Birtwistle, Carter, Del Tredici and Shepherd Performed at Tanglewood Festival of Contemporary Music(June 2012)
Festival of Contemporary Music part of Tanglewood's 75th summer season
The Tanglewood Festival, celebrating its 75th season, will showcase four Boosey & Hawkes composers at its annual Festival of Contemporary Music. Each of the four composers to be featured — Harrison Birtwistle, Elliott Carter, David Del Tredici and Sean Shepherd — represent unique artistic styles of the 20th and 21st century. The Festival of the Contemporary Music, led by Festival Director Oliver Knussen, runs August 9-13, 2012.
Three works by esteemed British composer Harrison Birtwistle will be presented, including his ensemble piece Cantus Iambeus (2004) on the opening concert, Dinah and Nick's Love Song for three melody instruments and harp (1970), and the full orchestra work Sonance Severance 2000, which references Cleveland's Severance Hall where the work was premiered.
In honor of Elliott Carter's centenary in 2008, the Festival of Contemporary Music presented a major showcase of his music, and presents another new work this summer. One of ten new works by the composer premiered since the start of 2011, Double Trio has already been hailed as "one of Carter's most brilliant creations" (New York Review of Books).
David Del Tredici, also celebrating a 75th birthday this year, will see two works presented at this year's festival. The first is Soliloquoy (1958) a work for piano which was his first professional composition. Displaying his more familiar neo-romantic style and focus on the Alice in Wonderland books by Lewis Carroll is Happy Voices (1980), a work for orchestra that stems from the larger Child Alice Part II. Happy Voices is performed on the festival's final program.
The music of Sean Shepherd will be performed at the festival for the time in 2012, with two recent works on display. On the concert's opening program is Shepherd's sinfonietta size work These Particular Circumstances (2010), a work recently led by Knussen with the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group in May 2012. Shepherd's Quartet for Oboe and Strings (2011), premiered last year at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, is performed as well.

I am a brand new beekeeper. I live on a farm in south Texas and my step-father bought one deep hive (before I got down here) about a year ago. He has not checked or monitored it yet, so I am taking on the roll of beekeeper. Recently, I read "Beekeeping for Dummies," and now feel like I am ready to at least give the hive a peak to see if they are healthy.
As of now we only have one deep hive.....I know that this is not ideal, etc., etc. I am working on that and will rectify it in the near future with another deep hive and some supers.
Today I went to open the hive for the first time. I want to make sure they are healthy and with a queen since they have not been monitored to this point. When I took the inner cover off I realized that there were only 9 frames and that the bees apparently built a natural comb where the tenth frame was supposed to be. Nearly all of the bees were all over this natural comb, WHICH WAS STUCK TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE INNER COVER. By the time I realized that this comb was stuck to the inner cover and covered in bees, the comb broke off and fell with a jostle down into the "empty" slot it occupies. Needless to say, the bees were then quite upset with me. I tried to fool around in there for another minute or two to check some of the actual frames and the bees were getting more and more aggravated. Then I decided that I would give them some reprieve and close their house back up. They were very unhappy. So my question is this:
How do I get that natural comb out of there without destroying anything or hurting myself? I really want to check on them and make sure they are doing okay...and get that comb out and slide a tenth frame in there so that this does not happen again. Any advice? It would be much appreciated.

Are you looking for a Biotech internship? Biotech internships are the best way to bridge the gap between going to school and landing great job. Internships can help you develop your Biotech experience by learning the ropes from more experienced professionals. At the end of your internship, you'll have relevant experience to help you decide if a career in Biotech is the right choice for you.
Biotech summer internships are pretty common, but don't expect to be in charge at the end of your internship! Usually, you'll have to work from the bottom up, but interns are much more likely to get a job offer from the employer they're interning with. If you decide to intern at a smaller company, you'll sacrifice the name prestige for other benefits, such as having an opportunity to see your projects go from start to finish. Experience in Biotech is the key to offering value and creativity to the team.

Jamming by babycam
"A WiFi camera, operating on channel 1, is streaming video. When I switch on an analogue, wireless babycam, you see a strong signal appearing near channel 9 (watch the SPECTRAL VIEW of the Wi-Spy spectrum analyzer, e.g. the window in the upper-left corner). After some time, I switch the babycam to a channel near channel 1 of the WiFi camera. Now the transmission of the babycam jams the transmission of the WiFi camera, and we lose connectivity.
Powering off the babycam restores the WiFi connection."
The blog entry includes a link to a video demonstrating the attack, illustrating the danger and ease of a layer 1 attacks.

The main hazards to correct binary counting are those perilous Hamming cliffs. A tiny misstep—if it happens to come as a string of 1s rolls over to 0s—can put you over the edge. Engineers long ago confronted this problem in other contexts. For example, when encoding the angular position of a shaft as a binary number, the slightest misalignment can cause large uncertainty at a Hamming cliff. The standard remedy is an alternative to the ordinary binary numbers called a Gray code, which replaces the cliffs with gentler slopes.
Gray codes are named for Frank Gray, who was a physicist at Bell Telephone Laboratories in the 1950s and '60s, but the idea actually goes back to Emile Baudot, the French pioneer of the telegraph. The basic principle is to arrange the counting numbers in a sequence where each transition alters only one bit. For example, here is a three-bit Gray code: 000, 001, 011, 010, 110, 111, 101, 100. Note that all eight three-bit patterns appear in the sequence, and that each number differs from its neighbors at just one bit position. Many such codes exist, although the one shown here—called the reflected Gray code—is the most common.
Could Gray codes improve the accuracy of counting? At first, the idea seems promising: A missed event would set the count back by only one step, as in the unary Peano counter. But it's important to look at the internal details of a Gray-code counter. How does the counter generate the correct permutation of the binary numerals? For a shaft encoder, the sequence would be calculated in advance and permanently engraved in the hardware, but that's not a realistic option for a counter of larger capacity.
As it turns out, the obvious way to generate the reflected Gray code is to use an ordinary binary counter as an auxiliary. The position of the rightmost 1 bit in the auxiliary marks which bit should change next in the Gray code. But this implementation of the counter can hardly improve its error performance. At best, the Gray-code counter will inherit all the flaws of the binary counter. What's worse, when the binary and the Gray-code patterns get out of synch, the counter tends to go off on wild zigzag or crenelated trajectories. It can even start counting backwards. The behavior of the machine is fascinating, but it has little to do with the concept of counting.
I have looked for other ways to implement a reflected Gray-code counter, but the schemes I have tried turn out to be functionally equivalent to the auxiliary-counter method, and they suffer from the same error catastrophes. Of course it's entirely possible there's a clever method I've missed, or perhaps some Gray code other than the reflected one solves the problem.
Coding theory offers many other strategies for reducing error. The simplest device is a "parity bit," an extra bit that keeps track of whether the number of 1s in a binary number is odd or even. A parity check would combine particularly well with a Gray-code counter, because the number of 1s in a Gray code must alternate between odd and even. A 1990 report prepared for the Federal Election Commission recommends that ballot-counting machines be equipped with parity bits or other error-detecting devices.

Atoderm Nutritive Cream is a decent mineral oil–based moisturizer that feels extremely emollient and contains a varied assortment of creamy ingredients, plant-based fatty acids for repair, and water-binding agents. Its heavy texture makes it best for dry skin, and the lack of fragrance or fragrant plants makes it suitable for sensitive skin, too—including skin with rosacea.
This missed our top rating because it has only a small amount of anti-irritants and too few skin-repairing agents to significantly improve sensitive skin, but it's still worth considering.
Strengths: Bioderma provides complete product ingredient lists on their site; some very good, fragrance-free facial cleansers; every sunscreen provides sufficient broad-spectrum protection, and most are fragrance-free; a few good mattifying products for oily skin; great prices.
Weaknesses: The endless array of moisturizers are ordinary; the claims don't match what the formulas can actually do; repetitive sunscreen formulas; many of the sunscreens contain a potentially problematic amount of denatured alcohol; disappointing lightening products lacking ingredients that can lighten brown spots; the bronzing SPF products encourage tanning.
Bioderma is a European brand based in France and sold in 70 countries around the world, which explains why we get so many requests to review the brand!
According to information on their website, the team at Bioderma has been collaborating with dermatologists and "renowned international research centers" for over 20 years, all to bring you products that are "the most frequently prescribed by French dermatologists." Sounds impressive, but the proof is in the products, not the posturing!
Because Bioderma sells skin-care products, not pharmaceutical drug products, there's no "prescribing" involved—anyone can easily obtain Bioderma products, in stores or online, no doctor visit needed. The fact that French dermatologists recommend these products isn't proof of anything; lots of dermatologists around the world recommend products with problematic ingredients, sometimes because they simply don't know any better or are just as susceptible to the hype as anyone else, and sometimes because they are paid by the company to promote their products.
The Bioderma range is huge, but also hugely repetitive. Few brands offer as many cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens as Bioderma, yet the onslaught creates a lot of confusion, and the differences between many of these formulas are subtle to indistinguishable. There are some good products, but overall the formulas are lackluster. When shopping this line, you really have to choose carefully and not get too hung up on the various names and claims because often virtually the same product formula comes with different benefits on the label, again and again. And again.
Many people with sensitive skin ask us about Bioderma, perhaps because the company frequently mentions that their products are hypoallergenic. That term—"hypoallergenic"— is misleading, as explained below.
There are no accepted testing methods, ingredient restrictions, regulations, guidelines, rules, or procedures of any kind, anywhere in the world, for determining whether or not a product qualifies as being hypoallergenic. So, any company can label any product "hypoallergenic" because there is no regulation that says they can't, no matter what so-called evidence they may use to make their point—and what proof can they provide given there is no standard against which to measure?
Given that there are no regulations governing hypoallergenic products, we know there are plenty of products labeled "hypoallergenic" that actually contain problematic ingredients and that can indeed trigger allergic reactions, even for those with no previous history of skin sensitivity—and that's certainly true for many Bioderma products. We wish that weren't the case, but the word "hypoallergenic" gives you no reliable understanding of what you are or aren't putting on your skin (Sources: www.fda.gov; Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, May 2004, pages 325–327; and Ostomy and Wound Management, March 2003, pages 20–21).
That being said, we applaud Bioderma for avoiding the use of known sensitizing ingredients like peppermint, lavender, menthol, and all types of citrus, which unfortunately are rampant in the world of skin care. Many Bioderma products are also fragrance-free and in that sense are absolutely worth a look, whether sensitive skin is an issue or not. (Fragrance-free is best for all skin types.)
Despite the huge number of products, there are some surprising holes in the Bioderma line. For example, this isn't a line to shop if you're struggling with breakouts, there are no effective AHA or BHA exfoliants, the skin-lightening products have drawbacks that don't make them worth considering over better options, and you won't find advanced anti-aging formulations of any kind. You're in luck if you want lots of choices in cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens, but as mentioned above, there's a lot to wade through, and much of it is repetitive. We're all for brands offering choices for different skin types, concerns, and textures (such as gel versus lotion), but Bioderma's range simply isn't as varied as it is large. A large mix of relatively wishy-washy formulations is really not a plus for your skin.

Re: May 2013 Suggestions!
Ok I've been getting nostalgic for cartoons I grew up with. Then I got thinking one of those would do great as a public space, personal space, pet, game, clothes well u get the point. That been said I think a "Digimon" them would do good on home a fun. They can have 5 updates for it with each one being a different season of "Digimon". I mean it takes place in a virtual world and i think it is perfect for home
Re: May 2013 Suggestions!
so i sat and thought of a pretty neat idea for PlayStation Home. i know there are places that offer limited fishing, but what about public space that has a huge lake and you can ride boats to fish with friends. my idea also includes a private space and a clubhouse on a big lake with a boat you can operate and fish. a fishing experience like no other, various rods,reels, and lures. catfish,largemouths, bass,crapie. hope sony looks at this. what better than fishing with a friend?
Re: May 2013 Suggestions!
Re: May 2013 Suggestions![ Edited ]
Remember to +Kudos if you like it!
Bold = Highly wanted.**
Strike = Previous suggestion that is now in Home! Thanks devs!**
☆ A spooky, haunted hospital personal/clubhouse space equipped with patient rooms and an operating room with the quality of Cutteridge Estate. (Inspiration can be taken from real life haunted hospitals or games like Silent Hill/Fatal Frame/Siren)
☆ An interative Mannequin decoration that can be dressed in outfits you've purchased.
☆ An interactive game on Home where friends can visit and help with whatever. Similiar set up to the social Facebook games but you don't need 'tons' of friends to get certain upgrades. They just 'help'. Interactiveness and replayability are key. Key themes could be gardening, farminglulz, or even monster creation(?).
☆ An interactive hack and slash RPG with synced multiplay. CRAFTABLE weapons, RARE monsters, Unique weapon/class types! NO BUY TO WIN. Only buy to play.
☆ A clubhouse/apt of a Victorian Gothic Dollhouse similiar to the Toy Story space.Where if you look outside the dollhouse it's a larger room.(That you can also run around in.)
☆ More Accessory Slot items.(Hairbows, Mini Lolita Crowns & Top Hats etc)
☆ Giant Lollipops for our "HAND" slot
☆ Rose Eyepatches
☆Here's some misc. images of clothing to take inspiration from.
☆Customizable mythological/anthro creature full body outfits, makeup colors designating the colors of certain areas. (Skin, spots) Similiar to the Konami futuristic gladiator outfits and (..also a good marketing tool for PS Plus..)
Core Related
☆ NEW default skin colors..■■■■■■■
☆ Graphical update to eyelashes, also giving more eyelash options.
☆ Graphical update to the skeleton of our avatar giving us more body options. Currently we can only be short/tall, fat/skinny. Example: Hip, Bust, Muscle options.AND even more height options.

Co-op "Lost Levels"[ Edited ]
WATCH IN 720p/1080p
I have been working on this video for a VERY long time.
It's a compilation of levels that could've or perhaps should've been added to Uncharted 3.
This is how they'll look had they been made (Obviously a lot better)
The vid features cameo appearances by my "Tournamentees" as a thank you and tribute to them for competing in my Tourney.
The video is based mainly on Co-op Survival and Adventure and also features some new medals.
Co-op Survival Levels
As you can see in the vid some Survival levels feature Descendants as well as 2/3 types of Guardians. There is also a level that features Uncharted 2 enemies (Lazarevic's Soldiers) as well as 2 types of Guardians.
This level could've been a 3 way Co-op battle, you and your friends VS Lazerevic's Soldiers VS Guardians
The new medals featured are:
- Back To Sleep, for killing Descendants in a Row with 1 shot
- Guardian Angel, for removing/shooting a Guardian off your friend
There could obviously be more medals added.
Also note how you get more cash for killing Guardians, $200 per kill.
There is also a very unique Survival mode at the beginning which is also kinda like a Siege mode.
The enemies attack you from their boats then they intrude your boat from say round 5 onwards.
Co-op Adventure Levels
There are some cool "could've been" Adventure levels featured in the vid.
One being a stealthy Museum Heist level and the other carrying Jeff level. Not forgetting the last water level too, which could've included swimming at some point.
Also notice how the Speedboat and Truck level shows BOTH players getting the same cash.
One player controls the vehicle whilst the other takes out enemies.
Both could switch roles during cutscenes.
Heroes and Villains
There's nothing wrong with teaming up with a villain and it would be fun as seen in the vid where Drake is teaming up with Flynn and Eddy. This could've been implemented.
This "project" was mainly created to show fans as well as ND how Co-op WOULD'VE looked like.
I hope ND can see the potential and add some of these things for Uncharted 4
On another note:
Thanks to Fadi002 for the sound files, check out his Channel for more:
Re: Co-op "Lost Levels"
Re: Co-op "Lost Levels"
other than the boat seeming like a permanant siege zone and the vehicle levels bringing the oppurtunity for trolls, this looks pretty awesome.
Would love the oppurtunity for stealth levels and fighting some monsters other than the bullet sponges we have now.

text: It's not surprising Tessa & Scott don't have a PR firm or a big deal website. Skating in North America is not what it was in the 1990's. And if SC doesn't require twitter, I don't see why they would tweet. But I do hope they will at least post their schedule on this new website, which would be a nice thing for their fans. Yes, Meryl & Charlie get asked if they are a couple. I think it is the only question most non-skate fans interviewers can think to ask Check out the last interview from D/W, promoting US Nationals. They got the question, again, gave an answer about why having a relationship and trying to compete together is a bad idea for any couple. I don't think they have a PR firm. They have an agent though. They do have facebook & Twitter, but I think USFS makes them do it-it gets linked on the icenetwork Twitter feed, so it is semi official. ice-dance.com has their official website, which is pretty schematic, but at least shows their schedule. Maybe some dancers with huge money in the family (Isabelle Tobias maybe?) have a PR and a really hot website, but not most. Back in the day, Tara Lipinsky had a PR firm when she was in Juniors-but that was then; this is now.

Backup Camera Regulation Expected to be Completed Dec 31

The rearview camera mandate would make it so every vehicle would have a backup camera for seeing behind the vehicle when in reverse
After many delays, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is ready to begin finalizing regulation for
rearview cameras in all vehicles
DOT Secretary Ray LaHood said he is meeting with White House officials to finalize the regulations by December 31.
We have a meeting with the White House about this in the next few days so I hope that they see the importance of this the way we do," LaHood said.
The rearview camera mandate would make it so every vehicle would have a backup camera for seeing behind the vehicle when in reverse. The idea was triggered by the 300 deaths and 16,000 injuries annually caused by a driver's inability to see behind their vehicle when backing up.
Many of the injuries and death affect young children and senior citizens.
The rearview camera regulations date back to 2007, when Congress initially approved legislation to set these standards by February 28, 2011. This
date was delayed
to February of this year, and again to December 31.
While DOT and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are both behind the making of these new standards, others, namely automakers, have worried that the cost of installing these cameras on each vehicle would drive the price up too high.
However, over time, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers has met with White House officials to discuss costs in the past in order to make it work.
Just last week,
the White House
finished its review
of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) proposal to
mandate event data recorders
(EDR) in all new vehicles.
also known as "black boxes," collect driver data such as speed, use of a seatbelt, whether brakes were applied, etc. before and after a vehicle crash. The idea behind them is to deploy better safety measures for vehicles as well as better overall vehicle design.

Why are these 2 guys still not on the same page? They have been working together for how long now? And yet, just like the start of the game last week, these 2 seem to have no idea what the play is until the play clock is about 15 seconds. Why is that?
This leaves not much time for Eli to make adjustments, which he almost always does. He seems to be forced to make a snap quicker then he likes to because he doesnt get the play to the team until more then half the play clock is gone.
Defenses seem to tee off on the snap count because they just wait for it to get down to 1 or 2 seconds. They get a better jump on an already struggling oline.
It makes no sense.
I see every other team in the NFL and there QB is lined up under the center or in a shotgun and have like 20 seconds left.
Why cant Eli and Gilbride? What is the malfunction? Im seriously asking this. This is not a Lets bash Gilbride thread, but I am seriously baffled why this continues to happen and why nothing is being done to fix it.

U.S. Department of Education Office of Inspector General Launches New DVD: 'Identity Theft: It's not Worth It'
EDITOR'S NOTE: For a free copy of the DVD, please contact the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General, at (202) 245-7023.
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Inspector General (OIG) today announced the release of its second DVD on the issue of identity theft in the student financial assistance arena.
Entitled "Identity Theft: It's Not Worth It," the DVD tracks how OIG, together with the U.S. Attorney's Office, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and Truckee Meadows Community College stopped a $1 million financial aid fraud scam, spearheaded by 64-year old grandmother, Ann Armstrong.
Along with four of her children and three of her grandchildren, Armstrong was convicted of using the identities of more than 65 people to fraudulently obtain federal student aid at various colleges in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Nevada, and Texas.
From January 2000 to March 2004, the Armstrongs obtained personal identifying information for various people and used it to enroll in distance education/on-line classes at colleges in those states. They applied for federal student loans and grants through the schools using these identities, submitting all information via e-mail or fax.
Checks for the loans or grants were sent in the students+ name to addresses provided on the applications which the Armstrongs then picked up, cashed, or deposited into bank accounts using false identification.
The fraudulent scheme was initially reported to the OIG by a financial aid officer at Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno, Nev. The financial aid officer observed that a number of students were applying for financial aid using the same addresses and telephone numbers. OIG initiated an investigation, ultimately leading to the filing of a criminal complaint and issuance of arrest warrants against the conspirators
In 2006, Ann Armstrong was sentenced to 57 months in prison and ordered to pay more than $662,000 in restitution. In the DVD, Armstrong discusses how she regrets her actions, and states that overall, "it's not worth it." Family members participating in the scheme also received prison sentences for their parts in the fraud.
"OIG is committed to fighting identity theft in student financial assistance programs by aggressively pursuing those who have committed fraud to obtain student financial aid," said John P. Higgins Jr., inspector general of the U.S. Department of Education. "We also work to educate potential victims and our partners in the financial arena on how to prevent it."
Since 2003, the OIG, together with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Federal Student Aid, has conducted a public awareness campaign to alert students, schools, and other financial aid participants about identity theft via the OIG's special Web site, www.ed.gov/misused.
The site provides information on scams, suggestions for preventing identity theft, and resources on how to report identity theft involving federal education dollars.
In 2003 with the assistance of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, OIG produced its first DVD on this issue, entitled, "FSA Identity Theft: We Need Your Help." This report featured an individual incarcerated for student aid fraud who described the techniques he used to steal identities.
These DVDs are made available to schools and student groups, and the media upon request. For more information on the mission and activities of the Office of Inspector General, visit: www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oig/.

Bud, you're reading WAY to much into my posts. I never slammed tapco ("When bent and fit, a tapco flat will work, there is no doubt.")
I only stated that I think AK-Builder flats are superior. So much so, I've acquired enough AK-Builder flats to redo all my home-bent AK rifles with them.
And really, I asked for enlightenment on the cleco fasteners with regards to assembling an AK. Never argued about them. I've used them and other fasteners in the past. Just because we have a difference of opinion does not make expressing that opinion an argument. I can say I won't refrain from expressing *my* opinion simply because it might not match *your* opinion. If that's arguing in your eyes, I offer no apology, but wish you the best in your efforts in any case.

Water main break prompts boil advisory in Pottstown
POTTSTOWN, Pa. - Boil water notices were in effect and crews were working overtime as frigid conditions caused water main breaks across the region.
As we come out of the deep freeze, officials said the problems may only get worse.
Crews were digging deep in Reading on Thursday afternoon after a main broke and sent water gushing out of the sidewalk and into the 1600 block of Cotton Street.
The public works department in Pottstown, Montgomery Co., has also been under siege. Workers, battling through the frigid cold, tried to make up ground after more than 12 water mains broke in the past two weeks.
"We've had one every day this week, so far. Last week, we had three or four of them, so it's a busy time right now," said Doug Yerger, director of public works in Pottstown.
On Thursday, crews were working to fix a broken main at Wilson Street and Mount Vernon Avenue in the borough. Across town, part of Berks Street was closed, and a contractor was called in to work on another broken main.
"It was a sheet of ice and yesterday it wasn't there, so it must have happened overnight or early early this morning," said Debbie Ullman, who lives right in front of the broken main.
"As things warm up again, we've got a thermal change going on with the materials and it's a problem," said Yerger.
Broken pipes are also a problem plaguing homeowners. Jahre Tisdale woke up Thursday morning to find an inch of water in the basement of his home on Gordon Street in Reading. His pipe burst and was leaking from about four different places.
"As soon as I got up I turned the lights on and noticed it was raining in my house and not outside," said Tisdale, who called the fire department for assistance.
A boil water notice is in effect for North Franklin Street in Pottstown.
Water used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and preparing food should be brought to a boil for one minute and then allowed to cool, officials said.
Anyone with questions can call the borough's public works department at 610-970-6527.

Lets be real here, it's a shame that in order to sell honey on the grocery shelve, Wal-Mart,ect. that it has to be heated over 200F + to pasteurize it and pressurize it through filters before it is put in jars an sold.If you don't it will crystallize and not sell.(to the retailer or customer). Like any food that is cooked at high temps., most all(if not all) the nutrients are cooked out, Most everyone have heard or read that honey is a good nutritious food, not so after pasteurized, to me you might as well eat Karo syrup on your biscuit, you would be getting about the same food value. As for the allergy argument whether raw honey helps or not, until there are more studies done on if it does or doesn't help, i'm going with the people who claim it's the Only thing that has helped or cured them. To say pasteurized honey is still honey i agree, but it is what it is pasterurized. It's not real, raw, unchanged from the nutrients still intact, honey.To the person who wants what they paid for.
Yikes are we reaching a consensus? I'm not sure about the 200+ degree heating Brooks. I haven't heard of anything quite that harsh correct me if I'm wrong on that.
I know of a common practice called a "flash treatment" where as the honey is heated in an extremely controlled fashion to kill off any yeast or bacterial in the honey. And when I say controlled, its done by the book, to the second of exposure. Much the same way milk is pasteurized, to kill off the botulism.,
The way packers handle millions of pounds of honey, right from the beekeeper to the retail shelf is extremely interesting. It has it problems as does other food products but the ability for us to market that much honey to the entire consumer spectrum at such high standards is quite amazing
I was wronge on the 200+ temp. i looked it up,160F + 72 c is more common, from what i've read and heard anything over 120F or 72 c the food value in honey starts to diminish. It's supposed to kill bacteria and stop crystallization at this temp.?
I dont know about the retardation of granulation, filtering pollen out helps with that.
It does kill all bacteria with a flash heat treatment though, much the same as they do with milk
They are mostly targeting Botulism
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
http://www.beemaid.com/sweet-fact5Why pasteurize honey?
Pasteurizing honey is a very different thing than pasteurizing milk or other dairy products, and it's done for very different reasons. Because of its low moisture content and high acidity, bacteria and other harmful organisms cannot live or reproduce in honey, so pasteurization is not done for that purpose. One of the few things that can live in honey is yeast, although if the moisture content is below 18% (as it normally is), the yeast cells cannot reproduce. All nectar (the source for all honey) contains osmophilic yeasts, which can reproduce in higher-moisture content honey and cause fermentation. While fermented honey does not necessarily pose any health risk, we try to discourage it, so Bee Maid pasteurizes its honey to kill any latent yeast cells that might be present and to remove any chance of fermentation.
Another side benefit of pasteurizing honey is that it will slow down the granulation process. Pasteurized honey will last longer in its liquid state than unpasteurized honey, which makes for a more appealing-looking product for both retailers and consumers.
I'm willing to bet the infant botulism warning is on all their honey.Sweet Fact 5
How is honey pasteurized?
We pasteurize our honey by a "flash heating" method, to minimize the amount of time that the honey is exposed to the heat and to reduce the risk of damaging or burning it. The honey is heated very quickly to about 160°F and then rapidly cooled, which will kill the yeast cells without damaging the product. This process is done on our production line during the packing procedure.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
looks like I stand corrected on the Botulism. Thought it got that too.
250F for a few min would defiantly degrade the honey.
I love the fact you pulled that off the BeeMaid site, Ha ha
Looks like BeeMaid also offers an un pasteurized product
I recall someone saying botulism wasn't a problem in honey typically and that the study done was that Karo syrup was the culprit but the honey board never sought to correct the claim that all honey is tainted with botulism when in fact it isnt?
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Ok, the title of the article and the thread are false and misleading. The "standard of identity for honey" is a work in progress, state by state and nation by nation. The statement made by the FDA about what "is or isn't honey" has not been finalized. The article itself said Food News Safety is waiting for the FDA to get back to them about what they consider honey as far as pollen content is concerned. It is inflammatory to degrade store shelf honey, containing little or no pollen, by claiming it's not real honey. There is no clear standard about honey and its pollen content. Save they claims of "not real honey" for the Syrups, and Sugars that everyone fights to keep off the shelf. Store shelf honey has been heated and filtered for generations. Very recent statements, which are ambiguous and incomplete, about things that are still a work in progress, should not be fraudulently used to indite an established industry.
Here is the history. First, the big beekeeping groups worked to implement a tariff on honey from some countries. To avoid the tariff some countries transshipped honey to make it look like like it originated from a country with no tariff. To catch the cheats we started testing the raw bulk honey for pollen to see where it actually came from. Once pollen testing started, the cheats invented Ultra Filtration. So the american beekeeping groups worked to stop "Ultra Filtered imported bulk honey" because it hid the country of origin to avoid the tariff. Now our hard work to stabilize the bulk honey market has been turned against us by some people looking for a Headline. The tools and words used to stop transshipments of bulk imported honey are being used against domestic honey on the store shelf. It's a sloppy application and no one has given clarification yet. Note the article itself says the FDA has not yet given any guidance or clarification.
What does a stable bulk honey market look like?
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
Honey is a good sweetener, but I have yet to read or hear of much other nutritional value in it. The trace amounts of pollen may have some protein, I suppose, but at such low levels that nothing about it appears in nutritional information that I've seen. Other than calories from the sugars, what other nutritional value does honey have?
That was a good post ryan.
>>I recall someone saying botulism wasn't a problem in honey typically <<
JRG13 , ya I dont know the facts behind honey and botulism except that most all consumers link the two together. So I follow the same position ,...
I cant see how its any different than any other raw food,
People dont feed a new born baby garden carrots or beans
Thanks Ian
I think if you look at the history of bulk prices from the 90s until today you will see severe ups and downs early on followed by steady and rising prices. Ending today with $2.00 honey and diminished worries about exporting countries wrecking our momentum like they did early on in the fight. It is an ongoing battle. I encourage support of the AHPA and ABF with all their efforts.

The Charles R. Wood Gallery will feature works drawn from the National Museums & Galleries of Wales whose vast collection of works on paper consists of over 28,000 pieces. Victorian Visions will feature sixty-six drawings and watercolors by some of the most noted artists of nineteenth-century Britain. Sir Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Sir Edward Poynter are among the many artists featured in this exhibition.
The Victorian era (1837-1901) witnessed a wealth of creativity in Britain. Artists from this period sought inspiration from a range of subjects including literature, particularly the works of Shakespeare, the Romantic poets, British history, and legends. Other artists turned to modern life and their domestic surroundings for inspiration, while landscape painters looked to the familiar countryside rather than sublime scenes of nature that were popular a generation earlier. Many Victorian artists were designers as well as painters. William Morris and his firm Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. were the leaders in artist-designed furnishings for the home and church.
The exhibition explores the different uses of drawings and is divided into five sections accordingly. Drawings for Drawing's Sake will feature studies of heads and a selection of the artists' responses to nature, both to landscape, as with William Collingwood's view of Tintern Abby (1842), and to small naturalistic details such as Apple Blossom (1869) by Walter Crane. Artists traditionally produced studies on paper in preparation for paintings, and the second portion of the exhibition will be dedicated to this subject, featuring three figure studies by Burne-Jones for the monumental painting The Sleep of Arthur in Avalon (1883), which dominated the artist's final years. Studies for Commissions will feature Poynter's meticulously prepared studies for mosaics to decorate the central lobby of the Palace of Westminster. Designs for stained glass, ceramic tiles, and textiles, including works by Morris, will form the fourth section of the exhibition. By the end of the nineteenth century, watercolors began to reflect the developments of Impressionism, and the fifth and final grouping will feature works such as John Singer Sargent's Figure Study (1900) and Albert Goodwin's nocturnal landscape titled Lincoln (1891). These and other finished watercolors foreshadow the end of the Victorian age and point to a more spontaneous modern style for a new century.
Victorian Visions is accompanied by a fully illustrated 114-page catalogue.
This exhibition is organized by the National Museums & Galleries of Wales, Cardiff.
The American tour is organized by International Arts & Artists, Inc., Washington, D.C.

"Through the combined efforts of this wonderful community at large, we will achieve great things with Dawn. But perhaps a more important outcome will be the unity we can realize".
- Chris Creek, Founder of HiveWire 3D
"We are extremely excited about the new Dawn figure and the opportunity to create content for such an excellent 3D figure. We think this could finally be the perfect Poser character to work with".
- Allen Harkleroad of PoserWorld.com

- Tommy Lemon, Vice President of Renderosity
"I am awake and dreaming. Today four communities stand together shoulder to shoulder with someone who developed the most widely used figures in the history of our industry. How wonderful an opportunity it is to combine efforts with such historically vibrant and successful communities. This like minded group of innovators put their heads together, took a deep breath and walked across the bridge to a brand new future".
- Syyd Raven, Founder of Runtime DNA
"The highly anticipated release of the new female figure, Dawn, from the extremely talented team at HiveWire3D will be a breath of fresh air for the Poser and DAZ Studio communities".

Oh well, I guess it's time to put some diary stuff in this nice little <textarea>. :)
Ask not what the BTS can do for you...
The amount of crap people can fill into a bug tracking
system is unbelieveable. I spent a couple of hours today
figuring out what do all those bug reports filed against
packages like "cd-rom" or "base.tgz" mean, and where they
should be reassigned to. It makes me want to... drink some
Sprite. :| Plus, my bandwidth to our BTS server sucks.
And finally, after I got tired and sent the message to control@bugs, the kernel maintainer flamed me because of reassigning some 15 bugs regarding older kernel-related packages versions of which have changed already. We should definitely make more pseudo packages, such as "kernel-image-alpha", "kernel-image-powerpc", "kernel-image-idepci" etc.
Yesterday I uploaded XMMS 1.2.0. Two minutes after that
people told me there was a 1.2.1 in preparation because of
some screwup upstream. Great. Another 1.5MB tarball to
download, package and upload, over my beautifully slow
bandwidth. Gar.
I also made a kinda-security upload of xinetd after xmms, it fixes an ugly bug causing the site access rules not to be respected when it comes to hosts without a PTR. Yuck. What is even more "Yuck" is that the upload is stuck in incoming until the test cycle ends. Oh well. I'll have to nag aj (acting as the release manager while dark's away) to include it.
Which reminds me... before next test cycle start, I oughta translate the Release Notes. Or bug Matej to do it. :o) The installation manual is `finito', thank goodness.
Now, let's get back to the Sprite. Or, considering it's almost 3AM, to bed.

Mother of confessed killer Joseph Chavez speaks out, reconciles with victims
The Christmas Day 2011 murder of 20-year-old Buck Garner came to a close on Tuesday.
Joseph Chavez, 20, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for stabbing Garner to death.
Chavez's mom, Eva Bargas, said her son was once a little boy who spent all day long shoveling snow, so he could buy pizza for her when she came home from working double shifts.
"Every day I live with this," said Bargas. I'm his mother."
In court on Tuesday, Bargas took the witness stand. She told the court her son was a good person, who made a terrible mistake.
She spoke to Buck Garner's mother, Lisa, from the witness stand.
"I pray every morning, for both of us," she said. "That we can get through this."
During the prosecution's arguments, Lisa Garner spoke to Chavez.
"There will always and forever be a hole in my heart," said Garner. "I love you Buck."
Chavez apologized to Garner, and told her he loves her family.
"It was a mistake," he said. "I have to live with that for the rest of my life."
The final page also held an unexpected epilogue.
"I think every night about her, and her son," said Bargas.
Bargas said there was a moment she had long hoped for, but never realized until Tuesday. After court, she and Garner embraced, and spoke for the first time. about a moment long-hoped for...
"The kids who went to jail," said Bargas. "I know their mothers personally."
Bargas referenced the 6 other defendants, already serving varying sentences for their roles in the Christmas Day killing.
The only one I didn't get to know was Lisa," she said.
On Tuesday, with a hug, that changed.
Ten years of the 30 year sentence for Chavez is fixed. After that period he will be eligible for parole.

How-To: using Python Virtual Environments
Posted by chantra on 3rd September 2013
A nice thing about Python is that there is tons of modules available out there. Not all those modules are readily available for your distro and even if there were, chances are that a newer release with new features is already out there.
You might not always want to install those modules system wide, either because there might not be any need for it, or because they could clash with the same module install via package management.
To answer this problem, python has a virtualenv that will let you create multiple virtual python instances within which you will be able to install whichever modules you might need. All this without requiring root pribileges.

The survey's purpose is to identify substance abuse trends among the Utah County youth. It also identifies specific risk and protective factors. A risk factor is defined as an influence that can push a youth toward engaging in a problem behavior. A protective factor is a measure of safety set in place to protect youth from a specific risk.SHARP Survey
Prevention services in the schools are provided through contracts with each of the three Utah County school districts. Prevention Dimensions is the State Office of Education substance abuse prevention curriculum. For more information on prevention efforts in each of the school districts, contact your school district's Prevention Specialist.

Hi Everybody,
I have a fistful of bees in a ten frame deep. It was one of my swarm traps. I brushed them down. The bees were in the rain hanging on a branch for a few days-pitiful. They have been in the deep for about two weeks-along with a couple of shallow frames of uncapped honey. There is no queen. Do you think that adding a frame or two of uncapped brood and purchasing a mated queen will be enough? linn
P.S. There are also 4 deep new foundation frames. linn

One of my favorite moments during the 2012 Republican presidential contest came when Ron Paul, fresh from his strong showing in Iowa, triumphantly told his supporters: "We're all Austrians now!"
I imagined many Americans scratching their heads and wondering: Why do we want to be Austrians? They live in a nice country with stunning mountains and all that, but aren't we perfectly happy to be Americans?

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Sergio Romo's reflexes gave him and the San Francisco Giants a hard-earned save.
The Giants held off the Los Angeles Dodgers for a 4-2 win on Friday night when pinch-hitter Adrian Gonzalez's hard grounder went off Romo's right foot.
The ball bounced to third baseman Joaquin Arias, who threw to first for the final out after the Dodgers had runners on first and third with two outs.
''Got a little scary there the last couple innings,'' Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. ''He got a break there at the end with a kick save.''
Hunter Pence homered and scored twice and the Giants got to Clayton Kershaw (14-9) with four consecutive singles - the first three with two strikes - to start the seventh.
''It's one of the toughest things in baseball facing Kershaw on his way to probably getting the Cy Young,'' Bochy said. ''We strung together some good at-bats. Guys weren't trying to do too much.''
Mired in last place, the defending World Series champion Giants have been reduced to playing out the string.
''We do want to finish strong,'' Romo said. ''There's a lot of pride here.''
Madison Bumgarner (12-9) allowed two runs and five hits in six innings, extending his streak of allowing three earned runs or fewer in each of his past 18 starts. The left-hander struck out six and walked two in picking up his first win since Aug. 2, a span of seven starts.
''When you're going up against a guy like him (Kershaw), you got to try to at least keep it a tie,'' Bumgarner said.
Romo got the final four outs to earn his 34th save in 38 chances. He gave up consecutive singles to start the ninth, putting the tying runs on with no outs.
Yasiel Puig struck out swinging and Nick Punto hit into a fielder's choice groundout before pinch-hitter Gonzalez's groundout.
''I had to bear down. These guys are no joke,'' said Romo, who challenged Puig. ''If you're going to get beat, you got to get beat with your best stuff.''
Los Angeles had its four-game home winning streak against the Giants snapped, but with second-place Arizona's 7-5 loss to Colorado, the Dodgers' magic number was reduced to four for clinching their first NL West title since 2009.
''It should have been three,'' Kershaw said. ''I'd really like to just have that peace of mind that we clinched because anything can happen.''
Kershaw gave up three runs - two earned - and eight hits in seven innings. The lefty who leads the majors in ERA struck out six and walked none. He had won three straight home starts against the Giants.
''They came right back and battled me all night and got some big hits when they needed to,'' he said. ''The breaks didn't go our way. It was my fault.''
Kershaw has hit a rough patch lately. After giving up a season-high five earned runs and career-worst 11 hits in five innings of a 10-8 road win over Colorado on Sept. 2, he served up two solo homers to Jay Bruce over seven innings in Sunday's 3-2 loss at Cincinnati.
Pence's 22nd homer with two outs in the eighth off Chris Withrow extended the Giants' lead to 4-2.
Pence got a leadoff hit in the seventh and Pablo Sandoval followed with a single. Arias singled, scoring Pence, and Arias took second on a fielding error by Scott Van Slyke.
Brett Pill followed with a single to right, scoring Sandoval and Arias to give the Giants a 3-2 lead.
''We hit some balls hard all night and we thought eventually something would break through,'' said Pill, who came in just 5 for 33 since Aug. 3.
The Dodgers had the tying run on third in the seventh, but Gonzalez struck out swinging to end the inning.
Juan Uribe sent a 1-0 pitch over the left field wall to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the sixth, scoring Michael Young, who singled.
Notes: Dodgers SS Hanley Ramirez sat out a day after leaving in the seventh inning with mild tightness in his left hamstring. The team said an MRI on Friday showed that Ramirez has an irritated nerve in his back rather than a hamstring issue. He received a cortisone injection and is expected to be available to play next week. Ramirez, the team's best hitter with a .342 average, has had two stints on the DL this season. ... Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said that when LHP Chris Capuano returns from a strained groin, he will initially work out of the bullpen. ... Dodgers OF Andre Ethier left the game in the eighth after tweaking his ankle. ... Giants RHP Chad Gaudin, on the DL with carpal tunnel, threw 25-30 pitches to hitters in a simulated game.

Indy Area Swap Shop |OG|
WOAH! Check out those sweet graphics!
That's right folks, it's time to open up the Indy Area Swap Shop! You've seen and heard of the concept in other regions, but nothing compares to the Indy Area Swap Shop |OG|!
The rules are pretty simple. You list your FOR SALE or FOR TRADE items, list your ASKING PRICE for said items, your WANTED list for trades, and have a ball. Sample listing at bottom (actually, it's my listing...fancy that).
Work out deals via PM or back and replies, although replies may clutter things. Bolding your headings for trades/sales/wants really helps make your items stand out. You know, so it won't get lost in the sea of goodies. Pics are helpful, but not required. Upon request is fine, too. Make it work for you.
As with all things, there must be a disclaimer. Red text says WOAH! That's right, stop and check this out!
The Planted Tank nor any of it's associated members are responsible or liable for any transactions or trades performed that are initiated through conversation or involvement with this site. All trades and transactions are at your own risk. By posting in this thread, replying to a message in this thread, or contacting a member through this thread, you accept these terms and responsibilities.
Basically, folks, be smart and recognize that this whole swap shop thing (as awesome as it is), is 100% at your own risk. Nobody takes responsibility but yourself.
Sweet graphics brought to you by www.cooltext.com
Without them, we wouldn't have the most rad 90's era swap thread ever!
Now for my post!
For Sale or Trade
Brand new, never before used stuff:
Aqueon 55 gallon supported tank
DIY light fixture with 2~T8 6500K bulbs (pics upon request)
2~Versa-top glass hoods (24")
I'd love to trade the above for a 29 gal with light and top/hood if possible. I've already got a heater and filter, but I just have no way of keeping a 55 gal reliably right now.
Otherwise, $100 seems relatively fair, since it's brand new/never used, and cost me just over $160.
PM me or leave me a message and we can talk about options.

SANTA CLARA — Colin Kaepernick is slated to play in Thursday night's exhibition finale Thursday, and for the 49ers' sake, they'd certainly like a repeat of last year's cameo.
Kaepernick played only the first series but delivered a touchdown drive in the 2013 exhibition finale at San Diego.
That history isn't exactly on Kaepernick's mind entering Thursday's game at Houston.
"I don't really remember last year's preseason," Kaepernick said. "I'm more worried about the regular season. When we go out there, we want to be productive."
The 49ers have yet to produce a touchdown drive in Kaepernick's seven series of work this exhibition season. His only scoring drives have led to a pair of field goals, including one in his final series of Sunday's 21-7 win over the Chargers.
The 49ers rank last in the league by averaging just eight points and 239.3 yards per game. Their combined passer rating is a league-low 56.4, including Kaepernick's 69.3 rating on 12-of-22 passing for 115 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
Kaepernick has shrugged off such stats by citing how this is just "preseason" football.
"I've never seen worrying help anyone's problems or help anyone get better," Kaepernick said. "So we're not going to worry."
Perhaps more important, he's remained healthy amid several hits while preparing for his second full season as the starter.
Kaepernick is not concerned about what peril he might face Thursday if the Texans start J.J. Watt & other top defenders. Instead, Kaepernick vouched for what's been a makeshift offensive line.
"Our offensive line is probably the most in-tune offensive line in the league, I'd say, as far as knowing what we're doing, what their assignments are and being on top of things," Kaepernick said. "When you have a physical mistake, you don't go back to the drawing board."

Wash your car, wax your truck, polish the chrome and buff the paint. Settle down to clean the wheels while Protectant works its magic on the tires.
Stand back and examine the work you've done, looking for the little things you may have missed. The time spent cleaning your ride is an investment
in its health and beauty—you trade on your elbow grease and painstaking efforts so folks can admire your ride as much as you do.
The people at Mothers®
Polishes●Waxes●Cleaners feel the same way.
Mothers® has been in the car care business for several decades—and
helping you keep your vehicle looking its best is what we do.
Packaged here are some of the practical tips and tricks our chemists, body-men, mechanics and all-around car guys have put together for you to use
as you need. We've also created a week-by-week schedule and listed a comprehensive set of car-care tools and materials for your handy reference.
To get all the details on detailing we suggest going through this guide from cover to cover. Perhaps you'll find a new trick, or discover that a technique
you've used in the past wasn't such a good idea after all. If you're one of those espresso-fueled people with no time to spare then use this manual as
a quick go-to reference for important info. For instance, when you need to clean your leather upholstery, check for fresh ideas in the section that
details interior and leather care.
Keep in mind there's a big difference between detailing your car and giving it a quick wash job. Mothers®
encourages you to be thorough in your approach and execution of any car care project—doing a half-job means you're only half-done, and
your vehicle's still half-dirty. Find the right cleaner or polish for each project, and use the correct tools.
Plan ahead for your detailing efforts to get an accurate idea of what can be accomplished. First, evaluate the condition of your vehicle: tires,
wheels, paint, trim and interior (headliner, carpet, upholstery, and gauges). From there, you can determine what you'll need for materials,
tools and time expended.
You'll also need to pick a good location to do your detailing—preferably in open shade. In addition to the obvious need for water,
and power (for a buffer, vacuum, etc.), you'll want to make sure you have room to work and no distractions or interference (chrome cleaner
does wonders for your bumpers, but you don't want to get it on the rose bushes).
After assessing your vehicle's needs you may feel a bit overwhelmed if there's a lot of work to do. To make things easier break down the job
into smaller tasks to be done in a set order. Generally speaking it's better to work from the inside out and from the top down
(with one exception—take care of the wheels and tires first; see the Cleaning & Detailing Planner and step-by-step list below).
You should also do any scratch repair or spot removal before polishing and waxing.
How often you're able to wash and/or detail your ride is another important factor to consider. Whether you've got free time or not will often
determine if detailing can be a weekly or monthly affair. Following the recommended Cleaning & Detailing planner, you may have to parlay
the weekly event into a monthly one when time doesn't allow more frequent attention.
