I was expecting more when we arrived. I read the comments from two years ago and was expecting what they had written/ experienced. The flat was pretty dirty (especially the kitchen), very old, and the family upstairs were pretty noisy in the mornings.
I didn't mind the flat, but my family complained the entire time.
We had a great stay at that beautyful appartment in amazing Brooklyn! We really can recommend it. Thank you very much for everything, Karen.
We spent one week at the appartment and had a very good time. The flat is close to the Kingston Ave subway station. Everything was working well including the wifi. Karen took care whenever we needed something. We can strongly recommend the flat.
Karen and her husband were very nice hosts. On the day of our arrival, Karen did show us arround and gave us some great informations about Brooklyn. The location of the flat was fine, took about 10 min from the subway station Kingston Ave to go to the flat. The area arround provides all you need, supermarkt, diners, some small corner stores etc. Would recommend it!
Accommodation was very clean, very complete, nearby local transportation. lively neighbourhood, we felt very safe walking around in this area. Host Karen was very friendly and helpful, she told us a lot of inside information about Brooklyn, she was in the appartment when we arrived and was also there when we left, we did appreciate this very much.
We really enjoyed our stay in Karen's appartment. The place was clena, close to the subway and safe. Karen and David were very helpful and kind. We look forward to coming back again.
We had a wonderful stay in Karen's and David's apartment in Brooklyn.
The place is large, comfortable and quiet. The area is very safe and pleasant.
It was our first trip to NYC ; discovering this amazing and fascinating city and having in addition the possibility to live in a such a nice place made this stay absolutely perfect.
We would like to thank Karen and David so much for being so kind, friendly and helpful, and we do hope to come again soon !

We had a wonderful stay in this aparmtent! It was big enough for all four of us. Everything was clean and comfortable and it was great to have wifi in the room. I would recommend this place for sure, and it was also easy getting to the subway (10 minutes walk) and to get food (supermarket & restaurants) around there.
Our personal highlight was definitely the large terrace.
Karen and her husband David were incredible! Both are extremely helpful and very hospitable!
If we get the chance to come to New York again, we definitely would stay here again.
They have given us an unforgettable holiday. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
We had a wonderful time in Karen and David's apartment. It was big enough for a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids, with everything we needed. It is in a nice quiet neighbourhood, we felt safe and shops are nearby. It is well connected and only 10 min walk to the trains. Both David and Karen were very helpful. David waited up until late to help us. Gave us all the information that we needed and even showed us around. It is a good place to stay also if you have children.
Our stay at Bergen St was very nice and we enjoyed it very much. Karen and her family where very friendly and caring. The area around the house is at first sight a little confusing. It looks like kind of a dangerous place. But actually it is pretty safe. Be attentive like everywhere. We felt comftable in the hood very fast. There are a couple grocery stores close to the aptartement. We recommend Super Foodtown at Fulton St. All in all we highly recommend to stay at Bergen St!

If you smell citrus as you're driving down a road in southeastern Iowa next spring, it's probably because Chris Henze and his crew are battling Japanese knotweed with a concoction that smells like lemon.
They're using a highly specialized herbicide-application technique — invert emulsion — to attack infestations without jeopardizing desirable plants along the right of way or crops growing beyond nearby fences. Instead of the surfactant becoming liquid to match the properties of the herbicide, the herbicide thickens to the consistency of the lemon oil so the mix sticks only to its target.
"We don't have large infestations acre-wise, but we have 16 that cover several hundred feet and keep spreading each year," says Henze, weed commissioner for the Johnson County Secondary Road Department. "If we don't flag them, our operators will mow the knotweed along with everything else in the right of way, which spreads the rhizomes and leads to new infestations."
When Japanese knotweed moves in, wildflowers, low-growing grasses, and shrubs are completely overshadowed by a dense canopy, disrupting the local ecosystem by eliminating native plant species altogether. The knotweed thickets shroud driveway and intersection sightlines along some stretches of road, endangering drivers. Even though farmers have fought back with standard pesticides, Polygonum cuspidatum crept further into rights of way and across fences into farmland.
The department's goal was to stop the advancement without damaging neighboring property, row crops, aquatic areas, or ecosystems.
A general broadcast application would be inefficient because the overall acreage is a tiny percentage of the total roadway miles the department maintains. To identify the right herbicide and application technique, Henze turned to Chemo-Trol Inc. in Kansas City, Kan., a quality vegetation management certified applicator he's worked with in the past.
Because many of the infested ditch areas carry water during wet seasons, the company recommended that BASF's Habitat be applied via invert emulsion. Habitat is labeled for use in aquatic settings and eliminates spread of the weed by controlling it from the roots and rhizomes up; and mixing it with a surfactant — in this case a heavy lemon oil — would form a much denser substance as it leaves the nozzle.
"The liquid herbicide inverts from the droplet form you'd find in a regular spray to a thicker substance, a lot like mayonnaise in consistency," says Steve Hansen, Chem-Trol's representative in Iowa City. The use of invert emulsion varies by region, weather patterns, and the type of land management goal in question; i.e., whether it's to maintain site clearance, maintain stormwater flows in a culvert, or prevent invasive species from encroaching on native species. The application can be done by hand and doesn't require a closer proximity than an applicator would need to apply a standard emulsion.
The lemon oil surfactant provides weight and density to the tank mix, allowing applicators to zero in on areas of infestation where crops or other desirable vegetation are nearby. It also sticks to and covers leaves and stems, driving the active ingredient into roots.
The treatments are conducted using a hand sprayer attached to a truck tank. "Our goal is to keep applications at zero-drift level," Henze says.
Johnson County has had the most success when applied in early spring.
"In smaller, younger patches, we've been able to eliminate Japanese knotweed in just two years of treatment," Henze says.
During the dormant season, crews often burn off the litter to make way for next year's treatment. "Doing a burn in the fall gives us better access to sprouts that come up in the spring. If none appear, we can reseed or let native plants get better access to sunlight and soil nutrients," Henze adds.
After the burn, crews reseed native warm-season grasses such as Canada wild rye and big and little bluestem as well as wildflowers such as black-eyed Susan and partridge pea.
Residents like the restored landscape almost as much as the wildlife.
"When we added the spray program, we were a little worried about how landowners would feel about it," Henze says. "But they've responded very well, and we make every effort to keep them informed about the treatments."
— Blair is a sales specialist for BASF Professional Vegetation Management. He recently served on the board of the National Roadside Vegetation Management Association.

The organisers of the Grammy awards have warned the stars due to converge at New York's Staples Centre on Monday for the annual music industry shindig against donning thong-type costumes that reveal the bare fleshy under-curves of the buttocks or the under-curvature of breasts.
The event - where New Zealand's own Kimbra is on the nominee list for her featured role on the Gotye hit Somebody That I Used to Know which is up for record of the year - has become notorious for the outrageous dresses - or lack thereof - sported by attendees. In 2010, Pink gyrated on stage in a nude bodysuit, while Lady Gaga once performed in a glittering green leotard. In 2000, Jennifer Lopez triggered headlines after she wore a revealing Versace dress to the event. A year later, Toni Braxton was seen in a dress that the New York Post described as loincloth-esque.
But this year, the organisers at CBS have decided that some things are better left to the imagination, sending out a Wardrobe Advisory warning stars to avoid problematic costumes.
"Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered," it solemnly reads. "Thong-type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under-curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible puffy bare skin exposure."
If anyone was left in any doubt, the advisory, which was first uncovered by Deadline.com, goes on to warn that: "OBSCENITY OR PARTIAL SEEN OBSCENITY ON WARDROBE IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR BROADCAST."
Those wondering why CBS decided to issue the guidelines may find an answer in the infamous, though fleeting, Janet Jackson breast-baring wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl.
The incident led the Federal Communications Commission to slap a US$550,000 fine on the network. It was overturned on appeal - but only because the US Supreme Court found the FCC had not been clear about the bounds of decency. That has since been remedied; in the words of Chief Justice John Roberts: "It is now clear that the brevity of an indecent broadcast cannot immunise it from FCC censure."Independent

There are so many future beekeepers getting packages and worrying about the weather. The cold may kill your bees and you might have to buy more. What I need is a free source for bees. My latest endeavor was to volunteer my labor to the busiest beekeeper in the East Texas area. I told him I would help him with five eradications in the hope of getting bees for the hive I built. Yesterday he called me about one, but had help and little hope of saving the bees. This time he was being paid to use a bucket truck (cherry picker) to cut into a roof on a very expensive home. As much as he hates it, sometimes he has to also be an exterminator. The bees in my area (south of Dallas) had a short winter and are already swarming. I just need a swarm rather than an established colony that would have to be cut out. I'll cross my fingers you have better weather if you will do the same for me to get a good swarm.
Do any of you know a better way to get cheep or free packages?

"There's not much of an appetite for deficit reduction," said Bob Bixby of the Concord Coalition, which pushes for "responsible fiscal policy."
There might be a few small steps this year, he said, when the government again needs to raise its borrowing limit. But a "grand bargain" involving significant spending cuts and revenue increases seems unlikely, Bixby said.
He added, "It's a little depressing to hear the reactions to the president's budget, from both sides."

Johanna Rothman received a variety of responses to her recent writing on agile architecture. In this article, she attempts to clarify her case for having an architect on some—but not all—agile programs, depending on a number of factors.
I've been blogging about agile architecture, and the responses have been fascinating. Some people are totally against the idea of an agile architect, regardless of the size of the program. Others are ready to give me the benefit of the doubt. In this column, let me clarify the case for (or against) the job-titled agile architect.
As with all interesting questions, the only correct answer is "It depends." It depends on the size of your program, how architecturally complex the product is, the desired speed of release, how long you have been practicing agile, how much technical debt you have, and how distributed your program is.
Programs Are Different from Projects
A project is a unique and novel effort, characterized by risk. It has a beginning and an end. A program is the organizational coordination of several projects' results into one deliverable, which has value to the organization. So, while each project has its own risk, the program has the strategic risk for the organization.
Programs may continue for several releases of the product or system. Programs are large, and one thing we know about software is that it does not linearly scale. What works for a small project or for one team does not work for eight, twenty-five, or forty-two teams.
Program Size Is a Factor
One factor in considering whether you need a formal architecture role on your program is the program size. How many total people do you have? The reason to consider the total number of people is because of the communication paths in the teams and among the teams.
Assume you have seven-person teams. We know that the communication paths inside a team are (N*N-N)/2 which works out to twenty-one paths for a seven-person team. If you have two or three teams, the teams may still be able to build informal communication paths among themselves to share architectural knowledge.
Once you have four to seven teams, you are at the hairy edge of what teams can do informally. I have seen several programs work successfully without a formal architect role and one spectacular failure. I have seen two programs work successfully with three architects participating on feature teams and as architects on the programs. Clearly, your mileage will vary.
On programs with eight teams or more, I strongly suggest you have an architect team, who participate both as part of the feature teams and as architects. Agile architects write code, test, and look ahead just a little to smooth the way for the feature teams.
How Complex Is Your Product
Organizations normally use programs to create "complex" products in the sense that the technical team has more or less opportunity to refactor as they develop the product. (Product complexity might not be the right term here, but it's the best term I have right now. Let me know what term you would use in the comments below.) Within that notion, there are more-complex and less-complex products. That complexity allows you to make architectural decisions more often or less often.
Figure 1 shows one way you might think about product complexity and product type.
Figure 1: Product complexity and opportunity to rearchitect and refactor
User Comments
One way to focus on architecture is to consider system requirements, as suggested by Julian Browne http://www.julianbrowne.com/article/viewer/systemic-requirements and of course Tom Gilb http://www.gilb.com/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=47
We need to be aware that design choices can end up being an "architecture by default". When we are aware of this, and can act to make a difference, we contribute to better systems - whatever our job titles.

What do you consider to sufficient amounts of ammo to stock for your rifles? Pistols?
Printable View
What do you consider to sufficient amounts of ammo to stock for your rifles? Pistols?
"Sufficient" for what? The answer for "no more available, better stock a lifetime supply" versus "how much do you keep on hand for weekend range visits before you re-order next month" is gonna vary a lot. Also, what is the purpose and caliber of the firearms? The .30-06 bolt action deer rifle may get a whole box of 20 shot through it every year between pre-hunt sight verification and the actual hunt, a few hundred rounds would be an almost lifetime supply for that gun and the tasks it is normally used for. A belt fed 1919A4 with a crankfire attachment? Real easy to go through a thousand rounds in an afternoon, that's just 4 belts.
Pistol ammo about 500rds per pistol of that size.
Rifle ammo about 1000 to 1500rds per rifle of that size.
Or what ever you can pack if you need to bug-out.
I agree with the last post. 500 pistol and 1000-1500 rifle is a good start. i also keep at least 250 00buck stocked with a random assortment of shot as well as a few boxes of slugs, too. 12ga ammo is some of the most prevalent inthe world and will be easy to find.
i also stock pile cases of the federal .22lr ammo. i also shoot the daylights out of my marlin.22 anyways
I also have a marlin.17 hm2 with 500 rounds on hand .
then again, carrying all of this, along with guns, will be very difficult if we have to dip out in a hurry.
From a purely survival standpoint, its wise to have a pellet rifle.
I know that it sounds silly,but i also keep a ton of .177 and .22 air rifle ammo on hand if I need to hunt for food and don't want all of the noise that comes with a powder burner.(to keep your position concealed)also for those pesky squirrells and raccoons too.
i think of having ammo as not only a defensive measure, but for trading and bartering if the world goes down the toilet and we all have to fend for ourselves for water, food and shelter, etc.
This may sound unpopular, but when the fit hits the shan, I expect that the ak47 will become nothing more than a really cool paperweight due to ammo constraints after the dust has settled. look at 7.62 ammo now-hard to get and really expensive. Almost ALL of it is imported. so i keep multiple caliber rifles in my home with enough ammo for all of them. My doctrine has changed in the past 6 months. Instead of buying cool new guns, i now spend that money to keep the ones that i have fed!
stick with the 30-.06, 12 and 20 ga shotgun and .22 lr ammo. .45 acp and 9mm, .38 ammo have all been around for decades and can be found almost anywhere.
just my rant:rant:
I have found that the amount of ammo that you can afford is probably the best reply to the question. I have failed in that at least one time; back when we could get 8mm for pennies I only bought a few thousand rounds... I have regretted it ever since. Remember that some calibers will become harder to get ammo for. I remember the day when we thought we were getting ripped off for 7.62x39 at $70.00 , and last month I purchased 3k rounds at $179.00 per case... it could well be that the ammo will dry up as it did for the 8mm or rise significantly like the .223 or other rounds.
I want to recreationally shoot long term, and see ammo prices going up and availability going down. My goal is 1,000 rounds stored per long gun and pistol, with 10,000 rounds per .22. Aim for a high percentage of reloadable brass in your stockpile. I periodically swap out ammo to keep it fresh.
Bug out? I guess if you hear over the tube type radio that survived the EMP that a massive ground force was moving in you direction. You would Bug out someway with the UZI, a couple of the AK's, several of the AR15's plus, several of your pistols. Every mag stuffed with one in the chaimber too. That quick escape ammo crate should have several boxes of the ammo for all of these weapons. If you know early enough to pack more. Grab the MAUSER and a case of 8mm too for the run. That one can hold off plenty of melons coming at you. The one next to them sees there Head/melon explode and they pull back.
Solar panels with a good series regulator will keep you able to listen to news. Forget about transmitting. They can set your point in a minute for Artillery.
Canned food and an opener. A couple of good sharp knives. Something that can hold water.
In the city or in the out and open? I don't know which would be best? Lots of cover in the city. Lots of other targets besides you.
At the farm, clear open line of fire. You would be the only target. Attractive point for the enemy to occupy a safe point away from police and military.
The most important thing is to keep your wits about you! Don't just start shooting at folks you see walking around with weapons. Those folks can be your allies?
If you have to take some enemy out, drop their communications first. And then, nail long range weapons implacements. AND TRY NOT TO BE NOTICED!!!! Keep your position covered.
Obtain some gas masks and have for last resort use. Extra filters are a must have item. Know how to deploy these mask under stressed conditions.
If you have kids, please teach them how to load mags and dress wounds.
GOD help the elderly which will be left behind helpless.
Yes the prices for ammo and defence articles have gone way up. But, it is better to sting a bit now and get it. After the democrats win later this year, we will be on a straight down crash in almost every way toward dissolution of this country.
Too many are standing with their hand out voting for someone who will promiss to carry them on the working man's dollars.
It is great to see all of you thinking ahead for the times that are coming. It just may be possible for some of us to survive and regroup as a nation like this once was again? However, it is going to cost a lot to do again.
I finally got my wife to come out with me and the other guys(along with their wives). My wife took to shooting like a duck to water.
The other wives sat out after pulling the .40 trigger twice.
She got my mossy 590 pump, rem 700 .308, WASR10, .357 magnum, .17 Marlin, XD40, Ruger 9mm and 1911 .45acp.
My 4 year old even shot a ruger mark2 .22lr a few times and loved it.
Teach your loved ones to use and respect firearms. It may save their lives one day.
Nobody should be afraid of guns, be afraid of the nutjob pointing the gun at you.
Well said. With that, .22lr "bulk ammo" (sold in the 500-550 count boxes-Walmart) are very cheaply made and should not be considered reliable by any means. These are meant for plinking and target applications.
I CANNOT begin to tell you how many times I have had a squirrel in my sights, only to pull the trigger and a loud "click" gives my position away.
The unreliable nature of these rounds can be attributed to lax manufacturing standards as well as the fact that they do not always have a fixed amount of primer in the bottom of the rimfire shell.The nature of rimfire ammo also makes them more succeptable to moisture. I used to keep a spare box (about 40 shells CCI) in the garage, untill I tried using them a year later.
EVEry single one of these shells left the barrel with little more than the power of a thrown rock. They made a very muffled, retarded "pop", not the crisp SNAP" that a .22 should make. These rounds did not penetrate the untreated 2x4 that I aimed at, they all bounced off. I have moved all ammo inside, and into waterproof ammo boxes along with the other emergency supplies.
Before a shoot, I purchase a new box of whatever shells I will be using, and take the older stock with me to shoot(replacing it with the new box).
I have since repeated this experiment with Remington and federal-all with the same results....."duds"
CCI, Hornady, remington, Federal etc-sold in the smaller packs are a much better choice. Not like you'll ever need to use a .22lr for self defense(hopefully), but If you were presented with a survival situation and had to feed your family, every meal that gets away, may never return.
I don't buy any CCI anything!!!!

I was unable to attend Tierney's Wharton Leadership Lunch at the University of Pennsylvania. Fortunately, I am a close friend with someone who did. This anonymous writer is well grounded in the disciplines of business, politics, economics, and the business of journalism.
These are his thoughts, presented without any of my commentary (previously).
Brian Tierney — CEO of Philadelphia Media Holdings, CEO and Publisher of The Philadelphia Inquirer, and CEO of The Philadelphia Daily News — visited the University of Pennsylvania today for a "Leadership Lunch" with undergraduate students. He arrived 20 minutes late, bustling and jovial, no apology. His public relations background shows; he is an optimistic, outsized media personality, all confident and energetic. He uses the pronouns "my" and "I" often, very few references to the credit due his employees or co-investors — except editor William Marimow, to whom we will return. (Perhaps, given the current state of the company, they are grateful that he takes all the credit.)
Tierney opened with a brief biography, then segued into the challenges of the Inquirer and Daily News. Continue reading →

I'm not sure if I can go second weekend for the finals. Is anyone else planning to go? The draw schedule is here: http://www.curling.ca/championships/worlds/drawschedule/ The first time I saw curling live was at the 2005 Men's Worlds, which opened the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre.

To me, it would look great in an old rustic cabin! The whole top is done in flannels. Pieced on my FW and Pfaff 1222e. I did not put flannel on the back. I used ric rack as basket handles and did trapunto with the hearts!

Re: Ask me a cooking question
You and your team use a variety of enamelware baking trays, most recently I have seen a lovely large rectangular one, quite shallow, and white with blue trim. Can you tell me where I can find trays like that? I've been searching the internet a bit, but not having much luck.
Much love from Florida

Hi Jamie,
I'm doing drink and canapes for 25 people in 2 weeks time! Do you have any good canape ideas and punch recipes (non alcoholic)?
Ps. Just wanted to say you are a legend! Your cooking is always inspiring, effortless and rustic. And you taught me to cook!

Hi Rosie L and welcome. It would help us to help you if you could let us know where in the world you are as we come from all over the world and there are huge seasonal variations between our various countries.
Also, is it a formal or informal occasion and are there any dietary concerns?
Look forward to hearing back from you .

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hi Jamie
Do you have any plans to bring out a Christmas cook book?
What about one of your little short books for Friday night feast?
I used to use short cuts & cheats for cooking, I bought lots of things ready made.
I watched you on ministry of food, I now love cooking, I cook everything from scratch & have all your books :-)
Been to Jamies Italian in Brighton too :-)
Thank you Jamie.

Commonwealth must ensure media access for CHOGM
Dear Secretary-General Kamalesh Sharma: The Committee to Protect Journalists is concerned about press accreditation procedures for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting that will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in November. At past meetings, the Commonwealth's Communications and Public Affairs Division has been responsible for issuing permission to journalists to attend the meeting.

Word of wisdom I tell all my MSF grads and new riders... "It's your FIRST bike.... not your last."
In other words, don't over-think (cc's, carbs, whatever... really doesn't make that much of a difference)
And don't over-buy (cheap bikes don't depreciate... buy cheap, sell cheap.)
Nothing says you have to keep what you buy for more than a few months if you don't like it.
I've read tons of thread/posts on starter bikes. The SV650 is universally not suggested as a starter bike, but it's also not usually excluded as one either.
As I've read many opinions on starting on one, I'd like to see what ya'll think about it. I've come to know that many of you have a lot of experience and I actually trust your guys' opinions more than most. I know the front shocks are usually craptacular (at least when you start pushing the bike). I'm not too concerned about that. There's way too many gravel/sand/debris variables on any road i could 'carve' around here so all turns have to been taken with apprehension. I won't be pushing lean hard in these parts, it's just flat out not safe to do so.
Thing is, I want FI. I live in Wisconsin and work 3rd shift. This means a ton of 7 a.m. starts. I don't want to have to pop full choke for 5 minutes before I can ride. This leaves few options for a starter:
CBR250: Won't buy. Too many say it's weak and I have qualms about thumpers (Duke 390 looks pretty bad-ass though, ain't gonna lie, heh).
Ninja 300: My current top option. Local dealer will give me high 2,000's trade in for my Genuine Blur scooter. (4800 MSRP)
SV650: 2003+ for FI. Have found a TON of them around me for mid 3,000's. Various mileage. These dealer's, however, probably won't give me more than 2-2.5k for my scooter. Plus side is my local dealer is a Suzuki dealer, so servicing will be a non-issue.
So it drops down to a new Ninja 300 or a used SV with FI for now. The new Honda 500's don't really excite me for their price. GW250 looks pretty nice, but I'm not sure it'll handle the freeway properly for what I need (45 Minute Commute. 18 miles or so Freeway).
TL;DR Is the SV650 too much bike for someone who only has 2k miles experience on a scooter and only 10 hours of MSF training on a shifter?
Starting a carbureted bike in the winter is a real killer; even moreso in Wisconsin than New Jersey. I'll give you that. When I had the 250 (old model), it needed to be above 45 degrees for the bike to start.
I think the Ninja 300 is fuel injected. I'd urge you to consider that.
I think your experience on the scooter helps you a bit, but not as much as you'd think. You've probably learned some of the paranoid defensive driving habits required to survive on two wheels, but I'm not sure you've learned throttle control with a 50cc engine or some of the details of taking curves yet.
|When I had the 250 (old model), it needed to be above 45 degrees for the bike to start.

|Honda CBR500R is a good choice. New for this year.
If life has taught me one thing well, its "Never Buy ANYTHING new for this year". Not a Ninja300, not a CBR500, nothing. Same is true with cars and electronics. Let some other fool open their wallet to be the R/D guinea pig. Once all the failures, weaknesses and recalls are hammered out, buy the 2nd/3rd gen.
|You should have tended to your carbs(or battery?) alittle better. I've gone round and round for years with the carbs on my late Ninja 500, and my current 93 ZX6E(both with the same Keihin carbs as your 250 I believe). Both bikes were able to start WELL under freezing.
Its my firm belief that anyone who bitches and moans and under-rates carbs are people that are ignorant in the mechanics of their machine, and in general know nothing about carbs or how to maintain/repair/tune 'em.

Let some other fool open their wallet to be the R/D guinea pig. Once all the failures, weaknesses and recalls are hammered out, buy the 2nd/3rd gen.
As much as I'd like an FI bike, I'm not totally opposed to a Ninja 500 at the right price. In fact, there is one at my local dealer. 2007 Ninja 500. 11k miles. Asking 2900. No marks on the plastics or otherwise that it has been dropped. This would be the smartest choice imo. Asking price is near my trade-in value so wouldn't have much effect on my loan other than another finance charge.
Whatever bike I get, I plan on getting a shop manual and learning a bit. The only issue is, I have no garage. There's no pulling it inside when it's cold. I work on it in the driveway and that's it.
|I've been going back and forth constantly. One week, I'm thinking a used SV would be a good buy. Another, I'm thinking a new 300 under warranty would be perfect. Week after that I'm thinking a Ninja 500 would be nice and the carbs wouldn't be an issue.
Singram, a 250 struggles to turn over below freezing let alone getting around to worrying about the carbs.
So in other words, what you're really saying is that carbs require a bit of work and specific knowledge that isn't required quite as much of fuel injection. Good, we agree. We just disagree on how much.
We haven't yet mentioned the fact that the carbs are BURIED in the depths of the Ninja 250 (at least the old model) if you ever want to get them out for a total cleaning. This is not working on some '66 Corvette where you can take off the air filter and watch a stream of gasoline get sucked into the engine. This is taking half the bike apart, piece by piece, so you can move the back fender to move the battery box to move the air filter box, so you can get a wrench in there and undo four power-wrenched nuts, so you can get the carbs out to do a deep cleaning. Then carefully put all 30 similar looking screws back on to reassemble the bike. God help you if you messed something up and have to take everything back off. God help you if you lose one of those thirty screws and need to order one (The local dealer probably won't have it in stock; they didn't even have a clutch cable, a commonly used part, when I replaced mine a few years ago.) Or you can have a mechanic do it for you for ~$500+.
For those of us who ride motorcycles but do not LIVE motorcycles, the carbs on the Ninja 250 are a real bitch to deal with. I am guessing that it will be similar for a Ninja 500 and the new Ninja 250, but I could be wrong.
I don't disagree with your overall point. Carbs aren't that complicated and in all honesty I am a mechanically helpless yuppie who can do little more than change a clutch cable and the oil/oil filter and try to figure out where the other fluids go. On a good day, I can drain carb float bowls, replace a burnt out signal bulb, and maybe change the spark plugs if I'm lucky. Carbs are probably the most straightforward mechanical problem on a motorcycle that I can't deal with; they're sure as heck easier than trying to find a short. However, the Ninja 250 makes working on the carbs hell if you need to do a deep clean after 2-3 winters. To get a Ninja 250 through three years of regular use, you will need to learn how to do all of this, and you'll still need to visit the mechanic to change the chain and the rear tires. (I also have them handle the front tires; installing tires scares the heck out of me.)
To get a well-designed fuel injected bike through three years of regular use, it's a bit less work. It requires a lot less thinking. That's thinking and time and weekends that you can apply to your job or to riding or to other fun stuff.
It also looks like the Ninja 500 website agrees with me:
Carburetor Maintenance - EX-500.com
Carb maintenance "dominates the mechanical time you spend on your bike". In other words, want to spend fewer precious weekends cleaning carbs and more weekends riding? Get fuel injection!
You raise a good point here. Should you go with the devil you know or the devil you don't know?
The CBR 250 is about to be in its third model year and it's fuel injected. Maybe that's an option too.
OP, as you can see, owning a motorcycle requires a certain degree of mechanical commitment and on top of that still just as much time spent at the mechanic's shop, mile per mile. Instead of changing the oil every 6,000 miles, which you do yourself at home, you're getting new tires, or getting a new chain, or getting the 6,000 mile service as per the manual.
|There is also some old wive's tale about this special carburetor cleaner fluid you can put in your gas tank that won't damage the Ninja 250's carburetor that will give you a partial but not complete cleaning.

Community mourns Columbia woman's death
The 63 Diner to donate proceeds Saturday to Heather Cole's family
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The community is left grieving after 20-year-old Heather Cole was killed Friday morning after her car collided with a tractor-trailer on Interstate 70.
Her passenger, 20-year-old Sara Buxton, is still in critical condition.
Those who knew Cole best remember her as a sweet, dedicated girl who would do anything for someone else.
Her coworkers at 63 Diner and Buckingham's Smokehouse BBQ were shocked to hear the news of her death, and took to social media to share their favorite memories of her.
Cole hasn't worked at Tiger Tots for over a year and a half, but her former boss, Paul Prevo, still remembers her fondly.
"There was one time a child came in who didn't speak English as his first language. So when Heather put him down for a nap, she used her phone to look up about 50 words in Chinese so she and the other caretakers could better communicate with him," he said.
Prevo said this story was indicative of her personality. He remembers her as loving, caring, and dedicated with a passion for art.
He and Cole's other coworkers are upset she died so young, because she had big dreams left unfulfilled.
"She wanted to be a teacher," Prevo said. "She'd be great for it. She has a big heart."
63 Diner will be holding a special event honoring Cole on Saturday. The diner will be serving her favorite food: macaroni and cheese with hot dogs and grilled cornbread.
The proceeds will benefit the Cole family.

Easy User CSS
(作成者: BS-Harou)
I think the name tells a lot about extension's functionality. Before this extension you had to create new file for every site where you wanted to have User CSS. Thanks to my extension you can just click on a button, write the css rules and press "save" - that's all! You can also use "Live preview" that shows the effect of styling immediately during writing the CSS rules.
- Grey background of textarea means, that it's not possible to edit the User CSS (sites loaded before you installed this extension, speeddial, etc...). If the background is grey on regular site, try to reload the site.
- Extensions might not work on sites with dynamically created iframes
- Even with "Live preview" turned on, you have to use "save" button for permanent changes!!
- この拡張機能は、複数のウェブサイトに対して機能の変更や追加を行えます。
現在のバージョン (1)
I very like this extension and I use it a lot, but, I've got a problem. My society change URL location of a website that I reskined by transforming HTTP in HTTPS (eg: http://www.hello.com/ => https://www.hello.com/ (httpS)) and they redirect access HTTP to HTTPS automatically. So it is not possible for me to access to the older website, and then *I cannot retrieve my old CSS skin* :'(.
So, ow could I retrieve my old CSS style to apply it on the new location? Where data are stored?
Thank you!
Hi, data are stored in localStorage (per domain). I'm not sure where Opera stores it on HDD. I'll try to find out.

When using duckduckgo.com with this extension enabled, it generated a bug in the site. After getting in touch with the duckduckgo team I was able to track down the source of the bug. It happens in the "handleLoad" function, when the message is posted to the iframe.
This bug makes the extension (which is very good) unusable for users of duckduckgo (which is excelent).

Doesn't work in phpMyAdmin, probably because of using frames. I tried to make font in left menu (tables list) bigger and it works only when menu is displayed directly (not in frame).

Minor live preview bug: When you forget to hit "Save" and just close the extension window, changes are (like expected) not saved but they are not rolled back, i.e. the page stays styled until you re-open Easy CSS and enter something new.
I think they should be rolled back, or present behavior documented.
Feature request: It'd be cool though for changes to be saved automatically at least for the lifetime of current page. I.e. if you close the extension window and then re-open it, changes are still there (although not saved permanently, and marked as *UNSAVED*).
Thank you for this great extension!

What It Was Like Living On London Time In New York

I changed all my clocks to London time. My iPhone, my iPad, my computers (both at home and at work) -- everything was five hours ahead. It all started out swimmingly. I'd get up by 9 or 10 a.m. London time (4 or 5 a.m. New York time). I'd go to work on an uncrowded subway and eerily calm New York streets.

The Destination
When your mind is as idle as Beantown traffic, follow the thousands of artists and writers who looked to the coast for inspiration and book it to the Lower Cape. Everywhere you turn could be a scene from a postcard, with sandy shorelines, stalwart lighthouses, and sails flapping in the wind. Large swaths of protected land and historic seaside communities generally escape the snarled traffic and trappings of tourism more common closer to the mainland. The Lower Cape is ready to welcome travelers searching for an authentic experience—Cape Cod as it used to be.
The Digs
The 19th-century Inn at the Oaks—a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence winner in Eastham—has a literary legacy of its own: Naturalist writer Henry Beston stayed at the historic property in the 1920s while penning his classic The Outermost House. Painted a sunny canary hue with a gracious porch wrapping around its exterior, the inn contains 13 guest rooms individually appointed with antique furnishings, private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and Wi-Fi.
The Diversions
• Rent some wheels from Little Capistrano Bike Shop
• Pedal around the Cape using a map of literary sites as your guide
• Set up a complimentary umbrella and beach chairs on famed Coast Guard Beach
• Snack on a basket of fried clams at landmark Arnold's Lobster & Clam Bar
"Exceeded all of our expectations and more. This charming house has character. Food was fresh and yummy. Only regret was we couldn't stay longer. Definitely recommend Inn at the Oaks if you're in Cape Cod."-- TripAdvisor

journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
can i call you joe?
this is off topic for this thread, but i see that you have a background in bee genetics.
i raised the point on another thread that it would be statistically unlikey for two individual bees in a given colony to have the exact same genotype. another poster disagreed.
can you help us settle this?
assume a colony of 60,000 bees, and the queen has mated with 15 drones.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Joe is fine, I am pretty informal.
DeGroot specified specific ratios for optimal efficiency. I agree with that, but keep in mind that when dealing with biological systems, things change. Perhaps another way of looking at it is the system is only as efficient as the limiting ingredient. From a nutritional standpoint, there are many nutrients, not just amino acids. That is why I say amino acids are pretty easy and cheap to supply, but vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids are just as important at allowing the metabolic pathways to function properly. Unfortunately, I think a lot of diets do not take this into consideration and focus on just a handful of nutrients, when the picture is much bigger.
In talking with beekeepers, they see the sub formula that I posted and say it is too simple, it cant be that simple. It can be for most of it, but there is that 1.5% of the premix that balances out approximately 30 vitamins and minerals for the rest of the diet. It seems like such a small amount, but is really important to allow all of the pathways to function properly.
I think your side discussion is pretty easy to clarify. You are correct. We can use Single Drone Inseminations to produce colonies of Super Sisters for research. This means workers share 75% percent of the genetic material in common, which is pretty extreme. When you consider the other 25% of the genetic makeup and how much that can vary due to recombination, etc., It is highly unlikely that two workers would ever be genetically identical.
excellent and informative reply there joe. thanks!
i'll need to get the particulars off of your website, but are you saying that you're a making a premix available that can be added to common ingredients to come up with a balanced feeding supplement?

website says 'yes'. i feel kinda of stupid for not checking it out first joe. for some reason i assumed you were a hobbiest like me trying to come up with a plan. duh...

The biological system no, the outside environment, yes! or in other words , their are additional things in our environment since DeGroot wrote. These things are having an impact on the bees.
Larry Pender,Jubilee HoneyBee Company,Camarillo, CA
Keith and Larry,
So much has changed since DeGroot's initial work published back in the 50's yet his numbers are still routinely cited today. Today's analytical processes yield different results. It has been a while since I read DeGroot's work, but I believe he looked primarily at amino acid ratios and did not take into account the changing vitamin and mineral levels, which would have had a great influence on the benefit of specific ratios.
In addition, animal nutrition in general has come a long way in the past 60 years. Diets are far more complete as we build our knowledge base. Think back to the bees and even livestock 60 years ago, which was before my time. I think the bees and even livestock back then would have benefitted from the advances in nutrition we have today. Take that one step further and look at how the bees have changed, genetically to meet the demands and management styles we have today. Does anyone still keep bees the way they did 60 years ago? How much pollen sub was fed 60 years ago, and why was it fed back then?
The fields of genetics and nutrition have changed the beekeeping landscape a great deal and try to keep pace with each other. Bigger and more productive colonies under greater stress (from all angles, including beekeepers) require properly formulated diets.
Don't leave us hanging Joe. What's your opinion on hive nutrition as it relates to DeGroot's original numbers? Adequate? Do we need to do more? Or would that just be throwing money away.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Environmental changes for bees could include:
Less access to pollen in general as open space is either developed or gone to woods (we see thjs here in New England)
Attempts to eradicate invasive species that pollinators depend on - not clear if those in favor of eradication understand the role that these plants play for the pollinators (we see this here with purple loosestrife and japanese knotweed)
Less diversity in varieties of pollen when bees are limited to monocultures ( pollen nutrition varies)
Less ability to access nutrition from pollen if pollen has been exposed to fungicides (fungicides can impact the fermentation of pollen into beebread - proper fermentation both creates and releases nutrients necessary for proper larval development)
Bees have co-evolved over millions of years with flowers and the microbes that support both the bees and the plants. Biological systems are flexible or they meet their demise. How flexible is where things get interesting.
Very well stated! My advising professor made it very clear that an experiment involving a biological system must be clearly defined as systems change and are subject to a wide range of variables and influences. Even our best efforts as researchers to limit the number variables and draw conclusions can be challenging. Does anything ever stand still?
I think DeGroot's finding are sound within the context of his research. However, I think we need to go beyond that body of research. An amino acid assay is relatively inexpensive and easy to run, but is only a very small portion of any diet. The point I would like to make is that any nutrient in a diet can be limiting. Supplying the amino acids is fairly simple and inexpensive. I think beekeepers do a good job with regard to protein content, especially by using multiple protein sources. However, the vitamins and minerals needed to drive the metabolic pathways that process the protein sources have been largely overlooked. Perhaps it is because of the time and expense involved to run the assays and feeding trials. Perhaps it is also difficult to think in parts per million (PPM) for a feed ingredient. Although a nutrient is required in such a small amount, it can greatly influence the efficacy of a diet, especially if the nutrient that is lacking is at the beginning of a long cascading pathway.
Interestingly enough, we can actually use lower protein content s and see very good results from a diet provided we balance out all of the nutrients which allows the bees to efficiently utilize the diet they are provided.
Thanks for the reply Joe. I guess, in the final analysis, the question of whether bees are getting the proper nutrition is a simple question with a complex answer. Barring any research showing that too much of a good thing can be bad, perhaps then one should err on the side of too much nutrition as opposed to too little?
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
The Goldilocks and the three bears approach of just right is best. Too much or too little of a good thing can be bad. I think most of us are familiar with the idea of not having enough of something, but there is a growing area of nutritional research that demonstrates the pitfalls of how too much of something can be bad too. I think this is an interesting concept. The idea of ingesting way too much of something and seeing an immediate response is easy to conceptualize, but how the slow, prolonged ingestion of something over a long period of time is harder to conceptualize and quantify.
Then there is the economics of it all. Why pay for something that is not effectively utilized? Other animal industries will attempt to scrape out 1/10 of a percent in increased efficiency from a dietary additive, but I do not see this in beekeeping.
We have programs that you inter the "CA" of each product with it's price per pound then on the other side you have the profile that you are trying to achive, hit the buttom and there you go.
I just have a much different outlook than Joe has. We have been feeding & making sub for over twenty years, we also have a lenthly track record with our own three thousands hives & countless others that prove to us that we are on the right track. What I saw in Joe's first post made my head spin.
I have said enough, good luck to all.
NUTRA-BEE feed supplements
I guess the take away is balanced nutrition. Google as I may I found little information on conclusive studies outlining nutritional needs of Bees as it relates to vitamins,minerals and fats.
If these component are needed to efficiently utilize protein, I would suppose that the best sub would have the target amounts and the balance would be sugar + attractant to get them to take it as fast as possible? Is that a flawed conclusion or over simplistic?
Performance would be regionally depend. Bees here in Florida might not need all the nutrients but would have to ingest them to get to what they required getting too much of some?
Could it be that some colonies would benifit from added nutrients excluding protein in poor pollen quality or monocutural pollen environments ?
Keith brings up an interesting point. Are biologists necessarily nutritionists?
Computer feed formulation models have been around for a long time. I remember when I was a kid and my Dad's department purchased their first computer specifically designed for feed formulation. That was almost 30 years ago. It was bigger than a chest freezer and all it would do is calculate feed formulations. As Keith said you could type in the nutritional profile that was desired specify a cost parameter, if you like and wait for the print out to go mix your feed. The challenge is specifying the desired nutritional profile. The computer can calculate an ingredients list, but it cannot determine the most desirable or optimal formula, that is still up to the research nutritionist.
i noticed that the feeding of protein patties is being done in a big way by the commercial folks, and it is being done in the fall. my guess is for bigger hives going into to winter, resulting in bigger hives for: spring pollination contracts, bees for sale, honey for sale ect.
and it seems to be especially useful to folks who live in an area with little to no natural fall forage.
sorry if i'm getting away from the posted topic again, but my questions are:
is there any advantage to feeding protein patties if i have plenty of natural forage in the fall?
will feeding protein patties in the fall stimulate brood production above what it would be otherwise, at a time when brood rearing is being throttled back for winter?
does feeding cause a decrease in the colonies ability to deal with pests and pathogens as compared to a diet of exclusively natural forage?
i can see how i could help a colony in late winter/early spring 'catch up' if they were weak and low on stores at that time of year, but i'm not sure about the above.
many thanks.

Think about it....Buy American
About the same here in Middlesex county, 22-23". I was supposed to visit with a potential new property owner tomorrow but there's just too much snow to go wading through.
It's supposed to rain Monday.
I never made it to my bee yard today. Digging out all day. 5 foot drifts! Ugh. Hope the bees are doing better than me. The one hive and nuc I had left in my backyard didn't make it this winter. Real sad. I am holding out hope for the remaining 6. Spring please come quickly!
Southington is buried too. Spent all day diggin out. Never made it to my bee yard either. 35 back breaking inches! Those drifts are killers too. Streets around me are still not even plowed once! Hope to check on the bees tomorrow...
Give the plows a chance and time when was the last time you had 35 on the ground
Several of those pictures would make great post cards, you have a lot of shoveling work to do Spark.
Bill...in Southeast Ohio Zone 6A, Never look down on anybody unless you are helping them up
Just making an observation Wade, I'm in no rush to go anywhere yet.
Beautiful Christmas card pictures! The bees are just better insulated and if they had adequate food beforehand, they are fine.


text: Living in northwest Georgia, this tree we call a mimosa is quite common. It has an abundance of silky pink flowers. I have observed the bees working the flowers. The tree blooms for several weeks in June. Is this plant valuable as a nectar producer for bees. Does anyone know of and detrimental affect it may have on the bees or honey produced from this plant?

During his talk, Surdey will discuss some of the main components of these two programs including Jobs Express, SMART matching, customized recruitments, Human Resource Consulting, On-the-Job Training (OJT), Shared Work and the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN).
