do some of you do it, i ask because this year i took very strong hives to the almonds 16-18 framers and i am afraid they are going to swarm. I'm planning on splitting them after the almonds should i super them now. thanks

I know that the blooms get a fungicide spray while their blooming and I've heard the honey is bitter.
My two cents.
I was putting feeders on Tuesday. Bees were flying well and bringing in lots of pollen, but there was very little nectar shakeout where I was in the Chico area.That orchard actually had very little in bloom yet.I am always more concerned with keeping feed in the hives than anything else. I know some beeks who will get some foundation drawn on almond nectar if it is one of THOSE years.
Yes some years there is a big nectar flow and some hives will swarm before you get them home.The way i deal with those is not look up at the trees.
Loggermike, Do you feed 2:1 surup while they are in the almonds?
I think most who super are getting ready to pull off a split (triple deep) or making it easier to shake bees (western and excluder, smoke bees up).
Watch the night time lows and make sure strong hives full of bees, don't move more brood than the bees can cover if it gets cold, you will probably be OK.
The reason most don't do it is extra equipment, less hives on truck moving/out of town. Just easier logistically to start splitting once they are out of the almonds
>Do you feed 2:1 surup while they are in the almonds? <
I am feeding Prosweet 77 cut 10% with water. Liquid sugar is actually cheaper right now.
>The reason most don't do it is extra equipment, less hives on truck moving/out of town. Just easier logistically to start splitting once they are out of the almonds <
Exactly. Mine get a super and excluder as soon as they get home. Then I shake bees when I need them.
Mike is up in the far North end of almonds, can probably still see snow on the mountain.
A friend of mine supered a hive he had in almonds last year just to share the almond honey. You talk about some unusual tasting honey. You should take one super just to experience it.
Yes almond honey rates right up there with fresh black olives right off the tree! Tasty indeed.
LoL logger, it's not surprising it tastes bitter when I think about it, almonds are pretty bitter all the way until they're cooked almost.
Interesting indeed.
One observation I've noted is that the flavor of almond honey is in the realm of bitter almonds. It has the same TWANG.... Strange that all the almonds kick out that nasty nectar but some trees kick out the sweet nuts.
And yet the bees do so well on it. Maybe this will be a good year for the bees to fill up. The north wind was blowing the last trip down so that was limiting the nectar. Looks like some rain coming next week. I bet the fungicide spraying will be going full bore today.
I'm wondring if the fungicides contribute in any way to the taste of the honey. I can't eat cherries (which are one of my favorite fruits) anymore because of the nasty taste/sensation I get in the back of my throat.
I love naturally bitter foods and would be curious to taste some almond honey that hadn't been exposed to any fungicides/pesticides. Does such a honey exist?
I have never heard of anyone getting enough of a surplus to harvest. Hive demands are great, I am happy getting bees out that are as heavy as they went in. I would concur, though, it is bitter to the point of being almost inedible in my mind.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
Ramona, do you attribute the cherry thing to spraying? My biggest complaint about most cherries in the store is they taste like crap. Either not sweet, or they're mushy, or they're kind of sweet but no real flavor to them. I can't wait for my new trees to be productive, I miss my old ones. I never sprayed anything, but I recall one of the trees produced some really bad tasting cherries time to time, typically it was the pollinator variety I grafted on there, but it was like eating plastic polymer it tasted so bad. The last few years was fighting the Cherry Vinegar Fly.... but hey, a little extra protein in your fruit doesn't hurt right.....
Can't beat Washington cherries right out of the orchard.
The almond honey will be mixed with sugar if you feed them before almonds. I use any excess for nucs.
A few weeks ago I googled "cherries pesticides fungicides allergies" and found that cherries are some of the most treated agriculture...if I'm remembering right, upwards of 60 different substances are used, some almost always, some rarely.
The variety of cherry does not seem to make a difference to my mouth as far as the nasty chemical taste.
This year I will pay for organic cherries (if I can find some) and see how it goes...I love cherries and miss them...
""It's concerning," said Jason Belden, an environmental toxicologist at Oklahoma State University. "We have limited toxicological data for a lot of these compounds."
Fungicides are contaminating the majority of water bodies tested in states where there is heavy use, such as in Maine, Idaho and Wisconsin. Some are known to be highly toxic to aquatic creatures, but little is known about whether they are actually harming frogs or other animals in the environment. The potential threats to people are unknown, with new research on lab mice linking them to obesity."

I have no idea what that's worth, but I think you should post it on GunBroker, put it on starting at 1K and if no one bids relist it for a while then drop the price a little after a few tries. You don't pay anything unless it sells.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
I agree with Coils, that is a true collectors piece and looking at what a real Luger's is worth now days you may want to investigate a little further before even posting it on GunBroker.
Quick followup, I googled Erma Werke Interarmco, and a bunch of stuff kicked up. You might want to do the same, but here is a sight that had the instructions for your kit. Hope I could help but its off to work now. Good luck. Bob
Erma SE 08 Interarmco Conversion Kit for Luger Pistol
thanks I printed the manual. I always do things backwards. I had about 15 luger's so I started selling the common stuff now all I have left are the rare stuff that I don't want to fire(da!!) I have another kit like this in a nazi marked wooded box that is numbers matching to a nazi gun I also have. So I only have 5 left and all are guns that I won't shoot so I have no use for this kit my book shows it at about $750 but from what I can tell there are not many around so I started high. I have fired a gun with this kit in it and it is a hoot to shoot and cheap unlike shooting 9mm ammo. I have never used this kit but I just figured someone might like it to use on there shooter gun. If not then it can go back in the safe thanks for the info
Do you still have your conversion kit for sale?
I see that I don't have enough post for email......

Play-By-Playmate: Around The Horn
Another big weekend in sports is behind us and Jaime has a recap of all the action.
Another big weekend in sports! With so much going on I don't even know where to begin. And with that, here's the latest "Play-By-Playmate 'Round The Horn."
Braun Over Brains
First off, I was pretty surprised to see Ryan Braun win his appeal. Baseball won't even overturn a bad base-running call so for them to overturn a 50 game suspension for banned substances is really something. Secondly, where does baseball go from here? This is obviously a huge "win" from where the Brewers are standing but I'm not so sure I'm ready to call it that just yet. He didn't really win. He convinced someone that some guy couldn't get to Fed Ex on time. Or wait, no. He convinced someone that a criminal mastermind has been waiting his whole life to personally tamper with a urine sample. That a pee collector somehow finagled his way past all the protective seals and procedures and replaced Ryan Braun's sample with a dirty dose of urine. Ya, right.
No offense to Ryan Braun fans out there, but I think it's more likely that Ryan Braun failed a drug test than a massive pee conspiracy is afoot. Granted this COULD have happened, it probably didn't but it will be interesting to watch how MLB plays their cards the next time this happens with a big name player.
No Left Turn
I was ready to sit down and watch some NASCAR yesterday. Seriously. Sunday afternoon, no football. It seemed like the perfect thing to do but NASCAR never happened. For the first time in 56 years the Daytona 500 was postponed until today, when I'll be on a plane and unable to watch. This isn't the worst thing for NASCAR though. It's bad for the fans who sat out waiting all day in the rain yesterday (sorry guys) but NASCAR is getting a prime time seven o'clock spot on Monday. It's the perfect chance for them to make more history after last year's epic finish by rookie Trevor Bayne and of course this year's first ever rain out. Good luck guys.
RGIII…or II?
RGIII might just become RGII after his impressive combine performance over the weekend, which is bad news for me and my Dolphins. A few months ago we had a real shot at the Heisman winner but over the last few games of the college season, it looks like Griffin will be going second overall in the draft behind Andrew Luck. That means the Dolphins will have to make some moves to get him and if history has taught me anything it's that the Dolphins always disappoint me on draft day. With any luck we'll get OT Riley Reiff from Iowa to protect…well, nobody. Oh, and for the record, I'm opposed to Manning in Miami. We need a permanent quarterback solution. No one even knows if Manning can throw.
The Stars Align
And finally we saw two types of stars come out last night for the Oscars and NBA All-Star Game. The one thing I love about the NBA game is that the players come to play. A lot of people hate on the Pro Bowl because it's a lot like flag football, but come on, these guys are 300 pounds of awesomeness. If they played all out they'd risk serious injury. I'm not saying basketball isn't a physical sport (Kobe did break his nose last night) but it's a different game and because of that the players can come out and give it their all. Like Kobe who broke three All-Star scoring records including his Airness' to take the top spot or Dwayne Wade who posted a triple-double. I don't think Kobe's record will stand for very long with Kevin Durant and LeBron James hot on his heels but it was good to see him get there. He's earned it.

Idea #1: Be a Show-Off
When you find an element that you really love—like the beautiful iridescent glass tile in this bath—it's okay to forgo a less-is-more mentality. Instead, consider cladding each of your room's walls (and bathtub surround) in your favorite mosaic to lend a cohesive element to the space and give it a spa-like feel.

Hmm, I wonder why.....
Hmm, I wonder why.....
Because Giants fans are so accustomed to getting their way that you get upset if another teams fan comes in and talks ****, despite it being a smack talk forum.
must be entertaining for you guys to maybe get to another playoff game in all these years.. maybe you win another one in the next century or so..
i don't care for the nfc east title really.. you cowgirls can have it.. all we need is to get to the playoffs and that's when the magic starts..
kerrigan stfu ur team has been trash since 1993 u have nothing to say of any bragging in here get lost..maybe a strike season will roll around again and youll win another superbowl eh...like 2 of your BS trophies
i love it how all these loser skins fans suddenly pop from the wood work cause BOB gives them so much hope...newsflash he will be out of nfl in 5-6 years because of your scheme and injury same with morris...lol keep runnin that boy hard i love it..he will not last 3 more years
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
Lets just look at the teams in question.
One has an aging Offensive Line, a Defensive Line that can't seem to do anything this year despite getting paid a ton of money and being anointed amazing, and a QB who is the only thing going for them and he isn't getting any younger while the competition is.
The other hand, you have a team with a 2 Rookie QBs, a Rookie RB, and a young offensive line who's let them run all over the team above this year. Along with that young team, is a young offensive coordinator who's quietly putting together a hell of a balanced team that no one wants to talk about. Its the same guy who helped build the Texans Offense into what it is before leaving.
To be fair actually, both teams have a Rookie RB, except one had a single good game against a ****show of an opponent and was announced as a great back here, while the other has led Rookies all year in rushing despite no one talking about him. The former was the one wasted with a 1st round pick too.

1. Every since I've been a Giant fan I have never heard the media or fans talk about how good our secondary is. We have good safeties (when their healthy) but the CB line-up has got to get better. Cut #1 Corey Webster...this man has had his good days and bad days but he is nowhere near good enough to hold his own against our division with players like Dez Bryant, Pierre Garcon...I say cut him, cause no one in their right mind is gonna accept a trade for this guy. Once Terrell Thomas stays healthy and with Anukamara on the other side we should show some progress.
2. Everyone knows you need to build your team around your divisional rivals abilities. With RG3 now becoming a huge threat, we need more speed in our front 4 and a better linebacker core because he gets off the edge entirely too many times. A LB need is imperative. I actually think that should be our 1st pick in the draft. We havent had a threat in our linebacker core since Antonio Pierce.
3. Offensive line. Now Eli doesnt get sacked a lot but how long will that keep up? We need some fresh legs to protect our QB because our line isn't getting any younger.
4. Trade Ahmad Bradshaw for one of the needs listed above. David Wilson I believe has the potential to develop into another Tiki the only thing that worries me about him is his ball handling skills, Andre Brown showed us he also has the potential to be a reliable back. Ahmad foot issues arent going away and in my opinion he's lost a step or 2. He's not as good at finding holes like the other 2 backs and tends to run into walls for no gains.

In the Garnet Mountains of Montana, the lynx is the king of winter. Grizzlies, which rule the wilderness all summer, are asleep. Mountain lions, which sometimes crush lynx skulls out of spite, have followed the deer and elk down into the foothills. But the lynx—with its ultralight frame and tremendous webbed feet—can tread on top of the six-foot snowpack and pursue its singular passion: snowshoe hares, prey that constitutes 96 percent of its winter diet.
From This Story
Related Content
Which is why a frozen white bunny is lashed to the back of one of our snowmobiles, alongside a deer leg sporting a dainty black hoof. The bright yellow Bombardier Ski-Doos look shocking against the hushed backdrop of snow, shadows and evergreens. Lynx (Lynx canadensis) live on the slopes of these mountains, a part of the Rockies, and the machines are our ticket up. We slide and grind on a winding trail through a forest shaggy with lichen; a bald eagle wheels above, and the piney air is so pure and cold it hurts my nose. "Lean into the mountain," advises John Squires, the leader of the U.S. Forest Service's lynx study at the Rocky Mountain Research Station in Missoula. I gladly oblige, as this means leaning away from the sheer cliff on our other side.
The chances that we'll trap and collar a lynx today are slim. The ghost cats are incredibly scarce in the continental United States, the southern extent of their range. Luckily for Squires and his field technicians, the cats are also helplessly curious. The study's secret weapon is a trick borrowed from old-time trappers, who hung mirrors from tree branches to attract lynx. The scientists use shiny blank CDs instead, dabbed with beaver scent and suspended with fishing line near chicken-wire traps. The discs are like lynx disco balls, glittering and irresistible, drawing the cats in for a closer look. Scientists also hang grouse wings, which the lynx swat with their mammoth paws, shredding them like flimsy pet store toys.
If a lynx is enticed into a trap, the door falls and the animal is left to gnaw the bunny bait, chew the snow packed in the corners and contemplate its folly until the scientists arrive. The lynx is then injected with a sedative from a needle attached to a pole, wrapped in a sleeping bag with plenty of Hot Hands (packets of chemicals that heat up when exposed to the air), pricked for a blood sample that will yield DNA, weighed and measured and, most important, collared with a GPS device and VHF radio transmitter that will record its location every half-hour. "We let the lynx tell us where they go," Squires says. They've trapped 140 animals over the years—84 males and 56 females, which are shrewder and harder to capture yet more essential to the project, because they lead the scientists to springtime dens.
As we career up Elevation Mountain, Squires nods at signs in the snow: grouse tracks, footprints of hares. He stops when he comes to a long cat track.
"Mountain lion," he says after a moment. It's only the second time he's seen the lynx's great enemy this high up in late winter. But the weather has been warm and the snow is only half its usual depth, allowing the lions to infiltrate. "That's a bad deal for the lynx," he says.
The lynx themselves are nowhere to be found. Trap after trap is empty, the bait nibbled by weasels too light to trip the mechanism. Deer fur from old bait is scattered like gray confetti on the ground.
Finally, in the last trap in the series, something stirs—we can see it from the trail. Megan Kosterman and Scott Eggeman, technicians on the project, trudge off to investigate, and Kosterman flashes a triumphant thumbs up. But then she returns with bad news. "It's just M-120," she says, disgusted. M-120—beefy, audacious and apparently smart enough to spot a free lunch—is perhaps the world's least elusive lynx: the scientists catch him several times a year.
Because this glutton was probably the only lynx I'd ever get to see, however, I waded into the woods.
The creature hunched in a far corner of the cage was more yeti than cat, with a thick beard and ears tufted into savage points. His gray face, frosted with white fur, was the very countenance of winter. He paced on gangly legs, making throaty noises like a goat's nickering, broth-yellow eyes full of loathing.

Excerpt: "IF, IN FACT, arrogance diminishes wisdom, then the Eagles are squandering their richest resource.
Say what you will, but Andy Reid, Marty Mornhinweg and Juan Castillo are among the better coaches in the NFL in the past decade, perhaps longer. At one point or another, peers and experts hailed each as among the game's best at something: preparation, organization and hiring, in Reid's case; educating quarterbacks and implementing the West Coast offense, for Mornhinweg; and, for Castillo, the capacity to learn any of football's mysteries.
Put the development of Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb and the revival of Michael Vick's career at the feet of Reid and Mornhinweg. Credit Castillo with turning himself into the league's most innovative offensive line coach.
If only they would allow themselves the chance to let the game unfold before them. If only they would fire the weapons they have instead of trying to make those weapons more clever, more potent; instead of trying to make them devastating.
If only . . .
The 3-3 Eagles might be the 5-1 Eagles." Read more...

" Brand: ELC / Age: 2 Years+ "
I may have mentioned in a number of my reviews, that my twin boys get a "little something" very regularly from relatives in particular from my parents. A large number of these toys come from ELC and those that are included in the "money off" section seem to be a popular choice. One of the toys which is in our toy box which comes under the "little something" category is the ELC Fly and Go Jumbo.
***ELC Fly and Go Jumbo***
The ELC Fly and Go Jumbo consists of a white smooth plastic plane which is about 30cm long and 20cm wide (from wing to wing). It comes with three figures to place inside of the plane. The underside and inside of the plane is made from blue plastic making it a bright and attractive toy for toddlers. At the front of the plane there is an open section with space for the pilot figure to sit in. When the figure is pressed down into the front section this makes a sound (when the toy is turned on). The main section of the plane has a large cut out section with space for the two remaining passenger figures, with space for both figures to securely fit inside of the plane. The two passenger figures are wearing brightly coloured clothing and have a very distinctive "holidaymaker" look to them. On each side of the plane are two circular windows. There is also a pull down section to store the two small moulded suitcases which come with the figures. On the bottom of the plane are four wheels which allow the plane to be pushed along. On the wings there are two red engines which when the plane is pushed along flash.
The plane has a red on off button on the bottom of the plane. This is similar to the on off function for many ELC toys where there is the off position and two on positions, one with the option of full volume and the other with half volume.
The Fly and Go Jumbo is available from ELC and Mothercare stores and it is also available online at www.elc.co.uk and www.mothercare.co.uk. The RRP for the toy is £16.00 which is averagely priced if you compare it to other vehicle toys from ELC. The toy often has a money off offer on it. My mum purchased this for my boys for £12.00 which I think makes this quite an attractive value for money toy.
***Playing with it***
Like many other ELC toys the Fly and Go Jumbo has excessive packaging and as a parent is a challenge in itself to remove from the packaging due to the number of ties holding the figures and pieces in the packaging. It is advisable to remove from packaging away from your children as it takes around 10 minutes to remove.
The plane is great for young toddler to play with. It is large enough to easily play with and put the figures in and out of the plane for uncoordinated hands but it is also not too large and heavy so toddlers can still pick it up and swoop it around and push along the floor. The plane moves easily on carpet and laminate flooring when pushed along. The figures are also very bright and attractive and my boys love to hold these and place them in and out of the plane. As a toy for imaginative play this is a great toy. When my boys first starting playing with this toy at 12 months old they simply just liked to explore the various parts and functions of the plane. At 17months they are starting to push the plane along and chatter. When my friend's older toddlers come to play and pick this toy up they really seem to take pleasure in pretending they are flying a plane and taking the passengers on holiday.
The toy has the usual on/off switch that most ELC toys have. There is the middle off button and two on settings; one on half volume and another on full volume. Personally I always set the button to half volume because as a parent the sound is loud enough for your child to hear it but not so loud that it makes excessive noise. On full volume the sounds made by the Fly and Go Jumbo get very annoying!
The plane has two main noises. When you press down a figure in the front section of the plane (or just press the button where the figure slots into) it makes the sound in a clear English accent of "this is your captain speaking, please fasten your seatbelts for take-off" which is very realistic. The second noise is the main issue for me. If you tilt the plane back it makes a take-off engine noise. This is fine if your child only tilts the plane back for a short time. However what often happens is my boys knock the plane over then crawl off to play with something else. This leaves the plane in "take off" mode meaning the engine noise is constantly sounding and does not go back until it is placed flat on the floor.
Aside from the noises and "take off" function" the plane in my opinion has two disadvantages. The first being that the hatch at the back of the plane where the suitcases go is difficult to open for young a toddler which causes some frustration for my boys. You need to put your finger under a small ridge in order to pull the hatch open. This takes some skill for an adult so for a child under 2 almost impossible. This in our case has resulted in the two suitcases that come with the toy being lost in our vast collection of toys. This does not have an impact on the function of the toy but a minor annoyance as I like to keep the parts of various toys together.
The plane and figures are extremely durable. My boys play rough and the figures have been constantly chewed for the last 5 months and there are no teeth marks on the figures. The plane has been dropped from the sofa onto wooden flooring and no damage was suffered, and the plane is still intact and fully functional noise wise. The plane is very easy to keep clean and you can wipe it over with a damp cloth. Because of the sections within the inside of the plane dirt can get trapped inside of the plane.
The plane takes 2 AA batteries which come supplied with the plane. After 5 months we have not yet had to replace these batteries even though it is played with daily. I think this is impressive as a number of our ELC toys require the batteries changing after around 3 months.
I would not say this is the best ELC toy in our vast collection, however I would say the Fly and Go Jumbo is one of the better examples. It is well made and designed for younger and older toddlers to play with. It is large enough to make it easy for small hands to put the figures it comes with, in and out of the plane seats but not too large that a young toddler could not pick up. The sounds and features of the toy makes it a great vehicle for imaginative play and my boys at 17 months old love to place the figures in and out of the plane. Although the passenger figures no longer have plastic suitcases. Because the suitcases these two figures come with are so small they are very easy to lose, but not so small that they present a choking hazard to young children.
For parents (and other adults) the on/off switch is a saviour when it comes to this toy as it does get VERY annoying when the take-off sound gets stuck on. As much as my boys love playing with this toy, the whirring sound of the jumbo "taking off" does get pretty annoying and is probably the main disadvantage of the toy!
My son has this plane and enjoys playing with it and pretending he is the pilot and taking everyone on holiday. The pilot which it comes with sits in the front of the plane to fly it and the two passengers sit in the back where there is plenty space for both of them. Once turned on using a switch at the bottom of the plane it makes take off, landing and braking noises and also says 'prepare for take off'. There are lights are either side of the plane on the engines which flash. The passengers luggage can be put in the luggage hold which is at the rear of the plane and can be opened and both bags can be put in. The only down side is that the luggage hold door can come off very easily but fortunately it can be clipped back on with no problem. There is wheels at the bottom of the plane which makes it easy for children to move around and play with on the floor or a table without scratching any surfaces.
~The toy~
The Jumbo aeroplane consists of a plastic aeroplane about 20com long. Consisting of a Cabin with toy pilot and seating with 2 passengers (one male, one female). There is a luggage area at the back and 2 toy suitcases.
The aeroplane has 2 sets of moveable wheels so the toy can be pushed along the ground. It also makes noises (which can be turned off) which alter with the angle of the aircraft. It makes both engine noise (and engines flash red lights) and the captain says 'get ready for liftoff'.
The door of the luggage area comes off REALLY easily and is too fiddly for a little child to put back on. It is also quite small and easily lost.
The toy is too heavy and cumbersome for a small child to 'nee nah' it in the air themselves. So interest in the toy soon wans.
Also the sounds are repititive and my child gets frustrated when it wont make the right sound, as it cant respond quickly enough.
The Captain can not be removed like the other people, which can cause frustration. My little boy cant understand why he cant get him out.
The suitcases with the people do not fit into the little characters hands, which I think is a shame, as role playe with the people putting their cases on the aeroplane etc. is limited.
The suitcases ONLY just fit into the cabin, so little children cant do this themselves.
This toy tends not to be used by our little boy of 2 and a half as its not that interactive and he tends to lose interest.
May be more suitable for older children
We bought this for our son on his first birthday in January from the ELC along with a few other toys to take advantage of the ELC birthday club 20% discount. He has loved this toy since he first got it and has played with it more and more over the year
Who is it for- the ELC centre website and the toy packaging said 1-3 years though I do note that here on dooyoo the blurb says 2 years why this is the case I am unsure.
What is it- its a plane with a cockpit for the pilot to sit in and when the pilot is pressed down into his seat he tells the passenger to prepare for take off. The main body of the plane is open with two seating holes for the two passengers to sit on. The passengers are bright and cheerful people even if they do look a little like american tourists. The plane its self has three sets of wheels like normal planes and two engines. When tilted the plane makes take off sounds and the engines lights go red. There is a luggage hold for the two suitcases that also come with the plane to be placed in.
The plane has and on and off switch so you can turn it off. The engines sounds continue until the plane is upright which can be annoying.
Where from- have only seen this in the ELC website and shop bar second hand ones on Ebay at £15 I do think it is good value as it sometimes my son enjoys playing with and I can see that the toy will gradually develop with him in to pretend play with people going on holiday
I think this is a great toy for little ones bar two things. For our little one we have taken the suitcase out of action at the moment as I think they are a bit of a choke hazard as he could easily chew the handle of them. Maybe this is the reason on this website the age group goes from 2 rather than one on the ELC website. The other problem is the at times the hold door comes off however it is easy to reattach. I think it would be great for children to play with prior to their first holiday on a plane to help them understand a little bit about flying
My 2 year old is absolutely fascinated by anything that moves; planes, trains, diggers, cars, lorries and tractors etc all make her scream with glee, jump up and down and demand a running commentary on their manoeuvres (arghh). So last Christmas a fair proportion of her presents reflected this interest and her haul included this plane from the Early Learning Centre.
As I have said on previous reviews on ELC products, there cant be many people who are unaware of this company. I have fond memories of visiting ELC stores when I was a child (I only ever wanted to play in the Cosy Coupe) and when we return to the UK the ELC is usually our first port of call. Their toys have a reputation for sturdyness, for appealing to children and for containing some creative or educational element. Their wooden toy section in particular has been the source of some of my daughters best loved toys, and she plays everyday with her ELC plastic fruit and veg.
ELC say this toy will help your child to enjoy their imagination and will help your child use their hands effectively and develop good reflexes. The one thing they dont say is that this toy may well drive a parent crazy if misused!
The plane arrived in a large white box with part of the front cut away so you can see and touch the plane. It is wired firmly into the box, as are all the little people so if you are buying this as a present either do the unwrapping first or be ready with the pliers. It took me ten minutes to release all of the ties and I was rather red in the face and close to swearing by the time I had finished. This is not a place for a discussion on toy packaging but really this was excessive, unnecessary and just plain wasteful.
25 cms from nose to tail.
21 cms from wing tip to wing tip
17 cms from floor to highest point.
These measurements are approximate as my measuring was being assisted by my toddler
***The Plane***
This is a chunky white plane, made of strong shiny plastic. There is a cut out section on the top allowing access to the blue plastic inner section, which has two moulded seats for the figures. This section also has two round windows at either side. At the front is an open section with a blue plastic hole for the pilot to be slotted into; the blue plastic depresses when pushed as it is a button to make the noises. Under each wing is a red engine, the centre of which lights up when the noise is activated. At the back is a small flip down section for placing the two suitcases. The red On/Off switch is located on the bottom of the plane, as is the battery panel which is held in place with a screw. I believe the plane came with batteries installed so it could be tried out in the shop, so that is one less thing to think about, although if you have young children you will probably have new batteries on hand anyway. The plane is designed so that if you press gently on the tail of the plane it rests easily in the take off position on the floor, and a smart push on the tail end when the plane is in the normal position sends it a satisfyingly long way on our tiled floors.
***The All-Important NOISES***
When the pilot is pushed down a very efficient voice will boom out This is your captain speaking, please fasten your seat belts and prepare for take off. As the plane is moved and lifted into the air it produces an engine noise that changes as you taxi the plane, take off and then swerve and bank around the room. The engine lights flash at the same time. Its quite an effective noise and does sound quite like a plane and it does encourage the child to run around swooping and diving with the plane. However, my problem is with the captain voice, more specifically with the fact that there appears to be no limit to the amount of times the button can be pressed. If I was designing a toy like this I would only make it possible for this noise to be produced after a certain amount of time or after a certain amount of movement. Fair enough if you press the button again while the captain is speaking it doesnt cut in and start again, but there is no explaining just how psychologically damaging hearing that same phrase over and over again can be. Maybe I am just a miserable humourless cow, but it sets my teeth on edge!
If you press the plane just a little and leave it sitting before take off it makes a repetitive engine turning over sound, which also tends to grate and leads to me to give the plane a swift kick until it stops or makes the take off sound. At certain times the plane has even been hidden to save my sanity.
As well as the pilot, you get two gaudily dressed tourist figures and two little plastic suitcases to go in the luggage area at the back. The figures are firm moulded plastic with the requisite hole in the bottom to allow them to stand in the moulded plastic holes. They are about 8cms high and are reminiscent of the Little People range of toys. We also have the Mighty Digger from the same range and the construction workers from that set get to have lovely holidays on the plane as they also fit in the seats.
Its £15, which surprised me when I found out as I would have put it at £20 + , having seen similar toys available at higher prices which do less.
Catalogue number: 113857
***Age Range***
1-3 years old
***My Impressions***
As you may have guessed this plane is the bane of my life when the switch is placed in the on position, but in the off position it is one which makes my life much quieter and more pleasant. My daughter will happily play with it, even without the noises, for 30 minutes or more without any input from me and loves to pretend to make it take off and fly in ways that make you pity the passengers. I mocked up a landing strip out of a piece of card and Olivia made a few buildings out of duplo to make an airport, so it can be the centrepiece of a more imaginative scenario. The little boy I look after is happy to spend twenty minutes or more running around at top speed with the plane, burning off lots of energy and is the one toy he always asks for when he arrives, so its definitely popular here!
I believe we got another figure with it, a smaller figure in a tie and blue hat who resembles a flight attendant. He doesnt have the same hole at the bottom as the others but I am 99% sure he came as part of the pack to stand on the ground by the plane. Having looked at the ELC website this extra figure is not mentioned, so it could be that he has been discontinued, but he is a source of infinite frustration to my daughter who is forever trying to jam him into the holes!
I would certainly recommend this toy as a good item to stimulate imaginative play in young children. It is strong and chunky, with no fiddly little bits to lose or struggle with and the noises can be turned off thank goodness. The luggage bay door has come off several times and seems to be the weak point on the plane, but it also easily clicks back into place without too much of an effort. Fully loaded it is weighty, but not so heavy that my 2 year old struggles to lift it and swoop it around, less than a kilo I would say. If toys with noises bother you the on/off switch is great (although my daughter has worked out how to turn it on), but the option of taking the batteries out completely is also there. The price is excellent for a toy of this type and it is a good quality item that, apart from the noises, was a very welcome and appreciated present.

After Hours: XLNX Up 9%; TQNT Down 14% on Foxconn Shortfall
More of what's going on in tech earnings this evening:
Programmable chip maker Xilinx (XLNX) this afternoon reported fiscal Q4 results that easily beat consensus, reporting $559 million, up 9%, year over year, and 49 cents a share versus the average estimate of $531.6 million and 51 cents.
For Q1, the company sees revenue rising 1% to 5% from Q4's level, which would equate to $565 million to $587 million, easily beating the average $556 million estimate. CEO Moshe Gavrielov said Xilinx continues to enjoy "design win momentum" for its 40-nanometer and 28-nanometer chip designs.
The shares rose $2.70, or almost 8%, at $37.03 in late trading.
The Xilinx report is in contrast to weaker-than-expected results last thursday from competitor Altera (ALTR), which missed Q1 revenue and EPS estimates, and offered a weaker-than-expected forecast, sending its shares sliding.
Shares of wireless chip vendor TriQuint Semiconductor (TQNT) are down 75 cents, or almost 14%, at $4.77, after the company this afternoon reported Q1 results that were more or less in line but forecast this quarter's results well below consensus and said it expects to return to a normal revenue level later this year.
Revenue in the three months ended in March fell 3%, year over year, and fell 5% from Q4's level, to $216.7 million, yielding EPS of 2 cents a share. Analysts had been modeling $214.5 million and 2 cents a share.
CEO Ralph Quinsey remarked that while the company saw improvement in the networking infrastructure equipment market it serves, with its revenue rising 10% in that segment from Q4's level. However, "We anticipate a challenging second quarter in the mobile devices market, specifically with our largest customer."
This quarter, The company sees revenue of $170 million to $185 million, and a net loss per share of 10 cents to 15 cents compared to the consensus for $223.5 million and 5 cents a share.
That single large customer, as Quinsey pointed out on a conferencecall following the report, is Chinese contract manufacturer Foxconn, which made up 37% of revenue in the quarter :
The Q2 revenue reduction is largely driven by lower demand from our largest customer, Foxconn. The lower revenue will reduce utilization and our factories causing lower gross margin. I believe the Q2 demand is temporary and I expect to return to more normal revenue levels in Q3.
The smartphone market for the company's chips remains remains healthy, management said, despite the shortfall at Foxconn:
Our cellular revenue growth independent of our largest customer did quite well in Q1 where typically Q1 is seasonally down, 10 to 15%, cellular revenue was up 8% sequentially. Just to be clear, our combined 2 G, 3G, and 40 revenue from customers excluding Foxconn was up nicely in what is normally a down quarter.
The report and the stock reaction stands in contrast to that of competitor RF Micro Devices (RFMD) last night, which beat fiscal Q4 estimates and saw its stock rise almost 9% Wednesday.

Maree, I'm hoping to make these fritters soon. There's no way you'd be deep frying is there? So I'm guessing non-stick pan or baked in the oven?
I love chickpeas

Grub, you know me too well .
No deep frying here . I used a non-stick fry pan which I brushed with canola oil. The sprays wreck non-stick surfaces.
Love all pulses. Have dried and tinned but tinned seem to be the first thing I reach for. Am lazy, busy (who isn't?) And sometimes I don't know the night before what I'll be doing the next night let alone what I'll be feeling like eating, so there goes the overnight soak.
Anyway, tonight I'm doing salt and pepper squid with a Thai-style salad.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Recipe!
Shannyn crosses her heart-it's DELISH! Try it with the kiddo's and see if it doesn't pass! (from OhSheGlows.com)
- 240 grams yellow-skinned cooked potatoes, peeled (approx. 1 & 1/3 cups cooked potato)
- 6-7 tbsp pure maple syrup*, or to taste
- 3 tbsp cashew nut butter*
- 1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt, or to taste
- 1/4-1/3 cups dark chocolate chips
1. Peel and roughly chop the potatoes. Cook the potatoes in a pot of water on the stove-top until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
2. In a food processor, immediately add the cooked potatoes (still hot), nut butter, vanilla, and maple syrup. Do not use cold potatoes or the texture will be like mashed potatoes instead of a silky dip. Process until smooth for at least a couple minutes, stopping to scrape down the bowl as necessary. Make sure no clumps remain. You want it super smooth. Adjust sweetness if necessary and add salt to taste.
3. Place mixture in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes (preferably an hour) to chill and then stir in the chocolate chips just before serving. Serve the dip with graham crackers, fresh fruit, cookies, cinnamon sugar pita chips, or my favourite way, a spoon.
Just for today, your dare is to say nothing negative at all. If you can't think of a kind way to say what's on your mind, vow-just for today-to say nothing.
Look for opportunities to bring warmth to the coldness in his or her life. If possible, give them an unexpected, tender touch. Choose a gesture that says, "I cherish you." and do it with sincerity.

Very clean & good location. Only problem was setting timer on oven as power had been off. (Push first two buttons and last together)
Would consider staying here again.
We spent a nice time in your apartment. It was really pleasant.
You have a nice town and life, as usual .
Best regards, Olivier
Everything was great. Nice Appartement and a great and helpful landlord. Tranks very much.
A good sized apartment in a fantastic location, right on Hyde Park This was an ideal location for getting around the city's many tourist sites; it was also well placed for Central Station trains. The apartment was comfortable and was equipped with everything we needed for our stay.
The apartment is very good situated nearby central station. We could easyly get to all places we wanted to visit. Everything we needed was there. But it was not very comfortable to get the key at a different place far away, where the lady couldn´t tell us the way to the apartment. It is only possible by going by taxi. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay very much.
The apartment was very clean and extremely comfortable although could do with being updated. The apartment had excellent views of Sydney. There was no information in the apartment about local amenities, such as how to get to the opera house, nearest supermarket, train station etc, The administration company for the apartment on our arrival were very poor,we rang ahead when we arrived at the Airport as requested by the office several days prior, no body answered so we had to leave a message on the answer phone, unaware if they had received this or not, we took a taxi to the apartment via the office, on arrival the office was locked up, no staff around, I had a taxi waiting on yellow lines! after about 5 minutes a member of staff appeared, extremely flustered as he had been in the pub and hadnt seen our taxi pull up! The key hand over was very rushed to the extent they omitted to tell us the number on the keyring with the room key was not the number of the apartment! Once we discovered this at the apartment, I asked the reception for assistance and was met by a very rude woman who basically told us she was busy, go away and I will speak to you when I am free, she did have enough time to point me to a road that had a pay phone! I then tried the emergency number I had for the office several times, without success nobody answered it. The said receptionist thought better of her actions and decided she would assist us. Thank god we had arrived on a domestic flight to Sydney not after our 20hour flight from the UK! Be warned if you stay here over a weekend, the pub next door is very noisy and the apartment has an extremely noisy neighbour who likes to party until 4am! Please allow about 60 dollars for a taxi from the airport, they dont like waiting around and will charge you! We did enjoy our stay in Sydney just a shame we were so tired due to the neighbour!
Great location, would stay again
Carpet needs to be deodorized as smells when windows are closed but soon disappears after opening windows . New pillows would be welcome
Excellent location - this is where you want to be for your short stay in Sydney. The apartment had everything you needed for a self catering stay. The apartment block was quiet, clean and comfortable.
We had a really good stay in the Boundless Den. Any problems (light bulbs, door handle) sorted out straight away.
A bit noisy from next door being renovated, lots of banging and drilling, but as we were out most of the day it was ok.
All in all a stress free stay. Thank you.
The accommodation comes highly recommended close enough to the city and accessible by the light railway. Fully equipped providing a home from home.

Roll of Honour soundscape
On 4 August 2014, the Australian War Memorial launched the Roll of Honour Soundscape project, one of the many projects commemorating the centenary of the First World War.
Soundscape enhances the iconic Roll of Honour in the Memorial's Commemorative Area, while remaining a respectful and solemn experience for visitors.
The project initially began with groups of primary school students from across Australia recording the names and ages of some of the 62,000 Australians who died in service during the First World War.
ABC Local played a key role in collecting these initial 6,500 recordings through a countrywide call for schools to participate in the project.
The recordings are currently playing in the Memorial's First World War cloisters. It is the Memorial's goal to collect recordings of all 62,000 names that appear on the First World War Roll of Honour.
The Memorial and Google Australia have now developed an online recording application, Remember me, which will allow all primary schools to participate in the project from their classrooms.
If you would like stay up to date or participate in this project, please fill in our Centenary projects webform.
Remember Me tutorial video
Dr Brendan Nelson, Director of the Australian War Memorial, and Abbey-Jane Bergan, School Captain at Mount Pritchard Public School introduce the Remember Me app.

I've been beekeeping for seven years. My main market for my honey is at an entertainment center gift shop (uniformed customers) and at three local food co-ops (semi-informed customers).
I've been rather isolated in my beekeeping, just doing what I do and buying more equipment... not attending beekeeping meetings or reading apiculture magazines. Here is a funny story about my never having heard of raw honey. Raw honey, sounds gross, like raw meat.
Four years ago, we did a taste testing at a local co-op. Our stand was positioned just across from the honey section. We had brought a frame of bees in my traveling observation hive. Many were drawn in and it was fun to interact with the end-user. However, those introverted honey buyers who did not come over looked over the stores honey selection and avoided our local honey and purchased either stuff labeled raw or organic honey from Brazil.
One customer said he would never buy our honey. It was liquid honey. It wasn't raw. I just harvested it two weeks ago!!!
Several more customers asked if our honey was raw. I didn't even know what raw honey was!
So when I got home I did some internet research. I don't cook my honey. I don't filter my honey to remove pollen grains or tiny of wax. I do strain out the drowned bees and chunks of wax. I bottle my Jan-May honey orders come in, so I decrystallize my honey at 100 to 110 degrees (within the biological norm of a hive), never more than 18 hours. I use a heated knife to uncap my honey. So am I raw? ...
I'd love to just bottle most of my honey right away and market it as raw and not worry about crystallized honey (My honey crystallizes with chunky crystals).
Not sure what I'm asking or telling... but my main problem with "raw" honey is that there is no set definition as to what raw honey is. That is there is no USDA (or other agency) definition for me to follow that make me comfortable marketing my honey as raw.
On our jars, we currently state, "we never heat nor filter our honey to remove its natural properties."

SUNY BEST presents program on using interns and volunteers to help develop community, economy
BINGHAMTON, NY -- The SUNY Business and Education Cooperative of the Southern Tier (SUNY BEST) will host a presentation titled, "Community and Economic Development through Interns, Volunteers and Service Learning," at 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, in room 1324C of the Library North building on the Binghamton University campus. This presentation is free and open to the public.
Allison Alden, director of Binghamton University's Center for Civic Engagement, will discuss the kind of community service opportunities that have emerged in the aftermath of the catastrophic September flood. The presentation will include an overview of linkages made between the University and the community and how the synergy has and will continue to foster development. Alden is a professor in Binghamton University's Department of Public Administration, and the former director of the Center for Applied Community Research and Development, and director of the Center City Coordination Program. She is currently co-instructing a fall term course, "Community in Recovery: Southern Tier N.Y. after the flood of September 2011."
Laura O'Neill, academic internship coordinator for Binghamton University's Career Development Center's Internship Program (CDCI), will discuss the internship process from the agency/business perspective. She will discuss how to develop internship descriptions that will develop into the kind of alliances that not only strengthen the workforce but also support businesses. In overseeing the CDCI, O'Neill heads up the University's partnership efforts with local regional, national and international groups that result in students having the opportunity to earn academic credit through applied learning. Students gain valuable personal professional skills, which build resumes, help with job searches, and identify college majors.
SUNY BEST is a volunteer group comprised of senior staff members from key economic and educational institutions in the Southern Tier. The group works to forge strong alliances, strengthen industry specific needs and provide information and outreach for business. SUNY BEST also seeks to explore and support the business community workforce needs for traditional and emerging industry clusters such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, energy, photonics, energy conservation and renewal.
Pre-registration for this discussion is required through the SUNY BEST website at http://ceo.binghamton.edu/bande/. For driving directions, contact Debbie Hulbert at firstname.lastname@example.com. Participants attending the meeting will be required to pay a parking fee.

I didn't know deers enjoyed chicken legs.
-cool shirt though-
Hooray, it's an Edgar!
YES YES YES!!! A MILLION TIMES YES!!!! I knew this was going to print somewhere!!! Congrats Edgar!
I think that snake is going in for the commando kill.
Antlers are made of bone, not wood. He should really check his facts first.
Looks like the other forest animals are a teeny bit jealous...
Holy sonofabeach! I was looking for this one!!! Awesome!!!
Looks like it's in the same style as Marcel Dzama illustrations. Very whimsical.
Edgar on yellow? Hmmm....
another shirt condoning violence to squirrels?! woot, i'm shocked.
Edgar, I love your art (Art).
This is my heart because of this Edgar printing:
*faints dead away from overexcitement and overly-tight corset laces*
Okay, revival enough to buy two, overnighted. If it printed well (as it should, as Air was PERFECT), then more to come to meeeeeeee.
*happy unconscious-from-overabundance-of-joy dance*
This will go perfectly with my t-shirt of the all-day-lollipop-guy giving the narwal his horn.
Nails, glue, or duct tape? Or is tree sap a good adhesive?
That poor deer only wanted to play paddle ball and teach the other anthropomorphic woodland creatures its simple fun...but the squirrel had to go and ruin the game for everyone!
Sometimes edgar's style is a little unapproachable for me personally (even if I appreciate his craft), but this design is very accessible!
I will have to sleep on it being a yellow shirt, but I am very tempted.
wootchawant wrote:another shirt condoning violence to squirrels?! woot, i'm shocked.
Where is the violence?
Chicken leg LOL
Such a cute shirt! :D
I had a feeling this was printing here.
Congrats, Edgar. Good luck with the sales!
Edgar? Wheee! No doubt buying! And congrats!
It's like the tree is working on the deer's weave.
I can totally see myself lifting weights in this shirt.
How is the deer holding the mirror? It lacks fingers...or hands at all! Hooves can't hold things!
All is right in the world. I will go to bed a happy person, with visions of Edgar's whimsical drawings dancing in my head.
eHalcyon wrote:Where is the violence?
i'm just anticipating our fellow wooters who enjoy pretending things are in images that really aren't--for example, that mirror looks sorta like a paddle the deer could use on the unsuspecting nut-eaters.
and look at that: someone already made my point for me. <=)
So trees actually die from giving away all their branches, instead of humans.
rflcptr wrote:Antlers are made of bone, not wood. He should really check his facts first.
I think the real question here is: how is he holding on to the mirror? Deer don't have opposable thumbs!
colinm09 wrote:How is the deer holding the mirror? It lacks fingers...or hands at all! Hooves can't hold things!
He slipped it between the slot in the hooves... or perhaps, he put a specific notch in the underside of the hoof to hold it in place.

What she said. I love it!
you're right! i wonder if that means this is a doe trying to impersonate a buck or a buck that needs some...er...enhancements...
Bartender, I'll have what Edgar is having.
u shouldve saws my face.
i was like, whats this weird yellow shirt today...
then i saw tree face.
then my face went :O
then i saw edgars name.
it was over
Congrats on the print, Edgar.
However, I'm still personally holding out hope for "My Pet Deer" to print somewhere, someday.
I'm seeing "How The Doe Gets Her Antlers" here, and I just can't un-see it.
Wonder what the bird thinks of this peculiar kind of "gentrification?" Love you Edgar!!!
MHBoston wrote:It's like the tree is working on the deer's weave.
a weave!
the momma bird is like.. hey come back w/ my babies!!!
who is this edgar and why is he so popular here?

Edgar is an artist and shirt designer and he's popular around here because he's damn good.
Congrats on the print, Edgar! Very, very well deserved.

I know alot of people have questions about the jerseys. i bought mine as soon as they became available on the nflshop.com, i got my old high school number and my name, after retiring my Jacobs authentic jersey cause of his departure to san fran i decided i would rather have a jersey i would never have to retire; as i know that fan would never leave this team.
If you want the Limited jersey you can get them here. http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=sh...80/pgid-516776
"srry guys no JPP yet, but they do have cruz and they are out of stock of the away jerseys; only the home jerseys."
so i'll go over the new jerseys vs the reebok jerseys so that you have a detailed view before you buy your jersey.
1. My jacobs reebok is a size 48/ my Nike custom is a size 44 this was a good match. same length in the sleeves and the body, the Nike shirt itself is tailored so it fits to the shape of the body on the sides. i'm medium athletic build so if your a bigger heavy set person i would suggest you go 4 sizes up from your reebok size if you want a more snug look go 4 sizes down.
Limited jerseys won't be available on NFLshop.com / Giants shop until late August/ early September.
The shirts material is indeed water proof, light rain it slides off heavy rain leaves water spots but dries off quickly.
the NFL insignia is a gloss plastic material
the stretch zone area's are a more rigid un-soft material than the non stretch zone area's this is what creates the tailored fit.

im probably going to buy limited jerseys from now on, got my elite don't need two. what is the height/weight approx of your friend. cause i was thinking i might get a medium as well for me and my girl but if your saying the lettered sizes are bigger then i would want to know how big in comparison to me. i had to go down 4 sizes for the numbered size and that fit well.
Just looking for more opinions and testimonies from people that have had the reebok jerseys and experience with the new nike jerseys. Go the next size down?
I'm 5'9, 190. So the Reeboks in Large is usually what I would go for. Wondering if anyone has tried the Nike Medium (as a substitute for Reebok's Large) and it's still too big/baggy?
im 5'7 169 now. in the elite jerseys 44 is the way to go honestly for us, im contemplating getting a medium in the Limited jersey the chest is a 371/2-41 my chest is 40R waist is 32-35 i have a 32 inch waist so this is the best option the small is not too far off from the medium might fit more snug with less room for wearing a hoodie under as we all love to do when going to games in Oct-dec
small - 351/2-37chest
29-32 waist

What you guys think?
I think they're actually taking a risk by playing it so safe. The new one actually looks older, I don't think I'd ever spot one unless I looked for it.
____________________________________________________________The only thing that beats a 385 hp 5.0? A 412 hp one.
Which of these is the new one again?
_________________1993 Chevy C1500 Silverado 5.7L V81989 Ford F-150 XL 5.0L V82000 Chevy Impala LS 3.8L V62001 Chevy Suburban LS 5.3L V82012 Silverado LT 1500 5.3L V8
Revolting I guess, the old one had a unique grill that worked well on the RDX. The new grill just looks like a beak stuck on the front.
The front overhang on the new one looks smaller, so that is better. The rest? Meh.
____________________________Edgy, Controversial, Dangerous...
It need numbers to decide if I like it but from a looks perspective it's good. Hopefully it's more efficient than the last generation.
The original RDX was the best. The refresh with the beak is AWFUL
____________________Because it totally worked when Lincoln did it.
Let's just say that the new RDX's grill looks giggidy, giggidy... Focus on his mouth area, and then compare it to the RDX's grill.
Still infinitely better than any Lincoln on the market.
Tonavi:It need numbers to decide if I like it but from a looks perspective it's good. Hopefully it's more efficient than the last generation.273hp from 3.5 V6 and 28mpg hwy in FWD trim.
Why was the K23 such a guzzler?
refreshing, i guess
Boring but inoffensive.
__________________________________________________________• Yea, I'm gonna drive a domestic. Why don't I just flush my money down a toilet??? •
I'd have to say that I like it. It is much better than the new ILX that they showed. I think that they screwed up with that one witch disappoints because I really want a good RSX based vehicle from them.

Amazing quilting on a beautiful quilt.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Amazing quilting on a beautiful quilt.
This is a work of ART. Beautiful, the quilting is beyond awesome. BrendaK
Be kind to yourself, by being kind to others. When you help others you help yourself.
It's a gorgeous quilt and I love the colors and pattern. Sue
Perfect capture of the Arizona 'feeling'. I agree, that the back not only looks like a cityscape, but a phoenix sunset to be more specific.
I live just outside Phoenix, and one of my best friends moved from here to Rock Hill, North (South? I get 'em confused!) Carolina about 5 years ago! Must be an upgrade if more people have done it!
Happiness is a new quilt and an old dog.
Your quilt is gorgeous! I love the warm colors! I also lived in Tucson for 20 years.
Once upon a time~
There was enough time~DD
The quilting on your quilt is jaw dropping. A very very very beautiful quilt. You must be so proud of the end product. kelela
Your quilt is beautiful! The quilting is superb, especially the pebbling. Be very proud.
WOW is right, love it.
Love, love, love it. Beautiful quilt, piecing, quilting and all. Thanks for sharing.

For much of the conservative commentariat, the answer was obvious from the outset: anyone seeking to explain the atrocity Hasan perpetrated, they claimed, can start and end with his faith. Here in Boston, for example, WTKK-FM's Michael Graham teased his afternoon radio talk show by saying of Hasan's motive: "Let's face it: you and I both know the answer." At michellemalkin.com, meanwhile, the author herself situated Hasan in a broader category she'd created six years ago — "Muslim soldiers with attitude"— and reiterated her own previous contention that the Muslim members of the US armed forces constitute a menacing fifth column. (In Malkin's incendiary words: "The Islamist infiltration of our troops is scandalous. Not one more American, soldier or civilian, must be sacrificed at the altar of multiculturalism, diversity, open borders, and tolerance of the murderous 'attitude' of Jihad.")
And then there was Shepard Smith, every liberal's default choice as favorite Fox News personality, who followed a similar line of thinking when he described Hasan's name — without actually saying it — during an interview with US Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson of Texas on Thursday:
SMITH Senator Hutchison, other news organizations are identifying the shooter. . . . Have you been given a name, and what do you know about this suspect? How much are you able to tell us?HUTCHINSON I have been given a name, but I would not want to confirm that, because I don't know if this person's family has been identified. . . .SMITH We've been given a name, as well, and quite frankly, I'm not comfortable going with it till it's given to me by the United States military. . . . But the name tells us a lot, does it not, senator?HUTCHINSON It does. It does, Shepard. And that's why it's a very sad situation.
So far, so bad, conservative media. But it wasn't much better on the left.
Despite the abundance of religious details surrounding Hasan's crime (more on that in a bit), many of my fellow liberals seemed determined to keep their analysis secular. Some studiously avoided any reference whatsoever to Hasan's religion. Writing at the Huffington Post, for example, Christine Pelosi (daughter of Nancy) cast the shootings as one more grim reminder that the military needs to take post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) seriously — and did not mention Islam once. (Hasan, a psychiatrist, hadn't yet served in a combat zone, but had counseled returning soldiers; implicit in Pelosi's analysis was the debatable notion that, as he discussed his patients' first-hand traumas, he experienced second-hand trauma of his own, a novel diagnosis — see online sidebar "Collateral Damage").

McCants......OH man, he may be the worst one out of the whole bunch. OMG was he awful in pre-seaon.
krunch-ur opinion of DD and Lockler is dead wrong, esp the "DD is a better T than Lockler ever was or will be and were the same last yr"
For starters, Lockler was an 8 yr starting vet for Seattle iirc, he was their RT that SB season. 2nd, one season he played LT when their staple LT was hurt for the year. 3rd, while the PFF grade between the 2 individually may have not been drastic (altho still in Locklers favor), the line as a unit performed better when Lockler was in in a majority of the aspects. If u go by PFF grade, DD ended up having a better yr than several OT's that he simply did not outperform. IIRC, it was enigma or another respected poster here who raised the credibility issue for that 1 specific aspect and challeneged the validity, but it was a long time ago.
Point is, DD is a great Giant. that said, id take a healthy Lockler over DD at this point any day of the week and twice on sunday
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Clearly we need a long term solution and neither of them are it -- But I'm just pointing out that this idea that Locklear performed at a much better level than Diehl did last year is absolutely false and has no basis in truth.

If the truck in the pictures looks familiar—yes, that's the new one—it's because the styling changes are quite minor. The front end gets squintier headlamps, a rearranged front bumper, LED fog lights, and a surprisingly modest new grille with a trio of louvers without any sort of gauche chrome surround. Other changes are limited to new wheels, a redesigned liftgate, and new tailpipes. That's it.http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2015-ford-expedition-photos-and-info-news
It actually looks really good! It's not much, but the changes were tasteful. It may not outsell the Tahoe/Suburban, but I think it looks a lot better.
It looks perfectly fine. And that's all that's worth saying about it.
_________________________________________________________________________Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand.
Looks better, nothing really surprising as we pretty much knew what it would have based off the Navigator.
Not much changed, but I like it, so that's good. Though if I was really in the market for an Expy, I'd probably buy a 2014 if the discounts were just right. Would buy over the Navigator, especially with the new update to it.
____________________Because it totally worked when Lincoln did it.
wow, pretty lackluster imo.And while the 3.5tt will no doubt be better than that dog of a 5.4, i still think a 5.0 should be standard with the '15+ version of the ecoboost optional.I never thought of the Expedition as ugly, but i did think it had become stale. This surely won't change anything. It's not ugly, just doesn't really stand out. I don't even think the new Tahoe/'Burban look all that great, but you can tell they're new and the design may grow on me. Interior, like the new Navigator, screams pre-fresh f150. This interior even more though because it basically IS the old f150 interior. Disappointing, to me. They could have brought the styling, inside and out, in-line with the new trucks and maybe even utilized the new materials or at least updated engines. I was hoping/expecting for more.
-----------------------------------------------Don't know whyI have to drive so fastMy car has nothing to proveIt's not newBut it'll do 0 to 60 in 5.2
They took half my advice and gave it a Platinum trim level. Problem is, they didn't eliminate the Navigator to accommodate it. Perhaps this is a cynical attempt to foist not one, but two overblinged, obsolete hulks on hoodwinked naïfs, or perhaps Ford's product-placement folks just don't give a stuff anymore. Either way it's a vehicle that has been appallingly neglected by it's maker, so the wise consumer would be well-advised to follow suit.Falalalala
------------------------------------------------------------I come here to be entertained. I go elsewhere to contribute.
TypeSH:Not much changed, but I like it, so that's good. Though if I was really in the market for an Expy, I'd probably buy a 2014 if the discounts were just right. Would buy over the Navigator, especially with the new update to it.I would buy it over the Navigator too, purely because it's ~90% of the SUV for (i'm guessing) thousands less. The only angle that i think really looks better on the Gator is the front too.
-----------------------------------------------Don't know whyI have to drive so fastMy car has nothing to proveIt's not newBut it'll do 0 to 60 in 5.2
If only they could have made it look at least like something more in line with the current Ford design language. Say what you will about the Navi, at least it now has a Lincoln familial face. This Ford still has the razor 3-bar design language that I thought Ford had given up on by 2010.
--------------------------------------------------------Am I the only one who thinks the MKC should have had suicide doors?
Dunno why they thought corps gray would of been a good color to debut the thing with but it looks alright. I don't like the front bumper though, it looks more cuv and less trucky. I really hate SUV's that are based off of a truck but look nothing like it. I do hope the two tome scheme the Eddie bauer and King Ranch versions had continue but it looks like they may go monotone as I cant see how it can flow into that front end. I would still buy it though, every other full size suv is ugly or older than this.
I like this far better than the Lincoln refresh. 9/10s of the overall package with 0/10s the ugliness.
---------------------------------------------------On the internet you can be anything you want. Its strange that so many people choose to be stupid.
I like the Platinum's interior but that's about it with this refreshed Expedition. I would not buy it simply because there is only one engine option and I don't want to deal with the maintenance of the 3.5TT.Also, these things never see anything more difficult than a gravel road, is it has no ground clearance and is way too heavy and top heavy for any sort of off-roading I intend to do with my 03 Dakota.
--------------------------------Something stinks and it ain't me. E-thugs: always looking for a fight, no matter how meaningless.I drank all of RL's rum.
looks good actualy!a little upset they didn't just go all out with a full redesign though.and if only the F150 had that grill/lights XD
--------------------I'm working on a scifi-adventure webcomic!
Maybe you'll disagree with me for saying this but how can many of you claim it looks better when it looks absolutely the same as it has for the past 10 years?? This is lazy Ford. I expected a better effort. Ford is maybe the most improved nameplate in the last 5-7 years. Every single one of their cars except the Taurus, is at least class competitive or class leading. Their pickup truck continues to thwart the efforts of GM and Ram and selling eleventy billion trucks per year. Yet, when it comes to the Expy and the entire Lincoln lineup, they half- a s s the effort and give us microwave pizza when everyone else is serving gourmet chicken marsala. This and the Nissan SUV would be the last trucks I'd consider in this category.
-------------Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.-Mark Twain
O% financing, 1500 cash back plus dealer incentives along with a lower starting price then say a Tahoe will keep it selling with a mild refresh. I like it for the price, but apples to apples when it comes to paying about the same, the Tahoe wins by a wide margin. Problem is, you pay for what you get. The expedition is actually a nice offering for what it is for the price. It's not a hot seller, Ford did just enough to keep it in the lineup. Not a good or bad thing since it simply isn't a product that has been the best offering.I think offering the EB would be the most significant move that will help sell it along with the mild refresh. I like the front.
