At Emory & Henry College student employment opportunities are available and can take the form of Federal Work Study (FWS), Institutional Student Employment (ISE), or a combination of FWS and ISE. Student employment positions may pay up to $2,000 a year in exchange for up to 10 hours of work per week by the student. Work study qualified students (where student employment is part of the financial aid package*) are given first priority in finding student employment opportunities and then remaining work positions are made available to any student interested in working on campus.
Student employment opportunities will be posted through College Central Network and will be available for viewing beginning Monday, August 24, 2015.
Instructions for accessing College Central Network
The college cannot guarantee that a student will be able to find employment that fits his or her schedule or desired job duties.
Whether new to the process or returning as a student employee, must complete the student employment application to initiate the 2015–2016 Student Employment Process:
Student Employment Application
After completing the Student Employment Application students will receive additional instructions on accessing student employment opportunities, application instructions, and required paperwork.
Work study qualified students (where student employment is part of the financial aid package*) must complete the Student Employment Application by Friday, September 4 or risk losing their position for the year.
Beginning September 7, 2015 international students (who cannot work off campus) and any need-based student eligible for federal work study (who may have not been awarded initially) will be authorized to apply for positions, but federal work study students may continue to apply for available positions; however, jobs at this point may be fewer than the number of students looking for work.
As of September 14, 2015 any remaining positions will be open to the entire student population regardless of need. Federal work study students who do not have a job by this date will have their work study award cancelled.
*Work Study eligibility for student employment is determined by the Financial Aid Office (Wiley 101) and is a part of the student's total financial aid package. Students who qualify for federal assistance based on their FAFSA results are awarded student employment if their total financial need is not met after all scholarships and grants have been applied to their financial aid package subject to available funding.

Alumni Leadership Council President David Manning - BSBE '88
Since last May, the Lord has challenged me to revisit the practice of prayer in my life. And on this go around, the Lord is challenging me to prioritize and align my prayers in order to experience His partnership in advancing the kingdom. Therefore, I have been stepping deeper into that arena of intercessory prayer with the brethren. As I do, I believe that God wants to know what I really think, feel and desire for His kingdom.

Beady Eye guitarist may be back for November shows
Listen to Beady Eye on iHeartRadio
It looks like sidelined Beady Eye guitarist Gem Archer may be back at it this fall. The band took to Facebook Sunday to tell fans that Archer is doing well, and may even by fully recovered in time to join the rest of the band for a string of shows in November.
Archer was hospitalized earlier this month when he reportedly fractured his skull after falling down a flight of stairs in his home. But the band says he's expected to make a full recovery over the next few weeks, and they're "buzzing" about getting back to work in time to start a U.K. and Ireland tour on November 7th in Dublin. All of Beady Eye's August gigs, meanwhile, have been canceled, including their scheduled appearance at the V Festival this past weekend.
Archer's wife Lou also used social media this weekend to update fans on her husband's condition. She tweeted that Archer's progress is "slow and steady," but called him a "tough cookie." Lou Archer also confirmed that Gem's former Oasis bandmate, Noel Gallagher, has sent his regards, adding, quote, "Of course he has!"

Michael Lohan
Michael Lohan is the father of Lindsay Lohan. Michael just got engaged to Kate Major. After doing over 2 years in jail, he has become a minister and counselor. Michael Lohan's name can often be found in the tabloids due to his confrontational relationship with his ex-wife Dina Lohan.
He's no stranger to run-ins with Johnny Law, and Michael Lohan turned himself in to police on Monday (December 21) due to battery charges stemming from a domestic dispute that occurred back in October.
According to reports, the 55-year-old father of Lindsay Lohan allegedly attacked his wife Kate Major by choking her, and the whole thing can be heard on a video that Major has turned into the authorities.
Lindsay Lohan's father has been hospitalized in Florida after suffering a suspected heart attack.
Michael Lohan, 55, was enjoying a supervised visit with his two young children at a Florida Department of Children and Families office on Wednesday (18Nov15) when he began sweating and experiencing chest pains.
Giving the world an inside look at her nutty life, Lindsay Lohan had a tension-filled lunch with her dad Michael Lohan during last night's episode of "Lindsay" on OWN.
While catching up with her papa, LiLo learned that he couldn't afford to help purchase her brother Cody a car because his child support payments for his other children were too high.
Now that Lindsay's staying out of trouble, it's time for Michael Lohan to shine in more Lohan family drama.
On Thursday night, the father of LiLo called 911 saying that his fiancée Kate Major scratched his face and then zoomed off in her car while "wasted' on alcohol and pills.
He never seems to make headlines for positive reasons, and on Monday (February 17) Michael Lohan continued his negative news streak.
According to TMZ, police in Boca Raton, FL were called to the the 53-year-old father of Lindsay Lohan's home this evening for a domestic dispute.
Friends come and go but family, well, you just can't just toss 'em to the curb. At least that's Lindsay Lohan's latest take on her relationship with her father, Michael.
Fresh out of rehab (again), the troubled actress says she wants Pops Lohan around as she focuses on rebuilding her life. (Talk about a parent trap.)
Although many are hoping another try at rehab will be the answer for Lindsay Lohan, her father Michael Lohan is speaking his mind on whether or not treatment will be successful.
On Thursday (April 11), Michael called in to TMZ Live where he explained that although he "hopes" LiLo will succeed in her upcoming rehab stint, he "doesn't think" that will be the case.
While Lindsay Lohan was facing her legal issues in court, a new member of the Lohan family was being born across the country.
Michael Lohan's fiancée Kate Major gave birth to Landon Major Lohan at 11:39 AM PT in a Florida hospital, according to TMZ.
After her father, Michael Lohan took a DNA test to confirm that he had another daughter, Lindsay Lohan reportedly has no desire to reach out to her half-sister.
Back in 1995, while married to the "Mean Girls" star's mother, Dina, Michael fathered a child with a former mistress. However, it was only recently that the paternity of the child was confirmed through a DNA test taken on national television.
Her family has grown accustomed to all kinds of drama, so it's no wonder Lindsay Lohan has suddenly discovered she has a new sister.
Seventeen-year-old Ashley Horn is the daughter of Michael Lohan and she appeared on "The Trisha Goddard Show" to break the news about her famous family ties.

Saturday's Toronto Coverage
Buffalo Sabres at Toronto Maple Leafs: Saturday game preview (Toronto Star)
A bump on the playoff road
'"The biggest difference was we didn't get the job done penalty killing, which hurt us," coach Lindy Ruff said.'
Missed opportunities leave a sting for Sabres
'"It wasn't like they blew us out of the water," Stafford said. "It's why it hurts a little bit more. They have two of the best players in the world on their team, but we could have played even better. We didn't play our best, but we were in the game with them. I had a chance in the end to tie it up, and I just missed it. It's frustrating."'
Crosby continues making his points
'"We need to make sure we have good habits and the last two games weren't a good display of that so we had to bounce back," Crosby said. "We did a great job of that all the way through."'
Buffalo Sabres lose to Pittsburgh Penguins
'"We dug ourselves a hole a few months ago, but through solid play and sticking with it we're right where we need to be and we have another chance tomorrow to keep pushing toward that goal," said Drew Stafford, who had a golden opportunity to tie the game in the final seconds but saw the puck jump over his stick. "It was frustrating tonight, but we have to get ready for tomorrow."'
Crosby's big night pushes Penguins past Sabres
'In his first appearance here in 15 months, Crosby torched the Sabres for four points – one goal and three assists – helping the Penguins down the Sabres 5-3 in a wildly entertaining affair before a loud capacity crowd of 18,690 fans inside the First Niagara Center.'
Hodgson finding comfort with new city, Sabres
'"It's great," Hodgson said about the area. "I like the fans, too. They're passionate. They know the game. They want the Sabres to do well."'

Crosby sparks Penguins' 5-3 win over Sabres
'"We won't beat this thing to death," Sabres defenseman Jordan Leopold said. "There's a simple formula, we just move forward. We know we can play better."'
Pittsburgh 5, Buffalo 3
'"It's been a playoff mentality for us for a while now," said Miller. "If this was a playoff game we'd be talking about how we have to put this behind us and look to the next game. That's exactly what we have to do."'
Sabres Tripped Up By Pens 5-3
'With the loss, Buffalo remains tied for 8th place in the Eastern Conference with Washington. Both teams have 86 points with four games remaining. The Sabres are at sliding Toronto on Saturday for a 7:00 p.m. faceoff while the Capitals host Montreal.'
Sabres can't totally contain the big guns
'Five on five they're doing a nice job on Malkin, but with four points in the first 35 minutes of the game, Crosby has been too much. Buffalo couldn't stay out of the penalty box as both Malkin's points and two of Crosby's came on the power play.'
The final buzzer: March 30
'"We had our opportunities even late in this game. We had two point-blank opportunities. If Van get his rebound opportunity up, we've got a tie game. And Staff's alone, where the puck goes off the end of his stick, we've been able to capitalize on a lot of those great opportunities. We didn't capitalize on a lot of good ones and when you don't, you keep yourself in a tight game."'
Surging Sabres knocking on playoff door
'"We've talked about it for almost two months now of not getting too excited after wins and enjoying the win and putting it away," Ruff told The Buffalo News. "I think we've done a good job of that. We knew that [Capitals] game was like a four-pointer. That was a game we wanted to get, and we got it."'
Many reasons for Sabres' sudden surge
'"The desperation, the shotblocking, guys giving up their bodies, some of the work coming back into our end, I think are the types of things you see in a playoff," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "There's a physicality about some players that maybe you don't see during the regular season."'

Lockheed Martin to close in Akron
(Akron) – A major Akron employer is closing operations. Lockheed Martin announced today that its facility at the former Goodyear Airdock will be closed by mid-2015, putting about 500 local people out of work. The closure is part of a company-wide plan to close other operations, and as many as 4,000 Lockheed Martin workers nationwide could lose their jobs.
In a statement issued Thursday, Lockheed Martin said the closures and consolidations, including Akron, are "part of its effort to increase the efficiency of its operations and improve the affordability of its products and services. These actions are in response to continued declines in U.S. Government spending.
In addition to Akron, Lockheed Martin also plans to close facilities in Newtown, Penna., Goodyear, Ariz., and Horizon City, Texas. Lockheed Martin is in the global security and aerospace businesses.

Apple CEO's pay takes big hit vs. record 2011 package
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Apple Inc CEO Tim Cook's 2012 compensation package of $4.17 million is a huge cut on paper for the top executive of the most valuable U.S. corporation, after a 2011 package fattened by more than $376 million in long-term stock awards.
Cook received the largest single pay package awarded to a company CEO in about a decade when he replaced Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in August last year, shortly before the Silicon Valley legend's death in October 2011.
The maker of the iPhone and iPad made the 2012 compensation disclosures in a regulatory filing on Thursday. Cook, 52, has been with Apple since 1998.
Virtually all of Cook's $376 million stock bonus in 2011 was in awards that vest in two chunks - one in 2016 and the other in 2021. This structure was intended to keep Jobs' longtime lieutenant at the helm for many years, as the value of the stock will depend on how well the company is doing in 2016 and 2021.
Cook, who is credited with masterminding a sprawling but efficient Asian supply chain, has generally received high marks for his first year for shepherding several successful gadget launches, including the iPhone 5.
But he was forced to make a public apology in September after the company launched a mapping service application riddled with glaring geographical errors. The Maps app fiasco contributed to the departure of fellow Apple veteran and software chief Scott Forstall.
In addition, some analysts questioned whether Cook, whose only major new product since taking the helm was a smaller version of the iPad that Jobs propelled into the mainstream in 2010, has the vision to produce the next big product category and sustain historically stellar growth for Apple as global mobile competition intensifies.
"The jury is still out in terms of the job he is doing," said fund manager Tim Ghriskey, whose Solaris Group counts Apple stock as the biggest holding among the approximately $2 billion it manages.
But he added that the company's long-term prospects look strong, particularly if it rolls out oft-rumored television products in the next few years. Continued...

Awesome write-up. Everything else worked like a charm.
Anyone else have any breakthroughs with NC10 or N110? My N110 was able to boot from my USB LG DVD writer without the extra USB power cable. That means its USB port power is nice and strong.

This is where i come for my bee info and it is the only site i am a member of for bee info. I go to talkhunting.com for hunting talk and was just courious how many beekeepers were also hunters.
Cool!!! I will work out of there!
I'm looking to get into Falconry this coming year. I like the notion of Hawk and Man working together to catch game
I've taken more deer with my semi than I have with a bow or rifle. Gunna give it another try this modern firearm season. a friend from work and I will be heading up to my folks' property up in Darrington, WA for the famous Columbian Blacktail Deer (only found on the west coast from norther cali to southern alaska, a relative to the mule deer). Will set up camp at their property on the Saulk river and then 4x4 up the logging roads into the mountains. I haven't been hunting in almost 11 years and am really looking forward to this trip! Went to the range earlier today and last monday to make sure I remembered how to shoot my 30-06. Got it zero'ed in and am ready to go!!! Cant wait!!!!!Sean Kelly

Talk about rolling the dice, the New York Jets are moving fast and furious in pursuit of a new general manager to replace the recently fired Mike Tannenbaum.
According to Brian Bassett of SNY's the Jets Blog, Tom Gamble, the San Francisco 49ers Director of Player Personnel, is the leading candidate to direct New York's front office. Gamble has 25 years of NFL experience coaching, scouting and negotiating player contracts. He spent the 1995 and 1996 seasons roaming the Jets sidelines and his father Harry Gamble was the former president of the Philadelphia Eagles who presided over Rex Ryan's father Buddy in the City of Brotherly Love.
Gamble's familiarity with Gang Green along with his longstanding relationship with the Ryan family making him an ideal fit in the Big Apple. The Jets are expected to announce their new general manager hiring next week, making the appointment of Gamble official.
Gamble was the center piece of a Niners front office that sent nine players to the Pro Bowl this season including drafting defensive end Aldon Smith, free safety Dashon Goldson and linebackers Patrick Willis and Navorro Bowman.
While all indications are that New York will move forward with Gamble, the New York Post reported on Saturday that Marc Ross, the Giants Director of College Scouting, is scheduled to interview with the Jets on Monday. Gang Green has narrowed its search and is honed in on Gamble to help dig the team out of salary cap hell and rebuild the Jets into a playoff contender in 2013 and beyond.

Here is the installation of
C1&C2 on April 28th, 2004
- read the previous log for further details.
Here we are in May already, the beekeeping year has started JUST ABOUT everywhere, although several members of the forum STILL DO NOT HAVE BEES because of (at least in one case) too much rain in the South, allowing poor feeding, slow queen production and few packages to be had.
I guess my delay wasn't so bad, at least C1&C2 are in place and out flying regularly. Today they were bundled up though with overnight temps in the high 30s again and a high today of 62F. It's May and probably the coldest May in many many years in this region.
I can't expect miracles from the bees - I'm happy to see them flying about when they can and both taking the sugar-water, although C1 is stronger at taking and storing the syrup.
I had hoped to get into the hives today (day 5 since installation) but it is too cold to play with such things. I know 62F isn't THAT cold, but it is windy and late in the afternoon by time I get home from work and I'd rather wait until tomorrow and hope it's warmer than today, making the whole inspection process a bit easier on me and the bees.
I'm a firm believer in doing any activity involving the bees when MOST are out foraging and when the weather complies to such foraging is not a windy cool afternoon when I want to see if my queens have beem released.
Now... if another day or two goes by and it doesn't get any warmer, then I will have to go in because you just can't wait forever to see if your queens are ok - each day you lose is a day you can't make up later, the calendar just keeps on turning and TRUST ME before you know it, you will be reading Octobers logbook entry.
That is a very important point, don't drag your feet too long, the bees have a tight schedule that requires colony growth, honey storage, good queen selection and prolific development that requires YOU to decide if "The queen" is going to do the job of getting to the Fall successfully or will she need to be replaced.
Being a beekeeper is very much like engineering a train - you really don't steer it, you just keep it on track! That is your job, to let the bees do BEE-STUFF while you direct the show behind the scenes. You are the magician, not the trick. Don't wait until you can't take a frame from the hive to discover that burr-comb has been built-in so tightly that you need to destroy the hive to disassemble it - keep on top of things, interact with the bees and let them get to know you - and in return, you have friendlier and more responsive connection with your hives.
Later the same day
I had seriously thought about opening the hives but it never did warm up all that much - so we see what tomorrow brings. I don't mind it being a little chilly but the wind today was very strong and returning foragers are not very good aim when trying to flop on the landing board, they usually end up banging against you in their first attempt, not to forget that the VIEW is different from when they left - the hive is opened up and they are looking in to the top (often with a full super or wo missing) and their little minds start thinking jiggy - lol. Nope, sometimes you need to let them be.
But it was a good day for the FORUM, lots of posts and I even covered my own history (2 years worth) of Apitherapy - bee stings for pain relief. Here is the link if you want to read about the topic
I will say that I found it very helpful.
We are up to 110 members with 1680 posts in 10 weeks, that is awesome really! Our first member from Poland joined today, gaining another country is always cool in this "International" Forum - I'm proud to use the term International here honestly with the membership being from all points of the globe I think we are building a collection of thinking that will greatly aid all of use in our bee yards.
I'll never forget when I went to boiler training at Carrier School in Syracuse, New York, where I stayed 5 nights at an Embassy Suites Hotel and lived like a king for that stay: we had an Iranian in the class and we used the words "Boiler Stack" often in the class - now here is this poor fellow who was struggling with English and he heard this word STACK for the first time in his life being used over and over again; finally he raised his hand and asked "Is this Stack thing anything similar to a Chimney?" and we all learned that day that some terms are local, that is VERY TRUE in beekeeping too.
Keep in mind when you are posting in the forum that you are speaking to many people around the world, some may not know what a SUPER is and many have never used anything other than home made skep or other nuc like boxes. It's easy for most of us to hit the Dadant's Online Shopping Cart or whomever you buy from and a few clicks later you have your shipment on the way to your door, often pre-assembled and ready to throw over the bees: don't assume MOST of the world works that way, is doesn't.
I love the forum, I know there are many members with much more knowledge about honeybees and beekeeping than I do - that is one of the major reasons I thought the forum so important to offer, it allowed you to hear different views and decide for yourself WHICH made sense for you! I try to be right all of the time, no one is though and knowing that is at least a step in the right direction - it keeps the forum real by adding the simple words "In my opinion" or "I believe" before anything that is INDEED opinion.
Until NEXT POST HERE - see you in the forum. As of 10pm est, I'm thinking that tomorrow is a go for queen searching. Keep your fingers crossed and with a bit of luck, all will be well in my humble bee yard.
More coming... Don't go away!
May 5, 2004
Great news to start off my 2004 Beekeeping season - I beat the rain and got to open up C1&C2 and both queens are released, both were seen and plenty of eggs in C1 - C2 is busy and enjoying life, but I didn't see eggs yet in C2 - but I'm happy enough to have queens in both hives alive and well.
My guess is that C1 released the queen 2 to 4 days ago and C2 maybe yesterday. Of course C2 may have a weak queen, we will know soon, now that they are out of the queen cages, I don't mind interacting regularly with them!
In both hives the workers were building queen cells - this is VERY COMMON - you need to realize that "until the actual queen releasal" the hive was theorethically queenless, this simple comfinement of the queens is a trick often used in queen rearing boxes at professional and commercial levels of beekeeping.
But I spotted a bunch, probably 1.5 frames of eggs in C1 and again C2 queen is happily walking around looking stuff over and well escorted as she does. The hive demeanor of both is EXELLENT.
MIND YOU... this WAS NOT A PHOTO OPERTUNITY - you don't mess with the camera until you know the queen is ok and moving about in the hive - the camera will be used next time I promise, but this was the (slightly delayed) initial inspection.
Interestingly enough, this is the first time in over a decade that BOTH QUEENS were in the UPPER SUPER - remember I gave them 5 frames of honey each, along with drawn comb in 2 supers: 8 frames total drawn comb and two frames with undrawn foundation to allow for the fitting of the queen cages with the "stupid little metal straps" that came attached to the queen cages.
So both queens were in the upper super, easily explained by the cold weather and amount of food placed up there. It may be necessary later to use excluders to get them back down bottom where they belong - this is an adjustment on my part to make up for chilly weather. We are still in the high 30s and low 40s at night, I expected to see them up top and sure enough they were there, where the food is!
I just like to keep everyone updated, I do have a several schools who are following along again and they will be interested in the successful installation of C1&C2. Glad to start off in pretty good shape, I'm not sure the strength of the queen in C2, I'll be happier when I see eggs - but for now, we are doing very very good!
May 9, 2004
I got back into the hives today and was very pleased. It is great Spring day here, warm, lightest of breezes and sunny. I smoked both hives well, waited 15 minute and went into both colonies - finding both queens easily and tons of eggs and larva in both. No Pupa cappings yet, but that really gives me a clear idea of the releasal dates of the queens and any delay in laying due to the weather.
C1 queen is puffing up nicely (queens do get larger and paler in color as their reproductive systems kick into gear) and C2 is busily laying in very nice patterns.
The demeanor of the hives is exellent - both went about their duties as if I weren't there! Lots of drawn comb, and a great deal of pollen stored and they both are taking sugar-water nicely, although C1 still has the advantage over C2 in THAT department. Now, after seeing that both hives are in GREAT SHAPE, I can conclude that C1 is taking the sugar-water faster because I placed additional space for them to store it when I divvied out the frames of drawn comb.
So all is great at Beemaster's yard, behind schedule only due to the weather and shipping delays, but right on schedule in hive growth since the releasal of the queens.
NOTE: The neighbor (and their new puppy) got to see C2 queen up close and personal and even the furry smell of a puppy didn't excite the bees - that is really a good sign of hive health and well being.
May 13, 2004
I had spare hive parts in my tool shed, forgot to close the door and came home after work to find a ton of bees "I ASSUMED" to be my two colonies robbing any excess stuff from the old used frames.
After moving them out front of the house, shaking them from the frames and noting that none flew back to my hives, I went on a queen search and sure enough, I found her. There is now a Colony Three (C3) at Beemaster Central. Something I didn't want, but something I have and will take good care of.
I've spent the last two hours moving the queens of C1&C2 down into the lower boxes of their respective hives and made a good healthy looking hive for C3 - ugh.
I have to return the completed hive to the shed so all the returning foragers find their way into the hiive and then tonight MOVE them over to when the other hives are.
If I never ordered bees, a swarm NEVER would have captured me - lol. But $142 worth of bees in my two main colonies are all doing great - lots of SEALED BROOD TOO today in BOTH HIVES, so all is well here. I just got more than what I bargained for, big time!
I had trouble finding an outer cover and finally found it tucked under my over-turned canoe for some reason - lol. The C3 colony is still in the shed, active about 3 time more so that C or C2 but bee count in C3 is much greater too, although they have very little food and no brood - I do have a frame of honey, drawn comb (3 frames total) and a feeder hooked up and getting them plenty of sugar-water.
Tonight though, I will be moving them over by the other hives - I couldn't do it without an outer cover. Speaking of which, I proiced Telescoping (I alway loved that word - as if there were some mechanical properties to it's functionality) outer covers and without mentioning names, I saw prices from $14.95 to $28.95 for the exact product. I will say shopping around is a BIG MONEY SAVER in this hobby, luckily I found the one I knew I had, so all I need to do is wait until dark, and move them to their new location and make sure the shed is closed up tight the next few days.
A final point I feel I need to repeat:
I choose to NOT have any advertising in the forum or on my website, not mine, not anyones. That makes this uniquely different from any other beekeeping forum, most of which are there to create a NOT a membership but a customer data base and I never want to go there. I want you to enjoy this forum and website on face value, no motives other than education and communications.
I only say that because I try to read every post, I can't possibly answer them all, but I have a good idea what is the mood of the forum - I deleted a post resently because of it's commercial nature, not just because it was commercial in nature, but because the posting member made no effort to be active in any manor other than post his commercial - that's negative mojo and not what our friendly and active forum is for.
We have a TRADING POST FORUM and I hope if you are looking for a unique item and can't find it, or if you have something to sell then please use it, beats staying here with people you know than going to an on-line auction that you are taking a chance with.

Some insight to my latest bee issue - if you haven't read, I now have a Colony 3, a swarm that found my stored old supers in my shed and they are a strong 5 or 6 pounds of bees and today I got to move them over by the other hives.
I went in the shed after finding a outer cover and I opened the inner cover and pulled a frame that seemed very busy and sure enough as soon as I lifted it in the air (no smoke - but these are happy bees) I saw the queen walk over the top bar and go airborn in my shed.
I told before a nightmare of having a virgin queen go out to mate from my observation hive just to return and land on STICKY FLY TAPE - it was horrible - ugh. So I had all kinds of thoughts popping in my head.
I watched her walk up my 4 foot level that was leaning against something, just out of my reach - buzz over to a tall stand and quickly waddle to the rear out of reach without moving stuff and possibly squishing her. I had a dozen or so bees flying around the shed and couldn't tell if she were one of them cause it was dark in there and I stepped out hoping to see her land on the entrance board, but no such luck.
I walked back into the shed and looked down and there she was WALKING ONTO MY BOOT - lol. I picked her up by the wings, tried to get her into the entrance and she crawled up my finger and arm with a small army of workers following like a line of ants to a picnic.
I got her again, lowered her to the entrance and finally she walked inside without me booting her on the butt with my finger. I shook off the others and got out of there feeling much better about the whole thing. What a day - lol. After sundown, I finally got to move the hive to it's new location - I just now checked and only a few workers looking for the hive in the shed.
Patience is a virtue and practically MAGIC when dealing with your bees - work AROUND and WITH them, not THROUGH them and you'll usually end your bee day with a smile.

Hi John,
I am reading your interesting log rather late and found your adventure with the C3 free flying queen fascinating. Would it not be safer to move your C3 three feet at a time till it reach the position of C1 & C2? Thats what I will do since I can never imagine myself ever able to catch the queen in free flight in a dark shed.
As to my own bee yard, the bees I so painstakenly moved to my Langstroth hive suffered a bad case of wax moth attack (I think) & they absconded, this time luckily back to their old coconut log hive standing 15 feet away. I will try to send pictures to you for confirmation whether it is wax moth. I will also send pictures of the water tank bees being coaxed into a proper hive using fine hardware mesh cloth formed into a tubing. So I now still have 4 hives.

I lost one of my hives due to a bad case of wax moth. I didn't realize how bad it was untill I noticed the trafic going in/out was not abnormaly slow.
The funny part was my buddy down the street said there was a swarm in the naibors yard and thought it might be mine. I said no it couldnt be and latter found only 50 bodies in my hive. :lol:

An American power company with close financial ties to the Bush administration has ben named as one of the world's highest producers of global warming pollution. Power plants now emit 40% of United States greenhouse gas and 25% of the world's. Southern Company executives have given lavishly to Bush presidential campaigns and since 1990 bestowed $6.2 million on their favorite Republican candidates. A single Southern Company plant in Juliette, Georgia, already emits more carbon dioxide annually than Brazil's entire power sector! lIt is the sixth worst pollution plant in the entire world. Southern is feared by many politicians in Washington D.C. because of its large lobbyist staff and the money given for political campaigns. Haley Barbour, a noted Southern lobbyist reportedly told George Bush after his electoral victory, "Hey, Mr. President, we didn't elect you to have high energy costs." After serving in the Bush administration, Barbour went on to become governor of Mississippi.
At present, US electricity companies pour 2.8 billion tons of CO2 each year into the atmosphere and lead the world, but there is good news on the horizon– China now emits 2.7 billion and is certain to overcome the United States in this category of being the world's worst polluter.

How's It Going: The New CPT Codes for Psychiatry for 2013
So our psychiatric society now has a separate listserv just for CPT code issues (not my idea) and the CPT posts on both listservs are flying in. What codes to use, what codes insurers are denying, what rates insurers are paying. I'm not sure anything has caused such confusion and angst in recent years.
How's it going for you?
My CPT YouTube Tutorials are still up if you'd like to watch, but with so much speculation going on among the professionals, I don't think anyone has any idea what we are supposed to be doing.
For one patient back in December, I requested pre-authorization for psychotherapy with med management (the old 90807), I was sent authorization to see the patient for 20 visits for 99211 -- 5 minute visits (and they said that). I re-submitted a Uniform Treatment Plan asking for authorization for more reasonable codes, but just the idea!
So it's been just about a month: If you're a patient, are you getting reimbursed? If you're a shrink: are you getting paid? I'll ask again in a few weeks, but I'm assuming I'll be filling out many repeat statements for patients to submit.
Tell me your stories!

Focus on Economic Data: Gross Domestic Product - December 2002
Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during the fourth quarter (October through December) of 2002 increased at an annual rate of 0.7 percent. For the entire 2002 year, real GDP increased at a rate of 2.4 percent. This is the advance release of the data for the quarter and will be updated in the February 28th release of the GDP data. This compares to rates of 5.0 percent in the first quarter, 1.3% in the second quarter of year, and 4.0% in the third quarter. During 2001, real GDP increased by .3 percent - a year in which real GDP fell during the first three quarters. Annual growth rates in 1999 and 2000 were 4.1 percent and 3.8 percent.

Material that appears in italics is included in the teacher version only. All other material appears in the student version. Throughout the semester, the GDP cases will become progressively more comprehensive and advanced.
You may wish to use the following larger versions of the graphs and tables from this lesson for overhead projection or handouts in class:
- Power Point (60 KB)
Definition of Gross Domestic Product
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is one measure of economic activity, the total amount of goods and services produced in the United States in a year. It is calculated by adding together the market values of all of the final goods and services produced in a year.
- It is a gross measurement because it includes the total amount of goods and services produced, some of which are simply replacing goods that have depreciated or have worn out.
- It is domestic production because it includes only goods and services produced within the U.S.
- It measures current production because it includes only what was produced during the year.
- It is a measurement of the final goods produced because it does not include the value of a good when sold by a producer, again when sold by the distributor, and once more when sold by the retailer to the final customer. We count only the final sale.
Changes in GDP from one year to the next reflect changes in the output of goods and services and changes in their prices. To provide a better understanding of what actually is occurring in the economy, real GDP is also calculated. In fact, these changes are more meaningful, as the changes in real GDP show what has actually happened to the quantities of goods and services, independent of changes in prices.
Why are Changes in Real Gross Domestic Product Important?
The measurement of the production of goods and services produced each year permits us to evaluate our monetary and fiscal polices, our investment and saving patterns, the quality of our technological advances, and our material well-being. Changes in real GDP per capita provide our best measures of changes in our material standards of living.
While rates of inflation and unemployment and changes in our income distribution provide us additional measures of the successes and weaknesses of our economy, none is a more important indicator of our economy's health than rates of change in real GDP.
Changes in real GDP are discussed in the press and on the nightly news after every monthly announcement of the latest quarter's data or revision. This current increase in real GDP will be discussed in news reports both as a sign that the economy continues to recover from a recession in 2001 and that the recovery is somewhat slower than many observers expected, especially following several quarters of strong growth. This latest quarter will almost certainly be viewed as a sign that the economy may not be recovering as well as thought or that a second recession may even be on the way.
Real GDP trends are prominently included in discussions of potential slowdowns and economic booms. They are featured in many discussions of trends in stock prices. Economic commentators use falls in real GDP as indicators of recessions. The most popular (although inaccurate) definition of a recession is at least two consecutive quarters of declining real GDP. See below for a discussion of the 2001 recession.
The Federal Reserve is concerned with the slow growth that is exhibited in the last quarter. The President in the State of the Union address discussed economic policy to ensure that the economy returns to more rapid growth.
Goals of Case Study
The goals of the GDP Case Studies are to provide teachers and students:
- access to easily understood, timely interpretations of monthly announcements of rates of change in real GDP and the accompanying related data in the U.S. economy;
- descriptions of major issues surrounding the data announcements;
- brief analyses of historical perspectives;
- questions and activities to use to reinforce and develop understanding of relevant concepts; and
- a list of publications and resources that may benefit classroom teachers and students interested in exploring inflation.
Data Trends
The growth in real GDP at the end of the 1990s has been relatively high when compared with the early part of the 1990s. However, during the last two quarters of 2000, the rate of growth of real gross domestic product slowed significantly and during the first three quarters of 2001, the rate of growth of real gross domestic product was actually negative as the U.S. economy entered a recession in March of 2001. The changes in real GDP were negative for the first time since 1993.
The Federal Reserve responded to slowing growth and the recession by reducing the target federal funds rate by 475 basis points (4.75%) from January 2001 to December 2001 (and then again by another .5 percent in November 2002). (See the Federal Reserve and Monetary Policy Cases.) The effects of stimulative monetary policy and the resulting low interest rates have helped increase consumer spending during and since the recession.
The price index for GDP increased at a rate of 1.8percent during the fourth quarter of 2002, compared to an increase of 1.2 percent during the third quarter of 2002. It increased at an annual rate of 1.1 percent for 2002, compared to 2.4 percent for 2001.
The rate of increase in real GDP has been not only higher in the last several years than in the first part of the 1990s, but also when compared to much of the 1970s and 1980s. Economic growth, as measured by average annual changes in real GDP, was 4.4 percent in the 1960s. Average rates of growth decreased during the 1970s (3.3%), the 1980s (3.0%), and the first half of the 1990s (2.2%). In the last five years of the 1990s, the rate of growth in real GDP increased to 3.8 percent, with the last three years of the 1990s being at or over 4.1 percent per year.
The upward trend in economic growth over the past decade has been accompanied by increases in the rates of growth of consumption spending, investment spending, and exports. Productivity increases, expansions in the labor force, decreases in unemployment, and increases in the amount of capital have allowed real GDP to grow at the faster rates.
Details of the Fourth-Quarter Changes in Real GDP
Real GDP increased at an annual rate of 0.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2002 compared to a rise of 4.0 percent in the third quarter of 2002. The causes of the slowing growth were a decrease in the rate of growth of consumption spending and declines in inventory investment and exports. The contributors to the increase in real GDP were increases government spending, consumption, equipment and software, and residential fixed investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.
Remember that the reported number is the advance number and is likely to be revised by at least a moderate amount in February. The preliminary number incorporates more data to ensure accuracy and is often different from the advance numbers.
On November 26, 2001, the National Bureau of Economic Research announced though its Business Cycle Dating Committee that it had determined that a peak in business activity occurred in March of 2001. That signals the official beginning of a recession.
The NBER defines a recession as a "significant decline in activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, visible in industrial production, employment, real income, and wholesale-retail trade." The current data show a decline in employment, but not as large as in the previous recession. Real income growth has slowed but not declined. Manufacturing and trade sales and industrial production have both declined and have been doing so for some time.
As seen during this quarter, consumers are increasing their spending and businesses are increasing inventories. Government spending continues to increase and investment spending is increasing, all of which contribute to speculation that we are currently coming out of the recession.
While it most surely has ended, the Business Cycle Dating Committee has not yet declared the end of the recession. The end of the previous recession occurred in March of 1991, but was not declared until December 1992. If the 2001 recession actually ended in the late fall of 2001, it may not be until at least next summer (of 2003) before the end of the 2001 recession is declared.
Two of the primary indicators used by the NBER committee are employment and real income. Employment reached a peak in March of 2001 and decreased through April of 2002. Employment increased from May to August and then declined again during September and October of this fall. Real income (minus transfer payments) reached a peak in November and December of 2000, declined through October of 2001, and has climbed back almost to its peak level as of August of this year. These two indicators alone would lead to the conclusion that the recession may have ended somewhere between October of 2001 and May of 2002.
The Federal Open Market Committee at its most recent meeting decided to lower the target federal funds rate because of its concern that the economy may not be recovering from the recession at a sufficient pace. (See the latest FOMC case study.)

A Hint About News Reports
Many news reports simply use "gross domestic product" as a term to describe this announcement. The actual announcement focuses on the REAL gross domestic product, and that is the meaningful part of the report. In addition, newspapers will often refer to the rate of growth during the most recent quarter and will not always refer to the fact that it is reported at annual rates of change. This is contrasted to the reports of the consumer price index, which are reported at actual percentage changes in the index for a single month, and not at annual rates.
Explanations of GDP and its Components
It is common to see the following equation in economics textbooks:
Consumption spending (C) consists of consumer spending on goods and services. It is often divided into spending on durable goods, non-durable goods, and services. These purchases accounted for 70 percent of GDP in 2002.
- Durable goods are items such as cars, furniture, and appliances, which are used for several years (8%).
- Non-durable goods are items such as food, clothing, and disposable products, which are used for only a short time period (20%).
- Services include rent paid on apartments (or estimated values for owner-occupied housing), airplane tickets, legal and medical advice or treatment, electricity and other utilities. Services are the fastest growing part of consumption spending (41%).
Investment spending (I) consists of non-residential fixed investment, residential investment, and inventory changes. Investment spending accounts for 15 percent of GDP, but varies significantly from year to year. It is currently down as falls in investment spending have been a major cause of the recession and decrease in growth.
- Non-residential fixed investment is the creation of tools and equipment to use in the production of other goods and services. Examples are the building of factories, the production of new machines, and the manufacturing of computers for business use (11%).
- Residential investment is the building of a new homes or apartments (5%).
- Inventory changes consist of changes in the level of stocks of goods necessary for production and finished goods ready to be sold (less than -1%).
Government spending (G) consists of federal, state, and local government spending on goods and services such as research, roads, defense, schools, and police and fire departments. This spending (19%) does not include transfer payments such as Social Security, unemployment compensation, and welfare payments, which do not represent production of goods and services. Federal defense spending now accounts for approximately 4 percent of GDP. State and local spending on goods and services accounts for 12 percent of GDP.
Net Exports (NX) is equal to exports minus imports. Exports are goods and services produced in the U.S. and purchased by foreigners (10%). Imports are items produced by foreigners and purchased by U.S. consumers (14%). Thus, net exports (exports minus imports) are negative, about -4% of the GDP. (For more information on the balance of trade, see the Trade Report case study.)
How can we increase economic growth in the future?
[Economic growth is a function of the technological innovation and the amount and quality of labor and capital in the economy:
As more people are employed, the amount of capital increases, education levels increase, the quality of capital changes, or the technology increases, the productive capacity of the economy increases. Therefore, the economy can increase its output giving consumers more disposable income, promoting an increase in consumption spending, and providing resources for business to use for further investment and government to use to provide public goods and services.
Increased labor force participation increases output. Expanded, improved education creates more productive workers. Business and government spending on research and development enhance our abilities to produce and allow each worker to become more productive, increasing incomes for all. Finally, to achieve a higher level of GDP in the future, consumers need to limit consumption spending and increase savings today, permitting businesses to invest more in capital goods. If resources are invested into building an economy now, future generations will enjoy a higher level of economic growth; our businesses will produce more goods and consumers can purchase more goods. Expansion of output at rates faster than our population growth is what gives us the opportunity to enjoy higher standards of living.]
GDP as a Measure of Well-being
Changes in real GDP are a more accurate representation of meaningful economic growth than changes in nominal GDP, because changes in real GDP represent changes in quantities produced, while prices are held constant. Real GDP per capita is even more relevant because it measures goods and services produced per person and thus approximates the amount of goods and services each person can enjoy. If real GDP grows, but the population grows faster, then each person, on average, is actually worse off than the change in real GDP would indicate.
Consider the table below. While the mainland part of China has a GDP of $991 billion, its GDP per capita is only $791.30. Hong Kong has a much smaller GDP of $159 billion. However, its GDP per capita is much higher at $23,639.58. Other nations, such as France and Germany, may have quite different GDPs, but GDPs per capita that are very close.
|GDP (billions)
|Per Capita GDP
(Hong Kong)
|United States
GDP per capita is not a perfect estimate of well-being. When individuals grow their own food, build their own houses and sew their own clothes, they are not producing goods and services to be sold in a marketplace and therefore GDP does not change. As a result, many countries South America and Africa have a low GDP per capita that underestimates their well-being.
(The comparisons in the above table are of nominal GDP per capita, not real GDP per capita. As we are comparing per capita figures for the same year there is no need to deflate the nominal figures into real figures.)
Are extimates of GDP accurate measures of our well being?
[GDP fails to account for many forms of production that improve a person's well being. For example, if you make a meal at home, the labor is not included. However, if you were to go out to a restaurant and consume that same meal, the labor is included in GDP. Unpaid work at home or for a friend and volunteer work is not included and thus GDP does not reflect production of all we produce.
External effects of production, such as pollution, are not subtracted from the value of GDP. Although two countries may have similar GDP growth rates, one country may have significantly cleaner water and air, and therefore is truly better off than the other country. If as economic growth accelerates, producers begin to employ production techniques that create more pollution, the effects of the growth are overstated.
GDP includes police protection, new prisons, and national defense as goods and services. It is not always clear that if we have to devote increased resources for such purposes that we are better off as a result.
GDP includes the effects of price changes. An increase in GDP due solely to inflation does not signal an improvement in living standards. Real GDP is a better measure. Nor does GDP reflect population growth. Changes in the income distribution are not measured. It is also difficult to compare rates of growth for different countries, as countries use different means of estimating income and price levels in their economy.
There are a variety of other weaknesses and inaccuracies, but GDP accounting is the best that we have. Real GDP does provide sound signals as to the direction of change of a selected large part of what we produce each year. Government statisticians and academics are constantly working to improve its accuracy and its ability to reflect our well-being.]
The U.S. as a Wealthy Country
Country Percentage of Global GDP Population Percentage of World Population
|United States
|United Kingdom
An alternative way of comparing the size of world economies is to calculate the percentage of the world GDP (approximately $32 trillion) produced in each country and compare that to the percentage of the world's population living in each country. As seen in the table above, the top ten countries in terms of gross domestic product comprise 75 percent of the global GDP with only 35 percent of the world's population. The U.S. alone produces a third of the goods bought and sold around the world with only 4.7 percent of the world's population. There are significant differences in the wealth of nations and the income of its citizens.
Revisions in GDP Announcements
Real GDP for each quarter is announced three times. The month following the end of the quarter is described as the advance GDP; the second announcement or revision is described as the preliminary announcement; and the third month is the final. While labeled as the final version, even it will eventually be revised after the final data for the year are published. Since 1978, the advance estimates of the rate of growth in real GDP have been revised an average of 0.5 percent in the next month's preliminary estimate. The preliminary estimates have been revised by an average of an additional 0.3 percent.
Revisions in inventory investment and the international trade data are often the causes of changes in the GDP figures. Because changes in inventories and international trade data make up significant portions of the current report, one should be particularly cautious in using the "advance" (that is, this month's figures) and "preliminary" figures.

|Income tax receipts
|Business purchases of new factories and equipment and changes in inventories
|Federal government spending on goods and services
|Construction of new homes
|State and local spending on goods and services
|Changes in inventories
|- 300
Given the following data (in billions of current dollars),
- what is the level of government spending in the calculation of GDP? [Government spending equals $1,850 ($550 plus $1,300). Government spending is equal to the sum of federal spending on goods and services and state and local spending on goods and services. Social security payments are transfers of income from tax payers to social security recipients and do not represent the production of goods and services.]
- what is the level of investment? [Investment equals $1,700 ($1,800 + 200 - 300). New factories and equipment and construction of new homes are included in investment. However, since business inventories fell, we subtract $300 billion from investment in structures, equipment, and residential housing to get the investment portion of GDP.]
- what is the level of net exports? [Net exports equal a minus $400 ($1,100 - 1,500). Net exports are exports minus imports. In this case, the economy has a balance of trade deficit.]
- calculate the level of gross domestic product. [GDP equals $10,150 billion ($7,000 + 1,850 + 1,700 - 400). GDP equals consumption spending plus government spending on goods and services plus investment spending plus net exports.]
- If GDP has increased by 5 percent and inflation is 3 percent, what has happened to real GDP? [Inflation is 2 percent. If nominal GDP has increased by 5 percent and the amount of output has increased by 3 percent, the remaining increase in nominal GDP must be due to price increases.]
- If GDP increases by 5 percent and real GDP decreased by 2 percent, what has happened to the average price level? [Inflation is 7 percent. If nominal GDP increases by 5 percent and the amount of output falls by 2 percent, then prices must have increased by 7 percent. (This is a case of stagflation - both falling real GDP and rising prices.)]
Other Questions for Students
- If gross domestic product increases by 10 percent over a year, are we better off? Why or why not? [Perhaps we are better off. Part of the answer depends upon what is happening to prices and what is happening to population. If prices and population together are rising by more than 10 percent per year, than we, on average, are worse off. We have fewer goods and services per person.]
- If consumers begin to purchase automobiles manufactured abroad instead of those manufactured in the U.S., what will happen to real GDP? Will the answer be different if consumers are simply increasing their spending and those purchases are of automobiles manufactured abroad? [Consumption spending will remain the same; however, imports will increase. Real GDP in the U.S. will decrease. In the second instance, consumption spending increased, but imports increased by an equal amount. Real GDP does not change. The components do change.]
- Why are wages and profits not included in gross domestic product? [Gross domestic product includes all of the production of goods and services in a year. Production of consumption, investment, government, and net export goods is included. Therefore, wages are not added to the total amounts of production when calculating GDP. But, production also generates income. Every dollar that is spent on goods and services eventually becomes income to someone - the workers, the owners, and the lenders. An alternative way of calculating GDP is to add all of the incomes earned by all participants in the economy.]

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I could not find in a quick scan of this thread - where and when he bought the boat. If it was in the time frame 2005 to 2007 and in the southern/eastern USA or the Caribbean, it is likely that the boat was a Hurricane Ivan boat.
- - It is very important when searching for a boat to get the history of where the boat was during its life. Over 600 boats were wrecked on Grenada during Hurricane Ivan. More than half were in boatyards and simply fell off their jackstands. Being there in the aftermath of the Hurricane I saw up close and personal how just falling off jackstands can severely damage the insides of a boat. The most typical damage was fractured tabbing on all the bulkheads. Even when the outside hull looked intact the insides were a mess.
- - These boats were declared total losses and then packed onboard DYT and taken up island or motored down to Trinidad or other places. A few were locally repaired but most went back to the USA for sale to companies specializing in cleaning up the boat cosmetically and selling the boat, as is, where is at very attractive prices. Even the locally repaired and other repaired boats were not correctly repaired and thus were candidates for future disasters should they encounter large seas.
- - So add to your list when considering buying a used boat - what is its history? Get a legally binding clause in the sales contract that it was not a hurricane wrecked/damaged boat. Make your surveyor check bulkheads and other damage hidden inside if you suspect the boat was ever in a hurricane zone.
I agree that time is running out. I know the boat well and I am actualy amazed that its been out there this long and hasn't gone under yet. That said, if the water just got to the floor boards after 4 months it will be another month before the main house battery bank will be under water; from there its all over. Im sure that motoring it anywhere is out of the question as the starter and aux bank are gone by now. Anyways, in speaking with george he's pretty much had it with Gringo and has said his farewell. If anybodys know of somebody out there, re-direct them to the boat as there's plenty of goods on booard. Im sure George would be happier if somebody got something rather than the abyss. If done maybe they culd send him his photo album (family photos and stuff) as a thanks....
If there is water above the floorboards; she might be gone before you get there. It's closer to 550 miles due east of Bermuda (~80deg bearing) so the best possible way would be to fly to Bermuda and then hire a salver to go retrieve it. But that is all at the discretion of the salvage company as it was when he was trying to get in to Bermuda to begin with.
For the most part I think the vessel is lost; unless it turns up off the coast of the Azores in a few months.
Sorry to hear this story; but it does serve as a reminder that the devil is in the details when it comes to going out across oceans and into unknown ports.
Found at Sea
Hello all, I wanted to share some further details on the subject. First and foremost, the Vagabond now rates higher in my books as good off shore sailing vessel. The reason I say this is because we have just recieved information from the US Coast Gaurd that the E-pirb on GRINGO activated and was located at 33-12.8N & 055-22.4W at approx 1900z on the 1st of November 09. In communicating with George he stated that "the E-pirb was placed in a duffel bag and left on the cabin floor when he was about to abandon ship" he left it there because the rescue team did not allow him to take anything but critical documents and paperwork. It's in Georges opinion that the boat is still taking on water and the water has reached the floor boards where he left the duffel bag with the E-pirb and it self activated.
As for my primary purpose and question; does anyone know of the cost and feasibility in rescuing a vessel some 525 miles ENE of Bermuda. It would be great to offer some real information as to the possibilty of recovering Georges boat. I understand that this is far reaching to say the least but I have to ask.
As for logistics, well water evacuation (gas pump) and a tow would be the quickest answer but with the weather off shore in these waters I don't think it's possible. If anyone has any input please share it. I will update later with detailed information as it's made available. Until then lets learn from our mistakes.
I too feel very deeply for George and his loss. He is a hell of a man IMHO. It is quite a feat to singlehand a 42 footer under ideal conditions.
No second guessing here, I was not there either and have never had to deal with his situation. If we sail long enough our turn will come, through lack of perfection, illness, weather, system failures, or some combination of those.
Walk a mile in my shoes comes to mind. And when my time comes, and it will, I know George and Gringo will come to mind.
A boat that is weighted down too much (and 4" below the bootop qualifies) is just not going to react properly to the waves and will begin a chain of events that is not headed in the right direction.
I completely agree with the train of thought that states that the most dangerous thing on a boat is a schedule. While being stubborn and strongheaded can get you out of some problems it probably serves to get you into a whole bunch of others. I feel bad for George and the end of the dream he worked so hard for, but......

Gil - another thing that struck me in all this was the comment that at hearing all the banging below during the storm that George felt that the boat was coming apart.
This mental aspect of single-handing in bad conditions is very interesting I can just imagine that kind of tricks your mind plays on you when you're on high alert 24 hours a day with little sleep and little control over your situation.
I think I dig the idea of crew. As you can see, I need my beauty sleep.
Great write up Gil - thanks for the insight.
About the original thread:
I am a newbie. As one poster said, "This SHOULD be required reading." It is very sobering from all directions; both the log and the commentary by Melrna.
I am sure many of us have made the same decisions about an event as George at some point in lives. George merely chose this event. It was dramatic.
Thanks George and also Melrna, It was both inspiring as well as tragic. It was real!
Makes you think about the effect a sailor's personality has on his or her boat and their ability to make safe passage. A big part of seamanship would seem to be the ability to master your unseamanlike impulses. Note to self: when at sea, think first and foremost of my ship's well-being. Heave-to and drink rainwater for a few days. Make for Spain when my boat tells me she wants to go to Spain.
I have to add that George's story is one hell of a good read. He seems rather modest as he tells the story.
How increase a boats performance
Smackdaddy; not sure if the captain was intentionally trying to sink her, but you are right she did get a bit of a beating. I don't think that the contact you hear and see would have done so much damage to that boat, it was pretty stout, but I could be wrong. As Melissa stated earlier and I agree, the boat was a tank, it felt solid under your feet and had very little movement to it. Of course this could be due to the following.......
As for the bootline depth, well you have a good eye. It's funny that you mention this as it has always been one of our funny comments with George and Gringo. The man had the boat loaded up with soo much stuff (tools, materials, dive gear, extra parts, supplies, etc, etc, etc....) that the top of the bootline sat a good 4 inches below the water while in the slip.
I often joke about how he secretly and knowingly was making his boat a better performing sailboat; we sailors know that there are many way to make a boat perorm better of which two are to reduce our lateral windage or area from water line to the deck and secondly we could increase Keel depth. That said, doesn't overloading a boat enought to sink her by 16" decrease the windage and increase the keel depth by the same amount.... If you agree and/or you are laughing, you now know how we loved to and will continue to joke with our friend George.
On a serious educations note: I made a comment to a few friends including George about how overloading a boat by so much could affect the roll frequency of the boat. It seems to me that the wave influence on the boat would not be in time with the motion or movement of the boat. Or in other words the boat would be traveling, lets say to port from a previous wave and linger in its motion so long that the next wave would hit it ackwardly. I also feel that the boat would plow through a wave rather than float up over it, which is may be why his deck was constantly awash. I'm no nautical engineer, but I'm sure that a boats boyancy is important and altering it by so much may affect its performance if not safety. Again, this is only my opinion, I may be wrong and if so someone please do not hesitate to educate me on this matter.

GunnersGaming by Betsson, Arsenal's Official Betting Partner, give us the rundown on some of the markets on offer ahead of Sunday's FA Cup match against Aston Villa...
The FA Cup fourth round brings Aston Villa to Emirates Stadium and provides Arsenal with a distraction from their recent run of disappointing league results. A late header from Yossi Benayoun was the difference when the sides met in December at Villa Park, with Arsenal running out 2-1 winners on that occasion. Benayoun is 3/1 (4.0) to find the net again and a repeat of that result is at a little over 7/1 (8.2)
Arsenal have only had two penalties in the Premier League this season and none have come at Emirates Stadium. However, one of them did arrive at Villa Park, with Robin van Persie converting. Why not bet that there will be a penalty tomorrow, available at a just over 5/2 (3.5)?
Van Persie continues to lead the Premier League goalscoring charts (he is 3/4 to finish the season there) and has now passed his best ever tally for Premier League goals despite it being only January.
Aston Villa may only be 11th in the Premier League table but they are a side that has lost on only one of their five trips to Emirates Stadium. Elsewhere they have lost only two of their 11 away games so far this season. Of those 11 games they have picked up six draws, which would suggest that despite their pacy forward line, they will be heading to north London looking to keep it tight. You can back the draw at 11/4 (3.75).
Although Arsenal have lost three Premier League games in a row for the first time since April 2007, their home form remains strong and they have only lost twice at Emirates Stadium so far this season. GunnersGaming tip the home side to enjoy a return to form with a 2-0 win, available at just over 11/2 (6.65).
With 12 Premier League teams playing against each other in the fourth round, there are sure to be some sizeable casualties. With that in mind, Arsenal priced at 7/1 (8.0) to go on and lift the trophy looks like strong value.
GunnersGaming continue to offer you a great selection of unique Arsenal specials. How many players will Arsenal sign in the transfer window? One player – 7/1, two – 9/1 or three - 24/1? Will Henry extend his contract beyond February 26 at over 10/1? Or how about Arsenal to win and Tottenham to lose this weekend at 18/1 (19.0)? All these bets and more can be found at GunnersGaming.com.
GunnersGaming would like to wish the team all the best against Aston Villa on Sunday. We are also offering three lucky fans the chance to win VIP tickets for them and a friend to watch next month's north London derby! To be in with a chance of winning simply place a £25 bet online with GunnersGaming.com before February 13.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 172
NicoleIntrovert said:Also Tom, please stop telling me what I would and would not do. you are not me and so far most times you have tried to assume what I would do you have been wrong.you are SADLY mistaken about the number of books published... even per year: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books_published_per_country_per_year
Tom Hendricks said:
i would love to have more mainstream coverage of my zine. mostly because i am obsessed with myself and being famous and want people to know who i am. slightly narcissistic but i love my zine and think everyone should read it. put me in vogue and cosmo, that would make my motherfuckin day.
so far i have had coverage on the venus zine website but my #3 issue i'm going to push really hard at distros and such. maybe even bust and ms. magazine. why the hell not?
So would I. I write for everyone - even those in the future. I hope that what I write will touch hearts and minds of people not even born yet - of every country on the planet. I write of my time now, but I hope the message is universal to all.
For now, I have to say I generally agree with Tom's position here. But if you're a zinester and you're happy being unknown and unappreciated, I can understand that too.
Tom Hendricks said:
I've published 170 issues of my zine Musea - and that's more than the number of novels most big publishing companies have published in the same time. Now instead of a single zinester add every other zinester on the planet and you have a lot of publishing - much more than corporate novels.
The NYT should reflect the publishing world - It calls itself book review, because it refuses to acknowledge zines. Zines have ushered in a golden age of literature. And the NYT missed it...If you were running a publishing review service would you block out zines and the golden age of literature they ushered in? No of course not. They are not covering the publishing industry.
1. Of course the NYT Book review is not covering the entire publishing industry. I'm not sure why you think this is their responsibility. In fact, did you know that romance novels are the most widely published type of book in the US? Will the NYT Book Review come near them? Not with a ten-foot pole, they won't. Why? Because the NYT covers "literature" as defined by them. Do you see anyone agitating for romance novels to get coverage in the NYTBR? Well, sometimes. But mostly, if romance readers want to know about the latest, they turn to their own magazines, websites, etc.
Pretty much the way we zinesters do.
2. I disagree that zines have ushered in a golden age of literature. I like many zines, but sorry. Just as with most "corporate" books, a percentage of them are truly excellent, another percentage are decent, some are mediocre, and some are dreck. Quantity doesn't equal quality.
I've published 170 issues of my zine Musea - and that's more than the number of novels most big publishing companies have published in the same time.
If you want to talk about the consolidation of media, I'm with you...but Tom, your arguments are absurd. These are fringe publications that more often than not have all the artistry and expression and relevance of a guy on a corner wearing a sandwich board... and less of an audience. And you're all in a heap because the New York Times won't cover them?Get real, chappie.
And check your history if you think there was some golden age where fringe viewpoints were celebrated and explored by the mainstream. And by 'fringe', I don't mean Hemingway, Faulkner, Fitzgerald...
And you bring up the Beats...well, I don't seem to remember the "littles" of that period getting massive mainstream coverage.
You are pretty tough on zinesters in a zinester forum. LOL
I think the best of zinester writing is as good as any lit gets. See the Zine Hall of Fame.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
As long as it's actually a "King Shepherd" you're looking at the females are going to be big most likely at least 90+ pounds and the males are huge 120+.
As long as you're not looking for a working K9 and you raise your dog right I think either gender will work for you.
Yes Male/Females are different but you have to start somewhere.
|Cara Fusinato
Size doesn't matter THAT much -- 66, 80, 90 etc. pound dog is enough to deter anyone. No one is going to say "Eh, I can take a 66 pound dog" but be deterred by an 85 pound dog. I've had people rush up to pet my male shepherd but back away from my 35 pound sheltie because she's black, glaring, with those beedy little eyes. She looks way more evil than the shepherd, even though she is a sweetie and so is he, for that matter. Training and proper socialization within and outside of the family are much more important. I think choosing JUST for size is sort of overkill. Deterring is deterring -- for the average owner and home. I doubt you really need the difference in drive and aggression between Schutzhund level 8 and 15 for the everyday person.
As to the female/male mind. . . males are like children, females are like your bestest girlfriend. You may butt heads at times, but the ladies give you their hearts to a level males don't. Males are goofballs til their brain clicks. Females are more serious earlier. Once you and your female form a team (or family unit), females are really great. I wouldn't say females in general are "one person" dogs. I wouldn't turn down a female, I really respect their mentality.
In my 40+ years I grew up with 2 male dogs (one early childhood-springer spaniel, the other high school/college-cocker spaniel) and 2 female dogs during my adult years (both GSDs) and I have to say, all were major love bugs on me.
My current GSD is so sweet and so goofy, that for the longest time my hubby and I were thinking "great, some watchdog, well at least she looks tough."
Ohhhh no. We had a neighbor go through our back gate to come help us with something, but we were in the house. We saw from the kitchen window as our friend reached over and unlocked the garden gate, she flew from the upper deck down the stairs snarling and barking. Our neighbor froze. As she saw who it was, she skidded to a stop and then went up to him all wiggles. He on the other hand darn near had a coronary.
Another time I fell asleep comforting my young daughter upstairs in her room. I woke up about 2 am and decided to go downstairs to bed. The second my foot hit the landing my dog tore up the stairs with the most aggressive bark I've ever heard. An adult foot fall upstairs where there are only children was NOT ok with her. She got half way up the stairs, saw it was me, gave me a look and went back to bed.
I can hear her at night sometimes, she will get up a few times, walk around the house, go upstairs, check on the kids and then come back down.
I can't even take her to the park with me and the kids. It's torture for her. She "talks" to the kids the whole time they are playing on the equipment. She wants to be on their hip. It makes her nervous to have them out of her sight.
If we are out walking and someone I don't know approaches us, she places herself between us and just watches. When my kids were babies, she'd stand in between the stroller and any person.
She greets us at the door, she adores my husband, my son, my daughter, and me. She even likes the cat. (although she feels its her duty to keep the cat in line)
My male dogs (while not GSDs) were pretty good watchdogs but more family dogs. Actually the cocker deterred a burglar while the springer let one in. And licked his hand while my dad held him waiting for the police. *facepalm*
My old GSD I had when I was living on my own right out of college was a beast too. Sweet as pie, but someone tried to get into my house boat one night and she lost her ever loving mind.
Yes, females are smaller, but I honestly think bonding has more to do with the dogs personality and their match with us. As for protectiveness, I feel very safe with my girl. She's all business when we are out. I worry that she doesn't even enjoy walks with the kids because she's so focused on them.
I know she enjoys walks and jogs with me, but my kids? All business. We are going to be a mess when she passes away. The doc gave her a few months to live. My poor girl.
|For those who disagree; I respect your opinion, but the advice I gave that some of you "laughed" at or called "hooey" comes from 14 years or experience with this breed. I am a certified Police K-9 Handler which means I teach German Shepherds and their partners the skills they need to work in the police force. Every year we get about 30 GSD's to train as Police Patrol Dogs. I work with these dogs 5 days a week preparing them for the International Protection Services Test. This test has 15 levels to it that each dog must past in order to work in the protection field. The 15th level is the Schutzhund Test. Most females don't even make it past the 8th level because they have shown signs of cowardliness and/or fear. Here are some statistics; 90% of female GSDs that are entered into a Police Dog training class fail their first month in the program while 95% of male GSDs pass the whole thing. Only 5% of GSD Police Dogs are female.
|I have one of each. Both love kids but my male looks for them when they leave, he seems to get sad. I have seen both of them react once each to "possible" bad situation. The male ran across the yard for some roofers that were on a neighbors roof, it was cold and they had ski masks on to keep warm. I have never heard a bark like that come out of him or any other dog, my son came running and wanted to know what dog was barking like that. He stopped barking immediately once he realized there was no danger, he just went about his business and ignored them. My son came home for a surprise visit and was waiting in a dark corner of the yard with a hoodie on. My female rounded the corner running barking and growling at him. She was not going to back off, he spoke to her quickly and she stopped in her tracks when she realized it was him. Scared him. The male weighs 100 pounds and looks more intimidating then the female that weighs 77 pounds . They are both strongly bonded to me. I think they could both do damage, but my gut tells me the female would be the one to protect, hopefully we will never find out.
|Harry and Lola
Do female king shepherd/german shepherds grow to male size? generally no, in terms of weight the [U]average[U] weight for a male GSD is about 83 pounds compared to about 66 for a female
I've heard females usually bond to the family but will always have the one person they go to and see as their master. I've read that females go to the males and the males go to the females. I'm female and I'm scared my puppy won't bond to me as her main master. [my experience has been a GSD will be closer to the family member that feeds, exercises, grooms and plays with them all the time
I've heard that females are also quicker to train? depends on the GSD but generally females seem to learn quicker
My boys have all been good with children but the bitches more caring, willing to sit with a sad child and more interested in the random things children want to show them. Otto does not care your brothers said a mean thing to you...
The female I have now doesn't have a protective bone in her body but the most fiercely protective of all my shepherds was a female. When my children were small, I'd take the twins in the stroller and Morgan would help pull.
Twins are a tourist attraction, more than a few times some random person remarked 'if I try to touch those kids, that dog would take my arm off.' Lets not find out please. Morgan had this little move she did, someone would come near the front of the stroller and she'd just walk out there. Look up with her serious face and get the 'that dog would kill me' reaction. She never did but she had this 'I'd be pleased to eat you' stare.
I have had both. My females are smaller than my males, as is expected. My females have bonded with me(a female) no problem. All of my dogs(except my Labrador) are social when needed and protective when needed.
I will say that a confident male dog, is a HUGE presence. More so than the females. But I don't know that it would make an actual difference in a life and death situation. I have never been in one.
My current female GSD is a huge love bug. Always snuggled up.

1. Females are more of a family dog; they have an equal bond with each of the family members. Males are a one-person dog; they usually only bond with one person in the family and actually will attack another family member if he thinks they will harm the family member they bonded with.
2. Males are more aggressive towards strangers and will often bite a newcomer even though they didn't do anything wrong. Females are more cautious and will only attack a stranger when they sense fear in their owner towards that person.
3. When it comes to actually protecting you, males are the way to go. Females will protect you, but to a point. Once the female is physically hurt, she will stop attacking the stranger and cower away. For example, if your female was attacking a stranger and they hit or kicked her, she will get hurt and scared and let go. While males will only see it as a challenge keep going after the stranger.
