text: I had a dead battery which i replaced 2 months ago. I noticed that before the old battery had died the automatic lock doors would unlock themselves. I assumed this was a sign of the battery dying. Once I brought it to Kraigens to have the battery checked they just handed me a new one without trying to charge the old one. So after i Installed the new one I was running fine for about 2 month then I did not use the van for 4 days and had a dead battery again finding all the doors unlocked. I jumped the battery and it started up. And had the alternator tested just in case but it checked out fine. Since I'm paying attention now I'm noticing the doors unlock themselves once every few hours. This had been drawing my battery life and i would prefer to just disconnect automatic doors from the fuse box. Non of the fuses say there for the doors so I'm not sure which one to pull. or if there is another box I'm not finding. The one i did find does have window fuses and i tried them which of coarse did not stop the doors. If any one has any knowledge of the location of the fuse to pull I would really appreciate your help. I put a Link to a picture of the fuse box i have been using which is near the e-brake pedal.

Town Square
What can be done about teen drinking & drinking/driving
Original post made by Parent, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Nov 2, 2006
We have had a serious incident in our community recently and once again as parents we must bond together and help each other. Any ideas and information which can be shared will be welcome but we don't want to hear any negative comments about recent events, leave that to another thread.
Thank you.

One thing our kids need in their spare time is fun and somewhere to hangout. In my day it was the local youth club. From listening to some of those on this Forum who grew up around here, there used to be a lot of things for our youth to do. Now it seems from another post here that the bowling alley is going too. My kids have spent plenty of time hanging out there. They have been to costume bowling parties at Halloween, birthday bowling parties, disco bowl, etc. and most recently for the past couple of summers have had the opportunity to bowl one game a day free and then of course spent time (and money) eating snacks and using the arcade. If this place goes, the local youth have lost another good hangout place. If we can't provide some local "safe" places to hang out, then these young adolescents will find their own place to "party" and then the drinking will follow, probably with drugs, and the drinking/driving problem will kick in.
What the kids need is something to do weekend evenings that is healthy and safe. Please don't take away all these venues. They need to learn to be independent and act responsibly. They can't if there's nowhere for them to go.

From the post "The things I remember about Palo Alto while growing up: Web Link
Here is a listing of the kid-friendly venues from that post that are no longer with us:
- Palo Alto Drive-In Movie Theater
- The Century Liquor store strip was a roller rink
- Bowling at the Indian Bowl on Emerson Bowl
- Chuck Thompson's swim club next to the winter lodge
- Slot car racing track
- Palo Alto Yacht Harbor
- Sitting on the balcony at Swensen's Ice Cream
- The haunted house they always put on at the Lucy Stern center
- Sea Scout building
- Movie Theatre on California Ave
- Varsity Theater on University Ave. gave away BIKES to the kids . .
- Swimming at Cubberly's pool in the summer
- Fireworks at the PA Baylands
- Halloween at the Fire circle
- Old Mill Theaters
Perhaps there used to be more things for the kids to do.

I agree that teens need things to do. As a person who has posted many items on the "way Palo Alto used to be" page...I can also say that nothing was more of a priority -especially our senior year, than drinking at a house party. There was a "teen center" night that the city put on at Mitchell park - but for the most part- we went there to see who was out and to find out where the parties were. We also hung out at Pizza A GoGo, but things were few and far between. I think it is more important that we educate our kids on how to be responsible as well as to really understand consequences. When I see some of these kids in beautiful new cars, text messaging and wearing $250 jeans- I wonder how much they are learning about consequence and the real world. I have to earn my own jeans. :-)
It is very hard to connect with the teen community. As a parks & rec employee for many years (not in PA anymore)- we were always trying to figure out how to engage teens. Yes, places to hang out are EXTREMELY important and I fully agree with that comment. You need the "right" people to be a friend & a mentor as well as be "cool" enough to hang out with. It's great for 11-14 year olds but we are very "uncool" for the 15 & up crowd. We tend to put more effort into the preteens because we feel we can "save" & educate them I guess. We lose them when they can drive. I encourage everyone to ask their children to get involved with their local parks & rec. Most have a Youth & Teen committees that plans events, etc. Also, it will give them something good for their college applications.
I think it is a combination of parent involvement and community support. "It takes a village to raise a child"

I have just posed the question on another thread, but where do the teens get the money or the opportunity to get alcohol from. Are our teens getting too much money and freedom to allow this. I have heard many adults saying that they drank as teens, but where did they get their money and and opportunity for acquiring alcohol. I grew up in a middle class community, but certainly neither my friends or myself had money for this. Our money was spent on more lasting pleasures like make-up, records, busfares and hippy jewellery. Just to see a movie would cost me a week's allowance including the busfare to get there. I did do a lot of babysitting, but usually saved that so I could have money to spend at camps or to go swimming. My money was precious so I had to be careful how I spent it. Those who drank or smoked usually had to steal from their parents. So, is this where our teens are getting the money from, and if not, where? Or are we just giving them too much money, too much opportunity and not enough of a watchful eye on their freedoms?

My children were in Palo Alto High Schools during the late '70s. Drinking was a problem in those days and parents were in denial as they are now....."not my kids...no way...never" I could not believe their attitude then and it seems worse these days.

According to PA Online, home page, there will be a forum to discuss this very issue on Nov. 30 at Lucie Stern. They want questions in advance. I think this is a very important topic and we should certainly do our best to attend and prepare ourselves in advance as to what questions we have.

After we had got back from our excellent adventure on the Salt Flats we took a bus to Potosi, again a bit of a bone shaker but not as bad as the one to Uyuni. We arrived in Potosi, the world's highest city (4070m) and a Unesco World Heritage Site. The city was founded in 1545 following the discovery of ore deposits in the mountain, and proved to be very lucrative. The streets were literally paved with silver, due to this it grew into the largest and wealthiest city n Latin America
Potosi itself is a charming city with a population of 150,000. We spent some time strolling through the narrow lanes and looking up at the old colonial buildings. Our main objective while here though was to experience how the miners worked and lived. We decided to take a tour of the mines with a company called the 'real deal'. A fairly new team of ex-miners had set up the tour company to show people how the mines are run and how miners work in the mines. The money paid to them is distributed equally to the guides and a donation given to miners. We had met a few other travellers at our hostel and met them on the day of our tour at the real deal office. One American guy who looked a bit like Peter Jackson joined our group but more about him later.
Before we went to the mine we purchased some non-alcoholic beverages and Coca leaves for the miners, after seeing the miners you can understand why they need the gifts, they look knackered.
The Coca leaves we purchased are chewed by the miners daily, they can get through up to three bags a day. These leaves although containing a very small amount of cocaine do not give them the same effect. We tried chewing it and it gave an anaesthetic effect in the mouth. The miners will keep the leaves in their mouth for hours producing a gigantic ball. In the pictures look closely at the side of the miners mouth and you will see a bulge.
The first part of the tour took us to a refinery plant where the silver is separated from the rock (see video). The second part took us inside the mine. This was fantastic and at some points made us very anxious. The conditions that the miners have to work in harsh. The height of the tunnels are so low that many of the workers have back problems, in fact you can see a picture of Danny with a miner and clearly see that he has a hunch back.
Although the conditions are harsh, the miners seemed to be enjoying themselves, it was Friday when we went and like most of us, they liked to have a drink or two or three. Now lets get back to Gregg. He joined us on our tour but was not feeling too well before the start
After we exited the mine we witnessed a pink fluffy stuffed bunny being blown up by dynamite (see videos), this is usually frowned upon, but we have to it was fun.. We then watched sunset over the mountain. A perfect end to a great day.

49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and tight end Vernon Davis were so far off from being on the same page last year, they probably weren't reading the same book. Davis caught six passes from Kaepernick for 61 total yards over the last five games of the 2012 regular season. However, their chemistry together grew in the playoffs and now, according to CSN Bay Area's Matt Maiocco, it is "seemingly unstoppable."
Maiocco writes that a laser-like pass down the seam from Kaepernick to Davis, who has blown past defenders, for 25 yards or more has become the play that defines 49ers training camp.
"Last year when [Kaepernick] first got the starting job, we'd be at practice and he'd keep overthrowing me," Davis said. "I'd be running as fast as I possibly could and Colin just kept overthrowing me. Now we get out there and it's night and day. He puts the ball right there. Man, he's come a long way. I'm very impressed."
Fantasy Analysis:
We have heard this kind of story about these two for most of the summer. There are concerns about Kaepernick's receiving corps as a whole -- perhaps Jon Baldwin can soothe those concerns a little bit -- but I think Davis is prepped for a huge year as Kaepernick's top target. As I have said here many times before, Davis should follow only Jimmy Graham and maybe Rob Gronkowski off of the TE draft board.


text: that is a mighty fine blacksnake you have there. I live on the river and have blacksnakes and watersnakes visit often. Killing them was futile. If I kept the grass constantly mowed, basically making the living conditions for small animals less than desirable, the snakes left with the small animals (frogs, lizards, moles, etc). I also have 2 hawks, an osprey, and 3 eagles that keep the place under control too, but for me, keeping the grass down was key.

Any one out there have a preference on one or the other? It seems the 2 Gal would require less attention.
Any one out there have a preference on one or the other? It seems the 2 Gal would require less attention.
I wasn't even aware there were 2 gal frame feeders. With 2 gal, while you might have to come back less often, I would think the disadvantage would be it displaces 2 frames instead of 1.
All our deeps have a permanent 1 gal division feeder. This way we can feed at any time and don't need to be carrying boxes around to put the feeders/frames in as they are replaced.
When we needed to do mass feeding for overwintering we used large hive top feeders that held (I think )4 gallons, maybe 3.
hivetop feeders--easy to manage and no direct exposure of bee to the elements.
I like to have a frame feeder in every brood chamber. I leave them in year round. I don't care to replace them with a frame. It's such a pain. We are in poor honey producing area (having said those words we're sure to have a bumper crop this year), so I feed often. I like to keep the hives populous. We are a pollinating business and we also sell hives, nucs. It's all for sale for the right price. That being said I like being able to feed all hives at any given time. I also like to turn hives into cell builders at any given location. I'll take capped brood out and the queen reduce to 1 box and voila cell builder. Now I feed them, graft 2-3 hours later after we've made the cell builders. All brood chambers having a frame feeder I don't have to worry about carting that equipment around.
I suppose the extra volume of 2 gallons is good, requiring less visits for feeding. If hives are very light we also feed the bottom box. I know it's a pain but it's usually not that many hives that require this. If they are drastically light there are always supersize feeders, you know drums. I usually never let colonies get in that state.

Hi Guys,
I've kept BOB's in Wyoming. They're native to the wetter parts of the state.
But I'm now in S. Florida and don't know a think about native bees here. Looking at BOB's life cycle, I doubt they would survive here in USDA plant zone 10b.
Anyone use or raise native pollinators in the southeast.
A small box of solitary, native pollinators could make a neat addition to a condo patio, where the discovery of a hive of bees would get a full emergency response including a lockdown of the public schools. No kidding! That happened yesterday down here.

Were we a better team than Washington in both those losses in 2011? Yes. They just beat us those two days.
I don't know why some of you guys are so sensitive. Like its some kind of personal insult.

With the right team McClain can do wonders
With the right team McClain can do wonders
didn't he just pull a gun on someone in Georgia during the off-season? These players are too busy trying to be wannabe rap superstars or thugs that they forget the huge opportunity that has been given to them
If he passes waivers, why not? I'm never against a low risk-high reward move.
Word is he didn't show up to practice today, however, he is still officially on the roster.
Sure Reese could have told JPP they were going to take him if he were available, but that could also have been with the knowledge that McClain wouldnt have fallen to us. I'm not saying he had one graded higher than the other, just that no one but Reese knows who he had where.
I really hope the Giants put in a Waiver claim for him!!

On Monday, the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) rejected the Georgia Aquarium's request to import 18 whales that were captured off the coast of Russia.
The Georgia Aquarium, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is the world's largest aquarium. It is already home to four belugas, or white whales. In 2012, the aquarium requested 18 additional whales to help people learn more about the species and improve breeding efforts.
A law says that belugas can only be brought into the U.S. and put on display if there is an educational reason for doing so, they are captured without being hurt, and their capture doesn't harm the local population of whales. Under this law, NOAA denied the aquarium's request.
"Naturally, this is deeply disappointing to the dedicated Georgia Aquarium scientists and animal care professionals who have worked so diligently to help ensure the sustainability of beluga whales in human care at our facility and others in North America," the aquarium said in a statement, upon receiving the news that their request had been denied.
In a letter to the aquarium, NOAA said that the proposal did not meet guidelines under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which prohibits the importation of marine animals without a permit. In order to receive permission, the aquarium had to prove that the import would not harm the population of belugas living near Russia. NOAA says that the live capture of the whales has contributed to the population's significant decline.
The Great Debate
Belugas are smart, social animals that live in groups called pods. "Belugas are very important to our polar oceans," Michael Payne, who works for NOAA, told TFK. "They're a key member of the whale family in those waters."
More than 210 belugas currently live in aquariums and zoos around the world. Many people believe that keeping belugas in captivity will help aquarium visitors learn about the species and will help scientists protect it. But many people and animal rights groups believe belugas should stay in the ocean to survive. Critics of keeping belugas in captivity say that the whales are being used for entertainment, instead of to help their survival. These groups are celebrating NOAA's decision.
The Georgia Aquarium has 60 days to appeal the decision in court. "We remain committed to working on behalf of beluga whales and all marine life through education, conservation, exceptional animals care, research and public display," the aquarium's statement says.

Sometimes there are images that capture you the minute you set your eyes on them. You can spend hours studying the minute details and the care taken to set up the composition. The colors, the lighting, the styling all bring together a powerful atmosphere that makes you go "WOW!" … and that does not change even after you have viewed the images several times over.
Sabra Krock is one such photographer who takes such images. We are extremely proud to have her with us here on the Plate to Page blog as she shares her experience and allows us a closer look into her world of stunning creativity.
Thank you Sabra!
How did you get started?
Believe-it-or-not, I was a management consultant in the consumer goods area (went to business school, previously worked on wall street!) and decided that I really wanted to run my own business. I took a break to think through ideas and business plans, and as I was doing that, I really pursued my passion for food by being adventurous in the kitchen, starting a food blog (now called Spoonful www.spoonfulblog.com), and teaching myself photography, primarily for the purpose of the blog. I started a dog product company (which I still run) but as time went on, I found myself devoting more and more time to photography and really loving it. I really doubled down and learned as much as I could. Soon I was photographing for clients and photography became its own business.
Why did you choose this field?
I really didn't choose it - it just sort of happened organically. I have always been very visually inclined and think in terms of images. When I see a tabletop item or interesting surface I cannot help but see the possibilities for a photograph. Food photography allows me to combine my love of art and food (my food and still life work can be seen at www.sabrakrock.com). I now also photograph babies and children (another love!) which adds another dimension to my work and another revenue stream. That work can be seen at www.sabrakrockkids.com.
What has changed over the years, in your opinion?
Styles are constantly evolving which is part of the fun. You have to keep up with trends while still being true to yourself. Food styling has evolved to look more natural and "loose". Colors and moods change. Another big change is the sheer number of photographers in the industry combined with the shrinking of the print world. I am part of that new wave of photographers - it is making it harder and harder to be fairly compensated for your work.
How has your style changed or developed or evolved?
It is constantly evolving and I am always trying new things. I think my work, along with the trends, has become less "planned" looking although it is still very deliberate. I incorporate a lot of vintage or rustic items into the props I use (I am a huge flea market fanatic!). I spend a lot of time looking at other people's work and sometimes try to re-create what they've done from a lighting standpoint in order to learn. The trick is taking what you see and like and learning from it while making it your own.
One or two things you learned along the way:
- You have to value yourself and not sell yourself short when you are pricing your work. Underselling yourself only makes it harder for you to run a business and makes it harder for everyone else to stick to their price points. I've become willing to walk away from a situation that doesn't make sense, as much as it disappoints me to lose the work.
- Push yourself. both in terms of technique and style. I try not to have overly fixed ideas of what I'm going to do in a shoot. I always start with a plan but once I have the intended shot, I try different things that I didn't originally plan for - often times I end up with something I like better than my original idea. I also try to reserve time on my own to try new techniques, for example a new lighting set up. It's important to keep learning and evolving.

Bevets is a sweet little boy who loves jesus and the bible. He was born a little odd on account of my having sat on a bag of mothballs when I was pregnant, but he's a darling little scooch anyway, and he just loves posting on that internet. We've had to buy him a bunch of computers because he can't control his drooling problem so well, but it's worth it so that he has an opportunity to play with his internet friends. Sometimes he gets so mad at them! It's adorable! In order to help him argue about jesus, we had cousin Steve (Steve knows lots about computers) write up something called a "Pearl Scripp" that makes it so that any button Bevets hits with those fat little fingers automatically posts a new bible quote or a pointed excerpt from one of those evil evolutionary biologists. He sure does love it, and when he shouted "THANKS UNKA STEVE" it was about the cutest thing ever. I'm so glad he has the internet to play with, because god knows the neighbors were getting tired of him raping those chickens.

This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'
On this week's edition of "The Hal Lindsey Report," I'll discuss the situation in which Israel finds itself after the first week of May, 2009:
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has issued a new call for the destruction and removal of the Zionist 'germ.'
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich weighs in with his assessment of how U.S. President Barack Obama's policies are placing Israel in harm's way.
Israeli President Shimon Peres raises eyebrows when he declares that the new government of Binyamin Netanyahu wants peace with the Palestinians, but falls short of endorsing the magical "two-state solution." Then, President Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, shoots back that Israel must embrace the two-state solution or the West will not challenge Iran on the issue of nuclear weapons. In other words, "do it our way or else!"
A new poll taken among Israel's citizens suggests that a whopping majority of Israelis support a strike against Iran's nuclear facilities no matter what President Obama thinks. Furthermore, a huge majority -- almost 75% of Israelis -- like the United States, but two-thirds of them don't trust its new President (a dramatic change from the 75% who thought of George W. Bush as Israel's friend).
The new government in Israel is preparing for a confrontation with Iran. Air Force reservists assigned to the nation's missile defense system are now spending one day each week training to counter an attack from Iran with dozens of long-range Shahab missiles. But they're not the only ones 'war-gaming' a conflict with Iran. A study issued by the Center for Strategic and International Studies suggests that in such a conflict, Israel could suffer hundreds of thousands of casualties, but Iran would probably lose tens of millions! The report even notes that if Syria entered the fray, it could lose Damascus and millions of its citizens. Does that sound familiar?
But as dangerous and deadly as Iran appears to be, that threat pales in comparison to the one emerging from Pakistan. The possibility that the government of Pakistan could fall to the Taliban has the entire world taking notice. Radically extreme Islamic militants with their fingers on the button of 100 nuclear warheads is something nobody (not even other Islamic governments) wants to contemplate! But it may be chillingly close to becoming reality!
On a more positive note, I'll introduce you to our new website: The Hal Lindsey Report. We've been working on it a long time, and it's finally up and running! I think you'll find it to be a valuable resource as you navigate your way through these 'last days.'

Ladouceur, LS (May lost out to Huglett this year) Daniel Loper (doubt he makes this team) Stephen McGee, QB (Hope he doesn't make this team.) Kevin Ogletree, WR (playing for a new contract) John Phillips, TE (50/50 they let him go after this year) Anthony Spencer, OLB (We already know he is not getting a long term deal at this point.) C.J. Wilson, CB (doubt he makes this team) That's 9 players who might make this team in 2012. Of those 9 you can pretty much bet 7 of the players will not be back in 2013. Here are the RFAs. Teddy Williams, CB (gone) Javarris Williams, RB (longshot for PS) Mana Silva (gone) Akwasi Owusu Ansah, DB (gone) Danny McCray, S (could stick) Orie Lemon, ILB (Could stick) Clifton Geathers, DE (50/50 he makes this team) Phil Costa, C (Makes 2012 team, would they bring him back?) Barry Church, S (Made the team and will get a new deal.) Rob Calloway, NT (50/50 between he and Brent for the backup NT role) Mario Butler, CB (made the team IMO, could be brought back) Baraka Atkins, OLB (gone) That makes 7 of this list who might make this team. I think at best 3 of them will be brought back in 2013. That means barring injuries or retirements, we will shuffle about 12 new faces into the deck in 2013. Because of this I put the 2013 draft needs as follows. 1. Center 2. OLB 3. OG 4. RB 5. WR 6. TE If Doug Free continues to struggle in any way I will move RT way up my list. It is my belief that we would probably target OLB in the first round over OL. I expect the Longhorns crowd to start thinking Alex Okafor, and I honestly do not mind this idea if Spencer is not wrapped up and Butler leaves as well. I kind of hope Adrian Hamilton is a diamond in the rough, but I don't mind finding a bookend in the draft either. My early pet cat is Brandon Jenkins of Florida State. This will not deter me in any way from pimping Barrett Jones of Alabama as our answer in 2013's Draft. I think it is a weak RB class, so I wouldn't look before round 4, and I would try to find a guy who can be a KR/PR too. Perhaps a Geovani Bernard from UNC. WR may not be an issue we focus on if Ogletree or the young guns (Beasley, Coale, Harris, and Holmes) come through. OL is. I would prefer we take Ol with 2 of our first 3 picks and think if we don't it better mean Livings and Bernadeau were all everything for us in 2012. Would Dallas look for a QB for the future so soon after acquiring Orton as insurance? I think that depends but I can see us drafting one around the 4th to groom as McGee tried to. My early pet there might be Casey Pachall of TCU. We shall see. Rip it apart. Add your 2 cents. Let's see what we all think.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration has given states another month to decide what role, if any, they'll play in carrying out the new health care law.
Instead of having to declare their intentions by Friday, states now have until Dec. 14, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a letter Thursday evening to Republican governors who had requested more time.
Most states are still expected to announce their choices by Friday, but a check by The Associated Press found that 16 states are still mulling over their decisions.
That includes Florida, where Gov. Rick Scott long opposed the law and now says he wants to work with the Obama administration. New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania are also in the undeclared column.

Monday June 30,2014 : DANSKE SPIL ACQUIRES MAJORITY SHAREHOLDING IN GAMES DEVELOPER
Danish state monopoly bags 60 percent of CEGO.
The former Danish state gambling monopoly Danske Spil appears to be strengthening its in-house online gambling content development facilities with the acquisition of 60 percent of the stock of Aalborg-based games supplier CEGO Limited for an undisclosed consideration last week.
The agreement includes a provision that the current owners will stay on board and manage operations going forward from the Aalborg studios, which draw IT talent from a nearby university.
CEGO has enjoyed success with its games website Spilnu.dk, according to local media reports, which quoted CEGO's chief Mads Peter Veiby as being positive about the takeover and the valuable synergies it creates for both parties to the deal.
Veiby is respected in Denmark as the driver of telecommunications company M1, which was acquired by Telmore and has since become a part of Telmore brand. He is also a permanent panelist in TV2/Nords business magazine Business Club.

Nicaragua Day 3
Day three has come and gone so quickly! Our time perception warp zone is still strong, and even though it feels as though we have just arrived, it is still hard to remember what we did this morning.
What I do recall is that we awoke in the blissful calm of Roberto's farmhouse again this morning. After a hearty breakfast (eggs, bacon, rice, beans, fried corn, etc, etc, etc) we hit the road to the city of Jinotega, about an hour north of Matagalpa. Before we left, we made a quick stop at Roberto's elementary school and daycare that is on the farm and visited the children. There were not too many kids today, but our guide Eduardo, the general manager of El Quetzal, told us that at the peak of harvest there could be up to 90 infants in the daycare at a time.
Once we got our quota of cute little kid smiles, Patrick making his baby face, and Buenos dias! we hit the road. Paul was our driver today, since Roberto needed to head back to Managua. He did an admirable job, although I must say that he had trouble keeping up with the pickup truck with two armored guards carrying our luggage…(Dad, don't worry, he was the safest driver we've had).
We arrived in Jinotega at 9:38, only 8 minutes behind schedule (!!!) and sauntered into Aldea Global to meet up with our next host, Warren. Warren is an ex-Peace Corps volunteer, who has lived in Nicaragua for the past 11 years developing a cooperative coffee growers association. Aldea Global supports small loans for farmers, as well as a host of other social initiatives including supporting education for women as well as water filtration and coffee infrastructure projects. I would love to gush on and on about Aldea Global, but I won't do it justice, and if you are interested, I suggest that you visit their website.
Next stop was a "quick" bumpy ride to visit the farms of the members of the Aldea Global Coop. I rode in the truck with Warren along with the members of the Board of Directors from Aldea Global, and along the way we discussed the coffee cycle of Nicaragua, the manmade lake that supplies most of the power for Nicaragua, the local and national politics of the country (apparently the President of Nicaragua is both a Socialist and a Communist, but new elections are soon), and the fish salesmen on the side of the road. I know it sounds random, but the conversation was entertaining and I learned a lot of things about Nicaragua that I would not have found out anywhere else.
Once we arrived at the farm, we had a quick meeting with 5 Aldea Global farmers. Two of them were organic farmers, and the rest conventional. The average farm size was 2 manzanas (1 manzana= 1.67 acres). We made long introductions and then Paul asked the farmers how they felt about this year's harvest. In Central America, this year's harvest came right at the time that the coffee market was spiking, around late November. The result was that the farmers benefitted from the higher coffee prices this year, well above 2 dollars per pound commoditized. All of the farmers recognized that they had earned more this year, but also noted that all of their other costs were up: the labor department had raised the minimum wage, erratic rain cycles had destroyed most of the bean and corn crop and food prices were through the roof. Fertilizer and coffee supplies were higher because everyone knew that the farmers were going to earn more for their crop this year. Even against these obstacles, the small gain that the farmers made this year were all spent investing in the small farms. Each farmer acknowledged that the most valuable investment that he could make was to invest more money into trees and infrastructure that would give him more returns in the future. One farmer commented that when he first moved to Jinotega he only had a house made of plastic tarps, and now we were sitting in his home, made of all wood. He still has dreams rebuilding his home out of cement, so this year he spent his extra money on buying new coffee trees to plant for the next year.
The day was long, beautiful eventful, informative, and overall delightful. I know this is a cheap cop-out, but I am too tired to describe it. We all learned a lot, and I spent much of the day staring out of the window, reveling in the reality of my job. I also had a severe case of carpolepsy, and missed much of the ride back into town.
For dinner we wandered around the small town of Jinotega, and settled on the best restaurant, which, shockingly, gave us rice, beans, meat, and French fries. Not such a bad way to end the day. Now, we are all sitting around, playing card and dice games, reminiscing about the time we have spent here. Some of the highlights include Patrick speaking his first words in Spanish for the whole trip (shocking everyone) "Mi nombre es Patrick. Yo soy el Presidente!" Paul also introduced himself, "Mi hombre, Paul!"
The night is just wrapping up, and we are all settling into the night, drinking some Toños, rolling dice, betting cordobas, and getting into all sorts of laughing fits.
Hasta Mañana!!!

This is my formula:
1.0 One part BevSweet that is 10% diluted with water for ease of pumping.
2.0 One part dried pollen.
3.0 one ten pound bag of C&H cane sugar which I think is better than sugar beet.
1.0 Mark & fill a 5 gallon bucket ,at the one part measure, with the syrup.
2.0 Pour the dried pollen over the top of the syrup.
3.0 Mix the pollen into the syrup. I use a plastering mixer and a heavy duty 1/2" variable drill on very slow rpm. The pollen will mix and then float on top. Mix slowly a few times and let it set so that the pollen can absorb the moisture in the syrup.
4.0 Pour the ten pound sack of C&H cane sugar on top of the mix.
5.0 by hand, push the mixer up and down to get the sugar into the bottom of the mix. Or, just run the mixer on very slow and push it into the sugar to get it incorporated.
6.0 Let the mix set over night and use accordingly. If the mix is too runny ad more sugar or a dry pollen substitute. Soyflour will work too.
7.0 Place the pollen patties between wax paper and place over the brood nest.
8.0 The BevSweet syrup is highly attractive to bees and the granulated sugar was used to absorb moisture
9.0 The runny mix can be placed in food trays with a low rim and BevSweet can be poured over the top.
10.0 If you eliminated some of the granulated sugar you can smear the mix into empty drawn out combs and place it next to the cluster.
The bees wil be very thankful
11.0 The above information can be used as a hot shot early feeding followed by commercial patties.
Once the bees start brooding up they will take the commercial patties.
12.0 The total mix will be close to 5 gallons and that will make a lot of pollen patties.
13.0 Store the mix in a cold place.
Hope this is helpful,
Lucas Apiaries

My question is whether the honey that is in the hive is still edible, or if the mice contaminated it? The top box hasnt been touched by mice. Thanks

Trends, fashion, celebrities, events, music, and all things only Vegas
It's Friday afternoon -- the perfect time to think about Happy Hour, and downing a cold one.
In Vegas, there are plenty of places to enjoy a variety of beers, including some where it's brewed on site. We'll tap into a few of them, but be sure to check out LasVegas.com for a lengthy list of places where you can find your favorites.
The Triple 7 Restaurant and Brewery at Main Street Station in downtown Las Vegas is a great place to start. This microbrewery offers five varieties to choose from (and you can get a sampler of all of them, too): High Roller Gold, Royal Red Lager, Market Pale Ale, Blackchip Porter and Triple 7's featured brew of the month.
Also downtown, the Chicago Brewery and Cigar Lounge at the Four Queens offers handcrafted brews along with a unique selection of appetizers, pizzas and entrees, and of course a fine selection of cigars.
The Pub at Monte Carlo recently introduced new beer selections and a new menu to enhance your experience and Todd English P.U.B. at Crystals inside City Center has creative delicacies and a full raw bar showcasing the best of the sea and a selection of 30 premium beers.
The new Ri Ra Las Vegas inside Mandalay Bay features live music, a comprehensive drink list and Irish fare that defies pub standards, and while you are there, be sure to pop by the first official Guinness store in the United States next door at Mandalay Place.
For a cozy atmosphere, you can also check out the Tenaya Creek Brewery at La Quinta Inn and Suites Northwest Tech Center in Summerlin and off the strip, Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant has plenty to quench any thirst.
Ah, now we're ready for the weekend! Bottoms up!

Actually, the stakes never feel high in first-time writer/director Hue Rhodes's listless drama about a reformed gambling addict (Steve Buscemi) still itching for scratch tickets. Not a man to mix with Sin City — yet that's exactly where Buscemi's milquetoast John Alighieri (Dante alert!) heads when he leaves behind his desk job and bosomy cubicle mate (Sarah Silverman) to investigate an insurance-fraud claim.
Manning the wheel of his descent into temptation: an insane, and perhaps crooked, colleague named Virgil (the unsung Romany Malco). At each increasingly bizarre pit stop, Rhodes stokes the "Inferno" metaphor (lots of fire, a thug dubbed Lou Cipher), but he never transcends self-conscious quirkiness.
And the indie trifecta of clunky voiceover, scrambled chronology, and dream sequences can't fatten the slight story. Pity there isn't more of Peter Dinklage as John's wormy supervisor. Given the dominant motif, he's the ultimate boss from Hell.

Ultra Connexin™ by American Biologics may support your joints and connective tissues with a wide array of ingredients that includes glucosamine. This supplement provides two types of glucosamine—glucosamine sulfate and N-acetyl glucosamine—that may work to maintain healthy cartilage. Since cartilage is a form of connective tissue that cushions your joints' Ultra Connexin™ may help address mild joint pain and stiffness.
Other nutrients in Ultra Connexin™ could offer further support for cartilage and other types of connective tissue. For example' L-proline and L-lysine are amino acids that may work to build collagen and elastin (two proteins found in connective tissue)' while selenium is a trace mineral with anti-inflammatory properties that may promote joint comfort.
Finally' every serving of Ultra Connexin™ also contains herbs like hawthorn extract that may preserve connective tissues. Hawthorn is a good source of bioflavonoids like quercetin and oligomeric procyandins (OPCs); due to their antioxidant properties' these bioflavonoids may be able to protect your cells from free radicals.
Take two capsules of American Biologics' Ultra Connexin™ twice daily with meals. At the recommended dosage' each 120-capsule bottle should last for about one month.

Implementing International Accounting Standards in the Public Sector (IPSAS) as part of wider finance reform.
As a result of the global financial crisis, governments across the world are having to cope with substantial pressure due to restricted budgets and increased demand for public goods and services. As a result, public-sector entities at all levels of government are facing unprecedented demands for improvement in the management of public finances.
In response, many of these organisations are undertaking a range of reforms to increase accountability and transparency, whilst also improving operational performance and the Value for Money (VFM) that the general public and individual consumers receive from public-sector services and activities. One essential reform for improving the management of public finance is the implementation of accrual accounting compliant with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS).

|MBMJ coat, BB Dakota fur vest, Karen Kane polka dot blouse (c/o), Gap jeans, Dolce Vita boots, Warby Parker 'Owen' glasses
I have terrible vision; glasses aren't something I'm seen in public often due to the sheer thickness of the lenses. I know big frames have been trendy for awhile, but seeing as I wore these exact glasses as a first grader (it was NOT trendy then, I assure you), I had hesitation jumping on that wagon. However, it's been over five years since I've ordered new glasses so I bit the bullet and ordered some big ol' Warby Parker frames. They're still thick and coke bottle-esque, which I think it gives me s street cred. No fake glasses for me; oh no, these babies are 100% real and I have the prescription to prove it.
P.S. This is a typical, cold-weather, weekend outfit for me--layers, boots and very minimal makeup; what's yours?

The day I found Find a Grave, I was on a grave hunting trip to Pennsylvania, dragging my long-suffering husband, John, with me while I took hundreds of digital photos of family graves! I also have a shoebox sized file box of "analog" photos, as well as records of other burials in places I have never visited! Since then, I have uploaded all my new photos and scanned most of my old ones! It's been a labor of love. Occasionally, I still find entries I've made that contain a note saying I plan to scan and upload a photo at a later time, if you see one of these, please drop me a note reminding me to do so. Obviously I have missed it.
I have been working on my family history since 1996, and most of my contributions are my own dead relatives, but I've always loved cemeteries, and sometimes I think my obsession with genealogy is just an excuse to walk thru old graveyards!
I also have (or can scan) better copies of most of the grave photographs that I have posted here. Please email me if you would like me to send you a larger copy!
I'm also on
now if anyone is interested!
Also feel free to contact me with corrections or additions to the info I've posted or to request transfers of your relatives memorials. I have recently changed the email address that I use for Find a Grave due to problems with AOL blocking the notifications from this site. You can contact me at my gmail account, or at my AOL address:
I'm going to say right here that I ALWAYS give permission for people to use my FaG photos for your own research or to share elsewhere for genealogy or other research related websites, but I would really appreciate a note attached to the file saying where you found the pictures! I have started seeing a lot of the photos I've uploaded here shared on Ancestry.com without attribution. I WANT to share, but it bothers me that so many people are using pictures without bothering to say where they got them!
I love the automatic correction options and I try to check several times a week for new edits! I also tried the Photo Transcription option for the first time recently and loved how easy it made it to add several photos quickly!
Don't be afraid to ask for transfers of any of your family graves I might have entered. My personal policy is much more liberal than the official Find a Grave policy. Generally, I'll transfer anyone who is not a close relative to me!

Frederick W. Bush family
I am looking for descendants of Frederick W. Bush (born 1829) Frederick, his wife, and children are buried in west Finley Cemetery.
My husband and I have been researching Henry H. Bush (1928-1875) of Greene and Washington Counties in PA. We believe that Frederick was his brother.

RE: Boot Hill Cemetery in Ogallala, NE.
I could definitely type out the bios from the brochure and I would do it as an edit "other", so that the memorial would be right there to click on and all you would have to do is copy and paste it in. How does that sound? It will take me several weeks to do by doing a few at a time, but the end result will be excellent. And besides you wouldn't want them all at once either. So I'll do a few every few nights. Let me know that you feel this will work for you.

I inspected my hives on Monday and found every one had pinch bugs on the inner cover. I've never seen nor heard of pinch bugs around a hive. Has anyone else experienced them.
The hives and nucs were all fine so it doesn't seem like a problem. Just something odd to me.

Apple's automotive invasion continues, with Honda's announcement that Siri Eyes Free will come to three models this year. That follows Chevrolet's integration of Apple's virtual assistant last fall, a trend that will continue throughout the year as seven more automakers look to Cupertino for help.
But this is about much more than putting Apple's virtual assistant into cars. It's about giving automakers voice controls on the cheap and giving drivers what they really want: a seamless connection between their iPhone and their car.
"[The] iPhone has become so integral to people's lives that they continue to use them in their vehicles," said Vicki Poponi, assistant VP of product planning for American Honda. "Offering Honda and Acura owners Siri and its Eyes Free mode via Bluetooth is an incredible opportunity to provide next-generation connectivity and meet our customer's ever-changing needs."
Siri will be available to owners of the 2013 Honda Accord, all-new Acura RLX and ILX later this year through a dealer-installed software update. Although Honda isn't providing a price or exact date, a Honda spokeswoman told Wired no additional hardware is required, which means Siri functionality could relatively easily and cheaply expand to other Honda and Acura models.
Activating Siri Eyes Free while driving is dead simple. Driver's long-press the steering wheel-mounted voice control button to access Siri and issue commands using microphones embedded in the vehicle. Want to use the car's built-in voice control? A short press on the same button bypasses Siri altogether — a smart implementation we expect other automakers to duplicate.
The integration allows drivers to use Siri to make calls, dictate text messages, play music or podcasts and access nearly everything else the virtual assistant has control over. And just to ensure drivers aren't taking their eyes off the road, the iPhone's screen won't illuminate during the interactions, so don't expect to see Yelp recommendations or Google search results in your peripheral vision.
For automakers like Honda, which are having a hard time keeping pace with competitors and the consumer electronics world, Siri Eyes Free integration is a voice-controlled lifeline. They can offer the features customers want without having to expend massive resources on on-board or data-connected voice recognition systems. It's simply a matter of getting the cars' systems to play nicely with Siri, particularly the embedded microphones, which have to clearly pick up on voice commands while eliminating extraneous background noise.
But in a twist to the natural order of in-car tech, the only vehicles to integrate Siri thus far are at the low end of the automotive spectrum. The first implementation came to the sub-$20k Chevrolet Sonic and Spark ultra-compacts. Mercedes will offer Siri on its entry-level A-Class in Europe. The Acura RLX is the brand's new flagship, but Siri will also be available on the more pedestrian ILX (a sedan based on the Honda Civic).
"For Apple this is certainly good news as well since it represents an additional automaker that will allow Apple to have consumers interact with its ecosystem even when driving," says Thilo Koslowski, an auto analyst for Gartner. But it poses a potential long-term problem for automakers who've invested heavily in creating their own infotainment ecosystems.
"By bringing in technology leaders' offerings into the automobile they are also bringing in their subsequent ecosystems — and that could bite automakers' own efforts to create a leading connectivity platform with applications and services," says Koslowski. "Once Siri evolves into accessing and controlling applications on the phone, consumers might not show much interest in an automaker's navigation offering… that's just fine from a consumer perspective, but in the end it might turn some automakers into simple hardware manufacturers."
For now, it's a way for automakers to get the latest cloud-connected voice-control system in their vehicles with minimal outlay, but the long-term implications could be far more dire for automakers relying on an outside company — particularly one as massive as Apple – to provide what's becoming a checkmark on new car buyer's shopping lists.Go Back to Top.

Tampa and surrounding Hillsborough County, Fla., are the "migratory Mecca" forstarlings, grackles, and blackbirds. Each year, for some unknownreason, the birds are particularly fond of a half-mile stretch of dedicatedtransit lanes that run through the city's shopping district.
The beauty of the tree-lined, brick-paved street was perennially obscured duringthe birds' return. "It was a huge mess, and the filth was a healthhazard," says Terry Yeager, director of maintenance for the HillsboroughArea Regional Transit Authority.
Several years ago Yeager installed 10 electric BirdXPeller Pro units, sonicdevices that use distress calls to repel birds in trees near bus shelters. Distresscalls are effective with species that feed and migrate in flocks becauseit's the same sound the birds use to communicate alarms to each other.
"Instantly, there were no more birds," he says. "The paversare no longer chalk-white with bird waste."
Like Yeager, public works managers across North America are using everythingfrom nets to dogs to keep birds from staking out territory in the public domain.
Populations of the once nearly extinct Canada goose have exploded. These giantgeese may be merely a nuisance for their droppings, aggressive behavior, andnoise, or they may represent a serious environmental threat and risk tohuman health and safety.
Heavy concentrations of goose droppings contain nitrogen that leads to excessivealgal growth and reduced water quality. If high goose numbers persistin shallow waters, their droppings may elevate bacteria levels, posing a healthrisk to humans.
Successful and cost-effective goose management combines short- and long-termapproaches to relieve immediate problems and maintain populations at or belowtarget levels. Changing tactics prevents geese from becoming conditionedto any one method.
Scare devices repel geese, but only when applied consistently as soon as thebirds arrive. Once geese become accustomed to an area, they're more difficultto haze.
Philip Whitford, a biology professor at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, andco-developer of Bird-X's GooseBuster sonic device, has studied the behaviorand vocal communications of the Canada goose for decades. Recently, hewas asked to see how effective the unit is in solving a goose problem ata water treatment facility in Hustisford, Wis. The 8-acre facility is hometo more than 160 geese.
The device, based on digitized forms of the birds' natural calls recorded byWhitford, fires screamers or whistle bombs from a 15-mm launcher. The propellantflies erratically and emits a shrill whistle or scream.
"When the birds showed up, we set the unit for a one-minute alarm call, causingthem to become nervous," Whitford says. "Then we followedup with one or two screamer shells. Following the alarm call with thescreamer shell is, by far, the most effective combination of techniques thatI've ever seen."
According to Whitford, the facility experienced a nearly 100-percent reduction in "goosehours" per week: from more than 14,400 to less than 58. Goosehours are calculated as labor hours; for example, if an area has 10 geesestaying 10 hours/day, total goose hours are 100.
Managers can choose from a wide range of other tactics:
Feeding: Discouraging public feeding just requires signage. But while it eliminatesconcentrations looking for handouts, it has little effect on overall populationsize.
Early water freeze-up: Turning off fountains or aerators eliminates winter habitat.
Dogs: Golf courses and airports have reported success using dogs trained to chasegeese off the property, but the method is expensive because dogs require handlers.
Spray repellents: Repellents can be applied on lawns to deter geese from feeding on the grass. Repellentsmade from grape extract may repel birds from turf area, but becauseof rain and mowing, they're only effective for a short time.
Barriers: Build fencing from plastic snow fence, chain link, woven wire, string, mylartape, or chicken wire. Boulders 2 feet wide or larger placed along a shorelineblock access to grazing sites. A combination of a rock barrier and densevegetation placed above the boulders enhances overall effectiveness.
"When geese leave and enter a water body, they generally use routes thatallow them easy access, as well as a clear view of potential danger," saysKeith Gray, director and president of Integrated Lake Management. "Turfgrass that leads directly to the water's edge provides an easyin and out."
Likewise, unmown shoreline buffers of tall grasses discourage geese from visiting. Allowingvegetation to grow costs virtually nothing.
Translocation: Trap and move birds out of the area. But because of strong homing instinctsand a tendency to return to their former nesting area, this method can becostly and ineffective.
Egg depredation: Addling or oiling the eggs, as permitted and directed by state law, preventsgeese from having a successful nesting season. These techniques destroy theembryo, resulting in long-term population control, but require a large laborinvestment to search ground around the pond or lake for nests.
Hunting: Canadian geese are federally protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, butcan be legally hunted with the proper licenses.
Pigeons eat anything and everything, including garbage. They carry fleas, lice, mites, andticks and play a role in transmitting more than 40 diseases. Theycreate the potential for slip-and-fall lawsuits, occupational diseases (seesidebar), and poor indoor air quality.
Inspect, control, and reinspect, advises Greg Baumann, vice president of technicalservices and senior scientist for the National Pest Management Associationin Fairfax, Va.
"The best strategy is to prevent pigeon problems in the first place," hesays. "But if workers see pigeons at equipment facilities orother buildings -- inside or out -- they should contact supervisorsimmediately."
Launch control measures at the first hint of a problem.
"All bird-control products can be effective in the right setting withproper installation," Baumann says. "But pigeons get used to anypattern, and unless you put a lot of effort into mixing up methods, they'llrealize there's no danger."
By analyzing their flight pattern, noting how they enter, and observing wherethey roost, you can determine the optimum spots to position control mechanisms.
Habitat manipulation: Barring openings to lofts, towers, vents, steeples, under eaves, and behindsigns is very effective. "For building interiors, physical exclusionis the best bet," Baumann says. "Netting is widely used and veryeffective."
Visuals: Replicas of hawks and owls, whirling devices, colored flags, balloons, revolvinglights, and scarecrows are low-cost and harmless ways to frighten birds.
Anti-roosting devices or repellents: Porcupine wire, consisting of strips of flexible, rustproof base bars withspikes or needles, can be installed along building ledges and window sills.
Electrical repellents involve two permanently installed grounded wires thatadminister a nonlethal shock. The systems require maintenance, though, becausesticks and straw dropped by birds cause shorts.
Chemical repellents are referred to as "glue" or "jellies." Thesesticky, non- or slow-drying compounds are applied to window sills, ridgelines of roofs, gutter edges, ornamental coping, and ledges. There'sa potential downfall: Because the material is sensitive to heat, cold, andairborne dust, it has a limited life span.
Sonic devices: Check local ordinances before deploying sound devices, including electric alarms, recordeddistress calls, automatic exploders or gas cannons, and pyrotechnics.
"Electronic alarms aren't suitable for city use, but can be effectivefor large warehouses in isolated areas," says Heath Waldorf, vice presidentof Bell Bird Control. "The alarm produces loud screeching, intermittent, amplifiedsounds."
Population control: The best time to reduce bird production is before the young start to hatchin the spring. Some methods can stop birds from building nests or force themto abandon their eggs.
English sparrows and feral pigeons can be reduced by destroying eggs at two-weekintervals in the spring and summer, but this is labor intensive.
Eliminate standing water: Finally, although eliminating water sources isn't always simple, or even possible, takecare of standing water such as puddles on roof tops.

Careful cleaning
Four ways to keep crews safe:
- Saturate droppings with water before removing to prevent debris and pathogens from becoming airborne.
- Schedule removal for weekends or other periods of minimum building or area use.
- Protect indoor air quality by closing all heating and cooling system air intakes.
- Double-bag droppings and associated soil in thick plastic bags, secure, and transport to the landfill to be buried.

The diet mistake even nutritionists make
A new study—published in the August 2012 issue of the Journal of Consumer Research—helps explain why the size of our plates affects how much we're eating. Turns out, our behavior is directly influenced by what our eyes perceive, even when we know better. So, for example, you'll serve yourself—and eat—less on a 6-inch plate than a 9-inch plate because it looks more satisfying.
The study, by Brian Wansink, Cornell researcher and EatingWell advisor and Koert van Ittersum, suggest the color of your plates, table and tablecloth matters too: using light plates on dark tablecloths helps you eat less; doing the opposite (having dark plates on dark tablecloths) makes us take—and eat—more.
Must-Read: How Can I Lose Weight? 4 Secrets of Skinny People
Perhaps the most surprising of all is that even nutrition experts—people trained in food and calories—are duped. One of Wansink's previous studies involved his nutrition students and colleagues at an ice cream social. They were each randomly given a smaller or larger bowl and either a smaller or larger serving spoon to scoop out the ice cream into their dish. He and his colleagues found that nutritionists using the larger bowls served and ate 31% more ice cream than those with the smaller bowl. Nutritionists who used the larger serving spoon served and ate 15% more ice cream. (Those who received a large bowl and a large serving spoon ate the most—57% more than those with the smaller spoon and bowl combo.)
Related: 5 Diet Myths That Make You Gain Weight
Before you reach for the measuring cups or spoons and food scale, try these easy-to-use tips:
1. Change your place settings. Highly contrasting your plate color with the table by getting bold place mats (think white plates on black mats) will help you take less by tricking the eye. The opposite is true for plate and food colors; you want to match those as closely as possible (think red pasta on a red plate).
2. Take the "memorize-the-common-household items" approach. Remember that a healthy 3-ounce serving of meat (or other protein) looks like a deck of cards, a medium potato should be the size of a computer mouse and a quarter cup of anything is about as big as a golf ball.
3. Try the "Rule of Thumb" method, which uses your hand as a reference. If you're a relatively small-framed woman, 1 teaspoon equals the tip of your thumb (to the middle joint); 1 tablespoon is the size of your thumb and 1 cup is about the size of your fist. Obviously this isn't a precise way of portioning—and the margin of error is greater the bigger your hand is—but it'll work in a pinch. It might be a good technique to try when you're eating out or at a friend's. (Find out: What Does a Serving of Fruit Look Like?)
4. At home, find out how much your frequently-used bowls and utensils hold. One time only, measure out the amount of soup that your ladle holds. If it's 3/4 cup you'll know forever that two scoops equal a satisfying 1 1/2-cup serving. On the flipside, you can measure out a given portion of a particular favorite food and serve it in the dish you'll almost always use when you eat that food. Once you know that one serving of cereal reaches only halfway up your bowl, you'll know to stop there. (This is a good trick to try with beverages too: perhaps with your favorite juice or wine glass.)
5. Choose portion-controlled foods. Look for single-serving packages of your favorite packaged foods so you know exactly how much you're getting. You can do-it-yourself at home by making entrees pre-portioned with ramekins and muffin tins (like in these Healthy Portion-Controlled Recipes) or portioning out and pre-packing snacks to take with you.

|. This is one the plumber that installed it couldn't figure out.
. This system was installed to increase the ph of the water. Water was leaving blue stains in bath as it dissolves the copper pipes. Plumber installed the system to solve it, but it often leaves blue stains again. I'll go through the pictures in the attachment first.
. Top picture shows the front of the Master Autotrol Performa Valve with 400 series control. Model 268/440i (also listed as just Model 440i). The system w/ tank is listed as NS-30T.
. Middle picture shows the side view of the same with the cover off.
. Bottom picture shows the two tanks connected to the timer control. In the background is the salt tank. To the right is the well tank, and an Aqua Pure AP801 sediment filter.
. The problem is that it isn't working. She's still getting blue in her tub, and the NS-Mix of Calcite and Mag Oxide needs to be, according to the plumber, fluffed back up with a rod. After it is fluffed up, it starts leaving blue stains in about 2 months, so the ph is probably off even before that.
. The problem according to the plumber and the regional rep (a salesman, I'm guessing, and not a technician) is that the MS-Mix is getting channels in it during the regenerating process (I assume they think it is not during water use because of their proposed solution). The water then passes through these channels and not the MS-Mix and therefore isn't getting properly treated. The manual states "Recharging Neutralizers should be done between 6 months and 1 year." So stirring it up every couple months is a lot considering only one person lives in the house.
. They believe that the channels are caused by low water pressure during the recharging process because the run of pex pipe he ran to the washing machine in 78 feet long. The Installation and Operation Instructions for Combination Units states "Recommended pipe length less than 20 feet and a pipe diameter greater than 1/2 inch." The valve manual says "use 3/4-inch tubing for runs up to 40 feet." He originally put in 1/2 inch and replaced it with 3/4 inch I believe. They believe the back pressure from the long run is causing the media not to fluff up and create channels. The water seems to come out at a pretty good clip, though I don't have a "normal" to compare it to. The 78 foot run does have one rise along it to cross over a beam, though I would be surprised if it is getting air locked, though I do wonder.
. The system is set to regenerate once every six days at 2:00 am. 3 times, twice in the middle of the night and once in the afternoon (after a powerfailure) she was awakened by a huge bang, presumably from the water conditioner right under her bedroom. The first bang was probably when it first stopped conditioning. Until that first bang, six to nine months had passed with no blue in her tub. Now the tub starts turning blue after about 2 months and then needs stiring. The manual says recharging the NS-Mix should take 6 months to a year, when you should stir it up too.
. Other things of interest. The sediment filter, which was there even before this ph treatment system, is now installed after the treatment tanks. Could this create backpressure during water use? Works fine for awhile when stirred. Set to regenerate every six days. One occupant.
. Plumbers proposed solution: dig a dry well outside for this system to drain into as it recharges. (I don't know how they plan to keep the line out to it from freezing!) This will eliminate the "backpressure", increase the flow during regeneration, and eliminate the channels. The homeowner isn't so sure and doesn't want to dig up the trees and bushes outside her window for a dry well, to try out a shorter drain pipe run, that may not solve anything, and why did it work for so long the first time (on a smaller drain line) and now will only work for a couple of months even when the MS-Mix is emptied out and completely (remixed or) replaced? especially now that it has a bigger drain line.
. If I were to buy into the back pressure theory, I would just put a tank and pump for it to drain into, but I can't say I care to try that idea.

|. Aha! Drat it! The manual hopes that the system is above and not more than 20' from the drain. Now he had the pex pipe run up to the ceiling! Which is OK, but it can't go up more than 6 feet, which it doesn't, but then the run is only 15 feet and not less than 40psi water pressure. It just makes 40psi as it is on a well, but then runs over 70 more feet. (It can push for 2 more feet each additional 10psi.)
. So I'm wondering about putting in a tank and pump right next to this? So it pumps down 4 feet, then something else pumps it away. What do you think?
. So it is starting to look like the plumber's diagnosis is plausible, but the manual doesn't tell us WHY it wants it that way. Is the reason for these specs the problem he sites or some other problem.
Then, it also tells us an elevated drain line needs a 7" loop in it if the drain level ends up LOWER than where the drain tubing connects to the water softener. That is, is the drain pipe from your washer higher or lower than the connection of the drain tubing to the control valve? This prevents siphoning which is interesting that you have to avoid both backpressure from too long or high a drain and that siphoning is also undesirable? Could siphoning be the problem here???
Still considering setting a tank and pump on the floor of the basement OR running an 1-1/2 inch pipe over for the 3/4 inch pipe to spill into.

[quote user="nycsportzfan"]ya, but he also goes on to say, that Ayers has a Skillset and versatility to play in any scheme..
Lets face it.. The combine dosen't matter, all that much anyways.. None of the guys do what they did at the combine, at there prodays... Just yesterday alone, Brandon Harris had a Worse Vertical, and Jeff Maehl, Derek Sherrod and Kj Wright all ran worse 40's then they did at the combine, and guys like Justin Harper, Mark Ingram ran better 40times, and Damion Berry lost 5or6 lbs since then... The combine, is just one day to these guys, not a definite, what they do on any and all days... Like i said then, u time these guys tommorow, and they'll probably be diffrent times and leaps and all that stuff... It'd be silly to think hes a 3/4 guy based on just the combine... If he plays faster on the feild, and is scheme versatile, and can play in coverege, along with rush the passer and make plays against the run, then he can play in any system....
at least there is one person out there still alive who supports akeem ayers around here. Akeem Ayers game speed is arguably one of the best out of all the linebackers. So what if he ran slow? He's FLUID whereas Martez Wilson runs fast but is STIFF. A man like martez wilson can run fast in a straight line down a seam with a receiver on a go route, sure. but is he going to cover slants or intermediate routes with as stiff as he is? No. 40 times might be the most overrated drill in the book.
[/quote]the 3 cone drill shows speed and agility and Ayers did poorly in that as well. Wilson was almost a half a sec better U have no idea what your talking about.[/quote]
I have no idea what I'm talking about? Dude, did you read my post at all? I never said akeem ayers was fast in the drills, he was timed slow and was nearly bottom in all of them. But he showed FLUIDITY in some of the drills which I will take 10 times out of 10 over blazing fast speed. Think and re-read posts before you click enter man
