Team medal more possible.
olympic - Yeah, she does get more PCS than she should given her weaknesses but at this point, she is consistently landing her jumps whilst none of the other Ladies are. So she might not need a lot of politicking.
This is all I care about, honestly, so if Julia is able to help Team Russia (& more importantly Evgeni Plushenko; knock on wood) win a Team Medal in the first ever Olympic Team Event, and most importantly first Winter Olympics ever to be held in Russia, I"m happy! She can become the first Russian lady ever to win an Olympic Gold Medal as well as the second youngest in history (behind Tara Lipinski, who's birthday is June 10th versus Julia's June 5th).
I find it kinda funny in how much they have in common (similar last names & birthdates & body types). And Julia is born under a lucky star to be able to compete at the Olympics at age 15, just making the cutoff date, unlike Mao Asada. It really has to do with a great deal of talent but also an equal portion of luck. It's all in the stars, astrology.
Julia's Personal Best is now higher than Kostner's personal best...She may very well be closer to the podium than we think she is... Kostner and Asada both are better skaters, but they will need to land their stuff, and there is no guarantee they will.
I don't think she will win, but she could come 2nd or 3rd if Mao and Carolina don't skate that well. I have a feeling she'll end up more in the range of 4th-6th though. She may get a bit more nervous at an Olympics.
That's absolutely true too. Its the Olympics and she has no big international competition experience.
I'm sure that she cannot beat Yu Na. Mao, given she's not doing clean programs with all the jumps it's possible. If Kim has a meltdown, this girl could be the champion.
She's been competing at Russian senior Nationals since she was 12 and she's been competing internationally as a Junior since she was 13.
She has a chance to medal but she'd need mistakes for others. With her 2 perfect programs, Julia was still 5 points under Mao's score from SA, and that was put up with Mao skating conservatively and making a number of mistakes. Kostner and Kim have even higher PCS than Asada and can get more GOE on their jumps, so most likely, if Lipnitskaya were to skate like she did at SC, I'd say she'd wind up 4th at the Olympics. But if she skates a blinder and one of the big 3 falters, then she could definitely medal. To win gold, all 3 would have to falter, and when I say falter I mean would have to make multiple sizeable errors if Mao's SA score is anything to judge upon. So that's really unlikely, though not entirely out of the realms of possibility, especially with the event being in Russia.
More like a Sarah Hughes than a Tara Lipinski. Lipinski was co-favorite for 1998 OGM. Hughes had technically ambitious programs but was really only considered in the mix for silver/bronze and, at best, a pretty dark horse for gold, which is why her victory was so distressing surprising.
I think Lipnitskaia is kind of like Hughes -- technical goods to win gold if the three anointed ones fail. Also like Hughes, she would be looking to accomplish it on home soil.
Just assuming for a moment that Julia wins gold in Sochi. Has any skater gone on to have a great skating career after winning the big prize at 15? Or 16 for that matter?
Well...Julia seems to be keeping up pony-wise with the top ladies at the Grand Prix events so far but with all the top ladies in the same competition (Kim, Asada, etc.) the results may be very different...unless enough skaters fall on their jumps, she could squeak by with her jumps like Hughes.
Henie is the only one I can think of in singles.
Maybe if you wish for this enough it will come true?!
That would be one unfortunate consequence of her winning. I want to see her skating develop and to enjoy her career longer than for just a few more months. Selfish fan reason, of course.
Of course she can but I still wouldn't bet on it at this point. What she is doing, though, is setting herself up perfectly for the next quad. Surely all of Kim, Kostner and Mao will be done by the time 2018 comes around. Someone will have to take the reigns and she seems the most obvious choice.
Remember the days people were hyping up Zhang, Nagasu, Tuktamysheva, Sotnikova, etc. as the next big thing? Lipnitskaia had a big junior year, slowed down a bit, and began the Olympic season in a stellar fashion. The case might be that she's peaking now, and it may turn out to be now or never for her, who knows.
To answer the thread poll, although I see several skaters ahead of her worthy of Oly podium, of course it's possible the stars might align for her in that night.
I just think comparing her to Mao and Caro at this point is a little silly. They skate with command and presence. Also, I think Lipnitskaya's competition once February rolls around will be Gold, Wagner, #2 Russian lady, Suzuki and perhaps Li and Osmond. Not Mao, Caro or Yu Na. Once everyone is together in one competition, it will be interesting to see how they score against one another directly, not just cross-referencing scores from different competitions. I think from what I've seen at 2 GP competitions, Wagner, Suzuki and Gold especially stand a good chance of moving ahead of her. Lipnitskaya is clean and those three ladies are close behind her with a few fixable mistakes
Exactly. The time will come and it will be obvious how totally inadequate it is to think that Lipnitskaia can compete with the likes of Kim or Kostner on the merit of her skating. The scale of jumps, speed, coverage, presense, skating skills will make it clear, side-by-side.
It doesn't mean she can't win a medal or even the whole thing, since ice is slippery and anything's possible. She is a very consistent jumper and a good competitor, with the nerve and calmness seemingly beyond her years.
Julia's exhibition to Kill Bill http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQpExUKf-rI
This reminds me a little of her Kung Fu Panda SP. I hope she goes in a voidy direction like this in the future (I wouldn't expect it during the Olympic season).
I am really curious to see how Julia handles the pressure in her next competition. She had a lot of success at SC. Will she continue to perform well or will she choke under pressure? I hope she can handle the pressure. Being only 15 may help when it comes to pressure.
I also hope that she can stay injury free. Last season she had to withdraw from competitions due to an injury. I hope she can stay healthy and skates great in Sochi.
I think and hope she won't choke. IIRC, in the 2011-12 season she didn't fall once and I think popped only one jump. In the entire season. Last season she said she struggled a lot... got on the ice couldn't feel her legs and didn't think it was possible to jump. Still, she came away with senior GP silver and bronze, and another junior world medal. If she's in good shape this year, I hope she will continue to skate clean.
I love that outfit on her. It really accentuates the positions she gets into. I wish she would smile at the end. Too serious for a 15 year old!
I picked yes, as in she CAN medal, if she rocks it like she did at Skate Canada and one of the top three falters. Given the inconsistent histories of Kostner and Mao ... this is well within the realm of possibility.
BUT, I wouldn't say she'd pull a "Tara Lipinski", as I highly doubt she can displace [a healthy] Kim for gold - in fact I see at least one of Kostner/Mao doing well enough for silver (my money's on Mao). I'm not even a fan of Yuna, but I just don't see her losing the gold (esp. to Lipnitskaya) if she shows up healthy - she's already got nerves of steel, and add in the fact she already has an OGM so anything she gets in Sochi would be a "bonus" - there'd be less mental pressure on her (plus she'd likely be well rested not having to compete in the team competition) ... anyway, I just don't believe Yulia can dethrone Kim as some have suggested, but sneaking in for a medal is certainly feasible.
That said, at this point, if any Russian lady can sneak in for a medal, I'm thinking it's her. Really think she should be the front-runner for those Olympic spots!
I think that was related to her sudden growth spurt, iirc.
No, the injury wasn't related to growth spur. She fell on her head doing some spin in practice and had concussion.
Julia is a very consistent competitor with no real weaknesses. She has the difficulty in her jumps, she has spins, she moves well enough across the ice, plus she has that wow! factor. Right now she is my darkhorse pick for Sochi. She's a competitor through and through and that will bode well for her in Sochi. She struggled a bit last season but that was due to a growth spurt, injuries and the fact it was her first year senior. Prior to last year she was scarily consistent. It looks like she's getting back to that form...
She's 15 but she has nice presentation for someone her age and she's grown in terms of her musical connection/performance this year though she does still need work. She lacks the presence and maturity of many of the more seasoned veterans (Yu-Na, Carolina, Mao, Ashley, Akiko) as well as the flow and ease some of them have but she's got the consistency and she's building momentum. It's very unlikely that she'll win gold in Sochi and if she does that means it was a really crappy competition. Julia can medal but she will need each of the Big Three to make several mistakes for that to happen. I do think she has a great shot at 4th or 5th place and if she stays healthy she's a dead lock for one of those two spots on the Russian team.
She had a fall during practice. She hit her chin on the ice and was injured. For some reason it took a long time for that injury to heal, or may be she skipped the remaining competitions as a precaution. Nice to see her back strong.
OOPS. I didn't see this before I posted in response to that.
My main concern for Julia as having long term career success (past Sochi) is her name. Call me silly or superstitious, but no Julia has had a great career, after early success and great natural talent(e.g. Soldatova, Sebasteyen, and pairs skater Obertas who appeared on track for an OGM early in her career).
I hope Lip will be break that trend, and have a long and successful career. i already sound like a fan, don't I?

Top Storylines
1. Arizona Home Run King
Kevin Cron
Mountain Pointe's Kevin Cron received a lot of attention last year and deservedly so. As a junior, Cron matched the Arizona state record for Home Runs in a season (22) while leading the Pride to the 5A Division I State Championship game.
Not content with a share of the single season record Cron got back to work launching baseballs into orbit when the 2011 season began. Cron currently leads the state with 13 Home Runs (through 16 games), four ahead of 2
place (teammate Joey Curletta) and broke the career home run record with a pair of homers on March 25.
Cron is the career record holder with 46 career bombs and is ahead of pace to break his own single season record. More importantly, he looks to get Mountain Pointe over the hump by leading them to their first state title in school history.
2. Bregman's Power Surge
Coming off his sophomore campaign where he hit .500 in 84 ABs in 2010, Albuquerque Academy SS
Alex Bregman
continued his hot hitting over the summer and fall. He capped off a successful season of travel ball by earning MVP honors at the Pan-Am games in Mexico by leading Team USA to gold by hitting .564.
Over the offseason, Bregman got to work, getting bigger, stronger and faster. That offseason work has led to a power surge this season. Bregman currently has
Homeruns through his first 12 games of the season. Albuquerque Academy High School Head Coach Josue Ayala said of Bregman "his work ethic is remarkable, his desire is contagious and he makes the rest of our guys better." Ayala noted that Bregman's increased strength has been a key to the development of his power, as his doubles are now leaving the yard.
After hitting over.500 each of the past two high school seasons, Bregman is currently 25-for-41 (.609) in addition to his six Homers. He is a big reason why the Chargers are off to a 10-2 start.
3. The Great Southwest Shortstop Debate
While the aforementioned Bregman looks to be one of the best prospects in the region's class of 2012, the Southwest has more than just one top prospect at Shortstop. Sierra Vista's
Jake Hager
is the top ranked player in the state of Nevada.
The Arizona State commit announced his presence as a big time prospect at the 2010 Area Code games, and then cemented it at the 2010 WWBA World Championship last October. Hager showed good all around skills, he has a very high level bat and looks like he has a shot to stay at SS at the highest levels. His well rounded skill set should make him very attractive to MLB organizations when the June draft rolls around.
It will be fun to watch the development of each of these two highly talented ballplayers; they both have a chance to become very successful players at the highest levels.
4. Dynasties in the Desert
In each state in the region at least one team is defending back-to-back state championships. Spanish Fork has won back-to-back title in Utah, and look poised to stretch that streak to three this season (and possibly continue beyond). La Cueva has won three of the past five New Mexico titles, including 2010. Virgin Valley dominated has dominated 3A ball in Nevada.
But the biggest dynasty in the region has to be Bishop Gorman. The Gaels have now won 5consecutive championships, the second longest active streak in the nation. Gorman's first year head coach Nick Day is very familiar with the pressures that come with such a streak, as a player on the 1993-1996 championship squads at Green Valley and an Assistant with Gorman the past few years he racked up a lot of experience of dealing with the pressure.
5. The Battle of Las Vegas
Bishop Gorman should face its most difficult challenge in trying to extend their state title streak this year, as they will have a lot of company at the top from several fellow Las Vegas teams. Rancho, Sierra Vista and Green Valley all look like serious threats to the streak.
Each of these teams is off to a strong start, Sierra Vista is 12-0, 11-2 Green Valley dropped a close one to Sierra Vista and 11-2 Rancho's only losses are to those two teams. While Gorman looks like one of the best teams in the nation yet again, one of these other three could very well make a case to be in that group as well.
Top Teams (alphabetical order)
Albuquerque Academy
Albuquerque Academy is off to a 10-2 start to the year, building off their 18-8 campaign a year ago. They feature one of the best players in the state in SS Alex Bregman; they also boast ace RHP Brent Jones and sophomore C
Tyler Buffett
Bishop Gorman
The Gaels have an enormous target on their back as winners of five straight state championships. Nick Day will try to continue the streak as he takes over for previous coach Chris Sheff. Gorman looks to be arguably the top team in the state again this year, but the competition will be fierce.
Hamilton looks poised to make a deep run in the postseason this year after reaching the regional finals in 2010. Led by one of the top 2012 prospects in the state,
Mitch Nay
, the Huskies are 12-4 in spite of a very tough early season schedule. Ace
Zak Johnson
is one of the top pitchers in the state and they feature depth throughout their lineup. The Huskies look like arguably the best team in Arizona.
Don't read too much into Horizon's 7-5 record, they dropped a pair this week to nationally ranked teams in the best HS tournament in the nation; the Big League Dugout National Invitational. They've also lost to AZ contenders Brophy (11-5), Mesquite (15-1) and Saguaro (20-3); the defending champs' brutal schedule will prove to be valuable come playoff time.
La Cueva
Most of the preseason predictions coming out of New Mexico pointed towards La Cueva capturing their 4
title in 6 years. The Bears opened up with a 16-0 season, seeming to prove those lofty expectations were accurate. A bad stretch where they lost three out of five found the Bears sitting at 3-3 and many began to wonder if the Bears were merely paper champions.
La Cueva has responded with five straight wins since then, an impressive run with a quality win over Volcano Vista and several huge blowouts. The Bears look to be on tract to contend for another state title.
Nobody went undefeated in the Scottsdale QB Club Invitational preseason tournament. Mesquite won the tourney after losing one game in pool play, and they haven't lost since. At 15-1-1 the Wildcats are now the highest ranked team in Arizona (#25 in nation) thanks to an impressive 7-1 win over fellow power Hamilton in last week's
National Game of the Week
Mountain Pointe
Arguably the best lineup in Arizona from top to bottom, the Pride are anchored by record setting slugger Kevin Cron whose prodigious power and advanced feel for hitting make him a serious threat every time he steps to the plate. One talent evaluator said that Cron is the most mature hitter to come through Arizona since current Mets 1B Ike Davis. The offense should be one of the best in the state; if the pitching can keep pace they have a chance to win the state title.
The defending 4A Division I champions are off to a 20-3 start this season and are currently riding a 16 game winning streak, dating back to March 5. OF Kyle Young is leading the team with 4 Home Runs, while hitting .449. RHP
Travis Steinheiser
has pitched very well for the Sabercats and currently boasts a 4-1 record with a 3.64ERA and 34 strikeouts to just 10 walks over 32 2/3 innings.
Sierra Vista
Jake Hager & Co. are looking really strong at 13-0, outscoring opponents 120-32 thus far. Hager is hitting .609 with 4 Home Runs, but the team's current Home Run king is Scotty Tomassetti, who has 6. Somehow ace
Blair Goldsack
has the teams highest ERA, at 1.85, while striking out 33 compared to just 5 walks. It's safe to say that the Lions have proven they belong in the elite group of teams not only in Nevada, but the Southwest Region.
The question is; where in that elite group do they belong?
Spanish Fork
The Dons have won back to back state championships and even after the graduation of
Adam Duke
they remain one of the most talented teams in the nation. RHP/1B
Kayden Porter
(2-0, 2.28) looks like he has a chance to become one of the top players in the country, but he has plenty of help. Staff ace Brady Corless is 3-0 with a 1.62ERA. C
Jarret Jarvis
has been hitting really well this season, sporting a .690 average with 10 extra base hits in their first 9 games.
Notable Matchups
La Cueva @ Cleveland –April 5
In a clash of New Mexico state championship hopefuls, powerhouse La Cueva takes on All-American
Blake Swihart
and the 10-3 Cleveland Storm.
Sierra Vista (NV) vs. Bishop Gorman (NV) -- April 9 & 30
It won't be a matchup of undefeated teams, as Gorman lost a tough one to Downers Grove South in the loaded Big League Dugout National Invitational (before rebounding to win the pool). Sierra Vista is currently 12-0, and while these are not the only two contenders in Nevada, they look to be the favorites. You will be able to follow the April 9

has shown he can slow down just about any lineup in the state, Mountain Pointe has shown they can score runs against just about anybody. If the pitching lines up for Johnson to face the Pride it will be one of the more intriguing matchups of the season.
The last time these teams met was in the 2010 State Tournament, they could very well meet again in the 2011 tourney.
Pinnacle vs. Horizon –April 20 & 21
These two teams have very different records in spite of being similar in terms of talent (near top in the state). Pinnacle is 15-1 thanks to a mediocre schedule and pulling out some close games. Horizon is 7-5 thanks to playing an absolutely brutal schedule. This should be a good game between two very good teams.
Sierra Vista (NV) @Green Valley (NV) – May 4
Middle infield prospects will be the highlight of this matchup between Nevada contenders as Green Valley's
Brett Harrison
and Sierra Vista's
Jake Hager
will be a big attraction for MLB decision makers just a month before the draft.

Michael Bush will be one of the presenters at HAS 2008. The HAS president Gabe Blatt am myself will be getting together within the next week or so to finalize the speakers list as well as the program. As I have always said HAS is a great meeting due to the input of great Beekeepers. So I am asking for topic suggestions as well as suggestions for workshops. "When you talk you can only say something that you already know. When you listen, you may learn what someone else knows."
If any of you would like to present something of interest don't hesitate to let me know as well.
Please email Robin Mountain at firstname.lastname@example.com or Gabe Blatt at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you and we look forward to your input.

A Tysean is a really lovable and funny person but has a lot of issues! But he wont talk about them unless they are really bothering him. he is a great listener and a great friend! he isn't the most responsible and will stand up for what he believes in.
"Is that Tysean cutting class again?"- "Yes."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Updates - 10/7/2012
It has been a very busy few months and I've really slacked on our home tanks so I spent yesterday sprucing everything up and took some pics in the process.
So lots has changed on the 36g bowfront except for the fauna. Fauna still consists of a school of about 20 neon tetras, there are 3 rams (1 w/c female, 1 german blue male, and a gold balloon female). The current flora species are Nesaea var. Red Leaf, d. diandra, c. wendtii var red, c. lutea, riccia flutens, limnophila aromatica, myrio filligree, myrio green, myrio red, rotala wallichii, rotala macranda, ludwigia peruensis, c. pontederiifolia, anubias lancelota, and c. lucens.
I upgraded the lights to the 36" Corallife T5 ballast and left the HD ballast on to put wattage around 100w. I checked PAR using a par meter from work and got numbers ranging from 35 up to 70 (only where plants are).
Next up is the 40 breeder that has been a work in progress. The lights are hung, tank is cycled and ready for stocking. So far there are dozens of species of plants in there. All of the ones listed above but also another 6 or so species of crypts, r. rotundifolia, l. repens, bacopa caroliniana, cambomba pulcherrima, and some argentine swords. I removed all of the guppies to the production plot and I plan on putting in the 4 SS CBS into it and introducing some more for genetic diversity soon.
Finally, the 29g SW has been doing great. As of right now it's inhabitants include two McCosker's Flasher wrasses (either 1 male and 1 female or 1 submale), an orange back fairy wrasse, a baby hippo tang, yellow watchman goby paired with a Randall's pistol shrimp. As far as coral species go, I haven't done much, the green birds nest and hyacinth birds nest are doing really well. The acans have grown to a nice size and so has the star polyps and flavia. Everyone is nice and happy.
Just so everyone knows, I am doing weekly water changes on the SW at 10g each so roughly 30-40 with reef salt.
Anyways, that is my update. I hope to be able to report back sooner than later.

text: I didn't want to tell anybody until it was final with the bank but I just received a call and was told that I am officially the owner of a 2012 Chevy Cruze! It will be nice to have something that gets good gas mileage for once, haha! I am going on vacation this week and taking my "baby" so the Cruze will have to just sit and wait until I get home! It's a LT RS with the ecotec engine. I wanted the manuel transmission but they had none with the interior I wanted so I opted for the automatic, I sit in traffic anyways so it doesn't matter. It was between this and the Camaro but the family thought that it had to many blind spots so we settled. I bought wanted the RS to get as much "sportiness" out of it as possible! Here's a pic of me and the Cruze last night when I drove it off the lot.

"Beer bets" with Johnny Detroit: 1-1
Cinci / Milwaukee — We were right with the Brewers last night and I expect more runs to be scored in today's game. The prototypical get out of town games are always fun to watch. Both starters have sub-4.0 ERA on the year, but I think this could get past that.
Royals / W Sox — Love this game. KC has been terrible the last couple weeks, but do hit lefties not so bad. Chicago has gotten some great work from Quintana this season, but he hasn't gotten the most consistent run support at home. Then again, he has made several starts on the road — 12 of his 20 starts have been away from home. Against the Royals this year he has lost twice already, giving up nine earned runs in just over 13 innings of work. In those two losses he got a combined three runs of support. James Shields is the horse for KC and he's beaten the Sox this year, but allowed 10 hits in six innings of work. I like him to mow down the White Sox again in this instance. I think he will be the Bulldog in this game and I'd take the Royals bullpen over Chicago's if we needed them. I like KANSAS CITY to get this job done on the road for us.
Nats / Rockies — Nats rebounded from a bad start in Tuesday's game. Now they have the horse on the hill against a beaten down Colorado team. Big league teams love hitting fastballs and both of our starters can provide that. hard to believe the Rocks have lost 60 games already.
Tigers / Dbacks — Like Sanchez here, but not betting on the Tigers in the day game getting out of town. Will only look at this one with fandom.
San Fran / Philly — Bum is a big dog here? ESPN game. Burnett probably getting moved at the deadline. Could be a game for the Phils to win at home.
Dodgers / Pitts — Not sure I like either pitching matchup. Could potentially be a total play, especially with 38 runs scored in last night's game.
Red Sox / Blue Jays — Ole' Bucholz taking on the knuckler. Over.
Rangers / Yankees — I know YU has struggled with his terrible team this season at times, but where the hell are we going to get him at 20 cents against a team where he can strike out a bunch of guys? Like Texas here.
Marlins / Braves — Miami has taken the first two games in this series. Can they really win a series in Atlanta? That's tough to tell right now, but Miami has gotten two of their 19 road wins already in this series.
Ryas / Cards — Rays got to Wainwright and beat the Cards last night. Those dudes are HOT right now and it's tough to wager against them, I think. Donnu if we will back Lance Lynn, however.
Fathers / Cubs — Won with the Cubbies last night. This one might see us fade them as Ian Kennedy is looking to take the Chase Headley way out of San Diego.
Houston / Oakland — Houston beat the As in extra innings last night. Could it happen again? Possibly. Hard to envision laying that kinda juice with As coming off a loss, but might be the exact right time.
Orioles / Angels — Will I have a third straight losing ticket with the Angels? Crystal ball says I'm not sure right now.
Will browse these again tomorrow. Would love any input.
Royals over White Sox is a 3* play with James Shields listed to dominate.
Well I see that line has moved a penny. Nothing like making moves! (lol)
Bol. With the Royals.
Avatar challenge with sleepyj 3-0
Thanks Steve good luck with your play today. Loving the Royals today.
Look at all those people backing the White Sox!

Hello to all our valued customers,
AppFirst is going through very exciting times right now. We've successfully rolled out our log file data offering (hundreds of logs have already been uploaded in just a short time) and we're constantly working to provide improved services to all of our customers.
As much as we'd like to share all of those successes today, instead we're unhappily writing about a production problem we encountered yesterday that you may have noticed on your dashboards.
What's Been Happening
Recently, there have been problems stemming from our Postgres database, which is where we currently store all of our process data. As a result of monitoring over 100 million processes, and given our current system architecture, we've come to a place where Postgres can't handle this amount of data. As a result, the problems of slow page load times and data loading errors emerged.
How We're Resolving These Issues For A Bright Future
Now that we have identified the problem, we're improving our architecture to keep all the process data in HBase rather than Postgres. We're confident this will resolve the current scaling issues and architectural problems we're encountering. We're taking a three-step course of action to achieve our goals:
Step 1: Earlier this morning, we stopped reporting process data to our free Developer users. We're not happy that we had to do this, but already, our product is operating 5X faster than it previously was.
>> If you're a Developer user and still need/want that process data, please contact us and we will re-enable it for you.
Step 2: Next week, we will begin moving our process data to HBase. During this time, process data will be stored in both HBase and Postgres. This will help keep load times down and everyone happy.
Step 3: After the New Year, we're going to be moving all of our process data to HBase. We chose HBase because it's a much more scalable solution. Postgres will continue to be used to store account info and things of that nature.
In the meantime, AppFirst continues to be grateful for your support and we offer our apologies for any inconveniences this may have caused. We're working extremely hard to ensure that we remain a reliable solution for you.
We're losing sleep so you don't have to.

Working with HIV/AIDS
With proper care and treatment, many people living with HIV/AIDS lead normal, healthy lives, including having a job. Most people with HIV/AIDS can continue working at their current jobs or look for a new job in their chosen field. Your overall well-being and financial health can be more stable when you are gainfully employed.
Getting a New Job or Returning to Work
Working will affect a lot of your life: your medical status, your finances, your social life, the way you spend your time, and perhaps even your housing or transportation needs. Before taking action on getting a new job or returning to work, you may want to get information and perspectives from:
- Your HIV/AIDS case manager or counselor, if you have one
- Benefits counselors at an AIDS service organization or other community organization
- The Social Security Administration's Work Incentives Planning and Assistance Program (WIPA)
- Other people living with HIV who are working, or have returned to work
- Providers of any of your housing, medical, or financial benefits
- Public and non-profit employment and training service providers
Here are some questions to discuss with them:
- What are my goals for employment?
- What kind of work do I want to do?
- What are the resources that can help me set and achieve a new career goal?
- Are there state or local laws that further strengthen anti-discrimination protections in the ADA?
- How do I access training or education that will help me achieve my goals?
- How can I plan to take care of my health if I go to work?
- How will my going to work impact the benefits I am receiving?
Requesting Reasonable Accommodations
Qualified individuals with disabilities, including people living with HIV/AIDS, have the right to request reasonable accommodations in the workplace. A reasonable accommodation is any modification or adjustment to a job or work environment that enables a qualified person with a disability to apply for or perform a job. An accommodation may be tangible (for example, a certain type of chair) or non-tangible (for example, a modified work schedule for someone with a medical condition requiring regular appointments with a health care provider). You are "qualified" if you are able to perform the essential functions of the job, with or without reasonable accommodation.
Your supervisor may not be trained in reasonable accommodations or know how to negotiate them. For that reason, often it's best to go directly to the person responsible for human resources at your employer, even if that person works in a different location. In a small business, that person may well be the owner.
When you request an accommodation, state clearly what you need (for example, time off for a clinic visit every third Tuesday of the month, a certain type of chair, or a change in your work hours) and be ready to supply a doctor's note supporting your request. The initial note need not contain your diagnosis, but it should verify that you are under that doctor's care and that he/she believes you need the accommodation to maintain your health or to be able to fulfill essential functions of your job.
Many people living with HIV/AIDS do not want to give a lot of details about their health. If you prefer not to provide a lot of information, you may want to limit the medical information you initially give to your employer. However, if your need for accommodation is not obvious, your employer may require that you provide medical documentation to establish that you have a disability as defined by the ADA, to show that the employee needs the requested accommodation, and to help determine effective accommodation options. This can, but often does not, include disclosing your specific medical condition.
Be aware that not all people with HIV/AIDS will need accommodations to perform their jobs and many others may only need a few or simple accommodations. The U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Job Accommodation Network (JAN) provides free, expert, and confidential technical assistance to both employees and employers on workplace accommodations and disability employment issues, which includes resources for employees living with HIV/AIDS (see AskJAN.org or call 800-526-7234 Voice or 877-781-9403 TTY for one-on-one guidance).

- Success Stories – individual, employer, and HIV/AIDS service provider examples
- The Business Case for employing qualified individuals with HIV/AIDS
- Getting to Work – an online training curriculum for HIV/AIDS service providers and housing providers
Frequently Asked Questions
As a person living with HIV, how do I find employment services? Are there job-training programs I might qualify for?
I'm receiving Supplemental Security Income/Social Security Disability Insurance (SSI/SSDI), but would like to go to work. Are there specific programs for SSI/SSDI beneficiaries who would like to go to work?
I'm receiving SSI/SSDI benefits. If I get a job/return to work, will I lose my benefits or not be able to get back on benefits if I need them?

NEW Wild Kratts' episodes!
WILD KRATTS will have new episodes this week, followed by four more premieres during "Weird Kratts Week," October 22-26, and a new spidery Halloween episode on October 31, at 4 p.m., Monday-Friday.
October 16, 2012 – #202 "Race for the Hippo Disc"
When Chris and Martin accidentally lose a Power Disc on the African savannah, the Wild Kratts go into crisis mode to find the disc before it gets into the hands of Zach Varmitech. Science Concept: Territoriality.
October 17, 2012 – #203 "Creature Power Challenge"
After getting caught in the middle of a tussle between a grumpy rhino and an outraged elephant, Martin and Chris decide to have a contest to decide what are stronger – elephant or rhino powers. Science Concept: Animals have adaptations for where and how they live.
October 18, 2012 – #204 "Termites vs. Tongues"
When Aviva and Koki accidentally miniaturize themselves and get carried away by termites, Martin and Chris must split up to search for them. Science Concept:Predator/prey relationship.
October 22, 2012- #129 "Seasquatch"
The Kratt brothers' sub loses power while they are exploring the strange landscape of the ocean depths and they are trapped on the ocean floor. Aviva must figure out how to harness the energy from the deep sea's hydrothermal vents in order to save the brothers and return them to the surface. The WILD KRATTS team learns all about the amazing process of chemosynthesis and how deep sea creatures transform toxic chemicals into energy. With a little help from the Yeti crab, Martin and Chris are able to capture the this energy and use it to restart the amphi-sub and return to the surface.Science Concepts: Chemosynthesis; how special deep sea creatures transform such toxic chemicals into energy.
October 23, 2012 – #133 "Gecko Effect"
There's a mystery to be solved, as the WILD KRATTS team wonders how a Gecko lizard climbs up smooth surfaces and can even climb upside down. The gang uses the Miniaturizer to shrink and discover it's all about physics. But in the meantime, Zach has stolen their Miniaturizer and now imprisons them in a glass terrarium. Martin and Chris activate the new Gecko Powers of their Creature Power Suits and must retrieve the Miniaturizer before Zach shrinks all the animals in the creature world. Science Concept: Physics – Objects have electrical charges that attract one another. The gecko's toe pad structure enhances these charges so much that they can "stick to" smooth surfaces.
October 24, 2012 – #139 "Googly Eye"
The Kratt brothers secretly "borrow" Aviva's half-finished night vision goggles to go in search of a mysterious nocturnal creature. But when the unstable goggles stop working, the brothers find themselves taken in by the nocturnal society of the tarsier. Then, when the tarsier troop is in danger of losing one of their own, Chris and Martin must tap into their newfound understanding of nocturnal living and help the troubled tarsier family. Science Concept: Nocturnal-vision creatures are creatures that come out at night. Eyes help a creature see by collecting the light that comes from objects all around. They have a feature called an iris that opens or closes the pupil to let more or less light in.
October 25, 2012 – #135 "Quillber"
It's Aviva's birthday, and Chris and Martin decide to collect shed porcupine quills to make a beautiful necklace as a gift. As they tag along with an African crested porcupine, they discover that animals have different ways to defend themselves from predators, one of which comes in handy to protect the porcupines from Zach's latest animal collection scheme. Science Concept: Defense strategies; animals have different ways to defend themselves from predators. Some animals, like porcupines, have highly specialized features designed to ward off predators. Porcupine quills are modified hairs, designed by nature into a deadly defense.
October 31, 2012 – #208 "Spiders"
When the creature adventuring Kratt Brothers take a nasty tumble, the WILD KRATTS team sets off on a mission to find and recreate one of the greatest of all biotech engineering secrets: spider silk. Science Concept: Biotechnology – Humans can develop new objects by taking cues from nature.
WILD KRATTS also just launched Creaturepedia, an online animal encyclopedia that includes information on each animal's creature powers, diet, geographic location and more, as well as video content, available on PBSKIDS.org/wildkratts.
October Programs for Kids!
October 10th, ARTHUR premiers it's 15th season with a full week of new episodes from October 10-14 at 3pm.
#1501 Fifteen, Parts I-II
How much can Arthur and his friends do in 15 minutes? Arthur tries to race home to find his report and get back to school before class starts. George gets his shot to win big bucks for his school on the radio show "15 minutes of Fame." Kate and Pal try to defeat the "Red Claw" and their mission of getting kids to play with cats by eliminating all imaginary friends. Can they all accomplish these missions impossible before the clock counts all the way down? Only time will tell!
#1502 I Wanna Hold Your Hand/Whistling in the Wind
I Wanna Hold Your Hand – During a shopping trip to the mall, Binky gets caught doing the uncoolest of all the uncool things in the world -holding his mom's hand! But wait-did George really see that or is that Binky's worst fear? Because now won't everyone think that big bad Binky Barnes is a big baby? Whistling in the Wind – Everyone knows the Tibbles are exactly the same. They look the same, they act the same, they even have the same number of hairs on their heads. So if they are supposed to be exactly the same, why can Tommy whistle while Timmy can't? Does this mean one twin is better than the other or just different?
#1503: Buster's Secret Admirer/The Last King of Lambland
Buster's Secret Admirer – Buster receives a box of chocolates in the mail from a secret admirer. Could it be Fern? Muffy? Francine?! It's driving him crazy! Who could possibly like him that much??

Buster the Lounge Lizard – Buster has the brand-new Dark Bunny Dark Buggy, complete with grappling hook and voice commands!

S.W.E.A.T. – It's time for the kids at Lakewood Elementary to take the Stoddard-Wilkins Elementary Aptitude Test, or "S.W.E.A.T." But with anxiety running high, it becomes clear that the kids need to learn some relaxation techniques. Luckily, Mrs. MacGrady is on hand to teach them a thing or two about de-stressing.

With this knowledge and wolf-powered Creature Power Suits the bros are able to fend off a hungry cougar and finally return the pup to his wolf pack.

The Pteranodon family learns more about the customs of their neighbors, the Lambeosaurus family, when they are invited for the first time to accompany them to the Big Pond to celebrate "Gourd Day" – a kind of Mesozoic Halloween.

US Virgin Islands Anthropology
Information about anthropology in the US Virgin Islands.
Anthropology is the science of humanity, intersecting the study of natural science and humanities. Anthropology studies human beings in aspects ranging from the biology and evolutionary history of Homo sapiens, to the features of society and culture that decisively distinguish humans from other animal species.
Because of the diverse subject matter it encompasses, anthropology has become a collection of more specialized fields: Physical anthropology, cultural anthropology (or ethnology), social anthropology, linguistic anthropology, psychological anthropology, and archeology.
Please submit information, questions, comments, ideas, or theories about anthropology in the US Virgin Islands.

text: So i thought it might be kinda cool to paint my engine cover one saturday. It took me about 3 hours to finish all the cleaning and painting but i thought it looks pretty cool! let me know what you guys think or if you have any questions about the process! sorry the pictures are kinda small i dont know how to make them bigger yet so your goin to need your glasses for the time being The hardest part of it all was trying to tape around the vortec lettering, but the lines were pretty easy Here it is after about 2 hours with 4-5 coats of the krylon red paint Finally done! The red paint is actually really bright looking in the sun and looks really good under the hood where no one can see it lol Let me know what yall think!

Everyone loves a good 'whodunnit' but, quite frankly, I've had enough of this 'he said, she said.'
Yes, there have been some wrongs done. Yes, there has been miscommunication. Yes, there has been a right royal shambles created but, for the game of cricket in this country to be ripped apart by it's so-called fans just for the sake of getting to the bottom of a perceived cover-up is short sighted and irresponsible.
So some new information comes to light and that information comes in the form of the very reputable Shane Bond formally expressing his concern for the poor handling of the demotion of Ross Taylor and an accusation of a cover- up by the Black Caps' administration.
But where has this left us? Back where we damn well started in a 'who do you believe?' and 'whose side are you on?' kerfuffle.
If New Zealand Cricket have lied to me, so what? If they have tried to cover up their mistake in the way they demoted Taylor, so what? All right, if that is the case then I can understand Taylor's reaction and he is quite justified in feeling miffed because his credibility has been unfairly attacked.
But as for us, well, can we all just get over ourselves?
How often do we really get the truth from a sporting organisation about anything really and can you blame them for wanting to soften the blow for themselves following a mistake, which the timing of Taylor's demotion clearly was.
Why do they have to be transparent? New Zealand Cricket is not the Government, for goodness sake. Have they mismanaged public funds? No, they have mismanaged a player.
What should we therefore expect from NZC? Better on-field performance now and into the future, that's all.
Without a doubt they need to smooth things over with Ross Taylor because he is highly important to the success of the Black Caps. How they do that given Taylor feels he's been undermined and NZC believe otherwise? I don't really know but, quite frankly, I'm happy for them to find that way without 'fessing up to anything and leaving me still in the dark over what was said in the infamous meeting in Sri Lanka.
For the good of cricket in this country do I really need to know who's telling the truth here? No, I don't...
The bottom line is a call has been made by those charged with making that call. The coach, backed by the board, decided to make a captaincy change. The process was botched and there may still be some further fall-out to come from that but personally all I'm interested in is whether or not Brendon McCullum can lift the fortunes of this cricket side.
I don't expect to be advised of everything NZC is up to. But if they continue to under-perform on the field I want answers, not explanations. Oh, and if things continue as they are, I want change.

Snap Fitness to offer TRX suspension training classes
Snap Fitness in Pequot Lakes will offer TRX suspension training classes starting April 1.
Class instructors will be Kristen Gangl, certified personal trainer, and Amanda Lobdell, licensed physical therapist assistant.
TRX training was born of necessity in the Navy SEALs. TRX founder and inventor Randy Hetrick spent 14 years serving as a Navy SEAL commando. His operational career culminated as a squadron commander of the SEAL's elite special missions unit where circumstances inspired him to experiment with what would become TRX.
TRX suspension training will give participants a complete workout in about 30 minutes. Participants will build endurance, strength and flexibility all at the same time.
TRX is unique by using body weight on suspension straps, allowing participants to engage several areas of the body with each exercise. This class will challenge participants' entire body and improve fitness levels.
Class space is limited. Reserve a spot at Snap Fitness at 218-568-5999.
To learn more about TRX, go to www.trxtraining.com. To check class times, visit Snap Fitness of Pequot Lakes' website under the "news" tab.

I own a P22 3.5" and like it. My wife really likes it. It is an accurate shooter and in my experience does good to around 200 rounds before it REALLY needs cleaned. The action gunks up pretty quick and will quit cycling. If you keep it clean, it's a blast to shoot. I had trouble initially with it (probably didn't clean it well enough when it was new) but once I had the factory grease out of it, it runs great. I would have to say that I am personally eyeing a Ruger 22/45 mark II or mark III. I have seen one of those run 3 full bricks during a range session with NO MALFUNCTIONS OF ANY KIND! I wish my P22 would do that! Like I said, about 200 rounds is all I get before it gunks up and I start having problems. It's not hard to clean, I just sometimes have to do it at the range to be able to keep shooting. I started out using CCI Stingers and now just use the cheap-o brick ammo. I haven't found any ammo that gives me trouble feeding or cycling in the gun and all seem accurate. I regularly shoot pop cans at 50 yards with it (probably 8 hits with a mag of 10 rounds).
I like the P22 and don't plan on getting rid of it. I am however looking at the Ruger as I said, maybe just for something different, but also because I saw one go over 1500 rounds in one afternoon with no cleaning. That impressed me.


text: Let me take a moment to introduce myself. I have no experience with bee keeping. I have some property in the High Desert of California and was thinking of having some bee hives on it once I retire. So I will do my research and be asking lots of questions. For now I still in the LA area and go out the high desert ever chance I get.

Hello Gloria, hello Antonio, thanks for the nice time at your place! We will come back! Briga and Willi
It was fun to stay in Glorias house. She is a nice host. We had breakfast on a terrace with a view onto the Ionian Sea. Accomodation is good value for money.
All the best , good accommodation and very nice people , greetings from Michael and Max :-)
We felt very welcome with Gloria and het husband. A great house, could have been in a lifestyle magazine! Good bed and good shower. Cosy garden! We felt at home!! I would recommend it to my friends.
We spend one week at the house of Gloria and Antonio.
We can recommend this place to other people. We had a great time!
Of course the whether in Sicily is great ( very important )but on the other hand our hosts made us feel " at home ". For us it's important to experience that.
We see them as open minded people. People that have seen and experienced that there is " more " in life. That's the reason we had many interesting and pleasant discussions during our stay.
Room and bathroom are ok. It's sufficient .You don't spent much time there is our experience.
We like to recommend to cooking of Antonio. He made some fine dishes for us during the weekend. Also the breakfast is good which is served every morning in the garden by Gloria.
From Acireale it's possible to see some interesting places as Taormina, Syracuse and the Etna. It takes some time to get there so having your own car is absolutely nessecary. Also there are some nice beaches in the neighborhood.
We like to " warn " you for the rather chaotic driving at Sicily . As people from Northern Europe we are not used to this kind of driving....haha!
Also parking your car can sometimes be difficult. But at the end you always find something!
We hope you will have the same experience as we had. That's a positive one!
( if you have any chance to meet Cynthia....? Take it! She will explain you in her own way of the English language the difference between man and woman.....)
Hans and Carla
Thanks Gloria, everything was perfect!
Nice little room, amazing breakfast in the garden and the possibility to share the dinner.
Go to Santa Maria la Scala beach for swimming in a blue unexpected see!
See you in 2015.
The house is beautiful furnished like in the photo's. We could use the kitchen where I cooked diner for Gloria once. Gloria is a perfect host. She speaks her languages and she always is prepared to help you.
Very good staying in Acireale.
Probably the best weclome all along our staying in Sicilia.
Gloria is a very nice people, like his family.
The house is nice and comfortable, charming !
We will never forget the dinner together.
Gloria e la sua famiglia sono stati gentilissimi e molto disponibili durante tutto il soggiorno. Noi avevamo una camera matrimoniale con bagno privato e anche condizionatore, poi potevamo utilizzare la cucina (dotata di tutto il necessario) che era in comune con loro e avendo orari diversi non abbiamo avuto alcuna difficoltà a gestire questa convivenza, anzi nei casi in cui ci siamo ritrovati a cenare alla stessa ora sono stati molto carini nel farci provare alcuni loro piatti. Bellissima l'area esterna, con un piccolo giardino dove rilassarsi la sera, noi l'abbiamo sfruttata tantissimo visto che mangiavamo sempre all'esterno. La casa si trova in una frazione di Acireale, consigliamo la macchina per poter girare liberamente, la zona è ricca di città e luoghi bellissimi che meritano assolutamente una visita. Possibilità di parcheggio a privato a pagamento, noi non l'abbiamo mai utilizzato perchè siamo sempre riusciti a trovare un posto lungo la stradina del paese. In caso di macchina a noleggio ne consigliamo una piccola, più comoda per parcheggiare e anche per muoversi tra le strette vie. Ringraziamo ancora Gloria e tutta la sua famiglia, l'anno prossimo saremo nei paraggi per un matrimonio, se avremo la possibilità passeremo per un saluto. E' stato un grande piacere e vi consigliamo vivamente.
Fantastyczne miejsce,którego największym atutem sa gospodarze!!! czułysmy sie jak w domu...sypialnie pełne rodzinnych zdjęć, wspólna kuchnia, troskliwa, radosna rodzina obok...prawdziwa sycylijska atmostera w pigułce!!!
Gloria i Antonio- we love you both...we miss you !

Harry Styles Gossip
Harry Styles gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Stop this.
North Woods/ Splash
Harry Styles was in New York with One Direction this weekend for their performance on SNL. These photos were taken on Saturday before the show. So cute with that headband. And then went and pissed it all away. Harry wasn't alone. That Kardashian sister again. So they went out for dinner in LA. Full Story
Harry & Daisy
BEN STANSALL/ Stuart C. Wilson/ Getty
UK gossips are rumouring that Harry Styles has started up a situation with model Daisy Lowe, daughter of Gavin Rossdale and ex-girlfriend of Matt Smith. They went to a birthday party together, and any hot girl seen in his vicinity is, naturally, totally f-cking him. Since the two were both at the British Fashion Awards last night, that means it has to be true. Full Story
Becks & Styles
FameFlynet, Splash, Stuart C. Wilson/ LEON NEAL/ Getty
Um. This might keep me busy tonight. Right before I fall asleep. Harry Styles – with a few other members of One Direction – attended the premiere of The Class of 92 last night in London. At one point he posed with David Beckham. A couple of weeks ago, I posted these photos Full Story
Award show love dramas
Jason Merritt/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
Taylor Swift is always good for it. It was just a year ago that Swift and Harry Styles were making Burberry hearts at duck ponds and in the English countryside. Last night they were both winning awards and ignoring each other, as that Kardashian he may or may not be f-cking sat one row behind him. Full Story
I'm mad at you, Harry Styles
KM-GSI/ Splash
As you know, Harry Styles is my favourite Direction. Every time I see him, I squeak and lower my eyes. Today however I'm mad at him. Because last night he went out for dinner… With someone related to Kanye West's fiancée. It's a sister. Don't ask me which one, I don't know their names. Full Story
Harry Styles: 2 degrees of Taylor Swift
Gareth Cattermole/ Samir Hussein/ Getty
Harry Styles was interviewed by InStyle UK and commented on women's fashion. I LOVE what he said about girls tottering around in impossible heels: "Sometimes you see girls walking down the street properly [dressed up] but they can't walk because their shoes are dodgy. Full Story
Harry carries his own bag
Nothing helps my Harry Styles problem. Or, at least he keeps doing sh-t to not help it. From wearing leopard print shirts to flopping his hair around to generally not being a robot or a Bieber, Harry won't give me any reasons to not perv on him. And now he's playing golf. In Australia. Full Story
Harry in leopard print
Gareth Cattermole /Getty Images
Harry Styles and Justin Bieber are the same age, born literally a month apart. Do you see them the same way? I don't see them the same way. They're certainly not hated the same way. Then again, Harry Styles, so far, hasn't made himself hated the way JB has made himself hated. But look at Harry, sitting front row at Burberry Prorsum today, surrounded by women, and they don't seem like they're babysitting. Full Story
Rihanna shat on my Gossip Genie but not on Harry Styles
Larry Busacca/ Jamie McCarthy/ Neilson Barnard/ Kevin Mazur/ Rick Diamond/ Getty
I've been praying hard at my Gossip Genie for a Rihanna-Drake re-hookup. Have you noticed that Drake isn't "linked" to many women the way famous men are constantly being "linked" to women? There's a Toronto bias here at work, sure, but if you know about Drake and his relationship with his mother, and if you read his recent profile in GQ Full Story
This Is Me on August 30
Wenn, FameFlynet
What are you doing on August 30? It's Labour Day weekend. Will you be at the cottage? On holiday somewhere? Working in the yard? BBQ? Fiona is coming here to Toronto from Vancouver that weekend. We miss each other so much. You think she's going to mind if I drag her to the One Direction movie on our quality time together? I'm not actually sure she knows what a One Direction is. Full Story
Gossip Genie this NOW
Wenn, Jason Merritt/ Kevin Winter/ FOX/ Getty
When Harry Styles goes to LA, is it an automatic that he shows up at Kimberly Stewart's house? Miley Cyrus for the cockblock! Miley Cyrus + Harry Styles. RIGHT, motherf-ckers?!? Check Miley and Harry backstage at Teen Choice last night. That, right there, is Great Gossip waiting to happen…no matter the age group. Full Story

A gas cellular can produce electrical energy through a chemical reaction between a gas and oxygen. Those that use a proton-conducting polymer membrane as the electrolyte are known as proton exchange membrane (PEM) gas cells. These are semipermeable membranes generally made from ionomers and created to carry out protons while being impermeable to gases. Nevertheless, until now, PEM fuel cells have actually unsuccessful mostly because of mechanical failure of the membrane. To increase their durability and life time, a new project had been founded. One of the absolute most common and commercially available PEM materials is the fluoropolymer perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA). The project made great strides in obtaining low equivalent-weight (EW) PFSA ionomers with improved mechanical properties contrasted to the state of the art. Benchmark ionomers may have been hitherto the best materials in the lab. Nevertheless, the task proved that they were not the best in terms of durability when membrane layer electrode assemblies (MEAs) were assessed after 100 hours of continuous procedure. To this end, experts utilized reduced EW ionomers in their bid to prepare membranes with robust mechanical properties. Their approaches relied on the usage of chemical, thermal, and processing and filler reinforcement techniques. In particular, the focus had been on checking out ionic cross-links during emulsion polymerisation and membrane layer casting. This approach leads to non-linear ionomer molecules with large molecular weight that overcome problems linked with membrane layer dimensional changes – i.e. swelling. Researchers also used electrospinning to produce organic and inorganic fibres for mechanically reinforcing the low EW standard ionomers. Through nanofibre reinforcement, scientists reported significant improvement of mechanical properties of the last membranes and greater durability, with conductivity being greater contrasted to the benchmark membrane. Another technique to mechanically strengthen the standard ionomers had been through ionic cross-linking based on nanoparticles. A number of membranes had been prepared utilizing nanoparticle fillers of different hydrophobicity. With in situ tests designed to accelerate mechanical degradation, the stabilised MEAs demonstrated improved durability, with less than 3 % voltage loss after 2 000 hours of operation.

from what i understand, bees just have to wander around the apivar strips for it to work. Does it have to be a certain temperature for the chemicals to work or does physical contact work? i.e. is it a gas that comes from the strip or is it a contact working chemical?
reason I'm asking is i just put all my bees on apivar today. Jan 2nd. Almost lost ALL my hives last year because of varroa. Put the strips on right at the start of my flow, and we couldn't get any honey in 2013.
most of the time in texas, its way above 55 just for some reason this week it's in the 40s.. so just wondering if bees wander around much when its in the 40s
i know they cluster.. but do they freeze into immobility or do they move around in the ball?
after i used the apivar last spring, i believe it slowed them down on brooding, but after a month or so after i removed the strips, they rebounded exponentially, which is why I'm trying to see if it would work a bit earlier than normal.
