Butane hash oil causes explosion: police say more to come
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - An explosion knocks out windows of an apartment and police say blasts like this will happen again in Colorado Springs.
That's because people are trying to make a potent marijuana extract using a highly flammable material.
Colorado Springs Police say that's what caused a blast at Westview apartments at University and Airport.
51-year-old Lee Brown was arrested on suspicion of unlawful possession manufacturing of a controlled substance and reckless endangerment.
"Out of nowhere we heard this big old boom and glass shattered," said a resident at the apartment complex.
It was an explosion that could be just the beginning of many more.
"I don't recall an incident like this prior to marijuana becoming legal. It's literally like manufacturing an explosive," said Lt. Mike Hunt, with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.
We spoke with the narcotics investigator about this dangerous activity that seems to be picking up speed.
He had to hide his identity because he investigates scenes undercover.
"It certainly happen at any time because of the availably of the product, marijuana is now legal so your main indigent or all of the ingredients to do this are readily available," said Hunt.
Not only is it illegal to make it on your property, but it's also incredibly dangerous
"The process of extracting that oil is dangerous, and using the butane because it's highly flammable. Any little spark or flame and we can see what the outcome can be," said Hunt.
To make things worse it's hard to detect, without any smell.
And it can be made just about anywhere.
"It can be done in a very small area, any type of small room or a vehicle, wherever. I'm hoping we don't see more of it obviously, because of the dangers not only to the people who are doing it, but to neighbors and especially if it's an apartment and the surrounding public," said Hunt.

Another popular selection we have are graduation party ideas. Whether your child or family member graduated Kindergarten. Maybe they're receiving their college degree.

Beaver Meadow, Adirondack Park
Beaver meadows form when beavers abandon a site and the former pond drains. They are the primary form of wetland in the Adirondack Park, New York. This beaver meadow is located in the southern Adirondacks. The lack of standing tree snags suggests this is an old beaver site. Recently, beavers have reoccupied the site, and the pond is refilling.

Reviews of this property
We were from 10.04.2015-17.04.2015 in the Loft Casanova. The furnishings corresponded to the pictures from the offer. Both check-in and check-out took place without any problems. To explore the City leaves at the corner of the bus and to get easily to the interesting places of the city. When designing the apartment, the designer has triumphed over the functionalists! To get the hob, then you have already move furniture. But there are enough restaurant. A kettle for tea drinkers still missing, although this has already criticized before. Nevertheless, we would recommend these loft others. The equipment is very good.
Wir waren vom 10.04.2015-17.04.2015 in der Loft Casanova. Die Einrichtung entsprach den Bildern aus dem Angebot. Sowohl Check-In als auch Check-out erfolgte problemlos. Zur Erkundung der City fährt um die Ecke der Bus und man kommt problemlos an die interessanten Orte der Stadt. Bei der Ausgestaltung der Ferienwohnung hat der Designer über den Funktionalisten gesiegt! Um an das Kochfeld zu kommen, muss man dann schon Möbel rücken. Aber es gibt ja genug Restaurant. Ein Wasserkocher für den Teetrinker fehlt immer noch, obwohl das ja schon mal bemängelt wurde. Trotzdem würden wir Anderen diese Loft empfehlen. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut.
Alain was very responsive to our e-mails before we arrived. James, his associate, was extremely helpful on our arrival directing us to the apartment. He met us there and made sure we had all the information we needed and gave us his phone number in case we had any other questions. We loved the apartment. It was beautifully furnished and decorated. It is in a quiet area, close to the Metro and within reasonable walking distance of the main areas. The only recommendation for improvement would be a kettle for boiling water. We would have no hesitation recommending this apartment and would be happy to stay there again on our next visit to Barcelona.
My wife and I stayed at Loft Casanova for 4 days in late May 2014. The. Apartment is great and in a fantastic location for walking the streets of Barcelona. Our hosts were helpful and punctual at both check in and check out. We would definitely stay again.
Super Wohnung, beste Lage nicht weit zur Metro, jede Menge Parkhäuser gleich um die Ecke.Ziemlich zentral aber trotzdem Nachts angenehm ruhig und leise.
Um die Ecke gibts gleich eine der besten Cervecerias von Barcelona das
Bier Cap bietet eine gigantische Auswahl an Biersorten auch als kleine Probiergrößen. Die Barcelona Card würde ich bei einem Kurzbesuch von 3-4 Tagen nicht empfehlen, sondern eher die Sightseing Bus Card oder aber vielleicht am besten nur eine reine Metrocard.
Auf jeden Fall ist diese Wohnung nur zu empfehlen denn sie rundet einen wundervollen Barcelonaaufenthalt stilvoll ab.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Everything was perfect. The guys we met at the apartment were very friendly and interessted to make our holidays as best as possible. When there was a question before or while our stay in the apartment, one call was enough. Of Course it wasnt the easiest part to get into the apartment (there are many stairs), but it was worth it. I´m sure for that price you cant get any better apartment in barcelona for 3 people. A underground-station around the corner, and a 5-minute-walk to a big supermarket (LIDL) makes it very ideal for us. We got on the first day of our stay a few informations about the next and best restaurants, bars (..). All in all it was great! And a little bit sport (walking stairs) before sleeping isnt unhealthy ;-)
Book now...- its worth it :-)
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
A nice and quiet apartment with terraces on both sides. That makes is special. The reception was correct and to the point. Central in the city and close to the metro. The basics - kitchen, bathroom, beds, etc - are good. Lots of stairs to climb, but that didn't bother us. Could be a bit more cousy. (A more atmospheric illumination and a small coffee table will do wonders.) The internet connection is sometimes (in the evening) slow, which is a pity. We enjoyed our stay in this apartment.
We stayed at apartment for 7 days with big crew which contain 9 person. Apartment is wonderful,clean, equipments is well and very close to the Sagrada Familia, the metro and carparking area which located under the plaça Joanic. Nearby, there are bars and supermarkets.
Owners very very friendly, helpful and correct.
Exactly we are recommend it.
Thank you so much Sandiago.
The apartment is at a great location. It's much more romantic than it seems on the photos. The view is great and full of inspiration. It's clean, we found everything we needed in the kitchen. The beds are comfortable, the temperature is ideal. Wifi connection is working just ok. Climbing the six floors added to our physical and mental well being. Thank you.
The apartment is located right in the central Gothic Quarter and we loved it. It has all the necessities and is clean and pretty. For a city trip to Barcelona always recommended. The whole process was straightforward, correct and friendly. Thank you for the nice stay!
Die Wohnung liegt richtig zentral im Barrio Gotico und hat uns sehr gefallen. Sie verfügt über sämtliche Notwendigkeiten und ist sauber und hübsch. Für einen Städtetripp nach Barcelona immer zu empfehlen. Die gesamte Abwicklung war unkompliziert, korrekt und freundlich. Wir bedanken uns für den schönen Aufenthalt!

SCAD receives a Development of Excellence Award for Ivy Hall in Atlanta
The Savannah College of Art and Design received the Atlanta Regional Commission's 2012 Developments of Excellence Award in its "Exceptional Merit for Historic Preservation" category for the university's Ivy Hall Cultural Arts and Writing Center. Each year the ARC, in partnership with the Livable Communities Coalition, honors trend-setting developments in the Atlanta region with the Developments of Excellence Awards. Past winners have been honored for exemplifying urban revitalization, transit accessibility, affordable housing, conservation and sustainability.
Rehabilitation of historic residence
Rehabilitation of Ivy Hall began in April 2007, following the donation of the historic Edward C. Peters House from William Swearingen of S.D.H. Investment Corp. Inc., William Dunaway and Harry Hill. The Peters House, called Ivy Hall by the Peters family, was designed by noted architect Gottfried L. Norrman in 1883 and is considered Atlanta's oldest and most important residence from the post-Civil War era. After a debilitating upper-level fire in 2000, it remained vacant and unused until it was donated to SCAD.
Under the leadership of SCAD historic preservation specialist Bob Dickensheets, the adaptive rehabilitation of the home now serves as a cultural arts and writing center where students and community members can gather for poetry and book readings, seminars and lectures by prominent authors, as well as chamber music concerts. "The preservation of Ivy Hall and the creation of the writing center has been a gift to students and the City of Atlanta that will keep on giving for years to come," said Bob Dickensheets, associate director of external relations. "As with all of the buildings that have been preserved by the college around the world, so to are the communities, cultures and common histories that surround them."
SCAD historic preservation students also contributed crucial research and analysis with the Peters House rehabilitation. The university has provided many similar "living labs" for historic preservation students to gain hands-on experience.
SCAD's rehabilitation of Ivy Hall has also been recognized by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Georgia with an "Honorable Recognition Award," the "Shutze Award" for craftsmanship and the "Best in Atlanta Real Estate Award" in its rehabilitation/renovation category. The cultural arts and writing center was awarded the "Georgia Trust 2009 Preservation Award for Excellence" in restoration and the "Atlanta Urban Design Commission Award of Excellence for Historic Preservation."
The university's commitment to the conservation of architectural and cultural heritage is evident in its involvement with countless community projects and its restoration of more than 90 historic buildings at SCAD's locations in Savannah and Atlanta, Ga., Hong Kong, and Lacoste, France.
For more information, visit Ivy Hall.

Movie Review: The Wizard of Oz

The Wizard of Oz is a classic. But does it stand the test of time?

Directors: Victor Fleming
Rating: PG
Studio: MGM / Warner Bros.
Stars: Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger
Let's start a hunt right now for the crew that came up with the notion to give the 3-D and IMAX restoration treatment to the 1939 film classic The Wizard of Oz. Why? Because, despite the fears of many a film purist who had practically called for heads on pikes when Warner Bros. announced a 16-month restoration process, The Wizard of Oz blown up on a ginormous screen with 3-D effects turns out to be a full-on wow experience. By now, the movie's credentials as a time-tested family fantasy perennial are ironclad.
Based on the book by L. Frank Baum, adapted by an army of screenwriters, at least five directors and made at the pinnacle of MGM's powers as a Hollywood giant, the movie is everything contemporary fantasy films rarely are—richly imaginative; beautifully structured; filled with superb, witty songs and dialogue and wised-up but full of heart.
Then there are those indelible, full-out performances from Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley, Margaret Hamilton, Billie Burke and Frank Morgan, among others. To boot, it's also one of the head-trippiest movies of all time. But this beautifully buffed, subtle, painstaking and classy 2013 restoration is definitely a horse of a different color. Not only does the movie look and sound sparkling, but watching it is also now an almost immersive and startlingly intimate experience. We don't simply enjoy, marvel and fret during the discontented little Kansas farm girl's journey through Munchkinland, the Haunted Forest and the Emerald City.
The size, sound and dimensionality now make us feel like we're traveling right along with her and the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. If you love the old 2-D, non-IMAX version of The Wizard of Oz, join the club. It's not going away. But kick your doubts to the curb alongside the Yellow Brick Road if you doubted that the movie was ready for its multidimensional close-up. It's only playing in IMAX theaters for a week, and, trust us, it's more than worth the trip.

Hello everyone,
I am a first time beekeeper in Northwest Georgia.
Due to the current economic times I am unemployed and decided to build a Top Bar Hive. The cost was trivial and the experience was great.
The term Bee Space really sinks in when you build a hive.
I installed a Nuc last Friday the 17th of April and am really looking forward to keeping bees.

At what temp does wax melt?
I have an idea on how to liquify honey in the comb if the melting temps are far enough apart. I saw this box that a friend of mine made. It was a box made of poly. It has a pallet as a floor, and a lightbulb at the top. The lightbulb heats the box. He uses it to liquify 5 gal buckets of crystalized honey. I have a super that is mostly crystalized, I was thinking of making one of these, and using it to reliquify the honey so I can extract it. If this works, I'll make one large enough to hold 5 or 6 supers and warm them before extacting. I was thinking that I could install a thermostat. Any opinions?

Good to see 'parenthood' still comes naturally!!
Under The Falls - Iguazu Falls.
Amy and Sarah are a couple of 21 year old girls from Adelaide and we discussed travels over our breakfast, then went our separate ways - us to the bus stop to catch a local bus to the Argentinean side of Iguassu, and Amy and Sarah to get ready for the hostel mini bus transfer that was to take them to the falls also.
On arrival at the National Park headquarters we were browsing in the visitors centre when we spotted Amy and Sarah again. Sarah was upset because she had accidentally left her camera back at the hostel and as Amy's had been stolen previously in her travels, they were totally without a camera to record their day.
We'd love to help we said
An absolute highlight of our day was taking a speed boat ride through some rapids and then right under the falls. It was certainly not for the faint hearted! We were hit with an amazing wall of ice cold water that slapped us about the body and face and threw us back, leaving us gasping, spitting and yelling out at the sheer exhilaration and fear of suffacating.
One of the crew members of the boat, who was taking a professional video, assuming we were parents of Amy and Sarah, got us up to the front of the boat for an excellent "family" snap. Our day continued to be wonderful as we walked the walks to all different views of the falls, including the amazing Devil's Throat where the volume of water descending into the falls in a vortex, seems to mess with the senses.
Later in the afternoon, we headed off on an ecological tour of the river which was part of the "green passport" we had purchased and the girls headed off to do some more walks
We had had a great day, helping Sarah and Amy with photos of their day, and then we had an equally good night out dining together, with good conversation, and even enjoying a couple of bottles of good Argentinian red wine.
Next day we went our separate ways – Us to the bus station in Brazil to try and get ourselves off to Campo Grande and the girls had an overnight bus booked to Buenos Aries. Before we left Amy and Sarah gave us a beautiful hand written card thanking us for taking the photos. Thank YOU girls for giving us a great day too!!
POSTSCRIPT: Two Months after we took the tour the following tragedy occurred, reminding one that life can be tenuous.

Under Travel Tags: aires, american, argentina, boat, border, buenos, capsize, dies, falls, german, helicopter, help, iguacu, niagara, rescue, tourist, victoria Buenos Aires – Two people died and eight were injured after a boat turned upside-down at the Iguaz� Falls area, on the Argentina-Brazil border. The accident occurred around 11am, when a Jungle Explorer company's boat, in which ten people were travelling, capsized near Salto San Martin. A 25-years old American woman who was travelling along with her husband died. Troops of the local Coast Guard reported that she was rescued by another boat but was seriously injured and passed away when she was being transferred to a hospital. Also, a man whose nationality has not been identified died after the accident.Most of the people at the boat were tourists, three of them were German, while other three were part of the crew. The driver of the boat was seriously injured and remains hospitalized in a Buenos Aires clinic. Sources said that the boat might have crashed into some rocks and rolled over. But some witnesses said the boat engine seemed to have gasped before being pulled by the strong current created by the waterfalls. Iguazu Falls are larger than Niagara Falls, but is second to Victoria Falls in Zambia.Brazilian boats and a helicopter were used to rescue the surviving victims who were afloat going down the huge river
Footnote: Iguazu Falls are UNESCO World Heritage listed and feature in the book Unforgettable Places To See before you die.
Travel Talk: If contemplating a visit to the falls and looking for the best value we suggest the 3 countries tour was good value ($130ar ea) and the lunch was superb, certainly a visit to both sides of the falls is recommended as both Brazil and Argentina provide excellent infrastructure. However if dollars are short the Argentinean side has the best value as they have about 80% of the falls walks, a train ride to Devils Throat and boat to the island included in the park entry fee. As an add on the boat trip ($110ar ea on its own) into the falls was excellent (provided you are fit and game), however skipping the jungle ($110ar ea) and ecological tours ($50ar ea) (combination tours are available at a discount) would not detract from your experience particularly if tours to either the Amazon or Pantanal are planned. We also purchased the video taken of the boat trip into the falls and while we considered it very expensive at $30 US it is quite a good production and a nice keepsake but also unfortunately seems to be copy protected, stopping it being transferred to PC.

Greenwood—The Indiana Civil Rights Commission will conduct a training seminar for more than 40 housing providers Friday, June 22nd from 8:30 am-10:00 am at the Yorktowne Farms Apartment Clubhouse in Greenwood. The training, as part of The Power of Diversity™ statewide series, will focus on the Indiana Fair Housing Act (IFHA).
"It is important that we reach every corner of the state in our education and outreach efforts," said Jamal L. Smith, Executive Director of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission. "We want to ensure that housing providers, specifically, are aware of their rights and responsibilities under the Indiana Fair Housing Act to prevent illegal discrimination."
Enacted in 1968, the IFHA ensures that Hoosiers, regardless of their race, color, religion, nationality, gender, disability or familial status are afforded equal opportunities in real estate related transactions.
The training conducted by the Indiana Civil Rights Commission will provide an overview of the IFHA, specific examples of housing discrimination and important legislative updates including the Americans with Disabilities Amended Act. Continuing Education Units (CEU's) in Real Estate and certificates of completion will be offered for those eligible.
The housing workshop in Greenwood is just one in a series of training workshops conducted by the Indiana Civil Rights Commission as part of their Power of Diversity™ statewide series. The training series provides information on anti-discrimination laws and uncovers the benefits to a diverse neighborhood, workplace and community.
The Indiana Civil Rights Commission enforces the Indiana civil rights laws and provides education and services to the public in an effort to ensure equal opportunity for all Hoosiers and visitors to the State of Indiana.

To get the last of the honey out I loosen the wingnuts that hold the extractors legs to the platform, and tip it forward as the other posters describe. It works well enough that I'm not looking for another solution. Even though the platform is on the castors it remains manageable.

An abbreviation of the name for the practice of 'tantric wanking'. This is when one masturbates to the point of near ejaculation, but then suddenly removes his hand from his penis and proceeds to sit on it in a meditatory stance, thus ceasing the self-stimulation. The wanker repeats this process over the course of two to three days. Needless to say the result is incredibly spectacular, but can unfortunately result in knob-ache.

Wow – what an amazing bit of fall-out from the Google Images fun and games that's being going on in the media all day regarding this Michelle Obama "Offensive" image. I've been following it without any serious idea of how big a deal this is… until I went online and a few news sites and saw how many people are getting involved in this row, and in really serious tones.
Personally I struggled to find the image when I first heard the news and I'm including it here, not to further the problem or to try to snatch a few extra visitors to this rubbish blog (seriously, and honestly, I'm sorry if you think that) because of that reason. Hopefully people will understand that that's the true reason behind my posting it. As Google themselves have said, the image itself may cause offence but actually the conversation that's sprung up is interesting (in a social sense) and infuriating in lots of others.

Things are well. The ferrets have joined me in the evil ole Ewe Ess of Ay and have an additional brother, Cobra Bob. While I was in Canada anyway I got a new tattoo started on my right forearm and will have it coloured in a month or something. Then the real fun will start.
One of my boys, Sven, has a chick pea sized growth on the inside of mouth. This is not good. He's going to the vet this week. Cobra Bob has some dag nasty teeth but he's a rescued ferret from a Bad Person and now he's getting lots of lovin', especially some rough lovin' from his next oldest sibling who is really keen on this whole pecking order thing. I've had to break up some serious shit kicking fights. Bob is a cuddler and it's cool to have a slack sunday evening with a ferret snoozing on my tummy.
Boston itself is kind of neat. Some cool parts of town and some amusing folks. Sadly, I haven't met too many people of the non-geek persuasion since I haven't been getting out enough. A few but not a lot. The fact that I've had people tell me I'm a scary individual makes me chortle. I can't wait to bring Pete into town.
Joe and Nat are both stark raving lunatics and make me laugh. I need to stop making small bets with Joe.
Ok. I should probably work now.

You dip biscuits in your tea, are counting down the days 'til you'll be glued to the TV for the games, and spend way too much time perfecting your shepherd's pie recipe. In short: London's calling, and it's time to go home—or at least pay a visit and see a show.
Make it happen with this week's Escape from Premium Tours: a five-day, four-night stay on Fridays to Tuesdays for two ($1,298) in the heart of one of the world's most fascinating cities, named one of the best places to visit in 2012 by National Geographic Traveler.
You and your mate will shack up in style at the mod-luxe, five-star Grange Tower Bridge Hotel, situated in a prime, central location near the famed Tower of London. Besides plush beds you'll want to sink right into, you'll find a gorgeous spa, indoor infinity pool, fully appointed health club, and free Wi-Fi.
At night, you'll have two top-price tickets for your pick of a hit musical—"Chicago," "Billy Elliot," "Phantom of the Opera," "We Will Rock You," "Mamma Mia!," or "Wicked"—in the starry West End.
Wake up each morning to a continental breakfast, then see the sights—including Westminster Abbey, where kings and queens have been coronated for centuries and where recently, Wills and Kate tied the knot—in style atop a vintage, open-top double-decker bus.
You'll refuel over fish and chips and a pint or two at renowned Knightsbridge pub the Tea Clipper. Take a cruise down the River Thames and check out the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace accompanied by the illuminating commentary of a professional guide.
You'll also have plenty of time to hit the town on your own, whether it's stocking up on high-street accessories at Topshop; strolling the halls of the Tate Modern; sipping Pimm's Cup cocktails; or getting a taste of nose-to-tail guru Fergus Henderson's St. John Bar & Restaurant, which serves delicacies like braised lamb neck and lamb sweetbreads in addition to gastropub standards like gooey Welsh rarebit.
With more included than a certain British nanny could fit in her bottomless bag, the possibilities are endless—making this one British invasion you won't want to miss.

Has anybody used one of these, Dadant Woodwn Nuc Feeder #MO 1452. Just wondering if I could get a review, before I purchased some.
Thanks Steve
Has anybody used one of these, Dadant Woodwn Nuc Feeder #MO 1452. Just wondering if I could get a review, before I purchased some.
Thanks Steve
Not the nuc feeder, but I do have the 8 frame feeder. Same thing. The ones I've purchased last year are great. No leaks. The bees may build burr wax in the channel up, but it can be removed with the hive tool. No big issue. The feeders I've purchased this year were not as good. Lots of leaking, so I will have to reseal all of them.
Klamath Basin Beekeepers Association: www.klamathbeekeepers.org
Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/kbbafb/
I like the screened-in top feeders like this:
It's nice being able to fill them without having bees fly out... they are easy to build too.
Trying to think inside the box...
I have this type ordered
But it is on backorder, and I can get a solid answer out of Brushy mnt, about when they will have it. And it is holding up my entire order.
I custom make my own top feeders and they are just about exactly like the Miller Bee Supply. I seal them with beeswax. I also make both nuc size and full hive size feeders. My next experiment will be with feeders over a hole in migratory cover.
Bee all you can Bee!
Trying to think inside the box...
BeeCurious what do you mean that the plastic edge leaves a gap, thats to wide, I dont follow. I was also buying another nuc box to sit ontop of the feeder, would that close the gap, that you are talking about.
Also what did you mean about buying some comercial boxes if I needed them.
Thanks Steve
I haven't placed a box on top of the plastic feeder but I doubt if the weight will press the edge of the feeder flat enough to discourage bees from trying to enter...
I was suggesting that if you bought the feeder from Miller's, you could also try out their commercial boxes if you needed any. For me, they're a good buy.
Trying to think inside the box...
The easiest way to feed a nuc is to give them drawn capped honey.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Does anybody else use the one from Brushy mnt?
David there is a place on the left hand side of that feeder, were the bees can access the syrup. No osmosis going on there.
I'm disappointed with my hive top feeder from Brushy mnt. I bought two complete nucs, with two feeders, and two extra nuc supers. To go ontop of the feeder, to create a better seal, like the directions say you can on their website. It does say that you dont have to, but it does say that it has the exact same features as the bigger feeder and the bigger feeder says that you can, to create a better seal. The problem is is that the feeder measures 18 7/8" and the inside of the super measures 18 5/16". I would like to ask Brushy mnt how they fit a super over that.
Astro do yours measure that, have they changed, or do you have a different size nuc?
Be sure to share your opinion when the next person asks about these nuc feeders...
Trying to think inside the box...
Have used them 2 seasons with good results. Easy to fill and don't have to worry about drowned bees. Haven't had them leak.
I do not like the feeders from brushy mt and just posted a review on their site to that effect. As Beecurious mentioned The problem is that they say that the telescoping cover is enough to seal the plastic rim and it is not so a lot of bees drown. The only way to get them to work is to either place an empty box on top or build a shim. I bought these to avoid a box on top because I didnt want to waste boxes on this task--if I were to put A box on top the best way to feed is with an inverted jar with holes popped in the lid over the inner cover hole-and this feeder is FREE!
Here is the feeder I am talking about423PlasticTopFeeder.jpg
xcugat they did not post your bad review or mine, that is BS on Brushy mnts part. I was going to give them a good review from a differnt web address to see if they post that one. That says alot about them.
sfisher I dont know when you posted your review I did mine this weekend A small note on the bottom of the page said "reviews are processed and posted on weekdays" So I will give them a week to see if it posts. Dadant stopped carrying these feeders all together and put them on clearance which says alot
I did my review over a month ago.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The flat is in Shoreditch, so you are quit fast in the centre, the room was good and i slept really well. I Can just recommend this room
Clean and warm place to stay in London, near tube- and busstations. Nice room, living room, kitchen. pretty cheap.
Hi Hester, i was very satisfied of my journey at the Bethnal green road room.
It was nice and warm and the location in the east-end ol Londonisvery convenient!
I shall comeback sometime,
The accommodation was OK for one night. She was a little tired in some places also in need of repair, clean BUT .. Even fresh towels were provided to us. All in one, great value for money. Thanks Hester
Die Unterkunft war für eine Nacht Ok. Sie war etwas veraltet, an einigen Stellen auch reparaturbedürftig, ABER sauber..Sogar frische Handtücher wurden uns zur Verfügung gestellt. Alles in einem , gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Danke Hester
Wonderful location and beautiful people, very Central in only 5 minutes you can reach every important place in London! Hester you are great!
The house is located 10 minutes by bus from liverpool station, in a quiet Arab-Muslim of those "little good." the room was very small and the window came drafts so it was cold. only positive note was that the whole (shared bathroom, bedroom and kitchen) were quite clean. Mrs. Hester has ever seen, we have managed in total autonomy. no tv pc in a common room. too spartan and in a neighborhood too little "safe"
la casa si trova a 10 minuti di autobus da liverpool station, in un quartiere arabo-mussulmano di quelli "poco da bene". la stanza era piccolissima e dalla finestra entravano spifferi quindi era fredda. unica nota positiva è stato che il tutto (bagno in comune, camera e cucina) erano abbastanza puliti. la Sig.ra Hester non si è mai vista, ci siamo gestiti in totale autonomia. no tv un pc in sala comune. troppo spartano e in un quartiere troppo poco "sicuro"
A well located apartment with excellent connections to the public transport network (bus and tube). Everything was very clean and functional. Very nice contact with landlords. Really recommended.
Ein gut gelegenes Appartement mit besten Verbindungen an die öffentlichen Verkehrsnetze (Bus und Tube).
Alles sehr sauber und zweckmäßig eingerichtet.
Sehr netter Kontakt zu den Vermietern.
Wirklich zu empfehlen.
We have fine had in London, clean and spacious
we hebben het prima gehad in Londen, netjes en ruim
Beautiful room a bit small but quiet. The toilet is unusable at the top but it is not very serious The house is located 20 minutes from downtown
Belle chambre un peu petite mais calme.
Le toilette du haut est inutilisable mais cela n'est pas très grave
La maison se situe à 20 minutes du centre
It really was a last minute life saver and I am totally impressed both by the service and the host. Sincere Thanks and I am now a huge fan who will use this almost every week as I travel a lot!!
Clean room, warm and everything that the host promised. genuinely good and much appreciated.

text: Hey guys, got a weird problem here. My wife was driving her '03 Trailblazer the other night, and when she switched on the brights, the engine died. She switched the brights of and cranked it again, and a few mintes later, when she hit the brights again, the engine once again died. Leading up to this issue, she's noticed the left turn signal blinks fast, as if one of the bulbs or the relay is bad, but it only happens intermittently. And when it is happening, the A/C isn't cooling properly. I've changed the bulbs for the signals and ensured that the A/C was charged properly, but this new brights/enine failure issue has me stumped. Anyone experienced anything similar, and if so, what advice can you give? Thanks. Chris

What to Hold & Sell Ahead of Airlines Earnings: Cowen
U.S. airlines begin reporting their first-quarter results this week, and ahead of the earnings Cowen Securities analyst Helane Becker has delivered her verdict on the sector.
Becker says March's data may have unnecessarily spooked investors, and thinks worries about this earnings season are overblown. Among her picks:
We would be long Alaska Air Group (ALK) and US Airways (LCC) into earnings as they are positioned to report better-than-expected results. We advise taking profits in Skywest (SKYW), as we believe they will report lower-than-expected results due to flight cancellations.
Alaska Air reports on Thursday while US Airways' results come out tomorrow.
Like other analysts, Becker is generally bullish on the airlines sector: Of the 15 stocks she covers, nine are Buys and six are Holds.
Among her buys are Delta Air Lines (DAL),which reports Tuesday. Writing about the stock, Becker says:
After leading the industry for the past year, Delta's unit revenue growth slowed in the quarter as the weak yen and lower than expected close-in bookings hurt growth.
Barron's has been bullish on Delta all year, with Avi Salzman reaffirming that call in our March 30 issue (sub required).

"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
My top three right now are Warmack, Fisher or Banks...in that order. Very good chance all may be gone before 19 but with the combine and workouts you can never be sure who'll slide.
The idea of having C.Warmack blocking for Wilson has me salivating...the dude just plays so strong and vicious. Fisher is huge (6"7) nasty blocker with a solid frame who could immediately fill the void at RT...and Jonathon Banks is my boy. I think he's better Dee Milliner... he adds size, long arms to jam receivers, good speed and has value to contribute in the return right away while he's groomed to succeed Webster.
The Giants land any of those players I'd be ecstatic.

Elam also seems to be the kind of player the Giants like. He has versatility to play Safety/Corner/Backer but definitely looks best at FS.

As a human being, I have noticed that human beings believe odd things. Taking myself as an example, if I'm having a bad day and my gentleman of choice hasn't replied to a text within a nanosecond, he is undoubtedly (in my head) down a well with broken, non-texting arms, dead, or has decided to never contact me again. I know this is crazy and therefore work round it. On good days, I can realise he's busy, in the shower, or otherwise unable to placate my desperately needy mindset.
To take another example, on Monday dozens of people who were in love and gay got married in New Zealand. I believe that probably no one should have to be married to me. But I also believe the multiple ceremonies were a beautiful thing and not, as the Family First lobby group believes, "an arrogant act of cultural vandalism". As a progressive and Guardian reader, I respect other people's beliefs. But I also believe that, when other people's beliefs harm others or themselves and aren't based on fact, I'm allowed to point this out. It's not an expression of disrespect, it's more that I want reality to stay as real as possible, because without it I end up inside my own delusions and we know how unpleasant that can be.
Quite a while ago, politicians noticed that in our drive to produce more enlightened times we do try to respect each other and our beliefs. Because politicians can be very bright in dark kinds of ways, they worked out that, if they based their policies on belief, rather than statistics or observable, repeatable phenomena, we would have to respect them as men and women of conviction. Even if their convictions were wrong and dangerous and took us into unlawful conflicts, or unwise and cruel fiscal policy decisions. (Some politicians even came to believe it was OK to torture someone to death, if the torturer didn't believe their actions were going to be fatal.) Many politicians are now the political and intellectual equivalent of homeopathic remedies – they do us no good, and may even keep us from the help we need. I believe this is not a good thing.
Most of our politicians also embrace the faith-based economic system we call capitalism. Those of you who have actually read Adam Smith, rather than what the Adam Smith Institute said about Adam Smith, will know that, yes, he did believe competition was a good thing that could reduce prices. But he also believed manufacturers could fix prices artificially and harm consumers and so would require regulation. He also believed an individual (he was big on the individual) could be "led by an invisible hand" to make as much money as possible for his good alone and still benefit society. So someone behaving like a sociopath could accidentally do good. (In Smith's day, he was bound to be a he, rather than a she.) He stated that he believed someone can sometimes inadvertently help society by pursuing self-interest and sometimes inadvertently harm society when he's not. So he made a name for himself by stating the blindingly obvious. Sadly, the invisible-hand thing sounded really cool and inadvertently led to the foundation of a cult. Smith's invisible hand has inappropriately touched hospitals so they're not about healthcare, transport companies so they're not about transport, the BBC so that it's not about broadcasting, schools so they're not about education and so on.
Aid to the starving or any manifestations of love can be reframed as doing inadvertent harm to the feckless or the inhabitants of Bongo Bongo Land. And I mention love, not because I'm a doe-eyed Guardian reader, but because it's a worthwhile and beneficial emotion and just try applying "commonsense" capitalism in your personal life if you want to see how sane and workable it is. After your next night of love, try rolling over and offering your partner a wad of valuable £10 notes, instead of your worthless kiss. Yeah… There are other value systems. They get other things done. Good things.
Since Thatcher, we are supposed to believe that only the profit motive will make things work – always, in all circumstances. Because of the invisible hand. In our current form of capitalist faith, this belief is firmly wedded to the belief that human need is unlimited and will drive everything along just fine. If the invisible hand of unlimited need holds the invisible hand of unlimited greed firmly enough, all will be well. Which is just bizarre.
We know the market is a huge casino with subsidiary interests in tax evasion, law evasion and the concentration of profit into increasingly unwieldy and undemocratic, semi-visible hands. And yet we're expected to believe it can cure all ills and the word of people devoted to being as wealthy as possible and outrunning the odds. And when the risks go toxic everyone else has to help out the true believers, otherwise it will look as if the invisible hand doesn't work.
We also know that pinning our progress to unlimited human need is in every way unhealthy. My gentleman of choice should not, for example, be forced to soothe my insecurities at all hours. I may be massively needy, but even I don't need a slave – which is what someone who served my unlimited need would have to be. In fact, he'd have to be an army of slaves. All manner of research shows that human beings tend to be happy when they have enough. Too little, they're unhappy. Too much, they're differently unhappy. Enough is – wild coincidence – enough. Advertising, planned obsolescence and marketing on the addiction model all foster our unhappy need in the hope that our consumption can become unlimited and support the insupportable market. Whenever there are job losses, or attacks on unionisation, or workplace safety, or pay reductions, or the flat-out removal of pay, we are told – by the true believers – that unlimited need will bring forth more industries and jobs and more consumption. The invisible hands will meet and shake and do magic.
Except that is, of course, deeply crazy and too big to work round. Without change, we will continue to live inside interconnected delusions to our great harm. Unlimited need will inevitably exhaust limited resources, while more and more de facto slaves work harder and harder for fewer and fewer bloated consumers. And the invisible hands will meet and shake over a wasteland then disappear. That's what I believe.

Investigators: Kara Nichols didn't post prostitution ads
Search continues for missing teen
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Investigators in the Kara Nichols disappearance said the missing teen didn't post the escort ads that recently surfaced in Las Vegas.
The ads featured photos of Nichols, who's been missing from Colorado Springs more than seven weeks, but detectives said they learned the prostitution sites pulled old pictures of Nichols from the web.
"In speaking with authorities from the Las Vegas area, they say that it's quite common for escort businesses to simply shop around on the Internet and find photos like that," said El Paso County Sheriff's Lt. Jeff Kramer.
Kramer said investigators still don't know where Nichols could be, and have not ruled out Las Vegas.
Nichols' family says she was an "aspiring model." The 19-year-old had posted some provocative photos on the Internet prompting some media outlets to call her a "lingerie model," or post headlines like "Kara Nichols: Did Lifestyle Choice Lead To Disappearance?"
Aubrey Terry, with the Human Trafficking Task Force of Southern Colorado, said there has been too much focus on Nichols' occupation.
"People are stuck on words like "lingerie model" or "prostitution," and they're losing the fact that someone's sister, someone's daughter, someone's best friend is gone," said Terry. "That should be our focus, not the occupation."
Terry said she's often seen women considered, "less of a victim," because of lifestyle choices.
"Regardless of what she's engaging in or not engaging in, she's still missing," said Terry.
She said from her work with victims, she knows that aspiring models, like Nichols, can be especially vulnerable.
"There's been places that have fronted as modeling agencies that were actually just centers for trafficking and prostitution," said Terry. "So there's definitely a connection between the two."
Nichols left behind her cell phone, money and driver's license when she last left her Colorado Springs apartment on October 9th. She told her roommate she was going to Denver for modeling job.
Anyone with information should call El Paso County Detective Cliff Porter at (719) 390-5555 or email tips to email@example.com.

Many have attempted to label the growing movement celebrating historic fashion, vehicles, design, and imagery - 'revival', 'retro', 're-enactment' - but I prefer the term 'Heritage', which implies continuity between what our parents or ancestors found to be of quality, and our enjoyment of the same. Nostalgia is a dead end...we can't 'do' the past again, and wearing a detail-perfect 40s/50s/60s ensemble looks great in magazine shoots with the help of an art director, but usually appears costume-y in 'real life'. What's interesting in the present is the trend for discovering and embracing what's valuable from the past, intended for use today.
|Heller's Cafe was the subject of Tanaka's 'King of Vintage'
|Is it Easter yet? Rust's collection of Bell helmets and their own gloves
|'Made in Japan' means obsessive attention to detail and quality...
|The new antique. No crude stone-washes, all artfully done.
As Rin Tanaka's influence expands with more books published and more readers, he's bringing the manufacturers and collectors of Heritage gear together with his 'Inspiration' shows. This was year 3 for Inspiration, and the second aboard the Queen Mary; the show grows every year, and next Feb may see it expand into the nearby dome for more vendor space. The photographs here give a sampling of the people and businesses who inhabit the Heritage universe, quite a few of whom are motorcyclists.
|Savvy American companies 'get' what's happening, and bring out their own heritage designs, or partner with Japanese designers for a fresh look. Vanson Leathers has 'only' been around since the 70s, but has earned their authenticity card.
|Triumph Tiger 110 crankcase as décor; works for me.
|Peter Max -inspired poster for Surfy Surfy boards
|Sunrise Cycles from LA
|Shinya Kimura's 'Needle' Harley Knucklehead based speed run machine; 118mph so far at El Mirage...
|Sporster and vintage helmets...which is more dangerous?
|Well-curated stalls; for the dedicated vintage-hunter, a pleasure
|Not just Japan; Germany has a burgeoning Heritage clothing movement...Pike Brothers hails from Brannenburg.
|This photograph in no way constitutes an endorsement of 'staying loaded'. From Cycle Zombies.

|Shinya tries on his custom Dehen riding gear...with his 1915 'Cannonball' Indian behind. He'll be running the Cannonball again this September, as will The Vintagent...

|Vincent - Right On!
|This man is the Real McCoy.
|Men's File! Get yours now! The premier English-language Heritage lifestyle magazine.
|Men's File publisher Nick Clements discusses a vintage custom-order needlepoint Vans sneaker with avid Vans collector, photographer Dimitri Coste.
|We are all nomads, wandering the earth for a time, our only home the dust of final resting.
|Bill Wall, the Nomad, making jewelry on the spot.
|Danilo Coto Cruz has been making non-DOT helmets since 1991 in Costa Rica, under the Pacto brand. With a look like that, his wife could sell me just about anything...

|Himel Bros. Leather of Toronto has published a great blog for many years, 'The Art of Vintage Leather Jackets'
|Hats, newly made by West Brook Maker. Lots of vintage American flags as décor, with fewer stars than today.
|Jeff Decker brought some of his collection of 'Cuts' - motorcycle club cut-off jackets. 'Hell's Union' features a 5000 year old symbol used by many antique cultures, recently given an unfortunate association with a German madman, who spoiled it with a mere 25 years of mis-use.
|Elvis 50s Corporation is a cross-Pacific business selling all sorts of crazy 'junk'

Sponsored Tingles: OSiS Style #2
Rude boy and Zuma
The OSiS/Schwarzkopf Professional Party Like a Rock Star is in its 4th week. They want to send you to a high profile, invite-only party and have 2 tickets with your name on them!
You and a friend will be whisked away to St John's, Newfoundland where you will party like rock stars and rub elbows with the hottest celebrities at an ultra exclusive Gibson Guitar All Star party. Afterwards, crash in your plush suite and revel in celebrity-worthy swag that includes a Gibson SG Standard guitar and loads of other gifts! Enter once a day until February 28th and refer friends to increase your odds. Click here for more details and to enter if you haven't done so already.
Each week leading up to the contest close date we're exploring celebrity hairstyles with tips on how to get the featured looks using OSiS' professional styling products. This week, it's OSiS Upload for volume with conditioning that looks natural.
Usually it's Gwen Stefani with the pulled back pomp but the other day at the park, with her boys, Gwen was loose with a mom blow out rocker styles. It's about the layers. My hair is stick straight. And until I agreed to throw some layers into it a year ago, I never believed it could do this given how long it is. Now possible. With product, but possible.
It's been a rather low key couple of months for Gwen and family. They spent much of December in London close to his family, then a glamorous New Year in St Barts, and upon returning to LA have elected to keep the public engagements to a minimum and hang with the kids. Like at the Farmer's Market. With a Rude Boy and a Zuma.
And again, remember to enter the Party Like a Rock Star contest before February 28th! Enter every day until the end of the contest (maximum one ballot per day). Good luck!

Early afternoon fire damages home
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - Emergency crews were called out Tuesday afternoon to a house fire in Sullivan County.
We learned it happened about 12:30 in the afternoon at a home along Webb Court off Old Jonesboro Road in Sullivan County.
Firefighters told us no one was hurt, but a couple of pets may have died in the fire.
Officials said when they arrived on scene heavy smoke was pouring out of the building. "We do have heavy damage in the house. The fire started on the basement, but it did proceed up into the main living area, so we do have overhaul to do in the structure," said Brian Gentry, fire chief of the East Sullivan County Volunteer Fire Department.
Gentry told us the cause of that fire is still under investigation.

|CFDA Numbers:
- Partnerships in Character Education Program
84.215V - Partnerships in Character Education
|Program Goal: To help promote the development of strong character among the nation's students.
|Objective 1 of 1: Support the development and implementation of high-quality character education programs.
|Indicator 1.1 of 1: Partnerships in Character Education: Partnership in Character Education Program grantees will demonstrate improved student outcomes through valid, rigorous evaluations.
Source: Review of biennial evaluation reports included in program files. Because of different grant cohorts, information will be available each year for one or more cohorts, but data related to each cohort are collected biennially.
Frequency: Biennially.
Next Data Available: October 2006
Data Validated By: On-Site Monitoring By ED.
Limitations: While all grantees are required to conduct evaluations, only those responding to the competitive preference for rigorous evaluations are actually conducting valid, rigorous evaluations. Thus, only a subset of Character Education grantees are actually reflected in the data collected under this measure. Evaluation results will be available after two years and at the completion of the each project.
Explanation: A subset of grantees evaluate their projects using either experimental or quasi-experimental designs. Evaluation reports will not be available annually. For each cohort, no target will be established for years in which evaluation reports are not due. Future year targets will be established as baseline data become available. The FY 2006 target is to set a baseline for the 2004 cohort, the FY 2007 target is to set a baseline for the 2005 cohort, and the FY 2008 target is to set the baseline for the 2006 cohort.

The University of Colorado at Boulders Center for Environmental Journalism has selected five journalists as Ted Scripps Fellows in Environmental Journalism for the 1997-98 academic year.
Starting next fall, the fellows will study environmental science and policy for two semesters at the university.
The recipients are Michael Milstein of the Billings (Mont.) Gazette, Bruce Ritchie of the Gainesville (Fla.) Sun, Christine Shenot of the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel, Jenni Vincent of the Fairmont (W.Va.) Times-West Virginian and Dan Whipple, a free-lance writer from Broomfield, Colo.
The Ted Scripps Fellowships in Environmental Journalism were established last fall at CU-Boulder with a three-year $545,000 grant from the Scripps Howard Foundation of Cincinnati. The Center for Environmental Journalism, part of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, was selected to host the program after a national competition among leading universities.
The fellowship academic program is designed to give journalists with at least five years of experience an opportunity to deepen their understanding of environmental science, policy, law and journalism. Each will receive a $26,000 stipend to cover housing and other expenses while on campus.
The fellows will attend classes, participate in a special seminar and conduct independent study in areas of their choice. The 1997-98 fellows projects include issues of Western growth, environmental activism and endangered species.
We were delighted with the high quality of this years applicants, said Len Ackland, director of the Center for Environmental Journalism, founded in 1992. The fellows selected have excellent credentials and the potential to make a difference in the field of environmental reporting. We look forward to their arrival on campus in August.
The fellowship program was founded in 1993 by Cindy Scripps Leising in memory of her father, Ted Scripps, grandson of the founder of the E.W. Scripps Co., and a journalist who cared especially about the environment. Scripps (known as Scripps Howard) is the parent company of the Rocky Mountain News in Denver.
Accurate, objective and intelligent reporting on environmental issues is more important today than ever before, said Judith G. Clabes, president and CEO of the Scripps Howard Foundation. We are pleased that together with CU-Boulder we can better prepare these journalists to meet this challenge.
Following is a list of the 1997-98 Ted Scripps Fellows:
Michael Milstein is a reporter for the Billings (Mont.) Gazette, a frequent free-lancer and former reporter for the Los Angeles Times. He has a bachelors degree in public policy from Duke University.
Bruce Ritchie is an environmental reporter for the Gainesville Sun and has been with the Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville and United Press International. He has a masters degree in mass communication from the University of Florida.
Christine Shenot is a business reporter for the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel and has been with Investor's Business Daily and a Japanese wire service. She has a masters degree in journalism from Columbia University.
Jenni Vincent is a reporter for the Fairmont (W.Va.) Times-West Virginian and a former local correspondent for the Associated Press and public television. She has a masters degree in environmental law studies from Vermont Law School.
Dan Whipple is a free-lance writer whose articles have appeared in publications including the Los Angeles Times and Field and Stream. He was a reporter for the Casper (Wyo.) Star-Tribune and editor of High Country News, now in Paonia, Colo. He has a bachelors degree from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service.

After a massive storm, a city discovers a nearby river is now polluted with toxic chemicals, thanks to inadequate storm drains—but where did the chemicals come from? Population growth necessitates building of new roads, schools, sewers, and other infrastructure—but which areas are environmentally protected and must be avoided?
In many cities, the infrastructure is decades or centuries old, and public works managers have thousands of digital documents containing important historical and current information about it. Many of these documents are "unstructured"—not in a database—and an estimated 80% of all digital writing includes at least one geospatial reference. Even when relevant information is within a database, the geographic references often lack the necessary coordinates. Only when both the structured and unstructured information is fused into a single, cohesive view can you get the complete picture needed to make an informed decision.
In public works, nearly all activity (such as wastewater management and construction, or road maintenance) is tied to a location. As such, the geographic references in documents, reports, e-mails, and blogs are important—but not necessarily easy to find. The data are collected by many different people, in different formats, both structured and unstructured. Few, if any, documents are clearly marked with a latitude and longitude.
It is difficult to search through archives. Traditional search engines cannot resolve ambiguous location references. Take the unlucky manager searching for a reference to Washington Street in the city of Lincoln. Traditional search tools cannot distinguish between the use of Washington or Lincoln as place names and as names of former presidents. Results could easily number into the thousands, most of which would have nothing to do with the location in question. Equally difficult is a search for a Sinclair Avenue, in a town whose former mayor's surname was Sinclair.
Select The Right Tool
Fortunately, the proper tools are out there. A geographic text search (GTS) is a search tool that can tell between geographic terms and automatically resolve them to a specific latitude and longitude. The tool uses geospatial information and non-geographic text to allow officials to quickly determine whether a document refers to his or her area of responsibility and interest. In addition, the geographic pattern becomes obvious when results are visualized on a map. These GTS solutions become even more powerful when the underlying map is served from a geographic information system, creating an authoritative decision support tool.
GTS solutions are already in use at federal, state, and local agencies. The power of these solutions comes from their ability to use natural language processing (NLP) to mimic the process a human would use to resolve ambiguous references within a document, then geospatially tag it with the correct latitude and longitude (to see an image of a GTS solution in action click here)
By looking at a document's context, NLP can differentiate between different places with the same name and people's names that are similar to place names. It is also used to identify relative references such as "30 miles south of Cleveland," tagging the most likely point of reference. The solution is thereby able to provide meaning resolution—discerning the actual intended meaning of the document's author.

Alleged scammer tried to join contractors association
Penn Estes applied to Santa Barbara Contractors Association, was denied
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Penn Estes was in court on Monday facing a host of charges on suspicion of preying on seven victims of two devastating fires.
NewsChannel 3 learned Estes had run-ins with people other than her alleged victims.
Estes seemed legitimate. She was, after all, the CEO of Green Building America. But her company raised red flags for the executive director of the Santa Barbara Contractors Association.
"She did not have a contractor's license. We could not find her name on any kind of corporation that was attached to a contractor's license. She never produced a number and her company name, Green Building America, was never on the contractor's state license board either," said Karin Perissinotto, the association executive director.
Perissinotto said Estes kept coming back to her office. She even turned in an application -- without the $50 fee -- to become an association member.
"Before we even process the application, we go online and make sure that their license is current and active," said Perissinotto.
When Estes was denied membership, she went straight to the source of the money -- people who lost their homes in the fires.
"And she would come in and really just sweet talk the homeowners. She was obviously very charismatic, and able to convince people to give their insurance money to her, which is not an industry standard at all," said Perissinotto.
Estes is charged with scamming victims into handing over all their insurance money and claiming she would rebuild their homes.
That never happened. Now she's facing multiple felonies.
"Diversion of construction funds, grand theft, theft by false pretenses and some special allegations which include defrauding victims of a natural disaster," explained Deputy District Attorney Gary Gemberling.
Those charges could keep her behind bars up to 21 years.
Even after allegedly taking all that money, Estes may get a public defender. For now, she remains at the Santa Barbara County Jail on $2.5 million bond.
