Has anyone used Cellular PVC to build hives with? It is more expensive than pine, but would last forever, and has good insulation properties.
Has anyone used Cellular PVC to build hives with? It is more expensive than pine, but would last forever, and has good insulation properties.
taydeko.... I think I am on the same page with you, but, not sure. I had not heard it called cellular PVC but rather by a Brand name "Versatec". I googled Cellular PVC, and Versatec, and I think it is the same thing you are talking about.
I am running a test now on Versatec. I made two complete bottom boards and put hives on them. I wanted to see if they will warp as badly as the plastic and fiberglass bottom boards of the past. The bottom board is heavier than wood, but, would not have to be painted and would never rot, last forever. So far does not seem to have warped, still looks good. I'll know next year how it turned out after going through winter..
I also made several tops, (just the side and end,) and then used wood and covered with metal. These will work well. I think they would draw moisture too badly if used for the top portion of a top.
I only had pieces that were 4 inch wide, so I did not make a box from it. They can be glued using a special glue (can't remember the name and the can is in the wood shop). The regular pvc and cpvc glue did not work on it. Only bad thing is with the glue I used you have a very short working time until it sets, then it cannot be moved. This turned out to be critical in squaring the frame for a top. Have to work quickly.
So far I have learned this. The material works well. Saws and planes well. It makes good box joints, and the rabbet for the side rail of bottom board works well. Only problem so far is, If you use nails, and you get the least bit off center, the material will bust out a chunk of the plastic. So I started using 1 1/2 staples and the glue. And, working time for the glue to set. If you were making supers I don't suppose you would have to glue them if you are using box joints and 1 1/2 staples. I haven't tried that yet.
I don't think I would want to use it for hive bodies as I believe moisture would be a problem, same as total plastic tops . I think it would be fine for honey supers and I am trying to get some now to try it. My experimental pieces were given to me from cutoffs from a contracting company in Elizabethtown. I hope i can get some more for tests. They said they had lots of small pieces.
Maybe others can chime in with what they have tried.
If you can get small pieces free it certainly would be worth a good test.
Cleo, thanks for the reply.
Versatec is a brand name. There are many brands. I was thinking about making hive boxes with it. I know there are special adhesives for it, and was thinking that gluing it would save a lot of time and effort. I don't plan to use it for tops, I think condensation would be really bad with this material on top, but I think the insulating capabilities might be useful in the bodies, and I use top entrances, so perhaps it wouldn't be a problem for hive bodies and supers. For tops I am thinking about using ready backer board, which is weather proof, but permeable to water. Ready Backer board is 5 feet by 3 feet, so it cuts to exactly the right size for 6 tops of 8 frame hives.
The big problem with the pvc is the cost. I can't find any locally yet, and it costs about 70 dollars per plank. Pretty steep. I have ordered a free sample, but I am not aware of any source of scraps. The cost is high, but if the hives lasted forever....
taydeko...Check some building construction companies, the one that gave me the boards i got, said they had a mountain of it. Problem is they are also bee keepers, and they are starting to build their own bee supplies too. I sold them 14 nucs last year and they gave me the pieces I have.
It does really work up well. Very easy to work with in making box joints, rabbets, etc.
Would be interesting to see how they would work as hive bodies.
If I learn anything more, I will reply here.

How to find the perfect bra fit.
The most important thing is to measure. You have probably heard that an estimated 80% of women are in the wrong bra size. If you aren't sure of your size after measuring, you may need to order more than one size to try on. Once you have your size, it will make ordering in the future a breeze.
How to Care for Sport Bras?
Delicate wash by hand or washer and line dry or dry flat. Do not put in the dryer. This will lengthen the life of your bras. No need for special washes, but using a lingerie wash is fine.
When should you buy new sports bras?
It's hard to give up a comfortable sport bra, but when the stretch starts to go, so should the bra.
Do you need a different bra for different activities?
Yes. If you do a wide variety of things, you'll want several different bras. For example, running will require a lot of bounce control and a snug fit, while weights and yoga needs a soft control bra. The larger your cup size, the more likely you'll need more bra choices to match your comfort with your activity.
How can I improve bounce control?
This is a problem for many women, especially those with larger cup sizes. Look for the best sport bra that has your size. Consider layering a sport bra top over your structured sport bra. For Aqua classes, wear a sport bra or actual bra inside.
Dare I wear my sport bra without something over it?
Of course! Many women like to wear a tee to yoga or spinning class and after they get sweating, pull it off. If feels great. And JunoActive cuts its plus size bra tops generously for full and flattering coverage.
What about Color?
Just because it's a sports bra doesn't mean it has to be boring! Enjoy a pop of color underneath a mesh top or tank!

Play-By-Playmate: Serie-ous Sports Stuff
Jaime spent the weekend watching several series and has some serie-ous things to say.
Sports in April are all about the series. Playoff series, opening series, everything's a series and it's all very serie-ous.
Well I got my fill of serie-ousness this weekend and let me tell you, I have a few thoughts about how things went down.
The Canucks/Kings Series
Last week I said the road back to the Stanley Cup would be a tough one for Vancouver but I didn't think it would be this tough. They are down three games to none and Luongo has been putting on one of his patented playoff performances which for the record, is a bad thing. The 'Nucks are in hot water. They have definitely not looked like a team that hoisted the President's Trophy a week ago. They have definitely not been playing like their season is on the line (which it now officially is) and they have definitely not been able to figure out Jonathon Quick. They will have to do all those things if they want to crawl out of a 0-3 hole.
The Penguins/Flyers Series
Honestly, I expected this to be a bloodbath on the ice, in the stands and all over Pennsylvania. But it has been anything but. In three games, these two teams have managed to rack up 32 goals. 32! They haven't had any time to fight! I don't even know why they bother having goaltenders! Both teams should just pull them and play the full sixty minutes with six men. And the biggest surprise is that it's not even Sidney Crosby and company scoring. It's Philly! The Broad street Bullies! They are officially up 3-0 so like the Canucks, the Penguins need to find a way to get something done so they don't get swept.
The Rays Series
As much as I love me a good hockey game, I think you all know by now that I'm a baseball girl when football's out of season and I spent last weekend at the park watching the Rays sweep the Yankees out of town. Then I watched them steal one away from Justin Verlander. And then everything went south.
After starting 4-0, the Rays dropped two to Detroit and three to the Sox and are sitting dead even at 5-5. But that's baseball. It's a teeter-tottery type of game. One minute you're hot, the next minute you're not but I think just about everyone would agree that ten games into the season is no time to start panicking. Unless…
Your manager makes a series of damaging statements about your play
So this isn't your standard type of series, but Bobby Valentine sure went about calling out his players in a weird way. When asked what he thought was wrong with starting third baseman Kevin Youkilis, he said he didn't think he was as "physically or emotionally into the game as he has been in the past."
Now I'm no manager, I'm just sitting here on the sidelines calling 'em as I see 'em but that seems like pretty harsh criticism coming from a new manager in a new town, commenting on a team leader he's only seen play for ten games. It's ballsy is what it is. The last thing that Red Sox team needs is more controversy in the clubhouse.
And finally…on a Serie-ous note…
It was great to see everyone out for Jackie Robinson day yesterday. Baseball has always been a game full of history and it's amazing to see so many fans and players and coaches support one of the games most important figures. This is a great tradition to guarantee future generations never forget the role he played not only on the field but in everyday life.

Demand for Linux Skills on the Rise, Along With Wages
Young enthusiasts who are looking for a future in IT might well decide to specialize on Microsoft, but before you do here is an interesting point to consider. Linux developers and system administrators will be the ones making the big money, at least if current trends continue. According to a recent survey conducted by the Linux Foundation, developers and system administrators saw pay increases of 5% last year, and bonuses averaging around 15%.
In a recent interview with Alice Hill, managing director of dice.com, it was reported that currently the site is advertising over 11,000 jobs that require Linux experience, an increase of 17% from last year. "It's really hard to find talent in a market that is competitive, and that leads to poaching and new ways to attract talent," Hill said. The average salary for a Linux professional last year was around $86,432, up from $82,575 just one year prior.

Culver schools to try third time for bond measure
Asking voters for $8.8 million; third time the charm?
CULVER, Ore. - After weeks of work, the Culver School District has decided to send an $8.8 million bond measure to the voters. Monday night at a special meeting, the school board voted 4-0 to send a 16-year bond measure to voters -- the third try in two years.
In May, voters narrowly rejected a nearly $10 million proposal -- and a $14.5 million bond was defeated in the fall of 2011.
The school board had discussed other amounts but said they wanted to focus on to on critical needs like safety and security.
The approved resolution Monday night shows the bond would cover:
* Repairs and upgrades including an HVAC system, electrical systems, structural needs, increased safety and security and ADA compliance.
* Demolish two failing elementary wings and construct, furnish and equip replacement facilities.
* Renovate and upgrade instructional spaces at High School, Gymnasium and Middle School, including furnishing and equipment.
* Refinance current debt used to pay for acquisition of the Elbe and Iris Lane property
* Pay bond insurance costs.
Superintendent Stefanie Garber says she's confident the measure will pass this time around.
"I am absolutely confident, which shows that we really listened," Garber said. "One of the sticking points seems to be the property, and so we're going to take care of half of it on our own with district funds."
That property at Elbe and Iris Lane has caused quiet the stir in Culver. The district bought it hoping to expand because of their growing community, but the economy tanked and the district couldn't afford to develop it. Many in Culver were disappointed with the decision.

I have only been here a few days and this is a second thread. I feel as if I was invited into a home and made two trips to the fridge w/o asking. I am going to hold off on new threads but I am very curious about the hall perspectives of Albert Belle.
To me Albert reaks of Kirby Pucket. W/o question one of the best players in baseball who had a surefire hall career cut short by injury. I do not count attitide as a requisite for the hall. If the hall's goal is to contain the best players who ever played then I do not see how Albert cannot be included.
His power stats are amazing.

Every broken clock is right every 12 hours...
If you keep being a doom and gloomer...you will be right at some point, if you are bullish you will also we right.
I have been a bear on real estate ever since 2003, when we first looked into buying and got terribly frustrated here in LA, not to sound like a broken record but of course all realtors were laughing at me, CA would NEVER crash...maybe level out...yeah right, I don't call a 35% drop leveling out - I was stubbron back then and I am very happy to have waited it out...the fact is though...I have lived in a crappy rental for 6 years, landlord is a pain in the ass, I work from home and would love to setup a nice office alla new floors, cabinets, possible break down a wall and extend - all the things I cannot do in a rental. I am in escrow now on a much much nicer house (w/pool), even better neighborhood and my mortgage is going to be only slightly higher than my rent is. (20%down 30yr loan) -
I don't care what anybody says...I don't see how that is not a no brainer. And if the market goes down further - so what? If I don't buy, I still have to pay the rent, in essence I am still paying a mortgage, somebody else's mortgage because I have to live somewhere. I'd rather pay my own. Been on the sidelines way too long. We rented a really nice house for a while in 2003...then the landlord had to sell - BAM, we had to move. Totally sucks living with that uncertainty! And moving sucks anyways...
Funny Thing is...I have kept all 45 listings that we looked at in 2003 and just looked them up on zillow and guess what...that's exactly where we are now here in LA. 2003 prices. Amazing!! Of course, back then I didn't have the downpayment like now so it still helped to have rented all these years.
Don't be a bear forever! I have a few older friends that have been bearish on real estate for 30 years...I almost became one of them :)
Buy a house for the right reason - because you need a place to live. If you are waiting for the market to be at the very bottom then you are speculating just like you would with a stock. That mindset is what has caused the bubble in the first place. Don't expect to make big money with your home. Buy it so you have a place for your kids to grow up. And once its free and clear in 30 years, the kids can have it and rent it out and get a head start like some of you in this forum who were lucky enough to inherit a rental prop.
…Deals are out there!
The only person I feel bad for is the next tenant in this crappy rental house with a landlord that hates to fix anything...but there is always a sucka out there. I was that sucka for a long time...
Now, go and buy a house! The time has come.

text: I've been researching backup cameras for my 2010 Express, and wanted to know if anyone has some thoughts on this scenario: I want to go wireless / not track 20ft. of wire from the camera to the mirror I've seen some 3rd tail light kits - I like this option, but they're really expensive I would like to use the mirror/monitor solution vs. a separate monitor on the dashboard (unless you can convince me otherwise) Can you effectively use a license plate holder mirror on the Express since the tail lights are not near the tail lights (i.e., the reverse lights are on the frame, but the license plate in on the door) I'm ok with building my own kit (I'm also trying to save money and not drop $300 for this project), but want to make sure all the parts go together correctly.

Helicopter crews may fly in Pueblo
City considers agreement with Fort Carson
PUEBLO, Colo. - Army helicopters may soon be flying around Pueblo. It's a friendly invasion.
The city is in talks with airport officials about letting helicopter crews from Ft. Carson train in Pueblo. Pueblo City Council president Steve Nawrocki says Ft. Carson is looking for a temporary place to train a new aviation brigade while Ft. Carson rebuilds its airfield. And that temporary training facility could be in Pueblo.
If the agreement between the city and the Army passes, our partners at The Pueblo Chieftain report that 15 to 30 helicopters and their crews will take part in three-week training sessions at the Pueblo Airport.
But the city has concerns. Nawrocki says he wants the Army to pay the city for using the airport to help pay for the airport's fire protection. Right now, there's only one airline flying in and out of the airport and Nawrocki says that does not generate enough revenue. He hopes the Army training could change that.
If both the city and the airport come to an agreement, Nawrocki says he wants to make sure Army helicopters can't fly in residential areas.
"I just happen to live in the patch of the C-130s and anyone landing at the airport and so I know what kind of noise they can make, so I can only imagine what Blackhawks might be making," Nawrocki said.
As for compensation, Nawrocki says City Council will have to talk with the Army about what a fair amount would be. Nawrocki says the city is looking at making a presentation to everyone, that way any concerns can be addressed.

I just got my package a week ago and the bees are already drawing nice, white, straight comb I am so happy. I have an observation window and can see they are really going to town.
Wondered about an experience I just had with my bees. I removed a bare top bar and some dropped comb from my hive - at night. I reattached the comb and replaced the bar. The bees were extremely docile. No smoke, no protective gear. Not a buzz out of them.
I had read that bees were more aggressive at night. Anyone have experiences either way? Thanks!

For those interested in what I would do if I were appointed head coach of the Warriors tomorrow, read on. Do not read if you belong to the tree-hugging society or don't believe in old-fashioned hard work.
Just as those teams eliminated from the playoffs suffer from the hangover of Mad Monday and finalise the itinerary for the end-of-season trip to exotic destinations, I would be calling a seven-day camp for all players - even those going to other clubs or retiring.
While their bodies are conditioned enough for physical tests I will ask them to endure mental fatigue such as they could never imagine.
Earlier this year I watched a DVD called SAS: The search for Warriors. It shows what soldiers wanting to join the Australian SAS need to do. Soldiers are broken down to reveal, not so much who they are but what they will do when fatigued.
As the DVDsays: "The men are subjected to constant and crushing physical exercise then torturous sleep deprivation. Steadily their bodies are broken down - next it's their minds. Only those made of the right stuff will make it."
The DVD is an insight to how far people will push themselves and it shows why others fail. The physical nature of the exercise is not the intriguing aspect that's about what fatigue does to the mind and how people respond. Some give up and say it's too hard; others fail because of personal limitations which prevent them reaching minimum SAS requirements.
The programme reveals the mental ability of some people and their unwillingness to push through the barrier that will always prevent them from 'making it'. It exposes the worth of those who are willing to try and that's all a coach is looking for in a player; someone who won't give up.
When a coach has players whom he trusts to keep working hard and not use the excuse of a bloody nose or broken fingernail to rest, he has something to work with.
He has no fear of that person throwing in the towel when it gets tough; it's all a leader wants in his team. So many times we saw the Warriors give up this season, which led stand-in coach Tony Iro to express his opinion of the soft underbelly.
He wasn't talking about the physical underbelly but their state of mind and how they capitulated under pressure on more than one occasion; we were all witness to what Tony alluded to. It's true that if we are physically incapable, it's impossible for the mind to function properly, but that's not a reason to not try.
Having the camp now, would give me the answer as to why the team failed this season. It separates those not willing to work hard, those who provide excuses for failing and those who blame something or someone else.
Now I know what I am dealing with and who I need to let go; now is the true beginning for "The Search for Warriors".

"'The City that Works' still does—and stays true to itself."
Visitors to Chicago almost invariably return to their hometowns full of wide-eye praise for the place they've just been. Chicago, they say, is …
Well, they use a lot of words. They're always surprised—that's the word that comes up most often. Surprised by how huge yet paradoxically life-sized it is, surprised by how alive its downtown is (actually two downtowns—the Loop and North Michigan Avenue), surprised by how many things there are to do late into the night, surprised by how much more human it feels than New York, how much more authentic than Los Angeles.
All of that is true—but it doesn't explain why Chicago is like nowhere else. And the reason for that is deceptively elementary. During the reign of the first Mayor Daley—Richard J. Daley, the father of the current mayor Richard M. Daley—Chicago was routinely described as "The City that Works." It was a slogan the first Mayor Daley enthusiastically endorsed. At a time when cities all over the United States seemed to be falling apart, with no one able to stop their decline, Chicago, it was said, always seemed to operate smoothly.
But "The City that Works" is not the right phrase to describe what makes Chicago stand alone these days. Rather, the secret is a turn on that phrase—the secret is the fact that Chicago is a working city. A city that really is one.
Across the U.S., many cities appear to be striving to become urban theme parks—cities as concepts, cities as come-ons. They've given up—they know that the suburbs have won, and that the people aren't coming back. So they dress their downtowns up like a traveling carnival—weeklong festivals, gimmicky food-and-shopping malls, special "nights"—in the hopes that the people who have moved away will occasionally make a brief return if the cities act like country fairs.
Chicago is not a fair, and it is not a concept. It is what it always has been: a city. A true one—and maybe it will be the last one standing. Visitors are welcome, but not necessary. Those elevated tracks aren't for show—they are what they appear to be. That roar from the trains isn't piped-in sound effects—it's there every day and every night. Wrigley Field isn't some cute marketing idea, some "retro" structure built to lure the nostalgic—you're in a North Side neighborhood, and then suddenly you come upon the famous Wrigley, and a block later you're back in a neighborhood. The lakefront, crowded with people all summer long, is no Disney project—Lake Michigan lapped up against this area long before Walt Disney or any other human was here.
Chicago is a city—that's what startles visitors. They might not realize what it is that has left them wide-eyed. But they go home, to places that feel like pale echoes of something they once may have known (or heard about), and they try to describe what it is about Chicago that was so intoxicating … and they can't quite put it into words.
They've been to a city. They've almost forgotten what that means.

Newspaper inserts, television advertisements, and deep discounts do a pretty good job of convincing us that December is shopping season. 'Tis better to give than to receive and all that. But can I convince you to set aside the overstuffed shopping basket, the online shopping cart long enough to consider the giving season?
We have Grey Thursday, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Now we have Giving Tuesday. On November 27, 2012, Giving Tuesday encourages us to give back to the world community. Certainly, monetary donations to charitable organizations are part of giving back, but the folks participating in Giving Tuesday are encouraging other ways to give as well: volunteer hours or simply spreading the word about an organization through social media channels. Check out the Giving Tuesday website to see how your family can make a difference this holiday season.
Also launching Tuesday (prize links go live at midnight) is the annual Passports with Purpose fundraiser. The brainchild of four Seattle-based travel bloggers, in just a few short years the project has grown largely through social media channels. Last year the group raised $90,000 and built two libraries in Zambia. This year, their goal is to donate $100,000 to water.org to fund fresh water wells in two communities in Haiti. Every $10 donation to Passports with Purpose nets donors an entry to win a variety of prizes such as hotel stays, travel gear, or one that's close to my heart, a chance to spend a week the Kahumoku 'Ohana Music and Lifestyle Workshop on the Big Island of Hawaii with some of Hawaii's premier 'ukulele performers.
And of course, we GeekMoms have some favorite charities as well:

I've already looked around the neighborhood and noticed quite a few nectar sources for my bees in addition to my own garden and a school garden we are planning. Has anyone out there had any experience introducing grade school kids to beehives? My two young grandsons live with me and I'm quite sure they will want to show off the hive and I need to know whether or not to just make the area off limits, period.

text: good evening, My name is michael and I am an aircraft electrician in the Air Force. I bought an 1984 GMC K1500 a few years back and it has been my project/hobby/learning truck. It originally had a 305 in it (it was pretty used up), so when my transmission went out (700r4) I replaced the engine with a crate 350 and had the transmission and transfer case rebuilt. I have the interior pretty much refreshed and have done tons of "little" things like brakes, shocks, and the list goes on and on.... I finally have it pretty much mechanically where it needs to be aside from an irritating vibration that I will be posting a thread about. Once I get that taken care of I am going to paint it. I love this truck... I am not restoring it.. just making it last another 30 years!

Houston Chronicle
Sabin's Dr. Peter Hotez and Maria Elena Bottazzi, and Kristy Murray say Houston urgently needs a comprehensive program for disease detection and prevention.
"These are all neglected tropical diseases, and they have become major issues in the health of Houston. This should not come as a surprise. Houston has emerged as an important international-gateway urban center that is growing rapidly. In fact, we soon will become the third-largest U.S. city, while our port is one of the largest in the country. All these factors increase our risk.
But globalization also carries with it a responsibility to care for the poorest people who face the greatest risk of global disease because of poverty, human migration and climate change."

FAIL: Columnist Doesn't Realize Traditional Viruses Won't Run on Windows RT

There's also nary a mention about Microsoft's pro-security switch to a walled garden model
Online newspaper
has published a
pretty interesting account
ripping into Windows RT, which it calls "Doomed". The author, Geoffrey James, has a big warning to business -- "inherently unstable and insecure."
The author lauds Apple, Inc.'s (
) iPad as the new paradigm of glorious computing and security, while lashing Microsoft, writing:
I used to work in an operating system development group. One thing I learned back then is that any OS that allows applications to modify the OS will be inherently unstable and insecure.
Since Windows is designed to allow that to happen, both computer viruses and the gradual "rot" of the software installed on a Windows system are both inevitable. There is no way to fix the problem because it's inherent in Windows's design.
I'm a case in point. While I'm still using a Windows machine for most of my writing, I'm serious thinking of "taking the leap" to only using my iPad simply to avoid the support headaches that are inevitable with Windows.
In short, the Surface is doomed because the entire concept behind it is flawed. Even plain Windows is getting so old and creaky that it's getting to be more a bother than its worth.
But the columnist misses (or at least never mentions) that the
device he targets in the byline (Surface)
is currently
only being sold
with Microsoft Corp.'s (
) Windows RT (Surface Pro -- the x86 version --
isn't expected until next month
). And not a single piece of
Windows malware can run on Windows RT without recompilation, as it runs on a fundamentally different architecture/instruction set (ARM) versus past versions of Windows (x86).
Surface RT can't run traditional x86 malware.
In other words, the columnist's negative experience of getting his laptop penetrated by a "root kit" is drastically less likely to occur in Windows RT, particularly while it enjoys such a peachy (from a security perspective) low market share, compared to traditional Windows.
Another thing the columnist seems to miss is that
Windows 8 and Windows RT Microsoft offer perhaps the biggest pro-security (but
) shift that has helped protect the iPad -- the
switch to primarily using a "walled garden" model
of software distribution. In Windows 8 you primarily buy apps through Windows Store. Microsoft verifies each of these apps and can yank any app at any time if it is later discovered to pose some sort of security risk.
Microsoft now uses a similar pro-security "walled garden" model as Apple, pushing certified-safe apps from the Windows Store. [Image Source: ZDNet]
Granted, Microsoft does practice
a laissez-faire policy
regarding Windows 7 legacy software (which won't run on Windows RT, but will generally run on Windows 8) and plug-in based distribution models, such as the Java-based Valve client. In this regard it differs from Apple who strictly prohibits such freedoms. But increasingly from here on out users will be getting their apps from a single secure source -- Microsoft.
Additionally, the apps in Windows 8 are nicely sandboxed. They simply are not allowed to "modify the OS" as the author suggest. Windows 8 and Windows RT have robust protection against traditional attack vectors like memory injection, protections that rival those in the OS X tree.
Some criticisms of Windows 8
have been
more level-handed
pointing out perfectly valid opinions that many share about places the ambitious user interface redesign
may have
gone too far. But some criticisms -- such as the argument to buy an iPad instead of a Surface RT because Windows is "unstable and insecure" -- are simply bizarre to the point where they almost appear to be
a comedic caricature
of misconceptions surrounding the Windows platform.

Holiday shipping gets busy in Bozeman
BOZEMAN, Mont. - FedEx called the Monday two weeks before Christmas its busiest shipping day of the year. In Bozeman, a local UPS store said they were feeling the rush, as folks hurried in to ship presents on time.
"Are these all going to one place, or separate?" asked a UPS worker, as Mike and Carole Dowd loaded presents onto the counter. "All together," Mr. Dowd said.
Many people like the Dowds are shipping off presents to loved ones for Christmas.
"Toys for the grandkids in Virginia," Mike said, about the nature and destination of the gifts.
They want to make sure those gifts arrive in time to make it under the tree. "Don't want to be late," he said.
So they came into the UPS Store two weeks ahead of Christmas, on one of the busiest shipping days of the year.
"With Christmas being on a Tuesday this year, everything needs to be there by Friday. So you're losing actually four days" said Tracy Asbell, owner of the Bozeman UPS Store.
He said because Christmas is in a tough weekday spot, and it can take six days to ship to locations like the east coast- people are sending gifts as soon as they're buying them.
"People are spending all weekend shopping, and then they're coming in on Mondays trying to get everything out," he said.
By noon Monday, their outgoing shipments area was filled with dozens of boxes, waiting to get picked up. Asbell said by the end of Monday, he expected there'd to be over 200.
"This one will be there, looks like Thursday or Friday," Asbell said, as he rang up orders for customer Karen Leech.
Leech said she made a few trips to the UPS Store over the course of the day, to ship boxes to both the east and west coasts.
"Here I am for my second trip- and I have another box to take home" she said. When asked when she'd make her third trip, she said "probably today."
Asbell and his employees rushed around, prepared all the boxes. But he said for them, the busiest time may be yet to come.
"Next Monday is what the UPS stores normally call 'Black Monday,'" he said. "It will be quite busy, we'll have 20 to 30 people standing in line."
In-store customers weren't the only factors to the a busy day. Asbell said a lot of people did online shopping over the weekend, and those orders all processed Monday.
He said on an average day, UPS logs around 12 million packages into their system worldwide.
In the weeks before Christmas, he said that number jumps to 17 million.

In its continuing drive to cut costs and streamline operations, security software giant Symantec confirmed Thursday that it will be cutting jobs.
Responding to a report by the AllThingsD blog that 1,700 positions would be eliminated, a company representative called that number "pure speculation," but in a statement acknowledged that "Symantec is in the midst of a companywide transformation. As part of this effort, we are engaged in a companywide reorganisation. As a result, some positions are being eliminated."
The company's fix-it plan has been known publicly for months, while the precise head count of those losing their jobs remains a mystery. Thursday's blog post, which attributed the 1,700 number to "sources familiar with the company's plan," said the layoffs would be done in stages, beginning as early as this month. In its May annual report, Symantec claimed 21,500 workers. If 1,700 lose their jobs, that would amount to about 8 per cent of the company's total workforce.
Analyst Fred Ziegel with Topeka Capital Markets said that in light of previous statements by management about cost-cutting, "that 1,700 number seems consistent. They've been pretty vocal about the fact that essentially they have too many people, particularly too many in the middle management layer who in many cases didn't have many people to manage to begin with. So this comes as no surprise."
Symantec CEO Steve Bennett said in the company's third-quarter earnings conference call in January that he expected to make "a reduction of the workforce," including "fewer executives and middle management positions." The former Intuit CEO, who took over Symantec in July 2012 and who was recently appointed by President Barack Obama to a national security advisory council, explained at the time that Symantec was "underperforming" and its employees "a bit demoralised."
Industrywide cuts
Word of the downsizing comes on the heels of other workforce reductions around Silicon Valley. Sunnyvale, Calif., data-storage firm NetApp in late May announced 900 layoffs, and earlier this month San Francisco social-gaming company Zynga said it was letting 520 people go.
Despite the upheaval wrought by downsizing their staffs, Symantec and NetApp have continued to rack up strong financial results: Symantec was the 12th largest Silicon Valley technology company for calendar year 2012, with sales of $US6.8 billion, and NetApp was directly behind with revenues of $US6.3 billion.
In anonymous posts on the workplace-review site Glassdoor, two repeated themes among Symantec workers were apparent: It was a great place to work, but a reorganisation was clearly in order.
"Any major restructuring, if well-planned and executed, is painful and takes time," wrote one employee. "Seeing people lose their jobs is never pleasant."
Another staffer described Symantec as having an "open, kind, helpful and hardworking culture" with a "ton of great talent," but said the place was saddled with "endless layers of management."
Bennett apparently agrees. In January, Bennett laid out an aggressive plan to turn the company around, telling Wall Street analysts that it would include layoffs, adjusting the sales team and boosting R&D. "I think our system is just broken," he said during the first quarterly earnings report since taking the helm.
Initially, it was rumored that about 1,000 jobs would be eliminated. But then during May's conference call, during which Bennett called fiscal 2013 "the start of the transformation of Symantec," analysts noted that the company had actually reported an increase in head count, suggesting that even more layoffs were imminent.
In its recent annual report, the company again reiterated its intent to cut staff: "By the fall of 2013," it read, "we expect to reduce the number of management layers from our existing structure."

Vittoria Zaffiro Pro - $21.50
We're going to let you in on a little secret: Just like us, the professional riders of the world often train on clincher tires. And here you probably thought those boys only rolled on the most exquisite tubulars for all of their riding. Pros use clinchers for the same reasons we do -- changing flats is less of an ordeal, and durable rubber takes precedence over weight when you're logging big miles. Vittoria knows the importance of arming yourself with dependable tires, which is why it continues to provide riders of all levels with its respected Zaffiro line. The Zaffiro Pro is a hard-wearing, reliable tire constructed out of Vittoria's Aramid Endura compound. It's built to roll fast, far, and without incident. The nylon Puncture Resistant Belt (PRB) found in Vittorias higher-tier rubber, like the Open Corsa and the Rubino, is also used here. The Zaffiro Pro accomplishes all of this without adding an exceptional amount of rotating weight. The Zaffiro Pro incorporates Vittoria's Aqua-Flow tread, with deeper grooves in the middle and shallower shoulders, meaning you'll get excellent cornering in both wet and dry conditions. Since it's a 60 TPI tire, the overall cost is reasonably low for the high quality you receive. The Vittoria Zaffiro Pro is available in Black tread with black sidewalls only and in a 23mm width. - $21.50

Landscapers say it's easy to keep lawns green under new water restrictions
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs' City Council approved of water restrictions proposed by Colorado Springs Utilities on Tuesday.
Under the new restrictions, homeowners and businesses would only be allowed to water their lawns two days a week starting Monday.
Odd-numbered homes will water on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Even-numbered homes will water Sundays and Wednesdays. Businesses will water lawns on Mondays and Fridays. Also, lawns must be watered between 6 p.m. and 10 a.m. on assigned days.
People spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on their yards but some landscaping experts said the water restrictions won't kill their investments.
Homeowner Dean Stone was uneasy about the water restrictions.
"My trees are really going to suffer. I've got some really nice trees, awesome color in the fall. They're budding out now so I just want to give them all the extra water I can," said Stone.
Under the new proposal, Stone and others will be allowed to water their trees, plants and shrubs with an "active positive shutoff nozzle" any day of the week. CSU explained it's a hose with a head on it that you can shut on and off with your hand as you're using it.
Brent Harl with Lawn Doctor said your yard's biggest enemy during the drought will be mites. Harl said water helps deter mites but under the restrictions, people will have to water less.
He said gray grass is a tell-tale sign of mites. He explained it's easy to check for mites.
"You'll go to where there is some green grass [mixed with the yellow grasses in your yard] and brush vigorously onto a piece of paper. You should see some spots [on the paper] and then you squish them and they're like blood," said Harl.
Despite steps to protect your lawn, a neighbor's poor upkeep of their yard can impact your lawn's health.
"If you have neighbors that aren't maintaining their lawn, that's where the bugs typically come from," said Harl.
Harl explained brown-colored grass doesn't mean your lawn is dead. It's a sign that grass is dormant and with water, it will come back.
Three landscaping experts reiterated the importance of watering within CSU's specified watering time of 6 p.m. to 10 a.m. They said watering that time means less water evaporates, maximizing the amount of water your lawn gets to absorb.
CSU said it will be taking an "education first" approach to the restrictions. If someone is reported to be watering when they aren't supposed to, they will receive a notice. After someone is caught watering twice when they aren't supposed to be and they receive a two notices, the next step would be to issue a violation.
However, a CSU worker must witness and videotape the homeowner watering illegally before a violation is issued. The penalty will be $300 and with each violation, the money amount could increase. The maximum penalty would be $1,000.
CSU could go as far as shutting off a customer's water, but CSU said it's never had to do that.

Very nice room in a very nice flat.
Flat's clean and comfortable and pretty central, the price/performance ratio is very good.
A small supermarket is just around the corner and Liverpool street station isn't very far either, perfect for a short trip.
Great place to stay! Can't fault a thing. Kaz is a great host and very quick to respond. Pleasure to stay here and will be back to stay at one of Kaz's many apartments on several occasions!

Nice spacious room. Good location for where I needed to be. Reasonable price.. Bit loud outside at night on the estate at time but you get used to it. ;)
it was a perfect location for us, as we needed to be on Brick Lane almost every day for our exhibition. Clean and neat room, no problems with neighbours at all! Equipped kitchen, awesome if you want to save some money on food. Highly recommended!

CEH Questions
I have some questions that i hope you can help me with and which i hope will be able to help others.. Was supposed to write my CEH exam on 16/07/07 but due to technical difficulties experienced by the testing centre i have been left in limbo.. but i am not complaining as it gives me more time to study..
1.) Is it possible to block/prevent attackers from running any sort of traceroute into your DMZ?
2.) Using a 802.11b wireless nic on your laptop with Netstumbler installed, you would like to scan an 802.11g network? Why is this not possible?
3) You are doing IP spoofing while you scan your target. You find that the target has port 23 open. Anyway you are unable to connect. Why?
4) I notice repeated probes to port 1080. I learn that the protocol being used is designed to allow the host outside of a firewall to connect transparently and securely through the firewall.what would be your inference of what is happening/happened? Could someone be using SOCKS on the network to communicate through the firewall?
Your help is most appreciatted and i hope that i can to oneday give back..

Union County, located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, was formed in 1842 from Mecklenburg and Anson Counties. Democrats wanted to name it for one of their leaders (Andrew Jackson) and Whigs for one of theirs (Henry Clay), so "Union" was chosen as a compromise. It is situated along the South Carolina border. Early inhabitants of the area included the Waxhaw and Catawba Indians; German, Scotch-Irish, English, and Welsh settlers followed. Monroe, the county seat, was incorporated in 1844 and named for President James Monroe. Other communities in the county include Weddington, Indian Trail, Stallings, Wingate, Marvin, Lake Park, New Salem, and Fairview. Union County's notable physical features include the Rocky River, Lake Twiddy, Lee Branch, and Richardson and Beaverdam Creeks.
President Andrew Jackson was born in the Waxhaws area on the border of North Carolina and South Carolina, and both states claim to be his authentic birthplace. Union County maintains the Museum of the Waxhaws and Andrew Jackson Memorial to honor Jackson. Wingate University was established in Wingate (near Monroe) in 1896. Union County landmarks and historic sites include the Old Union Courthouse, built in 1886; the Confederate Memorial, erected in 1910; and the North Corner Boundary Stone, dated to 1818. Cultural institutions include the Union County Heritage Room; the Jesse Helms Center, an educational institution promoting free enterprise and other values championed by the Monroe native and longtime U.S. senator; the Rainbow Theatre; and the Waxhaw Historical Festival and Drama Association. The county hosts popular festivals and annual events such as the Waxhaw Scottish Fair and Games, the Blooming Arts Festival in Monroe, the Marshville Boll Weevil Festival, and the Weddington Fall Festival.
Part of the fast-growing Charlotte metropolitan area, Union County experienced rapid growth in the late twentieth century. By 2004 it had an estimated population of 151,800. Despite increased urbanization, agriculture remains vital to parts of Union County. Its agricultural goods include soybeans, grains, cotton, eggs, dairy products, poultry, and hogs. Manufactured products include industrial pumps, furniture, textile machinery, and plastic containers.

Thoughts on The Arctic Cooling GCM
Posted on 18th Feb 2011 at 07:39 by Joe Martin with 25 comments
You've seen gizmos like the GCM before, probably. It wouldn't be out of place on the prize rack of a fairground attraction, or in a machine at that really run-down arcade that your parents never let you go to. The packaging is emblazoned with bold claims that try to sell the GCM to you on a sheer value factor – 80 games in 1? Wowee! – all of which strengthens the impression that it's going to be rubbish.
But, hey, at least it comes with its own Arctic Cooling batteries!
