Apr 1, 2011 at 12:57 pm #1271527
This is actually a slightly more specific question than the subject led on; it will apply to those using a gravity filter (any) and a hydration system. For anyone not using a hydration system, you can bail out now if you like.
If you connect your filter directly to the dirty water source, you can also bail out now.
For those who connect their filter at, or close to the clean water end are you using the tube from your drink system between the dirty water source and the filter? If so, what measures are you taking to prevent any contamination when you later return the tube to your drink system for normal use? I'm going to guess that flushing the tube with filtered water is the only practical method, possibly boiling. The alternative to this would be to carry two tubes (one "dirty"). From my limited research it seems like carrying only one is popular. Anyone here ever been sick from using this configuration?Apr 1, 2011 at 1:06 pm #1718508
When filtering: Dirty water bladder –> tube A –> filter –> tube B –> clean water bladder.
When drinking: clean water bladder –> hydration tube –> bite valve
I don't and I wouldn't recommend using "Tube A" as hydration tube. Is that your question? And I wouldn't because I don't think running clean water through that tube once or twice is enough. I would want to use chlorine to purify — and that's a whole another hassle.
Assuming you are happy with the total length (or height) from Dirty bladder to Clean baldder — can you use a shorter Tube A and a longer Tube B — keeping the total length more or less the same? Because with an appropriately longer Tube B — you can use that as your hydration tube as well — without risk of contamination.
I'm wondering about the reason for wanting Tube A to be longer. Jacob, if you are thinking that a longer Tube A would mean a longer "free fall" that will generate a greater force when the water hits the filter and thus resulting in a faster through-put — I really haven't noticed any practical difference at all — as compared to a shorter length Tube A.Apr 1, 2011 at 1:09 pm #1718511

I have to agree with Ben. This is the system I use when I have both my gravity filter and hydration bladder.Apr 1, 2011 at 1:21 pm #1718522
Ben, your description above is what I use (or have set up anyway). I just put together my system then it came to my attention that some people re-use the tube (tube A) which seems unnecessarily risky to me. I'm just polling the audience.Apr 1, 2011 at 1:27 pm #1718529
I see — although I can't imagine why anyone should choose Tube A over Tube B. But if there are, this thread should be helpful.Apr 1, 2011 at 2:30 pm #1718554

In the first days of gravity filters thirty years ago, the filter element was a new VW fuel filter, and it was difficult to get water to flow through it unless you had a 15-foot water head over it. I have no idea what the pore size was on the filter. The point is that if your filter is tight enough, you will need a lot of pressure to get the water to flow, and that means a longer tube. Now, I don't think that we use filters with those kinds of pore sizes, so I don't think that the tube needs to be so long.

The topic of contamination just came up in another thread. Basically, the OP asked "how many baddies does it take to get me sick?"
The consensus on that thread was if you're in relatively clean water areas, just a simple flush of the dirty tube with clean water will be enough to rid most of the germs out. There just wouldn't be enough to get you sick. However, use that advice at your own risk!Apr 1, 2011 at 3:09 pm #1718580
Ben, it wasn't a question of choosing to re-use the dirty tube ("tube A") when carrying two tubes, it was a question of carrying a only single tube (i.e. the tube from your hydration system).
Bob, I agree the dirty tube probably doesn't need to be very long. I have only just switched to gravity filtering and don't have enough extended experience with my filter (Sawyer SP122) to know what length will work best. Right now I've got a length of tubing that's about the same as the hydration system.
I think more than anything I'm going to look for lighter tubing as the Platypus tubes are not all that light. I personally won't risk going to a single tube setup to save an ounce.Apr 1, 2011 at 3:32 pm #1718586
"I think more than anything I'm going to look for lighter tubing as the Platypus tubes are not all that light."
Yes, I think that is the right idea. My longest tube is about two feet long, but it is not as heavy as the real hydration tubes. I think mine was from a shower kit, so the connectors are right.

"I think more than anything I'm going to look for lighter tubing as the Platypus tubes are not all that light. I personally won't risk going to a single tube setup to save an ounce."
Don't see how you can have a single tube set up, Jacob! As you described, you've got 2 tubes — tube A and tube B. The question is which one to choose for double duty as hydration tube, so you can avoid carrying a third tube, correct? It seems pretty obvious that between the two, A and B, one would choose B — the clean tube, to "multi-use" as hydration tube. And to put on the pack and position the bladder to measure out the correct length first — as hydration tube — before cutting. And once Tube B's length is determined, than one can determine the desired length of Tube A as part of the gravity set up.
A few years ago, I spent time looking at water containers, water treatment options, and hydration systems simultaneously — to make sure I end up with a compatible "system". YMMV, but taking bladder and all into account, I ultimately chose Platypus bladders and tubing for its overall light weight. The Playtypus hydration tubing itself may not be the absolute lightest, but I like how it works with my AquaMira Frontier Pro filter. Whatever the system, I recommend that people decide and shop for all these components at the same time.Apr 1, 2011 at 4:08 pm #1718608
"Whichever outcome, it's good to shop for all these components at the same time."
I think that is why we have REI stores.
–B.G.–Apr 1, 2011 at 4:14 pm #1718609
Alas, no, REI doesn't carry the AquaMira Frontier Pro. But that's fine… REI prices are rarely competitive. I'll pay REI's price preimium if I utilize their expertise and/or desire their unconditional warranty. But otherwise, for pricing, there are often better alternatives. Anything else, Bob?Apr 1, 2011 at 4:19 pm #1718613
Nothing else. It is just that REI tends to have a good selection of this kind of water stuff. So, if you need to hold it in your hands and feel it, that is one store to start with. It is difficult to judge the flexibility of a hose when shopping online.
Yes, REI prices tend to be a bit high. But, if it is only some $5 – $20 item, there is little point in driving back and forth across town (with gas prices as they are).

Hi Jacob,
I got the Platypus Gravity Filter – it comes in the following setup.
4 liter dirty water bladder –> dirty tube –> filter –> clean tube –> 4 liter clean water bladder.
Once you filtered the water, you detach the clean tube from the filter and fill the water into your water container. In our family we use Platypus Bladders as water container.
I have modified our gravity filter setup and eliminated the 4 liter clean water bladder and the clean tube. I use the CamelBack Filter Adapter. It comes with three pieces. One is attached to a very short piece of tube at the clean end of the filter. One has a valve and I put the Platypus mouthpiece on it. The third is attached to the end of my Platypus bladder's tube. Now I can disconnect the mouthpiece and connect the bladders' tube to the clean side of the filter with a simple click. All our bladders are set up like that. We can connect our bladders to the gravity filter without having to take them out of the pack and we save the weight of the 4 liter clean bladder and its clean tube.

To reiterate, I never said that anyone carrying a setup like you described, and I currently have, would choose to use a dirty tube for their drink tube. This would require disassembling the whole works and switching the tubes around; that's just madness.
Having said that – yes a single tube setup is possible, you're not thinking outside the box ;) One way is to remove the drink tube cap (with tube attached) from hydration bladder, screw it onto dirty bag, pull bite valve off other end and replace with filter. Point filter output into clean water bottle.
Ok, so that's a major PITA. Another way is to use the quick disconnect fittings supplied by Sawyer to make the tubes and bite valve couple/decouple easily. The new SP122 requires the use of at least 2 of these fittings anyway (they weigh 0.10 oz). To be semantically correct, yes, there are still 2 tubes however one of them can be extremely short. If the short tube is on the clean side (to maximize static head), then presumably the drinking tube is on the dirty side. If the other way around, such as shown in Tony Wong's review of the Sawyer filter, contamination is not an issue unless one decides to put that short tube in their mouth for some odd reason… however this produces the least amount of static head.Apr 1, 2011 at 7:51 pm #1718725
Hi Manfred. Hope you and the family are doing well.
My setup is somewhat similar to yours. I have the 4L Platy and had already been using the 2L Platy Hoser hydration pack. I added to this the Sawyer "3-Way" filter plus a Platy drink tube kit. I don't have a dedicated clean bag and will filter directly into the hydration pack. By using the supplied quick disconnect fittings I can easily decouple the bite valve and connect the Sawyer filter in its place.
I have only just put this together and tested around the house, but it seems convenient and fairly light weight.
Surprisingly the two Platy tubes weigh a total of 3.5oz (bare tubes, no fittings). The whole setup (filter, hydration pack, dirty bag, both tubes, all fittings) weighs a total of 11.8 oz on my scale. I'm hoping to get it down to an even 10oz by replacing the stock Platy tubes with something a little lighter, and possibly shortening the dirty tube just a little.

Reptile expert Brady Barr hosts Dangerous Encounters on the Nat Geo Wild channel. As the first person to capture and study all 23 species of wild crocodilians, Barr knows his way around a swamp. But, he takes some unexpected turns in Season 2 of the interactive TV game, Kinect Nat Geo TV for Xbox 360. Players will guide Barr through dangerous habitats while they test their own wilderness knowledge. During eight episodes of Nat Geo Wild TV programs, players are transported from their living rooms to oceans, lakes and forests. Kids can play mini-games that use Kinect's camera to transform themselves into hungry bears, snappy alligators and much more! Recently, TFK spoke to Barr about the game and his experience working with wild animals.
What did you think when Xbox 360 approached you about starring in the second season of the Kinect Nat Geo TV game?
(I was) really excited. Kids are really important to me. I have two kids— a 4-year-old and an 8-year-old — so this is right in their wheelhouse. I'm a former teacher so interacting with kids is a real passion of mine. What is so great about this (game) is they took real National Geographic documentaries and changed them a little bit to give kids control. They control the expedition in the film and from what I've seen, it takes it to a whole different level.
How do you think the game turned out?
Better than my wildest dreams. The animation and live action are incredible. It's Microsoft, so I knew it was going to be a quality product but it's better than I anticipated. A lot of hard work went into it.
What do you hope the game teaches kids?
I think it brings families together. It's something that kids can do with their parents and their siblings and be entertained but there's also a take-away. They're learning while they're playing. They can tell the difference between a crocodile and an alligator (and) they can tell you why they are endangered or threatened. I'm a big believer in hands-on-learning. Kids retain knowledge when they're a part of it.
You host Dangerous Encounters. What is it like to work so closely with dangerous crocodiles and alligators?
I've got the best job in the world. I've been to more than 70 countries in the last 20 years. I've interacted with crocodiles, snakes, the Duckbill platypus, polar bears and giant squid. I've hosted more than 100 wildlife documentaries. I've seen things that most people can only dream of.
When did you first discover that you wanted to work with animals for a living?
I was one of those kids that was crazy about dinosaurs. I was always good at finding animals and getting up close and personal. It's just something that always came naturally to me. I grew up in the state of Louisiana with cornfields as far as the eye could see, so there weren't a lot of exotic animals there. But, zoos and aquariums really fueled my passion and led me toward my eventual career.
Were you out exploring a lot as a kid?
Always! Hands-on. I was the kind of kid that was always dirty and catching frogs. Our garage was like the neighborhood zoo. My parents were super supportive. There was always a snake or frog loose in the house. A lot of credit goes to them.
So you always knew this was the path you wanted to take?
I was always passionate about animals but I really never knew what I wanted to do with it. As I got older, I realized I wanted to teach others about it and share my passion. I was a public school teacher for five years and it was something I loved. I feel as though I never left teaching. Now, I just teach through television and through Xbox Kinect.
What was your favorite animal as a kid?
That's tough. I was always fascinated by crocodiles as a kid because they just look so much like dinosaurs. Crocs are near and dear to my heart.
Do any animal scare you?
A lot. I know what some of these animals are capable of. The hippopotamus — that's a real handful.
For one show, you dressed as a hippo to get close to a pack. And yet, you're fearful of them?
Yes. A lot of people think they're just chubby, smiling, happy-go-lucky animals. It's the second largest land animal on the planet. It can weigh three tons, it runs like the wind and it always has a bad attitude. Where you find crocodiles, you always find hippos. I've had a lot of bad encounters with them.
I would never think that they are worse than crocodiles.
Crocodiles are my comfort zone. You throw a hippo into the mix and I'm running for the door.
You were the first person to capture each of the 23 known species of crocodilians. Why is it so important to find and study these endangered animals?
In my field, which is herpetology (the study of reptiles and amphibians), a lot of these animals are in danger of extinction. One-third of all crocodile species are threatened with extinction. I often give talks and say, "If I was talking about the warm and fuzzy animals of the world, you would be throwing conservation dollars at my feet." But when you talk about the cold and scaly animals, people are headed for the exits. They're just as important as the "warm and fuzzies" that tug at our heartstrings. I have kind of become a spokesman for the "cold and scalies" of the planet.
In 2007, you were badly bitten by a massive python in a cave in Indonesia. Could you talk about that experience?
It was called the bite heard around the world. People laugh at me all the time and I say, "If you were in that cave, waist deep in bat guano with a giant snake wrapped around you and then it bit you, you would scream too!" And people often say, "that snake attacked you." I grabbed it by the tail and I was trying to capture it for some scientific data. The snake didn't do anything to me. It was just defending itself.
Do you think viewers learned anything from that experience?
I hope that they learn something from every film I've done. There's always a conservation message. In that particular film we were trying to determine why so many of these giant snakes use that cave.
Did that injury slow you down?
When you work with these kinds of animals injuries just come with the territory, so it wasn't that big of a deal. I've had injuries that are a lot worse.
What animal has injured you the most?
Crocodiles because they're big and strong. Whenever you have to interact closely with an animal that weighs one ton – accidents happen.
If you could trade places with one animal for a day to see how it lives, what animal would you trade places with?
One of the Xbox Kinect games is the jumbo squid. Science knows very little about these animals and they're huge. I would be a jumbo squid just to see what they do and where they go. Great white shark would be another one.
What's your favorite part of the Xbox game?
I think most people would say it's being the animal. But for me, it's driving the action and watching to see what decisions other players make. A lot of times they're making a decision that will send me off in the wrong direction just to see what happens to me!
How can kids get started working with animals?
Information is the key. My kids get interested in a particular animal, say a salamander, then they try to find out as much about it as they can. They want to go to the zoo or aquarium and I try to enable them. My wife and I try to open as many doors as we can so they can pursue this passion.

Right now, in New York City, 2.6 million New Yorkers are having difficulty affording food. Food Bank For New York City works as the city's hub for integrated food poverty assistance, tackling the hunger issue on three fronts — food distribution, income support and nutrition education — all strategically guided by its research. Learn more about how our programs help New Yorkers in need throughout the five boroughs.
Emergency food is a critical first step in the continuum
of services needed to address food poverty. With the assistance of a staff
nutritionist, Food Bank procures, stores and distributes more than 60
million pounds of healthy food every year, including fresh produce. The core of
our food storage and distribution operation is our 90,000-square-foot warehouse
in the Bronx. A full-service delivery operation, Food Bank dispatches tractor trailers from the warehouse five days a week
to our citywide network of
approximately 1,000 schools and member programs, including food pantries, soup
kitchens, senior centers, after-school programs, daycare centers and more.
income support services, including food stamps, free tax assistance for the
working poor, and tax credits, put millions of dollars back in the pockets of
low-income New Yorkers, helping them to achieve greater dignity and
independence. With
approximately 1.4 million New York City residents relying on soup kitchens and
food pantries, access to SNAP (better known as Food Stamps) is critical for
those struggling to afford food. Food Bank helps these vulnerable New Yorkers receive
the SNAP benefits that can help them put food on the table. Almost 250,000 New Yorkers
who are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) don't apply for it. To help rectify this problem,
Food Bank offers free tax preparation assistance at 17 sites in all five
boroughs—the largest free tax assistance service for civilians in the nation.
Food Bank also provides virtual tax filing, which enables people in
lesser-served areas to have their returns prepared and filed remotely.
Bank's nutrition education efforts are another vital part of this continuum.
Our nutrition education program in the public schools reaches more than 40,000
children, teens and adults. The curriculum for students ages 5 to 12 includes
interactive cooking activities to foster children's enjoyment of healthy foods,
and fun exercises to promote an active lifestyle. Teenagers take what they
learn one step further, serving as good health ambassadors at their high
schools by conducting nutrition education workshops for their peers. Through free
workshops held at our network of food pantries and soup kitchens, we encourage thousands
more people to make wiser nutrition choices with limited food dollars.
TEN links member programs—each playing different roles in
providing services—to refer clients to each other and together provide a full range of needed benefits, from emergency food to SNAP benefits (food stamps) to income tax
assistance and more. Because clients have an established and trusted relationship with their local emergency
food provider, odds are they'll be receptive to the outreach and follow through
with the referral. Over the last year, TEN has expanded from 88
participating organizations to 156, and through this program the Food Bank has
submitted benefits applications for 4,000 households.
Food Bank not only works with its member organizations
to provide the services described above, but is also committed to developing
and implementing programs to directly benefit members of the NYC community. Our
Community Kitchen and Food Pantry of West Harlem provide more than 50,000 free
meals each month to New Yorkers in need, including 10,000 hot meals in the
Community Kitchen. Meals are enhanced by the use of items from the Kitchen's
own vegetable and herb garden and from Food Bank's Community Supported
Agriculture (CSA) Program, which connects Harlem residents with farmers to help
them obtain fresh, affordable produce. Downstairs from the Kitchen is the Food
Pantry, where families can receive fresh, healthy food in a supermarket-style
setting, making selections to fit their needs.

Southern Boone County students mourn classmate
Police: 17-year-old student threatened school then died by suicide
ASHLAND, Mo. - Students and faculty are mourning the loss of a 17-year-old Southern Boone County High School student, who police say threatened the high school via text message then killed himself when police arrived at his home.
School on Tuesday in all Southern Boone County District schools was canceled because of the threat.
Classes were back in session on Wednesday and extra counselors were available for students and staff.
School administration discussed the incident with students according to grade level. School leaders brought up topics including suicide prevention, hopeless feelings, bullying and what to do if someone receives a threat.
"We are just trying to help kids get through this," said superintendent Chris Felmlee.
Many students wore yellow shirts in remembrance of their classmate and to promote suicide awareness and prevention.
"The kids thought of it themselves," said Felmlee. "I thought it was a respectful way to deal with the situation that we're dealing with and there's a lot of support."
Some students told ABC 17 News that the student who killed himself was bullied at times by others and did not have many friends. However, one classmate said "he was still a good person and a lot of people cared about him."
September is National Suicide Awareness Month and yesterday, the day of the student's death, was National Suicide Awareness Day. The month and day are promoted by the World Health Organization are dedicated to spreading the message about suicide awareness and prevention.

What can you expect from the pathway to Social Science?
This is what Lisa Cullen (one of our Pathway to Social Science students) had to say about her experience so far.
Lisa Cullen took the Women into Public Life and Women into Management courses at the Centre, and went on to study psychology and counselling to help in her role as a voluntary Youth and Community Worker in Ely. Lisa heard about the new Pathway to Social Science through her tutors.
Lisa says "I left school with no qualifications as I didn't see the importance of education. It is only after the last few years that I have come to recognise that knowledge is the key to a successful life which has led me to Cardiff University. I have met inspirational tutors and students on my journey towards the Pathway to Social Science and I now realise that we all can achieve our dreams – if we put in the hard work! I have gained confidence and self-belief."
Why not start your learning journey by enrolling on the Pathway to Social Science? The Centre will take new enrolments from August 2013. If you would like to find out more in the meantime contact Jan Stephens firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 029 2087 6248.

AOL Partners With Free The Children For First WE Day UK Launch
Mar 11, 2014
This year, AOL was the digital media partner for We Day UK, an event for 12,000 students and teachers from over 700 schools in the UK. Bringing together a number of musicians and global leaders - including Prince Harry, Ellie Goulding, Sir Richard Branson, Dizzee Rascal, Malala Yousafzai and Al Gore - We Day UK celebrated the amazing changes young people are making in their local communities.
As the proud media partner for We Day UK, we had a strong presence both on and off line. Not only did we host a live stream from the Aol.co.uk homepage, but we encouraged young people across the country to design a logo that they felt represented our partnership, for the chance to win a £1,000 school bursary, tickets to the event and the opportunity to have their image become the official AOL Canvas logo for We Day.
Myself, and UK Managing Director, Noel Penzer, took to the stage to discuss AOL's involvement and alongside our AOL Canvas Competition winner, 7 year-old Grace Novakovic. Along with the AOL homepage, The Huffington Post UK and Parentdish came together to cover the story from all angles, including the latest headliner announcement on how your child can find a cause they care about. Staff from the UK office also volunteered for the day, helping make the event the success it was.
As our charity partner for the year, we will continue to support Free the Children by hosting a number of fundraising activities throughout 2014, including sending out staff to help build a village in Kenya in June.

WEST HAVEN >> Rep. Stephen Dargan of West Haven doesn't back down from a fight. When people call and leave threatening messages he calls them back.
By Friday at 2 p.m. he had about 70 messages on his home answering machine in response to his proposal to make the names and addresses of gun permit holders public. That information has been confidential since 1994.
"Everytime you try to expand Freedom of Information statutes everybody goes nuts," Dargan said Friday.
But he's not fazed by the opposition to the bill. "I'm used to it," Dargan said. "I've been a representative for a very long time."
Dargan was elected to the House in 1990.

Re: Tiramisu needed!!!
I have made many tiramisu in my life, but this one is the best so far, and a recent descovery!
adapted from the book
Sweet As, easy to make desserts and baked treats, by Alessandra Zecchini.
beat 3 egg whites (stiff). in another bowl beat 300 ml of whipping cream, and in another 3 egg yolks with 1 tbsp of sugar. then fold everything together, beating a little (it should be nice and foamy, not too runny). use one pack of savoiardi biscuits, soak, one by one, only the sugary side in a mixture of espresso (1 small cup) + 1 tsp sugar and 15ml whisky. use hald packet first and place the biscuits, soaked side up, in a serving bowl. cover with half of the creamy mixture, then add a second layer of soaked biscuits, and top with the reast of the cream.
Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, and dust with (a lot of) ground espresso coffee (one hour before serving)
I can tell you that i will never use mascarpone again for a tiramisu (apparentely this used to be the poor Italians' tiramisu, because cream was cheaper) and also dusting with coffee, instead of cocoa! i couldn't believe it before trying, but the taste is amazing!
I hope you can understand the recipe, I didn't copy it word by word from the book because, althought I see a lot of people doing it, I think that it is probably illegal...if you can find the book there is also a Fruit of the Forest tiramisu (with mascarpone) but I will wait for the berry season to make it.

I am relatively new to propmaking so I had a question. When you say that you have a Fett helmet and you had to sand and fill it what do you mean by fill? What are you using to fill it?
I am relatively new to propmaking so I had a question. When you say that you have a Fett helmet and you had to sand and fill it what do you mean by fill? What are you using to fill it?
Bondo. Or some other type of filler product. They make a spot and glaze putty that works well for small places.
Oh got ya. See when I think of Bondo I think of it as like a glue, or something, and not a filler. And I suppose that it wouldn't matter if the putty was white or something because you would be sanding it and painting it right?
Spot putty is awesome stuff, its $2.00 at wal-mart.
You can also mix superglue and baby powder together. Just drop some glue out on a scrap piece of plastic (NOT paper) and slowly add the baby powder untill you get a putty consistancy and add where needed. It drys pretty fast so work quickly......
Cool thanks guys, and can I pick up Bondo or Spot putty in the paints section at Walmart?
Its around the fix it yourself in automotive.
The fiberglass stuff is there also.
Awesome, thanks psberetta!
Oh one more thing. I am going to be working with sintra to make my own jet pack. What kind of glue should I use to put the pieces together, or what would you suggest that I do?
No prob.
I used superglue to kind of tack it in place.....Then use E-6000 on the inside of the joint, if you can.You can use this stuff other than how it says. It works without putting it on both sides and waiting 10 min.
If you can't get to the inside, superglue the whole joint.
Sintra is full of VERY small pockets and after you glue it, its over.
If its in the wrong spot, you will have to cut it off or break it off
www.E-6000.com <<< Try here
Thanks, I am going to see if I can find any of the stuff at my local hardware store. Man it is nice to have a great resource like TDH.
I have been helped here a TON also.
Just tonight , about making a mold.
I always try and share info
Yeah out of all the other boards this is my favorite by far.

Growing influence with leadership resources
Professor to host leadership April 29 seminar
By Alexandria Sanchez
Student Writer, College of Liberal and Fine Arts
(April 16, 2007)--Edwin Barea-Rodriguez, UTSA associate professor and interim chair of the Department of Biology, will host the fourth annual leadership seminar, "Maximum Impact Simulcast: The Influence Index -- Increasing a Leader's True Value," from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday, April 29.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Broadcast from Atlanta, Ga., the live leadership seminar will include more than 70,000 business professionals participating via satellite downlink in 500 cities across North America. Speakers participating in the simulcast include NBA coach Mike Krzyzewski; Mark Sanborn, author of "The Fred Factor;" and former U.S. Marine Corps Commandant Charles Krulak.
The leadership seminar will focus on the qualities that all great leaders have in common. Based on the best-selling book, "Winning With People" by John C. Maxwell, each speaker will discuss their personal careers and experience, and provide perspective on how to unleash influential leadership power.
Maxwell is the author of such best-selling books as "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" and "The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork." As the founder of Maximum Impact and INJOY, organizations dedicated to providing resources and training for personal and professional growth, Maxwell is an authority on personal and organizational leadership development. Executives from organizations such as Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, Chick-fil-a, Primerica, Mary Kay and the Indianapolis 500 drivers have utilized his leadership training methods.
Tickets are $56; UTSA community members receive a discounted price of $46. After April 16, tickets are $66 and the price at the door is $85. The event will be hosted at Fortress Church, 7760 Prue Rd., San Antonio, Texas 78249.
According to Barea-Rodriguez, the seminar is not religious in nature. Last year, representatives from the San Antonio police department, public schools, city government, business community and other organizations participated in the seminar. "I hope that you give serious consideration to attending this powerful event with your students and staff," said Barea-Rodriguez.
A certificate for six hours of professional leadership development credit will be given upon request.
Individuals can register online at the Maximum Impact Web site. For more information regarding tickets paid with UTSA funds, contact Edwin Barea-Rodriguez at (210) 458-5481 or Carlita Contreras at (210) 458-4933.

About the Model L310NC
In collaboration with clarinetist Julian Bliss, the Leblanc Bliss clarinets were designed to be high quality, affordable instruments. These clarinets are free blowing, but still allow the players to create a beautiful tone due to the unique bore design, undercut tone holes, voicing groove in the bell, and specially designed ringless BLISS barrel and bell. The hybrid model's body and bell is made from the durable composite material of the L320N, but includes a wooden barrel instead of a composite one to help students achieve a more mature sound. Adjustment screws on the crow's foot and pinky keys make it make it easy to keep keys in adjustment.
The Leblanc Bliss clarinet not only has a beautiful, seamless look, but it also will help players achieve a smooth scale, even intonation, and beautiful tone.
- New composite material not used by anyone else in the market - so strong we offer it with a 10 year warranty!
- Wooden BLISS Barrel - gives young players a warmer, more mature sound without having to invest in a wooden clarinet
- Voicing groove in bell for improved upper register intonation and tone quality
- Medium - small bore is free blowing but also helps control the sound
- Adjustment screws in the keys that get the most out of adjusment - the pinky spats
- Reinforcement bar on lower joint
- Ringless BLISS barrel and bell - more resonant sounding and sleek looking
- Undercut tone holes - smoother scale
- Durable plastic case

The appartment was very clean and has great interior. The kitchen was very complete, everyting you need is included.
The bed is very good. The appartment is very close to supermarkets and Cologne. Alain was a great host and we will certainly come back!!
Thank you guys!
A wonderful apartment. Great time in great place and very friendly landlords.
All the best!
We had a very good stay in a modern apartment. Everything you need is in the apartment. We even could play our own music! There is a CD-player and you can connect iPod or other source on the installation - if you have a connecting cable.
The apartment has a big terrace with sun all over the day.
The apartment lies in a nice suburb of Köln. It's really worthwile to walk around in this area! The tramcar (UBahn) brings you in twenty minutes form Köln-Hbf to Hürth and then it's only seven minutes walking.
The owners are very hospitable and communication was perfect
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the apartment is lovely and new with easy access to Cologne via road or rail and is really good value for money. The outdoor deck area is great and adds a lot more space to the apartment. As with other German apartments in summer, the only thing missing is a fan to help cool things on hot nights. I would definitely recommend this apartment.
Recently built apartment, much nicer than in the picture! Ideal for couples who travel by car because it includes a private parking. The center is easily reached by transportation that are within a few minutes walk away. Nearby there is a daily open petrol station that also sells foodstuffs. We found the accommodation very clean and tidy, just like in the picture! The owner is very friendly, patient, caring and considerate. Just an advice: if you have a tom tom like us, updated maps to 2012, despite careful because the correct post code takes you Luxemburger Strasse in Cologne! Continue along the same road in the opposite direction to the center because the numbering restarts to Hurt!
Apartament was excellent:) in new modern "passive" luxury quiet flat, clean, comfortable (tv52", comfort bed, complet full kitchen (DeLonghi coffe service), wi-fi, x-box:)) and simple/easy way to center (10 min by "train") and Koln Messe 20-25 min. Near by apartment: train station (4min walk), supermarket, restauration. Very good contact with owner Mr. Alain:)
Last words: I will reserve this apartment for my next visite in Koln:)))
Alles war super. Die Wohnung ist komfortabel und geräumig, der Kontakt mit Gastgeber sehr schnell und unkompliziert. Große Terrasse und Nespresso Kaffeemaschine mit Gratis Kapseln waren die Highlights für uns. Sehr gutes Preis - Leistungsverhältnis!

Reviews of this property
Marianne is a very nice person and very helpful.
The appartment is very comfortable, it's like at home!
Very nice apartment. Close to the métro and train that goes directly to the airport for 72 crowns for the two of us (about 15$CA). A taxi costed us 800 crowns from the cruise ship to the airport (about 165$CA) 2 months previously. Ideal to visit Copenhague from there. The apartment has large room, kitchen very well equiped, clean. The bathroom is far from the bedroom (scary a bit when you go to bathroom during the night). Marianne is a wonderfull woman. Thanks!
The apartment is wonderful and colse to the park as well as the Osterport Station. You can walk to the city center (through the park) within 15 minutes or catch a bus at Osterport.
Marianne is very friendly and it was an awesome stay overall!
Together with our 2 girls, we had wonderful 3 days in København staying in Mariannes unique apartment.
Marianne was a great host and is as unique as her Apartment which we really loved! On one hand it was very stylisch but on the other hand also cozy. We loved the new sprkeling floor. Even if we paid a fortune for parking (however just in front of the building for 3 days ) we enjoyed all our daily tours around Copenhagen just walking! We will definitely come back! Thanks, Marianne!
wow! That was great, the location, the apartment, especially Marianne, app. 10 different lamps in her flat each one turned out to be real art of a german artist the name I forgot again but they are really great!!!! I recommend this to every one. The only thing was the wifi which didn't do we wanted it to do but it was a technical problem I hope is solved when the next gast come!!!
I recommended this flat already to some friends of mine!
This is a charming flat in a lovely neighbourhood in the heart of Copenhagen. The flat is very spacious, clean and comfortable and Marianne is a wonderful host. We liked everything and enjoyed our stay very much, it's very easy to get to any point of interest in Copenhagen from the flat, which is a few minutes away from the train station which links to the Metro and runs directly to the airport.
Our landlady was very friendly. The transfer went very well. The oven was broken, but otherwise everything is found as described.
Unsere Vermieterin war sehr freundlich. Die Übergabe hat sehr gut geklappt. Der Backofen war kaputt, sonst aber alles so vorgefunden wie beschrieben.
Really excellent - spacious, clean, everything one could need for self-catering, and only a few minutes walk from the local station.
This was our second stay in this lovely appartement and we were just as happy as last year. Spacious, beautifully furnished, quiet neighborhood, great location. In addition, Marianne is very flexible regarding check-in/ check-out time which is very convenient for early arrivals and late departures. It is a pleasure to recommend this appartement.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Editor's note: This is the first story in a three-part series examining development proposals for the former Sears property in downtown Lake Charles.
Ryan Street Lofts is the proposed name for an estimated $20 million development that Baton Rouge businessman Donnie Jarreau wants to build in the 600 block of Ryan Street.
Jarreau is one of three developers who bid on the 3.7-acre tract of city-owned land in downtown Lake Charles.
He said preliminary market research led him to believe that additional housing is needed in the city.
"I do a lot of multifamily developments. I'm in the process of building a development in downtown Baton Rouge," he said. "We inspected the downtown Lake Charles site and believe it is great. We also believe Lake Charles can become the next great city in Louisiana."
Since Lake Charles is considered a growing economic engine in the region, Jarreau said, it makes since to invest here. He has already bought 60 acres of land near Big Lake and Tank Farm Roads in anticipation of industrial growth along the Calcasieu River corridor.
"I'm investing in Lake Charles. I am here. We want to be a good community leader. I think we can bring ideas from a large city and be progressive with our designs," he said.
Other interested developers are Erdace Apartments, headed by Roger Landry, and Geddings Development Corp., led by Gray Stream.
Jarreau has offered $957,500 to buy the land and proposes building a three-story, 188-multifamily-unit facility that would have retail space and on-site parking. He is comfortable with City Hall's bidding process.
"It is fair. A developer has to bring their best offer and let the city see what the plan is. It is not always about the highest price. The other developers are very respected and good. All three of us are qualified to do the project," he said.
Jarreau's designs were drawn by the Loony Ricks Kiss architecture firm. The company — with offices in Baton Rouge, Celebration, Fla., Memphis, Tenn., and Princeton, N.J. — also drew plans for Cypress Realty's failed Lakeside development, which was supposed to be built on the Civic Center grounds.
In a memo to his Lake Charles real estate broker, Chris Khoury, Jarreau said that "the project would require Federal Housing Administration financing."
If his bid is approved, Jarreau estimates the land could be bought within 30-60 days, followed by a 180-day period to get FHA financing approval.
"Closing on property 270 days from execution of purchase agreement. Construction time...12-13 months," he wrote to Khoury.
Jarreau would work with HFC Funding Corp. of Jackson, Miss., to manage the financing process.
"Les Hardin is currently on several HUD boards and is very experienced with these type of multifamily developments," Jarreau wrote to Khoury. "I have currently developed over 700 units in Louisiana and continue to expand in this sector of real estate."
Khoury wants the City Council to consider the economic impact of the work that developers competing for the property have done.
According to Jarreau's website, his "career began in 1984 when he opened and managed Wallbanger Fitness Center. Jarreau leveraged the impressive Wallbanger momentum and at 31, founded Spectrum Fitness Clubs. Today, Spectrum is the largest fitness chain in Baton Rouge."
Jarreau owns real estate, property management, construction and development companies.
His portfolio includes building housing units in Denham Spring, Baton Rouge, St. Francisville, Natchitoches, Monroe and Brusly; multitenant projects; acquisition and rehabilitation projects; and "built to suit projects" for CC's Coffee House, Dollar Tree, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Family Dollar and Goodwill.
"I hope the City Council stresses the ability of the developers in their consideration," Khoury told the American Press. "Jarreau is the right group of people to do this project in Lake Charles."
In November, the City Council will decide which developer to negotiate a buy-sell agreement with.

Is this stuff digestable by bees? I know a guy who fed some. I'm just wondering what effect the agave nectar would have on bees. Does anyone know?
Is this stuff digestable by bees? I know a guy who fed some. I'm just wondering what effect the agave nectar would have on bees. Does anyone know?
Mark Berninghausen
from what I hear,, once processed, it makes their clothes fall off!!
sorry could not resist the opportunity to express my warped sense of humor,,,,,
Oh george, that's so clever of you.
Mark Berninghausen
actually it is a good question,, it should have a sugar content,, but as you,, I do wonder what the result, or affect would be on the bees, or honey,, if produced..., would it be like the marischino cherry juice honey in NY?
The real question is if you let the agave honey ferment, what would that be like? As for the answer to the original question, I have no idea.
Coyote Creek Bees
Ohhhh man, that Agave juice has gotten me into a tight spot more than once, a few years ago...
Bees get fed fructose and glucose frequently. But its hard to see how agave nectar would be more affordable than sugar/HFCS, unless somehow an agave batch has been contaminated and can't be used in its more traditional uses.Agave nectar consists primarily of fructoseand glucose. One source gives 92% fructose and 8% glucose; another gives 56% fructose and 20% glucose. These differences probably reflect variation from one vendor of agave nectar to another.[6][7]
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
I am not asking about affordability, that isn't the issue. I sold nucs to a person who, along w/ the packages and splits he made, acquired a quantity of agave nectar which was supposed to be used for making of beer, but for some reason could not be used that way. so he bought it and fed it to his bees.
I can't say that there is a real connection between feeding agave nectar and the decline and dying of most of his 40some colonies. I don't know why they died, here in SC.
Mark Berninghausen
Well, that's what I was thinking too. I was simply trying to find out whether the stuff is inherently bad for bees or not. Thanks.
Apparently they took the syrup real well and quickly. They also sucked down a 50 gallon kiddie pool full of water a number of times during the Summer, even though there was a pond nearby.
Having never kept bees here thru the Summer, I wonder if queens shut down in June or July like my queens do come October and November when in NY.
Mark Berninghausen
So we all know feeding Maple Syrup to bees is bad for them. Agave Nectar is made very similar to how Maple Syrup is made from my understanding. They squeeze the juice out of the plant and then heat it to transform it into something like 92% fructose. I think there is also a conversion that is happening to get it to turn into Fructose.
So they say its worse for humans than HFCS. I wouldn't feed that stuff to my bees.
You can decide how credible this site is...
The fact that it's so extreme makes me question it.
"Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Some agave syrups contain a contaminant called hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF, also called 5-hydroxymethyl furfural), an organic heat-formed compound that arises in the processing of fructose -- in both agave syrup and HFCS. HMF has potential toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects[iv]. HMF is EXTREMELY toxic to honey bees, which is a problem since commercial beekeepers feed HFCS to the bees to stimulate honey production when field-gathered nectar sources are scarce[v]."
Maybe this agave had a lot of HMF in it? I don't know.
Thats a good find. I wondered if HMF would be in Agave Nectar as it goes thru a conversion to actually get the fructose. Its quite possible it contains a high amount as I believe the creation of HMF accelerates from heating, and heating is part of the process to get the fructose.
On the other hand this person claims agave nectar is made just like bees make honey:
"Organic agave nectar's processing could not be further related from this aforementioned processing of High-Fructose Corn Syrup. Agave is processed through either the use of natural enzymes, or through the use of thermal hydrolysis. These processes are essentially used only to evaporate the nectar from the liquid juice that is extracted from the plant. The processing of agave is done in the exact same way in which bees make honey, whether through a natural enzyme in the bee's stomach, or when they fan their wings to evaporate the natural water out of the sweet liquid before capping into the honey comb."
"HMF can form in high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), levels around 20 mg/kg HMF were found, increasing during storage or heating.[10] This is a problem for American beekeepers because they use HFCS as a source of sugar when there are not enough nectar sources to feed honeybees, and HMF is toxic to them." -from Wikipedia.
Seems to me that heating fructose produces HMF. So it all comes down to how the agave nectar was produced or stored. If heating was involved it might have increase HMF levels to that which is toxic to honeybees.
I wonder what honey made from the nectar of agave plants would taste like? How similar would it be to the agave nectar people make?

I'm the type of person who can have fun in any situation—especially if I'm with great company! My hobbies range from cooking and museums to live music and sports (honestly). My favorite game of the year is the Super Bowl. I'm addicted to DC and all it has to offer—theater, museums, restaurants, events—but it would all be more fun with a partner by my side.
I love to travel and experience different cultures. Due to my father's work my entire childhood was spent overseas. Now, with my work, I travel abroad once or twice a year. I like to consider myself a citizen of the world since I've visited more than 35 countries and lived in eight. I would love to find someone to share my future trips with, from the adventure filled international voyages to the small weekend road excursions. In fact, I'm looking forward to seeing more of the US. Interested in driving cross-country and stopping at all the cheesy tourist traps along the way? This is where your ability to change a flat tire may come in handy!
I also enjoy the simpler things in life: a walk in the woods, dining out, checking out a new museum exhibit, live music, a great movie, sipping coffee at a sidewalk cafe, playing with my dog, etc. I live a full and happy life and I truly appreciate it. Now all I need is someone to share it with.
My ideal match is an intelligent, kind-hearted man who teaches me but also learns from me. He's inspiring, creative and passionate, with a curiosity about the world that always keeps him interested. He's fun-loving and spontaneous but also aware of the times when he should be serious. Communication is important to me I need to be with someone who will be straightforward and honest with me at all times, while treating me like a true partner.

The University of Washington Bothell would like to support faculty (particularly junior faculty) as they seek to advance their research and scholarship. For this reason, UW Bothell will coordinate with the Royalty Research Fund (RRF) grant program to utilize the RRF application and review process to fund meritorious but unfunded RRF proposals with research cost recovery dollars. This mechanism is an acknowledgment of the fact that many unfunded RRF proposals still have a high probability of generating important new scholarly materials or resources, significant data or information. Consequently, and to as great an extent as possible, indirect cost dollars received on current UW Bothell grants will be re-invested in the research agendas of faculty.
The RRF grant program and the UW Bothell Office of Research Support share the following aims:

Bend non-profit launches drone promotion efforts
State-funded group plans grants, cites UAV benefits
BEND, Ore. - A new Bend nonprofit, the Oregon Unmanned Systems Business Enterprise, has hired Mark Morrisson as executive director and begun seeking grant proposals, part of efforts to help establish Oregon as a leader in the civilian uses of Unmanned Aerial Systems, often referred to as "drones."
Morrisson, whose academic background involves biology and sensors and whose business background spans technology-intensive industries, begins work this week. A longtime Oregon resident, Morrisson has held senior management positions in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. He has worked in biotech and venture capital internationally and has been involved in the venture capital community in Bend.
OR-UAS has the statewide mission of creating jobs and economic growth for UAS-related applications in fields as diverse as agriculture, firefighting, natural resource management, search and rescue and other emergency responses, infrastructure security, real estate, surveying, and photography and film.
OR-UAS has received its first funding and has now released a Request for Proposals (RFP). It solicits proposals for potential grants with the goal of stimulating economic activity in this sector.
Areas of greatest interest are applications in precision agriculture, fire and emergency response, and natural resources management, as well as proposals that help develop the UAV industry and advance its technology in Oregon.
The goal is to make as many organizations and companies throughout Oregon aware of the RFP. The deadline for responses is Friday, February 28.
"In addition to the aviation component of UAS, there is real intellectual property value in the sensor technology and the data analysis that spins off from it," said Rick Spinrad, vice president for research at Oregon State University and board president of OR-UAS.
"We are fortunate to have in Mark an individual who comes from the sensor world, who has managed many complicated programs, and who has helped to launch a number of startup companies."
Oregon Funding
OR-UAS's initial funding comes from a two-year, $882,000 state grant from the Oregon Business Development Dept. and the Oregon Innovation Council, which was approved by the 2013 Legislature. OR-UAS seeks to match state funding with private investments, grants, and other programs to get innovative projects off the ground.
Using seed money provided by this grant, OR-UAS seeks to:
- Expand existing Oregon companies that support UAS technology.
- Assist Oregon companies in winning new contracts and grants.
- Recruit UAS firms to test vehicles, sensors, systems, and applications in the state and to establish offices and facilities here.
- Generate industry-leading applications that promote innovation.
Agriculture, Firefighting Among Critical Applications
Of the many potential uses of UAS, the most immediate growth area is likely to be agriculture, which is expected to be the focus of as much as 85 percent of the spending on this technology in the next few years. Agriculture represents the largest use of UAS in the world, and in these applications the U.S. trails many other nations.
Early studies show that UAVs can add between 8 and 10 percent to the bottom line of farmers by reducing costs and improving yields. Oregon's many specialty crops give the state an opportunity to lead the nation in a variety of agricultural applications.
Firefighting is another important area. UAS can save lives and reduce firefighting costs by millions of dollars through the ability to locate hot spots before they explode into full-fledged fires and to protect fire crews with real-time communications and imaging during actual fires. Their deployment requires the development of the right operational and safety procedures and the engagement of the many agencies that have forest and rangeland responsibilities.
"Many of these uses are on the cusp of commercial viability and represent great growth opportunities for companies in the state," Morrisson said. "The technologies exist and the needs exist. What we require are specific projects that prove the cost-benefit advantages of UAS, that develop the proper processes for the particular use, and that demonstrate the flight safety required by the FAA."
Support for Test Ranges Also Planned
A secondary mission for OR-UAS is the support of the three test ranges in the state that were recently approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Oregon is part of the Pan-Pacific partnership with Alaska and Hawaii, one of only six UAS test sites that were selected in the country. The designation does not come with any federal funding.
Oregon's three test ranges—at Pendleton, Tillamook, and Warm Springs near Madras—cover a variety of geography and climate. The test sites will be used to develop the technology and procedures necessary for the safety levels required for the eventual flight of UAS across American airspace.
"Oregon has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be on the leading edge of a new industry," Morrisson said. "Growth of civilian applications is dependent on these new ranges, and Oregon is one of the few states to have them. By assisting the ranges in ways that will benefit them all, we will be better able to achieve our overall business development goals."
The formation of OR-UAS and Morrisson's hiring is the culmination of a four-year effort initiated and nurtured by Economic Development of Central Oregon (EDCO), then broadened into a statewide coalition that included leadership by Oregon State and the Cascade chapter of the industry trade association, the Association of Unmanned Vehicles Systems International (AUVSI), as well as other private and public entities.
The coalition's efforts led to the award of the state grant and the state's winning Test Site partnership with Alaska and Hawaii.

Hello all,
Alright, don't get mad at me. I know I have posted alot positively about screened bottom boards. But I have really been researching the subject of solid or screened bottom boards, and also studying my own hives. I was partial to screened BB's because of all I had heard before starting beekeeping; you know, all the IPM values, ventilation, etc. I have run screened bottom boards for three years, and just found out several months ago that I had a light varroa infestation. I tried treating with powdered sugar dusting, and when all was said and done and all the stingers dug out, I said, "I am never doing that again!" I then tried one treatment of Hopguard, and now have done mineral oil fogging, same as the Fat Bee Man. Do you have to have screened BB's to have Hopguard or fogging to work? I don't think so. I am pleased with the ease of Hopguard and also very pleased with the FGMO fogging. So, why not use solid BB's if the screened BB is not a must for the Hopguard/FGMO to work? I have observed my hives and am noticing that the brood patterns/nest are larger in the two hives that I have solid BB's on. Also, solid BB's are cheaper to build (at least timewise) and purchase. Plus, if I become commercial (palletized), as some of you know I intend to, I won't want screened BB's. So I am seriously rethinking my varroa treatment strategy, and am considering switching to all solid BB's. What do you all think? Are there factors I am not considering? Please input. Thanks in advance!
