I am a first year beekeeper. This is the first Winter I have had bees.
I cracked the lids off my beehives today (Central California - 60 degrees) for about 15 seconds each. I didn't pull any frames, just took a very quick look to see if bees were there.
One hive had a small cluster of bees on top of the frames.
Two of the hives had significantly greater numbers of bees, but were profoundly wet inside. Droplets of water were all over.
Is this a problem that I should address? If so, what steps should I take.
Additionally, I lifted the hives a couple inches, and they seemed a tad light. Would feeding be in order?
I appreciate any expert help.

Television bosses are heading in different strategic directions as they decide their approach to current affairs programming and adapt to changes in the way viewers are consuming such fare.
But the genre's future will depend on television companies continuing to accept much lower profit margins from local shows.
TVNZ is being drawn towards light and bright, while TV3 insists there is a mood for more intelligent programming.
Programmes like Campbell Live and Seven Sharp cost a lot to run but they pay off with a brand-boost for channels that is hard to value.
In the tight advertising market a lot of the changes rest on the shows maintaining or boosting audiences.
TV New Zealand is claiming success with the TV One 7pm show Seven Sharp, which it depicts as the new face of current affairs.
The show has similarities with Breakfast and mixes humour with magazine fare.
It features Alison Mau, Greg Boyed and Jesse Mulligan and was launched on February 4 to dismal reviews and lacklustre ratings, which TVNZ said had picked up in the past week.
"It has really got its mojo," said TVNZ head news and current affairs director Ross Dagan, the architect of the show, who exits TVNZ next month.
TV3 owner MediaWorks is aiming at the higher end for its new show 3rd Degree, interspersed with its monthly issues-based programme The Vote.
Hosted by Duncan Garner and Guyon Espiner 3rd Degree starts on Wednesday and is described as "a new kind of current affairs".
Meanwhile, Prime television has made a belated shift into current affairs, including local content, with 60 Minutes - a US CBS format it took off TV3 at the end of last year.
For viewers the big hope will be that the turnaround will offer more choice.
For TVNZ and TV3 it marks a significant investment in shows for a challenging genre and their strategies are based on two distinct interpretations of the future of the market.
TV3 director of news and current affairs Mark Jennings is blunt.
With Seven Sharp TVNZ was getting dumber "and we are going in the opposite direction to that".
But Dagan said networks had to adapt to the market and doing nothing was not an option.
If editorial issues are complex on what works with the audience, the economics of prime time are even messier.
The good news is that news and current affairs programmes make up 40 per cent of viewers.
The majority of them watch the shows live, not recorded on My Sky or any of the increasingly common personal video recorders.
That means they do not fast forward through the ads and are sought after by advertisers.
But, like all media, the market in prime time is heavily fragmented with competition from other channels on Sky and other entertainment online and on mobile phones.
In this environment, Jennings said, creating a new show like 3 Degrees was a much bigger risk.
"Where once a show could be tried and tested for six or nine months, now it has to work straight away."
Dagan said there was plenty of room for different formats including Sunday, 20/20 and Q+A. But in the 7pm slot at least the need was for a chattier style rather than traditional current affairs.

Sunken Gold Dredge, Inambari River, Peru
A sunken gold dredge on the Inambari River, Peru, about two days travel below the Sandia - San Juan del Oro bridge. The legend is that this dredge was packed into the river by mules in the early part of the 20th century, assembled, and made a fabulous haul of gold the first day of operation. That night, a flood struck and washed the dredge away. True? I don't know, but someone made a huge effort to get some gold out of the river.

The prices at Smart and Final remain unchanged.
Costco Redding Ca 8/6/2009 50# C & H 20.37 You have to ask for it.
Yesterday in the Spanish Fork, Ut Maceys. Bought a pallet of 50#bags of sugar $18.99 per bag.
-Rob Bliss
do the store brands say pure sugar, or just sugar? Do they have more filler making them cheaper?
SUGAR #11 (WORLD) (USd/lb.) 20.810 cents
Two months ago sugar on the commodities market was at 12.7 cents/lb
This will hit the stores soon so stock up.
Two months ago sugar on the commodities market was at 12.7 cents/lb
This will hit the stores soon so stock up.
Sounds like good information!
The store manager at ALBERTSONS once told me that they did not make much on sugar.
Many years ago I heard at a California Bee Convention that the price of sugar and the price of honey was separated.
I bought a 50# bag this weekend at Sams in Paducah, KY it was $23.00 or $ .46 / lb.
I'm going to look around at Aldi and the like to see if it's any cheaper.
Costco Wholesale Washington
C&H Powered Sugar 50 Lb 26.39 (.528pp)
C&H Granulated Sugar 25 Lb 12.25 (.49pp)
I generally buy my sugar from SAM'S CLUB, 50# bags for $22.79 (that around 46 cents a pound). I haven't seen a price increase for some time. I'll buy a dozen bags at a time.
There have been times I've bought the 4-lb bags on sale for $.99 at our local grocery. Often there is a limit of how many I can buy, but if not, and I fill the cart, then I have to deal with the cute high school girl who giggles, "Making a lot of Kool-aid?"
I just smile back and say, "Yeah. Vacation Bible School." Then murmer, "You wouldn't understand." She usually takes my word for how many bags are in the cart rather than bother with taking all of them out and scanning each one individually. I frequently find check out clerks who need to repeatedly scan the one bag 100 times rather than find the "quantity" key on the computer after scanning one bag.
The other downside to filling a shopping cart in a very public store are those people who say, "Buying all that sugar to make honey?"
That's not the rumor I need spread around town by ignorant people who think my honey is nothing more than converted sugar syrup. I usually do this sugar shopping late at night when all the nosy people are home watching the news. It's a 24-hour store, thankfully.
As for mixing, I bought one of those barrel heaters that wraps around the bottom of a 55-gallon corn syrup drum. I've done the turkey boiler and got tired of refilling the propane tank. I've done the large pot on a wood fire, but finally broke down and bought the electric heater. This heater was purchased at Grainger for around $300 with shipping. I bought the largest wattage for the most efficient heating. There are cheaper models.
(or search www.grainger.com for cheaper, lower powered models)
I pour five, five-gallon buckets of water (25 gallons total) then plug the heater in and let it warm up for four to five hours (with the lid on the drum to prevent evaporation).
When I return, I'll pour my sugar into a five-gallon bucket (my "measuring cup") and add ten of them to the hot water. I got a paint mixer-stir gizmo for my electric drill (for five-gallon buckets of paint) and give it a good stir for about ten minutes. Then I put the lid back on the drum and generally let the heater work for another two hours. I unplug it and let the syrup cool, again with the lid on. I may add some megabee protein supplement to this mix depending on the time of year and stir it in at this point.
Yes, there is some degree of undissolved sugar that settles, but it's not much.
I went to my farm supply store and bought a drum pump. It fits on the 2" bung hole and I can pump the syrup into jars or buckets.
Yeah, it costs more, but I find with the success of my bee operation, I have more money than time and I need to manage my time more closely and more efficiently.

Costco Redding.Bought a pallet last week :thats 50 50lbs bags @ $ 20.49 each (around .41 per lbs). They are raising the price $1.30 per bag this week.
So you get 25 gallons of water and 50 gallons of sugar, in a 55 gallon drum? ?????????
Not if you add them too quickly!
what do you make of this??
I got this today:
I like how it said at the last that the candy and icecream makers will be the ones hurting, haha I guess thay are not going to raise their prices eh! WE all know who pays for it in the end.
Glad I got a little something for my sweet tooth!!
Whenever I go to Sams or Costco, all they have is 25 lb bags. $.49 per pound this week.
In rough numbers, 25 gallons (at 8 lbs per gallon) comes in at 200 pounds. Ten buckets of dry sugar weighs (at 40 lbs. each) 400 pounds. 600 total pounds of water and dissolved sugar comes out to 50 gallons (at 12 lbs per gallon of syrup).

I have found my rock bottom price. FredMeyer has 25 lb bag of there private label sugar for 12.79-1.28 (10%)= .46lb. My son gets an employee discount of 10%. I dont think I can beat this. It saves me a whole .03lb from costco.
50 lb bag at Sams 21.40 this weekend,0.43 per lb. Most of the time they have 100-200 bags, Sat I got the last 10 they had out.
Yeah, same price at the Sam's in Beaumont, TX

This is my first year--I installed at the end of April.
I've been inspecting about every 8 days, but last weekend skipped and truly paid for it today: they flew (in front of me) up into our pine tree about 30 feet up. My dear boyfriend jerry-rigged a telescoping pole and a salmon net lined with a black plastic trash bag; armed with this instrument, I positioned as best I could about 9' below the swarm while he climbed the tree with a pole saw. This "drop in the bag" method failed on us twice--the queen either flew back into the air and resettled, or we didn't get her.
We stopped, had a late lunch and regrouped. It was decided that both of us should be up in the tree . . .
I climbed in my bee suit (not easy!) about 10 feet up while dear bf was in the next limb up with the saw. Keeping the net about 1' below the swarm we dropped 3 branches in until most of the mass made it into the bag. It was ridiculously heavy, as well as awkward, so I held on until I could be helped with "closing" the bag (tilting the net so the opening was somewhat closed). Somehow we managed to get the net and pole untangled from the tree as we climbed down, then deposited net, bag and branches into 2 meds.
Bees started dancing with their butts up (to my bf's amazement) telling all "she's over here!" Whew!
I put in one frame of honey and one of capped and open brood as well as 2 empty frames. After a few minutes I shook and took out the plastic bag and a few of the branches. The bees were all heaped into the corner of the box, leading me to believe they were surrounding the queen.
I believe quite a few bees returned to the original hive as well (I put an entrance feeder in for them).
Hopefully they stay put.
I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm trying!
This may seem dumb, but is the old queen in the swarm, and the original hive queenless? (There is 1 queen cell, capped)
And should I now stick to 2 hives?--or at some point combine them?

My take on it is, any offense that loses its best Olineman +two more Olineman and starting rb is gonna struggle. Miles' offenses haven't always struggled. He ha coached, 4/5 of the top 5 offenses in LSU history, but I bet he will get zero credit for that. He only gets criticism, not credit. Just like last year he wasn't getting much credit for stomping the SEC , pac12 champ, and big east champ. Les isn't perfect, he definitely has problems with the offense but of you aren't gonna give him credit, don't criticize. Miles has kept LSU as a top 5 program.
Why do the members on this board get labeled as negatigers or bandwagon fans when they state an opinion based on what is being shown on the field. Just because most of us understand what is going on with our team and our opponents and predict what will happen doesn't mean we don't root for our Tigers. I predicted we would lose Saturday, not because I'm not a fan, it was due to the putrid play of the O-line, lack of WR production and no in game adjustments by our coaching staff. Nonetheless, I was cheering my arse off for my Tigers. If you predict We will win out then cudos to you, but if you are a realist who has accepted the major flaws we have and calls it like you see it, that doesn't make you any less of a fan than anyone else.
Yes, but what I wrote wasn't about the offense struggling. It was about what offensive strategy is being utilized. Like Roger said just a second ago, when inexperienced backup linemen are utilized like the starters are then they are being put in a position to fail.
But like I said, any team that loses 3 starting Olineman, starting rb, gimped up fb, is gonna struggle.
quote:. They worship him In Some kind of odd, sycophantic, yet creepy way.
Some people are terrified of the truth and don't wan to see it. It all comes down to liking the Head Coach more than the program
You are not addressing the issue. For this game, miles "favorite offense" will not win. Are you saying that if LSU runs into a team that can stop his offense, LSU might as well forfeit because les won't change?
I'm not a true fan?
I'm not a true fan?
92 posts
Because, unless you're betting, you never predict your team to lose dumbass. There's been far more improbable upsets than the games we play in. How does predicting a loss make you a better fan

I remember reading about this experiemental project and now we have the opportunity to go into this unique structure that was sealed off for two years with eight scientists inside. Biosphere 2, a three acre complex of futuristic domes and glass canopies was built as an experiment designed to see how man would function in a colony on another planet.
Eight people lived in this isolation for two years. They grew their own food, tended to more than 3500 plant and animal species, and recycled their water.
The complex was divided among five miniature ecosystems: desert, grassland, marsh, ocean, and rain forest
Many of the ecosystems have deteriorated. It was an exhausting job, as you were responsible for the food on the table, along with the constant scientific experiements. It's an unusual complex, and one worth touring. Who knows, this might be the model for the first space station on the moon.
Back on the road to Phoenix and just in time to meet Kary and John's flights. Check in to the hotel then over to Frank Lloyd Wrights Taliesin West house and studio. We're Frank fanatics. May have something to do with the "Wright" name, which I inherited from my grandfather Lew.
Architecture always interested me since I was a child. Could it be we share some of the same genes? We've got our tickets and picked up umbrellas. Not for the rain, but the sun. The tour is thru the house, gardens, past the pool and into his private theatre with perfect acoustics. Frank had many of his students stay in tents on the property to help build this masterpiece. To say he was economical would be an understatement. This house, like most he has built, flows. I love Falling Water, but would take this beauty in a heart beat.
A quick trip into downtown Scottsdale, then back to Phoenix. Dinner at Guarduno's. We found this restaurant in New Mexico years ago, and loved it. Not much has changed. Still a favorite.

How the 'Best' Are Beating the Economic Blues
SSI Editor-in-Chief Scott Goldfine talks with leadership at five highly skilled installation firms about how their companies have been affected by the recession and ongoing economic challenges.
By Scott Goldfine · June 24, 2012
The upcoming July edition of SECURITY SALES & INTEGRATION is our annual Best of the Best Issue, featuring 10 of the industry's best-run businesses and most highly skilled installation firms. In interviewing leadership from all of these tremendous organizations, one of the things I asked was how their companies have been affected by the recession and ongoing economic challenges. What's apparent is they embody the survival of the fittest philosophy in that all of them were well managed enough at the onset of the downturn to weather it and because of that are also emerging from it stronger than ever before. Here is what some of them had to say ...
Jeremy Bates, GM, Bates Security
"You would not know there was a recession based on our performance the last several years. Sales have increased every year. The size of our company in revenue and employees has also grown significantly."
Mark Recene, VP Sales & Marketing, HS Technology Group
"We performed a large percentage of work for several production builders in our area, two of which declared bankruptcy and left HST handling the clean-up. We were fortunate to be able to bounce back and pick up work with more custom builders, as well as develop relationships with trade partners in the commercial security and integration business. We now have a steady work flow of commercial work coming from several architects, electrical contractors and general contractors in our area. We do our best to manage our cash flow and work with our new partners with credit and financing terms as to not put HST in a similar position. We have learned that there are many ways to reduce risk."
Dean Guyette, COO, Per Mar Security Services
"We were very fortunate to maintain our current level of staffing without impacting anyone's employment. We took the approach that we would retool, evaluate and improve all processes so that when the economy improved we would be ahead of most. Overall, we did see a decline in larger projects but saw an increase in the need for people wanting residential security due to increased levels of crime in their markets. In general, we were able to better prepare ourselves and come out of the economical challenge stronger."
Shawn Mullen, President & Chief Energy Officer, Protex Central
"In many respects, the fire system business is somewhat recession-proof. Since fire systems are required by either local codes or insurance companies, the systems must be in place and maintained. While no guarantee against recession, Protex Central anticipated the slowdown in the new construction markets and invested heavily in a single-source inspection and maintenance program to garner fixed-price service contracts. In addition to moderating the challenging business environment, this program and produced consistent and profitable upgrade and replacement work."
Felix Gonzales, VP Strategic Initiatives & Business Development, Stanley CSS
"Due to the current economic condition we continue to challenge and evaluate every initiative; pushing everyone to be more diligent with every dollar spent. Each program or campaign is tracked for ROI and overall effectiveness. For instance, to save on travel costs we make great use of video conferencing especially when working with team members across international borders."

I'm new to honey bees and as keen as mustard to learn as much as I can, I only have one hive which is very basic and consists of a brood box and one super with a excluder between.
I bought a heap of 2nd hand boxes and other gear cheap off ebay and amongst it is a stack of plastic full size frames, I have cleaned them with a preasure cleaner and now I am not sure wether to use them or not, I have been researching a lot about the SHB and the traps that are used, I have noticed that the frames are designed with small square holes around them that is identical to some of the traps and look like perfect hidy holes for the beetle, maybe they were designed before the SHB was a problem.
any thoughts
cheers Kev

This is the final book in the Highlander series by Karen Marie Moning. I am a great Diana Gabaldon fan and I must say I found this series is as wonderful as the Outlander books.
In "The Dark Highlander" we follow the life and love of Dageus MacKeltar through time and back. Suffice to say the characters are wonderful, sassy, humorous, and heart wrenching.
The story is complicated and intriguing. I found myself holding my breath and crying at times throughout. We pick up where the fourth book ended and learn more of the characters from "Kiss of the Highlander". This is one of the reasons I think I enjoyed this book so much. I felt bereft when "Kiss of the Highlander" ended and wanted more. I was totally delighted and never let down to this end.
The characters are charming, at times ruthless and always deep and rich. Adam Black returns initially to my chagrin. Without giving away too much he is in fine form and I found myself liking him more and more.
Phil Gigante narrates all of the books in the series. His accents are flawless to my untrained ear. So I can only offer that I enjoyed the narration with no problems and a great deal of joy.
I highly recommend the entire series.

"Loved this book!!!"
This is a great book to listen to! Cloe Zanders finds herself helping Daegus MacKelter, who has 13 evil spirits sharing his body and trying to take him over. Will he give up all to ravage Cloe? Will Cloe give up everything to go to Scotland with a man she doesn't even know to try to free him from these evil spirits? Does she even believe him or does she think he is a crazy, but goood looking man!?! What will they do besides fall in love? This is Ms. Moning's 5th book in the series. You don't need to read the first three but it would be helpful if you read the fourth book, KISS OF A HIGHLANDER, first. Many of the characters in KISS appear in this book, if only briefly. I found this book fun to listen to and will listen again soon. Enjoy!
Phil Gigante does the most amazing job reading this series! His voice just makes you melt, especially when he is doing one of the Scottish Brogues!
WARNING though! Even though it's not marked as such, this book is in the middle of a series. Most of the books can be just read as stand alone, but for this one, you really do need to listen to "Kiss of the Highlander" first. But trust me, they are worth the credits!
"couldn't get enough"
I have actually read the entire series now and just never got tired of them. I loved all of the characters, even if some parts were somewhat predictable. It mostly still kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved them and was really sorry to see it end.
"dark highlander"
I loved her highlander series, and definitely enjoyed the narrator. Can't wait for the next book. Hope it goes to audiobook soon. (w/the same narrator of course).
"Good story, heroine's voice a bit off putting"
I liked the storyline and the romantic scenes were good but the tones the narrator used for the main heroine was a bit off-putting. She didn't sound like the intelligent person she was supposed to be when the narrator was saying her "speaking" lines. I preferred her "thinking" parts because the narrator used his own voice which didn't sound so forced.
"MUST READ! Love the highlander!"
Phil Gigante's voice is sooooo smooth and awesome! I loved his reading of my favorite highlander series. He brings ALL the characters to life.
His voice really brings the characters to life. I can see the facial expressions of the characters as he describes them. His ability to do the baritone voices reverberates through me while I'm listening the book. He snares me so well that I sometimes continue to sit in my car because I just can't "put down" the book!
When it becomes hard to see things clearly...You learn to listen !
"Team Dagues !"
I love a good love story, and this one has drama and passion. there are tender moments between father and son that had me crying in the street.
I actually have recommended all of the Highlander series to my friends and they have become addicted to the stories as well
No, I have never heard him before this, and because of him I am having a hard time finding
another book to listen. He took such care with his characters and there voices that all of the audiobooks I have heard after him, sound like a GPS system is reading the book to me,
I really enjoyed his performance, and hope whom ever it is that decides who narrates what uses Gigante as the standard. His reading, emotion, and even anger was awesome !
Hell Yes...I had to force myself to go to bed
More Phil Gigante doing paranormal romance and regular romance.!
"Dark, sensual fun"
I rate this one as a personal favorite.
Daegus is a tortured soul struggling to over come. This book is so superbly written that I found myself wanting to jump into it and become the heroine.
When Daegus makes love to Chloe the first time, wow! Best love scene ever!
I loved the rich fantasy of this book, it's like a mystical spell and I couldn't stop listen to the incredible Phil Gigante. I love how Ms.Moning makes strong female heroines and of course even stronger hero's. The great pull and tug of this story makes it heart warming. I found myself physically hungering for the next book and the next. I was sad when I had Listened to them all so I started all over again and again and again.
"1 of the best male readers there is"
This is my favorite in the Highlander series so far, and Gigante is the best male reader I have heard thus far. Moning is one of my favorite authors too.

What better day than Halloween – famous for ghosts, ghouls and goblins – to deal with skeletons. And this week we're going to find out if Herman Cain has any real skeletons in his closet. By this time I'm sure you've already seen the damning headline which Politico launched on Sunday night. Rather than reprinting all of the details here we can best summarize it with the lede.
During Herman Cain's tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association officials about inappropriate behavior by Cain, ultimately leaving their jobs at the trade group, multiple sources confirm to POLITICO. The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts to leave the association. The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.
When this news first broke and we began immediately dissecting it on Twitter, I was mostly cautioning everyone among both Cain's supporters and detractors to slow walk this one. Stories such as this, ripe with the juiciest buzzwords, are serious poison pills which can leave pundits looking very silly when they finish blowing up. One of the main problems is that the story, while apparently fairly well sourced and researched over a period of time, fails to deliver some of the bedrock facts which would help nail this down one way or the other. Of course, while I wish the reporters from Politico had showed us a little more leg, so to speak, I can also understand how the sources could leave them tongue tied in key areas.
Some things to consider before you jump too quickly into this maelstrom center on the types of accusations being levied. As Da Techguy points out, when you are a successful businessman in a position of power with a lot of money in play, you can attract lawsuits. It's just a fact of life. I'm not in any way implying the two women in question were disingenuous in their accusations – we simply don't have enough details to say either way at this point. But such things do happen in the real world, and sometimes large organizations will pay somebody off to just make a problem go away and avoid a prolonged freak show. The payments in question here are apparently in the "five figure" range, so that would be a cheap parachute to grab, IF that's what happened.
There are also many levels of "sexual harassment" which fall well short of sexual assault. (Which has not even been alleged here, we should point out.) Again, we're lacking the details of what is alleged to have been done. While not excusing anything, there's a bit of a difference between grabbing someone's private areas and, for example, a wink and a nod at an inappropriate moment which somebody might interpret as being more suggestive than it was intended. Politico doesn't give us enough specifics to see where the alleged activity falls on that scale, so it's too soon to say one way or the other.
But even with all of that said, this looks pretty bad, and Cain's supporters may want to be careful in how exuberant they are in his defense. The responses we saw both last night and this morning make it look as if there is either some serious fire under all of this smoke or the Cain campaign is incompetent beyond description. It is now confirmed that Politico was working on this story and in contact with Cain's people for ten days before they went to press. In all that time, surely somebody must have sat down with the candidate and said, "Look… the storm is coming. This is going to go public. We have to be ready with an answer."
The answer they wound up going with was nothing short of disastrous, taking the form of an attempt at blaming the liberal media for reporting on it rather than denying or clarifying the story in a less damaging light. Cain's campaign spokesperson called in to Geraldo and flatly refused to answer the "did this or did this not happen" question, saying instead that the media should contact the restaurant association. The question was put to Herman Cain himself, who glared silently at the camera for an uncomfortable period before saying, "… have you ever been accused of sexual harassment?"
If there's a worse answer out there, I'm hard pressed to think what it might be, other than grabbing the reporter by the crotch and running away. With a week and a half to prepare, they had to be able to deliver better than this, and thus far it's all been fumbles coming out of the gate.
I'm seeing some other defenses and postures coming from Cain supporters this morning which should really be avoided. The first is the knee-jerk reaction to say, "But… but… BILL CLINTON!" Yes, we all know what nasty business Bubba got up to. But if the past several years have taught us anything, it's that liberals have beclowned themselves to the point of Bad Joke Status by responding to every criticism of President Obama with, "But.. but… BUSH!" Pointing out someone else who did something worse doesn't alter what your guy has done.
The second – and probably worse – line I'm seeing is an attempt to conflate this situation with that of Clarence Thomas. Aside from both cases involving a prominent black man they have little to nothing in common. Anita Hill emerged from obscurity years after the fact to level undocumented charges which couldn't be effectively substantiated only when Thomas was on the verge of ascending to the highest court in the land. The two women in question here apparently brought forth their complaints in a timely fashion and sought a resolution. They then seem to have remained silent on this and were not the ones who brought up the charges we're seeing this week. This gives them a lot more credibility than Anita Hill.
So who did leak this particular story? I've already received a number of e-mails from correspondents suggesting a variety of theories. One popular one is that the Cain campaign leaked it themselves to "rip the band aid off quickly" and get this out of the way well in advance of the general election. While that can be an effective strategy for candidates, I call baloney on it in this case. If this had come from the Cain campaign they would have been far better prepared with a response as opposed to the train wreck currently unfolding in the press.
Was it either Romney or Perry? Possible, I suppose, and if that's the case Politico's reporters would never out their original tipster. But somebody else might let it slip, so it would be a hugely risky move.
The best bet – and this is only a guess, mind you – is that somebody connected to the National Restaurant Association in some fashion who has an ax to grind with Cain decided to whisper in Politco's ear. Or perhaps just somebody familiar with the case from the 90's who wanted to feel important and be the hero for some reporters and make a big splash. Hard to say, really.
But, to wrap this up, from what we've seen thus far I think Politico has the goods on this one and they've got more that they're not letting out of the bag yet. (If they ever plan to do so at all.) There are too many people weighing in on the story for this to be complete fiction at this point, so Cain's defenders should be cautious about trying to lay this entirely at the feet of the liberal media. The question at this point is whether this will merely be a thorn in Cain's side or a gaping breach in the hull of his campaign's ship. We should know soon enough… probably after a week or ten days gives the story enough time to soak in nationally and then get a few new rounds of polling completed.

Thanks for putting this up.
I'll say it again, I and a large portion of the SI crowd have a different idea of what performing on a surfboard means. Like I said earlier, you have a go-fast, go-straight board and in your mind that is the epitome of efficiency. That's fine with me.
I think the surfer's idea of performance in this video have more in common with a lot of the SI users. In the video at 1:36 Beano tries a couple times to make a front side turn up the face of the wave. He tries this unsuccessfully then moves back further on the board to try again and still can't do it and finishes out the ride by jumping over the wave at 1:45.
Later, when Jay is on the board he seems to be riding further back on the board as well and getting bumped around pretty violently but still holding on at 3:18 you can see he is trying to trim up to find the high line and at 3:24 attempts a backside turn down the wave and the board proves to be too unstable for him to complete the turn. The later rides show him trying to carve but unable to as the back of the board is too deep in the water.
I know that these guy obviously don't know how to ride this board as you stated earlier. You ride closer to the nose than them. However, this video and their surfing also serve as examples of how the board they're riding, that shares similar design principles to your other boards, is able to catch waves and trim but fails when a carving turn is attempted.
Early on in the Naval Architecture of Planing Hull by Lindsay Lord he writes of the early Japanese and Italian PT boats with 1800 HP that "took ten boat lengths to turn, with speed falling off badly during the turn." We see evidence of this with your videos. These surfers attempted turns and were punished for it, you trim but attempt no turns. We've seen this many times through the videos you've provided.
Again, as I've said earlier, there is a problem with the definition of performance. In my opinion, your definition of performance is riding a wave for as long as possible with minimal movement. My definition of performance would also be riding a wave as long as possible but meanwhile, I try to see the top and bottom of the wave and with a powerful turn in there if possible.... throwing buckets if you will. That's just me and my level of progression right now. If you are at the top of the game for the boards you're making and riding how do you see them progressing? I see people riding modern surfboard doing backflips now. Where is the future performance of your designs going?

I acquired some older equipment and noticed that one of the bottom boards was made with the standard 3/4 inch hieght in the front and the boards ran a tapered slant to 1/4 inch in the back. No matter if you flipped it over it seemed to be the same on the other side. I like the concept since propping up the back with a piece of would is not needed if on a level surface.
Is this homemade? Anybody seen one like this? Any pro/con issues. Seems like a great thing but than I ask myself why don't I see more of this.

Pirates Surpass 20K In Season Ticket Sales
Attendance Continues To Rise
GREENVILLE - With the start of the Pirates' 2012 football campaign just a little over a month away, the East Carolina University Athletics Department has eclipsed the 20,000 mark in season ticket sales for the sixth-straight year.
Under head coach Ruffin McNeill, East Carolina set new school records during the 2011 season in total attendance (300,069) and average attendance (50,012) besting the previous marks of 297,987 and 49,665 - both set in 2010.
The success has been a reflection of growing season ticket sales at the box office, following a then-record of 16,258 in 2006 with a 22,000 number in 2007, a 21,160 total in 2008, a 21,293 figure in 2009, and a new standard of 23,436 in 2010, which was eclipsed last fall (24,188).
In addition to topping Conference USA in average attendance for the fourth-straight season, ECU stood first nationally among all Bowl Championship Series non-automatic qualifiers in 2011, which also ranked 40th among all 120 FBS programs.
The Pirates will kick off the 2012 campaign Sept. 1 inside ECU's 50,000-seat facility by renewing an in-state football rivalry with Appalachian State that covers 30 games and spans 80 years. Also scheduled to visit Greenville this fall are C-USA members UTEP (Sept. 29), Memphis (Oct. 13), Houston (Nov. 3) and Marshall (Nov. 24). East Carolina wraps up non-conference play by hosting Navy on Oct. 27. The Pirates will try to even the four-game series after edging the Midshipmen 38-35 in Annapolis a year ago.
Earlier this week East Carolina re-introduced its Summer Savings special, a limited 10-day football season ticket sales promotion, which began Monday, July 23rd, that will provide Pirate fans with their least expensive option to guarantee seats for all six home games in 2012.
Season tickets are still available and may be purchased online at www.ECUPirates.com or by calling the ECU Athletics Ticket Office at (252) 737-4500. More information is available by following ECU Athletic Ticketing and Marketing on Twitter at @ecutix or on Facebook via Peedees Promos.

Whenever you hear the word 'fast', your pulse starts racing. That's probably also why this catalogue caught your eye. You're intrigued by speed and aerodynamics.
Basically, you're a human speed machine, living life in the fast lane. That's why you might not have the time to flip through the whole catalogue. So here's a short summary of our new groundbreaking technology. In other words: the 'fast' version of our FAST-concept.
Most brands work in the same way, only focusing on streamlining the bike with droplet shaped tubes. For us, this is only the beginning. Our engineers, in their constant strive to develop the fastest bike in the world, analyzed aerodynamics to the bone.
Throughout years of in-depth wind tunnel testing, they discovered 3 major issues that cause drag and restrain the speed a bike can obtain. They found a solution for each one of them. The result: the FASTconcept. A tripod concept containing 3 groundbreaking technologies.

They look perfect Will. Beautiful work.
First thing is to get rid of the "G" , built on NDS-1 rec. with really nice red laminate wood furniture . Machine marks removed from bolt and carrier and given a nice polish.
They look perfect Will. Beautiful work.
as always, look'in good Will!

Great looking builds! Thanks, Will
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
Polishing the bolt. Yup been doing the same thing on my recent builds. Does make for a cleaner look.
Beautiful job on those.

the other 7% lie.

Living in a swamp I did a little experiment. I left AK parts, as they came, out in the shed. Damn did they start to rust. But not the bolt or carrier.
So me and a buddy got to think about polishing, no not our knobs Icarus, wire wheel, the bolt carrier.
We did and left it outside for a few weeks. No rust.
My guess is they started bluing them for military purposes. No reflection in combat.
So there yah go. Polish your your bolt carrier.

First of all, I say that's not for my baby on the way because we have almost decided on her name. So if you like to help only parents naming their child-to-be, feel free to skip this post.
Recently I noticed people started using nicknames on it own. I love the idea because there are so many wonderful nickname that do no need to be a short form of something. I've heard Evie, Lulu, Nellie, Hattie() and Lottie. The latter one made me think seriously. I really love Lottie on its own but only can imagine in on a child or a young woman, not a grown-up or a old lady. Maybe that's because I don't know any Lotties but I wonder : what do you think of using Lottie as a full name? And could you think of some names that can be shortened to Lottie(besides Charlotte)?

I actually do see Lottie on an old woman, as well as on a young child/teen. It's just on a grown-up I have trouble seeing it. It is not a horrible name though, and I think there are people who could pull it off. I think it would be better as a nn for any of these names,
I'm sure there are more, but these are the names I thought of right away, to go with LottieIf I had a baby right now, I'd name it,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- September 26, 2012
Contact: Kevin Kelly (573) 751-9300
JEFFERSON CITY---The Missouri Public Service Commission has approved a request filed by Missouri Gas Energy (MGE) to adjust the infrastructure system replacement surcharge (ISRS) on the bills of its natural gas customers. The surcharge first appeared on customer bills in April 2004.
The ISRS adjustment reflects infrastructure replacement investments made by the natural gas company from October 1, 2011 through May 30, 2012. These costs for natural gas pipeline replacements and relocations are not currently included in MGE's rates. The surcharge change also reflects an adjustment made to three previous MGE ISRS filings.
MGE provides natural gas service to approximately 500,000 customers in Missouri.

Originally I wanted a manual transmission LX, but the lack of power windows and door locks always bugged me; specially since in Canada and Europe (or anywhere in the world) they offer manual transmissions with the power package LX. Regardless, due to being short of time I was not able to wait another month till the dealerships in my area received a manual hatch LX. So I ended up buying an automatic 6 speed LX with the power package. So she is silver with a black interior. The car drives rather nice and it is a big change from my 1994 cherokee 4.0, specially when it comes to fuel consumption! The list of standard features is impressive, to say the least! And though it isn't a speed demon, it can pass on the highway without a problem. Plus, if I want to have fun I still have my yamaha to get my need for speed But yes, 4 days in and 290 miles later: I am a happy camper so far!
Congrats Ivan!
-Dequindre-:Congrats Ivan!Thank you, good sir! I will definitely enjoy the hell out of this thing. Even if everyone calls it "cute", lol...
I love switching from a gas guzzler to an econobox. My 65 Mustang was like that. It got about 16 mpg and was filled up every 200 miles or so. Not friendly on the wallet especially when I was driving 38 miles one way to go to school. I switched to a Neon Coupe DOHC 5M and the difference was astounding. I only had to fill it up once every three weeks. 16 mpg to 38 mpg was a huge difference.Anyway, enough about me, congrats on the car!! When we going to see some pics?

DONETSK, Ukraine >> The eastern city of Donetsk was in turmoil Tuesday a day after government forces used fighter jets to stop pro-Russia separatists from taking over the airport. The mayor said 40 people were killed and went on television to urge residents to stay at home.
The city of 1 million was engulfed by fighting Monday when rebels moved to seize the airport, Ukraine's second largest. They were repelled by government forces using combat jets and helicopter gunships. Associated Press journalists witnessed intensive gun fire throughout the day and into the night. Plumes of black smoke rose into the air and officials shut down Donetsk airport and nearby streets to traffic amid the fighting.
Donetsk mayor Oleksandr Lukyanchenko was quoted by the local news portal Ostrovas saying that 40 people, including two civilians, were killed in Monday's fighting.
The bodies of about 30 insurgents were brought Tuesday to a hospital morgue in Donetsk, said Leonid Baranov of the separatist Donetsk People's Republic, who was at the Kalinin morgue. The fighters had been wounded and were being transported to a hospital in a truck when it was shot up by government forces, Baranov said.
He said other fighters also were killed but their bodies had not been recovered because they were in areas under government control. He said hundreds were wounded in the fighting as well.
AP journalists saw many dead bodies piled up at the Kalinin morgue but could not immediately count them or confirm Baranov's statements.
The battles came as billionaire candy magnate Petro Poroshenko claimed victory in Sunday's presidential vote, which authorities in the capital of Kiev had hoped would unify the deeply divided nation. Poroshenko, who is yet to be sworn in, has vowed to negotiate a peaceful end to the insurgency in the east, but also has called the separatists "Somali pirates" and promised he would stop them from sowing more chaos.
Early Tuesday, unidentified men stormed Donetsk's main ice hockey arena and set it ablaze, according to the mayor's office. The arena, owned by a local Ukrainian lawmaker, was to host the 2015 world championships.
By Tuesday morning, the Donetsk airport was under full government control, Ukraine's acting Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said, adding that dozens of insurgents may have been killed in the fighting but government forces did not suffer any casualties.
In the neighboring Luhansk region, which like Donetsk has declared independence from the central government, the Ukrainian Border Guards Service said its officers fought a gunbattle with a group of gunmen who were trying to break through the border from Russia. It said one intruder was wounded and the border guards seized several vehicles loaded with Kalashnikov assault rifles, rocket grenade launchers and explosives.
The interim government in Kiev has pledged to press ahead with the operation against insurgents, which has angered local residents, many of whom see the government as nationalists bent on repressing Russian speakers in the east.
Speaking at a televised government session on Tuesday, Vitaly Yarema, a deputy prime minister, said the "anti-terrorist operation" in eastern Ukraine will go on "until all the militants are annihilated."
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov voiced strong concern Tuesday about the interim authorities' decision to intensify the military operation in the east and called for an immediate end to fighting.
Poroshenko, known for his pragmatism, supports building strong ties with Europe but also has stressed the importance of mending relations with Moscow. Upon claiming victory, he said his first step as president would be to visit the troubled east. He said he hoped Russia would support his efforts to bring stability and that he wanted to hold talks with Moscow.
Lavrov welcomed Poroshenko's promise to negotiate with people in the east and said Moscow was ready for direct talks with Poroshenko. He also pointedly said Russia doesn't want the United States and the European Union as mediators.
But Ukraine's acting Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Ukraine has no intention of talking to Russia directly.
"The government's stance is unchanged: bilateral talks without the presence of the United States and the European Union do not seem possible under current conditions," he said.
Moscow has denied accusations by the authorities in Kiev and the West that it has fomented the insurgency in eastern Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin annexed the Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula of Crimea in March but has stonewalled the eastern insurgents' appeal to join Russia.
Putin has also welcomed the Ukrainian presidential election in an apparent bid to de-escalate tensions with the West, which hit his inner circle with sanctions for the annexation of Crimea.
Russia has kept pushing for Ukraine to decentralize its government, which would give more power to the regions, including those in the east, and allow Moscow to keep those areas in its sphere of influence.
Nataliya Vasilyeva and Laura Mills in Kiev, Ukraine and Vladimir Isachenkov in Moscow contributed to this report.

Do current products enhance athletes' health and performance?
David Senchina
Echinacea is purported to boost defense against upper respiratory infections, so athletes use it primarily to offset the deleterious effects of intense training on immunity. Although the general public uses the genus name as the common name, genus Echinacea is comprised of nine species (some divided into subspecies). The three species most often used commercially are Echinacea angustifolia, E. pallida and E. purpurea.
Bioactive molecules produced by these species include alkamides, organic molecules made of fatty acids often found in plants, and phenols, another class of organic molecules also dubbed carbolic acids that are known for their acidity. Phenols encompass caffeic acid derivatives, echinacoside and ketones; distributions and quantities of these molecules vary by species. It is important to differentiate these molecules because the body processes them differently and they have different effects. Alkamides move from gut to bloodstream apparently unmodified within an hour. Complex carbohydrates have largely been discounted by multiple studies due to their inability to move from gut to bloodstream without modification. Roots contain the highest levels of these compounds, but oftentimes manufacturers will instead harvest aboveground parts, such as leaves and stems, to allow the plants to regrow and thus provide multiple harvests per planting. In North America, echinacea is most widely consumed as capsules or tablets.
Only five studies have been published concerning in vivo dosing of athletes with echinacea supplements (Figure 6). Studies by Aloys Berg of Albert Ludwigs University and collaborators and Heather Hall of Elmhurst College and collaborators reported reduced incidence or duration of upper respiratory infection events after intense exercise (such as competitive sprint triathlons or laboratory sprint cycling) in athletes dosed with E. purpurea supplements for four weeks either before or after a scheduled bout of exercise. The reduced incidence of infections was corroborated by molecular immunological data from blood, saliva and urine samples, demonstrating increases in circulating concentrations of certain antibodies and changes in circulating concentrations of several signaling molecules important in regulating inflammation (see Figure 6). White blood cells are the cells associated with the immune system, but no changes in white blood cell subsets or counts were identified. Taken together, the findings suggest that echinacea may reduce incidence and severity of upper respiratory infections by changing the quantities of immune molecules produced by white blood cells, rather than changing other aspects of white blood cells, such as their rate of multiplication or specific functions. In further support of the link between echinacea, exercise and upper respiratory infections, Roland Schoop and colleagues at Bioforce AG in Switzerland reported reduced incidence and duration of self-reported upper-respiratory-infection symptoms in athletes dosed in a similar manner to those in the previous two studies, when compared to a control group generalized from control data in previous studies.
Looking at physiological parameters important in athletic performance, Malcolm Whitehead, now at Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas, published two reports with colleagues from Troy University, College of Charleston and the University of Southern Mississippi on a recreational group of athletes, dosed with E. purpurea for four weeks and compared to placebo-treated controls. They found that common measures of aerobic performance—maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), running economy (oxygen use efficiency) and erythropoietin (a hormone that controls red blood cell genesis)—were higher among the echinacea-treated group than among controls. However, the authors reported no differences in total red blood cell count, hemoglobin (the molecule within red blood cells that carries oxygen) or hematocrit (packed red blood cell volume) between the two groups. The fact that there were no changes in red blood cell–associated parameters but there were changes in performance parameters is difficult to interpret but may suggest that echinacea supplementation influences performance by modulating oxygen dynamics or metabolism at body sites distinct from the red blood cells themselves. Other scientific teams report relatively good tolerability and low side effects from echinacea supplements, although interactions with certain prescription medications have been documented.
In contrast to studies in athletes, studies of echinacea supplementation in the general population have yielded conflicting findings, likely due to the confounding factors discussed previously. Our team has endeavored to reduce the problem of preclinical factor variation by translating the concepts from our seed-to-stomach model into an experimental design adapted for athletic applications (Figure 7). We opted for an ex vivo approach, where white blood cells were taken from study participants before and after an acute exercise bout and then treated with echinacea extracts in the laboratory. This method, although less representative of the organismal context, allows us to more tightly control some variables.
We initially worked with white blood cells from resting donors to establish the effects of key preclinical factors. Several interesting findings accrued; for example, our lab and others have repeatedly demonstrated that different echinacea species vary in the way they modulate the immune system, probably because of differences in plant chemistry. We showed how deliberate choices in species, plant organ, solvent and extraction method influenced cell growth rates and production rates of immune system signaling molecules.
After the work in resting subjects we incorporated an acute exercise component, still controlling for the preclinical factors as we had in our previous studies. Early work conducted on teams of wrestlers and soccer players showed that the different species of echinacea plant, given in tincture form to the players' white blood cells cultured under laboratory conditions, resulted in different effects on signaling molecules important during infection (Figure 8). We also showed that acute exercise changed how echinacea supplements interacted with the white blood cells. However, we have since switched to testing athletes individually on treadmills and stationary bicycles so we can better ensure that the amount of exercise is more consistent across subjects.
Collectively, data from studies of echinacea in athletes suggest that different species of echinacea have different effects on the human body, that exercise changes these effects and that effects are cell- and body site–specific. The work also suggests that preclinical factors have not been adequately accounted for across studies; further, preclinical factors are expected to vary greatly between manufacturers and even between batches from the same manufacturer. Given that awareness, and the understanding that so few studies have been conducted and often with small sample sizes, one cannot conclusively argue for or against the use of echinacea by athletes.

I sort of messed up last week when I started a new batch of Mead.
I thought I had some EC-1118 in the fridge so I mixed up 20 pounds of honey and water with out first checking to be sure I had the yeast. When I found that I had used it all I ordered some on line but got nervous about a wild yeast starting up before I would get the mail order. I ran to Wally World and got some Star Bakers Yeast and tossed a pack of that in and it is bubbling along quite nicely and now my EC-1118 arrived today. I'm wondering if there will be a large difference in alcohol content and sweetness if I let the bakers yeast run its course or should I wait until it stops working and then dump the EC-1118 in and hope for a secondary fermentation that will give it a little more kick with a little less sticky sweetness..

text: Adult health screenings Recommendations for adult health screenings Having regular health screenings is one of the most important things you can do for yourself, because finding problems when they're small is the best way to prevent more serious medical issues down the road. Which screenings to have when? That depends on your age, gender and any possible risk factors. These are guidelines for healthy people with few risk factors. Check with your doctor about how the screening schedule should be personalized for you. All adults Blood pressure: every 2 years, for prevention of heart disease and stroke Fasting blood test for cholesterol: every 5 years beginning at age 35 for men and age 45 for women for prevention of heart disease and stroke Colorectal cancer screening: Screening for colorectal cancer should begin at age 50. African Americans should begin screening at age 45. A colonoscopy can actually prevent cancer. Learn more. Dental checkup: Every 6 to 12 months Fasting blood glucose: Every 3 years for adults over age 45 for diabetes prevention Glaucoma: To prevent blindness, African-Americans should be screened after 40, because the incidence of glaucoma in this population is much higher. Other adults should be screened age 65 and older, or yearly if you are severely near-sighted, diabetic or have a family history of glaucoma. Know your numbers: Blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose are all a part of Legacy's Know Your Numbers heart health screenings. The screening fee is $35 and offered at various Legacy sites. It includes education information and a one-on-one consultation. Register online at Classes/Events for Heart and Vascular Health. Vision exam: every 2 to 4 years, even if you don't need vision correction; yearly after age 65 Just for women Mammogram: Every year beginning at age 40. Learn more. Pap smear/HPV test: Start cervical cancer screening at age 21. Learn more. Bone density test: Every 5 years beginning at age 50 for prevention of osteoporosis Just for men Prostate screening: The PSA blood test is the most common screening tool for prostate cancer, but a high level of PSA can also be caused by other conditions such as urinary infection. Talk with your primary care physician about the risks and benefits of prostate screening.

Tough choices. I'm a lefty so I really like the P2000/ P30 setup for controls. I have both the P30 (not the L) and a USP in 40 S&W with the safety lever on the RH side. They both feel good but very different in my hand. You don't mention anything about carry so I assume you are looking for the range in which case some of the many refinements found on the P30 may or may not be worth the price difference to you.
The Expert model is likely the ultimate for the range/target/match at about twice the cost of the USP but I have never shot one. Between the P30 and USP quality, reliability and performance I would rank as being equal with ergonomics, asthetics and in my examples the trigger on the P30 being a little smoother. Best bang for buck workhorse I would say is the USP in my humble opinion but again it depends largely on what you intend to use it for. I won't part with either one of mine for what it's worth.

Discussion in 'BUILD OFF 5 BIKES' started by Rat Rod, Apr 30, 2010.
Use this thread to discuss anything relating this build off.
Edit needed in rules. "Finished RRBBO 4"
great! :x i was gonna call my bike monkey panic! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Is there a cutoff date for starting an entry thread? I'd like to try to get something going for this, but realistically won't have an idea and parts together for a bit.
is karfer going to put together a trophy for this one :?:
:lol: :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6Uop5glhYo
Cool, thanks.
well :?:
as per my own rule i made up the winner of the previous year has to make the trophy for the following year so yes i will be making the trophy for this year's build off. hmmm what should i make?
Throw together a bike and pinstripe it from wheel to wheel...
okay since theres 2 roth car inspired builds whos doing this one?
and this one?
and some one ought to do a brown neck bandito tribute as well....
hmmm. well im doing sam barris style so i cant. :roll:
should I or shouldn't I
I couldn't finnish that last build off , but I do have a stack of bikes to build ????
what the heck,, count me in
As a fellow CWC builder I welcome all CWC's. There may be 7 CWC frames but there are 4 different types with the straight/curved top bars, straight/curved chain stays and a 24" by "stretch". On top of that every builder has his own idea of what he wants it to look like so I think seeing all the different bikes/builds will be interesting. With a possible 200 entrants by August there are sure to be many frames of the same manufacturer. I wouldn't think anything of a dozen Schwinns all built differently. AND, I'm anxious to see this terrible terrorizing trio that you referred to. I vote "Stick With The CWC".
I still want to participate in this one this year, but it's going to be tight on time. I need to find a good frame in my stash and brainstorm some ideas... I could make a standard rat bike, to match my chopper... but I'm thinking I might give the trophy a shot this year! We'll see. You guys will be the first to know.
I'm looking forward to seeing the various CWC builds and hope there are a few more to come.......bike has great lines and many variations of sheetmetal.
This is going to be a fun buildoff!!
I sure hope fsjaak joins in!!!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Yeah...I was just thinking about his space logs...ha ha. :lol:
haha we should nick name him captain kirk. :lol:
Separate names with a comma.

Can anyone tell me the diameter of the JZBZ queen cage tube. I need to drill a hole that will hold one as in a bank
Can anyone tell me the diameter of the JZBZ queen cage tube. I need to drill a hole that will hold one as in a bank
I Im thinking on banking queens my self, I havent found much on the web as to the construction of a bank but have been thinking on using a queen cage like the ones sold by Dadant due to it having a hole for the cand as well as an access. You may call Dadant as they have sevral types of cages?
I thought I could help you out with that without any problems, but unfortunately, I can't seem to find my JZBZ queen cages.
But, what I WAS able to find are my JZBZ queen batteries (orange plastic queen shipping box) along with a JZBZ Storage Bar (for storing caged queens in a bank).
In the battery box, the holes are .500 inches (12.71 mm) in diameter. In the storage bar, they seem to run .480 inches (12.21 mm) in diameter. They both have a depth of .600 inches (15.26 mm). These were both made by JZBZ for use with his queen cages.
Hope that helps!
Just buy the storage bar. They hold 46 cages that securely snap in and are the proper length to lay in a nursery hive between two frames.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Found my queen cages!
The tube is slightly tapered. At the opening, it's .480 inch in diameter (12.21mm), and at the end of the tube where it meets the cage body it's right at .500 inch in diameter (12.69mm).
Hope THAT helps!

One would think the insurers of these projects would mandate the erection of video monitors to be able to watch over these sites. The knowledge that your on candid camera has caught many a thief and prevented untold thousands by those who are deterred by signs that say something like "smile your under surveillance. The signs must of course be in English and Spanish.

I agree that the insurers should have had video cameras installed, but the Danville Police are down the street. Were these guys asleep or what??

text: By- Dr. Jonathan WoodBeing admitted to the hospital is can be scary and traumatic… for the patient and for the patient's family.Being critically ill, needing invasive procedures or having a hospitalized child all accentuate these feelings The medical lingo is difficult to understand, the issues discussed often carry great importance, and there are often unanswered questions. What's more, caretakers often seem to be overworked or in a hurry. And then money is invariably an issue: missed work, inadequate insurance, childcare needs, day-to-day living away from home, etc. More stress.In the end, many people report a sense of "loss of controlâ€. What can be done?Arrgghhhh!While I cannot offer a fix for the sometimes beleaguered state of modern medicine, I will suggest one central thing that can help with all the above: improved communication. And much of it is within your control.Some suggestions:Ask questionso Who are you? Insist that people introduce themselves and explain their role in your care. Where do they fit in the lists above?o Why are we doing this? Insist on understanding why tests are being done and what is going to happen with the information.o May I speak with my doctor? Ideally there is one doctor orchestrating all of your care. Ideally there is excellent communication between doctors and amongst all the participants in the care team. Insist on a team and a good leader.Learn the system (i.e. who are all these people?)Hospitals depend upon a complex system of personnel that is often very confusing and very difficult to understand. Examples:o Primary Care docs (e.g. Internist, Family Practitioner, Pediatrician)o Inpatient Specialists (e.g. Hospitalist, Intensivist)o Specialists (e.g. Surgeon, Psychiatrist, OB-Gyn)o Sub-Specialists (e.g. Cardiologist, Neurologist, Orthopedic surgeon)o Midlevel Providers (e.g. Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant)o Nurses (e.g. bedside nurse, charge nurse)o Ancillary Personnel (e.g. Respiratory Therapy, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Nutritionists, Social Workers, Care Managers)o Trainees (e.g. residents, nursing students, medical students)Tell your caretakers your worries – don't be afraid to tell people what concerns you or what would make you more comfortable. Nothing is off limits!Leave your biases at homeo Believe in the system – Much of believing is understanding. Work to understand the system (see above) and increased confidence will follow. o Don't worry about offending – Doctors are people – – you can talk to them like you talk to anyone. Sometimes people feel intimidated, but it is important to move beyond this. Be yourself. Remember: you are the consumer. Be polite and expect the same in return.o Gender – The days of female nurses and male doctors are long over. Do not make assumptions based on gender and treat all your caretakers with respect. Insist on the same in return.o Teaching Hospitals – Much of the best care in the US is delivered in teaching hospitals. No one is experimenting on you. On the contrary, these are often very concerned, very smart, and often less busy students or residents who can be very helpful in you quest for quality healthcare. Take advantage of the opportunity!o Culture Differences – Maine attracts caregivers from all cultures. These people are invariably well trained and very caring. Treat them with respect and expect the same in reverse. If accents are difficult to understand, be frank, polite, and patient.Know what is expected of you and your family when you are dischargedo Ask questionso Get to know your "care manager†or "discharge plannerâ€o Be sure you understand your medications and doses (including changes from when your arrived)o Have instructions repeated as many times as it take to understando Know who you need to see after leaving and where and when.While these suggestions won't make being hospitalized fun, they may take some of the unnecessary fear and anxiety out of the process. In the end, remember… communication is the key!
