Shelters, help in place for Wetmore Fire evacuees
Florence, Pueblo serve as shelter locations
WETMORE, Colo. - The Red Cross and other community members are offering shelter for those affected by the Wetmore Fire.
The Red Cross shelter is located at First Southern Baptist Church, 303 East 3rd Street in Florence. The Church of the Nazarene in Pueblo was initially a Red Cross reception center but closed as of 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Another shelter is being independently operated by Praise Community Church, 215 North Pikes Peak Avenue in Florence.
"We've never offered a shelter before, but we're willing to try," said Rev. Wayne Dickinson of Praise Community. "We're ready to handle up to 75 people in our basement."
But Dickinson said some of his own members may need shelter.
"Some of our members, their houses burned down," he said. But they're in motels. None have called us yet."
The number of evacuees who came to the Praise Community shelter was unavailable Tuesday night.
Around 30 families registered at First Southern Baptist. The Red Cross said volunteers began arriving just after 2 p.m. Some of the volunteers also worked during the Waldo Canyon fire this summer.
A count of evacuees in Pueblo was not available Tuesday night.
Food, water, cots and restrooms are available at the shelters. They will remain open until further notice. However, it appears that most of the evacuees found other places to stay -- with friends and relatives, or at hotels and motels.
Livestock and large animals can be taken to the Colorado State Fairgrounds in Pueblo. Pueblo Animal Services is also standing by to accept small companion animals displaced by the Wetmore Fire. Those in need of shelter for pets should call 719-544-3005 for additional information. Staff members will be standing by throughout the night. They are located at 4600 Eagleridge Circle in Pueblo.
Care and Share hosted a food drive Wednesday from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. at their Pueblo warehouse located at 100 Greenhorn Drive. You can also make a $10 donation by texting "Donate" to 41010.
In Canon City, 7th and Floral Food Pantry also is holding a food drive and giving out emergency food boxes to evacuees. You can call 719-275-2623 to set up a time to donate. They are located at 701 Floral Avenue in Canon City.

PR-B students help prepare park bathroom structure for paint
The Pine River Area Foundation (PRAF) would like to thank the following Pine River-Backus High School students for helping clean and scrape the Dam Park bathroom structure this past Saturday: Troy Fetter, Zach Struss, Henry Krecklau, Tony Peterson and Joe Johnson.
Thanks to the thoughtfulness of these students, this project is on schedule to be painted in the coming weeks.
The PRAF, along with volunteers from the following organizations — Dam Park Task Force, Pine River Chamber of Commerce, Working Together Coalition/Teens Leading the Way, Pine River Revitalization Group, Heritage Group North and the Pine River Fire Department — have partnered to clean, scrape and repaint the Dam Park bathroom structure inside and out and then paint murals on the exterior walls of the facility.
Another part of this project will be to clean, scrape and paint murals on 20 metal trash cans sprinkled throughout town.
Also part of this project will be to apply touch up paint to the exterior of the Pine River Railway Depot and put another coat of polyurethane on the freight room floor.
Currently we are looking for talented designers to submit proposals having the following theme ideas: Pine River History, Up North, Family Friendly, Natural Elements, or Community Pride. We are looking for designs for all four sides of the bathroom structure as well as the 20 trash cans.
For more information on how to submit a proposal, contact Quinn Swanson at firstname.lastname@example.com.

North Cheyenne Cañon Park to reopen Saturday
SW Colorado Springs park closed three months for flood repairs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A popular location for recreation in Colorado Springs will once again be available to the public this weekend after damage from September flash floods.
North Cheyenne Cañon Park on the city's southwest side is scheduled to reopen at 5 a.m. Saturday. City leaders and the U.S. Forest Service conducted a media tour Wednesday to point out repairs made to flood-damaged areas.
Officials said workers scaled rocks, hauled out 280 dump truck loads of debris, repaired guardrails, stabilized creek banks and made temporary road repairs.
"There will be ongoing work that takes place, really, throughout the winter and into the spring, and those are going to be maybe some more isolated types of projects," said Chris Lieber of the city's Parks and Recreation Department. "For some of our repairs, we'll need warmer weather."
Lieber said visitors should expect traffic delays and brief trail closures as repairs continue. He said freeze-thaw cycles with additional moisture in the park could cause more damage.
Officials said park repairs have cost $235,000 so far and the federal government likely will reimburse the city for most of that cost. The city also is helping the nearby Seven Falls tourist attraction repair flood damage, although the attraction remains closed.
Captain Jacks Trail, Forest Service trails around the park, the park's uppermost parking lot and High Drive will remain closed while repairs continue, officials said.

News Release
August 25, 2011

Minnesota teens' immunization rates improve in 2010, but too many still unprotected, health officials say
National Immunization Survey shows jumps for pertussis, meningococcal, HPV
Markedly greater numbers of Minnesota teens are receiving vaccines recommended during adolescence, according to results of a national survey released today. But the rates are still not as high as state health officials would like.
According to the National Immunization Survey – Teen, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), immunization rates for the relatively new tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis booster (Tdap) increased from 52 percent in 2009 to 70.3 percent in 2010. Similarly, immunization with meningococcal vaccine, which protects against a serious form of meningitis, increased from 43.9 percent to 57.0 percent. And 37.8 percent of adolescent girls had completed the three-dose series of human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine, which prevents cervical cancer, up from 27.0 percent in the prior year. Nationally, coverage with each of the vaccines rose at a pace similar to Minnesota's.
"We're pleased that Minnesota continues to show improvement in coverage rates for these important vaccines," said Kristen Ehresmann, director of Infectious Disease, Epidemiology, Prevention and Control for the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). "We're making progress, but these results also tell us we still have much work to do before we can say our young people are sufficiently protected from these diseases."
It's important that adolescents get these vaccines, Ehresmann explained, because they provide protection against diseases at a time when teens and young adults are at risk. Also, the adolescent health check-up recommended at 11 or 12 years of age provides a convenient time to receive these vaccines while adolescents are still visiting their health care providers regularly.
Pertussis, or whooping cough, is part of the standard childhood vaccine series, but recent studies have revealed that immunity begins to wane in pre- to early adolescence. Students entering seventh grade should receive Tdap if they haven't already, even though Minnesota's school immunization requirements haven't yet been updated to specify this vaccine instead of the older tetanus-only version.Tdap is also strongly recommended for anyone who will be spending time around infants –who are most at risk for serious complications from pertussis and are too young to receive the vaccine. "So teens, who are potential babysitters, as well as moms, dads, and grandparents of new babies, should get Tdap to protect not just themselves, but those who are vulnerable around them," Ehresmann said. "Tdap is for everyone 7 years of age and older."
It's important for 11 and 12 year olds to get a first dose of meningococcal vaccine to prevent meningococcal infection, which is a rare but serious cause of meningitis and blood infections. A new recommendation calls for a booster dose at 16, when teens' risk starts going up markedly.
With the HPV vaccine, the main goal is to prevent cervical cancer in women. The HPV vaccine provides almost 100 percent protection against the two forms of human papilloma virus that cause most cases of cervical cancer. The vaccine also protects against related cancers and genital warts, so it has benefits for both sexes, and can be given to both girls and boys.
"The virus is transmitted from person to person through sexual contact, but we know that it's important that teens receive the vaccine before they become sexually active as a way to maximize the protection and minimize the risk," Ehresmann said. "When someone becomes sexually active, male or female, their chances of getting HPV within the first few months are extremely high. Getting the vaccine after sexual activity has begun may be too late."
"All three of these vaccines are important at this age," Ehresmann said. "They can be given at the same appointment to minimize inconvenience for teens and their parents."
CDC officials expressed concern that HPV vaccination rates are not growing as fast as the rates for other adolescent vaccines. In Minnesota as well as in the nation as a whole, the trajectory of increase is somewhat lower for HPV than for other vaccines.
Making improvements in immunization coverage rates requires a concerted effort by all the parties involved, Ehresmann said. "Parents need to ask their health care provider about the vaccines; providers need to recommend to parents that their teens get the vaccines; public health needs to make the recommendations clear and simple and provide the resources for parents and providers to understand their importance; and manufacturers need to make sure the supply of vaccine is consistently adequate. In this way, we can achieve our goal of significantly reducing these diseases through increased immunization rates."

Top 50 genomic Holstein bulls are all over 792 Net Merit.
by Hoard's Dairyman staff
Genomics is accelerating the pace of genetic change. In the Holstein breed, it took a Net Merit (NM$) score of 792 to make the top 50 list among nonprogeny proven young bulls. A short eight months ago, the last bull on the top 50 genomic list was 750 NM$. That is a 42-point shift. When looking back to last April, bulls on the top 50 genomic list range from 936 to 726 compared to 991 to 792 this month. As one would expect, the top-end of the list also pushed upward with five bulls above 890 NM$. Topping the genomic list was 7HO11351 Supersire, $9 short of $1,000 NM$.
In the Jersey breed, there is a similar story. We list the top 25 genomic bulls and it took a 590 to make the list, while in August it was 548 NM$. That is a 42-point shift. What is different is the top-end of young bulls did not move as much when compared to the Holstein breed.
Among the proven Holstein bulls, there wasn't much change on the top-end. In Holsteins, Freddie, the top bull, still ranks first as he moved up 23 NM$. Among the top 100 progeny-proven bulls it took a 500 NM$ to make the list which is 9 points higher than December. The Jerseys had the same situation among the progeny proven bulls with Zuma as he still tops the list but moved up 78 points. Among the top 50 progeny proven Jerseys, it took a 357 $NM to make the list which is 11 points higher than December.
Hoard's Dairyman bull list features all seven breeds. In the Holsteins, the top 100 bulls for Net Merit are listed. All bulls must be in the top 40 percentile for Net Merit (cutoff is 379 NM$) to be listed in the top lists for Fluid Merit, Cheese Merit, udders, feet and legs, productive life, somatic cell score, pregnancy rate, conception rate, and sire calving ease. That $379 NM$ cutoff is 47 points higher than December. The largest change to date.
As mentioned earlier, we also have a top 50 ranking for actively marketed Holstein young sires with genomic tests. We compiled a similar list for the top 25 Jerseys. This is a logical addition to the bull list as more breeders are using genomic young bulls. We published the progeny tested and genomic lists side by side so breeders can make direct comparisons. Bulls with genomic-only evaluations are not eligible for other trait lists.
In the Jersey breed, we also ranked the top 25 JPI (Jersey Performance Index) bulls. In the Brown Swiss, we ranked bulls on PPR (The Progressive Performance Ranking) since the breed is no longer ranking bulls on Net Merit. If you would like more information on that decision, check the August 10, 2010, issue on page 515.
In the Red and Whites, we listed the top 10 Red bulls and the top 10 Red Carrier bulls by Net Merit. We made similar top 10 lists for the Guernseys and Ayrshires. The top 5 Milking Shorthorns are ranked by Net Merit, also.

In an 8 man league. Reggie Wayne is available in a 2rb 3wr no flex standard scoring format.
I have my starters as Hakeem Nicks, Julio Jones and Vincent Jackson
on my bench I have Stevie Johnson and Piere Garcon.
So should I drop Stevie or Garcon or even Jackson for Wayne?
Also on the running back front Peyton Hillis is available but I have Ray Rice, Dough Martin, Jamal Charles, and Bradshaw.
Is Hillis better than any of the WR's or RB's I own?

Picture in the local paper of an open almond Bloom in Benicia at a local state park. Open on January 6, 2014.
65 today and 70's next week. No rain for 10 more days. Every day this keeps up the closer to Feb 1 i'm guessing the bloom is going to be rocking.

Pretty packaging for home baking?
I am looking for a site that does pretty packaging for home made food gifts such as cookies, florentines, cupcakes. Not the functional white square boxes but something that is fitting for a tasty gift!
Any ideas?

Re: Pretty packaging for home baking?
You don't say which country you are in....it would help to know this to advise you.
If you are in England, Lakeland Ltd have lots of ideas for how to package food gifts & they are of course online/mail order as well as having High-street shops in many towns. If you want stuff in larger numbers than for just a few gifts....check out local stationers/catering suppliers for an idea of what stock is available at good prices.

GriffReed. Cookies is the clue. Presuming you're in the States? Don't think the States are big on Farm Shops where you can often find attractively packaged food goodies, especially at Christmas time. If that's no help, how about buying some cellophane wrapped cookies, etc and use Christmasssy ribbon to tie around each end? Just a thought. Good hunting.

Re: Pretty packaging for home baking?
I have bought some cellophane bags that I will be tying with a pretty ribbon .
They were from Sainsbury's and have small silver foiled card in the base .
You can also buy cellophane bags from Lakeland. Have a look at their catalogue .
I keep an eye on eBay to see if anything suitable for packing gifts is avalible and this year I have bought some little baskets which I will pop a square of fabric in before putting in the baked goods etc.
I also have some sets of tins that I bought from Lidl done time ago .i Amy of may not use those this year .
Other things I use are those round coloured Ikea boxes , they stack inside each other and some are very useful sizes for things like biscuits .
Really you could use anything you like as long as the biscuits , Florentines etc are protected by a bag or paper that is suitable for food use .

Re: Pretty packaging for home baking?
When I'm in a press for time I use plastic disposable plates, usually red or green or a Christmas them. I fill the plate with cookies and then place it on a large cut sheet of cling foil. I wrap it up and tie it with a pretty ribbon. Then I take a hair dryer and dry the cling foil which makes it shrink and tighten up against the cookies.
In the markets I also find very pretty tins and use those.

Re: Pretty packaging for home baking?
Kmart or similar type of stores usually have a big selection of inexpensive gift bags and they might have boxes, but I don't recall seeing specifically food boxes. You could use basic gift boxes . . . a nice way to handle that is to wrap the bottom and lid separately so the box is completely covered, yet re-usable, if you know what I mean.

We'll be doing edible gifts this year and will be using the flip top glass jars with the rubber grommet for couscous mix and spiced nuts.
For cupcakes these are kinda cute

Re: Pretty packaging for home baking?
If all else fails, wrap it in foil and tie a pretty ribbon round it. It's pretty practical as it protects cookies etc. from knocks, and it's easily recycled. The main downside is that you can't see the contents and that, well , it looks like foil. But I'm throwing this out there in case you find yourself sitting there on Christmas Eve without having found a solution to this!
Another cheap solution is to find disposable foil pie dishes etc. that you can put your cookies in and then cover the top with clingfilm so you can see them. The basic silver is quite pretty and you can dress it up with ribbons etc.

Re: Pretty packaging for home baking?
If im right ..Koukouvagia suggests that once wrapped in cling film , the cling film can be shrunk to tighten it by blowing with a warm hair drier .. I am going to try this .. Sounds good and will keep the Christmas cookies in place as well !

Re: Pretty packaging for home baking?
Any danger the hair dryer would make the cookies sweat or melt chocolate chips?

A lot of changes happening at Pequot Lakes High School
By now, most people have probably seen the significant changes associated with the construction project involving Pequot Lakes Public Schools. The changes are simply amazing and will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the overall programming across the school district. Examples at the high school would be the new science suite and Project Lead the Way (PLTW) lab that opened this fall. The science suite consists of four new rooms that allow students to have a balance of instruction and demonstration along with labs without leaving the room. This new facility allows students the opportunity to actually set up experiments or projects in a way that wasn't possible in the old facility. Students can take an array of courses from chemistry to forensics. The same holds true in the new PLTW lab that assists in the instruction of engineering, robotics and computer integrated technologies. This program allows students to explore career opportunities, from engineering to computer integrated manufacturing. These new rooms allow opportunities for students in the areas of science and technology that rival some of the metro school districts! Thank you local citizens for your support in making this happen for our students.
Another change that is taking place isn't visible, but it involves the increase in college and technical education opportunities. This coming fall, students will have access to over 80 college credits at Pequot Lakes, with an Associate's Degree only requiring 60 credits. Students at Pequot Lakes High School continue to have many opportunities that allow for rigorous coursework in preparation for post-secondary. In addition, students can earn pre-engineering and engineering credits through the University of Minnesota. Opportunities like these didn't exist ten years ago; however, partnerships with technical and community colleges and universities have allowed students access to college prep and college credit courses for all qualified students. In particular, I really want to recognize Central Lakes College for their willingness to partner with Pequot Lakes High School. Registration is being held right now for the 2013-2014 school year, so if you're considering coming to Pequot Lakes High School next fall you should come in to register.
The third change I would like to share with you is a new project called "A Day of Caring." This project will consist of all members of our staff and 543 students in grades 9-12 spending the day volunteering across our communities. We want to give something back to all of our communities in return for the investment all of you have made in providing a quality educational program here at Pequot Lakes High School. The event will take place on Thursday, May 9, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. with an alternate date of May 10. Currently we are in the planning phase and are soliciting ideas from all community members on how we can help. Transportation will be provided and there will be no cost associated with this opportunity. If interested contact the high school office at 568-9210.
(Chip Rankin is the principal at Pequot Lakes High School.)

Home › Forums › Campfire › Post-Trip Reports › "Winter" in the BWCA
Jul 15, 2013 at 10:12 pm #1305436
Matt FBPL Member
We had a long winter in Minnesota. The snow and cold pushed its way to late april, and once spring was here it was shortlived, wet and cold. Now, its been 90s and humid for much of July, and I find myself thinking fondly upon our May snow storms. In that spirit, here is a report from a "winter" trip to the BWCA in April:
My buddy Pete and I had been looking to fit in a spring backpacking trip, but our window of opportunity was shrinking before our eyes. Weekend obligations piled up and one snowstorm after another left us firmly buried in the white stuff in mid-April. We were both free April 19th to the 21st and rather than missing an opportunity to hike we basically just threw in the towel, admitted it was still the middle of winter and grabbed some cold weather gear.
I had literally just finished a few consecutive overnight shifts at work and Pete picked me up in the parking ramp in downtown Minneapolis. I was basically useless on the drive up to the Boundary Waters but at least managed a couple hours of sleep.
As we began our drive up the Gunflint trail toward the South Lake Trailhead (about 40 miles "inland" from Lake Superior), another snowstorm started to roll in, and if the feet of snow piled on cars stranded in cabin driveways was any indication, this had been the norm recently.
A year prior I had been paddling in a t-shirt and shorts just one week later in the same neck of the woods. This year the forecast lows were around 10F with highs just below freezing.
We actually had to drive around until we found a lodge that had plowed a small parking lot, asked them if we could drop the car there, then walk about a mile down the road to the trail head.
The snow was deep! We took turns breaking trail and working our way toward the Border Route Trail.
I had firmly developed a case of the stupids as I neglected to pay close enough attention to the map, compass, and as it turns out my BDMs (Big Dumb Mitts). I dropped one at some point, back-tracked about a mile, then returned to the place I first noticed I was missing it and found it about 6 feet down the trial. I blame the sleep deprivation ☺
Rather than going to the Border Route that night we called an audible and made our way to moss lake with the intention of hooking up with the Border Route the next day. We cruised (read: slogged slowly) across the lake and finally reached camp some time after 7 PM.
The beauty of winter camping in April is about four hours more day light than you'd have in December.
We stomped out a platform, set up our tent, and set to the business of making dinner and melting snow.
The next day we awoke to a gorgeous clear (but cold) morning. We grabbed some breakfast and were on our way through a short portage to Duncan Lake. As far as we can tell, night time lows were in the high-single-digits to low teens each night. Pretty strange for April in Minnesota!
Little did we know there was running water just a couple hundred meters from where we'd slept.
After marching across Duncan we met up with a spur that took us to the Border Route Trail and eventually above Rose Lake. The Border Route was slow going: lots of snow, steep trail, and plenty of trees to maneuver around. Still, it provided a bit of variety to contrast with the lake walking.
That afternoon we descended down to Rose Lake in what felt like a heat wave. The snow wasn't melting, but the bright sun on the snow and ice of the lake made it feel tropical. We set up our decidedly 3-season tent in a protected spot in the woods and made ourselves a snowpack island where we spent the evening cooking, taking photos, and drinking a bit of whiskey. Decent times.
The next morning we set out to have a relatively ambitious day: we'd continue east through the end of Rose Lake, make our way through a very flooded portage trail then travel across Daniels lake, Bearskin lake, then back to Duncan Lake at which point we back-tracked our initial days' journey.
After about 8 hours of travel and a few soggy steps into deep slush repositories in the middle of the lakes we made our way back to the trailhead. Looking back at our photos from this trip almost makes me miss winter already.
A couple post-trip thoughts:
First, this trip was awesome. Pete and I have hung out a couple times since and we both just kind of shake our heads at how much this trip exceeded our expectations as a two night wilderness experience. The BWCA is heavily traveled in the summer, but go there in winter conditions and its essentially a huge empty wilderness area full of wolves, moose and silence .
Second, we snowshoed this trip, but the BWCA just begs to be skied. We spent a lot of time on portage and hiking trails, but my next (winter) trip will be on backcountry XC Skis with a bit more time on the lakes. Snow shoes are fantastic, but I couldn't help but to think that the big wide open lakes and generally gently sloped portage trails are well suited to travel by skis. There seem to be a bunch of BPLers interested in getting out more on skis and in winter, and i'd love to see a concerted effort to get a crew of us out there in the next couple of seasons.
Third, I was somewhat surprised at how comfortable I was in mild winter-conditions with highs below 30 and lows in the single digits with feet of snow on the ground in spite of largely 3-season gear: I used a ULA Circuit, WM Ultralite bag, Big Sky Evolution 2P tent, Exped Synmat UL + cut down ridgerest and a coleman peak remote canister stove (though the canister stove was a bit finicky at night). My baseweight including a Sony Nex 5 camera was around 14 pounds. There were a couple of things I'd bring next time but for the most part I was happy with my gear.
We had pretty calm conditions, and I'm looking into shelters that are light but could handle a bit of blowing snow as I think the Big Sky tent is clearly not suited to legit winter conditions. I don't endorse heading out with inadequate gear, but I do endorse choosing to make the trip in spite of a cold/wet/windy forecast and challenging yourself. This was a prime example of pushing the limits of the gear we brought along but making adjustments and good decisions in order to stay warm/dry/comfortable.
Thanks for reading,

Awesome TR. BWCA hiking trips are often kind of mediocre due to the bogs and lakes but winter trips (even "winter" in April) are awesome when you can cruise for miles over frozen lakes. Definitely hope to see some more from you on future ski trips up North.Jul 18, 2013 at 4:53 pm #2007456

Rog – I love the idea of a cross-country ski open – why let the folks out west hog all the fun? Keep me posted when you get the ball rolling. Also, what is that section of the NCT like? I can't imagine skiing 60 miles through SHT-type terrain, but perhaps things are a little gentler in that neck of the woods.
As far as the tarp and snow block idea is concerned: i'm not there yet, but I am planning to dabble in pyramid shelters again. I previously had a shangri-la 3 but moved back to traditional tents for a while. I'm picking up a BD mega light with the intention of using it in winter but also with an inner for windy/wet/shoulder season conditions with my wife. I figure the square shape ought to be easier to pitch and after a fair bit of research i can't find anything as rugged or roomy as a mid/inner combo for the weight. I'll be posting a couple tents for sale shortly.

Brazil's Lula cancels Davos trip after falling ill
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has cancelled his trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos after falling ill with high blood pressure.
President Lula, 64, became ill as he was about to fly from the north-eastern city of Recife to Davos in Switzerland.
He spent the night in hospital and will rest at home for the next few days.
President Lula, who had been due to receive an award in Davos, was "exhausted" after an intense week, a presidential spokesman said.
Central Bank president Henrique Meirelles will travel to Davos to represent Brazil and accept the World Economic Forum's new Global Statesmanship Award on Lula's behalf.
President Lula had spent Wednesday in Recife following a busy agenda.
The president had complained of a sore throat and a pain in his chest during the day and showed signs of high blood pressure as he was about to depart.
His personal doctor, Cleber Ferreira, who advised that he be taken to hospital, said: "I took the president off the plane. He didn't fly on doctors' orders, but right until the last minute he wanted to travel."
Doctors say the president recovered quickly after being taken to hospital but are advising he takes a few days' rest at his home in Sao Bernardo do Campo in Sao Paulo state.
Peanut seller
President Lula is in the final year of his second four-year term - but despite high approval ratings has ruled out standing for a second re-election, which is anyway prohibited under the Brazilian constitution.
Following a landslide victory in 2002, he became the first leftist to hold the country's highest office in nearly half a century.
The son of an illiterate peasant family, he had worked as a peanut seller and shoe-shine boy, only learning to read when he was 10 years old, before training as a metal worker and becoming a trade union activist.
He then helped found the Workers Party (PT) in 1980.

I couldn't agree with you more dickm. It would also be great to see golf played on craggy hillsides, like when the game was created. Besides, there wonderful things that can grow and live in unmanaged yards populated by dandilions and yellow jackets.
Fist off dickm, sorry or insulting you. That slag was not called for.
>> I respect your background and was surprised at the size of the outfit you have. I'd like to see it some time. When you talk I usually listen.
Very proud of what we have here. That kind of snuk out in the conversation here somewhere, doesnt mean anything to the conversation, but practial experience.
>>I assume rAFB means "resistant AFB"?
I thought rAFB was univerally excepted as resistant AFB. you not the only one that has asked me that.
>>2-4-D is Agent Orange.
Dont know what Agent Orange really is, but herd of it. 2-4-D, that I use is an amine formulated as a solution. Straight from my spray book. Its the same stuff used in most all lawn care dandilion killers. Check your neighbours spray can, and you will probably find 2-4-D listed. (Assuming you dont kill dandilions in your lawn as I dont, for infact we are both beekeepers)
>>For what it's worth I came off a farm. I think I have a better grasp of these issues than you do simply because I am in the habit of looking at the big picture.
Well dickm, who comes off the farm and doesnt know what 2-4-D is? Really, it was the oldest herbicide available, and started the shift to agriculture as we now know it. It is the sinlge most important herbicied on the market.
Becasue of sutch, it tells me that you come off the farm, without any practical farming know how. Im not slaging you here again, just saying simply to come off the farm doesnt give you the veiw of the bigger picture.
But your right with one point, we are forced to act shortsighted for the matter of survival. But that doesnt mean are opinions are as sutch.
>>If one weed can survive the application of a harsh chemical and another could not... wouldn't you agree that the last one standing is stronger?
I read this post a day or so back, without time to respond. And got thinking why you would think resistance to a herbicide makes it a stronger plant. And I got thinking of antibiotic resistant bacterias and sutch known as "super bugs". This name take refers the resistant bacterias as super, or stronger.
I dont agree with the "stronger" lable of antibiotic or chemicaly reisistant organisms. They are reistant to our terms of controling them, but they dont act any differently in expressing their characteristics. So they arnt stonger, just avoid our controlling them.
But I do see where you are comming from, after thinking about it for a while [img]smile.gif[/img]
>>Us sideliners that are working with the alternative potions and resistant bees will be ahead of the curve.
Dont be nieve. Its not just the sideliners working on the resistant bee. Its the commercial mans lively hood, they are the ones up here that are vesting thier money into this research and development.
And again the commercial man gets slaged. Well, the commercial beekeepers put the money upfrount here in Canada which allowed the CHC bring Oxalic Acid into use,
>> I'm OK now. Don't make me mad again. [Embarrassed]
Its okay dickm, we all need to let off the steam sometimes. Keep your thoughts comming. I enjoy your opinions, just hope you can sort through my spelling!!

Hi Ian,
When I see your spelling I think that I would be about the same if it weren't for the spell checker. There is a way to get it into the browser, you know. I also suspect you may be bi-lingual and I am not.
I wasn't lying, just stretching the truth about coming off a farm. It wasn't lately. More like 55 years ago. I do however have a high school degree in agriculture. I used a new yellow herbicide back then to kil some poison ivy. I thought I'd start a sideline but the stuff was too expensive. I now suspect I used 2,4-D in 1950.
On the other hand, where the heck were you in the Viet Nam war that you never heard of agent orange? I'm not talking to a kid am I? Anyway, 2,4-D was mixed with 2,4,5,=-T and was used to defoliate large tracts of forest in the Nam, to cut down on places for the enemy to hide. It turns out the 2,4,5-T contained "Dioxin" which is one of the worst pollutants on earth. A nerve poison I think. I think some pesticides may create it when they degrade.[not sure but have read something about it.] The run-off from agent orange has plagued a generation of Vietnamese as well as the people that handled it when it was used. Pilots, etc. Guilt by association made me leary of 2,4-D.
>>>And again the commercial man gets slaged. Well, the commercial beekeepers put the money up frount here in Canada which allowed the CHC bring Oxalic Acid into use.<<
I knew that. In fact there is a move on to use your material to get it legal down here. Sorry for painting with a broad brush. I have been in contact with a few guys who are fogging pesticides [not FGMO]into their hives and using illegal stuff.
So I don't have to go look it up: What is your strategy for mites? What bees look good to you? What winter losses do you expect?
> I think my spelling would be the same if I wasnt using spell checker...
How can I get spellchecker in here.....I hate spewing "stupid" all over the screen, but dont have a dictionary handy.
I forgot how I did it. You need to have a checker on the computer. I have "Word." then you need to get them together. MIKE, MIKE. He knows.
I don't know if you mean me. It's obvious I don't have a spell checker. [img]smile.gif[/img] You cna tlel by all teh tpyso.

>>I'm not talking to a kid am I?
What if I told you I was 62. Or mabey 26. Or maybe 55? What does it really matter [img]smile.gif[/img]
>>So I don't have to go look it up: What is your strategy for mites? What bees look good to you? What winter losses do you expect?
For V mites, I have used Apistan up till last spring, where I had found higher losses due to suspected resistance. So, I went and cleaned up my hives with Check-mite this fall. Going to start applicating Oxalic Acid next year. I just have to prep myself on this stuff first.
For t mites I use a soaked cardboard of Menthol. Works very well.
I have been using mostly Carniolian type bees. They sure beat the Italians up here for winter losses. I have been dabbling into our area selected queens, which are of the darker type. Suspect Carniolian with Russian. Boy, I tell you these bees are something else.
With the high queen prices, I have been debating on wheather to start more later splits, self queened. And this way improving my stock with area selected queens. This is where the real answer lays for our pest probems. We just have to continue to be paitent, and trust we will over take these problems someday, and bring beekeeping back to where I was 50 years ago.
Winter losses, well, I like to see 12%. Last year was 30%. But that was mostly due to 20% starvation, thanks to a very abnormal year.
Thanks Ian,
The reason I asked your age was because you were unfamiliar with Agent Orange. The Viet Nam vets are getting older now and a whole younger generation never heard of it.
You are in Ca. and I'd be happy with 12% down here. Would you give any thought to overwintering a few nucs? Maybe indoors? I like the Carniolans myself. How big would you say a Carni cluster would be right now? I never bother them in winter but am told the size would scare me.
I'll try not to beat a dead horse, here; I just wanted to pass along a figure on pollination by honey bees that I read the other day that I think makes a lot of sense. I've been reading estimates of pollination rates and trying to discover the methods of the people who make those estimates since the debate about pollination on this thread.
The figure that I like, and has the best math behind it, in my opinion:
80% of all "fruit" (no grains or "vegetables" included) consumed by humans in North America is grown in orchards/fields with managed honey bee colonies in the area to provide supplemental pollination.
I think those numbers are more valuable to beekeepers offering pollination services than general comments about pollination rates across all species of plants, too.
Ya those carniolian type bees tend to have a smaller wintering cluster than the Italians, for sure. And it scared me the first few times I wintered them. Now I grin and bear it.
Fact of the matter, an outdoor wintering colony needs a good mass of bees to beable to maintain a good comfotable winter cluster, and maintain access to lots of food stores. smaller cluster eat less, but also brood less later in winter, leaving a smaller hive coming out of spring.
Most of my double deep outdoor colonies cluster are the size of a basket ball. Some are even b/w both boxes. Most of my Italians have maintained a cluster larger than that, and fall short for feed late in spring. So I try to avoid the Italians, but boy they are boomers if you can pack enough feed for them, AND there isnt any late winter cold snap surprises!!
Oviously Carniolian are much more conservative and most suited for our winters here. I love them!!
And boy, you know, after the first dandilion flow hits, they catch right up to the Italians and I am able to make equil split if not more according to the winter experienced. Makes me wounder why I even bother with Italians>?
Anyhow, my indoor nucs are a different story. They are managed in one brood chamber, and the wintering cluster is much smaller. Many are like a volley ball, some filling the whole box, but most are a good six inches diameter. Becasue of the limited area to work with, there usually isnt much honey for them to winter on (which is usually a good thing for indoor wintering hives) so I will feed them generally the same amount as I feed my outdoor hives. 2 good pails, or one more. The food displaces the brood as they emerge.
I know many talk of "over feeding" there hives on this fourm, but my stratagy is to pack as much feed into the hives as I possible can before the fall of winter, to ensure proper nutrition right from Oct. to middle of May. I can access my hives and feed them April, and by May they have lots of access to feed also, but by having a few frames of stored food for them during thier building period, in my own opinion promotes a quicker build. Also adds extra insurance getting the hives to spring due to higher than expected witter feed consumtion to warmer winters. And also allows more time for me to get to my hives during cool wet springs, the years we all dread!!
Anyhow, enough with my rambling.
What do you think of the Russians
Hello again Ian. Thanks. I don't have any Russians but plan for some this year. [06]. I've heard the supercedure bees get mean. The rest of it sounds too good to be true. I'm starting to think the Carnies don't handle the mites well. I'm very interested in what Rob Harrison had to say about the Russians. He likes them.
In my limited experience with Russians, they shut down even faster than Carnis if nectar flows slow down. They seem great at overwintering in small clusters, and they do seem to show great Varroa resistance.
The commercial keepers in this area have all told me that the Russians don't build up enough for early pollination, but those guys all ship their bees to California and Florida to pollinate almonds and citrus. According to them, they can't get the big build-ups they need for massive honey crops either with the Russians.
Please don't think I'm trying to dissuade you or anyone else from trying Russians; I'm just passing on my limited observations and the opinions of some big commercial keepers. To some people, the traits I mentioned in the Russians make them an ideal choice.
Is Rob using pure line Russians or is he crossing them out?
I don't really know. I THINK he recommended the pure russians and from Dann Purvis. He's written about them in the bee mags.

Town Square
Loving the Elbe
Original post made by Thomas Stebinger, Crescent Park, on Sep 5, 2006
Very well -- here is mine.
I love the Elbe and everything about it. It is the only place around here where you can get good German and Central European food at an affordable price, and I'd hate to lose it. I hope that it is not hurt by Bentson's mean-spirited and hostile review.
I've never found the variable quality that he cites, and since I've always eaten there at reasonable hours, I've not been troubled by noise from the bar next door. Why does he make such a big deal about this?
As to the food, I find Bentson's criticism erratic and nit-picking. I've never had the dried-up meat in any dish I've ordered. As for his comment on the limited wine list, I haven't tested it because I prefer beer, but I think it's unreasonable to compare it with what's available in a big gourmet restaurant, several times more expensive, with a "big name" chef and a sommelier.
Bentson reminds me of Michael Bauer's reviews in the Chronicle, who only reviews snooty restaurants that charge an arm and a leg and are priced far beyond what most of us can afford. Then, Bentson goes to the opposite extreme and compares Elbe's Kaswspaetzle with Kraft macaroni and cheese and asks why he can't have catsup with it.
Bentson doesn't seem to know what he wants Elbe to be, and it shows. To say the least, I was appalled by his review, which I found most ungenerous. I think he owes Elbe and its patrons an apology.

Dale Benston is a poor food critic. He's probably the most mean-spirited food critic that I have ever read. Benston's reviews are often spiced with the kind of put-downs that you describe above - a level of insult that's completely without subtlty, and is just plain hurtful...there's no other way to say it.
As such, Benston confuses the elevated role of food critic - ideally meant to educate and inform - with the role of "guardian of personal preference", with Benston's special put-down sauce added in for good measure.
In one review some time ago (I think it was a review of an Italian restaurant, downtown), he claimed that NO retaurant in Palo Alto serves up authentic Italian fare. In doing so, he trashed the Italian restaurant that he was reviewing, as well as all the other Italian restaurants in Palo Alto. This is par for the course with Benston.
What's sad about this is that there are some VERY good Italian restaurants in Palo Alto. If I owned a restaurant, and advertised with the Weekly, I would do so on the condition that Benston not be permitted to review my restaurant. He's that bad.
Benston's often about whining about how this or that restaurant's decor is tacky (according to him). In fact, I read one of Benston's reviews that criticized the decor in alocal Italian restaurant for its tackiness. But if one visits local neighborhood eateries in Italy, one often sees the same kind of decor. This is just another example of ignorance on Benston's part, spewed forth in a local Weekly newspaper, with consequences that can be dire for a small restuarant like Elbe.
In all, I think the Weekly could do much better than Benston. There is nothing ELEVATING about his restaurant reviews. His are simply the opinions of one who appears to know a little more about some aspects of food than the average restaurant goer but with a big axe to grind(in fairness, Benston does offer an occasional insight or two, but it's more rare than 35-year-old balsamic vinegar).
What's mostunfortunate is that the restaurant business here is VERY challenging. There are many different kinds of restaurant competing for an undersupply of customers. Reviewing a restaurant the way that Benston so poorly reviewed Elbe can have a BIG effect on a restaurant's bottom line, impacting the lives of restaurant owners and their employees in ways that food critics of Benston's ilk are probably not aware. (another shortcoming)
In sum, Benston's reviews tend to be more about him than about the restaurant. This is a problem with many critics, in general. This is a shame, because the role of the critic has evolved from a great tradition of essayists and cultural commentators (including the culture of food)in the past (there are some good ones currently out there)to one today where almost anyone who can write a cogent paragraph and can talk the buzzword talk (food, theatre, film, automobiles, etc.)seems to qualify as "critic".
Whatcan we expect? the Weekly and Daily don't have big budgets; it's hard to find quality. In spite of that, the Weekly has managed to employ some reporters and a few critics that could actually write copy for the NYT;; they're that good. Unfortunately - for Elbe, Elbe's customers, and the many fine years of quality service that Elbe has offered - Dale Benston isn't one of them.

On the contrary, he is one critic who is not afraid to voice his opinion on mediocrity.

C|EH v8 earns ANSI 17024
More information about achieving this milestone is available in the EC-Council Pressroom.
Jay Bavisi, Co-Founder and President of EC-Council, added, "We have worked hard for over 2 years to meet the stringent requirements of ANSI 17024 standard. We have scrutinized and challenged every aspect of EC-Council certification activities and operations. This has resulted in significant improvements to both what we do and how we will do it. This benchmark of excellence will give our customers even more confidence in the quality of our certification".
I can personally vouch that they indeed have worked on this for 2 years. I have been involved with a variety of panels constructing the exam and a lot of work has been put into it.

Reviews of this property
The Cosy Studio is situated very well in the city, easy to reach two metro stations. The personal is just perfect and helpful in case of extra wishes. The apartment is much smaller than you expect from the pictures. We had a little problem with the carpet as it is too old and needs to be changed.
A very nice and cosy little room, very clean and well equipped with everything you need. A good location for exploring Montmartre and the rest of Paris via the close Metrostations. We really enjoyed our vacation, thank you very much to Christophe and his parents for the very friendly and trusting contact regarding our stay.
We can highly recommend this accommodation.
Hello! I stayed at Christophe place. It was nice. The location is great! I could walk by foot to the main places of Paris. It is really very nice.
The owner is very hospitable and trusting. He showed Paris after he met me at the airport. I asked for a transfer to the place.
I am very thankful for hospitality and possibility to see Paris!
The studio is very nice and cozy,with a lot of sunlight especially in the morning. Close to Montmartre where you could have a night walk to see Sacre coeur shining in the dark, drink a glass of wine and go home by feet not depending on metro or other transport. The host is also very friendly.
The studio is very cozy and perfect for a stay of a few days for two people! Despite being the sixth floor and no elevator, after the first day you get used to the ups and downs already and for those who, like us, returning home only in the evening for sleep, it was not at all a problem. Obviously being on the sixth floor, the attic the heat feels a lot, especially in these days, but the two windows present and the fan creates a good air circulation and the night you sleep quietly. As written in the information, in the kitchen are already some essential foods such as sugar, coffee, tea so refreshments on arrival and all the appliances work perfectly. The bathroom is a little baby, but it all works perfectly, including the hair dryer. There is also a small table with two chairs to use for breakfast in comfort. The wifi works perfectly as soon as you connect. The studio then very close to five metro stations (Pigalle, Liege, Blanche, and St.Lazare St.Georges, all within walking distance in 5-10 minutes, which also serve different lines so the movements are really facilitated. Christophe is a really friendly and helpful, ready to meet any request and problem, and speaks very good English! Strongly recommended!
Il monolocale è davvero accogliente e perfetto per un soggiorno di qualche giorno per due persone!Nonostante sia al sesto piano e privo di ascensore, dopo il primo giorno ci si abitua già al saliscendi e per chi, come noi, tornava a casa solo la sera per dormire, non è stato per niente un problema. Ovviamente essendo al sesto piano, nell'attico il caldo si sente parecchio, sopratutto in questi giorni, ma le due finestre presenti e il ventilatore creano un bel ricircolo d'aria e la notte si dorme tranquillamente. Come scritto nelle informazioni, nella cucina si trovano già alcuni alimenti indispensabili come zucchero, caffè, tè in modo da ristorarsi all'arrivo e tutti gli elettrodomestici funzionano perfettamente. Il bagno è un pò piccolino, ma funziona tutto perfettamente, compreso il phon. C'è anche un tavolino con due sedie da utilizzare per una prima colazione in tutta comodità. La wifi funziona perfettamente appena ci si connette. Il monolocale è poi veramente vicino a ben cinque fermate della metro (Pigalle, Liege, Blanche, St.Lazare e St.Georges, tutte raggiungibili a piedi in 5-10 minuti, che servono anche linee diverse per cui gli spostamenti sono davvero facilitati. Christophe è una persona veramente gentile e disponibile, pronto a venire incontro a qualsiasi richiesta e problema, e parla davvero bene l'inglese! Consigliato vivamente!
Charming centrally located and ideal for relaxing after a great day touring Paris Studio. It is small but very convenient for sightseeing.
Has everything you need for this, kitchen, bathrooms, ....
It has very good connections with metro and bus.
Wifi works perfectly.
Characteristic restaurants, cafes, supermarkets in the area.
Christophe and his family are very helpful and speak a little Spanish.
To give something to improve, would change the towels.
If I have to return some day to Paris, certainly repetería in this study.
Coqueto Estudio muy céntrico e ideal para descansar después de un gran día recorriendo Paris. Es pequeño pero muy práctico para hacer turismo.
Tiene todo lo necesario para ello, cocina, baños,....
Tiene muy buenas conexiónes con el metro y bus.
Wifi funciona perfectamente.
Restauranes, Cafeterías, Supermercados en la zona.
Christophe y su Familia son muy serviciales, y hablan un poco de español.
Por poner algo a mejorar, sería cambiar las toallas.
Si tengo que volver algún día a Paris, sin duda repetería en este Estudio.
Cristophe was pending at all times.
Before, during and after.
We facilitated the way to get from the airport Charles de Gaulle and around the airport Orly. Even if you availability is offered to personally take you to the airport for a fair price.
The attic has Pigalle is small, ideal for paying what is fair and in a good area. Supermarkets and bus stop 100 meters. The metro also nearby. It is also equipped with details that make you stay easier: hair, gel, shampoo, coffee, pasta, sugar, coffee, etc.
We went with our baby of 18 months and in the inner courtyard could leave the stroller, along with some bikes neighbors.
Cristophe estuvo pendiente en todo momento.
Antes, durante y después.
Nos facilitó la forma de llegar desde el aeropuerto de Charles de Gaulle y también la vuelta al aeropuerto de Orly. Incluso si tiene disponibilidad se ofrece a llevarte personalmente al aeropuerto por un precio justo.
La buhardilla que tiene en Pigalle es pequeña, ideal para pagar lo justo y en una zona muy buena. Con supermercados y parada de bus a 100 metros. El metro también muy cerca. También está equipada con detalles que te hacen la estancia más fácil: secador, gel, champú, café, pasta, azúcar, cafetera, etc.
Nosotros fuímos con nuestro bebé de 18 meses y en el patio de luces podíamos dejar el cochecito, junto a unos bicicletas de los vecinos.
The apartment just in time for two people. There is everything you need during a short trip to the hand. The apartment is in a good location, close to metro stations and bus stops.
The apartment is located on the 6th floor so you need to take the stairs ochodzić.
No broblemów at check-in and -OUT. Good contact with the supervisor apartment.
Mieszkanie w sam raz dla dwóch osób. Znajduje się tam wszystko co potrzeba w trakcie krótkiego wypadu do Parża. Mieszkanie jest w dobrej lokalizacji, w pobliżu stacje metra i autobusowe.
Mieszkanie znajduje się na 6 piętrze więc trzeba trochę się po schodach ochodzić.
Brak broblemów przy CHECK-IN i -OUT. Dobry kontakt z opiekunem mieszkania.
We found the apartment easily. Excelent location and beautiful neighborhood! Christophe wasn't home but his mother was and she is a very nice woman and she explained to us all about the apartment.
Pros: location near to a lot of points of interest and to the metro station. Kitchen well equipied with all the basic dishes, microwave, etc.
Cons: the only real con we faced was the shower, as we only had a few minutes of hot water, and then had to wait quite long until it came back. Not a huge problem but worth mention. Not real cons: the six floors are heavy if you have a lot of luggage or if you are not in good shape, but is clearly adviced from the start, as well as the electric toilette, but if you are careful you will not have issues
Bottomline: EXCELENT CHOICE for 1 or 2 (max) person for a short stay in Paris, specially for young people that travel lightweight (my opinion)
If we come back to Paris we will probably go back to Christophe's!!!

New alumni officer brings experience, enthusiasm
December 20, 2012
Kathryn "Katie" Brennan's new job as Wayne Law's alumni relations officer brings her education and experience together into a "perfect fit."
She earned her J.D. in 2006 from Michigan State University College of Law after earning a B.A. in business administration from MSU. But she didn't take a traditional route after that.
"I started going to law school wanting to possibly be a prosecutor," Brennan said. "About half way though, I realized that I didn't want to practice law. But I wanted to finish. Education is never a waste. And I figured it would give me some great analytical and critical thinking skills. I knew it would always be a door opener. I was clerking for a sole practitioner all through law school. I did legal work, but I also did a lot of marketing work for him, and I realized I really enjoyed the marketing."
So after law school, she went to work as a marketing specialist for General Motors R * Works. She liked the job, but she wanted more contact with other people than she was getting there. She went on to work in income development and event marketing for the American Cancer Society and then for the American Heart Association as a corporate events director.
"I fell in love with nonprofits — the causes, the good people," Brennan said.
And then she heard about the alumni relations officer job at Wayne Law.
"With my law background, I thought, 'This is a unique opportunity!" she said. "I know the constituency. My husband is a practicing attorney. So I'm very familiar with functions and events and the fact that you need to build strong relationships. I really enjoy working with people. I'm really fortunate because this position is a blend of everything I love to do. I'm excited."
She has lots of ambitious goals for her new post.
"I want to do a more robust alumni engagement strategy for 2013 — all ages of alumni," Brennan said. "We're going to combine the Treasure of Detroit and the reunion into one stellar weekend event in the fall of 2013. Most of all, I want to have my eyes open and my ear to the ground on what the alumni want to see and what they're doing. I'm developing a vision with the Law Alumni Association, and assisting the development team to increase the level of engaged alums and explore how they're able to give back to the Law School and how the Law School can give back to them. I think in an ideal world, I'd like to see this alumni department become more research-based, one that engages the students, the alumni and the faculty together."
Brennan is a runner, a dog lover, a dedicated baker, a passionate traveler and, as the owner of a new home, a novice but enthusiastic do-it-yourself decorator. She grew up in Royal Oak and lives now in Troy.
Alumni are invited to share their accomplishments, advice and suggestions by contacting Brennan at firstname.lastname@example.com. She wants to hear from you.

My two kids and I very much enjoyed staying at Kaori's place. Very friendly people, comfortable house, good breakfast, quiet neighbourhood, easy access to the city center... I would say, a lot of quality for this price! Thank you Kaori, James, Anna and Lisa
Kaori and her family are great hosts.
They are very welcoming, helping and understanding.
They spoke slowly to help me understand them.
Their house is near a train station so it's great to move when we want.
It's really good that we can exchange mail before arriving to their house.
And Kaori is a great cook !
They can be sure that next time I will travel in England, I will stay at their place !!
Kaori is a great host, very friendly and we had an excellent stay with her and her girls! We really felt comfortable in their cosy house and enjoyed the daily breakfast. Due to good travel connections nearby, we reached London very quickly.
Thank you very much Kaori, Lisa and Anna for your hospitality. Highly recommended!

Both James and Kaori are very friendly and our stay there is a memorable one. Send emails / Speak to them and they will clarify promptly.
Kaori and her family were very welcoming and helpful. There is a train station 5 minutes walk away (about 30 minutes to central London) and regular buses at the end of the street. We felt at home straight away and the breakfasts were great! Thank you so much Kaori
