Why dogs won't 'come'
April 9, 2012
A common frustration with dog owners is that their dogs would rather smell dirt, roll in a dead fish, eat vomit and chase chipmunks rather than come over to us. In times of emergency, we need our dogs to respond to us as well. In order to train a dog to come, it is helpful to first understand why they don't.
An obvious reason many people do not consider is that their dog is truly deaf! Deafness is not rare in dogs and sometimes can be linked with albinism. Older dogs can also lose their hearing. So it is good to know your dog can actually hear you before you spend a lot of time trying to train them to respond to verbal or auditory signals.
Some breeds such as northern breeds (e.g., huskies) and sight hounds (e.g., greyhounds) have a highly developed instinct to explore independently or to chase. These attributes allowed these dogs to survive in harsh climates or chase down game at 40 mph. For centuries these traits have been selected by humans to mold the best dogs for a specific job. Unfortunately, as companion dogs in an urban society, these traits are not helpful. Yet, it is crucial for the owners of these breeds to understand and respect their instincts and noble heritage.
Humans also do a great job at actually training dogs not to come to us. We do this by repeating their names over and over again so our dogs become desensitized. We do the same with the word "come."
We say "come" to our dogs when we have not actually trained them to come. We say "come" to our dogs in circumstances where there is not a way for us to make them come over, or in highly distracting environments. We say "come" in a harsh command like we are barking a military order (who wants to come over for that?). When our dogs finally do come over to us, they get punished. Or our dogs are having a great time off leash, and we call them over to us, put the leash on and take them away from fun. Dogs are not stupid. If this happens a few times, they will learn not to come over to us if they are free. Moreover, from a dog's point of view, if they can get us involved in a rewarding game of chase by not coming when called, even better! And if getting caught means getting punished, well then, don't get caught!
So how do we get our dogs to reliably come to us? Stay tuned for the next article in this series "More Interesting than Dirt."

I spend a lot of time talking to INBT students about careers and companies. A question that comes up often concerns "is that a good place to work?".
All employers, (companies, universities, non-profits, even government) contrary to articles in the popular press as a rule want to be "good places to work". During the recruiting and hiring process they will all emphasize their commitment to their employees. Much of this is self-serving blather and should be taken with a grain of salt, but clearly no organization sets out be a workplace where people are dissatisfied.
In particular, employers do try to be cognizant of the needs of specialized talent such as highly trained scientists and engineers who may be critical to corporate success. None of this, of course, means that factors such as profitability, market conditions, competitive realities and goal achievement don't matter or occasionally overwhelm other factors. It also doesn't mean that there are no bosses or co-workers who are jerks, places where expectations are unrealistic or situations where work pressures appear too high. Science–focused companies do, for very logical reasons, recognize the importance of scientists.
There are innumerable "best places to work" surveys: in local papers, chamber of commerce type magazines, the business press and on websites. Knowledge–based industries tend to do well on these. Also, for logical reasons, there is a correlation between profitable, growing enterprises and high rankings in workplace conditions.
Science magazine conducts an annual survey of "best employers". A link to the 2013 results for the biotech-pharma research industry is below. The top 20 read like a Who's Who of these companies. The key ingredients appear to be innovation, treating employees with respect, social responsibility, vision and high quality of work. The survey doesn't mention issues like salary, job security and benefits (probably because it assumes the industry is very competitive on those areas).
Here is my personal view: take it all with a grain of salt, but consider the factors mentioned. Additionally, before making a career decision, if possible get a good sense of what employees say about the company and the specific organization.

More Scarborough Country on "Bill O'Reilly's strange obsession with NBC"
Research ››› ››› KURT DONALDSON
Media Matters for America senior fellow Paul Waldman appeared on the January 8 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country to discuss, as host Joe Scarborough called it, "Bill O'Reilly's strange obsession with NBC." Other participants in the discussion included attorney and author Bob Kohn, and Congressional Quarterly columnist and MSNBC analyst Craig Crawford.
During the segment, Scarborough reiterated his challenge to debate O'Reilly, saying: "My challenge to Bill O'Reilly, because he said there wasn't a single conservative at NBC News -- I think Tucker Carlson and I would both disagree. And I said I would be very willing to debate Bill O'Reilly anytime, anyplace, anywhere, and we can debate who the real conservative was and who the Republican suck-up was."
From the January 8 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country:
SCARBOROUGH: Bill O'Reilly's strange obsession with NBC continues. He's already gone after everybody here, from David Gregory to Brian Williams, even throwing Al Roker under the bus. His contempt for all things NBC even led him to go after the show Law & Order this afternoon on his radio show for a supposed left-wing agenda. And tonight, he went after the hit NBC show ER. Take a look.
[begin video clip]
O'REILLY: NBC is taking a sharp turn to the left, not only in their news department, but also in their entertainment programming. Listen to this from ER.
CONDOLEEZZA RICE (secretary of state): We might have been responsible for the attack, obviously. We will do the forensics on it --
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I can't even look at her.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You don't think she's a role model? I mean not for me, but you gotta admit she's impressive.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: If Shakita needs a role model, she can turn on Oprah.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Well, but what if Shakita wants to be secretary of state?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Well, then she can look up Madeleine Albright.
O'REILLY: Now, that scene was completely unnecessary to the narrative in ER. It was thrown in there simply to demean Secretary Rice. This kind of thing is happening more at more at NBC, and these two men are the reason. Programming chief Jeff Zucker presides over both news and entertainment and supposedly answers to Robert Wright, although many believe Wright is on his way out.
[end video clip]
SCARBOROUGH: So why has Bill O'Reilly singled out NBC for rage? Here now is Paul Waldman. He's a senior fellow at the media watchdog group Media Matters. And Bob Kohn, he's the author of Journalistic Fraud [WND Books/Nelson Current, 2003]. Also, MSNBC political analyst Craig Crawford. He's the author, appropriately enough, of Attack the Messenger [Rowman & Littlefield, 2005].
Paul Waldman, let me begin with you. You studied Bill O'Reilly for an outfit that Bill would say obviously leans left. Why is he obsessed with NBC? Why has he now expanded it beyond NBC News? Why is he now going after NBC Entertainment, when, of course, we could go after Fox Entertainment shows and movies all night that have their own liberal bias?
WALDMAN: Well, maybe it's because his attacks on the NBC news division have become so ridiculous. And this all started when NBC decided that they were going to call the war -- the civil war in Iraq a "civil war." Now he's mad because an NBC reporter said that the execution of Saddam Hussein was a PR problem for the United States, which it is. And so what we find is, when people actually state the facts, but they happen to be facts that don't reflect too well on the Bush administration, he calls it "liberal bias." And there --
SCARBOROUGH: Well, hold on a second. Wait. You know what, though, Paul Waldman. What we have to point out, too, is if NBC News is biased, then the guy who's really my favorite columnist, Charles Krauthammer, who works for Fox News, who's won a Pulitzer Prize, who's been long called one of the smartest conservatives, a neocon, this is what he had to say also about the hanging. He said, it was "a rushed, botched, unholy mess that exposed the hopelessly sectarian nature of the Maliki government." And, of course, Krauthammer was one of the reasons why I supported this war from the beginning, Paul. And now he says the hanging has shown that this government in Iraq is not worth more troops. Why doesn't Bill O'Reilly go after The Washington Post? Why doesn't Bill O'Reilly go after Fox News? They have Krauthammer on their payroll, don't they?
WALDMAN: Yeah. And, you know, as they once said on The Daily Show, the facts have a well-known liberal bias. And I think this is the problem that Bill O'Reilly has. When things don't go well for the Bush administration, anybody who says that is obviously carrying water for the liberals or the Democrats, and so he's lashing out at NBC. But, you know, I noticed, Joe, that you challenged him to a debate, which he has not yet said that he's going to meet that challenge --
SCARBOROUGH: And, of course, here's my challenge. My challenge to Bill O'Reilly, because he said there wasn't a single conservative at NBC News -- I think Tucker Carlson and I would both disagree. And I said I'd be very willing to debate Bill O'Reilly anytime, anyplace, anywhere, and we can debate who the real conservative was and who the Republican suck-up was, because I'm saying the same thing now that I was saying back in the 1990s when Bill Clinton was president, when everybody was calling me a right-wing lunatic. I haven't changed; everybody else has.
WALDMAN: And, you know, Bill O'Reilly likes to say that, if you attack somebody but you don't have the courage to face them, that you're a coward. He calls people cowards when they won't come on his show. He's attacked Media Matters. We've asked to appear on his show to answer his charges. He won't do it. You've -- he's criticized NBC. You've challenged him. He's not going to do it, because the fact is that the coward is Bill O'Reilly.
SCARBOROUGH: Well, I'm not going to call him a coward, but I will say this: I've always defended Bill O'Reilly, and then he said that somehow NBC News, the people that I worked for, and myself also, were aiding, basically, the enemy, that we were supporting the enemy when we called this thing a civil war. Hey, I called Bosnia and Kosovo a civil war back in '95, '96, '97, and the sectarian violence in Iraq is at least as bad as the sectarian violence right now -- as it was in Kosovo as it is now. Now, O'Reilly tried to corner [NBC foreign affairs correspondent] Andrea Mitchell into naming one conservative at NBC News. Take a look at this exchange.
[begin video clip]
O'REILLY: Can you tell me one conservative thinker at NBC News?
MITCHELL: How do you define conservative?
O'REILLY: I dunno. Traditional values, maybe supports --
MITCHELL: Are you talking about commentators or are you talking about news --
O'REILLY: Anybody. Give me anybody. Is there anybody over there who's conservative, in your opinion?
MITCHELL: Yes, I think there are a lot of people --
O'REILLY: Give me one.
MITCHELL: -- who are privately conservative or privately liberal.
O'REILLY: Give me one.
MITCHELL: But we don't judge ourselves by how we approach the news. We approach the news --
O'REILLY: OK, I just look at all your on-the-air talent in the Today show, and I love those guys, all right? They're all liberal, every one of them.
MITCHELL: I disagree.
O'REILLY: All right? They all admit they're liberal, Andrea.
MITCHELL: I don't think so.
O'REILLY: Have you asked [Matt] Lauer, and [Meredith] Vieira, and Ann Curry? They'll admit they're liberal. And when Katie [Couric] was there, she admitted she was liberal. Come on.
[end video clip]
SCARBOROUGH: Bob Kohn, can you name one conservative that's employed by NBC News?
KOHN: Joe Scarborough.
SCARBOROUGH: Thank you, buddy. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, you win! Why is Bill -- why is Bill O'Reilly doing this? Is this really about the fact that he's very angry that he went after Keith Olbermann, Keith Olbermann went after him, and they started this feud that's going to make Keith Olbermann a very rich man?
KOHN: No, no. I think Bill O'Reilly considers himself a media watchdog. And there are a lot of media watchdogs out there, like Media Matters. And when he sees something he doesn't like or where there's something that's biased, he calls them on the carpet. I think it's very clear that NBC News has become -- has been leaning to the left very sharply over the -- particularly over the past six months. So he's just a media watchdog. And, by the way, Bill O'Reilly --
SCARBOROUGH: Do you think -- hold it. Whoa, hold on a second.
KOHN: -- you, you, no, no, no, hold on. No, no you hold on.
SCARBOROUGH: OK, you go ahead.
KOHN: OK, one sec, because a minute ago I think I heard you say that he never criticizes Fox Entertainment. Well, he has. As you remember, he highly criticizes Fox Entertainment for trying to put on that O.J. interview a few weeks ago. You know, I was on this show saying that Fox Entertainment made a mistake, that Murdoch should have allowed that interview, because in the furtherance of the truth. You disagreed with that, but you and O'Reilly agreed. And O'Reilly made a public battle, and I think he was responsible for Murdoch's not showing that interview. And they dropped that O.J. Simpson book. So O'Reilly does criticize both sides. He does it all the time. And because he's criticizing NBC for being biased -- he's done that against The New York Times -- I think you're making a big deal, really, out of nothing here.
SCARBOROUGH: Making something out of nothing? The guy has basically said that we support terrorists in Iraq.
KOHN: That's what's going on -- NBC -- it's turning way to the left and they're doing it because their ratings are going down.
SCARBOROUGH: Day after day after day?
KOHN: Yes, for years. Come on, Joe, you agree. You've agreed, NBC, ABC, CBS --
SCARBOROUGH: The ratings are going -- you know what? Not to blow our own horn, but if you go on TV Newser tonight and look at ratings, year-to-year -- and I think it's the latest post -- I think Olbermann is up 51 percent year-to-year. I'm up 48 percent year to year. O'Reilly is down 24 percent. All of the Fox shows are down over the past year. Who's going up and who's going down? I don't think it's a close call.
KOHN: Oh, a close call? Come on. O'Reilly has two and a half million viewers every night. Olbermann has what, 600,000?
SCARBOROUGH: You're the one -- you're the one that's talking about trends.
KOHN: O'Reilly has nearly five times the audience?
SCARBOROUGH: And again --
KOHN: It's not talking about apples and oranges, though.
SCARBOROUGH: Bob Kohn, no, but we're not talking about apples and oranges. You're talking about NBC News is losing right now because they're going liberal. What I'm telling you is our ratings have gone up. Meet the Press is still the king on Sunday mornings --
KOHN: I'm not talking about Meet the Press. I'm talking about Brian Williams.
SCARBOROUGH: -- the Today Show is the king, and Brian Williams is still holding his own. He has been for quite some time.
KOHN: Just barely. Just barely. [ABC World News anchor] Charlie Gibson has been gaining on him.
SCARBOROUGH: Yes, just barely, number one, just barely.
KOHN: You know. You have to admit it. Come on.
SCARBOROUGH: Paul Waldman, I'll end up with you, Paul. All right, Bob, we don't always agree, but we usually do, but tonight I just can't agree with you. Paul Waldman, finally, the question is -- because Bob Kohn said NBC News needed to be fair and balanced. Is Bill O'Reilly fair and balanced?
WALDMAN: Oh, of course -- of course not.
SCARBOROUGH: I mean, Bill O'Reilly said that he takes a position.
KOHN: Bill O'Reilly is a commentator.
WALDMAN: And the fact -- and the fact is that NBC News isn't liberal. I mean, at Media Matters over the past two years, we've located over 1,100 instances of conservative misinformation being passed through on NBC News. And NBC and MSNBC. And you have conservative hosts -- you don't have any liberal hosts --
KOHN: Media Matters is a liberal organization. Come on.
WALDMAN: That's a way of not dealing with an argument that you don't happen to like. And the fact --
KOHN: I have the facts.
WALDMAN: -- that President Bush's voice is balanced by some people who disagree with President Bush is not liberal bias. That's the facts.
SCARBOROUGH: We've got to go. Bob Kohn, I'm usually with you. You're usually on the side of the angels.

Tecumseh writes :roll:since the oil companies in the gulf made up their own rules (under the Bush administration) and then decided not to follow these, how could any reasonable person suggest that the operation of the deep drilling rigs (which I think is all the ban limited) should not be reviewed?
From what I gathered from the evening news tonight there is an uproar over the Obama administration changing the wording of the report by Obama's appointed scientific board, in order to support the administration's moratorium. Business as usual; if you don't like the results you get, then order another study, or just reword it to fit your agenda. The scientists and other experts are the wrong folks to mess with on something like this though. It's very unlikely that these types will change the report they assemble in order to please a political minion; reputations in the scientific community are at risk.
tecumseh:I do wonder where some of my fellow citizens have been hanging out??? Perhaps Fox News where you can make a bet that 85% of the detail they think are fact are in fact absolutely incorrect.
which does make you wonder exactly what happened in those meeting.
Would someone please explain to me what "weapons of mass destruction" really are? We had a couple of local hoodlums here arrested, AND CONVICTED, of possession of "weapons of mass destruction". They had a sawed off shotgun. Yet it is said Saddam, with all his missiles and military weapons, didn't have.I just DO NOT understand.

I am trying to make a custom Mando armor that looks like Jango from Open Seasons. Basically a metal shiny grey look. I cannot seem to find the right color to spray on. I bought a metallic Krylon grey and it came out looking like a ceramic. How do I get a metal color? Like Jango from Ep 2 but a darker shade.
Thank You

Thanks for your explanations. It looks like the resistor was broken. I've changed it and I've also checked why my a/c didn't start and now it is. Now, when I start the a/c the fans start in low speed. It was only cold outside in the last days, so I couldn't check that the fans start when the engine gets warmer, but I think it's ok.
The strange thing is that the fans start after I turn on the engine, for a couple of minutes. When it's cold. Is this normal?
Another interesting thing I've discovered... I don't have the fan's 30A fuse. Not that it's missing, but there are no connectors for it in it's place.
Aside from practical knowledge or theory - let's look at the obvious. FORD Uses a '50 amp' fuse in the high speed circuit and a '30 amp' fuse in the low speed circuit. That alone should tell us that MORE current is used for HIGH speed fans and LESS current is used for LOW speed fans.
And WHAT is the difference between the HIGH speed Circuit and the LOW speed circuit you ask - THE COOLING FAN RESISTOR - that's it. You can accurately conclude here that jumpering the resistor WILL increase the current in that branch of the circuit.
I think what is being misunderstood here is: CURRENT is the same, in a series DC circuit, through all components in that SERIES circuit for a total value of RESISTANCE. When you remove (short out) a component in that series branch your total resistance DECREASES and INCREASES your current, applied voltage stays the same for the branch. You can use the voltage divider formula to calculate voltage dropped across each component.
Look at ohms law: E=I*R, or I=E/R. When resistance goes down, current goes up (It's a denominator (R) vs. numerator (I) thing, on opposite sides of the = sign).
Or just look at what FORD did when they designed the circuit branch:
circuit diagram here: http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=284595
HIGH speed fans got 50amps.
LOW speed fans got 30amps, nearly a 70% difference in the fuse current ratings.
This is first year circuit theory in any Associate or Bachelors Degree program. Ignore all you want, But then it is YOUR car......
Maybe we are confusing another aspect of ohms law, POWER. P=I*E or P=(I^2)*R or P=(E^2)/R and total power in the circuits.
|I only have a/c off, because it's not working.
|With a/c on yes.
The only problem I think I will have is that I don't know how to test the fans after replacing these parts. I'm kinda scared to leave it started until it gets warmed because it boiled one time before.
But the fans should start on low speed without the water temperature indicator moves from its middle position, right?
Thank you very much.
Well, the strange thing is that until now the fan worked on low speed. Only a few days ago it stopped working at all. I think the resistor connector is a little bit melted (it has some black areas in it). Maybe that's why it stopped working. Long time the fan was working only on high speed. Sometimes this can melt connectors, right? I will try to find another one and change it but I will also check the fuses too.
I don't think is very expensive to find a resistor too, and in this way I will find out if this was the problem. But as I understand from what you just said... there cannot be another problem.
[LE]: Oh, and sorry. I've never used the a/c because it's not working. So all these happened with a/c off.
The fans can be spun freely by hand. They look ok.
'If the fan is coming on when the AC is turned on, then it is most likely the fan resistor.'
Incorrect. The fans both start out on low with a/c on and both ramp up to high speed at 250+ (or 275, I forget) psi a/c high side pressure. In other words fans don't work on a/c either if resistor is bad except under certain high pressure conditions. Fans are on all the time a/c is on but can be on high or low. I've watched my '02 ramp up and down in fan speed while charging the a/c.
Resistor checking is not rocket science, it is bad if the connectors are melted and the thermal fuse can be simply checked with a VOM, if open like a normal fuse it's bad. It should have very low resistance.
Mine burned the thermal fuse making it bad as well as melting the entire connector. I gutted the plastic to drill contacts for a positive screwed on connector, with new 10 gauge wire I reused it to save the price of the part. Works fine. Seems kinda stupid to put a thermal fuse in there if it can still melt bad enough to possibly cause a fire. Found it by the wisp of smoke coming from it.........
Extremely rare for a piece of resistor wire to simply go bad, you can recover the part with a bit of thinking. Easiest $60 I ever made.
To OP, check the resistor for continuity, if good go for low speed relay next, it can be bypassed to check both the circuit and the relay itself. Have you checked the fuses for it yet, shoulda done that first.
Fan power flow is through fuse (for high and low speed), then relay, then another lower rated fuse I'm thinking for low speed only, then resistor if low speed. Sounds like you've lost the low speed circuit. Also check both fans and see if they spin freely by hand, seized up will spit fuses.
Here's a thread on how someone bypassed (actually bridged) the low speed circuit. Ignore the comments about how current (amps) will be increased. It won't. I have 2 master electrician licenses, so I know electricity. The fans will pull the same current on low or high speed, voltage is reduced (and thereby fan speed) but current will remain the same. It would stand to reason that you wouldn't be pulling more than you would on high speed since the fans have only one winding. It would be nice if Ford were to give us multiple winding fan motors instead of resistive circuits, but that would be much more expensive, and larger.
If the fan is coming on when the AC is turned on, then it is most likely the fan resistor. DC voltage can't be transformed, so it must be stepped down via resistors. Low speed fan= resistor in circuit, high speed fan = no resistor. It seems like your fans are only coming on at high speed, thus preventing a serious overheating although the gauge might be showing in the red- no hoses have melted.
There are a couple of ways to fix this. 1) replace the cooling fan resistor, and check the wiring to it. We have seen damage to the resistor plug-in in some cases.
2) Bypass the low speed fan relay so that the fans will come on high speed instead of low when the computer powers the low speed fan relay coils.
If you're helping someone add this to what you charge them, if you're just fixing it for yourself I recommend getting it so you can accurately fix your own issues: Get an AllData subscription for that car's VIN#. It'll cost you about $25 for a year, and it includes ALL factory information (digital of course) that Ford has on it.
That way you can look up the pin-out charts, resistance values, and pin point testing procedures for testing the part. It also includes location info and description & operation on all the systems so you can get a better understanding of how it normally function before you get into it.
That being said, it seems the unit may be done; but it'd be a better idea to do some testing before you blindly chase a problem and throwing parts at it.

Çay TV, 23 July 2008
Adnan Oktar: Everyone must honestly believe that Turkey is heading in good direction and that we will really become a super state. TURKEY WILL BE A GREATER STATE THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN IN THE PAST.Insha'Allah, it will be the leader of the Turkish-Islamic world. We are at the initial stages of this historic mission. And the Turkish nation is one that will free the whole world from anarchy, terror, distress, pain and all its sufferings. It is a really noble, decent nation toughened by troubles and sufferings. It has a spirit oriented towards managing the world and being of use to it. It seems that Allah has bestowed this task on our nation, insha'Allah. We shall soon see this coming true, insha'Allah.
Adnan Oktar: ON THE CONTRARY TURKEY WILL BE A SUPER STATE, IT WILL GROW EXPONENTIALLY…We will, by Allah's leave, dominate over all that geography.We will dominate over the three continents with a glory much greater than the Ottoman era. We will make justice, love, peace and brotherhood dominant over the entire region. There will be people of all languages, of all nations, but that good morality, love and spirit of peace of the Turkish nation will cover the entire world.
Türkiye, 18 July 2011
National Autonomous University of Mexico, the greatest university of Mexico and the continent of America, included Turkish language into its curriculum. UNAM, the university from which Nobel prize winners such as Alfonso Garcia Robles, Octavio Paz ve Mario Molina graduated, started Turkish lessons with the attendance of 9 students.

Do you have cooperative programs with other institutions ranked in the top 10 nationally?
Yes! Wittenberg currently has two cooperative agreements with schools in the health professions. Wittenberg has an articulation agreement with the School of Occupational Therapy at Washington University in St. Louis (ranked 3rd in the country), in which you earn a Master's degree in Occupational Therapy and have the option to pursue a Ph.D. Wittenberg also has a cooperative programs for students interested in pursuing a career in nursing. This program is with the Case Western Reserve University Francis Payne Bolton School of Nursing (ranked 7th nationally) in which you earn the Doctor of Nursing degree. In each of these programs, you spend your first three years at Wittenberg completing the general education program and a substantial portion of your major, and if accepted, matriculate to one of the schools to start their professional program. If you prefer to finish your Bachelor's degree at Wittenberg, you can apply and matriculate to one of these programs after graduation.


text: I forgot I wanted to "poll" everyone. You know me, long story slightly shorter, short term memory even shorter, so...........there was a letter in a recent Dear Abby column (maybe you can find it online) where a woman (in California, I think) wrote that her neighbor's kids came to her door for trick or treat at 5:30 or something (when she was eating in preparation for handing out candy later). She sent them home and the mother got mad. Abby said she should have given them their candy. So, the original letter made it sound like there was not a set time for trick or treat, but that she just wasn't expecting anyone yet. And..........on t.v. shows, they always show kids just out at whatever hour (be back by dark or 10:00 or something) and people handing out candy for hours all evening. Here in Ohio, my entire life, trick or treat has ALWAYS been from 6-8 p.m. Some of the rural areas around here have it from 5:30 - 7:30. Are we the only ones who have a set trick or treat time? They publish a list of each city's in the paper. You turn your porch light on at 6 and off at 8. No one would dare show up at a neighbor's house before or after those times and demand candy. You can't just run around and knock on people's doors to get candy whenever you feel like it. (I KNOW - unless you are going to a relative's house in another neighborhood or somewhere out of the ordinary or whatver.) This was not the case in this letter. If someone showed up at my house yelling trick or treat at 5:55 p.m., I would not be obligated to give them anything or have their mother get mad at me because I turned them away. Do other states not have specific trick or treat times (except for the day, obviously)? Just wondering.

Sources for used guns include GunBroker.com, pawn shops, and all gun shops.
The best source for a used gun would be a reputable gun shop.
In my own experience, a well-maintained used gun gives the buyer the best value available for his money. Jean and I own very few guns that were purchased new.
I suggest establishing a friendly, personal relationship with a good local gun shop, and then doing the same with a good local gunsmith too.
Once a friendly relationship has been established with a shop, you could arrange to buy a used gun with return-for-credit privileges. The next step is to take it to the gunsmith for evaluation.
If the gunsmith advises against the purchase, take the gun back to the store and trade it for another possibility. And so on.

By Nik Brumsack
Mikel Arteta admits he was left angry and disappointed by Saturday's defeat to Norwich - and insists the team need to bounce back quickly.
Grant Holt's 19th minute strike ultimately proved enough to consign Arsène Wenger's side to their first defeat of the season on the road.
While acknowledging the home team raised their game, Arteta says he and his team-mates were thoroughly frustrated at losing a game they had expected to emerge victorious from.
"We're really down because we expected to win the game," Arteta told Arsenal Player. "They raised their game, they made it very difficult for us."
"I think we controlled the game, mostly, for 90 minutes. But you go a goal down, you start getting anxious, the goal doesn't come, it makes it really hard.
"For the amount of ball we had in the game, we should have done more and created more goal situations. We need more patience sometimes."
"It's not the first time we have conceded the first goal," Arteta added. "It's very difficult.
"If you go ahead, it gives you a lift, the other team has to take risks, and you can cause mistakes. You can't get back in the game every time you fall behind. It's a tough ask and we haven't done it today.
"We have time to come back. But we are down because we know how good we are and how good we can be."

Global Temperatures, Volcanic Eruptions, and Trees that Didn't Bark
Following the AD 1258 eruption, the climate model simulations predict a drop of 2C, but the tree ring-based reconstruction shows only about a 0.5C cooling. Equally vexing, the cooling in the reconstruction occurs several years late relative to what is predicted by the model. The other large eruptions showed similar discrepancies. An analysis using synthetic proxy data with spatial sampling density and proxy signal-to-noise ratios equivalent to those of the D'Arrigo et al (2006) tree-ring network suggest that these discrepancies cannot be explained in terms of either the spatial sampling/extent or the intrinsic "noisiness" of the network of proxy records.
However, using a tree growth model that accounts for the temperature growth thresholding effects discussed above, combined with the complicating effects of chronological errors due to potential missing growth rings, explains the observed features remarkably well.
Show in the above figure (Figure 2d from the article) is the D'Arrigo et al tree-ring based NH reconstruction (blue) along with the climate model (NCAR CSM 1.4) simulated NH mean temperatures (red) and the "simulated tree-ring" NH temperature series based on driving the biological growth model with the climate model simulated temperatures (green). The two insets focus on the response to the AD 1258 and AD 1809+1815 volcanic eruption sequences. The attenuation of the response is produced primarily by the loss of sensitivity to further cooling for eruptions that place growing season temperatures close to the lower threshold for growth. The smearing and delay of the cooling, however, arises from another effect: when growing season lengths approach zero, we assume that no growth ring will be detectable for that year. That means that an age model error of 1 year will be introduced in the chronology counting back in time. As multiple large eruptions are encountered further back in time, these age model errors accumulate. This factor would lead to a precise chronological error, rather than smearing of the chronology, if all treeline sites experienced the same cooling. However, stochastic weather variations will lead to differing amounts of cooling for synoptically distinct regions. That means that in any given year, some regions might fall below the "no ring" threshold, while other regions do not. That means that different chronological errors accumulate in synoptically-distinct regions of the Northern Hemisphere. In forming a hemispheric composite, these errors thus lead to a smearing out of the signal back in time as slightly different age model errors accumulate in the different regions contributing to the composite.
Including this effect, our model accounts not only for the level of attenuation of the signal, but the delayed and smeared out cooling as well. This is particularly striking in comparing the behavior following both the AD 1258 and AD 1809 eruptions (compare the green and blue curves in the insets of the figure). Our model, for example, predicts the magnitude of the reduction of cooling following the eruptions and the delay in the apparent cooling evidence in the tree-ring record (i.e. in AD 1262 rather than AD 1258). We have also included a minor additional effect in these simulations. While volcanic aerosols cause surface cooling due to decreased shortwave radiation at the surface, they also lead to increased indirect, scattered light at the surface. Plant growth benefits from indirect sunlight, and past studies show that e.g. a Pinatubo-sized eruption (roughly -2W/m^2 radiative forcing) can result in a 30% increase in carbon assimilation by plants. This effect turns out to be relatively small because it is proportional in nature, and thus results in a very small absolute increase when growth is suppressed i the first place by limited growing seasons. However, not including this effect results in a slightly less good reproduction (purple dashed curves in the two insets of the figure) of the observed behavior.

Talking Community with Justin Isaf, Huffington Post Community Manager
Mar 1, 2012
On Justin Isaf's first day at the Huffington Post, the reality of living under AOL's roof became an actuality- literally. Justin's first day aligned with the official move of The Huffington Post to the 770 Broadway offices of AOL. Staking a small cluster of desks in the sprawling newsroom on the 5th floor - Justin got right to work.
As Community Manager for the Huffington Post Media Group, Justin has one of the most challenging jobs online - leading the team responsible for cultivating the Huffington Post commenter communities. In fact, the Huffington Post generated over 50 million comments last year alone.
"I fell right in the middle of the acquisition. But since we had dedicated developers, design and management resources, it was an easy transition because we just got down to work. Since then, we're approaching 100% growth in comment volume," said Isaf, a ten year veteran of the community management space, most recently at change.org, before his move to The Huffington Post.
"The Huffington Post is the place for people to come to talk about anything in the news. Our goal is to ensure a safe space for people to comment. We have a quality standard that we hold comments to through moderation. But moderation is like roads, necessary, but not sufficient (and certainly not sexy) to growing a good community, so we do a lot more on top of that as well."
Managing a community of this size and scale can present a unique set of challenges. So can merging the commenter communities of two traditionally very different brands and audiences.
"There is one rule in community, don't talk about religion or politics, and at Huffington Post we do both heavily. As Huffington Post, being bought by AOL, politics is an especially contentious issue. The visitors have opposing view points, and very adamant ones at that. It's been a big challenge to manage. Combine that with global expansion, comments in other languages and it's easy to say growth has been 'interesting'." Justin and his team are also focusing on nurturing the smaller communities at HuffPost and they are looking for two more community managers to help curate these audiences.
Isaf's favorite thing about working at AOL is their "willingness to put resources where their mouth is; putting tech time in, and allowing the entire team to push the boundaries of community at scale. I get to play around with a lot of stuff I normally wouldn't be able to try at another company."
When asked about his greatest accomplishment, Isaf immediately cited his team. "I'm so proud of what we've done inside the moderation team. It's a family of people who go to bat for each other, which has enabled us to scale up quickly and results in increased capacity, accuracy, speed, retention - and happiness."
Isaf believes the future of social and community is user led and curated verticals. "If you like fly fishing news, you should be able to comment, aggregate and link out through The Huffington Post."
"I see Twitter losing ground, because its all about me listening about what you want me to hear, instead of listening what I want to hear; There will be a move towards networks and sites that help you listen to information at the scale of Twitter, but filtered for your interests, instead of your connections."
In terms of the future of our profession, Isaf was clear, "We will see an increase in separation of job titles for social media managers and community managers. More people are starting to understand that a social media manager is not a community manager. They are very different skill sets, and businesses will start to realize that. A social media manager's job is talking to as many people as possible - a community manager's job is to get as many people talking to each other as possible."
And what's next for Justin? He is focusing on how to increase network density in communities at scale and trying to figure out ways to apply the team's knowledge of community and the tech that powers it to new products and services.
And sleep. Lots of sleep.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
All things being equal, and the hull having passed survey, I would be more concerned with the parts attached to the hull than the hull itself, like old gate valves, sub-current spec hoses, galvanized this and brass that and rotting wood the other. Certainly, every season I inspect the mast, rigging and chainplates carefully, and I'm in fresh water with a 5 1/2 month haulout.
I've found keeping a now 37-year old 33 footer less about the plastic and more about what is stuck to the plastic...or through the plastic.
|Age is not nearly as relevant as are quality of build and care of the vessel. Paloma is 30-years old and at her ages of 16 and again at 29, we endured Force 10 storms in the Gulf with 50-60 knot winds and 28-30 foot seas. She performed no less well (no more creaks and groans) in the 2008 storm at 29 years old than she did in the 1995 storm at 16.
Boasun, I salute superiors 1. The boat is not older than I am 2. Getting close 3. Better than me
Keep a good lookout for us old codgers in small vessels!
"To young men contemplating a voyage I would say go. The tales of rough usage are for the most part exaggerations, as also are the tales of sea danger. To face the elements is, to be sure, no light matter when the sea is in its grandest mood. You must then know the sea, and know that you know it, and not forget that it was made to be sailed over." - Joshua Slocum

Age & Seaworthy
When I first saw this, I thought you were talking about us older fellows...
But then I realized you were talking about the boats.
It is true that us older fellows & Ladies are seaworthy.
1. Is the boat older or younger than you?
2. Can your body handle the beating it will get out there?
3. Can that boat handle the beating offshore you will give it?
If you answered yes to #2 & 3 then you have nothing extra to worry about.
Now #1 is depending how you value Good clean lines of the older vessels.
Don't get me wrong I've sailed many from FRP boats to ferro cement to wood
many types of rigs. Some I like more than others the Westsail was slow but she was a heavy displacement boat you got what you asked for. I sailed Cal 40's, Irwin 37's Brown and Piver TriMarans, Ferro Cement and so one. I'm not asking anyone to do what I did. Just passing along my knowledge for what it is worth.

Get what you can afford, sail what you can handle, and love what you're doing! Tristan Jones
Probably so Moe.
I found a Coronado forum but it's a bit slow. I'm trying to find as many owners as I can to evaluate this make and model for it's common failure points.
We have a 1967 Chris Craft built S&S designed sloop that is tough as nails. The mast is stout and keel stepped and every time we do some maintenance work, we are amazed at the construction quality as well as the thickness of the hull. It has never had hint of a blister, and I've had it off shore in challenging weather a number of times. I think each boat has to be evaluated on its merits, but this series seems very dependable. We took 2nd place in the Governor's cup a couple years ago during a rare year when the wind blew aggressively most of the night...many of the other bay boats were flailing and hanging on for dear life, while we were able to keep the 150 up all the way will little stress. On another occasion I hit a rock at full speed (cast iron fin keel with a bulb at the base-boat draws 6 ft). Hauled the boat out for a look, only a small chip where it hit...this type of strike would have destroyed the frame of many current day boats. Anyway, each boat has to be looked at on its merits, I think.

When it comes to boats though I just like the look of most older boats - my 1967 Tartan 27' included. Our boat may not win many races but it does turn heads with it's classic lines. On the boat we get to repair and refinish the teak toe rail (PITA like on a gingebread house), repair the chain plates and hull as needed (like a foundation on an old house), and re-do some of the work done by previous owners (which is the same for a boat or a house).
Congrats on your new-to-you Coronado 25'.
I Know that he already owns a boat but it's just like homes you want to trade up. It would not hurt if he invested in a moisture meter but don't tear up the whole deck because it had a low reading, a small leak can spread if you can find the source and fix it then wait awhile and test it again.
What I mean by a little while is let it truly a dry up then test it again to see if you got it. A pressure washer works real good if you are doing it in the summer when no rain. But if you are going cruising below 20 degrees South to 20 degrees North, don't worry about it, if it is a big leak and then decking is affected by of course tear up the deck and fix it.
I had a leak and the previous owner tried to fix it to no avail but a little new caulk around the anchor windless fixed it. And it was leaking in the saloon it was traveling all that way to find a place to drip and it drove me crazy trying to find it. I thought it was coming from my Bomar hatches but was just trying to find the path of least resistance aft and came down in the saloon.

This does beg the question - can you go into spring / summer with too much honey? I have a very similar situation whereas the top deeps are absolutely loaded with honey - as in 7 of 10 frames completely full with the other 3 more than 70 percent full. How should I handle this situation? I assume that some of this needs to come off but how much and should I just reuse the frames after honey is has been harvested?David
Yes you can go into spring with too much honey. They can become honey bound quick in the spring and swarm very early. Bailey

|DURATEC Performance (2003-2007) The place to chat about any Duratec 23, 23E, and 20 engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|When my car is cold it usually starts right away. Once it's warmed up it long cranks. Sometimes the crank pause crank helps and sometimes not. Already did the reflash at a dealer. Forget Ford. They already got paid for the car and don't care. Not bitter, just realistic.
|It is very sporadic on mine. Randomly will happen if I turn off the car after it being warmed up, and then try starting now it shortly after. Even if I blip the throttle, it does not help. It has been a problem I have really been trying to fix recently .
I recently bought a 2007 Focus Wagon (completely stock) and I had the long crank issue as well. I figured it was likely due to the spark plugs needing to be replaced as the manual says they should be replaced at 160,000km.
And I also read that for some, the issue was mitigated by turning the ignition on, waiting for a bit to let the fuel pump do its thing and then try starting. But that had no impact on the issue for me. So for my case, I was thinking it was likely the spark plugs (with over 140,000km on them... factory originals that Ford says should last 160,000km) that were the culprit.
I chose to replace them recently after the car hit 149,000km. I replaced them with Autolite 104 copper plugs and also used dielectric grease on the boot-end of the plugs. I chose the copper Autolites because I read somewhere else on here that copper plugs are best for power/fuel economy, with the only downside being they will need to be changed every 50,000km or so. Since changing plugs on the Focus is easy, there isn't much downside to going with coppers.
The new plugs did seem to help the power slightly, but still had the occasional long crank. And it also felt like I was getting the odd power hiccup.... but it was only a slight power hiccup.
Sidenote: When changing my plugs, getting the rubber boots out was particularly difficult on one spark plug and it got a bit damaged.
So I finished replacing the plugs, went online and ordered a set of new spark plug boots with springs from rockauto.com:
Today I replaced the spark plug boots and springs. While doing it, I put dielectric grease on both ends of the spring as well as on the electrical connector that plugs into each of the coils.
Then I had to run some errands to run and guess what? It seems like the problem is resolved. And I've started the car maybe 10 times since replacing the boots. Prior to this, at least one out of every 5 starts would be a long crank. And it seems to run a little smoother/better too.
So to summarize what seems to have fixed the issue for me:
1. Replaced the OEM spark plugs with Autolite 104 plugs (and used anti-seize compound on the threads).
2. Replaced the spark plug boots and springs. Put dielectric grease on both ends of spring before installing.
3. Put dielectric grease on electrical connector that plugs into the coil.
Just thought I'd share this with everyone.
|Mine has been at the dealer for 4 days now and they ended up giving me a rental. I guess the Tech has a concern with it so he is trying to find out why its acting up.
Malik, I've been using the crank-pause-crank technique for quite awhile. Yes, my car was re-flashed by a dealer- no help there.
The issue is long crank hard start. These cars have a problem that Ford hasn't, and apparently won't, fix. That is the topic, IMO.
Mine is at the dealer right now getting this issue fixed for the third time. I am the third owner and they looked up the history om my car and told me it had been done but that they will redo it as Ford had and updated flash since the last time it was done.
I finely had to break down and take it in after I replaced the fuel pump due to it acting up and dieing will I was driving. I had the a bad case of the Crank/No start. Would no start before 20-30 cycles of the Key and if the temp dropped below 20*f , Forget it, I was screwed.
This is why mine is back at the dealer. It will not start unless it is over 20*f. They had to roll it in to the shop and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before it ran. Guess the guy sat in the car for 20 minutes this morning like I always have to do.
I think mine is going to get a ECU power bypass switch throw at it if it acts up again and screws me over.
This is 1 of 3 things that I have issues with my Car. Other than that I love the thing. My other two are the Water leaking in the car when it sits in the rain (Think may have found that issue) and the other one is the multiple places around the dash that buzz when I am doing 25-35 in 3rd gear.
Well, it seems like you guys went a bit on a off-topic rant here about Ford.
For those who are having the same problem and have not reprogrammed the ECU, a suggestion was made in this topic that works to help with the start.
When cranking it and it doesn't start after 2-3 seconds, stop. Let is sit for a few seconds and when you go to crank it the second time just slightly BLIP your throttle while cranking it. It'll start right up, you will see. Ever since I've been doing this, it worked like a charm every time. I no longer have to kill my starter with these long cranks.
Hope this was useful.
|I had a squeaky seat (upper back rest) I removed the seat covers & foam & find a few of the brackets that are welded to the frame, were coming undone & rewelded them & welded a few more places also. That was in early '12 & no issues since. Pretty cruddy that no dealer would help you, let alone the complaint dept. Glad you got your seat issue fixed.
I ignored CT-ST's nonsense and hoped that this post would stop, but that hasn't happened.
I know or am related to seven dealer line techs., two worked at Ford dealerships, two dealership owner operators, one dealership accountant, one financier for customer purchases, two salesman, two parts dept. managers, and one sales manager. All work for or have worked for new car dealerships.
FOMOCO allows dealers extremely wide latitude when handling warranty and customer treatment matters. Case in point.
The upper part of my cars driver seat began to lean back unevenly. The dealer claimed that the seat was not covered under the extended warranty that I had purchased even though the warranty period had not expired. I forwarded my complaint to FOMOCO 's customer complaint dept. in Dearborn, Michigan. That dept. waited several months until the warranty had expired. Then they called me to inform me that they would not handle my complaint because the warranty had just expired.
I stripped the upholstery from the seat and found that the stamped steel frame had broken all around the top portion right next to the welds. A professional welder suggested that the welds were too large and hot. That caused the adjacent frame metal to become too brittle for it's intended service. The steel next to the welds was too brittle to flex when the seat was in use. This seat had a side air bag attached. If the air bag had deployed on the broken upper seat frame the driver's back could have easily been BROKEN.
I still have the broken seat frame.
The nearest Ford dealers are 38, 51, 52, 53, and 55 miles away.
$125.00 at a recycle yard secured a replacement seat.
Ford goes to market with product that they know will drive away a certain percent of buyers. Advertising is relied upon to bring in new customers. Ford advertises more that any other car mfg. in this country.

OK, so we all probably now know that the long-awaited ITIL "refresh," ITIL v3.1 (or the ITIL 2011 Edition as it now seems to be called), is to be released on the 29th July 2011. But four years on from the release of ITIL v3 where are we exactly?
Let's start with the provided facts about the updated version of ITIL. The ITIL Best Practice Management update points out that this is an "update" not a new version. Paraphrasing the update on the update, ITIL 2011 Edition is designed to:

Yes, this works just fine. The only caveat I've come across is that
it's better to include the MathLinkLibrary.xcoff file in the project instead
of the MathLinkLibrary itself. Also, of course, you should be using
the appropriate PowerMac tools on disk 2 of the MathLink Developer's
If you have any general questions about MathLink, make sure to get
the MathLink Tutorial, available from MathSource as item 0206-693.

Last week the Friends of KPL and the Friends of WMU Libraries held a joint annual meeting. The program was "Founding Friends." Lynn Houghton of WMU Archives and Regional History Collection, spoke about Edwin and Cynthia Van Deusen who donated the funds that built the first dedicated building for the Kalamazoo Public Library.
Lynn mentioned that one stipulation of Dr. and Mrs. Van Deusen was that the public library be open on Sundays so that working men, most of whom worked six days per week, would have a day to come to the library.
Of course I have heard or read a fair amount of our history but I had never known about this early requirement for Sunday service. We are currently open Sundays during the school year and have been for many decades. I don't know if there was ever a break in Sunday service or if the library has been open on Sundays since its founding in 1872.
Our Sunday service for the current school year will end on May 22 and resume in the fall on September 11.
Come visit Central Library on Sundays from 1 pm – 5 pm for two more weeks, but even when we are closed on Sundays over the summer, we are still open six days, and our online branch is always open!

I'm hoping that the Acai will do the wonders it promises to do. Since I've only used it for a short time, I can't really comment on its full effects yet. One other thing -I ordered the Amazon Acai Hemp Shake...really great tasting. I'm putting it in various kinds of drinks and each of them tastes great. It's a product I know I'll want to order over and over again. Thanks for making it available to the public!

4D Reamer Rentals, Exclusive Source to Rent Chamber Reamers & for Renting Gunsmithing or Shotgun Tools
Just for your knowledge. I have the 450 here with me. The bushing on the front is a thou too big. And the reamer is bolt action not semi. Also hes having semi auto head space gauges made. I used and have fired the 300 blackout. Its good to go, I just sent it back to him eaely this week for someone else.
450 reamers are going back Monday. Am build was EASY. Don't even modify the fees ramp. 450 AR even easier
Double tap
HMMMM not sure why the head space guages would be differant??? head space should be about the same for a semi or a bolt action.
i have run some pretty tight chambers on various caliburs in a ak and have had very little problems as long as the ammo is consistant. .
They did not rebate the rim for the bolt face. The first set of gauges were .308 RIM and the second were 762x39 rim
I see. to they were made wrong initaly????Quote:
They did not rebate the rim for the bolt face. The first set of gauges were .308 RIM and the second were 762x39 rim
I see you did a 300 black out. what was the reasoning for it on a AK ( was a AK right)? I just dont see any advantages over the round except in a AR platform.
I do like the 30 cal bullet selection but i get that from my 308 bore AK,s ( 308 x39)
I looked intot he round sand there is a lot of stuff about how great it is and a how the bolt thrust is less and they claim to be able to match it in performance with a lot less powder and case capacity. Not siure how there pulling that one off yet. they clam better thermodynamics but dont explain what ot how that it allowing a same weight bullet to go as fast with much less powder and less bolt thrust.
It did kind of make me thing that a 223 blown straight out and left longer would be a good round in a longer mag in a AK. But then so is my 300 savage and 308 win on AK.
I see the rounds advantage from the suppressed stand point.
The 300 blackout is in an ar platform as it will be my sons birthday gift and will coincide by one day the opening of gun season. There are two 450 bushmaster guns. One ak and one ar. The are Will match the 300 as a pair ( father son thing) the ar's are from 0% forging with free float tubes I turned and muzzlebrakes designed by my son ( sure wont be as effective as some but they are his)
The felt recoil is much less on the 300 then the 7.63 39. But the chrono is damn close.

text: It'll be nice to start talking about actual NBA stuff when the camp starts up again. JJ is miles ahead of Maxiell and Summers in the team's pecking order to start the season. He's likely ahead of Monroe as well. It's Big Ben who stands to have minutes shaved this season, because of his age. I can see CV challenging JJ's starting status - but that's really up to how CV performs. The thing about this team is that I've never seen the Pistons come into the season with a more convoluted or deeper group. It's really hard to predict how any player on our roster will fit and who will get PT because we have no idea who is going to emerge as the best team players and best guys to play meaningful minutes given the very unpredictable nature of sorting out the team's chemistry. We have a big time boondoggle and it's going to stay confused for quite awhile this season and next, IMO. Best predictions right now barring trades: Category A) Stuckey, Tay, Rip, Gordon will always get a lot of minutes. Category B) McGrady and Wallace. If he's healthy enough, forgetabout it. He'll get priority time ahead of anyone else on our roster. Ben Wallace - if he's healthy he'll always get significant PT. But he'll play fewer minutes this season both to keep him fresh and because of team's depth IF Monroe or Maxiell can provide competant play at C. Category C) Bynum, JJ - backup PG and last year's best Piston rookie - and CV. Bynum might have games (a lot of games) where he's playing so well that we just can't take him out of lineup. However, this year's team has a lot of go-to scorers who might make Bynum less important, plus Stuckey plays much superior D. JJ just plays too well and with too high an energy level to not get time every game. No chance he's not in rotation every game. But he might play fewer minutes than I'd normally guess because of team's depth. CV just on talent could be one of best PF's in league. If Ben Wallace plays, CV's offense becomes more important. Category D) Super sleepers: Daye, Monroe, Summers. Especially Daye and Monroe. These are big time talents - we shouldn't keep them out of rotation. We shouldn't fail to develop them on the court this season. We shouldn't blow the chance to develop these guys. But the team is so deep that we might screw this up, especially with Daye. Monroe will play - that's obvious - when he's ready, so I'm not worried about screwing him up. Summers has the talent to make it really interesting at PF. Category E) Maxiell. Nice guy to have deeep on your roster. Wilcox. I'll be ticked off if he plays much. Category F) White. Super talent who will only see practice PT this season. I've no earthly idea how anyone can predict he'll get any shot over the next couple seasons. Category G) Trade. some team is going to want Rip. some team is going to want Tay. some team might really want McGrady. This makes us so unpredictable that it's ridiculous.

From what I have read the wire must be 100% imbedded or the bees will not draw comb properly.
I found a site that said to use a 24 volt transformer to get the wires hot so they will melt into the wax.
I have been informed by many beeks that just pins alone are not enough to keep the foundation from warping, or falling apart during extraction.
I hear there is a tool with spurs on it for embedding wire as well.
