Help support your Meetup
Boulder Wine Meetup is a group of Boulder County wine enthusiasts who meet to taste and drink wine. No experience is necessary and we are all about having fun.
We have four different types of events:
Wine Education: These events involve learning about a specific aspect of wine. They are generally smaller (8-20 people) and usually include someone knowledgeable about the subject. No experience is necessary.
Wine Tastings: These events are the middle ground, usually 15-30 people and designed with tasting in mind. We'll usually discuss the wines and sometimes have score cards to rate them.
Wine Socials: These are larger events, with 20-60 people, and are as much about the socialization as the wine.
Wine Tours: Boulder Wine Meetup's main organizer Allan Wright happens to run two tour companies, Zephyr Adventures and Taste Vacations, both of which offer wine (and food and beer) tours. Occasionally we'll add one of these tours to the Meetup group and see if we can get a Boulder County contingent to go.
If you sign up for a wine tasting, please show up! No-shows and late cancellations make it hard for organizers. We do ask organizers to mark No Shows as such on this website. At most of our events, attendees are asked to bring a bottle of wine and an appetizer to share. Remember you should bring a bottle of which you are proud - not just the cheapest bottle on the shelf. Please don't take home wine - opened or unopened - without the host's permission!
If you would like to host an event, just let us know and we'll help you select a date, determine the type of tasting, and decide on other details. We'll even hook you up with an experienced "mentor" organizer if you wish. Events can be of any theme: food and wine pairing, a specific grape (Chardonnay), a specific region, tied to a current event ("Wines of the World Cup"), a holiday (French wines to celebrate Bastille Day), etc. They can be held at your home (a small group of 10-12 can be great) or you can work with a local establishment to hold one there. It's easy to host when your guests sign up on their own and bring their own wine and food.
Please note this group is composed of and run by volunteers. No one pre-screens hosts or checks to make sure hosts are doing things properly. No one pre-screens group members who might attend parties. No one checks to make sure you don't drink too much when you attend a tasting. You take full responsibility for yourself if you participate in this group.
The group is great fun and an excellent way to meet fellow wine fans!
offers active tours in premier wine areas around the world.
creates luxury wine, food, and beer vacations.

2012 VW Passat test-mules
looks the same
mallik727:looks the same This is only a test mule, not the finished product.
-------------------------------------- Vorsprung durch Technik
it looks um...boring

Made to compete with the BMW 3 series, Mercedes C-class, and Audi A4? Do they not know that they are trying to compete with one of their own? Why buy an A4 when you can have a Passat? Hehe
cajx2:Made to compete with the BMW 3 series, Mercedes C-class, and Audi A4? Do they not know that they are trying to compete with one of their own? Why buy an A4 when you can have a Passat? HeheUm, no. The Passat was never meant to be a luxury sedan nor is it supposed to compete with any of the cars you mentioned. The Passat is a family sedan for those who are looking at a Camry, Accord, Malibu or Fusion but want something a little more upscale or European.
-------------------------------------- Vorsprung durch Technik
Um, did you read the article? Read the caption under the photo.
As stated above, the article clearly states that VW wants the Passat to be compared with the BMW 3 and Mercedes C.However, one question...also stated in the article:"These are the first spy shots of a test-mule for the new car, revealing a longer and wider platform."At least the major 2 - the BMW 3 and Mercedes C - are much smaller than even the current Passat. I have no idea how they expect to compete with them if they make the car even larger? Even the new Audi A4 is still smaller than the current Passat.The renderings look good, but I highly question VW's "intent" to put it against other entry German offerings. Maybe, at least size wise, the E class, BMW 5 series, and A6...but good luck pushing a Passat into $50K car territory.Oh well, I guess if the CTS can do it...?
--------------------For Chai: 2013 Mustang V6 Premium, Pony Package"Too bad we can't re-write our own history."
"Volkswagen's next-generation Passat is expected to up the stakes against Germany's luxury carmakers, with the car's designers hoping it will be mentioned in the same breath as the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes Benz C-Class and Audi A4."Ummm... did I miss something? So the designers are hoping it will compete, but it's not meant to compete?
____________________________________________________________Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.
Um, will we get this vehicle? I thought they were giving Americans a different one to the European one.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The New World beckoned as many of the settlers in Ireland, known as the Scotch/Irish, became disenchanted. They sailed aboard the armada of sailing ships known as the "White Sails" which plied the stormy Atlantic. Some called them, less romantically, the "coffin ships." Amongst the early settlers who could be considered kinsmen of the Falchenor family, or who bore a variation of the surname Falchenor were Thomas, Robert, John, James, Alexander, Patrick, and Samuel Faulkner, all settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania between 1754 and 1878; Thomas Faulkner settled in Virginia in 1663.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Vive ut vivas
Motto Translation: Live that you may live for ever

Chicken Salad revisited
Original post made by Jane Johnson, another community, on Jan 7, 2008
Today, we shared new chicken salad recipes on this forum and in our All thing Alamo and Pop(u)lar e-chain. The chicken salad bread from Hal and the smoked bacon-crispy chicken on sauteed greens from Samantha in Alamo TN were special new additions. Come on California, tell us about Chicken Salad that suits our taste. You can't simply be lost in a Bay-on-daze (bayondaise).

Dear Alamo neighbors,
Chicken Salad in the South is a main dish of smoked chicken, vegetables, and fruit. The secret is marinating the chicken in hickory powder, vinegar and onions for a day prior to slow roasting at 200F. We slowly bake potatoes, celery, cabbage, apples, onions, roasted garlic cloves seasoned in sweet lemon sauce as the mixture for our sliced smoked chicken with it all served on a bed of fresh mint and raw spinach.
I was in San Diego and had chicken salad that tasted more like old-fashion potato salad, so I think we have something to teach California.

New Mexico has a twist on chicken salad and it is hominy (large corn grain). We roast whole chickens in our clay ovens fired by sage and mequite and then mix shredded chicken with hominy, vegetables and diced chilis to create a main dish serve on flat oven bread rolled like a burrito.

In Singapore, when we say chicken salad, we refer to the following recipe that we converted for available USAmerican ingredients:
• ¼ cup creamy peanut butter, preferably natural
• 2 tbsp less sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• ½ tsp minced ginger
• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped
• 2 cups prepared coleslaw
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes
We mix all the ingredients except the chicken and coleslaw (closest equivalent to a Malaysian dish) until it is very smooth. We fold in the coleslaw and then fold in the chicken. We serve it rolled in rice flour crepes.

Hello Alamo neighbors,
I am checking with Poplar Wisconsin to get the recipe for a grilled Wisconsin Chicken Salad Sandwich. Basically, it is small cubes of cheddar and chicken with diced celery, califlower, onions, and sweet pickles mixed with thick sour cream and German-style mustard. They toast the bread first on the grill by spreading a egg and butter mixture on the bread and then fill the toast with Chicken Salad. They then return it to the grill until the cheese softens.
Thanks Robert for reminding me of my days (daze) on the Horicon Marsh 30 years ago.

As I read Lynn's Singapore Chicken Salad recipe, I was reminded of our trips to Houston and our favorite Chicken Salad Sandwich at a special sandwich shop we always visit. Our favorite sandwich is called a Californian and is a mixture of peanut butter, feta, blue cheese, shredded chicken, and lots of vegetables in a spicy mustard and Asian chili sauce. The owner is Indian, as in India, from Singapore and claims it is served by relatives in "Little India." Thanks Hal, for explaining that part of Singapore and the TDW Editor's connection to SE Asia.
He also makes my favorite breakfast, claiming it from India, as a fried egg, shredded smoked (tandoori) chicken, Dejon mustard, pickled garlic slices, soft goat cheese, and large dill pickle slices all on dark toasted rye bread. It is called a paisley breakfast.
Do visit Houston,

Dear neighbors,
Our neighbor in Alamo GA asked for a California chicken salad recipe and let me describe my favorite. I use a 9x13 glass baking dish and cover the bottom with Chinese Sticky Rice 1/4" thick (from Safeway Deli). I cover the rice with raw spinach leaves. I add a layer of Avocado slices and cover with more spinach leaves. I blend chopped tomatoes, sliced black olives, drained canned corn, cilantro and chopped onions for the next layer that is topped with more spinach leaves. I put a layer of baked, shredded chicken breasts on top and cover with crumbled corn chips and shredded "Mexican" Cheese.
I lightly broil the topping and then put the salad in the refrigerator to chill for serving the next day. It is cut into 4" squares and served with a drizzle of Verde Salsa.
Thanks for all the recipes, neighbors

Dear Neighbors,
Well, it isn't Round Hill, but Round Rock TX, and its does not cost $125. Texas Style Chicken Strips are prepared and served on a bed of Jalapeno-spiced coleslaw in the hill country neighbor of Austin.
Take Chicken Breasts and dip them in egg batter made with chili, cumin, ginger, mustard, hickory powder, white vinegar and tomato paste. Marinate overnight and cook on a very hot mesquite fired grill for 2-3 minutes per side. Then cut in thin strips and lay them on the coleslaw. If you are not in Austin, buy coleslaw and mix in a 7 oz can of Jalapena salsa.
It will taste like $125,
Emee, Alamo Texas

The same goes for talking to the press after one of your players gets arrested. And this, too, is a thing that football coaches do a lot. Especially big-time coaches of big-time, D-1 programs — teams like Florida or Florida State — who bring in a lot of great athletes and all the behavioral problems that go with them. After 50 post-arrest press conferences in 15 years or so, these guys get pretty good at the shtick. "I'm deeply disappointed that Jimmy would even have an alligator in his room in the first place, but I think I speak for everyone in this program when I say that I believe him when he says he didn't foresee the animal actually eating that girl. I mean, lots of collegiate athletes have pets . . ."
Take Urban Meyer, coach of SEC powerhouse Florida. Meyer has gotten pretty slick with his post-arrest comments, employing a range of strategies. He's gone with the quick-strike, cut-that-bastard-loose strategy, used most recently when he kicked cornerback Jacques Rickerson to the curb after the latter got popped with a domestic-battery-by-strangulation charge ("That is not what our program is all about."). He's gone the "Coach X was tightlipped about Y's arrest today" route, much favored by coaches who want to see just how bad the actual criminal charges will be before they act — Meyer used that tactic after safety Tony Joiner was arrested this past year ("I don't know the whole story yet.").
Then there is the "shocked, shocked" ploy, which you usually see after an important player or recruit gets hit with an especially ugly charge. Coach knows the player is such a great kid, a great teammate, he just can't fathom how he ended up high on dust and throwing two state troopers into a plate-glass window. This is usually a prelude to an appeal to the court for mercy, a mild sentence that goes heavy on community service and anger-management counseling, and a boldly lenient one-game suspension (to coincide with the Appalachian State game) that the school issues using the reasoning that "we all make mistakes."
Such was the situation this week when Cameron Newton, backup to megastar quarterback Tim Tebow, got arrested for the already passé charge of laptop theft. When police came to investigate the theft, it seems Newton threw the laptop out his window into a dumpster. The cops found the evidence and booked the young man on felony counts of burglary, larceny, and obstructing justice.
Meyer's quote: "I was shocked. Absolutely fell out of my chair, crushed, surprised."
Newton will probably be suspended for a while, but expect him back next year. He becomes one of a string of prominent college athletes (including UConn basketball stars A.J. Price and Marcus Williams and Red Sox farmhand Clay Buchholz) who've been caught stealing laptop computers. Give him 28 points for the nonviolent offense, plus an extra one for the classy throwing-out-the-window move.

text: I have recently taken part in 2 other Mysteries and I have enjoyed them very much. I am just finishing piecing the second one so I just went to my stash to pick out fabrics. Last year around my birthday my DH had done some work for friends and was paid in many pieces of fabric! I was thrilled! Here are the ones I picked out. I have yet to go read through the threads of the last two Mystery Quilt train rides. I did see Esther's avatar. Wonderful!

Yes, very good. I have two of them and love 'em.
Made in Winchester, KY
Anyone have one or can tell me if they are a good manufacturer of lowers? Ive got a small gun shop I like to do business with and they can get me a stripped lower for $90 and that includes his transfer fee.
Yes, very good. I have two of them and love 'em.
Made in Winchester, KY
Great!! Im heading in there today to place my order for the lower. Just sent in my order to model1sales for the A3 Commando upper with a few goodies to go with it.
Double Star is a spin off company from J&T sales. J&T has been a very reputable supplier of AR kits, complete uppers and accessories for years. I would expect the same from Double Star.
I had one.
Functioned flawlessly.
Now it still works that way for my brother-in-law too.
Ive ended up with a DPMS for the same price he quoted me for the DoubleStar. Have to post some pics when I get'r done. Warning: I am a gear whore so dont be surprised if this thing is loaded down with lights and lasers
Something like this?Originally Posted by ImtheGDP
I like that, I can see I need more rails on mine!
Oh and I have a few doublestars and they are very nice, the main thing I liked is I can get consective numbered ones, I don't seem to be able to do that with any other brand.
It's like the makers mix them up at the factory and make sure they send out consective ones to the same palce.
I had my FFL order two Olympic stripped lowers for me. They came through with consecutive numbers. I never even thought to ask him if that was possible, but when they came through that way, I was pleased.
WOW 7.62 that thing just needs some armor plates mounted on it and its ready for war. I wont get that intense though..lol Just a tactical light, green laser and 30mm scope. I also found a good 2 peice aluminum foregripwith built in rail for $60. Compared that to the $140 one the gunshop had it was an easy decision as to which one to buy. The rail is a KZ brand and its at botac.com, Im sure many of you are familure with the site.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas and dry by rolling them around in a kitchen towel. Combine the oil, paprika cumin, cayenne and salt in a large bowl. Add chickpeas and toss to coat evenly. Transfer the chickpeas to a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer. Bake until golden and crispy, 25 to 35 minutes, shaking the tray to toss after 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the chickpeas to a serving bowl.

I really enjoyed my stay at Sofie's room, which was actually a self contained suite off the front entrance. It was meticulously clean, warm, and airy, with it's own washroom, mini-fridge, and sink. The only thing missing was a kitchen, but there are plenty of restaurants and stores around to get prepared food from. It's also very close to transit, walkable to the city center, and nearby a really nice park. I would be happy to stay there again.

A beautiful room with everything you need for a few Days. The host is really friendly. You are in the citycenter in a cuple of minutes by bus. There are some small shops and restaurants near the room.
Really really cool room with all that you need to stay for some days in Gent. Near to the bus stop for the city center (20 mins by bus). Sophie advices us for cool and cheap places where to eat and drink, and she welcome us in the best way when we arrived. In my opinion much better than every hotel and hotel that you can find!!!! If I will return in Gent (my favourite city in Belgium) I will come here without any doubts!!
Sofie welcomed us very kindly and was a very nice and thrustworthy host overall (which let us not feel weird that the door to our room was not lockable). The room offers everything you need and you can see that they thought of a lot of details that make your stay easier.
Even though we didn't spend time with the family renting this room didn't feel like staying with strangers. You hear quite a lot of the family life and their birds. We communicated with them via letters on the stairs :)
Like others already said..peeing while your fellow travellers are able to look through a glass door might be weird - depending on who you are travelling with ;)
We had a lovely stay and would definitely come back to this room and these hosts!
Awesome place. Hosts are very helpful and friendly people!
Some orange juices and coffee were waiting for us every morning, even if you don't pay for the incredible breakfast that they offer. Bus necessary to move to the downtown of the city of Gent.
We will be back, sure!
We really enjoyed our stay at Coca cola room. Owners were really kind and their hospitality was good. They gave us some drinks which were at the fridge and a lot of tea and coffee. The room is very comfortable , very close to the bus stop that leaves you in the center of Gent . We thank James & Sofie for their hospitality and recommend the Coca Cola Room to anyone who wants to visit Gent .
Alba, Leti & Èlia.
We enjoyed our stay in the Coca Cola room very much. Sofie and her family were very nice and helpful and made us feel welcome as soon as we set foot through the door. Parking was really easy and with the bus stop just around the corner, it was the ideal location to explore Gent. We had plenty of tea, coffee and little biscuits plus something to drink in the fridge which was very generous. We would go there again. Alex and Jessica
It was a great experience being in that wonderful and unique room!!! James was more than kind and helpful with everything!!! he gave us instructions how to get to the center , he borrow us for free two bikes to visit easier the city ... we have our privacy with fresh washed towel and bed clothes !!! We are very glad to meet a person like James bacause he is so helpful and so kind!!! thank you for everything!!! and keep collecting coca cola things!!!!

making fruit cake
I'm experimenting (badly) with making fruit cake - it's a great way of using up dodgy spirits left over from Christmas. The recipe I was following uses 600g of currants and raisins, and worked fine when I followed it to the letter.
I substituted this for dried apricots, raisins and cherries. I didn't bother chopping the cherries and apricots up. The cake then took a lot longer to cook than the recipe said it would and fell apart when I tried to slice it.
What I was wondering is should I have chopped the apricots and cherries up? Presumably this would have helped cooking time and prevented the cake falling apart?
Any help/tips much appreciated.

Re: making fruit cake
This is guesswork, as I have never attempted that kind of fruitcake, but from German fruitbreads this is what I think might be the problem:
I am not sure about the cooking time, but I think it would hold together better if you chopped up the bigger fruit (apricots that is - cherries I think are not much bigger than raisins so that should not matter). You should not have to make them as small as the raisins though, just cut 1/2 cm stripes.
Did you soak the fruit with the spirits? Maybe the other fruits (esp. the big apricots) soaked up too much and that made the dough so soggy. Try not soaking them as long maybe or squeeze them out a bit before using and take the juice you sqeeze out for the liquid in your dough (to replace the water or milk or whatever)

Re: making fruit cake
Thanks. It's proving annoying this cake. When I followed the recipe it worked fine, but when I've changed the dried fruits it's not working. I've tried chopping the fruit up smaller, but it still isn't giving me a clean skewer after the cooking time. I'll leave it in for longer and see what happens, but I guess the thing to do is make the mixture less moist and, say, not use the liquid the fruits been soaking in?

Re: making fruit cake
I am guessing that your dough gets to moist. I think it might be a good idea to try with less liquid. Then when you mix your dough and it is too dry add it little by little to not get too much.
Have you cut your cake open after baking to see the texture around the fruit? I sometimes make a traditional southern German fruit bread for Christmas and the skewer never comes out clean, but not because it's not done, but because of pulp from the dried fruit sticking to it (pears and prunes can get quite sticky). When I cut it up later the dough around the fruit usually has a perfect texture....

Re: making fruit cake
You would need to chop those things up, they are too large. Fruit cakes don't have much dough to hold it all together, they rely on small bits of fruit that all get coated in a little of the dough/mix and stick together. try finding (google is your friend) a recipe that uses those ingredients.

Certifications +/-?
I've seen different posts/discussions on various sites regarding the security certifications out there. I'm curious to know whether the people that currently have these certifications (whether it's Security+, CEH, CPTS, etc.) have benefited from them?
What has raised my concern is, mostly, the reputation of EC-Council and their certifications. I've seen numerous posts about how they're not helpful in the real world. Up till today, I've been trying to justify to myself that it's because they're a younger organization than say, SANS. But today I found out my CEH/ECSA courses have been canceled.. again. So I'm re-thinking the route I'd like to take and would like to hear from anyone with some good input

At 17 Bub Wehi fell in love with his future wife while working at a bus stop in Opotiki - she had the fastest walk he'd ever seen and although he didn't know it at the time, from that moment his own feet started moving towards a rhythm to last a lifetime.
Launched tomorrow Ka Mau Te Wehi is the story of Bub and Nen Wehi the famous husband and wife team who were leaders of two champion kapa haka groups Waihirere from Te Aitanga a Mahaki and Te Waka Huia, an Auckland urban based group.
In a nod to the pair's standing, more than 700 are expected at the concert event which will draw the heavyweights of the kapa haka out from their own practices just three weeks out from the nationals,Te Matatini.
The Wehi's accomplishments are formidable. Winners with Waihirere at the top competition twice in the 1970s, winners in 1986 with Waka Huia, then a first time entrant, the pair went on to set records over the next 25 years by always qualifying in the top six groups and winning the overall competition four times.
The book is an insight into how the pair composed over nearly six decades. Early in the book Bub tells it simply: "I find it interesting how opposites attract, yet we were complementary in every way: she was the melody, I was the words and together we were the song.''
Author Bradford Haami started the project after Nen died in 2011 at the age of 81. Her husband, 79 next week, has Parkinson's disease and is wheelchair bound so the pair's whanau were involved in the storytelling, sharing memories so that both of their parents voices were heard.
From Whakatohea and Tuhoe Bub fell in love with Muriel Pimia Te Ua, known as Nen, when he was a teenager working at Opotiki Road Services. She'd hopped off the bus from Gisborne. They'd meet at a church function not long after. Lovesick he followed her to Wellington and then turned up in Gisborne to search her out after she'd returned north after her mother's death.
Nen was the oldest grandchild of a chiefly line who'd been taken under the wings of her Te Ua uncles. Their strict attention meant by the time she met her future husband she was already a seasoned performer. He wasn't and until he met her he'd sworn off ever participating in that world at a young age after an early disappointment in not making a team.
Courting her meant there was little choice but to become a backrow member of Waihirere where novices learn, but he quickly moved up the ranks. He came under the eye of broadcaster Bill Kerekere and her uncles - intimidating men who watched like hawkes.
Together they were known for "raising the dust'' on social issues such as child abuse and used their artform to travel the world as cultural ambassadors.
The values they lived by - humility, love, hardwork, loyalty, pride in the things that make Maori, Maori, are the things that Mr Haami says define the Wehis.
"I told Bub `I don't want to write something about entertainment, it must be something more than that.' I asked him `What is kapa haka?' And his answer to me was `Kapa haka is about family.' It was the only way that Nen and him could teach good family values to the next generation as well as teaching them Maoritanga. That's what hooked me. ''
Their son Tapeta said he wished the project had happened while his mum was alive. Nevertheless, it shares his parents lifelong commitment to each other and their community.
Ka Mau te Wehi launch concert at 98 Beaumont Street Victory Convention Centre, Sunday 6pm
Tickets $25 at the door

This is my first year of beekeeping and IÂm looking for opinions for winterizing my hives. I have 2 hives and I live in the foothills of North Carolina.
I have read articles about those who warp the hives in black paper and insulation but is this needed in my climate?
I have also read about adding grease patties to the hives to help with mite control. There isnÂt enough room between the inner cover and the frames, where do I put the grease patties in the hive?

This question might seem obvious to most, but not me. I am from Michigan and have lived in California for more than 20 years. I still have not adjusted to the weather patterns out here. Today in my California backyard it was over 70 degrees and the bees were flying a lot.
I was planning on regressing the bees in "the spring", but not sure when that is. LOL.
A couple years ago we had a warm spell and our plum tree blossomed. One week later we had freezing rain that knocked all the flowers off the tree. No plums that year.
I am afraid to do anything with the bees too soon.

3rd Generation Fan & 3rd Generation Season Ticket Holder.
Much like your experience Sean, except 17 years earlier. To sum it up in one word, CHARACTER.
I got serious and locked in to this team by the 1990 Monday Night Football matchup against the 2x defending champion 49ers. Both teams were 11-1, best teams in the league. The Giants lost that hard fought game but they showed such fight, such spirit, such character, I was hooked, and they won the SB that year (on their backup QB and RB, no less) and beat those same 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. Very similar to the feeling of the week 17 regular season matchup against the Patriots that the Giants lost 38-35 and then would beat them in the Super Bowl.

Funny thing with me is no one in my family liked American Football, it was all about Soccer (Futbol). I guess I was destined to be a Giants fan, Watched the sport on TV one day and guess who was playing? The Giants lol
Of course I lived in NY at the time so i was able to watch all their games from that day on and was a huge fan since, this was at the age of 8.
My dad's early influence it the single biggest reason I am a Giants fan.
No one remembers who came in second.
Because I was born to be a Giants fan. Same as my Dad and my grandfather. Now passed on to my daughter. Its a family curse I figure.
Born and raised in Canton Ohio (Home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame)..its where I live,been here all my 45 yrs..Here in Canton, its both a Cleveland Browns or Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase, and I proudy fly my Giants flag from the roof of my home...Ive been a GIants fan since I was about 8yrs old thanks to my first Pee Wee football team that I played for was the Giants, and since that day, Ive never looked back, and dont ever plan to.. Im a Big Blue lifer !!!! see you guys in Canton when Coach Parcells goes into the Hall this summer in August..
I am a fan since 85 because of my older brothers and sisters.
Lets go, Giants!

Local wrestlers react to decision to drop sport from 2020 Olympics
Some local wrestlers are hoping their sport isn't down for the count following a decision by the International Olympic Committee.
The IOC voted to drop wrestling from the 2020 Olympic games.
The Bethlehem Catholic school wrestling team just won its third straight state title last weekend.
Two days later, teammates heard wrestling will not be included in the 2020 Summer Olympics.
"I didn't react to it well," said senior Ryan Todora. "It's a step back for wrestling as a whole."
"It shortens my time almost," added Darian Cruz, another Bethlehem Catholic senior. "Because I was definitely planning on being in the 2016 Olympics and continue to compete in the Olympics. It would have been the 2020."
The announcement is also being felt a few miles south at Lehigh University.
Former Lehigh and Olympic coach, Greg Strobel, said the decision is shocking and will hurt the summer games.
"Wrestling is a sport that is practiced around the world," added Strobel. "When I saw the press release about well maybe the popularity wasn't there. Virtually every country in the world has some form of wrestling."
A lot of wrestlers said don't count out their sport because they are hoping the IOC will reconsider and reinstate the sport.
"All over the world wrestling people are rallying with what can we do," said Strobel.
"Pennsylvania being one of the elite wrestling states, it's hard to even fathom that they would not have it in the Olympics in 2020," added Cruz.
"I'm still going to try and do the best I can at any level I am at," said Toroda. "If there is that level when I get to that point then maybe we'll see me there."
The International Olympic Committee will look at the decision once again later this year before a final vote.

This summer I went backpacking in the Weminuce Wilderness. The first night we hiked into Chicago Basin to set up camp. As we came upon this junction there was a large group of backpackers who looked like they were taking a break.
We said hello and then set up camp about 300 yards east of this junction. The next morning we woke early to summit Windom Peak and as we were walking back to the junction to take the Twin Lakes trail we noticed that the large group had set up camp not only next to the trail but actually on the trail. They had 11 tents set up and 3 of them were actually on the trail. They were all asleep still, but when we got back down to camp that afternoon they were all just sitting there hanging out. I refrained from saying anything but now looking back I'm thinking I should have said something. So I was wondering if you all would have said anything to this group and what do you typically let slide and when do you decide to intervene? Thanks all.

11 tents?! Jeez! Maybe the ones on the trail were trying to minimize their impact on the area. If it wasn't too difficult to circumvent, I probably wouldn't say much – there's too many yahoos out there. Who know who's 'packing' and wakes up in a hangover-rage…Nov 16, 2006 at 1:34 pm #1367363

It's been my experience that people like that don't want to listen to what you have to say no matter how polite you are. They're going to think your the jerk, then it's 11 tents worth of people to one. Unfortunatly, every one has a differant opinion of what is OK and what isn't OK in the back country, and sometimes it's impossible to change their opinion.Nov 18, 2006 at 8:55 am #1367557

Another aspect of lack of trail etiquette: horses and bicycles on restricted trails. In the IN and MI forests I can frequent on weekend trips, many trail segments are multi-use, allowing horses and bicycles as well as hiking. However, although some trails are designated hiking only, I have a number of times run into cyclists or horses on a restricted trail. Although I have been tempted to say something to them about not belonging on that particular trail section, I find myself moving aside, saying "hi", and later phoning the Ranger station to report trail misuse. Short of mayhem, does anyone have a suggestion for alternate action? What do you do in similar situations?
Horses, as an aside, really destroy a trail in short order in the relatively soft ground of the midwest forests. Hiking where any frequent horse use exists is no fun!Nov 18, 2006 at 11:46 am #1367578

If you find horses or bikes or orvs on trails and you are absolutely, positively sure that they are prohibited there, take pictures. Take lots of pictures.
Write a polite letter (including the pictures) to the local land management agency. Send copies of that polite letter and pictures to local newspapers and (if on federal land) your congressperson or senator. Make sure all of these parties know that you sent copies to others — that makes it harder for anyone to blow off your letter.
Then sit back and watch the fireworks.
Seriously, congressional staffs love stuff like this. If you can show that a land management agency isn't enforcing the laws they'd like to hear about it.Nov 19, 2006 at 11:52 am #1367643
This has been an on going problem in the Alpine Lakes area, a couple of local individuals poaching trails in the wilderness. Having talked with them they are totally unrepentent…they've gotten access to gates on closed roads that allow them quick entry and have built some extreme freeride stunts inside the wilderness. The authorities seemed puzzled with what to do with pictures and gps coordinates so that a couple of climbers started toting hacksaws. The problem ended with a $6000.00 bike being cut in half. Local problem, local solution.
As David will testify the horse contigent in Washington State is quite strong, with access to just about anything that isn't class 4 mountaineering routes. Most packers are real concious of their impact but there are a few that need to tie their stock off at a lake or stream. I feel I have to confront them, offer to help move their animals, try to keep it neutral but have a strong knowledge of what is legal, after all the hacksaw solution isn't going to work with horses.Nov 20, 2006 at 4:40 pm #1367786

We get similar problems with teenagers and trail bikes here in Australia. It got quite dangerous in one National Park near Sydney – the trail bike riders were travelling at high speed on narrow walking trails (to avoid being caught) and were getting very close to killing a walker. So some local walkers retaliated, by stringing piano wire across a trail. The next illegal bikie was decapitated. The authorities were aghast, but the trail bikes stopped. No-one was ever prosecuted.
I certainly do not support this sort of extreme action myself, but clearly some local people were really aggro about the bikies. A lower chain would have been better.Nov 21, 2006 at 2:22 am #1367828
Scott AshdownMember
@waterloggedwelliesLocale: United Kingdom
I'm slightly aghast at the suggestion that slinging a low chain across a trail to stop motorcycle riders might have been better, especially after the mention of someone being decapitated in the same posting. Whilst a low chain might not decapitate someone, it could still cause a serious accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Whilst personally I dislike motorcycle riders tearing down trails in designated wilderness areas, setting wires, chains or other barriers is repugnent. This type of behaviour should be condemmed outright and those responsible brought to justice.
Those that ride motorcycles are out to enjoy themselves and whilst they should find somewhere more suitable to engage in their activity, they do not deserve to be maimed because someone feels they have the moral high ground. If you engage in chain slinging etc, you have lost the moral high ground outright.
The previous posters suggestion of taking pictures, contacting authorities etc is a much more appropriate course of action. Bike seizures, heavy fines, imprisonment for extreme cases, education campaigns, land set aside for motor cyclists etc are much better solutions and tactics to take.
Roger, whilst i'm glad to see you do not support extreme action yourself, your last comment 'A lower chain might have been better' is not helpful. How can anything slung across a trail that can cause injury be 'Better' ?
This sort of vigilante action needs condeming. Full Stop.Nov 21, 2006 at 2:33 am #1367829
>>"How can anything slung across a trail that can cause injury be 'Better' ?"
'Better' = Of course, in this case, a relative term only (e.g. injury vs. death); NOT meant as a term of advocacy or recommendation; "lower" in the sense of maybe teaching a lesson rather causing severe injury or death (but who's to know the outcome of any such action).
Clear thinking, good words, Scott.

My son and I went for a small hike this past weekend. He's only three, but was still able to do the 2.5 mile loop with some occasional stops to hit a tree with his hiking stick and refill on goldfish snacks.

Robert Tangen asked, "What have we become, effete nattering nabobs?"
For the sake of historical accuracy, I note that it was Spiro Agnew who spoke about an "effete corps of impudent snobs" and "nattering nabobs of negativism."
Perhaps, in the years since, the groups have merged to become "effete nattering nabobs."Nov 21, 2006 at 6:50 pm #1367915
Speaking of bearitos, my grandfather tells this story: "I was UL packing in
Alaska when I came around a corner, and there was a huge grizzly, AAARRRGHH! standing on his hind legs. I'm afraid I pooped my pants." "Don't feel bad, Grandpa," I said, "anyone coming on a grizzly that close would do the same." "No,no, I didn't do it back then, I pooped them just now when I yellled AAARRRGHH!"

Situated in the foothills of the White Mountains on the banks of Squam Lake, Holderness affords visitors the best of the Lakes Region no matter the season.
At the 25-year-old Inn On Golden Pond, an eight-room country-style B&B built in 1879, you'll be surrounded by 50 acres of classic New England forest, a soft blanket of snow providing a placid hush over the property. Deluxe rooms could almost be mistaken for suites—they're that big. Each one is appointed with tasteful furnishings from a bygone era, with cozy quilts covering the queen-size beds and pristine hard wood bedecking the floors. Crack a book in one of the reading chairs and enjoy the natural light from the large picture windows. The two extra-large suites feature two rooms: a bedroom with a king-size bed and a sitting room with a couch and coffee table.
Gather round the diningroom table in the morning for a buffet-style breakfast, which includes fresh-brewed coffee along with home-baked breads and muffins, homemade jam, and a variety of delicious house specialties. You'll get your own private table, but now's a good time to get tips and suggestions, from your fellow travelers as well as the innkeepers, for your days ahead.
Our pick? Head to one of several nearby ski resorts, all within 45 minutes of the inn. Cannon Mountain, Waterville Valley, and Loon Mountain are tucked away just north in White Mountain National Forest, home of some of the best downhill in the state. Cannon Mountain also features an interesting museum about New Hampshire's history of skiing (it's the state sport, after all). Dogsledding is also a popular wintertime activity in New Hampshire; head about 15 minutes west to Barking Brook Sled Dog Adventures and "mush!" your way through the woods.
Dinner in Holderness offers a few classic American options, and the town of Plymouth, less than ten miles away, dishes up a variety of good eats. Try Six Burner Bistro, a casually upscale restaurant set in an 1850s farmhouse that serves New American cuisine—made with fresh, local ingredients—beside a cozy fireplace.
"We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable experience. Once we arrived, Bonnie provided a tour of the Inn and made us feel right at home. The breakfast served each morning was substantial and delicious."-- TripAdvisor

Bicycle Safety
Learning how to ride a bike encompasses only half the battle. The other half is knowing the laws and proper safety measures.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, by law, bikes on the road have the same rights and responsibilities as cars. The Official Code of Georgia goes into detail and lists a number of laws regarding bicycling. It might be helpful to know some of these regulations.
For example:
- You must signal your turns with the appropriate gestures.
- No one can ride on the handlebars (you can't carry more people than what your bike is equipped to carry).
- If you're in a bike lane, you have to ride in the same direction as the traffic on the road.
- Electric assisted bikes may use the bike path (definition of an electric bike).
- When riding a bike at night, you need to have a white light in the front (visible for at least 300 feet) and a red light in the back (visible for at least 300 feet). If you have red reflectors on the back of your bike that have been approved by the Department of Public Safety, you don't need to have the red light in the back.
- If you're under 16, you must wear a helmet when riding or being a passenger on a highway, bike path or bike lane
These laws often change, so it might be useful to review the rules every now and then. The Governor's Office of Highway Safety also provides a handy Bike Safety Checklist to make sure you're as safe as possible.
On Oct. 18-20 the Georgia Bikes organization will hold a Georgia Bike Summit. Elected leaders and transportation officials (such as those from the Georgia Department of Transportation) will be there to talk about biking in Georgia and how to make Georgia a more bike friendly state.

Dear All,
I am a relatively newbeek, just started my first tb hive a month ago. My question is, my hive seems to be growing, having inspected the hive almost daily through the window (self made hive), and have also opened it up numerous times and have also located my momma queen twice so far. All is going well and feel like I should be "maintaining" my hive by adding a new top bar somewhere. Although I have numerous open bars without any comb built on them still available between the two honeystore combs they have built and my follower board, I am wondering if I am supposed to place a new top bar between the brood comb and the honey comb top bars?
I hope you understand my question. Haven't counted but I believe I have about five brood comb top bars from the end of the hive up until the beginning of my two honey comb bars. Should I encourage them to build new brood comb bars by adding a new bar? Of if I add a new bar between the two types of comb am I confusing them? Or should I just leave them to their own accord?
Thanks so much for any and all help as we here in New York are hopefully entering our busiest time of the year for bees, the heat, sun, and flowers are all blooming, just waiting for our bees to do the job!!
Keep buzzing!!!

Tech Watch: Evernote Smart Notebook by Moleskine
Evernote and Moleskine team up to bring us the first smart notebook which turns your doodles, sketches and writings on your Moleskine into a digital copy on your Evernote app.
There's something charmingly aristocratic about a Moleskine. There's no denying that pulling out a roughed-up Moleskine during a big business meeting instead of your iPad looks impressive and well versed, and you're less likely to look like you're playing a game of hangman during the meeting points. In a world where we're all so absorbed by what's on the screens of our iPhones and tablets, having a pen or pencil hit a piece of paper feels so right. Despite this, there are times that you wish technology and paper could be fluent with each other, especially if your job entails writing, designing or drawing. Enter the newfound partnership between the highly popular ISO app Evernote and our dearly beloved Moleskine.
The two popular brands have teamed up to create the first "smart notebook," a product that looks exceedingly similar to the regular Moleskine notepad but is designed to be photographed onto your camera and uploaded into the Evernote program, thus making whatever you were working on in your notebook digital. You'll notice that when you attempt to take a photo with your smartphone of a piece of paper it will come out blurry or washed out. With the Evernote Smart Notebook, they hope to abolish that issue with their unique pages which come in ruled, squared and plain page with dotted lines, which "ensure a clean image when digitally capturing your notebook."
Each notebook comes with three months' free Evernote Premium, and to entice buyers to keep purchasing the product, after three months if you purchase a new Evernote Smart Notebook you get the same three free months deal. The regular-sized notebooks are currently going for $24.95, and the larger notebooks are $29.95 and are available for pre-order here.

Press Review: Led Zeppelin Keeps Audience in Frenzy
If a Led Zeppelin concert is nothing else, it's a physical assault on the human mind and body.
The British hard rock group, one of the world's top 10 concert drawing powers, "assaulted" a frenzied Markey Square Arena crowd of 18,000 last night for two hours and 45 minutes with a cranked-up sound and a dazzling light show.
The audience, mostly those in their teens and early 20s, was socked with damaging decibels, flying Frisbees, firecrackers and whisky bottles, eye-burning smoke and eye-popping flash pots and laser beams. One big headache.
But you know what? The crowd loved it!
That's what Led Zep is all about. The group must have a certain hypnotic effect on its followers. Why else would anybody stand for hours in line to get a show at a stage front festival-seating spot only to be crushed by sweaty, smelly bods the rest of the night?
Perhaps lead singer Robert Plant, 29, is the wicked weaver of the spell with his curly hair, sturdy frame, suggestive body motion and wailing voice.
The best part of the concert wasn't the audio portion (much of the sound was over amplified and distorted), as much as it was the visual. The stage was flooded with bank lights, some of them pulsating to the drum beat of John "Bonzo" Bonham.
Laser lights made their first appearance during John Paul Jones' relentlessly long "No Quarter". The lights shot to the arena ceiling (unfortunately the hall's catwalk interfered with a portion of the beams) and oscillated with Jones' keyboard frequency.
The lasers reappeared again during 19-minutes Achilles Last Stand, featuring lead guitarist Jimmy Page. The green beams formed a pyramid around Page as yellow beams jetted out into the arena. When the base of the pyramid rotated around the imprisoned Page, the crowd gasped in amazement.
And then there was Bonham's drum solo. Didn't drum solos go out with The Cream? But this was not your ordinary "let the other guys rest while the drummer works his tail off" drum solo. With the help of his own personal moving stage, another splendid lighting effect and some amazing electronics at the soundboard, the talented Bonham had the audience standing for his 14-minute, 8-second bang-bang boogie.
Plant could have offered the hall double its money back to leave without hearing his classical Stairway to Heaven and no one would have left. Even the non-Zep fans must admit Stairway is one of rock's music top ten all-time greats.
Although the number was altered slightly from its studio version, the crowd did not disappoint. Engulfed in rolling bits of colored light bouncing off a rotating mirrored ball, the audience jumped up for 5 minutes, demanding an encore.
The group returned for another number, Rock & Roll, but much to the crowd's dismay that was the last song of the night. Left unplayed were some of those old Led Zep biggies such as Whole Lotta Love and when the house lights went up a few boos rose with them.

Tour poster Indpls 1977
The poster that I have, which I purchased at The Record Company in
Greenwood, IN in 1978, is exactly like the one pictured, except it says:
North American Tour
Friday, April 17, 1977 8:00 pm
Market Square Arena
It has no mention of tickets or price. I googled 1977 calender year, and April 17 was definitely a Sunday, like the ticket stub above indicates. Not sure why my poster, or the one above indicates that April 17 is a Friday; must be a printing error that was not caught.

Whistler Creekside: For Family Reunions
Getting the whole family together for the simple purpose of enjoying each others company can be one of life's sweetest pleasures. Coming together in Whistler Creekside makes it even sweeter.
Lodging Ovations Knows Family Reunions
Lodging Ovations commitment to luxury, family-friendly accommodation makes Whistler Creekside an unforgettable destination for family reunions. From booking your accommodations to finding activities and events to add some wow factor into your reunion, Lodging Ovations is there to help organize your Whistler getaway.
Lodging Ovations Has Room for Everyone
Lodging Ovations makes bringing the generations together even easier by offering three different properties, Evolution, Legends and First Tracks Lodge. Each condominium-style unit has a fully equipped kitchen and in-suite laundry -- two essentials when it comes to family travel in Whistler.
In addition, Lodging Ovations has one to four bedroom suites that have enough space for everyone to relax and unwind after a day of festivities. Each property is slightly different, but each is a testament to Lodging Ovations dedication to excellence.
Evolution, the newest of the properties, features "modern mountain" interior design that has a wide appeal for urban couples.
First Tracks Lodge, is the closest property in all of Whistler to a gondola and is the first choice for anyone that wants to be first on the mountain. Indulge in the four-season pool and hot tubs or spend some unhurried time in the lobby library.
Legends, with its large number of two and three-bedroom suites, is a top choice for families with kids.
Family Bonding in Whistler Creekside
Whatever the reason or season, we can help you find activities that will bring the family together. May it be a once in a lifetime group heli-ski adventure or an afternoon of canoeing down the River of Golden Dreams is more your clan's speed. Or perhaps creating an all-family version of The Amazing Race would work best for your tribe. Regardless of the activity, Lodging Ovations can assist you with planning the perfect Whistler escape.
The Ultimate Family Meal
Lodging Ovations has more than 2,200 square feet of meeting space in Legends that be configured to accommodate a special family dinner, lunch or brunch to help give more focus to your reunion. Food has always been an important part of family celebrations. While a Whistler Creekside family reunion meal may not feature Aunt Betty's peach cobbler, it will definitely be memorable.
Whistler Creekside's Ultimate Space
This special event space can accommodate up to 160 guests, making it ideal for feeding even the largest family. And the best part of a Lodging Ovations family reunion meal is that no one is stuck in the kitchen.
Catering your Family Reunion
Lodging Ovations has established great relationships with two of Whistler's best event caterers, Whistler Cooks and Whistler Blackcomb Catering. Whatever your needs, Lodging Ovations will help develop a menu that will make everyone forget about Aunt Betty's peach cobbler.

I would suggest renting or going to a range with someone with a good selection of handguns and choose the one that your gut tells you to buy. Choosing the right handgun is a very personal decision but my advice would buy the one YOU REALLY WANT the first time, you will not regret it.

Turbine, Inc. has officially started taking Alpha Program player registrations as it unlocks the gates to Stormreach, the frontier city from the highly-anticipated MMORPG Dungeons & Dragons Online.
"Fans have long waited to venture into the far away world and epic fantasy of Dungeons & Dragons Online, and now Turbine is anxious to raise the curtain to give its first sneak-peek," said Judith Hoffman, executive producer, Turbine, Inc. "Turbine's commitment to its fans is to deliver the most immersive and accurate online D&D experience possible. We hope the Alpha process helps us reinforce our vision for this mysterious and exciting world."
For a limited time only, Turbine will be accepting applicants for the iconic MMORPG's highly-anticipated Alpha Program, which kicks off in the near future. While this first Alpha stage will have limited number of players, Turbine expects to increase the number of players allowed into the game on a regular basis.
Dungeons & Dragons Online delivers the world-renowned fantasy franchise to the digital online age by introducing the epic fantasy to massively-multiplayer online audiences. DDO allows players to explore the frontier city of Stormreach and the surrounding mysterious continent of Xen'drik. Players can create their own character based on iconic D&D races and classes, experience fast paced tactical combat that requires critical thinking as much as bravery and physical skill and participate in intricate and immersive storylines.
To sign up for their chance to be selected for Dungeons & Dragons Online Alpha, gamers should head to http://beta.turbine.com/signup. Potential fans of D&D and MMORPGs are encouraged to register at the game's official web site, www.ddo.com, where they will learn more about the game, see exclusive content and unlock the secrets of what lies beneath the streets of Stormreach.
Turbine brings the first massively-multiplayer online role playing game based on the world famous Dungeons & Dragons franchise to its first milestone of Alpha for Dungeons & Dragons Online. The official game, based on Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons & Dragons, is produced, funded and operated by Turbine in conjunction with publisher Atari, Inc. and is currently scheduled for release in the second half of 2005.

I have read ALMOST everything I could find (re:FGMO) and still I have questions. After the welt cord is soaked in the emulsion can it be stored for any length of time. In other words can I make up 50 saturated cords and store then in zip-lock bags for future use??.Also if I mix a large batch of emulsion how long can I store it before spoilage?? Can it be frozen or kept cold for preservation??
I am really excited. Just ordered my FIrst two nucs for spring. The hives are built and the stand is up and cleared. The wait is almost unbearable.

Wildsau is a German loan word which literally means "wild soar" but does not necessarily refer to the zool. definition of the word. Instead, it is used mostly expression for a person that's wild one way or the other, where the context could be anything, e.g. from the girlfriend ("she's an animal in bed") or another driver ("he drives like crazy").
Why are you so exhausted? - My new girlfriend is a true Wildsau.

Used prices will depend on cosmetic and mechanical condition, and would therefore be specific to any individual example.
For examples of new prices, you can go to the Bud's Gun Shop website and see what just about everything out there sells for. Don't forget to add FFL transfer fees to the prices, so that you get a true "out the door" cost.
You could also get a feel for prices by going through the Gunbroker.com site, but I find that most of the prices on new firearms is higher than what I can find locally.
