hello. we're new to bees. the 3 kids and i love it (mom too?)! we live in the sierra foothills, 30 miles east of sacramento, california, pure heaven. we're into everything outdoors...and now top bar beekeeping too, courtesy of chandler's biobees.com e-book and an ebay 20-bar top bar hive kit purveyor from ohio.
here's the story on our 2nd package of bees. the first absconded after 4 days, perhaps due to "too much love." we were camping under the wire mesh at night, shining flashlights upward, snapping flash photos. naive, yes!
here's try #2:
*8 days ago - 4 lbs bees packaged by an amateur beekeeper, 1 caged marked queen, bees pretty rowdy
*6 days ago - put package in top bar hive & hung queen, close to dark
*5 days ago - all bees back in the package to overnight, queen cage was being ignored by all but 2-3 bees. opened hive and shook the bees in.
*4 days ago - 11am & 5:30pm all bees piled out, flew like crazy, then went right back in. orientation flights i guess. freed the queen about 7:30pm...but she may have jetted! put a 6 - 3/16" hole 1/4" plywood queen excluder in place with an entrance feeder, big bees... stealth red light under hive inspection that night showed 2 clusters of bees.
*3 days ago - all bees left hive, hanging on the outside side and below at 6:30pm. thankfully i was coached to put them back inside! bees fanned like crazy as soon as i dumped the box of bees into the hive. after 90% went in, the rest just stopped going in and clustered underneath instead. before work at 5:30am i quietly put them back hive too, just in case the queen was in that batch.
*2 days ago - fairly normal, 8oz syrup consumed, hive seemed noisy, 2 separate clusters still hanging inside. all but a small cluster slept inside.
*1 day ago - fairly normal, tied bottom board under wire mesh to hold in queen's scent, assuming there's a queen. seemed a little noisy. 2 clusters. tiny cluster slept outside too.
*today - 11:45am wife says most bees hanging on front of hive and all over entrance feeder. then, clustering on side and underneath in afternoon. then, maybe half went back inside. tonight, a small cluster is outside and a 1.5 bee layer is between new bottom board and wire mesh floor. just 4 oz syrup was consumed today. definite fanning behavior observed.
no pollen on legs yet sighted. i can't see in underneath due to the solid wall of bees.
i just pulled the queen excluder, but i think i might reapply it before light tomorrow. do i have 2 queens? 0 queens? or 1 with a rebellious sub-group of bees? holy cow this is complicated. any thoughts are welcome. tomorrow's temps, 54 - 90 F. i just hope there are bees there when i return from work.
thanks to michael bush and all here!

City Engineer reveals new details of City Hall demolition plan
EL PASO, Texas - More details emerged Tuesday about the upcoming demolition of City Hall. The implosion is scheduled for two weeks from Sunday.
Perhaps the most important thing announced Tuesday was the perimeter, or exclusion zone, around the City Hall building that will be set up hours before the implosion.
City officials told members of City Council the entire demolition will take only eight seconds from the time the first blast goes off.
The exclusion zone will be blocked off between 6 and 8 a.m. Sunday, April 14, well before the scheduled 9 a.m. implosion.
Those who live within that area will not be asked to leave their apartments or homes. Officials have urged people to close their windows and turn off the air conditioners.
Ballpark project engineer Alan Shubert said streets around the exclusion zone could be reopened within a matter of minutes following the implosion.
Shubert said crews will wait until just before the demolition to close interstate 10 and the Bataan Memorial Trainway, which runs right next to City Hall.
City Manager Joyce Wilson said that with the Asarco smokestacks scheduled to come down the day before, it should be quite a weekend for El Pasoans.
"I don't think this community has had these kinds of demolitions, so that weekend is going to be pretty amazing," said Wilson.
Shubert said the public can watch from anywhere outside the exclusion zone, which consists of at least a 500-foot radius around the building.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|No rest for the wicked.
Hi Big Spoon. :-)
Yeah.....travel for work has been almost constant since November of last year. I am just now home having an office week. I'm drained.
The pictures are especially difficult with this set up. The plants I have growing out of the top are pretty waxy-ish and reflect a lot of light. So, it makes it almost impossible to get both the top part and aquatic parts to look good and show up in the same photo. I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'll be able to get enough rest this week to get my energy up and take new photos and post them.
Holy cow, you're still alive! Hope all's well with you these days. Got any pics of the "new" setup? I haven't seen any for quite a while.
Big Spoon
Thanks Betta and Sean. I suppose that if I had added everything up during the setup's various peak times, I probably could have made a nice profit on it, if I had sold it all. Shipping is just such a pain in the butt that I rarely did it.
Sean: the set up I had prior to this one (in the same tank) was a high-growth, high-color system, so I wanted to try something a bit different when I set the tank up again. I was looking for a new challenge, so I tried to think out of the box, literally.
|Sean W.
|Really is amazing, I feel as tho this is the next step after planted tanks. I think I could evolve to either keeping a reef tank, or doing something like this.

These photos are even more detailed than my own eyes can see lol! Beautiful tank
Hi Hachi,
Thank you. I have not started a new thread for it. At this rate, I'm not sure I am going to.
Val: thank you very much! I don't believe that I attempted that orchid. Though there was plenty of moisture, the humidity in my home during the winter goes way down. It had a tendency to kill most of the orchid species. The lighting, too, would dry things out, or simply be too much for most of the orchids to handle.
|Wow, from what I saw, your tank was beautiful. Did you ever try to keep Dendrophylax lindenii (ghost orchid) in your aquarium? I was reading up on them and it seems like they like lots of water and very stagnant air.
|Very excited to see your new set up! Have you started a thread for it yet?
That's a loaded question, NetCode. I think, primarily, I learned how to add another dimension to a set up by growing plants above the waterline as a riparium. Not that it hadn't been done before, but it was certainly something that I hadn't attempted until then. I was also able to learn how to reach an equilibrium between the plants above and below the water's surface. Being published in two different hobbyist magazines was an honor, but I learned the type of hard work that it takes to achieve that. I also learned what it took to keep that type of setup going successfully, and to know what that required for fertilization, algae issues, water changes, etc. Perhaps most importantly, I learned to be patient with a setup....that all aquarium setups come with both general and unique issues to that setup, and that problems and issues can be resolved through patience, rational thinking, and persistence.
MTS, in this context, means "Mineralized Top Soil." MTS is also used for Malaysian Trumpet Snails, but you can figure out which one fits based on the context of the article. Dogfish makes/made the best, and I knew that it would be easier for me to buy it off of him, than to try to make a batch on my own. I often travel for my job, and don't have the time or the resources to make MTS on my own. There are directions out there to make your own MTS, and it works very well for growing plants. Aaron Talbot has a good recipe on APC.com, and there are likely similar ones here on TPT.
I also add my own additions to substrate. A bottom, thin layer of plain kitty litter and peat granules seem to do very well at providing the type of iron heavy root feeders need, such as crypts and sword species, but really, any plant that sends out roots into the substrate will benefit, even if they receive most of their nutrient uptake directly from the water column. Root tabs are great to add in as well, and I think that if you could find some root tabs that add a source of clay to the substrate, your plants will take on a new dimension. Or, simply start over, and add a small layer of plain, cheap kitty litter, if you want (easier said than done, of course!).
|crazydaz: That is a logical explanation, and a good one. Three years is certainly a long time to have a tank running, I think you achieved stability. What do you think was the biggest/most significant thing you learned from the previous scape? I am always interested in the learning process, and what triggered it. In setting up my new tank, with two previous setups under my belt, the most significant thing I learned was the importance of a good substrate. I made the same mistake again and used plain gravel due to cost, hoping that enough root tabs would do the job, but it just doesn't. I am curious, what exactly is the MTS you used in the previous scape? I thought it meant trumpet snails, but it seems like you used MTS in reference to your substrate from DogFish?
[QUOTE=crazydaz;9421417]Thanks AJA and Scuba. New journal should be up in the next week or two, depending on my travel for work. Scuba, I'd be happy to help you with a new set up, if you would like some pointers or advice, which you are absolutely free to take or refuse as you wish.
I appreciate that! When I finally get the size tank I want, I will be hitting you up!

TLyons: you know me! :-) I enjoy flirting with hobbyists.
Netcode: Certainly, I suppose that there is a note of "melancholy" to tearing down a set up that was doing well in favor of a new one, and I can understand how you feel. The money involved comes and goes, and though I have certainly spent a bit of fair coin to get the items and species I felt would improve the set up and help it reach its potential, I also have made a nice sum over the years by selling plants. I have given plenty of items away as well, which brings a nice sense of satisfaction, or made trades. If it's worth doing, then it's worth spending money on, within reasonable limits. For me, it's less about the sense of pride in reaching a goal; rather, it is more about the learning process and experimentation that drives me. This last set up had been going for three years. I had gleamed a lot of information from doing it and satisfied a lot of curiosities I had, and as "stability" was one of those goals I had set for myself, I felt that had been accomplished, and it was time to try something new, and continue the journey towards other things. I will try to push myself to accomplishing additional wisdom with this next "scape" and to learn from my mistakes. I would imagine that this next set up will probably have to last 3-5 years.
However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying your work. Don't misinterpret what I am saying. You should keep your set up for as long as you wish, and I wish you continued success with it! For me, it's hard to stay still when there is so much more I feel I need to learn about the hobby. I enjoy "getting in there" and seeing what else I can do or not do. It's more relaxing to work on the tank than it is to sit down and look at it, and so when there is not much more that I can do, it's time to move on, and try a new or different approach.
|I was browsing through the first 56 pages looking at your tank with the manzi branches sticking out and was absolutely blown away. I got to about page 14 and said, I wonder what the final product looks like. So I flipped to the last page to see you tore it down and are starting a brand new scape. I am surprised, the money you must have spent on the first one must have been outrageous, and to think of all the rare plants you sourced. Then to tear it down!? :O woweeee. I have a 60 gallon (I have a tank journal going on now, however it is no where near the scale of yours and I am super amateur) and I am only using common plants and whatever rock/wood I can find for free yet I am super attached to it. Thinking of tearing it down would kill me. I don't know how you do it! I am super interested to see what you come up with this time because last time it was mind blowing. Good luck!

text: Watching the other NFC East teams play, and recalling how poorly the Giant's offensive line and defense played makes it clear this will be a down year for the Giants. The Redikins beat the Giants twice last year with Rex as QB....yesterday Rex wasn't even active and it would appear the Giants will have no answer for RG III with their non-existent pass rush and awful secondary. On top of that Arakpo is gong to be knocking Eli around like a pinball with the turnstile offensive line the Giants have......The Eagles offense and defense is even better and deeper than the Redskins..........looks like 4th place in the NFC East and a top 10 draft choice.....which might be a blessing in disguise as the offensive line needs to be blown up and re-built.....and the worst part of all is the Jets have a better offense than the Giants now.

Excellent garage with great customer service. Will defo use again.
Patrick came to pick the car up, we discussed the repair that the car needed along with a few other things I've noticed. He went away and completed the job in good time, returned the car with no issues. Repair was a good standard and the handling is perfect now, the other issues he checked for free and advised on what may need doing in the future. What more could you ask of your mechanic? I will use Patrick & Automotive Components Specialists in the future, 10/10.
Patrick was upfront and gave honest advice. He arranged to have the car picked up and dropped it off himself. The work was completed quickly and the car is sounding much better now. Thanks!
My local garage was trying to charge me a fortune for A DMF and clutch for my Skoda Octavia .So I thought I'd do some research and ended up on this website .The First person to quote was Patrick and from then on it was a pleasure dealing with him .I never even saw his garage in Enfield ,he picked my car up for free in Kilburn and had it back within 24 hrs completed .This guy lives ,eats and breathes cars ..especially clutches I think ! He answered all my questions and I got a really good price and also new front shock absorbers and a years warranty on parts and labour .Check out all his awards -I'll definitely recommend him to everyone David (Kilburn )
excellent service very quick and honest would highly recommend. Patrick is very helpful and friendly .
Provided me with a full service on my Range Rover. A really friendly and helpful company who i would highly recommend to anyone.
It took a few attempts to get the job completed. Its not perfect, but I'm happy with the outcome.
I would highly recommend this garage for excellent service. Just picked up my car and it drives like new. Honesty policy .. everything that he changed the old parts were shown. I had a little rattle on the car that no longer exists, one bulb was changed and he didn't charge for it. Engine compartment was cleaned and treated. Glad I've found a mechanic I can trust. Already given his business cards to my neighbours. The price I paid for the service and all the extra work I requested.... was the same as the quote. I'm a Very Happy Customer. Thank You.
A reliable and honest repair center. The garage kept me informed of the progress of my car. The staff are very knowledgeable of cars and their customer services skills are excellent. Keep up the good work and I have recommend this garage to family and friends as the service is excellent .
Brilliant job, used best quality parts, perfect workmanship and friendly and efficient staff. Will definitely use again.
Good garage, they managed to source the part within the day and fix my air-con on the next day within less than 2 hours on the price of the quote. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and very transparent on the way they work. Although it's a small garage and doesn't appeal to the eye when you first arrive I'm very happy with them and would definitely recommend.
Great work, will be going back if need anything.
I have given my feedback directly to ivy at galaxy autos
100% Happy . Genuine business and professional . Returned on the day quoted and the clutch is smooth . Ivy and the mechanics are a good team delivering good service at a genuine price . Would use again and would also highly recommend them
Great job was done. Highly recommended.

Car failed MOT with some minor issues and needed a few things touching up, outside of that, which Roberto was happy to accommodate. Also identified an issue with a wheel bearing. Was kept informed on progress and price the whole way in a timely manner, very pleasant guys to deal with. Will be returning in a few months to investigate possible worsening of play on the passenger side front suspension.
Kyle was really supportive and provided a detailed diagnosis
Polite, professional, quick, and excellent communication. Would definitely use again.
A great garage with excellent customer service. I brought my 1990 Range Rover along with a replacement exhaust all boxed up ready to be put on, these guys did a great job and worked around me in terms of looking after the car until I could collect it. Explained everything on the phone, were very thorough - couldn't recommend them enough! Great little gem in London.

Son accused of killing father in Brunswick
Murder charge filed against David Weil, accused of stabbing his father to death
BRUNSWICK, Mo. - A small town is struggling to understand how a family fight ended with one man dead this weekend.
It happened in Brunswick in Chariton County, about an hour and a half northwest of Columbia.
The family reached out to ABC 17 News Sunday, but asked to not be identified.
The family said David Weil, 26, killed his father, John Piper, by stabbing him to death just after midnight Saturday outside his home at 508 Keyte Street. Weil changed his name from David Moody before he moved to Missouri.
The family said police found Weil at his girlfriend's house in a neighboring town after she called the police.
On Monday, the Chariton County prosecutor charged Weil with second-degree murder and armed criminal action. He is being held on a $1 million cash-only bond.
One relative of John Piper said Piper, 45, had invited his son to live in Missouri to help him out after he was released from the Kansas Department of Corrections early last year.
The family told ABC 17 News that Weil has spent most of his adult life in prison and has caused problems in the family since he moved here. ABC 17 News found Weil's criminal record from Kansas dates back to 2008 that listed five pages of charges.
The Chariton County prosecuting attorney said Weil was due in court on Nov. 22 for two assault charges that happened on Sept. 28. He is accused of beating a man so badly, the man had to have reconstructive surgery at University Hospital. He also allegedly assaulted a female that lived with the male victim.
His bond was set at $50,000, but Weil asked a judge to lower it. The judge reduced it to $25,000, allowing Weil to post bond and be released on Oct. 9.
The family says they are shocked that the judge allowed the bond reduction, but the county prosecutor said he had no idea about Weil's criminal history because of the name change.
Family members said they are mourning the loss of a very important person in their lives and they don't understand how a son could kill his father.
The Brunswick Police Department, Chariton County Sheriff's Department and Missouri State Highway Patrol all investigated the case.

Marching Toward Justice exhibit featured at Congressional Black Caucus Conference
DETROIT (Sept. 10, 2010) – The Marching Toward Justice: The History of the 14th Amendment exhibit will be featured at the Congressional Black Caucus' (CBC) 40th annual Legislative Conference Sept. 15-18 in Washington, D.C.
The Marching Toward Justice exhibit was created by the Damon J. Keith Law Collection of African American Legal History to inform the public about the fundamental importance of the 14th Amendment and our nation's ongoing quest to realize the high ideals of the Declaration of Independence. It tells the story of our government's promotion of justice and equality for some, while condoning the enslavement of others.
"The question of how the precepts of the 14th Amendment fit into the democratic ideals of the Constitution remains a critical issue of historical and contemporary significance given recent challenges to the Amendment's continued relevance," said I. India Geronimo, director of the Keith Collection and former law clerk to the Hon. Damon J. Keith.
The exhibit coincides with a panel discussion that will be held on Sept. 17, in room 145B of the Washington Convention Center. Part of the CBC conference, the panel discussion will focus on the historical significance of the fight for equality and the continued importance of preserving the 14th Amendment. It will be co-hosted by Congressman John Conyers Jr., '58, and the Keith Collection to commemorate the exhibit's display. Distinguished panelists include Brown v. Board of Education attorney and former U.S. Secretary of Transportation William T. Coleman, former chairwoman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Mary Frances Berry, Howard University Law School Dean Kurt L. Schmoke, Harvard University Professors Charles Ogletree and Kenneth W. Mack, Ohio State University Professor Michelle Alexander, and Laura Murphy of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. Political commentator Juan Williams of NPR and Fox News will serve as the moderator.
Since the inaugural exhibition at the Thurgood Marshall Law Center in Washington, D.C., Marching Toward Justice has traveled to more than 30 sites including destinations in San Francisco, Chicago, Topeka, Boston, Dallas, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Please contact Geronimo at (313) 334-3919 or email@example.com for more information or to schedule the Marching Toward Justice exhibit in your community.

[Article]-Insider`s View of Certified Expert Penetration Tester (CEPT)
Permanent Link: [Article]-Insider`s View of Certified Expert Penetration Tester (CEPT)
When approaching security industry luminaries over the course of the last year about the CEPT certification, the typical first response I have received is usually quite blunt: "Oh great", "YET ANOTHER CERTIFICATION. Just what the security industry needs". And, to this point, I do have to agree, the security industry does not need another certification that:
- Tests a basic level of knowledge of INFOSEC subjects (ala the CISSP, SECURITY+, SCNP, ad infinitum.)
- Only tests the ability to regurgitate memorized information over a 2-6 hour time period
- Is easily compromised by cheaters downloading actual exam questions for $59.90 from "teh interwebs"
- Or, even worse, cheaters that cheat the exam cheater companies by pirating a copy of exam questions from bittorrent
All of this results in a large group of people that have achieved a specific certification, but, in reality, have no real understanding of the subjects tested OR, more importantly, the ability to perform job duties that the certification is CERTIFYING in the first place!
Add your thoughts about the CEPT certification and its examination process,
NOTE: In the interest of full disclosure, ChicagoCon, presented by The Ethical Hacker Network, is offering this course for the 2008s event. The IACRB is an educational sponsor and the InfoSec Institute is a Partner of the event.

Cockroach Cleansing
The emerald cockroach wasp Ampulex compressa is a parasitoid, which infects and ultimately kills its host. After its eggs are laid on a cockroach, the larvae develop inside the host, feeding on its internal organs. Cockroaches are notorious vectors of putrefactive or pathogenic microbes, and researchers wondered how the wasp larvae overcome such a nasty set of organisms. They first tested whether American cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) commonly harbor microbes that pose a risk to wasp larvae. The most abundant microbe inhabiting the cockroaches was the bacterium Serratia marcescens, which causes rapid infection and fatality in insects. The team then demonstrated that an oral secretion from the wasp larvae was an effective antimicrobial against S. marcescens. They chemically identified this secretion and showed that it was only present in cockroaches infected with the wasps. Thus, the larvae sanitized their host before devouring it.

Memory Back-Up
Previous studies indicated that an enzyme called protein kinase M-ζ (PKM-ζ) was instrumental to long-term memory; inhibiting this enzyme's activity by injection with zeta inhibitory peptide (ZIP) caused memory loss, and adding the enzyme improved memory. However, the hypothesis that PKM-ζ is necessary for memory has been debunked: Two studies independently showed that transgenic mice lacking a functional copy of the gene that produces PKM-ζ showed normal synaptic performance and had no shortfalls in learning and memory tasks. ZIP inhibited memory even in these so-called knockout mice. These studies led to the conclusion that the effects of ZIP are independent of PKM-ζ and that memory does not depend on the activity of a single crucial enzyme.

Dead Meat Biology
Methods of monitoring wild animals are often not affordable or practical. A past study showed that extracting DNA from leeches' blood meals could be a cheaper method to identify a region's mammalian biodiversity. This research served as a springboard for a new study to explore using DNA isolated from carrion flies (families Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae) for the same purpose, because such flies feed on open wounds or dead animals and are easily collected. Researchers showed that 40 percent of 115 carrion flies caught in Taï National Park of Côte d'Ivoire and Kirindy Forest of Madagascar contained amplifiable mammalian DNA. Leeches and blood-feeding insects such as mosquitoes have feeding preferences that bias samples. But despite a modest sample size, a wide array of mammalian taxa—including rare, elusive species—were identified using DNA from carrion fly meals. The flies therefore are an important source of mammalian DNA for ecological studies.

New Martian Meteorite
Found in Morocco in 2011, the meteorite dubbed Northwest Africa (NWA) 7034 is unique among the 110 known Martian meteorites collected on Earth. It is similar to basalts from the surface of Mars measured by NASA's orbiter and lander missions. Although all these meteorites share some geochemical properties that indicate their Martian origin, previously collected meteorites differed in elemental composition from NWA 7034 and from rover samples of rock. For example, NWA 7034 is abundant in the alkali elements potassium and sodium, similar to basalts from the surface of Mars but unlike the other Martian meteorites known to date. NWA 7034 also contained about 10 times greater amounts of extraterrestrial water bound into the rock than did the other meteorites, suggesting that the rock formed at a time when the planet was wetter. And NWA 7034 is about 2 billion years old, much older than most of the other meteorites, which are 200 to 400 million years old. Researchers have proposed that NWA 7034 be classified separately from other known Martian meteorites.

Absolutely Negative
In the mid-1800s, Lord Kelvin postulated that nothing could be colder than the temperature of absolute zero degrees, when all atomic particles are at rest. But in the mid-20th century, physicists realized that the mathematics governing absolute temperature indicated that subzero temperatures were possible and, soon after that, they were demonstrated. Recently, the first subzero Kelvin temperatures were achieved for particles in motion. Temperature depends on the kinetic and potential energies of atoms and on the interactions between them. By using an optical lattice of laser beams, atoms could still move, but their kinetic and potential energies were held in check. Researchers controlled interactions between the atoms with magnetic fields. This discovery has implications for technology, because negative temperatures could result in more efficient heat engines, and for cosmology, because negative temperatures may explain properties of dark energy.

I am seriously so pumped up about going to that new stadium. I have some unbelievable seats on the home side of the stadium. I plan on making the most of my 4 days over there.

haha whats in the plans?
Well we do fly into Newark on thatThursday before the game.On that Friday, the lady piece has all of this tourist **** set up since this is her first time there. Empire State Building, WTC, and a tour bus. Ya know, the usual. Friday night that all should wrapped up by then. So Friday and Saturday nights are all open for business. I know you have something in the works of course
[/quote]
haha we'll see whose around sat because lando ain't here so it changes the dynamic a lil bit. But maybe we'll just grab dinner or something. Friday we'll get down and booze it up. I like to be fresh for my tailgates lol.

News clip. Mao 3A, Men SP drawing, Dai's new SP costume: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkH8ewHENKE
What I am love about Mao this season is she looks healthy and seems always happy to be on ice.
Just look at 0:57 in this vid clip how thin and fragile she appeared at last season's 4CC...
I am glad she plans to go for harder/aggressive jump layout here. Trial and error. A win or lose, falls or no falls, you can't get anything unless you go for it at all, you know. Mao may crash and burn at the end of the day. But still not the end of the world. Gooo Mao!
Last edited by deedee1; 02-08-2013 at 03:04 AM.
hope Mao will prove alot of people wrong, Go Mao
Just a theoratical question regarding the jump layout: If Mao plans to do 8 triples but for example misses the 3a and instead doubles it in her performance, she would have to leave out another planned triple, right?
According to fsu, Mao's layout is 3Lo, 3A, 3F-3Lo, 3Lz, 2A-3T, 3S, 3F-2Lo-2Lo. This is absolutely crazy and she probably will have some problems with the jumps but the prospect of landing them at some point is exciting! It's good she kept her 3Loop as an opening jump. This should quiet some critics IMO. She really tries to regain her old form. I'm not sure she's gonna make it but trying it proves once again she has the heart of a champion.

When someone can't wait to find a worthy girlfriend of boyfriend so instead, so they can fill the void quickly, they take whoever is available. This process is known as "taking the drive-thru."
Sister is tired of dating losers but she's not willing to wait around to meet someone worthy. She has to have a relationship at all times. She was doing good saying she was going to wait to meet someone who was right for her, but then she got lonely and this guy who liked her kept calling her. She ended up taking the drive-thru and now he's her boyfriend. She doesn't even really like him but she couldn't wait and took the Mc Ds Relationship route again.

ok, so I'm mostly done with the harness... I ended up cutting the pack part, off of an old backpack, leaving me just the back and attaching some keyclips in a V in the top middle, then I added some D rings on nylon webbing to the jet pack through some slots, and in addition I also added some zip ties to those slots too since I seem to have overestimated how long the webbing should be. Anyways, tomorrow I need to go to home depot to get some 1/4" washers, and some grommets so I can attach a lower belt to the pack to stabilize it and keep it straight on my back, and eventually add a us divers buckle to. Hard to believe I managed this with absolutely NO sewing :) :lol
It'll be good enough for a upcoming troop this weekend, I plan to eventually make a better one after I figure out how to fix my Mom's old sewing machine or just buy a new one(and have more free time)
here's a few pics to give you an idea, and yes, I will need people to put this on me because I tried to do it myself and nearly choked myself to death

We must go back to the Moon and finish what we started.
Why is going back to the Moon with humans important? To answer this we have to look at why we went there in the first place. It's been 40 years since we last put a foot on another planet and we've not set foot anywhere since. It's well known that the driver for the Apollo programme was a Cold War race, but a lesser-known fact is that there was initially a serious scientific purpose behind it.Nasa's original reason to go to the Moon was to read the missing pages of the geological book on our planet, where very few rocks go back much beyond the Cambrian. But with the Moon there is a complete record of the bombardment period and further back. And this was the scientific reason upon which the proposition of sending men to the Moon was founded. But that was soon forgotten as it became simply about beating the Russians, which we know happened in the subsequent missions that landed 12 men on the Moon.
Mars is the real deal now.
Do we need to go to the Moon first, as some of the Apollo moon-walkers suggest, and set up a base there? Or do we just focus on Mars and forget about going back to the Moon? Some of the astronauts I talk to say there is a benefit in going back to the Moon, while others say it is a waste of money because we only have limited resources and this will delay our attempts on Mars. Buzz Aldrin has proposed a Mars Cycler that will relay between the two planets, taking about five months to complete a single journey. His only question is: what are we waiting for? Mars is the real deal. This is where we will get our 21st Century rocket heroes, our new Neil Armstrong and our new Buzz Aldrin.
13 November 2012 01:11 AM
For & against debates are great, I love them, they help me & like minded people crystallise and refine our opinions, they are especially effective in the world of science where what is left standing is probably true.
BUT in the field of human endeavour, politics or even deciding which film to watch together, many prefer a less adversarial approach to the discussion. So how about we make lots & lots of moon rovers and send these robots on cheap one way missions to do the moon science that still needs doing, especially on the far (not dark!!) side. In the process, how about constructing a comms network & solar energy energy robot recharge grid. Then when we are really good at the remote construction technologies, the experience will be invaluable to transfer to Mars making it safe, healthy and comfortable for people to follow. A spin-off benefit would be the fertile material for Sci-Fi authors.
Incidentally, does anyone know why Curiosity's rocket crane was crashed rather than landed at safe distance away? The parts could have been useful later (OK much later!) or curiosity could simply learn more about the ageing of mission materials in the Martian atmosphere without the crash complicating things. Maybe it was a crater excavation exercise, anyhow if it has not already happened, Curiosity should visit what is left of big brother (regularly?) and send us a diary entry.
06 December 2012 10:48 AM
On the subject of the skycrane I believe it came down to Fuel - it didn't carry enough due to weight restraints for a controlled landing so the only real option was to fire the thrusters enough so it would clear the landing site and crash somewhere where it wouldn't damage the rover. In the end they actually had a lot more fuel left than they had planned for so maybe it was a possibility but a landing capability just hadn't been designed in.
Interesting to note that NASA are now planning Curisoty MKII built on the same platform but with different/uprated instrumentation and that given the lifespan of the RTG in Curiosity there is actually a chance that the two rovers could meet! Also would be fun, although massively unlikely due to distances, if curiosity could meet spirit, opportunity or sojourner.

text: let me relate my Bill Heard experience for your pleasure. i went down on jun 27 intending to buy my Colorado i had looked at it on their web site and had seen that this particular one had all the equipment which i requie. upon entering the dealership i met my salesman Boris Martinez who asked me what kind of car i was looking for. I told him a colorado z-71 crew cab and gave him the stock number of the truck from the dealers web site. he went to try and find it and was unsuccessful until i started walking around the showrrom and found the truck on the showrrom floor in a spot he had walked past 6 times going to the sales managers office. his next act of stupidity was wanting me to fill out a credit app BEFORE WE EVEN TEST DROVE THE TRUCK. next came the test drive when he did not know his product ie it has a 3.8l v6?, and coudn't figure out the onstar controls. Finally we began to deal.....at 12:40pm i told him i would give x-much for the truck, i would accept x-much for the trade, and wouldn't put anything down......at 8:25pm he finally came back with the deal that i laid out and we moved to the F&I manager. after a short wait we began to sign the papers. reviewing the contract i noticed that the purchase price was higher than what we discussed and there was a warranty that was not discussed on my contract. oh that's just a typo Harry St.Clair told me. BS i told him fix it and reprint it now or good bye. then i was asked to sign a blank contract and offer sheet "in case we can get you a better deal thru another finance company" after informing him i was born at night not last night we than left, after a 2 hr wait in the make-ready dept, where they not only couldn't find a second set of keys but forgot to put the drive out tag on the truck. so at 12:50 am on jun 28 we left for home. on the late morning of jun 28 i got online to change my insurance. this is when i learned that the F&I guy didn't put a copy of the contract into the paperwork envelope and that according to them we had just taken a spot delivery of the truck pending financing. I never would have taken a spot had it been represented as such. so i had to drive another 25 miles over to Bill Heard and demand my trade back until the deal was concluded. 2 more visits were neccessary to complete this deal. and finally on July 1 it was final and we took it home. on July 4 we still don't have second set of keys"we have them by the time your plates come in". I am just waiting for my GM customer survey to come in now. in short under no circumstances ever go to BILL HEARD CHEVROLET IN SUGARLAND,TEXAS and if someone you care about plans to WARN THEM AWAY. you will be doing them the greatest favor you have ever done them.:grrrrrr:

Where can I get or how can I make some Armor pearicing 12ga for my slug gun.Delete this if I am breaking a rule or law.Just a thought.
don't know if 12g has enough ass for armor piercing...???? kinda the same as armor piercing muzzle loader....??
You may want to just stick with BUCKSHOT?
Saw some slug 12Ga on AMMOMAN.
I saw something on you tube a couple weeks ago on new 12ga military rounds.HE,Armor pearcing,etc.Kinda like scaled down rounds for the M79/M203. At the fun shows in Ohio a vender sells drilled out 12ga foster slugs to incert a 209 primer?I guess were walking on thin ice here. No more real bird bombs,just noise makers.
Yeah, the HE round is in use now from what I have heard along with the new shotty, the AA-12.
This is one bad mutha, but the Saiga still beats it when it comes to cyclical fire(and the saiga is semi auto)
We all know that when it comes to stocking up on ammo and supplies, you are most likely and probably relying on defending your home and staying put there(because it would be impossible to haul around a ton of ammo food and water)
What is the best way to cache or store ammo? Where to stash it from prying eyes? Same with water and food?
Someone earlier made a suggestion that these supplies be "buried" or kept in "sectional incrememnts" for easier access. I would also think that if someone found one of the stashes, your whole supply would not be lost?
I dont have a basement( a true basement) but I do have an attic and a newer poly shed in the woods behind my home.
Also, ammo cans-how well will they actually keep and preserve ammo from moisture?
Would dessicant gel packets work in conjunction with these containers to keep ammo dry and functional?
My bad, the last two posts were supposed to be under a new title in this section.
The forums "posting" system is acting up again....!!!!!!!!!
Upgrayedd, it sounds like you got a lot of sleep last night.
OK, so I have:
2,500 .22lr rds
1,100 7.62x39
1,000 .17 rds
150 .45acp rds
100 12 ga buckshot rds
50 12 ga slug loads
75 12 ga assorted shot size
3,000 .177 pellets
.357 sig 1 box( I do not own a .357 sig)
9mm 1 box( I do not own a 9mm)
.223 1 box( I do not own a .223)
I'm working on increasing the .45 acp and the 12 ga 00bk loads. Once I pump those numbers up a bit, I'll work on getting a few more ammo cans and I'll feel alot better....

DEKALB, Ill. (March 15, 2000) -— For the first time, scientists have discovered skeletal parts of an extinct primate that documents an early phase in the evolution of monkeys, apes, and humans. In an article published today in the prestigious British journal Nature, the team of American and Chinese paleontologists describe fossilized foot bones of Eosimias, an early higher primate that lived about 45 million years ago in China. "We have the first unambiguous evidence that is able to bridge the anatomical gap between lower and higher primates," said paleontologist Dan Gebo, a professor of anthropology at Northern Illinois University and lead author of the Nature article. Gebo's co-authors are Marian Dagosto of Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago; K. Christopher Beard of Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh; and Qi Tao and Wang Jingwen of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing. Previously, paleontologists had found only jaws and teeth of Eosimias, a primitive tree-dwelling primate about the size of the smallest living monkeys. Because of the scanty anatomical evidence available for Eosimias prior to today's report, leading paleoanthropologists had been divided on the issue of exactly where Eosimias fits on the primate family tree. Some prominent scientists even doubted that Eosimias was a primate at all. But the new evidence, consisting of multiple ankle bones from sites in central and eastern China, confirms that Eosimias is a very primitive member of the lineage that today includes monkeys, apes and humans. "The most interesting aspect of these new foot bones is that they represent a mosaic," Gebo said. "They possess primitive lower-primate features as well as several advanced or higher-primate characteristics. No other fossil primate in the Eocene has this interesting combination." Co-author Christopher Beard said the latest discovery is important because it helps fill a major gap in the fossil record of humans and their nearest relatives. "I hate to use the term 'missing link' because it's such a cliche, but these fossils really do fill a wide gap that previously separated higher primates, also known as anthropoids, from their prosimian relatives," said Beard, who coordinates the American side of the joint Sino-American expeditions that resulted in new fossil discoveries. Living anthropoids include monkeys, apes and humans. Living prosimians include lemurs, bush babies, lorises and tarsiers. The evolutionary origin of higher primates has stymied paleontologists and primatologists for decades, because so little was known regarding the ancestral anthropoid lineage until recently. Modern primates possess a variety of anatomical adaptations for moving through their environment--usually the trunks and branches of trees in tropical and subtropical forests. Many prosimians are renowned for their ability to leap and cling to vertical tree trunks, while monkeys tend to walk on all fours on the tops of branches. The anatomy of the fossilized ankle bones of Eosimias show that this animal already preferred walking quadrupedally on the tops of branches like living monkeys. In addition to verifying that Eosimias is an early higher primate, the new fossils help settle a longstanding debate about where the anthropoid lineage arose on the primate family tree. Previously, there were three main hypotheses regarding the nearest relatives of anthropoids. Based on similarities in the anatomy of their teeth, some scientists have argued that anthropoids evolved from the lemur-like adapids. Genetic similarities and the anatomy of living primates lead other scientists to believe that living and fossil tarsiers are the nearest evolutionary cousins of anthropoids. A third hypothesis accepts an evolutionary relationship between anthropoids and tarsiers, but posits that the split between these two lineages is very ancient, dating to at least 55 million years ago. The new ankle bones of Eosimias are similar to those of anthropoids and fossil omomyids, a group widely believed to be extinct relatives of tarsiers. "The oldest known skeletal remains of a higher primate are inconsistent with the view that monkeys, apes and humans evolved from the lemur-like adapids," Beard said, "but they support a close evolutionary relationship between anthropoids and tarsiers." Scientists recovered the fossils from a commercial limestone quarry about 100 miles west of Shanghai and from a locality in Shanxi Province (China), along the Yellow River, about 350 miles southeast of Beijing. The location of the discovery also is significant, the researchers say. "Most scientists in my field believe that if the ancestor of anthropoid primates is to be found then it should come from Africa," Gebo said. "Thus, the bones of Eosimias are important, as is its unusual location (Asia)." The new fossils were recovered during a series of expeditions organized by scientists from Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology & Paleoanthropology in Beijing.

Inaugural Celebrate Science Indiana Fort Wayne Event Engages Public
Approximately 300 parents, teachers, and youth interacted with over 25 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) exhibits at the inaugural Celebrate Science Indiana (CSI) Fort Wayne event held in the Walb Classic Ballroom on Saturday, September 7th. Robots throwing frisbees through targets, interacting with large and small reptiles, vacuum cannons, lightning generators, building towers, constructing Lego structures, and chemical eruptions were just some of the ongoing occurrences at the event. Exhibitors from organizations across northeast Indiana brought their wares to promote a variety of STEM programs and offerings. Even IPFW Chancellor Carwein joined in on the hands-on learning as she was seen touching snakes and taking a respite on a bed of nails. "This is the first time we've hosted an event with such a variety of STEM exhibitors at IPFW, and based on their positive comments we look forward to holding another one next year." stated Dr. Jeff Nowak the Director of NISTEM and associate professor in the College of Education and Public Policy (CEPP) at IPFW. A teacher who brought a bus load of children commented, "This is so wonderful! Thank you for inviting us!" Look for this event to reoccur in the Fall of 2014!

Family of slain Ft. Hood soldier pleads for Purple Heart
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Purple Heart medals may not be awarded to the victims of the 2009 Fort Hood massacre.
13 people were killed and 32 people were wounded that day when a gunman open fired on an army base.
Now the Pentagon says those victims should not receive purple hearts.
News 5 spoke with parents of a local solider killed at Fort Hood about what the decision means to them.
It's been three-and-a-half years since Army Spc. Fred Greene of Mountain City, Tennessee was gunned down and killed in Fort Hood Texas.
His parents, Rob and Karen Nourse still grieve his loss every day.
"The mornings are hard," said Karen. "Evenings are harder," Rob Nourse added.
Now, this pain is multiplied.
A report from the Pentagon claims the Department of Defense does not support awarding Fort Hood's slain soldiers a Purple Heart on the basis of keeping a fair trial for the accused killer Major Nidal Hasan, and sticking to the traditional criteria of the medal, which does not include domestic criminal acts or domestic terrorism.
"I'm just disappointed in the administration all around and how they've done this and how they've just shoved this underneath the rug," Rob told News 5.
The Nourses told us they don't agree with the Pentagon's position.
"He died as a soldier being a soldier at work as a soldier," Karen Nourse said.
In fact, the couple told me, Spc. Greene may have even tried to stop the alleged killer in his tracks.
"Fred was shot 12 times. [That's] more than anybody else," said Karen Nourse. "He was in a position you would be in if you were going to tackle somebody."
To the Nourses, awarding the Purple Heart medal is the right way to remember those, like their son, who died defending freedom for us all.
That's why they're writing letters to officials in hopes of changing minds.
"If this happened to your child, would you let this happen? I would say, no," said Rob Nourse.
And until that happens, they will continue pleading for an honor they said their American hero rightly deserves.
"He [Spc. Greene] would be disappointed in that organization that he stood so strong and tall for. That's why I will not stop talking and pushing until something different is done," said Karen Nourse.
We reached out to the Department of Defense for a comment and were told they are committed to the integrity of the ongoing court martial proceedings of Major Hasan, and for that reason, they will not discuss the incident.

I'm just starting Beekeeping this Spring and am so excited!
The hive arrives this week and the bees the first week of May.
Actually, my father and I are sharing a hive.
We (as a family: my Aunt and Uncle as well as my grandparents) will have three hives. We are all new to this and are taking a Beekeeping class together as of now.
I'm so glad to be meeting other Beekeepers on this forum.
Enjoy your evening, everyone!

In remembrance of Kiwi troops and their ship-shape boots, Justin Newcombe creates vintage-looking storage for his shoeshine kit.
A national symbol derived from boot polish?
It's true, that's where the term Kiwi comes from. In an age when being racy was changing the name of the mainland from the Middle Island to the South Island, an Australian boot polish manufacturer with a Kiwi wife was the supplier of choice for the troops of the British Empire's most southern reaches. No doubt the chaps of old Blighty believed their polish - like their rugby teams and battle tactics - were superior to anything else on Earth, but British troops on the ground were a little more pragmatic. Looking after your feet in the face of hell might seem a bit trivial but sore feet were not acceptable grounds for sitting the next one out. So boot maintenance was as important as weapon maintenance. Requests for the little tin of polish became associated with Anzac troops, especially New Zealanders, and somehow we've been Kiwis ever since.
Although not life and death any more, keeping your boots in good working order is still important. Anybody who has spent time working in the mud during winter will attest to the misery of having wet feet all day. Even worse is pulling on wet boots from the day before.
Shoe maintenance has now moved well beyond a simple tin of polish, and with each new pair we buy for our kids some new cleaning method, tool or product is required. All these items need to be kept somewhere rather than just stuffed under the sink. So an old-fashioned shoe cleaning box seems like a good idea.
Of course Bunnings sells loads of different boxes, but with our national identity being so interwoven with clean boots and this being a time of remembrance, I thought a little boot memorial might be in order. For this project instead of nursing the timber carefully through the process to achieve a nice, new finish I've done quite the opposite. I want my box to look as old as possible. I've beaten the wood with a variety of tools including heavy drill bits, files, chain links and a meat cleaver and cut small grooves in the surface with a craft knife.
I decorated the box by painting symbols that reminded me of home, then sanded them back and finally gave the whole thing a good shellacking and a polish. And there you have it, one brand new, made-in-a-day antique box. Now instead of just once a year, I can say thanks every time I clean my boots .
Step 1
For the handle, soak a length (1m should be enough) of natural fibre rope in strong tea overnight.
Step 2
Measure and cut out pieces of timber. I used lengths of rimu but pine will do and you can do some interesting things with wood dye (ask the troops at Bunnings).
Step 3
Clamp and glue, or tape the pieces together then drill dowel holes to join the bottom and sides. Pour glue into the hole then tap in the dowel. The dowel should fit tightly but if it's too tight you could split the wood, so be careful. My hole is half a millimetre smaller than the dowel.
Step 4
Once the glue is dry, tidy up any spills or dribbles and beat the box using a variety of objects, then cut in a few small grooves with a craft knife.
Step 5
If you are using pine, stain the timber. Otherwise, paint your box with letters or symbols then sand them back using fine sandpaper.
Step 6
Shellac the box, let it dry then rub it down with some 000 steel wool. Repeat two or three times.
Step 7
Polish the box using an antique furniture polish. Make sure you get lots of polish into the dents and file marks so they stand out.
Step 8
Attach latches, hinges and the rope handle.

If you drop a frame of empty comb into a hive is there any rule of thumb on how long it takes the queen to find it and lay eggs in it?
If you drop a frame of empty comb into a hive is there any rule of thumb on how long it takes the queen to find it and lay eggs in it?
Well the bees have to clean it for her inspection before she will lay eggs.
Here's the deal.
I'm trying to get some eggs to raise some queens. I went thru two of my other hives and they are packed full of brood but no real good patches of eggs. I have four frames of empty drawn comb. I tried putting them into hives and rather than the queen laying in them they filled them with honey :-)
I pulled them out and am know letting the bees rob them and clean them up again, but don't want to put them back in and just have them fill them up with honey again. I've read about capturing the queen and locking her onto the frame using wire but I'd rather not go thru that if I don't have to.
I could just wait until the brood hatches and she lays another full frame, but I'd rather drop these in and know exactly when they went in and where they are rather than rooting around in 2-3 hives looking for a decent frame of eggs.
Try this:
Put the empty frame in the middle of the brood nest for two days, then check it. Remove one of the full brood frames to replace with the empty drawn one. Should have eggs by then, and you can swap the original frame back in (assuming you have a place to put it in the mean time -- another box, another hive, a nuc with bees, etc.).
Another thing to try is to cut a piece of foundation to leave points sticking down in a "W" shape in a frame. Put that frame in the brood nest of a hive which has a good queen -- again, in a couple days the bees should have drawn it enough to have the queen lay in it. They will convert the cells along the edge into queen cells when you put that frame into a queenless hive.
I'll try replacing some of the brood frames as you suggest. I replaced one with a little brood last time and maybe that's why they just decided to fill it up with honey.

Last Breath of Summer Foundation Fundraiser 2006
Last year's fundraiser for the Jersey City Free Public Library Foundation, Inc. proved to be so successful – and so much fun! – that P.J. Ryan's decided to host it again.
The Last Breath of Summer library foundation fundraiser was held on Thursday, September 7th at P.J. Ryan's on First Street in Downtown Jersey City.
The name is a play on words, combining this year's timing and last year's name, Summer Breeze, which was held earlier in the 2005 season (June).
"Library Foundation Treasurer Mike Ryan can be credited for that great stroke of creative marketing, in the event's name, as well as holding the fundraiser again in his establishment," said Library Director Priscilla Gardner, who also serves as executive director for the library foundation. "We are so grateful that Mike is one of our board members."
For that $20 ticket (which was the same low price as last year), partygoers got all the hot dogs, hamburgers, beer and wine they wanted, in an informal and friendly atmosphere, and with top-notch live musical entertainment – The Eamonn Ryan Band & Chaz DePaolo. All proceeds from the fundraiser benefited the purchase of a new, state-of-the-art, disabled accessible and ADA-compliant Bookmobile.
The Library Foundation has dedicated all proceeds toward purchase of a new, state-of-the-art, disabled-accessible Bookmobile since its cost is quite high. The cost of a Bookmobile that complies with the federal Americans for Disabilities Act is in the range of $250,000, which accounts for the multi-year need for dedicated fundraising. The Foundation, to date, has now raised more than $120,000 (donations from Provident Bank and other donors, 2004 & 2005 fundraisers & 2006 Black & White & READ Ball and Last Breath of Summer, combined). The Last Breath of Summer fundraiser single-handedly garnered $7,383 on that low-priced ticket.
To All Supporters of the Jersey City Free Public Library and its Foundation: A Big 'Thank You'!!!
The Bookmobile, essentially a traveling branch that offers book lending direct to the patron, has been in existence since 1954. With the second vehicle's life now nearing its end, the Jersey City Free Public Library wants to keep offering its patrons this very popular service.
The Board of Trustees for the Jersey City Free Public Library Foundation, Inc. is as follows: Kevin J. Ward, Chairman; Morris Winograd, Vice Chairman; Michael Ryan, Treasurer; Elizabeth Spinelli, Recording Secretary; Joseph Panepinto Jr. Corresponding Secretary; and members Joseph Turula, Kirsten Micco, and Samantha Newman-Webster.
A P.J. Ryan's staple, The Eamonn Ryan Band, a contemporary Irish band with bar-band abilities, plays a range that's perfect for the Jersey City after-work crowd – such popular rock tunes as the ever-discussed Louie Louie, to Mitch Ryder's Devil With The Blue Dress (and a Detroit medley). The Sixties are well represented in this repertoire, with such old chestnuts as Hang On, Sloopy, Build Me Up, Buttercup, and lots of Beatles and Stones. There's even a sing-along edition of Harry Belafonte's Day-O. Decades cascade through songs such as Bruce's Glory Days and the group that started it all: Bill Haley and His Comets, Rock Around the Clock. And the Irish (and those who aren't!) will feel the tug of the Emerald Isle from songs such as Galway Shawl, Red Rose Café, Irish Soldier Laddie, Unicorn, and the one ballad everyone knows, Danny Boy.
Chaz DePaolo is a gifted guitarist and composer/arranger, whose rock sensibilities combine cover-band fun with the best of the blues. A typical rocker, Chaz would rather be on the open road, playing. In fact, he just returned from a five-week tour of Ireland and the U.K., where he performed in Dublin at J.J. Smyths and a private function. England beckoned, and Chaz hooked up with two members of the British band, The Groundhogs, playing and recording his original composition, Cadillac Baby.

text: I was in a health food store today (ordering some lemongrass oil) and the sales girl showed me something simply labeled "Raw Honey". She explained it was "spun" and was "all natural". She opened a jar to show me. It appeared to be crushed comb that had the consistency of peanut butter. What concerned me was it had chunks of dark brown, light brown, tan and white material. All pieces were 1/8" or smaller. Is this a normal honey product? I don't mean to seem ignorant, but I am. I guess I found myself looking for pieces of wings and legs. Would crushed honey have dark comb?

Story highlights
- Jamaica's tourism officials jumped on buzz around VW's "Get Happy" Super Bowl spot
- Participating hotels offering one free night for guests who book stays of a certain length
- Jamaican musician Jimmy Cliff stands by campaign and music's message
Debate all you want about a white guy from Minnesota using a fake Jamaican accent to capture the "Get Happy" spirit of Jamaica in Volkswagen's Super Bowl 2013 advertisement.
While debates about racism abound (see this debate on CNN), the Jamaica Tourism Board seems thrilled with the attention.
In response to the ad, Jamaica's tourism officials put together a "Get Happy in Jamaica" package for visitors to enjoy savings on travel April 1 through June 30.
Jamaican musician Jimmy Cliff, whose recording of "Come On, Get Happy" serves as background music, asked people to focus on the song's message via his Facebook page.
"I chose to record the song that's part of the Volkswagen Super Bowl campaign because it has a great message and it is something that people can apply to everyday life," Cliff wrote.
"I have personally seen the positive effects of Reggae music and Jamaican culture. I am a proud Jamaican and stand by this campaign, I feel like people need to focus on peace and unity. Blessed Love!"
The Jamaica Tourism Board deal offers a free hotel night at 20 participating hotels, contingent on the purchase of three to five nights. Book by March 15 at Visit Jamaica, click on the "Get Happy in Jamaica" link and use the code GET HAPPY. Seasonal surcharges and blackout dates may apply.

Ok.....The stock motor plate will not work on this Dewalt 14.4 . To start off I did grind a little on the trans and the motor did fit in the mount but the screw holes that you mount the motor to the plate are so far apart.

Can someone help and when I get off ill post pictures so y'all can see what im talking about with part# from the motor. I've seen alot of peoples use the stock plate but don't understand how it worked. Thanks!!!
