Found nestled amongst 18 acres of scenically landscaped gardens and next to a towering acorn tree is The Grange Hotel, otherwise known as the Mercure Bristol North.
Formerly a stone manor house, The Grange Hotel dates back to the 19th century and is rich with history as well as beauty. Within its walls rests the Conservatory Bar, a relaxed lounge adorned with splashes of soothing green against calming cream, which features a splendid menu specially made for informal dining.
Ideal over a few drinks, thus befitting the setting, are the sharing platters, which come with a generous spread of delicious flavours. Smaller choices include a mixture of marinated olives as well as a pile of cheese covered nachos, while the larger platters involve scrumptious selections from antipasti style nibbles like prosciutto ham, Milano salami and grana Padano cheese.
For those of ravenous hunger there are some substantial meals available, with refreshingly light options like the Superfood Salad, tossed with pumpkin and sunflower seeds and drizzled with a lemon dressing, and deliciously hearty meals like the seared sea bream fillet, complete with vegetable ribbons and coriander salsa.
Carnivorous diners will also appreciate the many grilled delights, including several succulent steaks, all dry aged for at a minimum of 28 days, and stacked burgers, with available toppings like blue cheese, crispy bacon and barbecue relish.
Located a short drive away from the Bristol Parkway train station and the M4 and M5, access to The Grange Hotel is easy, and being close to Bristol means it's a perfect choice for a quick getaway from the hectic city life.
Please Note: The tastecard discount is not available on Bank Holidays or Celebration Days including, but not limited to, Valentine's Day, Father's Day, Mothering Sunday, Christmas eve and Christmas day.

O.C.-based iPad restaurant touted as pioneer
Stacked could have easily failed for being "ahead of its time" when it launched its cutting edge iPad ordering system last year in Southern California.
From start to finish, the iPad's touch-screen technology allows customers to control their dining experience -- from delivery of the first drink to type of burger toppings to timing of the check. While servers can help input orders, Stacked's goal is to put the diner in the driver's seat
"We weren't sure if the public was going to appreciate it. It was scary," said co-founder Paul Motenko, who helped build Huntington Beach's BJ's Restaurants into a national brand.
A year later, Stacked's future seems less risky.
The Newport Beach-based company now operates restaurants in Torrance, Cerritos and San Diego. It serves a menu of customizable American comfort foods -- burgers, pizzas and salads. Stacked expects to grow to 50 units in the next five years.
Last month, the National Restaurant Association honored Stacked at its annual Chicago food show for pioneering what is being touted as the industry's first successful iPad ordering system. Though the technology is still in its infancy, Motenko believes Stacked is setting the bar for the future.
"The wave is starting to follow us," he said of copycat systems. "It's nice to be the first, and by far, the best."
During a recent interview, Motenko talked about Stacked's appeal, rivals and why he has yet to build a Stacked in Orange County.
Q: You don't want to be known just as an iPad eatery. Explain.
A: To us, it was always about the food. The biggest reason people enjoy Stacked is the ability to customize. You get what you want, and pay for exactly what you get. And, we happen to use technology to enable guests to do that.
Q: Are you finding that kids are doing all the ordering when it comes to families? (Note: Everyone at the table gets a menu so you can decide what you want before placing your order from a single iPad on the table. If there's more than five in a group, you get an extra iPad.)
A: It depends. Younger people are certainly taking to it more intuitively. But the first week we opened in Torrance, an elderly couple came in. He had a walker. She had a cane. We were on full alert to make sure they knew how to do it. They shooed our server away (when she tried to help) and they did it and loved it. That night, they came back with their family.
Q: So, your core customers are those willing to adapt to get a great food experience?
A: Yes. It's not an age thing as much as a personality thing. It's not about being smart about technology. It's about taking their dining experience into their own hands.
Q: Besides the tableside iPad ordering, what else is unique about Stacked?
A: Pre-ordering. You can order in advance online. When you get to the restaurant, you have a preorder code. You input it into the iPad and your entire order pops up. Everyone has preordered within 15 seconds. You can't do that at a regular restaurant – sit down and immediately send your order to the kitchen. You can also process your payment before you get your food.
Ingredient-centric pricing. If you order a signature item, and you take off an ingredient, you pay less. You pay for exactly what you get and that's unheard of in the restaurant business.
Q: What was one big worry going in?
A: We were concerned, at first, that people would create things they don't like. It just hasn't happened. People really know what they like.
Q: You say you plan to grow to 50 units within five years. What about Orange County?
A: We're desperate for Orange County.
Q: What's the hold up?
A: Finding the right locations. We want prime locations and it's been a challenge to find the right spot and the right size in Orange County. But we are passionately focused on having one in Orange County as soon as possible.
Q: It's hard to pigeon hole your concept into a certain category. It feels like a mix between fast-casual and premium casual dining. What do you call yourself?
A: We think of ourselves as full service, but if you want, you can control the experience such that it can be a fast-causal experience because of the speed.
Q: What kinds of tweaks have you made since opening the first restaurant?
A: We enhanced the (physical) menu. It has more pictures and highlights of signature specials. One thing that people don't realize (about Stacked) is the quality of the food.
Q: Any other misconceptions?
A: A misconception about Stacked is that iPads are replacing people. That's quite the contrary. We have a very full staff. The guest still controls the order, but in terms of personal attention our staff takes about the same sections as a traditional restaurant.
Q: Beyond the customization, what do diners like most about Stacked?
A: The (ability to) split checks. You can literally drag and drop each item to whichever check you want.
Q: Looking ahead about 5 to 10 years in future, do you see more restaurants adopting similar tablet systems?
A: Yes, judging from the number of restaurateurs we see in our restaurants every day. But, I caution people: whatever you do, it has to benefit the guest. There has to be a purpose for it. The purpose at Stacked is customization. If the only purpose is to save labor costs or to say, 'We have iPads' -- that's not good enough.

It really was warm while you where here. Seriously! It was 57 but add
that wind factor and it was like 45. Right now it is 5 and going down to
2 overnight... add the windchill and we will be around minus 20. Now
that is cold!
Last month had alot of cold weather, so my heating bill was 212. The
month before was 103. Not really all that much in comparson. We have
3400 sq ft according to my husband, but he is counting the basement or
something... cause this isn't a large house.
Those holes are called 'potholes' and yes, this year due to the
cold/warm/wet cycle we are in are worse than normal. They actually have
claim forms to send in for repairing your car reinbursement.
I hope you do come out some summer. There is plenty to see/do along lake
shore drive area....but then it is construction season... to fix all
those potholes.
Glad you survived the trip!

Hey folks
I am back from Chicago and we had a great time. Boy, is it cold there.
OMG! Donna I don't know where you were feeling 50's but it wasn't in
Waukegan that's for sure. One negative note: Those are the worst roads I
have ever seen. Is that because of frost heave? I have never seen such a
torn up road and to think your governor is thinking of a health care
plan. Maybe you have to have one from the whiplash you get when you fall
into one of those holes.
I really like Chicago. I would like to see it with some leaves on trees
one day but from what I did see of it I would love to explore the area.
The Lake Rd. is beautiful. We went to the Science and Tech Museum and
what a tremendous museum. I can tell you we don't have anything like it
here. Truly magnificent. Also found perhaps one of the best Italian
restaurants I have ever eaten in. Also a great steak house that was
reasonably priced in Gurnee.
We only went into Chicago twice because it was an hour drive from where
we were staying and my son had to be back at certain times or they shoot
him from a cannon or something so we didn't want to chance it.
Here's a question: How in the world do you people afford to heat your
homes? Here with just my wife and I our combined electricity and gas
bill is $350 per month most of that is for lights etc not gas. We use a
gas fireplace for heat when watching tv. but I can't imagine what you
have to do when the temps are in the 20's and teens like all the time.
Lastly, I was sorry to hear about those poor kids at that school not
that far from where we were staying. I just wish the shooters would
spare the middle man and shoot themselves first and then go for the
innocent victims.

WEAVER — No matter how much progress his city makes, Weaver Mayor Wayne Willis said the first thing most people see when they come into town is a run-down, boarded-up building.
"That's a like a stake in the heart," Willis said. "The perception you have when you see that is Weaver is dying."
For seven years city officials haven't been able to do much with the former Victory Gas Station on the corner of Jacksonville and Main streets, at the heart of Weaver's small downtown. Since taking office in 2013, Willis has overseen a mini-revitalization of the area, including establishment of a new grocery store, repaving parts of Jacksonville Street and securing money for a new sidewalk project.
Still, Victory stands empty.
Mike Howard, Weaver's building inspector, said there's no reason the city can't entice a new business to the spot. Although the outside of Victory has boarded-up windows and peeling, faded paint, the structure itself is in good shape.
"It's got good bones," Howard said. "It just needs new clothes."
Although finding a new business to take over Victory wasn't part of his plans when he took office, Willis said the project has become his new priority. The problem with the property, though, has nothing to do with location or the shape of the building. It's a problem with ownership.
Willis said that for years, Mapco, the building's owner, was unwilling to budge on price, but more importantly, the purpose of the facility. Part of the stipulation of buying the building was the new owner had to sign a five-year contract to continue to get fuel from Mapco, meaning the building could essentially only be used as a filling station.
"That handcuffed any business that wasn't a convenience store," Willis said. "If a yarn shop moved in, they would have no use for gas, so there was no point of it."
But after seven years, Willis said he thinks Mapco has softened its stance and is willing to work out a deal with prospective buyers. Willis said no price has been negotiated for the building, but he believes the company would be willing to sell for less than market value.
"I think they would entertain any reasonable offer," the mayor said.
Attempts on Wednesday to reach Todd Simpson, the sales and operating manager for Mapco, were unsuccessful.
Willis said buying the building isn't an option for Weaver, but the city has been working with the East Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission on possible grants that could help make the property more attractive for business. Robin Caler, a principal planner with the commission, had initially proposed the city apply for a federal brownfield grant, which could assess whether the property was contaminated because of gas, and then provide money to clean it up. Willis said, however, the property had contamination, and such a grant couldn't be used to buy the property.
Caler said the city still has other options for economic development grants, but it needs a more concrete plan to move forward.
"Without knowing what they want to do or their vision it's hard to say," Caler said. "It needs more of a plan."
Depending on what kind of business is interested in setting up shop, the costs of remodeling work shouldn't amount to a whole lot of money, Howard said while showing off the inside of the building. Other than a spot on the floor where some tile had come up, the gas station looks like it could be restocked tomorrow. But Willis said he's not interested in bringing in any business that would compete with neighbors in downtown Weaver, including the Bearcat Express gas station right across the street. Jeff Christopher, a manager at the convenience store, declined to talk a reporter Wednesday, but Willis said he's in communication with all the local businesses to make sure he's not stepping on anyone's toes.
"I think they're interested in seeing this place open, but they're also mindful of what I'm doing too," Willis said Wednesday about other businesses in the area. "But I'm not going to open up a Family Dollar when we have a Dollar General right down the street. Weaver's not big enough for that."
Willis said he couldn't name any companies he's talked with about buying the building, but said interested businesses included a company that makes police uniforms, a produce shop and an e-cigarette vendor.
Willis said any interested business should contact Weaver City Hall at 256-820-1121.

Lord of the Flies is a 1990 American survival Drama film directed by Harry Hook and starring Balthazar Getty, Chris Furrh, Danuel Pipoly and James Badge Dale. It was produced by Lewis M. Allen and written by Sarah Schiff and is based on the 1954 book, Lord of the Flies by William Golding. It is the second film adaptation of the book, after Lord of the Flies (1963).
The film differs in many ways from both its predecessor film and the novel. Lord of the Flies centers on Ralph mainly, as the children try to initiate a society after crash-landing on an uncharted island, but things go awry.
The film was released on March 16, 1990 by Columbia Pictures, with film rights now belonging to Metro-Goldwyn Mayer. Upon and since its release, the film has received mixed reviews, generally more negative than its 1963 counterpart. Most critics praise the film's scenery but center upon the film's deviations from the novel as a central flaw. However, the movie garnered $14 million from the box office, and has acquired a cult following.
An aircraft carrying 24 young military school cadets returning home crash lands into the sea near a remote, uninhabited, jungle island in the Pacific Ocean. Captain Benson (Michael Greene), the only adult survivor, is seriously injured and delirious. All of the survivors arrive on the island. During the night, Simon, the most independent cadet, finds a river and notifies the other boys, to which they all drink out of it and explore the island afterwards. Meanwhile, on the beach, an overweight cadet nicknamed "Piggy" (whose real name is never revealed during the story) finds a conch seashell and takes it to the grouped cadets, who adopt it to signal the right to speak and be heard by the group. The senior cadet, and one of the elder boys, Cadet Colonel Ralph, organizes a meeting to discuss surviving their predicament. Ralph and another of the older boys, Jack, emerge dominant, and an impromptu election is held to determine an official leader for the group. Ralph is declared the winner. They start a fire using Piggy's glasses to try and alert any passing craft. Tensions begin to grow between Ralph and Jack.
One night, as they sleep, the delusional Captain Benson escapes from them into the jungle, eventually making his way to a cave deep inland. Jack brings all of his hunters to hunt in the jungle, leaving no one watching the fire. The fire goes out, preventing a passing helicopter from noticing them. Ralph blames Jack for failing to keep it going. Jack, tired of listening to Ralph and Piggy, leaves and forms his own camp, taking many of the boys with him. One of the younger boys, Larry, finds Captain Benson in the cave, mistakes him for a monster and stabs him, and then tells the other boys. Jack goes to the cave's entrance, and mistakes Captain Benson's dying groans for the sounds of a monster. Meanwhile, expecting to be rescued, Ralph's civilized leadership establishes a permanent signal-fire to alert passing ships of their presence on the island. Not expecting to be rescued, Jack's savage leadership adapts to circumstance; he establishes his camp as spear-bearing hunters who provide meat to both camps. They kill a Wild pig and leave its head as an offering to the "monster" that they believe is in the cave. Eventually, identical twins Sam and Eric (Andrew Taft and Edward Taft), two of Ralph's friends, leave him to join Jack's tribe, leaving Ralph with only Piggy and Simon left.
During the night, Jack and his savages steal a knife from Ralph so they can make more spears, but accidentally trample on Piggy's glasses in the process, breaking one lens.
One night, Simon finds the pig's head on the stick. He then uses a torch and explores the cave and discovers the corpse of Capt. Benson. Simon realizes Capt. Benson was what the boys thought was the monster, and runs to the beach in an attempt to alert the boys of his discovery. In the ensuing hysteria, Simon's waving of the torch frightens the other boys, who mistake him for the monster and stab him to death with their spears. The following morning, Ralph blames himself and Piggy for not stopping the hunters from killing Simon. Meanwhile, Jack tells his gang that the "monster" can come in any different form.
After Piggy's glasses are stolen by Jack's savages one night so they could make fire, Piggy and Ralph travel to Jack's camp, attempting to call a meeting using the conch. Piggy insists that everyone be sensible and work together, but Jack's savages refuse to listen. As Piggy speaks, Roger (Gary Rule), the cruel torturer in Jack's tribe, pushes a boulder off a cliff and smashes Piggy's head, killing him. A distraught Ralph swears that Jack will not get away with the murders, but Jack declares that Ralph is now on his own. Jack and his savages throw stones at Ralph to drive him away. Ralph secretly returns in the night to visit Sam and Eric, who warn Ralph that the hunters will chase after him.
The following morning, Jack and his hunters begin setting the jungle on fire to force Ralph out of hiding and kill him. Just barely dodging the spreading fire and Jack's hunters, Ralph makes a desperate run to the sea. He trips and falls onto the beach, where he encounters a U.S. Marine Corps officer pilot who has just landed on the island with other Marines to rescue the boys after having seen the fire that engulfed much of the island. As the pilot looks on with shame of how feral and savage the boys have become, Ralph bursts into tears, much to the shock of the confused Jack and his stunned followers.
- Balthazar Getty as Ralph: the main protagonist and leader of the boys who work on getting rescued and trying to maintain order
- Chris Furrh as Jack: the main antagonist and the leader of the hunters
- Danuel Pipoly as Piggy: an intelligent and overweight boy, the object of ridicule, and the most loyal boy to Ralph
- James Badge Dale as Simon: a rather reclusive boy (credited as Badgett Dale)
- Andrew Taft as Sam: identical twin
- Edward Taft as Eric: identical twin
- Gary Rule as Roger: the secondary antagonist and the second-in-command to Jack
- Michael Greene as Captain Benson
- Bob Peck as U.S. Marine Corps Officer
- Ethan Warwick as The Beastie
The film was released theatrically on March 16, 1990 in the United States by Columbia Pictures.
Critical reaction[edit]
Lord of the Flies received mixed reviews from critics, with most panning its liking towards the book itself, providing mixed assessments of the performances of the various actors, and praising its scenery. As of April 2016, the film has a rating of 63% "Fresh" on the movie review site Rotten Tomatoes.[3]
Most heavily criticized was the way in which the filmmakers departed from the novel. For example, Richard Alleva of Crisis Magazine criticized the portrayal of the first assembly on the island, a crucial moment in the book, as "anti-climactic" in the film. He lamented the fact that the conversation that Simon imagines taking place between himself and the pig, or the "Lord of the Flies", yet another of the book's most pivotal moments, was in the movie reduced to only a few moments of Simon staring at the pig. Alleva also criticized what he saw as misrepresentations of Ralph and Jack, believing that the movie downplayed Ralph's imperfections as presented in the book and amplified those of Jack. He said that "In this film, the good boys are too good; the bad boys too quickly bad, and bad in the wrong way."[4]
Some have claimed that the novel in general is somewhat dated and unsuitable for a remake. Roger Ebert remarked in his review that "events take place every day on our mean streets that are more horrifying than anything the little monsters do to one another on Golding's island."[5]
PopMatters journalist J.C. Maçek III wrote "The lessons and allusions of the novel and first adaptation feel heavy-handed and far too obvious in this remake. In short, while the 1963 film, in its black and white darkness, brings the viewer into the film with depth and shock, the 1990 movie is the experience of watching actors reciting lines and making a movie.[6]
Barrie Maxwell of DVD Verdict commented that the color of the island creates a more superficial atmosphere than the stark black and white of the previous version.[7]
Janet Maslin of the New York Times wrote the following in a 1990 review:
As directed by Harry Hook, the new "Lord of the Flies" offers much spectacle for the eye and almost nothing to keep the mind from wandering. Mr. Hook and the cinematographer Martin Fuhrer may be able to work orange flames, turquoise ocean and lush tropical foliage into a single pretty (if nonsensical) frame. But they can't get a toehold onto what Mr. Golding called his "attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature."[8]

Uranium Mining - A Risky Experiment
Latest News
SELC defending Virginia uranium mining ban against repeated industry attacks More »
As Virginia Uranium, Inc. continues refusing to take no for an answer, SELC and our partners, the Dan River Basin Association and the Roanoke River Basin Association, remain engaged in protecting Virginia's ban on uranium mining.
The company, which hoped to mine a uranium deposit north of Danville, has been rebuffed at every turn since they first attempted to bring risky mining practices to the area in 2007. This, despite a uranium mining ban in place since 1982. Nonetheless, the company persists, making more outrageous claims as they go. Already SELC and our allies succeeded in blocking attempts by Virginia Uranium, Inc. (VUI) to pass legislation to lift the state freeze on uranium mining. Now the company is challenging the ban with state and federal lawsuits.
The case moving through state courts examines the question of whether, by banning uranium mining, the state unconstitutionally took away the value of VUI's property. The parent company, Canadian-based Virginia Energy Resources, implausibly argued, in part, that it should be compensated for potential revenue lost through a mining ban that was in place long before the company formed. SELC filed a "friend of the court" brief in the case, supporting the Commonwealth's motion to dismiss the lawsuit. Accordingly, the court in Wise County has already dismissed any claims for compensation, and the only issue still pending is whether the court will order state agencies to accept and process uranium mining permit applications.
Not long ago, SELC also filed a "friend of the court" brief in VUI's federal case, laying out in detail how the company's tortured reading of the Atomic Energy Act would radically expand its scope and force not only Virginia but all states to allow uranium mining. The brief also pointed out that the company's claims were contrary to its own past public statements, which acknowledge that there are no federal laws or regulations covering conventional uranium mining on private lands and that this is an area of exclusive state control. In December, the federal district court agreed with us, dismissing VUI's motion, and the company has since appealed. SELC has also filed a "friend of the court" brief in the appellate litigation.
Keep the Ban on Uranium Mining in Virginia
In 2007, Virginia Uranium, Inc. went public with plans to exploit a major uranium deposit in Pittsylvania County, in southern Virginia. The operation would entail extensive mining, a milling facility, and disposal of massive amounts of waste that would leave a toxic and radioactive legacy for centuries.
The deposit at the Coles Hill farm was discovered years ago, but in 1982, the Virginia legislature enacted a statewide ban on uranium mining that still exists today. The industry failed to secure the support it needed to introduce legislation to repeal the ban in the 2012 General Assembly, but it mounted an intensive lobbying effort and introduced legislation in 2013. After a groundswell of opposition from local governments and business, health, and environmental groups, the legislation was pulled due to lack of support.
SELC is at the forefront of a statewide citizen effort, the Keep the Ban Coalition, to ensure the ban stays in place.
Uranium Mining: A Dangerous Proposal
Uranium occurs naturally in the ground, but when exposed to air and water, radiation is released into the environment. There is no precedent for large-scale uranium mining in the East, where the population density and a wet climate increase the chance of radiation contaminating streams and groundwater and exposure to humans.
In the last century, the Commonwealth has been hit by at least 78 category-strength hurricanes, including Hurricane Camille in 1969, which dumped 31 inches of rain on central Virginia. In 2011, at least 37 tornadoes were recorded in Virginia, including one in Halifax County about 20 miles from the Coles Hill site. And in August, 2011, an earthquake of 5.8 magnitude rocked Virginia; its epicenter was just 125 miles from Coles Hill.
Virginia has no regulations for uranium mining, and, with less than 1% of the state's general fund revenues dedicated to environmental programs, is ill-prepared to sufficiently oversee the industry. The federal government has virtually no experience regulating uranium mining in a wet climate.
The only peer‐reviewed study of the issue, conducted by the National Academy of Sciences, validates many of our concerns, including risks to water quality from radioactive tailings, and the fact that current federal regulations are inadequate to protect public health and the environment from potential impacts of uranium mining in Virginia. The National Academy's work provides clear, objective evidence that the state's ban on uranium mining should not be lifted.
High Health and Economic Risks
The potential health impacts of exposure to uranium and mining chemicals are well-documented in global studies of people working in and living near mines, and include lung cancer, bone cancer, leukemia, birth defects, weakened immune systems, hormone disruption, and damage to DNA, the kidneys and the liver.
Virginia Beach, which gets its drinking water from Lake Gaston, downstream of the Coles Hill site, released a study concluding that a catastrophic failure of a uranium waste containment structure at the site could contaminate the city's drinking water for as long as two years.
Establishment of a uranium industry in southern Virginia would strangle efforts to diversify the region's economy and threaten existing businesses--including agriculture, tourism, and recreational fisheries. As one study showed, the costs to Virginia in a worst-case disaster are almost double the benefits of the best-case economic scenario.
One of America's Most Endangered Rivers
The potential for mining uranium exists throughout the state; in the early 1980s, the industry leased hundreds of properties in Culpeper, Fauquier, Henry, Madison, Orange, Patrick, and Pittsylvania counties.
But the focus now is on the Coles Hill site Pittsylvania County, located in the heart of the Roanoke River watershed. In May 2011, American Rivers named the Roanoke one of the 10 most endangered rivers due to the threat of uranium mining.
SELC continues to work with the Keep the Ban Coalition and others to educate Virginia citizens and lawmakers about the dangers of uranium mining and to press the state to keep the ban.
Ad Campaign
SELC and its Keep the Ban coalition partners ran ads in the Danville Register & Bee and Chatham Star-Tribune extolling the environmental and economic assets of Southern Virginia that could be compromised should the current ban on uranium mining in Virginia be lifted. These ads feature the region's strong tourism, recreation, and agriculture that would be threatened by uranium mining. In addition, over 60 governments, businesses, and organizations have passed resolutions to support continuation of the ban.

>What I want to find out is what concentration one needs of fresh BAP
>to induce lateral bud growth.
>1000 parts per million just seems way too high.
Although 1000 ppm may seem high, you must remember you are applying it
externally. Chemicals that work in tissue culture generally need to
be applied at much higher concentrations when applied to the whole
plant. I've tried 10,000 ppm and didn't have any damage to the
plants, although other people have reported some leaf damage. If you
want to use a lower concentration you may be able to get some results
if you can treat the plants for a longer period of time. For example,
you could take small hostas as the leaves emerge, put the foliage into
a container and let them soak in a lower concentration of BAP for
24-48 hours. I haven't tried this approach as it's more work then I
care to do.
>Another concern I have is that one does not need to make many litters
>- there is no reason as you stated to treat ever Hosta in the state.
BAP-10 is stable, so it will store for a long time. It's easy to mix
up in small quantities. I use a 3 ml syringe to measure out 1 ml of
BAP-10 and then dilute that to about 30 ml. If I have any of the
working solution left over I stick it in the freezer.
>So my main motivation is cost, I want to reduce the concentration
>and have less of the material on hand.
You can go in with a few other people and buy a liter and then split
it up. For a commerical nursery the cost of $165 a liter isn't
unreasonable considering what chemicals cost today. Still, I'm amazed
that BAP is as expensive as it is since it is a relatively simple
chemical. Shouldn't be too difficult to synthesize.
>I just need to determine the best way to dissolve it. KOH or 95%
Go with the KOH if you want to keep it around for awhile. Make it a
10% solution and then dilute as you need it. If you have a good scale
you can measure out working quantities and disolve with DMSO and make
it up everytime you use it.

Bending Light
Novel physics research demonstrates self-bending light
Experimental results generated by Elad Greenfield
Maxwell accelerating beams. Experimental results (a) and theoretical simulation (b) exhibit very good agreement. Both beams bend along an exact circular trajectory reaching 90° bending.
Periodic accelerating beams of Maxwell's equations. (a) Experimental observation of the accelerating periodic beam that bends to 45° while exhibiting about 8 periods of a snake-like trajectory. (b) Simulated beam with the same parameters.
Research from the Faculty of Physics and Solid State Institute, recently published in the leading journal
Physical Review Letters
, literally sheds new light on an age-old theory. While light is known to travel in a straight line, scientists have asked whether light beams can, without any external intervention, bend themselves along a curved path. The Technion team presents a new family of accelerating beams and periodic accelerating beams which can do just that.
PhD student Ido Kaminer's research, as part of Distinguished Prof. Moti Segev's group, provides full solutions to the Maxwell equations - the 19th-century mathematical formulae that describe electromagnetism. "It's a lot of fun, I believe, to find new physics where it was thought that everything is already known," says 26-year-old Kaminer, a theoretical physicist who has worked with MSc student Rivka Bekenstein and visiting researcher Yoni Nemirovsky on the theory of this project, and with experimentalist PhD student Elad Greenfield. Kaminer adds that he finds lots of "beautiful physics" to explore in the field of accelerating beams - "an area of research that is accelerating in its own right."
"When we entered the field about two years ago," Kaminer explains, "accelerating beams were limited to small angles. Moti posed a question: 'Using these tools, can we find beams that bend all the way to 90 degrees?' I have honed special tools from a previous study to create this 'ultimate' self-bending beam to achieve such experimental results. Together with Rivka and Yoni, I have developed a technique with which we've solved other problems."
Kaminer accepted his mentor's challenge and took it to the extreme. "I found something quite illogical," he says, "I would shine a beam forward and it seemed to go full circle, lighting me from behind as it were." About one year later, and after taking an advanced course on Einstein's Theory of Relativity and also observing how light pulses behave in optic fibers, Kaminer felt better equipped to explain his counterintuitive results. "At almost 90 degrees the beam breaks up and the light experiences diffraction broadening. But up to that point, the beam is bending without any diffraction broadening, so we get a new family of non-diffracting beams. What we observed as the full circle was actually the interference of two beams launched from opposite sides, which is interesting in its own right."
Kaminer presented this breakthrough research at the premier international forum for scientific and technical optics, CLEO (Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics), in May 2012, and the work has attracted a great deal of attention in the scientific community, securing editorials and commentary in leading publications. The
Physical Review Letters
paper, which Kaminer and Segev coauthored with Bekenstein and Nemirovsky, was selected as the "Editor's Suggestion" and for "Viewpoints in Physics." Several commentary articles have been written about the paper, highlighting its importance, in the prestigious
New Scientist
An important implication of this study is that the underlying concepts are universal, and apply to very many physical systems. The bending of a light beam demonstrated here will occur also for other kinds of wave, such as acoustic and water waves.
Concurrent with this research but independently of it, a group of experimentalists in France led by John Dudley was able to demonstrate the first observation of light self-bending to fairly large angles, using a different method that gave an approximation of the beam found in the Technion. Using the solution found by Kaminer and his coworkers, that team quickly adjusted their launch beam and are now getting close to 90 degrees bending.
"I found something quite illogical…
I would shine a beam forward and it seemed to go full circle, lighting me from behind as it were."
In parallel, PhD student Elad Greenfield is now manipulating these high-angle bending beams for exciting applications in the biological arena. Interestingly, in principle - giving an initial tilt with a simple prism should allow bending to close to 180 degrees, almost like a boomerang. A perfect boomerang is not really accessible when the beam is launched from a single plane, but getting close to it is feasible.
Zhigang Chen, a physics professor at San Francisco State University, speculated that, "one might expect one day light could really travel around a circle by itself, bringing the search for an 'optical boomerang' into reality."
Applications of these ideas could include particle manipulations using the curved light; burning curved holes through materials; plasmonic surface waves with improved range; and atmospheric spectroscopy to detect chemical/biological agents.
As an undergraduate, Kaminer participated in the premier Technion programs for undergraduate students: the Technion's Excellence Program and the elite pre-military service Psagot Program (Physics-Electrical Engineering Dual Degree Program).

Submitted by Value Stock Guide as part of our contributors program
Vishay Intertechnology (VSH) designs, manufactures and sells passive electronic components and discrete semiconductors. The company has grown over the last 5 decades by pursuing a strategy of growth through acquisitions. The current valuation of the company shares may be attractive to a value investor looking to get an exposure in the semiconductor sector.
The Value Thesis for Vishay
- Can Shorter Wait Times Benefit An Ailing Chipotle Mexican Grill ?
- Here's Why Ford Is Investing In Argo AI
- What To Watch For In Priceline's Q4 2016 Earnings
- Here's How eBay Is Looking To Expand Into The Chinese Market
- CME's Trading Volumes Down In January, Expected To Rise With Oil And Metal Volatility
- Target Q4 Earnings Preview: Holiday Season Decline Likely To Drive Mixed Results
The company shares trade at a Price to Book ratio of 1.21 (using the share price of $12.65 as of Feb 1, 2012 closing). This number may not seem too tempting at the first glance. A part of the reason is the $1.73 B in goodwill impairment the company took in 2008 which cut its equity down in half. This is a problem I see with companies that try to grow with acquisitions. When the times are good, they inflate their balance sheets with intangibles and goodwill, that buffers the earnings. When the industry cycles down, as was the case in 2008, the previous years of "great earnings" are neutralized with an asset write down (impairment of the goodwill asset is a charge on the income statement)
The positive side of this is that Vishay has already taken the impairment charge so its financials are relatively clean now. In the last 4 quarters, the company has grown its book value from $1.49 B to $1.65 B, or about 10% in a little over a year.
It makes sense to judge the valuation based on the earnings, rather than the book, and we will take note of the following:
As of Feb 1, 2012, the company had
- Stock Price: $12.65
- Market Value: $1.99 B
- Cash on hand: $1.035 B (mrq, Sep 2011 quarter)
- Debt: $423 million
After adjusting for the $59.5 million in one time tax benefit Vishay took in the Dec 2012 quarter (or $0.31/share), the company earned $1.7/share in the trailing 12 months giving it a trailing P/E of 7.44. However, most of the $1.035 B in cash on its books is non essential and can be distributed to the shareholders without any material impact on the company's future operations (Vishay intends to use the cash for future acquisitions as part of its growth strategy). I adjusted the P/E calculation further by discounting the price by the distributable cash, which I estimate to be around $5.73/share. This leads us to a trailing P/E of 4.07. If the operations continue to generate 11% in net profit margin as they have averaged for the previous 5 quarters, than the stock can potentially find its true value to be around a (ex cash) P/E ratio of 9, which gives it a target price of $21/share. However, this is not a given as the historical profit margins are much closer to 5%-6% range, which reflects the competitive nature of the industry as well as the fact that the customers have greater buying power than the suppliers like Vishay due to their size and concentration.
There are Other Risks
Vishay's Class B shares control almost half the voting power (1 Class B share has 10 votes compared to 1 Class A shares with 1 vote). Since substantially all Class B shares are in private hands and not traded on the market, the possibility of Vishay being an acquisition target is remote. It is also difficult for an activist investor to get on the board and initiate changes to unlock the value. This can keep the share price depressed below its intrinsic value for a long period of time.
Vishay is also more susceptible to currency fluctuations and political events as over 70% of its production and revenues are overseas, with a significant presence in mid-east (Israel). It can work for or against the share price and introduces a level of uncertainty.
Bottom Line
While the value is there, whether you chose to buy the stock at the current prices will depend on your assessment of these external risks. If you do chose to initiate a position, it may be wise to keep it a small portion of your portfolio and increase your position if the gap between value and price increases.

Hakaze, princess of the Kusaribe mage clan, has been betrayed and marooned on an island by her own people. They seek to revive the Tree of Exodus, an incomprehensibly powerful entity of alien origin, to save the world from the tyranny of its antithesis: the Tree of Genesis that powers their magic. Hakaze, however, believes their efforts put humanity in jeopardy; and with her power limited, she can only reach out to the world to beg for aid. Her call reaches Mahiro Fuwa, a young man grieving the mysterious death of his sister, Aika. He and his friend Yoshino agree to help - on the condition that Hakaze track down Aika's killer with her magic. The deal is made, and the battle that will determine civilization's fate is begun: but who will play the part of its villain, and who its savior?

I really wanted to like this show, but ultimately I had to force myself to finish it. I felt that it started out strong enough, and, at least at the beginning, the characters seemed deep and interesting. In general, however, I found myself less and less interested as the series progressed. As a number of harsh critics have pointed out, Blast of Tempest fails to deliver a scenario, story, or world, where the... read more
Blast of Tempest was a show that left me wanting more. While it did conclude properly, I often feel that with most other anime I've watched, there should be at least an episode dedicated to the relationships built at the end of a series. Besides that Blast of Tempest had a compelling storyline. A fine mix of drama, romance and the supernatural, it appeals to a very wide audience. I felt drawn to the... read more

Tonight those players will need the clearest of heads as they take on Croatia Zagreb in the intimidating Maksimir stadium. It was not recent Balkan history which made the ground tingle when Zagreb defeated Partizan Belgrade in the last round, it was the tumult of passion for any major game. There may not always be the hatred present against Partizan, but Zagreb were still banned from Europe two seasons ago after crowd trouble in a tie against Auxerre.
The local mood has been further inflamed by the nature of Newcastle's first-leg win in this European Cup preliminary round tie - John Beresford's contested second goal, allowed after an illegal challenge on the goalkeeper by Faustino Asprilla, has been repeatedly shown on television.
That goal gave Newcastle a fortuitous 2-1 win after they were outplayed for long periods at St James' Park. They thus need a draw, or a high-scoring narrow defeat, to progress to the lucrative Champions'-and wealthy-countries'- runners-up League. Defeat carries the consolation prize of a place in the Uefa Cup.
"We have given ourselves a chance," Kenny Dalglish, the Newcastle manager, said yesterday. "They are a very good side, better than Monaco [who convincingly knocked Newcastle out of Europe last season]. But we are not a bad side ourselves - though to read what they are supposed to have said in the papers we are only going there to make up the numbers."
Dalglish was referring to reported comments from Zlatko Canjuga, Zagreb's club president, who said: "Newcastle will be frightened when they are confronted by our fans. We have no worries about this match at all. We will win 3-0 - as a team Newcastle are a bunch of losers."
Since this is just the stuff to pass around the dressing-room to provide that extra bit of motivation, Dalglish will be unworried by such comments. Stopping Robert Prosinecki, a 1991 European Cup winner with Red Star Belgrade, and Silvio Maric, who is destined for Milan, running the game as they did on Tyneside is more his concern.
Robert Lee and David Batty will be detailed to watch those two, while Newcastle's only major doubt is over whether to play Jon Dahl Tomasson behind Asprilla, or Keith Gillespie in a wide role, or Warren Barton in a defensive one.
The obvious temptation is to play Barton, but the pressure on the defence may find more relief if Asprilla, who is not the best at holding the ball, is supported by Tomasson. The Colombian remains a key figure as Newcastle need a goal - it is difficult to see them keeping a clean sheet.
Other strong performances are required from Stuart Pearce, whose experience will be important early on, and Shay Given, who has been signed for nights like this.
In front of him, the defence needs to keep a closer watch on a prolific Igor Cvitanovic, a former Middlesbrough target and the scorer of 99 league goals in six years plus Croatia's first leg strike.
Dalglish said: "I keep hearing they will bombard us in the opening 20 minutes. That doesn't worry me as much as how they organise their side for the game."
There were a few hopeful signs for Newcastle at the weekend. While they were winning their third game of the season, Zagreb were losing at their leading rivals, Hajduk Split. Moreoever, their coach, Marijan Vlak, did not travel to the game because of a back injury and is being pressured to stand down in favour of the controversial national coach, Miroslav Blazevic, until he recovers.
Nor have Zagreb done well in Europe since Croatian clubs have been allowed to compete under their own flag. In three campaigns, they have only defeated teams from the Faroe Isles and Albania.
However, unlike Newcastle, they are at least champions of their own country, having done the double for the last two seasons. They are also the only Croatian side to have lifted a European trophy, winning the Fairs' Cup in 1967, two years before Newcastle did, by beating Leeds.
They were than called Dinamo Zagreb and represented the old Yugoslavia. As standard bearers for their new country, they will be formidable opponents, their technical ability bolstered by a distinct pride.
When, at the end of ITV's coverage of the first match, Bob Wilson turned to Terry Venables and asked: "Do you think they [Newcastle] can do it over there?" the old smoothie had to summon all his media skills to avoid saying an outright `no.'
"It will be very difficult for them, and a very good achievement if they win," was the gist of his reply. Little has happened since to alter that view.
