About Me
I am a thoracic surgeon who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancers of the lung, airways (trachea, bronchi), esophagus, mediastinum, chest wall, and pleura (malignant pleural mesothelioma). I have 25 years of experience as a thoracic surgeon, and was among the first women in the country to be board certified in this specialty.
My colleagues at Memorial Sloan Kettering and I use the highest level of technological expertise to treat our patients; but I also believe in a hands-on, person-to-person approach to ensure that my patients receive the best possible care. To minimize patient discomfort and length of hospital stay surgeons here use minimally invasive techniques such as VATS (video-assisted thoracic surgery) and the latest high-tech procedures including robotically-assisted surgery whenever possible. To determine the stage of lung and other thoracic cancers, we often use EBUS (endobronchial ultrasound) and EUS (esophageal ultrasound) — techniques that allow us to determine the extent of tumors without an incision.
Today's optimal care of cancer patients depends on the close involvement and coordination of physicians in multiple specialties. Tightly integrated, multidisciplinary care is the hallmark of our approach to the management of thoracic cancers. Our Thoracic Disease Management Team meets twice a week to discuss complex patient problems at our Thoracic Tumor Board and to develop and oversee multidisciplinary research at our Team research conference. With my colleagues, I am responsible for coordinating multiple research studies aimed at improving the care of our thoracic patients. We are proud of our active participation in national and international clinical trials, and are studying many new ways to help patients with the most difficult cancers, including better methods to diagnose cancers at an earlier stage and the testing of new cancer treatments. My own research efforts focus on the genetics and treatment of lung cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, and esophageal cancer.
A native New Yorker, I graduated from the Lycée Français of New York and Vassar College, and am fluent in both French and English. I received my MD degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, then completed residency training in General Surgery and Thoracic Surgery at the University of Washington in Seattle. After that, I spent one year at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, in Houston, Texas, for additional training in thoracic oncology, before joining the faculty at the University of Washington for six years. In 1989, I joined the staff at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
In addition to other responsibilities, I currently serve as Chair of the American Board of Thoracic Surgery, as a Regent (i.e., member of the Board of Directors) of the American College of Surgeons, as Chair of the Lung and Esophagus Task Force of the American Joint Commission on Cancer, and as Chair of the Mesothelioma Subcommittee of the IASLC (International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer) Staging Committee. I contribute regularly to peer-reviewed specialty surgical and oncology journals, and have written chapters on lung cancer, mesothelioma, esophageal cancer, pleural disease, and mediastinal disease for several medical textbooks.

By Johnathan Manning / American Press
A new source is needed to fund indigent defense, the head of the Calcasieu Parish Public Defender's Office said.
Much of the PDO's funding comes from court fees, namely traffic tickets.
After the state Legislature last year increased court costs from $35 to $45, District Defender Jay Dixon said he expected a 20 percent increase ($200,000) in funds. Instead, he's foreseeing a 14 percent decrease.
While he said he needs $2.1 million a year to operate his office, he expects a budget of $1.6 million in the next fiscal year.
Income from traffic tickets will be the lowest in 10 years, resulting in the PDO's worst income in 10 years, Dixon said.
Dixon said he is unsure why there has been a decrease in traffic tickets, but he says Calcasieu isn't the only parish to experience a drop-off.
"Ticket fees are not the answer; court costs are not the answer," Dixon said. "They fluctuate from year to year and are not consistent. I think there has to be a wholesale change in the way we fund indigent defense. The state Legislature has to figure out some other form of funding besides tickets to make sure our office runs properly."
Dixon said it's not a question of "if" but "when" his office quits accepting new cases.
"We're going to hit a point where it's unethical to take any more cases," he said.
The PDO announced in July that a $240,000 budget deficit was forcing it to terminate the contracts of four conflict attorneys. It also withdrew from 400 felony conflict cases, which were given to the local bar to be handled pro bono.
There has been some relief. The Police Jury voted to lower the PDO's rent, saving the organization about $40,000, and 14th Judicial District Court judges have been cracking down on partial indigence, Dixon said.
He said he had hoped to get to this point in the fiscal year and rehire some conflict attorneys; instead, he could be looking at cutting more positions.
The PDO is operating on a budget of $1.9 million, Dixon said. But some of that comes from money the PDO had from previous aid from the state. In 2010, following research by the Bureau of Justice and American University, the state injected $800,000 into the local PDO office to give the attorneys raises, create two life-without-parole positions and expand the conflict attorneys.
Dixon said the office hung on to the money "stingily," allowing it some cushion this year. But that money will have dried up at the end of the current fiscal year, he said.
If funds aren't found, Dixon's outlook is bleak for the future of his office — restriction of services in six to eight months, positions cut and salaries lowered.
"Really, the only discretionary funds I have are in salary," Dixon said. "I've cut everything else. There's nothing else to cut.
"If nothing changes, we're going to have a very different office next year."
Dixon said the return of Judge Robert Wyatt from family court opened a new felony division; Elizabeth Traub will be the public defender. She leaves behind her more than 950 misdemeanor cases to be split between Jacob Richard, who has 900 cases, and Scott Rogers, who has more than 1,100, he said.
"At that point, we can't take any more misdemeanor cases," Dixon said. "I can't hire anyone else. I have no money."
If the PDO eliminates its life-without-parole positions, those cases would fall to the public defenders in each division.
"Those are cases that suck up your time, energy and resources," Dixon said. "They eclipse the rest of your caseload."
Dixon prefaces his doom-and-gloom predictions with "if nothing changes."
"Not that things can't change; there are plenty of ways to fix this," he said. "But no one has given me any indication that anything is going to change."

Keep playing PC Police and this is going to happen again and again. I think there is definitely a line in the sand by people saying "We are done compromising". Our human rights are not up for a handful of crooks to debate over in a big White building.
If this keeps happening people might just figure out we aren't messing around anymore.

Paul Ferri was the first person I called after deciding to start Veveo. He backed my last company, Winphoria, which we sold to Motorola in 2003 for $180 million. When you are running a company you are always drunk with your ideas. You need someone who will question whether you are going in the right direction. Board meetings are like midterm examinations. Paul always asks insightful business questions, and he is a tremendous judge of people. As an engineer, Pauls business insight has been particularly valuable to me.
- Investing Team
- Operating Team
Paul Ferri is the founder of Matrix Partners, and one of the most respected investors in the venture capital industry. Like many of the entrepreneurs with whom he has worked over the years, Paul was born in another country and built his legacy from scratch, persevering through adverse conditions and making the best of the opportunity and luck that came his way.
Born in Rome, Italy, Paul immigrated to the U.S. at the age of seven. It was 1944, the height of World War II, and neither Paul nor anyone in his family spoke English. His family settled in Virginia where his father worked for the government as an aeronautics engineer. They ultimately moved to the suburbs of New York, where Paul grew up. Paul studied engineering at Cornell University and the Polytechnic Institute of New York, and business at Columbia University.
In 1977 Paul and Warren Hellman co-founded Hellman Ferri Investment Associates. The duo initially invested across multiple stages and in multiple sectors, and after five years Paul and Warren decided the best approach would be to develop distinct areas of expertise. Warren started a late stage private equity fund in San Francisco, which became Hellman & Friedman; Paul focused on early stage deals and established Matrix Partners in 1982.
Over the next few years, Paul began to direct the firm's investments toward information technology start-ups. One of the most significant companies Paul supported was Cascade Communications. The company, founded by Desh Deshpande and run by Dan Smith, became an industry leader that spawned new innovations. The company sold to Ascend, which was later bought by Lucent. Cascade's founders and employees went on to found some of the most significant companies of the era, including ArrowPoint, Sonus Networks and Sycamore Networks—all of which were Matrix portfolio companies.
Paul has led more than twenty portfolio companies to the public markets, and another twenty to profitable acquisitions. He continues to invest on behalf of the firm and guide his entrepreneurs through the ups and downs of start-up life on the path to success.

text: Let's say T.O. is gone after this year. I know, it is far fetched; after all, he has established himself in the organization's heart and the fans seem to love him. The only way I think he is not on the roster next year is if he goes driving thru the 'hood with Davis this offseason and takes a 9mm for Killer. But, what if? Would Samardzija be a good pick up? He should be available late in the first round. He has good hands and great size. A little slow, maybe, but has a possession receiver, that would be alright. No way Johnson or Ginn will be there when we pick. (Yes, I love ND football)

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thank you for the welcomes! I've really enjoyed looking around for the past several weeks. I'm glad I'm not the only one who got hooked with a marimo ball. LOL
I used to have tanks when I was a kid, but we didn't really do the plants, and that is what I'm truly interested in. I can't wait to get started.
|Welcome to the forum.
Welcome to TPT! You'll learn lots from these plantbrains.
You have a really interesting story and good luck! I also started with marimos too. At least seeing a marimo for the first time, and I was hooked. Addicted to this "drug" at age 4. Diagnosed with MTS. In my case, MOARRR TANK SYNDROME. XD
New Here
Hi, I look forward to getting to know everyone. I've been combing the forums for awhile now, trying to quell the growing desire for fish tanks. First, because we have little to no room (10 people in the family will do that, especially in a small house). Second, it's not really in the budget yet. Third, haven't gotten permission from the landlord yet.
But... I do have a gallon jar with marimo moss in it. So I get to tell myself I have aquatic plants. Simple, I know, but I have to start somewhere. I do have several gallon jars, so I'm hoping to gradually fill each one with easy, low tech plants. Anubias have really caught my eye. I love plants of all kinds, and aquatic plants just seem to be the next step.
I don't pretend to understand half of what I've read about CO2, chemical composition of the water, and lighting yet, but I figure that will come with time. In the meantime, I am enjoying my furry little green moss balls. Someday I'd like to be able to add some fauna as well. Bettas, shrimp, and small freshwater fish like white clouds are competing already in my head. It has been ages since I had any type of tank, so I figure it's like starting from scratch. I hope to learn a lot from all of you.
By day I'm a freelance book editor, so I'm online almost all the time. I don't usually get to check the forums here until late at night unless I sneak over during a break. You all seem to have a great time here, and I'm glad I found The Planted Tank.

Our Philosophy &
It is the most important business topic of all: identifying and fulfilling the unmet opportunity. Few business schools teach how to do it. Fewer still provide the experience of collaboration with an interdisciplinary team of engineers, designers and MBAs. The Management of Innovation and Product Development Track focuses on the "how to" of innovation, giving students understanding and experience with integrated multi-function teams and relevant marketing insights and objectives.
The MBA Track's capstone course teaches a rigorous and analytical process that structures the work involved in innovation, a process that allows innovation to be ongoing, strategic and replicable. Students gain not only knowledge and skills relevant to innovation but also gain experience in an innovation project. The initial phase of the innovation process is to identify problems to solve, which is to elicit target markets' needs. Middle phases focus on translating research findings into product specifications. The latter phase focuses on conceptualization and refinement of the solutions, both of the product prototype and of the solution business plan.
Students learn and experience the process in the corporate-sponsored capstone course, where faculty from Carnegie Mellon's top-ranked colleges of Business, Engineering and Fine Arts provide coursework and team guidance.
The program culminates in a capstone project course that is sponsored by an industry partner. Past sponsors have included Ford, New Balance, Respironics, BodyMedia, P&G, Nissan, Mine Safety Appliances, and International Truck.We are proud of our record of innovation via this MBA Track: Sponsoring companies have applied for more than 15 patents on the student projects that have resulted from the course.
Graduates of this MBA Track are adept at knowing not just how to solve problems but how to define them. Students will master the collection and integration of varied perspectives into a valued product (software, service, system or brand). Students will also gain the skills necessary to communicate a concept in a proposal or high-stakes presentation to senior management and to manage the project through to commercialization.
Students enrolling in the MBA Track should have a rigorous focus on understanding and documenting marketplace needs as well as company technologies, capabilities and skills. Students should be willing to shoulder risk to achieve what they find will be profitable for company and customers alike. Participants in this track must exhibit intellectual achievement but also motivation, responsibility, collaboration, perception and an open mind.

I mix this in iced tea, oatmeal, hot tea and shakes-my kids love it too, it's buttery and delicious!
Stevia with a twist!
Posted by Reviewer1514331 on Mar 21, 2008 | Verified Purchase
This is stevia extract (white, not the green kind) and is similar in flavor to an artificial sweetener. The thing that gives it a "twist" is, well, obviously the vanilla flavoring. The vanilla works very will with stevia as it gives it a light vanilla flavor that is barely pronounced, but does make an impact on the flavor. If you're a vanilla junky and want to skip the creamer when you're putting sweetener in your coffee/tea, this will do the trick!

There also seems to be some debate on the best location and size of entrance. I would like to use an entrance feeder. What do you experienced folks recommend?
There also seems to be some debate on the best location and size of entrance. I would like to use an entrance feeder. What do you experienced folks recommend?
Is this a top-bar or Langstroth hive?
Top Bar - located in Northern Ohio
I can't say how it will work. I'm going to do a top one this time. Basicalyl I'm just leaving a gap at the front bar for them to get in. The cover board puts the roof on this gap. I figure I can always drill holes later if it doesn't work like I want.
Queens do not like to lay below the entrance. This does not sound like a very good plan to me. Please keep us posted.
I've heard this before. Obviously I don't belive it. But I'll find out what I think. But I've seen a lot of variations of locations of entrances in wild hives and I don't think it will matter that much. I'm hoping it will keep out the mice, which to me are a real problem.
IT SEEMS TO ME THE QUESTION WAS NOT WEATHER OR NOT THE QUEEN LIKED TO LAY BELOW THE ENTRANCE BUT WHERE AND WHAT SIZE ENTRANCE AND if using an entrance feeder was a good idea.If previous posts about using entrance feeders say it stimulates robbing then perhaps a top feeder that is not an entrance feeder and thus forcing all bee to access the feeder from inside the hive would be a possible solution. as would be baggie feeder on the botton, a bordmen feeder placed inside the rear of the TBH perhaps even behind a follower board with a slot to allow only the feeder entrance to protrude into the hive area, perhaps some variation an the division board feeder made to match the shape of the TBH with an access point below that of the other top bars, even inverted jars or cans with holes in their covers supported off the botton with wood strips bout 3/8" thick placed behind the drawn comb. Hope this helps.
Since I usually don't like to feed and if I do there are lots of options, like putting a boardman in the back of the top bar hive, or open feeding, it doesn't seem that important to me.
But if feeding is a big issue for you, I'd build a "frame feeder" that fits the top bar. Take some masonite and some of your "top bar" material and make one.
Someone posted a link to a picture of one of these. I have a lot of them made for medium boxes that I bought from Brushy Mt.
Yes I thought you were supposed to put the entrance feeder inside of the hive, with the jar outside so you could refill it. Because I am getting package bees on April 1st it is important to feed them. Maybe I will just put a place in the back of the hive for the feeder, then when I am not feeding I will just cover up the space. I will keep the jar outside and make it a tight fit for the feed end to slide in at the bottom.
How big should the entrance hole be?
There is some research around that suggests that the bees prefer an entrance of around l4 to l5 square centimeters. That would be a round hole approximating 1 3/4 inches.
However all the research I've seen say that the bees prefer cavities smaller than the hives we give them. I suspect that big hive makes a big colony and so probably requires a larger entrance.
In a conventional hive you adjust the size of the hive with supers and the size of the entrance with a reducer. I suppose you could do any of several things for an entrance.
Many seem to like a series of small holes. That way the bees can easily propolize what they don't want and leave what they like. Sort of a bee controled reducer. The down side is if you want to block the entrance you have a lot more to deal with. Also, there is a guard bee for each hole. I don't know if you'd end up with more gaurd bees with more smaller holes or not.
One round hole could work. You can make (or buy) a disk that allows you to adjust this if you want to be able to. I have seen enough robbing that I would want some plan to reduce the entrance if I needed to.
A slot either at the top, bottom or middle of one end or one side would allow you to use a sqaure piece of wood for a reducer and if you made it 3/8" most boardman feeders will fit in this.
In the end the bees will get in by whatever hole you leave.
My current tbh has a knothole at the bottom of the front of the hive that I knocked out for the bees to use. It's about 1 1/4" diameter. Seems to work great for the bees, and I figure it's easy to guard on their part.
It has been shown that the entrance location and size is a big factor when swarms scout out a new location. My own observations indicate that it is also a factor when the bees construct the broodnest.
Others have reported that the bees store honey away from the entrance. Could entrance location could affect how honey is stored and combs managed?
I had planned to build an entrance along one side of my last tbh. But I drilled a few holes in the end to avoid any complications in my comb observations.
Reports from NM indicate that the bees preferred a side entrance over an entrance in the end. This next season I plan on modifying my last tbh with a side entrance. It will not run the entire length as I had initially planned but will approximate the 15 cm2 area swarms prefer. Research indicates they prefer an entrance near the bottom of the cavity. And one that isn't too wide, less than 4cm.
Using a boardman feeder outside the tbh would require an end entrance unless the sidewalls are almost vertical.
[This message has been edited by topbarguy (edited March 01, 2004).]
4 cm would be about 1 1/2 inches according to my ruler. That is easily big enough for a mouse to get in, especially the little deer mice that hang out on my farm. How small do you think you could go? I am thinking about drilling a series of 3/4 inch holes, say 2 cm. each. To get to 15 square cm that would take 4.8 holes. So say five 2 cm holes. That seems about right. only question is if a mouse can get it. Maybe I will make up a little box with some cheese and drill some 3/4 inch holes to see if those little buggers can get through!
The mice will easily go through a 3/4" hole. The small ones will easily go through a 1/2" hole. The really small mice will go through a 3/8" slot, but I'm not sure they could get through a round 3/8" hole. They flatten themselves to get through the 3/8" slot. A quarter inch hole is plenty big enough for a bee to get through and too small for a mouse.
OK, so to get 15 sq. cm it looks like you need ten 1/4 inch holes (1/4 inch = about .5 cm). So I will drill these in the bottom of one side, maybe space them out about an inch apart, towards one end. I think I will use a follower board and slot it for a feeder as was suggested above by stuart.
According to my calculations a 1/4" diameter hole has a radius of .3175 cm. By taking Pi * R^2 you get .3165 Sq cm per 1/4" hole. If you take 15 Sq cm divided by .3165 Sq cm per hole you get 47 holes.
But I don't know how applicable the 15 sql cm "rule" is when divided up into individual holes.
I also haven't tried the 1/4" holes to see how the bees like them. But it's not too hard to enlarge them if you think you need too. On the other hand it's hard to shrink them Of course the mice may enlarge them for you anyway. They can chew a lot of wood. But at least they'll have to work at it.
Actually we brushed on this in the old top bar thread.
If you spread the 15sqcm across a number of hole you reduce the effective size of the hole through "friction".
Its just like water through plumbing. Take a 1" diamter pipe and it can carry a good amount of water volume. Take 15 hole that add up to 1" of diameter, and they carry only a tiny fraction of that volume of water.
Although bees aren't water, the same principle applies. One entrance of say 4" sq inches or 15sqcm is more effective than 6 smaller holes adding up to the same total measurement.
The bees seem to prefer, and experimentation has shown that the bees are more effective at ventilating their hive with a single smaller entrance that a giant one or many small ones.
After my battles with the mice, I'm tending toward openings too small for them also.
[This message has been edited by Michael Bush (edited March 02, 2004).]
What about a bottom entrance? I was reading the new issue of Bee Culture and it seems like a good idea. I have just finished 3 TBH's, and screwed 2x4's at a 22 degree angle for legs, about 40 inches long. This keeps the hive bottom well out of mouse range. So what about drilling some holes right in the bottom? I was thinking of making some holes in the bottom and some in the side, then spending the summer counting which hole was used the most! HA!

So, I registered an account over at the Bengals boards with the handle, DrezNYG, to read and talk about the Rivers trade. I made a few posts, mostly about the trade and a couple others that were on topic. Then some guy starts fussing about a Giants fan posting in the main part of the forums. I guess they have a rule that only Bengals fans can post in the main forum. Being an ambassador of sorts for Giants fans I was on good behavior, probably better than I even would be on here, lol.
I had a little dialogue with a couple posters there, mostly questioning that if what I was posting would be acceptable if I were a Bengals fan (or if nothing else I didn't outright state in my handle that I was a Giants fan), then why is there an issue if I'm not? Most agreed it was pretty silly, but the rule was in place to cut down on trolls. I said we have an open policy here, so long as a poster is reasonably respectful they can post where ever they please.
I then posted about Rivers new contract with us and had a discussion with some people about restructuring and renegotiating contracts (a few of the posters were pissed that the Bengals can never seem to renegotiate contracts, lol). A little while later I went back to carry on the talk, and had a PM from one of the mods in my inbox.
Not only did he reprimand me for posting in the main part of the forums, he deleted all my posts, lol. Really? That's pretty lame if you ask me. I mean, as stupid as it is to have a "Bengals fans only" rule, I can kind of understand it, but to actually go through and delete all my posts? That's just ****ing weak.
Sorry for wasting all of your time with this drivel. I'm just bored and felt like *****ing, lol.

Monarchy: New Single, Remix, Official Video and Highlights from Debut Live Show (which was the 1st to be broadcast into space!)
After quite the lengthy post title as above, seems like there's really no need for more words to be spewn in praise of Monarchy and all that they've been up to as of late. However, I've been waiting for a good chock of days to finally get all the info needed here to properly write this up...so blam blam blam...and away we go!
Last week, as part of the Strangers in Stereo blog collective (which I'm amped to be a part of since its inception) and our weekly feature "Now Playing", Monarchy took my top spot for most played artist/song thanks to Love Get Out Of My Way, and its respective remixes, which will see an official release on August 30 (pre-order here). Mixes come from Sinden, Tim Goldsworthy, Holy Ghost!, Treasure Fingers and Benny Benassi. The TG Dub is free to download below and you can hear the Benny treatment here. Rest assure, the remaining fixes are equally awesome, but being the obedient (and selfish) beast that I am, both cannot and will not post.
Additionally, the official video for LGOOMY has been released. Watch it below. But then don't stray too far, cause I'm writing more stuff, so yeah...pay attention, please and thank you.
Before letting you run off and dance to their killer cuts, a most beastly piece of news action from the Monarchy mates needs to be dropped. On Saturday, June 19, the lads held their debut live show, at the Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, FL. The performance came in front of roughly twenty people, and was also the first live show to be broadcast into space. Neato!
You can watch a mini-documentary from the event below.
If you can't tell, I'm just a LITTLE bit excited for what these dudes have in store. Yep.

I fully admit that I had never heard of the ikat pattern before Lori contacted me for a layout for Creating Keepsakes. Thankfully, she had done all the research and pointed me to an etsy shop Fresh Memories Studio that sells a digital kit with ikat patterns. The result was this most expensive layout I have ever created because I had all the papers in ikat volumne one printed at Costco in the 12x10 size. lol. Of course, I only ended up using three pieces.
It's interesting how this winter differs so much from the last one. There's no snow on the ground so naturally there hadn't been any sledding! It's been a nice break :)

Hello everyone!
I'm just getting started in beekeeping and was wondering what is the best wood for making hive boxes. I am a woodworker, and I can get white pine, yellow pine, and cypress at my local lumber yard, although the cypress is about twice the cost of the white pine.
Are there any woods that are better suited for the hive boxes or can you use whatever is available?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Cycling the Grand Circle
We've combined our three most popular destinations, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, and the Grand Canyon, for a world class road cycling vacation.
From southern Utah's Brian Head Peak, we descend off the mountain through a speedy blur of aspen and pine to Red Canyon State Park. Here, we ride a bicycle path lined with oversized sandstone figures--a curious token preview of a bigger scene that lies ahead. At Bryce Canyon National Park, our road ride through the forest opens abruptly to the brim of a giant basin filled to capacity with stone-silent gatherings of human-like hoodoos! We take a moment to hike down through its channels of bizarre form and color. En route to the Grand Canyon, we cycle through ponderosa forests and deer meadows to the North Rim, where anticipation meets its match at highest edge of the greatest gorge in the world! A brief hike down the canyon walls manifests the canyon's grand scale and magnitude. Cycling back over the Kaibab Plateau, we descend more than 5,000 feet into Zion National Park, for a grand finale ride into the stunning sanctuary of the Three Patriarchs, Angel's Landing, and the Great White Throne!

Can the grid handle the coming electric vehicle load?
Dean Murphy , Marc Chupka , Onur Aydin and Judy Chang are economists with The Brattle Group.
Can the grid handle the coming electric vehicle load?
As electric vehicles become commonplace, will the grid be able to handle the extra load? Too many cars plugging in at once might cause disruptions and necessitate costly infrastructure upgrades. Handling the vehicle load in a smart way, however, will ensure a smooth transition to the plug-in future.
Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs)—powered in part or fully by the electric grid—might offer an opportunity to shift much of the transport sector's energy demands away from petroleum, reducing dependence on imported oil and improving the environment. If the electric grid can be decarbonized (still an open question), this shift will help to reduce overall carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions as well. The potential has drawn much attention from a variety of quarters—including policymakers concerned about climate change and energy security, and vehicle manufacturers wanting to capitalize on a new market. Power system planners concerned about the possible effect of PEVs on the electric system also have begun exploring the issues.
Transportation as a whole uses an immense amount of energy—about two-thirds as much primary energy as consumed by the entire U.S. electric sector—and emits about a third of the nation's CO 2. If a large share of the transport sector were to convert to electricity, it could become a huge new electric load that raises many questions, concerns and maybe opportunities for the power sector. If PEVs were to charge up during off-peak times so that they help fill the valleys in the daily load shape and improve the utilization of the existing grid infrastructure, they could be a valuable complement to the power grid. However, if PEVs are adopted in large numbers but do not coordinate with the grid ( e.g., charging at times that add to peak demand or create rapid load ramps)—they could be disruptive and might necessitate significant additional infrastructure and investment.
As PEVs penetrate the transportation industry, they present a range of possible impacts on the U.S. power system. 1 Because the relationships among PEV penetration, charging behavior, electric infrastructure requirements and environmental outcomes might not always be aligned, PEVs pose some interesting tradeoffs that policymakers and the power industry are just beginning to grapple with.

Where I stayed
We had a late breakfast around 10am and instead of driving we walked. The size of the shops and types of shops here is just amazing.
After looking around for a bit (we were actually waiting for the Apple store to open) we found ourselves in a queue (yes a queue) to enter the Apple store. See the photos from today. I have never seen a queue for an Apple store especially when nothing new is being released.
To our disappointment they had only WiFi iPads but no 3G. We might order the iPad tomorrow night in Los Angeles so that we can pick it up after our stint in Mexico.
We visited the famous Golden Gate Bridge - it was cool to go on San Francisco's most renowned landmark. The bridge was huge but not the only one - there are a few of them around here. We visited Japanese Tea Garden that has some nice plant arrangements. The Town Hall looks like a very impressive building.
We visited Pier 39 where we had soup in a sour dough bread!!! I never had something like it but it was very good. We also saw there some smelly Sea Lions, shows and a lot of interesting people. The only downside here was that Mattias smashed his head on the concrete here. :-(
On our way back to the hotel we rode on the San Franciscos famous Cable Cart originating from 1940s. People were hanging out the sides, it was packed but we made it in the end.
We have culled the 330 odd photos and posted them for you guys to see what great time we had today.
And the verdict on San Francisco now? Well after a disappointing evening yesterday, I was impressed today. The only thing that needs to happen is for weather to be warmer. ;-)
I think we deserve a well earned rest in a warm bed tonight. Tomorrow is an early start where we will do the tour on the Alcatraz prison and drive back to Los Angeles.

On March 11, at 2:46 p.m., people across the nation of Japan paused for a moment of silence, prayer and reflection. The time marked exactly one year since a 9.0-magnitude earthquake rocked the Asian country, triggering a massive tsunami and nuclear crisis. In Rikuzentakata, a siren sounded at exactly 2:46 p.m., and a Buddhist priest rang a huge bell at a temple overlooking the damaged town. At the seaside town of Onagawa, people faced the ocean and held hands in silent prayer. In Ishinomaki—the worst-hit town with 3,576 residents lost—survivors lit around 2,000 candles to mourn for the victims. Some used the anniversary as a time for closure. "Until today, I was not able to accept the reality," said Tamiko Oshimizu, who lost relatives in the tsunami. "But today, I'm going to face it and move on."
In the past year, some affected areas have been cleared or rebuilt, but much damage remains. At the national memorial ceremony, in Tokyo, Japan, that marked the one-year anniversary, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda pledged to rebuild the island nation so it will be "reborn as an even better place."
A Devastating Disaster
The 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck Japan on March 11, 2011. The center of the quake was located about 17 miles beneath the ocean floor, in a spot 80 miles off the eastern coast of the island nation. But the tremors were felt even 230 miles away in Tokyo, Japan's capital. The quake was the most powerful temblor to hit Japan since officials there began keeping records 140 years ago. Japan lies on the "Ring of Fire"—an area rimming the Pacific Ocean. About 90 percent of the world's earthquakes take place in that region. The 9.0-magnitude quake ranks as the fourth largest quake in the world since 1900, scientists say.
The earthquake set off a tsunami with waves three stories high. Entire cities were swept away. The disaster killed more than 19,000 people. Tens of thousands of homes and businesses were ruined. Adding to the devastation, damage at Japan's Fukushimi Daiichi power plant caused some radiation to leak out. Radiation is energy that can be harmful at high levels. People fled their homes to avoid exposure.
A Nation Rebuilds
In the days and months that followed, Japan Self-Defense Forces, aid workers and hundreds of thousands of volunteers from all over the world came to help the country recover and rebuild. But there is still work to be done. Today, about 325,000 people remain in temporary housing. While much of the nearly 23 million tons of debris has been gathered into piles, only 6 percent has been disposed of through incineration. Japan must rebuild dozens of coastal communities, shut down the ruined power plant and make the radiated land livable again.
The Japanese government also promised to reduce the country's reliance on nuclear power. Before the disaster, it supplied about 30 percent of the nation's energy. Japanese Emperor Akihito spoke at the national memorial ceremony. "We shall not let our memory of the disasters fade," Akihito said. "[We shall] pay attention to disaster prevention and continue our effort to make this land an even safer place to live."

All we've got to do is counter-punch. We know where the Sheriff's substations and police precincts are. Just do it the NAZI way, 10 bodies in uniform for every citizen arrested.
I copied this from the warongunsblogspot.
Career Foreign Service Officer and former Ambassador Daniel H. Simpson, now slumming in retirement as a member of the Toledo Blade & Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's editorial board, has a modest proposal entitled "The Disarming of America." Unlike Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" for the Irish poor to alleviate their hunger by eating their children, I think Ambassador Dan is really serious about his. A snippet:
"The disarmament process would begin after the initial three-month amnesty. Special squads of police would be formed and trained to carry out the work. Then, on a random basis to permit no advance warning, city blocks and stretches of suburban and rural areas would be cordoned off and searches carried out in every business, dwelling, and empty building. All firearms would be seized. The owners of weapons found in the searches would be prosecuted: $1,000 and one year in prison for each firearm.
Clearly, since such sweeps could not take place all across the country at the same time. But fairly quickly there would begin to be gun-swept, gun-free areas where there should be no firearms. If there were, those carrying them would be subject to quick confiscation and prosecution. On the streets it would be a question of stop-and-search of anyone, even grandma with her walker, with the same penalties for 'carrying.'" -- The Toledo Blade, Wednesday, April 25, 2007
Dario: There is nothing new about sending troops on a random basis to permit no advance warning, city blocks and stretches of suburban and rural areas would be cordoned off and searches carried out in every business, dwelling, and empty building. All firearms would be seized. This was done routinely by the Nazis before and during WW2. The Nazi word for this type of activity is RAZZIA! And, millions of unprotected citizens were subjected to this type of treatment as Nazi soldiers scoured neighborhoods looking for guns, radios, downed American flyers and anything else that was considered to be contraband.
RAZZIA! Coming to a neighborhood near you?
All we've got to do is counter-punch. We know where the Sheriff's substations and police precincts are. Just do it the NAZI way, 10 bodies in uniform for every citizen arrested.
My jewish grandma from Yugoslavia, told me before she died, "NEVER AGAIN".
Your Grandma was right, what happened during those jorrific years should have never have happened. And as a free nation one would think that this wont happen on our soil , and yet There are those that wish to do the very same as those did some 70 years ago.The only thing that seperates a tyranical goverment is its well armed Citizans to keep the Goverment from becomming a dictatorship...Doc
This is the last bit of freedom we have.
Once it's gone you can kiss the good ole U.S.A Goodbye......
Keep the change-I just want my Country back!!!
just wear your gun under a burka, even the TSA is afraid to pat down a woman in a burka, but will pat down your grand mother. jim
My Father, who eventually retired with 3 Stars told me what he saw. No other account, no other depiction on TV, no other story was as vivid as the stories that my Father told me. I have an Uncle as well, he served in the 8th AF in England. He was re-assigned to transports just before VE-Day, and told me a VERY similar story, but in completely different places. My Father and my Uncle compared notes in 1983, when I could talk to both of them in the same room. There was enough scotch to get around their trepidations. Vets from this era do not willingly talk about these things. Just the understood code of conduct.
My take:
Dad is a decorated General Officer who started as a Buck Fuckin' Private in the Infantry. He has no anything that would make him lie.
Uncle Rob is a PROUD ASSSED SWEDE! And he is even more Proud Assed about being an American, who aided in his small way to defeat Hitler and Mussolini. He has lived a great life, and has everything he ever wanted, save the continued company of his Wife, and my Beloved Aunt; Imogene.
These two Decorated Heros, with nothing to gain; told me that No Human should be treated like the Prisoners in the Nazi Concentration Camps. They told me much more. If there is nothing else that I can do in my life, supporting and defending the weak is the one thing that I hope I will do. NEVER ALLOWING this kind of atrocity to happen again.
This is what I do, and this is what I believe.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment is located in a very nice and quiet location in the Atlstadt of Prague. Bars, restaurants and a bakery are right around the corner. The apartment itself was well maintained in good condition and clean. I can recommend the apartment with a good conscience.
Die Wohnung befindet sich in einer sehr schönen und ruhigen Lage mitten in der Atlstadt von Prag. Bars, Restaurants und ein Bäcker sind direkt um die Ecke. Die Wohnung an sich war in einem guten Zustand und ordentlich gepflegt. Ich kann die Wohnung mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.
Hana is a very nice, easy and helpful hostess who has provided us with a map and lots of information material. A bright and spacious apartment. All very neat and clean and friendly. The location of the apartment is unbeatable. Located in the heart of Prague, you can walk and public transport in a few minutes to all the attractions. Despite the central location, the apartment is very quiet. Highly recommended and price performance value!
Hana ist eine sehr nette, unkomplizierte und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin, die uns mit Stadtplan und jeder Menge Infomaterial versorgt hat.
Eine helle und großzügig geschnittene Wohnung. Alles sehr ordentlich und sauber und freundlich eingerichtet. Die Lage der Wohnung ist unschlagbar. Mitten im Herzen von Prag ist man zu Fuß und mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln in wenigen Minuten an allen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Trotz der zentralen Lage ist die Wohnung sehr ruhig. Unbedingt zu empfehlen und Preis Leistung stimmt!
Great apartment. Great location for exploring the old town area, including how any castle without transportation. Improvement: There is no parking for the car yet. This would need to be better organized.
Tolles Appartement. Super Lage für Ausflüge im Altstadtbereich inkl. Burg ohne jedwedes Verkehrsmittel.
Verbesserungsbedarf: Es ist kein Parkplatz für das Auto vorhanden. Dies müsste besser organisiert sein.
And accomodating hostess. Great apartment in a very central location. Walking distance to most things. Calm and quiet at night. Highly recommended. "Three happy grandmothers from Drøbak in Norway".
Hyggelig og forekommende vertinne. Flott leilighet med meget sentral beliggenhet. Gangavstand til det meste. Stille og rolig om natten. Anbefales på det varmeste.
"Tre glade bestemødre fra Drøbak i Norge".
Spacious apartment. Great location. Only a short walk from the Old Town Square. Trams and metrostation nearby. Very quiet at night.
We were three people sharing the apartment. Livingroom served as a second bedroom, and the kitchen served as livingroom. Worked out perfectly.
Thank you Hana for a perfect stay.
Very nice spacious two bedroom apartment in a nice part of town. Lots of light coming through the windows and even if you have heavy people traffic in the street you don't hear them with windows closed. Apartment is close to public transportation and you quickly get to where ever you wish to go.
The price is right and I recommend.
The apartment is very well located. It's spacious and bright. The children loved the bathtub. BUT there's a strong smell from cigarettes and there could be a lot cleaner. Also some of the furniture was worn out. Hana received us very well and gave useful information about the neighborhood.
The apartment is totally awesome! Very spacious, nicely decorated and conveniently renovated. The location is perfect as well: Situated in the chic Jewish neighborhood, everything is well within walking distance, as it`s smackdab in the center of beautiful Prague.
Also, the owners Hana and Jan are very hospitable and their service is great! We recommend making use of their very pleasant complimentary transfer service by minivan from airport to apartment and vice versa, for just a few extra bucks.
If you`re looking for a nice, spacious and convenient place to stay right in the heart of Prague, then look no further!
Apartment in a great location, nice large rooms, luxury for up to 4 adults. Hassle handover.
Wohnung in super Lage, schöne große Zimmer, Luxus für bis 4 Erwachsene. Problemlose Wohnungsübergabe.
We really enjoyed this big and well located apartment in the centre of Praque.

UPDATE: January 21th, 2016
TML available for consultation
It is not yet possible to restore the resources that have been object of a malicious attack last December. As a temporary solution you can consult the TML at the address http://boethius.music.indiana.edu/tml
December 20th, 2015
All CHMTL resources are temporarily unavailable
On December 9th the CHMTL server suffered a cyber-attack. Following their standard security procedures, the central IT services at Indiana University have taken our systems down. Forensic analysis is in progress to establish if and when the resources can be restarted. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
We were already aware that the architecture of the TML, TFM, TME, SMI and MB was in need of a technical upgrade, hence our work for a while on new releases of these resources (including some content revisions); but we did not imagine that we could be shut down by a malicious attack.
We hope that the problem will be resolved and that all resources will be online again soon, but we are also trying to make beta versions of the new sites available in short order.

"Their style of play and their free style offense," Henriquez responded when asked why he went with the Hurricanes.
Henriquez entertained interest from a host of schools including UCF, Florida State, Alabama, Clemson and Missouri.
A four-star guard, Henriquez is a scorer. At 6-foot-5 he's not only a good shooter out to the three-point line, but he's also very capable of getting points from mid-range.
Henriquez is ranked as the No. 13 shooting guard and the No. 58 overall prospects in the 2014 class.
Henriquez is Miami's first pledge in the 2014 class.

Story highlights
- Follow in the footsteps of Anthony Bourdain with these travel ideas
- Ride through the winter landscape in a troika outside of St. Petersburg
- Take a night train almost anywhere for interesting memories
(CNN)Looking for a vacation that will shock all five of your senses? Anthony Bourdain can help.
Season 4 of "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" starts in the fall. In the meantime, here are seven ideas drawn from some of his best adventures.
Brave a bullfight in Spain
Bourdain paid a visit to La Marquesas Ranch, the private bullring of star matador David Fandila -- who is professionally known as El Fandi. El Fandi, one of the world's top bullfighters, is as known for his courage as he is for his flashy antics in the ring.
You probably won't get personal pointers from El Fandi, but just witnessing this spectacle can be breathtaking.
Although many consider bullfighting an art, the sport is not without controversy. Many are morally opposed to what they consider taunting and brutally slaughtering an animal in a very public arena. The ethical debate is a hot-button issue frequently debated in Spanish Parliament
"To see Spain, to see it straight, to understand it at all, you should probably peek -- if only through spread fingers -- at that most Spanish of traditions, bull fighting," said Bourdain. "There is no denying the terrible beauty of a very complex tradition. The matadors were the original rock stars, the very ideal of masculinity, male beauty and grace."
Sing the blues in Mississippi
Before he started traveling around the world, Anthony Bourdain admits that he never would have considered visiting Mississippi.
But his dim view of the very Deep South soon widened into a love for a very special part of his own country. Especially what he considers the United States' "most powerful and persuasive export and gift to the world": The blues.
Mississippi's poverty means regular renovations generally aren't a top priority. But the rustic atmosphere is part of the Delta's charm.
Many places where the blues are performed look exactly the same today as they did more than a half-century ago.
"The blues, rock 'n' roll, R&B, soul and funk, all came out of this place. One state. Mississippi," said Bourdain.
If you feel like venturing to the Delta this summer, check out Po' Monkey's and other spots along the Mississippi Blues Trail and stop at The Senator's Place for soul food nibbles.
Take a gamble in Sin City
If you're willing to peek behind the facade, you can experience Bourdain's Las Vegas -- a Sin City remarkably void of Elvis impersonators, migraine-inducing bright lights and spinning reels of slot machine fruit.
When Bourdain visited Las Vegas in Season 3, he experienced a city that few people see. He saw the polar opposites of the spectrum: From the ultra-exclusive Villa at Caesars Palace and a nightclub whose patrons drop thousands of dollars on drinks in a single evening, to a local tavern and an eatery dripping with old Vegas charm far, far off the beaten path of the Strip.
"Sinatra and the mob are gone, but there remains, still, a certain sentimental attachment to the way things used to be. There were rules then. A way that things were done. And when they weren't done, there was always the desert and a hole in the ground," Bourdain said.
If you want to roll the dice on a different kind of experience, try local favorites like the Huntridge Tavern, the Bootlegger Bistro, Lotus of Siam and Raku.
Go gun-slinging out West
With a stunning landscape and big open sky, many people gravitate to the state some refer to as the Land of Enchantment. A large Native American population, a hippie influx that began in the 1970s and the largest Hispanic population per capita in the United States give New Mexico a unique American cultural blend.
It was in New Mexico that Bourdain explored the Western cowboy mystique. With its relaxed gun laws, target shooting is an option for a fun outing with friends. Some children receive rite-of-passage rifles the same way other kids get baseball bats.
"We are a gun culture. The expression of American power and identity has always been the lone cowboy with a gun. That goes deep. This is the heart of the American dream. Love it or hate it, this is it," Bourdain said.
Get a taste of New Mexico's culture -- with care. The Shooting Range Park is operated by the City of Albuquerque, providing "an alternative to illegal firearm practice on our mesas, open spaces and vacant areas," according to its website.
Sleigh ride in St. Petersburg
Lovely weather for a sleigh ride may be a few months off, but it's never too early to plan ahead.
Bourdain traveled to Russia and filmed an episode with his longtime friend/drinking buddy Zamir Gotta. At one point, they toured the wintry terrain outside of St. Petersburg on a traditional troika, a sleigh pulled by a team of three horses.
Bundled in blankets and sipping vodka from flasks, they rode through the countryside where the city's wealthiest residents have their country homes, or dachas, and Emperor Paul built his 18th-century home.
"The rest of Russia is very, very different than Moscow," Bourdain said. "I mean (in Moscow), you drive around, and it's like Bentley, Ferrari, Maserati, you know. You go to buy a pair of shoes, you pick up a Bentley on the way out."
Near Saint Petersburg, you can experience a more traditional side of Russia with a troika ride -- flasks optional. Try rides in Pavlovsk Park or through the grounds of Catherine Palace.
Ride a human-powered Ferris wheel in Southeast Asia
In the very first episode of "Parts Unknown," Bourdain explored Myanmar. While the government has relaxed some of its hold of the Southeast Asian nation, it's still controlled by a military regime.
At one of the evening street fairs in Yangon, Bourdain happened upon a human-powered Ferris wheel. Powering the wheel requires its operators -- flip-flop-clad local teenage boys -- to move quickly through the structure, making it turn with the weight and momentum of their bodies
An "absolutely insanely dangerous, closely choreographed process," Bourdain said.
If, unlike Bourdain, you'd like to give a human-powered Ferris wheel a whirl, the rides can be found at night markets and street fairs throughout Southeast Asia and southern India.
Take a midnight train goin' anywhere
The night train to St. Petersburg is one of the most fun things to do in Russia, Bourdain said. Rolling through dark, snow-covered birch forests, he and Zamir enjoyed caviar, pickled herring, and of course, vodka.
In stark contrast, he also took the night train to Myanmar's ancient capital of Bagan. The 20-plus hour journey (it was supposed to take 10) intermittently picked up terrifying speeds on a train where derailments, known as "rail-slips," are quite common.
"Six hundred kilometers of what will turn out to be kidney-softening travel by rail ... So really the question on this end of the journey is: Come back on the train, or fly back in a coffin?" he joked.
For Bourdain, night trains leave a lasting impression.

Hello everyone,
I am new to bee keeping, having caught a swarm near my house in Oakland CA and put it in a 10 frame langstroff super (7" not deep). It was not a particularly big swarm and a local bee keeper suggested that this is late in the swarm season in our area and that I might have a virgin queen. It rained and was cold for 4 days after I captured them and we have now had 3 warm days. He said that if the queen was virgin, she would mate after 2 or 3 sunny days and not to approach the hive too much for a for a few days after that as she could get lost leaving or returning to the hive due to my physical presence changing the local landmarks she would be using for direction. Currently the bees are quite active to the point where using the smallest entrance restricting hole caused a pile-up of bees on the outside of the hive waiting to get back in. There doesnt seem to be much crowding with the medium opening. The bees are clearly setting up flight paths and I would assume are gathering nectar and pollen. I did not feed the bees any sugar water. So far the bees are very docile, last night we moved the hive up onto a platform I built and are using cups of veg oil around the legs to prevent ant incursions. however, this morning I noticed around 10 bees in the cup closest to where they land prior to entering the hive so I made a sheet metal skirt to prevent bees from falling into the oil, installed it on over the problem spot and used aluminum foil over the other front leg. During this time I don't think I got much attention from any guard bees although I was fully suited and concentrating on getting my work done quickly with a minimum jaring or vibration to the hive, so there may have been some guard interest in me...
My questions are:
1. Is there any way to know if I have a virgin queen, and if or when she will have mated?
2. Since I have started with a regular super, I was figuring on putting another 7" super for brood comb and then a final super with a queen restricter for the honey super. Should I be expecting to harvest honey this year?
3. I am planning on inspecting the hive next weekend to look for brood and eggs, should I look sooner or wait a week, and does it matter?
Thanks Mark

Say it ain't so! The iconic home to playmates and models visiting the mansion has been put up for sale for $11 million dollars.

Have an extra $11 million lying around? Well, you're in luck; the Playboy Bunny House has just gone on the market. Located across the street from the iconic Playboy Mansion, the Bunny House has been the temporary home to many Playboy models throughout the years, including some of the cast of The Girls Next Door, Jayde Nicole, Hope Dworaczyk, the twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon, Claire Sinclair, Crystal McCahill and Jaime Edmondson, to name a few.
Playmates of the Year shared rooms, threw barbeque parties and lounged their days away by the pool, while always making sure they honored the biggest rule of the house: no boys allowed, except Hef.
We wonder if past models will still be up for stopping by their old stomping grounds to reminisce. There's room enough for all of them to visit: the Bunny House has five bedrooms, 6.5 baths, 1.3 acres of land, an oasis waterfall, pool and spa.
Not only was it featured multiple times in the hit reality show The Girls Next Door, the house was also the hub for the one episode spin-off The Girls Next Door: The Bunny House, which featured Claire Sinclair's test shoot for Playmate and the girls heading to Las Vegas for the Playmate of the Year party where Hope Dworaczyk gave a speech for her 2010 PMOY title.
While the legendary Bunny House has seen the end of its wild days and nights as America's Sexiest Sorority House, we're sure whoever takes it off the market will enjoy its history.
Not familiar with The Bunny House? Check out the video below of Jayde Nicole's All-girl Playboy Bunny House Party.

I wanted to say that I've not promised it to her.
She doesn't read QB, I'm sure and it should be a complete surprise if I make it on time. So,....if I don't make it, I'll take it next year as my child nr. 3 will graduate from college NEXT May ('14) and we have to go back to the states again then.
But I'm trying to make it on time so I'll get off the internet and get back to work for the next half hour til I have to go somewhere....!

I think you do lose your job because of injury especially if the guy who replaces you plays better than you were before the injury, loyalty doesn't trump whats best for the team...
Flaherty says the change from LT to RT is challenging. So why not play Locklear who does not have that challenge? He's played RT most of his career.
Usually the Giants second half collapses were due to numerous injuries. Blame this years collapse on Flaherty and Coughlin's stubborn behavior and stupidity.
To break out an old cliche...
A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link
The difference with Diehl in at RT is like night and day, and it's not good. I can't stand the stubbornness of this organization sometimes. A blind man can see that changes have to be made immediately, but they wont make them, and all because of loyalty. An injury cant cost you your job? It sure would cost me mine if I couldn't do my job, and I'd also lose my job if someone else came in and did it better than me.
Its something that I despise about this current regime. Loyalty doesn't pay the bills, and it doesn't win games.

You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch

Help! My bees absconded!
I got a package on Tuesday, installed them (not very smoothly, but got all the bees, food, and queen in.) The next morning, I released the queen from her cage because I wasn't sure they were getting her out. I checked on them briefly that night, and all seemed ok - although they all seemed clustered at the back of the hive around the feeder can.
Yesterday (Thursday) I came home and they all seemed to be flying in and out of the entrance, and I figured all was well. In the evening, my husband said he didn't see any bees and was worried, so I suited up and went to check on them. They were gone!!! I looked around, and saw them clustered in a swarm on the ground nearby.
I brushed as many as I could into a bucket and put them back into the hive. I moved the feeder can closer to the front of the hive, and I added a small container of honey with fabric over it so they could get some honey too (a TBH beekeeper I know recommended that.) Then I reduced the entrance with a screen allowing only 1-2 bees to pass through at a time. I tried to find the queen, and I think I did - I saw one bee who was much larger than the others, and who had a different color abdomen. I hope that was her.
This morning, I peeked at them, and they were still in there. There are still a few on the ground in clumps - should I try to get them in this evening?
Where did I go wrong? Any thoughts on why they absconded, and what I should do next? I don't want to keep bugging them, but I also want to make sure they have food and water, and dont leave again. It was so demoralizing to see they had left! How did I fail them?

Think you've heard it all when it comes to ice cream flavors? Think again. Here's a look at just some of the world's weirdest ice cream flavors in honor of National Ice Cream Month in July: [ + - ]
Corn on the Cob -- This summertime staple is now available in ice cream form from Max and Mina's Homemade Ice Cream and Ices in Queens. [ + - ]
Haggis -- This Scottish dish made of sheep innards is traditionally served up sausage style, but comes in ice cream form at the Harrods department store in London. [ + - ]
Pizza -- Another creation of Max & Mina's in Queens, this pizza-flavored ice cream is a blend of fresh tomato, garlic and mozzarella. [ + - ]
Garlic -- A favorite at Mariani's in Santa Cruz during the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. [ + - ]
Smoked Salmon -- Made with smoked salmon and cream cheese, this confection was created by Max & Mina's in Queens at the suggestion of a customer. [ + - ]
Sardines and Brandy -- There are a lot of weird ice cream flavors found in Japan, and this offering featuring sardines and brandy is definitely one of them. [ + - ]
Octopus -- Not content with wasabi and cactus, ice cream enthusiasts in Japan are going cuckoo over this octopus-flavored ice cream known as Taco Aisu. [ + - ]
Bacon -- OK, so after Burger King's bacon sundae, this isn't anything new, but some people are still grossed out at the thought of bacon bits in their ice cream. [ + - ]
Breast Milk -- Yes, you read that right. London ice cream shop The Icecreamists caused a stir when they started selling breast milk ice cream, entitled Baby Gaga. It used freshly-expressed breast milk donations from the public blended with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest. [ + - ]
Aqutak -- An Alaskan ice cream-like food made from whipped fat, berries, sugar and leftover meat and fish. [ + - ]
Coronation Chicken -- Initially created during the queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in England, this delicacy is a take on the coronation chicken dish invented for the queen's coronation banquet in 1953. It consists of cold chicken, curry cream and raisins in mayonnaise. [ + - ]
Horse Meat -- Well known for their love of raw fish a la sushi, the Japanese also love a relatively unknown delicacy known as Basashi, or raw horse meat. This ice cream not only tastes like horse, but contains chunks of horse flesh. [ + - ]
Salt and Pepper -- Offered by San Francisco ice cream shop Humphrey Slocombe. [ + - ]
Caviar -- Made with 60 percent white sturgeon Alverta Royal Petrossian caviar, and offered by gourmet French ice cream company Philippe Faur. [ + - ]
Cicada -- Sparky's Homemade Ice Cream in Columbia, Mo., sold out of its only batch of this insect-filled dessert within hours of its debut in 2011.
