Alternatives: The Constitution Party
If you are a conservative, the Republicans, as a party, are pretty disappointing, don't you agree? If you don't agree, please go back to bed and pull the covers over your head. It's nice under there.
The Republicans have had control of the U.S. government to a large degree since 1994 and the end result has been a very non-conservative state of affairs. The deficit has gone through the stratosphere and our southern border has become an international cause celebre. By way of definition, a 'cause celebre' tends to involve few U.S. border guards guarding the border.
So let's learn about an alternative.
A Brief History of the Constitution Party
In 1992, a coalition of independent state parties formed the U.S. Taxpayers Party. The U.S. Taxpayer's Party's goal was to limit the Federal Government to its constitutional boundaries and to restore civil government to the principles our country was founded upon. Some of the state affiliate parties have adopted the national party name, while others have adopted or retained a different name.
In 1992, the party's presidential candidate, Howard Phillips, was on the ballot in 21 states. In 1995, the party became the fifth political party to be formally recognized by the Federal Election Commission as a national political party. In 1996 the party achieved ballot access in 39 states, with Howard Phillips again as its presidential candidate.
In 1999 the party name was changed to "Constitution Party," to better reflect the party's primary policy approach of enforcing the U.S. Constitution's provisions and limitations. Also at that convention, Howard Phillips was elected to be the party's presidential nominee for the 2000 elections. In 2004, the Constitution Party nominated Michael Peroutka as its presidential candidate. The challenges our nation faces are dire and pervasive. Therefore, the Constitution Party maintains its focus on identifying, training and preparing candidates for future elections at all levels of government, from the local level on up. In support of this objective and to raise public awareness, the party has built its membership and organization at the state, county and local level. The Constitution Party strongly champions the principles of government laid down by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, principles which have been abandoned by our political establishment. Unlike other political organizations, we do not believe these principles are outdated. We recognize that the Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the land and must be enforced.
The proper and lawful division of governmental authority among the Federal, State and local governments was an arrangement that the Founders rightly saw as necessary to preserving freedom and justice. Only after that federal, constitutional order is restored to its proper balance can we reverse America's slide into lawlessness, corruption and tyranny.
The Constitution Party is the only party which is completely pro-life, pro-gun, pro-American sovereignty and independence, and in favor of a strong national defense. It is also the only party that is anti-globalist, anti-free trade, anti-deindustrialization, and anti-unchecked immigration. We oppose special rights for homosexuals, the constantly increasing expansion of unlawful police laws, foreign aid, and military interventionism.
Constitution Party Mission Statement
The mission of the Constitution Party is to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity through the election, at all levels of government, of Constitution Party candidates who will uphold the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. It is our goal to limit the federal government to its delegated, enumerated, Constitutional functions and to restore American jurisprudence to its original Biblical common-law foundations.

I certainly understand the temptation of switching to another party. I used to be a Libertarian. unfortunately, the system just doesn't work that way. Our system is set up as winner-take-all contests. Third party candidates takes votes away from the major party more closely aligned with them, allowing the less closely aligned major party to win.
A perfect example was the Georgia Senate race a few years ago. The Democrat won 49%, the Republican 48%, and the Libertarian 3%. In the runoff, the Democrat got 49% again, and the Republican 51%. Almost all of the Libertarian votes went to the Republican. In any other state, the Democrat would have won on the first vote.
The Consitution did not set up the winner-take-all system, the states did. The way to do this properly is to eliminate the congressional districts entirely, and have at-large elections, with each voter getting 11 votes. They may be cast for 11 different candidates, or all 11 to one candidate, or in any combination one desires.
Thge advantages are that we would have more representative representatives, and those representatives would be more inclined to work together for the benefit of the state, rather than just for their own districts.
Folks, a winner take all system is an advantage, not a disadvantage. I'm pretty familiar with the Constitution Party. I'm a conservative Republican and I'm disappointed with many things in my party but the Constitution Party platform scares me.
You make the assertion that we winner-take-all system is an advantage, but do not back it up.
As a follow-up to my Georgia example, we now have Montana, where the Democrat has the lead with 48.9%, the Republican has 48.5%, and the Libertarian has 2.6%.
Unlike Georgia, there is no run-off in Montana. Those Libertarian votes could give control of the Senate to the Democrats.
I misunderstood. So, this Constitution Party is not libertarian-style conservative. I clink on the links and see that it's old-school right-wing populist, of the Buchanite(as in Pat) variety.
Constitutional Party here I come!
Third parties are good, Remember? A third party made GWB president. (that, along with the Mafia, the CIA, anti-Castro cuban expats, a shadowy network of evanglo-fascists, and a sneaky ploy involving steel tariffs) I say, vote CPUSA!
A third party also made Clinton President.
Just scoping out the alternatives, guys. I'm intending to continue working on the GOP from the inside. Both parties have a lot of hosers in the leadership and a lot of decent people in the grassroots. There has to be a way to bridge the differences, and thinking outside the party box seems worthwhile.
it's first-past-the-post, man. We wont have competitive third parties till after the revolution. in the meantime, this might help easy the pain:
Oh man, an extra thousand years in Purgatory for me now, for sure.
We've had over 140 years of Democrat/Republican (Republicrat) statist rule. Enough already. The idea of going with one of those parties is no longer viable if we are to maintain our liberties. The only way to get rid of them, short of the alternative laid out in our own Declaration of Independence is to vote CP.

Hi! I'm the newest addition to Fun With History. I am a early modern Europeanist with a research focus on print culture in the British Isles, and a minor field in World History. On this American History blog I'm "one of those things that's not like the other", although in the period of my own research the American colonies were still part of the Commonwealth.
One of the topics I will focus on is the relationship between history, research, scholarship, and the Digital Humanities or the web at large. The basis of all historical research, especially on the PhD level and beyond, is the scholar's time spent in the archives with (hopefully) original sources. In the last five years, digitization projects and the spread of the idea of the "digital humanities" has revolutionized the way historical research is conducted. In my case, the sources I work with are old, fragile, and generally housed in the UK. Even when I was in London doing dissertation work at the British Library, the archivists had me working with facsimiles and microfilmed copies a lot of the time out of concern for the fragility of the original documents. In recent years, archives, universities, libraries, and educational publishers such as GALE have moved away from microfilm and towards digital collections. Digitization allows for better copies of originals, can easily duplicate color, and provide access (sometimes free, sometimes via subscription) anywhere in the world. No more waiting for microfilm and getting dizzy while zipping through reels. And as any consumer of digital media knows, the ability to conduct a full-text search is invaluable for research.
The problem has been one of access. Digitization and maintenance of digital archives cost money and not all institutions, much less individuals, can afford it. Fortunately, this is changing. Starting today, Eighteenth Century Collections Online has partnered up with TCP to create 18th Century Connect. For those who don't know, ECCO is one of Gale's database that includes searchable digitized original documents. Want to read an original copy of Swift's Gulliver's Travels? You can find almost every copy that was printed available here. It's like GoogleBooks for historians. They've teamed up to release "The roughly 2,000 texts released by Gale Cengage Learning and the Text Creation Partnership (see the News tab) are available for full-text searching here. " This means that you can do full-text searches of these original sources! Not only do they have texts,they also have prints (browse the "marriage" tag for examples).
Once you create an account, you can collect items (save them in a folder), add a private annotation (note-taking for each source, great for research), or open a public discussion. The purpose of the project is to be both a research tool and an interactive, on-going, scholar discussion regarding sources. Best of all, it's already Zotero-compatible (don't know Zotero? You will in a post or two).
This and other publicly-accessible databases continue to revolutionize the historical field. They make research less expensive and more accessible. Because you can do your preliminary work in your pjs, on your couch, it allows for shorter more target archive trips – a necessity in the current budget crisis. They will never replace the dusty box experience – for example. with my work what you see on the back side of the document and the feel of the paper tells me as valuable information as the words on the page – but they can 1) help streamline research and 2) allow you to re-access sources once you've returned home.
The second impact of projects like this and others I will highlight in the coming months is that they provide students – elementary through the PhD- the opportunity to explore primary source material they would otherwise never get their hands on. Can't get to DC but have internet? You can access impressions from the Library of Congress. As an instructor – set your students free and see what they find on their own. Or use the database as an introduction to using archives and doing historical research. Or create primary source assignments via 18thConnect.org instead of asking them to buy hard copies of the same books. For the book historians among us, ask students to do a project comparing the different editions – and take that print-is-fixed narrative and blow it right out the window.
For now, have fun, find me in the discussions and stay tuned for more introductions to some really incredible historical sources and databases that are at your fingertips (and where PJs are an acceptable dress code).

For such a young industry the Web really does seem to repeat the same old stories often enough. Here it's the European Union warning everyone that opt out just isn't a good enough protection of consumer rights. It's only a few years ago that we had exactly the same point being made about email and spamming.
This time around it's about the use of consumer data. When you download an application, or start to use a service (say, Facebook) you're often asked "Would you allow us to use your information to provide you with a better service" or some such. And the option is almost always pre-ticked for you. You can see the same thing going on with "Do Not Track" in web browsers. Microsoft has caused outrage by announcing that users will have to opt out of do not follow (or opt in to being followed if you see what I mean) and half the web is now insisting that they'll just disregard this in traffic through Microsoft's browsers.
And we've seen this before with email. As it was you'd be presented with the choice "can we send you more emails about our lovely stuff and choice partners" and then that list would be sold around the marketplace until every merchant of everything was sending you email. The choice of "Yes" being pre-ticked for you. The system was changed (in law) so that you had to opt in. And then further so that a confirmation email had to be sent which you then had to agree to again: double opt in.
All that the EU is doing here is announcing that very much the same should apply to permission to use consumer data:
Under the Commission's proposed regime, organisations seeking to rely on individuals' consent in order to process their personal data would be required to ensure that that consent was explicit, freely given, specific and informed and obtained through a statement or "clear affirmative action".
Albrecht has now said (215-page/751KB PDF) that freely given consent would generally not be said to have been obtained if the consent is gleaned from "pre-ticked boxes" companies often use in consumer agreements.
"In order to ensure free consent, it should be clarified that consent does not provide a valid legal ground where the individual has no genuine and free choice and is subsequently not able to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment," Albrecht said. "The use of default options which the data subject is required to modify to object to the processing, such as pre-ticked boxes, does not express free consent."
I wouldn't even say that this decision is unusual. A very similar point has been considered before and opt out was not considered sufficient. I can't see the surprise in the finding that opt out still isn't sufficient.

Attack code out for latest Microsoft flaw
The "proof-of-concept" exploits that take advantage of a flaw in the media player were posted on the Web over the past couple of days. The flaw, rated "critical" by Microsoft, could enable an attacker to seize control of a vulnerable computer system.
The appearance of proof-of concept code is usually a sign that actual attacks are not far off. Microsoft, when it released its patch Tuesday, urged users to upgrade their systems as soon as possible.
Microsoft recently issued patch MS06-005 as part of its monthly security update. The vulnerability in Windows Media Player can compromise a system through malicious images embedded in the player.
Versions of Windows Media Player affected by the bug include 7.1 through 10. The vulnerability was also tagged as "critical" by the French Security Incident Response Team, or FrSIRT, a research outfit that published one of the two exploits.
Microsoft announced the release of seven fixes on Tuesday, including a "critical" patch for a Windows Meta File vulnerability in Internet Explorer. It exists only in IE 5.01 with Service Pack 4 on Windows 2000 and IE 5.5 with Service Pack 2 on Windows ME, Microsoft said in the security advisory.

Mine's been running for almost 2 years, never was i infected by a virus or spyware. I can't even remember if i ever experience BSOD. You just need to configure file/folder AND REGISTRY permissions, policies and firewall. My XP doesn't have an Anti-virus and Anti-spyware installed, AV software adds strain to HDD so it will last longer. Just make sure you do these first before connecting to the internet, and just be very careful of what sites you visit and files you download.

- Microsoft Flawed Again.
- I bet you thought I was going to complain about Microsoft and it's bugs didn't you. Well, I'm not.
In the past few weeks I have read about flaws in Linux and Microsoft. I've even read about a virus for the MacOSX (couldn't tell you if it's true or not).
I thought about it a bit and the real problem starts with the foundation of computers. First you have the hardware that is mass produced to be sold at the lowest possible price while generating the best bottom line. Then you have old languages that allow for bad programming. Then add legacy code which creates the potential for old flaws to still exist. Top that off with many over worked programmers and deadlines. Then you through in the average user or the user who thinks they know enough to be safe.
What I think we have here is an accident waiting to happen. The more I think about it the more I realize that the problem is really big and way beyond just Microsoft or Linux. Standards are seldom fully followed and cheap hardware is just that Cheap.
I think we need hardware that knows how to monitor itself for bad data and a programming language that makes it much harder for programmers to let bad code slip in. I think we need more openness in the technology world without becoming completly open source. I think we need to work harder at creating and following standards. I think users need to work harder at understanding the systems they are working on. We also need to slow down. Are we all really in that big a hurry to get it all done. When you die it's not going to make a bit of difference to you anyway.
The reality is that programmers can make software more secure and stable and hardware makers can make smarter hardware. However, it's not going to happen until we all realize that the problem with the world is the people living in it. People are the greatest computer this world has ever known and look how flawed we all are. :)

- hard to ti have hardware security
- The problem how is a piece of hardware ment to know what a program should be doing. There are times when programs need to do things legitimatly that a virus could also use. For instance I might want to upgrade my firewall, I would need to change the firewalls executable, that would be legitimate. However a virus might do the same thing to stop a firewll working.
I think you are getting into the realm of "trustworthy computing" where all apps need to be digitally sined before the hardware will run them. But then you still have many of the flaws that allow a remote attacker to use a legitimate program to do its bidding. Remember the WMF flaw, an image could make Windows execute the code for it.
There are things like hardware DEP which can protect things in memory to try and prevent tampering.
I agree about insecure languages, C allows you to exceed the memory you have reserved and keep going through memory till you run out of the memory belonging to your program, though this is sometimes considered a "feature" which makes it versitile. Simple things like checking user input tend to be skipped, its not taught thourelghy enough, When I was taught to program security of apps was not seen as important. Unfortunatly it is. When apps could only be provided with data from the user it was safer but now apps such as your webbrowser are given data by remote users there can be problems. And even non networked apps can be targetted for privillage escillation, if I have an app with higher permissions running then anopther app could exploit its vunerabillitys to bypass OS execution permissions.

- The hardware and software we use today is made by people. People aren't perfect so neither is the hardware and software they make.
Programmers CAN program better code and Engineers CAN make smarter hardware but so long as we care more about how much something costs and not how well it performs, we will always have cheap hardware and buggy software.

- We all work for free and for the betterment of the human race.
Ok, now we all know that's never going to happen.
Unfortunatly there is no real perfect solution. If the day comes we build hardware and software smart enough to fix itself or learn and build better version then you get the Terminator or the Matrix.
I'm not sure that in the big picture computers or advancing technology will ever be safe and secure. Someone will always have away to convert a 1 into a 0 when it should have stayed a 1. This doesn't mean that we should work for better hardware and software, but it's just never going to be perfect or unbreakable (at least not in my lifetime).
You could have a programming language that gave you all the power of assembly or C/C++, but by default had that power turned off. In other words in you code you might specify a piece of code that says it's turning on a potentially unsafe bit of code. This way you get all the power you want and you can have a safe (relatively speaking) language. I suppose you could say a language that's VB and C++.
Ah, well. It's never going to happen so I'm done talking about it.

People who auto-update are protected. People who manually update can only blame themselves for not installing the patch.
At least Microsoft didn't solve the problem by telling people to install the latest kernel.... or uninstall their Databse engine and reinstall the latest version.... "Just upgrade to the latest version" is a strategy that seems far too common with many open-source projects.
It is far easier for a business to test and integrate a patch than it is to evaluate and implement an entire new version of a relied-upon application.

Not all models are supported, but a very good number (most?) of them
are. My DeskJet 825c works great. There is an OS X port of these drivers
My setup is as follows:

Apsfilter to get it all set up
Cups reportedly works well with these drivers too, but Apsfilter is the

Highlights of February: my trip to Salt Lake City with a friend for a blog conference, with a lot of shopping and gluten-free treats, Valentine's Day, and my oldest son's 10th birthday party (Lego Movie theme)
Unfortunately the rest of February was filled with sickness in our house. What is it with February that wipes everyone out every year? My hubby is down and out right now with what I think is influenza, I'm typing while slumped in the chair with body aches, and my youngest has double ear infections and just got over bronchitis. All I can say is, "Bring on March!" I can't wait until I can open up windows and do some spring cleaning!
To cheer me up, I enjoyed looking back at some of my favorite things from the month. I hope you enjoy reading them too!
5 gluten-free recipes I drooled over this month:
- Homemade Hot Chocolate from Gimme Some Oven – I love hot chocolate, and have been looking for a good make-at-home recipe for a while. I just made a batch of this today and absolutely LOVE it! After I hit the publish button, I'm going to go refill my cup!
- Gluten free Wonton Soup from Gluten free on a Shoestring – I would love a bowl of this!!
- Gluten free Banana Bread Doughnuts from The Baking Beauties – The icing she chose sounds just perfect with these!
- Dairy-free Instant Frozen Berry Yogurt from Sarah Bakes Gluten free Treats – This looks so cool and refreshing, yet easy to make!
- Spinach and Artichoke Dip Parmesan Cups from Diethood– I love this combo and can't wait to try making these! The Parmesan Cups are amazing!
5 favorite things I bought this month:
- This super cute shirt that I'd been wanting for a while that says "Shopping is My Cardio". I bought it from Sassy Steals, and while it isn't available on there now, they have a ton of other cute stuff. This was my first order with them, but won't be my last!
- My hubby is in a book club where they are reading through a different C.S. Lewis book each month, so I bought him The Complete C. S. Lewis Signature Classics. It is a great way to get 6 of his classic books for a great price.
- My boys, and even my hubby, are huge fans of the video game Minecraft, so I bought this book for my son's birthday and they've all been reading it: Minecraft: Essential Handbook: An Official Mojang Book. They all gave it a thumbs up!
- I stocked up on my favorite gluten-free pizza crusts this month. I buy my crusts from a dedicated gluten-free bakery that is a couple of hours away from me called Cloverstone Bakery. Their products are available in my town at Whole Foods and Rosauers. Their pizza crusts are really good, but they do have dairy and almond flour, so not suitable for those of you with those allergies. I pull out two frozen crusts to make Friday nights be pizza night at our house. I love the ease and the taste/texture of these crusts!
- My kids are crazy about the new Lego Movie minifigures. I bought at least a dozen this month so far to give as presents, party favors and rewards. They LOVED the Lego Movie too! We definitely recommend it! I'm finding them at local stores for about $2.50-$3.00.
5 favorite things I read this month:
- I'm totally in agreement with Gluten Dude's response to a ridiculous article about classroom treats and food allergies.
- As my kids are growing up, and we're long past the stages of diapers, sippy cups and play dates, I really enjoyed reading this article, "Dear Lonely Mom of Older Kids". I could relate to a lot of it already, and can see how applicable this is for me in the coming years.
- Whether you are a blogger, lead a group of some sort, or dare to participate in and read the comments on online newspaper articles, these 10 words that erase most online hate from Jon Acuff and good to remember!
- I enjoyed these 20 pillow talk questions to ask your children when you are putting them to bed at night.
- My hubby and I laughed so hard reading this and looking at the photos!
5 Most viewed recipes on my blog this month:
- Pull-Apart Dinner Rolls
- Peanut Butter Brownies
- Texas Sheet Cake
- Frugal Gluten-free and Dairy-free Snack Bin
- Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole
If you have any favorites from February to share with me, I'd love if you would comment! I'd love to check them out!

Acronis wont make the USB stick (either 16GB/32GB) bootable if it's in NTFS format. It has to be FAT32. If it's NTFS then it says it needs to be FAT32.
As a result, i have to break/split the backup into 4GB sections. This isn't a problem as Acronis will do this perfectly fine.
I tried making them FAT32, making the stick bootable via Acronis & then converting the system to NTFS & putting on the .tib backup file, but the USB then became non-bootable. It seems the ACRONIS Boot Loader wont entertain NTFS.
All this is separate to the fact that the 32GB stick isn't even seen by the laptop boot menu as a kingston stick whereas the 16GB stick is. The 32GB stick seems pretty useless. I've only just bought both of them apparently brand new from eBay.

You're trying to load the flash drive with the actual bootable media AND the backup if I'm reading that correctly.
No. I paid for Acronis, so i'll use it. I'm not about to start throwing my money about or paying for programs & not using them.
Out of interest, have you tried Macrium Reflect?

No. I paid for Acronis, so i'll use it. I'm not about to start throwing my money about or paying for programs & not using them.
Out of interest - could the USB stick be 'bad'? If so, how can i test it?
I mean, i put the Acronis Boot Loader (& just that, nothing else) on the 16GB stick & it boots fine - to the Acronis boot loader, no problems.
I do the same for the 32GB stick & it just wont do a damn thing. There must be a reason as to why.

Global multiphase flowmeter market outpaces all others, study indicates
WAKEFIELD, Mass. — Multiphase flowmeters are the fastest growing flowmeter type, outpacing ultrasonic and other technologies, according to a new study from market research firm Flow Research, Inc.
The study, titled "The World Market for Multiphase Flowmeters," found the multiphase flowmeter market totaled $240.0 million in 2011. The market is projected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5 percent through 2016 until it reaches $472.2 million.
RELATED: Turbine flowmeter revenues to increase, study shows
According to Dr. Jesse Yoder, president of Flow Research, the multiphase flowmeter market holds tremendous opportunities for suppliers.
"Although it is one of the most complex applications to address, successful multiphase measurement holds the promise of large benefits for both suppliers and end-users," Yoder said. "Companies are putting money into developing multiphase meters not so much because the meters do the measurement so well, but because the measurement is so valuable. There is a critical need to be able to accurately measure all the fluids that come out of a well. Only a very small percentage of the world's 1,000,000+ wells are equipped with multiphase flowmeters today — despite a 30-year history of multiphase metering — so there is ample room for market expansion."

It's springtime in Newfoundland. Can't you tell?
Some browsers seem to flatten the aspect ratio on this video and I don't know why and I don't have the patience to try and fix it. View it on the YouTube page for accurate playback.
The last time I took a look at the bees through the top entrances, they were nowhere in sight. Normally I can see them inside walking around doing their thing, but this cold wind and snow seems to have driven them deep into the hive, probably protecting the brood from becoming chilled. I don't know how they manage to stay alive. It's possible both colonies could be dead by the time the weather warms up enough for them to forage and feed on their own.
Today is the third day of spring, but I call that false advertising.
UPDATE (March 25/11): I got it wrong. The previous video was the fourth day of spring. And today is the sixth day of spring. We got 40 centimetres of snow today (about 16 inches). It's not very interesting, but I keep documenting our winter weather on the Hives in Snow post so I know what to expect for next year. I'm not sure if this has been an extra long and lousy winter. It might only seem that way because it's our first year of keeping bees and, really, when you add up the actual number of days we've been able to hang out with this bees since we got them 250 days ago, it's been about 1/3 beekeeping and 2/3 waiting for winter to go away. Whether that's a normal winter or not, it's been long enough for me.
12 Responses to "Ah… Spring is in the Air"SKIP TO THE END
I have noticed that over the last little while the bees have not been hanging out in such numbers around the front entrance. I am concerned that their numbers were dwindling but I think you are right Phil. The bees may be keeping further down in teh hive to keep the Brood warm. Unfortunatly I cannot get a warm enough day to take a look to see or add a couple of candy cakes.
I am also seeing some fuzzy bees indicating that the queen is still in there. God luv her.
The sooner it warms up the better I will feel.
The trials and tribulations of a new beekeeper.
I have my two hive bodies, the candy board (with a hole in the centre from top to bottom). Then I have the inner cover turned upside down so the top entrance is pointing up with the hard foam over the top entrance so the bees can get in and out. Then there is fibreglass batting on top of the foam.
If I am seeing bees between the foam and the top part of the inner cover then the bees should have access to the candy board and still maintain their warmth.
I hope….
There is no spring in the air and looking at the winter forecast there is no break in sight. When will this winter end. My leeks are arealy 2 inches up in the pots. I'll never get teh chance top put them in the way this winter is going.
…looking at the winter forecast there is no break in sight.
I know. I see nothing but snow in my little weather forecast box in the side bar. And it looks like mid-April now before things even begin to warm up. We have garden plans, too, but what's the point?
The bees are getting desperate today. I found about 25 in the snow. I put them in my hand and kept breathing on them and 90% came back to life. Then one by one I'd place them in the top entrance.
I came back 30 minutes later (~4:30) and there was another 30 or so that didn;t make it back into the hive. So once again I picked them up and tried it again. This timethere was so many that there was to much life in some of them adn a catter one would get defensive when I tried to pick them up by their wings.
No stings though. Funny thing again is once the go back inside the girls disappear within the depths of the hive. They must be clustering around the brood. I have to ask Rusty about that.
What do you think?
I have taken to listening at the hive entrance, on a still day if you put your ear right up to the entrance you might be able to hear a faint sound like rushing water, if your not sure just rap the hive once with your knuckle this will make them buzz a bit. I haven't opened my hives yet so I used this to check how many I have left. So far I have seven out of a possible ten, one made it through the cold part of the winter but starved (I'm assuming) a few weeks ago, was a small colony from a late swarm, another was probably queenless from what I saw in the fall, still kinda breaks your heart a little :) I hope yours will make it through.
If I can manage to get a few more hives I wouldn't mind letting a couple swarm to get a frew feral bees in the area. It would be nice to see. Don't know if they would be successful overwintering hre in NL but who knows.

The Top 10 Best Sports Logos
Best Sports Logo #6. An Old Logo With Championship History
As the oldest current logo in the NBA, it has given the Chicago Bulls a reputation like none other. When most people think of the Bulls, they think of all the championships Michael Jordan and his supporting cast have won. With an intimidating look and gold reputation, it would be surprising if the team ever changed their logo.
Best Sports Logo #5. A Design That's Physical
Even though they adopted the popular wishbone "C", the Chicago Bear's logo is one that's easily recognizable. Whether on a jersey, hat or helmet, the design marks the physical defence the team has always had. It also represents the unique group of Bears fans out there.
Best Sports Logo #4. A Piece Of Nostalgia That's Canadian
One of sports' oldest and most recognizable logos, the "C" and "H" of the Montreal Canadiens was first used together in 1917. As a common misconception, the "H" does not stand for Habs, instead it means Hockey, as in "Club de Hockey Canadien". According to NHL.com, the first individual to refer to the team as the "Habs" was Tex Rickard, owner of Madison SquareGarden, in 1924. The owner supposedly told a reporter that the "H" on the team's sweater stood for "Habitants".

Consultation meeting will be hosted at Credit Union iPlex auditorium on Oct. 23.
Swift Current is one of eight communities hosting a SaskCulture community consultation regarding how to best to deliver cultural programs and services in light of Saskatchewan's changing demographics.
The meeting for all residents across the Southwest will be hosted on Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. at the Credit Union iPlex auditorium.
Consultations are being held across the province this month to provide input to SaskCulture on how the province's changing demographics are impacting the delivery of cultural programs and services across Saskatchewan.
With a growing First Nations and Métis youth demographic, combined with the ongoing arrival of newcomers to Saskatchewan, there are a series of new opportunities in the cultural sector.
The consultation meetings are collecting input to further explore the impact of the growing diversity in communities around the province to ensure the cultural sector can respond to these changes in an informed manner.
Meetings have already been held in Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Yorkton and Weyburn. The consultation will conclude with meetings in North Battleford (Oct. 17), Regina (Oct. 22), Swift Current (Oct. 23) and Humboldt (Oct. 29).

Report: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Shell Out $16 Million For London Mansion
Brangelina may soon have as many homes as they have children. According to the UK's Sun, newly engaged A-listers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have purchased a mansion in West London — for a cool $16 million. No big deal.
The pricey pad will reportedly be their home while Angelina shoots Maleficent in England. Although shooting in the UK is nothing new for the famous family, they've rented in the past. Last year, they're said to have paid $50,000 a month while Brad shot World War Z. Guess they decided it was time to invest in a more permanent residence!
It's kind of mind-boggling for us to think about how much they paid for a home that they'll spend relatively little time in. If they need someone to housesit, they should give us a call.

A Scenic Outdoor Wedding at Pine Creek Cookhouse from Laura Murray Photography
This wedding makes me want to get married in Colorado! The gorgeous scenery and the outdoorsy decor make this wedding a total standout. Kellie and Jeremy planned a relaxed yet stylish wedding incorporating a beautiful mountain feel. A color palette of coral, peach, magenta, yellow and green set the tone for the day– chosen based on the changing leaf colors that time of year. I especially love their reception decor (held at Pine Creek Cookhouse in Aspen). The table names were printed on wine labels made of Aspen trees, in lieu of cake the couple had an apple crisp dessert and a jam packed welcome bag full of Colorado goodies like a map and water bottle (gotta keep hydrated in the Mile High City!) served as a substitute for favors.

Flagstaff is an old Route 66 railroad town, located in the high plateau of the San Francisco Mountains. The city has the second highest altitude among metropolitan areas, and thus escapes the desert heat associated with much of Arizona. Serving as a gateway for the Grand Canyon National Park, the predominant industry is tourism, supported by motel and restaurant strips. Downtown is clean with a strong Western feel.
Downsides include a fairly undiversified economy, but the area's recent popularity as a Sun Belt alternative has brought new business and Flagstaff has completely reversed its previous negative economic trends. Unfortunately, this growth has brought with it higher living costs. Northern Arizona University adds a college-town flavor, the population is the best educated in the state, and there's an overall youthful spirit.
The area, with its pleasant, healthy climate most seasons has become more of a retirement destination as well. Home prices, while reasonable for the region in general, have risen fast as they have through most of Arizona. The area has reversed some of its prior negatives and represents a good blend of lifestyle features, hence the dramatic jump in rankings. The negatives of growth and cost, however, bear watching.
The highest mountains in Arizona surround Flagstaff. Local vegetation is mainly desert scrub, grasses and small trees, with coniferous forests in the nearby mountains. The landscape is generally attractive but a bit sparse in the immediate city area. The climate is decidedly high-altitude semiarid. Cold nights prevail year-round—at 200+ days per year, Flagstaff drops below freezing more often than any other metropolitan area.
Summers are mild and pleasantly cool with moderate humidity and a considerable diurnal temperature range. Temperatures often rise above 80 degrees and may reach 95 degrees. Winters bring snow cover, clear skies, and below-zero temperatures. Two distinct precipitation seasons occur in winter and late summer. First freeze is late September, last is mid-June.
As of 2014, Flagstaff (zip 86004)'s population is 38,731 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 9.02 percent.
The median home cost in Flagstaff (zip 86004) is $234,200. Home appreciation the last year has been 8.60 percent.
Compared to the rest of the country, Flagstaff (zip 86004)'s cost of living is 13.20% Higher than the U.S. average.
Flagstaff (zip 86004) public schools spend $10,843 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $12,435. There are about 17.7 students per teacher in Flagstaff (zip 86004).
The unemployment rate in Flagstaff (zip 86004) is 4.60 percent(U.S. avg. is 6.30%). Recent job growth is Positive. Flagstaff (zip 86004) jobs have Increased by 1.86 percent.

CollegeHumor sums up every tech commercial you've ever seen in one neat video
If you think about it, every advert for a phone, website, gadget or other kind of electronic doo-hickey abides by the same basic rules. At least the ones originated in the US.
CollegeHumor has noticed this and created its own stock, standard tech advert and has a giggle with the format. The sad thing is, it's so very, very true.
In it you can make out Samsung, Apple, Google and Nokia ads all in one. Admittedly, that might be a bit harsh, but hey, this is CollegeHumor we're talking about.

Eddie Van Halen
Eddie Van Halen was born on January 26, 1955, in Amsterdam. When Eddie was 7, his family moved to the United States and settled in Pasadena, California. When they were young, both Eddie and his brother Alex played the piano. Young Eddie was quite an accomplished piano player, winning several talent shows. Both brothers, however, found the piano to be boring and took up different instruments. Initially Alex took up guitar and Eddie took up the drums. When Eddie heard his brother play the drum solo to the Safari's song "Wipeout", he realized that his brother was a better drummer than he, and the two switched instruments.
After taking up the guitar, Eddie would wear the instrument around the house and practice nearly constantly. By the age of 14, Eddie had learned to play his own interpretation of all the solos that Eric Clapton played with Cream. In an interview with Guitar World, Eddie explained his practice ethic during his teenaged years, "I used to sit on the edge of my bed with a six-pack of Schlitz Malt talls. My brother would go out at 7 p.m. to party and get laid, and when he'd come back at 3 a.m., I would still be sitting in the same place, playing guitar. I did that for years — I still do that."
In 1972, Eddie and his brother formed a band with bassist Mark Stone. The trio was originally unaware of the band of the same name, and named themselves Genesis. Upon learning of their mistake, they changed the band name to Mammoth. Eddie originally sang lead vocals, renting a PA system from David Lee Roth for $10 a night. Frustrated with singing vocals, and realizing that they could save money by letting Roth join the band, the trio became a four member band. Shortly after Roth joined the band, Michael Anthony replaced Mark Stone on the bass. It was David Lee Roth who thought that the brothers' surname made a cooler sounding name for the band.
Now playing as Van Halen, the group was discovered in 1976 by KISS bass player Gene Simmons at Gazzari's in Hollywood. Gene was impressed with the band, in particular the innovative guitar playing of Eddie and used his own money to help the band record a demo. Gene flew the band to Electric Lady Studios in New York and they recorded "House of Pain" and "Runnin With the Devil". The next year the band was offered a contract with Warner Brothers Records. The first single off of their eponymous debut album was a cover of the Kink's song, "You Really Got Me." The band didn't want that song as their single, but other bands had heard Van Halen's version and were rushing to beat them to the punch.
With Roth on lead vocal duties the band recorded six studio albums, but tensions between Roth and the other members of the band caused Eddie to consider quitting the band. He approached Gene Simmons in 1982 about the possibility of him replacing the departed Ace Frehley in KISS. Gene didn't want to see Van Halen breakup and convinced Eddie to return to the band. The final Roth era album, "1984" featured the hit single "Jump" and another hit "Hot for Teacher", the video for which was also a huge success. The album reached number two on the Billboard charts, behind Michael Jackson's legendary album, "Thriller". Eddie had also contributed guitar work to that album, playing on the track "Beat It".
When David Lee Roth left, he was replaced by Sammy Hagar in 1985. Hagar sang with the band from 1985 to 1999. During this time, more of the bands songs featured Eddie's keyboard playing, which he had displayed so well on the previous hit "Jump". Even on the tracks on which Eddie played guitar, his tone was light and more commercially oriented. The band's sound was so different that fans often refer to this era of the band is often referred to as the Van Hagar years. In 1996, when tensions among the band began to surface again, Hagar left.
After Hagar's departure the band entered a state of flux. Roth briefly rejoined the band to release a greatest hits album, which included two new tracks, "Me Wise Magic" and "Can't Get This Stuff No More" later in 1996. The band quickly discovered that they could still not get along however, and Roth departed once again. After a long audition process the band hired Gary Cherone to replace Roth. The new lineup's first release "Van Halen III", was received poorly and Cherone departed the group on friendly terms. The band went on hiatus until 2004.
The so called "Van Hagar" lineup reunited for a tour between 2005 and 2006, but the band was still not getting along well. Michael Anthony claimed in an interview that tension with Hagar led Eddie to frequently perform drunk. At the end of the infamous final show of the tour in Tucson, Arizona, Eddie lost his temper and violently smashed his guitar onstage.
In 2007 the band announced that David Lee Roth would rejoin the band for a summer tour. The tour was put on hiatus while Eddie did a stint in rehab. The tour finally happened between late 2007 and mid 2008. In the fall of 2008, Van Halen's 15 year old son, Wolfgang, took Anthony's place as the band's bass player. Eddie had this to say in an interview, "Wolfgang breathes life into what we're doing. He brings youthfulness to something that's inherently youthful. He's only been playing bass for three months, but it's spooky. He's locked tight and puts an incredible spin on our shit. The kid is kicking my ass! He's spanking me now, even though I never spanked him. To have my son follow in my footsteps on his own, without me pushing him into it, is the greatest feeling in the world."

YIELD: Makes about 6 1/2 cups
Slice apples. Process enough slices in juicer, skimming and discarding any foam, to measure 4 cups juice, then transfer juice to a pitcher. Process enough carrots, skimming and discarding any foam, to measure 3 1/2 cups juice, then add to pitcher with apple juice. Process ginger, then stir 2 1/2 tablespoons ginger juice into pitcher. Chill until cold, about 2 hours.
Serve over ice, if desired.
Cooks' note: If you don't have a juicer, you can substitute 3 cups nonalcoholic sparkling cider for homemade apple juice (flavor will be sweeter than Granny Smith apple juice). Increase carrot juice to 4 cups and use a good-quality fresh juice (not canned). Juice ginger by finely grating, then forcing pulp through a fine-mesh sieve.

haha, also if your going from a standard phone or an iphone or switching from an iphone to a different device then you have to reset your voicemail because they have different voicemail boxes, thats due to Apple lol! Also if you want to do some research you will see that At&t is PROTECTING its customers. There are groups of fraudulent people who call cellphones and then simply hit the star key and have access to insecure mailboxes. I dont know about you but I have some sensitive information in my voicemail box and I dont want a stranger to have access to it.
