Sundays in the summer, Andrew Cote likes to hive hop, collecting honey. Sometimes he takes the subway from his apartment on the Lower East Side, his smoker and his bag of hive tools banging against his thigh as he walks. But mostly he drives a white Toyota Tundra pickup abuzz with bees hovering over the truck bed, where their honey has been stashed. They will travel with the truck for hours, from one borough to another, seeking to reclaim what is theirs in a scene out of an urban Winnie-the-Pooh.
Andrew curses his way through traffic, flips one-handed through a giant ring for keys to the next rooftop hive building, and parks wherever he can find a space.
Much of city beekeeping is vertical work. Up a narrow stairway in the dingy darkness, carrying tools to hives on a roof in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. Down six flights of stairs from rooftop hives on a different building on Second Avenue, balancing heavy, oozing frames of honey.
Back outside, truck full of honey, when someone pauses and stares at the buzzing bees still lingering above the truck, Andrew says, "We're out of here," and guns the motor. When a cruiser slows down and a cop yells out the window, "Is that honey?" Andrew cheerfully calls, "Legal since April 2010! Want to try?"
While hobbyist beekeepers usually maintain just a hive or two, Andrew practices a particularly muscular brand of urban beekeeping, managing forty hives on rooftops, terraces, and balconies, and in yards and gardens in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. A fourth-generation beekeeper, Andrew is a kind of honey lord with a petty honey fiefdom, supervising a network of hundreds of novices he has taught and mentored in the city. He sells boxlike hives he makes himself, along with packages of bees as starter kits. At the New York City Beekeepers Association that he helped launch, he presides over monthly meetings, which routinely draw the illuminati of the beekeeping world--great beekeepers, authors of books on honey, artists focused on bees.
To hear Andrew tell it, honey-making is a hustle. It's nothing like producing wine or cheese, where you mix careful quantities of ingredients together, monitor temperatures and chemical processes, and tend a thing while it becomes something else. In beekeeping, your job is observation, fraud, and theft. You set up conditions (a good clean hive, water, a supply of nearby flowers) so the bees feel equipped to plan for the future. Sooner or later, your bees will fly forth and suck nectar from flowers, spit in enzymes that thicken and preserve it, and construct cells of wax in which to store it as food for the long winter. Driven by instinct that looks like artisanal zeal, they will use their tiny wings as fans to cool the wax in summer and warm it in fall. Many die. You, on the other hand, just pry open the lid of the hive, which the bees, perhaps foreseeing such crimes, have sealed shut with a sappy glue they extract from plants. You knock out the bees with a dose of smoke and seize their waxen provisions. And then you're out, with nary a sting. You've got honey.
Of course, Andrew will tell you that in cities, beekeeping is more complicated. You've got to find a place to install a hive--perhaps some unused roof or flower-filled community garden--and lobby co-op boards and garden members to approve. You've got to make arrangements for access at least once every few weeks. You've got to carry around heavy protective clothing to keep from getting stung--many times--as a single bee stinging emits a scent that alerts other bees to join the attack.
In a crowded city, you have to work especially hard to prevent a swarm, a hive reproduction technique whereby half the bees in a colony fly off to find a new home and cluster for hours or maybe days in some tree--or, in the case of New York, one of many treelike structures, such as a traffic light or a street sign in front of the Bulgari jewelry store on Fifth Avenue. It looks like the stuff of horror films: a ball of 30,000 bees flying through the air making a noise like a buzz saw, Andrew will say. People get scared. Nearby businesses can't operate, and crowds gather to stare. A beekeeper can head this off by dividing the hive in two when it's particularly populous and active--but the timing has to be right. In case of error, Andrew and other experienced beekeepers set up a swarm hotline where anyone can leave a voice message that gets sent as a text alert to phones including Andrew's. He will grab his beekeeping gear and rush over. Like a hooded superhero on a utility ladder, he will trap the swarm and spirit the bees away to a new hive.
New York City outlawed beekeeping in 1999, and for a decade afterward, a clandestine apiarist culture survived despite the risk of a $2,000 fine for an illicit hive. People put up screens and walls and grew foliage to hide the hives in their gardens. On rooftops, they painted hives gray to look like air conditioning units, or red, like chimneys. After removing frames of honey, they wrapped them in garbage bags and sealed them with duct tape before carrying them, quietly buzzing, into public view. They hosted underground honey tastings and sold their wares in boutique groceries. At most, there were a few dozen beekeepers in the city, and the hobby seemed to attract lone eccentrics, such as a Brooklyn drag performer who sold honey under his female alias, and a man in the Bronx who lived in a rectory and had learned beekeeping from a Trappist monk. Finally when beekeeping became legal again in 2010, new beekeepers emerged in force.
Often they're in it for the honey. City honey is an edible record of available nectar in the urban landscape, and a discerning palate can see and taste the distinctive flavors of different neighborhoods. A complex and nuanced South Bronx honey comes from bees feasting on flora at the nearby botanical garden. A Manhattan East Village honey, pale with a minty taste from bees working the linden trees, has hints of apple, peach, and rose, from the many community gardens. A Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, honey is heavy from the Echinacea flowers of a local garden and from Prospect Park itself. In some neighborhoods, the honey is so sweet, it's overwhelming: sharp, almost acid. In others, it is light, high, citrusy, and tangy. Elsewhere it's musky and indistinct--or nutty, spicy, with a bitter aftertaste. Hives near one another generally produce similarly flavored honeys, so that if you were to map a particular city's honey flavors, you would see gradually shifting regions determined by prominent nearby flowers. It's even easier to track the changing flavors of honey throughout the season as various flowers bloom and fade. Early honey, from clover and the spring-flowering trees, is light in color and flavor, and the later stuff from goldenrod in the fall has a deep hue with a heavy taste.
Some newer beekeepers have been moved to the hobby by tales of colony collapse disorder, the name for a phenomenon in which whole colonies of bees disappear. The cause has not yet been fully determined, but studies point toward systemic pesticides. Farmers and commercial beekeepers, whose bees pollinate agricultural crops, began to talk about a dearth of pollinators to produce fruits and vegetables across the country. Urban bees were less affected, and some city people began to tend their own hive in hopes that they could somehow bolster the species. A sense of crisis in beekeeping peaked just as New York City legalized the practice. Interest soared.
Urban beekeepers all over the country do what Andrew does: They are swarm wranglers, bee dealers, hive inspectors, club leaders, beekeeping teachers, honey sellers. But most major cities that allow beekeeping have a long-standing institution with a stable community to manage problems. In Chicago, a nonprofit cooperative contracts with City Hall to manage the hives on its roof. In San Francisco and Seattle, volunteer organizations have collected swarms for decades. But in New York, all this is new, and Andrew Cote is often the one to educate, mediate, and trap wayward bees. The recent legalization of urban beekeeping unleashed a wave of pent‑up interest from aspiring beekeepers, fans of bees, and the media. These days, Andrew often works with a pack of acolytes in tow, a microphone clipped to his T‑shirt and a lens trained on his face.
Andrew's own group for hobbyist beekeepers, the New York City Beekeepers Association, grew to 300 active members in just a few years following legalization. He alone trained 320 people in beekeeping in two years, while a competing beekeeping meet‑up group trained another 400. Perhaps New York has become the city with the most interest in urban beekeeping in the history of beekeeping in American cities. But bees are wild creatures that cannot be tamed, and that can create unforeseen problems--interpersonal problems that require diplomacy not generally associated with keepers of honeybees. Problems that are, so to speak, sticky.
At thirty-nine years old, Andrew is fit, strong, and tightly strung. He's classically handsome enough that a modeling scout signed him up while he was working at his market honey stand, and he ended up starring in a Goldman Sachs ad. He has a flirtatious sparkle in his eye, a quick grin, a quicker wit, a handy touch, a low tolerance for error, and moods that shift as quickly and totally as a sudden storm. He has worked as a community college professor of English but also spent time in Iraq. He doesn't like to talk about what he did there, but he came back in 2006 with post-traumatic stress disorder and Monday-afternoon appointments with a shrink. Now he seems to lack the self-corrective feature that makes human interaction bearable. He can be incredibly dedicated: When a bus hit his cargo van last spring while he was delivering bees, the bloodied Andrew, covered in broken glass and lying on a gurney by an ambulance, phoned other beekeepers to come pick up their packages. Yet he also punches people when he's mad. He tears up when he's sad. He writes vengeful emails to strangers. Fellow beekeeper David Selig says, "He's like an angry bee."
One late-summer day in 2009, David Selig--shirtless, barefoot, hot--stepped out onto the deck off his bedroom, climbed a utility ladder up to the roof, coffee mug in hand, and tiptoed across the scalding silver surface to visit his bees. He had already collected early honey from two hives he had installed on his roof in the spring: It had been a pale tawny color, strained of all flavor but a newborn sweetness, like the first clover blossoms. But now, as he settled with his coffee, squatting near the entrance of the hive, he noticed something strange. The foragers flying back from gathering nectar were glowing in the late-afternoon light, incandescent, as though lit up by an internal red bulb.
Something unusual had clearly affected his bees. David is a calm person: He's thoughtful, low-voiced, he is not rash. He finished his coffee, noting the disconcerting beauty of his red bees in the sun, like living, moving warning lights. Then he stepped back down the ladder and went inside to Google "red bees." The search turned up nothing much--Red Bee comics, Red Bee crafts, Red Bee Media. When he went back to the roof to check the hives, the bees no longer looked red, the honeycomb seemed fine, and he chose to assume that whatever had been amiss, had passed.
David was in love with honey. Not just the sweetness, but the way it connects you with the place where you are, since bees, collecting nectar and pollen from flowers, skim what they need from any environment and transform it into something you can taste. When he traveled to Syria, Turkey, and Jamaica, he would taste the honey, seek out beekeepers, and find that often, through their bees, they noticed changes in botany and climate, industry and agriculture, that others did not. "I enjoy observing nature," David would say when he got stung and his skin swelled and reddened with a rush of blood. Bees had first fascinated him when he was a child helping to keep them during summers at his grandparents' farm in Ontario, Canada. More recently, David, a restaurateur with chains of successful eateries, had opened a kind of honey bar for wholesalers where people could sample single-varietal honeys on wooden blocks, such as wild lavender honey from Provence, fragrant and incredibly light and dry on the tongue. Ultimately, he sold the place after it was featured in a magazine and he was flooded with hundreds of orders a day. "Honey doesn't pour quickly," he said. "We just couldn't even keep up with orders."
When he finally decided to buy his own house with his girlfriend, it seemed natural to ask Andrew Cote to provide materials for two white wood-frame hives for David to install on the rooftop.
David didn't see a red bee again until the next year, during his second summer in the house, when day after day the thermometer edged over 90 degrees. Beekeeping had just become legal, and others with new hives in the neighborhood were worried about the heat. David's girlfriend, Cecilia Dean, a fashion muse and editor of an avant-garde magazine, parked herself under the ceiling fan, the dog, Mott, lolled with his tongue out, the two cats barely moved, and David went to check on his charges on the roof. He stepped through the threshold of Cecilia's museum-like walk‑in closet--packed with vintage Helmut Lang and Martin Margiela suits, custom-made gifts from Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs, spiky stilettos from Nicholas Kirkwood and thigh-high boots from Balenciaga--and onto the deck. He climbed the ladder to the roof, and as he sat with his soy latte to enjoy watching the bees, he noticed that they were again glowing red.
He jammed scraps of wood and twine for burning into his beekeeper's smoker, a metal device like a bellows that breathes a cool, pleasant-smelling smoke that has a calming effect on bees. Then he banged away at the propolis, the sticky substance the bees use to close up the hive. He pried off the lid with a flat-headed tool, directed the smoke toward the bees within, and pulled out a frame from inside. Reassuringly, it was heaving with honey. But the substance looked unusually dark. And when he held it up to the morning sun, he saw that the honey was an untrue, electric shade somewhere between fuchsia and scarlet. He pulled out frame after frame of the second hive, only to find the same. And there were his bees, flying back to their hives, bright red lights themselves, to efficiently deposit the neon nectars of their labors, leaving blazing droplets like so many scattered pomegranate seeds on the white wood.
"Then you freak out," David said.

This hostel was unclean and the front desk attendants had no clue what they were doing and were very rude. They over charged me and when I went to talk to management, they were never present. The attendants always had excuses as to why I could not personally speak to management and were very poor messengers. When I tried to take matters into my own hands and e mail the manager, he never responded. Overall the staff was very unprofessional and I was completely unhappy with my stay.

Shawn Bradley, from Maverick to world's tallest cowboy
May 26, 2011, 5:44 PM EDT
Shaun Bradley is a unique player in NBA history.
At 7'6" he was one of the tallest players the league has ever seen, at 235 pounds (officially) he was one of the skinniest. He was the No. 2 overall pick (behind Chris Webber) but never developed into what scouts had hoped, though he was not as bad as some remember. As you might expect he racked up a lot of blocks (2,119) during his dozen years in the league, and he pitched in an average of 8.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. He was in the end an average to slightly above average center at his peak but an attraction everywhere he went.
He spent the last eight-and-a-half years of his career in Dallas, so the college hoops site Lost Lettermen caught up with him to talk about his feelings about seeing his old team in the finals.
But what was caught our eye was what Bradley is doing now, living in Salt Lake City (he went to BYU).
For starters, he's a part-time cowboy as the owner of a ranch with 350 cattle on it. Of course, it's not easy finding a horse that can carry one of the tallest players in NBA history.
"Bless the horse's heart, the biggest challenge is finding a saddle that'll fit and I had a guy help me make a saddle," Bradley said. "So we've got a saddle and a 16-hand horse is the smallest I can even consider."
If asked, cowboy may have been the last thing I would have guessed. Right after circus clown and entomologist. But there you go.
Read the piece, Bradley is donating time to charity and has political aspirations. They probably both take up more time than being a cowboy in his life.
But if you can stop trying to picture Bradley on a horse, you are a better man than I — I'm still stuck on that image.

I love how the picture is of Bradley getting dunked on. I think that may have happened more times than he blocked the shot.

The guy was a dominant force in the old NBA Live games. He could block anything.

From the article: 8 Must-See Cities in the USA
Every city has its architectural wonders, from historic monuments to soaring new skyscrapers. Out of all the cities in the United States, which has the most to explore? What works of architecture make your favorite city special? Why we should go there?
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- There are precious few cities in this country where one can walk an entire day enjoying block after block of architecturally relevant buildings – be it of historic or design relevance . Three come to mind, two of them are on this list, but Philadelphia (the third) is not. Neither of the other two cities have well preserved street-scapes from the 20th, 19th, and 18th centuries, but Philadelphia does. Architecture in Philadelphia is not just about the beauty of the Frank Furness library at U of Penn or the Academy for the Arts, and neither is it the monumental-impression of city hall along with the Baroque grand manner of the parkway. The city has its masterpieces. Rather it's more about how the modern scales with the historic in Northern Liberties, and why a walk along Delancy in Society Hill (brick) or in Rittenhouse (brown stone), is so darn lovely.
- —Guest Tom
Viva Las Vegas
- Specifically, "The Strip." It has the most diverse group of buildings in a 4.2 mile stretch of road of possibly anywhere in the world. There is the Venetian which is a distortation of the architecture of Venice. All of the theme hotels next to the ultra modern City Center. Then there is the one of a kind "glitter gulch." Then there are buildings like the Bellagio, the Wynn, the Palazzo, and Treasure Island the are designed to mask that they are 40+ story buildings by cleverly designed windows. I think that Las Vegas has some of the most interesting architecture in the world.
- —Guest Wes Cook
Providence, RI
- Have you ever been to Providence, my fellow minions?
- —Guest Millcatedral
- Next to Chicago, Buffalo has the best architecture in the US, hands down. Buffalo used to be per capita the wealthiest city not only in the US, but the world. That allowed the best architects and designers to build incredible buildings and infrastructure for decades in Buffalo. People who visit Buffalo are always surprised.
- —Guest Peter
- Hands down it's Chicago. The most architecturally significant city in the USA
- —Guest Sandra
Seattle, of course!
- Seattle, Washington, for its Seatttle Needle with revolving restaurant high up in the air (built as a landmark for the 1959 World Fair) and the Experience Music Pavillion (EMP) by Frank Gehry (I have BW pictures of it while it was being erected in 2000-2001) and its endearing vernacular coastal architecture.
- —Guest Rey Luminarias
New York City
- From Colonial to cutting-edge contemporary design, plus everything in between, New York has it all.
- —Guest William Young
Savannah, GA
- Has a wonderful array of Architecture all within walking distance between beautiful parks.
- —Guest JF
Buffalo will blow you away
- There are only two cities in the United States with buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan and H.H. Richardson and a parks system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted: Chicago and Buffalo. Visit Buffalo, the city The New York Times called "home to some of the greatest American architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries." If you're an architecture fan, you will be blown away. Find out more at www.wrightnowinbuffalo.com
- —EdHealy
Maybe not the best, but a find
- Hartford, Connecticut has a surprising range of 4 centuries of architecture (if you count tombstones). Just a walk on Main Street starting at the Butler McCook Historical house (all original items inside, preserved and documented by the last McCook). From the 19th century State House to insurance company and department store architecture to some awful examples of how not to create a plaza that is welcoming, a few blocks say a million words.
- —Guest rosemary
- I think that Chicago is tops! We took the architectural tour and were amazed at the beauty that we saw outside and inside of the old buildings, plus the new beautiful waterfront.
- —Guest carol Maharry
San Francisco
- A great place to visit for Victorian detailing found in many neighborhoods and the paint palettes that are used to dramatize those details.
- —Guest Barry Samet
Best American City for Architecture
- Colombus, Indiana. No where else in the world can you experience so many award-winning architects in such close proximity. A town of only 40,000 people, it boasts the work of I.M. Pei, Eero Saarinen, Eliel Saarinen, Richard Meier, Robert A M Stern, Gwathmey Siegel, Cesar Pelli, and many more. It is a small-town architectural mecca -- the only one of its kind in America.
- —Guest Sheri Fahy
Check Out Madison, WI
- Madson has many wonderful buildings, including 9 Wright homes and commercial structures, plus buildings by Sullivan, Maher, Claude & Starck, plus modern structures by Skidmore Owings & Merrill, all on a mile wide isthmus.
- —Guest Sheridan Glen

Daughter obsessed with my breasts.
This has me cracking up because my 6yo is the same way! She also has a lot of questions about how I am going to feed the baby with them and how she ate when she was a baby. I have been pretty strict with her and the touching. I just go over privacy and respect with her. She will still sneak a little feel if she is sitting on my lap or something though. I think it is just innocent curiosity.
Mother To Little Monsters
Luna Violet & Logan Keith
It's inappropriate but she doesn't know that yet. It's a good age to teach her about personal boundaries and talk to her about breastfeeding. She needs to learn that these things are really natural and her curiousity is completely fine but there can't be any touching in my opinion.
I talked to my 9 year old son about breastfeeding the other day, he doesn't have any touching issues but I am preparing him because he'll see that I'll be breastfeeding (covered up) and will wonder what the heck is going on. It went really well!! He wasn't disgusted and was quite interested and thought that it was pretty cool we get milk for free for baby and that it helps her grow.
Be really honest with her! She will be able to handle it, she's at that age where you can't keep everything from her and it's healthy to teach her about the human body, especially her own. With a no touching policy to keep respect though.

This is too funny - my 2 year old is obsessed with my breasts! She says "boobie" and grabs me. But I honestly think it's a comfort thing for her - she is a very snuggly girls and she likes to hug and grab me - so the boobs are just something to hold onto. Ha ha. I tell her I don't like that, but she basically gropes whenever she can.
I think it is going to be tough when her baby brother arrives and I am breastfeeding. But I guess she will learn then that breasts have a purpose and that is to feed babies (not be grabbed by toddlers!)
My 3 yr old is like this too. I really thought it was just her. She would say boobies and grab them. And I'm not large on top at all but for a 3 yr I am. She'll ask me why my boobies are big and she would say she wants some too. I had to explain to her that once she gets older hers will get bigger too. And that it is not ok to touch. I didn't breastfeed much, I try but didn't work out. But she saw her auntie breastfeed her cousins and I think that's where it all started.

Simon Calder: Selling the dream – but not the reality
The man who pays his way
Simon Calder
Simon Calder's career in travel started at Gatwick Airport, where he cleaned aircraft for Laker Airways and later worked as a security officer. He became The Independent's Travel Correspondent in 1994, and is known as "the Man Who Pays His Way" because he does not accept free travel facilities. He writes across the Independent titles, as well as for the Evening Standard.
Friday 08 March 2013
Two conflicting views of flying: a plane is a plane; and "If it ain't a Boeing, I'm not going". The first opinion belongs to those who regard aviation as a necessary chore to be endured en route to somewhere delicious. They could not care two inflight pretzels whether they board an Airbus A320 or a Boeing 737 for a short-haul flight, or an A330 or a 767 for a longer stretch. They just want to arrive alive and on time. True, at the XL end of the aircraft spectrum, you might notice the distinctive double-deckerness of the original Jumbo (747) and the so-called Super Jumbo (A380). But since Concorde stopped flying 10 years ago, most jets look and perform the same.
The second attitude prevails most strongly on pick-up truck bumpers in the Seattle area of the north-west USA, where for decades Boeing has built some of the world's greatest aircraft. The saying arose from the manufacturer's formidable reputation for safety and reliability. "Refuse Toulouse" was another slogan aimed at Airbus, which is based in the French city.
Today, when there are just two manufacturers of full-size jets, I can't imagine any frequent flyer lives by the rule. Airbus has an equally robust attitude to safety. Besides, the airline that sells you the ticket can despatch you on whatever, and whoever's, plane it likes.
Buy British Airways, fly Ryanair: that was the what some passengers found during the cabin-crew strikes three years ago. BA chartered in capacity from rival carriers, including the Irish airline, to fill some of the gaps in its schedule. On this occasion the Ryanair jets were "wet-leased", ie BA hired the planes complete with crew. A "dry lease" is where you rent only the aircraft. And a "damp lease": plane and pilots, but no cabin crew.
When easyJet has run short of equipment, I have found myself aboard the ad-hoc charters of Titan Airways (though they wouldn't let any of us sit in the posh seats at the front). Last summer, many Monarch passengers found themselves aboard a jet wet-leased from Aurela Airlines, based in a former Soviet Baltic republic. Even though the Civil Aviation Authority was content with safety standards, not everyone was happy to be flying on a jet from Lithuania.
For many Thomson Airways passengers, the problem is not Lithuania, but lithium. Thomson is the launch customer for the Boeing 787 "Dreamliner", and has scheduled it to fly transatlantic from East Midlands, Gatwick, Glasgow or Manchester, starting 1 May. But the metal used in the batteries that provide essential power for the systems of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner has not proved as stable as the makers expected. After two scares involving the lithium-ion devices catching fire, the plane was grounded in mid-January.
So far, there is no indication about when the aircraft may be allowed to carry passengers once more, nor what needs to be done to eliminate the problem. While engineers and officials frown and fret, no Dreamliners can be delivered. So about 30,000 passengers booked with Thomson Airways in May or June to Florida and Mexico won't be going. Well, they will, but not on a Boeing 787.
If you had set your heart on the Dreamliner, all you can do now is dream the impossible dream.
Boeing, Boeing gone
The Dreamliner is the first plane properly to put the passenger first. Refinements such as higher pressurisation make long flights more bearable. It is more fuel efficient, and makes new routes viable, such as Gatwick to Phuket in Thailand (from November, safety officials permitting). Thomson, naturally, sought to extract maximum value as the first UK airline with the 787:
"If you could design your own dream plane, what would you come up with? Comfier seats? Supersized windows? Whatever tops your wish list, the end result would probably look a lot like the Thomson 787 Dreamliner."
Now that the dream is over for thousands of passengers, Thomson says: "We fully understand how very disappointing this is for our customers, and hope they will appreciate these circumstances are completely outside of our control." Fair enough. But the aftermath is completely within Thomson's control. The firm is hanging on to the cash (except for handing back the £10 per flight Dreamliner premium), and rebooking passengers on a dull old Boeing 767. Disappointed passengers who booked only because they wanted to be first to fly on the new plane in British colours are allowed to switch to an alternative holiday, but refunds are refused.
Catch the Airbus
An hour after Thomson's cancellation of its 787 programme in May and June, British Airways started selling its first Airbus A380 tickets. BA finally joins the Super Jumbo club this year. You can book to fly the world's biggest passenger jet from Heathrow to Los Angeles at 4.15pm on 15 October. Could BA also risk upsetting passengers? No. All it is saying is: book flight BA269 to Los Angeles from 15 October onwards, and you can expect to fly on the A380. But you will not be the first; BA will fly the jet well before 15 October – but makes no promises about when or where.

In Flash Professional CS5 Essential Training, author Todd Perkins explains the fundamentals of Flash Professional CS5, the industry standard for creating animations and interactive applications for the web, desktop, and mobile devices. This course starts with the basics, such as using the drawing tools to create simple animations, and progresses to automating animation with tweens and adding interactivity with ActionScript. This course also covers how to add sound and video to projects, enhance realism with effects like easing, and publish a project to a variety of platforms. Exercise files are included.
Let's say you imported a bitmap image into Flash and then you made a change to that image outside of Flash and you wanted that update reflected in Flash. Let's take a look at how that works. In the Library, I have this file called flower.jpg and we see the flower on the Stage. If I go over to Photoshop, and let's say I made this image black and white. So I can go to Image > Adjustments > Black & White. I'm just going to use the default settings. Then I'll save the file.
Note that I'm saving over the original file. So, if you're going to do this, just make sure you save a copy of the original somewhere else. So I'll save the file. I'm not worried about the settings for this example, so I'm just going to click OK to accept the default settings. Then I'll tab back over to Flash. So the original file has been updated, but Flash is still showing the color version. To update the file, I'm going to right -click flower.jpg in the Library, and then select Update. Here, there is a list of my Library items.
I can select which ones I want to update. Since I only have one and the box is checked, all I need to do is click Update to update the file. You can see that the flower on the Stage is updated. If I click the Close button, then the flower in the Library is updated as well. So using this Update option, you can edit images outside of Flash and provided they're in the same location that they were when you imported them into Flash, you can update the changes quickly and easily by right-clicking and choosing Update.

'Catholic unity… not politics'
N.J. Knights of Columbus State Convention
Wildwood, New Jersey
Saturday, May 14, 2005
Keynote speech by Raymond L. Flynn
"Catholic unity… not politics"
This past week, I was interviewed on NBC national news regarding a Saturday New York Times front page story entitled, "Vatican is said to force Jesuit off Magazine. Officials cite concerns over critical articles about church in the media". While the action taken by the Vatican drew a lot of the criticism by many toward the church hierarchy the controversy is certainly not new. Open criticism and dissent by Catholic clergy in the media against the church and its teachings has been going on for a long time. While dissent is quite normal in politics and a healthy thing in a democratic society, I don't believe it helps provide the unity that is critical which our Catholic Church needs today. Declining church enrollment was raised in the media as an example of a dysfunctional Catholic church.
They used this recent crackdown by the Vatican against some in the Catholic press as a reason why Catholics have been staying home for years. Certainly church attendance figures bear this out, but a careful review of attendance figures demonstrated that church attendance was higher when Catholic unity was present. Church attendance began to drop off when Catholic doctrinal values were ignored by clergy and kicked around in the media. Even certain secular journalists now think that they have every right to try and change Catholic teaching though intimidation and ridicule. Maybe if the media started reporting the news once again, instead of trying to make it, people would start reading newspapers once again.
Unfortunately, too many Catholic's have been afraid to stand up to these constant outrageous attacks. If you can't defend the message, attack and diminish the messenger; that's what the strategy has been by the critics and enemies of the Catholic Church. Catholic politicians especially have been afraid to stand up and be counted. They are afraid of the money and media interests and who will certainly come after them politically.
We must understand that it was division, dissent and confusion that drove many Catholics out of the church – not faithful priests and nuns. Now there is not much we can do to change the aggressive, sometimes anti-Catholic secular media culture, but there is something that Benedict XVI can do to reign in runaway theologians who appear regularly in the Catholic press. Make it clear that they don't speak for the Church; they are expressing their own opinion. They are entitled to their own opinion, but not their own truth.
Pope Benedict XVI is attempting to do something that is essential – bring unity within the ranks of Catholics. I'll bet you the more successful Benedict XVI is in achieving this unity; the more traditional young men will want to join the priesthood. "The more you present Christ faithfully, they're going to come", as Archbishop Raymond L. Burke of St. Louis said. Young people want to be part of something meaningful and true. For the good of the church, we must support the new pope's effort to restore Catholic unity.
His appointment of Archbishop William J. Levada of San Francisco to head up the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith sends a clear and important message to Catholics throughout the world. Unity will be a top priority. Archbishop Levada is a priest of enormous courage, compassion and ability. He will be clear in protecting and promoting the church's teachings on faith and morals. I have worked with him over the years in encouraging lay Catholics to get more involved in the civic life of their community. He prayed with us and he marched with us.
Upon my return from the Vatican recently, I participated on a panel sponsored by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life in Washington, D.C., entitled, Pope Benedict XVI and World Affairs. This distinguished group was asked to discuss Pope John Paul II's dramatic global influence and how Benedict XVI will carry forward this legacy of leadership. Specifically, the key question was, "How will the new pope position the Catholic Church as an actor on the world stage, particularly with respect to global issues such as the rise of militant Islam and Europe's dramatic secularism, as well as U.S. foreign policy priorities such as combating terrorism and promoting democracy?" These and other topics provided the audience insight into what other likely challenges the new pope may face.
I had been in Rome before Pope John Paul II died and was there for his funeral, the mourning period, the conclave, and finally the inaugural Mass of Benedict XVI. Most of the media gave Pope John Paul II's death, funeral, and legacy extensive positive and respectful coverage. Those who claim that the legacy of Pope John Paul ...

Ronan Sexton, 31, suffered a serious head injury in the incident, which happened just after 4am on Sunday.
He was admitted to a local hospital but then transferred to Hurstwood Park neurological centre in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, in a critical condition.
Mr Sexton's mother Bernadette - the sister of Mr Neeson - has reportedly been at her son's bedside.
The accident is the latest upset for Mr Neeson whose actress wife, Natasha Richardson, died in March 2009 at the age of 45 from head injuries following a ski accident in Canada.
Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the incident.

Hey wilson, no one is hating, he did a great job and has great skills in the welding and fab work he did. If you post pictures and put up a post of what you did, you are going to get feed back, positive and I'm not going to say negative, but sometimes less than desirable. Now I know that in today's society with all the hugging and telling everyone that even coming in third place makes you a winner crap may make you feel safe at home and help you sleep. But if you're gonna throw it out there and someone calls it ugly....well tough shit. When the girlfriend asks if her shoes look good and they don't, you might say, babe you make any shoe you wear look good. I say, no babe they don't look good. So if feeling were hurt, well tough shit, then don't post it. Great fab work, nice welding, easier and cheaper way to get it done. PI SI LI.

Fresh from his performances at the Las Vegas Science Festival and the Sofia International Science Festival in Bulgaria, Dr Mark Lewney brings his infamous show, 'Rock Guitar in 11 Dimensions" to the Valleys Discovery Festival at the Abertillery Community Theatre on Thursday at 7pm.
Described by the BBC as a "cross between Einstein and Hendrix", Doctor Lewney's 1-hour show explains what causes the revolutionary, history-changing sound of rock guitar, and how it helps us to understand the nature of the stuff we're made of. The physics of rock is explained using riffs from Vivaldi to AC/DC, and suggests that string vibrations might lie at the heart of the Big Questions about the universe.
Lots of thought-provoking stuff, music, comedy and a little bit of magic for teenagers, adults and guitar nerds!

We enjoyed this tour and our tour guide Jorge spoke very good english and his historical knowledge of Santiago was awesome. We only had one glitch and that was our driver got a bit lost after the tour on the way to the restaurant. We finally found the restaurant which was El Apero and they made such a fuss of us when we got there and it fantastic. We enjoyed great Chilean food and a show as well and we all got up and danced on stage. It was the last night of our 3 weeks in South America and a great way to finish the holiday. Their Pisco sours were very good too.

The guide was friendly, she knew much and spoke good english. She was interested in us and had many questions. That was not bad but when she wanted to translate everything to the driver (her hushband) there was to much spanish taking which we did not understand. They could have done the family taking later.
When we arrived to the restautant they did not know that the dinner was pre-paid but that settled out after one phone call.
Please note that the transportation from the restaurant to the hotel is not included.
