Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Microbiologists perform a wide range of jobs and activities, and the tools they use are just as diverse. The instruments and techniques that microbiologists use range from the simplest to the most complex.
These include:
Microscopes are to microbiology what telescopes are to astronomy.
The earliest microscopes were simple instruments consisting of one or more crude glass lenses similar to those used to make early spectacles. The invention of the first true microscope is credited to the Jansen family of Middleburg, Holland, around 1595.
Later, in the 17th century, Dutch cloth merchant and amateur scientist Anton van Leeuwenhoek enlightened the world to what he dubbed "animacules" such as protozoa found in standing water. Using microscopes he made himself, Leeuwenhoek wrote up what he viewed in pond water, plant material, even gunk scraped off his teeth. He was the first to identify sperm and red blood cells.
There are two basic types of microscopes: light microscopes and electron microscopes.
Light microscopes may be familiar to you from biology classes.
Light microscopes can magnify an object up to 1,000 times. Good light microscopes are powerful enough to view most algae, fungi, and protozoa.
High-quality light microscopes (pictured right) generally allow viewing of bacterial cells, too. They can't view viruses, however, as these tiny objects are smaller than a wavelength of visible light (about 0.2 microns). Nor can they readily allow scientists to examine individual tiny parts of cells in detail.To view extremely tiny objects, scientist use electron microscopes.
There are three types of electron microscopes: transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and scanning-tunneling electron microscopes (STM).
TEMs transmit electron beams through a thin section or slice of a specimen to create an image. TEMs are particularly useful for studying the insides of cells.
With SEMs, the specimen is usually coated with an ultra-thin layer of gold atoms. The electron beam scans over the surface of the specimen, exciting electrons on the surface. When these surface electrons are emitted (as secondary electrons), they are collected by special devices that create an image out of them.
SEMs are especially useful for studying the surfaces and structures of cells. With their great depth of field, SEMs produce 3-D images.
STMs can display things as infinitesimal as the individual atoms on an object's surface. They scan specimen surfaces in the same way as SEMs, but they use an electrically charged tip that is placed within nanometers of the surface of the specimen. Electrons "jump" between the tip and the specimen surface in what's called the tunneling current, hence the name of this kind of microscope.
As the tip is moved back and forth across the specimen, the current varies according to whether the tip is right over an atom or over the space or trough between atoms. A computer creates an image based on these differences in current.
When microbiologists want to identify microbes in a sample or study microbes in-depth, they often try to culture, or grow, the microbial cells in their labs. The scientists can then manipulate the cells or their environments to see what effects these changes have on the organisms.

The Canisius College men's lacrosse team never trailed in a 14-10 upset at No. 13 Albany on Tuesday afternoon, posting the program's first-ever win against a nationally-ranked school. With the win, the Griffs improve to 4-4 on the season, while the Great Danes drop to 3-4.
"We put all the pieces together today and played as a team," said Canisius head coach Randy Mearns. "We finally put the ball in the net today and controlled the X again to maintain possession. We did a good job of containing the Thompsons and Alex Govenettio made a couple of nice saves for us. It was a great team win where all facets were clicking. We were crisp with our passes and really communicated well. Overall, it was the best game that we've played this season so hopefully we can ride that momentum to Siena this weekend."
Junior Tim Edwards recorded a career-best eight points in the win, scoring one goal to go along with a personal-best seven assists. The junior midfielder also won 9-of-13 faceoffs on the day, while collecting a game-high six ground balls.
Sophomore Vince Gravino matched his career high with four goals to lead the Canisius offense with junior Sam Connors and sophomore Nick Tuttle each netting a personal-best two tallies.
Senior Kevin Collins, juniors Brandon Bull and Jake Giarrano, sophomore Mike Vavonese and freshman Jeff Edwards rounding out the scoring for Canisius with a goal each.
Junior netminder Alex Govenettio anchored a strong Canisius defense to the victory. The goalie recorded 12 saves and held the nation's top scoring offense to six goals fewer than its season average.
The Griffs netted the game's first two goals in just 1:35 when Collins – a long-stick midfielder – scored his first of the season just 23 seconds into the contest with Tim Edwards adding a goal 72 seconds later. The schools would alternate tallies a couple of times before two-straight goals pulled Albany even at four with 10:47 remaining in the second quarter.
Canisius, however, would answer back immediately. Tim Edwards won the ensuing faceoff and fed Gravino for his first of the day just eight seconds later for the 5-4 Griffs advantage. Gravino added one final Canisius tally in the first half, while Albany added one of its own for a 6-5 Griffs lead at the intermission.
Albany tied the contest one final time with the opening goal of the second half but a three-goal run put Canisius ahead for good. Tim Edwards assisted on all three tallies – man-up goals by Bull and Connors sandwiched around a goal by Giarrano – as Canisius grabbed a 9-6 lead and never looked back. The nationally-ranked Great Danes would pull within two goals three more times but the Griffs had the answer each time. Vavonese then sealed the Canisius win with his first collegiate goal with 53 seconds remaining for the 14-10 upset victory.
Canisius won the possession battle against the nation's top offense, outshooting the Great Danes, 43-33. The Griffs held Albany to more than 10 shots fewer than its season average. In addition, the Griffs won the battle at the faceoff X, 17-11, and dominated the ground ball battle, 35-21. Canisius also netted three man-up goals in the win – scoring more with the extra-man advantage in six tries on Tuesday than in its first seven games combined.
Albany was led by Miles Thompson, who recorded seven points, four goals and three assists. Blaze Riorden recorded 12 saves in net for the Great Danes.
Canisius now returns to conference play with another road trip to Albany to face Siena. The MAAC rivals are set to meet on Saturday at 3 p.m.
Game Notes: Canisius has now won 2-of-3 meetings against the Great Danes with the road team claiming each of the three contests … Tim Edwards topped his previous career high of seven points, which he accomplished last year against Albany (5g, 2a) … He is the first Griff to record eight points in a game since Simon Giourmetakis had eight at Albany on March 10, 2012 … Edwards' seven assists are also tied for the most by a Griff since the 1991 season, matching the mark set by Nick LoCoco against Colgate on March 2, 2008 (current coach Randy Mearns is the only Griff to record more in a game with nine assists against Hartford in 1990) … Edwards also entered the game ranked third nationally with a .690 faceoff percentage … Tuttle has scored two goals in back-to-back games after netting one in his first 19 collegiate games … Canisius had scored only two man-up goals in 19 chances before going 3-for-6 on Tuesday.

Backtrack: 5v3 64 bit KME .iso image, hash checked.
PC: MSI laptop, Intel i7 with 12 Gb ram, Nvidia GeForce GTX 570M graphics card
Issue: Backtrack not booting correctly from DVD
I've tinkered with Backtrack, and I'm really wanting to get more experience with it. I've set up a small lab in my room to start exploring it's uses. I'm still fairly new to the whole Linux thing, having a little experience with Ubuntu. But I digress...
So, my profession is network admin. I am a CCNA, CCNA-S, CCNP, and CEH. I'm working toward network security and pen testing. Hence, my need for Backtrack Experience.
I've used Backtrack 4 before, with no issues. I've had it set up as dual-boot, and as a bootable USB. This was on my ASUS PC. I d/led BT5v3 and am trying to run on my new laptop.
I d/led BT5v3, and mounted it's .iso image to a DVD. I've tried to boot my PC from that DVD. The program begins to load. I can get the screen which gives you the 6 or so load options (no networking, mounting the first harddrive, etc). I just select the default. The command prompt window opens, and it begins to implement multiple commands. But then my screen gets garbled and I cant see anything except the top and bottom portions of the screen. You can see the nice reddish "smoke" and the Backtrack graphics top and bottom, but the middle is all garbled. It's acting like a driver issue, and it's somewhat frustrating.
I've looked at some of the forum threads, and most seem to apply to after BT loads, and you enter Startx. I dont even make it that far. I get the "root:" prompt, and hit enter. Then as described above.
I've ensured I'm running latest video driver for my NVidia card. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, I see it now. Wow now I'm really ashamed! I think the lightness of the helmet is what threw me off. I realize now that's supposed to be shine, but the top half looks a little strange to me now that I know what I'm looking at. Kinda like something dented the helmet and made a flat spot on the front... At the same time, though, too much black would have thrown off the balance, so I still think it's a great design

"Nope" means they won't print it no matter what. In this case, it's too politically charged.
Otherwise, the design is off topic as it's not "one word made of artistic elements" or somesuch.
Still funny though.
It's an uplifting message! Even in death, one can still be active and rise to the top!

grahamcrackercoyote wrote:My first thought, too
And before you get in my face, I got the Potter reference right off the bat, too! If you are older, the Bambi reference is gonna be there whether you want it to be or not - call this shirt "Double Weepie".
climb wrote:I'm not TRYING to break all the rules...
Just pushing them a little.
Does one color include Black and White?
Can we have more than one color in the shirt detail (aside from the orange Woot tag)?
Oh... and Baskerville isn't a "fancy" font, is it?
: )
So here is my take (and this is only my understanding)... You can only have what is really going to be on the shirt in the thumbnail. The term just a fancy font means that you just can't type the word "WORD" once and be done. By filling it with lots of words you fulfill the requirement to have the word you are drawing filled with what it is made up of. Also this counts as a graphical element because you didn't just type it once and call it quits.
So my suggestion to you would be to re-post with a different thumbnail if you get rejected.

tallon231 wrote:I think this is very cool and I would even buy it in a heartbeat, however, how does this even come close to fitting in the theme this week?
The word is Cookies, and it's made up of entries from the Periodic table, not just a fancy font, and the bubbles coming from the test tube look suspiciously familiar.
bethany3cat wrote:Meh is heather gray, like the mood.
I know that tons of you are going to want this t-shirt, but why vote? I mean life's too short, what's the point. Meh.
I'm setting my goals reasonably low, like, I'll try to get it in the derby... oh, wait, I succeeded. Meh.
Wow, I have three entries. Both Meh and Nom are in the dictionary. Fail, on the other hand, I couldn't find.
some points and pointers:
1. heather gray is not a color offered by woot, but this looks like silver anyway.
2. It's a bit off topic, since it's not composed of artistic elements, just drawn out.
3. Maybe update your signature to include links to your entries. This way people can click and see/vote.
Love it!

Very well done. I like that you didn't stretch or warp any of the objects to force them as a letter. And best of all, you can read "wizard" right away.

Poison Control
Did you know poisoning is now the leading cause of unintentional death in the United States, ahead of car accidents and guns? Each year, a child six years of age or younger was poisoned every thirty seconds. Another statistic....approximately 2.4 million people, more than half under the age of 6, swallow or come into contact with a poisonous substance. These statistics are staggering!
Parents and caregivers can impact these "scary" statistics by committing to poison-proofing their homes. This is an ongoing project but should begin when your child is 6-9 months of age and is slowly becoming mobile. Begin with easy things:
- store all medicines and household products out of reach of children and preferably in a locked cabinet.
- store poisons in their original containers so that you know what is in the container. This is very important if your child ever gets into poison in order that you know what they ingested. No guessing if in the original container.
- use child - resistant packaging, but remember, NOTHING is truly child proof.
- take medications out of purses and diaper bags.
Teach your children that medicines are NOT candy. Children watch adults take medicine, so take your medication out of sight of your young children. Lock all medication back up immediately after you have taken it. Make sure to read labels on all medications and products and follow the directions. For young children most medication is dosed by weight rather than age. Be careful not to overdose over the counter products. Use the proper measuring dropper or syringe to dose all medication.
Should your child ingest a poison you need to have the number to poison control available. Poison Help number is 1-800-222-1222 and is answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If in doubt call the Poison Help hotline, rather than your pediatricians office as the poison center network are the experts. You can discuss their recommendations with you doctor if necessary AFTER you have called Poison Help Line.
There is also a great "app" for Poison Help. There is a one-click connection to the poison help center from the app. The site also has a medication identification tool, first aid information and poison safety tips.
Take this week to look over your home and "re-childproof". Fix those broken cabinet latches, throw out any old or unused medication and post the Poison Help Line number in a visible place.

|painted jester
Its been over a year with no update by the O.P. my guess is this thread is dead !!!
The 3/8 hyd. adjustable push rods are good up to .600 lift in a 392 Chrysler . With 1500 miles on it I would be checking the compression. My guess is you have a cam wiping out. The comp. for a 10/1 piston(EVERYBODY sells the same cast 10/1Hot Heads-Jegs-Speedway) about 180psi. they are a nice cast street piston. My guess is you'll find 1 or 2 low, if so you have some cam lobes leaving. I have found 2 this last summer(a 392 Chrysler and a 341 Desoto).Both still idled nice, but lost power and no rpm. It only takes 1/2 hour to check. If you don't use a good break in oil this will happen(NOT MAYBE). There is a difference of oil. Break in oil is about $10 to $12 a quart. Also 99.9 of the hyd. lifters are just fine with .040 to .060 preload. I know the intakes suck to adjust, but you should only have to do it once. The 10/1 comp. should be just fine with premium gas. The hemi head design is good for at least 1 comp. ratio even with a castiron head. Flame travel? The spark plug is in the middle of the piston, it does not get any better than that. Besides almost every make vehicle uses a hemi design and run 10 to 11 ratios. My 3 Hemis run just fine on pump premium. Did anyone ask if it ran good in the high rpm range when it was first run? Hope this helps. Dave.
I was able to find the original distributor in storage, so i am going to install that asap, to rule out the MSD that is currently firing the motor.
I purchased the MSD "ready to run" distributor through HotHeads, as well as all the other ingredients to put this motor together, then a very reputable shop did the assembly. Old school racers, who have done hemis.
I have heard much heresay that the msd s are often culprit, (find this hard to believe,) so just to rule it out, going to try the O.E. dist.
btw , this motor really runs pretty nice, but i know there is untapped power on hand once this trouble is sorted.
Thanks for the replies. I will do update asap. Russ
Because of that- and just because that's a lot of CR for ANY engine w/iron heads and a mild cam- I would be looking at the dynamic compression ratio- using 10:1 on an iron head Hemi w/a "mild" cam and today's for-**** gasoline is an invitation to severe detonation.
|painted jester
I don't think it is detonation! Because even if it is detonation when he showers down on the throttle! He should easily pick up speed beyond that rpm range when the throttle is applied slowly. But floating valves can cause a pinging or clicking noise, caused by the lifters lofting off the the cam lobes and when the cam lobes comes around again the lifter hits it and lofts again ( its called float)! the valves are open for the entire revolution of the cam causing no vacuum and no compression (loss of speed, and the engine wont accelerate beyond or near the same rpm each time) until the valve train slows and settles down again and then you might pick up speed to about that rpm again maybe a little more till it starts to floats again! The way Russ explained his problem and just having the engine done with the early 300 valve springs and a different cam then the springs were designed for and probably other then stock lifters and adjustable push rods which could be heavier!! valve loft is a very reasonable assumption especially an an early Chrysler Hemi with a very critical valve geometry!!!
He also said it was built in a shop and blue printed at 10to1 comp so he already knows the octane needed ! And like I said (octane) I don't think is his problem! He already backed off timing, he said it started good,, that must mean hot or cold and he didn't mention any other problems that would point to low octane! But then I could be totally wrong it may be something else
|valve adjustment is not going to cause detonation. You most likely need to back the timing down or increase the octane of the fuel. Either will have the same overall effect. 10:1 is pushing the limit but the limit also depends on other variables. Something as simple as spark plug reach can make a difference.
Valve timing could be off. Double check the timing chain.

[QUOTE=Centerline]Jester's method is the "expensive"
Centerline is 100% right its very expensive
|painted jester
What spring pressures and installed height did the cam co. recommend for the cam your running What are the cam card specs ?
In 1955 spring pressures were only 126# at 1&5/16" at an installed height of 1&11/16" You may have the wrong springs installed! Some auto parts stores will list one spring for all assembly's on the early Hemis and if you don't specify exactly what pressure & height you need your screwed especially if they are not checked by the builder before installing!!
The adjustment is the distance between the rocker arm and valve tip when the valve is fully closed and lifter is fully collapsed! Its very hard to explain that to people that weren't trained on the early Chryslers & Fords LOL There is a tool made that will help if you do this. At Chryslers and Fords when you cut valve seats and dressed valve tips or changed a lifter with the non adjustable rocker arm shaft for hydraulics you might have different length push rods or valve lash caps for different cylinders Thats where the saying came from " make sure the push rods go back on exactly in the spot you removed them from" Ford was the same way LOL!! Ford and Chrysler called the adjustment when the rockers and shaft was installed .000" or Zero lash because the lash was already set when the shaft and rockers are being installed. Guys that really know Chryslers & Fords Know this very well !!! I work on a lot of Chrysler engines and I have to do this quite a bit! thats why I said Chevys were easy
Most Chrysler hydraulic lifters collapsed to within the specified clearances so it wasn't very often you had to do any changes on stock builds but once you change to high performance lifters, rocker arms, cams etc, etc, you are changing the entire valve train geometry and opening a can of worms if you don't know what your doing!
Im sure Im going to get a lot of disagreements on what I wrote you LOL so take it as a grain of salt!
Jester's method is the "expensive" right way to do it. However, those parts are pricey. For street motors most now use adjustable pushrods, which are plenty strong enough for 99% of the street engines out there. And.... only cost around $150. A set of adjustable rocker shafts will cost you a minimum of $400 and they'll probably need to be rebuilt. Add custom length push rods and roller tipped rockers and you're going to be spending upwards of a grand. Money well spent if your going racing, but for a mild street engine it's probably a little overkill. Just my opinion.
"Instructions are just the manufacturers opinion of how it should be put together". - Tim Allen
|painted jester
You need to know what lifters are installed Standard, anti pump ups, roads etc? some are adjusted with a preload some aren't. Chrysler used different length push rods and valve lash caps not adjustable push rods at the time. I only use adjustable push rods to check rod length I never run them on any engine I build! But thats my choice do what your comfortable with Also lifters on Chryslers were clearanced and measured at full collapse like a ford F.E. side oiler. I would have thought your engine builder would have used (or talked you into ) adjustable rockers and the right length custom push rods. I also use the valve lash caps with roller rockers or standard rockers on Chryslers especially with stainless valves ( because of the softer stainless compared to steel with hardened tiped valves) and it gives a little more surface area for your roller to ride on. Its just the way I do things
Adjustable push rods may add to your problem some of the cheep brands flex at high rpm and pressures! Try setting your rockers at .000 lash and see if the problem goes away or appears at a higher rpm if it does you need better lifters or redo your valve geometry (and I would suggest a builder with more experience with older Chrysler engines) If you cant adjust them you have to change your set up so you can!!!
These are just suggestions: Jester
Take some pics of your valve train from different angles so we can see the geometry and set up it would help
When it comes to adjusting valves on an early hemi using hydraulic lifters, it's the same procedure used on any small block Chevy. Once you have the cam lobe bottomed out for a particular cylinder, simply adjust the pushrod to take the "play" out of it and then continue one full turn on the adjustment and lock it down. This gives the lifter the proper preload. Since the firing order on an early hemi is the same as the small block Chevy the same valve adjusting sequence can be followed as well.
Never pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just shoot you. - Anonymous
Thanks for the rapid replies.
I am using adjustable pushrods, with hydraulic lifters. Using new Chrysler 300 (1958) valve springs.The shop that did the assembly installed them. I have not checked clearances.
If you would please indulge me, what would i set them to?
I believe i could handle the task having owned slant sixes, and early mopar flatheads, just not sure what they should be.
I picked up a copy of The early hemi handbook, but i dont believe there is any reference to adjustment.thanks, Russ
Jester is correct that early hemis had fairly radical valve train geometry and they need to be set right or won't perform. Valve float could be a problem if your running a high lift cam and using stock springs, especially if they're original to the engine. However, if your running any cam that has a higher lift than stock you need to run adjustable pushrods, otherwise your valve lash will be WAY off. Another thing to think about, 10:1 compression is on the ragged edge when it comes to pump gas. Try a 104 octane booster and see if that helps the pinging.

Rick, good for you man! How did you cook them?
Yup, that would be a fly agaric, not deadly poison, but I'd highly recommend against it anyway unless you want a bad trip. In Europe they can be used as a hallucogenic, but the ones over here aren't quite the same and will just make you imagine that you are dying. :tumbleweed:On the bright side, I had a whole passel of shaggy parasols, 3/4 of a fairy ring, show up this fall in my front yard, and after a lot of investigation I ate my first crop of wild mushrooms...really tasty!!

Hey Mushroom People , I used to think that the morel was the easiest edible mushroom to identify . Then --- I have heard that there is such a thing as a "False Morel" which is not edible and bears a resemblance to the real thing . Need to learn more before next mushroom harvest . Someone once accused me of being a mushroom . They said I was a "fun-guy" . :-D ---Burl---

Leopard geckos belong in the class Reptilia, Order Squamata, and suborder Sauria (lizards). Their genus name, Eublepharis, means "good eyelids." Unlike some other geckos, leopard geckos and their close kin (eublepharine geckos) can close their eyes. Another difference is that they don't have expanded toes or clinging toe pads. Most of them have fat tails and all live in dry habitats.
Because of anatomical and genetic similarities with wall-climbing geckos, leopard geckos have been placed in the family Gekkonidae. However, some taxonomists now believe they should be placed in their own family, Eublepharidae. Leopard geckos are native to western India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Leopard geckos are found in dry areas. They prefer rocky desert and semi-arid grassland over open stretches of sand. They're crepuscular and nocturnal, spending the daytime in rock crevices or burrows.
These lizards are 7-9 inches (17.8-22.9 cm) long, with large heads, big eyes with elliptical pupils and thin toes. They have thick tails that narrow to a point and, like their bodies and heads, are slightly flattened from top to bottom. Most of their scales are small and granular. Spaced rows of larger, bumpy scales give them a knobby look, but they are soft to the touch. Wild leopard geckos' markings show many black spots and wide blackish bands on a dark tan background.
They can live more than 30 years in captivity. Their life span in the wild is unknown.
In the wild: Primarily insects and fruit, but also spiders, snails, small lizards, birds and bird eggs.
At the zoo: They eat mealworms, crickets, and occasionally baby mice.
Leopard geckos can reach sexual maturity in one to three years. Males can be distinguished from females by the presence of a chevron-shaped row of pores just ahead of the cloaca. Male leopard geckos are aggressive towards male intruders to their territory but tolerant of female arrivals. During courtship the male sidles alongside the female, licking and lightly biting her side. He then grasps her neck in his mouth. If she1s receptive to mating, she lifts her tail allowing the male to insert one of his paired copulatory organs, called hemipenes. Mating usually occurs during the rainy season. Female leopard geckos can store sperm in their reproductive tracts for 15 months or more. They can lay up to five clutches of one or (usually) two eggs during the five month breeding season, and may use some of the stored sperm to fertilize each clutch. Incubation lasts about 55 days, with some variation due to temperature and humidity.
While adult males strongly defend their territories from other males, females often tolerate each other in captivity. Sometimes, however, one becomes aggressive towards another, and low ranking animals may suffer significant stress if kept with dominants.
Like many small lizards, a leopard gecko can autotomize, or shed, its tail to distract a predator or escape its grasp. A muscular spasm separates the tail at a specialized fracture point found in some of the tail vertebrae while a related adaptation clamps off blood vessels to prevent hemorrhaging. A new tail will begin to grow in a few weeks, but instead of a column of distinct bony vertebrae, it will have a less flexible rod of calcified cartilage. If the remaining original part still has a fracture point, the lizard can autotomize its tail again. A newly lost tail twitches violently until the nerve impulses run down, and is very likely to hold the predator's attention while the lizard escapes
Leopard geckos can be seen, along with many other reptiles and amphibians from different habitats, in the zoo's Day Exhibit.
Here are only a few of the benefits they provide: Reptiles help keep prey populations in balance. Reptiles consume many animals that humans consider as pests, including mice, rats and destructive species of insects. This helps to control disease and damage to crops. Reptile venom and poison are used in medical research and provide effective medicines to fight certain human diseases.
We do not recommend reptiles as pets for most people as they require very specialized diets and environments. We also receive hundreds of requests each year to take former pet iguanas, boas and other reptiles but we cannot accept these due to space, health and unknown backgrounds. If you need to find a reptile or amphibian a new home, we suggest you contact a local herpetological group in your area.
How You Can Help! The effort to save endangered species requires cooperation and support at the regional, national and international levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in a conservation organization of your choice. Don't buy products made from wild animal parts. To learn other ways you can help, contact Woodland Park Zoo at email@example.com about supporting conservation programs at the zoo. Discover more about geckos by contacting the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles at 303 W. 39th St., PO Box 626, Hays, KS 67601, www.ukans.edu/~ssar/, or the American Federation of Herpetoculture: AFH, PO Box 300067, Escondido, CA 92030-0067. Find other groups and information online at www.parcplace.org, the Web site of Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation, or by searching the keyword "herpetology." You may also visit our How You Can Help page for more actions you can take.
In the Puget Sound region, contact the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society as a resource. The pet trade is lowering numbers of certain reptile populations to the point where they may become extinct in the wild. Fortunately, leopard geckos are bred in captivity in such numbers that it is uncommon for them to be imported. Anyone interested in owning a reptile should learn about its needs and be sure it was captive bred. Many more wild-caught animals die than ever reach pet stores, and those that do are often stressed, malnourished and untamable. Read more about keeping a pet reptile by visiting http://www.kingsnake.com/ballpythonguide/pets.htm.
Geckos, as all reptiles, play an important role in nature's web of life. Currently, there's little human encroachment on the leopard gecko's arid home, though this could change. Habitat destruction and hunting for skins to make tourist products or souvenirs contribute to the decline of reptiles worldwide. Each of us needs to take action to protect wild habitats so lizards and all animals can continue to perform the vital roles they play in maintaining the delicate balance of nature.

Hello everyone,I've already read some topics about HopGuard in this forum, and get some information about it, but I would like make a new question.Does HopGuard treatment have any inconvenient like Tymol do?Tymol is a good treatment in Varroa control but with it we have some problems. Changes in bee life and lots of beehive unit. With tymol treatment bee becomes more nervous and start to have fight. Beehive more weak or without queen get attached from the others. Also we observe changes in bee distribution. Bee gets far from tymol and brood change is usual distribution. Because of this inconvenient we prefer use the Oxalic Acid two time during the year, in August and December, keeping the queen in a cage for tree weeks to reduce the brood and make it more effective.Have you had some similar inconvenient with the use of HopGuard?
Ditto what Bush_84 said. Many of us in WA have used Hopguard and also found that it doesn't work as the original directions say to use it. The disappointment here has been pretty high. The initial mite drop is great, but it is successive applications that are needed to get the next generations that are coming out of the cells. The other problem is the quantity you have to buy it in. 50 strips/package is too many for most backyard beekeepers and...Bush_85: It doesn't save -- I tried. Maybe I didn't seal it up tight enough, so if someone else out there has had success, please share how it was stored. But when I tried to use some last spring that I had over-wintered, I got no mite drop at all. Had to open a new bag.I didn't know about Hopguard II, but will keep an eye and ear out!
Does HopGuard treatment have any inconvenient like Tymol do?
I stored it in a tupper ware container. Haven't checked on it yet, but I did use it my first and second year without issue.

Hotel Employees are very nice. Courteous, and go out of their way to make sure we were satisfied.
The house was a beautiful combination of old and shabby chic. The rooms are beautifully decorated The breakfast was exactly what was needed to walk out the door with. Parking was good in a church location behind the house The location of the subway system was a little walk away. We did not mind so much however those that are not walkers might not like it so much.
It was a beautiful home built in 1890. Still has its old charm. The owners were very sweet, made us feel at home. Hotel employee covered every detail. This location is perfect. About 2 miles from the heart of DC. Uber/lyft about $5-$8 ride even No
The owners were amazingly friendly and wonderful. After a day of delays at airports, these people were welcoming and showed a great side to DC.
Nothing Parking terrible with multiple restrictions, not clean, door knob fell off,
This 19th century Victorian style house is absolutely charming. But even more important, the owners go beyond their duties to ensure that you have a wonderful experience in DC and to make you feel home. Wireless internet free. I knew it as it is in the description, but it might be a discomfort to some people, the bathroom is shared. It was very clean and I did not have to wait for anyone to get out, but I can see that it might be an issue at times.
comfort of bed, quality of bathroom, outstanding free breakfast, afternoon cookies and wine. Attitude of ALL staff. Quick, flexibility of owners. Opportunity to meet owners. Conversation in the morning and evening at the dining room table. Location
I frequently travel to Washington on business and tried this guest house. It is literally across the street from the Metro. It is very clean, very dignified, very quiet, very welcoming, and very relaxing. I will return. I liked everything. Two things that I liked, but others may not like:1) There are no TVs in the rooms or on the premises. There is wi-fi. 2) Room 114 is next to the kitchen. You smell coffee at 6:30, so if you are not a morning person take note.
Inn went above and beyond to cater to our Passover needs. Friendly clientele - mostly foreign. Parking in DC is abysmal in general. Inn offers limited parking at 30/night. No one in reception when I checked in. The phone number I had been provided was a remote cite and they couldn't help. Breakfast was the same continental every day.
The staff was lovely and incredibly helpful. The room was clean and homey. The location was great right next to the zoo and the metro.
A/C, breakfast, very convenient location - near our daughter's apartment, National Zoo, busses and Metro, Starbucks; good restaurants within walking distance; nice patio to relax on Weird mattress - too bouncy/soft, towels too thin, carrying suitcases up to third floor, lack of electrical outlets

5 Buyer Decisions That Increase Costs
These five factors can unnecessarily add costs or delays to a precision machined part: small order quantities, material selection, special diameter holes, close tolerances, unnecessarily fine surface finish.
Miles Free
PMPA, Editor at Large
PMPA, Editor at Large
"Parts is parts." But costs are influenced by decisions on manufacturability.
These five factors can unnecessarily add costs or delays to a precision machined part: small order quantities, material selection, special diameter holes, close tolerances, unnecessarily fine surface finish.
Small order quantities are a 2-edged sword. Minimizing inventory on hand is an important lean concept, but often the cost of separate setups for small runs is more expensive than holding a modest inventory. If your parts are standard to you, getting the economic order quantity correct can save you money by minimizing what you have to pay for setup costs. (And by the way, we're working like crazy to reduce those setup costs!)
Material selection can increase costs of production and can mean missed deliveries if the grade is "just not commercially available." Engineering requirements for the end user must be paramount, but the material contribution to manufacturing costs needs to be evaluated as well. The reduction in suppliers and suppliers' inventories, and everyone's attention to "lean" along the supply chain, means that the "perfect material" for that part just might be a 6-month leadtime rolling lot accumulation with no assurances of delivery.
Special diameter holes are often overlooked as a cost driver. But with every non-standard hole diameter specified, the supplier will need to purchase higher cost non-standard drills, reamers, and plug gages. Leadtimes for specials could also mean that parts are delayed while tools are made for the job. Are you certain that a standard hole size won't do the job needed?
Close tolerances are a source of pride to the craftsmen of the precision machining industry. Our people, processes, and engineering can assure that the hole delivered is as specified. But if you specify tolerances that are "closer than needed," the extra attention, more frequent tool adjustments and changes, and loss of productivity to make those adjustments can add incrementally to the cost. We can make what you need, but are you asking for more precision (cost) than you need?
Unnecessarily fine surface finish, like close tolerances, can add higher costs. What is the reason for the finish specified? While today's modern tooling and machines are able to provide better surface finish than machining technology of the distant past, for some requirements a separate grinding, shaving, burnishing or other treatment may be required. If there is not really a close or sliding fit, and there is no movement on/of the surface, the surface finish may be over-specified, needlessly increasing part costs.
Lean practices and waste minimization are not only the responsibility of the producer. As the 5 items above point out, eliminating needless waste is also a responsibility of the customer.

sbc burning oil
Freshly built 383 all new. I have to add 1/2 qt oil every weekend (about 50 mi. cruising). Blue smoke starting and on decelleration but not while idling, cruising, or on hard accel. Had to put in 3 air filter breathers in valve covers and a PCV to carb to keep valve cover gaskets sealed. Any ideas?
Burning Oil
Were the heads freshened up at the same time? Sounds like a blocked PCV or valve guides/seals to me.
Brand new AFR 210 Eliminators. I know new doesn't always mean good, how can I test them?
check out this link, it made help you out.
Blow By on a fresh rebuild. Possible ?? PLEASE HELP. Pics inside
I'm pretty sure I tried running w/o a pcv at all and still had the smoke but i'll try the clear hose idea just out of curiosity.
You did say you checked the modulator valve on the side of the trans for any trans fluid in the vacuum line.
No actually I haven't. Would that cause the oil burning?
many aftermkt valve covers do have the holes directly aligned with a rocker so that at 50psi oil pressure it can/will spray the breather and pcv at rpms...
the oil sucked up by the pcv lays in the rough surface intake till ya hit the gas and flush the oil into the cylinders to make smoke....
the fact that 3 breathers have clogged due to oil splash does indicate it's a baffles/breather location problem.....
to get the cylinders clean enough to check the plugs to (hopefully!!!) eliminate any rotating assembly problem as the smoke source....
make a simple "oil accumulator" to stop any oil from getting into the cylinders thru the PCV!!!!
8oz screw top (peanut butter?) glass jar...
couple of (whatever) 3/8" fittings, one around 2" long, the other around 1" long ...
some (scrap) 3/8" hose...
drill 2 holes in the lid and connect the longer fitting going into the jar to the pcv with a hose...
connect the other shorter fitting thru the lid to the carb pcv hose...
now any oil the pcv does pick up will stay in the jar....
a "belt and suspenders" fix for the breather side is improve the baffle and mount the breather higher on a piece of heater hose or tubing etc...
( a plus reason for doing that is the breather will pull cooler air into the block, a pcv does move a fair amount of air thru the block while cruisin')
just for the idea of the oil accummulator set up, here's a pic of one I made from a $13? (wasted!***) compressor water collector I modified,,,,(instant coffee jar works just as well)
***(fun to laugh at yourself), I bought it because it has a spring loaded drain at the bottem,,,,to empty it into a jar....
it "has" threads on the jar, just as easy to unscrew the jar and dump it!!!
definitely correctly retorque your intake manifold!!!!
An "oil accumulator" will help with the smoking. Is it ok to empty the jar back into the crankcase?
should you dump it back in the motor is tough to answer...
how many miles on the oil, are the additives used up?
how many cold starts on the oil which contaminates it with water and acid?
in this case, with a brand new build that's bleeding 16oz in just 50 miles,,,,I'd probably save the oil to use in my older than dirt lawnmower that does puff abit of smoke...
(more "new" oil additives added to his motor can only help)
if there is say only 2oz in the jar after 50 miles (pcv isn't the main problem),,why not,,2oz diluted into 160oz in the pan (5 quarts) won't hurt....
Ok when I say 3 valve cover breathers I mean thats how many are in now, 2 on the left and 1 on the right + a pcv on the right. None have ever clogged. It seemed there was too much crankcase pressure so I added more breathers. I actually had oil squirt out of the right side valve cover (cleared the header and hit the inner fender). My pcv is ran to 3/8 port on the back of my BG Demon. I have shorty headers in a s-10 so no room for an exhaust type pcv set up.
Could it be my rings since it only does it starting and on decelleration, I never see when I'm pushn the pedal (partial or full throttle). Seems like I can make it stop smoking by giving it a little gas.
"could it be my rings"
it could be many different things and often is a combination of problem sources especially when you are going thru 1/2 a quart (!!!) in just fifty miles....
deceleration, the pcv is held wide open by the extremely high/strong Hg vacuum level, add oil psi is max plus lots of rpms and the carb blades are closed="perfect" conditions for the pcv to suck up oil....
unless your motor will start with no pedal tap at all=no carb squirter pump fuel added,,,then that's alot of extra "liquid" gas into the intake to flush the oil into the chambers so it smokes at start up ....
when you give it a little gas the pcv is probably not full open because there is less Hg vacuum and less oil pressure at the rockers and the mix is lean with a load on the motor so no smoke ....
30 minutes (?) to rig together a oil accumulator, drive it 50 miles and see if still it takes a full 16oz to hit the full mark on the dipstick....
do also retorque the intake, decelerating at 25Hg vacuum can make the heads suck up alot of oil if there is just a tiny tiny intake gasket leak!!!
side note:
vacuum Hg example illustration/analogy,,,, your 2HP wet/dry shop vac with the hose end necked down to about 3/8" diameter "might" be able to pull 12-15Hg max worth of vacuum force on a guage....
at only 12Hg it will pick up ALOT water on the floor fast as hell .....
decelerating/engine braking a motor that seals decent does pull 25Hg+ so think of a pcv as a "super sucker",,,every time you back off the gas the Hg does go to 25Hg for atleast a moment!!!!!
external oil leaks can be a sneaky contributor to oil loss....
wash the motor to remove any oil on the surfaces....
use baby powder/talc powder/whatever fine powder that you can put in your hand and blow all over the motor so any oil will show up
.................................................. .........
"it seemed (???) there was to much crankcase pressure"
how many miles on the motor?
on a brand new motor, until the rings and particular cylinder hone grit finish (correct for the rings type!) are worn in to make a good seal it's common to have some blowby....
for a diy'er, lack of absolute "white gloves test" cleaning before assembly is probably the most common cause,,,machining grit scored the walls so now there is blow by...
if it is indeed "excess" crankcase pressure, it can be due to many things....
I picked this link off google almost a random to cover the most (?) common causes:
do one test, one step at a time till you can truly "diagnos" the problem source....
LOL, might as well do it in easy to PITA test order.....
if there is next to no oil in the jar after 100 miles, (remove all the plugs and keep them in order for the machine shop) and do a compression and/or leak down test to determine if the rotating assembly is sealing correct and equal on all 8 cylinders....
all cylinders test equal and good psi, then valve stem seals and guides are abit "more" suspect for the oil loss....
adding a breather to the cover with the pcv valve totally defeats the purpose of the pcv.....
the pcv is pulling next to no air "thru" the whole block from the other head cover breathers....
it's just sucking air from the breather on the pcv cover
block off that breather...
Thank red65mustang. You sound like you know your stuff. I'll try what you said starting w/ the oil acc. I'll start on it saturday if it ever quits rainin and I'll post again sun-mon and let ya know what happens
How accurate is your oil dip stick? You could be over filling the crankcase causing excessive crankcase pressure that will cause blow-by and excessive oil consumption. Put in 4 quarts and see if its at the add mark and then put in the 5th quart and see if it's at the full mark.
Do your valve covers have baffles under the openings for the PCV valve and breather. If not, the PCV valve will suck out any oil splashed on it and oil will mist out the breather.

Re: sundance weekender 20
Here is an image of the through hull fittings/cockpit drains on my Sundance 20 Starsong ~
This image is a view from the back end of the starboard berth, looking to port, between the forward and aft cockpits. The back end of the port berth is visible as well as the forward end of the aft cockpit and the aft end of the forward cockpit above the centerboard case.
You can see the two 'original' drains from each cockpit. One from the aft end of the forward cockpit which drains into the centerboard case and one from the forward end of the aft cockpit which drains directly through the hull below it. At some point in the life of my boat, a previous owner installed a 'T' fitting at the forward cockpit drain (which drains into the centerboard case) and led another hose to an additional (3rd) through hull fitting.
I am not comfortable with the through hulls on my boat and will be swapping them out for 'proper' fittings with shut-offs and connectors.
Re: sundance weekender 20
Thanks for the info on your boat. I will take some pictures of what I have this weekend and look at the mainsail as well. Hopefully taking her out this weekend, if its not too cold.
Re: sundance weekender 20
Hi Jason! Congratulations on the purchase of your SD20 hull number 6!
My boat, hull number 21, does have cockpit drains, a single drain at each aft end of each cockpit. The forward cockpit drain empties via a hose into the aft end of the centerboard trunk (a previous owner inserted a 'T' fitting there, under the cockpit floor, and affixed an additional drain off the back to a through hull about 3 inches aft of the centerboard trunk). The aft cockpit drain empties via a hose/through hull directly below the aft cockpit drain. So, I have 3 through hulls openings!
Is your sail number 6 and what color is the logo? Have you checked out the El Mar Boat Company FB page? I believe I recently added the ad for your boat, hull number 6, to our page.
Maybe we can get Len Ferry to comment about your cockpit drains.
Re: sundance weekender 20
Hey guys. New to this forum. I just purchased a Sundance 20 hull # 6 and i have a question in regards to cockpit draining. As of now I have zero cockpit drains and rain water fills up the cockpit when not covered. I did discover some drains that have been filled and covered with fiberglass (these were underneath the cockpit area). I also noticed a some type of pipe (that is closed off) forward on the swing keel housing.
I was going to re-open these drains, then I though....wow someone really went through allot of work to cover these things up, and maybe for a good reason.
It appears that the cockpit flooring is at or almost at water level. How am I install drains/scuppers to keep water out of the cockpit, not only on the trailer, but under sail as well? What was the "factory" configuration for this? There are zero through holes on the hull that I am aware of.
Thank you all... Any help would be great.
Re: sundance weekender 20
Received this scan from an original Sundance 20 sales brochure by the former owner of the company!
Great to have this documentation!
Re: sundance weekender 20
Hello Fellow Sundance Sailboat Owners,
I own s/v Starsong, an El Mar Boat Company Sundance 20, hull number 21 (manufactured in 1973). Since purchasing my boat, I have had direct contact with only a few owners and like everyone, I could not find much Internet information about the company or our boats. I have posted a YouTube video and created an El Mar Boat Company Sailboats Facebook Group in hopes of locating other Sundance Sailboat enthusiasts to exchange valuable information about our boats.
So, check out my YouTube video;
And the Facebook Group for Sundance Sailboats;
Re: sundance weekender 20... Calling Len ferry
Thanks wade for the heads up re lens post and identifying himself as the designer of the 23. Len, if you can see this, I'd like you to contact me at roger dott Conrad at mts dott net
I am attempting to get more information on the Sundance 20 weekender in terms of build history ie when did production start, when did it end, did the two cockpit styles coexist at some point during production or did one follow the other., and some info on Ed brown and the design of the original 20... Ie where did the design originate and when? These are all questions that give some history for our obscure little sailboats.
Re: sundance weekender 20
Well its been about four years since my first post responding to this thread regarding Sundance sailboats. At the time it seemed that there were few remaining Sundances around and even less information about them. What a welcome surprise to see the post from Len Ferry! .... feels like a floodgate has been finally opened! I expect all the other owners who have stumbled onto this thread have a fond connection to these sailboats, and I guess in some sense a connection to the builders. So a big thank-you to Len and Ed Brown for designing and manufacturing our great little sailboat (Sundance 20) and all the other Sundances in their various sizes and configurations! Our family has many great memories of sailing our Sundance with our young kids in the 90s. It was a fun, versatile and safe boat. I will not part with our little sailboat and it is patiently waiting for (hopefully) another round of memories with our kids families.
There has been significant efforts by several ( esp RogerConrad) to gather information on these boats so hopefully with Len's assistance a factual profile on these great sailboats can be put together. Welcome news indeed!

Re: sundance weekender 20
Alright. How the heck did a Sundance 23' sailboat get to Poland from Roseville Michigan. There has to be one hell of a story here!
|Captain Bill
Re: sundance weekender 20
This is a shout out to Len Ferry and Ed Brown. I bought the second 23' made from the Detroit boat show. It had several unique features. The mold had not yet been completed for the inner hull structure so mine was done in all wood. It had a Baldwin Sea drive that I made several modifications to to get it to run correctly. The boat as I understand was originaly intended to be Len's personal boat and as such was made with a thicker hull than all of the others. Having drilled holes through the hull for hull fittings I can attest to that fact. It had a 1,200 fixed lead keel that saved my ass on more occasion including two storm knock downs, one on lake Huron and one on lake St. Clair. In both cases the sails hit the water and she just popped backed up and high tailed it like a scalded rabbit. The color was a bright orange with a white bottom. I never saw another one of that color. The only complaint I ever had of the boat was that when heeled it had a lot of weather helm. Ed said the mast needed to be moved forward more and that this change would be picked up on the next generation of boats. About the only similar boat I could not beat in a straight out race of similar size and shape was a Ranger 24 which is an outright purpose built race boat. I single handed mine from one end of the Great Lakes to the other and always felt safe and secure in that boat. Stupid me, I sold it to buy a house and I have been looking to buy it back ever since. So if any of you knows where an "Orange" 23' Sundance is for sale, please let me know.

She says she has a tear in her hip which will require surgery and then extensive rehabilitation. GaGa said originally the reason she canceled the shows was because she would be unable to perform at the high run around pace she does now and it is not fair to the fans. Honestly, if your hip is busted, you shouldn't run around, but I am really confused why she can't sit at a piano and play them all or just stand in the center of the stage and sing them all. Fans would like that way better than just getting their money back. I wonder if it is because of the poor ticket sales and how when she goes out in public now, people are heckling her instead of applauding her.

Date: September 25, 1997
FIN 97-02, dated July 29, 1997, outlined OPM's implementation of new investigative standards as a result of Executive Order 12968. The purpose of this FIN is to give you guidance in completing the Standard Form 86 for submission to OPM and clarify the new investigative requirements.
As discussed in FIN 97-02, OPM has developed three new products, and adjusted the Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI), to meet the new investigative requirements mandated by E.O. 12968. The National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC), Access NACI (ANACI), SSBI-Periodic Reinvestigation (SSBI-PR) and the adjusted SSBI will be available October 1, 1997. The chart below illustrates the Case Type/Service, Sensitivity Level, and Access Codes to request these new products.
2, 3, 4
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8
0, 1, 2, 7, 8
3, 4, 5
If you want to use the SSBI for access other than TS, SCI, or Q, that investigation will not include the investigative factors mandated by E.O. 12968 that are unique to the TS, SCI or Q levels (i.e., spouse/ cohabitant NACS).
When suitability screening requirements support a more extensive level of investigation, you may request more than the minimum required investigation for access. For example, an MBI, LBI, BI, or SSBI may be used instead of the NACLC or ANACI.
Effective October 1, 1997, any initial or reinvestigation requesting Confidential/Secret/L Access with less than a NACLC or ANACI will be converted to the appropriate case type. Similarly, any PRIS (case type 13) for Top Secret, SCI, or Q Access will be converted to the new SSBI-PR (case type 18). For those investigative agencies that request the NAC portion from OPM and conduct the remaining portion themselves, the NAC (case type 06) will still be available. Please note that the NAC (06) will not include a credit search (unless extra coverage code 2 is indicated) or law checks.
Please be assured that all other OPM products currently in use will continue to be available. There will be no change to your SF85 and/or SF85P submissions, unless you have an agreement that is inconsistent with the new standards.
On all initial investigations, the employing agency is now responsible for corroborating the subjects date and place of birth through a check of appropriate documentation. For example, the subject may present a birth certificate to the employing agency. A check of the Bureau of Vital Statistics records should be conducted when any discrepancy is found to exist.
If you would like OPM to resolve discrepancies, or if your agency is not in a position to conduct the birth corroboration, OPM will continue to provide this service. We obtain birth corroboration through a Bureau of Vital Statistics (BVS) search in the state of the subjects birth. An agency may request a BVS search by placing an "L" in Block B on the SF86. A $15 surcharge will be applied to NACLC and ANACI products.
Note: BVS searches will not be automatically scheduled on the SSBI, SSBI-PR, or PRIS, as was done in the past. The requesting agency now must request a BVS search if needed.
The Personnel Security Committee of the Security Policy Board is currently tasked with revising the SF86 to meet the new guidelines and standards established by E.O. 12968. The current SF 86, revised September 1995, will continue to be used when submitting requests for access investigations. Some questions on the current form specify a time frame of seven years, which is not consistent with E.O. 12968. An attachment to this FIN provides interim instructions for questions on the current SF86. The attachment may be reproduced locally and a copy provided to each person asked to complete an SF86 for a Single Scope Background Investigation.
Any subject completing the SF86 for the NACLC or ANACI product must answer all questions within the time frames provided on the form. Those subjects completing the form for an SSBI-PR must provide information back to the completion date of the last investigation with a minimum requirement of five years.
OPM will continue to advise agencies of any further developments. If you have any questions please contact your Security Appraisal Officer at 202-606-1042 or the Program Services Office at 724-794-5612.
