text: Everett school joins in AEW events The antics of Wally the Green Monster thrilled kindergarten and first-grade students. The NEA, MTA and celebrity participants who visited the Parlin School in Everett on Nov. 21 learned alongside the students as they participated in an "Educator for a Day" program marking American Education Week. While NEA President Dennis Van Roekel and Boston Mamas writer Christine Koh took in a lesson on area and perimeter in Beth Barrett's fourth-grade math class, MTA President Paul Toner and radio and TV personality Billy Costa joined Stacy Schiavo's seventh-grade social studies students in an exercise on how societies set their rules. Dana Barros, a former Boston Celtics player, folded his frame into a seat in Ryan Taylor's second-grade class and jotted down ideas with the rest of the students about a story's plot and setting. Later, Barros was in his element as he talked to students playing basketball in Jason Abruzzese's physical education class. Joining the festivities was Boston Red Sox mascot Wally the Green Monster, who danced around the classrooms of thrilled kindergarten and first-grade students. NEA President Dennis Van Roekel, right, and MTA President Paul Toner served lunch to Jett DuVal, 11, at the John F. Kennedy Middle School in Northampton Wednesday. The event on Thursday, as well as events and receptions on Wednesday in Northampton, were among American Education Week celebrations taking part across the state and the nation. AEW has been commemorated around the country since 1921 to recognize excellence in public education. "These events are fun, but also an important way to honor and keep in mind the hard work educators do throughout the school year," Toner said. Following their classroom appearances in Everett, the visitors and other guests gathered for a reception for school employees. Van Roekel presented the school with a $500 check for library books. Among those attending were state Senator Sal DiDomenico; Everett Teachers Association President Kim Auger and ETA Board member Peter Lahey; Everett School Superintendent Frederick Foresteire; Parlin Principal Michelle Massa; and MTA Retired Members Committee Co-Chair Richard Liston, a former teacher at Parlin. On Wednesday, Van Roekel and Toner dished up lunch to students at the John F. Kennedy Middle School in Northampton to honor the important role of the nation's ESPs on Education Support Professionals Day. The cafeteria visit was followed by an informal reception in the school library that allowed Van Roekel, Toner and Kevin Concannon, U.S. undersecretary for the Department of Agriculture, to meet the school's ESPs. School librarians there were also presented with a $500 check from the NEA for library books. On Wednesday afternoon, Toner and Van Roekel also attended the second annual Safe School Summit, which was presented by the Northwestern District Attorney's Office in Northampton and co-sponsored by the MTA and the NEA. The program offered educators the knowledge and tools they need to meet the needs of young people who are dealing with mental health issues. After the summit, MTA members were invited to attend a reception in honor of ESPs across the nation. Van Roekel said the weeklong nationwide celebration of American Education Week "recognizes all of those around us who are working to make public schools great for every student." Excellent public schools "are a basic right, and our responsibility," he said. Click here to view photos from the Educator for a Day event on our Flickr site.

AMES, Iowa – Iowans can beat the mid-winter blues with the Eco Family Virtual Conference. Families can save money on household expenses, spend quality time together and live green in 2013 by participating in the conference, said Kristi Cooper, conference organizer and family life specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"This year, the focus of the conference is on our relationship with natural resources, our food and each other," Cooper said. "One exciting new element of the 2013 Eco Family Virtual Conference is the Family Citizen Science options. Children, teens and adults of all ages can choose activities that align with their family values."
Educators from Iowa State University and around the state lead the online sessions. On the first Thursday of each month through June, a 90-minute webinar will feature a different speaker addressing a different environmental topic. All sessions begin at 6:30 p.m. Dates and topics are:
"With a virtual conference, people can get connected to others with similar interests without adding to their carbon footprint by driving to an event. Also, this is a way for people to create community close to where they live if they choose. They can invite their family, neighbors and friends to view the webinar together in their home," Cooper said.

Women In Contention Heading Into Final Day of Championships
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
CHICAGO (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Despite sitting in fourth place, the Green Bay women's swimming and diving team (459 points) is within striking distance of first-place Cleveland State (487.5 points) heading into the final day of the 2013 Horizon League Championships. The Phoenix men's squad is also in fourth following Friday's finals at the UIC Flames Natatorium after picking up a pair of individual conference titles in school-record fashion.
"It's interesting on the women's side to have the top four teams very much in the mix heading into Saturday," Green Bay head coach Jim Merner said. "We have some good opportunities tomorrow to make a move, but it's going to be very difficult. Only time will tell."
Senior Megan Burley (Hazelhurst, Wis.) continued her strong conference meet for the Green Bay women with a runner-up finish in the 400-yard IM, touching in at 4:25.87. Classmate Melissa Killpatrick (Elk River, Minn.) was close behind, finishing in fourth place with a time of 4:29.59.
Other standout performances for the Phoenix women included Heather Bodin's (Maple Grove, Minn.) third-place finish in the 100 butterfly (56.06), Parker Wolf's (Kohler, Wis.) third-place (1:52.12) and Racheal Weiland's (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) fifth-place (1:52.39) showings in the 200 freestyle and Carrie Dinelli's (Northbrook, Ill.) fifth-place finish on the 1-meter diving board (253.90).
One day after bursting onto the scene with a record-setting win in the 200 IM, men's freshman Willem Poelmans (Hasselt, Belgium) was at it again on Friday with another dominant performance. Poelmans claimed the 400 IM with a winning time of 3:52.85, smashing the 2003 school record of 4:02.80 previously held by Dan Brzozowski. The time, which was less than a second away from the Horizon League record of 3:52.07, was also good for his second NCAA B-cut of the meet.
Sophomore Ryan Korslin (Rudolph, Wis.) also earned an individual championship, a school record and an NCAA B-cut on Friday, winning the 100 breaststroke in 54.81. The time broke the old school record of 55.11 set by Jason Askew in 2011. Senior Jonathan Lesniak (McHenry, Ill.) was third in the 100 breast, finishing in 55.96.
Willem Poelmans (above) claimed his second individual title and his second school record Friday in the 400 IM
The Green Bay squads return to action for the fourth and final day of the 2013 Horizon League Championships on Saturday, with prelims beginning at 10:30 a.m. Live coverage of finals will be streamed live on the Horizon League Network beginning at 5:30 p.m. CT. Visit the 2013 Horizon League Championship Central page on GreenBayPhoenix.com for continuing coverage.

Hey all, I was going to do the tears in my ROTJ cape tonight and wanted to find out whats the best method to do this. are we talking about gashes or cut HOLES in the fabric before throwing it into the washer.
Hey all, I was going to do the tears in my ROTJ cape tonight and wanted to find out whats the best method to do this. are we talking about gashes or cut HOLES in the fabric before throwing it into the washer.
What I did was find a good spot for a hole. grab it by that spot with 2 fingers so the rest drapes down and cut a small hole up by my fingers. Then when you can hold it by the top and see just how big the hole is. If your not happy with it then just cut a little bigger. If this makes any sence good if not then sorry.
I'ver heard the "Tie to your bumper, drive around town" method works...but I have yet to try it.
I've heard that you place it on the concrete & smash holes in it with a hammer.
Haven't tried it yet with mine.
I've heard that if you tie it to a chain saw and hop on your right foot while trying to eat an apple with the same hand the saws in. Dude youll get it done quick.
I think I might try the nice and simple method of cutting holes. lol.
you're other suggestions though creative, wouldn't fly here in Chicago (such as driving around with a cape tied to my bumper...maybe in Southside, but not northside ! lol
I shot mine with a shotgun and a .22. But of course, we can do that here in Texas.
I just stabed a small hole in mine with scisorrs then ripped the rest. Cutting it will leave straight edges.
One of those wire-brush attachments on a drill works well. Also, just scrunching it up and cutting a small piece, then washing it in the washing machine makes the edges all nice and frayed.
i just made a wet ring around a spot on the cape where the hole would go an lit it on fire that way the whole cape would not go up and I still got realistic burns around the hole. I did the same thing to give the bottom of the cape a shreded look.
man you guys are really imaginative. I just tore holes and threw it in the washer ! CAme out great btw and THANK YOU to everyone who colorfully contributed to my question !
Was that a rip on us SouthSiders?
If soo....I`m gonna sic Lisa on you...
Got Maul said:
SOUTHSIDERS SUCK ARSE ! You know what's worse than a three legged dog ? A SOUTHSIDER ! White Sox BLOW ! SOUTHSIDERS SMELL LIKE CABBAGE !!!!!!Jodo Kast 3 said:
ahem...I will be waiting for my ***** kicking from lisa...riiiiight here
How many Northsiders does it take to change a light bulb?
None....they`re too stuck up to try it themselves so they call an electrician...
You started it....
And Lisa is sooo gonna kick your arse...
Well.. here is my cape all weatherd and torn.. i forgot to resize them for the forum so you'll have to click on the links..
Some close upps:
"blaster burns":
Looks good!
Someone I know lit the edges on fire and then stomped it out . Kind of dangerous, but it looked OK. Of course it wasn't even close to screen accurate, and it was scorched all over, but it had a pretty cool look if your doing a custom mandalorian costume.
This burn was made using a lighter (FIRE!!) and black acrylic paint. I held the cape in one hand and burned with the other.. hence the drop shape of the burn.. looks great IMO...
This burn i did by tearing the fabric and using the metal brush on my rotary tool to fray the edges.. then.. more black paint and "black wash"

Dear Alamo neighbors,
We think Alamo is going to like Danville's Mayor Andersen.
In Hal's background information provided today to our e-chain, the proof of consensus as the basis of Mayor Andersen's actions in local governments is repeated.
Let's invite her to Yellow Wood and restart our community relationship with Danville that died during the SRV YMCA approval.
Fresh start and consensus efforts! It's our turn.

The F15 Share Their Best (Totally PG!) Party Moments!
Alternative Intern (noun)
An intern who is not a traditional college student — this can be a high school student, recent graduate, or adult.
EX: Even though our alternative intern is only in high school, she's really been killing it with the assignments lately!
Budget (verb)
Budgeting your money is a necessary part of life for most interns, especially unpaid ones! Working for free can be tough, but if you're smart with your money, you can focus your energy on your job instead of worrying about how you'll pay for lunch.
Ex: Budgeting my money allowed me to save a little and get those killer heels I'd been dying for!
Copy Machine (noun)
An intern's best friend.
Ex: There's a paper misfeed in the copy machine. For the third time today. #help
Credit Letter (noun)
A letter from your school telling the company you're working for that you are receiving credit for the hours you intern. Because some companies don't pay their interns, they offer college credit instead.
Ex: I have to remember to ask my professor to fax over a credit letter to my supervisor!
Down Time (noun)
A time during the day or week when there's a lull in your workload. Instead of perusing your Twitter and Facebook accounts, be productive! Look through back issues of magazines or do some research on the company. You could also introduce yourself to other employees around the office to see if they need any help.
Ex: Working on a health blog during some down time today allowed me to learn something new and make a new contact at the magazine I'm interning for.

If I were to lay it in the oven for a little bit, how would that work? Anyone have any ideas for me? (I have to heat it to let it bend to the curve of the pack)

BlogSilverStripe 3.0 Review
10 September 2012 | |Tweet
The eagerly awaited SilverStripe 3 has been available in a stable state for a while now, it's even had a minor release in the form or 3.0.1. But how does it shape up when compared to it's long established predecessor, SilverStripe 2?
Having now had time to really have a play with it and even do some project work with it there are 2 statements swirling around my head. 1: SilverStripe 3 is absolutely awesome and 2: We won't be using SilverStripe 3 for complex production sites just yet . Confused? Let me explain.Continue reading...
BlogBook Review: SilverStripe 2.4 - Module Extension, Themes and Widgets
6 June 2011 | | | Supports v2.4Tweet
For a while now the only printed documentation available for SilverStripe has been the official book which, although excellent if you are willing to put the time into completing it, is now slightly outdated having been written for SilverStripe v2.3. Enter a new book written by Phillip Krenn and published by Packt; SilverStripe 2.4 - Module Extension, Themes and Widgets. Despite the slightly misleading title, the book takes you through the entire process of building a relatively complex site for a local bar by extending the core functionality as well as using various Modules and Widgets along the way.Continue reading...

A broken water main in Vine Grove caused the city to be placed on a boil water advisory Monday.
The water main broke at the corner of Oak Street and Ky. 144, likely because of the age of the line, City Clerk Jackie Johnson said.
That break at about 4 p.m. caused water loss officials expected to last three hours. The water loss from the broken main and other lines that had to be shut off while fixing it affected much of the city, Johnson said.
A mass call was sent to residents to inform them of the advisory to boil water used in human consumption once water service was restored, she said.
Issuing a boil water advisory is a standard precautionary measure after a line break. It lasts typically about 24 hours, until a water sample can be tested by the state to be sure it is safe for human consumption, she said.
Officials plan to issue a mass call to let residents know when the advisory is lifted.

The Arsenal Academy is now in its 11th season, having been one of the first tier of English clubs to gain academy status in 1998.
During its existence the Academy has consistently produced footballers ready for first-team action with both Arsenal and other professional football clubs.
The Academy Director is legendary midfielder Liam Brady, who is ably assisted by David Court, also a former Gunners star. Both are responsible for the development of all the boys registered with the Academy between the ages of nine and 21.
At the end of season 2003/04, the Under-17s and Under-19s were disbanded by the FA to form one competitive level for Club Academies, the Under-18s. The Arsenal Under-18s are based at the Training Centre with the first-team squad and are coached by former Arsenal centre-half Steve Bould.
The junior levels of the Academy set-up - from Under-16s down to Under-nines - are based at Hale End Training Centre, another state-of-the-art Arsenal facility, under the guidance of Roy Massey.
The Under-18s finished in the top half of the table last season, a worthy achievement when you consider that Bould regularly fields very young teams in order to rest those older, eligible players who may have been playing reserve or first-team football.
Results are certainly not the 'be all and end all' for the Under-18s with the Club's primary concern at this age being player development. The most prominent example of a player progressing through the current system is Ashley Cole, who established himself as first choice left-back for both club and country before his move to Chelsea.
A number of former Academy youngsters have made their mark in the Carling Cup, taking Arsenal to three successive Semi-Finals and a Final appearance in 2007.
Goalkeeper Stuart Taylor, midfielders Jermaine Pennant, David Bentley, Steven Sidwell and defender Justin Hoyte are all Academy graduates who have earned England Under-21 caps, while Academy product Jeremie Aliadiere represented France Under- 21s. Taylor and Aliadiere also won League Championship medals, in 2002 and 2004 respectively.
With Academy players regularly dominating the Arsenal reserve team line-ups and a steady progression of players being blooded in the senior side, the Academy production line looks set to continue and produce players to grace Emirates Stadium for many years to come.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The Vikings announced Thursday that running back Adrian Peterson underwent hernia surgery earlier in the day. Peterson had dealt with the hernia issue since mid-December, but that injury, much like everything else that stood in front of Peterson in 2012, didn't slow him down en route to an historic season. Peterson rushed for 497 yards on 83 carries in the final three games of the regular season and ended up just eight yards shy of breaking the single-season rushing record.
Update: Peterson told ESPN's Josina Anderson that he actually suffered the sports hernia back in Week 10 and that "Each week, it just got worse and worse and worse." This man is just unreal.
Fantasy Analysis:
The team said there are no long-term concerns following this surgery. Considering what Peterson overcame last year, I'm not sure what injury would be of long-term concern to him. Hernia surgeries keep most players out 3-6 weeks. With that timetable, Peterson should reach 100 percent health by this time next Tuesday. All bad jokes aside, Peterson should be the No. 1 player on 2013 fantasy draft boards.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Jager and The Leash
I have had to leash train many, many dogs. It has always been the biggest pain for me, I abore it really. The head throws side to side. The planting of feet. The endless whining. All while you are standing still in the grass looking at them. Waiting. It's always a waiting game, so they realize the leash is not going to hurt them. Waiting.
Jager tumbled around the front yard, having just gotten used to his collar the day before. I attach the leash, and he immediately dislikes it. Whining, biting at it, trying to back out of it.
I encourage him to come to me a few times. At first, there is no response. He is so wrapped up in fighting the leash, he isn't hearing me. Then out of no where, he snaps out of it. He lurches toward me and ignores the leash attached to him!
He has been on 4 walks now. (Two a day.) No problems. None. Has to kind of job to keep up with my normal gate so parts of the walks have been SLOW going, but he walks. As he walks, isn't too shy of passing cars, or people. We haven't passed any other dogs but he is doing really well.
He has also picked up quickly on potty training. He really is an amazing puppy. This breed is everything I remember from my childhood memories, they are intuitive and responsive to subtle corrections...
Now, if i can just find a toy more exciting than a dirty sock, I will be have reached Nirvana.

How far away is the coop from the sender Rob ?
Quote from: Sparky on December 18, 2010, 09:48:38 PMHow far away is the coop from the sender Rob ?Mine is only about 200ft from the coop, but X-10 signals travel across the power lines, so farther distances are quite possible. As long as it isn't isolated by a transformer, it will go quite far. I have heard stories of families set to the same house code getting each others signals.
My outside shed lights had some problems with the inconsistent signals from the house and it is around 180ft. away. I bought the x10 repeater and installed it at the electrical panel in the house and now my modules respond much better inside and out.
Yes, but they are the most expensive thing you will ever have. The down payment is a diamond ring and the payments go all your life.
Thanks for sharing all the info! Wondering if anybody has plans for a automatic chicken plucker

Pasture Restoration
November 26, 2007, 07:55:56 PM »
Hello all,
Just purchased 36 acres of land that was once pasture...ten or twelve years ago. It is now sparsely covered in cedar trees ranging from 12" to 3 feet tall. The rest is every manner of weed. I began some tractor work and bush hogging 6 or 8 acres. Unbelievably, there is some green grass underneath all the weeds. Here's my question.....
Am I distributing the weed seed while cutting everything back down to normal pasture / grazing height? Seems the "dandelion" style seed head on the weeds that are waist tall like to clog up the radiator on the tractor. I had to keep stopping and cleaning the grill off so the radiator would cool. We plan to have cows, horses by mid summer next year. I cannot afford to reseed and fertilize the entire 36 acres as our finances will renovate the farm house, barn, and fencing. Reseeding will also require at least 2 diskings and observing from other pastures nearby there are millions of pancake size rocks that I don't want to bring to the surface. What good is disking if it only leaves me with rocks to replant new seed on?
This is the first time I have been faced with the task of reclaiming an abandoned pasture. My thought is to cut down the weeds and trees and let the green grass underneath grow. It would be less expensive to go this route and then in late spring spray a broadleaf specific herbicide on the acreage. $750.00 for herbicide is a lot cheaper than the $144.00 per acre I'd incur in seed, fertilizer, drill rental, etc. 36 acres x $144 is $5184.00. The $144 per acre is the material estimate provided by the farmers co-op.
Anyone been on this journey before me??

i have done this! first, i wouldn't disk. i would cut things down with a bush hog. then i'd break the surface with the 'tiller. this is less disruptive to the grass root than disking and will keep you from having to re-seed. then i'd spray with Weed Master. if your winters are at all mild, or you have a lot of weeds still growing, do it now and again in the spring. i usually do it in may. weed master is the best pasture spray. withdrawl time is 0 days, but i usually keep livestock off for a few days. it's 2oz per gallon. you should be able to do the whole place with about 150 gallons. then get some good pature mix and overseed the thin spots. you can do it now or very early in the spring. try to keep your livestock off those spots for a season.
if you don't want those trees, you can brush hog them out. it's fun. if you do want them, you'll have to protect them with some fencing. cows are bad on trees and horses can be also.

Not sure how this would work where you are but here I had a similar situation but with pine trees and a couple hundred acres to do. I found bushoging was not as cheap as burning the land off. It leaves nutrients and is very easy to broadcast seed with minimum soil disturbace. Also check into no till farming methods.

Yes, you are disturbing/distributing weed seed if you bush-hog. After 10-12 years of neglect, however, it shouldn't make any difference in weed pressure, your ground will be full of seeds biding their time, waiting to erupt. Most weed seeds use sunlight as a trigger to germinate, they can lay dormant for 10+years until stirred up and exposed to light, then they begin to grow. My recommendation is to divide the 36 into six, 6 acre paddocks, bush-hog them all now, but fight and conquer each one individually. You will need 2-4D, fertilizer, and time. Using this plan of attack, you can do it right (at least my opinion of what that is) and bush-hog or burn, disk, harrow, reseed, fertilize and drag each sub-plot individually as funds allow. Once 2 paddocks are well established get a couple steers. I don't believe trying to salvage the old grass, whatever that is, is a good idea. You have no idea what it's nutritional value is, or how it will stand up to traffic or grazing. It's a safe bet it won't choke out weeds, look at the state of the field now. I don't see a need for a seed-drill, I've seeded many fields with a broadcast spreader (3pt hitch inverted cone) followed by a drag or harrow. I'd be waiting until spring 2009 to put any animals on that ground. I've never been on the same journey your asking about, but I'm an ex-orchardist and this is the approach I would take if I were to plan on establishing a new field of trees or tame ground for a blueberry patch. Good luck,
House Bee

Thanks all for the input. Seems I am on the right track. I do want to leave a few patches of cedar trees which I have creatively cut around. Since we are relocating to Tennessee in June I have no choice but to turn our horses out onto the pasture at that time. I will paddock them to prevent them from overgrazing on the grass. Cattle can wait a year or so.
I thought about asking the forestry service if they could prescribe burn my pature. Forestry service in Georgia helped some friends of mine this way. My friends were responsible for the firebreaks and the forestry service provided some sort of propane burners to get the grass burning and supervision.
Due to the severe drought I don't even want to ask. Disking is out due to the rocks below the surface. In the past, I've both broadcast and drilled and have found that drilling (in my opinion) had better germination results. Maybe it was better weather, I don't know.
Seems the next logical step would be to invite the County Extension agent over for lunch after the cutting is done. He should be able to tell me what kind of grass I have, take some soil samples and provide a recommendation.
Good point Ben....there is really nothing I can do to cause more weeds to grow. :roll:
For me....I don't count the cost in bush hogging. I find it a relaxing break from the cell phone. Any kind of tractor work sure beats the office any day.
Despite all the work, I can't help but be excited. I took some before pictures and the entire place looks a ton better with the little bit of cutting I have done. I'm sure the neighbors appreciate my removing the eyesore.

keep us posted on the adventure. sounds like you already have horses. don't know if you have dealt with horses and pasture. you'll want to cross fence that place anyway. you don't want your horses on that much grass all the time. + the cows tend to really trash pastures. i fence about 1 acre per 3 horses and rotate them through. even so, i have rich pasture and have to be careful in the spring and fall. you could use only a small portion of your land for the horses and the balance for the cattle. when you get ready to cross fence, write back if you need ideas. it can be done with little expense (relatively) :-)

Stingtarget. Wow, you have alot of work ahead of you to do, it will take time, but you can bet your bottom dollar, one day, you will have one beautiful piece of property.
I think that taking small plots at a time is an excellent idea.
We live on 5 acres. The easter 2 acres are totally cleared and this is where we live with gardens galore, 17 years that we have been here, cultivating, beautifying. It was a total mess and horribly and poorly taken care of when we moved it, now it is like a park. The back 3 acres was bush. We live in a rain forest and it was just undergrowth and trees, very dense. The horses had made trails throughout, which made it very cool for walks.
The year before last we had this back 3 acres cleared completely, leaving small grove of coniferous trees and it has become very beautiful. It has not been seeded or anything, just the weeds and all to grow. I just have not had the time to work any deeper back there. But it is still pretty.
This spring my Son-in-Law, along with my Husband will do alot of work pulling a rig that they made for catching debris and rocks. We will work hard to really get the land cleared, the little cottonwood and alders have begun to grow back, so they need to be removed before they are big trees again. It is my intention to have this set with grass seed and clovers, it will be done, but it takes time.
So, I could not imagine even in my wildest dreams what you have ahead of you, but I wish you well. Look at the big picture, a little bit at a time, and you will get their, your dream will be achieved. Yea!!!! Have a beautiful and wonderful day, love our life we live. Cindi

Been there done that. we had 80 acres to deal with . We split it into 20 acre plots and we bush hogged all of the weeds down and then irrigated to get some water on what ever grass was out there, Mainly bermuda and crab grasses. It is a good cattle and horse pasture. Then after 2 waterings we let it dry a bit and turned the horses and cattle out on it. They were allready used to pasture only raising with no hay and they did well on it. While the horses were on one plot we did the other 3 and would keep cutting down what weeds the horses and cattle left behind before we irrigated again. We moved them from one pen to another and with having 4 we had pleanty of grow time between movings and had plenaty of feed. And by then the gras had moved and filled in all of the bare spots. When a pasture goes dorment from being unused it is still there all it needs is to be cut down and watered several times to let is become re established and all will be well. You would be surprized on how fast you can get the pasture up and going again in the spring. With really little work besides cross fencing and moving them from spot to spot and watering. It will do fine. We never sprayed the pasture and we always bush hogged before irrigation and never had a problem. They wont eat everything and you have to keep it the same level. And bush hogging will level out the manure piles. I grew up on a ranch and this is something I was in charge of. That and all of the animals and vet care and training the horses.

Stingtarget, you have an excellent memory, looks like it is better than mine. I have posted so many pictures on this forum, I probably did post one of the land clearing, I don't recall it though and to look back through my posts would be a huge undertaking, so I will take your word for it, ;) :) :). We left all the smaller coniferous trees to make small groves to keep it nice. I didn't want the land to be stark naked, void of trees. The evergreen trees are a marvel of nature and make the landscape lovely, these small ones stayed. The older ones that took up too much room were logged to help pay for the landscaping. It is very nice back there. Good luck, and have a great and wonderful day, Cindi

Pictures taken this weekend showing some progress....
The following picture shows the lower pasture after cutting and more cedar trees going up the hill.
Cedar trees get larger the further uphill I go. Will probably need a dozer with a root rake on the blade to take them out. Much too large for bush hog. Don't want to chainsaw and leave stumps either. I may end up pushing these up and into a pile for burning.
I've never posted pictures so I hope this works. If it does, I may post one more. They take a while to upload.
Good night all.

Not too bad for an abandoned farm. I'll need to take down some of the older buildings that have already collapsed. The barn will be dismantled and reconstructed as a single level barn using the orignial wood. It needs to be moved 50 feet or so.
Clarification. The pretty green hill on the other side of the road is not ours.

Over the last few years, Laser Eye Surgery has become the mainstream treatment for vision problems like nearsightedness, far sightedness and astigmatism. Even celebrities have undergone the eye procedure and a vast majority of the operations have passed off with no ill effects. Lasik which is the most popular type of Laser Eye Surgery has been performed since the 1990's and the procedure has been greatly improved over the years. However, this does not mean that other types of Laser Eye Surgery are ineffective; Lasek or PRK are recommended by eye doctors for patients who are not possible candidates for Lasik.
How will you know if you are not a candidate for Lasik?
Some questions cannot be answered until the eye doctor has examined the eyes. After the initial consultation, the eye doctor will inform you whether you are a candidate for laser eye correction otherwise, a different eye procedure will be recommended. Some people though cannot undergo Laser Eye Surgery due to the following conditions:
• Pregnancy – visions changes are not uncommon during pregnancy which makes it difficult for the eye doctors to determine the correct measurements. Some medications may not be suitable for pregnant and nursing women.
• Eye conditions – those with eye diseases and corneal conditions like chronic dry eyes or glaucoma are not permitted to undergo Laser Eye Surgery.
• Autoimmune diseases – people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis or Type 1 diabetes are not good candidates for Laser Eye Surgery since their healing abilities might be compromised.
Benefits of Laser Eye Surgery
Many patients who have undergone Laser Eye Surgery are happy about the effects with the vast majority reporting that their eyes felt normal after the day of operation. Minimal Discomfort can be felt immediately after the eye procedure but this is alleviated by anti-bacterial eye drops that the eye doctor will prescribe. Many patients have also reported that they have experienced good vision immediately after the surgery but not all patients will enjoy this benefit particularly those with higher prescriptions. In most cases, people with very low prescriptions will immediately see improvements but those with higher prescriptions will have to wait for about 6 to 8 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Be sure to see our Opera 101 as well!
Where is the AT&T Performing Arts Center?
The Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House at the AT&T Performing Arts Center is located between Woodall Rodgers Freeway and Ross Avenue at the eastern end of the Arts District, next door to the Meyerson Symphony Center. Click here for more specific directions, or click here to find us on Google Maps.
Where do we park to access the Winspear Opera House?
Limited underground parking beneath the Winspear is available in the Lexus Red Garage. At TDO performances, self parking is $15 and Valet parking is $25. Reserved parking is available as a benefit to our Inner Circle members. Limited handicap parking spaces are also available for the $15 self-parking rate during performances. Parking is also available at One Arts Plaza, just a short walk away from the Winspear. Prices range from $5-$15 per vehicle.
For more information and a parking map, see Directions and Parking.
I'd rather not drive — can I use public transportation?
Yes, indeed! Whether you're coming from far North Dallas or the other side of the Trinity River, you can arrive at the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House by DART rail, exiting at the Pearl Street DART station located just a few short blocks from the Grand Portico.
Where can we get something to eat or drink before the performance?
Most operas last an entire afternoon or evening. While a variety of food and drinks are served at the Winspear, it's a good idea to eat beforehand, if you have the time. For more substantial fare, we can recommend several local restaurants that have given outstanding support to the Dallas Opera: Salum and Komali on Cole Ave; Ocean Prime and The Capital Grille in nearby Uptown; Jorge's, and Tei An in One Arts Plaza, just a block away from the Winspear.
We got here early. What is there to do?
Congratulate yourself! You'll be cool, calm and collected when the curtain goes up. The Dallas Opera offers a FREE pre-opera talk in Hamon Hall one hour prior to each performance (except for the season opening night performance of Great Scott). Pre-performance dining options are located at nearby One Arts Plaza, in Uptown and elsewhere within the Arts District. Be sure to take a stroll in the Grand Lobby and the Grand Portico, or check out the activity in nearby Annette Strauss Square, or Sammons Park. People-watching is a traditional part of opera-going!
How should I dress for the Opera?
Business attire is the norm for opera, but anything goes, from jeans to your favorite evening gown! You'll see more formal attire on opening night and at Saturday night performances; the mid-week performance and Sunday matinees tend to be a bit more casual. However, the rule of thumb is simple: Dress for the experience you want to have. If it makes you feel like a million bucks, wear it; after all, for some people, part of the fun is dressing up!
We're not sure we can get there on time. Is this a problem?
We regret to inform you that there is no late seating for any performance of The Dallas Opera. This is a courtesy to both the singers and other members of the audience. If you should happen to arrive after the opera has begun, you can watch the performance on a closed-circuit television monitor, located in Hamon Hall, until first intermission. In order to get the most out of your opera experience, it is really important to arrive prior to curtain time. Evening performances typically begin at 7:30 PM and matinées at 2:00 PM, but sometimes earlier if the opera is long. For details, consult your performance's page here.
Can I purchase a ticket at the door?
Usually seats are available at the door unless the performance is already sold-out. For additional information, contact the friendly Dallas Opera Ticket Services staff at 214.443.1000 and, of course, you can buy advance tickets online, by phone, or in person at the box office.
I have an extra ticket, what can I do with it?
Bring a friend, neighbor, coworker or family member and treat them to a fabulous new experience! If that simply isn't possible, you are welcome to donate your extra ticket for a tax deduction equal to the amount you paid. Tickets can be donated up to one hour prior to curtain. You can call the ticket office at 214-443-1000 during regular office hours or leave a message at 214-443-1005 after hours. The receipt for your ticket donation will be mailed to you in January.
Are the operas performed in English?
Not unless it was originally composed in English. The Dallas Opera traditionally performs operas in their original languages. English translations (called supertitles) are projected above the stage throughout every performance. The supertitles are used even when the opera is sung in English. You'll never be left in the dark!
How long will the performance last?
It depends on the production. In general, you can expect an opera to last between two-and-a-half and three hours, including intermissions. Works by certain composers, like Richard Wagner, can run longer. For details, consult your performance's page here.
Where can I find out more about this opera?
Start here or ask at your local library. And welcome to the incredible world of opera!
What about after we take our seats?
First and foremost, relax! It's time to let go of the stresses and strains of the day and reward yourself. Some people like to take the minutes before a performance to share an intimate conversation with their seatmate. Others prefer to look over the program book, read the synopsis or articles designed to enhance the opera-going experience, or find out how many intermissions they can expect. Please don't forget to turn off your cellphone, and if you plan to have a lozenge or hard candy handy to soothe a ticklish throat, now's the time to fish it out of your pocket or purse and unwrap it.
When should I applaud?
For an opera singer, the only thing better than giving a great performance, is to be acknowledged by an appreciative audience. However, your applause needs to wait until the performer has finished singing. If in doubt, hold your applause until the people around you begin to clap. If you are extra enthusiastic about what you've just heard, feel free to shout "Bravo!" if the singer is a man, and "Brava!" for a lady. Of course, there is always applause at the end of each act and opportunities for curtain calls, stamping, whistling and standing ovations at the end of each opera. Go for it!
Is it okay to laugh?
Yes, certainly, if it's funny!
What if I have to leave the auditorium during the performance?
Please try to do so as discreetly and quietly as possible, for the sake of other patrons. And be aware that once you have left the auditorium, we cannot allow you to return until the next intermission; however, you are welcome to sit and view the performance on a closed-circuit monitor in Hamon Hall.
What can we expect at intermission?
Intermissions at The Dallas Opera are twenty minutes long, unless the program indicates otherwise. You are encouraged to purchase additional tickets at the box office (open during the first intermission) or relax and enjoy a drink with your friends. Announcements will let you know that the intermission is ending and it's time to turn off your phone and return to your seat. Once the doors are closed, you will not be allowed to enter the performance hall.
How will we know when the opera is over?
There are two clues to watch for: a wild outpouring of applause, cheers, and whistles and — simultaneously — the sight of select audience members sprinting up the aisles at the speed of light. If you feel elated following the performance, show it! Now's your chance to cheer, whistle and stomp to your heart's content! The artists love it, of course.
Tell us more about the new opera house.
Designed by Foster + Partners under Pritzker Prize-winning architect Norman Foster, the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House has been engineered specifically for opera and musical theater performances as well as having special stage design for ballet and other forms of dance.

Question #1. If a honey super is full, and completely capped, is appropriate to harvest the honey now or is there a reason to wait and do all the supers at once later?
Question #2. If the hive is really busy and full of bees when we take the supers off, will it be overcrowded with the removal of the supers? Where do they all go? Do I put another empty super back on ? Or is there a natural reduction of bee population and overcrowding is not a problem?
If you have one capped box you need 2 box more where they dry up nectar.
[I've never read this anywhere. I've always supered when the last super was at least 3/4 full. I guess I've been waiting too long.
I've always supered when the last super was at least 3/4 full. .
Either the flows here are really weak or I'm just not making enough room.

|good news...
So today I was down at the boat and really took a look at this little problem. It turns out my shaft log and that whole area is fine and there is NO LEAK! Turns out the glassed in piece of plywood that the water lift muffler sits on, is not even connected to the solid fiber glass of the boat below and around it. It is just glassed in on the sides and over the top but I can stick a piece of a sail batten all the way through the slow between the fiberglass and the plywood where I original thought it was leaking. The forward and rear edges of the plywood are exposed and the whole piece of wood over time has become water logged between the shaft drip spray, the rudder log and just general wetness in this area. The "spray" leak I saw when the boat was in gear was just the vibration rattling water out of it.
Well as I said, I pried it up with the piece of sail batten and let the whole area get some air under there. Problem solved! No leak what so ever as right under that plywood is solid fiberglass. Also today my rigging got finished and the furler installed and genny bent on! Boat is now 100% ready to go so today was a good day.
Hey Barry - Congrats on getting the boat in. I'm sure your excited and we def have to have a beer in person one of these days!
Don't know when I'm going to get down to the boat next since the weather is supposed to suck for the next few days but myself and the rigger are going to attempt to finish up with my rigging tomorrow. If I do go down there I figured I would mess around with it a little more but at this point I'm not too worried about it.
Anyway I'm sure I'll see you down there soon
Take care,
A test to perform
Hey Nick,
Sorry to hear of your problem. My boat got splashed yesterday.
If you can get out and sail on a breezy day you can determine once and for all if the problem is the engine or the shaft log. Sail on windy day, turn the engine off, and put the trans in neutral. The shaft should freewheel (assuming you don't have a feathering or folding prop). If you have a leak, it's the shaft. If no leak, then it's the engine exhaust or something like that.
Good luck and let me know if you need a hand testing things.
One last thing, I don't think it will be possible for you to apply anything from under the boat. I doubt you will be able to see where water is getting, and I doubt you could apply anything that would stick and make a seal.
|Sorry, but I do not think you will be able to be 100% sure where or how your leak is located before you actually haul it. Some others ideas of patching for the season, may work, just remember, or consider the removing of any patch that may interfere later. Is it possible that this area froze last winter? If so I would expect to encounter some de-lamination when you get into it. Good luck.
|True - I think I will do both - take a look at other boats and then also try a small pin hole to see. I figured worst case water comes out but since the hole I drilled is so tiny I can easily patch it up then haul the boat. Best case no water comes out and I am able to investigate further with a possible larger hole. If it is a leak in the shaft log I would hope that area under the platform is hollow and so long as there is no water in there I can cut out a section of that platform, locate the leak in the shaft log, and seal everything up. But first I am going to start with the tiny hole. Wish me luck

Maybe take a stroll around the boatyard looking for a similar aperture arrangement, so you can study how the tube seals at the aperture opening. This might give you some better insight into what you're potentially dealing with.

|John - Yes I can say by just the picture of your boat in your signature it looks exactly like mine. I am thinking along the same lines as you right now by trying to seal the leak in the boat and then once the water warms up a bit diving under and applying something on the underside. I am curious and tempted to try drilling a small hole into that platform that the muffler is screwed onto just to see what happens - if it is solid or hollow and if water comes out.

I was watching my wife clean her Bersa Thunder .380 this weekend and I couldn't help but notice how much more wear her little gun has already than any other gun I've owned for a longer period of time.
I'm not sure if the wear I'm seeing is just cosmetic, or if parts are actually wearing out.
Are you owners of Bersas still happy with your guns?
So you feel like your Bersa has held up well?
Has anyone had one long enough to feel like thier gun has worn out and needs to be replaced?
If you were to make the purchase again, would you stick with Bersa, or would you go with a more expensive .380?
Acquiring minds want to know ... :smt102

I just weighted myself on a digital scale and im actually 122 lbs o.O
Im a twig...I think also its because I've been jogging
Probably going to do some weight training to add some muscle mass...
Do you think the Artifact Rocker will do a little better in powder compared to the Kink?
I think I might be getting the Artifact Rocker 147
Its the same general rocker profile, except where the rocker starts. It starts just outside the inserts on the Rome, and the Ride it starts just like an inch behind the contact pts. The Kink is effectively a zero camber board.
Originally Posted by GlobalWarming View Post

EDIT: will the stance width still be okay if i get 147 since im not tall?
And you'll be fine for stance width. I think the reference is proably like 21in. meaning you'll be able to get it to 18. You're not that short. I'm 5'8. Peter line is like 5'4. Mikey Leblanc, who rides kinks often, is like 5'6. Actually its probably easier to count the number or pros over 5'10 than below. Most are shorter.
oh i see.....that makes sense....it would be harder to balance on the box/rail if the board is shorter...
on your list of suggestions the Ride Kink is the same profile as the Artifact Rocker....a Rocker-Flat-Rocker and you suggested a 147 for that....
If I get the Artifact Rocker....would the 147 be fine?
I have never done a press on a box before......but if I try to learn how
to do it correctly, even if i choose a Rocker-Flat-Rocker board, can it still turn out really bad?
Is the basic concept of pressing is to flex the leg muscles more instead of just using the body and leaning?
EDIT: will the stance width still be okay if i get 147 since im not tall?
If you've already go your fundamentals then rocker is just easier. But being easier in the learning phase means learning back technique. It doesn't hinder pressing, just the learning of pressing.
Having less board underneath you will basically mean less board to slide across the metal. Less stable. And you will overflex a 144 meaning no stability or lock in a press.
I haven't looked at a board weight range for eons. I've ridden almost everything I recommended you so I just know how they ride. And knowing how they ride those are the sizes for you weight you should be looking at.
Hi, thanks for the suggestions...
is it really too small? Should i not go too small for a park board?
I am only ~127 lbs and ~5'6-5'7
Are the weight ranges from the manufacturer not always the best
depending on different factors?
Since I am not that tall, I thought I would go on the upper bound with the weight range
(like getting a board thats for max weight 130 lbs or 125 lbs)
on a board so my stance width would match can I have room to make the stance width wider or narrower when I need to change it...
Would 150cm+ might be too long for a park orientated board? I will do some small jumps but not any big ones for sure...I have an old directional all mountain board which is like 151 and I even thought that was too long for me in all mountain/freeride...
I was thinking the Artifact Rocker wouldn't be that bad since it is not all rocker but only 1/2 rocker and flat between the bindings...
would getting a partial rocker like the Artifact Rocker be bad for learning press and butter? And I am kinda newbie, what does 5-0's mean?
I read the sticky thread on the board profiles but I still dont really get what each type is good for (camber,rocker, camber-rocker mix etc.)
EDIT: Would a shorter board not be good for learning riding fakie and doing boardslide at first?
EDIT2: If camber is better maybe i should try Rome Artifact camber 144 or 147.......A question i have though is....if rocker is bad to learn proper techniques, which means its bad for beginners, is it also bad for intermediate and experts? Then it would just be bad overall?
That's too small in the Artifact. Even for a jib board.
Get something Flat or camber and you'll develop proper skills better. Learning to press and butter for the first time on rocker tends to get people doin lean presses. Which means when you get better you'll have a damn hard time getting comfortable locking onto rails in 5-0's and nose presses.
Nitro Swindle 148, Signal Park Flat 150, Ride Kink 147, Rome Artifact camber 147, Bataleon Disaster 148, Salomon Salomonder 148, or a Capita Stairmaster 148.
If you have to have rocker just bump up to something a little more mid range with rocker. Arbor Westmark 150, Salomon Drift Rocker 152, Echelon Rounds 152, Flow Verve 152, Capita Ultrafear 151, or an Endeavor Colour 152.
Looking for suggestions on a mainly park/all mtn freestyle short board.
Hi guys, newbie here...
Im looking for a board to mainly do park and some freestyle on the green+blue trails (like buttering and finding small bumps to jump off of), I dont go on blacks/diamonds......a park board that would hold up even if i go faster on the blue trail would be good.
My riding ratio would maybe be about 60% park + 40% mountain...
sometimes just do laps on the longer lifts where theres some trail then enters the park and some more trail before getting to bottom of lift again...
I think I might be between beginner and intermediate in general snowboarding......I can link turns, so-so at riding fakie so want to improve on that...
But I am pretty beginner at the park...only 50-50 and maybe get a little air on some rollers...
Im very light about 127 lbs
So what im looking for is a True Twin kinda short board thats more park orientated so I can learn how to do some basic boardslides, learn how to ride fakie better, hopefully some presses, and small jumps.
I really hope to learn how to get some presses done and have fun doin some buttering on the greens so I would prefer a more noodleish board...maybe a 2 or 3 out of 10 flex scale.
I also wanted to buy a board goin on the upper limit of weight range so sorta downsizing a bit, since im newbie and want to learn how to boardslide and ride fakie better first......and im also weak due to health reasons so i couldn't ride for a couple seasons...
so I was thinking something like 144-145cm board.
So i know with my weight my options to find a short board are kind of limited......and the best match I have found currently is the
Rome Artifact Rocker 144cm...
I like the rocker-flat-rocker profile so its easier to boardslide and
also good for presses and buttering......what other profiles would be good for my needs?
Is this board light also? (doesn't weigh a lot)
I know some people say it doesnt matter and i'm not sure if it matters, but I would also prefer a lighter board so it's easier to carry, less weight on the foot on the lift cuz i'm weak, and easier to spin in tricks(?)
Since im still new to the park and learning I prefer not to blow 500 on a board and break it or end up not fitting my style....so Im okay with using 2012 model board which are on sale...
I also checked out the skate banana 145cm but its all sold out and some people said it wont be too good for a lot of park and the uniform rocker profile would be hard to learn boardslides on...
Sorry for the long post guys......if theres more info needed to pin down a specific board good for my needs I will try to provide...
This might be selfish after wasting your time reading =( but I hope I can get some suggestions I can look into before tonight midnight PST because theres a sale for the Artifact Rocker and I might just buy it......sorry about that, I only decided very recently I want to snowboard again, and I saw the sale and instantly registered to this forum but it took a day or two for my account to get activated so I can post.
