i split agressively in my first three seasons, but now that i have more than enough production hives i don't see doing any splits, other than to bust up the weaker hives into nucs for queen rearing.
i split agressively in my first three seasons, but now that i have more than enough production hives i don't see doing any splits, other than to bust up the weaker hives into nucs for queen rearing.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Well maybe it shouldn't be called a contest at all, and maybe we should approach this splitting challenge differently, but I think it could be done and have it be of interest to people with a solid set of rules for everyone. With something like this, you are going to have to depend on people's honesty, and really there is no reason for someone to be dishonest, there is no prize money here for the winner. With the goal of taking one package, or nuc, and multiplying it into as many hives by fall, and getting them to survive until the following spring, there are going to be various methods employed by beekeepers to get it done. This is the interesting part for me, the what, how, and when of these methods. Personally, I think buying queens should be allowed if that is what you want to do. I also think supplemental feeding of honey, syrup, and pollen/pollen substitute should be allowed. I mean, if you are trying to build up your colony numbers in a big way quickly, these are things that you will probably do anyway, right? So, we do need to establish the rules, which shouldn't be that big of a deal in my opinion. John

I think I will give it a try. I had limited success with my spits last year but maybe this year I will be that much wiser!
dnichols, what happened last year with your splits? John
I started the year with four hives. Two were from packages and two from nucs. I decided to do some splits later in July into early August which may have been too late. My main issue was that the queens I purchased for the splits failed. Two never started laying and were superseded. Those new queens emerged but never could get going as at that time it was into September. One split absconded, one was robbed. I still have two that are alive but out of stores. I have been mountain camping them and I have patties for them but I have not been able to get into them since out blizzard last week. I can't wait for this snow to be GONE!
Sounds interesting to me, and an ideal I had on splitting one double deep nuc all spring/summer long, so count me in. Again, how will it be judged? By the sure number of queen laying splits you have made by August 30 from one hive, following the rules stated in post 1?

Vivint to Convert 500K Accounts to SGS' stages Platform
Vivint will deploy the stages(TM) monitoring platform by Secure Global Solutions (SGS) at its two monitoring stations in Provo, Utah and St. Paul Minn. ...
By Ashley Willis · March 22, 2011
PROVO, Utah — Vivint, formerly APX Alarm, will convert more than 500,000 accounts to the stagesTM monitoring platform by Secure Global Solutions (SGS). The advanced software solution will be deployed at Vivint's monitoring stations in Provo, Utah, and St. Paul, Minn.
"The solution simplifies the job of our dispatchers, allowing them to focus on providing exceptional service," Vivint Vice President of Operations Lindsay Grauling tells SSI.
Vivint's monitoring stations provide response for burglary, fire and medical dispatch. With its previous system, the company relied on extensive training to maintain its quality standards, says Grauling. The stages system automates complex processes that Grauling describes as a "structured, decision-tree approach," guiding operators through vital response steps. The software controls whom to call and what operators can do if they reach an answering machine.
"SGS really looked into our processes to help us create changes to dispatch procedures without pulling agents off the phones for long, intense trainings," says Grauling.
SGS will participate in the software installation process, SGS Vice President Hank Goldberg tells SSI. Once completed, system data will be converted and integrated into other Vivint applications and hardware.
"Vivint has actually written its own application for customer service," Goldberg says. "We have an application product interface [API] that allows end users to rapidly increase integration with their own solutions."
During the 90-day installation, roughly 200 operators will receive training from SGS. Both the old system and the stages system will run parallel to each other until the job is completed sometime in April. The conversion will be transparent to customers, Grauling adds.
Goldberg notes that what makes stages different from other software platforms is that it really fits the needs of its customers. "Our whole idea is not really selling in volume," he says. "It's about creating solutions for our customers, not just replacing software. We really are changing a lot of the technology and how things are done."

Caroline Palmer
Psychologist to speak Feb. 24 on music performance
By Peter Pfordresher
Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology and Institute for Music Research
(Feb. 17, 2006)--Caroline Palmer, researcher in the cognitive neuropsychology of human performance at McGill University (Canada), will present her research as part of a UTSA Department of Psychology speaker series at 3:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 24 in Business Building Room 3.03.24 on the 1604 Campus. Free and open to the public, the lecture is sponsored by the UTSA Institute of Music Research.
Her lecture will include discussion of a new line of research that involves the role of anticipatory movements during piano performance using motion-capture technology as a research tool.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Palmer's research focuses on the cognitive and neural bases of music performance. The topics she has explored include the way in which memory lapses may lead to "slips of the finger" during performance, how children acquire the ability to perform music, and comparisons between speech and music production.
Her research led to an early career award from the American Psychological Association (1996), as well as numerous grants from foundations in the United States and Canada.

School policy goes too far
Our public schools keep getting dumber.
Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit, frequently runs articles that make dramatic points on companion issues: the higher education bubble and K-12 education bubble.
With respect to the higher ed bubble, he highlights the complete and utter stupidity of goings on in the university system like stupid class offerings, free speech codes, outrageous actions by professors and administrators, etc.
As for K-12, it's similar, but probably the most frequently referenced issue is that of "zero tolerance" rules, sometimes referred to as "zero tolerance, zero intelligence" rules. Those include things like the boy who chewed his pop tart into the shape of a gun and was suspended from school.
Today's example tops that one by a wide margin.
A 3-year-old deaf boy in Lincoln, Neb., is being bullied by public school officials to change his name because the hand sign for Hunter Spanjer looks like a weapon. The Grand Island school district has a policy that forbids kids bringing to school "any instrument ... that looks like a weapon."
They can't change the sign, because it's the official hand sign for his name, registered through S.E.E., Sign Exact English.
Pressure from the National Association of the Deaf and the public has compelled the district into allowing the deaf boy to keep his name. Sadly, there is no humility or sense of shame from district authorities.
You can look up the sign, it's in the S.E.E. dictionary.
If I was Hunter's father I would have a sign for the school administrators. Since this is a family newspaper, I'll have to leave that one to your imagination.

Donnie Cox
Donnie came to the Tri-Cities already familar with this part of the country. Donnie is a Tennessean having grown up near Cookeville in the Upper Cumberland. Prior to coming to the Tri-Cities, he spent 20 years at the CBS affiliate station in Nashville.
Donnie studied meteorology at Mississippi State and holds the AMS Seal of Approval. His fascination with weather dates back to elementary school when he would draw out weather maps on the chalkboards in classrooms. In high school Donnie earned his pilot's license, which required quite a bit of weather study.
The Tri-Cities is home to Donnie's wife Janice. She is from Kingsport, where she grew up Janice Litton and attended Dobyns-Bennett High School.
Donnie has flown into two Category 5 Hurricanes (Mitch and Ivan) with the Hurricane Hunters. He was working in Nashville in 1998 when the tornado hit the downtown area. Janice says when there is a thunderstorm or when the tornado siren goes off, Donnie goes to the front porch to watch instead of taking cover as he tells other people to do.
Donnie is fascinated with space exploration and space flight as well. He has covered space shuttle launches for WCYB from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and watched nearly all of them on television.
Donnie came to WCYB in March 2010 as the weekend meteorologist and later added weekend morning news anchor to his weather duties. Donnie is now the Monday through Friday morning and noon meteorologist at WCYB.

Mike D'Antoni said that Pau Gasol will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Bulls on Monday.
"It also puts Pau in his natural position. He's one of the best centers in the league," D'Antoni said. He went from laughing at the idea of bringing Gasol off the bench, to thinking about it, and now he's going to bring the former All-Star off the bench for what is expected to be on a permanent basis. It's unlikely he'll be able to maintain his average of 34 minutes per game on the season, but Gasol owners shouldn't panic and sell low on him especially since he's coming off a season-high 25 points on Sunday.

aya - Cookbook: recipe #101, Setting up a tla archive
recipe #101, Source Code Managers: Setting up a tla archive
(First, you should make sure that your SSH access is set up. If you are not sure, read recipe #102)
There is currently more than one way to work with GNU arch: the decentralized way and the centralized way.
Setting up a public archive mirror (decentralized way):
The most common way of using arch is the decentralized way: the developer works with his local archive and publishes it on a regular basis.
Let's assume
is your local archive, where 'project' is your project name.
Firstly, setup your public archive at gna.org with the following command ('archive-2004' is the symbolic name for your public archive location)
Then, synchronize your public archive:
Usually, it is more practical to synchronize your public archive whenever commits are done into the local archive. This can be achieved by the means of a commit hook. A hook is a small shell script that is run by tla when commands are run. It is located at ~/.arch-params/hook.
Here is an example:
(Please note that your public mirror is locally know as local-archive-name-MIRROR)
Setting up a centralized public archive:
If you want several developers to commit direclty into the same public archive, you may be interested in making the public archive the main one, so every authorized commiter can access it at any time.
This can be done that way:
Accessing a tla project archive:
Firstly, register the tla archive with:
Then, retrieve the archive revision into a local directory:

Redeye do you have any Shamarko thomas?...He lacks prototypical size, but the guys a freak athlete who reportedly runs a 4.2 40 and hits like a mack truck...Depending what the Giants do with Rolle and Phillips in the offseason I would love the Giants to take this guy in the 4th round range if he's still available.
For my early mock I'm going to give the Giants
1. Manti teo- Depending how the Giants finish it's conceivable we could be picking mid 1st and I think thats about where Teo should go
2. OT Brennan Williams- first round talent who suffered a torn labrum and will probably slide some. Could be a day 1 starter at RT for us though
3. DE Brandon Jenkins- Pass rush specialist who'd be a solid replacement for Osi
4. S Shamarko Thomas- Baby Bob Sanders
5. CB Nigel Malone- IS NYCsportsfan's sleeper CB and the guys right more often then not, so thats good enough for me
6. TE Travis Kelce- Great size 6'6 260, solid production 472 yards 4 TD's and reportedly runs around a 4.5ish 40
7. RB Rex Burkhead- Giants haven't had a white RB since Keith Elias, I think we're do for another one...His hard nose style would be a nice compliment to Wilson down the line
Last edited by juice33s; 11-23-2012 at 03:25 PM.
Unfortunatly, as fans we dont see the doc reports from the combine so we wont really know how badly he was injured. But hopefully the Giants do. If the problem is resolved, he is a fine prospect. If not, I would stay away, that is an injury that can plague a career for an olineman.
From the little I've seen shamarko play, I don't think size is an issue. He's extremely physical. His instincts are questionable and he bites on everything. Though Will Hill was much the same. I do like shamarko. Get him to play a little more disciplined and he can be a nice player in the secondary. He would be a tremendous ST player as well with his speed and willingness to throw his body around
Welp, my man Baccari Rambo yet again makes a huge splash play for GA.. Ga Tech was about to score on a long run play and a few Bulldogs converged at about the 4 yrd line and the Ga Tech runners momentum was moving em toward the endzone and Rambo just stole the ball from him and then returned it 46yrds in the other direction.. So easy to see hes gonna fly up draft boards.. Its why i have em as the top S in this class..

First visually inspect the blockage by looking carefully down the barrel. Once you have diagnosed the problem, just grab the gun by the barrel and start banging the hell out of it on the table. Swearing loudly will help you channel your energy into this task more efficiently. That should do the trick!
Ok seriously, make sure you do everything you already said with the gun still pointed down range and your finger off the trigger, but that should be it to clear a stovepipe/FTE. As for misfires, I'm not sure if the XD allows a second strike (someone else will come along soon to clarify that), if not just do the same process as the FTE. When in doubt, put the gun down, still aimed down-range, and go get the range officer or other equivalent expert.

That neck piece itself is metal but my back plate is fiberglass i wanted to see some pictures of fellow fetts and how they attached there armor together.
If they overlap use Industrial strength velcro. But even if they dont the velcro can still hold them together.
If you use screws for the shoulder studs just make it as short as possible so the 2 halves of the velcro still meet.
any pics? it just seems that when i put them together its like they just dont match up
If you are not looking for totally screen accurate in terms of attachment method, but only in the finished look, this is the easiest way to do it (and what I did for my ESB Fett this time around):
Attach the collar studs only to the collar -- going ahead and attaching the cape and leaving it on the collar armor all the time -- and then mount to the backplate with Velcro. Looks exactly the same, but means I no longer need assistance screwing in the studs every time I suit up.
sooo many options....guess i should decide on one of these before i start..thanks for the help.
I use the accurate "bolt myself in" method. Spending a few extra minutes getting suited up doesn't seem like a big deal.
Thanks that pic is a big help.... i was also wondering about the placement of knee armor...is it righ above the knee, on the knee, or below the knee ?
i have aluminum shoulder studs with a threaded hole on the bottom. i drilled matching holes in the neck and back plate and run a screw up through them that the stud screws on to.
seeker made a plate to hold his bolts that go through looks like a very good idea http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/s...uild-up-43497/

Die Wohnung ist sehr gut gelegen, um LA und seine Attraktionen zu erkunden. Sie ist schon ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen und entsprechend verwohnt. Aber alles Notwendige ist vorhanden, so dass sie als Ankerpunkt für einen LA-Aufenthalt sehr gut geeignet ist. Der Gastgeber, Duke, ist einfach extrem hilfreich und sehr bemüht, einem den Aufenthalt so angenehm und bequem wie möglich zu machen. Auf diesem Wege möchte ich ihm nochmals herzlichen Dank für seine freundliche, stets aufgeschlossene Art sagen, mit der er uns immer ein verlässlicher, zuvorkommender Gastgeber gewesen ist!
Het appartement lag op de perfecte locatie in Hollywood: zowel dichtbij Hollywood Boulevard als Sunset Boulevard. Het ruime appartement was nieuw ingericht. Alles wat je in huis nodig hebt, was aanwezig. Ondanks de drukke omgeving was het er zowel overdag als 's nachts rustig. De twee slaapkamers hadden allebei een eigen badkamer plus toilet. De hartelijke ontvangst van de gastheer was ook een plus. Ten slotte was er een zwembad in het appartementencomplex waar heerlijk kon worden gezwommen. Kortom: een aangenaam appartement in een bruisende stad.
The apartment was very nice, clean and very close to the places of interest of Los Angeles. Duke and his wife are wonderful hosts and very helpful persons. We would recommend them and the apartment for every person, who would experience one of the beautifulest cities on earth. Thank you so much!
Thank you Duke for a wonderful stay and all the great restaurant recommendations, many of which we tried and enjoyed very much!
The apartment was perfect for us. Spacious, very clean and equipped with everything we could possibly need during our stay. The benefit of a bathroom per room is amazing. The location in west hollywood is perfect, we were able to get most of the places we visited within minutes. One day we even walked from hollywood walk of fame within 5 to 10 mins.
There is also a supermarket (Ralph's) a few minutes walk away which was very convenient. I would highly recommend this apartment for your stay in LA.
Very nice place. Conveniently close (15 min walk) to metro, which is a good idea as traffic is horrible in LA. Spacious apartment with all the necessary stuff. Duke and his son Dennis take good care of matters. We would certainly book this place again.
Just Got back from a stay at Dukes Place it is in a perfect location less than 5 minutes from Hollywood boulevard, in fact you can see it from the balcony. the apartment is clean, quiet and secure. And it has everything you would need and more. Both Duke and His son Dennis are really nice guys If I ever get to Hollywood again Duke will be getting a call from me !!!
The apartment was very nice, clean and very close to the places of interest of Los Angeles. Duke and his wife are wonderful hosts and very helpful persons. We would recommend them and the apartment for every person, who would experience one of the beautiful cities on earth. Thank you so much, to enable this great time. We definitely see us again!
This suite was perfectly located close to Hollywood boulvard, the suite was nice ! The kitcken was well equiped with everything we needed, the garage was also easy to entrance both from the suite and from outside. The host Duke was nice to talk to and very helpful. Best recommendations !!!
First of all we would like to thank Duke who was very kind and helpful for all types of questions and needs - this is much more than you can expect!
The apartment was perfect for our 10 days stay in LAX with our two kids (15/13): a one minute walk to Sunset Blvd., 10 minutes to Hollywood Blvd. (Walk of Fame), 20 minutes by car to Universal, and so on. The photos really present the apartment like it is: spacious, clean, a quiet house. The only thing you hear is the traffic from La Brea Av. but never annoying.
We definitely recommend this apartment. Thank you very much Duke, hope to see you again!
My stay in Los Angeles with Duke was perfect.
Apartment as described, great location and very kind.
I recommend to all of Wimdu. Five stars .... Thanks Duke ...

The ongoing political unrest in Egypt has governments scrambling to evacuate their citizens, cruise lines rerouting itineraries and travelers wondering what will become of their vacation to see the Pyramids.
Whenever trouble strikes in the travel world, you'll hear experts touting the many virtues of trip insurance — but civil disturbances and riots are excluded from coverage on most policies. So in a case like the protests in Egypt, will travel insurance actually help you? I caught up with Steve Dasseos, President of TripInsuranceStore.com, to find out.
Dasseos explains that when these sorts of events happen, your tour operator, airline or cruise line is responsible for offering an alternate itinerary. "Let's say you have a tour company that's going [to Egypt] at the end of this month," he says. "The tour company or cruise line has to take care of its passengers somehow. They'll usually offer an alternate itinerary, bonuses, that sort of thing. You can change your travel dates or itinerary with your insurer and go on a completely different trip. That's no problem."
If your trip is canceled altogether, your cruise line or tour operator should give you a refund according to the terms and conditions under which you booked your trip. Contact your travel provider as soon as possible to find out what arrangements are being made.
So what happens if you've planned your own trip independently? Are you out of luck? "Not completely," says Dasseos. "Check with your airline first. It's likely that the airline has changed or canceled its flights. Most airlines don't charge people penalties for changing their itinerary [when this sort of incident happens]. You can then change the dates on your insurance to apply to your other trip." He cautions travelers to be sure to let your insurance company know of itinerary changes as soon as possible — before you actually travel.
As for hotels, Dasseos points out that most properties won't charge you a penalty unless you cancel your reservation within 48 hours of arrival. And in extraordinary circumstances like the Egyptian riots, "I doubt that hotels are going to hold travelers accountable to those cancellation penalties," he says. "They don't want to spoil future business."
If you've got a trip to Egypt booked for a few months from now, you'll need to sit tight. Odds are that your tour operator will wait to see how the situation in Egypt plays out, so your trip may not be canceled or altered just yet. You may want to call off the trip yourself if you're nervous about traveling to Egypt or if you'd rather go somewhere else instead. But these reasons are not covered by your travel insurance policy unless you purchase "cancel for any reason" coverage. This type of insurance will cover "being afraid to travel or changing your mind," says Dasseos, "which aren't normally covered by other policies."
For nervous travelers, "cancel for any reason" insurance is a good bet for any trip, no matter where you're headed. You may also want to check out Travel Warnings and Advisories, which offers useful tips on traveling to potentially unstable countries.

Re: garden planning
I hope someone can give you a link to a good program FSMom.
I just want to put a reminder about permaculture principles if you are laying in more than a seasonal garden. (and haven't already incorporated it!)
I loved the consultation my sister got with a permaculture specialist (it was David Holmgren - who came up with the theory). He took such note of the property and spoke to her about the different things she wanted to plant, and looked at how they could make the most use of the site, and interact with each other, and look at what things need to be established, and how that would work in with seasonal things.
I remember that the first thing ended up being sorting out where the fruit trees would go, and getting them established.

Re: garden planning
Gosh..........use a computer program? Not me, I'm not clever enough!
I use a 3-year crop rotation system in the garden to ensure good plant health & use manure/comfrey accordingly, but other than that I plant what I want, where I want it.
I am just about to construct 2 raised beds (8'x4', & 16" deep) for ease of cultivating kitchen herbs in one & salads in the other, on top of that I have a permanent fruit area of around 20'x20', & 3 veg beds. Medicinal herbs are grown in the flower borders with everything else.

I hand designed my flower garden on paper when it was destroyed, i loved help from the net while placing various plants. Of course the same help is there to help with vegs and herbs.

Re: garden planning
I have sown fruit plants according to the biodinamic calendar today, in a very ordered thoughtfull way, counting the seeds putting them in mild water preparing the little pots, taking note of what was what, using a bought soft terriccio/potting soil, I gathered everything in little boxes I brought home from supermarkets and placed them under a plastic tunnel on a bed kept warm by a huge amount of manure I put underneat .................. all this being clever, methodic, in time with season and calendar made me so ........... like I never felt before when planting or sowing or weeding or even diggin manure in all my orto ............ it's definitely not my way

Re: garden planning
mada, i have used the calendar to plant garlic and its relatives...onion, shallot, leek, chive, i needed to plant garlic early to protect the strawberries and the whole family was planted at the same time.
First time that i have respected mounting/desending of the moon times...lets see when its time to cultivate

It's funny didn't here from Crue for a month until now I wouldn't be surprised if RG3 runs all over Dallas tomorrow and they lose big. RG3 knows how big this game is for Washington they hate the Cowboys like we hate the Eagles....even though I hate the Cowboys more. I'm telling you the Redskins win tomorrow and we beatdown GB again this Sunday for them opening their big mouths last year. GB used to be a respectable organization but now with Rodgers ****y stupid attitude with his stupid belt celebration and clay's whinin g they are in trouble.

Bootstrapping is designed to improve CIs by making their coverage
better, not by making them smaller! A better approach for your case
would be Bayesian, but again a better CI does not necessarily mean a
smaller CI. Some priors might result in smaller credible intervals,
but others in larger, and you need to describe the dependence of your
results on your assumptions. If you estimate 15 ways and only report
the one that accords with the conclusion you want, you are committing
scientific fraud.
For the multinomial case, a flat prior is not the face of a simplex:
see also section 5.2 in http://www.tilman-neumann.de/docs/BIEP.pdf
Depending on how serious you are about getting the smallest possible
CI, you may need to do a lot of reading about maximum entropy methods.

Alanah Poullard, a kindergarten student at Hathaway High School, is gaining national attention after she asked President Barack Obama to write a school excuse note for her teacher during a recent visit to the White House. (Pete Souza, The White House / Special to the American Press)

By Doris Maricle / American Press
HATHAWAY — Alanah Poullard, a kindergarten student at Hathaway High School, is gaining national attention after she asked President Barack Obama to write a school excuse note for her teacher during a recent visit to the White House.
Alanah's photograph with President Obama writing the excuse was chosen as the White House "Photo of the Day." It has since appeared in dozens of newspapers and on websites and news broadcasts across the country, including CNN, "Good Morning America" and the BBC in London. It has also gained attention from "Inside Edition."
"It has gone viral," her father, the Rev. Dr. Stacy Poullard said Monday. "We've gotten calls from the U.K., South Africa ... I've got classmates I haven't seen in 40 years and all of a sudden they knew who I was."
Poullard said the attention may be more than his 5-year-old daughter realizes now, but believes it is all happening for a reason.
"Some things happen for a reason and some when you know you are blessed," he said. "For her to have access to the president, his residence and dog at such an early age, it can only help give her a better outlook on life. She's been exposed to things most adults never even know about. She sat in chairs that Dolly Madison and Abraham Lincoln sat in."
Alanah asked for a note to show her kindergarten teacher last Thursday while she attended a Wounded Warriors program at the White House with her father and mother, Army Major Yolanda Wise Poullard. Her mother was wounded in Afghanistan and is undergoing rehabilitation at military facilities in Washington, D.C.. and Bethesda, Md.
The note, written on official presidential stationery, simply reads, "Please excuse Alanah from school. She was with me." Signed Barack Obama.
"I've never gotten an excuse like that," teacher Jennifer Howell said. "I have tears in my eyes talking about it. I am so proud of her. What an amazing thing."
Howell shared the note and showed photographs of Alanah's visit to the White House with the class Monday morning.
Not only did Alanah get a personal written excuse from the president, but she was also given a private tour of the White House during her four-hour visit. She also got to sit in the president's chair in the private White House movie theater and play with first dog Bo.
"She is the first kid outside of the family to even get to sit in the president's chair in the theater," Poullard said.
Poullard said as soon as the family walked into the East Wing of the White House, security personnel asked Alanah if she would like to see something and took her away. For 45 minutes, the Poullards had no idea where their daughter was, but figured she was in safe hands.
"We later found out she'd went all over the White House and had taken a bunch of pictures," he said.
Poullard jokes that he and his wife only got to see the first floor of the White House.
Alanah's favorite part of the tour was playing with the Obamas' dog, Bo.
"I love Bo," she said with a big grin. "I got to play with him. My daddy only got to pet him. I want to buy Bo from President Obama.
"Bo is the greatest dog because he didn't lick people. He just wiggled his tail," she added.
Before her tour, Poullard helped his daughter write a note to the president asking for an excuse for her teacher. The family had doubts the request would be granted.
"We really didn't even think we'd get to meet the president," Poullard said. "Then all of a sudden the president and Vice President Joe Biden came out of room and started walking toward the group. As soon as he saw Alanah, he yelled out "I got your letter."
"She froze because she didn't know what to do, then she took off and ran to meet him. She just threw her arms around him and he picked her up and put her back down. By then he was about 50 feet away and they hugged and all I could do was cry. I'm a daddy and this is hardly something anyone gets to do."
Poullard said he doesn't know what his daughter and the president talked about, but says "they had a conversation."
"She watched and stayed close to him," he said. "It was as though they made an instant friendship. Before he left, he turned and told her, "Now let's take care of that note."
As for her encounter with the president, Alanah said, "I liked running up to him. He hugged me. He's my best friend."
The Poullard's have been invited back to the White House for the Christmas tree lightning and Easter egg roll. Stacy Poullard, who has been preaching since 1983, may also be invited back to do the opening prayer for Congress.
Poullard plans to chronicle all the photographs, newspaper clippings and the now famous blue dress her mother bought Alanah to wear that day as keepsakes for when she is older. As for the note, he plans to put it in a safety deposit box.
"One of these days she can have it when she knows what to do with it," he said of the note.
For now, she has copies of the note to share with family and friends.

E3, LOS ANGELES - May 22, 2002 - Capcom Entertainment today announced Steel Battalion, an exciting battle-mech simulator for the Xbox™ video game system from Microsoft. Using the most elaborate controller interface ever created, players take a seat inside the cockpit of a mechanized VT (Vertical Tank) and enter into futuristic military warfare. Players pilot 20 different mechs over the course of the game while participating in a multinational task force operation to over throw the government. Ultra realistic visual effects and mech battles in a first-person perspective create the ultimate mechanized military warfare experience. Steel Battalion is scheduled to release in North America this winter. The ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) rating is pending.
An exclusive 40-button controller has been designed to completely maximize the gaming experience and immerse the player into the role of a Vertical Tank pilot. With trigger buttons to fire weapons; foot petals to accelerate, boost and brake; levers to shift gears and move left to right, gamers must utilize the full potential of their VT's abilities in order to survive on the battlefield. Mastering the controls of this tactical vehicle will allow players to feel as if the VT is part of their own body.
Steel Battalion players operate a strategic battle mech weapon through 12 action-packed levels, fending off dozens of adversaries while attempting to diffuse a riot that has ensued on a Pacific island ruled by a military dictatorship. Unlocking new missions, maps and enemy robots once the game is completed provides endless entertainment. With a diverse arsenal at the player's disposal, including plasma torches and a MK21-6 twin pod rocket launch, there will be plenty of action to go around.
Steel Battalion boasts the following features:

I sell most of my honey locally to other smaller beekeepers. I like selling locally too, that way I have a better feel for what is happening in the local market. If there is payment problem it's a maximum 1 hour truck drive. We get top dollar for local honey. Any prairie honey we produce is sold locally and we may not get top dollar but we do get paid.

[quote user="juice33s"]I really question the validity of the report with the scout calling Fleener an "awful" blocker. IMO Fleener is an above average to good blocker. I challenge anyone to show me video that collaborates with this scouts assessment of him being an"awful" blocker.
Ask Nevada to. He can probably put one together for you.

I guess "better jumper" isn't the right word. Better quality jumping should be used instead. In term of quality, Gracie's jumps are better than Yuna's jumps. But Yuna's shown she's more consistent.
I guess "better jumper" isn't the right word. Better quality jumping should be used instead. In term of quality, Gracie's jumps are better than Yuna's jumps. But Yuna's shown she's more consistent.
I don't see how Gracie's jumps are better than Kim's. Please show us some examples.
I can understand claiming Gracie is more all-around jumper because of mastering all 5 triples, but comparing what they are doing right now... I don't get your conclusion.
If you are talking about 3lz-3t, then show me a clip of Gracie's best 3lz-3t that is better than Kim's.
During 09-10 season, Kim's 3lz-3t is at least as good as Gracie's. The speed into the combo, the distance, the flow were all better than Gracie's. What Gracie did better in national was the height, but it's not like Kim under-rotated.
So considering everything, please show me a link and illustrate why Gracie's jumps is better. Or better, compare all the other triple jumps? I'll give you that Gracie has much better 3lo although not that consistent, which is why I said she's a better all-around jumper.
Others seem to prefer YuNa's proven track record of consistency.
There's nothing wrong with people having different preferences in what they look for in jumps.
If we try to build a linear model, we should take all the things into account. Assigning the weight is another story, though.

Whenever make summary or judgment without stating 'it's my personal preference', you have to provide evidence, use statistics to support your ideas, and show correlation to the conclusions you make. That's what I will call good argument.
Talking about Yuna always drag out the best characters. LOL.
I would squeeze Shizuka in there somewhere, though I know that several people here have pointed out that she underrotated sometimes. For me what is impressive about her triple-triples is their longevity. She maintained them way past her competitive career and also did quite a few different kinds.
Slutskaya had beautiful spring on her jumps. I seem to remember that another skater with that quality was Viktoria Volchkova (which I hope I spelled correctly), but that she was not consistent. Does anyone have any thoughts about her?
Talking about American ladies always drag out the best characters. LOL.
I also like when someone can't win the argument, he/she has to give in and make sarcasm instead which totally shows how weak his/her argument is. How typical it is! Love it!

Blood drive honors local man
KINGPORT, Tenn. - A Kingsport company is doing its part to help blood supplies in the region.
A State Farm Agency in Kingsport held a blood drive in honor of a co-worker's husband Mike Wilder who passed away in March.
Mike's wife Donna says the blood drive is being held in his memory because he was a frequent blood and platelet donor and she understands the importance if giving in the summer months when many people are unable to donate.
"It's a great holiday week. We're celebrating our independence and it's just such a great week where everyone is family and community orientate anyway, so we thought it'd be a great time," says Donna Wilder.
We're told about 50-people showed up to donate blood at Wednesday's drive.

Airbus continues its focus on the next generation of engineers from various backgrounds, who will be ready to design more electric-aircraft of the future, identify sustainable solutions for aviation, define new materials or confront other challenges.
As part of Airbus' sustained outreach to young people interested in aviation careers, the first-ever Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC) Airbus Diversity Award winner was selected this month, chosen for encouraging students of all backgrounds to pursue engineering and be successful in the field.
Candidates for the honor – created and sponsored by Airbus in partnership with GEDC – were judged on their initiatives to promote diversity, as well as measurable results and their programmes' potential to affect on-going change in this area.
"Airbus is a global business with customers from different cultures, and diversity increases our ability to come up with innovative ideas for future challenges," said Charles Champion, Airbus' Executive Vice President Engineering, who also was Chair of the Evaluation Committee for this award. "Our role at Airbus is to go beyond the existing developments and attract the next generation of people with the passion for aviation – through new outreach efforts like this award, as well as the Fly Your Ideas competition and the Future by Airbus concept."
Ana Lazarin of Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas, USA, was chosen for the Diversity Award. The other two finalists were Catherine Pieronek from the U.S.-based University of Notre Dame, and Maria Angeles Martin Prats from the University of Seville in Spain.
For Champion, the three finalists' level of personal commitment to developing diversity in the industry is a bright sign for the future – and for Airbus.
"Engineering is about engaging people toward delivering innovative solutions for the future," Champion added. "Our goal is to attract the brightest students to this field from diverse walks of life."

Domenik Hixon was 1 of the Giants who did little to kill the idea that Rueben Randle's work ethic is an issue:
"We've been trying to set an example for him to kind of follow the whole working and football (idea), when you come to the Giants' facility we're working," Hixon said. "(He's) just trying to get his feet underneath him with the schedule and everything. Probably one of the most odd things is at (pro) football you go home, you don't go to class, so that's your study time, that's when you study tape and do different things like that. Just getting adjusted to the schedule."

how is that eli calling out randle? that tweet could be said for everyone including eli himself. i've heard eli say he needs to prepare better and limit his mistakes so many times. we just lost,i'd imagine eli would say that about every single player on the team, himself included.

UConn wrestled away a big road win on Thursday night.
The Huskies stand at 14-5 overall, 4-3 in the Big East, after a hard-fought 82-79 overtime win at Providence.
It was their first win at the Dunkin' Donuts Center since 2006, ending a three-game road losing streak.
"Just a hell of a win…," Ollie said. "We found a way to overcome. They dug deep to get this win. It wasn't easy."
Here's your post-game breakdown:
-- Let's start with rebounding.
The numbers are staggering.
Odds are that it has been a long time since any college basketball team was out-rebounded by such large margin (55-24) and still won.
"That's terrible," said sophomore Ryan Boatright of the deficit.
The deficit tied a Big East record for rebounding margin. St. John's held a 64-33 edge over Seton Hall on Feb. 26, 1997. St. John'swon, 66-62.
So how did UConn still win?
Well, the Huskies played long stretches of terrific defense, limiting the Friars to 33.8 percent from the field.
Providence also failed to take full advantage of a whopping 28 offensive rebounds, scoring just 18 second chance points.
Four different Friars had more rebounds than any Husky. DeAndre Daniels led UConn with seven. LaDontae Henton had a game-high 13 for the Friars.
UConn did manage to battle even (3-3) on the boards in overtime.
"We got the crucial ones when it counted," Ollie said.
-- Freshman Omar Calhoun hit the biggest shot of his young career, sinking a go-ahead 3-pointer with 41 seconds left in overtime.
"It was big time," Ollie said.
Boatright found an open Calhoun in the corner after driving the baseline and drawing a crowd of defenders
"When I went up, I knew (the defense) was going to collapse and I just kicked it out, and he knocked it down," Boatright said.
Calhoun said that he knew when he released the ball that it would go in.
"It felt good," said Calhoun who finished with 13 points.
-- In the first half, Boatright limped off the court after rolling his right ankle. He returned after a short break and finished with a team-best 19 points and seven assists. He played a team-high 42 minutes.
"He had a little tweak in his ankle," Ollie said. "But he's a fighter. … One possession and then he was back in the game."
Boatright: "I knew in order for us to win I had to get back out there and play and help my team. I just sucked it up."
He also has been dealing with tendinitis in his left knee.
-- For the first time, two former Eastern Connecticut Conference players met in a Big East game.
PC freshman Kris Dunn ofNew London played hard but had a tough shooting night, going 1-for-7 from the field and 5-for-8 from the line. He finished with seven points and a career-high tying eight rebounds in 31 minutes.
He also made a big defensive play, blocking Boatright's game-winning attempt at the end of regulation.
UConn reserve R.J. Evans, a Norwich Free Academy graduate, had two points, two assists, one block and one steal in seven minutes.
-- Napier continues to be Mr. Clutch. He scored eight of UConn's 13 points in overtime and finished with 18 overall. He took just five shots, making four, and converted seven of 10 free throws.
He hit three of four free throws in the final 18.7 seconds of overtime to close out the win.
"I made the last three, but I'm upset over how many I missed," Napier said.
-- Boatright did a decent defensive job on Bryce Cotton, the Big East leading scorer. Cotton, who came in averaging 21.7 points, had 18 points on just 4-for-15 shooting.
-- Whistle-happy referees called a total of 55 fouls – 28 on UConn, 27 on PC. Daniels, center Enosch Wolf and forward Tyler Olander all fouled out in overtime.
"I didn't have any four or five man left at the end of the game, but we had each other," Ollie said.
PC senior Vincent Council also fouled out in the extra session.
-- Olander played despite suffering from flu-like symptoms. He had more fouls (5) than points and rebounds combined (2) in 12 minutes. He also had two blocks.
-- The Huskies raced out to a 25-10 lead and then bogged down against a zone defense. They led 33-32 at intermission.
-- UConn improved to 2-1 in overtime games this season. The Huskies beat Quinnipiac, 89-83, in double overtime on Nov. 18 at the Virgin Islands Paradise Jam and lost atMarquette, 82-76, on Jan. 1.
-- PC coach Ed Cooley made a surprising lineup change, moving Council and Henton to the bench. He started Lee Goldsbrough and Ted Bancroft, two players that came in averaging a combined 2.9 points per game.
-- Some positives: The Huskies shot 50 percent from the field and had 20 assists compared to 11 turnovers. They also had a season-high 10 blocks.
"We just found a way to win," Boatright said.
-- Napier: "We made the big plays down at the end and that's what helped us win the game."
-- Up next: UConn hosts South Florida Sunday afternoon in Storrs.

I am eagerly looking for the following reference:
CONNOR L, 2004. Stimulating drone development during winter in Florida. Bee Culture.132:27-29
It's apparently a review of Larry Connor's experience with raising drone in counter-season, for more accurate maitings.
I am myself not a subscriber for long enough for that magazine neither have I been able ot source it online so far.
Hopefully someone from the beesource community would have the magazine in his/her bookshelves and would not mind to scan and email a copy to me.
Alternatively someone might know ab out an online resource centre where I could trace the article back.
Thank you very much for your help.

Living Beautifully
with Uncertainty and ChangeWe live in difficult times. Life sometimes seems like a roiling and turbulent river threatening to drown us and destroy the world. Why, then, shouldn't we cling to the certainty of the shore—to our familiar patterns and habits? Because, Pema Chödrön teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more satisfying experience of being fully alive.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A man who admitted to sexual assault on a child could spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Spc. Joe Alfred Garcia, who was stationed at Fort Carson, pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust in December of 2013.
On February 26, 2014, a judge sentenced Garcia to 30 years to life in prison.
Garcia was arrested for sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl.
Police say the investigation into Garcia began when Homeland Security Investigations in Boston found pornographic photos of Garcia and the girl online.
Garcia was living on Welch Circle, near Airport and Murray in the Springs, and prior to that lived on Hunting Meadows Circle near Chelton and Murray.
Garcia was with the Warrior Transition Battalion at Ft. Carson. He was originally from Pasadena, CA and had been with the military for more than five years.

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 17, January 6, 1995
T3D in the News
The following article appeared in the December 23rd issue of the Wall Street Journal:
Cray Research Inc.
Computer Systems Picked By DOE's Los Alamos Lab
Cray Research Inc., Eagan, Minn., said the Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory has selected its high performance computing systems to ensure the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile.
As a result of the competitive procurement win, a 256-processor CRAY T3D massively parallel processing system and an interim four-processor CRAY Y-MP supercomputer system are scheduled to be installed this month at Los Alamos. In 1995, Los Alamos expects to upgrade the CRAY T3D system to 512 processors and to replace the CRAY Y-MP System with a four-processor version of Cray Research's next-generation parallel vector supercomputer system, code-named Triton, the supercomputer maker said. Financial terms weren't disclosed.This is a pretty interesting article by itself, but does anyone know who else was part of the "competitive procurement"?

GETTING HELP Enter Result ----------- ------------------------------------ h Help about the current command h 'command' Help about 'command' h navigate Help about navigational commands h overview More detailed introduction to DocviewThe reason I brought up docview in this newsletter is that several new T3D manuals have been made available through docview recently. The list of online manuals available through docview for the T3D is shown below:
List of Available Documents by Date Last Submitted:
Date Docname Manual Title ---- ------- ------------ Dec 9 1994 pvm.hence.40 PVM and HeNCE Manual (SR-2501 4.0) Dec 9 1994 mpp.stdc.40 Standard C Ref.

Manual (SR-2504 6.0)There are a couple of limitations with docview:
- For each document there is a list of keywords for which the find command will return a description. Sometimes you have to list the keywords to know what you are looking for.
- If "a picture is worth a thousand words" then docview loses information in 1000 word chunks. Because docview is all ascii text files there is no easy way to reproduce the postscript pictures found in the hard copy manuals.
For PVM programmers, the pvm.hence.40 document contains some interesting new information and it would be worthwhile to write the entire document to a file and just peruse it with an editor.
Man Page TricksAs helpful as docview is, there is nothing as pleasing as to find a man page on a new command or function. But the problem of finding the right man page is the same as using a dictionary to check your spelling, you have to know what you're looking for. On top of this, "man" as a unix command is case sensitive (try man abort and man ABORT).
I learned a trick from Dr. Ming Jiang some time ago that might help finding the right man page. There is a file, /usr/man/whatis, that contains a one line description of each man page. The first few lines looks like:
abort(3C) - Generates an abnormal process termination abort(3F) - Requests abort with traceback ABORT(3F) (see abort(3F)) - Requests abort with traceback abs(3C) - Returns the integer or long integer absolute value abs(3M) - Computes absolute value ABS(3M) (see abs(3M)) - Computes absolute value . . .With this file, easy searches can be made to find out what man pages are available. For example:
egrep -i PVM /usr/man/whatisproduces (-i make the search case insensitive):
PVFCHDSTSETUP(3) (see pvm_channels(3)) - Sends and receives messages over a pvm(1) - PVM version 3 console pvm_addhosts(3) - Adds or deletes one or more systems pvm_barrier(3) - Creates a barrier to synchronize tasks pvm_bcast(3) (see pvm_send(3)) - Sends a message or messages ... 120 deleted lines ... pvm_upkstr(3) (see pvm_upk(3)) - Extracts values from received messages pvm_upkuint(3) (see pvm_upk(3)) - Extracts values from received messages pvm_upkulong(3) (see pvm_upk(3)) - Extracts values from received messages pvm_upkushort(3) (see pvm_upk(3)) - Extracts values from received messagesBut even beyond this there is the "man -k keyword" command that not only does the egrep on the file /usr/man/whatis but all also egreps the file /usr/man/local/whatis. This file contains the list of man pages added by ARSC for libraries and commands available at ARSC.
Phase II I/O on the T3DARSC is evaluating the effort of moving from the current Phase I I/O to Phase II I/O on the T3D. In future newsletters I can summarize the differences, but for now I would like to ask if any ARSC users are interested in this upgrade or would want to be part of the evaluation?

Reviews of this property
Nice cottage with a view to the Como lake. Clean, tidy and cozy apartment. Location very peaceful (except bells of the three nearby church, heh heh.) Path to the village of Argegno by walking is very attractive and has many great views to the lake, village and mountains cathering the lake. But, the path is not for those with bad legs or knees. It climbs from the lake shore so much, that it takes a little bit more time to reach the apartment than expected. Downwards appr. 10 mins. and upwards appr. 20 mins. Claudia was a perfect hostess, symphatetic and helpful. Highly recommended, if you not afraid of the path and a little bit hard walking. You can reach the cottage also by car almost to the yard. Car is necessary if you travel along the lake road to the other villages and cities by your own time table.
A nice little guest house with stunning views of Lake Como.
There were the necessary facilities and the location is beautiful, without too much tourism in the city.
The place is recommendable, but car is required to get around.
Lovely and helpful host.
Great place to stay. On the hill, just outside Argegno. The road is busy but the flat is set back and above the road, so that's no bother. Easy parking, and its a simple walk down to town using the pedestrianised streets, ie. not on the main road :) Flat is well equipped with a lovely balcony overlooking the lake. Claudia was a fantastic host, making sure we had all we needed on arrival and during our stay, and gave us a lovely present for our new baby, due in September, and a nice welcome bottle to celebrate our honeymoon! Would happily stay again,hopefully we will!
Claudia has a very nice place in Argegno in a very friendly local village. A perfect place to start tours from to the whole Como lake district.
We had great two days in Claudia's house. It's a nice, small house on the top of Argegno with a beautiful view to Lago di Como. Inside it was very clean and comfortable. Everything was great. Thanks a lot, best regards.
We greatly appreciated the housing, equipment, sasituation between Como and Mennagio, its fantastic view of the lake in the morning sun in winter, it was ideal.
Claudia has received us and we will return.
patricia & jean pierre
Nous avons apprécié grandement le logement, son équipement, sasituation entre Come et Mennagio, sa vue fantastique sur le lac le matin au soleil en hiver, c'était bien l'idéal.
Claudia nous a bien reçu et nous reviendrons.
patricia & jean pierre
Argegno was the perfect place for a long weekend. Claudia was the good hostess and the house was perfect overlooking the lake. We can only recommend this place!
Argegno var det perfekte sted til en lang weekend. Claudia var den gode værtinde og huset lå perfekt med udsigt ud over søen. Vi kan kun anbefale dette sted!
Me and my boyfriend stayed in the home of Claudia on the occasion of All Saints. An unforgettable weekend in a wonderful house, clean, warm with all the services ..... within a 5-minute walk from the shore of the lake and the center of the village .. with a breathtaking view of the lake!! The owner of the house was very friendly, hospitable, friendly and super helpful to us during our stay, from the reception to start! Ideal to spend some time away from the chaos of the city (in our case we live in Genoa) and why not for a romantic weekend with your partner (as in our case). All superlative, never any trouble of any kind. Highly recommended!! A wonderful place where we left the heart. Seeing is believing!!
Io e il mio fidanzato abbiamo soggiornato nella casa di Claudia in occasione del ponte di Ognissanti. Un week end assolutamente indimenticabile in una casa meravigliosa,pulita,calda dotata di tutti i servizi.....ubicata a 5 minuti a piedi dalla riva del lago e dal centro del paesino.. con una vista sul lago mozzafiato!!!!! La proprietaria di casa è stata molto cordiale,ospitale,gentile e super disponibile con noi durante il nostro soggiorno,dall'accoglienza alla partenza! Ideale per trascorrere un periodo fuori dal caos della città ( nel nostro caso viviamo a Genova) e perchè no per un week end romantico con il proprio partner (come nel nostro caso). Tutto superlativo, mai nessun problema di nessun tipo. Consigliatissimo !!!! Un posto meraviglioso dove abbiamo lasciato il cuore. Provare per credere!!!!!!
During our short visit to Lake Como autumn we met with a very nice hostess Claudia, a beautiful small cottage and a wonderful landscape. Recommended, among other things, a hike along the greenway de Como. Also the evening return to the RapidBoot crisscross the lake will remain in our fond memories. The house is way less Dizzaso, but actually on the outskirts of Argegno, so not quite as high as it Dizzasco and closer to the lake.
Bei unserem Kurzbesuch am herbstlichen Comer See haben wir mit Claudia eine sehr nette Gastgeberin, ein schönes kleines Häuschen und eine wundervolle Landschaft kennen gelernt. Empfehlenswert ist unter anderem eine Wanderung über den GreenWay de Como. Auch die abendliche Rückfahrt mit dem Rapidboot kreuz und quer über den See wird uns in guter Erinnerung bleiben. Das Ferienhaus liegt übrigens weniger in Dizzaso, sondern eigentlich am Ortsrand von Argegno, also nicht ganz so hoch wie Dizzasco und dafür näher am See.

My 70,000+ 2011 V Coupe is among the worst cars I have ever owned. The fit, finish and overall quality is in a word...dismal.Those seeking a high performance coupe need to look elsewhere!
I'm surprised you even bought it, if noticeable at first problems such as fit and finish are your main gripes against the CTS V Coupe.
Why did you buy that car if you saw the vivid problems?
autolover:Why did you buy that car if you saw the vivid problems?I remember when I bought my Fit, I wasn't impressed with the cheap materials Honda used on it, especially the carpeting. It's one of the worst or lowest grade carpets I've ever seen in my life. A dashboard rattle I heard during the test drive turned me off too. I still decided it was worth the compromise at the time. I'd like to at least find a way to get the annoying rattle fixed one day. Acceleration annoys me too when merging onto the expressway at times. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with the Fit.

Schlage Biometric Readers Protects U. of Wisconsin Students
Students Peck School of the Arts on the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) campus raised money to install Schlage Handkey biometric readers after a string of intrusions in the six-building complex.
By SSI Staff · March 7, 2014
MILWAUKEE — Students at the Peck School of the Arts on the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) campus funded a project that led to the installation of Schlage HandKey readers to stop intrusions at the six-building complex.
To choose a good access control solution, the students discussed options with the university's integrator, Randy Trumbull-Holper, director of facilities for the Peck School of the Arts, explains.
"We asked Anixter what would be a good solution to stop homeless people and strangers from entering the buildings, where art students can be found working on projects day and night," he says. "They, along with a locksmith on our campus, suggested that the students consider biometric hand readers."
Although the UWM students wanted to deploy a biometric solution, they were wary of any solution that recorded fingerprints. After learning about the Schlage Handkey reader's hand geometry technology, the pupils felt more comfortable with the solution, according to Trumball-Holper.
The Handkey reader simultaneously analyzes more than 31,000 points and instantaneously records more than 90 separate measurements of an individual's hand, including length, width, thickness and surface area, to verify the person's identity, according to the manufacturer. In conjunction with entering a pin number, now only registered art students are able to gain access to the facilities.
In addition to the solution's high level of security, the students appreciated the simplicity of the process because they would no longer need to bring special ID cards or keyfobs to the school.
As a result, Anixter placed 13 readers on the exteriors of the buildings while several others are installed to manage access via certain elevators.
The UWM administration also was happy that the HandKey readers could operate as a standalone system and store authorized users in each unit without having to integrate with the campus' entire access control system. Another advantage that hand readers provide is that they still perform effectively if art students have stained or paint-splashed hands, a very important consideration in this type of application.
Trumbull-Holper, who has a team that helps enroll the students and faculty, manages the system with Schlage HandNet for Windows.
"Every year, we update the students enrolled in the system," says Trumbull-Holper. "Any student who took just one class and no longer needs access to our buildings is removed. Because this system was fully paid for by the students, we plan to keep it for a long time. To do anything else would be a disservice to something the students wanted and paid for themselves."
