Can you post some pics of how the dowels work? I'm interested to see that.
Wow, thanks!
I did some price checking at Lowe's on lumber and figured out how many top bars, end bars, and bottom bars I can get out of a board. Looks like I can make a frame for $0.24 in materials vs. $0.75 for buying commercial frames from Dadant. I need to make 350 medium frames, Trying to determine if it's worth my time.
I make all my frames out of used lumber so they're basically free. Having made many hundreds I can say I'm honestly tired of making them and can't even motivate myself to make any more. If I was in a pinch, sure I'd make them. Short of that I wouldn't even consider it. If you need to make 350, go that extra mile and cut out the parts for 700 or 1000. I can say for myself that it's not worth my time.

I can buy frames for $65.00 per hundred my time is worth a little something like playing with my grand son
What if the time you spend, making those frames, is more valuable than the frames you make.
It's like saying, you can buy fish for $8.00 a pound, why would anyone want to buy a boat and go fishing.
DLMKA.........So if you can cut out 35 frames in an hour you are paying yourself $17.85 per hour. The uniformity of your frame parts will probably not be as consistent as the one's you'll buy from Dadant or a similar supplier (at least mine aren't). But I like making them.........sometimes. I also like making my bottom boards, boxes, and lids.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. It isn't how much fish cost, it's all about how much you enjoy fishing. It isn't about how much frames cost, it is all about the joy and pride of making your own frames.
pom51.... enjoys time with the Grand kids, so he buys his frames, rather than making them. Very understandable. Someone else enjoys making his/her own frames so it doesn't matter how much it cost to make them or how much time it takes. That's all I was saying.
Apparently I struck a nerve. Very Sorry.

I cut almost 100 end bars from machined blocks tonight in about an hour. Would have taken less time if I'd not also been continuing the rehabilitation of the wonky bandsaw I bought cheap (new guide holder and thrust bearings tonight, made a big difference).
I work slow, since my shop is currently unheated (old furnace quit, haven't got the new one converted to propane and installed), but it took me a couple hours to cut, surface, and slot some 2x6 stock to cut top bars out of and another hour or so to cut them apart. Spent two hours the other night making the blocks for end bars and cutting bottom bars (I used divided bars, so I was sawing 5/16" squares).
So if figure about six hours total on 120 frames. Longest job is the dados on the top bars and cutting the frame wedge, since that's 8 operations per bar.
Plan on 18 hours or so for making 350 frames, not including assembly time (although that's much faster, especially with a jig). Best way to buy the lumber is 2x10 yellow pine, I think, it's the cheapest and straightest while still being easy to work and nail. Scrap is better, but not if you have to work very hard or drive somewhere to get it. I've been scrounging in the scrap bin at Menard's, nice 24" 2x6 pieces for 29 cents is hard to pass up. Lots of 1x12 cutoffs, too, that work well for medium or shallow boxes at 69 cents each.
Please note that if you don't already have the necessary equipment (table saw, planer, and band saw) making frames or boxes is silly -- I've got nearly two grand in the equipment and tools and you can buy all the hobby beekeeping equipment you will ever need for that! However, since I have them, the use is pretty much free to make frames, and my time would be spent on some other hobby or cleaning house, I'm not turning down real paid work.
I'll post some pictures shortly, got things to do for the next couple days.
pom51, I go to the garage to work on stuff to get AWAY from my kids. Love them dearly but I need some shop time too.
If I hated making or building things I would just pay for fully assembled frames, I have the money to just buy the dang things but I get immense satisfaction in doing things for myself, even if it's just once to say I know how.
Went by Lowe's tonight to get some lumber and on my way in I see a pack of culled 1" pine boards, everything from 1X12X10 to 1X4X8. List price on the whole package was over $300, had it marked at $150. Talked to they guy at the counter and it's been there almost a week, in two days it'll drop to $75 unless someone buys it before then. Now we're talking. Probably enough wood there for 1000 or more frames (minus endbars cut from 2X10 planed down to 1.375".
I bought a tablesaw a little over a month ago off Craigslist for $100. Bought a dado stack and freud all purpose blade. Already made 35 supers and 6 screened bottom boards.
>Longest job is the dados on the top bars and cutting the frame wedge, since that's 8 operations per bar.
who needs a frame wedge? I have been using GTB's and GBB's for decades. Dislike frame wedges.
don't get me wrong I make all of the boxes and top and bottoms for I have access to cypress lumber at a very good price. just like to keep all my fingers away from fast moving saw blades. I have all the equipment to make the frames but would better spend my time,making splits or other hive components
It was just a bad analogy based on my personal experience with boats. They require more time to maintain than they gain in fishing time.
Same thing with making bee equipment. Some people get as much, if not more satisfaction, out of making their own equipment, as they do actually taking care of their bees. For these people, the thrill of making it themselves, is the thrill. Not how much time it takes, or how much they can save by just buying it. For those without the proper equipment, or who have other things to do, it is more advantageous for them to buy it. I always tell everyone, do whatever works for you. BIG difference between hobbyist and commercial also.
I am going to back out of this thread. I apologize for straying from the basic intent of this thread, which was a question by Westernbeekeepr. He wanted to know if you make your own frames, and show him how you do it. Unfortunately I responded to questioning as to whether or not a person should make their own frames, or, just buy them.
Thanks again. Happy Bee Keeping.

I went to a 4-H style frame for my medium boxes where the only machining done is on the top bar. Your end bars are basically a rectangle and the bottom bar (which is at least 1/2" thick) can be fastened to the bottom of the end bars or between them. It drastically cuts down on machine time and I still just can't find it in my heart to make frames anymore, just too many hives/frames to deal with for me even during the winter. I made the bottom bars thicker so I could run a kerf down the center of them and they would still have enough material below the kerf not to split when i thump honey supers. Boxes I'll make all day long no big deal.

Funny, I was contemplating that very thing earlier today. He's one of the top DC's today.
would we have to change to a 3'4 defense? i always thought it would be interesting if we did.
I also expect him to backpedal on his statements soon. Usually the pattern. Rex makes stupid statement, backpedals and either says he didn't make it or should never have made it.
Guess I should've looked at ESPN. Apparently he already backpedaled before I wrote this. So predictable and a horse's ***.

By: Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D.
The beginning of a New Year is a wonderful time to reflect on the past year and to think about what lies ahead. While 2011 had its share of challenges for us at FDA, it was also a time of significant accomplishment. We are excited about the many opportunities that 2012 will bring to the Agency.
2011 began with the most sweeping reform of our food laws in more than 70 years. FSMA promises an even safer food supply than we enjoy today and a wonderful opportunity to help promote public health. We also continued the hard work of implementing the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.
On the medical product front, there were a multitude of outstanding activities and advances. Importantly, we renewed our focus on the importance of innovation, in our own work and in the products we are tasked to review. This was also a remarkable year for innovative drug approvals. During Fiscal Year 2011, the FDA approved 35 novel drugs, targeting diseases such as late-stage lung cancer, metastatic breast cancer, and hepatitis C.
We also worked to continually strengthen the science that guides our policies, including many important collaborations with key partners and stakeholders. Even with all of our ongoing work, when crises came in 2011, we acted swiftly to protect the American people. We also continued to strengthen our capacity to address one of the greatest challenges in this new century – our increasingly globalized world. "Pathway to Global Product Safety and Quality"
In 2012, FDA will meet new and complex challenges and continue our work in implementing FSMA and the Tobacco Act, promoting advancements and innovation in medical products, and broadening our strategic globalization and regulatory science initiatives. We will be working closely with Congress and stakeholders to support the reauthorization of user fees for pharmaceutical products (PDUFA), and medical devices (MDUFA), as well as to authorize new user fees for generic drugs (GDUFA) and biosimilars.
I am confident, thanks to the dedication of the employees of the FDA, that we will continue to make invaluable contributions to the lives of you, the American people.
I wish you and your family a healthy and happy 2012.
Margaret Hamburg, M.D., is Commissioner of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration.

In the early half of the 14th century a quarrel over the succession to the French throne escalated into what history would define as the Hundred Years' War. In 2007, KOEI's upcoming video game, BLADESTORM: THE HUNDRED YEARS' WAR will bring to life the intensity and drama of a war-torn Medieval Europe featuring a rich tapestry of legendary characters including Joan of Arc and Prince Edward- later to be named the Black Prince.
Utilizing a new game engine attainable only through the power of next-generation hardware, the game's armies will collide on the battlefield at an unprecedented scale. Countless numbers of men consumed with ferocious intensity will converge on screen, where tactics and cunning will combine with valor and might to determine who is left standing at the end of the day.
The game's unique style of action thrusts players into dynamic and ever-changing conflicts. Players must adjust their strategies as skirmishes evolve, and then deploy the unit best-suited to handle the challenge. At a player's command is a broad array of troops including infantry, archers, and cavalry, as well as a variety of specialized units such as elephant units, cannoniers, and castle siege specialists. While each unit is comprised of autonomous soldiers, each warrior will contribute to the assigned objective.
BLADESTORM: THE HUNDRED YEARS' WAR utilizes a "Free Mission" system that allows players to align their forces with either the French or English on a battle-by-battle basis. This unparalleled freedom allows players to take on different assignments, or simply experience a given battle from an opposing side.
Game progression is wholly dependent on a player's decisions and accomplishments on the battlefield. Players must establish a reputation as a dependable and capable leader by successfully completing each mission. The reputable commander will attract more desirable troops to his employ, and will be asked to take on weightier challenges that reflect his status as a fighter and leader of men. The troops themselves will also become more lethal as they gain combat experience. Through a point system, players can augment their units' combat capabilities.

Sometimes you want the best money can buy; sometimes your project requires you to use the best router bits made. If so, this router bit fits the bill! Starting with a better quality steel for the bodies (SAE4140), we heat treat it to the appropriate hardness and apply K10 micro grain carbide. We then precision grind the blades to 800 grit (using the wet grinding process) so that it is razor sharp and then finish it with a baked-on metallic paint. This router bit is made for us and to our exacting specifications in an ISO 9001 rated factory. The purple color used on our Super-Duty Router Bits is a registered trademark and is owned by Grizzly Industrial.
Single fluted cutter offers more backing behind the carbide and is great for plunging.

Bat Conservation in Georgia
Much of this information is from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Other sources include the Georgia DNR's Wildlife Resources Division and the U.S. Geological Survey.
What is white-nose syndrome, or WNS?
White-nose syndrome is a malady blamed for the death of more than 6 million bats in the U.S. WNS has been called "the most precipitous wildlife decline in the past century in North America."
The disease is named for the white fungus on the muzzles and skin of affected bats. Discovered by a caver in eastern New York's Schoharie County in February 2006 and documented by state biologists the following winter, white-nose has rapidly spread to sites throughout the Northeast and into the Southeast, the Midwest and Canada.
WNS is caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans, or Pd, which thrives in the cold and humid conditions characteristic of caves and mines used by bats.
All bats affected with WNS do not have obvious fungal growth, but they may display abnormal behavior (see below) in and outside of their hibernacula – caves and mines where bats hibernate during winter.
The fungus leads to bats being awakened too often from hibernation, or less intense periods of torpor. The bats may then use up fat reserves, which they need to survive hibernation, long before winter is over. Affected bats often leave their hibernacula during winter, searching for insects that have not yet emerged, leading to death of the bats by causes including starvation, cold and stressed immune systems.
Death rates of 90-100 percent have been seen in some hibernacula.
Emaciation and poor body condition were common factors in bat carcasses checked by the U.S. Geological Survey's National Wildlife Health Center. Many of the bats examined had little or no body fat.
Bat-to-bat transmission has been verified and is considered the most common pathway. Affected sites generally following bat migration routes.
Research has also shown that viable Pseudogymnoascus destructans spores can be transmitted on gear, meaning white-nose may also be transmitted by people inadvertently carrying the causative agent from cave to cave on shoes, clothing and gear.
As of May 2016, white-nose has been documented in 29 states and five Canadian provinces.
The syndrome was found at five Georgia sites -- two in Dade, two in Walker County and one in Gilmer County -- during cave surveys in February and March 2013. More infected sites and counties were added during surveys in 2014. As of May 2016, white-nose is confirmed or suspected in 11 counties. It also has been confirmed in four border states: Tennessee, Alabama and North and South Carolina.
Georgia has few known large winter hibernacula. But, 16 species of bats are found in the state, including all but one of the species affected so far by WNS (see below).
There have been no reported affects on humans or other wildlife. However, authorities urge taking precautions and not exposing yourself unnecessarily to WNS. Scientists use protective clothing when entering caves or handling bats.
According to the Fish and Wildlife Service, white-nose may be associated with some or all of the following unusual bat behaviors:
Hibernating bats may have white fungus that is not associated with WNS. If a bat with fungus is not in an affected area and has no other signs of WNS, it may not have white-nose.
Georgia's Wildlife Resources Division has stepped up surveys to better assess bat populations, and limited scientific activities in caves. Researchers are also monitoring summer roost sites, which does not require entering caves, and working with other states and federal agencies.
The division has urged cavers and others to reduce trips to Georgia caves and follow national protocol for disinfecting clothes and gear. Wildlife Resources considered some closures – as advised by the Fish and Wildlife Service for WNS-affected and adjacent states – but chose voluntary limits after weighing research, the resource and public interests. This course of action will be reviewed and revised as needed.
Wildlife Resources has sought cavers' help in spreading the word about white-nose and monitoring and evaluating caves on state lands. About 15 percent of Georgia's caves are on state-managed lands.
The division has a WNS response plan. Designed to be simple and flexible, the plan outlines steps for raising awareness about the syndrome, preventing or slowing its spread, reporting and analyzing bats, and managing related natural resources such as caves. The document can help guide everyone from cavers cleaning their equipment to researchers scoring bat wing damage and animal control companies removing bats from a building.
An extensive network of state and federal agencies, universities, caving grottos and private individuals are working to investigate the source, spread and cause of bat deaths associated with WNS, and to develop management strategies to minimize the impacts. The overall investigation has three primary focus areas: research, monitoring and management, and outreach.
Research topics vary from possible control measures to decontamination protocols, infection trials and sampling to determine how widespread the fungus is in the soil.
In addition, the U.S. Forest Service closed most caves and mines on Southeastern national forests in June 2009. Groups such as the Southeastern Cave Conservancy that own caves have closed or added permit requirements for some caves.
In Georgia, contact the Wildlife Resources Division at email@example.com or (770) 918-6411.
It is important to determine the species of bat in case it is a federally protected species. If possible, photograph the potentially affected bats (including close-up shots) and send the photograph and a report to the Wildlife Resources Division.
State wildlife agencies that are members of the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study can submit bats to SCWDS for clinical diagnosis using the form available at University of Georgia's Diagnostic Laboratory.
If you need to dispose of a dead bat found on your property, pick it up with a plastic bag over your hand or use disposable gloves. Place the bat and the bag into another plastic bag, spray with disinfectant, close the bag securely, and dispose of it with your garbage. Thoroughly wash your hands and any clothing that comes into contact with the bat.
If you see a band on the wing or a small device with an antenna on the back of a bat (living or dead), contact the DNR Wildlife Resources Division (770-918-6411) or the nearest U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office (the Southeast Region office is in Atlanta, 404-679-4000; www.fws.gov/southeast).
These band and transmitters are tools for biologists to identify individual bats.
Georgia DNR encourages cavers to reduce their trips to caves on state-managed lands and follow U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service protocol for disinfecting clothes and gear. Cavers are asked to help spread the word about white-nose, and aid the Wildlife Resources Division in monitoring and evaluating caves on state lands.
The division encourages cavers to observe cave closures and related advisories involving other properties.
Cavers and cave visitors are also urged to stay out of caves in affected and in adjoining states to help slow the potential spread of WNS. Local and national cave groups have also posted information and cave advisories on their websites.
Species affected so far include the tri-colored bat (Perymyotis subflavus), little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), Southeastern myotis (Myotis austroriparius), small-footed myotis (Myotis leibii), cave myotis (Myotis velifer), and the federally endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) and gray bat (Myotis grisescens).
All except the cave myotis are found in Georgia. The small-footed myotis is a state species of concern.
By Fish and Wildlife Service estimates, more than 6 million bats have died from WNS, and there seems to be no end in sight. Bat mortality rates of 90-100 percent have been reported at some hibernacula. There may be differences in mortality by site and by species within sites. The overall decline in bats counted during surveys at 10 Georgia sites monitored since at least 2013 is 92 percent.
The endangered Indiana bat hibernates in many affected sites. Scientists are closely monitoring Indiana bat populations in many hibernacula and, to the extent possible, in their summer maternity colonies.
The impact is unknown. But, bats play a critical role in the health of natural habitats: They are the major predator of night-flying insects, eating on average half their weight in insects in a night, including agricultural pests. (One analysis estimated that the pest-control services provided by insect-eating bats save the U.S. agricultural industry at least $3 billion a year.) Bats also provide nutrients vital to some cave habitats.
In the tropics, bats that eat fruit and nectar help pollinate plants and disperse seeds.
Many bat populations are already in decline because of habitat loss. Their ability to rebound is limited by reproduction rates as low as one offspring a year.

I think Rob and Kristen make a great couple and need to be just left alone by everyone so that they can sit down and talk to see if they can work things out on thier own. Rob needs a chance to find out if Kristen is truly sorry for her cheating and he needs to see if he can forgive her and try to get past it so that they can be happy again. But Rob also needs to know that it will never happen again. It will take him some time to be able to trust her like that again, but in time he will, they just need time so that wounds can heal. So please everyone leave them alone unless you are on both of thier sides. I am a big fan of the Twilight Saga's, I have all the books and movies. Waiting for the new book to come out on Oct. 2. 2012 and then Breaking Dawn Pt. 2 on November 16, 2012. Then when the DVD comes out I will be at the store to by it.

LOL – such hipocrites! I believe they really do love each other being in a relationship for four years. She is young and made a mistake – it's called "Human"! No one knows why she did this – there is always a reason. The hypocrisy is that everyone has most likely done the same in their lifetime, and yet they treat Kristen as if she is worth nothing. Most people cheat terribly when they are a couple or married! Especially in Hollywood. Everyone should leave them alone and let them find their own way. I hope they do reconcile and get back together and go on. Their relationship is no one's business. Shame on all these hypocrites who keep "downing" Kristen Stewart. Open your closet door and take a look at all the "skeletons" in your closet. Robert Pattinson is a really special person who knows how to keep his personal life to himself and not the media. How about some words on "Rupert Sanders" – he got off easy! By the way, I understand that Kristen Stewart will not be in the "Snow White and the Huntsman, Sequel 2" – If that is true, I won't be waiting for that sequel to come out. She is the reason I saw the first one. Good luck Rob and Kristen – I wish the best for both of you!

Hes a very handsome young man with too many great opportunies ahead of him to be pondering over one girl, hes hurt right now and he will get over it and probably wont have any problems (hes fine) reminds
me of James Dean. Finding another lady. He should just focus on his career and let her remember what she just lost.

I think he was with kristen just because they PERFECT relationship were give him more fame,But now since she become a media target,and she will drag him down if he stayed with her.its not about love he is sad about, but only about the bad rep.FIND Someone who really loves you kristen,who may be apple to take his arms around you and keep you safe from anything, even when you make mistakes,that would be real love.

Are you kidding? The person Whoi is Wronged here is Robert! If he doesn't want to take a cheating lying girlfriend back he is in his right to do that! WTH you defend the wrongdoer by saying he just wanted fame from her? Both got famous together ans She decided to end it the moment she got involved with a married man! Seems your used to doing the same and expect forgiveness!

Thank you. Thought I was the only one that remembered he cheated on her prior. And also that is who he ran to when this whole thing started. Give me a break. You are both right it is all about increasing air time for his rise in stardom. Kristen is not the villian she is played out to be. They are both in the media because of who they are.

text: I have not tried the Advantage Arms conversion, but the JAC is incredible! JAC (Jonathan Arthur Ciener sp?) have built a number of conversions, I have tried the Beretta, the Glock 17/22, conversion, and the Mini-14, all worked very well, and you can get "hi-cap" magazines. I think they run about $200 for the whole deal. Good luck.

Thank you for helping make our site better.

This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, KENMORE®, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
replaced old water fill tube for ice maker because it would clog with frozen water which would result in leaking from back of refrigerator where water line for ice maker entered refrigerator. Parts arrived faster than anticipated from parts select. New part was made differently (up-graded) so that water would not freeze. removed old fill tube and replaced with new. replaced water tubing and secured. leak is no longer present and I do not anticipate further issues from this problem.

How to Help Government Clients Manage Identities

Ajay Jain September 8, 2013
Much of physical security operation revolves around the basic concept of making sure no individual in a facility or on a campus is ever where they are not supposed to be. For many organizations, this is mission-critical with little to no margin for error. For example, in government facilities controlling physical access is largely a homeland security issue, while for private access businesses it can be the difference between financial success and failure.
In either case, the core objective is to protect people, property and assets — none of which can be accomplished without stringent identity management processes in place. With concerns of vandalism or workplace violence, intellectual property theft, liability and other security issues rising in frequency, the need to control and manage identities is the first line of defense for any organization.
To address the matter, the focus on physical access control systems (PACS) has shifted beyond basics such as card readers or turnstiles to IT-based physical identity and access management (PIAM). These systems deliver far more advanced functionality that encompasses ongoing knowledge and authentication of every identity who may be present in a facility or on a campus, based on their current access privileges in real-time.
Related Article: Firing Up Your Federal Government Business
This can be a vast undertaking, particularly in organizations with multiple locations, hundreds of employees, or a heavy concentration of vendors, contractors, and personnel with very specific, limited and variable access privileges. What makes this immense organization, verification and ongoing updating possible is the convergence of physical security and the IT world, and the ability to automate PIAM systems via software.
Automating PIAM systems makes it possible for an organization to set rules, controls and policies that are maintained and updated instantly, and to onboard every identity and maintain correct authorization and provisioning for every identity in real-time. The software that can accomplish this monumental task utilizes PACS virtualization — whereby the software finds and connects devices and controllers with identity databases/networks, and virtualizes all required functions like switching and routing as PACS.
Every device and system, and every identity database and watch list — no matter the vendor, brand, source or protocol used — becomes another set of data points for the overall PIAM solution to incorporate. What is important is that now all these formerly disparate products and systems can be polled, programmed and controlled via a single platform. It's the most efficient means of integrating an enterprise-level PIAM solution across any size organization despite the location and number of facilities it entails.
Ultimately, this total control of PIAM enables the user to create a virtual firewall around and within the organization — making it possible to address the most basic (and most important) of all security concerns: ensuring that no individual is ever where they are not supposed to be.

A native of Brisbane, Australia, singer/songwriter Shane Nicholson first gained public attention as the lead-singer/guitarist for the rock band Pretty Violet Stain. Interested in music from a young age, Nicholson formed the band while in high school and eventually they released their debut album Parachutes and Gravity on Warner in 2000. Ultimately, Nicholson parted ways with the band and released his debut solo album It's a Movie on Virt in 2003. The album also featured a duet with Australian country star Kasey Chambers, whom Nicholson eventually married. His sophomore effort, Faith and Science, followed in 2006. Two years later, Nicholson paired with Chambers for the album Rattlin' Bones. Also in 2008, he released his third solo album, Familiar Ghosts. The concert album Live at the Sydney Opera House appeared a year later. In 2011, Nicholson returned with the studio album Bad Machines which ultimately earned him an ARIA Country Album of the Year nomination and 6 CMAA Country Music Awards of Australia Nominations. In 2012, Nicholson and Chambers released their second album as a duo with Wreck & Ruin featuring the single, "Adam & Eve". ~ Matt Collar

The horror film regional drive-ins and arthouse cinemas have been dreading for the past five years would be best titled The Reckoning. In it, a shadowy cabal of film distributors and studios announce that they will cease distributing bulky, analog, 35-millimeter film prints at some vague but impending point in time. With as little as a few days' notice, prints fail to show up at a theater's doorstep, forcing schedule changes, audience dissatisfaction, and a palpable hit to the weekend's expected business. The only way out of the impasse is to pony up, at minimum, $50,000 to upgrade to a digital projection system.
"It's been an absolute nightmare," says Ry Russell, manager of the Saco Drive-In, of a tense summer. "Typically what we've been able to do was submit a request for what the movies were that we wanted to play, and three days before they showed up at the door. This year we were putting in requests months in advance, and two to three days before, nothing shows up. They just release such a small quantity of each movie on film, and they'd send them to the theaters where they'd make the most money."
Russell's experience booking summer tentpoles was similar to that of arthouse proprietor Barry Norman, who runs the great Eveningstar Cinema in Brunswick. "As 35mm is being eliminated by the end of this year, it was getting harder to get film prints as distributors, especially the smaller ones, made less and less prints. Often, I couldn't get a print due to the reduction in the number made and where Brunswick, Maine would be on the ladder," he says.
Both theaters have had to deal with undesirable circumstances over the past year, being forced to hold over certain films regardless of their popularity. As Russell put it, "Honestly, what we ended up doing was picking crappier movies . . . We literally had to pick up junk movies in order to get that turn that we wanted. Getting a junk movie was probably 2.5 percent better than playing a movie we already played."
The good news is that, for most Maine arthouses and drive-ins, this scary movie seems to be ending well: the Saco Drive-In was the only theater in New England to win a Honda-sponsored contest to provide drive-ins with free digital upgrades; in the immediate area, only Westbrook's Prides Corner Drive-In has yet to announce concrete plans for a digital upgrade, and owner Andrew Tevanian will be seeking a bank loan to assist the transition. In April, the Eveningstar borrowed money to pay a reported $55,000 for a digital projection system; just last month Russell finished raising $46,000 in a crowdfunding campaign to help cover that debt.

text: Greetings ! Just got me a new sig 556 pistol with quad rail. I wonder if anyone can shed some light as to the legality of attaching an AFG vs a vertical foregrip on the forward railing of the pistol. I don't have any plans of SBRing the pistol right now but somebody mentioned that I can still attach an AFG (angled foregrip) on pistol and still not be considered it being an AOW ( ANY OTHER WEAPON) as compared to attaching a vertical foregrip which would definitely make it one.(AOW). It came with a red dot optic, found a good single point sling for better control of the pistol and attached a TLR 3S with light/strobe and red laser for ease of target shooting. Currently using 20 rd pmags on it .I also have 30 rd pmags but I prefer 20 rounders on this pistol, makes it look more tacticool in my opinion. Appreciate your input regarding the confusion with attaching an AFG vs VFG . It's a blast to shoot without any FTF,FTE...flawless.

Samsung finally unveiled the Samsung Galaxy SIII in their Unpacked event at London's Earl's Court last night. So for those of you missed the launch, here's an overview of what the new Galaxy offers.
It only measures 8.6mm thick and weighs only 133 grams. It has a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED (1280×720) Pentile (no Plus) display, Exynos 4 Quad processor @ 1.4Ghz for HSPA version, and 1GB of RAM. An 8MP autofocus rear camera with flash, Zero Lag Shutter and BSI Image sensor while the front camera is 1.9 MP HD with flash and also features the Zero Lag Shutter. Offers full HD 1080p Recording and Playback for videos, comes in 16GB/32GB/64GB plus a microSD expansion, 2,100mAh battery, GPS with GLONASS, 802.11n Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth 4, 21Mbps HSPA, LTE supported, runs on Android ICS, and accommodates micro SIM.
S Voice – this is the Siri-like feature of the device. But the difference is, to activate it, even if your phone is locked, all you have to do is speak to the phone. You can even customize the trigger greeting so it's literally hands free. You can also use your voice to tell the Galaxy SIII to do other stuff like turn off the alarm, reject or answer a call, or tell the camera to take a photo. It listens to what you're saying and does what you tell it to do.
Direct Call – this feature lets you directly call the person you want to talk to. When you're typing a message and you suddenly realize it would be easier to just talk to the person, you don't have to exit the message to make a call, just place the phone on your ear and it automatically calls the person you're composing a message to, without pressing any buttons.
Social Tag – this feature automatically tags the people you know to their social network account. So if you look at the photos in your album, it tells you what your friends or family are up to as it gives you feeds from their social account. Yeah, that's a bit creepy, kind of like the perfect tool for stalkers.
Smart Alert – this feature alerts you if you have missed calls or missed messages as the moment you pick your phone up with some good vibrations.
Smart Stay – this feature utilizes the eye tracking technology. With the use of the front camera, the phone knows whether you are looking at it, so it knows to keep the screen alive. So the phone doesn't go on standby or lock when you're reading something or looking at a photo for a long time. But, it also sleeps when you sleep, saving your battery juice.
S Beam – this feature utilizes NFC technology and WiFi Direct which allows for very fast sharing of files. All you have to do is select the file you want to share, like a photo or video, then place another Galaxy SIII on the back of it, so the two devices are back-to-back with each other and voila! The file is transferred.
AllShare Play – using WiFi Direct and DLNA, you can share the content of your device to a tablet, computer, laptop or any other connected device.
Buddy Photo Share – it recognizes the faces on your photos and with one touch, you can share the photo immediately to your friends on the photo as the phone sends it to your friends.
AllShare Cast – this allows you to stream a video or game on to a big screen so everyone can see it. And the great thing about this is that if you use this for gaming, your phone becomes the game controller.
Pop up play – when you're watching a video and you want to send a message or you received a message, you don't have to stop the video from playing, you just resize the video and drag it to the part of the screen that won't interfere with your typing. Then when you're done texting, just tap on the video to make it larger again.
Best photo – the front and rear cameras feature Zero Lag shutter so when you click on it, it takes a photo immediately. Plus, it takes a burst of eight photos and recommends the best among the eight photos so you will never be caught with your eyes closed.
Release date
At the Samsung event last night, they announced that the Galaxy SIII will be commercially available on May 29 in Europe, then Asia, and will be available in the US by June. The price hasn't been announced yet but it is expected to cost somewhere between $199-$299 with a two-year contract or about $700 without a contract.
Early reactions
Now that we've tackled the specifications and features of the Samsung Galaxy SIII, let's look at what critics have to say about the device.
Nomura Securities via the Wall Street Journal
Yes, it's much improved from the Galaxy S II. Yet it's not amazing enough to meet the market's expectations; nor did it come with substantial differentiating factors. Our first impression was that it is 'Great, but not a big surprise.'
GOOD: In our view, 10% of smartphone usage is for voice, while 90% is for viewing; hence, we believe large screens will be a continuing trend in the smartphone industry. (the Galaxy S III has a 4.8 inch screen, compared with the iPhone 4S' 3.5-inch screen)
BAD: Although the new phone comes with several new features, few of them can be regarded as key differentiating factors, or revolutionary, in our view.
Yes, it seems like the trend in smartphone design is "larger screen = better". This isn't really bad, since you don't have worry about your fingers getting in the way of typing. But as awesome as the features of the S3 are, consumers will never be truly satisfied. Plus, even if the Apple iPhone 5 is still a rumor, everyone's already comparing it to the Galaxy SIII.
"While the Galaxy S3 will be highly desirable for enthusiastic and advanced users, Samsung will have to build on the already popular Galaxy brand and push it hard to various distribution channels before the iPhone 5 is launched," said Malik Saadi, an industry analyst at Informa Telecoms & Media.
Though the iPhone 5 is still a rumor, Samsung can't be complacent–they must push the Galaxy SIII and take advantage of the head start. They should market this phone like crazy in order to sell them before the mythical iPhone 5 gets released.
"Samsung must make the most of a 4-5 month window of opportunity with the Galaxy SIII before Apple changes the game once more with its next generation iPhone," said Geoff Blaber, analyst at CCS Insight.

Telematics Update Fleet & Asset Management report
February 21, 2012 by John Day
Filed under News, Company News, Industry News
To identify fleet managers' specifications in running a cost efficient fleet, Telematics Update has just released the Fleet & Asset Management Report.
With rising fuel costs fleet managers are looking for best practice strategies to minimize costs, and telematics vendors are the key to providing this critical technology.
"We know that people are really interested to find better ways to solve problems," said Cindi Brandt, Vice President of Marketing at Mobile Cast. "The biggest trends that we see in our core markets are: 'how do I control more of my fuel spend, how do I really understand how drivers are driving the vehicles and what's the corresponding cost relative to how they're driving'?

I've toyed around with the idea of commissioning a Boba Fett inspired lightsaber hilt and think I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on it. It would mostly be a display piece, but who knows maybe you'll see it out and about in costume. I was thinking of a sleek Old Republic-esque design rather than the bulky kind Luke had in ROTJ. I pictured a saber taken as payment for a bounty or off a bounty himself that Boba repurposed as a tool for himself. I wanted something that wouldn't look out of place dangling from a Fett belt; so obviously some combination of red, green, black, and silver. I also thought it would be really cool to have accent lights reminiscent of the chest armor lights.
Anyway, those are my thoughts. I'm curious about what the rest of TDH thinks before I actually start working a design and writing a check. Below are two of the saber smiths I was looking at for reference.
Genesis Custom Sabers
I look forward to hearing what you all think!

Reviews for Homemade Chicken Cordon Bleu
"everyone loved it"
"My family Loved this chicken."
"I had the butcher flatten my chicken breasts for me (he offered and I was very grateful! HA!) However, it seems to me that the chicken breasts have to be very thin as they were difficult to roll. I also would cook them longer next time. I added more spices to my breading and it was enjoyable. The flavor was great, just messy and difficult execution of rolling it all to get it to stay rolled without it sliding out before I got the toothpicks stuck in."
"This is very easy. Have tried my different recipes over the years, but this is the one--very simple and straightforward and tasty. There is only 2 of us, but would be very easy to double (or more) the recipe. Found it when looking for uses to use up Gruyere. Yum."

Cute kids
Trip Start Jun 16, 2005
46Trip End Aug 2006
Hope you all are doing well, especially you students mid-term!
Things have been going smoothly here. Most of the kids had their grade-level exams last week, and haven't heard yet how they did. I'll let you know!
Mom sent some play food and kitchen stuff last week, and so Jennifer and I went to a huge toystore here, Universal, to get a play kitchen. The only one they had that could withstand all those kids was a Little Tikes tea party kitchen, which is all pink, but it doesn't seem to matter. The boys are into it, too, and they've been playing restaurant and house. I'm doing my best to figure out ways to provoke imaginative play
I've been having to kick kids out pretty regularly, and usually the same ones - and usually for fighting. I even had to kick one out for giving his brother a bloody lip yesterday -- in front of me! -- and they hadn't even been fighting beforehand. The thing is, they don't have to be there, so I can't really make them do any sort of punishment. But, they don't have to be there, so I can kick them out. I hate having that be it, but it's not like being in a regular school where I can give them more work. Oh, well.
I don't really have much else to say, though I've finally (at least mostly) gotten back to normal after the robbery. Hey, it's how it is when you have to deal with this stuff overseas!
Enjoy the pictures and videos -- I took some today of a very nice afternoon class.

Skillz Sept 06 Winning Entry - Technical
Aaron Hertz
Here's my answers for the September 2006 Skillz Challenge:
1) "Thing One" is dd, the file-manipulation swiss-army knife and fine companion of...
2) "Thing Two", nc, the all purpose network swiss army knife.
3) On horton.whoville.com, we run the command:
dd if=TPSDATA090106.zip skip=8227126 | nc -l -p 12345
This tells dd to output to read from our data file, skipping the first
8,227,126 512-byte blocks, and write to stdout. Next in the pipeline, nc will listen for a connection to port 12345, and then spew the rest of the file down to whatever client connects.
Then, to receive the file on lumbergh.initech.com, we run:
nc horton.whoville.com 12345 >> TPSDATA090106.zip
This will connect to the listener we just created, and write the data it receives to the end of the data file.
(Of course, if we want to be really cute, and we're running a modern version of bash or ksh, we can do:
cat /dev/tcp/horton.whoville.com/12345 >> TPSDATA090106.zip
But, that would just be silly. )
This way we only transfer the missing piece of the file over the slow wireless link, minimizing the amount of data we transfer. Why create the listener on horton.whoville.com? Well, if the upstairs office has an open WAP, it's likely a cheap residential wireless router. So, it's likely that we won't be able to get a TCP connection into lumbergh.initech.com. Plus, we don't even know what our outside IP address is, and this way we don't have to bother to find out.
This does assume that the firewall in front of horton.whoville.com will allow connections to TCP port 12345. If it doesn't, we can send our connection through an SSH tunnel. When we connect from lumbergh to horton, we'd do something like:
ssh -L 12345:horton.whoville.com:12345 horton.whoville.com
We'd then run the same command on horton, but our command on lumbergh would then be:
nc localhost 12345 >> TPSDATA090106.zip
That way, the only incoming connection to horton.whoville.com is over port 22, which we know is allowed.
4) The most straightforward solution is to adjust the block size used by dd. We'd change the command on horton to be:
dd bs=1 if=TPSDATA090106.zip skip=4212288525 | nc -l -p 12345
This will, though, be more inefficient. We'll be reading only one byte at a time from the file. But, at least Nagle's algorithm will ensure that we don't send one-byte packets, which would be _horribly_ inefficient.
A more efficient way is to use tail. The command:
tail -c +13 -
will skip the first 13 bytes of stdin, and print the rest. That's exactly what we want. So, our command on horton becomes:
dd if=TPSDATA090106.zip skip=8227126 | tail -c +13 - | nc -l -p 12345
- -----
This was a really fun challenge - and your Seussian poetry is brilliant. I look forward to next month.
CISSP, MCSE, CSTA, Security+ SME

The second opera performed in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera. Its the one in which Christine is cast as the Countess by Erik's command, but then Andre and Firmin, the new managers, decide to cast Carlotta as the countess instead.
Erik: "In the new production of Il Muto you will therefore cast Carlotta as the pageboy and put Miss Daae in the role of countess.The role which miss Daae plays calls for charm and appeal. The role of the pageboy is silent which makes my casting, in a word, ideal!"

Rescue crews are on the scene after a powerful twister swept through Moore, Oklahoma, on Monday
Search and rescue crews continued to look for survivors Tuesday morning in the rubble left behind by a monstrous tornado that swept through Moore, Oklahoma. On Monday afternoon, the half-mile wide twister flattened homes and buildings, crumpled cars, and stripped leaves off trees throughout the suburban town near Oklahoma City. Of its population of 41,000 people, at least 24 were killed, including several children. More than 120 people were being treated at hospitals.
"As long as we are here … we are going to hold out hope that we will find survivors," Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Betsy Randolph told the Associated Press.
President Barack Obama declared the area a major disaster. He ordered federal aid for state and local recovery efforts. Moore "needs to get everything it needs right away," Obama told reporters at the White House on Tuesday morning. "For all those who've been affected, we recognize that you face a long road ahead."
Powerful Twister
The National Weather Service reports that Monday's tornado was a category 4— the second-most powerful type of twister—on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale. Its winds reached speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. As it approached Moore, sirens blared to warn residents to take shelter. The tornado cut a path through the center of town before moving on. Moore resident Betty Snider told the Associated Press that it was "the loudest roar I've ever heard in my life."
The tornado destroyed many of Moore's major buildings, including two elementary schools. Most of the students were unharmed. Rescuers pulled many children safely from the debris and reunited them with their parents. Injured students were taken to local hospitals. The Moore Medical Center was also damaged by the tornado. Patients there were transferred to other hospitals.
An Unpredictable Tornado Season
Monday's twister came one day after a string of tornadoes were reported in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. They were part of a massive storm system stretching throughout the Great Plains and the Midwest. More stormy weather, with possible isolated tornadoes, is forecasted for Tuesday in parts of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. The Moore area is not considered at risk.
In the U.S., tornado season typically occurs from April to July. This year, the central U.S. had been experiencing a relatively quiet tornado season until May 15, when an outbreak of 10 twisters struck North-Central Texas. The tornadoes killed six people and injured dozens more.
Tornadoes usually form during giant thunderstorms called supercells. Many tornadoes are black or brown from the dust and dirt they suck up as they move across the land. During a tornado, the National Weather Service advises people to take shelter in a storm cellar, a basement, or the innermost room on the lowest level of a building.
In Moore, Mayor Glenn Lewis told the Associated Press that the town is already working on recovery and cleanup. Lewis was also mayor during a powerful tornado with 300 mile per hour winds that slammed the town in May 1999. "It took 61 days to clean up after the 1999 tornado," he said. "We had a lot of help then. We've got a lot of help now."

text: Ok. I now have 2 issues that I could do without fixing, but let's see if it's an easy fix. #1: Memory seats. I noticed that my seats don't go back to the memory position when you put the key in. Every other GM truck & SUV i've been in that has the 2 user memory seating returns to whichever position is on the numbered key fob. Mine does not. Ideas? #2: When I turn on the backup (curb view) mirror function, the mirrors go up just a little bit when I put the truck in reverse, instead of going down like they should. Ideas on this? The power seats & mirrors will go to programmed positions if you hit the # 1 or 2 buttons in park. So as far as that goes, it all works properly, just have to actually push the button to switch. Thanks all, Greg. ---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ---------- Ok, so apparently GM discontinued the memory seat 'recall' feature in the 2005 model year (even though they still used the numbered remote fobs). So I guess the new question for that would be is there an update for that? I know Cadillac made an update back in '05, but does anyone know if Chevy has yet or @ all?

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by kirkjrk, Jan 3, 2013.
B+ in man C- in zone coverage
C average play, below average tackling, average coverage..About as average as they get. Not bad for a rookie. Better than Ball and some of the scrubs we had here before.
It would be interesting if we had his PFF completions against stats, I believe that they must be close to the bottom for starters. It's got to be one of the hardest rookie positions in the game, but I thought that he had a rough year regardless.
He didn't seem to have many mental lapses, which is admirable for a rookie, more concerning from my perspective though, was his lack of quickness. He was supposed to be a really gifted physical player, and I didn't see much evidence of that. I think that he played tentatively for the same reason an aging Newman did... he couldn't keep up with receivers.
Yeah or completions against? I saw a stat earlier in the year that was really bad, but he improved somewhat after that.
He's hit hard on short quick passes, but he had a pretty good season. B
Him and Carr are completely different in man coverage. Too bad they couldn't play it
cb has to be one of the hardest positions to play in the NFL. Give him another year or two before you grade him. I think he will be a pro bowler eventually.
Makes you wonder what the heck the front-office was thinking extending Sensabaugh last season and relying on unproven Barry Church as the starting safeties.
IMHO, they way over-invested in the CB position and because of it basically fielded what may have been the worst set of starting and backup safeties in the NFL.
Any surprise the pass defense ranking actually dropped form 2011 and was ranked as one of the worst in the NFL?
Yeah. They played alot of man the final game it looked good. If only we could of stopped the run.
He's going to how a nice career.
I'm not really sure how to grade a rookie.
As a "rookie"? B+ as a NFL CB? B-/C+
I'm also not sure I would have made that trade in hindsite either. He may end up being the 3-4th best CB in that draft, so burning a mid 1st and second rounder is rich.
But if he gives us 8-10 strong years, it was probably worth it.
did not like the trade up for a AVERAGE CB
we lost out on some good O linemen
what we needed
not band aids like Livings and Birdenow
i'll give him a "c". i expected more out of him but perhaps my expectations were just too high.
lol I was like lol
Teams hardly threw at him other than on short routes where its virtually impossible to attack the ball.
If Dallas can ever get quality safety play and keep Lee and Carter healthy to patrol the middle QBs will have to challenge our corners and we will see how good they really are. Claiborne will flourish if that ever happens.
That's not his game, never has been.
he did not tackle.
We must have read different scouting reports.
Everything I came across said this guy had amazing ball skills and was pretty much like a WR at DB.
I agree, I wouldn't give him an A because of it but a "B". Like most said He's a rookie. The one thing I like about him is that he kept going FOR the ball. If he was trying to bring his man down or coming in for a gang takle he always went for the ball.
Also Rob Ryans system take a lot of learn I think he shows how smart he is to pick it up and not have to many bad plays, all things said he can only get better.
For a rookie? Outstanding. A for coverage, probably a C for tackling.
Looks like he'll be something really special.
The guy played ALOT better then the previous best CB in the draft in his rookie yr (patrick peterson)
Grade B

Florida Adventure Tour
Visit the beautiful Homosassa State Wildlife State Park for snorkeling, swimming, and an exhilarating airboat ride. This award-winning park allows swimmers to interact with endangered Florida manatees, also known as gentle giants.
Start your day with a scrumptious breakfast before setting off on the gorgeous Crystal River, named for its clear blue waters. Choose between snorkeling and swimming in the refreshing river, where interaction with manatees will prove their nickname –gentle giants of the sea—as they lazily float about the springs.
If you prefer to relax, sit back on the tour boat and enjoy the natural surroundings—watch for manatees traversing the waterways with their babies, or check out birds nesting in nearby trees. Break for lunch at one of Florida's best kept secrets—Homosassa State Wildlife Park—where alligators, crocodiles, snakes, and turtles make their home. At the end of the day explore the nooks and crannies of the area on an exciting airboat ride across the waters of the famed Withlacoochee River.

<p>The Trio for Rio appeared in Brazilian Playboy four times before they made their way into ours. </p>
In November of 1993, Playboy broke international barriers in a big way. Tapping into a rapidly expanding brand presence abroad, we brought the best of Brazil back to America with the release of a never-before-seen photo set of the trio from Rio, the Porto Sisters.
Needless to say, our readers were impressed, and after convincing them that we were not being duplicitous (triplicitous?), not employing a little bit of camera magic but in fact photographing three of the most bodacious Brazilian beauties ever born (together), they were sold. And so were the magazines that November.
What follows is an excerpt from the issue along with the pictorial. To see what really caught our readers' eyes back in '93, sign up for iPlayboy today.
By birth order, the oldest of the triplets is Marilise, pronounced Mah-ree-LEEZE-ee but without too much emphasis on the final syllable. Whisper it as if you were barely getting a life-sustaining breath into The Girl from Ipanema. The middle sister is Lilian. Say more than Lih-LEE-ah, less than Lih-lee-ahn. Then comes Renata. Heh-NAH-tuh. The Brazilians are slouches at an initial "r." Hence, the city the sisters live in, assuming you're ready to go native, is HEE-oo, not what you've always called it, REE-oh.
Now forget which is which and who's on the left and who's on the right. This isn't trick photography. But makeup and photo artistry can't help but minimize the differences among the sisters, though the differences are real. Besides, the triplets themselves are not above a prank. Three distinct pictures of them appeared in one Brazilian magazine above responses to the question "Do you like guys shy or extroverted?" Lilian said extroverted; Marilise, shy; Renata voted with Lilian. "Actually," reveals Renata, "all three pictures are of Lilian."
And so the triplets play trickster once again. Marilise, Lilian and Renata Porto were born, at ten-minute intervals, on March 1, 1974, in the south Brazilian town of Tucunduva in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The triplets have been famous for about three years as models for Onyx Jeans, Neutrox shampoo and Azaleia sandals. But they have also appeared four times in one year in Playboy Brazil. That is why if you mention triplets anywhere in Brazil, from Iguaçu on the border with Argentina and Paraguay to the faraway Amazon, the response will be either "Ah, the gauchas" (the female counterparts to gauchos) or "Oh, the Playboy triplets." When they worked at a trade show recently in São Paulo, they signed 9000 autographs. And while a handful of pop-music superstars, a couple of Brazilian TV personalities and Pelé, the retired soccer great, are more famous than the trio from Rio, this is about where the triplets fit in: Roughly speaking, they're the 16th, 17th and 18th most famous people in the world's fifth most populous country. That doesn't mean that people know each of them by name. They're just known. Universally. As the triplets…
