Box Score
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – The Marist men's lacrosse team exploded offensively for a 23-5 win against VMI Saturday afternoon in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) game at Tenney Stadium. Marist's 23 goals are tied for the most goals scored in NCAA men's lacrosse this season.
15 different players registered at least one point on the day and Connor Rice (Penfield, N.Y.) led the way with eight points on three goals and five assists. Aedan Herman (Stafford, Va.), wearing the symbolic 34 jersey, found the back of the net a game-high four times, while Drew Nesmith (Montclair, N.J.) picked up a hat trick with three goals. Freshman Joseph Radin (Long Beach, N.Y.) also contributed four points on two 2 goals and 2 assists. Dave Scarcello (Buffalo, N.Y.), Craig Goodermote (Holtsville, N.Y.), Brendan Price (Bay Shore, N.Y.) and Michael Linehan (Rye, N.Y.) combined for six saves in net. The Red Foxes outshot VMI 65-26 and went 23-31 in face-offs.
Rice opened the scoring for the Red Foxes (7-1, 3-0 MAAC) off a nice pass from Radin, and less than a minute later scored another beautiful unassisted goal off of a VMI (0-9, 0-3 MAAC) turnover. After goals from seniors Jake Doherty (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) and Jim Marks (Camillus, N.Y.), Rice completed the hat trick with a bullet past the goalie to give Marist a 5-0 advantage.
Marist ended the quarter leading VMI 6-0, with Rice having a hand on five of those goals.
Herman scored two of his four goals in the first five minutes of the second quarter to extend the lead to 8-0. After goals from Doherty and Nesmith, Herman completed his hat trick with just under four minutes left in the quarter.
The half would end with Marist leading 12-0 as VMI was not able to attempt a shot in the second quarter.
Marist picked up right where they left off scoring just four minutes into the quarter off a shot from Nesmith. Eleven seconds later senior Shane Jaeger (Ellicott City, Md.) scored his first career goal.
VMI finally worked its way onto the board with a goal at the 9:33 mark of the of the third quarter.
Colin Joka (Conshohocken, Pa.), Newsmith and Herman would add goals to bring the Red Foxes' lead to 17-1 with 6:10 left in the third period.
Vin Chiodo (Garden City, N.J.) and Radin scored to close out the period, and give Marist a 19-2 lead into the final quarter.
The fourth quarter saw three more Red Foxes register their first career points. A minute and a half into the quarter freshman Nick Papayanakos (Manlius, N.Y.) tallied his first career goal with a beautiful shot ripped high under the crossbar. After trading goals, freshman defender Derek Sganga (Manorville, N.Y.) ran coast to coast and put a shot past the VMI goalkeeper for his first career point. After another goal from VMI, junior Patrick Fermo (Red Bank, N.J.) closed out the scoring for Marist with his first career goal. VMI would score once more, bringing the final score to 23-5.
The Red Foxes remain at home for a midweek non-conference game against Delaware on Wednesday. Face-off is scheduled for 3 p.m.

So without much going on today I decided to clean some stuff out of my storage closet. I didn't get far before I found my boxes of toys:
Piles of speeder bike parts, old beat up Slave 1 from my childhood, old Rancor, box of gun parts for mando projects, a huge bag of various kanekalon hair, and some WOF templates I had printed out a while back. Long story short, my floor is a mess with stuff from the closet and I am making some new gauntlets. I have a great metal pair from Wickedbeard, but you can never have too many gauntlets lying around can you?
Anyway here we go:
that's all for now, it took up a nice chunk of the day. Hopefully I can finish cleaning these up soon...

Why Does The Mainstream Media Like To Make Fun Of Preppers So Much?
Attachment 36424
endoftheamericandream.com / By Michael Snyder, on November 14th, 2013
Have you noticed that the mainstream media has a tremendous amount of disdain for preppers? Even though there are now approximately 3 million preppers in the United States, most of the time the media ignores us. But once in a while an editor in New York City or Los Angeles decides that it would be fun to do a story about the crazies that are preparing for doomsday. And of course it is very rare for any piece in the mainstream media about preppers to be even close to balanced reporting. Most of the time, news stories that report on preppers portray them as mentally unstable kooks and loons that everyone else in society should be laughing at. But perhaps there is a deeper explanation for the contempt that the mainstream media has for preppers. After all, those in the media are representatives of the establishment, and they are probably deeply offended on some level that we dont have the same kind of blind faith in the system that they do. The fact that so many Americans believe that the system is on the verge of collapse doesnt make any sense to them, and instead of really looking into the truth of what we are saying, they would much rather dismiss us by labeling all of us a bunch of uneducated nutjobs on the fringe of society.
A few days ago, I came across another example of this demonization of preppers by the mainstream media. The following are a few lines from a recent CNN article entitled What I saw at the doomsday prepper convention. For the first few paragraphs the piece actually seems fairly balanced, but by the end of the article the author cant resist openly mocking preppers and what many of them believe. Just check out these zingers

Colin Hay
Taking an extended break, Hay and company did not resurface again until 1985's Two Hearts, an unfocused recording that saw almost half of the band replaced. With the album's disappointing showing, Men at Work split up shortly thereafter. Hay embarked on a solo career, debuting in 1987 with Looking for Jack (the title of which supposedly referred to a brief encounter Hay had with actor Jack Nicholson), which once more failed to match the success of his early work with Men at Work. Hay continued to release solo material with regularity throughout the '90s, including such titles as 1990's Wayfaring Sons, 1992's Peaks & Valleys, 1994's Topanga, and 1998's Transcendental Highway. The same decade, Hay also launched his own record label, Lazy Eye Records, and sporadically acted in cult movies (which he had begun doing the previous decade) and TV shows, including parts on such series as JAG, The Larry Sanders Show, and The Mick Molloy Show, among others. The first few years of the 21st century saw the release of a pair of recordings -- a new studio album in 2001, Going Somewhere, and a collection of re-recorded Men at Work and solo tracks in 2003 (Man at Work). Hay also toured with Ringo Starr in the summer of 2003, as part of the former Beatles drummer's annual All Starr Band. He issued Are You Lookin' at Me? in 2007 and American Sunshine in 2009, both of which were released on the Compass label. Two years later, Hay released his 11th album, Gathering Mercury, which was followed in 2015 by Next Year People. For 2017's Fierce Mercy, Hay produced the record himself, resulting in a richer sound than its immediate predecessors. ~ Greg Prato

The picturesque US ski resort town of Aspen is suffering from a lack of g'days.
Australian tourists usually flood the Colorado winter paradise in January, but this year, local businesses are reeling from a drop in Aussie visitors.
Tim Clark, a partner in Frias Properties, Aspen's largest manager of apartments, said revenues from Australian visitors has plummeted 22 per cent this season with the number of nights stayed by Aussies down 19 per cent.
"It's significant because they (Australians) stay for longer periods - generally two or three weeks," Mr Clark told The Aspen Times newspaper.
Joe Raczak, general manager of the North of Nell Condominiums, estimated revenues from Australian travellers were down 10 per cent, while room nights had fallen 14 per cent.
The Aussie exodus is partly being blamed on big discounts Japanese ski resorts have offered this ski season.
The Japanese industry is looking to bounce back after last year's devastating tsunami and earthquake, with cheap deals drawing Aussie skiers away from Aspen.
Not all locals are disappointed with the lack of Aussies.
On the Aspen Times website local Addison Chouette complained Aussie tourists "don't tip" so "send them home so the people here can make a living".

Hello everyone! My name's Rick, I'm 22 years old and I'm currently stationed at Ft. Myer, Virginia with the U.S. 3rd Infantry Regiment. I've been a big fan of Boba Fett ever since I was a kid and back in 2006 I joined this board reading a lot of the extremely helpful information all you guys have posted. Now that I'm finally living off-post, I've decided to pick up where I left off and start creating the most movie-accurate Fett uniform I can.
I've barely scratched the surface of this forum, and I can't wait to find more interesting posts on the "do-it-yourselves".
A small bit about me: A few of my hobbies include playing Guitar, WWII-Re-enacting and militaria collecting, going to the range, graphic design, PC Gaming, keeping fit, and spending time with my girl Brittney...who lovingly asks me why the hell do I want to build a "walking junkyard" (her first impression of Boba Fett).
I hope to become an active member of this board. Take care,
- Rick

AMES, Iowa – Harvesting melons at the right stage of maturity results in high quality, nutritious products. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists tell how to identify ripe melons. To have additional plant and garden questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or email@example.com.
Harvest watermelons when the underside or belly of the fruit turns from a greenish white to buttery yellow or cream. This color change is especially pronounced on the dark green skinned varieties. In addition, the fruit tends to lose its slick appearance on top and becomes dull when ripe.
For most individuals, thumping or tapping the melon is generally not a good indicator of ripeness. Rapping an immature melon with your knuckles produces a metallic ring. A ripe melon gives off a hollow or dull ring. While experienced home gardeners may be able to determine the maturity of watermelons using the thump test, most individuals will have difficulty differentiating between the sounds.
When harvesting watermelons, leave two inches of the stem on the fruit. Watermelons can be stored at room temperature for about one week and for two to three weeks at 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
The fruit of the muskmelon or cantaloupe is mature when the stem slips easily from the melon with slight pressure. The melon is not ripe if the stem has to be forcibly separated from the fruit. Other indicators of maturity are based on touch, appearance and aroma. When ripe, the flower end (the end opposite the stem) of the melon should be slightly soft. As the fruit matures, the skin between the netting turns from green to yellow. Finally, a ripe melon produces a strong "muskmelon" aroma.
Muskmelons can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. The optimum storage temperature is 32 to 36 degrees Fahrenheit. Before refrigerating, place melons in a plastic bag to prevent the muskmelon aroma from flavoring other stored foods.
Unlike muskmelons, the fruit of honeydews do not slip off the vine when mature. The best indicator of ripeness is a slight softening of the blossom end of the fruit. There also may be a subtle change in the color of the honeydew. Honeydews can be stored for two to three weeks at a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Communication Major Brings Springfield to Witt
September 2009
When Leslie Chasteen found a project that combined the knowledge she's gained from her communication studies and the commitment she feels to the Springfield community, it was the Wittenberg student body that reaped the benefits. Passport to Springfield, which completed its second run at Wittenberg last month, was organized by Chasteen who is a senior communication major at Witt.
Passport to Springfield allows local area businesses to come to Wittenberg and display their services in the bottom of the Benham-Pence Student Center. Students go to each station and get a sampling of everything that Springfield has to offer, receiving things like free food and discount coupons along the way.
"It's pretty cool that businesses are excited to come to campus," Chasteen said. "The event is doing what it set out to do. It's making connections between students and the community."

Communication Student Finds her Voice
September 2009
For communication major Ariel Andrews, her major isn't the only thing helping her discover her light. Like all Witt students, Andrews is taking advantage of everything Wittenberg has to offer in order to become a well rounded person, and for her that includes singing as well as communication studies. "Making music," Andrews said, "became something that I loved, something I became good at. Then it became something that I could always rely on to keep me happy." Andrews, a junior at Wittenberg, plans to pursue both her communication and music interests. She feels that her communications degree will help her obtain credibility with the business side of the music industry. This fall, Andrews will further her communication education by studying at the Danish Institute of Study's communication program in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Prof. Kristine Warrenburg will be filling in for the 2008-2009 academic year for Dr. Waggoner while she is on sabbatical, and Dr. Sheryl Cunningham will be joining the faculty in a tenure-track position. Both new professors orginally hail from the Midwest, so hopefully they'll enjoy their new positions on Wittenberg's campus!
As a way of welcoming the two new professors to Wittenberg, Lambda Pi Eta members contacted them by email and asked a few questions about their personalities. Hopefully the following questionnaires will help students get an idea of what to look forward to come the Fall.

The Communication Honors Thesis: A Sheep in Wolves' Clothing?
When many students hear the words, "honors thesis" as far as they are concerned the words may as well have been, "Unnecessary hard work." It is hard to blame them; the requirements of writing a thesis, successfully defending it before a committee, and presenting it at a departmental colloquium do seem daunting. Regardless of how intimidating attaining Communication Honors may seem however, year after year multiple Communication majors still take the thesis path.
So why do they do it? Read more...

Congratulations to Caitlin Augustus. winner of the New York Times Letter to the Editor Contest!
Caitlin Augustus, senior communication major, wrote a heartfelt letter to the Springfield News Sun around Christmas concerning those less fortunate in our city. In her letter she advocated, in her words, "gratefulness, compassion, and, most important, action." She called upon the city of Springfield to not turn a blind eye to the people who have little to be thankful for, but to reach out to them regardless of how busy people may be. The letter was published on December 16th, and the Communication Department would like to commend Caitlin for her effort. Hopefully through her words lives can be touched throughout the greater Springfield area.

Featured Senior Communication Major: Keeley Buehler
When Keeley Buehler came to Wittenberg, she wasn't exactly sure what her major would be, but she did know one thing – she wanted to work with fashion. If you ever have the pleasure of meeting her, you'll understand why right away - Keeley is one of those people that, no matter what the weather, will be looking sharp every day of the week. When Keeley found as a freshman that there were no design or merchandizing programs at Witt, she knew she would have to look to other departments to channel her love of style into something workable. Luckily for her, she met Dr. Matthew Smith.

Zombie run
Run among the undead and raise money for the rail trails
By SUSAN CLARK
Union Leader Correspondent | September 25. 2013 7:34PM
About 90 zombies took part in the Rails to Entrails Zombie Survival 5K race in New Boston last year. This year's race is Sunday, Oct. 6, at the Hillsborough County Youth Center, off Route 13. New this year is a kids' 1K race that will be less challenging and less scary than the adult 5K. Proceeds help support the New Boston Rail Trails. (COURTESY)
It's not a horror movie or a new TV show, but the second annual Rails to Entrails Zombie Survival 5K race in New Boston on Sunday, Oct. 6, at the Hillsborough County Youth Center, off Route 13.
"There are culvert pipes that people crawl through, large sand piles to cross over, and a water slide over a steep hill. It's pretty intense," said Laura Bernard, vice chairman of the New Boston Conservation Commission.
Runners will also tackle a large mud pit and horse gates to hurdle. Local Scouts are also building a monkey bridge made of sticks and ropes that runners have to climb and cross over.
At registration, runners are given three flags to wear. If they lose all three, they become zombies. If runners compete the race intact, they stay alive. Prizes will be given for the fastest runner alive, the fastest runner dead, and the zombie with the most kills — meaning the most flags captured. Last year, the races featured 90 zombies and more than 200 runners from New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Maine.
New this year is a 1K race for kids geared toward elementary-school ages.
As teachers, McDermott and Veilleux are always on the lookout for ways to help their students.
The cost to sign up for the kids' 1K is $9. On Oct. 6, registration begins at 8 a.m., with the race at 9:30 a.m.
Runners and zombies are encouraged to wear scary make-up, but don't be afraid if your talents are limited. There will be face-painters on hand who will make you look like one of the undead.
To register or for more information, go to railstoentrails.com.

text: That's not to put all the blame on the coach either. Stuckey has to knock that shot down. You aren't going to be any more wide open than that. I'm sure he makes those regularly in practice, so it's probably a mental thing when it comes to making them in games. Some poster brought up the fact that he really never shoots threes in the rhythm of the offense (only taking them when they need a desperation attempt) and I think that is a very valid point.

Social Work Training
Training in Clinical Child and Family Social Work
The Institute for Juvenile Research (IJR)/Colbeth Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic offers exceptional training in child and family mental health with an emphasis on evidence-based practice. Students are prepared for a career in clinical social work with children, adolescents and their families in a multidisciplinary context, while attending to larger systems of care and striving for cultural competence. Students have opportunities to do individual, family and group interventions with children, adolescents, and their families. Collateral work with child welfare, and schools is encouraged. The children and families are predominantly low-income, inner city, racial/ethnic minority children and families. Clients live across the Chicago metropolitan area and are self-referred or referred by schools and pediatricians. Trainees receive intensive supervision and participate in brief seminars and other learning opportunities offered by the Department of Psychiatry.
- Apply a strengths-based approach in understanding risk and protective factors when assessing and intervening with children and families.
- Implement culturally-sensitive, evidence based treatments specific to mental health problems of inner-city children, adolescents, and their families.
- Understand the impact of various systems on children and to intervene with those systems (i.e. families, schools, DCFS, community) on behalf of the child.
- Function as an active and engaged member of a multi-disciplinary team.
- Understand and use knowledge of how our personal views and personality traits affect our relationships with clients and with co-workers.
Trainees are assigned to a multi-disciplinary team in the Colbeth Child & Adolescent Psychiatry outpatient clinic. Within these teams, trainees conduct mental health assessments, develop treatment plans, and build their clinical caseloads. Trainees will practice with 7-10 families at any given time during the 10 month placement.
Interventions include family systems, individual, and group work with an emphasis on evidence-based practices. Collateral work with child welfare agencies and schools is strongly encouraged. Students are assigned a primary supervisor in their clinic and participate in weekly individual and bi-weekly group supervision with other social work trainees. Students are required to videotape at least three client sessions for review with a supervisor and have the opportunity for live supervision.
Start date is July 1 for three days per week (typically Monday, Wednesday, Friday) continuing through early May. Small stipends are available for July and August.
Most appointments are scheduled after school or parent's work, between 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; evening hours are required.
Access to a car is not required but may be useful for periodic school or home visits.
Rhapsody Mason, LCSW
Applying for social work training opportunities2nd year Master's level students currently enrolled in an accredited college or school of social work may request an interview after receiving approval from their school/college advisor or field liaison.

We depend on the advice of professionals and citizens to develop workable construction codes. The Construction Codes Advisory Board (CCAB) gives input about proposed code amendments and Director's Rules related to technical codes. Its input is based on the members' professional experience and point of view.
CCAB is a volunteer board. Its 13 members are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. Its authority comes from Seattle Building Code Section 105. CCAB is also available to advise us when permit applicants are unsatisfied with our decisions and want another opinion. A CCAB subcommittee, the Innovation Advisory Committee, reviews energy efficient development proposals that are not covered by the technical codes.

Arsenal.com's Nick Teale uses the Bettorlogic form lab to assess this Sunday's game.
Last season West Ham United finished ninth in the Premier League table, just two points short of qualifying for the Europa League.
However, their start to the new campaign has been disappointing. Their only win came on the opening day away at Wolves, and since then only draws in Blackburn and at home to Fulham have added to their points tally.
In four of the last six seasons, the Hammers have taken points from Arsenal at Upton Park. But the last two trips to east London have ended in victory for the Gunners.
Could this match against Arsène Wenger's side be the turning point for West Ham's season? Perhaps they would like to think so, but under Gianfranco Zola they are yet to pick up a single point at home to a 'Big Four' club.
However, the Bettorlogic form lab could provide some hints to the Italian manager ahead of the latest London derby.
For example, in the nine games 19-year-old midfielder Junior Stanislas has played, West Ham have only conceded seven goals. That's a 44 per cent improvement on the team average of letting in 1.39 goals per game since the start of the 2004/05 campaign.
At the other end of the pitch, new signing Alessandro Diamanti seems to have had an impact. Despite the Hammers' poor start to the season, their goalscoring record improves with him in the team.
When the Italian plays, West Ham score an average of 1.5 goals per game, compared with the overall team average of 1.13 goals per game since August 2004.
One other player worth highlighting is Jack Collison. When he plays, West Ham average 1.5 points per game. When he doesn't, they pick up 1.22 points per game.
But will any of the aforementioned players take part on Sunday? Collison and Diamanti started in last weekend's defeat to Stoke, but all three missed the previous match against Fulham.
Finally, a positive note for Arsenal, who since the start of the 2004/05 season, tend to succeed against teams coming into a game in the bottom six.
The Gunners average more points per game, lose less and score more against bottom six clubs than they do in the Premier League as a whole.

text: With all this basketball and football talk, I thought I should get the hockey talk started. Particularly with all the exciting things going on with the Red Wings (and Lightning, lol). Do we even have a commissioner for hockey yet? I know we threw a lot of stuff around. Here is my wish list: Head to head Ten teams Live draft Weekly (not daily) lineups (but extra positions play every day) So every day you can potentially play: 2 goalies 3 Centers 5 Wings 1 flex (utility) 3 Defenseman also: 3 bench 1 IR Now remember, teams only play about 3 or 4 times per week max, so most days you won't be able to play all these guys). We wouldn't need to limit roster moves because you can't stream (Tater) in a weekly setting. Roscoe is banned from joining (negotiable) Jammer is banned from joining (non-negotiable) It's not quite time to set it up yet, but we are getting close. Categories: Goals, Assists, Power play goals, Power play assists, Game winning goals (yes, it's back), Short handed goals, short handed assists, face offs won, Wins, Goals against, Save pct, Shut outs. Maybe losses and penalty minutes ? (negotiable) I'm willing to be commissioner, but if so, I really am going to want these settings. If someone else wants to do it and make their own settings that's cool with me...I'll support you fully. Thoughts? Anyone interested?

|Oregon Lacrosse Tops Saint Mary's, 16-8
MORAGA, Calif.- The University of Oregon lacrosse team added one more win to their perfect MPSF slate as they defeated Saint Mary's, 16-8, on Sunday afternoon at the SMC Recreation Field in Moraga, Calif.
With the win, the Ducks moved to 11-4 overall and 6-0 in the MPSF, making the match between Oregon and Denver on Apr. 21 in Eugene the setting for an epic battle for first place with the MPSF Tournament looming Apr. 27-29 at Stanford.
UO raced out to the 2-0 lead behind goals from seniors Kristina Barrett and Jana Drummond, but SMC's Amanda Cross put the Gaels on the board with 12 minutes elapsed in the match.
The Ducks went back on the attack, tallying four straight goals to take a 6-1 advantage at the halfway point in the first stanza.
The Gaels (2-10, 0-5 MPSF) struck for back-to-back goals though, bringing the match to a 6-3 standing.
Oregon got two more goals from sophomores Shannon Propst and Nikki Puszcz and brought an 8-4 lead into the locker room.
The Ducks opened up the half by putting up consecutive goals from sophomore Hayley Milner off the pass from Puszcz and from Puszcz off the dish from Barrett to reach the double-digit goal plateau for the fifth straight match, which have all been victories.
UO's next two scores came off the stick of Barrett, giving the Ducks a 12-4 advantage with less than 13 minutes left in the match.
The Ducks and Gaels traded goals back and forth, but scores by Puszcz, Propst and junior Maggie Kovacs sealed the win for Oregon.
Barrett led UO with four goals while Puszcz and Propst followed up with three. The Ducks also got two goals each from Drummond and Kovacs. Barrett and Puszcz were also responsible for assists on three goals each.
Cross tallied four goals and an assist to pace the Gaels.
Sophomore Caroline Federighi (11-3) and junior Salliebeth Finnegan split halves in goal with Federighi picking up the win behind an six-save outing. Finnegan was solid in the second half, recording five saves.
Despite stopping a match-high 11 shots, Kassandra Lemons took the loss.
The Ducks now move to 11-0 all-time against the Gaels.
The match between Oregon and Denver will serve as Senior Day with action from Pape' Field beginning at 1 p.m.
With her six saves, Caroline Federighi has over 100 saves on the season (102)...Kristina Barrett has now tallied seven points two times in her career...Jess Drummond caused a season-high four turnovers for the second time in her career...Salliebeth Finnegan recorded a season-high five saves...Maggie Kovacs set season highs in goals (2), points (2) and shots (2)...For the fifth time this season and seventh time in her career, Shannon Propst scored a career-high three goals...Nikki Puszcz tallied a season-high and career-high six points with her three goals and three assists...Colleen Taggart earned a season-high and career-high two draw controls...Jana Drummond, the new Oregon goals leader, has 142 goals for her career...Kristina Barrett has 72 career assists, three from tying Theresa Waldron...For the second straight match, the Ducks have held an opponent to just one assist.

I have always wondered why some BK wrap there hives in black tar paper??I can understand the wind shielding aspect, but heating the hive on sunny winter days will cause the ball of bees to break prematurely and result in a higher consumption of winter stores.Studies that I read show that a steady constant hive temperature makes things easier for the bees to maintain a warm bee ball in wintertime.The bees need a quiet stable environment.mvh edward :-P
Hei Man, your pictures are great! They perfectly visualize the flow of winter air at the top of the hive. Warm humid and CO2 laden air must rise on top of the bees, that's why when you open the hive there is no condensation in the central area; As this air move away from the centre it must become cooler and denser and therefore, in a well insulated hive, will tend to descend at the side without condensing, while opening the hive cool further this already relatively cool air under its dew point and forces its condensation.Well :angel: :-D Now I'm tripping! The more I look into this and the more sci-Fi become the world of the bees..From Wikipedia page on Natural convection:"As the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the fluid becomes higher, significant differences in fluid parameters other than density may develop in the fluid due to temperature. An example of such a parameter is viscosity, which may begin to significantly vary horizontally across layers of fluid. This breaks the symmetry of the system, and generally changes the pattern of up- and down-moving fluid from stripes to hexagons,as seen at right. Such hexagons are one example of a convection cell."A great article I found on the Warrèbeekeeping forum :"Flow currents and ventilation in Langstroth beehives due to broodthermoregulation efforts of honeybees" by Rangarajan Sudarsan, CodyThompson, Peter G.Kevan, Hermann J. Eberl. So long..

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by IDC a.k.a. Ritti, Sep 26, 2012.
This made the news even here in Finland...
Locked-out NHLers booted off the ice by Coach Marla
Wooohoo! Good on her!
Waaah waah waaaaah, you poor hockey brats. "tough enough time getting on the ice as it is"? PAH! Try being a figure skater! Figure skating gets nowhere near the ice time hockey does. Maybe this'll be good for the hockey jerks!
Oh, and it gets worse - the only reason they switched sheets was because they chewed up the first one! And then they tried to send the coach and her little eight year old onto the chewed up one! SKATE ON IT YOURSELF YOU JERKS.
I wouldn't take the article too seriously. It seemed to be very tongue in cheek.
Love it! Nice to see the jocks forced to yield the floor to the arts.
Back in 2001, a football coach ordered his players to run wind sprints through the ranks of a drum and bugle corps that had rights to the field for rehearsal. The coach decided it was his field no matter what the university had negotiated. Members of the corps were injured. And, IIRC, though this article doesn't mention it, some expensive musical instruments were also damaged. He was ultimately fired over it.
Why "arts"? Figure skating can be an artform, but for most skaters it's a sport first. Little girls can be jocks too.
Exactly, figure skaters are the ones who have to skate at 5am, while the hockey players get mid-day ice AND get paid big bucks... Also, they chewed up one rink and then just moved to another, instead of having it resurfaced?
I thought so too, the hockey players didn't seem too upset, more like amused.
I thought it was interesting that the ice was reserved for one eight year old skater. Is this common when working with kids?
The reason the hockey players were amused is because they are used to being able to walk into any rink and have as much ice time as they want. They are not used to having a figure skater assert their right to ice time.
The session was probably freestyle or public - and nobody was there so they thought they could just walk on and do hockey. Then the freestyle student shows up and the coach tells them they have to leave. Just my guess. It doesn't matter if it's an eight year old or not.
The fact that an entire team of NHL players got off the ice proves that they were wrong to be there in the first place. Also, they had their OWN rink and were too lazy to have the ice resurfaced, so they go to the other rink and are surprised when someone says they can't run roughshod over the entire facility because little girls have to use it too.
Also, that there was a "tongue-in-cheek" article written at all, shows that figure skaters are supposed to "know their place," and those that don't, get articles written about them that make fun of their "attitude".
The article said it had been reserved for the coach and this student, and I was curious because even elite skaters often train in groups (not to mention how expensive ice time is!).
That wasn't my impression at all, but YMMV.
Figure skating is a unique and beautiful thing. It is an art. But we all know exactly how taxing a sport it really is. The jocks I speak of are the ones who think it's not a sport cause of the costumes and dance moves and such.
My drum corps compatriots suffer the same stigma. In fact, the governing body of competitive color guard (Winter Guard International) has taken on the slogan "Sport of the Arts."
I just relate to figure skating the same way. It's definitly a sport, and a very demanding one. Yet it's often looked down on by those who are in the macho type sports.
You'd be surprised. I know a lot of hockey players, including one who played pro, who have a very healthy respect for figure skating as a sport. They've spent enough time in rinks to know how hard you have to work to get to the higher levels.
The hockey players should of asked Marla for lessons on how to skate backwards. and crossovers. and stroking.
They are in the NHL. I'm sure they can skate just fine.
Well it wouldn't hurt for some of them to learn how to hold an edge considering how many of them "blow a tire" during a game LOL
Stick handle, shoot, fight, spit - yes. Back crossovers....sadly no.
I can't complain about hockey too much. We never had year-round ice or multi-surface rinks in my area until hockey became popular. You were either dressed in 20 layers or skating on an inch of water.
Watch the defensemen. That they can skate that well backwards on hockey skates is amazing. (If you've ever tried hockey skates you know what I mean). Plus, hockey the game isn't made for long powerful strokes and deep edges. It's made for fast movements, speed, and quick reactions.
FWIW, hockey players from tots on up do spend time doing back crossover drills in practice, but the reality of hockey is that it is a forward-skating sport - they prefer to skate forward. I would hazard to guess most figure skaters prefer to skate backwards - I know I do. Forward power circles are hard!
(As you can tell, I have a lot of respect for hockey. My son played for nine years. When he started I knew nothing about the sport except that they took all our ice time. Now, I understand and like the sport.)

Christopher Hitchens: Grass in their mouths.
posted at 10:54 am on December 16, 2011 by Jazz Shaw
I suppose it's both fitting and ironic that in this age of instant communications and social media, I didn't find out that Christopher Hitchens had passed on until the following morning. But I received the first, frightening hint of the news on Twitter, lodged in my mentions column from the night before. Only moments after I went to bed, a mutual friend had been demanding that Ed Morrissey and I pore through "hours of Hitchens footage" so we could reminisce about it today. A quick flip through a few browser tabs later and it was confirmed. A giant had fallen. (Even as I write this I'm still having difficulty wrapping my mind around the prospect of working either of the words "died" or "dead" into the same sentence with his name.)
I spent the morning plagued by an indescribable sense of sadness, though everyone had known for some time that this day was coming. I never met Hitchens, but it always felt as if he lived around the block from me and only poor timing had kept us from running into each other. Such was the nature of his constant output of notable work; his books upon my shelves, the regular links which popped up in my mail, pointing to this or that column in every major publication which wound up being brilliant, infuriating, or – most frequently – both.
For many years I have either puzzled or enraged my friends and regular correspondents when the inevitable topic among writers would crop up. Who are the greatest writers of our time? I long ago narrowed my list down to four – George Will, James Kilpatrick, Christopher Hitchens and James Wolcott. (That last entry never fails to send conservative friends into apoplectic fits, but he deserves his place on the roster.) Sadly, we have now lost two of the four.
We can, perhaps, learn more about the nature of the man not from what he wrote, but what his friends and enemies wrote about him over the years. (And the ranks of the aforementioned categories are legion.) But even identifying his actual friends can be difficult, since he demonstrated a lifelong propensity to slash at his allies – in a seemingly careless way – with the same vigor he displayed in eviscerating his foes. Even that should have come as no surprise, though. What else should we expect from someone who penned a scathing editorial attack on Mother Theresa? Andrew Anthony of The Observer offered a defense of Hitch's wide ranging attacks in a jacket blurb he did for one of my favorite books in the Hitchens collection, Love, Poverty, and War:
Among his many weapons… a moral authority that is built on something sturdier than cheap moralizing.
Hitchens wasn't some overnight success, suddenly appearing after his famous moment of liberal apostasy when he embraced the invasion of Iraq. (A seminal moment which led to a mass upwelling of rage among his legions of followers, including yours truly.) He had always been there, frequently behind the scenes, stirring up trouble wherever he went. I often pictured Hitchens as the quintessential, revolutionary character in all of those movies we all remember. Whether it was Dead Poets Society or The Big Chill, there was always the one rebellious student, striding back and forth on the university library steps, gesticulating wildly and quoting centuries dead monks which nobody else had heard of yet, while a crouched group of future protesters and disaffected youths looked on in awe. Hitchens was that guy. He was always that guy.
I imagine him at the moment of his birth as being the baby who refused to squander his first breaths bawling and mewling after the doctor spanked him. He would have contained himself, storing up his energy until he developed sufficient motor skills to hold a pencil and write his first scathing review – probably a critique of his mother's womb as a prenatal carrying device. ("All in all a creditable conveyance, though tending a bit toward the damp side and the lighting was simply abysmal.")
Hitchens moved boldly across the world stage, wandering through places which would paralyze a more cautious man. While he found much to criticize, he still revealed a deep well of empathy in his writings for those who were left out in the cold by forces they could never hope to overcome themselves. In one of the many jewels among his collection of essays, I was particularly moved by the stark image he painted of North Korea following a trip there in the nineties. Titled, "Visit to a Small Planet," (an ironic homage to the Jerry Lewis film of the same name) he crafted a meticulous, insult laden assault on the late Kim Il Sung and his hapless, seemingly inbred progeny. He describes his visit to the U.S.S. Pueblo with a visceral, white hot anger, but then goes on to convey the shame he experienced for feeling hungry in a land filled with hopeless, starving peasants.
North Korea is a famine state. In the fields, you can see people picking up loose grains of rice and kernels of corn, gleaning every scrap. They look pinched and exhausted. In the few, dingy restaurants in the city, and even in the few modern hotels, you can read the Pyongyang Times through the soup, or the tea, or the coffee. Morsels of inexplicable fat or gristle are served as "duck." One evening I gave in and tried a bowl of dog stew, which at least tasted hearty and spicy—they wouldn't tell me the breed—but then found my appetite crucially diminished by the realization that I hadn't seen a domestic animal, not even the merest cat, in the whole time I was there. (In a Pyongyang restaurant, don't ever ask for a doggie bag.) Nobody knows how many North Koreans have died or are dying in the famine—some estimates by foreign-aid groups run as high as three million in the period from 1995 to 1998 alone—but the rotund, jowly face of Kim Il Sung still beams down contentedly from every wall, and the 58-year-old son looks as chubby as ever, even as his slenderized subjects are mustered to applaud him. Kim Jong Il, incidentally, has been made head of the party and of the army, but the office of the presidency is still "eternally" held by his adored and departed dad, who died on July 8, 1994, at 82. (The Kim is dead. Long live the Kim.) This makes North Korea the only state in the world with a dead president. What would be the right term for this? A necrocracy? A thanatocracy? A mortocracy? A mausolocracy? Anyway, grimly appropriate for a morbid system so many of whose children have died with grass in their mouths.
Hitchens was one of the few who could pull off the feat of making up his own, new words when a suitable one was not extant in the English language. And the imagery of the North Korean children who, "died with grass in their mouths" while their delusional leaders told them they lived in a land of milk and honey is heart rending. But that was Hitchens in a nutshell. You didn't need to go to North Korea after that. He had done it for you and you could immerse yourself in the experience without ponying up the cash for a plane ticket and a full suit of body armor.
Hitchens was the party crasher who never made you feel like calling the cops. He was completely unapologetic for the smoking, the drinking, the unhealthy food and his take no prisoners, bon vivant lifestyle. He was The Honey Badger decades before YouTube would be invented to bring the now iconic video clip to us. He simply did not – if you'll pardon the alteration – give a crap. Hitchens was in technicolor when much of my early life seemed to be playing out in black and white.
And now he's gone. I'm sure I'm not the first to describe him as a "devout atheist" and I won't be the last. (Another case where an ironic contradiction in terms is the only suitable way to describe him.) He has either been proven right and sunk back into the cosmic background noise, or found himself to be wrong and is pounding on the Pearly Gates in righteous indignation. If so, somebody will have some explaining to do, and I expect in this case Hitchens will be demanding an answer as to how God could be such an inexcusably obstreperous contrarian as to exist.
Yes, I can bring myself to say it now. Christopher Hitchens is dead. But he most assuredly did not die with grass in his mouth.
Addendum: Hitchens beat the ploughshares of the English language into a sword. And he wielded it mightily.

Texans Urged To Help Stop Invasive Plants
Horned Lizard License Plate Helps Fund Solutions
AUSTIN, Texas — As the Texas landscape changes colors this season, untrained observers may be admiring species which are actually invasive and damaging to the Lone Star State. In order to protect Texas wildlife and restore the state to its original beauty, experts are urging citizens to try to identify these invasive species, and avoid spreading their impact this holiday season.
During the fall and winter, several invasive plants flourish and are easy to recognize. Most of these troublesome invaders are non-native exotics; they were brought here from far-off places and can cause serious problems for people and for native plants and animals. What many people don't know is that they could be unwittingly contributing to the problem by buying these plants and adding them to their land or gardens.
The problem has become so widespread it's given rise to the Pulling Together Initiative, described as "a Texas-sized partnership to manage non-native invasive plants." This group has created a robust Texas Invasives Web site containing a large plant database to help people identify and control invaders. The initiative is launching a new program called Invaders of Texas. This volunteer campaign is run by "citizen scientists" who detect and report invasive species, and it offers free workshops to train participants to slow the spread of harmful invasives and reduce environmental and economic damage.
Another way citizens can help, besides getting educated and acting to stop invasive species, is by purchasing a Texas Horned Lizard License Plate for their car, truck, motorcycle or trailer. Sales of this specialty plate are helping to pay for the Texas Invasives Web site and the new Invaders of Texas program.
"If a plant flourishes everywhere, in any climate, and reproduces easily, it might become invasive," says Kelly Bender, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department urban wildlife biologist. "Most invasive species are not regulated in our state, so the best thing people can do is become educated and refrain from buying and spreading them."
Bender says three species to look out for this season include:
- Chinese tallow — an exotic tree with leaves that change to bright red in fall. Chinese tallow was originally brought to the region for soap production and ornamental purposes. Unfortunately, the plant is so aggressive that it out-competes all other plants in its path. Areas that were once coastal meadows are now completely covered in dense stands of tallow trees, and habitat for Attwater's greater prairie chickens, dickcissels, and other grassland-loving species is being lost.
- Ligustrum — an evergreen often used in home landscaping, this large shrub completely replaces the understory (shrub-layer) by shading out all other plants, especially in woodlands near water. Among other negative results, this causes increased erosion that can turn crystal clear springs into murky waterways.
- Giant cane — a tall grass that can choke natural waterways, originally introduced for erosion control and ornamental use.
The Texas Wildlife Action Plan identifies invasive exotic species as a significant problem statewide, one that can "displace native species, threaten habitat integrity and can profoundly alter the landscape." The annual cost of invasive species to the U.S. economy has been estimated at more than $130 billion.
Invaders of Texas was created to increase early detection, reporting and monitoring of invasive species in critical wildlife habitats of Texas, reducing damage to the native landscape and helping to preserve threatened and endangered species. Volunteers use a kit to identify and report invasive species in their area. That information is then validated and delivered into a statewide database and to agency partners who can take action.
The Texas Horned Lizard License Plate is one of four conservation plates that support the work of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Each of these specialty license plates costs $30 (in addition to regular vehicle registration fees), with $22 going to fund conservation efforts across Texas.
All four of TPWD's conservation plates are available for motorcycles and trailers and can be purchased at any time; it's not necessary to wait for a registration renewal notice. Plates can be purchased online or at any county tax office, and will be ready for pickup in about two weeks. More information about the department's conservation plates, including specifics about conservation efforts funded by plate sales, is on the TPWD Web site.

Water vapour: feedback or forcing?
The table shows the instantaneous change in long-wave aborption when each component or combination of components is removed using the radiation code from the GISS GCM. (The source code is available for those who have the patience to get it to work). This isn't a perfect calculation but it's quick and easy and is close enough to the right answer for our purposes. (N.B. This is very similar to what was done by Ramanathan and Coakley (1978) using a single column model – their numbers are in the table for reference). [Update Oct 2010:The numbers in this post have been somewhat updated and published in Schmidt et al (2010). ]. Because of the overlaps, the combined changes are larger than the changes due to each individual component. Another calculation is the instantaneous radiative forcing at the tropopause, but that is complicated for clouds, O3 and Aerosols which have impacts on solar radiation as well as the long wave, so I only give that value for the 'pure' greenhouse gases.
The overlaps complicate things, but it's clear that water vapour is the single most important absorber (between 36% and 66% of the greenhouse effect), and together with clouds makes up between 66% and 85%. CO2 alone makes up between 9 and 26%, while the O3 and the other minor GHG absorbers consist of up to 7 and 8% of the effect, respectively. The remainders and uncertainties are associated with the overlaps which could be attributed in various ways that I'm not going to bother with here. Making some allowance (+/-5%) for the crudeness of my calculation, the maximum supportable number for the importance of water vapour alone is about 60-70% and for water plus clouds 80-90% of the present day greenhouse effect. (Of course, using the same approach, the maximum supportable number for CO2 is 20-30%, and since that adds up to more than 100%, there is a slight problem with such estimates!).
Since we are looking at the whole of the present-day greenhouse effect (around 33 C), it is not surprising that the radiative forcings are very large compared to those calculated for the changes in the forcing. The factor of ~2 greater importance for water vapour compared to CO2 is consistent with the first calculation.
So where does the oft quoted "98%" number come from? This proves to be a little difficult to track down. Richard Lindzen quoted it from the IPCC (1990) report in a 1991 QJRMS review* as being the effect of water vapour and stratiform clouds alone, with CO2 being less than 2%. However, after some fruitless searching I cannot find anything in the report to justify that (anyone?). The calculations here (and from other investigators) do not support such a large number and I find it particularly odd that Lindzen's estimate does not appear to allow for any overlap.
While water vapour is indeed the most important greenhouse gas, the issue that makes it a feedback (rather than a forcing) is the relatively short residence time for water in the atmosphere (around 10 days). To demonstrate how quickly water reacts, I did a GCM experiment where I removed all the water in the atmosphere and waited to see how quickly it would fill up again (through evaporation from the ocean) . The result is shown in the figure. It's not a very exciting graph because the atmosphere fills up very quickly. At Day 0 there is zero water, but after only 14 days, the water is back to 90% of its normal value, and after 50 days it's back to within 1%. That's less than 3 months. Compared to the residence time for perturbations to CO2 (decades to centuries) or CH4 (a decade), this is a really short time.
Only the stratosphere is dry enough and with a long enough residence time (a few years) for the small anthropogenic inputs to be important. In this case (and in this case only) those additions can be considered a forcing. Oxidation of anthropogenic methane (which is a major source of stratospheric water) and, conceviably, direct deposition of water from increases in aircraft in the lower stratosphere, can increase stratospheric water and since that gives a radiative forcing effect, they do appear on the forcings bar chart (under "H2O from CH4"). Some scientists have argued that changes to irrigation and other land use changes (which effect evaporation) are also direct forcings to water vapour amounts, but I think it's cleaner to think of that as an indirect water vapour response to the change.

THIS WEEK: Friday, May 18th 2012 @ 7:30 pm
(Rebroadcast Sunday @ 11 am )
END OF KANSAS AS WE KNOW IT?: "Sending the state to hell in a hand basket…an impending bloodbath…a nuclear explosion that will leave no part of the state immune from the radioactivity of the blast……ending Kansas as we know it." Some of the phrases thrown around in the last week to describe the actions of Kansas lawmakers who sent to the Governor's desk a $3.7 billion tax cut bill which its proponents argue will help grow the Kansas economy and spur growth. So why such apocalyptic, doomsday language being tossed around?
SECRET CEREMONY FOR LIMBUAGH: in a locked chamber guarded by Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers, House Speaker Steve Tilley this week inducts Rush Limbaugh into the Hall of Famous Missourians during an invitation-only ceremony. Democrats were excluded from the unveiling of the bust of the 61- year-old Cape Girardeau native. The ceremony, a departure from the open events held at almost every other induction, took place with GOP staff members using Democratic seats and empty spectator galleries. Media were notified fewer than 30 minutes in advance. Why all the secrecy?
VOTING ON JUDGES: For more than 70 years, Missouri has selected most of its judges using a process that has become a model for the nation. This fall, voters will get the opportunity to change it. The Missouri House has just narrowly passed a proposed constitutional amendment that, if approved by voters this November, would give the governor more control over the selection of judges for the state Supreme Court and state Court of Appeals.
LAND BANK BILL PASSES: It's being viewed as "game changing" legislation for Kansas City. One of the biggest accomplishments of this year's legislative session in Missouri. It's front page news. But why is it important?
UNION EXPOSED: Lavish spending and salaries at a KCK based union are exposed in a Kansas City Star investigation this week. We pick apart the story.
