Science is often portrayed as a kind of tennis match between theory
and experiment. This description is nowhere more apt than in the
study of a physical constant known as the g factor of the
electron and the muon. For more than 50 years g has been
batted back and forth by theorists and experimenters striving always
to append another decimal place to the known value. The game depends
on having well-matched players on either side of the net, so that
what's predicted theoretically can be checked experimentally. In
this case the players are very good indeed. The g factor of
the electron has been both calculated and measured so finely that
the uncertainty is only a few parts per trillion. The current
experimental value is 2.0023193043718 ± 0.0000000000075.
Measuring a property of matter with such extraordinary precision is
a labor of years; a single experiment could well occupy the better
part of a scientific career. It's not always appreciated that
theoretical calculations at this level of accuracy are also arduous
and career-consuming. Getting to the next decimal place is not
back-of-the-envelope work. It calls for care and patience and for
mastery of specialized mathematical methods. These days it also
requires significant computer resources for both algebraic and
numerical calculations. Only a few groups of workers worldwide have
the necessary expertise. My own role in this tennis game is purely
that of a spectator, but I have been watching the ball bounce for
some time, and I would like to give a brief account of the game from
a fan's point of view, emphasizing the action on the theoretical
side of the net.
The study of g is not just an exercise in accumulating
decimal places for their own sake. The g factor represents
an important test for fundamental theories of the forces of nature.
So far, theory and experiment are in excellent agreement on the
g factor of the electron. But for the muon—the
heavier sibling of the electron—the situation is not so clear.
Calculations and measurements of the muon g factor have not
yet reached the precision of the electron results, but already there
are hints of possible discrepancies. Those hints could be early
signs of "new physics." Or they could be signs that we
don't understand the old physics as well as we think we do.
The naive mental picture of an electron is a blob of mass and
electric charge, spinning on its axis like a tiny planet. If we take
this image seriously, the moving charge on the spinning particle's
surface has to be regarded as an electric current, which ought to
generate a magnetic field. The g factor (also known as the
gyromagnetic ratio) is the constant that determines how much
magnetic field arises from a given amount of charge, mass and spin.
The formula is:
where µ is the magnetic moment, e the electric
charge, m the mass and s the spin angular momentum
(all expressed in appropriate units). Early experimental evidence
suggested that the numerical value of g is approximately 2.
In the 1920s P. A. M. Dirac created a new and not-so-naive theory of
electrons in which g was no longer just an arbitrary
constant to be measured experimentally; instead, the value of
g was specified directly by the theory. For an electron in
total isolation, Dirac calculated that g is exactly 2. We
now know that this result was slightly off the mark; g is
greater than 2 by roughly one part in a thousand. And yet Dirac's
mathematics was not wrong. The source of the error is that no
electron is ever truly alone; even in a perfect vacuum, an electron
is wrapped in a halo of particles and antiparticles, which are
continually being emitted and absorbed, created and annihilated.
Interactions with these "virtual" particles alter various
properties of the electron, including the g factor.
Methods for accurately calculating g were devised in the
1940s as part of a thorough overhaul of the theory of
electrons—a theory called quantum electrodynamics, or QED.
That the calculation of g can be honed to such a razor edge
of precision is something of a fluke. The mass, charge and magnetic
moment of the electron are known only to much lower accuracy; so how
can g, which is defined in terms of these quantities, be
pinned down more closely? The answer is that g is a
dimensionless ratio, calculated and measured in such a way that
uncertainties in all those other factors cancel out.
Experimental measurements of g benefit from another fortunate
circumstance. The experiments can be arranged to determine not
g itself but the difference between g and 2; thus
the measurements have come to be known as "g minus 2
experiments." Because g–2 is only about a
thousandth of g, the measurement gains three decimal places
of precision for free.
Bottled Electrons
One good way to measure g is to capture an electron and
keep it in a bottle formed out of electric and magnetic fields. In
confinement, the electron executes an elegant dance of twirls and
pirouettes. The various modes of motion are quantized, meaning that
only certain discrete energy states are possible. In some of these
states the electron's intrinsic magnetic moment is oriented parallel
to the external magnetic field, and in other states it is
antiparallel. The energy difference between two such states is
proportional to g. Thus a direct approach to determining
g is simply to measure the energy of a
"spin-flip" transition between parallel and antiparallel states.
The drawback of this straightforward experimental design is that you
cannot know g with any greater accuracy than you know the
strength of the external field. A clever trick sidesteps this
problem: Measure the energies of two transitions, both of which
depend on the magnetic field but only one of which involves a spin
flip. For the non-flip transition, the constant of proportionality
that sets the energy scale is exactly 2, whereas for the spin-flip
transition the constant is g. Taking the ratio of the two
energies eliminates dependence on the strength of the field.
Experiments with isolated electrons were pioneered by Hans Dehmelt
of the University of Washington, who kept them penned up for weeks
at a time—long enough that some of them were given names, like
family pets. Although the technique may sound simple in its
principles, getting results accurate to 11 significant figures is
not a project for a high school science fair.
In the case of the muon, measuring g is even more challenging. The
muon is an unstable particle, with a lifetime of a few microseconds,
and so keeping a pet muon in a cage is not an option. The best muon
g–2 measurements come from a 20-year-long experiment
designated E821, carried out at the Brookhaven National Laboratory
by workers from 11 institutions. Clouds of muons with their spins
aligned circulate in a toroidal vacuum chamber immersed in a strong
magnetic field. The apparatus is adjusted so that if g were
exactly 2, the particles would complete each orbit with the same
orientation they had at the outset. But because g differs
from 2, the spin axis precesses slowly, drifting about 0.8 degree on
each circuit of the ring. When a muon decays, it emits an electron
preferentially in the direction of the spin axis. The spatial
distribution of these electrons reveals the rate of precession and
thus the value of g–2.
The latest value of the muon g factor reported by the E821
group works out to 2.0023318416 ± 0.0000000012. This number
differs from the electron g factor in the fifth decimal
place, and its precision is only at the parts-per-billion level
rather than parts-per-trillion. Despite the lesser precision,
however, the confrontation between theory and experiment turns out
to be more dramatic in the case of the muon.
Calculating g from theoretical principles might seem to be
far easier than measuring it experimentally. After all, the theorist
can leave behind all the messy imperfections of the physical world
and operate in an abstract realm where vacuums and magnetic fields
are always ideal, and no one ever spills coffee on the control
panel. But theory has challenges of its own, and in the saga of the
g factor, 20-year-long experiments are matched by
30-year-long calculations.
What needs to be calculated is the strength of a charged particle's
interaction with a magnetic field. The problem can be phrased in
terms of something directly observable: Given a particle of known
mass, charge and momentum, and a magnetic field of known intensity,
how much will the particle's path be deflected when it passes
through the field? Classical physics envisions magnetic lines of
flux that induce a curvature in the particle's trajectory. Quantum
electrodynamics takes a different approach. Instead of a field
exerting its influence throughout a volume of space, QED posits a
discrete, localized "scattering event," where an electron
either emits or absorbs a photon (the quantum of the electromagnetic
field); the recoil from this emission or absorption alters the
electron's own motion.
A key tool for understanding such scattering events is the
diagrammatic method introduced in the 1940s by Richard P. Feynman. A
Feynman diagram plots position in space along one axis and time
along another, so that a particle moving with constant velocity is
represented by an oblique straight line. The Feynman diagram for a
simple scattering event might have an electron moving diagonally
until it collides with a photon coming from the opposite direction;
at this "vertex" of the diagram the photon disappears and
the electron reverses course.
There is more to a Feynman diagram, however, than just a spacetime
depiction of particles colliding like billiard balls. As a matter of
fact, in QED a particle cannot be assigned a unique, definite
trajectory; all you can calculate is the probability that the
particle will make its way from point A to point B. A Feynman
diagram represents an entire family of possible trajectories,
corresponding to collisions taking place at various positions and
times. Each such trajectory has an associated "amplitude";
adding all the amplitudes and squaring the result yields the
probability for the overall process.
The simplest scattering event—one electron bouncing off one
photon—was the process considered by Dirac in his first
computation of g in the 1920s. As noted above, Dirac got an
exact result of g=2. The reason this value needs correcting
is that the simplest, one-photon scattering process is not the only
way for an electron to get from point A to point B. The direct route
may well be the most important path, but in QED you dare not ignore
detours or distractions along the way.
One such distraction is for the electron to emit a photon and then
reabsorb it, somewhat like a child throwing a ball in the air and
running to catch it herself. The evanescent photon is called a
virtual particle, because it can never be detected directly, but its
effects on g are certainly real. Adding a virtual photon to the
Feynman diagram is easy enough—it forms a loop, diverging from
and then rejoining the electron path—but computing the
photon's effect on g is more difficult. The problem is that
the virtual photon can have unlimited energy. For an accurate
computation, you have to add up the amplitudes associated with every
possible energy—and without an upper limit, this sum comes out
infinite. These implausibly infinite answers stymied the further
development of QED for two decades.
The solution was a trick called renormalization, worked out by
Feynman, Julian Schwinger, Sin-Itiro Tomonaga and Freeman Dyson. In
1947 Schwinger finally succeeded in calculating the contribution of
a single virtual-photon loop to the g factor of the
electron. The answer was given in terms of another fundamental
constant of nature, known as ,
which measures the electric charge of the electron and has a
numerical value of about 1/137. Schwinger showed that the one-loop
contribution to the "anomalous magnetic moment" of the
electron is /2π, or
approximately 0.00116. The anomalous magnetic moment is defined as
one-half of g–2, and so the corrected value of
g comes out to about 2.00232.
If an electron can get away with spontaneously tossing around a
virtual photon, what's to stop it from juggling two or three of
them? Nothing at all: A Feynman diagram decorated with a single
photon loop can just as well be festooned with two loops.
Furthermore, it turns out there are seven distinct two-loop diagrams
(see Figure 3).
Drawing the seven two-loop Feynman diagrams is actually the easy
part of understanding their effect; the hard part is calculating
each diagram's contribution to the value of g. The
mathematical expression associated with a diagram takes the form of
an integral, summing up the amplitudes of an infinite family of
particle paths. Some of the two-loop integrals are complicated, and
early attempts to evaluate them went astray; the task was not
completed until 1957. The result is again expressed in terms of
α, but—reflecting the much lower probability of a
two-loop event—the α term is now squared. And it is
multiplied by a curious coefficient that combines various rational
fractions, logarithms and the Riemann zeta function—this last
item being familiar in number theory but an exotic interloper in physics.
What comes next is no surprise: If two loops are good, three must
be better. However, for an electron-photon event with three loops
there are 72 Feynman diagrams, representing integrals of daunting
difficulty (see Figure 4). When work on evaluating those
integrals got under way in the 1960s, it soon became clear that the
methods of pencil-and-paper algebra had reached their limits. In
this way Feynman-diagram calculations became a major impetus to the
development of computer-algebra systems—programs that can
manipulate and simplify symbolic expressions.
Despite such computational power tools, some of the three-loop
diagrams resisted analytic solution for 30 years. To fill in the
gaps, physicists tried numerical methods of evaluating the
integrals—an even more computer-intensive task. A simple
example of numerical integration is estimating the area of a
geometric figure by randomly throwing darts at it and counting the
hits and misses. The same basic idea can be applied to a Feynman
integral, but the object being measured is now a complicated volume
in a high-dimensional space; this makes the dart-throwing process
painfully inefficient. Merely deciding whether or not a dart has hit
the target becomes time-consuming. It was not until 1995 that a
reliable, high-precision value of the three-loop contribution was
published, by Toichiro Kinoshita of Cornell University. He evaluated
all 72 diagrams numerically, comparing and combining his results
with analytic values that were then known for 67 of the diagrams. A
year later the last few diagrams were solved analytically by Stefano
Laporta and Ettore Remiddi of the University of Bologna.
The three-loop correction is proportional to
3, which makes its order of magnitude less than one part
per million. Even so, to match the precision of the experimental
measurement it's necessary to go on to the four-loop diagrams, of
which there are 891. Attacking all those intricately tangled
diagrams by analytic methods is hopeless for now. Numerical
computations have been under way since the early 1980s. A
thousandfold increase in the computer time invested in the task has
brought a thirtyfold improvement in precision—but the best
results still amount to only a few significant digits.
The Muon's Story
The electron and the muon are twins (or triplets, since there is a
third sibling called the tau). The only apparent difference between
them is mass, the muon being 200 times as heavy. But mass matters
mightily in the calculation of g. Because certain effects
are proportional to the square of the mass, they are enhanced 40,000
times in the muon. As a result, the muon g factor depends
not just on electromagnetic interactions but also on manifestations
of the weak and the strong nuclear forces. The virtual particles
that appear in muon Feynman diagrams include the usual photons and
electrons and also heavier objects such as the W and Z (quanta of
the weak force) and the strongly interacting particles known
collectively as hadrons.
A theoretical framework called the Standard Model extends the ideas
of QED to the strong and weak forces. Unfortunately, however, the
theory does not always allow high-precision calculations from first
principles in the way QED does. The strong-force contributions have
to be computed on a more empirical basis; in effect, even the
theoretical value of the muon g factor is based in part on
experimental findings.
The muon g factor has attracted much attention lately
because the theoretical and experimental values seem to be
diverging. The latest measurements from the E821 group differ from
accepted theoretical values by roughly two standard deviations.
Physicists have not been reticent about speculating on the possible
meaning of this discrepancy, suggesting it could be our first
glimpse of physics beyond the Standard Model. Perhaps the muon is
not truly an elementary particle but has some kind of substructure?
Another popular notion is supersymmetry, which predicts that all
particles have shadowy "superpartners," with names such as
selectrons, smuons and photinos.
One of these adventurous interpretations of the muon results could
well turn out to be true. On the other hand, it seems prudent to
keep in mind that the g-factor experiments and calculations are
fearfully difficult, and it's always possible an error has crept in
somewhere along the way. It would not be the first time. Feynman, in
his book QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter, tells
the story of an early computation of the two-loop electron
g factor:
It took two 'independent' groups of physicists two
years to calculate this next term, and then another year to find out
there was a mistake—experimenters had measured the value to be
slightly different, and it looked for a while that the theory didn't
agree with experiment for the first time, but no: it was a mistake
in arithmetic. How could two groups make the same mistake? It turns
out that near the end of the calculation the two groups compared
notes and ironed out the differences between their calculations, so
they were not really independent.
The story has been re-enacted more recently. In the mid-1990s two
groups independently calculated a small, troublesome contribution to
the muon g factor called hadronic light-by-light
scattering. Kinoshita's group and a European collaboration of Johan
Bijnens, Elisabetta Pallante and Joaquím Prades got
compatible results. Then, six years later, Marc Knecht and Andreas
Nyffeler recalculated the effect by another method and came up with
an answer that was the same in magnitude but opposite in sign. The
other groups rechecked their work, and both found they had made
essentially the same mistake entering formulas into a
computer-algebra program. The correction slightly diminished the
disagreement between theory and experiment.
In mentioning such incidents, my aim is certainly not to embarrass
the participants. They are working far out on the frontier of
computational science, where no maps or signposts show the way. But
for that very reason a certain amount of caution is in order when
evaluating the results.
A definitive understanding of the muon g factor will have
to await further refinements of both the experimental and the
theoretical values. Incremental improvements can be expected soon,
but major advances may be some time in coming. On the experimental
side, the E821 project has been shut down by the Department of
Energy, at least for the time being. As for theory, the next major
stage will require serious attention to the five-loop Feynman
diagrams. There are 12,672 of those. Don't hold your breath.

One NFL evaluator told Pro Football Weekly that he could see South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore (knee surgeries) going undrafted in April.
PFW's quote-filled quickie column doesn't specify the NFL evaluator's title, but it's either a coach, scout, or front-office man. "Lattimore is tall and a little narrow-hipped," said the evaluator. "He is tough and the kind of kid you root for, but I thought he was a third-rounder before the injury. Now I dont know if he gets drafted." After returning from a 2011 knee injury, Lattimore looked like a shell of his old self before going down again in 2012. No one knows if he'll ever regain pre-injury form, making Lattimore a complete tossup 2013 draft prospect
I posted a thread about the Giants track record to justify taking a chance on Lattimore in the 4th! Basically I said that since our draft picks past the 4th haven't been productive under Reese. It would be worth picking Lattimore in the 4th.
I think Wreh-Wilson is a complete DB, I hope he falls to us in the 3rd. But I think that JR might make some moves to give us more picks this year to where we can take Wreh-Wilson in the second.
That will be in my complete draft in a few weeks.

Reggie Dunn KR
*First mock draft i have ever attempted* I am hoping its alright and people would be happy with the selections
I don't think FO will touch Ogletree. I think Brown is a better player anyway, he has stronger intangibles, and he isn't a punk. Fluker probably wont fall to us in the second. But we will see! afterall it is a contest.

Very nice apartment. Looks exactly like in pictures. Good location. Few stops with the metro to taksim and around 15 minutes with the bus to kabataš.
Definitely to recommend.
We stayed 7 nights. It's close to 4 levent metro station. (just 7 minutes walk)
For the first time finding it isn't easy so I recommend print the location on Istanbul map to show to the driver.
Taksim is 5 stops away if you want to go there by metro.
Flats are very modern and clean with nice view from windows. There are many shops and restaurants nearby. In the street that 4 levent metro station is, you can find good cloth shops.
I recommend this flat for its cleanness and price but if you have someone old in your family/ group I don't recommend this flat, because this flat is located on hill and there are many ups and downs when you walk to go there.
This was a good flat equipped with all basics. We stayed here for 6 weeks with a 1-year old child. For 2 of the weeks, we had a visitor. The flat was comfortable to live in with 3+1 people. We cooked a lot and washed a lot of laundry using the equipment in the flat. The area was calm, and there was little noise in the evenings and nights. There were several supermarkets, boutiques and shopping centers in this area also. Getting around in Istanbul from here was easy using the nearby metro (4. Levent) and bus stations. There was a taxi station close to the metro station as well.
Osman answered all of our pre-booking and pre-trip questions and queries in a fast, clear and friendly manner. During the stay, he also replied fast to SMSs in English. His friendly staff helped, fixed issues in the apartment, and arranged other things in Turkish on-site. On the way from the airport, Osman instructed the taxi driver on the phone for how to get to the apartment. Osman also arranged a bed for our child, and acquired a high chair on our request.
Being informed by Osman, we knew to expect having to carry our baby trolley about two floors of stairs up or down every time we went out or in, as the entrance of the building is down from the street level. From the building entrance, we got easily to the 4th-floor flat using the elevator. We stored the baby trolley at ground floor.
I had forwarded my paper mail to this flat during the trip, and it was delivered without any problems.
I take one star off the 5-star maximum due to the humidity and mold in the bathroom. The bathroom was as well equipped as everything else in the flat, but mold was an issue. Upon arrival, we noticed green fungus in the shower cabin wall, but we just wiped it off. After a couple of days, it was back there, so possibly it came from inside the wall. We didn't mind, as wiping it off once a week and leaving the door open after showering seemed to keep things in order. However, after heavy rainfall, the situation was different. The rain somehow caused a heavy, unhealthy mold smell in the bathroom for two days after it stopped. This happened twice during our stay, and for those times, we had to keep the bathroom door closed in order to have fresh air in the rest of the apartment. During those days, spending even a short while in the bathroom was unpleasant.
Overall, a good stay in a well equipped flat in a peaceful area. Osman and his staff provide great service with a good attitude.
Nice appartment in a quiet residential neighborhood of Istanbul. Within a 10 minute walk you'll find a main subway line to the city centre. Thanks Osman for your help and warm welcome!
Everything was as good as it was before when i hired the flat last summer beside the low water pressure and rapid fluctuations between cold and hot water. The flat was fine and clean with those ordinary utensils u need. Thanks
Osman takes extremely good care of his guests and is very helpful.
Everything was as described. Thank you Mr Osman.
The flat was what was depicted on the site with those necessities you need, Osman was friendly and helpful. We were three and the flat was good enough for us.Nothing to complain about.
hi .. we were 6 people and we stayed 10 days, we enjoyed alot
very nice and clean very clean apartment.. and host was also good man helpful...
nice location and in 5 minutes walking you can find big shopping mall and markets,,,,tha you
Very good appartement, clean. Nice host. It was near the metro and taxi. Little store on the corner of the street, with Nice owner where we bought our warm bread every morning.

I looked at it. It's interesting. You have a very narrow bottom. I don't think I've seen one that narrow.
>I used scrap wood so the cost was "free". The cover will be one of those plastic ridged panels (like you see as skylights in some barns or metal shop buildings.
I wonder how the bees will respond to all the light? Maybe your bars are solid without notches? Then they wouldn't get much, but it will still incite them to do more of sealing the cracks between the bars when they see light.
>The angled sides are 22 deg off the verticle and the top bars are 19" long (so they will fit in a lang box if needed). It will hold 30 top bars and the 'follower board' in a snug fit (but I still will use the plastic cover for additional protection against the rain and sun).
All of the early top bar hives I built I went about 22 degrees also. I've given up an decided to just go with perpendicular sides. I haven't had them long enough to know what I think. Partly I wanted interchanability between Langs and the top bars. I agree with making it the same width for that reason.
Be sure you let us know what you love and hate about it after you get to use it.

Amid assaults on press, Uganda police promise reforms
Joseph Mutebi, a photojournalist for the popular vernacular state-owned daily Bukedde, spent his afternoon trying to file a complaint with the police in the capital, Kampala. "First they told me the officer who assaulted me was based at another station, so I went there and now they are telling me he is based at the police station where I originally went. So I am confused. I think they are just playing with me." Mutebi's case is not uncommon--both in terms of the constant threat journalists face from Uganda's police force and the challenges they encounter trying to file a complaint.

The armed forces, whether military or paramilitary, are not a defining factor of a coup d'état.

Where I stayed
The next day we took a walk down to Denny's and then further down the strip. We stopped off at the Fashion Show Mall as I was melting in the heat. It was very close, it wasn't muggy or a dry heat but very hard to walk in
Since we got home at about 3am we slept in a bit the next day. After sorting ourselves out with breakfast we printed off our David Copperfield tickets for that night and decided to do a bit more shopping at the Stratosphere
Las Vegas is such a fun city. We had a great time and didn't spent too much money considering what you could do. We would head back again without thinking about it.

Lesley expressive therapies expertise being applied at global disaster scenes to aid healing of children and other survivors.
Tuesday, August 05, 2014
So, in mid-August, Dr. Vivien Marcow Speiser, director of Lesley University's Institute for Arts and Health and International and Collaborative Programs, will head to South Korea. There, she and Lesley expressive art therapy alumnus Aviel Hadari will lead several days of disaster-relief training for groups of clergy and clinicians who will be working with people who have been directly affected by the April 16 sinking of the Sewol ferry off the island of Jindo in South Korea. That incident resulted in the deaths of more than 300 people. The two are undertaking the trip in conjunction with the Israel-based relief organization IsraAID.
According to Marcow Speiser, who won the 2014 Distinguished Fellows Award from the Global Alliance for Arts & Health, the training focuses on practical tools needed to aid the process of coping, as well as help prevent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the community.
"The word 'Lesley' has become synonymous with creative learning approaches that integrate the arts," she says, adding that this outreach to South Korea is consistent with the university's mission to assist under-served populations. The relief effort is also consistent with the Jewish notion of "tikkun olam" or the repair of the world, she adds.
Throughout her career, Marcow Speiser has used the arts as a way of communicating across borders and cultures, and she believes in the power of the arts to create the conditions for personal and social change. As a founder and past director of the Arts Institute Project in Israel, she has been influential in the development of expressive arts therapy in that country.
In an effort to "boost the individual and community resilience" in South Korea, she and Hadari will be applying this sort of expertise to their work with clergy members and therapists there.
"We'll use the usual toolbox," she says, referring to movement and drama activities, musical instruments, scarves, paper and markers, and possibly a parachute. "We want to give the participants a variety of tools that they use."
Marcow Speiser explains that this sort of therapy is a "body-based approach," where a scarf can come to symbolize a safe space for a survivor of trauma, particularly a child. "You can do the same thing with tape on the floor," she says.
Similarly, a parachute can be used to help multiple trauma survivors at once, as they move together, gripping it simultaneously, run in a circle, shake it or make it billow overhead. The idea is to get people working together in an exercise to foster community-building, communication, trust and, eventually, healing.
"All children's games function in the same way," she says. "Little, simple games like red light-green light" can be used in the healing process. "Anybody who's been affected by trauma tends to freeze up, and these games can help undo that harmful process."
Trauma stays with you, even on an unconscious level, no matter what age you are when it happens, Marcow Speiser adds.
"To almost every American you could say, 'Where were you on Sept. 11?' These traumatic events get locked in our bodies," she says. "When the stories begin to come out, you begin to find that people connect directly to it."
Storytelling builds resilience, she says. Resilience is the ability to cope with stress and anxiety in an adverse situation. It is the ability to recover from adversity. She adds that the telling of stories and the expression of personal narratives through a wide variety of art forms to a community of witnesses can be a powerful tool for individuals working through difficult experiences.

OPM Contact: Murray M. Meeker
The claimant, an employee with the [agency], requests credit for his prior military service in the determination of his leave accrual rate and for reduction in force purposes. For the reasons discussed herein, the claimant's request that his prior military service be included in determining his leave accrual rate is denied except for the period prior to the effective date of his military retirement. The claimant's request that he receive credit for his prior military service for reduction in force purposes is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
As reported by the claimant, he was appointed to his civilian position with [agency] effective May 31, 1994, while on terminal leave(1) from the [previous agency] prior to the effective date of his military retirement on August 1, 1994.
Although Congress has limited the circumstances under which military retirees may receive credit for their military service in the computation of their leave accrual rates, these limitations do not apply to individuals who have not retired from military service at the time of their appointments to civilian positions. See the Dual Compensation Act, Pub. L. No. 88-448, ' 203, 5 U.S.C. ' 6303(a). It is well established that an individual placed on terminal leave is on active military duty and is not in a retired status. See Major James D. Dunn, B-251084, October 12, 1993; 56 Comp. Gen. 855 (1977); and 45 Comp. Gen. 180 (1965). Accordingly, the claimant is entitled to credit for his military service in determining his leave accrual rate during the period of his civilian employment prior to August 1, 1994, the effective date of his military retirement. After
that date, he no longer may use his military service to enhance his leave accrual rate.
Because the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM's) jurisdiction in reviewing claims is limited to claims for compensation and leave, OPM lacks jurisdiction to determine if the claimant's military service is creditable for reduction in force purposes. See 31 U.S.C. ' 3702.
This settlement is final. No further administrative review is available within OPM. Nothing in this settlement limits the employee's right to bring an action in an appropriate United States District Court.
1. As explained by the United States Court of Claims, terminal leave is "a leave of absence granted an officer at the end of his period of military services; a permission to be absent from duty." Terry v. United States, 120 Ct. Cl. 315 (1951). Prior to 1945, under the leave laws then in effect, leave of up to 60 days without deduction from pay and allowances could be taken by Army officers at the discretion of the Secretary of War. 56 Comp. Gen. 855 (1977).

I like the 5 door
-----------------how does it stay so small and skinny when it has single handedly eaten all those fat muscle cars?"I don't want the world, I only want what I deserve!"
I like them both especialy the 5 door if it didnt have the roof rack. I really wis hit was a 2 speed manul though to add to the fuel economy and performance.
Eww..the front of hatch looks like prev gen Elantra Touring.
I can't really say that I have a strong opinion either way. They look about what you would expect a Subaru to look like - function without much style. nothing eye grabbing but nothing offensive either.If they really are able to get 36 mpg on the highway my opinion will go up considerably.
Looking at the video and seeing the concept and production model in the same angle, it looks like the Impreza took a lot more ques from the concept than I first thought, somehow though it still seems slightly bland.I like the interior a lot though, simple and to my taste.I would lie though if I said I was looking forward to the base Impreza at all, the only reason I (and many of my friends) are interested in the Impreza is to get a little taste of what the next WRX and STi will be like

******************Awarded Best Troll Statement for 2011
Fantastic. They somehow managed to take the current Impreza and make it MORE vanilla looking. Is this the new Impreza design or last generation Hyundai?
====================Injecting common sense, one post at a time.
ill save my opinion for the WRX and STI
_____________________First trip to the drag strip. 13.02 @ 112Personal Best: 12.7 @ 111 (95 F heat)
Chintzy interior, small navigation screen, and the body of a Legacy. Is Subaru in financial trouble?
Reading about the car, it sounds like a very good product. Subaru's AWD, <3000lb, 36mpg, decent feature set and quality, etc. However, I can't get over the atrocious styling. Such a shame that a good car can be ruined by poor design.
Actually, I sort of like it. I guess the dynamics target was a Mazda 3. AWD and 36mpg sounds interesting.
There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today, and something wrong with our bloody system as well.
Funny. This time around the five door looks good and the sedan looks all wrong. I like the new front end. Doesn't look like an older Chrysler ripoff.
=================================No, Brian, it's a foreign car, the "T" is silent. Sweet, I'm getting an Audi!
okay...gotta admit...I really like them...I hope Subaru integrates the GPS in a better way though....it looks like it was an after thought...besides that, nothing to complain!...

Hef's Movie Notes - Bonnie and Clyde
Hugh Hefner screens the romanticized retelling of the life and death of a pair of Depression Era desperadoes.
Tonight: Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, with Gene Hackman, Michael J. Pollard and Estelle Parsons in the four-star classic Bonnie and Clyde.
This romanticized retelling of the life and death of a pair of Depression-era desperadoes was one of the truly definitive films of the 1960s.
America's longstanding love affair with its outlaws dates back to Jesse James and Billy the Kid.
The outlaws of the 1930s—Dillinger, "Baby Face" Nelson, "Pretty Boy" Floyd and Bonnie and Clyde—enjoyed a similar celebrity.
No film was more successful in capturing the romanticized mystique of the American bandit as an alienated outsider than this one.
It was director Arthur Penn's most successful film, in a career that began in TV and theatre in the 1950s. His first film, The Left Handed Gun, was an offbeat retelling of the tale of Billy the Kid with Paul Newman in 1958. The film was enthusiastically received in Europe, but largely ignored in America.
Returning to Broadway, Penn had great success with The Miracle Worker (1959) and Toys in the Attic (1960).
He finally returned to films with the movie version of Miracle Worker (1962), which won Academy Awards for both Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke.
In 1963, Penn was given the opportunity to direct the American-French-Italian co-production of The Train. But he was replaced by John Frankenheimer after the first few days of filming.
Penn's next feature was a relatively obscure, but fascinating film titled Mickey One (1965), starring Warren Beatty.
It was made in Chicago.
That's when I first met Warren.
We discovered we had a lot in common.
I let him use the Chicago Mansion and Playmate Donna Michelle in the movie—and we became friends.
Warren's film career had begun with Splendor in the Grass with Natalie Wood in 1961. After five films, including The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961), All Fall Down (1962), Lilith (1964) and Mickey One (1965), Warren was a highly regarded actor, but not a major star.
That's when David Newman and Robert Benton, writer-editors at Esquire, brought him their screenplay of Bonnie and Clyde. They had created Esquire's "Dubious Achievement Awards," but they had never written a screenplay before.
They were fans of Hitchcock and French New Wave directors Truffaut and Godard. They had grown up on B-westerns and country-western music.
Benton's father had actually attended the funerals of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker in 1934.
Newman and Benton had successfully co-authored a Broadway play, It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman, but Hollywood wasn't interested in their story of Bonnie and Clyde.
It was Truffaut who mentioned the screenplay to Warren, when he was in Paris with Leslie Caron. Warren loved the screenplay. He took it to Warner Bros. He would star, he said, but he also wanted to produce the film. Warner Bros. reluctantly agreed. In the uncertain 1960s, the studios would agree to almost anything.
Warren wanted Penn to direct.
The trade papers announced the news on May 9, 1966. The same press release carried the news that Beatty's production company had also acquired screen rights to a comedy written by Robert Towne about a Hollywood hair stylist titled Keith's My Name, Hair's My Game. When he finally made the movie in 1975, he called it Shampoo.
Beatty took Towne on location to Texas to act as script doctor on Bonnie and Clyde. He's credited as "Special Consultant."
Jack Warner was less than enthusiastic about this project. On September 19, 1966, he dictated a memo after reading the Bonnie and Clyde script: "I can't understand where the entertainment value is in this story. Who wants to see the rise and fall of a couple of rats?! Am sorry I didn't read this screenplay before I said yes. … This era went out with Cagney!"
Penn was then completing a promising film at Columbia with an impressive cast—Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda and Robert Redford in The Chase—that would prove to be a turkey.
With these less than promising credentials and an unknown cast, Warren and Penn produced and directed what would prove to be one of the most successful Warner Bros. films to date!
They had trouble casting the role of Bonnie. "We offered the part to Tuesday Weld," Penn recalled. But her husband objected. Warren had a reputation for seducing his leading ladies, which may have been behind the husband's reservation. Warren had already broken up the marriages of two of his previous co-stars—Natalie Wood and Leslie Caron.
"Warren suggested Natalie Wood," Penn recalled, "but I said no. I didn't want a movie star. We talked about Jane Fonda, but she seemed too sophisticated."
"We'd been turned down by about ten women," Beatty said. "I wanted Natalie, Jane, Tuesday, Sharon Tate, Ann-Margret, and then I met Faye Dunaway."
Beatty had great casting instincts. He was in Lilith with Gene Hackman and wanted him for a key role in Bonnie and Clyde. He saw Gene Wilder in a play and picked him for a small part. Wilder had never been in a film before.
Michael J. Pollard was a longtime friend of Beatty's. "My first instinct was to cast Dennis Hopper," Beatty said. "But Michael was really the one." The role in question had been written as a football player who was a sexual partner to both Bonnie and Clyde. The script called for a menage-a-trois.
Beatty told the boys from Esquire, "No, I'm not playing a homosexual." So they rewrote it with a different sexual aberration, making him impotent.
Beatty and Dunaway had no off-screen romance. She said they had an understanding that "any kind of romance would be a distraction."
To relieve the tension during shooting, Dunaway and Pollard performed Lenny Bruce routines. Dunaway had been romantically involved with Lenny.
Bonnie's mother in the film was played by a non-actor. She was a schoolteacher standing on the sidelines, watching the shooting, when Warren and Penn picked her out of the crowd to play the part.
The film was budgeted at $1.6 million, and then increased to $1.8 million. Beatty received a $200,000 salary. He also owned 30 percent of the picture.
Beatty screened a rough cut of the picture at Jack Warner's house. After the lights came up, Warner said, "How long was that movie?" Someone answered, "It's two hours and 15 minutes, Colonel." And Warner shouted, "Well, that's the longest fucking two hours and 15 minutes I've ever spent!"
Beatty tried to pacify Warner. "We regard it as an homage to the old Warner Bros. gangster movies," he said. Warner snarled in response, "What's a fucking homage?!"
Completed on January 9, 1967, the final negative cost escalated to $2,536,000. Screened for the trades on August 7, it opened in L.A. on August 23, 1967 to mixed reviews.
After the initial response, Warner Bros. actually contemplated dumping the film. It was Warren who personally campaigned for the film and convinced the studio to get behind the picture. Critics, who had initially dismissed the film as too violent, now embraced it.
And so did the public.
Time and Newsweek both did something unprecedented for the news magazines. They ran second reviews that said that their first reviews were wrong!
Bonnie and Clyde was nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actors (both Hackman and Pollard), Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design.
Estelle Parsons won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and the film won for Best Cinematography.
The picture was a blockbuster! The worldwide gross was $22,862,000—the second largest grossing Warner Bros. film in history.
Bonnie and Clyde earned a net profit of $16,300,000—an unprecedented 636 percent return on investment.
The picture earned Beatty $6,300,000 and Penn $2,100,000 for their participation.
The film also had a major influence on films that followed, including Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch and Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather.
So now, from 1967, Bonnie and Clyde.

A driver best known for a spectacular 2010 crash at Bathurst appears ready to make an impact on the 2013 V8 Supercars championship after back-to-back victories at Albert Park yesterday.
Before the V8 exhibition round at the Australian Grand Prix, Fabian Coulthard had never claimed a pole position, race win or top-10 season finish in the category.
His biggest claim to fame was emerging unscathed from a scary 290km/h crash at Mt Panorama three years ago, rolling his vehicle six times.
But Coulthard looks set to do some damage on the V8 series after consecutive wins yesterday.
Starting on pole for the second straight race, Coulthard finished more than two seconds ahead of series leader Craig Lowndes with the Kiwi's Brad Jones Racing teammate Jason Bright third.
However, Lowndes faces an anxious wait as officials investigate a pit-lane incident between the Holden driver and Bright.
No championship points are up for grabs in Melbourne but Coulthard is earning something just as important ahead of the next official round at Tasmania's Symmons Plains in early April - a psychological edge.
Coulthard's Commodore comes from the same makers of Holden team Triple Eight Red Bull, home of four-time driver's champion Jamie Whincup and 2013 series leader Lowndes.
And Coulthard made it clear Triple Eight won't be having it all their own way by winning an intriguing duel with Lowndes in race two.

Fact Sheet Series 2005 - Adult Basic and Literacy Education
|MS Word (532 KB)
The OVAE Fact Sheet Series highlights efforts currently underway at the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) to support the principles of the President's No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The principle(s) supported by this effort are:
- Increase Accountability and Academic Achievement
- Focus on What Works
Recent Bureau of Labor Statistics projections indicate that 70 percent of the fastest-growing jobs will require education beyond high school and that 40 percent of all new jobs will require at least an associate's degree. Employers are seeking employees who are proficient in math and reading, and who can solve problems, work in teams, and communicate effectively. In order to meet the demands of today's workplace, adult learners not only require access to basic education programs, but also admission to community college certificate and degree programs.
The primary focus of the Adult Education Community College Transitions Project is to identify programs, practices, and policies that successfully facilitate transitions from adult basic education to community college certificate and degree programs. The scope of work includes a review of the literature to help establish criteria that will guide the selection of promising programs. A wide range of transition programs will be reviewed; a number will be selected for detailed case studies. Both the initial review of programs and the case studies will include the characteristics of promising programs and the collection and analysis of enrollment and outcome measures. Berkeley Policy Associates will execute this project.
Outcomes and Products
- Final report including findings from the literature review and a series of case studies
- National symposium for practitioners and policymakers on project findings

Ray and Chandler are the best alley-oop combo in the league.. would have guessed Paul and Griffin..
Melo is dirrrty..
Love me some Melo.
Just wish the other guys could get going..
Melo is taking over.. THis would be monsterus victory in my opinion.. Biggest WIN of the yr type stuff..
Damn Felton..
Our bench was awful.
just got back from the game.... i'm really worried about our offense. how does melo drop 40+ yet we don't score over 90? the clippers are not a good defensive team either. imagine if melo had an off game? we would have lost by 30+
To be honest , Novak better start finding a productive niche for us, because hes starting to get close to no minutes and his fairy tale run coming to a end...
Kidds timely shooting has gone out the window, and JR Smith has been super hot and cold and getting more stupid with his shot selection,w hcih obviously is hard to do..
Amare has been solid offensivley, but almost unbearable to watch defensivley.. Watched the game with a bunch of knick fans, and i swear Amare was the brunt of many angry replys because of his defense...
I'll also say Mike Woodson made some ridiculous blunders yesterday.. Starting the 4th qter with Novak and Stoudamire on the court and no Melo or Felton was stupid and got us into a defecit we coulden't get outta a.. Obviously the defense was beyond atrosius in that time frame, because Melo and Amare have no clue defensivley, but also in a game only MELO was playing well offensivley, u had no choice but to start the 4th and see if u could keep that hot hand.. I knew once i seen Melo and Felton on the bench that the leads was gonna go way up and it surley did...
THe clippers are at the end of a very long road trip no less, and still pretty much lead start to finish on us.... As soon as we made it close , it was like they said "ok, lets beat these guys now" and simply did.. Like i said, we look like a middle of the pack, nothing special east conf playoff team right now.. Thats simply gotta change...

for APCNews) - While the Indian government attempts to include gender
on the official agenda in traditional sectors like health and
education, gender within the technology sphere is a relatively new
concept in India and one that government officials are just not ready
to take seriously. They are not convinced by recent findings on the
disempowerment of women into rural e-governance in Chhattisgarh,
India's poorest state, and this has been a challenge for lead
researcher Dr. Anupama Saxena, a political scientist. Saxena tells
APCNews about the struggle to be taken seriously and how the GEM, APC's
Gender Evaluation Methodology (GEM), has given her the credibility and
confidence to tackle policy makers head-on. More
(Kelechi Michaels for Fantsuam Foundation) - Last year, rural
non-profit the Fantsuam Foundation trained almost six hundred locals in
computing to improve their livelihoods – but only one was a person with
physical disabilities. Now incorporating JAWS – a Job Access With
Speech screen reader – Fantsuam will open their basic and advanced
computer skills classes to people who can't see. More
(APC for APCNews) - For four days from March 31, fifteen women gathered
at the Feminist Tech Exchange in the Brazzaville (Congo) Digital
Campus. Participants and trainers alike came from human and
women's rights organisations, the media and politics to learn more
about how to use technology to end violence against women and girls.
APC member Azur Développement was involved in putting on the event
which talked about the hows and whys of blogging, using video, audio
and mobile phones, as well as social networking. The FTX is a part of

My son is the youngest of three Razor scooter fans in the neighborhood. The other two boys are taller, a little more dexterous, and a lot more daring on their scooters, but I can totally see the day coming when Decker will be joining the daredevils in some parental-cringe-inducing maneuvers. (I can also totally see his first visit to the ER on the horizon, but he's got a long way to go to catch up to my 86 total lifetime stitches.)
He loves his scooter, and unfortunately the weather has just been too extreme in Atlanta for him and his friends to get outside in the afternoon. That leaves the evening when the sun goes down. And that's the perfect time for him to pull out of the garage with his new Fuze Light Stripers installed. Yes, the other boys may enjoy showing off some jumps and other antics, but they're going to have a hard time taking their eyes off D's green scooter now.
Each Fuze Light Striper has seven feet of neon-like wire that is flexible and very bright. Push the On button once and you get a solid lighting effect. Another push of the button and you get an On-Off-On-Off blinking effect with a half-second or so frequency. One more push and the blinking effect goes into a super-speed flash sequence. One more push turns it off. Decker prefers that last, super-speedy flashing effect. Go figure.

About Me
I'm just getting into ceramics again after 35 years. This summer, my very supportive husband and I converted an old chicken coop into a ceramic studio. We found a used Skutt kiln in good shape and bought a Shimpo Whisper wheel, which I love. My throwing skills are coming back and I'm really learning alot from the Ceramic Arts Daily videos. My next big hurdle is figuring out glazes.

The Sycamore Lawnmower Brigade is gearing up once again to perform its complex formations while pushing a variety of mowers in Wednesday's Fourth of July parade. This year, in keeping with the parade's theme, A Salute to Our Veterans, the mowers will feature "American's most famous veteran" pushing a special mower. And who might that be? If I told you, I'd have to kill you, so you'd better go to the parade and see for yourself.

Yes, the parade committee allows the lawn mowers, but refused to allow our pink plastic flamingoes in the parade. Somehow, such flamingoes as part of the Professor Harold Hill Memorial All-Kazoo Orchestra and Marching Polka Band was determined to frighten children.
Well, I should say!

Currently have a bumper crop of drone brood in my hives and would like to remove the larvae and use for bluegill bait.
I can pick them out of the cells with a toothpick (anybody know a better way?) but don't know how to keep them. I would assume they go bad in an hour or so in summer heat plus would prefer some instruction/links on long term preserving so I can be supplied this fall and maybe in the spring.

President Nicholas Sarkozy addressing the American Jewish Congress reiterated his stand against allowing Iran to possess an atomic bomb, but he also indicated "I believe that Arab countries including Iran have a right to civilian nuclear power." The French president denounced anti-Semitism in France and emphasized that the existence of Israel as a Jewish state is "non-negotiable." Sarkozy said Muslims in France enjoy complete religious freedom and hoped that Muslim nations would reciprocate by providing such protection to those who are not of the Muslim faith. Meanwhile, Premier Prodi visiting in Saudi Arabia warned against taking military action against Iran arguing, "in addition to not solving the problem, it would open new destablizing scenarios in the whole region."
IN his desire to ingratiate himself with the American Jewish community, President Sarkozy made a blunder when he said Israel was a Jewish state. About 15% of the Israeli population is Muslim and they even elect representatives to parliament.

Thank you Shortrnd!
How many people are building 1919 for their winter project? I will be building 2 in the next month or so. I'm trying to get all the Colorado people together for a build party.
Are there parts that you guys need? Let me know and I'll get something cooked up for ya.
Alright shortrnd, I've dragged my feet long enough.
I'm ready to order a kit, hook me up.
Ok here is a link to the 1919 parts kits. Just send in your MO and Gary will ship it ASAP.
Go to the active group buys and you will see that there are KMP trigger and sears as well as the linker for the metal links. We also have a group buy on the machining of the internals. If you need a tripod you can take a look at the Russian 1910 Maxim parts kits group buy. It comes complete with the Sokolov wheeled mount and shield. The 1919 mounts to the Sokolov without any modification. A 1919 tripod will run you more than what the entire Maxim parts kit runs.
You will need a semi right hand side plate as well. I will see when our next group buy will be on those.
I Just recieved my kit last week.. man i will say even in pieces it looks like a mean piece..... found some one to mill my bolt and other inside parts at a really good price. do to the fact i dont have a mill yet...I have built a few other guns in the past and looking at this its doesnt look hard at all... Cant wait to be the first on the block with one of these... next will be a tripod..
Badger Bob has a sale on his economy tripods over on 1919a4.com. I just got one for $150 plus shipping and for an "economy" tripod, it is great. I haven't seen his M2 reproductions but I've heard they are great.
He does very good work. Some pics would be great.

3-Day Forecast
It's mosquito season again, and with all the recent rain in the Cincinnati area, it could be worse than ever this summer.
With concerns about West Nile Virus, many of us are afraid to use our back decks anymore.
Sure, you can cover yourself from head to toe with bug spray, but what if you want to get mosquitoes out of your yard, for good?
Wants to Take His Yard Back
Butch Reed has a yard full of mosquitoes at his Clermont County, Ohio, home and like a lot of homeowners, he wants to take his yard back.
"You can see the woods back there, particularly in the wooded area, you get a lot of mosquitos. And we just want to be able to enjoy our yard," Reed said.
So he decided to fight back. Reed ordered a $29 insect trap he saw advertised online called "My Mosquito Deleter."
The box states," The eggs go in and they don't come out."
"When they lay their eggs the eggs are supposed to fall down into the bottom," he said. "And they can't get out because of the design of the baffles."
Spray Products Popular
While we were waiting to see the results of the mosquito trap, we stopped at ACE hardware, which sells dozens of mosquito products from bug spray and citronella candles to smoking coils you place outside.
ACE manager John Doucleff says any spray you cover yourself with that contains DEET is effective. Concerned about the safety of DEET? Try out Avon's Skin so Soft, sold by Avon distributors, that many people swear by.
But Doucleff tells me he prefers backyard sprays -- such as those from Off and Cutter -- that you use a few hours before a cookout.
He also suggests a simple solution for patios: Set up a fan, because mosquitos don't like wind.
"If you notice," Doucleff said, "on a windy day you don't get bit as much."
More wind means fewer mosquitoes.
More Permanent Solutions
But what if you want to get rid of mosquitoes permanently, not just for a few hours?
We went to one of the country's top bug experts, entomologist Dr. Gene Kritsky, of Cincinnati's College of Mt. St. Joseph.
Dr Kritsky -- who enjoyed international fame a few years ago as a top Cicada expert -- says the most important thing is to eliminate stagnant water.
"If you have a big heavy rainstorm followed by a heatwave, where the lows don't get below 71 for a week, you will get thousands of new mosquitoes from that event," Kristky said.
Check Flower Pots, Gutters
You might say, "I don't have any standing water in my yard, I don't have a pond nearby." But look more closely. You might have a flower pot, and that's a perfect breeding ground."
"Check your gutters, check flower pots and if you have a bird bath, empty it once a week and put new water in," Kritsky said.
Tops Rated Traps
But if eliminating water still leaves your yard buggy, Consumer Reports Magazine suggests a mosquito trap.
Its top rated trap is the Mosquito Magnet that lures the bugs with carbon dioxide generated by a propane tank. It costs between $300 and $700, depending on model.
Others that generate carbon dioxide also work, the magazine says.
On a budget? The magazine says cheaper traps that don't generate gas can have some effectiveness, which brings us back to Butch Reed.
After just a week, he found some mosquito larvae in his $29 Mosquito Deleter, indicating mosquitoes had laid their eggs in it.
"It seems to be working," he said.
Reed hasn't yet won the war, but butch says the Mosquito Deleter seems to be an effective start, by capturing their eggs before they hatch. (Consumer Reports magazine has not tested it, however.)
The Bottom Line
Dr Kritsky says citronella candles and other smoking devices only work in very small areas, such as on a patio table.
For a yard full of bugs, he suggests, do the following three things:
1. Dry out all water, including gutters and flower pots.
2. Use an area spray, such as those from Cutter and Off. The versions you mount on a garden hose cover more area than aerosol cans.
3. As a last resort, purchase a trap. More expensive units that generate carbon dioxide do the best job, according to Consumer Reports.
That way you'll cut down your backyard mosquitos and you don't waste your money.
As always, don't waste your money.

I saw that with the command: Code: mailq | grep [email protected] I'll have the value for the field 1, 2 for 2, etc... The problem is coming for the "sender/recipient", that is actually on 2 lines: Code: 9BBF287C66 2827 Tue Dec 15 09:47:31 [email protected][email protected] so the result of the command Code: mailq | grep [email protected] will be just the sender...

Im in on that
Ian & Irwin, you sure you live up in Canada, your sounding more American to me.
Irwin, yes, I used to weld in my early days it comes in handy when building syrup tanks,wax tanks, pollen sub blending tanks & so on. I have been lucky to have gotten these gifts.

Our bees were flying yesterday, and, it looks like the hazelnuts are gong to start anytime now. A couple of the hives are brooding seriously, I peeked inside on monday. If this weather keeps up, we will have supers on for the maples, and carving out some splits, before you guys are taking them out of the shed.

I don't think Jerry Jones is stupid, but I do feel he makes more stupid decisions than most GMs.
I like the overall message in the sign but those were some of the most annoying looking Cowboys fans I've ever seen. Is that what you guys deal with in NY?
Their reaction to the pick was embarrassing. I'm still not enamored with the pick but it was hardly a bad one.
I was absolutely shocked they didnt go safety with that pick. Elam, Cyprien would of been a much better pick IMO. Then get that center in round 2.
Spin that Webb young Davis
In the end I think Frederick will be a starter for the next few years, maybe even his career and that seems to be worth the late 1st rounder.
The only thing that disappointed me was the lack of value that we got in return for trading back. But in the end, I guess I can't complain too much about getting the combination Frederick and Terrance Williams in return.
Overall it just didn't seem like a tactful draft, but it seems like we may have gotten some solid contributors. Only time will tell.
