Watch the MPTV Documentary
"Memorializing Kosciuszko" On-line
MPTV, Milwaukee's PBS affiliate, produced a 30 minute documentary entitled Memorializing Kosciuszko which was broadcast for the first time on Monday February 3, 2014 and has aired several times since. The documentary told the story of both the man and the restored monument in a beautiful, artistic, informative, historically accurate and professional manner. It does great justice to both Kosciuszko himself and to all those involved with the restoration project. If you missed it, the program may be rebroadcast again in the Milwaukee market. If you live outside the Milwaukee TV market, ask your local PBS affiliate if they would air Memorializing Kosciuszko in your area. You can also watch Memorializing Kosciuszko on-line at: http://www.mptv.org/video/watch/review.php?id=2216. Additional footage about the restoration process can also be viewed on-line at: http://www.mptv.org/video/watch/?id=5321.
Thank you again for your support.

The Inexplicables
Ladies, gents, and the otherwise affiliated … I give you … the cover of The Inexplicables!
Click to view larger, natch.
This time around the art comes courtesy of Cliff Nielsen, not Jon Foster (as with all the previous covers).
I admit, I was a little worried about the shift – for the sake of consistency, if nothing else. But honestly I think it looks great.
Well played, Irene Gallo (of the Tor art department) and Mr. Nielsen!
Fine work all around, and I can't wait to see this one hit the shelves this fall.

Preeti Kulkarni, ET Bureau Make investments only after evaluating the 'return on investment' scenario , including potential tax gains , ET says You hardly have two weeks to finalise your tax saving plan before the deadline on March 31. If financial advisors are to be believed, many individuals think of tax planning only in the last two weeks of the month of March. They also quickly add that these individuals often fall for unscrupulous tactics of their insurance agents or personal bankers. It is only much later that they realise the folly of buying wrong products. "Many people look at such investments merely as tax-saving tools. Also, as they have very little time to evaluate the product features , they are bound to make mistakes. The right approach is to make investments that are suitable for you, after you evaluate them from a return on investment perspective, including the potential tax benefits," says Amarpal Chadha, tax partner with consultancy major Ernst & Young. In other words, the obsession with preventing the tax dent on your savings could, in fact, cause long-term harm to your finances. If you are in this group, here are some tips that may help to avoid some common mistakes this year.

Good looking truck!
NIce looking truck!
Thanks! I love it. I went from the 5.3L to the 4.8L so my feelings are hurt a little bit. However, I have never been more satisfied with a vehicle in my life. I love it! Also my first 4x4.
Good lookin' ride!!
I love those rims on your truck,nice clean ride!
congrats, its a good looking truck, as well as the one in the background of the first pic
Great looking truck!
Thanks, everyone! Nice find jbjohnson92f lol. And I agree Bigbomber! The guy who traded it in had rims on it and was buying a new model Silvy. So he made the swap and I got a free set of the newer stockers!
Nice! Chevy got it just right with the 2006-2007 classic body style, IMO. The subtle front end changes really made a difference.

>and no one ever put a candle in the freezer
I was going to go buy some birthday cake candles and put one in the freezer and one on the table and time how long they burn. Then I realized, how would I know when the candle in the feezer stopped burning?
Now isn't that a fun word? [img]smile.gif[/img]
Bill, you just aren't going to let this die are you?
Now, you posted three times since my last one....in April.

-Bill Cosby
Bill, everyone knows birthday candles are parafin and don't count so stop trying to stir up trouble. Besides the candles would run out of air in the Freezer and your experiment would be void. Don't make Dick and I have to come to your house and pull the cord on you CPU. There comes a time when every good thread must come to an end. That was many post ago for this one!
Maybe there's a market for beeswax birthday candles.
> Maybe there's a market for beeswax birthday candles.
Actually, there is a market of sorts.
When I was a small boy, my parents would put
"trick candles" on my birthday cakes.
They could be blown out, but would re-light
themselves and need to be blown out again.
And again, and again... (It may sound like
a cruel way to frustrate birthday wishes, but
I assure you that it was great fun for all.
Times were simpler then, and we were highly
entertained by such simple shenanigans.)
Modern versions of these candles just don't
work as well as the old-style candles, so
I've made my own from time to time, using
the proper magic ingredient, magnesium.
You have to fiddle with it, but you can
get a candle that relights itself after a
few seconds of being "out" without much
trouble if you measure with care and keep
a notebook.
(The trick is to soak the wick in a magnesium
solution. NEVER add magnesium to the wax
unless you want flares suitable for military
assaults or search and rescue work!)
My pseudo-nieces and pseudo-nephews all love 'em.
Now, the reason that I mention this is that
I also use magnesium in church tapers for
a few drafty churches who request them. No one
likes to see a candle go out in the middle
of a church service, do they? Some might think
it a very very bad omen. Such candles are
"bulletproof", in that they simply cannot be
blown out by even a strong breeze for more
than a few moments. And if someone sees a
candle go out, and then relight itself, just
what might they think?
The only hack required is to glue small sponges
to the inside tops of the bell-shaped snuffers
used by ushers/altar boys to snuff out the candles
at the end of the service, and instruct them to
wet the sponges before snuffing the candles.
...and of course I use pure beeswax - did
you think I would go out and buy paraffin?
awesome, i'll be happy to hear the results myself!
\"You\'ve got to stop beating up your women because you can\'t find a job, because you didn\'t want to get an education and now you\'re (earning) minimum wage.\"

-Bill Cosby
Your statistics are quite impressive. You did not include, however, the number of smart-alec wisecracks from the sidelines. How many of those were there?
Dick, I SWEAR I did not put him up to this.
I am, however, waiting in bated anticipation.
I'd offer to help, but I've been burning the
candle at both ends during a few days of good
apiary-work weather, and need a rest.
> Let the debates begin.
The basic act of lighting a candle has
been a subject of divergent views for
quite some time.
Psalm 18:28
"For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my
God will enlighten my darkness."
Job 18:6
"The light shall be dark in his tabernacle,
and his candle shall be put out with him."
Revelation 22:5
"...and they need no candle, neither light of the
sun; for the Lord God giveth them light..."
But it is better to light a candle than to
curse the debate.
Bullseye your some dead meat mister!!! Searcher, of course you weighed the candles and also burned a control group seperately, didn't you!? If not scientific methodolgy wasn't used and you should start over again. No cheap outs on this thread! I would suggest instead of the using the freezer, which may not necessarily have the same atmospheric conditions from 1 space to another due to ice build up, other items in the freezer, and the effect of opening the door to get brocolli for supper, and drive the candles to Dicks house in say, December. I here the AlCan is nice that time of year. After keeping them outside for a week, bring them in, weigh them, develop a formula to account for weight difference defference, and then report the results. Then and only the will we know!
Searcher, I am in staring disbelief.
I am in awe of you enthusiasm.
Your act of dedication will go down in the annals of the Tailgater Forum.
You even made me get out the dictionary. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
We need a ballad deplicting your noble persuit of knowledge!
So. I understand that a candle kept in a frozen environment will burn longer than one that is at room temperature?
> ...burned a control group seperately, didn't you!?
Yes he did. He had a frozen candle, and a
non-frozen candle as his control. He was testing
for one variable, the freezing of the candle.
A perfectly valid methodology, although a very
limited data set, to be sure.
> ...drive the candles to Dicks house...
That would only complicate things. Latitude
change, minor quantum space-time effects, and
worst of all, getting the candle in one piece
over that so-called "highway" they have up there.
"The Alaska Highway
winding in and winding out
fills my mind with serious doubt
as to whether "the lout"
who planned this route
was going to hell or coming out!"
- Retired Sergeant Troy Hise
(written while he was stationed at Summit Lake, Historical Mile 392)
The last time I drove that highway was in Â73. Back then most of it was gravel, except for a few miles on either side of Whitehorse. Since then itÂs been paved and from what I hear itÂs pretty decent to drive.
Bring those candles on up here.
Searcher sent me a private email a couple of weeks back telling me some travelers would be headed North To Alaska and asked me where the candles should be delivered. I replied back giving him my street address if they make it this way.
Bullseye Bill in some of his smart-ass remarks about conducting candle experiments here in Alaska may have given some the impression that Alaska is a vast sheet of ice. That isn't the case. We have four seasons here just the same as the rest of you folks down there in 'America' do. You have fall, winter, spring, summer. We have Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, Construction Season. Right now we are in Construction Season. So it will be a while before I can get to the candle experiment up here, but if they show up, I promise to freeze 'em and burn 'em and post the results.
>Bullseye Bill in some of his smart-ass remarks...
Hey! I resemble that remark!
>We have four seasons here just the same as the rest of you folks down there in 'America' do.
I would dearly love to see that for myself, so I could remove that illusion of a vast frozen wastland. Someday I'll get to see those mosquitos that are as large as a hummingbirds.

SD Tips: Find the Best Smartphones Deals
Most of us take our smartphone everywhere, use it constantly and also need it to last a few years, so it's best not to go for a low budget version. With that said, paying full price on a new smartphone is no one's idea of a good time. We've got great deals, coupons and specials on a wide range of smartphones from various retailers. Check back frequently to make sure you get the best price available.
There are a lot of decisions to make when it comes to picking a smartphone, starting with the OS. Apple and Android lead the market when it comes to mobile operating systems. Apple's iOS has a full marketplace of apps and a fairly easy to use interface, while Android's OS is more customizable and is available on a wider variety of phones, though it might not be as user friendly depending on how its customized.
Beyond the OS, you still have lots of decision to make in terms of what you want. Think about screen size, processor speed, camera quality, battery life, screen technology and overall design. Know that there are no wrong answers when it comes to these features. It's all about what works for you and your needs.
Buying a phone these days is, frankly, a bit complicated. In the past, most mobile carriers subsidized the cost of phones so that consumers could get phones for cheap, or even free. But now most companies have done away with subsidized phones. If you buy through your cell carrier, you can typically either put down the full cost upfront (which is expensive, but often frees you from having to sign a long contract), or you can finance the cost over the course of two to three years, basically adding to the cost of your monthly bill and tying you to the carrier until the phone is paid off. The other option is to buy from a third-party seller. This is typically where you'll see the best deals being made, but just be sure to read the fine print. You want to make sure the phone you are getting is compatible with your carrier's network and you aren't being tied to a network or contract that you don't want.

I'm with you Bob. I tell very few people that I carry a gun. And yes, it is an awesome responsibility and should be given the utmost thought and consideration by anyone choosing to take on this undertaking. I look at it as a philosophy and your post pretty much sums it up, for me at least.
I was once asked by a neighbor who owns long guns and hanguns but never carries on his person (occasionally a revolver in the glove compartment), "you don't want to shoot somebody do you?" To which I replied, 'not unless they force me to'. The last thing any sane gun owner wants is to be put in the position to have to draw their weapon to defend their life. No one prays harder for peace than the soldier.

Happy Anniversary BP!
Original post made by bp, Downtown North, on Apr 20, 2013
This year, Earth Day celebrates the 3rd anniversary of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (April 20, 2010). In honor of this event, the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama (not exactly the most liberal states in the country) have filed Federal lawsuits accusing BP of massive failure in the Gulf cleanup. Oil is still visible on the shoreline and in the ocean. Some businesses are still closed, residents are still out of their homes, and shoreline formerly teaming with birds and fish are now barren. Happy Anniversary BP!

The most profitable industry in history, and they still can't clean up after themselves.
Is it pure greed, or their mama didn't teach them right?

I'm sure you thought the same thing when you beat us 27-20 in our regular season meeting last season as well. You 9ers fans & the 9ers themselves probably thought they were the better team & then we go into your house a 2nd time for the NFCCG & send you home crying!
We tend to get payback on teams in the playoffs that beat us in the regular season. 9ers & GB last yr & in 07' we got swept by Dallas in the regular season as well as losing to GB & NE, then whooped all 3 in the playoffs!
So should you win Sunday, enjoy it. We'll get you back when it counts!
I'm sure that's what you'd like to believe and if you need that, good for you.
Most fans choose to rate their team's success at the end of the season but I understand how important it is to you guys that you win this regular season match up. Just like you did last year!
In a couple of seasons you might want to start thinking about aiming a bit higher, say for a SB win as opposed to your current standard of a regular season win over the Giants means you're better. Whatever gets you through the night, I guess....

I put my bees in the hive 5 or 6 days ago and since then we have had terrible weather. It has barely been hitting 50 degrees and we have had an unbelievable amount of rain this week.
I did my 1st inspection of the hive today. It is only 40 degrees out and I was surprised to see several bees flying around the outside of the hive and stacked up at the entrance reducer. It did not appear they ate hardly any sugar water out of the hive top feeder. I did find the queen cage to be empty and found her alive inside the hive in a cluster of bees. The bees were really clustered on the front side of 2 of the frames (guessing it was probably warmer here). I did not see where they had attempted to start any combs.
Does all of this sound normal considering the time frame they have been in the hive and the temps we have had? When should I expect to see them starting work on combs? Temps the next few days are suppose to be upper 50's to upper 60's.

Memorial grows for Police Officer Tyner
Flowers, flag and stuffed animal are first mementos left at crash scene
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Well-wishers on Tuesday night began forming a makeshift memorial to remember fallen Colorado Springs motorcycle police officer Matt Tyner.
Bouquets of flowers, an American flag and a stuffed animal with golden angel's wings are among the first gestures made to honor Tyner. He died in a crash with a truck at the intersection of Austin Bluffs Parkway and Silver Drive.
Among those leaving flowers was Jackie Harris. She said doing so made her feel better. Harris said she was driving behind Tyner when the crash happened.
"I saw him turn his lights on, and then I didn't see him hit the car. But then I passed by and he was on the ground," she said, "So I stopped and walked back."
Harris said she's still shaken by Tyner's death and wants to understand how it happened.
"People at the accident said he was trying to pull over another motorcycle, but I didn't see the other motorcycle," she said. "I just saw him with his lights on, going through the traffic. So I didn't see the other motorcycle. But I don't think it was the red truck he was trying to pull over. I think that's just what he hit in the process."
The crash remains under investigation.

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/04/10/trave ... index.html
(CNN) -- Singapore's Changi Airport has been crowned the best in the world for the fourth time in 14 years at the prestigious World Airport Awards in Geneva.
The Southeast Asian hub beat off competition from Incheon Airport in South Korea and Amsterdam Schiphol in the Netherlands, which came in second and third respectively.
The award was based on surveys conducted by international travel research and consultancy group Skytrax, who polled 12.1 million passengers over a nine-month period.
A total of 39 services and products -- including check-in, arrivals, transfers, shopping, security and immigration -- were examined at 395 airports across the world.
"In winning this prestigious accolade, Singapore Changi Airport cements its place as one of the world's favorite airports," said Edward Plaisted, chairman of Skytrax.
A bustling aviation link between east and west -- catering for more than 52 million passengers and 1.81 million tons of cargo in 2012 -- Changi has gained a reputation for its attentive passenger experience and abundant entertainment services.
The airport offers free city tours to all travelers on a stopover of five hours or more and plays host to facilities such as an on-site swimming pool, butterfly garden, nature trail and cinemas.
Changi was also one of the first airports to introduce free WiFi areas and previously scooped the Skytrax best airport award in 2000 before going on to win again in 2006 and 2010.
In an interview for CNN's monthly feature show The Gateway, Changi's executive vice president for airport management, Tan Lye Teck said: "It's always heart-warming to know there are people who show appreciation for things we do."
"We will continue essentially what we've always been trying to do (which is put the) passenger, the user, the customer ... at the center of everything," he added.
Other destinations to rank highly in the best airport category this year include Hong Kong International and Beijing Capital International, carrying on a tradition of strong Asian performance at the awards.
All in all, five out of the top ten airports were based in East Asian cities.
Hong Kong has previously claimed the best airport gong eight times, Incheon twice and Singapore Changi four times.
Only one non-Asian airport has ever won the sought-after prize, Amsterdam Schiphol in 1999, the award's inaugural year.
Schipol was named the best European airport for 2013 while the honor for best North American destination went to Vancouver International Airport in Canada.
Cape Town International, Lima Jorge Chavez International, Panama Tocumen and Abu Dhabi International took home the regional prizes for Africa, South America, Central America and the Middle East respectively.
A full list of the winners and prize categories from the World Airport Awards can be found here.

hi Welcome to the site. iam from ohio. lorain
My truck is happier today. I replaced my OEM shocks and it rides smooth. 92k on original shocks isn't bad is it?
92,000 miles on stock shocks, no I would say that's pretty damn good! I only got 55,000 miles out of my stock shocks on the S-10, but then again Cleveland is horrible for pot holes so It's kind of hard to get that kind of mileage out of shocks. I have never kept one of my Silverado's long enough to need new shocks, glad that you got your money's worth out of them.
I had the truck in cleveland for about 5 years or so..I had to drive carefully..I hate the potholes there. I actually had the front differential bearings go first a few years ago. I plan on keeping my truck until I have to push it into the junk yard...I get my money's worth

text: When I was removing the queen cages from my recently installed packages I noticed something troubling. I only waited two and a half days but already one of the frames had comb almost to the bottom of one of the medium frames. This would have been great but it looked like they had started two lobes of comb on each side of the popsicle stick guide on one the frames. Is this something I should risk disrupting them again before next weekend over? The two lobes looked to have already been merged together in the middle of the frame so I think that the frame will just be extra wide. I am sorry that I didn't take a picture but if necessary I can try to describe it better.

The flavor of this recipe was pleasantly different and quite delicious! DH and I really enjoyed it, even with a few changes! (He said it was the best pot roast he has ever had in his life!) I used sirloin tip beef (the recipe called for something way too expensive in the area I live in) and I did not have tomato sauce and used canned diced tomato. It for sure would have been thicker with the tomato sauce but diced was still very good for what we had. I served it over rice and there was just over 1 serving of leftovers left. With a side dish, this probably serves closer to 3 adults. It will definitely become a winter staple at our house. Thanks for the recipe!

text: If you train clients who participate in activities that take place at higher altitudes (low altitude < 3,950 feet; moderate altitude = 3,950–7,900 feet; high altitude = 7,901-13,125 feet; very high altitude > 13,125 feet), there are many factors you need to take into consideration. As elevation increases, there is less oxygen available, which leaves less pressure to push oxygen into the blood as it passes through the lungs. This ultimately leads to reduced oxygen in the blood. Clients training at higher altitudes (> 3,950 feet) will not be able to deliver as much oxygen to the working muscles. Therefore, a decrease in intensity will be warranted. Additionally, the higher the elevation, the greater the potential for reduced physical performance. So What Do You Need to Know as a Fitness Professional? It is essential that you are aware of, and be alert to, the signs and symptoms of altitude sickness: Shortness of breath Headache Lightheadedness Nausea For additional tips on acclimatization, check out the following tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Please visit the following link and refer to Box 2-02 for tips for acclimatization and Table 2-07 to help you identify which clients may be at risk for developing altitude sickness: http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2014/chapter-2-the-pre-travel-consultation/altitude-illness For more information on exercising at higher altitudes, please review Chapter 2 of ACE's Essentials of Exercise Science for Fitness Professionals.

New Art Makes Me Happy

I have loved this painting from the first time I ever saw it, way back in high school. I had a piece hanging in my bathroom that I did not particularly like anymore, and thought that replacing it with this painting that I love so much would be perfect. I am so glad I did - now it is a joy each and every time I see my new art in that room.

New packages from California were installed last weekend and spring tidying has been done for overwintered hives. I have been seeing small young bees wobbling on the landing board, being tossed out of the hive by workers, and a few drone pupae have been cast out. Now this!Deformed wing 1.jpg I suspect the mites have infected my hive with some sort of virus causing the wing deformation and other unknown maladies. Is it time for intervention?

Fifty years ago this week, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have A Dream" speech at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It was the key moment of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, held on August 28, 1963. Click here to listen to King's 16-minute speech.
On Saturday, civil rights leaders—including King's son, Martin Luther King III— organized a 50th anniversary march, called the Realize the Dream Rally. People from all over the country took part, marching from the Lincoln Memorial to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.
A Long Road to Equality
The original event is now remembered as one of the most important symbols of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. It was held to protest racial discrimination and to demand major civil rights laws in Congress.
"The march 50 years ago inspired so many young people to continue participating in the civil rights movement," John Lewis, U.S. Representative from Georgia, told TFK in a phone interview. Lewis is the only person to speak at both the 1963 march and the 50th anniversary event. "Young people didn't like what they'd seen in the South … but they were engaging in non-violent protests."
In the early 1960s, segregation, or the separation of people by race, was accepted in many parts of the U.S., particularly the South. Black people and white people could not attend the same schools, sit next to each other on buses, or even use the same water fountains. Businesses often refused to hire people based solely on the color of their skin.
Those laws no longer exist and much progress has been made. An African-American man has been elected President twice. But there is still work to be done.
"[Today] it's seen as un-American to be discriminatory or racist," says law professor Sheryll Cashin. "That's a major achievement, despite the fact that we still have inequality."
Young People United
The original March on Washington was unique because young people—including John Lewis, then 23 years old—played a large part in organizing it.
Lewis told TFK, "It is important for kids and young people to remember the message of the March on Washington was to change America and to lay down the burden of race, to create one America, one people, one house, one family."
During his speech on Saturday, Lewis recalled the struggles of 50 years ago and his efforts to bring America's youth together for a common cause. "I said to all of the young people, 'You must get out there and push and pull and make America what America should be for all of us.'"
The anniversary will conclude on Wednesday with a ceremony at the Lincoln Memorial that will include speeches by President Barack Obama and former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. The president and other leaders said they hope that young people today will be inspired by what the older generation did for them 50 years ago.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary, TIME Magazine asked several important people what the "I Have a Dream" speech means to them. Click here to view a slideshow of some of their answers.

text: Unconference option at MTA Summer Conference There will be no keynote speaker, no plenary session. No requests for proposals and no poster presentations. Workbooks and handouts? No and no. There will not be a schedule of workshops. But when educators gather for the "Unconference" at the MTA's Summer Conference in Williamstown, organizers promise a unique professional development experience. Based on the popular EdCamp model, MTA's Unconference will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 7. Participants will gather in the morning to brainstorm over topics for the day and to build a schedule based on shared interests. (Picture a bulletin board with a timeslot grid and lots of sticky note ideas.) If you choose a session that does not meet your needs, the EdCamp philosophy says it's OK to leave and look for another conversation. People used to "sit and git" professional development may need to make some adjustments, said Dan Callahan, an instructional technology specialist at Burlington's Pine Glen Elementary School and a member of a group of Philadelphia educators who came up with the EdCamp idea in 2010. From that seed, 21 EdCamps sprouted in 2011. By May 2012, 102 will have been held, according to the newly formed EdCamp Foundation, which Callahan chairs. The movement is now international, with EdCamps held or planned for Santiago, Dubai, Hong Kong, Stockholm and many other U.S. and global locations. At EdCamp, you need to step up and take charge, Callahan explained. It's an empowering experience for theeducators formerly known as the PD audience. "I'm really proud that EdCamp is some people's first experience presenting at a conference," he said. "Even after a decade in education,I know I still have a lot of room to grow as a teacher," Callahan wrote in a recent blog post. "The unfortunate reality, though, is that most of the state- or district-provided professional development has been woefully inadequate at actually helping me to improve my practice. I know better than most what I need to work on and the things I need to learn about. I don't think it's too much to demand opportunities for the kind of professional development that will actually lead to that." "EdCamp is organized," said Laura D'Elia, librarian at Pine Glen and a coordinator of the MTA Unconference as well as EdCamp Boston. "It's organized around your passion! Keeping that alive is important to your career. We're about what you're about." "I think the biggest difference with an unconference is that people are there voluntarily," said Diana Marcus, a fifth-grade teacher at Pine Glen, president of the Burlington local and the third member of the MTA Unconference coordinating team. She likens the unconference experience to those unscheduled and unscripted moments that occur whenever educators get together — the deep conversations and networking that often add up to the best takeaway from a traditional conference or professional development day. "It's an opportunity to share ideas, trade experiences and delve into a subject that really interests you," Marcus said. "The connections you make with people who have similar interests are one of the most valuable assets of going to an unconference." As chairman of the EdCamp Foundation Board, Callahan spends a lot of time on the road visiting new programs. New organizers will sometimes ask him if he'd like to speak and maybe officially open the event. But he stays true to the EdCamp philosophy and tells them: "This is your EdCamp and we're all equals here." The Unconference will be offered as a full- or half-day option during MTA's Summer Conference and is open to any conference registrant from any level of education.

Hm what I can say about my self? I cut something from my intro on clone-empire forum.
I saw SW long time ago and I was fascinated by SW Universe as seen in old trilogy. Fairy tale story and great visual effects. I loved them. I started with 3D as member of Star Wars 3D Modeling Alliance, until it was closed. I know from these times some great guys. I was disappointed from new trilogy, but at least ILM know their work.
I wanted make some SW fanmovie and I still want make it, then I started cooperate with Maciek "MaSka" Skawinski from Polish Outpost, to make meshes and start work on costumes. Include Stormtroopers. May be you remember his unfinished story about Boba Fett "Showdown in Nar Shadaa". Fully 3D animated.
This is how I get into props. Some time later we decided with friends with costumes, that were primary created for this movie, that we can join Legion and establish Czech Outpost. We were approved few months ago and just now I´m here CO and GWL.
Now I´m working on sandtrooper FX style armor with new non FX helmet. Some photos of progress are on MPED forum. New helmet is in stage of making prototype molds. Few guys were lucky to see something from it. But when it will be right time I will post photos of molds, progress and final product. I can only say it should be replacement of FX helmet, then helmet is symetrical and shapes are derived from interpolation of both sides of AP TK helmet.
Now is priority this Sandtrooper and then probably I will start next year try make complete Red Guard armor as warm-up before something more complex. And why I´m here? To meet people, find friends, search for reference and learn something new.

What to serve with a Fish main course?
Hi all
I am doing a little supper for 'er indoors on Saturday.
I have decided to do Monkfish tails on a bed of Juliene veg (Carrot, Leeks & Courgette) en papillot with a little white wine, olive oil and herbs.
Sweet will probably be home made syrup sponge with chilled vanilla cream.
My problem is the starter. She who must be obeyed will not eat any type of cheese (migraine) tomatoes or avacado, so that is a simple salad out of the running, and you can forget Humus, Taziki etc.
So here are my questions
a/ What type of starter would normally be appropriate to go with fish (I am worried that most "traditional" starters would overpower the main course)
b/ Considering the limitations and menu, what can anyone suggest to be a good starter to accompany the above menu
I will be eternally grateful for any help

Re: What to serve with a Fish main course?
What about a nice soup served with some toasted ciabatta? You could make it fairly light. (I'm sure you'll find plenty of ideas in the 'soups on' thread.)
Or maybe a nice big slice of fresh melon served with a squiggle of raspberry coulis? (Although, perhaps soup might be a better idea with the current weather conditions if you're in the UK !)

Re: What to serve with a Fish main course?
i know you said its out of the running but i would go with the simple salad.
get some fresh mixed leaves, throw in some thinly sliced spanish ham or prosciutto, some ripped up herbs - basil is a winner, and a little fresh fruit, something sweet and juicy like peaches or mango would be excellent although im afraid i have no idea whats in season in the uk at the mo.
( for non migrainees i usually add mozzarella to this)
season and drizzle with a good olive oil and a squeeze of lemon just before serving.
the joy of this is it takes 2 or 3 mins to put together and you just serve in a big bowl and help yourselves.

All alive and beautiful looking girls. A very nice person on the other end to talk to when placing your order with follow up confirmation e-mail. Card billed just a few days before shipment. Now that is how you run a business if you want return customers. I had ordered queens from them this past spring and had called their office and talked to Jennifer In mid April about ordering queens. I was told they were booked until first week of May and could ship on may 3rd for delivery on May 4th. Received them as well on the day I was supposed to. I sold all of those girls in nucs and getting reports that they are doing real well. They definitely have the customer service down to a science. Thanks Koehnen.

In April, the Association of Scientists of Indian Origin in America (ASIOA) honored Murthy with the Biotex Junior Scientist Award in Immunology at a conference in San Diego. This week, he will travel to Aarhus, Denmark, to present his research findings at the sixth meeting of the European Society for Chlamydia Research.
The research conducted with supervising biology professor Arulanandam focuses on vaccine development for Chlamydia trachomatis, the most prevalent sexually transmissible disease agent with an estimated 91 million cases worldwide. The research team found success in administering a chlamydia vaccine in mice, and testing is underway at UTSA to determine its success in Guinea pigs.
"Ashlesh is the most prolific of our Ph.D. graduates with a dozen papers published and, as someone who works with him, he's also a first-rate scientist and top-notch person," said Neal Guentzel, UTSA professor of biology and associate dean of the College of Sciences. "He will continue to reflect positively on the type of research intensive graduates that UTSA is capable of producing."
Murthy earned his undergraduate degree from a medical school in India and in 2006 received UTSA's first doctorate in cell and molecular biology.

Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
You guys have been busy this morning. Walt believes that backfilling is intentional because it starts at a given point in colony growth, and is not relative to flow intensity at that time. The colony deliberately leaves a fixed amount of capped honey reserve overhead to carry them through the swarm prep period. Wintered in a shallow and a deep, the colony doesn't open honey in the shallow (usually) before starting backfilling of the deep. They use the break in functional comb as the demarcation line between the honey reserve and the broodnest.
Mike does not see this in his hives where the cluster is at the top. They have consumed their reserve to survive the winter. Some northern beekeepers have to feed in late winter to sustain the colony until field forage is available.
We, collectively, have forgotten their heritage as forest dwellers. The honeybee's survival format, instincts, and activity timing are oriented to life in the extended forest. Those characteristics were selected for, long before man cleared land for his purposes. Even the fall flow is an anomaly to their instincts - not many weeds in the forest.
As that heritage applies to the question of backfilling, the colony must get survival requirements accomplished on the early-season period of tree bloom. That includes both reproduction and accumulation of winter provisions. Their format serves them well. The same backfilling that generates young bees to go with the reproductive swarm also gets a leg up on accumulation of winter stores. I can't make myself believe that it's either accidental or coincidental.
They can't winter on empty comb. They need honey/nectar underfoot to be used as fuel to warm the cluster.
many thanks for taking the time, i appreciate your replies.

journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
The reason I wanted to know about your deeps was the deeper they are, the more likely they are to have a band of capped honey at the top. The follow up question is do those 12 inch deeps sometimes have a band of capped honey all the way across the top? I would expect them to, if the colony was situated in a single deep to prepare for winter.
Assuming a band of honey across the top of the deep, it would be difficult to break up that band of honey with a super above.
Most colonies seem to percieve the top of their honey as the top of their residence cavity. It's so prevalent in some colonies in the early season that even in a loose-cluster period, there are no bees patrolling above the honey in an added empty super. That trait seems to be rooted in their instincts developed for the tree hollow where the top of their honey IS the top of the cavity.
Reading the steps in your spring management, my first thought was that you are inducing a "mode" change. We have described the mode changes with colony age in years.
1st year: Objective: Build enough comb and stores for wintering. Building an adequate size brood nest is top priority. Reproduction not on the agenda.
3rd year, and subsequent: Reproduce in early season while protecting existing colony survival.
2nd year: Have the flexibility to either complete establishment or perform as established.
Two distinct varients: early supersedure and early wax making capability.
The over-simplifications above make a world of difference in worker duties to meet the season objectives.
Mike P. is correct in his assertion that reproductive swarms can come after the normal swarm season. The bees have a long list of contingency plans or work-arounds. Back up plans A, B, C.....for more than just reproduction. Some can handle almost anything Mother Nature throws at them. I don't see that as a good reason to reject the NORMAL process. Knowing the normal process can help you plan your management.
Where I was headed with the above tangent was that I think CB taps one of those latent contingency plans from the past. Why the extra strong colonies do not swarm is still a mystery to me. My best guess is that somewhere in their ancestry, they selected for suvival in a circumstance similar to checkerboarding. I don't need to know what that circumstance was.
Well, that depends. If you throw out all the combs that are not populated in early spring, narrow the hive with a follower board, you sort of pressing the Bien up. In a Warré hive this is a build-in feature without follower board. You only have eight combs in a Warré and the combs are rather small in length.have a band of capped honey all the way across the top?
difficult to break up that band of honey with a super above.
There are lots of swarms here that swarm again in their very first year. We even have a name for such swarms in German.1st year: ...Reproduction not on the agenda.
It is a pitty, that you can't read a German book written in 1905, which explains how the processes in a hive are driven by broodfood/Gelee royale. It does make a lot of sense what the author is writing about young bees and the need for those bees to feed brood in order to get rid of their food sap (Futtersaft in German) that is produced by their glands. And how brood feeding, drone raising and comb building are valves for their pressure. That pretty much explains a lot, including swarms in year one.Two distinct varients: early supersedure and early wax making capability.
In that book "Der Bien und seine Zucht" by Gerstung, it is described that you can take one or two combs of capped brood and replace them with open brood combs from another hive, you can lower swarming tendencies that just started. From my experience it works pretty well and it also fits into the temperature related brood activity like shown in another thread. (Brood/bees relation.)
(Side note: in that book the MDA-splitter method is described as well, but without the on the spot queen rearing.)
NORMAL process. Knowing the normal process can help you plan your management.I reckon there is no such a "plan", which of course I understand just as a descriptive word for the processes taking place. I reckon the deep connection of the Bien to the outside world is by outside temperatures, which not only drives flight activities but also restricts brood cluster size in early Spring. Temperature is the main key for the understanding of the processes inside the hive and how the bees tune with the outside world. Plants and flowers depend on temperatures, too, and through outside temperatures all the natural processes organize themself and make a well organized concert.CB taps one of those latent contingency plans from the past.
I also bees are like humans a bit. Think of yourself foraging for walnuts or so. You easily get into the "squirrel mode" and you start hoarding like crazy. I do have a garden and I always get into that squirrel mode and overproduce where there is an opportunity to do so. Hoarding what I can get hold of.
Bees are not much different. Bees fly like crazy when there is a flow. In early Spring there is a lot of pollen and less nectar. So they hoard a lot of pollen. Especially if there are empty cells available.
Now, in nature the bees swarm with a certain number of bees, all well prepared (more or less) with provisions. The number of bees in that swarm define the number of cells that swarm builds initially. So the initial nest size is perfectly synchronized with the swarm size. The rest of the year the growth of the bees' nest is defined again by the number of bees in that colony, which of course is a perfect picture of the fertility of the queen.
Bottom line: nest size and comb size is perfectly tuned to each other.
The same is true for the brood to comb ratio. The first patch of brood is surrounded with a ring of pollen. The young bees emerging are eating up that pollen and by doing so, they free and clean and warm the cells for the queen to lay eggs into them. Perfectly tuned!
Now, modern hives are somewhat misshaped. The width of the combs provoke the bees to store nectar and pollen to the sides of that comb. While nectar is shifted around in the hive easily, pollen doesn't get shifted. It has to be eaten up by young bees. Bees prefer fresh pollen over old pollen.
In a modern hive bees tend to store too much pollen in early Spring which disrupts the development of the broodnest and young bees do not find enough acceptors for their food sap. They start to excrete wax plates and do start building comb as they start drone comb. Drones are a good sink for the too much food sap in a hive. Once this sink is full, the bees start "small hives" within the colony, means: queen cells. Queen cells also use up a lot of food sap.
So the management of the bees by the beekeeper is best achieved if you think in food sap and it's path through the hive. Just a try to figure it: 100 emerging bees produce food sap for let's say 500 larvae. 500 emerging bees produce food sap for 2,500 larvae. 2,500 for 12,500; 12,500 for 62,500...
It's exponential character points out, that there has to be an end to that growth somewhere, something has to happen!
First they try get rid of it by wax making, then by drone raising, by queen raising and finally by swarming and the founding of a completely new nest. Swarm bees build best. For a reason.
The only way to stop swarming is to add more acceptors (young brood), remove young bees/sap producers (capped brood, about to emerge), reduce the colony's growth by the removal of the queen, or to let them build a lot of comb.
(Another but rather poor possibility would be to let the bees starve, by reducing the pollen and nectar income. And in fact, pollen trapping for instance reduces swarming tendencies a little.)
Most certainly there are a lot of ways to achieve the above, managing the food sap, but of course some are more material+labour intensive, more disruptive than others. With a deep understanding of the processes you will find a good way to produce optimal honey harvests, which might be not the highest yields possible, but the most economical and efficient. Thus sustainable.
Sorry for the long post.
Ace, part of the problem would be that the brood nest really should not be messed with. when the band of honey and the brood are on the same frame it presents some undesirable issues. Moving a frame or two of brood up in itself can trigger the forming of queen cells. So some care would have to be taken in the selection of the frames to be moved. I also believe that at the very best you have then removed those frames from a somewhat orchestrated system set up to tend for that brood. The bees decided how to configure the nest. I consider it extremely disruptive to mess with that. Keep in mind this may happening in late winter or very early spring. keeping brood warm is still very much of an issue. For me this past spring it would have been the first week of March. That happens to still be winter according to the calendar.
IN this case I have found the additional side expansion of the brood nest to be helpful.
Typically any brood nest has 2 frames of honey at it's outer edges. I tend to take those two frames and move them up then place two fraems of either foundation or drawn comb in their place. depending on the brood nest those frames may be place in the 2 and 9 position with the frames that had been in those spaces being moved to the outer edges. This still allows empty space to be placed near the nest breaks the honey cap at the top of the nest and still does not disrupt the placement of brood. In a brood frame with a pollen and honey cap I consider the food source for that brood is on that frame so I am not concerned with where I move the rest of the honey to. I also found that moving up frames of brood later results in frames of honey with patches of pollen left in them.
As for Micheal's claim that any Data is "Contrived". I am interested in a much more thorough explanation of just what has been contrived. The observations have in fact been made and no influence was exerted to cause them. I agree that the interpretation of those behaviors are very likely to not be accurate. but that is the nature of interpretation. As Walt mentioned earlier though. the why is not nearly as important as the result. It is not necessary to accurately know why bees will delay swarming if given space. it is only important to know that they will. I also do not agree with your 100% prevention criteria. I consider the prevention of one swarm as some level of effectiveness. 90% prevention is another. I also do not by that you where miss quoted. did you or did you not say swarming cannot be prevented? And if so did you say it based upon the requirement that swarms are prevented to 100%? Including when the method has been performed poorly? Including when a given method has not been performed at all bu merely claimed to have been? You support keeping nucs. I have one out of 11 that is doing poorly and is not likely to survive winter. So I now claim your methods as unreliable and in fact yo can't keep bees over winter in nucs. And I base that claim upon the criteria you seem to have on the swarming issue. that if 100% of all nucs cannot be over wintered regardless of how poorly I managed them. then the method does not work.

When manipulating combs, in an attempt to prevent swarming, does anyone scratch capped honey to encourage the bees to work it to clear a path to open comb?
Mark Berninghausen
Yes, you don't want to go into the brood nest area in the dead of winter but as a swarm prevention in the spring after you have already reconfigured the hive, pulling the two center frames up into and empty box to break up the honey cap (assuming there is one) creates more space in the brood chamber and encourages the bees to fill the box above. Cold areas don't have a honey cap in the spring unless you walked away and the bees went into winter with three full boxes of honey on top.

Ace, Okay quit beekeeping. I really don't care if you decide what I said meant you can't touch your hive at all. I don't think what I wrote is all that hard to understand and if you are incapable of doing so I really am not interested in getting it sorted out for you.

Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
That's certainly an interesting interpretation of function of the jelly in swarm impetus. Is it OK if I believe that it is not the controlling influence? It may be entirely accurate but still be coincidental. I believe the steps to swarm commit are controlled by instinct. You are right about my use of the word "plan". I more often use the word format for a description of steps to swarm commit.
Our PhDs are sure that all the operational activities in the hive are controlled by pheromones. That will not stand up to scrutiny, either. At some point in the process, a colony-level DECISION must be made. That can happen overnight. The available pheromones didn't change that fast.
The instincts of the social insect have to be more complex, but complexity is not unique to honeybees. One of my favorites is the lowly mud dauber. They instinctively "know" where to look for spiders to feed their young. And they make mud in the dry season by going to a reliable water source, taking on water, going to suitable soil for their nest, and making the mud. Note that there are no pheromones at the water source or the patch of soil. (Guessing)
As for the Date. Walt admits repeatedly that he has made up names to call the events observed. That does not mean those names are accurate but the observation where made and the bees did behave in a certain fashion, Repeatedly. My very first comment after reading Walts book was to say i do not think Walt has teh cause and effect correct. That is simply because cause and effect is extremely difficult to get right once much less an entire succession of them. Btu I do not question He has observed what He has observed. As he has point out in this thread alone. The why is not really that important. There is no need to know the why if we observe that the behavior on fact happens.
For example I think bees gather nectar an make honey out of boredom and it has nothing to do with derths, winter survival or anything else. What does it matter why they do it? they do it and few would argue that point.
I don't buy your 100% success criteria either. Does Walt reduce the swarming in his bees with his methods? Maybe you are right and their really is no cut of to Repro swarming. I just have to wonder why my bees are not non stop swarming then.
Why did my hive swarm when they had room to store a couple of hundred lbs of nectar? They still had a full medium for additional bees so they where not crowded. As far as I can tell Walt would say it was because his methods do not work if the bees are given foundation. foundation was all I had to give them. And guess what, it didn't work. I woudl say that for three other hives it did but those where also first year colonies that where building up from nucs. so to many other factors involved to evaluate Walts methods in accordance with those hives. I hope to have 8 second year hives next spring and will be able to see more.
Ace, All I can say is I did not make my comment based upon your definition of disturbance. You can either comprehend what I said or you can't. There are maybe 7 frames at most in a spring hive you should not touch. figure it out.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
I don't know which ones those are either. What are you talking about DanielY?
Mark Berninghausen
Mark, The entire conversation started about expanding a brood nest and my comment about not disturbing the brood nest by moving frames with brood in them but add space next to the nest.
Ace considers even opening the hive a disturbance of the brood nest. So I suppose the method I described will not work for him. What I pointed out is that I do not consider opening of the hive a disturbance of the brood nest and I am not accepting his definition of disturbance.
Make the manipulations without disturbing the brood nest and I defined disturbance as don't move frames of brood. And I don't care if you agree with my definition of disturbance. Can you figure out which frames have brood and then not move them? I have my doubts.

NEWS: D'Angelo Releases Surprise New Album + New Track "Sugar Daddy"
Posted In Funk,New Music,R&B,Soul by Speeakz
There are very few worlds that can quantify this moment, so please bear with me.
It's taken 14 [damn] years, but today we f-i-n-a-l-l-y get to hear the first insight into D'Angelo's much anticipated, much dreamed about, often forsaken new album – which we know now to be titled Black Messiah. Courtesy of Red Bull's 20before15 project 'Sugah Daddy' is available to stream and download for the first 1,000 listeners (I was #965) and is as rich and thick in detail as you'd hope; you know, given the guy has been living in near solitude for the past decade and half.
Voodoo fans will be happy – I know many of them were unjustly concerned (heathens) for reasons I'm still confused by ("will it be too freeform?", "my expectations are too high", "what if it's not as good as Voodoo…"), but more importantly long-standing D'Angelo fans will be elated. 'Sugah Daddy' isn't self-indulgent nor stagnant – it perfectly represents the prodigal sons thought process and wonderfully tracks smutty funk, creole soul and Dirty Mind harmonies.
Listen to 'Sugah Daddy' via 20before15 now.
Update: stream the track via D'Angelo's official soundcloud player now.
Update #2: It has been confirmed that Black Messiah will be released on iTunes at midnight (EST) tonight! Get ready, only a few hours to go!

Featured Project – A Pair Of Wonderland Wonders
We've seen the fabulous work of Judith and her daughter Freeke before, most notably on our facebook page, but when she sent us these images of two out-of-this-world Alice costumes, we knew they deserved their very own Featured Project post. After all, we're always suckers for a new Alice project, and this time we got TWO wonderland wonders for the price of one!
Judith & her daughter are from the Netherlands, so her answers are short and sweet, but the amazing photos of these gorgeous embroidered costumes is more than enough to keep your eyes happy! Read on to learn a little about the ideas behind each Wonderland costume and the embroidery she added to them…
What started this project? What were the costumes for?
I started the project because I saw the Wonderland designs on your page. I started searching for a reason to embroider them on something, because I liked the designs a lot! The costumes were for my daughter who was planning on wear them at am upcoming fantasy fair.
What's the blue Alice costume all about? What designs did you use to make it?
There was a group with who were going to do a photo shoot with, and they were discussing an Alice in Wonderland theme. That's what started the hunt, and when I found the Wonderland embroidery designs the costume followed.
This blue Alice costume with the rabbit ears on the hat is supposed to have the rabbit "hiding" in it. The rest is a new twist on Alice. My daughter hasn't gotten a chance to wear it yet at the fantasy fair.
What kinds of challenges did you face in making this costume?
I had quite a bit of trouble making the rabbit hat. It was the first time I made a hat and I didn't really know what materials to use!
Tell us a little about the other Alice costume…
The costume from this photoshoot was a 'Black Alice' theme because we made it around Halloween, but she wore for this photo shoot last Sunday. It ended up being sort of a wintery scene in the summer, because the Black Alice also had a hooded jacket as part of the outfit.
What kinds of designs did you end up using on this costume?
On the apron I used a design of a raven and a chain, because it look a little boring without them. I also used the Blackthorn design pack for the Black Alice coat.
I can't remember how long it took to embroider them, but they were easy to do. Thankfully, there weren't many threads I needed to cut.
How are people reacting to the costumes and all the embroidery?
I get a lot of nice replies on the embroidery designs and the costume. People are very enthusiastic about them.
Any other fun project planned for the future?
I'm currently working on a Steampunk Geesekeeper costume for my daughters. I also would like to do a costume with the Dark Fairytales designs. I don't know what it would be yet, but I think that they could make a very nice costume.
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing sewing skills Judith, and to Freeke for her awesome modeling skills. She makes a perfect Alice! I'm sure these costumes will be a hit the fantasy fair. And I know we're all just dying to see the next costume you two dream up! I bet Halloween this year will be epic.
Do you want to have your project featured on StitchPunk? Drop us a line at email@example.com or upload your Urban Threads stuff to our flickr group!

The only 75w-90 that I can find is for limited slip diffs, I have a G80 Gov-Loc. I am looking at using Mobile 1 75w-90, amsoil, or Mobile Delvac (if I can find quarts of it. alternatively it is $47 a gallon) I do tow a boat very often in the summer, but not very far. I have read of guys going to 75w-140 because they tow. Does anyone feel as if this is necessary? Any recommendations on which gear oil to use? I have read some bad things about Lucas and Royal Purple. I would consider amsoil. But, can not find a place near me that carries it or that I can get a significant discount at. I can pickup 3 quarts of Mobile 1 for $22 after discounts. Any suggestions? I may attempt to get a hold of @1st Synthetics and see what his prices are for the 75w-90. Looking online I can only buy amsoil in cases of 12. - - - Updated - - - I am going with amsoil, I will return the mobile 1 I just purchased. I spoke with Scott from 1st Synthetics and his prices for guys on the forum are pretty darn good. So, i will be driving down to get it tomorrow.

Googlebot will do SQL Injection for you!
The Dark Side of Google
In the past months we were talking about Google Hacking as an effective tool for attack automation, attack targeting and attack proxying. Last week, while I was investigating an attack vector, I "bumped" into another real life example of Google's darker side.
The attack vector I was investigating was an SQLi attack on a specific PHP module. The fact that the attack vector was executed on a non PHP web application indicated that I am probably looking at some kind of automated attack and that it might be worthwhile to further investigate. Looking-up the targeted resource verified that it is part of an open source PHP ecommerce project and that a past version of this resource was found vulnerable to SQLi. Nothing interesting up to that point, but I asked myself why was the attack executed on a non PHP web application? My next step was to look-up this specific attack vector in Google search. Bingo! The search results were very interesting...
I was able to distinguish between two types of search results:
1. Results that included the attack vector as part of the link (first example)
2. Results that included the attack vector as part of the indexed content (second example)
Let's see what all this tells us...
The search results page actually tells the whole attack story. As a first step, the attackers cause Google to index web pages embedded with links that are actually SQLi attack vectors. This can be achieved by using various methods, for example:
1. Embedding malicious links in a controlled domain and then asking Google to crawl
2. Embedding malicious links in forums, blogs or any other content sharing platform
These pages are the ones to be expressed as the second type of search results I mentioned above.
Next, Google crawls the pages in which the malicious links were embedded and follows them. Since the links are actually attack vectors, this action is translated into an SQLi attack executed by the Google against the target web applications. When Google receives a response to the attack it indexes the data under the target application's domain name. This is illustrated by the first example of search results where the link (in green) is obviously an SQLi attack vector and the meta description is an SQL server error response. As the final step of the attack, the attacker extracts the results of the SQLi attack by sending specially crafted search queries to Google.
What is really disturbing in this attack scenario is that attackers can both execute an attack and get the results back without issuing a single request to the target application - Google does all of this for them. A lot has already been said regarding the gap between what Google should and can do and what Google actually does to prevent such issues. A new research conducted by the ADC shows that this is only the tip of the iceberg and it is definitely not the only or the major security issue associated with Google services. In fact, expect more on this topic in one of the coming security conferences where we take this to the next level by revealing a Google service that enables even more advanced attack techniques.

What would you think about me putting my nucs in my pole barn for the winter? There would be less wind and no snow in the barn. They would have access to the outside if needed. They have only 3 frames filled up with brood and stores. I am feeding syrup and will do fondant over the winter.
Thanks for opinions.
