22 Hood to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram 110 LONDON, [1] 13 March 1947, 6 p.m.
Reference my telegram of March 4th, probable programme for Commission is as follows. Until 12th March main body of Commission will continue to hear principal witnesses at Salonika. After 12th March witnesses may be heard at discretion of Commission by a small body remaining in Salonika. From 9th to 20th March an investigation team under the leadership of the Australian representative will visit Albanian frontier region and Yugoslav frontier region in neighbourhood of Florina. From 13th to 19th March another team will visit Yugoslav frontier area accessible from Salonika. Proposed terminal date for enquiry in Greece is about 22nd March. Chief delegates may then visit Sofia and Belgrade, proceeding to Switzerland for preparation of report.
2. Party which has been visiting islands and Central Greece collected practically no evidence bearing directly on frontier problems but received much political propaganda on the one hand from refugees from the northern Balkan countries now living in the islands and on the other from Communists exiled on the Island of Ikaria, guerilla groups and guerilla-controlled villages. One witness seen was Andreas Tzimas, former Communist Deputy who was E.L.A.S. [2] Liaison Officer to Tito. It is possible he may be summoned to Salonika to give evidence respecting his activities in Yugoslavia, which have been frequently referred to by witnesses heard here. The general trend of the evidence heard by this party from witnesses was to the effect that the disturbances in Greece and on the frontier were due solely to the alleged persecution by the present Government of all left wing elements, and that the bandits operating in Central Greece had not been armed by the Northern Balkan powers but were only using arms from the E.L.A.S.
Army, or those taken by force from the Greek Army and Gendarmerie.
Allegations of persecution by the right wing were also made by witnesses heard at Agoriani, which is in a bandit-controlled area.
To E.A.M. adherents in this area the present conflict seemed one entirely of Greek 'Democracy' against the 'Fascist' Government of Athens, and no knowledge was admitted of intervention from outside.
3. On the other hand, the witnesses presented by the Greek Government who are now being heard at Salonika, all of whom so far have been former members of bands who either surrendered or were captured, have been specific as regards details of active support given to bandits from across the frontiers, and for the most part have not been shaken under exhaustive cross examination from the Yugoslav, Bulgarian, Albanian and (to a less extent) the Soviet representatives. There is no doubt that their evidence is building up a picture of, at the least, deliberate connivance of the northern countries at the warfare in Greece, including military training (particularly in Yugoslavia), facilities for crossing the frontiers, supply of arms and equipment, and care of wounded. One central fact which is emerging is the activity of the so-called People's Liberation Front (N.O.F.) in Yugoslavia, which appears in reality to be a movement for the incorporation of Greek Macedonia into Yugoslav Macedonia, and which all through last year was indoctrinating Greek bandits in the north with the idea of Macedonian 'liberation' from Greece.
4. In this connection it is likely that the Yugoslavs, in their anxiety to grind an axe for themselves, have exceeded the limits of the encouragement which they received from Moscow in the early stages of the intervention in Greece. The Soviet Representative of the Commission has been visibly embarrassed at the disclosures of the activities of N.O.F. It obviously does not suit Soviet policy to be implicitly associated with a movement of which the object is an avowed annexation of territory.
5. It is now possible to see the main lines of the report which would be drafted by the majority of the Commission. It would include the clear deduction from the evidence that the frontier disturbances have been in the last 12 months aided and abetted by the northern Balkan states, that at least two of these, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, have attempted to make use of Greek internal instability to provoke expansionist aims at the expense of Greek territory, and that behind the whole range of these more or less related activities lies the idea, not openly put forward by Governments but certainly developed at many lower levels, of the incorporation of Greece in the Communist-controlled Balkans Bloc.
The majority opinion would also be that Greece itself was very far from faultless, that there is some substance in the allegations of a state of civil war in Greece, and that a great many of the 20 or 30,000 Greeks who comprise the bandit forces are genuinely resisting what they believe to be an authoritarian, antidemocratic rule.
6. While this would be the broad judgment of the majority of the Commission on the facts as they have been seen on the spot, there is also a strong feeling that the Commission should go to the limit of its authorised powers in making recommendations for the future. The Greek Foreign Office itself, through its Liaison Officer with the Commission, has indicated to the United States and Australian representatives its hope that the Commission, while making for the sake of the record a clear condemnation of the acts of intervention from the north, will proceed further and suggest means for putting a stop to the present situation. An acceptable arrangement to the Greeks would be a non-aggression pact between the four Balkan countries in similar terms to the pacts concluded between the Soviet Union and the Little Entente in 1933. These earlier treaties contain a detailed definition of aggression (identical with that discussed at San Francisco) which covers fairly exactly the contingencies now present along the Greek frontier. Before the Greek Foreign Office made these views known the same idea had been canvassed by the United States delegation, and it would probably be acceptable to the majority of the Commission. There would naturally have to be adaptations from the model treaty of 1933 and especially it would be essential to provide for a standing Supervisory Commission under the United Nations, to be composed either of the four states themselves or the four states plus certain other members of the United Nations.
If you have any comments on this proposal I would be glad to receive them in good time before preparation of the report.
7. The Greek view is that if the Commission does this much it will fully justify itself and that the United Nations can thereafter safely leave Greece to work out its own salvation. This, unfortunately, is not true. Recent decisions of the Athens Government, a new wave of arrests of left wing adherents, and the appointment as Minister of Public Order of the notorious General Zervas predict an all out attempt to crush the guerrilla bands and E.A.M., which will risk precipitating a real civil war, unless some restraints are imposed. Without such restraints it could easily happen that within a few weeks a new situation will have arisen in Greece which will make the Commission's report out of date before it can be discussed in the Security Council.
8. The Athens Government, urged on by the Royalist and Conservative Press, relies on its belief that whatever difficulties it gets into the United Kingdom and United States of America must in the last resort always support it in order to prevent Greece from falling into the Eastern European Communist Bloc.
9. I have met most of the Members of the Cabinet and am not much impressed by their competence or breadth of outlook. Left to itself the Government is unlikely to do much to stop either the trend towards political extremism in the country or the present disastrous economic drift. British missions are well regarded but they remain purely advisors and on the whole the British seem to have found no way of imposing reasonable efficiency in the administration or practical steps towards political reconciliation. The King apparently takes no effective part in the direction of policy.
10. There is now every indication of much more active interest by the United States of America in Greek affairs than has been the case hitherto. Reports sent back to the State Department by the American delegate on the Commission have stressed the unsatisfactory internal conditions in Greece, and the report of the United States Economic Mission which has just finished its enquiry here will also contain severest criticism of the incompetent and shortsighted economic policy of the Government. As a result of these reports I understand that any financial help which the United States will give to Greece either directly or indirectly by way of assisting the British in their commitments will be linked with some strict conditions. The principal condition may be insistence on new elections at the latest by the autumn, to be prepared and held in a manner which will ensure the participation this time of all the left wing parties. Whether anything can be done meanwhile to broaden the composition of the Government is doubtful. Difficulties between certain personalities seem irreconcilable and in any case there is a noted lack of good party leaders. However, an assurance of new elections, if it can be got, will encourage moderate elements in the Government and will go a long way towards meeting the more legitimate demands of the extreme left, which believes, rightly or wrongly, that the ruling groups in Athens intend to exclude the left wing parties from sharing in the Government indefinitely, and tends, therefore more and more towards extreme courses.
11. I have formed the opinion myself that in these circumstances lies the best chance of the United Nations Commission to help to bring about some positive improvement in the political situation in this area.

Tia, if you just copy the HTML code (NOT the URL, but the HTML code string) for your photos right into the body of your message, we can then see the photos right in the message, instead of having to go to your personal photo site and use your ID and password (not really a good idea). Patty S. |

Patty, I don't know the difference between the url and html. I'm computer stupid. |

Just try to make your profile "UnPrivate" so that you can just post a link straight to your photos. And html is usually a long chain of numbers and letters under or around your photo somewhere. Sometimes called a tag. |

Unfortunately, Shutterfly doesn't give you an HTML code option. It just gives you an embedded code for Facebook/Blogger (you can get to the embedded code, but it's not in the correct coding string for GardenWeb, which uses basic HTML). I would suggest using Photobucket.com. It is much easier. Once you've uploaded your photos and go back to your album, all you have to do is simply float your mouse over a photo. A code window pops right up. Just left click once in the HTML code window, and it gets copied immediately to your Windows Clipboard. Then, all you need to do is enter another message here, and RIGHT click in the body of the message and select "Paste". The HTML code will then be pasted right into the body of your message. When you then click on "Preview Message", your photo will show up (you'll know you copied the correct code, then.) Very simple :-) Patty S. |

Looks like some form of bacterial canker. Did you buy it from the nursery like that? If so I would show them the pictures if it has a warranty. I think you can apply copper to try and stop it or if its on a branch you can cut back to green wood (try to cut way back away from the canker) On the trunk try a copper spray(Bonide or Something similar) You can cut it back down but it might kill the tree and I dont know if new growth would begin again. It might but Im unsure. |

A pressing matter to present to you this morning.
Toe Cleave. Yay, or Nay?
Okay, so it wasn't really a pressing matter. I just wanted to know.
I have a few pairs of shoes that dip daringly low past the vamp, these Mona pumps included. And well, …. I've gotta say, I'm a fan.
My vote: Believe in Cleave!
On a side note, I googled "toe cleavage" just a second ago and am a bit disturbed to discover there is an entire blog dedicated to toe cleavage. No joke. Yo! That's kinda whacked.
The truly pressing matter I need to mention is that Anthropologie is offering Free Shipping on orders over $100 for a limited time. Fly, be free, my little shopper butterflies. Go get something good.
xoxo Molly
p.s. Attention all creepy foot fetish peeps: leave my toe cleave out of it.
p.s.s. Don't forget to submit an outfit for the Analogous Color Challenge! Bring it, Ladies!

Some words from SpotInTheSand: | |
April 10, 2014 Well, it's been awhile, folks. There have been some pretty major changes in my life since I last posted. Not getting into it on here, but what tiny little bit of free time I did have prior to all the upheaval has vanished into a little thin wisp of steam. So, it's taken awhile, and the cliffhanger that even my editor tried her hardest to avoid ended up being the last thing I posted for six months. Fear no more, whatever loyal readers I may have left, because Brad Ch. 13 has been submitted to the site. It's been a few months, but I think it took them 4-5 days to get it published last time, so sometime around Tuesday next week, you should see it on the site. Chapter 14 is already 6 or 7 pages written. I'll never make promises again after this last round of massive hiatuses, but I'm hoping it will be finished within a month. If you're on my mailing list, you'll know as soon as it's posted. If you're not and you want to be, follow the instructions below. If you are and don't want to be, well... bite me, I guess. (No, just let me know, and I'll remove you). As always, if there are any non-main characters in either of my series that you'd like to see a separate story on.. maybe their backstory, or what happens after Brad rolls through their town or Tim finishes head-shrinking them... please let me know. Reader interaction is excellent and necessary. If you would like to get e-mail updates when I post new chapters or new stories, e-mail me at spotinthesand(at)gmail(dot)com . If you've sent feedback privately and I haven't responded, send it again. I answer all feedback within a a few days. Spot |

If the candidate does seem like someone that might fill your open position nicely, invite her in for a brief, in-person interview. For this interview, impressions are imporant. Look for a well-groomed and fashionable image that fits with your practice's culture. It is the burden of the candidate to impress the owner with her image, so take note if she appears to have put her best foot forward in regard to her appearance.
Also, notice non-verbal communication cues, such as good eye contact and open body language. Non-verbal cues make up 60% of communication and can say more that verbal cues. People that seem open and friendly are more likely to be adaptable, while those that seem closed off and defensive may raise a red flag.
Additionally, watch the person's tone and outlook. Is she coming across as someone who is positive or negative? How was her working relationship with her last employer? Signals in demeanor and attitude during this interview are important, as they can portend the relationships and attitudes a candidate will possibly create if she is hired for the position.
If the candidate is not a fit, thank her for her time and move along, but if it seems like there is a future for her at your practice, continue the process by calling at least three of her professional references to find out about her experience, background and professional attitude in the workplace.
Next, bring the still-remaining candidates back in for a second interview. This time, choose an outside location, such as a coffee shop or restaurant. Look for consistency in her communication skills and the image she presents. Also, get down to brass tacks with your interview questions at this point. See Characteristic Questions to review list of interview questions that are based on candidates' strengths and weaknesses. Make sure to focus on any potential issues you could see arising, as it would be better to find this out now, as opposed to after you hire a candidate. Discuss compensation, and, if appropriate, set up a technical interview. The candidate should give clear and direct responses to all your questions, helping you to make the best decision for your practice when hiring a new team member.

Man dies after working in Valpo water treatment tank
BY BOB KOSTANCZUK firstname.lastname@example.com July 26, 2011 10:00PM
Updated: November 2, 2011 2:07PM
A 38-year-old worker from northern Indiana became ill and died Monday after working on a tank at the Valparaiso water treatment plant, according to Porter County Coroner Chuck Harris.
Donald Nowell of Hamlet was pronounced dead Monday evening at Porter hospital in Valparaiso after he started to get nauseous and dizzy following work that involved chemicals, Harris said.
Harris said he could not yet provide a cause of death following a Tuesday autopsy.
"I just know that he's got heavily damaged lungs, and I don't know if it was caused by the chemicals that the gentleman was working with, or a pre-existing condition," Harris said. "There could have been an underlying medical condition, or it could have been from the chemicals that he was working with."
Harris said Nowell was working with epoxy material. The coroner also said it is his understanding that Nowell was inside a tank doing some kind of repair work when he began getting dizzy. Nowell was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival, Harris said.
"He's not a city worker," said Harris, indicating that Nowell was employed by an Indiana company.
Harris estimated that a cause of death for Nowell would probably be determined in about two weeks, adding that medical tests would be done involving the examination of tissue samples.
Harris listed the address of the water treatment plant as 1251 Joliet Road, which is the address for Valparaiso's wastewater treatment facilities.

Skin Care Information
Mesotherapy is an easy set of injectable medications, vitamins, and minerals. Depending on the desired effects that you want, the area being targeted, and the problems that you hope to resolve, a number of ingredients are combined to produce the various "cocktails" that will be injected for your treatment. For example, the mixture of ingredients used to break down fat deposits on your hips is different from that used to break down fat deposits under your eyes. Still another formula is used to address the fat under your chin. Cellulite and facial rejuvenation treatments require another set of ingredients altogether to obtain your desired results. The medications that make up the Mesotherapy cocktails work to break down the fat located underneath your skin. The medications force the membrane of the fat cell to collapse and what is left travels through the bloodstream and is removed from your body through the kidneys and bowel.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 1
Posted By: Dr. D'Adamo from Sally H.Date: February 16, 1997 at 18:14:44
In Response To: Re: O's and low protein diet (Peter D'Adamo)
Dear Dr. D'Adamo:I've been reading all the posts. Most interesting.I meant to add that I am a healthy 62 year old other than a bit too much weight. Must be the genes of my Grandmothers who passed away in their late 90's of old age. One Grandfather did have diabetes and passed away in his late 70's. I did have a problem with hypoglycemia in years past after the stress of a divorce and severe dieting, but no longer. I had several accidents years ago. Several years ago I learned the jell in the l-5 disc is gone which explains the pain I feel if I sit too long in a straight back chair. I can't bend or lift now, which I can live without, except I miss gardening. I don't suppose the jell will ever come back no matter what I eat. I love to swim which I do for exercise. I know that losing weight would help the back. Any thoughts on discs? Thanks again for taking your time to respond to all of us. You are a true humanitarian. Sincerely Sally Harrington from the San Juans Washington.

Whether we believe it is right or not, many of us have become accustomed to the fact that a large number people download copyrighted material regularly using Peer-to-Peer file-sharing software. As a result, the entertainment industry is losing billions of dollars in revenue, and is suffering from the infringements of many copyrights. Who should be held responsible for this? Is it the fault of the people who misuse the software, or is it perhaps the fault of the software distributors for allowing this to take place? The recent case of MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd examined these issues. The Parties Involved Grokster and other P2P software providers: All distribute free software that allows computer users to share electronic files (including digitised music and motion pictures) through P2P networks. This software allows transfer of any digital file, but has been mostly used by customers to share copyrighted files (e.g. music and video). MGM and other entertainment companies (24 in total): A collection of song-writers, music publishers and motion picture studios who own or control the vast majority of copyrighted motion pictures and sound recordings in the United States (their own description). They sought damages and an injunction against respondents (Grokster) for copyright infringement. MGM accused Grokster of distributing software which enabled users to breach copyright restrictions. They insisted that around 90% of data transferred using P2P software was copyrighted, costing them millions of dollars in lost revenues. They also argued that this type of copyright infringement would not occur if Grokster and similar software distributors did not make it possible. The Issues at Stake Peer-to-Peer (P2P) File Sharing: Information in Groksters peer-to-peer distribution network does not exist in one place (there is no central server holding all the information), rather, every computer in the network holds information available to all other users in the network. Put another way, in a peer-to-peer network each computer is both a server and client. Members need only to download the relevant software, free of charge, and they may participate in this network to exchange files, which are more often than not copyrighted.
Billions of files are shared across P2P networks each month - a large proportion of which are illegal. If Grokster was made responsible for their actions, the amount of files transferred would be expected to reduce significantly as tighter regulations are enforced.
Both the District Court of California and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favour of Grokster, much to MGMs immense disappointment. It was held in both courts that Grokster escaped liability for a number of reasons:
Due to the extent of disagreement which arose as to whether Grokster is protected under the Sony Betamax case, a new test has been developed to determine whether the software in question is protected by the ruling in the Betamax case. The test assesses whether or not the distributors of the software have promoted it as a means of copyright infringement. If such intentions were found, then the ruling of the Betamax case could not be used as precedent. Conclusion As long as new innovations do not affect existing copyrights, then this ruling should not affect them. It is seen by the Supreme Court as a fair balance between the benefits gained by allowing and promoting technological innovation and the need to respect the intellectual property rights of artists. However, critics do not quite view it in the same light: they are sceptical that the test will work in their favour due to its inherent ambiguity. There are major concerns, however, that despite the good intentions of the court to strike a fair balance between innovation and copyrights, many investors may be put off. If there is a slight chance that a potential project is at risk from this ruling, then ideas are likely to go no further than the drawing board. This could have huge significance, especially regarding the creation of new digital technologies: Any threat of liability, and the idea dies Many argue that file-sharing is not the problem which needs to be addressed here, it is the issue of the individuals that abuse it. On the other hand, trying to hold millions of downloaders responsible for their (numerous) actions would be logistically impossible, and so a more preventative approach has instead been used.

Our Town Visions of America Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Here's the grocery store and here's Mr. Morgan's drugstore. Most everybody in town manages to look into these two stores once a day. Public School's over yonder. High School's still farther over. Quarter of nine mornings, noontimes, and three o'clock afternoons, the hull town can hear the yelling and screaming from those schoolyards. (I.25-6)
Grover's Corners is so small that the stores and schools are not referred to by name but by purpose.
The earliest tombstones in the cemetery up there on the mountain say 1670-1680 – they're Grovers and Cartwrights and Gibbses and Herseys – same names as are around here now. (III.41)
Grover's Corners is home to generations of the same families.
In our town we like to know the facts about everybody. (I.51)
Read: everybody is in everybody else's business.

As parents walked excited or nervous children to bus stops last Tuesday morning, teachers prepared their classrooms, arranging desks and supplies in anticipation of their newest class' arrival.
By the start of this school year, Heather Rogers, who has five children with ages ranging from 18 to 10, had her family's back-to-school routine well established. Her youngest child, Jessica, is a fifth grader at C.E. Curtis Elementary School.
"I have five and she's my baby," Rogers said of Jessica as she waited for her at the bus stop Monday. "At this point, getting her up and off is easy.
"This year was easy. It was the first time she attended school without a sibling. … This is the first year they seem to like their bus driver."
Jessica said she had a good first day of school last week, though her teacher recently had a baby and is not back yet.
"I actually like waking up early for the first day," she said.
By July, Rogers said, she's usually planning for her children's return to the classroom, and "picking up school things here and there."
"I like to plan ahead," she said. "It takes a big chunk of change just to get the school supplies."
Jessica was actually excited for school to start, she said. By the time mid-summer rolls around, everybody's bored, Rogers said.
"Like the few weeks before school I was like, 'Yeah, I'm ready for school,'" Jessica said.
Rogers still remembers what it was like to put her first child, who graduated from Matoaca High School last year, on the bus for her first day of school.
"It was devastating," she said. "It's a very sad and proud moment all rolled into one. You are excited to see them grow up and you're sad to see them grow up."
Jessica, who loves math, said she had a very nice teacher her first year of school. She also made a new friend her first day of kindergarten, she said.
"Right when I walked in I saw this cute guy … ," she said, laughing. "I really didn't know what I was doing, so I asked him out." The two have remained friends through elementary school.
At C.C. Wells Elementary School in Chester last week, third-grade teacher Susan Wilson had her first day at a new school; Wilson, a second-year teacher, taught third grade at J.B. Watkins Elementary School last year.
"I always start off all organized in the morning," she said, and the afternoon, once the students have gone, is recovery time. This year's first day "was still a little hectic, but I felt more prepared this year," she said.
"It went as smoothly as it could for the first day," said Wilson, who is still learning her way around the school. "I got someone who'd been here last year to be the line leader."
Many of the questions she received from students were about homework, she said. Third grade is the first year they use the agenda, which helps them keep track of assignments, she said.
"I was amazed at all the homework questions," she said. They also asked "tons of questions" about Wilson, who is pregnant.
The first few days of school are, at this age, about establishing rules and routines, she said. From day one, it's important to set those expectations. On the first day, Wilson had each of her students sign the classroom rules, "kind of like a contract," she said.
"As you get those established … they know when to raise their hand and when to listen," she said. "It's learning to forget their old routine from last year and learn a new one."
Every year brings its own challenges, she said, as teachers get to know their students and their learning styles.
"Well, the 2 percent pay cut is definitely going to be a challenge for everyone," she said.
But, Wilson was excited to return to the classroom.
"I was very excited because I was hanging out at home all summer," she said. "This morning, when my alarm clock was going off, however, that was a different story."
As for the students, "you could tell that some of them are excited, some of them are a little somber," she said. "Hopefully your energy transfers to them."
There aren't really ordinary days for teachers, Wilson said.
"Teaching, it's never the same," she said. "You always have something different going on."
Near the end of the first week of classes, L.C. Bird High School Principal Beth Teigen said it had "been a great week."
"The kids came back, and they were excited to be here," Teigen said Thursday. At a faculty meeting at the end of the day, "there were only positive comments."
"Just everyone was positive," she said. "It was really nice, because I know we've come off all the budget woes." Though the 2 percent pay cut has impacted teachers, "I don't think it will impact the students in the building," she said. The teachers still "have a passion about what they're doing," she said.
At the high school level, the goal is to make students feel welcome in the school on the first day, she said.
"The other thing is to remind them this is a fresh year, a fresh start," she said. "Kind of our message to them is that this is their job these 180 days," and they need to get involved in school life and activities.
"It's just exciting to be back and it's flying by very quickly," she said. "It'll be Thanksgiving and winter break before we know it."

We were so excited, (and curious), trying to be a good host family, that..you guested it. We caused both hives to swarm. My husband took the Queens 'chambers' out as soon as they emurged. They both swarmed. One of the hives diffinately took her anterage and left. We were afraid both Queens left since they both swarmed. Yet one of the hives still has about 1/2 the anterage. We don't want to disturbe them right now. Don't see the queen, but we are new to this.The bees are very busy!
Does it sound like we might have a Queen left? Are there any other bee keepers in our area who might might like to chat and give advice? |

There are way's to prevent swarming, splitting, checker boarding,....like open up the brood chamber etc. but sometimes you cant do much. I let mine swarm and I can catch them,...these will be my new hives for the following year. You should be fine...hopefully? Not really sure what your husband did, ..think he took out queen cells, if he did, then the hive could get queen less. The old queen takes off with about half the bees, the rest will take over with a new mated queen,...normally, if you didn't take all the queen cells out. Check for new eggs/larvae in about 2 weeks. |
DH says we just have about 30 bees lift, and he doesn't see any eggs, and maybe not any drones. "So looks like we are stuck." He is thinking of buying another beehive, from a guy who has offered to let him watch and learn. We need the learning! Thank you konrad. |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Wed, Apr 18, 12 at 23:50
Yeah,...your hive is gone, too bad, good advise from the guy. |
Google Package bees, you should find a package with bees and Queen for $130 or less. Order now or you will miss the season. Follow the suppliers instructions and install the bees. Be sure to feed the bees with Sugar water (1 to 1) and some patty food, also from the web. You should have 95% chance of success. Keep us posted. |

>>He is thinking of buying another beehive, from a guy who has offered to let him watch and learn.<< This is a better plan. |
There are numerous videos on Youtube showing how to install bees. If you can't find them I will help you. |

This is what you need to know about the essentials in the world of 2015 ski gear.The best hike-enabled boots combine AT tourability, alpine authority, and, yes, après comfort. That's why we give you 2014's top 21 all-mountain, adventure-focused ski boots for men and women.You don't want a walk mode. You're pretty good at walking in ski boots by now. That's why we bring you 2014's top 24 traditional all-mountain ski boots for men and women.Don't call them race boots. But don't expect them to be happy skidding around enjoying the view. Here are the top 8 technical boots we tested for the 2014-15 season.We're bringing back the best pow, gear, and mountain shots from days of yore.These skis are all-mountain multitools, capable wherever you happen to hammer. But they do have a penchant for being on edge, which means your groomers are about to get way more fun.Every avid Eastern (and Midwestern) skier knows that the snow's a little harder there, the storms a little tougher to predict. So what? It builds character. And these are the skis that will be stoking their passion this season.These skis are your keys to everyday awesomeness: surfing pow, charging crud, carving on corduroy. They do, however, prefer to spend their time in soft snow (and we can't say we blame 'em).Lucky you, living in ski paradise. If soft snow is your natural habitat, you'll want a ski that thrives in the hip-deep but takes just as eagerly to everyday conditions.Powder days. So few each season, but we remember them—and relive them over beers—for the rest of our lives. Make the most out of them with skis that make the stuff easier and more memorable than ever before.

Some of you may have seen my Nestt light freighter thread (or two…) and I'm currently using the amazing pilot cards over on A Few Maneuvres (done by GeckoTH, I believe) to make some good looking pilot cards. Even with the Card Generator that I've linked to in the Z-95 thread, I have encountered the same snag though: there is no artwork of Nestt freighters flying through space to be found anywhere on the Internet. (Which is cool, even if only because it defies Rule 34… )
So, I'm going to turn to the people who care about such stuff and ask for help: is there anyone out there who would be interested in doing up some art for said cards - five different pictures, four pilot cards and a Title upgrade card for the Miv'rah Firestorm?
