I did order Hopgard TODAY! What did you DO in response to or caused by this discussion, fist fight, wrestling match?
Now that I have ordered the gun I will do a mite check on the targets.
Now tell me the BEST TIME to apply it. Also...do I apply it to honey supers or just brood containing boxes?

Please remember.....this thread was not intended to convert tf folks to the dark side. I might add that I've tried hopguard and am less than impressed. It is not as benign as the manufacturer says....at least in my experience.
So, really....you're just pulling my leg....right?

dan, do all of your colonies get treated or just the ones that exceed a threshold infestation rate?

English Language and Usage...To "pull one's leg", as a saying, does seem to have the etymology you describe; every source I can find states that it dates back to the mid-1800s in England, and refers to physically tripping up another person, which puts him off balance, possibly makes him collide with others in awkward ways, and generally makes him look foolish. It quickly evolved to mean achieving that result - making a person look foolish - regardless of the specific means used. The most popular means to do so is to tell a deliberate plausible non-truth which, if believed, would lead the person react foolishly.
Now would I do that?
I ordered thirty bucks worth plus about fourteen for shipping from Mann Lake. Should cover my four hives brood boxes. Also am investigating buying the PIKE from the local brewing products store. Want me to send you a pint?.
Hope this is not like the bug blasters I installed two weeks ago in a box where I can see SHB. Caught nary a one to date.

js, i am also using the disposable beetle traps from mann lake and have had success with catching beetles in them.
for bait i use the juice from rotten banana and an equal amount of apple cider vinegar, and mix it with about 16 oz. of vegetable oil in a used dishwater detergent bottle.
the bait won't mix with the oil, so you have to shake the bottle good before putting some in the trap.
sorry dan, off topic again.

Those that don't get treated usually have had some sort of overt disturbance during the season...multiple swarms, extended queenless/broodless period or those that are in serious decline and I believe that the treatment will do more harm than good.
I don't recall ever seeing a vigorous hive test in August/September that didn't exceed my treating thresholds.....and I've had Russian hybrids, Purvis, claimed survivors, ferals, etc,....... oh yeah also small cell, and foundationless.

Let me paint another picture.
Its September mites at their peak and brood rearing slowed dramatically to make a population of bees to overwinter.
You test and determine that your miteload is 20%. But wait a minute that is 20% of the adult population of say 30,000 bees or 6,000 mites. If 60% of the mites are actually in brood cells .that means as many as 8,000 mites are parasitizing your much smaller population of developing winter bees. And if they are only producing 15000 bees to overwinter .that means as much as 60% will enter the winter seriously weakened.
Ok .much to do .got to go. Those jars of honey wont label themselves, that bottling tank won't refill itself and those beeyards need cleaning up before I start pulling some supers in a couple of weeks.

PS julysun
In a different lifetime I did a bit of work in Baytown. In the midst of the Arab oil embargo in the 1970s I drove past the Shell Oil refinery in Baytown. With a huge tank farm in the background, the Shell gas station at the entrance had a sign in front saying 'Out of Gas'.
If I'd only had a camera.....
Speaking of off topic.......

Hey Square, it is all natural. Using some natural work produced penicillin from dirt fungi. Rocket juice is Hydrazine and Oxygen, all natural.Zink coated nails in your boxes are natural compounds. Hopguard and Formic acid are natural. Treatment Free is a natural method. So is nuke'em with atoms dispersed in some exotic named liquids.

I'm in an auto accident and afterward there is a mark on my arm. A few voacl friends tell me to get it x-rayed. Nope, says I…it ain't broke….I've broken bones before, so I can tell. A couple of weeks later the arm functions normally, and there is no pain.
"Get it x-rayed," they say, "or you'll get gangrene and die. The break is already there, and you can't tell without an x ray test."
It tell them it might be "broken" but it is functioning very well.
A year later, they are still warning me of the perils of gangrene, and the importance of x ray testing when the arm is stronger and more productive than it has ever been.
They're still telling me gangrene will kill me despite a fully functioning, healthy arm.
I suspect that no matter how many splits thrive, how many nucs nor how many pounds of honey produced, there will still be critics with their heads in the sand warning that if one doesn't put insecticide in his insect colony, they'll all die.
Some folks just refuse to acknowledge reality regardless of what others see, experience and tell.
The most an honest man can say is, "I haven't seen it".
Second you seem to have missed the entire point of my analogy. There are beekeepers who insist that mites arent a problem. In reality they are a serious problem for all of us. Some will have a bee colony collapse and insist that it wasnt mite related because they didnt see overt evidence. The reality, in my opinion, is that mites underlie most failures, conventional or tf, whether or not one finds a gazillion dead mites on the hives bottom. And that was the point of the analogy. With rare exceptions, regardless of the outward symptoms .mites are part of most failures.
By your analogy, you are suggesting that the impact of varroa mites in a tf bee colony are the equivalent to a small bruise? That after a few weeks the damage is all done and never to exert any pressure again? Is that your claim?
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
The blindness of some who put their heads in the sand and insist that testing is needed, even if there is no indication of a mite problem... those who insist hat despite a long time passing with no symptoms, one must test for an illness (ie, a mite problem).
When mites don't cause problems over a long period of time, they're not a problem.
Not all of us have a problem with mites.
To continue to deny that folks are successfully keeping bees without treatments in face of growing testimony to the contrary, and refusing to consider an alternative to spending money on pesticides to put in bee colonies is surely a shining example of...
Head In The Sand Mite Control
Last edited by Beregondo; 09-27-2013 at 11:06 AM. Reason: more thoughtful wording
Maybe I misunderstood.
Maybe when one speaks disparagingly of of folks who don't tend to have mite problems and therefore don't test as "sticking their heads in the sand" and makes statements about mites like "they are a serious problem for all of us" (despite the above mentioned fact that there are folks who speak freely of having none..over time, and not noobs talking about all 3 weeks they've had bees) you aren't denying that TF folks don't have a mite problem that they aren't treating for.
Do you honestly not see how a reasonable person might see such a denial as I mentioned in those comments?
Let me be sure I understand what you are saying.
You are suggesting that somehow, even with high mite populations, treatment free bees are not affected by them? You believe that those hemolymph sucking, disease vectoring, brood parasitizing ticks somehow, mysteriously develop a synergistic relationship with bees simply because one doesnt treat?
Or are you claiming that your treatment free bees have no mites .in spite of the fact that you dont test?
Or are you claiming that by testing one, somehow, disturbs the above mentioned synergistic relationship between the treatment free bees and mites?
I am not sure why this makes you so angry.
Im not pushing treatments.
I am not against folks being treatment free.
I do believe that an objective look at mite levels will tell a beekeeper, treatment free or conventional, a lot.
And while I think every beekeeper ought to do some sort of count I dont care if experienced beekeepers choose not to .but I do worry about the total newbie who reads these things, has no idea whats going on in his/her hive but figures if the oldtimers dont test why should they ..then want to know why their bees didnt overwinter.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
I'd like to point out that regardless of conversations you may have had in the past with other folks, I'm not them.
And I've no intention to responding to things I infer those others may have said to you, based on the presumptions of what you think I'm saying -- presumptions based on things I didn't say that aren't anywhere near meaning that the words I did say mean.
I'm saying that in a population with no history of having a particular health problem over a number of years, testing for that affliction is not necessary.
I'm also saying that when there is a growing body of testimony from folks who don't treat, haven't had mite problems and over a number of years continue to have healthy apiaries, for one to prefer denial of the fact that such folks don't need to test for a problem that they don't have is an excellent example of Head In The Sand Mite Control.
There's nothing wrong with testing.
Testing is good and serves a purpose where appropriate.
But years after the bee hive was "in an accident" if there are still no symptoms of a "broken arm" it's either time to acknowledge the "x ray" test need not be done, or acknowledge that one's head is firmly planted in the sand.

Beregondo (is that really your name?),
I don't doubt that your hives are pristine….the picture of health.
When someone publically makes the statement…. I don't test and mites aren't a problem…do you see where a newcomer, reading that statement, with less pristine hives, who might have a serious mite infestation could be lulled into presuming theirs needn't be counted either?
As I said…I don't care if you count 'em. I am distressed by the number of beginners who wonder why their hives failed from what sounds like classic mite collapse….and who insist that it wasn't mites and repeat the same stuff they read on the internet.
This is not uncommon.
I do not believe they are stupid. Naïve yes.

Cup to clean beer pong balls seeks funds
A smart new gadget to help clean-up the world's favourite drinking game has been pitched online in the hope of finding the funds to put it into production.
The Clean Cup is a battery operated, table top unit that seeks to replace the "wash cup" — normally a cup of still water used to dunk a dropped ball in an attempt to clean it before a successful shot is thrown into a beer cup [see below for video].
Using a combination of pressurised water and bursts of air to ensure full cleaning coverage, it's a case of simply placing a ball in the cup and pressing a button. The ball is cleaned before being pushed to the top of the cup again, "floating" on a stream of air as if it was sitting in the regular wash cup.
The whole process takes only five seconds — the perfect amount of time to ensure a clean ball between turns.
Its portability is what is said to set this cup apart from any home-made cleaning device, as its lightweight and party-friendly design makes it a great addition to any frat-style shindig.
The Clean Cup also comes with a removable and reusable filter to catch all of the dirt that the balls will inevitably collect on a night of drunken reverie. It's a simple case of slipping the filter in before the night starts, and giving it a quick rinse once the party is over.
The history of the cup spawns from a college engineering project in 2004 by then-student of the University of British ColumbiaTyler Dobush, who years later teamed up with graphic designer Zach Hallam to help his vision come to life.
With offers for early-bird investors like branded t-shirts and the opportunity to create your own Clean Cup design, people are being encouraged to donate now to help see the prospect of perpetually clean beer pong balls become a reality.
Investors have 28 days to pledge as much as they can to reach the $40,000 target.

Aaron Hernandez update: Police discovered evidence at secret apartment; scouting service warned teams of 'problem'
|07.04.13 at 7:31 am ET
Police discovered evidence, including clothing and several boxes of ammunition, at an apartment in Franklin rented by Aaron Hernandez, according to court records as reported by The Associated Press.
Police indicated they learned of the secret "flop house" — located about 11 miles from Hernandez's home in North Attleboro — from Carlos Ortiz, Hernandez's friend who was believed to be with the former Patriots tight end the night Odin Lloyd was shot and killed.
When they searched the $1,200 apartment on June 26, investigators discovered a white hooded sweatshirt — similar to the one Hernandez wore the night of the murder — along with a baseball hat that appears to be the one he was wearing at a nightclub the Friday before the murder.
'¢ A scouting service that provides psychological profiles of NFL prospects wrote in 2010 that Hernandez enjoyed "living on the edge of acceptable behavior" and could be "a problem" for a team.
Via The Wall Street Journal, Human Resource Tactics, a scouting service based in North Carolina, scored the University of Florida product a 1 out of 10 in "social maturity," although he received a 10 in "focus" and "mental quickness," 9 for "self-efficacy" and "receptivity to coaching," and 7 for "dedication."
The report indicated that Hernandez's responses "suggest he enjoys living on the edge of acceptable behavior and that he may be prone to partying too much and doing questionable things that could be seen as a problem for him and his team."
However, the one-page analysis also included the note that, "Hernandez sees himself as a football player above all else. He will place a high priority on football and what it takes to be successful."
Hernandez slipped to the fourth round after being considered a likely first- or second-rounder.
The Patriots refused comment when asked by The Wall Street Journal if they had seen the report before the draft. A Human Resource Tactics partner indicated that 18 NFL teams subscribe to the service but did not say if the Patriots are one of them.
The report also notes that Hernandez scored a below-average 17 on the Wonderlic problem-solving test.
'¢ Bristol County Sheriff Tom Hodgson continues to say that he will not let Hernandez marry his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, while he is in prison.
"We're not going to revamp our entire security system to perform marriages inside our prison.," Hodgson told the NFL Network on Wednesday. "If you want to get married, what you do is, you stay out of jail."

Updates on Pocatello/Chubbuck event center
They could be breaking ground in as little as nine months
CHUBBUCK, Idaho - Pocatello and Chubbuck's event center is on the brink of development. Officials in the Pocatello/Chubbuck Auditorium District say they could even break ground in nine months.
So what we can expect and, more importantly, how much it will cost? The estimate from the Raul Cano, the Auditorium District's executive director, for the entire project cost is $5-$7 million.
"We had this study done three years ago and they told us, 'yes there is a need,'" said Cano. "We've talked to a lot of people that agree that if we have this facility built, it's going to get a lot of use."
There are still some building plans that have yet to be finalized, but Cano says they're hoping to buy the land and the building, saving money in the long run. He said the original plan was to sign a 30-year lease that could cost them millions of unnecessary dollars with nothing to show for it.
He said when the Auditorium District was created in 1998, the original plan was to market current spaces, like Holt Arena, hotels and other spaces in the community. However, when the Auditorium District was created, Idaho statute dictated a building to serve the Auditorium District needed to be built. So the search began for the perfect location, price and type of building that would help bring in outside dollars.
"That's why auditorium districts were created," said Cano, "to be able to build a facility and also promote economic development."
The most important factor of the cost is that Pocatello and Chubbuck residents won't pay for any of it. The money comes from hotels, and a room tax guests pay.
"This is a pass-through tax that only affects the people that stay at hotels," Cano said, adding that the only way a local resident would have paid for this project is if they stayed in a local hotel. Cano also says this creates a cycle in the Pocatello/Chubbuck area.
"People come and stay at the hotels, and that brings more dollars into the community as a whole," Cano said. "Then [the hotels] collect this room tax which goes to us, which helps us to market and bring more events, and put more people in the hotel beds."
But where will the event center be built? Cano says he doesn't know the exact plot, but it will be in the new construction area of Knudsen Boulevard, the road that will connect Hawthorne Rd. It's going to connect Hawthorne road to Yellowstone Avenue in Chubbuck, and it's also going to be the area where the new event center will be located.
Cano said they do not want the event center considered as a convention center. They want to continue the partnerships they've developed with the hotels by having the hotels host conventions.

Families mourn plane crash victims
Page Tools
A man who refuelled the plane that his son was flying on has told of his grief after it crashed with 15 people on board in far north Queensland.
And, as the identities of those on board come to light, a resident has said those who used the commuter service were nervous about the plane because it had a history of being unreliable.
Effif Eseli, 47, whose adopted son Fred Bowie was among those presumed killed, refuelled the plane at Bamaga yesterday, News Ltd newspapers reported.
Today the Bamaga community was in mourning.
"I feel so bad, my son was on board and I gave them fuel," Mr Eseli said.
"It's just terrible I just really want to know what happened. My family is really upset."
Police officer Sally Urquhart, who was engaged to another officer in Bamaga, was also believed to be on the plane.
One of the victims, Arden Sonter, decided at the last minute to board the flight to meet his wife in Cairns and was delighted when told there was a spare seat for him, it was reported.
He had driven to Bamaga airport without a ticket with the intention of flying to Cairns to meet his wife then drive back to Bamaga with her.
However, he did not know she had been trying to contact him to say she had decided to stay on with relatives.
A local resident, who did not want to be identified, said everyone knew most of the people aboard the Metroliner aircraft.
"We've had no reports, hardly anything on the TV, nothing on the radio much, they haven't even got to the plane yet. This is criminal," the resident said.
Rescue teams were today trying to reach the burnt out wreckage of the plane, but police said it was unlikely anyone had survived.
The Bamaga resident said many people in the town were critical of the aircraft used to provide commuter services to the area.
"I'm worried every time I get in that plane," he said.
"They brought it out from America about three years ago ... it had probably shit itself in America and they sell it to us."
He knew of two or three occasions when people who had gone to the airport to catch the flight had had to return to the township because the aircraft could not be started.

Prevatt's Bullet Was Self Inflicted
Published September 29th, 2009
Preliminary autopsy results are in from an officer involved in the shooting of Joe Alan Prevatt of Starke yesterday afternoon
They say a .25 caliber bullet was found in the wound believed to have killed him. That means he died from a self-inflicted gunshot because Bradford County Sgt. Kevin Mueller was firing a .40 caliber handgun.
FDLE's investigators are now trying to determine if Prevatt meant to shoot himself or if it was an accident.

Discussion in 'Other Sports' started by Buzz, Nov 13, 2010.
Almost as shocking as the ice dance toe-tapping skandal, innit?
The NY Cosmos will play in Div 2 NASL next season (2013).
NJL (Much suprised by this...they were supposed to be MLS's team #20....maybe that honor will go to Div 3 Orlando now?...)
NJL, ya gotta think that the Cosmos are VERY high on Don Garber's list of expansion teams. But no stadium = no MLS
Honestly, i don't think MLS is any hurry to bring new teams in right now, despite the successes of the last 6 new teams. The goal is to bring in teams that will get supported like what's going on in Portland, and until somebody can convince MLS that they can approach that, no dice.
Dempsey to Liverpool? Hope he enjoys the Europa League. LOL Ioana would have loved to take you up on that offer but I'm stuck here in the boonies a.k.a. Toronto.
The fall of Rangers has been remarkable. Down to the third tier in Scotland, looks like the American players are all going to bolt too.
John Terry has been cleared of the racism charge against him.
Interesting trial. Setting aside the fact that we all know that John Terry is a tool...this trial shows a lot of differences between US and UK jurisprudence. No way does Terry go to trial in the USA for something like he was accused of.
The judge made a lot of assumptions about Terry's motives, including assuming that Terry has been through the wringer enough that he wouldn't react to being taunted. I just kept thinking would the judge think the same thing of Zinedine Zidane? Wouldn't he'd have thought ZZ would have not reacted the way he did in the WC?? Interesting indeed...
FIFA is going to investigate the bidding process for the 2018 & 2022 WC. Talk about the fox guarding te henhouse! But it is a good start.
Yikes, I have NO hope that Blatter has any intention of actually investigating what the entire world knows was a corrupt process. I mean, Qatar? Really?
Liverpool started their North American tour so i'm excited.. heading to watch their practise on Friday, game on Saturday in Toronto.. then hubby heading to Boston to watch them next week.. most of the team there for Boston - but playing a lot of the youngsters for Toronto game.. either way I'm excited to see a decent level of footie live again
I envy you 4kidz! Have fun and spare a thought while you are there for those of us who has to work. LOL
LOL ITA. Every time someone even mentions Qatar I get well... The YouTube video below says it all better than I could.
I am thinking about going to the Boston game, but still not sure about it. Have fun in Toronto & hopefully same thing holds true for your husband at Fenway (wonder what football looks like from Green Monstah seats).
Chelsea's PSG game in NY is on tap for this weekend, but Romeu and Mata are both staying in Spain to train for the Olympics (methinks losing a friendly to Senegal has something to do with a more intense training camp now). Should be fun to see Torres and David Luiz live.
And all this talk about Torres and Liverpool at the same time reminds me of this. Not meant as a reminder for Liverpool fans that are still upset about the transfer...just love the ad.
OMG I had never seen that Ad.. My hubby grew up right underneath Everton's grounds (little terraced houses).. he will get a kick out of that ad..
Going to Chelsea v AC Milan on July 28th @ SunLife (Dolphin/Joe Robbie) Stadium. Over 50K tickets sold so far. Probably 60K could be sold by gameday.
NJL (we'll be behind the east goal....section 128, I believe....all in Striker red & yellow hoops.......)
Just saw some info online that ticket sales for the women's Olympic tournament are abyssmally bad. The USA v, France game that features two exciting teams who were played against each other in the WWC semi's have sold all of 200 tickets. That is no mistake, 200 freakin tickets. The GB women's team has sold 30k seats for their first game, but evidently the Brits support women's soccer about as much as the Brazillian's do.
According to some articles, they had to scale down on the tickets available for men's soccer as well. I always thought it was a little overly-optimistic they'd try and pack major stadium for group games like Honduras-Japan (or any other teams without big name recognition), but the sales you mentioned for some women's game are downright depressing.
I have to admit that I have never even seen a single Olympic footie match. LOL
Too bad Buzz, the women's finals the last four Olympics have been awesome games. Including the 2000 final where the USA women got hosed on a hand-ball non-call.
two of my favourite olympic sports are women's hockey and women's footie..I would go if it was a little closer..
NJL.. have fun I'm excited for the Liverpool game too
4rkidz...I will, thank you.
This is the 3rd or 4th international exhibition game played at Sunlife (Joe Robbie - Dolphins) Stadium this year. The stadium owners the, Miami Dolphins, are claiming that they'll make more $$$ from these games that from all 81 regular season Marlin games last year. They are so enthused about all this that they now want an MLS team in the big 75,000+ stadium. I'd love to have MLS back in South Florida, but not in that big barn & not owned by the current Dolphin ownership. It is among the NFL's worst.
Plus, they'd probably kill my beloved NASL, 2nd Division Ft Lauderdale Strikers. That's the team I'd love to see grow into MLS. Along with the newest addition to NASL next year (2013), the New York Cosmos.
We'll see what comes of all this. The last we heard MLS wants 3rd Division Orlando City to move up as "Florida's team". Or a team from "Miami". Or Atlanta. Or Timbuktu. Who knows...
Doesn't look like MLS is in any hurry to add another team anytime soon. They clearly want the Cosmos in the league, but they were smart to put that into the "show me" mode. And seeing that the Red Bulls are hardly a huge drawing card despite their beautiful new stadium, I'd be cautious putting another team into the NY market at this point.
MLS would do better to see about fixing franchises in trouble before expanding next. Both Columbus and Dallas are bleeding money and Chivas isn't far behind. Chivas needs better ownership and their own place, Columbus and Dallas both need better marketing.
Now is the time to consolidate the successes in Port, Van, Tor, MTL leaguewide and not get greedy.
Sad to hear the difficulties some teams are having. Does this mean the MLS is in trouble?
Not at all Buzz. Things are going gangbusters in a lot of places. San Jose just drew 50k for a recent match against LA. Seattle regularly gets over 35k per match. Portland draws beyond seating capacity at every game. Frankly, I think everyone should see a match at Jeld-Wen field in Portland. Just an outstanding environment to watch footie.
But there are a few franchises that are struggling, which would be true in any league. IMO, the struggling teams are in locations that for the most part (save Chivas) should be good draws. Columbus used to be a great franchise, but the wheels have fallen off. Dallas has never been a huge draw, and even though they have some decent talent (Brek Shea) the metroplex doesn't seem to be interested in the product. NYRB is also strange since they have world class talent in Henry, Marquez and Cooper, yet there seem to be indifference in the NY/NJ area. With all three, winning would help ALOT, but no way Dallas or Columbus is going to do that anytime soon i'm afraid.
I really should do my part and drag myself to more TFC games.
Also Buzz, TV ratings are up for MLS... http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2012/07/20/Media/Final-Ratings.aspx
Oh yeah transfer season is still on and Ibrahimovic is off to PSG.
you should.. they looked quite good.. LFC looked like sh@t.. but I was conflicted anyway as was happy for Toronto too.. although ended up with a tie.. in my eyes LFC lost Hopefully they will have a decent team actually out and playing for Boston.. just goes to show though that the MLS is really closing the gap now with European teams.. not quite.. but getting closer... just wish some big name players would sign up with more MLS teams..
I went to the Chelsea - PSG match at Yankee Stadium Sunday
I watched that one on tv! LOL Looks like a very well attended game.

Jodha Akbar: 13th May; Jodha's Back To Jalal After Long Wait
Jodha Akbar 13th May written episode: Akbar restlessly awaits Jodha's arrival. He keeps receiving messages about her progress and gifts the messengers. Rukaiya becomes envious seeing this. She thinks that she has to behave well with Jodha, to remain close to Akbar.
Rukaiya becomes engaged in the preparation of Jodha's arrival. Maha Manga taunts her saying that she has been defeated by Jodha. Rukaiya clears that she was forever close to Akbar and now whatever she is doing, it is for his happiness. She never wants to be a fool like Maham, says Rukaiya.
Adam Khan expresses his disgust over the special treatment for Jodha. Maham regrets that the Hindus are getting more importance in the Mughal Kingdom. She advises Adam's men to remove Akbar's confidants away from him. She names Atgah, Todarmal, Man Singh and Jodha and tells them to start with Atgah.
Man Singh meets Jodha when she is a little away from Agra. He tells her that Akbar has sent him to receive her. She wants to know more about Akbar. Man Singh informs that he was morose up to the receipt of the message of her comeback. Now he is happy like anything.
Akbar cannot sleep at night in excitement. He asks Salima how to behave with Jodha after the meeting. Salima tells him that he will automatically find the language of love. Jodha also finds the night too long to end.
At last Jodha comes at the gate of the Mughal Palace. She is welcomed by Hamida, Salima and Rahim. She says sorry to them for leaving them suddenly. But throughout the rituals her eyes search for Akbar. At last she meets him.
Rukhaiya's Thoughts
Rukhaiya is shocked to see Jalal eager for Jodha's return. She wouldn't understand why he cares so much for someone who left on her own.
Jalal Open About His Feelings
Jalal would acknowledge his impatience at waiting for Jodha's arrival.
Maha Manga In Awe Of Rukhaiya
Though Maha Manga calls Rukhaiya innocent, she knows Rukhaiya is more cunning and more apt in dealing with issues.
Maha Manga's Plan
Maha Manga plans to first deal wiht the people who are Jalal's anchor of support. They decide to first take up Atgah Saab.
Jodha Received Midway
Jodha would be received midway where a camp is set up for her to rest for the night. She would come to know Jalal has been awaiting eagerly for her return.
Jodha Eager To Return As Well
Jodha would find it tough to spend her last night away from Jalal as well.

Citation: Jimenez-Severiano, H., Mussard, M.L., Fitzpatrick, L.A., D'Occhio, M.J., Ford, J.J., Lunstra, D.D., Kinder, J.E. 2005. Testicular development of Zebu bulls after chronic treatment with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist. Journal of Animal Science. 2005. v. 83(9):2111-2122. Interpretive Summary: The use of herd sire registries and artificial insemination in the cattle industry have placed greater importance on larger testicular size and increased sperm production in stud bulls. Pituitary hormones play an important role in both pubertal development and mature testicular function because they contribute to an environment that promotes the production of germ cells and assists their development into viable sperm in the testis. Increased basal levels of the pituitary hormones in bulls during development results in larger testes and increased sperm production. The present study evaluated the effects of treatment (i.e., for 3-12 mo duration between birth and 15 mo of age) with implants of a gonadotropin-releasing-hormone agonist, deslorelin, on testicular development in 54 young zebu-crossbred beef bulls in Australia. Testis mass and structure were examined upon castration of bulls at 19 mo of age. In addition, the effectiveness of a stain for the transcription factor GATA-4, a specific marker for Sertoli cell nuclei, was evaluated and total number of Sertoli cells per testis was determined. Based on the results of this study, treatment of Zebu bulls with deslorelin had no apparent beneficial effect on testis development, and deslorelin treatments initiated at 3 mo of age resulted in delayed puberty, significantly smaller testis and reduced sperm production without affecting Sertoli cell numbers at castration, compared to control bulls, regardless of treatment duration. For the first time in the bovine, staining for GATA-4 was shown to be a useful method for identifying and quantifying Sertoli cell nuclei in both pre- and post-pubertal bulls. These results provide new methods and insights that expand our understanding of factors that program and control testis function. Effective manipulation of these factors may ultimately allow producers to enhance mature testis size, sperm production and reproductive efficiency in bulls used as sires in the cattle industry.
Technical Abstract: The objective was to compare testis characteristics of Zebu bulls treated with the GnRH agonist deslorelin, at different times and for different durations during their development. An additional objective was to determine the usefulness of a stain for the transcription factor GATA-4 as a specific marker for Sertoli cell nuclei. Bulls (54) were allocated to nine groups (n = 6), and received s.c. deslorelin implants, as follows: G1, from birth to 3 mo of age; G2, from 3 to 6 mo; G3, from 6 to 9 mo; G4, from 9 to 12 mo; G5, from birth to 15 mo; G6, from 3 to 15 mo; G7, from 6 to 15 mo; G8, from 12 to 15 mo; and G9, control (no implant). Bulls were castrated at 19 mo of age. Paraffin sections (10 'm) were subjected to quantitative morphometry and GATA-4 immunohistochemistry. At castration, all G9 bulls (6/6) had attained puberty, while a smaller proportion (P < 0.05) had reached puberty in G2 (2/5) and G6 (1/6). Bulls in G2 and G6 also had smaller (P < 0.05) testis weight, compared with G9. Total volume of seminiferous epithelium, and total daily sperm production in G2 and G6 were only half of that observed in G9. Spermatids were observed in less than 50% of seminiferous tubules in G2, G6 and G7, compared with 82% in G9 (P < 0.05). Staining for GATA-4 was specific for and abundantly expressed in the Sertoli cell nucleus in both pre- and post-pubertal bulls, and no other cell nucleus inside the seminiferous tubule was positive for GATA-4. Total number of Sertoli cells was not affected by treatment (P > 0.05), but nuclear volume was smaller in G2 and G6 (P < 0.05), compared to controls. In conclusion, treatment of Zebu bulls with deslorelin had no apparent beneficial effect on testis development and delayed puberty when treatment was initiated at 3 mo of age. Staining for GATA-4 is a useful method for identifying and quantifying Sertoli cell nuclei in both pre- and post-pubertal bulls.

Spring internship opportunities with CALPIRG
November 15, 2012
CALPIRG is now accepting applications for spring internships with our USC
chapter. Interns can make a difference on issues they care about – like
promoting energy efficiency, working to get big money out of politics, or
making textbooks affordable. By participating in our internship program,
students will learn skills such as how to plan and run a campaign, recruit
and train a team of volunteers, work with the media, and organize events to
educate the campus community about these issues.
Internships are open to students from any major, and in most cases we are
able to help interns receive academic credit for their work.
We are now accepting applications.
Students can apply online at http://www.calpirgstudents.org/internships.
We are also hosting two information sessions next Monday, November 19, at 4
pm and 7:30 pm in the lobby of GFS for students to hear from a current
CALPIRG intern about her experience.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
What happens if arrears are owed and parent aggressively pursues it? Can they get the person put in contempt and thrown in jail even many years after child becomes adult if no payments are made? My ex owes me 20,000 and the child is 20. I did not really pursue in the past few years and not even sure of status of case- person is in Delaware.I got irregular payments for many years.
Also if parent who owes support was to die- would the estate be expected to settle the debt like if you went in front of a probate judge or something?
Laymans guess:
Generally speaking the CS remains due to the named parent and all the remedies and sanctions remain in effect --but I suspect the local judge won't toss him in jail as quickly for contempt if the person tobe supported is no longer a child in need. .
However in some states there is a time limit on how long you can snooze before the debts turn legally stale
Yes, the estate should owe the debt if not otherwsie legally stale but if you fail to present a prompt claim against the estate then by operation of estate law your claim quickly becomes stale
You cannot squeeze blood out of a stone --but unless EX is truly destitute and w/o any means to pay I suggest you crank up your collection efforts
I suspect DE law governs as to when your ability to collect from a DE resident turns stale but I simply don't know.
My ex owes close to $15k in back support.
His check was garnished for the last two years (when son was 16~18) for $167 weekly. When my son turned 18, the payments dropped to $26 weekly. The CS apparently stopped, and, now they are taking the absolute minimum for arrears?
I would pursue it, but, not sure it will be like regular CS payments, or, the bare minimum like I am getting.

Don't need six pack abs to be a good actor: Akshaye Khanna
"I don't think to prove yourself as an actor you have to be a fitness freak or have six pack abs... Looks are important when on screen but they are not the priority. I have known people who might not look very good but are fantastic actors. Appearance does help to an extent but at the end it is only acting that matters. The audience today is smart, they know what they want and if an actor is not able to do justice to the character and portray it convincingly it won't be appreciated by the audience," Akshaye Khanna told PTI.
The 36-year-old, who has returned to the big screen after a long gap with Gali Gali Mein Chor Hai, enjoys being out of the media glare, as he likes privacy. "I am not the kind of person who likes to stay in constant limelight... I like my own space and enjoy my privacy. Some people get a high out of it (limelight) but I don't. I like to do my work and go back home. If not being in news affects my career then I don't mind... I will give up happily but I cannot change myself and by God's grace it hasn't affected my work for so many years."

William's Wishes will go toe-to-toe with Sprinter Sacre in the rearranged Victor Chandler Chase at Cheltenham this weekend.
The eight-year-old gelding is a notoriously bad worker at his home in Wales, but is unbeaten in five starts over fences and looked most impressive at Sandown earlier this month.
"We'll be running him at Cheltenham," said trainer Evan Williams.
"Because of the snow, he's only been going round in circles on the sand so I've not had to go through the embarrassment of watching him work.
"We've never had a horse like this that works so deplorably, yet shows such a high level of form on the track.
"He's a very healthy little horse who has looked a picture this year."

What anesthesia is used in Rhinoplasty, and where does the doctor inject it? I'm afraid the injection will hurt.
What Anesthesia is Used for Rhinoplasty?
Doctor Answers 4
Rhinoplasty under general anesthesia
I perform rhinoplasty under general anesthesia. The patient is asleep prior to injection. Some surgeons perform rhinoplasty with IV sedation, but patients usually do not remember the injection.
Anesthesia & Rhnoplasty
There are various methods of anesthesia used in rhinoplasty and cosmetic surgery. These include general anesthesia, IV sedation, local / topical anesthesia. Different surgeons prefer different types of anesthesia depending on the what needs to be done surgically, but the number one priority during surgery (other than obtaining a good cosmetic result) is the patient's safety. Most rhinoplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia (using anesthetic gas delivered via a breathing tube inserted into the windpipe after the patient is asleep) because the patient is completely asleep, doesnt move, and the airway is protected from aspiration of blood or secretions.
Web reference: http://rhinoplasty-usa.com/html/meet-dr-cochran.html
General anesthesia for rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is usually performed under a general anesthesia. The entire nose needs to be injected with lidocaine and epinephrine. The epinephrine prevents bleeding from occurring because the nose is so vascular. The lidocaine numbs up the nose so that a lighter amount of anesthesia can be used.

Rhinoplasty, What Type of Anesthesia is Given, Do the Injections Hurt?
Hi Jenny in Albania,
In our surgery center, the only thing that our patients feel is a quick 2 second pinch on their hand where local anesthesia is placed where the IV will be placed. Once the IV is in, the patient is given Diprovan which allows them to be asleep yet still breathing on their own without the need for intubation or a ventilator.
Once asleep, the nose is injected with local anesthesia, and then the operation is performed.
With regard to Albanian anesthesia, I am unable to tell you how your surgeon will anesthetist you. But if it is entirely under local anesthesia, you will be aware of the injections. Ask your surgeon to answer this question for you.
Be well.

OpenPeak's OpenTablet 7 Bets It All On Flash
The world's attention has been focused on Apple's purportedly revolutionary iPad since its introduction a few months back. Apple, of course, managed to astound the world despite its lack of Flash support. However, there were plenty who complained about this lack of Flash, which got other tablet makers thinking how to exploit this complaint. And OpenPeak took this iPad weakness to its unfortunate logical extreme.
Behold: the OpenPeak OpenTablet 7. It is a Linux tablet running on the Intel Moorestown 1.9 GHz chip. For those of you who don't remember, Moorestown is an Atom-derived CPU for mobile platforms like smartphones. What is more interesting, however, is the fact that the Linux base is all wrapped up under a Flash interface layer. Despite this, the UI is well polished and very responsive. The screen is a 7" 1024 x 600 LCD. There are some other interesting features like a 1080p front facing webcam, 5 MP rear camera, microSD slot, and HDMI out.
Still, to use a Flash interface is peculiar, as Flash isn't exactly cherished for its performance abilities. Moreover, Flash is a dying technology. The Apple detractors do not claim that Flash will stay as a permanent application platform, they simply point out the lack of Flash allows Apple and software developers to remake free Flash sites into pricey apps. The OpenPeak tablet is targeted to very niche markets, namely home automation and video conferencing based on the press interviews. It will be paired up with AT&T and will probably be priced comparably to the iPad. Let's see if it can stay alive long enough to be relevant.
Via Engadget.
Ridiculous Statement of the Week: Steve Jobs on Flash
In an ideal world, executives wouldn't feel obligated to make outrageous claims and justifications for their product's shortcomings. However, in an ideal world, the iPad would also have Flash support. So we know we don't live in an ideal world. And here is the corresponding outrageous claim: Steve Jobs has told the Wall Street Journal that Flash would reduce the iPad's battery life to a pathetic meager 1.5 hours.
There are so many things wrong with this assessment that it would be laughable if it wasn't for the fact Jobs seems serious to stand by this justification. First off, this metric is highly deceiving, as simply supporting Flash would have no effect whatsoever on battery life. Only usage of Flash would cut down on battery performance, a reality I am sure most users could come to terms with.
The other question we are forced to ask is by what standard was that original 10 hour figure measured. If continuous Flash usage causes an 85% drop of the supposed battery life, then the odds are that the original battery life is only in terms of very non-intensive usage (i. e. sitting on the home-screen). This would really come to no surprise to anyone, but it ultimately means his point regarding a decreased battery life is moot. Either way, it would be better for all parties involved if Jobs were honest regarding this matter, instead of childishly deriding any prospects and treating his end-users like children.

Adobe Defends Flash, Fights With Apple
In response to Steve Jobs' jabs at Adobe Flash, Adobe's chief technology officer Kevin Lynch has defended Flash and accused Apple of not wanting to cooperate with his company and add Flash support for the iPhone and iPad.
Lynch wrote in a blog entry expressing Adobe's willingness to enable Flash for the browsers on the iPhone and iPad if Apple would be willing to cooperate. Jobs recently said that Apple is unwilling to have Flash support on its mobile devices because Flash is too buggy. Lynch disagrees, saying that Flash is not released with known crash bugs and it could not have achieved its popularity if it were as buggy as Jobs says it is.
Furthermore, Flash will be available on all major smartphones—with the exception of the iPhone. Flash support could give iPhone competitors an edge.
Lynch also said that he does not see HTML 5 replacing Flash, though Steve Jobs does. 75 percent of video on the Internet uses Flash.
Though I do love Apple and Apple products, I agree with Adobe on this. The iPhone's biggest flaw, in my opinion, is its lack of Flash support.

As a beauty guru/junkie/artist I am also a proud [beauty] bookworm. I have a reference library at home filled with all the top beauty books. Here's a selection of what I use for inspiration and reference. Oh, and one NOT in my library and why not everyone should get a book deal. [did I just??? yes, I did]
Rae Morris is a makeup artist from Australia. I discovered this book while walking through Kinokuniya, a GINORMOUS bookstore in Singapore. Why is this a great book? She writes it seamlessly concise that anyone from an average Jane to a senior pro-artist can follow. I LOVE her tip on using tape. [You'll have to buy the book to discover her tip] I've used tape before as a tool for sharp edges or to lift off unwanted glitter - but Ms Morris has some other uses.
Beautiful Eyes is another great book by Ms Morris; great tips with beautiful imagery. An easy read for all from the one who needs a 'makeup for dummies' to a pro who likes to keep a library. If you are unsure about what colours you can pull off with your eye colour she has a fabulous guide at the beginning of the book.
Don't 'click' to look inside as I clipped this off of Amazon! But click to go buy Making Faces! I have ALL of his books The Art Of Makeup, Face Forward and the biography by Kerry Diamond, A Beautiful Life. For those who don't know about Kevyn, he was a ground-breaking makeup artist. He really set the stage for us celebrity artists and took the art [and commerce] to the next level. In 2002 Kevyn passed away - he has an amazing story. Wiki sums it up, but read A Beautiful Life, it truly was.
Beautiful Brows, 121 pages of eyebrows. Riiiight. I'm sure Damone Roberts will disagree with me, but it's about 100 pages too long. If you are a makeup artist or an eyebrow fanatic do get this. However, if you are looking for random books to fill your library, skip it. Read ALLURE's beauty tips on brows, that's all you will need on the brow topic.
The Mane Thing by Kevin Mancuso, if you like hair books or if you are a hairstylist this needs to be in your reference list. I hear Kevin is a nice guy too. Funny story: I was asked to assist him for a Clairol ad and said No. I had been done with assisting for a while - was already on my first TV show doing makeovers and frankly, my ego was too big to assist anymore. I sent my assistant at the time who was going to assist the key makeup artist with my copy of The Mane Thing and had it autographed. LOLZ. [sidebar: Kevin had gotten stuck in a New York snowstorm so his flight was delayed by a day, so I actually had been called in to prep all the models' haircuts and oversee the colourist who was matching extensions that were once in Britney's hair to the lead actress' hair for the commercial.]
And with a title like Spectacular Hair you would expect it to be so... this one actually got rave reviews. I flipped through it at Borders, shuddered and put if back on the shelf. The cover looks promising but then most of the styles look like bad Southern Belle prom hair from the 70s. [must be self-published]
UPDATE: Good To Great Hair, I have this book and flip through it a lot for reference. I can't believe I forgot to put it on here. Want to DIY hairstyles? Are you a hairstylist? Do you have some hair? Get this book, truly one of the best hair books on the shelves today. Robert Vetica, the brains behind the magic hands, has styled many Red Carpet A-listers, many of whose hair I have LOVED. Check out his work.
Makeup Is Art is on my 'to buy' list. I haven't even seen the inside of it but it comes recommended by two artists so therefore I must have it. *smiley face
Bobbi Brown Beauty is also a staple for your beauty library. She has some nice techniques that she shares. She has nice makeup too. [LOVE the Shimmer Bricks!]
Carmindy's The 5 Minute Face is a cute book with fast tips. I like it. It's simple. Not much more to say. [In the past I've been referred to as the Carmindy of Canada. Thanks; I'll take that!] I hear she's super duper nice too.
Some honourable mentions: Vogue and InStyle occasionally publish beauty books. InStyle's tend to be a great celeb tip/bang for your buck, although some of the tips of 'drink water' are a little tired. We all know to drink water.
Have a great beauty book to share? Don't be shy. Comment below.

Lobos Women Finish Second, Men Third at MW Outdoor Championships
May 11, 2013
Men's Team Scores | Women's Team Scores
Men's Results - Friday | Women's Results - Friday | Men's Results - Saturday | Women's Results - Saturday
LAS VEGAS — The Lobos might not had held the winning hands, but they certainly didn't disappoint.
The University of New Mexico track and field teams put on superlative performances at the 2013 Mountain West Outdoor Track and Field Championships as the women placed second with 145.5 points and the men finished third with 149 points.
While the odds didn't ended up in the Lobos' favor, the women did tie their best finish ever at the MW Outdoor Championships while also recording the most points at an outdoor conference meet in nearly 30 years. The men also did well, scoring more than 100 points for the fifth-consecutive year.
"It was an amazing weekend," said New Mexico head coach Joe Franklin. "We scored more points that we thought we could on both sides. We just scored everywhere and we had lots of great performances. It was a really fun weekend."
On the women's side, their showing greatly atoned for their disappointing seventh-place finish at last year's conference meet. After producing only 76.5 points last year, the women almost doubled that en route to scoring the most points in program history since 1985, when the Lobos tied for the High Country Athletic Conference crown with 164 points.
"Most people thought we score around 110 [points]," Franklin said. "... And across the board, we had just about every who traveled on the trip score, and that's pretty phenomenal."
Leading the charge at Sheila Tarr Smith Field at Myron Partridge Stadium was the Lobos' stellar mid-distance trio of Josephine Moultrie, Charlotte Arter and Chloe Anderson.
The group scored in both the 800-meter run and the 1500, with Moultrie claiming the individual title in both. Moultrie ran times of 2 minutes, 7.54 seconds in the 800 and 4:26.25 in the 1500 to contribute 20 points to the women's tally. Arter went second in the 1500 (4:27.02) and eighth in the 800 (2:11.60), while Anderson finished third in the 1500 (4:27.88) and fourth in the 800 (2:09.44).
The distance runners also contributed nicely for the women, especially Shawna Winnegar, who placed second in the 10000 on Friday (36:18.15) and third in the 5000 on Saturday (16:46.82).
Also scoring for the women in distance races were Janna Mitsos (fourth, 16:48.46) and Imogen Ainsworth (eighth, 17:25.71) in the 5K and Kendra Schaaf (fifth, 37:14.57) in the 10K. Ainsworth and Nicola Hood also scored in Friday's 3000 steeplechase.
The Lobos received four more individual scoring performances on the track, as Kayla Fisher-Taylor took eighth in both the 100 (personal record of 11.81) and 200 (24.39); Shirley Pitts earned fourth in the 400 (54.91); and Precious Selmon claimed sixth in the 100 hurdles (13.95).
The relay teams also produced, as the 4x100 relay team of Fisher-Taylor, Yeshemabet Turner, Selmon and Casey Dowling took fifth and the 4x400 team of Tawsha Brazley, Jasmin McCray, Zoe Howell and Pitts took second, just missing a school record.
However, the women also had strong finishes in the field events, as well, including a pair of silver medalists.
Turner took second in the long jump with a personal-record leap of 20-feet, 2 ½ inches, giving New Mexico eight points. She also scored in the triple jump with a third-place mark (and PR) of 41-11 ¼.
The second runner-up finish from the field came from Amber Menke in the pole vault, whose 13-3 ½ clearance from Friday led three other scorers (Margo Tucker in third, Nathalie Busk in sixth and Annie Stirling in seventh). The women pole vaulters scored 19 points for the Lobos.
Also bringing in points for New Mexico was Marin Schweigert in the high jump (tied for third, 5-6 ½), Dowling in the triple jump (seventh, 40-feet), and Lexi Ross in the javelin throw (sixth, 138-8).
Overall, the women benefited greatly from their scoring multiple times in multiple events, but ultimately couldn't keep pace with champion San Diego State.
However, the women kept it close for most of Saturday, even leading nationally ranked San Diego State with five events remaining.
"There for a while, we were giving San Diego State a run for it, and we were all cheering for each other," Franklin said.
But, if the championships were all about winning titles, then the Lobo men might have won in spades. However, despite seven individual titles, New Mexico couldn't gather enough scoring marks to contend with victor Air Force or runner-up Colorado State.
Still, the Lobos did take home plenty of gold.
Luke Caldwell collected two wins on his own, winning the 10000 on Friday and backing that up with a victory Saturday in the 5000. In both races, his times of 14:30.00 in the 5K and 30:27.71 earned him the victory, giving him MW titles in the outdoor 5K and 10K as well as the indoor 3K and 5K.
The other titles from the track came from Elmar Engholm in the 3000 steeplechase (8:59.16) and Alex Herring in the 800 (1:49.06). Engholm snapped up UNM's first-ever steeplechase title, while Herring replicated his 800 title from the indoor meet in February.
Out in the field, the Lobos found three additional victories, all in the events ending with "jump".
Kendall Spencer won the long jump, Django Lovett won the high jump and Floyd Ross won the triple jump. For Spencer and Lovett, their marks of 24-6 ½ and 7 ½, respectively, harkened back to their titles in 2011, while Ross' 51-2 ¾ mark was his first of the outdoor season.
Nonetheless, all three defended their indoor championships in each of their events and contributed 10 points apeice to UNM's cause.
"It was ridiculous," Franklin said of the seven individual titles. "It shows that we have great athletes and that we have great students."
However, despite the seventh individual championships, the Lobos couldn't overcome a general lack of medaling finishes. After the seven crowns, the New Mexico received just three more finishes in the top-three.
Part of that was attributable to depth issues, as a number of top-caliber Lobos did not compete.
"We went to the fight without a third of our ammo," Franklin said. "We had a lot of people sitting at home who could score, that we're redshirting or are injured."
Still, New Mexico nabbed three other medaling marks, including Patrick Zacharias placing second in the 5000 (14:36.14). Herring and Engholm added the other two, as they went 2-3, respectively, in the 800.
Even then, the rest of the events didn't come up for naught, posting valuable points for the men.
Thomas Trujillo scored in both the 100 (fourth, 10.98) and 200 (fifth, 21.92), as did Ridge Jones in the 100 (fifth, 11.00) and Chris Kline in the 400 (fifth, 48.88). Gabe Aragon also added points in the 800 (fifth, 1:50.42), while JP Cordova contributed in both the 800 (eighth, 1:52.60) and 1500 (eighth, 3:53.16).
De'Vron Walker in the 110 hurdles (sixth, 14.89); the 4x100 relay team of Trujillo, Spencer, Carlos Wiggens and Jones (fifth, 41.09); and the 4x400 relay team of Kline, Cordova, Graham Thomas and Aragon (sixth, 3:22.42) rounded out the scorers from the track events.
The field events tacked on a few more scorers. Friday saw Markus Miller score in the high jump, Ty Kirk in the long jump and Marcus Simon in the javelin. On Saturday, Kirk produced in the triple jump (fourth, 48-9 ½) and Robert Warensjo did work in the pole vault (fourth, 16-8 ¾).
On the men's side, Air Force scored 210 points to take the team title, while Colorado State (165 points) finished second. Boise State claimed fourth (108 points), Fresno State fifth (90) and Wyoming sixth (85).
The San Diego State women won the MW crown, registering 182 team points. In third was Colorado State (89.5 points), followed by UNLV (83) in fourth, Nevada (78) in fifth, Fresno State (68) in sixth, Boise State (66) in seventh, Wyoming (56) in eighth and Air Force (51) in ninth.
Air Force's Ralph Lindeman was named the Men's Coach of the Year, while Sheila Burrell of SDSU was named Women's Coach of the Year. Boise State sophomore Daveon Collins earned the Men's Most Outstanding Performer award, while San Diego State junior Allison Reaser was named the Women's Most Outstanding Performer.
With the conclusion of the conference championships, New Mexico's outdoor season has ended for most of the team. A handful will travel to the NCAA First-Round Qualifying Meet in Austin, Texas, on May 23-25 as they try their luck at making it to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore., on June 5-8.

Apartment EP2 has a bedroom with a king size double bed (can be set up as two singles), a spacious living room and fully equipped marble kitchen. The living room can sleep two more people (one on a made for sleeping single sofa and one on a fold out single bed). There is also a large marble bathroom.
Apartment EP2 is located on the first floor. Access is made by a beautiful marble and iron stair case.
The apartment is located in Psirri, minutes walk away from Monastiraki and Plaka.
Monastiraki station serves the Athens International airport and the port of Piraeus.
Plaka is the heart of Athens historical city centre, where most main monuments are located.
Psirri is a place where you still find lovely artisan shops such as candle making and leather work shops. It has great restaurants, cafes, art spaces and an outdoor cinema where you can enjoy films in the original language.
You will also find grocery stores, bakeries and the Athens Central Food Market, the famous Varvakios Market.
Walking around Psirri can be deceiving as it has many old buildings and lots of street art. The street art scene has produced many outstanding artists and their work is widely photographed and admired.
The artisan shops, the residents who greet each other by their first names and the visitors create a place of unique character.
Athens also offers various beaches accessed by public transport. The nearest one is Kalamaki at 7km.

Great apartments and a terrific roof terrace.
The apartment is in very good conditions.
Position couldn't be better: only 5 minutes walk from metro Akropolis, 3 minutes walk to Acropolis Museum.
Furniture, decoration and servies are perfectly working (washing machine is a plus), Wi-fi is good.
Lia's treat at check-in was impeccable, the documentation provided very comprehensive and detailed . We'll sure recommend this accomodation in the future.
Very centrally located in a nice area and the handover of the apartment worked smoothly.
Thank you
Our stay went smoothly, according to the plan: the driver waiting at the airport, bringing us to the flat, giving the necessary information, very kindly.
The flat is extremely well situated near Sintagma square and at a walking distance from Akropole, Monastiraki and main museums.
The flat has all comforts and is very clean. It has an open space, in a pathio (without external view).
We wished a 2nd pair of keys, and the owner was responding efficiently and fast .
We are fully satisfied.
We were very well welcomed by Lia (who work for
Dean) with a nice visit in Athens.
We were 10 and we took 4 appartments : ep1 ep2 ep3 ep4 (we can be really independant in each appartment). So we were 4 in an appartment (because every appartment has a double bed in the living room). And we can eat all together on the rooftoop, a perfect place, not too hot. Appartments were clean and very pleasant.
The location is perfect : very close to the subway, near every attractions, city center, restaurants... During 4 days we can do everything by foot with my family. What else... We have air conditionning, it was safe, and cleaning is include in the price. Go in this house, we will be happy. Thank a lot Lia.
We arrived in the afternoon and were picked up at the airport by the taxidriver arranged by the appartment-company. The appartments are in really good condition. The spaces and bathrooms are nice, the kitchen is well equiped. After a short tour through the apartment our host Costas invited us on a twenty minute walk through the neighbourhood. This was really nice and gave us a good feel of the place. The neighbourhood looks quite grim with a lot of graffiti (or street art as some may call it) and a homeless person sleeping at the end of the street, but it is in fact a friendly village within the city. Located nearby the big fish/meat and vegetable markets and an excellent bakery you'll have ample opportunity to have a nice BBQ on the roof terrace. (Best in the afternoon, the sun shines on the terrace till about 7). We walked to all the important sites and took the metro to Piraeas. One afternoon we met our neighbours from the apartment underneath on the roof terrace and had a very nice conversation. We had a great time in Athens!
The appartment is very tiny and adequate for a very short stay (2-3 days) for a couple. Summary: bad value for money.
Minus: very loud due to the bell of the curch every morning and due to the noisy street (traffic, trolley bus, waste collection etc.). The distance from the bed to the bell is not more the 10 m at the same level, which should be much more clearly stated in the advertisment. The bath is tiny and flooded every time by taking a shower. To get to the shower you must climb the toilet or you are 0 size. There is definitely no space for a third person to sleep: the "daybed" next to the entrance door is max. 70 cm. No storage space. I guess the 49 m2, indicated in the description, include the balcony as well.
Plus: Location and the service by Lia.
Perfect for 4. We enjoyed every second in this wonderful apartment.Hope, we can come back again!
Super Apartment. Well situated fore visiting Athens. Great view from the terrace to Acropolis, and at night one could enjoy a glass of retsina looking at the mountain lit up by lights.
Super central, but quiet, great view from the terrace, reliable and kind guest service, lots of street art

TAB: Khloe Kardashian, Lamar Odom On Verge of "$67 Million Divorce"
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are heading for "$67 Million Divorce," shouts the latest cover of Star magazine. The tabloid alleges that after three years together, "Lamar is on the verge of leaving Khloe for good!"
Why? Star insists that the couple's fertility struggles and Odom's frustration with "omnipresent" TV cameras brought them to a "boiling point" in September. A so-called "insider" claims Odom recently yelled, "You can't give me kids — I'm out!" at his wife, storming out of their home and running off to Las Vegas. Kardashian was purportedly "devastated" and supposedly "fled" to Florida to seek comfort with her family and figure out how to save her marriage.
Gossip Cop has already demonstrated that this month-old version of events is sensationalized and bogus. But Star persists, claiming that Odom is increasingly upset about Kardashian's "controlling ways" and their failure to have children. "The only thing Lamar has been sticking around for was a child," explains a so-called "insider" for the tabloid, adding, "But since Khloe hasn't been able to get pregnant, he doesn't see any point in staying in the marriage. He's done."
Meanwhile, Odom's supposedly upset about the presence of reality TV cameras and, according to the Star source, upset that his wife "completely took over Lamar's life," supposedly spending all his money and micromanaging everything from his diet to his friendships. One "source" tells Star that Odom "had a secret meeting with a divorce lawyer."
"He wants to be sure he's protected, because he knows the Kardashians will try to fight for a chunk of his fortune," explains the so-called "insider." "He'd rather just serve her with papers and be done, as opposed to telling her the truth and having her freak out."
Let's cut through this nonsense right here. Star's track record with Kardashian and Odom is laughable. Last spring, the outlet ran a totally wrong cover story claiming it was "The End" for the couple, and that their infertility issues had pushed them "past the point of no return." Apparently, Star doesn't have a firm grasp on what "The End" means, since the couple is still happily together, even after subsequent articles attacking their marriage, such as the 100 percent misguided prediction that Odom's departure from the Dallas Mavericks "could break them apart forever."
Last month, the magazine ran a bizarre story about Kardashian feeling "abandoned" by her sisters, another bogus storyline that it seems to have "abandoned" this week. Over and over again, Star has said Odom and Kardashian were on the brink of a split. Every time, the tabloid's been wrong.
It's the case again this week. Odom and Kardashian are NOT about to break up over their baby struggles, despite Star's newest mean-spirited article. A source close to the couple calls the Star cover story "ridiculous" and assures Gossip Cop that Kardashian and Odom are perfectly OK.

Stalking Vol 2 The Bridge of Reason HTML version
"Always focused on the negative," she said, shaking her head. "I'm saying that he was a gift
of the most beautiful kind—a Stalker's projection sent to us specifically for this lesson. I touched
him to see if he was real," she tittered. "I know about projections, but I never recognized one
before now."
"Let's find him," I said, turning around, "I want to meet a..."
"He's not here anymore," Bonnie said, grasping my arm. "His job is done."
"What… he was a ghost?" I quipped sarcastically, looking for a Mariners cap bobbing down
the sidewalk.
"He was a gesture of Spirit and Spirit wastes nothing. He is no longer needed so he is no
longer here." Bonnie sniffled and said. "Your roaming mind had me take my eyes off where I
was walking, so that I could explain where you were heading in your apprenticeship, then you
ran into a stranger who had stopped to get his bearings. The event gave us all a direction."
"Directions from Davie Street to Robson, maybe."
"That man's contemplation was about a direction in life, and your lesson was to see the
underlying nature of an event—recognize your Minimal Chance as a direction to take—which
happened right away." She snapped her fingers. "The panhandler made it clear that you need
lessons concerning judgment, generosity, and appreciation. When you accept these, it'll change
the way you are going as well." She looked behind her. "It was too perfect to have been
administered by an average man."
"Generosity? I gave him almost half of my money," I protested.
"Half of your change," she corrected me, "and you did it to show yourself that you are
generous, otherwise why keep the other half when you still have five dollars?"
"You are a miser," she said crisply.
"Come off it. I spend as much on you as I do on myself, even if it's not so smart in the
"That's how you camouflage the underlying truth from yourself. You hold onto your last
dollar like a pauper to a prayer, regardless that you have no immediate need for it; you
camouflage your secret fear of poverty by equating angst with generosity."
"Did I ever hold out on you?" I said coolly, not bothering to unravel what she had said.
"You regularly decline to have a pastry with your coffee, or dessert after a meal." She
chuckled. "You've perspired when I thought about ordering one, and you become trite because it
adds to your split of the tab."
"Split?" I chuckled mirthlessly. "You might think about how we've been sharing costs for
the past few weeks—which," I quickly added, holding up my hand, "is fine. I appreciate that
you've done the same for me."
Bonnie's expenses had shot up to cover her car insurance and son's sporting goods/summer
wardrobe needs, which I knew had tapped out her monthly household account. At the same time,
my freelance work was flourishing, and I knew that she was in arrears with her power bill so I
had causally offered to help. She politely refused, saying only that it would work out. I believed
that she expected Josh to offer, which as far as I knew had not happened.
"You can't be afraid and appreciative at the same time," she replied, "and the momentum of
pettiness undeterred leads to cruelty." She bit her lower lip, looking at me expectantly.
