"I was very disappointed in how we showed up today," Tennessee head coach Dave Serrano said. "I thought both teams were feeling each other out and we didn't do what we needed to do today to come out on top in this series.
"What's so disappointing for me today is the opportunity we had to kind of separate ourselves from other teams in our division and we didn't take advantage. It's just going to make it harder for us down the line and I hope we don't look back and kick ourselves for not taking advantage of the opportunity we had."
Sophomore Nick Williams (2-3) suffered the loss for Tennessee (20-12, 6-6 SEC), yielding four unearned runs on three hits in 4.2 innings. Junior Drew Steckenrider was stellar out of the bullpen once again, striking out four in 2.2 frames. Over the weekend, Steckenrider finished with 10 punchouts in five total innings against the Gamecocks.
Colby Holmes (4-0) picked up the win for South Carolina (23-9, 5-7), tossing seven strong innings in which he allowed one run on four hits. Evan Beal came on in relief to keep the Vols off the board for the final two frames and earn his fifth save of the season.
Fritts hit his second home run of the year in the seventh inning to account for Tennessee's only run in the contest. Steckenrider, Davis Morgan and Zach Osborne recorded the team's only other three hits.
After Williams and Holmes each posted four scoreless frames to open the contest, South Carolina broke through in the fifth, scoring four unearned runs to grab a 4-0 lead. After a leadoff walk, a throwing error on a sac bunt, another successful sacrifice and a second walk loaded the bases for the Gamecocks with just one out. Williams' third walk of the frame then brought in the first run of the game.
South Carolina proceeded to add three more runs on a sacrifice fly by Evan Marzilli, a bunt single by Adam Matthews and another RBI single by Christian Matthews.
The Gamecocks tacked on a pair of insurance run in the home half of the eighth as Joey Pankake and Dante Rosenburg each drove in a run.
The Vols got leadoff singles in the second, third and fourth innings but couldn't move any of them past second. Over the next four innings, the only player to reach base was Fritts on his solo shot in the top of the seventh. Richard Carter and Davis Morgan each drew walks in the ninth, but the Vols couldn't take advantage and stranded both.
Tennessee will look to return to the win column on Wednesday when it travels to Johnson City to take on in-state rival East Tennessee State at 7 p.m.

Re: 1500 W 12V Real Sine Wave Inverters?
I expected problems occasionally from our MSW Magnum. I had one, my Mega Super Extra Big knife and tool sharpener wouldn't start.
It turned out that a piece of sandpaper was jammed in a corner of the tool.
Re: 1500 W 12V Real Sine Wave Inverters?
Yup, SSBs are not going to be happy with an inverter around. Would be interesting if anyone has feedback after switching brands.
Re: 1500 W 12V Real Sine Wave Inverters?
Nothing but perfection from our Magnum.
We had a cheap one first, it didn't last 3 months.
Re: 1500 W 12V Real Sine Wave Inverters?
Victron. Will have to check it out. I have a small pure sine wave inverter (don't remember the brand) which raises hell with my SSB/Pactor signals. I have to turn it off to be able to get Wfax. Thanks for the info.
Re: 1500 W 12V Real Sine Wave Inverters?
Magnum makes a good unit. Victron makes a superb inverter, one of the few that has almost no EFI which means it can run while using your SSB.
Re: 1500 W 12V Real Sine Wave Inverters?
A little late to the discussion, but my two cents: We resell inverters, but excessive return rates on Xantrex make them not worth the bother. Xantrex bought the excellent Heart line many years ago, but they're no longer the same quality, and the Heart guys went off to start Magnum Energy. Xantrex costs a fraction of what the quality units do, but the good ones will last 15, 20 years or (hopefully) more. Interestingly, a charger/inverter costs hardly more than a good inverter once you've hit the 2000w level.
Re: 1500 W 12V Real Sine Wave Inverters?
No, really, I've had the pleasure to meet topologists. Square is square, got those nice neat 90-degree corners and uniform trace lengths. Sine isn't. If you push around the lines on a square wave, you get modified square wave. If you make the picture "fuzzy" and somehow you can blur the lines into something that looks like a sine wave--you get modified sine wave. You can do that, the same way you can make a digital version of analog music, by chopping it up into time slices and approximating the curves.
But modified square wave doesn't do that. No matter how much your squint, it never looks "sinish".
And the folks who push it as MSW, also keep muttering vague mystical spells about how important TSW is. At the same time.
Kinda like a florist trying to convince me a bouquet of roses really SHOULD come with all that fresh manure still clinging to the bottom of the bouquet, you know?
I DO hear you, about MSW working so well. And I suspect the old unit I barely remember was plain square wave, not even modified. Still, real sine wave shouldn't be impossible at a lower price point. I think some of the "no name" brands are probably doing this perfectly well, while the branded players are simply making a much larger profit on their true sine wave products.
If I find a modified version, with a good return policy...maybe I will take the chance.
Re: 1500 W 12V Real Sine Wave Inverters?
Originally Posted by hellosailor View Post
I took a look at Xantrex's web site, found their "Tech Dr" articles. Found that according to the waveform that they post, their Modified Sine Wave is...a crock. It isn't a modified sine wave at all, it is a modified square wave, no way any kind of emulation of a sine wave. A true "modified sine wave" at least uses multiple steps, multiple pulses, not just a simple square wave with delays. No matter how many vendors pretend it is.
So while their own talk says their MSW will run anything just like a real sine wave...I'm not buyin it. Literally or figuratively. Those guys are talking out of both sides of their mouths. I'll gamble on something else. I've had mixed results with square wave in the past, quite some time back in the past, and if it has a money back guarantee...I may gamble, but not with Xantrex. I don't like smoke and mirrors, and anyone who calls a modified square wave "modified sine wave" can be glad I don't work at the FTC.
If anything, I would accuse them of deceptive advertising, for claiming 'true' and 'pure' when it is no such thing. Educate yourself, and make your choice. ALL static inverters are square wave; some are squarer than others.
My central point is this: don't needlessly buy into the hype around 'pure' sine wave inverters. For most applications, their higher resolution is superfluous. I detailed the loads that mislike MSW. We have now run a full household and professional woodworking shop for nine years on the crudest Xantrex MSW waveform available -- seriously, literally, two steps above square wave. And you know what?
We haven't noticed any squareness.
Really. I'm listening right now to the most pristine remastering of Cannonball Adderley playing 'Corcovado', with an RF-noise-free fidelity to make the heart bleed. We're running the dishwasher, two computers, and some CF lights. Square wave? WHAT square wave?
Point is, MSW (call it modified square, call it modified sine) is good enuf for nearly everything you will plug into it.
Here's another piece of hype to watch out for: don't oversize your inverter(s). Where Wh are precious (as aboard a sailboat), you want your inverter to be large enuf to handle your maximum sustained demands -- but no larger.
Inverters near the top of their range are >90% efficient. With loads below 50% rated capacity, you may see 40-50% efficiency. That means you are expending 2 Ah of battery capacity for every 1 Ah you pull thru the inverter. A rare case where overkill is bad policy. Size your inverter to your median demand. If you exceed its limits, it will let you know -- by kicking a thermal circuit breaker.
So I guess my take-away is this: 1) Don't dismiss crude waveforms because they are crude. Semi-square is probably good enuf for your needs. 2) IF you really want 120VAC power aboard a boat at all (and millions of people get by without), choose the smallest inverter (of either type) that will meet your needs.
Counter-intuitive, but true.
(Honestly, you wouldn't believe the number of people who have told me our off-grid setup cannot possibly work. "You can't run a tablesaw off batteries & MSW. You'd need $10k in TSW inverters." But I researched the hell out of this stuff, chose our systems for robustness rather than bleeding-edge technology, and everything has worked just peachy.)
Re: 1500 W 12V Real Sine Wave Inverters?
I've installed, rewired, or replaced inverter/chargers from Xantrex (both Freedom and their newer FreedomHF) and Magnum - all modified sine wave. I have not heard of problems running any load.
Re: 1500 W 12V Real Sine Wave Inverters?
I'm running a xantrex square wave 1000watt inverter onboard. FWIW, no problem running/charging laptop , dvd player, drill battery charger.

Hows it going out there. From the sounds of some of the other threads it looks like you guys have been having a blast!!! I'm not looking for spots or anything I just wanted to know what kind of birds are in the area? Me and my dad have been going out to SD to hunt every year since we moved from there to MN (about 15 years ago). We're going to be in NE SD. Have any of the northern birds come down yet? What about the divers? we had great luck on the blue bills last year. Also with all the rain you got some of our spots in the Huron/De Smet area have water in them now. (we're headed down that way to visit some old freinds the second half of next week) Is anyone having any luck around in that area.
This week can't get over fast enouph. We're coming out on saturday. I hate the week before we leave it always seems like the longest week of the year.
Thanks for any info guys

Google Nexus 7 - microUSB
Kindle Fire HD - HDMI output, microUSB
The Google Nexus 7 keeps its connectivity options very simple. There's a microUSB port, used for transferring files and charging the battery, and little else. Ok, there is a headphone jack too.
Amazon's Kindle Fire HD doesn't add a great deal more, but it does offer a microHDMI video output, for direct connection with a TV or monitor. This ups its credibility as a multimedia device significantly.
Google Nexus 7 - stereo, dual speakers, poor placement for stereo image
Kindle Fire HD - stereo, quad speakers, decent placement for stereo image
One area where the Kindle Fire HD clearly beats the Google Nexus 7 is in internal speaker design. The Google Nexus 7 has two speakers that sit on the bottom of the tablet. Even if they pipe out stereo audio, there's not much chance of anyone being able to discern much of a stereo effect.
The Kindle Fire HD's quad speakers
Amazon has put a lot more effort into the placement of the speakers in the Kindle Fire HD. They sit within a plastic strip on the back of the tablet, with two speakers at each end. Using dual drivers for each side of the stereo output should not only increase body and volume, but also should help avoid the ill effects of resting a palm over the speaker grille. Well done, Amazon.
Google Nexus 7 - 8/16GB, non-expandable
Kindle Fire HD - 16/32GB, non-expandable
The Amazon Kindle Fire HD wins the storage battle, there's no doubt about that. Offering double the memory at the same price, and double the maximum capacity, the Kindle Fire HD can fit a whole load more movies in its memory banks. The low-end 8GB Google Nexus 7 will only be able to hold around five films, and that's at SD resolution.
Neither tablet offers expandable memory, though. Their companies are a little too intent on encouraging you to use their own movie services to let you jam a massive downloaded movie collection on the tablet easily.
Google Nexus 7 - Tegra 3 1.3GHz quad-core, GeForce graphics
Kindle Fire HD - TI OMAP 4460 1.2GHz dual-core. PowerVR graphics
The Amazon Kindle Fire HD processor has been upgraded since the days of the first-generation Kindle, with a faster 1.2GHz clock speed. However, it really doesn't sound too impressive next to the quad-core processor of the Google Nexus 7. We get the feeling Amazon looked at what it needed the Kindle Fire HD to do, and specc'd it accordingly.
It's the same processor that features in the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which in the fast-paced smartphone world is getting on a bit. In benchmarks, it certainly isn't capable of keeping up with the quad-core Tegra 3. It can, however, handle some pretty neat-looking 3D games.
Battery Life
Google Nexus 7 - 8 hours (video), 4,326mAh
Kindle Fire HD - 11hr (claimed)
Battery stamina is a tricky one to measure when you have sets to data that don't quite line up. Our own video test of the Google Nexus 7 showed that it managed a little over eight hours when playing a looped video. Google claims it'll handle up to 10 hours of web browsing, which seems a reasonable enough claim. Amazon seems to suggest the Kindle Fire HD will last a bit longer though - 11 hours.
However, it hasn't yet revealed any proper capacity details, just the hour figure. The Nexus 7 uses a 4,326mAh battery, and we expect the Kindle Fire HD's module will be eerily similar. The first Kindle Fire has a 4400mAh battery.
Google Nexus 7 - Front-facing camera only, 1.2MP
Kindle Fire HD - Front-facing camera only, "HD"
Amazon and Google kept things sensible with cameras. The Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7 have just one camera each, designed to be used for video chatting over Skype and the like.
Asus says that the omission is partly down to cost, but we like to think that it's a choice of taste too. Cameras on tablets are kinda lame - we all know it's true.
Tablets that are at the same time quite different and eerily similar, we think that both the Amazon Kindle Fire HD and Google Nexus 7 are rather fantastic. Great screens, great value and enough grunt under the bonnet to keep things ticking over nicely virtually ensure them a good reception.
In pure value terms, the improved speakers and greater storage of the Kindle Fire HD mean it's a bit more attractive to tech novices. However, real gadget lovers will appreciate having the full Android Jelly Bean OS to play with, and access to Google Play over the Amazon Appstore.

This is my first ever Boba related project and my first time using/casting with fiberglass.
It started out as a plaster casting of a 95 DP helmet, but I resculpted the dent and the whole back keyhole section (The plaster casting for the keyhole section was ruined by air-bubbles on the mold )
With JD's help via phone and e-mails (Thanks again Loren!), I was able to make a 3-part mold and casted 2 helmets, the first one was too thin and because of being impatient I broke it when I pulled it from the mold. The one here is the second helmet next to the DP after some more sanding and bondo work.
I still have more work on it, but here it is so far with taped on resin ear-pieces:

House Rules Committee votes to ban guns at State House
Republican members of the House voted to take the matter to the floor when the Rules Committee recommendation must be voted on by the rank and file.
The Democratic-controlled committee voted to reinstate the ban on guns, which was lifted by a vote of the Republican Legislature two years ago.
The rule applies to sections of the State House controlled by the House of Representatives. The proposal now goes to the rank and file on the first day of the new legislative term Jan. 2.
Several Republicans who do not serve on the Rules Committee said they intend to wage a fight over the issue but conceded that they face an uphill battle.

COKIE AND STEVEN ROBERTS: Celebrating the art of compromise
Compromise is one of the noblest words in the political lexicon. Especially when power is divided between the parties, as it is now, governing a country this vast and diverse is virtually impossible unless lawmakers bring a certain level of trust and flexibility to the bargaining table.
Too often in today's Washington, too many legislators — in both parties — refuse to acknowledge this basic truth. Too often, compromise is equated with betrayal, even treason. But without it, the machinery of democracy seizes up and breaks down.
That's why the immigration reform bill that recently emerged from the Senate Judiciary Committee on a 13-to-5 vote was such a heartening development. A bipartisan "Gang of Eight" — four Republicans and four Democrats — forged a reasonable, common sense package and then defended it against attacks from both sides. The center survived.
Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the chief conservative critic of the measure, expressed his frustration at the Gang of Eight's success to the Washington Post: "They announced ... that they would rally around and defeat any amendment that would alter their agreement. The core has held, and the bill is coming forward to the floor of the Senate with not a lot of changes."
There is a long way to go. A fusillade of amendments will assail the bill when it hits the Senate floor in June, and hard-line conservatives in the House are plotting to torpedo the entire effort. But there's a real possibility that the core will keep holding, and the bill will become law later this year.
Four challenges to the immigration measure show how compromise can work in practice: how consensus-building is not entirely dead in a capital that often seems gripped by holy war. The first challenge came from the left and involved the rights of legally married gay couples.
A citizen can easily gain a green card or permanent residency for a non-American spouse of the opposite sex. But same-sex couples do not have the same right, and gay activists lobbied hard for an amendment that would grant them equality.
That's certainly a worthy goal, but in a compromise nobody gets everything they want. Liberals had to face a harsh fact: Giving gay couples equal rights was a deal breaker for Republicans. "To try to redefine marriage within the immigration bill would mean the bill would fall apart," said Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, a key member of the Gang of Eight.
Then there were the numbers. Perhaps 30,000 gay couples could benefit from a marriage amendment, but many millions of illegal immigrants could potentially gain citizenship from the bill that the amendment would jeopardize. The cost-benefit calculus was clear. The amendment was withdrawn.
The second challenge came from the right: a strong push to make a path for citizenship contingent on enhanced border security. The Gang of Eight accepted some modest suggestions from Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the panel's senior Republican, but rejected targets for severely reduced immigration flows that would have been impossible to meet.
The third challenge was posed by organized labor and concerned visas for foreign-born graduates of American universities with STEM degrees (science, technology engineering and math). The original measure doubled the number of visas granted annually, but unions pushed the sponsors to make them harder to use by high-tech companies.
Those companies lobbied fiercely to ease those new restrictions and Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, said he could not support the bill unless the limits were alleviated. Democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York faced a tough choice: side with the unions or win Hatch's vote. They went with Hatch and broadened the coalition backing the bill.
The fourth challenge involves the use of facts. There is an extremely pernicious notion out there that facts don't exist — that there's no such thing as independent reality, just subjective opinion. The Heritage Foundation, an influential conservative think tank, issued a report alleging that the immigration bill would cost American taxpayers more than $6 trillion. But even fellow conservatives could not swallow the report's total disregard for the clear consensus among professional experts that immigration boosts economic growth.
Former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour dismissed the report as "a political document. It's not a serious analysis." That's exactly what it was, and to their credit, most committee members rejected it as ideology, not evidence.
The committee action was one victory in a long war, but any time the spirit of compromise wins in Washington these days, it's worth celebrating.

AMES, Iowa – Want to be trendy in 2014? Then eat more kale. This dark leafy green vegetable is considered to be a "nutritional powerhouse" and is high on the list of nutrition trends for the new year, said Sarah Francis, an Iowa State University assistant professor and ISU Extension and Outreach nutrition specialist.
All fruits and vegetables are healthy and provide a variety of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, the compounds that protect cells from damage. However, kale is marketed as one of the healthiest vegetables for humans. It's part of the Brassica family, which includes other cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts.
"MyPlate recommends that we eat 1 ½ cups to 2 cups of dark green vegetables each week," Francis said.
About kale's "powerhouse" status, Francis said one cup of chopped kale provides 684 percent of the daily value of vitamin K, 206 percent of vitamin A and 134 percent of vitamin C.
"Kale's health benefits are attributed to its off-the-chart levels of these vitamins and antioxidants. Vitamin K is known for its role in blood clotting, but it also helps with bone health and acts as an antioxidant. Vitamin K has been shown to help lower the overall risk of getting or dying from cancer, as well," Francis said.
However, the vitamin K content of kale can interfere with blood thinning medications, such as warfarin. Francis cautioned that anyone taking a blood thinner should talk with his or her health care professional before eating kale.
Kale's eye health and anticancer benefits are linked to its concentration of two antioxidants: carotenoids and flavonoids. Two of the carotenoids found in kale, lutein and zeaxanthin, help promote eye health, including protecting against macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older adults. In addition, kale contains more than 45 flavonoids. This broad variety of flavonoids likely contributes to kale's cancer preventive benefits, Francis noted.
Eating kale also helps to lower blood cholesterol levels, which in turn lowers the risk of heart disease, Francis added.
"Despite its many health benefits, kale has oxalates, which can interfere with calcium absorption. So it's important to eat calcium-rich foods at different times than when eating kale," Francis said.
"Try including kale in your diet by adding it to recipes," Francis said. The recipe for vegetable soup with kale and lentils is available from SpendSmart, EatSmart on the ISU Extension and Outreach website, http://www.extension.iastate.edu/foodsavings/recipes/vegetable-soup-kale....

Figuring Out What's Wrong
If a plant in your garden has, say, leaves that are turning yellow or black spots on its fruit, how can you tell what's causing the problem—an insect, a disease, a nutrient imbalance, or something else?
Start by ruling out insect damage and cultural problems. Inspect the plant carefully, using a magnifying lens. If it's an insect problem, you can usually find some evidence of the insects on the plants. Review the symptoms of nutrient deficiencies and consider recent unusual weather patterns and nearby sources of pollution.
If you can rule out insects and cultural problems, then you'll need to consider diseases or other kinds of disorders. Become familiar with the general types of plant diseases and the common disease problems in your area. Or you can consult books on plant diseases and garden problem solving, which often are organized by plant and list the diseases that each can get.
A Who's Who of Plant Pathogens
Microorganisms that can cause diseases include fungi, bacteria, viruses, and pathogenic nematodes.
Fungi: Fungi are primitive plants. They don't have chlorophyll, the pigment that allows green plants to convert sunlight and air into food. Instead, fungi obtain nutrients by inserting special rootlike structures (called haustoria) into host plants or dead organic matter. Many fungi live on and decompose dead organic materials. These beneficial fungi are an important ally in the garden. Parasitic fungi, on the other hand, are a leading cause of plant disease. Some attack only one species of plants, while others attack a wide array of plants.
Fungi produce tiny spores that are spread by wind, water, insects, and gardeners. Spores germinate to form mycelia—the body of the fungus. Mycelia rarely survive winter, but spores easily survive from season to season.
It's often easy to spot signs of fungi—mushrooms are the most common example. Often the structures that produce fungal spores look like dots or discolored areas on leaves, stems, or fruit. These structures are one of the best ways to distinguish fungal diseases from other plant problems.
Bacteria: Most bacteria are beneficial—they help to break down dead organic matter. Some, however, cause plant diseases. Bacteria usually reproduce asexually—the cells simply split in half. Bacteria spread via wind, water, insects, garden tools, and gardeners' hands. Bacterial diseases are usually more difficult to control than fungal diseases, and they spread more quickly than other types of diseases. You need a microscope to see actual bacterial cells, but some of the disease symptoms they cause, such as dark streaks on leaves or stems and bacterial slime are easy to see with the naked eye. (The slime often smells bad, too.)
Nematodes: Nematodes swim freely in the film of moisture surrounding soil particles and plant roots. A few types are barely visible to the naked eye. Many nematodes do not cause plant diseases and are important members of the soil community. In fact, beneficial nematodes often prey on the nematodes that attack plants.
Parasitic nematodes can be very destructive. They lay eggs that hatch into tiny larvae. Larvae molt several times before maturing to adults. Nematodes puncture plant cell walls, inject saliva, and suck out the cell's contents. Some species move from plant to plant to feed; others attach themselves permanently to one root. They can travel short distances on their own but are spread through the garden by water and on tools or gardeners' hands.
Viruses: Viruses are so small, they're difficult to see even with a microscope. Viruses are not complete cells and must be inside living cells of a host in order to reproduce. The symptoms they cause vary widely from distorted growth to mottling of leaves to stunting. Viruses are transmitted by vegetative propagation, in seeds and pollen, and on tools and gardeners' hands. Viruses are also transmitted by aphids and other insects, mites, nematodes, and parasitic plants.
Natural Defenses Against Disease
There may be hundreds of species of disease organisms in your garden soil or living in weeds in and around your yard. However, even though disease-causing organisms are nearly always present, that doesn't mean that your garden crops and ornamentals will develop a disease. Untold millions of potential diseases never amount to anything, because conditions aren't favorable for their development.
Plants have intriguing defenses that help protect them from infection. Leaves have a waxy coating called the cuticle that prevents them from staying wet, making it hard for disease-causing organisms to survive. The leaf cuticle may also prevent spore germination and slow the penetration of disease-causing organisms. Leaf hairs trap spores and hold them away from the surface of the leaf. Some leaf hairs actually secrete chemicals that prevent spores from germinating or sticky substances that help catch pathogens and/or the insects that transmit them. Leaves also exude substances that promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms that compete for space with, or are antagonistic to, pathogens.
Plants can also spring to their own defense when pathogens try to invade. For example, some plants can form a corky layer of tissue around the site of attack. Other plants may seal off the diseased part, which then dies along with the disease organisms.
Plants also have natural chemical defenses that repel or damage the pathogens themselves. Some of these defenses are present all the time and some are "turned on" when disease-causing organisms are present.
The discovery of these natural defense mechanisms (and more new discoveries are still being made) has been of great benefit to organic farmers and gardeners, because plant breeders can select for these mechanisms when they're working to develop disease-resistant cultivars. It also appears that products containing harpin and other plant growth promoters help to prevent disease by triggering plants to turn on their natural chemical defenses.
Preventing Diseases
Most of the time, simple preventive controls will stop disease problems from developing or limit their severity. In a few instances, you may have to resort to spraying substances such as neem or sulfur to prevent a disease from ruining a plant or crop. These substances are considered organic because they derive from natural sources—however they are not innocuous. For example, sulfur can burn plant leaves, and spraying sulfur too often can cause soil imbalances that harm beneficial soil organisms.
Smart Gardening Helps
The smartest way to help prevent disease problems in your garden is simply to take good care of your plants. It also pays to take simple steps that avoid the risk of infection. Some of the most important smart gardening practices to prevent diseases are listed here.
- Build up soil organic matter content, and correct nutrient imbalances.
- In the vegetable garden, interplant crops and use crop rotation if you can.
- Some disease problems can be avoided by planting earlier or later than usual.
- Prune your plants at the proper time of year and thin out growth as needed throughout the growing season to promote good air circulation around plants.
- Put up a barrier against insects such as leafhoppers and cucumber beetles that spread disease by covering crops with row covers from seeding until harvest when possible.
Clean Gardening Helps
Fungi, bacteria, and other pathogens have evolved many ways of surviving cold temperatures or other unfavorable conditions. They may spend winter inside the bodies of insects or in the soil—even in bits of soil clinging to tools stored in a garden shed. Some can survive winter in infected plant debris, seeds, or plant tissue. A few widespread diseases can produce "resting spores" that stay dormant in the soil for years until conditions are right or a host plant is planted in the area.
Many good gardening practices help prevent disease because they prevent disease organisms from overwintering and spreading from place to place during the gardening season. You probably already take some of these steps routinely in your garden.
- Choose disease-resistant or tolerant cultivars, and make sure all transplants and seeds you plant are free of disease.
- Stay out of your garden when the leaves are wet because disease organisms spread easily in wet conditions.
- Avoid damaging plants, as every wound is an opening for disease to enter.
- Clean and disinfect tools, hands, and feet regularly, whether you are working with diseased material or not.
- Do an annual fall garden cleanup.
- Dispose of diseased material throughout the season. Pull up plants or prune off infected portions, and get rid of them by burning, putting them in sealed containers for disposal with household trash, burying them deeply, or putting them in the center of a hot compost pile.
Growth Promoters Help
Going beyond the basics of maintaining healthy plants and a clean garden, you can apply homemade and commercially produced sprays that will make your plants even more resistant to disease problems. These products are different from fungicides, which work by killing fungal spores via toxic or caustic chemicals. Instead, these growth-promoting sprays work by stimulating beneficial microorganisms, and seemingly by triggering plants to turn on their own natural defense systems.
Homemade sprays: Compost tea is one of the homemade sprays that help boost plant defenses. Applying sprays of seaweed extract or comfrey tea may have similar beneficial effects. Learn more about making compost tea. Make comfrey tea using a similar method, but dilute comfrey tea half-and-half with water before applying. A homemade garlic spray may work by killing spores on plant surfaces. Mix 5 to 10 cloves with 1 pint of water in a blender, strain, and spray on plants.
Harpin: Harpin is a protein that reportedly stimulates plant defense systems, and some commercial products are available with harpin as the active ingredient. It has no reported adverse side effects on plants or the environment, but it has not been listed for use by certified organic growers.
Fighting Disease
For organic gardeners, the two primary ways to fight disease are to take steps to kill spores in the soil or on plant surfaces—before the spores infect roots or leaves. Soil solarization kills many types of disease spores, along with some pests and weed seeds. Applying biocontrol agents to soil or plants can kill or outcompete pathogens. And as a last resort, sulfur and copper sprays will kill spores and in some cases even prevent a disease organism from spreading within a plant.
The more you learn about the common disease problems in your area, the less often you'll need to resort to using dusts and sprays. Keep records of the disease problems that occur in your garden, or ask fellow gardeners what diseases to expect in your area and when to expect them. This way, you can limit spraying or dusting to those seasons and weather conditions when your plants are most vulnerable to becoming infected.
It's also important to make sure you know what disease you're trying to control by applying a spray or dust. If you run into a problem that you can't identify, submit a fresh plant sample to a diagnostic laboratory or your local extension office for identification.
Always take appropriate safety precautions when applying sprays and dusts; see the Pests entry for guidelines. The following descriptions of disease-control methods and products are arranged from least to most toxic.
Soil Solarization
If an area of your vegetable garden has been troubled by disease, or if you plan to start a new planting of any kind and are concerned about soil-borne diseases, consider solarizing the soil before you plant. You'll need to plan ahead, because it's important to solarize soil during the hottest period of the year if you live in the North.
Solarizing is a simple procedure: You tightly cover the soil with clear plastic for 1 to 2 months. This can generate high enough temperatures in the top 6 to 12 inches of soil to kill many disease organisms, nematodes, pest insects, and weed seeds. The beneficial effects seem to last for several seasons. The illustration at right shows how to prepare a bed for solarizing. For even better results, support a second layer of plastic on wire hoops over the covered bed to provide added insulation.
Midsummer is the best time to solarize soil, especially in the North. Cultivate and remove crop residues from the soil, rake it smooth, and water if it is dry. Dig a trench several inches deep around the bed, and spread thin clear plastic film (1 to 4 mils) over the bed. Press the plastic into close contact with the soil, and seal the edges by filling the trench with soil. Leave in place for 1 to 2 months, then remove the plastic.
Biological Controls
One of the most exciting areas of plant disease research focuses on using naturally occurring bacteria and fungi to fight against plant pathogens. The bacterium Bacillus subtilis kills or outcompetes the fungus that causes powdery mildew as well as some other plant pathogens. The fungus Trichoderma harzianum (sold as RootShield) kills the pathogen Rhizoctonia (one of the many fungi that cause damping-off). Trichoderma locates Rhizoctonia by a chemical the pathogen releases, then it attacks the damaging fungi and destroys it. In a study testing biological fungicides on vinca plants, researchers at Clemson University found that greenhouse plants treated with SoilGard (Gliocladium virens) had excellent shoot and root growth and were the equal of those treated with chemical fungicides.
Among the most beneficial root-inhabiting organisms, antibiotic-producing mycorrhizal fungi (sold as BioVam) cover plant roots to protect against pathogens, forming a "fungal mat," which also increases nutrient-uptake ability.
A thorough spray of vegetable or light horticultural oil coats plant surfaces, acting as a barrier to infection. Oils seem to help prevent fungal rusts and mildews.
Garlic appears to be a fungicide as well as an insecticide. Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) infusion sprayed on plants may help prevent fungal diseases.
Bicarbonate Sprays
Commercial products containing potassium bicarbonate (such as GreenCure) and homemade baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) sprays prevent fungal spores from establishing themselves on plants and may even prevent established fungi from continuing to develop. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 drop liquid soap in 2 quarts of water, mix well, and spray on plants. A higher concentration isn't better: If these sprays are too concentrated, they may burn plant foliage.
An oil extracted from the seeds of the neem tree is an ingredient in many products formulated to kill a wide variety of pest insects. Neem oil also is effective at killing some types of fungal disease spores.
Direct contact with sulfur prevents the development of disease organisms. However, it also damages important soil microorganisms and beneficial insects and is moderately toxic to mammals, including humans. Apply sulfur sparingly, and always take appropriate safety precautions.
Both a plain spray mix of elemental sulfur and mixtures of sulfur and other substances are effective preventive fungicides. Powdered sulfur is almost insoluble in water. Wettable sulfur has been finely ground with a wetting agent and is easier to use. Liquid sulfur is the easiest to dissolve. Sulfur also can be applied as a dust or as a fumigant.
Adding lime to sulfur increases its effectiveness as a fungicide. Lime allows the sulfur to penetrate leaves and kill recently germinated disease spores. However, lime sulfur sprays are more likely to damage plant tissue than are plain sulfur sprays. Certified organic growers must follow strict guidelines when using sulfur for disease control.
At temperatures above 85°F, sulfur can injure plant tissues. Combining sulfur and oil also causes damage to growing plants. A combination of oil and lime sulfur can be applied to dormant trees.
Copper is a powerful, nonspecific fungicide that kills disease organisms. It damages beneficial soil microorganisms and beneficial insects and is more toxic than sulfur to plants. Repeated applications of any copper product will stunt plants. Copper sulfate is classified as very toxic to humans. Organic gardeners often choose to avoid copper fungicides when possible because of their negative effects on nonpest species.
Copper is available as a powder or liquid. Fixed-copper fungicides are available as dusts or sprayable solutions.

Hello all.
I am working on a sculpt of one of the two unidentified greeblies, but have not given up hope on actually identifying the found part. So with this in mind I am asking anyone who may have a back ground working with compressed air lines or gas fittings to have a good look.
The part looks to me like it is made of brass, with a red anodized knurled section. I did think it was an audio jack plug, but the brass material brings makes it much more likely to be a gas or air line fitting - as suggested by the label. With the knurled section tigtening/attaching to something.
Anyone got any thoughts?
Would be great to get it nailed down as most parts have been identified.
The one bottom right and also dotted about from different angles.

"I got hooked the first time I visited," says Steilacoom, Washington, resident Robyn Shalikashvili. "I drove around the corner through a tunnel of trees, and saw amazing blue water and every inch of the Olympic Mountains." At each turn in this tiny hamlet of 6,200 people, she found another engaging vista. The town's appeal inspired Robyn to move here in 1998.
Steilacoom (pronounced STILL-a-come), about 45 miles southwest of Seattle, was once a bustling frontier port. The state's oldest incorporated municipality, it celebrated its 150th birthday in 2004. Even so, in one resident's words, "The town's kind of a secret. Some people think you need a passport to get here."
It's more likely you'd need a time machine. Along Lafayette, the town's main street, the small red-swirled pole of a barbershop catches your eye. Nearby, The Bair Restaurant & Catering's old-fashioned soda fountain serves up thick malts. And at the Steilacoom Historical Museum, Brad and Patricia Randall labor to preserve period clothing, photographs, farming implements, woodworking tools, and some stuff you'd be hard-pressed to guess what the heck it did. (Though they can tell you who owned it and where the owner's family currently resides.)
The town wasn't always so serene. "An old newspaper clipping warned of wild and woolly Steilacoom," Patricia says. "Saloons used to outnumber everything else."
Today, the only night crawlers are sold as bait near the ferry landing, and you'll find few speed limits over 30. "We're walkers and talkers," says Mayor Ron Lucas. "No one moves fast, because you're always stopping to talk with someone."
Such community spirit explains how local volunteers logged more than 10,000 hours helping schools last year. "Volunteers mentored students, worked with sports teams, helped in the library," says Town Administrator Paul Loveless.
Steilacoom's stunning location shows why the Fourth of July celebration draws up to 18,000 people every summer. "It always gets written up as one of the best shows on Puget Sound," Paul says. "Imagine fireworks going off over Sunnyside Beach with the water, Narrows Bridge, and the Kitsap Peninsula as the backdrop."
Yet another aspect sweetened Robyn's move to Steilacoom eight years ago. She loved her native, rural, inland Washington town. "But here, there are all types of people, and our community is very diverse," she says. "That means a lot to me for my three boys, now 6, 10, and 12. I wouldn't want to raise them anyplace else."

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with Cesc Fabregas' stunner against AC Milan in 2008.
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
Fabregas v AC Milan (A) 03-04-2008
In 2008, Arsenal had crashed out of the Carling Cup and FA Cup at the hands of Tottenham and Manchester United respectively. So when they drew 0-0 at home to AC Milan in the Champions League, you couldn't blame them if their nerves were frayed a bit. But as in 2003 against Inter, the San Siro would play host to a remarkable Arsenal performance highlighted by a remarkable goal.
Just as in the first leg, Arsenal dominated the Rossoneri and deserved to be in front. But with six minutes remaining, the deadlock was still unbroken and their outlook in the Champions League was looking grim.
Enter Cesc Fabregas. With time running down, Alex Hleb initiated the attack by dispossessing Andrea Pirlo and finding the Spaniard inside the center circle. Fabregas burst forward and blew past Gennaro Gattuso. He was still 30 yards from goal but still let fly. The ball bounced once and sailed beyond the grasp of Zeljko Kalac into the bottom corner.
The traveling fans erupted and Fabregas slid on his knees in celebration in front of the dug-out. It was truly a moment to behold.
Emmanuel Adebayor added another in the final minute to seal a well-deserved win and passage to the Quarter Final. The game marked Milan's first home defeat by an English club, and for a while, it also convinced Arsenal fans that 2008 could be their year in Europe.

PVC Building projects
As experienced preppers, we have often used PVC pipe to create caches to store emergency items around our property and in strategic locations between work and home. But I've been amazed at how many times we've been able to use PVC to create needed items around our farm. We often have excess PVC pipe laying around, generally excess pieces left over from water line repairs and the like.
PVC pipe comes in a wide assortment of lengths and widths. They have connectors that allow them to be assembled into almost any form or structure. The hollow pipes are lightweight, slightly flexible and capable of conducting liquid and air. Easy to cut, PVC pipe can be used to create skeleton forms for so a myriad of uses. And, it plays into our motto of reduce, reuse and recycle.
See if you can build some of these ten garden structures with PVC irrigation pipe and connectors. Not only is it easy to construct what you want, but it will be inexpensive and you can simply disassemble the pieces when you are done. Or you can glue pieces together for a more stable, permanent construction.

At the 30th reunion of Minnesota's Darton Hall College class of 1969, 10 old friends join their classmates for a July weekend of dancing, drinking, flirting, reminiscing, and regretting. The three decades since their graduation have seen marriage and divorce, children and careers, hopes deferred and abandoned. Two best friends toast their ex-husbands with vodka and set out for a good time. A damaged war veteran opens his soul to a Republican trophy wife recovering from a radical mastectomy. An overweight mop manufacturer with a large yet failing heart reignites his passion for a hyperkinetic housewife. And whispering in the background is the elusive Johnny Ever, part cynical angel, part conscience, the cosmic soul of ages past and ages future.
Winner of the National Book Award for his classic novel Going After Cacciato, Tim O'Brien once again strikes at the emotional nerve center of our lives. With humor and a sense of wistful hope, July, July speaks directly to our unique American character and our unique resilience.
©2002 Tim O'Brien; (P)2002 Houghton Mifflin Company
"Experienced audiobook reader Sanders offers a smooth and knowing delivery. His cynical, dry, yet humorous tone perfectly matches O'Brien's prose." (Publishers Weekly)
"Jay O. Sanders does not attempt different voices for different characters, yet he modulates his tones so skillfully that you always know who is speaking and why." (AudioFile)
"Not my Favorite"
Tim O'Brien is one of America's greatest literary talents. He speaks eloquently for those of us who came to maturity in the late 60s and early 70s, and especially for those of us who struggled with the issues presented by the war in Vietnam. But this book -- I don't know what to say. If I view the damaged souls of his class of '69 as metaphor, then maybe it works, but it's a stretch. These people are a depressing mess who need badly to get over themselves, and to me, they are just not very real. If they are, I sure don't want to hang out with them at their class reunion. I hope for Mr. O'Brien that this is more ironic fantasy than it is reflective of any personal experience. Ugh.

Thanks Nava, this recommendation is just what I was looking for. A week or so ago I finally decided to get a spiralizer after seeing them featured on several blogs for the past year or so. I ordered this one through your link. The possibilities go beyond raw cuisine. I was thinking of trying this in my Chesapeake Zuke Cakes, which are a variation on the zucchini "crabless cake" theme (since I'm from Baltimore, these are a must, hon!)Usually zucchini cake recipes call for shredding and the results can be quite watery, so I want to experiment with spiral "ribbons" and see if it makes a difference in the outcome. Oh and in addition, I need me some curly fries!
World Cuisine Tri-Blade Spiral Slicer: A Review
As the weather gets warmer, I like to add more raw food to my daily fare. Last year, I was particularly intrigued with the idea of making raw "noodles" from zucchini and summer squash, as I'd seen demonstrated in a number of raw food videos and books such as Mimi Kirk's Live Raw.*
To be honest, I doubt that zucchini—even raw—is as nutritious as pasta, which at least can boast protein and B vitamins; but in my case it has been more a matter of feeling lighter and digesting better. And anything noodle-y, whether made of squash or some sort of flour, can serve as the backdrop for nutritious sauces like Spinach-Miso Pesto.
I decided to invest in one, and found that the World Cuisine Spiral Slicer,* at about $35, seems to be the most popular and well-rated on Amazon.com. The people have clearly spoken!
This spiral slicer comes with three changeable blades. It's lightweight yet durable, and easy to clean. It takes mere minutes, if not seconds, to accomplish the task at hand, and all this is done with a hand-crank—no electric power needed. Here is the result of some of my experimenting, and what I did with them:
- Basic zucchini noodles (Top, at the beginning of this post)—here's how they look coming out of the machine, using the fine blade.
- Zucchini noodles in a bowl. Aren't they pretty? Here's a way to use them: Raw Squash "Noodles" with Fresh Tomato Sauce.
- The slicer blade makes long, very thin spirals from cucumber. A very crisp cucumber is a must for this. I cut the long pieces (or was it all one piece?) into bite-sized segments and marinated them in rice vinegar and a little natural granulated sugar. After an hour or so, I poured most of the liquid off and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
- The same slicer blade made these pretty potato spirals. They're so even and thin, this would probably be an incredible way to make homemade potato chips in the oven.
- Slicer blade, part three—I sliced an apple, and though it didn't make spirals, it made super-thin slices that might appeal to toddlers and young children. These paper-thin slices would be perfect for using in raw apple desserts. A dehydrator would make quick work drying these, or you can bake them in the oven at a low temperature to make apple chips.
- The larger spiral blade made quick work of an onion—and it was tear-free! These would be nice added to roasted vegetable medleys, or sautéed until golden as a start for a stir-fry or for topping pizza.
One major disappointment is that this tool comes with scant information, and no recipes. There's a one-page flyer that comes with it, plus instructions printed on the box. Most enterprising cooks (or raw food enthusiasts, as the case may be) can figure it out, and find creative ways to use this machine, but more info would have been useful.
As I was experimenting, it occurred to me that making all these neat shapes and spirals from veggies (as well as fruits—see the apple slices, below) can make produce of all sorts more enticing to kids and other finicky eaters. Let your kids help make these fun vegetable cuts, and I doubt they'd be able to resist eating them. Please supervise kids, and tell them to keep their fingers away from the blades, which are super-sharp. And do the same when you rinse the blade plates—if you see something stuck in a blade, dig it out with a fork or knife, not your fingers!
Bottom line—can I live without this spiral slicer? Definitely. It's not a must-have like my dearly loved and daily used Vitamix. Do I recommend it? Most definitely! While it's not something a healthy kitchen can't do without, it's great fun, and for anyone who enjoys "noodling around" in the kitchen (pun intended), and finding more ways to prepare produce, the small investment is worth making.

Hi Nava, We got our spiral slicer on sale and loving working with it. Already understood about the potato curly fries not coming out as well as expected by a blogger. That didn't effect our decision because of all the fun things you can do with it for veggie spaghettis, sides and salads.
Hello Nava, this post is of the reasons why I bought my own "slicer." Thank you so much!

holiday essentials
June 13th, 20120
Summer is struggling to get started but that doesn't stop us from planning our escape from this very green and pleasant land to somewhere HOTTER!
It is fast approaching summer holiday time, so even if the weather is changeable, we can keep ourselves busy with a few holiday brochures, or some holiday destination research on the internet. Most of us look forward to our holiday all year, what nicer feeling is there than stepping off a plane, greeted by warm air and also knowing that you will wake up to blue skies and sun? So forget all this funny old British weather and think golden beaches, long cocktails, amazing sunsets and al fresco dining.
We have some great Pepperberry pieces to get you in the holiday mood. We all have a habit when packing to panic and stuff our case with too many clothes and accessories, but the trick is to choose wisely and choose interchangeable pieces. Essential items for your suitcase are a great pair of black patent wedges, a pair of nude high heeled sandals, a pair of flat tan leather thong sandals, one or two statement necklaces (see below) and one great piece of swimwear (see Bravissimo.com).
The Linen Roll Sleeve Shirt is an essential part of your holiday wardrobe. Linen travels well and will still look stylish day or night. This shirt would be great for the evenings (when you want to cover up) and can be worn over a bikini (late in the afternoon on the beach). It will also look great with our Shimmer Shorts in gold, for an evening look with heels. It has a waist tie that can be adjusted, side vents and sleeves that can be rolled up for a more relaxed look and it's available in white or cornflower. The Ethnic Bib Necklace, which is made from semi precious stones, will look stunning with this shirt.
The Tile Print Dress is a gorgeous chiffon dress and perfect for a holiday. It is cut under the bust with a wrap and tie front which flatters the boobs and tummy area. The print is an eye catching Italian geometric print, available in multi. This dress will look great with the Jersey Shrug in raspberry and with the Ethnic Bib Necklace.
The Bright Flower Jersey Dress just screams 'Summer Hols'. The large flower print is just gorgeous and the vibrant turquoise, purple and lime colours used in the flower print, make this dress a real summer statement dress. The cross over top is really flattering and there is a twist detail at the waist. It also can be worn with the Jersey Shrug in raspberry for a great summer evening cover-up.
Two very pretty summer tops for your holiday wardrobe are the Spot Flower Top in Caramel which has a embroidered flower trim, combined with a spot print. It is cut under the bust and has smock detailing at the back, this top can be worn with the Shimmer Shorts in gold and the Jersey Shrug in raspberry. Top number two, is the Embellished Sun Top in coral which is a perfect daytime top. It has an ethnic feel with the small flower print and contrasting blue embroidery, small pleated detail, with mock button detailing. The coral colour of this top, will work perfectly with the raspberry colour of the Jersey Shrug.
For your complete summer suitcase, you could add the Embellished Silk Shift Dress, which is a stunning silk shift dress, with large vibrant flower print and sequined embellishment. This dress would be perfect for any special nights out.

LAHAINA-The storyline from Maui is going to be that Carolina didn't learn very much about itself on this trip. In a three-day event intended to provide the best window yet into the identity of the 2012-13 Tar Heels, Carolina outclassed undermanned Mississippi State, stumbled against Butler, and then won a glorified exhibition game against Chaminade on Wednesday, 112-70.
That's not exactly the formidable RPI-boosting lineup you envisioned when you first looked at the schedule.
But maybe we will remember this trip for something else: it was the time in P.J. Hairston's career when we realized he is not a shooter.
That might sound like an insult, but it's actually high praise. He's not just a shooter. Hairston did score on this trip. He put up 43 points in Maui, which trailed only Reggie Bullock's 51. Stretch it out to the Long Beach State game, and Hairston scored 57 points in 63 minutes, the best stretch of consistent scoring in his Carolina career. In his freshman season, he never had three straight double-digit scoring games, and he posted back-to-back 10+ point performances only twice.
But we all kind of suspected he could score, didn't we? You'd watched him in pregame warmups at the Smith Center, you knew his high school reputation, and you had to believe his 30.8% shooting as a freshman was the product of nothing more than a first-year player who needed to find a rhythm.
Even then, though, the suspicion was that he was just a sniper, someone who was going to stand around the three-point line and fire long jumpers, hopefully at a very high rate of proficiency. In Maui, he showed a more diverse offensive approach. On one drive against Mississippi State, he used his left hand to score in the lane. For the three-game event, he took eight free throws, converting seven-significant because Carolina has not been a great free throw shooting team, and needs its best shooter from the line (yes, that's Hairston) to get there as much as possible. Hairston's eight attempts trailed only the nine from Dexter Strickland, but the senior made just four of them.
"It keeps the defense off balance when they have to respect that you can do some different things," Hairston said. "I want them to have to play me as more than a three-point shooter."
Despite all the scoring success, though, it turns out that Hairston is also capable of doing something other than putting the ball in the basket. He had 12 rebounds in Maui (tied with Bullock for the best among the Tar Heel wings and perimeter players), with five assists and just one turnover. He created a Chaminade turnover when he forced a held ball. He passed up an open look at a three-pointer to find Luke Davis, who had an even more open look. When Jackson Simmons worked hard to establish good post position in the second half, Hairston rewarded him with a nice lead entry pass that led to an easy hoop.
Even on the plays when he didn't necessarily get credit on the stat sheet, he still made an impact-midway through the second half, he helped the Tar Heels secure an offensive rebound by tipping the ball to keep it alive.
In some ways, he's making similar progress to what Bullock showed as a sophomore-doing some of the smaller things that will endear him to the coaching staff and eventually earn him more than the 15.7 minutes per game he's received through the first six contests. Remember, even Bullock wasn't getting Bullock-esque minutes early last season. If Hairston continues to make the all-around contributions he made in Maui, and can perform as consistently as he did on the island, he will be on the floor more frequently.
And yes, the head coach has noticed. "I think we found out that going small sometimes might be one of our better lineups," Williams said after the win over the Silverswords. "Particularly on the offensive end of the court. We played P.J. today as a four."
Maybe, here in Maui, we learned that Hairston is a four. He's earned the right to be called something other than just a shooter.

3) Combining swarms - I've gotten a lot of swarms and i am at the point where i want to focus on making stronger hives rather than increasing numbers. So i want to combine these swarms with some of my hives that could do with a boost. I want to use the newspaper combine method - but should i have an entrance on the top box and frames in there or should i just put a sheet of newspaper down with slits in it and dump the bees on top of that and then put a lid on? Also, it would obviously be recommended to find the queen first correct?
Hi Everybody... so, year 1 of my beekeeping career is progressing nicely - i started the year with 1 hive and so far have 20! But i'm at the point where i need to ask some genuine questions of those with experience...any advice you could give me is appreciated:1) I have one hive, my favourite, a prolific producer of both brood and their nectar and pollen gathering capacity is amazing. She is currently four boxes high (I think i might have gotten a little excited and put another box on too soon although they had drawn out and mostly filled the third box when i added it). The problem i have with this hive is she is slowing down her laying and they seem to be back filling with honey. Now she is not making any moves to swarm - so far - one beek i spoke to said it's like us - if we had 2 million in our bank account would we get out of bed of a morning to go to work? All of my hives are on a flow at the moment! this hive has drawn and filled two supers of nectar in two weeks. I am guessing to get her laying again i need to reduce the amount of nectar on the hive - but none of it is capped yet. So what do i do to encourage her to lay but also cap this honey without backfilling the brood nest with honey and swarming or shutting down laying?
. Swarms can be extremely good producers so don't forget to give them a chance to show their true colors, you could always combine later....JP
I don't know if I'm following you correctly Finski in regards to your comment referring to swarms collapsing after a week. This makes no sense at all to me.
Quote from: JP on December 26, 2010, 07:13:47 PMI don't know if I'm following you correctly Finski in regards to your comment referring to swarms collapsing after a week. This makes no sense at all to me.If you have 2 kg swarm, it draws foundations in a weeks and durin that time it lays the box full of brood. It is not able any more to get surplus honey because its force goes to rear new bees.It takes allmost 4 weeks that it get new bees. During that time its foraging power has been collapsed because half of swarm bees have died.Now it takes over 2 weeks that new bees start to forage.Lets look time table:virgin bee 10 days to first lay .... 3 weeks to emerge =5 weeks. Then 2 week old bees a lot means 3 weeks = 5+3=8 weeks. If you a laying queen, it start laysin after 3 days when some of foundations has been drawn. Its shedule is almost same as with virgin queen.But if the hive gets all the time new bees, its capacity to forage becomes better.

Fox "Straight News" Division Hides Fact That GOP Super Committee Proposal Includes Massive Tax Cuts
Blog ››› ››› MIKE BURNS
Fox "straight news" program America Live reported that Republicans have broken from their no-new-taxes position and introduced a deficit reduction proposal to the congressional "super committee" that includes new tax revenue, but completely ignored that they conditioned that proposal on the passage of massive tax cuts.
During today's edition of America Live, Mike Emanuel reported that Republicans on the congressional "super committee," which is charged with reducing the federal deficit over the next decade, offered a "$1.5 trillion package with about $300 billion in new tax revenue," but that the offer "was rejected" by the Democratic members of the committee. But Emanuel, the chief congressional correspondent for Fox News, made no mention of the fact the proposal would make permanent the Bush tax cuts, therefore more than off-setting the tax increases and significantly increasing deficits.
Watch the segment:
But Emanuel's reporting ignores the fact that the Republican-proposed revenue increase would be more than offset by massive tax cuts.
The Washington Post's Lori Montgomery reported yesterday: "Senior Republican aides described the proposal as a 'significant concession' on taxes. But the tax increases would be offset by permanently extending the George W. Bush-era tax cuts past their 2012 expiration date, a move that would increase deficits by about $4 trillion over the next decade."
And the Los Angeles Times reported:
Democrats dismissed the proposal as unrealistic, saying the cost of the income tax breaks would substantially exceed the revenue generated by eliminating or reducing some itemized deductions.
For example, eliminating the mortgage deduction for second homes would generate about $15 billion, while every 1 percentage point reduction in the income tax rate costs about $100 billion over 10 years, budget experts said.
In other words, the Republican proposal for taxes would lower, not raise, tax revenue and would actually increase the deficit. By hiding the fact that the Republican proposal includes massive tax cuts that would more than offset the tax increases, Emanuel makes it seem that Republicans are, in the words of the Washington Monthly's Steve Benen, "showing newfound flexibility and are finally willing to consider a more balanced approach to debt reduction, only to be rejected by Democrats."
That is clearly not the case.
Rather than report both sides of the story, Fox has once again shown that its "straight news" division is a farce.

Former High Springs Police Chief Tied Up in Death Investigation
Published March 24th, 2014
Loading Video...
HIGH SPRINGS - The sparring between High Springs city manager Ed Booth and former police chief Steve Holley took a dark turn this morning after the city alleged to have found missing evidence from a death investigation in Holley's squad car.
In a press release, Booth claims the evidence found in the police cruiser had been missing for more than six months, prompting an internal investigation.
While police investigated the death last year, a weapon in the case had gone missing, according to the press release. Officials would not identify which specific case is being examined.
City officials found evidence for the case in the back of Holley's vehicle "when [he] turned in his vehicle" to the city after being placed on administrative leave Jan. 27th.
Multiple city officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, confirmed that the death investigation was for a suicide and the evidence found in Holley's police cruiser were papers authorizing the return of the gun used to commit the suicide to surviving family members—not the weapon itself.
Booth declined to comment on his press release.
The city claims to have contacted the Jacksonville office of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the press release states, which began an investigation as of Friday.
The FDLE would neither confirm nor deny an investigation, but an FDLE source told TV20 the department's involvement has been "greatly exaggerated."
An official with the city government who requested anonymity said the missing evidence did not inform the decision to dismiss Holley.
In addition, the city has also begun an investigation into why the police department has "tens of thousands of dollars' worth" of electronic equipment that it does not need, the release states.
The city is also questioning Holley's credentials and path of promotion, according to the release.
In response, Brandon Kutner with the Florida Police Benevolent Association said in a press release that these are only allegations.
"Allegations are just that, and should be treated with unbiased scrutiny until such time as corroborating or exculpatory evidence is uncovered," said Kutner in the press release.
Kutner's comments fly in the face of demands made by High Springs city attorney Scott Walker that he cease and desist making public statements about the city government—particularly Booth and Walker.
"Given the threatening tone and content of the aforementioned letter, I personally find the timing of the City's most recent press release suspect at best," said Kutner.
High Springs vice mayor Bob Barnas said he believes this is just another move in the feud between Booth and Holley regarding how to handle the 911 dispatch center.
"When they removed Holley, they removed the only roadblock in the way of transferring 911 operations to Alachua County," said Barnas.
Minutes from an Alachua County Sheriff's Office command staff meeting indicate that Booth and Sheriff Sadie Darnell had met privately to discuss transitioning 911 dispatch back to the county.
Questions of impropriety also surround the selection of Holley's successor, interim police chief Antoine Sheppard. A conflict of interest disclosure form from a 2007 grant shows that Sheppard is the cousin of current mayor Byran Williams.

text: I went out to the hive today and noticed that there was honey oozing out of the bottom entrance and bees that were caked in the sweet stuff. I scraped it clean but it was too cold to open up the hive. This doesn't seem normal to me, and I mean it wasn't absolutely running out, it was just a layer on the entrance, but is there anyone who has experienced this?

Decades ago, our most left-leaning politicians devised a program to begin separating unsuspecting Americans from their short, but proud, heritage by hyphenating their nationality. It caught on quickly with those self-loathing Americans who have always delighted in denouncing the American brand of capitalism, and is now popular with other empty-headed interest groups.
Then, there are those that just enjoy pretending to be Irish on St. Patrick's Day, because it is just so damn much fun.
