As one of its most brilliant venues celebrates its 10th anniversary, Portland is treated to one of the most colorful and engaging art shows of the summer. In "RGB: the Jungle," the mysterious Italian art and design duo Carnovsky have fashioned enormous, radically complex wallpaper reproductions of jungle life from natural history engravings. Their drawings are rendered in multicolored inks according to a unique thematic system and layered congruently in complex kaleidoscopic textures, wilderness scenes quite literally in each other's midst. The result is surreal and dizzyingly evocative when viewed under conventional lighting, but the individual scenes take on haunting dimensions when viewed under filters and colored lights, with elements vanishing and appearing under each setting.
While some might find these chromatic obsessions little more than a fun house gag, "RGB" is about much more than what meets — and eludes — the eye. Its unorthodox methodology so has its way with the viewer that to some extent the show is about focus, patience, and disorientation. SPACE's four light settings are set to timers of about 15 seconds apiece, so a thorough examination of even the smaller circular designs on the gallery's east wall takes considerably longer than, say, the five second average visitors spend observing a painting in a museum.
Carnovsky — namely Francesco Rugi and Silvia Quintanilla — receive the bulk of their attention from international design and lifestyle journals and their wallpaper is commercially available at their website, suggesting the whimsical world of European design might be their "proper" home. But not even the boldest interior design choices require numerous, specalized, and temporally ordered light bulbs and settings in order to appreciate. Carnovsky's work changes a fundamental piece of its viewing environment, a trait which gives it the stamp of installation work. At SPACE — a nontraditional gallery but a white box all the same — the "RGB" drawings pass remarkably well as traditional museum fare: large, flat, optically engaging and richly figurative drawings which more or less engage any gallery visitor's reflexive appreciation for formal sensibility.
While the group's standing in the greater art spectrum is a slippery one, this sort of art production schizophrenia is one we might do well to embrace. The obvious solution is to observe all three of Carnovsky's aesthetic selves at once. Their multipronged identity makes a nice conceptual parallel to the haunting, oneiric collection of jungle scenes the duo have fashioned for the gallery walls, where teeming hordes of woodland creatures dissolve into loping vegetation before vanishing into formidable towers of piggybacking mammals, then back again.
Conceivably, Rugi and Quintanilla could draw anything according to the RGB method — their possible subjects are seemingly limitless in the disjointed, quasi-narrative juxtapositions of three vanishing scenes. So it's revealing that they deal almost exclusively in the kingdoms of living things. The plants, animals, insects, and humanoid figures contained within Carnovsky's wallpaperings awakens an awareness of the density and interconnectedness of our own ecologies, representing not only the inhabitants of our natural environment, but of our domestic, aesthetic, and psychological ones as well.

Olivier is a great host! The apartment is really nice and in a great location. The only minor issue is that it is quite noisy in the evenings and quite warm.
Un grands merci a Olivier. Olivier is a very kind host and gives excellent tips for acitivities in Lyon. His appartment is directly located at Place de Terreaux from where we could reach the Metro in about two minutes. To Rue Mercier wih a lot of nice, traditional French restaurants we had to walk about 10 minutes only.
Thanks again Olivier, we really enjoyed our stay in Lyon during Euro 2016:).
Olivier is just like the feedbacks written by his guests : a great host. His flat is perfectly located, clean and convenient. We had a great time at Olivier's.
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time in Olivier's apartment! The location is perfect, the room absolutely well decorated and cozy and Olivier was a great host. I absolutely recommend staying here! :) Would do it again if I am ever back to Lyon!
We was 3 days the guests in Olivier`s nice flat in the centre of lyon. It was very easy to communicate
with him and also to fix the arriving details with sms and e-mails was very good and fast! I and my girlfriend can recommend Olivier as a host for 100%. We enjoyed this days very much and maybe we come back someday! :-)
Thanks for everything, have a good time Olivier
Staying at Olivier's place was nice. Very central location and Olivier was a very friendly and welcoming host. He also answered our questions beforehand really quick. Would definitely recommend.
La casa è molto carina, pulita e accogliente. È posizionata perfettamente sia per pa vita serale che per una passeggiata giornaliera!
Assolutamente consigliata
Séjour très agréable garce à l'appartement d'Olivier. Localisation idéale, chambre confortable, rien à redire, nous étions "comme à la maison".
La localisation centrale possède également son inconvénient, il est possible d'avoir du bruit aux heures de sorties des lieux de nuits.
Je recommande cet hôte, n'hésitez plus à réserver cette chambre !

Children and HIV
Most HIV-positive children under the age of 13 are infected during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Better treatment and prevention strategies have helped to lower HIV infection rates for children in the United States.
If your child has been diagnosed with HIV, or you are caring for a child with HIV, here are some things to remember:
- Antibody tests for HIV are not accurate for newborns because the results often reflect the mother's antibodies to HIV. Those maternal antibodies can remain in an infant's system up to 18 months.
- Typically, it takes 2-3 months for an accurate diagnosis of HIV in an infant. Most HIV tests look for antibodies to HIV, rather than the virus itself. HIV tests for infants use a technique that amplifies and detects small amounts of the actual virus in the baby's blood.
- 20 % of children will acquire an opportunistic infection within their first year of life.
- Children with HIV may be slower to reach developmental milestones.
- Many children with HIV reach adolescence without issue, and maintain relatively intact immune systems.
- Children with HIV suffer the usual childhood infections more frequently and more severely than uninfected children. These infections can cause recurrent colds, fever, diarrhea, dehydration, fungal infections (including persistent diaper rash), pneumonia, seizures, and other problems that can cause nutritional problems and may result in extended hospital stays.
- Children can also be susceptible to the same opportunistic infections as adults. In addition, they are susceptible to a lung disease called lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis (LIP), which is rarely seen in adults. This condition, like Pneumocystis pneumonia PCP, can make breathing progressively more difficult and often results in hospitalization.
- While principles for treating HIV are similar in adults and children, healthcare providers must also consider age-related differences in CD4 cell counts, and medication toxicities.
- Children often face other issues related to living with HIV disease, including, family issues, bullying and medication adherence. As children age into adolescence they may also begin to face issues regarding sex and physical appearance.
For more information, see NIH's HIV Infection in Infants and Children.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do children with HIV typically live?
Because effective treatments are relatively new in the course of the epidemic, we do not know what HIV will look like over a long-term (50-60 years) infection. But many young adults and adolescents who have lived with HIV since they were born are living productive and healthy lives.
Can HIV affect my child's performance in school?
Children living with HIV can face developmental challenges related to the disease. With advice and treatment from trained professionals, these challenges can be addressed.

The Watercolour Society of Ireland evolved in the late nineteenth century from an amateur drawing society set up in Lismore, Co. Waterford. Since its foundation there have been over a thousand members of the society, many of whom have made a valuable contribution to the history of Irish art and the promotion of works on paper.
This exhibition celebrated 150 years of the Watercolour Society of Ireland's annual shows and included over 40 works highlighting some of the best examples of work by past members. Among the familiar names represented were Rose Barton, Harry Clarke, Letitia Hamilton, Jack Hanlon, Mainie Jellett, Kitty Wilmer O'Brien, and Anne Yeats. The exhibits were drawn from the Gallery's permanent collection as well as loans from public and private collections in Ireland.

if the Giants ***** slap the Eagles this weekend then yes.....they smell the blood. If they take a dumpo then they are the blood.....
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
A team like the Ravens was getting shredded by Michael Vick cuz he had plenty of time in the pocket.
This team's secondary was getting blasted last year and we won a SB because of our D-line play making our backend look good.
It is all about the D-line by and large.
True, your defense is D-line heavy and weaker on the back end. However, the Giants pass rush isn't exactly performing all that well so far this season. It is the Eagles defense who has the better pass rush (and better secondary on top of that). LB play is a wash thus far.
But it's a divisional game. All bets are off at any rate. No point in really diving into the the ins and outs of matchups in this game.
Go Eagles Baby!

Burn or Succeed: Midseason TV
Check out the ultimate battle for supremacy with Playboy.com's Burn or Succeed! First up, Mid-Season Television!
Each week we break down a topic of interest by survivability rate compared to its competitors. You will even have a chance to weigh-in on our choice via a poll. Have a dispute to settle? Your team versus your girlfriend's making the playoffs? Pepperoni or Hawaiian Pizza? - Bring it on, let us be the judge of what will ultimately BURN or SUCCEED!
This week, we bring you the network-injected life supports for primetime TV: The Mid-Season Replacements.
Mid-season television shows are brought in for a variety of reasons; some are planned to take over the spot after a reality series concludes while others are a last-chance shot to save a network's ratings following a disastrous performance of a fall show. Some networks like the CW have all their scheduled shows still in place, while others like FOX have four shows debuting.
Ladies and Gentleman, prepare for your new favorite shows to BURN or SUCCEED.
THE DRAMAS: THE FINDER vs. TOUCH The Finder (FOX - Thursday @ 9 p.m.)
Now heading into its fourth week, this Bones spin-off features Walter Sherman (Geoff Stults), as a former military man with a sixth sense for finding the impossible. In a quirky way, this show is geared towards those who enjoy a good mystery but want to be entertained outside the usual trifecta of detective settings (lab, courtroom, or interrogation room). While enjoyable to watch in action (cue shark helmets and paintballing crime lords), Sherman lacks a certain element of empathy, but only because we get more out of his partner Leo (The Green Mile's Michael Clarke Duncan). While the show got off to a slow start, its ratings have starkly improved since its lead-in switched from Bones to American Idol. As long as henchman keep wearing yellow tracksuits and the hot female villain dons her bikini while tooting her trumpet; we'll keep watching for the sheer absurdity and crafty plot lines.
Verdict: More likely to Succeed than not.
TOUCH (FOX - Premieres March 19)
Watch the Pilot: HERE
Bridging a fine line between a human drama and a supernatural show, Touch tells the story of Martin Bohm (24's Kiefer Sutherland) as he tries to understand the strange Fibonacci sequences his mute 11-year old son Jake has been creating. To the viewer, Jake acts as a narrator of this powerful and sentimental story; one that reaches from America, to Baghdad, London, and Tokyo. Almost a continuation of the 2006 film Babel, this drama is well acted, plotted, and offers just as many groundbreaking moments as it does questions. The show develops the human condition, and exemplifies it on a global scale. We can't wait for it to continue in March, and based on the numbers from the pilot preview last week, neither can you.
Verdict: Very likely to Succeed past its 8-episode first season.
Next Up: The Comedies, click below
THE COMEDIES: ARE YOU THERE, CHELSEA? vs. NAPOLEON DYNAMITE
Are You There, Chelsea? (NBC - Wednesday @ 8:30 p.m.)
Based on the hilarious book, Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea by comedian Chelsea Handler, Are You There, Chelsea? is yet another retelling of the lives, antics, and escapades of a local watering hole's staff. Chelsea (That 70's Show's Laura Prepon) seems to be at home recycling a familiar character. This show is just another sitcom that can go straight to DVR for the after bar comedy lineup. This isn't a jab at the acting, but the scenario just isn't funny anymore. Though, if NBC were to completely restructure it around Chelsea's awesomely innocent roommate Dee Dee (Laren Lapkus), we would be on our couches five minutes early each week: bring on the cat whisperer!
Verdict: Based on the ratings and slowly-declining audience, we're going to have to say the show is about to Burn.
Napoleon Dynamite (FOX - Sunday @ 8:30 p.m.)
A follow-up to the 2004 cult-favorite film, the animated Napoleon Dynamite fits at home in FOX's ever popular Sunday lineup which has kept even The Simpsons alive for a record to-be 25 seasons. Continuing the inarticulate adventures of Napoleon and his rural Idahoan friends, the show is genuinely 30 minutes of senseless humor. Lacking the depth of Springfield, and the adult themes of American Dad or Family Guy; Napoleon finds its audience with those in the Dumb and Dumber crowd. After seeing a couple million viewers drop off after the first episode; this may end up on the back burner faster than you can say Liger.
Verdict: Needs to add some adult laughs to keep its audience, or will eventually Burn (may get a renewal this year though).
Next up: The Paranormals, click below
THE PARANORMALS: THE RIVER vs. ALCATRAZ The River (ABC - Premieres February 7 @ 9 p.m.)
Coming from the lord of all jungle-based endeavors (Steven Spielberg), and the horror-pacing mastermind behind the Paranormal Activity films (Oren Peli); The River tells the story of world renowned explorer Dr. Emmet Cole (Star Trek's Bruce Greenwood, channeling the late Steve Irwin), who goes missing aboard his ship in the Amazon basin. Coaxed by a TV network into investigating a rescue beacon that goes off six months after his disappearance, Emmet's wife and son head into the midst to discover Emmet had been toying with things that are far worse than man-eating anacondas or venomous spiders. Shot in the style of a documentary movie, we are forced into a world of historic exploration, South American myth and enough creepy occurrences to keep your skin crawling for hours. The addition of interlaced clips of film, both from the "lost six months," and from years past on Emmet's TV show gives viewers an intriguing view of how the world of this seemingly perfect family could go so deadly wrong. Remember: if you go looking for the unknown, you may not like what you find…you know, unless it's the captivating Eloise Mumford as Lena.
Verdict: Potential to Succeed, but no ratings until next week's premiere.
Alcatraz (FOX - Monday @ 9 p.m.)
From the moment we hear Emerson Hauser (Jurassic Park's Sam Neill) utter his opening monologue about the historic prison outside of San Francisco, you are drawn into a web of interconnected enigmas of what happened in a fictional 1963. A great mystery story that brings together a relative newcomer (series lead Sarah Jones), a fan favorite (LOST's Jorge Garcia), and a disturbing intellectual (Niell); Alcatraz succeeds in its mission of combining a villain-of-the-hour show. The paranormal aspect is omnipresent, with the blatant question of how this occurrence is happening and who is behind it. With over 300 people disappearing in one night, we are left with enough potential storylines for at least 10 seasons. That being said, if the ratings hold at their current values, we may have to wait a while before getting more background on this.
Verdict: Potential to Succeed if enough paranormal hints are dropped to avoid becoming NCIS: San Fran.

When I got in I noticed my courtesy lights were on, which is normal but as I was going down the road, I noticed they didn't go off so I opened my door and closed it then tried the switches to make them go off and the switches both click but the lights stay on. The only way I can get them to go off is by pulling the fuse but then the Cargo Lamp On message comes on in the message center. I'd like to get this fixed but I am no electrician and I am clueless as where to start.

|Check-in before
The positive points:
- Isik is a pleasant person and answers quiclky to your requests.
- The apartment is closed from Taksim place and from public transports (metro, tramway, shuttle to the Ataturk airport, in a quiet street, at the last floor.
- the building and the apartment are safe
_ kitchen is well-equipped but it is better to eat outside because you can find easily food & drinks cheaps to Istanbul
- Balcony to see Istanbul
The negative points:
- 3 floors not easy to go upstairs until the apartment (even with empty hands) for persons who are not young (we have got 50 years old)
- Apartment is clean overall but not very well maintained, as follows:
1) Not very good bedding
2) Painting to restore in the apartment
3) Bathroom to restore also (mainly shower and lighting
4) Old TV set and internet cables to the box need to be changed
5) Balcony is not very safe (no protective barriers and can be dangerous for young people)
6) old wobbly chairs
So to conclude the apartment could be better after a few changes and some restorations.
Appropriate for not demanding persons
Great stay, nice apartment, beautiful view over Istanbul. Central stay at Taksim Square with easy access to public transport.
Isik was very friendly and helpful during the entire stay and always easy to contact. We will definitely come back!
We stayed three days in Isiks apartment and had a very great time. The apartment ist beautiful and has everything you need: air conditioning, kitchen, comfy bed, much space, drinking water... From the terrasse we had an amazing view over Istanbul and could watch the amazing sunset. The apartment is very close to taksim square and therefore perfectly located for sightseeing, boat trips and shopping. Isik was available at any time to help us and give great advise (e.g. where to go and how to come there). The Istanbulcard which he provided was very useful for public transport. Isik is the perfect host and we would recommend his apartments at any time and hope to come back some time soon. Thank you very much!
we had a wonderful time in a great city in a perfect appartment. The location is ideal, Taksim square around the corner and the flat in a quiet street. We enjoyed sunny moments on the terrace with a great view accompanied by lovely cats. The flat was very clean, beds of good quality, drinking water was provided as well. The Istanbulkart was given to us by Isik so that we could use it straight away. Isik is a very friendly person offering his help/support any time. Even a late/early arrival at 2 o`clock in the morning was no problem. We truly enjoyed being at his place and hope to come back some time. Thank you!
Isik was a perfect host. Our Airport Transportation has Isik perfectly organized. The apartment is well equipped and has a beautiful terrace with views over the city. We felt very comfortable and would definitely come back there.
Thank you Isik.
Very cosy and clean apartment, which is very well located in af quiet street just a few minutes walk from Taksim. The balcony is just wonderful with a fantastic view over Istanbul. Isik - the very friendly and helpfull owner - has put chairs, table and sunshade out on the balcony, so you can sit here enjoying your meals,, your life and the wonderful view. We will be back !
First of all I have to thank isik for making our stay so comfortable and easy. Thank you very much for being so kind and helpful!
The apartment is located 5 minutes from Taksim square, so directly in the center. Just go walking distance from many restaurants, bars and the most famous shopping street.
You can easily get a taxi if you just walk down the little street where the apartment is located. Also, there are plenty of small 24/7 open shops, that provide all kinds of foods, drinks, newspaper, cigarettes. Everything you basically need
The flat is on the rooftop, you have to take some stairs up, but it's a good workout ;-) once you're on the balcony and enjoy the view, you'll be amazed. The view is truly fantastic andwe spent many hours just enjoying the terrace, wine, music and the view before hitting some nightclubs. All day, you can enjoy the sun. It's amazing.
The bed is very comfortable, you have a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need. Fridge is huge and you even have an ice fridge. Clean bottled water was provide which was very nice :) bathroom is big enough, with a shower and toilet.
We had a really nice stay, isik was a wonderful helpful host. We sure will come back
I can really recommend staying at this place. Location is amazing.
Isik was very friendly & helpful, and the flat was very clean & well-located. 5 minute walk to Taksim Square & Metro. Will stay again on any future visit to Istanbul!
My sister and I had a very pleasant stay in the nice studio from Isik (Taksim nr 3). It was clean and had a lot of space and the location is good. The view from the balcony is stunning.Isik is a perfect host. He makes sure you've got evrything you need. He provides a perfect taxi service to and from the airport. We would recommend this appartment to our friends and family and would go there ourselves again in future. Thank you Isik!

@luffarjohanLocale: Wrong place at the right rime
Interestning but not surprising. After having seen trained dogs look for human tracks on pavement, humans in avalanches, munitions, truffle or whatever, it's easy to believe there's no limit.
One important thing to think about when avoiding "scent detection" is wind direction. May be hard to predict bear direction though…
I only have brief experience with hiding food in bags in the smokies one night a couple of years ago. Since where I usually roam there's no need for food-bags it was all new to me. Turned out ok but my measures where literally worthless if a bear would have been close.
But to the question! What's the brand and the weight of the see-through bandana the officer in the 4th picture has over his eyes?
I see multi-purpose use, sunglasses and cap. :)Apr 9, 2013 at 11:58 pm #1974754

Excellent Study – Much Thanks for publishing it.
Raises a lot of interesting questions in my mind … here are two:
I wonder about the rates of permeability … given how quickly the dogs found their targets it doesn't seem like doubling the bags would help.
I also wonder about vacuum sealer bags used for home dehydrated meals. (If odiferous smells can get permeate out, then can O2 permeate & get in? … same question about commercial freeze-dried offerings)
Ok, Art – when are you going to publish the next set of experiments? :-)Apr 10, 2013 at 5:34 am #1974779

@deadboxLocale: Midwest
excellent article! I am not surprised by the findings, although I still believe OP sacks likely reduce odor transmission better than a standard zip lock and still have some value when used in conjunction with a proper hang or inside of a bear canister.Apr 10, 2013 at 5:50 am #1974780
Ben CBPL Member
@alexdrewreedLocale: Kentucky
Great work. I have always been sceptical of the OP bags and have not purchased them. I assumed they were no better than ziplocks. But I am a little surprised though that neither seems to have much useful effect.Apr 10, 2013 at 7:08 am #1974799

Thanks for the nice comments, guys. We had fun performing this study and the dogs thought it was a great game.
"I am a little surprised though that neither seems to have much useful effect."
@Ben- We only looked at whether the odor-proof bags performed better than ziplocs. We did not address the question of whether either had a useful effect at all. Here is an abstract suggesting that ziplocs may decrease bears ability to smell food, though one has to wonder whether the difference between 6 and 9 seconds is significant in a practical sense.

Ziploc Bags for Preventing Bears from Smelling Food
Background.—Wilderness activities occasionally result in
bear-encounters. To deter bears from detecting food scents, the
American Bear Association recommends double-bagging food
carried into the wilderness.
Objective.—Our objective was to determine if food sealed
in double-bagged Ziploc bags would decrease the ability of
bears to detect food scents as compared to food in unsealed
Ziploc bags.
Methods.—This was a prospective randomized singleblinded
study performed on bears at Northwest Trek Wildlife
Park, WA. Two black bears (Ursus americanus) and 2 brown
bears (Ursus arctos) were presented with open buckets in front
of their enclosures: one concealing food wrapped in 2 layers of
Ziploc bags and another with empty Ziploc bags. The time the
bears spent at each bucket was recorded for 30 seconds. In the
first phase, Ziplocs were open; in the second, Ziplocs were
Results.—The average time the bears spent at the open
Ziplocs with food and open Ziplocs without during the first
phase of the experiment was 9.573 and 6.613 seconds, respectively
(N _ 75). The average time spent at the closed Ziplocs
with food and closed Ziplocs without in the second phase of the
experiment was 6.25 and 6.8875 seconds, respectively (N _
80). The standard deviation for all average times was 1.5
seconds. An independent samples 2-tailed t-Test demonstrated
a statistically significant difference (P _ 0.032) when compar-ing
the time the bears spent at the open Ziplocs with food to the
closed Ziplocs with food. There was no statistically significant
difference between the controls from both phases of the experiment
Conclusions.—The bears spent a statistically significant
greater time at the open Ziplocs with food compared to the
closed Ziplocs with food. These data suggest that sealing food
in 2 layers of Ziploc bag may decrease the ability of bears to
detect the scent of food from within. We advise following the
ABA recommendations.

@Tony- I can answer your question about foodsaver bags, though not with a direct comparison. I had relied on the police officers to provide the "scent packets" for the study. Naively, I only questioned type and weight of the product, but not how they were packaged. After the study, I theorized that the seal must be the weak link in these bags and proposed a second study where we would investigate bags that were heat sealed to remove the opening. The officers laughed and told me the dogs would find them anyway. As it turned out, the drugs we used were sealed in foodsaver bags and then wrapped in a heavy canvas outer covering to protect the dogs from accidental exposure. I don't pretend to understand the intricacies of olfaction, but I developed a tremendous amount of respect for the dogs over the course of this study. Scent will find a way.Apr 10, 2013 at 7:10 am #1974802

I'll say it's things like this (and many others) that make BPL such a useful resource for a newbie like me – and by the responses for experienced backpackers as well!
This weekends trip with my sons Scout Troop is to Panthertown Valley, NC which is located within a NC designated black bear sanctuary and was subjec to a National Forest Service bear alert regarding some bears entering campgrounds and taking down bear bags.
I've been spending some time looking at bear safety myself, and our Troop has done a session on bear safety with the scouts. I have a bear canister I'll probably take along since I have it (UDAP No Fed Bear I got at STP for a good price with coupon) despite the weight. I'd been thinking about the odor sacks for my stuff as well given that the canister does nothing for odors and this article gives me pause to consider whether it is worth the effort.Apr 10, 2013 at 7:30 am #1974807

It is obvious that you will need a "Bag Handler" who has NO food/scent odors.
No foods in the pack.
Sitting 100 yards away during food prep and trailside lunches.
If this individual eats, s/he will have to be naked, and then take a bath.
I'm sure there are other considerations as well.

Thanks for confirming this. I've already had many very experienced thru-hikers tell me OPSAKs are useless…good to know it's not just speculation.
I suspect you could've made a lot more money by forwarding this article to High Times Magazine instead of BPL. This info could potentially keep a lot of "entrepreneurs" out of trouble.Apr 10, 2013 at 8:11 am #1974823

Did any of the officers mention people using vacuum sealed bags to fool dogs?
For lack of a better option I'm thinking I might vacuum seal individual meals and wash the outside of those meals very thoroughly. Obviously there will still be odor I'm just hoping it will be less odor then if I'd left a hunk of greasy summer sausage out.
For black bear I'm not too worried. Where I hike they are hunted and unlikely to bother me. Grizzly country would be the one place I'd go overboard with the whole vacuum sealing idea.Apr 10, 2013 at 8:22 am #1974827

Excellent work, Ari! I'm glad this research got published – it's just the kind of work that we need here on BPL!
I have a great deal of respect for dogs' scenting abilities, and seriously doubt that bears are any less able. Depending on "scent proof" bags is obviously not a viable technique for food safety in bear country.
Thanks again, and be sure to give your officers and dogs a big "Thank you!" from BPL!Apr 10, 2013 at 8:25 am #1974829

One thing missing from this study is proximity. I certainly understand dogs (or any creature) identifying food when it's literally inches from it's nose, but I'm curious what the rate of detection would have been from 3 or even 6 feet away, emulating the distance a bear bag would be from the snout of a bear. Additionally, trapping odor in a locker with the ability to extract the air easily via a vent would seem to enhance the ability for a dog to detect the bags.
In open air, at 6 feet away, my guess is the results would be very different.
That said, thank you so much for doing this study. We need more of this on BPL.Apr 10, 2013 at 9:01 am #1974847

It's great to know there is little practical difference in odourproofness between Opsak and Ziplok.
One observation from using both:
Odour permeability aside, the actual seals on Opsak bags are, in my experience, terrible. The bags can open in packs far more readily than Ziploc seals. Even if the odourproofness was perfect, it's a huge problem that the seals are so weak. I was putting everything in my Opsaks in Ziplocs, first, as a backup, but now I'll just forego the Opsaks altogether.
If Opsak could greatly improve their seal, I might still buy them, in spite of this study, for the additional piece of mind, but in lieu of this study, with their current seals… no point whatsoever.
Thanks for the great study! Love the care taken in designing it.Apr 10, 2013 at 9:28 am #1974856

This article has saved me money, because I don't see any reason to buy OP sacks again. Hard as it is to take for light and ultralight backpackers, it appears the the only sure way to prevent food from being destroyed by bears or other animals is to use a hard sided bear canister. Hats off to BPL for publishing this article, because you are going to get some flak from OP sack companies, I can guarantee you that.Apr 10, 2013 at 9:32 am #1974858

If a bear is a few feet from food in an odour proof bag I have no doubt that it will zero in pretty quickly.
To me the value of the odour proof bags are when the bear is a few hundred meters away, or some wind. The odour proof bags might possibly mute the smell enough to make it uninteresting in comparison to other natural (or unnatural sources), or possibly increase the difficulty in vectoring in on the source. If nothing else my opsak is coming along anyway to mask the smell of esbit, a task it does admirably.
I look forward to scorning odour proof bags becoming BPL dogma. I will add opsaks to my growing list of things I do or use but don't mention here any more, including but not limited to: trekking poles, hydration bladders, light hikers, white gas stoves, fleece, knife instead of scissors, bear spray, venturing out in the rain, drinking gatorade and using toilet paper.

Serves 6
Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 180 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Put a kettle of water on to heat for the water bath.
Step 2
To prepare flans: Put 2 teaspoons agave syrup in the bottom of each of six 6- to 8-ounce straight-sided ovenproof ramekins. Refrigerate the ramekins for 15 minutes to thicken the syrup.
Step 3
Meanwhile, pour milk into a medium saucepan. Split vanilla bean and, with the tip of a sharp knife, scrape all the black paste inside into the milk. Add the pod. (Or add vanilla extract to the milk.) Heat over medium heat until the milk is very hot and bubbles form around the edges of the pan, but do not allow it to boil. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Whisk eggs, egg yolks and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Slowly add 1 cup of the hot milk, whisking constantly as you pour. Whisk in the rest of the hot milk a little at a time.
Step 5
Strain the custard back into the pan through a sieve; carefully skim off any foam. Divide the custard among the prepared ramekins. Place the ramekins in a large baking pan. Carefully pour 1 inch of boiling water into the pan, being careful not to splash water into the custard. Cover the pan with foil.
Step 6
Bake until the custards no longer jiggle in the center, 25 to 35 minutes (depending on the size of the ramekin). Carefully remove the foil and let the flans cool in the water bath for 1 hour. Cover the ramekins and transfer to the refrigerator until chilled, about 1 hour.
Step 7
To prepare walnuts: Reduce oven temperature to 300°. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Step 8
Toss walnuts with agave syrup and brown sugar until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, 6 to 10 minutes, checking frequently. Spread out on wax paper to cool.
Step 9
To serve, run a knife around the edge of each ramekin and invert onto a plate. Top each flan with about 1 tablespoon of the walnuts.

Nice welding !!
You were fortunate to have a front shroud section with a bit of extra meat at the cut. The rear sight section should have provided plenty of fill at the back.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
"Most sewing machine problems are due to the carbon based unit in the chair in front of the machine"
Nice going Nancy, let us see some pictures of the stitches.
Quilting with a friend keeps me in stitches.
Cathy if you are coming on the 16th? I will pay you for the needles and I'd like to purchase a spring needle. Probably the 12. I lucked out with this Adler, I have a ton of DBx1 needles that came with my Hitachi treadle. I didn't realize the 16x231 and DBx1 are the same needle! Always something to learn and I love it! I can't wait to get the Adler cabinet re-finished and ready to bring in the house! I just love that Adler! It is so cool to have a reverse on a treadle! Cathy, I checked all my treadles and the Adler is the only one with the large and small belt groove for fast and slow treadling!
The difference between the DBx1 and 16x231 and 16x257 is the scarf or lack of one and possibly the tip length.
most of the time they are interchangeable. The exception is a zigzag machine that uses this style needle won't work with the non-scarfed versions.
Yes, I will be there on the 16th. The needles I gave you last month were a gift. No payment will be accepted.

Congrats on getting the Adler to sew!!! I think that's the best part of rehabbing these old machines.
I felt the same way after I got the Singer 115 all freed up and sewing.
Sharon-Is it steam punked or as my friend calls such styling "steam puked"? Glopping things together doesn't seem very artistic to me, but someone will like it.
By the way, I just finished piecing a back for one of my unfinished strip quilts with the 60. It sews very nice like all my Pfaffs.
Sharon, I know you treadle a 60 - any insights? I don't remember if your 60 came as a treadle, or you did a motorectomy and made it a treadle?
"motorectomy" - ..is now in my lexicon..... love it.

El Paso city manager could play a role in Saturday's election
EL PASO, Texas - A political researcher said Joyce Wilson may play a factor in El Paso's mayoral election. Wilson is El Paso's first city manager, after the city adopted the city manager form of government nearly 10 years ago.
Her position was created to ensure continuity during revolving, council elections. For some, she's the tough administrator who's meticulously executed an ambitious vision for the city. Others perceive her as having much more control than she should. And Political Science Professor, Dr. Gregory Rocha believes she may sway some voters even though she is not campaigning for any candidate.
He said Wilson represents much more than an administrative position.
"For better or for worse, she's come to personify what people think about that. The human face on the actions of government, in lieu of an incumbent."
She symbolizes the vision and direction of the city government, Rocha said. "We've done some things and they haven't been that popular - baseball and providing domestic benefits. It's been a controversial four years- and that will still stir up ire in some people."
Wilson does not vote on those issues. She advises the council and then executes and implements their policies and decisions. A local government watchdog group, through an open records request last year, discovered emails in which Wilson criticized council members and some constituents.
"To some people she's ... the manipulator behind those who are presumably in control and then there are those who say, 'look at her awards that she's won, her record, you have to break some eggs to make an omelet," Rocha said.
From downtown development to an ambitious public transportation overhaul, Wilson has been in the middle of it and for some political candidates; the city manager form of government is part of their political platform.
"It's too much power - consolidated in the city manager form of government. There are too many ordinances that have given power to our city manager. We need to reign in city management," said Candidate Hector Lopez during a recent ABC-7 mayoral debate. Jorge Artelejo and Jaime O. Perez have also been critical of the city manager form of government.
Rocha said the issue may sway some voters.
"You see someone like Steve Ortega who is a strong supporter of Joyce Wilson and all the way to the other extreme, someone like Jaime O Perez who vilifies her as often as he can."

Overview: In the late 1980s, Andrew Looney was writing a sci-fi story that included an ancient Martian game called Icehouse. The game in the story became more and more detailed, and eventually Icehouse — and the little plastic pyramids to play it — became a reality. The pyramids can be used to play a long list of different games. The packaging has evolved over the years, and the latest incarnation (marketed as Looney Pyramids) is a great way to jump into the genre.
Players: 2 and up (depends on game)
Ages: 14 and up (see below)
Playing Time: varies according to game
Retail: $10 to $20 depending on collection
Rating: 5 points! (Plus 8 edges, 4 solid faces, and one open face.) But seriously: Looney Pyramids are great.
Who Will Like It? Think of Looney Pyramids like a deck of cards: it's not so much a game as it is a game system. If you like versatility with a small set of pieces, you'll love these. They're also great for game designers as extra pieces for prototypes, plus they make great stacking toys … with supervision.

My understanding is......
On NFA weapons it varies, for some it's the receiver and others it's the sear.
Federally, select and full auto weapons can be assembled by properly licensed manufactures for sale to an individual post ban providing the sear or receiver was registered prior to the law change in 86.
BRP is a good example.
They assembled and sold many weapons post 86 on receivers registered prior to the change.
Yep, when a manufacturer converted a gun they had their choice of what part was registered in some guns. Guns that needed the receiver modified to accept the conversion parts generally had to have the receiver registered. Others, such as the HK line, could have the sear itself registered as a FA trigger pack (normally unregulated) can be easily modifed to fit the semi auto receiver. This is one of the reasons FA HKs are so popular, you can buy one expensive sear and use it in multiple inexpensive semi rifles instead of buying several expensive converted rifles. UZIs were popular to register the bolt, semi autos have a blocking bar in them that require a slotted bolt to clear, you can't just drop a FA bolt in. Slot a FA bolt and modify a select fire lower to fit a semi receiver and you have a conversion kit that can fit in any UZI. Most of the 10/22 conversions registered the trigger housing.
Back when the ban passed, there was a short window of time before it became law, MG manufacturers were scrambling to turn out as much product as they could as their livelihood was being taken away and they wanted to get some stock in for the coming years. Some cranked out sears, the FN FNC is a fine example where more registered auto sears exist than rifles. Others made receivers, some others simply filled out the paperwork and figured they would get around to actually making them before anybody checked. ATF was hardly consistent either. One maker drilled auto sear holes in a bunch of AR15 receivers but didn't have time to mill them out inside to accept the autosear. ATF denied their paperwork because they said they weren't completely converted. By then the law was in effect, so ATF then informed them they would have to destroy or register them as LE/dealer only because a sear hole by itself is enough to make the receiver an illegal FA without paperwork. ?????
So our old idea Kernel, of finding a small town. Get yourself elected L.O. chief. First day on the job, start buying full autos. For the safety of the people of-course.
Florida is a very very rural State. People who have not been here. Dont understand, that most of the population is condensed along the beach and shore A.O.s
Once one travels inland. Their is a lot of very small towns and communities.
Things get confusing for the L.O.s.
Accident on a State road or highway, the State Police have too cover it.
Lot of small towns. Have local Police depts., Sheriff coverage, plus State Police.
Hmmm. Thinking here. Our small community has Sheriff coverage. Bout time we got a Police dept.
Our Sheriffs are good. But they have a tremendous A.O. too cover. Often working alone.
Yes Sir tomorrow starts my campaign. Half the damn swamp town is convicted felons.
But I have a lot of people here owe me favors.
If I can drag them out of the bars come voting day. This could work.
We may have too carry some of them in and just point at which lever too pull. "No not that one. The other one stupid."
Yup. Their is a chance this could work.
"For a safer community. Vote 4th come election day."
First day on the job. I am ordering machine guns.

Best way to start is with a FA fixed stock Chinese 5.56 caliber. Try to find one that is registered to the receiver, not the trunnion.

A former bank executive who drowned a young prostitute at his Novato home is still a misogynistic sociopath who should remain in prison, even a quarter-century after the crime, Marin County authorities said.
District Attorney Ed Berberian and Sheriff Robert Doyle have each sent letters to state parole officials, urging them to extend the sentence of Leslie Arthur Byrd, 67, who was convicted in 1986. His latest parole hearing is set for Nov. 28 at the Richard Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego.
Berberian said the state, which has been trying to cut expenses by reducing the prison population, has shown a recent trend of releasing lifers when their terms are up. He doesn't want that to happen with Byrd.
"Nothing has occurred in the past 27 years to alter our opinion that inmate Byrd is a sadistic and pathological murderer who harbors an unfathomable hatred of women," Berberian wrote in a letter to parole officials.
Retired Marin judge Beverly Savitt, who sentenced Byrd to 15 years to life, also urged the board to keep him incarcerated.
"I continue to believe that should Mr. Byrd be released he will undoubtedly kill again," she said.
Byrd, a former vice president of Westamerica Bank in San Rafael, was convicted of second-degree murder for the death of Cynthia Engstrom, a 19-year-old prostitute he hired for a $500 bondage-sex session in 1985. Byrd brought her home while his wife and daughters were away and drowned her in a bathtub.
After the murder, Byrd dumped Engstrom's naked body near the driveway of a West Marin doctor he was angry with over a loan deal.
Byrd has claimed that he killed Engstrom accidentally by pushing her underwater in a panicked effort to silence her screams.
Berberian said Byrd has "stuck with this self-serving story" despite overwhelming evidence that he harbored sinister fantasies about many women.
The district attorney also said state psychologists have never adequately addressed his pathologies.
"Byrd talked about raping women," Berberian wrote. "He talked about going on search-and-destroy missions in Vietnam where he would rape and murder the women in the villages. He talked about scavenger hunts where the object was to retrieve women's breasts. Byrd's most chilling fantasy was to drown a woman in a bathtub and watch the fear in her eyes as the water rose over her face. It was in the culmination of this fantasy that inmate Byrd murdered Cindy Engstrom."
Byrd was last denied parole in 2009.

Has anyone used Animal Ear Tags to cover lid holes so you don't have to pug them?
Has anyone used Animal Ear Tags to cover lid holes so you don't have to pug them?
I used them to number hive stands and they did not hold up well to the elements. I guess farm animals don't live long, get eaten first. I doubt they would waterproof a feeder hole, they would bend in the sun.
A friend uses little galvanized metal squares with a hole drilled in one corner. Nailed to the lid it hinges open and shut and lays flat . I've been using small squares of Masonite dipped in hot wax, but they dont hold up more than a few years.
I use thm to keep track of the bees...... roflmao
NUTRA-BEE feed supplements
got my last box of plugs from these guys:
Theres always a bag of them behind the seat, which comes open, and you can track me by the trail of plugs that fall out every time a door is opened....
most cattle tags have a built in insecticide. look in a forestry catalog and get numbered alum tags. put on the bottom board as boxes get changed.
Why? to plug feeder holes..Which I assumed the OP was asking about.The cap size depends on the size drill used.I still prefer a hinged square to close these holes, but a plug works in a pinch.
What size hole do you use?
The range of sizes varies for many beeks. Just wondering what you think works best for you operation?
I use a 1.5" hole. Its big for metal cans but mostly I have the round black plastic jugs which have a bigger cap.
Do you use cans or inside feeders? Just curious.
That seems to be the standard. Which one of the plugs do you purchase from the previously mentioned folk?
TWF1.41/1.51YW1. I see they have gone up in price some.$64.10
I dont know what Cap Plugs are going for. Last thousand I bought from them was under $30 a thousand, but that was 20 some years ago!

P.S. From the Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists:
The best way to vent extra moisture from wintering colonies
is with an upper entrance. This entrance is VERY IMPORTANT!
A study from northern Alberta, for example, demonstrated that
either a 1 x 1.5 cm top entrance built into the inner cover or a 2.5
cm diameter hole in drilled into the middle of the upper brood box
greatly increased colony strength, health and decreased the
consumption of honey stores

We left for Dakar early this morning to get to the ivory coast embassy as we're still not sure if the border to Ghana is open. Hope it is as I don't fancy Mali as an option. The traffic in Dakar was a nightmare...moved 4km in hour as we entered the city...naturally my bike giving me a headache and starting to overheat!
We met Cheikh, a friend of andys who's helped us find good cheap accommodation and showed us the way to the embassy, nice guy, we should meet up again later for a beer.
Could definitely do with one, it's 40 degrees and so humid my shirts are soaked!

Reviews of this property
We spent last weekend on Lotje house boat, we found it very comfortable and in a quiet part of Amsterdam. The boat had everything you needed on board, was nice and warm even without the fire on. the location is very useful for the museums and also has a LIDL across the road which makes shopping very easy. Would definitely recommend this houseboat to anyone considering a trip to Amsterdam
We had a wonderful 4 days on Lotje's houseboat in Amsterdam. The house is very comfortable, well equipped, very clean and centrally located. We can fully recommend it for a family.
What a find! The houseboat was perfect for our weekend in Amsterdam. The host arrived at the agreed time to meet us and make sure we were comfortable. There is a Lidl just over the road, so a quick shop for breakfast things was so easy. There was plenty of coffee provided. Public transport was so easy too. Buy the IAmsterdam card, all tram journeys are included. We walked everywhere, great location. Would love to return.
we found the houseboat to be clean spacious and welcoming. A breakfast pack provided with a variety of cereals, jams and spreads to choose from was very useful on our first morning. though a carton of milk would have helped as we were delayed and didn't arrive until after midnight, though not a problem as we discovered a lidl store just over the bridge and it was open at 8am.
There were plenty of towels, bedding and toiletries in fact most things you would use day to day at home.
The houseboat is ideally situated in a quite residential area with a little traffic noise from the main road opposite. Only a 15 to 20 minute walk to the main attractions or a 5 minute tram ride which you can catch at the end of the street.
Our hosts Lotje and Mell were always at hand should we need them via mobile or email.
We would defiantly recommend this place for a different type of relaxing holiday. Already planning our 2017 trip there :-)
Yes what to say. It was an all-around great holiday in Amsterdam. A great city. Even though a little noisy. But otherwise, the stay at the houseboat was beautiful. Nothing was missing. Was everything you could possibly need in their daily lives so. Even toiletries, tea, coffee, jams etc. We have felt very comfortable with the coot family at the houseboat.
Ja was sollen wir sagen. Es war ein rundum super Urlaub in Amsterdam. Eine tolle Stadt. Wenn auch ein wenig laut. Aber ansonsten war der Aufenthalt im Hausboot schön. Es fehlte an Nichts. Alles war vorhanden was man so im täglichen Leben so braucht. Selbst Badeartikel, Tee, Kaffee, Marmelade etc. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt mit der Blesshuhnfamilie am Hausboot.
We had a lovely family holiday on this houseboat, really clean and spacious. The kids loved the bunk beds although the bottom bed folded out to a double so both could fit in if needed. Great location very close to trams, walking distance of many places of interest and a supermarket across the road for supplies.
We went in spring which was still quite chilly at times but the boats heating system was brilliant, love the spa bath too great after a long day sightseeing. Owners very helpful - would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere great to stay in Amsterdam.
Great holiday on a houseboat, uncomplicated keys incl. Flat / boot visit!
Very nicely decorated, and Wi-Fi is available.
Great holiday!
Toller Urlaub auf dem Hausboot, unkomplizierte Schlüsselübergabe inkl. Wohnung/Boot-Besichtigung!
Sehr schön eingerichtet, auch WLAN ist vorhanden.
Toller Urlaub!
It was a great holiday in a fantastic houseboat. Class service, nice ambiance - we immediately felt very comfortable. The location is convenient, the houseboat is fully equipped and the terrace offers space to chill out.
Es war ein toller Urlaub auf einem traumhaften Hausboot. Klasse Betreuung, nettes Ambiente - wir haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage ist günstig, das Hausboot ist perfekt ausgestattet und die Terrasse bietet Platz zum Chillen.
Just brilliant. We had a lovely time staying here and would recommend it to anyone. The boat is beautifully furnished and well set out. Everything works as it should and lots of great amenities. The breakfast selection when you arrive is a great feature. The location of the boat is lovely and convenient for all your needs. You can get anywhere in the city with just a short walk.
The boat was clean and well maintained; Although the landlord himself was not there, the boat was handed over to us by a friend who was very courteous, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the fireplace was broken, we would like to use it, since we were there in January. Otherwise everything was fine fine.
The boat is quite central - you can also get walking to the city center; also within walking distance are the major museums. For the town near you have to accept that you have to leave your car on the outskirts of the city.
A recommended accommodation.
Das Boot war sauber und gepflegt; die Vermieterin selbst war zwar nicht da, das Boot wurde uns von einem Freund übergeben, der sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich und hilfsbereit war. Leider war der Kamin defekt, den wir gerne genutzt hätten, da wir im Januar dort waren. Ansonsten war alles bestens in Ordnung.
Das Boot liegt recht zentral - man kann auch zu Fuß in die Innenstadt kommen; ebenso gut zu Fuß erreichbar sind die großen Museen. Für die Stadtnähe muss man in Kauf nehmen, dass man das Auto am Rande der Stadt abstellen muss.
Eine empfehlenswerte Unterkunft.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

The United States could launch pre-emptive cyber strikes against countries it suspects of threatening its interests with a digital attack, under new, secret guidelines to safeguard the nation's computer systems.
The rules - the country's first on how it defends or retaliates against digital attacks - are expected to be approved in coming weeks, and are likely to be kept under wraps, much like the policies governing its controversial drone programme.
A secret legal review into the guidelines has already decided President Barack Obama has the power to order such pre-emptive strikes if faced with credible evidence of a looming attack, according to the New York Times, which quoted unnamed officials involved in the review.
The revelations come just days after an array of American media organisations, including the New York Times and The Washington Post, said their computer networks had been infiltrated by Chinese hackers. The risk of digital attacks was also underlined by a US Department of Homeland Security report which revealed a computer virus had forced an unidentified US power plant to go offline for three days last year.
The US is known to have conducted cyber attacks of its own. The programme, code-named "Olympic Games", targeted Iranian nuclear facilities with malicious computer worms. It began under President George W. Bush, but Obama is believed to have ordered an acceleration of the digital attacks when he took office. The details only came to light when the Stuxnet worm, believed to have been developed by the US and Israel, surfaced on the internet. Last month, the Iranian Government denied it had any hand in recent cyber attacks on US financial institutions.
While the American military faces deep budgets cuts, the Pentagon approved a major expansion of its "cyber command" from around 900-strong to some 4900 troops in the next few years, according to the Washington Post.
"There are very, very few instances in cyberoperations in which the decision will be made at a level below the President," an official told the New York Times.
"What concerns us is not the growth of forces but the way it is happening behind the scenes," said a Washington Post editorial.

One of my hives died and I took particular pains to sift through all the bees to find the queen. Found her, and I want to make a swarm lure by pickling her in alcohol. Looked on forum and it seems like keepers mostly use a freshly-pinched queen. My hive may have died anytime in the last two months (we moved in Dec. and I only now had a chance to retrieve the hives).
Will a swarm lure containing a queen that may have been dead for a few weeks work as effectively as one with a newly-killed queen?
