The Bachelor's Degree – The Engagement Experience
In political science, all majors must complete six hours of the engagement experience-an internship program which emphasizes improvement of the student's ability to learn from experience, career assessment, relationships between theory and practice, and realistic appreciation of public affairs.
The most important question to be asked in planning an internship is "What kind of experience is most likely to make me the sort of educated person I want to be?" Identify the experience that best fulfills your educational aspirations. Then you, your adviser, and the Internships and Prior Learning Services (IPL) office can work to approximate that idea as closely as possible.
Most political science majors want political experience. Here are some of the political experiences PSC majors have chosen in the past.
The Legislative Applied Study Term (LAST). This popular AST option is offered each spring semester when the Illinois General Assembly is in session. In a special series of seminars, students learn how to function effectively in the legislative environment and work as aides to Illinois senators and representatives. Interested students should see Barbara VanDyke-Brown, whose office is located in the Public Affairs Center, Room 470, Phone: 206-6579.
The General Applied Study. This is the option in which most students enroll. Political science students have been placed in such agencies as:
- Executive Office of the Governor
- Office of the Attorney General
- Office of the President of the Illinois Senate
- Illinois Department of Agriculture
- Illinois Department of Transportation
Students have been placed with such lobbying organizations as the Illinois Manufacturer's Association, International Federation of Teachers, American Civil Liberties Union, and The Coalition Against Hunger. Others have worked for local government agencies, law firms or the federal government. Still others have undertaken special projects. One PSC major ran for treasurer of Logan County; another founded an environmental federation to save the Middle Fork of the Vermillion River, still another participated in an anarchist commune in California.
It is not necessary that your internship be taken in a six-hour block. It can be taken three hours in one semester and three hours in another semester. The modules are flexible. An additional three hours of internship credit may be taken as a general elective with the permission of your PSC adviser.
Consult. The first thing to do is to talk it over with your political science adviser. That's important for good curriculum planning. It's also important because your adviser, who has a lot of experience with applied internships, can help you avoid unnecessary steps. The IPL office (in Brookens 482, 206-6640) is full of good counsel and information. There are files of previous placements, which can help you decide what sort of position is best for you, and the IPL faculty and staff are prime sources of knowledge and information about applied study possibilities.
Arrange your placement. You will need to have your applied internship placement arranged before you register. The IPL office will help you make contacts, but normally the placing agency chooses you. That means sending your likely contacts a resume (the IPL office has a standard resume format) and arranging for an interview. When you have secured a placement, it is time to complete the forms.
Complete an applied internship project proposal. Early in the process, you will have picked up the Internship Course Application from from the IPL office. This form calls for the signature of your political science adviser and your field supervisor, the person in the placement agency who will direct your work and evaluate your efforts. It also asks you what you intend to learn in your applied internship. Think through your answers to that question; being thoughtful about your educational intentions at this early stage will focus your learning and save you time and energy later, when you are forming learning objectives for your learning contract. When you turn the completed Internship Course Application to the IPL office, you will be given a With Permission of Instructor (WPI) reference number, which permits you to register for the IPL 300 course. As you can see from this description of the process, it is important to start preparing for your internship in the semester before you actually want to take it.
Some students have an unusual combination of previous experience and educational aspiration which suggests that an applied internship may inappropriate. If you are one of those students, your political science adviser may suggest that you enroll in the Prior Learning Assessment Program or apply for a waiver of the applied internship requirement.

Hello everyone!
My name is Megumi. I'm not originally from Texas, I'm down here for some family. I stumbled upon this site while I was looking for female mandalorian armor. I've had no luck making my own, so I decided that I was going to buy a set.
I'm looking for armor for myself because I'm hoping for a Star Wars wedding. I don't know if my boyfriend will want that, since he wants us to have a traditional Scottish wedding. I'm starting to warm him up to the idea that all the groomsmen can be Stormtroopers, and the bridesmaids twi'lek love slaves. ^_^ Just kidding about the twi'leks, not about the Stormtroopers. Maybe handmaidens, or echani.
I'm a huge fan of Star Wars, but I fell in love with all things Mando when I stumbled upon the Karen Traviss books. Now, I just can't get enough. Hence the wedding.
I'm thinking that maybe our vows can be the Mandalorian ones. ^_^
So far, I love the site.

MANUFACTURER: Burris
Review This Item
The BURRIS Eliminator III 4-16x50 Rangefinding Riflescope, X96 Ballistic Reticle (200116) offers extreme accuracy for extreme range shooting! The Eliminator split-second automatic trajectory compensation technology has provided shooters with the invaluable ability to place ethical shots on target within seconds dramatically extending a rifleman's confidence and ability in the field.
The Eliminator III rangefinding riflescope features a sleek, new design that is similar to traditional riflescopes yet still incorporates state of the art electronics. Other improvements include new ergonomic activation buttons and parallax adjustment from 50 yards to infinity.
The Eliminator III with X96 reticle technology empowers the rifleman with even more accuracy, more range, a method of windage compensation, and it is all now perfected at any magnification.
To achieve even greater accuracy at ranges from 750 to 1,200 yards, the Eliminator III features enhanced the ballistic programming. With the Eliminator III, the shooter enters not only the amount of drop at 750 yards for bullet and load he is shooting, but the ballistic coefficient (BC) for the chosen bullet, as well. The scope can be programmed for more than 1,500 commercially available loads.
An essential element in the Eliminator III is the X96 reticle, which provides a convenient and accurate method to compensate for wind. Wind compensation is not fully automated within the scope; the digital readout displays a 10 MPH Wind Value for the shooter's specific cartridge at the ranged as a "Dot Value".
The X96 reticle features several dots on each side of the vertical post. These Dots serve as references to the shooter to precisely hold into the wind. The shooter still needs to estimate the cross-wind value himself and also needs to convert the 10 MPH Wind Value displayed to the appropriate value for the estimated actual MPH cross-wind value. The shooter then holds into the wind the appropriate "Dot Value".
Burris is the unequivocal expert in automated trajectory compensation and the Eliminator III Rangefinding Riflescope provides expert shooters with a level of sophistication only imaginable before now.

This past weekend, university students gathered in Honduras for the first-ever Universities Fighting World Hunger Summit organized outside of North America. The Summit brings together students to learn about real-world hunger solutions from experts and leaders. Meet one Auburn University student from the United States who attended the Summit. She was already engaged in solving hunger, but here's her account of how the Summit opened her eyes to new challenges – and new hope.
Hi y'all! My name is Meredith and I'm a student at Auburn University in the United States studying Pre-Med Nutrition Science. I'm passionate about helping people, and since I'm from the South, you know that means feeding them. However, my little po-dunk hometown in rural Alabama seriously limited my paradigm of the hungry in the world. I've seen the pictures and watched the non-profit documentaries and even put some change in the bucket for different hunger-related NGOs. But hunger wasn't real to me. Not until I arrived in Honduras for the Universities Fighting World Hunger Summit and stared it right in its face.
"Honduras is a land of extreme poverty, but also of great beauty. Look for the beauty." These were the words offered to me on the flight into Tegucilgapa by a native Honduran. She did her best to prepare me for her gregarious culture- lots of hugging and kissing and noisy conversation (sounded like the good ol' South to me!). Despite her best attempts, nothing could truly prepare me for what I was about to experience.
Driving through Tegucilgapa, the poverty I had seen in photographs and movies came to life. Ran-shackled buildings seemed to cover every inch of the hilly city. The streets were lined with hunchbacked old men peddling soft drinks and scarves, small, lanky children dribbling soccer balls, and scattered heaps of trash. Motorcycles darted in and out of traffic, and I winced as our daring driver steered our bus through the chaos like it was a sports car. As we made our way out of the city and into the countryside, the houses grew scarcer, and even smaller and less put together. Even the cows crossing the road (talk about a traffic stop) were thin and bony.
After six hours over the rutty, dry roads on the rural Honduran terrain, we finally reached our destination, Catacamas. Students from the Universidad Nacional de Agricultura greeted us with open arms and a home-cooked feast of traditional Latin food (think beans and rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner- muy delicioso!). After dinner, we headed back to our retreat and prepared for the start of the Summit.
The next day started early with a cold shower. Upon reaching the conference, we listened to speeches from several national and world leaders including the President of Honduras about our common objective: eradicating hunger. I'm still in awe of the situation in which I sat. In that moment, in that crowd of more than 300 people, each individual seemed to lose his or her own identity. Nationality, race, age, gender, education level, and socioeconomic status made no difference. We were all members of humanity, meeting together to solve a problem that collectively we have the knowledge and resources to resolve.
I had the opportunity to meet a local Honduran family thanks to the proficient Spanish skills of one of my friends. We met three children and their grandmother who were helping serve food and cleaning up. Although my Spanish vocabulary limited me to saying "Hello" and "How are you?" words weren't even necessary. When Abuelita saw us talking to her grandchildren, she came over and wrapped us in a tight embrace that didn't let go. She kissed our cheeks, and the kids wrapped their arms around our waists. The Honduran people are unapologetic in the way they show love. Sometimes it's too easy to believe the world is full of people with crossed arms and clenched fists, but the hospitality and generosity of these people opened my eyes to the power of an open mind and a giving heart.
During our stay we had the awesome opportunity to visit a children's home across the street from the Universidad Nacional de Agricultura. Forty-eight children reside in the refuge of Por Los Ninos where they receive a safe, stable environment, a first-class private education including English classes and computer education, nutritious meals and clean water, and lots of hugs and kisses. Some of the kids that had grown up were attending college right across the street and well on their way to becoming the next successful farmers of Honduras. Investing in the future agriculture leaders of tomorrow is a huge step in fighting hunger at a local and international level. The love and encouragement shown at Por Los Ninos provides children with not only hope, but also the tools to be a thriving citizen that can better his or her country.
As I listened to international diplomats, leaders of various NGOs, and students not much older than myself, I experienced hope. However, in the words of Auburn University's own Dr. June Henton, "Hope is not a plan." I see the potential of my peers. The world doesn't need another club to simply discuss hunger. The world needs people who take action and are willing to commit their lives to feeding the hungry and being the voice for the helpless. I can give my time at a local food pantry. I can financially support one of the numerous non-profit organizations that fight hunger globally and locally. I can choose to support local agriculture and make more sustainable food choices. I can make myself knowledgeable of agricultural legislation and support political representatives that share my concern for small farmers and hungry people. There are so many "little" things that can be done right now; the war on hunger begins where we are with what we have. Take action in the everyday circumstance.
Look for the beauty.


text: I am replacing my ps pump in my 2005 yukon XL next week. I can't stand the noise it is making, albeit you can only hear it in the cab. I don't think that I have ever done one. (at least that I can remember). Any tips? I am going to rent the pully puller from autozone so I can pull the pully off of the old one and press it onto the new one. Any tips/suggestions before I start this job? The lines are just clamped hoses so no worry about getting the lines started without cross threading. I bought an AC delco with reservoir, so I don't have to deal with switching that over. I have read that after install I should fill it and soin it by hand a few times to prime it. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Michael Bloomberg and David Paterson announced a proposal yesterday to ban the purchase of soda with food stamps. It is sure to be controversial, but is it a good thing?
At the very least, if the government is determined to try and reduce decrease public expenditures on health care by reducing soda consumption, than this is a preferrable approach to a soda or sugar tax. A first best approach would be to tax individuals who a) are drinking enough soda that it increases their risk of illness, and b) with some probability part of their health care costs will be born by public.
Since foods stamp recipients seem like a likely target for b), this at least meets one criteria. In contrast a general soda tax falls on everyone, and meet neither criteria. Even with the more targeted food stamp approach, people whose soda consumption is at safe levels or who have private insurance will be inefficiently restricted by this.
I have not looked at the data myself, but the conventional wisdom and the contention of the proposed law is that a) is very much true.
The whole discussion of course presumes that the law actually reduces soda consumption. For one thing, if individuals are paying some non-soda food costs with cash they can just shift to spending that cash on soda. There are also ways to trade around this: I buy $10 worth of soda with cash, you buy $8 worth of food with food stamps, and we trade. In either case though, transaction costs have been raised, although in the former the amount may be very slight.
Another problem is that individuals may respond to the lower calories by simply consuming more calories. While researching the health effects of soda for my recent defense of diet soda, the literature appeared mixed as to whether switching from regular to diet soda caused weight loss because of the calorie substitution problem. Perhaps Karl will chime in on this; he is much more knowledgeable about all things obesity.
The final question to ask is whether this policy is simply too paternalistic? I have to say I don't think it is. Food stamps by themselves are already highly paternalistic. Essentially they tell low-income people that on average they will not spend cash in a way that best benefits them and their family. The government defines a subset of goods and tells them "you will be better off if you stick to these goods instead of buying what you want". The marginal paternalism of reducing the size of the goods the government allows is slight compared to the paternalism food stamp recipients are already enduring. If your significant other tells you that you have to go to bed between 9:30 and 10 that is highly paternalistic. If they further refine that and decide it has to be between 9:40 and 10 it's not that much more paternalistic. Perhaps this graph will help:
Another issue that you are free to reject, as it just reflects my diet soda bias and my love of delicious aspartame, is that I suspect much of the continued preference for regular soda over diet soda despite the health advantages is motivated by a lack of understanding of the safety of diet soda. Fear not New Yorkers, despite the email chain letters and urban legends, diet soda is not bad for you.
Overall though we should be weary of this kind of paternalism, and the desirability depends on how effective it would actually be. However, given the high level of paternalism in food stamps already I don't consider this marginal paternalism to be that troubling.

Baby Steps and Beyond
Most little ones are walking around this time—or rather toddling. Whether your child is on the cusp of walking or still prefers cruising around furniture, remember that as humans, we are programmed to be upright creatures. Soon your toddler will let go and take those first precious steps before you can say, "Someone get the video camera!"
Some children do not walk until 18 months or even later. This is a time when it is especially important to respect your child's unique development. If you have concerns, check with your child's healthcare provider who can do an assessment of your child's developing motor skills. Again, our advice is to enjoy this time: It won't be long before you will be running after your little moving target.
Changing Body and Eating Habits
As your child is becoming more active and rapidly developing amazing gross motor skills, you may notice a change in her body. She may lose some of that scrumptious baby fat on her legs and arms. She may also seem less interested in eating at times, while ravenous at others. When you take your child in for an exam, chances are you will notice that she is gaining weight at a much slower rate. Pretty soon, she'll no longer look like the pudgy baby you love to cuddle—but she still loves your hugs during downtime and while she is refueling.
When your toddler is interested in eating, try offering her a spoon. This is a wonderful exercise in fine motor and self-help skills. There are also some safe, toddler-friendly forks on the market so your toddler can stab her broccoli or meatballs before devouring them. If she tosses the spoon or fork over the side of the high chair, take a deep breath and remember this is very developmentally appropriate for this age. She may have wanted to find out what would happen if she threw the spoon, or she may have been frustrated and decided to use her trusty fingers as her utensils. Messiness at eating is very common at this age. Stock up on large bibs and splat mats that go under the chair to keep the mess contained. And if you eat out you may want to skip white tablecloth restaurants during this stage in development.
Expressive Language
Most toddlers have a few words in their vocabulary by now, but again, there is enormous range for language development. Often, the first words (outside of mama and dada) are related to their interests—truck, car, book, duck, doggie, etc. It is very important to repeat these words back to your child. Besides helping her master how to say the words, it is validating and gives her a sense of pride and accomplishment. Besides, it is so darn cute hearing toddlers speak.
Books are still one of the best ways to support language development. Again, pick out books based on your child's interests. You may learn more than you ever thought you would know about vehicles used in construction or all the exotic animals in a zoo. Children are sponges for this knowledge and enjoy practicing to say new words. She may ask you to read the same book over and over—until all of you know it by heart. Author/illustrator Eric Carle has been a favorite for children and parents alike, by combining interesting text about animals and children with wonderful, colorful collage-like illustrations.
Receptive Language
Regardless of how many words your child has under her belt, she has amazing receptive language abilities. One fun activity for her right now is to be your little helper for tasks she can easily manage. If she wants you to read her a book, ask her to go pick it out and bring it to you. Or if your hands are full and you drop something (that is easy to hold, like a sock), ask her if she can pick it up. She will have an enormous sense of accomplishment when she sees you smile and say "thank you'" for helping her. This is wonderful for laying the foundation for positive self-esteem and self-concept—ideas of the self that are shaped from early experiences with important people, like parents.
Awareness of Self and Others
Toward the end of these three months, your toddler will be able to recognize herself and others in photos or when she gazes at her lovely image in a mirror. Photos are a wonderful way to help your toddler understand about her family, friends, and herself as a separate individual. Children love looking at pictures through photo albums that protect pictures from bending.
Photos also help children who are in childcare and separated from Mom or Dad to feel closer to their parents. It is especially supportive if they can hold the photos in their own hands. Childcare providers can talk about who is in the photo and remind the child that Mommy or Daddy always comes back. Often toddler programs and preschools encourage parents to keep photos of family members and other loved ones (let's not forget the family dog or cat) in the child's cubby.
The Era of No
First-time parents are often surprised to hear this word from their child as early as 13 to 15 months. They may ask themselves, "Isn't this a two-year-old's word?" But even at seven months old, Baby realized that words have different meaning, and that "no" usually stops her from doing something she wants to do. So now, as your toddler is mastering the concept of herself as an autonomous individual, she is figuring out the tools to assert her independence. She may say "no" to almost every question that you ask her. This too will pass.
Instead of asking a yes/no question, you may want to give her choices. For example, "Laurel, do you want to drink juice or water with your snack?" Also, let your child feel in control of whatever it is you need her to get done. "Laurel, please pick out some socks to wear today." OK, she may pick out purple socks to go with the green and yellow outfit, but at least she is wearing socks. And she felt that she was in control of this task. As parents, we have to pick our battles. Be clear and don't offer choices when there really aren't any.
We can also model with our own responses to our kids. It can be very difficult to refrain from saying "No" to children, especially when they are doing something that really pushes our buttons. If possible, think of other ways to redirect the behavior. "Laurel, balls are for throwing outside. You can roll the ball inside." Obviously, if a child is doing something that is not safe, it is important to communicate quickly to stop the behavior. This may be the time for a stern, "No."
The fifteen-month molars, which can make their appearance anytime now or as late as nineteen months, are often the source of discomfort for your toddler and a few sleepless nights for both of you. These are the large teeth located on the top and bottom that have double edges. You probably already know from previous bouts of teething how specifically to support your toddler during her discomfort.
Some parents recommend rubbing the gums with their fingers to relieve the pressure or offering a cold teething ring (frozen mini bagels work well too) or teething biscuit. If these techniques do not work, consult with your child's healthcare provider on other ways to support a teething child, including over-the-counter pain remedies.
More Development Help
As you're considering your child's development, keep in mind that all children are unique. Whether your toddler reaches milestones early or late, she has her own developmental path to follow. The dividing lines between these months are very fuzzy. If you have any concerns or questions about your child's development, please check with her healthcare provider.

SANDNES, Norway (AP) — Chess world champion Viswanathan Anand of India halved a point with the Norwegian world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen to draw in Thursday's second round of the Norway Chess Tournament.
Playing white, the 22-year-old Carlsen showed aggressive intent, turning down an early opportunity to force a draw.
But the game slowed in mid-section after an exchange of queens before both players grinded out a draw with just a white pawn and the two kings left on the board.
Anand said the psychological boost of a win would have been significant for their coming championship match in November in Anand's hometown, Chennai.
"I think it is silly to pretend that it isn't. So this is half way," Anand said. "I think that if somebody had won that would definitely be a boost, but we shouldn't go beyond that either. There is still a tournament to play."
Carlsen, who hopes to snatch the world title from the 43-year-old five-time champion in India, was more equivocal.
"I think this is another game between us. We have played lots of games over the years and it was probably a sign of the time to come — that games are going to be relatively interesting and hard fought and nothing is going to come easy," Carlsen told reporters.
Asked if he would have played down the psychology of the occasion had he secured a win, Carlsen replied "most definitely not."
The two have drawn their last four full-length games. They also halved the match in the supercharged blitz tournament on Tuesday that set up the pairings for the rest of the tournament.
Hundreds of chess fans watched the game in the hall of the Quality Hotel in Sandnes on the west coast of Norway, with many thousands more following the live stream online.
World No. 10, Sergey Karjakin, leads the round robin tournament after day two having won both his games. The final round of the 10-man tournament will be played on May 18.

September is an exciting month. It marks the end of summer, and the beginning of the school year. It is also an active time in nature. September is the midpoint of the Atlantic hurricane season, the period when storm activity is at its strongest.
But this year, things in the sky have been unusually quiet. We have seen a few tropical storms, but not a single hurricane. What does this hurricane drought tell us about our planet's unpredictable and changing climate?
Storm Season
Hurricanes are large, swirling storms with high winds. The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30. Some hurricanes take place at other times, but most fall within this period. In May, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted a tropical storm season with between seven and 11 hurricanes. In August, they lowered the prediction to between six and nine hurricanes, but still expected some would become storms with winds exceeding 100 m.p.h.
Though monster storms can hit at any point during this season, like Sandy in late October of 2012, September is historically the biggest month for hurricanes. So the lack of activity this month demands an explanation. "There's an intense scientific debate going on here," wrote science journalist Chris Mooney at Mother Jones. "The hurricane picture under climate change may be more complicated than previously supposed."
A Mystery in the Atlantic
For hurricanes to gain speed and power, they must collect warm and moist air. Therefore, they are strongest when they're over water. Over the summer, the Atlantic Ocean experienced large amounts of warm, dry air. This shift in climate has made Earth's atmosphere more stable, and difficult for these strong storms to develop. There has also been a lot of wind shear recently. Wind shear is a rapid change in wind speed and direction. This change also makes it difficult for tropical storms to grow.
Though these theories provide some explanation, scientists are not entirely sure why an intense hurricane has not yet slammed the U.S. In a 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), experts speculated that human activity was contributing to global warming, and increasing the amount of storm activity. Now, the absence of a major hurricane has complicated that theory and left storm experts scratching their heads.
However quiet September may be, hurricane season still has another two months to surprise us with a tropical storm. Until then, all we can do is watch, and wait.

Ducks, family and faith
GREENE COUNTY, Tenn. - Just about the time the popular cable program from A&E "Duck Dynasty" began, a little church in Greene County booked one of the main characters to come and give an inspirational speech.
Little did they know the show's popularity would soar and have people clamoring for tickets to come hear Phil Robertson speak.
Phil Robertson is the beloved patriarch of the Duck Commander Robertson family, but maybe you didn't know that he's a devout Christian and has been an inspirational speaker at churches for years.
About two years ago, members of the Mount Zion United Methodist Church went to hear him speak at a church near Nashville about the time A&E began airing "Duck Dynasty." "There were like eight of us that went down there and listened to him speak. We were just all so inspired by him. The motivation that he gave us and all the words he had to say about Christianity and we were really enthused about having him as a speaker here," church member Johnny Vest said.
The church already had a sportsmans' ministry going on each year with a wild game dinner in their fellowship center. "We decided to have a wild game supper and just cook the different kinds of foods and meats. We like to give a testimony and witness and we had 15 people saved that night, and last year we did it again and we had over 800 people here," pastor Kristen Burkhart said.
With Phil and his wife Miss Kay coming, they had no idea of the crowds they would have. "The show has really taken off since we booked him. We sold 3,000 tickets and we could have sold more if we had them. We've sold out everything we have," Vest said.
"We just kind of sat back and watched the Lord work because we thought, 'we'll try 2,000 tickets.' If we can sell them out and we'll feed those people and if we have to we'll sell another thousand. It ended up we sold out by December 17 and we started in October," he said.
The popularity of show has given Phil and his family a perfect platform for revealing more about themselves than the reality you see on the show, their Christian reality.
The event is March 9 and because of the number of people coming it has been moved to Hal Henard Elementary School in Greeneville; but again, it's been sold out since December.

Dartmouth men's golf senior Sean Fahey capped off his final tournament with a career-high finish, a tie for eighth, earning him an All-Ivy Second Team Selection.
The Dartmouth men's golf team traveled to Greenwich, Connecticut this weekend to compete against the seven other Ivy League schools for the conference crown. After three days of competition at the Stanwich Club, the Big Green wrapped up their season in sixth place, playing their lowest round of the tournament, 10-over 298, to score an overall 903 (+39).
After the second day of play for the Dartmouth men's golf team, the Big Green currently sit fifth with a score of 605 (+29). The score came after a second round of golf on the par-72, 7,133-yard course at the Stanwich Golf Club, where they faced off against the seven other schools for the Ivy League crown.
The Dartmouth men's golf team concluded their Spring slate this weekend at the Ivy League Championship at the Stanwich Club in Greenwich, Connecticut. The Big Green are currently ranked sixth in the conference and are tied for fourth (302 (+14) after Day 1 at the the 7,133-yard course.
In a field filled with six top-50 teams, Dartmouth finished the three-round tournament in 14th place, led by John Lazor's two-over 73 on Sunday.
Six teams ranked among the top 50 in the nation are among the 16 competing at Irish Creek, and Dartmouth finished the first two rounds in 13th place.

It was a pleasure staying at Manik's apartment. Everything was tidy and the location of the apartment was really really good.
First of all really good service. We got our questions really fast by email. Good contact on the phone. The appartment is also good and it's near London Eye and not far away from the city with the tube. The appartment itself is very beautiful and it's clean, maybe the floor could be more mopped. But it wasn't bothering us. Two bathrooms which was really nice. We were with a group of 7, but there were two rooms with a 2personsbed and a 2person folding bedstead and 1 single bedstead, it was a bit tight in the livingroom with the twopersons bed but still was okay. Maybe it would be less tight if we got a bigger appartment. But again, we were cool with it. Sheets are clean, we got a towel and Wifi is really good. So we were really happy to stay here.. I recommend this place to everyone and I really like to come back!
We've had such a good stay here! :)
The apartment has a high standard with an excellent location with all required facilities to live and enjoy London from the heart of the city.
We enjoyed the stay very much and would strongly recommend this to other families.
Muy buena ubicación, agradecer los productos de cortesía (para el baño y cocina).
Fantástico para 4 ya que las camas supletorias son un poco duras.
Hemos disfrutado mucho, y lo recomiendo.
La atención recibida también muy amables.
Die Wohnung war geräumig für drei Erwachsene und ein Kleinkind (wir wollten mehr Platz als in den "Standard"-60qm-Appartments). Die Lage ist wunderbar zentral Nahe der Waterloo Station, von wo aus man leicht überall hinkommt. Schön eingerichtete Wohnung mit einer voll ausgestatteten Küche und zwei Schlafzimmern (eines davon mit Badezimmer en-suite). Die Heizung ist nur schwer zu regulieren, aber da wir im November dort waren, war es uns angenehm, dass es mollig warm war. Insgesamt eine gute Entscheidung.

The apartment is lovely! Perfect for friends to spend a wonderful weekend trip! Is well located, near London eye and Waterloo station. It is perfectly clean and well organised. Wifi works perfectly and Manik is a great host.
I really recommend this apartment.
Super location and the apartement is perfect for friends on a weekendtrip to London. Quick respons from the host, and nice nearby places to eat and drink.
We had a wonderful time in Manik's apartment. It is very well situated, close to Waterloo Station, so it is easy to reach any place in London quickly. A short walk through the Thame's southbank will take you to London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben…On the evenings we used to go to Southbank centre, where you can find lots of restaurants and bars open until late. The apartment itself is very nice, it is quiet, modern and comfortable. Last day we did not have much time as plane was leaving early in the evening and still had time to see Southwark Cathedral and Shakespeare's Globe which are also within walking distance. I think this apartment is a very good choice.

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with a thunderbolt from Emmanuel Adebayor against Tottenham in 2007.
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
Emmanuel Adebayor v Tottenham (A) 09-15-2007
Rivalries usually bring out the best in athletes, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that many of Arsenal's most memorable goals come at the expense of our North London neighbors. But in 2007, Emmanuel Adebayor produced a goal that truly stands out.
Arsenal had won five of their first six games in the 2007/08 season and headed to White Hart Lane on September 15. Despite some big summer spending, Spurs had started the season poorly and were hoping to bounce back against the Gunners. And a 15th-minute goal by Gareth Bale handed the hosts a lead and shocked Arsenal.
But the visitors fought back in the second half. Adebayor finally scored the equalizer just past the hour, and with 10 minutes remaining, a goal by Cesc Fabregas gave the Gunners the lead. Seeking an equalizer of their own, Spurs threw everything they had at Arsenal's defense, but their attempts left them vulnerable in the back.
Tomas Rosicky won possession just outside the Gunners' penalty area and scampered forward. He played a neat one-two with Adebayor, before sliding the ball to Denilson down the right-hand side. The Brazilian had a chance to seal the win with a one-on-one with Paul Robinson, but the England No 1 denied him with his feet.
However, the save only made it 45 yards from goal, where Fabregas picked up the ball and sent it toward a lurking Adebayor on the edge of the area.
The striker set himself up with a soft first touch that he then fired into the top corner.
A tremendous volley and another North London derby win.

Helen Thomas pwned by Dana Perino Video added
posted at 6:41 pm on November 30, 2007 by Bryan
Q [Thomas] (off mike): Why should we depend on him?
MS. PERINO: Because he's the commander on the ground, Helen. He's the one who is making sure that the situation —
Q (off mike): — You mean how many more people we kill?
MS. PERINO: Helen, I find it really unfortunate that you use your front-row position bestowed upon you by your colleagues to make such statements. It is an honor and a privilege to be in the briefing room, and to suggest that we as the United States are killing innocent people is just absurd and very offensive.
Q: Do you know how many we have since the start of the war?
MS. PERINO: How many — we are going after the enemy, Helen. To the extent that any innocent Iraqis have been killed, we have expressed regret for it.
Q :Well, regret it doesn't bring back a life.
MS. PERINO: Helen, we are in a war zone, and our military works extremely hard to make sure that everyone has the opportunity for liberty and freedom and democracy, and that is exactly what they're doing.
Q (off mike): — Oh, regret. It doesn't bring back a life.
MS. PERINO: I'm going to move on.
I would say that Thomas is a disgrace to her profession, but it was their choice to put her on the front row in these gaggles. It's therefore their call whether she's a disgrace or not, and if they think she is they'll move her off the front row.
They haven't.
The Washington Times is also reporting on the exchange. Video is here.
Update: Here's the exchange. Based on Perino's tone, you could reasonably assume that she's talking to a child. The pity is that she is.

Learn the truth about such common problems as mold, mice, ducts, stucco cracks, electrical connections, galvanic corrosion, setback thermostats and lawn watering. You may be surprised by what our experts say about common myths and misconceptions.
Cleaners perform better than bleach at removing mold and preventing its return.
EPA researchers compared 12 over-the-counter cleaning products with diluted household bleach. They used each product to clean the mold on individual samples of painted and bare gypsum drywall. Then they stored the samples under ideal mold growing conditions and monitored them to see how much mold returned. Diluted bleach scored the worst on bare (unpainted) drywall. It fared better on painted drywall, but not as well as the leading cleaning product, full-strength Lysol All-Purpose Cleaner Orange Breeze. The researchers also tested the cleaners on wallpapered samples and mold-inhibiting paints. To read the research paper, go to springerlink.com and search for "wallboard microbial."
Peanut butter and bacon are the best mouse baits.
Cheese isn't on any mouse's "top-10 list." They'll only eat it if nothing else is available. Plus, cheese hardens after sitting out for a while, making it easier for mice to "steal" the bait without setting off the trap. The perfect bait is actually peanut butter or bacon, or a blend of peanut butter and bacon grease. Mice can't resist the smell and taste. So wipe that on the trip mechanism to get the greatest number of "catches."
Impact sprinklers waste less water than fine spray or mist sprinklers, because less water evaporates before it hits the ground.
Evening watering does reduce evaporation, allowing the soil to soak up and hold more water. But it also sets up the perfect growing conditions for mold and other lawn diseases. The best time to water your lawn is in the early morning hours as the sun is rising. Late riser? Use a watering timer. By the way, an impact sprinkler is the most efficient type of sprinkler. Avoid sprinklers that shoot fine spray or streams into the air—the water evaporates quickly.
Caulk cracks and apply an elastomeric paint to maintain old stucco.
Ordinary house paint seals the pores on stucco. And as the stucco expands and contracts, the paint cracks, breaking the seal. Then water enters the stucco, gets trapped inside, and pretty soon the paint starts to delaminate. It doesn't take long before you're left with sections of bare stucco and patches of paint—not a pretty sight.
However, you can use elastomeric paint, which is formulated for stucco. It expands and contracts with the stucco and resists cracking (one brand is Valspar Duramax Elastomeric Exterior Masonry and Stucco Paint). Elastomeric paints also breathe, allowing moisture to get out. The best part: DIYers can apply it themselves.
If you don't want to paint your stucco, consider hiring a contractor to "fog" it. Fogging contractors use a special spray gun that combines a colorant with a thin cement slurry. Fogging is much faster and cheaper than dashing and lasts almost as long.
Clean ducts if you find mold or rodent or insect nests inside.
Most homes never need duct cleaning. There are some exceptions, however. If you find mold, or rodent or insect nests in the ducts, eliminate the source of the contamination or infiltration and have the ducts professionally cleaned and disinfected. Expect to pay $350 to $1,000 for a thorough job that includes scrubbing the ducts with special brushes. Avoid cheap duct cleaning "specials" for $100 or less. Those low-cost services usually just blow compressed air through the ducts. That gets the loose dust moving, but it doesn't clean the mold or rodent or insect residues.
Line up the wire ends and twist the connector on tight. Tug on each wire afterwards to make sure it's solidly connected.
This advice comes right from the wire nut manufacturers. You do NOT have to twist the wires before applying the wire nut. Most high-quality wire nuts incorporate a square-cut spring-steel wire that literally bites into the copper wires as you twist it on. The spring wire expands and contracts as the electrical wires heat and cool, keeping them tightly bound. Continue twisting the wire nut even after it "hits bottom." Keep turning the nut until the wire insulation is twisted 1-1/2 in. past the wire nut.
Note: Some lighting fixtures come with wire nuts that don't have a spring-steel wire insert. Toss those freebies and use only high-quality wire nuts that have a wire insert.
Your computer is better protected and saves energy when it's turned off.
This myth had some basis 20 years ago when hard drives bit the dust early from frequent on/off cycles. It's no longer true. From a power-use standpoint, leaving it on ALWAYS uses more power than shutting it off—even when it's in "sleep" or "hibernate" mode. Leaving it on also increases your risk of catastrophic damage from power surges—even with a surge protector. So turn off the power strip or unplug your computer when you're not using it.
Dielectric unions help, but don't stop galvanic corrosion. Dielectric nipples do better.
Anytime you join two dissimilar metals (such as copper and galvanized pipe) and add water, you create a flow of electrons (electrolysis or galvanic action), that eventually destroys the galvanized pipe. For decades, plumbers have used an insulated dielectric union to prevent the damage. A dielectric union does provide a small measure of protection. But it's not enough to prevent the complete failure of the galvanized pipe (top photo). Lab tests show that a 3-in. dielectric nipple reduces current flow by 85 percent over the use of a dielectric union alone. So, next time you install a water heater, install a dielectric nipple in addition to a dielectric union. Buy them at a plumbing supply store or contact the manufacturer (perfectioncorp.com) to find a local distributor.
Save energy by setting the heat lower at night and when no one's home. Set the thermostat up during air conditioning season when no one's home.
Sure, the furnace has to pump out a lot of BTUs to bring the house back up to the daytime temp. But studies have proven beyond a doubt that the fuel savings during the setback period far outweighs the cost of raising the temp again. Set the temperature back at least 5 degrees at night and 10 degrees during the day (when no one is home) and you'll save 20 percent on your heating/cooling bill (raise the temp by the same amount for cooling in summer). That will more than pay for the cost of the setback thermostat in the first year.
Sure, hot water melts the grease and washes it down the drain. But once the liquefied grease hits the pipes, it cools, solidifies and eventually builds up. The grease is a magnet for food bits, lint and hair, eventually clogging the pipe. And those clogs are so far away you can't reach them with a household snake. Calling in a pro to clear the line will cost you about $150. Cold water, on the other hand, solidifies the grease before it hits the sewer line, so it can float all the way to the city sewer. Cold water also cools the disposer motor, making it last longer.
Power dethatching is never good for your lawn. It may feel good to run a 5-hp monster power rake through your lawn and see it throw out huge piles of thatch. But if you've set the machine low enough to reach the thatch layer, you're really tearing up healthy grass and stressing the remaining grass. Thatch buildup is the symptom of a serious problem, not the cause of it (the cause is overfertilization, too much water and shallow roots). Instead of dethatching, experts recommend solving the underlying problem by cutting way back on nitrogen fertilizer. Next, rent a core aerator and run it across your lawn. Then apply a product such as Natural Guard Soil Activator. Buy it at any garden center. The soil activator literally composts the existing thatch and turns it into useful nutrients for your lawn. By aerating your lawn and applying soil activator, you help the grass establish a deep root structure— the key to a healthy and thatch-free lawn.

Re: Kitchen knives
I have a stainless steel Carrier cook's knife, which I bought about 30 years ago and am still using. It sharpens like a dream and - most importantly - it is really comfortable to use.
I think knives are a very personal thing. You need to look at them and hold them. See how they feel in your hand. Hands are different and the balance of knives differs too.

Re: Kitchen knives
OK... My head is spinning from reading far too much about knives...
I'm just getting into cooking to avoid takeaways (16 month old son means tea time has to be a speedy affair) and my existing knives are more like rolling pins. It's no exaggeration to say I have to saw through a tomato - and that's with the serrated one!
So I'm looking to replace them with one or more good knives. I've read all the threads on here after buying a 'Tesco Professional' knife set for �60 (see them on Tesco direct - I can't post link as it's my first post here). I saw they were Japanese steel (contains MoV) and thought, if it's OK for Samurai's, it'll probably cut my tomato's. However, I've now seen on the side of the box 'Made in China' and I'm wondering if they will actually be a bit pants...? (no offence China, I realise 99% of everything is made there). Not used them yet so could get a refund...
General advise seems to be get one good chef's knife and then get a 'normal' bread and paring knife.
So I was reading on here and other places that Global are good, however, I've seen quite a few reports that say they snap quite easily. Which obviously has me concerned and wondering if I should look to something else.
Your advice please!
I have normal sized hands, I want to be able to cut veg/salad with ease, the odd bit of meat/fish. Happy to not dishwash the knife. Don't want to spend more than about �60-70 on the main knife (unless it really is worth it). I want to go to a shop to handle a few but what brands should I be looking for/asking about?
As a final point - I've always kept my knives in a block. Is that still the done thing? Or do people just stick them in the drawer?

Re: Kitchen knives
I've followed this topic in the past and decided to register myself here! I too was looking for a good kitchen knife, which wouldn't cost me to much.
After some searching I've found the Tesco knives, but the MoV steel isn't really good. Ain't bad either, so I kept looking around....
Until recently is discovered a shop with own brand, called Eden Quality. The price looked to good te be true. So I googled their brand name and found a topic on British Blades.
They said it was brilliant, so went for it and order an Eden Quality Classic Damast Chef knife, Bread knife and Paring Knife.
What an amazing knives! They are very well balanced with a beautiful design! And razor sharp, you can drop a tomato on the knife and it will split easily in two!

Re: Kitchen knives
Just a few days ago I bought Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star Set. It has a 20 cm chef's knife, 20 cm carving, 13 cm utility(serated), 10 cm paring knife and 23 cm sharpening steel rod. So far I am really impressed with their performance, so sharp and perfectly balanced. Before I had a cheap China-made knives which I had to sharpen after every single use, so I decided to invest in a decent brand

I was watching my bees after putting a coat of primer on the neighbor's fence a yard or so from my hive when the first drone I've seen this year crawled out and made a VERY short cleansing flight (he more or less fell off the landing board into the grass, did his "buisiness" and flew back in). That capped drone brood I saw two weeks ago must be emerging.
I need to get some LGO and set up traps pronto, I guess. Need to do a full hive inspection tomorrow as well, and look at my brother's, too. Should be time to make splits and trap swarms -- at least three weeks early this year.

The Rhode Island School of Design's "2011 Faculty Biennial" at the RISD Museum (20 North Main Street, Providence, through March 20) features more than 200 teachers for a varied buffet ranging from tangled noodley junk sculpture to sleek architecture designs to loose abstract paintings.
A few years back, Philadelphia-based RISD printmaking teacher Daniel Heyman caught people's attention with his series of portraits of former Abu Ghraib prisoners surrounded by writing describing their time in the notorious American jail in Iraq. Heyman's drawing wasn't impressive, but his transcribed accounts of how American captors harassed and humiliated the Iraqis were heartbreaking — and shaming.
Elsewhere, Ellen Driscoll turns recycled plastic into a ghostly construction of mini-mill buildings perched on model steel trusses as if clinging to a water's edge during global warming's inrushing tide. Rachel Berwick's Lonesome is a cast polyurethane tortoise shell set on a steel stand. It's a striking image, though the sculpture doesn't get across her intended reference to the approaching extinction of the last Galapagos tortoise of this kind.
One of RISD's strengths is stylish design yoked to practical purposes, as evidenced in Adam Smith's elegant, rugged hook-knives for firefighters to cut seat belts when rescuing people from crashed autos; John Kane's crisp minimalist, Bauhaus/Scandinavian design for his book A Type Primer; and Merlin Szasz's bronze Art Nouveau funerary urn decorated as if it was emerging from a pond sprouting lotus flowers.
No major themes stand out in this biennial, but the illustration department puts in a strong showing. You can feel the sloshing water in Mary Jane Begin's paint and pastel illustration of a Renaissance lady clinging to a column in a room flooded by magical Sorcerer's Apprentice broomsticks. Trent Burleson offers a glowing gold painting of finches (I think) perched in tree branches seeking berries. Oren Sherman turns layered, vividly hued arabesques and foliage silhouettes into a sleek, digitally-printed pattern. Chris Buzzelli's oil painting is an affecting image of cartoony wolves and skull-headed babies composed to question the US Wildlife Service's perhaps indiscriminate poisoning of critters in its effort to control populations of foxes and coyotes.

Radon Test Kits:
Radon is an invisible and odorless radioactive gas which occurs naturally from decaying uranium underneath the earth's surface. Though you cannot see, smell, or taste radon, it is there and may be a problem in your home or office. Radon gas rises through the soil and seeps through cracks, holes, and drain pipes in the foundation or basements of buildings.
Radon gas can be found all over the United States, and according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) 1 out of every 15 homes in the United States has high levels of radon gas.
Radon gas contains radioactive particles which get trapped in your lungs every time you take a breath. As these particles break down, they release bursts of radiation that damage or destroy lung tissue and cause lung cancer, and long-term exposure may even cause death.
You can use our Radon Test Kits for testing radon gas in your home air or in you home water supply
Radon is a radioactive gaseous element formed by the disintegration of radium which occurs naturally especially in areas over granite and considered as one of the major causes of lung cancer. The worst part is that that we can neither see, nor smell or taste this gas. It is present in almost all types of soils and can get into any type of building - homes, offices, and schools - and result in a high indoor radon level. The amount of radon in the air is measured in "picoCuries per liter of air," or "pCi/L." Sometimes test results are expressed in Working Levels (WL) rather than picoCuries per liter. There are many types of low-cost self-help radon testing kits available through online stores and other retail outlets. These kits can test presence of radon in both, gas and water. It is advisable to perform at least two short-term radon tests to get a fair idea of approximate radon levels in your home so that a further reduction strategy can be devised.

I am trying to figure out what type of feeder I need. I know I am probably going to start a debate. I am thinking I want the feeder that uses the mason jars but do they leak since they are inverted with holes and how well do the baggy feeders work.
I am trying to figure out what type of feeder I need. I know I am probably going to start a debate. I am thinking I want the feeder that uses the mason jars but do they leak since they are inverted with holes and how well do the baggy feeders work.
Make the hole very small and they are fine. Been used for years. Like many many years.

Welcome to Beesource!
There are quite a few different feeding methods that all involve having the feed above the bees. Two of those are mentioned above. Applied properly, virtually all of them will work well.
Avoid Boardman style feeders that sit in the hive entrance. They are easy to use, but are prone to start robbing.
If you would like to make a good top feeder with a large feed capacity, Beesource offers plans to do so here:
Similar Miller style feeders are also available for purchase at many supply companies.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
Well I have read and heard the miller style feeder they eat more if this is the case then are they able to draw comb quicker and I have also read about the drowning of bees and that is also a concern and are there any tricks to the Miller style feeder that would help with the drowning like adding hardware cloth or pop sickle sticks that float
Also has anyone used the baggy feeders just wondering how effective or messy they are
I like the mason jars on top. I use 3/4" plywood with either 1 or 2ea 2 7/8" holes.
This one I made our of 3/8 plywood. I think lid fits down in the hole a little to far and can crush some bees when you put a new jar in. That's why I like the 3/4" plywood. It creates a little space from the bees to the feeder.
Chuck Norris has a grizzly bear carpet in his room. The bear isn't dead it is just afraid to move.
I have tried lots of them and like the hive top feeders from Brushy Mountain the best (the ones that have the floats in them). Second choice would be the baggies. The baggies definitely kill less bees and aren't as messy, but the bees don't seem to eat as much as they do with the top feeder.
The floats in the BM feeder work well for not drowning bees.
> I have also read about the drowning of bees and that is also a concern and are there any tricks to the Miller style feeder that would help with the drowning like adding hardware cloth or pop sickle sticks that float
The Miller style feeder in Beesource plans I mentioned above has no floats, not does it have an open area that may lead to drowned bees. The feeder uses screen in a contained area to provide a ladder for bees. Some of the commercially available Miller feeders are also designed in the same way.
You may wish to look at the illustrated plans to see if you could adapt the feeder you are referring to mimic the Beesource feeder.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
Do you put the plywood over the frames or the inner cover
I don't use inner covers. Only migratory lids.
Chuck Norris has a grizzly bear carpet in his room. The bear isn't dead it is just afraid to move.
I got my first bees in Decemeber of 2012 (yeah, kinda of a strange time, but... ). I used ziplocks a couple of times as suggested by my mentor. He uses them successfully and I'm sure thousands of other beekeepers do, too. But, I had some problems and quickly moved to quart-sized mason jars...I've never looked back.
With jars you're probably going to need a "shim" to enclose the quart jars so that it is protected from the elements and out of reach of robbers. I use inner covers with telescoping covers and the "shim" goes on top of the inner cover and below the top cover. I use a medium box/super as my shim when feeding with quart jars. I screen over the escape hole and the extra 2-3/4"/70mm hole that I drill in the inner cover (sometimes I feed two quarts at a time)...I use #8 (1/8") hardware cloth for the screen. The screening keeps bees from clinging to the jar lids and also flying up out of the holes when I remove the jars. I block any notches in the inner cover that allows bees and other critters to come inside the shimmed space. Feeding through the feeder holes in the inner cover is a good way of putting feed right above the cluster.
I bought a few one-piece "store bought" feeder lids to see how they worked...they work great and were just a little more expensive than regular one-piece lids. These lids have 13 small holes punched into them. I think that half that many would work just as well. I've read where different numbers of holes affect the feeding rate (makes sense to me) and that the different feed rates stimulate the bees in different ways...that's something else that this newbee (me) has yet to fully get a grip on. I'm thinking it's something like fast 1:1 feeding promotes brood and wax creation whereas a slower rate of a thicker syrup tends to put them in a more conservative mood. I've still got a lot of learning to do!
If you go with ziplocks you will need a short shim but rather than feeding on top of the inner cover I've seen most people that feed that way put the ziplock directly on the tops of the frames.
I haven't had any jars to leak on me that I'm aware of but I've always had them under the top cover so no sun exposure. Tighten the lids firmly. The only problem that I had was actually feeding too much and too fast and finding during last years apparently enhanced swarm season that I chased several swarms. The biggest negative aspect of jars is that they're glass and will break...I haven't broke one, yet (now watch me go break some!). Something else that will happen if an empty is left on the hive too long is that the bees will seal the holes in the lid with propolis...just stick the lids in the freezer for a few hours and then use a straight pin to punch the hardened/frozen chips of propolis out of the holes.
One-piece jar lids are very nice in that they sit more flush to the screen. You don't want a gap between lid surface and the screen or the bees tongues might not be able to get to the syrup. An old beek shared a trick with me regarding using two-piece lids...he said to turn the lid upside down in the ring...so that the gasket faces out and against the ring and the center area of the lid protrudes outward rather than inward. This moves the surface of the lid closer to the screen (and bees). I haven't tried this but he says that he's had no problem with it...he does this on his own hives and last time I saw his yard he probably had 30 hives there. YMMV.
I'm not sure how many hives you're feeding, but I needed just a quart of syrup the other day for a small cutout. I'm pretty sure that it was 3 cups of sugar to 3 cups of water that made almost a perfect quart volume. I'm going to have to try it again to be sure, but I think that's what it was. Also, dissolving some crushed up Vitamin-C (ascorbic acid) in the hot water will bring the pH closer to that of honey and will also help retard fungus from growing in the syrup for a while...it's good if you make more than you can use quickly.
When you're feeding keep a monitor of how much the bees have stored....you don't want them filling the hive up with sugar water!!!
I like jars...but everybody has there own preferences. Jars are durable (within reason), re-useable, have good visibility for monitoring, and you can use them as a glass for sweet tea when not feeding bees with them.
I'm just a rank newbee so take all of that with a grain of salt, it's subject to correction by somebody that's smarter than me!
Best wishes,
Hambone, do you cover the jars with anything? Just curious about your experiences using them in the sun. Thanks!
Mann lake baordman feeders with the tubes, or a boardman with a piece of screen mesh in it. The drowning bees come (in a boardman) other bees continualy knocking bees back into the feed. Think trying to get out of teh pool when everyone else wants in... for under 10.00 you cant beat them... And FYI I think the floats are the worst system ever
Chuck Norris has a grizzly bear carpet in his room. The bear isn't dead it is just afraid to move.
I have great success with Miller style feeders with screen, no problems with bees drowning!!! Also use jar feeders...
No problem with pressure building up inside the jar causing excess syrup to be pushed out? I've "read" that can be a problem with jars exposed to the heat of the sun...and that's why I'm asking you since you've got hands'on experience with it!. I've got a few migratory tops that I could experiment with this summer. Are your feeder holes screened? Thanks again. Ed
I do not screen my feeders. I pull them if there is going to be a twenty degree difference in day and night time temps.
Another jar feeder set-up.
Yea, sorry meant division board... I was in GA all weekend and drove in late last night. That 13 hour drives just wipes me out...
And yes any jar type feeder will pump out the syrup as the air warms up
Intheswamp.. motox573.. I use the Mason jar feeders (3/4 Advantec migratory covers) on approx 150 hives each year. I like 1/2 gallon and one gallon jars as I don't have to refill as often. Never had a problem with them.
Here is a photo of some of them in use.

Good for you. Sell your guns through a dealer if you want. Don't try to make those who don't look like idiots, however. Most of us take reasonable precautions when selling FTF.
Sounds just like anti gunners who want to punish everyone because of the few.
You don't like the videos of bump firing, don't watch them. Don't like the proud parents who take pics of their kids with their new firearms, don't look.
I'm sick of idiots too....idiots who spend my tax dollars frivolously, idiots who can't handle a gun, idiot "stars" who talk crap about my country, my life, my rights...
Maybe you need a break......you may not need to hear about the 2nd, your rights, or anything else, but there are still people who can be reached.
Happy New Years.

Stevens Stadium - Buck Shaw Field
Buck Shaw Stadium earned national attention when it played host to the 1996 NCAA Women's Soccer Championship. Earlier in the season, a crowd of 3,714, a SCU regular-season soccer attendance record, came to watch Santa Clara defeat top-ranked Notre Dame 3-1. But on Dec. 6 and 8, a packed house assembled to watch North Carolina beat Santa Clara, Notre Dame and Portland for the NCAA Championship. The two-day attendance of 17,600 was a record for the event, and the 8,800 that filled the expanded seating on each day of the tournament marked the largest crowds ever to watch a collegiate women's soccer game in U.S. history.
In 1994, the facility served as the practice site for the Brazilian National Team during the World Cup competition. Brazil, the eventual World Cup Champions, practiced from May 26 through July 7 in front of full stands. Later in the competition, the Romanian squad also utilized Buck Shaw Stadium to prepare for its quarterfinal match with Sweden.
The Santa Clara men's and women's soccer teams have used the facility to great advantage. From 1988 through `92, the men's squad put together a 43-match unbeaten streak in Buck Shaw, including five home victories in the NCAA Tournament in 1989 and `91. The women's team has compiled a 183-25-12 mark on the home turf since 1986, including a 32-match win streak from 1997 - 2000, and in 1989, `90, `97, `98, `99, and `01 won an NCAA Regional at home to advance to the national semifinals.
The Santa Clara baseball team called the facility home from 1963-2005 before moving across the street into Stephen Schott Stadium in April of 2005. The football team compiled a 106-42-1 home record during its stay at Buck Shaw, including five seasons which saw the Broncos post perfect home records. In one stretch, Santa Clara won 20 consecutive home matches.
The stadium was dedicated on October 6, 1962, prior to the football game between Santa Clara and Occidental, but was first used in the Broncos' loss to UC Davis on Sept. 22, 1962. Through the years, the spirit of Buck Shaw has been kept alive by the many great athletes who have competed on the stadium's turf over the past 52 years.

Homeowners favor voting for annexations
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - A proposed Tennessee bill could change the way cities expand their limits.
The legislation calls for a local referendum for property owners and a majority vote before local governments can annex.
For years, Kingsport annexation has been a hot topic in Randell Gortney's Colonial Heights neighborhood, but it's something he doesn't want to see. "Our taxes go up, and I don't feel like we [would] get that [many] services out of it," said Gortney.
But right now, Tennessee state law doesn't require him to have a vote on that decision. His neighborhood lies in a 100-square-mile boundary that's up for grabs for the city of Kingsport. "In 2000, we adopted an urban growth policy, and the urban growth plan outlines exactly where we can annex," said Lynn Tully, Kingsport's planning and community development director.
Under proposed House Bill 0590, filed by Micah Van Huss (R- Johnson City), it's the property owners who would get a final 'say-so' on annexation. City planners told us that could make expansion more difficult. "I don't know that it would change our annexation strategy a huge amount, but it would take a little longer I think," said Tully.
Homeowners on the brink of becoming city citizens said that's something they don't mind.
From weighing in on services that impact daily life -- "It'd be nice to not have to deal with like the waste management aspect of it, and maybe the water and stuff like that," said Terence Webb, a Sullivan County resident.
To fees and taxes--- "Doubling your taxes is something I'm sure most property owners would like to have a say in," said Karyn Cross, another Sullivan County resident.
Some feel putting their voice in a ballot box puts their property in the hands of a democracy. "This country is built on that. It should be what, like I said, the majority wants and give us a decision it anyway," said Gortney.
This proposed legislation would also require municipalities to give notice to all property owners with a 90-day notice and three informational meetings.
It would also not allow farmland to be annexed unless it is zoned by the property owner for used other than agriculture.
The bill is scheduled to go to a subcommittee next week.

I picked this up at an antique shop in Maine last year. The woman told me it was a "bee trap".
This is the front. It's hard to see but inside, there are two cones hanging from the top.
Here's the back...you can see the cones better.
This is the screening on the bottom.
I know I've seen these, maybe on e-bay, but not sure what they're original use was for. Drone traps?

Once denigrated as journalism's version of light beer, infographics are now de rigueur, especially for interactive news outlets. Done well, these colorful and clever variations on standard chart and graph designs can convey a lot of information quickly.
A staple of USA Today and other easy-to-read, easier-to-scan publications, infographics work by condensing data like test scores, budget priorities, and student demographics into visual representations that audiences can grasp easily. Unlike data tables, which tend to overwhelm non-statisticians with numbers, infographics make it easy for school officials to highlight key points.
Fueled in part by the social media explosion, infographics also are popular with content aggregators, which gather and redistribute information already published online. As a result, infographic press releases, which combine snappy graphics, credible data sources, and a factoid or humor-driven content, are becoming a "go to" tool for anyone with good data or a point of view to sell.

Jenny McCarthy shows off her new foot tattoo as she continues to promote the heck out of her new show.
Yeah, Kristin Cavalarri would like all of us to think that she had nothing to do with this "random" encounter with a pap.
I'm on board the Katy Perry is pregnant train except for two reasons. They just had sushi and who would ever want to spawn a John Mayer baby. Oh, and P.S. Russell Brand would like his boots back.
Kate Upton is way more covered up for this photo then the paint on the breast one in SI.
Kendra Wilkinson on the new reality show. Celebrity sex toys.
Yeah, see, even Mila Kunis liked that joke.
Rebel Wilson got front row tickets to the Lakers again.
Seriously, if you have not watched it yet, look on here for the Will Ferrell security guard video.
Long time no see Rebecca Gayheart. Remember when she used to be everywhere? Of course that is when there were the threesome drug stories with pictures everywhere too.
