Splits and swarms really knock the mites down.
.So far I planned on powdered sugar treatments, dedicated drone frames, going to small cell and doing some splits to break the brood cycle.Lots of people I talk to say it's impossible to go treatment free. What do the guys who are treatment free suggest?
Lots of people I talk to say it's impossible to go treatment free.
What do the guys who are treatment free suggest?
I will repeat here a reply I have given to Finski elsewhere:The results are not at all straightforward - there were 225 beekeepers, using 130 different methods of varroa control.
i wouldn't bother with small cell, but then i don't see the point in forcing the bees onto any pre-formed cell size. do it if you want, but remember that you still need to keep a close eye on them.your best bet is to try to find local survivor stock, and the best way to do that is to go after swarms and dig hives out of walls. not all those you find will be good stock, but the odds are better than in those you buy unless you can find a local source.whatever you do, not all hives survive. they don't survive in the wild, and they won't in your yard.

"This was my first time using tinyprints.com. I was very happy with the ease of personalization of the card, the quality of the card stock, the option to have a designer review the card, and the speed of delivery. The ability to have different shapes for the edge of the card is such a nice touch. My cards came out just as pictured on the screen. Very pleased and would order again in the future."
"I purchased these birth announcements on the arrival of my second daughter and my only disappointment is that I didn't use Tiny Prints for my first daughter! The quality was excellent, I wanted the pink background on the cards but asked if the white swirl could be added to the pink background and this was accommodated with no trouble. The photos look great, the layout was easy to personalize and the order arrived several days earlier than expected. Overall I could not be happier with the end product and can't wait to give them to our family and friends!"
"I have received lots of compliments for this pretty, feminine card. It is really beautiful and displays the photos perfectly. The paper quality was very high and the print quality also."
"My announcement turned out absolutely beautiful! I've ordered from Tiny Prints before and have never been disappointed. This is no exception. I'm always pleased with he quality of their products."
"Our family and friends absolutely loved this announcement. We got calls and texts as soon as they arrived in their mailboxes. Would definitely recommend tiny prints to anyone!"

text: The Nyssa Raatko wiki last edited by Dreadpool10 on 03/05/15 04:34PM View full history Origin - Early LifeNyssa was the love child of Ra's al Ghul and a Russian woman. It revealed that Nyssa was born when Ra's al Ghul was traveling in Russia. There, Ra's met Nyssa's mother and shortly after, Nyssa was born. Her mother would regale her with romantic tales about her father. Nyssa grew interested in her father and became determined to find him. Nyssa was able to track her father at his headquarters in North Africa. When she showed up, Ra's instantly became impressed with her beauty, intelligence, and how she was able to find him. He offered Nyssa a high rank position in his organization to which she accepted. Ra's would trust her enough to allow her to use the Lazarus Pits.Nyssa was also the one who discovered a way to reuse the Lazarus Pits over and over. Eventually Nyssa did not like her father's ideal and method, she decided to leave his organization sometime in the 19th century. Ra's thought that she would someday return with children and take his place, but Nyssa had other plans. Nyssa refused to give Ra's a family for possible heirs to his organization, which resulted in Ra's disowning her.CreationNyssa was created by Greg Rucka and Klaus Janson.Story ArcsWorld War II During World War II, Ra's had allied himself with the Nazis, and Nyssa and her family were imprisoned in a concentration camp. Ra's abandons Nyssa in the camp, and for that Nyssa resented him and began to plot against him. Nyssa's entire family died and only Nyssa was able to survive after she was let go from the concentration camp due to the Lazarus Pits.Return for Revenge Saddened by her gruesome experiences during this time, and furious that Ra's had abandoned her and her family to die at the hands of the Nazis, Nyssa started a plot to kill Ra. She re-entered Ra's life when she befriends her half-sister Talia. However, Nyssa planned to kidnap Talia and brainwashed her into killing Ra's. Nyssa also had plotted a plan to assassinate Superman with a Kryptonite bullet she stole at the Batcave. Her motive was to destroy all hope in the world by assassinating the man of steel. Batman was able to stop Nyssa, however she was able to mortally wound her father. As Ra's laid there dying, he reveals that all this was a part of his plan to make his daughters come to realize that Ra's was correct all along. His plan works and both Nyssa and Talia realize their destinies as their father's heir. The two sisters then proceed to declare Batman as their enemy. Nyssa is the only one who knows where the last Lazarus Pits are and has used it to continue living.Infinite CrisisDuring Infinite Crisis, Nyssa used Talia's membership to the Secret Society of Super Villains to enact her plan. She had intended to use the Society to take over the world and bring it peace and equality. Nyssa tried to recruit Cassandra Cain to join her League of Assassins, but Cassandra declines and along with Mr. Freeze, escaped from Nyssa's grasp. One Year Later, Nyssa is seen in Northern Africa, planning an unknown plot with two terrorists. As she gets into her car to leave, it explodes. Shiva reports that Nyssa is dead, killed by the League of Assassins, and Cassandra Cain had taken over the League.Other MediaTelevisionArrowThe episode is "Heir to the Demon" The actress who plays her is Katrina Law.Her father sends her to retrieve Sara Lance to bring her back into the League of Assassin's. Which Oliver says that will not happen and conflict ensues between him and Nyssa over Sara.

More than 1,000 officers gather to salute fallen Brentwood Officer Arkell
By MIKE LAWRENCE
Union Leader correspondent | May 20. 2014 10:22PM
Maj. Christopher Aucoin of New Hampshire State Police, one of several officers who led the organization of the walk-through, said police and firefighters would silently walk in single file past the casket, each one giving a salute to Arkell, who was shot and killed May 12 when he responded to a domestic disturbance call at a Brentwood home.
"Pretty much our entire department will be represented today or tomorrow," Osgood said. "They come because it's part of what we do."
Law enforcement of all stripes will begin lining up at New England Dragway on Route 27 at 7 a.m. The 1.9-mile march to Exeter High School will begin at 9:30 a.m. sharp, with scores of officers on foot accompanied by motorcycles and police vehicles.
Aucoin said Hassan had confirmed her attendance at today's memorial, as had U.S. Sens. Kelly Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen. Aucoin said Hassan will speak at the service, as will Col. Robert Quinn of New Hampshire State Police, Brentwood Police Chief Wayne Robinson, Exeter High School Athletic Director Bill Ball and others.
State Police Lt. Chris Vetter, who also has helped organize events, said the response has been hard to put into words.
Public calling hours will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday at Stockbridge Funeral Home in Exeter.

Hello there,
I'm very keen to get a teaching qualification. I've done a little reading and it would seem that the Celta is the best place to start. The eventual aim is to teach in Europe or Asia-Minor. I understand that beyond that I'll need a bachelor degree.
I've come here because I'd like some advice please. I'm looking for a book with will get me started. I'm hoping it will give me a good foundation from which I can advance.

THis gun is pretty beat, am thinking of getting it reblued. Any thoughts on this?
the re-blueing is mostly an aesthetic issue with modern steels, at one time blueing (black oxide) and browning (red oxide, controlled) created a hard rust coating over hi carbon steels, slowing down the surface rust (red oxide) and pitting that would eventually eat steel in the white.
with proper maintenance and periodic wipe downs when stored, your pistol will last much longer than you do, re-blued or not. so it boils down to you, do you mind your gun showing the wear of the life it has lived?
i personally never refinish my guns, they arent collectors, they are shooters and have lived and been hiking and camping and hunting and working.... they have been police sidearms, armored car duty sidearms, infantry weapons, fish and game boat guns.... and all show marks from their past lives.
nothing wrong with it, just personally never met the used gun that i thought needed to LOOK new.... that said i would also spend a 100 hours on a used gun to make WORK like new!
A word of caution, my interpretation of "pretty beat up" and yours may differ greatly,take it to someone who knows gun values and get their opinion before you possibly ruin the value of a collectible.
Again better safe than sorry.
You can always blue it but once you do you can't un-blue.

7:30 PM EST TV: FS Detroit PLUS / NBA league Pass Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
Atlanta has Stackhouse and McGrady.........and Teague is averaging more than 4 assists per game. I think we're outmatched............Atlanta be 17
"I haven't really sat down and talked to Coach, but my intention is to go tomorrow," Villanueva said this afternoon at the Pistons' practice facility. I need to change my vote....
I haven't really sat down and talked to my boss, but my intention is to get a nice little raise tacked on to my paycheck tomorrow.
The fact that Charlie Villenueva might possibly return to maybe play basketball with the Pistons makes this game a Must Watch Game, maybe.
Who is this Charlie Villanueva guy everybody's been talking about lately?
To paraphrase Bill Simmons paraphrasing Jim Ross, What's that, good God that's Charle Villanueva's music playing!
Not seeing a lot of energy out there atm, at either end. Sloppy basketball. Brandon's shot is totally off and he looks like he has zero confidence. The Hawks are keeping Rodney out of the paint for the most part so he's been held in check; Moose has been sloppy and got his dunk blocked by a guard. BG is dribbling like there's no tomorrow and bricking jumpers/committing TOs, Tay's just plain bricking, and Max was hot but is in foul trouble. Boring basketball tbh. The Hawks' brand of basketball is utterly boring, even with Josh Smith dunking.
Ben Gordon sux....just sayin.. he comes in and sloppy passes, turnovers bad shot selection and piss poor defense. You can set your watch to it. God I pray for a trade involving him in the worst way
A game that went down to the wire with a one-point margin of victory that probably wasn't as thrilling as you'd think it was going by the box score. Fitting that the final hoop would come from Tayshaun, as this was a game that was won off the backs of the Pistons' much-maligned front court. George Blaha really surprised me by how surly he sounded when he talked about the refs in this game; he used the same tone as when he talked about Artest in the Lakers game. Despite Tayshaun being the one to hit the game winner, Max was player of the game imo. He was hitting jumpers, and had a huge putback dunk late. He was hot from the start and didn't miss a FG until sometime in the third quarter. He was hitting shots when no one else was and kept his team in it. Jason also already had a double double at the half, finishing with 19 and 12 boards. Greg started off slow, capped off by getting his dunk blocked by Teague going into the half. He came back in the third quarter and returned the favor, blocking Teague's shot Ben Wallace style. He also recovered from his early offensive struggles, scoring a quiet 20 with 7 rebounds. He had trouble hanging on to the ball all night, however, coughing it up 6 times. Tayshaun played well overall, though he still occasionally forced shots and left his man open (that would be Marvin Williams). He did hit the game winner off a patiently executed isotayshaun though, and scored with efficiency, hitting 7 of 14. Brandon looked tentative and turned the ball over 3 times in the first half, once for apparently setting an illegal screen. His long range shot was still off, but he finally was able to hit 2 floaters in the lane, described as shots so difficult they belonged in a HORSE game. He did much better in the second half, part of the team on the floor when they had that big run and made ATL miss 11 straight times (streak was broken when BG dribbled off his foot and turned it over, fast break ATL). Highlight was a nice alley oop pass to Greg for a dunk in transition. Rodney had a much more quiet game after starting off aggressively, finishing with 11 points and 7 assists. He was getting wherever he wanted during the first quarter, then Atlanta shut down the driving lanes and kept him in check the rest of the way. He did a nice job of not forcing the issue as well, only driving in when there were openings in the lane. His foul trouble didn't help though, as he had a bit of trouble guarding Joe Johnson. BG had a terrible game, frankly, and why he was even on the floor with 30 seconds left while being his usual careless, overdribbling self throughout the game (not to mention shooting a dismal 1 for 7) is beyond me. His jumper was way off, and his turnovers were a big reason why the Hawks were able to get out on the break for easy scores and cut the lead to an uncomfortable 4. I could understand him playing if he were shooting well (like he was against LA), but he wasn't (only scored 3). Meh. JJ played pretty well, hitting some nice jumpers and not turning the ball over. He got called for some hugely bogus fouls in the game (and Josh Smith should've had 6 fouls off a hook on JJ). Big Ben was solid, getting two nice blocks (one called a foul sending Josh to the FT line; all ball ref!) and playing good defense. Also made a very nice bounce pass to JJ for a layup. Wilkins had another solid game, playing good defense and doing a good job of not doing his best chicken imitation. That air ball layup in transition was ugly though. Solid win in a sloppy game (20 turnovers to Atlanta's 8; how'd we win this?). This was also the first game where the front court really outscored the backcourt by a significant margin, though I was happy to see them defer to the bigs who were shooting better (except for a certain over dribbler). The offense was woeful at times, but the defense was thankfully constant in that second half, much more like what we're used to.
I only watched the first half. But going into the half time break, I totally did not expect this outcome. Either the Hawks collapsed entirely, or the Pistons came out reinvigorated (relatively, of course). I truly believe that this team is starting to get a feel for each other. I even saw Prince passing the ball!!!! Good recap alexa
The team is certainly geling. Guys are beginning to figure roles and it seems they understand and like the Lawrence Frank motto " if you play hard tough defense you can adlib on the offensive end" They can get lulled into settling for jump shots and often need a big play to bring them to life. Signs of some immaturity, but I defenitely see the intensity in Moose when he begins to get frustrated and then finally figures out that he is better off attacking rather than waiting for the whistle. Moose is o much better when he makes up his mind quick and goes for it. When he tries to overthink it he ends up lookin like Isotay 2.0. We are seeing a rotation settling in and the players seem to have adjusted. especially Max. He knows his minutes will be there so he has relaxed and is playing with alot of confidence. GM appears to have hit a soph wall to match BKs rook wall but he appeared to come out of it blazing. Now we just need BK to assert himself next game.
Thanks for your recaps copper and Alexa, I enjoyed reading them. I will add a few things. One, our rotation did get a tweak tonight, as Wallace came in for Monroe, instead of the usual JJ for JMAX late in the first quarter. It should be Ben Wallace for JMAX, but hey, it is still an improvement over pairing up JJ and Monroe much. Wilkins and Gordon, against a better defense, were worthless on offense. And Gordon showed just why I don't want him playing for us, passing the ball to the other team. When JMAX finally missed a shot, it was a short, kind of a hook, shot from in front of the basket. He is hitting his jumpers with confidence and he even nailed that free throw. Monroe has a ton of capability on offense, good to see him adjust in this game to what works - moving. That was some defensive run in the 3rd, where we got back into the game. An amazing contrast to letting Atlanta open with a ton of shots made before they missed one. We were challenging everything in the 3rd and rotating sharply. The bench came on and kept up the effort. And a good gut check by the Pistons late as Atlanta started getting their offense back together but could not hit that last shot (in time) to win it. Great to see JMAX, one of my favorite players for so long, doing so well these days. And fantastic to see 2 starting bigs flirt with double doubles - hopefully on a regular basis going forward. Probably wishful thinking but I can dream. You look at the minutes distribution, and hey, nobody is getting overplayed. And this was a tight game. I still would rather see the following: Gordon and Wilkins out of the rotation, Macklin and Daye in. Macklin would not have to play much. JJ would become the backup small forward. Our guard rotation would be just Daye, Knight, Stuckey. Consider this, JJ did a lot of nice stuff tonight. But we were not positive with him in. This is typical. You might see some good stuff like some shots made - but since he is not a power forward - you will never see anything from him you expect a power forward to do.
Thanks Panda. The last play was apparently designed for Moose #1, Stuckey #2, Tay #3, BG #4. So glad that ball didn't get anywhere near BG. He was probably just a decoy though.
Lee, I agree that getting rid of BG is paramount and Im sure anyone on the board that has read my posts will attest to that. I dont however like the idea of using bk stuck and daye as our guard rotation., with foul trouble and some of the quicker smaller guards Daye would be absolutely useless on occasion and be even more of a defensive liability than BG is now. Daye is a shooting guard stuck in an ethiopian small forwards body. As much as I would love to see him replace BG in the rotation...I think the only way this works is if we can slide tay to one of the guard positions when Daye slides into the 3
I have seen Daye used in a partial zone setup, where he mainly stays on the perimeter, rotating to whoever the other team wants to shoot the ball. Daye has the height to seriously alter someones shot, and the quickness to do this rotating. (Since its been done, its not just a theory.) Foul trouble? Use a fourth guard as a backup, like Bynum or Walker, for that. Daye does not have to fit all situations. Neither does JJ. Sometimes it would make more sense to have JJ sit, move Daye to small forward, and play Bynum some. I just want to for sure get Gordon out of the rotation. (and play JJ at small forward where he can both score more readily, and be an asset on rebounding there.)
then we are in total agreement with the BG needs to not play for our team anymore.

In the 1990s, attention was given to the digital divide: the hardware and networking that separated the haves from the have-nots. It is increasingly apparent that there is not only a digital divide, but a knowledge divide between those who can access the best, most recent information and those who confront constant barriers to access. This inequity plays out even with information to which many people have equal claim, such as taxpayer-funded research.
It plays out when a state-supported Historically Black College or University cannot afford the journals that another state-supported college down the road can afford, when community college faculty members are contributing to journals to which their school cannot subscribe, and when a faculty member cannot reprint her own writing for her students.
Market Issues at a Glance
Between 1986 and 2004, journal expenditures of North American research libraries increased by a staggering 273%, with the average journal unit cost increasing by 188%. During this same period, the U.S. Consumer Price Index rose by 73%, meaning that journal costs have outstripped inflation by a factor of almost 4. Here is a graph of this inflation rate:
Between 1975 and 2005, the average cost of journals in chemistry rose from $76.84 to $1,879.56. In the same period, if a gallon of gas had increased in price at the same rate, it would be $14.50/gallon today.
On average, libraries pay 4 to 6 times as much per page for journals owned by commercial publishers as they do for journals owned by non-profit societies.
Higher prices mean that libraries cannot afford as wide and diverse a collection of journals as they have previously provided. The Appalachian State Library experiences an 8 to 10 percent annual inflation rate on journals and databases, meaning that even when we experience a flat budget, we have to cut 8 to 10 percent of our resources.

A few people have expressed to me their frustrations over their difficulty in making biscuits. Being a fan of the biscuit, I've tried to make several recipes and a few haven't been too complicated.
In fact, biscuits are so amazing you probably should have a purpose for them before making them or you'll be tempted to eat the entire pan. I hope that's not just me.
A favorite comes courtesy of a Food Network cookbook — Parmesan, Pepper and Lemon Biscuits. In fact, I realized I like this recipe so much that it's bookmarked in the cookbook, it automatically opens to that page and I've rarely glanced through the rest of the book to try other recipes.
Usually I don't have a lemon on hand, so mine are more parmesan pepper biscuits.
You also can use this biscuit for a sandwich. Basil, tomato and ham blend well with the parmesan taste. Prosciutto or country ham works best.
The cookbook describes this recipe as a twist on the traditional southern biscuit. Leave out the lemon, pepper and parmesan to make regular old biscuits.
Using biscuit cutters is ideal but if you don't have any around the house, use a drinking glass to cut out the biscuits. If you want mini biscuits, use the lids of spice containers or other smaller circles.
Don't let the lack of tools keep you from making fresh homemade biscuits. This recipe doesn't even require a rolling pin. You can simply press the dough out.
While the easiest way to make biscuits is from a can, there is one version that's a step up from the can. Bisquick, or the various off brands, has an easy way to make Drop Biscuits.
They are as simple as it sounds. Follow the instructions for the Drop Biscuit on the box and simply drop the spoonfuls of batter on a baking sheet and bake.
Add biscuits to a meal or save them for a yummy dessert by pilling on strawberries and whip cream. Don't stop at strawberries, top with peaches or any other fruit. Drop Biscuits probably would be good with some baked apples on top, too.
Also, mixing other ingredients in the dough can dress it up a bit. Add cheese and garlic powder and the drop biscuit becomes a garlic cheese biscuit.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
½ teaspoon fine salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
½ diced plus ¼ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
¾ cup milk
Makes 8 biscuits
Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk the flour with the sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, black pepper and salt in a large bowl. Cut butter into tablespoon-size pieces. Rub in two tablespoons of the butter with your fingertips until no visible pieces remain. Rub in the remaining four tablespoons butter just until it is in even, pea-size pieces. Scatter grated and diced cheese over the top and toss with a rubber spatula. Using a wooden spoon, stir the milk in to make a loose dough.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface and pat into a rectangle about a half inch thick; don't worry if dough doesn't all come together. Fold dough in thirds, like a business letter, and pat lightly into an 8-by-5-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Using a 2- to 3-inch round biscuit cutter, cut six biscuits and place on baking sheet. Press dough scraps together and cut two more biscuits.
Bake until tops are lightly brown, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack and serve warm.

How much do you know about PPC advertising? Do you know what PPC stands for? I started out in pay-per-click marketing over 3 years ago and still struggle explaining the value of this complex and effective marketing practice to others outside of the industry. As an outsider, certain terminology and concepts are difficult to wrap your head around – there is much more to it than most people think.
In high school, I loved calculus and chemistry because I loved working with numbers. When I started college, I fell in love with marketing. PPC is the perfect marriage of the two – it involves critical thinking, strategy, and data analyzation. This medium is extremely measurable, which is rare in marketing. It also allows smaller businesses to rank right up there with the big guys, which is another aspect I love.
8 Google AdWords Ad Copy Tips
Before setting up campaigns and delving in, there are several basics that need to be understood to build a strong foundation. My colleague, Ryan Campbell, did a presentation on PPC Basics in January.

I received a tablet as a Christmas gift. I can access the Internet at the library and at the coffee shot with not problem. At home I get nothing. Do I live too far from town? Do I need cell phone service? I have a dial-up connection for my computer and it's slow. I much prefer the tablet.
You have Internet access at the library and coffee shop because they have a WiFi signal. Sounds like you're missing a crucial component for using a tablet at home: a router. A router is a fairly inexpensive device that plugs into your modem and generates a wireless Internet signal in your home.
Though since you have dial-up that might not be possible or practical. If it's possible you should consider getting a high-speed connection and a router. Check availability and pricing with companies that serve your area. A mobile hot spot ( a small device that generate WiFi) is also a possibility. Again, you would have to check availability and pricing with cell service providers that serve your area.
Otherwise, you'll have to settle for using your tablet at locations that offer free WiFi. Fortunately there are a lot of them.

Owner of one of the finest private wine collections in Israel, L. Recanati is a successful international banker and a member of one of Israel's most prominent families. Prior to making their home in Israel in the early 1900s, Recanati's ancestors had lived for centuries in Italy, one of the world's premier sources of fine wines. Consequently, Italy and the U.S. (where Recanati spent a portion of his student years and met his American-born wife) represent the winery's first two export markets.
Chief winemaker at Recanati is Lewis Pasco, an American-born graduate of the U.C. Davis wine program and an accomplished chef. Formerly a winemaker at Napa Valley's Chimney Rock and for Sonoma's Marimar Torres, Lewis brings to Recanati a devotion to artistry and craftsmanship in winemaking. This dedication, combined with Recanati's state-of-the-art winemaking facility, has led to an impressive line of wines. View all Recanati Wines
About IsraelView a map of Israel wineries Israel
Quite possibly the region where wine was first drunk (or close to the region), Israel is not on the top of most lists for best wine regions. In fact, the conditions in the country are perfect for growing grapes, but reasons such as money, inexperience and apathy have kept the area from becoming a world-wide wine region. That said, Israel makes some top-notch wines and the amount of vine area continues to increase.
Notable Facts
In the late 1800's, Baron Edmond de Rothschild gave a generous donation to wine making in Israel. He also sent over some French grapes, including Carignan, Chenin Blanc and Muscat. These grapes are found growing throughout the country. There are five main regions in Israel, the two best known being Galilee and Samaria. The region with the most wineries and wine potential is Galilee. Within Galilee lies Golan Heights, both a sub-region and a company. As a sub-region, Golan Heights has perfect altitude and soils to grow international varieties and the wines coming out of the region are excellent. As a company, Golan Heights exports the most wine out of Israel including Yarden, Gamla and Golan. Other notable producers include Recanati,Tishbi and Barkan. These producers are making wines that are dry, complex and high-quality.

Beyond the Box Score: Freshman Buck Delivers on Big Stage
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – With 1:30 remaining in Friday's semifinal against UIC, freshman Tesha Buck caught the ball on the left wing. It was early in the shot clock and the Phoenix was leading by eight and looking to run clock. But after a brief pause Buck shot it anyway. She was too open. Too confident. Swish. Game Over.
It was the perfect exclamation point for the biggest game of the true freshman's young career. For 33 minutes of action, Buck did what she has done throughout her rookie campaign – she delivered.
The Horizon League Freshman of the Year sparked the Phoenix to a 68-59 win and vaulted her team into Sunday's title game of the Horizon League Championship. The effort was not just impressive because of her career-high 24 points. Rather, it was how she stepped up and delivered with the confidence of a seasoned vet.
After the teams looked tight in trading three-straight turnovers to start the game, Buck drained a three from the right wing. UIC responded to take control of the scoreboard and lead 17-11 midway through the opening half, and Buck knocked down a triple.
The Flames were back up 24-17 with 4:53 to play before halftime, and Buck knocked down her third triple to start an 11-0 spurt which also included her fourth three-pointer.
UIC closed to 31-30 right before the half, and Buck drove to the rim and completed a three-point play which sent the top-seeded Phoenix into the locker room in front 34-30. Buck had half of her team's points at intermission.
Buck finished the game 8-of-11 from the field and 5-of-6 from long range en route to her career-high point total. But for Buck, it has never been just about scoring, and rebounding was another area she delivered on Friday night.
The Flames, the Horizon League's top rebounding team, got the first nine rebounds of Friday's game while building their lead. Led by Buck's eight defensive rebounds, Green Bay held a 31-28 edge on the glass the rest of the way.
On Sunday, Green Bay will play Wright State on national television with a trip to the NCAA Tournament on the line. Don't expect the stage to be too big for Tesha Buck.

Ben Carson Back To Apologizing For "Offensive" Anti-Gay Remarks
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Dr. Ben Carson, after comparing marriage equality advocates to supporters of pedophilia and bestiality, and then apologizing "if anybody was offended" by those remarks, and then attacking his critics as "racist[s]" who were trying to portray him as a bigot, is back to apologizing for his "offensive" comments.
According to New York magazine, Carson, a professor of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Medical School and nascent right-wing media star, sent an email to "the Hopkins Community" saying that he is "sorry for any embarrassment" his anti-gay comments may have caused them.
But what really saddens me is that my poorly chosen words caused pain for some members of our community and for that I offer a most sincere and heartfelt apology. Hurting others is diametrically opposed to who I am and what I believe. There are many lessons to be learned when venturing into the political world and this is one I will not forget. Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.
Carson's apologetic email was sent just "a few minutes" after Paul Rothman, Johns Hopkins' dean of medical faculty, sent his own email calling Carson's remarks "hurtful, offensive," and "inconsistent with the culture of our institution."
Carson has been taking heat from almost all directions since making those remarks. The co-director of Johns Hopkins' sexuality studies program denounced his attacks on gays as "nasty, petty, and ill-informed," and apparently more than half of the Johns Hopkins Medical School graduating class signed a petition objecting to Carson's selection as commencement speaker.

Fund distorted the facts to defend his, Hume's distortions of FDR
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
Declaring that his "overheated liberal critics" should "calm down, as we look at the facts," Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund distorted the facts to defend his allegation -- first made by Fox News Washington managing editor Brit Hume -- that former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt supported "supplant[ing]" government funding of Social Security with private accounts. In his March 14 "On the Trail" column on The Wall Street Journal's OpinionJournal.com, Fund (1) erroneously asserted that "at no point did Mr. Hume or I claim that FDR would have endorsed Mr. Bush's private accounts," and (2) falsely maintained that Roosevelt supported some form of "private plans," even though he belatedly conceded that Roosevelt did not envision that they would supplant the basic Social Security system. In fact, both Fund and Hume explicitly tied their distortions of Roosevelt to Bush's plan for private accounts, and Roosevelt's plan for voluntary contributory annuities was fundamentally different from any form of private investment plan in that Roosevelt's annuities would have gone through the Social Security trust fund and provided guaranteed benefits.
Although he conceded that he had "confuse[d] the terminology of the day by thinking Roosevelt's call for supplanting old-age pensions referred to Social Security," Fund downplayed his distortion of Roosevelt while simultaneously providing false cover for himself and Hume:
Former Social Security commissioner Robert Ball properly notes that I did confuse the terminology of the day by thinking Roosevelt's call for supplanting old-age pensions referred to Social Security. Instead, he was referring to the need to replace an early welfare program for the elderly with Social Security.
But at no point did Mr. Hume or I claim that FDR would have endorsed Mr. Bush's private accounts. We were correct in noting that FDR had proposed a voluntary program to allow people to buy annuities.
But both Hume and Fund strongly suggested that Roosevelt would support Bush's plan to partially privatize Social Security. As Media Matters for America has previously documented when Fund distorted Roosevelt's words in the February 4 edition of the OpinionJournal.com's "Political Diary," he asserted that Roosevelt's "call for the establishment of Social Security directly anticipated today's reform agenda." Similarly, on the February 3 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, Hume suggested that Senate Democrats were being hypocritical by invoking Roosevelt to oppose Bush's plan for private accounts:
HUME: Senate Democrats gathered at the Franklin Roosevelt Memorial today to invoke the image of FDR in calling on President Bush to remove private accounts from his Social Security proposal. But it turns out that FDR himself planned to include private investment accounts in the Social Security program when he proposed it.
Even after recognizing that Roosevelt's plan for voluntary contributory annuities would not divert money from Social Security payroll taxes, Fund's March 14 column continued to mislead readers about Roosevelt's attitude toward private accounts by asserting that Roosevelt recognized the importance of some form of "private plans" supplementing the basic Social Security system. As Media Matters has noted, Roosevelt's concept of "voluntary contributory annuities" did not resemble "private plans." Although that component of Roosevelt's plan did not pass through Congress, the plan would have placed income generated from the government's sale of voluntary "annuity certificates" to workers "into the trust fund along with the payroll taxes collected under the mandatory [Social Security] program," and "would guarantee the purchasers a definite amount of income" or guaranteed benefit level, as Edwin Witte, executive director of the Committee on Economic Security, noted during 1935 congressional hearings on Roosevelt's Social Security bill.
As Media Matters documented, Hume's original distortion of Roosevelt prompted Air America radio host Al Franken and Roosevelt's grandson and former Social Security associate commissioner James Roosevelt Jr. to call on Hume to resign. In an article in the March 2005 edition of The American Prospect, former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich -- who witnessed the Roosevelt distortion firsthand on the February 4 edition of Fox News' The Big Story with John Gibson -- described it as illustrative of the difficulties in trying to get the "Republican propaganda machine" to be held accountable:
This is just one example of how the Republican propaganda machine is lying to the American people about Bush's plan for Social Security, just as it has lied about so much else. FOX News' many distortions are mirrored on other yell-television cable networks, on right-wing radio, and on the editorial pages of The Wall Street Journal. It's a formidable machine.

Alexander Kramarenko, writing in the Moscow Times, offers a vigorous defense of President Putin's foreign polic initiatives. He believes Putin's foreign policy is centered in pragmatism, multi-vctor diplomacy, and the nonconfrontational pursuit of national intrests. Russia seeks security for itself and nations on its borders. He notes, "we regret that the experience of the past 15 years have not helped some of our partners understand that a new new world is not a mere extension of the Western world minus the former Soviet Union and the Eastern bloc." He cites the case of Kosovo independence which is being pushed by Western nations. "Why then do the Palestinians, for example, have to wait for a state of their own?" Kramarenko believes the West has double standards and this is what Putin is attempting to confront.
On the one hand, points out Kramarenko, the European Union asserts its control of nations within its own organization, but, on the other hand, it is the Bush policy to establish missile bases in Poland and the Czech Republic. Which is it–EU or US? He argues that many problems being attributed to Russia are te fault of others and Putin is mainly focusing on what benefits his nation interests.
Kramarenko raises several key issues which offer a valid Russian explanation for their foreign policy behavior. They probably are right to oppose missile bases in Eastern Europe since the presence of such weapons is obviously a threat to the national interests of Russia.

Tony Adams is the first of Arsène Wenger's Arsenal protégées to take charge of a Premier League club. As far as the Frenchman is concerned, he probably won't be the last.
Plenty of Wenger's former players are pursuing coaching careers. Dennis Bergkamp and Oleg Luzhny have taken up posts on the continent, Nigel Winterburn is the new defensive coach at Blackburn, Martin Keown has managed Oxford's university team while Steve Bould is in charge of Arsenal's Under-18s.
Earlier this month Wenger insisted that "all my ex-players have the qualities to become managers". Ahead of tonight's North London derby, the Frenchman argued that the sooner his former Gunners take the plunge, the better.
"I always encourage my former players to become coaches," said Wenger.
"I know in this job one of the difficult things to deal with is the pressure and the earlier you get used to that the better it is. If you wait until you are 45, 46 before you take a job where you have the whole club on your shoulders, it weighs very heavy. The earlier you get into that the better it is."
Wenger is still in contact with many of his ex-players and the new Portsmouth manager has been one of the beneficiaries of his wisdom. The Frenchman will continue to offer advice to the likes of Adams - provided it is not to Arsenal's detriment.
"We have been in regular contact when it was needed," said Wenger. "When he [Adams] was at Wycombe, when he was in Holland and even now he is at Portsmouth. I have had him on the phone recently.
"I will still be happy to give advice as long as it is not in a situation in which he is competitive with Arsenal – such as we are interested in the same player. A specific problem I will be happy to help with. You are always happy to give advice. I used to call people for advice when I was a young coach."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Re: First boat, no experiance, what to get?
And if we are talking sunfish and lasers I would laugh at you for taking classes on such a boat. Unless your a child or feeble. Seriously, those boats are just about idiot proof and sink proof. Just hoist the sail and go (specially on a SunFish) and they are GREAT for learning because you really get a feel for sail points and trim. Plus you can heel those babies damn near vertical before you take a drink and its nothing to re-right them and keep plowing ahead.
You need nothing but a VHF, life vest, and laser or sunfish to become a sailor.
If you are talking larger boats with systems then books/forums/experience comes in. Do not get me wrong I am not against advocating safety and preparedness I just dont think you have to take sailing classes to learn to sail. Thats all. Dont be stupid tho... Some old millionaire lady recently bought a moody with no experience and tried sailing it off in the sunset... Last I checked still no word? Yea, thats stupidity.
Re: First boat, no experiance, what to get?
I say forget the class. Unless you have that kind of income to dispose of it is a luxury not required. Or unless you are an offshore sailor. Then you should atleast make friends with a competant skipper and go out with him 4-5 times to get the hang of things. I never took any classes and ive single handed the past three days up to 30 knot gusts with no centerboard and a faulty engine . Of course, I understand sail trim and points of sail. Docking tends to be the trickiest part of the entire day.
You can easily learn points of sail from a 2 min you tube video. The rest you need a few hours on the water in 10-15. Just get out on someones boat rented or otherwise and play around. Hike in the jib let out the main, set the travler in different places, turn in and out of the wind.. FEEL the tiller/wheel response.. Its quite easy.
Unless you plan on doing a solo or offshore trip in the net six months save your money (unless your well-ff) and go buy a Chapman and find a boat.
It is great to be safe and have every piece of equipment and an experienced skipper on hand but for most of us, or for me anyway, I never had that option.
It was either teach myself or don't go. I had a great day yesterday, maybe i'll see you out there soon.
Re: First boat, no experiance, what to get?
The sunfish is an excellent starting platform. Also you should be able to find some for fun only races with them (if you look probably some serious ones as well)...
The Laser is the logical incremental upgrade to the sunfish (as is a force 5), but the laser is an active racing sailing class (one of the biggest), and it has some more grown up controls. You can usually find them all day long with boat/trailer in the $1000-$2000 range, and be competitive in racing with decent work on it, and a new sail/rig plan. Oh and anyone who says you can just slip a sunfish or a laser into a pickup truck, hasn't tried (lately). They are 14 feet long, and only a 8 foot bed pickup can hold them (8 foot beds are relegated to regular cabs or older pickups, I special ordered mine as a crew cab, but I'm weird). Cartopable - sure... but get a trailer if you can. It makes things easier.
Now if you want to get something that'll keep your interest longer, you can move up to the lido (also actively raced), or a capri 14.2 (personal favorite). If you can find one, a keel Capri 14.2 (trainer), or lido 14 keel, or Capri 16.5 keel (as opposed to centerboards).. are super stable, and self-righting. These are inexpensive upgrade boats that might teach you well for the next several years, and also keep your interest. In fact if you add a trolling motor, or small 2hp these boats are great family day sailors (but not great racers).
Alright, last recommendation is a larger move-up boat which is something that'll suit you for years, but might be a steeper learning curve, would be a Precision 165, Capri 18, or Compac 16. These are all small trailerable keelboats, with most of the big-boat feel in an easily handled/trailered package. These are not racers, or even fast, but are very fun/stable trailerable boats that a family would enjoy. They all hold their value nicely, because they are at a sweet spot for trailerables.
If you find something, and the owner is available (especially in these bigger boats), have them take you out on it, and show you how to rig/sail it.
Lessons? Absolutely! Books? Absolutely! ASA courses, SURE! But sailing blind works too... just use a PFD, and don't wait until it's blowing 20knots... 3-5knots is your friend for now.

Re: First boat, no experiance, what to get?
Ron - pay heed to the advice above about getting a sloop-rigged boat. I started with a Snark and then a Sunfish, and it wasn't long at all before I wanted more. Moved up to a C-Lark and am quite happy with it, at least until I retire in a few years and have a lot more time to sail. Could have skipped the other two with lessons or reading. Sailing with the main only wasn't any more difficult than sailing the Sunfish - and it's roomier and drier. In my limited experience, the C-Lark does better in light winds than the Sunfish. I would expect the same from a Lido 14 or the like.
OTOH - The Snark is still with us because it's easy to car-top, and I was able to recover all my investment in the used Sunfish.

Andronikos III Palaiologos (1328-41)
- Accession Number:
- BZS.19126.96.36.1992 (formerly Fogg 1702)
Previous Editions
DO Seals 6, no. 108.1; Zacos-Veglery, no. 126 bis.
- Diameter:
- 43 mm
- Field:
- 39 mm
Christ standing on a suppedion before a low thokos, wearing a tunic and himation and holding the right hand in blessing and a book in the left. He has a nimbus cruciger. Sigla at left and right: Ἰ(ησοῦ)ς Χ(ριστό)ς. Border of dots.
The emperor Andronikos standing on a suppedion, wearing a crown and a loros, an end of which is draped over the left wrist. He holds a labarum in the right hand and an akakia in the left. Manus Dei in the upper right field. Inscription in two columns. Border of dots.
Ἀνδρόνικος δεσπότης [ὁ] Παλαιολόγος.
Ἀνδρόνικος δεσπότης ὁ Παλαιολόγος.
Andronikos Palaiologos, despotes.
The overall design of this seal is similar to that of the seal of Andronikos II. As on BZS.1918.104.22.1683, Andronikos III stands to the front, holding a labarum in the right hand and an akakia in the left. The manus Dei appears in the upper right field. However, on this seal the emperor's crown is relatively higher, and in contrast with the drapery falling over Andronikos II's wrist the material here is decorated with well-articulated pellets. On the reverse appear accent marks.
A comparison of silver issues of Andronikos II with those of Andronikos III reveals a difference in crown types. For example, on DOC 5.2:504 (pl. 31), the emperor Andronikos II is shown wearing a crown that is relatively flat in comparison with the higher crown that Andronikos III is wearing on DOC 5.2:861 (pl. 48). Of course the overall design of the coin differs considerably from Andronikos III's seal. On the obverse of the coin we find Christ enthroned. The reverse shows the emperor standing at left wearing a loros. He is paired with St. Demetrios, who stands at right and wears a tunic and a himation.

For such an ingenious tool, the Nail Kicker is based on a very simple concept. What if you could use a nail gun instead of a hammer to pound a nail back through a board? All you would need is a nailer without a magazine, right? That's the idea behind the Nail Kicker.
The V20 model I tested is a brand-new second- generation tool that will be available in May; its added improvements really make a difference in safety and versatility, and in maintaining the condition–and therefore the value–of salvaged material.
Besides having no magazine, the Nail Kicker differs from a nailer in three ways:
- A longer driver rod overshoots the nose of the tool by as much as 3/4- inch for extra reach.
- Different-diameter driver rods and nose guides can be exchanged for use with different-size fasteners.
- There is no safety mechanism, so the tool is always "hot."
The first step in setting up the Nail Kicker is installing the correct-diameter driver and nose guide. This takes a few minutes and should be done in a clean environment to avoid getting debris in the tool's motor cylinder. Each driver has its own attached piston, which you simply slide into the opened head of the tool. (Rub a little oil onto the piston gasket beforehand.) Then you bolt the top back down and secure the nose guide to the fixed nose piece by screwing it into the body of the tool. Be careful not to lose the springs for either assembly.
Once you've configured the tool for the size of the fasteners you're removing, the only other adjustments you need to make are to the pressure of the compressor and the depth of the retractable nose guide. Changing the pressure keeps the ejected nails from flying out with too much force and ricocheting around. Hardened, tapered cut nails in old flooring might need only 80 psi, while thin flooring staples may need the extra velocity and momentum of a 120-psi punch.
Adjusting the nose guide for depth lets you set how far past the nose the driver will overshoot. If needed, a set screw will hold the retractable nose guide up to adjust this depth, but I prefer to leave the nose guide down. Since it's spring-loaded, I can vary the amount of overdrive by pushing in the nose the desired amount before pulling the trigger.
Old cut nails shoot easily out of hardwood flooring because they stay straight and their tapered shape makes them loosen with the slightest backward movement. I had no luck ejecting coated sinkers all the way out of newer 2-by lumber–their adhesive keeps them in–but older common and box nails shoot out of aged wood well. For bent nails, you use the nose guide to straighten them before driving them out.
To protect the wood, you want to minimize the penetration of the driver itself, but stubborn nails might need a second shot with the nose guide pushed in against the wood. Pushing too hard can bury the driver 3/4- inch under the surface and split apart the wood you're trying to salvage. The largest driver is rated for use on huge nails up to 5/16 inch in diameter and 7 inches long, but I never ran into anything that big to try it on.
Removing staples proved to be more of a challenge for the Nail Kicker. It can be done, but with a much lower success rate. Thin, 15-1/2-gauge flooring staples routinely break at the bent corner of the head–which means you have to pull one of the two legs by hand–but fiddling with the air pressure and using a combination of short and full-length hits on the staple legs can result in some pretty good rates of de-stapling. There's really no other way to drive sunken staples out of hardwood flooring. Some pros in the reuse business have given up on pulling flooring staples and instead shear the legs with a cutoff wheel on a small grinder. I semisuccessfully cleared about 600 square feet of oak flooring of staples with the Nail Kicker, but the day and a half it took felt too long.
One tip to keep in mind is to make a safe catch basin for the forcefully ejected fasteners. De-nailing above dirt or gravel may be safe enough, but when you're shooting over a hard surface or into a garbage can or bucket, you should use a pad of cardboard or carpet to slow the projectiles. More than once, staples struck me in the face after ricocheting off the concrete floor or out of a plastic bucket. Of course, safety glasses, long pants, and sturdy shoes are necessary, too.
The only persistent problem I had with the unit is that the fixed part of the nose piece would unscrew itself and thereby change the reference point for judging the driver's depth. And every time I wrapped my fingers around it to screw it back in, I worried that the driver would accidentally shoot into my hand. Next time I'll try Teflon tape, but there should be a set screw to hold the part tight.
The Verdict
The Nail Kicker is invaluable for removing fasteners from salvaged wood that otherwise might not be worth the effort to save. A quick squeeze of the trigger beats pounding, prying, and pulling any day and keeps the material in better shape for reuse or sale. If you have to de-nail a lot of wood, you should have this unique tool–but if you have to de-staple, there are probably better options.

President Pushes for Shielding Journalists
WASHINGTON—The Obama administration pressed Congress to revive legislation that would give stronger protections to reporters, responding to widespread criticism over the Justice Department's broad seizure of Associated Press phone records.
House Republicans, at a contentious four-hour hearing Wednesday, barraged Attorney General Eric Holder with questions about the AP case and other issues, including the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups.
The AP seizures were part of a Justice Department investigation into national-security leaks. The subpoenas appeared to be handled "contrary to the law and standard procedure," Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told Mr. Holder.
Later in the hearing, the exchange between Mr. Holder and Republicans grew more personal. Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), who last year led an effort that resulted in a vote to hold the attorney general in contempt of Congress, accused him of withholding information. Mr. Holder responded by calling Mr. Issa's conduct "shameful."
As lawmakers from both parties criticized the AP subpoenas, Mr. Holder mostly avoided questions about them, saying he was recused from the case and Deputy Attorney General James Cole was the person who authorized the subpoenas.
As the hearing stretched past 5 p.m., Mr. Holder lamented what he called the "toxic partisan atmosphere" and said he hadn't been shown the respect due an attorney general. He said, "I didn't show up here because I really wanted to."
Republicans said Mr. Holder was the one at fault, accusing him of failing to be forthcoming and criticizing him for saying he couldn't comment on investigations in progress. "You don't have all that much credibility," said Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio). "You've been held in contempt and a host of other things."
In the wake of the AP controversy, President Barack Obama's chief spokesman, Jay Carney, said the White House talked to Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) about reviving "media shield" legislation that would protect journalists from revealing sources as part of an investigation. Mr. Schumer has been a chief proponent of such a law, though an effort to pass it in Mr. Obama's first year in office failed.
The AP has said the government obtained records involving more than 20 phone lines used by its journalists and denounced the move as an intrusion into news gathering. The Justice Department has defended the actions, saying that a leak to the news organization about a 2012 counterterrorism operation put Americans at risk and required an aggressive response. The person responsible for the leak hasn't been identified and the investigation continues.
The episode has proved embarrassing to Mr. Obama. As a presidential candidate in 2008, he supported journalist protections in the form of a federal shield law. He has also often noted his commitment to government transparency. Renewing the effort to pass a shield law is a way for Mr. Obama to answer critics without appearing to meddle in a Justice Department probe.
Mr. Carney said the president wants to seek a balance between giving journalists the freedom to do their jobs and protecting national-security interests. "He does believe that it is appropriate to resubmit that [media-shield] legislation and to try to convert it into law at this time," Mr. Carney said.
Mr. Schumer said, "Right now, there are no guidelines, and we feel that there should be guidelines." He added, "It shouldn't be any time a government official wants information from the press that they can just get it."
Journalism advocacy groups said they welcomed the renewed interest in protecting journalists, though the effectiveness of a shield law would depend on how it is written and how easily the Justice Department could override the protections, citing national-security concerns.
"When you talk about a shield law, it's often completely dependent on what they end up with," said Gregg Leslie, legal defense director for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. "If you keep watering down certain elements…you can end up with a law that doesn't mean much."
The AP subpoenas were connected to a probe by Ronald Machen, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, into a leak concerning a 2012 counterterrorism operation in Yemen. Mr. Holder said that he recused himself because he was interviewed by investigators over the leak and was a "fact witness" in the case. Mr. Holder said he didn't know whether he put the recusal in writing but said that "might be the better practice" in such cases.

All About Zinc
Recently there has been quite a lot of talk about ZINC, so we're going to explain why that is as well as the difference it makes during break-in.
The word is out regarding the reduction of Zinc in today's motor oils, but there is a lot more to the story. Specifically, not all Zinc additives and high Zinc content oils perform the same. Here are four facts related to Zinc. First, the oil additive generally referred to as Zinc is technically Zinc Dialkyl Dithiophosphate (ZDDP). As stated in the book Lubrication Fundamentals," In heavily loaded applications, flat tappet cam followers operate on partial oil films at least part of the time. Lubricants with anti-wear additives are necessary if rapid wear and surface distress are to be avoided. oil additive Zinc Dithiophosphate is to provide anti-wear activity for the camshaft and lifters."
Second, Zinc (ZDDP) is not a lubricant until heat and load are applied. Zinc must react with heat and load to create the sacrificial film that allows Zinc to protect flat-tappet camshafts and other highly loaded engine parts.
Society of Automotive Engineers' Automotive Lubricants Reference Book states, "ZDDP is the predominant anti-wear additive used in crankcase oils, although it is a class of additive rather than one particular chemical. Sensitivity of the additive to commence giving anti-wear protection varies inversely with the thermal stability of the additive."
As a result, the third fact is that not all Zinc (ZDDP) additives react under the same level of heat and load. Zinc has different "Burn" rates. Some Zinc additives have slower "burn" rates that require more heat and more load to activate than other Zinc additives. For example, Passenger Car Motor Oils (PCMO's) typically feature a faster burning Zinc than Diesel Engine Oils due to the lower compression ratios found in gasoline engines compared to compression ignition diesel engines. As a result, not all "High Zinc" oils have the same activation rate. Joe Gibbs Driven BR Break-In oil uses a "Fast Burn" ZDDP that activates quickly. Fourth, detergent additives "compete" against Zinc in the engine. Detergents are additives that clean the engine, but detergents don't distinguish between sludge, varnish and Zinc – it cleans all three away. The "old school" theory on engine break-in was to run non-detergent oils, and this allowed for greater activation of the Zinc additive in the oil. Joe Gibbs Driven BR Break-In oil features a low detergent formula to allow the "Fast Burn" Zinc additive package to activate faster and to full extent.
Characteristics of Zinc and Detergents determine how quickly and to what extent an oil will provide sacrificial boundary film protection for your engine.
In order to achieve seamless protection for your flat-tappet camshaft or highly loaded engine, you need to establish the presence of the correct "Burn Rate" additives on the surface of the camshaft, lifters and other highly stressed engine parts. A properly matched set of assembly lubricants and break-in oil is of high importance.

Spent the evening working on this again, got the cam installed, valves adjusted and motor put back together. We did find one more issue, the freeze plug behind the cam was installed to deep. The cam was pushed up against it and rubbing. we knocked it out and FF is going to source a new plug.
I installed a Lunati VooDoo cam 213/219 @ .050 .515/.530 lift
It had a comp. 268H, 218/218 @ .050 .485/.485

You have me intrigued young man.
Did you get me a Blue Oval Badge to attach to the motor?
..........FYI, if that blue grating doesn't work for you, I can pick up a sheet of expanded metal this week at Central Iron. I think I saw a 4x4 sheet down there the other day.

I know Adam is a friend, and my appreciation to his help is huge.............and with all that being said...............Adam is meticulous when putting an engine together. He definetly has an eye for detail. Even the Silicone was perfect that he layed out.
His focus was amazing considering all the distractions he could have had Friday night.
We are lucky to have his wisdom in our club, and on this site for that mater.
Oh, and the new freeze plug is in, headers are on, and the YJ will be rolled back into the Barn tonight to start installation.

Tried some relective paint with the air brush on the two pullies. Looks wierd when you hit it with the camera flash.

In a round about way, I ended up scoring a set of 36 x 15.50 x 15 MT MTZ's.
I plan on putting them on the Bead locks for the trip to the Blessing.
