We had great week in Lisbon. Ema and Rui were very friendly and gave us good tips for what to see and do in the city and in the environment. Studio was nice and well situated. We enjoyed many restaurants, historical buildings and lively flea market in the nearby. We also had a good fortune to visit in Lisbon on big celebration week. The Santo Antonio festival was a great experience with all market desks, music and smell of sardines everywhere we walked in Alfama.
We had 3 fantastic days in Lisbon at this lovely quiet studio in the heart of the city. All points of Interest are nearby. Recommend to everyone! Special thanks to hosts for detailed map and other suggestions of things to see in Lisbon and more south.

Although we only stayed for two days on our way to Madeira, we had a great time in this nice little cosy flat in the heart of the Alfama. Very warm welcome from Ema and Rui. We love Lisbon so much we will be back!!!
Property is well situated in the middle of the old part of Lisbon - however it was nice and quiet at night. Very neat and clean and close to some monuments of interest as well as tram lines and bus lines. Walking to the city centre is not far and interesting as you go through the old part of town. There are plenty of little restaurants in the area too. Our host was extremely helpful and hospitable. Thank you for making our stay such a pleasure. I highly recommend this accommodation if you are staying in Lisbon.
It was the perfect place to stay.Very quiet place. But only 10 minutes of walking and you have the city life. The apartment has everything you need. It´s very clean and so nice! Also the arrival is no problem. The railstation is only 5 walking minutes away. And your hosts take a lot of care that it´s going to be a great yourey!
Ema is the perfect host! After getting lost in Lisbon, she came to our rescue, picking us up and driving us to the apartment.
The apartment is lovely. Great location, very neat and tidy.
Everything was as promised in the listing, and we will definitely be returning in the future!
I cannot recommend this apartment enough! Enjoy Lisbon
We stayed here on our honeymoon and we had such an amazing time in this space. It is a nice little romantic room. The flat is literally in the shadow of the National Pantheon. The neighborhoods surrounding it are beautiful and filled with amazing shops and restaurants. The owners are so nice and took such good care of us. They made us feel very welcome and even made sure we had bus passes and maps of the local areas. You should stay here you wont regret it.
We couldn't have a better host than Ema - it was a pleasure :-)!
She was a great organizer and so helpful, we never felt lost in Lisbon.
After our arrival in Lisbon we were so cordially received by her. She gave us a lot of tipps, infos and instructions in advance and during the stay where to go / where to get the right things
(for example how to use the ticket system in Lisbon and how to deal with taxi-drivers or where to go out at night listening to real(!)fado ...;-)).
Following Ema's tipps, you really will catch the wonderful atmosphere of this amazing city and its surroundings!
We had such a great time.
Thanks so much for your efforts and your hospitality Ema! We love to come back! Diana & Constanze

Wayne Law names 14th annual Treasure of Detroit honorees
DETROIT (Feb. 17, 2011) – Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce this year's Treasure of Detroit honorees: James K. Robinson, '68 (honored posthumously), David M. Hempstead, '75, and A. Alfred Taubman. Wayne Law alumni, students, faculty and friends will gather at the 14th annual Treasure of Detroit gala to pay tribute to the honorees at 5:30-10:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 26, 2011, at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
"We are pleased to honor three public-spirited individuals, each with a strong connection to Wayne Law," said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. "Jim Robinson — as a private practitioner, a public servant and a law school dean — personified the lawyer in the public interest. David Hempstead is a highly regarded lawyer who always finds time for his community, including Wayne Law. And Al Taubman is a philanthropist whose generosity — and whose interest in education, medicine and the arts — knows no bounds."
James K. Robinson, '68, served as a litigation partner at Cadwalader Wickersham and Taft LLP in Washington, D.C., in Cadwalader's Business Fraud and Complex Litigation Practice. From 1998 through 2001, he was the assistant attorney general of the U.S. Department of Justice Criminal Division. Prior to his appointment as assistant attorney general, he was dean and professor at Wayne Law (1993-98); a partner and litigation department chair at Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn in Detroit, concentrating his practice on complex civil litigation and white collar crime criminal defense (1981-93); and U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan (1977-80). Robinson also was a fellow of the International Society of Barristers, the American College of Trial Lawyers, the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers and the American Law Institute. He passed away on Aug. 6, 2010. A memorial service took place in Wayne State University's Community Arts Auditorium on Aug. 12, 2010.
"There are few lawyers who combined legal acumen with the ability to communicate with judges, opposing counsel and clients like Jim Robinson," said Wayne Law Professor Peter Henning. "He made practicing law look so easy because he loved every moment of being a lawyer. What impressed me most was that in every position — teacher, dean, private practitioner and government attorney — he did his best to make things right and those around him better. At a time of great cynicism about law schools and lawyers, Jim embodied what is good about legal education and the practice of law. Most importantly, I am blessed that I have been able to call him my friend."
David M. Hempstead, '75, is a member at Bodman PLC and vice chair of Bodman's Executive Committee. He concentrates his practice primarily in the areas of income, estate and gift tax planning for high net worth individuals, estate and trust administration, trust litigation, and charitable trusts and foundations. He is a member of the Probate and Estate Planning and Taxation sections of the State Bar of Michigan, and a member of the Financial and Estate Planning Council of Metro Detroit. His peers have selected him for 18 consecutive years to appear in The Best Lawyers Of America as a leading authority on trusts and estates law. Named one of Southeast Michigan's "Most Powerful People" in 2010 by Crain's Detroit Business, Hempstead serves as a board member for the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House, Detroit Institute of Arts, Henry Ford Health System, College for Creative Studies, Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, Matilda Dodge Wilson Fund, Clarence Livingood Fund and the Wayne Law Board of Visitors.
"David Hempstead is a splendid lawyer, leader and person," said I.W. Winsten, '79. "I have had the great pleasure of working closely with him on the [Wayne Law] Board of Visitors and have seen firsthand how he deploys his remarkable skills for the benefit of the Wayne Law community. We are most fortunate to be able to call David a Wayne Law graduate and to have the opportunity to honor him for his distinguished career."
A. Alfred Taubman, real estate developer and philanthropist, is a Detroit native active in numerous businesses and philanthropic initiatives. He is the founder of Taubman Centers Inc. (NYSE:TCO), one of the nation's leading real estate developers and operators of regional shopping centers, and is the author of the best-selling business memoir Threshold Resistance: The Extraordinary Career of a Luxury Retailing Pioneer. Taubman participates in a wide range of civic, cultural and educational activities, and has established and helped fund a number of centers, schools and programs throughout the country — including Wayne Law's Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights. Taubman is a member of the Wayne State University Foundation Board. He is a trustee of the College for Creative Studies, serves on the executive committee of Detroit Renaissance, chairs the Building Committee for the Detroit Institute of Arts and is president of the Detroit Arts Commission.
"I am delighted to speak to the over 30 years of deep friendship I have enjoyed with A. Alfred Taubman," said the Honorable Damon J. Keith of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. "He is a man of absolute integrity and one whom I admire tremendously. I will never forget his support and love for Rosa Parks during her most difficult times and also his support for me as the National Chairman of the Bicentennial for the United States Constitution. It is fitting that Wayne State University recognizes this ardent supporter of education whose compassion and genius truly make him an outstanding American citizen."
This year's gala, hosted by Wayne Law, the Wayne Law Board of Visitors and the Wayne Law Alumni Association, will feature an alumni reunion reception for all classes beginning at 5:30 p.m., paying special tribute to this year's featured class: the class of 1970. The event also will feature a silent auction, the awards program and dinner. For more information, please contact Michael Silverstein in the Law School's Office of Development and Alumni Relations at (313) 577-9238 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

very nice, see you're from St. Charles, was my old stomping ground in the late 70's. loved it there.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
very nice, see you're from St. Charles, was my old stomping ground in the late 70's. loved it there.
I like that grid so much I'm tempted to draw one on the flannel tablecloth that serves as my design wall. "Tempted" does not mean it will be done tomorrow. lol Really, love your wall and I'd like to see some of the other things he's engineered for you.
Wow nice & big!! Bet that's gonna get a lot of use!! Good hubby!!
Be kinder than necessary,everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
My sewing room has slanted wall like in an attic so no place for a design wall. Instead I take advantage of the ceiling tile to pin the quilt to them and that way it hangs straight and I can step back for a look. Have absolutely no space for a permanent design wall. Will have to get some flannel to hang so I don't have to pin blocks together before hanging them.

That looks great. I will check out the foam insulation at Home Depot. I purchased the Fons & Porter design wall but was trying to decide where to put it. I don't have that much wall space, but was thinking of placing in front of my closet double doors when I need to use it. With the insulation, I'm thinking I could duct tape a couple of pieces together so it could be folder and stored under the bed when not in use. Thanks for showing it. Your husband did a good job.
LyndaWhen a dying man asked his pastor "How long does it take to die?" his pastor's heartfelt reply was "A lifetime." Live life to the fullest, but stop now and then to enjoy the sunset.
This is great, in what kind of material your hubby made the board, my hubby started to paint my new hobbyroom so I'm still looking for ideas and this is great. I tought to cover a part of the wall with cork and use that as disign wall, what do you think would it work?
One craft project,
like one cookie,
is never enough ! (May Britt)
He used 1/2" foam insulation board from Home Depot. I noticeyou are in Belgium, so I don't know what stores you would have. You should be able to get it at a store that sells construction materials. Cork would probably work, but it would be much heavier and probably more expensive. He used 2 pieces of 4' X 8' foam board at about $13 each. Good luck and feel free to pm me if you have any questions.
I'm sure it will get a lot of use. Great project by your DH.
A design wall is the one thing I don't have, but wish I did, no wall available.

Oct 18, 2012 at 9:59 am #1295197
Picking up a VGA cable at Frys last night I noticed they were selling a nice little lightweight knife for $0.95.
also in blue:
Weighs 35 grams on my scale including a clip. Not the sharpest tool in the shed but a nice little 1.5 inch oval blade. What do you think?Oct 18, 2012 at 11:36 am #1922531

@redpointLocale: British Columbia
I really appreciate a quality knife and I also think that a knife is THE most important thing a person carries when venturing off the beaten track. For super basic food prep and/or opening packages [or mail], I'm sure it's fine, but I would never rely on a $1 knife for survival or heavier, everyday tasks. That said, a stout knife doesn't need to be super expensive either.Oct 18, 2012 at 12:23 pm #1922545

It really doesn't matter if it is a lightweight knife for $0.95, a single edged razor blade, a Becker BK-9 Bowie, a Derma-Safe Knife or a SOG Jungle Primitive.
Folder or fixed blade, it is only important when it gets right down to what you need the knife to do for you in the field.
As Mike said, "…depends on what you're using it for …"
I've hiked 100 miles in a two week stretch when a pair of scissors would have been all that I really needed.
That being said my EDC habit is to always have at least two "blades" with me. One is a decent sized folder and the other is the blade on a "small" multi-tool.
That little folder with the carabiner clip that you purchased would have served me well for everything that I needed a knife for on my two week hike. ;-)
I've long been looking for the perfect knife that does everything that anyone would ever need a knife for and IT DOES NOT EXIST!
That being said, I keep on looking and I keep on buying them. L O L
Had I been with you in Frys I would have spent the 95 cents.
It has a lot of advantages. It is inexpensive, light, easily stored within reach and I assume sharp enough to do what you need it to do.
It won't clear brush on a bushwacking expedition but it looks good to me.
Party On,
NewtonOct 18, 2012 at 12:49 pm #1922555
That pretty much parallels my thoughts on it Newton.
Plus I had a good time leading on my wife with it. I got home showed my wife and said I made a splurge purchase. She said she didn't care, then I started telling her all of its attributes. That's when she got a little concerned and said, "was it less than $50." I responded, "ninety-five…" and got a look of death before, "… cents" came out.Oct 18, 2012 at 1:23 pm #1922558

That's funny! You're a brave man and very lucky that she didn't use it on you after teasing her that way. ;-)
Sounds to me like you got a good knife and a good wife!
Since you were in Frys did they have this one in stock?

A knife is more a tool of convenience, than a tool of necessity.
I cant think of anything I might need a knife for, that I couldnt do without it.
Amputations excepted.
I havent even used a razor blade in last several hundred miles.
People got along great for thousands of years with sharp chipped rocks. Just sayin.Oct 19, 2012 at 11:14 am #1922879
Joe SMember
I think a good bush knife (not Rambo, but a quality 3"-4" fixed blade) falls into the catagory of "not vital 99% of the time, but really important should things get bad." I'll always carry one, but will admit it's a personal preference, and the potential for being places where there is not a lot of trail traffic.Oct 19, 2012 at 4:10 pm #1922971
Yeah, certainly growing up, my father always told me that a knife was the most important tool when you were out in the woods. The more I get into the BPL mindset the more I challenge those built-in biases. I now tend to believe people in the outdoors tend to over emphasize the importance of their knife. I am not sure I have ever met anyone who truly needed a fixed blade knife.
I don't mean to sound like I am attacking your post, just trying to challenge it in a friendly way ( :) ). Plus, the thread disappeared after the last spam attack so I wanted to bump it back into existence.Oct 19, 2012 at 5:32 pm #1922999
Nick GMember
Before hiking the Long Trail this summer, I asked myself "What would I actually use a knife FOR, anyways?". I couldn't come up with a good answer, so I ditched it. 300 miles later, I have no regrets. I borrowed someone else's knife to make some minor campsite improvements, but in this case it was super unnecessary.
However, I did pick up a .8 oz Leatherman style which I currently take with me backpacking, and it mostly gets used for cutting cheese.
I have a hint of a non-UL philosophy in me that says "just because you can get away without it doesn't mean you shouldn't bring it". Perhaps that's the one lingering piece of common sense that's keeping me above 5 lbs BPW.
Still, a $1 ultralight knife is a great item to have scored! I'm a tad bit jealous, even though the knife I already own isn't currently costing me a dime.

The weekend long right of passage thrown by buddies for a great guy after he announces he will be a father for the first time. The party typically includes: fine aged ribs, pork shoulder and artisanal cheese fixed in a Valhalla fashion with micro beer and such and in a get away "guys only fashion", hour to hour events are based around lollygagging games and tom foolery that dudes enjoy and take delight in, all to divert attention away from the conscious fact that one of their close buddies will soon pull away from the pack and devote his attention to the needs of his family.
Corey texted his friends that he was going to be a father for the first time. Slowly his buddies texted him back to congratulate him and ask when they could throw him a Manshower Weekend, to honor his ability to procreate.

A month after finishing her record-setting swimming career, Tennessee senior Kelsey Floyd received another honor this week: an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
In addition to being a leader for the Lady Vols on the pool deck, Floyd has also been one of Tennessee's top performers in the classroom. Now finishing her degree in Recreation and Sport Management, Floyd has been recognized nationally for her academics by the swimming and athletics communities.
She has been named a Capital One Academic All-American and was listed last year on the 2012 Scholar All-America Team. she is also a three-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
The NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship is for $7,500.
Floyd finished her career with the most All-America honors in program history with 24, earning six of them as a senior. She swam a leg on all three of the Lady Vols' NCAA championship relay teams in March, helping Tennessee to a third-place finish in the team standings, the best result in program history.
In SEC competition, Floyd was a star there too. She won 16 medals in her conference career, including six gold. Individually, her highlight was taking gold in the 200 butterfly in 2012. She helped the Lady Vols win five SEC relay titles. She swam the butterfly leg of the conference record-setting 200 medley relay team this season.
Floyd isn't done with swimming just yet, however. She is set to represent Team USA at the World University Games this summer in Russia.

From the Left Hand Corner: Hospice silver lining
We are ever reminded that life is fragile. Also, we are reminded almost daily to expect the unexpected.
Yesterday I awoke, thinking that the first priority was to finish up and send in this week's column. I'd been working with help from another, who recently alerted me to a technical problem, dilemma and concern. We "tech Neanderthals" have been oblivious to the invasion of privacy, or tech piracy, of our own National Security Agency (NSA).
Then the phone rang. I had already received one long-awaited, day-changing phone call that caused commitment to further phoning and late afternoon meeting, but this next call was even more urgent and day-changing, as it turned out.
My best and closest lifelong friend is dying. He is at the Veterans Hospital Hospice in St. Cloud, transferred from the Brainerd hospital about a week ago. His daughter was calling to say that the nurses had called to alert that his condition was rapidly deteriorating.
That followed the rather ominous calls from Len's close sister and brother-in-law. What a change from just a few days before, when we were questioning the Brainerd facility personnel on what seemed to be premature, giving up and directing a transfer to hospice.
On the way to St. Cloud, I was still thinking about the wrapping up of the NSA column. Just a couple hours later, on the way back from St. Cloud, all I could think of was reflection on the likely last visit with Len.
What was a very sad and draining ordeal of watching a dying person I've been so close to for 70-plus years was made so much more bearable by the tremendous staff at a tremendous care facility. I came away wishing all veterans and all others could have access to the same level of care that Len is getting in his last days here.
What impressed me most were two young women. They were Vanica and Cassie. I'd probably forget their names before the week is over if it weren't for the unusual name and the unusual level of care they are providing to their patients. They likely won't see this, and I won't likely ever see them again, but they certainly left a lasting positive impression. One had an attractive, ready smile as she bustled about her duties. The other was even more attentive and reactive to every little movement and sound in the room environment generally, and Len particularly.
How difficult it must be going to work each day knowing that none of their clients/patients will ever likely improve or survive.
Yet, these two broke into repeated cheery smiles and continually spoke with quiet assurance and empathy as they went about their physical patient care. They moved unobtrusively and checked on patient and visitor what seemed like every few minutes, yet also left us uninterrupted for times when I was trying to communicate with Len, staying flexible with their care duties.
They also pampered me, securing and placing a chair, turning down competing sound and speaking louder to this hearing-impaired visitor, who took off without hearing aids. They offered comfort aids and explained call buttons that were unneeded due to their level of attention.
Most impressive was their kindly gentle care of Leonard as they monitored the abdominal pain medication port, and as they gently moved and lifted Len's back and shoulders as they applied supplemental pain patches.
These two entry level nursing young women exemplified what I've seen and heard of the whole St. Cloud Veterans facility. The information people, including elder veteran volunteers, extended themselves in giving clear and friendly direction, including telephone access and even dialing to the right person in the hospice building to ensure access and direction inside. The weekend housekeeping worker whom I encountered near the front door surprisingly knew Leonard by name and room number and interrupted her work to walk me down and around hallways to point out his room.
I started out the day with a good feeling about hospice care and hospice workers. We had very good hospice care here at home just last year. But, that good feeling is even stronger now. I just wish that everyone in time of dying could have the St. Cloud Veterans Hospice care that Len is receiving.
It was tough to say goodbye. It has already, and will again, cause some tears. But, it certainly was made easier by two young women. They really seem to care about their work and they do it very well. At least yesterday, they certainly did.
Those of us who have access/coverage are incredibly fortunate in this country to have the level of prenatal to death medical care that is great now and ever developing and improving, but at great cost also. I only wish that it was accessible, available, affordable and provided to all.

All quilts come with some scraps but when do you say this is too small to keep? Also do you square up odd shaped pieces or keep them as they are? I have several bins of small pieces I'm not sure are worth keeping.
I have the same issue. And this is my solution: I cut a 2 1/2" strip from any piece with length. Any thing else I cut 2 1/2" squares. I'm not really a scrappy quilter but I might make one some day! Or I will do a PIF here on the board
When they are an irritation to use and/or store, rather than giving you pleasure.
When I get down to the remainder of a piece of fabric I cut it into 2.5" squares. Less than that is out of here.
I won't live with scrap bags and boxes, that would seriously drag me down mentally.
Check out Bonnie Hunters use of "crumbs". If this is not for you then pass them on. I love making quilts out of others "trash" fabric. http://www.quiltville.com/crumbs.shtml
It is time to go to www.quiltville.com and find the pattern for the Spiderweb quilt. I have been working on mine for couple of years and you can use quite small pieces at the end of the triangles. I keep my papers next to my scrap bin and if I just have a few minutes I can sit and sew a couple of blocks.
Hi, I've been trying (when I finish a quilt) to cut my scraps into useable sizes and store in plastic shoe sizes containers. I have a 1", 2", and 2 1/2" and then larger. I don't plan to make a crumb quilt so I don't keep anything smaller than 1". I do draw from these containers when paper piecing. Good luck. This is really a mystery as what to save.
everyone here has given you exncellent suggestions. My scraps were becoming so overwhelming, I chose to go through and cut mine all down into squares. It took me quite awhile to get it all done and organized. But, I absolutely love it. Now, a great friend of mine gave me all of her unused/scrap fabrics to use before we moved to Oregon. I have at least 3 eighteen gallon totes to go through and organize. I love scrap quilting, so this is going to be a Fantastic project for me. This time though, I am just going to do it off and on.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I chose to only go to a one and a half inch square as my smallest. It is just totally a choice.
I make 2.5 inch strips,a few 3/4 inch strips from the smaller than 2.5 inch remains for corded bowls-the rest is out of here.I am ok with neat precut strips but I am not ok with jumbled up piles of wrinkled messy shapes.
Log cabins are my favorite, with 1" finished logs, so I can use strips that are 1.5" wide. I'm thinking about doing the next one as an offset log cabin, so one side will have strips that finish at .5". That means I can use 1" wide strips. I don't cut everything into strips though, because there are other patterns I might want to make. The last one I made used squares cut at 3.5" and 3".

Test of KAI C++ Compiler
[ One of our Research Assistants, Shawn Houston, installed and evaluated the KAI T3D C++ Compiler on ARSC systems. Here's a summary of his report. Send me email, and I'll provide the test programs and makefiles.]
The KAI C++ compiler is actually a set of optimization tools and a front end to the Cray C compiler. The compiler runs under a script, KCC, that controls the compilation process. The script preprocesses, compiles, and links the source files. Next, it decompiles the linked program, and reprocesses them, then relinks. I used the latest release of the compiler, version 2.9, which is not quite a complete implementation of the C++ working paper. I assume that KAI version 3.0 will be a complete implementation.
Uniprocessor Test:
The KAI compiler comes with a test program, "caxpy.C," that performs some complex valued arithmetic using vectors and times the operations. I compiled the code with both the KAI compiler and the Cray C++ compilers. I ran the programs produced with identical parameters on one PE.
The KAI executable for this one vector-oriented code is faster but the KAI executable is considerably larger.
KAI executable: 622632 bytes Cray executable: 228568 bytes Kai caxpy output times: "caxpy 1000 1000" Time for caxpy1 = 0.379962 seconds [21.0547 Mflops] Time for caxpy2 = 0.319968 seconds [25.0025 Mflops] Time for caxpy3 = 0.440056 seconds [18.1795 Mflops] Cray CC output times: "caxpy 1000 1000" Time for caxpy1 = 0.39996 seconds [20.002 Mflops] Time for caxpy2 = 0.39996 seconds [20.002 Mflops] Time for caxpy3 = 1.40006 seconds [5.71404 Mflops]
Multiprocessor Test:
How does the KAI compiler fare in a multiprocessor program? I do not know. I obtained a copy of a small test program from Tom Baring and converted it from C to C++. I compiled it using the Cray CC compiler, and ran the program on 2 and 4 pes, getting output which agreed with that of the original C code.
After several frustrating days I could not get the KAI compiler to compile this one code. It uses the shmem libraries and some intrinsic functions. In all fairness to KAI, I may have installed the compiler wrong, or not understood how to get the KAI compiler to recognize the mpp headers and explicit functions, such as barrier.
KAI C++ Ver 3.0 News Release
Champaign, Illinois - Kuck & Associates, Inc. (KAI(TM)) announces the immediate availability of Version 3.0 of the KAI C++ compiler. This release of KAI C++ includes draft-standard C++ class libraries, support for member templates, and new usability features for large codes. KAI C++ provides the latest C++ features, runs on every major UNIX workstation and the Cray T3D, and delivers significant computational performance enhancements.
KAI C++ Version 3.0 replaces KAI earlier C++ compiler and now includes the established KAI trademark as a part of the name to ensure that KAI C++ is not confused with any other software presently on the market.
New Features & Improvements
KAI C++ Version 3.0 contains the following new features and improvements:
- Near draft-standard C++ class libraries, not just STL and iostreams
- Support for member templates
- Optimization of template expressions
- Building of libraries that contain template instantiations
Programmer Productivity
The powerful features of KAI C++ make programmers more efficient. The compiler advanced optimizations allow programmers to take full advantage of object-oriented design and software reuse without worrying about performance. KAI C++ makes objects almost as efficient as hand-coded C. Programmers will spend less time trying to correct performance problems, and instead deliver more code that is intuitive and easy to maintain.
Bruce Leasure, Vice President of Technology and senior product manager for KAI C++,emphasizes that KAI C++ will enable programmers to port code to all of the supported platforms without having to re-write it to conform to a different compiler implementation of C++ features. This makes KAI C++ essential for anyone who wants fast, cross-platform portability.
Updates & New Floating Licenses
Customers can immediately update any earlier versions to KAI C++ Version 3.0. There is no charge for customers who have an existing support service agreement or for customers who purchased Version 2 after April 1, 1996.

I thought I'd try timing the barrier function using essentially the same program given last week for eurekas. It won't obtain the actual time for barrier release, as it makes extra calls needed for testing eurekas, but is interesting for comparing eurekas and barriers. A couple of notes about this exercise:
In addition to the well-known BARRIER subroutine, CRI provides finer control over this means of synchronizing your code, via the functions:
SET_BARRIER() - Registers the arrival of a task at a barrier WAIT_BARRIER() - Suspends task execution until all tasks arrive at the barrier TEST_BARRIER() - Tests a barrier to determine its state (set or cleared)The generic BARRIER() call is simply a call to SET_BARRIER() followed immediately by a call to WAIT_BARRIER():
BARRIER() - Registers the arrival of a task at a barrier and suspends task execution until all other tasks arrive at the barrierUsing SET, TEST, and WAIT, you might be able to program some PEs to continue doing useful work while waiting for the remaining PEs to reach the barrier:
call SET_BARRIER() do while (.NOT. TEST_BARRIER()) do_work () enddoThere are 'man' pages for these functions.
My test program, given below, hangs a quarter to half the time. I think the problem is that the barrier calls are too close together, and once in a while a "set" goes undetected at some process' "wait." The traceback (after killing the job) indicates that the job did hang in a barrier call:
- Beginning of Traceback (PE 7):

First I thought it was a rock in the heat shield of the CAT, but then I got a check engine light now. It is coming more so from under the engine somewhere, rather then the top of the hood. The piston slap I know of, and goes away after a few minutes. This sound on cold dtart is loud, but gets slightly quieter as I drive, and it warms up? But is still noticeable? Enging runs fine, I have all power still. Good oil pressure at 275kpa, Nothing that is different with the engine except this rock noise.

The street people of the urban east coast are for the most part marginally uneducated with limited social skills and couldn't hold a job in the best of times. As you get into the West and the coastal areas you find a better grade of bum. It is not to say that they are any less lazy, the just have adapted better to their environment.

DNR sued over wolf hunting rules; WHS a plaintiff in lawsuit
Wisconsin Humane Society Joins Lawsuit to Protect Wisconsin's Dogs
DNR Sued Over Wolf Hunting Rules
MILWAUKEE — The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) and other plaintiffs filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Natural Resources Board (NRB), asking the court to stop the DNR from authorizing the use of dogs for wolf hunting until reasonable rules are established to protect dogs from injury or death. Other plaintiffs include outdoorsmen, hunters, volunteer trackers, and other Wisconsin animal welfare organizations.
"The Wisconsin Humane Society is proud to be a plaintiff in this case, upholding laws that protect dogs from unnecessary suffering, which is central to our mission of building a community where people value animals and treat them with respect and kindness," said Anne Reed, executive director of WHS. "We are grateful for the opportunity to help bring this matter to the court, and we hope that the rules can be rewritten to provide reasonable protections for dogs used by hunters."
On April 2, 2012, the Wisconsin Legislature passed a law allowing a wolf hunting season in which dogs could be used to "track or trail" wolves. The law left it up to the DNR and the NRB to write specific rules for a wolf hunting season. Both the DNR and the NRB received scores of letters, emails and testimony submissions from citizens across the state, objecting to the unrestricted use of dogs to hunt wolves.
Nevertheless, according to the plaintiffs, the rules as approved go far beyond allowing dogs for tracking and trailing. "Under the rules as they are now, dogs can be trained and used to hunt wolves in ways, in areas, and at times that place them in jeopardy of dangerous confrontations with wolves, certain to lead to literal fights to the death," stated Reed.
According to the plaintiffs, the DNR rules lack reasonable restrictions to protect dogs from confrontations, grievous injuries, suffering, and death. The plaintiffs contend that without those restrictions, the rules go well beyond what the legislature authorized in the wolf hunting law, and are likely to lead to violations of Wisconsin laws which prohibit animal fighting.
"Because the DNR and Natural Resources Board approved rules that lack the restrictions needed to avoid irreparable harm and violations of Wisconsin animal cruelty law, plaintiffs found it necessary to seek the assistance of the court to stay the use of dogs in the upcoming wolf hunt," explains Jodi Habush Sinykin of HS Law, the attorney representing the plaintiffs in the case, together with Robert L. Habush of Habush, Habush & Rottier, S.C., and Carl Sinderbrand of Axley & Brynelson, LLP.
Experts have submitted affidavits that explain the high risk of death and injury that dogs face if used in wolf hunting without appropriate protections. These experts include Richard Thiel, retired DNR wolf manager who served 33 years with the Bureaus of Endangered Resources and Wildlife Management; Patricia McConnell, Ph.D, a nationally-acclaimed expert in canine training and behavior; and UW-Madison Professor Adrian Treves, Ph.D, expert in wolf habitat and behavior.
Fast Facts
Plaintiffs include: Wisconsin Federated Humane Societies, Dane County Humane Society, Wisconsin Humane Society, Fox Valley Humane Association, Northwood Alliance, National Wolfwatcher Coalition, Jayne and Michael Belsky, and Donna Onstott.

The news the Government is looking to reduce access to certain elective surgical procedures is likely to raise the blood pressure of many across the country.
In a developed nation such as New Zealand, our expectations of what our health system should deliver are high. So to be told that limitations may have to be put in place is a confronting message.
However, most will agree that as our ageing population and the increasing burden of chronic disease put the squeeze on health resources, New Zealand needs to be very careful about how funds are distributed in order to provide the best possible care.
Some funding decisions won't be popular. But to ensure the long-term sustainability of healthcare, tough calls will need to be made. Any Government should be commended for this.
A clear indication of what will and won't be available in the public sector alerts New Zealanders to the necessity of having alternative funding for healthcare.
Costs mean decisions over the adoption of new medical technology and treatments will also be important. We simply cannot afford every medical advance going.
There is no doubt many recent advances in medical technology have resulted in better outcomes for patients - such as earlier, more precise diagnosis, faster recovery, and fewer complications. Examples include advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment, and improvements in the treatment of blocked coronary arteries.
Inthe Herald last week, cardiologist Dr Mark Webster called for an improved system to rigorously assess the clinical and cost effectiveness of adopting new medical technology.
An important fact shown in Dr Webster's article is that not all medical treatment methods stand the test of time, despite much excitement regarding their benefits. This point has been painfully highlighted by the recent recall of popular new hip replacement devices which were implanted into hundreds of New Zealanders before international data showed them to be faulty.
That is just one example of why there is an absolute need for robust evidence before a new technology is introduced.
Recent articles have been focused on funding decisions in the public sector. However, decisions over new technology are also important for private funders.
In the private sector, individuals are able to access treatments not available in public, and get them without waiting, at a convenient time and in a high-quality facility. But insurers such as Southern Cross must ensure any new medical technology has solid evidence to support any increase in cost for its 820,000 members.
In other industries, advances in technology usually reduce price. In healthcare, the opposite seems to occur. Healthcare costs have risen substantially over the past decade and "medical inflation" has greatly outstripped the consumer price index.
The development and adoption of new medical techniques and technologies have undoubtedly played a significant part in this unsustainable trend, which is showing little sign of abating.
Southern Cross doesn't believe New Zealanders should be asked to fund the higher costs of new technologies not yet proven to be better than tried-and-true conventional methods. Every additional dollar paid out in medical claims has an impact on its members' premium rates.
For this reason, Southern Cross canvasses the opinions of a broad range of medical experts, including medical representative bodies, and carefully assesses the cost and benefits of new technology. The aim is to only reimburse technologies that are clinically proven, effective, safe and provide benefit at an acceptable cost.
Many technologies meet this test - which means treatment options covered by health insurance policies are expanding all the time - but some do not.
An example is Southern Cross' position not to allow an extra 25 per cent charge for cataract surgery using new femtosecond laser technology. This technology has yet to prove it offers significantly better outcomes than current methods of cataract surgery.
Southern Cross funded 6200 cataract surgeries in the past 12 months at a total cost of $22.6 million - hence it is a big-ticket item.
All New Zealanders are paying for new medical technology, whether through health insurance, out of their own pockets, or through taxes. It's the job of funders such as Southern Cross and the Government to ensure only proven, cost-effective technologies are supported.
Each funder will have its own criteria and budget limitations, but it is essential as a country we get the best possible return out of every dollar invested.
Dr Justin Vaughan is head of clinical operations at Southern Cross Health Society.

An ice cube, only described similar to bones found in a human body. Bone's create protection for the human organs, they are hard and therefore protect the soft tissues and such. An ice bone however, is frozen water, kind of protective of the water that it can melt into. So, it's similar to a bone both being solid/hard. One large difference between an ice bone and an actual human bone is that an ice bone is commonly found in a glass of water or soda. If you visit a friend and find an actual bone in your refreshment, you may be pals with some sort of mass murderer.

Bruins sign former Maple Leafs center Christian Hanson
|07.09.12 at 6:09 pm ET
The Bruins announced Monday that they have signed former Maple Leafs center Christian Hanson to a one-year, two-way deal. Hanson, 26, last played in the NHL in the 2010-11 season and spent last season playing for the Hershey Bears, the Capitals' AHL affiliate.
Hanson will make $600,000 in the NHL or $105,000 in the AHL next season for the B's. The 6-foot-4, 228-pounder had 10 goals and 11 assists for 21 points and 42 penalty minutes in 52 games for the Bears last season.
The Notre Dame product has played 42 career NHL games, all of which were with the Maple Leafs, and has three goals and nine assists for 12 points and 22 penalty minutes at the NHL level.
Hanson's father is Dave Hanson, a former player who totaled 33 NHL games between the Red Wings and North Stars between 1978-1980, but is better known for playing Jack Hanson in the film "Slap Shot."

Miley — what are you thinking AGAIN?
Just days after the Parents Television Council condemned your new video "Who Owns My Heart" as a "sexualized video" that is "unfortunate," you're back at it — inappropriately showing off your sexuality.
This time, it's a no-bra nipple show!
Come on Miley! You are still ONLY 17 years old — you know you're going out in public in Toluca Lake, Calif., and that paparazzi WILL take your picture. You must WANT the world to see your nips. Are you an exhibitionist or what?
And what's even weirder, is that your mom and little sister, Noah, were with you! Why didn't your mom — like any regular mom — tell you to go put a bra on?
"Miley's at an age where she's showing her rebellion but it's clear that she's got no boundaries, and that's her parents' fault!" asserts psychotherapist Dr. Gilda Carle. When parents don't impose boundaries — tell her that it's NOT ok to go out showing her nipples — then the child runs how they want to run."
And there's a couple of problems with that, Miley, according to Dr. Carle. First of all, you're mistaking the "shock" attention you're getting for positive attention. It's not. It's giving out the absolutely wrong message to men. "She 's teasing boys, and men, into thinking she is ready to do things that she's not ready to do — emotionally and psychologically," says Dr. Carle.
Second of all, when your parents don't give you boundaries, you won't learn to give yourself boundaries, which you'll need to do as an adult.
"People need to learn self-discipline, " says Dr. Carle.
Sadly for you, Miley, your parents are doing you a disservice by even encouraging your oversexualized behavior. You don't need your parents to be your friends; you need them to say "NO"!
Says Dr. Carle: "It's like the whole Cyrus family is drunk on fame and fortune!"

High Potency Cream, AHA 20 contains 20% glycolic acid at a pH of 3.5. This will exfoliate skin, but the kickback from irritation due to such a high concentration of AHA may not be worth the risk, at least not for daily use. There isn't any research on this issue to help point you in a safe direction. This product is only recommended if your physician advises you that such potency is necessary.
This extra strength anti-aging cream is formulated with glycolic acid (an AHA) along with the antioxidant lactobionic acid (a PHA) to exfoliate, moisturize, and restore the skin to a youthful appearance. Repeated use will leave the skin smoothly textured and may reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

NeoStrata At-A-Glance
Strengths: Huge assortment of AHA and PHA exfoliants; a couple good cleansers; some excellent moisturizers; several fragrance-free products.
Weaknesses: No BHA products (better for blemish-prone skin or for those who can't tolerate AHAs or PHA); use of jar packaging compromises some of the formulas; irritating ingredients make an appearance in several products.
Exfoliation is the name of the game for this line! The original NeoStrata and Exuviance brands were created by Drs. Eugene Van Scott and Ruey Yu, the two researchers who own the original patent (actually, they hold over 80 patents) for the use of glycolic acid (AHA) in relation to its ability to diminish wrinkles, among other capabilities. Few lines offer reliable and effective formulations for exfoliation, so those that do deserve your attention. Well-formulated AHA products are those that have an effective concentration of AHAs and a base with an acidic pH that allows them to have maximum benefit. The exfoliation that AHAs provide reduces the thickness of the skin's outer layer, helping skin to quickly look smoother and feel softer, which in turn can solve many skin problems, including dryness, blemishes, sun damage, and skin discolorations. A good deal of research also shows that AHAs can help increase the thickness of the underlying layers of skin, improve skin structure, increase collagen production, and allow penetration of other skin-care ingredients. Moreover, NeoStrata is one of the only companies to sell a range of reliable sunscreens that also contain effective AHA formulations.
Both the Exuviance (Exuviance products are reviewed separately), NeoCeuticals and NeoStrata lines contain glycolic acid (AHA), but even more of these products contain a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) called gluconolactone (also patented by Scott and Yu), and for which similar claims are made. Gluconolactone is supposed to be gentler and longer acting than glycolic acid, and its delayed penetration is attributed to its larger molecular size. However, according to an article in Cosmetic Dermatology (July 1998), the skin can't tell the difference between the various effective AHAs, and the possibility of gluconolactone staying on the surface of skin longer than other AHAs did not prove out. So in terms of exfoliation and potential side effects, PHA ends up being as good as AHA. Gluconolactone may be slightly less irritating for some skin types, but this isn't quite the magic bullet for exfoliation NeoStrata claims, though it does indeed work when properly formulated (but so do glycolic and lactic acids). Another PHA NeoStrata uses is lactobionic acid. However, there is no definitive, published research establishing it as an effective alternative to (or partner for) other AHAs or BHA.
Beyond the numerous products that exfoliate (which is NeoStrata's main selling point) there's not much to get excited about, especially for what the company is charging. And it's upsetting that a dermatologist-driven, physician-sold line still has weak spots such as the occasional inclusion of irritating ingredients with no established benefit for skin and, believe it or not, a sunscreen that leaves skin vulnerable to UVA damage. NeoStrata has their act together when it comes to AHAs and PHA, but that tunnel vision has, in some respects, kept them from branching out to offer a better assortment of state-of-the-art products.
For more information about NeoStrata, call (800) 225-9411 or visit www.neostrata.com.
Note: NeoStrata's range of products is advertised as being available only through physicians. However, the entire selection is available for purchase online. The Exuviance brand is sold in select department stores and specialty beauty boutiques such as Ulta.
Caution: Keep in mind that skin needs only one reliable exfoliant at a time. NeoStrata sells so many good ones, you may be tempted to double (or triple) up, but doing so can backfire and be more irritating than helpful.

'Harry Potter' Stars Emma Watson & Daniel Radcliffe's Naked Make Out!
The longtime pals and costars share an onscreen kiss in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,' and it turns out they both had to strip down for it!
As every Harry Potter fan knows, and judging by this weekend's box office that is most everyone, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows features a kiss between Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson — and it turns out it was naked kiss! Daniel told MTV that the day before they filmed the scene they were told they would be naked, save a strapless bra for Emma, and painted silver to heighten the drama of the scene! Okay…
As for making out with Emma, who he has known for ten years, Dan said, "It was kind of weird. It is a bit like kissing your sister. But, you know, I don't have a sister, so that's why I can say that and I'm not creeped out by it."
On the topic of Daniel's recent remarks about Emma's kissing abilities he commented, "I've just been getting into so much trouble with Emma about this because apparently I said in an interview she was like an animal. I thought it was going to be kind of a slow, sensual thing, and Emma just like really went for it. And it was great, I'm not complaining. It was good and vigorous."
This simple screen kiss is turning out to have one heck of a back story!

Do honey bee's help strawberries?
Do honey bee's help strawberries?
I would expect so, IF you have about 10,000+ flowers on them; otherwise it might not be enough of a nectar source to even draw their attention. ... Drawback to honey bees as pollinators is that they're so "mass market" about stuff; doesn't take 30,000 employees to pollinate 50 roses
the strawberry beds around here all bring in bees.
mike syracuse ny
Whatever you subsidize you get more of. Ronald Reagan
I have not noticed any on my beds. But lots of blooms and lots of berries set. Looks like a good year for strawberries.
My strawberries are loaded. Check early morning for bee's on them, that's when I noticed them on mine.
I read somewhere, don't remember where, that insect pollination of strawberries can increase their size by 50% vs unpollinated strawberries.
They dont pull nectar just pollen correct? Wondering if I need to feed in Strawberries.
They will but I don't see them on mine often. I have 1/4 acre. There is so much else going on they often overlook mine.
When we were at the big U-Pick-Em starwberry farm last weekend, I noticed a line of hives at the edge of the field.
Rarely see any one mine. It helps forming a nice round berry too.
We have 25,000 plants out this spring. See bees on them all of the time.
They dont pull honey from strawberries do they?
Most strawberry cultivars display a high degree of self-pollination, so those guys don't pay beeks for pollination. A huge number of adjacent hives and no other flowers in town would increase the set a bit, but the flowers have little attraction to bees. It would benefit the strawberry grower to really know his cultivar varieties and how much bee pollination increases his yield for each one. It is not outside the realm of possibility that bee pollination could pay off if it seems that a flower set is not producing fruit, but the price would likely have to be very low.
Out here in California, the strawberry prices are slowly being ruined as former citrus and avocado orchards are being converted to row crops due to the NAFTA trade agreement (thank you, Jimmy Carter). It is now cheaper to move to Brazil, cut down the rain forest, grow oranges there, and ship them here. Those who got out of lemons in time and still had some money in the bank went to the double-graft of either Duke 7, Dusa, or Toro Canyon/Haas avocado that tolerates avocado root rot, those that didn't adapt are now trying their hand at strawberries or rotating row crops - celery, lettuce, cilantro, etc. It's getting hard to find oranges for honey. This has been going on for some time, now. The only winners were the land clearing companies.

Strawberry pollination is pretty big business here in central Florida. No nectar, just pollen. You need to feed
Interesting about strawberry pollination in central Florida...which cultivars and hows the price? All year (= 4 crops) or 3 season? Different prices each season (winter crop is usually just to give the workers some hourly out here)?
Strawberries are self-fertile and wind will usually provide sufficient pollination. However, bees pollinating could increase berry size and increase the percentage of fully pollinated fruit.
Bunch of local guys here grow strawberries. Plant city is known for its berries. They have an annual strawberry festival. Some bigger Plant city growers ship all around the country.They plant around winter time. Pick several times. Pollination is usually 40 to 50 bucks a hive. And yes, the yield and size is better with bee pollination

Get a Nightlife: The Bunny House & Beyond
Crystal reveals what nightlife is like on Hef's stomping grounds.
For the next two weeks, I'll be reporting from the Bunny House, which is basically like overnight camp (or "sleep-away" camp for you East Coast readers), minus the curfew and counselors and bad food. Like camp, you don't find out who you're rooming with until you land on the premises, yet the inevitable Playmate bonding makes the goodbyes bittersweet. (Naked pillow fights help with the ice breaking.)
Over the past two years, the memories I've made—and the stories behind them—will last a lifetime, most of them created somewhere between happy hour and 2 a.m. Of course it doesn't hurt that the Mansion is two houses down from the back gate. Noodle fights in the grotto, Sunday parties in the game room, cook-offs (and sometimes drink-offs!) in the kitchen…needless to say, my nightlife here never disappoints.
Last weekend was somewhat tamer than usual. With Movie Night on Friday and a low-key Saturday curled up with The Princess Bride and white wine, we were well-rested by Sunday and ready to ring in Ashley Hobbs's 22nd with a bang (meaning karaoke at The Gaslite and more shots than I'd care to remember). Hef's brother Keith even came out in honor of the birthday girl, as did a lot of the Mansion staff. A night none of us will forget.
Tuesday was dinner at Boa with my girls Hope Dworacyzk and Ashley Chase, followed by sangria at the bar and an "interesting" encounter with a guy who recognized Hope from Celebrity Apprentice. After leaving said stranger at the bar, we kept our buzzes going at Soho House, making sure to carve out quality time in the photo booth. The pictures say it all.
Now for the lesson-learned moment—cue sappy instrumental music. It's not always where you get your nightlife but who you get your nightlife with that ends up mattering most. You never know where your nightlife will take you, but as long as you keep an open mind to new faces and new adventures, the after-hours possibilities are endless!
A big congrats to @LilyLoveGood33 and @budnichols, the winners of my "Pun-ny Joke" contest and now the proud owners of VIP tix to the Deja Voodoo After-Party series in New Orleans. Great jokes, guys!

Home>Exhibitions>Selected Past Exhibitions>2005>Northern Nocturnes: Nightscapes in the Age of Rembrandt
The most celebrated nocturnal landscapes in northern European art - three paintings by Rembrandt, Peter Paul Rubens and Adam Elsheimer - were united for the first time in this unique show of some 50 paintings, drawings and prints drawn from public and private collections in Europe and the United States.
Adam Elsheimer's mesmerising Flight into Egypt, 1609 (Alte Pinakothek, Munich) became the most influential night landscape of the seventeenth century. Rubens, a personal friend and great admirer of Elsheimer paid homage to him by making a version of the same subject in 1614 (Staatliche Museen, Kassel), in which he based the nocturnal effects on Elsheimer's picture. Rembrandt also was inspired by Elsheimer's composition when he painted his Rest on the Flight into Egypt, 1647 (National Gallery of Ireland), generally considered the finest nightscape in the art of the Low Countries.
The exhibition demonstrated how the nightscape developed from a backdrop of biblical subjects to a genre in its own right. These secular nocturnes reached the peak of their popularity in the middle of seventeenth-century Holland in the works of Nicolas Berchem, Aelbert Cuyp, Jan van Goyen and Jacob van Ruisdael. Adriaan Waiboer, curator of the show and author of the accompanying catalogue, said that nightscapes were primarily painted by artists interested in rendering various light effects in the dark, such as the moon, stars, comets, open fires, torches and lanterns. In fact, contrary to what one might expect, nightscapes are all about light. Many Dutch and Flemish artists known for daytime scenes, such as the winter landscape painter Hendrick Avercamp, took up the occasional challenge of painting a landscape or cityscape by moon or twilight. Among the few and most accomplished specialists in the field of nightscapes was Aert van der Neer.

The rise and fall of Roman Britain, how they lived and what they left behind...
In 55 B.C. Julius Caesar came, saw, conquered and then left. It was not until A.D. 43 that the Emperor Claudius crossed the channel and made Britain the western outpost of the Roman Empire that would span from the Scottish border to Persia. For the next 400 years the island would be transformed. Within that period would see the rise of Londinium, almost immediately burnt to the ground in A.D. 60 by Boudicca; Hadrian's Wall, which was constructed in A.D. 112 to keep the northern tribes at bay, as well as the birth of the Emperor Constantine in third century York. Interwoven with the historical narrative is a social history of the period showing how Roman society grew in Britain.
Joan Alcock is a fellow of the University of South London. She is also the author of A Social History of Roman Britain, as well as A Social History of Ancient Rome.

"Incredibly tedious"
It's just an inventory of facts and figures, devoid of any drama or emotion. The people mentioned are simply names, devoid of personality.
Focused less on checking off every item on her checklist and more on imbuing the story with interest.
Clear, sprightly, cheerful
"An exercise in tedium"
An appallingly dry and boring book. It is a simple listing of facts with absolutely nothing whatsoever to hold your attention. I literally couldn't believe that a) someone had written something so utterly devoid of interest and b) someone chose to publish it.
The reading was fine, but she might as well have been reading the phone book.

It has been raining for the last couple of days. My plan was to pull honey supers this weekend and extract.
I have access to a garage that will have a dehumidifier running.
Will it be acceptable to pull honey supers in the morning, run a dehumidifier several hours before extracting in the room, and then extract without having any issues?


text: Hey everyone, need some advice here. I was inspecting two of my newer hives today and out of nowhere it starts pouring rain. I was able to get the frames back in and the covers on pretty quickly but one of my hives got soaked. All the frames have some water in some of the comb. Ive never had this happen before. Is there anything I should do to help them dry it out or should I just let the bees handle things and see how it turns out? I did a search and couldn't find anyone with a similar question so any advice would be appreciated .
