The Bedford Rotary Club participated with Teen Leadership students from Trimble County High School in an exercise demonstrating the importance of one-on-one verbal communication without the aid of cell phones and text messages at our weekly meeting on April 28. As non-verbal/digital forms of communication proliferate, one wonders if we are losing the ability (or interest?) in talking to each other.

It is beautiful. Love your organization. Hope i can incorporate some of your ideas , some day!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
It is beautiful. Love your organization. Hope i can incorporate some of your ideas , some day!
sept97, I don't know if the wheels are damaging the floor or not. They doesn't seem to be doing any damage, but who knows over time. I like to be able to roll from table to table, so it isn't a concern I have. The quality of the laminate may have something to do with how much rolling it will take.
amyjo, I haven't used my Rose for embroidery since I got my Brother PE-780D last year. I bought the Rose new, years ago, and it was pricey back then. I only have a small hoop for it, and honestly it was a lot harder for me to figure out than the Brother, which was under $900. With the Rose, I had to use a dongle to put patterns on, and could only do 3X3's. My Brother does 5X7's and it is so much easier to use. I can download designs to my computer and transfer them over to a stick memory that plugs right into the machine.
I do like the Rose for sewing though, and I have such an investment in it that I will not recover if I try to sell her, so here she stays. Technology has come a long way in a short period of time. It is a good machine, and has a blanket stitch on it which my 401A does not have.
Wow, so much space & so nicely arranged & decorated. Great job !!
Dance like no one is watching
Very nice room. It looks very inviting. Enjoy and let your creativeness flow.
This too shall pass.
Great sewing room. Organization is a must in a sewing room. A great place to make some quilts.
Nice work and a great sewing room!

We are here to learn how to live in heaven - I'm still learning.
WOW...What a great space...Thanks for sharing...
Great room . Very organized.
After I move I am going to be coming here for some organizing ideas for sure. I am going from a 15x13 quilting only room, to a 10x12 room with 2 twin beds in it. that needs to be able to be cleaned up for guests. Oh my! Arent we suppose to get bigger play spaces as we get older. LOL
A very cool looking room. I just love the hardwood floor.

The non-Ed Morrissey Show: Bryan Preston and Rick Moran
posted at 2:30 pm on May 4, 2011 by Jazz Shaw
Today, Hot Air welcomes back one of it's long lost, prodigal sons in the form of pundit Bryan Preston. For newer readers who may not remember, Bryan was one of the original writers with Hot Air working under the Boss Emeritus back in the day. He went on from there to produce the Laura Ingraham Show, has served as the communications director for the Republican Party of Texas, and is now a staff writer at Pajamas Media.
When Bryan is done, we'll chat for a bit with Rick Moran, also of PJM, as well as Right Wing Nuthouse fame. (And let's face it, what would a week with me be without having at least one candy-a** RINO at the microphone?) Rick will bring his rather unique views on the fallout from the OBL takedown to the show.
As a reminder, we're back on Ustream now, but using a different channel than Ed's normal one, so make sure you're registered in advance if you want to participate with the usual denizens of the online chat during the show. To join the conversation, be sure to register at Ustream. (And if the log-in prompt doesn't come up in the chat box below, use this link instead.) The Monster runs the chat room for us, and Chris "aka DotD" has bravely volunteered to be our producer.

Author: Merlin Crossingham, Director at Aardman Animations
Feature Film Credits: Chicken Run, Wallace and Gromit- Curse of the Ware Rabbit and Wallace and Gromit- A Matter of Loaf and Death
The Animator Letters Project
I stumbled into animation completely by accident, I gate crashed an afternoon animation seminar a pal of mine was attending, I was 18. It lit all my fires, it gave me focus, I had stumbled upon something quite amazing, something that inspired me, something that I enjoyed doing and something that I could see myself doing for ever. Which is handy as, as we all know animation does seem to take 'forever'.
I transformed my bedroom into a makeshift studio, saved up and bought a Bolex 16mm camera, and started experimenting. I drew, I animated with sand, pixilated my friends and messed around with stopmotion. I got a place on one of the few film schools with an animation course, and immersed myself in study.
Another happy accident saw me land a runners job at Aardman, on Nick Parks 'A Close Shave'. This lead to me getting an animation apprentice ship within the studio. The main purpose of this was to allow Aardman to expand its animation crew in advance of filming its first feature, Chicken Run.
So heres the thing, at this point I had been 'animating' for several years, been through collage, and was on the first step in the industry, but creatively I was lost. I could animate, in as much as I could skilfully make something move from A-B, I could do a technically proficient walk. But of course this is not enough. I remember the day clearly, I was animating a punk vomiting, on hands and knees, puke squirting through his fingers…..I had my epiphany. Lots of established animators had said act it through, so I had, but if I was honest I was just going through the motions. This time I stopped, I got on my hands and knees; I concentrated on where the tension was in my body, I imagined myself feeling so horribly ill, I started to think about it as a performance. Not once was I contemplating how the animation should be done.
Now Years later as a director I can see young animators taking the same journey, I look for the day they forget about the animation. I often ask brilliant animators how they did a shot and the answer usually goes along the lines of, 'Oh, I don't know, I just did it'. They have mastered the craft, to an extent that it is a natural extension of themselves, its intuitive, where the character and its performance is front of mind. The result is not something that moves nicely, that is easy peasy, its when we see an independent, living breathing, THINKING character on screen, that is the animation gold!
So if I have any advice, it is to practice practice practice, make mistakes, learn from them, learn the craft inside out and with time you will forget about the process. Your animation will be an extension of you and your characters will live.
But most of all have fun!

A Snow "Epic" in Grayson Highlands a.k.a Two Idiot Brothers on a Trip
Two days in Spring,
A cold and windy place
Brings two brothers together
Backpacking in VA can be a bit tame compared to wilder places like the Rockies. So I us creative ways to make it more of a challenge or "Epic." My adventure loving brother Joseph (now 14 years old) often shares these "Epics" with me.
As you might expect we've had our successes and failures with this approach. We bailed out of an overly ambitious Linville Gorge hike, froze to death while going SUL in February, and climbed a mountain on the verge of dehydration too name a few adventures that fit under the "don't tell mom" category.
Snow at Grayson Highlands sounds promising so off we go. The challenge on this trip will be to put in a long day and see some new places. We are expecting relatively mild temperatures and carry summer gear but through in warmer jackets at the last minute "just in case."
In the parking lot we realize it is much colder than we expected. I'm glad we brought our jackets instead of our vests. They might just barely be enough to keep us warm.
The snow gets deeper the higher we go and eventually we are hiking through drifts of snow under frosty white evergreens. Its colder and snowier then predicted. We now have no real idea what weather to expect.
As the Mt. Rogers trail swings around to the southern (and sunnier) side of the mountain the snow is thinner. Even so the slippery conditions slow our normally fast hiking speed.
We take a side trail to Cabin Ridge with great views of snow capped peaks. With the wind and snowy scenery I feel like I'm in Colorado not Virginia.
"Look Mom, I'm an Ultralight Hiker!" My baseweight is about 8 pounds for this trip, all packed into my wonderful Zimmerbuilt pack.
Back in the Fir forest the snow is deeper again. Again we hike slowly. I am now positive we will have to change our planned route but I decide to put off any decision till we see what conditions are like up on the balds.
Near Thomas Knob Shelter we enter more open meadows or "balds." So far we've only seen one set of footprints in the snow. I tell Joseph we probably have this place to ourselves.
It is much colder than expected and the wind is brutal. We hide in the Thomas Knob shelter while we have a snack.
I've been hoping that the wind and sun will have kept the route through the high meadows snow and ice free. No such luck. We'll take a short cut and skip the northern part of the loop since we're hiking slowly.
The trail follows a ridgeline over several summits toward Rhododendron Gap.
The thought crosses my mind that for all practical purposes our travel time to the road is at least double what it normally is. If we get in trouble here it will be a long, long way out.
After passing Rhododendron Gap I check the map. Suddenly I realize our problem is not one of shortening our trip; that is easy. Our problem is that it will be dark soon and we need to find a campsite off the snow and off this wind blasted ridge. Otherwise it will be a very miserable and possibly dangerous night.
In my mind I remember this picture from years ago when it was colder then expected. We had to huddle by a fire in our sleeping bags to warm up and Joseph was borderline hypothermic. That is NOT something I want to repeat on this trip.
Now the sun is going down and it is clearly going to be a cold night. I don't know how cold it will get but I'm wondering if our sleeping bags will be warm enough.
I quickly look for the fastest way off the ridge to a protected campsite. I settle on Pine Mountain.
Daylight is fading as we quickly hike back to Rhododendron Gap and turn onto the Crest Trail.
As the sun goes down the temperature quickly drops and my anxiety rises. We move fast but snow and ice slow us down.
A short break to grab water at a spring leaves me shivering violently. Not a good sign. "We're taking the next good campsite we find, no questions asked" I tell Joseph. Our priorities have shifted from an epic loop hike to "Let's not get hypothermia tonight."
Joseph sees a spot in the trees and goes to check it out. There are two open spots for our tarps and it is out of the wind, perfect. This is our campsite.
Starting a fire with wet wood is tough. I try splitting wood then put my knife away, worried that with my numb fingers I'll just cut myself. Finally we dump our alcohol gel over wads of toilet paper and light that under a nest of twigs and birch bark. We have our fire for the night.
We wake up cold and pack quickly in all our layers. Fortunately the predicted snow/freezing rain never came. We skip breakfast in favor of moving fast and warming up.
After warming up a bit we stop to eat breakfast while we admire the snow capped view.
At Scales we turn onto the Appalachian Trail and head down. As expected there is more snow under the shade of the forest. Going down a mountain is much easier as long as you're careful not to fall!
The last couple miles are mostly snow free. Apparently it was warmer down lower. My guess now is that the weather forecast that was supposedly for Grayson Highlands State Park was actually more accurate for the valleys surrounding the mountains.
After a short road walk we are back at the car. We share a brotherly hug and throw our packs in the car. "Thanks for coming Joseph that was fun."
"Yeah, thanks for taking me Luke. That was epic."
As it turned out we didn't do a very long trip by our standards. The real challenge was dealing with winter weather that we really weren't packed for. I would not intentionally live that close to the edge with a 14 year old but we survived and the element of risk made it one of our more memorable adventures.
Gear Geek Notes
The picture above shows my Zimmerbuilt pack. It is becoming my go to pack for most of my trips. For this trip I used the compression straps to shrink it down to a weekend pack size. It replaces a worn out pack and a Golite Jam. It is about 8oz heavier then my old Jam2 but it carries so much better it is worth the weight.
Tarps – I tried out a MLD Cuben tarp on this trip. I like it but was a bit nervous of abrasion damage when I tried to fit it in between bushes while the wind was whipping it around. Joseph needs a longer tarp now that he is taller.
Prolite Pads (short) – Comfy as usual but I really should have packed foam pads as well or at least sit pads for our lower legs. More bottom insulation would have given us the flexibility to sleep on snow rather than looking for a bare ground campsite.
MLD Bivy – Nice but the slippery bottom made for a bad combination with the Prolite and I slid down a lot. I might try putting friction spots on the bottom of the pad. Or I could be more careful to find a perfectly flat sleeping spot.
Trail shoes worked okay. We had warm dry socks for day 2 so we weren't starting in wet socks. Traction devices like micro spikes might have been a worthwhile investment for part of the hike on snow/ice.Mar 29, 2013 at 9:43 pm #1970980

Awesome report! Pushing your comfort level is exciting and kicks the confidence level up a notch too! I ended up bailing on a solo last year because I got so cold. Glad it didn't come to that for you two. Good stuff!Mar 29, 2013 at 9:49 pm #1970981
Well we've bailed before too. In this case we were far enough out bailing wasn't really and option, which is one reason I was anxious to get us down to a good campsite before things got nasty. Joseph gets colder then I do so cold weather scares me more when he's along then when its just me.Mar 30, 2013 at 8:56 am #1971049

Great report Luke, thanks for sharing! Grayson is an area I really want to get to someday.
I laughed out loud when I read your "don't tell mom category." It brought back one in particular that involved my younger brother and my youngest brother who was born with severe cerebral palsy, and it involved the three of us taking a pony and surrey ride in the pecan orchard where we spent summers with my dad in GA. At the time we were 14,11,and 8. We had my youngest brother wedged between us in the seat and at some pt. I let the wheel of the surrey get too close to a tree which upset the cart and caused me to lose the reins. The 11 yo did one of those wild west scene moves…you know the one where you try to climb forward and get the reins while the horse is trotting away, which fortunately he was able to do while I held the younger one tight. All ended well, but the three of us unanimously agreed to NEVER tell mom, although we'd recall it for years later and always have a good laugh. Thanks for stirring that memory, they are both gone now and it was nice to think about that time again.Mar 30, 2013 at 2:54 pm #1971136
Great story Leigh! Glad I tickled your funny bone! We did crazy thing like that as kids and when I was at summer camp.
At summer camp we had so many crazy things happen that my campers had a phrase for it. "What happens in the woods, stays in the woods." They all considered themselves honor bound to keep our shenanigans a secret. Actually I was pretty responsible when I was in charge but we had a few "learning experiences" along the way as I learned what was a bad idea.
I remember one time a kid threw a bottle of spray on sun screen into a fire. I thought it might pop like a small fire cracker so I told the boys they needed to back away from the fire. I wasn't expecting much just a pop. Well a few seconds later it blew up like a handgrenade. I would say the sound was about equal to a 12 gauge shotgun if not louder. The mushroom shaped fireball about 12 feet high. It looked like a mini nuke had gone off. Hot embers were scattered around the fire pit in a 5 ft. radius and hot embers burned holes in our tarp a good 20 feet away. There was a small crater in the bottom of the fireplace. Later I looked at another bottle of sunscreen and low an behold its a petroleum product (and under pressure too)!
Another time a campers sprayed OFF on the floor of our cabin and tried to skateboard through the flames.
Needless to say we agreed not to tell the moms about those two incidents.Mar 30, 2013 at 3:40 pm #1971155

I enjoy each of your family trips so much. Makes me reflect on trips w/my oldest daughter. We didn't take a single one together this season (it's all but over now in North FL).Apr 30, 2013 at 6:45 pm #1982102

I used to live in TN, and Grayson was one of my favorite places to hike. It's particularly stark and beautiful in the winter, but sure can be cold and windy! I've been in an whiteout that I believe was just the old snow blowing around, rather than new stuff falling.
The ponies are pretty tough to survive up there all year round.
TomApr 30, 2013 at 7:01 pm #1982106
Wow nice pictures Tom. That must have been one heck of a storm. We started to go out one thanksgiving and bailed ahead of a storm that might have been that bad eventurally. Wet snow was freezing on everything and I had a gut feeling it was going to be a lot colder then the predicted 20 degrees. It just did not seem like much fun so we made a day hike of it and went home. On the way out we met guys we said they expected more like 10 degrees and 0 degree wind chills.
One thing I've learned (the hard way) is Grayson always seems to have colder temperatures then predicted. Some of this may be the wind chill but I just never feel like the local weather forecast work for that area.

UCLA School of Law Financial Aid
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Standards
Students who wish to receive financial aid must make satisfactory academic progress toward their degree. The UCLA School of Law Financial Aid Office measures students' progress toward degree completion using both qualitative and quantitative standards in accordance with federal regulations. These regulations require UCLA to include all coursework "attempted" in that measurement, including coursework for which the student did not receive financial aid.
Note: These standards are in addition to the academic requirements set forth in the UCLA School of Law Summary of Academic Standards.
Qualitative Standard
For GPA requirements, students should refer to Dismissal Rules within the Summary of Academic Standards
Quantitative Standard
J.D. students will be evaluated annually, after spring semester grades are available. LL.M. and S.J.D. students will be evaluated each semester.
UCLA Financial Aid policy imposes the following limitations on the time to degree for students receiving financial aid:
Grades that meet satisfactory academic progress standards include D or better, Pass ("P") and Unsatisfactory ("U"). Fail ("F"), No Credit ("NC") and Withdrawal ("W") are not passing grades.
Coursework still in progress ("LI" and "IP") will be excluded from the qualitative and quantitative standard measures, and evaluated and calculated only upon completion.
Transfer Coursework,
Summer Study Abroad
Coursework accepted for transfer credit, including summer study abroad, will count as units attempted.
Repeat Coursework
Courses repeated, for which credit was earned on the second attempt only, will be counted both times as attempted units.
Withdrawals after the first day of classes will count as units attempted unless the student does not attend any classes for that semester and receives a 100 percent refund of all fees.
Cancellation of registration on or before the first day of classes will not count as units attempted.
Financial Aid Suspension and Appeal Process
Students who fail to meet Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress standards will be placed on financial aid suspension and will no longer be eligible to receive financial aid. Such students will have 30 days to submit a written appeal to the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Committee and present it to the Office of Financial Aid. In the appeal, students must provide a full explanation and any relevant documentation pertaining to the circumstances leading to their failure to meet the standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress. Prior to submitting the appeal, students must seek assistance from the Dean for Students with the goal of establishing a realistic Academic Plan towards graduation that must be included as part of the appeal.
Financial Aid Probation
If the SAP Committee approves the appeal, the student will receive financial aid and be placed on financial aid probation for one semester. During this probationary period, the student will need to meet the specific requirements of the Academic Plan in order to regain financial aid for subsequent semesters.
Financial aid will not be available for the term following probation until the assessment has been made that the student has met the conditions of the Academic Plan. The determination of progress can only be established once the grades for the probation term have been received.
LL.M. and S.J.D. students who are on financial aid suspension after the first semester of their program will have their financial aid rescinded for the second semester. Upon a successful appeal process, the student will have their financial aid reinstated.
Students who have had financial aid eligibility suspended for failing to maintain SAP standards, and/or who have a denied Financial Aid SAP appeal, may regain financial aid eligibility by bringing themselves into compliance with the qualitative and quantitative components of the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. Students who have exceeded the time limit to degree cannot regain financial aid eligibility through the reinstatement process.


text: New to the forum. Hi everybody! Bought a 2000 Chevrolet Express with 82,000 km, 3500 extended body LS with 5.7 L engine, RWD Have some questions for you guys: 1. My SECURITY light on the dashboard always stays on, van starts and runs fine. Should I be worried? 2. Van takes about 15 minutes to warm up, I am in Canada, -15 Celsius outside. Any way to make it warm up faster? Thermostat is OEM, engine takes long time to warm up before thermostat opens, so changing thermostat will make no difference. 3. Rough ride, can feel almost all pavement holes. Drive the van not loaded as it is a 15 passenger van. Is this normal for a 3500 van or for Chev truck in general? Any way to smooth the ride? Shocks are good, van does not bounce more than 2 times when going through pothole. But I can feel them all. Side door, door on the back hinges are stuck, this is a general problem, the Doorman pins I bought come with lube zerks, but to install I need to increase the size of the hinge hole to 1/2 inch , leaving the hinge with no meat on it. Not going to happen. Any solutions? Just install the new pin and lube it often? Tx guys

But, consider this: A president of the United States just ran a reelection campaign based on the promise of government largess, exploitation of class division, the demonization of success, the glorification of identity politics, and the presumption that women are a helpless interest group; and he did so while steadfastly refusing to acknowledge the looming — potentially fatal — crisis that the country faces. And it worked.
Worse, as David Harsanyi has observed, "the president's central case rests on the idea that individuals should view government as society's moral center, the engine of prosperity and the arbiter of fairness." This stunted and tawdry vision of American life was best summed up in his campaign's contemptible Life of Julia cartoon, which portrayed the American Dream as being impossible without heavy cradle-to-grave government, and in which the civic society that Tocqueville correctly saw as the hallmark of the republic was wholly ignored — if not disdained outright. "Government is the only thing we all belong to," declared a video at the opening of the Democratic National Convention. In another age, this contention would have been met with incredulity and confusion; in ours, it was cheered…
If we are to lose America as it has been, could we not ask that it be lost to something better than this? Our president, a Narcissus masquerading as a Demosthenes, makes big speeches packed full of little ideas, and he is applauded wildly for it. His, says Marco Rubio, "are tired and old big-government ideas. Ideas that people come to America to get away from. Ideas that threaten to make America more like the rest of the world, instead of helping the world become more like America." I will vouch for the verity of these words. I have watched how these sorry ideas play out in the real world, and it is not pretty: They make people's lives worse, and yet simultaneously convince them that any reform will kill them — a fatal combination. Americans should avoid this path sedulously, for that way lies decline.

text: I recently got a TruXedo TruXport roll-up tonneau cover for my truck (truck details in sig). I have been keeping it closed, or rolled out, all the time since I put it on my truck. I got to thinking the other day if that is the best thing to do, given it is a "soft" cover. There are stray cats around my workplace, and I noticed cat footprints on my cover the other day. That got me worried maybe they would poke little holes in the cover with their claws, or weaken the cover by walking on it. Water also pools on it a little bit when it rains. Would it be better for me to keep the cover rolled up most of the time and just unroll and close it when I have stuff in the bed, or do y'all think it is tough enough to handle the day-to-day stuff like weather and an occassional stray cat?

I let the bees fill most of a super of extracted honey, then move it up above a comb honey super during a good flow.
I let the bees fill most of a super of extracted honey, then move it up above a comb honey super during a good flow.
Making comb honey is an art on a good year, and is almost impossible in the bad year.
I reported an observation in another thread that is more relevant here.
Comb honey made with foundation has a thick center wall with thin sidewalls. "Natural Comb Honey" has all thin cell walls. The center wall is the same thickness as the sides. There is a difference when the two are compared one bite from each. The thin-walled comb has a more delicate taste, whereas the thick-walled is more chewy.
Whether this makes any difference in marketability is questionable though, since both look the same in a package, and consumers are not aware of the difference in taste. Might win a county fair prize though!
I don't produce near as much comb honey as Mike Palmer, and like Mike i sell comb honey to other beekeepers to meet their customer demaned, i also sell it at the farmers market.Like mike i don't go along with the contaminated foundation part,i use a thin strip of the thin foundation for a starter on my comb honey frames and the bees fill in the rest (pure comb?) Using the thin foundation for a starter, i've not seen or heard of it having a thick center. Jack
Regards, Barry
What are the characteristics to look for in a hive to produce good comb honey? Is it the way they cap it or how fast they cap it, like to be crowded? I really don't buy into the contamination factor either, especially for thin foundation. The bulk of the comb will be what's drawn by the bees and your comb is only as clean as your bees are. If they're loaded up with pesticides, guess what, so is all that brand new wax they're laying out.
Below is a snippet from the link above:
Twenty-one wax samples from six different commercial and two private foundation sources were uniformly contaminated with up to 10.1 ppm fluvalinate (mean of 2±0.6 ppm) and up to 14.3 ppm coumaphos (mean of 3.3±1.0 ppm, Table 5), which is 27% and 100%, respectively, of mean detection levels found in comb wax overall (Table 1). One organic beekeeper source lacked coumaphos in its foundation, although 0.5 ppm of fluvalinate was still present. Much lower levels of 25 other pesticides and metabolites were found in 21 samples, at an average of 5.7 detections per sample, which is lower than the 8 detections per sample of comb wax overall. Systemics were found less often in foundation (5.8% of detections, Table 5) than in comb wax (Table 1). Other frequently detected contaminants include chlorpyrifos (81%), endosulfan (38%), chlorothalonil (29%) and other pyrethroids including cypermethrin, cyfluthrin and esfenvalerate (Table 5). Interestingly, three distinct old foundation samples from prior to miticide use lacked fluvalinate and coumaphos as expected, but contained more chlorpyrifos and significant levels of other pesticides no longer registered including bendiocarb, p,p'-DDE, and heptachlor (not shown).

Where's all the Round-up that's killing bees... Thanks for the link Rader, interesting reading and I wanted to ask if there had been any studies done.
Here's my post from an earlier thread:
In the document linked below, published by North Carolina State University,http://ipm.ncsu.edu/agchem/5-toc.pdf
glyphosate (Roundup) is listed in group 3
GROUP 3 RELATIVELY NON-TOXIC. These pesticides can be used around bees with a minimum risk of injury.
The .PDF doesn't cut-n-paste well here, so use the link if you don't like my crude attempt.
The biggest problem with glysophate is that it generally has a surfactant as a small part of the mix. Surfactants are essentially detergents, and will kill bees if they get sprayed directly with enough of it.
The other problem with Roundup is "image". It was developed by Monsanto, so it is branded as part of the Evil Empire. Howewer, Monsanto's patents have expired, so today many manufacturers make generic equivalents.
Here's a more comprehensive document on glysophate and and its effects:
Toxicological investigations conducted with bobwhite quail, mallard ducks, honey bees, rainbow trout, bluegills, and other species of fish show that these species have an extremely high tolerance to glyphosate.
If you want to read the complete earlier thread on Roundup, its here:
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
Hi Rader,
I was just being funny. I know glyphosate is an herbicide and should not be toxic to bees. Yep, China makes the glyphosate for cheap these days. A lot of the surfactants are designed to appease the general public as well and can be fairly harsh. People want to see yellowing and burnt leaves shortly after they spray so the surfactants are designed to burn the plants to some extent so there's the perception of hey, it's really working quickly. Glyphosate is deactivated quickly by binding to any organic compounds so tolerance is high is most species, but it's also why you need good clean water when using it.
JRG13, sorry for misinterpreting your humor. The subject of Roundup touches a nerve in some people, and then sometimes all sorts of crazy things get said. Using smilies is sometimes helpful to indicate you are just having fun.
As far as seeing an impact (dead leaves) from glyphosate shortly after spraying, I understand completely. But perception is not always reality.
This paragraph is not directed to JRG13, but everyone who uses Roundup (glysophate). The best way to use glyphosate, is to kill the roots along with the tops of the plants. But it takes time for the active ingredient to travel down to the roots in order to kill them. That means that for people who use higher than the recommended dosages, the tops of the plants wither and brown quickly, but the roots are not affected because the herbicide has not had time to get to the roots. So the plant just resprouts, and people are unhappy. You really need to restrain yourself from applying overdoses, so that the top of the plant will live long enough to deliver a lethal dose to the roots. Otherwise you are just wasting your time and money.

Are there any published studies that compare honey yields in hives drawing new comb vs. hives supplied with drawn comb?
Since the comb builders tend to be a different age than the foragers, apart from a very brief delay while the very first comb is built, I wonder if drawing comb really does have any significant effect on honey yields.
I've been letting the bees make it in jars.cut a piece of 1/2" plywood to fit a super,mount to bottom of old super,drill 9 holes 3 1/2",put 1/2 pint widemouth jars in holes&let the bees do the rest.sell as totally raw.$10 a jar.
Baldwin, I take it the jars hang upside down and open in the hive? Got a photo? Sounds brilliant...what excellent Christmas gifts for the older, ex beekeepers in my life!
You may be interested in this thread (it has pictures):

By putting a one or two in. starter strip of thin foundation on a comb honey frame and the bees draw the rest to fill the frame with new comb,would that not make 3/4 or 2/3 of none contaminated comb? Then again there are those who say that there are chemical residue in most everything the bees collect? Like DDT,for one, that i've read can stay in the ground for 50 yrs.? I'm not saying that commercial wax foundation does not have chemical residues in it, my thinking is, if a bee digusted it and brought it back to the hive to be processed by other bees and cured out without killing the bee, then it's probably not going to kill me. Not to be argumentative, but most everything we eat and drink these days have some type of chemical residue in it. Also if suppliers are selling foundation that can be harmful to man and getting away with it, someone isn't doing there job. IMHO. Jack

Can't open it?
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Open a under firefox html format and it shouldn't be a issue.,,,,,so I've been told,, I don't know shit, just what the boy said.
Or just go to youtube and look up " Ice Team:Set Back Connecticut River Monsters" and you'll see it there.
Oh ok, firefox, I'm using explorer right now
Here's the link to the Youtube video, I'll watch the whole thing later tonight
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Gas powered ice augers!!?? Holy smokes! I bet they don't sell many spuds these days!
Vexilars & cameras?? Things sure have changed since I left the north 30 some years ago.
Thanks Les, I've been checking the fishing channel for weeks.
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
Oh ya,, no fooling around Bradrock,,,,,we have electric augers too,,,we also use Lowrance's with Navionics Lake Charts ,so we have all our bottom contours handy too. I've just gotten back into ice fishing in the last 6-7 years or so and things have REALLY changed,, for sure. The days of sitting on a bucket freezing your butt off guessing where the fish might be,,,,are long gone.
Got a new "Fish Trap" last year,,, my other one was >24 years old,, it got passed down to my son now for may more years of service. So they really do last well for the <300 bucks for a thermal top one. A great investment in comfort. And all you're gear goes right in it and it all folds into the sled part, put the cover on,,, hook up the stiff hitch to the wheeler,, and off we go. It takes 6 minutes to be on the ice from the time we step out of the truck to the time we hit the ice and following our GPS to our "Hot Spots". Everything is self contained either in the trap or on the wheeler as you can see by the pictures.
We fly pretty high tech now days, and a day on the ice at -10 is a walk in the park with all the new gear and cloths that's available. Even with all the high tech stuff I've got I still only have about 2000 total investment ,,,everything included. Of course some of the stuff is transferred from the boat to the wheeler for ice fishing,, all my gear pulls double duty and gets used all year round. So that figure is just for the ice fishing related stuff, still a pretty small investment to keep yourself entertained all winter,, plus just eat some damn good tasting fish besides.
Pretty damn hard not to like a big plate of beer battered fillets and fry's with a good old Sam Adams to go with it ,,,, Oh Yah !!!!
That is way to cool. Thank you much for posting that Les.. Very interesting with the new equipment.. Modern technology, incredible..
Connecticut river was kind of going down hill.. Environmental groups came in and cleaned it up..
What about striped bass, any up your way? Down by Essex Connecticut, where I believe the Connecticut river meets Long Island sound. Lots of bass there now going up to spawn.. Good to see..
Still have not opened that real Vermont maple syrup you sent. Saving it for a rainy day..
How did they get those shots of underwater with the camera angle pointing up at you guys?
That is the guy I do not want to mess with. One bad dude to get in that cold water.

Those underwater pics were done with a "Go Pro",, they do work very well, don't they? I was amazed by them.
No strippers here, but I fish them in spring on the lower Hudson, strippers are a fun catch.
You haven't broken open that syrup yet????? What to Hell ya waiting for?? There's a fresh crop every year, and when it's gone let me know I can get you all you want from the guy a mile down the road,, don't be so damn cheap, it's only something like 18-20 bucks a quart. Hell you blow that much on ammo bouncing tin cans around the back yard ,, better eat it up,, ya ain't getting any younger ya know,,,are you saving it for your ancestors??? LMAO !!!!
Hell I dont know. I keep staring at the "real Vt. maple syrup" and do not want to ruin it by opening it..
They introduced strippers here on the Saint Johns river. Is it "strippers" or stripers? One I keep giving money too. Anyway.
Their thriving, strange as their basically a cold water fish.
They are cross breeding with our Florida large mouth bass. Usually grow to only about the 10 pound range.. They stay in the deep cold clear springs during the summer and start ranging when the water cools down.
Good fighters and good eating..
Nam reunion in April. Will get you the correct shirt size this time..
Have to get sniper his also.. He takes a XXXXXXXXXXXXXXLL..

As for the fishing where your at brother - seeing those bream and bass hitting pieces of frozen hotdog was definitely something one would have to see to believe.
And for the syrup - you ought to open it. It is even good on ice cream. I buy at least a gallon of maple syrup every year from a place in VT. It is definitely worth it.

Lots of good stuff man. Looking forward to seeing more of your armor paint up.
For the boots, you don't need specific fabric paint, but just regular acrylics. I did this indoors, and it dried in no time. It's true that the canvas does soak up the paint - which is good actually. I would recommend an acrylic wash for the boots over rattlecan any day. The wash spreads the paint along the canvas, giving it an airbrushed look. From your pics, I get the feeling some areas on your boots are a bit blotchy. What do you think? I think you can fix that with some sand paper and water to blend the harder lines. Don't be afraid with acrylics. You can always paint over top :)

Thanks for the report. I'm still waiting to see the little SIG.
I'll describe my mag issues in another thread. SD ammo in the gun. I raided the gun safe for leftover 9mm stuff, and off I went.
A nice day, and out to my favorite Nat'l Forest place. Real 4WD only.
I have decided to use the Desantis N58 "belt pouch" on the weak side for my main carry instead of the IWB holster. It's fairly small,
8" long by 6" high by 1.5" thick. Two wide loops hold it on your belt the long way. The gun with 8-rd mag fits nicely pointed rearward,
slide up, with the grip easy to grasp after you pull the Velco tab. Extra 6-rd mag in the bottom. My cellphone in the outside "patch pocket".
I guess this makes me a "Metrosexual" ? OK, it's not a fanny pack. Or a MAN-PURSE !
It is definitely not a quick cross-draw. It took me 4-5 seconds to put the first shot on target. But, I think the benefits of easy
carry/hiding overcome the slowness. Yeah, I know, if you are always in Condition Orange you should always be prepared.
I stacked three milk crates. I stapled my printed home-made targets to a cardboard box. Cross-hairs with three concentric circles.
One, two, and three inch radius. So the outer circle is six inch diameter on 8 1/2 x 11 white paper. All done at seven yards.
And I found out I really need to practice more. I will call my shooting "center mass". All was done drawing from the pouch and
shooting as fast as I could get the sights back on target. So, 1 + 8 in the gun, reload the 6 rd mag made 15 shots each "target round".
First the 124 grain BJHP Rem "HD Ultimate Home Defense". in the gun/mag. Ugly results. 10 of 15 on the paper. Ego is deflated. Badly.
Next, left-over 115 FMJ Win White Box. 13 of 15 on the paper, 10 inside the six-inch circle. Then the last seven rds on a water-filled gallon jug.
Then three go-arounds of some 115 FMJ "Independence". 13 of 15, 14 of 15, 13 of 15. I see a pattern. The "off-paper" rounds are 1-2" below.
Last five of the 50 killed another water jug. I have NO idea when I got this ammo. Probably some gun show back in my dim and dark past.
When I bought the gun at Cabela's in March, they had a special on 115 grain FMJ "MFS". It's Hungarian. "Looks" decent quality ?
So, three more go-arounds. 13/15,11/15. 13/15. Misses are "just low" again. Last 5 in the box for another jug. 7 from the next box for my last jug.
I was going to shoot three more "rounds" out of that box, but my hand and trigger finger started to say, "about enough". The rough texture on the
front and back of the grip (and on the mag extension) are good for grasping. And you eventually notice it. I won't use a glove for "CCW practice".
I had one problem. Not really the gun. I slapped the six-round mag in the gun. You have to do it HARD to get it to seat.
I racked the slide, and it didn't go completely forward. The top round was still inside the feed lips, but VERTICAL. I removed
the mag, and pushed the cartridge back down. The feed lips "sprung" back into place, with no evidence of permanent deformation.
This was the third six-round reload. Including the milk jugs, the 6-rounder was slapped hard to reload seven more times with no problem.
The gun was good. No problems with four different ammo brands. 144 rounds total. 120 rounds for the paper targets, 24 blowing up milk jugs.
I guess "my spring" is good to go. No failures to fire or the "hammer problems" and light strikes that have been reported. All my primer strikes looked good.
It's just been promoted to my carry gun. 1+8 plus another 6-rd mag. What is not to like compared to my S&W 642 Airweight Centennial 5-rd snubby ?
Did I say I need more practice ?
Thanks for the report. I'm still waiting to see the little SIG.

After reading Mr. Bush's website I've decided that going foundationless makes a whole lot of sense. Now, I'm a new beek starting my first two colonies from 5 frame nucs on deep frames in April. I don't have extra drawn frames to act as a guide, just the 5 frames from the nuc. Is there a good way to start with those 5 frames and get the bees to build straight comb on foundationless frames? Seems to me I could arrange frames like this:
E= empty frame
H= frame of honey and pollen from nuc
B= frame of capped brood from nuc
Am I just better off using foundation until I have enough drawn frames to use as a guide on either side of an empty foundationless frame?

Chrome - Google Enters the Browser Wars
In this article on CNN, Google tends to keep talking about changing the web as we know it and being more innovative. But MS on the other hand, with it's IE8 Beta now also available, is pushing the secutiy features of it's new offering such as InPrivate Browsing - not how it adds new innovations to the web itself.
Either way, it makes for interesting times.
Get Chrome Beta:
IE8 Beta:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/intern ... fault.aspx
Some other random thoughts about Chrome:
1. What will now happen to Google's co-markleting efforts with Firefox?
2. Is Google neglicting those that alternate browsers the most, non-Windows users, by only releasing a Windows version?

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I use a topstitch needle for all sewing and quilting. I rarely have a thread problem as long as I use the right size needle for the thread weight. Also be sure the spool of thread is wound to be used vertically or horizontal. Most are for vertical. Manufacturers went to horizontal spool pins because it's cheaper, not better.
Got fabric?
I have been sewing for decades and I still have a little chart to check when I have thread problems. I printed out the little stick man chart from Superior Thread and keep it by my machine. I also made myself a little cardboard chart that says ....to reduce upper thread tension dial the number smaller...to increase upper thread tension dial the number bigger. Below that I printed for bobbin adjustments turn the tiny screw ....tighty-righty or lefty-loosey I keep it in the drawer of my accessories box that came with my Bernina.

Fixing Hot biscutes with Marmalade, which is also one of Momma's favorites.
Wish me luck Fellas.
Doesn't have to be good -its the thought that counts

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Bank of America, which last fall announced plans to lay off 30,000 workers, is about to go on a hiring spree—overseas.
America's second-largest bank is relocating its business-support operations to the Philippines, according to a high-ranking Filipino government official recently quoted in the Filipino press. The move, which includes a portion of the bank's customer service unit, comes less than three years after Bank of America received a $45 billion federal bailout.
Roman Romulo, deputy majority leader of the Philippine House of Representatives, bragged to the Manila Standard Today earlier this month that the Philippines "has secured its place as the world's fastest-growing outsourcing hub." Romulo pointed out that BofA is the last of the "big four" US banks to move their business-support network to his island nation, where the average family makes $4,700 a year.
A spokesman for Bank of America, Mark Pipitone, was unable to provide additional information about the bank's offshoring plans on Friday. "We have employees and operations where we can ensure that we best serve our customers and clients," he told me in an email.
The bank's outsourcing comes amid rising concerns about the security of customers' financial data in the hands of foreign contractors. In March, undercover reporters for England's Sunday Times met in India with "IT consultants" who claimed they were call center workers and offered to sell them credit card and medical information for 500,000 Britons—including account holders at major banks such as HSBC.
To prevent similar scandals from rocking the Philippines, Romulo is pushing a law that would require Filipino companies to "protect the integrity and confidentiality of any personal information collected from their clients, in compliance with international privacy standards," according to the Filipino television network ABS/CBN News.
US banks already are operating call centers in the Philippines, "despite the fact that they haven't actually passed this rudimentary legislation," says Shane Larson, legislative director for the Communication Workers of America (CWA), which represents 150,000 American call center workers. The Indian government is ahead of the Philippines in passing data privacy laws, notes the union, but those laws specifically exempt the call center industry. And that could lead to problems: In a 2005 survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers, 85 percent of the Indian outsourcing companies that responded said they had experienced information security breaches in the previous year.
In a 2010 report on the offshoring of technical jobs, New York's Department of Labor concluded that data security in the medical and financial fields is "of critical concern" and that "other nations' legal systems (especially in developing countries such as India) require reform to match that of the US with respect to privacy and computer security."
Needless to say, the outsourcing is bad news for an already hurting US call center industry, which has shed some 500,000 jobs during the past four years—about 10 percent of the total. The CWA hopes to reverse this trend by pushing the US Call Center and Consumer Protection Act, a bill that would make any company that outsources call center jobs ineligible for federal loans and grants.
In recent years, local governments in the deindustrializing Midwest have tried to boost their economies by luring call centers with generous tax breaks and economic incentives. T-Mobile, for instance, accepted more than $61 million in state and local recruitment subsidies to locate call center jobs here. But it recently announced it would close seven American call centers, putting around 2,000 people out of work—even as it continues to operate centers in the Philippines and Honduras. (The CWA called the company out in a recent report titled "Why Shipping Call Center Jobs Overseas Hurts Us Back Home.")
In addition to the "frustrations" of dealing with customer-service workers halfway around the globe, "there is the bigger picture of how opaque the process is, and, as a result, some of the security questions that are raised," says Larson of the CWA. "I think Americans deserve to know to whom they are speaking and to where their information is going."

Genre: Historical fiction
Number of Pages: 288
What's the basic story line?
In Mississippi, 10-year-old Sugar and other former slaves are working for pay by harvesting sugarcane. They feel no threat to their jobs until Chinese workers arrive to help harvest the cane. As Sugar befriends them and the white plantation owner's son, she tries to bring people of three races together. Can Sugar help build a community when all the adults think their jobs are at stake?
Are the characters believable?
The characters are very believable. Jewell Parker Rhodes gives the reader lots of detail about them. You can picture the characters very clearly in your head. They do not have super powers, and if we were living in 1870, this book would feel realistic.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate this book?
I would rate this book a 9. The author does a great job of adding lots of detail right when you want to learn more. I was sad to see the book end.
