Hi all,
I have a question on swarm cells. In my area (North Ga.) it is common practice to remove swarm cells from your hives. I want to know if there is any reasion you shouldn't remove them?
Billy Bob
May I ask why you are removing them? Swarm control? Requeening? Ect?
swarm control.
The trouble with this is that it frustrates the bees rather than working with them. Why are they making swarm cells; are they short of space, do they need requeening, or are they a healthy colony which is trying to reproduce? You might be better to split them or make an artificial swarm; if you don't want the extra colony, then recombine after the swarm season, and if you kill the old queen at that stage you'll have requeened and prevented swarming all in one go.

Hello all,
From what I have read here. I can tell, the old timers around here might not be doing the right thing by removing the swarm cells. So here is what I have. At the first of April I put a 2nd deep brood box on one of my hives. It has only drawn out 3 frams so far, but in the lower box I've found swarm cells. The hive is very strong, and growing by the day. So if someone could help me with this topic I would apreciate it. I have removed the cells already, but would like to know for the next time.

Check and see if you have a queen still and get back to me. It may be supercedure.
Check and see if you have a queen still and get back to me. It may be supercedure. Or it may swarm soon. Cause due to congestion due to available combs.
Hi Clay,
I've never been good at finding the queen, but as of last week I could find eggs and larva of all stages. The new foundation I put in 4 weeks ago is being drawn out nicely. On one the queen had passed by and layed eggs in the unfinished drawn cone. Workers have finished drawing it out. I will reinspect the hive this saturday and try to find the queen. What should I be looking for when I open the hive back up?
Billy Bob
The queen. And/ or queen cells or eggs.
Hi Clay,
Went through the hive today. I didn't find the queen, not a suprise! I did find eggs larva, and capped brood. Queen cells being drawn out also...about 2 or 3 days from being capped, some sooner.
On April 1st I put a 2nd brood box with foundation on top. Today I found the top box about 75% full of honey.(look back on this topic to one week ago) The bottom is being filled with honey also about 40%. I can see that the queen is starting to have a hard time finding empty cells to lay eggs in. I have a super to put on, but I'd like to see what you have to say first.
Last year this hive was near its death in August. I put alot of time bringing it back from the brink (without chemicals). This year I would like to make this hive into a real sucess story.
The queen is only a year old, I was going to have her replaced in the fall. Let me know what I can do. I don't want them to swarm. If I have to split it I will, but I'd rather have a very larg hive.

You say the second is about 75% plugged with honey. You are getting honey bound. This condition leads to swarming. If you have foundations in the top box still, add one in the center of the bottom and the bees will draw it out and the queen will take to it quickly. Then add another to the center of the top box. This should help to unbind the colony. Repeat until all combs are drawn. Let me know if all combs are already drawn.
I was thinking of droping some undrawn/unfilled frames into the bottom box. I did put a super on, but after was thinking that it wasn't going to help anything in the bottom.
What about the new swarm cells? Should I remove them?
Billy Bob
>I did put a super on,
Too late if you have cells. I doubt they will do much with it now.
About the cells. I can think of one quick manipulation that isn't to complex. ASAP (don't delay)or the colony will swarm, but make sure there is a queen and they haven't swarmed already, cut the cells missing none. Shake the bees off the combs if you can't see them well. Add the foundation into the brood nest like I said in the last post. Now place a queen excluder under the bottom box to trap the queen in. Do this for 2 weeks but no more. If there are no more cells being produced then you should be safe. But keep opening up the brood nest with new combs and / or foundation so you don't go back into the same situation again. You could even try to work the bees up into a third brood chamber to really open up and run really large brood chamber colonies. Do you subscribe to ABJ and Bee culture?
I have to tell ya. About the time you were posting this I was at my hive moveing frams around. I don't guess I'm very good at looking at the swarm cells or just missed one the other day, cause when I left I found the swarm about 200 yrds on the other side of the field.
Took a nuc box with frames, pushed them into it, then in front of it. Watched them walk right in.
One thing to note: 1. I couldn't tell the hive had swarmed, it was a big hive, and no other hives around. 2. They lit on a fence post of a horse corral. Apparently the yearling stud that was in the corral had went over to investigate....well to make a long story short. The horse will live, I don't think he was stung. But the bees were the most stired up hanging swarm I've ever delt with.
Thanks for the info. One more question, does the hive swarm before, or after the new queen emerges from her cell? I don't want another queen to emerge and the hive swarm again.
I subscribe to abj.

One more question, does the hive swarm before, or after the new queen emerges from her cell? I don't want another queen to emerge and the hive swarm again.
The hive swarms before the virgin emerges. So I hope you didn't cut the cells yet. As you could end up queenless. This is why I asked you all those questions so I could know exactly what was going on. If you cut them add a frame of brood from another colony(I hope you have one). This is one reason I don't cut cells often.
ABJ, good! I will post an article that you should read (will post tomorrow) as it will give you insight to the things that lead up to swarming.
Hey Clay,
Naw, I didn't cut any of the cells out (you didn't tell me too). Pop always said "Boy when you're walking blind, don't stray away from the one that's leading ya through the briar patch." Thanks for helping me through this, I was lucky to find/stumble upon the swarm...gotem' sitting on the kitchen table up here at the fire station tonight, I'll run'em to the house at first light. This hive has pulled 10 deep frames and just about filled top and bottom box with honey prob. around 100# in just 3 weeks (alot faster than I thought they would). I'll check them again this weekend to make sure they haven't filled the frames that I just put in the bottom for the new queen. Be looking for your post on the abj, tomorrow.
In your debt

Hi Billy Bob,
Ok I found it. In the February 2002 issue read the article titled, APPLY SURVIVAL TRAITS OF HONEY BEES FOR SWARM PREVENTION AND INCREASED HONEY PRODUCTION, on page 123. This is a two part article so read the second one too in the next issue. Key in characteristics 3 and 4.

A new study by researchers at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) demonstrates that a small number of diseases and conditions that can lead to hospitalization-- stroke, hip fracture, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and dehydration -- are responsible for a large proportion of severe disability in older people. Targeting these conditions for intensive treatment and rehabilitation, the researchers say, could help reduce disability among a substantial number of older people and improve their ability to function independently.
Appearing in the March 5, 1997, Journal of the American Medical Association *, the study employs a new way of looking at disability. People who become disabled rather suddenly, compared with those whose disability comes on more slowly, are much more likely to be hospitalized for the seven conditions. By looking at the pace of disability and related hospitalizations in this way, the researchers were able to pinpoint the diagnoses for which aggressive treatment might be most beneficial.
Other research has suggested that other variables, not age, are related to the success of treatments and therapies. The new analysis finds that the very elderly, people age 85 and older, with sudden, severe disability, were treated less intensively in the hospital than their younger counterparts. This latest finding, the researchers say, coupled with the earlier data, suggests that physicians are improperly using age as a criterion for treatment.
The study was conducted by Luigi Ferrucci, M.D., Jack Guralnik, M.D., Ph.D., Marco Pahor, M.D., Maria Chiara Corti, M.D., M.H.S., and Richard Havlik, M.D., M.P.H. of the NIA's Epidemiology, Demography, and Biometry Program. Ferrucci, Pahor, and Corti worked on the project as visiting scientists.
"Our analysis of disability and hospitalization is unique from other studies. We looked at changes in functional status of people prior to when their severe disability occurred and concentrated on evaluating hospital stays that took place in the year when their severe disability developed," says Guralnik. "Studying the pace of disability should now give doctors a better way of looking at preventing disability. We now have a picture of how severe disability evolves."
The study population included 6,070 people who were part of the Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly, or EPESE, longitudinal studies of people 65 and older at three sites across the U.S. Participants were classified based on the severity of their disability.
People in need of help or unable to perform three or more fairly common activities of daily living, such as walking, bathing, and dressing, were classified as severely disabled.
In a novel approach, the participants were then divided into categories reflecting the pace of their disability. 'Catastrophic' disability occurred in people whose decline was very rapid while people with 'progressive' disability lost abilities more gradually, over a longer period of time.
The researchers compared degrees of disability and the course of disability with hospitalizations and nursing home admissions. Overall, for any diagnosis, 72 percent of people with catastrophic disability were hospitalized in the year in which they became disabled while about half of those with progressive disability were hospitalized in their year of disability. Breaking down the hospitalizations even further, Guralnik and colleagues found that about half of the hospitalizations for those with catastrophic disability could be attributed to only a few conditions -- stroke, hip fracture, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, coronary heart disease, and cancer. About one-fourth of the hospitalizations for more progressively disabled people were related to a similarly small number of conditions, in this case stroke, hip fracture, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, diabetes, and dehydration.
Once in the hospital, the researchers found the oldest patients received less intensive care. The researchers' examination of Medicare charges showed that advancing age was associated with quicker discharge and lower Medicare charges for each hospital admission, reflecting less intensive treatment. Guralnik pointed to earlier research by the same group which found that survival after disability is not related to age. Medical technologies used in intensive care wards, pharmacological treatments, surgery, and rehabilitation procedures have been shown to have similar benefits for older people as they do for younger people for survival and quality of life.
Advanced age, in and of itself, should not be used, therefore, as a basis for determining how aggressively an older person should be treated, the study's authors say. The research points to the potential need to make use of various procedures more frequently and intensively in older patients and that the time of hospitalization may be most opportune for reducing disability.
The NIA, a component of the National Institutes of Health, leads the Federal effort supporting basic, clinical, epidemiological, and social research on aging and the special needs of older people.

Anais is entered for Austria JGP Ladies event, as they aren't eligible to compete as a pair this season, I guess it makes sense for Anais to compete in singles, but: -Are they still skating pairs together? -And does this mean they will be representing Switzerland when/if they do compete? Apologies if I've missed a previous thread about this.

Airbus and Asiana Airlines are marking the next chapter in their nearly two-decade relationship with today's delivery of the South Korea-based carrier's first double-deck A380 jetliner.
"This is a very historic moment for Asiana Airlines, which is an important customer for Airbus' entire modern product line: from A320 single-aisle aircraft to the A330/340 and A350 XWB widebody families and the 21st century flagship A380," said Koji Nakau, Airbus' Senior Sales Director for Asia.
Following its first-ever Airbus order in 1996, Asiana Airlines introduced its first Airbus aircraft – an A321 – in 1998. Since that time, Airbus has continued to deliver the popular single-aisle family to this carrier, which now operates 35 A320 Family jetliners: 25 A321s, and 10 A320s.
In addition, Asiana Airlines has grown into a key Airbus widebody customer, with 15 A330-300 jetliners currently in service. Further highlighting Airbus' widebody leadership, Asiana Airlines also has ordered 30 next-generation A350 XWB jetliners – covering the three available variants: -800, -900 and -1000 – along with its six A380 aircraft.
"With Airbus' modern fuel-efficient aircraft, this long-lasting partnership is positioned for the future," Nakau explained. "The A380 jetliner will become the flagship for Asiana Airlines' fleet and open up new opportunities on major routes."

Turntable Talk with Summer Altice: DJ Crystal Ellis
Two DJ Playmates, one sit down: Summer Altice gets Crystal to bare all (about being a model DJ).
DJ Crystal Ellis and I met about four years ago as I was first starting to book gigs as a DJ. I opened for her a lot, and she was always gracious and helpful. She always said, "Us girl DJ's gotta stick together," and I'll never forget the fun I had rocking clubs with her. Her blending is seamless and always on point. She is someone I respect and think will go far in this business. Oh, and she is also Playboy Mexico's Miss April 2009.
Altice: How long have you been deejaying?
Ellis: I learned how to spin about eight years ago. I started with vinyl, and it was right at the time Serato was coming out so I moved on to that later. I have been working full-time as a DJ for the past five years.
Altice: What made you venture into deejaying?
Ellis: I've been a music enthusiast ever since I can remember, and once I started working I felt a normal nine-to-five just wasn't for me. I started go-go dancing at 20, and when I was 21 I dated a DJ. Since I had the equipment available to me all the time I learned at home, and for a while it was just a hobby. I was way too shy to tell anyone! But after practicing for a few years, I finally felt confident and skilled enough to make the switch from go-go to DJ.
Altice: Do you feel female DJs aren't given enough respect?
Ellis: We are judged on our looks and people assume 'cause one is attractive that that is why she got the gig. Okay, maybe sometimes that is the case [laughs]...But this "rule" is ridiculous. There are tons of male DJs who absolutely suck and should not be given gigs as well.
Very often I walk into a club and I can tell that the opener, resident DJ or sound guy think I'm a joke. They are cold or straight-up rude to me, but by the end of the night their attitude completely changes. I definitely have to earn respect over and over again to new people. Which is fine, it's actually fun...I like a challenge. [laughs]
Altice: What are some of your all-time favorite gigs?
Ellis: Spinning at the Playboy Mansion my first year of working was such an honor. I know plenty of people who would love to have that opportunity, so to get the chance so quickly was amazing to me.
Las Vegas is a major place to work also. Whether it's pool parties or nightclubs, everyone is there to party and get crazy. I can appreciate that!
Working Super Bowl events in Tampa with celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Carmen Electra and Jenny McCarthy was a major accomplishment for me also.
But my favorite gig of all time was in Acapulco. I was featured on a rotating billboard outside -- that was so exciting to see as we pulled up. It fit about 5000 people, and it was on the coast overlooking an amazing view of the ocean. But above anything else, the energy in the club was amazing! We partied until the sun came up. No drama at all, just pure positivity and fun!
Altice: You recently became a mother. How hard is it to manage both nightlife deejaying and your family?
Ellis: It was a difficult adjustment at first. Since so many aspects of my life changed, I thought people might look at me differently. But once I got over feeling judged and realized I still rock just as much as I did before, it was fine. I actually work even harder now! I have so much more purpose and passion in my life.
I feel incredibly lucky; not very many working mothers get to spend all day with their children. I can't imagine being gone all week at a full-time job. I never miss anything, she is usually sleeping while I'm working! Some mornings after working all night are tough, but she really is worth it.
Altice: How did you get started?
Ellis: My first few gigs were with MO DJ, who taught me to spin. He did a lot of private events or local clubs and bars, and when he could he would let me spin for a few minutes. It was such a rush at first! [laughs] My first paid gig was at a retail clothing store, and that helped me ease up and get more comfortable. Then my first real club gig was at Aubergine in San Diego. It was a MySpace party hosted by Danity Kane, lots of my friends and even some family came out, so the pressure was on. But I am always prepared and was so ready to rock. I handled it well, and haven't stopped rockin' ever since. [laughs]
Altice: Where are the sexiest girls? Which cities?
Ellis: Definitely in Miami. Like all the hottest people from all over the world were just left there to breed more beautiful people. [laughs] But also the women in the Dominican Republic were smokin' hot, with their big ol' booties! Very natural beauty there. And of course in Vegas, mostly because everyone brings their A game in Sin City!
Altice: What do you have coming up? Where can your fans check you out?
Ellis: This week I'll be spinning in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. In October I'll be going to Atlanta and Miami, as well as spinning locally in L.A. I'm also working out the details for a tour in China.
You can keep up with me on all the social networks to see where I'll be spinning next, too.
Altice: Anything else you'd like to add?
Ellis: I'm just very grateful to be living such a dream. Plenty of nights I have so much fun and am amazed that I get paid to do this. I don't take any of it for granted, because we all never know what could be the next chapter in life. So I thank every single person and venue who has booked me, and every friend and fan who has supported me.
She is both beauty and brains…my favorite combination! Please visit one of the links below to find her in a city near you soon.

Mike Mayock had a "find a spot" segment in the Shrine game, and hes got Trent Steelman, Zach Line, and Cooper Taylor as the 3 on his list.. He thinks u gotta find a spot for these guys on NFL rosters..
He really likes the Cooper Taylor S Richmond Kid and likened em to Kam Chancellor...
Lots of draft people are talking up Cooper Taylor.
Issue I have with Taylor is his lack of range on the back end. I dont think he could play single high in a C1 or C3, which the giants run very frequently.
And he doesnt have the skill set to come down and cover a slot receiver either.
Same reason Chancellor would not fit real well with the giants.
If you dont use interchangable safties, then he could fit well as a strong safety.

Devin Taylor looking really good so far.. A couple nice tackles and a forced fumble..
Devin Taylor is having a great game.. Hes got like 4or5 tackles with half the 2nd qter to go and a Forced Fumble and TFL..
Jerry Glanville singing Sio Moores praise.. Said put a asterick by his name, as hes a guy ur gonna know if a couple yrs.. All the guys singing his praise after his sweet TFL.. Hes had double digit TFL 3yrs in a row for UCONN and can cover.. I've mocked Moore to us a few times..
I have as well, very much like Moore's talent. Though he was always inconsistent.
I'm still super impressed with Devin Taylor DE S.Carolina.. Hes been great in this game, and seems would be a great fit to take over for Justin Tuck.. I also like how long he is, so we can have another DE that can bat down Passes and make it tough for QB's to see over.. He's probably gotten most praise in this one so far on the defnsive players..
Branden Smith of Georgia just made a nice INT..
Heres the kid i wanna see.. Nathan Stanley QB SE LA... Big kid, solid arm, good deep accuracy, can move around in pocket..etc He was great during practice, and Mayock said he was most natural thrower of all QB's there this wk... Throws a naturally good ball mayock said.. Alot of fun to watch

I've heard from several people and even noticed an article in the ABJ that said small cell beekeeping had no effect on varroa levels. I'm curious what studies have been done and published by reputable sources. Or even the effects of natural cell (foundationless) on hive health and diseases/pests in general. Please and thank you.

UMSON faculty are engaged in cutting-edge science and research that can make an impact across the spectrum of health care, much of it groundbreaking in the evolution of the nursing profession.
Teams of faculty and student investigators in UMSON's Center of Excellence in Disorders of Neuroregulatory Function are studying the molecular, cellular, and genetic mechanisms of the neuromuscular system to understand the persistence of chronic pain and its causes, including drug therapies used to treat cancer and HIV.
Susan Dorsey, PhD, RN and Christopher Ward, PhD. "Our Center and research program is truly translational. We make discoveries at the bench, and we can validate our findings in the clinic, and vice versa. There are very few nursing schools that have significant bench lab research programs with the infrastructure and capacity for research and training our future nurse scientists," says Dorsey.

How to Be the Ultimate Gentleman: Soho Sushi, NCAA & Caramel Whiskey

Boozy Sushi in Soho, NCAA art prints and XXX Shine Salted Caramel Whiskey are all things you need to be the ultimate gentleman.

Whether you're visiting the Big Apple for the weekend or you're one of the thousands that call the city that never sleeps home, you really need to try the Boozy Sushi at Koi Restaurant in the Trump SoHo Hotel. While a name like "Captain Crunch Roll" may fool you, don't think for a second you'll be chomping down on a sugary treat. This California roll with tamago is not only topped with eel and tempura flake, it's also drizzled heavy-handedly with a Captain Morgan-infused sauce. Although we came for the Captain Crunch Rolls, we became major fans (and probably regulars) of their seafood dumplings. So prolong your boozy brunch and make it a restaurant crawl to try out the city's latest infusion!
We could try and think of some really inspirational analogies for why basketball plays and business plans are similar, but we're just going to cut to the chase and admit that these prints are fantastic. We're not usually ones for decorating our office space, but Prinstant Replay's best NCAA tournament plays of all time are the perfect addition to anyone's office, whether it overlooks the skyline or has you staring down the hall. Just be ready to know the history behind whatever play you get off the top of your head; we're sure this piece will become the ultimate conversation-starter.
Known as Pennsylvania's first craft distillery since Prohibition, Philadelphia Distilling has been creating some pretty popular liquor since 2005, most notably their flagship Dry American Bluecoat Gin, which has found fans all over the globe. Another one of their spirits to note is their XXX Shine Salted Caramel Whiskey, which is a full 80 proof. We personally took to sipping it thanks to its salty but sweet taste, but we understand that many wouldn't like the edgy moonshine finish. Try their
Caramel Apple cocktail: all you need is one ounce XXX Shine Salted Caramel Whiskey, one ounce Berentzen Apple liqueur and one ounce cranberry juice.
Have you ever heard of a hand-carved pair of sunglasses? We hadn't either. Hailing from Portland, Oregon (obviously), the boys over at Shwood Eyewear have been honing the manly skill of wood craftsmanship to produce some of the most original specs we've ever seen. Their latest pair, which fuses genuine slate with premium birch, had us pretty impressed. Who knew we would ever want a pair of sunglasses made out of rocks and wood? They're only set to make about 200 per design, so preorder yours fast!
Celebrity chef Tyler Florence is the latest personality to jump on the subscription box bandwagon, and we don't mind it one bit. We've talked about this new fad before in our Stuff We Want column: it's essentially a way for subscribers to get a bunch of curated items for less than their retail value. If you're a fan of cooking or are psyched for the barbeque season, subscribe to Florence's Fancy Box Subscription, "Curated Culinary."

Boutique Luxury in Carmel-by-the-Sea
La Playa Carmel • Carmel, CA
Escape Kit
- A Minimum Two-Night Stay for Two in a Village Room (Priced per Night)
- Or, a Minimum Two-Night Stay for Two in an Ocean View Room (Priced per Night)
- Daily Champagne Breakfast for Two
- Book Unlimited Nights for an Extended Stay
The Destination
Carmel, just south of Monterey on California's Central Coast, got its sea legs as a retreat for painters, poets, actors, and other artists seeking inspiration by the sea. And inspiration they got: Ancient-looking cypress trees stand atop sheer cliffs that plunge into the ocean, with red-and-green bluffs overlooking sprawling swaths of perfect beach punctuated by kites and bounding dogs. Take it from the artists who retreated to Carmel in the early 20th century: This is about as close to a fairy tale as real life gets.
The Digs
Just two blocks from the beach, La Playa Carmel sits amid the town's poshest residential neighborhood. Done up in stately stone and Spanish tile—with a swimming pool and immaculately manicured gardens of chrysanthemums, petunias, and magnolia trees adorning the property—this boutique hotel recalls its turn-of-the-century roots with mint-condition period furnishings and stained glass.
But after a recent $3.5 million renovation, La Playa Carmel delivers a decidedly modern hospitality experience. Airy and bright, with a cottage-by-the-beach feel to them, each of the 75 uniquely decorated rooms features an ultra-plush bed with pillow-top mattress, a flat-screen TV, and high-speed Wi-Fi. In the morning, the hotel treats each guest to a sumptuous gourmet breakfast of pastries, fruits, juices, hot entrées, and made-to-order specialties, all prepared with local and seasonal ingredients.
The Diversions
For picturesque ocean views and a bit of Carmel history, hop onto Scenic Road, which winds its way through town and past a number of noteworthy homes, including a Frank Lloyd Wright house built in 1948. Then, take a leisurely stroll down to Carmel Beach, named one of the top ten beaches in the country.
For a taste of the town's roots, head to the Carmel Art Association, where several galleries are filled with works by more than 120 local artists. And for an actual taste of the region, head six blocks away to Scheid Vineyards for a flight of local wine.
"Staff was excellent, and the grounds were stunning and immaculate. Just a short walk to the beach and the center of Carmel. Already looking forward to my next stay there!"-- Hotels.com

|Effect of prior exposure to morphine in the presence or absence of pain on morphine reinforcement
|Couret Jr., Leland C.
|University of New Orleans. Honors thesis. 1995.; University of New Orleans. Dept. of Psychology.
|The addictive properties of opiates have been studied extensively using various animal models. Drugs that are abused are usually drugs that act as reinforcers. Measures of drug reinforcement in animals, therefore, may be an excellent predictor of the abuse potential in humans. Repeated exposure to opiates have been shown to alter their reinforcing efficiency, which may be related to its abuse potential. The present study used the conditioned place preference paradigm to examine whether rats that receive morphine in the presence or absence of pain show differences in morphine's subsequent efficiency to act as a reinforcer. The conditioned place preference apparatus was made of wood, with a Plexiglas lid. It consisted of a start box and two conditioning compartments, which were identical in size. One compartment was painted white with wood chips scattered on a smooth floor. The other compartment was painted black with a wire mesh floor. A grey start box allowed access to the two conditioning compartments. Rats showed no initial bias towards either compartment (39 rats preferred the black compartment and 38 rats preferred the white compartment). Starting the day following initial preference trials, morphine (25 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) or saline was administered for four consecutive days ten minutes after a subcutaneous injection of 50 ul of 2.5% formalin or saline into the hind paw. This was followed by eight days of conditioning in which the rats were injected with morphine (1 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) or saline and placed in the non-preferred or preferred side respectively. A separate group of rats received conditioning trials seven days after the last tolerance day to examine the effects of time delay in conditioned place preference. Conditioned place preference yielded no significant difference within each group, or between the two groups (immediate vs. delayed). However, there was a trend towards tolerance to morphine reinforcement in the rats pre-exposed to morphine in the absence of pain.

text: No, really Karina Johnson has retired from competitive skating. She is going to skate in shows on Royal Caribbean starting this March. article in Danish here. It basically states her results and that she has been a great representative for Danish skating, brining it to international level again. It also explains a little about her background that I didn't know - Her mom used to skate in Denmark, and both her parents are coaches in Florida now. Her dad, who is American, was a coach at a Danish rink for a period of time. I am assuming that the rise of Anita Madsen to senior and winning the Danish championship this year has made her decide to end her career, she didn't get any international assignments this spring. All the best to Karina!

Barbe quarterback Kennon Fontenot. (Rick Hickman / Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Thursday, November 22, 2012 8:21 PM
By Warren Arcenaux / American Press
The Barbe Bucs and their aerial attack will invade Bossier City, hoping to earn its first semifinal trip since 2008.
Barbe (11-1) led from wire-to-wire against Byrd last week in its 38-21 win. The Bucs offense, which had a season-low output of 24 points in a first-round win, returned to form. Quarterback Kennon Fontenot threw for 247 yards, ran for 108 and accounted for four touchdowns. Receiver Trey Quinn caught 10 passes for 153 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Parkway (11-1) rallied for a 31-28 win in Hahnville last week. The Panthers are led by quarterback Brandon Harris, who ran for two touchdowns and threw another scoring pass. Running back Marcus Harper ran for 84 yards and doubles as a linebacker for the Panthers.
Parkway is 3-1 in playoff games under head coach David Feaster, who was head coach at Leesville before going to Parkway. Last year, Parkway lost 38-37 in double overtime to Mandeville in the regional round.
"They are very impressive, very athletic and appear to big on both lines," said Barbe head coach Mike Cutrera, who has won four of five playoff games. "They can mix it up quite a bit. They are close to a 60-40 run-pass split. The quarterback has designed runs and can also scramble."
Quinn had the big game last week, but Cutrera said the Bucs' host of receiving options leads to the team's success.
"The more people we can get involved the better," he said. "That makes it difficult for defenses to cover."
Cutrera said he likes what he is seeing from his team.
"I am very pleased with the way we played last week," Cutrera said. "We are playing good at the right time. Hopefully we can keep that going. The kids are playing hard and want to continue playing, They have done everything we have asked them to do. They are having fun, which is important. We are doing some goods things offensively, defensively and in the kicking game."


text: I'm trying to convince my husband to let me start beekeeping in our backyard. The city just passed a new beekeeping ordinance a few weeks ago to allow beekeeping in the city. I've taken a class through the local beekeeping club and I think I'm ready. But my husband is quite worried about how having a hive will affect our small backyard. He thinks that seeing a video of urban beekeeping might help. So, can anyone help with some links to good videos?

A need for faith, hope
A need for faith, hope
Mr. Long, in his July 11 Dispatch letter to the editor, does not understand proof. If we had proof of Christianity there would be no need for faith of hope.
Many church goers are in it for the deal. "I believe, therefore I will get to heaven." They spurn earthly greed for spiritual greed or else they believe due to fear of hell. Fundamental preachers use damnation as a scare tactic to get and keep obedient church members. Jesus would be appalled. Every Christian should ask, "Would I still follow Jesus if there was no afterlife?" Motivations need examination and lead to self knowledge.

Susan Stamper Brown, FloydReports.com
Americans may be less safe today because the Obama administration made the decision to circumvent the Constitutional treaty ratification process by mandating that his administration would begin compliance with Article 75 of Additional Protocol I (API) to the 1949 Geneva Conventions "out of a sense of moral obligation."
API, an unsanctioned addition to the Geneva Convention that was unequivocally rejected by previous administrations, outlines fundamental rights or guarantees for captives taken in an international armed conflict. This addition sounds nice in Dreamland, where it's okay to interchange the words "international" and "national" without consequence. But, where the rest of us live, the word "international" is quintessential. The Supreme Court determined (Hamdan vs. Rumsfeld) that America is involved in a non-international armed conflict with al-Qaeda and the Taliban, making Article 75 moot.
We were led to believe we were having an intelligent Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo) detainee discussion when the administration threw in some non sequitur about Article 75. Introducing Article 75 into the conversation was misleading to those who take words at face-value, confusing to those who dare to delve below the surface and alarming to those who understand our safety is in the hands of some who dangerously dance outside the confines of common sense.
In a March 7, 2011, White House fact sheet titled "New Actions on Guantanamo and Detainee Policy," the administration suggests, "Our adherence to these principles is also an important safeguard against the mistreatment of captured U.S. military personnel." Let me get this right. America is involved in a non-international armed conflict with an indefinable enemy that use woman and children as "human shields," blow themselves up on a regular basis, behead their enemy using dull swords – and we should believe our military will be safer? Secretary of State Clinton said it's "not about who our enemies are, but about who we are." We are a lot of things, but Americans aren't stupid….

Sun Country raft trip to benefit Deschutes Children's Forest
Sun Country Tours is hosting a special Big Eddy Thriller whitewater rafting trip on Sunday, September 15, at 2:30 p.m. to benefit the Deschutes Children's Forest.
Guests on this trip will benefit too, as the cost has been discounted to $25 per person, with all proceeds going to the Deschutes Children's Forest.
Sun Country Tours President Dennis Oliphant, who is a longtime advocate of charities that serve children, says fundraising trips are a great way to give back to the community.
"Offering discounted trips and donating the proceeds supports charities we believe in," explains Oliphant. "And it's a great way to offer an incentive to the community to rally around a cause, as well as a way to thank the locals for their ongoing support. Additionally, the goals of the Deschutes Children's Forest are in line with our commitment to provide access for families to our incredible natural world."
In addition to volunteering his time to various organizations, Oliphant established the Sun Country Tours Foundation more than 20 years ago. The non-profit foundation donates more than $20,000 annually to regional organizations that specifically focus on youth, education and environmental causes.
"We are dedicated to the idea that all children in Central Oregon deserve a chance to explore, learn and play in nature," says Deschutes Children's Forest Coordinator Katie Chipko. "With children spending more and more time in front of a screen, and with childhood obesity rates on the rise, we feel that now more than ever we need to provide opportunities for children to connect with nature."
"The Deschutes Children's Forest and Sun Country Tours share the common goal of providing fun and exciting ways for families to enjoy nature, and the proceeds from this whitewater rafting trip will help us increase the number of students who participate in field experiences this school year, providing them with a meaningful connection to nature."
The Big Eddy Thriller is Sun Country Tours' most popular, and convenient, whitewater rafting adventure. This family-friendly trip is appropriate for kids ages 6 and older. Limited space is available for this trip, and reservations must be made in advance by calling Sun Country Tours at 541.382.6277.
About Sun Country Tours:
Sun Country Tours has been operating on the beautiful rivers of Oregon since 1978, and is widely recognized as one of the West's premier river outfitters. Specializing in family-fun whitewater rafting trips, Sun Country Tours was recently named the top activity to do with kids in Oregon by travel website Trekaroo.

At Trine you'll see that learning is never some static thing. It's what challenges and inspires us all at once. When we talk "academics," it's more than a word. It has no limits. And since we were founded, it never has.
Learning at Trine takes all kinds of forms. Whether it's an engineering, business, education, arts and sciences or health science degree, you'll go beyond classrooms and labs and have daily opportunities to breathe life into the knowledge and skills you're developing.
Travel to any small, private college in America and you're unlikely to find another that, on football Saturdays, brings the game ball to midfield by helicopter. Or has a championship golf course that's hosted PGA events and NCAA national championships right on campus. Or offers residence halls and apartment-style campus housing that feel more like a vacation resort than a university dorm. At Trine, you will.
Being a member of the nation′s oldest collegiate athletic conference, the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA), seeing over 600 student athletes participate in 23 varsity sports including men's and women's hockey starting Fall 2017, and having some of the finest facilities to field exciting NCAA Division III competitive events is what makes Trine athletes know their college experience will be something they will remember the rest of their lives.
At Trine, our commitment to excellence has formed the bedrock of our experience for well over a century. You'll see it, and you'll feel it, the second you step on our beautiful, 450-acre campus in Angola, Indiana.
If you're anything like us, you like to roll up your sleeves and get into it. Experience it. Feel it. Our personalized options for visiting campus will fit everyone.

French Farmhouse Milk Bottles
Since I'm a little pressed for time this week, I gave them a quick French makeover using Avery clear label paper. One image I printed from the Graphics Fairy - it's one of my favorites! I've used it on glassine bags, pillows - you name it! The other is one I purchased off of Etsy.
Working with the Avery clear paper is a bit challenging because of the air bubbles. I still have to flatten some of them out. What's nice is, though, you can peel the label off and start over as many times as you need to. It also gives the glass a somewhat frosted look where the label is.
I finished up with some blue rhinestones to match the white and blue theme we have going in the kitchen now. I was going to tie some tea-stained seam binding on each one, but opted for twine. Glad I did. I think the twine gives them more a farmhouse look, don't you?

Crying they got outcoached and they gave up on the running game too soon.
Saying Gore was getting 5 yards on every touch.
Not sure what they are talking about. Gore was getting some runs, but
he got stuffed for no gain on a 3rd and 6 at our 26 in the first drive.
Second drive he went -1 on first down, then 6 yards second down.
3rd is obvious pass play since you just ran it twice for a total of 5 yards.
3rd drive smith took one shot down the field got intercepted.
How is that giving up on the run after one play.
4th drive gore for 3, false start penalty, then gore for 8.
short pass failed on 3rd and 4, but you can't keep running
the ball and never passing. (unless your the giants in
the 4th quarter, HAHAHA!!). so 3rd and 4, missed
short pass.
5th drive they are first and 20 after holding penalty.
Gave it to gore he got 3 yards. Had to pass then,
got 12 yards on second, now they were 3rd and 5.
Maybe gore gets the 5 and maybe not, but
usually passing down on 3 and 5, pretty manageable.
missed pass, had to punt.
6th drive give it to kendal got 2 yards.
2nd down pass to MH for 7 yards.
3rd down intercepted on 3rd and 6 (after 5 yard penalty).
Up until then, smith was completing short passes, he was doing OK.
But at that point, they were down 20-3 and had to pass.
Overall I don't see when they gave up on run, unless the whiners
wanted their team to run EVERY down......

The experience of living for long periods of time in Europe, Asia, and America provided the foundation of my lifelong interest in the history of cross-cultural interactions. My academic trajectory began with studying Protestantism as a vehicle for the diffusion of scientific ideas across seventeenth-century northern Europe and England; then I went on to look at how metropolitan cultural values changed when transmitted to British America; and explored the colonial origins of American identity. These lines of inquiry led to an interest in the use of cultural instruments to legitimate power and authority, and to a study investigating how the conceptual package contained in the narrative of liberty produced by the American Revolution affected the political culture and the development of equal rights in the United States. My current work focuses on the phenomenon of interculturality and its theoretical underpinnings. Current CV.

Two very successful weekends at Hampton Downs brought bumper crowds to enjoy motor racing from bygone times. The unusual format of two full weekends of racing celebrated the career of New Zealand's only Formula One world champion, Denny Hulme.
The event had big fields of F5000 cars going hammer and tongs at each other for round five of the Tasman Cup Revival series, and fans were also treated to a display from another celebrated class.
The larger-than-life US-based Can-Am series cars were also in action. Hulme was one of the foremost drivers in the category, winning the championship twice - in 1968 and in 1970 - and runner-up in 1967, 1969 and 1972 while racing for Kiwi driver and constructor Bruce McLaren.
A collection of his on-track and off-track machinery was on display, including the Can-Am car he drove to win the 1968 title and a McLaren M23 F1 he drove in Formula One.
His Can-Am boat, racing truck and the BMW M3 he was driving when he suffered a fatal heart attack at Bathurst were also on show.
As well as the F5000s, fans saw one of the biggest fields of original specification Australian, New Zealand and US V8-engined Historic Muscle Cars on track.
The classic years of Group A racing were also re-visited with a field of 30-plus cars from all over New Zealand.
The international Formula Junior and Formula Three category - another class in which Hulme raced - had two grids on the first of the back-to-back weekends and a full grid of 37 on the second weekend.
Fans could watch Formula Junior and Formula Three cars from Brabham, Cooper, Elva, Emeryson, Gemini, Lola and Lotus; Italian-built racers from Autosud, Stanguellini, Taraschi and Volpini; Australian cars from Ausper, Donford, Elfin and Nota; and the NZ-built FMZ.
Veteran racer Kenny Smith, who raced F5000s in their heyday four decades ago, showed his class again with three wins at the opening weekend's racing.
It is even more impressive that Smith won it in a car rebuilt after a major accident at Manfeild and finished only hours before the event.
In the second weekend's action, Smith couldn't quite be as dominant and had to settle for three second places. Steve Ross picked up two wins and Clark Proctor took out the feature race.
Smith shouldn't be too concerned at not winning all six races, as he is in his 55th year of competitive racing, but still going strong.
The New Zealand Festival of Motor Racing's international appeal has grown over the past few years and it attracted more than 100 drivers from all over the world.
Group A - the type of car used in the Wellington Street Races - drew a big field and plenty of knowing nods from the knowledgeable crowd.
Formula Junior driver Pierre Tonetti, arguably the best driver in the world in the category, was unbeatable on his first visit to New Zealand in his two Brabham BT16s.
In the Historic Muscle Cars, New Zealand's top drivers took on the best from the Australian Muscle Car series. Tauranga's Dale Mathers and Peter Stevenson, and Aussies Ethan Lind and Ian Woodward were the stand-out drivers.
Roger Williams dominated the Can-Am encounters in his dark blue McLaren, and circuit owner Tony Roberts, and Barry Kirk-Burnand in their McLarens could not keep pace. Former two-time World Touring Car champion Paul Radisich hustled Paul Halford's excellent but older McLaren M1B with some of his former career's pizzazz to keep the others honest.
Next year, festival organisers will celebrate the life and times of one of the greatest automobile and racecar manufacturers - Ferrari. They promise an amazing selection of machinery and a packed programme of historic motor racing.

Hoooray! I've been eyeing the A3 3.2 awd all too seriously lately but now that the golf if definately getting the R32 pacakge in the US I can finally stop! 247hp, AWD, Six-speed or DSG---Nice. No word on pricing, but expect 34/35.
Looks very nice....now we need to have the Focus RS and Renualt clio sport v-6 over here for a good competition
I would settle for the Clio sport and the Focus ST, too. Hopefully if the R32 excedes sales expectations Ford will take notice and give us the hot Focus--and maybe GM will give us the hot Opel hatch as a Saturn Redline.
Maybe even a Peugeot.
The R32 is awesome, no doubt about it. I heard they were originally planning on dropping the new 3.6L 280HP V6 from the Passat into it. Too bad it wouldn't fit . The 3.2L is still a great engine.
IM not even sure who purchased the last R32...that thing seemed about 5k to expensive but then again so do the rest of the golfs...
The last-gen R32s have barely depreciated. The resale is almost as high as when they were new. And the people who bought them new how good of a vehicle they were getting and thought it was a pretty good deal.
I've seen one of the last model R32s around Cleveland. The owner replaced the frond body work, with some from a Jetta. I think it makes it look even better.
Darn...I was hoping for the R34, but I guess the A3 sort of picks up that segment, but not really.
"If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself" Ferdinand Porsche
Yep, It's so subtle compared to the last R32 v. Golf. The current golf is quite the looker..it's an excellent starting point.
My mistake. I meant the R36, which is the 3.6L with rumored 300HP/280-300tq. And it is 4 door.

Katherine Heigl Bares Her Bra
Katherine Heigl may have only appeared nude in two films, but she seems to have a sexy habit of stripping down to her bra and undies in many of her roles.
Katherine Heigl may have only appeared nude in two films, but she seems to have a sexy habit of stripping down to her bra and undies in many of her roles. She's notoriously known for being a prima donna on set, but we can look beyond that after catching a glimpse of her near-perfect body in one of the many roles she has played. Here are three of our favorite clips of Katherine flaunting her incredibly sexy figure for the world to see.
Side Effects
Side Effects may not have broken the box office (we can't even recall it playing in theatres), but there is one scene that we fouind online that makes us think we need to check the film out on Netflix. Katherine strips down to the bare essentials and prances around the room, teasing us with a striptease that sadly ends a little too soon.
Grey's Anatomy
Katherine is probably most best known for her role on the hit television series Grey's Anatomy, where she starred as the loveable and fierce Izzie Stevens. There was a lot of sex that went on at Seattle Grace Hospital, but this clip of Izzie taking her clothes off is not because she's about to score, but because she's trying to prove a point about how she utilized her body to get her through med school debt free.
100 Girls
This sexy scene was a part of the super- cheesy teen flick 100 Girls that came out in 2000. Basically, the lead character Matthew has the daunting task of finding his one true love, the dream girl he met in an elevator during a blackout in an all- girl's dorm in college. Matthew attempts to beat Katherine Heigl by cheating in a game of strip Foosball but unfortunately gets a little more than he bargaineds for after she finds out he's cheating.

Vegetarian Book please
I don't recall a Jamie Vegetarian cokbook? I really LOVE Jamie's recipes and hardly use anything else. However, my daughter has recently decided to eat vegetarian (well, pescatarian, actually, thank goodness). My hubby is not keen on meat, I'm not bothered, but my other daughter is a real carnivore. As you can imagine, mealtimes for the cook are a bit tricky and what I need are some vegetarian dishes that are so fantastically flavoursome (that's what Jamie is so good at) that the carnivore won't mind eating them!
Come on Jamie - don't let me down!

Re: Vegetarian Book please
Welcome to the forum druidswife
There are quite a number of recipes that are vegetarian amongst the pages of his books and also you can find quite a few good vegetarian recipes in the recipe sections of the forum.
I know that Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has written a vegetarian cook book after spending , I think it was 6 months only eating a vagetarian diet , the book 'River Cottage Veg everyday ' has some good recipes in it.
You might also like to look at 'Plenty' by Yottam Ottelenghi , I really like that book but it I know that some people find getting some of the spices and ingredients a little tricky I have never found this an issue myself .
Those 2 books are just vegetarian.
A loovely fish book that I have is by Mitch Tonks , its called FISH The Complete Fish and Seafood Companion , the recipes in it are clear and easy to follow .

If JO is not a vegetarian I don't see the point in putting out a book. If he has changed his eating habits I'll be the first to read it here though.

You don't have to be vegetarian to write good veggie recipes. Yotam Ottolenghi isn't a vegetarian.

Also Simon Rimmer (something for the weekend) is a self confessed carnivore and runs an award winning vegetarian restaurant and has written many cookbooks of which 2 or 3 are dedicated to vegetarian cooking.

The Destination
One of the country's most beautiful roads, the Blue Ridge Parkway winds through the signature silvery haze and oak-speckled peaks of the Appalachians. Tucked within this shady landscape—surrounded by the Pisgah Forest and the Blue Ridge Mountains—the tiny town of Mills River is overflowing with babbling brooks and lush groves, perfect for escaping summer heat. Here, guests can hike, bike, or raft through the North Carolina hills by day and devour delicious Southern cuisine by night. Just minutes from this storybook scene, downtown Asheville beckons with its farm-to-table restaurants, hip shops, and the famed Biltmore Estate.
The Digs
Named a top-ten romantic hotel by Everyday with Rachael Ray, the sophisticated Bed and Breakfast on Tiffany Hill will warm your heart with its elegant suites and picturesque setting in the western North Carolina foothills. "Owner Selena Einwechter used the pages of Southern Living to inspire every aspect of the B&B," says the magazine.
When you arrive, take a stroll through the six-acre grounds, stopping to steal a moment in one of the many gardens. You can borrow a novel from the library, or laze in front of a roaring fireplace. In the evening, retreat to the front porch at Tiffany Hill as you bask in the afterglow of an incredible day. Those with a passion for palate-pleasing fare can reserve a table for two at Hobnob Restaurant. Treat your better half to brie-topped puff pastries and Maryland-style crab cakes followed by a dessert of Grand Marnier chocolate mousse.
The Diversions
• Pisgah National Forest
• Biltmore Estate
• Chimney Rock
• Brevard Music Center
• DuPont State Forest
"Tiffany Hill is the best of the best when it comes to B&Bs. Beautiful, spotless, serene, upscale, unique...I can't think of enough wonderful words for this place."-- LivingSocial Member
