Another call. I'm more hopefull this time as it's for abandoned hive boxes. The owner of the property thinks there may be a colony in one of them and says that there are no rego numbers on the boxes. Sounds like a bit of fun anyway.As it's a bit out of town so I'm going up there on the weekend to check it out.
PM your number to me just in case.
Fresh in today.a bit hard to see the entrance they are using because the grapefruit tree is shading it, but they are living in the wall cavity of a bungalow. The wall is old cement sheeting (great asbestos!) which will need to come off to access the comb. The number of bees makes it look to me like it is a decent size hive.I'm thinking that this is a job for the new bee vac! Yee Ha! I haven't decided when I'm going to do the cut out yet. I still have to get a few things together.
Any cement sheeting older than about 30 years is going to have asbestos in. Will let you know if I think it's going to be a 2 man job.It's not far from work down in Moorabin but beeing a cut-out it means it's going to be a weekend job.

Hi Lucy,
I put this on the forums but haven't heard back yet.
Basically, I am giving serious thought to doing a tefl certificate. Was thinking of teaching in either China or Japan, partly as I've always wanted to go there and also because I heard that (correctly?) that's where the work is.
About me: I'm a native English speaker with a 2:1 Honours degree in English. Previously, I worked as a teaching assistant in primary schools and with adults in a college (2008-9) before going onto work in a childrens home for teens with autism. To communicate with them, we used simple direct sentences as well as visual aids. Also I draw comics (this may seem apropos of nothing but a friend who teaches abroad said that drawing ability came in handy sometimes in his lessons). So...
1) Is this relevant or transferable enough experience to do a TEFL course?
2) I got made redundant from the kids home in June, would this pose a problem for visa etc?
3) Which course do you recommend? I've already had a look round for good ones and ones to avoid. So far the CELTA seems most recommended...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Following are places I wish I had been present to observe:
Being a member of the Lewis & Clark expedition and seeing the Rocky Mountains hover into view.
Wading ashore at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944 and being among some of the bravest men in American history.
Meeting Abraham Lincoln during the office hours he held for citizens who wanted to talk with him.
On a picket line with Walter Reuther who headed the United Auto Workers.
At Stalin's dacha the day he died to observe Russian leaders try to figure out what next should be done.
At the signing of the Magna Carta.
Landing in Cuba with Columbus when he asks his Hebrew speaking interpreter to speak with the Indians.
On the ship carrying my mom as she sails into New York harbor and sees the Statue of Liberty.
At the Teddy Roosevelt speech where he got shot and still made the speech.

SOUTH ST. PAUL, MN — New from Crane Vending Solutions Distribution are two versatile combination venders in the company's GPL and Automatic Products lines. Both are offered in five- and six-shelf models, and can dispense candy and snacks, packaged cold beverages and food.
The AP Ultra-Flex and GPL Fusion incorporate state-of-the-art Dixie-Narco refrigeration systems, and are manufactured with 100% injected foam to perform to the Tier 1 Energy Star standard originally developed for cold beverage venders. Both deliver low power consumption, fast temperature pulldown, consistent temperature performance, reduced cycle times and long compressor life.
The new combination venders can serve as powerful sales tools for operators in an era of high energy costs, Crane pointed out. In addition to their efficient refrigeration systems, they incorporate LED illumination and customizable energy-saving modes. According to the manufacturer, product testing has demonstrated that the design can provide $174 in annual energy cost savings when compared with similar equipment.
The AP Ultra-Flex and GPL Fusion also incorporate timesaving service features to enhance productivity in the field. Each is manufactured with Crane legacy shelves, motors, spirals, control board and 2x20 display. These have demonstrated field performance of 99.9% uptime, based on service calls per year, Crane reported. Most parts are common to other Crane glassfront equipment. Both models are covered by a two-year parts warranty and three-year warranty on the compressor.
"The energy-efficient 'green' machines, with classic Crane components, provide superior value and a competitive edge for customers in the marketplace," said Crane Vending Solutions Distribution regional sales director Bryan Aune.

Justin Bieber made the day of dozens of fans lined up outside NBC's 30 Rock Center in hopes of winning standby tickets to see the teen host "Saturday Night Live."

"It's a standby line pizza party courtesy of @justinbieber and the awesome people on his team!" "SNL" Tweeted on Friday, along with a photo of smiling, bundled up fans holding a box of pizza.

In 1974, Bolton left the group; after brief trial runs with ex-Pink Fairies guitarist Larry Wallis and future Whitesnake member Bernie Marsden, former Scorpion Michael Schenker stepped in as a permanent replacement in time to record 1974's Phenomenon, which sported a harder-edged guitar sound. After 1975's Force It and 1976's No Heavy Petting brought UFO increased visibility with American audiences, keyboardist Paul Raymond joined for 1977's Lights Out. However, after 1978's Obsession, Schenker left the group, first to rejoin the Scorpions and later to form his own band. Despite the addition of guitarist Paul Chapman, the next UFO LP, No Place to Run, failed to match the success of its predecessors.
In 1982, the band released Mechanix, notching a minor U.S. hit with "Back Into My Life"; later that year, Way exited to form Waysted and was replaced by ex-Eddie & the Hot Rods bassist Paul Gray. After 1983's Making Contact, UFO dissolved, only to re-form two years later for Misdemeanor; however, the album was met with little response, and they again called it quits. In 1993, the group's most popular lineup -- Mogg, Schenker, Way, Raymond, and Parker -- reunited and recorded the 1995 album Walk on Water; after a tour, the members yet again went their separate ways. Mogg and Way continued to work as Mogg/Way and released the albums Edge of the World (1997) and Chocolate Box (1999).
Schenker rejoined in 2000 along with veteran drummer Aynsley Dunbar for the two-CD Covenant, which featured one disc of new studio recordings along with one disc of live recordings. Sharks came out in 2002; Schenker and Dunbar departed and were replaced by Vinnie Moore and Jason Bonham, respectively. This new band welcomed returning keyboardist Paul Raymond for 2004's You Are Here and 2005's live album Showtime. Bonham was the next to leave and was replaced by the band's original drummer, Andy Parker, for 2006's The Monkey Puzzle. The Visitor -- an album recorded without the participation of Pete Way due to the bassist's health problems -- followed in 2009. Seven Deadly arrived in 2012, and in early 2015 the group issued their 21st studio long-player, Conspiracy of Stars, which featured a lineup of core members Phil Mogg, Paul Raymond, and Andy Parker, along with Vinnie Moore and bassist Rob De Luca. ~ Jason Ankeny

text: OK, I got brave and scanned pics of my Boba costume from 1996, haha. For me it was awesome at the time. I made all the armor, including the gauntlets and jetpack (which regrettably you can't see in the photo where I am actually wearing it) out of foamcore! Helmet is of course a DP '95 repainted incorrectly. I took a lot of creative liberties. The suit is an actual military flightsuit I got at a surplus store. Hey, I guess we all start somewhere! But it's why I am here now, it is something I always wanted to drastically improve on. Luckily the resources exist to do so now!

Welcome from the Great Northwest
Hello to all,
This is my first time to post in a forum. Hope I'm dressed right! I've been buying and selling handguns for a long time and do a lot of shooting. I'm down to 4 now. But for some reason my holster collection has gone way up. My first hope is that being here, you all can help me make better selections. (I just need one more!) I carry full time. My last purchase was a S&W M&P 40 FS. An IWB or AIWB, not sure. See, I need help. Oh, I'm left handed to boot! (I draw from the correct side)
Well I've jumped in. Take care, John
Greetings John, welcome to the forum from Stone Mountain Georgia

Gender inequality in workplaces and in homes around the globe reflects individual attitudes and abilities, intra-household bargaining and legal and socio-cultural influences. Research that considers factors across the individual, household and cultural levels simultaneously is essentially nonexistent. We explore how gender attitudes are shaped by the national context, how these shape intra-household bargaining, and how women's and men's lives at work and at home are altered in the process. We hypothesize that women's income and their involvement in leadership roles are shaped by gender attitudes and intra-household bargaining outcomes, including the allocation of household work and childcare. We also predict that more equal distribution of household work and childcare between spouses and less traditional gender attitudes are associated with higher earnings, greater supervisory responsibility, and greater life satisfaction for both men and women.

KNOXVILLE - In a brief one hour and 15 minute match, the University of Tennessee women's tennis team swept Belmont (1-3) Sunday morning finishing with a 4-0 victory in part one of the doubleheader.
Co-Head Coach Mike Patrick got one win closer to 500 with the victory and currently holds a 499-294 career record, 443 of those wins coming while at Tennessee.
Tennessee (2-3) swept the doubles point in a quick 20 minutes as Eve Repic and Victoria Olivarez shut out their opponents of Kendall Warren and Laura Van Eeckhoudt at No. 1 doubles while Tiffany Tavares and Ashlee Boles notched a 6-1 win on court three.
The doubles point was the first one captured for Tennessee this season.
The Lady Vols momentum continued into singles where all six players earned a first set victory over the Bruins dropping just four games during the time and shutting out Belmont on three of the six courts.
Tennessee dropped just three more games during singles play as No. 63 Repic swept Sandra Kancheva 6-0, 6-0 from court one.
A few minutes later Olivarez added to the lead with a 6-1, 6-0 victory from court two and a mere seconds after that Brittany Lindl defeated Warren 6-0, 6-2 on court three to seal the victory.
The Lady Vols return to action later Sunday afternoon when they face Chattanooga at 4 p.m. at the Goodfriend Tennis Center.

At Christmastime, there are so many great baking ideas to celebrate the season. Sometimes it's hard to decide which ones you want to try.
I ran across a recipe for candy cane cake that caught my attention. After deciding to make it, I looked at the recipe more closely to discover it was made with an angel food cake. For some reason this did not sound like a tasty combination with the peppermint so I went an entirely different direction.
Instead of the angel food version, I made a mocha peppermint cake and made up the recipe on the spot.
Chocolate peppermint bark is always tasty so a chocolate and peppermint combination sounded like it would work well. Adding the taste of coffee to anything chocolate always sounds like a good idea to me.
The mocha peppermint cake project was a go.
I learned a coffee substitution trick from a recipe for mocha cookies and decide to use it with this cake. Take regular chocolate or devil's-food cake mix and, in place of the water called for in the instructions, use coffee. You don't have to make a whole pot of coffee for this step. If you make a pot in the morning just keep enough from the pot to set aside for the cake.
After making the cake I thought covering the entire thing with whipped cream icing might be a bit too much. Instead, you can spread the icing in-between the layers of cake and on top of the cake but not the sides. Not only do you not get icing overload but it also gives the cake an artistic touch.
The result was a great-tasting cake with Christmas flair.
After making this cake, I went to a ladies event at church and tasted a cake I wish I had known about before fixing the mocha peppermint cake. This one was a peppermint hot chocolate cake featured in "Southern Living" magazine.
The mocha cake was good and very easy, but this one was delicious.
I have not made it so I cannot tell you how easy or difficult it is to make, but it was too good no to share. The lady who made it for the event said it wasn't hard; it just had a lot of steps. In one step, she even forgot to add one of the ingredients and it turned out fine.
All I can tell you is it is scrumptious.
I included the recipe in case you want to give it a try. I know I will sometime in the future.

Mocha Peppermint Cake
1 box of chocolate or devil's-food cake mix plus the ingredients listed on the box to prepare the cake
Enough leftover coffee in the pot to substitute for the water needed in the box ingredients
2 cups heavy whipping cream
¼ cup sugar
8 ounces peppermint candy canes
Prepare the cake per the instructions on the box but substitute the coffee for the water.
Pour into two greased round cake pans and bake per the instructions on the box.
When the cakes have baked, cool completely.
To prepare the whipped cream frosting, first let the bowl and mixer beaters chill in the refrigerator. After they are chilled beat the cream with the ¼ cup of sugar until soft peaks form.
Ice the cooled cake.
Crush the candy canes in a sealed plastic bag until they are in small pieces. Then sprinkle the frosting with the crushed candy canes.
Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cake
1/2 cup boiling water
1 (4-ounce.) milk chocolate baking bar, chopped
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
Fudge Filling
1 (14-ounce.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12-oounce package semisweet chocolate morsels
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow crème
1 (8-ounce container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract
Rolled wafers and crushed peppermints for decoration
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
Pour boiling water over chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes).
Beat butter at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Add melted chocolate and vanilla, beating until blended. Combine flour and next three ingredients; add to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition.
Beat egg whites at medium speed until soft peaks form; gently fold into batter. Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks, and cool completely, about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare Fudge Filling.
Combine sweetened condensed milk and chocolate morsels in a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, four to six minutes or until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat; stir in peppermint extract. Cool filling to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
Spread filling between cake layers.
Next prepare the frosting. Beat marshmallow crème, whipped topping and peppermint extract at high speed with an electric mixer one to two minutes or until glossy, stiff peaks form.
Spread frosting on top and sides of cake. Top with crushed peppermints.
Place rolled wafers vertically around the sides of the cake for a decorative touch.

Consumers are now in control, especially when it comes time to buy. Ubiquitous connectivity allows consumers to easily check prices and buy on the go, which should worry (not terrify) traditional retailers in competitive categories. This "showrooming effect," which has been encouraged by Amazon, would enable web retailers to snatch some sales from the hands of their brick-and-mortar competition. A majority of sales are still happening offline, so the fear of showrooming — that most people are finding screaming deals online — is largely exaggerated. In fact, the majority of transactions still happen in stores, even when shoppers research online (yes, even when they've got their mobile devices in hand in a store). Forrester's US Cross-Channel Retail Forecast, 2011 To 2016, which launches today makes it clear just how influential and critical the web channel will be to eBusiness professionals in retail. By 2016 Forrester predicts that more than half of the dollars spent in US retail will be influenced by the Web. Already in 2011, $1.3 billion dollars in the US fall into this category.
It is imperative for eBusiness professionals in retail to adopt cross-channel best practices, including:

|You are gonna flex much more riding them. Its not gonna break the boots.
|I don't see how that can damage the boots. it was made to flex forward. Most likely the boots will break in and form to the pitch of the binders.
Matching forward lean to boots?
Well, my old boots are totally flexed out after 3 seasons, so I replaced them.
I noticed that my new boots seem to have less forward lean than my old ones.I guess my question is ;do I have to set the forward lean on my bindings to match up with the profile of the boots?
I ask because when I tightened up my bindings with the new boots, the boot was being forced to bend forward in order for the entire back of the boot to mate(for lack of a better word) with the high back .I don't want to cause my boots to wear out faster because of being forced to bend even when I 'm not doing a toe side turn.
What I did was reduce the forward lean of the bindings until it matched the profile of the new boot:the entire back of the boot was in full contact with the high back.
The problem was that I was so used to the old forward lean that I just could not ride like that ...I tried but couldn't.......I ended up putting the high back where it was before.
So now when I tighten up the straps it pulls the heel of the boot into the back of the binding , causing the boot to flex forward, which I am ok with.
Is this a problem or just a matter of personal preference? It rides very well like this(same as the old boots when new)
Just wondering if this can cause the boot to be damaged? I'm probably worrying about nothing , and if I can get 60 to 90 days out of these boots I'll be happy.

Discussion in 'Chevy Colorado Forum (GMC Canyon)' started by ChevyFan, Jan 16, 2014.
What's everyone think of the new 2015 GMC Canyon?
I would like to see it In-Person, but from the Pictures, I Like what I'm seeing on this GMC Canyon.
It's a nice looking truck, and from the story in our morning paper, it will be available in two bed lengths.
I'd actually consider this "Giant Monkey Chaser" over the colorado. But still want the diesel.
It looks like it reached puberty.. Definitely has a big truck look to it like its growing up a little.:lol:
If the diesel is the same little torque monster from the global platform and it rides better than the last generation. I'll be looking to get back in a mid size in 2016 when my Sierra is paid off.
The diesel intrigues me but for me there is something I don't like about the look - can't figure out what.
These aren't the mid sized trucks from the 80's. Pretty much going to be only slightly smaller than the old full-size trucks.
I like the GMC but can't do the options color ,wheels and body style like the Colorado site.
Separate names with a comma.

Getting back to the topic, I'm quite sure that no matter what he is saying, Johnny's move to New York City is so he is closer to the fashion industry which has always been his dream. I may also be in the minority here, but with the proper make up and decent hair styling, Johnny looks really good on camera. He is comfortable in front of an audience and I think he would do well as a model for men's clothing.

You just bought something at your favorite store. You walk out with a skip in your step thinking about when you might wear this new purchase. You give into your compulsion to check your email on your smartphone, and there, waiting for you, is a survey from that very company asking about your experience. You groan, but you click on the link. The survey isn't formatted for your phone, so you have to pinch to zoom in and out. You don't understand the first question. Or the second one. Frankly, you don't really care. You close your browser window, curse the company and every other company that has ever asked you to complete a survey, and vow never to shop anywhere ever again.
I'm no doctor, but I'm confident in my diagnosis: You are suffering from survey fatigue.
You're not alone. Survey fatigue has even made it into pop-culture as a known malady, thanks to articles like this one in USA Today. It's no surprise that consumers are irked; most companies' customer experience measurement programs and voice of the customer programs rely on surveys for the necessary data. As a result, consumers are getting barraged with requests for feedback, and, really, it's just because companies have good intentions. They want to know how they're doing and how they can improve the experience.
If you're one of these survey-reliant companies, what can you do? I'm working on some research right now on that very topic with our new analyst, Maxie Schmidt-Subramanian. We're exploring indicators of survey fatigue to help you spot the problem as well as best practices for reducing any fatigue that does exist.

About Me
Simon was born in New Zealand in 1970, and currently resides there in Waitakere Auckland. Simons passion as a photographer goes beyond capturing the beauty and majesty of nature and the natural world about him. As he puts it, Not all of my photographic works could be considered photographic master pieces. That's not my reason for photographing what I do. To me, if one of my photographs brings a smile to another face, a moment of inner bliss, to the viewer, then, to me, that is the single most important piece of work I have created to date. My single aim is to bring some enrichment and joy into other peoples lives through my photography. We all see beauty and fall in love with a subject of an image for our own reasons. That reason doesn't have to be understood or make sense to anyone else other than the viewer, at that moment in time. If I can do that, but once, for one person, through one piece of my work, then my goal and purpose as a photographer, and as a person is fulfilled, and I would consider my goal for that image fulfilled. That's a big reason why I do what I do. To bring a moment of joy into peoples lives, which will hopefully flow on and into the world making it a better place, one image at a time"

Those are very reasonable goals. I would definitely find side hits to practice 180's and 360's, so if you fall it won't hurt. 3's take practice and a bunch of falls but you'll get em. As for jibs, boxes are your best bet to start. Boardsliding is a sweet fun trick and fairly easy to learn, fronside or backside.
The best way to progress in park (in my opinion) is to find a friend around your skill level and play them in a game of SNOW or "Game in your face". Everytime I play I always learn something new and it's a blast.
Good luck!
Have a nice big popper ollie.
I am not in the park much, but many park features are off the ground and don't have ride on run ways. The ollie is very fundamental in park and general freestyle riding. Having a strong ollie is very helpful.
Congrats on landing your first jump in the park.
Videos used for coaching like Snowboard Addiction's can help you with nuances that will make your progression much more rapid and help you learn the correct way so you look stylish. Remember the coolest spins and jumps are those that look effortless versus those that look like they are being muscled around.
Also listen up to the good folks on here that have a lot of knowledge.
Lastly, since you are new to the park, don't forget the proper park etiquette regardless of the lack that other may have...set an example for others.
I'm not park rat (except this year). But I would start off with some straight airs, and try some basic grabs. I learned the 4 basic 180s on the hill before I took them to jumps and side hits. For me it was much easier to pop a 180 going sideways along a run then off a jump.
As for boxes and rails, being able to hit the ride on rails and boxes is a good start. I am a beginner though when it comes to rails, spent my time in the park last year on mostly jumps (3rd season riding)
|I'd say that sounds like pretty reasonable and attainable goals for a park beginner.
What are some reasonable goals for a beginner freestylist to hit by season's end?
I've been boarding for about 4 years and can shred the slopes pretty fast, but I just hit the park for the first time this season and just landed a jump for the first time yesterday. Needless to say I'm pretty stoked. Been doing a bunch of research on freestyle riding and copying & pasting all the best info I can find to study up on everytime before I hit the slopes. I say this to illustrate that I'm pretty serious about progressing and won't be half assing this. With that in mind, I ride about 1-2, sometimes 3, times a week and plan on spending half the day shredding and half the day in the park from now on and I'm wondering what type of progression I can expect to make by season's end? I was thinking aiming on landing 180s and 360s with some basic grabs, riding switch naturally, and doing some cool tricks on boxes could be good goals.. But I don't know whether I'm over or undershooting there. I'm likely going to avoid rails for now because I just don't feel like the risk is worth the reward, especially for a beginner.
What do you all think?

Contact dermatitis is caused by a substance you're exposed to that irritates your skin or triggers an allergic reaction. The substance could be one of thousands of known allergens and irritants. Some of these substances may cause both irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis.
Irritant contact dermatitis is the most common type. This nonallergic inflammatory reaction occurs when a substance damages your skin's outer protective layer.
Some people react to strong irritants after a single exposure. Others may develop signs and symptoms after repeated exposures to even mild irritants. And some people develop a tolerance to the substance over time.
Common irritants include:
Allergic contact dermatitis occurs when a substance to which you're sensitive (allergen) triggers an immune reaction in your skin. It usually affects only the area that came into contact with the allergen. But it may be triggered by something that enters your body through foods, flavorings, medicine, or medical or dental procedures (systemic contact dermatitis).
You may become sensitized to a strong allergen such as poison ivy after a single exposure. Weaker allergens may require multiple exposures over several years to trigger an allergy. Once you develop an allergy to a substance, even a small amount of it can cause a reaction.
Common allergens include:
The rate of allergic contact dermatitis in children is similar to that in adults. Children develop the condition from the usual offenders and also from exposure to car seats, the plastic in toilet seats and infant clothing snaps.
Occupational contact dermatitis refers to rashes resulting from exposure to allergens or irritants on the job. Certain occupations and hobbies put you at higher risk of this type of contact dermatitis. Examples include:

|.... and back to the bodily functions part of this thread... the little grey shack to the left of the small striped awning on the road and next to the Hogpen dock in TB's middle picture is a public restroom.
Made a quick search of aerials and came up with these, first one of which shows how narrow the channel is, leading to Hogpen . . . (off the screen)
This one shows the few moorings off the marina:
The several small ponds which connect can be seen here:
We tried approaching hogpen when all moorings were filled last summer and high winds were expected. I was reluctant to go very far, since the dredged channel is VERY narrow and shoals quickly to very shallow depths to each side and we draw 5'-2". Once you're in the cove though, there's plenty of 8-10 ft water.
Lucked out and got a mooring just off the BI Boat Basin - excellent spot, which I would recommend. Like I mentioned above, there should be plenty of moorings in GSP in early May.
We take our kayaks into the creek that continues beyond hogpen - flows past 4 or 5 moorings, the smallish HogPen Marina - which is definitely powerboat oriented, under a road bridge and winds seemingly for miles, opening up into wider ponds. If you get a chance to do it, you'll be sure to make it a seasonal tradition - even if it's just on your motorized dink.
Wherever you end up, you're sure to have a great time.
I know where Hogpen is as Christy describes. Its a great place if you can get a spot there. You are right next to the road that gets you into and out of the New Harbor and there are a few great restaurants right along that road. If your moooring in that area - you are literally a few hundred feet away from where you can get onto land (not sure if they have a public dingy dock there - there is one just west of Paynes).
Good luck and have fun!
|The 'Hogpen' is a separate little marina at least 1/8 mile inland from Payne's docks. Its right along the road that leads from Paynes and all the other marinas in the GSP towards town. Yes... would be the best place on BI in a storm as it is basically a little pond well inland protected from waves and even mostly protected from wind. I've only noticed a few mooring balls in there (I think) over the years and I don't know if it is associated with Paynes or not..... so I don't know who you would contact.
when referring to the hogpen I meant the bay in there...atleast thats how I read the cruising guide
there are usually a few fishing boats in there on moorings, not sure if there would be sufficient room
read your cruising guide and tell me what you make of it
it says something like "its the best place to be in a blow"
it clearly wasn't referring to the marina so I assumed they meant the mouth of trim pond. the chart has a 10' sounding
|The Hogpen is pretty much power boats only. I've never seen a transient cruising sailboat in there. Get a town mooring or a slip in one of the marinas.
I went to Block Island last year for the first time on my 25' sloop and also just had a small sani poti - no real holding tank. I am sure the pump out boat could do it for you but what I did was just detach the holding tank part of the sani poti and brought it in on the dink and emptied it out in the porta johns they have all around the marinas. I only had to do it once and it was very clean and easy to do. We also just anchored out in the Great Salt Pont because we were there last year in the height of the season and it was pretty busy. Unless you have a lot of rode, anchor to the sides of the harbor because the Great Salt Pond is very deep in the middle and usually the larger boats anchor up in the middle.
Now that I have a new, bigger boat I can't wait to get back to Block this year. I'm planning on going end of August. Have fun on your trip!
Contact those marinas for pump out :
In Great Salt Pond:
Champlin's Marina: Ch 68 or 401-466-7777
BI Boat Basin: Ch 9 or 401-466-2631
Payne's New Harbor Dock: No VHF call 401-466-5572
On the East shore:
Old Harbor Dock: Ch 12 or 401-466-3235
Ballard's Inn: Ch16 or 401-466-2231
Let me know if you'd need more information about the mooring and anchorage areas and nav aids... I don't live there, but I've been there with my sailboat, which has a porta potty, and powerboat, which has a full head system. If you can use the shore services, you'd not need the use the porta potty. However, for over nights on mooring or anchor, just contact them and let them know that you are coming. They are really helpful. But I wouldn't trust the shore hands on East shore, since they were not so experienced last summer.
I'd recommend you to call the places in advance to ask any specific questions you may have.
I hope that helps.
You may be wise to call ahead. The GSP Harbor Dept Pump-out boat can be reached at: 401-466-3204. Personally, I've never gone this early in the season - so can't help you with the schedule.
We've also always anchored or rented moorings in GSP on our boats with holding tanks. The pump-out boat, if running in early May, is a free service and should be able to empty your porta-potti by using a lower pump pressure.
Just east of Paynes is a good anchorage since it's a closer trip to shore - but watch the depth there. Personally, given the availability of plenty of moorings then and if only spending a couple nights, I would op to pick one up.

A User's Guide to the Top End
Jan 18, 2013 , 4:53 PM by Vicki Kerrigan
You are brilliant! Thanks so much for compiling a "User's Guide to the Top End" for the newbies. We live in a very transient place, it is also one of the most unique places in the world, so it's nice to share a few tips with the new kids in town.
Anthony arrived about a month ago, take a listen to the weirdest piece of advice he has received.
Check out the list below and feel free to share it with the new arrivals. My tip is: buy a BIG fridge, the pantry is useless, alll food stuffs go in the fridge. Also, ladies, put your makeup and perfume in the fridge, otherwise the former goes bad and the latter goes off. Charlie King, from ABC Grandstand and a born and bred Territorian offered this tip: when the wind comes from the west, the monsoon is coming.
And new arrival Simon shared some advice that was delivered to him.
Cathryn: Louvres work best when they're open fully. And you can take them out completely in the dry season.
Mark: Don't assume the 'lunch position' next to floodplain waterholes...
Chris: Buy a good pair of thongs for going out.
Clint: never smile at a crocodile.....
Toni: DO NOT throw out your glass of wine when a fly lands in it. Just fish it out and keep drinking.
Lynne: Soon as $ comes in be prepared for it to go out just as fast..
Jill: Told in 1975 When in pain catch a plane
Joy: Don't laugh when asked if you want ice in your white wine. You will then be forced to ask for it after 5 mins when your wine is lukewarm.
Bryan: Lunch at any take away will require a redback ,not a 10 spot.
Emma: Trevor Truscott Learn to embrace fireworks
Peter: Everyone sweats........not just the horses!
Susan: Chilled red wine ,freeze left over carcasses or get used to maggots in the bin ! Keep old towels in the car for wet season and/ or picking up sweaty kids from sport phew....
Kathy: Drink lots and lots of water or be prepared for the pain of kidney stones.
Jill: Kinang BAD foot odour WONT deter crocs.
Bill: I liked what a caller said, "If people are tooting at you, it's not road rage but most likely someone you know." (if only...)
Lee: If your beer is to hot cool it down with a bit of milk
David: I thought crotch or jock rot was about fungus around the genitals in this hot humid weather in our so called wet season. It is about cleaniless.
Wam: Spot on David but there is nothing like a teenager's trainers at the end of February? Those favourite socks would make pepe le phew blush!
Phill: free ball with lots of baby power
Susan: 3 shower days , 3 loads of laundry a day ,and embrace the dust and cobwebs - u ain't got time for that ,while u enjoying a wine in the pool /spa
Danielle: ants, ants and more ants

if you want to go to the art gallery - ask people where the museum is; old time darwin residents don't seem to have heard about the gallery - they all know the museum tho'!

Water Development Bill Stalled in Legislature
As the Texas Legislature begins to approach its mandatory adjournment on May 29, the most important bill in the session, and what many people believe is the most important bill to face lawmakers in decades, the bill designed to raise money to find and exploit new water sources, is stalled with no momentum toward passage, 1200 WOAI news reports.
J. Bruce Bugg, who heads the Governor's Economic Development Corporation, says a failure to reach agreement on a water bill would deal a death blow to the state's economy.
"This is a Texas issue, and it is a Texas issue of absolute and vital importance to San Antonio and South Texas," Bugg said.
Governor Perry proposed taking $2 billion from the state's 'Rainy Day Fund,' to provide the Texas Water Development Board with seed money to make revolving loans to local water agencies, like the San Antonio Water System, to develop water projects ranging from new dams and reservoirs, to pipelines bringing water in from east Texas, to new solutions like removing the slat from brackish underground aquifer water to make it drinkable.
But there was strong opposition to the proposal from the start. Environmentalists first complained that the proposal was too heavy on creation of new projects, and they demanded that 50% of that money go to water conservation projects.
Then Tea Party Republicans said they oppose the use of any money from the Rainy Day Fund, saying the fund is for emergencies like hurricanes, to make sure Texas, in their words, isn't 'standing there with it's hand out, like New Jersey following Hurricane Sandy, waiting for the federal government to come to their rescue.'
Then Democrats, especially in the House, piled on, demanding that an equal amount of money be taken from the Rainy Day Fund for education and social programs. Democrats are still smarting that Perry refused to tap the Rainy Day Fund back in 2011 to avoid major cuts to public schools during the 'recession session.'
Due largely to all this opposition, House Bill 11, the water bill, was among the measures that died on the 'Witching Hour' Thursday at midnight.
The Rainy Day Fund is replenished by money from oil and gas royalies, and due to the booming Eagle Ford, is expected to have more than $11 billion in it by the time the current budget biennium ends in August of 2015.
Now Bugg says it is critical that the Legislature act to revive the measure and pass it before Sine Die two weeks from Wednesday.
"You figure out from the Texas Legislative point of view, but take action now," Bugg said. "Increase our water supply."

Helen and I were down to London to see my GI surgeon and it was decided to immediately have surgery for my stomach problems. I'll be admitted tomorrow afternoon and have the surgery Sunday. Hopefully this should fix my problems. My digestive system has completely shut down finally and this needs to be done ASAP.
The doctor figures that the passage to the intestine is blocked by radiation damage during the treatment for the bile duct cancer tumor that was treated. Life is good. Time to heal.
I've had a blockage problem at the exit from the stomach to the intestine ever since the transplant was done. It steadily grew a little worse each month until it finally became unbearable, and to the point where a gastric bypass that entails a loop of intestine from the stomach to the intestine needs to be built. The liver and the pancreas need to be re-aligned also so its not an easy task. Finally I'll get the relief I require from this little nightmare!
I'll see you in a few weeks.
Raye......Good luck tomorrow. I can't wait to hear that you were able to finally enjoy a great meal again. I will be thinking of you and, as always....tons of hugs are coming your way.

Hello there. Long time viewer of TDH and some other prop/costume forums. A fan of all things SW since infancy and am now embracing a mid-life crisis focused pretty much on the same!
I've slowly built up some half-finished props and projects over the past 18 month. Tried my hand at pepakura with some disastrous (comical) results and have achieved very little in terms of my own work following a house move and the birth of my own Padawan!
I have some excellent pieces (helmets/masks) on order from some talented builders/artists and am now thinking I may concentrate on putting a couple of costumes together. Not necessarily to troop in or anything, more likely for life-sized models/mannequins to make my office a little more exciting.
I'm happy to have a crack at things, buy materials, plans, instructions or whatever and I'm looking forward to hopefully taking my "what if", half-interested hobby forward into something a little more fulfilling.
I'll post in the correct forums on my project thoughts but if anyone has any pointers for Darth Revan rigid costume parts I'd be grateful. I have searched a lot but all I see are other people's amazing end-products!
Best wishes

Dell Insprion 620/Vostro 260 NO Bios Setting for AHCI
Interestingly I could not even update the bios without the INTEL Management Drivers.
Checking in the Device manager the machine is using the ATA drivers not the AHCI drivers
AND the INTEL RST drivers will not install.
Why is that?
I did try updating to Bios version A04 but this made no difference.

I did some research and found out that the chipset in this system, the H61, simply doesn't support AHCI or RAID. There's no way to enable either for a reason. :(
Wish I had known this. The value of this system just really went down the tube if you intend to throw an SSD in there.
Never even thought of that.

Great Thanxs for all of you!
Especially for ErwanLeBihan, PippoX0 and Slikkster!!!
I got AHCI running on a "Inspiron 620 (Mid 2011)" and Win7 64Bit, and it works perfect up to now!
I'm patched myself the latest original Dell Bios, which comes as a download named "MS-A10.exe"
I want to give a short wrap up of this huge thread, with the information which was useful for me and took me a while to get it. Also the verification for Bios version A10. All information is already spreaded in this thread. So if you don't understand any step, you have to read the whole thread.
The patch is no real functional change. It just makes "hidden menus" accessible in the standard bios menu of your PC. The menu is obviously deactivated by Dell, because they presumably do not want to guarantee that it works a 100%. It was probably not tested when they put this PC model on the market in 2011.
To compare your changes you can download my patched Bios:
If you use this file the risk is up to you!!!
By, and another Thanks to the guys who figured out this!
The manual shows AHCI enabled by default. "SATA Mode — AHCI; RAID (AHCI by default)"
Please post back and let me know if you need more help.
The manual shows AHCI enabled by default. "SATA Mode — AHCI; RAID (AHCI by default)"
Ok I found it listed Under system configuration in the manual. This option DOES NOT EXIST in an actual Inspiron 620 F2 CMOS MENU.
The bios is FORCED TO ATAPI By Default AND Has no RAID OR AHCI modes under ADVANCED, SYSTEM CONFIGURATION.
The Drivers in device manager are the ATAPI aka non AHCI drivers.
My SSD Firmware LIVE Linux Update CD also says the drives are in ATA not AHCI mode. (This means its BIOS not Registry or Driver)
Microsoft AHCI.SYS is not loading or installing nor is the INTEL RST driver.

I'm kind of not surprised. Yet another reason to avoid the Inspiron desktop models.
I also ran into this issue. Dell please fix this in the BIOS! One, the documentation says the default is AHCI, but in reality the default is ATA. Second, this setting is not configurable by the user. C'mon this is basic stuff here....
I also ran into this issue. Dell please fix this in the BIOS! Bios Upgrade is needed ! AHCI is very important for Windows7 OS . Speed improvement on HDD when SATA AHCI is enabled !!!
Hi All.
I recently purchased a 620MT and having the same problem - not able to turn AHCI on and not getting the performance expected. I have an SSD I want to use but don't get anywhere near the performance AHCI would give. - I have tried it.
Has anyone got a workaround for this? Is there a better motherboard that would fit straight in, or would I be able to add a PCI-E card, attach the SSD to that card and boot from there? I'd even be happy to buy a decent motherboard if it'll fit in the case.
Dell need to address this for us, using a motherboard without AHCI these days is crazy. I wouldn't have bought the machine if I knew about this issue.
Very dissapointed in DELL.
Yes, Dell, please fix this problem!!
There is a PCI-E card that you can boot from. Apricorn Velocity Solo Storage controller.
SKU 587550Mfr Part #:VEL-SOLOUPC: 708326913027
The Velocity Solo is an industry standard PCIe 2.0 card designed to add a 2.5" Solid State Drive (SSD) via a SATA III connection.
NOTE: Solid State Drive sold separately.
Apricorn Velocity Solo Solid State Drive (SSD) Upgrade Kit for Desktop Computers
In fact, the H61 chipset is perfectly capable of doing AHCI. It's a Dell Decision to put the H61 chipset in IDE Compatible Mode.
Here's how you can enable it:
- grab the latest bios. (.exe) from dell support.
- launch the .exe and do not close the flash windows app. Grab all the file from the %TEMP%\randomname subfolder
- Get AmiBcp tool.
- Load MS-Axx.bin from within AmiBCP. Modify the entry to make the SATA menu available (change from default to USER)
- Flash.
- Enjoy.

Hi ErwanLeBihan,
Can you post some pics to prove new function of unlocked AHCI .... ?I downloaded A04 Bios for Inspiron 620S and i patched it,as you have suggested, but i want to be sure that it doesn't brick my pc, before to flash itThanxPippoX0
In fact, All I can say is that the version i've uploaded at dl.free.fr is working on the Vostro 260.
I think it's the same mainboard as the inspiron620, as the inspiron 620 string is also in the bios file.
You get AHCI for sure: Windows Detects the SATA controler as an Intel ICH SATA AHCI controler.
MSAHCI service is enabled during setup.
(BTW, if you make this mod on an existing windows install, don't forget to enable MSAHCI service (Start 3=>0) before as it will be needed by Windows to boot, or you will get a usual BSOD (unmountable boot volume).
Ok, i have patched A04 Bios for DELL Inspiron 620S and i get AHCI option enabled ...
Now the harder part, i'm looking for AHCI driver for windows XP ...
Original A04 Bios http://dell.to/HTcVvX
Patched one here http://www.sendspace.com/file/je91vr
For AHCI Driver: Simple: Either use an XP SP2/SP3 CD Disk or use (F6) the intel ICH10 SATA AHCI Driver.
Then, install Intel RST.
BTW, you can also enable Multi Graphics IGD in the bios....It works !
