journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
I don't know how well you do with graphs. some people have no problem with them. others can't see anything in them. I am of the former. IF you scroll down this page. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%...l.pone.0032151 there is a chart that shows actual measured levels of mites in colonies. The black bar is the colonies that where not treated, 11 of them and all died. 2 treated hives died by the end of February due to queen failure.
What I see in this is that hives that where the strongest in Sept dwindled and completely died out by the end of December. It does give at least one visual as to just how quick a decline could be. the population has already fallen below the treated hives after just one month. But I am not sure this woudl be enough of a difference to stand out during an inspection. This means your strongest hive in September. woudl still look strong in October. and be completely dead by the end of December.
According to this report. What would tell you your hive is dying? Mite counts.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
That is why I use the http://www.mdasplitter.com/ technique!
Don't have to worry about treatments and the nucs I made the year before replace the colonies that don't make it thru the winter. Sounds tough and it is, but once you have enough colony numbers to work with you don't have to struggle trying to keep a few colonies alive and keep buying replacements if they don't.
Every beekeeper needs to find the technique that works best for them and that can be a long hard road and an expensive one to boot or giving up entirely on keeping bees.
The above technique has been working for me and with colony expansion and selling nucs for the last 6 years so I can't say that it doesn't work!
I used to be on the med band wagon when I first started with bees and did for several years after but then decided to try Mel's techniques and I have been using them ever since.
But listen to all the advice from the beekeepers on this forum as there years of knowledge/experience will save you a lot of headaches, weed thru it all and find out what works best for you and in your area.

Peter Sinclair | August 3, 2009
By Peter Sinclair • Monday, August 3, 2009 - 20:50
In june of 2009, a story surfaced about the alleged suppression by the US EPA of information related to climate change. The source of the information was reported to be one Dr. Alan Carlin, who, although a real EPA analyst, was in fact, an economist, not a scientist.
Distortions of the story, from the usual sources, began almost immediately.

The Stench of the Denial industry is overwhelming
Regulars here will probably know that World climate Report is by Patrick Michaels who is a Denial Industry stalwart. Bought and paid for by anyone with the money, like Western Fuels, CEI, Inter-Rural Electric Association [IREA].
Google IREA letter
All thanks to BBC Newsnight's wonderfully tenacious Jeremy Paxman, who bullied Myron Ebell, into eventually admitting why Exxon funds the CEI.
Myron Ebell CEI has been active in the Denial Industry for decades.
Below is a quotation from Smoke, Mirrors & Hot Air: How ExxonMobil Uses Big Tobacco's Tactics to "Manufacture Uncertainty" http://www.ucsusa.org/assets/documents/global_warming/exxon_report.pdf
One of the most damning incidents involving Cooney also illustrates the extent of ExxonMobil's influence over the Bush administration policy on global warming. In May 2002, the administration issued the "U.S. Climate Action Report," which the U.S. State Department was obligated by treaty to file with the United Nations. Major elements of the report were based on an in-depth, peer-reviewed government research report analyzing the potential effects of global warming in the United States. Tat report, titled "U.S. National Assessment of the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change," 131 pre-dates the Bush administration and had already been attacked by ExxonMobil.132
The report generated widespread headlines such as one in the New York Times proclaiming: "Climate Changing, US Says in Report."133
Not surprisingly, ExxonMobil vociferously objected to the conclusion of the multiagency "Climate Action Report" that climate change posed a significant risk and was caused by human-made emissions.134
Concerned about the matter, Cooney contacted Myron Ebell at the Exxon-Mobil-funded Competitive Enterprise Institute. "Thanks for calling and asking for our help," Ebell responded in a June 3, 2002, email to Cooney that surfaced as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request.135
Ebell urged that the President distance himself from the report. Within days, President Bush did exactly that, denigrating the report in question as having been "put out by the bureaucracy."136
In the June 3 email, Ebell explicitly suggests the ouster of then-EPA head Christine Todd Whitman. "It seems to me that the folks at the EPA are the obvious fall guys and we would only hope that the fall guy (or gal) should be as high up as possible," Ebell wrote. "Perhaps tomorrow we will call for Whitman to be fired." 137
Sure enough, Whitman would last for less than a year in her post, resigning in May 2003. 138
Finally, Ebell pledged he would do what he could to respond to the White house's request to "clean up this mess."139
A major piece of Ebell's "clean-up" effort presumably came on August 6, 2003, when the Competitive Enterprise Institute fled the second of two lawsuits calling for the Bush administration to invalidate the National Assessment (a peer-reviewed synthesis report upon which the U.S. Climate Action Report was based). The CEI lawsuit called for it to be withdrawn because it was not based upon "sound science." 140
Given the close, conspiratorial communication between Ebell and Cooney that had come to light, the lawsuit prompted the attorneys general of Maine and Connecticut to call upon the U.S. Justice Department to investigate the matter. 141
however, the Bush administration Justice Department, then led by John Ashcroft, refused to launch such an investigation, despite the fact that the Maine and Connecticut attorneys general stated forcefully that the evidence suggested that Cooney had conspired with Ebell to cause the Competitive Enterprise Institute to sue the federal government. As Maine Attorney General Steven Rowe noted: "The idea that the Bush administration may have invited a lawsuit from a special interest group in order to undermine the federal government's own work under an international treaty is very troubling." 142
A key piece of evidence, unnoticed at the time, strongly suggests just how the scheme fit together. In 2002, in a move virtually unprecedented in its corporate giving program, Exxon-Mobil offered an additional $60,000 in support for the Competitive Enterprise Institute —specifically earmarked to cover the organization's unspecifed "legal activities." 143

Connection between Myron Ebell / CEI and Patrick Michaels
Connection between Myron Ebell / CEI who leaked the Carlin report and Patrick Michaels who wrote most of it.
'There are other groups that are interested in the issue of global warming and the concerns about its costs. Koch Industries is working with other large corporations including AEP and the Southern company, on possibly financing a film that would counteract An inconvenient Truth. Koch has also decided to finance a coalition that very likely will be administered through the National Association of Manufacturers. The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) has been running two ads in ten states that were financed by General Motors and the Ford Motor Company. CEI has a director on climate change and other employees working on the issue. We have met with Koch, CEI and Dr. Michaels, and they meet among themselves periodically to discuss their activities.'

This quote also reveals the connivance of Koch Industries AEP, Southern Company, General Motors, Ford Motor Company to undermine the science.

The Medieval Warming Crock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrKfz8NjEzU
Cy Cicero replied on Permalink
Crock? First time I've heard that. Anyone real dispute it?
I went to watch this video, only to find that it is made by the very same people who put out the substance-less, malicious and thoroughly dishonest video on Carlin! (see my post on this above). I will probably actually watch it, but I expect that it will tell me a lot about the people who made it and the people who recommend it and tell me very little, if anything, that is truthful about the Medieval Warm Period.
For those who care, below is a government website link that discusses it. I clipped and pasted part of the text. On the website there is a very interesting graph of reconstructed temperatures from 700 A.D. to the present, which could not be cut and pasted here. The text doesn't squarly address what I find most interesting: 1) the climate warmed from 700 AD to the latter 900s, and human-produced C02 obviously had nothing to do with it. So other factors cause climate warming; 2) after the Medieval Warm Period, the Earth went on a long-term cooling trend, culminating in the "little ice age". Then, around the year 1800, temperatures began to rise markedly. Looking at this graph, covering 1300 years, it appears that we are on a long-term warming trend that began more than a century before C02 emissions could have had anything to do with it. So again,natural factors drove and may continue to drive the warming trend.
Medieval Warm Period - 9th to 13th Centuries
Norse seafaring and colonization around the North Atlantic at the end of the 9th century indicated that regional North Atlantic climate was warmer during medieval times than during the cooler "Little Ice Age" of the 15th - 19th centuries. As paleoclimatic records have become more numerous, it has become apparent that "Medieval Warm Period" or "Medieval Optimum" temperatures were warmer over the Northern Hemisphere than during the subsequent "Little Ice Age", and also comparable to temperatures during the early 20th century. The regional patterns and the magnitude of this warmth remain an area of active research because the data become sparse going back in time prior to the last four centuries.
The plot below, from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (2007), shows numerous Northern Hemisphere paleoclimatic temperature reconstructions. The various studies differ in methodology, and in the underlying paleoclimate proxy data utilized, but all reconstruct the same basic pattern of cool "Little Ice Age", warmer "Medieval Warm Period", and still warmer late 20th and 21st century temperatures.

Great Vid
Videos alledging distortions should not begin with distortions
It is a gross distortion to say that Dr. Carlin is not a scientist. He has a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Cal Tech in addition to a PhD in economics from my alma matter, MIT. He was commenting issues that specifically address his expertise, namely climate change and policy and their economic consequences and costs. For several years prior to the recent incident, he was professionally employed by the EPA in this capacity.
A great many respected climate scientists do not have PhDs in science. This includes Rajendra K. Pachauri, the head of the IPCC, whose degrees are in Industrial Engineering and Economics.
By claiming, without any qualification, that Dr. Carlin is not a scientist, you undermine your credibility. I stopped watching after about a minute because of this presumptively deliberate misinformation.
Is the case for action on climate change so weak that it can not be made without deliberate distortion? I suspect not. I suspect that the fault lies with the videos creator.
For the record, I think that Dr. Carlins contribution was not particularly meritorious.
climate criminal replied on Permalink
A Batchelor's degree does not make anyone a Scientist
The minimum qualification for a scientist is not a Batchelor's, but a higher degree, typically a Ph.D. in a scientific discipline. Since Dr Carlin's doctorate is in economics, as is his work, it is fair to assume that he would not be regarded as a scientist.
And it shows, since he isn't even very good at plagiarism.
It is also curious that up until this curious sequence of events, Dr Carlin had apparently been entirely convinced that GW was anthropogenic. Furthermore, there has not been any clear evidence that the mechanisms driving climate change have altered, so it couldn't be the science.
So presumably, it was something-else that changed Dr Carlin's mind.
Richard Steckis replied on Permalink
"The minimum qualification for a scientist is not a Batchelor's, but a higher degree, typically a Ph.D. in a scientific discipline."
What? That is a load of twaddle. I know many scientsts who are capable scientists without Ph.D.s. Having a doctorate is not the defining qualification for being a scientist. If it was then that rules out Darwin, Copernicus, Gallileo, Mendel, and most other "scientists" before the 20th Century and a hell of a lot of capable scientist in the 20th and 21st century.
Go away and live in your delusional world!
climate criminal replied on Permalink
If Carlin was so good why did he need to plagiarise?
If Carlin was so good at atmospheric science, why did he feel the need for plagiarism?
Darwin, Copernicus, Galileo, Mendel, were superb scientists and whose discoveries led to new branches of science.
If you believe Carlin is even remotely comparable with Darwin, Copernicus, Galileo or Mendel, then you are deluded.

Cy Cicero replied on Permalink
Who is cherry-picking?
This is the first thing I have viewed on this website and I am astounded at the dissembling, distortion and blatant dishonesty. The makers are guilty of everything they accuse Carlin of - and he is not at all, at least from what I can see, and I read his paper. Not to mention that it fails to address a single substantive point in his paper.
1. The video make quite a deal about the graph Carlin presents that begins with 2006. But that graph was presented simply to make a point about temperatures since 2006! The makers deceitfully characterize his work as if rests on this one graph, as if everything he says was based on a few years of data. They disdainfully accuse him of dishonest cherry-picking. The truth is THEY dishonestly cherry-picked that graph from his report! His 100 page report his dozens of graphs, most of which have at least decades of data, many that have over a century of data, many which have hundreds of years of data, and at at least one that goes back 11,000 years.
2. The video leads off with an accusation of plagiarism that, on inspection doesn't even appear accurate, and, even if were is utterly trivial. More importantly, its points are fundamentally dishonest. The text it cites states the simple but important and incontestable point that any science behind the IPCC's 4th Assessment Report is at least three years old. There are only so many ways to say this. His language isn't the same as the other piece the video claims he plagiarized, which, additionally, it says isn't peer reviewed. Pointing out that the science behind a study is more than three years old is not a point that can be plagiarized. It is a simple statement of fact. It is a fact that does not require peer-review to be stated. The video's points here are nothing but deliberate false innuendo.
3. There is a great deal of substance in Carlin's paper, which the video does not address whatsoever. One wonders if the makers have any ability to do so. Presumably if they could, they would; if they can't - well then they resort to dissembling, deceit and baseless ad hominem attacks. The video does not even acknowledge the fact that global temperatures on average have been trending lower in recent years, let alone try to address it. Carlin presents a great deal of information, science and intelligent argument to the effect that the models upon which the disaster projections rely have already proved unreliable - they completely failed to predict the recent cooling. He very competently presents information on what the models have most likely failed to account for - the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, solar activity changes, and more. If the makers have the ability to debunk his ideas, they should have debunked them.
They are much more interested and able to dissemble rather than debunk, unfortunately.

Russian Orthodox church backs Putin's ban on Russian adoptions by Americans
The Russian Orthodox church has been attacked for supporting a new law banning Americans from adopting Russian children, at the end of a year that saw it plagued by scandal and accusations of collusion with an increasingly authoritarian Kremlin.
Father Vsevolod Chaplin, a high-ranking priest and a spokesman for the church, said the law was "a search for a social answer to an elementary question: why should we give, and even sell, our children abroad?"
Speaking to Interfax, a state news agency, last week, Chaplin said the path to heaven would be closed to children adopted by foreigners. "They won't get a truly Christian upbringing and that means falling away from the church and from the path to eternal life, in God's kingdom," he said.
Somewhere, Obama is furiously scribbling notes on a legal pad.
KingGold on December 30, 2012 at 1:43 PM
Well that is a shock? Guess the church wanted to stay open with putin in power, so they caved too?
Y'all are just hurting the poor children and American parents who would give them a loving home!
letget on December 30, 2012 at 1:44 PM
Aside from the children's travesty, which is not to be discounted, it is high time that the UN and other azzhats, also Obama, promote that Russia, Mexico, India, Africa, and the rest of the world take care of their own children.
340 billion a year is spent by the US for illegal immigrants, just for starters.
Indians take private flight lessons in the US and their relatives die of leprocy in India. The UN denies that it still exists. I know first hand that it does. Only nuns take care of the ill because the UN doesn't acknowledge its existence.
Wake up entire world. YOU are full of leftist hypocrites who are no more than tyrannical extremists. It offends humanity and destroys the children.
Schadenfreude on December 30, 2012 at 1:47 PM
Well, it's not like the Russian Orthodox Church is distinguishable from the government in any meaningful way.
Also, AmeriKa should look after her own, legal citizen, children.
Schadenfreude on December 30, 2012 at 1:59 PM
Are their no American children that need adopting?
Last time i checked..we didn't have a shortage.
Why spend 10's of thousands to adopt over seas
when we have thousands of
our own children here who need a loving home?
Many rotting in group homes and
moved around the foster care system.
I do not agree with this political game and using children as pawns and the bought off Orthodox church chiming in.
Just a question.
A friend in business I have has spent 3 years
trying to adopt a child in Ethiopia. (still no child)
Thousands upon thousands of dollars and dealing with games by their Govt.
They too have a small quota on how many they
let through adoption.
Whats the reasoning behind skipping
children here and adopting over seas?

Whats the reasoning behind skipping
children here and adopting over seas?
I have heard that one of the reasons, mothers/dad of said kid here in the US might want the kid back whenever she want them? And lots of times the courts side with the real mother? That could be one reason for overseas adoptions?
In any case, the adoptive parents are being held hostage when countries or courts make things so hard for them.
letget on December 30, 2012 at 2:46 PM
There is absolutely a shortage of kids in the US to adopt. First of all, the system always errs on the side of placing kids back with the parent(s) or family member, so the overwhelming number of kids in foster homes are kids who have a family member who are willing to have them back but aren't deemed ready by the system for whatever reason, drug abuse, domestic violence, etc. But these kids are not up for adoption because the parent or other family custodian will not sign away rights. Also with no stigma on unwed mothers, babies hardly ever come up for adoption.
So many babies and children are adopted from China because in China something simple like a cleft lip that can be treated with surgery is looked upon as a person defect and they do rot in group homes. And the over abundance of unwanted girls of course.
There is absolutely a lot more kids that are open for adoptions from other countries. In the US, the foster parents are really doing the hard work of saving the kids that need it, but they never know when the child may be taken from them. But they are truly providing those foster kids a loving home that might never experience one otherwise.

Yes, foreign adoption can be expensive and a long process as well. But it is not due to a lack of demand. Yes there is misery in the US, but being a foster parents is a hard road to travel and not for everyone, I commend those who can. But there are many, many parents in the US who would love to raise an unwanted child from another country as their own giving them all the love and financial benefits thy have to offer, and a lot of unwanted children in other countries who need that. I don't get your point that there is something wrong with that because there are other irrelevant unhappiness here in this country? Like parents who want kids to love and raise shouldn't be allowed to adopt unwanted kids from other countries until they've made the US 100% perfect? It makes no sense.

Marriage of Church and State. What conservatives want for America.
lester on December 30, 2012 at 3:05 PM
And it had nothing to do with white kids from Russia. My pastor adopted a girl from China and twins from Africa, most countries there don't allow adoption. Most people who can't bear children and want them desperately could care less the color and would give anything for African countries to open to adoption.
Ironically I have another friend who is white with an Asian husband with two mixed race little girls and adopted a white boy from Russia. They obviously could care less about skin color.
Stop talking about stuff you know nothing about.

Marriage of Church and State. What conservatives want for America.
lester on December 30, 2012 at 3:05 PM
You bring up an interesting and relevant topic. But, to remain reality based, we need to observe that at the moment it's American conservatives that are fighting against the marriage of Church and State with regards to Hobby Lobby and the Catholic Church (among others) fighting mandates from the Federal Government. So, in practice, the Left is currently pushing for this marriage – not the right (libertarians or conservatives).

people like to adopt babies and babies are in short supply in the US adoption system, especially white babies, which are the highest preference of the adopting population.
Lots of kids in the US system are older, from 'troubled' backgrounds, and are black. That makes them harder to place since most people adopting don't want to deal with that combination.
None of this says anything about the motives of any one set of adoptive parents, or that their bad people or anything. I'm speaking in aggregate terms. White Russian baby is easier than Chinese toddler is easier than Black American child. That's just the reality of it.
theblackcommenter on December 30, 2012 at 3:36 PM
Plenty of misery to solve in the US.
Schadenfreude on December 30, 2012 at 2:57 PM
Kids without families don't much care what color skin their parents have, just that they have secure arms to wrap around them. The reason many of us go overseas is because of misery wrought by the gov't. The children are used as pawns between inept social workers, judges with good intentions but little horse sense, and birth parents looking for yet one more second chance to get their stuff stacked. By the time parental rights are severed, these children have been emotionally and physically been through a wringer and may never recover. Giving them "back" is not as difficult as what you're giving them back to. That said, a child in foster care is nowhere near the tragedy of a child left to the Darwinian communist subsistence at 14-16, left on their own with no connections, no skills, no social welfare system.
As someone who has spent extensive time behind the doors of an orphanage, and having children who were almost ruined by it, I can't expect you to see it the same way I do. The tragedy of it is seeing that apparently some kids are seen as less deserving of love and adoption than others in your eyes and many others', simply because of where they were born. That's pretty bigoted and myopic. Also the blanket assumption that we are all adopting infants who "match" us. Most of us just see children who need families, and we meet the physical, emotional, and medical needs they bring with them. My children were adopted with special needs, don't match me, and neither of us much care. They have a family, and there are a couple fewer orphans in the world. And there are thousands of families like mine, just doing what we can, one at a time, regardless of where they were born.
hoosiermama on December 30, 2012 at 3:52 PM
I beg to differ. Many that adopt from Russia to so to save the hard children that dont get the opportunities there they would in the us. Read this, every word, brazil9 and schad especially.
Especially note this paragraph near the end.
You might ask, "Why can't Russian families
take care of the orphans there?" Russian citizens cannot adopt these children even if they wanted to. There is no place for them in society-no handicap accesible facilites, no special education programs, no jobs, and no medical care. Institutions are the only options for these children.
Putin is a monster.
rose-of-sharon on December 30, 2012 at 3:53 PM
Just to clarify, my beg to differ was to theblackcommenter that people make adoptive decisions based on ease or color. Many do to save the children they think have the least chance otherwise. Given, some want the most "normal" child because they don't believe they have the ability to raise a special needs child, so I guess you are saying more to the extent it effects the situation they feel they are able to handle, but even there I don't think that is contributing to an unfilled need in the US. Maybe as far as a need for foster parents, but that is a really hard thing most don't feel they can handle emotionally, getting attached to a child that might be taken away.
I know some do worry about providing the best cultural experience for a child of different color, but I really do not think that is common and among the handful friends I have that have adopted, actually all have been different races and really no qualms about that aspect. Now that I think of it, white friends of ours that live in the deep south also adopted two Hispanic boys as toddlers (talk about from 0 to 60 in seconds) and I asked them if they encounter much bigotry because of it and they said not really.
So I have white friends that adopted from china, Africa, and even native American territories, crazy paperwork process with that one! And then the friend who adopted from Russia is an interacial couple, white/Asian. I think the racial aspect is over stated. I agree with hoosiermama there.
Anyone with money that cares about that stuff is just going to pay for tons of in vitro fertilization or a surrogate mother.

You lost me with the sanctimonious attitude to Shad.
And how do you know what he knows? So he should just shut up?
He made a valid point.
1/2 the children in our system are black. A large # of all the children from birth on have behavioral and developmental issues. That is exceeding difficult and takes a special couple to handle it and harder to place those children.
Your experience doesn't make what he said irrelevant. I am genuinely happy for the children your pastor and friends decided to raise.
This is an inconvenient truth-right here..part of the problem.
theblackcommenter on December 30, 2012 at 3:36 PM
rose-of-sharon on December 30, 2012 at 3:53 PM
Yeah..I read every word..thanks..I usually read every other word of a post.
I don't deny Putin is filth in a suit. Look at the entire planet. Suffering and misery across the globe. I didn't ask why Russians aren't adopting their own. Or any other country-I get it. My point was that we are not even taking care of our own children here. I've walked in neighborhoods that resembled 3rd world hell holes I had the pleasure of traveling to.
Children right here living in squalor,war zones,violence, raised by the streets,institutions, group homes and foster care placements-on and on. What about OUR children? I worked in it and it left me disgusted.
I have no problem with people who adopt out side the US and want to give children a loving,secure home and life. Or Charity abroad. God Bless them and all that foster families do here and those who continue to fight. What pisses me off is that some people conjure up outrage about what goes on in other countries but cant seem to muster giving a damn about our own dirty house. This isn't about you or directed at you personally.
So, yet again-we have another broken system that doesn't change
– just another bureaucratic mess. Fails our children. Another problem to turn a blind eye to. To hard here..go somewhere else. Nice message to our children in need.
The fact that Putin is a monster doesn't change the fact our system is broken and an embarrassing failure.
bazil9 on December 30, 2012 at 5:17 PM
On the issue of the disproportionate number black kids in the system, and why there aren't more white families adopting them, perhaps you need to ask the National Association of Black Social Workers that question, as to why it's discouraged. Apparently, skin color IS an issue–to social workers. And they have a very hard time finding enough black foster families to foster/adopt these kids the "correct" way, that preserves and celebrates their culture–the culture that put them into this situation in the first place. The breakdown of the black family unit has been one of the most discouraging things to witness.
Yes, it would be ideal if no children here needed forever families, but at some point families just get tired of fighting bureaucracy.
hoosiermama on December 30, 2012 at 5:30 PM
Brazil9, when you said this
Are their no American children that need adopting?
Last time i checked..we didn't have a shortage
Is when you proved you didn't know what you are talking about. And when Shad said it had anything to do about white kids from russia I got pissed off. A shortage of adoptable kids is exactly why people are adopting overseas, also to save them from the horrid conditions thy are in there, the likes of which is nothing like any personnor animal receives in Thai contry.
No we are not perfect here. But to imply what's the big deal about adopting overseas when there are so many kids that need help here is ridiculous. First of all, many of the kids need help here are not up for adoption. And it's not like no one here is willing to help them, there are tons of people and organizations publically and privately giving of their time any money to help those in need in inner cities and other awful conditions in this country. No society will ever be perfect, there will always be sufferig, some will be able to be eased, some won't. It's just stupid to bring it into the actual topic here.

To reiterate, this is a straw man. I have confidence we as a society can work to fix broken systems here while still allowing childless families to adopt overseas orphans. It's not like one or the other. Moron.

This is the best apartment we have ever stayed in! So beautiful and stylish, we felt like at home, great location near lovely Jordan. It has got a nice balcony where we liked to spend our evenings. We got very useful information and advices from Marlou's friend. It was lovely to spend some time in this flat! We would definitely come back!
Beautiful apartment. Marlou was brilliant before we got there . Very helpful.
we only used the bed as we were out all day , Would recommend as near to everything .ideal for couples and small family.
Many Thanks Marlou
Thank you very much. It was a nice stay in Amsterdam. The apartment was clean, nice and very well located, barely ten minutes to Jordaan. We felt very comfortable. I am happy to recommend further the apartment.
Nice apartment not far from the center.
Nette Wohnung nicht weit ins Zentrum.
The apartment of Marlou was very nice, quiet and friendly. We felt immediately comfortable.
The city is just 10-15 min away by foot.
It's amazing to see this nice nature in the area of the apartment in such a big city.
We would love to come again!
We had a very pleasant stay at this property. Beautiful apartment, which is much greater than indicated by the images. The hostess is friendly and helpful. For example, Amsterdam is fun.
Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt in dieser Unterkunft. Schöne Wohnung, die viel größer ist, als es die Bilder vermuten lassen. Die Gastgeberin ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. So macht Amsterdam Spass.
Great spacious tidy apartment in which is close to all amenities, shops, tram, train etc but yet such a lovely quiet location next to the canal within 10-15 min walking distance from everything.
Beautiful, clean and really quiet apartment with all the comfort (very well-equipped bathroom and kitchen). And it is nearby the centre, only some stops with bus or tram (also good night transport). Kind and available host, payed attention to everything. I would definitely recommend!
Die Wohnung an ruhiger Lage ist eine sehr tolle Unterkunft. Sauber, aufgeräumt und gut möbiliert.
Marlou war eine nette Gastgeberin. Die Informationen zur Wohung (wie, wo, was..) hat sie uns früh genug übermittelt und so kamen wir ganz gut zurecht.
Der Weg bis in die Innenstadt ist nicht weit. Busverbindung in ca. 10 Gehminuten zu erreichen. Für den Weg zum Bahnhof/ Airport haben wir den Dienst Uber genutzt.
Gerne wären wir noch länger geblieben. Diese Wohnung ist zu empfehlen!

House passes Health Insurance Exchange legislation
The Minnesota House of Representatives passed HF 5, legislation establishing a health insurance exchange, on a vote of 72-58 Monday night, March 4.
Health insurance exchanges are a key component of the Affordable Care Act. Rep. John Ward, DFL-Baxter, voted in favor of the bill.
"The health insurance exchange will serve more than one million Minnesotans and, most importantly, will be Minnesota-made online marketplace where individuals, families and small businesses will be able to get quality, affordable health coverage that fits their budget," said Ward.
Enrollment in the Minnesota Health Insurance Exchange begins Oct. 1, 2013, with plan coverage starting Jan. 1, 2014. If Minnesota does not pass legislation establishing an exchange, the federal government will step in and establish it for the state.
"We need a Minnesota-made health care exchange rather than a one-size-fits-all federal exchange," said Ward. "We can do a better, cheaper exchange if we do it ourselves. A state exchange allows us to control the products, services, and systems so Minnesotans are best served. This will maintain our reputation as a leader in health care."
Minnesota families are projected to save more than $1 billion by using the exchange to purchase insurance — with the average family saving $500 and a lower-income family saving approximately $1,800. The exchange is expected to help roughly 300,000 uninsured Minnesotans gain coverage by 2016.
Nearly 200,000 small businesses employees are also expected to access coverage through the exchange. Small businesses currently pay on average 18 percent more than large businesses, an average of $11,000 per year for a family coverage. Small employers are projected to save up to 7.5 percent off of premium costs in the exchange and those eligible for tax credits will save even more. Small business owners would be able to choose the plan for their workers, or let their employees choose the plan that's right for them.
"This exchange can help reduce our skyrocketing health care costs, helping Minnesota families and small businesses in the process," said Ward. "Health care is often a tremendous expense for families and businesses and anything we can do to reduce those costs will help our economy. These savings will be great for our state."
The bill funds operation of the exchange by charging health insurance companies up to a 3.5 percent surcharge on premiums of the health plans purchased through the exchange. Exchange staff expects to charge less than 3.5 percent — closer to 2 to 2.25 percent — a federal health insurance exchange would be locked at 3.5 percent.
A number of amendments were offered and accepted during the floor debate. The bill passed off the House floor included an amendment that prohibits any plan sold through the exchange to include abortion coverage, with exceptions made for the life of the mother, rape or incest. Ward voted in favor of the amendment.
The Senate is expected to pass its version of the Health Insurance Exchange bill later this week. The two bills would then go to a conference committee.

Free meals offered at Pine River-Backus School
The Pine River-Backus School has begun its annual Seamless Summer Program to feed not only summer school kids, but any kids age 18 and younger.
The program began Aug. 5 in conjunction with summer school. Jilline Blanchard, PR-B food service director, said the program has been held during summer school for the last three years because of numbers.
"This (students in the cafeteria) is just summer school," Blanchard said. "I haven't noticed anybody that's not in summer school. To make it feasible, the numbers have to be higher."
Blanchard said they sometimes get a small number of kids attending the free breakfast and lunch program who are not attending summer school. If more students from outside of summer school attended the program, it could be offered throughout the entire summer.
"It's always a thought, because it's an option you can do, but the numbers aren't ever really high enough," Blanchard said.
Other schools have successful summer long free meal programs, such as in Pillager. The program is state funded and reimbursed in the same way as meals during the school year. Due to the number of children who go hungry in the area surrounding Pine River, food shelf and family center staff have been focusing on the program as a way to possibly help feed more area children and reduce the cost of food to families.
"My main goal, I would like to feed children who are hungry," Blanchard said. "It's available. It's free. I would like to see anybody in town that needs a meal to come and get a good meal, but that's the main goal — to hit who I can and get the word out more."
Blanchard said those who have attended the program include children from nearby homes and apartment complexes, day cares and children with parents who are already at the school for other reasons. This suggests that distance and transportation might be deterring families who might otherwise take advantage of free breakfasts and lunches at the school.
Last year the program attracted around 70 children for breakfast and 85 children for lunch on a daily basis. This year's first day showed similar numbers. The menu is organized similar to a school year menu, but with small differences.
"I have a few different things, because of smaller numbers I bring in nicer, fresh produce, and there are a few upgrades to things like having a fresh salsa," Blanchard said.
Meals are nutritionally balanced. Children are required to take a vegetable or fruit every day and calories are strictly monitored.
In addition, parents who want to join their children at breakfast or lunch are rare, but welcome. Anyone older than 18 pays $3.35.
Currently the Seamless Summer program mostly serves elementary age children attending summer school, though the program is dedicated to serving anyone under the age of 18, whether they are attending summer school, living in low-income families or are just nearby looking for something to eat with friends.
Breakfast is served from 8-9 a.m. Lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Meals are completely free and require no sign up. Those interested in a meal can come to the Pine River-Backus School cafeteria with their appetite ready. For more information, call 218-587-2865.


text: Pretty sure I'm already correct but the lowest we could possibly draft now is at the #26th spot, right? That's obviously assuming we would lose to GB and Denver loses too. Denver would be in front of us because we have the better record. Kind of excited to see where we might go in that area of the draft in the 1st round.

text: Hey guys first off I am new to this board and I am pretty excited to join it. It seems that all the other boards I have been on lately have slowly died down. Anyways it seems like some of you guys are good at evaluating a guys projection in the draft. That is good because its always good to get a few opinions on someone you recommend. In the first looks like most of you want D. Someone like olgetree or along those lines. There is a RB from Mich St. Le'veon Bell I believe I think he could be a perfect compliment to Wilson in the backfield. Bell is a big back whos durable and he has been productive. I honestly dont know where he is projected but if we got him in like 3rd I think that would be a very solid pick.

Turning Idealism Into Action
How young men and women are turning their hard times into global progress. By Jill W. Iscol. More
This harrowing child abuse PSA is garnering so much controversy in Ireland that it was banned from 'all Irish media' by the country's Advertising Standards Association. But it's not for the reason you think - apparently the ASA took offense with the abuser's gender. Warning: Much of the imagery is disturbing.


text:
Our closest relatives, the chimpanzees, can last into their mid-40s in the wild. Yet somewhere in the past six million years, human lifespans have lengthened dramatically, so that living into our 70s is no big surprise.
A recent paper featured in The Conversation showed that at all ages, humans are less likely to die than chimps.
Excitingly, however, modern health care, diets and the steady decline in violent deaths have slashed mortality rates of young adults. People in societies like Japan are now almost 200 times less likely to die at a given age than people of the same age in hunter-gatherer societies.
The dramatic declines in modern mortality rates are almost entirely due to technological developments, but the lengthening of the maximum potential human lifespan since we diverged from the other great apes poses an intriguing evolutionary problem.
Our bodies only function as well as they do because we have a quiver-full of cellular repair and maintenance mechanisms.
But natural selection optimises those mechanisms to operate during our expected lifespan. Modern people who live beyond 70 are much more likely to suffer from cancers, dementia and other diseases of old age. Few of our ancestors - even the most recent ones - lived that long, and these late-onset diseases didn't interfere with their successful reproduction. By the time they got the diseases, our ancestors had already passed their genes on - and that's why we carry those same genes.
Six million years ago, the diseases of old age probably kicked in before our great-ape ancestors hit 40. The evolution of a longer lifespan involved a steady postponement of ageing. But only if older individuals contribute to the success of their own genes can this actually happen.
Grandmothers are enjoying a renaissance in the evolutionary sciences, and it seems that delayed ageing might have evolved via grandmothering.
A few months ago, I wrote about the evolution of menopause. In most animals, females reproduce throughout their adult lives. But women, and females of some whale species, stop having offspring of their own and live on for some time.
Exactly how this evolves remains controversial, but the help grandmothers provide to their adult offspring is crucial to all the competing theories. Male killer whales whose mothers are still alive tend, themselves, to live longer and sire more calves.
Human grandmothers help their daughters or sons to raise families of their own. The exact pathway by which menopause evolved will probably take decades to resolve entirely. But menopause and grandmothering also appear to have important evolutionary consequences.
Anthropologist Kristen Hawkes has, for some time, argued that the evolution of menopause led to the lengthening of the human lifespan. When a mother retires from having more children of her own and starts investing in grandchildren, she continues to ensure the success of her own genes.
So, any genes that hasten the onset of ageing and disease in older women also rob grandchildren of the food and protection of their grannies. Which is why, according to Hawkes' "grandmother hypothesis", the evolution of longer human lifespans was driven by the important contributions grandmothers made to their grandchildren's fitness.
The grandmother hypothesis is far from universally accepted. Some papers argue that the benefits to grandchildren are far too weak to drive an evolutionary extension of grandmother's lives.
And what about men? Could longer male lives simply be a byproduct of lengthening female lives? The short answer is "possibly". Many of the same diseases of ageing afflict women and men, so any suppression of these diseases would result in longer lifespans for both sexes.
But a 2007 paper suggests that men might have been the primary drivers of human lifespan extension. The writers produced a model showing that men's ability to sire children well into old age - an ability practiced with some relish by many older, wealthier men throughout history - could be just as important as grandmothering. Perhaps Viagra will stimulate a new evolutionary rise in human lifespan.
Of course there is no reason that virile old men and helpful grandmothers could not have both pushed back the onset of ageing and extended our lifespans. But the latest volley from Hawkes and her collaborators gives new support to the importance of grandmothers.
Using a simple simulation model, they showed that a relatively modest amount of grandmothering can lead to the evolution of extended grand-maternal longevity. From a simple chimp-like state in which few women lived beyond their child-bearing years, the contributions grandmothers made to their grandchildren's survival and future reproduction eventually led to the evolution of extra decades worth of lifespan.

Cool, Yet Country, in Healdsburg
The Irish Rose Inn • Healdsburg, CA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in Michael's or Kimberly's Room, The Rose Room, or Chateau Margi
- Daily Full Breakfast
- Wine-Tasting Passport for More Than 120 Wineries
- Welcome Bottle of Wine
- Combine Up to Three Vouchers for an Extended Stay
Of all the 'life's too short' canards, perhaps the most common ending is 'to drink bad wine.' And in Healdsburg, there doesn't seem to be any of it—of the bad stuff, that is. Just 65 miles from San Francisco, the California wine country destination has been called Sonoma's answer to St. Helena, but the number of four-star restaurants popping up haven't trumped the small-town vibe just yet.
While it may feel like there are more wineries than there is time (more than 100 in the three surrounding valleys!), The Irish Rose Inn, a centenarian Craftsman-style home-turned B&B on Dry Creek Road, puts you within walking distance of a number of family-owned vineyards. Inside, each room is a bit different—Michael's Room has a pinewood four-poster bed and a spa tub; the butter-yellow walls, quilt-topped queen-size bed, and view of the horse paddocks add up to a country vibe in Kimberly's Room; the simply decorated Rose Room is on the first floor; and Chateau Margi, a one-bedroom cottage appointed with a kitchen, is adjacent to the inn.
Morning brings breakfast that might include a French toast soufflé or eggs plucked from the chicken coop outside. Be sure to ask owner Chris for winery suggestions (or for an introduction to the resident pot-bellied pig). Less than five miles away, the town's 19th-century plaza, lined with specialty shops, galleries, and boutiques, is a worthwhile distraction if you're the type to consider drinking before noon a faux pas. If, like us, you're ready to imbibe at any time of day, hop on a couple of bikes and start sipping pinot noirs of the Russian River Valley, zinfandels of Alexander Valley, and sauvignon blancs of Dry Creek Valley, among many possibilities—you'll be armed with a passport booklet giving you free access to tastings at over 120 wineries.
Picnic procurements for lunch can be found at Oakville Grocery or Dry Creek General Store, but you'll want to have dinner in town. Graze over crispy beer-battered green beans with mango salsa and goat-cheese-and-mushroom-stuffed chile rellenos at Zin Restaurant & Wine Bar. Or, visit celebrity chef Charlie Palmer's hometown restaurant Dry Creek Kitchen for inventive but not too out there modern-American cooking. Because life's also too short to miss great food.
"The countryside around Healdsburg is the sort you dream about when you're planning a wine country vacation."-- Read Fodor's Review of Healdsburg

Discussion in 'Sports Zone' started by juck, Oct 20, 2012.
Kansas State QB just wins.
I think he's better than Tebow. Bigger and stronger. Dude is doing it without top recruits too. Tebow had Percy Harvin, Chris Rainey, Jeff Demps, Riley Cooper, Louis Murphy, and Aaron Hernandez who all made it to the NFL.
It's a good comparison but Klein is bigger and can throw it better IMO. You are right all he does is wins. Peeps around here are talking about them running the table. The W tonight will really get the talk ramped up even more. I'm anxious to see how the Heisman voting goes.
He's better then Tebow, could even become a first round pick when the time comes..
agree! if Kstate wins out or possibly even with one good loss trophy should be his...i just don't see how anyone else is even close at this point.
if he can prove he's legit nfl passing-capable, which I'm still on the fence about but tend to think he is, he could be the first qb taken.
KSTATE!!! the big 12's last hope at the title! Klein is a beast too!
As a sooners fan... i hope he hurries and goes to the nfl.
I've only seen him play once but the difference is he's a real QB not a RB who just happens to throw occasionally.
That's a sad story.
I'm stuck in the middle of SEC country man. We don't get many K-State games here. Plus my cable has been screwed up.
Hey Yeager...I have watched nearly every K-State game the last two years. In my opinion he is a guy that throws only when needed. No one should confuse him with RG3. He has a awkward throwing motion, but for whatever reason manages to get the ball where it needs to be. With that being said, he has become a more accomplished passer this season, but the meat of his game is hammering opponents with his runs. He is such an effective runner that it opens up the passing game.
I am not convinced he is a NFL quality QB with regards to his arm. I am a huge K-State fan, but I just don't see it. He is a better player than Tebow, so someone will take a flyer on him. I would be happy to see a star on his helmet, but not before the fourth round.
I have not watched them as much as you but I agree with your post.
I think some seen him vs the WVU game and just assumed he was more of a passer vs a runner but right now a one legged, half blind bearded lady could put up good passing numbers vs WVU.
That's a great assessment of Klein. It isn't always pretty but this guy has Charlie Sheen's disease - WINNING!
That is the game I saw.
He's not an NFL QB. His throwing motion is even worse than Tebow. I don't know what his role will be in the NFL...he'll definitely get a look somewhere because of his size/athleticism but he also has a TON of miles on his body and a lot of hits taken.
Love the guy, and he really is like Tebow, only he has less NFL talent around him. He does throw the ball much better than Tebow.
I doubt he has any role in the NFL, unless it's as some type of h-back or something. Doesn't have an NFL arm, I don't think. Not enough velocity and his motion's too slow.
If you don't pressure the pocket, and you don't cover the receivers, there are a lot of good HS pocket passers that would be successful.
Taking nothing away from Klein, because he cleaned our clock, but that defensive strategy is atrocious.
He's from my home town. His little bro is also on the roster. Receiver I think.
He does look good this year. Great system for him. I'm not sure that translates to the pros. He is intelligent and very coachable so who knows.
I'm pulling for him. Possible Heisman?

Made some creamed honey in 500 g jars in dec. set up well BUT there is a lot of white at the top and in streaks thru some of the jar. Are these just bubbles? Is that why people but them in plastic? So you dont see the streaks? just not really pretty.
It seems to be gritty to the tongue,and is a little hard to spread, is it possible that the creamed honey is crystalizing more and making it so hard and gritty. We used a cream honey from the store (local honey)
What is a good way to reliquidify a lot of jars!
When it is so much work, why do people seem to sell it for the same price as liquid honey?

How a standard, off-the-shelf control system helped an EPA facility earn a LEED Gold rating
According to a Spanish proverb, it takes much silver to find gold. This saying holds true if what you seek is a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold rating—except, in this case, the silver you invest is engineering expertise. The May issue of HPAC Engineering contained an article on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Region VII Science and Technology Center in Kansas City, Kan.,1 which was awarded LEED Gold certification in 2003.

i guess i'm just lucky, there have been bees on my property for the last five winters and there have been zero winter losses.
2008 4 hives
2009 6 hives
2010 4 hives (two summer losses after beekeeper died, both absconds from shb/moth infestation)
2011 10 hives (no summer or winter losses)
2012 17 hives (two summer losses, one laying worker and one varroa), i know we are not to april yet, but it looks like all 17 are gonna make it. and if they do, it will be five consecutive winters with zero losses.
i do insulate the top and have vents up there, but that's about it.
sol, thanks for the link to beeinformed.org
i scoured that whole site after you first bumped the thread this fall, good stuff.
and i have signed up to participate in next year's survey.
for me, surveys are surveys, no more, no less.
when it comes to information that has some real meat on the bones, something i can readily use in my operation, i have gleaned more useful and practical information by the shared testimonials here on beesource.

The Modern Language Association (MLA) format is used for English and Foreign Language papers. The MLA format is divided into three categories for easier access.
General Format
The paper should be typed in 12-pt font, double-spaced, with one-inch margins all around. For short essays (around three pages), put identifying information at the top of the first page, left alignment, and center the title.
For longer or more formal compositions, or if instructed to do so by your professor, you may want to use a title page. It should include the same information. The title will be centered horizontally and vertically on the page. All identifying information will then go on the bottom of the page, right alignment. (Also, there is no header or page number on the title page.)

Handling Quotations In Your Text
With each quotation, the author's name and page number must be used in the text.
For example:
If you mention the name of the author in the sentence then only the page is necessary in the citation.
Harry Winston states that "all gemstones are not created equal" (116).
If you do not mention the authors name then you must include it in the citation.
Many argue that "all gemstones are not created equal" (Winston 116).
A short quote is considered fewer than four lines of prose or three lines of
verse from your text:
According to many, "the use of gemstones in popular jewelry has tripled in the last five years" (Winston 225).
Notice the period comes after the citation. Periods, commas, and semicolons follow the general rule of appearing after the citation. Question marks and exclamation points appear after the citation only if they are a part of your text but included if they are part of the quoted passage:
"Real men don't wear jewelry!" (Winston 167).
A quotation longer than four typed lines must be started on a new line,
indented one inch from the margin. Maintain double-spacing. Here, the
punctuation comes before the citation.
Hemmingway is famous for his short, concise sentences, illustrated in the following example taken from Dr. Valentini's dialogue in A Farewell to Arms:
Let me see the plates. Yes. Yes. That's it. You look healthy as a goat. Who's the pretty girl? Is she your girl? I thought so. Isn't this a bloody war? How does that feel? You are a fine boy. I'll make you better than new. Does that hurt? You bet it hurts. How they love to hurt you, these doctors. What have they done for you so far? Can't that girl talk Italian? She should learn. What a lovely girl.... (99)Back to Top
Works Cited
The works you have cited in your text should be listed on a separate page in
the following general format with a hanging indent:
Author, A. Title of Book. Place of publication: Company Name, Year. (Web or Print.)
The following example also includes an editor:
Conrad, Joseph. Heart of Darkness. Ed. Robert Kimbrough. New York: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1988. 7 - 76. Print.

The Glaswegian Glory Hole is a variant of The Glory Hole, and is not limited to the city of Glasgow, it can be enjoyed the world over. Partakers in this special kind of sexual activity place their penis into a Pot Noodle (or other suitable foodstuff) and make their way down the street pushing their cock into neighbours letterboxes. More often than not this is rewarded by a very appreciative canine who will proceed to enjoy the Pot Noodle coated phallus whilst sexually peasuring the participant. This practice is not limited to men as by carefully placing a spoonful of Pot Noodle into the vagina ladies can position themselves against a neighbours letterbox quite easily with the help of a small brick to step on and appreciate hours of "licky dog" stimulation.

Troy office buildings sell for $19.4 million
A New York City-based real estate investment trust has more than doubled the size of its Troy office portfolio with the $19.4 million purchase of two buildings totaling 184,000 square feet last week.
It's one of the largest office deals in metro Detroit so far this year.
Johns Creek, Ga.-based Piedmont Office Realty Trust Inc. sold the buildings to New York-based Sovereign Partners LLC, said Bill Harvey, senior vice president of office brokerage in the Farmington Hills office of Chicago-based Transwestern Investment Co., which represented Piedmont.
Sovereign's new 77,000-square-foot building at 4685 Investment Dr., south of West Long Lake and west of Crooks, sold for $11 million, according to Washington, D.C.-based real estate information service CoStar Group Inc. Piedmont bought the building in August for $10 million, according to a company property investment activity report current through March 31.
The Class A building was built in 2000 and is fully leased to Continental Automotive Systems Inc., according to CoStar, which did not list lease fee information.
The second building, a 107,000-square-foot Class B building at 1441 W. Long Lake Road, between Coolidge and Crooks, sold for $8.4 million.
The Long Lake Road building is 84 percent leased. The largest tenants are Travelers Insurance Co. (28,000 square feet); Rockwell Automation Inc. (25,000 square feet) and Integrated Design Solutions LLC (16,000 square feet). The average rent is $18.75 per square foot, according to CoStar.
The building was built in 1999 to be leased to Delphi Corp.
Both buildings were built by Denver-based The Pauls Corp.
The deal is one of the largest office purchases, in terms of price, in metro Detroit so far this year. In February, the three-building, 223,000-square-foot Northeast Corporate Center office complex in Ann Arbor sold to Ann Arbor-based Oxford Cos. LLC for $21.5 million.
Sovereign also owns the 171,000-square-foot Long Lake Crossings office building at 1301 W. Long Lake between Coolidge Highway and Crooks Road. Sovereign bought that building in 2009 from Chicago-based Pearlmark Real Estate Partners LLC for $12.3 million, according to CoStar.
Piedmont also owns the 493,000-square-foot building at 150 W. Jefferson Ave. in Detroit, and two buildings in Auburn Hills: the 120,000-square-foot Auburn Hills Corporate Center at 900 N. Squirrel Rd. and the 210,000-square-foot building at 1075 W. Entrance Drive.
The company owns 20.5 million square feet of office space in 17 markets across the U.S. Its portfolio is valued at $5.2 billion, according to a Piedmont corporate brochure.

Margus Hunt did not visit the Giants, he said, but team did call him to make sure they have his information and cell correct.
Art Stapleton @art_stapleton
Mississippi St CB Darius Slay on #NYG interest: Theyve been calling me lately. I think they like me a lot, think Im pretty hot for them
Art Stapleton Art Stapleton @art_stapleton
Missouri DT Sheldon Richardson says he hasnt sensed much interest from #NYG. They called me to get my draft day info, but thats about it
Art Stapleton @art_stapleton
Bjoern Werner sure sounded a lot like a guy who would be surprised if the #NYG took him at 19. Doesnt mean they wont, of course.
The following are rumors from Tony Pauline. Most is already known though.
- Colorados Nick Kasa has developed into the contingency plan for teams looking to draft a tight end outside the initial three rounds of the draft. Unlike the higher rated players at the position, Kasa does not offer immediate starting possibilities but is a sensational developmental prospect expected to be plucked off the board in round four. The New York Giants, Seattle Seahawks, Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins have displayed heavy interest in Kasa.
Right now the top suitors for Tank Carradine/FSU are Miami Dolphins (12), NY Giants (19) Minnesota Vikings (23 & 25), Falcons in mix
DJ Fluker/T/Alabama has visits set up with the Minnesota Vikings, St Louis Rams & Tampa Bay Bucs this week...NY Giants very coy thus far..
Alonzo Tweedy/S/Virginia Tech has worked out for the New England Patriots and will be traveling to see the New York Giants next week...
Another athletic offensive lineman receiving praise in war rooms is Vinston Painter of Virginia Tech.Painter turned in a terrific senior campaign after breaking into the starting line-up then performed brilliantly at the combine.Painters forty times (average of 4.96 electronic) were solid as was his ten split (fastest of 1.70 hand timed).His vertical jump in Indianapolis of 30.5-inches was bettered by just three offensive linemen.How early could Painter be selected?We presently have him rated as a potential 4th rounder in our updated rankings though I am told the third frame is not out of the question.Painter has been on visits to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions, New York Giants, Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Cincinnati Bengals.
And if you want a look at our visits then take a look at this thread.
Notable names though are Warmack and Te'o for official visits. Khaseem Greene also had a local visit with us. Be wary about visits though as Pauline again says "Im told the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants are two teams who may not bring their first round pick into town for an official visit." If you want recent history, JPP was the only 1st rounder that Reese visited. However in the later rounds, guys like Manningham and Jacquian Williams were visited by the Giants. So take this FWIW.

these guys should be available for us when we pick at 19:
Damontre Moore DE
Jarvis Jones OLB
Johnathan Hankins DT
Dion Jordan 3-4 OLB
Manti Te'o MLB
Eric Reid S
Xavier Rhodes CB
Alec Ogletree OLB
Datone Jones DE
D.J. Fluker RT
Tyler Eifert TE
Cornelius Carradine DE
why get 1 of those at 19 when we can get 2 of them (maybe 3 after 2 rounds with a trade down)?
Our needs:
T- the 3 best tackles will be out before our pick. The value for a T will not be there at 19 (round 2 Pugh, Watson possibilities)
CB- Outside Xavier Rhodes, the value will not be there at 19 for CB (plus the draft is deep at CB) Round 3-4
MLB- no value at ALL at 19... at pick 25+ yes Te'o or Minter.
DE- Moore at 19 nah... Carradine nah... Jones nah...
without a trade down I would pick Xavier Rhodes
with a trade down I would get BPA at those positions (DE-CB-T-LB)
