Discussion in 'March 2012' started by roscoe36, Mar 24, 2012.
7:00 PM EST TV: FS Detroit Plus / NBA league Pass Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
The Wiz that I enjoyed had Michael Jackson....... The Wiz that I tolerate has some guy named Nene........ Wiz by 1..........
We need to lose this game.. let's play Charlie Garbage 30 minutes
Im going to call Washo's on this one. The acquisition of Nene makes this a nice net positive for the Wiz. By less than 8, under 195. Ill chuck a few dollars on it =)
I am going to this game....My boss is taking me, VIP tickets, I'm excited, I will proudly represent the Detroit Pistons, he's a Wizard fan tho....
Where's he taking you to dinner before the game? That may be the better part of the evening, considering the matchup.
With the VIP tickets, you get food included, and parking...and good seats.... Tickets are not that expensive either but you know its the Wizards so.....(I'm not saying anthing bad about my team)
Definition of tanking: Playing Ben Wallace during crunch time. They don't guard him on offense. He can't make a free throw. Unless you are going to use timeouts to sub offense-for-defense, you can't have him in there....unless you are tanking.... Clutch shot at the end for Super Collider. With Rip gone, he is developing into our go-to guy.
Thank god i put money on the under, rather than the loss.
Finally the Pistons win one where they took the last shot...and it dropped in......a crunch time big shot by Stuckey in a game that both teams struggled to put the ball in the hoop. It appeared that Taynking was in affect for both teams as Coach Larry swapped out Moose and Max during crunch time and left Big Ben in there to close out the game. Ben obliged the coaches' taynking objective by missing three FT's in the last 90 seconds but a big a big three by Stuckey, a tip in by Moose and then the Stuckey jumper with .2 seconds left won it for Pistons, who didn't taynk as bad as the Wizards who have lost several games in the 4th qtr Welcome back Stuckey, goodbye Mr Gordon...
As my mate put it: The Pistons lay the smackdown on Washington today. Shooting a lights out 37%FG and a lava hot 23% from beyond the arc, their passing definately added to this edge, with the team dishing out a mind altering 12 dimes in the 48 minutes played. Austin Daye gets player of the game with 2 rebounds and a personal foul in just 6 minutes. He also managed to get off 4 beautiful shots with a 100% brick rate. Back to you Cam.
Good win by the team in a game where they shot 37% from the field. Super Collider (not so much at the end though) really came through for them. Rodney was huge at the end of the game as he got into his groove, and he of course hit the game winner. He didn't start off well by any means, at one point committing 3 offensive fouls in succession. I was honestly concerned that he seemed to be forcing it a bit in the first half (thus the offensive fouls), probably with the knowledge that his team absolutely needed him to score, but he did much better when he calmed down in the second half and got his jumpers to fall. His FG% isn't the best (9 for 20), but the team's outside of Greg and JJ who each only took 4 and 5 shots was way worse. And he came through when it counted. Good second half for him. Greg had a quiet night, struggling with turnovers (he had 5) and fouls (also 5), but he finished the game with a modest double double (10/10), and his last two points came off a huge tip in of Tay's missed shot at the end which set the stage for Rodney's game winning shot. Not a bad day at the office considering that, but his defense does need work. Brandon played pretty well, bouncing back from his 2 assist, 6 turnover game against NY with a 7 assist, 1 turnover game tonight (as a team, they only had 12 assists, 18 TOs). He also had 6 boards and 3 steals. His FG% is as about as bad as it gets, he was 3 for 13 - but he played solid defense on Wall at the end especially, staying with him and forcing him baseline to make that shot attempt as difficult as possible and made him miss. His highlight (which made the game's highlight reel) was a hustle play - he flew out of bounds trying to get a loose ball and got drenched. But the bigger play came after, his third steal of the night which got them an extra possession. Tay was ok. He was the only guy who could put any points on the board for a while there, and finished with 18 points. He also made that nice pass that led to Rodney's 3 that put them up 2. Max was a non-factor and played only 17 minutes. JJ was very good, he played with a lot of energy and was a big part of the comeback effort just playing like that. He also tipped in Brandon's missed shot that tied the game iirc. He finished with 9 points and 12 boards in just under 31 minutes. BG only played 6 minutes, and presumably will be out when we play Cleveland as he has a sore groin (seriously what's with all the groin pulls this year? Off the top of my head, Rose, Rip, Chauncey, Rodney, Melo, and now BG - crazy). Bynum - He can score, but often to the detriment of the team. He also committed all of his turnovers forcing his way inside among the trees even when his teammates were back with him. He's like a far less effective Stuckey circa 2010. Sure, he'll make nice plays here and there, but I never feel like he's a net positive. I also don't get why he "played point" when either Rodney or Brandon were on the floor with him either; he seems to have pretty bad floor awareness. He also committed fouls after each of his 3 turnovers. Austin played for the third straight time, and was 0 for 3 in just 5 minutes. 100% brick rate. He did grab a rebound at one point, but was a non-factor the rest of the time. Not enough PT to do much, though. Big Ben was ok. That rebound off Wall's missed layup attempt was huge (though he inadvertently elbowed Jonas right in the face on that play; JJ's fan girls' collective hearts must have stopped), and he thankfully was able to make 1 of the 2 fts after. Good game. Frustrating at times, but they just never went away; they just kept coming back at the Wiz the whole game and finally got over the hump in crunch time. Nice to snap that ugly five game losing streak too.
Whoever wrote that boxscore is a dick.
I'll give the "Richard" nod to this box score........... Tim Duncan missed Sunday night's Spurs game because he's 'old,' officially | Ball Don't Lie - Yahoo! Sports
Extra Effort | NBA.com The game changed in the final minute with this Gatorade moment!
Now that was a fun game in the end. I will have to change my opinion of Stuckey if he keeps this up. Maybe he just needed a good coach.
Zero assists, but a nice shot at the end...........

"Our impressive REF 2014 results show our growing strengths across all five of our subject areas. Our 100% score in the research environment category demonstrates the vital and sustainable context that has flourished since the merger of the former Edinburgh College of Art and the University of Edinburgh. As a College, we are particularly excited to be contributing to the broader ecology of world-leading research taking place in Scotland."
A diverse community
Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) has a vibrant research community reflecting the diverse expertise of its members and the disciplines it brings together. Based across five schools and numerous research centres, our varied projects use and develop methodologies that can be speculative, process-driven or product-oriented. Our strength is in also fostering rich, creative relationships between investigators and across lines of critical inquiry, leading to both depth and breadth of understanding across art, design, culture, architecture, environments, media and music. Our cross-cutting approach has attracted funding from major providers, including the UK Research Councils and institutions from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors in the Arts, Humanities, Science and Medicine.
At ECA, we focus on engaging stakeholders at all stages of our research projects, from shaping initial questions through developing methodologies to sharing findings and recommendations. As a result, our research has achieved substantial impacts on public and institutional policy and professional practice, as well as having raised awareness and understanding among the public. Many of our research projects are site-based: in studios, galleries, museums and concert halls. They also reach beyond cultural institutions and audiences to industry, healthcare, law, education, cities, landscapes and the people they serve.
ECA is home to a number of flagship research centres, including OPENspace, the Scottish Documentary Institute and the Institute for Music in Human and Social Development. Our leading academics are Principal and Co-Investigators on projects bringing together researchers from world-class universities and institutions and published in established international journals. We are dedicated to building capacity and skills among early career researchers, helping them to become leaders in their field and ambassadors for our Institution. We are delighted to have 11 of the University of Edinburgh's Chancellor's Fellows, all selected for their track record and their potential to drive forward creative, innovative and exciting research.
ECA performed exceptionally strongly in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014. REF is a process of expert review. The assessment outcomes are used in grant allocation and provide accountability for, and evidence of the benefits of, public investment in research. According to the Research Fortnight 'Power Index' (based on breadth and quality of research), we are eighth in the UK for Art, Design and History of Art. In Music we are placed thirteenth. Our joint submission with Heriot-Watt University (HWU) in Architecture, Built Environment and Planning, places us second. Across all five of our subject areas (Art, Design, History of Art, Music, and Architecture & Landscape Architecture), 100% of our research environment has been recognised as either world-leading (4*) or internationally excellent (3*).
In Art, Design and History of Art (REF Unit of Assessment 34), we are the top-placed University in Scotland for the volume of research activity taking place at a world-leading (4*) and internationally excellent (3*) level. We are placed in the top six in the UK.
Together with HWU, with whom we made a joint submission, we have retained our status as first in Scotland for volume of world-leading and internationally excellent research in Architecture, Built Environment and Planning (REF Unit of Assessment 16).
Within Music (part of REF Unit of Assessment 35), we are top in Scotland for both world-leading and internationally excellent research outputs. The breadth and quality of these 4* and 3* outputs places us in the top 10 Music submissions in the UK.

:confusedI was wondering if i was the only person to notice what looks like a dent that was filled in slightly up and to the left of the one showing on my 2002 rubies, i know it's crap but its all i can afford right now. Also I was wondering what side of the helmet the DP license was on, because on the back of the helmet (on the oposite side of the trade mark) is what looks to be a filled/covered copywrite.
:confusedI was thinking about moving the dent to where it once was, what type of bondo or filler would work best for the non fiberglass helmet.?
:rolleyesI'm i correct in thinking that the mold was a reused Don Post?

I only have 2 complaints on this pistol. 1 has the worst DA trigger in world and I belive its to thick for caliber and size. This is main reason I grabbed up a 950BS while back. I know its a 25 but carries very flat and is SA . I think 9 rounds of 25 will get someones attention. Have I gave up on a 32 No I'm looking at a Seecamp 32. Larrys been turning these out for years and price in reasonable today for the 32. DA all the way and a smaller package.Till then I make do for normal carry with my PPK/S ,Mustang or S&W Bodyguard The 950 for when I really need to be discreet.
I won't even look at the NAA Guardian to heavy and their QC is a question.Costs almost as much as a Seecamp .
Just remember not of these 25's or 32 are a power house. My father was shot when I was young in a disagreement. Round hit belt buckle and deflected into upper leg. This was a 32auto ball. He wasn't aware he was shot Till my mother noticed. Country Doctor came to house They kicked down a few and he removed the bullet. Had a couple more with my father and left. Today would have reqired FireDept 20 cops Emt's and trip to hospital paper work and 1000's of dollars for same thing. Times are a changing Shooter never went to jail but did have sense to move far a way.

I have been using this product for 5 months and it has made a significant difference to my energy levels and sleep pattern. Have also recommended it to my sister who is anaemic, she is much better after taking this B12.
Works better when put between the gum and lip - no sugar alcohols (but does contain lactose). Note: high doses of B12 may deplete iodine, iron, zinc, manganese
Posted by Health-Is-Wealth on Jan 20, 2014 | Verified Purchase
I don't tolerate mannitol/sorbitol used by other brands but the small bit of lactose in this seems OK. I found this one works better when put between the gum and lip - under the tongue it dissolves too fast. I'm going to try California Xtracts and Jarrow Formulas instead. 1) Pure Advantage methyl-B12 spray - ineffective (I wonder about the sorbate preservative in it); 2) InterPlexus Inc NutriSorb liquid hydroxycobalamin - effective but still needs to be 'converted' to active form - I found the one drop dose suggested on label isn't enough; 3) Solgar cyanocobalamin 1mg sublingual - dissolves too fast and not as effective as active methyl-B12; 4) Source Naturals methyl-B12 1mg sublingual - contains mannitol and sorbitol. Iodine/B12 are synergists - suggest adding/increasing either one if taking more of the other, especially long term. Same is true of other nutrients such as manganese and zinc (both need cobalt, high cobalt may deplete them) - could be why some people note headaches after taking high doses of B12 (both high and low manganese can cause migraine-headaches). High doses of B12 will also deplete iron - they are antagonists. If this review was helpful to you, please click YES below - thank you.

This is the only form of B-!2 I will use because all others make me ill. I have been taking it for over three months now and see an amazing difference in my energy level. I have seven kids and am studying for my MPH degree. Believe me, this product works.
Great Product

I could definitely tell a difference after taking it only a couple of days. I still have to adjust how often I take it; once a day is too much - I find it disrupts my sleep. But great product, good for a vegetarian like me.

I have been on the B12 (cyancobalamin) injections for a while and when I stopped getting the same results, as when I initially started the injections I knew I was missing something. I did some research and found that the body sometimes does convert the cyancobalamin over to the methylcobalamin like it should. I thought it was worth a shot and I am amazed with the difference. It took a week or so, but wow! I feel great. It is easy to take, didn't taste bad (like some of my supplements), and just took a second (no water necessary). I was surprised that a lot of suppliers do not carry the methylcobalamin and mainly distribute the cyancobalamin. Thank you iHerb! It has made such a difference and is so simple to take that it will always be part of my daily routine. I can't imagine not taking it daily.
Great B12

Really high quality B12. Melts under tongue for quick assimilation. No unnecessary sweeteners like some other brands. This Methylcobalamin better that cyanocobalamin.
Good product
Posted by Reviewer3168886 on May 04, 2009 | Verified Purchase
This methylcobalamin form of B12 does work faster, and also dissolves within about 30 seconds. It gives an energy lift.
Better than the rest
Posted by Reviewer1105411 on Jul 23, 2009 | Verified Purchase
I've tried several brands of sublingual B12, and this is by far the fastest-dissolving - also fast-acting. I take this for my restless legs and mild neuropathy in my feet, and it really helps.

My question is this. If he's there in the 7th round when the Giants are on the clock, would you want them to give him a shot? Do you think Jerry Reese would give him a shot? Discuss.


text: You people can say what you want and I am past the whole thing about having a shot at Peterson last draft. The bottom line is Darren McFadden is a stud who is absolutely great! I dont think it fair to compare the two backs but I really dont see major differences in their results. I watched the Razorbacks game this Saturday and was amazed at how fast he is. He has been clocked running the 40 in a 4.35 and has the moves and power of an stud in the making. He will not go past the 3rd pick and I think it would be a steal to give up both #1 picks to get him! Because let's be honest, Julius and Barber are o.k. but this offense definitely needs the WOW factor.

Sydney, Australia
"Sometimes the acquisition of knowledge or facts is the least important factor in success…the really important factor is something much simpler — just a desire to create, to learn, to express oneself."
— Betchablog, February 11, 2008
As someone who has been in (and occasionally out of) education for over 20 years, Chris Betcher has a few opinions on how he'd like it to work. He is particularly interested in thinking about how schools need to change to accommodate 21st century learners and how technology can be used to make learning more interesting, relevant, fun, and engaging.
Betcher is currently the R-12 ICT integrator at Presbyterian Ladies College, Sydney. He originally trained as a visual arts teacher, but thanks to an interest in graphics and design, found himself drifting away from that role and into a variety of technology-related areas, including the teaching of computing and multimedia, the provision of training and professional development in ICT, general network administration, and ICT coordination. He has also had industry experience with Intouch Consultancy as their Australian training manager and also Microsoft Australia as editor-in-chief of the rapid deployment business case study program.
Betcher is an active member of the global edtech communities and regularly contributes to the online conversations taking place in that space. Over the years, he has led a number of online initiatives and global collaborative projects, and he presents regularly at various conferences and workshops around Australia on a wide range of ICT-related topics, including interactive whiteboards and Web 2.0 technologies.

Path of Destruction: Timeline released on Carteret County tornado
CARTERET COUNTY - The National Weather Service has released a preliminary timeline of the tornado that moved through Carteret County Tuesday night.
The EF2 tornado, with an estimated maximum wind speed of 125 mph, spun up just south of the Bogue Banks before coming ashore in western Atlantic Beach at about 10:18 p.m. Tuesday, according to the NWS.
The tornado then hit Ocean Sands Condominiums on West Fort Macon Road. Parts of the building's roof were ripped off or caved in, and 11 people were evacuated, said Atlantic Beach officials. Some of the victims suffered minor injuries and two were taken to Carteret General Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
(CLICK HERE for photos of storm damage sent in by viewers.)
The tornado also caused EF2 damage to the Island Beach & Racquet Club Condominiums, the NWS reported. The complex suffered heavy roof damage and four people were evacuated. At least one victim was treated for minor injuries, said town officials.
The tornado continued moving across the Bogue Banks, causing EF1 damage along Hoop Pole Road, snapping many hard and softwood trees, and causing minor damage to several homes, according to the NWS. The greatest damage came from falling trees.
The tornado then passed across the Bogue Sound and came ashore at Carteret Community College Morehead City, causing EF1 damage to several buildings on campus. According to the NWS, the tornado blew out windows and caused significant structural damage to one wall of the historical Camp Glenn building. In addition, the student center building was so badly damaged that it will be closed until January.
Trees at Carteret Community College were also uprooted and snapped. However, no serious injuries were reported at the campus.
The tornado later passed by Carteret General Hospital, causing only minor damage to the building, according to the NWS. But many trees and vehicles outside the facility suffered strong EF1 damage.
The tornado continued heading north-northeast through residential areas of Mandy Farms, Country Club East and Crab Point, causing extensive EF1 damage to trees and homes, the NWS reported. Most of the damage to homes involved the loss of roofing materials and sidings. However, many hard and softwood trees were snapped and uprooted, some of which fell on homes.
The NWS estimates the path length of the tornado to be about 5.25 miles. But it could be slightly longer since the tornado started as waterspout over the Atlantic
Ocean and continued into the Newport River before lifting.
The width of the tornado remained consistent at about 150 to 200 yards throughout its entire path, according to the NWS.
The Atlantic Beach Inspection Department has condemned a part of Ocean Sands Condominiums as unsafe. Two units at Island Beach & Racquet Club Condominiums have also been condemned.
In addition to Atlantic Beach, NWS teams were in Morehead City, Riverdale and Richlands Wednesday to survey the damage.
Also on Wednesday, power was restored to Ocracoke Island at 9:05 a.m., according to Tideland EMC. Power was lost to the island at 12:19 a.m. when two transmission poles were broken along Highway 12, just north of the Ocracoke pony pens. Officials believed a waterspout or tornado broke the poles.
Emergency personnel on Ocracoke were reporting notable amounts of standing water in the northbound lane between Ocracoke Village and the NPS Campground, and surface sands on the road north of mile marker 76.
Highway 12 / Irvin Garrish on Ocracoke is passable, but drivers should exercise caution. There is a significant amount of water standing at the Ocracoke-Hatteras Ferry Dock, but the ferry is operational.
Trained storm spotter Tim Forrest reported damage to El's Drive-In in Morehead City. He said all the oak trees around the restaurant were damaged or knocked down.
According to the daughter of the owners of El's Drive-in, the building survived the storm. She said there was slight damage to the building's roof, damage to an outside freezer roof, and some of the trees in picnic area were down.
About 6,000 Duke Energy Progress customers were without power in Carteret County Tuesday night. According to Progress Energy Carolinas, several power lines were damaged in Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, and Salter Path. The outages have since been restored.

Cranston native and Strange Famous Records rhyme rep Prolyphic digs even deeper into his personal journals on his new album Working Man, the long-awaited follow-up to his 2008 SFR debut The Ugly Truth. Add SFR in-house beat conductor Buddy Peace into the mix and the result is a booming platter of introspective anthems for us blue-collar brethren. To celebrate, some major players from the Strange Famous stable will be corralled under one roof next Saturday (the 25th) when Pro will be joined by Metermaids, B. Dolan (with new live band in tow!), "surprise special guests," and, of course, SFR bossman Sage Francis. Visit strangefamousrecords.com and scoop Working Man on disc or download ($9.99) right now or snag a copy at Fête.
"This album is not so much political, but personal," Prolyphic noted when I caught up with him earlier this week following a show in Duluth, Minnesota. The subject matter delivered by the Cranston West High grad hits home on many levels as he peels back the scabs of numerous life-altering moments across Working Man, including our state's (ongoing) recession, the nightmarish flood of 2010, and his mother's battle with leukemia.
"I didn't set out to make a blue-collar concept album, but that's eventually what it turned into," Pro acknowledged.
"My wife and I both experienced job losses during the recession — my wife was laid off twice in one year by two different companies," he said. "It was fucking crazy.
"We couldn't find full-time work and we were both college grads, so the feelings of failure, anger, and hopelessness started to set in for me and began to shape the overall theme of the album," he continued. "All of these socio-economic issues started to make their way into my writing — how could it not?
"I couldn't write happy songs when all of this shit was going on."
A few days following the hometown show at Fête, Prolyphic and his wife will officially relocate to Washington, DC, where he landed a full-time video production job at Georgetown University.
"In a lot of ways this new album is a dedication to Rhode Island, and now I'm leaving — it's crazy," Prolyphic said.
"This show is going to be an emotional one for me," he noted. "It's like my going away party."
Prolyphic has been in the public eye for nearly a decade. His demo hustle eventually landed him a deal with SFR in 2005.
"Prolyphic and his friends would visit my radio show at 90.3 WRIU back in the day," Sage Francis recalled. "They were just kids at the time, 14 or 15 years old, and they wanted to freestyle on the radio.
"He was so shy and unassuming so I didn't take note right away, but when I heard his demo tape I was pleasantly surprised by his skill and wit," he continued. "It was interesting to discover he had so much going on in his big ol' alien head."
Francis also noted Pro's continual development in "shaping songs. He is speaking about a lot of difficult things that he's been dealing with, but he does it in a way that includes the listener rather than it just being all about him.

Has anyone ever put a hive in a shed, with a tube or something to the outside?
Has anyone ever put a hive in a shed, with a tube or something to the outside?
Take a look here
this guy has put hives in his Atic
I had a friend who kept them in a building with slots cut out for the entrances. It seemed liked the hives never thrived because they did not get that direct morning sun during cooler times that warms the bees up and get's them going. In the spring and the fall it was always 5-10 degrees cooler in that building than outside in the mornings I was there. I'm sure people do it successfully - just a consideration.
I've seen posts on this forum of hive houses in Europe. Pretty neat. You may do a quick search for the thread.
I consider the sun shining on the hives through the winter as a major source of their heat on cold nights. Now the bees being in a shed on a 100 degree July afternoon. that sounds pretty good.
I have read where keeping bees over winter in a cellar was common practice. no idea how well those bees did but from what I can tell it was self induced disease effect that reports on losses looked like exactly what we have now. They didn't have diseases then to kill the bees so they killed them with the beekeeping methods. this is one of the main reasons I don't think that diseases today are the cause of the losses. they are just what is currently being blamed. I seriously wonder if bee losses are due to inadequate keeping methods that have simply never been improved. Losses have been consistent for well over 100 years. the reported causes are the only thing that change.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
> I consider the sun shining on the hives through the winter as a major source of their heat on cold nights.
Hmm, where I live the sun goes away at night.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
You must live south of the equator!
No, the top part tilts toward the sun to give you daytime and then when the bottom part tilts to the sun the top part gets night time! Silly, spinning in the other direction. If that was the case our friends in Australia could cruise over for the weekend.
BTW I'm sure they ment the latent heat held over from the sunlight would help warm the hive at night.
i have built two observation hives in my shed wall they wintered over just fine.second winter with them.
I stated several nucs last summer but the weather was so hot and dry that the nucs never added any stores. I decided to put two of the 5 frame (medium) nucs into my front porch. Since i did not want to drill a hole in the wall, I placed a 2x4 in the window with two holes in the 2x4. The sun does warm the hives up nicely on sunny days. The inside temperture of the room is usually about 55- 60 degrees F. A hole was cut in the top for the lid of a pint jar and a #8 wire mesh placed underneath. I have to refill the jar about once per monh with 1:1 sugar water. I also add a teaspoon full of Mann Lake's PRO HEALTH to a gallon of syrup to keep it from molding. I have done this for two winters with no problems excpt once in a while a bee will excape into my porch.
Hope I can figure how to load a picture of these green nucs thru the glass window.
I will try this picture again...
In the photo I see sun hitting the hive through a window.
Any thoughts on how a hive would do in a shed or building with just a cut entrance hole, no morning sun to heat up the hive? No winter sun, except what shines into the "escape tube" or however bees are allowed to fly outside.
Hive maintenance would be done indoors- bees that leave the hive during maintenance are now in an enclosed room, possibly in the dark- trouble.
I'd like to try something like this due to my unforgiving winter climate, but don't see how it would actually work with a lot of stings.
Daniel Y, are you talking about strictly winter losses or losses in general? If winter losses, yes, you can add stress to a colony through an improper way of wintering them, and there are diseases that are propagated by the mites that cause winter loss. In general though, what beekeeping methods are to blame for losses and not disease or mites? John
>>Hive maintenance would be done indoors- bees that leave the hive during maintenance are now in an enclosed room, possibly in the dark- trouble.<<
Dirtslinger, I was thinking about a bee escape. But most sheds aren't bee-tight anyway and I think they would go for the light and get themselves out. The reason for the bee escape would be to keep them from getting back in.
Cdevier, I like your picture. I had something like that in mind but maybe a little more camouflaged from outside.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
I get the feeling someone has never tried beekeeping in the dark then? They crawl along ground and crawl up your pants. It was one of my first beekeeping lessons learned, ouch.
Dirtslinger, are you actually in Van, or up in the Cascades?
I wish I had the warm temps they enjoy btw Bellingham & Coquitlam...but happy I don't have to endure so many fewer flight days b/c of rain.
A bee escape cone pointing into the hive over an entrance opening indoors will let the bees back in, but none out.
if winter warmth is an issue due t elevation, closeting the hives in with foamboard will trap hive warmth, (the guys in alberta actually have to *cool* their overwintering sheds) and if more is needed a 100 W light bulb on a timer or thermostat would probably serve well.
Smart man knows that the road is a one way street..
Wise man looks both ways anyhow.......

Oh, HELL YES!
JSE Surplus - AR 9mm
here is some nice stuff for only a little $$.
stainless steel 9mm barrels in 7" and in 16" for $105
uppers in 9mm for $95
bolts/BCG in 9mm for $150
and a mag block for $35--
only thing is i can't decide if i want a 16" or 7"??? i wish they had a 10" or 11.5" !!!
Last edited by j427x; 10-20-2011 at 03:23 PM. Reason: shorten title line
Oh, HELL YES!
Yeah that's a good deal.
If you don't feel like putting the parts together, for about 40-50 bucks more you can get a complete upper
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
well it looks like i joined the 9mm AR-15 club. i got a 16" barrel and one of those ramped 9mm bolts. looks like i got the last one.
don't fret though. PK arms has the same ramped bolt carrier on sale for $150 as well.
Thanks for the link j427x, I ordered one of the barrels yesterday for a 9mm di project for a member on another board. A quick thread job for a barrel extension and a re-chamber which will beat the pants off of profiling a blank. Never heard of the PK Arms site, but it looks good too!
i have been thinking of doing a DI in something like 45 acp or maybe 357sig--
i have the feeling 357sig would really be a smoker from a long barrel --like a 10"-16"
i thought i would go the blow-back and just see how it runs first--
did you check out those $35 mag blocks?
Yes I saw the magwell blocks. Are they made of plastic or aluminum? I'd eventually like to try uzi mags and was thinking about getting one. Dunno if the di and uzi mags will work though. There have been several people that built 45acp di uppers and at least one guy claims to have made a 357 sig di upper. The 357 sig upper should work just fine with a 762x39 bolt with a couple coils missing from the ejector spring to keep the much lighter cases from being battered into the barrel extension upon extraction.
i have got two goals in the pistol cal ar project
#1 is quiet
#2 is cheap--LOL
the problem with the 357 sig is the brass is a bit more expensive than 9mm and it sure ain't going to be quiet if you load it up to make full power.
i am sure the $35 mag blocks are the same ones sold by C-products polymer with some steel in critical areas.
one of the things holding me back on building a PC ar was i cringed at buying a $179 mag block.
what i really wanted was a 10.5" barrel the bad news is we just missed a sale at green mountain where they were $80!
but a stainless that has GI profile for $105 is certainly a great price. and if i decide to go SBR i can just cut it back to whatever i think i want--

Campo speaks gently, precisely, closing his eyes from time to time as if testing his words against some interior echo. Beyond his dusty sixth-floor window loom the wellness factories of Longwood Medical Area, alien and grand, with their divided population of impervious nurses and perforated patients. Apollo, god of poetry and healing, lives right here. In his office, Campo hears stories, one after another, each offering its unique symmetry of the imaginal and the corporeal. "A day like any other: 8 am/and I am listening to him explain/exactly where the pain is . . ." begins "On Doctoring," from his 2007 collection The Enemy (Duke University Press), which has just won the Sheila Motton Award from the New England Poetry Club.
"I'm pretty much immersed in narrative all day long," he says. "For me, writing isn't something that I do, you know, by candlelight, in a narrow room."
With an owl watching.
"Right. An owl. And blood dripping onto the page. It's more of a collaborative process. Many of the voices that I hear in my practice are not heard in the wider society. They're marginalized for various reasons, and poetry has always struck me as a good place to address that, to speak the unspoken."
Structurally, Campo is a formalist with a taste for the exotic. "Being a hybrid myself," he says (he is Cuban-American), "I'm very interested in playing with Indonesian forms and Middle Eastern forms, importing some of these things, being in a way almost promiscuous with form." But along with his sestinas and his pantoums, he gets a lot of mileage out of the rugged old iambic pentameter: ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum. "Well, when you've listened to as many hearts as I have! The iambic pentameter, that's really the music of our humanness. We begin hearing that before we're even conscious of it."
I tell him about the intro to the hardcore band Sepultura's "Refuse/Resist" — the amplified heartbeat, fierce and aqueous, of singer Max Cavalera's unborn son — and he clasps his knees in delight. "Ah, that's wonderful. Wonderful. It's ironic that the stethoscope was invented as a first step in distancing the doctor from the patient. No more ear to the chest. But from my perspective the stethoscope is now an intimacy. Listening to someone's heart or someone's breathing, I experience that empathetic moment. I'm hearing their internal life force!"
Campo's bright eyes brighten further when he hears that I am also speaking to Wright, whose work he has featured in the writing workshops he runs for his patients. "Suffering as something that synthesizes and unifies as a spiritual body — that's something that's very present in his work. That's why we go to his poetry." What do the workshops do for the patients? "Well, we come to poetry I think because we are silenced in many ways. In biomedicine, we're so good at appropriating the narrative — the biopsy report, the CT count, the potassium level. Writing gives patients an opportunity to say, this is my cancer, this is my HIV. It's not a generic, what you see on the mammogram or how many lymph nodes are positive — I'm an individual. We're really kind of retarded in our understanding of the mind/body interface."

In its 3-0 start to the season, the Saint Mary's College men's basketball team has received a big lift off the bench from James Walker III.
The junior college transfer already had one happy homecoming in his young career as a Gael. Walker, a Southern California native, will try for another when Saint Mary's competes at the Anaheim Classic this weekend.
The Gaels open the tournament today against Drexel (1-2) in a 1:30 p.m. game that will be televised by ESPN2.
"It will give us the best gauge yet of where we're at," said Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett of the eight-team tournament.
As Saint Mary's aims for its third NCAA tournament bid in four years, Walker has been somewhat of a pleasant surprise.
Even as a newcomer to Bennett's system, the 6-foot-3 combo guard has firmly entrenched himself in the Gaels' rotation.
"Coming in I didn't know what to expect," Walker said. "I just knew my role was to come off the bench and give the team a spark either on defense or offense or both. So far it's been going pretty well, I just have to keep it up and keep being consistent."
Walker earned Bennett's trust with strong showings in scrimmages with Stanford Arizona State, and has emerged as the Gaels' third-leading scorer at 10.7 points per game, just trailing stalwarts Matthew Dellavedova and Stephen Holt.
"This summer if you'd have told me he'd be doing this I would have been surprised," Bennett said. "He's doing a really nice job offensively."
Walker came to Saint Mary's after sharing junior college state player of the year honors at Citrus College near Los Angeles. A graduate of Los Alamitos High, Walker returned to Southern California after a year at Utah State, feeling his strengths weren't compatible with the Aggies' half-court system.
Coincidentally, Walker's first road trip as a Gael sent him back to Logan, Utah. Though the Utah State student section picked on him all night, Walker delivered a breakout performance -- 14 points, three steals and three rebounds in a 67-58 Saint Mary's victory.
"You want to know who those guys are that are going to play tough in tough situations," Bennett said. "Going into Utah State was a very tough situation for him and he excelled."
Bennett said Walker was ahead of the curve offensively and is "a good defender that has a chance to be a great defender once he figures out our system."
Walker loves the pace the Gaels play at and enjoys playing alongside other talented guards, especially Dellavedova.
"He's a guy I can definitely learn from," Walker said. "He's got all kinds of experience, international experience, and I can learn a lot from him."

Plating Q&A: Gold Pitting Problem
A Products Finishing reader writes to Art Kushner: How can we solve problems with pitting and haze on our hard gold deposit?
A Products Finishing reader writes to Art Kushner:
Q. How can we solve problems with pitting and haze on our hard gold deposit?—J.R.
A. Pitting can be caused by a number of different factors. Hydrogen gassing, particulate matter suspended in the plating solution and inadequate cleaning of the base material are three common causes.
Hydrogen gas formed during the plating process can stick to the surface of the parts being plated. If the bubbles that stick to the surface do not slide off rapidly, the plate will form pits. Typically, a pit due to hydrogen has a "small" tail. In most plating baths, this problem can be minimized by adding wetting agents/surfactants. The problem also can be minimized by increasing the agitation of the bath. Depending on the type of agitation, different wetting agents may be required.

ETSU community anxiously awaits TBR vote
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - ETSU is one step closer to bringing football back to campus.
As we reported Wednesday, the finance committee of the Tennessee Board of Regents approved a $125 per semester student fee.
Now, there's just one major vote left before the university could get the official green light. That will happen Friday morning, and we found out those for and against football are anxiously awaiting that vote.
"I love football," said ETSU student Paxton Aardema.
"It's going to raise school spirit," student Bailey Bradford told us.
"It'll put Johnson City on the map," said Drew Johnson, another ETSU student.
The expectations are high, but Buccaneer football may no longer just be a thing of the past.
With the Tennessee Board of Regents' finance and business operations committee approval of a $125 a semester student fee, there's just one more vote for a green light.
"If this is given a positive consideration on Friday, then we'll spend the next couple days dotting our 'i's' and crossing our 't's' and move forward with some sort of major announcement next week," ETSU President Dr. Brian Noland told News 5 over the phone.
Now all ears are on what the TBR will decide Friday morning.
"It's a big step. It's [a] make us or break us type step," said C.M. Boggs, the vice president of the Buccaneer Football and Friends Foundation.
His group has been working eight years to raise interest of bringing football back to ETSU.
"I think everybody's looking forward to it. We can't wait," Boggs added.
The anticipation is building on campus, too.
"It's very suspenseful, you know. A lot of us, we're just really wanting it to happen," said Drew Johnson.
But not from everybody wants TBR approval.
The football debate continues to make headlines in the student newspaper. The East Tennessean reported that on Wednesday, a petition that would put the football decision to a student vote failed by about 800 signatures. 1500 were needed,but only about 700 were approved.
"I signed that petition," said ETSU student Corntey Cagle.
Cagle and friend Katie Blunt told us they don't see football making money on campus or adding extra school spirit, so they don't want to pay for it.
"I hope that it's not approved, honestly," said Cagle. "[I want the TBR] to see what we see from it," added Blunt.
Dr. Noland told us over the phone, just like Wednesday's meeting, he expects thorough discussion on the topic of football.

Inspiration: God cares
Do you believe God cares for His children?
In the book of Exodus, God miraculously provided food, water, clothing and shelter on a daily basis for the children of Israel. He parted the waters of the Red Sea allowing them to cross then closed the waters behind them thereby destroying their enemies.
In (Josh 6:20) the children of Israel saw God's care for them when God broke down the "walls of Jericho." In (Josh 10:12-14) He caused the sun to set still for nearly a whole day as his people won the battle over their enemies.
Christians, in the midst of life's battles, sometimes mistakenly assume that God's real care will only be experienced when they get to heaven, but Jesus said that God will look after the needs and safety of His children here on earth.
In Matt 6:31-32 Jesus said, "Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to eat or, What are we going to have to drink? or What are we going to have to wear? For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all."
In (Matt 6:33), in the Amp. Version, Jesus said, "But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His Kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and all these things taken together will be given you besides."
This promise was not made to the world as a whole, but to His people, the ones who accept Jesus as their personal Savior.
When speaking of the world, He said they wish and crave for things such as food, clothing and other things; however, Christians are to place their trust in God. And "your Heavenly Father knows well that you need them all" (Matt 6:32).
There may be many tough and unpredictable times during this earthly life, and we are not to neglect the things He has directed us to do. But when we put Him first, the Lord will provide for us, watch over us and be an ever present help to us!
There are many books that tell of God's miraculous care. Volumes have been written about people who have been miraculously fed, clothed and delivered from all sorts of disasters and even death.
Protection, provision, peace and joy are a result of the grace of God, God's care, (His love and favor) for His children. Just as He cared for the "Children of Israel," so will he take care of you, because in Jesus Christ, you are His child.
(Adopted from article by Samuel Mills.)

Umbra Aqua - Mac Pro
Project Umbra Aqua
1) Convert a MacPro 2006 case to accept modern computer hardware.
2) Create a cooling solution that can surpass what is required of it.
The cooling system that is required is a custom water cooling loop, which consists of three radiators in series. In order to achieve this, the case must be modified to fit a mATX motherboard; this will provide enough space to fit the third radiator.
I got my hands on a mac pro 2006. I knew when I saw it, I had to get back into modding. I have always loved the g5 case. I did some research and found that there was many ways of turning the mac pro into an atx or matx. Route I am taking is a blend of many of them. The key difference is in my conversion phase I am not going to keep all the Apple wiring system, front panel, and mounting. What I decided to do was use a donor case to get all pc mounting systems and parts.
- Preparing the cases
- Water Cooling gear pack 1
- Rad mounting bracket
- Front Panel I/O
- Front Panel and PSU mounting
- Second Rad mounting and second round of orders
- Motherboard tray designing
- Road trip to Frozencpu.com
- Reinforced Rad frame
- Front Panel (Fan controller / switches)
- Acrylic bending for custom fan shroud.
- Rear I/O, Rear fan mounting and Finishing Rad Shroud
- Paint makes everything look better
- Installing Water Blocks

-1/30/2013- I found a name I would like to use. Umbra Aqua, its latin for shadow water. How I came up with the name? Well the case is silver and I am so far planning to paint it two tone silver. So I guess you can say I went from shades to shadow. There you have it, Umbra Aqua
I picked up a Lian- li pc600f for $69 which had:
-mother board tray
-120mm x2 fans
-140mm fan
-front wiring with usb 3.0
Now the Mac Pro. This was a working Mac Pro.
It toke me about 1 hour to get to this point
Time to strip the lian li
Window one
window 2
This is to create a frame to mount the water cooling too.
I am going to cut from here for the front panel
So as you can see the Lian li case was great to harvest from.
I have ordered my water cooling set up for phase one of the cooling.

I am actually having a hard time deciding if I should mount the motherboard lower in the case, this will mean in the future I can put a full atx board. The problem is that in my ideas for phase two of the water cooling, I would like to mount a 280 rad on the bottom. But with a atx that wont work.

So the water cooling parts arrived. They look pretty sweet. I am still missing the pump top and stand. Its on its way and should be here by next week. I am going to be moving soon I am going to try to get all the cuts done for the water cooling frame before I move. After I move it might be a couple months before I swipe out the whole case again. I might just do my wiring in the mean time.
The whole lot.
The res is so sweet and has some weight to it.
I am still in shock how sweet the fittings look.
In these two photos you can see the space that is left after the mother board will go in. First is with rad fitting at the bottom and second photo is with the rad fitting at the top. I am almost 100% sure I will mount the res to the water cooling frame. But here is the photo just to see how much room I had before the tray.
I found something I want to change. The little stand under the rad is going to have to go. It looks ugly. Instead I will make a cover for the whole bottom to hide wires and bottom of the rad frame.

Feb 5th frame and rad mount
So I left last time with being unhappy with the raised area under the rad. So lets just dive right back into the swing of things.
Drilling out the rivets
Took the plate off and realized I could reuse it upside down. As soon as I found the screws for it I found that was a no go. The screws were tiny like watch screws
So I made my own out of green acrylic.
Little bit of filing here
Now there is more room for that rad.
After I fit the rad. I was playing around and found that the old ram and CPU cover fit perfectly straight up. So I started thinking why not use them as the rad shroud. So once I get the rad mounted, that's next on my list.
The frame for my rad and water cooling.
I was so happy with my find I started working on it before the rad mounting was done.

A package came today. The missing pump top. I thought it was going to be the rounded corner version from the photos but I got the square one. What ever no biggie I am just happy its here to I can mark it up on the case.
Time to go back to the case. I dont get much time off and I am moving soon so I was a man on a mission today.
Tapped the piece I made.
I used the threads to line up the aluminum stock
Then drilled and tapped it.
Here I am lining up the frame to find the point to drill it. I also find the hard drive rack needed to be cut to clear the frame just a hair.
Drilled and tapped the two frames together.

This is some work I did on the front panel. I am going to moving in less the two weeks so I really got keep the mess to a minimum. BTW do you guys like the description of the picture to be on top of the picture or under the picture.
So for the front panel I will be using the Lian Li case. It has the cut out I need and USB 3.0. I really did't like the Mac front panel because it has fire wire which I never use.
Marked it up. Made my first cuts with a Dremal then cut with a jig saw.
Here I filed the piece. Then filed some more. When I thought I was done, I filed for ten more minutes.
I think it look good now. But I have a funny feeling that I am going to be filing it some more.
I cut a piece of acrylic to match this piece. I sanded it down. Then I started drilling the hole for the connectors. Did not go so well. Its ok though I didn't like the design any way.
I made a new piece that allowed the connectors to be flush with the front panel. I started glueing it together this morning. Nothing like the smell of J&B when you wake up.

There was two dual core 2.66ghz xeons. They work, just don't have a use for them.

19 Feb front panel/ psu done
So since the last time I posted I have got a little more work done and no packing. Which looking back is a little insane cause I am moving in 9 days now.
I was able to acquire a Corsair HX 1050 of kijiji for $140 CDN. I really like the Corsair psu's I got a HX 650 in my main rig right now. Its was great for overclocking my A10 to 4.6 so I thought it would be great in this build also. I would love to put Corsair AX in this build but lets be honest I don't got a money tree on my balcony.
The J & B weld is also now cured so I went to work on mounting the front panel to the case. I found there is still to much room between the button and the panel. So I am thinking either make a spacer to go on top of the button or cut more of the case. Right now I am leaning towards making a spacer.
So here I am lining up the holes to drill and tap the new piece.
Cut my hole on the case then filed down the edges
All done for now.
Now time to work on the psu.
So here you see the mounts were drilled to fit the new screws. I mounted the psu standing upward because I have designed it to be off the floor of the top.
Then I placed one of the apple rubber spacers under the psu before I rotated the case the right way.
You might have noticed I have placed the psu with the fan upward. There is two reasons for that. One is to keep the top area as its own thermal zone. Two is because then the psu wires that are hard wired in the psu will be facing away from visible side.
BTW I tried this time to place the description on top of the pic. Its easier to write this way. I hope its easier to read for you guys.

Sediment Coring in Mesocosmsto Assess Nitrogen Transport to Biofilms
Students taking a sediment core from Bull Trout Lake in the Sawtooth Mountains, Idaho. A simple PVC plastic pipe pushed into the sediments and then capped can be used to extract cores in shallow environments. The work shown here was done to assess the relative amount of nitrogen-15 uptake by the biofilm community and that in the phytoplankton. The benthic biofilm takes up far more nutrients than the more commonly studied plankton community

C. trachomatis test, CZ test, chlamydia test
This test looks for Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria in a sample of cells collected by your doctor.
C. trachomatis bacteria cause chlamydia, the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the U.S.
The CDC recommends that sexually active women 25 and younger be screened once a year for chlamydia. That's because as many as half of women who get chlamydia don't have any symptoms. Men should be tested as soon as they have symptoms or if their partners are diagnosed with chlamydia.
In women, chlamydia may lead to cervicitis, an inflammation and swelling of the cervix. If it isn't treated, it can lead to serious sexual health problems, including infertility. In men, chlamydia can cause urethritis, a swelling of the urethra and possibly blood in the urine.
Chlamydia can be effectively treated with antibiotics.
You may have this test if you are a sexually active woman 25 or younger or a man whose partner has been diagnosed with chlamydia.
When symptoms occur in women, they can include:
Abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge
Stomach pain
Pain during sex
Pain when passing urine
When symptoms occur in men, they can include:
Watery discharge from your penis that's not urine
Swollen scrotum
Painful sensation in your testicles
Your doctor may also order other tests because chlamydia symptoms can be confused with symptoms of other STDs. These STDs include:
Hepatitis B
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Normal results are negative, meaning that no chlamydia cells were found in your sample.
A positive result means that chlamydia bacteria were found and that you are likely infected with the disease.
This test requires a sample of cells from the urethra in men or the vagina in women. For men, the doctor will gently insert a swab 3 to 4 centimeters into the urethra and rotate it once to collect cells. For women, the doctor will put the swab into the vagina to take cells from the cervix.
This test poses no known risks.
Other factors aren't likely to affect your results.
You don't need to prepare for this test.

A really good apartment, not far away from the city centre and next to the jewish district. I would recommend it.
very nice Apartment, clean, big, near city centre...15 - 20 minutes walk
litle noise from tram station, but great place for cuples or friends, who want see this lovely city.
Positive feedback:
Host is very organized and kind. The conditions of the apartment were corresponding to the description. The rooms was clean and comfortable, near the old town (10 min in by walk, 3 min by tram).
The location is good for nighlife; the apartment is close to kazimirez where you can find a lot of bar, restaurant and pubs.
Opportunity for improvement:
I don't like sofa bed, I prefer normal bed.
Good apartment close to the old city and next to the former jewish quater. We enjoyed the stay, but the bed was not very comfortable. Also the toilet is not bolted to the floor which can be a bit enoying.
The location was very good and Beata spoke English quite well. It was clean and there is an overnite parking area nearby at ~6€ for 24 hours.
The biggest problem I had was misunderstanding the "one bedroom" listing; the bedroom is locked and private, guests have only the one room studio for use and the bed is the foldout couch. (which I was unable to fold out). The picture showing a bed is really the sofa bed, not as I thought, a bedroom. My niece slept on the floor, as even if I had managed to unfold the sofa, it would have been a bit narrow for two people who are not "really good friends".
For the price and a short stay, it was okay.
The apartment is a very nice place to stay. Beata wrote me a good description how to get into the apartment, since she couldn`t come herself! Everything was there as described, presenting the apartment!
Just a little remark concerning the"aesthetics": one or the other picture on the walls would give the place a more personal touch!
I definitly recommend the apartment in the the Kazinirz "district"!
Thank you, Beata!
The apartment is nice and comfortable and in a very cool neighborhood and very well communicated.Beata gives you a very quick answer to all of your doubts. Makes you things easy.
We've a very nice time in Krakow.Highly recommended
Our experience in krakow has been perfect in Beata's apartment. We didn't need to take tram or bus because the centre is really close to the house, about 15 min by walk.
The apartment is clean, beautiful and furnished with everything.
Beata helped us in everything, she is really flexible with checkin and check out time.
We suggest her apartment of course.
Nice studio, perfect situated next to tram and the famous Lody ;-) of Krakow.
Yes, you can hear the tram, so better close the windows at night if you are sensitiv
Contact with Beata via email and SMS very easy.

Robbing occurring, two langstroth started very late for New Hampshire (mid-June, things unfortunately set starting up back.) They stalled at 12 deep frames drawn since early August, worried about getting two deeps full for winter so I fed. My mistake. Fed with hbh additive, might have spilled a little as frame feeder spills before you get to opening top, the scent drove local bees into a frenzy. Bees were mean for first time ever. Hives became covered in bees, some not my colorations, some climbing then taking off. No fighting. I closed both hives down to single entrance then covered in wet sheet. After two days of rain, the sun finally came out and now bees all over and at sheet.
1: What next, wait another day with sheet? Close off entirely for a day? (hives have screened bottoms, bottom entrance / currently reduced.) How do I know robbing is over? How long to act against?
2: Also as it seems that only the original package italian bees really built any comb (not the newly born carniolans, but maybe that was August dearth caused) I'm worried that I only have 12 full combs in each, with lots of brood 7 frames full, and only uncapped honey and pollen on outer frames. Thought they'd fill two deeps. Should I give them the Autumn to prepare or should I unite the two hives???? (Is one - 3 deep hive better than two - 1 deep with a half full deep hives?
3: How can I feed a weak hive without inducing robbing. Or should you?
