A rule change in State of Origin eligibility which will see fewer Kiwi players defect to Australia has been greeted as a "really positive outcome'' by New Zealand Rugby League.
From 2013 no player will be eligible to play for New South Wales or Queensland unless he has lived in that state before the age of 13, or unless he is the son of an Origin player.
The rule will prevent New Zealand teenagers from being lured by the prestige and pay packet of Origin football and being forced to turn their back on the country of their birth.
The issue has been a hot button in league circles in recent times, with the numerous young New Zealanders being targeted by by State of Origin selectors. The defection of James Tamou, who had previously declared his desire to represent New Zealand before this year playing for New South Wales and Australia, invoked particular ire on this side of the Tasman.
Under the new rule Tamou, who moved with his family to Australia when he was 13, would have been ineligible for Origin selection and likely would have turned out for the Kiwis instead.
NZRL chief executive Jim Doyle believed the new rule would have a direct correlation with New Zealand retaining talent at an international level.
"It's a really positive outcome. Now it becomes very clear to everybody, whereas previously there was a little bit of ambiguity,'' he said.
"There's no doubt New Zealand create really good rugby league players. There will be players that go through our systems here and go across there at 16 or 17 and end up with one of the clubs there, but they'll now play for the Kiwis rather than play State of Origin because they won't be eligible.
"Which, to me, is the right thing because their origin of state is not New South Wales or Queensland.''
Australian Rugby League commission chairman John Grant said preserving the sanctity of the "unique'' competition was the driving force behind the rule change.
"State of Origin is an incredibly important part of the game and the heart of the concept is a person's state of origin,'' he said. "It is fundamental therefore that the concept is preserved on that basis.''
The cut-off age of 13 was fine by Doyle who said NRL clubs were not targeting players of such a young age.
"If you look at the number of kids that transfer from here across to Australia to play rugby league, they generally don't go at the young age, they go at 15, 16, 17 or 18.
"If they go across at a younger age, generally it's because their parents are moving there for work-related reasons rather than going for rugby league. It's too young to identify, `this person's going to be a star so let's get him across so he can play State of Origin'.''
Other amendments announced yesterday by the ARL commission included shoulder charges being outlawed and the scrapping of the controversial benefit of the doubt system previously used by video referees when awarding tries.

Weight Watchers Drops On Guidance, CEO Resignation
Shares of Weight Watchers (WTW) were sinking 20% on Friday afternoon, on the back of its outlook and the departure of its CEO.
The weight loss company's second quarter itself was better than expected. Weight Watchers said it earned $64.9 million, or $1.15 a share, down from $77.5 million, or $1.36 a share, a year earlier. Excluding one-time charges related to debt refinancing, earnings were $1.39, ahead of the $1.11 analysts estimates.
Revenue fell 4.1% to $465.1 million, also ahead of the consensus of $460.4 million.
However, investors were spooked by the company's full year guidance, as it lowered earnings per share expectations to a range of $3.55 to $3.70, from $3.60 to $3.90 and below analysts' expectations for $3.70 a share.
In addition, Chief Executive David Kirchhoff resigned to pursue other opportunities. James Chambers, the current COO who joined the company at the start of the year, took over as CEO effective immediately.
Wedbush Securities analyst Kurt Frederick, maintained his Neutral rating on the stock but lowered his target price by $2 to $40. "Management anticipates entering 2014 with active meetings members down in the mid-teens y/y and online members down LSD to MSD, sharply below 2013 when it entered the year with 10% fewer meetings members and 15% more online members. Additionally, the company entered into a $1.5 billion interest rate swap to fix the interest rate on 60% of total debt, resulting in 2014 interest expense rising $14 million and total pre-tax earnings drag of $64 million ($0.70 per share). Given the significant headwind, we believe positive 2014 growth is unlikely. We would need to see improvement in membership, particularly within the online business, before becoming more bullish."
The shares are up less than 6% in the past year.

i dunno if i sld quit or continue plaeing, its quite fun,but..... too easy, so jus sum opinions
i dunno if i sld quit or continue plaeing, its quite fun,but..... too easy, so jus sum opinions
The "easy" was one of the major points that killed the game for me (although I was playing the version that's called Sword of the New World).
"Playing" was more like walking somewhere for half an hour, then ALT-tabbing out of the game to do something else. Or if I wasn't ALT-tabbing I would let two chars kill stuff, and use the third one to collect loot from my kills and the kills from other people in the area.
I never even assigned a single skillpoint, since the chars don't use skills.
And to top things off, I had a rather useless group: a healer, a fighter, and a musketeer. The bullets for the musketeer were too expensive for the income, so she had to use fists a lot. The fighter was extremely pointless when the musketeer was active. The healer was ok.
In fact, when I quit I wasn't just pissed off by the quests and the general stupidity of the game; I had bought a fortune worth of bullets before going to bed, and when I came back the next morning I was out of bullets and hadn't even gained a level.
On the other hand, the thread starter felt the game was fun. I never got anywhere near thinking THAT.
My current game status
( Not playing anythiing these days, seems F2P MMO"RP"Gs have finally pissed me off enough )
Went back to Cabal for a bit, but PK isn't my thing at all, so I don't know how long I'll stay this time.
Well, I didn't find the bullets too expensive but that's the only good point I found about the game (If ya check the auction house thing, people sometimes sell ammo there. I was able to get like 100k bullets for 1 thousand gold)It was just soo damn EASY! My team was 2 musketeers and a scout, and you never have to do anything at all. My musketeers killed anything in sight and the scout collected the loot and did the occasional healing when it was needed.
Yeah, you can try to play but it's not like other MMOs where you control each action your characters do, they run themselves completely so really are there is for you to do is watch. And if you're just gonna watch, why not go AFK and watch tv for a bit?
Now, ya wanna make it really easy? Get into a party. You're already 3 people, so if you're in a party with 3 other people that's 9 characters beating the snot out of monsters. Plus there's hardly any customization and the skills are basically useless so ALL there is for you to do is chat with friends and watch your characters kill things. Personally, I play an MMO to...ya know...play an MMO. I can talk to people while I'm actually playing other games, so I'd rather do that.
I have played this game only once but did not find so much fun.
i love the game its not hard to level in very fun when u have a nic active guild.. fun gm events searching for a gm or like pvp events.. ive been playin since korean ob im playin sword of the new world now
I love this game, especially the ability to make nice screenies =3
Highstreet5 (Singapore) - Inahime, 紅孩兒
Perfect World (My) - 周泰
PSO:BB - Nagamasa
Sword of the New World - Zhoukko
Hero Online - Dyaus, TiianShi
...'n some more games but not as much. ;3
the only thing that i love from this game is pvp, controlling 3 characters at ones is not that easy, and that is where skills come in the healer is very essential specially when it have resurrection, your opponent will be pissed off as long as your healer is alive though resurrection is a little expensive ahihi.. Musketeers got a single shot kill skill my favorite.. havent tried other char from the start i handle 2 musketeer and a scout
3 characters isn't that hard when you actually give it some tioem to develop your own pro skills and the way i managed to to that is raid.raid.raid. now 3 toosn at once sometimes even with single control is too easy for me to deliver some pwn sauce ^^ and the game to me is my favorite MMO, always was always will be for the simple fact of 3 toons at once the grind isn't grueling....good peeps, great design, and overall always changing

So, the kids are home and the novelty of the presents will likely fade after a few days. It happens every year and the remainder of your winter break will be spent wondering how to entertain your brood, indoors and out. Between family functions and movie nights, try some of these ideas.
The Kids Winter Handbook J 790.1 D761k, written by Jane Drake & Ann Love and illustrated by Heather Collins has many wonderful ideas for enjoying this frosty time of year. It's full of ideas for winter crafts, outdoor activities and even some recipes. Chances are, it'll snow over break and if so, you may want to try Snow Science on page 30. You'll need a clear glass plate, hairspray and a magnifying glass.
Plan ahead for a snowy day by spraying the glass plate with hairspray and placing it in the freezer. When flakes start falling, head outside with your plate and catch a few flakes. For younger children, or if you have concerns about broken glass, use a dark-colored velvet fabric scrap instead or any fabric with a high nap (from Go Outside! By Nancy Blakey J796 B637G). Stretch the fabric over a piece of stiff cardboard, attach with staples or hot glue, and for a deluxe model, hot glue a popsicle stick for a handle. You'll also want to put this in the freezer ahead of time – a cold surface will keep the snowflakes from melting on contact. After some have landed and stuck to your plate or fabric, take a closer look with a magnifying glass. Page 31 of the Handbook offers a nice chart of snowflake shapes to help you identify your frozen treasures, or check out this website http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/class/class.htm.
Snowflakes come in several basic shapes: stellars & plates (the most traditional snowflake shape), columns & capped columns, needles, spatial dendrites and irregular crystals. Snowflake shapes are determined by air temperature and humidity levels; higher water levels in the atmosphere create bigger snowflakes. According to Guinness World Records, the largest recorded snowflake to reach the ground was 15" across and 8" thick, reported by a rancher in Montana in 1887!
Create a winter wonderland indoors. Cut plain white copy paper or any lightweight craft paper into circles of any size and then fold over 2 or 3 times. Cut patterns or random shapes along all the edges and open up to reveal your one of a kind creation. This is a great activity for younger children to hone their fine motor skills. The rippled basket coffee filters also work well to create gauzy three dimensional flakes, or try wax paper to create "icy" snowflakes. To make a non-traditional columnar snowflake, fold rectangles accordion style and cut out around all sides. These are trickier because all the folds must match up otherwise it won't work. When my children were younger, it was a favorite winter activity to cut out snowflakes and tape them to our windows. You can also take some fishing line or clear acrylic quilting thread and string the flakes along it, taping them in place to create a garland that can be strung anywhere in the house or even outside on a covered porch or patio.
If you're landscape looks drab after the holiday lights come down, consider making garlands with cranberries and peanuts in the shell. (Photo courtesy of http://gigglesgalore.net where you can see the whole tutorial) Both can be strung on a heavier weight thread or fishing line using a large darning needle. Poke through the center of each peanut - it's the narrowest and softest part. Younger children will need some supervision on this one! For a fancier project, Winter Wildcrafts by Tessa Evelegh (in adult nonfiction 745.5 E93w) features a Cranberry Heart using floral wire (save that one for Valentine's Day) but a simple circle or square might do the job til then. While the cranberries will be decorative only, their tart flavor keeps the birds away, the peanuts are a favorite among birds such as jays, woodpeckers and even chickadees. Just be sure the peanuts are unsalted. Salt will dehydrate your feathered friends, especially so at this time of year. Make several strings of peanuts and hang over trees and shrubs near your windows and the birds and squirrels will soon follow. This could even spark some bird watching so stop by and pick up some books on identifying birds like The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of North America by Bill Thompson in juvenile nonfiction J598.07234 T468Y or Birds of Ohio: A Field Guide by Stan Tekiela in adult nonfiction 598.09771 T266B.
Another outdoor decorating idea from Winter Wildcrafts is the Eucalyptus Star on page 108. Try this with boxwood which is readily found in many northeast Ohio yards. On a dry day when the ground is clear, send the kids out to collect fallen branches (consider it a head start on your spring cleanup); you'll need 6 similar in size. Then prune your boxwood shrubs of enough branches (12-18) in similar lengths to your collected "sticks" to create two triangles. Attach 2-3 branches of boxwood to each bare branch with some floral/craft wire and then wire three together to form a triangle. Overlay the two triangles, one upside down, and wire together to create a star. Loop a decorative ribbon through top point and hang. A simple square would also look nice or maybe a monogram if you're up for a challenge!
And whether you've been outside in the cold or crafting by the fire, treat yourself to some hot chocolate. A fun twist on homemade hot chocolate appears in the November/December 2013 issue of American Girl magazine on page 22 or find it at this link for Cocoa Cubes http://www.americangirl.com/play/magazine/. Melt some baking chips and pour into a silicone ice cube tray. Sprinkle with topping of your choice like, mini marshmallows or crushed peppermint candy and let harden. To make cocoa, melt one cube in 8 ounces of hot milk. You can also bag a few in a decorative mug for a last minute gift.
Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and crafty new year!

Don't Fear A Fever
Fever......I talk about it every day, even in the summer months, but during the winter I sound like a skip on a CD explaining the "facts that we know" about fever.There are so many falsehoods surrounding fever, and many have been passed around for years.
To begin with, FEVER is simply a symptom, it is not a disease. We pediatricians define a fever as greater than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Now I know many people say, "but my child's body temperature runs lower than 98.6, therefore they have a fever when their body temperature is 99.8 degrees.". What about, "my thermometer must be off because my child felt hot and the thermometer only read 99.9 degrees." Yes, these are often heard statements by parents in my office, who are convinced that their child has a fever, even when they don't. That is not to say that you might not feel great when you have a cold and your body temp is 99.8, but you don't really have a fever.
Fever frightens parents, especially with young children and over the course of parenting most of us figure out that fever is not "scary". I sometimes say "look at fever as your friend" as this means that your child's immune system is working. When you are sick and all of those white cells go to work, they release all of their "disease fighting chemicals" which ramps up the body to fight the infection and fever develops. See, it is just a symptom of many different things going on within our body when we are sick. Other symptoms, especially at this time of year include, cough, congestion, sore throats, vomiting, diarrhea. What really stinks is when your child has ALL of these symptoms at one time.....they just feel yucky!
Another myth, fever causes brain damage and that "the higher the fever the greater chance of brain damage". This is NOT true. High fever usually makes your child feel worse, but their brains are just fine. Yes, febrile seizures do sometimes occur (my own son had them), but even a febrile seizure does not cause brain damage. Febrile seizures are scary for a parent to watch, but they may occur with any degree of fever. That is to say a seizure may occur with a fever of 101 degrees or 104 degrees, doesn't really make a difference. A febrile seizure does not necessarily mean your child is any sicker than another child who does not have a seizure with their fever. I know sounds crazy, but very true.
This is just the first part of the fever story.....more fever facts to come this week.

Of course thers the 3rd option, give the wife extra back rubs and just do both at the same time. But seriously, if I had to choose, what do you guys think, rims or tires.

The thought of using the concentrate occurred to me after I baked them...there's always next time.
Today I sewed on Row #6 of the airplane quilt, but it was too heavy to keep working with so I didn't get any quilting done on it. I am going to pin Row #7 (last one) on tonight, then just quilt both when I can.
Below are some pictures of what I worked on instead. This is a quilt for my MIL...her mom did the embroidered blocks several years ago. Look at the back and how neat it is! MIL found them in a box after she died....only September was missing for some reason so MIL made that one.
I didn't want to just sash and put together in regular rows so am altering the "Big Easy II" pattern using these fabrics. Some blocks will go in the center of the blocks that look "on-point" and some will go in the middle of the 4-P (like the last picture).

You have to make sure your GTA4 is v220.127.116.11 or lower. I googled "Gta 4 v188.8.131.52 Patch", and dled it that way. It sucks to have to downgrade btu this mod is worth it. Then you just drag the PlayerSelector from this dl into your main directory. Make sure you dl xliveless v220.127.116.11 also and just put the xlive.dll into the main directory. That should be it. (THIS DROVE ME CRAZY FOR SO LONG!)

Magkaibang Mundo September 1 2016 Full Episode Replay
Malalagay ba sa panganib ang buhay nina Pepay at Inoy dahil sa kahibangan sa pag-ibig ni Jeffrey? #MMPaglilitis
SHOW DESCRIPTION: Magkaibang Mundo (English title: My Secret Love / lit. Different World) is a Philippine fantasy heavy drama television series broadcast by GMA Network starring Louise delos Reyes and Juancho Trivino. It premiered on May 23, 2016 replacing Wish I May on the network's GMA Afternoon Prime block, and will also air worldwide via GMA Pinoy TV.
Assunta returns to GMA Network after 13 years since Hawak Ko Ang Langit as her last soap in 2003, and Gina comeback show since Luna Blanca in 2012. This also serves as the first teleserye of Liezel Lopez after StarStruck.
Princess comes from a prosperous and loving family. Her parents Ruben and Amanda run a shoe-making business and provide generously for their daughter. They teach her to be humble, generous and kind towards everyone, regardless of social stature. Unfortunately, Princess' picture-perfect life takes a turn for the worse when a fire breaks out in their shoe factory.
Ruben dies during the fire while trying to save his sister Noreen. After the incident, all of Ruben's property is transferred to Noreen by law and by virtue of her status as the eldest in the clan. But Noreen, instead of distributing the properties fairly, takes it all for herself. Together with her husband, Jojo, and two daughters, Noreen runs Amanda out of her home so that they can move in. Jojo frames Amanda for an incident wherein an innocent bystander gets severely injured, which leads to her imprisonment.
Princess is left isolated, lonely and bullied by her relatives in her own house. Fortunately, she meets an adventurous elf named Elfino while walking by a mound in the backyard. Elfino uses his magic to cushion Princess from her hardships. She finds comfort in him and their friendship soon grows. Elfino becomes attached to Princess and he finds a way to transform himself into human form so they can always be together. They fall in love and Princess becomes happy despite her family situation.
One day however, Princess discovers a terrible secret. She finds out that Noreen intentionally trapped her father inside the burning factory to steal her family's wealth.

New 40g lightly planted Goldfish tank
Day 17 after planting current tank shot
Attachment 84418
First things first Ty all so much for the kind words and advice I'm learning south by lurking around here haha
Ok so one thing I want to get out of the way is if there is anyway this could get moved to the Tank Journals section it's kind of is one and I feel like I started it in the wrong place
Ok so the update, since last time I have upgraded my lighting to 3 cfl's all running 24w cool white globes, I have two on the back and one on a front corner.
Attachment 84394
Attachment 84402
Now I have a question, with the lights like that I seem to have high/low to low/medium par, should I be thinking about DIY Co2 or will daily excel be enough? I can't help bit feel the excel isn't doing anything.
I have also done away with the plane(for now) and added a couple bunches of what was labeled foxtail but I'm 99% sure it's Cabomba and the Goldie's love it lmao good thing it's cheap at only $6 a bunch hahaha
I have also added a school of 6 peppered Cory cats and glad I did these guys are amazing to watch scooting around the rocks and trying to school with the Goldie's haha and put a few more handfuls of sand in to fill out the front more
The swords are doing good all of them have 3-4 new leaves it seems and one of the j.fern has a new leaf coming up
So that's it for now, I'm going to be working on a new scape outside of the tank with wood and stone as the Goldie's will be going to a new home on the 21st and I'm going to be getting 6 congo tetra so I have some time to get it just how I want it
And now some misc pics
Attachment 84474
Attachment 84466
Attachment 84458
Attachment 84434
Attachment 84442
And a bonus project I'm tinkering with
7.5" cube that holds roughly 1 gallon
Attachment 84482
And that's it lol thanks for stopping by guys and gals
New 40g lightly planted Goldfish tank
Yeah the castles, personally they wouldn't be in there but they were apart of the Chrissy gift like the plane so they have to stay, although I am very tempted to cover them in moss and turn them into little hobbit homes to cover them up hahaha
I also poked around the rocks and they seem stable enough, next water change ill get in there and do a proper earthquake test thanks for the tips
|I like the plane better than the castles. And those rocks are great with the plants!
I think that looks good! Although I had to smile when I noticed the plane compared to the size of the castles. Just be sure the rocks are really stable, because goldfish like to nose around and can get quite pushy about it.
Btw, you found the mother lode of driftwood. You need another tank to make use of it.
New 40g lightly planted Goldfish tank
Hay everyone just a small up date
I done a rescape today I took out all of the wood and have replaced it with smooth river rocks in the mid stacked up(think cichlids) and have planted the 3 swords and Val's in the back and put the J.fern at the front, Iv started dosing with excel at half the recommended amount and made a spray bar for the filter outlet so there is current all around the tank now not just one direction
All plants had really nice growth in the roots and and I could see new leaves coming in, there been in there since the 24/01 so slow and steady I suppose haha
Sorry about the wires and equipment I'm going to save and get a nice canister with inline heater and have to figure out a way to get to the back at get all the cords running down the back seam to hide them but anyways a couple pics
Attachment 79370
Crappy murky pic of the "garden" haha
Attachment 79378
Still not overly happy but it's getting there, the placment of the rocks is bugging me alittle so that will be changing a lot haha I just wanted to make it abit safer for the Goldie's while some more products are acquired and the plants grow up some more
Thanks for looking in and criticisms, good and bad are welcome
|I don't mind the airplane at all
|When they grow up you'll have to worry about them getting stuck in some of the smaller places that they could once go. They aren't as self-aware as some creatures and just don't know how big they get. Goldfish are really fun to keep, but they aren't for every setup. But hey... that's just another excuse to get a different tank!!

This looks pretty sweet I like it and think its really creative!
New 40g lightly planted Goldfish tank
Hmm I have been paying some closer attention to the Goldie's and they are kinda clumsy lmao, so is it just the pointy bits that are the problem? Or when they grow up most things will need to come out just incase it can cause injury?
I really don't want the little guys to get hurt and would prefer to take em back to the store and have the tank I want with fish that suit it, the few that have seen it in person have been awed buy it and having a nice sized school of some kind of tetra instead my be the way to go, Congo tetras or Buenos Aries tetras look pretty and seem to be pretty forgiving
I went to hunt for some driftwood today, we had a river flood winter 2011 and a lot of driftwood ended up high on the bank were regular tides don't reach
As long as its hardwood, scrubbed and soaked this wood is good to use right?
So many things running around I'm my head lmao if only I had another tank hahaha
I took the background off too just to see if I like it, which I do I just have to hide all the cords
As for the hollow ornament everytime I do a water change, about every 5 days I make sure to suck out of there while vacuuming and when filling back up the hose sits in the cockpit area to give it a good wash out
Thanks for the comments guys and gals and don't feel like your harshing on my good times, I think I jumped the gun abit with the Goldie's they were just so cute haha but what I want for a scape and what I want in livestock are not matching up at the moment so I need to rectify that asap
|Nice! I have to admit I was worrying about the wood injuring the goldfish, too. Sorry to be such a downer. Also, you won't need to worry about this right now, but when your goldies get bigger they might try to snack on the white clouds. Oh, I just remembered that some people are really adamant about not putting decorations that are hollow in with goldfish. They can really accumulate waste etc., you'd want to regular clean the plane out.
Glad to see other people are attempting planted tanks and goldfish. I've had success when I introduced them to plants early. They don't seem to see the as food but just parts of the tank.
I do agree with Jasmine about the wood. It looks great. I would love it in a tropical setup (love the root look), but I can see problems down the road. Goldfish are clumsy. After watching them for years I am very careful with what I put in the tank. The pointy bits on your wood look like they could do serious damage if a goldfish ran into them. I'm not knocking you wood (lol pun intended), I'm just trying to point out that it might be a problem on down the road and help you avoid any losses.
Just FYI, as a owner of two fantail goldfish too. Your wood looks dangerous, lol. Fantails are clumsy and they maybe small now and able to navigate their bodies around the wood now but soon they will get bigger and they may hurt themselves running into it, including torn fins, missing scales or lose their eyeballs! =o Also if you by chance have a male and a female when they become of spawning age the male will get pushy and push the female into the wood and or anything else and if its sharp it can hurt her.
I'm not dissing your wood, I think it's pretty rad actually but I just wanted to let you know that it may be so good with your goldies!
New 40g lightly planted Goldfish tank
Hello, thanks everyone for the comments and concerns it's much appreciated
Ok so the wood, it's plum tree wood that's been off the tree for about 16 months now, I gave it a good soak in boiling water and gave it a scrub once the water cooled and chucked it in, I read plum tree wood is aquarium safe and now that it's really water logged it hasn't softened up any but of course I could be way wrong haha but that's why we're here to learn
Now this is probably going to make me sounds like a crack pot but has anyone noticed any negative effect on there fish from using led lights? The only reason I ask is my golden sucker had been freaking out for a couple days now but my water was coming back fine, now my wife said in jest that the shimmer could be giving him war flashbacks, well I thought what the hell and turned em off and didn't use them at all yesterday and now he is just calmly grazing again it's really odd
Not much going with the plants but it has only been 2 days haha I don't know if it's just excitement but I swear the Val is longer and the swords seem to be reaching for the light and have new root growth
The plane has really grown on me and the Goldie's have started to use it to swim through an I hope when I get my white clouds in a couple weeks they will use it to to zoom around and play
The castles Iv been thinking of just moving them out and putting them in 1g nano I'm going to start soonish for a betta and turning them into little hobbit homes or something
Once again thanks for the comments, cheers
|ooh, the plane is interesting. Definitely looks like a crash on an island beach.
|Hope your goldfish are kinder to your plants than mine is! Good luck

Albert Carrisalez and Ricardo Romo
Annual SECC is opportunity to give back
By Albert Carrisalez
Director of External Affairs, Office of the President
(Aug. 18, 2005)--It's that time of year when UTSA faculty and staff have the opportunity to give back to their favorite charities through the annual workplace giving campaign.
The State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC) offers UTSA employees the choice of participating through a monthly payroll deduction or a one-time gift by cash or check. SECC gifts are coordinated by the United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County.
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
In 1993, the Texas Legislature created SECC, which allows employees of all state agencies and public universities to enjoy the benefit of giving to charities. This year's UTSA campaign runs Sept.1-23.
Every UTSA employee will be presented a packet of information, including a directory of eligible agencies and charities, a pledge form and an instruction sheet for online giving. SECC packets will be distributed in each office beginning the first week of September. More than 200 University Area Champions, selected by the university leadership, will help distribute the packets, answer questions about the campaign and collect the packets.
"The San Antonio community needs our help, and I am committed to supporting agencies that assist members of the UTSA family," said President Ricardo Romo. "Last year, some 15 local agencies provided direct services to more than 500 UTSA employees and their families. The San Antonio community has fully embraced UTSA, the rising star of Texas -- and this is our opportunity to give back."
"Our UTSA SECC campaign is not about how much you give -- it's about participating at any level and giving something," said Albert Carrisalez, director of external affairs and UTSA's 2005 SECC chairman. "Our goal is to reach every UTSA employee and faculty member and ensure that they have an opportunity to give back to our community. We would like to hear from you."
UTSA community members and their families who have benefited from SECC partner agency services can share their stories with the UTSA community. Contact Albert Carrisalez at (210) 458-5138, and your story will be featured in UTSA Today.


text: I finally met the owner of a home in town with a hive in the backyard, only to find that he inherited it six years ago and has never touched it. I'm planning on doing a split in spring to have a second hive; could this potentially be good survivor stock to get a queen from? As in, ask him if I can take a frame w/ eggs and place it in a nuc with some bees from my existing hive and see what the resulting queen is like?

Microsoft: Barclays Ups Target to $35; Support, But Rally's Over
Following Microsoft's (MSFT) unveiling yesterday of its long-awaited update to the Xbox game console, the "Xbox One," and a 30% run-up in the stock this year, Barclays Capital's Raimo Lenschow today reiterates an Equal Weight rating on the stock, warning investors to "expect the end of the rally," although he also raised his price target to $35 from $29.
Microsoft shares are down 19 cents, or 0.6%, at $34.66, today.
In Lenschow's opinion, "most of the factors that drove the rally were around sentiment rather than fundamental changes and, hence, we are not sure the relative strength can continue."
Lenschow notes the company beat the worst fears for the Windows business, and after cutting estimates for the business several times, he himself sees little reason for estimates to go much lower:
With some sort of floor established for the Windows division (-9% YoY growth in tough comp quarter), there now seems to be a base for investors to look at Microsoft again […] Given the extent of these revisions, we now see additional EPS downside attributable to Windows revenue shortfalls being relatively limited, as our core Windows revenue (defined below) estimates imply y/y growth of -2% in both FY14 and FY15. This decline is slightly above the Barclays' IT Hardware team's forecast for PC shipments (Barclays PC & Tablet Model) in these years of -6%, as we believe Microsoft's enterprise volume licensing business will continue helping core Windows slightly outpace the broader PC market over the next couple years.
Lenschow is not as impressed with the newfound optimism in Microsoft's cloud computing business as have been some other analysts:
The other part of the increase in excitement has been the new focus on the cloud. With Office 365 and Azure Microsoft has interesting solutions here. Especially Office 365 could be an interesting way to maintain the company's leadership in the productive tool market. However, both are small areas (3% of total revenue) for an otherwise very large company and, hence, the cloud is more about sentiment rather than real changes to the company for now […] while Office 365 has a meaningful presence relative to the entire SaaS landscape, Microsoft still has a very large revenue stream to defend in MBD. In addition, the relatively small size of the Office 365 revenue stream compared to all of MBD means that we cannot justify increasing the multiple on the full division due to the structural growth exposure of just 5% of the revenue stream […] The fact that Azure reached the $1bn revenue mark over the past 12-months is more surprising in our opinion. We believe many investors thought that Amazon Web Services (AWS) completely dominated the public cloud services (ex. SaaS) market. With Microsoft's disclosure though, it is apparent that Azure is having some real success in this market […] We estimated that AWS generated revenue of ~$2.0bn in CY12, representing market share of 30-35% in the IaaS market or 25-30% in the combined IaaS and PaaS market. Using the same market sizing from this report, shown below, we estimate that Azure has somewhere in the range of 10-15% market share in the combined IaaS and PaaS market.
That view is in contrast to bullish notes from Bernstein Research's Mark Moerdler, who has predicted multiple billions in additional revenue over several years if Microsoft can continue to develop its cloud business.
Lenschow concludes the stock won't give up gains, even if the rally is over:
Safe haven status for the time being: We think Microsoft can hold onto its recent gains and we are raising our price target to $35 (11x 2014 EPS). Compared to the large deal enterprise driven vendors like SAP or IBM, the company, as an investment, looks more suited for the current environment; although we note that this could change easily if a second-half spending recovery should occur.
Lenschow's $35 target assigns different per-share values for the different lines of business, as Lenschow lays out in a table:

GTH is 3D Free to Play Fantasy MMORPG. The game was oryginaly released in 2004 but was shut down couple of years later, apparently it has relaunched and as far im aware there are 3 websites with 1 server each.
Gate To Heavens - MMORPG 3D Free to Play
Gate To Heavens - Twilight Official Website
Gate to Heavens - Official Site
The game is story about Hermits who have mystic powers. These hermit must do battle with monsters in there new world now that it has been seperated from the human world.
The seperation was created by a massive earthquake in the Gonryun mountain range on Gonryun Continent. The hermits were sent to the place were they belonged after the mountain range when the worlds were split. The earthquake only stopped after a female hermit named Zuru sacrificed herself. This seperation from the earth is considered the beginning of Hermit history by the hermits.
The hermist seperated themselves into two cultures based on the nature and living conditions of the earth they resided and developed their unique culture up to now. They 4 clans were divided into the North and South and were totally alienated from eachother and would not recognize eachother if they were to meet. Peacful cultures were created in both areas but that was soon to change.
The Ancients of the Hermits sensed that more was to come and something evil was in the air. Another earthquake occured in Gonryun but this time after it subsided terrible demons energies emerged into the Hermit world turning even the most ducile creature into an evil being. This energy stregthened the mutants of the world and created new monster to infect the world with evil.
The lives of many hermits were mercilessly siesed. It is your job as A new hermit to this world to vanquish these demons and bring peace back to your culture and allow once again for the Hermit world to be a joyful one with a proud history.

The gameplay is similar to most MMORPG out there but it does have its differences.
-Auto Quests
In this game you not only get quests from NPC and monster drop you also get them automatically at certain levels and points during your training.
These Quests are given at certain levels and when you achieve a certain amount of EXP after you level. These quest like any are good ways to get experience points and Nak(in game money). Once you complete the quest an in game sequence will start and an angel will come down and present you your reward for completing this quest. The same angel will come down when your automatic Quest begins.
The leveling system is percent base. You achieve levels by getting Experience point by both killing monster and completing quest. Most experience you get will be through killing monsters. You can gain more exp faster if you join parties of people killing monsters you should start doing this once you are level 10+ Its less exp in physical form but because everyone is killing everything it accumulates to be much more unless you have a bad party.
In addition to your traditional Level you also have a Zen Level. The zen level is always less then your actual level. This Zen level is the level that is used to obtain your Abilities in game. Certain quests will give you only Zen experience which is benificial to you because you will be able to obtain skills earlier in your levels.
-Battling System
The battling system is of Real-Time like any other MMORPG. When you engage and enemy it will aggro to you however you can still have another person attack you same target. If the person who attacked with you achieves more damage then you he will earn the rights to the drops even though you attacked first. If you achieve the most damage you recieve the drops and an Attack Bonus which gives you more exp for the kill.
-Group Play
You can have a maximum of 8 people in any one party. When in a party everyone can loot your kills which some times cause in people looting your items if you have a good leader most of the time they will just kick a person for looting. A group is the best way to go for fast experience.
The PvP system in this game is pretty cool. There are Arena's in the two main cities Liberty Haven and Zheldet. In these arena's you can fight with another player for exp, money, or items. To challenge someone you speak to the NPC in charge of the arena in the city which is usually right next to it. You put yourself into the waiting room and when someone challenges they will set the terms of the duel and then if you accept you will be transported in to the arena and the duel will begin.
The dreaded(read best) part of any PvP system is the PKing:eek:. You dont have to worry about this untill you reach about level 45-50 depeding on when you start training in one of the Pk areas. All areas over 50 are pk areas the two first and most known and dreaded are Labryinth and SeducingCooridor. They are the two most common area's for PK. You have to go to both of these areas in a quest called Almighty Weapon which can be done at any time so if you to scared of getting PK'd you may wanna wait but the benifit of the quest early on are worth it to me.
Character Classes
There are four character Classes in this game. Wind Hermit, Soul Hermit, Water Hermit, and Earth Hermit. Each class at level 30 goes through a quest to awaken which alows you to branch off in to one of the two sub classes.
-Wind Hermit
This is the archer or assassin class of the game depending on what you awaken as.
If you awaken as a Wisdom-Eyed Mystic Archer you will be an archer with incredible range and attack power, It is a Hit and Run type class so if you are into melee it is not for you but if you like casters this a great class. I find this class to be fun and it has the ability to go into areas higher then its levels and be able to hold its own.
If you awaking as a Wandering mystic Archer you will be a dagger wielding assassin with the ability to teleport instantly to its target and take it by suprise. If you like a fast melee class with unique abilities and skills this is the class for you!
-Soul Hermit
This is the warrior type of class. You can chose to be a powerful Two-handed user or a quick One-Handed warrior.
If you awaken as a Knight Of Wandering. You will be a powerful Two-Handed weapon warrior with ability to increase its speed by summoning angelic wings. With its arsenal of heavy attack power skills and it incredible power this is any melee'r dream class.
If you awaken as a Knight Of Commitment you will be a noble and quick One-Handed swordsmen. With its quick attack and power it makes quick work of monsters it is a great class for any melee'r who like speed with some power.
-Water Hermit
What is a game with our a Mage or a Healer. Well this class can be either.
If you awaken Destruction Mystic Sorcerer you will be a powerful mage capable of taken down it target it in a matter of a few hits. Dealing massive damage with its spells this class is perfect for any mage player out there who craves power through spells.
If you awaken Gaurdian Mystic Sorcerer you will be a much desired Cleric. This class with its buffs and healing powers it wont be hard to find a party ever. This class is desired by every party and every guild. You choice to make this class will make you loved by all.
-Earth Hermit
The power of Transformation is what makes this class a desirable one. And if not tranformation its massive amount of RA(Health Points) as a tanker.
If you awaken as Transformation Spirit Socerer you will be a druidic power house able to transform in to a variety of beasts to improve you attack power and strike enemy's down. If you like melee with a twist this character class is what you want!
If you awaken as Defense Spirit Socerer you will be a wall of pure RA that any party will want for taking on those big bad bosses. You will wield a might axe or hammer and do a consistent amount of damage. If you are the tanker melee'r type then this is the class that will satisfy you need for excesive RA.
In closing what do you guys think of GTH ?

Guatemala: Background
A History Written by Military
Despite having signed the 1996 Peace Accords to end 36 years of internal conflict, violence and flagrant abuse of human rights still reign in Guatemala. According to Grupo de Apoyo Mutuo (GAM, or Group of Mutual Support)- a Guatemalan civil society organization which tracks acts of violence against human rights- in 2003 alone there were 2654 violations of the officially recognized human rights of Integrity, Security, and Freedom; of these, 1375 are considered violent deaths.
These numbers reflect the continued attacks upon women, journalists, and human rights actors that have proliferated since the period of conflict, which was marked by the outright genocide of some 200,000 Mayan Indians by the Guatemalan government. While the genocide has been recognized as historical fact since the United Nations' Truth Commission report of 1999, the pain from human rights abuses upon those who have resisted government policies has been slow to heal. The brutal murder of anthropologist Myrna Mack in 1990 led to the conviction of former Sargent Noel de Jesús Beteta to 20 years of prison, yet his military superiors fled the country. Meanwhile, the trial for the assassination of Monseñor Juan Gerardi in 1998 has been mired in an appeals process, six years after the fact. Monseñor Gerardi was murdered two days after the release of "Guatemala, Never Again," a report from REHMI (the Project for Recuperation of Historical Memory) which revealed that the Guatemalan army was responsible for the majority of murders during the conflict.
While impunity remains for these and other murders, civil society is screaming out for the indictment of former President and General Efraín Rios Montt for his participation in the genocide. The author of 15,000 deaths and disappearances over a 15-month period between 1982-1983, the dictator dared to run a platform for the 2003 presidential elections, threatening violence if not granted candidacy. Rios Montt was successful in achieving candidacy but did not win the election, and as of April 2004 he had been put under house arrest awaiting a trial for the crimes he committed against humanity during the conflict, brought about by surviving community members and Centro Para La Acción Legal en Derechos Humanos (CALDH, or Center for Legal Action in Human Rights).
A Dreaded Future
Just as alarming, some have speculated the return of the paramilitary Civil Autodefense Patrols (Patrullas de Autodefensa Civil, PAC), previously recruited by Rios Montt and the government during the genocide. In 2002, members of the paramilitary group sought backpay for their participation in the mass killings. The high level of impunity that these members still enjoy is in direct violation of the 1996 Peace Accords, which demanded the immediate disintegration of the group.
As a backdrop to the continuing violations of human rights in Guatemala and impunity for those who commit them, Plan Puebla-Panamá (PPP) has been resuscitated by President Vicente Fox of México. Introduced in 2002 by the Mexican government, PPP would create corridors of infrastructure- principally roads and electricity- which would give transnational corporations access to the resources of biologically rich areas from southern México to Panamá. New center-right Guatemalan president Oscar Berger favors both PPP and the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), knowing that thousands of indigenous communities and small farmers would be forced to migrate or enter into cheap labor, and suffer as a result.
In resistance to genocidal policies, neoliberal free trade agreements, and the impunity of the perpetrators of some of the worst violations of human rights in Latin America, the indigenous communities, women, labor activists, human rights activists, students, and academics in Guatemala will undoubtedly continue to be targets for violence in the coming years.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]
The Ninth Karmapa's Ocean of Definitive Meaning
The Ocean of Definitive Meaning by the Ninth Karmapa (1556–1603) is the most profound and famous text on Mahamudra ever written and is of vital importance in the living Kagyu tradition. It offers a detailed, uniquely comprehensive presentation of instruction on both the view and the practice. In the teachings contained in this book, Thrangu Rinpoche has distilled the essence of the Ninth Karmapa's massive text into manageable proportions and… Read More

A very stable piece of audio production software. Though stable, it unfortunatly is designed by Digidesign, the biggest bastards in the industry. They require you to use exclusively their hardware in conjuction with the software. When the new version of protools comes out, all the sudden you have to buy new hardware because its not compatible with the new version... even though Digidesign themselfs designed and sold the hardware to you only two years earlier. Their hardware is high quality... and you pay for it. An entry level Protools TDM system costs upwards of 10 grand. Isn't it nice to know that those thousands of dollars of hardware will be useless in two years? Protools doesn't play nicely with other pieces of software. Your computer must be free of all other sofware for Protools to work. If by any chance (which is great) that you will need tech support, Digidesign will be glad to take your $60/hour to tell you that the reason your system doesnt work is because YOU fucked it up, even though its clearly bullshit... Every professional in the industry should stock up on MOTU I/O's and nice mic pre and just use Nuendo. It may be slightly less stable, but it can do more and your hardware will last you many years with multiple versions of software.
I wasted $30 grand two years ago on a system thats now worth 2 grand. I should have spend a quarter of that money on a Nuendo system that still would be useable today... even with the new, more stable version. With the extra money I could have bought a rack of high end Focusrite mic pre's to make extemely prestine recordings.

Pretty much what the big guys use for music production. It is not just for some dinky music producer in their own bedroom, it is for the big guys for the major labels out there. If you want to mess around, get a bootleg copy or fork in $50 of FL Studio and play around with it. Very expensive to buy...home studios are not worth it with at least $300 for the set...you can buy a FL Studio set for that worth. All you need is a keyboard, a usb, and maybe a few vsts downloaded from the internet.

I have 98% of it figured but wanted to ask one more thing as I have heard two different sides. My plan was to run my maf between the bov and throttle body, friend says his buddy has it that way and works fine, mechanic I work with says the cold air coming from the intercooler with cool it too fast and screw up the programming. If anyone one knows either way I just want confirm now before I'm stuck in the middle of something.

At the final banquet at Modern Doll Collectors Convention this fall in Winston- Salem, N.C., I had the good fortune of sitting next to doll artist Berdine Creedy of Berdine Creedy Original Dolls. During dinner, she spoke of her charitable commitment to Beautiful Gate in Lesotho (www.beautifulgate.org), located in her native South Africa, and I left that meal thoroughly inspired by her dedication to those less fortunate than herself.
She Reigned Among Wet-and-Drink Dolls for Two Decades
Probably few people ever experience the spectrum of emotions on both sides of the adoption process like Mary Beth Wells. Her anguish ranged from making the painful decision as a young unwed teen to give up a birth child to a couple who could better care for her, to discovering, years later as a married woman who longed for a family, she could no longer have a child of her own. Then she moved through the slow, nail-biting process of adopting a daughter from Guatemala.

News: Tagged as Materials Council
FF Chartwell Web in use on the Materials Council website
The ethical design agency Zerofee recently created the visual identity and website for the Materials Council in the UK. As part of the design of the website they implemented Travis Kochel's groundbreaking FF Chartwell Web font to playfully display and illustrate data.
We caught up with Paul Buck, co-founder of Zerofee to out more about the project and their choice of typeface ...
Can you give a bit of background to the work you did for the Materials Council? What was the original brief that you were given? And what led you to choose FF Chartwell Web?
Materials Council commissioned Zerofee to design their visual identity and various associated materials for their launch in 2012, followed by their website.
We collaboratively devised a brief to develop a visual language that would feel both technical and creative, combining a sense of scientific precision with playful elements, to appeal to their client base of architects and manufacturers. The resulting visual identity lead us to explore bold, colourful infographics to help illustrate what might otherwise be quite dry data about material uses and characteristics. FF Chartwell was chosen in order to help us do this – to display beautiful, modern charts and graphs that brought colour to the website and indicate Materials Council's understanding and love of every detail of their subject. The webfont was launched quite late during our development and, following some experimentation, it seemed clear that we could use it to display scalable, content managed data from the site CMS, instead of the SVG, predetermined set of graphics we'd set out to develop with it. Materials Council can now add new data sets with simple markup, select an appropriate font from the FF Chartwell family and have it mix in randomly with the sets displayed on the site's homepage.
How did you find working with FF Chartwell?
Great! It was easy to install and to control and style on the site with our markup/CSS.
We've also used FF Chartwell in print for another client, both in the form of 'classic' graphs and charts, but also as an illustrative element. As many of our clients are non-profit, charitable or young companies, FF Chartwell has helped us economically produce good-looking information where budgets and time are tight.
One of the founding principles of Zerofee is to work for ethical and responsible brand and organisations and to donate design work to worthy causes. What has been the most rewarding pro-bono work that you have done? Who would be your ideal ethical client?
One of the most rewarding pro-bono projects we've done is the one we're currently doing (and bringing to a conclusion soon) for @artsemergency. Arts Emergency are working to protect arts education here in the UK in the face of government policy that has increased the cost of education to a level beyond the reach of many prospective students. We'll soon be launching their visual identity and website.
There's no one ideal ethical client for us, but we do already work for one of those that we'd include in an 'ideal' list – Global Witness. Global Witness's work and objectives are a close fit with our own philosophies and they have a great attitude and open mind about the role of graphic design in supporting their campaigns, which we're very pleased to be helping them with.
About Zerofee
Zerofee is an ethical design agency based in London. They create, design and implement visual identities and print and digital media for companies who are ethical and responsible. Besides their commercial work they are committed to donating design time to charities and worthy causes.
About FF Chartwell
Travis Kochel's groundbreaking FF Chartwell is a nifty typeface for creating simple graphs. Following the launch of the print version in May 2012, we released a web version in September 2012. Using small Javascript libraries, FF Chartwell Web is more than just a font. Have a go using our live demo and download FF Chartwell Radar Web for free.permalink

If this isn't enough, we have a magnificent room with an unforgettable view.

--Hippie bus - This trip may be filled with hippie sightings. Today's was one of the more artistic viewings. We only captured one side of the bus. The other side featured a memorable artistic rendition of aliens visiting planet earth.
Today we took two hikes. One to fern canyon and the other on a trail named after some dude with the last name Irvine.
Wanting to immerse ourselves in the magnificent Redwoods, but not needing a trail life-threatening long, we ended up on this six-mile round trip journey through old-growth Redwoods. At first the trees were spectacular.
It isn't easy hiking through Redwoods. Their roots are close to the surface meaning each step is a carefully orchestrated move to be sure you don't trip on the roots lining the trail. We passed a man pulling off his boots and socks to check on a twisted ankle. You also have to climb over trees and under trees that had fallen over the trail.
We were getting tired. It was taking forever. Would the trail ever end? Would we get back in time for 7:00 p.m. dinner at the Inn? Would we end up living in a tree?
It took us nearly two and half hours to reach our turnaround point. We were exhausted having trekked the last mile merely on the principle of completing what we set out to do. It was misery and now we had to go back.
Fearing a night in the forest, we put ourselves into motion. Every tree in the forest could have turned purple and started dancing for all we noticed. Our eyes were on the trail and our feet moving like the wind. The three-mile trek back took only an hour and half. Of course, we spent the entire time speed-walking and avoiding tree roots, but we did make it back to the Inn for dinner and more importantly we are not writing this entry from a Redwood tree stuck in the middle of the forest!

Recreational trail brings business to southwest Virginia
WISE COUNTY, Va. - The Spearhead Trails System, designed for all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), opened up less than a year ago in St. Paul, and it's bringing business in town.
"By spring, we'll have about five to dix new businesses, and about $600,000 in private investment, in a town of 1,000 people. That's all in six months from this trail system," says Chuck Reidhammer, Executive Director of the Spearhead Trails.
Many people say they're happy to have such an experience right in their own backyards. "We can leave the house and be here in 20 minutes and be on the trail riding and others places, you have to drive two or three hours away. We're tickled to death to have something like this here," says David Holbrook. He and his wife, Teresa, have visited the trails four times just this year.
This new trail can mean new business. It has some local business owners looking for new opportunities. "From what I'm seeing, our tourism season is going to be 11 months because these ATV riders, they're hardcore," says business owner Greg Bailey.
Spearhead Trails Executive Director Chuck Reidhammer says although the trails are fun, the economic impact is also important. "Prior to Spearhead Trails opening up, there was really no place to ride in Virginia. All of our riders were going out of state, most of them were going to West Virginia. Now they're taking their ATVs and their money and spending it here. Half of our riders now are from Virginia, so what we're doing now is recapturing that revenue and putting it into the hand of our business people," says Reidhammer.
He tells us there are plans for more trails in southwest Virginia. "Every time we're going to build a trail system, we're always going to build near a small town because we create what are called community connectors. It's connecting the trail system to the town," he said.
Plans are in the works to expand the ATV trails to places like Dickenson, Lee, Tazewell, and Buchanan counties.

Much of our summer menu is done on the grill, and peppers and avocados are favorites in my family. That led me to create this recipe to help spice up our barbecued entrees. I have also served it as an appetizer or thin wedges of bread and as a topping for easy country-style dishes like chicken and rice pilaf. With our 14-year-old daughter, we live on 4 wooded acres on Mt. Pisqua. -Theresa Mullens, Gill, Massachusetts

We need several Colonial-type candle molds (10") sold by Betterbee prior to 2004. In 2004, Betterbee's supplier changed the shape of these molds. We need more to meet demand, but can't have some with one shape and others with a different shape.
I will pay new prices, plus shipping, for used but undamaged molds.


text: There have been many posts suggesting that if you see DWV, in numbers, then your hive is doomed if you do not treat. DWV is a virus in bees and can be/is exacerbated by mites. I see DWV, but by doing mite counts, one can decide if it is mite numbers or not. Along another line that was in the previous post,#20, I picked up a swarm last June. Did great till fall. Did a mite count. I quite at forty! I was looking to "cull" some hives that I didn't think would make it as I had to feed most of my hives. Most advice leaned toward they were doomed so why waste energy. I believe it was Michael Bush that posted with, "How do you know what they can do unless you give them the chance." Something to that effect. Stress induced response. They have made it through the winter and are dragging pollen in like the rest. I wondered the same thing as poster 20. Mites run to the small brood numbers and starve. At least some of them. If this queen does what she did last summer, they might just recover. I'm not going to start mass producing queens from her, but she will be interesting to watch, make a split, and see what the daughter does from this yard. Just my observations and thoughts.
