text: Cheers is an American sitcom that ran for eleven seasons between 1982 and 1993. The show was produced by Charles/Burrows/Charles Productions in association with Paramount Network Television for NBC and created by the team of James Burrows, Glen Charles, and Les Charles. The show is set in a bar named Cheers in Boston, Massachusetts, where a group of locals meet to drink, relax, and socialize.

Classic Gifts for Classy People
I had so much fun sharing my holiday picks with Birchbox readers, who have impeccable taste. Another fool-proof present? A Birchbox subscription, which start at just 10 dollars. There's even a box for the boys filled with grooming essentials even Mr. Bets couldn't resist. –Bets
1. Paper goods run a close second to beauty products in my world, and no one does them prettier than Sugar Paper. Plus, any excuse to combine stripes, bows and gold foil. 2. We are an old-school whiskey drinking family—mint juleps in the summer and manhattans in the winter. Bulleit is the best. 3. More stripes and gold foil! I can't get enough. And what girl wouldn't want this French votive on her desk or vanity? 4. Pop these wooden toothbrushes in your weekender for a hostess gift, or hand them out to your own overnight guests. 5. My brother is getting this felt wallet for Christmas. Like his Minnesota-raised sister, he has a thing for heritage design with a North Woods vibe. 6. Best. Hand cream. Ever. Rodin Olio Lusso Crema is as rich as its price tag yet miraculously non-greasy. 7. A rose body oil by any other name would not smell this real. It's as gorgeous and natural as everything else in One Love Organics' life-changing line. 8. Speaking of life-changing: J.Crew vintage pajama sets are the best gift I've ever received. This year I'm asking Santa for the short-sleeved version. 9. No style blogger can seem to get enough of Clare Vivier clutches or her use of neon with soft, neutral leathers. 10. There's something incredible satisfying about scribbling on a thick, white notepad. Not a day goes by that someone doesn't ooh and ahh over my stack of them, from Russell + Hazel.

After plenty of buzz from the fashion world about Alexander Wang's Samsung collaboration, the lambskin drawstring backpack is finally on the market this week. As Wang told us last February during New York Fashion Week, he called on stylists, photographers, and other industry friends to illustrate any image using a Samsung Galaxy Note II phone. Wang interpreted the collective inspiration into a final grungy graphic pattern, pictured here in an image exclusive to ELLE.com.
"The abstract print really captures the energy of New York City," the designer said. "This collaboration is a great example of how technology and style can come together in an unexpected but really meaningful way."
Proceeds of the bag will benefit Art Start, a non-profit organization that supports arts workshops for kids at risk.
Score a limited-edition Alexander Wang x Samsung Galaxy Wallie gym sack for $550 at alexanderwang.com starting August 22.

Oct 05, 2010 | ISBN 9781556439308
"In Green for Life, Victoria Boutenko focuses on the benefits of greens and offers 45 of her favorite green smoothie recipes."
—Publishers Weekly
"Green for Life is a revolutionary but simple idea whose time has come. It is a clear inspiration and great resource to readers who desire to lead healthier lives."
—Midwest Book Review
"In more than thirty-five years of practice as a psychiatrist affiliated with the Harvard Medical School, I have learned one thing very well: Human behavior is very hard to change. Now Victoria Boutenko is persuading me otherwise. … Thirty days of green smoothies will change how you feel, and how you feel about yourself. That's no small achievement for one small book."
—A. William Menzin, MD, Harvard Medical School, from the foreword
"Victoria Boutenko's clear, simple, masterful concept is so valuable, so powerful—we can expect to see and feel the world of health rocked to its foundations within the decade."
—Thomas C. Chavez, homeopath and author of Body Electronics
"Victoria, you did it again! I love your new book. It will bring health to millions, reduce future risks of degenerative diseases for new generations, and make life easier for all of us now. A must read!"
—Dr. Ruza Bodganovich, internationally renowned lecturer and author of The Cure is in the Cause
"Raw food expert Victoria Boutenko wants you to eat more leafy greens, but she knows chomping on big bunches of them can be difficult. So, in the second edition of her book Green for Life, originally published in 2005, she instead recommends blending kale, spinach, chard, and the like with different fruits and vegetables and drinking a quart of the resulting green smoothie every day… Already own the book? The new version includes nutritional information on Boutenko's favorite edible weeds (stinging nettles, dandelions, lambsquarters); testimonials from smoothie converts, who marvel at how their various ailments disappear after going green; and some 20 additional recipes for smoothies and puddings, which Boutenko perfected over six years of experimentation."
—Vegetarian Times
"Green for Life is the book that makes the case, the proof, if you will, that green smoothies are the missing link in human nutrition… After you read the science and the amazing testimonials, you'll be itching to make your first smoothie… Few books are as 'must-have' as this one… 10+ out of 10."
—The Raw Mocha Angel
"Green for Life is a book of hope and encouragement, as it shares a simple and viable way to revitalize your life."
—Lily of the Valley
"Amazing and inspiring… Green for Life is impossible to read without craving a fresh, green smoothie. Why? The information and stories in the book (including dozens of first person experiences from those who changed their diets after reading the first edition of Green for Life) are compelling, even shocking, and offer the promise of healing for any of us with health and skin issues… pick up this influential book and start getting greens into your daily routine!"
—Beauty is Wellness
"[Green for Life] is extremely motivating. It's short, it's interesting, and it makes you want to run to your nearest green grocer for an armload of greens to shove into your blender."
—All Things Nourishing
"Green for Life is a very informative book if you are just getting into the green smoothie revolution. Lots of information and case studies on why green smoothies are beneficial, along with a recipe section. Chlorophyll is liquid sunshine!"
—In My Mind's Zen Garden
"As a nutrition professional I frequently discover new diets and eating habits. Many claim to offer optimal health or weight loss, disease control or the next thing. I find myself reading diet books with a certain skepticism… [Victoria Boutenko's] research finds many benefits to adding green smoothies to the daily diet… I highly recommend reading [Green for Life], and trying the smoothies, to anyone. If your health is declining, your weight is increasing or decreasing unexpectedly, or if you would like overall health benefits of amazing greens…read this book!"
—Rachel Fox, RD, Eat Drink Better
"[Green for Life offers] background, logistics, health information, facts, and even a short study with people trying out the smoothie lifestyle. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! … I noticed a difference in myself after only one day drinking the smoothies. That shocked me. I felt so betrayed by my own desires of wanting 'regular' food. I felt more energized, didn't need as much sleep the night afterward, and could tell my digestion was better… I'm glad to know there's an easy way to add greens and fruits to my diet… helpful and informative."
—Kari, Reading For Sanity
"[Boutenko] makes it clear throughout [Green for Life] that consuming vitamin-packed smoothies is not only the most effective way for our bodies to absorb essential nutrients, adding just one quart of green smoothie a day to one's diet can help with everything from weight loss and cravings, to healing skin conditions and reversing diabetes. She literally has pages and pages of inspiring testimonials, which is helpful for us as readers since we can pinpoint our trouble spot and then look through the book for a way to tackle it with the help of greens."
—Beauty Snob
"Go green with in-season fruits and veggies via one of Victoria Boutenko's Green for Life smoothie recipes. Our fave, the Aloe-Ha."
—The Posh Mom Life
"A good beginner's guide that is ripe for discussion."
—Elevate Difference
"Green for Life is a classic tome on green smoothies, with lots of information on the health benefits and easy recipes to get started."

First Look: Mediterranean Fare on the Water at Westward in Seattle
Note: First Looks give previews of new bars and restaurants we're curious about. Since they are arranged photo shoots, we do not make critical evaluations or recommendations.
"Intriguing spaces and thoughtful food." That's the slogan of the Huxley Wallace Collective, which recently opened Westward on Northlake Way by Lake Union in Seattle. I've driven that stretch of road along the lake for nearly 15 years, and never have I envisioned a restaurant like this in such an idyllic setting, with all seats offering a view of the water and the city. An intriguing space indeed—and an example of how far Huxley Wallace has come since the popular Skillet Street Food truck started traveling to neighborhoods serving burgers with bacon jam years ago.
You can pull up to Westward by bike, car, or even boat, as there's a dock available. Those spending a day on the water can grab beer and wine, charcuterie, and other snacks (plus wool blankets) from the Little Gull Grocery inside the restaurant. Little Gull also has a 22-seat oyster bar overseen by champion shucker David Leck.
The head of Westward's kitchen is Chef Zoi Antonitsas. Tapping into her half-Greek heritage, Antonitsas says the restaurant's mission is to create "contemporary Mediterranean, water-inspired food." (We've already given a First Look at Westward's water-inspired cocktails.) In addition to nibbles like fried chickpeas and marinated olives, expect a variety of fish and seafood dishes prepared with Mediterranean flavors, with emphasis on a fresh, seasonal, and healthy approach.
Check the slideshow for a look at eight dishes we tried at Westward shortly after its opening.

Talking men: Don't marry a Silent Type
This is not a Hurricane Isabel story, although it starts like one. Two days after the hurricane, my entire county was still without electricity except for one small area, an intersection near the expressway with a fast food restaurant and gas station on each corner. Everyone in the county descended.
McDonald's was under siege, and Burger King was only marginally better, so we went that way. The line for the drive-through wrapped around the building twice. My husband directed our car to the end of that line, and I began squawking.
"Why are we getting in the drive-through? The line will be shorter inside. I even see empty tables!"
"I don't like to eat inside."
"Why? Why? It has air conditioning. And lights. Things we don't have at home."
That should have settled the argument right there, but he was still balking. So I spelled out more reasons for eating in.
You get to eat the food while it's still warm.
If they make a mistake in the order, you can correct it on the spot.
After you eat, your garbage is their garbage.
And I can enjoy a meal with chicken without four cats breathing down my neck, purring, "Bird? Bird? Is that hot, dead bird? Give me bird!"
My husband passively listened to all this, then, with great reluctance, began circling for a parking space. I graciously offered him equal time.
"Why do you always want to take it home?"
"I can watch TV at home."
Ordinarily I might have given him a point or two on the Marriage Scoreboard for that, but on this particular day, the television he was so eager to get home to was a very small, black and white, battery-operated one that was picking up a single local channel.
Then it dawned on me it wasn't the television at all. He wouldn't be expected to make conversation if we were eating in front of the television.
I suppose there are men who are both good conversationalists and heterosexual, but I've encountered very few, if any. I think they must all get jobs as talk show hosts, the skill is so rare and unique.
The last time I persuaded him to actually enter the Burger King, I spent the entire meal performing my favorite monologue, "My Very Stressful and Horrible Day at Work." He said nothing, no matter how hair-raising and incredible the events of My Very Stressful and Horrible Day at Work became. So I switched to a topic guaranteed to get a response, "My Last Boyfriend Was an Excellent Conversationalist, Unlike You."
"He was a great listener," I concluded.
"I was listening," my husband finally spoke.
"But you weren't responding. You didn't participate. You don't comment on my comments. It wasn't a ping-pong game of thoughts and ideas. It was hitting golf balls off a tee."
"I was listening," my husband said. And that was, if nothing else, an improvement over silence in front of a television, so I grudgingly awarded him a point on the Marriage Scoreboard.
But it got me to really think about that last boyfriend who was the excellent conversationalist because, in actuality, he was only an excellent conversationalist on the phone. He called when I got home from work and talked until 9:30 at night. I thought we were having the most incredible relationship of sharing, only to find out after it ended that the bands start playing in the clubs at 10pm, and he was only killing time with me until he could go out and rub elbows with some happening babes.
He was a master of the art of the ping-pong conversation, showing interest in a woman's comments, responding, contributing, encouraging, just to keep the phone call going until it had served his purpose of passing the duller part of the evening. When we did go out, it was always to a movie, which is like television only bigger and louder.
And to my horror, I remembered that we never ate in fast food restaurants, either. Even though the nearest Wendy's was 20 minutes from his apartment, he always ordered out. I'd finish my meal in the car while it was still hot. (When a relationship is in the fragile beginning stage, you can't really squawk about wanting to eat inside.)
He, however, patiently waited until he got home, unpacked everything, and rearranged it on his own plates before settling down in front of the television (not only creating garbage, but dirty dishes). And there I sat, with no food, since I had eaten it already, and no conversation, since we were now in television-mode. This was hardcore anti-conversation! I had been deceived.
Good conversation is such a precious commodity, sometimes even a man craves it. That would totally explain the mystery of why Wilbur spent all his time in the barn with Mr. Ed when he had hot babe like Carol in the house. (Did you ever notice the body on Carol?) But Mr. Ed talked.
It's been a long, slow learning process. I'm reporting this discovery to womankind as a warning. If you hear of an impending hurricane, gas up the car, fill up the bathtub, pack a cooler with ice, stock plenty of batteries, and marry a man who talks.
PULL QUOTE: I suppose there are men who are both good conversationalists and heterosexual, but I've encountered very few.

You know you love it. Your E-peen is back.
You should see the new mass effect edition in the tech section.
Lancer changed the title, I edited it slightly to be more precise.
get on steam derp face
You dont' get it, never-mind.
Yeah I just saw.
He is so mad over it all, me and him spoke over Steam and I leveled with him over it all.
Pointed out just why so many take snipes at him.
Indeed it is, but he was talking metaphorically, he wasn't talking about me getting shot with bullets, he was talking about me running my mouth in the military and getting an earful for it. Great example here of people taking things out of context and/or not knowing shit about me.

There's only one game that makes Electronic Arts' audience and its shareholders salivate each year. It isn't Madden NFL and it isn't The Sims. The big money, and the big quality it seems, is in FIFA 13. The latest edition of EA's perennial football simulator is shaping up to be one of the year's bestsellers, with 4.5 million copies sold around the world, an impressive number of which were on digital platforms. EA's raking in the cash. FIFA 13 should prove extra profitable this year, though, as evidence suggests that the publisher introduced some unique cost cutting measures. The cheapest way to make money on a game is to not bother making a new one.
All evidence suggests that the Wii and PS Vita editions of FIFA 13 are little more than repackaged versions of older versions of the title.
First, Nintendo World did a gallery comparison between the Wii editions of FIFA 12 and FIFA 13. With the exception of Lional Messi putting in an appearance on 13's title screen, the game's menus, layout, field game, and even messages to players in the game's Career mode are identical. There are squad updates, but that and other minor tweaks are the extent of the differences between the two editions of the game. That is, of course, in addition to FIFA 13's bigger price.
The Wii edition of the game is obviously not a huge priority for EA. Software sales for Nintendo's 6-year-old console have been sinking for years and, with the exception of some of its first-party titles, have all but bottomed out ahead of the Wii U's release. It's a dishonest, consumer-unfriendly release, but it is a fiscally sound one. The PlayStation Vita edition is less forgivable.
By all accounts, FIFA 13 for PS Vita is almost the exact same game as FIFA Football, a game released for the handheld in February at the system's launch. Based on the FIFA 11 engine, the new release is a full-priced update with tweaked touch control.
When asked by Wired whether EA intentionally repackaged products, a spokesman ignored the question, responding that the publisher "felt it was important to continue to offer fans the opportunity to play an authentic football experience on Wii."
It's tough to finger just what kind of impact these shoddy releases have had on consumers. Of the 4.5 million total copies sold, including Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Vita, PSP, PS2, Wii, and iOS releases, EA only provided some break down. 353,000 of those copies were PS3 and Xbox 360 copies sold in the US. 1.23 million across all platforms in the UK. No numbers were provided for other regions like India where FIFA is hugely popular despite being hugely expensive.

Yip Foundation gala spreads the love
Afraid that the not-so-hot economy would impact the success of the 2010 Nathan Yip Foundation Gala, Linda Yip literally spent every waking hour working the phones, calling everyone she knew — and a few she didn't — in an effort to drum up ticket sales.
"Linda was very, very scared that no one would come this year," her husband, Jimmy, recalled. "So she used her charm and made phone call after phone call." Trouble is, while Linda did a bang-up job of selling, she maybe wasn't so great at keeping count. "Very quickly the event was sold out," Jimmy said, "but she didn't realize that it had. So, if it seems more crowded than usual tonight, it's because of Linda didn't get off the phone."
The Yips started the foundation following the 2001 automobile accident that claimed the life of their only child, Nathan. The money raised at an annual Chinese New Year Gala is used to build or renovate schools and orphanages in rural, impoverished areas of China, Africa and Mexico, gestures that are a living legacy to the philanthropic spirit Nathan had embraced from childhood to young adulthood.
The foundation also supports literacy efforts in Colorado, and malnourished children in Haiti. A special red envelope appeal conducted during this year's gala raised $5,875 and will be donated to the Colorado-based Healing Hands of Hope to purchase and distribute packaged meals to children affected by Haiti's recent earthquake. Healing Hands representative Nancy Pederson was at the event to speak briefly about its work.
The gala itself raised $260,000 — an 11 percent increase over last year.
Quite a few of the guests were there because they're fans of Hao Jiang Tian, a University of Denver graduate who has gone on to become an international opera star. Tian's performance at the gala was the grand finale to a week's worth of appeareances throughout the Denver area. He was accompanied by his wife, Martha Liao, a former geneticist at Denver's Eleanor Roosevelt Center.
Also entertaining was Yang Bo, who came to Colorado two years ago for a part in the Central City Opera's premiere of "Poet Li Bai" and stayed to enroll at the University of Colorado Boulder. His accompanist was Cherry Creek high school sophomore Sabrina Luo, whose father, James Luo, is the Yips' godson.
A host of international visitors flew in for the festivities, including such dear friends of the Yips as Sri Redjeki from Jakarta; Catherine and Jacky Lam from Hong Kong; Stephanie and Kevin Tung of Shanghai (she is Nathan Yip's godmother); Su Zhou of Canada; and Wallace Chan of Hong Kong.
Agatha Kessler, a member of the Nathan Yip Foundation board and CEO of Fentress Architects, flew to Hong Kong to escort Chan, a jewelery designer whose pieces typically range in price from $50,000 to $7 million, to Denver. They arrived the night before the gala and were at Channel 7 at 7:30 a.m. the following day for an interview where talked about pieces he had designed for sale at the Yip Foundation event.
They included a purple butterfly (the butterfly is the Yip Foundation symbol) set with a natural purple sapphire, pink sapphire, diamonds, white gold and titanium. It was purchased by Kessler's husband, Curt Fentress.
George Schock, owner of the new George Schock Gallery in Cherry Creek North, donated a framed photograph of the San Juan Mountains that was purchased at the live auction by Anna and John Sie. Schock was introduced to the Nathan Yip Foundation by longtime supporters Gayle and Gary Ray when he moved to Denver and leased their Cherry Creek townhome.
The Sies were joined by their daughter and son-in-law, Michelle Sie Whitten and Tom Whitten; Anna's brother, Tony Maglione, of New Jersey; and his daughter, Courtney Maglione, who recently moved to Denver.
Another piece that generated considerable attention in the live auction conducted by Gary Corbett was a quilt made from beautifully embroidered pieces containing the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac. Members of the Miao minority group from the village of LiZi, where the fifth Nathan Yip School of Hope was built, did the embroidery as a gift to the Yips, and foundation volunteer Anne Sneed, who had visited the school in China last spring, spent countless hours incorporating them into the quilt that was eventually purchased by Peter Kudla.
Sneed and her husband, Bob, brought many new supporters to the gala, including Doug and Sharon Scott; Ginny and Rob Bayless; their daughters, Alison and Kate Sneed; Lindsay and Grayson Heller; and Robbie Schweiss.
Crestmoor residents Denise and Kevin Gliwa invited a group of their Jasmine Street neighbors: Martha and Dr. Irfan Hussain; Melissa Manassee, who served on the gala committee; Dr. Jay Reusch, the cardiologist pictured on the cover of 5280 magazine's best doctor issue from 2007, and his wife, Dr. Jane Reusch, who is considered one of the nation's top endocrinologists.
As a show of thanks for the foundation's participation in a Colorado UpLIFT Guild literacy program, past presidents Ryta Sondergard, Peggy Hector, Joyce Wilson and Kathy Emmons purchased a table for the gala.
Emmons and her husband, Dr. Larry Emmons, also donated a week's stay at their brand new home in Mexico to the evening's auction. The home, Kathy said, is so new, that the high bidders will have to wait until the furniture is delivered before arranging their stay.
Sondergard's husband, Steve, donated a signed copy of his newly published book, "Climate Balance," and lunch; the package went to John Sie.
Denver Lyric Opera Guild members Jackie Writz and her husband, Robert, and Becky Gantner and her husband, Gary, also were there. The Writzes were high bidders on a 5-night, 6-day luxury stay for two in California's wine country.
Other familiar faces in the crowd: Diana Lee and Dr. Roy Stahlgren; Stephen Seifert; Sandy Vinnik; Harvey and Joanne Sender with their son, Ben; Ding-Wen and Tai-Dan Hsu; Ellen Robinson; Diana and Jim Vickery; Frank and Sherry Sargent; Robin McDougal; Alan and Jackie Forker; Mike and Nancy Branigan; Jan and Sheldon Steinhauser; Meiko Nakumura Bailey and daughter Hanako Bailey Smith; videographer Mike Kalush, whose wife, 7News anchor Anne Trujillo, emceed the gala; Celeste Fleming with her daughter, Anne, and friend, Penny Eucker; Gerry and Fred Miale with daughters, Cara and Gwen Miale; Krista Argramonte, who has chaired the silent auction since the gala's start, and her husband Eric Mohr; Karen Valliant, who introduced her long time friend, Kellee Hasler, to the NYF and Hasler, owner of Events Unlimited, was so impressed that she volunteered her time to help coordinate event logistics; Paul Ramsey of Shaver-Ramsey Oriental Rugs; Suky Yip; Tarika Cefkin; Allan Cheng; Lien Loi; Lisza Gulyas; and John Kenny.

Enhancing brand performance in the US luxury auto market
GfK researched one of Europe's major auto manufacturers to determine the strength of its brand relationships with customers in the United States.
A large European auto manufacturer that focuses on the luxury segment.
This company has improved the perception of its product and brand in the US market over the past few years and is establishing itself as a serious alternative for premium car buyers. Though our client's brand equity and sales are steadily growing in the US, we conducted research around ways our client could further strengthen its performance.
We analyzed the auto manufacturer's market impact using our Brand Vivo methodology – an approach that provides insight into consumer-brand relationships.
The research showed the client is lagging the market leaders in consideration, familiarity and buying intention. We found that the automaker's relationships with a high share of consumers in its target market were weak. Thus, to increase long-term brand success in the US, we recommended that the client:
- evaluate current communications to ensure it had strong "personal fit" and "fun to drive"
- monitor social media buzz and take actions to encourage website visits
- ensure relevant distribution of service centers.

As the national debate over gay rights reached a crescendo with President Barack Obama's historic announcement of support for same-sex marriage, the Beltway was buzzing.
The source of the buzz was a memo by respected Republican pollster Jan van Lohuizen, warning GOP leaders that, unless the Grand Old Party moderated its positions and rhetoric on same-sex marriage and other LGBT issues, it could find itself marginalized into political irrelevance.
Said Van Lohuizen, "Support for same sex marriage has been growing and in the last few years support has grown at an accelerated rate with no sign of slowing down."
U.S. & World
He continued, "Polling conducted among Republicans show that majorities of Republicans and Republican leaning voters support extending basic legal protections to gays and lesbians."
California Republicans have long heard that song; their party is caught behind the political and cultural curve on several social issues.
Just for years ago, Californians narrowly approved Proposition 8 (52 percent to 48 percent), which banned same sex marriage.
Fast forward to 2012. According to a March survey by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC), 52 percent of Californians support same sex marriage, while 41% oppose it.
Today, in this Deep Blue State, it's unlikely that any shift by probable Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, away from his opposition to same-sex marriage would make any difference in California's Democratic Presidential preference.
In statewide elections, the political arithmetic is pushing Republicans toward the periphery. (Currently, none hold statewide elective office.)
However, is "same-sex marriage" the kind of issue that could make a difference—positive or negative--in down-ballot, Congressional and legislative races, particularly in light of the new "top-two" primary and more competitive redistricting?
It remains to be seen how the same-sex marriage issue will be handled by each candidate in each new district.
A candidate running in the open primary—against not only opponents from other parties and independents, but against members of his or her own party--may try to use it as a means to differentiate from others in the race.
There's a highly competitive primary in CD 26, a new Ventura County-centric seat that leans slightly Democratic.
However, roughly one of 5 voters is registered as No Party Preference (NPP).
Arguably, the three major candidates are conservative Republican State Senator Tony Strickland, liberal Democratic Assemblywoman Julia Brownley and Ventura County Supervisor Linda Parks, a former Republican running as an NPP candidate.
None of the three have their views on same-sex-marriage up on their website—yet.
Who might be the first to take a stand? Why? How might Presidential turnout impact voters' choices and candidates' stances in down-ballot races like this one?
Might an African-American or Latino candidate be tempted to use the issue—one way or another—to stand out in a largely minority district?
Exit polls showed that majorities of African-American (70%) and Latino (53%) voters supported Prop 8 in 2008. However, a Field Poll taken this February showed 59% of Californians (a record high level) approve same-sex marriage, including 53% of Latinos and 50% of African Americans/others.
These days political shifts can occur at warp speed. Van Lohuizen maintains "…the trends [in increased support for gay marriage] show that [voters] are rethinking their position."
"As more people have become aware of friends and family members who are gay," he wrote, "attitudes have begun to shift at an accelerated pace. This is not about a generational shift in attitudes, this is about people changing their thinking as they recognize their friends and family members who are gay or lesbian."
In California, the 2012 elections will test the political impact of that "evolution."

Length: 16″- 82″
Thickness: 3/8″ (10mm)
Wood swatches are representations only. May not be exactly as shown.
Kember EcoKlik™ Pewter Oak
Kember EcoKlik™ is designed for use with below, on, or above grade installations. With concrete subfloors, the moisture level must be below 3lbs/1000 square ft/24 hours Once these conditions are met, installation can begin. If the subfloor being covered is radiant-heated, Kember Kreative Floors™ recommends using Kember EcoKlik™ flooring. Kember EcoKlik™ is specially designed for use on radiant-heated subfloors.
Owner/installer responsibility Wood floors create a comfortable ambiance in any room, generating a natural beauty while adding value to your home. However, hardwood is a natural material that may reveal imperfections. Kember Kreative Floors™ pre-finished hardwood floors are manufactured to meet the highest quality standards in the industry, which permit a defect tolerance and grading variance of up to no more than 5%. Defects may be the result of manufacturing or of natural form. Prior to installation, it is the obligation of the installer to ensure that the criteria of the subfloor, listed under the Pre-installation Requirement guide are met. It is the sole responsibility of the owner to approve grade, manufacturing, and finish of product before installation. When the owner is absent at time of installation, this becomes the responsibility of the installer. The installer must also apply sound judgment before and during installation; planks with obvious defects are to be trimmed and used in concealed places or not used at all. Once completely installed, the floor is considered having been accepted by owner and installer. If an installed plank needs to be replaced at a later date, Kember Kreative Floors™ liability is solely limited to the replacement of defective product (flooring materials only and if exceeding the 5% industry accepted norm, which does not include trimming waste allowance). Kember Kreative Floors™ is not in any case liable for installer's poor judgment, quality of installation, labor or any other installation costs. When ordering hardwood flooring, a recommended 5% should be added to the square footage needed – allowing for any cutting waste that may occur, according to type and place of installation.
Finish Kember Kreative Floors™ has developed a unique set of colours with vivid tones that enhance the natural features of hardwood using water-based stains. Nine coatings are applied in total, 2 stain, 4 base coats and 3 topcoats; the use of micronized aluminum oxide is optimized (a.k.a nano-technology) to ensure long-term coating performance. Kember Kreative Floors™ topcoats are enhanced with anti-yellowing agents which significantly reduce the yellowing effects of UV exposure, ensuring years of colourfast natural wood flooring.
Wear layer A 1mm hardwood wear layer provides the look, sound and feel of traditional solid wood floors.
Core An 8mm HDF core provides greater stability than natural wood flooring with a lower step-up height, making Kember Ecoklik™ ideal in condominium apartments and rooms in which low ceiling heights are an issue. Kember Ecoklik™ floors are often low enough that no adjustments need to be made to the bottom height of existing doors.
Sound barrier Installed underneath Kember Ecoklik™, our acoustical foam with moisture barrier attached, serves as an impact noise dampening, both above and below the floor. KemberEcoklik™ floors have an impact insulation class rating of 61 over an 8″ concrete slab, exceeding the IIC rating of 55 required by most condominiums and apartment buildings. This layer also softens the feel underfoot of Kember Ecoklik™ floors, providing an authentic solid wood floor experience.
KemLoc™ assembly system KemLoc™ is a patented floor assembly system developed in Belgium. Utilizing a unique tongue-and-groove-like system, KemLoc™ allows the planks to securely snap together without the use of nails, straps or adhesives to keep the floor together. A proprietary hinge system on the ends of the plank also secure plank ends to ensure there are no gaps. Kember Ecoklik™ floors are floating, meaning they can be applied over any wood or concrete sub-floors. Since no nails or glues are involved, repairs are literally a snap – simply disassemble the floor, replace the plank in question and reassemble it.
Pre-Installation Requirements During installation, pre-finished hardwood floors need to be handled with care to avoid damaging the flooring surface and finish. In any construction or renovation project, installation of hardwood floors should be the very last step.
Environmental Conditions
1. Room temperature must be maintained between 55-72°F (13-22°C) for one week prior, during and after installation.
2. Subfloor must be dry and basement well ventilated to avoid any moisture-related damages.
3. At all times the relative humidity must be maintained between 15% and 80%.
4. The maximum moisture level reading for wooden subfloors is 12%, with no more than a 4% differential between the subfloor and wooden planks. If installing over a concrete subfloor, the moisture level must be below 5 lbs/1000ft2 in 24 hours (floating) or 3 lbs/1000ft2 in 24 hours (glue down). Raise heat and increase ventilation if moisture reading is too high. Postpone installation of wood floor until moisture readings have lowered to an acceptable level.
5. If installing over radiant heat, the system must have been tested and operational for 3 weeks. The surface temperature of the subfloor must never exceed 85°F(29°C).
Subfloor Conditions
1. Subfloor must be securely fastened to joists to prevent any movement or squeaks. If movements or squeaks are evident, additional screws should be added to subfloor, until this problem is eliminated.
2. The maximum subfloor level tolerance is 1/4″ (6mm) per 10′ (3m). If the subfloor is outside of this tolerances, it is essential to level out any intolerances using a leveling compound. If necessary, use #20 grit sandpaper to sand off any highpoints of a wooden subfloor. If concrete, use a concrete grinder to remove the high points.
3. Finally, before installation of flooring, vacuum the subfloor and remove any debris or obstacles.
4. Roll out acoustical underlayment (optional) with a moisture barrier over the entire floor surface. Tape all the seams.
Room Conditions
1. Select a starting point or wall.
2. Choose a layout angle.
3. Undercut or remove any baseboards if necessary.
4. Undercut doorjamb and doorstop to allow flooring to be inserted underneath.
5. Pre-select and reserve strips of flooring that are color matched to transition moldings. (Transition moldings to be installed at end of project.)
Installation Kember EcoKlik™ flooring is specially equipped with the European-designed KemLoc™ joint. The KemLoc™ joint system uses a unique tongue-and-groove joint that is able to withstand the most extreme pressure. With this method, planks do not need to be nailed or glued down. Simply by "clicking" the joints together, planks are held firmly in place. Floors are easily relocated up to three times under full warranty by simply un-clicking and then re-clicking the planks together again.
Step 1: Plank laying
Carefully choose planks, removing any imperfections and reserving planks with high color variation for more conspicuous locations such as closets. Click together two rows of flooring, spanning the full length of the room. Align these two rows 1/2″ (12mm) away from the starting wall, and adjacent walls.
Select a plank long enough for row end, so that the piece trimmed off can be used to start the following row. Make sure to leave 1/2″ (12mm) gap at the end of each row between the plank and wall.
To prevent the effect of end-joint alignment, planks should differentiate at least 4″ (101mm) in length than that of the row beside it.
Continue installation of planks across the full width of the room.
Often times, the last row must be ripped to allow for the required 1/2″ (12mm) gap alongside the finishing wall.
Carefully store extra planks, in the event that future repairs are needed.
Step 2: Accessory installation
If applicable, install transition moldings, end cap, t-mold and reducers.
Install baseboards and quarter rounds, ensuring that they are nailed only to the wall and not the floor [allowing for floor movement].
Radiant Heat Installations
Caution: Prior to installation of Kember EcoKlik™ wood flooring, the radiant heat system must have been tested and in operation for three [3] weeks. The surface temperature of the sub-floor must never exceed 85°F (29°C). Proper relative humidity levels must be maintained consistently throughout the year. Use humidifiers and/or dehumidifiers as necessary to maintain suggested humidity level. Never change the temperature of a sub-floor radiant heat system by more than 5°F (2.8°C) per day when switching the system on and off.
A full range of compatible molding options are available for use in conjunction with KemberEcoklik™ flooring. Provide the ultimate finishing touch to the borders of your KemberEcoklik™ floor.
T-molding: Used to transition between two floor coverings of equal height.
Reducer: Used to transition between two floor coverings of different heights.
End cap: Used to finish the outside perimeter of your room or to transition two different floor coverings of equal height.
Stair nosing: Coming soon…
Floor maintenance tips: Do
1. To prevent scratching the finish, sweep or vacuum floors often to eliminate dust and abrasives.
2. Mop up spills immediately to safeguard floor from cupping.
3. Use of rugs in and outside of entranceways as well as high traffic areas, (i.e. dishwasher, in front of sinks) will help prevent your floor from showing early signs of wear. Use rugs with mesh backings, which prevent humidity from being trapped underneath the rug.
4. Securely fasten felt pads to the bottom of furniture legs or feet to prevent scratching of floors. Replace pads when needed.
5. Use only large, rubber or polyurethane castors. Caution: Plastic castors may potentially damage your floor.
6. When moving heavy furniture, don't compromise the finish of your wood flooring. Flip a mat or small rug over and place a smaller piece of plywood on top of rug. Place furniture carefully on top of plywood. Slide furniture safely and smoothly to its new location.
7. Trim your pet's claws often to avoid scratching of floors.
8. Kember Kreative Floors™ uses anti-yellowing UV stains that reduce and delay the effects of the sun on your hardwood floors. Kember Kreative Floors™ advises the use of curtains or blinds whenever possible to aid in the UV protection of your flooring. The yellowing of lightwood species is a natural phenomenon, that can only be delayed, and not completely eliminated.
9. Make sure to maintain a relative humidity level between 15% and 60%. Wood is a natural material that reacts to relative humidity variations. High humidity causes buckling in wood floors, and low humidity causes gapping between strips. Control the humidity with a dehumidifier and/or humidifier. If the subfloor is heated with radiant heat, ensure the surface temperature never exceeds 85°F(29°C). Never adjust the system by more than 5°F(2.8°C) per day when turning the system on and off.
10. Lightly mist floors with hardwood floor cleaner, then clean and polish using a terry cloth mop.
1. Never wet mop hardwood floors.
2. Never change the temperature of a subfloor radiant heat system by more than 5°F(2.8°C) per day when switching the system on and off.
3. Never use wax, oil-based, or other household cleaning detergents on your floors. Never allow high-heels or cleats on your floor, as they will damage the finish.
Structural Lifetime Warranty
KemberEcoklik™ – Kember Kreative Floors™ warrants to the original purchaser its KemberEcoklik™ engineered pre-finished hardwood floor against buckling, twisting, de-lamination, warping, and cupping under standard environment conditions. Standard environment conditions mean that the interior relative humidity level in your home remain between 15% and 80% year-round.
Installations Over Radiant Heated Subfloors KemberEcoklik™ can be installed over a radiant-heated subfloor. In order to ensure that buckling, twisting, delamination, warping, and cupping do not occur, never change the temperature of a subfloor radiant heat system by more than 5°F(2.8°C) per day when switching the system on and off. Prior to installation of KemberEcoklik™ wood flooring, the radiant heat system must have been tested and in operation for three [3] weeks. The surface temperature of the subfloor must never exceed 85°F(29°C). Proper relative humidity levels must be maintained consistently throughout the year. Use humidifiers and/or dehumidifiers as necessary to maintain suggested humidity level.
Coverage This warranty covers and is limited to the replacing or repairing (at Kember Kreative Floors™'s discretion) the defective boards due to manufacturing defects that exceed the five percent [5%] industry standard (material only). Any damage that has been incurred due to inappropriate storage, installation, transportation, extreme indoor conditions [outside of the 15%-80% relative humidity range], intense sunlight, or by any other cause are not covered under the warranty. Due to the natural properties of wood, minor contraction and expansion will occur. These minor dimensional alterations that occur during seasonal climate changes are not covered under this warranty.
50-Year Finish Warranty Kember Kreative Floors™ warrants to the original purchaser that the surface finish, UV cured and factory applied on its pre-finished hardwood floors will not wear through or separate from the wood for a period of:
Fifty-years [50], from the date of purchase, when used under normal residential traffic conditions
Three-years [3] from the date of purchase, when used under light commercial conditions, such as business offices, clothing and/or toy stores [or any non-food service stores] in shopping malls, for all products. Kember Kreative Floors™ does not recommend the use of American Cherry or American Walnut on light commercial application due to the low relative hardness of these specific species. These warranties are subject to the compliance of all installation and maintenance guidelines provided by Kember Kreative Floors™.
To File a Claim A claim needs to be filed by the original purchaser in the unlikely event of a breech of warranty. The purchaser must contact in writing, both the store where the product was purchased, as well as Kember Kreative Floors™. Written notice must be filed no later than thirty-days [30] subsequent to the occurrence of the problem that has given reason for a claim to be filed, and within the warranty coverage period. Information must be provided to verify identity of original purchaser, as well as invoices for proof of purchase. Flooring in question must have been purchased from an authorized Kember Kreative Floors™ factory store and be paid for in full. Kember Kreative Floors™ strongly suggests that buyers retain their original invoice and/or receipt along with Kember Kreative Floors™'s installation, maintenance, and warranty guides in a safe place. Kember Kreative Floors™ reserves the right to have a Kember Kreative Floors™ representative inspect the floor and remove samples for technical analysis. The representative will then report the findings within a thirty-day (30) time period.
Warranty exclusions This Kember Kreative Floors™ warranty excludes any indentations, scratched, or surface damage cause by lack of proper maintenance, accidents, misuse, high-heeled shoes or cleats, liquids, pets, insects, negligence, abuse, pebbles, sand, other abrasives, wet mopping, failure to follow all of manufacturer's specific written instructions, poor workmanship by installer, and gloss reduction due to surface wear. In this warranty, some exclusions, conditions, and limitations are not permitted in some provinces and states by law. This warranty provides specific legal rights and does not necessarily include all the legal rights that are effective in some provinces and states. The solitary remedy provided within these warranties is the repair, refinish, or replacement at the discretion of Kember Kreative Floors™, of defective products. In the improbable circumstance that Kember Kreative Floors™ is unable to correct the defectiveness after a reasonable number of attempts, Kember Kreative Floors™ will refund, if requested by the purchaser, the original purchased price of the portion of defective flooring on a prorate basis. Any attempt that is made to repair, replace, or refinish the floor prior to the involvement of Kember Kreative Floors™ with a full inspection and authorized repair, will void this warranty. No distributor, dealer, installer, agent, or Kember Kreative Floors™ sales representative is authorized to alter or increase the terms or coverage of these warranties.

The Vikings have hired Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer to be their next coach, according to every football reporter you follow on Twitter. It's his first head coaching gig after being passed over numerous times in a 20-year NFL career.
You might know Zimmer as "that guy who's always on Hard Knocks and swears a lot." This year was his third appearance on the show, and this video represents a pretty typical preseason unit meeting for him.

Although all eyes may be on Greece, as the European Union and its oversight of national economies seems to disintegrate, it is less the impact upon this relatively small peninsular nation that threatens real collapse in the European Union as the impact upon the other peninsular nations. Iberia has two of the five "PIIGS" — Portugal and Spain — but the biggest nation and the newest edition to the list of wobbling fiscal systems is Italy, the fourth largest economy in Europe and the seventh largest economy in the world. The Italian economy is as large as those of Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland all combined.
The Italian economy is also right on the edge. The latest data shows that the Italian economy shrank during the first quarter of 2012 by .8 percent, which means that the recession which has hold of Italy is growing deeper. That means the GDP is a full 6 percent smaller than in 2008. It also means that Italy, along among the major economies of the world, actually has a smaller per capita GDP than in 2000. The French economy, in the same period, posted zero economic growth.
One consequence is that the interest rates that the Italian government will need to pay in order to service its sovereign debts jumped by 16 points to 5.86 percent on ten year bonds when the bad economic news was released. That means investors want even more revenue from the Italian governments just to pay its existing debt. And that Italian national debt is really big, the third largest of any nation in the world after the €1.9 trillion, smaller only than the United States and Japan.
The current Italian government is led by Prime Minister Mario Monti, and Monti did not come to power in the usual fashion in parliamentary governments, via a general election. Instead Monti assumed the post of prime minister after Silvio Berlusconi resigned late last year. The projections are that Italy's economy will contract at annual rate of 3.5 percent this year, which is three times fast that the so-called "therapeutic" pace adopted by the International Monetary Fund.
Romano Prodi, the prime minister before Berlusconi, said that the European Union is risking "contagion" not only to Spain and to Italy, but also to France, if Greece leaves the union. As Prodi put it, if Greece leaves: "The whole house of cards will come down." Angelo Drusiani of Banca Albertini warned that the European Central Bank must become the lender of last resort or Italy will face "massive devaluation, three to five years of hyperinflation, and unbearable unemployment."
Investors are concerned. Nas Redeker of Morgan Stanley has stated that the European Union's mishandling of the Greek sovereign debt crisis: "The irrevocability of the eurozone is a valuable asset, and they are throwing it away. Global investors are preparing for the day Greece leaves…We are looking at this number very closely." Redeker also noted that almost half of this is owed to foreigners, with Germany, Holland, Finland and Luxembourg looking at fleeing these wobbly nations.
Terrorists in Italy are also reflecting the rising frustration of Italians who increasingly view their political leaders as incapable of solving a crisis that pinches ordinary Italians more tightly each day. Italian banks are caught in the middle. Moody's on Monday downgraded 26 different Italian lending institutions, noting: "Banks are vulnerable to the renewed recession in Italy, given their already elevated levels of problem loans and weakened profitability." The Italian Banking Association struck back, accusing Moody's of being "… irresponsible, incomprehensible, and unjustifiable. Moody's decision is an attack on Italy, its companies, its families and its citizens."
Ominously, the IBA also called on the European Union to clamp down on rating agencies (although such private firms sell information and advice and have little interest to providing a bad product.)
In Britain, David Cameron has defended his comments about the break up of the euro. His remarks came right before a conference with besieged Chancellor Merkel in Germany and incoming Socialist President Hollande of France. Cameron said that it was "… more dangerous to say silent than to speak out." What Cameron had said Wednesday, during Prime Minister Questions in the House of Commons, was that the eurozone "either has to make up or it is looking at a potential break-up."
With the British Prime Minister speaking so bluntly and with Chancellor Merkel, governing by far the largest economy in the eurozone facing such strong and growing opposition, it is hard to see how the default of Greece and then, like dominos, several other nations like Spain and Portugal, will follow. If Italy is forced into even a partial default, the game has grown much bigger. The banks of other nations, particularly France, hold significant amounts of Italian government debt. At the very least, many of the major banks in currently "safe" parts of Europe will have to restrict their lending if the crisis grows worse, which will affect many otherwise healthy businesses in other parts of Europe. The light at the end of the tunnel, if there is any, seems very faint indeed today.

Zul'Farrak is a Sandfury troll village[1] located in northwestern Tanaris. Remember to pack your sunscreen and get ready for a battle royale with the Sandfury trolls. The level range is 44-54 after patch 4.0.3a. Before the patch, it was 42-46.
History Edit
From World Dungeons on the old WoW site:
Troll legends tell of a powerful sword called Sul'thraze the Lasher, a weapon capable of instilling fear and weakness in even the most formidable of foes. Long ago, the weapon was split in half. However, rumors have circulated that the two halves may be found somewhere within Zul'Farrak's walls. Reports have also suggested that a band of mercenaries fleeing Gadgetzan wandered into the city and became trapped. Their fate remains unknown. But perhaps most disturbing of all are the hushed whispers of an ancient creature sleeping within a sacred pool at the city's heart - a mighty demigod who will wreak untold destruction upon any adventurer foolish enough to awaken him.

Preparation for Zul'Farrak Edit
- Before patch 3.0.8, one group member in possession of Mallet of Zul'Farrak was needed to summon Gahz'rilla. Now he can be summoned by simply clicking the summoning gong at the end of his pool.
As recorded on Ancient Tablet:
- The Mallet of Zul'Farrak
- To create the Mallet of Zul'Farrak, one must first travel to the Altar of Zul and obtain the sacred mallet from a troll Keeper
- Next, one must bring the sacred mallet to the altar atop of the troll city of Jintha'alor
- Using the sacred mallet at the altar will infuse it with power, and transform it into the Mallet of Zul'Farrak
Sacred Mallet is a Static drop from Qiaga the Keeper atop the Altar of Zul. Use the Sacred Mallet at the altar atop Jintha'Alor to create the Mallet of Zul'Farrak.
Tactical overview Edit
Zul'Farrak is a big circle, so the end boss can be done before most of the mini-bosses. Chief Ukorz Sandscalp can only be reached after defeating Nekrum at the end of the Pyramid Battle. Talking to the goblin before Sergeant Bly, therefore, most parties classify him as the "End Boss". Gahz'rilla can be done before or after the Pyramid Battle/Sergeant Bly/Chief Ukorz Sandscalp, so in some sense, he can also be the "End Boss". Nevertheless, it's a technical thing. Zul'Farrak is one of the first instances you may use your mount in, due to it being an outdoor instance.
Note: After the Pyramid battle, if you talk to the goblin before you talk to Sergeant Bly, then there is a timer that begins (approximately 2 minutes). If you do not talk to Sergeant Bly before that timer runs out, Sergeant Bly (and party) will hearth out of the instance preventing the completion of Divino-matic Rod quest. But if you speak with Bly just before the hearthstone is over, the other NPC will hearth out but Bly will stay in. This is useful if your group is not strong, because you can fight Bly on his own. That way you can complete your rod quest an easy way.
Group and level guidance Edit
- Player limit: 5
A good group composition would require a tank, an adept healer and an AOE, mage being the best class, due to their large range of AOE attacks. AOE is essential for certain boss fights and non-elite trash mobs, unless you want to clear individual mobs. This instance can be extremely tough in places, depending on player level, and careful pulling is of critical importance. It is far too easy here, when attempting to pull one mob, to accidentally pull more, and for the group to then wipe because they underestimate the mobs' strength. It is also extremely important to avoid opening too many of the graves inside the instance and unleashing all of the zombies at once, since doing so will quickly lead to the group being overrun.
The treasure available here is of good quality, with a large array of green items and a decent drop rate of silver and cloth, as well as some leather from the basilisks which accompany the trolls in certain places.
While multiple Hunters and pets can serve as a makeshift replacement for a Warrior in a group if a Warrior is unavailable, this strategy is likely to cause wipes and is to be avoided if at all possible. That being said, Feral Druids and Paladins are fully capable of tanking the instance.
The instance is almost completely outside, allowing for the use of mounts.
This instance is one of the last major ones that players will experience before the Blackrock Mountain complex and the commencement of serious raiding. As such, also given the level of difficulty, it provides an excellent environment for players to develop the group co-ordination skills and depth of familiarity with their characters that they will need before moving on to such places. If you think you're good at running an instance group, ZF will provide you with an opportunity to discover whether or not that perception is accurate.
Loot Edit
See Zul'Farrak loot.
High-level runs Edit
Zul'Farrak should be treated with respect even by higher level players. Due to runners, even level 70 players can find themselves overwhelmed as dozens of mobs swarm onto them. It is, however, easily soloable at level 80, especially by players with area-effect attacks.

SKF sealing washers
SKF sealing washers of the Z type form efficient labyrinth seals which can be used in a wide variety of applications. They provide inexpensive solutions to many sealing problems. Their use is recommended in the first instance for simple bearing arrangements subjected to arduous operating conditions. The efficiency of the seal is influenced by the number and design of the washers incorporated. There are two types of sealing washer: the standard design (fig 1) and the flocked design (fig 2) which is intended for difficult operating conditions. Depending on the degree of contamination and the desired relubrication interval, up to four sets of sealing washers may be mounted immediately adjacent to each other. The sealing washers may also be combined with other standard seals.
When it is necessary to relubricate a bearing with sealing washers at both sides, the inclusion of a set of ZW spacing washers (fig 3) enables a free passage for the fresh grease to be achieved. A set of ZW spacing washers consists of one washer to be mounted in the housing bore and one to be mounted on the shaft.

I'll bet I know the quickest way to get that hive out of there.
I'll bet I know the quickest way to get that hive out of there.
We get one life. I'm using all of mine.
Here's what I use. It's got the real stuff, nasanov, in it.
http://greatlakesipm.com/pollination.html by the quart, it's cheaper than lemongrass oil.
Also, older/used/previously successful swarm traps with propolis helps a lot as well. Search the forums and many will suggest old black comb.

>It's got the real stuff, nasanov, in it.
I'm quite certain they did not collect it from bees, therefore it does not have the "real stuff". I'd be willing to bet the main ingredient, if not the only ingredient, is Lemongrass essential oil. I have tried the commercial lures. They did not work any better than Lemongrass essential oil. Come to think of it, I have some of this, actually, that I bought for someone to get fruit trees pollinated, but never opened it. i should try it for swarm lure.

" Bee-Scent is a non-toxic liquid formula that attracts foraging honey bees to treated blossoms improving crop pollination and resulting in additional fruit set and better fruit quality. Monitoring tests show the number of foraging bees increased 28-75 percent after Bee-Scent application. Apply 2 qts/acre in early morning for best results. 2 1/2 gallon will treat 5 acres, while the 16 oz. bottle will treat 1/4 acres. Once applied, Bee-Scent will remain active for three to five days under favorable weather conditions. "
I am not looking for foragers, I have foragers. I want scouts. pretty sure scouts and foragers are looking fir different things.
My guess is they have sugar for the foragers, I dont want ants or other bugs in my swarm traps.
"Bee-Scent will remain active for three to five days" That's not very long
It could be nothing more the a few pounds of sugar and a few drops of LG EO
I just wondered about keeping the smell of LGO in the traps. It seems to fade pretty fast. It could be that the bees can smell it long after it seems to me that it's gone, but I wondered how some of you might be doing it.
From the responses, it seems to be a non-issue.
What is "Queen Juice"?
Can you just use the entrance from a regular 8 frame nuc (like tape a bottom to it) or do you have to make a larger or different entrance for a swarm trap? Or cover some of it so it is smaller?
[QUOTE=Michael Bush;751973]If I could just find a glass eye dropper wal mart has them
Someone asked about Queen Juice...an unsavoury but useful product produced by taking euthanized queen bees and preserving them in food grade alcohol ie Everclear or vodka. The liquid preserves and suspends the queen pheromones (using fertilized queens is best) and you can use the resulting "Queen Juice" to bait hives.
I have a couple of areas that are real swarmy from feral colonies. I'm going to try the 5 frame and 10 frame traps and see which one they prefer.
Sounds like a real good experiment.
Closing in on retirement.......
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Prvb 16:24
March 2010; +/- 50 hives, TF
Seeley reports a bee preference of 15' for the entrance....Anyone put bait hives up that high?
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
I have caught many a swarm on a 40' rooftop. I've also caught them 18" off the ground.
My opinions are based on whatever OD Frank says because he thinks he knows everything!
I catch many a year set at reachable heights. But at my home last year, I caught more than usual on my second story deck.
>Shoot, so the queen I tossed into rubbing alcohol today will not make Queen Juice? Did I just waste the opportunity to recyle a queen?
I use rubbing alcohol. It will work fine.

USDA Offers Temporary Adjustment for School Lunch Program Limits on Meat and GrainTuesday, December 18, 2012
(American Meat Institute)
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced additional flexibility to assess the compliance with the standards of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, citing the operational challenges relating to the limits placed on grains, meat and meat alternatives.
Schools with multiple menu offerings, the limited availability of varying serving sizes from suppliers and the variation in maximum limits by age or grade level were all contributing factors to the challenges faced by many School Food Authorities (SFA) in meeting the new standards. As a result, schools were limiting popular menu items, such as hamburgers and chicken breast.
For the rest of the 2012-13 school year, schools will not have to limit the meat, meat alternatives or grains that they serve students.
However, the overall calorie limit on school lunches, 650 – 850 calories depending on age, and the daily and weekly minimum requirements for grains and meat/meat alternatives will remain.
This temporary measure extends until the end of the 2012-2013 school year, at which time USDA will review feedback and data to determine whether other adjustments need to made moving forward.
The announcement is available here.share on facebook share on twitter

Low Life: Lures and Snares of Old New York
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 8 mar. 2016 - 464 pagini
Luc Sante's Low Life is a portrait of America's greatest city, the riotous and anarchic breeding ground of modernity. This is not the familiar saga of mansions, avenues, and robber barons, but the messy, turbulent, often murderous story of the city's slums; the teeming streets--scene of innumerable cons and crimes whose cramped and overcrowded housing is still a prominent feature of the cityscape.
Low Life voyages through Manhattan from four different directions. Part One examines the actual topography of Manhattan from 1840 to 1919; Part Two, the era's opportunities for vice and entertainment--theaters and saloons, opium and cocaine dens, gambling and prostitution; Part Three investigates the forces of law and order which did and didn't work to contain the illegalities; Part Four counterposes the city's tides of revolt and idealism against the city as it actually was.
Low Life provides an arresting and entertaining view of what New York was actually like in its salad days. But it's more than simpy a book about New York. It's one of the most provocative books about urban life ever written--an evocation of the mythology of the quintessential modern metropolis, which has much to say not only about New York's past but about the present and future of all cities.
