Quick question... if I were thinking of having someone paint my boba helmet for me, how much would we be looking at?
I havent decided to do this yet, I'm just weighing out my options and budget.

Hey, that's a good question. I always wondered myself what some of the artisans here would charge for that kind of thing. After tackling my son's helmet I am not sure I am up for doing my own anytime soon. I know my wife is not! (lol)
It really depends on how you are wanting to paint it for you. Take for instance if you use some of the very well know and talented helmet/armor producers it is going to run you in the $1,000's to buy a helmet and have them paint it for you. I think in this area you are better off buying a helmet that has already been painted and the paint job is excellent, or buying a helmet and painting it yourself.
I'll do it for $150 plus shipping .... of course I've never painted one before.
on average $450
ouch! When I painted an ROTJ a while back I only charged 100!
IMO a truly accurate helmet from start to finish including finsihing work comes in at about 100 hours give or take. That means stenciling out every last nick and scratch, custom made decals, proper layering of colors... and weathering both with a ultra fine brush and a light wash.
Just winging the paint job by eyeballing it will cut the time in a thrid or less.
As far as cost... I think you get what you pay for as far as time investment in your helmet goes. And yes... $1000 minimum for a great paintjob including cost of bucket and in some cases just for the paintjob.
I, my self have raised my rate based off leanring from painting many buckets and refining my style and use of stencils that is time consuming but results in VERY accurate results.
Each artist will charge differently. I did my first bucket for cost of paints and bondo only! Just to figure it out. That was 4-5 helmets ago.
Just like any artform your paying for the time and experince. Some folks think the BM helmet that Daz had Steve the Sweed paint was to pricy, I say it was a steal considering the time put into it.
how much did he charge?
Hmmm... maybe my offer to do one for $150 isn't that far-fetched afterall.
Anyone willing to take a chance on my first one turning out great? Anyone?... Anyone?... Bueller?
I could sure use the practice!
WOW - $1000.00 for a paint job/bucket
I had no idea....."EDIT" (not that this is bad, just that I'm surprised because of how much I charge for a BARC paint up )
it appears it depends on the "quality" of the paint job you want and how accurate you want it. So if your asking for a paint job, perhaps being more specific about the quality and accuracy you want is in order. Perhaps you should say how much you willing to spend on the paint up via a PM, this would determine how much time the artist can put into it.
Fett helmets, even with a mediocre paint job, are VERY intensive and can easily become very costly when figuring in an hourly rate.
Some people do paint ups for the fun of having the project funded, just having a chance to do the project. To others, it's like a business.
I charge $100.00 for a BARC paint up like seen in my avatar, but then again, it's a labor of love, not a business...

Yeah, when I painted my kids helmet it probably took about 50 to 60 hours (and I'll bet I am underestimating actually) I could do it faster now that I have a better sense of it, but it is still very time consuming. Sounds like the best deal would be to buy one of the painted ones that show up in the Cargo Hold every once in a while.

Hmmm ... after reading what I just wrote, I think it's actually cheaper to pay BM to paint my stuff.
I already own the helmet.. I was just thinking of shipping it to someone and have them paint it...
But I really can't afford a grand to have someone else do it... I'll just have to do it myself. I was just concerned because I couldn't paint my bathroom without messing it up some, and I still can't figure out the painting stencils and how to use them...
Some Charge by the hour. Other's like myself just charge a flat rate...
Some are cheaper, while others are more....But to me ALL are relative to the skill and time envolved for the services they provide.
It's really all about what you're willing to pay.....
EVAN said it best "you get what you pay for"....
Some painters also work in Trade, or will even work on payment arrangements .....
Just like there are people who supply Jet Packs, Armor, and Fett Buckets, there are those that offer other skills........from Painters, to seamstresses', to electronics....and all should get paid for what their time and effort are worth.

People are shocked to hear how much it costs but they fail to see think about the cost of all the various paint colors (and other supplies) it takes to paint one properly and then even more importantly, the countless hours it takes to do. Painting a Fett bucket is not something you can sit down and do in two hours. To do it properly can take a few days up to a few months depending upon the level of accuracy.
I've been asked to paint helmets for folks several times and every time I've told them what I considered to be a fair price of $350-$400 I've never heard back from them.

I have never painted anything in my life until I did my first bucket, but I wanted it to come out good. So I bought a airbrush and a compressor, after practicing with it, I tackled my bucket, and I have to say it does take a long time, but with the help of TDH, I was able to do a pretty good job for my first attemp. Sadly on my final day when I was about to install my visor, it took a nasty fall off the countertop. And it broke badly. It was resin and cost me around $80, but now I know more about it before I get ready to order my BM bucket. Good luck.
The only painting skills that I have are with my airbrush. Right now I am working on my jet pack and I suck with bondo so it is taking me a while to even get it ready to paint. I have never painted a helmet before, but I have painted a set of gauntlets, and I am about to do another set of gauntlets as well as a cod. Oh I am going to be painting a Clone Trooper bucket soon though, that will be my first experience with painting a bucket.
I'm not scarred off my the price... I just don't have the $$$
I can't get an airbrush machine... so I'm going to try spray paints... Thanks for the help and advice... I'm sure I'll be posting many more questions. Thank you for being patient with a noob!


text: Hello, to all. I have been reading material from the forum for about a year. I started five hive on March 14, 2013. I don't have a local mentor, so I am depending on information from others outside my area. Getting ready to retire and I have always wanted to have some bees. So, now I have them.

It's been unseasonably warm here in Michigan (all over too I suppose) and I've had my bees outside in a shoebox, by their home to be.
Today, when I checked, there was a distinct chewing, scratching sound and I saw the antenna of one bee poking out the end of one of last year's straws.
I'm getting excited : - )

This two-dimensional form of carbon has properties not seen in any other substance
Keith A. Jenkins
The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2010 was awarded jointly to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov of the University of Manchester "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene." Essentially it was awarded for the discovery in 2004 of the form of carbon known as graphene, which led to an explosion of experimental and theoretical work with the material around the world. It is remarkable not only that the Nobel Prize was given for the discovery of a material (rather than for the elucidation of some physical principle), but also that the material was already in one of the most common substances in human history, and that the prize was awarded such a short time after the discovery.
In part, the speed of this recognition is due to the amazing excitement created by Geim and Novoselov's findings. According to Geim, several technical papers are published every day on the subject of graphene. This enthusiasm arose from the quick realization that graphene has many remarkable physical properties not seen in any other material.
What is graphene and what are its properties? It is a two-dimensional form of carbon, a single layer of carbon atoms, in which the atoms are arranged in a hexagonal chicken-wire or honeycomb configuration. It is found in nature and is simply one of the layers of the common substance graphite. Each layer of graphene stacked up to make graphite is only loosely bonded to the others. The layers adhere only by van der Waals forces, weak dipole-to-dipole attractions between adjacent molecules, rather than by stronger covalent bonds, in which the molecules share electrons. This loose bonding explains why graphite is a good lubricant. Technically, graphene was known since x-ray crystallography was able to uncover graphite's structure in the early 1900s, but it was not isolated into individual planes of graphene until 2004. And there was little interest in graphene by itself until Geim and Novoselov were the first to detail its properties.
Graphene is one of very few two-dimensional materials with a crystalline structure. Its physical layout and electronic properties result in many remarkable characteristics. It is an excellent heat conductor. It is flexible, yet 10 times stronger than any other measured material, at equivalent thicknesses. It is a good absorber of light over a wide spectrum, yet it is effectively transparent. (This dichotomy is not a paradox: A layer of graphene absorbs 2.3 percent of the light impinging on it, which is a lot for a single atomic layer, but still allows most light to pass through.) It is fairly chemically inert, yet when appropriately treated it is a sensitive electrical detector of very small concentrations of chemicals. And it has very high electron mobility, allowing the transit of electrical charges through the material at a rate that is at least 100 times greater, in its purest state, than conventional semiconductors used in electronics, such as silicon or gallium arsenide.

ESAs INCREASE THE RISK OF DEATH, MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, STROKE, VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM, THROMBOSIS OF VASCULAR ACCESS AND TUMOR PROGRESSION OR RECURRENCE
Chronic Kidney Disease
- In controlled trials, patients experienced greater risks for death, serious adverse cardiovascular reactions, and stroke when administered erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) to target a hemoglobin level of greater than 11 g/dL [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- No trial has identified a hemoglobin target level, ESA dose, or dosing strategy that does not increase these risks.
- Use the lowest Epogen dose sufficient to reduce the need for red blood cell (RBC) transfusions [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- ESAs shortened overall survival and/or increased the risk of tumor progression or recurrence in clinical studies of patients with breast, non-small cell lung, head and neck, lymphoid, and cervical cancers [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- To decrease these risks, as well as the risk of serious cardiovascular and thromboembolic reactions, use the lowest dose needed to avoid RBC transfusions [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
- Use ESAs only for anemia from myelosuppressive chemotherapy [see INDICATIONS AND USAGE].
- ESAs are not indicated for patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy when the anticipated outcome is cure [see INDICATIONS AND USAGE].
- Discontinue following the completion of a chemotherapy course [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
- Due to increased risk of Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT), DVT prophylaxis is recommended [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Farm's 100 years of history is mostly unknown
Bonnie and Gary Hockett of Backus will host an open house Saturday, June 29, to celebrate their family farm's centennial year.
Through sparse stories told by her father and the manifest of the property's ownership history, Bonnie knew that the property's centennial was coming, but not much else is known about her 480-acre farm that's east of Backus on the corner of 16th Avenue and Highway 87. That's because much of that history was lost with the death of her great-grandfather, Michael Smith. Even more of that history was lost upon the death of her grandparents.
"There's nobody that can tell us. My grandmother and grandfather died when my dad was 9 and 12, so he was pretty young," Bonnie said. "There's a lot of the history we just don't know."
It didn't help that Bonnie's father, Kenneth Smith, was somewhat close-mouthed.
"He never had much to say about his childhood. I think because he lost his parents at such a young age," Bonnie said.
He did, however, tell her how her grandfather purchased glass windows, nails and other building materials he couldn't mill from lumber.
"My dad always said my grandfather took red clover seed to town to buy the nails and the glass and the stuff he didn't have here for the house and the barn," Bonnie said.
The farm has always been a small family farm, producing beef, or milk, or feed throughout its existence. Michael Smith bought the farm in 1913. His son, Glen Smith, homesteaded on the property and added onto it in 1916, and Bonnie's father, Kenneth, purchased it in 1946 after returning from the service.
"We moved here in 1973 to take care of my father, then he passed away, so my husband and I purchased it from my sister, Debbie Gearey," Bonnie said.
Today the property has a barn and a house from 1919, and a grainery from around 1917. Other historical buildings were once on the property, but they have either fallen down or been taken down over the years.
There was once a house turned corn crib, which was where the family lived before 1919, as well as an ice house, which Kenneth turned into a playhouse for his daughters, complete with real furniture.
The 1919 family home has been remodeled twice — once in 1975, and again in 1989. A porch was added to the house this spring. Throughout all of these remodels, the Hockett family has been careful to reuse as many historical materials as possible.
"We try not to throw much away; it's kind of our goal," Bonnie said.
In celebration of the farm's centennial, Bonnie applied to the Minnesota Century Farms program and is being honored at the state and county fairs this year. In addition, Bonnie and her sister, Debbie, decided to hold an open house for friends, family, neighbors and anyone interested in seeing the 100-year-old property.
"We're just going to have anybody that wants to come and have a piece of cake and visit with us. Hopefully we will be able to renew old friendships and that kind of thing," Bonnie said. "Anybody that has an interest is invited."
Visitors are invited to come and chat with family and neighbors over memories of the farm and its inhabitants. There will be a light lunch.

Was the introduction of the Ford Model T an improvement or an innovation over the horse drawn wagon?
As an SVM professional, you may ask, "Why is this question important for me?" But as an ever-growing number of companies invest in innovation, they will realize a significant portion of this can come from the existing relationships with suppliers.
Forrester surveyed over 1,000 IT executives and technology decision-makers in Q3 2011 about which priorities will have the most significant impact on this year's IT services spend. The top answer, at 56% of the respondents, was the need to innovate and grow their business. In fact, innovation rated higher than the ever-important lowering operational costs (40%)!
To execute on these innovation priorities, you — the SVM specialist — must understand the innovation potential of your suppliers and how to leverage this in the future. Success on this endeavor will require setting the stage. SVM pros need to understand the difference between a supplier-driven improvement — that we expect — and a service or business-focused innovation that needs investment and management. SVM pros can start with three key items: 1) Use an innovation screening checklist to understand who to partner with; 2) educate vendors on business priorities and key stakeholders within the business to enable innovation; and 3) manage delivery-oriented innovation as a part of your daily vendor governance.

Suspect arrested in Eureka priest murder
Family members arranged voluntary surrender
EUREKA, Calif. - Humboldt County Sheriff's deputies arrested 43-year-old Gary Lee Bullock in connection with the murder of Father Eric Freed Thursday.
Bullock was found in the Briceland area of southern Humboldt County around 12:45 p.m. after Eureka Police Department made contact with his family who persuaded Bullock to voluntarily surrender to deputies.
Eureka Police Chief Andrew Mills said family members arranged for Bullock to surrender near a family residence in rural Humboldt County.
According to the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, deputies were already searching the area as Bullock's last known address was in Redway which is about six miles from Briceland.
A grey Nissan Altima that had belonged to the victim was also located in Southern Humboldt. The vehicle has been secured by the Sheriff's Office and Eureka Police are en route to impound the vehicle.
The manhunt started after Freed, 56, was found dead in the church rectory Wednesday on New Year's morning at St. Bernard Church in Eureka. His body was discovered after he failed to show up for morning Mass.
Police said the investigation revealed that forced entry had been made into the parsonage and a violent struggle ensued leading to the priest's death.
Eureka Police described the hours leading up the the priest's death. They said on New Year's Eve someone reported Bullock acting strangely in the Garberville area in Southern Humboldt County. Deputies located and arrested Bullock for public intoxication. He was taken to jail where he was rejected due to his erratic behavior.
Bullock was then taken to the hospital for evaluation where he became more agitated and had to be physically restrained by deputies. Bullock was booked into jail at 4:34 p.m.
Bullock was released early on New Year's Day at 12:43 a.m. At approximately 2 a.m. officers from the Eureka Police Department were dispatched to 615 H Street, regarding a suspicious person. Officers contacted Bullock and found he was not intoxicated, and did not quality for an emergency psychological hold. Officers referred Bullock to an emergency shelter for the night.
Later that morning a security guard heard noise in the area of St. Bernard Church and went to investigate. He saw a person matching Bullock's description and directed him to leave the property after a short conversation.
At approximately 9 a.m. police officers were dispatched to the church rectory where parishioners found Father Eric Freed badly injured. Officers and a doctor, who is a parishioner, determined Freed was deceased. The exact cause of death has yet to be determined and an autopsy is scheduled for Saturday. It appears that there was blunt force trauma to the victim.

Has anyone tried pendall cordovan queens,if so do they have the true cordovan color characteristic.Thanks
Has anyone tried pendall cordovan queens,if so do they have the true cordovan color characteristic.Thanks
I'm just curious. Is Pendall a breeder? Is it a "brand name" like NWC? A variety? I'm afraid I haven't heard of them.
Frank Pendell came to our bee meeting in WV last year. He spoke passionately about his desire to improve bee stock through selective breeding. I THINK I remember that, along with breeders like Strachans, Pendell breeds NW Carniolans from Dr. Sue Cobey, but you should check with them to be sure about this. They are in California and run ads in the bee journals every month. Good luck!
I was planing to order a couple of the cordovan queens from Pendell after the New Year. He advertises open mated cordovans and I have a hankering for some redheads around here. I haven't talked to them yet so I don't know alot about their operation. I bet if you called, they would give you a tour of the operation. I spent alot of time in Glenn County as a kid, and most of the beekeepers up there love to show off their bees.
I did not buy any, but I called them earlier this year. As I recall over half exibit the cordovan trait. If you gave them a call I am sure they would answer any questions you have.

About those wet spots
|01.25.10 at 11:19 pm ET
Before the game even started, the Clippers were not happy with the condition of the floor at TD Garden Monday night. After warmups, the players told coach Mike Dunleavy of their concern. The floor was slippery in spots, particularly under the basket in front of the Clippers bench.
"They brought the captains in," Marcus Camby said. "They brought me, Paul [Pierce] and Kevin [Garnett] and Doc [Rivers] and Mike. It was very slippery out there. I thought it was just one area, but it was all over the floor. I think it was the ice, the humidity in the gym that combined to [cause it]."
The game was delayed for several minutes in the first quarter while the arena crew feverishly mopped the floor. The crew continued its work during timeouts and when the action was on the other end of the floor. According to Rivers, the game was close to being called at one point.
"You know, [referee] Joey [Crawford] was terrific," Rivers said. "Mike and I came together. We, at that point, were very close. The next guy, if anybody slipped in the next two minutes, the game was over. And Joey was going to make that call. Mike said the same thing. We said almost simultaneously, 'We can't afford a guy to get injured on this floor.' "
(Click here to listen to Doc Rivers' complete analysis of the wet floor.)
Camby was not happy with the way the situation was handled.
"Oh my goodness," Camby said. "We were all slipping. It seemed like every Clipper was slipping, then when Ray Allen slips, they want to bring it in and address the issue. So that's what we were chirping about. It was kind of dangerous out there for both teams."
"Terrible," was how Rasheed Wallace summed it up. "Terrible. I think it was condensation from it being a little warm outside and it was warm in the building with it still being winter. It made it a little slick out there. Had to play cautiously the whole game. You can't put them brakes on when you want to because you don't know if you're going to slide. Saw a couple of guys slipping out there like Peggy Fleming. It's part of it when you play in arenas that have ice under the floor."

Reviews of this property
Thank peter and Mathe. I enjoyed to stay in Melbourne. I hope I can see Peter and Mathe in Japan.
We had a lovely time with Peter, Martha and Fletcher in Melbourne. Peter was very helpful and nice and he showed us the way to Chadstone on our first day. We could even bake a cake and celebrate my boyfriend's birthday at the house. Martha can be very direct, which might be irritating for some people, but we got along with her just fine. Overall the experience we had in Melbourne was great!
Great place to stay, very helpful, has been a good experience here :) we will be back
Super Unterkunft , sehr hilfsbereit , hat uns gut gefallen hier :) wir kommen wieder
My time in Melbourne was great! I had a lovely room and a great guest family. It was like my second home with a lovely dog. The way from airport to Murrumbeena was easy and it was great to have the big shopping mall only 5 min away. Maybe we will see us again. Thank you for the good time.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Aufenthalt bei Peter, Martha und dem Hund Fletcher. Sie waren sehr zuvorkommend mit uns. Grosses Haus, viel Platz, und ruhige Gegend. Bis zum nächsten Mal ! Heinz, Hansi und Guido aus CH
Excellent accueil de Peter et de Martha qui font tout leur possible pour que les hôtes se sentent comme chez eux. Toute la maison est ouverte. Ils dispensent également plein de conseils pour profiter et visiter la ville et ses alentours. De plus la situation de leur logement est parfaite : à 300 m d'une gare, à proximité de la High Way et du plus grand centre commercial d'Australie. Merci à vous deux pour votre hospitalité et pour la soirée barbecue.
Reviews for this host's other properties
It was a beautiful stay in Martha and Peter's house and they really tried to make us feel at home. Both are very warmhearted and always helped us out with some good tips and advice. We had a wonderful room with a big window to the garden. We enjoyed some nice dinners together and for sure we swaped some nice recipes and stories about our travel adventures. :) For people who like the life in a shared house it's a perfect place for them.
We didn't end up staying there as it was not what we expected. More of a share house with lots of young people sharing bathrooms, kitchens etc. Hosts seemed a lovely couple with good rapport with guests but not suitable for a mature couple expecting a quiet guest house. Photos of guest house not quite the same as actual house. Would suit younger people!

Do animals dream? What might they dream about? If you're a male zebra finch, you might dream of wooing a female finch. Although science has yet to fully probe the deep recesses of the male finch mind, it appears that something of that sort might be going on.
Neuroscientists Amish S. Dave and Daniel Margoliash of the University of Chicago have shown that sexually mature male zebra finches sing—silently—in their sleep (Science October 27, 2000). It turns out that single neurons in the forebrain song system of the sleeping birds display a pattern of activity that's only seen in the waking bird when it sings. Dave and Margoliash think that this neuronal activity is part of the learning process—the birds are rehearsing in their sleep by dreaming about singing.
Since the awake male zebra finch will sing when a female is presented, it seems natural to ask whether the male finch has an image in mind when he sings in his sleep. Margoliash won't speculate, but if human males are any indication we might imagine they dream of fetching female finches. It's either that or bird seed.
You can hear the song of the awake zebra finch at: http://www.williams.edu:803/Biology/ZFinch/zfsong.html —Michael Szpir

QNS--your sashing looks really nice and you are going to have a beautiful quilt.
I made great progress on my quilt today...all 4 rows are quilted together and the quilting in each of the 12 blocks is finished. Tomorrow I will start putting on the borders...a narrow one, then piano key, then wide one. *Should* be able to get them all done and then binding on Thursday.
I found this wonderful Enlarging/Reducing Scale for Patterns and wanted to share.
This works great when reducing the 12" blocks down to the 6" (or any size you want). I am almost finished with my 6" Honey Bee block that matches the one I made for QNS.
Sorry to hear about Bram's setback Anael, hope he is feeling better.
Dublb - your old Singer reminds me of the one I have. It is a Singer 503A. I bought it new in 1962! I used only that machine until four years ago when I began quilting again. I got my little Brother, then two years later got my Baby Lock, which has a much wider throat so I have more room for quilting.
I am still "looking" at my PC quilt. Mine is smaller than most of yours, as it has five blocks across and seven down. Once I get this sewn together, then I will pull the rest of the PC blocks (those without the horses in them) and get started on that one. I have a number of UFO's I'm also working on.

JeanieG I have some of that pink fabric you used in the Honey Bee block, so funny that we could have the same fabric.
QuiltE DH is home on holidays for 3 weeks, he has so much leave to take he could stay home for 6 months (heaven forbid) 3 weeks is long enough for him
Anael praying that Bram continues to get stronger. I love your quilt..

That's a Honey of a block to go with a of a quilt. Sounds like everyone's getting their blocks. Mine should reach ____ tomorrow if the Postman gets it right! QNS Even in the smallish picture one can see the 3D look of the sashing. It's so fun to watch how the settings unfold. Each so different and unique.
Janie what a cute little cowboy--sew cute in the blue and red setting!
Gotta go--Nicole wants to play a board game. Gnight
Don't worry spider.
I keep house
I donate quilts to the AAQI.
That machine is the 401A that I got ta workin' last month. If ya look there is a 500A sittin' under the cabinet that the embroidery machine is sittin' on. In that cabinet is DH's DGM's Singer 128-15. It is missin a motor. I have got ta git another motor for it. I love sewin' on it. I sold a Singer 66 at my last retreat 'cause it is very heavy & I didn't want ta carry it anywhere again. I didn't even want ta pick it up from the floor ta sew w/it. I also have a Brother that is a 15 clone. It is blue! I have a childs singer that is the same color as the 401A. I have a Kenmore that is 158. I love ta FMQ on it. I think it was made in the early 60's. Then I have 2 modern Singers (Less than 8 years old, both bought new.) I have a Brother that my cousin gave me I think it is about 15 yrs old. Finally 3 cheap Brothers that I have bought in the last 3 years. I have given away several machines in the last few years. My sewin' machine guy knows me by my voice on the phone.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!

President Obama unveils $500 million gun control plan
JONATHAN KARL , DEVIN DWYER and MARY BRUCE / ABC News - Flanked by four children from across the country, President Obama today unveiled a sweeping plan to curb gun violence in America through an extensive package of legislation and executive actions not seen since the 1960s.
Obama is asking Congress to implement mandatory background checks for all gun purchases, including private sales; reinstate a ban on some assault-style weapons; ban high-capacity magazines holding more than 10 rounds; and crackdown on illicit weapons trafficking.
The president's proposal also includes new initiatives for school safety, including a call for more federal aid to states for hiring so-called school resource officers (police), counselors and psychologists, and improved access to mental health care.
Obama also initiated 23 executive actions on gun violence, policy directives not needing congressional approval. Among them is a directive to federal agencies to beef up the national criminal background-check system and a memorandum lifting a freeze on gun violence research at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"I intend to use whatever weight this office holds to make them a reality," Obama said at a midday news conference. "If there's even one thing that we can do to reduce this violence, if there's even one life that can be saved, then we have an obligation to try.
"And I'm going to do my part."
On Wednesday, U.S. Senator Richard Burr ,who represents North Carolina, issued a statement regarding President Obama's gun control plan:
"I will fight any effort to further infringe on the Second Amendment rights of American citizens, whether it is legislation or executive action by the President. I am open to having a conversation about ways in which our nation can address mental health issues and reduce violence, but I will not stand by while the President and others try to restrict the rights of law-abiding American citizens."
President Obama's announcement comes one month after a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., left 26 dead, including 20 children. Obama called it the worst moment of his presidency and promised "meaningful action" in response.
The proposals were the work of an Obama-appointed task force, led by Vice President Joe Biden, that held 22 meetings on gun violence in the past three weeks. The group received input from more than 220 organizations and dozens of elected officials, a senior administration official said.
As part of the push, Obama nominated a new director for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, which leads enforcement of federal gun laws and has been without a confirmed director for six years. The president appointed acting director Todd Jones, the U.S. attorney for Minnesota, to the post, if the Senate confirms him.
The administration's plan calls for aid to states for the hiring of more school resource officers, counselors and psychologists. Obama also directed the Department of Education to ensure all schools have improved emergency-response plans.
He also called on Congress to make it illegal to possess or transfer armor-piercing bullets; it's now only illegal to produce them.
"To make a real and lasting difference, Congress must act," Obama said. "And Congress must act soon."
Officials said some of the legislative measures Obama outlined could be introduced on Capitol Hill next week. The pricetag for Obama's entire package is $500 million, the White House said.
"House committees of jurisdiction will review these recommendations," a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said in response to Obama's announcement. "And if the Senate passes a bill, we will also take a look at that."
The proposals are already being met with stiff opposition from gun rights advocates, led by the National Rifle Association, which overnight released a scathing ad attacking the president as an "elitist hypocrite."
"Are the president's kids more important than yours?" the narrator of the NRA ad says. "Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools, when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?"
Obama has questioned the value of placing more armed guards at schools around the country, although his proposal does call for placement of more police officers at public schools. The NRA opposes most of the other gun restrictions Obama has proposed.
Hurdles for Gun Laws in Congress
Many members of Congress from both parties are also skeptical that some of the proposed new restrictions on gun sales can be effective, much less pass.
"Nothing the President is proposing would have stopped the massacre at Sandy Hook," said Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. "President Obama is targeting the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens instead of seriously addressing the real underlying causes of such violence."
"Is [the assault weapons ban] something that can pass the Senate? Maybe. Is it something that can pass the House? I doubt it," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat and gun owners, told a Las Vegas TV station Friday. "So I think there are things that we know we can do."
Before the announcement, the White House downplayed challenges facing individual aspects of gun-control proposals -- most notably the assault weapons ban -- stressing that no single measure can solve the epidemic of gun violence sweeping the country. They also pointed to successful steps on guns already taken on the state level.
New York State, for instance, approved the nation's most stringent gun-control law Tuesday, tightening a ban on assault-style weapons and beefing up protections to keep guns from the mentally ill.
Obama might travel the country seeking to leverage popular support for his proposals to urge action in Congress, officials said. He is also expected to mobilize his network of campaign supporters to participate in advocacy on guns.
"This will not happen unless the American people demand it," Obama said today of his plan. "If parents and teachers, police officers and pastors, if hunters and sportsmen, if responsible gun owners, if Americans of every background stand up and say, enough, we suffered too much pain and care too much about our children to allow this to continue, then change will come. That's what it's going to take."
Dozens of kids have written to the president about gun violence, officials said, including 8-year-old Grant Fritz of Maryland, who wrote in a letter released by the White House, "there should be some changes in the law with guns. It's a free country, but I recommend there needs be [sic] a limit with guns."
"Their voices should compel us to change," Obama said of the children.
Obama was joined for his announcement by seven cabinet secretaries, including Attorney General Eric Holder, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, other local law enforcement leaders and mayors, and the families of victims and survivors of the Newtown shooting.
Popular Support for Gun Rules
Many of Obama's proposals have strong support in the latest ABC News-Washington Post poll released Monday.
Eighty-eight percent of Americans favor expanding required background checks to buyers at gun shows; 76 percent favor checks on anyone buying ammunition.
New restrictions on high-capacity magazines are backed by 65 percent of Americans in the poll, with 58 percent supporting a ban on the sale of assault-style weapons. Thirty-nine percent oppose such a ban.
The NRA's proposal to place an armed guard in every school received 55 percent support in the survey.

Here again I have old information. I had no idea they were other than a U.S. co-op
Here again I have old information. I had no idea they were other than a U.S. co-op
Here in North East Missouri, I sell quarts for $12.00 pints for $6.50 and 1lb plastic jars for $5.00. If I have any left over, I store it or feed it back to the bees.
The Co-Op itself is comprised of only US members, to the best of my knowledge, however they do purchase a HUGE amount of honey from outside the US to fill certain markets.Originally Posted by Vance G
They have long been established as "The World's Largest Honey Marketing Organization."
Blending member honey is not the issue, Sue Bee has well established markets for bakery grade honey. If I'm not mistaken, Honey Nut Cheerios is one of the largest amongst them. Been awhile since I read all the reports, so don't hold me to that.Originally Posted by VanceG
Walmart says, what Walmart will pay... Walmart says what Walmart will accept... What Walmart wants to pay doesn't buy premium bottle grade honey from any packer, except maybe in China, and they can't import that. Their accepter fellas ain't necessarily real bright either, when it comes to buying honey. They do however cave into lessons learned the hard way, and the Sue Bee brand is supposed to return to their shelves this year. Guess their US, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Wherever road tar honey didn't sell real well, except to beekeepers that took it home to laugh at it.
How do we know what the price to start will bee for this year ? I would like to bring some to the farmers market to get my name out.
the price is never the same from one city to the next and what is posted in the bee mags is not often a good indicator of what one can actually get at your local market just price it a little higher than you think you should and if its not moving then lower it till it does...
Figure out your own price. Then, when you get to the market, if there are other Honey Sellers, set your price a little higher than theirs and don't lower it to try to increase sales. You may not sell the volumes that others do, or sell out as quickly, but you will make more per pound and you will stay in the consumers eye longer.
Remember, you are not selling honey to get rid of it. I hear this at bkprs mtngs every now and then. "I couldn't get rid of my honey, so I lowered the price." Why? It's not like melons or strawberries, which will rot if not sold. You are building a customer base for YOUR honey. It takes time and persistence and lots of honey.
How much do you think you should sell it for?
Mark Berninghausen
NC Beekeepers association is buying honey at $3.50/lb limit 2 pails from established members for this years (2012) State Fair. So I'd guess that makes a good bench mark for local honey in our area.
That may be a good bench mark for wholesale but not retail at the farmers market. And I agree with sqkcrk sell it next year or the year after unless your hurting for money

Student Groups
Student groups are a great way to meet other students while exploring your interests, developing leadership skills, and becoming active in the U campus community. More than 700 student groups meet regularly, host events, and serve the community.
Make a difference in the world and have fun doing it! Volunteer in the local community. Or take a service-learning course. They combine classroom study with volunteer work. The U can help you volunteer at a local organization that matches your interests and values. This is a great way to gain experience, explore careers, and meet people. If you volunteer, check out the Community Engagement Scholars Program.
Campus Leadership and Involvement
Campus leadership opportunities are structured experiences offered by University departments and colleges. These positions serve the campus and offer opportunities to work closely with other students, faculty, and staff.
Learning Abroad and Away
Imagine living with a host family while taking classes in Mexico, doing a research project in England, or interning in a clinic in Ecuador. There are hundreds of opportunities. Don't want to go so far away? Try the National Student Exchange and study at a different university for a semester. Or spend a semester off campus in the Twin Cities.
Research experience helps you integrate what you learn in class with ongoing exploration and discovery and lets you work one-on-one with professors. You can do research through directed credits, a student job, volunteering with a faculty member, or taking part in the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program. Be a part of solving problems like hunger and disease.
Student Employment
Working on campus provides the perfect balance: earn money, develop skills, gain experience, and become involved! Campus jobs are conveniently located, flexible, pay well, and often lead to other opportunities. You can also use work-study funds to hold part-time community service positions off campus.
Employers today expect graduating students to have real-world experience in their chosen field. An internship is a way to get that experience while still in college. And it's a way to explore what day-to-day work is like in careers that interest you. Some majors at the University even require internships in their curriculum.
The Student Employment Leadership Program offers workshops & activities to complement the student work experience. The program is geared towards the professional development of undergraduate student employees and provides opportunities to promote growth related to the University's Student Learning Outcomes.

Ricketts wants to be tested
Samuel Ricketts says Wolves must continue to deal with their status as one of the promotion favourites if they are to achieve their aim of promotion from Sky Bet League One.
Wolves have regularly come up against teams who have raised their games this season, but both Ricketts and Head Coach Kenny Jackett have re-iterated that was always expected given the club's recent Premier League status.
And the skipper thinks it is something the squad should be relishing ahead of the Boxing Day visit of Crewe Alexandra (3pm).
"We have to look at it like last Saturday – Rotherham had virtually a sell-out crowd a few days before Christmas for a game they'd been looking forward to for a long time," he said.
"That's the sort of atmosphere and scenario we face everywhere, whether we're at home or away.
"It's generally the biggest game of the season for the opposition so we deal with that every week.
"You can tell by how much it means to teams by the reaction of teams and fans on the odd occasion when we've lost this season.
"The opposition fans, players and backroom staff react as if they've just won the FA Cup so that just shows how 'up' they get for the game and how we have to match that as well.
"It's a good test for us; they raise their game but it's what we relish.
"They can come to us and relax - they're expected to get beat, they're not expected to do well, we've got a fantastic stadium and the atmosphere will be great.
"But sometimes when you take the pressure off players, they relax and play to a much higher standard to what they would normally do.
"I think we've found that a lot this season but we've coped with it very well.
"As a player, I want to test myself and I like people trying to give their best against me.
"I've been on the other side of it as the underdog and you raise your game against the big sides - what it means is that, for us, there are no easy games.
"Now we're the big side and we relish that – you have to show the opposition we're playing against that there's a reason why we play for Wolves."
Ricketts now views the forthcoming fixtures with Crewe and Leyton Orient as a chance to try and improve on recent results and cement a spot among the automatic promotion chasers at the top of the league.
And he says any dip in standard or indeed application from the players will be picked up by their team-mates as well as the coaching staff.
He added: "If you're not pulling your weight there's not just the manager but as players we expect full effort and we demand it from each other.
"And if it's not happening then something will get said.
"I thought everyone on Saturday really tried and worked hard and let their ability show.
"But if you're not prepared to work hard, you can have all the ability in the world but you won't be able to show it.
"If you look at the best players in the world, they're athletes first and foremost.
"You have to work hard to earn the right to play and show yourself off.
"These games are now a chance for us to show what we want to do this season.
"We've got ourselves into a good position – we've just recovered from losing two games in a row and we're still joint top of the table.
"So it shows just how well the first half of the season has gone for us.
"This is a chance for us to show what a good side we are and that we can really achieve what we want to do."

This Morning: Google Tops $1,000 for 1st Time , AMD Plunges, Cheers for Amazon
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Google (GOOG) are up $111.21, or over 12%, at $1000.00, crossing the magical thousand-dollar threshold for the first time, after the company last night beat Q3 expectations as revenue-generating ads rose 26% and the company claimed it was making progress on mobile. The shares have been above and below the $1,000 line in the last hour, with $1,007.40 being the high so far today.
Price targets are zooming this morning, though there don't appear to be any actual ratings changes yet, that I can see.
Topeka Capital's Victor Anthony, reiterating a Buy rating, and raising his price target to $1,100 from $1035, notes that year-over-year paid click growth of 26% "Is significant given fears that the Enhanced Campaign (EC) transition pressured search volumes."
"This is also a clear signal that the underlying core search business remains robust after 12 years."
Even the bears seem charmed, with Dan Salmon of BMO Research this morning reiterating a Market Perform rating and and $890 price target, writing "we continue to believe that Google should see margin erosion over time as mix shift moves away from search, creating some risk for downward estimate revisions next year."
"But it's good to be a bellwether in an uncertain technology sector, and Google's continued expansion of its international presence puts it in a great position to capitalize on a European economy that appears to be working through its trough."
Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are down 50 cents, or almost 13%, at $3.59, despite last night beating Q3 expectations and forecasting above consensus for Q4's revenue as well.
Merrill Lynch's Vivek Arya this morning cut the stock to Neutral from Buy, and cut his price target to $4.50 from $6, writing that the weak PC market is going to continue to offset upside from the video game console chip business.
The gross margin of 36% has some spooked. Adam Menaker of MKM Partners, reiterating a Market Perform rating, writes "the company is willing to emphasize topline acceleration vs. earnings acceleration."
"We would get more positive on AMD's long-term outlook were we to see semi-custom design wins outside game consoles, and share gains in server and embedded, although we are concerned that gross margins on those businesses won't match those of computing."
Analysts are still mulling the Q3 warning issued a week ago by Citrix Systems (CTXS), which was followed by the company's announcement this week that CEO Mark Templeton will take a temporary leave of absence for family reasons.
Deutsche Bank's Nandan Amladi, reiterating a Buy rating this morning, cut his price target to $80 from $82, writing that "Although the company did not clarify the reason why its results would fall short of prior guidance, we suspect that it could be continued slowdown in the Desktop business and macro headwinds in EMEA."
"Numerous technology companies that have recently reported have indicated of weakness in EMEA. The Desktop business has been slowing in recent quarters, and it's still early for XenMobile to offset the weakness in core Desktop business."
Shares of Citrix are are down 25 cents, or 0.4%, at $57.
Shares of Amazon.com (AMZN) are up $11.98, or almost 4%, at $322.75, after UBS's Eric Sheridan this morning raised his rating on the stock to Buy from Neutral, and raised his price target to $385 from $305, based on "our expectations for a re-acceleration of revenue growth and paid unit growth in Q4 and beyond (indicators being strong seasonal hiring trends, video game/console sales, easing paid unit comparisons, AWS)" and "the globalization of its Kindle ecosystem" and "its under-appreciated Advertising business."
Sheridan's colleague, Steve Milunovich, reiterating a Neutral rating on shares of Apple (AAPL), and a $520 price target, this morning cites data from privately held Good Technologies, which activates corporate mobile workers' devices showing dominance by Apple's iPhone and iPad. "iOS's share of activations was 69% in 2Q and 72% in 3Q," notes Milunovich. "The share of new Android activations rose from 23% in 4Q/12 to 30% in 2Q and was 27% in 3Q; iPad recovered its share momentum in new tablet activations from 84% in 2Q to 90% in 3Q though still below the 93% share in 4Q/12."
Apple shares are up $4.37, or 0.9%, at $508.87.


text: i've seen those...and it doesn't impress me. i mean almost 900 for the price of the basic kit and the glock to mount it on, why not just get an AR and then you have the versatility to buy new uppers and shoot various rifle calibers. just my opinion though.

Multiple destinations
Rules can cover a list of multiple hostnames, domains or arbitrary IP address ranges, helping you to simplify your ruleset.
A firewall protects your computer against unwanted guests from
the Internet.
But who protects your private data from being sent out?
As soon as you're connected to the Internet, applications can potentially send whatever information they want to wherever they want. Sometimes they do this for good reason, on your explicit request. But often they don't.
Little Snitch intercepts these unwanted connection attempts,
and lets you decide how to proceed.
Take a look under the hood to see at a glance who talks to whom. The Little Snitch Network Monitor raises the bar of network traffic monitoring to an entirely new level. The realtime diagram provides fine grained traffic information, combined with powerful yet simple options for analyzing bandwidth, traffic totals, connectivity status and much more.
Whenever an application attempts to connect to a server on the Internet, Little Snitch shows a connection alert, allowing you to decide whether to allow or deny the connection. Your decision gets stored as a rule which will automatically be applied to future, similar connection attempts from the same application.
There are times where you don't want to get interrupted by any network related notifications. With Silent Mode you can quickly choose to silence all connection warnings for a while. You can then later review the Silent Mode Log to define permanent rules for connection attempts that occurred during that time.
Have you ever wondered why a process you've never heard of before suddenly wants to connect to some server on the Internet? The Research Assistant helps you to find the answer. It only takes one click on the research button to anonymously request additional information for the current connection from the Research Assistant Database.
Rules can be arranged in different profiles like "Home", "Office" or "Mobile Internet". This allows you to use different sets of filter rules depending on the network you are currently connected to.
Profiles can be activated either manually from the status menu, or automatically, whenever you join a network that's associated with one of your profiles.
Little Snitch not only reveals any outgoing network connection attempt to make sure that sensitive data doesn't leave your computer without your consent. The inbound firewall in Little Snitch provides you with the same level of control for incoming connections.
Rules can cover a list of multiple hostnames, domains or arbitrary IP address ranges, helping you to simplify your ruleset.
Various rule lifetime options allow you to create rules that are effective only for a limited time.
Rules are created for a specific process owner, making it easier to define rules for system level processes such as web servers.
Rule suggestions are based on your previous network usage profile and can be turned into permanent rules with just a single click.
This rule type enforces connection alerts for particular connections, even if some other, more general rule would already allow or deny these connections.
Little Snitch automatically analyzes your ruleset and shows any redundant, overlapping or invalid rules, helping you to keep your ruleset simple and clean.
Rules that are effective for an entire domain can be created right from within the Connection Alert.
Quickly switch between profiles, turn on Silent Mode, access your rules, and see a summary of current network activity.
