Floyd Mayweather Jr. is known for having some of the most polarizing figures in the entertainment business accompany him to the ring before fights.

Miley has good handlers and I'm doubtful she will merge her brand to the brand of a convicted person.
Cyndi Lauper was a person with 10 times the talent and she linked herself to Capt. Lou Albano in pro wrestling.....her career nosedived. The good news is her talent ruled and MANY years later she showed the world she had immense talent
Miley has no talent...this could be a career killer

The free, family-oriented outdoors festival will feature hands-on activities, booths and opportunities for people to experience the great outdoors even if they haven't had much exposure to Texas beyond the city limit signs. "By introducing Texans, especially urban adults and kids, to outdoor recreation, our woods and waters and natural places become more relevant and important to them," said Heidi Rao, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department hunter education specialist. "We believe recreation leads to conservation. Folks out there enjoying the natural world come to care about it and finally to care for it." Take Me Outdoors Houston will run from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15 at Discovery Green, a 12-acre park created by a public/private partnership between the City of Houston and the non-profit Discovery Green Conservancy. The park's mission is to provide a beautiful, urban green space in the heart of Houston that serves as a village green for the city. It is located across Avenida de las Americas from the George R. Brown Convention Center and the Hilton Americas Hotel, sitting between the Toyota Center and Minute Maid Park. Since the park opened in April 2008, it has welcomed more than 1 million visitors and hosted more than 800 public and private events. Take Me Outdoors Houston will consist of a variety of exhibitors clustered in topical zones and a wide range of activities, including: The Nature & Environmental Zone will include a Rock Climbing Wall; TPWD's State Parks Division, Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Program, and Urban Outdoor Program; Katy Prairie Conservancy; Armand Bayou Nature Center; Wetlands Center and Baytown Nature Center; Student Conservation Association; and Nature Heritage Society.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Gov. Rick Scott "challenged" state colleges to create $10,000 four-year degrees, a continuation of his low-cost strategy for higher education that Democrats slammed as an attempt to turn the schools into "the Walmart of Education."
Scott issued his challenge in a media blitz and a morning press conference at St. Petersburg College, with another event scheduled for Orlando in the afternoon.
"You should be able to work and go to school and not end up with debt," Scott told WFLA TV, according to a transcript provided by his office. "If these degrees cost so much money, tuition is so high, that's not going to happen. I have put out this challenge to our state colleges -- we have 28 great state colleges -- and say, 'Can you come up with degrees where individuals can get jobs that the total degree costs $10,000?'"
State colleges are generally what used to be known as community colleges, though 28 of them have begun offering a limited number of four-year degrees.
Most of Florida's bachelor's degrees are produced by the state's 12 public universities. The four-year tuition there is about $24,000.
Scott's proposal echoes a similar push by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Scott's political idol, for $10,000 degrees in that state. It also comes as Scott has made containing the costs of higher education a top priority after colleges and universities say years of budget cuts have forced tuition hikes.
At the morning press conference, St. Petersburg College President William Law said his school would accept the challenge.
"St. Petersburg College is once again excited about the opportunity to be part of a statewide college pilot program that lowers the cost of a college education for the citizens we serve," Law said in a press release. "Affordable education always has been at the forefront of the college?s mission."
Scott did not appear to be offering any new funding to college to help cover the cost of the initiative.
Scott has talked about the $10,000 degree program before, and others have proposed a set cost for higher education. A blue ribbon task force set up by Scott to study the State University System -- which doesn't include the colleges -- recommended a similar goal for Florida's 12 universities.
"The state will maintain a full-time, resident, undergraduate tuition option with a targeted rate of approximately ... $15,000 for a bachelor's degree," the task force's report said.
But the Florida Democratic Party blasted the idea in an email, saying Scott should instead focus on increasing funding for higher education.
"We've heard these empty words from Rick Scott before and Florida's middle class families are looking for real leadership -- not failed gimmicks masquerading as sound bites," the party said.

If you are using the Newsletter feature in MCM to send emails to lists of contacts you may notice that the URLs for assets in the email are pointing to the author instance, rather than the publish instance. The links to the author instance will not work for external users, so the assets in the email will not show up.
This is a documentation issue as there is some further configuration required to substitute the links in the newsletter email so they point to the publish instance, rather than the author instance. This will be addressed in a later version of CQ.
To resolve this issue in the meantime you should do the following steps:
- login to the system console on author (e.g. http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr)
- in the configuration tab search for the "Day CQ MCM Newsletter" bundle and open it
- take note of the fake host name in "Lookup for Sender Host" field (by default it is –publish–), i.e. the field should have http://–publish– in it
- open CRXDE Lite and goto /etc/map/http
- create a Node named –publish– of type sling:Mapping
- add a String property sling:match with value –publish–.80
- add a String property sling:redirect with value of your publish instance host name or IP including port(e.g. http://publishhost:4503)
- click Save All
Now when you send the newsletter it should substitute the author URL with the publish URL.

Penn Track in England (2010)
Meet Schedule
PHILADELPHIA - A biennial tradition, Ivy rivals Penn and Cornell team up against England universities, Oxford and Cambridge. Dating back more than half a century, the Transatlantic Series is hosted by the Big Red this year and will be held in Ithaca, N.Y. on Saturday afternoon.
Following traditional British scoring, each event winner earns one point for their team. Penn and Cornell meet Oxford and Cambridge in the transatlantic dual approximately every two years, alternating as the hosts on each occassion. In 2010, for the last meeting, the Quakers and Big Red went across the Atlantic. Penn hosted Cornell and their overseas guests at Franklin Field in 2009, and next summer, the two U.S. schools are scheduled to travel back to England.
Saturday's meet between the American and British universities will start at 10 a.m. with the shot put and on the track at 10:30 a.m. with the 3,000 meters. The meet will conclude at 3:20 p.m. with the 4x400-meter relays.
In the latest edition of this Transatlantic Series, the Quakers and Big Red toured Great Britain and then topped the foreign duo in Oxford at the historic Roger Bannister Running Track. The Penn and Cornell women remained unbeaten all-time in the series when they combined to win all but one of the 19 events. The men had similar success, getting off to a fast start with victories by Penn athletes in four of the first five events, and in all, Cornell and Penn won 16 of the 19 event titles.
Penn will have some momentum heading into the meet. In Raleigh last week, Margaret Diacont had a first-place finish in her section of the steeplechase, clocking 10:55.98. That was a new career-best and moved her from third all-time to second in the Penn record book. Junior Chelsea Delaney was seventh in her section of the 1,500 with a time of 4:32.58 to slide into the 10-spot of the school record book. Kelsey Hay (44.97 meters) set a collegiate best with her effort and marked the fifth-best toss in program history.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Mi Veracruz on Spring Park Road specializes in traditional Mexican cuisine, food you would get in mama's kitchen, but the rules are much different when you're serving the public.
We waited to talk with the owner about the six high priority violations cited by state inspectors.
First, chicken and fish were stored over peppers and salsa in the refrigerator. The restaurant was also cited for an employee not washing his hands before putting on gloves and not having a trained food manager on site or proof that all of the employees were trained on food safety rules.
"This is my first time opening a restaurant," one of the owners, Sandra Baez, said of the violations.
She opened up the restaurant with her mother and brother three months ago and admits she's still learning the rules.
She showed me proof one big violation was corrected: All three employees now have state approved training and identification cards. Baez also said they've corrected the storage problem of raw food over fresh food and that she's actively working with the inspector to make sure she doesn't break food safety rules in the future.
This was only the Mi Veracruz's second inspection. The owner said they're starting to get more customers and they want to make sure those customers not only enjoy their meal but don't get sick.

Sydney, Australia
November 2000
Address to Asia Society Australasia Centre Annual Dinner
"East Asia and The Pacific in C21"
A view from Singapore
Mr Morgan, thank you very much for your very generous introduction. Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honour and pleasure to be able to be here as a guest speaker at the Asia Society AustralAsia Centre.
My mission tonight, as I understand it, is to talk to you about how the Japanese economy is faring today, and what it will look like, and if time allows, maybe a few comments about the political situation, and if even more time is available, maybe talk about the external relationship with major trading partners, particularly China.
I'm not at all certain whether I can manage all that, so at the very beginning, at the risk of perhaps being too brief, I will just outline a couple of conclusions and as you probably noticed when our Prime Minister spoke; maybe he was different when he spoke here, but usually when he speaks in Japan, he loves to speak in simple short sentences. I'm not trying to emulate Mr Koizumi, but just a few conclusions first.
The Japanese economy is at the moment in a plateau, but I think it is going to be temporary; fundamentally because the upswing of the Japanese economy that we have been experiencing since 2002 is fundamentally based on a number of structural changes that have taken place, both in the manufacturing and service sectors. But one big question mark is that, as you all know, the economy has been helped a great deal by the very strong economies in China and the United States. So of course we all share some questions about the US economy, their twin deficits, where the dollar will go relative to the yen or euro. But, if these economies stay relatively healthy, the Japanese economy will come out of the plateau fairly quickly, and from the latter half of 2005, my sense is that economic growth will be somewhere in the range of 2-3%.
Secondly, the structural changes. We all know and you all know what was described as "the Lost Decade," which came to Japan immediately after the burst of the bubble. We lost many things, but at the same time we learned a great deal, among which probably a lot of Japanese businesses learned how to get back to the fundamentals. The manufacturing sector has come down to a much lower break-even point. But during the course of restructuring, this is probably very important in the long run, Japanese society, including the trade unions, learned that we will never go back, at least in the foreseeable future, to the days of enjoying 2% or even lower unemployment rate. 4% is probably reasonable; we may experience probably the higher end of 4% or lower end of 5%, and that by itself will not be fatal. This is a very important lesson that the Japanese society learned during this whole process.
Also the financial sector, particularly banks, used to enjoy an almost unchallenged position in the Japanese economy. They had to go through very difficult lessons, of making their business model more viable in the international economic situation, and I think they had gone through a very difficult, harsh time of people almost looking down at banks, as if to say "they are the wrong people to deal with". But now they are back, I think their non-performing loans are almost non-existent, and they are working on the regrouping of banks in order to achieve internationally competitive, more viable business models. This will take a little more time, but I think they are on the right path. Also, something that has finally happened is the arrival of the venture capital business. They had been with the Japanese economy for a long time, but this last year was very interesting - I'm almost sure that almost every single Japanese watched the reorganizing of the professional baseball league. It ended up by having two champions of the venture capitalist game owning - one owning an old and very strong team... actually the champions of the last year, that's Mr Son of SOFTBANK, and the other one - Mr Mikitani of Rakuten - owning a brand-new baseball team out in Sendai. Now many of you probably know Miyauchi-san of Orix: he serves on my board, and we are good friends, although in some ways arguably different; but when he originally owned the baseball team, Orix, there were many shaking heads in the old establishment of the Japanese business, asking what business Orix has in owning a baseball team: this was the world of railroads, newspapers, the establishment, and Orix was just too new. But the world has changed a great deal. Now Miyauchi-san is on the side of the establishment, shaking heads about the venture capitalists coming in. I think society welcomed it. To a certain extent I'm exaggerating, but to me it was almost a symbol of the Japanese economy, Japanese society coming to accept some of the fundamental changes, like the unemployment rate, like venture capitalists coming in.
Now of course this baseball team, which is now owned by Mr Son, was previously owned by Daiei, one of the biggest supermarket chains in Japan. When Mr Nakauchi founded Daiei, it was almost a wild phenomenon that this man from nowhere was buying into the world of retail, selling everything below cost. When Daiei grew to a certain stage and his name was up for vice-presidency of the Keidanren, the head of Keidanren said "Who is he?" His business had no place in Keidanren. After that, his business went all the way up, and now his business is down and in the process of restructuring. The baseball team he loved is now going to be owned by Mr Son.
I think I am simplifying the whole issue, but the message is: the Japanese economy and Japanese society are going through a very important and very interesting changing process. My feeling is, compared to the beginning of the 90s when the bubble burst, the Japanese economy is stronger, more flexible, and I think there's a lot of opportunities for Australian capital among other non-Japanese companies to come in and explore. I must say our Prime Minister has played a very major role in real and symbolic terms, in making changes in the Japanese economy. Professor Takenaka, who has stayed close to his wing, not only in advising but in spearheading the restructuring process, has also played a very important role. Mr Koizumi will leave the Prime Ministership if he completes the term in about two years, and what he has done in making this restructuring stick in Japanese society is something that he can be proud of the rest of his political life.
Now, our two countries, as Mr Morgan mentioned, have enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial relationship, and also not just beneficial bilaterally, I think we have played on many occasions a very proud role of making our region more productive and interactive with the others. And Australia has played a very, very important role in taking the leadership in many of these developments. We have come a long way, and we very much look forward to the visit of Prime Minister John Howard in April on the occasion of the 2005 World Exposition in Aichi, and next year, 2006, is designated as the year of exchange to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Basic Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation in 1976. The responsibilities that Australia and Japan commonly share as two leading democratic nations in the Asia-Pacific region have not really lessened, but I'm sure they will simply continue to increase and bear greater importance.

How do you prove your rights have been violated by a secret government program if the details of the program are secret?
That's the essence of the question argued before the U.S. Supreme Court, which could shape how and whether citizens bring legal action against the government for privacy-rights violations in the name of national security.
The frequently mundane issue of "standing," as it's called, takes on a deeper significance when considered in the context of the legality of the government spying via the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, expanded in 2008.
Joseph Heller, author of the classic novel "Catch-22," could hardly have imagined a plot so absurd and canted against the civil rights of ordinary people whose emails and calls are likely being monitored by the government.
Think about it: You know the government is conducting wide-ranging, warrantless searches of communication involving at least one party on foreign soil. You suspect your communications are being captured in the dragnet, but you're not sure. Since the information is being collected for intelligence purposes -- not prosecution where it likely eventually would become public -- how can you ever know?
After arguments, court observers had mixed perceptions on how justices received the arguments. Some said the court seemed skeptical about the government's request that the case be thrown out over standing. Others believe the case faces an uphill battle.
While that may not help the litigants in the case recently argued before the court, lawmakers could -- and should -- put guardrails in place that would rein in the danger of a government spying program with little oversight.
-- The Denver Post

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today signed an agreement committing $1 billion to Denver's Eagle P3, a 30-mile two-pronged commuter rail project that will significantly expand transportation choices in the greater Denver area, create jobs and cut by nearly half the amount of time it now takes to get from downtown Denver to the airport.
Secretary LaHood signed the funding agreement at a groundbreaking ceremony for the Gold Line in Olde Town Arvada today, alongside Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, U.S. Representative Ed Perlmutter, U.S. Representative Diana DeGette, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock and other area officials.
"Through the Eagle P3 project, the Obama Administration and the Denver Regional Transportation District are putting greater Denver on a smart path to sustainable growth, while generating thousands of good local jobs," said Secretary LaHood. "Eagle P3 provides Denver with transportation choices that reduce congestion, promote clean air and reduce our nation's dependence on costly oil."
The Denver Regional Transit District (RTD) is the first transit agency in the nation to successfully pursue a comprehensive public-private partnership, or P3, that encompasses the design, construction, financing, operation, and maintenance of its regional transit projects. The federal funding agreement covers roughly half of the $2 billion cost of the entire project, which is expected to generate roughly 4,700 construction-related jobs in the Denver metro area.
The federal funding agreement clears the way for construction to begin on the western segment of Eagle P3, also known as the Gold Line, which will serve the suburbs of Arvada and Wheat Ridge. The East Line of Eagle P3, which has already begun construction using local funds, will run from Denver's historic Union Station nearly 23 miles east to Denver International Airport and will connect to existing light rail and bus service.
"Denver and its suburbs are executing one of the most ambitious and far-reaching public transportation programs in the country--one that will allow millions of Coloradans to enjoy new and improved access to transit right in their neighborhoods," Federal Tranist Administrator Peter Rogoff said. "This will give working families more reliable, affordable transportation that will allow them to spend more time at home and less money at the gas pump."
The Eagle P3 project and Denver Union Station's ongoing renovation are part of RTD's far-reaching FasTracks program, a voter-approved, multi-year, multibillion-dollar transit expansion program covering 140 miles of rail and bus corridors that will help Denver to successfully manage growth and compete for business for years to come.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is the major federal funder through a combination of grants and loans. A consortium of private companies, known as the Denver Transit Partners, is responsible for financing the rest through tax-exempt private-activity bonds issued by RTD and other means.
To ensure that Denver's citizens participate as fully as possible in the jobs created by this work, the FTA recently awarded nearly half a million dollars towards the innovative Denver Regional Workforce Initiative Now. The effort brings local transportation, education, and business leaders together to train, hire, develop and retain transit workers eager to work on Denver's federally-funded transportation infrastructure projects.
The entire project is slated for completion in 2016. The new railcars slated for use on the commuter line will be assembled in the United States and will consist of at least 60 percent US-made components, consistent with the Administration's Buy America requirements.

Two series against the Braves. The Mets lose two of three in both. in three of the four games the Mets let the game slip away because of their bullpen. When you have the Braves on the ropes you must put them away.
For 14 years, the Braves knew they could beat the Mets when it mattered. You have to believe they have that feeling again.

STROKE patients treated at Taunton's Musgrove Park Hospital receive some of the best care in the country, according to findings by the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme.
The latest quarterly performance data shows Musgrove's performance among the top 5% of the 160 stroke units in the UK who routinely admit stroke patients.
And Musgrove's overall performance in the last six months was the highest across the South-West region, concludes SSNAP, which provides information to inform the public how well their local hospital is performing at diagnosing and treating stroke patients.
Musgrove chief executive Jo Cubbon said: "These results are excellent news for all patients in Somerset who are cared for by the stroke team at Musgrove.
"We know that if you suffer from a stroke, patients need to know they are receiving the very best care from the very best staff and I am confident we have both."
Dr Rob Whiting, consultant stroke specialist at Musgrove Park Hospital, said: "SSNAP gives us the opportunity to benchmark our own performance against all other stroke services in the UK.
"It is great to see the latest data shows our performance to be amongst the best stroke units in the UK.
"Nevertheless, we know that there are still areas in which we can improve further, and we will continue to work hard to deliver high standards of stroke care for our patients."
Time is crucial for people who have suffered a stroke and therefore it is important that people in Somerset know that no matter what time of day they might have a stroke, they have access to the best possible facilities and the very best staff to provide them with the greatest chance of recovery.

In an unprecedented move Google in January 2013 give a bit jolt to those who were indulged in bad SEO practices. Most of the website owners even didn't exactly contemplate as to what happened. Here are some of the possible reasons for downgrading of your ranks;
• Poor quality links• Poorly written content• Over-submission in article directories• Keyword stuffed content
It is due to these reasons that many websites suffered and there ranking were down drastically.
the major reason i think is having a poor content not unique and spamming.
Just make a site people love. I still do believe in SEO but I think it takes years to truly understand and most people don't have the knowledge that people who have been in the business for a decade have and unfortunately google still makes it possible for people to buy and sell pagerank. So long as that is the case there will be lots of black hats selling it.
Well, I've read this one a million times since the Google update. I am so dying to focus on posting good contents on my blog than building links. I think that it's important that you build your links naturally. Spend more time writing and posting articles on your blog. And then spare some time building links. Anyway, you can always promote your blog posts through microblogging or social networks.
Here's the problem that I am having, I have a website that people simply aren't going to love. At least not enough people to make a difference.
My website is an online presence for my company (contracting). The purpose of my website is to give potential customers a way to find my business and it's phone number, to show them what I can do for them, to explain pricing and promotions, etc.
Even if I was to put up a blog and type out some new content, it's still not somewhere that lots of people (enough that will make a difference) are going to flock to.
Even with getting into social media and using Yelp and other stuff, I only have X amount of existing customers. And that amount is probably not enough to make any difference.
So my only options seem to "cheat" so to speak and have some SEO guy do whatever they do to get fellow contractors that I have spoken to to the first page.
Hi friendsGoogle has announced a new Panda refresh, making this version number 24.More details over here- searchengineland.com/google-panda-update-version-24-1-2-of-search-queries-impacted-146149
Will agree with you..! But site with has only single post are appears in search results with low quality content, how they are getting..?
MechElec - the reality for a business like yours now is that you need to be focusing on ranking your Google+ Local listing equally as much as your website itself, if not more so. For businesses that are not content-heavy, ie not information websites and the kind of thing were people are not really going to use a blog, you are better off trying to get ranked well via having reviews, citations etc for your local listings.
I started a Google+ account for myself because I was told that I would have to do that in order to make one for a business. I then made one for the business. And that's where I am right now. Just a Google+ page for the business with the name, logo, website, etc.
Now what do I do?

|Database models
A data model is an abstract model that describes how data are represented and used.
The term data model has two generally accepted meanings:
- A data model theory i.e. a formal description of how data may be structured and used. See also database model
- A data model instance i.e. applying a data model theory to create a practical data model instance for some particular application. See data modeling.
Data Model Theory Edit
A data model theory has three main components:
- The structural part: a collection of data structures which are used to create databases representing the entites or objects modelled by the database.
- The integrity part: a collection of rules governing the constraints placed on these data structures to ensure structural integrity.
- The manipulation part: a collection of operators which can be applied to the data structures, to update and query the data contained in the database.
For example, in the relational model, the structural part is based on a modified concept of the mathematical relation; the integrity part is expressed in first-order logic and the manipulation part is expressed using the relational algebra, tuple calculus and domain calculus.
Data Model Instance Edit
Data modelling is the process creating a data model instance by applying a data model theory. This is typically done to solve some business enterprise requirement.
Business requirements are normally captured by a logical semantic data model. This is transformed into a physical data model instance from which is generated a physical database. For more information on the tools and techniques of data modelling, see data modelling.
For example, a data modeller may use the ERwin data modelling tool to create an ERD of the corporate data model of some business enterprise. This model is transformed into a relational model, which in turn generates a Oracle relational database.

I have a rather large family, and they all love to eat. We divide and conquer on the holidays, with different family members hosting certain holidays. My holiday to host is Christmas Day. (My mother gets Christmas Eve, the most sought-after holiday. Apparently, I haven't earned it yet. I'm not bitter or anything.)
My wife and I visit her family Christmas morning and usually get home at about 11 am. This can make for a stressful cooking situation to say the least. But we cook simply, prep in advance and use fresh high-quality ingredients so my time is spent just making them shine. We serve a great roast coated in herbs, chunky pieces of Maldon Salt and crushed garlic; basic roasted root vegetables tossed in olive oil and thyme; sautéed greens with nutmeg; and crusty bread with compound butters. All of this food is easy to finish off quickly and tastes delicious. But when it's time to really impress, to make the occasion special, I bring out the fermented curd, the coagulated aged milk, the king of all things edible: the cheese!
And I still keep it simple.

Suno Fall 2013
Winter storm Nemo might have been in full swing last night, but that didn't stop fashion folk from braving the blizzard to see Suno's show at Milk Studios. The extreme weather conditions were, in a sense, a fitting backdrop for the new collection, which co-creative director Erin Beatty described as "an exploration of modern armor" backstage before the show. "It's not the 1980s. We don't need power suits and big shoulder pads but we do want to be empowered, so the question for us was, How does a woman dress to feel strong and protected right now?" she said. The duo looked backed to prolific heroines of yore like Joan of Arc to help them formulate the answer, and subtle references to iron-wrought breastplates and placards were worked into the construction of collared shirts and quilted jackets. Beatty and her partner Max Osterweis are known for their brilliant use of print and color—starting with the exuberant sustainable Kenyan Kanga fabrics that launched the line in 2008—and medieval tapestry-inspired patterns run throughout the collection alongside motifs that were hand-embroidered by artisans in India.
Yet this time around it was the tailoring of the clothes that stole the spotlight. Case in point? A woolen gray jacket draped over matching wool shorts that had a sophisticated sense of ease. And if there was any reference to the eighties, it was a punk-leaning attitude cut into peplum plaid shirtdresses and jackets that were grounded with fantastic Chelsea boots made in collaboration with British shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood. Black isn't a hue you'd expect to find at Suno, but it is a universally flattering shade by default. Encrusted with Swarovski beads and nipped at the waist, their neoprene reinterpretations of the LBD felt fresh—a welcome step outside of their comfort zone. Osterweis and Beatty are successfully charting new territory with their ethically conscious label by keeping in mind exactly what all stylish urban-dwelling women will fight for, and that's a wardrobe of cool confidence-boosting clothes to face the world.

Here's the final picture. There is a bee on the left of the picture. Just below the bee you can just make out what we mistakenly thought were bee larvae. It was interesting to note that the bees pretty well ignored the small moth larvae even though on a few occasions we witnessed them looking around that area. If we had known at that stage I don't think we could have done anything anyway :-(

Update on the query I received regarding the B. hypnorum bumbles in a school nest box - what to do etc. Thanks to information articles I emailed to the teacher, especially the BBCT information and Clive's article , the bumbles in the box were safely moved to a new site last Thursday, away from the children. A good ending!
17 June 2013 11:57 AM #33
Here's a general update on the B. hypnorum situation in my garden and the local area as at 16th June. (High Wycombe, Bucks.)
1. My colony in the nestbox where I'd put a queen in the box, seemed to be active for only a few days, then died out.
(See notes and edited additions above in this thread - Item 15, dated 15th May.)
2. Last Wednesday (12th June), I took down the nestbox from 1. above.
2a. I installed another nestbox containing a fully active colony recovered from it's original garden (some 3-5 miles away). (It had to be re-homed: tiny garden, small kids, mounted on a shed, bees boiling out of the box when shed used.)
This colony in it's nestbox, with the entrance securely bunged-up was stored overnight in a cool place, then mounted close to the location vacated by 1. above. (This is on a brick wall about three metres above and to the side of a path, where we have had re-located B. hypnorum colonies many times over the last few years.)
Once in position, the bung was removed from the nestbox entrance hole and I moved smartly away !
There was flight activity within seconds, many re-orientation flights and foraging was soon underway.
These bees are doing well and foraging hard.
Within two days I was seeing some Drone Nest Surveillance activity - just a small number of bees, and not continuous yet.
My wife runs an Allotment some 250 metres away from the bee's location. We were already seeing a few B. hypnorum foragers working the flowers on the Raspberries down there: but the number of B. hypnorum foragers there has increased markedly since I moved the new colony to my garden. The many other foragers at these raspberries are mainly B. pratorum, especially drones; but also a few honey bees and a few B. pascuorum.
So, bringing a hypnorum colony to my garden has definitely boosted the local bumblebee foraging force.
18 June 2013 11:17 PM #34
I'm a newbie and have been so fascinated by the B. hypnorum living in our bird box that I had to write it in my personal blog a little over a week ago. The activity around the box is so frantic now that my family is worried about going in the garden. I've taken the view that we're safe as long as we don't bother them. I posted again in my blog at
yesterday and I think that I have exactly what George is describing here…
Nurturing Nature - 12 June 2013 09:02 AM
Clive, I hope you find this interesting…... it was due to your info leaflet so thanks for that!!
Tree bumblebee, B. hypnorm males dance outside of nests awaiting virgin queens.. see the dancing drones video!!
You may also find this interesting Bumblebees are eaten by some insectivorous birds. Can bees steal a birds nest? Yes they can..how? find out here
Cheers George
The little guys buzz around the box from dawn to dusk sometimes dropping back to the hole and back out again. I'm sure there were about 20 of them this morning. There're others who fly in and out bypassing all the buzzers obviously thinking about work. I'm much happier thinking that they're dancing and not defending, but does it mean that there's no queen?
How long will this last? Will I be able to clean out the box in the winter to attract more birds, or is this a beehive forever?
19 June 2013 06:13 PM #35
Hi Colin,
The "Dancing" lasts for a few weeks.
It's an example of the extreme fecundity of Nature !
It can start soon after dawn and last until dusk.
You'll see a few local inhabitant bees ignoring the cloud and flying straight in / out of the box to go foraging - these will be workers and are often quite small.
If a virgin queen (looks much bigger than the males, but still the same colouration) comes out, the male bees will chase her and try to mate. It looks like fighting. Not all attempts are successful. If they couple, it can be for an hour or more.
Be careful not to knock the box, or else the workers can become very defensive and can start to sting.
If you clean out the box afterwards (say September onwards) it should be re-useable by bees.
Other info is in my BeeCraft article accessible from the BBCT website in the About Bees area, then FAQs about Moving a colony.
Here's a link:
There are videos of the drone cloud on YouTube. (So I suggest you explore !)
I hope this helps.
19 June 2013 10:10 PM #36
Thank you, Clive. I'm definitely not going anywhere near the box and I don't think the kids will either. They do fly in wide circles, a few metres anyway, and they often travel the length of the fence either side of the box, sometimes stopping on a nearby tree. So far they're not bothering us, but we're keeping a safe distance.
Still fascinated
20 June 2013 12:22 AM #37
In my last post I said that we have wax moth intrusion in the nest. This situation hasn't changed I'm sure but the larvae/caterpillar seem to have disappeared from view and I guess are now deeper inside the nest creating havoc! While watching the monitor this evening I twice saw a wax moth inside the box! On a thought regarding 'scent' to help guide the bees into the nest along with the wax moth I wondered if there was also any visible guide too. I waited till dark and went out with a UV torch, there was nothing to indicate a visible guide but there was a wax moth on the outside of the box heading for the entrance hole! Without meaning to upset moth lovers I put the bees interests first ... say no more
The queen put in an appearance inside the box on Monday, I don't think she will take to the air again given the poor state of her wings. Like Colin we have the males 'dancing' outside the box at the moment, only between 3 and about 10 - 12 at a time, if they stood still we could count them. All we hope now is that the nest makes it through the full cycle given the wax moth problem.

Queen sized B. hypnorum collecting pollen !
Hi All,
To my surprise I saw a queen sized B. hypnorum bee collecting pollen this afternoon, from the flowerheads of a climbing Hydrangea.
I wonder if she is setting up a second generation colony ?
Any comments ?
22 June 2013 06:26 PM #39
I was under the impression that they only set up one colony Clive but then I'm still learning
On another topic, I know some of asked about how far away to stay from the B. hypnorum nests they have found in their gardens etc. especially those with lil ones, this may help.
We had done a bit in the garden yesterday, nothing major and in reality most of the work was in the neighbours garden, that done in ours was on the other side of the garden from the B. hypnorum nest box around our bee friendly patch. Anyway, we went to sit down on the garden bench to admire our handy work, we were about 8ft away from the B. hypnorum nest box, I felt something land on my head and my wife said there's a bee on your head, as she said that I felt the sting! The first word wasn't ouch but I heard it fly off and turned to see it enter the nest box hole. So, in the case of B. hypnorum I would suggest a bit more than 8 ft!
To prove this didn't put me off our buzzy friends, we saw a bee wondering drunk like across the carpet in the lounge today (Buff-tailed - B. terrestris male/worker I think), it must have entered the house yesterday when we had the patio open with the nice weather. It made it about half way across the room and stopped, slowly going over onto it's side. I went to the kitchen, added a teaspoon of sugar to a small drop of warm water and stirred. On heading back to the lounge I spoon fed the poor thing some sugar water. I've never done this before but I was actually fascinated, I could clearly see it's proboscis go into the water and it's tail started to move. It took all of about a 60 seconds then in went the proboscis, it buzzed, then took off eventually heading out the way we think it came in yesterday. I was very pleased!
22 June 2013 08:14 PM #40
We have a tree bumblebee nest in the eaves of our house in Leeds, W Yorks. Reading various sources, it doesn't seem to be a problem and as I am a keen gardener I would not like to have to get rid of the nest unless absolutely necessary. Is there any risk of them causing damage to the house?
Many thanks in anticipation.
22 June 2013 08:38 PM #41
Hello Sue,
I don't think so.
They usually make their nest in an old birds nest, but loft insulation could be a substitute.
(I know that this was used as nest material when Nikki Gammans was trying to establish artificial colonies of B.SubT in New Zealand two or three years back.)
The BB faeces are pretty liquid; and will be voided around the nest perimeter; but most house lofts are pretty dry and airy, so the fluid should quickly evaporate.
And also a spring colony such as you have is quite likely to reach peak and die out naturally around the end of July.
In an urban situation any BB colony is at risk of attack by Aphomia sociella Wax Moth, which would eat the nest, then move away to pupate.
These caterpillars are able though to nibble at wood to make themselves a snug over-wintering place, so you might see some ting localised damage to the wood surface where they have been active.
As to the garden, these bees are excellent pollinators of Raspberries, but also work many other types of flower.
I hope this helps - come back if you need any further help !
Yours Clive
22 June 2013 08:53 PM #42
Many thanks for that - we've been watching them busily pollinating the raspberries all day!
Thanks for the helpful information. We had a honeybee nest in a similar position last year and unfortunately we had to have it destroyed. The bees seem to be minding in their own business. There is quite a cloud of them outside the nest during the day and we've found several "drunk" ones on the floor.
22 June 2013 08:58 PM #43
I'm a newbie but we have a bombus hypnorum nest in our bird house and this website has gave us really great info. We are at the neste surveillance stage and have upwards of 20 bees swarming outside. The box is not very high and we have a toddler and so was considering moving it. But reading here and knowing it shouldn't last too long, we are just going to leave it. Managed to get a slow motion video of them which is pretty cool. I think the virgin queens have started to emerge as I can have seen a pair drop to the floor.
So thanks

AMD Expands Never Settle Reloaded Program Again: Launches Level Up Bundleby Ryan Smith on 5/15/2013 12:00 PM EST
20 Comments
Back to Article
plcn - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkwill they honor prior purchases like they did with blood dragon? Reply
Ryan Smith - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkNo. This is only for new buyers. Which is part of the reason it's a new bundle. Reply
plcn - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkalas. thanks for clarifying! either way, what a value. hope it works for AMD and gets them the cash they need to stay competitive (and fix crossfire along the way so I can get another 7870 + free games)! Reply
Ortanon - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkDamn. Thought I was getting an extra game again! Reply
Bob Todd - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkBalls, I was hoping they'd do something absurdly awesome and make this retroactive like the last expansion. I wouldn't mind a copy of Crysis 3.
And just FYI , they've had 7870s for ~$190 several times, and there's one right now. $211.59 before rebate (w/ 8% promo code) and $191.59 after rebate for a Double D XFX with a lifetime warranty.
For the performance and free copies of 3 new AAA games that's a pretty awesome deal. Reply
angryblanket - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkAh man, I really wanted Tomb Raider. Reply
makerofthegames - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkDamn. Now I'm *really* going to have a hard time resisting that 7950 ME I've had my eyes on.
And I just upgraded to a 6870 six months ago. Curses. Reply
LordReserei - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkTry to sell off the 6870 and go for the 7950. I went from a XFX 6870 1GB to a Gigabyte 7950 Windforce X3 3GB (came out of the box OCd at 1GHz) back in April, and like you, I didn't have the 6870 for that long (probably a little over 6 months). Switching to the 7950 was, and still is the best decision I've made regardless. Reply
makerofthegames - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkI would, except for a few things:
1) Since I'm using a Mac Pro, I'd be buying the Mac Edition, which is about $100 more expensive than a regular 7950.
2) I have a lot of other, more urgent upgrades. Like an SSD.
Really, the 6870 was fine for my purposes, until I got that new monitor. And something tells me a 7950 still isn't going to push 1440p too well. Reply
Dribble - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThis probably means AMD have too many unused Crysis and Tomb Raider keys left and need to shift them before they switch to a new bundle. Good for consumers, but even more expensive for AMD. Reply
chrnochime - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkI'd rather they fix their CCC first... Reply
Jigar2speed - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkThis is getting old, CCC works just fine, try to nit pick on crossfire please. Reply
tviceman - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkI think this is admission that AMD won't have any products to counter Nvidia's incoming 700 series lineup... but they may not need to. At the prices they are asking for the current cards, and the bundles they're offering, if Nvidia doesn't come in with better perf/$ then AMD will still have the better deals. Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkAtleast AMD are not rebranding non-OEM cards. And they publily announced all the OEM rebranding too, unlike Nvidia. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linknVidia's new series of launches has AMD scared out of their mind. Titan for the mainstream? 680-level gaming with 4GB as the baseline at current 670 pricing? Relatively cheapo 670 SLI potentials at only 660 Ti x 2 pricing? And toss in an actual new game that's not the same old, same old that most now own and have for months...
AMD doesn't want to drop prices again, but nVidia's going to force their hand. In the meantime, they're hoping to con a few people into buying in now just ahead of the new launch before they are forced to drop prices.
I imagine the "Limited Time Only" part is because when they drop prices (and they will), they're going to want to end that extra part of the promo really quickly. I'm remembering last year when they struggled to avoid dropping the 7970's pricing against the 680 and then the 670, but after all that lashing in reviews (that they could have easily avoided by pricing their cards appropriately from the start), they wound up dropping prices anyway.
Except all the reviews had been written and the 670/680 came out looking like champs while Radeons had their reputation etched for months after that as the overpriced, underperformer who ran hotter than nVidia's best.
Eventually, they got around that, but it took months upon months and TWO great bundles with TONS of games to make it happen.
AMD needs to drop prices right now, ahead of the launches. They need to get out in front of nVidia, lest they lose in these early reviews and suffer another major setback like last year. Reply
Will Robinson - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - link"AMD are scared out of their minds"?
The only truly scary thing is you posting that with a straight face.
Both the 7970GHZ and HD7950 are a better buy than either of the two you mentioned.
Please confine your trolling for NVDA to the VC&G forum where we are used to it. Reply
Mr Perfect - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkThese bundles are nice, but they're trying to sell an architecture that launched January of '12. Release something new, guys. People will line up to buy it, even without a bunch of Steam codes in the box. Reply
michaelquerty - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkI never was able to get Far Cry 3 from my 7970 bundle. I got all the games through STEAM, but FARCRY was through Ubisoft. Reply
Digital Demise - Tuesday, May 21, 2013 - linkI just bought my XFX 7950 last night (~7:30) do I get Tomb Raider for free too ? Please :)? Reply
Creig - Wednesday, May 22, 2013 - linknVidia? Release a new high performance card at a decent price? You can't possibly be referring to the same nVidia that I'm thinking of. You know, the one that just released a $1,000 single GPU video card? The same nVidia that was forced to drop the price of its GTX280 from $650 to $400 after only one month of sales because AMD released their HD4870 at $300. And then were shamed into offering its early customers a refund on the difference by way of apologizing for picking their pockets? Nvidia may be a lot of things, but altruistic isn't one of them.

While technology is certainly a necessary – and beneficial – tool in educating 21st century students, it also comes with its own inherent set of dangers and risks.

Furthermore, students may need to be protected from themselves.

There's a Hole in My Sweater
That's right…a hole in my brand new, mint green sweater. As I arrived to work on this Denim Day, I reached for the appropriate awareness button on my cubicle wall (please tell me I am not the only one with a plethora of pins and buttons for every social justice activist occasion). But what a dilemma…do I put the button on my new sweater, thus risking a hole? I thought about attaching it to my scarf, but again…the hole. Then I got mad. WHY do I even have to make this choice? I now have a hole in my sweater, thanks to an Italian Supreme Court that made a horrendous decision years ago to overturn a rape conviction because the victim wore tight jeans. "Hashtag patriarchy" (direct quote from my cubicle mate).
The fact is, we are still battling victim-blaming attitudes and misconceptions about rape 15 years later. So on goes the button, hole in the sweater and all.
I'm heading to the grocery store soon, where I hope someone asks about my button. Because I didn't put a hole in my sweater for nothing.
What prevention activities are you involved with this Denim Day? Let us know my commenting below!
What a coincidence!
I have a hole in my blazer today, for the same reason you have one in your sweater.
Love it!! :) good to know I am not alone in this.
