St. Louis – Former University of Wisconsin head coach Lisa Stone, who has amassed a 503-237 record in 26 years as a collegiate head coach, has been named head women's basketball coach at Saint Louis University. Stone is the seventh head coach in Billiken women's basketball history.
Most recently, Stone served eight seasons (2003-11) in charge at Wisconsin. She had a three-year tenure at Drake, spent 12 seasons at Wisconsin-Eau Claire and began her head-coaching career with a three-year stint at Cornell (Iowa) College.
"We are thrilled to have Lisa and her family join the Saint Louis University community," Director of Athletics Chris May said. "Her successful career, which includes a commitment to academic success and winning at every level, speaks for itself.
"It is an exciting time for the Billikens as we welcome Lisa to SLU to lead the women's basketball program in educating student-athletes, competing for championships and building community," May said. "Lisa's arrival, combined with SLU's educational excellence, state-of-the-art facilities in Chaifetz Arena, the competitive Atlantic 10 Conference and a fertile recruiting base, makes SLU women's basketball poised for success."
"I am excited to join the Billiken family," Stone said. "I wish to thank (SLU President) Father Lawrence Biondi, (Vice President for Student Development) Dr. Kent Porterfield, Chris May and (Associate Director of Athletics) Janet Oberle for their hard work during the process.
"Saint Louis University has an outstanding commitment to excellence, and I am thrilled to be part of an institution that strongly encourages its student-athletes to lead, learn and serve," Stone said. "The University offers academic prestige, outstanding facilities and a beautiful campus, plus an opportunity to compete in the very strong Atlantic 10 Conference. I can't wait to meet the players, and I am looking forward to getting started as soon as possible."
A native of Oregon, Wis., Stone guided Wisconsin to five postseason appearances, two 20-win campaigns and a 128-119 record that included a 95-68 mark in her final five seasons. In her fourth season (2006-07), the Badgers won a school-record 23 games (23-13) and finished second in the WNIT.
Following WNIT appearances the next two seasons, Wisconsin's 2009-10 squad posted a 21-11 record, tied for third in the Big Ten Conference and earned an NCAA Tournament bid. Stone was rewarded by being named Big Ten Coach of the Year. The Badgers again tied for third in the Big Ten in 2010-11 and participated in the WNIT.
Wisconsin also excelled academically with Stone at the helm. Twenty-one players combined to earn 42 Academic All-Big Ten nods during her tenure.
Stone's 64-27 record at Drake included a 42-12 Missouri Valley Conference ledger. She led the Bulldogs to a 23-7 record, an MVC regular-season co-championship and an NCAA Tournament berth in her first season (2000-01). Stone, whose 23 victories were the most by a first-year MVC women's basketball coach, was tabbed the league's Coach of the Year. The following season, Stone's team went 25-8, achieved a No. 20 national ranking and reached the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16.
The Drake program also flourished in the classroom under Stone's leadership. The 2000-01 Bulldogs were ranked sixth on the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's Academic Top 25 Honor Roll, and the 2001-02 team garnered a No. 15 ranking on the prestigious list.
At NCAA Division III Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Stone turned around a program that had registered just one winning record prior to her arrival. Her teams tallied a 277-59 mark (159-33 in conference play), turned in 11 20-win seasons, reached the NCAA Tournament 11 times and captured six league crowns. Stone's 1996-97 squad was the national runner-up, and her 1993-94 team finished third in the nation.
When Stone was named head coach at Division III Cornell College at age 21 in 1985, she was the nation's youngest head basketball coach at a four-year institution. She collected a 34-32 record at Cornell and led the Rams to the Midwest Conference's Southern Division title in each of her three years.
In addition to her collegiate coaching experience, Stone was a head coach in the 2001 WBCA All-Star Game as well as an assistant coach for gold-medal-winning Team USA at the 2002 World Championships for Young Women Qualifying Tournament in Brazil.
Stone holds a bachelor's degree in physical education (1984) and a master's degree in athletic administration (1986), both from the University of Iowa. A four-year standout at point guard under legendary head coach C. Vivian Stringer, she is 25th in points (1,129), tied for ninth in steals (177) and 11th in assists (322) on the Iowa career charts. Stone also owns a share of the Hawkeyes' record for steals in a game (nine).
Stone was a three-time team captain and a two-time Hawkeye Most Valuable Player. As a senior, she won the Big Ten Medal of Honor as one of the top scholar-athletes in the conference and also captured the Iowa Student-Athlete of the Year award.
Stone and her husband, Ed, a certified public accountant, are the parents of a daughter, Allison (20), and a son, Tyler (16).

Left: Hilary Bedford: 'Turing was unknowable', and right: Alan Turing. Picture courtesy of King's College Archive
Published: 5 July, 2012
by ALICE HUTTON
HE looked like an ordinary clerk dressed in a grey suit.
Distant and alone, the Cambridge University graduate was a puzzle to his staff.
With his high-pitched voice and nervous laugh, he always appeared to be on the edge of something.
But as far as first bosses go, it is hard to beat Alan Turing.
When Hilary Bedford arrived at the British intelligence nerve centre at Bletchley Park estate in 1943 at the age of 17 she was catapulted into the daily presence of a man now regarded as one of the country's greatest mathematicians; the father of modern computing and a secret code-breaker whose work saved countless lives during the Second World War.
Not to mention other exceptional leaps in artificial intelligence, biomedical mathematics, voice encryption machines and a seemingly incongruous near-appearance as a long-distance runner at the 1948 Olympics.
Mrs Bedford, now 86, is one of a handful of people still alive who know what it was like to work with one of England's most enduringly mysterious geniuses.
There are so few remaining not just because it was so long ago or because the work Turing did was so top secret it was only declassified in the 1970s but also because in 1954, aged just 41, he committed suicide by biting into an apple laced with cyanide.
He had been chemically castrated with hormone injections by the government after being found guilty of "gross indecency" with another man at a time when homosexual acts were illegal.
This is Alan Turing Year, the 100th anniversary of his birth and a key focus for the national campaign to lift his criminal conviction.
And now Mrs Bedford, who received a medal from the government in 2009 for her code-breaking work and afterwards revealed her story exclusively through the New Journal having kept it secret from her family for six decades, is calling for the "horrendous tragedy" to be overturned.
But 69 years ago she didn't know that Turing was to be, in her words, "the saviour of England".
"Us young women were there to do the donkey work for the intelligentsia but we did not grasp the full extent of the importance of the work," she tells the New Journal modestly from the comfort of her cosy dining room in Somers Town.
"We worked on these giant computers the size of a wall and they processed trillions of amounts of these jumbled codes intercepted from the Germans.
"The machines used to whirr and click and then stop when they had found a possibility which the code-breakers might be able to crack. Then we passed that information on to them.
"I had never seen a computer before and I thought: who is this quiet, young man who has built this giant thing that everyone says is so vital to the war effort?"
Sadly, she would never find out.
"Turing was unknowable," she shrugs. "He might as well have come from outer space. He did not know how to talk to you like a normal person.
"His intellect was so much higher than everyone else's that I could not have a conversation with him and that is the truth. He had to work alone because no one could keep up with him.
"He would hit on an idea and have to come and explain to everyone how it worked before they could do the leg work. His mind worked in a way we have never seen again. So I think he was rather lonely.
"He was dying to have a rapport with somebody but he couldn't so he used to go back to Cambridge University occasionally just to communicate with people on his level.
"It is a hell of a business being a genius."
Turing's conviction for homosexual acts in 1952, after he admitted to police he had had a gay relationship, stripped him of his prestige and security clearance and left his career and reputation in tatters.
But, bound by the Official Secrets Act (1939), he was forced to keep silent about his great work. His cleaner found him dead at home two years later.
But despite an apology by then Prime Minister Gordon Brown in 2009, Mrs Bedford feels that blame lies with Whitehall.
"His sexuality was openly talked about by his staff," she says. "He did not seem especially secretive because he clearly wanted to be honest about himself.
"So when he was arrested there must have been some idiots in Whitehall who knew who he was and what he had done for his country – so why did they not protect him?
"Turing was the saviour of England and I would like to see him reinstated.
"He was a godsend and the government used him through the war to fight the Germans, emptied his brain of everything they needed and then threw him away.
"As far as they were concerned he no longer existed. "He was like a whisper in and out of history."

WHEN World War II broke out in 1939 the Government Code and Cipher School recruited the best minds in the country who worked day and night to crack the codes of the German army, air force and navy, using Enigma machines.
England's weapon against the seemingly unbreakable codes was Turing's Bombe, an electro- mechanical "thinking machine" based in Hut 8 that was the precursor of the first modern computer Alan Turing would later build at Manchester University in 1948.
The Bombe helped pinpoint the locations of German U-boats who were sinking Britain's food and arms supply ships.
Historians estimate this breakthrough shortened the war by two years.
I dearly appreciate your comments about Alan Turing. He was indeed a lonely man partly because of his great mind but also he couldn't find anyone who he could relate to in addition to being very shy which makes for a lonely world. He truly was a man and a mind so rare and precious that it can only be numbered one in every several hundred years. I can only hope that not only England but any country throughout the world will learn this very sad and tragic story of Alan Turing and never treat anyone so inhumane ever again.
Julia M. Turing
I just saw the film and, although I've known the name Alan Turing for a while, I did not know the details of his cracking the German code, thereby saving an estimated 14 million lives and shaving two years off the war.
It's sad to think he was very isolated and driven to commit suicide.
I am grateful to know the story of what he did for us mortals. My husband is a mathematician who works in the IT field. So, I very much enjoyed watching the film with him.

Can anyone help me figure a date on this machine?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Can anyone help me figure a date on this machine?
Well, I can see the area where the patent dates are on the plate. Since it had top have been made after the last date on the list, that should give you a close estimate. Also, by looking at the intervals on the patent dates, you can get a close estimate as to the "window" of time. Hope that makes sense to you. Won't give you a "day" it was made, but at least a range of time. Interesting light system on this pretty girl.
PS: Hi neighbor! I'm in K'zoo. DS works at the Fed. Center in B.C.
She is BEAUTIFUL! I have never seen that machine.Hope you get the info you're looking for.
I like the decals on this one--bet she cleans up and just shines. No idea on dating the Free machines, sorry.

Plans to Narrow Lanes Advanced Despite Opposition
Published January 12th, 2011
Loading Video...
A resounding message of opposition to one local government agency's plan to reshape a North Central Florida thoroughfare appear to have fallen on deaf ears. After asking for and receiving public input against the proposal, the Alachua county commission is moving forward with plans to narrow NW 16th and 23rd avenue. Supporters said they aren't trying to change people's commuting habits.
"Nobody is telling them that they have to get out of their car or walk or ride a bike. All this is going to do is slow down the traffic a little bit which is not a bad thing," said supporter Julia Reiskin "Why is everyone in such a hurry?"

3. Rome
The perusal of the title to this chapter will, we fear, excite emotions of
apprehension, rather than of curiosity, in the breasts of experienced readers. They
will doubtless imagine that it is portentous of long rhapsodies on those wonders of
antiquity, the description of which has long become absolutely nauseous to them
by incessant iteration. They will foresee wailings over the Palace of the Caesars,
and meditations among the arches of the Colosseum, loading a long series of
weary paragraphs to the very chapter's end; and, considerately anxious to spare
their attention a task from which it recoils, they will unanimously hurry past the
dreaded desert of conventional reflection, to alight on the first oasis that may
present itself, whether it be formed by a new division of the story, or suddenly
indicated by the appearance of a dialogue. Animated, therefore, by apprehensions
such as these, we hasten to assure them that in no instance will the localities of
our story trench upon the limits of the well-worn Forum, or mount the arches of
the exhausted Colosseum. It is with the beings, and not the buildings of old Rome,
that their attention is to be occupied. We desire to present them with a picture of
the inmost emotions of the times--of the living, breathing actions and passions of
the people of the doomed Empire. Antiquarian topography and classical
architecture we leave to abler pens, and resign to other readers.
It is, however, necessary that the sphere in which the personages of our story are
about to act should be in some measure indicated, in order to facilitate the
comprehension of their respective movements. That portion of the extinct city
which we design to revive has left few traces of its existence in the modern town.
Its sites are traditionary--its buildings are dust. The church rises where the temple
once stood, and the wine-shop now lures the passing idler where the bath invited
his ancestor of old.
The walls of Rome are in extent, at the present day, the same as they were at the
period of which we now write. But here all analogy between the ancient and
modern city ends. The houses that those walls were once scarcely wide enough to
enclose have long since vanished, and their modern successors occupy but a third
of the space once allotted to the capital of the Empire.
Beyond the walls immense suburbs stretched forth in the days of old. Gorgeous
villas, luxurious groves, temples, theatres, baths-- interspersed by colonies of
dwellings belonging to the lower orders of the people--surrounded the mighty
city. Of these innumerable abodes hardly a trace remains. The modern traveller,
as he looks forth over the site of the famous suburbs, beholds, here and there, a
ruined aqueduct, or a crumbling tomb, tottering on the surface of a pestilential
The present entrance to Rome by the Porta del Popolo occupies the same site as
the ancient Flaminian Gate. Three great streets now lead from it towards the
southern extremity of the city, and form with their tributaries the principal portion
of modern Rome. On one side they are bounded by the Pincian Hill, on the other
by the Tiber. Of these streets, those nearest the river occupy the position of the

BeschreibungThe Paris Commune of 1871 is one of the great romantic failures in revolutionary history. Yet very little is known about its enemies, and especially the army, which first fraternized with the revolutionaries and then, two months later, crushed them with the utmost violence. This book, based on extensive archival research, is the first serious study of the role of the army in the civil war. It examines its composition and organization, its weaknesses and their effect on government policy, the steps taken to improve morale and discipline, the state of mind of officers and men and, finally, the conduct of the army in battle and the causes of the final bloodshed, in which about 20,000 Parisians were killed in the fighting or executed afterwards. Its purpose is to cast new light on the policy of the government and the problems of using an army in a civil war, and to tell for the first time the full tragedy of the suppression of the Comune, one of the bloodiest and least understood social conflicts in the history of modern Europe.

Oct 29 2012
Before the rain began on Saturday I took a walk in Schenley Park to check on the birds.
In addition to a flock of thousands of robins and starlings near Anderson Playground, I found American goldfinches foraging high in a stand of red oak trees. They seemed to be picking things off the backs of the leaves. At ground level I heard the sound of raindrops ticking on the dry leaf litter — but it wasn't raining. The goldfinches were dropping the shells.
I collected a leaf and took its picture. Here you see the brown bumps the goldfinches were cracking open. They look like tiny acorns.
In fact, they're galls. When I searched the web to identify them, I learned from the University of Minnesota's Department of Entomology that there are more than 700 species of gall-forming insects in the US and Canada and 80% of them use oaks (read about it here).
Though I can't tell you which species, I think these are cynipid wasp galls.
{NOTE on 12/12/12: Today Charley Eiseman at BugTracks wrote, "I believe these are actually among the few oak galls that are not caused by cynipid wasps–they look to me like the work of Polystepha globosa, a midge (Cecidomyiidae)." He knows much more than I do! The news has derailed my paragraphs below about cynipid wasps, but they're still interesting even though they don't apply in this case. This link has more information about the midge.}
The tiny wasps, harmless to humans, lay their eggs on oak leaves. Their eggs emit chemicals that stimulate the leaves to grow covers around the eggs. This protects the larvae until they're ready to emerge — unless a goldfinch finds them.
Each species of cynipid wasp uses a different site on the oak (root, twig, leaf) and specializes in particular species of oaks. The most amazing wasp is the one that becomes the jumping oak leaf gall. The female lays eggs on white oak leaf buds in the spring. When the larvae reach an active stage in early summer they jostle inside the galls and the galls fall off the leaves. The larvae are so active that the galls jump on the sidewalk like Mexican jumping beans. This summer they created a stir in Illinois.
Too bad these aren't jumping oak leaf galls.
Thanks to the goldfinches I learned something new today.

I became intrigued and found this video of the "jumping galls" … kinda cool …
# Kayon 29 Oct 2012 at 8:51 am
I have seen these on oak leaves but never knew what they were. I have a question off the subject, why are there so many robins at this time of the year. I didn't see many of them this summer, but Saturday was a revolving door at both of my birdbaths. A line up waiting to use the birdbath, much like cars waiting to get in the car wash. At least 8 or 9 on the patio at one time "hunting". Is this like the starlings gathering and getting ready to migrate? You start each of my days off on the right foot with an interesting story. Thanks.
# Kate St. Johnon 29 Oct 2012 at 9:37 am
Kay, at this time of year migrating robins spend about 2 months at Pittsburgh's latitude before heading further south. Their numbers can build to 100,000 by the end of the year. Here are two blogs with more information:

Thanks! I have always wondered about those bumps on leaves, and now I know.

I believe these are actually among the few oak galls that are not caused by cynipid wasps–they look to me like the work of Polystepha globosa, a midge (Cecidomyiidae).
# Kate St. Johnon 12 Dec 2012 at 2:30 pm
I can see from your blog that you're an expert on galls and midges. I defer to your judgement and will alter my blog entry to point out your comment. Thanks for letting me know.

Please sit down for a minute and read this whole email if you sell ANYTHING online:
This will especially interest you if you use WordPress at all...because Premise makes landing pages from your WordPress site!
I'm gonna give you a Sumo-crash-course on landing pages and why you need one if you sell something online.
Without explaining all the science behind it...here's a REALLLY quick outline on landing pages:
Basically I'm showing you that "Long, Single-Paged" landing pages usually SELL YOUR STUFF BETTER than a normal page.
The problem most people face is they don't know how to make a proper sales page.
There's a whole science behind it...but you can skip learning all that with a cheat sheet that Premise gives you (it tells you exactly HOW to write and what questions to answer for the customer that are PROVEN to get higher conversions).
Now A LOT of people are super-interested when I tell them they can create landing pages in a few minutes...INSIDE WORDPRESS...but they always have tons questions...so let's answer them right here:
Question 1: So what exactly is Premise? Is it a service I pay for?
Answer 1: Premise is software for WordPress powered by an incredible API. And you only pay a one-time fee for the software, copywriting advice, graphics, conversion optimization seminars and more. Once you're set up with Premise, you're ready to create amazing landing pages right from your WordPress admin area, and you'll never pay another dime after purchase.
Question 2: "But Suuumooooo...I already have a custom WordPress theme...I can't use Premise!!"
Answer 2: Shut your mouth hole...because Premise works independently of your current WordPress theme. So no matter what theme you use...you can still use Premise without funk-ifying your current layout.
Premise makes landing pages outside your WordPress theme...so no matter what you change on the landing pages...your WordPress theme is never touched.
Question 3: What if I don't have a full WordPress site...and just want a landing page for something I'm selling?
Answer 3: Guess what Bubba...Premise can be your whole site. Just install WordPress and the Premise plugin, and your site can be just one landing page (AND you can use Premise on as many sites as you want).
Ok...so Premise can make a Sales Page for you...but what if you don't necessarily sell something...but rather need a landing page for something else? Well fill your brain with THIS...
Premise makes ALL THESE kinds of landing pages for you instantly:
Yea...that means if you have a WordPress site online...Premise is PROOOBABLY *hint hint* something you want for increased conversions on anything (sales, email opt-ins etc).
Think of how much Premise could help your site...and then think of the measly price we're selling it at right now.
This is a FANTASTIC value and a MUST HAVE plugin for WordPress (and your business)!
Make your first landing page within the next few minutes of clicking "Buy Now"
Premise was a plugin that sounded great. I installed it and played with it a bit, but got busy (1 person business) and didn't touch it for probably months. When I sat down to get serious with it, I realized that the pages it created were horribly designed, and I was going to have to create page designs myself using their interface. Not only that, but sales copy was laborious to tailor to my business, despite the ease of that being central to the product. Returned more than 60 days later after uninstalling; will never use it.

Damian Farrow and Justin Kemp take a look at the evolution of Australian football.
Remember when the AFL was the VFL and players discussing the problems of travel were referring to an away game against Geelong? The rate of change in football has most certainly kept pace with modern life.
The conclusion of the 2003 AFL season provides an excellent opportunity to review how the game has progressed in contemporary times.
Not surprisingly, football-mad sports scientists from the University of South Australia and the South Australian Sports Institute have attempted to quantify the evolution of Australian football. Their research was based on detailed video analysis of the 1961, 1971, 1981 and 1997 grand finals, chosen as games representative of the style of play for that decade.
The four games were analysed to quantify a series of events that characterise a typical game. This included the time of play, which was defined as all play periods interrupted only by the umpires for a ball-up, throw-in, set shot for goal and score. Additionally, the elapsed time between the occurrence of a mark, free, out of bounds, goal, point, set shot for goal, and ball-up, and subsequent play-on, were also recorded.
Of most concern is that the game is rapidly moving towards the style of American football. That is, play now represents less than half of total game-time. This reduced playing time was in part attributed to the umpires; specifically, it now takes 67 per cent longer to restart the game in a ball-up situation compared with 40 years ago. What took a mere 8.5 seconds in 1961 took 14.2 seconds in 1997.
Similarly, market forces dictate umpires must wait for the television coverage to return from commercial breaks before restarting after goals.
The player's skill levels and movement characteristics are also integral to the changes. Particularly evident is that almost every aspect of the game from the player's perspective is faster. The time taken to dispose of the ball after a mark (less than five seconds) or free kick (less than 10 seconds) has decreased dramatically. The exception is that the average time players spend taking a set shot for goal has increased by an average of 54 per cent. This was explained by an increase in set shots taken, due to players being able to kick from further out, and the impact of sports psychology on pre-kick routines.
The average physical characteristics of the players were also collated. The most interesting finding was that the height of the tallest players is increasing at a significantly faster rate than that of the average for the shortest players. If their respective growth rates continue, the three tallest players in a team will average 213 centimetres by 2050.
Justin Kemp is the exercise physiologist at the Australian Catholic University. Damian Farrow is the skill acquisition specialist at the Australian Institute of Sport. Their new sports science book, 'Run Like You Stole Something', has just been released through Allen & Unwin publishing.

Rugby players were the stars of the show at the recent Moschino Men's Fall 2011 Collection runway. Players suited up to show off Moschino's new collection, filled with rugby shirts, shorts and sports coats.
Getting a rugby player to model a rugby-inspired collection only makes sense. I'm really digging the coats and shorts in this collection. The shorts are definitely athletic-inspired but still look stylish enough to be worn around town. Spring and summer may be right around the corner, but I find myself looking forward to fall after seeing the Moschino Men's Fall 2011 Collection.

Has anyone ever orderd queens from Bostic Hills Farm, and how did they do?
Has anyone ever orderd queens from Bostic Hills Farm, and how did they do?
Bostic Hills is very unprofessional. My husband ordered bees from them for Christmas 2012 with a March shipment date. March passed with no word and no bees. After contacting Janet, I was assured the first Monday in April. Again no call and no bees. After trying to reach her for a week, I got a lame excuse about needing 2 mre weeks to ship out my bees. I declined and asked for a refund. I still have not received that either. Please avoid Janet.
Thanks very much
ordered feb. 2013, still no queens, no response, nor a refund. I have tried getting up with her, no answer.
As I said in the other post about them. I orders some, she never replied to emails or phone calls. Luckily I paid through paypal and got my money back. I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. Customer service says a lot.
All beekeepers can agree on one thing, and that one thing is, that all beekeepers can't agree on one thing.
I had the same problem back in 2011. A month later when the queens arrived half were dead and it took another month to get the dead ones replaced. She will never get any more business from me.
I ordered back early spring, after got me hooked never heard again. I payed in advance by credit card by pay pal, so after del. time had passed I got hold of the daughter sayed having lots trouble I was next some was hatching out the next day would ship right away, they are supposed to be mated ready to go . I said no thanks give me my money back. right away I filled complaint with cc two week money refunded never again
what does the cc mean. is janet parker really a beekeeper, I would have never thought a fellow beekeeper would be this shady. very bad business. thanks again
I would assume CC=Credit Card.Don't be fooled there are a lot of shady ones out there. Stick with the larger companies unless you know them personaly.
All beekeepers can agree on one thing, and that one thing is, that all beekeepers can't agree on one thing.
Ordered via web site on April 30, order acknowledged the next day. Then, poof: no bees, no email response, no phone answer, no voice mail reply.. I can get my money back but, dang, now I'm three weeks down the calendar and have to start over sourcing Queens. Darn woman, if you aren't going to fulfill the orders, be honest and communicate.
Don't know how this woman has lasted this long she dosen't deliver at all and still she stays on here selling bees and queens she is a ripoff
This thread looks like it may have saved me some trouble.
There are no bad questions, only bad people.
No ma'am that ain't my bee, all my bees is branded.
I'm not sure but I think Barry was responding to "Stays on Here". As in BS.
The Bees are the Beekeepers
Yes, where on Beesource is she selling bees?
Regards, Barry
I've had pretty good success with Queens from Bostic Hills Farm. The queens turned out to be some of the best I've had! Yes there have been delays related to weather, but that's been the case with all suppliers I've ever dealt with.

France's Defense Ministry has posted online hundreds of documents from the trial of Alfred Dreyfus, the Jewish soldier whose wrongful espionage conviction was a determinant in the genesis of political Zionism.
The historical department of the French Ministry of Defense, SHD, placed online this week the entire military file that was used to convict Dreyfus of spying for Germany in 1894. The documents include items like investigative notes, witness statements, letters and documents stolen from foreign embassies.
Among the dozens of foreign correspondents covering the Dreyfus trial, which featured strong themes of anti-Semitism, was Theodor Herzl, who was then a reporter for the Vienna New Free Press. Two years after founding the Zionist Organization, now called the World Zionist Organization, Herzl wrote in 1899 that the Dreyfus case was what made him a Zionist.
Dreyfus was pardoned and restored to the army as a major after a lengthy court battle and nearly five years of solitary confinement on Devil's Island, the notorious penal colony in French Guiana; he had been sentenced to life in prison.
The case was widely denounced as a miscarriage of justice, most notably in "J'accuse," an open letter by Émile Zola published on the front page of the newspaper L'Aurore in 1898.
The archived files from the trial have been scanned, transcribed and made accessible to the general public online with the help of the authors of a new book about the trial titled "Le dossier secret de l'affaire Dreyfus."

- Impartial pensions and Isa tips without the financial jargon
- Your one-stop shop for all money matters
Car insurance premiums are rising sharply so it's more important than ever to choose your policy carefully. But it's not just a case of picking the cheapest one. Let Moneywise help with our Buyers' Guide.
Car insurance is so expensive it's tempting to cut corners, but there are plenty of ways to save money without cutting your cover.
Compare deals at price comparison sites, but don't blindly plump for the cheapest - you may not get the cover you want. Third-party is often cheaper, but fully-comp provides more peace of mind.
Make sure you check the excess and whether you'll get a courtesy car if yours is off the road.
To save money watch the number of miles you do - some insurers reward low mileage customers with cheaper premiums.
It's also worth paying for your insurance upfront as most charge interest if you pay monthly.
Adding another driver to your policy - female, or older and more experienced can also save you cash.
Young drivers may get cheaper premiums by taking a 'pass plus test' or choosing a company with a special 'pay as you drive' scheme aimed at new motorists.
Some policies let you protect your no-claims discount for a fee, so even if you claim, your no-claims record remains intact.
Even if you've made several claims you should still be able to get cover. Speak to a broker if your history is causing you problems.
Once you're covered be mindful of claiming for small prangs - even if you're not at fault. Insurers don't like claims of any sort and may charge you more next year.
And when your cover is up for renewal shoparound. If you haven't claimed, moved or changed your car your premiums should go down, but the chances are they won't.
I got driving licence a week ago which insurance policy is best to me my age is 41 years
Hi Dan
I assume from your question that you have just passed your driving test if this is the case you will be paying top price for your insurance. I would suggest the first thing you need to do is use the comparison web sites ie gocompare.com or comparethe market.com there are others which I have not mentioned which you could also try. It will also depend on the car you wish to drive as a new car will cost more to insure than an old banger,dont forget to also try Aviva insurance and direct Line as these two companys are not listed on comaprison sites.

Tue, 6 Nov 2012 05:46:25 -0800 (PST)
Dear all,
Good day!
I have a problem in appending my data files.
I wrote a loop but there is little problem that I don't know how to resolve it.
Your help will be appreciated.
I use stata MP 11.
The problem is that I have 30 files in a folder named S0 through S1. I want to have a final file named for example "Total" including a new variable as an indicator for observations of each of 30 separate files.
I wrote my file as :
forvalues i= 0/29 {
append using "C:\Total85\S`i'.dta" ,
gen Province=`i'
save "C:\Total85\Total.dta", replace
but the code stops at the first step alarming:
. do "C:\Users\AK\AppData\Local\Temp\STD00000000.tmp"
. forvalues i= 0/29 {
2. append using "C:\Total85\S`i'.dta" ,
3. gen Province=`i'
4. save "C:\Total85\Total.dta", replace
5. }
file C:\Total85\Total.dta saved
Province already defined
end of do-file
The Total file just includes observation from the S0.
Would you please help me to modify my codes?
Bunch of thanks,

Nov 10, 2012 at 5:54 am #1295919
I got to spend some quality time with one of NEMO's Siren quilts this fall. I think it is a pretty good job for their first try.
I have a review of it here:
I had to stop using it as it is deer season now (I don't go out until it is done) and it will be too cold once I start back up next month.Nov 10, 2012 at 6:21 am #1927469

@mikefaedundeeLocale: Under a bush in Scotland
Good review Ray.
The 'horizontal' line of the footbox end looks as if it might let in cold air as you turn. Did you find any difference in that regard? My quilts have the usual 'vertical split' at the end of the footbox.Nov 10, 2012 at 7:43 am #1927483
You know Mike I was wondering that myself as all of my other quilts have been more of a V instead of straight across. But I did not recommend changing it in the review because I never had any issues with it.
Most of my use was in CA and the weather warmed up right as I got there so I really didn't have it at the low end much. Next spring I should see some lower temps to get a better idea of how it does at or below 30.Nov 10, 2012 at 7:57 am #1927485

@mikefaedundeeLocale: Under a bush in Scotland
It's maybe not an issue. Like yourself, i'm a restless side sleeper, so quilts were a prayer answered when i discovered them.
Good to see a mainstream manufacturer taking quilts seriously, though maybe our cottage guys wont be so happy. It seems quite expensive for a mass produced product though.Nov 10, 2012 at 8:12 am #1927486
I have a feeling that material is pretty spendy.
I think they have it priced at the upper-middle and can see it for what they are using. I just posted a review of my children's GoLite quilts and see that they are saying theirs have an MSRP of $400.00 now. That is crazy. ;-)Nov 12, 2012 at 1:35 pm #1927820

Nice review and nice quilt Ray! Thank you for posting this.Apr 11, 2014 at 3:14 pm #2092019
Hi Ray,
Just wondering how you got on with this quilt, any issue with the Synethic fill degrading, or the lack of top draw cord?
StephenApr 11, 2014 at 4:03 pm #2092036
@stephen… the fill is 850 down, so should have pretty good longevity if treated right. I have an old (+25 years!) 650 down bag (Campmor +20) that is still in excellent shape, but a bit heavy by today's standards.
Based in large part on a Ray's review and the rave reviews from some other advocates of the quilt system, I decided to spend part of my REI dividend (plus the 20% discount!) on a Siren. First impression is that it is an extremely high quality product with a generous fill volume that compresses very nicely. Although the outer and inner shells are incredibly light and supple, I am not too concerned about longevity because I have always been very "easy" on gear. I just stuffed it in the pack bottom with no stuff sack and the weight of the other pack items flatten it with no effort at all.
I have not used it in the field yet but plan to in the next couple of weeks, in combination with a NeoAir Xlite. I will post some more observations after some actual experience using it.Apr 11, 2014 at 5:01 pm #2092059
Hi Bob,
Thanks for the reply. I had also got on on sale from REI on sale with dividend.
I am going to see how it looks at home, and then either return it or bring it on a trip in 2 weeks time.
Do you think the loft is even through out the quilt, do the baffles seem well filled?
StephenApr 11, 2014 at 6:22 pm #2092094
I think that at the very least you are going to be impressed enough with it to give it a couple of nights in the field.
The fully blocked baffles are about 8 inches square. The fill distribution is quite even in my sample.
Somebody in one review I read complained that the down cannot be shifted around to put more on top, less on bottom, but I think the coverage will be totally adequate for a 30 deg bag that weighs 19 ounces. I actually prefer the fixed baffles without down shifting. With a down hood and sleeping in other jackets or clothing layers, I am sure I could be comfortable down to 20 deg or perhaps lower. But, as you noted above, the lack of a top drawstring might be a limiting factor there, but I won't know for sure this season.
When it gets colder, I have a Marmot Plasma 15 which works great well below 15 deg in concert with other layering items such Montbell hooded down jacket and TEC down pants. Those things REALLY extend the temp rating – very comfortable near zero.
BobApr 11, 2014 at 7:22 pm #2092120
Hi Bob,
Like you I really appreciate keeping the down in place. The lack of drawcord is probably not a big issue for me, as I plan to use it either under a 50f or 30f Enlightened Equipment Prodigy, to give a 20f or 0f rating respectively.
For stupid cold temps I have a WM Alpinelite and Puma so this is more of an experiment.Apr 12, 2014 at 5:17 pm #2092363
Looking forward to comparing notes in a couple of weeks, Stephen.
I will also be using for the first time a Zpacks Hexamid Duplex and Arc Blast 52L.Apr 12, 2014 at 5:38 pm #2092368
Hi Bob,
Mine is due in on tuesday, if it passes muster I will try it out on a trip next week.
:-)Apr 12, 2014 at 6:40 pm #2092379
Stephen, looks as if you will get a test drive sooner than I will.
The "problem" here in southern NY is that it is warming up rather quickly after the prolonged winter, so the need for a 30deg bag is rapidly diminishing. I have a MH Phantom 45 which will suffice very soon.
Just wondering, where is "a very flat place"?Apr 12, 2014 at 6:52 pm #2092384
A "very flat place" is central Michigan.
Its still fairly cold here at night, temps of the lows 20's this week.Apr 14, 2014 at 3:03 pm #2092947
Hi Bob,
The a Siren arrived. It does look nice but I am going to send it back as its not long enough for me.Apr 15, 2014 at 6:01 pm #2093424
Stephen, I also though it might be too short at first, but going back and reading Raymond's evaluation I noted that he is 6'3" (-ish?) 225lb and found it adequate as an experienced quilt user, so I will give it a try on a quick overnighter 4/18-19.
Although I have zero experience with quilts, I'm thinking I might experiment by replacing the static draw cord with a light shock cord. If I recall correctly, Raymond removed it altogether.Apr 15, 2014 at 6:11 pm #2093428
Hi Bob,
Hope it works out for you :-)Apr 22, 2014 at 4:56 pm #2095394
Hi, Stephen:
I just wanted to let you know that I used the quilt and it worked very well down to 34*F. Although there was the occasional draft around the shoulders I did not get cold, mainly because of the layers in which I sleep and the fact that I am accustomed to sleeping in much colder temperatures.
I can imagine that for somebody taller (I am 5'9") I can see how it might be considered too short (altho plenty long for me), but I am keeping in mind that using a quilt is a lot different from using a sleeping bag. For this first foray into quiltdom I followed the mfgr guide and inserted the NeoAir xlite (regular 72" length) into the quilt with the cross-crossing cord cinched up only enough to keep the edges of the quilt under the sleep pad. Somehow, some way, the cord lock on mine was broken, but it was easy enough to tie a simple overhand knot to achieve the same thing. I did not use the snaps to snug up the top part of the quilt because I tried it temporarily and it was too restrictive for my tastes. As it turned out, however, the bag is so supple that when I turned on my side (I toss and turn a lot when I sleep) the bag just draped around my shoulders and kept drafts to a minimum.
What I did find rather cumbersome was getting into the quilt, which – with the criss-crossing cord cinched properly for the sleeping pad – required me to sit at the head of the pad, insert legs into the top of the quilt/pad combo, then worm and wiggle my way down into the sleep system. Not a huge deal, but a new experience.
A couple of things I am thinking of trying later: 1) do like Ray and remove the cords altogether 2) use some light shock cords crossing straight across the quilt to the corresponding eyelets, tensioned only enough to keep the quilt edges in line with the pad.
Overall, I am very happy with my first experience using a quilt. I feel that the 30*F temperature rating is accurate, and am sure that I could have slept with one or two fewer layers (I use very light layers) and remained very comfortable. The Siren compresses down to a very small in the bottom of the pack with simply the weight of items on top of it. I used the stock stuff sack, which is very light except for the stiff nylon strap and buckles used for closure, and will try it with a Zpacks Cuben dry bag. But it might be a few months before I use it again in the field because the weather has warmed up considerably of late, hopefully remaining so for several months to come. For the warmer conditions, I have the MH Phantom 45.Apr 22, 2014 at 5:36 pm #2095415
Thats great it worked out for you Bob.
May you have great trips with it.Apr 23, 2014 at 8:47 am #2095556

"use some light shock cords crossing straight across the quilt to the corresponding eyelets, tensioned only enough to keep the quilt edges in line with the pad"
I did that with mine and it works out great also have an EE quilt and do not like the straps so myog it to be the same… so when it gets cold I can adjust it to be tight to the pad, but easy to adjust and get in and out…

…. Providing the opportunity for people and businesses to discriminate is not a legitimate pursuit of faith communities. The potential for harm is too great, and the dignity of too many Rhode Islanders will be put at risk. We categorically stand opposed to using faith as an excuse to legalize discrimination.
We recognize the diversity within the faith community on the issue of marriage equality and we believe the exemptions included in H5015/S38 adequately address the concerns of those denominations that choose not to marry same-sex couples. As we live out our shared values of love and inclusion, marriage equality will allow clergy from supportive faith traditions to provide better pastoral care. We urge the Senate to pass S38 and allow us to marry loving and committed same-sex couples from our congregations.
The Rev. Donald Anderson is executive minister of the Rhode Island State Council of Churches. The Rev. Gene Dyszlewski is chairman of the Religious Rhode Island Religious Coalition for Marriage Equality. The Rt. Rev. W. Nicholas Knisely is the Episcopal bishop of Rhode Island. Bishop James Hazelwood represents the New England Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Rabbi Amy Levin
is president of the Board of Rabbis of Greater Rhode Island.

I remember when I worked in state government that someone was assigned the task of rewriting the licensure rules for nursing homes. The first draft contained something to the effect that no resident could be abused or discriminated against unless it was for religious purposes. WHAT?
Needless to say, that did NOT make it to the second draft. But it surprises me that people think, when it comes to how people should be treated or cared for, it is okay for churches to follow a different set of guidelines than the rest of society under the guise of religious freedom.
Even the civil union law that the General Assembly passed in 2011 is riddled with so many exemptions that it doesn't really protect a couple's rights if a religiously affiliated hospital, school, university, or other institution is involved.

Salman Khan signs TV rights deal with Star India
Salman Khan has signed a deal with Star India network for the television broadcast rights of his upcoming films.
Mumbai: Actor Salman Khan has signed a deal with Star India network for the television broadcast rights of his upcoming Bollywood films. The 47-year-old actor has had a dream run at the box office with each of his last five films making more than a billion rupees in revenue.
"Why not Salman? His last few films have made enough money to equal the GDP of a small nation. He is massive," Hemal Jhaveri, general manager at Star Gold, told Reuters on the phone.
An Economic Times report on Saturday said Khan's deal with Star India was estimated to be in the range of 4.5-5 billion rupees for a period of five years. Star India confirmed the deal but did not give details.
The television network would own exclusive TV broadcast rights to Khan's new films, including Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Kick', the sequel to Anees Bazmee's "No Entry" and Sooraj Barjatya's next.
'Dabangg', Khan's 2010 blockbuster clocked record TRPs when it aired on the network, Jhaveri said.
Television rights form a key part of revenues for Bollywood films and big-ticket projects with leading actors are in demand. Khan's popularity has been on the rise since the success of 'Wanted' in 2009.
His films, which typically release on the Muslim festival of Eid, are runaway hits because of their slapstick humour and Khan's portrayal of a traditional, upright Bollywood hero.
