Teton County, Wyo. commissioners discuss development freeze
JACKSON, Wyo. - Could overdevelopment become a problem in western Wyoming?
People living in Teton County are asking just that, and commmissioners are proposing a temporary development freeze.
If that freeze is approved, it would probably be lifted by the end of this year, according to the Teton County Commissioner Hank Phibbs. Phibbs said homeowners, developers and county leaders just need some time to come up with a plan.
"I love having animals go through my yard all the time," said Susan Brooks, who lives in Teton County.
The county also known as "Jackson Hole" is home to some of the most sought-after real estate in the country, but with too much real estate comes concerns that there will be fewer reasons to want to live in the area.
"I like the rural quality," Brooks said.
County commissioners want to come up with a new land use plan.
"Here's the issue," Phibbs explained. "Our updated plan contains a policy and a revision to reduce the development density in the rural areas of the county."
Still, Phibbs said the community needs time to think it through.
"What the public gets -- the quality of the open space, and the reserved rights of the landowner to develop their property in the manner and location that they desire -- it's a balance that needs to take place," Phibbs said.
Until then, Phibbs and his fellow commissioners are getting ready to vote on a measure that would freeze medium- and large-scale developments in unincorporated areas.
The exact terms of the moratorium haven't been figured out, but Phibbs believes it won't allow more than three units to be built per 35 acre parcel.
Homeowners are split on the proposed measure.
"Nobody will want to be here anymore," Brooks said. "And we'll become Vail, or something!"
"You have to have change," said a Teton County man in favor of development.
"We really like controlled growth," said Barbara Knobe, another Teton County homeowner. "But we also do need to have a place for people to be able to live."
Phibbs is optimistic that an agreement will happen. He also does not believe a development moratorium will impact the local economy.
Calls to several developers who are in on the conversation were not returned.
The Teton County commissioners will vote on the measure on Tuesday, Feb.19.

"The 'Queen City of the Ozarks,' Springfield, Missouri, straddles the nation's midsection with big-city attractions and a small-town heart," says Frommer's. "Visit Springfield and swing your partner to country classics, stroll the campus of four universities, or dine in the revitalized downtown."

If it's a full auto the bolt sticks to the rear (it's open bolt).
I just got my baby in from Stan, I was wondering how to charge the bolt it seems
to me that its stuck. Does it have a lock or a round actually has to be chamberd to charge,
im a noob when it comes to an rpd. Please help!!
If it's a full auto the bolt sticks to the rear (it's open bolt).
No I wish its semi it wont open at all looks like there's a retainer clip to hold the bolt in pos, but not to where its that hard to pull back.
Is the safety on (toward the front)? That might be holding it?
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
It does have to be in the fire position and it takes a lot of grunt. Just picked mine up and trying to figure it out. I can't even figure out how to attach the drums.
Yes!!!! I got it takes alot of base balls lol the drum there's a lever you flip up under the rifle it has 3 pos, the unlock is all the way up and to the leftside of rifle. The slots of the drum fit on the lip one side is the shell deflected, it looks like its off sides once the drum slides on flip the lever all the way down and to the right side. Let me know if you get it happy shootin.
Ok progress, I figured out how to open the top cover, put on the drum, set the rounds in the feed tray. I have no idea how to field strip it and remove the bolt assembly for cleaning.
Ok, to get at the bolt you need to remove a pin which holds the lower assembly to the receiver. But, I am having a problem figuring out how to remove it. It just turns. Also, how do you open up the butt trap door?
I haven't begun to field strip it yet, going to gun show next week hope they have rpd Manuel in english. The butt stock plate push down the clip and rotate the butt plate like a clocks hands there'd a screw and a compartment .

During the 1920s, many black artists, poets, writers and musicians moved to Harlem, a section of New York City, where they became well-known for their writing, art and music. Today, this period in history is called the Harlem Renaissance. During this time, black artists were able to open the publics' eyes about being black in America. It was called a renaissance, or rebirth, because African Americans took their pain and suffering and successfully turned it into art.
Langston Hughes, a poet whose writing expressed the experience of working class African Americans, was considered the "Poet Laureate of Harlem." Other famous artists from this period include world-famous entertainer Josephine Baker, blues singer Bessie Smith, and jazz artists Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday. The creative work of the Harlem Renaissance artists remains very popular and admired today.

Fleetwood man twice a victim of home improvement fraud, police say
Warrants issued for arrests of Jerry Allen, of Easton; Mark Kowalski, of Fleetwood
FLEETWOOD, Pa. - A pair of contractors are being sought for ripping off a Berks County homeowner on two separate occasions, police said Tuesday.
Jerry Allen and Mark Kowalski promised to complete home improvement projects at a man's home in Fleetwood. Instead, police said they ran off with his hard-earned cash.
The first case of alleged home improvement fraud happened in March when Jerry Allen, of Interior Motives Renovations, was contracted for $5,800 to build a sun room behind a Fleetwood man's home, police said.
Allen, 41, of Easton, accepted a down payment of $2,800 and began the demolition phase of the project, during which time he damaged the home's siding, police said. Allen subsequently requested another check for $1,000 to cover the cost of materials and attempted to change the specifications of the contracted work, advising the homeowner that he'd refund his money if he didn't like it, police said.
The homeowner then stopped payment on the $1,000 check and tried to contact Allen for a refund of the down payment before contacting police, but he was unsuccessful, police said.
"He ended up trying to contact the contractor several times. Eventually, it seems as though his calls were being avoided," said Chief Steven Stinsky, Fleetwood Police Dept.
In April, it was a different contractor, but the same story. The same man hired Mark Kowalski, of Kowalski Contruction, to build a deck for $3,400 behind his house. Kowalski, 31, of Fleetwood, never started the work, offered several excuses and unfulfilled promises, the homeowner told police.
Chief Stinsky sent a letter to both contractors and told them they need to refund the contractor's money. When he never received a response, both Kowalski and Allen were charged with theft and felony violations of the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act. Warrants have been issued for their arrests, police said.
"These people took money and did not do the job. The amounts involved in each of these instances are in excess of $2,000, and amounts over $2,000 result in a felony charge, under the act," said Stinsky.
Bud Morris, who lives near the victim, does most of his home improvements himself, but if not, he hires someone he trusts.
"I just hope I'm not one of the victims like they are," said Morris. "It doesn't surprise me. Stuff like this is hitting closer to home all the time."
Before anyone hires a contractor, police said check with the Better Business Bureau and make sure to get everything outlined in your contract in writing.
Anyone with information about the case or the suspects' whereabouts is asked to call Crime Alert Berks County at 877-373-9913. A cash reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest. Calls can also be made to the Fleetwood Police Department at 610-944-7011.

text: adding a lot of hives and colonies this year and im trying to get insight with the gear i should invest in. i did buy 5 hive setups last year with only one colony yet alive. so, i ended up with a lot of deeps and mediums which are all equipped with plastic frames. so i have been working the hive ive had this past year and a half with those. meaning i have zero experience with wood. looking into what to buy for the expansion, i have learned a few things between the 2. wood is known to harbor shb easier but is obviously cheaper to replace. plastic is less likely for shb but is less possible to manipulate the comb (cutting queen cells,drawing,and no comb honey). could any of u share ur insight and especially valuable experience with the 2 ? greatly appreciated guys.

Tearful Hargrave testifies about fateful night
DA Patrick Flaherty does not hold back
BEND, Ore. - A Tumalo father who shot and killed his son took the stand in his own defense Friday. Jim Hargrve broke down on occasion as he talked about his relationship with Steven and what led him to pull the trigger last December.
Recalling memories of his son Steven, who he shot and killed Jim Hargrave broke down in tears in front of the jury, sobbing loudly.
Hargrave does not deny he pulled the trigger, but claims he had no choice and was acting in self defense.
"When he got up there with his fists raised and told me he was going to kick my ass, that's when I shot him," Hargrave said.
Hargrave explained that Steven got into a drunken rage and started screaming. He said he felt threatened and pulled his gun out of his holster and fired.
Several times throughout questioning, Deschutes County DA Patrick Flaherty objected to the questions.
"You just left a piece out of the story," Flaherty said, standing up.
He and Hargrave started arguing when he was at the stand, and Judge Wells Ashby had to tell the men to stop.
When it was Flaherty's turn for cross-examination, Hargrave repeatedly said he could not remember what he told police the night he killed his son. But with the transcript from Hargrave's interview that night in hand, Flaherty was prepared.
"Let me see if this refreshes your recollection," Flaherty said. "Did you have thoughts about grabbing the gun earlier? And you answered 'Probably, because I was just so mad."
Hargrave claimed if he didn't shoot his son, Steven would have beaten him up, like he said he did many times in the past.
"He might have done nothing," Flaherty said.
"No," Hargrave answered. "He would have done something, because he had thrown me down before."
Hargrave said he should have left the house with his wife Pam, and walked away from the situation that changed their family forever.
"I loved him very much," Hargrave said, breaking down in tears.
The testimony soon turned very technical about how close Steven and Jiim Hargrave were standing when Jim pulled the trigger.
The trial continues next week.

In Part IV we discussed the challenges of Application Delivery, and how Application Virtualization could offer alternatives.
Application Delivery can present difficulties in ensuring applications are installed in different environments, can be complex to manage and introduce compatibility issues that delay deployment and increase costs. Application Virtualization offers a number of advantages for providing access to applications over traditional Application Deployment; but it is not without caveats. Application Virtualization process of creating a virtualized application can be complex; it can require an infrastructure to be in place and there is also an interesting consideration as to whether application can adversely impact a hosted virtual desktop implementation.
Perhaps, those weren't the answers you were looking for. Perhaps, you considered it a boring conversation anyway.
In this conclusion of the two-part trilogy, we'll discuss Application Virtualization solutions, and what they can offer you. We look at solutions from Citrix, Endeavours Technologies, InstallFree, Microsoft, Spoon, Symantec, UniDesk and VMWare. We'll also consider the question "is it a choice between Application Delivery vs Application Virtualization?" to reduce the cost to your business of application deployment.

Chanel Fall 2012
The enormous shards of smoky quartz and amethyst, rising from sands of crystal like stalagmites in a giant's cave, set the mood chez Chanel, where Karl Lagerfeld was thinking about minerals, from the crystal-crusted eyebrows to the crystal fragments jutting from the top of the faceted clear-crystal heels.
Lagerfeld was also all over the season's layering trend—to provide a myriad of hipster-girl alternatives to the concept of the classic Chanel jacket-and-skirt suit. Every look began with pants—mostly legging-lean, and cropped just above the ankle (to showcase those glassy-heeled shoes with asymmetrical uppers), although here and there a ballooning sweat pant added a dash of couture sport. There was finesse to the Chanel take on other everyday staples, including the bomber jacket and the parka.
With the pant as a basic, Lagerfeld then added the classic Chanel tweedy skirt, this time with a gently belling swing to it, or jackets and coats that had a new fullness at the shoulder—not a hard 40s padded look, but instead a curved extension to the natural shoulder line. Many of these had a double-sleeve effect—as though a pair of gloves was worn with three-quarter-length sleeves.
The effect of mineral formations was suggested by the geometric arrangements of triangular pieces of multicolored reflective fabric arranged as breastplates on a severe black dress, or the pockets of a slate-gray coat. Dark, sheared furs were similarly seamed into origami patches. Minerals also gleamed on cuffs and armorial necklaces, and were used as embroidery to bedazzle the tips of a sleeve, a button, or an epaulet shoulder detail.
For the softer Chanel girl, those geometrics were blurred for overscale knitwear pieces in a palette—mauves, mustards, teal greens—that evoked the work of Sonia Delaunay, the 1920s textile designer and artist.
For night, Lagerfeld veiled those pants with gauzy fabrics threaded with metal stripes—and in tunics made from brilliantly colored metallic-foil fabrics. He also showcased some magically inventive embroideries—stiff feathers chopped into tiny lozenges and crafted in three-dimensional clusters, like the interior of a hollowed amethyst sample.

Subito molto disponibile nei nostri confronti. L'appartamento, molto bello innanzitutto e come da descrizione, ha evidenziato qualche problema fin da subito (uno stipite della porta rotto dai precedenti affituari), la luce di un bagno non funzionante dopo un giorno. Purtroppo non siamo riusciti ad avere una risposta immedata dal proprietario.
Per il resto l'appartamento è dotato di ogni comfort, e situato in una zona residenziale di Palmanova.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Perfect location, easy to walk within minutes to restaurants, bars, shops, cafes.
Spacious lounge & dining area. Two good sized double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one with en suite.
The apartment was clean and all necessary equipment available (TV, free WLAN, Nespresso coffee machine, A/C in all rooms except one sleeping room (only vent), washing machine).
Communication and logistics was excellent.
Had a wonderful week in our new "home" in Palma. The apartment was very central to everything going on - from restaurants, shops, bars, buses, taxis and a short walk to the train station. The apartment had everything that we had requested and was very clean. We met Claudia on our arrival and she was very welcoming and helpful. We will definitely use Wimdu again for our next visit to Palma.
Nice place, centrally located with bars and restaurants within a 5 minutes walk. Some cafes for breakfast directly around the corner.
The appartment is light, clean, big enough for three and nicely equipped. The kitchen could have a little bit more equipment and the WiFi should be checked (wasn't working for us all three days).
Communication and logistics was excellent.
The flat was really nice. We appreciated the good beds and the air conditioning. There were 41 steps to the secend floor but it was OK for us. It would be nice if you can do a manual to the washing machine. It´s much easyer to use then.
Basically everything was fine and according to the description with the booked accomodation:
The apartment was clean and all necessary equipment available (TV, free WLAN, Nespresso coffee machine, A/C in all rooms except one sleeping room (only vent), washing machine).
At arrival we were expected in front of apartment at agreed time (2PM).
Departure was at 11AM and we could deposit our luggage in the rental company's office until our final departure to airport.
Only problem (cause only 4 points instead of 5 points): the apartment is in 3rd floor and the stairways are VERY small to bring up the luggage. It seems this is standard in city houses in Palma, but it should be mentioned in the description.
Great host. Quick to reply by mail and text. Supplied baby cot and chair without hassle. Just easy!
Amazing location in old town, Palma.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We had a great stay in the apartment. Location is really great. In reality exactly like the pictures. Pay attention: the stairs are rather steep!
Everything was more than ok, except for the noise the wooden floor makes.....

Oregon truffle hunters now must have permit
New law taking effect this fall
SALEM, Ore. - Truffle hunting -- a hobby pursued in Oregon's forests, not the grocery store candy aisle --has a new set of regulations, including a state permit requirement, under legislation adopted by lawmakers earlier this year.
These fungal delicacies that grow beneath the soil's surface were designated a "special forest product" by the Oregon Legislature.
As a result, anyone who intends to collect truffles in the forest this fall must have a permit issued by the landowner.
House Bill 2615 amended the state statute on the harvesting of special forest products, ORS 164.183, to broaden the category of "edible mushrooms" to "edible fungi," thus including truffles.
Other special forest products already subject to harvest regulation under the law include firewood, cedar shake bolts, and greens such as tree boughs and salal.
HB 2615 also places a requirement on individuals and businesses that buy truffles harvested in Oregon's forests to maintain a record of their purchases.
ODF will make available new special forest products permit forms by October 1, 2014. For the 2013 truffle season, the department has prepared interim forms for landowners and buyers to use ,which can be picked up at any local ODF office.
Location and contact information for ODF headquarters and field offices can be found on the web, www.oregon.gov/odf.

I am certain that up against him most anthem rockers would scurry away like scared little country mice. We survived the worst of it and with these helpful tips you can, too.

Copic Ciao is a twin-tipped marker which has two nibs, at one end a medium broad nib for thick strokes and the other a super brush nib for variable width strokes. The super brush nib feels similar to a paintbrush when applying colour to a surface. The vast range of colours can be mixed together or layered on top of each other. As the markers are alcohol-based they are fast drying and will not smear, great if you are colouring or writing on photocopies. The coloured caps allow you to quickly identify which marker you need. Perfect for beginners, students and hobby artists.
Use the Colourless Blender Marker to smoothly blend Copic Ciao Markers together.

Top-seeded Green Bay Hosts No. 4 Seed UIC in Semifinal Friday at 7:30 p.m.
By: Jill Wunrow
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The No. 10/10 Green Bay (28-1, 17-1 HL) women's basketball team looks to take another step in postseason play as it hosts No. 4 seed UIC (18-12, 10-18 HL) Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Horizon League Championship semifinal at the Kress Events Center.
Green Bay advanced to the semifinals with a 77-53 win over No. 9 seed Valparaiso in Wednesday's quarterfinal game while UIC comes to Green Bay after a 66-53 win over No. 5 seed Butler in its quarterfinal battle.
Friday's game marks the seventh time UIC and Green Bay will meet in Horizon League postseason play with Green Bay owning an overall record of 5-1. The semifinal contest will be the first time reigning Horizon League Coach of the Year Matt Bollant leads the Phoenix against the Flames in the postseason.
Under Bollant, Green Bay is 9-2 in Horizon League Championship play, winning two titles (2009 and 2011). Green Bay has won 11 conference tournament titles, 10 in the Horizon League.
DEFENSIVE BATTLE... Friday's game will feature two of the league's top defenders in Green Bay's Julie Wojta and UIC's Jasmine Bailey who were both named to the postseason All-Defensive Team with Wojta earning Defensive Player of the Year honors. Wojta leads the league with 3.6 steals per contest while Bailey is fourth, averaging 2.5 picks per game.
As a team, Green Bay ranks atop the league in scoring defense, holding opponents to an average of 54.8 points per game. UIC is third holding its opponents to an average 58.7 points. The Flames rank first in the battle on the boards, outrebounding its opponents a league-best 6.0 boards per game.
REGULAR SEASON REWIND... Green Bay and UIC were the bookends of Horizon League regular season play with the Phoenix outscoring the Flames an average of 15 points, pouring in 78.5 points per contest. First Team All-League selection Jasmine Bailey led the series in scoring, pouring in a combined 42 points while leading UIC with 17 rebounds. Horizon League Player of the Year, Julie Wojta, led the Phoenix with 41 points and led the battle on the boards with 25 in the 2011-12 series.
POSTSEASON ACCOLADES... Winning its 14th consecutive regular season conference title, the nation's longest active streak, Green Bay topped Horizon League postseason honors, bringing home six awards.
For the second consecutive season, a Green Bay women's basketball player earned Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year honors as Wojta claimed both awards. Wojta was also a First Team All-League and All-League Defensive Team selection.
Wojta is the eighth player in Green Bay history to earn Horizon League Player of the Year honors and second to be recognized as the Defensive Player of the Year but first to have sole possession of both honors in the same season.
Junior Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) earned her first postseason accolade as a Second Team All-League selection while fifth-year head coach Matt Bollant earned his second consecutive and fourth Coach of the Year honor.
WOJTA THE WARRIOR... Wojta has had a record regular season with the Phoenix, moving into the top 10 in nine statistical categories on Green Bay's individual career record list. The Horizon League Player and Defensive Player of the year ranks fifth in scoring with 1,566 career points, sixth with 266 steals, 807 rebounds and 614 field goals made, seventh in both free throws made (279) and attempted (347) eighth with 1,226 field goals attempted, and ninth with 368 assists.
In Green Bay's quarterfinal game against Valpo, Wojta's game high six steals put her atop the individual season record list with 105 steals.
In addition to earning Horizon League Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, First Team All-League and All-Defensive Team honors, Wojta was recently named to the John R. Wooden Finalist ballot, is a midseason addition to the Wade Trophy watch list, Naismith midseason 32 watch list, and Capital One Academic All-America Second Team selection.
DON'T FORGET ABOUT US... Wojta is not the only player to write her name in Green Bay's record book this season. Second Team All-League selection Adrian Ritchie is in eighth on the individual career record list with 121 made three point field goals and sixth with 335 three point field goal attempts. Classmate Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) is seventh on the individual season record list with 143 three-point field goals attempted while Ritchie is tied for 10th with 134 attempts beyond the arc. Friday's game will be the 124th contest senior Hannah Quilling (Eau Claire, Wis.) will put on a Phoenix uniform which ranks tied for seventh on Green Bay's individual career record list.

Look for sprouts with tight, firm, small deep-green heads; if they're still on the stalk, so much the better. To prepare, peel off outer leaves and trim the stems.

One of the challenges of additive manufacturing is its freedom. Shapes can be printed that could never be produced in any practical way before. As a result, engineers are free to optimize the design of any part precisely for the needs of the application. But when the constraints are taken away, what does the very best design for a given application look like?
GE has taken an open approach to finding that answer for at least one component. We first showed the jet engine bracket seen here in this article about GE Aviation's use of additive manufacturing. The comparison above shows the bracket as produced through machining alongside one possibility for how the bracket might be produced additively.
However, is there an additive redesign of the bracket that could perform its function with even less weight and less material cost than what is seen here?
The company recently turned that question into a contest, its Jet Engine Bracket Challenge. GE says nearly 700 design entries came from 56 countries. Ten finalists were recently announced. See the many ways that entrants proposed redesigning this bracket to try to take full advantage of what additive manufacturing might do for this part.

UTSA faculty, students and staff are invited to submit their views of the UTSA Library through a Web-based survey. You also can pick up a paper survey at any UTSA Library location at the 1604 Campus, Downtown Campus and Institute of Texan Cultures. The LibQUAL+ survey consists of 43 questions and takes 13 minutes or less to complete.
There will be no monetary compensation for completing the survey, but 50 incentive prizes will be offered as thanks to participants. At the end of the Web-based survey, respondents can elect to include an e-mail address, which will enter them in a prize drawing.
Prizewinners will be notified at the e-mail address entered in the survey between Nov. 20 and Dec. 1. Prizes include an iPod, $50-$100 gift certificates, bowling and popcorn parties at University Bowl, four tickets to the Botanical Garden, popular novels from Barnes and Noble bookstores, and free food coupons from McDonald's and Chipotle restaurants.
Survey results will be available to the UTSA community in spring 2007. Details will be posted on the library's LibQUAL+ Web site and linked to the UTSA Library home page.

Whether it's bristles on your chin or stubble on your legs, facial and body hair is a nuisance that can be difficult to manage as many hair removal solutions are ineffective or cause unpleasant side effects. Because shaving leaves the root behind, its results are short-lived, and depilatory creams often severely irritate skin. Many women mistakenly believe that they must frequently reach for a razor or live with chronic redness and inflammation to be free of unwanted body and facial hair. If you're among them, it's time for you to discover the Emjoi collection.
Emjoi is a lineup of epilators that glide over the skin and remove the hair by the root. Each epilator is outfitted with tweezer heads that can effectively eliminate hair from any part of the body, including delicate areas like the face, under arms and bikini line. With an Emjoi epilator, you'll enjoy longer-lasting results than those possible from shaving without having to apply abrasive, foul-smelling depilatory creams to your skin. The collection also includes after shaving treatments that condition the skin and slow down hair growth.
Want to have smooth skin for up to six weeks? Try an epilator from Emjoi. As you move the epilator across your target area, it grasps your hair and takes it out from the root, quickly and comfortably. This patented Glide Technology helps to minimize irritation. The brand has the widest selection of epilators available on the market today, and their devices offer a bevy of cutting-edge features.
Emjoi utilizes up to 72 tweezers, the most that you'll find on an epilator. To clear legs or arms with fewer passes, look for devices with dual-opposed staggered heads that enable you to cover a larger area. Or if you want a more precise tool for your eyebrows, upper lip, and chin, Emjoi offers epilators that are designed to be more accurate. To protect you from bacterial infections, the epilators contain silver ion technology. If you prefer to remove your hair in the shower, opt for a waterproof Emjoi. And Emjoi epilators aren't just for women. Men find that clearing unwanted hair is fast, easy, and lasting with an Emjoi epilator. The brand also makes a body cream that softens your skin and helps to inhibit the growth of hair. Apply it after using a Emjoi epilator.
Now you can enjoy Emjoi for home pedicures and elbow exfoliation, too. The brand makes devices that buff away rough patches and calluses in seconds, thanks to unique rollers. These rollers have micro-mineral particles that are more effective than metal scrapers and pumice stones.
What the automatic dishwasher did for the harried housewife, Emjoi products can do for the busy, benefit-savvy woman. These clever devices open up a whole new world of carefree personal maintenance and softer, smoother skin anywhere you normally remove hair on your face and body. Emjoi products help you save money on waxing treatments at the salon, and remove forever the embarrassing, scratchy feeling that accompanies shaving body hair, not to mention the annual cost of adequately comfortable feminine razors.
Similar to waxing, epilation works by quickly pulling unwanted hairs, which results in remarkably smooth skin that lasts for weeks (as opposed to mere days for shaving). Emjoi products include durable, easy-to-use units and after-use treatments to soothe skin and slow hair regrowth. The result is a freed-up personal care routine, enabling the Emjoi products user to enjoy smooth-skin confidence for a longer period of time between treatments.
Take a quick look at these Emjoi Products to discover what sets Emjoi apart from the rest.
The Emjoi Emagine Epilator is a cutting-edge epilation tool with a remarkably large surface area using 72 individual tweezer heads. Not only does the larger surface cut down on treatment time, but the skin-stretching technology in the Emagine Epilator head aids effective hair removal and greater comfort, negating the need to pass over an area several times to fully remove all hair (including those pesky, hard-to-reach short hairs that most epilators miss). Emagine's Silver Ion technology is Emjoi's world-wide distinction by being the first of its kind to offer antimicrobial protection against infection. Emjoi's Emagine Epilator is great for hair removal on legs, arms, underarms, the bikini area, and may even be used on facial hair.
Emjoi After Epilation Cream with Hair Growth Inhibitor is formulated to be applied to the body immediately after epilation or waxing treatments. The cream soothes skin for greater smoothness and less chance of irritation. To take advantage of the hair growth inhibitor, use daily for ten days after epilating or waxing to prolong time between hair regrowth, and eventually to realize softer, less noticeable hair regrowth.
Emjoi Divine differs from the larger Emjoi Emagine in that it has a 36-tweezer head, but it also includes an exfoliation attachment and a dual-function shaving attachment so you receive three great personal care tools in one. The ergonomically-shaped handle allows for an easy grip, and Emjoi Divine provides the same great antimicrobial protection as the Emjoi Emagine. A dual speed switch allows you to epilate according to your comfort level, and the contoured head and massaging fingers in the design keep your skin stretched to improve comfort and hair removal efficiency.

Missoula Airport busy, travelers east could meet storm
MISSOULA, Mont. - It's been a busy air travel day at Montana airports. Travelers squeezing the most they can out of a long holiday are heading back home. But for air travelers heading east it could be a game of chance getting there on time.
Eric Taber was wrapping up his Christmas vacation in Missoula, and catching a flight to Denver. He lives and works in Pittsburgh, and from Denver, he will head east, into a deep freeze.
"I've heard that the weather is bad," said Taber, "and I'm lucky I've had an extra day built into my trip. I didn't have to go back to work until Sunday, so if I get delayed I'm not too worried."
Ann and Tim Hoaglin spent vacation in Missoula. Before getting on the Denver flight they checked the weather back home.
"It's been nice to be in balmy Missoula before we hit Ohio," said Ann.
Ken Wall delivered his daughter and her husband to the airport for a flight to San Diego. That's easy. Another daughter left Missoula for her home in New York before the storms hit.
"They're at Rockaway Beach in New York and they were shoveling 10 inches of snow off their bungalow," said Wall.
Missoula's unseasonably nice January weather has made travel through Missoula pretty smooth. But Boston or Newark could be a little dicey.
"Certainly flights are leaving Missoula for the most part on time as scheduled," said Airport Director Cris Jensen. "I can't promise you that if you're going to Newark as an example, that you might not have an issue when you get to Denver or Minneapolis or Salt Lake."

Their shape makes them perfect for stuffing, but bell peppers can add their sweet, juicy flavors to everything from soup to pizza.
- Photo: Beau Gustafson; Styling: Mindi Shapiro Levine
7 Ways With Bell PeppersWith their multicolored skins, bell peppers add bright, vibrant color to any dish. Eat them raw or coax new flavors from these versatile vegetables with easy techniques like roasting and sautéeing. Once purchased, store peppers in a plastic bag in the refrigerator and use within a week.
Red Pepper-Cauliflower SoupRoasted red bell peppers, steamed cauliflower, shallots, and chicken stock make for a creamy soup that's as light as it is delicious. Swap vegetable stock for the chicken broth to make it vegetarian.
Mediterranean Lamb- and Couscous-Stuffed PeppersStuffed yellow bell peppers take on rich global flavors with a hearty filling of ground lamb, herbs, and salty feta cheese. Substitute ground beef or turkey for the lamb if you like, but keep the mint-thyme-rosemary herb combination for maximum flavor.
Fennel-Pepper SlawDrizzle sweet bell peppers and thinly sliced fennel with a homemade lemon vinaigrette for a refreshingly crisp, crunchy salad. Serve it on the side, or fold the colorful mixture into wraps and sandwiches.
Meatballs and PeppersFor some pure comfort food, steep multicolored bell pepper strips in beef broth, then thicken into rich gravy. Add pan-seared meatballs and serve over garlicky mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Three-Pepper PizzaIn less time that it takes to have pizza delivered, this easy six-ingredient pie can be on the table. Start with refrigerated dough for the base, crown with a little tomato paste, and top with a variety of diced peppers and onion for a colorful, flavorful veggie pizza.
Grilled Portobello, Bell Pepper, and Goat Cheese SandwichesMarinate portobello mushroom caps and sweet bell peppers in homemade balsamic vinaigrette, then grill on a flattened Kaiser roll for a panini-style sandwich. It's an easy weeknight meal that can be prepared on the grill, with an indoor grill pan, or in a skillet.
Sausage-and-Pepper HerosA quick weeknight supper or great meal for sports buffs, this easy sandwich stuffs lightly toasted hero rolls with pan-seared chicken sausage. Bell pepper strips and onions sautéed in olive oil and seasoned with garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and oregano lend a distinctive ballpark air to this hearty sandwich.

SUCCESS!!! I was back over at the property yesterday with the intention of spraying more soapy water to keep the ants' numbers suppressed until I could find/afford a more successful approach (found out it's gonna cost about $175+ to get the nematodes to treat my property). Well, I got out my sprayer, loaded it up, then went to start out by re-spraying a lot of the mounds I'd treated on Thursday. When I kicked the first one, though, there was no response at all, couldn't find a live ant! I ended up finding about 6-10 that were totally wiped out, and several more that were very weak! So, with much more hope, and greatly renewed vigor, I went about dousing as many mounds as I could find for the next 4-5hrs!
After that, I'm going to have to upgrade my evaluation of the soapy water method to:
Kills tens of thousands of RIFAs within minutes on contact, and, if sufficiently soaked into all entrances to the mound, wipes out mounds over the course of several days. Of course, it's still a very time-intensive approach if you have a large number of mounds, but at least there's hope (it even did better than soaking Permethrin into the mounds for less $$$ and with a Biodegradable, non-polluting agent)!
Side Note:
Now that I finally have a way to (hopefully) keep the ants from wiping out my beehives, I got a call about a just-moved-in hive in someone's horse barn that I'm scheduled to remove tonight. Wish me luck & lots of healthy bees! :-)
Got the hive out of the horse barn.... She (the property owner) wasn't joking when she said the hive was new!! When I first opened up the wall I thought I saw 5-6combs covered in bees; then I touched the first "comb" with my sharpened hive tool that I use for loosening feral comb and *splash* about 3/4lb of bees (hanging in a "beard" with no comb there) dropped down and splashed into my hive box below...lol In the end, I found 3 4-5"x6" combs that were all SUPER soft & new, with only the tiniest bit of honey/pollen in any of the three of them. I was not, however, able to locate any eggs (didn't have much light, though, as I do my cut-outs at night) or brood in a single cell of the comb?? The bees had supposedly been there for 4-5 days, shouldn't there have been a *few* hatched eggs already?
Anywise, I got all the bees I could into my hive; spliced in 2 of the combs that had a mix of honey/pollen in the central cells; put the one comb with only honey, no pollen, in a 5gal bucket; then (after searching everywhere OUTSIDE of my box several times for the Queen) doused the "stragglers" with soapy water so the homeowner wouldn't have a couple thousand upset, homeless bees to deal with in the morning.
My big concern right now, is that there's a chance I might have missed getting the queen into my hive box (with enough bees in there to coat the bottom of the box 3" deep in bees, finding her would be nearly impossible), and without having seen any hatched brood, I'm not so sure they'll be able to raise an emergency queen if needed. Should I try to place a "rush order" for a queen from someone, "just to be safe," or do you guys think I should just "hang in there" and wait to see what happens? (unfortunately, the RIFA wiped out all my other bees, so raising a Queen from another hive's not an option )

Hopefully, the queen is in there somehwere. If you had a couple of frames of brood to put in there, that might help. If not, maybe you can find a replacement queen.
I hope it works out for you!

LOL, I think I should've spent more time examining the combs, and less time worrying. Just brought in the comb with "only a little honey" in it to examine in better light... Looks like I'm the moron today! ROFL (don't I wish I hadn't left this comb in a bucket overnight!)

Why not stick it in the hive...what have you got to lose?
Here's a home remedy. We never had any luck with cornmeal but instant grits is another answer.
Now I'm not sure of the cost for a problem as big as yours but the idea is they take the grits into the colony and begin sharing the instant grits. The grits hit the ol' digestive system .... absorbS a little moisture and POOOF!!!! INSTANT EXPLOSION!!! GRITS EXPANDED AND BLEW THE ANT AWAY!!!
I brought the hive to my property this morning; installed a pair of "tees" to hang the hive box from (while the hive was sitting in a nice, cool, shady place several hundred feet away); opened the "door" (see pics) about 1/2"-1" and watched the bees come out for a few minutes. After about 10 minutes I was pretty sure it looked like a swarm in the air coming out of my hive (about a 20-30' diameter, dense "cloud" of bees) but I decided to give them a while before I messed with 'em to put the last comb in there. So we went to a local restaurant to eat, came back and, about 1 hr after opening the door to the hive, there were only about 30-50 bees left in my box (and no queen)...they ABSCONDED on me!
A quick run-down on the hive:
*On the lid of the box I have 1/8" strips of wood stapled underneath, acting as spacers for the sheet of aluminum foil, giving a 1/8" air-gap with an aluminum radiant heat barrier to insulate from the direct sunlight hitting the lid.
*Near the bottom front of the hive I drilled 10 9/64" ventilation holes for the bees.
*After the bees left, I checked and there WERE eggs in just about every cell that wasn't full of pollen/honey, on the two combs I'd already put in there; so they abandoned their brood when they left.
*I ran the math on the hive's size; if the bees filled in every bar with comb, down to a 3/8" bee space all-around, they'd have about 1433 sq.in. of "comb space" (I came up with 1360 sq.in. of "comb-space" when I ran the math on a 10-frame deep Lang. super using the "Dadant Frames Template" hosted on this site)
*All lumber is virgin Southern Yellow Pine, with a little bit of epoxy holding things together.
So, does anyone have any fairly-sure ideas as to why they left? I do NOT think it's a "space issue" as this hive's bigger than a 10-frame Lang. Super; I *thought* I had enough insulation/ventilation for transporting (and there was no "wet mess" of regurgitated honey inside the box...all dry there); I've relocated 2 other hives to that property, and neither of them absconded immediately. My personal guesses (an maybe they could even be called "uneducated" at this point) are that they overheated in transit, or maybe were still too upset from the jarring they took on the trip (I noticed a couple broken-off pieces from the 2 combs that made the trip in the hive, sitting on the hive bottom). Trip length last night (from old hive spot to my apt.) was about 10-15mins (they stayed in a protected spot on my back porch overnight after); and trip length this morning (from my apt. to my property) was about 35-45mins with them in the trunk of my car, the back seat folded down a bit, and the A/C blowing back there to "keep 'em cool."
At this point, ANY ideas would be appreciated...I'm 0 for 3 on keeping bees in my hives now (2 killed off by RIFA, 1 absconded) and it's getting pretty frustrating.
My "Capture Hive" sitting on a pair of brand-new hive "tees" (the bolts in the "litter poles" are because I made them in 2 sections...the back section will be built into another "Capture Hive" once I get all the parts cut)

Moving them twice might have made them feel insecure. I just park mine, even if it is 10:30 at night, and let them sort themselves out, spilled honey and all. I left all the honey and comb, hung with rubber bands from frames, in the hive. Friday's got here about 3 pm, so I was a little worried about absconding. Last night I got in at 10:30 pm, and they didn't abscond, but they did hide in the beevac tube while their honey was stolen by Friday's bees. Someone moved into my nuc swarm trap on the trailer, and another swarm moved into my beetree. I suspect the nuc is yesterday's cutout, but not sure, since I saw bee activity near it when I was trying to raid for frames the other day.
Bees are bees and they do as they please...
Better luck soon!
Dadant has a shiny metal hive stand that has great potential in antproofing. you can grease metal, won't hurt bees, ants can't climb it, axle grease would probably work.

Stuck in Texas. Learning Permaculture in drought, flood and strange weather. The bees are still alive.
Glad you had good luck with the suds methods of fireant control. You can also before a rain sprinkle clothes soap on the top of the mounds. The soap dissolves and soaks down into the mound killing the little devils on contact. But the sprayer with dawn dishsoap works the best. TED

Ted could you share how much dawn dishsoap you use in the sprayer?
About four ounces to a two gallon sprayer. You want the water to have a nice blue color to it. Basically the stronger you make the better killing power it has. TED

BTW have you tried using liquid laundry soap instead of dish soap? I tried "Purple Power" biodegradable cleaner/degreaser, but it's not nearly as effective; hoping the laundry soap, being cheaper than dish soap, will be similarly effective to the dish soap?? (I know, it sounds cheap, but I'm treating several dozen mounds at a time, and I haven't even mown the hay field to find most of them yet!)
I believe with time that sudsing fire ants will become standard ant control in use by your typical homeowner in the south land. Robherc, grits dont work. TED

Did the grits just make more fire ants? (my corn meal try did)
Stuck in Texas. Learning Permaculture in drought, flood and strange weather. The bees are still alive.
Above is the short form about fire ant biology.
Notice that fire ants not only live but even hunt from under ground tunnels that may cover a acre or more. The ants emerge though sally ports to forage or ambush prey. Seeding the soil with nematodes sounds like the old tale about throwing Brer Rabbet in the briar patch when you could have easily knocked his block clear off while you had him in your hands. (See the Walt Disney flick, Song of the South cia (1946) Besides, as much as fire ants are in contact with the soil I don't see how they could begin to live much less thrive if nematodes harmed many fire ants. However nematodes do harm many plant species so if you're planning on sowing nematodes in a spot of ground where you're also planning on growing a garden, be advised that you may have to apply a pesticide to your soil in the form of a nematicide before you can grow a garden.
I have heard the old corm meal urban legend almost as long as I have spoke English. Like most myths and legends there is a grain (or grit) of truth in the yellow corn meal myth. Yellow cornmeal (usually impregnated with some type of eatable fat or oil to make it attractive to foraging ants) is the carrier or delivery system (granules if you will) for a wide range of fire ant poisons. Adult fire ants can not chew or even swallow solid food so they must first take every particle of food they gather back to the mound and feed it to their brood. The fire ant brood chews up or macerates the solid food, swallows it, and spits it back up in a form that the grown ants can then eat. Do you see now why it is important for any fire ant bait to first make it to the brood nest and then be fed to the brood before it can even begin to kill the worker ants or their queen? Besides if you kill all the brood the adults soon starve.
It used to be a common sight to see WWII surplus B17 Flying Fortress or B24 Liberators flying at low altitudes along rail road right of ways while dropping yellow corn meal impregnated with fire ant poison. This worked fairly well by creating a narrow beaten zone that fire ants had difficulty living in or migrating across. Not any more. Environmental organizations sued the USDA because no one knew how many ground nesting baby birds the ant bait killed. So now the red imported fire ants are killing and eating the ground nesting baby birds. But hey, that's called progress.
The only holistic treatment for red imported fire ants that has any chance of working in Texas or for that matter Alabama is Lone Star beer. Now Lone Star beer doesn't harm the first fire ant but if you drink a large enough quantity of cold Lone Star and then recycle the beer liberally over the fire ant mound, you'll feel better about having fire ants on your property.

Scrapfe, since I live only 20 miles from Shiner, would it be okay to substitute Shiner Bock for the Lone Star? I realize that tweaking the chemical composition of your remedy might make a difference there.
Gypsi, I must respectfully disagree. I tried grease on the legs, in cans around the legs, tanglefoot, kerosene, water, and all the other suggestions. Time and again, the ants just walked over other dead ants to get to the hive. Hence, my use of Amdro granules. They don't walk over the Amdro. However, I AM glad to hear it worked for someone! Grits is just another form of cornmeal, and I had no luck there, either.
I have had little success with nematodes and various forms of BT here in TX, but I used both successfully in Denver. Seems to be a matter of where you are and what works. I'm glad suds worked for robherc, but all I got was clean fire ants with soft hands!
Also waging war with gophers here. The FA like to follow the gophers and make ant hills where the gophers have left their hills. I'm still thinking napalm, or very tiny thermonuclear devices . . . {growl}
Good luck, all y'all!

Yeah, worked out well. I was just pissed because I looked at my pm and saw I found the last wolf, then looked at the write-up and saw I was dead.
yeah it worked out well for the remaining villagers. i probably should have just came out as the angel, but i kind of wanted to avoid the scenarios where people were like "let's wait till the angel is here" or "i'm just going with the angel because i know we can trust him".

Couple arrested after 200 cats seized in Milton
Published: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 10:03 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 10:03 a.m.
MILTON, Fla. — Two people face numerous charges after deputies seized about 200 cats from a Florida Panhandle home.
Allan and Ella Kirkman of Milton were arrested Monday. They're charged with nuisance, pain and suffering and selling or letting diseased animals roam. Records did not list an attorney for the couple.
It took hours for Santa Rosa Sheriff's deputies and workers from the county's animal control services to remove the cats from the home and load them into trailers. They were taken to an animal shelter.
Animal control's interim director Dale Hamilton told the Pensacola News Journal the cats will be examined to determine the extent of their health problems.
The Kirkmans operate Kirkman Kattery Rescue from their home. Their website says they are trying to raise funds to build a facility.
