"We'll be ready," the Huskies' new coach says of the 2014 season, which begins Aug. 30 at Hawai'i. Spring practices were inconclusive, but they helped build a foundation Petersen sees as essential to winning. "Sometimes talent can even be overrated. But unity and chemistry ... never overrated."

SEATTLE – When his first 15 practices as the new leader for Huskies football ended, Chris Petersen had his wit. And a smile.
The new coach was asked Saturday afternoon, on the field at Husky Stadium following the final practice of an expectedly inconclusive spring, to summarize this start of a new era at Washington. Oh, and please do it in one word.
"One word ... Can I use two?" Petersen asked, grinning.
"Hard work."
"I think the kids worked hard. The coaches worked hard," he said. "It's hard being new. It's hard to get lined up in stretch lines. It's hard to figure out what end of the field we practice on offensively and defensively. Everything is just hard.
"That's good. That's why we are here. That's why we came here, for that type of challenge. I think the kids responded well. Excited to go forward."
No, sorry, his two words weren't "quarterback found" or "all settled." That is what many Husky fans wanted to hear already – including Hall of Famer Warren Moon. UW's 1978 Rose Bowl MVP passer said Saturday on Pac-12 Networks while watching the final practice from the sideline and expressing excitement over the Petersen era: "Of course, we'd like to know who the starting quarterback is."
That wasn't going to happen. Not yet. Not with more than four months still to go before Keith Price's eventual replacement will start the opener Aug. 30 at Hawai'i. And not with two of the four quarterbacks expected to compete for the job in fall camp – suspended heir apparent Cyler Miles and incoming freshman K.J. Carta-Samuels – not practicing this spring. That left last Saturday's standout Jeff Lindquist and redshirt freshman Troy Williams as the only quarterbacks on the field.
"Our system's been introduced – in everything. In terms of how we lift weights, some of the things we believe in, our philosophies, how we are going to practice. That's all been established. And now we've got to get better at that. We've got to tighten up the details on everything we do."
By the way: No, Lindquist's and Williams' arms didn't fall off after making every throw for 15 practices -- though Williams admitted his was sore last month.
Petersen says the team remains "at square one" with the QB situation. He's also still searching for a new, primary running back and a pass-catching tight end now that Bishop Sankey and Austin Seferian-Jenkins are gone preparing for next month's NFL draft. Deontae Cooper and Darrell Daniels made strides to be those guys, but again nothing got settled there, either.
Instead, what the new coach and his staff accomplished in spring ball was much more fundamental and basic to the entire program. That's why hard work that was more important in these last six weeks than it's been in at least five years at UW, since Steve Sarkisian brought in his new system. Petersen is three months and 15 practices into installing his, the one that's gone 92-12 with two wins in the Bowl Championship Series while at Boise State the last eight seasons.
In his first three months at Washington the coach has established a foundation upon which his entire Huskies program will rise. He's done it with tough standards, strategic rewards, suspensions, in-practice diversions and the overarching emphasis on unity and fundamentals.
"With the way Coach Sark left in rush everyone was confused and whatnot," senior tight end Michael Hartvigson said. "But I definitely think over these last months everybody has been coming together really well.
"Coach Pete has a standard. He's more reserved. He's not going to get in your face. He more expects you to do it, rather than yell at you if you don't do it. Coach Pete, he's been coaching a while. He has an expectation of what a championship team is all about. He's coached in some of the biggest games. He has a sure image of what he expects – which is good."
How much is new?
Petersen was asked early in spring ball if he had made significant changes to any of the ways the Huskies operate.
"Yes," he said. "Every, single thing."
Petersen has even frowned on some of what was being served at the team's training table, as glib wide receiver Jaydon Mickens playfully rued.
"Yeah, we had some french fries but coach didn't like that too much," Mickens said, laughing. "Coach Pete, he didn't like that too much."
So, of course, the players are still adapting to all this change.
On the field, practices were often as Petersen warned at the outset they probably would be: ugly. The offense, even with its veteran line, wasn't in synch. The coach says the offense, defense and kicking game all needs to get more "detailed and consistent."
Again, good thing the real games don't start for another four months.
"We did all right. It's always hard having new coaches come in and obviously changing stuff around and whatnot," right tackle Ben Riva, one of the team's most respected leaders, said. "Different coaches want different things compared to the guys in the past. It takes a little time getting used to that; really, it took me all spring to finally figure out what these guys want."
Off the field, the Huskies are still learning, too.
"From the looks of it, everybody is starting to buy into the program," said Williams, who said he has no hard feelings that Petersen has replaced the coach and fellow Southern Californian that lured him to UW from Los Angeles two years ago.
"Coaches are still trying to get in good with the players, and it's just a good atmosphere. I like all the coaches, and building that bond is important."
Yet Petersen acknowledges he doesn't have all of the 82 players that were on the spring roster bonded with his staff just yet. That process takes more than three months and 15 practices.
"Are we all in on everything? I think we have some work to do, a ways to go there," he said. "But we've been pleased with their attitude. There has been nothing where they are saying, 'Oh, we don't want to do this.' I think they want to win. I think they want to come together as a team. They get that. When we do that we will start making progress."
Petersen's suspensions of Miles and Damore'ea Stringfellow indefinitely plus two-time defensive captain John Timu for two weeks last month showed his line has a sharp edge. Allowing co-captain, sack leader and 3.53-GPA student Hau'oli Kikaha to study in the south Pacific from January into March instead of attend offseason conditioning sessions showed he also rewards anyone who exceeds his standards.
"We've got the structure," Petersen said. "Our system's been introduced – in everything. In terms of how we lift weights, some of the things we believe in, our philosophies, how we are going to practice. That's all been established. And now we've got to get better at that. We've got to tighten up the details on everything we do.
"That's the difference to everything; it's the details. We are not detailed enough. So that's where we've got to go moving forward."
Did I mention he and his staff are into unity and details?
When Jonathan Smith, the new quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator, didn't have Lindquist and Williams making every pass and hand off in practices he had his quarterbacks diving onto tackling pads and turning their shoulders away from the defense to perfect the skill of ... recovering fumbles.
At the end of each practice Petersen had the entire team running sideline-to-sideline sprints, 106 yards each. When they finished the gasping guys gathered to stand, shoulders heaving, around their head coach on the W in the middle of the field. On Petersen's command, the players were to then clap once and take the same knee to listen to his post-practice message.
At the first practices the Huskies didn't always get that mental-acuity-while-tired task down in total harmony. So they had to run extra sprints until they did.
"We've got a lot of work to do, in all phases of our program. The culture is not going to all change in two months, three months. But I think they are paying attention. It's always a work in progress."
By last week, they looked more like a precise, disciplined military outfit at the end of their workouts. And they weren't running extra sprints anymore.
"There's a lot of new energy, you know?" Petersen said. "There are a lot of things that we kind of took for granted back where I came from, and here we can't take anything for granted. We've got to re-coach every, single thing.
"It's in some ways refreshing. And in some ways we have to kind of shake our heads and say, 'That's on us. We haven't coached that part of it. How would they know that?'"
Inside the football operations center Petersen, his director of football operations Mike McHugh and the staff have assigned Huskies of different backgrounds to lockers next to each other. Hartvigson is from Bothell, Wash., a Seattle suburb of 33,500 people that was 79.7-percent white and 1.6-percent African-American in the 2010 U.S. Census. Hartvigson's locker neighbor was sophomore wide receiver John Ross. He is from the urban center of Long Beach, which is second only to Los Angeles in L.A-area population with 426,000 residents. Ross went to Long Beach Jordan High School, which is 97-percent non-white.
That's how 80 other Huskies are learning about each other's families and backgrounds and likes while in the locker room.
That's a glimpse of how Petersen plans to take Washington from four consecutive bowl appearances to championships.
"I think to have a really, really good team, talent is not enough. Sometimes talent can even be overrated. But unity and chemistry and those type of things: never overrated," the only two-time winner of the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award as the national coach of the year said.
"I think we've all been on teams that came together, fought together – and had great experiences. I think we've all been on teams that had talent – and didn't do anything. So we believe strongly in it. And we will always work on it."
Now comes an important and often overlooked part of a football team's year. Coaches are prohibited by NCAA rules to be on the field with players from now until fall camp starts in early August. So it's up to Riva, Kikaha and fellow team leaders to reinforce these lessons of football fundamentals and team unity in player-led workouts for the next 3½ months.
"There's a lot of work to be done, they know that. We can't coach them anymore until August, so they are going to have to get a lot of things done on their own," Petersen said. "That's going to show what type of leadership we have here. That's a huge component.
"I think the really good teams have a little bit of leadership to get some things done."
So beyond the inconsistent play, what did he see this spring in a team that is returning eight starters on offense and eight on defense after it finished 9-4 last season?
"I did like their attitude. I think we do have some talent," Petersen said. "We've got some good players. We've got some tough guys, as well. So I'm excited to work with these guys and go forward.
"We've got a lot of work to do, in all phases of our program. The culture is not going to all change in two months, three months. But I think they are paying attention. It's always a work in progress.
"We'll be ready."

Forget Twitter, Tumblr and the other social networks that have your kids sinking deeper into your couches. Now, thanks to a new partnership between Catholic Charities CYO and the Coca-Cola Foundation we are offering FitnessGrams and other fitness services to promote health – not to mention movement – among our parish youth.
The impact, not to mention the number of youth served, will be revolutionary. More than 24,000 children ages 5 through 17 from 225 parishes throughout the Archdiocese of New York will receive regular "FitnessGrams,"* updates that track their improved health thanks to a program funded by the Coca-Cola Foundation and incorporated by CYO. We already have participation in 100 schools stretching from the southern tip of Staten Island to Liberty, NY, 125 miles away.
CYO has provided meaningful, organized activities that engage our children in competitive sports for over 75 years. Now, thanks to this Coca-Cola grant, we have the means to provide feedback to children and their parents that participation in CYO sports serves as a foundation to lifelong fitness/wellness habits. It adds value to participation in CYO sports by making it clear that CYO is more than just sports. It is fitness.
Our participant pool that ranges from kindergarten to high school seniors already shows a meaningful impact in this first year of the three-year program. It proves that it is never too early to start educating about the importance of fitness or too late to make the change to a healthy lifestyle. The program has reinvigorated physical education teachers' and school principals' push in stressing the importance of healthy living.
CYO also plans to offer a lifestyle expert to educate 2,000 head coaches, 225 parish coordinators and seven CYO county directors about the key role nutrition on plays on healthy development.
Finally, FitnessGram assessments – already part of the Presidential Youth Fitness Program — will assess participants' fitness levels, report the results to students, parents and administrators and educate our community on the importance of everyday activity and life-long health and fitness.
Yes a FitnessGram. Don't be surprised when you hear from us soon.

Starting this week, visitors to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, will be able to see a new addition to the Rock Hall's Michael Jackson collection: an outfit worn by the King of Pop early in his Jackson 5 days.
I clearly remember the first time I saw this newest addition to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's collection. I got an extreme close-up look at Michael's orange, yellow and red ensemble, with my nose inches from the television screen. I was watching the Jackson 5's second television special, which aired on November 5, 1972. Michael and his brothers wore a succession of colorful, fashionable, individualized yet coordinated outfits on the television special.
The warm, saturated colors, double-knit fabric, turtleneck and bellbottom design of this particular outfit were the apogee of early 1970s hip fashion, seen on fashion runways from couturiers like Halston and Yves St. Laurent, accessible and readily adaptable for the ready-to-wear market.
The stylish turtleneck top of the outfit with the heart-embellished "J5" logo is actually a body suit – clearly a necessity to accommodate Michael's athletic dancing. Michael was growing up fast, but ...

While much work still remains to be done to understand the causes of breast cancer and to develop new tests to detect and diagnose the disease, medical researchers have made significant advances in the fight against breast cancer.
Advances in breast imaging – digital mammography, ultrasound and MRI – enable doctors to find tumors before a palpable lump can be felt. Research conducted over the past 20 years has also enabled scientists to better understand that there are different types of breast cancer, and develop new diagnostic tests to enable more targeted and individualized breast cancer therapies.
Because of such advances, five-year survival rates after a breast cancer diagnosis have improved from an average of 70% in 1992 to greater than 85% today for those with access to care. For breast cancers caught early, five-year survival odds can now be greater than 95%. Although this progress is exciting, there is still a new diagnosis every three minutes.
Below are some preventative tips that you can take now to help reduce your breast cancer risk.
- Reduce alcohol use– Regular consumption of one or more drinks a day for women is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.
- Watch your weight– Being overweight is linked to a higher risk of breast cancer, especially after menopause. It is best to stay at a healthy weight, eat more vegetables and fruits, and limit your consumption of red meats.
- Reconsider hormone replacement therapy– Use hormone replacement therapy only if absolutely necessary, use for as short a time as possible, and discuss alternatives with your doctor.
- Don't smoke or quit smoking– Tobacco smoke is a known human carcinogen and is an established risk factor for lung cancer. Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke should be avoided.
- Examine your family history – Your risk is increased if a family member has had breast cancer, especially if a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) is diagnosed before the age of 50. Speak with a nurse, doctor or your medical provider about your breast cancer risk and additional steps you can take to reduce your risk.
- Get some exercise– Brisk walking for one hour a day can your reduce risk by more than 15%. The American Cancer Society recommends you engage in at least 45 minutes of physical activity at least 5 days a week. If you're looking for ways to get some exercise while fighting breast cancer, consider signing up for an Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. There are six walks remaining in 2012, including: Chicago (June 2-3), Rocky Mountains (June 23-24), San Francisco (July 7-8), Santa Barbara (September 22-23), New York (October 20-21), Charlotte (October 27-28). And it's not too early to sign up for a 2013 Walk. I'm pleased to offer a $10 registration discount for More.com readers. When registering at www.avonwalk.org, just enter the code "WALK2″ at checkout to receive the discount.

I think God also breaks that law as well as a few other, Ripdos.
I think God also breaks that law as well as a few other, Ripdos.
Actually it's perfectly plausible. Virtual particles (you can google it just fine on your own) are essentially incredibly small particles of matter that are created spontaneously with essentially no fuel, and as such they can be created in a vacuum. Now, you have to understand, these things are so small and fleeting that we cannot even see them, just their energy traces. However, it is possible that if in the pre-big bang vacuum of space, there would be enough virtual particles in one place at the same time to create enough friction to spark something big bang-esque. Of course, the possibility of this happening is very small, but when you have infinity to mess around with, it's going to happen eventually. Thus, science explains the big bang theory of non-living creation just fine.
Nocturne finally made a good point. *Pat on back*
Then I'm running this computer of of a perpetual motion machine.
It needs to use no fuel at all or you would then have to explain where these particles and fuel come from.

Results tagged ' Baker Bowl '
My Thoughts On Target Field
Quick recap:
Since my last blog, the Twins got caught by two hot pitchers in Boston (Bucholz/Lester), then righted the ship by beating up on the Brew Crew over the weekend (taking two of three and coming within a big hit of sweeping).
About three weeks ago, though, I saw my first two games at Target Field…
…and never really commented on the experience. Although I loved the experience and thought that the new digs put the Metrodome to shame, there was just something about it where I couldn't gush over our new home too much. I think I may have finally figured it out.
In the old days, ballparks were built with all kinds of quirks that made them stand out. Some examples:
Polo Grounds: Almost 500 feet to center field (which featured a garage in the field of play!), and just 250 ft. down the lines (picture a giant horsehoe).
Ebbets Field: A crazy little nook out in center field, a huge wall in right, with band-box dimension all around.
Baker Bowl: ENORMOUS brick wall out in RF that puts even Boston's Green Monster to shame!
LA Coliseum: Just look at the picture!
Old Yankee Stadium: Monuments and flagpoles IN PLAY; centerfield almost 500 feet deep.
Then, after going through the terrible cookie-cutter stadium movement of the 1980s (Veterans Stadium, Skydome, Astrodome, etc.), ballparks started to improve in fan amenities, but (for the most part) those little quirks/nuances had disappeared. In the past few years, there are only a few stadiums I can recall that really spark my interest:
Wrigley Field: Ivy, brick walls.
Fenway Park: Green Monster, Pesky Pole
Minute Maid Park (?; that's the name I'll always remember it as!): CF slope, neat LF architecture.
And, dare I say it…
Metrodome: Vampire seats, Baggie
Basically, my point is this: I really like stadiums with distinct visual features, and I feel as if Target Field is a bit lacking in that area. Besides the patches of Limestone and HD scoreboard (but that doesn't really count), it feels like "any other great ballpark". Kind of a double standard, I know, but I guess I am more than a bit of a sentimentalist towards those "good old days" of quirky baseball stadiums.
Preview (26-18, 1st, 1.0 GA DET): AJ Burnett (4-2, 3.86) vs. Scott Baker (4-4, 4.88). Time to create a little bit of new history against the Yanks? I hope so.

Chief Curator Jim Henke talks to Bruce Springsteen
This is the fifth clip in a series of eight interview audio clips with Springsteen that we will post over the next several weeks.
In this portion of my interview, Bruce Springsteen talks about his most famous guitar, his Fender Esquire. Bruce purchased the guitar – which is a hybrid of a Fender Esquire neck and a Fender Telecaster body — shortly after he signed with Columbia Records in 1972. The became iconic after it was featured on the cover of Born to Run and, in recent years, fans would applaud when Springsteen put it on and played it in concert. The guitar was most recently played at the Super Bowl earlier this year. Much to the surprise of virtually everyone in his camp and at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Bruce himself thought the guitar should be included in our exhibit. One morning when I came into work, I got an e-mail from Toby Scott, Bruce's recording engineer and the person in the Springsteen organization who was working to help me create the exhibit. "You're not going to believe this, and we can't believe it," Toby wrote, "but Bruce wants you to have the Esquire." To say the least, I was delighted. The guitar is so valuable that, when Bruce was on the road, the guitar rode with him and not with the other instruments. Special arrangements had to be made to get the guitar to Cleveland. Kevin Buell, Springsteen's longtime guitar tech, personally flew the guitar to Cleveland and said that I had to be at the Hall of Fame when he arrived so that he could personally turn it over to me. "I'm not handing this guitar to someone I don't know," Kevin said. We are very grateful that Bruce wanted to include the guitar in the exhibit, and it is displayed on the sixth floor of the Hall of Fame, smack in the center of a wall covered with several of Bruce's guitars.

Saudi Arabia's telecommunications sector is growing at a remarkable rate. Facilities and services are constantly being expanded to accommodate the Kingdom's growing market.
The Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology oversees all modern communications technologies in the Kingdom.
The major provider in Saudi Arabia is the partially privatized Saudi Telecommunications Company (STC), one of the largest telecom services operators in the world. A second company, Mobily, also provides mobile phone service.
The Kingdom's landline telephone system is modern and efficient, using extensive microwave radio relay, coaxial cable, and fiber-optic cable systems. In 2000, 2.9 million lines were available, and Saudi Telecom is expanding its network to 4 million lines. Seven standard earth stations link up with the Intelsat Satellite System.
Mobile phones are extremely popular in Saudi Arabia. In 2002, there were more than 5 million mobile phones in use in the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia's mobile telephones operate on the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), one of the leading digital cellular systems used all over the world.
Internet usage is growing rapidly in Saudi Arabia. More and more lines are being provisioned for Internet access to accommodate increasing demand, including high-speed service such as DSL. According to a 2003 Zogby poll, nearly two-thirds of Saudis have Internet access.
The Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) supervises all operations of the Kingdom's Internet sector. CITC also helps Saudi families own personal computers and access the Internet through the Saudi Home Computing Initiative.
Saudi Arabia also sends satellites into space. In 2006 alone, the Kingdom plans to launch six Saudi-built satellites for communication and observation. The King Fahd Satellite Communications City in Jeddah is the largest such complex in the Middle East. It is also the ground station for Arabsat, the leading communication satellite in the Arab world.
The second Arabsat satellite was launched on June 17, 1985 with the help of Saudi Payload Specialist Prince Sultan bin Salman – the first Arab and Muslim to travel to space – during his mission onboard the US space shuttle Discovery.

Health Equity Office
The vast and perpetual strength of North Dakota lies in its ability to take care of its citizens. The state's long-term investment in health has been rewarded in more ways than one with its promotion of a Healthy North Dakota initiative that began in 2002. The initiative brings a certain amount of pride in knowing any progress in health care will increase a person's life span and improve upon the quality of life for all citizens of North Dakota. However, when one measures progress on a health-care scale, it's recognized that certain disparities appear in the health and welfare of certain segments of the population. For instance, not all North Dakotans enjoy health and health-care equity. With the growing Native American, immigrant, refugee and migrant populations, the state is developing a diverse society of extensive cultural, educational, economic and language differences that may hamper the ability of some groups to participate in the improvements of health enjoyed by many in the state.
Health disparities efforts began in the1990s to coincide with the national emphasis on health. The movement for healthier North Dakotans began with the Department of Health taking steps that recognized and created strategies to provide awareness of inequities in health and access. Governor John Hoeven, in 2002, declared health to be one of six pillars of his plan for North Dakota. This declaration helped certain groups to take the lead to address health disparities. In the North Dakota Department of Health, a disparities work group was formed with membership from three state agencies: the North Dakota Department of Health, the Office of Indian Affairs Commission, and the North Dakota Department of Human Services. The disparities work group mission was to "provide leadership to raise the awareness of and to eliminate health disparities affecting North Dakota citizens." The definition of health disparities the members to which agreed is described in this comprehensive statement that allows the inclusion of additional groups as they are identified: "Health disparities in North Dakota are defined as inequalities in health status, utilization or access due to structural, financial, personal or cultural barriers."

Hello everyone! We're David & Sheri Burns, husband and wife duo and beekeeping gurus. Where else will you find a better looking couple to help you become a great beekeeper? If good looks aren't enough, look at how hard we work to put the best bees and best products in your hands. If that's not enough what about David being one of only two EAS certified master beekeepers in Illinois. Thanks for letting Long Lane Honey Bee Farms be the place that meets all your beekeeping needs.
Welcome to Long Lane Honey Bee Farms Online Lessons! Visit our MAIN WEBSITE AT: http://www.honeybeesonline.com We have a complete line of hives that we build right here in Illinois. We offer classes, sell queens and much more. Give us a call at: 217-427-2678. Our hours are: M-Th 10am-4pm, Fri 10-Noon Central Time.
So many of our first year customers extracted honey from their hives their first year. This is somewhat unusual. We tell most customers not to expect much their first year because the colony is using a large portion of their incoming nectar to produce wax. It takes 8 pounds of nectar to produce 1 pound of wax. However, their second year, after their comb is built more incoming nectar can be stored in honey supers. But, if all conditions are right, a first year hive can produce a large surplus of honey.
Let me take you step by step through the whole process of taking the honey out of the hive all the way through to putting it in the jar.
MAKE SURE IT IS CAPPED (RIPE)Honey bees ripen nectar by removing the moisture and when the moisture level is to their satisfaction, they seal it off with wax, like putting a lid on a jar. This prevents the honey from drawing any additional moisture. You must be patient and wait for the bees to cap the honey comb before you remove it. If you remove the super of honey prior to it being sealed your moisture level in the honey will be too high and could cause the honey to ferment which will cause your customers to complain and want their money back. So do not remove the honey combs until all frames are completely capped. If you pull out the frames prior to the caps being completely sealed, you can leave the frames in a room with a dehumidifier for a day or two and it will draw out moisture.
There are several ways this can be accomplished and no single way is better. It's simply a matter of what fits your style. So here are the most common ways:
a) Brush the bees off each frame.
I did this when I first started with bees. I'd walk out to the hive with 10 frames in a medium super and I'd take two top covers. I would lay the first top cover on the bed of my truck upside down. Then, I would place my empty super into the top cover. Then, I would take out the 10 empty frames and set them aside. I would remove one frame of honey at a time, from the hive and brush the bees off, then place it in the empty super in the truck. I would place my second top cover on the super box to prevent robbing. I would repeat these steps until I had brushed all the bees off all 10 frames. I would then place the new frames where I had removed the frames filled with honey to allow the bees to start drawing out the foundation.
b) Blow the bees out of the super.
As our operation expanded I would load my air compressor into my truck with a generator to run it. I would open up a hive, and set the honey super on top of the hive on it's front side. Then I would use my air compressor to blow off all the bees. The bees would land out in front of the hive and go back into the hive. This is the method that still works best for me.
You can use a leaf blower if you do not have an air compressor.
c) Use bee escapes which allow the bees to exit but not re-enter. Featured below are the three most common bee escapes, the triangle, conical and Porter escape.
The triangle bee escape board goes under the honey super and bees leave, but find it impossible to go back in through the maze.
Conical bee escapes work the same way, as this board goes under the super and the bees exit the small, red conical tubes but can re-enter. The side pictured faces down.
This Porter escape was invented by Mr. Porter in 1891 and fits into the inner cover oval hole. Bees exit but cannot re-enter.
Be aware that once these devices remove all the bees from your supers, the small hive beetle now has free reign throughout your honey supers. If you live in areas where SHB is well established, which is about everywhere now, you may be wise to use escape boards sparingly.
Another common method to get the bees out of your super is to use a fume board. a fume is placed on top of the super with a little chemical poured onto the fabric on the fume board. This chemical has many names, but it's either Butyric Acid or Benzaldehyde which is a chemical that the bees do not like nor does any human who hates the smell of vomit. The bees run out of the super to get away from the bad smell and the super is empty within 5 minutes. If the beekeepers spills some on their clothes, they can empty out the nearest coffee shop in 5 minutes too! Many love this easy method. I'm skeptical of the product being absorbed into the wax or honey and having an overall effect on the hive. However, smarter people than me have reassured me that these chemicals quickly evaporate.
Honey from specific flowers does have a different taste. I would not begin to describe the difference but believe me it is different. Here's how to harvest specific honey. Essentially you must remove your honey supers after that particular flower stops giving nectar, and place new supers on before the bees change to a different source. This way, the honey will not be mixed from different sources. Of course, some mixing may happen, but you'll get more of the type that had the largest nectar flow.
Here's a picture of a frame that has a combination of light honey, and dark honey in the same frame. Sometimes a honey super may have contained a small amount of brood, but it appears more in the center in a circle starting at the bottom center of the frame.
Although this frames contains honey from two different sources, the dark honey is too small to extract separately so the two are combined. If you were going to enter your light honey in a contest, you should avoid a frame like this because the darker honey will darken the overall appearance ever so slightly.
Here's a picture of Jesse using a hot knife to cut off the cappings. We sell "hot" electric uncapping knives as well as cold uncapping knives. Notice what the sealed area looks like. The capped area is white because the newly made wax is a bright color at first. As it ages through the years it becomes darker. Once the comb is uncapped, the honey can be extracted. If you do not have an extractor, a frame can be left upside down to drip out over night. This method requires a warm/hot room, atleast 80 degrees. Let one side drain, then reverse so that the other side of the frame can drain as well. You can squeeze or crush out the honey from the comb, but this destroys precious drawn comb that you could reuse and it mixes in too much wax with the honey. Once uncapped, place your frames in an extractor and spin the honey out. You can purchase a very simple plastic extractor for just over $100 but a more common extractor is a stainless steel hand crank 2 frame extractor for just over $300. This is our best seller. If you can afford a little more, then a 4 frame extractor does 4 frames at a time. Once the honey is extracted out of the comb it collects in the bottom of the extractor which has a value on the bottom. At this point, you can bottle it, although you'll have pieces of wax, bee legs and wings and other things that came off your frames. So most beekeepers strain their honey. Straining is different than filtering. We use a 400 micron strainer. These might be referred to as filters, but they are really strainers.We sell a lot of these nylon strainers that fit down over a 5 gallon bucket. These strainers are $8 and can be washed and reused over and over again. The honey flows very fast through these strainers and important elements of the honey are allowed to stay within the honey but foreign particles are strained out. Filtering honey usually involves warming the honey and pushing it through very fine commercial filters. Some larger processors heat their honey and filter every grain of pollen from the honey so that the country of origin cannot be traced. In other words, there are some flora sources unique to particular countries, and pollen is often tested from imported honey so that illegally imported honey can be stopped. As a result, a large amount of honey purchased in larger stores has no traces of pollen. This is very unfortunate, which makes many of us suspect that America is still importing illegal honey. Read the entire story… We are okay heating honey to 90-95 because often the internal temperature of the hive is maintained at these temperatures. However, flavor and some nutrients are lost at temperatures above 140 (f) Honey does not need to be heated to be pasteurized. It is a pure and natural product and the only raw food that never spoils. It does not need refrigerated and can be kept at room temperature forever without spoiling. We like our honey to be free of air bubbles. So we allow our honey to sit after it has been strained. It sits for at least one week. Then we bottle it. Our settling tank allows all air bubbles to float up to the top. Then we drain from the pure honey at the bottom of the tank. You can do the same in a 5 gallon bucket with a valve on the bottom which we sell too. Most honey will become hard, known as crystallized. This is normal and does not mean the honey is bad. It means it simply crystallized. This can be remedied simply by leaving a jar in warm water or using a mildly heated double boiler.
Keep a clean honey room. One drop of honey on the floor soon gets tracked all over the place. It is a messy job, but fortunately honey cleans up easily with water. So, after you are finished harvesting your honey, clean up all your equipment. Since honey is a natural product and all you are doing is bottling it, there are very little guidelines in most states. Check with your state and county for honey preparation. Here in Illinois, we passed legislation in January so that beekeepers can bottle up to 500 gallons of honey without inspections and permits. Since you will be giving away your honey or selling it, here are some common practices you should follow. Wear a hairnet, clean clothes, keep your hands clean and properly wash all equipment including bottles. Use good judgment. BOTTLING HONEYBottles are expensive. We use a combination of glass and plastic bottles. Many of our customers enjoy the small well liked teddy bear bottles. Bottles must be cleaned well and dry, free of any foreign objects and dust. A common bottle for us to sell is the quart jar. Most of our customers buy the one quart size and the traditional canning jar with canning lid is very cost effective.

In Marathon Match, Loyola Marymount Defeats @PrincetonTennis Women 4-3
Nearly five hours after taking the court in Los Angeles, the Princeton women's tennis team came up just short to Loyola Marymount in a battle of two ITA-ranked teams.
No. 62 Princeton won the doubles point and needed to win at least three singles matches, but those were tough to come by. No. 75 LMU won the first two singles matches to be decided to pull ahead 2-1. Lindsay Graff had a win at first singles to make it 2-2, but a win at second singles for the Lions put Princeton on the brink.
Katherine Flanigan won her match in three sets to keep Princeton's chance of victory alive, and the focus shifted to court five, where Emily Hahn had won the first set over LMU's Kristine Kouyoumjian. Despite that, Kouyoumjian rallied with 6-4 wins in each of the last two sets to come up with the clinching fourth point for the Lions.
The match was Princeton's lone contest on the spring trip, and the Tigers will open Ivy League play at Penn next Saturday.

Mainland China Travel guide
Mainland China : Michelin's recommendations
With 18,000km of coastline, over 5,000 islands and a population of 1.3 billion, Mainland China is the cradle of Chinese civilisation. In the north, the plains of Inner Mongolia, the Gobi Desert, the snow-capped peak of Changbaishan and the high plateaux of Xinjiang contrast with the luxuriance of the southern provinces, the karstic peaks of Guilin and Guizhou, the majesty of the Yellow Mountains and the gentle beauty of mountainous Yunnan.
China's immensity goes hand in hand with its cultural diversity, the Chinese themselves differentiated between noodle-eating Northern China and Southern China where rice is the staple. The presence of 55 ethnic minorities, along with the Han majority, accentuates this diversity.
Beijing, capital and cultural hub of the PRC, is a must for first-time visitors. The Forbidden City of the emperors stands in the heart of Beijing Opposite Tiananmen Square, presided over by Mao''s huge mausoleum. The breathtaking Temple of Heaven, renowned for its elegant blue rooftops, is one of the capital's iconic symbols. North of the city, the Great Wall is a reminder of past battles against barbarian invaders, ultimately absorbed by the empire. The hutong, the traditional narrow streets of Old Beijing, composed of siheyuan, the famous houses built around square courtyards, provide a fascinating insight into imperial and revolutionary history.
Shanghai is the gateway to the prosperous Yangtze River Basin. A mere fishing port in the early 19th Century, the city now showcases 21st Century China, bristling with skyscrapers around the former French concession. At night, the lights of Shanghai glimmer opposite the Bund, the famous promenade along the Huangpu River.
From urban break to nature retreat, to glimpses of bygone grandeur or futuristic curiosities, you can pick from a vast choice of possibilities to make your trip to China a unique experience.

PDN Video Pick: Making an Award-Winning Story of One Woman's Resilience
Ora DeKornfeld, a communications major at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, won first prize for her video "Sensei" in the Multimedia Feature category of the 2014 Pictures of the Year International competition. Brilliantly shot and edited, DeKornfeld's video tells the powerful story of a rape victim's survival, resilience and determination. DeKornfeld explains how she won her subject's trust, found a way to portray events in the past through evocative imagery, and produced a tight, dramatic narrative.
PDN: What was this project was for? How did it get started?
Ora DeKornfeld: That project was made as a final documentary piece for a journalism class. The assignment was to make a vérité documentary. It was a challenge for us to [record] something actually happening, instead of fully relying on B-roll over interview audio. My professor [Chad Stevens] assigned the project knowing that was unrealistic, so this project deviated greatly from that initial assignment, but that's how it started.
PDN: How did you find this subject, and how get her to open up?
OD: I went to this neighborhood in Durham (North Carolina)–a pretty dynamic low-income neighborhood, and I saw a flyer for self-defense classes and that's something I have always been personally interested in, and I wanted to do a piece that touched on women's issues. So I called the number and ended up talking to Brenda, the subject, and she was immediately open. She told me that the reason she got into martial arts was because she was a victim of a violent crime. I didn't push that at the time, but it was an immediate indicator that she had a real deep experience that motivated her. So I said, would it be OK if I made a documentary about you? She was really open to it.
I went to her karate class on Tuesday and Saturday for two weeks, then I asked if I could come to her house, meet her family and start hanging out with her there. And I kind of just stayed until she said, "OK, Ora, you need to get out of my house." But through that experience we bonded. (more…)

Baseball Wins Season Series vs. Penn, Sweeps Quakers Sunday
Box Score: Game One
Box Score: Game Two
The Princeton baseball team took over sole possession of second place in the Gehrig Division by winning the season series versus Penn. The Tigers swept the Quakers Sunday, easily commanding a 7-1 game one victory, before needing 10th inning Alec Keller heroics to finish off Penn 7-6.
The extra inning victory marks the first of the year for Princeton and is its second Ivy series win on the year.
Turning Point of the Game: First inning offensive success propelled the Tigers to their 7-1 game one victory. With the first two batters reaching on hits, Penn committed consecutive errors to open Princeton's scoring. An Alex Flink sacrifice fly and a Nate Baird RBI single put the Tigers up 3-0 and it would be enough to carry them for the remainder of the game. Princeton managed to add four insurance runs, while Mike Ford pitched a two-hitter.
After leading 6-3 entering the ninth in game two, things unraveled for starting pitcher Cameron Mingo. The freshman got the first two batters out, but the next four would reach to open a three-run inning for Penn.
With things knotted 6-6 and two outs in the top of the 10th, Keller sent the game-winning home run over the center field fence to put Princeton up for good, 7-6. Reliever Danny Thomson worked around a two-out walk to close out the game.
Player of the Game: Mike Ford was nearly flawless in game one, as he went seven strong to guide the Tigers to a 7-1 complete game victory. The righty retired Penn's first 12 batters, before giving up two hits and a run in the fifth. It would be the only inning Penn put base runners on.
Along with improving to 4-0 at the plate, Ford finished the day 3-for-7 with four runs, four RBI and two walks. In the series finale, he hit a double in the first and a two-run bomb in the sixth to put the Tigers up 6-2.
Pitcher of the Game: Sophomore reliever Thomson earned his first career victory in game two. After Princeton conceded its lead in the bottom of the ninth, the righty got out of the frame forcing a pop out for the final out. He tossed the 10th, tallying a strikeout and a walk. Thomson went 1.1 hitless innings to improve to 1-2 on the year.
Batter of the Game: When the Tigers needed a clutch at-bat it was Keller who delivered. The team's leadoff batter slammed a two-out solo home run over the center fielder fence to prop Princeton to a 7-6 lead in the 10th in game two.
The center fielder went 4-for-9 with three runs, two RBI and a walk on the day.
Honorable Mention: Despite coming up with the no decision, game two starter Mingo held his own until the ninth. He finished tossing a season-high seven strikeouts. Mingo had limited the Quakers to five hits and one earned run prior to the ninth, and finished going 8.2 innings with eight hits, four earned runs and two walks.
Gehrig Division Breakdown: Princeton improves to 11-21, 8-4 Ivy with the Sunday sweep. Columbia is amidst its series finale versus Cornell and sits in first place at 8-3 in the division.
On Deck: The Tigers head to St. John's for a final non-conference road game on Wednesday, Apr. 17 at 6 p.m. in Queens, N.Y. Following the midweek meeting, Princeton hosts a four-game series versus Columbia at Clarke Field from Apr. 20-21.

We all applaud you Governor -- good work! Having the right to live where you want is fundamental to a free society. So is the right to work where you want to, but that's a battle for another day...Hide replies
I also believe us Milwaukee residents have the fundamental right to require those of who choose to work for the city (and its a choice) to have residency. Further, I believe, as suggested above, now is the time to lower the wages and benefits and take away collective bargaining for the police and fire personnel represented by unions. This way, EVERYONE participates in reducing the deficit Gov. Walker so conveniently prattles on about.
The citizens of Milwaukee have paid for a level of service that the Mayor and aldermen are pulling a bait and switch with. They close fire houses, but don't decommission the apparatus and call it a "Brown Out", so that they don't have to take the political heat. They furlough police officers and tell you lies about the crime statistics. These are the people that you are relying on for your information? See this for what it is. Barrett and his fellow elected officials have mismanaged, misused, and misinformed Milwaukee, and that is our misfortune. We have a chance to correct things if we get away from this latest Barrett weapon of mass distraction, and focus on the real issues facing Milwaukee. Issues like rising crime, rising unemployment, declining attraction of new businesses, inability to retain existing businesses. Lifting the residency requirement is really a non-issue for the city of Milwaukee. Besides being able to exert undue leverage over its' employees the city loses nothing. Not all employees will want to or be able to move out of the city. Those that do will sell their homes. The person buying that home will now pay the property tax. The net sum for all of this monetarily is ZERO. The city does not lose out on revenue; the tax base remains the same.
So you're all right with having to wait an extra 10 minutes when you call 911, because that responder lives an extra 10 minutes away.
That's stupid, they do have some time to spend on their own at home, no matter where that home might be.
davea11 - This is a nonissue. Sheriff Clark has already warned us that we cannot depend on 911 helping us in a timely manner and must depend on our own resources in emergencies. LOCK AND LOAD!!
It's a non issue because no one RESPONDS from home.
Davea11- that makes no sense what-so-ever. These aren't volunteers...they aren't responding from home...
Residency rules are silly. Good move.Hide replies
I support Walker and God Bless him!!!!!!!!
Maybe the city of Milwaukee can lower its wages to police and firefighters, as if they free to live anywhere they want and won't be part of the tax base anymore, maybe the city doesn't have to pay a higher wage to attract employees to the perks of living in a larger metropolitan area. Act 10 should cover police and fire fighters too, then they can get the lower wages like everyone else in the state, as they are the majority of municipal budgets. Cant' have it both ways, higher wages to live in the higher paying city, or lower wages and freedom of choice as the tax base will be much lower otherwise.Hide replies
YES to Act 10 applying to police and fire employees as well. Time to grow a pair, Governor Walker. What's right is right. Applying the act only to those public employees who always support the opposing political party is a bit too predictably partisan. Fiscal responsibility is fiscal responsibility - even when it applies to cops and fire fighters.
Padraig....Most and I mean most P.D's in the state are paying into pension. Seriously, let go of the mind set police get everything. Most contracts with police and employeers are about wages. Health care costs are just as high (if not higher) than private industry. get with it...how about stop letting fire fighters from working 24 hour shifts and having several days off. How fires will be interupted by the 8 hour time clock? There is a place to save big bucks.
People are so uniformed on this issue. FF's in the city work a 49.8 hour work week. If we went to a 8 hour shift and worked a regular 40 hour work week. The city would have to hire another 150-200 firefighters to cover all those extra shifts. Each firefighter works an extra 9.8hrs a week without being paid overtime. So for the 800 firefighters in the city that's an extra 8000 hours that would have to be worked each week!
Good, that would put 800 more people to work. Unfortunately, FF's would have to quit their other jobs.
There is a FF1 class starting this spring lets see how long you would last
Milwaukee will be better for this!!!!!!!!!!! The requirement is MUSTY!!!!!!!
I actually agree with this. I think we should look at the pay and benefits of these employees. Not that we don't appreciate them, but there are far to many cases of some of these guys earning 90000 with all the overtime. I'm not saying we need to make changes, just saying it's very much worth investigating.
Firefighters have a big advantage over the police, drones cannot take so many of their jobs.
As police leave the City, their union loses what little leverage it has left. Future Mayors and Alderman/women will be under increased pressure to bring in drones. Without such a strong impact on the City's tax base, the union will get steamrolled. If they try a "blue-flu" strategy, the Governor can just bring in Homeland Security-certified rent-a-cops at half the price. Homeland Security is prevented from belonging to a union.
A much more sustainable solution for law enforcement unions is to support the legalization of marijuana and require NO cuts to officers, wages, salaries, benefits for ten-years. Legalizing marijuana would bring the tax revenue, jobs and prosperity to pay police officers.Hide replies
This is not about pot
Where have you been Concerned Wife? It's always about pot or salmon when it comes to John Casper. Guy must have smoked too much weed and lost his fishing boat.
God Bless Walker!!!!!!!!
First, removing the residency requirement has nothing to do with the budget. This is political payback for the police union supporting Walker winning the Governorship.
Second, it's not his job to decide how municipalities are operated.Hide replies
Removing residency would be a statewide law. Most police unions did not support Scott Walker.
It also frees the teachers, garbage collectors, all employees.
It's not Barrett's job to demand how the city employes spend their earned money. This also covers teachers and other city workers who didn't support Walker in either election. How is this payback?
Barret should have worked with these departments years ago and it would have never came to this.
Lifting the residency requirement is really a non-issue for the city of Milwaukee. Besides being able to exert undue leverage over its' employees the city loses nothing. Not all employees will want to or be able to move out of the city. Those that do will sell their homes. The person buying that home will now pay the property tax. The net sum for all of this monetarily is ZERO. The city does not lose out on revenue; the tax base remains the same.
Seems like Tom Barrett's employees really want out of his city.Hide replies
Do you blame them?
Izzatso - Absolutely No! Everyone should be able to live, work, and raise their children in the environment of their choice.
I'm sure as soon as Tom builds his trolley they'll want to stay.
Make Milwaukee a great place and everyone will stay!!!!!!!!!
Police and Firefighters receive generous pay and benefits. There is no shortage, indeed there is a surplus of qualified applicants who live in the city. The employees are free to quit their job if they do not like the terms, there's plenty of qualified people waiting.
First Governor Walker cowardly exempted them from Act 10. Pure cowardice and frankly it set up two classes of government employees. Now he limits what the employer can do for bargaining. This will hurt property values in Milwaukee. Coward Scott Walker is just a big government conservative.Hide replies
Barrett is the big government. He is taking control away from employees on how they choose to spend there earned money. What if the US demanded we could only buy us products? Goodbye Toyota, Guinness and champagne. It's about freedom to choose!
Again somehow the fact that this is a STATEWIDE and not a MILWAUKEE issue is getting lost. It benefits everyone including all those teachers that backed Walker. Wait a minute they endorsed that other guy. Seems like Governor Walker is looking out for EVERYONE in the state just like a governor is supposed to!
The quality of life in Milwaukee is what hurts property values in this city. The mayor and other elected and appointed officials should focus their energies on making Milwaukee a city in which people WANT to live rather than making living in the city a condition of employment.
Free!!!!!!!! God Bless Walker!!!!!!!!!!
I agree Hero
These guys all knew full well there was a residency requirement when they took the job. If it was such a problem for them to work under such terms that they found so repressive and unacceptable, then they have the right to seek employment elsewhere like most other workers. That means quitting, losing all the perks such as seniority bidding, vacations, etc. if it means that much to them like nearly every other worker in today's economy faces.
Instead, the police and firefighters pretty much reveal themselves to be cut from the same cheap cloth as the rest of the typical Walker cheerleading hypocrites. Everybody should make painful sacrifices except when it comes to them and what they think they are entitled to.
Headline we'd all like to see:
"Police and Fire accept being treated like ALL other unions"
Will they continue to be treated totally separate with this Gov?Hide replies
This would end ALL residency requirements, not just Milwaukee, not just fire and police.
Freedom for everyone in WI.
Claw did you not read? It's freedom for teacher, bus drivers, garbage men, etc. even the unions that didn't support walker in either election. It's about giving choice back to the people.
Once upon a time companies paid their employees in special currency that could only be spent at the company store. The practice was rightfully decried as anti-choice and a method of wrongfully returning workers wealth back to the fat cat owners.
Fast forward to 2013. Barrett and all the other 99%er's do not hide the fact their anti-freedom residency requirement's intent is to keep well paid city workers in the city to prop up real estate values, which in turn, keep higher property tax revenues flowing in. They also believe their forcing people to live where they demand they live will keep their money flowing to local business- again benefiting city tax-rolls and reclaiming workers wealth.
Seems to me the left is hypocritically OK with the company store system IF gov't is the beneficiary.
Time to end it.Hide replies
PO's and FF's need the same freedom that everyone else enjoys and seems to forget is a hard won RIGHT not privilege. PO's and FF's will still be the consummate professionals that they always have been. Where they or their families live has no bearing on how they perform their duties. Duty is doing what is right whether it is popular or not, and even if nobody is there to thank you. The brave men and women of the Police and Fire departments do this every day, and that won't change if some choose to live outside the city. Thank you Governor Walker for doing your duty as governor, and helping out those STATWIDE that are in an impossible situation!!
Let's not forget EMTs and Paramedics, not just the city's, but the private workers too, thanks to you all.
Let freedom ring!
Instead of requiring residency to force citizenship, maybe focus on improving things so that they will actually WANT to live in Milwaukee. No residency requirements will almost certainly improve employee moral as well as provide a much greater pool of labor to choose from. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that.
So the Governor doesn't hate all unions? I guess not. He sure did these guys a favor. I have always believed that when you have an investment in where you live you work better for the safety of all. I believe the same thing with teachers and administrators. If this is where you make your money, this is where you should live.Hide replies
First of all he also did teachers a favor and they did not support him in either election. Second, should all military personal live where they work? My husband served for 20 years and you are saying he fought less hard when he was deployed because it wasn't his country . It's about integrity and doing what's right.
That is comparing apples to oranges.
Your right all the Dr. and Lawyers that work in the city should have to live there also, then see what kind of care you would get.
Yes it is comparing apples to oranges. They are both fruit! God bless freedom and Scott Walker

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Fruit & Nut Trees
Growing Organic Apples (page 3 of 4)
by Michael Phillips
Tools and Supplies
Decide on your strategy and gather your materials while trees are still dormant. Most likely you'll include a sulfur-containing spray or dust, a sticker-spreader, especially if you live in a rainy area, traps for codling moth and apple maggot, and maybe a Bt spray to aid control of codling moth. You'll also need a spray applicator. How much to invest in a sprayer depends on your commitment. I recommend the Solo backpack sprayer ($100), especially with the 60-inch brass extension or 20-inch plastic extension to help reach into tall trees. Less expensive sprayers can serve nearly as well. All of these supplies are available from a variety of catalog suppliers.
The Seasons of an Apple Tree
Exactly when and how fast your apple tree progresses from dormancy through bloom depends upon your climate and the weather. But to track that progress, apple growers long ago identified and named specific stages of spring growth. Those stages for the tree are then linked to the various pests that prey on apple trees and fruits. By observing the stage of the tree, you can know the stage of the pest. I've included approximate dates for where I live, in USDA Hardiness Zone 4, to give you an idea of timing.
Dormant: November through March
- In fall, rake and clean below your tree to minimize overwintering scab disease. Or scatter ground limestone over the leaves to hinder scab reproduction and to maintain optimum soil pH.
- Prune your tree in March, while still dormant and shortly before spring growth begins. Prune to open the tree to air and light, a key to disease prevention. Remove prunings from garden area to prevent rot spores from establishing on cut branches.
- Order supplies for the coming season. More often than not, organic alternatives are available only from mail-order sources.
Green or Silver Tip: Early April
- Spread compost 1- to 2-inches thick under dripline of each tree. Apply gypsum if fall soil testing indicated calcium levels are moderate to low.
Quarter-Inch Green: Mid-April
- Apply an organic fertilizer blend, such as a 5-3-4.
- Cultivate a circle several feet in diameter around newly planted trees the first several years as well.
Pink Bud: Late April
- Now begins primary scab season. Apply liquid sulfur with sticker-spreader NuFilm 17 before next predicted rain.
- Spray sulfur now and 10 days later to minimize cedar-apple rust and powdery mildew.
Petal fall: Late May
- Apply repellent spray now and again in a week to help fend off curculio invasion.
- Primary scab season usually ends with a daytime rain soon after petal fall. Be sure to have fresh sulfur spray in place before this rain if more than a week has passed since the previous sulfur spray. Repeat sulfur spray 10 days later to control powdery mildew and cedar-apple rust.
- Place drop cloths under trees to collect and destroy "June drops" infested by curculio.
- Hang codling moth traps and lures.
- Spray Bt for first-generation codling moth approximately two weeks after petal fall. Repeat every 3 to 5 days at twilight over a two-week period.

Discover what kittens and cubs acquire before they're even born that equips them to be skilled predators when they're grown up.
In the Womb: Dogs follows the developmentfrom fertilization to birthof three domesticated dogs and their single ancestor, the gray wolf. By following their fetal development, explore just how closely related they are, as well as what it is that makes them so distinct. Our three breeds are different in both form and function: the giant Neapolitan Mastiff, bred as a guard dog to Roman emperors, the tiny Mexican Chihuahua, and the ever popular golden Retriever.

This volume, by a former senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission, argues that the U.S. approach to immigration and border security is off-kilter and not keeping pace with the scope and complexity of people's movement around the world, nor with expectations regarding freedom of movement.
The enlargement of the European Union has fundamentally changed migration patterns to the United Kingdom. Since May 2004 an estimated 1.5 million workers have moved to the UK from new EU member states. This report looks at the challenges ahead as migration patterns shift across the UK.
In order to rectify the shortcomings of a rigid and outdated U.S. visa system set in place by the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), this report recommends creating a new visa stream called provisional visas which would sync visa policies with the way in which labor markets work in practice, and bridge temporary and permanent employment-based admissions to the United States in a predictable and transparent way.
This book reflects the effort of the Transatlantic Council on Migration to map how profound demographic change is likely to affect the size and character of global migration flows; and how governments can shape immigration policy in a world increasingly attuned to the hunt for talent.
This Fact Sheet outlines the common rules and policies of Schengen Member States that have abolished controls at internal borders, the regulations for EU and third-country nationals who wish to enter and reside in the Schengen Area, and the function and mechanism of the "Schengen visa."

Worked For Memy sister is a stylist and noticed my hair was falling out and thinning with each visit to her. She recommended Nioxin. I noticed a huge difference with the first use..my hair was fuller and more managable. The only drawback I notice is if I use too much product my hair will become heavy. You only need a very little amount. The bottle will last a while. I am happy with this product and use it almost every shower. My hair does NOT fall out in huge clumps anymore. Just a few strands is all I loose per shower and thats a HUGE improvement.Feb 25, 2007Karen / Washington

Great Product!!i was in my local supercuts getting my hairs trimmed when my hair stylist commented on how thin my hair was getting. at first i told her to mind her own business and she became very quiet. after a few minutes of feeling guilty i apologized. she told me that they carried a product called Nioxin which was made especially for guys like me. though i pride myself on being unique and normally hate being labeled, i went ahead a bought the smallest bottle they had. well, its three weeks later and i couldnt be happier with the results. that confidence i had back in high school as the star quarterback is mine again. i even went back to ask my hairstylist out -- but the store was closed. ill get her next time!Feb 6, 2007Kevin RoyHAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

I Was Some-what ScepticalI have been working & going to night school, so I guess you could say I was a little stressed out. My hair started falling out excessively. I went to my Beauty Salon & the girl recommended this product Nioxin. At 1st when she even mentioned the name to me...I was like Nahh maybe next time because I thought it was like something bootleged (fake) I did end up buying it, but I got the smallest one, just to try it out. Thats all it took, My hair stop falling & even looks fuller...I loved it! I went back & bought the bigger one. Trust me, I thought I was going to end up bald.
