text: My friend's S-10 broke down today and won't start. I'm not sure of the year, but it's a late 90s-mid 2000s S-10 with a 2.2L engine. She described that she was driving on the interstate, and noticed the truck was losing power from the engine. She then started hearing a clunking sound from around the center of the firewall. She downshifted and the truck started slowing down more. Also the side tank of the radiator cracked spewing coolant. Now, when you turn the key to start the truck, the engine turns over with no odd sounds, but it doesn't start. It seems to spin as if it isn't getting compression on any cylinders. I am truly clueless as to what the issue could be. I thought it could be that she threw a rod, but it doesn't make sense the engine's not making any clunking noises. The head gasket could have blown, but what are the odds that it blew on all 4 cylinders to the point that it won't start. There could have been some way valves got stuck or bent open, but again, all 4 cylinders? Any ideas? We're going to start pulling the intake and head off tommorow since whatever's wrong will almost certainly involve pulling the head.

Do We Need a Supercommittee for Economic Competitiveness? MIT's President Weighs In
Earlier this month, MIT President Susan Hockfield appeared at The Commonwealth Club of California Silicon Valley to talk about American competitiveness and innovation. Those are popular topics these days, as the United States continues to work through a difficult economic recovery and other nations – China, Germany, India, Poland, Turkey – are enjoying stronger growth and employment. Add to this situation the ongoing policy turmoil in Washington, D.C., and you have some leaders sounding the alarm. Add Hockfield to that group of leaders.
As Ken Kaplan notes in his report on Hockfield's appearance, "American Innovation Losing Its Shine?": "American ingenuity and innovation, the twin engine of the country's economy since World War II, is in danger of losing steam and job growth potential if federal legislators allow 'automatic' spending cuts to kick in next year rather than earmarking federal funds to advance education, research and manufacturing, according Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Susan Hockfield. Hockfield sounded the economic alarm bell Wednesday at the Commonwealth Club of California in Silicon Valley. 'The big question is: Where will our much needed jobs come from?' she asked. 'Will we let other nations lead or will we seize the lead?'"
Hockfield, a neuroscientist, argued that America needed to invest in the parts of its economy that spawn innovation and growth, according to Alan Weissberger's report on Viodi.com, "MIT President on How to Improve America's Innovation Economy": "During her lecture, Ms. Hockfield discussed a range of 'innovation economy' priorities, including federal government funding of basic research, immigration policy for foreign students, creating an entrepreneurial culture at universities and seizing the opportunities of advanced manufacturing. She believes that the intersection of the life sciences and engineering will be pivotal to innovation and economic growth in the 21st Century."
You can listen to the podcast of Hockfield's program on the Club's website.

Police: Would-be Trinidad High shooter 'idolized the Columbine shooters'
TRINIDAD, Colo. - Trinidad Police arrested two teens Friday they say had begun forming a plan to kill students and teachers at Trinidad High School after the holiday break.
Police and school administrators learned about the plan on Thursday (12/19/13). Trinidad Middle School, Trinidad High School and Fisher's Peak Elementary were placed on lockout while police investigated. The lockout was in place for about 2 and 1/2 hours. It was lifted around 1 p.m.
Investigators learned two students, ages 15 and 16, had a specific plan for a post-Christmas school shooting in place. They say the 15-year-old said he had been bullied and that he idolized the Columbine shooters and the Aurora Theater Shooter.
The teens face charges of interference with a school-credible threat and inciting destruction of life or property.
Those students posted bond and are back home this weekend. They were released to their parents according to Police Chief Charles Glorioso.
"I would hope that the parents take this as a serious threat and take the necessary precautions to keep an eye on these students to make sure they don't get in any further trouble," said Glorioso.
Police said they did not find any weapons on the teens or at their homes but the pair had talked about how to obtain what they needed.
"I believe these two had talked about this enough, had made some initial plans to carry this out," said Glorioso. "I think it's only because of the diligence of my officer [that we stopped it.] He stopped something that could have been pretty serious."

[Article]-Review: SANS SEC550 Information Reconnaissance
Permanent link: [Article]-Review: SANS SEC550 Information Reconnaissance
Review by Justin Kallhoff, CISSP, C|EH, GPCI, GCIH et al
SANS Security 550 - Information Reconnaissance: Competitive Intelligence and Online Privacy
A pessimistic view of the Internet: A network that enables every human to be within a few milliseconds from every psychopath and criminal on earth.
Bryce Galbraith of Layered Security, a SANS certified instructor, has authored a new one-day course titled "Information Reconnaissance: Competitive Intelligence and Online Privacy." The course is designed to educate IT professionals on the risks associated with information disclosure. It also teaches the students tools, tips, and techniques that assist in discovering information.
The amount of our personal information that exists on the web today is staggering; our governments, corporations, phonebooks, colleges, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, are all guilty. According to Google, it is estimated the Internet grows a billion pages per day.
Thanks Justin,

Detroit Grand Prix looks to build upon successesBy LARRY LAGE , Associated Press
Jun. 3, 2013 6:39 PM ET
DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Grand Prix attracted more fans to Belle Isle and drew a larger television audience than it had last year, successfully hosting two full-length races in a weekend for the first time in IndyCar history.

At least one person wants to make open-wheel racing doubleheaders an annual tradition in the Motor City. Detroit Grand Prix chairman Bud Denker hopes IndyCar gives him the green light to market another two-race event in 2014.
"The series needs it, we want it," Denker said. "And even if there's only one next year, I'll take it and I want it every year."
IndyCar plans to also have doubleheaders this year in Toronto and Houston, but hasn't announced next year's schedule.
"We also need to change some of rules of this sport to get this sport back to where it needs to be," Denker said. "This is one great game-changer."
Denker said nearly 100,000 people made it to Belle Isle — slightly more than in 2012 — during the three-day event. Denker was thrilled when he heard on Monday that overnight TV ratings for the two races more than doubled the audience from last year's race: The overnight rating from big cities was 0.8 on Sunday and 0.7 on Saturday. A ratings point represents 1,147,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's homes with TVs.
Simon Pagenaud and Mike Conway won the races on an improved track that held up much better than it did the year before, when pot holes and grooves spoiled the show. Denker said he spent more than an hour apologizing to fans as they left the track area last year, and went to the same place Sunday to thank them for coming.
"We've come a long way in one year," Denker said.
To make next year's event better on and off the track, plans are being made to re-pave the bumpy backstretch and straighten out the circuit between Turns 6 and 7 to create another area for passing. Some chalets and grandstands may also be added to take advantage of the best views.
Roger Penske's Michigan-based company and Chevrolet pumped nearly $2 million into the 2.36 mile street course, which was reconfigured with a half-mile straightaway that led to some three-wide racing.
"We've had some parades in the past, but we won't anymore," Denker said.
Denker and his staff, though, hope they will have an IndyCar doubleheader to promote for the next year's event that is expected to follow the Indianapolis 500 as it did this year.
Detroit Grand Prix general manager Charles Burns said the two-race setup allows sponsors entertain clients in part of a 15,000-square foot, double-decker chalet previously used at the London Olympics.
"It's expensive, but it adds a special touch when you can build relationships with 75 people on Saturday and perhaps 75 different people on Sunday during IndyCar races," Burns said, looking down on the track from the second floor of one of the chalets.
While executives from Deloitte, Quicken Loans and Cadillac entertained from the best vantage point on Belle Isle, the Scott Fountain shot water into the air with the Renaissance Center, headquarters of General Motors Co., off in the distance down the Detroit River.
Detroit is often cast in a poor light, in part because it is an estimated $14 billion in debt and has a state-appointed emergency manager, but TV viewers across the world saw spectacular aerial views during the races that Denker deems priceless.
"I got texts from people in London and Germany, 'Is that really Detroit?'" Denker recalled. "How do you put on a value on that?"

Saturday was an embarrassment of epic proportions for Mitt Romney and the Massachusetts Republican Party — an organization that, as I've chronicled in recent months, is essentially an extension of the Romney machine.
In a nutshell, a bunch of diehard followers of presidential candidate Ron Paul won spots intended for Romney loyalists, to represent the state at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Tampa late this summer. In nine district caucuses, Paul supporters won 16 of 27 delegate spots, and 18 of 27 alternates. (These numbers might change slightly after consideration of provisional ballots and potential challenges.)
It won't affect the nomination. By virtue of Romney's easy primary victory, in which he received more than 70 percent of the votes, Romney is guaranteed the pledged support of all Massachusetts delegates on the first convention ballot. And there is little chance that there will be more than one ballot, regardless of the high hopes of some Paul devotees.
But it's certainly humiliating that the Paul crowd so thoroughly out-organized the Romney crew in his own backyard. Organizing supporters is so fundamental to the fall general election, that this fiasco— which took place while top adviser Eric Fehrnstrom was in Washington, DC, schmoozing at the White House Correspondents' Dinner — could raise questions about whether the campaign's eye is on the ball.
The effort should not have come as a surprise, since the same people did the same thing in 2008, with more limited success. Although some of the state's 41 delegates to the RNC are chosen by the state committee, and some at the MassGOP convention this spring, the bulk are elected by any registered Republicans who show up at the district caucuses.
Ron Paul libertarians, though highly motivated, are few in number. To defeat them required only 100 to 150 Romney supporters at each of the nine caucus locations — from an entire congressional district.
The failure to do so has stunned some Massachusetts Republicans. At the least, it is another black eye for new state party chairman Bob Maginn, whose long relationship with Romney goes back to Bain Capital.
But it could become more than a passing embarrassment.
The home-state delegation traditionally gets seated front and center, and national media typically seeks them out for comments about the nominee.
I asked Frank Capone, an elected "Liberty" delegate from District 5, what he will say to media in Tampa who ask his opinion of Romney. "Probably not what I should be saying," he chuckled.
MassGOP officials are publicly putting a game face on the caucus results — pointing to the higher-than-usual turnout as a positive sign. "It's a pretty fantastic thing to see the enthusiasm," says MassGOP spokesperson Tim Buckley.
But the importance of home-state delegates is a big reason that the Romney campaign took the unusual step of selecting and promoting a complete "slate" of candidates — which the MassGOP promoted on its Web site. There were also robocalls made for the slate candidates.
The Romney campaign wanted to ensure that the delegation would be "on message" in Tampa.
They also wanted to reward those who had loyally helped Romney and his allies over the years, by giving them a VIP junket to the national convention.

We are at the beginning of Colorados Eastern Plains, just east of Denver. My husband I just started beekeeping this past spring. We only started with one nuc since we both have had serious brain injuries in the past and figured this way less bees to potentially kill off due to our very interesting learning curves. Yeah I know, shoulda gotten two anyway.
We have been members of the Single Action Shooting Society, Mounted Shooters and non competitive Mounted Archers so the start up expense didnt surprise us all that much. No such thing as a cheap hobby.
Mike is fairly allergic to stings so while I talked about getting bees for a few years he wasnt very interested until I pointed out since he wanted to try making mead, it would be very cool using his own honey. Got interested then. And with each sting hes doing better..not great.. but better.
Where we live its so windy folks around here make jokes that its southern Wyoming. And indeed there are usually large amounts of WY dirt blowing past at any given time, except when its New Mexico dirt. And while we thought it would be a normal rainfall year, it has also been until this past week been another drought year instead with no farmers planting near us and the bees have had to really hunt for pollen with only a few wildflowers/weeds in the fields. The only thing that has grown around here has been the very well lit and noisy fracking wells. We are getting rain now, but are east of all the flooding you may have heard about on the news, or are maybe experiencing.
The Fat Bee Man told me about this site and I have been lurking on it since. Reading the posts have helped answer a lot of questions. I just dont get much internet time so I still have lots to go. And while the near record heat has lulled me into thinking summer was forever, Mike has got archery elk this month and Im now getting ready to panic realizing what time of the year it really is.
I hope to be able to make the get together at a Denver bee store tomorrow (To Bee or Not Too Bee) where I can physically meet some other beeks. Its a bit of a drive from here. I want to see how folks have been dealing with local winter conditions. And how well it actually worked. Think anyone will notice me standing there looking stressed and taking notes ?
Really hoping to talk with folks from CO and WY on this site too. Can't see me writing notes this way.

I can't figure out why should one have been doing that in the first place at her size / age. That was just asking for a muddy face plant.
Probably some bizarre thing in Lithuania or something. I see so many crazy videos of people doing complete crazy and dangerous stuff and a good deal of them are from some place that looks like Russia or former countries controlled by Russia.
Darn crazy commies.
That's it. This is the tipping point. The human race is rapidly becoming too stupid to warrant continued existence.
This cracked me up...
I'm laughing at the fact the newspaper straight up put that out there like that. There is absolutely nothing funny about molestation.

They are great gifts.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
They are great gifts.
Home is where the heart is, and a few scrappy quilts.
Made with love, thank you, they are beautiful.
Great job on the quilts. I have done many rag quilts during the last year, everyone loves them. You have a good system going.
Your quilts are beautiful. I love the fabric and pattern you used for #2. The world is a better place because of caring folks like you. God Bless.
Fabric is like money, no matter how much you have it's never enough.
I love rag quilts to. I made one for my son probably 10 years ago when I first got my sewing machine. To this day it is still so nice and soft and warm and still looks really good to. But yours also solve problems of health. Maybe I will start these up again.
Create something beautiful from scraps.
Beautiful rag quilts. I love making them too.
Treat people the way you want to be treated!!
I would like to submit your kindness to all of those naysayers who criticize educators who only work 6 hours a day and 9 months a year. Many educators spend hours per week doing acts of kindness and emotional support to those in their care. Thank you for your work and for your support of those who need a special warm fuzzy. . . a rag quilt.
Beautiful and huggable!
Kathleen, a lass with a bit of the Irish in her blood and a whole lot of Irish in her heart
You have a good heart and your students are lucky to call you teacher.

DALLAS — Tuesday Morning has named former Michaels Stores president and CEO, Michael Rouleau as its interim CEO.
In his role as interim CEO, Rouleau will manage the company's day-to-day operations through the retention of a new CEO. He will continue to serve on the company's board of directors, which he joined in November 2012.
Rouleau succeeds Brady Churches, who has resigned as Tuesday Morning's CEO but will remain with the company in a consultative capacity. The company has engaged Spencer Stuart, a global executive search firm, to assist the board in the process to identify a permanent CEO.
Steven Becker, Tuesday Morning's chairman of the board, commented, "The board recognizes Brady's merchandising expertise and the company's recent top line momentum, and is pleased he will serve as a consultant. We move forward with the search for new leadership to drive operational improvement at every level of the company, truly transform the brand and capture market opportunities with focus and determination. Michael Rouleau brings a strong track record of retail operational excellence in this regard, and the board is confident that Tuesday Morning will benefit from his service as interim CEO."
"My immediate focus is to ensure that Tuesday Morning's associates, customers and business partners understand that this is a strong, stable company with great untapped potential," Rouleau added. "Translating potential into long-term, sustainable performance, however, will require building on the progress to date and working to deliver greater operational efficiencies from the supplier to store checkout."

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nev. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Monday, January 07, 2013 6:18 PM
Critics who have long accused politicians in Washington, D.C. of being out of touch need look no further than the current leader of the U.S. Senate for Exhibit A in making their case.
On Friday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid declared on the Senate floor that Hurricane Katrina was ''nothing in comparison to what happened to the people in New York and New Jersey'' compliments of Hurricane Sandy last fall.
Reid's comments came as he pushed for passage of an aid package to help residents, businesses and government entities in the Northeast in their recovery from damages wrought by Sandy.
The U.S. House approved on Friday a $9.7 billion check to bolster the federal flood insurance program, but that's a far cry from the $60 billion appropriation that the Senate passed.
That's when Reid weighed in.
''... When we had the devastation from Katrina, we were there within days taking care of Mississippi, Alabama and especially Louisiana — within days. We are now past two months with the people of New York and New Jersey.''
And then this gem: ''The people of New Orleans and that area, they were hurt but nothing in comparison of what happened to the people of New York and New Jersey.''
Ahem, Mr. Senate Majority Leader, here's the scorecard:
Hurricane Sandy: 120 deaths and $80 billion-plus in damages.
Hurricane Katrina: 1,833 deaths and $145 billion-plus in damages.
Maybe in Reid's warped reality, residents of the Northeast are more valuable than us in the South.
And, of course, the esteemed gentleman from Nevada conveniently forgets that had it not been for the failure of the levee system built by a the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — a federal agency — Katrina's toll would not have been so tragic.
We'd like for Reid to come to New Orleans, stand on the corner of Canal and Carondelet and repeat his same outlandish comments so that he could get a dose of reality.
We'd also request he take to the Senate well today and issue an apology to Gulf Coast residents for his asinine remarks.
Those who have suffered from Sandy's winds, rain and tide deserve federal aid to help with their recovery. They shouldn't be begrudged that as those whose lives were touched by Hurricane Katrina and Rita well know.
But, Katrina's victims shouldn't be thrown under the bus in the process, particularly by a D.C. politician who clearly hasn't the foggiest about the subject matter.

Worth noting that John Tukey in his Exploratory data analysis (Reading, MA, Addison-Wesley, 1977) did include a detailed example making it clear that box plots could no do justice to bimodality.

I am taking this out of that thread so that the graphical issues can

If box plots are oversold -- or at least (vacuously) not a panacea --

Delaware County History added to 4-H Blog
Delaware, Cherokee, Pocahontas and Poweshiek counties have added to Iowa 4-H History by County, a blog detailing the history of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development. The history blog is a partnership of the Iowa 4-H program and the Iowa 4-H Foundation.
According to the 4-H online History:
- In 1919, the first 4-H clubs were organized in Delaware County. Ninety boys were enrolled in the clubs, and 21 boys completed projects that year.
- By the mid-1920s, the objectives of both the boys and girls clubs in Cherokee County were to develop rural leadership and a keener appreciation of rural life. Clubs spread throughout the county during the '20s and '30s, but were still project-specific.
- 4-H has been the guiding force for many Pocahontas County youth. They often share fond memories of club meetings, fair activities and life learning experiences.
- The idea for Girls Clubs in Iowa was started in 1917 by the United States Extension Department in Ames, and was sponsored by the Farm Bureau. Poweshiek County was a pilot area for girls club work.
View the full history on the blog, at http://www.iowa4hfoundation.org/4hhistory.
Over the next two years, 4-H staff and volunteers will be reviewing additional county 4-H histories, with two to four being published on the blog each month, said Shelly Greving, marketing director for the Iowa 4-H Foundation.
"We hope 4-H alumni and current members alike use this site as a living history of 4-H. So far we have histories posted from 33 counties, with many more in progress. We encourage 4-H members, alumni, volunteers, leaders and staff to add their comments and continue the history of 4-H, sharing the many facets of each county's 4-H program," Greving said. "Individuals also may choose to continue the legacy of 4-H by making a donation to directly impact Iowa 4-H or their county 4-H program."
Those who wish to support 4-H in their county may make a donation to their county 4-H endowment through the Iowa 4-H Foundation, http://www.iowa4hfoundation.org.

MANUFACTURER: Insight
Review This Item
The INSIGHT Weapon Light One, AA, Laser, QR, Pistol Kit (WL1-000-A1) is the first tactical weapon light to offer powerful performance on readily available AA batteries. The WL1-AA tactical weapon light with laser provides all the power and compact features of the WL1-AA with the addition of an integrated visible aiming laser. Compact, rugged, and dependable, this weapon-mounted light/laser is your first choice for weapon mounted LED illumination.
Insight engineers took the same approach in the development of the WL1-AA and WL1-AA with Laser as they do when designing aiming and illumination devices for the United States military and Special Operations Forces. They applied their combined decades of experience to the direct requests of military, law enforcement, and dozens of tactical professionals around the world.
Operators asked Insight for high light output from the commonly available and relatively inexpensive AA batteries. The WL1-AA uses two AA batteries to produce 150+ lumens for up to 90 minutes from an incredibly durable LED. Agencies using their lights on multiple weapon systems noticed that inconsistencies in rail size between weapons caused fit problems.
The Quick Release Rail-Grabber mount on the WL1-AA allows for a rock solid fit on rails that meet MIL-STD-1913, and on most that don't. A four-position adjustment crossbar provides precision adjustment of the light fore and aft on the rail.

Glazed shallots and carrots provide a sweet counterpoint to earthy, rich venison in this full-flavored stew.
Nutrition Profile:
Diabetes Appropriate
Healthy Weight
Heart Healthy
High Potassium
Low Calorie
Low Sat Fat
Serves 6
Prep Time 45 min
Total Time 165 min.
Step 1
To make stew: Place dried mushrooms in a small bowl. Cover with boiling water and soak until mushrooms are soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain, reserving soaking liquid. Roughly chop mushrooms; set aside.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Step 3
Cook bacon in a small skillet over low heat, stirring, until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels; set aside.
Step 4
Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge venison pieces in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half of the venison pieces and sear until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with 1/2 teaspoon oil and remaining venison; set aside.
Step 5
Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the pot over low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until onion is golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Add wine and increase heat to medium. Cook until liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add broth, tomato paste, rosemary, bay leaves, reserved mushrooms and liquid, bacon and venison. Bring to a simmer. Cover, transfer to the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
Step 6
Add carrots and bake until venison and carrots are tender and sauce is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Remove rosemary sprig and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
To make glazed shallots: Meanwhile, trim and peel shallots, breaking them into cloves. Place in a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, reduce heat and simmer until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
Step 8
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallots, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are glazed and browned all over, 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 9
Stir the glazed shallots and 2 tablespoons parsley into the stew. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.

Gadget Geek's Guide to Game Day BBQ
Throwing a wild Super Bowl Party? Here are some must have BBQ gadgets you'll need for Sunday.
Many people believe that the best thing about the Super Bowl, aside from the game, is the commercials. But we're going to go out on a limb and say that it's when one of your inebriated friends decides to brave the snow and spark up the BBQ during halftime. Super Bowl Sunday is the one day out of the year that gorging on high caloric foods while watching football does not count. Here are four must have BBQ gadgets you need on hand at your Super Bowl party.
Jaccard Supertendermatic 48-Blade Tenderizer
Sure, it may not have an attractive and sleek steel exterior, but its 48 sharp, stainless steel blades that tenderize your meat , get the job done. The Jaccard Supertendermatic Tenderizer will turn your 'supermarket special' steak into one of the best marinated cuts your friends will ever have. Unlike other tenderizers that have to be disposed of when the blades dull, each stainless steel blade on this tool is replaceable for only five dollars.
Cost: $26.
Reduces cooking time by up to 40%
blades cut through tough connective tissues
Made of white ABS plastic, the tool measures 5-5/8 by 4-1/8 inches
Foodloop Flame
If you want to get a little crazy and add vegetables to your meal, this food trussing tool will help you with just that. Built to take on the high heat of a grill and designed with latches to securely keep all of the innards in place, the Foodloop Flame is a no brainer for cooks that constantly battle with evenly roasting their meals. Imagine how impressed everyone at your Super Bowl party will be when you whip them up flank steak filled with bread crumbs, red peppers, spinach and Parmesan cheese from scratch!
Cost: $20
Flameproof to 2012°F / 1100°C
Made of highest grade of 18/8 stainless steel
Reusable and dishwasher safe
Flexible and durable
Securely locks in place
Arthritis friendly
NOT microwave safe
Set of 4
Adjusts from 2" to 6" diameter
Specs courtesy of fusionbrands.com
With the iGrill, you're able to keep an eye on whatever you are cooking by enabling a wireless Bluetooth meat thermometer that keeps you up to date on the temperature and remaining cooking time via an app on your apple device. The future is now. By allowing you to check on your meat from 200 feet away, and having alerts sent to you on your iPhone, iPod or iPad when your meal is ready, this gadget is the best for cooking steaks when you just can't stand and watch it cook.
Cost: $80.
Up to 2 probes on one iGrill device
Kitchen timer
Acts as a standalone thermometer
Tracks temperatures up to 400 degrees
Handle-Mount Grill Light
Don't let the setting sun be the reason why you turn off the grill. The inventors over at Brookstone have developed a waterproof LED grill light that clamps right onto the handle of your barbeque. When not in use, the light automatically turns off and can be swiveled out of the way while you cook. This gadget also comes in handy when you are a little too intoxicated to find the spatula you swear was just there.
Cost: $40
Water resistant
Battery powered
Auto shut off
100,000 hour bulb life

Sorry, I didn't take any. It was raining and cold and Law Enforcement just wanted the area cleaned up. The Tractor Was towed to a local shop for the INsurance Adjuster to examine. Fortunately, it is covered by insurance.
Yes it is my first time in the groves.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Sounds like Mark joined the darkside when he got pulled over going to the south!? lol
I don't know why you said that. If you are going to play in the Majors you should be subject to the same benefits and penalties. Matt is lucky that damage to his tractor and equipment was all that was damaged. Fortunately no one died. Luckily. As I am sure he knows.
I lost 3 barrels of honey off thge deck of my truck and the State of VT sent me a Bill for an unsecured load and the cleanup.
I would advise matt and DC to keep their loads level across the top and covered by a net, noty a tarp, held down by full sized ratchet straps, not those light weight ones he now has. Also, stop and check the load, ratcheting down the load as it settles, especially when you stop for fuel.
Just a cpl suggestions. Things you will learn yourself if you continue, but can avoid learning the hard way if you will take my advice. Things others would tell you too.
Mark Berninghausen
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
Mark, thank you for the advice and as we grow we certainly will heed your words.
It would be interesting to see what other suggestions the veterans have so that what sounds like a 12 hour trip would go better. It sounds like there are some basics that need to be covered that are elementary to the commercial guys, but are not on the radar of the inexperienced. It's -6F here right now. I wish I was in Florida for a week.
Mark Berninghausen
I would suggest hive staples and netting rather than tarp. By your video all of your hive bodys slid as well as your tops. Staples are cheap and would have prevented that from happining. Chains and binders for your tractor!
Even though I never use them, I agree w/ toad about the staples. Especially since you went thru and inspected the hives soon before loading and transporting. I nail my lids down too. Spreader boards help to hold the load down to the deck of the trailer, instead of pulling everything into the middle.
Mark Berninghausen
Mark, you actually nail down the covers? Have you had any weakening of the boxes, tops as a result of repeated nailing?I know I need a Skid Steer and it seems as we are growing that I really do need to invest in my infrastructure.
Also, I am retired law enforcement. I have dealt with far worse un-diplomatic comments, writings, and statements. No worries.

Aha, so you know how to talk to VA State Troopers. That explains things.
My covers are sheets of plywood. Most migratorys I know don't nail down covers. Though I have seen some really big operations that do. They use the same nail hole in the cover each time. Boxes don't deterierate that fast. From my experience.
Mark Berninghausen
I also have special "get out of jail free" license plates. Worth thier weight in gold!
I use 2 deck screws in my covers so the threads bite each time (just don't spin the screw by over tightening our it's all over). I use a dewalt cordless and go from pallet to pallet when I first get to the yard and loosen everything up and give them a little smoke at the same time.
Matt: how do I apply for one of those plates!? Ha Ha!
Mark I thought someone told me you were a retired state trooper that took up beekeeping??
I don't know who that could have been or why they would have said that. Because I am not. Niether retired or an ex-State Trooper. I did play Officer Krupkie in my High School's production of West Side Story. That's as close as I ever came to being a Policeman and wearing a uniform.
Maybe they were talking about Joel.

text: I've asked on a couple of these forums if I should keep old wax that was left on the frames of a hive that was given to me. I have been asked if it has "drawn" comb on it. I have no clue what that means... The frames seem to have wax all the way across it in the shapes of little hexagons. Is this what "drawn" means? And is this considered comb also or just wax or foundation? I am very new. Don't even have bees yet so any advice would be so helpful. Thanks!

What is REDD+
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is an initiative that seeks to reduce GHG emissions. The guideline aims at reductions through protection of forested areas from deforestation (the permanent removal of trees) and forest degradation (other damage done to forested areas). Although GHG emissions are the primary goal, REDD+ also encourages protection of biodiversity, and poverty alleviation.

The only thing I can figure that makes any sense is that there might have been something in the agreement to keep the mudpeople away during the trial. That would be worth the payoff.
Yeah this is pretty disgusting of the parents. But they have been trying to profit from the situation since day 1. Them and that blood sucking lawer who has done everything in his power to keep this about race because it's the only way he will stand a chance.
This whole case has been tainted by the media and the race baiters. I'll tell you what though... Since the Prosecution is extremely weak one can assume Z walks. Once that happens this HOA is gonna feel really stupid.
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?" -Thomas Jefferson-
"Our rights come from our humanity and may not be legislated away -- not by a vote of Congress, not by the consensus of our neighbors, not even by agreement of all Americans but one." Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
The only thing I can figure that makes any sense is that there might have been something in the agreement to keep the mudpeople away during the trial. That would be worth the payoff.
Jesse & Sharpton smell blood in the water now. They want some o dat moola
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
Probably an economic decision on the part of the HOA. If Z is found to be justified in the killing, Florida law shields him from any civil lawsuits so they cannot tap him for cash. In that case, the HOA would also have a stronger case that there was no wrong-doing on their part and could at least be in a better bargaining position as to the amount of a settlement. OTOH, once the costs of going to trial exceed what the family is willing to settle for, you pay out, non-disclosure agreements are signed, and no one admits anything.
I don't know kernel.. Sanford is a nice quiet southern town.. Surrounding A.O. heading north is all rural.. South you hit Orlando..
Not here, but the damn cities will light up if Z is found innocent.. I repeat..Prosecution is pulling out stop after stop for non disclosure.
Factor in blatant lie after lie, and funny thing is they already got caught in them.
Prosecution is going to court with their hands tied behind their back, why lie if you have nothing to hide?
Nappy wants a quiet summer.. They are doing anything to nail Z.. O'Mara is sharp.. He may have a car accident soon..
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
This PC crap never ceases to amaze me. Rodney King attacks the police, gets a well deserved ass kicking and they give him a big chunk of change and now this! At least 'poor little' Trayvon will not enjoy any of it.
the HOA is likely afraid if they don't pay out they will be called racists an spike lee an Sharpton an every other race baiter will twitter the address an the thravon sheeple will torch the complex.
The fact that Zimmerman has not been to trial is irreveliant
Tommo, Mr King attacked no one. He was told by LAPD, "RUN NIGGER OR WE'RE GONNA KILL YOU". Man ran. Even if what you say is even close to the truth, THERE WAS NO REASON FOR WHAT THEY DID TO MR. KING.
After the academy, they're put in a car with a FTO and this person shows the newbee how to do things so the cops actions will look better to bystanders and cameras. They're taught how to 'testiLIE', They are taught how to turn busted tail-lights into felonies. In Maryland 8 cops beat the snot out of a female reporter and her camera guy. All 12 cars on the scene turned up with 'malfunctioning' cameras. A statistacal impossibility and a Federal no-no. There was another unknown camera in the reporters car. The County Prosecutor said that since there was no squad-car footage to coroberate the reporters footage, there was nothing he could do.
They're all scum, from the beat-cop to the judge.
Catholics are fine, but there are a couple of creeps in their hospital system

We are all told the Republicans want to deny people healthcare
Original post made by jimf01, another community, on Oct 2, 2013
CNN anchor asks Harry Reid about GOP proposal to restore funding to NIH, National Institutes of Health:
CNN: if you can help one child who has cancer, why wouldn�t you do it?
REID: Why would we want to do that?

a resident of Downtown
on Oct 2, 2013 at 3:30 pm
HARRY REID: Listen, Sen. Durbin explained that very well, and he did it here, did it on the floor earlier, as did Sen. Schumer. What right did they have to pick and choose what part of government is going to be funded? It's obvious what's going on here. You talk about reckless and irresponsible. Wow. What this is all about is Obamacare. They are obsessed. I don't know what other word I can use. They're obsessed with this Obamacare. It's working now and it will continue to work and people will love it more than they do now by far. So they have no right to pick and choose.
Most Republicans don't believe in science. They don't believe in evolution; they don't believe in global warming; and they have consistently attempted to reduce budget of NIH. Now they want to open up NIH but continue to defund SNAP and children having adequate food? This Republican swill invites nothing but derisive laughter.

Sorry, Hank, I meant to reply to your rant earlier, but i was rolling on the floor laughing. When the dems can't produce a budget in more than 4 years, of course the adults have to step in and determine what gets funded. Your amateur in chief is too busy tilting at windmills and going on ideological crusades, that he has failed to lead or follow the Constitution.
In the next 10 years, the country will be another 1.3 trillion in debt just due to obamacare. So, yes, we all have the right to pick and choose what's best for the country....the most recent gallup polls show a majority are against the implementation of obamacare.
"it will continue to work and people will love it more than they do now by far." You can't honestly believe your own drivel, hank. You're too funny...

May the fight to SHUT DOWN the US government continue FOREVER! It allows more CRUCIAL legislation to proceed.
There is no way that your elected government is capable of stopping illegal entry from Latin America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. There's minimal data re: the 30 million men, women, and children who have arrived illegally and are presently living and working within our borders.
Millions are receiving increased benefits, green cards, free medical care, free food, and a free American education!
I suggest that Americans fight fight fight and keep on fighting with each other and your elected officials. Argue ideology!
Like I said, it allows the more crucial social "problems" to be resolved. As I see it, the more in-house fighting, the more "illegals" win rights!!!
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 2, 2013 at 8:15 pm
Cholo, as long as the second amendment is in place, none of us fear your illegal invasion. This is exactly why the NRA wants to keep assault weapons available to US citizens. Time to go finish my target practice.......

TALLAHASSEE — Florida's seasonally adjusted unemployment dipped to its lowest level in more than four years in February to 7.7 percent, the state's labor agency announced Friday.
It's the lowest jobless rate in Florida since October 2008 when unemployment stood at 7.4 percent in the state.
There were 729,000 jobless Floridians in February when the state's unemployment rate was 7.7 percent was the same as the national rate. Nationally, unemployment slid to a four-year low of 7.7 percent in February, down from 7.9 percent in January.
The U.S. Labor Department said unemployment rates fell in 22 U.S. states in February, an indication of an improving economy in many parts of the country. Unemployment increased in a dozen states and remained the same in 16.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott successfully campaigned on creating 700,000 new jobs in Florida over a seven-year span and has made that the primary issue of his administration.
The Department of Economic Opportunity reported Friday that 128,100 jobs have been added in Florida over the past year with the leisure and hospitality industry leading the way with more than 41,000 new jobs.
"Our efforts to reduce taxes, pay down state debt and grow the economy, demonstrates our success in growing jobs for Florida families," Scott said in a statement Friday.
Scott's campaign slogan, "Let's Get to Work," has been translated into "It's Working," as he begins focusing on a 2014 re-election bid despite an overall unfavorable job approval rating in a variety of polls.
Monroe County, which encompasses the Florida Keys, again had the state's lowest unemployment rate at 4.2 percent while Hendry County in southwest Florida had the highest unemployment rate at 10.8 percent mainly due to losses in state government positions. Many of the counties with low unemployment rates are those with comparatively high proportions of government. Strong population growth in some areas also keyed additional employment.
