BISMARCK, N.D. — A judge has dismissed Montana-Dakota Utilities’ eminent domain lawsuit over a proposed half-mile natural gas pipeline in northern North Dakota, a decision hailed by landowner attorneys as a rare victory.
North Central District Judge Gary Lee ruled May 29 that harm to private landowner Lavern Behm outweighed any public benefits from the pipeline. Pipelines have become a contentious issue in North Dakota since the prolonged and sometimes violent protests against the $3.8 billion, four-state Dakota Access oil pipeline in 2016 and 2017.
MDU sought an easement across Behm’s property in Ward County to build a 3,000-foot-long (915-meter-long) pipeline to service a BNSF Railway facility west of Minot. The railroad maintains and operates a switch heated in the winter with propane tanks near the private property to keep it free of snow and ice. MDU proposed replacing the tanks with the underground pipeline, according to court records.
The utility that provides natural gas and electricity to more than 400,000 customers in a four-state area obtained the necessary permits and approvals from state and federal agencies but had to resort to eminent domain to cross the private land.
State law prohibits private property from being taken for ownership or use of any private individual or entity unless the land is necessary for conducting a carrier or utility business.
“While it is certainly not subject to dispute that maintaining railway switches is a necessity to the safe operations of the railroad, the construction of this pipeline is not necessary for this purpose,” Lee wrote, noting that the propane tank option exists. He also said MDU didn’t give enough consideration to other options.
MDU is still determining whether it will appeal to the state Supreme Court, spokesman Mark Hanson said Thursday.
Bismarck attorney Derrick Braaten has represented landowners in dozens of eminent domain cases. He said most landowner victories amount to increased compensation for the use of their land, and that it’s rare for a judge to entirely bar the taking of private property.
Braaten said the Ward County case, though involving a small pipeline, touches on a larger issue.

Moscow has been on my list of places to visit for so long now and I finally made it! So here is what happened.
Since it was my first to Moscow I 100% wanted to go out and explore! I and a handful of the crew decided to head out first thing for a tour of Moscow since we arrived at the hotel around 10 pm local time. The tour we took was organised by an ex-crew member (Masha) who is from Moscow, this gave us a great benefit as she understood how our body clocks work.
We got to the centre of Moscow by train, it was a Friday morning and all the roads were busy so it saved us some time. It was only natural that the first stop on our tour was the Bolshoi Theatre. It is located just outside the train station, walking out the doors and onto the streets was freezing, to say the least, but with the theatre being our first view, who would complain. It was only a flying visit as I’d say, as we were on our way to the famous Red Square.
Red Square and St. Basil’s Cathedral was next on our tour. Walking through the gates which opened up onto the red square was breathe taking, it was like something out of the movies. I don’t think I’ve been anywhere that cold in a long time but it did help, in a way. Not too many tourists around.
Going on from the red square we headed to the universal shopping mall – GUM. Think of luxury store and imagine they are all under one roof, that would be this mall. We wandered around the mall with a cup of hot chocolate until it was time to head back out into the cold air.
The changing of the guards at Kremlin Wall was our next stop, Masha had timed our tour perfectly so we had a great view to see the change. The changing of the guards happens every hour to the dot! A Little bit of background that I learnt was they are standing guard to the infinite flame that is dedicated to the soviet soldiers what were killed during world war 2.
Once the changing of the guards had finished we headed back to the metro station to go a few stops down for lunch. Masha knew a cute little local cafe, nothing was in English so I picked items on how they looked – bad I know but I did a good job. I’m so sorry I didn’t get the name of the cafe or even take a picture of my lunch, by this time my stomach was thinking for me. As soon as I sat down I starting munching away.
There were 2 stops left on our tour. A quick stop in a souvenir store to pick up a magnet (which I’m attempting to get at every Layover) and as we call them back home ‘Russian Dolls’, I couldn’t leave Moscow without my own set.
By this point in the day, we were all tired and knowing our flight back to Dubai was a night flight we had to get back to the hotel soon for a few hours rest. The last stop of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. We were lucky because we went on Easter Friday so by the time we got there, they had a service on being filmed for the TV which we got to stand in on.
You can check out my YouTube Channel where you can see my Layover first hand!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cspackl from Great home! First time in this home and we loved it. My family and I had to choose a different home this year due to the damage from hurricane Matthew the year prior. When we selected this home we were a little nervous, not knowing if it would suit our needs...This home was beautiful and was exactly what we needed! It could have received a five star rating if there had been curtains on the water side of the house (it was turtle season) and exterior door handles that didn't fall off when used. Very minor things that didn't affect the overall fantastic stay we had in this home!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Travelmama from Really nice home We spent 10 days at Summer Salt and loved it. The house was clean and we loved the way that we could easily get to the beach. The kitchen and laundry room had everything we needed. Also, being in a gated community was a real bonus because it was quiet, and the people we did run into were very friendly. We had easy access to grocery stores, restaurants, and fresh sea food. We only noted one thing, it would be really nice to have curtains in the third floor bedroom. When we plan our next trip to Harbor Island, we will certainly keep his home in mind.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Graham from Nice Looking in ad but dissappointed with house House had almost no blinds or curtains anywhere, even in Bathrooms and bedrooms ( see through glass) nobody would use Master bedroom bath for this reason, the 2 children bedrooms had mattress that felt like boxsprings, 3 people slept on air mattress on floor instead, I apologized to my family for the sleeping arrangements. The living room couch were worn and dirty, Kithen was nice lay out but poorly furnished, we found a box of rotten potatoes in the bottom kitchen drawer, previous tenant issue but housekeeping should have found. water damage in upper bedroom and smelled really moldy, the resort did send a guy to clean carpet and spray for mosquitos (very appreciated) but that is all I can say positive about the house. for a total over 4,000 I expected more.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Robin from Beautiful home We found the home beautiful with amazing views. We watched the dolphins swimming daily. There was some minor damage due to the hurricane. Cracks in walls etc. We visited in December and found some of the rooms too cold to use as year round rooms.....other rooms were too hot as we kept the heat turned up trying to warm up the cold rooms. New cutlery in the kitchen is needed, there are no steak knives. Only the master bed room had a TV. The teenage kids found the bunk mattresses uncomfortable. Extra blankets would have been welcomed. $47 per car fee would have been nice to know before booking. Ice machine from fridge leaking. No screens in windows...or curtains if we had wanted a breeze or privacy. None of these issues caused us too much distress. We had a great time and found the house and views beautiful. It's nice home for a short stay, family gathering, parris island graduation etc.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kim 46 from Summer Salt , great location, clean, great views I visited this home in August 2017, I was very nice, clean, and welcoming had great views, saw Dolphins swimmimng behind shrimp boat more than once everyday. Had enough room for together time or alone time for the family. Got to witness a group finding sea turtle nests and if they has hatched, they would catch them and witnessed them helping direct them to find their was to the ocean. The only negative to the house is, it does not offer much privacy from close houses as there were no blinds and the Mosquitos were the worst I have ever seen, we had bug spray for ourselves which helped slow them down but all of us left with several bits on us (mostly on arms. And legs about 20 bits each) we had a wonderful time at the beach the Mosquitos were not there the biggest area was around the garage area and the side of house near the heating but the screened porch area allowed us to enjoy outside sitting to watch and listen to the ocean neither of these would stop me from another stay but would maybe ask that the area be treated with something before arrival.
Rated 3 out of 5 by JRC61 from Nice layout, needs repairs and updates Downstairs bathroom needs serious attention. Also, one of the downstairs toilet does not have a door, or window coverings and faces straight in neighboring home - cannot be used at all. Kitchen needs to be stocked better as well.
Rated 3 out of 5 by JD1975 from Perfect house with easy access to beach The accommodations were great and the beach was very private. You can only swim at hide tide as at low tide it is all mud. Water looked more like a harbor and lake then the entrance to the ocean as it was brown and muddy.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (July 25, 2017) – Team Penske announced today that the organization has reached an agreement with Brad Keselowski to remain with the team as the driver of the No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion well into the future. The multi-year extension ensures that the 2012 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) Champion and 23-time MENCS race winner will continue to be an integral part of Team Penske – the only team he has driven for full-time over the course of his 10-year MENCS career.
The announcement follows the news that No. 2 team crew chief, Paul Wolfe, has also agreed to a multi-year extension with Team Penske.
Since joining Team Penske in 2009, Keselowski has earned 22 MENCS wins and the 2012 series championship while driving the iconic No. 2 Ford Fusion. In addition, the Rochester Hills, Michigan native has scored 29 NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) victories, won the 2010 NXS Drivers’ championship and he’s been a part of three NXS Owners’ titles while driving the No. 22 Ford Mustang. Keselowski has produced two MENCS victories and one NXS win so far this season and has qualified for his sixth trip to the NASCAR Playoffs.
Keselowski first came on board at Team Penske toward the end of the 2009 MENCS season and Wolfe joined him prior to the 2010 NXS campaign. The two promptly won the 2010 NXS Drivers’ championship with six wins and an NXS-record 26 top-five finishes. Wolfe then joined Keselowski on the No. 2 MENCS Ford and the duo earned their first win at Kansas Speedway in just their 13th series start together. In their seven-plus MENCS seasons, Keselowski and Wolfe have become one of the premier driver-crew chief combinations in the sport and have earned six trips to the NASCAR Playoffs.
Keselowski has recorded 51 wins while driving for Team Penske, making him the second-winningest driver in team history. He is just eight victories away from tying Team Penske Hall of Fame member, Mark Donohue, for the top honor.
“Mark Donohue is the driver that Roger was able to build this team around over 50 years ago, a man who won our first NASCAR Cup Series race and our first Indianapolis 500. I am truly blessed to be close to tying his record for wins with Team Penske and this extension will allow me to place my name beside such a legendary driver,” added Keselowski.
Keselowski continues to climb the ranks of NASCAR’s all-time greats. His 23 career MENCS victories tie him with Ricky Rudd for 33rd on the career wins list. With 35 career NXS victories, he ranks fifth in all-time series wins. Keselowski is also one of only four drivers to win both a MENCS championship and NXS title in their career.
“We are extremely happy to secure Brad’s renewal with Team Penske. Brad is an integral part of our Ford NASCAR program, and we appreciate his leadership within the team and among the drivers in this sport. We look forward to helping him take Ford and Team Penske to victory lane many more times in the years ahead,” commented Dave Pericak, Global Director, Ford Performance.
This weekend Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and Camping World Truck Series will visit Pocono Raceway, while the Xfinity Series runs in Iowa.
Ryan Blaney earned his first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series victory a few weeks ago at Pocono Raceway and will be looking to become the first driver since Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2014 to pull off a season sweep. Blaney, who gave the Wood Brothers their 99th all-time series win, held off Kevin Harvick over the final seven laps to win the Pocono 400.
MOORESVILLE, NC, July 26, 2017 – Team Penske announced today that Ryan Blaney will join the organization as a full-time driver in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) beginning in 2018 as the team returns to a three-car operation in NASCAR’s premier series. The 23-year-old Blaney, who also signed a multi-year contract extension with the team, will pilot the No. 12 Ford Fusion, beginning with the annual non-points “Clash” event at Daytona International Speedway in February 2018.
Blaney made his MENCS debut in 2014 for Team Penske and has driven for Wood Brothers Racing full-time the last two seasons. One of NASCAR’s rising “young guns,” Blaney earned his first-career Cup Series win earlier this season at Pocono Raceway, giving the Wood Brothers team its first MENCS win since the 2011 season. Blaney also scored his first Cup Series pole this season at Kansas Speedway. He finished second in the 2016 MENCS Rookie of the Year standings.
Blaney has been a part of Team Penske since 2012 and has earned five NASCAR XFINITY Series wins for the team and was part of the No. 22 team’s three-straight NXS Owners’ Championships from 2013-2015.
Earlier this season, Team Penske announced that it signed Joey Logano to a multi-year contract through the 2022 season and beyond.
Just yesterday, the team announced it has come to terms with Brad Keselowski for a multi-year agreement, giving the organization a solid foundation for the future.
While the No. 12 Ford Fusion has made a handful of starts in the Cup Series over the last few years, Team Penske has not competed as a full-time, three-car team since the 2010 season with Keselowski, Kurt Busch and Sam Hornish Jr. Despite the fact that the team has only run two full-time cars since the 2011 season, Team Penske has produced 40 MENCS victories, along with the 2012 NASCAR Cup Series title, and the 2015 Daytona 500 Championship.
More details surrounding the No. 12 team, including sponsorship and crew chief, will be announced in the near future.
STUART, VA – July 26, 2017 – Wood Brothers Racing, the oldest active NASCAR team and one of the winningest teams in series history, and veteran driver Paul Menard, will join forces for the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENSC) season, the two parties announced today. The new partnership will see the team continue to compete full time for the coming seasons with Menard driving the legendary No. 21 Ford Fusion.
Menards, the industry-leading home improvement store company, will sponsor the No. 21 Ford for 22 MENCS races. Additional sponsorship, including plans for long-time partner Motorcraft/Quick Lane, will be announced at a later date.
Over the course of its history, the Wood Brothers Racing team has amassed 99 MENCS victories, the most recent coming this season with current driver Ryan Blaney at Pocono Raceway. Legendary drivers such as AJ Foyt, David Pearson, Curtis Turner, Tiny Lund, Cale Yarborough, Neil Bonnett, Buddy Baker and Dale Jarrett have all earned victories for the team. Both Glen and Leonard Wood have been inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
The team’s relationship with Roush Yates Engines and the technical partnership with fellow Ford Performance organization, Team Penske, will also continue in 2018.
“We’re excited to welcome Paul back into the Ford fold and look forward to having him a part of the Wood Brothers team,” noted Dave Pericak, Global Director, Ford Performance.
Ford Chip Ganassi Racing continues to sweep the summer stretch of DEKRA Green Awards, being recognized for the third consecutive race as the cleanest, fastest and most efficient car in the GT Le Mans (GTLM) field at the conclusion of the Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park.
GTLM class teams competing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship must utilize alternative fuels such as ethanol or biodiesel. These alternative fuels are relevant to the world’s automotive manufacturers and energy companies as they develop transportation solutions for the future that are sustainable and have a low environmental impact.
Additional factors established by the United States Department of Energy (DOE), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Society of Automotive Engineers International (SAE) in conjunction with IMSA, are also taken into consideration to score each car.
DEARBORN, Mich. – If any drivers from a Ford-backed NASCAR teams are competing for the Monster Energy Cup in Miami this fall, they can, in part, thank a new, more powerful spin torsional lab located on Ford’s campus.
The project, which renovated and upgraded the previous spin torsional lab at the Advanced Engineering Center, was pulled ahead more than four months to make it available to Ford Performance’s three Cup series teams this season, rather than next.
Ford executives and project team members gathered Tuesday, June 27 to unveil the High Capacity All-Wheel Drive Laboratory at the AEC. It is expected to be available for testing beginning in October, just weeks before the end of the Monster Energy Cup season.
With the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford Fusion strapped in, the new system was demonstrated during a single-lap simulation of Homestead-Miami Speedway, site of NASCAR’s championship race, where the car reached speeds of nearly 190 mph.
Ford had just one championship contender in last season’s NASCAR finale, which concluded four playoff rounds, but hopes to have more challengers in the season’s final weeks this fall. Accelerating the spin torsional project schedule will give Ford Performance several weeks at the tail end of the schedule to incorporate their findings from the new testing.
“We wanted to start having an influence now,” said Dave Payne, manager of Vehicle Development Operations. “That’s important because you have to win races and get points in order to qualify for the playoffs and the championship race.
While the focus area of the new lab is on performance vehicles, the new technology will also be leveraged on Ford’s full product lineup.
The new lab allows for testing of drive line components even without an entire vehicle present, simulating engines ranging from an I-4 to a V-8. It features seven hand-built dynamometers – four output dynamometers, which can simulate speeds up to 220 mph, and three input dynamometers.
The new testing equipment also creates efficiencies in travel reduction, Payne noted. Rather than taking vehicles out to desert locales for their sandy conditions or wilderness environments for snow and ice, those variables can be replicated in the torsional lab.
“That gives us a lot of efficiency instead of having to travel all over the world for these different kinds of weather conditions and control factors, you do it all right here in this cell,” he said.
Planning for the lab began in 2014 and construction began in September of 2016. All of the building’s original equipment, which was nearly 25 years old, was replaced. Supporting infrastructure, such as chillers, water and cooling towers, were also replaced.
Input from Ford Performance, NVH (noise vibration and harshness) and the All-Wheel Drive teams helped shape the facility’s capability, Danes noted.
The facility will be a busy place once it is fully integrated into testing. Danes said the lab’s workload is expected to increase by 250 percent next year.
Jack Roush was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in Detroit, Michigan, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the automotive industry and racing community.
Jack is an icon in the motorsports industry and distinguished automotive entrepreneur. He’s chairman of Roush Enterprises, co-owner of Roush Fenway Racing and Roush Yates Engines.
Getting his start in the auto industry in 1964 as an engine development engineer for Ford Motor Company is where his passion for racing started with the “Fastbacks”, who were running a drag race team at the time. In 1970, Roush formed his own drag race team with partner Wayne Gapp.
In 1976, Roush Performance Engineering was established, which was focused on supplying race engines and parts for a variety of motorsports. His passion for racing and competition led Roush to ask Ford Motor Company to develop vehicles for the SCCA Trans-Am and IMSA Camel GT race series, where he won an unprecedented 119 races and 24 national championships between the two series.
In 1988, he expanded his love of racing to NASCAR. To date, Roush Fenway Racing has claimed two Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championships (2003 – Matt Kenseth and 2004 – Kurt Busch), four NASCAR Xfinity Championships and one Camping World Truck Series Championship.
Roush and Robert Yates, long-time NASCAR revivals would find there was strength in numbers and combined their passion for creating and developing legendary horsepower and world-class race engines when they formed Roush Yates Engines in 2003 to become the official NASCAR engine provider for Ford Performance starting in the 2004 season.
2017 marks his 30th year of NASCAR competition, Roush Fenway stands as the winningest team in NASCAR history, taking home 324 wins across the three major NASCAR series.
In all, his race teams have won more than 400 races and 30 championships, while Roush Enterprises has become a major provider of engineering and product development services for the auto industry.

Mrs Brown was an older lady who suffered with an arthritic condition affecting her legs and lower back and as a result was struggling getting in and out of her existing bath. Weakened and unstable on her feet Mrs Brown was looking for an accessible bathroom solution to accompany her wishes to refurbish and modernise her dated 3 piece suite.
Initially Mrs Brown was convinced the solution to her bathing problem was that of a walk-in bath which would allow her to continue to enjoy a relaxing soak and ease of access. However as More Ability Surveyor & Designer, Nigel Dawson highlighted the condition in which Mrs Brown was up against was one of deterioration and despite being able to access the walk-in bath now it would become a problematic area in years to come due to the high step.
Similarly a walk-in bath require you sit in while you fill it up and stay in until it is drained, something which Nigel explained to Mrs Brown which resulted in her looking at other options. In order to completely future proof the bathroom Nigel presented an array of shower solutions offering expert help, advice and guidance along the way until a decision on best fit ‘for purpose’ and personal preference / taste was made.
Following discussions Mrs Brown fell in love with the low level walk-in shower concept with glass fronted bi-folding doors and as a result decided this was the solution she both wanted and needed. To accompany this stylish and accessible solution Nigel suggested a high rise WC and matching pedestal basin, both essential future proofing fixtures, and finished the room with full floor to ceiling wall tiles and anti-slip vinyl flooring.

Discussion in 'Member Introductions' started by tiFreak, Nov 14, 2009.
For some reason I was thinking just this when I read his subs post.
I think the midwest are grinders.
And somewhere else they are hoagies.
I guess enough hijacking on my part.
I was thinking about your ti going through tech inspection before being OK'd to go on the track for a drivers school.
You - It's my sub woofer! Want to hear it?
Tech inspector - I don't think so. It is 6:30AM and you will wake the entire county.
We could run the track PA thourgh that bad boy and everyone would hear us even over ther track traffic!!!
long thin sandwiches in Connecticut are "grinders".
Hey, don't generalize us 'young people! I hate big-azz subs; only reason for that is because every stinkin' Civic within a 10 mile radius has one, and usually pump their music so loud it sounds as though the car is going to literally fall apart.
At least you have a Bimmer so you don't have to worry 'bout it falling apart.
Ha, this is the 'sub' I was referring to. This is what CR would probably think when he heard that word.
Connecticut or New Hampshire is a "long road trip"? I know my friends in the northeast run fine schools at NHIS and Lime Rock Park.
This is the USS Cobia. It is the same class as (but not one of; it was built at Groton) the 28 subs that were built here in Manitowoc during WWII. It's across the river from the library, about 2 miles from where I sit. I used to have an office in the white building you can see above the after deck, beyond the Maritime Museum, where it is moored. It is open for tours through the boat year round and it is a fascinating look into what submariners lived with during the war. For those of you who might be coming to Oktoberfest next August, this is a 'must see', about 30 miles from the track & host hotel.
Connecticut or New Hampshire is a "long road trip"?
Umm, yes. For someone who takes a daily driver to a track, that is a very long drive. It's about 3-4 hours for me to get to New Hampshire (so it's probably similar for him to get to LRP), meaning all the more possibilities for my only car to break. This is probably what he's afraid of, and is the very reason I don't go to the awesome Watkins Glen (over 4.5 hours away), or some other cool tracks that are out of the state. Even if you break down and manage to get the car towed home, you've got the expense of towing, and then you even have to fix it ASAP, otherwise you're stuck. If there is another car to drive, that wouldn't be a problem.
Heck, if I had another car, I'd keep the swapped E30 once I hit 25 and use it strictly as a track car, while getting an M3 as a daily (and for... other... uses ).

Well, it all depends on your tolerance for risk and adventure. Club members don't let club members hang. If you break your car at a driver school, the odds are somewhat good it'll be fixed before you leave the facility. If that doesn't happen, there's a good chance someone with a trailer will load your car up for a free ride to the nearest fixin' place. We've seen cars hauled across the whole damn continent as a favor. We will do everything possible to see that a busted car is a mere inconvenience, not a disaster. Yes, there's that chance, but what employer has never had car trouble? Ask them if they've ever crashed a car. Unless they've been remarkably lucky, they've had the experience. Refusing to take that risk means you'll miss a lot of fun. I've driven my car to every one of 8 Oktoberfests and to every one of dozens of autocrosses and driver schools. I've had things break, too. It has never been a disaster.
Well, it all depends on your tolerance for risk and adventure. Club members don't let club members hang.
As nice a thought as that is, I can't expect people to help me, which is why I can't just go and "expect" the help I need in case something should happen. Is is a nice thought though, and I've already made up my mind to go to Watkins Glen at one point.
I agree with Bruddah Krieger: of course, I tend to drive a car with no spare tahr across the country and back every year, dependin' on the kindness o' strangers (and an M Mobility kit) plus BMW Roadside Eventually to bail me out if I pop a sidewall on an armadillo. . .
Hey: That submarine! We toured it on the way to O'Fest in Grand Rabbits! How kewl is THAT?!

What is the COMBO Dual Therapy Stent?
The holistic combination therapy ensures that the four parts work together to deliver improved blood flow and true healing.
An effective dose of the medication sirolimus is released on the outside of the stent into the tissue to prevent the thickening of arterial walls after a stent implant.
On the side of the stent facing blood flow the unique EPC capture technology encourages the growth of healthy tissue and thus speeds up the coverage of the stent structure.
The result is that the Dual Therapy Stent delivers long-term healing solutions by naturally restoring the vessel.

Beer Fellows: A leaping edition of Beer links!
I had this at Brewvival; it was different, acidic, and crisp.
I could make an entire post about new breweries coming on line. Hell this blog could be strictly dedicated to that.
I want to know if the guy that bumped into the tray ever apologized.
I know when I ran my marathon many years ago a beer was not the first thing on my mind when I finished. Race spectators or participants let us know how this tastes in April.
These people don’t realize how much they are missing out…well the advocacy group does. Read the comments below the article, it is worth it.
I posted the Alabama link and then found this. This may just be the ticket for blue law tracking from here on out!
I’ve never had North Korean beer, but on everything I have read about North Korea I’m thinking Pabst is probably a real step up.I do find it funny that Snoopy and Pabst are leading the charge.
Fun event with some excellent rare beers. Read our take on Brewvival later this week!
If this comes to Virginia or Maryland Sunocos then I may have a new favorite gas station.
It is always interesting to see where the money is coming from and how much it can buy. In this case quite a bit.
Here is your weekly dose of beer crime...teenager edition.
The article is rather misleading and short.
First off a thanks to Sarah for keeping this thing running with posts over the weekend while I gallivanted around the Carolinas. Thanks Sarah you rock socks!
This week you will finally find out Brian’s five favorite beers and his beer adventure in Pennsylvania, we’ll talk about our Brewvival experience, and we finish out stout month with some classics. On the JGF Beercast we recorded our first "live" beer round table this last weekend, we will have it posted by the middle of this week.

Zimbabwe: Prophet Healing and Deliverance Leader Walter Magaya has apologised to the Ministry of Health and Child Care for by passing procedure in announcing his cure for cancer and HIV through the Aguma herb.
Magaya on Thursday held a joint press conference with the Ministry of Health and Child Care focusing on his Aids cure claim. Health minister Dr Obadiah Moyo, his deputy Dr John Mangwiro and several senior government officials were in attendance.
Prophet Magaya said, “We have engaged the Ministry. I carry an apology to them and the public. Having carried the research from outside the country, I went on to announce the results unprocedurally. I apologize once again.
Health minister Dr Moyo accepted Magaya’s apology and announced that they are now working together with the Prophet to test the herb.
“Magaya rushed without realizing the impact of his message and his popularity and disregarded the facts in the regulation of medicines in the country. He now appreciates that there are regulations.
“I want to reiterate that please carry on with your medicines, Magaya’s medicine has not yet been approved. It’s unfortunate that Magaya did not have all regulations in place.
“Zimbabwe appreciates new discoveries but we want them to go through scientifically proven processes and these processes are what we are following now. He has assured us that he will not dispense that medication.
Yesterday members of the Zimbabwe Republic Police accompanied by the dreaded Central Intelligence agents raided Magaya’s Offices in search of his HIV and Cancer cure.
The raid came after the government and health practitioners strongly condemned the public declaration by the self-styled Prophet that he has found a cure to the two of the world’s most incurable diseases.

As wrong, wrong, wrong as it sounds, Fulham’s 2011/12 season begins later tonight with a Europa League qualifier against Faroe Island part-timers NSI Runavik – who have five of their first-string away on holiday at the moment and who’s XI tonight will consist of a teacher, a mortician and a trainee telephone salesman amongst others.
Unsurprisingly, Runavik are approximately 10,000/1 to cause an upset.
more fulham kit news (i know you all care deeply) our home kit launched today and is all white (no black shorts) for the first time ever.
I do care, and I dig it. It will be a sight to see, Sidwell, the Ginja Ninja in all white. Personally, I like the all black awawy kit a little more. Wait…..did I just make a Michael Jackson “it don’t matter if you’re black or white” reference? Chamone!
A handful of players will be working very hard in this game to show Jol that they’re worth keeping.
Duff looks like he’s had a few good meals since the season ended.
If anyone wants to see highlights they are going up on the website tonight apparently.

As part of Sun's new range of x64 (x86) servers, Sun now sells support for RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). This is all well and good and certainly pushes Sun kit into "white box" territory, but we do have a bit of catching up on the knowledge side of things.
I've been identified as a good resource to train up as I've already got a fair amount of Linux knowledge. As part of this, I was lucky enough to go on a customised (for Sun) RHEL training course. Whilst I didn't learn much new, one of the things I did learn about completely amazed me - gathering crash dumps on RHEL. I tell you now, I wasn't amazed at how good it was; quite the contrary.
RHEL, prior to RHEL 4 update 1, only offered the ability to perform a "netdump". That's a crash dump that is transferred across the network to a dedicated "netdump server".
There's no guarantee it will be complete if the machine panicked due to a watchdog reset as the machine's hardware may reset the machine before the transfer is complete.
I can't help but feel this approach is very much a "crash and pray" way of doing things. There are too many unreliable factors involved. If you enable crash dumps, you want to know why your machine crashed and for that you need a crash dump.
RedHat's rationale behind the decision to use netdump over disk based dump is based on the fact that, unlike traditional UNIX vendors, they don't have control over the varying physical devices involved. Fair enough, but this doesn't seem to be a problem for the BSD distros, Solaris x86 or even SLES (SLES 8 & 9 use LKCD).
I'm not a kernel programmer, but surely if you can actually boot the OS off the disk in order for it to panic in the first place, you have enough control over the device to dump the contents of swap to the disk on the way up.
Dumping to disk does have it's problems and is also susceptible to corruption, however it's more secure, more reliable, doesn't require additional hardware and it will capture full dumps for hardware watchdog events on most occasions.
If you've got to account for every event on a secure business critical machine, I can't help but think the risks associated with a dump to disk are significantly less than those associated with a dump to a network device.
RHEL 4 update 1 now ships with diskdump to allow dump to disk.

See the short clip below from the film Fatal Flaws, courtesy of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition and Dunn Media.
Wesley J. Smith is one of North America's top bio-ethical thinkers. He has written and spoken extensively about the perils of assisted-suicide not only to the sick and disabled but also to the moral underpinnings of western civilization itself.
Read his latest column in the American publication National Review Online: "Canadian Hospital Waiting Room Promotes Euthanasia" Canada legalized medically assisted suicide in 2016. Already the tentacles of euthanasia can be found in a Canadian ER. How many others? Legal euthanasia puts the sick and disabled in peril and threatens the proper place for palliative care. Canada legalized assisted suicide under the guise of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). What we got was euthanasia by lethal injection.
If the United States should learn anything from Canada it is not to be like Canada.
So you say you're pro-choice. Choose adoption, not abortion. Choose life, not death. Never choose death for yourself or another life. You may regret making life denying decisions. You will not regret making life-affirming decisions. It's really quite simple. You may say that it's easier said than done. Everything is easier said than done.
are valuable even when you've ceased to believe it. Decisions should not be made when you are submerged beneath the waves depression or dire circumstances. Your unborn baby is valuable even if he/she is unwanted. You may not want to be a parent but there are thousands upon thousands of childless couples who desperately want to be parents.
In 2016, Canada legalized medically assisted suicide for terminally ill and severely disabled Canadians. Many Christian social service agencies did not know how to respond to this new legal framework, not only as professionals but as Christians. The federal government's law was couched within the euphemism Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) to make the murder of sick and dying people sound respectable.
People know me as an advocate for Life and disability issues. Fewer people know that I am an alcoholic. It's been thirty-eight years since my last drink—but the alcoholic personality remains even without alcohol. I think God left that thorn in my flesh so that I never think I did it all by myself. He led me out of my addiction. It was my first miracle. Early on He told me not to forget those days because many people are still there.
My family has been scarred by alcoholism dating back generations.
Over 30 million Americans are problem drinkers. At a tenth the size of America, Canada has 5.8 million problem drinkers. Alcoholism costs the U.S. economy an estimated $249-billion annually and $14.6-billion to Canada. The human cost is incalculable!
Alcoholics Anonymous was started in Akron Ohio in 1935 and has helped millions of people stop drinking, and provides family support through Al-anon and Alateen. They do wonderful work and I have great respect for their presence in communities across North America and the U.K..
But there is much more that needs to be done at governmental, community, and research in scientific, psychological and sociological levels. It makes sense to support programs at governmental and community levels that address alcoholism, educate young people about risks of alcohol abuse, support recovery and programs and support families of alcoholics.
Alcoholism is no respecter of persons. It spans every social strata of society, both genders, and every racial group.
I came across a revealing and brutally honest interview with former ABC news co-anchor Elizabeth Vargas about her journey with the disease. It is excellent and I thank Ms Vargas for her courage and willingness to talk about a disease that needs to be addressed more. Click on the link below.
at the liberal online publication Slate. Slate published an article on November 8th 2018 by Oremus entitled No, It's Not OK That Leftists Threatened Tucker Carlson's Family at His D.C. Home. Now I suppose you might be wondering why Slate's technology reporter would be writing about the liberal left's shenanigans that had little or nothing to do with technology? That's fodder for another post.
Racism D.C." and their descent on Tucker Carlson's home on the night on November 8th. In a scene reminiscent of the Ku Kluz Klan surrounding the house of a black family, about twenty protesters hooligans threatened the Carlsons with Klansmen style intimidation tactics They rang the doorbell and chanted threats such as "Tucker Carlson, we will fight! We know where you sleep at night!" A thug threw himself against the door. They spray-painted his driveway. Apparently, one woman was heard shouting she wanted to "bring a pipe bomb."
Neither Mr Carlson nor his children were there at the time, but his terrified wife was home and she hid and called the police.
Oremus' disapproved of the behaviour of the mob but went on to say it was "understandable that Antifa activists would feel a desire to make Carlson taste the kind of fear immigrants and minorities often feel in Trump's America." He did not understand why they would actually do what they did? They did what they did because they are Antifa! Thugs. And like the Ku Klux Klan, they hide their faces because they know, in their heart of hearts, what they're doing is immoral.
As a vocal pro-life Christian, I am acquainted with the dirty underbelly of progressive left tactics, but is also fodder for a different post. Let's look at the statement of Oremus that he understood why the Antifa mob would want to "make Carlson taste the kind of fear immigrants and minorities often feel in Trump's America."
immigrants and undocumented migrants should be concerned and with good reason. They snuck into America illegally, in violation of established immigration laws. They have no right of citizenship by simply being in the United States, any more than I would. That is not "Trump's America." It is the long-established sovereignty of America. As far as minority populations go, their problems existed long before the Donald Trump Presidency.
America is a nation of laws. Antifa does not recognize the rule of law. They are anarchists. Antifa is not simply exercising their freedom of speech, they are trying to silence opposing views through threats of violence and intimidation.
Oremus said that "Carlson and his ilk thrive on the perception that liberals are hypocrites, that they lack basic decency." Replace the word 'liberal' with 'progressive left' and Oremus could lump me in with Carlson's ilk. They are hypocrites. They do lack basic decency. I would bet that the progressive left and their ilk (to use Oremus' word) have many of the same faces in groups like 'Smash Racism D.C., Antifa, and rallies supporting abortion. I would imagine many are liberal Democrats. If they do not show up for organized mob events, the progressive left gives discreet winks of approval.
decency. Claiming to support human rights yet supporting the killing of unborn babies or euthanasia is hypocritical. Expressing one's own freedom of speech, thought and expression yet trying to deny it from others is hypocrisy. Advocating democracy yet obstructing a duly elected President because things did not go the Democratic Party's way in the 2016 election is hypocrisy. It is not democratic. It is actually contempt for democracy.
Terrorizing a family at their home must be decried by all people of good will. It must not be tolerated. The people behind Smash Racism D.C./Antifa must become pariahs in society. As a member of Tucker Carlson's 'ilk', I stand with him and his family and against these thugs and their 'ilk'.

“Poker” Alice Ivers was born on February 17, 1851 in Devon, England to Irish Immigrants. Her family moved to Virginia when Alice was 12. As a young woman, she went to boarding school in Virginia to become a refined lady. While in her late teens, her family moved to Leadville, a city in the Colorado Territory.
It was in Leadville that Alice met Frank Duffield, whom she married at a young age. Frank Duffield was a mining engineer who played poker in his spare time. After just a few years of marriage, Duffield was killed in an accident while resetting a dynamite charge in a Leadville mine.
Ivers was known for splurging her winnings, as when she won a lot of money in Silver City and spent it all in New York. After all of her big wins, she would travel to New York and spend her money on clothes. She was very keen on keeping up with the latest fashions and would buy dresses to wear to play poker.
Alice met her next husband around 1890 when she was a dealer in Bedrock Tom’s saloon in Deadwood, South Dakota. When a drunken miner tried to attack her fellow dealer Warren G. Tubbs with a knife, Alice threatened him with her .38. After this incident, Tubbs and Ivers started a romance and were married soon after.
Alice Ivers and Warren Tubbs had 4 sons and 3 daughters together. Tubbs and Ivers did not want their children to be influenced by the world of poker, so they moved to a house just northeast of Sturgis on the Moreau River in South Dakota. Tubbs was not only a dealer, but a housepainter as well. It was most likely this house painting that caused him to fall sick with tuberculosis. Warren Tubbs died in 1910 in of pneumonia during a blizzard. To pay for his funeral, Alice had to pawn her wedding ring, which led her back to the poker world.
Alice’s third husband was George Huckert, who worked on her homestead taking care of the sheep. Huckert was constantly proposing to Ivers, yet for a while she did not agree. Eventually, however, Ivers owed Huckert $1,008, so she married him figuring that it would be cheaper than paying his back wages. Huckert died in 1913.
First husband Frank Duffield introduced Alice to poker when she accompanied him to his poker games in Leadville. For a while she just attended, watching and observing, but eventually she started to play and gamble along with the men. However, it wasn’t until after her first husband died that she started to play poker seriously.
Alice was in a tough financial position, and after failing in a few different jobs including teaching; she turned to poker to support herself financially. Alice would make money by gambling and working as a dealer. Ivers made a name for herself by winning money from poker games in places like Silver City, New Mexico, even working at a saloon that was owned by Bob Ford, the man who killed Jesse James.
By the time Ivers was given the name “Poker Alice,” she was drawing in large crowd to watch her play and men were constantly challenging her to play. Saloon owners liked that Ivers was a respectable woman who kept to her values. These values included her refusal to play poker on Sundays.
As her reputation grew, so did the amount of money she was making. Some nights she would even make $6,000, an incredibly large sum of money at the time. Alice claimed that she won $250,000, which would now be worth over three million dollars.
Ivers used her good looks to distract men at the poker table. She always had the newest dresses, and even in her 50s was considered a very attractive woman. She was also very good at counting cards and figuring odds, which helped her at the table.
Alice was known to always be carrying a gun with her, preferably her .38. She was also known to smoke a lot.
In 1910, Ivers opened “Poker’s Palace,” a saloon in Fort Meade, South Dakota, which offered gambling and liquor downstairs, and prostitution upstairs. The saloon was always closed on Sundays, due to Iver’s religious beliefs. However, in 1913, some drunken soldiers disobeyed Iver’s “no work on Sunday” rule and started to get unruly, chaotic, and destructive of the house. It was then that Ivers shot her gun, supposedly to quiet the soldiers down. The shot ended up killing one of the soldiers and injuring another, resulting in Iver’s arrest, along with the arrest of six of her ‘girls’.
Iver’s time spent in jail was short, but she got through it with the help of reading the bible and smoking cigars. At the trial, she claimed self-defense and was acquitted. After the trial, her saloon was shut down.
While in her 60s, Alice Ivers was arrested several times after the “Poker Palace” incident for being a madam, a gambler, and a bootlegger, as well as her drunkenness. She would comply with the law and pay her fines, but keep her business still. In 1928, she was arrested again for bootlegging and her repeated offenses of holding a brothel. Despite this sentence to prison, Ivers did not end up having to stay, because she was pardoned by then Governor Bulow of South Dakota who did so because of her old age.
After being forced to retire by the anger of the military and other people who were upset with her blend of religious elements at her house in Sturgis, Alice’s health began to fail her. Alice Ivers died on February 27, 1930 in Rapid City after a gallbladder operation at the age of 79. Ivers was buried at the St. Aloysius Cemetery in Sturgis, South Dakota.

Anything But Beer’s It’s Pink, a strawberry-lime variety, foams lightly and pours a muted grapefruit color. It’s sweet with a sour aftertaste, like a reverse Sour Patch Kid. The menu at Stout Beard Brewing calls it a “fruit ale,” but it’s not a beer made with fruit. Anything But Beer exists outside of defined categories. It’s totally one-of-a-kind.
Craft beer has exploded at the same time that 30 percent of the U.S. population has decided to limit or eliminate gluten and grains from their diet. In 2006, there were just 1,409 craft breweries in the United States. Last year, there were almost 6,300.
Two Syracuse University alums, Logan Bonney and Brittany Berry, started Anything But Beer in March 2017 to combat that problem. “We provide a service for gluten and grain-free people that’s connecting them with their friends and connecting them with the community in a way that they previously couldn’t,” Berry says.
Since introducing their first few products, The Root Less Traveled made with spiced sweet potato, Midnight Hike with blueberry and blackcurrant, Apricotto made with apricot, and Fired Up! made with spiced apple and served hot, the pair has now created a total of 11 flavors.
To create this unique drink, Bonney and Berry relied on Bonney’s previous knowledge of brewing. Bonney learned ancient wine and mead recipes from Renaissance fairs, and he and Berry decided to translate his brewing knowledge into a product that would fit in with the craft beer scene, but be available to non-beer drinkers.
Anything But Beer’s locally-sourced, fruit-based, six to seven percent ABV drinks are now sold in 17 Syracuse breweries and restaurants. They plan to add three new concoctions to their product line by the end of fall, and they’ve recently expanded their distribution to Cortland and Watertown.
“Our local following has grown and has been extremely supportive. What they want is a taproom, so we’re going to give it to them,” Berry says of the taproom they’re opening in Hanover Square in April 2019.

text: Summary : Objectives: Whispered voice is investigated from the energetic point of view. Our hypothese is that whispered voice, and mainly the forced whispers are very similar to vocal effort, for non acoustic vocal parameters, and body movements. Design: Two experiments are combined. The first experiment focused on the laryngeal aspects, mainly the subglottal pressure, and also the electroglottography. The second experiment analyzed the body movements associated with loud whispered voice. Results: No electroglottograhic wave was observed during the two experiments. The vocal intensity was always lower during whispered voice than during comfortable voice (p< 0.001). In experiment 1, subglottal pressure was significantly higher during forced whisper than during the other conditions (p< 0.001). In experiment 2, the amplitude of the trunk movements in the sagittal plane were greater during loud whisper than during comfortable voice (p< 0.001). Conclusion: Whispered voice can be close to vocal loading, especially the loud whispered voice.

“What is honey?” “Why is it different colors?” “How is the honey produced by a local beekeeper different than the honey found in the store?” These and many more questions were asked recently by Capital University students enrolled in a course I teach titled Science by Inquiry. The course focuses on inquiry based learning in which students get to ask questions and develop methods to answer those questions all while the instructor supports the learning with materials and scientific methods. Students enrolled in the course are all majoring in education and plan to become elementary teachers, middle school teachers or intervention specialists after graduation. It was the students’ questions at the beginning of the semester that led to the collaborative development of classroom learning experiences focused on familiarizing students with beekeeping, learning about current events, and then carrying out a simple pollen analysis using honey samples.
Some of the various honeys chosen by students for the pollen analysis.
How are queens, workers, and drones alike and different? Sample photos and diagrams were provided for each.
What is inside a bee hive? An active observation hive was available for students to study.
What does pollen look and taste like? Pollen samples were available for tasting. Prepared slides of pollen grains were viewed using a compound microscope.
What equipment is used in beekeeping? Numerous tools such as a smoker, hive tool, frames, and a small demonstration hive were on display.
How much more concentrated is honey than nectar? Three glass jars with lids were prepared ahead of time with sugar solutions of 20% (representing nectar), 50% (representing an intermediary), and 80% (representing honey).
To enhance understanding of the industry, students were encouraged to seek out current events articles related to beekeeping. The articles selected included topics such as honey smuggling, ultrafiltration of honey, and pollen identification. Students were challenged to keep asking their own questions related to their specific wonderings, and they were able to answer these questions with the help of many online resources. Classroom activities continued to be guided by students’ questions. The focus of many questions centered around honey and what is actually in the honey we eat. As an instructor, my challenge was to develop appropriate classroom activities that could help students try to answer their questions, but were also manageable for the students to apply. When asking whether the honey they were eating actually contained pollen, it was apparent that a simple technique was needed for removing pollen from honey samples and examining it under a microscope. The goal for using a simple method was to eliminate the need for using potentially hazardous chemicals that would prevent the students from replicating the activity in a classroom with middle school or elementary students with just minor modifications. Students’ curiosity about available honey sources led them to choose many different samples to include in the study. Some of the honey selected was labeled as local, raw, or organic. Other honey came from commercial honey packers and restaurants, primarily fast food establishments such at Popeyes, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and McDonalds.
In order to successfully examine the pollen, the pollen in the sample must first be concentrated and then stained to provide adequate contrast for viewing. While pollen contained in honey can be visible under magnification with no staining, it is beneficial to use a stain to make the pollen grains more readily visible for the students and to make the surface structure of the pollen grains more distinct. This was found to be most advantageous especially considering the low amounts of pollen found in some samples. To prepare the stain ten grams of gelatin were added to 35ml of distilled water in a glass beaker. The beaker was placed on a hot plate until the gelatin dissolved, stirring as needed. Next, 30ml of glycerin was added along with a few crystals of basic fuchsin stain to give it a rosy color. It was then poured into two sterile petri dishes. Once cooled, the plates were kept under refrigeration until needed. The stained gelatin was prepared in advance, and the two petri dishes that resulted were more than enough for preparing all necessary slides made in class.
The preparation of the slides required patience and appropriate equipment. Using methods adapted from Rex Sawyer, two slides were prepared by students for each honey sample they selected to analyze. First, clean slides were labeled for the appropriate sample being prepared. Students measured 10ml of distilled water into a small beaker. The beaker was placed on a hot plate until the water was warm but not boiling. Five grams of honey were added to the warm water and swirled until combined. Half of the sample was poured into each of two test tubes. These test tubes were centrifuged for a minimum of 15 minutes at a speed of 2,000rpms. After centrifugation, the test tubes were very carefully inspected for a small deposit of sediment near the bottom of the tube. It was found that some samples did not have a visible sediment and these were centrifuged a second time. It was often helpful to hold a white sheet of paper behind the test tubes to make it easier to see any sediment. When sediment was visible, a long sterile pipette was used to collect the sediment with as little of the solution as possible. This sediment was then gently spread onto the center of one of the previously labeled slides. This was done for each test tube, resulting in a total of two slides. Both slides were placed on a hot plate set to the lowest setting. This allowed the material on the slides to dry. Once dry, a small cube of the fuchsin stained gelatin was placed on the dry sample. The heat from the plate quickly melted the gelatin and the slides were immediately removed from the hot plate and covered with a coverslip. Now the slides were ready to be viewed using compound microscopes.
Abundant pollen grains found by students in a honey sample (400x).
Looking at the prepared slides under the microscope was intriguing. The first challenge was distinguishing pollen from what the students referred to as “debris.” In some instances, the debris would also pick up the stain. Having resources available in the classroom with photos of common pollen grains was helpful, and students often used the irregular amorphous shape of the debris as a distinguishing factor. When pollen was found most students selected several random places on the slides at which to count pollen grains. For samples containing larger amounts of pollen, this method was successful in providing comparative data for the different honey samples. In a few cases, the students had so much pollen that great care had to be taken to accurately count all the grains. Most slides were initially analyzed at a magnification of 100x. Individual grains could be more closely studied at 400x. Photos were frequently taken to document student findings using a camera with a microscope eyepiece adapter. Students also discovered that some samples contained very little pollen at all. In these cases the students changed their approach and scanned the entire slide in search of any pollen grains. These pollen grains were then counted and photographed, often times individually.
Considering the variety of samples chosen by the students, it was no surprise that there was a great deal of variation in the results. This is okay, after all, it is the experience that is most important and for the students to see that science can be messy and unpredictable. It was exciting to see students really taking on the traditional roles of scientists – comparing results with other groups, questioning their own results, looking for sources of error, and trying to make sense of their data. The creation of two slides from each sample was helpful in checking data for reliability. In one case, considerable pollen was found on one slide while very little was found on another slide from the same sample. This led students to question their work and whether the slide with little pollen was actually prepared correctly. More practice preparing slides could help improve their skills and the overall reliability of the data collected. After quantifying the pollen, attempts were made to identify the source of the pollen grains present in the various honey samples. At first, students tried to use text resources provided in class. With so many initial similarities in the appearance of some of the pollen grains, a new approach was devised. A list of common flowering plants that would be visited by honey bees in central Ohio was constructed. Images were found online of the pollen grains from these plants. Students then compared their samples with the images from this list. This proved more successful in helping the students create positive identification of the pollen grains. It also reduced the frustration that was easily created by having students blindly searching for matching images. Of course it was still challenging to positively identify the pollen in samples that came from other locations. The honeys identified as monofloral were easier to investigate as images of the pollen from the monofloral source could be found online and then compared; much like was done with the other local samples.
Using inquiry in the classroom allowed students to ask questions about bees and honey that were interesting to them. We then collaborated to find answers to those questions. Armed with new information and a wealth of experiences, students were challenged to present their new knowledge in a culminating poster session where we were able to celebrate their learning. Students shared their results with their classmates and guest judges, Dr. Joe Latshaw and Mr. Dana Stahlman, a successful and well-respected beekeeper in the local area. Students also responded to questions from the knowledgeable judges that helped them better understand honey bees, the beekeeping industry, and even our culture as it relates to business and economics. During this poster session students also reflected on the learning process and how this process could be used in the future in their own classrooms. Many students noted their increased awareness as consumers of honey products and their greater understanding of the beekeeping industry in general. The entire experience was a terrific learning process for both the students and the instructor alike. It will be exciting to build upon these basic skills and continue to encourage students to seek out answers to the questions they have about bees and honey.

Who or what are NRTLs and why should we care?
Well the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL)1 Program is a managed by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)2. OSHA was created in 1970 by Congress with the mission of overseeing working conditions and training in the United States. The majority of OSHA’s regulations fall into the category of general requirements, so when it came to specific products, rather than regulate them directly, they decided to create the NRTL Program.
Under this program, OSHA approves private sector organizations to performs product certification. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is just one of these OSHA approved NRTLs. There are many others, each with their own range (or scope) of products that they have been authorized to oversee. Depending on the product category, there may be multiple companies with overlapping scopes of approval, meaning you may have more options than just UL.
Once a product has been certified, the NRTL authorizes the manufacturer to use their registered certification mark on the product. While each NRTLs mark is unique, they are all registered with OSHA. As a result their presence signifies compliance with appropriate safety standards.
So why should you care…well, because it means that there are usually more than one compliance company in the game. Sure UL is the biggest but there are plenty of other, sometimes better, options out there worth exploring. Take a look at the list below to see some of the options available.

4 Plant Alocasia Mix, This Alocasia mix contains 4 large plants in 4 inch reusable grower pots selected at random by vigor. This is a great low cost way to start your Alocasia collection. Plants are not labled. These are very healthy tropical plants with well established root systems.
The growth rate, bloom and leaf color of Alocasia plants will vary greatly depending on soil type, sunlight, temperature and other factors. Lower leaves are often trimmed prior to shipping to reduce transpiration and travel stress.
Alocasia are very easy to grow tropical plants that require little care. They add a wonderful accent to any outdoor space, garden or patio. In very cold zones a containerized Alocasia can be brought inside for the winter months. Most will survive a very light frost and quickly return to normal in spring. In the northern end of their grow zone Alocasia plants should be brought indoors or protected with mulch during the winter months.
Alocasias enjoy well drained but moist, rich organic mix. Remember try to stay away from wet, mucky or dry, sandy soils.
To help establish your new 4 Plant Alocasia Mix, fertilize sparingly at least 6 inches away from the base, tri-annually with a slow time release 15-5-10. Unfertilized they will tend to grow very slowly. Note: The heavy salts in cheaper fertilizers will damage the roots and possibly kill the plant.
Best outdoors if grown in zone 9-11, find your zone here. This Alocasia requires 80-90% sunlight. Depending on your location filtered sun is best. In the northern end of their grow zone Alocasia plants should be brought indoors or protected during the winter months. The patio zone is 4b-11 which means the potted plant will flourish over the summer months in colder zones but must be brought inside before frost.
Note: Before leaving, this 4 Plant Alocasia Mix is inspected, watered, pruned and topped to 36″ if necessary, to facilitate shipping. Your new plants’ pot is then bagged to ensure that the soil stays in the pot and not loose in the box. Then your plant is tissue or kraft paper wrapped and secured in place with natural biodegradable peanuts. You will be pleased.
You may want to buy this 4 Plant Mix online now while they are in stock.
