Kokanee salmon spawning in Stanley Creek, Idaho
Kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in a pool created by a tree trunk and its root wad. Like their marine cousins, the land-locked kokanee turn bright red when they migrate to streams and rivers to spawn. After the juvenile salmon hatch in the spring, they will migrate down the stream and live and grow 2-4 years in a downstream lake before returning to their natal stream to spawn.

been reading on some of the things ya'll have been building. 1) i'm learning 2)trying to convince myself its ok to hack up perfectly good parts 3) based on what i've read, it really is ok to f'up said parts. 4) this place is outstanding
in a nutshell i got this bug/disease/psychosis after doing 3 saiga conversions. for my first magic trick i will be attempting an x25 blowback build. today i got lucky and was given 2 bent flats by a friend that is an AR guy and has "no use" for ak parts. i am delighted because i do not need to bend the 4 flats i have right now.
so after 8 months of searching, reading and asking typical noob questions, i am ready to actually start putting parts together. this will not happen overnite. i have a wife who has her own ideas on how my free time is allocated (honey do's). better yet i read in an ancient thread here (trx iirc) taking you time is better than rushing.
my camera battery is charging. i will start some pix tomorrow. i am sure i will get stuck and need some answers. so big thanks in advance!


text: I have a chance to get a chrome grille tomorrow, locally. It came out of an '08 silverado. Havent a clue if it was 2x4, 4x4 or LS, LT, or LTZ. My truck is a 2010 4x4 crew LT. The grill looks the same (only chrome) in comparison to mine, just want to make sure it will fit before I drive 30 minutes in rush hour traffic. Thanks in advance.


text: Despite extensive searching and lots of hours reading posts I have yet to find a list of common problem for the 1999 Suburban. Or at least the 96-99 Burbs with the Vortec 350. Basically the only common problem that I have seen mentioned is the intake gasket. Surely there is more than just the intake gasket that seems to fail on these Burbs. I read on consumerguideauto.com that the intakes were a problem thru 1998. Below is the excerpt from their site: Oil leak: Oil loss and fouled spark plugs result from intake manifold gasket leaks. (1996-98) Did they fix the intake problem on the 99 models or is it the same as on the previous years? Also, could anyone list for me other common problems associated with these models (96-99)? Thanks in advance!

|Route Climbed: Hörnli-Ridge Date Climbed: August 8th, 2003
|I climbed Matterhorn free soloing via Hörnli-Ridge.
This was the fist part of what my new friends, whom I got to know in my "basecamp" on the great camping ground in Randa-Attermenzen during my 4 weeks, which I stayed there, called my "Trilogy". Originally, it was not planned at all. It just happened: the solo climbs of Matterhorn, Zinalrothorn and Weisshorn.
There was a lot of rockfall on this ridge, especially in the evening, 10 minutes, a big avalanche of rocks fell down ....
Some days before, a german climber got killed on Lion-Ridge due to rockfall.
This year is not a good year in order to climb Matterhorn.
Besides me, about 50 other people climbed Matterhorn via Hörnli-Ridge on this day. Therefore I did not really feel, as if I climbed it free soloing.

|I left with my guide, Andrew, at 0400. We reached the summit at 0800. The weather was overcast and on the descent we had thunder, lightning and hail. Five minutes after we reached the Hornlihutte it poured ice and rain. It was lucky timing. The route barely had any ice on it. We wore crampons for only a small portion and some parties didn't even put crampons on. It's basically a very long scramble with great protection in the steeper spots. The route finding is very difficult. Some guides had summitted four times and still needed a little guidance from the senior guys. KNOW THE ROUTE IF YOU GO IT ALONE.

|Left the Hornli Hut about 5am with Swiss Guide "Tommy". Conditions were perfect, reached the Solvay Hut about 8am without any real difficulties, had a drink and a quick bite to eat before setting off again. Apart from being too warm everything went fine to the Shoulder - then my Crampons went tumbling down the Mountain, good old Tommy went after them (I belayed him) they had lodged behind a rock not too far down. Set off again, Crampons intact for the Summit. Climbed the fixed ropes ok, we hit the Summit about 10am. Not bad for someone who had never done any rope climbing in their life. Although I did get some experience on an indoor rock wall first. So 5 hours to the top, 20 minutes rest stop for food, drink and photos, then we headed slowly down which took 4 hours (we abseiled quite a bit) we were having a beer in the Hornli Hut just after 2pm. Without a doubt my very best day out. Oh! would I do it again, are you joking, you bet I would. Fantastic!

|"Climbed with one other guy, no guide. Left crowded Hornli Hut with mad rush at 0500, route finding was easy because of the number of people, would be a nightmare if it wasn't for that. The climb was fun, particularly the last third. We reached the summit at 0940 (4hrs and 40 mins)
Spent 20mins at the top and then we descended in 5hrs15mins. Descent was the most nerve-racking part and route finding was a little tricky for the bottom third.
It is a serious peak despite the lack of technical difficulty, any mistake becomes very serious because of the steepness of the mountain and because people tend to move together (rather than pitching it) for speed. 4 people died the week before we climbed and we saw a nasty accident that was not fatal.
Prepare well (fitness, acclimatisation, and tecnical competence) good luck!"

Took it slowly and carefully up and down and made it without incident. Reached the top between the guided groups and the slower groups, so we actually had the Swiss summit to ourselves for about 20 minutes.

|Never in my life have I been so frustrated, frightened and exhilirated all at one time. I was lucky enough to have absolutely perfect conditions. Clear skies with a full moon at the start which helped the route finding at the start, almost no wind and only about 50 or so people on the whole mountain.

|I found my partner on Internet as he attended the summit already twice in the past while I didn't know anything about Matterhorn. We found excellent conditions and reach the summit in 4h 30 from Carrel hutte. Great ascension, too much crowded probably. But we are talking of Matterhorn!

|Route Climbed: Hoernligrat Date Climbed: 7. August. 2001.
|We reached the summit at 17.15 due to great crowd and some tehnical problems. In a descend could not find a roue at 4100 m and bivouaced the night on a ledge. It started to snow during the night, at 6 we started to descend toward Solvay bivouac, reached at 8.00 (there were 10 of us abseiling, because some tried for the top). Stayed the day in a Solvay because was exorsted from the bivouac, next day it was 20 cm of fresh snow, and very soon visibility was les then 30 m and constantly snowing. Waited at 3800 for 2 h for fog to partialy clear up, but in the following descent went into E face, have to climb for 100 m again to Belvedere and reached it at 17.30. At that moment were able to see Hoernli hut, but it eould be impossible to reach it in remaining daylight so we built snowall (it was enough of it) to close a small niche and spent another night bivouacking. Morning was flowless, but it was 50 cm of fresh snow and awalanches ware already pouring on the E face, and we opted for evacuation by helicopter.

|Not technically hard, but it defeated me on my first attempt in 1997. Be in great condition and spend a week in advance doing other 4000M climbs. It's as consistently hard coming down as going up. Rock climbing experience is needed. An indoor wall might suffice if that is your only option. Practice on a fixed rope as this technique is essential above the shoulder. On the day, carb up big and take plenty of drink. With this preparation, a friendly guide (there are too many false routes) and a head for heights, you will have a decent chance of making the summit. The objective dangers are unrelenting and the scale is bigger than you might imagine, but all the holds are there. It's as mentally hard as it is a physical challenge. An intense 10 hours in my life, six up and four down. You will never regret the experience. Stress on your job will never seem as bad again. Disappointed my partner Diane Baldwin (Blackburn,UK) was not with me on the summit. If you're thinking of climbing the Matterhorn and have questions, feel free to email me. Good luck, Bill Hood

|Route Climbed: Horni Ridge Date Climbed: June 30th 2001
|Being one who has climbed Assiniboine and other Canadian Rockies I can assure you that mountain no matter how Picture Perfect is a skree heap. Well at least for the parts that weren't covered in 3 meters of snow.
I was in Zermatt from June 22 to July 1 and depending on whom you talk to it is either the best skiing in 20 years or the worst climbing in 30. There was and most likely still will be winter snow levels on the mountain at least till the end of July. The Guides are not even considering taking anyone up the Matterhorn until the 25th and even then they offer no guarantees.
This time of year the snow is of very poor quality. It is very hot during the day 15-25c at 4000m and warm at night 1 to –6. I managed to get most of the way up to the second hut but had to turn back simply because I was sinking down through 20-30cn of powder and occasionally through the crust underneath. Once or twice past waist level right up to my chest. Even of good pair of bear-paw or Algonquin's (Canadian snowshoes) wouldn't have helped much.
I am not disappointed at all after all the mountain is not going anywhere so I can always go back.
My start day was June 30th and as far as I know I was the only climber on the mount. I started at Hotel Schwarzsee (the Hörnli Hut was closed and still may be for a little while as of the 5th only the winter hut was open) at 2.30 am weather was fine but it wind (30-50kph) picked up early at about 6am.
The famed lower route that everyone can't seem to find was no real problem since by the time I got to the Hörnli Hut at 4 am the sun was already up and there was a well defined snow trail leading up. The route time to the second hut should be about 3 to 4 hours at most in summer less in winter but by around 8.30 am I was still not there. I went on for one more hour and got to a snowfield that lead up to it. Perhaps 100 meters below. The field was undisturbed powder snow about 45cm deep with some curst but mainly rocks underneath. This is were I decided to call it in and turn around. Physically I was feeling fine but with the wind still strong and wispy clouds starting to come of the peak and it neighbors (never a good sign) it was the wise choice. Basically it just was getting too unsafe to climb alone and without a mobile phone on the mountain.
I did stop for lunch in an alcove out of the wind and was surprised how much stuff was coming of the mountain. You could hear a constant din of rock fall as the snow melted and let them go. You could see them as well falling just off route. The temp by the way was about 16c in the sun at well over 3900m very hot to say the least.
The trip down was rather fast as I hade a 300m 9mm rope to rap down on and there are lots of chains bolts etc about to hook up to. Near the bottom I even got in some boot skiing on some of the less exposed bits. I was at the Hörnli hut by about 4:30 pm and it was full of climbers (25-30 the winter hut holds 15) there to try to climb it the next day. Most who could speak English gave me the usual third degree about conditions and I happily gave them my opinions. I made it back to Schwarzsee in time for double helping of dinner (thanks Hans) and to pack as it was my last day. The next morning when I was off I had a good look at the peak and no one was at the snow field below the second hut by 10:00 am and the weather closed in again so I figured no one was getting up it that day.
All in all a good recce for my next trip in a year of two. From what I have heard the conditions have only worsened this year with three deaths just after I attempted to climb it. Hopefully the fall climbing will be better.

what is the smallest batch of mead that you can make (in terms of weight of honey)?
had to pull some upcapped honey it is pretty runny can it be used to make mead
what is the smallest batch of mead that you can make (in terms of weight of honey)?
in uncapped "honey" means the moister content was not low enough that the bees wanted to cap it. would it shake out of the comb? you have to be a little careful, because there may be enough water content to start it's own fermentation from wild yeast. it you think it has enough sugar content to use, i would suggest heating your must to kill off unknown or undesirable organisms
"Any fool can learn, the trick is to understand - Einstein"
A hydrometer is six or seven bucks. The specific gravity of the must is what you go by. One would just add less water to achieve that number desired for the recipe you are using. It would work fine. If you are just going to throw stuff in a bucket and add yeast, the medieval recipe was add honey to water til it will 'swimm an egge' That is another way of obtaining an idea of specific gravity. Libraries are full of books. The internet is full of recipes and forums. I am learning these same things now myself as I want to make a couple batches just so I can add it to my resume.
Gary Reuter from the U of M gave a demo at our Polk-Burnett beekeeper meeting last spring.
This is a simple, basic start to build mead, taste was very good I may add.
He stated that many failed mead attempts are because the honey was spoiled before fermentation.
(good honey = possible good tasting mead, bad honey = bad mead)
I ordered Fermaid K and Red Star Cote des Blances so as to duplicate his recipe and
have on hand. Extracted a couple of supers this week that we largely uncapped and light, going to give it a try.
This link to .pdf gives the basic start up:
I suggest using vodka or everclear in your fermentation lock. Safer from contamination, as the water goes bad in the lock. I change out the lock again with fresh when racking.
Thank You Gary Reuter

Runny honey ( I read this as high moisture unripe in the hive) could be ideal for controlled fermentation. Much easier than bottling it and allowing it to ferment uncontrolled.
You can use the smallest amount of honey you can imagine to make a just slightly larger batch of mead.
Gary Reuters old web page link: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~reute001/Mead.html
The old .pdf link in my earlier post no longer works.
Starting a batch soon, shaking the comb for a moisture test isn't enough.
This batch was mostly uncapped, taken early in the AM and not shaking out.
Tested 19-20% so I heated it to 140F, stirred several times and bottled.
That should save it but wrecks the enzymes, to be double sure going to build a batch of mead.
Saves it in a different manner....LOL

Runny honey is fine for making mead, but as stated above, use a hydrometer to make sure you have enough sugar in there to get the alcohol content you expect.

Dear All,
I am building a new TBH this winter and would like to get some kind of consensus of whether it is helpful and worth the effort to put a screened bottom board on my new TBH? And if I do put one on, is it important that there be a hinged board underneath for cleaning. And the last question, if I don't put a screen on the bottom, can or should I just have a bottom that is screwed on and have no access for cleaning? Or should I still have a hinged bottom for cleaning out?
Lots of questions, but I felt it's better to get the answers prior to building than regretting something later.

New research from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai reveals long-term cocaine abuse may be associated with deficits in parts of the brain involved in monitoring and overseeing one's own behavior. The findings call into question the long-held clinical assumption that addicted individuals continue their compulsive drug use because of oppositional denial or lying, or because of careless minimization of their problems. The findings are published online Nov. 20 in the journal JAMA Psychiatry.
Using functional and structural MR imaging procedures, investigators were able to visualize abnormalities in error responding and gray matter integrity in the part of the brain known as the anterior cingulate cortex, which controls many cognitive functions, including recognizing and responding to mistakes. Researchers sorted the addicted individuals by self-awareness, based on whether they were able to provide accurate reports of their own choice behavior and through a written questionnaire that assessed emotional functioning. Results were compared against healthy controls and cocaine-addicted individuals who did not have these self-awareness deficits.
"Quantifiable functional and structural abnormalities in the brain were easy to see in the MRIs of cocaine-addicted individuals with impaired self-awareness," said Rita Z. Goldstein, PhD, the study's senior author and Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "These deficits were prominent even when we compared this subgroup of individuals with other cocaine-addicted individuals whose self-awareness was intact." More precisely, the anterior cingulate cortex was morphologically smaller and responded abnormally to errors in the cocaine-addicted individuals with impaired self-awareness.
Scott J. Moeller, PhD, the lead author of the study, and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, pointed out that the findings could have important clinical implications. "Clearly, one-size-fits-all treatment options for drug addiction are not working effectively," he said. "The good news is that our findings suggest treatment options that might be especially useful for individuals with impaired self-awareness. For example, pre-therapy motivational interviews may help increase motivation to seek treatment in the first place. Once at the clinic, additional intervention for these individuals could include mindfulness therapies to cultivate self-awareness of substance use triggers and consequences." The goal of these therapies would be to help counteract the anterior cingulate abnormalities, improve self-awareness and self-control, and ultimately decrease problematic drug abuse.
Based on these findings, the researchers plan to develop new MRI paradigms to investigate different facets of self-awareness that they were unable to target in this study. They also plan to launch longitudinal and clinical studies to test how self-awareness relates to drug treatment outcomes. In the longer-term, the authors foresee expanding the idea to other psychiatric disorders, such as gambling and eating disorders, which like drug addiction have not been traditionally linked with self-awareness limitations.

Certainly no surprise there. Sometimes the People Choose a Really, Really Good Thing When They See One.
Hey Fans,
Thanks for your interest in the Cancelled TV Shows poll results! Since it was a poll, and not an actual voting category, that's why it wasn't announced at the show. But we did ultimately post the results on our site for all those who were interested. If you haven't been able to find it yet, here's the link: http://www.pcavote.com/pca/show/nominees (scroll to the bottom) Thanks!
ok SC, how did you find out???? where is the results?
YEA!!! My Own Worst Enemy did win!!! We knew it had to be the winner!
iam mamadou b diakite searching technology science
I just sent in another question with "contact us". I was nice again this time… if I don' t hear back, maybe they only respond to mean people. The question was for the canceled show poll… All of the people speaking up seem to want My Own Worst Enemy to win! i want them to announce it.
Well, you can tell know one at the PCA's reads this… Obviously by the disappointed responses, the only people responding to the canceled show category was for MY OWN WORST ENEMY. Something sneaky is going on that NBC doesn't want talked about… let's see, they canceled a brilliant show that was up against the NFL and CSI, yet still pulled in a pretty good ratings, they also were obviously not looking at the DVR#'s because MY OWN WORST ENEMY WAS #7 on the list, and now PCA has just decided to not release the winner… I smell something fishy!!! NBC is to blame!!!!
In the category for cancelled show most deserving who won?
did not hear any announcement.
wanted MY OWN WORST ENEMY TO WIN
why would you have us vote for this category and not tell us who the winner is?
I wanted MY OWN WORST ENEMY to take it on the SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CANCELLED CATEGORY! What happened!
of course!!!! actually…i was surprised, even though i L-O-V-E love love love! the dark knight, but PEOPLE have bad taste….rascal flats….WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!!
but yay!!! the dark kinight, christian bail seemed saddd:( i was too
still awaiting the result for the" cancelled show most deserving " It was not mention on the air. lots of people voted in this category and no results was given or even mention at all this is not good business.
I was hoping that the show "my own worst enemy" would win
and still don't know if it did or not ,like i say
this is not good business at all.
what the hell happened to the "cancelled show deserving second chance" poll!! where the hell is that! why have the people vote on this category and not give results! we want answers! i voted for My own worst enemy! this show Rocked!!!!1
I just sent a question into the "contact us" for help on the Canceled show problem. If you want to do the same look to the bottom of the page… if is "FAQs & Contact Us"
I will let you know if I hear anything.
The goal of People's Choice Awards is to allow the audiance to express an opinion in regards to the entertainment industry. one of the categories was A Cancelled Show that Deserved a Second Chance. I voted faithfully for 32 months for my favorite show. The results were not announced on the show or posted on the website. What happened?
voted on a daily basis for the show cancelled and deserve a 2nd chance" my own worst enemy "was among them and this field was not even mention with the rest of the awards
or displayed anywhere. can you tell me who won?
will not be voting next year till i get a answer this year!!
@ Anisa: I feel ya. I voted every day with the hopes that Iron Man or Downey Jr would bring home some well-deserved accolades from the people. But instead, they went to the drunk super"hero" whose movie is one of the worst of last year. Plus The Secret Life of Bees for best drama? I mean, did anybody actually watch that one…?
I won't be wasting my time again as my voice was clearly not heard… Guess there's no accounting for taste, right?
wy does veryone keep saying Dark Knight was Heath's last movie? it was not he 1/2way finished one other movie after the taping was done with Dark Knight and many of Heath's friends filled in the gaps after Heath's death. Dark Knight was his 2nd to last movie. 😉
BOO to People's Choice Awards. I voted every day for My Own Worst Enemy to win "Canceled shows that deserve a second chance". They didn't even announce the winner. I watched the show last night and checked the paper this morning to find out the results. NOTHING!!!
I won't watch or vote next year. Thanks for nothing!!!!
hunter512 I agree… I want to find out…
The dark knight deserved to win all the awards and it did. It had an amazing cast and crew, the movie kicks some serious butt!!! My favorite movie of all time no doubt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christian bale, Heath Ledger, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart and of course Gary oldman are my favorite actors!!!!!!!! Also Christopher Nolan is the best director ever!!!!!!!!
Would like to know if "My Own Worst Enemy "won for cancell show deserving a 2nd chance?
it was not announce was this overlook? so who won this in field? Is there any way we could find out please.
I was VERY appreciative of the fact that the Dark Knight won and deservedly so.
The People did choose what they thought was a GREAT movie and cast and I feel good knowing as a huge fan of this movie it got the recognition it was suppose to.
Chrisian Bale, Aaron Eckhart and Christopher Nolan were very honerable in appearing and accepting the awards. Christian was right in recognizing Heath Ledger. Without Heath, it wouldn't have been the same.
If only the other awards shows would understand how people like movies and not just pick and choose certain critics to pick movies that come out at the END of the year. I am still floored that the Golden Globes only took recognition of the Dark Knight for just Heath Ledger………it deserved way MORE than that.
Thank You People's Choice for understanding and seeing what people truly loved…….Thank You.
Go Dark Knight – You certainly will never be forgotten with our family!!!
Lianne and Clan
Yes, I just notice I spelled Christain "Bales" name wrong in my previous post…LOL. OOPS! LOL
I was babysitting last night for my best friend and I only caught the last 10 minutes of the show…omg, I'm so glad I caught the end of the show. Mr. Bail was so classy in his speech and at the end when he raised the award and said "this is for Heath", I got a tear in my eye. This movie was an incredible movie…all the cast shined, and unfortunately, this was Heath's last role…and my personal favorite role he was ever in. The moment last night touched me. 🙂
Oh i'm so glad the dark knight won it is so good and Christian Bale was great in saying what he did,they all deserve awards and got them it's about time,they where and are all amazing at what they do and hope they get the awards they deserve in the years to come 🙂 WE ARE STILL PRAYING
finally the dark knight gets what it deserves.. the best movie of 2008 by FAR. the entire cast deserves an award
i just wish that stephen moyer who plays as the sexy vampire charater bill compton would be at the peoples choice awards he should win as the best actor & for the best charater in the tv series HBO true blood i love this charater he's my favorate sexy charater.
That's such a good photo of Queen Latifa handing the trophy over to Christian Bale. So touching and moving.. was just looking at it again. 🙂 He looked like he was going to cry.
Again.. a well deserved win. Go Heath Ledger. They should have had another tribute of him after that. Think this was the last time we'll see The Dark Night up for an award.
I wish he won the best male actor!!! He to me and my children was the best actor last year…. All the great Movies he has done he has made us laugh and cry. He is missed
Thank you all out there
I don't think I have ever seen a movie where the bad guy steals every scene. I watched it again today and am still blown away with Heath's capability to make the Joker into a maniacal monster that you couldn't help but watch. I hope this movie goes down as one of the best of all times.
Godot, I really wanted to know whether My Own Worst Enemy won the Poll on the Canceled tv show that deserves a second chance… Am I missing it on the list?
The Dark Knight truly deserved all 5 awards. It is VERY sad that Heath wasn't here but in spirit to see what he really brought to this film, his co-workers and the fans that love and miss him. Christian Bale was very gracious to take that moment out to give praise to Heath. It was very easy to get caught up in the moment of 5 awards at once….but he did not. You could tell he was very sad and missing his friend. God Bless them all. They will nail the awards at the Golden Globes also. Matilda you are a lucky little girl to have Heath as your Dad 4-ever in your heart.
I truly loved the movie the Dark Knight,I'm glad they won, however I don't think they gave Heath Ledger enough praise, his role as the joker is what made the movie, his role was as well played as Christian Bale as Batman, The two actors complemented each other, Heath will be missed.
Seconding what SC said. Though, Dr. Horrible /did/ win. It just wasn't announced… Which is rather depressing.
SC, you're not alone. I think it went way too fast! It was hard to keep up. I wish they would have shown more musical performances, or something.. too much editing and timing cuts. Like with the whole makeover thing! lol
What about the Show Deserving a second chance?!?!!! I am pretty irritated that I watched that whole thing and didn't see one of the main things i was voting for!!!! I am disappointed in that. If this is what can be expected, adding then just dropping something we've been voting on for weeks, then…
Go The Dark Night!! A well deserved win!! Awesome cast and story line!! Was such a sad, but good movie.
Way to go Christian Bale and Heath Ledger!!
Heath you are truly missed. May God bless you.
I'm so glad Christian, Aaron, and Christopher were there to accept. I really think it's one of the best movies ever made. Right now, it's just thought of as popular, but time will tell. Congratulations to everyone who worked on it. And thanks People's Choice Awards for letting the fans have a say. 😀
Heath has been great in everything he has done. Dark Knight was good but not great.
I knew Dark Night would take a whole bunch of awards
Best movie of the year..it will be hard to beat it
RIP Heath
I figured it would win, more as a tribute to Heath Ledger if nothing else.
hmm, didn't like it that much it was over acted by ledger and bale, gary oldman on the other side was brilliant. I've seen better super hero movies
Wow I love everyone that was in the movie!! Great JOB
What about the online categories? I want to know if Dr. Horrible won…
*sniff*I knew the Dark Knight would win & Heath is watching over them *sniff*
The dark night is the beeest!!!!!!!! Im so glad this movie won… too bad heath ledger isn't there:( he was the best actor ever!!!
My God, Heath Ledger was sooooo good.
I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it. It's so sad that it is Heath's last film. What a great actor.

I do know, however, that they operate under market forces (unfortunately, federal involvement in agriculture greatly distorts true price structure). It may be that, under current price conditions for all facets of production and distribution, it is more efficient to engage in the current mode of import/export and nationwide shipping than otherwise. Were these conditions to change, production would adjust accordingly.
One must also recognize that our current cornucopia of food is the result of consumer demand. If consumers, like most of my customers, want locally-grown, seasonal produce, then that is what they will get. Currently, consumers demand nearly all foods at all times of the year. So long as there is the capacity to do so, this is what agricultural producers will meet.
Trade benefits both nations. Bull.
And have never taken an economics class in your life.
Something is drastically wrong when it's cheaper to import an apple from China than grow it in Washington.
big picture,
And there is very good studies that show consumer demand doesn't drive our food production.
You're such a troll.
You really think I don't know trade benefits both nations.
You're the one with a severe comprehension problem if you can't see the angle I've argued.
Something is drastically wrong when it's cheaper to import an apple from China than grow it in Washington.
And this is where I walk away. A thousand face palms couldn't give this justice
You really think I don't know trade benefits both nations.
I'll take you at your word and say no. You seem to have come to a new understanding in the last 5 minutes.
You're the one with a severe comprehension problem if you can't see the angle I've argued.
You probably shouldn't say stupid shite if you don't mean it.
And a game is all it is, common sense and real benefits are thrown out the window.
When I said 'bull' after the sentence "trade benefits both nations" I was not meaning that economically there is no benefit. In the grand scheme it makes no sense to make ourselves reliant on apples from another continent and burn down the finest apples trees on earth right here in our backyard. "Bull" was my way of saying that I disagree with what you've determined as benefit. Pie charts and GDP are not at the center of my universe, common sense is.
Sir, not trying to be rude... but you're playing Go Fish and I'm playing Texas Holdem. One of the many frustrating things about these types of boards. Without writing a few chapters worth of information I don't know how else I'd even begin to respond.
And this is where I walk away. A thousand face palms couldn't give this justice
Perhaps you could elaborate, rather than deflect.
You think it makes sense to cut down apple trees in Washington and import them from China.
I am asking you why you think it is bad for such things to happen.
If you have to ask me why it's bad to remove apple trees in Washington in favor of importing apples them from China, then you don't deserve the time it would take to answer.
You think it makes sense to cut down apple trees in Washington and import them from China.
what if it's cheaper for consumers to import them from china? let's just assume that it is cheaper for this little response: why would it be a bad thing to import apples from china, in that instance?
And again, if you need to ask why it's a bad to cut down apple trees in Washington and import them from China, you don't deserve the time it would take to properly respond.
Yours is a GDP graph, mine is common sense.
Well if anyone has read On The Road they would have repeatedly heard a quote by the President from my fine state, "we must cut down the cost of living".
It's not so much about not buying so much, it's that the cost of living is too high.
We have a consumer based society, yet we have so many things in place that are more or less mandatory that take a large percentage of people spending money.
Most people have these obligations
Car payment
Car insurance
House/apartment payment
Cell phone
Those things listed above are pretty much necessary to be a 'normal' member of society. Yes cable is a luxury, but it's pretty standard to have cable or at least internet. That list is a hell of a chunk out of someone paycheck. A hell of a chunk.
Our food is coming from a national distribution system. The industry food/farm system makes everything more expensive.
Everything is just arse backwards. Fully explaining that comment would be pretty frustrating to try and communicate properly.
why not import the apples from china for a lower price and use the area in washington for a more productive endeavor?
seems like you get a double advantage that way
I shouldn't even proceed with this.. but oh well.
Something more productive.. like what? A factory? A mall?
Washington state is the finest place on earth to grow apples, and it's trees are being burned down and farms closed because it's cheaper to import them from China because of our bull laws in this country.

Colorado will continue on the road to recovery and add jobs in 2012 following a positive year in 2011, according to economist Richard Wobbekind of the University of Colorado Boulder's Leeds School of Business.
Wobbekind's announcement was part of the 47th annual Colorado Business Economic Outlook Forum presented Dec. 5 by CU-Boulder's Leeds School of Business.
Compiled by the Leeds School's Business Research Division, the comprehensive outlook for 2012 features forecasts and trends for 13 business sectors prepared by approximately 100 key business, government and industry professionals.
"In 2012 we're predicting slow but steady growth for Colorado, much like the U.S. economy," said Wobbekind, executive director of the Business Research Division. "We'll continue to add jobs in a wide array of sectors, but not at the dramatic rate that is necessary to significantly lower the unemployment rate."
Overall, the forecast calls for a gain of 23,000 jobs in 2012, compared with a gain of 27,500 jobs this year. Most sectors of the Colorado economy are predicted to grow in 2012, including the addition of 2,900 jobs in construction, marking the first positive job growth in that troubled sector in four years.
When comparing the Leeds' forecast to forecasts for other states, Colorado is expected to be in the top 10 states for job growth in 2012.
"The broader story here is Colorado entered the recession later, came out of the recession later and now appears to be accelerating past the rest of the country in terms of job growth and recovery," Wobbekind said.
Even with positive job growth predicted for the state, Wobbekind said uncertainty at numerous levels still clouds the economic picture in the state and nation.
"The theme of almost every national forecast is uncertainty," he said. "Every day there is a new event in Europe or a new event in Washington. So you continue to have all of these elements of uncertainty and they impact consumer confidence and household spending. That is something that is very hard to forecast or predict."
The strongest sector for projected job growth in Colorado in 2012 is the educational and health services sector. The sector is expected to add 7,500 jobs in 2012.
In addition, other leading growth sectors for 2012 include the professional and business services sector with 6,800 jobs added and leisure and hospitality with 3,800 added.
On the agriculture side, Colorado farmers and ranchers are coming off what is expected to be a record-setting year for net farm income. Colorado's agricultural producers benefited from unexpectedly strong market prices for livestock and crops in 2011, leading to an estimated record net farm income in the state of $1.7 billion. Historic drought in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas spared much of Colorado in 2011, leading to increased market prices for Colorado agricultural products.
"Mother Nature played a major part in this, and this year it played in our favor," Wobbekind said, adding that Colorado agriculturalists also are expected to do well in 2012.
The manufacturing sector, after adding jobs in 2011 for the first time since 2003, will return to a long-term downward trend and is forecast to lose 1,900 jobs. Two other sectors expected to lose jobs are information, forecast to shed 500 jobs, and financial activities, losing 1,000 jobs.
In 2011, Colorado consumers spent more on goods and services, with retail sales increasing 6.5 percent for the year. In 2012, retail sales are forecast to remain relatively strong with a gain of 4 percent.
"We view the consumer as coming back to the table," Wobbekind said. "Consumers have deferred a lot, including what we would call more necessary expenditures such as automobiles and other essential products that have been wearing out and need to be replaced."
With 2011 coming to a close, Wobbekind said Colorado's economy is ending the year on a positive note.
"We went into the year a little bit slow and then built up momentum for pretty much the entire year, and the last couple of months we've passed the national growth rate for jobs, and we'll end the year above the national growth rate for jobs," he said. "2011 was a decent year in which we added jobs in a fairly wide variety of sectors."
Colorado's unemployment rate for 2012 is expected to decrease from 8.7 percent at the end of 2011 to 8.4 percent, compared with a projected national unemployment rate of around 9 percent.
Colorado's population is projected to grow 1.5 percent, or 75,900 people, in 2012.

I have tried all sorts of ways over the years. My stash is too large to use any boards or such in it. I ruler fold it and then stack in cubies, shelves, and bin drawers. I can see what I have and all space is used.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have tried all sorts of ways over the years. My stash is too large to use any boards or such in it. I ruler fold it and then stack in cubies, shelves, and bin drawers. I can see what I have and all space is used.
Great job.....
I like being able to see what I have - just don't have the room to do it so mine is folded and in drawers. We just have to to what works for us!
I am a minimalist and would prefer to spend $ on fabric. My stash size varies a lot from nothing to maybe 20 yards. I just ruler fold mine. Easy, nice looking, fast, and no worries about too many or not enough comic book boards.
Please check some of the other threads on the subject of using cardboard,cereal boxes, etc to store fabric on or in. I believe you'll find alot of people have discouraged their use because of the strong possibility of the acid in the paper. They use corrigated plastic (available at sign shops or the comic book acid-free boards). When I started to do my fabric on the corrigated plastic, I just bought as I could afford. So it's an ongoing project but well worth it to know that my fabric will not discolor.Until then my fabric is folded using a 6"x24" ruler.
Something else you might want to keep in mind is trying to avoid storing your fabric where direct sunlight might hit it so as to avoid sunlight fading. I've had both these problems in the past-fading from sunlight & acidic cardboard which was the bolts the fabric came on that I didn't remove right away.
Experience is the best(or worse) teacher.
God never closes a door without opening a window.
Yeh! A creative use of trash.
Comic Boards, Comic Boards, Comic Boards! Large quantity packages (of 100?) at comic book store about $10.
There are a number of threads on the QB that have pictures and Tuts on setting it up. Here's one I started
SURVEY for COMIC BOARD users
(see the shelving units?)
I LOVE looking directly at all my fabric when I'm trying to use up my stash. When I first set everything up, I was not able to get all the fabric into 2 large shelving units and had a stack on the side. NOW that stack is included in the shelving units and there's wiggle room. That means I'm using my stash and IF I wanted to buy more fabric, I could without guilt because I have been using what I had and now I have room! Hahaha!
You'll love being organized.
Nan - Indiana
My GOAL is to ALWAYS ENJOY EVERY STEP of the quilting process....
Thanks for all the comments guys!! Just thought I'd post a couple more pictures of how I"ll be putting my crates. and I think I will take the ones that have cereal boxes and wrap them in plastic wrap but first check out these things I told you about that my sister gave me. In the picture they look incredibly dirty but they aren't. I couldn't figure out a good way to photograph them. And I either see Comic book boards in my future or corrugated plastic. But these are great to get me started. I will be moving in June. My husband is a Methodist Minister and we are getting moved this year. I will get to see our new house on Monday. Won't know what I'll have room for until after I see it. I might even have to downsize. :~{ Boo Hoo . I'll let you know next week.
Many Blessings
P.S. The Fur Baby in my profile picture is Merlin he is my Guardian Angel/ Service Dog. He is 4 years old and I have had him since he was 8 mos. old. We are pretty much velcroed together. He goes everywhere I do except church and some doctors appointments that may involve xrays or exams that may upset him. He even goes with me to church on bible studies just not Sunday morning. On the 28th of this month he will be making his second trip to Disney World. I don't know what I would do without him. He was truly a gift from God.
i to use the cardboard bolts from the fabric stores. i cut them to sizes that let me know at a glance how much fabric is on each bolt. 11 1/2 x 7 is 2 yds or more, 3 1/2 x 8 is up to 2yds and 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 are my fqs. if i have 4 or more yds i put it on the whole bolt from the fabric store. i enjoy the way it looks.


text: Hi everyone, new to this forum. Working on a family member's '02 Sonoma. 2.2 Liter motor (4 cyl). No start condition. Ran well (initially after long sit), father in law parked it in afternoon, and next morning (yay) no start. Has good spark, for good measure tried new plugs and wires. Has good fuel pressure and volume to fuel rail... considered that may have picked up trash at injectors... Then checked compression... 110 psi on #4 (firewall side). Cylinders 1,2,3 had ZERO compression (and yes checked multiple times and tried 2 different compression gauges wondering if shraeder valve was sticking)... Anyways, leak down test proved air blowing out intake and exhaust like crazy, no noticeable crankcase leaking (I assumed rings were still good considering well running 24 hours previous). So... tore cylinder head down. NOW THE QUESTION: the pushrods on the suspect cylinders 1,2,3 were pinned between the head and the rocker arms (not in their respective rocker arms' places. WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?? Please ote the coolant level was low (about 1 gallon). COuld the hydralic lifters have "frozen" causing the pushrods to get pinned?? The Cylinder head appears in okay condition, as well as the head gasket which I thought would be the culprit. Now the motor is torn down, please throw ANY ideas or comments my way, somewhat novice to these motors trying to brainstorm for causes, but more importantly any resulting damages and correct fix. The pushrods don't appear bent either, so replace all as precaution? I have new gasket set and reman-ed cylinder head in hand but don't want to throw it back together without proper fix. Thanks!!!

text: At a Cal State research lunchon a few years back, the program was about chemical residue in wax and it's effects on queens and drones. The research showed that chem residue caused queens to supersede and drones to shoot blanks. Some folks in the audience were refuting much of the data. It was suggested that queen producers ( lots of them in the audience ), should have their combs tested. Supersedure is a major problem now. Is there a link? I know for a fact that getting 100 bad queens sure ruins your day.

The Brand: Creative Recreation
Fed up with increasingly bland and divisive direction footwear was headed, three young men set out to fuse two seemingly separate worlds. In the Fall of 2012, Creative Recreation was born.
Yesterday we previewed shoes and sneakers for fall 2012 and while we stand by our many selections, one brand truly impressed us: Creative Recreation. Something about their innovative intention and design made us stand up and take notice. Whether it's their fusion of two seemingly separate worlds or simply their uncompromising approach and appeal, they've caught our attention and while we've got yours, we'd like to share with you their brand style and story.
Back in the fall of 2002, Creative Recreation's forefathers found themselves frustrated, fed up with the increasingly bland and divisive direction footwear was heading. Why, they asked, should casual comfort conflict with dapper dress? Why did the sophisticated have to be so closely associated with the stuffy? They saw in themselves a new type of consumer, a lifestyle consumer who didn't discern between the two worlds, who wanted a brand to be both comfortable and casual, relaxed but refined. What was born was Creative Recreation.
What happened was something not even they could have predicted but what they had unknowingly foretold. The lifestyle consumer they had modeled after themselves had been lying in wait; fashion began to take turns toward the casual upper class. Suits were suddenly being worn with sneakers. The t-shirt/blazer trend of the late 2000s took off. The market was literally millions strong, and better yet it was multifaceted: everyone from celebrities to the casual consumer sought the fusion found in, among others, Creative Recreation.
To this day, creativity and invention are still the driving forces behind the company. Few ideas are met with resistance as the founders have witnessed firsthand the power a concept can have on the consumer, how an idea with a little drive and determination can be a catalyst to not only carve out a piece of the market, but to create one out of thin air.
Featured above (from left to right):
The Classics, the backbone of Creative Recreation: Tucco Biscotti ($110), Ciro Lo in Grey Denim ($65) and Cortina Black ($120).
Low tops, where sneaker meets shoe: Cesario Lo Camo ($85), Kaplan Smoke ($60) and Tucco Vintage ($110).
High tops, because their badass: Cesario XVI Chocolate ($75), Vito Smoke ($85),and Solano Black Charcoal ($110).

MONROE COUNTY -- Sheriff's Sgt. Jake Brady, who ran against sheriff-elect and current Col. Rick Ramsay in the Republican primary last summer, is the target of a new internal affairs investigation and has been transferred away from the Marathon sector after 23 years on the post.
In addition, Brady was told by Marathon officials last week that he must leave his city-owned rental unit on Sombrero Beach Road by the end of February.
Meanwhile, Bill Grove, a Monroe County State Attorney's Office investigator who also ran against Ramsay in the Republican primary, has seen his access to the Sheriff's Office's investigative records system known as Smartcop revoked, also in the weeks after Ramsay's general election victory on Nov. 6.
Both Brady and Grove ran campaigns that were highly critical of Ramsay and the Sheriff's Office guard, accusing the agency of being a patronage network that values loyalty above all else.
Under state law, neither Brady nor Sheriff's Office officials can reveal the nature of the investigation that has been opened against him in recent weeks, but Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Becky Herrin did acknowledge that one is under way.
Sheriff Bob Peryam notified Brady in a Nov. 13 memorandum that he is to be transferred this week from the Marathon substation to a posting at Key West International Airport. The transfer didn't come with a pay cut or a demotion in rank, and Peryam called it an "equivalent position" in that Nov. 13 memo.
But Brady, who also works a second job at the American Airlines office at Key West airport, said he views things differently in an interview last week.
"There was no reason I was given," he said of the transfer. "Usually when you get transferred down to the airport it's for disciplinary reasons. That's the boneyard."
Both Peryam and Ramsay, who were out of town late last week, declined interviews with the Free Press and instead referred questions to Herrin. She too declined a phone interview, but did agree to take questions via email about the actions regarding Brady and Grove. The transfer of Brady, she said, had nothing to do with the recent election. But she didn't provide any clarity on the reason behind the transfer.
"Sheriff Peryam made the decision to transfer Sgt. Brady to an equivalent position at the Key West Airport," Herrin wrote in response to a direct question about the matter.
Marathon officials were more elaborative in explaining at a Nov. 27 council meeting why they planned to remove Brady from the Sombrero Beach home.
The three-bedroom unit was made available to Brady for $500 a month when he moved in a decade ago under a program intended to assist the sheriff's Marathon sector by providing low-cost housing to officers.
"He's approaching 10 years at a rate that was established in 2003 when he was a junior officer and had the lower incoming type of salary," Marathon City Manager Roger Hernstadt said in a Free Press interview last week. "He's gotten a lot of raises over the past several years. It's time to give somebody else the benefit."
Sheriff's Office records show that Brady's salary has increased from $47,300 in early 2003 to $73,200 now.
Still, Brady said the timing of the city's decision, coming soon after the general election, makes him wonder.
"In my opinion, this is what happens when a commoner stands up against the wealthy and well-connected," he said.
He said he wasn't even informed by the city of the decision before he read about it in the newspaper. Furthermore, he said that Hernstandt and the council neglected to mention at the public meeting that, in addition to paying rent as a tenant of the Sombrero Beach property, Brady is required to open and close the public beach area every day of the year. The work takes two hours daily and accounts for much of the difference between Brady's rent and the market rate, he said.
Marathon, Brady noted, is Ramsay's home base, though he stopped short of saying he believes the presence of the sheriff-elect's father, Dick Ramsay, on the City Council was a factor in his removal from the home.
Hernstadt said it was he who brought the matter forward after noticing it in a year-end review of city affairs, and not Ramsay or another council member.
"It was not political," Hernstadt said.
Grove, meanwhile, is unabashed in saying that the Sheriff's Office decision to end his access to Smartcop last month was political.
"This is only the latest attempt after the election by the Sheriff's Office to retaliate against me for running," Grove said.
Smartcop is the system that investigators use to view incidents reports, research the criminal history of suspects and to obtain contact information for victims and witnesses.
The denial of access to Grove likely won't have much practical effect on his work output. State Attorney-elect Catherine Vogel has informed Grove that she won't retain him when she enters office next month, he said, and he doesn't expect to start any new investigations in the meantime.
The Sheriff's Office deemed it a necessary security matter, Herrin wrote in last week's email.
"The Sheriff's Office was no longer confident in Mr. Grove's honesty and integrity," she wrote. "It is imperative for our office to be confident in the integrity of everyone who has access to our secure computer system."
Herrin didn't respond when questioned whether the denial of access had anything to do with Grove's run for office.
Grove, in response, said he has never used Smartcop for any purpose other than State Attorney's Office business while at the office.
He dismissed the Sheriff's Office allegation as a retaliatory character attack.
"I have concerns about the honestly and integrity of the leadership of the Sheriff's Office," he said.
Though Brady and Grove have experienced difficulties in the days after the election, the scenario has been different for Deputy Matt Koval, who ran his own anti-administration campaign in a losing Democratic primary effort against Tom Peteck.
Koval was the subject of two Internal Affairs cases during the campaign, but he said he's been free of any issues in its aftermath.
"Nothing has changed for me," he said last week. "I hope it stays that way."

Caterham Engine or Cooling System Problems? Find a great local specialist.
nice guys and very professional service, I will definitely use them again
Great service by these guys, would definitely recommend. Professionally done, reasonably priced and in a timely manner. I sourced the parts for the, clutch, flywheel and starter motor, they did the rest and provided the sundries. Car worked on: Ford S-Max 2.0 tdci 2007. Cheers guys.
Great service and work Done well and on time will use again
Great service and work Done well and on time will use again
I needed my Cam Belt changing after being let down and it needed doing like yesterday. Kens garage quoted me £250 and considering I was desperate I accepted. I provided the parts and they picked up my car. Once there I got the call that my discs and pads were really really shot and was quoting another £250. Although expensive, I had no choice but to accept it ( not because I was forced to, far from it, it was for safety). They promised to have the car back to me within 24 hrs and I was disappointed that they arrived 1 minute late! Overall I'm more than happy. They helped me out greatly and had the car back to me as promised. Slightly expensive, but they did collect and drop off the car to my door. Great comms throughout and a very friendly guy to deal with. Would definitely use again without hesitation.
Without a shadow of doubt from start to finish perfect As a 1st time customer the communication was perfect car was picked up on time perfect communication through out the day with updates car dropped off earlier looking like it came out of a show room. Told me exactly what was wrong and what the recommendations are really felt at ease Perfect gentleman All I can say is a big big thank you and will see you again soon 10 stars all the way highly recommend
Price was higher, due to my own fault asking for timing belt instead of timing chain. excellent service and great communication, highly recommended.
Qùock and excellent service
Good communication, completed the work in the deadline that I asked for, at a very competitive and reasonable price, compared to other garages. During out of office hours they were communicating. I posted the job on a friday or saturday and wasn't expecting any communication till the monday so that was great. I was really really pleased, I would definately recommend this garage!
Fast, efficient and polite, as well as reasonably priced. I would certainly recommend this garage. I had work done on my car for a fraction of the price quoted by other mainstream garages.
fantastic job
Good hourly rate, professional service, done on time and advised on other issues on the car.
Tyremark provided a great service and competative price to install and new clutch into my Renault Scenic. They completed the work on time and to budget and provided great communication. I would use them again for other work.
quick and very helpful advice
Very pleased with the work carried out, would definitely use again.
Absolutely brilliant, first class service, very knowledgeable mechanic and great polite guy. Really pleased good competitve price and if your looking for a mechanic mark is excellent. Regards Peter
Mark was very efficient and very friendly. I would use him again, and would recommend him.
Very pleased with Mark's work - on time and kept to the price quotes which was very reasonable. Will use again!
Hi was a very nice bloke shame my wife had a car acerdent great price
Would definitely use again and recommend to others!
Work carried out after hours and serviced the car also.Good honest prices and yes I would return in the future.All work done at my request .independent so give them a go.
Excellent customer service, great job, my car looks as good as new...
Guys were really helpful. fixed my head gasket but I had another minor problem which they fixed for a further £60.00. They picked my car up & returned it to me.. Kept me updated on progress etc and advised on the additional work needed
Job was to fit brakes discs and pads. I was suprised at how low the cost was compared to other quotes i recieved from other garages. These guys go well out their way to help you i accepted the quote at 5pm -ish they managed to fit me in for 7pm the following day. A hour later job done. i also over ordered on items which i had no clue about and was given them back still in a sealed box and told to get a refund. easy conversations... honest guys. Would reccomend these guys to all my pals and anyone who needs help with cars. If i could give more stars i would. Its what i call the perfect sevice.
Very poor job done. I asked them to investigate wiring issue and to look for damaged wiring ect. They barely looked at the car. They plugged the car in and told me it couldn't read the ecu!!! Well that's the exact reason it was down with you!! They told me possibly a whole wiring loom at the cost of hundreds. Turned out after having a second opinion it was just a broken wire and was fixed easily. These people give mechanics a bad name! I would not recommend this garage this website won't let me unstuck the box!!!!!!
very disappointed! they fixed my car in May, I paid over £ 1000 for that. I paid them very quickly. one month later i received a parking notice, £ 80 to be paid because they didn't pay for the parking ticket. I called the garage and was told to pay for it and forward them the notice in order to be refunded. so i did it. I never received this money!!! I've been calling them every week, they said they transferred the money last week, but still no money in my account. I called them yesterday (today is the 28th August) and they said they were calling me back, of course this didn't happen. I find it ridicolous, I paid over 1000 pounds in 2 days and now I've been chasing them for £ 80, after 2 months they are still not refunding me. no reply to my emails, no calls back as promised, no money. will never and ever go back to them to fix my car.
Garage did exactly what I asked of them Very convenient timing and easy access to leave vehicle at a time that suited me Would come back and would recommend
A professional and quick service would 100% recommend this garage!
Service completed. recommended some other work that needed to be done, but not immediately mandatory.


text: I would like to know your experience with the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs. I was comparing the packages of the Silverstars and the standard Sylvania bulbs, and they both have the same wattage. If you look on the package you can see this. So, how can the Silverstars be brighter? I do not see any difference`s between the bulbs either. As a Electrician, my logic tells me that bulbs of the same type and wattage put out the same lumens. (brightness) Only when the wattage of the bulb increases can you get a brighter bulb. The color spectrum does not change the lumens either. It just may appear brighter. I passed on the Silverstars and bought the standard Sylvania`s.

Here is an example of how the fee cut would affect payment for a service with a Medicare fee schedule amount of $100:
80% of $95 ($76) paid by Medicare to patient + 20% of $95 ($19) paid by patient + $14.25 balance bill paid by patient
80% of $95 - 2% cut ($74.48) paid by Medicare to patient + 20% of $95 ($19) + $15.77 balance bill paid by patient
Total Payment After April 1
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I pass on the 2-percent cut to my patients and collect it from them?A: No.
Q: When will the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) post an updated 2013 fee schedule based on the 2-percent cut?A: CMS will not post an updated 2013 fee schedule. The fee schedule you use for 2013 will remain the same.
Q: Will CMS apply the fee reduction to claims processed starting April 1? What if I have a claim from March that hasn't been paid yet?A: CMS will apply the cut to claims with a date of service of April 1or later. CMS will pay claims from January through March at the posted fee schedule amount without a 2-percent reduction.
Q: Will this cut also impact my payment from Medicare Advantage plans?A: Possibly. It depends on your contract. If you are out of network with a plan and it pays claims based on the 2013 Medicare Fee Schedule, you will see the 2-percent cut reflected in your payment.
Q: If I'm a Medicare-enrolled physician who is non-par and doesn't accept assignment, do I need to calculate the 2-percent cut off what I collect from the patient?A: No. You will continue collecting the same amount as you did before. Your patients will see the cut taken on the amount Medicare reimburses them, thus you may receive questions from them.
Q: Will CMS hold claims like it does when the fee schedule undergoes changes?A: No.
Q: How is the 2-percent reduction identified on the electronic remittance advice (ERA) and the standard paper remittance (SPR)? A: The Claim Adjustment Reason Code (CARC) 223 is used to report the sequestration reduction on the ERA and SPR.
Q: What is the verbiage for CARC 223? A: "Adjustment code for mandated federal, state, or local law/regulation that is not already covered by another code and is mandated before a new code can be created."

Flu shot season is here
It's that time of year again -- flu shots are on sale at locations all across the Tri-Cities.
However, doctors say the flu season typically does not peak in our region until after the first of the year, so is it too early to get a flu shot?
We checked with the regional health department to find out what the health leaders there say we should all do.
'Tis the season for flu shots, but it's not flu season just yet. With retailers across the Tri-Cities lobbying to sell you a flu shot, we wanted to find out when is the right time.
We met with Dr. David Kirschke, the medical director for the regional health office in Johnson City, to wade through the advertising hype. "The thing is flu season starts in October, so we could have a really early flu season," he said.
Dr. Kirschke says now is the time to get vaccinated against influenza.
The CDC recommends every receive their flu shot by the end of September to give the vaccine enough time to work in your body.
The same rule applies if you choose the flu shot or the flu mist. "The CDC really doesn't recommend one vaccine over the other," Dr. Kirschke said. "The most important thing is just getting vaccinated."
There are some new options out there this year. We learned the flu mist is designed to protect against four strains of the flu, while the shot is formulated to protect against three.
Health officials say more research is needed to determine if the additional protection helps.
A new flu shot is also available this year for those who are allergic to eggs. Experts say to check with your doctor for availability.
And as for the question, does the flu shot give you the flu? "The flu shot is totally inactivated, there is no live virus in it so it can't give you the flu," Dr. Kirschke explained.
But it's also not 100 percent effective at preventing it. "We think if you do get influenza and you've had the shot, at least it would have been more mild that it would have been," Dr. Kirschke said.
Also new this year: the regional health department will be offering flu shots in all schools across eight Northeast Tennessee counties. Parents should watch for flyers from their child's school.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends every one six months of age and older should get a flu vaccination. Some children who have not been vaccinated in the past may need to have two shots.
Health officials say the vaccine is good for about a year.

It is a very complicated build.
What is a 2XTM?
The first conversion that we know of an AK47 to 9mm that takes Suomi drums was made by a gun builder in Vermont. On various forums he is known as Doubletapme. This is where the model name 2XTM comes from. He may not have been the first to do this but he is the one that inspired us to build one and start manufacturing Mag Wells.
In summary, the basic 2XTM conversion involves changing the AK action from a locked bolt gas operated to an unlocked blow back action. Changing the barrel to 9mm and installing a mag well to hold the Suomi drum. This is a conversion that can be done by experienced gun builders with a creative spirit and solid knowledge base. Here is a video;

I've seen in several magazines where people have successfully fired a small home built wood fired kilns out of used old kilns. I have an old thin Skutt that no longer works that I thought I would insulate with 1" fiber on the inside and after a single fire, coat with ITC and see what happens. I figured a used large wood stove would suffice for a fire box. I'm just trying to decide if I should set the round kiln up as a down draft, cross draft or updraft kiln. (my neighbors are going to hate me!) The fire marshall lives next door and is encouraging me to give it a try. Anyone try this out yet?
