"This banana bread recipe is the BEST. I would highly recommend using this for muffins especially. Also, I use less than 3/4 cup of sugar and 5 bananas, and it's still super sweet. So feel free to use less sugar!
Thanks for sharing! This is a keeper!"
"Obviously, a great recipe, which I am currently making.
Anyway, stirring 15-20 minutes after cooled is way too long and will result in overly crumbly fudge. I only stir for about 4-5 minutes before pouring it into a dish. Beautiful every time."
"Excellent recipe. BE SURE to skin the tomatoes first, which is so easy to do. Look it up on Youtube. Also, VERY important to know: WEAR LATEX OR RUBBER GLOVES WHEN CHOPPING THE JALAPENO PEPPERS! Although it may seem like common sense, I never made salsa before and didn't think to protect my hands when chopping peppers. Huge mistake and dumb, ..."

Revisionist Education – Dog Help Us
I thought Church and State were separated long ago. Apparently Texas hasn't received that message.
This article in the Toronto Star has me concerned about the liberties taken by the curriculum writers of education.
"Farewell, Thomas Jefferson. Sayonara, Snoop Dogg, Wu-Tang Clan, and 50 Cent. Adios, Cesar Chavez. And a big welcome-back hug to Phyllis Schlafly, Newt Gingrich, and the ghosts of Stonewall Jackson and Joseph McCarthy."
The Texas Board of Education has been given preliminary approval to more than 100 controversial and ideologically driven amendments to state curriculum standards. We're not talking about things like 2+2 = 4 or proper nouns should always be capitalized. We're talking about changing history and social studies to make it like things never happened. Or at the very least making less of a fuss about the people and events, almost in an effort or hope that people will forget about it. What kind of a message is this teaching our children? If you don't like what happened, you can change it?! That's not how it works, once it's happened, it's well, happened. Change can only happen in a forward motion, not backward. Or am I just naive when I think of it that way.
Among the points with these changes that bother me the most are:
Darwin's Theory of Evolution – the changes take this completely out of the science curriculum. Now I have my religious beliefs, but along side of those beliefs I truly believe in the Theory of Evolution. I completed my degree in Anthropology and I find it hard to dispute what science has shown to be true. This newly written curriculum will state that humans have existed for only 6,000 years, for example, or that they were created in their present form by God, or that they once shared the earth with dinosaurs. I find this very funny when the Bible itself gives an answer to this whole calendar/timeline debate: "But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day." 2 Peter 3:8 Using this scripture alone means that humans have been on the earth for 6 million years, using their own proof and explanations.
Of course two of the biggest problems I have with dropping the Theory of Evolution are completely centred on education. What happens to those students when they write standardized tests, they haven't covered this section of the American curriculum because it doesn't exist to them, but it will surely be on the test. Also, what happens when these students get to university and are all of a sudden faced with the science of evolution, something that they have not seen up to this point. Not really setting the students up for success now are they?!
Latinos Don't Matter – That's pretty much what the new curriculum will be teaching the students. Funny considering this is a state whose population is 36.5 per cent Latino. Almost 40% of you just don't seem to matter very much any more. Why do I say this? Because references to Latino heroes are to be played down. They just aren't as important as they used to be. Sorry, but you just count in the history of the States or Texas. Pretty sad isn't it?
Thomas Jefferson, who? - Some important figures are being downgraded in this new curriculum too. Although Thomas Jefferson was a Founding Father of the United States his role is going to be downplayed because his beliefs then fly in the face of what conservation leaders now. Heaven forbid, he wanted the division between religion and politics. How dare he make such a suggestion?
Sure the public will have 30 days in which to comment on the revisions. Do I really think it will make a difference? Not from the sounds of it.
Perhaps my favourite quote in the article is this: "I disagree with these experts," said Don McLeroy, a dentist, who heads the conservative bloc on the Texas board. "Somebody's got to stand up to experts that are just … I think, I don't know why they're doing it. They're wonderful people."
I don't know why they're doing it?! Educate yourself, find out why. Don't just think they are wrong. They're wonderful people?! What the hell does that mean? And this is an elected official. Perhaps this explains why the changes are going on in Texas, the government themselves don't have any idea what they are talking about.
During its deliberations, the Texas board consulted no historians, sociologists, or economists. Just how did they come up with these changes if they didn't consult anyone? I think the sky is brown, can I change the science curriculum to reflect that? I haven't checked with anyone, but I think it's true, so it must be, right?
It just scares me how a group of politicians (and educators) can completely change how they want history to be portrayed because it doesn't meet with their religious ideals. Isn't this what has been going on through some of the most war torn places – Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan. Maybe that is a stretch, but I don't really think so when you consider the fact that the United States is supposed to be a progressive nation, will to accept all. Or does the Statue of Liberty have it completely wrong?!

World oil supply fell 400,000 bpd in August to 85.8 million bpd, due to decreased output from Iran, Saudi Arabia and the North Sea. This comes after IEA revised July's oil supply upward by 730,000 bpd, reflecting higher OPEC, North Sea and FSU output. In September, oil prices hit a five-month low at less than $70/bbl, while gas prices decreased by over 30%. IEA predicts that global crude will become heavier and sweeter between now and 2011. As Argentina faces its ninth year of declining oil production, concerns abound that the country will become a net oil importer. In first-half 2006, Argentina's oil exports fell 59%. The World Rig Forecast – Short Term Trends predicts that despite new and reactivated rigs joining the fleet, worldwide offshore rig demand will continue to exceed supply over the next year, while current utilization hovers around 93%. Overall US rig count is at its highest level since early 1986.

As the United States and its allies attempt to tighten the screws on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) is eager to take advantage of the conflict.
Apart from a few mass casualty attacks on Iraqi Shia pilgrims, AQI has been largely absent from media coverage—at least compared to six years ago, when the terror group captured headlines nearly every day. Yet a degraded terrorist organization does not mean a defeated one, as Iraq's Shia community can attest. Now it appears Al Qaeda's associates in Iraq are trying to branch out into neighboring Syria, where the continuing conflict makes fertile ground for an Al Qaeda franchise.
According to several U.S. intelligence analysts who recently spoke to McClatchy, AQI commanders—with the blessing of Ayman al-Zawahiri himself—are making a desperate attempt to take advantage of Syria's internal unrest by infiltrating the opposition and turning the conflict into another front in the global jihad.
Iraq's deputy interior minister, Adnan al-Assadi, supported this claim with his own assessment in AFP. "We have intelligence information that a number of Iraqi jihadists went to Syria."
All of these remarks, while not incontrovertible evidence, should nevertheless be taken seriously, for Al Qaeda continues to prove that it can be versatile and adaptive when backed into a corner. Just ask the interim leaders of Yemen and Libya, where the organization is either consolidating its control over territory (Yemen) or is seeking to influence the post-conflict transition (Libya).
With Ayman al-Zawahiri's latest announcement of support for the anti-Assad opposition, we may very well be witnessing yet another attempt by Al Qaeda to exploit a significant chapter of Arab history for its own purposes.
Daniel R. DePetris is an intern in foreign and defense policy at AEI.

Boston bombing family possibly collected $100,000 taxpayer money in public assistance
BOSTON -- $100,000. That's the amount of money taxpayers may have forked over in public assistance to support the accused Boston bombers and their parents.
The Boston Herald reports benefits for the Tsarnaev brothers and their parents included such things as cash, food stamps and Section 8 Housing over a decade from 2002 to 2012.
The new details are part of 500 documents handed over to a Massachusetts State Committee investigating the amount of benefits the Tsarnaev family received.
It's not clear whether any taxpayer dollars helped support the actual bombing.

This was the year when Colorado's longest-running scandals got new legs. At the start of 2005, who would have predicted that the University of Colorado's troubles were just beginning? But as it turned out, football-recruiting scandals and Chaucerian interpretations of the word "cunt" couldn't hold a candle to the tempest in a tepee that was Ward Churchill. And at the end of 2005, we were even treated to a surprise guest appearance by Jumpin' Joe Nacchio, who'd returned to town from his cushy New Jersey exile to answer to 42 federal counts of alleged insider trading at Qwest.
In the months between, everyone was minding someone else's business -- and making a lot less money doing it than Nacchio had. The Denver Police Department refused to hand over yet another batch of "spy files," including their surveillance of a Denver couple whose suspicious behavior consisted primarily of watching the cops' suspicious behavior. The FBI was caught spying on a hippie-kid collective whose primary mission was fixing up old bikes. And three locals -- now known internationally as the Denver Three -- were tossed out of President George W. Bush's public town-hall meeting on Social Security reform in March by a still-unknown figure who took offense at a bumpersticker on their car and has been identified only as a "White House host committee staffer." And definitely an idiot.
But most of the bad behavior this year was no secret. It was shameful, it was public, and it was all ours -- until it went national. This place is a dump!
Bob Dougherty
Look out below! In November, Colorado became the butt of the joke when 57-year-old Bob Dougherty of Nederland went public with his very personal trauma.
In October 2003, suffering from a "sour stomach" and desperate to take a load off, Dougherty had rushed into the restroom at a Home Depot in Louisville. Finding the toilet-seat-cover dispenser empty and without a moment to waste, he sat right down -- and discovered he couldn't get up. Someone had covered the toilet seat with a fast-drying glue, which quickly adhered to Dougherty's rear -- and wouldn't let go.
When Dougherty cried for help, store staffers thought it was a prank. "They just let me rot," he complained. But now the joke's on Home Depot, because Dougherty has filed suit against the company and is looking for up to $3 million to assuage his hurt and humiliation -- which included paramedics having to unbolt the seat from the toilet and carry it out still attached to Dougherty as they transported him to the hospital. At one point, paramedics couldn't find a pulse; Dougherty, who already had a bad ticker, claims to be suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome.
But at least Home Depot didn't accuse him of shoplifting the toilet seat, as it did when a carpenter in Massachusetts mistakenly pocketed a pencil.
Dougherty's rear-guard action made him big national news. "I knew I'd find some way out of this mess," he told Katie Couric. "Males are problem-solvers. You know us guys, we don't need a road map."
No, but one might come in handy the next time you need to swab down a toilet seat.
Michael Brown
Before August 29, few people had heard of Michael Brown, a lawyer with friends in very high places. Five years before, Brown had been thrown from his cushy job as commissioner of judges and commissioners at the Colorado-based International Arabian Horse Association, and fell upward to a job as legal counsel with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, then headed by Brown buddy Joe Allbaugh, who'd run George Bush's 2000 re-election campaign. After Allbaugh moved on -- to run a consulting company -- Brown moved up again and became head of FEMA himself. Which was where he was when Katrina hit, come hell and a lot of high water.
Sure, Mother Nature was a bitch this year -- but Brown didn't even put up a fight. While the levees overflowed, he chatted via e-mail with an aide. "Can I quit now? Can I go home?" he asked, as hundreds of thousands of people were losing their own homes. He wrote about finding a pet-sitter, about his on-camera wardrobe choices. "If you'll look at my lovely FEMA attire, you'll really vomit," he wrote about an hour later. "I am a fashion god."
Bush apparently liked that blue Nordstrom number, because on September 2 -- at the height of the flooding -- he assured his appointee, "Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job."
Ten days later, Brownie was out of that job.
He now plans to start a Colorado-based business, specializing in crisis consulting and managing disasters.
Takes one to know one.
Silvia Johnson
For over a year, Silvia Johnson had been the most desperate housewife in Arvada, holding countless parties in her home on a suburban cul-de-sac for students from Arvada High School, which her oldest child attended, and where the party favors included alcohol, marijuana and methamphetamine. And, in the case of a half-dozen males ranging in age from fifteen to seventeen, sometimes sex with the hostess herself.

Christian Johan Huibers has created a replica of the biblical Noah's Ark. Although the enormous construction is fully functional and stretches out two-thirds the length of a football field, it is still five times smaller than the original ark.
The ark construction welcomes visitors, and houses life-size models of giraffes, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras other animals.
Wouldn't it be cool if the replica of Noah's Ark was an actual zoo?

Trans-cultural Business Failure: Wal-Mart Exits Germany
I have lived in USA where I shopped, studied and observed Wal-Mart's business operations. And the news came to me as no surprise. Back in 2003 I had posted a presentation on why Wal-Mart will find it tough to succeed in India. The recent news validated my observation that Wal-Mart's cultural insensitivity led to its failure in Germany. (The same mistake is being repeated by Wal-Mart in Korea, Japan, China and Mexico)
History of Wal-Mart in Germany
Wal-Mart started with an aggressive global expansion strategy. In 1997, Wal-Mart bought Wertkauf, a leading retail chain. Later it acquired Interspar in 1998. Wal-Mart wanted to jump-start its European presence. In UK, Wal-Mart purchased ASDA, and started talks to buy the German retailing giant Metro. ( Wal-Mart could not acquire Metro - as Metro board rejected the idea. ASDA was acquired by Wal-Mart and is the second largest retailer in the U.K)
Wal-Mart's Mistakes
The fundamental problem with Wal-Mart's global expansion plans lies with its core advantages - a fully owned distribution network, standardized store layouts, warm & welcoming employees who greet customers, and standardized ERP systems. These factors enabled Wal-Mart to succeed in United States - but these factors can become a major disadvantage while operating abroad.
Firstly, Wal-Mart is not experienced in the game of acquisitions and mergers. Wal-Mart was built ground up in the USA and Canada. The lack of managerial skills needed to bring out the related synergy between itself and Wertkauf led to employee frustration. Moreover, the top management refused to acknowledge the differences in customer behavior in Germany when compared to its US customers, and the top management failed to listen to the feedback from its employees.
Wal-Mart stores are designed for customers who are willing to spend lot of time shopping. But in Germany, the shopping hours are shorter: Shops close by 5 PM on weekdays, and no shopping on Sundays. This meant that customers don't have the habit of spending lots of time in a store - wandering around for the things they need. Coupled with this problem, German customers do not like to be assisted by Wal-Mart's friendly store assistants. Germans prefer to do their own search for bargains.
Wal-Mart got its store merchandising wrong: Germans like to see the advertised discount products upfront - without having to ask the store assistant. This implies that the discount products must be placed at the eye level. Instead Wal-Mart chose to use its US style merchandise display strategy - where premium priced products are kept at eye level and discount products are kept at higher shelf or in the bottom racks. This irritated the German shoppers. Wal-Mart also got its store inventory wrong, Wal-Mart stocked its store with clothes, hardware, electronics and other non-food products were given much bigger floor space than food products, as a result more than 50% of the revenue was from non-food products. But other German retailers stock more of food products. For example for Metro, food products constitute more than 75% of the revenue.
Wal-Mart also failed to achieve the required economies of scale. To implement its US style hypermarkets, Wal-Mart invested in a robust distribution system with three warehouses and logistics centers - this implied higher cost. To be efficient Wal-Mart needed about 400+ stores, but it had only 85 stores.
The biggest mistake of Wal-Mart was to ignore the local culture, local buying habits and impose an American boss on its German operations. The first head of German operations was an expat from the USA - who did not understand Germany or its culture and insisted that all business operations be carried out in English language. I have not met him in person or even interacted with him - but from what I hear and understand, it is clear to me that the cultural insensitivity started right at the top.
Closing Thoughts
Cross-border, Cross-cultural business is a challenge even for the biggest companies. Companies have to be sensitive to the local cultures and tailor their offerings to local market. To localize their offerings, companies must carry out cultural assessment before acquisitions, maintain an ongoing cultural assessment of its foreign operations. This will help companies measure the effectiveness of its localization efforts and make adequate changes in local strategy & tactics.
The Wal-Mart example tells us that even the biggest of the companies are not immune to failures. Companies need to understand the local culture in order to capitalize on the local market.
The lessons learned from Wal-Mart's experience in Germany, Korea and Japan can be applied by other retailers who are planning on expanding in India & China. Large retail chains such as Tesco, Metro, Carrefour, Home Depot, etc., have to be very careful when they plan to invest in countries outside their home markets. Indian market offers tremendous opportunities for these organized retailers - but it also comes with tremendous challenges. Indian consumers have deep rooted cultural biases which must be understood and overcome in order to succeed in India.

Pancreatic: Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chances of developing cancer.
It is possible to develop pancreatic cancer with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing pancreatic cancer. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk factors for pancreatic cancer include the following:
Most cases of pancreatic cancer (about 85%) occur in people over the age of fifty. The average age at diagnosis is 65.
Chronic consumption of alcohol increases the risk of pancreatic cancer.
Chemical Exposure
Some studies suggest that occupational exposure to certain chemicals may increase your risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Chemicals that seem to be particularly associated with pancreatic cancer include those used in the petroleum and dry-cleaning industries, pesticides, and dyes.
Although some research has shown that people with diabetes have a two to three fold increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer, this finding is still under investigation.
A diet that is low in fiber and high in fat may increase your risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Obesity also increases your risk.
Family History of Cancer
Some families seem to have a genetic predisposition to develop certain types of cancer, including pancreatic cancer. If your mother, father, brother, or sister has had pancreatic cancer, you are three times as likely to develop the disease yourself. The presence of colon or ovarian cancer within your family also increases your risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
Genetic Factors
About 10% of pancreatic cancers are due to hereditary factors. The following hereditary conditions increase the risk of pancreatic cancer:
- Cystic fibrosis
- Familial multiple mole melanoma syndrome
- Peutz-Jeghers syndrome
- Non-polyposis colorectal cancer syndrome
- Familial breast cancer syndrome
- Hereditary pancreatitis
History of Chronic Pancreatitis
If you've suffered from chronic pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas, you may have an increased chance of developing pancreatic cancer.
History of Gastric Resection
If you have a gastric resection in the past, your chance of developing pancreatic cancer is increased two to three fold.
Male Gender
Men are about twice as likely as women to develop pancreatic cancer.
Obesity, especially morbid obesity, increased the risk of pancreatic cancer.
Pernicious Anemia
If you suffer from pernicious anemia, your chance of developing pancreatic cancer increases.
African Americans have a greater risk—30%-40%—of developing pancreatic cancer than Caucasians. People of Hispanic origin or Asian Americans are less commonly affected.
Smoking and using smokeless tobacco (eg, chewing tobacco) is a clear risk factor for the development of pancreatic cancer. If you are a smoker, you are about three to four times as likely as a nonsmoker to develop this disease.

Does anyone know how fragrant these can be? Are they anything to write home about? Or would some of these supposedly fragrant cutilvars/strains just be mildly fragrant?

I've never come across a scented A. obesum, good or bad, just no scent at all, but there might be some fragrant varieties. I really don't know. |

I have never smelled one that had much fragrance. And from what I've read, the most fragrant ones are only mildly fragrant. |
- Posted by SeriousSpecimens none (My Page) on Sat, Sep 8, 12 at 13:02
Fragrant Adeniums can be grown to have more than a mild perfume. Terpenoids are a class of organic chemicals that play a major role in plant fragrance. Carbohydrate rich feeding can help boost terpenoid production, especially with molasses. Kelp and properly made compost tea are also great for boosting fragrance. |

When Cliff Avril walked during free agency to join the Seahawks, the Lions lost a mean dude. Oh, and 9.5 of their 34 total sacks in 2012. Then without Kyle Vanden Bosch too, they lost 3.5 more.
Now they have a freak-ish guy to replace their scary guy. Or something.
After the Eagles secured Lane Johnson with the fourth overall pick while becoming the third team in the top five to select a tackle (try to act surprised…seriously, try), the Lions took Ziggy Ansah, continuing the draft's expected early theme of hunters and protectors.
Ansah is highly athletic off the edge, but he's raw after recording just 4.5 sacks last year at BYU. Still, there's plenty on his tape to indicate exceedingly high upside, and a dominant presence alongside Ndamukong Suh. In a division where pressuring Aaron Rodgers has to happen twice a year and is vital for success, this pick was easy with the top three tackles off the board.

Known by some as "Gadget wood" this has to be such a welcome sight in any woodland.
Its broad rounded serrated leaves should be familiar to most hedgerows and if you don't know its leaves you must know its nuts. A welcome snack if you can get to them before the birds, mice and squirrels.Only just qualifying as a tree, its base or "stool" grows a multitude of stems which if regularly coppiced can keep you supplied for most of your needs for a lifetime.
An important part of any ecosystem, but of particular interest in Devon where it is known to be home to Dormice, lichens and fungus.
As well as its nuts there are uses for most parts of the tree including.........
Well you've been out and cut your stick, saved a few lambs from emasculation and you are all set to do some tracking.
For the start we will concentrate on man tracking. Although once you have the concept in your tracking tool box the theory can be applied to most walking animals. Of course this isn't an all seeing eye or magic pointer there is still a great deal of dirt time necessary to learn to interpret the tracks and see the stories they tell.
You will be using the stick to guide your eye to the next probable imprint. Just the same as Quantum mechanics this is about probabilities. so always consider the "what if ?" factor; your subject may speed up, slow down or take more stealthy evasive action. However as you read the spoor you will come to see that all changes will be shown in the track.
Many a time has my trusty stick got me out of a fix whilst Ive been tracking, and my mentor Max's words still ring in my ears from the day I passed my advanced tracking course and earned my silver feather "trust your stick."
Tracking sticks come in many forms from striped down ski poles and traditional walking staffs to custom made purpose built sticks. However my preference is for a personally made stick. I have found that as years have passed I have developed a bond with my trusty apple wood stick from the day I cut it to the next time I take it tracking. I know I am not alone and every tracker I know will go to great lengths to make sure their stick is close to hand.
The stick is used to estimate the next foot fall in a track whilst also gauging your following the right track, and with a little pimping giving a good idea of direction of travel.

Hymenoptera Family Characters
Tenthridinidae: Diagnostic characters: Antennae threadlike, usually 9 segmented (range 7-10). Forewing with 1 or 2 marginal cells and without intercostal vein. These are very common, often brightly colored sawflies. The mostly predaceous adults are active on flowers and foliage. Most larvae are external leaf feeders, but some are gallers or miners. The family includes the very harmful larch sawfly, Pristiphora erichsonii. Examples: Macremphytus testaceus, a common sawfly from Minnesota. Wings of M. tarsatus, Minnesota. Both species feed on dogwood, Cornus sp.
Cimbicidae: Diagnostic characters: Large bodied, resembling bumble bees. Antennae with 7 or fewer segments and slightly clubbed. Cimbex americana, the elm sawfly, Minnesota. The huge larvae feed on many species of hardwoods, including elm, maple, birch, willow, basswood, etc. Larvae are able to eject a defensive fluid from glands near the spiracles.
Diprionidae: Diagnostic characters: Stout bodied. Antennae with 13 or more segments, usually serrate in female and pectinate in male; forewing with 1 marginal cell. The introduced pine sawfly, Minnesota, Diprion similis, male and female, and wings. Larvae feed on many species of pines and cause economic damage.
Siricidae: Diagnostic characters: Rather large insects. Female with 2 long, slender structures at tip of abdomen. Pronotum (in dorsal view) wider than long, and narrower at the middle than laterally. A large female horntail, Tremex columba, from Minnesota (photo by Jeff Hahn, University of Minnesota) and detail of abdomen showing ovipositor and "horn." Larvae feed as wood borers in maple, beech, oak, and other hardwoods, usually on dead or dying trees. They have been established beyond their native range by transport through the lumber and wood industry.
Braconidae: Diagnostic characters: Like ichneumonds in general appearance, but usually smaller and with shorter abdomen. 1 recurrent m-cu cross vein or m-cu cross vein absent (2nd recurrent vein always
absent). Two species from Minnesota, Cardiochiles viator and Macrocentrus marginator; an endoparasite of Lepidoptera larvae; braconid wing venation. Braconid biology is very diverse and the family includes parasites of Lepidoptera larvae and eggs, wood boring beetle larvae, sawflies, flies, aphids, bugs, and many other orders of holometabolous insects.Ichneumonidae: Diagnostic characters: "Horsehead" cell in forewing; 2 recurrent m-cu cross veins present. Antennae long, usually 16 or more segments. This is a hugely diverse family, perhaps the largest family of insects. The morphological, as well as host diversity and biology, is very large and should not be judged by the few examples given here. Enicospilus purgatus, Minnesota, an endoparasite of Lepidoptera larvae; ichneumonid wing venation (Netelia ocellata, Minnesota, an endoparasite of cutworms).
Pteromalidae: Diagnostic characters: See Dr. John Luhman's summary sheet.
Eulophidae: Diagnostic characters: See Dr. John Luhman's summary sheet.
Encyrtidae: Diagnostic characters: See Dr. John Luhman's summary sheet.
Eurytomidae: Diagnostic characters: See Dr. John Luhman's summary sheet.
Chalcididae: Diagnostic characters: All are small (less than 4 or 5 mm). Hind femora greatly enlarged. Venation greatly reduced (no closed cells in forewing). Usually black and yellow, never metallic. (And see Dr. John Luhman's summary sheet). Conura nigricornis and detail of hind leg and wing venation. Chalcids parasitize Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera; some are hyperparasites (parasites of parasites) of Tachinidae (Diptera) and Ichneumonidae.
Cynipidae: Diagnostic characters: Antennae slender. Wing venation reduced, but not as greatly as in chalcidoids. Abdomen usually oval and shining. Scutellum often oval, elevated. A gall wasp from Minnesota and wing venation. Gall wasps are gall makers or live in the galls of other gall making insects, mostly on oaks or Rosaceae. They have very complex life cycles including parthenogenesis, alternation of sexual and asexual generations, multiple host plants, etc. Alfred C. Kinsey, best known for his work on human sexuality, began his scientific career working on gall wasps and amassed a hugh collection and significal body of work on this family of insects.
Evaniidae: Diagnostic characters: Small abdomen carried like a flag on slender stalk high above coxae (hence common name for the group). Hyptia harpiodes, Minnesota, parasitic on wood roach (Parcoblatta) egg cases (all ensign wasps are parasitic on cockroach egg cases). This is the northern most species in the family in North America.
Gasteruptiidae: Diagnostic characters: Similar to ichneumonids, but head attached by slender neck. Antennae short. Abdomen attached high above hund coxae. Only one recurrent vein in wing. Hind tibiae may be enlarged. A male Gasteruption floridanum. The female is very similar, but with a very long, slender ovipositor. Larvae are predators or predator-inqulines in the nests of solitary bees or wood nesting Sphecidae.
Pelecinidae: Diagnostic characters: Shiny black wasps. Females with very long abdomen; males have shorter, cylindrical abdomen, but are rarely encountered. Pelecinus polyturator, female and male. This is a very widespread species which occurs from Canada into southern South America. In Minnesota, the larvae are parasites of June beetles, Phyllophaga spp., family Scarabaeidae.
Chrysididae: Diagnostic characters: Green or blue-green with pitted thorax. 4-segmented abdomen is concave ventrally; do not sting. Cuckoo wasp larvae are ectoparasites of bee and wasp larvae, although some feed on walkingstick eggs. A cuckoo wasp, Chrysis nitidula, from Minnesota. This species parasitizes vespid wasps that nest in cavities in stems, borings in wood, or abandoned mud cells.
Tiphiidae: Diagnostic characters: Usually black and somewhat hairy. Most have two platelike lobes that extend from the mesosternum over the bases of the middle coxae. Myzium maculata from Minnesota, a parasite of soil inhabiting scarab beetle larvae. View of mesosternum showing platelike lobes. Another species has been imported as a biological control agent of the Japanese beetle.
Scoliidae: Diagnostic characters: Large, hairy. Wing membrane of forewing with numerous wrinkles at apex. May have notch on anterior margin of eye. A large colorful scoliid from Florida, Campsomaris quadrinotatus, an ectoparasite of scarab grubs living in soil. Apex of forewing showing wrinkles. Females burrow in the ground to sting and paralyze a host grub.
Mutillidae: Diagnostic characters: Antlike in appearance. Very hairy and generally brightly colored. Females wingless and males winged. Antennae not elbowed. A female and male of Dasymutilla occidentalis. These specimens are from Louisiana and Florida. The species is a parasite of the bumble bee Bombus fraternus. Most species are ectoparasites of bee and wasp immatures. Females can inflict a painful sting. In the US, they are diverse in the south and arid southwest. Prof. C.E. Mickel, University of Minnesota, was an expert in the group and amassed a large and important collection of mutillids in the university's collection, including many type specimens.
Formicidae: Diagnostic characters: First or first and second abdominal segments node-like or with hump. Antennae of females are elbowed; first segment is long. This is a large, dominant, extremely diverse family of eusocial insects. Their biologies, societies, habitats, diets, etc. are diverse and often complex. The book by Holldobler and Wilson, The Ants, (1990) is the primary reference for the group. A large ant from Brazil.
Pompilidae: Diagnostic characters: Characteristic transverse suture across the mesopleuron. Usually long-legged. Pepsis sp., a huge spider wasp from Brazil that parasitizes tarantulas. Detail of mesopleural sulcus of an undetermined spider wasp from Brazil. Larvae of most species feed on spiders which are captured and paralyzed by the female.
Vespidae: Diagnostic characters: Long first discoidal cell. Wings folded longitudinally (at rest). Eye sometimes notched. The family includes some eusocial species (hornets, paper wasps, yellow jackets, for example), but many others, like the potter wasps, are solitary (not social). Both the social and solitary species feed the larvae or provision the nest with insect prey (or with pollen and nectar in some groups). The bald faced hornet, Vespa maculata, from Minnesota, and detail of face showing notched eye. The eastern yellowjacket, Vespa maculifrons, Minnesota. Vespid forewing showing very long 1M or 1st discoidal cell.
Sphecidae: Diagnostic characters: Often difficult to characterize because of very diverse size, shape and color -- some are threadwaisted and others are vespid-like, but all have pronotum that is short and collar-like, with posteriorly directed rounded lobe. These are solitary wasps (a few rare examples of eusocial species are known) in which the females hunt for arthropod prey to feed the larvae, which are in concealed cavities, mud nests, burrows, hollow plant stems, etc. Examples of a number of species of sphecid wasps: Ammophila harti, Minnesota, preys of hairless lepidoptera larvae. Bembix americana, a sand wasp, Minnesota, preys on syrphids, tachinids, sarcophagids, calliphorids, muscids and other flies. Sphecius speciosa, the cicada killer, Oklahoma, and detail of its pronotum. Chlorion cyaneum, Nebraska, and detail of its pronotum; preys on Gryllidae.
Crabronidae: Diagnostic characters:
APOIDEA: Bees are closely related to the sphecid/crabronid wasps. Both have rounded lobes on the pronutum. Sphecids have the body sparsely haired, and the hairs are not plumose. In addition, the hind basitarsus is similar in size and appearence to the other tarsal segments. In bees, the hind basitarsus is large and flattened and the body is usually densely covered with plumose hairs (the parasitic bees are not very hairy, but still have the modified hind basitarsus).
Halictidae: Diagnostic characters: Usually brilliant bronze or green bees, but many are blackish. Basal vein is strongly arched. This is a large, diverse family. They nest is burrows in the ground. Many species, especially in the genus Nomia, are economically important plant pollinatiors. Some Lasioglossum species, the sweat bees, are attracted to human and animal perspiration. The family contains solitary as well as primitively eusocial species; a few are kleptoparasites on other bees. A beautiful metallic green species from Minnesota, Halictus sericeus. Female and male abdomen and wing venation (forewing, hind wing).
Andrenidae: Wing venation of Andrena wilkela, Minnesota, showing jugal and vanal lobes of hind wing in relation to submedian cell. These are also ground nesters. Most are solitary. The genus Andrena is very common in the spring.
Colletidae: The plasterer bees (Colletinae) burrow to nest in the ground and line their burrows with a thin, clear plaster. The very common yellowfaced bees (Hylaeinae) resemble small wasps and carry pollen in their crops rather than on the legs. A yellowfaced bee from Minnesota, Hylaeus ziziae, and detail of face.
Megachilidae: Diagnostic characters: Two submarginal cells of about equal length on FW. Workers carry pollen under abdomen (where they have long hairs). Mandibles adapted for cutting. These bees line the cells of their nests with cut pieces of leaves. Most species are solitary. A leaf cutter bee from Minnesota, Magachile latimanus, female, male, and wing venation.
Apidae: Diagnostic characters: Forewing with 3 submarginal cells. Galeae and glossa ("tongue") long and slender. Jugal lobe in hind wing short or lacking.
Apinae, Apini: In Minnesota includes only the honey bee, Apis melifera, native to the Old World.
Apinae, Bombini: bumble bees, e.g., a large Minnesota species, Bombus impatiens; wing venation;
Apinae, Anthophorini: digger bees, e.g., Anthophora terminalis, wings and hind leg;
FYI: Apinae, Euglossini: orchid bees, e.g., a large orchid bee from Venezuela, Eufriesia sp.
Nomadinae: Nomada sp., a cuckoo bee, from Nebraska. These wasp-like, hairless bees all are parasites in nests of other bees. They do not transport pollen and thus lack pollen carrying structures.
Xylocopinae: A very large carpenter bee, Xylocopa sp., from Brazil. These also occur in North America and excavate large galleries in wood. Other, smaller carpenter bees (Ceratina) burrow in the pith of plant stems.

How great that the photographer captured all the little details that you put so much work into! - so often, those don't get recorded. Love the one of you and your bridesmaids peeking over the wall - funny! |

Great pictures but I don't envy you the job of choosing. |
Wow. Great job with great subjects. Nice looking. Even made me a little weepy. Well done!!! I'm so happy for you at this beautiful dedication of your lives, and that you've shared it with us. Thank you. |
Thank you, everyone! We don't have to choose really. I mean, I have to choose which ones I want to print, but we have the CD and full copywrite release for all of them. I printed an 8x10 of this one for a frame in our bedroom, this weekend (just had it printed through CVS online). That one is my absolute favote. I think I look VERY sassy in it. LMAO And I printed some 4x6 of some others, for home and for a frame at work. We ordered 3 small photo albums from the photog (1 for us, 1 for my parents, and 1 for Keith's mom) but I can't remember if we get to choose those or if she just does a variety. I already sent her an email this morning, asking, because I couldn't remember. |

In Plant 3D when you hover over a pipe it says that it is a pipe, if you hover over anything else for example bends, flanges, valves etc., it says that it is a Pipe Inline Asset which is not very helpful.
I would like to see the Long Description (Size), other users might like to see the Long Description (Family), either way it would be good to have an easy way to set up what is shown when we hover over a pipe, valve etc.
When the Isometrics are created it is notified in the Status Bar Tray. We usually have the variable Traynotify turned off since we don't want to be notified each time a plot is created, but this also turns off the notification of the isometrics. Would it be possible to separate these two notifications?
add an 'update border' or 'replace border' command to p&id, allowing to use newer versions or switching to another size.
Further to my comment above regarding information listed when you hover over a pipe, you should also be able to get the information from piping components in an xref. From past experience this is an extremely useful feature
I pray for 3 main upgrade:
I. BE AVAILIBLE to create new P3D classes, and in this way, better mappaing options
II. Better ISO generating, without splitting small piperuns to 20 sheets /without any
knowable reason/
III. Smarter ORTHO creation
Future "dream" wishes:
Changing the graphic engine to something that can handle such projects, that
Plant should, but just dying under them. In other softwares. It is not a big deal,
to make the PID-PLANT-ISO communicate back and forth!!! COME ON!
Why don't developers make our life easier, and create a market leading
(Okay I got it, that there is AutoCAD connection, but maybe we absolutely do not
need it anymore. For example, I really like the Inventors drawing interface, and it also
communicate with AC, so everybody is happy with it...)
THANK YOU AUTODESK, for listening to my mortal words!
Following basic modelling tools are required in Plant3d space itself, presently basic structural tools only available in Plant3d space.
Basic civil modelling tools like beam, column, wall, window, door, lintel and civil staircase with hand rail.
Basic Electrical cable trays and HVAC ducts of various sizes.
We would like to have only shape intelligent, not other intelligents. Presently we are using autocad extrude commands for making beam, column, slab, which cause difficulty if sizes are changed.
Hope this will be available in 2014 release.
A 'activate spec' command that activates the spec by selecting a component. It should pick up the spec from that item and make it current.
My wish are:
Standardise the Plant 3D Catalog format so that they work with all releases or make available a convertor for saving to earlier releases. Presently you have different content packs available for different releases but the newer ones cannot be used by earlier releases. This is only going to get worse
Due to other software we are presently working in Plant 3D 2012, we are producing a catalog based on ISCO IPS HDPE Pipes. Autodesk have just made this content pack available for download but only for Plant 3D 2013, this is really annoying.
Having to convert the Specs and catalogs each release might have seemed like a good idea at the time but from a users viewpoint it is painful.
Add weights to your catalogs. CadWorx do this by creating and ASME catalog for Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel, this covers most situations.
Create an ASME Metric catalog. I know it is based on imperial sizes but I like to keep all of the catalogs used in the project Metric.
Have questions about Autodesk products? Ask the community.

Older players bring real-life experiences to ACC |
Written by Admin |
Wednesday, 10 October 2012 11:56 |
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Older players who have taken different routes to college football have become mentors in Atlantic Coast Conference locker rooms that are filled with teenagers who have known only football. The value of players around the ACC like Clemson's Daniel Rodriguez and North Carolina's Sylvester Williams is more than just what they do on the field. Rodriguez served in Iraq and Afghanistan, while Williams worked in a factory after graduating from high school before deciding to give college football a try. North Carolina State coach Tom O'Brien says players like those are invaluable because they ``understand the real-life experiences'' and can lead their teammates whether they start or play only sparingly. |

I'm a Minnesota Wild fan, so when I say I have a certain expertise in finding something to love in even the most mediocre teams, Wild fandom is my credential.
A lot of people who consider themselves hockey fans have a distinct, "Oh right, that team" glaze-eyed reaction when I say I'm a Wild fan. I know that look because it's the one I make when someone tells me they're a Columbus Blue Jackets fan.
You don't want to say, "Oh, that's lame" because that's their team and you're not a complete a-hole, but you also know nothing about them because they're never relevant.
So, to get you up to speed if you're one of these folks, the team has a new coach in Mike Yeo this season after two really lousy seasons under Todd Richards, and one really lousy season under Jacques Lemaire.
Yeo was the coach in Houston last season, so I got to know his style both on and off the ice, and I'm a huge fan. Smart hockey guy, swagger out the wazoo, and the most keen instinct for managing the people around him of anybody I've ever met.
He just knows how to push the right buttons to motivate, comfort, or inspire. Heck, he even used his magic on me a couple of times and by the end of the season, I would have run through walls for him as willingly as any of his players.
But now he's up with the big club and, after a 5-game win streak, the Wild are back to looking like they did the last 3 seasons: Like they only give about half a crap.
So I watch and I wonder, how will Yeo get them going? How do you make a team get the level of "hard" required to win consistently?
How do you get them amped to battle on the ice when the off-ice life of an NHLer is, at least relative to other leagues, very very comfortable?
I have some ideas for reminding the guys that if you want the NHL lifestyle, you better earn it by "paying the price physically" as Yeo said last night:
- No more fancy hotels. I kept seeing shots of the JW Marriott there by Staples Center where they were beat 5-2 (and it wasn't that close) by the Kings last night. But I'm sure there's a Courtyard Marriott with perfectly acceptable beds somewhere nearby that's more appropriate for the team's effort level in that game. Enjoy your hardwired internet, ya sissies!
- Dress and drive to all practices. Like 6-year-olds.
- I never saw any "rough parts of town" in Minneapolis or St. Paul when I was there, but I'm sure they're there, and the boys should all have to live there. Keep 'em on their toes, maintain a bit of an edge that living in the comfortable suburbs or well-appointed downtown condos can't provide.
- Give 'em all beater cars to drive. You want your BMW? Then you freaking go into the dirty areas and maintain possession of that puck!
- Make them sleep on pillow cases imprinted with Yeo's stern face.
- Have an apology circle after each loss, where each guy admits his screw-ups and apologizes to the team. Marek Zidlicky gets to go twice.
- Go to an actual store to buy your suits. Losers schlep their firm butts to Men's Wearhouse. Winners get the Suit Guy in your locker room.
- Exploding breezers that literally catch on fire if you aren't playing hard enough. Yeo has his finger on the trigger, so you better work, Scorchass!
I'm sure the NHLPA has rules about some of this stuff, but a girl can dream right? Some nights, my team just doesn't deserve the fluffy comfort that NHLers are afforded.
I want them to suffer a little for how I and my fellow fans die a little inside every time they fail to show up for a game.
Speaking of which, I hear the bus system in Los Angeles is pretty good. Maybe the Wild should take that to their game against the Ducks this afternoon.
Then at least if they don't show up this time, there will be a reasonable explanation for it.

Next Tuesday... if you think the two candidates battling to represent Santa Barbara County's 2nd District, look familiar, you're right.
The race is a rematch from 2006. Former Santa Barbara city councilman Dan Secord hopes to trump the incumbent and board chair Janet Wolf. The district covers portions of western Santa Barbara and the Eastern Goleta Valley. The biggest issue on the table during this race is the county's $40 million budget shortfall.
Both county supervisor Janet Wolf and Dan Secord have been here before. They ran against each other four years ago but in this economy, the stakes are much higher.
"The board majority simply isn't doing their job because they've let this deficit get out of control," Secord said.
He blames the $40 million dollar budget shortfall, nearly double last year's, on increased spending while Wolf says the county's taking in less money.
"We've been moving some of our departments out of very expensive rental spaces back into our county buildings to save money. We have changed our worker's comp carrier to save money," Wolf said.
Just last week, the unions and the county agreed to $10 million worth of concessions, but Secord feels Wolf is getting too cozy with employee groups.
"We may have to make some very serious changes to the way people think they're going to retire when they work for the government," Secord said.
"The county is making strides and moves in order to look at our pension system in broader detail," Wolf said.
She says the county has put together a task force to examine retirement options. Meanwhile, Secord says the county pays more into retirement pensions than many private employers and needs to focus on necessities.
"We gotta take care of the poor. We got to provide the court. We got to do the sheriff and then we should start saying are we doing something that needs to be done," Secord said.
"We have always balanced our budget. We will continue to do so by making strategic cuts," Wolf said.
Four years ago, neither candidate won the majorty n the primary election. That forced a runoff and Wolf squeezed out a victory by just 1500 votes.

Dear Friend,
Loss is experienced by virtually every person on Earth. However, the type of loss the Sandy Hook Elemetnary School families of the victims are experiencing can not be imagined by most people. So great is their loss, and so universal is our horror that many, many people are grieving in their own ways over the 26 Heros and Angels whose lives were so abruptly and unfairly cut short. In the case of especially traumatic losses, when grief comes unexpectedly, it is exponentially more difficult to begin the healing process.
It will be the context in which you cope and understand the process of grief that will determine the quality of your life going forward. In one study that studied people who lived longer than 100, the outstanding quality they shared was the ability to deal with loss, especially of friends and family.
Whether it is the loss of a person, job or capabilities, there is a natural process built into each us that keeps us functional and eventually restores us to "normal". Unless, as is most often the case, we get trapped in one of the "brain storms" inherent in this very difficult time. No one can eleiminate the emotional pain associated with loss, regardless of how it occurs. That pain is a result of the commitment and love you have invested. The intensity of emotional pain is a reflection of the how much we will miss this person and should never be a concern of shame.
The Series is designed to help you progress on a monthly basis. It not only provides symptom-relief by working with you on a new topic each month, it will help you discover a meaningful path through these stressful times. It will help you begin to live your life again.
Warmest regards,
It is important on many levels to get control of negative thoughts. On a personal health level – the anxiety negative thoughts causes breaks down the immune system and opens the door to both minor and major illnesses. And as difficult as grieving is, the addition of an illness makes it exponentially worse. This month's MP3 will help you train your brain to control and redirect even the negative thoughts that seem beyond your control – and eventually this skill will not just help you through your grief, but help you find new meaning in life.
When you sign-up for the complete Series, you will also have access to the MindBodySeries Grief Series Support Network
Each month you will receive a new MINDBody Grief and Loss Series MP3 to help you in the healing progress, guiding and you as you improve, develop and create life-long healthy mental habits. As you progress, so does the Program. MP3s continue to ship monthly until you feel you no longer need the continuing support. Cancel the on-going Series anytime.
Use the MindBodSeries Grief and Loss Series and feel the positive impact in your life for a full 60 days… We GUARANTEE that you will be completely satisfied with the results of the Grief and Loss Series when you follow the program as Dr. Lawlis recommends. If you are not happy with your results after 60 days, email us at email@example.com and we will give you a complete refund promptly. |

Hi-C40 Mobile Jaw Crusher
Posted By admin On November 30, -0001 @ 12:00 am In Boomerang | No Comments
The Hi-C40 Mobile Jaw Crusher is a portable crusher designed for onsite crushing and for those tricky, hard to access places where you can create your own gravel right on site. The Hi-C40 has 60 tons of crushing power built into a portable piece of equipment. You can crush just about anything from stones & rocks, bricks & blocks, curb stone, broken concrete & even broken concrete with rebar, and with a fully adjustable jaw you can create finished product from ¾ up to 3 pieces. The crusher is built on a 28 2 speed hydro-static, self propelled, tracked driven platform powered by a 91/2 hp diesel Kubota engine giving you the ability to go through a standard doorway and access spots where full size crushers could never go. For Inside work where noise is a concern the engine runs at 86 decibels and with an optional noise suppression system that can be reduced to 75 decibels. The crusher also meets California air emissions standards and if dry scrubbers are installed air quality is cleaner than propane. The Hi-C40 Crusher is the ultimate addition for the contractor looking to save time and money by solving debris problems right on-site.
