Latest Product Reviews For Smoker Liquid Concentrate Refill in Bottle
Preferred to over traditional smoker - Emma, 3 July 2012
We have recently started beekeeping, and I opted for this product, but my husband has persued the traditional smoker option. I'm normally out and about ready to inspect the bees by the time he's lit his smoker, and if not carefully placed, you end up getting a face full of smoke which can almost literally end in tears. There have been times where the smoker has either died down or gone out when we need it most, so in that respect I'd go for liquid smoke any day. It also seems to work just as quick as the smoker, but perhaps lasts a little longer as it evaporates rather than instantly dissipates. I'm all for tradition, but give this modern twist a chance.
does the job - Sophiemanners, 8 October 2011
We have not used alternative products so have no comparison but have found that this product does the job and are happy with our purchase.
Liquid concentrate - Sue, 14 May 2011
I misunderstood how this product worked - I have a traditional wooden hive so am not happy spraying a wet solution onto the wood and also I do not want to wet my bees with the solution. I thought the liquid concentrate was going to produce 'smoke' once mixed with water but sadly this wasn't so. I can however see it may be better used on the plastic 'Omlet' hives. The liquid concentrate certainly smells like smoke though! I will be interested to hear of any other bee keepers experience with this product.
Not as successful as real smoker, but less hassle - Stark, 21 April 2011
I have tried it once, it did not seem to move the bees down into the frames as quickly as real smoke. But it is a lot less hassle than lighting a smoker and relighting it once it has gone out before you have finished your inspection of your hives.
Love the concept but bees don't seem to be playing ball - Jeremy, 17 October 2010
I have used liquid smoke on 7 hives for a few weeks now. Six of the hives need minimal smoke or no smoke as the bees are really kind bees. The seventh hive is populated with the nastiest bunch you will ever meet and are a challenge. On this hive I usually use some smoke, I have switched to liquid smoke and it seems to irritate them. I'm still using it but deep down I think it doesn't work. But as I don't end up smelling like a kipper I am persevering with liquid smoke.

The United States' second largest fast food chain, Burger King, made an announcement in AP that as of 2017, the company will use cage-free eggs and pork. Other food corporations such as Costco and Wal-Mart have already transitioned their private-label eggs to be cage-free. McDonalds's and Wendy's are also making plans to shift to cage-free products but have no definite timeline. If large food companies, like Burger King, make such a bold change in their supply, do you think we will see a significant difference in farming practices? Let us know your opinion in the comment section below.

Stage Animal / The god of anxiety
Typical stage productions usually require dress rehearsals before their official premiere in order to do the final fine-tuning of what works and what doesn't. This fine-tuning mainly concerns nuances, not the main thrust. For a satirical performance, though, "what works and what doesn't" isn't a matter of nuances, but rather the main thrust itself. A performance that is entirely satire, or a kind of satirical cabaret (as opposed to stand-up monologues) is something quite rare in Israel as most satire in recent years (the past decade?) has been performed on television.
There, on TV, rehearsals don't actually occur: The broadcast is in fact the one and only time the material is tried out on a live audience. That is, putting aside the fact that the audience for a TV show is not live, even on a live broadcast. True, there may be a studio audience but most of the audience is not actually in the studio. Rather, it is at home with a finger on the remote. If it is angry or enjoying itself, agreeing or fuming - this is all evident in the ratings.
And here we have quite an astounding phenomenon, quite typical of Israel: Satirical shows can lash out at the right, the left, the center, the nation's sacred cows and its taboos - and their ratings are usually high. On the one hand, this might attest to the quality of the satirists as well as the reality in which we live, which is more hallucinatory than the wildest of satires. On the other hand, it might attest to the emotional apathy of an audience that no longer really gets upset about anything.
This is what was behind my decision to watch the first encounter between the show "Anxiety Disordered" and an audience last Thursday at Tzavta theater in Tel Aviv. On the one hand, this is another production in the Habimah repertoire, which according to the program will be performed about once a week, in a rather small hall (about 350 seats) described as a former "progressive culture club" identified with the left (Tzavta) - though for years now it has been a popular Tel Aviv complex of venues for various kinds of events.
On the other hand, the material was written by Ephraim Sidon and B. Michael, two writers from the legendary television show "Nikui Rosh" ("Cleaning the Head") - the other two writers were Kobi Niv and Hanoch Marmari, the editor and director was Mordechai Kirschenbaum.
In its day, "Nikui Rosh" raked in ratings of nearly 100 percent - because there was only one channel. But it is also remembered for its bite, daring and quality relative to its time. It was broadcast from 1974 to 1976 and aroused fierce objections from politicians and those striving good taste and consensus, but perhaps, in some sense, it helped spur the change of government in 1977. Not because it spared its rod from the right (on the contrary), but rather because it attacked - justifiably - the consensus that the ruling Labor Party thought it represented.
Laughing at ourselves
At any rate, the audience last Thursday looked like veterans of the left who had come to witness "Nikui Rosh" renew its glory days. They (and I) were there to see whether a satirical program can still annoy us and nevertheless make us laugh - we being not the extremists, but rather the apathetic moderate center that considers itself sane - and at the same time make us say to ourselves, like at the end of Nikolai Gogol's "The Inspector General": "What are you laughing at? You are laughing at yourselves."
Here, then, after the first show - and I am intentionally concentrating on the material, though I would gladly praise the performance as well - it can be said that the creators of "Nikui Rosh" have not lost their spark in the areas of writing and directing, and a worthy generation of actors has arisen to succeed the actors on the television show.
Part of the secret of the success of this satirical show, as with that television program, lies in the correct dosage of annoying the audience by means of bringing up a certain topic that is the subject of public controversy and taking it apart in a way that's so irritating it is funny. The objective is to prevent the audience from rising up against the performance in the hall itself (something Hanoch Levin didn't always manage to achieve), while at the same time preventing the audience from wallowing in pleasure and ignoring the messages that should continue to disturb it despite the laughter.
One clear and interesting example of this can be seen in the evening's opening number, a kind of Gospel tune (with excellent music composed by Keren Peles). In it, a preacher (played by Tomer Sharon) preaches and sings, backed up by a singing and moving chorus of three (Tali Oren, Yael Levental and Alon Neuman). The song details every reason to be anxious: the Iranian atom, swine flu, the economy, the settlements, poverty, violence and the Palestinians. In short, it is an enthusiastic anthem to the god of anxiety - of whom we have all become worshippers and to whom all of us are addicted.
From its title to its stage set (two bottles of Prozac - as one audience member who passed in front of me diagnosed - and bottles of pills in the background; there is no credit given to the set designer), the show is a diagnosis: The Israeli public suffers from anxiety, and this is its leaders' aim. The song ends with the preacher's acknowledgment: "And that's the way we want you."
I am prepared to agree with the diagnosis, and in this context it is perhaps worth considering that in recent books about two major Israeli writers, Amos Kenan and Nissim Aloni, the authors - Nurit Gertz and Sarit Fuchs, respectively - suggest they suffered post-traumatic stress disorder following the War of Independence. However, I am not convinced that the audience in the hall saw itself as suffering from any such disorder, and perhaps what is missing here is a verse that says this explicitly. It is clear, however, that Sidon, Michael and Kirschenbaum know how to sell the bitter pill to the patients - and make them like it.
Macabre humor
It is very tempting to detail skit after skit and rejoice in the funny bits, such as Dov Navon as an ultra-Orthodox man trying to organize the audience, separating women and men, sending away the impure - the homosexuals, whom he calls by the affectionate mock-Yiddish name alizkalech - and, among other things, asking with very naturally, "Are there any dead people here?"
It is equally tempting to recall the details of the skit in the office of the psychiatrist (Sharon), to whom Alon Neuman comes with the problem that, unlike those around him, he is not a racist; or to admire the monologue of the ultra-Orthodox settler woman (Levental) who sweetly tells the audience, "You people are for culture and we are for reproduction" (which is funnier in Hebrew as the combination of culture and reproduction is a play on words). There are also two very sharp sketches dealing with the occupation, another scene devoted to the rabbis' takeover of the Israel Defense Forces, and an excellent parody of Natan Alterman's song "Eliphelet" set to melody by Sasha Argov.
Interestingly, the audience evinces a great deal of patience for macabre humor. Skits and topics that, when sanely considered after the fact, should have elicited revolt, revulsion and shock, were greeted with thunderous laughter - among them a skit about the media looking for horrors or the hair-raising firing sketch.
However, it is perhaps most important to note the two final sketches. The first of them is a monologue delivered by a woman (brilliantly rendered by Tali Oren) who is a veteran of the demonstrations at Rabin Square marking the anniversary of Yitzhak Rabin's assassination. She explains to the audience her problem that with each successive year the crowd at the demonstration gets smaller: For how many years will one assassination be able to attract a crowd? she asks.
When the audience understands the inevitable answer, silence prevails because the answer is hard to digest. Everyone thinks, "What she is saying, in fact, is that we need another assassination," but is afraid to admit to himself that he is thinking this. The moment Oren is about to reveal this thought and even before the audience can express its shock, she (and the writers of the skit) move on to the practical question of the potential candidate for assassination who could bring masses out to the square. The appalled shock collapses into grim laughter: today there are no leaders "worth" assassinating. Even if just for the dynamic in the hall at this moment, it was worth putting on this show.
The final monologue is delivered by Alon Neuman, portraying someone fleeing from his own image in the mirror. He has trained himself not to believe anything, not to want anything, not to get angry about anything. He has also, by means of the remote control, trained the media not to deliver any reality to him or give him a hard time or force him to think. What scares him is the spark in his eye that is liable to extricate him from his apathetic tranquillity. This, until he manages to get inside the mirror, leaving the audience to deal with its own face reflecting back. Brilliantly, this satirical entertainment arrives at the place the character of Hamlet, in the play of that name, describes as "the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is to hold as 'twere the mirror up to nature, to show virtue her feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure."
This is the official ending of the show. The finale chorus, which parallels the opening Gospel number, affords Navon a brilliant moment as Moses rejoicing at not been allowed to enter the Promised Land as he knows what troubles it will bring.
On the way out, in my Kalnoit motorized cart, I followed two women from the audience down Ibn Gavirol Street (a handicapped person has the advantage of being invisible, able to eavesdrop undisturbed) and I apologize in advance for the discourtesy. They concluded that they had expected to be entertained more; they correctly classified the work as a show of the sane left. One of the women noted that there were also attacks on the sane left itself; the other agreed and thought there should have been more. She defined herself as leaning toward the sane left herself and started a sentence with "But" - but then the two stopped in front of the window of a shoe store.
As I moved off I heard them talking about Danny Ayalon and the Turkish ambassador; it seemed to me they thought that incident was at least as funny as the show. At least up until the shoe store. Can a satirical show in Israel today (with a Turkish film as the reality) hope for more?

I come from a close family and still am close to my siblings and parents. I'm from Nevada but have lived in Northern Virginia almost my entire life. My job takes up a lot of my time thus my free time is limited but I do have it. I'm not looking for a relationship off of the break (if you move fast, you're probably not my type). I'm a big fan of sarcasm so, if you're not, it's probably best you don't message me. I'm not big into television or movies. I love playing soccer, camping, boating, four wheeling, live sports events, concerts, and really anything outdoors. I'm a huge Philadelphia Eagle fan. Anything else you want to know, just ask.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Watching sports , Wine tasting

Department Optics and Photonics Year 2009 Semester 2 Degree Ph.D. Type of Document Doctoral Dissertation Language English Title The Optoelectronic Characteristics of Nitride-Based Light Emitting Diode Grown by Metal-organic Chemical Vapor Deposition Date of Defense 2010-06-04 Page Count 130 Keyword Blue LED Buffer layer GaN IPS LED Nano-rod GaN Abstract Through metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) to grow nitride-based materials, this dissertation mainly analyzes the characteristics of the nitride-based materials and optoelectronic semiconductor. The research focuses on GaN film and nitride-based blue LED, including advanced buffer layers, pendeo-expitaxy on nano-scaled template, and the development of nitride-based blue LED with the geometric sidewalls.
On one hand, we developed a double buffer layers- MgxNy/AlN. Judging from the result of X-ray analysis and Hall measurement, the high quality GaN could be obtained by the features of these buffer layers to reduce dislocation. Compared with GaN on conventional AlN buffer layer and MgxNy/AlN double buffer layers, the dislocation density of GaN film can be effectively reduced from 3.7×108 cm-2 to 9.0×107 cm-2 from the result of etching pits density (EPD).
On the other hand, we broke fresh ground in pendeo-expitaxy without lithographic process. We produced nano-rod GaN template (NR GaN template), with high aspect ratio by Ni as metal hard mask. By adjusting the growing condition, GaN was directly grown on NR GaN template without buffer layers. Judging from the result of Hall measurement and X-ray analysis, implementing pendeo-expitaxy to grow GaN film on the NR GaN template can acquire better quality. From result of EPD, the dislocation density of GaN film could be reduced to 1.9×108 cm-2 by using NR GaN template. In addition, the following experiment makes further research on n-GaN/MQW/p-GaN LED structure directly grown on the NR GaN template. This has been profited by saving growth time of buffer layer and unintentionally doped GaN layer when LED structure was grown on nano-rod GaN template. In terms of the optoelectronic characteristics, there are no obvious differences in electronic properties between NR LED and C LED. The forward voltage is around 3.30V under the electronic current at a 20mA injection; in the meanwhile, the output power of NR LED promotes about 39.8% more than the C LED. The main factor in enhancing the light output power is focused on light extraction and internal quantum efficiency. Not only does the growth of pendeo-expitaxy form the void between the GaN/sapphire interface which increases the effects upon light scattering for light extration, but also the efficiency of internal quantum in NR LED up to 16.9% higher than in C LED which is only about 14.9%.
Last but not least, we enhance the light extraction efficiency of LED by making changes in geometric structure of LED chip die. We applied the feature of high chemical activity of GaN N-face and developed wet etching without lithographic process to change the sidewall of LED chip die. After the chip process, LED was deposited with SiO2 as hard mask, and then soaked in the mixed acid H2SO4 : H2PO4 = 3 : 2 at 250 oC for four minutes. After this wet etching process, the edge of LED chip die was etched as inverted pyramid structure. Finally, the residue of SiO2 was removed by utilizing buffered oxide etchant (BOE) to complete the fabrication of inverted pyramid sidewalls LED (IPS LED). Compared to conventional LED, it was found that the light output power of IPS LED has enhanced about 27% through the measurement of light characteristics. To go a step further, with the help of Prof. Wu in National Central University, it was found that inverted pyramid structure performs better on confined photons judging from the simulation of by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD). This statistics 24 % is similar to the practical result which reaches to 27%. Further, by taking advantage of the measurement of light power density, a light rectangle was discovered around the edge of IPS LED chip die. The intensity of the light rectangle is obviously higher than the conventional LED. This result responds to the stimulated statistics as well as interprets that inverted pyramid structure can indeed enhance light output power.

Horse slaughters have Miami-area owners on edge
Horse thefts aren't unique to Miami-Dade County, but in other parts of the country, the horses are sometimes not seen again and it's tough to prove what happened to them, said Laura Bevan, director of The Humane Society of the United States' Eastern Regional Office. Not so here, where carcasses have turned up close to where horses were taken.
Until a few years ago, as many as 100,000 horses were killed annually in the United States for meat for foreign markets. In Florida, it is legal for horse owners to kill and eat their own horses on their own land, but horses cannot be slaughtered and sold to others for human consumption.
A 2007 federal court ruling closed the nation's last horse-processing plant, though some groups are currently pushing to renew the slaughter of horses in the U.S. Horses that are sold for meat are now sent to processing plants in Mexico and Canada.
In Miami-Dade, horse owners are still looking for answers. Two years have passed since Allen Owens' blue-eyed horse, Comanche, was found slaughtered in his stall. Owens' wife discovered the grisly scene in August 2007, when she went to feed the animal grain and hay at daybreak.
"As long as it's been since it happened, it just drags out really powerful emotions," he said. "I'm not a violent person, but you wouldn't believe what goes through your mind."
Owens believes thieves used a wheelbarrow to cart meat from the stable, out a wooden gate, past a red horse trailer, across another patch of land, and through a chain link fence before the reached a wooded area and a nearby roadway. Owens and his wife were left with Comanche's head and bones, which are now buried under a Florida Holly, a few feet from a round horse pen Owens fashioned out himself out of electric poles.
"It just was the most gruesome thing I had ever seen in my life," Owens said. "It's a memory that never goes away. I've learned to live with it, but it never goes away."

On one hand, the rising drinking among women is a sign of parity.
They also enjoy the privilege of "parity," which allows them to jump to the front of the line when placing orders.
We must not confuse progress in educational opportunity with parity.
1570s, "equality of rank or status," from Middle French parité (14c.) or directly from Late Latin paritas "equality," from Latin adjective par (genitive paris) "equal" (see pair (n.)). Meaning "condition in which adversaries have equal resources" is from 1955, originally in reference to the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R.
parity par·i·ty (pār'ĭ-tē)
The state of having given birth to an infant or infants.
storage, communications
An extra bit added to a byte or word to reveal errors in storage (in RAM or disk) or transmission. Even (odd) parity means that the parity bit is set so that there are an even (odd) number of one bits in the word, including the parity bit. A single parity bit can only reveal single bit errors since if an even number of bits are wrong then the parity bit will not change. Moreover, it is not possible to tell which bit is wrong, as it is with more sophisticated error detection and correction systems.
See also longitudinal parity, checksum, cyclic redundancy check.

Howell: Fiftieth birthday brings about the purchase of a camper
My 50th birthday three weeks ago was a game-changer. Leading up to the day, I found myself more reflective than usual, reminiscing about my life.
Midlife crisis? I don't think so. Unless God's plans for me include living to be 100 or so.
There comes a time (or two or three) in everyone's life when you take stock of who you are — not only who you are, but also who you aspire to be in the long run. The choices one makes in the present have a great impact on the outcome.
I know I've come a long way from the shy kid who hid behind her mom's skirts at church. Still, I realize I have much work to do before I am satisfied with the finished product.
Fifty is coming at me like a freight train barreling down the tracks. Thankful now for every day I get, I decide to embrace my age, give it a full body hug, and push forward. This accidental outdoor woman, who once viewed "roughing it" as being without a microwave and remote control, begins shopping for a recreational vehicle.
For those of you who know me, up close and personal, I'll give you a second to stop and wrap your head around that last sentence. After serious contemplation, I decide the next step in my journey to embrace the outdoors and immerse my boys in it is by purchasing a camper.
Stay with me here while I explain. Visiting Dinosaur Valley State Park in March started the whole process. Kids and families were having the times of their lives as we drove through the park. All were ensconced at the lovely campsites offered. We regret not bringing along our tent, pledging to do so next time.
Dining at the ranch's five-star restaurant that evening, we discuss the possibilities that only camping could bring. Up until that point, we have only tent camped a few nights, but were successful. As I cut into the lusciously-prepared steak on my plate, all I can think about is grilling hamburgers and hot dogs at a campsite, followed by s'mores over a fire.
Tent camping is fun, but I do not want to be in the great outdoors as a single mother with just a thin layer of canvas between me and nature. A bit of research also nixes the idea of a pop-up camper, for many of the same reasons.
But a bumper-pull camper, the next step up in the great big world of recreational vehicles, just might work. My pickup, inherited from my late husband, has both a V6 engine and a special towing package. Something in fiberglass just might fit the bill.
I consult two RV-owning couples for advice. One has camped for more than 50 years, currently camping in a fifth wheel. The other twosome, practically family, also owns a fifth wheel.
Picking their brains, I gather loads of helpful information. I visit different RV dealers, alone at first, to test the waters. I quickly feel comfortable with one, whose owner takes a personal interest in both helping me pick out the best selection for my towing vehicle and getting the best value for my money.
Long story short, I am now the proud owner of a bumper-pull camper. My first experience was towing it from Jolly to my home in Wichita Falls. Considering I've never towed anything in my life, I did pretty well. We've taken it out on a one-night test run, just to ensure I can handle it. Maneuvering it in campsites will take practice. In the meantime, friends are willing to help.
The best part of owning it? Sleeping in it, according to the boys. But the best part, in my opinion, is the whole new world that's opening up for us. We have three or more standing invites from friends, both old and new, to accompany them on upcoming excursions. Hanging out with camping pros will no doubt raise my confidence level quickly.
As my almost-81-year-old camping friend chuckles, "Gal, you done good. You've joined a whole new family of folks — folks that own RVs. You just stepped up in the world."
No midlife crisis here. Crazy? Well, maybe a little. But in this season of life, with a half century under my belt, I am ready. That little piece of fiberglass heaven, complete with both microwave and remote control, is just what the doctor ordered. Let the new adventures commence.
