Better and safer alternative to pain killers, but contains magnesium stearate and modified cellulose.
Leioneにより 4 28, 2014 に掲載 | 認証済の購入
What makes this product better that other curcu min supplements is that each curcu minoid molecule is individually complexed with molecules of phosphatidylcholine, a major component of biological membranes, which significantly increases its bioactivity, because curcu min naturally has very poor bioavailability stemming from its poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and rapid systemic elimination. Due to the unique composition of its molecules, this product becomes especially beneficial in treating such inflammatory conditions as arthritis, rheumatism, osteoporosis, viral infections, colds, flu, fever, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, upset stomach, stomach ulcers, colitis, HIV, uveitis, Alzheimer's disease, scabies, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, cancer, stress, depression, as well as many others. It reduces inflammation by targeting multiple steps in the inflammatory pathway at the molecular level and blocking a molecule that travels into the nuclei of cells and turns on genes related to inflammation, boosts and strengthens the immune system, stimulates the activity of the body's antioxidant enzymes and neutralizes free radicals, improves brain function by increasing the levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (the hormone responsible for it), improves eye health, aids digestion, relieves nausea and bloating, helps stabilize blood sugar and regulate insulin levels, prevents blood sugar spikes, normalizes blood pressure, lowers triglycerides and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol, protects against strokes, atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease by improving the function of the endothelium (the lining of the blood vessels) and reducing inflammation and oxidation, helps maintain healthy joints, alleviates the symptoms of depression, slows down the progression of Alzheimer's disease by clearing Amyloid plaques responsible for its onset, and can even fight cancer by inhibiting the growth of tumors and cancerous cells and blood vessels in them. It's a pretty good product. I used it instead of painkillers after my wisdom teeth removal surgery and it actually worked. It's much safer and has fewer side effects that traditional pain killers. The only thing I don't like about it is that it contains magnesium stearate and modified cellulose. Magnesium stearate is a lubricant used to prevent capsules from sticking to each other or the equipment being used, which creates a biofilm in the body and blocks the body from absorbing the necessary nutrients. Modified cellulose is chemically treated. Obviously, they're used almost everywhere and there are much more dangerous ingredients in traditional painkillers, but this product would be much safer without these ingredients.

I was taking the Thorne version of Meriva for a lot more money. This seems to be working as well, if not better. I would give it 5 stars but it does upset my stomach a little on occasion. I have been able to cut my other NSAIDS in half, so the next CRP test will tell if this works as advertised.

I don't usually review supplements, because the effects are often subtle, but I'm convinced that curcumin has helped me with both mood and general well being. I take one of these, one super bio curcumin (from Life Extension) and one bio-curcumin with piperine each day (at different times). Have noticed an improvement in mood and energy, clearer thinking, and so far no adverse reactions. And I tend to be skeptical when it comes to these things... But this seems like something I may stick with for life.

I didn't see it first time I ordered it but then I noticed it contains MODIFIED cellulose. I don't stick anything in my mouth which has "modified" stuff in it. Now I order from Now Foods.

My nutritionist suggested Meriva to me recently for my body which aches alot all over! Amazing product as I said! After just a few days my body felt the difference! I used to wake up with shoulder and neck pain. This does not happen any longer. My body especially my muscles thank you!
Replaced Celebrex
Reviewer1717671により 8 05, 2011 に掲載 | 認証済の購入
I replaced my prescription Celebrex with Meriva. Although I did not gain total pain free joints, I feel like the Meriva is working as well as my much more expensive Rx and without the risk of very serious side effects. Worth a try if you have painful joints or other symptoms of general inflamation.
The gold standard

This the best of all available curcumin products. Phytosome technology from Indena increases absorption orders of magnitude over standard curcumin products. For cancer prevention and general anti-aging purposes, this is the ideal way to supplement this amazing compound. Those with systemic or joint inflammation will also find it very useful.
Same quality at better price than other brands.

My doctor suggested I take this supplement. My father had suggested a different brand years ago but after buying a couple of bottles, it was just too costly for me. When I checked this out recently (my doc actually tells me which companies are best). I was delighted with the price. My doc is an MD and checks out any and all supplements he recommends so I know this supplement is good quality.

Big O Tires said suspension looks solid and nothing out of place or noticeable damage. A buddy of mine said it could be the bar that turns the wheels (don't know proper term) but i had a mechanic check it and nothing. its pretty frustrating.

The Trend: Mismatched Patterns
What's that old adage? Blue and green should never be seen? Forget that; this season's about mixing it up.
Yesterday we talked about the cache of colors lined up for Fall 2012, which is like giving you the rules by which one is expected to play the game. Today, we're talking patterns and how those colors are intended to be used, which is like giving you the plays.
This season's all about mismatching, the free-balling flow of colors and patterns coming to a head and intersecting across fabrics, textures and pieces to create a look that might have been shunned only a few years ago. We like to think of it as the early nineties all grown up and accessible to the modern man. These patterns are in play everywhere: at the office, on the street, on the slopes, off the beaten track and anywhere you can imagine in between. Basically, it's a fashion free-for-all and you've got free rein to wear whatever you want. (Within reason: we simply won't condone, nor will we be held responsible for a paisley/plaid combo of any sort.) The only requirement here is confidence; if you think you look good, you probably do and you probably will.
Gone are the days of the traditional suit: the checkered shirt and textured tie look is in and, as evidenced above, can be dressed down with a solid-colored vest and a clean-cut coat or taken to another level with an equally over-textured jacket. Similarly, stripes can fly whichever way they please and paisley has been cleared to be paired with polka dots.
Outside the office we're confronted with more welcome confusion: This River Island blazer (bottom left and please note the subtle hints of Rhubarb and Honey Gold) comes in clashing with the tribal chambray shirt by ASOS, but the look somehow succeeds. ASOS takes it a step further with their Navajo print fleece saddled with leather and their Aztec print on denim over an unevenly checkered shirt. (By-the-by, Aztec, gonna be huge this year.)
Tomorrow we're talking cuts, the backbone of the fashion scene, and the pieces on which some of these patterns will appear and others will be paired.

Passes on Glenn at the end of the 1st but he gladly takes Pugh in the middle of a 1st round. From a pure value standpoint, this doesn't even make sense honestly.
Thats why I had thought the whole draft process that they werent going to take a tackle in the 1st. Logically it didnt make sense to me. I guess factoring in the strength of this draft wasnt factored enough into my equation.

Glenn was light years more physically talented then Pugh.Glenns problems are a lot easier to fix I believe. Pugh doesnt even have tape against top competition. Who knows how high he gets drafted in the SEC if he was facing bigger stronger lineman week in week out. Glenn was going against Clowney,Mingo,Upshaw,Ingram,Fletcher Cox every week during his college career. When I put games on of Glenn I saw him at Guard and a LT handling all types of lineman and situations. Everyone is just assuming Pugh translates to guard. Im not sure Pugh is strong and physical enough to play Guard or RT. He can mirror edge rushers great but against bull rushers I see weaknesses and against 320 DT's inside I dont know if he can play there

But after that, this was just. so. good. Declan's storyline made me a weepy fool. Talk about a total turnaround from the Pilot. I feel so so so excited for season three. It seemed like they were able to rectify a lot of the problems of this season and allow season 3 to really shine. Thank you for existing, Revenge!

It may have seemed like thousands of superheroes, supervillains, wizards, cartoon characters, and aliens from other worlds invaded New York City last weekend. But there was no need for innocent bystanders to duck for cover. It was just New York Comic Con (NYCC), an annual event celebrating comic books, animation, gaming, movies, and television.
An estimated 130,000 people—many wearing colorful and elaborate costumes—attended the four-day gathering at the Javits Center in midtown Manhattan. There, they had the opportunity to meet and get autographs from the stars of their favorite TV shows and movies, as well as bestselling authors and popular comic-book writers and artists. Special guests included actors William Shatner (Captain Kirk of Star Trek), Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Professor X in the X-Men movies), and Anthony Daniels (See Threepio in the Star Wars movies), as well as wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, Goosebumps author R.L. Stine, and top comic-book creators such as Stan Lee, John Romita Jr., and Amanda Conner.
A Wild Weekend
Over the weekend, fans of all ages filled the convention center. There were presentations about the animated TV series The Legend of Korra and the new live-action Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., with cast members talking about their work and dropping hints about future episodes. In addition, Marvel Comics announced new comic-book series about the Avengers, the Silver Surfer, and the Iron Patriot, an armored character played by Don Cheadle in last summer's Iron Man 3.
Kids could see a play about the creation of Batman and take part in a costume parade. At the parade, wearing a Superman cape and glasses that would look perfect on Clark Kent, 12-year-old Sebastian Castillo told TFK what brought him to NYCC. "I'm a nerd," he said.
Castillo, attending the event with his parents and his 9-year-old sister Arianna, said his goal was to meet Stan Lee, who co-created Spider-Man, the Hulk, the X-Men, and the Avengers. "He's one of my favorite comic-book writers," Castillo said. "I got See Threepio's autograph," said 10-year-old Christopher MacDonald of Yonkers, New York. And sixth-grader Randy Modglin, who came all the way from Indiana, dressed up as a character from The Walking Dead, a TV show he's not even allowed to watch yet. "I'll find a way," he said—though his mother silently shook her head "no" behind him.

A year ago, I wrote about the best-selling conservative books of 2009 (article here, reviews here). I suggested that Obama's victory had been great for what I call the "movement conservative marketplace," helping produce a record number of top sellers.
I have also argued that anybody interested in following Republican politics -- including the likely actions of the coming GOP-controlled House of Representatives, and the 2012 Presidential nomination process -- needs to keep abreast of what's in the top-selling conservative books, as well as what's being said on conservative talk radio, television, web sites, and elsewhere.

Official: BMW F80 M3 / F82 M4 Powered by Inline 6 EngineAn earlier BMW filed turbo patent shows that the company has developed (or is developing) electric turbo technology; so a bi-turbo or tri-turbo inline 6 engine could possibly see the implementation of one or more electric turbos. However many turbos is ultimately decided upon by BMW, we think that its power figure may be somewhere in the ballpark of 450 HP.
Was the M3 ever in danger of having a V6?What about a VR6
_______________________________DSG, it's got two clutches. It's even MORE manual.*Enberliner - we understand that many dumb people on this forum have said many dumb things and you like to quote them. You can not quote people directly even if they don't know what a V6 is or used to XloveX Ford and hate Toyota but now can't figure out XwhichX they like. Deal with it - the management.*
i don't think anybody thought that it would have a v6, the speculation (which was correct) was that it would have a tri turbo I6
Enberliner:Was the M3 ever in danger of having a V6?What about a VR6 There were many people(not on this board) said V6 is happening..
Enberliner:Was the M3 ever in danger of having a V6?What about a VR6 There was a possibility. After BMW patented that tt V-6, most people (myself included) thought that there was a good chance. On the forum posted HERE, "Diver" makes a good point as to how the patent could be used to hide the true innovation.
I never assumed a V6

I was all confused, I thought they made a mistake and put V6 instead of V8, until I read more. I never heard this news.

Is this the current N54 Inline-6 with a bunch of turbos slapped on, even further diminishing the differences that made the M cars more special compared to run-of-the-mill BMWs?
It had to be a typo. I couldn't see BMW adding a tt v6 over their current tt 3.0 i6.
Just a minor update.According to sources close to our sister-magazine BimmerToday, the powerplant found under the hood is a newly developed 3.2 liter unit, still inline-six, which share its fundamentals with S65 V8.The engine is rated at 450 hp and with a new performance package it could reach 480 horsepower and a top speed of 300 km/h.Linky
How can a I6 share ANYTHING with a V8? Two totally different designs. Fundamentals? You mean gas powered, direct injected, turbocharged, 4 stroke, internal combustion motor?

I am in VT and am a little late in deciding whether to pull of a honey super or not. I am only going through this winter with one hive and want to feed the bees. The hive has 1 deep almost full of honey, they other probably about 1/3-1/2 full. There is one medium super on top that is mostly full of honey, but not all is capped yet. Should I pull that super anyway, or do the bees have enough honey with what's in the deeps? There is a late honey flow that happens about now here, but not sure if I should wait as I want to feed them and get them settled in for winter.
The other question is what to do about a hive that I decided to pull the plug on because it was so weak about a month ago. The queen had died and the hive dwindled to nothing. I pulled the whole hive out of the field. The one deep that was there is empty of bees brood and honey, but does have a lot of pollen in the frames. Can I store the deep over winter as is? Will mold be a problem? How would you clean out the frames if you had to? Hate to scrape out all the wax, as I hope to get another nuc in the spring and put them into the hive that is already built out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are there any risks?
Yes! The panel outcomes may be weak if the "experts" are not of high quality or there is weak or ill-informed engagement on the issues, or the sponsoring State does not co-ordinate the process well. Because there is no process for a resolution to be voted on at the end of the panel, there is a risk that discussion will remain very diplomatic, that it may water down the substance of the issues, and that it still gives the possibility for opponents to disrupt debate or ensure there are no concrete outcomes.

nanoTX '06
Dallas, TexasSeptember 27-28, 2006
Dallas Convention Center
Dallas, Texas
Inside-information disclosed under one roof at nanoTX '06 is cutting edge across all fields. The promise of Nanotechnology is now profoundly effecting everyone's future. "The future may become a wonderland of opportunity only for the minority among us who are affluent, mobile, and highly educated. And it may at the same time become a digital dark-age for the majority of citizens-the poor, the non-college educated, and the so-called unnecessary," writes David Kline in Wired magazine. The National Science Foundation reports that by 2015 nanotech will be a stampeding "$1Trillion industry." Not being on the cutting edge means falling behind. Whether yours is business, industry, techni/science or as individuals, such high-level knowledge is vital. "The way you manage and exchange information and the way you learn as a company-those are your only sustainable advantages," says Robert Shapiro, chairman of Monsanto. Come learn how it is all coming together during International Nanotechnology Week and nanoTX '06, where you belong.

So I am watching the jets v patriots. And it is easy to see why sanchez is such a bad QB.
1) everything is like a 10 step drop
2) even when he completes a pass his WR's are diving or on the ground. There is like 0 yards after every catch. All of these could be big plays if sanchez would make a better throw. He pretty much just makes "good enough" throws.

text: As much as I hate the Eagles, I'm already mentally preparing myself for them to win the division. It just seems that it's going to play out that way, But if Dallas loses out on the division title in the last week of the season for a third year in a row to yet another rival that will be funny. But it still won't be as pathetic as the Lions squandering a chance to lock up the NFC North when both the Bears and Packers were without starting QBs.

AILA Doc. No. 08071876 | Dated May 18, 2008
On 05/15/08, in response to the ICE raids at the Agriprocessors facility in Postville, Iowa, Representative Bruce Braley (D-IA) issued a letter seeking information on a possible Department of Labor investigation into labor practices at Agriprocessors, as well as information on any coordination between ICE and DOL prior to the May 12th, 2008 immigration raid at Agriprocessors.
Response letters from the Department of Labor (DOL), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), directly contradicted each other on the question of coordination between the two agencies. While ICE stated they coordinated with DOL prior to ICE enforcement action at Agriprocessors, the Department of Labor stated they received no advance notice prior to the raid.
On 07/17/08, Rep. Braley sent a follow-up letter to Julie Myers, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, requesting further information on the status of the ongoing DOLS investigation.

Hope Summer Repertory Theatre (HSRT) will open William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at 8 p.m. on July 28 at the DeWitt Theatre. HSRT maintains a busy repertory format of plays and musicals, with "Midsummer" being the final of eight productions to open in rotation.
Shakespeare's joyous comedy holds nothing back in this fantastical story of nymphs, fairies, and those misguided human creatures. Nothing shows our true nature better than love, and nobody like Puck can mess things up for people.
One of Shakespeare's most popular works, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" follows young love into the enchanted forest. While Oberon tries to help love along, his not so able assistant Puck manages to confound the whole affair. Lovers profess affections for the wrong person, and the fairy queen herself falls in love with, well, a donkey.
The enduring and enchanting characters of Oberon and Puck have already appeared in HSRT's production of "Shakespeare in Hollywood." Equity Guest Artist Mark Kincaid and Carmel Javaher reprise the same roles in this production, allowing HSRT to perform some magic of its own.
Another Equity Arist, Chip DuFord, plays the luckless Bottom. Lucas Daniels as Lysander and Kate Lawrey as Hermia make up one of the young couples, joined by
Joseph Gallina as Demetrius and Elizabeth Helitzer as Helena. Another 12 actors round out this large cast, all under the direction of HSRT Artistic Producer David Colacci.
In addition to the July 28 opening, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" shows at 8 p.m. on July 29, August 2, 4, 8, 10, and 12.
While at the ticket office, be sure to reserve tickets for the other great HSRT shows, including the musical "Oliver!", the comedy "Shakespeare in Hollywood," and the musical, "Dames at Sea." Snow Auditorium is host to the cutting-edge, contemporary piece, "Memory House." The popular cabaret show moves to Till Midnight Restaurant this year, and is the hilarious "Shakespeare Revue." The Children's Performance Troupe is presenting "Miss Nelson is Missing" and "The Rude Mechanicals."
The ticket office is located in the DeWitt Center, on the HopeCollege campus, at the corner of 12th Street and Columbia Avenue in Holland. Prices range from $8-$26 for musicals, and $8-$18 for plays. Ticket office hours are 10 a.m-5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, and one hour before all showtimes. Tickets may also be purchased by calling 616-395-7890.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, October 14, 2010 - The Honourable Diane Ablonczy, Minister of State (Seniors), addressed members of the National Seniors Council (NSC) as well as seniors' organizations and service providers who met in Toronto today to discuss issues related to an aging population.
The NSC was tasked in June to examine two areas that will be affected by the changing demographics: labour force participation among seniors and near seniors, and intergenerational relations.
"With the demographic shift that is upon us, we are faced with both opportunities and challenges, which must be addressed," said Minister of State Ablonczy. "The valuable insights provided by the National Seniors Council will help the federal government prepare for the reality of population change in Canada and across the globe."
Minister of State Ablonczy joined Mr. Jean-Guy Soulière, Chair of the Council, who facilitated the roundtable discussions. "What motivates seniors to remain in or return to the labour force is a question we will be asking during these roundtable discussions," explained Mr. Soulière. "We will also identify and examine potential challenges in relationships between the generations as a result of the aging population."
This roundtable is the second in a series of five cross-Canada roundtables on labour force participation and intergenerational relations. Since 2007, the NSC has undertaken work on elder abuse, low income among seniors, volunteering among seniors, and positive and active aging. As part of that work, the Council has convened roundtable meetings across Canada with seniors, seniors' organizations and other stakeholders. These roundtables present an opportunity for the Council to identify possible areas for action to support seniors. For more information on the Council, please visit www.seniorscouncil.gc.ca.
The Government of Canada is working hard to help improve the lives of seniors on many fronts. For more information on the Government of Canada's commitments to seniors and elder abuse awareness initiatives, visit www.seniors.gc.ca.

The Government of Canada is working hard to help improve the lives of seniors on many fronts. These efforts include:
- Providing Canadians with almost $70 billion annually through Canada's public pension system;
- Appointing a Minister of State (Seniors)-someone who can bring the concerns of older Canadians to the Cabinet table and stand up on their behalf;
- Providing $2.3 billion annually in tax relief to seniors and pensioners through measures such as pension income splitting and increasing the Age Credit;
- Providing $400 million over two years through the Affordable Housing Initiative for the construction of housing units for low-income seniors;
- Increasing funding to the New Horizons for Seniors Program in Budget 2010 by $5 million, bringing the program total to $40 million annually. The Program helps seniors use their leadership, energy and skills to benefit communities across Canada;
- Supporting positive and active aging through the collaborative Age Friendly Communities Initiative, Canada's Physical Activity Guide to Healthy Active Living for Older Adults, and falls prevention initiatives; and
- Creating the National Seniors Council in 2007 to provide advice to the federal government on matters related to the well-being and quality of life of seniors.

Colorado sheriffs sue over gun control laws
Federal lawsuit filed Friday in Denver
DENVER - As expected Friday, attorneys filed a lawsuit on behalf of 54 of 62 Colorado sheriffs opposing two new gun control laws scheduled to take effect this summer.
Terry Maketa of El Paso County, David Weaver of Douglas County and Jim Beiker of Fremont County were among 18 sheriffs joining attorneys for a morning news conference at the Independence Institute, a public policy research firm.
"So the case has now commenced," said attorney David Kopel, followed by applause.
The new laws, passed by lawmakers and signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper, limit the capacity of ammunition magazines to 15 rounds and expand background-check requirements for private gun purchases. The laws take effect July 1.
Sheriffs said the laws may have been intended to make acquiring guns more difficult for criminals, but are so restrictive that they also unfairly punish law-abiding gun owners.
"It means a husband going out of town can't leave a gun for his wife without a background check," said Maketa. "A rancher can't loan his gun to a neighbor. At first, I saw (lawmakers') effort as really misinformed and trying to do the right thing. But as time went on, I think it was a calculated effort driven by outside interests on the East Coast."
Sherrifs said filing the lawsuit is an unfortunate but necessary step to protect the rights of gun owners.
"It's a combination of a lot of different emotions," said Weaver. "It's a sad day that we've come to sue our own state. But (the laws) need a little more thought."
Beiker agreed.
"It's very divisive for our communities and our state," he said. "Even though our constituents may disagree with us, we believe we're standing up for their rights."
When asked if the sheriffs are playing politics by filing the lawsuit, John Cooke of Weld County said, "We believe the Legislature and the gun control advocates are the ones doing that. We're standing up for our constituents and the Constitution."
Maketa, responding to a question about whether he attended the event on his own time or the county's, said he was paid just as he would if he conducted official business after hours and on weekends.
"I'm representing the voices of the 82 percent of our population who voted for me," he said.
Colorado Attorney General John Suthers has 30 days to review the sheriffs' complaint. Kopel said the plaintiffs are considering asking a judge to grant a preliminary injunction, which would stop the laws from taking effect in July.
Whichever side loses in the case likely will file an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals, Kopel said.

That's one reason I prefer using the foundationless in between comb vs foundation. Some of the (too much) time that I add a super of foundation, the bees will cross the comb from frame to frame, and that is a mess you don't want to deal with. It's kind of a gamble, because sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.

I got a very nice smoker as a present but am not using it and I never will because thanks to Phil Chandler I found that a plastic spray bottle with plain water works like a charm bees dont like to be outside if its rainy so when i spray them they all move into the hive
In nature smoke is connected with fire so logic sais they do get alarmed. Rain drops mean no panic but simply go under the roof
I too have problems with comb curving at the ends. I try to cut 2 inch into the comb where attached and simply push it back inline with the top bar hive. So far they still go back to curving it. Im sure there is a reason to this. Nature does not tend to be linear but curved. Im thinking whether streight top bars are the perfect solution?

A interesting site is ..themelissagarden.com./TMG/_Vetaley03608.htm this site gives 5 top bee plants and approx. pollen and nectur honey production. Worth looking at!!
From just north of Philly -- asters, asters, asters in the Fall. And goldenrod. Both plants were absolutely dripping with them in early October. I'm perusing catalogs for asters now (have plenty of goldenrod).
If anyone wants to contact me for next fall, I can send them aster seeds for just postage and cost of envelope. I have New England Asters in the common lavender color (lots) and smaller amounts of pink and a really nice deep purple. The common white asters of various species I also have lots of. Because these are naturally open pollinated plants you probably won't get ALL the same color. But they are all pretty, and in most of the north, the last gasp of nectar plants.
Nobody has mentioned echium, and from wiki and the melissa garden's lists, I see that both of them describe echium as one of the best nectar flowers in existence. They are considered a weed in most of North America, but I have got some seed and plan to plant it.
It's related to borage, and I find that here at least, Borage is in bloom until the day it dies - which this year wasn't until mid November.
Any experience?
No experience with echium, i know vipers bugloss is grown as an ornamental here though. Any idea which one you've got?
Vipers Bugloss is the only one hardy enough for this area.
Thanks to the Texas Highway Department we have Crimson Clover by the side of every highway. For added effect I just overseeded our entire lawn area (2 acres) with white clover.
Should keep them busy.
We have hundreds of bee friendly plants in the landscape. The Carpenter bees love them. My girls ignore them though they do attack the asters as when they bloom there's not much left.
The bushes that line the fence line (Red Tip something) is the first to flower,about three weeks out. It produces millions of little white nectar filled flowers. At times the whole fence line is buzzing.
Bruce and Rozanna
Crimson Sedum
+1 on sedum, very easy to propagate, got my first one from a tiny sprig broken off accidentally while helping in my parents yard, have more from the yard waste drop-off in fall, just stuck them in the ground and now I divide them in spring. Putting one at the base of each of my saplings.
My son-in-law in central Ma. has a lot of success with a 300' double row of sunflowers.
In my garden, the bees love the sedum, the anise hyssop, the Russian sage, catmint, and the borage.
In the wild around here, I've never seen more bees than gather on the (invasive species) Japanese knotweed along the sides of the road. they go nuts over it! In the early winter I cut the dried stems for use as nesting tubes for the wild native solitary and mason bees. The stems are much like fragile bamboo and come in various diameters. I have a whole bunch cut that I will load into a wood box come Spring and hang it out for the wild bees to nest in .
The little bee returns with evening's gloom,
To join her comrades in the braided hive... -Tennyson
Talk to me about borage -- is it invasive? I have recently cleared about 1/2 acre from a creekbank and want to put something there. I'm going to seed it in clover, but sounds like borage may be a good bet as well.
I loved the borage. Planted about a dozen in my garden and the were in flower from July until it finally froze solid in mid November. I found they really tend to fall over and get beaten up in the wind, and I have read that farmers plant them fairly densely so that they support each other in the field. Borage seed is a cash crop in some areas.
From what I understand, it produces a light, mild honey - not especially distinct. The list on the melissa garden's website calls borage one of the top 5 flower types for bee health.
I carefully collected the seed from my few plants and turned 20 organic seeds into about 1200. I can't wait to find a patch to plant them all. My few plants only attracted a few of my bees - especially late in the year. You really need a good density of a flower type to get their attention.
Thanks, Adam. I am anxious to try borage on my property. Everything I read about it encourages me to plant it for my bees. I will check some seed sites later today and get some on order.
Borage does get big and scraggly as it gets older. The stems get large and hollow and easily bent or broken. I found that if I cut the plants back fairly aggressively when they get too big, they will send up lots of nice new young shoots and flowers for Fall that don't look so worn out.
The flowers are such a pretty blue, and the grey fuzzy leaves sparkle with raindrops on them!
My borage attracted only some bumblebees in early summer. Then in mid to late summer the honeybees finally decided they liked it too. I think a lot depends on what else is blooming and attracting the bees at any particular time.
Here is some borage in the front of the photo of my veg. garden last June.
And here is a closeup i took of my borage after a rain...so pretty!
The little bee returns with evening's gloom,
To join her comrades in the braided hive... -Tennyson
What you show in the first photo is about as much as I had this year. Not enough to draw a big crowd of bees, but the fact that they paid attention at all to such a small number of flowers suggests that they really like the stuff.
But another clump is growing there in the far left part of the garden picture too.
the honeybees and bumblebees seemed to alternate their attention on it, also on the anise hyssop clumps, of which I had 3 large clumps.
This year I have a whole new honeybee-favorites flower bed along the side of the house, where we had to tear everything previous out to repair the foundation.
When I put the new flowerbed in, I put in only plants that bees love.
Every clump helps! And don't forget the bumblebees, native little bees, flies, wasps, moths, hummingbirds, and butterflies!

Got the seed ordered and sited out the area for planting .... thanks for the pics -- beautiful garden you have!
Here is a pic taken that same day from the other end of the veggie garden.
You might want to also plant some blue flowering sage and/or anise hyssop along with the borage. It would be so pretty, the blue and the lavender together, and all 3 are fairly easy to grow and bees love them.
Here are some bumblebees, honeybees, and a beautiful 'hummingbird clear-wing' moth on my anise hyssop last year, and this was as it was nearing the end of its flower peak:
Please excuse the poor camera work.

Movie Review: The World's End

Run to the theater before anybody has a chance to spoil the movie's surprises or its funny, bang-on dialogue.

Director: Edgar Wright
Rating: R
Studio: Relativity Media / Working Title Films
Stars: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman
A movie mash-up that juggles wry humor, the 40-something melancholy of The Big Chill and a scary sci-fi thriller? How is that supposed to work? Fear not. Edgar Wright is confidently at the helm of a supremely silly, touching screenplay he and Simon Pegg cowrote—the grand finale of "The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy." The film following Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz is not only a stone-cold hoot but also ridiculously moving.
In the genre-bending The World's End, Pegg plays a manic, sad-eyed layabout alcoholic clinging to his youth and sense of defiance of middle-class conformity, typified by his neck chains, Sisters of Mercy t-shirt and long, flowing coat. His biggest life goal, his last stand, really, is to gather his reluctant, comfortably wealthy old friends—played beautifully by Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Paddy Considine—to finally complete the "Golden Mile," a marathon pub crawl (12 pubs, 12 pints each) that got aborted 20 years back. Along the boozy, insult-laden route, old allegiances, grudges and rivalries are rekindled, which is pretty much to be expected. Less to be expected is the movie's smart satire of how the heroes' fondly remembered pubs have been zombified and made impersonal by soulless corporations. Also surprising is the arrival of the ravishingly pretty, smart Rosamund Pike, who has a long-festering score to settle with Pegg and for whom Considine harbors a long-standing crush. Most surprising of all is what happens when Pegg makes idle chatter with a frozen-faced young bloke in a pub men's room, a seemingly harmless act that unleashes a barrage of scary, funny and often brilliant special effects–loaded set pieces, let alone a big star cameo of a most sinisterly entertaining nature.
Everyone in the movie is in peak form, but Frost, looking great, makes for one of cinema's all-time most surprising and delightful action heroes. Run to the theater before anybody has a chance to spoil the movie's surprises or its consistently funny, bang-on dialogue. How often do goofiness, wit, literacy and sci-fi thrills coexist so entertainingly in one film?

Ad selection white paper
Introduction to ad serving (2:00)
Table of contents
- Introduction
- Notes and definitions
- Overview of the ad selection process
- The ad selection process
This white paper describes the tools and mechanics of the ad selection process in DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP), as well as how a creative is chosen from within a selected line item. It is intended for network administrators, traffickers, and salespeople, and assumes a general understanding of the DFP system and concepts of ad serving.
Notes and definitions
- In the context of this document, we refer to HTTP as the protocol used in ad serving. DFP fully supports HTTPS, and Google is committed to moving to an "HTTPS Everywhere" model to protect user privacy. See the blog post, Ads Take a Step Towards "HTTPS Everywhere" for more details.
- When using GPT's Single Request Architecture (SRA), all ad slots on a page are requested using a single HTTP request.
- When a page contains multiple ad slots, the order in which you define slots in the ad tags should match the order in which you want the ads to be selected and served by DFP. The slot order can have a big impact on serving behaviors discussed later in this document, like roadblocking and creative rotation. Learn more about slot definition and sequentiality.
- Tag syntax is outside the scope of this article and is covered in the article on generating DFP ad tags.
- Implementation details for demand side platforms (DSPs) are outside the scope of this article.
Overview of the ad selection process
DFP's ad selection process is designed to deliver the right ad to the right customer at the right time. Below is the process that DFP follows to select an ad to serve:
FIGURE 1: Overview of the ad selection process
- A user's web browser or mobile device loads a DFP ad tag (on a site) or DFP ad code (in an app) and triggers an ad request to a DFP ad server.
- The ad request passes information to the ad server.
- The ad server creates a list of all line items matching the targeting criteria.
- The ad server selects the best line item to serve by scanning the list of eligible matching line items, starting with highest priority and working down until it identifies the best candidate line item.
- If dynamic allocation is enabled, DFP checks to see if a remnant line item can be served without affecting the delivery goals or pacing for the candidate line item. This increases overall yield for the network without increasing the risk of underdelivery.
- The ad server selects the best creative from within the selected line item.
- The ad server serves the creative to the user.
The ad selection process
The sections that follow provide detailed information about each stage in this process.
1. An ad request is triggered
2. Information is passed to the ad server
Information about the user and the device is passed within the request to DFP, allowing DFP to match the right ad with the right user. Five crucial pieces of data are transmitted in the ad request:
- The HTTP header
- The IP address
- A user identifier (containing no personally identifiable information), which could be one of the following:
- Resettable mobile device advertising ID (for in-app ad requests; examples: AdID for Android; IDFA for iOS; other identifiers for devices such as Roku)
- PPID (for publishers that have it set in their ad requests)
- DoubleClick cookie (for desktop and mobile browsers)
- The custom targeting criteria set by the publisher in the DFP ad tags
- A "correlator" value shared between ad requests on the same page
The table below details how this data is used in the ad selection process. The DFP ad server only checks DoubleClick user identifiers if they are allowed by the individual user; that is, if the user hasn't opted out or blocked them via browser settings or mobile tracking restrictions.Summary of data types (table)
|Provides information on
|HTTP header
|Browser type
|Operating system
|Date and time
|IP address
|Geographic location
|Internet-related targeting information like user domain
|User identifier
|Frequency capping
|Creative rotation
|Audience list membership
|DFP ad tags
|Ad unit and size
|Which creative types the ad unit can receive
|Custom targeting parameters (key-values)
|Correlator value
|Which ad requests belong to the same page view (used for
advanced serving functionality like roadblocking)
3. A list of matching line items is created
Once the ad server gathers the relevant information for the ad request, it generates a list of all line items that match a subset of the targeting criteria of the request.
For example, if the request comes from a man in California using Linux:
- A line item targeting Men in California is on the list.
- A line item targeting Men in California on Windows is not on the list.
- A line item targeting Men in Vermont is not on the list.
4. The best line item is selected
From the list of matching line items, the ad server then removes any line items that aren't eligible to serve for various reasons, such as:
- Frequency capping
- Day parting
- Exclusions (competitive restrictions and similar line items)
The ad server also looks at the correlator value passed within the request to identify other ads that have already been chosen to serve in this page view. Ads previously chosen to serve on the page can affect eligibility of other line items to serve within the page view, in cases such as:
- Roadblocking (showing two or more creatives together) or as-many-as-possible (AMAP). (Roadblocking is available in DFP Premium only.)
- Advertiser exclusions (preventing two advertisers with competing businesses from showing up on the same page)
Once the list of eligible line items is prepared, DFP goes through the following process to select the best one:
- DFP iterates through each priority level, from 1 (highest priority) to 16 (lowest priority) looking for eligible line items.
- Within each priority level, line items are grouped based on their goal type, and they are served in the following order of preference until the line item's goal or cap is met:
- Line items with percentage goals (a specific portion of traffic, or an exclusive sale)
- Line items with absolute goals (impressions or clicks)
- Line items that are unlimited (non-guaranteed, with a click or impression cap)
To simplify the process of picking priorities and goals, DFP has eight predefined line item types from which you can choose:
|Line item type
|Standard - high
|Standard - normal (DEFAULT)
|Standard - low
|Price priority
If your network is enabled for dynamic allocation, DFP optimizes the distribution of Ad Exchange and AdSense impressions throughout goal-based line item delivery, without compromising reservation goals. Specifically, with dynamic allocation, DFP considers standard line items and remnant line items that can serve to an eligible impression. It then makes its selection based on the higher of the CPM of eligible remnant line items or a calculated opportunity cost of line items with delivery goals.
If an Ad Exchange or AdSense line item isn't eligible to serve, DFP uses priority and line item type to choose the best ad to serve.
The ad selection process varies by line item goal type:4.1. Percentage line items
Percentage (a value between 1% and 100%) is defined as the percent of targeted traffic not taken by a line item at a higher priority level. Percentage line items can be of sponsorship, network, or house type. For example:
Case one: equal priority, same percentages
- Line item A: Targets 50% of Men in California — booked at priority 4
- Line item B: Targets 50% of Men in US — booked at priority 4
- The ad server adjusts so that each line item can meet its goal.
Case two: equal priority, different percentages
- Line item A: Targets 50% of Women in New York — booked at priority 4
- Line item B: Targets 25% of Women in New York — booked at priority 4
- Line item A gets 50% of traffic, Line item B gets 25%; other line items at a lower priority take the remaining 25%.
Percentages can add up to more than 100%; this is called overweighting. When line items at the same priority total more than 100%, the ad server serves the line items in the correct proportion to each other, but each line item is likely to deliver less than its booked percentage. In general, overweighting is not advised as it can lead to this type of unexpected delivery. When choosing between percentage line items at the same priority, the following logic is used:
Case one: Total percentage of line items exceeds 100% (overweighted)
- Line item A: Percentage=50%
- Line item B: Percentage=50%
- Line item C: Percentage=50%
- 1/3 serve Line item A, 1/3 serve Line item B, 1/3 serve Line item C
These line items are overweight (150%) and are not able to meet their goals of 50% each. However, they do serve evenly.
Case two: Total percentage of line items is less than 100%
- Line item A: Percentage=25%
- Line item B: Percentage=50%
- 1/4 serve Line item A, 1/2 serve Line item B, 1/4 fall through to absolute or unlimited line items at this priority, or else to the next priority level.
Absolute goal line items (standard high, medium, and low, along with bulk) are line items that are booked to meet impression or click goals. Since these line items have a goal and a duration, DFP is able to calculate a delivery schedule such that the line item meets the delivery goals within its serving lifetime. These line items are chosen in a two-step process:
- Filter out line items that are running ahead of the target delivery schedule.
- Of the line items that pass the filtering stage, choose the best candidate line item.
Filtering is based on satisfaction index (SI), a measure of how far ahead or behind delivery schedule the line item is. Line items with absolute goals can be set to three possible delivery schedules:
- Even delivery: the ad server allows the line item to serve up to 5% "ahead" of the delivery schedule. However, if your network is enabled to use expected traffic shape in pacing, the delivery indicator may be higher than 105%, particularly early in a campaign. (Learn more about using expected traffic shape in pacing)
- Frontloaded: the ad server attempts to serve a line item ahead of schedule by as much as 25%.
- As fast as possible: the line item is never considered "on schedule" and serves an impression any time it is able to do so, unless another (equally-important) line item needs the impression more.
More about "as fast as possible" line items:
Unlike Even and Frontloaded line items, "As fast as possible" line items are never filtered from the list of line items that are eligible to compete based on SI. However, DFP still calculates an SI for these line items.
If an "As fast as possible line item" is the only eligible candidate to serve, it always serves. If there are competing line items that are also eligible, they compete based on SI. This means that an "As fast as possible" line item never starves out an under-delivering even or frontloaded line item (at the same priority level).
SI can also be affected if your network uses expected traffic shape in pacing. If traffic shape indicates an upcoming traffic trend, this information (sometimes called "hints") is passed to the ad server, allowing it to adjust the delivery schedule to reflect the future trend. Hints about the shape of traffic can include trends such as low traffic on weekends or a bell curve of traffic over the course of a business day.
Unlimited line items (for example, price priority) have no goal, only a cap that limits the number of impressions or clicks the line item can receive either per day or over its lifetime. Unlimited line items are non-guaranteed because they are only considered for serving after the ad server has exhausted all percentage or absolute goal line items at the same or higher priority. If unlimited line items are being considered, the ad server chooses the line item with the highest effective CPM (eCPM), calculated in the following way:
- For CPM pricing,
eCPM = CPM price
- For CPC pricing,
eCPM = CPC price * historical average click-through rate * 1,000 impressions
- If AdSense dynamic allocation is turned on for the ad unit in the request, AdSense's eCPM = the combined value of all the line items that AdSense would serve to this ad unit that won the AdSense auction, following all normal AdSense rules. For example, if Adsense is competing for a skyscraper and would fill the slot with five text ad units, the eCPM would be the value of the winning bid for all five line items together.
If there is more than one price priority line item at the same cost, the line items rotate evenly.
5. The best creative is selected
Once the best line item is selected, the DFP ad server chooses the best creative:
- Creatives that don't match the size of the ad request are filtered out.
- Only creatives of a valid type for that slot based on format (image, video, and so on) are considered.
- If a creative from a line item has already shown in this page view, it's excluded from serving to other slots on the page. This prevents "jackpotting," where the same creative serves to all the slots on the page.
- At the end of filtering:
- If the line item contains only one matching creative, it's served.
- If the line item contains no matching creatives, the ad server moves to the next best line item and repeats this process.
- If the line item contains more than one matching creative, creative rotation rules come into play:
- Evenly: Rotate creatives evenly
- Optimized: Choose the creative with the highest historical click-through rate.
- Weighted: Choose a creative at random, but according to the relative weights specified for each (such as 70/30).
- Sequential: Rotate creatives in the order specified, with each creative being numbered between 1 and 80. When creatives rotate sequentially, each user sees creatives in the specified order any time the line item is served to them — even across multiple page views. Serving sequence wraps around from the last creative to the first.
6. The creative is served
This is the final step of the ad selection process. At this point, DFP has selected the creatives to serve for all the ad slots that are part of the HTTP request. DFP records information about the winning ads for delivery reporting purposes, then constructs an HTTP response containing the creative code, and replies to the original HTTP request.
The GPT tagging library (on web and mobile web) or ads SDK (on mobile apps) receives the response and processes it. In the case of a GPT SRA request, this involves matching the specific creatives to the appropriate ad slots on the page. When the creative is added to the slot, any additional resources (for example, external images or scripts) are also downloaded and rendered. Ad serving is complete.

[quote user="slipknottin"][quote user="WR4Life"]
Just refresh my memory on this one. It's been over 4 years now since I've played football. If you are playing a two gap system, doesn't it make it difficult to do so playing both ends in a 4 tech? That puts a lot of pressure on the ends to cover two gaps from that position or is that strictly referring to the nose tackle's responsibility?[/quote]
Well from what Ive seen from the Chiefs the DEs align at either 3, 4, or 5, even occasionally at 6. They are asked either to engage both guard + tackle, or two gap over the tackle.
They might be aligning more on the inside shoulder because of a lack of talent at NT. Having the DEs engaging or at least threatening the guards may help keep the guards off the NT, making the NTs 2 gapping job easier to accomplish. If they had a wilfork type at NT, maybe they align the DEs more often at 5 tech?
From what Ive seen of the chargers, they align their DEs as 3 techs an awful lot, they try to get penetration from their DEs quite a lot.[/quote]
That's why I was curious. From a 4 it would be very difficult to play 2 gaps. If its the case that it's compensating for the NT then it would almost be as if the NT has a two gap responsibility while the ends do not. It'd almost be impossible to cover the C gap from the 4 spot.

British Queen's Dublin Castle banquet protested by a few hundred as Garda harass activists
ireland / britain | imperialism / war | news report Friday May 20, 2011 22:16 by Andrew - WSM
About 250 people took part in the éirígí organised march on the banquet for the British Queen staged in Dublin castle Wedensday night. WSM members joined the demonstration but Garda had intercepted the person transporting our flags and banner to the protest leaving us somewhat invisible. This was part of a pattern of suppression of visible protest that occurred throughout the visit of the British Queen despite Garda claims that they would "facilitate protest" in advance of the visit [Italiano]
It turns out the unnamed Garda source quoted by the Irish Examiner in advanced of the city who claimed "reasonable protest will be allowed - a peaceful protest - but up to a point" had about as much value as unnamed Garda sources making vague statements ever do. This despite éirígí making major efforts to ensure their protests remained peaceful. At least two of the speakers, including Breandán Mac Cionnaith and Louise Minihan, from the platform before the march said that anyone not willing to be peaceful should leave the demonstration. Stewards removed a couple of people they judged to have become too rowdy. But far from facilitating such peaceful protest the reality has been that Garda have been tearing down posters, removing stickers, confiscating banners, flags and leaflets at every opportunity. Yesterday as well as the WSM losing a banner and four flags, éirígí lost two banners and a stack of posters in the ongoing campaign of Garda intimidation. One of the confiscated eirigi banners which the Garda deemed offensive actually read "fund communities not royal visits." Some of the posters were ripped down by Garda on Marrowbone despite the activists putting them up not only producing the DCC permission but actually getting a council official to come down from the nearby office and tell the Garda they were permitted.
Last night demonstrators were out numbered by two or three to one by visible Garda who formed solid lines a few ranks thick blocking the route to the castle. A Shell to Sea campaigners who happened to be on Fishamble street told us there were 20 van loads of riot police waiting there and that "some of them are chomping at the bit." Our photographer was ordered not to take pictures by the leader of a bus load of helmet equipped Garda descending on the side of the demonstration (pictured above). Earlier in the week Garda had been videoed violently knocking local women to the ground in Summerhill before arresting them, apparently simply for verbally protesting the level of force they were using in arresting protesters they had chased into the area. Garda told a women who hung a protest banner from her flat in Dublin South West that they would kick her door in if she did not remove it.
The Dublin castle banquet was where the Irish and British elites were meeting up to symbolically bury the hatchet in the interests of a common program of screwing the working class of both islands. Much of the visit has been built around 'moving on' from the colonial relationship that has dominated history between the islands. The WSM banner emphasized that aspect of the visit proclaiming "Old Ruler, New Rulers: Class War Continues.." Unfortunately as has been the case since the crisis began the Class War is coming almost completely from their side, the tiny size of the protests during the visit underlining this fact.Image:The Old Ruler, New Rulers Class War Continues..
banner being prepared the evening before the protest
The visit itself has proved a huge PR coup for the 'normalization of relations' between the ruling elites with an ever obedient media very successfully establishing the idea that anyone protesting must be a backward looking 'terrorist' neanderthal. Virtually no civil rights voices have dared protest the repressive policing operation and last nights operation included, we think for the first time, the importation of the 'controversial 'Kettling' tactic from the London police. This is where a section of a crowd is surrounded in a square of police and people are not allowed leave that square for hours. A second smaller demonstration organised by the 32 Country Sovereignty Movement in the same area was kettled for several hours after some fireworks were let off. Media reports which claimed that elements of that group of protesters threw "bottles, firewords and rubbish" indicated that Garda also drew batons and there were at least eight arrests. However the eight were released this morning without being charged despite being held overnight.
In most countries you would expect the liberal end of the legal establishment to not only protest such abuse of police powers but to actively send legal observers to demonstrations where such abuse is likely. In Ireland this almost never happens, allowing Garda to operate with considerable impunity. The confidence shown by the Garda in abusing their powers over the last few days suggests they have been assured by their superiors that they need not fear repercussions providing they don't go 'too far.' This continues the pattern now long established in the policing of the Shell's Corrib project in Rossport where there has been repeated violence from the Garda towards protesters.
The Garda repression is of course part of that story for the low numbers protesting but it is not a complete explanation, there was probably more overt repression in the run up to the Mayday 2004 EU Summit protests. But that resulted in greater numbers turning out with as many as 5,000 taking part in the main banned demonstration organised by the libertarian Dublin Grassroots Network. Counting both demonstrations there were no more than 400 on the streets last night and perhaps as few as 300. The aftermath of the royal visit should be a time for some frank discussion as to why no one outside of fringe republican circles and a handful from the equally fringe far left took part in the protests.

deKnow,i'm not talking about eating x amount of honey to get my daily vit. intake? I'm talking the nutritional value of Raw honey over Pasteurized honey, we've seen the nutritional value of Raw honey, now show me the nutritional value of Pasteurized honey?
sqkcrk, Why couldn't i put fat free and cholesterol free on my labels? packers have been putting Pure Clover honey on their pasteurized honey and getting away with it.

Please look into the BeeMaid MOTTO's "Hive to Home" Why a packer as the main component is missing?
Let's find the answer.
"…BeeMaid is one of the few North American packers..." (Ian – Post # 173)
But I know two Canadian Packers, related to the BeeMaid:
Alberta Honey Producers processes and packages honey for its members.
Manitoba Honey Cooperative processes and packages honey for its members and purchases raw wax.
Therefore I stated : "The Bee Maid Honey is just a distributor. I think you forgot the Packager - HACCP."
It was my short sentence with the "-" symbol, therefore I also posted the quoted statement with the link for detailed info": "Bee Maid Honey is proud that it's honey processing and packing operations are HACCP recognized by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)." http://www.beemaid.com/bulk-ingredient
It's clear - packers work under some standards.
Boris Romanov
"Bee Maid Honey Limited is owned jointly and equally by Alberta Honey Producers
Co-operative Limited and Manitoba Cooperative Honey Producers Limited. Bee Maid
Honey is owned by the Member beekeepers in western Canada.
The Directors of the two Co-operatives are also the Directors of Bee Maid. The
Directors appoint and direct the Management of Bee Maid Honey Limited. Bee
Maid receives the revenue from all processed honey sales and is responsible for
paying the costs of honey containers, processing, freight, commissions, advertising
and all other related expenses. The net proceeds are then returned to the
Co-operatives on a shared basis.
Should either Co-operative have honey beyond that which is required by Bee Maid
to fill its processed honey market, the Co-operative may sell this honey through as
raw bulk honey. The net revenue from this honey is returned to the Co-operative
supplying the honey."
You have absolutely no idea what your talking about Boris,
I think your eyes are crossing when your reading all this stuff.
BeeMaid is the actual packing company to which it buys all its honey from the Manitoba and Alberta Honey Producers. Its a Cooperative.
Its owned by the beekeepers of western Canada, ITS A COOPERATIVE
everything is on the website, everything is clear and transparent , all the honey supplied to BeeMaid is from the beekeeper either from the Manitoba or Alberta members
HACCP is something completely different, is third party auditing. It has nothing to do with packing honey, its a facility standard. I believe is North American wide, its way larger than something your able to comprehend Boris
Do you want me to repeat that Boris?
I wish you could see through you thick glasses,
this packer to which I am a member of, is very proactive with its standards, quality, and currently enacting producer CFIA registration which provides a system of tractability
Very exciting stuff
Once again.
Please look into the BeeMaid's MOTTO: "Hive to Home" This is the FALSE statement!
Why a packer as the main component is missing?
After processing is not ethical to call/label a final product as HONEY - it's PROCESSED HONEY - forever liquid substance!
Boris Romanov
Isn't 37C the mean internal temperature of a human body? Are those components similarly lost as soon as they enter the human body?Did you read that heating (pasteurizing) honey up to 37 C or 99F causes loss of nearly 200 components ... -brooksbeefarm
Along those same lines, doesn't bearding on hives begin at around 37C to 38C? Why wouldn't those components be destroyed right in the hives under those conditions?
I'll confess I'm ignorant on what these sorts of enzymes do physiologically in the human body. Why is consuming invertase so important or helpful?Heating up to 40 C or104 F destroys invertase an important enzyme. -brooksbeefarm
They are fully certified with HACCP, and currently in the process of fully registering its membership with CFIA. Right now, they are packing honey on the shelf all around the world which has the ability of tractability from that store shelf right back to the beekeeper, and the hives the honey came from.
Hive to Home,
Boris, what cant you understand ?
in the scale of 15,000,000 lbs plus
and capturing the market place
I didn't ask you about certification, but I asked you about misinformation of consumers.
Therefore I cannot accept your reply. Please read my post #233 more carefully.
Boris Romanov
there is no misinformation
this whole idea that as soon as honey is sent through a machine it no longer is honey is absolutely ridiculous
I hope people are seeing the irony in this conversation. Hint: Bee Maid IS the beekeeper.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Jim, Im hitting my head against the wall , I got to stop, its starting to hurt,....
Boris ..... got it..... ?
Because I cant explain it again

Beginning in 2006, the population in group quarters (GQ) was included in the ACS. Some types of GQ populations have sex distributions that are very different from the household population. The inclusion of the GQ population could therefore have a noticeable impact on the sex distribution. This is particularly true for a given geographic area. This is particularly true for areas with a substantial GQ population. The Census Bureau tested the changes introduced to the 2008 version of the sex question in the 2007 ACS Grid-Sequential Test (www.census.gov/acs). The results of this testing show that the changes may introduce an inconsistency in the data produced for this question as observed from the years 2007 to 2008.

CROMWELL -- One of the classic Yogisms is this: "It ain't over 'til it's over."
Whether Yogi Berra actually said that about a baseball game is subject to debate, but the truth of it is beyond question. The latest piece of evidence? The North Branford at Cromwell Shoreline Conference game played Wednesday.
Both teams rallied in the seventh inning, Cromwell's coming last in a 5-4 home win over North Branford.
Cromwell took a 3-0 lead to the last inning. With two outs, North Branford rallied for four runs to take a 4-3 lead. Then North Branford had to get three outs to certify a wondrous victory.
The Thunderbirds got exactly none as Cromwell scored twice in the home seventh to win.
"This game was sort of fun and sort of not," said Cromwell coach Lew Pappariella. "When you take a 3-0 lead to the last inning and the other guys have 7-8-9 coming up and your pitcher is rolling along, you figure to get three outs."
You figure.
But B.J. McNaughton (5-0) was running on fumes in the seventh. Brandon Basil opened with a base hit, but McNaughton struck out Will Coleman with a flurry of breaking pitches. One out.
Mike Schettino then singled. So the bottom of the order got two on and brought the tying run to the plate in Mike Funaro. He hit a bouncer to John McMahon at short near the second base bag. McMahon could have stepped on second for the force or he could have made the short toss to second baseman Mike McNally, who was standing on the base. He hesitated for a second -- and instead threw kind of a little popup that landed behind second base.
The bases were now loaded. Then Matt Edwards struck out.
McNaughton then hung a breaking pitch to No. 3 hitter Mike Forgione, who hammered it to left for a single and a run. That brought up cleanup hitter Nick Perrelli with the bases loaded. On a 3-2 pitch, he cleared the bases with a double down the right-field line and just like that, North Branford had a stunning 4-3 lead.
"I knew my pitcher was tiring, but he had done a phenomenal job," said Pappariella. "If I was going to bring someone in it would be a position player off the field and they would be cold. I stayed with who I had."
First up for Cromwell in the home seventh was Pat Sirois. He slammed a 370-foot home run to center field to tie the game. North Branford changed pitchers and brought in left-hander Kyle Hart. He got nobody out as Tyler Allen, who had smacked a two-run home run in the fifth, doubled to the wall in right center.
Steve Radziewicz walked and with righty Alex Ramirez due, Pappariella decided to bunt. Ramirez dropped a beauty down the third base line for the sacrifice, but it turned out to be much more as the throw got past first baseman Chris Caron for an error as Mike LoBello, pinch running for Allen, ran home with the winning run.
"We showed a lot of character and fight," said Pappariella. "That was a big-time at-bat by Sirois. It was his first home run of the season and it couldn't have come at a better time. But he's such a clutch player. He was that in basketball and it carried right over into baseball. Just the type of player he is.
"Then came the big at bat by Allen with the double, which went with his home run which gave us a cushion earlier. That hit and Radziewicz' walk enabled us to play small ball on which we were fortunate."
Both teams are now 10-2.

[quote user="Redeyejedi"]JPP's did show up on tape and in other ways like doing Back flips. Brockers doesnt show anything like that[/quote]
Yea two issues I have with the brockers and JPP comparison.
1. JPP has a phenomenal motor. He goes 100% every play without a doubt. Brockers absolutely does not.
2. JPP was dominant on college tape. Not consistent, but he was absolutely a force every game. Brockers rarely does much of anything.
Brockers college stats are what, 2 sacks and 9 tackles for a loss?
While JPP 17 tackles for a loss and 7 sacks...
Not really comparable from a production standpoint

Hello all. My wife and I live in the mountains of NC. We love it here. We got started last year in beekeeping with 1 Langstroth hive. We now have 8 from splitting, swarms, and 1 package. Beekeeping is very exciting. We love it so far.
Not sure we'll be taking any honey off this year or not, but we're happy that our yard is growing. We'd like to have around 15-20 hives within a couple of years.
We started a Beekeeping website where we try to keep track of things we find interesting or have learned along the way. Just a little way in which we can give back to a hobby that has already so richly blessed us. If you're interested you can check it out at http://www.beekeeping.cc.
Honeybees are very fascinating and I enjoy just watching them go in and out of the hive even when I'm not working in them. It's fun also to notice a honeybee on a clover in yards when I'm out and about.
One of the saddest things I think I've noticed since I've started keeping bees was when a bag boy at a grocery store was spraying bees in the trashcan. I presume a customer had complained. If people only knew that bees were mostly harmless and pollinate so much of the food we depend on then maybe they wouldn't be so interested in destroying them.
Anyway, I'm glad to be a part of what appears to be a thriving community of skilled and beginner beekeepers here.
