This chapter contains information and advice for those considering organising their own go tournament. Most of the information is directed towards one-day tournaments, although section 7.8 deals with the extra considerations required for longer events.
You should start planning a date and venue at least four months in advance. Naturally, choice of date will have an impact on the availability of venues, so it is good to be as flexible as possible for both. The BGA Tournament Coordinator can help you find a suitable date, although the tournament calendar, available on the BGA web site, can also help. It is obviously preferable that your tournament does not clash with another event; however, this does not matter so much if the two events are taking place several hundred miles apart, as there are not likely to be many people hoping to go to both! Also try not to choose a date too close to other nearby tournaments. Please contact the Tournament Coordinator for advice about your selected date.
When deciding on a venue, there are several factors you should take into account.
You should also check that the lighting and heating are adequate. Many lecture rooms and suchlike venues are only adequately lit at one end, and although it is not very difficult to obtain extra lights by asking for them in advance, it can be almost impossible to do so at 5 p.m. on a Sunday when the problem becomes apparent.
Once you have decided on a date and venue you should send the details to the BGA Tournament Coordinator, who will add your tournament to the calendar.
Most tournaments in the UK are run on the McMahon system, with three rounds (see Chapter 9 for details). However, this does not mean you should have to follow this format - in fact, it suggests that you should try something different, as many people would prefer a variety of formats. Some other formats which have been tried include:
You should decide the format well in advance, and inform the BGA Tournament Coordinator so that he can include it with the tournament details. See Chapter 11 for a discussion of the various tournament formats you might consider other than McMahon.
The results of BGA tournaments will in most circumstances count towards EGF ratings. Ratings are weighted according the tournament class, and the format you choose for your tournament will determine its class. Tournament classes recognised by the EGF are determined as follows:
Adjusted time is the main time plus the time to make 60 moves in overtime. Other tournaments (such as lightning or small board tournaments) are unclassified and do not count towards ratings.
The tournament coordinator will add this information to the calendar, although it may be chaged at the discretion of the EGF ratings committee. You may also demote the class if the lower class better suits your intentions (e.g. if you are trying a new tournament system). In this case, you should let the tournament coordinator know, and include the information in your publicity.
The two principal methods of publicising a tournament are through the BGA web site, and the newsletter. When you have sent the details to the Tournament Coordinator, the information will be posted on the web site and added to the newsletter for you. However, there are some extra things you can do which make this more effective:
It is useful to create a tournament website with further information about your event; the tournament coordinator will place a link to this on the calendar. The BGA can host a small website for you. This website can include the following information:
In addition, it is good to have an online entry form, to make it as easy as possible to enter - the Tournament Coordinator can help with this. You should request at least: name, playing strength, club, whether they are a concession (e.g. student or unemployed) and whether they are a member of the BGA (see section 7.6.1 for details of the BGA levy).
Nowadays, most people will enter your tournament online, whether by email or through an online entry form. It is good practice to acknowledge receipt of entries.
You will probably find, no matter how far in advance you announce your tournament, that most of the entries are received in the fortnight before the event. This is, of course, partly because there are other tournaments going on in the mean time. Therefore, you should not be too worried if entries appear to be coming in slowly!
It is also possible to include an entry form or tournament flyer with the BGA newsletter. This should include the same information as on your website. Typically, it is sufficient to send an email to the editor with the entry form in .doc format. Note that many members get their newsletter by email these will get most of the information about your tournament from the event's web page.
Copy dates for the newsletter are normally near the start of even numbered-months (February, April, June, August, October, December). The general recommendation is that tournament entry forms should be sent out with the newsletter printed one to three months before the date of the tournament, however longer, residential tournaments may wish to give more notice. The cost of circulating your entry form is one of the services covered by the levy. The newsletter editor will usually contact you two or three months in advance of your tournament with details of how to get your entry form sent out.
It may also be worth taking some of your entry forms to other tournaments which take place shortly before your event, although you will have to print these yourself.
You may also announce your tournament on the gotalk email list. The number of emails you send to the list should be kept within reasonable limits - one announcement, about two or three weeks in advance of the tournament, should probably be sufficient.
You can also contact secretaries of other local clubs to announce the tournament on their club email lists, since not all of their members will necessarily be BGA members, or subscribed to the gotalk email list. Again, one announcement should be sufficient.
Word of mouth is always an effective form of publicity, particularly for new tournaments. It is worth visiting local clubs (if you have any) and encouraging people to enter. In particular, you are likely to find several double figure kyus who would like to enter but who think they are "not strong enough for a tournament". This is of course incorrect - it is helpful to explain that there are likely to be other double figure kyus entering, and that most tournament systems allow for games between players of greatly differing strength. You can also consider a novices' tournament (see section 8.5.1).
You can try to promote Go, and your local club, by getting a story about your tournament into the local media. If you live near a university, it is particularly worth contacting the editors of any student newpapers as universities are a fruitful source of new players, and many students do read these newspapers. Pictures taken with a digital camera can be e-mailed to local newspapers together with a press release. This saves them doing any work and can result in good coverage in the local papers. A sample press release is given in Appendix C.
An important follow-up to such publicity is for the organiser or his assistants to be prepared to teach beginners who come along just to see what the game is about.
You should work out an approximate timetable for the rounds in advance. Make sure there is enough time between rounds - allow at least 20 minutes for any unexpectedly slow games or any difficulties with the draw. Remember to take overtime periods into account; it is quite possible to play through several overtime periods of 30 stones in 5 minutes, but very difficult to get through 50 stones in 5 minutes.
Remember to allow enough time for a lunch break (around an hour). If you are playing more than four rounds in a day, you might also consider a short break (say 30 minutes) during the afternoon to give people a chance to recover before the final rounds.
Some people will have trains or buses to catch, therefore you should publish an expected latest time for the prizegiving so that they can make plans. Make sure that you include enough slack in your timetable so that it is almost impossible to exceed this time! It is usually difficult even to start the first round on time, due to late arrivals.
The usualr way of allocating prizes is to give the biggest prize for the best score above the bar, and further prizes for all those with some number of wins. However, one does not know in advance how many winners there will be. Special prizes can also be awarded to people who have done well without winning any of the other prizes, or to juniors. Some tournaments also have a team competition, and award prizes to the team with the best combined results in the main tournament.
If you intend to award a prize for all results equal to or better than some number of wins, you should decide whether to allow jigos (by having integer komi) and if so, whether the qualifying number should be an integer. You may prefer to wait and see how things turn out before you decide what result is good enough for a prize. If you allow jigos you will have more flexibility in this.
Commonly awarded prizes are wine, chocolate or books (but do be careful not to award alcoholic prizes to children!). You may also want to buy a trophy (although many tournaments do not; it is difficult to get a Go themed trophy!) or award a cash prize, if your budget allows it.
When deciding upon an entry fee, remember that the following expenses will have to be covered:
You should aim to make a surplus on the tournament, which can go towards purchasing new books or equipment for your club. Note that there are usually several people who enter in the day or two before the tournament, or even who just turn up on the day. If you need to know numbers in advance (e.g. to make catering arrangements), it is therefore wise to set a closing date for entries and include a late entry fee, payable by those entering after the closing date.
Look at other events to get an idea of the going rates. Obviously, it is reasonable to charge more for a two day event (to cover room hire and the BGA levy) or if you are providing food.
The BGA Levy is a fee paid by tournaments to the BGA in exchange for use of the BGA tournament equipment (sets, clocks, laptop, software and mobile phone), public liability and loss/damage insurance, publicity and submission of results to the rating system. The tournament levy is not charged for youth events and is intended to approximately cover the costs associated with the provision of these facilities on an annual basis, including equipment replacement and travel costs.
There is no requirement for tournament organisers to relate entry charges to the levy charge. Current details are here.
The BGA can provide up to 100 go sets, boards and mechanical clocks for your event to use. Some of these are superior sets which are normally only used for special events. The normal tournament sets come in multiples of 12 (some loads have 15 clocks to cover for break downs).
Usually volunteers carry sets from one event to the next. This is arranged through the Tournament Coordinator. Clearly it may be more reliable and helpful if you collect some sets from the previous event, although this is not a requirement. The Tournament Coordinator will contact you some time before your tournament to arrange equipment. You will need to estimate how many sets you will require (obviously this will be half as many as there are players). This is not always an easy thing to do for a new tournament, but the Tournament Coordinator will be able to help based on the number of entries you have had so far.
There is a laptop with a printer available for the use of tournament organisers. To arrange use of the laptop, contact Geoff Kaniuk (draw-program at britgo dot org).
The BGA no longer has a Book shop.
The BGA has public liability insurance that covers all BGA affiliated events. For more details of exactly what is covered, please contact the BGA Treasurer.
Many people travel to tournaments not just for the Go, but in order to meet and talk to other Go players. Also remember that some people may have travelled a long way to come to your event. A social event, for example going for a meal after the tournament, is one way to make your tournament more enjoyable and memorable for these people, and may help attract them back in future years.
Even for a one day event, there may be people who would like to travel and will require accommodation, particularly those in remote parts of the country which do not hold many local tournaments. Sometimes, local people are willing to offer accommodation (e.g. a spare room or a sofa) to those who would not otherwise be able to afford to attend (particularly students). However, people do not like to ask, so you should make it known (for example on the gotalk mailing list) if such accommodation is available. Note that it is better to give priority to students and unemployed.
If you are organising a two day event (such as the Scottish Open or Welsh Open) there are some extra things you can do both to encourage people to come to the tournament, and to make the tournament more enjoyable. There are also some further organisational things you need to consider.
Apart from the three-stage British Championship, which is run by the BGA, tournaments are run by clubs. The exception is the British Go Congress which is run by a club on behalf of the BGA. The organiser is usually agreed a year in advance and offers from clubs are always welcome.
The British Go Congress is a weekend event, including the British Lightning championship on Friday evening, and the British Open. The weekend also features the BGA AGM. The British Open is a six round McMahon tournament, with one hour each on the clock. It is residential, with accommodation usually in halls of residence or a hotel. You may also let people find their own accommodation. Full board should normally be offered. As a rough guide, the 2004 British Congress in Milton Keynes attracted 67 entries, and the 2005 Congress in Leicester attracted 61.
A congress bank account should be opened, with two signatures required for withdrawals, as the amount of money handled can exceed £5000. The work can conveniently be split between one person responsible for accommodation and money, and one responsible for the tournament itself.
Since this is a large event, there is an associated financial risk. The club organising a Congress has two options: they can either take all the risk, and do whatever they wish with any profit; or have the BGA underwrite the risk (against a documented budget approved by Council) in which case any profit is shared 50-50 between the BGA and the organising club.

Pueblo County OKs 10 recreational pot shops
PUEBLO, Colo. - Pueblo County officials have agreed to allow recreational marijuana sales next year, but to cap the number of dispensaries at 10.
The Pueblo Chieftain reports that Pueblo County commissioners voted Wednesday in favor of marijuana regulations that set the framework for licenses, enforcement and fees.
The vote on proposed zoning rules for retail pot stores was postponed until Oct. 21.
The county also accepted a cap on the number of local dispensaries that can transfer from medical to recreational next year. No more than 10 dispensaries will be able to transition into Pueblo's new market next year.
Pueblo currently has six dispensaries in business and four more in the various stages of applying.

Golden Opportunity for Abandoned Gold Mines In Nevada City
Nevada City, California is working together with federal and local partners to assess abandoned mine sites. The City is using Brownfields assessment funds to evaluate whether these former mining sites are safe as future recreation areas. Grant funds are being utilized to assess properties, prioritize sites for cleanup, and analyze cleanup options for mine-scarred lands. The project also strengthens local partnerships through community outreach activities.
Located in California's Sierra Nevada, Nevada City (population 3,001) has a long history of gold mining operations, with 16 major mines in the area. After gold was discovered in Deer Creek, Nevada City rapidly became the largest and wealthiest mining town in California, with 10,000 residents. Consequently, mining changed the landscape drastically. Miners aimed high-pressure hydraulic monitors, like large water cannons, at the hillsides to strip away gravel in search of gold. Miners also introduced tons of mercury into the environment to extract the gold.
Nevada City and its partners are now assessing five major mine tailings areas located in the heart of the city. These areas are close to residential neighborhoods and four elementary schools. Historical research and initial assessments indicate that these sites likely contain mercury and arsenic. Uncontrolled releases from Nevada City mine sites impact numerous downstream communities by potentially contaminating water and drinking water supplies and elevating mercury levels in fish. Deer Creek in particular is an important fishing resource for tribal communities and low-income rural areas, but there is a fishing ban in effect due to mercury levels.
Nevada City's primary partner for the brownfields site assessment is The Friends of Deer Creek (FODC), a local community nonprofit organization. Their mission is to further community understanding and stewardship of the Deer Creek watershed ecosystem through research, planning and education. FODC was ready and willing to develop an assessment protocol and begin assessment, but they did not have expertise in writing and implementing soil sampling plans. EPA helped FODC by designing and implementing a comprehensive sampling plan. FODC was eager to utilize laboratory services which could process a large number of samples at low cost. EPA evaluated the proposed laboratory methods and recommended sampling methods which could accommodate use of this less costly method, while adhering to EPA sampling protocols.
One area has already been sampled, and three more will be evaluated in coming months. After brownfields assessment and eventual cleanup, the brownfield sites will be used for publicly accessible greenspace and open space for recreational, educational, and ecological restoration purposes. Nevada City intends to locate a "Tribute Trail" linking these sites. The Trail will enhance public access to historic sites, allow for recreational walking and running, and support smart growth principles of urban design. Markers will be installed along the trail to highlight and interpret the old mining structures and features throughout the area. Beyond providing recreational opportunities, Nevada City and the Friends of Deer Creek seek to gain as much information as possible about mercury located within the Deer Creek watershed to better understand mercury fate and transport, and reduce or eliminate downstream mercury transport in the future. In so doing, Brownfields site assessment and future cleanup will help protect the residents of Nevada City and downstream communities from potential health impacts by improving water quality.

More About Mercury
Mercury contamination from historical gold mines represents a potential risk to human health and the environment. Miners used mercury to enhance gold recovery in all the various types of mining operations throughout the Sierra. However, more mercury was used and lost at hydraulic mines than at other types of mines. Hydraulic mining was widely practiced throughout Nevada County. State and federal agencies are looking to develop a better understanding of mercury distribution in the areas affected by historical gold mining. Key issues of concern include impacts to public health posed by consumption of contaminated fish, improper handling of contaminated sediments, and direct exposure to mercury. Agency representatives are further concerned about how mercury is transported downstream, and bioaccumulation of mercury in the food chain.

Jury finds former Griz QB Johnson not guilty of rape
MISSOULA, Mont. - A jury of seven women and five men decided former University of Montana Grizzly quarterback Jordan Johnson is not guilty of rape.
The high-profile trial was scheduled to last 11 days, but Friday marked day 12.
Johnson was accused of raping a friend in her home on February 4, 2012. The woman testified as the prosecutors first witness, telling the jury she told Johnson no, but he wouldn't stop.
Johnson testified in his own defense, telling the court 'she never said no.' He repeatedly said if the woman had told him to stop, he would have.
In mid-March 2012 the woman filed a restraining order against Johnson, and he was suspended from the football team. That order was dropped and a civil no contact order was put in place at the end of March 2012 and Johnson returned to practice.
But in July, when he was charged with sexual intercourse without consent Johnson was suspended from the team indefinitely. He pleaded not guilty to the charge in August.
NBC Montana will keep you updated on this story.

I am only on Facebook to get a picture of my GreatGranddaughters every so often. also to keep up with a few more.

I am only on Facebook to get a picture of my GreatGranddaughters every so often. also to keep up with a few more.
Well I already have it set so NO ONE sees my activity on FB, so they won't make any money off me. I don't care to have everyone know when I "like" a business or whatever. I mostly lurk.
From the story on the link you would only have to pay if you want your post to have priority. They aren't making enoough on advertisers so this is a way to send you post to the top. So essentially the companies will priority their posts and the unpaid friends will be the posts at the bottom unless they pay too.
It reminds me of the postal situation. Businesses send out high volume of mail so they get discounts because they bring them in zip code order. A person mailing one little envelope pays full price because it has to be scanned. And our mail box is full of offers we didn't even request and a catalogue from every one we ever submitted an order to. Some catalog companies send me their catalog every 2 or 3 weeks, with not that much new if anything new.
However, if Facebook starts charging even a penny a post, or a fee to move your post so it can be seen above a billion company posts I will be dropping it. How can a company with their income not be making money?
If you read down some it says that Facebook will never charge its members. I know "never say never" but this seems like a hoax that comes and goes.
If facebook comes a knockin', I'm gonna be a droppin'.
Actually it is true but read how it works. It is your choice. http://www.businessinsider.com/faceb...s-2012-10?op=1
I wouldn't pay, but then I seldom post anything. I have posted one comment this year on my site, no pictures. I have it just so I can be friends and check in to see my kid's sites because that's where they put their pictures. No wonder the US Mail is going out of business - nothing is private, everything is on facebook for the skilled hacker to look at. Now I'll get off my soap box and back into this century. LOL
I would not pay fees to belong or get updates - its convenient to keep in touch with my kids and friends but its not an absolute with me.
Frankly my dear, I would not believe anything on Fox (faux) news
LOL....and hugs all around
I'm on facebook all the time. I joined about 3 years ago, and I play games on it and I post pictures and I keep my out of state family up to date with what's going on and I've met my neighbors and have found my friends from High School. I remember years and years ago joining Classmates and found a few people from school but then they started charging and oh, where are they now?!
On the other hand, I lived a full life before Facebook and I reckon I'd be just fine if it went away. I don't pay for any of the services I use on the internet and I won't make an exception for something as silly as having my post on top of someone else's newsfeed! And if one of my friends was doing that on a regular basis, I think I would end up changing their settings or ignoring them altogether!

|ACS 2006-1yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Selected Monthly Owner Costs
The data on selected monthly owner costs were obtained from Housing Questions 14 and Questions 20 through 24 in the 2006 American Community Survey. The data were obtained for owner-occupied units. Selected monthly owner costs are the sum of payments for mortgages, deeds of trust, contracts to purchase, or similar debts on the property (including payments for the first mortgage, second mortgages, home equity loans, and other junior mortgages); real estate taxes; fire, hazard, and flood insurance on the property; utilities (electricity, gas, and water and sewer); and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.). It also includes, where appropriate, the monthly condominium fee for condominiums (Question 13) and mobile home costs (Question 21) (installment loan payments, personal property taxes, site rent, registration fees, and license fees). Selected monthly owner costs were tabulated for all owner-occupied units, and usually are shown separately for units "with a mortgage" and for units "not mortgaged."
Adjusting Selected Monthly Owner Costs for Inflation
To inflate selected monthly owner costs from previous years, the dollar values are inflated to the latest years dollar values by multiplying by a factor equal to the average annual Consumer Price Index (CPI-U-RS) factor for the current year, divided by the average annual CPI-U-RS factor for the earlier/earliest year.
Median Selected Monthly Owner Costs
This measure divides the selected monthly owner costs distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median selected monthly owner costs and one-half above the median. Medians are shown separately for units "with a mortgage" and for units "not mortgaged." Median selected monthly owner costs are computed on the basis of a standard distribution. (See the "Standard Distributions" section under "Derived Measures.") Median selected monthly owner costs are rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
Question/Concept History
Since 1996, the American Community Survey questions have been the same. The American Community Survey collected the monthly cost of electricity and gas, and the 12-month cost of water and sewer. Since 2004, 'selected monthly owner costs' has been shown for all owner-occupied housing units. In previous years (1996-2003), the question was shown only for specified owner-occupied housing units.

I'm in the research stage of beekeeping. I plan on doing the DIY hives as I have access to all kinds of materials. That being said Is there a place I can find the name of the parts on the hive I've tried reading but without the pics I'm lost.
I'm in the research stage of beekeeping. I plan on doing the DIY hives as I have access to all kinds of materials. That being said Is there a place I can find the name of the parts on the hive I've tried reading but without the pics I'm lost.
Im not sure I understand your question right, but if you are looking for the names of the parts of a hive, just look at any beekeeping supply online store.
Please visit my page, Thanks
There is also a glossary here:http://bushfarms.com/beesterms.htm
This site has a basic illustration. http://m.almanac.com/blog/beekeeping...-building-hive
Good luck!
Thats what I was looking for now just to figure out brood and deep super what is the difference?
You might also take a look at the beesource build-it-yourself area. It can be found in the left side column on the home page.
No difference for most. Some people run all medium equipment though. I run all deeps and call the bottom two boxes brood boxes, and everything else supers even though they are the same size.
I prefer to run all dadents, now, having learned the hard way that deeps are often just too heavy! The other good thing about sticking to one size is that it optimizes flexibility of moving frames around.
Thanks I'm looking at the Langstrom 10 frame plans. Now I see on the link Queenie posted the diagram has a Queen excluder is that a necessary thing ? I'm also I only see one hole in the whole thing how do they get around in the hive ?
Sorry I should probably look it up in the search function but there are always so many topics.
The qeen excluder is designed to keep the queen out of the honey supers. Unless you like larvae in your honey. lol
Sorry for what? This is what this sight is for... helping "newbees" by passing on our vast wealth of knowlege.
FYI, don't over think the beekeeping thing. It's really pretty basic. The bees do just about everything. Sit back and relax.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
You should find your local club. Nothing beats talking to people in person and getting a look at a functioning hive.
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
Brood box refers to where the queen or where you want to queen to lay eggs. It can be any size box and any number of boxes. A super is typically a box where you want bees to put stores, mainly honey frames. A queen excluder is used to keep the queen confined to the brood boxes as she cannot pass through it but worker bees can. Personally, I don't think they're necessary and some bees will not go past them as they see it as a barrier and don't want to feel separated from the main nest. Some people have excellent results with them though. I find them useful for other things.
Brood box is just more of a term and doesn't signify any difference in design or functionality. You just want to decide if you want to use all the same size boxes for yourself (comes in handy) or have larger brood boxes and smaller ones for supers. I run all deeps myself but they get heavy.
Well the brood box makes sense as I figured brood as in nesting area kinda like a chicken brooder where the chicks go. Thanks for all the input guys. Next quest is Frames lol

2012 highlights
As lakes area residents prepare to ring in the new year of 2013, readers can take a look back at the highlights — and lowlights — of 2012.
Our communities lost several prominent residents in 2012, and deserving Citizens of the Year were honored in Pequot Lakes-Breezy Point and Nisswa.
Legislative boundaries were redrawn and area communities will have new representation in 2013. November elections returned veterans and newcomers alike to local offices.
Pequot Lakes sports teams and individuals returned to state tournaments. A popular Pequot Lakes High School interim principal retired, and the school construction projects continue.
For a month-by-month look back at some of the more prominent stories published in 2012 in the Lake Country Echo, see pages 12-13.
Happy New Year!

ABC's reality competition series "Shark Tank" made a visit to the University of Colorado Boulder on Thursday. On the show, aspiring entrepreneurs get a chance to pitch their big ideas to a panel of tycoons in the hopes of securing an investment in their business or product.
Casting manager Mindy Zemrak says that they have typically relied on nationwide open calls to find new entrepreneurs, but the show's producers are beginning to recognize the wealth of ideas that can be found in the growing field of college entrepreneurship.
"While we are starting to look more to university campuses across the country, we were particularly excited to target the Boulder/Denver area because it is really emerging as the next Silicon Valley," said Zamrak. "We are also excited about the strong entrepreneurship programs here at CU-Boulder."
For a few hours on Thursday afternoon, CU students, alumni, faculty and staff had the opportunity to pitch their ideas in an intimate setting.
"In typical casting calls, people get exactly one minute to present their ideas and we do not have time to ask them questions," explained Zemrak. "I really like this setting because it gives us 10 to 15 minutes with each person, so we can really get a better sense of what their idea is."
Schuyler Van Sickle, a recent graduate from the Leeds School of Business, showed up to pitch his idea to the show. Van Sickle, who currently is running two startups, pitched his idea for live feed for saltwater aquariums. He explained that while most saltwater aquarium owners still use dead feed, his idea to bring the benefits of microbiology to people's aquariums is still a relatively new one.
"I always said that if I had the chance to pitch to Shark Tank, I would," said Van Sickle. "I was very excited to see that they were coming to campus."
The casting crew took notes from their interviews, which they will bring back to Los Angeles and share with the show's producers. Entrepreneurs whose ideas are selected will be contacted in about a week and asked to pitch their ideas to the show's producers in the next round.

"Johnson Brothers China has been manufacturing ceramics for over one hundred years. The history of Johnson Brothers China is like a potted history of Staffordshire tableware. Why? Because they exemplified all the traits of the boom in Staffordshire china-making, typical of 19th-century England. Three grandsons of the reputable Meakin china dynasty (with the Johnson surname) bought a bankrupted tableware pot bank in 1882 and went out on their own. "Johnson Bros China," as the break-away grandsons became known, developed a durable, lightweight and beautifully printed earthenware dinnerware. Their reputation for quality but inexpensive dinnerware was only just beginning.
Now part of the Wedgwood Group, Johnson Brothers offer a wide range of patterns such as Willow Blue, Old British Castles Pink and Devon Cottage. Johnson Brothers tableware includes both traditional and contemporary patterns to decorate your table with a variety of shapes. The Johnson Brothers' range is suitable for everyday use, and they are dishwasher and microwave safe."

UPDATE: Missing La Crosse woman found dead
ONALASKA, Wis. - A La Crosse woman who went missing early Sunday morning has been found dead.
Police found the body of 23-year-old Neala Frye at approximated 9:30 Sunday night in a ditch near the Black River spillway in Onalaska. It's a marshy area near the end of Irvin Street.
Frye was last seen early Sunday morning at the nearby Spillway Pub.
Crews were out searching for Frye most of the afternoon on Sunday, after several of her credit cards were found near the marshy area down the street from the bar. Late Sunday night, a group of Frye's friends was searching a trail in the area and found her shoes, and her purse. Police were called in, and discovered Frye's body.
"There are really different pieces, different items found in different locations that make us think she may have been disoriented, and didn't really know where she was, for whatever reason," says Onalaska Police Chief Jeff Trotnic.
Chief Trotnic tells News 8 Frye's body was found about 300 yards down the train tracks in a ditch.18590732
At this point, Trotnic says foul play is not suspected.
"Maybe the elements and the weather had something to do with it," says Chief Trotnic. "But we don't make assumptions and we investigate thoroughly. The proximity to the train track, we also need to make sure she wasn't clipped by a train. There's no indication to believe that she was, but if she was that presents a whole other set of issues for the investigation to look at."
Frye was appearing for a beach party at the bar Saturday night as a promotional "Sol Girl" to represent her employer: Body & Sol Yoga, Massage & Tan. Police say she may have been intoxicated and disoriented when she left the bar.
The Onalaska Police Department is asking state investigators to help determine how Frye died. Those investigators are expected on the scene early Monday morning.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Onalaska Police Department at 608-781-9550.

Town Square
Many perspectives: Alamo is about to be defined
Original post made by Just me, another community, on Sep 19, 2008
Many perspectives, well-considered at the LAFCO meeting, provided LAFCO commissioners and neighbors in the audience an overall view of what makes our region dynamic. Although Alamo remains undefined, many ideas were shared about who we are and how we wish to voice our local priorities.
We are more a region contained in cities, spheres of influence and county areas than a single community easily described as Alamo. We are many cultures and political preferences. We are not our past as a semi-rural community and we are less together in our moves toward urban luxury.
Considering incorporation has been a catalyst for community definition and voice. In every step over the past seventeen months, a clearer divergence of perspectives has grown and more definition of our roles in government have diversified into many points of view.
Now, we must come together as voters and define our choice for local goverment. As of last night, that definition falls to the voters and must be in place before we cast our ballots. If we cannot define a scope of goverment that serves our diversity, we shall all likely indicate we are not ready for such government with our vote.
Consider carefully,
Just me

Dear Editor,
Iron Horse neighbors within the Diablo Vista region will conduct one of several discussion groups today. Although, all neighborhoods have completed their discussions of incorporation and have defined a government that would warrant our consideration as voters, our remaining discussions will focus on town council candidates capable of establishing a city government in our region.
In previous discussions, neighborhoods' representatives found qualified council candidates among the neighborhoods that refused such candidacy under the current AIM incorporation proposal. A fully undefined government with independent city council that has no obligation to citizen advisory in the formation of the government was considered an impossible task without guidelines. Further, such proposed candidates could not see any level of cooperation from council members elected from the AIM committee based on the past 17 months of autonomous, unilateral actions.
Today, our discussions will conclude qualifications and positions we will expect from candidates that warrant our vote. We recommend that all neighbors consider what qualifications and commitments are expected from council candidates to warrant approval of incorporation.
Please consider,
Karen Sexton

Dear Editor,
As a result of discussions among neighborhood representatives, and the lack of promised dialogue from the AIM committee, our discussion groups will end our interest in any current consideration of incorporation and move to appropriate regional organization of political and planning activities.
Alamo should be considered undefinable because it is factions and not a community. What is considered Alamo politically is a very small part of a regional community of neighborhoods.
Our liaison will be within our region and all governments and districts that service our needs. We will consider the proposed Town of Alamo more than a missed opportunity and treat it as a lesson learned in what our region must become.
Thank you for this FORUM and the opportunities that would have allowed the definition of a community named Alamo.

KAILUA-KONA >> A skiff that was found off Kona on Hawaii island is probably debris from the March 2011 tsunami in Japan.
The skiff was found Tuesday morning about four miles off Honokohau Harbor.
West Hawaii Today reports that the skiff was upside down in the water.
Charter Capt. Kenny Fogarty says he couldn't see any writing or markings on the boat, but he says the design is typical of a Japanese vessel.
There were concerns that the skiff, which was covered with barnacles, might be harboring invasive species.
The find was reported to the Department of Land and Natural Resources, which gave its OK for the skiff to be brought to the harbor after determining that suspect mussels had been scraped off at sea, leaving only typical gooseneck barnacles.

2. It's a sprint AND a marathon. Six-cup sissies stay home. Leave more space for the heavy hitters.
3. It's okay to use the coupon for a charity event; they created it to use (text SCOOP to 22122 for $1 off admission).

well we got race fans but 850k may be out of our price range.

I believe this section is for buying questions, not selling items. Besides, wouldn't Ebay be a better place for this?

transfer with UT bachelor to UT master
If you are currently studying to obtain your bachelor's or master's degree at the University of Twente and you want to transfer from the bachelor's programme or after your initial master's to a UT master's programme, there are two possible procedures.
Direct or indirect transfer
Find out if you can transfer directly or indirectly to the master's programme of your choice with your University of Twente bachelor's degree.
How to proceed?
Procedure 1 - You enrol directly
You can enrol in a master's programme directly if it has a direct link with your initial bachelor's (or master's) programme. For example, you may transfer from a Business Administration Bachelor's programme to our Business Administration Master's programme.
Procedure 2 - You enrol indirectly
If you have a Bachelor's (or Master's) degree from the UT that has no direct link with the Master's programme of your choice, you may be required to take a pre-Master's programme. You can follow this programme during or after your Bachelor of Science programme at the UT. For example, the Psychology Bachelor's degree has no direct link with the Business Administration Master's programme, but you can enrol in the Master's if you successfully complete your pre-Master's.

Real Money Slots
Can You Make Real Money with Real Money Slots?
If you type the phrase "Real Money Slots" into Google, you will get over 30 million results found. Obviously, these sites are popular places for people to spend some time trying their luck. The question though it, can you make real money on these sites? Perhaps an even better first question is, are these sites even legitimate?
To answer both questions, let's start by comparing online slot sites to the real thing. Las Vegas is the most popular place to play slots in the United States. There, the fairness of the games is ensured by the Nevada State Gaming Control Board. They require that slots pay out a minimum of seventy five percent of all money that they receive. According to the web site, vegasstripping.com, though, most casinos pay out closer to ninety five percent. This is due to competition. There are a lot of casinos in Las Vegas, and each wants you at their place, dropping money into their machines. Despite those high payouts though, they all still advertise no downloading slots worth one million dollars or more.
So, what about online slot sites? The first thing to know is that many of the reputable U.S. based firms are incorporated in, or have gaming licenses in Las Vegas. This is something to look for when you visit BestSlotsToPlay.Ca. If they are based in Las Vegas, then they are governed by the same gaming commission, and are required to have the same minimum payout rate of 75%. This will ensure the legitimacy of the place you're playing. What's less clear is that the actual expected payout is for some of these online sites, because there is less transparency.
So, my final recommendations are only to play machines that are based in Las Vegas, or some similar area where you can validate their identity, to know that they are licensed. Then, check social media sites to see which give the best payouts and you should be all set. Enjoy!

On August 15, 2012, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order rejecting Dixie Pipeline's proposal to change its injection capacity allocation policy. The proposal, filed with FERC in December 2011, was designed to eliminate an inadvertent allocation preference for a single large short-haul shipper to the detriment of all other shippers. NPGA worked with Dixie officials in the development of the proposed policy and intervened in support after it was filed. Nevertheless, FERC decided that despite the considerable latitude afforded to pipelines in developing methods for allocating pipeline capacity, the proposed change would unjustly subject a single company to undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage. Any party may seek rehearing of this result, but NPGA believes such a request would not likely lead to a different result.

SALEM, Ore. – The Oregon Tech men were able to shoot their best round on day 2 of the Corban Invitational, but failed to make up ground on College of Idaho, staying two shots behind the Yotes, and finishing 7th as a team overall in the event held at Creekside Golf Club.
Dalton Durrell led the Owls with a 78, followed by Tyler Dearing's best round of 79. The Owls combined to shoot 330, besting their first round total of 338 and second round score of 344.
Northwest Christian University's Tyler Falk posted a 71 on his final round to take top honors on the men's side by 10 strokes over Concordia's Jesse Heinly. Falk was the only golfer in the field of 39 to go under par with a 214 (-2).
With just three women golfing for Tech, the Owls were unable to place as a team. Alyssa Clement shot a 96, her best round of the invitational, finishing with a total of 298. Lexi Brannon came away with a 99 on her final round.
Sunny Powers added to her 10 stroke lead after two rounds yesterday, posting a 78 today, earning top honors with a total of 234. Powers bested Northwest Nazarene's Samantha Miller by 17 strokes, leading Concordia to the team title.
Oregon Tech will next head to Gilroy, Calif. on March 25th where Menlo College will be hosting their invitational tournament.

Story highlights
- Countries around the world have set aside land and resources for national parks
- iReporters share photos of their favorite parks abroad
- See the world's best national parks and find out why you need to visit them
This story was originally published in 2014, and we've brought it back in honor of Earth Day 2016
(CNN)From biking hundreds of miles in Patagonia to trekking across Myanmar, iReporter Anne Dirkse has set foot on all seven continents, and she's done it all on her own. The travel writer and photographer from Loveland, Colorado, spends months out of the year uncovering hidden gems in other countries, and says some of her favorite places to visit are national parks.
"I love nature, and the opportunity to experience its beauty, often in remote places, far from the noise and light pollution that so many of us are accustomed to in our daily lives," she said.
The United States may have been first to establish a national park -- Yellowstone, in 1872 -- but governments around the world have reserved thousands of acres supporting wildlife conservation, protecting natural beauty and promoting ecotourism.
As the summer travel season kicks off, Dirkse and others shared their photos of their favorite national parks outside the United States. Having visited more countries and parks than she can count, Dirkse had a few tips for travelers interested in touring parks abroad:
1. Take your time: "It is very easy to make your itinerary so tight that you don't really see anything at all, especially when you've come a long way to get there," Dirkse said. "Sometimes it is best to experience one thing slowly than many things quickly, and with national parks, the more slowly you can move the better."
2. Befriend locals: Ask local people their favorite places in the park, and listen to their stories, she suggested.
3. Sleep outside: "Almost all national parks allow camping, though rules and facilities vary widely, and for me it is the best chance to experience nature at its most serene, and often local culture," Dirkse said.
4. When it comes to weather, plan for the worst: Even rainy days can be pleasant if you have a hat and waterproof clothes, she said. Her best day at Rapa Nui National Park on Chile's Easter Island "was filled with intermittent downpours ... but between the rains, the light and clouds were incredible."
5. Know your limits: "It's important to understand that you are responsible for your own safety and that the precautions to prevent you from doing something stupid, or the services to rescue you in an emergency are often very different from what you expect back home," she said.

Urine C-peptide
This test measures how much insulin your body produces. If you have hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, or other issues related to diabetes, your doctor may order a C-peptide test. This test is often done using a blood sample, but a urine sample can also be used.
If you have diabetes, it can be hard for a health care provider to tell how much insulin your pancreas produces by just looking at your physical symptoms. A C-peptide test measures the amount of insulin your body makes.
C-peptide can be measured with either a blood test or a urine test. Sometimes the ratio of urine C-peptide to creatinine is used to help measure how much insulin your body makes. Your doctor may also recommend other diabetes-related tests.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
C-peptide levels are measured in picomoles per liter (pmol/L). A normal C-peptide test result is less than 200 pmol/L. Higher levels of C-peptide typically mean higher levels of blood sugar. They may also mean that you are making too much insulin because you have a tumor called an insulinoma. Lower levels of C-peptide mean lower levels of blood sugar or your body's inability to make insulin.
This number is just one factor your doctor uses to check your overall health. The ratios of many different components, including C-peptide, are important for finding out the best way to treat your diabetes.
A C-peptide test can be done with either a blood or urine sample. For the urine test, you can provide the sample at home or at a health care provider's office. Your health care provider will give you instructions on how and when to give the sample.
When a blood sample is needed, it is drawn by putting a needle into a vein in your arm or hand.
If a urine sample is used, it poses no risks.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries small risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Your diet, including when you last ate, can influence your C-peptide levels.
Sometimes the test is done after fasting, and other times it is done after you eat a meal. Your health care provider will give you instructions on how the test is to be done and, if needed, how to collect a urine sample.

I see there are many posts about going foundationless. I have read many of them including most of what I find on Michael Bush's website. I am a new beekeeper and I just got a hive(with bees) a week ago. It came with a deep and a medium super. I purchased another super with drawn comb at the same time that I picked up the hive. The beekeeper I purchased them from said he checked three frames in the medium before sealing the hive for me to pick it up. The were full of brood. Based on that, I added the super (with the frames of drawn comb) when I installed the hive on Sunday.
Today was the first day opening the hive and everything looked great (in my non experienced eyes). I did have two experienced beekeepers who walked me through the hive inspection. They started filling the newly added super with honey. The medium was indeed full of brood and had a nice pattern to it. I need to add another super and would like to go foundationless. I am not sure how to start or whether I can be fully successful doing it this year. I have been feeding them 1:1 syrup for the past week but will stop now. I hope to get to a point where I don't have to feed them again but I really wanted to get a good jump start this year.
I am hoping to get some honey this year and will only have one hive until next year, so I don't have a lot of room for error. Is it possible for me to go foundationless this year and still get honey? How would I do that? If not do I just do a few foundationless frames this year in preparation for next year?
I read that it is best to put the foundationless frames in between capped frames. Would I switch out some of my frames from the super that has honey and alternate? I would have to keep them marked since those frames were made when I was feeding them syrup? I searched the web hoping for a detailed plan but felt uncomfortable with what I found and my situation.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice that you can give.

Alexion to Pay as Much as $1 Billion to Buy Rare-Disease Drugmaker Enobia
Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ALXN), the maker of a drug for a rare blood disease, agreed to acquire closely held Enobia Pharma Corp. for as much as $1.08 billion, adding experimental treatments for genetic metabolic disorders.
Alexion will pay $610 million in cash upfront for Enobia, and as much as $470 million in addition if certain regulatory and sales goals are achieved, the Cheshire, Connecticut-based company said today in a statement. The companies said they expect the deal to close in the first quarter of 2012.
Montreal-based Enobia's main drug, asfotase alfa, seeks to treat patients with hypophosphatasia, which causes skeletal deformity, severe muscle weakness and organ damage. The therapy is currently in the second of three trials typically required for U.S. regulatory approval. No treatments are approved for the rare life-threatening disease.
"The Phase 2 data are very strong," Irving Adler, a spokesman for Alexion, said in an interview. The results of previous trials "are both highly encouraging."
In September, the Food and Drug Administration cleared Alexion's Soliris, chemically known as eculizumab, for atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, a rare genetic blood disease that progressively damages vital organs.
Alexion will pay for the deal with cash on hand and $300 million in bank debt. The company had $445 million in cash and short-term investments as of Sept. 30, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Alexion said it will provide a 2012 forecast in February, including one-time expenses related to the acquisition.
The company's shares declined less than 1 percent to $70.92 at the close in New York before the deal was announced and have increased 76 percent this year.
Goldman Sachs (GS) & Co. is acting as Alexion's financial adviser, and Ropes & Gray LLP as its legal counsel. Bank of America Merrill Lynch is financial adviser to Enobia, and WilmerHale is acting as its legal adviser.

Music Review: Aesop Rock's Skelethon
Uber talented Aesop Rock releases a near-perfect rap album Skelethon.
It's not like we thought this album would be bad; we just weren't expecting it to be a near-perfect rap album. American hip-hop artist Aesop Rock's latest album, Skelethon, just dropped and everyone, including the media, is scrambling to get a copy. Aesop sounds stronger, the beats are tighter and his rhymes are better than ever, making this one of his most accomplished efforts to date.
Seconds shy of an hour, this 15-song album flows perfectly from track to track. Touching on big issues like the death of a close friend and a failing marriage, there's a lot of emotion and issues throughout the album. Starting with the track "Leisureforce," with sick beats that can be attributed to Grimface Federation, Aesop sketches out a life of seclusion and leisure. At about one minute into the song we fell in love with Skelethon; its free jazz–like breakdown is perfectly placed to regroup and head back into the killer beat.
The singles "Zero Dark Thirty" and "ZZZ Top," which features gold medal–winning Chinese martial artist Hao Zhihua in its rather badass music video, are two perfect examples as to why Aesop should have been producing his songs himself this entire time. He knows how to compliment the heavy vocabulary found in his rhymes, which makes a world of difference on this album.
Best Tracks: "ZZZ Top," "Crows 1," "Cycles to Gehenna"
Skip These: Don't you dare!

I've been skating for 4 to 5 years and I am in ISI-level 4 but I have my lutz. When I was at a party, a family friend asked if I was working on my double sal. Isaid no, but then I realized that a double sal is "normal" for skaters who have been skating as long as I have as often as I have. If i asked mycoach about it she would probably think I'm crazy.
Still...anyone know of any floor exercises that would increase power and speed, and ability to rotate?

Best Uses
Comments about Philippine Wind Chimes Craft Kit :
We make wind chimes at our Vacation Bible School. We did not use the dowels that came with the kit. We used CD's that we drilled holes into. The first day we paint them and the second day we string them together. Tieing the small knots was difficult for the youngest kids. We ended up stringing a small bead to hold on the shell instead of tieing the knots. They do make a good sound when they clink together. The kids really enjoyed making this craft and it was something they were proud to take home and display.

Comments about Philippine Wind Chimes Craft Kit :
The key to this project is glue! Wherever the fishing line is tied or looped you must use glue to hold it in place. It is a tedious project, but if done with help and supervision can be a great success!
