getting rid of wasps and yellow jackets help
I have a very big deck at my home and these guys love to build nests under every chunk of decking and all the rails. Usually I get the bee spray from HD that leaves something there so that they dont come back the whole year.. but they dont sell it anymore.. all the bug sprays now just kill and thats about it.. anyone know of a product that leaves a residue to keep them away.. I dont know where to find it now... and I have no clue of the name of it anymore either.. wish I had the old can..
Wasps and Hornets build the paper nests, Yellow Jackets live in the ground. CB 80 or Konk II should work for you. Although if the spray lasted all season it must have been some toxic stuff and could be why you can't find it any more. These two have Pyrethrin from Chrysanthemum flowers which is as good as any megatoxic spray and only affects insects.
I have used a vaccum cleaner hose running from the tail pipe of my car into the holes of Yellow Jackets, with a dirt seal built up around the hose. Do this at night when they're home. Have the car running before you put the pipe in and the fumes will calm them enough to get it in place.
Have you figured out why they like Your deck so much, may if you change the environment they'll stay away.
Good Luck, Ron
Here is a link that might be useful: CB 80
I recently aquired a few decorator birdhouses. I put them out yesterday and already the wasps have found them. Before it is too late, hopefully, how do I stop them from building nests inside these pretty houses?Is there anything I can place inside the houses that the wasps or hornets do not like? The houses are on a wire table on a patio that has southern exposure..it gets very hot and sunny! HELP!
Thanks so much!
Yeap, I use it too. Unbelievable stuff! It's called Real Kill. Black can sprays up to 22 feet and kills those suckers on contact and they won't come back for months.
I couldn't find that this year but they had a yellow can which works just as good. It's more foamy and sprays the same distance.
I had a different view on Bees this year since I saw a ton of them pollinating my cukes. I like them. I just don't like those wasps.
Ok HELP HELP HELP!! I am having a BIG PROBLEM with yellow jackets in bewteen my foundation and cement stairs and in the foundation on the side of the house ...I had sprayed them at night with at least 5 cans of yellow jacket killer and sealed the holes on the side of the house... and I sealed the seam along the area they were coming in and out of behind the stairs .. but apparently there has to be a big nest cause it is now April and we have had a couple of warm days here in Chicago and I have seen them on my stairs and the other day there was one in my basement ** alive mind you ** of course I killed it but I am not liking the fact I didn't get rid of them last year!And its sooo early in the year for them to be out! Since I can not get to the nest to get it out, what can I do to get rid of them??? I will be spraying it all over again and sealing ANY openings between the foundation & stairs under the siding and the house etc..And I have checked every possible opening they could possibly get into my basement inside my basement ** had tons of them last year in the basement too** I am short of calling Orkin or whomever did not need that kind of expense right now ....any ideas are very helpful thank you !!! :)
Orkin or another professional will be able to get rid of the nest with less hazardous results than you spraying all over the place. I suspect that because of the location of this nest that there are multiple queens and that they are reinhabiting the same location year after year. This phenomenon occurs in the south sometimes, resulting in yellow jacket nests with enormous populations.
This needs to be taken care of efficiently and with the safety of the human residents in mind! Call some pest control companies and talk to them.
Is there anything I can do to stop yellow jackets from feeding on my humming bird feeders. These pesky critters run off my humming birds? I don't want to harm the hummers.
I recently moved into a rental that has a big, wonderful deck with stairs down to the garden. This is how my dog goes outside. We had plenty of wasps and bees around through the spring, and we all ignored them, and they ignored us. Then a couple of weeks ago, my dog and daughter were both stung, so I went under the deck with spray and destroyed 3 nests.
Thinking we were in the clear, life went back to normal. But the survivors kept circling around, and I had to spray again, as they seemed to be rebuilding under the stairs. The dog and I were stung one day for no reason (except being on the stairs.) Now, it seems that every other day there are wasps going in & out between the boards on the steps.
I will spray as often as I have to, but I'd really love to figure out how to keep them out of the stairs. I have been stung 3 times so far, and each time I was minding my own business. As someone who gardened peacefully for 20 years without being stung by anything, I deeply resent this!
The house is old, so everything is holey and crumbly. And I dont' want to spend too much money on this, as I hope to move out this winter. But I don't want the wasps to ruin the rest of our summer!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

computer games cost millions to make. to hire new people, pay overtime, to get new tech, pay the legal costs for licences, to get new software, server maintenance everything. more money means they can add more stuff
if they stop charging us for the c-store they get less money and have less funds to do stuff quickly.
we would probably still get the nebula without the c-store but there is no telling when it would come

Department of Clinical Neurosciences
Clinical Neurosciences Programs
For program contact information please click here.
Calgary Stroke Program - Director, Dr. Andrew Demchuk
The Calgary stroke program is recognized as one of the leading programs internationally for stroke treatment and research. Alberta Health Services (AHS), the University of Calgary, the Department of Clinical Neurosciences and our program work alongside other departments to provide quality acute, rehabilitative, and preventative care to people with stroke and their families.
Calgary Epilepsy Program - Director, Dr. Neelan Pillay
The Calgary epilepsy program consists of a unique core of specialists working together to provide comprehensive care for epilepsy patients. As one of the premiere epilepsy centres in Canada, this team works collaboratively to find the most appropriate treatment for each patient, developing innovative ways to diagnose and treat epilepsy in children and adults. Patients and families often present with complex needs arising from the impact of this chronic illness on their ives. This, coupled with the experience of change in their disease process nd their response to treatment, makes it increasingly important to maximize the full potential of each individual with epilepsy in our community using an integrated care approach. The Calgary epilepsy program strives to be a centre for clinical and academic excellence through the improvement of consolidated clinical services, education, and research that will enhance local and national initiatives to improve care for patients.
Calgary Headache Assessment Management Program (CHAMP) – Medical Lead, Dr. Jeptha Davenport; Clinic Coordinator, Irene O'Callaghan, RN
The headache program is a unique collaboration between the Calgary Pain Program, of which it is an integral part, and which funds clinic staff and administrative support, and the Division of Neurology, contributing neurologists and facilities. CHAMP, part of the larger Headache Program, is supported by more than 20 team members working together to provide: diagnostic services for difficult to diagnose headache patients, state-of-the-art pharmacological management for patients with headache disorders including cluster headache, migraine, tension-type headache, and other headache disorders, and behavioural modalities for headache management. Headache Program team member professions include: nursing, administrative support, neuropsychiatry, anesthesiology, family practice, psychology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, pharmacy, and kinesiology. As a valuable resource for the primary care physicians of southern Alberta, CHAMP received 1,830 referrals in 2011-2012, and 1,935 referrals in 2012-2013.
The program is actively engaged in clinical research, including both industry-sponsored clinical trials and clinical trials initiated by the
program. Current active areas of research include the role of exercise in migraine management, and the treatment of medication overuse headache. CHAMP is also involved in many aspects of medical, nursing, and patient education in headache medicine, locally, nationally, and internationally. CHAMP members are involved in the organization and delivery of the Canadian Headache Society National Neurology Resident Headache Course, and in the Internationsl Headache Academy.
Cognitive Neurosciences Program - Director, Dr. Eric Smith
The cognitive neurosciences program provides expert medical consultation for cognitive disorders, educates undergraduate and postgraduate learners regarding the medical evaluation and treatment of dementia and milder forms of impaired cognition, and conducts research on the causes and treatment of cognitive disorders. The cognitive neurosciences clinic is the only specialty clinic in Calgary for early onset cognitive disorders and dementia and the only cognitive specialty clinic staffed by a combination of neurologists and psychiatrists. The clinical research program is supported by the Hotchkiss Brain Institute as well as several external funding agencies.
Movement Disorder Program - Director, Dr. Ranjit Ranawaya
Movement disorders are diseases that result in involuntary movements such as tremor, dystonia, chorea, bradykinesia (slowness) and tics. These disorders cause significant disability in one of every 100 Albertans and impacts over 30,000 Albertan families. The program provides a multidisciplinary clinic with a staff of over 20 individuals including specialists in neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, nursing, social work, psychology, and physiotherapy. The program treats over 2,000 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Approximately 2,000
patients are followed with close to 10,000 patient visits per year.
Multiple Sclerosis Program - Director, Dr. Luanne Metz
The MS clinic is excited to announce the opening of a satellite MS clinic at South Health Campus (SHC). Physicians moving to the new campus include Drs. Patry, Pearson, and Alikhani. Our rehabilitation specialist, Dr. McGowan, will work at both SHC and Foothills Medical
Centre (FMC). All remaining physicians as well as the pediatric clinic and clinical trial visits will continue to be provided at the FMC. Nursing support for those who transfer to SHC will be provided by MS nurses who have undergone an extensive orientation and training process.
The satellite MS clinic at SHC will provide a much needed increase in space and resources for both staff and patients. Providing additional nursing and rehabilitation staff to our clients will help balance patient loads and accommodate an increased need for capacity throughout
Southern Alberta. This will allow the MS clinic to continue providing top-notch rehabilitation, mental health, and neuropsychology services to all patients no matter which clinic they attend. To that end, we are currently working with our patients to try to accommodate
site and physician preferences. Fourteen physicians now work in our MS clinic including 10 neurologists, a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist, a neuropsychiatrist and a pediatric neurologist. Most neurologists have one to two days of MS clinic per week as all our physicians have other responsibilities including caring for hospitalized patients. Although most of our MS Clinic neurologists have a full MS practice we've added several new neurologists. This was to accommodate the expansion to SHC and meet our growing needs. These additional physicians have helped reduce MS clinic wait times.
Neuromuscular Program - Director, Dr. Chris White
The Neuromuscular program was established in 1992 to meet the overall health needs of people with peripheral nerve, muscle and neuromuscular junction disorders. The mission of this program is to provide timely, expert and comprehensive consultation and care to patients with neuromuscular disorders. Additionally, this program aims to provide state of the art diagnostic and treatment services as well as developing cutting edge research. To date, the program consists of four sub-specialty clinics: the neuromuscular clinic, the ALS clinic, the peripheral nerve injury clinic and the neuropathic pain clinic. Within the next five years, the neuromuscular program will develop into a newly constituted program cluster known as the southern Alberta nerve and muscle program. The vision of this program is to emerge into an internationally recognized program model for access and evidenced based and compassionate care for patients with nerve and
muscle disorders.
Neuro-opthalmology Program - Director, Dr. William Fletcher
Neuro-Ophthalmology is a joint program of the Divisions of Neurology and Ophthalmology. The Neuro-Ophthalmology clinic, located in the eye clinic at Rockyview General Hospital, provides expert diagnosis and care for patients with vision or eye movement problems caused by disorders of brain, nerve or muscle. Most patients are referred to the clinic by ophthalmologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons.
Typical presenting problems include unexplained loss of vision, optic nerve swelling, visual field defects, double vision, eye oscillations (e.g., nystagmus) and pupillary disorders. Patients seen in the neuro-ophthalmology clinic often require special investigations such as computerized visual field testing, retinal photography, electroretinography, optical coherence tomography and orthoptics.
The neuro-ophthalmology program is actively involved in the education of residents and fellows, and in research.
Tourette & Pediatric Movement Disorders - Director, Dr. Tamara Pringsheim
Since the opening of the Calgary Tourette and Pediatric Movement Disorders Clinic in April of 2008, the clinic has assessed more than 600 new patients. This team provides consultation and continuing care for children and adults with Tourette Syndrome. This includes children with other movement disorders such as motor stereotypies, tremor and dystonia. The clinic has become a referral centre for southern Alberta, as well as neighbouring communities in Saskatchewan and British Columbia. The program provides evaluation and treatment for other common conditions seen in conjunction with Tourette Syndrome, including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Urgent Neurology Clinic - Director, Dr. Alexandra Hanson
The Urgent Neurology Clinic provides a consultation service for patients requiring an urgent neurological assessment in an out-patient setting. Its mandate is to serve patients within one week and strives to see patients within 72 hours. Further investigations are then provided in a timely manner. The Urgent Neurology Clinic has been providing this service for southern Alberta and eastern British Columbia since 2000. The Urgent Neurology Clinic is a single programme which has clinics at both the Foothills Medical Centre and South Health Campus.

East Lyme - The Zoning Commission did not make a decision last week on an application to change a 24-acre parcel zoned for light industrial use into an affordable housing district and build 69 residential units, but said the proposed development's location did not suit residential usage.
The Rocky Neck Village development, being proposed by JAG Capital Drive LLC of Mystic, would be about a half mile from the Rocky Neck Connector. It would have entrances on West Main Street and Capital Drive.
The area contains businesses involved in manufacturing and product distribution.
The proposed development's proximity to those industrial businesses spurred discussion about safety and public interest concerns among commission members at last Thursday's meeting.
Chairman Marc Salerno said the commission heard "extensive testimony" at a public hearing which closed two weeks earlier. He said that though the commission previously has rezoned other light industrial districts into affordable housing districts, for example at 38 Hope Street, he emphasized that each application stands on its own.
Commission member Norman Peck referenced public hearing testimony from some of the neighboring business owners who worry the residential development would impact their normal work.
"Why should somebody not be able to work 24/7, with trucks coming in and out, in an industrial zone?" said Peck, referring to a comment made at the public hearing.
He said placing residential development in an industrial zone would not be a good zoning practice. Hurting the business operations could eventually lead to lower property values in town, he said.
Commission member Matthew Walker said there were conflicting viewpoints about the appropriateness of residential units in the area, but felt that the business owners in the nearby industrial park had a compelling argument. He said there were safety concerns about having residential buildings so close to an industrial park.
Salerno said he was not opposed to the development itself, but agreed with the commission members that the units were not in the right location. He also explained that the existing industries in the area were more intense uses than in other light industrial zones.
"I concur with everyone's concern here, and I think that concern overrides my desire for this project, because I think it is an attractive project, and the desire for affordable housing in this town," said Salerno.
Commission members discussed if there were possibilities for amending the application, for example to change its boundaries, but hadn't heard adequate alternatives from the developer.
Salerno said he thought the commission reached a consensus that it was in opposition of having residential units in the industrial zone and asked the zoning staff to draft a motion for discussion and a final decision at a later meeting.
The commission will discuss the issue at its March 7 meeting.

Chinese steel production is moving from its heartland in Hebei province in the wake of government efforts to tackle pollution near Beijing, but Shanghai could be paying the price as steel mills around the commercial capital ramp up output.Saturday, 4 January, 2014, 2:03am
I have a friend who works in a 'dirty' business, but it's also one of the most environmentally friendly. He works in the scrap metal industry.22 Nov 2010 - 12:00am
China says it will intensify efforts this year to consolidate the steel industry.
In a policy document, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said the country would close mills producing less than one million tonnes of steel a year while tightening environmental standards and clamping down on old and inefficient operations.14 Jul 2010 - 12:00am
The chief of Angang Steel, the largest Hong Kong-listed mainland steel producer, has blasted the three foreign iron ore mining majors for not being willing to 'share' market risks and profits, leaving half the mainland's steel industry in the red while making huge profits themselves.22 Apr 2010 - 12:00am
Soaring demand for steel on the mainland will lead to a sharply higher price for iron ore next year, according to Macquarie Securities.
'The annual contract price could be up by more than 20 to 30 per cent, maybe higher,' Jim Lennon, the global head of commodities research for Macquarie, said at a conference in Hong Kong yesterday.21 Nov 2009 - 12:00am
Anglo-Australian iron ore supplier Rio Tinto Group has relocated several of its Australian analysts who worked at its Shanghai office, where four of its employees were detained by mainland secret police on spying charges earlier this month, a source said.
The latest development came as calls mounted for the mainland to enhance the transparency of its handling of the case.17 Jul 2009 - 12:00am
Investors' hopes for an early recovery in the mainland steel industry look overly optimistic.
Since the Hong Kong stock market bottomed in late October, the shares of locally listed mainland steel companies have rebounded handsomely, with both Angang Steel and Maanshan Iron & Steel comfortably outperforming the H-share index (see the first chart below).30 Jan 2009 - 12:00am
Beijing's worst polluter, the Shougang steelworks, shut one of its four giant blast furnaces yesterday, a key step in delivering clearer skies for the Olympics and for the state-owned behemoth's relocation away from the capital.
After more than 35 years of operation, the fires were doused in the plant's No4 furnace, Xinhua reported.6 Jan 2008 - 12:00am
The mainland's top state economic planning agency has called on provincial governments to shut 77.76 million tonnes of steel production at backward mills by 2010, about 14 per cent of the nation's current capacity, as part of its efforts to cut pollution and save energy.28 Dec 2007 - 12:00am
ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker, has received approval to increase its stake in Shenzhen-listed Hunan Valin Steel Tube and Wire, to tap the world's biggest market of the alloy.19 Dec 2007 - 12:00am
Baoshan Iron and Steel, the listed arm of the mainland's largest steelmaker, said it might buy its parent's stake in a planned 19 billion yuan steel mill when the time is ripe.7 Sep 2007 - 12:00am
Angang Steel is the biggest Hong Kong-listed Chinese steelmaker by value. Its principal activity is the production and sale of billets, wire rods, thick plates, cold rolled sheets and large steel products. It operates solely in the domestic market.11 Jun 2007 - 12:00am
Maanshan Iron & Steel's principal activity is the manufacture and sale of iron and steel products. Its main steel products come in four major categories: steel sections, wire rods, medium or thick steel plates and train wheels and tyres. It imports machinery and raw materials and exports steel products.11 Jun 2007 - 12:00am
Baoshan Iron & Steel (Baosteel), the mainland's biggest steelmaker, and its rivals posted strong gains in first-quarter profits as they benefited from higher prices and increased output amid soaring demand.27 Apr 2007 - 12:00am
A mid-level manager with a steel company in Liaoning province has been detained over a breach of safety regulations blamed for last week's molten steel spill, which killed 32 workers, a company source said yesterday.24 Apr 2007 - 12:00am

World's End is not some lamentation about the single digit temperatures we've seen in these parts; it's one of the great place names in the Hudson Highlands from 40 to 55 miles north of the the Statue. Enjoy these summer/winter pics of this curve in the vicinity of World's End. West Point is just to the left, and we're headed north.
Birk Thomas–of tugboat information.com– took this photo in just about the same place less than a week ago.
I took this two summers ago, and that's Pollepel Island in the distance.
Same place . . . Birk's photo from last week. Visibility is so restricted that the Island cannot be seen.
And here are two more shots of the same view in summer, from off Cornell and
Patty Nolan. That's Buchanan 12 heading north in the photo below.
Photos 2 and 4 used with thanks to Birk Thomas. All others by Will Van Dorp.
Here was 15. The first relief crew post appeared here over seven years ago. The idea is to feature someone else's photos and/or writing, just because so many of you see, photograph, and write such interesting stuff AND –of course–because collaboration is such powerful leaven.
All these photos today come from Birk Thomas. The event was the departure last week of CV-60 USS Saratoga–Brooklyn built–for the scrapyard. For some intriguing photos of the other end of her life, click here for this navsource site.
Signet Warhorse III is the motive force.
Iona McAllister, Rainbow, and Buckley McAllister assist with the hookup and departure from Narragansett Bay.
Not until last night did I learn that a final aircraft takeoff and landing was happening at this very moment up on her flight deck.
Warhorse . . . what a name!
Note the riding crew on the deck.
Rainbow straightens out the tow. . .
in the early minutes of the tow.
Again, many thanks to Birk Thomas for use of these photos, which not all of you have seen on Facebook.
As Harvey (1931) made its way northward from a dry dock visit, Slater (1944) was a hundred miles upriver, making its way south. The next two photos come from Birk Thomas, taken north of Newburgh NY as sun was lowering onto the hills in the west.
Benjamin Elliot (1960) is the assist tug. Margot (1958) has Slater alongside . . the other side.
John Dunn caught this photo of the tow south of Newburgh, after sunset.
Since Margot cannot be seen in the photos above, here's her profile as I shot it back in September 2013.
Many thanks to Birk and John for the photos.
When this event happened on Memorial Day in the sixth boro, I wrote about it as "cast." The New London cast right after the 4th of July was quite different. All these fotos come with thanks to Birk Thomas, now at sea. Ferry New London is automatically part of the local and daily cast .
Thames (rhymes with "james" ) Towboat Company's John P. Wronowski (2004) was built in Florida.
Gwendolyn (1975) was built in Louisiana.
USCGC Eagle began to take shape in Hamburg in 1936.
USS Carter Hall had her keel laid in Louisiana in 1991.
Adam uses her 450 hp mostly around the Thames Towboat Company yards, where it was built.
Patricia Ann came out of a Louisiana shipyard as a YTB on hull #758 . . to Hercules #766, now in Nigeria.
John P. and Paul A. Wronowski (1980 in Connecticut) assist USS Carter Hall into its berth. Paul A. was one of the first z-drive tugs ever built.
Ticonderoga (1936 by Herreshoff in Boston as Tioga) begs to be seen from closer, much closer.
Ferry Race Point is cast, even if she's really working the run to Fisher's Island.
Behold Wolf . . . she flies the flag of the Conch Republic, where I found myself exactly a year ago!
Cisne Branco . . . like Eagle was in the sixth boro almost two months ago.
Schooner Brilliant, 1932 in the Bronx, is truly brilliant.
Schooner A. J. Meerwald, 1932 in South Jersey, homeports in Bivalve . . . yes the village is truly called that.
Wisconsin-built YP-700 had its keel laid in 1987.
It's Amistad (Connecticut with a 2000 launch) with its unmistakable rake.
Again . . . many thanks to Birk for these fotos.
I suppose I could call this "random and gorgeous tug fotos I wish I'd taken."
Thanks to John Skelson for this one of Coastline Bay Star. I've seen this vessel only once in this incarnation of her, but it was in Belt traffic from which a foto was impossible. John nails it here. What a beaut!!
The rest come from Birk Thomas. This series I just find stunning: Gramma Lee T turns out after escorting her Nth vessel. I'm wondering if there's an actual count of assists for her decade of service since her June 2002 delivery. Happy Decade 1 celebration.
Birk got this foto off New London: Allison Crosby looks like a Vane boat, whose series she post-dates, but for ocean towing, she has a 10,500 hp plant in the engine room.
Buster Bouchard has been around since 1979, but I saw her in the sixth boro for the first time only this spring.
The newest twins in the boro . . . Discovery Coast and Chesapeake Coast.
Also, by Birk, Ocean Delta, Norway-built, moving more parts for the nickel mining operation in Newfoundland.
Ocean Delta (ex-Sistella) is a 1973 UT 505 design from the Ulstein Group. Click here for a snowy/icy foto of Ocean Delta.
Many thanks to Birk Thomas for these fotos. I find this a case of beauty that's often there but mostly unappreciated because it's a scene just not frequently or easily seen. Here was non-boro tugs 2.
The tug and barge are clearing US customs re-entering the US off New London on a run homeward from Halifax.
The barge–which had transported power plant components from the Mississippi to Halifax–was clearly light. For a view of Gulf Cajun and the loaded barge arriving in Halifax, check Tugfax site here. From Halifax, the cargo will move to a Vale nickel-processingproject in Newfoundland.
Here she is, Gulf Cajun, 1976, 5600 hp, and as chance would
have it, even tonight, she's off Atlantic City, leaving Long Island to port. Although these fotos show her a creature of the deep blue sea, in many ways she resembles Atlantic Salvor, currently shuttling sixth boro dredge spoils out of the harbor channels.
Birk, thanks for these and other fotos. I use Birk's site here a lot.

MEXICO: SABMiller attacks beer market ruling
By James Wilmore | 12 July 2013
SABMiller's Mexican subsidiary has been left unimpressed by the outcome
SABMiller subsidiary, Miller Trading Company, has hit out at Mexico's competition authorities arguing its settlement with two rival brewers does not go far enough and still leaves the country's beer market "anti-competitive".
The Mexican Federal Trade Commission (Comisión Federal de Competencia - CFC) said yesterday (11 July) it had approved a range of commitments made by market leaders Heineken-owned Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma and Anheuser-Busch InBev-owned Grupo Modelo, following a three-year investigation. The review was triggered by SABMiller's subsidiary lodging a complaint of abuse in Mexico's beer market in 2010.
But in a strongly-worded reaction, Miller Trading Company attacked yesterday's announcement and hinted it may take further action.
In a statement, it said that "the CFC and the two dominant brewers did not go far enough to materially change the conditions for access to the beer market and for real competition".
It added: "Given that some retailers are very large and many others very small, it will be possible to restrict beer sales to a much greater extent than reflected in the exclusivity commitments, and therefore the existing anti-competitive situation will be allowed to persist to a material extent."
The company also voiced surprise that smaller brewers would now be allowed access to "exclusive on-trade accounts", but that "the dominant brewers could continue to block Miller Trading Company and other importers from these accounts".
Armando Valenzuela, Miller Trading Company's general director, said: "This settlement demonstrates that both parties recognise that their exclusivities constitute anti-competitive practices with negative effect on both consumers and competitors.
"Unfortunately, the CFC found it appropriate to still allow exclusivities and, surprisingly, allowed continued discrimination against Miller's brands. A complete opening of the market in Mexico would have been better for consumers, retailers, importers, other local brewers and investors."
He added: "We are analysing the settlement resolution and will determine our appropriate response in due course."
Heineken's Moctezuma said it was "pleased" the committments had been agreed, while Modelo said the closing of the case gives brewers, customers and consumers "certainty going forward".

quote:the court recognized the overriding public policy promoting the deployment of broadband, competitive wireless networks such as NextG¡¯s DAS networks, which enable wireless carriers to add greater coverage and capacity to their networks.
That is what people have to understand. If you want a service then you have to allow the infrastructure to provide it. The court was right.
private utilities are beholden to their shareholders, nothing more or less.
It doesn't take a "smart meter" to deliver electricity, water or gas to my home as wireless cell and data services require antennas placed in strategic places to provide effective coverage . Big difference.
I think I agree with Wayne on this one. The realtime data that utilities gather from their smartmeter deployments will allow them to increase power quality by focusing repair efforts more effectively. From "dying gasp" messages sent at the beginning of an outage to data on momentary dropouts, this will be a big asset for them. I'd say it's about on par with the DAS discussed here.BGE will be replacing my old mechanical meter in the next few months. Just got the letter in the mail this week.
Electricity, water, gas, air, can be delivered without any meter at all.
Our POCO has a very effective phone outage notification system. They don't need to spend the millions required to replace the meters they just replaced a few years ago to allow remote reading.As with anything there can be many justifications thrown in to mask the true intent which IMO is not notification of an outage.
quote:There are no studies on cumulative long term exposures, there are not even guidelines by FCC on long -term exposures. How can the FCC expose us for 10-20 years our however you live in your house 24/7 without looking at this more thoroughly ?
1 recommendation
Others like myself have several power outages per year due the weather or due to people running their trucks into power poles.We do have a smart meter, but all our power is underground for several miles, so the power company only gets the power readings when they drive up our roads with their antenna pointing at houses or cabins in the forests.When the power is out for more than a few hours, our CenturyLink phones no longer work. We have no phone service, we have no cell service, we have no power.So if these meters help us in the surrounding areas to get power back quicker, then its ok by us. A claim on insurance makes the premium go up, or at least stops it going down.
quote:When the power is out for more than a few hours, our CenturyLink phones no longer work. We have no phone service, we have no cell service, we have no power.
Here our Verizon POTS continues to work and our Verizon Cell phones continue to work as the tower has a "Big" generator.
Very true but they managed to keep it going for 17 days. However the generators they put on their POTS electronic switches kept being stolen almost as fast as they put them on.

Does deep chemical peeling cause telangiectasia?
I'm a pharmacist from the cosmetic industry. I'd like to study about telangiectasia. Some articles say that deep chemical peeling can cause telangiectasia. As the definition of telangiectasia, small widened blood vessels on the skin surface, so how can chemical peeling widen blood vessels on the skin surface? Thank you
The issue is often the Depth of the Chemical Peel. With some Peels there can be a higher likely hood that there is a requirement for revascularization to occur as part of the healing process. Sometimes this can result in the formation of telangiectasia's. This can also be related to a patients skin type, medical problems and medications the patient may be taking.
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS
You are correct that deep chemical peeling or laser resurfacing can often increase the appearance of telangiectasia and the appearance of small blood vessels on the facial skin.
There are two apparent causes for this. First chemical peeling and laser resurfacing both remove superficial epidermis which essentially "uncovers" or makes visible blood vessels that were previously covered and concealed by thickened epidermis.
Second, both deep chemical peeling and laser resurfacing are very inflammatory procedures which cause severe inflammation of the skin. The response of the skin and body to inflammation is the production of new dilated blood vessels presumably to remove debris caused by inflammation and also to send inflammatory cells into the area to restore and repair the skin following injury.

With rumors swirling that the Pioneer Woman has set her sights on yet another television show, one of our sleuth readers sent us the following from New York Times bestselling author, Craig Johnson. Sounds like Orion Entertainment, headquartered in the great state of Colorado and home to the Drummond's Vail playground, has been tapped to produce a cowboy-reality show. The pitch, grandiose in scale, seeks characters embodying traits so implausible, we couldn't help but wonder if this might be the work of none other than our favorite little ol' narcissist.

how to square an antique grandmothers garden quilt
I have a quilt top with this pattern - very old and the hexagonal pieces aren't all the same size- hence the quilt is hard to square up on top of the batting and the backing. In trying to get the rows of design equidistant from the sides - well it doesn't happen! Some of the 'garden squares' are larger overall particularly on the outer corners. Some of the outer hexagons have partly frayed too; so have lost some fabric and size with this.And the fabric has stretched a bit in places :(
It will be when I have finished hand quilting and trying to put a border or finish the edges that the problem is going to arise. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to make the borders look OK - ie not a crooked looking quilt!
Is there something at this stage that will help ?? before I continue with the basting of the layers together??
this is the first quilt I have tackled - bought the quilt top and am finishing it off; probably not very sensible one to start with but I do like a challenge!
If some one can help I would be very grateful.
thanks very much :)
I am very interested in the suggestions as well. I bought an antique top where the hexagons are placed so that the pattern is like a diamond. I also have Grandmother's Flower Garden blocks that my Grandma started and I am trying to finish. Because the hexagons were cut out using cardboard templates, they are not all the same size so I am experiencing some of the same problems.
Thinking along the lines of Kate, but thought maybe a large diamond, but that might mean sacrificing too many of the little hexagons. Since it's just pretty, not tied to a family member you can pretty much use what you want and sacrifice some that you don't.
Thanks for your replies!!
The suggestion of a border was one I had thought of, but decided that in putting one on- mainly I guess if a different colour- then the straight line of the border might accentuate the fact that the flowers/ designs don't match up, and the border passes through different parts of the flowers.
I did think of using a border the same colour as the main background colour but it will still look odd. So a bit stuck still!! Mary - if you do hear of any ideas in other blogs or emails can you let me know! Many thanks- and please keep adding to this blog - anyone out there- that might have an idea :)
I will take a picture tomorrow and post it.
My plan is to take 2 antique tops, both purchased in the area that my parents grew up, and use one for the front and one for the back. The one with hexagons has feedsack fabric in it and the other one used sugar sacks for the background. Both probably made in the late 30s or early 40s. They both have brown spots but I will not attempt to wash them until they are quilted.
Hi- here is a photo- I have tried to upload more than one but not sure if you can do more than one at a time?
I can post up more separately if only one comes through. not sure if this is helpful on its own- whether the discrepancy with the hexagons comes out that well?!
Mary- Please DO NOT wash your old quilts in coffee!!! Please try to preserve the integrity of the wonderful old fabrics and history, brown spots and all. I am anxious to see the pictures.
Anniemac- Fix this top without being on the batting and backing first of all. I think you need to remove the frayed hexies, making new out of similar fabric (muslin?), replace them and continue adding hexies to make a straight line. Then attach a border, same white fabric- carefully pressing - not too hot. Square the entire quilt, cutting the border that essentially will be a coping strip. Then add a decorative border or finish as desired. It is a big project for the first! It is a lovely top - do you know the history? What is the condition of the rest of the hexies?
You could use some lemon juice and salt, scrubbed on gently with an old toothbrush to "fade" the darker of the brown spots. But I wouldn't worry too much about getting rid of the spots completely. Of course, only treat the white pieces, not the colored hexagons - the colors are just wonderful in these quilts.
I plan to applique (machine tiny zig-zag or buttonhole stitch) a white border to my English Paperpieced baby quilt that is an ongoing project. Doing this you are joining white to white and the uneven parts might not be so evident? If you do this, I would look carefully for whites that closely match the old white fabric in the old tops. If you can find Kona "Snow" or Chanticleer "Vintage White," these might be a good match. All white unbleached muslin or plain white quilters' cotton are not alike! You will see this if you look for white fabrics for these quilts!
But you will have something wonderful when you finish these! It's a project worth pursuing.
I thought I already posted this but I guess it didn't 'stick'.
I would also recommend repairing the wonky hex pieces, but I don't think I would add pieces to level the edges. Go to Google Images and search for Grandmothers Garden quilts to see a variety of bindings. I think following the natural edges of the quilt would be most traditional and would best preserve the quilt.
Coffee would give a very dark color over all the the fabric and you would lose the vibrant shades of the prints. I know tea is more commonly used as a dye, now and in colonial times; it gives a soft natural color to the muslin. But like most of the others here, I think it's OK to leave the dark spots.
and the last picture showing the brown spots. They are all on colored fabric....not much muslin in this one.
I am going to try one of the stain removal soaks made specifically for quilts to see if they will come out. If not, they just add to the character of the quilt.
Hi- hey thanks so much for all this wonderful feedback!
I sat most of last evening finishing off the basting and looking at the edges; I think the idea of doing the least to it ie putting a binding that matches as close as possible to the quilt top base colour is the best solution too! A border will perhaps accentuate the mismatch of the symmetry, and draw the eye more to the imperfection of the edges-
I am going to take it into a craft shop today where the owner is a very accomplished quilter; will see what she has to offer as suggestions and let you know.
As to Mary's quilt-I will give my penny's worth here too - ( being such a knowledgeable quilter :)- I think coffee would make it too dark a colour; special soaks would be probably the best way to go in trying to maintain the integrity of the old fabric. And if the spots don't come out - then yes ; character to the old quilt is quite endearing and gives one a sense of history; that they were used practically by some, not simply ornamental :)
Oh I did mean to add- the colours are not quite as vibrant as my camera has shown! but still lovely.
Is it sacrilege to consider taking off the outer damaged portions at all? Resulting quilt a smaller size?
please don't eat me alive if this is a NO - just a query!!
I don't know the history of the quilt unfortunately; and the rest of the hesagons aren't in too bad a shape; it is just the edges that are a bit worn.")
There are no quilt police here! LOL You can do whatever makes you feel good about the quilt. I think even if the original quilter were sitting with you, she would just be happy to have it used and appreciated. Take off the damaged pieces if you need to and don't feel guilty. You've saved this quilt and should only feel good about it!
As this is your first quilt that you are working on, I still recommend adding a border, even if it is only 1 1/2" to 2 1/2" wide. If the edges of the quilts are what is showing in your photos, even an experienced quilter might have trouble putting on a binding that will be scalloped due to the shape of the blocks.
just my opinion :o)
Hello all- back again!
I have decided to start trying to quilt this and leave the decision of how to do the edge till later.
I now have a different query- being a first time hand quilter, I am really struggling to find a thimble that works for me. I am looking for one that has the deep dents at the top, and has a deep lip on the edge so that the needle doesn't slip off the thimble all the time. I have tried today, and given up with the ones I have. Now I am in New Zealand- have been to the local shops here to try and find this type of thimble and can't find one anywhere.
Could someone give me an online link of a craft shop in the US or Oz that I can buy one from please!
I have a daughter in both countries so shipping isn't an issue- but my attempts to keep some momentum up with this quilt isn't happening!
The push the needle through to the bottom and then up to the top, creating one stitch at a time = exponential light years to get any of it done!! :)
Hoping for some help here please
Thanks so much
If your daughter in the US goes to Joann Fabrics I am sure she will find just what you need.
Small world, you are in NZ and I have a son and family in Cambridge, NZ. They have been there about a year and half and are loving it. They have 3 young boys and are finding it a great place to raise a family.
Thanks Mary- indeed a very small world!! We are in CHCH - the shakey fallen down city. Cambridge is a lovely town - quite appealing atm for us! In fact anywhere but here is a draw card!
Is Joann Fabrics in LA? I will also look online and see if it comes up.
Very frustrating this - I have done about 10 stitches today on the quilt all singly done!! Very pretty, but slightly overwhelming if I can't find a faster way to effect the technique!!
Yes, it looks like there are a number of Joann Fabric Stores in LA.
I worry so much about earthquakes in NZ but I guess they are far enough north that they haven't felt anything. They arrived about 6 weeks after the big ones in CHCH.
Good luck with your handquilting, it does take practice and even with a thimble be prepared for sore fingers.
I've got a question about using coffee on a quilt to age it. The site I read that tip on didn't say how dark it would make the quilt, but it sounds like some of you have tried this technique, or have seen it done. How dark does the coffee make the quilt? Would using tea make for a lighter "aging" of a quilt? If some of you who have used either coffee or tea would provide your experiences, it would be great! I've thought about making a dresden plate quilt, and would like to age the quilt when I'm done. Any tips from those of you who've been there?
Tea will give you an aged, golden glow like an unbleached muslin. Coffee will probably look like the quilt was soaked in mud. Just sayin'.
Both will dull the colored prints used as well as aging the background muslin. But it will make it look like an old quilt and that can be fun. Be sure to use 100% cotton thread when quilting (not tie-ing) and wash/dry on hot. That will set the coffee or tea and will tend to shrink the quilting thread enough to give a bit of a pucker. This increases the look of age. The overall effect can be charming.
It's probably just a matter of preference but I would test out pieces of muslin with coffee and tea before doing a whole quilt. If you like the look of the coffee, go with that.
Kate, it sounds like the tea would give me the look I'm wanting. I want the quilt to look like it's been around for awhile, like maybe it was done by my grandmother, y'know? I don't mind the colored fabric looking a little bit dulled because that's what would happen over time, and if it looked brand new while the muslin looked ancient, that just wouldn't look right.
Thanks for the input!
