That is great news!
I'm looking forward to having the guys out here in sunny Southern California, where it happens to be pouring rain at the moment. But it is nothing the John Deere can't handle. They can help me sort out some mechanical tolerance issues that are holding up production. And if they didn't get enough skiing in at Arapahoe Basin, our local area, Big Bear, is supposed open on Friday.

Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Answer
Hi folks - here is the Quiz (we are early this week due to the US Thanksgiving Holiday):
The Question:
Approximately one gram of this element has been produced in the United States since 1967. There is no practical applications for this element outside scientific research. A Russia/US collaboration to produce the new element tennessine required a 22 milligram batch of this element that was prepared during a 250-day irradiation period and then purified for a further 90 days at Oak Ridge Laboratory in 2009. This element was named after the city where the University of California Radiation Laboratory is located. What element is being described?
Extra credit answer: What is the modern day name of the University of California Radiation Laboratory?
The Answer:
The element is Berkelium (Bk)! The major isotope of berkelium, 249-Bk, is synthesized in minute quantities in dedicated high-flux nuclear reactors, mainly at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, USA, and at the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors in Dimitrovgrad, Russia. Although very small amounts of berkelium were possibly produced in previous nuclear experiments, it was first intentionally synthesized, isolated and identified in December 1949 by a team lead by Glenn T. Seaborg at the University of California Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley California (i.e. the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory).
The winner(s) of the quiz is Raye Rivera and will get the services of Clumpy & Kloumpios for the week. Russell Kido was first with the extra credit answer.
