Adam McQuaid ready to stick in the Bruins' lineup for goodTuesday, November 30th, 2010
WILMINGTON — Adam McQuaid has gotten plenty of attention this season, but each time he's been in the spotlight, it seems it's been because of another player. That's generally the life of a healthy scratch, but it's a life McQuaid no longer leads.
When Johnny Boychuk's forearm ended up being fractured following a slash he took from Brandon Dubinsky on Oct. 23 against the Rangers, McQuaid, who had spent the first six games of the season in a suit, got the call. He's received attention lately for post-practice battle drills with Marc Savard, something the team hopes will get the center ready for the physical aspect of the game. Now, the questions about McQuaid regard how he can step in and replace Matt Hunwick, who the team traded to Colorado on Monday in a team to clear cap space.
"It's an opportunity. I'm not going to try and change too much," McQuaid. "I'm obviously not going to step in and replace what [Hunwick] did. I'll just play my own game, and hopefully secure a spot."
Indeed, McQuaid will not replace what Hunwick brought to the table, as speed and puck-moving are not McQuaid's forte. Instead, McQuaid's safe and bruising style (and right-handed shot) will have to suffice. The "secure a spot" talk doesn't really apply to McQuaid right away at least, as the move to send Hunwick out was also a vote of confidence for McQuaid from the Bruins. This isn't a quick fix or a temporary replacement while a guy is hurt — McQuaid is now part of the six, something he hasn't been able to say without somebody being injured.
"It can be mentally tough when you're in and out of the lineup, and from game to game not sure if you're going to play," McQuaid said. "I think if anything, it's made me mentally tougher. Being here all year and practicing, it gives me the opportunity to be up here at this level."
In 10 games this season, McQuaid has an assist and an even rating to go along with 21 penalty minutes. His teammates know that there's some give and take involved with swapping McQuaid in for Hunwick, but they're excited to see what he can do with a job that is definitely his own.
"It gives us another right-handed shot. Hunwick's a good skater, and it gives an opportunity for Adam to step in and do a good job," Boychuk said.
McQuaid played in 19 games last year, registering one goal and 21 penalty minutes before adding six more penalty minutes in nine playoff games. A lower-body injury forced him out of Game 3 against the Flyers and kept him out for the rest of the playoffs.
Judging on what he's seen from McQuaid since his NHL debut last season, Claude Julien has seen improvement in some areas, but none more than in the 24-year-old's confidence.
"He was basically playing very safe last year. He didn't want to make mistakes, and I think this year, he's got more confidence," Julien said. "That confidence is coming from a little bit more experience. That's probably what's changed the most about his game."
McQuaid will play his 11th game of the season when the Bruins take on the Flyers in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

|Still 0 losses from this group (after 3 days). This is a good batch of Cardinals ... if you need some, I suggest you pick them up here.
|John P.
|Thanks for the idea re: The Zoo. Aliso is very close by.
I've had really good luck with my fish from there. Yea they are expensive, and their store is not that big...but they are very helpful and I feel a lot better spending money supporting these folks then the folks that run some of the other fishstores in OC.
On a side note there is this fishstore that I used to go to called "the zoo" in Aliso Viejo and they used to have the most awesome cardinals I had ever seen. They would actually throw the hundreds they got into a tank with a young arrowana to cull the sickly ones. I haven't been there for a couple years and don't know what they are like now.

LFS--New Wave Tropical Fish in Orange (SoCal--Orange County)
In my opinion ...
As you may have read elsewhere on the forum, I have had trouble with large, immediate losses of fish purchased at 2 of the LFSs (4/13 Cardinals & 3/15 Harlequin Rasboras survived). In both cases I lost fish over the 1st night and during the subsequent week or two. I think the problem stemmed from 1) the fact that the fish were new arrivals to the LFS, and 2) they were afflicted by pre-existing ailments. For the record, my water tests just fine--I also keep Otos and Cherry Shrimp without these losses.
Anyhow, I contacted New Wave Tropical Fish earlier in the week to see if they had Cardinals. They did, and allegedly have had them over the course of 1.5 weeks with minimal losses. I visited New Wave yesterday:
(Courtesy of my PalmOne Treo 600)
Seems they received about 800 (yes, 800!) Cardinals in their last shipment. They are all under an inch, but not much smaller like those I've seen elsewhere. They've spread them out into 5 or 6 different tanks, with no decedents in any of them. Coloring is great. I asked them to feed them in front of me, and they had a ravenous appetite--when they were done they had bulging bellies. According to them, they've had only 10 losses from this batch.
I asked for 10 of them, and the kind lady gave me 12. For $15. Most notably, all survived the night and appear to be well.
Re: New Wave Tropical Fish:
-the owners (I believe husband & wife) were very courteous and helpful
-a decent selection of dry goods for a smaller LFS
-some plants (no "exotics," though)
-overall fish health was good (no floaters)
-this LFS actually uses RO water and calibrates the water accordingly
-what seem to be, so far, VERY healthy Cardinal Tetras
-livestock selection somewhat limited by small store size
-some fish were priced higher than Petown--but if they are healthy then it's worth it
All in all, I would recommend giving these guys a visit if you're in the market for some red & blue characins!

text: NEA Foundation supports new K-12 service-learning curriculum Through Greg Mortenson's best-selling Three Cups of Tea and the author's Pennies for Peace organization, thousands of educators are inspiring young people nationwide to raise money to build schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The NEA Foundation announced today that educators hoping to join this movement can download a free K-12 service-learning toolkit designed to help them create effective penny-raising campaigns as part of their schools' curriculum. The Pennies for Peace Toolkit was collaboratively produced by Pennies for Peace and the Pearson Foundation with support from the NEA Foundation and can be found at www.penniesforpeace.org. It provides a standards-aligned, service learning curriculum for all grade levels, including classroom activities, fact sheets, maps provided by National Geographic, and videos about life and culture in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The toolkit supplies campaign tools that teachers and students can use to engage their local communities, including letter templates to civic leaders, press release templates, stickers, and flyers. Three Cups of Tea tells the story of Mortenson's 1993 attempt to climb the second highest mountain in the world, K2, in honor of his younger sister, who had recently died. When a member of the group got sick, they turned around, and he got lost in the mountains of Pakistan. He wandered into a poor village, where the chief and his people cared for him. Inspired by their kindness, Mortenson promised to return and build a school. Since then, Mortenson founded an organization that has used student contributions to establish nearly 100 schools in rural and often volatile areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, providing education to more than 28,000 children, including 18,000 girls, where few education opportunities existed before. "Education coupled with compassion can move mountains," said Mortenson. "We want our students to understand the issues facing the world, to know that they have the capacity to affect change, and we want them to guide their leaders to share one penny per dollar globally, because the greatest legacy we can give our students is a legacy of peace." The toolkit is an extension of the new Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Journey to Change the World...One Child at a Time, a young readers edition of this remarkable story published by Puffin, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers Group.

The Chicken Man is maintaining his performance on The X Factor was genuine, saying he just wanted to make people laugh.
Mitchell Wahl, self-dubbed "Chicky Mitchy" gave an unusual rendition of an Elvis song which saw #chickenman trend on Twitter.
In the introduction to his audition, Mr Wahl, of Kerikeri but originally from the United States, said he had about 50 chickens but that his favourite three were Fifty Fifty, Phoebe and Clucky, who sit on his shoulders when he plays the piano.
He started posting videos of the hens doing this on his blog in September.
Mr Wahl told The Edge radio station's morning show that he was genuine and not a paid actor.
At his audition in Kerikeri, Mr Wahl sung with Phoebe the hen on his shoulder and Mr Wahl said the producers couldn't stop laughing.
"I felt really good about that audition. My uncle was outside of that room and people were saying, 'I don't believe it' and my uncle was saying, 'Well the neighbours can't believe it either'."
Mr Wahl told the radio station that if no one had laughed at his audition on Sunday night, it would have been a failure.
"My goal was to really make people laugh ... I still think I can sing, but I think I can sing to entertain and make people laugh."
Judge Melanie Blatt said as far as she knew, he was legitimate.
"And his chickens too, but such is life."

For some time now, proponents of the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" have claimed there was little or no evidence of real risk to groundwater. But as the classic saying goes: "the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" of a problem. And the evidence that fracking can contaminate groundwater and drinking…

One of the biggest stars on Tuesday was Michigan defensive
tackle Mike Martin. He abused Ohio State center Mike Brewster on
multiple reps. He had a few wins on bull rushes and got one win after he
rocked Brewster onto his heels before jetting by the center. It was an
impressive day from Martin and a disappointing day for Brewster. There
was a win for Brewster when he rode Ta'amu around the middle of the
pocket on a bull rush.I've been saying that Martin is a guy to keep an eye on. He had a down year, but I love the way he plays. Kinda reminds me of a white Suh. What he may lack in technique, he more than makes up for with power, explosion, and hustle.An entertaining portion of Tuesday's practice was a brief fight between
Mike Brewster and Mike Martin. Martin beat Brewster twice (was held
once), which angered the declining Ohio State center. Martin is really
helping himself with a strong week. I'll be shocked if he doesn't make
it into the top three rounds of my 2012 NFL Mock Draft, which will be updated tonight.

Non-Exempt Staff (Salaried and Hourly)
Through the State of Delaware and Hartford Insurance Company eligible participants in the State Employee's Pension Plan are provided income protection during periods of short-term or long-term disability.
If illness, pregnancy, or injury of a temporary nature causes absence from work for more than 30 days, eligible employees may apply for benefits directly with the Hartford. If approved employees may receive 75% of their base salary for up to 182 days under the short term disability insurance plan (this includes the waiting period). Employees disabled for more than 182 days may further apply for long term disability benefits with the Hartford. If approved employees may receive 60% of their base salary if they have selected the standard option or 66 2/3 % of their base salary if they have selected the high option.
There is no cost to the employee for the standard option ($8,000 maximum monthly benefit as of July 1, 2007). Employees may choose the high option and pay the difference between the University's contribution for the standard option and the cost of the high option. An option can be changed only during the flexible benefits enrollment period or if the employee has a qualifying life event as defined in the Flexible Benefits Book.
Individuals should advise their supervisors if unable to work due to illness, pregnancy, or injury and provide medical certification of their disabling condition. The Employee should contact the Hartford at 1-866-945-7781 to initiate their claim.

Re: st: interprating orthogonal polynomial regression

Re: st: interprating orthogonal polynomial regression
Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:24:45 -0400
I would add that cubic polynomials sometimes fit poorly at the extremes. Have you checked the fit of the data? Have you plotted the residuals vs time? I would do so before putting much faith in the interpretation of a cubic effect. I suggest instead fractional polynomials or cubic splines, e.g. -fracpoly- , -mvrs- ("findit mvrs"), or NJC's -rcspline- (ssc), among others. Also, if you are concerned about age-period-cohort effects, then try -apc- (from ssc).

Thanks, Maarten. This is very helpful. I have additional question on the
age-period-cohort effects.
The study that i am working on interviewed the same individuals at five
waves(wave is my time variable) over 8 years. So the cohorts(subjects)
the same through the five interviews. I fitted a random intercept model
and i believe that the cohort effects(between-subject effects) should be
captured by the variance of the random intercept.
I included the three orthogonal polynomials of age(continuous variable)
and the three orthogonal polynomials of time as fixed effects in the
level random intercept model and found the six fixed coefficients are
significant. This means that age is not the only factor that
contribute to
the cubic trend of Y.
Then what i should do to possibly explain why y(mental health service
access) has a cubic trend. No much theory as I am aware of talks about
curvilinear trend of Y.
Thanks a lot for any advice.

I conclude that y has a cubic trend. The interpretation is
that as time increases, the probability of y first decrease.
With a further increase in time y appeared to increase. Then
at about 51 months(based on the graph of the sample mean of
y), y decreases again.
What else should i interpret about the cubic trend? Do I
have to calculate the time points when the sings change?
It is your argument, so you decide what you think is
confincing or illuminating evidence and what is not. We
can only make suggestions. Finding these points can be sorta
nice, but they should not be taken too literaly, as they
are to a large extend influenced by the functional form you
If so, i probably need to transform the coefficients of
orthogonal polynomials into coefficients for the original
time scale. I do not know how stata does this transform
after fitting a -mim:gllamm- model.

Personaly, I like linear splines better, as they often provide
a better balance between allowing for non-linear effects and
giving directly interpretable coefficients. See -help mkspline-.
Then I need to think about why y has a cubic trend. One
possible explanation is age. With the increase in time, the
age of participants increase as well. The cubic trend may
because different age intervals have different trends.
Assuming that participants aren't all born in the same year,
you can add time and age, or time and year of birth, or age
and year of birth, but not all three, as time - age = year of
There is a large literature on still trying to estimate
these "age-period-cohort effects" which basically consists of
proposing different constraints on one or more of these
variables. Assuming that this constraint is true you can
estimate all three, but you cannot test whether the constraint
is true, so...
Does this mean i need to use age as the time variable
There is only one person who can decide that, and that is you.

Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to everyone.
I have been a hobby BK since I was a little boy, I'm now 39. My mentor was my next door neighbor that took up BKing when he retired and I would tag along with him everywhere in the summers.
I did my time in the USMC and eventually moved back eight years later to see all my hive equipment lying around, so I decided to take my hobby back up.
I have 3 hive all from my original feral swarm that found its way to my empty set up hive one year. I have a bee tree in our timber and I suspect that is where they came from. I have not medicated my hive at all or harvested any honey. I just let them come and go as they please and I go out and check on them once a month.
I'm heading up to Dadant this week to pick up some deep boxes as my girls are getting a little cranky for lack of room and have the top deep brood chambers full of honey. My plan is to expand next spring by splitting my existing hives.
Once again hello and thanks for the great forum.

I'll admit I was very skeptical about this foundation. It looked like the consistency was a bit hard when I watched people apply it, and I didn't see how it could be both a concealer and foundation in one. I finally took the plunge and bought this and I am SO glad I did. First of all, I debated for days which color I should get. I'm light skinned with pink undertones but live in Texas, so even though I am religious about SPF, I do get a little darker in the summer. I decided to go with #2 because I knew I could return it if I absolutely had to, and to my surprise, it's the most perfect matching foundation I've ever used in my entire life. That alone was amazing enough, so I couldn't wait to apply it. I'm normally not a big fan of using my hands to apply foundation, but I knew it would work best with the consistency of this foundation. It is a tad bit tougher than liquid foundations since its in stick form, but once you apply it and start rubbing and/or tapping it in with your fingers, it basically melts into your skin and just looks and feels amazing. It not only feels wonderful, but also looks SO natural! It is definitely blendable, but it is not cakey looking at all. I didn't even look like I had face make up on! After applying the foundation, I just rubbed a little on my finger to use as concealer, and wouldn't you know it works amazing for that as well. This is also the only foundation I've ever used where I felt like I didn't need to apply it over my entire face, only the places that need it. I've been impressed by a ton of products that I've discovered through Birchbox, but this has got to be the best one yet. If you're even thinking about getting this foundation, just go for it! I wish I would have bought it a long time ago.5
I love the BB carries well people, because the flagship store is in my town, buuuuut i don't get points for shopping there. So i've been using the narcissist stick foundation for longer than it's been in the bb shop.
I've noticed that some people describe it as cakey and flakey. So i just wanted to preface this 5 star review with 2 things : 1) I apply the stick directly after moisturizer (like when my face is still dewy). 2) I do not wear foundation all over my face. I wear it on my nose, under my eyes, on my chin, and upper lip. Then I smooth out from there. I have never noticed it being flakey or cakey. I have SUPER fair neutral skin so I wear 0&2 in color, and then mix them if i need too (between winter and summer i flux between those two "extremes"). It travels well, its easy to swipe on. It holds all day. It matches and looks great. Plus it's all natural so my SUPER sensitive skin doesn't break out because of it.
I love the way it goes on you can increase coverage by applying more bit since I like to have a natural look a little for me is good. Makes my complexion more even and looks like I have a glow! Not drying at all and not greasy. Love love love that it's good for my face because it's all natural organic! I think It last long too. I am a light medium with yellow undertone and tan easily in sun. They had recommended #4 for me but it was too pink and a little too pale so I returned it for a #5 and perfect! Don't worry if it doesn't match you, birchbox customer service is so good you just return it they give you a refund and you can order another color!! :))5
My skin goes from dry/normal in the winter to combination in the summer, and this is great all year-round. I have some scarring from my past of cystic acne and I layer this to cover up the darker spots. I wear this with the altruist foundation powder on top and the two of them together stay in place all day.4

Tuesday evening brings some big news in the shape of new management in French giants Paris Saint-Germain. Sky Italia, who are the Italian version of Sky Sports, are claiming that PSG are set to announce that former England Manager Fabio Capello will become their new Manager on a 1-year deal. Even more astonishing is the fact that they are stating that Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger will take over from Capello in 2014 in a pre-agreement.
In the world of football, this news is big. 67-year-old Italian Capello is the current manager of the Russian National side and it has come with great shock that he is set to be confirmed as the PSG manager. The Russian FA are set to recieve around £2 million in compensation for the deal.
Allegedly the report goes on to state that current Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has signed an agreement to take over from Capello's temporary 1-year contract when it finishes in 2014, thus bringing us the most shocking part of this story. Wenger was thought to be busy re-building his Arsenal squad in order to compete for the Premier League title this season and the thought of him leaving is astounding.
Capello endured a controversial and inconsistent time as England Manager but has since had success with Russia.

I love this product. It is very good on grease, I even got my deepfryer clean with it. Top marks. I do wish that they would wrap their products in bubble wrap, as coming all the way to New Zealand, I have had alot of spilling with their products.
I like the Method dish foam.

I like this dish soap because it works very well (a little goes a long way) & it has a clean but pleasant scent. I'm simply not a fan of the ubiquitous lemon, apple fruit or chemical scented dish soaps. What would improve this product would be offering it as a refill. The pump bottle is quite robust & Method does offer dish soap refills in other "flavors", just not the Sea Minerals

Works well, no animal testing, natural ingredients, smells good. Like the pump mechanism. Only downside is it does not ship well. There was some spillage from the container, but fortunately iHerb had put bottle into plastic bag so spillage was contained.
The only dish soap that we use.

We had a pleasant stay at margret´s
she was nice and courteous
and the room was clean and comfortable
We thoroughly enjoyed our four nights with Margaret and her lovely dog Bella. She was very thoughtful and helped us learn our way around Glasgow and plan the continuation of our trip even though she wasn't feeling well. We are planning to stay with her again as we travel home. It's just like staying with family!
Very nice, traditional flat. Beautifull and clean room.
Maggie is very nice and halpfull. The best choice ;)
Very nice and familiar apartment, and the hostess was really helpful as friendly.
The apartment was in a area with good bus connections to the city center.
It was just amazing! Maggie is such a nice woman. The room as well as the whole apartment was really cute and clean. We are very thankful that we had such a great start in Glasgow. We can just highly recommend this apartment!
The room is nice, pretty big and very clean. Margaret is such a nice person! She gave me all the informations I needed and she's been kind to me all the time.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay in Glasgow and Maggie´s home. She is such a kind and helpful person and she has a very nice, little dog. Her flat is really beautiful, very clean and the room she provides is so cozy.
You can reach the city centre and west end within minutes by bus.
I am sure we will book again :)
It was a pleasure to stay at Margaret's home. I was very well treated and the house is beautiful. It definitely worths the money I paid for my stay.
The room was good. Kitchen and bathroom shared with Margaret, but that's no problem. Everything was clean and cozy. She has a little dog, but that was ok. All in all a very positive experience.

All good!
Great friendly service from Joe, came out the same day. Much appreciated
Very happy with the service Joe provided, picked up my car from work as arranged and had it back to me before I had finished, Good price for the service, Plus a 10% military discount.
Fantastically responsive, flexible and helpful. Highly recommended.
V good service Good communication Mechanics are v good and knowledgeable V helpful
Sonning Hill motors Team did a complete & thorough check for the problem with air-con and then serviced as well as refilled gas within the same price as quoted earlier. I would like to appreciate their appreciate & dedicated behavior in their approach in attending the customer. Thank you very much & look forward for any other motor issues.
A great service, polite staff. It was a pleasure to discover a business which cares not only for your vehicle but treat their customers so nicely. Keep it rolling and I will continue to recommend Sonning Hill Motor to all,
seems like a very good mechanic had my jaguar xf aux+timing belt water pump etc all done for a reasonable amount
Yes definitely. Courteous and friendly, I waited at the garage for brakes and disc's to be replaced, took about 45 minutes to complete. I would recommend this independent garage and certainly use their services again.
Excellant service
This garage is excellent they picked my car up and kept me informed of what they were doing. They changed my cam belt and done a full service and brought my car back 5 hours later they are terrific.
A friendly and thorough service and refuelling of the air conditioning, and inexpensive!
Initially took my Mini Cooper in for electrical fault diagnosis and also asked if they could check the tyres. All in all, 2 new tyres, a slow puncture and valve leak repaired on a third tyre, electrical fault diagnosis and a registration light replaced, picked up from my place of work, work done and delivered back within 5 hours. Very clear communication throughout the process, very impressed with the service and the price, and managed to fix previous issues that other garages had not been able to fix. Will be using for future servicing and MOTs. Thanks!
Really good & friendly customer service, Adnan kept me updated throughout the day, would recommend.
excellent service
Work done on time, provided with courtesy car and able to collect car out of hours, thanks.
There was some weird knocking from back of the car. They said that rear shocks need to be replaced and I agreed on the price although it seemed a bit overpriced but I wanted my car fixed. Guy from the garage came to my place of work and changed the shocks there. He didn't even bother to drive it to check if it's fixed. It wasn't. There were two types of the noise, and only one fixed. After I received the invoice there were no details what parts were put in the car. When asked, they only said Kayaba and that the price is below RRP (£100 per rear shock seems much overpriced as Google suggested; unfortunately no model name). I went back to the garage so they can find the cause of the noise but "there were a lot of puddles on the road so they can hear only water splashing". They didn't find anything that could cause that and I have to find another garage that can. They were nice and polite but I was left with a bitter taste.
Alex was excellent!
standard MOT - good reception & nice people to deal with
Worse garage out their, came to pick up car , charged me 350 for service and oil in diff, but did not solve or recognise the original issue, since not getting a refund I have paid for more diagnostics , gear mountings and been recognised as the problem, so if SA put my car on ramp to do work , then why was this not picked up ??? My advice steer clear of this garage at all cost complete rip off merchants
Great service and fantastic to get so much communication before and during the job. Highly recommended.
Great communication and quick service from start to finish - had MOT done - new cambelt, new water pump and new coolant bottle as my old one had cracked the day before. Very highly recommended and will be definitely use the garage for my servicing and MOT needs. Thanks team :-)
Garage explained my brakes and pads were good and didn't require changing. The part squeaking just needed greasing up.
didnt turn up when stated 3 hours later guy turned up. the guy that came out done a good job. sad thing is wasted my morning as i STAYED IN and lost income over it as I work for myself
yes, He is exceptional.
Brilliant service from this garage, highly recommended. Replaced oxygen sensor and MOT
Yes, very good job. No issues, will use MC again.
Very good service all done on time to agreed price. Vehicle collected and returned on time.
Great service, extremely accommodating, gave me a lot of his time for good, honest and detailed advice. Recommended all around.

Milk urea nitrogen values may have future applications in this area.
By Amanda Smith, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
For decades, high concentrate, low forage diets were a staple on dairy farms. As economics have shifted though, there has been a push to produce higher quality forage and maximize its inclusion in the diet. Regardless of your feeding strategy, cows that sort or slug feed are likely to experience significant rumen pH changes through the course of a day. These swings, in turn, can lead to subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA), a prevalent metabolic disorder found in high producing dairy herds.
Past studies on steers and sheep indicated that considerable variation exists in the severity of SARA among animals fed a common diet. In work shared at the Western Canadian Dairy Seminar held in early March, researchers form the University of Alberta, set out to evaluate the variation in severity of SARA among lactating cows fed a high-grain diet and determine the factors characterizing acidosis tolerant and susceptible animals.
Sixteen ruminally cannulated dairy cows were fed a 35 percent forage diet. Acidosis index, or the severity of SARA (pH below 5.8) divided by dry matter intake was determined for individual animals to assess the disease severity adjusted for feed consumption.
Although all cows were fed the same diet, minimum pH values ranged from 5.16 to 6.04. The acidosis index ranged from 0.0 to 10.9 pH*minutes/ kilos of DMI. Zero indicated no acidosis.
Six cows with the lowest index, averaging 0.04, and four with the highest index, averaging 7.67, were classified as acidosis tolerant and susceptible, respectively. Minimum and mean rumen pH values were higher for tolerant cows compared to susceptible cows.
They also observed that susceptible cows sorted against long particles whereas tolerant cows did not. Acidosis tolerant cows surprisingly had shorter total chewing time per kilogram of DMI (35.8 versus 45.1 minutes). In addition, although DMI, milk yield and milk components did not differ between the groups, milk urea nitrogen (MUN) concentration was higher for tolerant cows compared with susceptible cows (12.8 versus 8.6). This difference may have been attributed to less fermentation in the rumen of tolerant cows.
The researchers concluded that substantial variation exists in SARA severity among cows fed a high-grain diet. This lack of uniformity demonstrates the challenge in formulating a diet to optimize the productivity of the whole herd. Their work also indicated the potential to use MUN values, rather than milk fat content as an easy indictor to identify acidosis tolerant cows on farm.

Hey y'all,
Quick question here: I was wondering if I can use homemade hardwood-ash lye water for disinfection of frames. If so, can I just soak the frames in cool lye water, or do I have to boil them? Thanks in advance!
Hey y'all,
Quick question here: I was wondering if I can use homemade hardwood-ash lye water for disinfection of frames. If so, can I just soak the frames in cool lye water, or do I have to boil them? Thanks in advance!
Yes, yes you can. Boiling will get the old wax off of the frames.
Mark Berninghausen
If your intention is to clean the frames as best you can using lye, you should boil the frames in the lye water bath to get the best benefit from the lye.
Mark Berninghausen
Decades back, I made a tank and boiled several hundred or thousand ? frames in lye water when I bought out other beekeepers. It did a great job of cleaning them up. These frames had not been glued or nailed well, so I ended up with hundreds of very clean loosey goosey frames, most of which needed re-wiring and re-nailing. Never again, a much better value is doing a great job of assembling new frames, in much less time than you will spend cleaning crummy ones.
How long do you need to boil them for? I would be doing about 700-800 frames, basically the ones that are near new and very structurally sound.
I think I boiled old black ones for several minutes, I think. We are talking the 1980's here. If you can remember the '60s you probably weren't really there. And I went to high school in San Francisco in the late '60s, so there isn't much I remember after that. I do remember the lye fumes giving me a sore throat.
You might consider some kind larger scale of steam bucket.
You can probably buy 800 frames for $600. How much will your lye boiling setup and utilities cost?
Can you just soak you frames in 15% bleach solution? I am not sure of formulation-seeing that the bleach in Walmart is 10%. I lost bees to varroa collapse (mailed some frames for analysis). I am planning on washing frames that had brood and adding new foundation. Maybe it makes more sense to just buy new frames-not sure. linn
linn, varroa are not a problem having to do w/ equipment. Why are you washing frames that had brood in them?
Mark Berninghausen
Lye for sterilization will not Kill AFB
BEE HAPPY Jim
I lost a few hives to varroa virus complex this summer/fall. The suggestion was that I could re-use the frames that never had brood in them. I was told that the frames that had brood in them should be washed with a 15% bleach solution and new foundation put in. I was thinking that the bleach would kill any dormaint virus. linn
linn, I'll have to look that up, but I don't think that will work. I also think that the virus' source is the varroa themselves, not anything you would wash off of the comb.
Who told you about varroa virus complex?
Mark Berninghausen
Well, I mailed them off for analysis to Augusta Me. I should look back on the response. I remember that the frames were negative for anything major. Give me a few minutes and I can look it up. linn
Well I cannot find the email. 15% bleach solution must kill something as this was the expert advice given to me. linn
If the frames were negative I sure wouldn't wash them. The bees will do what cleaning needs doing.
Mark Berninghausen

Jackett praises striker's workrate
Kenny Jackett has highlighted Leon Clarke's overall contribution to the team and predicted the striker will start finding the net at regular intervals if he maintains his workrate.
Clarke has struck 19 goals so far this season, but only one since arriving at Wolves, although Jackett has been pleased with his general workrate and play and is confident those goals will come.
The Wolves Academy graduate led the line in Tuesday's goalless draw at Stevenage and was denied a goal by a fine Chris Day save in the second half.
Jackett said: "His header in the first half was probably the best chance of that period and then the keeper made a good save in the second.
"But he's working so hard and he's really battling for the team and we've needed that.
"We haven't got a player like him that can give us some hold-up play and some physical qualities.
"His work outside the box and his workrate has been excellent.
"The good thing is he's having chances – if he wasn't creating openings, I would worry.
"But, yes, I'm sure he'll be frustrated because he's been a regular goalscorer all his career and he will be again.
"His work outside the box to hold the play up and battle, scrap and close down was very good as it's been since he's been here.
"He got one at Swindon and he has had his chances but it just goes like that with forwards.
"What I want him to do is keep doing a job for the team and make sure that experienced centre forward play we needed to complement the other younger players we have in the forward positions is maintained.
"We'd have loved to have won on Tuesday night, but one point is better than none.
"In the position we're in, every point we get is another step, albeit a small one.
"So I want him to keep contributing to the team and making sure his hold-up play, his workrate and his closing down is there and then I'm sure the goals will come."
In Clarke and two younger strikers Nouha Dicko and Liam McAlinden Jackett believes he has good – and different – options to cause a threat over the season's final six games.
And it may be that Wolves will change their style with Bakary Sako having been sidelined with a foot injury and fellow winger James Henry picking up a groin problem at Stevenage.
"It's something we knew could happen at some stage, especially with Saturday's game being our ninth in 28 days, so it's a busy period for the whole division, not just us," said Jackett.
"We've had a very settled team and with Henry and Sako in the wide areas and perhaps Jacobs inside, they've been very good options.
"The dynamics of that changed on Tuesday, but looking at the second half where Dicko and McAlinden started wide, they were two new ones but it was still effective.
"We created a lot of chances and we'd have loved to have put some of those away.
"I can't criticise because they didn't fall away and we got stronger in the second half and had the better of it, so our attitude and commitment was there against a very resolute side battling for their lives at the bottom.
"We've had a terrific run and we've been playing fantastic football.
"You can see people targeting certain players in our side and working hard to stop us so it's up to us to make sure we came out the other side stronger."

"Four Lions" is a British comedy revolving around a group of inept jihadists.
Here's an example.
When wanna be terrorist Waj travels to Pakistan in order "train" at a terrorist training camp, he gets engaged in a heated argument over which direction to pray towards, vehemently insisting he knows the direction to face. The truth is, hailing from Britain, he's accustomed to facing east in order to pray towards Mecca. He misses the fact that, now that he's in Pakistan, Mecca is to the West.
As dimwitted as that is, it may actually be his least moronic moment in the movie.

Hi Suzanna,
Radost is fab - particularly if you want fresh (veggie) stuff. They do an amazing breakfast too, and if you're really lucky you'll get some random poetry readings : http://www.worldsbestbars.com/city/prag … prague.htm
I also remember really enjoying Architects' Club on Bethlehem Square.
(This time of year, the mulled wine stalls are so welcome too, a great way to keep warm!)
Have a fantastic time. Prague is one of my favourite places.

Re: Good places to eat in Prague
Great, thanks Kirsty. Just had a look at the Radost website and it looks promising! Can't wait now, have had confirmation that the BA strikes are off so i can actually get home after the weekend too. Brilliant.

Hi Suzanna
I hope you'll have a wonderful time in Prague. It's one of the most romantic cities in the world.
Like Kirsten I also enyoyed Archtitect's club (I think it's Klub Architektu in czech).
A friend of mine visited Kampa Park and she liked it very very much.

Re: Good places to eat in Prague
My food experiences in Prague were pretty poor so I can't really recommend anywhere. I had the worst Panacotta in a restaurant there - it had the consistency of a rubber ball!
However, it is a beautiful city and you should have a fabulous time...

Re: Good places to eat in Prague
Thanks everyone, I had the most amazing time - romantic city indeed
My dinner at Radost FX was delicious, and i also discovered a perfect coffee/lunch place called Globe (with pumpkin soup to die for and MEGA lattes). My ideas of Prague as a meat-driven, bland place to eat have been proven wronger than wrong. Can I go back please?

Re: Good places to eat in Prague
So pleased you tried Radost - it's such a refreshing menu given the usual fare on offer. What did you have? I remember big bowls of pasta or salads.
So it was romantic, eh
I got engaged there - did you see the tv tower thing that looks like a space rocket, just out of the centre? It's called the Prague Prick and Mr K proposed there, 4 Jan 2000. He planned to do it on millenium eve but the absinthe got in the way

- if you are also using a penicillin antibiotic such as amoxicillin (Amoxil, Augmentin, Dispermox, Moxatag), ampicillin (Principen, Unasyn), dicloxacillin (Dycill, Dynapen), oxacillin (Bactocill), or penicillin (Bicillin L-A, PC Pen VK, Pfizerpen).
If you are using minocycline to treat gonorrhea, your doctor may test you to make sure you do not also have syphilis, another sexually transmitted disease.
FDA pregnancy category D. Do not use minocycline if you are pregnant. It could harm the unborn baby or cause permanent tooth discoloration later in life. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment.
Minocycline can make birth control pills less effective. Ask your doctor about using a non hormone method of birth control (such as a condom, diaphragm, spermicide) to prevent pregnancy while using minocycline.
Minocycline passes into breast milk and may affect bone and tooth development in a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are taking minocycline.
Children should not use minocycline. Minocycline can cause permanent yellowing or graying of the teeth in children younger than 8 years old.

Take Minocin (pellet-filled capsules) on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow it whole. Breaking the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
Take this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Minocycline will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
To be sure this medicine is not causing harmful effects, your blood will need to be tested often. Your kidney, liver, or thyroid function may also need to be tested. Visit your doctor regularly.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using minocycline. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.

My plan is to hunker down until that option is no longer viable. I have preps for bugging out if need be.
Bugging Out vs. Hunkering Down
This article has been contributed by M.D. Creekmore of The Survivalist Blog.
The very idea of leaving the security of your home to bug out to the woods has never sat well with me In nearly every instance its better to hunker down or bug in than to bug out. I mean, why leave the safety and familiar surroundings of your home, for the open and unforgiving wilderness.
For many people this is their first line of preparation against disaster, unfortunately, most will end up joining the multitude of other refugees freezing in a cave and eventually end up dead or wards of whatever government is still functioning.
I live in a fairly safe area and have prepared to survive at home and can conceive of only a few scenarios that would force me to leave. Even then, I would go to an out-of-state relatives house with whom, I have a pre-arranged agreement, where if need be he can come to my place or I to his after a disaster.
I know what youre thinking what about an end of the world as we know it type event, well if such an event were to take place, there would be no 100% safe place for most of us, and really do you think you would be better of making a go of it in the open wilderness as opposed to hunkering down at home.
Dont get me wrong, Im not saying we should never bug out to the wilderness; we should indeed keep all our options open, what I am saying is that there are better ways to survive most disasters than heading into the bush.
You need to weigh the risks of bugging out vs. hunkering down and make your final decision based on logic and type of threat. Thats the way decisions should be made, unfortunately many people when making plans for survival side with emotion (that emotion being to run and hide) instead of the more tried and true form of decision-making known as logic.
Relying on emotion instead of logic can make for some interesting adventures; however without sound planning beforehand those adventures are likely to be sort lived. For example, I recently asked a fellow in his late 30s what he would do if disaster struck his area.
He thought for a moment and said he would gather his family and all the food, guns and ammunition he could find and head for the mountains that lay some seventy-five miles to the north of his home.
Depending on the type of disaster, his plan might work short term for a lone survivor or a small group of individuals in good physical condition with proper gear and mind-set. But he is a new father and his wife is one of those that think missing an appointment at the nail-salon is the end of the world as she knows it.
Making matters worse he has no outdoor survival training or skills other than watching reruns of Less Strouds Survivorman and camping at a national park campground with all the utilities and hookups. Why he thinks he can survive off the wilderness while dragging his family along, I dont know. He isnt thinking logically.
His decision was based on emotion and as a result if he ever has to put his plan to the test in the real world his family will likely suffer or die because of his decision and Red Dawn thinking. Unfortunately, this batman in the boondocks mentality is and will continue to be the chosen survival plan for many who havent thought it through.
When making survival plans for your family you have to honestly weigh the risks of your decision based on logic. In almost every disaster scenario, it is better to stay put (bugging in) or head to a pre-arranged safe place at an out-of-town relatives or friends house than it is to head to the woods to eat twigs and pine bark.
For most people an evacuation bag is a better choice than a bug out bag. An evacuation bag should contain the gear necessary to get you from point A to point B, whereas a bug out bag (in most cases) is geared more toward wilderness survival. I have both, but admittedly my bug out bag is an option of last resort.
Knowing when to go is much more important than the contents of your survival pack or even where you will go. You dont want to jump and run before you need too, but you dont want to wait too long or you may never reach your destination.
If you wait for the authorities to give the order to evacuate it may already be too late. The roads leading to safety could be blocked and impassable by motor vehicle and walking to your destination may be impossible or too dangerous to attempt.
On the other hand if you jump and run in response to every potential disaster youll soon deplete your resources and the patience of your family, school and employers.For example, say you live in an area prone to tornadoes like Texas and you evacuate to Arkansas every time the clouds turn dark or the wind shakes the leaves. You would literally stay on the road. But waiting until the twister is at your door will put you at an unnecessary risk.
There are no easy answers; all you can do is weigh the dangers of bugging out vs. hunkering down depending on the situation and logic. You have to consider the nature of the threat and ask yourself which gives the best chance of survival with regards to the type of disaster you are facing.
Then, there are times when evacuation is a no brainer, say you live on the Florida coast and a category 5 hurricane has been predicted to hit that coast within twenty-four hours, in that case you would be stupid not to go now, even if you have no prearranged bug out location
On the other hand lets say there is snow storm heading your way and you have food, water, heat and a way to cook even if the power goes out for an extended amount of time then you are probably better off to hunker down where you are.
In my opinion the bugging out vs. hunkering down debate is moot because it all comes down to the type of threat, your personal situation and preparedness level in the end youll have to make that decision based on that knowledge and common sense.

Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
We have bug-out bags on a shelf by the front door, should we need to run from a tornado or something. But otherwise, our plan is to "go armadillo" and stay right here.
We are going to hunker down for the long haul unless it is a large scale disaster. We have family members that will join us at our location to bug-in. We also have a back-up retreat in case.
Bug in, and hunker down. Make sure you have enough food and water for a few weeks or more. If SHTF, nothing will be easy, so just stay home, and let things come to you.
Your in my Mind, and in my Sights
Good article, good points..
Hell I live in the middle of National and State forests.. 1 million acres..
Major forest fire, guess I could jump in the river or head out?
Other than that, I guess I am bugged out.
To many people are watching a few survival shows and think they can live in the wilderness. 3/4 s of them could probably not put up a tent, or start a camp fire.. Good luck..

having just survived a bug in after Hurricane Sandy, I can tell you it does depend on the scenerio, I still have adjacent property owners who can not live in there own homes
the hard part was lack of things to do or the unability to do the things you want to do or used to doing
if not for the generator i could not watch old VCR tapes I had, this alone brought back a sembance of normality, reading and listening to the radio, god know what i would have done with small childern
had a nuclear bomb had dropped i would have bugged out if the totally destroyed the property I would have bugged out, but we fiared better than most so I stayed, the wife went to the daughters further inland.
In florida we are a good distance inland not far from the national parks and orange/lemon groves, plenty of wild boar and turkey, good neighbors, we are in a good bugin scenerio there
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.

The Google doodle on June 22nd celebrated the southern hemisphere winter solstice. Earlier that morning the pop-up tag read 'the start of winter' but later that morning it mysteriously changed to 'winter solstice'. It prompted me to think about the various cultural and scientific criteria that mean the start of winter. So I came up with five of my own criteria (with the help of the MV collection of course).
1. Winter means taking soup more seriously. So I ventured into the collection store to look at this publication, ready to jot down the odd recipe for you but let's just say 1933 was probably a better year for wine. It contained 1933 classics like Sheep's Head Broth, Kidney Soup and Egg Soup. There was also a section on Soups for Invalids which consisted of Mutton Broth, Invalid Broth (which was mutton broth with egg yolk and milk) and Beef Tea.
Recipe Book - 'Winter Dishes', published by Home Beautiful magazine, August 1, 1933 (SH 900857)Source: Museum Victoria
2. Winter means little heaters with lots of personality. I used to have one; it became my little warm friend on dark nights until it could puff no heat no more. Today, heater designs are very bland. The designs of the 1920s and 1930s had character and attitude, and they had great names like 'Jupiter', 'Century' and my favourite... 'Don'.

Check out the names of heaters from this flyer issued by Lawrence & Hanson Electrical Co Ltd, promoting Hecla appliances, Melbourne, for the season of 1924. We actually have the 'Century' in the MV collection.

3. Winter means getting the first waft of your winter coat with slightly musty cupboard smell. At school, the winter uniform also marked the season.
This photograph shows two sisters, Bernadette and Helen Herbert at the Alicante Restaurant, Melbourne, 8 July 1964. Helen remembers that she was wearing a purple coat she made herself. (MM 110815).Source: Museum Victoria

4. Winter means my work colleague went cross country skiing ... again.
Whilst everyone else in the office shudders as they look the inclement weather out the window, she is jumping for joy at the thought of powdered snow and wombat sightings. I think of soup, heaters and curling up like a wombat.
5. Winter means Tunna or Gagulong (depending on where you are in Australia). Indigenous knowledge divides the seasons much more sensibly; depending on where you are in Australia there are more than four seasons. The Bureau of Meteorology has more info.

This only my second year. Last year, at this time, with the lack of rain it was fairly easy to see that nothing was coming in. This year, heats been down, rains have been frequent, it appears that the major flow is over but the bees are still bringing in some nectar. Is that the impression others in this area have?
FWIW, I have an outdoor 8 medium frame OB that I use as a gauge. So far, I've pulled 3 capped frames from it (6/28). It now has 1 fully capped frame and 2 frames full of upcapped honey. It is not being fed.
Now here's the real question. I have 2 other hives that have not been able to fully occupy or fill 4 8 frame mediums. I'm thinking about pulling undrawn frames and condensing the hives to 3 8 frame mediums. My reason is SHB. I havn't seen larva or damage yet, but have seen about a dozen or more adults. I feel if I cut down the amount of space they have a better chance of fending off the SHB. But, if I'm wrong about flow they may not have enough room to store nectar.

internet rights
- internet rights
Internet rights is a movement that seeks to apply the framework of fundamental human rights in the current context of information societies. In a world where all aspects of life including economic, culture, social and political life, are increasingly mediated by technology, access to information technology for communication is critical to enable the realisation of a broad range of fundamental human rights. The right to communicate encompasses many other areas, such as freedom of opinion and expression, freedom of peaceful assembly and association, privacy, the right to development and women's rights. Due to the specificity of women's experiences and realities as recognised under CEDAW, internet rights includes their right to freedom from discrimination and exclusion and the affirmation of the right to political, economic, cultural and social participation in the internet arena. APC and others have drawn together the various themes to produce a Charter for Internet Rights.
