Ketones are substances produced in the liver when fat cells break down in the blood. A serum ketone test is a measurement of how many ketones are in the blood.
Acetone bodies; Ketones - serum; Nitroprusside test; Ketone bodies - serum; Ketones - blood
Blood is most often drawn from a vein. The vein usually used is on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
Theprocedure is done in the following way:
In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. Afterward, a bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
No preparation is needed.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel slight pain or only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is used to diagnose ketoacidosis.
A normal test result would be negative, meaning there are no ketones in the blood.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your health care provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
A test result is positive if ketones are found in the blood. This may indicate:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Drawing blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
A diet low in carbohydrates can increase ketones.

CYP3A4 enzyme induction and inhibition by drugs and other xenobiotics is a significant cause of adverse drug-drug interactions. To predict the potential for these outcomes early in drug discovery, compounds are tested for their capacity to induce or inhibit conversion of a probe substrate to a specific product by the CYP3A4 enzyme. A new, highly selective and sensitive CYP3A4 probe substrate, luciferin isopropyl acetal (Luciferin-IPA), was synthesized for use in rapid bioluminescent cell-based and cell-free CYP3A4 assays. Bioluminescent enzyme substrates are proluciferins that are converted by the enzymes of interest to a luciferin that is detected in a bioluminescent reaction with luciferase. This enables assays that correlate light output with target enzyme activity.
Out of 21 human CYP enzymes luciferin-IPA only showed activity with the CYP3A subfamily, having 14 and 161 fold selectivity for CYP3A4 over CYP3A5 and CYP3A7, respectively. Cell free luciferin-IPA enzyme assays were sensitive to inhibition by known CYP3A4 inhibitors and were readily configured for IC50 determinations using either recombinant CYP3A4 or human liver microsomes. CYP3A4 induction was measured in rapid, 96-well, human hepatocyte assays where activity was increased by known CYP3A4 inducers. The luciferin-IPA/CYP3A4 hepatocyte assay was easily configured in a multiplex application with a cell viability assay that provided a means for normalizing CYP enzyme activity to viable cell number. While luciferin-IPA/CYP3A4 induction and inhibition data was virtually identical to data from conventional CYP3A4 testosterone 6-b hydroxylation assays, the luminescent assays were simpler, more sensitive and substantially quicker. Luciferin-IPA assays enable early ADME screening with high throughput and rapid turn around times.

Pottery has released the creativity of Emery High student Jake Sehestedt, Sehestedt is currently enrolled in Mike Royal's ceramic class. The class started working on three projects involving clay. The students shape the clay with their own hands and do not use a pottery wheel at this point in their learning. Royal said, "The slab pot was the project where the students take a large slab of clay and mold it. Jake went all out on this project. His project ended up as a cowboy."
For Jake's pinch project he ended up dividing the clay in the middle and branching the clay out into tree branches. He gave eyes and a mouth to the project and it ended up looking like a tree with a definite personality.
The other two projects worked with coiling the clay and the other was a slab project. Both of Jake's projects took on lives of their own as one project turned into a monster with a very large eye and mouth with hair. The other project ended up being a cowboy flower pot where the hat will come off and the bottom can be used to store change and other items.
Jake said this is his first time working with clay and ceramics and he just started the project and his creations took on their own character. The class has now moved on to creating pottery on the wheel.
Jake is the son of Tiffany and Mike Christensen of Emery. Grandma Barbara Sehestedt is very proud of Jake's creations.
Jake is a junior at Emery High and he likes to draw and skateboard. He is interested in building a career as an artist and involving technology with his art. Which direction that will take him he doesn't know yet, but his uniqueness and creativity will lead the way.
Royal said in all his years of teaching art Jake has been the most creative with his core projects.

Allman Brothers Band to bid farewell with Beacon Theatre shows
The Allman Brothers Band appears ready to wind down their touring era with a return to the Beacon Theatre in October, billed at the band's 'final concerts.'
According to Billboard, guitarist Butch Trucks said last week, "That's the way for this incarnation of the band to go out, one final, short Beacon run."
Trucks and longtime co-lead guitarist Warren Haynes announced early in the year that they'd be leaving the band at the end of 2014, to focus on their respective bands. The 14-year run of the current lineup has been the longest of the band's history, and the end of touring activity for the band marks its 45th anniversary.
In a noteworthy coincidence, the final show of their current itinerary wuld have the band taking their final bows in the early hours of October 29th, the 43rd anniversary of the death of band co-founder Duane Allman.
Still, at least in January, singer Gregg Allman wan't yet ready to say that things were final. "Who's to say?" he said to Relix, "We may get together every five years and just do one play at a time."

Virgin Blue Commences Legal Proceedings Against Sydney Airport26/08/2002
Virgin Blue has commenced proceedings in the Commercial Division of the New South Wales Supreme Court against Sydney Airport Corporation Limited (SACL).
Virgin Blue is asking the Court to uphold the agreement the company reached last April with SACL for access and long term use of gates at the former Ansett terminal.
The documents lodged in court today detail around 150 points of agreement between Virgin Blue and SACL.
In its action, Virgin Blue alleges that SACL entered into a legally binding agreement during meetings in April with senior SACL executives.
Virgin Blue also alleges that, as a result of SACL assuring Virgin Blue that there was a legally binding agreement, neither Virgin Blue nor Patrick Corporation bid to acquire the Ansett Terminal from the Ansett administrators.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey said, "Virgin Blue and Patrick made a series of significant commercial decisions as a result of the agreement with SACL and we will be asking the court to uphold and enforce the arrangements.
We are confident we have a very strong case and, given the importance of this matter, we will be seeking an urgent hearing, "Brett Godfrey said.
Virgin Blue is also considering taking action under national competition laws to gain fair access to Sydney Airport.
Among the options being considered is to have terminal access and other services at Sydney Airport declared under Part IIIA of the Trade Practices Act. This section of the Act provides a right of access to monopoly services that are nationally significant and important to the promotion of competition.
Declaration of Sydney Airport under the Trade Practices Act would give the ACCC the power to arbitrate in disputes over access, price and other terms of access for airport users.
Brett Godfrey added, "We believe it may be necessary to have Sydney Airport brought back under regulation by the ACCC to stop the exorbitant price hikes which are being demanded by SACL."

Obtain a Law Enforcement Pass
The Law Enforcement Security Enhancement Program (LESEP) came about as a result of BART's Inter-Departmental Task Force on Fare Evasion in an effort to reduce Fare Evasion in the BART System, which is a major problem. LESEP is part of our strategy to reduce these losses by providing authorized, secured BART system access to active, full-time, sworn Officers and District Attorney Investigators from pre-authorized SF Bay Area Law Enforcement Agencies. To be eligible, a Peace Officer has to have the authority to carry a firearm while off-duty. As part of LESEP, authorized Officers will receive BART ID cards also known as LEO passes, which allow BART-riding privileges. For questions regarding the LESEP, call the LESEP hotline at 1-877-679-7000, option #9, then option #4. For more information on LESEP:

Pacific Blues domestic in-time performance stays at high altitude in February10/03/2010
Wednesday 10 March 2010: Pacific Blue continued a strong start to the year recording a domestic on-time performance result of 94.4% in February. This follows a January figure of 94.9%.
Pacific Blue CEO, Mark Pitt, said he believed the airline's positive on-time performance record was helping to build loyalty in the competitive domestic market.
"Pacific Blue was the first airline in New Zealand to regularly publish its domestic on-time performance results and we believe the message is getting through, especially to the corporate market.
"Domestic travellers understand that good on-time performance reflects an airline's commitment to excellent service. It shows we respect our Guests and we appreciate that their time is valuable."
For the past six months the airline had achieved a monthly result of between 90% and 96% domestic on-time performance, with an average monthly figure of more than 93.5%.
"As a new world carrier, we focus on providing value for money and high-quality service. Everyone in our business understands the importance of on-time performance to the Guest experience," Mr Pitt said.
Pacific Blue has been publishing its domestic on-time performance data on its website since July 2009, with data for the past 12 months.
On-time is counted as flights that depart within 15 minutes of their scheduled departure time. Pacific Blue makes no exceptions for bad weather, air traffic control, delays from suppliers, unscheduled maintenance, consequences of previous delays or anything else.
Pacific Blue's domestic on-time performance is easily found on its website at www.flypacificblue.com via the "Flight Info" menu button

Skip to comments.Whites attacked by blacks for walking
Posted on 05/05/2013 5:33:20 AM PDT by Anila
When a black mob attacked two reporters in Norfolk, Va., last year, the editor of the Virginian-Pilot newspaper said it was just a street altercation and he had no proof of racial motivation.
But even the most diehard denier of the epidemic of black mob violence around the country will find this case difficult to explain away: Three white men in Georgia were allegedly robbed and assaulted and almost killed in April by a group of black people, all because of the color of their skin.
At least that is what the victims told the local sheriff.
Most examples of black mob violence are not that neat. Reporters say they want some kind of written statement or spoken account from the perpetrators professing their racial animosity.
Absent that, they say even a tidal wave of evidence of mob violence committed almost exclusively by black people around the country does not show race had anything to do with anything. But thanks to WND readers, there is this: Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2013/05/whites-attacked-by-blacks-for-walking/#TKDceLoTG7dF7hMV.99
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
There will be no peace now in the melting pot known as America.
The race-bating types like Obama, Jackson, Sharpton, et al, have won. They've proven their point that Whites, negroes and Muslims can never live together in peace.
The fools who continually stated that 'Diversity is our Strength' were merely whistling as they passed a cemetery.
Whitey is passé. Kick him to death. He's just an irrelevant honky.
Here's the thing: because this happened, doesn't mean all black people act that way towards white people, because they don't.
But it doesn't mean that those black people didn't act in that fashion towards these unsuspecting people, because that does happen, and did in this case.
I feel a satisfying sense of peace with a loaded .357 mag resting snugly on my hip. Very comforting.
Carry (concealed or open) EVERYWHERE!
If a business is openly anti-gun, don't patronize them. These racist thugs need to think, "Before I attack this white boy, is my life worth it?"
Those black people arre a product of the obama generation. Promote tacial hatred, play the race card as often as possible, and get in their face because they are holding you down.
obama has done nothing but divide this nation from the moment he stepped into the glare of his own limelight.
They weren't fools; they wanted this. The more strife there is, the more disputes government must settle. That takes more police, more lawyers, psychologists, more parole officers, more welfare bureaucrats... more Democrats wielding more power.
Well, mostly. Diversity is our strength if you happen to be correctly diverse.
There can never be admittance that blacks are targeting whites for violence because our government has been a major cause of it. All the Federal funds poured into social programs, the black history month campaigns, the Pigford cash, the hate crime legislation, the Congressional 'Black' Caucus, gerrymandered districts, etc., have all been a nod to the black community that they are owed something and that admission directly foments their hatred of whitey.
Practice loading and unloading with snap caps. Also, make sure you get enough range time to practice stance, grip, sight picture and trigger control - for as much stopping power as they possess, .357s can be tough to control in a high-adrenaline situation.
Personally, I carry a high-cap (10-round) .45ACP and and least one spare mag. It's getting seriously weird out there.
There is a lot of Black Ku Klux Klan style racism around... and so many stupid White Guilt Liberals who deny it exists
When they see the gun, they run. There are too many unarmed victims to risk getting shot by an armed one.
Divers, all know what the effects of compressed gas are underwater. Diver training teaches that lungs would burst from over-inflation. This principle is key to the effectiveness of the WASP Injection System.
This weapon injects a freezing cold ball of compressed gas, approximately the size of a basketball, at 800psi nearly instantly. The effects of this injection will drop many of the world's largest land predators.
>>There is a lot of Black Ku Klux Klan style racism around... and so many stupid White Guilt Liberals who deny it exists
I was searching around for good links to Colin Flaherty and White Girl Bleed a Lot before I realized SkyPilot had that covered. High on the list of search hits was an article in Salon by an SPLC type essentially denouncing WND and Flaherty for reporting reality, and of course calling them racists.
The SPLC is stupid White Guilt Liberals on steroids.
Love the feel of my Smith & Wesson Model 28 by my side...
Incidents such as the one you posted is what the people, particularily White people, said, via their votes they wanted.Liegons of Whites voted for obama for no other reason than that he is perceived to be Black [Negroid]while, in fact, he is not. He is African Semitic[Arabic]. But they do not care. They see him as Black and are saying, again via their votes,"Oh please punish us 'o obama, we bow to you, worship you and beg you to punish us for the sin of being born White". It is being done.
I have the same feeling with a Kimber 5" 1911 w/ 230gr HPs and 5 extra mags.
You are right. Of course not all black people act that way towards whites.
5% of them voted against Obama
It's the other 95% that do these things.
What you have noted is true. There are black Americans and there are feral black non Americans.
The question then becomes, can the minority of a minority exert adequate influence to tame the wild ones?
Leftists and progressives who spew that mantra are exhibiting one hallmark of the liberal mind. It's called Magic Thinking. It is a huge leap away from rational thinking, from assimilating facts to reach logical conclusions. Magic thinking is also a hallmark of the jugle mind which sees spirits in animals and trees, which illustrates its body for totem power, and which slaughters an 'other' to acquire that ones soul power.
As illustration I give you Tom Harkin screaming 'stand up for Paul' at Paul Wellstone's funeral assemblage. Harkin sought to invoke the spirit of Paul, for exploitation among fellow magic thinkers. Tom Harkin is a classic modern day Maagic Thinker. The democrip party is rife with them and the little bastard boy running the country is a prime example, too.
Trust me, this hatred of blacks for whites was as present in the Reagan era as it is now. The only difference now is that the blacks are shrinking in relevancy due to lower birthrates and immigration of other races.
There's yer trouble.
The bane of our existence is the ghetto dwelling felonious urban black. Starting at birth, they are conditioned to accept and embrace chaos in their homes and criminal behavior reflecting a unique lack of impulse control. There is nothing to compare this mess with, except, to a degree, the behavior of white trash of the Maury Show variety. Liberals who have never been exposed to the urban negro in its natural habitat except in abstract terms shoveled into their minds in their social justice classes in college only start wising up when they are on the business end of a savage pack beatdown. How does it feel you liberal asshats, to come to the realization that wearing an Obama button ain't gonna save you?
I am armed heavily wherever I go (enhanced CCW permit in hand)... almost everyone in Mississippi is armed to the teeth. On July 1, we start open carry. I may start toting an AR15 carbine on my back. ;-) I am NEVER without my 45 ACP.
Just recently dusted off the wheel gun. Been wearing a Browning Hi-Power for years, but its kind of a flashy thing and has way to many safeties on it for my liking. I got some new leather and a real nice new (small enough) grip that I can really hold onto. It bucks and twists a bit with the snubby barrel, and turns into a real ball of fire after dark, but you cant beat that warm fuzzy feeling!
Always remain calm. No warning shots.
Multiculturalism and diversity have never been about peace, especially towards white people. The left doesn't do color blindness.
That will be up to us.
I am concerned sometimes about people who carry semi-autos but refuse to carry them in a ready condition (round in the chamber) as though they will have time to rack a slide in the presence of a close-in threat condition; that is not a good idea when seconds count and your body's adrenaline is giving you tunnel vision and cranking up your heart rate. Nothing wrong with having a thumb safety engaged while in the holster, but it's something you have to practice repeatedly so that your thumb moves on instinct before you level the front sight.
And you're right on about "no warning shots". If the bad guy(s) don't back off and still constitute a mortal threat after you've presented your weapon, your duty to withdraw has expired. Remaining calm and focused is a function of the confidence earned by training and forethought.
The good thing is, most criminal types will quickly disappear and find someone else to prey upon once they see you are armed.
I read a hypothetical situation, about a business that offered discreet "hunting trips" to the US from the UK, for a substantial fee. It was very exclusive and very difficult to book without references.
If someone was accepted, they would fly to the US, then on arrival be evaluated for proficiency with a fighting knife, and given training as needed.
They would be issued clothes and a knife, and then with a two man support team, be put on a city street late at night, and told to walk a route. If they were attacked they would use their knife to respond with lethal force. Then they would be evacuated, cleaned up, with their clothes and knife destroyed. If possible, a gallon of bleach would be poured over the cadaver to destroy any stray DNA evidence.
If the situation got out of control, their support team had silenced guns; but as in such situations, there was an element of risk.
Likewise, if nobody deigned to attack the hunter, a rain check would be issued, good for a week.
Wren circle has been retaken.
Call it "Walking while White".
I don't have a CCW,here in Missouri it has been Open Carry since the 1800's. I have opened carried on a couple occasions when my wife had to go into a questionable neighborhood at night. I have a 45 auto(1911)and I can guarantee you my 45 was cocked and locked.
Thats always "Plan A". Sometimes trouble finds you.
When are we going to stop calling left wing batsh*t nutballs 'reporters' and 'journalists'?
where is the fighting back?.....docile people accepting being beaten by bullies?.....like a battered wife.....are people afraid to fight back?....
we're not talking normal black people...almost always these mobs are idiot feral animal types...young, black arrogant animals....
That is correct. The left enjoys painting us as if we were talking about all blacks in that fashion. In Alinsky fashion, of course.
Good description. They do live in a world other than ours.
Been there
Done all that.
But ...fortunately....they felt my sting too
You grow up in true Dixie from 1980 and it was hard to avoid with young black men feeling their oats and all
nowadays in parts of Dixie young lower class white men are bitches thru and thru
collaborators to their black thug culture overlords they mimic and envy
their ancestors would hang them
hell i might if it was legal
up until the late 70s blacks were far less hostile to whites down here...fear maybe or just better Christian raised...or both
first black anger I ever felt was up north in 1982 in NYC subway
the seething glares from blacks when my drawl opened up
but to be fair and I am in Mississippi a lot
other than urban black youth...most blacks in my homestate even though Dems are really nice compared even to further north in Nashville much less the rustbelt
in the Delta or country areas I am in a sea of blacks quite a lot and rarely feel threatened in general
and older blacks are pretty warm
Doesn't look that useful in a fight. Further, such an odd weapon would guarentee you would be charged, even if in the right. Better to stick with a pistol.
Would cause the viuc's whole chest to explode, giving you time to reach, aim, and fire, your handgun; if you can stand the stench, from all the feces that the remaining perps just filled their pants with.
I'll pass.
Reset is going to be a bitch.

Skip to comments.The bees who flew too high.
Posted on 04/02/2007 5:45:35 AM PDT by EarthBound
Imagine an aquarium containing a fish. Imagine also that you are unable to see the aquarium directly and your knowledge about it and what it contains comes from two television cameras, one directed at the aquariums front and the other directed at its side. As you stare at the two television monitors, you might assume that the fish on each of the screens are separate entities. After all, because the cameras are set at different angles, each of the images will be slightly different. But as you continue to watch the two fishes, you will eventually become aware that there is a certain relationship between them. When one turns, the other also makes a slightly different but corresponding turn; when one faces the front, the other always faces toward the side. If you remain unaware of the full scope of the situation, you might even conclude that the fish must be instantaneously communicating with one another, but this is clearly not the case.1
If there are processes in this universe of which we are unaware of the full scope, perhaps the only way to observe them is using the multi-camera metaphor. In this ballet - which has the tragedy of the prospect of agricultural collapse, the triumph of the idea of biological interaction with quantum processes, and the drama of far away forces dancing within our presences - we can become part of the dance as we expertly shift our camera views like an experienced television producer. In the process, a mystery may be solved, one making many of us (and perhaps not enough of us) nervous lately.
Camera One: Honeybees
The first reports began in November of bees mysteriously disappearing. Not just one or two, but entire colonies of tens of thousands of bees at a time. As temperatures have warmed and it has become safe to open hives, the extent of losses is grave:
In Michigan, Terry Klein, vice president of the Michigan Beekeepers Association and a commercial beekeeper, said reports of huge losses are beginning to arrive.
One beekeeper started with 1,500 hives and had only 500 colonies left, Klein said. Over three or four more weeks, he lost 70 percent of those.2
Assuming a winter population of approximately 20,000 bees, this would leave losses for one beekeeper at 27 million bees! The losses have been widespread in North America, with some beekeepers loosing up to 80 percent of their hives. Over 400 reports have come in from at least 22 states so far. Given the extent of losses, the most puzzling thing is the lack of dead bees:
Although the bodies of dead bees often are littered around a hive, sometimes carried out of the hive by worker bees, no bee remains are typically found around colonies struck by the mystery ailment. Scientists assume these bees have flown away from the hive before dying.
27 million dead bees in a relatively small area should leave some physical evidence. Unless there is an extremely efficient physical process (like a phantom bee-eater) or a much wider geographical distribution of bee carcasses upon their demise, a very strange phenomenon is at work. Curiously, it has been noted that something similar happened in North America approximately 50 years ago.

Camera Two: Sunspots
Sunspots follow an approximate 11-year cycle, corresponding to increases in solar activity. This solar activity causes geomagnetic effects during the peaks, but effects on earths magnetic field also occur during the minimums. Using these observations, scientists have predicted that the next solar maximum, expected to peak in 2010, could be the most intense ever. The measurement that allows the the prediction is called Inter-hour Variability. Combined with another observation on the sun, Physicist David Hathaway noticed a correlation that allowed prediction of solar activity 6-8 years later. In his observations, the last time something similar to the IHV measurements he sees today happened was about 50 years ago.
I feel it coming and Ive got to get out of its way - Nine Inch Nails, Sunspots
Watching The Dance
Aside from the fact that most children would use the same crayons to draw both sunspots and honeybees, how could they two be related? Barbara Shipman, mathematician and daughter of a bee researcher, first noticed something peculiar about the dance bees use to describe where pollen sources are located to other bees. Observed over 40 years by Karl von Firsh, these movements seemed an overly complex way to convey information, especially in insect behavior. No one had yet made sense of the dance the bee scouts performed on returning to a hive, but one thing was clear. All of the dance was based on a triangulation of the hive, the food source, and the sun. Shipman first studied bees because her father left the bee books in her room, and later studied them in her freshman year as a biochemistry major. It was not until she delved into mathematics that she penetrated the enigmatic mystery of the dance. She was studying flag manifolds, mathematical constructs used in projecting multi-dimensional phenomena into fewer dimensions when something from childhood became clear:
One day Shipman was busy projecting the six-dimensional residents of the flag manifold onto two dimensions. The particular technique she was using involved first making a two-dimensional outline of the six dimensions of the flag manifold. This is not as strange as it may sound. When you draw a circle, you are in effect making a two-dimensional outline of a three- dimensional sphere. As it turns out, if you make a two-dimensional outline of the six-dimensional flag manifold, you wind up with a hexagon. The bees honeycomb, of course, is also made up of hexagons, but that is purely coincidental. However, Shipman soon discovered a more explicit connection. She found a group of objects in the flag manifold that, when projected onto a two-dimensional hexagon, formed curves that reminded her of the bees recruitment dance. The more she explored the flag manifold, the more curves she found that precisely matched the ones in the recruitment dance. I wasnt looking for a connection between bees and the flag manifold, she says. I was just doing my research. The curves were nothing special in themselves, except that the dance patterns kept emerging.5
Since then, researchers have discovered that things such as the polarization of the light of the sun and local variations of the earths magnetic field affect the components of the dance, suggesting bees have sensitivities that would require re-writing our biology, physics and cosmology texts from scratch:
There is some research to support the view that bees are sensitive to effects that occur only on a quantum-mechanical scale. One study exposed bees to short bursts of a high-intensity magnetic field and concluded that the bees response could be better explained as a sensitivity to an effect known as nuclear magnetic resonance, or nmr, an acronym commonly associated with a medical imaging technique. nmr occurs when an electromagnetic wave impinges on the nuclei of atoms and flips their orientation. nmr is considered a quantum mechanical effect because it takes place only if each atom absorbs a particular size packet, or quantum, of electromagnetic energy.
If this were not enough, the results imply that bees can perceive quarks, thereby interacting with the quantum world without disturbing it in the ways both observed and predicted by quantum theory. And this perception would have to extend to the perception of quarks not as coherent structures, but as fields. In other words, bees may be able to perceive the unobserved quantum fields of zero-point energy, the much-debated property from which all of the phenomenal world may emerge in the eternal quantum moment.
The Stage: Sun and Earth
Other than the coincidence that a similar disappearance of bees and the precursor to a strong sunspot cycle both occurred at the same time, just as is happening now, how could such revelations be related to the solar cycle? Science is still at a loss to explain the power of the suns magnetic field, or the Solar Dynamo. A set of observations seem all to relate, yet the observations cannot be explained individually or together:
A successful model for the solar dynamo must explain several observations: 1) the 11-year period of the sunspot cycle, 2) the equator-ward drift of the active latitude as seen in the butterfly diagram, 3) Hales polarity law and the 22-year magnetic cycle, 4) Joys law for the observed tilt of sunspot groups and, 5) the reversal of the polar magnetic fields near the time of cycle maximum as seen in the magnetic butterfly diagram.7
Taking a cue from the bees, we can look at spin as a common component. Spin is a property of quantum particles that can be manipulated, and is a fundamental component of both NMR and quantum computers. Spin is complex conceptually, especially given the fact that the most simple description of the spin of Fermions (the particles that make up matter as we know it) is 1/2. This means that if you could hold one of these particles and mark a spot on it with a Sharpie, you would have to turn it 720 degrees around in your hand to see the mark once again. Quarks, the particle bees may interact with, also have spin 1/2. The concept of spherical harmonics is used to visualize the effects of spin. Using spherical harmonics, the sun can also be visualized as a six-dimensional body with three rotational components. In another simple visualization, a two-dimensional flatlander would have a great deal of difficulty explaining an eight-ball intersecting her space while rotating both horizontally and vertically. It would seem to her that the disc she observed (the portion of the eight-ball intersecting with her plane) had a spin of 1/2. If she then used spherical harmonics to describe the object, she would be able to make some mathematical predictions about its structure and behavior, even without having an ability to visualize or perceive the third dimension directly. In our visualization of the sun, such a correlation of observable phenomena should be striking if indeed the sun is a six dimensional structure:
Here we see the sun in six dimensions (above) rotating, the magnetic component (poles) waxing, waning and switching on a 22-year cycle (magnetic flux and the Hale cycle), the 11-year butterfly pattern (the Schwabe cycle, the Omega effect accounting for the stretching in actual observation). The red and blue parts of the image above correspond with the real component of the wave function described by the spherical harmonic (sunspots and solar wind), while the yellow and green describe the imaginary component. Could this imaginary component correspond to an effect similar to the solar wind that interacts with the unobserved quantum field?
The Smoking Gun
The solar probe Ulysses circumpolar orbit took it below the south pole of the sun this past winter. While there, sunspot 938 put on the most energetic performance of any sunspot in four years, ejecting a particle storm that would have been a ground-level event (penetrating the entire atmosphere) had it been directed at earth. Instead, it was directed towards the south pole, shattering current models of solar functioning. If we consider such a particle stream to be a secondary stream to the imaginary component of the solar field that would be dominant during a solar minimum, then the quantum field to which the bees may be sensitive could have been disturbed. Or, the bees could have lost navigation, possibly abandoning the hive as one of the directional components of either the quantum field or local terrestrial magnetic variations moved drastically closer to the sun. They may have flown skyward, attempting to keep up with the rapidly moving target of home in six dimensions. Or, hyperdimentsional bee-eaters could have emerged from the sunspot, phasing the bees out of existence on contact (given the evidence, anything is possible, and equally strange. Dont get me wrong, I dont consider this to be very likely to say the least). Similar events could have happened 50 years ago when geomagnetic events preceded the most active solar cycle recorded. Bee disappearances were reported across the southern United States in the time preceding the increased activity. Physicist David Hathaway:
We dont know why this works, says Hathaway. The underlying physics is a mystery. But it does work.
Enough anecdotal evidence and coincidence combined with solid observation also exists to link the disappearance of the bees with changes in the sun, even if the reason why the cameras show correlation in the dance is not clear.

Pinging you guys. Think you might find this interesting.
"Oh bother."
Paging Samantha Carter, please pick up the white phone in the lobby to explain bees and sun and quantum physics report...:-)
Here in NC a beekeeper neighbor to my brother's farm has lost nearly all his hives in the past year.
If they didn't loose them then they'd not lose them.
lol. That's pretty funny.
It does not explain the anecdotal reports that I'm hearing that the problem is mostly affecting migratory colonies used for pollination. I'll have to re-read the article, perhaps there might be an "angle" whereby stationary colonies are just that more stabalized, they are not affected as much. In the bee club wintering poll, I can say that just about everyone with up to 3 hives (these would all be stationary), had all come thru the winter.
I now have 3 colonies, all stationary in the same spots for 4 years. All made it thru the winter, and one in particular. This one hive is full to the brim - it has the population a normal hive might have in late July ( it took me getting stung in the ear to determine this! they stung me thru the veil where I guess my ear was brushing up against it). I'm sure I'm gonna see some swarming in the future from this hive, although I added the first honey super to give them some more room and hold off swarming if possible.
Another honey bee article , worldnetdaily had a missing honey bee article printed yesterday too.
Absolutely fascinating. Thanks for posting this.
LOL. How long did you have to wait for the perfect story to show up on FR to use that animated gif? :-)
Np. I read this a couple of times and was just blown away. Even if it doesn't explain the missing bees, it sure posits some interesting ideas!
She's offworld, chasing a rogue Goa'uld through the Eighth Dimension.
Goa'uld as Democrats--whaddaya think? ;-)
Bees as keepers of a quantum flame... intriguing hypothesis. Can anyone suggest requisite experiments, combining mathematics of six-dimensional constructs with physical instrumentalities in our local 4-D cosmos?
I've been thinking that for a long time. It's the only reasonable explanation for several of them.
Cell Phone signals are killing the bees.
[I know, I know ...it's a wasp]
How do you get started with bees? I'd like to do this in my yard.
Does algore know?
The Goreacle knows all. Just ask him. You may have to buy some carbon credits to get to him.
Scully, where are you? I smell a new X-File...
Interesting. (bump)
I really made a silly comment just to bump your thread and I plan to come back and read it again.
Lol. I wish I came up with it. Thanks for the BTTT.
I started by signing up for an evening adult ed at a local school, run by a local bee club. We used "Beekeeping for Dummies" (what else!?), available from Amazon. Check out some beekeeping supply houses on the web (MannLake, Betterbee, Dadant and others).
It will cost about $300 to setup your first hive, plus $70 for 3 lbs of bees with queen (she is kept separated till you populate the hive). If you live in a northern clime, you'd probably be best to learn now, and plan for a hive or two in April 2008.
How do you get started with bees? I'd like to do this in my yard.
Check for your state beekeepers association. They can probably point you to a local association or beekeeper who can get you started. Beekeepers tend to be extremely friendly and helpful, and there's no substitute for local information when it comes to beekeeping.
For the record, how many freepers besides me have actually observed the bee waggle dannce?
Find a local bee keeper group, attend a meeting. Find a mentor there who will help you get started.
Now, that is within the next 2 or 3 weeks, is the best time to start. You buy a hive and a package of bees and voila....you're a bee keeper.
Bee keepers are like FReepers they like one another but have varying ideas on how to do any thing.
It's tough keeping bees at present. They die off.
I have.
Bee keepers are like FReepers they like one another but have varying ideas on how to do any thing.
The beekeeper who got me started thirty years ago, said that the trouble with bees is that they don't read the beekeeping books.
I have been using Blossom Set for several years now on my tomato plants due to lack of bees and heat. One theory is that there is a bee mite killing off bees .
Just got through cleaning out my hive. There wasn't one dead bee in the hive. In past springs when the hive did not overwinter, I would find a mass of dead bees in the hive. Very strange.
This has been on my mind. Thanks for a great post.
I find it absolutely marvelous the way nature works and the manner in which God has manifest Himself into His creation.
I'm also fascinated with "imaginary" numbers and am more sure now that they're simply results we don't yet understand. Sure, we use them in everyday work, electronics and the like. Mostly, I like to think of Einstein's quadratic equation, and wonder if we can use the imaginary solutions in a way to move FTL. Whew, that was a rambler.
Not sure, but this lady knits fractals...
Shameless BTTT
EB ths will make our other pollinators like the bats and hummingbirds more precious.
Thank you for thinking about me with this information. It's greatly appreciated......Ping
thanks, saved for later.

Share Vegan Success Stories with the World
Share Vegan Success Stories with the World
PCRM receives countless e-mails and letters from people who have transformed their health with a vegan diet. Success Stories on PCRM.org is the new place to read about them and get inspired, learn how to try out a vegan diet, and share your lifesaving plant-based health makeover.
The Success Stories interactive map allows visitors to find people in their area and across the globe who have participated in the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart or used one of PCRM's many nutrition resources to reverse diabetes, lose weight, or experience dozens of other health benefits. Their motivational transformations—often featuring before-and-after photos and video—are also searchable by type of success.
Visitors who are inspired can use the Success Stories nutrition resources and recipes to get started on a vegan diet and soon share their message of improved health.
Harold Ward of Byron Bay, Australia, learned about a plant-based diet when he read 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart by PCRM president Neal Barnard, M.D. "Now we feel like a million bucks!" he says. Since he began a vegan diet, his gout that he had for more than a decade disappeared, and he was able to stop taking the medications he used to treat the disease. He and his wife also experienced weight loss and increased energy.
Beth Perera of Goshen, Vt., first learned about the benefits of a vegan diet when she read Skinny Bitch by Kickstart coach Rory Freedman. Then she watched Forks Over Knives, which features PCRM president Neal Barnard, M.D. She soon purged her kitchen and never looked back. Perera eliminated her joint pain and swelling within seven months of removing dairy and other animal products from her diet. She is now a PCRM Food for Life cooking instructor.
Tovah Terranova of San Diego learned about a plant-based diet through PCRM Kickstart coach and Crazy Sexy Cancer author Kris Carr. Since then, she has participated in several PCRM Food for Life classes and says a vegan diet has helped her reverse her rheumatoid arthritis, interstitial cystitis, fibromyalgia, depression, and anxiety.

Center for Global Citizenship Dedication
The entire SLU community is invited to attend the blessing and dedication of SLU's newest center Friday, Sept. 27.Event Details: 6:30 p.m., September 27, Center for Global Citizenship
|SLU's West Pine Gym underwent extensive renovations in order to be transformed into the new Center for Global Citizenship. File photo
Saint Louis University will dedicate the Center for Global Citizenship at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27. All members of the SLU community are invited to attend.
University President Emeritus Lawrence Biondi, S.J., and Interim President William R. Kauffman are among those scheduled to speak. Biondi also will bless the new facility.
Following the dedication, attendees will be encouraged to tour the center.
Built in 1925, the West Pine Gym, later known as the Bauman-Eberhardt Center, played an important role in campus life, hosting athletic events, commencements and speakers, including Martin Luther King Jr. in 1964.
In 2012, Saint Louis University spent $8.8 million renovating the 88-year-old building, which now houses the 1,000-seat C.S. Huh Auditorium and the AT&T Student Commons.
The building also is home to the Center for Intercultural Studies, Cross Cultural Center, Center for Service and Community Engagement, International Studies Program, and offices for international and cultural student groups.
The renovation of the gymnasium is the second and final phase of SLU's Center for Global Citizenship initiative, which also includes Des Peres Hall. That building was renovated in 2010, and now houses internationally focused academic and student support programs, as well as the Center for Sustainability.

text: Twin Engine recorded about an album's worth of country-rock with pop and Beatles flavors in 1971, though it didn't see the light of day until it was issued on a self-titled CD in 2004. Though it was derivative of bigger California acts such as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and the Flying Burrito Brothers, it was well done, with good duo vocal harmonies. Any chance it had of getting a wider hearing at the time was dashed when their hoped-for deal with a bigger label fell apart. Twin Engine were the Los Angeles duo of singer/songwriters Constantine Gusias and Randy Naylor, who wrote about equal shares of the dozen songs that ended up getting issued more than three decades after they were recorded. Naylor had been a guitarist-keyboardist-vocalist in the minor L.A. late-'60s, folk-pop-rock band the Poor, who put out four singles. (The Poor's main claim to fame included a pre-Poco/Eagles Randy Meisner in the lineup, as well as future New Riders of the Purple Sage Allen Kemp and Patrick Shanahan.) After the Poor broke up, Naylor hooked up with local guitarist and singer/songwriter Constantine Gusias, coming to the attention of songwriter/performer/producer Joey Stec (who had been in the Millennium). With Ralph Scala of the Blues Magoos, he produced sessions with Twin Engine (made up of Gusias and Naylor) in 1971, and including contributions by Southern Californian folk, country, and rock heavyweights Clarence White, Chris Hillman, and Sneaky Pete Kleinow. As Stec and Scala had a production deal with United Artists, there was hope that Twin Engine could release product through that label. But that ended when Stec and Scala were let go by United Artists, and Twin Engine broke up; Gusias has said that he turned down an offer to be in a group that Randy Meisner was forming, thereby possibly missing a chance to be in the Eagles. The Twin Engine album had reached the acetate stage, and a surviving copy was discovered in Naylor's possession much later, leading to its release in 2004 on Rev-Ola. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi

Like the flu, apathy takes many forms, has many causes, and can spread rapidly. What can you do about it?
-- Treat it like a disease.
-- Note the symptoms.
-- Diagnose the cause(s).
-- Take appropriate remedial action.
Some symptoms are present in almost all cases of apathy. The victims are listless, unresponsive, seemingly uninterested in doing anything. Their only interests seem to be in griping and going home.
To determine the causes of their apathy, you must look beyond these surface symptoms to the more specific ones.
Generally, patients' symptoms can best be observed when -- and if -- they speak. Listen carefully to a group of apathy victims, or talk with them after a meeting, and you'll soon discern a pattern which should help you identify the cause of the trouble.

Leaves Hair So Manageable! :)I have used this product for a while now. It leaves the hair soft and manageable. The product smells great. I have frizzy straight hair and it works well. My aunt has very curly, long hair and she loves it too. (Leaves her hair manageable) It seems to work for many hair types. For those who think its a bit pricey, trust me its worth it! You just need a little bit of product, leave it in your hair for 20 minutes and its makes a huge difference. :D Try it!

Certainly A Deep Conditioner, But Not For My Hair Type Unfortunatelyi bought this deep conditioner because CHI always has good reviews and people who have used it seemed to have liked it. Unfortunately it wasn't so great for my hair type. I am Chinese and have very very dark black hair (dyed to brown) and its naturally wave and soft (not the typical Asian hair). While having this one, my hair was actually quite dry and not oily, but once rinsed out dried... the oil never really all came out and was weighing down on my hair. I think it does the work of "conditioning" and I can see that my hair is not as brittle, but its not something one should use all the time.
I thought it was really useful though, when I used it before a piano concert performance I had to do. I used it the night before my performance. and the day of the performance, my hair was still pretty oily. It protected my hair from the hot curling irons and all the blow drying that the hair stylist was doing :)Jan 8, 2011Judy

I Think It Depends On Your Hair TypeI tried this product. My hair is fine and limp, and this product weighs it down too much. It is hard to completely rinse out the first day. After washing again and using a different conditioner, my hair was more normal. I do think it has improved the overall condition of my hair, but I only use it on days when I don't care what my hair looks like.Apr 11, 2010Danee / CanadaHAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

Fantastic Conditioner!I use this reconstruct conditioner as a daily conditioner and once a week for a deep conditioner for 20 minutes. I have fine hair and it does not weigh my hair down or make it gummy like other conditioners. It leaves your hair shiny and easy to comb through. It's the best I have used! I highly recommend this stuff.Mar 5, 2010Shelly

Comments: I do all of my road running in a pair of Vibram Bikila's. I have used the VFF's on the trail as well, but always end up with bruised feet and/or jammed toes. I was searching from a trail shoe with a similar feel to the VFF, but with more slightly more protection. The Trailroc 235's are perfect: light, grippy, zero drop, true to size, and they allow for a snug fit in the midfoot, even for my relatively lower volume foot. Some trail shoes feel really clunky on the road, but these are fine if your race involves a few road miles. Fantastic shoe!
From: Sam, KY, USA. 2/10/14
Comments: I have been running trails for the last 4 years in triathlon-specific running shoes, so I, obviously, don't require a whole lot of cushioning during my sessions. I run anywhere from my local trails here in Lakewood, CO (roughly 5,600 feet above sea level) to the mountainous, rugged trails in Fraser and Winter Park, CO (approximately 9,000-10,000 feet above sea level) while attempting to keep up with my dogs. The runs are filled with rocky, muddy terrain and can be quite challenging, especially with 2 80 lb. dogs on leash. The triathlon-specific running shoes seemed fine, but I always seemed to be having to buy a new pair, as these were constantly falling apart (I recently competed in a Spartan Beast race and ruined my relatively-new K-Swiss K-Ruuz 1.5 shoes after 6 hours on a muddy obstacle trail course). I read reviews about the Inov-8 Trailroc 235 and decided I needed to try a pair. What a blessing! I still run these same trails, but I have discovered what true trail shoes can do for your runs. I never realized how much I had been slipping and taking big hits with my old running shoes. Now, I am running much faster and confidently on these trails in my 235's. The 235's are still lightweight and flexible enough, but they also offer more protection and durability. I am now outrunning my dogs - I never thought a shoe shoe could make make one a faster runner until now (these are the new Zips, baby!). I bought these in the same size in which I buy most of my shoes; however, I had tried the Trailroc 255 (which were way too stiff and heavy for my liking) and needed to try a half-size up from my normal shoes - I'm guessing it's because the shoes were significantly built-up for more protection.
From: Brian, Lakewood (Denver), CO, USA
Comments: Love these shoes. Zero drop, minimal stack height, firm lower. I've done long (5hr) runs in them on rough trail, no problems. Feel very responsive on the trails. They are my new favorite ultra distance shoes. They are lighter and less bulky than the Altra Superiors, so not sure why they are not more popular. The tread is sufficiently deep, certainly better than a Trail Glove or VFF. But not too deep of a cleat that it catches or cakes with mud. Drain well in creak crossings. The only drawback is the laminated toe bumper peeled back after my first 20 mile run. Annoying but not a show-stopper. I wash my shoes after every run so i wish they were sock less with no footbed. Other than that, great shoes.
From: Nick, Franklin, TN, USA
Comments: I must open with the fact that I have run in nothing but five fingers for the last few years so I am used to neutral running form. I have been in the market for something with a larger toe box and some cushion to take the bite out of nasty trails from time to time. Overall I love this shoe. It has a wide toe box, has just the right amount of protection, great traction on the trails, and is lightweight (not as light as VFFs of course). They fit pretty close to size. They have performed well both on trail, pavement, and the treadmill. Some other trail shoes tend to be clunky off the trail. I do not experience that with these shoes. All around I believe I have found a viable alternate to VFFs with one glaring exception. The uppers have already begun to rip around mid foot vertically between the Inov-8 design. I can still run in them but I was very disappointed that they ripped after only a couple hundred miles (about 2 months). The soles show very little wear at all. I hope that Inova-8 addresses this issue as I love these shoes otherwise.
From: Jim, Harpers Ferry, WV, USA
Comments: First, I have not done more than walk around my apartment in them so this is a very limited review. Sizing, I wear 9.5D in the New Balance Minimus Roads so I bought both 9.0 and 9.5 in this shoe and the 9.5 fits better. Although some reviews of the TR 235 say the toebox is wider, I still think it could use a little more wiggle room and I tried them on with the thinnest socks I own. That said, they're not any more narrow than the NB Roads and those could be wider too, IMHO. If you have narrow feet I'm sure these will feel great. The upper has a healthy amount of padding to them which is good if you like that. The heel in particular has a lot of padding which may be good to keep your heel locked in but I'm worried all this material will absorb and keep in water/mud. Also, the upper itself is unlike anything else I've encountered in a shoe. It sorta reminds me of that material at the bottom of carpets but flexible. They could've saved a lot of weight in the shoe if they thinned out the upper. The outer must be as grippy as everyone says they are as they make a pleasant squeaking sound when I walk across my hardwood floors. I can't comment on whether the lack of a rockplate provides sufficient protection but my gut tells me it'll be enough. That said, some reviews said the shoe was flexible. For not having a rockplate, I thought it'd flex more.

After an extensive party streak during 'Halloweek' we swore we would never drink again until, well – the very next Friday. So we know you weekend warriors are about to get on a hot one, so start things up with arguably the next "Booty Clap". Miami duo GTA (JWLS + Van Toth) just released their newest single "Booty Bounce" on Mad Decent project label Jeffree's. *Read their funny blurb below, and grab the FREE EP!
"Miami Bass has been murdered by the douches of South Beach for a few years now but two young Miami natives, JWLZ and VanToth aka GTA are putting Booty back in the bass of Miami. "Booty Bounce Feat. DJ Funk" leaves you unconscious wish visions of a fat ass swirling around your head, it's been a wanted track for a while now since it's been featured in Diplo's sets all over the world.The B-side "Shake Dem" follows the same theme but this time adds tits to the equation, the rhythm of this tune is so catchy you'll find yourself dryhumping something by the first drop."

Summer in Israel
The YU Summer Israel Experience used the State of Israel as a laboratory and classroom. In its first year, 2007, more than 30 students studied the history and archaeology of the Land of Israel, excavated the biblical city of Gath and engaged in internships throughout the Jerusalem area—all for academic credit. This was coupled with intense Torah study, visits with prominent scholars and leaders and behind-the-scenes experiences.
Archaeological Dig at Gath
The YU Summer Israel Experience returned with a limited program in 2012. Our students, led by Jill Katz (Stern, Sociology, YC, Jewish History), will participate in the archaeological excavations at Gath, joining an international team organized by Bar-Ilan University. For more information, download the program flier, or email Professor Jill Katz.
Summer Archaeology Fellowship
A competitive fellowship to participate in archaeological excavations in Israel. In summer, 2011, Jill Joshowitz, a junior at Stern College, attended the archaeological field school at the Khirbet Hammam excavations directed by Uzi Liebner of the Hebrew University Institute of Archaeology. The fellowship was made possible in part by a generous donation by David and Clair Kahane.

Beautiful Shoes
"These are some beautiful elegant shoes. I first saw them in a pretty royal blue that I wanted to buy but the sold out of my size. So when I went into the store and saw the black ones marked down 70%. I couldn't resist. They are nice and comfortable I got them in a size smaller to make sure they wouldn't slide off. They are still comfortable. I will be wearing them to a wedding in June!"

However, they are beautiful and elegant! They are a little tall but I love them too much to return them!! They get a little tight around the toes but I figured after I break them in a little they'll be fine! I just need more excuses to wear them!"

- Brief Synopsis:
- Jack Grammar, average American senior, has no date for the prom until his so-called best friends post an ad in the school newspaper and assemble a list of eager girls, giving him just seven days to meet and date them all before asking one special girl to the prom.
- Long Synopsis:
- When Jack Grammar was little, his sisters used to dress up and pretend he was their prom date. Now it is two weeks until his senior prom, something he's looked forward to since those days of pretend, and he is dateless. But Natalie and Percy, his two best friends, have a solution. Unbeknownst to Jack, they post an ad in the school's online newspaper and the challenge is on. Who will be Jack Grammar's prom date? Amid much angst, hilarity, and plot twists, Jack dates and discards girl after girl until the fateful day when he must choose. Bradley captures the trials of many nice-guy teenage boys, who are insecure in today's high-school culture of dating and in need of an infusion of self-confidence. Jack and his friends are fully developed characters, full of promise and senioritis. Although the girls who court Jack border on stereotypes, the descriptive details are dead on. A satisfying dose of humor and reality in a "boy romance" that many readers may enjoy but are too embarrassed to request.
