I might show Sunday for the Thriller dance!
Just came from Dragon*Con. Sorry I missed this thread, but it was great to see a handful of our TDH brotherhood there. If you did see me and I saw you.....SO GLAD TO SEE YOU THERE. I still miss the TDH fan table at the con.
Just got back and it was a blast! Got to meet a member to two, I hope everyone had a great time and a safe trip home!
It was great getting to see some of you at DC. Here is a link to the photos I was able to snag, try to ignore the difficulty I was having with my belt riding a little low :P
I was there, here's my pics...

The Pick Up: Be Good in Bed the First Time
Whether you're looking for a friend with benefits or a long-term relationship, you have to show her a good time in bed if you want to see her again.
You got the hot girl at the party. Your friends all think you're The Man as you say your goodbyes before taking her home. The night is about to get passionate.
But you didn't do all this work just to hook up with her once, did you? Whether you're looking for a friend with benefits or a long-term relationship, you have to show her a good time in bed if you want to see her again.
Women don't necessarily need you to be a walking Kama Sutra, but they do want to feel that the two of you are sexually compatible and that at the very least things in bed aren't awkward. Women avoid potentially awkward situations much more than men.
In other words, it doesn't hurt to be amazing in bed. In fact, some top Love Systems coaches partnered with actual top male porn stars to produce a video series that will let you perform like Casanova (check it out here). But it's not absolutely necessary. What is necessary is to avoid the biggest mistakes most men make in bed the first time. Use these tips to make sure she's dying to see you again.
- Keep her in the moment
Most of the time, she knows what's on the agenda when she goes home with you, and she wants sex to happen just as much as you do. But most women want to feel seduced, which means the journey needs to be smooth, not awkward, and like sex "just happened."
The key here to avoid "state breaks" where she is taken out of the moment. For example, don't start making out with her in the kitchen if you're going to need to take her into the bedroom eventually. The "let's go into the bedroom" moment is awkward and triggers her logical brain to think of the 100,000 reasons why she shouldn't be having sex right now.
Similarly, put the condom on when she's happily distracted. I keep one in my pants pocket, always make sure that my pants don't get thrown across the room and slip one on when I'm going down on her. When you're giving oral and she's lying on her back, eventually she'll pull you up so that the two of you are face-to-face. Your condom-clad friend will be in exactly the right position.
- Understand her coded messages
It's not an accident when women start and stop moaning, or get louder and quieter. When you change what you're doing or how hard or fast you're doing it, listen closely. If she gives you a moan or her volume increases, she likes it. If not, change it up.
Here's where a lot of guys go wrong: a moan does not necessarily mean go harder or faster. It could mean that, but just as often (especially if you're using your hands or mouth) it means she likes exactly what you're doing and she doesn't want you to change it.
- Damage control: What if you finish too quickly?
Relax. It happens to every man every once in a while. It's not a big deal if she knows there's more to come. Say something like, "Damn, you got me so turned on you took me by surprise there. Give me a few minutes and you'll be in real trouble," and then keep her aroused by kissing her neck, breasts and so on until you're ready again.
The second time around you'll naturally last longer anyway. Done right, she'll take it as a compliment that she made you finish unexpectedly quickly and got you interested in a second round.
Good luck! If you enjoy yourself, compliment her after and follow these simple rules, she should be dying to see you again.

Representatives from two-year colleges across the state will be on the PTC campus today to attend a workshop on campus crisis preparedness.
The workshop, sponsored by the Arkansas Association of Two-Year Colleges, will be taking place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Pulaski Technical College Campus Center. Sessions will be taught by the School Violence Resource Center at the University of Arkansas System Criminal Justice Institute.
About 75 college administrators, including representatives from most of the state's 22 two-year colleges are scheduled to attend.
"The Arkansas Association of Two-Year Colleges recognizes the importance of crisis preparedness and being able to deal with crises of all types," said Dr. Ed Franklin, executive director of the AATYC. "We are fortunate in Arkansas to have the Criminal Justice Institute with expertise in dealing with all types of crisis management."
Educators will discuss designing a campus crisis plan, conducting a campus risk assessment, preventing crime through environmental design, and other topics.
"We are happy that Pulaski Technical College is able to host this event," said Dr. Dan. F. Bakke, college president. "It is important that all colleges be as prepared as possible so that we can ensure the safety of our students and campus community."

MoDOT prepping drivers for new diverging diamond interchange
Interchange at Stadium Boulevard and I-70 set to open by Nov. 15
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Transportation is preparing drivers for the new diverging diamond interchange by releasing an informational video.
The new interchange, located at Stadium Boulevard and I-70 in Columbia, is set to open by Nov. 15.
The video, created by MoDOT and the City of Columbia, will help drivers understand how the new interchange will work.
"The video helps drivers visualize how the interchange works and why it's a better, faster and safer option at this location," said MoDOT area engineer Mike Schupp. "We hope drivers will watch the video and familiarize themselves with this project so they'll be ready to navigate the interchange when it opens."
The $12.8 million project will install the diverging diamond interchange, as well as widen Stadium Blvd. and Bernadette Drive. The project is on schedule to be completed by the winter of 2014.MoDOT Diamond Interchange Video

The All Blacks take jetlag seriously and their search for ways to combat its effects led them to a solution developed by university researchers.
The product developed with the company Flyhidrate consists of three different coloured drinks, designed to be consumed at different stages of a long-haul flight.
The drinks were first used by the All Blacks during this year's Rugby Championship and again on their trip to Scotland ahead of their northern hemisphere tour.
University of Otago physical education senior lecturer Dr Jim Cotter, who worked on the product with a team of researchers from the School of Physical Education and the Food Science Department, said it felt good the product they helped create was being used by the All Blacks.
He said they agreed to take part in the project in early 2010 and developed, tested and refined the drink over 18 months, from June 2010 to December last year. It first went on the market this year.
Dr Cotter said in developing the drinks the team applied some of the work they had done on hydration solutions for athletes competing in the heat to long-haul flying.
Keeping hydrated throughout a flight resulted in less fatigue at the destination and helped the body get used to new time zones quicker, he said.
While not created specifically for sports people, the amount of travel they did meant many could take advantage of it.
"If it can do something that makes them feel better with their travel and make them feel a bit better at the other end, then that's great."
However, he was keen to point out it was not a "magic bullet" for combating jetlag.
"There is no substitute for common sense when you are flying in terms of good fluid consumption, keeping moving, and not drinking too much alcohol."
The drinks are available at Auckland Airport as well as some others in Australia.

Attacks on the Press 2007: Philippines
Supreme Court Chief Justice Reynato S. Puno told a visiting CPJ delegation in July that he would personally seek justice for the unsolved killings of journalists and use his judicial authority to better protect press freedom. "The fact that the killings remain unsolved heightens public distrust in our system of justice," Puno told CPJ. The senior judge was fresh off a national summit that he had convened to examine a rash of extrajudicial killings committed nationwide in recent years.

and Kelsi Arvin
UTSA students win national study-abroad scholarships
By Holly Hill
Assistant Director of Study Abroad and Exchanges
(June 18, 2007)--Three UTSA students will undertake the adventure of a lifetime as they study abroad during the fall 2007 semester, thanks to financial help from the Gilman International Scholarship Program. Three UTSA students, Kelsi Arvin, George Cahlik and Christina Hatch, were awarded the prestigious national scholarship.

Kelsi Arvin is a San Antonio native majoring in political science. In her first travels outside of the United States, she will study Arabic at Al-Akhawayn University in Morocco. She was awarded a $5,000 Gilman international scholarship.
"I am very excited about my opportunity to study abroad in Ifrane, Morocco. because it will offer the chance for language immersion and I will be introduced to a new culture and meet many new people," said Arvin.
George Cahlik, a senior from Corpus Christi, Texas, first went to Russia last summer in a UTSA faculty-led study abroad program. He decided to study abroad for longer periods of time in order to further improve his language skills. He was awarded $3,500 to study Russian language and economics during the fall semester.
"I hope to improve on my fluency in Russian as well as learn economics and political science from a Russian point of view. I think that by spending time there, it will give me better insight on our country's relationship with Russia, which would give me an advantage in my pursuit of a career in the Department of State as a foreign service officer," said Cahlik.
Christina Hatch, a senior from Livingston, Texas, will study abroad for the second time this fall. Her first study-abroad experience to Mexico was last summer. This time around, she will explore Argentina and Spain. Hatch was awarded $3,500 for her program in Argentina for the fall semester.
When asked why she wanted to study abroad, Hatch said, "Traveling is definitely my passion. I chose to study abroad because I am a foreign-language major and I feel that a year, at a minimum, of immersion is the only way I'm going to fully master my Spanish, and hopefully improve my French. Also, I am fascinated with international travel and foreign cultures. Study abroad allows me to experience both while receiving credits at UTSA."
The Gilman International Scholarship Program supports undergraduates who might not otherwise participate in study abroad due to financial constraints. The program encourages students to choose non-traditional study abroad destinations, especially those outside of Western Europe and Australia.
The Gilman scholarship especially focuses on helping students who have been traditionally under-represented in study abroad, including students with high financial need, community college students, students in under-represented fields such as the sciences and engineering, students with diverse ethnic backgrounds and students with disabilities.
Study abroad programs at UTSA are available to students in any major. Participants must have a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA and be at least a sophomore at the time of participation. For more information on study abroad at UTSA, contact the Office of International Programs, Main Building Room 1.210, 1604 Campus.

The extraordinary power of quantum computing comes from exploiting superposition and interference. Consider what happens when a classical computer is asked to search among all possible patterns of n bits for a particular pattern that satisfies some stated condition. With a single processor, the computer must examine each pattern sequentially, and since there are 2n such patterns, the task is intractable for large values of n. With parallel processing the search can be completed in a single step, but only if you can build 2n processors, which again becomes impractical as n grows large. A quantum computer might break the logjam, at least for some problems. After setting up the right initial superposition of states, and allowing it to evolve according to the right unitary transition matrix, a single quantum processor could sift through all the qubit patterns simultaneously. Destructive interference would suppress those patterns that were not of interest, while constructive interference would enhance those that met the stated conditions.
Factoring an integer can be formulated as such a search problem. The aim is to find a pattern of n/2 or fewer bits that evenly divides a given n-bit number. The simplest classical algorithm (albeit not the best one) searches for a factor by trial division, requiring either 2n/2 steps on a single processor or 2n/2 processors. In principle, a quantum computer might be designed to perform the search directly in a single step, by starting with a superposition of all 2n/2 qubit patterns and allowing them to interfere with one another according to some carefully crafted unitary transition matrix. When the computer halted, it would be in a state representing a factor of the number. Unfortunately, no one has any idea how to create the appropriate transition matrix or how to build a machine that would implement it.
Shor's quantum factoring algorithm is less direct, but it still relies on quantum interference to identify one special qubit pattern out of many. Quantum computation is used to solve the congruence xr = 1 modulo N, where N is the number to be factored and x is a random integer. Having found the least value of r that satisfies this relation, a straightforward classical calculation yields a factor of N.
If a quantum factoring algorithm is faster than any known classical algorithm, does that mean quantum computers are more powerful than classical ones? Curiously, the answer to this question is still unclear. Part of the difficulty of resolving it is that the computational status of factoring itself is uncertain. No classical polynomial-time factoring algorithm is known, but no one has proved that such an algorithm cannot exist. Thus factoring could yet turn out to be an "easy" problem, in which case the quantum computer's prowess in this special realm will not have much general significance. Far more convincing would be an efficient quantum method for a problem with better credentials attesting to its intractability, such as the traveling-salesman problem; but such a discovery is considered unlikely (16).
Whatever the theoretical standing of the factoring problem, its practical importance is unquestioned. "Public-key" cryptography depends for its security on the difficulty of factoring large integers. If it appears possible to build quantum computers, or even special-purpose quantum factoring engines, the secrecy of encrypted messages will be in jeopardy. But if quantum mechanics undermines one form of cryptography, it could also supply a replacement. Standing alongside the new study of quantum computing is the equally novel field of quantum cryptography, which derives its strength from the same mysterious physical laws.

I wouldn't exactly call it a version 2, it's more like minor upgrades. I used to have sintra thighs, shins, and shoe armor. Recently won an unfinshed set of JD legs from Cruzer's Ebay auction. You can clearly see the quality difference from the sintra to the JD's fiberglass. Upgrades to come include BKBT's fiberglass chest armor (sintra currently), and I have an MLC Arena JP enroute sometime next week. I have a complete picture posted in the image gallery.
The JP pictured is my original JP. I won't need it when I get the MLC, just putting some feelers out there to see if there's any interest, if not, I'll try to ebay it. Thanks JN

Lurking in the tech channel shadows are the various manifestations of the newly emerging e-channel: online application stores, online communities, group buying sites, and e-purchasing services. For example, the number of small to medium-size businesses (SMBs) that sourced software products from online application stores increased almost 40% from 2009 to 2010. (I'll publish the 2011 channel numbers next quarter.)
Joining the application store ranks of Intuit Marktplace, NetSuite SuiteApp.com, and salesforce.com AppExchange this year have been Adobe Marketplace, Cisco AppHQ, Constant Contact Marketplace, Microsoft Dynamics Marketplace, and Microsoft Office 365 Marketplace. Online communities OfficeArrow, OpenForum, and Spiceworks now offer software products. You could imagine e-purchasing services, like Rearden Commerce and Concur, expanding their travel services domain to other B2B products and services (like software). And this is just the tip of the iceberg – believe me, there are a lot more tech vendors and communities that will launch e-channels in the next six months.
All this e-channel activity, from both the provider and customer sides, has got to toll a warning bell for traditional channel companies – and their vendor partners, who have to keep them appeased. Perhaps most vulnerable are the DMRs (direct market resellers) (although the DMR gorilla, CDW, is taking strategic steps to expand its services portfolio in becoming more of a solutions provider).
I'll be researching the impact of this emerging e-channel further, so if you have ideas or perspective to help guide my research, please share.


text: So im having a real big problem with these guys, ( and so you know Im currently deployed and my dad is my power of attorney) Here is the back story real quick, My dad had taken my truck to the shop cause the abs was kicking in and the mechanic, dean (which my dad has grew up with him his whole life (real good friends) and been a mechanic for 25 years) hooked the machine up to it and told him that the abs sensor was going bad, so he fixed that and then told us that we probly have to replace the electronic brake module (or something like that not entirely sure) cause it was shorting out but i told him i would wait since it cost alot of money, well my dad was driving it home and he said that he could feel a vibration from the brakes and dean said thats cause of the module, well we had it taken back to the shop and wanted to have Wynns warranty cover it (since i bought their warranty with my truck) And they were like yes we'll cover it and it was gonna be like 500 and some change total and i had to pay 100 deductible. I said fine so that dean could go ahead and start working on it, then he was seeing that the hub had been messed up cause of this faulty module. and then called them back to tell them this problem and now they're refusing to cover it now. heres the email from my dad the warranty company won't change there mind so i hope you can pay for all this an just deal with them when you get home they are trying to say that dean didn't figure what the right thing that was wrong dean told them that the abs modem was shorted out an that is what made the hub mess up but they said there mechanic said that only the hub was the only thing that needed to be replaced they basically cussed at dean saying he was wrong an didn't know what he was talking about dean said he was a mechanic for over 25 years an he knew what was wrong with your truck but they won't change there mind an they will not pay any labor or the abs modem or the hub thing they say it's deans fault an dean got real mad with them said to tell you he is sorry but he can't do warranty work for them any more they authorized everything till they got the final price then they started saying all that bull **** about stuff not needing to be done so that is why it is 700 to get your truck an i am sorry but there is nothing i can do they want to talk with you ttyl dad And this is bull**** (excuse my language), but they said they were gonna cover this at first and i just pay the $100, and that was fine. But if i knew they weren't gonna cover it i would of not gotten the work done. Cause 700 is alot of money compared to 100. And thats just wrong cause they were gonna cover it till he added that the hub needed to be placed. And now they're saying that a 25 year mechanic does not know what his is doing by they're mechanic (who probly some stupid ass college retard mechanic that thinks he all smart). And i don't know a ton about mechanic work, but i do know from pretty much common sense you cant always diagnose problems from over the phone, you got to sometimes be there to see a problem first hand, cause its not always gonna be the same fix everytime. There is a lot factors when it comes to moving parts in a vehicle. My dad was saying to file a claim against them and i will and i will call them the second i get home from Afghanistan (which will be about 10 days) and bitch them out. But does anyone know what i can do about this? Cause it is wrong to the customer saying they will cover it and then go back and say no theyre not and now i got to pay for everything

We rent our guest-room in our new, modern and stylist 2 bedrooms apartment. We also live in this apartment and would love to welcome you and give you the best tips from this fantastic city.
This is a new building so it has all the facilities like 2 lifts and an special entrance for disables!
The location can't be better for transport, as we are in Zone 1, in the heart of the city "Central London". The tube and rail way stations are just on the next block and a wide option of buses go past just on the corner. From here you can go to everywhere in London and very quick! You can go to Victoria, the main station in London, in just 15 min by bus which is really good for those who need to save time. In fact for those who like to walk you can even do it to the Big Ben.
You can star your trip by looking into the area pictures: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/locations/london/walworth
This is a multicultural neighbourhood with all facilities and conveniences with plenty supermarkets, coffee shops, banks, cash points, etc.
All central London sights are reachable by bus which you can take just outside the building. That´s a great advantage because the tube fare is almost the double of the bus price!
Let's talk about your bedroom: It's cosy and with a super comfy king size bed perfect for a couple or for 2 people (everyone that has slept there says the same: what a great bed!). We bought the mattress very recently and yes, it's very comfortable for your back (it's not the cheap one). There is 1 bedside table and 1 bedside cabinet. There is also a desk and 2 very comfortable chairs and a TV to watch DVD's (I haven't install the British Channels as this is very expensive in London) but you can borrow a DVD from the collection on the entrance hall.
There is a wardrobe with hangers available so you will have plenty space for your clothes.
Bedlinen and towels are provided as well as a very reliable WiFi connection (Username & Password will be on the desk)
For a third guest I can add a single bed in the room but obviously that will cut space!
The bathrooms is very spacious, modern and as it's the only bathroom in the apartment so it would be shared with us. I always try to keep it clean and tidy for you.
Communal areas, like the bathroom, kitchen and living room are shared with us, my husband and I, we are very clean, tidy and respectful. I do understand that sometimes you don't want to share, as it has happen to some guests that have come to us. So think beforehand if you want to share. The positive thing about sharing is that your stay will be more rich, if you are open to have contact. You will have more local experience as we like to chat with our guests and offer them advice on their London sightseeing experience. Just ask us!!
The kitchen has all you may need for your breakfast! I'll leave in the fridge: milk, bread, orange juice, butter, jam, etc. There is also cereal, coffee/tee and biscuits available. You can use the kettle, toaster or microwave.
I don't offer use of the cooker or the kitchen for lunches or dinners. I understand some guests like to save money by having dinner at home but if you are looking to prepare meals then I have another apartment available for that! Have a look and book it in advance as it's very popular :)
Also...after having a guest misunderstanding I think I better clarify it as well: I don´t offer full English Breakfast neither serve it, but for those who like cereal, juice or toasts, I leave my kitchen loaded with different kind of cereal, bread, milk and juice for you to serve yourself, so you don´t need to worry about going out to having breakfast outside. Just please leave everything as you find it!
Check-in possible from any time but please note that the room will not be ready yet from the previous guests before 3pm so if you come earlier it will only be possible to drop off your luggage.
I'll need the room to be empty by 11 am but for later flights you can leave your luggage on the living room.
Please have a look of the house rules and send me your enquiry, I always like to check profiles so please add a photo (which shows your face!) and some information about you :)
I hope to hear from you soon!
House rulesGolden Rules!!
1. If you need to smoke it has to be outside the BUILDING.

For 4 nights we were Mary's guests and it was great. Mary and her husband were very friendly and nice to us. It was very comfortable in the apartment. The kitchen could be used constantly, whether together or not. Every morning were ready cereal, milk and juice. Encounters in his pajamas were part of it ;-) It was very entertaining ... both were jerder time ready for a chat. The communication worked out great. The location is perfect ... it is super fast at Picadilly Circus. From the bedroom window you can very well see the London Eye. Well worth a visit, I will want to stay with Mary again.
Für 4 Nächte waren wir Mary's Gäste und es war großartig. Mary und ihr Mann waren sehr freundlich und nett zu uns.
Es war sehr gemütlich in der Wohnung. Die Küche konnte ständig mit benutzt werden, egal ob zusammen oder nicht. Jeden Morgen standen Müsli, Milch und Saft bereit. Begegnungen im Schlafanzug gehörten dazu ;-)
Es war sehr unterhaltsam...beide waren jerder Zeit zu einem Schwätzchen bereit.
Die Kommunikation klappte hervorragend.
Die Lage ist perfekt...man ist superschnell am Picadilly Circus. Aus dem Zimmerfenster kann man sehr gut das London Eye sehen.
Ein Besuch lohnt sich, ich werde nochmal bei Mary wohnen wollen.
Very convenient to RFH. Nice and very helpful couple and clean apt. Missed hand soap. Highly recommend.
The location of this property was perfect, central London and 5 stops from Piccadilly off. Good connections and himself to walk to the Tower Bridge. Unfortunately, the facility itself is not expected. For the price we paid (107 euros) is a small room with a bed and a camp bed, definitely too small for 3 people. Moreover the bathroom was downright nasty! Body hair all over the floor, dirty towels in a corner, toilet and sink not cleaned. This we are accustomed! The host felt Neit called to take some distance, so ran the evening in his bathrobe through the apartment, which we experienced as quite intimidating. The use of the living room was meant kindly, but the host was just joining us while we were expecting some privacy. All in all not a pleasant experience unfortunately. The host was very friendly. My camera I had left is only 1.5 weeks later by post, which I find quite late for something important and expensive item like a camera.
De locatie van deze accommodatie is perfect, hartje London en 5 haltes van Piccadilly af. Goede verbindingen en zelf te lopen naar de Towerbridge. Helaas is de accommodatie zelf niet naar verwachting. Voor de prijs die wij betaalden (107 euro) is een klein kamertje met bed en een campingbed, absoluut te klein voor 3 personen. Bovendien was de badkamer ronduit smerig!! Lichaamshaar overal op de vloer, vieze handdoeken in een hoek, wc en wastafel niet schoongemaakt. Dit zijn we anders gewend! De host voelde zich neit geroepen om enige afstand te nemen, dus liep 's avonds in zijn badjas door het appartement, wat wij als toch wel intimiderend ervaarden. Ook het gebruik van de woonkamer was vriendelijk bedoeld, maar de host kwam er gewoon bijzitten terwijl wij wat privacy verwachtten. Al met al geen prettige ervaring helaas. De host was wel heel vriendelijk. MIjn camera die ik had laten liggen is ook pas 1,5 week later per post toegezonden, wat ik vrij laat vind voor zoiets duurs en belangrijks als een fotocamera.
The hostess Mrs. Mary and her husband Mr. Simon are very hospitable. In conversations and also good tips for London Besuch.Das room is clean but too small for our family with a child. Storage is very convenient on the way to City by bus or subway.
Die Gastgeberin Frau Mary und ihr Mann Herr Simon sind sehr Gastfreundlich. Und Bei Gespräche auch gute Tipps für London Besuch.Das Zimmer ist zwar sauber aber zu klein für unsere Familien mit einem Kind. Lager ist zu City sehr praktisch mit Bus oder U-Bahn unterwegs.
Nice place, easy to find. 4-5 minute walk from the tube (very easy to get to from the Euston Train Station).
Room was decent size even by American Standards. Building was newer and felt safe.
Both Mary & her Husband were nice and accommodating.
Only minor complaint is it's fairly close to a rail line, so a tad noisy IF you have the window open. With it closed it's fairly quiet and not a concern.
We have not seen Mary during our stay. Although absent, she often contacted us to ensure that we lacked nothing. The apartment is very new, in perfect condition and well equipped. Located just steps from a subway station, it can reach central London in a few stations. An address to remember during your next stay!
Nous n'avons pas pu voir Mary pendant notre séjour. Bien qu'absente, elle a nous souvent contacté afin de s'assurer que nous ne manquions de rien.
L'appartement, très récent, est en parfait état et bien équipé. Situé à deux pas d'une station de métro, il permet de rejoindre le centre de Londres en quelques stations. Une adresse à retenir lors d'un prochain séjour !
- Quality assured accommodation

I'm sure i'll get roasted here but does taking the regulator off increase the chance of an explosion?
Since I didn't have it on full blast I assume a higher pressure regulator wouldn't do much for me or am I missing something?
Why wouldnt you have had it at full blast? with the rocket pot, 30PSI is fine unless you are trying to further cut time. If you invested so much into other time-saving equipment though, may as well go all out

How many boils can one get with a double burner on one tank of propane?

Good morning all. three weeks ago I discovered my two hives located 5 feet aprt were dead. I took video of both and am looking for opions as to why they died. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Hive #2 Video Hive #1 Video
Good morning all. three weeks ago I discovered my two hives located 5 feet aprt were dead. I took video of both and am looking for opions as to why they died. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Hive #2 Video Hive #1 Video
I just started watching the first video. What has your weather been like? Abnormal warm/cold spells? I don't see on the video #1 any signs of pests, but I'm still not through it all. They certainly didn't starve to death with all that honey.
Video #1 at 3:38: Is that water droplets on the top bars? They could have truly frozen to death if there was condensation within the hive dripping down on them. Or did the water come from somewhere else?
Video #2: Starting with 5 frames in July in your climate may have been a little late to build up good for the winter. They appear to have good stores, but if the cluster isn't big enough, they may not be able to last through the winter with standard old age deaths. In addition, as the cluster gets smaller, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep the hive/cluster warm.
The mold is an indication of moisture, again raising my concerns of condensation in the hive dripping back on the bees. The way they are still dead in a small cluster makes me think that they just froze to death where they were. I am not all too familiar with how long ago your winter set in there, but even down here in SE Texas, as the weather got cooler, I condensed my hives down as much as possible to help them keep their space as warm as possible.
Feeding them in the winter won't do much good if it's too cold for them to break cluster to go get the food. They naturally want to move the cluster up inside the hive as the winter progresses to access the honey stores. Perhaps next winter, look to overwinter any questionable hive in narrow 5 frame nuc boxes. And maybe even wrap the hive in some black paper and insulation.
After 20 months I'm over a 20 hives and growing. See my videos! http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8fVrmUsyYlRuASdX6UQk1g
Seeing the 3 queen cups started makes me think you might've lost your queen at some point and the cluster in 2 seemed really small.
Last summer's drought made this year a bit different than a typical year.
Because of the drought, both the quantity and variety of pollen available to many colonies was sharply reduced.
This impacts winter survival significantly, because without sufficient protein and amino acids the bees won't raise ( or will raises significantly poorer quality) brood.
Without adequate protein, brood that is raised often has a much shorter life span.
Many pollens by themselves do not provide certain essential amino acids required for healthy brood production- and lacking some of them, bees won't raise any brood at all, instead they'll eat the eggs.
Both dandelion and goldenrod, for example, lack one or more of these essential amino acids.
As you note, there's a fair amount of pollen in some of the frames, but it looks like it is orange.
And the bees that perished appear to have been feeding on it.
I wonder if protein deficiency restricted brood production and shortened the life of your winter bees, resulting in a cluster unable to maintain 'critical mass' to stay warm enough to live or thrive?
Without more history its going to be hard to say. However a couple of points. You mentioned a couple of times about the faulty tray under the SBB. That very likely had no role in the death of this hive. More important is what's on the tray. The video wasn't clear enough to make out the contents of the debris on the tray, but it did appear to have mites. Hopefully you haven't cleaned that tray and can go back a take a good look. You're looking for varroa mites.
There were very few bees, certainly not enough to maintain cluster temps to survive. When did you start noticing population declines? Did you monitor varroa mites during late summer and fall?
Video # 2. Bottom box...third and fourth frame you pulled. There was a large brood pattern at one time. Colony was drawing foundation and filling filling it. Then crash, they lost their bees. See the partially emerged worker bees? Look for some that died as they emerged...probably have tongues sticking out. Pull some out with a pocket knife...their wings may be shriveled and their abdomens flat and stunted.
Viruses took down your bees, because of the varroa load. Did you ever sample for varroa after you installed the nuc?
Usually voroa mites are the culprit, and if they are you will see a white frass in the bottom of the brood nest cells. You will see mites on the bottom board and you will see Deformed Wing virus and pupae on the bottom boards and entrances.
It could also be nosema , which acts quickly in severely infected colonies. This is my guess
What happens is the nosema infects the foragers and shortens their life span. As they fly out, they die and leaves the colony in a worker division inbalance. Younger nurse bees will graduate sooner to the forager role and as the nosema cycle continues the hive continue to make the balance until they do not have enough young bees to care for the brood. Without the resources coming in because of a continued shortage of forager bees, the hive goes into a malnurished state and dwindles. You will see chilled brood and a small dwindled cluster in you dead hives
It does not appear to be a queen related problem because you had sheets of brood going before the bees pulled off of them
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
I think week hive going in to winter, Maybe no queen. Just not enough bees to keep a winter cluster warm.
I'm just spitballing here, but you should find mites on the bottom board. I've seen alot of videos and talked with a few beekeepers with this same scenario.
First year beekeeper and treatment free?
For hive #2 video: a little SOAP exercise
Subjective/Objective: Dead hive in January 2013. Nuc installed into new hive of wooden frames with wax foundation this past year. 2 deeps for brood chamber, several (~6) combs still not drawn. Several combs full of honey still. Mold/mildew or wax bloom on some of the frames. In the bottom, brood seen over large portion of some frames. Some brood is capped. Some cappings have holes. Dead bees appear to be about 3-4 inch cluster. Worries about plastic varroa tray bending down and allowing too much air. Sugar board intact over top of hive.
Assessment: This hive had plenty of food and is not a starvation case. This hive had a large cluster within the last 21 days. There are capped brood over a large area of frames, so there had to be enough bees to cover this area to allow the queen to lay here. There has been a somewhat sudden decrease in hive population because a relatively small cluster is seen now. Most likely cause of sudden decrease in hive population is parasitic mite syndrome (Thank you, Michael Palmer!). The varroa are so numerous, that they are able to easily transmit viruses. With insufficient bees, the cluster freezes.
Other possible diagnosis: american foulbrood (AFB). This disease is a lot less common, but the holes in caps are somewhat suspicious. A lot of parasitic mite syndrome deaths will look like this, and the brood may be slightly ropey (usually less than with AFB), however the pictures are not very clear. Other tests would be indicated such as closer visual exam by someone that knows what AFB looks like, smelling frames by same person, test at Beltsville USDA lab (http://www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=7472), and/or on site test with commercially available test.
The varroa tray being bent is not an issue whatsoever. Numerous people further north winter hives with fully open screened bottom boards. The hole and airflow allowed by this hole should pale in comparison to the front entrance. The white stuff on the frames is of no concern and would be cleaned up by the bees if frames were reused.
Assuming that AFB is ruled out, the frames could be reused with another package or swarm or nuc next year. There is some controversy with re-using frames because of the increasing incidence of Nosema cerana. AFB will definitely make spores that contaminate the frames forever (unless disinfected - there is another recent thread on this on Beesource). Nosema cerana can also possibly persist. The signs of this Nosema species are bee death and not dysentery or diarrhea as it was with Nosema apis. If it were my hive, I would probably reuse frames since they will have a good freeze and that should decrease chance of Nosema.
1. Clean dead bees out of the hives.
2. Stack the boxes with box fronts alternately facing forward or right to allow air flow in the boxes (crisscross the boxes). This will help prevent wax moths.
3. Order bees for next year.
4. Show frames to a knowledgeable beekeeper in the area that can diagnose AFB, or send samples to USDA lab to rule out AFB. Are you a member of a bee club? Do you have a mentor or other beekeeper to help?
5. Next year: test for varroa mite levels starting in the early summer and continuing through the summer. Treat when mite level starts to grow. See articles about varroa by Randy Oliver at www.scientificbeekeeping.com
Good luck next year. I think this type of loss is very common and as a business catering to the hobbyist beekeeper, its prevention is one of our priorities for the coming year.

I am only guessing but maybe hive #2 went queenless and then to a laying worker hive. Why wouldn't there be a lot of dead bees on the bottom board.
The plastic sheet (you call bottom board) should have a SBB above to prevent robbing which could be another cause. The hives got robbed of their stores and the stress killed them. Each hive spent their time robbing each other instead of foraging.

Any suggestions for "other" natural treatments for the V-mite? Also is there any issue with re-using these frames?
I second the poster who recommended you check out the varroa info at "http://www.scientificbeekeeping.com/". You could use Mite-Away (formic acid), apiguard (thymol), and oxalic acid as some natural treatments.
Very interesting powdered sugar finding that was made during a presentation by Dr. Marion Ellis at the ABF convention a couple weeks ago. He said that the powdered sugar used during a mite roll (in a jar) only knocks off about 30% of the mites on the bees. The rest of the mite drop in the jar comes from the heat generated by the bees. He showed a picture of a mite burrowed between the overlapping plates of a bees abdomen. There's no way sugar alone was going to get that mite out of there. That said, he did review a method he's been trying to use powdered sugar to give a good mite drop on an entire hive, but also said it's not really ready to the point where he can recommend doing it (involves shaking thousands of bees in a box). So that was the long way of saying sugaring even whole frames of bees in your hives probably isn't having the mite drop effect once thought.
Reusing because they've been sugared? No problems w/that at all. Also no issues with them having been from a mite-infested hive. The mites are all dead and long gone. Sugaring whole frames does no harm, it's just that it probably doesn't give the mite relief that was once purported.

Brian kelly can really coach.. Sure they got Te'o and a few other bigtime prospects, but they have been getting production from a freshman QB, and guys like Robby Toma Zeke Motta, and Jake Golic and Braxston Cave..etc A bunch of guys who are solid, gritty players, but not super athleteic high profiled guys.. Kelly is really coaching his butt off in south bend right now..
Mark my words, u gotta remember the name Rushel Shell RB Pittsburgh.. Hes a highly touted Freshman who i see in his first college carries against cincy, and was very impressed with his power and ability to manuveur at his size.. Hes not gonna always shake u outta ur shoes, but he can move around well for a back his size.. I gotta feeling hes gonna be a sure first 1st rder if he stays healthy..
1. Alabama
4. Oregon
5. West Virginia
6. Oklahoma
7. Georgia
I would say the Top 6 teams have a chance at playing in the National Title game. It will be whoever wins Bama and LSU and if 1 of those other 4 teams can go undefeated. If they all lose we might see LSU Bama again. Which not a lot of people want to see but I believe are the 2 best teams
not for nothing, but matthew stafford su-cks.. Also TItus Young is the biggest airhead in the world.. I've seen that dude make some just don't give a cr-ap about anyone but urself penalties and mistakes.. The lions Drafted way to many slugs.. Nd Suh, Fairley, Young, CHerilus, are all guys who just don't give u the effort and really dodn't put team first.. I feel bad for Pettigrew and Calvin Johnson, who always seem to be going full steam.. Have u ever seen someone lose his luster as fast as Nd Suh has? Hes a freaking headcase! Also they got a DB Jacob Lacey who would seriously challenge tryon as the worst CB in the world..
They always seem to shoot themselves in the foot.. There a depressing team to watch...

Super early still but David Wilson again did nothing and got simply outclassed by former 4th rder Andre Brown and Doug Martin for that matter.. He dropped a super easy catchable ball and showed exactly the thing i disliked about him at Va Tech with the Dancing around thingst.. So far, Jayron Hosley looks like our best pick, which is what i said during the draft..
Wilson was really growing on me by preseasons end, but after 2games, he has done nothing to excite me and i feel even stronger about us should of taking Cordy Glenn, as i thought he was the value then with Doug Martin being off the board.. Adrien Robinson is completely non existent so far and Randle hasen't done anything outside ST's.. Hosley has looked very good, and i think hes gonna be our future starter..
Now i know its very early, and trust me, i hope Wilson , randle and Robinson all make me look bad with my judgements, but as of now, they haven't..
1 can hardly say Martin outclassed Wilson today since Wilson gained more yards in 2 kickoff returns than Martin did in all his 20 touches. Wilson gave us excellent field position.
I will say that thus far, Alfred Morris has been the best rookie RB in the NFL, a guy I had on my list of the 2 most underrated prospects coming out last year. I seem to remember posters arguing with me saying he we was likely going to be undrafted.

New CEBA: times pi*R squared Is that an aquarium? It certainly doesn't blend in with the current architectural style of the rest of the campus. What were those egg heads thinking?
What's is the road work that is going on in front of the pentagon and indian mounds?
Over the next six (6) weeks, beginning Friday July 19, prep work will begin and on Monday July 22, full construction on Phase 1 of Easy Streets II will take place on Dalrymple Drive from Infirmary Road to Cypress Drive. This phase will introduce traffic calming, angled parking, sharrow bike lanes (A sharrow is the short-form for "shared roadway bicycle marking." This pavement marking includes a bicycle symbol and two white chevrons), and new crosswalks. During the construction, parking in this area will be closed to B Plan parkers. B Plan parkers are encouraged to use other areas of the campus for their parking needs. Traffic will be allowed, but will be limited to one lane with flagmen crews working the areas under construction.
Construction, in Phase 1, will also include the elimination of parking on Tower Drive from South Stadium Drive, north, to the entrance of the Coates Hall parking lot. With the removal of these parking spaces, a new pedestrian corridor will be created to allow for safer passage by pedestrians and provide additional bicycle access. However, re-locating of B Plan parkers on Tower Drive will not occur at this time. B Plan parkers that park on Tower Drive from South Stadium to the entrance of the Coates Hall parking lot will be notified as soon as possible as to when they will need to re-locate to other parking.
Phase 2 of Easy Streets II will be completed next summer and will address South Campus Drive, Fieldhouse Drive, and South Stadium Drive.
quote:shiiiit, there goes my gameday parking.
Also worth noting, most of the Hart lot (next to Kirby Smith) is now closed and construction has started on LSU's next residence hall.

Re: The Silk Road
Hi Denise..welcome!
I imagine that the versions of the chicken dishes you are looking for were popularised in American Chinese eateries....I had never heard of General Tso's chicken till I googled it!
Orange chicken can be a variation of lemon chicken.
I would take 500g of thick slices of chicken breast or thigh meat, then marinate them with 1/2 tsp salt,1/2 tsp sugar, 2 tsp cornflour, ginger juice (grate 1 tbsp worth of ginger,mix with 1 tsp sherry then really squeeze the juice over) and 1/2 tsp sesame oil. Leave to meld for about an hour.
Then coat it with rice flour, beaten egg and another coatng of rice flour, deep fry in hot peanut oil till crisp and golden. Spread on paper towels in a single layer while you get on with the sauce.
To a dry pan, heat up 1 tbsp of oil and saute 1tsp sugar,some grated garlic and ginger, along with some sliced chillies for heat if you like,till lightly browned. Stir in the juice of 2 large oranges and 1 dried tangerine peel (which you have washed,from chinese medical stores)..failing which,just use the zest of an orange. Tip in some soy to taste and about 1/4 cup of thai sweet chilli. Boil till syrupy,discard the tangerine peel and toss the chicken pieces in it,serve immediately.
For general Tso's chicken, I would prepare the chicken in the same way,except the sauce is different.
Heat up 2 tbsp of oil in a pan and saute 1 tsp grated ginger,1 tsp grated garlic and 1/4 cup finely chopped spring onions with some szechuan chilli pepper,depending on how much you like. Add 3 tbsp of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of black vinegar,soy to taste and a big splash of sherry or chinese cooking wine and bubble away till syrupy,drizzle with a little sesame oil and taste. Toss the chicken in it and serve immediately. it should be a sweet,spicy,sour yet savoury sauce.
Ichiban is a japanese restaurant? What you enjoyed would most definitely be a miso soup.
Are there any decent asian stores in your area whereby you can get hold of some good white miso paste and dashi granules?
Hope this helps!

Re: The Silk Road

salt and pepper to taste
1 cup water
1 cup orange juice
2 tbsp sherry
2 tbsp light soy
5 small chunks of rock sugar

If you read anything news-related, it's likely you heard about last week's ethics and privacy discussions surrounding Facebook and social science research. Essentially, a paper was published by a team of researchers from Cornell University and Facebook—"Experimental evidence of massive-scale emotional contagion through social networks"—through the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (June 2014), which says to have physically manipulated the news feeds of thousands of Facebook users to control the emotions of their perceived-networks, to ultimately analyze their not-in-person emotional responses.
The research findings are fascinating. They're simply described in the following excerpt from the paper Abstract: Continue reading

Like most, I've been perusing these boards for a while and decided its time to introduce myself..
my name is Aaron, I live in Orlando, FL where I work at Disney in the Indiana Jones Stunt Show. I'm a semi-active 501st member with a sandtrooper costume (family and work come first).
When I made the decision to make a costume I was gonna initially go with a Fett until I realized the amount of time and money involved which is what lead to to go with a TD instead. Since that time I've been blessed with an amazing daughter (who's almost two). Not suprisingly enough, because of that daughter I have less time and less money so what better time than to start down that long expensive road of putting together a ROTJ Fett?!
I have a pretty good idea where I'm getting 90% of the build, but that could easily change as time passes. I'm definitely not in any rush.
Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Edible subtropical plants offer fruit and are handy screens, writes Meg Liptrot.
We're lucky in the warmer parts of Aotearoa that we can grow wonderful subtropicals. On the occasions I've visited the South Island and have been tempted to move to Riverton, or maybe Oamaru, my big stumbling block (apart from it being a little expensive to visit family in Auckland) is "what about my bananas and cherimoya?" What about the warmth and rain we have in the north that allows us to grow the most wonderful array of lush subtropical plants? Which is why I'll be staying in Auckland.
Most of the gardens I've designed have featured subtropicals. They are particularly suited to filling awkward spaces quickly, and make dull fencelines look lush, or quickly block views that you don't want to see. Bananas are perfect in this situation.
At home, our little villa is surrounded by two-storey infill housing, and we get little snapshots of a sea view in between. The overall impression was one of being hemmed in. The best way to deal with this was to create screens of lush foliage in layers, giving a jungle-like quality, creating the illusion the backyard is bigger than it is.
The first layer of foliage is viewed from the metre-high verandah so the leaves are at eye level, with another layer in the background against the boundary fence. The chosen plants were relatively simple, not busy, and filter light beautifully. That's when banana leaves steal the show. Their leaves glow when light is viewed through them, so are perfect on the north side of the property.
When planning a subtropical garden, aim to create a moist, humid, sheltered and warm situation to mimic the environment these plants came from. Plant a canopy of sorts, which allows dappled light into the next levels in the garden, but prevents them from being parched in the sun. Choose tall plants such as mountain pawpaw and bananas, or smallish trees such as tamarillo, Tahitian lime or cherimoya to provide a good framework. Under these, plant lower-growing vegetation such as canna lily, taro or ginger. Then use bushy ground covers such as pepino. Some native ground covers work well too, such as the small limey green leaves of Fuchsia procumbens.
If you have more space, subtropical shelter species might include quick-growing sugarcane, which is non-invasive (unlike some bamboo). According to the late Joe Polaischer of Rainbow Valley Farm, sugarcane juice makes a delicious sweet mixer in a cocktail, replacing refined sugar syrup.
All you need is an old modified wringer to crush and juice the cane. Muddle some pieces of lime from your Tahitian lime tree with a few sprigs of mint in a glass and mix.
Backyard mojito, anyone?
Subtropical picks
Tall canopy: Avocado, casimiroa (also called White sapote or icecream fruit). These trees need lots of space and good shelter. Sugarcane, mountain pawpaw are good as shelter plants.
Smaller trees: Cherimoya, babaco, Tahitian lime, tamarillo, tropical guava
Shrubby plants/groundcovers: Taro, white or red ginger (eg galangal, non-invasive), pepino, wild pineapple (related to the bromeliad, and edible)
Subtropical gardens to visit
(The top two are also nurseries.)
* Landsendt, Oratia (Dick Endt introduced tamarillo to New Zealand. A gorgeous, show garden; visit by appointment, plus nursery).
* Subtropica, Waipu (by appointment, excellent nursery, great advice).
* Unitec Hortecology Sanctuary, Mt Albert (has a mature food forest.
* Sustainable Living Centre garden, New Lynn.
Also, join Tree Crops Assn.
Do you have subtopical plants in your garden? Any tips for making them thrive?

The Destination
Like the lynx that roam through its thickets of spruce, a trip midway up Minnesota's 57-mile-long Gunflint Trail calls for a natural sense of curiosity. Located within the Superior National Forest of northeast Minnesota, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness straddles the border between the United States and Canada. Here, moose, beavers, and bobcats roam a million acres of pine-filled boreal forests and leafy deciduous woodlands. When it comes to recreation, hiking, canoeing, and fishing are mainstays during warmer months, while snowshoeing and skiing attract winter visitors.
The Digs
Take a hearty gulp of crisp country air and follow your intrigue to one of the fully furnished cabins or lodge rooms on East Bearskin Lake at Bearskin Lodge, 26 miles from Grand Marais, Minnesota, on Minnesota's historic Gunflint Trail. Set on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), the lodge has welcomed guests to its cabins and campsites since 1925. Reconnect with nature in a space that may feature bedrooms with skylights, wraparound windows, and wood-burning fireplaces. The lodge's private hot tub offers a warm respite to close any perfect woodland day.
The Diversions

Audio & Video
Renowned for its distinctive sound, wide dynamic range, and explosive rim shot, the SFZ (Sforzando) marching snare drum incorporates structural innovations that permit the use of a high-tension Kevlar® drumhead. Years in the making, the SFZ was developed and perfected in field tests under the rigors of actual use with The Cadets, The Cavaliers and The Madison Scouts drum and bugle corps. The design offers powerful projection, precise articulation and durable performance.
Snare Assembly
For urgent drumhead changes, the strainer system allows for quick and easy removal of the snare assembly. With the use of FiberTech™ snares, a crisp and articulate sound is obtained while ten independently adjustable strands allow for precise tuning control. The butt-side strainer uses aluminum die-cast construction for strength without excess weight, and has vertical adjustment capability for a precise setting of snare height. This also houses the independent adjustment for each FiberTech™ snaregut. The release-side strainer uses parts made of die-cast aluminum and durable nylon for a smooth, noise-free operation. An oversized vertical adjustment knob allows adjustment to snare height even when snares are engaged. For a precise setting of the snare tension, the horizontal adjustment knob is within easy reach of the player.
Suspension Ring
With the thickest wall in the industry, the SFZ suspension ring allows high-tension tuning without warping. It uses a solid, die-cast design and a special aluminum alloy to provide exceptional strength with minimum weight. It is also tall enough to accommodate the stretch of a plastic head. An extra long lug nut provides sufficient threading to effectively grip the tension rod. Its beveled edge guides the rod to eliminate cross threading, a feature especially helpful during last-minute head changes.
Shell and Lugs
The 6-ply birch shell built using Yamaha's patented Air-Seal System® promotes a sharp attack with a full-bodied sound. Three air holes vent the shell to promote immediate snare response and to enhance projection. Tubular lugs are made of high-quality, lightweight aluminum, and feature a thick wall to resist dents and bending from heavy use.
Stabilizer Power Posts™
These posts support the tube lugs by adding considerable resistance against damage from accidental bumps and stick hits. Since they are secured to the shell, the posts help focus the drum's tone and therefore, make the sound more articulate. To facilitate quick bottom head changes, the posts maintain the exact alignment necessary for the bottom tension rods.
Rims and Tension Rods
For consistent tuning and explosive rim shots, the top and bottom rims use a special aluminum alloy in a solid, die-cast design without excess weight. The 6mm diameter of the tension rods provides the extra strength necessary to maintain structural integrity under aggressive tuning conditions. Double steel washers allow smooth tuning adjustments at any tension.
14" and 13" Models to Match Your Musical Needs
In contrast to the dynamic, full-bodied sound of the 14" model, the 13" model is lighter and can achieve a higher fundamental pitch with a controlled sound for precision on the field or while indoors.
Gravity Guards™
Locking nylon nuts help maintain tuning settings when set against the bottom rim. These act as lock washers to slow the turning of the rods caused by vibrations during play
Protective Feet
Exclusive to Yamaha, three removable feet eliminate damage to the bottom components of the drum when placed on rough surfaces

Registration on Athertonians Blog increases by three per day
Original post made by Real Questions, Atherton: other, on Nov 2, 2012
The most recent post is not an anonymous or a mean spirited misstatement. Council Members Widmer, McKeithen, and Dobbie (WMD) have made videos, issued press releases, written a guest opinion- "Police union's robocall intimidates residents", and been quoted in the Almanac in the story: "Atherton police association tactics under fire in election."
Actions to intimidate voters are felonies, yet no police reports were filed, which would make for "verifiable facts".
During this time registration activity on the Athertonian's Blog has bee averaging three residents per day for the last three weeks.
The blog allows Athertonians to form their own opinions which may not agree with WDM and question how they are spending taxpayer dollars.
The recent post and disagreement is a comment with questions on a letter the Mayor sent out regarding the APOA from Don Way of Patricia Ave.
"November 1, 2012
October 31 we received a letter dated October 18 from "The Mayor" (no name) of Atherton.
We believe the mailing to be a misuse of taxpayer dollars for political purposes. If the Mayor does not like the people (Elizabeth Lewis and Cary Wiest) the APOA endorsed for council, he should have to use his own campaign funds to promulgate his beliefs just as the Atherton Police Officers Association did. The Mayor needs to be a statesman.
Referring to our police as people who issue unspecified "misleading statements" is not statesmanship.
What can be his agenda? Is it to go into negotiations next year in hostility so that he can walk from the talk and justify outsourcing? Is it to get his candidates elected?
Among other questions my wife and I would like to see answered publicly:
1. The letter was unsigned. Is the Mayor representing the entire Council? Did the whole council approve his message?
2. How about informal or sub-committee discussions on local policing? I just do not believe there have been no communications with APOA.
3. Incomplete budget information was given regarding our police force - how about comparing staffing and response rates to last year, not to half a decade ago?
Already the next question is on the table.
The Almanac reports that regarding Library campaign fundraising that:
"The state-mandated campaign report shows that by Oct. 20, total contributions to the Friends of Holbrook-Palmer Park Supporting Measure F totaled $6,875… The campaign had, however, spent $22,529.
The questions are already being posted: Who gives a campaign $14,000 in credit? Where is the money going to come from? The ballot measure is signed by Widmer, Dobbie, and McKeithen-- Denise Kupperman is the largest donor at $1000.00 with McKeithen at $500.00. Can any of the four provide a comment?
Hopefully Ms. Legallet does not think it mean spirited if someone on the Athertonians' blog asks where the extra $14,000 is going to come from?

To Yeah, but..
Hear is a recent differing opinion that was posted by a Supporter of Measure F and the Athertonians Moderators response:
1. Walter Sleeth October 29, 2012 9:52 PM
Dear Fellow Residents:
The Email forwarded by chev46<email@example.com incorrectly interprets the EIR. The continued fall back to scare tactics by those on the 'No' side of this issue is a travesty to civil political dialogue.
Walter Sleeth
Athertonians ModeratorOctober 29, 2012 10:53 PM
The only abuse we are finding is the uncivil way that you continually describe positions that don't suit you with phrases like "scare tactics" and "travesty to civil political dialogue." Furthermore, there are no "allegations" made by the above post, so your characterization in itself is inflammatory. We happen to consider it a service to the town's ability to weigh the truth to get access to facts that were not in conformance with the majority view, and were withheld from the public.
If you resort to insults and inappropriate characterizations, your comments will be removed.
Thank you for your understanding.
a resident of Atherton: West Atherton
on Nov 3, 2012 at 1:29 pm
As I said, there is a threat of removal,
Where are the threats to remove the comments attacking "WMD"?
Bunch of hypocrites.
a resident of Atherton: other
on Nov 3, 2012 at 5:15 pm
Your earlier point was don't people just get kicked out. Walter Sleeth has not been kicked out. I gave you a specific example.
If you have a specific post, put it up here and let's discuss. The post from Don Way asks the Mayor to answer questions.,
