A fart that has entered the "chamber" when it first reaches the zone where one can either push it out like a man or hold it in like an absolute wimp. To ChamberPush is to immediately push said fart out the moment it enters the chamber with a reckless disregard for those around you and without a moment's hesitation. There is no thought involved, it is automatic. This is why it must be one word. To put a space between the two words may mislead one to believe there is a millisecond of consideration between the two occurrences. A fart entering the chamber is similar to the trigger of a loaded gun being pulled. There is absolutely no doubt as to what happens next 100% of the time.
Dude...after 3 bean burritos and a nacho grande I could only chamberpush that bad boy out. There was no stopping it!!

Celebrate Youth event hits Rexburg
MADISON COUNTY, Idaho - Local kids are having a blast at this year's free celebrate youth event.
"You get to go rock climbing and go and jump on the jumping castles," said student Bradley Conder.
The event had informational booths, games and fun activities like face painting. 60 local organizations came together for the community. They hope kids like Bryant Conder can go home and learn something new.
"I think it would be talking about the military and air force," said Conder.
There are other educational booths like one that teaches you about mental illness. A topic Madison Cares spends time training parents and teachers about. It's an organization that has been with the Madison County and Sugar-Salem school districts for four years.
"The parents who are saying, 'I don't know what to do with my child,' there are resources out there and we can find help," said a parent educator with Madison Cares, Renee Parkinson.
Madison Cares is a sponsor of the event. They say mental health ties into the celebration because of the activities offered. They can teach kids how to take direction and how to be a team player.
"Taking your turn , standing in line, not budging -- all of these things that you just think are a game really help teach some life lessons," said Parkinson. One parent agrees.
"It's for the health and well-being of your children. Physically and emotionally and mentally, they hit all those senses," said Laura Conder.
The project director for Madison Cares says it's important to show kids a good time before school and how important they are to the community.
The event goes until 9 p.m. Tuesday. It was paid for with money from a federal grant. Madison Cares received the money four years ago.

Safeway Plunges 15% on Revenue Miss
Shares of grocery retailer Safeway (SWY) are suffering today, down 15% after it missed Wall Street estimates for its first-quarter sales:
Investors were hoping for stronger sales and volume trends in the quarter, even though earnings matched analsyts' expectations. Safeway's identical-store sales, excluding fuel, rose 1.5%, falling below the company's previous expectation of 1.8% to 2% growth, as a gain from a calendar shift was offset by customers switching to generic drugs.
Through Wednesday's market close, the stock had risen about 45% over the past three months, receiving a big boost following its better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings report earlier this year.
Safeway said its sales volumes, which recently returned to growth after struggling in the face of heightened competition and a dismal economy, rose 0.5% in the first quarter.
Like its peers, Safeway is grappling with more competition from dollar stores and mass-market retailers like Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) that are expanding their grocery departments, while low consumer confidence is putting more pressure on prices.
As the Journal's story notes, Safeway's stock has risen a lot recently, so a pullback, even one as much as 15%, isn't quite as brutal as it seems -- including today's drop the stock is up 11% in the past 12 months.
Safeway is a consensus Hold among analysts, according to FactSet, with a mean target price of $24.36, which is just 20 cents higher than today's latest trading price.

You think they'll go with another 85% / 13% / 2% snap mix like in the Eagles loss, or get Brown and Wilson into the gameplan?
You think they'll go with another 85% / 13% / 2% snap mix like in the Eagles loss, or get Brown and Wilson into the gameplan?
I think we will slowly start to see Bradshaw getting less of the workload, but doubt we will see him go less than 50%. How the other 50% would break down will depend on how well Brown and Wilson do individually.
I don't know that Wilson is very good in pass protection, but I think we will start to see him getting more of a role in 3rd down passing situations, similar to how Megget was used. He could end up being a major threat in those quick passes coming out of the backfield.
65%/25%/10% seems like an ideal place to start at. 1 snap isn't going to help anyone get more opportunities when the defenses know what you are in there for. By the end of the season, I'd really like to hit the 20%/40%/40% mix
ppl need to realize what situational football means...u cant break down how the carries will look before hand...well i guess u could but what ud really be doing is predicting what situations we'll face % wise.
meaning, if we continually have 3rd and long situations, its tough to get wilson in.
if u have a bunch of 3rd and shorts, wilson/brown would have more situations he could be used in.
the score, how the OL is doing, how the rb's are doing...theres too many variables for someone to break down "bradhsaw-83%, brown-12%. wilson-5%"...at least imho.
if its a close game, i'd expect 44 to play a majority bc of his experience...
i'd love to see Wilson get far more carries
Whether it is injuries, wear or scheme Brown is a better back than Bradshaw is right now. He makes decisive cuts and get N/S real quick. He should be starting and Bradshaw should be spelling him. Bradshaw was best when he was getting 30%-35% of the carries.
Wilson is a ST star and a dud in the offense. Let him focus on returns for now. Give Scott reps when we need a change of pace guy. He has a year in the system and should be ready for a bigger role
Wilson right now is serving his apprenticeship and taking lumps on Special Teams.

Next Generation Learning Challenges Announces Wave III Funding Opportunities to Improve College Readiness and Completion for Adult Learners
Next Generation Learning Challenges (NGLC) is a collaborative, multi-year initiative created to address the barriers to educational innovation. It taps the potential of technology to dramatically improve college readiness and completion in the United States, particularly for low-income young adults, by identifying promising technology solutions. NGLC is led by EDUCAUSE in partnership with the League for Innovation in the Community College, the International Association for K-12 Online Learning (iNACOL), and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). Funding is being provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
Wave III of NGLC funding was launched in October 2011, and focuses on the development of new blended learning models, featuring two separate Requests for Proposals: Wave IIIa: Breakthrough School Models for College Readiness and Wave IIIb: Breakthrough Models for College Completion. The selection process involves two steps: An initial application and a longer, more detailed, full proposal from selected applicants. Initial applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until June 8, 2012. Deadlines for applications are Feb. 9, 2012 and June 8, 2012.
This third wave of NGLC grants will provide support to educators and innovators who have a coherent vision for highly engaging learning pathways that span secondary school through postsecondary completion, and that will prepare students for economic, social, and civic success. NGLC will be seeking approaches that can help all students—but especially low-income students and students of color—develop the skills and knowledge they need to lead successful lives. The initiative will be looking for models that have clear, sustainable expansion or adoption plans.
Interested parties, including adult education applicants, are encouraged to review all of the applicant information for Wave III proposals, including instructions, key timelines and deadlines, and NGLC's intellectual property policy.

Film & Discussion: Investigation of a Flame
A Documentary Portrait of the Catonsville 9
This beautiful, haunting and evocative film by Lynne Sachs is the powerful story of what happened on May 17, 1968 when three priests, a nurse, an artist and four others walked into a Catonsville, MD draft board office. They grabbed hundreds of selective service records and burned them with home-made napalm.
This is an intimate look at this unlikely band-dubbed the Catonsville Nine-who broke the law in a poetic act of civil disobedience. Lynn Sachs explores the Sixties protest with our own difficult times and how we can act to get access to the public imagination (e.g. the Occupy movement). She has combined volatile long-unseen archival footage with a series of informal interviews with Berrigans, Howard Zinn and others. The meditative result encourages viewers to ponder the contemporary relevance of civil disobedience and the implications of personal sacrifice for the greater good. Endorsed by the St. Joseph Father Bill O'Donnell Social Justice Committee and the Ecumenical Peace Institute
Suggested donation $5-$10. No one turned away.
Wheelchair accessible.

We had a nice stay at this apartment. It is very well situated in the centre of Split, with supermarkets, restaurants as well as the harbour and diocletians palace in walking distance. The size and layout of the apartment was great, with lots of light however for proper cooking on a longer stay, we felt the kitchen would have to be better equipped. Also, we would have liked a proper (emptied) closet space. Overall we had a great stay thanks to the location of this apartment!

Nice Apartment, good place to stay, quiet and clean, very nice garden with enough shadow for hot days and enough parking space.
Shower Curtain should be changed.
We recommend this place.
Thank you to the landlord for the Spirali :-)
Our stay was just perfect. Clean and modern apartment, free pariking, very safe & quiet area, air condition, fully equipped kitchen, friendly hosts,... Two beaches - 2 or 5 minutes away which is very convenient if you are travelling with kids. But be sure to bring beach shoes for swimming. 15 min by car to Split. Supermarkets like Lidl 5 min by car. We enjoyed every moment!
Nice and good Place to stay at. Helpful owners. Lovely garden ande near to a fantstic beach.
Everything was perfect, the owners were very kind with us, and everything on the apartment was as it seemed on the photographs. Thank you very much.
We spent a very nice time in Split. The apartment is like in the photos: spacious, has two balconies and it is equipped with everything you need. In the vicinity there are several supermarkets and cafes. In the old town is about 15 minutes by feet. The hosts, Slavica and her father Tiho, were very friendly and helpful. True hospitality. Thank you for everything!

Nous avons passe un excellent sejour a Split. L'appartement est conforme aux photos, confortable et bien equipe, c.etait agreable de profiter de la belle terrasse et, par ces fortes chaleurs, de la double climatisation dans le sejour et la grande chambre ! Le centre historique est a environ 15 mn a pied, nos hotes nous ont fourni un plan pour y acceder facilementt. Nous avions choisi cet appartement pour son bon rapport qualite/prix et n'avons pas ete decues, mais ce que nous avons finalement le plus apprecie, c.est la gentillessr de nos hotes. Tiho, le pere de Slavica, est venu nous chercher tard le soir a la station de bus lors de notre arrivee et nous y a emmenees lors de notre depart, ce qui etait tres appreciable. Durant notre sejour, il s'est montre extremement disponible sans jamais etre "envahissant". Bref, un veritable et sincere sens de l'hospitalite comme on en trouve rarement !
We had a very nice stay. The flat is like in the pictures, comfortable, quiet, and the beautiful terrace is a really good point ! The very performing air conditionner (there is one in the living room and one in the big bedroom) was quite enjoyable by such high temperatures. Split's historic center is about 15 minutes by feet, the hosts gave us a useful map with the path to get there. But what we enjoyed the most, with no hesitation, is the extreme kindness of our hosts. Tiho, Slavica's father, picked us up at the bus station, in the late evening of our arrival, and took us there for our departure, which really helped us out. He always told us that he was available if we needed anything (he lives in the building) : a real and sincere sense of hospitality, but without ever being intruding ! We chose this apartment for the good Quality/price balance, but the true crush happened when we got there.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
So the hygrophila corymbosa predictably dropped the lower leaves, but seems to be doing well....I've even seen new growth at the tops. I also found a couple bonus stems of asian ambulia in the batch of hygro I picked up last week...and it's been growing and showing some GREAT looking pink tips.
The sunset hygro I picked up from Noahma a few weeks back is doing great as well...I've seen some definite growth at the tips and the lower nodes. I had trouble with the base rotting in the past, but had previously tried planting it in an area with a thick MTS layer under the substrate. I instead planted it in an area with no MTS under there...so it's just growing in flourite...that seems to have made a huge difference.
The PAR 38 bulb seems to be working as planned. I moved all of my emersed growth to the center of the tank and leaves are starting to grow toward that light rather than form a canopy just below my 30" fixture. I have a cfl plant bulb that I'm going to mount on the other side of the tank, opposite the par38. I'm hoping I can finally get some nice emersed growth going with light passing across the top of the tank from either side. You can see the par38 mounted on the left of the tank in the pics below. Only a small amount of light spills into the submersed portion of the tank, I'm not sure of the optics on the lenses...but they appear to be no more than 60 degrees...and I'd guess 30 degree optics judging from the spread.
Here are a couple quick pics I grabbed with the phone today.
You can see the CFL bulb mounted below the center brace in this picture, it was placed there because I was getting so much shadowing from the emersed growth in the center of the tank. I think this only further encouraged my sygnonium to grow leggy in that area due to the extra light there. I plan on relocating that bulb to the other side of the tank, opposite the par38 bulb.
Wow...my last FTS was over a year ago!?
Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been without a home computer for some time now...but I just solved that issue today so I should have more regular updates. Also...I've admittedly been a bit distracted by the SW world, as I now also have a couple reefs running at home.
Anyway, the tank has been pretty much on cruise control. I hadn't added many submersed plants since the last FTS was posted, but I've played around with different emersed plants with limited success. The sygnonium is still doing great, although I am getting very tall, "leggy" growth out of it. Since the last pic of the emersed growth, I cut the plant back and now just have 3 planters of sygnonium growing emersed....but they all grow toward the center of my Coralife fixture and seem to be lacking enough light to get bushier growth toward the back wall. I'm not sure if that's just the nature of this plant, or if it's something that can be remedied with more light...but I decided to get a red/blue par 38 bulb that I mounted to the side of the tank, pointing across the back. The light only hits the emersed growth, so I shouldn't have any algae issues...it'll be interesting to see if this makes any difference. My goal is to keep my emersed growth from blocking the light going down into the tank; if the sygnonium doesn't change it's growth pattern I might try either a grassy plant, or just get something that grows much shorter to keep in the planters.
Here are some recent photos, prior to adding the par38 bulb...which just went online today. In the pics below, the only plants added to the tank since the last FTS are the Ranunculus inundatus and the sunset hygrophila. I got some great growth out of my C. parva, which has formed a nice grassy mat in the front of the tank
The one disappointment for me has been my Cryptocoryne balansae...I wanted to fill in the back corners of the tank with it, but it keeps growing 3-4 leaves, sending out a runner, then melting down to a nub. I've been utilizing root tabs, but haven't seen any improvement. I have about 4-5 short plants of 2-3 leaves in each corner, but it just won't grow well for me. Yesterday I picked up some hygrophila corymbosa 'siamensis' from a friends 120 gal. I'm going to give the plant a few weeks to settle in and may prune the lower leaves if they start to drop. He was running CO2 and 300W of metal halide over his tank...so the plants are nice and healthy but are probably getting a bit less light in my tank. I also figure if I wait a month, it should give a more accurate picture of my tank's condition...of course it looks great at this point, but I suspect things will change as the narrow leaf hygro settles in.
I had some difficulty shooting this tank after taking pics of my reefs over the past year, since I don't use a flash for those tanks. I do like the natural feel of the pics posted above, but I did end up with a few dark spots I didn't care for so much...hopefully I can get back into practice.
I also picked up a macro lens, but haven't had the chance to play with it in combination with my flash. I did still manage to get a decent fish shot with the kit lens though...here's my male killi garneri...and a few of my beckfordi pencilfish. They're both tank favorites, and the pencilfish always seem to school wherever the killifish is hanging out.
The current fish list for the tank is:
- 1 male killi gardneri (had a pair but sadly lost the female due to a power outage)
- 8 cardinal tetras
- 8 beckford's pencilfish
- 3 rummynose tetras
- 1 male honey gourami
- 5 panda cories
All the fish have been established in the tank for at least 9 months...aside from the panda cories which were just added over the past week.
|Awesome growth, congrats

Debating putting the glass canopy back on as well...the baby panda bamboo is not liking the dry air here. I will give it some time though to see if it eventually adjusts and starts growing though, as I'd hate to compromise the sygnonium.
|So interesting...any updates?
Oh, and yes I lost my leather fern. In fact I lost all of my emersed growth at one point to an aphid invasion. I did get rid of them, but by that time the damage was done and I lost plants one by one. In the end, the solution to the pests was simple...removing the glass top dropped the humidity and they stopped thriving.
Slowly learning and getting this tank up to par.
I remember you mentioning that before, and had been wanting to do that for a while. I initially held off since I was planning to raise the water level. Once that was done I stuck with the white background for a bit longer; raising the water meant raising the lights, and the background was supplementing the poor reflector in my coralife T5NO fixture...not very well, but enough to support my laziness. Lol
Finally upgraded the lighting today, allowing me to raise the lights above the emersed growth and still get light to the substrate. Just went with the coralife T5HO dual fixture...the reflector actually works and light is hitting the back corners of my tank again.
Figured since my lighting issue is resolved, I should stop being lazy though...so I swapped the background. Here are the before and after shots Excuse the quality...posting and taking pics from my phone these days :/
I'm contemplating also running the black background on the lower portion of the right glass. The left glass will have to remain all white, as the outside of that end if the tank is visible from the doorway. It would just look awkward having a trash bag hanging from my tank...in case you were wondering what u used for a background. I also plan on adding a planter to the right glass toward the foreground. Since that area will have more emersed growth, I think the black background on that side would be appropriate, as it would represent the "riverbank"...the left side of the tank could remain open and represent the open water. At least that's what I see in my mind...hope it makes sense and I can bring it all together.
That's looking good. You got some nice new fish in there.
Those two plants over on the right of the video (the pink one and the other one with similar leaves) are Syngonium varieties. Those can be nice for adding color. They usually root pretty well too.
Did that leather fern flake out on you? That is usually such an easy plant. I saw that you had started with one from one of those previous posts.
Nice job growing that Pandanus. As that plant grows up bigger you'll start seeing the prop roots too.
If you can apply a black background to that tank those planters will just disappear.
Definitely due for an update here...
I still need to update the first post, and upload some pics of the progress over the past several months, but here is a vid for now. Actually took this for hydrophyte, but figured it'd be a worthy addition to the thread.

One trick that is really helpful for riparium setups is to cover the aquarium rear panel for at least the underwater part with a black background. This will hide the riparium planters and as the plants grow in they will almost disappear from view. I like to use black latex paint because it's pretty cheap and it comes off again real easy. Paint doesn't stick to glass very well, so it's important to carefully clean with Windex or something like that to remove all of the dirt and finger smudges.
|Sorry to hear about your female. so far, the one I got from you is doing great, they are never more than 4-6" apart from each other.
I wouldn't worry much...I think my male is just overly aggressive.
The 55g has a bigger footprint too...and if you're tank is pretty well established and heavily planted, it should keep them comfy and out of sight of each other if one decides to be "assertive".
I figured my tank broke up line of sight enough for them, but it definitely wasn't the case. Once things fill in some more, I'll probably end up giving it another go. I honestly probably should've waited to begin with...live and learn I suppose.
Sad to hear about the female GBR. I was planning to get a pair for my 55G tank too, and now I'm more scared than before.
Oh the ups and downs of fishkeeping...
Although the female laid eggs, it was a pretty unsuccessful spawn for multiple reasons. For one...at about the 36 hr mark it was pretty apparent that the vast majority of the eggs weren't fertilized. There were a couple "maybes" in the group, but it wasn't promising at all.
By Day 2 of the spawn, the male's aggressive temperament toward the female escalated quite a bit. He went from guarding and fanning the eggs to simply sitting over the nest and "eyeballing" the other side of the tank, just waiting for the female to come out of her (unused) breeding hut. I was able to feed her in that corner of the tank, but she didn't want to come out much. Reason? The male was intent on not having her around anymore. He went from flaring and chasing a little to outright attacking her. She was still pretty bold and would try to come out and explore ever 20 minutes or so, but it wasn't looking good.
I had a QT tank setup, but it was full of some recovering cardinals...which meant removing her wasn't the best option at the time. I decided that the next day (Day 3 of the spawn) I'd at least get a breeding net and float it in the tank for her. I figured if any fry hatched and the male's habits kept up, it'd be too much for the female. When I got home from work to check on things, it was obvious that the spawn was unsuccessful...the male abandoned the eggs by that point and fungus had spread through the nest. There were also some snails grazing on the eggs at that point. I figured that it was for the better though, since the female was now out of hiding and seemed to be getting along with the male.
Only one problem...she was injured. Either the male got a hold of her, or she ran into some driftwood trying to escape him at some point. She didn't look too bad, her color was still good and she was active and eating. Sadly though, her conditioned worsened through the day and she became lethargic.
By the time I pulled the cardinals from QT and started to drop acclimate them to the riparium (they'd been in QT for 2 weeks and were going to be moved this weekend anyway), the female was gray and sitting on the bottom of the tank
I bagged her, floated the bag in the QT tank while I transferred the cardinals, and when I went to the QT tank...she was dead.
So...I think I've pretty much given up on breeding these guys for the time being. Either my male is just has a serious case of intra-species aggression, or I should expect this every time. Having bred bettas in the past, I'm sort of used to this pattern, but was hoping to have some more "peaceful" spawns with a pair of rams.
I'll get pics of the tank up a little later today, most likely. The cardinals are in there now (9 altogether), and I put some new plants in the tank to alleviate the PTSD I acquired trying to save the female, haha.
I guess a couple more things worth mentioning:
I checked my hardness and my GH is now 2 degrees higher than the tap water after topping off the tank for the past month. I know that at one point I used warm tap water (treated of course)...and figure that the mineral buildup in my hot water heater may have helped contribute to the increase in the tank's hardness...compounded with the fact that my tank evaporates about 2 gallons of water per week. I've been good about using a heater in the bucket to heat up the cold water, but I'm sure it's still contributing.
So, I decided to perform the weekly top-offs with a mix of tap and RO water (~3:1) to keep the hardness down. Being that I'm topping off once a week, it's not too much of a hassle to get a 5-gallon bucket of R/O from the lfs once a month. I also ordered a TDS meter so I can do some quick checks on a regular basis...now that I dropped the goal of breeding these guys, I think I'll just focus on keeping the fish and plants as happy as possible.
congrats man. I hope my new male will spawn with the girl I got from you when he matures enough. I am still sat by the loss of the other male, but this one is healthy as a bull.

The male's behavior over the past couple days had changed as well...he was much more docile, and only showing his full fins in response to the female. He would basically act submissive, which calmed the female down some and they had been spending much more time together, rather than him just playfully chasing her around.
The female's vent was definitely extended when I got home from work, so it was looking like she may have been close to laying her eggs. I went out for a few hours and came back home to this:
The male has been hovering over the eggs and fanning them for the past hour since I've been back. Occasionally a piece of detritus will float near the pit and the male quickly scoops it up into his mouth and spits it out away from the pit...at first I thought he was eating the eggs, but so far so good. Luckily these 2 are in the tank alone for now...aside from some amano shrimp that they've already scared into the opposite corner of the tank. Ironically, the shrimp are hiding out in the coconut breeding hut.
They may have a bit to learn...well at least the male. He's been chasing the female away from the eggs. He doesn't pester her...but flares his fins and goes out toward the middle of the tank to ensure she retreats back to the hut. If either of them were going to eat the eggs...I'd bet it'd be the female though, as she pretty much devours most of the food at feeding time, while the male just tends to wait to pick stuff off the bottom a couple hours later.
We'll see how many (if any) eggs are left in the morning. Who knows if the male will give up watch, or will just get hungry.
I'm just happy that my rams are thriving

Hi All
We have extracted honey for the first time and it seems dark to us. It's about the color of coffee. We used low heat to get the honey to run out of the comb. Any opinions?
Probably not the heat, just the color of your honey.
taste it. Some honey is darker than others, what was the main nectar source?
two of my buddies got honey much darker than mine, and it tasted different too.
one of them, who had a hive near a lot of sourwood, put a shallow of drawn comb on just as the sourwood started to bloom, and took it off not long after it finished blooming. the other friend's hives were only a few miles from the this one's.
Two hives 6' apart. I pulled honey on one at the end of the flow: frame of cut comb super clear, almost did not look like honey. Remainder of the extraction of the super, slightly darker. Second hive had about 90% capped and it was like your described, coffee. We used the dark for some cooking since we considered it a lower grade but the flavour was so bold it quickly overpowered everything else. Since the two hives were so close I am also open for an explanation.
The bees just went to different flowers. I have customers that want dark honey. They like the robust flavor. It's like the difference between a light beer and a stout
It should not be necessary to use ANY heat.
Heat is known to darken honey so that would be my suspicion.
It is probably the nectar source. We had very dark honey this year because our flow came early (blackberries) then shut off due to the drought. I have heated my honey for 35 years to get it to strain and I have produced the lightest colored honey. I never go over 120 degrees but more important is to minimize the time the honey is heated. Minutes will not discolor the honey at mildly elevated temps. Hours can... Ideally, if you keep the honey below 90 or 100 degrees, you will produce a more aromatic product. To summarize, unless you went above, say, 140 degrees for an extended period of time, relax and enjoy your dark honey. You may never get another crop that color...
Most everyone that asks me about selling them honey want the dark.Quote:
relax and enjoy your dark honey. You may never get another crop that color...
The OP referred to using heat to "to get the honey to run out of the comb.",not to strain/filter his honey.
That would be my first suspicion of the cause of dark honey as most don't use heat to extract.
It sounds as if he was melting the wax to get the honey out, but not really clear enough for one to say for sure what if anything happened.
Thanks for the replies.
It does have a bold flavor but it definately has a good flavor. The hives were next to a blackberry patch.
Low heat was about 120 but some wax was mixed in and skimmed off, then strained through 5 gallon paint strainers.
Yes, the question isn't clear. "we extracted" and "get the honey to run out of the comb" doesn't jive. If they are melting combs, all bets are off for a dark floral source.
Beeswax has a melting point of 145 degrees which is hot enough to darken honey
Honey is alot like beer. it comes in all kinds of colorsAttachment 3480.
Goldenrod produces dark, and strong honey. What did the dark honey smell like? Did it have a musty, sweaty socks smell? If so, it is Goldenrod honey.
Nectar source. I had two hives not more than eight inches from each other and one had a light gold and softer flavored honey where the other was an extremely dark and bolder flavored. The honey was pulled same day at the same time and since I do not blend my honeys they stayed that way. I gave a jar of the lighter honey to each member of my family. Since one of my brothers ate an extra jar I sent the brother a jar of each type of honey. He was amazed they tasted so different and I explained when they were harvested and that got him started in beekeeping himself. The cool thing is that honey tastes and amounts are different here from year to year.
Yah golden rod honey here is very bright yellow and they make new wax that is also yellow.It only smells like dirty sox when it's being cured. Once capped and extracted it smells and tastes like honey but will crystalize fast. Very nice flavor.
Did not heat enough to melt the wax but I was probably close. The honey does smell good and has a very good flavor. We just cut out 6 frames to crush and will not use heat. The honey is still a little dark but more golden.
I don't think there was any Goldenrod around. Mostly oak trees, a lot of srub brush, and gardens.
Thanks for the replys.


text: I was very interested in Bee Weaver queens until I learned that they had a measure of AHB genetics. It is my understanding and experience that this does not lead to bees that winter well. Could I hear from some people with cold country experience with Bee Weaver queens? I am not trying to slander them, just trying to see people have found. PM me if uncomfortable putting your response on the forum please.

"Home on the Road" is a revealing documentary project, set on the streets of America, showing the passionate, inspiring, and sometimes, painful journey of a musician determined to realize his dreams. The project was created by Joshua Smith, an L.A. based vocalist, musician, songwriter, activist and humanitarian. Receiving news of a life changing opportunity, Joshua has set out to travel across the country, from Los Angeles to New York City, with only his music and the fire in his heart to show that human ingenuity knows no bounds, and through this experience he might uncover the true nature of life on the American streets.
This Documentary is a co-production of True Source Entertainment (www.truesourceent.com) and Apocalypse Pictures (www.apocalypsepictures.net)
STORYLINE: Joshua knows the struggles of being an artist in the US. Not many people are successful at carving a path for themselves in the entertainment industry. But there's more than fame and fortune to strive for in Joshua's path.
As a humanitarian and a philanthropist, Joshua has utilized his music, talents and abilities to benefit many people in need through partnerships with various non-profit organizations. Giving back has always been important for him, so now Joshua is taking on a new challenge for himself. With only a guitar and a sleeping bag, he's hitting the streets of the US to show that through passion, anything is possible.
Receiving news of a career making opportunity in NYC, Joshua knows he has limited time to get there before this chance will pass him by. He's decided to travel from Los Angeles to New York using only his music to get from one place to the next. A camera crew will accompany him to show what it can really be like as an artist to try and make your voice heard and successfully make it where you are trying to go.
This isn't a story about struggle, this is a story about success. And he's committed to do anything – even live homeless if need be, as he and many like him have done before. This is a story of hope and determination.
When we arrive with Joshua in NY, the opportunity is waiting for him, but also something much deeper than that; a connection with an audience that has followed him along the way. He'll have discovered a real gift: the gift of community.
THE IMPACT: This story is an attractive wake up call for our global community. We're going to start to see the breakdowns in the system that supports those who must live on the streets. We're going to be exposed to the power of choice.
Joshua is making the choice to tell this story for a greater cause. There is something we can all choose to do with our own aptitudes and abilities that can create massive social impact. We will show in this story and outreach programs to follow, what is possible for creating a difference with our community as a whole.
The soundtrack of the Documentary is full of the music of a record also titled, "Home on the Road". This record features some of Joshua's most personal music to date.
The title track "Home on the Road", was written drawing from the emotional impact that living a life committed to benefitting others and utilizing his talents for the empowerment of others has given him. The entire album spans the journey of the last 5 years in Los Angeles, pursuing a career in the arts, having given his heart and lifestyle to this goal.
"Home on the Road", the album, will be available for sale before the Documentary goes into distribution. Proceeds from the sales of this album go toward the non-profits and shelters that benefit from the Documentary and Outreach program.
In some of the cities that Joshua visits on throughout the course of the Documentary, we will revisit and establish programs that will benefit the shelters and non-profits in those communities we will meet. This is a chance for the people to get involved, and the only way that this project can ultimately have any impact. The Outreach program depends on our audience.
They will have the opportunity to join a campaign in a city of their choosing, create a profile, and share this campaign with your friends and followers on all social media networks. Spreading the word about the campaign is the most important thing you can do!
What can you do? Spreading the word about the campaign is the most important thing you can do! With your community, you can support us by raising money and planning a day-long event. The activities of that day can include feeding the homeless, rebuilding a shelter, working with a non-profit like the Red Cross or United Way to give medical help, starting project based programs in your local public school system, or starting a project to build people new homes! These are only examples of what can be accomplished in your communities -- the opportunities are endless. At the end of the event, you get a free concert that will showcase local talent and Joshua with his band, all created and inspired by you.
Watch the Teaser: We've recorded a trailer for you to see how this project can look. This is only a preview, the documentary still needs to be filmed, and distributed.

The spirit of John Coltrane came alive at the library on Sunday, September 28. Dave Liebman, along with John's son Ravi, enthralled the audience with stories from John's life and times, and helped us to understand the beauty and complexity in John's music. At the end of the discussion the two jazz giants treated us to a live taste of Coltrane music and took questions from the audience.
We brought Dave and Ravi upstairs to look at our Coltrane Collection computer, and couldn't drag them away! We watched as they enjoyed reminiscing through the pictures and sounds with some help from visiting Coltrane scholar Yasuhiro "Fuji" Fujioka.

Reviews of this property
Very nice apartment with a good location (about 15 minutes from the train station and 15 minutes to the center). For groups up to 10 persons super as well and 3 times WC.
Apartment and rooms were clean.
Sehr schöne Wohnung mit guter Lage (ca. 15min vom Bahnhof und 15min ins Zentrum). Für Gruppen bis 10 Personen super, da auch auch 3mal WC vorhanden.
Wohnung und Zimmer waren sauber.
We've been in Prague but this place was awesome.
Wenceslas Square right in the middle, what more could you want.
We were all very pleased unhd will book again.
Wir waren schon oft in Prag aber diese Unterkunft war der Hammer.
Wenzelsplatz mittendrin, was will man mehr.
Wir waren alle sehr sehr zufrieden unhd werden immer wieder buchen.
Magnificent apartment with all basic needs. Location is perfect, we could visit all within walking distance. Every day, a few cleaners along which the apartment again a little clearing, perfect for a large group. Only thing is that there is only one shower for everyone, for the rest, this apartment is perfect!
Prachtig appartement voorzien van alle basisbehoeften. Ligging is perfect, wij konden alles op loopafstand bezoeken. Iedere dag komen een paar schoonmaaksters langs die het appartement weer een beetje opruimen, ideaal voor een grote groep. Enige minpunt is dat er slechts 1 douche is voor iedereen, voor de rest is dit appartement perfect!
Good apartment it was convenient for the city, but in content did not match what was on order there should be two bathroom which was 1 and 2 Independent toilets were not the apartment we would have lacked roof it would have been nice to have as it was hot and 7 people per 1 Bathroom
Sincerely mona
God lejlighed den lå godt i forhold til byen ,men i indhold svarede ikke til hvad der stod på bestilling der skulle være 2 badeværelse der var1 og 2 toileter fik heller ikke den lejlighed vi skulle have, manglede tagterasse den ville have været rar at have da det var varmt og 7 mennesker om 1 badeværelse
venlig hilsen mona
Helt fantastisk lejlighed, lidt slidt.
Alt fungerer, dejlig tagterrasse, rengøring af toiletter og bad hver dag.
Beliggenhed i gåafstand til alt midt i centrum.
Vi var 9 gutter som bodde i leiligheten. Topp beliggenhet, nydelig veranda og fine soverom. Absolutt å anbefale!
Super Lage, gepflegt und für große Gruppen super geeignet. Einziges Manko war die spärlich eingerichtete Küche (1 kleine Pfanne und 1 Topf). Jederzeit wieder.
Die Wohnung ist sehr zentral gelegen,man konnte alles zu Fuss erreichen.Den Fotos im Internet wird sie leider nicht gerecht,aber sehr geräumig.Etwas verwohnt,aber sehr bequeme Betten. Das Person war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich.Leider gab es beim Frühstück nur Toastbrot und keine anderen Brotsorten.Aber sonst war über Rüherei und Müsli alles vorhanden.Wir würden auf Grund der Lage und bei der Größe unserer Gruppe wieder dort buchen.

Nice, large apartment at a very central location,
everything works fine, would come again.
Having rented some real good apartments in Prague.
So I was really excited to see if I was going to be as lucky again as the last
And to that I must say this is probably the fastest acceptance of an apartment I've had 1 ½ minutes after I sent my request, so was ready with a confirmation, while attached they all relevandte information you would use when lands in Prague.

Teena Marie Dead at 54
R&B songstress Teena Marie passed away Sunday (Dec. 26). She was 54-years-old. Details of the singer's death are scarce but she reportedly passed away in her sleep and was discovered in her Los Angeles home by her daughter Alia Rose AKA Rose LeBeau. Marie's passing was first discovered by journalist/author Roland Martin, who took to Twitter to report on the sad news. The singer's publicist, Jasmine Vega, eventually confirmed reports. Marie's manager, Mike Gardner, also confirmed her death to CNN.
Born Marie Christine Brockert — Teena Marie, famously known as Rick James' protegee, rose to fame in the late 70s and 80s. The Grammy nominated singer-songwriter released her debut 'Wild and Peaceful' via Motown Records in 1979. The album featured 'I'm a Sucker for Your Love,' Marie's first Top Ten hit, but Lady T would go on to have many more hits, including 'Square Biz,' 'Lovergirl' and 'Ooo La La La.'
Marie's career spanned four decades. She released 13 albums, including 2009's 'Congo Square.' 'Congo Square' was a nod to an area in the Treme section of New Orleans where slaves would gather in the 18th century to perform. Marie collaborated with her daughter Alia Rose on the project and also teamed with Faith Evans, MC Lyte and Shirley Murdock. Marie would spend much of 2009 and 2010 touring in support of 'Congo Square' while tossing her many hits.

I did not see anyone else being left unblocked in favor of blocking Te'o. I did snot see a bunch of Te'o Double teams. What I saw was guys getting to te'o to block him, and thta was something ND was entirely unused to seeing since they arent used to having their Dline dominated.
Those three things (Bowl game, Combine and Senior / Shrine) are the draft setters.
That and I don't think most teams in today's NFL would take a chance on a LBer in the first unless they look like a lock.
That and Al Davis died.

Mood: WOOF!
I might, but I don't think that Reese would take him there. Just my opinion.

Winger pushing for first promotion
Bakary Sako today acknowledged he had no complaints about being dropped from the starting line-up at the turn of the year – and just quickly set about trying to return to the team.
Sako has pretty much been an ever-present when fit in his 18 months at Wolves so far, but found himself on the bench for the home games with Preston and Bristol City.
However he came off the bench to impressive effect with a goal against City, and followed up with similarly good displays against Oldham and Bradford and is now keen to stay right in the thick of the action between now and the end of the season.
Sako says: "It is always difficult for any player when you are not playing because everyone wants to play.
"I missed a couple of games but it's all about being ready when the gaffer wants you to play and respond on the pitch.
"I'm not the type of person to moan all day about it – I just wanted to respond in the right way and when the gaffer calls on me to again do my best and try and help my team-mates.
"And now I'm back in the team I want to stay in, like anyone!
"I have played a lot of games since I joined here and I enjoy it.
"But it can sometimes be tough to play well in every single game even though that is what I try to do and what people expect.
"That is why I have to play well because I want to meet the high expectations of me.
"I know it is my job to create goals and score goals and sometimes that doesn't happen but it is always what I am aiming for."
Sako and Wolves have found themselves back in the top two after four successive victories, albeit with Leyton Orient in third having a game in hand.
But the winger believes the team have what it takes to stay right up there in the promotion race and continue picking up results against opponents keen to raise their game when Wolves are in town.
"I think the team are in a good position now," he added.
"We had a few bad results and it knocked us out of the top two but we have done well lately and are back in the top two.
"That is where we know we need to be and need to make sure we are at the end of the season.
"It is a different challenge in this league especially for us because every single team we play wants to beat Wolves and every single player wants to beat Wolves.
"That can make every game difficult but we are a big club and we know that is what we have to overcome if we want to get promoted.
"With the way we have been playing I am very confident we can get promoted and I think we all trust each other to do that from the gaffer to the staff and all the squad.
"It is a simple message but we just have to keep going!
"Everywhere we play we have to keep going and stick together and get the results we need.
"It was the first time I have been relegated last season so I want to follow it up with a first promotion.
"That's not just for me – it's for the club and the fans to get back to where we should be."
Sako meanwhile has been pleased to see the return of Nouha Dicko to the club – permanently this time – during the transfer window.
Not only because Dicko is another French speaker, but also because of his potential on the pitch!
"It was good to see Nouha again," says Sako.
"Before he came back I was the only Frenchman - all the others had left!
"It was good to see him again – he is a good guy and a good player.
"He has started off very well scoring two goals in three games and making a good contribution to the team.
"The gaffer has changed the strikers around with Doyler, Griff and Bjorn going and now we have Nouha, Leon and Liam McAlinden.
"I definitely think there are plenty of goals in those strikers that will help us get promoted."

MAKERS Spotlights Firsts in Journalism and Music
Sep 13, 2012
MAKERS.com, which launched in March showcasing women trailblazers of the past half-century, now features more than 130 video profiles and grows every week. The latest additions to the gallery: the first Asian American to win a Pulitzer Prize, the first female senior editor of Newsweek and the first female solo act to win the Shortlist Music Prize when her album "The Greatest" was awarded Album of the Year.
Sheryl WuDunn is an investment banker, author, journalist, and international women's rights advocate. In 1989 she became the first Asian American to win a Pulitzer Prize for her work at the Beijing bureau of the New York Times. She has co-written three best-selling books with her husband, the Times columnist Nicolas Kristof. She is currently a managing director at Mid-Market Solutions. In 1989 WuDunn joined the Times' Beijing bureau, where she and Kristof, whom she had married the previous year, teamed up to cover the Tiananmen Square massacre and several other major stories in China and Southeast Asia. Their work was recognized with the Pulitzer Prize, making them the first husband and wife team to receive the award.
Lynn Povich is an editor, journalist, and women's rights pioneer. In 1975, she became the first female senior editor in the history of Newsweek. She's currently co-chairwoman of the International Women's Media Foundation. Povich joined Newsweek as a secretary in the mid-1960s at a time when all the writers and editors were men and all the fact checkers, researchers, and secretaries were women. In 1970, the magazine decided to publish a cover story on the women's rights movement. Because they didn't have any female writers on staff, they had to hire a female writer from elsewhere to write the piece as a freelancer. Outraged, Povich and 45 other female staffers of the magazine sued for sex discrimination. The lawsuit and the publicity it created were a gigantic first step toward gender equality in the magazine business.
Chan Marshall is a singer-songwriter also known by the name of her band Cat Power. The Atlanta-born musician found her musical voice as a teenager while jamming with other musician friends in a basement. In 1992, she moved to New York and two years later experienced her first big break when she opened for music artist Liz Phair. Known for her soulful, minimalist vocals and guitar, Marshall released her first album in 1995. In 2007, she became the first female solo act to win the Shortlist Music Prize when her album The Greatest was awarded Album of the Year. Her cover of "Sea of Love" was also featured on the 2007 movie soundtrack for the film Juno. Cat Power's latest studio album Sun released Sept. 4 to rave reviews.

Still awaiting reunion, Lefevers family probed by DSS
NEWPORT - The Department of Social Services visited the home of a father whose 12-year-old daughter was taken from North Carolina to Florida by a convicted sex offender, according to authorities.
Abigaile Lefevers was supposed to reunite with her father this past weekend, but Robert Lefevers said that meeting was postponed until later this week, possibly Wednesday. Robert Lefevers said he still hasn't had contact of any kind with his daughter, but has been the subject of a DSS home study as ordered by a judge in the case.
"They've yet to let me have a five-minute conversation with her on the phone. That's even harder for me," Lefevers said.
Abigaile was found by police in Florida on Wednesday with convicted sex offender Timothy Newman, 38, who admitted to FBI agents he had a physical past with the girl dating back two months.
Since Newman's arrest, Robert Lefevers has been waiting to be reunited with his daughter.
"I just want her to know that I love her, and we're going to work through this," said Robert Lefevers, who also has four other children.
Abigaile remains in protective custody in Florida. The Department of Social Services on Sunday visited with her father, who says authorities had already reached out to his ex-wives. Abigale's mother died about one year ago. Robert Lefevers indicated that the postponement in the reunion was likely to make time for the DSS investigation.
"I feel like they're just giving me excuses just to let the Department of Social Services do their investigation on me," he said. "I have nothing to hide from Department of Social Services, but at the same point, I feel like I shouldn't be the one under the microscope."
David Atkinson, the director of Carteret Social Services, says with all of the publicity surrounding her abduction, Abigaile will need a lot of support when she returns.
"It's going to be very important that folks just understand that this girl needs to re-establish normalcy," said Atkinson.
Those close to the case said one of the main issues Abigaile will be faced with when she returns are the questions and concerns. It's something that school officials and her father said they are already preparing for before Abigaile comes home.
"The bottom line - a therapeutic environment needs to be established and explored," said Atkinson.
Timothy Newman is expected to be extradited to North Carolina to face charges. No word yet if he will face charges in South Carolina or Florida, the two other states authorities said Newman and Lefevers drove through on their way to Florida.

Ten Shows of 2006
I realize it's a bit late for "Year in Review" posts, but some inexplicable urge just compelled me to write this out. Possibly attributed to my current holiday I guess. In anyways, I suck at ranking things, so this is not a "Top Ten" styled post, but more of a focus list of shows I thought best represented the year that was 2006 for me.
