any theories/advice?
June 16, 2004, 02:41:45 PM »
Greeting bee people! I am very happy to have just found beemaster.com -- it looks like a great forum with a great design and interface and nice folks.
I am a 1st year keeper in Ohio with a grand total of 1 hive installed from package on Easter this year...I am already addicted to this and quite impressed at how patient these Italians are with my ham-fisted blunderings. On my last inspection I went mostly sans vail and gloves with no incident, despite badgering the hive for 30-40 minutes.
Anyway, on to my situation. The hive really seemed to be doing great for a while. The first full inspection found the queen in good shape and laying away. By my second insection, mid-May, they had just about completely filled a single deep box with good brood patterns, some capped honey, pollen, etc.--right by the book. I wanted to put on a second deep right then but didn't have one and didn't do it until two weeks later, May 22. At this time I found a couple of what appeared to be queen cells on the face right at the bottom hanging just up to the bottom bar. I figured I was too late adding space and they were planning to swarm, but wishfully hoped that giving the extra room and flipping the boxes might talk them out of it--so I did that.
On May 30 I dove back in to see what was up. I couldn't find the queen, and only larvae, no eggs, though I wasn't that thorough. The aforementioned queen cells were still there as well as another similar cell on another frame. The foraging only strengthened since then, so I don't think they ever swarmed.
On June 12, late in the day something started going on. While foraging continued pretty vigorously, little waves of bees would push in and out of the entrance, some standing stock still around the landing board and others on the face of the hive. I have a large entrance reducer in place still (I'm sure that should go) and the traffic was so great that foragers really had to fight to get back in. A good cloud of bees formed, consisting of returned foragers looking to land and a lot of aimless hoverers. I figured they were about to swarm for sure, but no, and the same behavior started in the early afternoon the next day, and again on the next. This last day I watched pretty intensely and noticed a very large number of drone flights (maybe 1 in 15 or even more) and I think I saw an unmarked queen (so not my original) come out and crawl about 6 inches up the face of the hive. As I pushed my face up to make sure this was a queen, she came near one of the aformentioned stationary bees who grappled her and the two tumbled off out of my sight.
The next morning the landing board was covered with bees just ambling around, and flights were way down from what I am used to seeing at that time. Foraging picked up later in the day but was still not quite right, with a lot (maybe 50) of totally aimless bees on the board.
I opened the hive yesterday and thoroughly checked every single frame, searching for queen--it took about 40 minutes. No eggs, no larvae, only capped brood. Kicking myself for not being meticulous about finding eggs and the queen problem sooner. The original queen cells are gone. I did see several cells near the bottom of 2 frames that looked different from anything I had seen before. They are about the size of an actual queen, and they basically stick straight out from the frame and are smooth, lacking the kind of hex imprint visible in the queen cells I know about. They look like a bullet and through the translucent sides I think I can see a bee. The population is still good, with all 20 frames at least partially covered with bees.
I am thinking the original swarm cells were used for supercedure after the box-swap, and that what I saw happen was one of the supercedure virgin queen's flights. But I don't think she made it back, and that they are now ambling and lazy because they are queenless, and have been for several days, with no prospects for a queen other than maybe those weird bullet shaped cells? But really, those don't look right from pictures I have seen.
If anyone would like to comment on this mess, offer a theory, or give advice, I would be appreciative. I have an NWC queen on order via priority mail from California (I'm in Ohio) that won't get here probably until the weekend. How bad is this hive going to suffer? Is there anything I can do to help them along?

Queen cells on the bottom of frames are swarm cells. Supercedure cells are built in the middle to top of a frame.
When a hive swarms, the old queen leaves (with bees of course) before the virgin queens hatch from the swarm cells. So your first queenless inspection might have happened between the old queen leaving and virgin queen hatching.
The congestion in front of the hive could be solely caused by your entrance reducer and normal bee activity. It is quite common to see major spirts of activity in front of a hive.
How long has it been since the queen cells have been gone. Depending on the weather, it could take up to 10-14 days for a virgin queen to be mated and start laying.
The bullet cells you see are drone cells.
thanks Beth :lol:
Just make sure there is no queen when you introduce your new queen. You might even consider not letting the bees release her, but after a few days, release her yourself so that if she is balled, you can put her back in the cage for a while.
I hope you ordered a marked queen, so you can tell when she has swarmed or superceded.

Queen/Swarming Issue

:( Sorry to hear of your swarming problems. Having kept bees since I was quite young (30+ years) I have seen your predicament quite a few times. To sum up my experiences, I would say be prepared! Anticipate what your hives needs will be next and what your next move will be (after they get the second hive body filled etc. etc.). Are your supers ready?
To rectify the situation that you had, I identify the queen and place her and the frame that she's on in a separate hivebody (I keep a spare one with me at all times while in the bee yard) and put the innercover on top (to keep it dark and to keep her clam- the last thing you want her doing is flying). Next I systematically check each frame and remove anything that remotely looks like a queen cell. This move will buy you time until you can get your crowding problem rectified. I would repeat once a week until you get the second hive body on and then a couple of times even after you get it on to ensure that they are out of the swarming mentallity.
Here's a shot at what could have happened to your hive: Many times they make more than one queen (sometimes 3,4,5 or even 6). Initially the first queen out of the cell will fight with the existing queen and the loser leaves and the winner stays- but not always... On occasion both take some of the bees and leave. Leaving the hive queenless until the next queen hatches. Or on occassion one of the queens hatches and they fight etc...( process repeats until all of the queens have hatched)...... and with the hive being split multiple times. To say the least this is a money losing proposition. I have had hives split 3 or 4 times leaving only a handful of bees in the hive, not to mention leaving the hive succeptable to robbing or moth infestation. Not a good scenerio...
Most of the books you read on the subject of beekeeping tell you how to do it in great detail but don't note the preparation required. If you have a double hivebody anticipate that they will fill between 3 to 5 supers in a decent year and up to 9 on an excellent year. So Keep an extractor at hand or keep enough hive bodies around to meet a years worth of need.
Remember, workers hatch every 18 days- this means at a minimum your bee numbers will double at 18 day intervals.
Hope this helps.

|SVT Performance (2002-2004) The place to chat about any 2.0L SVT DOHC Zetec engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|HERE is the how to specifically for the SVT. It's basically the same has a normal Zetec t-belt job. Now there is a little controversy on whether to break the cam bolts loose to set the timing (step 26 in the link I posted). I've done it both ways and they both work. I would try it with out breaking them loose first. If you get a cam timing code then it means the Intake cam VCT moved a little. Just re time and and see what happens. Only time I ever got that code was when fixing a botched t-belt job. They didn't make sure the motor was at TDC, it was a pain fixing that SVT. Took 3 days of working on it and retiming and retiming. I ended up having to move the VCT a tooth then try it then another tooth till it didn't throw the code anymore. Just make sure and follow the instructions and you should be fine. Make sure you have the cam tools to do it too.
You really think so? I am a "half assed" mechanic from time to time and I have a nice shop where I keep my Saleen and all of my tools. Maybe I will try this over the Christmas leave I have coming up. Can you pm me your email and maybe phone number in case I get froggy and want to dive into this and need some advice?
Thanks Brother,
James (Puke)
|If you worked on Mustang your self you can surly do the t-belt your self. There are many how to's on here. Really it's not that hard I have done over half dozen easy, and I'm about to help another local member do his too. Even fixed botched up t-belt jobs. Just follow the directions and you can do it. Don't be scared just because it's a DOHC engine.
That is the exact information I was looking for. Thank you Brother. My other car is a Saleen Mustang and I do most of the work myself and have a pretty good idea what the other stuff costs ( the stuff beyond my abilities), The SVT Focus has me a bit stumped as I have never played around with a DOHC engine. Thank you so much for the advice.
FF rocks and I thank you guys for all of the help and advice.
Thanks again,
|300 parts in labor sounds reasonable to me and I wouldn't go higher than that. Though I've heard of people paying up to 600 which is unreasonable and sky high IMO. You can get a Gates T-belt kit off of Rockauto for roughly 75 bucks or so. For 600 bucks I would consider for clutch change lol
Timing belt replacement cost
I cannot find any info on the previous owner of my SVT or whether the timing belt has been replaced. I have 144K and an thinking better safe than sorry. I am not burning oil and have absolutely no other issues except the stupid O2 sensor going bad every few months.
I am wondering what I can expect to pay to have the timing belt replaced both high and low range. Can anyone give me some info on your experiences and perhaps reccomend a shop either here in the Dallas- Fort Worth area or the Killeen area where I am stationed in the Army?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
James (Puke)

"Loved the grilled toppings and drizzle on this. Left off the goat cheese but otherwise made as-is. I had used an inexpensive shell and it was obvious. Next time I'll use a homemade dough or a more expensive shell and possibly try to grill the pizza rather than using the oven."

I think the next Constitutional amendment should require a federal balanced budget except in the case of Declared War.
Quote from: Brian D. Bray on May 02, 2009, 07:10:07 PMI think the next Constitutional amendment should require a federal balanced budget except in the case of Declared War. I agree, and I believe that term limits would greatly help keep spending in control, because the same ole politicians would not be afforded the luxury of making promises every campaign over a 30-40 year time span. Once they get deeply entrenched, they learn how the machine runs and how to manipulate it.The question that stays in the back of my mind is what is going to happen when China says no?
my gut reaction to term limits is that it takes responsibility from the voter. of course, i think the majority of the voters are irresponsible anyway. they don't take the time to know issues before they vote.
We have all seen how much money a congress and president can spend in a short period of time since January. The reason I think that term limits would be more effective is that the good ole boys network would be interrupted and the politicians would not spend their entire time in office making sure that they spend the money on the right people with re-election being their sole purpose for actions while in office.

Thanks guys! We're very excited!Brendhan, as long as she only has varroa and not AFB. I don't think my wife would like me doing the "ropeyness test" on our new baby. lol Hate to have to burn that hive too! HAHA Man, that's werid. If you guys look at the black and white pic, you can see her hand in front of her face. Well when we were watching it live she was putting her thumb in her mouth and sucking on it. In that pic she was getting ready to do it again.The 3d ultrasounds were kinda spooky since the baby is still early. The face looked more like a skeleton than a baby. But it's definately a girl!

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by roscoe36, Feb 11, 2009.
Alright, I'm in now.
great draft.... for the 5 of us that showed up.... bad marks to you other 5.
Oh crap. I totally forgot. I am the world's worst Commish.
Actually, with the computer taking decisions out of your hands today, you made some of the best picks I have ever seen you make.
My team sucks. I'm a little disappointed no one posted in the thread to remind others. Anyway, I was asleep at draft start anyway. I got a ton of email, and completely missed the Yahoo reminder notices.
Don't feel bad. I just remembered myself. My team sux......
I mentioned a while back that I'm "Midgets on Parade".
Well, Darth and Round were both present for the draft, so at least you don't have the worst team.
Darth is eerily quiet lately. Is it possible he ran out of things to say?
Never. Be careful what you wish for... I was THRILLED to get the 8th pick. It allowed me to get the guys I wanted. I took a couple of chances, but nothing too crazy. As I often do, I drafted my pets at the expense of "better players". But, I've been incredibly blessed the last two years. I have no illusions that I can win three years in a row, so why not indulge myself with favorites this year? I think I have a competitive team, and if not, I can always fix it. My friend "Know all" just now phoned me after he just saw the Yahoo reminder email from last night. The four of us who were there had fun despite Bill Laimbeer's presence. In fact, we enjoyed laughing at his lame-o picks.:p:D
hey i resemble that remark.... and my team was going great till you jinxed the tigers and picked some of there team members up.... the kiss of death, yes..... given to the 09 tigers by bill
How about A-Rod with the 6th pick in the 4th round? Pure genius....
I usually never get any Tigers. I hope I don't jinx them. I couldn't turn down Magglio at #6. I think Verlander is going to break out this season. Getting him in the 12th round will turn out to be a steal. I just picked up Carlos Guillen to cover for A-Rod until his steroids kick in and he's ready to suit up.
I had to work yesterday, so unfortunately I couldn't make the draft. I have WAY too many OFs on my team, so if anyone is looking to make a move, let me know. I could use some pitching help.
Someone send some trade offers. My team looks IDK.
Latino King, Be careful. Some people will try to take advantage of you. Your team looks pretty decent to me. Make sure you get a second opinion on trades especially until you get a better feel for the league, who you are dealing with, and a better idea of what's going on. It's not really my place to say, but I would advise you to PM Roscoe because I think he would be neutral and willing to help a rookie GM. I'm sure if any offer is totally lopsided or ridiculous, as commissioner, he would let you know. If Roscoe can't be bothered, ask someone else you trust. Not all people agree on all trades, but some offers I've seen are absolutely insane. I would hate to see you ruin your season before it began. If you want to make a deal, assess your needs first. Then you will have a better idea of what's going on. It's OK to do this general offer thing, but it rarely is successful. Best way is to see who/what you need or want...and pm another GM with an offer.
Get a second opinion, but I will not nullify a trade if both parties are happy with it. I have learned that this is a bad way to go. 3rd parties always have an opinion on someone else's trade. We've got all forum vets except KnowAll in this league, and KnowAll is Darth's Friend which basically makes him Mother Theresa, so he's cool too. There was a good example in ADV Basketball this year, people were flipping out over a trade, that ended up working brilliantly for the party the critics thought would be the loser in the deal. People have to make mistakes and be given a chance to take risks. As long as the trade is in good faith, I don't care how lopsided it may seem. Darth will probably win this darn league anyway, lol Yours truly, Laissez-faire sports commissioner PS, Don't ask me for advice on a trade. I am the biggest trade idiot in fantasy history.
I was a victim of people flipping out in my first basketball Novice league. Again, you may make mistakes (and will make some), but why make them if they can be avoided? Trades are always risky, but overall I've seen them work out well for everyone. I still urge you to be careful and take at least some precautions before making a trade. It could save your season. I would have pm'd you. I'm not looking for controversy, but I wanted to reach all the rookie managers and I speak from experience.
Trades in Fantasy Sports are always the biggest cause for controversy. There's no perfect formula for handling them. Everyone - including the commissioner of the league - have a vested interest in how they turn out and as a result, it's impossible to be completely unbiased. That's why I always think that less interference is the best. As Roscoe has said, if both sides are good with the deal, and no clear collusion is expected, the trade should be allowed to go through regardless of who "won" the trade (which of course is subjective). Having said all that, we have an excellent group of fantasy GMs here at PF.com and I've had BY FAR the best time and least amount of problems in these leagues. The advice given by both Roscoe and Tater is spot on. Excellent advice for Fantasy Novices and Vets alike. Now that all that is out of the way, who wants to trade me their first round pick for my 7th round pick and a guy I just picked up off of waivers? Common, it's a 2-for-1 trade. You can't possibly go wrong!
so i was thinking about picking up a few players.... a guy named barry bonds... heard he had some power, and always need another power pitcher so thinking rodger clemens.... any helpful tips?

The Flavor Picker Add-on adds a lovely and functional Header to the top of your page. Preview a live example.
Oh man! These flavors are fun! I want like a million of them! Can I?
Please don't. Really, 3-6 flavors are the most that can fit in the header without causing overlap. If you are really into this kind of information organization you should probably look into tabs within your page.
My flavors are overlapping or look shmooshed, what is going on?
You have probably tried to put too much text into the title field and the text field for your flavor. Keep it short and easy to read.
Why can't I put an image in here?
It looks bad. On a few occasions a small logo can work in the content field for a flavor but more times than not it takes over the content. This isn't a page, it's just something pretty to give information and direct people to points in the page or other points in the site.

Make sure you read the new mag. Everything in it is truth and what we need to do is Have the back of that person and make damn sure we protect him from any and all political ramifications or reprimands.
When we have folks stand up to tell the truth, we should not stand by silently. We must circle around him or her and protect them.
I will be following the issue as it plays out.
Here is some BS for you. Now anything that is of publication must be approved by the governor more or less. Are you kidding me?
Why dont the reporters and outdoor magazine writers just go to the Governors office direct and get his opinion on the matter and call it a day.
We are watching our Fish & Wildlife division right before our eyes being silenced.
I hope you guys dont stand for this crap!
Circle the wagons around the guy who gave that interview. Protect him. Very valuable man who speaks about how our resource was stomped into the mud. We need guys like that standing up for the resources and the sportsmen of this state. THE DAY THAT VOICE IS SILENCED is the day we loose as sportsmen to have a voice.

Football historian LEIGH EDWARDS profiles every Arsenal player from 60 post-war League seasons
Outside-left Alf Calverley played for Arsenal during the 1946/47 campaign. Initially with hometown Huddersfield, he guested for several clubs during the Second World War prior to joining Mansfield Town in June 1946. He moved to Highbury for £2,500 in March 1947 and made 11 First Division appearances for Arsenal before being sold to Preston North End for £1,500 four months later. Joining Doncaster Rovers for £4,000 in December 1947, he was an influential figure in their 1949/50 Third Division (North) title triumph but injury problems curtailed his playing career in December 1952. He died in Sheffield in October 1991.
England U-21 striker Kevin Campbell featured in Arsenal's 1990/91 League Championship success. Signing professional at Highbury in February 1988, he grabbed a hat-trick in that season's FA Youth Cup final triumph and was an influential figure as Arsenal won both the FA Cup and Coca-Cola Cup in 1993, then the ECWC in 1994. He netted 46 goals in 146 League games for the Gunners before being sold to Nottingham Forest for £3,000,000 in July 1995, starring in their 1997/98 First Division title triumph. Moving via Trabzonspor to Everton in March 1999, he has since played for West Brom and Cardiff City.
England international central defender Sol Campbell scored for Arsenal in the 2006 Champions League final. He turned professional with Tottenham Hotspur in September 1992 and was ever-present in 1996/97, starring as they won the Worthington Cup in 1999. Joining Arsenal on a Bosman free transfer in July 2001, he was an important figure in the 2001/02 'double' success, also helping the Gunners win the Premiership title in 2003/04 and FA Cup the following season. He gained 29 of his 69 England caps whilst at Highbury, netting eight goals in 135 Premiership games for Arsenal before moving to Portsmouth in August 2006.
Winger Jimmy Carter was a member of Arsenal's squad that won both the FA Cup and Coca-Cola Cup in 1992/93. Initially with Crystal Palace, he moved via QPR to Millwall for £15,000 in March 1987 and starred in their 1987/88 Second Division title triumph. He joined Liverpool for £800,000 in January 1991 and George Graham paid £500,000 for him nine months later. Scoring twice in 25 League games for the Gunners, he was loaned to Oxford United before joining Portsmouth in July 1995 and rejoined Millwall in July 1998 where a back injury ended his career. He is now a property investor based in Crieff, Scotland.
England U-21 international Tommy Caton played alongside David O'Leary in the heart of Arsenal's defence. A former Manchester City apprentice, he made his First Division debut as a 16 year-old in August 1979 and was ever-present in 1979/80. He featured in two FA Youth Cup finals and the 1981 FA Cup final, moving to Arsenal for £500,000 in December 1983. Scoring twice in 81 First Division games, he was sold to Oxford United for £180,000 in January 1987 and joined Charlton Athletic for £100,000 in November 1988 where a foot injury ended his playing career. He tragically died of a heart-attack in April 1993.
Ex-England Schoolboy midfielder Brian Chambers played for Arsenal during the 1973/74 campaign. Signing professional for Sunderland in August 1967, he moved to Highbury for £30,000 in May 1973 and his solitary First Division appearance was in Arsenal's 1-0 win at home to Birmingham City five months later. He joined Luton Town for £30,000 in July 1974, then moved to Millwall for £25,000 in July 1977 and featured in their 1977/78 FA Cup run. Later with Bournemouth, Halifax, Poole, Salisbury, Dorchester, Swanage and Poole's player-boss, he is now a financial consultant with Allied Dunbar in Bournemouth.
England U-21 striker Lee Chapman played for Arsenal in the 1982/83 FA Cup semi-final. The son of Roy Chapman, he turned professional with Stoke City in June 1978 and was twice top scorer prior to joining Arsenal in August 1982. He netted four goals in 23 League games before being sold to Sunderland for £100,000 in December 1983, then played for Sheffield Wednesday, Niort (France)?and Nottingham Forest before moving to Leeds United in January 1990. Top scorer in their 1991/92 League Championship success, he then played for Portsmouth, West Ham, Ipswich and Swansea. He runs Teatro winebar in Soho.
Versatile Welsh international Mel Charles was capped six times whilst at Arsenal. The younger brother of John Charles, he signed professional for hometown Swansea in May 1952 and played in two Welsh Cup finals, helping Wales to reach the World Cup quarter-finals in 1958. He joined Arsenal for £42,750 plus Dave Dodson and Peter Davies in March 1959, scoring 26 goals in 60 First Division games before being sold to Cardiff City for £28,500 in February 1962. Later with Portmadoc, Port Vale and Haverfordwest, he had business interests in Swansea, where he still lives. His son Jeremy was also a Welsh international.
Ex-England Amateur international right-back Stan Charlton missed just two games for Arsenal in 1956/57. The son of the former Exeter City full-back of the same name, he starred for Bromley prior to joining Leyton Orient in July 1952. He was twice ever-present for the O's before moving to Highbury with Vic Groves in a joint £30,000 deal in October 1955. Making 99 First Division appearances for Arsenal, he rejoined Orient in December 1958 and skippered them to the top-flight in 1961/62. He became Weymouth's player-boss in May 1965, then a district manager for a major pools company and Weymouth's secretary.
Full-back John Chenhall featured in Arsenal's 1952/53 League Championship success. He had a spell with Maidenhead United before turning professional at Highbury in November 1945 and helped the reserves win the Football Combination in 1950/51. Given his League debut in Arsenal's 3-1 win at Charlton in October 1951, he provided cover for Joe Wade and Lionel Smith, making 16 First Division appearances and helping to win the Football Combination Cup shortly before joining Fulham in July 1953. He was ever-present in 1953/54 and moved to Guildford City in July 1958, then ran his own car business and now lives in Bristol.
Former England international wing-half Eddie Clamp was George Swindin's last major signing for Arsenal. Turning professional with Wolves in April 1952, he starred as they won the League Championship in two consecutive seasons and the FA Cup in 1960. He moved to Arsenal for £34,500 in November 1961 and briefly played under former Wolves team-mate Billy Wright at Highbury, scoring once in 22 First Division games before being sold to Stoke City for £14,000 in September 1962. Later with Peterborough United, Worcester and Lower Gornal, he was a self-employed builder in Wednesfield and died in November 1995.
England international outside-right Danny Clapton featured prominently as Arsenal finished third in the top-flight in 1958/59. He played for Leytonstone before turning professional at Highbury in August 1953 and made his League debut in Arsenal's 1-0 victory at home to Chelsea on Christmas Day 1954. Helping reach the FA Cup sixth round in two consecutive seasons, he represented the Football League and netted 25 goals in 207 First Division games for the Gunners before joining Luton Town for £6,000 in September 1962. He played for Corinthians in Australia, then was a publican in Hackney until his death in June 1986.

Was disappointed in the fact the eyedropper tube is plastic and sitting in the solution leaching for who knows how long before use. The brand I usually buy has a glass tube, which I prefer. This one is not bad on food for the taste, but not so good in tea. The amount I have to use to taste the sweet in tea is so much more than my previous brand and then you can taste this stevia "aftertaste". My other brand only needs a drop or two for the sweetness in tea and no strange flavor. Don't think I will buy this brand of stevia again.
Suprisingly yummy

This is a great alternative to splenda, aspartame, etc.. It's really sweet. I don't taste any sort of aftertaste at all. I love it.
Disappointed - other brands more concentrated

I usually use NuNaturals but the product is so popular that iHerb has been out of stock for over a month. So I decided to try this Now brand due to the high review. Well this product is diluted. I have to use 3 times as much product then I do if using Nu Naturals. NuNaturals is currently 8.38 for a 2 ounce bottle. The Now Better Stevia is currently 6.41 for a 2 ounce bottle. So since I have to use 3 times as much for the same sweetness I will end up spending 19.23 versus 8.38 to achieve the same level of sweetness. Also NuNaturals states that 5 drops is 200 mg of Stevia. No where on the Now Better Stevia bottle does it state how much stevia per serving, NO WHERE. I cannot recommend this product. Stevia user since 2004.

Me and my daughter have tried stevia liquid in a fruit smoothie and tea and I think the taste is better than splenda or nutrisweet. No after taste and as sweet as sugar, but healthy.

text: Sep 17, 2012 - This is the absolute best oil I have tried and believe me, I have tried them all. Macadamia, argan, Ojon, and they all contain silicones. My hair likes certain silicones but not the ones they use in these oils. The fabulous thing about the Mongongo Oil is that it contains NO SILICONES! My hair is in love with this stuff. When I went to get some of the new Co-Wash at my local Ouidad salon I saw this oil and decided to buy the 2 oz bottle ($36). Now I am thinking I should have bought the big one (4oz/ $58). I wasn't sure how it was going to work and that's the reason I didn't buy the big one. If it didn't work out I would be left with yet another oil in my arsenal of oils. Thank you Ouidad! I will be buying this oil for many, many years to come!

I also had another thought - if the swallow swarm becomes an annual event at the same time of the year maybe there is something you can do to prepare for next year. Where in relation to your hives were the swallows snapping up the bees?
I would venture to say that you are loosing far more bees each season to predators that you never see, and some that you wouldn't even think of. Just yesterday I saw a Robber fly perched on my trellis, eating a baldfaced hornet that he'd caught. Life is an everyday gauntlet for the field bee.You see all those swallows swooping down on your bees and it's right in front of you, but it probably is a drop in the bucket, overall in terms of total losses of bees. And even so, killing a few swallows, though it might make you feel like you did something about the problem, probably won't make much of a difference either, unless you've got a lot of time on your hands and you're a really good wing-shot (and lax local enforcement of the federal migratory bird act).Like Bjorn said, it's some kind of human instinct to go out kill all of those things that we perceive as causing us trouble, or costing us money, or maybe just mildly irritating us. And you just can't convince some that it's far smarter money to take other protective measures.If you killed everything that ever did harm to one of your bees, that'd be one big pile of dead bugs, animals, and people.

Arsenal's recent comebacks have been the perfect response to their critics, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Frenchman has seen his players dig deep to hit back from two-goal deficits against Aston Villa and Tottenham at Emirates Stadium while two late strikes saw them pick up three vital points at Sunderland.
Arsenal's spirit has been questioned in some quarters but Wenger says those concerns have been answered.
"When people want you to be bad, they tell you that you are bad," he told Arsenal Player.
"Sometimes you have to accept that you are questioned but sometimes the questioning is not always based on facts. But we have to live with that and I believe the best answer is to give the kind of performance we gave against Tottenham, not to talk too much and play.
"[The derby] was an important victory but for me it was significant because we won with style and desire. On the day we produced the performance we wanted, and if you look back in the championship, we are on a good run.
"It is good to be inspired by our performance [against Tottenham] and hopefully it will help us to produce another one of the same level because that will be wanted at Liverpool."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
My girl is somewhere between 4 and 6 years old (no one can pin her age down since her previous owner cut down all her teeth and clearly didn't go to a dentist to do it) and our exercise schedule varies between:
4-6 short walks (15-20 min each) a day + 3 sessions of fetch lasting 20-30 minutes each
4-6 short walks a day + 2 sessions of fetch at 20-30 minutes + 1 hour vigorous hiking/exploring
This depends on my work schedule, season, etc. I work on commands/training with her at least every other day. She does well with this and is conked out the day following any day that involves hiking
My last dog was a beagle, who wouldn't even walk a mile
Really though, she is my first shepherd and I am surprised by how "little" exercise she needs/wants. This amount of exercise keeps her at a healthy weight & keeps her boredom at bay. She starts to go a little stir crazy though if I'm laid out (super sick) for a couple of days and we drop to just the walks.
For general health I try and do about an hour a day. Sometimes its more or less pending on my schedule or her mood. Sometimes she more energetic then others. My buddy has a Mal with a relentless engery level its play play train play train walk run ALLL DAY, or else it wont sleep at night. (pretty funny actually) However, hes a Marine and does cross-fit so hes just as off the wall and the dogs perfect for him.
My typical day is 2 20-30 minute walks and about 20- 30 minutes of obediance or ball play
Thanks all for the honest answers. My pups can certainly go for a lot longer than I usually do. I could hike for hours and they would still be ready for more. But I don't find it "necessary" for them to settle.
I guess that was my "point". It has been a very yucky winter. And we are now expecting another 9 inches of snow. And yes, my pups get a bit wound up, it's never been intolerable. All of them have great "off switches".
My pup does need to build more endurance, so I plan on upping his cardio now that the weather is better and the days are longer.
If I count the play time with my pack and outside yard time, it probably works out to more than I stated. Just was curious, if I was an anomaly.

I ..don't ..have a structured exercise routine for him ? We are an active family..but the weather has been awful lately. The kind of crusty hard snow that breaks through all over the place and is a danger for twisted everything on dogs and people.
He is real attached to my kids , one of which has autism and is never sitting still. So he is kind of always moving . I was concerned about " running " him before one year of age , so it has pretty much been multiple walks and games of tug here and there throughout the day. Now that he is 1 , and the nice weather is coming I will do my daily 3 mile run with him in addition. And hikes.
I just realized come June 2nd all 3 of the kids will be and school all day so we'll probably hike a lot too. Because I need to be more active too lol
My pup is restless and doesn't really settle unless he has some intense exercise. We don't have a place to walk, but have an acre of land so I use a chuck-it for his exercise as well as a flirt pole. He's been on crate rest (again) and just got to play with his beloved chuck-it again in the past couple of days. He's been fairly good in the house, he's not hyper, but doesn't lie around and snooze at all either. I'm looking forward to wearing him out so I can have some peace in the house again, since he's too much into the cat's business all the time otherwise.
To answer your question, he actually doesn't require that much exercise, he just needs something that really pushes him for a fairly short period of time. 30 minutes of hard running and he's decent in the house. I usually do it 2 or 3 times a day in addition to his training.
|Wild Wolf
Hunter went two weeks straight without exercise and he was fine, but I wasn't. I like to get out and DH and I are super active, outdoorsy people. If Hunter doesn't get any walks, on a rainy or super cold day, he is chill around the house and you can't really tell.
Living in the apartment we had to go out for exercise, often drive somewhere. They couldn't even really play in the apartment because it was so small. Now that we are in a house, my two get playtime inside (they have play time in my carpeted basement), playtime in the fenced yard. They get IPO training once a week until the weather improves, obedience/tracking/scent detection through out the week and whenever we go on hikes or excursions (which is often) they come with us.
Mine do get a lot of exercise, not because they need it, but because that is just our lifestyle. I've never trained so much in my life, either... seems like we are training during all our free time during the day.
I love it, though. Not complaining, neither are the dogs. When we are relaxing inside, they are sleeping.
|When she was a crazy one year old, three mile hike or half hour playing fetch at a tennis court then a half hour walk every day, off leash fetch in the yard or at a park at least three times a day, plus working on long downs in the morning while my husband had his coffee. Now they get a few marathon play sessions in the yard in the morning, then half hour walks at night because it is very cold. We work on obedience/ handling in exchange for breakfast and dinner, and Skadi gets a half hour German obedience lesson every day while I work on teaching Grim to fetch.
Sinister could go forever without a walk, his energy is whatever I want it to be.
Draco really needs to be walked but it has been really cold around here and Draco does not do well in the cold because he is a sissy so we have not been going for walks for several months but he does need them and he has been getting very restless lately.
Sinister is low/medium energy and Draco is medium/high energy but both settle well in the house until Draco gets the zoomies and runs around the house like a mad man with his Kong Wubba.
So their exercise for right now is chasing each other in the yard for a couple of hours a day, wrestling with each other pretty much all day and chewing on bones, playing tug-o-war and their Everlasting Treatball, Everlasting Treat Wheeler and their Everlasting Fun Ball. We also work on basic obedience for 10-15 minutes a day.
Wanted to add, when we go for a walk it's usually between 2-5 miles and I do consider that as exercise for the dogs, we are not slow walkers. They almost always end up off leash at some point and get to run around like fools.
During the week, my boys are out in the yard all day, which I don't count as 'exercise'. Every night I take them out in the pastures and let them free run. Some times we play fetch. Then we go to the pond and most nights they'll swim.
My GSD will come to me when he's tired. My Lacy....rarely tires. We bought a remote control speed boat to use in the pond. The Lacy will chase it. THAT will get him tired. I get to sit on my butt and he does all the work.
If the dogs start getting snippy with eachother, I know I need to exercise them more. I do a lot of mind games like laying tracks and playing find it with them.

After 20 minutes of running the engine @ 2000 rpm under load the gauge read approx 185, the infrared reading at the base of the thermostat housing was 175, cylinder head was 175: After 25 minutes gauge was approx 190, thermostat 181, cylinder head 180: After 30 minutes gauge was approx 210, thermostat 187, cylinder head 187. That was enough for me. I idled the motor for 5 more minutes and shut her down. There is steam coming from the exhaust and although I've noticed this in large cruising powerboats before I've never noticed much if any from my boat in the past. I've removed all hoses and ensured they are not blocked. The impeller checked out OK as did the FW cooling pump. The only thing I haven't removed is the cast iron riser where the exhaust gasses and spent salt water combine. I imagine there must be some blockage at that point. I'm convinced from what others have reported for temperatures and my own readings that I definitely have a problem.
Re: How hot does your diesel run?
Having had other problems with my engine I've been monitoring the engine temp for several months now (fresh water cooled 3GMF). The temp at the top of the thermostat housing using an infrared thermometer runs ~185. Sounds to me like your engine is running fine temp wise.
Re: How hot does your diesel run?
perkie ran at 180 or just under---even when bashing against current from zihuatenejo to barra de navidad.. my ericson has 2qm20h which runs very cool to downright cold. even under load.

Re: How hot does your diesel run?
Our 1979 Westerbeke 30 (Four-91) runs at 180' at moderate to high cruising speeds. If you push it hard on full throttle for too long it gets just slightly hotter. If you pull it down just slightly below full, it jumps right back to 180.
|My M3-20B is showing 160 degrees at 1400 rpm pushing a CAT30 on a dead calm 85 degree day.
Re: How hot does your diesel run?
Re: How hot does your diesel run?
both raw water and recirculated water cooled engine run at the same internal temperature
they both burn diesel. the metals used are the same and the oil is the same. in fact they are the same engines. the reason they run a lower temp thermostat in the raw water cooled engines is because the thermostat needs to open and start letting in raw water at a lower temp so the metals will not be allowed to heat up to high and then get shock cooled by the cold raw water. on a 2GMF the thermo is set to start opening at 159 and full open at 185 degrees F. the raw water models use a 108 to 125 degree F thermostat
Re: How hot does your diesel run?

What thermostat is installed? If it is a 180°F then that's where the engine ought to run.
Most engines, marine or otherwise run at around 85°C (185°F, sorry I am metricated ) as controlled by their thermostats.
Closed circuit cooling systems can run hotter because they are pressurised and the boiling point of water is higher when under pressure. As a general statement, engines run more efficiently the hotter they run which is the primary reason for pressurised cooling systems. Raw water cooled engines will run on a cooler thermostat because there is no pressure but they should still run at the temperature regulated by the thermostat. Lesson over.
So if your engine is running at considerably less than 185° (or whatever the rating of your thermostat) then you should be concerned because it is less efficient and is probably experiencing accelerated wear. And your thermostat has either been removed or is stuck open.
Re: How hot does your diesel run?
The important thing to remember with temp gauges is that they may not be an exact reading of the true temp (off even 10 or 15 degrees), but the changes are very significant. For instance, once the thermostat has opened it should come up to a normal operating temp (usually 180ish) and remain there. If the temp fluctuates w/ a change in RPM's, dropping at lower RPM's or rising as you go up, you have a cooling problem. If it begins to creep up (not in a day but over successive trips) from whatever is the normal operating temp, your impeller has probably lost a few vanes.
After a bit of time you will have a good idea of your normal operating temp reading on the gauge and can keep an eye out for changes. Your engine should run at the same temp for half an hour or 20 hours; time should make no difference.
There are odd times, usually in extreme conditions, where the engine is working much harder than usual and the temp can go up a few degrees, but it should never go above 200 (from 180ish), no matter what. I hope you also have an audible alarm, because a plastic bag or something else could cause a blockage in the line and the temp will go up very quickly to damaging levels, unnoticed on the gauge.

It's fast, dignified, affordable, and flexible. It's the Katrina Cottage, Marianne Cusato's nifty alternative to the ugly FEMA trailers that were handed out after Hurricane Katrina. Welcoming and concise, the prototype house's pitched metal roof, yellow fiber-cement siding, and vernacular simplicity has resonated with people worldwide.
The Katrina Cottage was born after DPZ's Andrés Duany asked the architects' team at last fall's Mississippi Renewal Forum to develop immediate affordable housing that respects the place. Cusato's design—the first to come from the charrette—was constructed at the International Builders' Show in Orlando last January. "You can show a cute drawing, but when you have something physical to show, there's a spark," Cusato says. "We needed that forum for people to walk through and see that at 300 square feet, you can have a pretty nice house." For Cusato, who just launched Marianne Cusato Associates last August, the eruption of interest has caused her to shift course, exploring possibilities for adapting the concept beyond the Gulf Coast. "My business was growing, then Katrina happened," she says. "I've decided this is really what I want to invest myself in. I'm intrigued by the possibility that we might be able to come up with a partial solution to the major problem of affordability in this country."
This April the Senate approved $1.2 billion to build the Katrina Cottages. But while Cusato has little control over public funding, she is working privately to disperse her design as plans to consumers, as a kit of parts that contractors or Habitat for Humanity volunteers could assemble, and as a turnkey modular system. The simple design works in most U.S. regions, she explains, and as the idea grows it could be adapted. Interest has come from abroad, too. Just recently, a non-government association asked her to work with a local architect to create a model for the people of Ghana.
"The Katrina Cottage goes beyond emergency housing to affordable housing," Cusato says. "Why are people living in double-wide trailers? We're hoping to take this to the next level." It's a small house, but a big idea.
verbatim what drew you to this path? "I see a real need—and opportunity—for change in the way we approach emergency and affordable housing. I think that by using ideas like the Katrina Cottage we can redefine the word affordable. The excitement that the prototype of Katrina Cottage 1 has generated gives me the encouragement I need to keep pushing the idea forward. We have support for the idea; now we need to make it a reality."
what were you doing 10 years ago? "I was studying architecture at the University of Notre Dame."
what do you hope to have achieved 10 years from now? "I'm hoping we can turn the panelized modular housing industry into a [vehicle for delivering] good design affordably to the masses. I'd love to personally work toward making that happen."

Largest Earthquakes in the United States
Very interesting info.. People think of the obvious faults we keep hearing about.
One of the most devastating quakes America ever had was New Madrid Missouri. A rating of 7.5 to 7.7 was only and estimate, as their was no real equipment to record it at the time..
Native Americans reported whole forests vanishing.. Rivers changing course.
Do not forget New England. Major fault lines there including under Manhattan N.Y..

OGDEN, Utah – The Northern Arizona men's and women's tennis teams have both been picked to finish second in the preseason Big Sky coaches' polls, the conference announced Thursday. Sacramento State was picked to repeat as both men's and women's tennis champions. Both Lumberjack teams finished second in 2010 and advanced to the Big Sky Championship final.
The Lumberjack men finished with 53 points, including one first place vote. Sacramento State garnered 63 points and seven first place votes, while Montana received 47 points and one first place vote to be picked third. The NAU men's tennis team returns five of six starters this season, including two-time All-Big Sky first team selection Andrew Reiff. Sophomore Hugo Ramadier returns for his sophomore season after being named All-Big Sky second team as a freshman, while lone-senior David Flodberg will play his final collegiate season after going 14-6 overall and 8-0 in the Big Sky in 2010 and earning conference Honorable Mention honors.
NAU's women's tennis team is once again picked to finish second after falling to Sacramento State in the 2010 Big Sky Championship for the fifth-consecutive season. The Lumberjack women garnered 55 points and one first place vote while the Hornets received 64 points and eight first place votes. NAU returns all-six starters from 2010, five of whom earned All-Big Sky honors. Senior Edit Suhajda received her third All-Big Sky first team selection after posting a 13-6 overall record and a 7-1 conference mark in 2010. Also returning are All-Big Sky second team selections Orsi Golovics, Yumi Hasegawa and Malia Wahinepio and honorable mention honoree Nicole Perez. The Lumberjack women went 13-7 overall and 7-1 in conference play last season.
The NAU men being their season on Monday at Scottsdale Community College, while the women will begin their 2011 campaign next Friday, January 21, at No. 49 Arizona. Both teams will play their first home match in Flagstaff Athletic Club East on March 5.

Posts Tagged 'Chic'
French fancy…
February 10th, 20100
How do French ladies do it? Looking chic and fashionable in such an effortless way? It is a question that has flummoxed us for years. Aside from their proximity to the fashion capital itself, Paris, French women know how to balance just the right amount of fashion and style. So what's their secret?
Style. It's simple, French ladies will wear one trend at a time and work it to perfection rather than covering themselves head to toe in the latest fashion fads. These women seem to have the innate ability to spot a fashion classic, whilst we're still wearing leggings (in every colour, texture and print imaginable).
So how do we do the Parisienne chic thing? The key is great basics, a classic white shirt, great fitting trousers, the perfect fit coat and lashings of black. French women are also more conservative when it comes to flashing the flesh, in other words, they don't! Sexiness is achieved by leaving what is underneath to the imagination, rather than showcasing your assets in a more obvious way. It's a look that takes practice to perfect, but effortless chic never goes out of fashion.
If you're not quite ready for spring trends just yet, why not try the French opulent look by teaming your basics with hints of velvet, silk and plenty of embellishments. A brocade dress or puff ball skirt works well to achieve the luxurious look that makes this trend what it is, but remember, subtlety is key when doing it the French way!

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by PeterG, Mar 23, 2011.
Motown week! Song spoilers from the East-Coasterers are much appreciated!
I suppose you want us to identify the singer too rather than just snark about them.
JLo sporting blue eye-shadow in an homage to the sexy 60s?
Naima looks really good.
OK, Peter. Casey's singing Heard it through the grapevine.
He's growling like the Wolfman.
I like Casey and all but I am kind of over him. I can't imagine listening to an entire album of his nor sitting through an entire concert. Plus, I think he might be a little on the crazy side.
It would be great if you identified what he and she sings. For the others...whatevah.
I remember really liking Casey in his audition but for some reason now he just annoys me, he's a performer and I appreciate that but his voice just doesn't appeal to me...
ETA- Singing I heard it through the grapevine, I think somehow though the vine was slaughtered...
Casey well advised to scream less... unfortunately that only reveals what I have thought since the beginning... he can't really sing.
Oh he's screeching his way through "Heard It Throught the Gravepine."
Steven Tyler saying he has perfect pitch? What?
I just downloaded Anoop Desai's 9-song EP from Billboard.com. And you can too!
Casey....Heard it Through the Grapevine....he's wearing thin. Judges will love it.
Casey's new hair do does look nice though... too bad his beard still looks like a squirrel nest.
I'm working a puzzle and looking down quite a bit, but I happened to look up when she was judging Casey and at the eye shadow.
I guess Casey was better than when he was OTT growling and crazy... Did I hear Steven comment that he was on key? I'm not musically talented but he sounded off in several spots.
isnt heatwave one of those idol bad luck songs?
Thia much better this week, pretty girl and moving around big moments of power in her voice, very strong, but is she forgetting some of her words?
In my favorite performances of his during the audition rounds, he was not screaming or growling. For example, when he did Georgia on My Mind. His tone in the beginning of Teen Spirit actually was pretty nice. But, I don't really like it when he shouts and, unfortunately, I think he's been encouraged to get growly and shout and look crazy. None of his pre-Idol stuff that I've seen is really shouty and growly. He originally was going to sing a Boyz II Men song last week.
Thia singing Heatwave. It doesn't suit her at all. She can't sing a sexy song. I'm really disappointed in her compared to her auditions.
Did she forget the words and kind of get lost a little?
holy eyeshadow j lo, i think it goes all the way to her forehead
Yes, and it's not as if there are a lot of them.
Thia singing "Heatwave." Not much heat, but her voice and control are excellent for her age.
to be fair the words are stupid
Thia always looks lost to me, whether she's giving an interview or singing. at Heatwave. I can't believe the judges were positive with her, to me she added nothing to the song. It was like bad karoake, but worse b/c she didn't have a screen to remind her of the words.
Yes, mlp, I think everyone in the history of Idol to sing Heatwave ended up in bottom 3. I think they all survived though.
Thia sounded good at the start, but those high notes, eek. Casey gave his worst performance so far.
I miss Karen Rodriguez who probably would have done a Spanish "Aint too proud to Beg"
Good luck Jacob, Kelly Clarkson sang the hell out of this song and it was one of her weaker performances, lmao.
Jacob singing All I Need to get by.
Jacob sounds better tonight...definitely better when he controls it.
LOL...I guess Steven liked it.
Just put a damn wig on Jacob. It is a real drag show up there. What is wrong with me? I don't like his singing, at all...the judges rush the stage...
Ok, this is enough. Steven rushes the stage, they let fans on the stage. Why not just tell us to not even vote because he is going through no matter what.
Surprisingly, Jacob isnt nearly as annoying this week as he usually he is...
Jennifer pulling a Paula
I'm guessing Steven liked this.

Summit Board of Education approves funds for new buses, roof repairs
November 28, 2012
The Summit School District's capital reserve projects have been planned for the 2013-14 school year. The board of education approved funds for roof repairs in two locations, the purchase of two new school buses and an allocation of $100,000 for mechanical, electrical and plumbing contingencies.
Two of the district's school buses have reached nearly 200,000 miles each and are scheduled for replacement. The old buses will be sold in a bidding process.according to Mark Rydberg, director of business services. The vehicles are often bought by private buyers, and do not come close to defraying the cost of their replacements. Last year three buses were sold for a grand total of $13,000. A brand-new bus costs around $125,000.
Roof repairs were deemed necessary for a portion of Summit Cove Elementary and a portion of the Upper Blue Elementary. The current roofs are ballasted EPDM roofs (the name refers to the rubber-like material (EPDM) of the roof and the method in which it is attached).
"We want to seriously look at seeing if we can get a better roof that has a longer life with less leaking," Rydberg said.
The board has budgeted $800,000 for the repairs, although exact costs won't be known until contractors have been chosen and more evaluations have been made. The plan is to repair the roofs during the summer months so as not to interrupt school hours. Summit Cove will have roughly 21,000 square feet replaced, and Upper Blue will have roughly 45,000 square feet replaced.
The board approved $100,000 to be set aside for general repairs including mechanical, electrical and plumbing for the 11 buildings under its jurisdiction.
"It's a traditional contingency amount that we spend on all types of items that come up," Rydberg said.

Scotstoun gets off its mark
July 9, 2010 by localnews · Leave a Comment
photograph by Stuart Maxwell
Glasgow's £18m re-vamped sports stadium at Scotstoun got off to a flying start on Wednesday 7 July with the Super8 athletics meeting. And while the eight cities competing were welcomed by Councillor Archie Graham inside the stadium, Glasgow city workers were on picket duty outside.
Councillor Graham informed the sparse crowd in the 5000 capacity stadium, that Glasgow has invested more than £100 m in the city in the past decade. Scotstoun stadium was part of its plan to become the Scottish Capital of Sports and would be a venue during the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
A fun relay race launched the evening with Glasgow Warriors rugby Club, Scottish Rocks basketball club, Wildcats netball Club and the city's own Athletics Club competing and the athletes winning the trophy.
But there will be no trophies – and no bonuses or overtime pay – for the Culture and Sport Glasgow workers who stood in solidarity at the gates. Four unions – Unison, Unite, GMB and BECTU – are taking strike action in a dispute over a wage cut of up to 10% for more than 150 of their members, a pay freeze for other colleagues and cuts in public holidays and overtime rates for all. Said spokesman Sam Macartney: 'We are here to let the public be aware of the dispute. Some staff have lost between £1000 and £2000 a year. Glasgowlife, as Culture and Sport is now called, is prepared to spend thousands of pounds bringing in a security company for this athletics meeting, but it is not prepared to spend a few pounds to resolve this dispute.'
A spokesman for Glasgowlife said: 'This dispute is not about job losses. We have promised to protect jobs and services at a time when many other staff in public and private sectors are facing redundancy. But Glasgowlife must make savings of £3.4 million in the current financial year. As a seven-day-a-week service, enhanced overtime payments – such as effectively triple time on a bank holiday – have been replaced with plain-time overtime payments.'

Help for troubled homeowners expands to C.O.
Program pays off past-due amounts to avert foreclosure
BEND, Ore. - Distressed homeowners in all Oregon counties can now apply for the Loan Preservation Assistance program at www.oregonhomeownerhelp.org, NeighborImpact officials said Friday.
Funding will be diverted to other parts of the state if Central Oregon homeowners do not act, the agency said.
Loan Preservation Assistance is the newest program offered by the Oregon Homeownership Stabilization Initiative, designed to help Oregon homeowners that have recovered from a financial hardship but have past-due payments threatening foreclosure.
The Loan Preservation Assistance program will preserve their existing mortgage by paying off past due payments and fees in order to bring their mortgage current. By doing so, homeowners are more likely to avoid foreclosure.
NeighborImpact, with offices in Bend, Redmond, Madras, and Prineville, can help homeowners apply for this funding.
For qualified applicants, the Loan Preservation Assistance program will make a one-time payment for the total amount of past due payments and fees up to $20,000, the maximum dollar limit, which will be sent directly to their mortgage lender or servicer to bring their mortgage current.
"We are very happy to help our neighbors avoid foreclosure," said Laura Fritz, housing director at NeighborImpact. "We are here to assist homeowners through the application process, answer questions and most importantly, listen."
The Loan Preservation Assistance program has new opportunities to apply every two weeks on Wednesdays at noon, please check the program page at www.oregonhomeownerhelp.org or contact NeighborImpact for availability schedule.
The program was initially available as a pilot in Benton, Polk and Yamhill counties and is now available to all Oregon counties. The Oregon Homeownership Stabilization Initiative website provides helpful information about the application process, including a how-to video that answers the most common questions about the program.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Ohio Lottery Commission is trying to draw attention to serious messages about problem gambling by depicting outcomes of some humorous bets.
The characters in the "I Lost a Bet" media campaign include a bearded man dancing atop a table with rhythmic gymnastics ribbons and another guy wearing a dog costume and crouching in a crowded elevator. The billboard and TV ads refer to the campaign website, where funny scenes precede serious messages about damaging effects of problem gambling.
The lottery's marketing director describes it as "the applesauce with the medicine."
The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/1c0IOgk ) the ads target young adults, especially men, statistically shown to be most at risk for gambling addiction.
The $1.5 million campaign is funded by taxes paid by horse-racing tracks that have slots-like video machines.

This club is amazing from looks to functionality. If ping makes a better club then we will all be pros. Shot shaping is easy and gives you confidence before you take your first swing. Get this club. So what if you cant tune this club. Why would you want mess with perfect? You can get a project x shaft to increase loft. With long penatrating hits its all you need. Global golf is awesome from customer service and fast shipping. They work with you if you have a problem and reward with loyalty.
Tried 4 different clubs on the range, this one, RBZ, Callaway Razr, and the R1. The i20 was a last minute suggestion by the pro. Out of all of them, this was most consistent and longest out of the group.
It actually kicked the infamous Rapture V2 out of the bag. That good! Ping makes one heck of a driver!
Hit this driver now almost 250m. Beats my Nike Driver with 20m.!
Easy to hit
