Nine students elected to Journal of Law in Society 2011-12 board
DETROIT (April 27, 2011) - Wayne State University Law School congratulates nine students recently elected to the Journal of Law in Society 2011-12 Board.
Students elected to the 2011-12 board include: Editor-in-Chief Chelsea Zuzindlak, Managing Editor Amanda Haverty-Harris, Symposium Director John Zervos, Reviewing Editor Annemarie Linares, Business Editor Anlyn Addis, Public Relations Director Alyssa Yeip, Senior Note Editor Eric Turnbull, Note Editor Rachael Thomas and Article Editor Hannah Doherty.
As the scholarly arm of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights, the Journal addresses social policy issues in a legal context, with participation from legal scholars, jurists, practitioners and students. Combining legal theory with social reality, the Journal provides a unique forum for the discussion of cutting-edge issues currently affecting American society, and serves as an educational and practical tool for its audience.
The Journal is managed and edited by Wayne Law students and published twice annually. Additionally, the Journal board hosts an annual academic symposium every spring.
"I would like to congratulate the new board members of the Journal of Law in Society," said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. "The Journal of Law in Society has evolved and matured under the excellent leadership of our students. I have been impressed by their efforts and am confident the new board members will continue in this tradition. I look forward to working with them."
According to Zuzindlak, the new board is already focused on future issues.
"In step with its tradition of providing scholarly discourse at the intersection of law and society, the Journal will publish two issues next year that focus on specific legal questions relating to social injustices affecting Detroit and other parts of the world," Zuzindlak said.
Added Zervos, "Our partnership with the Keith Center allows the Journal greater opportunities to help strengthen the relationship between Wayne Law and the larger Detroit community. We look forward to providing readers, the community and future symposium attendees with unique forums to discuss timely civil rights and social justice issues."
The incoming board will officially begin its tenure on May 23, 2011, the first Monday following the Law School's Commencement.

Reviews of this property
Nice apartment, I didn't appreciate the absent of wifi, very important for foreign people to access internet free.
It lived up to all expectations. Comfortable room, peace and quiet. At night and dawn you could hear a pin drop.No birdsong at dawn and no barking dogs.
Karin and hubby were welcoming hosts and with a place to eat involved just crossing to the other side of the road. Only negative for me was the absence of English programmes on the TV but maybe with a Dinosaur's knowledge of electronics I did not find the right button on the remote.
Best wishes to Karin for Xmas amd the New Year
Thank you Karin for your hospitality and help,
A very nice room & house in a lovely residential area. The added bonus is the local restaurant/ bier garden across the street and the fact that it 5 minutes walk to the bus stop and 15 minutes into the centre of Dusseldorf.
Hopefully I will be able to stay with you again
The room was spotless, very quiet area, highly recommended.
The only drawback: not a good restaurant within walking distance.
The owners were very friendly.

Hello all,
I have been considering dipping my hive equipment (pallets, boxes, migratory covers, etc) in one of these two liquids. Out of CN or wax, which is better? Which is more cost effective? What equipment is needed for each process? or is it just better to paint? With wax dipping, do you mix in any type of oil, such as linseed? Where do you get wax? Please input here. Also if you have photos of your equipment, I would love to see your setup. Thanks in advance!

Check Gunbroker, there's usually at least one Century made 80% FAL receiver for sale. I've heard they're almost impossible to finish, but I've never had any experience with them.
Here's one: FAL receiver casting 80% : Parts Kits at GunBroker.com
Also, if you're gonna build an HK91, might want to make it unique:
https://www.apexgunparts.com/product...td4u6movljfj97 Apparently it's a rare, British made kit with a demilled barrel. The barrel just has holes drilled in it so I think you could possibly weld it up and reheat treat it, all for the sake of keeping originality and saving a buck or two, but you'll have to worry about where else to put your 922r parts

The world's population is expected to surpass 9 billion people by the year 2050. In order to ensure better, more convenient, safe and secure lives for the future, it is important that we make the best use of limited resources and energy as we move forward.
Since its founding, Panasonic has always been focused on people, and on improving lives through a variety of products and services. From now on, Panasonic will pursue the concept of "A Better Life, A Better World," meeting the needs of each individual customer, and will aim to achieve a sustainable society through solutions grounded in technologies of saving, creating, storing, managing energy, and realizing more comfortable lives both in residential and non-residential spaces with minimal energy consumption.
Many of Panasonic's home appliances are equipped with ECONAVI function. This function automatically detects losses and then adjusts to conserve electricity and water by itself. For instance, ECONAVI refrigerators learn when they aren't being used by the family and then eliminate unnecessary cooling during this time. Likewise, televisions control screen brightness based on where people are located and the brightness of the room. And washing machines detect how soiled or dry clothing is and adjust electricity and water use accordingly. Designed to maintain and improve our quality of life while also eliminating wasteful CO2 emissions, Panasonic delivers a variety of products and services to households in 88 countries throughout the world.
Building on the environmental technologies and products developed by Panasonic, we are teaming up with our business partners to create non-residential spaces such as eco-conscious retail stores.
For instance, at a branch of the Lawson's convenience store located in Ebina City in Japan, new power-saving non-CFC refrigeration systems, refrigerated display cases, professional-use air conditioner units, ventilation fans and kitchen equipment were introduced, as well as a system to network and manage the equipment for optimum operation, and an ERMOS remote monitoring system. Additionally, the store's roof is equipped with solar batteries (18kW) that utilize highly efficient HIT solar panels, which together with coordinated generation and storage using lithium-ion storage battery systems and power stations, help to reduce energy consumption by approximately 30%.
Using green technologies such as non-CFC refrigeration systems, energy management systems (EMS), energy creation-storage coordination systems that combine solar panels and lithium-ion storage batteries, and LED lighting, Panasonic plans to continue collaborating with commercial vendors to create a wide range of eco-conscious retail stores.
Panasonic aims to create sustainable towns and cities, lush with green space and supported by local production and consumption.
Featuring electrical power and IT networks constructed by Panasonic and its business partners, the Fujisawa Sustainable Smart Town, scheduled to open in March 2014 in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, is a "town of the future," supporting residents with safe and secure lives. To realize the Fujisawa vision, we set lofty goals and implemented guidelines to achieve them, including a 70% town-wide reduction in CO2 emissions through installation of solar panels and storage batteries in all homes, a 30% reduction in domestic water use, a 30% use ratio for renewable energy and a three day stockpiling of lifelines.
Following a business model which capitalizes on Panasonic's experience in town planning, we intend to actively promote Smart Towns both within and outside Japan.
Panasonic's cutting-edge environmental technologies are also contributing to smart city planning in China. For instance, in Dalian, when selecting a place to live, many people are deeply concerned about the quality of air within the home. In the Dalian BEST-CITY project, in order to meet this need, newly developed technology for the visualization of air quality was incorporated into the homes' Home Energy Management System (HEMS), which features visualization of energy usage.
In Singapore, Panasonic is cooperating with government organizations to participate in the Total Energy Solutions demonstration project being implemented for public housing in Punggol.
Panasonic boasts a wide range of materials, products and supporting technologies that contribute to creating, storing, and saving energy, and saving water - such as the CASART ECO CORDIS, which is a house by PanaHome that combines features such as HIT solar panels, Ene-Farm fuel cells for home use, and Smart Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS). First to grasp market needs, Panasonic will continue to capitalize on these technologies and products to offer customers unique value, and deliver "better life" to regions throughout the world.

A party usually held in a basement, but can be held anywhere there is enough room in a house, in which teenagers or young adults pay an admission (usually one dollar-hence the name) and dance in the dark to hip-hop or Baltimore club music. The dancing can be erotic, such as girls giving boys lap dances, or people can battle one another dance-wise. Usually about 30 to 50 or even more will cram into a small space creating a sauna-type amtmosphere and dance until curfew. Great place to pull an "R. Kelly" due to low or no lighting.
Yeah, the twins dollar party was bangin' last week. There were about 60 people there in the basement and the girls were grindin' so hard on me, I thought I was gonna nut!!

Movie Review: World War Z

It's tough to find anyone to cheer for in World War Z, the massive, splashy but oddly uninvolving new Brad Pitt-vs.-the-zombies action epic.

Director: Marc Forster
Rating: PG-13
Studio: Skydance Productions / GK Films
Stars: Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Daniella Kertesz
It's tough to find anyone to cheer for in World War Z, the massive, splashy but oddly uninvolving new Brad Pitt-vs.-the-zombies action epic. Based very, very loosely on Max Brooks' bleak, highly political novel in which worldwide survivors tell tales of life before, during and after the zombie invasion, the movie version deletes Brooks' satire and political punch to instead follow Pitt as a former U.N. guy who gets dragged away from his loving kids and wife (Mireille Enos) and back into service during a global pandemic.
While the world gets overrun by gajillions of fast-moving, fast-multiplying members of the undead nation, Pitt and the movie go to hell and back in a search of a cure—or is it a search for a good plot?—with New York, New Jersey, South Korea, Israel and Wales only providing backdrops for zombie massacres, few of which are anywhere near as grabby as those on any given episode of The Walking Dead. The movie, directed by Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace), offers star/producer Pitt doing his damnedest to make this thing work. But it's a mystery why the U.N., or anyone else in the movie, thinks Pitt's character is such a big wheel. It's not like he has specialized knowledge, skills or savvy. And the constant intercutting of big suspense sequences with worried phone calls to Pitt's wife is fatal to the movie's build.
Sure, there are some enjoyable "Boo!" moments and jumps and jolts to be had here and there, especially during an escape sequence set at an airport during a rainstorm. Helicopters crash, hapless extras and stunt people get sucked out of a crashing airplane and, when the zombie horde scales a giant wall like demented insects, it's a kick, but a soulless one completely lacking in human interest. The whole episodic thing, in muddy 3D, feels stitched together, maybe because World War Z, was judged to require almost two months of reshooting and an entirely new last third. It's not a terrible movie; it's not an especially memorable or imaginative one, either.

[quote user="nycsportzfan"]What do u think all the coaches have been teaching this guy for the last 5yrs? How ot bullrush???lol U don't think the kids learned about hand placement from the last 4coaches hes had? [/quote]
First off, college and highschool coaches rarely have time to teach little things. They dont usually even have position coaches, and when they do, lets face it, its not like a college or highschool position coach is going to have the knowledge that an NFL coach does.
Second, you are VASTLY oversimplifying football. There is a ton of stuff for DEs to learn, how to read pass/run, how to combat various blocks, different positions, etc etc.

It's been another great year for debut mysteries, so if you're searching out a new mystery author to read, try one of these. Running the gamut of mystery sub-genres, time periods, and locations, the listed titles are some of the most popular among our WPPL mystery readers. (Quoted descriptions are from Booklist, Publisher's Weekly, and Library Journal.)
Aspe, Peter - The Square of Revenge - "Belgian crime-fiction veteran Aspe's English-language debut thriller, originally published in Europe in 1995, introduces readers to chain-smoking, perpetually out-of-sorts DI Pieter Van In", fighting crime in the city of Bruges. #2 in the series, The Midas Murders, is due out in the U.S. December 7.
Cha, Steph - Follow Her Home - "A stunning, edgy debut with a modern amateur sleuth, Juniper Song, taking on the darkness below L.A.'s surface with razor-sharp wit." Song's love of detective novels takes her on what ends up to be a treacherous search for information as a favor for a friend. A second title is planned for an August, 2014 release.
Cox, Christopher - A Good Death - introduces Sebastian Damon, "a sharp-witted though struggling Boston PI" who is hired by an insurance company to investigate a client's death in Bangkok.
Crompton, Richard - Hour of the Red God - former BBC journalist Crompton, currently living in Nairobi, presents Detective Mollel, a former Maasai warrior, who investigates a murder during the chaotic Kenyan elections of 2007.
Daly, Paula - Just What Kind of Mother Are You? - set in England's Lake District, Daly's mystery centers around two mothers, a missing daughter and Detective Constable Joanne Aspinall, who is investigating the disappearance.
Grant, Ellie - Plum Deadly - NY banker Maggie Grady returns to her hometown of Durham, NC to work in her aunt's pie shop after being accused of stealing from a client. When her former boss is murdered, Maggie attempts to find the killer and clear her name. (Grant is the pen name of Joyce and Jim Lavene.) Recipes are included.
Link, Charlotte - The Other Child - One of Germany's most successful female crime authors makes her American debut with a mystery set in England. DI Valerie Almond investigates several murders that eventually link back to the disappearance of children during WWII.
Memming, Charles - Aloha, Lady Blue - in the tradition of John D. MacDonald come Stryker McBride, a former newspaper crime reporter living on a houseboat (the Travis McGee, of course) in Hawaii. While not looking for a story or trouble he finds both as he is drawn into the murder of a friend's grandfather.
Miley, Mary - The Impersonator introduces vaudeville actress Leah Randall, who is hired to impersonate a missing heiress and claim her fortune. Leah finds her own life threatened as she becomes determined to learn what really happened to the heiress, discovering a lot about herself, as well.
Neuhaus, Nele - Snow White Must Die - another popular German author storms on the U.S. mystery scene with this police procedural. Two inspectors head to a small German town to investigate a murder with connections to past crimes, while the villagers hide a multitude of secrets.
After the success of their debuts earlier this year, these authors are set to publish the second titles in their series.
Calkins, Susanna - Murder at Rosamund's Gate - features Lucy Campion, a young orphan working as a chambermaid in 1665 London. Coming in April is From the Charred Ruins.
Thomas, Samuel - Shaker Heights resident Thomas had a huge hit with his debut mystery The Midwife's Tale, set in 1644 during the English Civil War. The next installment, The Harlot's Tale, is due out January 7, 2014.
Coming up- a year-end wrap-up and a look at some great titles being published in 2014. For now, the Holiday mysteries are on display - check them out and take your mind off the Christmas hustle and bustle. Season's Readings!!

Filling comb is an old idea, and it works pretty well as emergency feed.
It's time consuming, messy, and doesn't work all that much better than a candy board, but it is easier for the bees to get to the syrup. Probably only possible to fill one side properly, it will spill out if you flip the comb over.
There is no need to worry about inverting the syrup, the bees can use sucrose just fine. They make honey by inverting the sucrose because it stays liquid better for winter storage, but filling comb with syrup is emergency feed, not overwinter prep!

Runaway Bay sits 10 miles west of Ocho Rios and about an hour east of Montego Bay. With quiet coves, infinite beaches and serene waters, this seaside town truly lives up to its name. While it is gradually developing into a popular tourist area, the beaches remain relatively uncrowded and well maintained -- perfect for picnics and outdoor activities. Runaway Bay also offers some of the best snorkeling in Jamaica, with reefs close to the shore and a diverse mix of marine life and tropical fish. Protected dive sites also offer visitors glimpses of a large underwater canyon and sunken ships. Just south of town, guided tours explore the expansive limestone Runaway Cave -- a highlight is the boat ride across Green Grotto, a subterranean lake that lies 120 feet below the surface. Other popular activities in Runaway Bay include golf, horseback riding at Chukka Caribbean Adventures or visiting the 18th-century Seville Great House, which hosts a collection of artifacts detailing five centuries of Jamaican history.
The hotels and resorts on this page have been divided into two groups. Immediately below are the all-inclusive Runaway Bay resorts, where lodging, meals, activities and more are rolled into one price. Farther down on this page, traditional hotels and resorts are listed.

Youngman raises bid for Saab Automobile
• National Electric Vehicle Sweden to buy SAAB
• Youngman exits Saab purchase talks
Swedish media reported on Friday that Chinese auto firm Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile has made an improved 5 billion crown ($700 million) bid for bankrupt carmaker Saab.
The news came the day after Swedish Radio West said that Saab has been sold to Japanese-Chinese electric vehicle consortium National Electric Vehicle Sweden, NEVS. The joint venture is said to be prepared to pay 1.5 to 1.8 billion kronor ($210–250 million) for Saab Automobile, excluding spare parts company Saab Parts.
Youngman's representative in Sweden told daily Svenska Dagbladet that the Chinese firm had raised its bid for all of Saab's assets from an offer of 3 billion kronor it made in February.
"Our revised bid includes all parts of Saab's bankruptcy estate, including the spare parts unit," Johan Nylen said.
"Youngman is pretty convinced it has put in the highest bid and, given that we have shown that we have access to the money, Youngman should be in a good position," he added.

text: Hello, I am in the process of putting my differential back together. This is what I have done so far: I replaced the pinion bearings and races. I reinstalled the pinion gear and bearings and tightened the pinion nut to a preload of 19-20 in lbs. All seemed well and the pinion yolk turned smoothly. I inspected the carrier bearings and bearing caps and they still looked good so I decided to reuse them and the 2 spacers, one on each side. I intalled the carrier and tightened the bearing cap bolts to their specified torque. Now, the pinion yolk is so tight I can only turn it with a crescent wrench. What did I do wrong? Will it get better with gear oil in case and a break-in period to seat the new bearings and races and get everything back into line? This project has taken a couple of weeks to complete, so most of the oil has drained from the carrier and bearings. Or do I need to tear it down and start over again? Your help and expertise will be greatly appreciated.

Today I found 3 or 4 cells, all separate from each other, that were drawn out more than the neighboring cells and were round but open. And at least a couple had a larvae at the bottom. They in normal positions on the frame. Not hanging from the bottom of the frame. So queen cups or uncapped drone cells?
This is in a hive that is struggling. It's in week 5 of a package install. I have not seen the queen in 2 weeks. They stopped taking syrup after 2 weeks. It's has pretty sparse brood patterns but today I was surprised to see one side of one frame almost entirely covered in capped brood. Edge to edge! There is also some open brood with varying stage larvae. Over all not good except for the one frame. They have done better in the last week drawing comb but still no where near my other hive that is doing much better.
Could they be preparing to supersede?
Thanks for any ideas.

Tartan 4700
Not so long ago the accommodations aboard the typical cruising boat were the marine equivalent of a sumptuously appointed cave. In recent years, these "caves" have been provided with an abundance of portlights, hatches, windows and lighter finishes to make them less dark and more appealing. But this progress has come at a price—a finish that may be chic, but bears little resemblance to the dreams of oceangoing adventure many of us grew up with.
Same goes for performance: today's performance-cruisers are faster than ever. But are they going to take care of you in heavy weather in the same way as those pre-IOR boats many of us grew up admiring? Fortunately, there are still builders and designers out there who are willing and able to combine the best of both old and the new in boats like the raised-saloon Tartan 4700.
An extension of the highly successful raised-saloon 4400, the Tartan 4700 is vacuum-infused with epoxy, as is the rest of the Tartan line, which results in a lower resin-to-fiber ratio and a stiffer, lighter hull. The double-spreader mast is carbon fiber—another Tartan trademark—and a carbon-fiber "pocket boom" with an integral sail cover and lazyjack system is standard, as is the self-tacking jib. For years Tartan and designer Tim Jackett have been refining what they call the easy-to-use CCR (cruise control rig), and it finds full expression aboard the 4700. An outer forestay allows you to deploy a large reacher for extra power in lighter air and off the wind.
The rudder is mounted on a carbon-fiber shaft, and a pronounced knuckle below the waterline in the bow will help the 4700 slice through seas, as opposed to pounding into them.
On Deck
The 4700's excellent deck layout, top-quality hardware and well-proportioned raised saloon combine to create an elegant, traditional look that instills a genuine sense of confidence. Side decks are wide, clear and bordered by a varnished wooden toerail/bulwark. Shrouds are well inboard facilitating a clear passage to the foredeck, and there are plenty of handrails right where you need them.
Aft, the cockpit has been configured for sailing first and lounging second. The bench seats are long and correctly proportioned, and there is a small, hinged swim platform in the boat's shapely reverse transom. Nonetheless, this is a cockpit that encloses and protects the crew from the elements, as a bluewater boat should. Winches and rope clutches are well placed for both the helmsman and crew, and there are plenty of places to sit or wedge yourself when taking your trick at the wheel.
My only real complaint concerns the massive bridgedeck. While it's going to do a heck of a job keeping water from getting below, it extends so far fore and aft that it's tough getting down the companionway when the dodger is deployed. Apparently, the dodger on our test boat had an especially low profile, at the owner's request. But even with a higher dodger, the combination of climbing over the bridgedeck while crouching to keep from banging your head is going to be a challenge—at least for a six-footer like me.
Tartan has long incorporated complex angles and an innovative use of space in its accommodations, an approach that works especially well in a raised-saloon boat like the 4700. The massive curved settee embracing the dining table is both a work of art and a great place for hanging out in harbor. I can well imagine killing endless hours here swapping stories on a rainy day, watching the weather through the boat's huge saloon windows. On a sunny day, these same windows admit all the light you could ever want—a far cry from the caves of yesteryear.
The nav station to starboard is one of the most impressive I've seen. Not only is the basic table generously proportioned, but the cabinet for the chartplotter is suspended a few inches above the counter extending forward of the nav table, providing a wealth of extra space for spreading out paper charts and other piloting tools.
The galley is just forward of the dining area. But while this location is ideal for passing food and drinks to seated guests, serving guests or watch-standers in the cockpit will not be so easy. Natural ventilation also suffers so far from the companionway.
A pair of stacked single crew bunks to starboard will make excellent sea berths, complementing the queen-size double berths in the fore and aft staterooms—both of which are large and come with en suite heads.
Under Sail
You've got to love a nice solid boat when it's blowing. We had a bright, blustery day on Long Island Sound with gusts over 20 knots for our test sail, and the 4700 absolutely ate it up. She tracked well but still came about without hesitation, and motion through the chop was easy and reassuring at 8-plus knots on a close reach. Gusts didn't faze the boat at all, even on those occasions when we eased out the main a little too slowly coming out of a gybe. I have no doubt this is a boat that will click off the miles offshore at a good pace, keeping the crew happy and comfortable in the process.
Under Power
Out on the sound, the boat's optional 110hp Yanmar and three-blade folding Gori prop gave us a speed over ground of 5.4 knots at 2,000 rpm, 6.8 knots at 2,500 rpm and 8.0 knots at 3,000 rpm. Even in the stiff breeze, I had little trouble maneuvering in both forward and reverse in the flat water just offshore. Even so, the bow thruster proved invaluable when grabbing a mooring deep in crowded Mamaroneck Harbor when we were done sailing for the day.
Tartan has long gone its own way, marrying a traditional look with first-class build quality. In the 4700, this has once again resulted in a boat that is both beautiful and easy on its crew.

'16 And Pregnant' Season Premiere Totally Delivered! I Feel Bad For Brooke, The Classy Teen Bride With The Race Car Wedding!
Brooke was the mom-to-be featured on the Oct. 26 season premiere of MTV's 16 And Pregnant, and I think we finally have a reality teen with her priorities in line!
Brooke did all she could to make sure she was ready for her baby's arrival. She pushed her husband, high school senior Cody (they got hitched within months of conception), to graduate school early so she could finish up her junior year. The little couple really is trying to do the best they can, living with with Brooke's family while they save up to buy a house… or at least a barn shell, because that's all they can possibly afford (so sad!)
Here's everything you need to know about new mom Brooke:
- How is she as a mom? When Brooke and Cody's baby boy Brody (seriously) was born, life became a constant juggling act of chores, work, school and, of course, raising the baby. But Brooke is doing everything she can to finish school and raise Brody. This girl has a great head on her shoulders!
- What's her family like? Brooke's mom Misty is letting the kids earn their rent by doing the chores around the house. Brooke's family seems super supportive, but they did tell Brooke and Cody straight from the get-go that they're on their own financially with the baby. It's not easy being a teen mom!
- How's the baby daddy? Cody actually seems like a good guy! He said, right after finding out Brooke was preggers, that they needed to get married stat! He stuck with Brooke from the very beginning, but he did need a little push from his baby mama to get his diploma early so he could work full-time at the convenience store once the baby was born!
- So, how crazy are they? For the most part, the whole fam seems loving and generally good — but they are all waaay too into race cars! Cody even opted for a racing suit over a tux for his wedding! But wait… the wedding cake was also in the shape of a Hoosier racing tire! Ooohh boy! Otherwise, on the scale of 1 to crazy, I give this family a light 3.5 … even if it's just for the race car themed wedding.
Here's a video rundown of Brooke's big episode:

Where can I order bulk essential oils from?
Chef Isaac..Culinary Arts and Honey are a sweet mix! http://www.sweetascanbeehoneyfarm.com & http://www.adoptahive.info
given that so little is used in mixes with bees, the cost of bulk doesn't justify (at least to me at this point) buying more then oz bottles.
I am finding that I can get by with about 1/4 of what my original recipes are. I was using way too much and through trail and error this spring am cutting way down on the amount and it is still just as effective if not more so.

Chef, for oils, I order from Lebermuth.
They are great to deal with. I also order in gallon cans. much cheaper and I can help out other beeks in my area
Sub Thyme oil for the Wintergreen. I don't have the link. But most have gone away from the Wintergreen. Do an advance search on poster BEES4U. He has some post on that.
Here is a link for hbh or EO's. I use the last formula Alpha post. That is basicly the same formula I have been using. My bees love it!!
If you will place your Letchin in a small amout of water for a few hours. It will be desolved in that water. Then just add it when ready.

The modes of action are different. Vaporizeing thyme oil or crystals to desicate the mites is very effective but the chemical compounds in it do not do the same thing when used in feed. Do your research on this

by Mark Hardesty, D.V.M.
The author is a partner in Maria Stein Animal Clinic, Maria Stein, Ohio.
Grandma Hardesty gave us the pennies from her purse. We dutifully divided them equally, even with the cousins not present, and saved them in our piggy banks.
A few times a year, our banks were heavy enough that we counted out 50 pennies to put in the red paper rolls from the bank. It was a big event when we went to the bank, deposited our stash, and got a notation in our passbook showing the amount of our total savings. It was a really big deal when we surpassed the $100 mark.
Grandpa Ramga was a busy livestock and grain farmer who milked a few cows. He had a get-it-done attitude that resulted in a lot of land to farm and a cost-effective approach. With 12 children to help with the farm work, and to find a way to feed and manage them, the Ramga farm required uncommon sense to keep functioning.
Observe, then decide
One long-standing lesson that Grandpa taught me was a discussion about a month after he'd traded his smaller green tractor for a pink tractor (colors changed to protect the sensitive), the same size as his big green tractor. The pink tractor was $1,000 cheaper than another big green tractor, and his neighbor just raved about the pink tractor's power.
Grandpa's neighbor never did something that came naturally to Grandpa; evaluate his decisions and make adjustments. Grandpa had identical plows to pull behind the pink tractor and the big green tractor, and they plowed in the same field all day. The fuel used was 50 percent more for the pink tractor, and the ride was rough like one of our red tractors that Dad called "The liver beater."
The pink tractor never spent the winter in a Ramga shed as it was traded in quickly. Lesson one: evaluate your decisions. Lesson two: make corrections quickly.
Economic conditions on dairies have us discussing and evaluating constantly. Some of the discussion occurs over the backs of cows, but it also migrates to the office with records, spreadsheets and calculators creating numbers we can't ignore.
A lesson that would fit with Grandpa's is, "We have been successful running our dairies, and adjustments may not be huge." For every dime we spend we may get 15 cents back in good times, but we should still do them if we get back 12 cents now. That's how we'll fill two red paper rolls to make a dollar.
We may have some waste, and we need to find it. We certainly have opportunities, and we need to find them, too.
Vets look for your benefits
One of the discussions that I take head-on as a veterinarian is how cost effective our services are to the dairy. Veterinary services are a very small input to a dairy, but Mom always complained about it because you get an itemized bill.
It wasn't like the cost to milk a cow, which included the daily cost of the parlor itself per cow, electricity, repairs, supplies like towels and teat dip and, of course, labor, which was low for Mom because we didn't get paid very well.
We have a challenge with the very first item - the parlor. How long is the parlor going to last, and how many cows will it milk? If we do a good job of enterprise accounting, we may realize that the cost to milk our cows is higher than we think. If we don't have good accounting records, we tend to pick on expenses that are distinct in their descriptions like the vet bill.
Jan and I have a great relationship, but he still makes me justify my existence. "When I add the trip charges, you cost 10 times as much as having Julie do the preg checks. Why should I hire you?"
Jan's pointed questions came at me one hot July afternoon as the sweat was pouring off me, and I might have been reconsidering my chosen profession. My reply was, "Julie is a great herdsperson for you, and she is comfortable finding open cows down to 35 days." I can check accurately down to 28 days, saving a week as most ovsynch and resynch cows started on herd check day will present at Day 32 an ideal day to restart the cycle.
You present about 65 cows a week for first pregnancy exam with about 25 open. If we are very conservative with our cost of a day open at $3 - as feed costs soar, this may be closer to $5 - we really need to make reproduction hum. A day open charge of $3 times seven days times 25 cows is $441. That is about what the whole herd check charge is, and I also do the rechecks in that time.
Wonderful and inexpensive as Julie is, she becomes a pink tractor on the dairy, costing more than the alternative. Some of the same issues exist with drawing the blood pregnancy test because the results are not immediate like an examination. But it is even more of a pink tractor because it costs as much as an exam does, and the only difference is the trip charge.
Not all charges are costs
The trip charge is pretty quickly balanced if you allow your veterinarian to be an advisor on the dairy. One example of this occurred on a large dairy that has an employee check pregnancies. Reproduction results were disappointing, and they invited me to their herd check to check the checker.
I followed him for awhile, then we started alternating. We discovered that the first breeding cows had poor quality CLs (corpus luteums), and I suggested modifying the breeding program for first service. Three months later, we checked the results finding that first-service conception rate had improved by 8 percent.
This resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars more income for the dairy. If there had been no improvement, it would have cost the dairy $30,000 in the course of a year.
We have to evaluate the decisions we make, or we may be buying pink tractors and happily losing money without knowing it. Pennies make dollars, and this will be another one of those years that every dollar counts. What makes you money? Do you know for sure?

I think that Speed Sights are a gimmick.
In real-life terms, they probably will not make a useful difference to your shooting.
Not only that, but I bet that they will slow your shooting down. "Speed Sights," indeed!
In self-defense shooting, you do not have time to line up little teeny diamonds, all in a row, before firing a life-saving shot.
Self-defense shooting depends more upon quick, crude sight pictures.
Lots of self-defense shots are taken with only the silhouette of the rear of the pistol as a reference.
Those Speed Sights might be of some help, if you were practicing for NRA-style, 25- and 50-yard target shooting.
But I believe that you will find them an impediment in save-your-life shooting.
A wise man once said, "No magic gimmick or miracle-of-the-week will ever absolve you from the need to practice continually, to build and to maintain your shooting skills."

To the Editors:
In the May–June Computing Science column "Crinkly Curves" by Brian Hayes, I found the concept of constructing a curve that fills a space interesting in that the link between points on the space-filling curve and the points on a line is not easily recognizable and seems to be counterintuitive.
For the Hilbert curve, the basic unit is a square grid of four smaller squares. Since these units are to be sequenced to make larger collections of squares, it seems that the Hilbert curve should enter a unit on one side and leave it on another. Thus, the unit square for the Hilbert curve should have a line entering the bottom side of the bottom left square, proceeding through the centers of the four squares of the unit and exiting out the right side of the bottom right square. The basic unit, after rotation or reflection, could be tiled to form larger sequences, and there would be no need to add the connecting lines between the sequenced units. The physical size of a sequence would have to decrease as the number of sequences increases so that each sequence would fit into a unit square.
But actually, we can start with two smaller squares: one with a line passing straight through the center, entering and exiting on opposite sides; and another with a line making a turn at the center, entering and exiting on adjacent sides. The curves in these two squares could be assigned a direction; and then the squares could be rotated, reflected and finally sequenced to form the basic four-unit square for the starting Hilbert curve.
Ronald Csuha

Brian Hayes responds:
Dr. Csuha is correct that the lines linking subunits of the Hilbert curve can be eliminated, but only in the limiting case where the number of subunits becomes infinite and their size goes to zero. In that circumstance, the connecting lines have zero length, and every point of the curve is the vertex of a right angle. As I said in the column, the curve becomes "all elbows."
Let me take this opportunity to correct an error in the column pointed out to me by Doug Robertson of the University of Colorado. I wrote that the Hilbert Curve "is not a fractal because its dimension is not a fraction." But the defining property of a fractal is not that the dimension be a noninteger. A fractal is an object whose "fractal dimension" exceeds its "topological dimension." The Hilbert curve has a fractal dimension of 2, because it fills an area of the plane; the curve's topological dimension is 1, because it is a line segment.

Tesla Motors Approved for $465 Million Loan from US Department of Energy

Tesla's Model S
The Tesla Roadster
Uncle Sam stands a better chance of getting its money back from Tesla than from GM or Chrysler
Tesla Motors has received approval from the United States Department of Energy for up to $465 million in low-interest loans. The electric car manufacturer had faced significant financing difficulties due to the global credit crunch and resulting recession, despite having an order backlog of over 1,500 vehicles. This forced a
delay in the acquisition
of a Californian production facility and the subsequent plans for
several models
The loans are part of the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program, which provides incentives to new and established automakers to build more fuel-efficient vehicles, including hybrid and electric vehicles. The ATVMP was created in 2007 and appropriated funding in September 2008. The $25 billion program is supposed to reduce America's dangerous dependence on foreign oil and create "green collar" jobs.
The program is not related to any economic stimulus package or bailout funding that General Motors and Chrysler have received.
"Tesla will use the ATVM loan precisely the way that Congress intended -- as the capital needed to build sustainable transport," said Tesla CEO and Product Architect Elon Musk. "We are honored that the US government selected Tesla to be among the first companies to participate in this progressive program."
Tesla Motors plans to draw $365 million for production engineering and assembly of the Model S, an all-electric family sports sedan that carries up to seven people and travels up to 300 miles per charge. The company expects to start production of the Model S in late 2011 in a new assembly plant employing approximately 1,000 workers.
Tesla will use the remaining $100 million for a powertrain manufacturing plant that will supply all-electric powertrain solutions to other automakers, greatly accelerating the availability of mass market electric vehicles. The new factory is expected to employ about 650 people in California. Tesla is currently in the final stages of negotiation for both facilities.
The firm recently signed a
deal with Daimler
, which will provide engineering and financial support in exchange for a ten percent equity stake. Daimler will use Tesla's powertrains in its second generation electric Smart cars starting in 2012.
Tesla remains privately owned, with several hundred million dollars in funding coming from Elon Musk (former President of Paypal) and several venture capital funds. Google co-founders Sergey Brin & Larry Page are significant investors, as is former eBay President Jeff Skoll.
The company plans to reach a
breakeven point
by the end of this year, as it increases sales by
opening half a dozen new stores
throughout North America and Europe. Its new London store will open on June 25.
If all goes well with production and sales of Model S vehicles, Tesla intends to produce an affordable third model, codenamed BlueStar. This electric vehicle for the masses is targeted to cost around $30,000, with development being funded by profits from the Model S sedan.
"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Excerpt: "The Giants returned to work today after their bye week ready to begin a difficult final six-game stretch of their season. Coming off back-to-back losses hasn't affected the confidence of the defending Super Bowl champions, defensive captain Justin Tuck said.
"I think everybody on this team feels that we can be the best team in the league when were playing our style of football," Tuck said. "Its just unfortunate that we havent played our style of football the last couple of weeks. We have to find a way to get back to playing that, because its going to be needed leading up to these next weeks."
The Giants play the Packers this week, the start of a difficult final slate that includes the Redskins, Saints, Falcons, Ravens and Eagles.
The Giants are 6-4 and still atop the NFC East, though the Cowboys closed the gap to one game with a win against the Browns yesterday. After rattling off four straight wins, the Giants dropped consecutive games against the Steelers and the Browns, but Tuck disagreed that the team lost confidence.
"Not confidence, just maybe a little focus. We lost a little focus," he said, adding: "I think weve always been very confident. Sometimes maybe too confident; borderline ****y a little bit. But our confidence will never be -- I dont think it will ever waver on this team." Read more...

We stayed at Casa Falesia Suite for 5 nights in June and can only say: we were absolutely happy and excited!!! Its a real dream, nice and clean with a big terrace and a lovely pool in the backyard garden. Although the house is only a 5 min walk down to the village centre,it is a very quiet place and we could really relax, sunbathe, swim and watch the seagulls with their youngs on the opposite roof. From the terrace or even from the big bed we could have a beautiful seaview!!!We enjoyed our time there very much and we are so impressed about the hospitality and the friendlyness of the whole family. Breakfast was so delicious and every day different, from baguettes to omelette, including a fresh orange juice and fruits - excellent! One day our family organised an absolutely tasty barbecue with salad, guacamole, bread and a lot more, wow. :-) So its more than worth the price!!!
We felt really at home and part of the family and we are looking forward to come back once again in the future. Everybody was sad, when it was time to say goodbye... So we can 100% recommend the place.

We really enjoyed our 2 weeks stay, we felt quite at home.
The whole family was very welcoming and did anything to make us feel at home. Comfortable room and great breakfast on the porch with beautiful view on the swimming pool and the ocean. On request Teresa prepares great dinner.
Only 5 minutes walk from the city center and still a lovely peaceful place.
Fantastic beaches on short walking distances and great starting point for longer walks in the area.
Thank you so much, muito obrigado, Teresa, Joe and your children.
You gave us a great time to remember and if possible we would love to come back.
Kindest regards,
Marjon and Claude from Holland
We were absolutely happy for staying at your beautiful and cleanly Casa Falesia with a wonderful, lovely and fantastic family. THANK YOU very much for everything, especially for the homemade honey :)), the delicious breakfast, the opportunity to drink our first coffee each morning with the best view on sea....
Hope to see you soon again!
Kind regards an the best wishes for you all!
Doro and Susan
Really nice place in beautifull town- really close to main Carvoeiro beach and plenty of restaurants. Room is clean so as bathroom (which is assigned for two rooms). Hard to say much more- we have spent most of the time on local attractions.
We ( my wife and I, 58 yr) had a very comfortable stay at Casa Falesia. We were lucky that there were no other guests, so we had the bathroom for ourselves. The room at the oceanside is the most beautiful one. It has its own bathroom, oceanview, and a terras.Advice: ask for thatone. It makes a difference between three and five stars.The host makes you feel very welcome. The breakfasts are homecooked and a treat. Every day a new experience. If you are into yoga, you have a friend in Joe. have a nice holiday, Berry

How would lives and landscapes change if every car had a computer in the driver's seat?
Brian Hayes
There's one prediction about driverless cars that I can make with confidence: If millions of them ever roam the public highways, they will be far safer than cars driven by people. My confidence in this assertion does not derive from mere faith in technology. It's just that if robotic drivers were as dangerous as human ones, then computer-controlled cars would never be allowed on the roads. We hold our machines to a higher standard than ourselves.
Over the past decade, the number of auto accidents in the United States—counting only those serious enough to be reported to the police—has been running at about six million a year. Those accidents kill about 40,000 people and injure well over two million more. Estimates of the economic impact are in the neighborhood of $200 billion. Much of that cost is shared among car owners through premiums for auto insurance.
This safety record certainly leaves ample room for improvement. An appropriate goal for automated vehicles might be to reduce highway carnage to the same order of magnitude experienced in other modes of transport, such as railroads and commercial aviation. That would mean bringing road fatalities down to roughly 1 percent of their current level—from 40,000 deaths per year to 400. (In terms of deaths per passenger mile, cars would then be the safest of all vehicles.)
Could automation achieve such a hundredfold improvement? Taking the controls out of human hands would eliminate several major causes of crashes: drivers who are asleep, inebriated, impatient, inattentive, overconfident, inexperienced. Unfortunately, computer drivers have foibles of their own; at the moment, they cannot even equal human performance, much less surpass it. I believe these failings can be overcome (and I'll explain how below). But for now let's just make the assumption that car travel can indeed be made safe, and examine the consequences.
Among young people in the United States, auto accidents are the leading cause of death; between ages 15 and 24, a third of all deaths happen on the road. For this age group, then, safer cars would have a noticeable demographic impact. The financial impact would also be significant—saving $200 billion a year in accident losses, shutting down a $200 billion industry that repairs smashed cars and bodies.
If accidents become rare enough, one would expect to see changes in attitudes and behavior, and perhaps in the design of vehicles. Current custom insists that we always buckle our shoulder harness and strap down the children in the back seat, as if every trip to the grocery store might end with a wreck—as indeed it might. No such precautions are taken on trains, subways, trolleys and buses. As accident rates fall, perhaps we would relax our vigilance in the car as well. And if the driver gradually becomes just another passenger, the interior of the automobile could look less like a padded cell or an airplane cockpit and more like an office, a theater, a café or even a bedroom.
A 99-percent improvement in safety will still leave tens of thousands of auto accidents every year, which may require new legal and financial mechanisms for compensating victims. Most collisions today are attributed to driver error rather than a defect or malfunction in the vehicle. When the vehicle is the driver, this distinction is no longer meaningful. Car manufacturers might be held liable for a larger share of the accidents—a responsibility they are certain to resist. (A legal analysis by Nidhi Kalra and her colleagues at the RAND Corporation suggests this problem is not insuperable.)
The kinds of accidents caused by car-driving computers might be quite different from common human goofs. Of special concern is the possibility of a design flaw in hardware or software that could affect many cars the same way. It's easy to imagine a scenario in which one car after another follows exactly the same trajectory off a cliff.
Another essential point is that safety has to be balanced against reliability and robustness. Accidents can be reduced to near zero by adopting sufficiently conservative rules of operation. But nobody wants a car that pulls off the road and shuts down when the first snowflake falls.

There are few areas where Connecticut's standards lag behind McDonald's, but animal welfare is one of them.
Last year, McDonald's announced that it will stop buying pork from suppliers that use gestation crates, 2-by-7-foot steel cages that confine female pigs for their pregnancies.
But in Connecticut, gestation crates -- and veal crates, which confine dairy calves in similarly claustrophobic conditions -- remain legal, protected by a loophole in our state's animal cruelty laws for "generally accepted agricultural practices."
This week, Connecticut legislators can close that loophole. House Bill 5838, introduced by seven state representatives, including Rep. Kim Rose of Milford, would ban the use of gestation crates and veal crates in Connecticut.
The bill -- now before the House Environment Committee -- needs to be raised by today to allow a public hearing on the issue this legislative term. Connecticut legislators should give the bill a quick and positive vote.
Pigs are smart, social animals, capable of loving and feeling pain, just like the dogs and cats we keep in our homes. In one experiment, scientists taught pigs to play video games -- on YouTube you can watch a video of the pigs moving joysticks with their mouths. Given the chance, mother pigs will raise their piglets in large communal nests, dug into the earth and lined with branches.
But on pork factory farms, mother pigs are forcibly impregnated and then confined for four months to a crate so tight they can't even turn around. They're then moved to farrowing crates to give birth, re-impregnated, and returned to gestation crates -- a cycle that repeats their whole lives.
A friend who went undercover at one such farm recounted seeing the pigs' joy when they were released from their crates, only to witness their terror when they realized they were merely being moved to another crate to give birth.
HB 5838 is a common sense solution to that cruelty. It simply requires that mother pigs and veal calves have enough space to stand up, lie down, turn around and extend their limbs. The Humane Society of the United States has endorsed the bill, as have numerous veterinarians.
Even the pork industry's own animal welfare consultant, Temple Grandin, says the crates have "got to go." Grandin notes the pig's experience is "like being stuffed into the middle seat of a jam-packed jumbo jet for your whole adult life."
Nine states have already passed similar laws -- including neighboring Rhode Island last year. The entire European Union, all 27 nations, has enacted a similar ban.
Major food corporations, including Costco and Burger King, have said they'll no longer buy pork produced using gestation crates. Even Smithfield Foods, the nation's largest pork producer, has announced plans to phase out the crates.
HB 5838 should be an easy sell.
But agribusiness has hired a lobbying firm to stalk the hallways of Hartford, warning legislators of a slippery slope toward greater regulation if they ban the crates.
Of course, HB 5838 is not that broad: it only offers a small mercy to pigs and calves. But legislators could do worse than unleashing a slippery slope of compassion -- Connecticut's animals need more protections, not fewer.
Opponents of the bill also note that Connecticut has few gestation crate or veal crate facilities. But that's no reason to wait for them to arrive before we legislate. Cockfighting is mercifully rare in Connecticut too, but that hasn't stopped the legislature from banning the cruel sport, both to stop opportunistic cock fighters moving here and to signal our state's opposition to animal cruelty.
Connecticut has a proud history of championing animal protection legislation. Our state passed one of the nation's first animal cruelty laws in 1854.
Today, our congressional delegation is a staunch advocate for animal protection in Washington, D.C. -- Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Joe Lieberman both earned top scores on the Humane Society Legislative Fund's scorecard in the last session.
It's time for our state legislators to rise above agribusiness lobbying and pursue that proud tradition. Pigs and veal calves deserve better than constant confinement. And HB 5838 deserves a positive vote this term.
