I like Kanako's new mature look but her legs are just out of control. They are all over the place. She needs to learn to stretch out her legs..straighten them out or something.
There's been some crazy falls this year. Carolina was really into her program so the fall wasn't a big deal. I like her long better though.
I m so happy with Carolina 's sp that I forgot all the rest, I have watched it in the two previous Gps already but just cant get enough of it!
And I m also thrilled with Elisaveta, especially thinking that in the past her sps were her nemesis, and the fact that Eurosport guys cant spell her name right, it is hilarious!
Well done to Victoria also!
What happened to Kanako this year, i feel they want to make a 17 skate like Arakawa, her programs dont suit her.
I really like Viktoria Helgesson's SP this season. Granted, I usually like her programs. It was the only SP I watched - I can't bring myself to be that interested in the ladies' comp this season, for some reason.
The mule-kick you're referring- is it Caroline? Tara?

Just caught up with all top 3 performances on youtube. The 2 old guards stuck to the same old shtick again. Even if they are almost a decade older than Liza, their maturity, experience, competitive attitude apparently don't mean a heck of a lot competing next to her. They are suppose to have greater skating skills, but if it is a competition based on what one does on ice that day? Their score should be lower.
Carolina upping her game to the easiest 3:3 of the whole lot, and Alissa having her usual 4 minutes Ice Princess Me special on the Life channel (Audrey Part II following Audrey Part I last year - sponsored by Colgate. I am wondering if it will be a trilogy). Both a bit overmarked as usual in PCS (were they really that close to Liza with what they put out there? Come on!). Carolina's program still feels emotional shallow, vapid and there's nothing integrated about her package, except maybe a more 'interesting' background music used which she remember to pose on time during this Shostakovich piece. She failed to engage to it with any depth or reading of the music or even feelings (other than trepidation which was written all over her face). But apparently depth, sophistication, and interpreting just don't mean a great deal in competitive figure skating these days.
I don't know why people can't imagine this piece of music can work for skating, it has such a deliberate musical structure, sharply punctuated with motif through out. It is hardly shapeless, languid or over archingly lyrical that actually requires interpreting. If you can tap to the beat with your fingers and hum it, you sure can skate it. It should be stressed, it is not a competition of music choices but how the skater respond to it, and Carolina was just routine about it just like all her past performances.
If anything, the music cleverly hid Carolina's lazy failing arms, clumsy forms and lack of style in general. I often wonder if Carolina ever does dumbbell lifting during her training, because if there are any muscles between her torso to her finger tips, she rarely make use of them especially in the 2nd half!! Just watch her last year's Tango SP also confirms this. Her performance here is just as musically contrived and lack finesse as it has always been. Mind you, it is certainly an accomplishment she can make Shostakovich sound so vanilla, regardless of the lemon zing her costume implied, artificial sweetened and there's nothing genuine about it.
Liza proved why she is the great ingenue (soon no more) that would take the ladies by the storm this year. She is ballsy, gutsy, she owned the ice when she is ON and there's a world of difference between her performance attitude to the 2 other old guards. She attacks her program, she loves performing. Whatever limited/lacking program Liza were handed with, she did her best and was committed to it. The little ice coverage seems to be a trend right now, since points are rarely properly rewarded or penalized anyway. Of course Her physical size and limitation doesn't help either. I have said Liza is better than her programs and I am sticking to it. It is likely her choreography is the cheapest produced out of the 3, yet Liza's has added enough of her own embellishment to make it her own. Imo It is a better tango (even with a little Russia Diva attitude thrown in) than ALL of ladies's Tango Stampede last year including Akiko's and Carolina's.
I can see her PCS is slowly increasing but I'd argue she deserve more if is marked purely based on what was put out on ice today - regardless of her obvious small physical size. She is the only one responded to the music with conviction, thoughts and clarity. On top of that, she went out there and owned her program and remind people it is a still a skating competition that require competitive technical content. She totally earned her place while other 2 just sat back and hope they won't make anymore whoopsidaisies. They should thank their lucky stars the Russian Babies are not competing at worlds this year.
Less is more only if there's more to begin with. Otherwise less is just less!

Kostner really is the blade to ice skater, and those perfect jumps. WoW!
As many point out Elizaveta is still junior and she has the right to be so at 14. But it should show more in the pcs. She is great, I love her, but the difference between her and Carolina, Alissa and Viktoria is great. This is a ladies competition after all
I do understand what artistry in FS means to me, and it's not Alissa's plastic smile and that irritating shoulder move...As well as soppy is soppy and not "beautiful and lyrical" for everyone but me- "Valse Triste" is "beautiful and lyrical", "La Vie En Rose" is soppy all the way, it's obvious it was made especially for the Worlds, to make the French public like the skater. I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect - the program is way too naive and such a sophisticated public wouls probably like more Shostakovich. I'm sure you know French didn't like Edit Piaf very much, her songs were way too primitive for The French public, and she gain her popularity in US, where people actually liked that kind of light, soppy music with some "French", and thus exotic, feeling to it .
That's was she said in an official interview, while denying any cheating, saing she was forced to "admit" cheating by some members of Canadian federation and a few more.
Learn the subject before any sarcastic statements are made.
I like both Alissa's and Carolina's SP. And I love Liza's. I think that already now she expresses the music very well and has tones of charisma.
I disagree with everyone about Alissa's 'plastic' smile. It is a gorgeous smile. She did not glue it to her face throughout the whole program. It appeared when the music called for it - when it became softer and calmer. It is really hard to satisfy people. When skaters do not smile, you guys complain. When someone does it beautifully during a calming piece of music, it is wrong too....
I also don't see how is she slow. To me she looks to skate very fast, with a great flow and lightness. But I have not seen her live, so I may be mistaken.
I do not expect Czisny to be tip top Hepburn. I expect her to interpret the music and convey the atmosphere of the music. And she does that. Also the O_____O look is an exaggeration. She looks more confident now.
When it comes to Carolina's SP - it is different and original. Full of music nuances. In general she interprets it quite well. But there is few moves in which she tries to channel 'sexi', which together with some posing is off-putting and does not match the overall quality of the program.
I still have to warm up to Kanako.
Helgesson - it was one of her few skates that I actually enjoyed. To me, no matter what music she selects, she always skates the same. Could she also do something to her hair?? She is such a pretty girl, but this old lady hair style makes me cringe...

text: One of the most blissful periods in most women's life is when they discover that they are pregnant. But even when this may call for celebration, there is usually an attendant fear that a good number of these women nurse. The fear of a miscarriage numbs many pregnant women and they practically live through this fear till they deliver their babies or till their fears are confirmed. For a woman to become anxious because of miscarriage is quite normal as it is the desire of all pregnant women to be able to see the reward of the ordeal they have had to live through.

Let me be clear, I do not support default on the debt and we should never default on the debt and the only players who are threatening to default are President Obama and Harry Reid. This is an issue, and earlier in the show you played the President threatening default. In any given month tax revenue are 200 billion and interest is 30 or 40 billion. There is it plenty of revenue to service the debt and any responsible President would've stood at that podium and said 'whatever happens with the debt ceiling, we will always pay our debt. We'll never default on the debt' and the reason the President isn't doing that is he's trying to scare people and raise the spector of financial apocalypse." - Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Fox News Sunday 1/6/12

Uzbekistan using 'experts' to silence journalists, activists
Having suppressed independent journalism relatively completely in the country, the authoritarian Uzbek regime has now turned to other sectors of society it perceives as threatening to its ideology. State appointed so-called "experts" on undefined Uzbek national traditions are being dispatched on a witch hunt against independent-minded individuals, including a filmmaker and an anti-HIV/AIDS activist. This dangerous policy is in full swing at home but has been concealed from the world ever since

The Lee County Sheriff's Office Fraud Line has received dozens of complaints in the last week from residents who have received spam text messages, also known as "smishing", stating their debit card has been compromised or suspended. These texts request the recipient provide their card information in order for the card to be reactivated by either replying back via text, or calling a phone number included in the text message. Many of the messages do not identity a specific financial institution, but some have used the generic wording of "credit union" debit card.
It is important consumers know these messages are fraudulent and are being sent to lure debit card users into disclosing important financial information that could give the scammer access to fast cash via a compromised banking account. The Sheriff's Office reminds cardholders that legitimate debit and credit card issuers will never ask for your personal or financial information via text message or email.
If you have not entered your information as instructed, no action is required on your part. If you have provided information, please take the following steps:
• If the information you provided was for a credit card, call the issuer of the card that was compromised using the phone number listed on the back of your card.
• If the information you provided was for a debit card, contact your financial institution immediately to avoid losing cash.
Although it is difficult to avoid receiving these fraudulent text messages, these tips may help you from becoming a victim of "smishing":
• Contact your cell phone carrier to find out what you can do to control spam.
• Ignore instructions to text "stop" or "no" to prevent future texts. This is a common ploy by scammers to confirm they have a real, active phone number.
• Some mobile service providers allow you to forward unwanted spam text by texting it to 7726 (or "SPAM"). This enables the providers to prevent future unwanted texts from the specific sender.
For more information about this scam or if you would like to report a scam, please contact the Sheriff's Office fraud line at 477-1242.

quote:Not sure what this even means. Some of the most disturbing children's films are Disney flicks.
but I do fear that disney won't take it too dark for fear of damaging their reputation
The EU appeals to thousands and thousands of fans. I'm gonna say they'll be interested in seeing what comes next. I'll have cautious optimism.
there simply is no story after Episode VI.
When the original 3 movies came out, why were they titled 4,5, and 6? Did Lucas have it in his head that someday down the road he would introduce another 3 movies as a prequal?
When the original 3 movies came out, why were they titled 4,5, and 6? Did Lucas have it in his head that someday down the road he would introduce another 3 movies as a prequal?
To be honest, I've never had somebody explain this to me either.
I will follow along with George's "outline" of the saga even though many parts of what he says now can be proven untrue by things he has said in the past ... suffice it to say that the 6 movie saga we have now bears very, very, VERY little resemblance to what he started out with as in the beginning Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker were two separate characters, Luke & Leia were NOT brother & sister & there was this mysterious "other Skywalker" that would show up to help Luke defeat the Emperor & his henchman Darth Vader.
At first there was actually 12 episodes to the story, Lucas wanted to tell it in the same fashion as the old Flash Gordon serials. Realizing that it wouldn't work that way he cut it down to 9 episodes. The first trilogy was to be about the rise & fall of Anakin Skywalker, the second trilogy was to be about the rise of Luke Skywalker & the redemption of Anakin Skywalker, the third was to be about the "other Skywalker".
Lucas started with ep IV, & NO ... it was NOT called ep IV when it first came out, because of all the parts of the story it was the only one that could be seen as a "stand alone" movie ... meaning it had a clear beginning and a clear ending. If the movie were to have flopped, as most ... including Lucas to a certain extent ... thought it would we would never have to know that there was more of the story to tell. Not many people know that the movie was actually in theaters very briefly in the summer of 1976, at that time it was called "The Star Wars". I have tried to no avail to find out why it was yanked out of theaters that summer. When it returned in the summer of 1977 it was called "Star Wars". The 30th Anniversary Star Wars Saga Source Book contradicts the public records of Calif that year but in a nutshell, when Lucas realized he had a monster hit on his hands he knew that he would be able to tell more of his story on film and the name was legally changed 01/01/79 to Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope. This is also when he worked out a sweet heart of a agreement with FOX that gave him exclusive rights to the story itself & to any kind of mass market toys, games, action figures etc ... the deal was unheard of at the time as there had never been a time when you could go to Micky D's and get a Darth Vader glass with your order. Not only did Lucas create a movie that would change the film industry but he also was the first to make money off from selling items that represented things in the movies.
So again in a nutshell, ep IV was made first because it is the only one of the movies that can be seen as a stand alone movie. The other ones depend greatly on things we find out in the other movies.
Its been 40 years since the battle of Endor. The Emperor died, the Empire surrendered, Han and Leia got hitched, Luke got a dog, everything is peachy, until a new threat...."
Having J.J. Abrams lead off the 3rd installment, this won't be good for the franchise.
You see Disney decapitating someone?
I do. But I'm keeping my hopes up. I try not to hate on movies before they come out.

The small communities that dot the coast around False Bay at the southern end of the Cape Peninsula are well worth exploring and can easily be accessed by trains from the city center. Muizenberg, one of the Cape's oldest settlements and, in the early 20th century a prestigious seaside resort, is the starting point for this walk that takes you up into the Silvermine Nature Reserve, part of Table Mountain National Park (www.tmnp.co.za).
Start at (1) Muizenberg Station and exit onto Main Road heading north past Muizenberg Park. Turn right at tiny York Road, along which you'll find the (2) Empire Café (11 York Road; www.empirecafe.co.za), a favorite hangout for surfers and one of the best places in Muizenberg to eat. Cross the train tracks here and hit Beach Road, which, naturally, provides access to Muizenberg's fine sandy beach where you'll see the primary-color, Victorian-style bathing huts, an often reproduced Capetonian photographic image. Follow Beach Road east until you reach the (3) Joan St. Leger Lindbergh Arts Centre (18 Beach Road), a couple of handsome houses designed by noted 19th-century architect Sir Herbert Baker; apart from the art gallery, library, and café you can also stay in one of the houses which is now run as a guesthouse.
Return to Muizenberg Park. Facing it on Camp Road is the old (4) synagogue (Camp Road at Main Road), a remnant of the 1930s and '40s when Muizenberg had a large Jewish population. At the end of the road, a flight of concrete steps leads up to Boyes Drive. You can follow this road all the way to Kalk Bay, your ultimate destination, but as you're now right beside the Silvermine Nature Reserve it would be a shame not to explore this lovely wilderness area. Head up the steps into the hills where you see the sign for (5) Bailey's Kloof. Initially a steep climb, the way eventually becomes more gentle as you enter the (6) Mimetes Valley, named after the mimetes trees that grow here. Where the path eventually forks, head northwest for about 218 yards (200 meters) to find (7) Nellie's Pool, an ideal resting point.
Retrace your steps back to Boyes Drive, which, as you continue toward Kalk Bay, offers panoramic views across False Bay toward Simon's Town and Cape Point. It's a prime location for whale-watching from the end of September to early November. Boyes Drive eventually leads into Clairvaux Road, ending up at (8) Kalk Bay Harbour where you'll find a lively fish market Monday to Saturday. It's a great spot to linger over freshly prepared seafood and a chilled glass of wine; try (9) Live Bait, which has tables almost within arm's reach of the crashing waves. Afterward, check out the many fine antiques and crafts stores of Kalk Bay, finishing up with a drink at either the classic (10) Olympia Café & Deli (134 Main Road) or the lively (11) Brass Bell (www.brassbell.co.za/) pub beside the Kalk Bay train station.

En Gardé
The common image of fencing as a sword battle between knights isn't too far from the truth.
Fencers gear up in white suits that almost look like a beekeeper's uniform. Instead of protecting the wearer from bees, they're protecting them from an opponent's metal sword. They have a choice of three weapons.
Epee, Foil and Saber each involve a different style of fighting.
None of the styles are just about attacking an opponent.
Local fencing coach Peter Gundunas compares the sport to dancing.
"The principle of the sport, much like ballet or dance, is to make it look effortless," Gundunas said.
Foil is the most basic weapon, and a common starting place.
"I like all three, but foil the most," said Jacob Malone, a 15-year-old fencer.
Malone described Epee and Foil as thrusting weapons, where competitors score only from the tip. In Epee, the entire body is the target, Malone said.
"You're just waiting for a hole to open so you can get the touch on them," he said.
Foil, the most basic style, is based on the torso alone, he said.
In Saber bouts, the scoring is based on waist-up moves.
"You can slash and thrust," Malone explained.
The different weapons also have different speeds. Saber is very fast and aggressive, Malone said.
"Epee is slow, and its almost like watching paint dry if you're watching it," Malone said.
Much of the scoring is electronic, although judges pay attention and sometimes have to make judgement calls on who deserves a point depending on positioning, weaponry and other details. Malone said that in foil bouts, a judge has to decide who gets points based on certain right-of-way rules that dictate whose turn it is. In Epee, those rules are not in play: both fencers can get points at the same time.
Peninsula fencers learn to direct bouts — the technical term for judging — as well as fence, Malone said.
"I personally like bout directing," he said.
Fencing is an old sport, an original Olympic competition, and one of just three western martial arts. The others are boxing and wrestling.
Gundunas said it costs about $300 to outfit for one weapon including the electronic scoring mechanisms required for tournaments.
New fencers usually use club equipment for their first month or so, and then invest in their own gear, Gundunas said. No one in Alaska sells the equipment right now, so it has to be ordered from Outside.
Despite the cost, fencing is accessible to everyone.
"Fencing is the equalizer," Gundunas said.
It requires more thinking. Size and weight are less important.
"If you know what you're doing and you use what you have, you can be a champion," Gundunas said.
The Kenai Peninsula Fencing Club meets at Skyview High School, as part of the Soldotna Community Schools program. Adults are also welcome to participate.

out of interest, but do the lights on the front of the rangefinder unit have to be red? would it be possible to make them another colour on a custom helmet (im not talking about doing it on a Boba or Jango helm, that would be sacriligious!)
any input would be welcomed

Outdoor Fun in the Catskill Mountains
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ at Birchwood Acres • Greenfield Park, NY
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two Adults and Two Children at a Campsite for a Tent, Pop-Up Camper, Trailer, or RV, Sundays through Thursdays from May 28 to August 29 or Fridays through Sundays May 31 to June 16 ($68)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two Adults and Two Children in a Luxury Trailer, Sundays through Thursdays from May 28 to August 29 or Fridays through Sundays from May 31 to June 16 ($192)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two Adults and Two Children in a Deluxe Lodge, Sundays through Thursdays from May 28 to August 29 or Fridays through Sundays from May 31 to June 16 ($227)
The Destination
New York's Catskill Mountains have welcomed visitors from the Big Apple and beyond for as long as Americans have gone on vacation. Most people come to enjoy the area's 2,000,000 acres of forests, streams, farmland, and wildlife, but the Catskills are still most famous for hosting music-loving hippies at the original Woodstock festival. Since the summer of '69, the site has transformed into the Bethel Woods Center for the Performing Arts, putting on concerts by world-class artists. Fresh produce stands, wineries, and golf courses keep travelers entertained in the warm weather, while Holiday Mountain Ski & Fun Park draws crowds all year long.
The Digs
Set in the Catskills just two hours from New York City, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™at Birchwood Acres is both a wooded camping resort and a three-ring circus for families with kids. Bring along bedding, towels, and kitchenware for stays in semi-furnished deluxe lodges and luxury trailers, which feature microwaves, Wi-Fi, cable television, and air conditioning. Campers can set up tents and RVs on spacious sites in the resort-style campground, enjoying the playgrounds, volleyball court, and ten-person hot tub by day, and s'mores around the campfire by night. And since fishing, games, and wagon rides with Yogi Bear™ and Boo Boo™ are free for all resort guests, family bonding time is easy to come by.
The Diversions
Once breakfast is finished and sunscreen applied, spend the morning splashing in the spray pool or doing handstands in the Olympic-sized pool. Then, rush down the playground's big red slide before playing a game of horseshoes. In the afternoon, rent a boat and float above the lake, and at night, tell a few spooky tales under the stars. The next day, fill your pockets with sweet treats from the snack bar, and then take in 50-mile panoramas from Sam's Point Preserve, race go-karts at Holiday Mountain, pet the animals at Kelder's Farm, or catch a concert and see the Woodstock museum at Bethel Woods.

Machine Shop Pitches Product Idea Through Kickstarter
Manufacturers are often closet inventors. That is true for Kevin Saruwatari of manufacturing firm Qsine. He's using a crowdsourcing website called Kickstarter in hopes of getting the financial kick to start developing his product.
Manufacturers are often closet inventors. People who work with machine tools frequently see ideas for retail products they could produce on these machines—if only there was a way to develop and test the market for that product. Now, Kickstarter potentially offers a way to begin. Kevin Saruwatari of manufacturing firm Qsine recently launched this Kickstarter page to test the interest in his idea for a retail product, a heatsink and enclosure for the Raspberry Pi computer.
Kickstarter is a crowdsourcing website for funding entrepreneurs. Inventors and artists promote their ideas on the site, and donors pledge large or small amounts (as small as $1) to support the ideas they like. If a project obtains the pledges needed to go forward, then the entrepreneur collects the money. If not, the backers aren't charged.
Mr. Saruwatari hopes this test case with Kickstarter succeeds, because he aims to use this channel to develop other ideas for machined products. In the video on his Kickstarter page, he discusses the 9-axis mill-turn capability he would use to produce the enclosure. As you watch the video and consider supporting the project, perhaps you'll also see possibilities for advancing a retail product idea you have in mind? It would be great to see machining businesses start to find new opportunities and new customers through this channel.

Re: Slow-cooker
Oh no, Thistledo! I only just noticed this. About 8 hours on Low would do it (that's approximate, as are all slow cooker times) but it's surely too late!

I also do not cook the potatoes in with the pot roast because they definitely water down the flavor of the sauce and add a starchiness that I don't really like.
I'm with you on potatoes cooked in a stew, they also get that sort of waterlogged crockpot potato texture and funny taste. I sort of like it when my Mum does it, but I think that's just childhood nostalgia.
When I'm doing the cooking I either cook the tatties separately like you, or leave the skins on and put them in a colander in the slow cooker for the last couple of hours so they steam above the stew. That's pretty nice. You can also peel and chop them and put them in a covered dish with some butter, S&P and float it on top of the stew.
I'm getting quite keen on lazy accompaniments like this. If I'm cooking curry in the crockpot, I now put rice in a small dish with seasonings and twice its volume of boiling water and float it on top for the last hour or so. It comes out surprisingly well. Of course, that's only a timesaver if you're in the house an hour before dinner!

Re: Slow-cooker
Worry not Hippy, because that's exactly what I did. I had to make a speedy decision and it paid off. Thanks anyway. The ham hock was delicious.
Never put spuds in a stew - I like the contrast of textures with the stew and the potatoes separate.
The only meal I include spuds with is pot roast of brisket (on the hob), together with whole onion(s). The spuds soak up the juices of the meat - natural juices too because I never introduce water to my pot roast. Whilst the brisket is resting, I then chuck in a good slug of red wine and continue with that to make the gravy. Mmmm, I'm salivating just thinking about it.

I've been using Amy's bee labels for many years and have been very satisfied with her service. She does custom work, but I don't know to what extent. She is a professional graphic designer for Dadant, so she's probably suited for most design tasks. My wife does most of our label design and Amy makes it label-ready. Also, her labels are not totally waterproof, but do hold up very well under most usage.

I made what I consider to be some fairly nice looking labels using the Avery labels from walmart and Avery's website to design them.
I have not calculated it to see the cost effect compared to buying labels, but I like the convenience of doing them when I need them.
I bought some of the Avery printable jar labels at Walmart. Just go to their website and design your own label and print them on your own printer.
It's pretty basic, but it works well for a small operation.
I was really pleased with it.

Any cost you incur,including labels should be paid for by customers...that is if you have them. Until the customer pays the costs incurred are yours

Well, sure. All costs are eventually paid for by the customer. My point was just because something costs what you think is somewhat expensive shouldn't keep you from spending the money, make the investment.
Mark Berninghausen
But first the product has to be visually appealing to the customer in order to make the decision to purchase the goods.
To put things in perspective, a toy company I use to work for would spend 25% of their MSRP on packing.
Example: If the toy cost $20.00 at Walmart, $5.00 of that $20.00 cost went to paying for packaging.
I had trouble getting Avery labels to remain stuck on the jars. Onlinelabels.com labels have good stickum and a zillion sizes/shapes.

Before spending money on labels make sure the labels meet FDA (and state or local) requirements. Basic requirements are product description, ingredients, name and address of processor, and weight in ounces and grams (U. S. Standard and metric). Below is a link to FDA labeling information.
What does your label look like?
What do they cost?
What is the point of your label? To attract attention? To be recognizable as DanielY's honey? To inform w/ as few a number of words as necessary? To fit into the kind of outlet you wish to market through? (my label wouldn't fit in a fancy upscale kind of outlet)
Do you sell much honey?
Mark Berninghausen
2. Don't remember, very cheap.
3. To make our name known, to make our brand known, to tell people it is raw natural honey of course. and to give contact info most likely a web site in order to re purchase.
at the moment the contact info repurchase info is pending further decisions. I do not want to sell out quickly. I am looking to develop enough loyal repeat customers to sell what honey we do produce. at this time that will be easy to over do. We started out selling it to fast and then dwindled to almost nothing as of now we are a little bit behind.
4. Whole food to Fancy Up scale is exactly what I am looking for. we are also considering selling much of it as a holiday, Gift. Gift basket sort of product. It is likely we could end up in nothing but Upscale due to other products I can make and sell.
5. so far less then 300 lbs form 4 hives. next year we are looking to have 21 hives. Not sure i will focus much on honey production. We have so far sold about 100lbs of that 300.

Thinking about doing a paint job with a candy...Got some ?'s
I searched the site, but didn't have any luck finding answers to my questions.
I've seen some paint on a Big Dog chopper that I want to do for my own bike. However it is a candy color and I'm not sure of the process since it's been a while since I've painted and will be the first time with a candy color. So... I'm just thinking of the basic process. I was thinking of (after prime and prep) 3 coats base, wet sand, and then three coats base and then another round of sanding. Seems to be pretty typical of todays painters. But when I do the candy, I'm not sure how many coats to lay on. Also, from what I've seen/read the candy coat is more "misted" on there rather painted. Is this correct? Is there any sanding on the candy coats before the clear goes on?
Finally, on a lot of the T.V. shows I see a lot of the painters doing complete coats of filler on the cars to get a smooth base on the cars. This certainly can't be the best way to do it can it? It seems to me like at least it takes some of the craftsmanship away from the metal work. Either way, what type of product are they using? Seems its got to be a good product if you can't coat a whole car or bike with it and it stands up to the stress of driving/riding.
Thanks for any info you can pass my way!!
The only reason you will sand the base is to remove dirt and nibs.. Base can not be sanded before top coating... There is a chemical adhesion with base and sanding it screws that up.
You are going to need test panels with your candy applications too... and you will also want ot over reduce the candy... this is not a 2 or 3 coat job either... if you can get it in 8 or 9 coats over reduced it will come out much nicer and less issues as far as stripping and blotching etc....
Covering a car in filler can be done by hand and 2 part glaze such as "Icing", but if you are going to do so, get a polyester primer.. it is the same thing only sprayable.. 2 or 3 coats should be enough to level out wavy panels...
and yes it will hold up to driving... It is not intended for smooth base, but to get the panels straight... Flat paint jobs come from flat panels, and that comes from many hours of sanding primers,fillers, and clear...
Here is a candy thread with 74 replys.. Candy Paint Info
Here is 1 thread on polyester primer.. Poly Primer
Just go to the search button after you are in the body/exterior section and type in these type words and you will find hours and hours of reading info...

Re: Do you compost?
My compost bins are my pets, they are called Bernard and Fran, and now my neighbour has one, so I am quietly calling it Manny!
We live in flats so there isn't much space for them, but we manage! I have a twirly metal stick for keeping them aerated. I have just emptied Bernard and am starting to fill him up again while Fran is completely full and will digest for a couple of months!
I haven't really lived in a place without a compost heap in my adult life. I couldn't bear to put food scraps in the rubbish! I tried, it was horrible!

Re: Do you compost?
Three compost bins on the go and would have more if I could, since doing it 20 years ago properly and with the Plastic & paper collections starting last year our rubbish is now a 1/3rd of what it was! I just cannot make enough though as I use the raised bed system and use pots to grow veg! My compost bins love shredded paper which gives an extra security blanket to my bills but certainly doesn't like teabag outers and I remove them now.
Hopefully a wormery will be happening soon!
I collect leaves every year for the leave mould and keep it for a year and what a mulch it makes...

Re: Do you compost?
Composting became mandatory in San Francisco about a year-and-a-half ago. Many residents live in apartments, and have no access to a private yard that's large enough to accommodate a compost "bed" or "heap." The city issues mini garbage cans (about 12 inches high), that we line with biodegradable bags, for the deposit of the week's food scraps. The scraps go into a large can that goes out for weekly pick up.

Re: Do you compost?
Hey all, I am a dreadfully lazy composter. I have a heap which i put kitchen scraps in - but not onion as the worms don't like it - and never meat or dairy, I add all garden waste - unless it is diseased - and the bedding from the chook house, any grass clippings. I'll add comfrey cause it is an activater, I think yarrow is too and there are some others. Then it will sit and sit and sit. It breaks down but it takes ages. I have space so I am not too worried.
Then I'll start up a new one somewhere else and the cycle goes on. But things grow out of the compost heap so I'll let them and then just keep adding or not. As I said pretty lazy. My mum used to just buy a bin and cut the bottom off and leave the lid on.
But with the horses and cows I put their poop in a pile with grass clippings and let it sit for at least 6 months because they get wormed -as in they get stuff to stop worms in them - and it takes that long for it to breakdown properly. I never have these piles near where I am growing food, they tend to be in the paddock so nothing gets into my growing soil, I like organic growing.
Worm farms are fabulous things and I will get one one day, but at the moment I get worm wee off a mate so I'm not tooo worried. Kat.

Re: Do you compost?
My maternal grandparents both grew up on farms in the early 1900's, and they were avid composters. My grandfather built a large concrete box for the "heap," and tended to it on a regular basis. Not surprisingly, their garden was beautiful and healthy.
It was only a few years ago that my mother and uncle confessed that, as kids, they felt embarrassed that their parents insisted on compost ..., "everyone else's family relied on the garbage pick-up, and they didn't HAVE to separate food scraps."
Today, of course, they laugh about it, and appreciate the fierce recycling focus that their parents had. They have become disciples, and have a lot of experience upon which to draw from my grandparents' example.

Re: Do you compost?
Yes I compost, but I must confess that I don't aerate it as often as I should. I'm amazed at how much stuff I put in there and how little comes out! We also have a green recycling program in our area which takes branches and things I don't want in the compost, they grind it up then sell compost and mulch for very reasonable prices. That's where I get the compost for my raised beds since I can't make enough for all 5 of them.

Re: Do you compost?
G'day....yes we compost...we have two worm farms...both working away like mad. Our worm wee is so good we have to dilute it lol. We give it to friends instead of bottles of wine...they all know they can count on us for at least one bottle for their birthday. We recycle our wine bottles .Our garden is booming....fruit and veggies everywhere....it helps that we live in the tropics and where the weather is perfect for that...the farms around us grow corn, avocado, macadamia nuts peanuts bananas etc. We can buy most of what we need from farmers markets.... every weekend in various villages nearby....but it's much more fun to do it ourselves.
I have laid awake at night thinking about those worms munching and crunching away....doing what they do best....enriching our soils and it's all free.

After further digging on Ancestry.com, I found this July, 1960 blurb in the Lebanon Daily News. It is accompanied by a picture of Gerald I've never seen before. Unfortunately, it's very blurry and smudged. I've contacted the Lebanon Daily News to see if I can get a copy but so far have not been successful.
UPDATE! I've found the photo!
NAVY BUDDIES- Enlisting in the U.S. Navy recently under the "Buddy Program" were Gerald E. Kline, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel A. Kline, 127 W. Church St., Annville; William E. Waltman, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward R. Waltman, Cornwall; and William T. Adams, 17, son of MSgt. and Mrs. Thomas J. Adams, 35 N. Third ST., Lebanon. The three will remain together during recruit training at Great Lakes Naval Training Station. Kline attended Annville-Cleona High School, Waltman attended Cornwall High; and Adams attended Lebanon High before enlisting.

Hi Ladies
I am putting out an idea and want to see if anyone would be interested in this. I got this idea from another board that we traded handmade greeting cards.
Ok.....first it is a year commitment so please be aware of that.
I would like to do a birthday "gifter" swap. Everyone interested would send me their address and your birthday. Then each month I would gather all the people celebrating their birthdays during the month and send out a message with their name and address. all you would do is sending that person (or people) a pack of 50 unique 2.5 candy squares.
I think it best to keep it in the US only for postage sake and have the limit to 30 swappers.
I know when I did this and received handmade cards it was so much fun.....a great birthday month!
Our first month to send packages will be March so we have time to get our packages ready.
so if you are interested please PM me your name address and birthday.
If I get people to sign up for this we will start a new thread so we don't get confused with Sheri's yummy candy swap!

Richard has a very nice flat in a great neighborhood.
We really enjoyed the proximity with the city center. There are lots
of public transportations in the vicinity of the apartment making it
easy to explore the Lisbon, its suburbs and even more remote locations
by foot.
Our stay could have been perfect, if it wasn't for the very
uncomfortable double bed. We had some terrible nights for our backs,
which made resting properly between journeys visiting the city hard.
great central location, nearby Largo do Carmo what is beautiful tiny square with diffrent musicians every night. nice flat in calm street and with good facilities. definitely will come back someday!
Really lovely apartment in a great location. Richard was really friendly and made us feel at home straight away. He also provided us with a cot and highchair for our son, which was very useful. All-in-all a great choice! We had a wonderful time here.
Richard has a feeling for valuable information. His communication was sparse. But his flat speaks for itself: very stylish combination of Bairro-alto-feeling and comfort, phantastic patio, were one could breakfast or talk into morning hours, with the soft sounds of Portuguese voices around, the famous Gloria-escalator and the Sao-Petro-Miradouro, nice restaurants and groceries, all in reach by food. Whenever I am lucky enough to go to Lisbon again, I would try to stay at Richard's place!
Lovely appartment on the ground floor. No stairs to climb which is great after climbing all the steepy Lisboan streets. Very close to centre and the Rua Atalaia with all the bars, music etc. Enough space for three persons with a nice patio, great for having breakfast and dinner outside. Richard is a very nice easygoing host.
It was really a very nice flat well located... I can absolutely recommend that :) thanks
We enjoyed staying in Richards cosy appartment. Very complete, nice kitchen and bathroom, good beds. Very well situated, walking distance to the historic centre. Beware of low doorways in the appartment, tall people might hurt their head! Friendly and reliable host. Thanks again for having us.
We had a really nice stay at this apartment. The situation was perfect at Ipanema, close to the beach and restaurants and felt really safe. 24h open secuirty every day. The apatment didn´t have WiFi but internet cabel so keep in mind to bring a computer if you´re in need of internet. Of course the place looked better on the pictures than in reality but it was clean. Quite noisy due to large busy street outside the bedrooms. Overall everything worked out really well!
This appartement is really nice, it has a great location in a area with a lot og restaurants and bars, but without noise during the night. It is really cozy and has a really nice patio with room to dine. The host, richard, is really nice and helpfull. We will definetely recommend this appartement:)
Excelente zona envolvente (imensas zonas verdes, praias a uns minutos de carro), a Old Village é acolhedora, a casa confortável e tranquila.
Excellent surroundings (lot's of green areas, the beach is a few minutes away by car), the Old Village is welcoming and cozy, the house is comfortable and peaceful.
