I have heard of some beekeepers feeding cider vinegar to their bees. What effect does this have? Thanks.
I am new to beekeeping, but have a medical background, and many bacteria and fungi do not fare well in acidic environments. I don't know the answer to your question, but I wonder if it has anything to do with attempting control of disease pathogens??? Hope you find the answer- if you do, let us know, and I will do a search myself on this one. Thanks for the info.
Did any one ever find any info on this. and does any one know of an website or book that tells how to feed it to bees?
[This message has been edited by Got Honey? (edited July 06, 2002).]
I did several searches on this and was able to find only two references to using apple cider vinegar for feeding bees. One of them gave directions for what sounds like a hard candy to feed, and the other was what seems like an organic beekeeping site where the beekeeper said they use apple cider sugar water for feeding early in the season. I'll try to track down the sites I found and post or email them to you if you are interested.
[This message has been edited by dragonfly (edited July 09, 2002).]
I'm very interested, I would like to see how it works.
Well, I found another source mentioning the use of apple cider vinegar in bee sugar water feeding to add minerals to the feeding. I also read a suggestion to add black strap molasses to sugar water to add minerals, but on the other hand, I've read in the generally accepted manuals not to use any kind of molasses, maple syrup etc. Anyone know why? Just curious
I'm speculating here, but the pH (alkalinity/acidity) of honey is more acid and of sugar syrup is more base. Vinegar, obviously is more acid. It may be that the acidity is better for the bees. It's known that it kills a lot of fungus and bacteria that can't handle the higher acidity. Also it may counteract some of the alkalinity of any sugar syrup you've been feeding.
Dragonfly, check out POV on beesource, USDA, item 2. They talk about why certain sugars are bad for bees.
The USDA info you mention says that Pectin is bad for them. Mine eat a lot of Pears, which contain pectin. Also Cider Viniger contains a lot of pectin. Maybe thats a bad thing.
Hey, thanks for pointing me to the POV section. Lots of very helpful information. I find it really interesting that sucrose (table sugar) is superior to honey or other sugars in contributing to a longer life in worker bees. I wonder why? The amount of apple cider vinegar added to the bee feeding solution that I read about is 1-2 TBSP per gallon of feeding. I guess that's not enough to really hurt anything.
I just came from our assocition meeting. One of our members went to the Texas meeting to speak on beggining beekeeping and raising queens without grafting. His host showed them that he does not use smoke at all just straight apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle. He was amazed at how calm the bees became. Has anyone tried this?
The vinegar is just to keep the mold out of the sugar water. It can be regular vinegar or even a few drops of bleach. I wouldn't spray vinegar on the bees. Sugar water sprayed on the bees does calm the bees.
West Texas Mark
So I'm guessing that this acidic environment isn't good for organisms such as mold, et. al. I've also read that honey is slightly acidic, and so it makes sugar water more healthy for the bees. I can't argue with the results I've seen and will be adding it to my honeybee sugared feed too.
The best recommendation for how much apple cider vinegar to add to syrup is "a splash". Which I think must be somewhat more than "a dash." A few posts here suggested it may make the syrup taste and smell better to the bees. It is hard for me to believe that it has much preservative or therapeutic value at that low and ambiguous a concentration. I meant to try it last week but when the raindrops started bouncing off the ground I concluded that it was a mite cold for feeding.
So we put the syrup on this weekend, 2:1 with about a soup spoon of apple cider vinegar per gallon jug. The two larger hives seemed to like it OK, although I've seen them drain a gallon faster.
The acid inverts the sugar to something closer to nectar
What Harley said is why I heard to add it or lemon juice, plus makes the pH more similar to honey.
Started 9/13, building slowly, not trying the no treatment anymore
The add-an-acid to make syrup like honey recommendation keeps appearing. Invert syrup is acid, honey is acid == because fructose has loosely bound H+ and causes an acid reaction in solution.
Bees invert sucrose syrup by adding the enzyme invertase in their crop -- the resulting stored, digested syrup is acid because it has been inverted and contains 25%-50% (or more) fructose.
Vinegar has a penetrating odor, and does indeed invert syrup when added in tiny amounts to catalyze the inversion reaction. It likely induces feeding, just as it induces robbing with spectacular efficiency. Once the inversion of sucrose is started, the reaction continues on its own == because Fructose is acid in reaction and induces the hydrolysis of sucrose with its contributed H+ Cream of tartar (tartaric acid) inverts sugar when used in the sub-gram concentration.
Inverted syrup has higher sugar concentration -- because "hydrolysis" consumes a molecule of H2O for every molecule of sucrose that is divided. The process consumes water (why we call it hydrolysis). The bees don't have to evaporate that molecule, so it is a winner for them.
You can invert the syrup or you can wait for the bees to ingest it and invert it just as effectively.

2 bedroom Holiday Home near Arsita, Teramo, Abruzzo, Italy - Stunning, peaceful location, perfect for escaping and relaxation
The Italian hideaway is exactly that - a quiet peaceful cottage nestled in the rolling hills near to the beautiful medieval village of Arsita. If you are looking for somewhere to escape to, to enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful Italian countryside then this is the place for you! You can relax on the large terrace with a glass of wine and enjoy the stunning views of the hills, mountains, forests and river in the valley below, listening to nothing but the birds and crickets.
The cottage sits in 5 acres of land and is surrounded by olive, fruit and nut trees, it has been beautifully renovated and is fully equipped with everything you will need to enjoy your holiday and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The owners Pete and Clair live on site so are on hand to welcome you when you arrive.
If you enjoy walking, cycling, drawing, photography or birdwatching, this is all available from the cottage or if you want to venture a little further then the mountains of the Abruzzo national park and Gran Sasso mountain range are only a 30 minute drive away, with their many trails and walking paths. The tranquil Adriatic sea is only 40 minutes away and can be reached at the beautiful coastal towns of either Pineto, Monte Silvano or Pescara with their beautiful, long sandy beaches and clear blue water, perfect for swimming, sunbathing or just more relaxing!
The ancient town of Castelli is a short drive away, where you can browse quaint little shops for their world famous, beautifully hand crafted and painted ceramics.
The larger cultural cities of Teramo, Penne and Pescara are all within easy reach and are ideal if you are looking for some retail therapy, or for the ultimate cultural and historical experience then Rome is only a 2 hour drive away on the autostrada where you can visit the Vatican City, the Trevi fountain, the Colosseum, or the Pantheon to name just a few! If you are daunted by the prospect of driving into Rome then there is a local bus service that takes you direct into the heart of Rome and the owners are more than happy to drop you off and collect you from the bus stop which is only a short drive away from the cottage.
Whether you enjoy quiet and seclusion, culture and exploring, soaking up the glorious sunshine, or sampling the delights of Italian food and wine, the Italian hideaway can provide it all.

Peaceful Italian Break
Waking up the next morning - what a view. Just stunning. We had great weather at the start of May, and once you venture further afield the views of the snow capped mountains are even more breathtaking.
The bedroom was a decent size, as was the bed, and the main living room has an open fire, which we used as the thick stone walls means the evenings can get a little chilly indoors. The owners made sure we had plenty of logs, and the bedding was very cosy.
The only thing to be aware of, is the roads are pretty potholed, narrow, windy, steep and in some places, very high up, so if you are not comfortable with heights or a confident driver, it may not be the place for you!
This was perfect for a quiet couples weekend away, with a nearby village a ten minute drive, and Penne a small market town (very pretty) about a 45 minute drive.
The owners (Pete and Clair) were fabulous hosts - really welcoming and friendly and we hope to stay in touch. They have a selection of amazingly tame animals - from Trooper the dog, turkeys, chickens and chicks through to a couple of little rabbits - which bring a little bit of magic to the stay.
About the Owner
About peter fletcher
We are Peter and Clair and we live here with our 12 year old son Callan, our dog and our chickens and turkeys.
Our lifelong dream was to move to Italy, buy a smallholding and to become as self sufficient as possible. This dream became a reality for us when we sold our house in the UK and bought our property in Arsita.
We love life in Italy, we have made some fantastic friends, and the hospitality and generosity of the Italians is amazing, but the things we love the most are the peace, quiet and stunning surroundings.

Peaceful Italian Break
We had a great weekend in the Italian countryside - the cottage is a few yards away from the owner's family house, but feels very self contained and was really clean on arrival. Arriving late is was great to find bread, eggs, milk and a bottle of wine waiting for us.

Real Italian hideaway, spectacular views
Perfect family holiday. Peaceful rural retreat with beautiful views set in the hills. The villa itself was lovely with an open fire and everything you could need. The owners are very friendly and helpful, couldn't do enough. When we arrived there was a bottle of wine, eggs, milk and bread to welcome us. We highly recommend this as a place to stay. It's a good base for visiting all the major sites and the local town is a small drive away.

Schönes Haus auf einem einsamen Hügel am Ostabhang des Mt. Camicia/Abruzzen
Dieses wirklich schöne Haus liegt in den Hügeln der Ostabhänge des "Gran Sasso" mit schönem Blick auf weitere Hügel und Arsità. Nur leider sehr schwer zu finden und gute 10 Min. mit dem Auto von der nächsten Ortschaft entfernt. Überhaupt die Zufahrt: Sehr schwierig zu finden, wenn man von Arsità kommt, muß man weiter oben umdrehen, da man sonst nicht in die wirklich sehr enge Zufahrt rein fahren kann. Außerdem bräuchte man fast ein höher gelegtes Auto/SUV, da der Weg sehr ausgewaschen und steil ist! Das Haus ist für 6 Personen gedacht, aber dann wird es sehr eng, am besten für eine Familie mit 2 Kindern oder 2 Paare, da es 2 getrennte Schlafzimmer gibt, aber nur 1 Bad mit Dusche und WC. Die Kinder sollten etwas größer sein, da das Haus an einem sehr steilen Hang gebaut wurde. Für Tagesausflüge ist es auch nicht sehr geeignet, da man schon einmal 25 Min. nach Castelli braucht, auf den Campo Imperatore eine 3/4 Std., nach Teramo braucht man eine volle Stunde und das alles auf sehr engen und kurvigen Nebenstraßen, die in einem sehr schlechten Zustand sind! Die Ausstattung ist gut, alles sehr neu und gut gepflegt, der Vermieter wohnt im Nebenhaus und ist sehr freundlich ( englische Sprachkenntnisse erforderlich!) Trotz dem Handicap der schlechten Zufahrt war es ein angenehmer Aufenthalt, ich würde es schon weiter empfehlen, aber unter der Einschränkung der schwierigen Zufahrt! Das Schild mit dem Hinweis auf die Ferienwohnung darf der Vermieter nicht oben an der Einfahrt aufstellen, das untersagt die Gemeinde Arsità, da die Eigentumsverhältnisse des Grundstückes oben an der Straße ungekärt sind! In Arsità gibt es einen Supermarkt, Restaurants, Bars, eine Post und einen Bancomat. Wir waren einmal Essen in der Pizzeria "Collina di Cacciatore" mit sehr guten Pizzen und ital. Hausmannskost, Preis-Leistungsverhältnis sehr gut, aber auch erst nach 2 x Nachfragen gefunden!
Wie schon weiter oben geschrieben, braucht man unbedingt ein Auto, es gibt zwar öffentlichen Nahverkehr, aber sehr rar, lauter Bedarfshaltestellen, wahrscheinlich für die Schulkinder!
Activity and Interests

Further Details:
The sleepy hillside village of Arsita is less than a 10 minute drive and has amenities including 2 supermarkets, chemist, bank, post office, bars and very good local restaurants. The friendly town of Bisenti is a further 10 minutes drive away, the larger historic towns of Penne and Teramo are within easy driving distance, and the local area is dotted with quaint, medieval hilltop villages, including Castelli which is world famous for it's ceramics .

Divisive MRA Board of Directors Election All About Change
© 2017, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

Copyright 2001, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

The 2001 MRA Board of Directors election is all about change in the Colorado-based club, and the focus is on the battle for Vice President of Rules and Tech.

Long-time MRA racer and sponsor Jay Sherritt is running for the position and blasted the status quo in the October issue of the MRA newsletter, which carried election information and ballots.

In his statement, Sherritt said, "...if, for example, it were to turn out that a rule was inadvertently changed because I didn't know of a supplement to the rulebook, and if I found that various officers and board members had offered a false explanation to members to justify the change, instead of huddling and trying to find a way to conceal the truth and intentionally exclude members who know better, I will go to the members with the truth first, and then, once the playing field has been leveled, reintroduce the topic and invite those who are opposed to speak their piece. I will not tolerate club officers, board members or their family members racing motorcycles that do not meet class suitability requirements. Board members have an appearance of undue influence over racing decisions, and therefore they must be held to a higher standard..."

Charges aside, change is guaranteed in the MRA election since most current Board members are not running for relection. Non-incumbent Jay Sherritt is running against non-incumbent Bart McKiernan, while non-incumbents Leah Sherritt (Jay's wife) and Andrew Drattlo are running for President. Non-incumbents Mark Schellinger and Ricky Orlando are running for New Rider Director, and non-incumbents Gina Fallon, CPA Marc Levin and Doug Lyle are running for Secretary, Treasurer and Track Marshall, respectively.

Official ballots must be received by the MRA by November 13 to be counted.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Barack Obama showed some presidential support for small businesses on Saturday, when he stopped at a local Washington bookstore for a spot of holiday shopping.
His visit to the Politics and Prose independent bookstore came on "Small Business Saturday" – a growing movement that encourages shoppers to support local merchants.
America's Thanksgiving holiday is followed by Black Friday, which sees throngs of often-frenzied consumers swamp large stores in search of steep discounts.
Accompanied by his teenaged daughters Sasha and Malia, Obama bought 17 books for readers of varying ages, including "Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth and Faith in the New China," by Evan Osnos, and "Brown Girl Dreaming," a book of verse telling the story of author Jacqueline Woodson's childhood.
When Obama jokingly asked for a discount, a store clerk said he could have a "neighbour's discount." The bookstore is a few miles north of the White House.
At one point, a person in the crowd shouted something about the Guantanamo Bay military prison, to which Obama said: "We're working on it. Any other issues?"
Obama has promised to close the prison, but more than 100 inmates remain.

What are analysts saying about Reynolds American stock? Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Reynolds American stock: 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Estimates are largely stable ahead of its first quarter 2017 results. Meanwhile, we note that Reynolds reported positive surprise during the fourth quarter 2016, after reporting negative surprises in the preceding two quarters. The shares of Reynolds have also outperformed the Zacks categorized Tobacco industry in the last one year. Further, investors are looking forward towards the highly anticipated Reynolds-British American merger which has recently received approval from Japan. However, high excise tax and anti-smoking regulations remain its headwinds. Though the Newport brand has been performing strongly, Reynolds is losing share in Moist Snuff segment and the performance of Camel brand also remains under pressure. The company continues to struggle due to increased competition in the vapor category, declining volumes and strict anti-smoking regulations." (5/2/2017) 2. Goldman Sachs Group Inc analysts commented, "We see fading earnings momentum for RAI as (1) US cigarette industry volume declines revert back to the historical rate of decline; (2) Deal synergies are likely to run out by end of 2016; and (3) RAI faces ~$250 million higher settlement costs (or 5 percent of EPS) in 2017," analyst Judy Hong wrote in a note.On the volume front, Hong sees the U.S. cigarette industry volume decline reverting back to historical -2 percent to -4 percent levels as favoring trends of cheaper gas, wage growth, and benign excise taxes have started to fade."We see industry declines of 2 percent in the near term and closer to 3 percent in the out-years, with potential downside risk if Next Generation Products (NGP) gain more momentum," (9/12/2016) Who are some of Reynolds American's key competitors?

Georgeous home in historic Downtown Waynesville NC. The boutique rooms have been decorated beautifully and comfortably for your relaxation. The wrap-around porch is such a serene spot to sit; talk and enjoy a nice glass of wine. With 2 + acres there is plenty of room to enjoy the great outdoors. Picturesque landscaping with a beautiful creek winding through the property. If your visiting in the winter; bring your coat & gloves because we have the perfect hill for snow tubing!!!. Our property is also great for reunions or a small corporate retreat. Ask about our wedding and reception packages.
I am a local girl, most of my family still resides here. I moved to Texas for twenty years, but moved back home in 1999. I loved Texas, but could never get the feeling of these mountains out of my soul. For me there is nothing like hiking in these Smokies and riding my motorcycle.
Charlie purchased this farmhouse in 2000
This property is so unique and warm. It has over 100 years of history and you can feel it. It takes people back to a easier time and to their childhood memories. Isn't that what we all want? Its like visiting Grandma's house.
The large wrap around porch is a great spot to sit and talk with your family and freinds; while enjoying a cold glass of tea or nice glass of wine. There is plenty of land to walk, play games or to wade in the creek. Or you can just sit on the rustic bridge and day dream. In the winter we have our own hill for your snow tubing adventures!! If you like to shop you are only minutes from some of the greatest shopping in WNC......Waynesville also hosts some of the best award winning restaurants in the a must try.
Beautiful location, lovely porch, easy walk into town. Home was built in early 1900's, so expect some old fashioned claw foot tubs and charming kitchen sink. We enjoyed our stay, and would love to come back. House needs a little TLC, small updates would make it even more special. The owner was easy to contact, and remedied any concerns very quickly. Great house for a group of 8, plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the home and the view from the front porch.
Located in the heart of the Great Smoky and the Blue Ridge Mountains, Waynesville is a quaint historic town with beautiful views, shops, restaurants and festivals all through the summer and fall. Winter skiing is only 15 minutes away.
The Farmhouse is only 30 minutes west of Asheville NC. Home of the Biltmore Estate. Ask us about our wedding packages!!
The entire area abounds with activities: fly fishing, walking, waterfalls, bird-watching, craft shows, motorcycle riding, whitewater rafting, botanical gardens, mountain biking, skiing, sledding....
Maggie valley is a short 10 minute drive. Cherokee casino is 30 minutes east.
In the winter you can snow tube on the hill right in front of the house. How fun is that!!!!!

Sam: 1 week laterMature
They didn't even bother training us for another week. We where shipped onto this battle crusier / O.D.P.U ship yeah screwed up. Anyways we are crammed into the square cubicles which are your Drop Pod. Your are not to leave your drop pod. And ontop of how uncomtrable a drop pod is you are to stay with your sqaud. My seargent is named Qaurnag , fresh from training , The corporall name was Tbunk also fresh from training. The rest of us where privates with only the knowledge how to shoot reload and obey orders. To be honest I was scared we where being shipped to a war planet called Talyn. There The E.D.M.D are fighting these alien military called Borgents. Not much information was given to me how they looked or how they fought just how viciouse they are.
A computer voice said , " Orbital drop in 2 minutes. Please breath through hoses as pod administers shock gell. Good luck."
Wow did a computer just wish me luck? The Pod began to fill with this blue gell and these masks came out of the ceiling. After this pods lands my lifes is sure to meet it end. I put the mask one and waited for pod release.
The two minutes went by slowly the gell filled the pod to cielling. The the pod was dropped. for the next several minutes in the pod was a warm because of entry to the atmosphere. The wieghtlessness was very diorienting too. The we hit the ground the legs of the pod gave and gell cushioned us. The Gell was then blown out of the pod and the fighting Began.
I put my visor down with it was giving me information of the field it looked like we're taking heavy fire from all sides.
" All right troop! Move!" Commaned sargent Quarnug. I ran out the door to see this blackened smoky landscape burnt by the war. Plama bolts where coming from all directions I took cover by my pod enterance I couldn't see the enemy. As the sargent and corporall came out of the pod the where shot and killed.
That did not surprise me. The rest of the squad stared blankly in fear.
" Come on hold your rifle like a man. Let's die with dignity and Honor!" I encouraged them.
taking aim and shooting in the direction of the opposing plasma bolts. Suddenly 8 foot lizards with massive muscles and rifles jumped from the smoke shooting at our pod.
" Hold your posistion." I insisted firing my rifle trying not to run away myself.
I took the first Lizard beast down. The rest of the squad followed my lead. But when we had to reload our weapons we lost our third man.
" Fuck we are all going to die." One of the others screamed in fear. I was nearly finished reloading when a Battle hardened sargent jumped from the smoke pegging each of the Lizards in the head.
" Sargent Sven boreal. Where's your sargent Privat!" He spat at me.
" Dead." I said.
" Your the new Sargent then." Sven said , " Now pick a coporall and get your squad to take that turret on the hill giving us hell!" he ordered
A little shocked at my so called promotion. I turned to the my squad who looked like that death would be kindness to them. I pointed at the one with no fear.
" Your the new corporall, Name!" I ordered with the most sargent sounding voice I could think of.

Let's draw freely, by means of a plotter that is easy to make, using the same electronic board present in our 3Drag printer.
The vertical plotter is a kind of printer that is very much appreciated by professionals, since it does not print but draws by means of pens, and exactly in the same way a person would do with his hand; it allows to draw diagrams and sketches of various kind and with the maximum resolution, since it composes texts and images with a continuous line (and not with a dot matrix, as the impact, laser and inkjet printers do).
Today we would like to propose you a low cost version, that has been made inexpensive by the availability of cheap stepper motors and of an open source controller board, that in our case is the same used for our 3Drag 3D printer (even though it was provided with a modified version of the original firmware); the chassis is left to your personal preferences, so you may create it as you see fit: it could be obtained by attaching the two motors to a wood frame even, and by connecting the print head with a toothed belt and by providing the whole with counterweights.
The whole project is an open source one, and the version we created and proposed in these pages is just a personalization of the original idea. Even the firmware is an open source one and the software to be run on the PC (needed in order to command the plotter) may be freely used.
But let's proceed in an orderly fashion, by spending a few words on the subject of the mechanical structure, that is essentially composed by a chassis frame, that we created with aluminium extrusions with a square section (side: 27.5 mm); the whole frame is 74.5 x 64.5 cm big, with the sides embossed on the superior side, with a height of 64 cm and ending with specific plastic "caps". Each horizontal extrusion is 69 cm long, and to the side the vertical extrusions are fixed by means of angular screws; therefore it turns out that the total width is 2×27.5mm+690mm, that is to say they are exactly the aforementioned 74.5 cm.
At the top (that is to say, at the upper angles) two NEMA 17 stepper motors at 200 steps/revolution are fixed, each one having a toothed pulley applied to the axis (and tightened by means of a hexagon socket screw) on which an opened belt goes by; the latter is composed of two segments, and it hangs on both sides and is opportunely stretched (so that it may adhere to the pulleys) by means of counterweights that are formed by a certain amount of 30 x 10 mm washers, each one being 2 mm thick. The counterweights are fixed by means of a screw passing through the eyelet that has been purposely made at the corresponding end in the toothed belt.
Actually, the belts are two fragments and in the middle of them a print head has been fixed: it is composed of a cylinder in which the pen is inserted, and fixed by means of a metal screw (in the next page you may see it in detail) that is provided with a plastic knob so to easily tighten it with a hand; a servo command with a plastic lever allows to push away and let the pen get closer to the sheet, respectively when there is need to draw or not.
A piece of the belt starts from one of the ends of the print head, it turns around the toothed pulley of a stepper motor and hangs on the side, and is kept tightened by a counterweight that is screwed to it; the other piece starts from the opposite side, it turns around the pulley of the other motor and hangs on the opposite side, even in this case it is kept pulled by means of a counterweight. The end of each belt's portion creates an eyelet within which the screw that holds the counterweight is entered.
In order to ensure that each belt's portion is being tightened, at the basis of the print head there is a further counterweight that, along with the head's mass, balances the tension of the side masses; this detail is very important because if there was no central mass, the head would be raised and always brought up, with the part attached to the belt being aligned to the upper part of the stepper motors' pulleys.
The print head's mass has the function to bring down the pen when the motors reduce the belt's tension, that is to say to have it move down and sideways, depending on which one of the two motors carries out more steps; on the subject we would like to point out that, in order to have the print head move on a side, the motor of the corresponding side has to rotate towards the internal part more than it does on the opposite side.
The penholder print head has two triangular wings, so to secure it to the belt; it has been 3D printed by means of our 3Drag printer and you will find the files on thingiverse, along with those needed in order to create the counterweights' cases.
The counterweights have to be chosen so that the print head remains in the right position, even with unpowered motors, and they must have a weight such that they allow the belt to adhere to the pulleys' teeth, so that it will be them to move or brake the belt itself, and the print head with it. As we could see, in our vertical plotter we used some washers as a counterweight. This way it is easy to calibrate the weights and to choose an adequate number of washers.
The motor in the corner up and on the left is connected to the output for the X-Axis motor of the 3Drag controller board, and the one up and on the right to the output of the Y-Axis motor of the same board; the servo command is managed by the X-STOP connector of the usual controller board, that in this case is configured by the firmware so to operate as an output, instead of as an input.
Naturally the chassis that we created is not a mandatory solution, and you may create it of the size you prefer (by adjusting the software parameters concerning the print head's travel) as well as build it as you prefer: for example in wood, or by using a picture frame, or by applying the stepper motors at the upper corners of a plank, and by making the pulleys stick out (to them the belt system, the print head and the counterweights are to be fixed).
Once the mechanic part has been completed, it is possible to carry out the few required wirings, by respecting the wires' colors, as indicated in the drawing that you see in the previous pages.
The 3Drag controller board has to be programmed by means of the specific firmware.
The loading of the firmware is carried out by connecting the board – via USB – to a PC in which the Arduino IDE has been installed; in fact the controller board is based on Arduino Mega's hardware.
Afterwards, please open the downloaded firmware's file (.pde), and select the board's COM port, and choose Arduino Mega2560 as a board, then press the programming button. After a few seconds the board is ready for the usage.
In order to check our plotter we chose the Polar Graph program, that may be downloaded: actually, the one we used is a customized software that we have developed and it has to be downloaded from our website, along with the other project files (among which the firmware used in order to manage the plotter) and the libraries, in addition to the Processing file. All of this is available under the form of a compressed archive: once it has been downloaded it must be unpacked and some folders will be obtained (all of them are contained in the "Vertical plotter" folder). One of them will contain Processing, version 1.5.1 (that's the one to be used): the program (in the Processing folder) and the source files (in the Processing Source folder). Please open the latter, inside of it you will find the polargraphcontroller.pde file, that is placed in the Vertical plotterprocessingProcessin-sourcepolargraphcontroller path, you have to double click on it. This way you will boot Arduino's IDE, and this screen will appear, and it wil show you the corresponding listing. By clicking on the Play button (the arrow up and on the left in the IDE commands bar) you will be before the program's window. This means that the program has been started.
How to connect polargraph to the PC
If the plotter is not connected to a PC – when we start Polargraph Controller – it won't be detected: the words "No serial connection" will appear up and on the left. At this stage we will connect the USB to the PC, and will wait that Arduino drivers are installed, then will open polargraph controller; if the words "Polargraph READY! (arduino version)" words do not appear, it is needed to go in the SETUP tab and click on the last entry in the "SERIAL PORT…" column. At this stage we will select the port assigned to our Arduino (in this case, COM 8).
The first thing to do now is to configure the plotter, that is to say, to define the parameters of our mechanical part, so that the program may know it and know how to regulate the print head's movements. As for the configuration, let's go to the "SETUP" tab and click up and on the left, at the specific menu entry. As a first thing, please type in the circumference of the pulley mounted on the motors, in "MM PER REV": in our case it's 40. After that, please set the numbers of the motor's steps/revolution in "STEPS PER REV"; you will have to be careful with this step, since a mistake will make the print head go out of the "frame". The NEMA 17 motor (the one we used) has 200 steps/revolution, but with the 3DRAG controller board each step is divided in 16 micro-steps, so in order to obtain the total number of steps per revolution to be inserted, we will have to multiply the number of the motor's steps by 16 (200×16=3.200 steps). You will now have to set the machine's size. MACHINE WIDTH is the distance among the closest points of the stepper motors' pulleys, while MACHINE HEIGHT is the distance between the imaginary axis that joins the motors' axles and the chassis' lower side, that is to say of the area that may be drawed. In order to set the size of the sheet we want to print, we will have to type in the values in "PAGE WIDTH" and "PAGE HEIGHT" that respectively are the page's width and height. You will now have to set the size of the pen's (or felt pen's) tip you want to use in "PEN TIP SIZE" and then click on "SEND PEN TIP SIZE". Please insert the pen in the print head and fix it by means of the specific screw, however you will have to be careful that the distance between the print head and the sheet is not greater than the length of the servo arm used in order to lift the print head from the sheet. Once all of this has been done, please remember to click on "SAVE", in order to save the settings in a permanent way, and on "UPLOAD MACHINE SPEC" so to write the settings in the EEPROM microcontroller, in the case you wanted to download them you would have had to click on "DOWNLOAD SIZE SPEC". If the printing turns out to be too slow or too fast, it is possible to act on the maximum motors' speed and on the acceleration. By raising "MOTOR MAX SPEED" we will raise the motors' maximum speed, while by decreasing it we will decrease that speed. By raising "MOTOR ACCELERATION" we will decrease the acceleration, and by decreasing it we will increase the acceleration.
We will now make a print: as a first thing please click on "LOAD VECTOR" on the left column, once a dialog windows opens (in which to select the file to be opened).
Once the file (in the path it is located) has been chosen, please click on "Open" and the corresponding image will appear in the dialog window. After that please click on "SELECT AREA", so to select the area on which you want to draw the vector and then click on "SET FRAME TO AREA". It is now possible to move and resize the vector at leisure, by means of "MOVE VECTOR" and "RESIZE VECTOR". In order to print the vector it will be enough to click on "DRAW VECTOR" so that the coordinates needed in order to draw the vector will be created; now it will be enough to just click on "QUEUE PAUSED" (the caption is in red and up and on the right), it will become green and will change in "QUEUE RUNNING".
Please click on "Load image file", in the left column.
Please select one of the examples in the "examples" folder and click on open. In the case you made a mistake when opening, please click on "clear image" and repeat the operation in order to open another one. In our case we will use apple logo. Once opened, please click on "MOVE IMAGE" and place the image wherever you want in the white area that corresponds to our sheet; once the position has been reached please click on it and then click again on MOVE IMAGE, so to deactivate the tool. If the picture is too big for the sheet, or if we want to make it smaller or bigger to our liking, we will have to click on "RESIZE IMAGE" and drag the mouse upwards in order to make the picture smaller, and downwards in order to make it bigger. Even in this case, once the operation has been completed please exit the tool by clicking again on RESIZE IMAGE.
Once the picture has been placed, please click on "SELECT AREA" and select the picture's area that you want to print, and then click "SET FRAME TO AREA". It is now possible to act on several picture's parameters and therefore to create a style for the picture that will be printed.
Once these parameters have been set at leisure, it is possible to click on RENDER PIXEL and a dialog window will open, in which to choose the filling style as for the image. In the first column it is possible to choose where to start the pen, as for the printing:
In the second column on the right it is possible to choose the writing mode for the pen:
In the last two lines it is possible to choose:
After having selected the desired options, please click on "GENERATE COMMANDS" and the coordinates for the pen will be created.
In order to draw the image's edge, it is enough to simply load the image, to place it where you prefer, to select the area and the frame, afterwards please go to the "TRACE" tab. It is possible to modify three parameters:
Stepper motor NEMA17 – 1,8° – 0,28A
SUB MICRO SERVO 9g – 22x11x29 mm

Research in Estuarine Ecosystems: Various Harmful Species in the Neuse EstuaryA recent Ph.D. dissertation completed at the CAAE used a continuous, 13- year record of environmental data and phytoplankton taxa in the mesohaline estuary (1994-2006; biweekly, April-October; monthly, November-March) to evaluate phytoplankton assemblage responses to changing environmental conditions. Ordination techniques including non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), indicator species analysis, and BIOENV software were used to investigate potential environmental predictors of phytoplankton assemblage patterns under chronic eutrophication (see Rothenberger et al., Limnol. Oceanogr. 54: 2107-2127). Phytoplankton assemblages were strongly related to temperature and total nitrogen : total phosphorus (TN:TP) ratios, with expected seasonal changes in species composition. Inter-annual changes in river discharge influenced whether phytoplankton assemblages were dominated by diatoms and phototrophic flagellates, or by mixotrophic and heterotrophic dinoflagellates. From this analysis, increasing NH4 + concentrations also emerged as an important influence on the phytoplankton assemblages. Raphidophytes (including potentially toxic Heterosigma akashiwo), haptophytes, chlorophytes, and the bloom-forming dinoflagellate Heterocapsa rotundata increased in more recent years (2000- 2006), concomitant with increasing NH4 + concentrations (e.g., 105 cells of H. rotundata mL-1 at NH4 + > 14 μM). Abundance of the toxigenic dinoflagellate Prorocentrum minimum was positively related to dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), whereas the highest abundance of the grouping Pfiesteria spp., 'pfiesteria-like' dinoflagellates, and Karlodinium veneficum occurred during summer and fall and was related to high TP concentrations, temperature, and salinity. The data suggested an increasingly important role of NH4 + in controlling phytoplankton assemblage structure, including increased abundance of some harmful species, in this eutrophic estuary. The field study was supported by other field research and by laboratory experiments (e.g., NH4 + supports more rapid growth of H. akashiwo than nitrate or urea).
The CAAE has also characterized blooms in the Neuse Estuary that have been dominated or co-dominated by Prorocentrum minimum (e.g. see Springer et al. 2005, Harmful Algae 4: 533-551). The developing bloom was first detected from a web-based alert provided by the Center's real-time remote monitoring (RTRM) platforms, indicating elevated dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH levels in the upper estuary. These data were used to augment shipboard sampling in characterizing bloom initiation, development, movement, and dissipation over a 7-month period (October 2001-April 2002).Chlorophyll a (chla) within bloom areas averaged 106 +13 μg L-1 (mean + 1 SE), with a maximum of 803 μg L-1, in comparison to 20 μg L-1 outside the bloom. There were significant positive relationships between dinoflagellate abundance and TN and TP. NH4 +, NO3 -+NO2 -, and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations did not decrease within the main bloom, suggesting that upstream inputs and other sources provided nutrientreplete conditions. In addition, PAM fluorometric measurements (at 0900-1300 hours) of maximal PSII quantum yield (Fv/Fm) were consistently 0.6-0.8 within the bloom until late March, providing little evidence of photophysiological stress as would have been expected under nutrient-limiting conditions. An analysis of N uptake kinetics during the period when P. minimum was dominant (October- December) suggested that NH4 + was the major N species that supported the bloom. Bloom displacement (January-February) coincided with higher diversity of heterotrophic dinoflagellate species as P. minimum abundance decreased.

Pacquiao wins controversial majority decision
@SportsBata ..nuff said
Pacquiao vs. Marquez III went the distance, and Pacquiao won on majority split decision, but the battle seems unresolved. To many people in the sell-out crowd of 16, 368, Marquez seemed to be the victor, landed bigger shots and was more aggressive, but the scorecard shows different. On the judges scorecard: Glenn Trowbridge (116-112) and Dave Moretti (115-113) favored Pacquiao, and Robert Hoyle called it a 114-114 draw. Pacquiao was credited with landing 176 of 578 punches, while Marquez landed 138 of 436. In terms of power punches: Pacquiao connected on 117 to 100 — though Marquez seemed to land the harder punches. It was the 15th straight win for Pacquiao, who earned a minimum of $22 million while improving his record to 54-3-2. Marquez, who earned $5 million, fell to 52-6-1. – espn Talks of a Marquez vs. Pacquiao IV have already been discussed following the fight! Check out a piece of the action below!
"It was clear to me I won," Pacquiao said. "I clearly won."
"He was ready for my punches," Pacquiao said. "I thought I blocked a lot of his punches."
"This is robbery of the utmost," said Marquez's trainer, Nacho Beristain.
"Honestly, I don't know what I need to do to change the minds of the judges," Marquez said. "Everybody knows what happened. I think I won this fight. It's very frustrating."
"I am bound and determined to find a definitive winner once and for all," promoter Bob Arum said. "If I can get both fighters to agree, I'd like to do a fourth fight once and for all." – foxsports
