Our crew on board Tactical Directions for the rally was Big Tone, and Amorica and myself. The sail had everything from squalls, beautiful sailing conditions, no wind to just pleasant sailing. Tone was tremendous as during the middle of the night one night he had to go to the end of the bow sprit and release and reconnect a pin, all while the boat was pitching up and down. We crossed the line on July 25th with less than 10 boats ahead of us, with many of them having motored much more than us. Trillium, a Farrier 31' trimarine with nothing in it won and sailed all the way
Immediately upon arrival we headed for a cold beer at Teddy's Bar which is right on the Kupang beach where you are in easy view of the boats at anchor. There was a welcoming party where all three of us really got into the dancing and it was such a great timedrinking and socialising with everyone and a great atmosphere to be forging some friendships that are still so close even today, 3 years down the track.
The highlight though was our trip inland to see a highland village that about 8 of us wanted to do. Now you have to understand that Kupang is a sleepy town normally and when the yachts come once a year its a big thing and the people start to see the dollar signs in their eyes. You learn to accept this....to a certain degree. We found out that there are many scam artists on the prowl.
To set the scene - there were many so called tour operators that all were meant to be working either with Ted's bar, or the rally itself. So one guy comes up to Ginny (Ascension) and myself offering us this unbelievable deal to see this remote mountain village. He spins us this line that we will have our own luxury van, 4WD, good seats etc. Lunch will be served as will afternoon tea - one day - cheap cheap
Next morning we meet dead on 6am. Don is there waiting. He tells us "so sorry, the van has gone as he couldn't wait" - we all say but you told us 6am and it is only 6am. Don says don't worry he has another van organised. 10mins later a van/bus pulls up. We all hop on. Off on our adventure! Pretty soon it becomes apparent that this is not a private van, but rather the local bus as it kept stopping and picking up people, pigs, dogs, etc and dropping them off. A few angry glances to Don but he says don't worry, private van at the next town.
We finally arrive at this town where we were all told to get off. We linger and walk around a local market as Don told us to wait as the van was not there yet. So we wander around but just one look at Don told us that in fact he had no van lined up - he was out negotiating with local taxt drivers to get us a ride to the village. Well he finally gets us a van!!! If you could call it that. This van was so old and the seats so uncomfortable, but, we've come this far....what the heck?? So in we go, cramped as it was - everyone was looking at each other in disbelief and then Ginny and I had these cold hard stares....you got us into this....!!
Well I have to say that had to be the worst trip I've taken. We went up and down mountains, through creek beds, villages, ravines and everything a geologist on a new field trip is likely to cover. Thing is though, WE PUSHED THE VAN UP HILLS!!! Yep, this thing was no 4WD, it was lucky to be one wheel drive! We all had to get out and push on many occassions and going down the sides of these steep cliffs - well I had bruising on my arm as Amorica sitting beside me had a vice like grip to ward off her anxiety...it was like, "Tony, this is your fault I'm here!"
After about 4 hours of travelling we did indeed come upon this mountain village where we were welcomed in the traditional style, the men were presented with what to me was a Koftan by the elders of the village. A donation of course was then given (I wonder how much of this Don pocketed?)and we were then shown through the village and all their handicrafts.
After a couple of hours at the village the trek home was to look forward to .....NOT!
The same scenario happened again, stopping, pushing etc until finally we reached the town where the van was hired. After clearly a big argument between the van owner and Don, which to us had to be because Don was trying to screw him also, we transferred to another bus which took us back to Kupang where another argument ensued with Don.
This we all thought was the start of Indonesia, so we didn't have a pleasant experience dealing with this character. We reported him to the staff of Ted's Bar as Don had been wearing a badge indicating he was a staff member. What Ted did we have no idea - all we know is that we paid to see the village of Boti and we got to see it - but not how we were promised. What's that old adage, "once bitten twice shy" - a good lesson.
PS: As a postscript to this. I was in Raffles Marina in Singapore and who should come up to me and ask if I wanted him to clean my boat...you guessed it! Don! Apparently he had signed on to a big boat that was goind to Thailand but he was told to leave in Singapore. Wonder why! You can also guess what I said to him!!!!!!!!!!!

Town Square
Christie Shunned by Republicans, But He Assures Voters His Appetite for Victory Remains Insatiable
Original post made by Republican Rebounder, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Feb 25, 2013
It remains unclear if the ACU will change its mind, but Christie's absence at the largest annual gathering of conservatives would likely end up raising questions, as the group has rounded up a thorough collection of potential GOP 2016 presidential candidates -- all included on the list of initial invitees -- to address the conference.
Govs. Rick Perry of Texas and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana added their names in the past week to a guest list that already features Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wisc.), former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) and fiery orator Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who has been named as the event's keynote speaker. Asked about the apparent snub of the New Jersey Governor, Christie's public relations director, Duncan Donettae, replied: "Why would the Governor of the great state of New Jersey want to weigh in with that cast of losers?"
Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin have also accepted speaking roles at the high-profile conference, the latter to speak on the need of Christian children to be fitted with eyewear early on in their educational careers to become "the next generation of patriot job-creating heroes who have given so very much to this great country which was built on the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence back when this country was under duress as it is today especially with the Democrats attempting to bankrupt all of our small business men and women who serve this country so valiantly in making the profits they do just as our Founding Fathers and especially George Washington intended back when this country's exceptionalism wasn't questioned by so many unpatriotic people who think of themselves as elitists first, God-fearing Christians second or even third."
While Christie's approval rating and support remain high in New Jersey, the governor has had a complicated relationship with national Republicans over the past year. His speech at last year's Republican National Convention was criticized for being overly long and crushingly dull. Christie also drew the ire of national Republicans when he offered high praise for President Barack Obama in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, just days before the November elections. Jed Whildasser, one of Christie's severest critics, took aim at the Governor when he stressed how in rushing to the faux needs of so many New Jerseyans in a period of faux distress, and then posturing to the lower classes as he did along with President Barack Obama, Christie forfeited any good standing he had in the Republican Party."

I have to concur with Duncan Donettae.

As usual, CPAC would prefer to remain ideologically pure than get elected. They'll speechify, and complain in thinly-veiled, status-related terms about the Incumbent, and nod and tell each other it's all just about the messaging, and not the old, tired and retrograde message that's The Problem. They forget that they've already wrung all the deception that there is from linguistic wizardry. Marco Rubio the savior of the GOP? HA! -- Christie would carve him up and devour him for a midnight snack. Some punishment, that snub -- more like a badge of electability.
If they're unwise enough to not nominate a Moderate in 2016 (and they are), they'd better start thinking about 2024.

Meh. The way the political climate is turning, Christie will be at an advantage distancing himself from the far right. The difficulty, however, remains in the primaries-- can't see him getting very far without appeasing the radicals in the party. And therein lies the problem with the current Republican party...

Obesity is an indication of malnutrition. I think that Christie needs medical help.

I tell you, if Christie is chosen as the Republican Presidential candidate, I might actually vote Republican. Sounds like someone who won't let the party line dictate his actions. I like that.

Christie probably doesn't stand a chance surviving the Republican primary. I personally don't think he is presidential timber. Quick to anger, too often speaks without thinking first. Don't know what to think about his weight problem. But someone as obese as he is obviously has some psychological issues that need dealing with. My hunch is that if he doesn't hand them over to a therapist, they'll come spilling out once he's under national spotlight.

Sad that there is a CPAC, injecting faux religious superstitions into our governmental process...as phony as the ridiculous pope process. CPAC 'purists' is why Romney's not President...they make the candidates promise & pander, otherwise they'll not vote. Sadly, it's all about issues that candidates shouldn't even be discussing in the first place and ends up scaring more voters than it gains.
Sure wish we could stick to economic issues, and leave personal lives to the persons! MYOB and I'll mind mine.

What is so cute is that the Republican party knows how to self destruct! tee hee...
I wonder if that is their goal...if they don't like you, they harm all Republicans? so funny...
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Feb 28, 2013 at 10:24 pm
You're right Cholo, when they spout off with zero clue about 'winning', talk phony 'purity' and as candidates spew stupidity, ALL other Republicans are harmed. It's usually the ones who 'trash' mainstream Republicans, but don't have enough spine to run under their own ticket, and cowardly end up running as a Republican...but a lousy one. ...and they are the ones unable to mind their own business, instead intrude and meddle into personal lives of others....pests
Don't miss out on the discussion!

What is EBSCO's A-to-Z
EBSCO's A-to-Z
service provides library patrons with a single, comprehensive online list of titles to which they have access. With A-to-Z, users can quickly locate and link to journals of interest. Users can search for journals by keyword or browse an alphabetical list by title or subject. Built-in administrative tools allow customization of the list including extensive branding options that allow the list to match the colors and style of the library's other Web-based services. Our A-to-Z service is designed to help you manage your full-text content from databases, publisher packages and gateway sites. With A-to-Z, you and your end-users can find out if you have the full-text to a title by searching directly from your A-to-Z list or linking from a database to your A-to-Z list.
What titles are included in A-to-Z?
The master A-to-Z title database provides link and coverage information to more than 460,000 unique titles from more than 3,600 databases and e-journals packages. All major database vendors and publishers are represented. A library's print titles can also be included.
Can I link into my A-to-Z list from other databases or catalogs and vice versa?
Yes; link-in functionality is built-in to A-to-Z. Linking out of A-to-Z to other resources is done through the EBSCO
feature. CustomLinks can be simple links to the "front-door" of a service, or they can include metadata (open URL) that transfers information to the resource you wish to link to. For example, you might link from your A-to-Z list to your online catalog so your users will remember to check your print holdings (or you can add your print holdings and titles to your A-to-Z list using the upload feature).
How do I add titles to my list?
A-to-Z has an easy-to-use, interactive online Title Wizard you can use to upload titles. A-to-Z also provides the unique capability of allowing you to download your list to your local computer, make changes to your local copy of the list and then upload those changes back to A-to-Z for real-time updates.
If you already have a title list, you can use the Upload feature as an alternative to the Title List Wizard for setting up your list. This is an easy way to add custom titles to your list that aren't available in the Title List Wizard. For example, you could upload your print-format titles with links to your catalog. You can also modify title attributes that are custom to your organization, such as the local holdings flag for each title.
Can I add my print titles, Web sites, e-books or other information to my A-to-Z list?
Yes; you can add any title from your collection to your list via the List Upload feature in the A-to-Z Admin site. Titles added that are not listed in A-to-Z's master titles database are considered custom resources and will not be managed by EBSCO. Updates to the coverage, URLs, etc., of these titles must be maintained by the library.
How do I specify my institution's coverage information (i.e., customize the coverage dates that display)?
You may specify custom coverage information using the Upload feature. You may either use your own list, or download the list of titles you currently have from your A-to-Z Admin site. Specify coverage information using CustomCoverageBegin and CustomCoverageEnd columns on your file. Each column will hold 100 characters. Save your file in a tab-delimited text format and upload to A-to-Z. This information will be displayed as "Your Access" on the Reader site with the coverage information specified.
Can I use my organization's logo or apply other branding?
Yes; A-to-Z comes equipped with easy-to-use branding tools that allow you to change the logo, customize headers and footers, display custom messages and more. The A-to-Z Admin site has three easy sections for branding and customizing your list.
How often is my list updated?
A-to-Z title data comes from several sources. EBSCO's Title Information Department updates data as soon as it is received. Data is updated in real time, bi-weekly, weekly and monthly depending on the source and the type of update. You can make changes such as editing your list, managing proxy settings, adding custom coverage, branding and more in real time.
Who updates the links?
This depends on the source of the data. EBSCO updates and maintains the links and other data for resources in our managed database. If you choose to upload custom titles, such as your print titles or titles on CD-ROM, you are responsible for updating and maintaining the links and data for those titles.
Can I use a proxy server?
Yes; indicate which links should be routed through your proxy server in the Proxy Server section within your A-to-Z Admin site.
Does A-to-Z comply with International Coalition of Library Consortia's (ICOLC) guidelines?
Does A-to-Z provide usage reports?
Yes; usage data is gathered that can produce reports on overall usage (sessions, searches and link-outs), usage of a specific journal (link-out by target) or overlap analysis for your collection. Reports are easily and instantly generated from the A-to-Z Admin site and reflect usage for your time zone. EBSCO's A-to-Z service complies with ICOLC (
) standards and does not use a client's usage data for any purpose unless written consent is obtained.
Who hosts my list?
A-to-Z is hosted on EBSCO's Web servers, requiring only the addition of a single link to your list on your Web site.
Does A-to-Z support or display embargo information?
Embargo information is integrated into the coverage display. For example, a title with full text available from January 1995 forward in a particular aggregation that has a six-month embargo on that title would have its coverage reported as "1995 to present (Embargo: 6 months)."
Can I receive free training on A-to-Z?
We provide free A-to-Z training via Web conferencing.
Who do I call for support?
A-to-Z Customer Support is available Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. – 5 p.m., CDT. You may contact them by phone (1-877-327-2622 inside North America or 205-981-4000 Worldwide). Select option 2 for A-to-Z. Fax: +1.205.408.6190. E-mail:
How much does A-to-Z cost?
EBSCO A-to-Z is very competitively priced. The charge is based on the number of unique titles in your title list. With its user-friendly interface and extensive administrative tools, A-to-Z is a true bargain. And you may be eligible for one of several discounts. Contact your nearest EBSCO Regional Office for a personalized price quote.
How does EBSCO count titles/how am I charged?
EBSCO counts unique titles in your list. For example, if a title is available to your library from multiple databases, the title will be counted only one time for pricing purposes. It will display once in your list with the multiple locations displayed.
Can I obtain MARC records for my catalog?
EBSCO MARC Updates is a valuable add-on to EBSCO A-to-Z. This comprehensive service provides a customizable file in MARC 21 format representing the library's e-resource holdings, title URLs and online coverage information. It supplies quality bibliographic records from CONSER and monthly updates to facilitate online catalog maintenance. A holdings change report is now included for A-to-Z with MARC customers. Using the information, which is delivered as a Microsoft
Excel file, customers can quickly see changes made to their A-to-Z account.
How long is a trial for A-to-Z?
Trials are 90-days.

A Polish last name. Some of them are shy and laid back while others are annoyingly cocky, and loud.The shy ones are very mysterious people, and usually give others very weird vibes...Most wygonik's are very handy with tools, and building things. Also, if they try they seem to be good at just about everything they put their mind to it. What really gets them ticked off is the mis-pronounciation of the name. The majority of people will say "wi-guh-nik" or "why-go-nik.
Get it right you son of a bitch! It's Wygonik!!!

Kordia Group chief executive Geoff Hunt is leaving his post after eight years leading the state-owned company and his position is being disestablished.
After joining two of its units - Orcon and Kordia Networks - to create Kordia New Zealand in October last year, Hunt said today that Kordia engineering and field services operation would also be merged into this new business.
Kordia New Zealand along with the group's business across the Tasman - Kordia Solutions Australia - will now report directly to the board and a spokesperson said Hunt's role was being disestablished.
Kordia New Zealand, led by former Orcon boss Scott Bartlett, would now have total annual sales of just under $200 million and the Australian business was also turning over $200 million.
"Now that both businesses are performing well, it makes sense that they each now report directly to the Kordia Board," Hunt said, who will leave Kordia Group at the end of March.
In a statement, Kordia Group said revenue had been lifted from $120 million to $400 million during Hunt's leadership and that in 2012 the group had posted a record net profit of $12.1 million.
Hunt joined the group in 2005 and had led it through a "comprehensive 'broadcast to broadband' transformation, building a solid business that is now well positioned for the switch-off of analogue television when New Zealand switches to digital later this year," the group said.

You can leave it like that (I do) but if you want a really nice edge just fold it twice:

Very Useful !!!!!! thanks for posting
good Post
People can take that with some thought and make custom bottom oil pans and Top sugar or syrup feeders
David, Excellent post. Can you explain how you make that nice edge with your handy tool? It looks nice.
Something that may help make a more defined corner is to plane down the 2X4 to a sharp corner, that is if you have a planer at your disposal. Using a harder material will work as well, such as two layers of MDF glued together with the slot cut through them, it'll give you a sharp and hard corner to brake with.
With that said, I like the idea very much, it may have solved my problem of needing a bigger brake.
Affordable bee equipment supplier. www.carmacksupply.com
One question. The slot looks very narrow. Did you use a blade without carbide tips?
It's just a regular 2x4 with a regular kerf from my table saw. It's much easier to use if the kerf is exactly as deep as the bend you want to make so that the metal bottoms out. So in this case about 3/4 inch.
To make the hem just make the first bend as far as you can (about 45 degrees) with the tool, then with the work piece laying on a hard flat surface use the outside of the 2x4 to flatten it all the way down. Then just make another bend on the same edge.
It's kind of a single purpose tool, but so easy to make that isn't a problem. Once you have a couple of these made just like you want you can make your top flashings faster than you can with a regular brake.
You could make a very versatile version with 2 thinner pieces of hardwood and vice grips to clamp them, but this is awfully quick and easy.
Dave, Thanks for the tip. I have an 18" brake I pulled out of a machine shop dumpster, and it's seen a lot of use. I've been looking for something a little bigger. I have some 2x4's laying around that are already paid for.

I'm wondering if anyone has heard anything about 2012 almond pollination fees.
I'm wondering if anyone has heard anything about 2012 almond pollination fees.
Check out the point of view section: http://www.beesource.com/point-of-vi...r-may-11-2011/
Traynor already confirmed in May 2011 that 2012 almond polination fees will be the same as 2011.
A friend of mine just his contract, 135 plus the bonus
George Brenner @ www.valleyhoneyco.com
Mesa, AZ
And the bonus is????????
Gregg Stewart
seems to me that he said 3 dollars per frame up to 4 frames for a possible 12 dollar bonus, I know he contracts directely with paramont , no broker
George Brenner @ www.valleyhoneyco.com
Mesa, AZ
I would'nt leave the house for 135.00 unless it' s my back yard. I know two large beekeepers from here that unless the price goes up from this years price are saying they will go for honey rather than go west.
Freight and the fees are eating into the profit compared to honey and the good of the hives, and the growers playing games as long as the can find cheap bees just makes it less appealing .
Where there are fruits and nuts there are beekeepers!!!
Sheri I believe it was $169 to the beekeeper. Do you have extras for rent?
Does anyone know if it is true Paramount does not spray fungicide on thier almonds?
It must cost a lot of money to ship bees from Florida. Also a lot of risk involved sitting on a truck that long both ways.
Everything that glitters is not gold.
Nick, no extra bees here. Just to clarify.....that $169 was to beekeepers contracting directly to the grower I assume? Beeks with brokers would net less.....I think another big broker is getting $160 from growers, that is 8 fr average, doesn't Traynor guarantee 8 fr min?
Re the bonus, I had understood previous years that it was $10 per frame above 8 (or 10?) up to a certain max.
Not spraying fungicides would be worth a certain amount of $$, I would think, but I can't believe Paramount doesn't spray if conditions warrant. I don't know much about almond culture, what alternative would they have?
Yeah, shipping is a big expense. Gonna cost the better part of 10K each load out and back from Wisconsin, but we don't make much honey in February here and a 3 day each way truck drive beats a 3 month snowdrift.. Florida is another 500+- miles further plus they might miss orange if they ship. One good thing is that normally our northern route makes it a cool trip until you get down into California. We ship early Nov so it can be pretty warm in the valley still.
I came across this web site with an interesting concept. IF it takes off, we will be able to watch the ASK, BID and PAID prices of almond pollination services as if it were on the Stock Exchange. It will be interesting to see the asking prices from growers. Check it out, what do you think? WWW.ezibees.com.

When it comes to setting, pollination prices Beekeepers are their own worst enemy.
Beekeepers are the ones that drive the pollination prices down.
Stop and think for a moment what would happen if there were no bees available to pollinate almonds!
There are few, if any, other industries in California that are experiencing such an increasingly wide disparity between the balances of supply and demand for services than the almond pollination industry. In economic terms, the demand for almond pollination services is almost a Perfectly Inelastic Demand. That is, the demand for bee colonies SHOULD exhibits zero responsiveness to price changes; no matter what the price, the quantity demanded remains the same.
There are no substitutes for bee pollination of almonds. Bees are essential to almond production: if the tree is NOT pollinated, it will NOT produce nuts.
In the classic Supply and Demand Curve, the demand curve slopes down from left to right indicating as price increase, demand decline; the Inelastic Demand Curve is vertical, if the almond grower requires an average of two colonies per acre, then the demand for 705,000 acres requires (demands) 1.4 million colonies. This represents over 57% of all the colonies in the United States.
California has approximately 500,000 colonies locally. Over one million, 71% of all colonies used to pollinate next season's Almond crop will be imported from other states and incurring substantial freight costs which should be passed on to the growers.
Theoretically, growers will pay whatever pollination price they have to if they can pass the cost on to the buyer. Growers as a group "bid for," or "bid up" the price of colonies.
While pollination services set the minimums, cost demands drive the cost of the hive up.
Obviously, from a practical standpoint growers will not pay pass a point for which they cannot recover their expense. Currently pollination fees account for 20% of the cost of production of almonds. The growers have a dilemma, if they do not pay for pollination services, the trees will not produce nuts. Current the world almond inventory supply is between 5–6 percent, which is considered a very low surplus. Those growers that do pay for pollination services will receive a premium for their almonds.
Demand for almonds are not Perfectly Inelastic, consumers do not and will not pay a higher price for almonds without affecting the demand. There are substitutes for almonds.
Nuff Said!
"Success is all about attitude"
California Almond Pollination Services, Inc.
According to the California State Beekeepers Assoc. Survey the average almond pollination fees were.........................
2008 - $148.50
2009 - $157.03
2010 - $150.79
2011 - $158.37 (projected)

Now, Now be nice. Caifornians didn't develope this web site. Some guys from down under did. Looks like they are going after almond pollination (maybe some Kiwi). Last time I counted there we 6 almond trees in Washington. We Californians have over 92 million.
Give them a call, they should expand it to other crops and other state.
"Success is all about attitude"

times are pretty good in the bee business.pollination and honey makes things click just right.
Oh I was just kidding. They actually fixed the site now and you can specify a state you are in.
My day job for a company out of CA thinks that our customers in DC are in Washington also. The support guys just pick Washington and don't know that DC and WA are different so I get all the emails for the DC guys. Probably the India support center does not know the difference. Kiwi's probably have the same issue.
Just kidding about the CA people. I lived there until the gov-a-nator. I am looking for a contract for my 80 hives if you know of anyone needing some. PM me.
Kind of curious, from how far away do people ship hives out to Cali? I mean do some ship them from the midwest, Florida, Maine?
Yup, 90% or all bee's in the USA go to CA for almonds. Might be higher.
Now CCD has made some of the big guys rethink that and not take all the eggs to the CA Basket. But, if you pollinate for a living CA is on your list. But, shipping from east coast is hard on the bee's and costly to take to CA.
Must be money in it if they shipping that far, I'll have to learn how that works when I hive enough hives.


text: From the day I test drove the truck (I have never owned a Chevy Duramax before been with Cummins for past 10 years) I heard a buzz noise coming from the dash/engine compartment. The salesman said it was normal and all of them did it. Well that was good for me as it was a new truck bla bla bla. But then with the integrity issues I have had with that dealership and salesman (some of you may have seen other threads where they lied about simple things like the truck having a diesel owners manual supplement) I decided today to look it up. I didn't find anything on it here but I did find it on a couple other forums. Turns out the sound I hear might be something a technical service bulletin has been release on, TSB # is PIP4826 Guess I'll call my dealership that I have been working with that I trust about it and see what they say. Figured I would post about it here in case others had the same thing or knew more about it. Here is the main site I found the answers (hope it is ok to link to them) I just wanted you to know my source but I also wanted to make sure this forum had the info so that no one would have to go elsewhere next time. This one even has a photo of what one guy did to fix it himself: http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=436847 - - - Updated - - - PS, the fix is to turn one of the hoses 60 degrees counter clockwise.


text: I started with a package in April in a deep 8 frame hive. Six weeks later, I added a 8 frame medium super. Two months later I added another 8 frame medium because it appeared that they had drawn out the first medium. They really have never utilized the 2nd medium I put in. They would hang out up there but only drew it out a very small amount. They never stored honey in the 2nd one. Today I opened it to find that they have chewed about 1/4 of the foundation. The bees that were in that 2nd medium seemed to be occupied chasing about a dozen small hive beetles. My question is-- because of the time of the year and the fact that they never really utilized the 2nd medium, would it not be wise to remove it? It seems that it's just more room for them to police. This would leave them with the initial 8 frame deep hive, and a medium which is nearly fully drawn and utilized. They seem not to use the outside frames on both hive bodies, so there is still some room.

Newest Shinola city clock unveiled outside Ford Field
Appropriate timing, says Detroit Lions President Tom Lewand: It's the day of the NFL draft
The unveiling of the fifth Shinola/Detroit LLC city clock took place in front of Gate A at Ford Field today. It follows the installation of four clocks at various spots throughout the city in March.
Detroit Lions President Tom Lewand was on hand for the unveiling, which happened on the morning of the National Football League draft. "The clock's unveiling today is a great opportunity for two great brands to come together on a great day for the NFL and the city," Lewand said.
Lewand said the clock's placement at Ford Field came out of ongoing talks between the Lions and Shinola about ways they could work together on co-branding opportunities. In addition to the clock, Shinola is also a supporter of the team's upcoming Taste of the Lions fundraiser at Ford Field.
The four previously unveiled city clocks, which Crain's first reported Shinola's plans for in February, are located:
- Outside Cobo Center: The clock will eventually be relocated to a new Cobo Square, linking the north-facing side of the building — where the new food court is located — with West Jefferson Avenue.
- At Eastern Market: Shed 3 is the temporary home of a wall-mounted city clock. The clock eventually will be on a pole outside Shed 5, which is undergoing renovations.
- In Midtown: A pole-mounted clock sits on the site of a future dog park on the corner of Cass Avenue and West Canfield Street, near Shinola's Detroit headquarters and watch factory.
- Outside the College for Creative Studies: The pole-mounted clock can be found at the corner of West Milwaukee Street and Cass Avenue.
Like the others, the Ford Field clock features LED lights and a stainless steel casing, and has a diameter of more than 3 feet. The pole-mounted versions stand 13 feet tall. The design of the clock face is inspired by Shinola's upcoming pocket watch.
The clocks were produced by Medfield, Mass.-based Electric Time Co. Inc., one of the few remaining manufacturers of city clocks and maker of the clock that tops Tiffany & Co.'s famous Fifth Avenue store in New York City.

Lake Shore to research possibility of controlled deer hunt
Some enjoy the deer that wander through their yards; others think deer are a nuisance.
Speaking as liaison of the Environmental Committee, Lake Shore City Council member Doug Miller asked Monday, March 25, about the possibility of having a controlled deer hunt in the city.
"Some people have complained about the number of deer," Miller said.
City administrator Teri Hastings said the city gets some deer complaint calls at city hall.
According to material provided to the council, the DNR manages deer and other animal populations on state lands, but leaves it up to cities to control hunting and manage populations within their own boundaries.
"It is a problem in the city," said city council member John Poston, who advocated the city talk to Gary Drotts, DNR wildlife supervisor in Brainerd.
The council agreed to talk about this more with Drotts at a publicized meeting so the public can attend if interested.
Public safety
The Cass County Sheriff's Office will host a Community Outreach Day from 2-5 p.m. Thursday, March 28, at Lake Shore City Hall.
Residents are asked to come and visit with Sheriff Tom Burch and members of the sheriff's office and learn about initiatives within the sheriff's office.
Applications for a permit to carry a firearm or purchase a firearm, alarm permit applications and event permit applications will be available.
There is a Take It To the Box prescription drug disposal box permanently located at Lake Shore City Hall. And staff can help people sign up for the sheriff's office's instant emergency notification program called Nixle.
Lake Shore Police Chief Steve Sundstrom and members of the Lake Shore Police Department will also be available to answer questions.
In other public safety business Monday, the council agreed to sell a DWI forfeited 1996 Toyota Tacoma to Anthony Berndt, who submitted the highest bid at $3,250. The city received nine sealed bids.
Funds received will be used for police equipment.
Police reported 115 incidents from Feb. 25 to March 24, including 77 traffic-related incidents and 38 miscellaneous calls.
Traffic incidents included 52 traffic warnings, 19 traffic citations and three vehicles in the ditch.
Miscellaneous calls included six alarms, six medicals, six suspicious activity, two disorderly/disturbance, two fraud/theft complaints, two lost property, one warrant arrest and one snowmobile injury crash.
Lake Shore police assisted Nisswa police four times and Cass County once.
Environmental/land use
Environmental Committee member Elaine Leach resigned from that committee. She began serving as an alternate to that committee in 2006. The city will accept applications for that committee opening.
The council agreed to advertise for a zoning inspector after Dave Loch resigned earlier this year. While it's helpful if the applicant is familiar with Lake Shore and planning and zoning regulations, it's not required that the person live in the city. Poston will fill the contract position temporarily.
The city issued one land use permit in February for a total valuation of $250,000. The permit was for a commercial addition/landscaping/patio. That compares to three permits issued in February 2012 for a total valuation of $293,500.
The city has issued two permits so far this year for a total valuation of $335,000. That compares to five permits issued by this time in 2012 for a total valuation of $353,000.
In other business March 25:
• The council renewed 2013 liquor licenses for Bar Harbor Supper Club, Lost Lake Lodge, Cowboy's, Zorbaz and Sherwood Forest Tavern.
• City engineer Dave Reese of Widseth Smith Nolting advised the city to be prepared for spring flooding on roadways.
• The board of review will be held at noon Thursday, April 11, at Lake Shore City Hall.

Why I Am Not a Racist. No, Really.
posted at 6:02 am on January 12, 2010 by Dafydd ab Hugh
I am unreliably informed that everybody is a racist. This is, of course, a load of ferret kidneys.
To be a racist, one must, at the very least, believe in the concept of race — where "race" means some discrete and self-perpetuating subgroup of humans, defined by skin color and a certain morphology, but that also affects behavior and (some argue) thought itself. Anybody who accuses (e.g.) Clarence Thomas of "acting white" passionately believes in race-determinism.
This seems accurate to most people; but I simply don't believe in different "races" of Man: The morphology is inconsistent and its connection with behavior and thought is utterly spurious. What most folks imagine to be "racial" is in fact cultural… and I most certainly believe in different and often belligerent subcultures of Mankind.
But — the critical difference — while race is determined by birth, one's culture is, in the final analysis, consciously chosen… however much it may be influenced by upbringing.
We know that culture (a.k.a., subculture) is not determined by upbringing, because children of identical upbringing often embrace completely different cultures. There is no corner of the globe (does a sphere have corners?) so remote that it does not provide access to more than one culture. Even the most repressive third-world neighborhood, imbued in Islamism or animism or cannibalism or human sacrifice, cannot help but admit American Borg culture (A.B.C. — "Resistance is futile!") — from Tinkerbell t-shirts to Coca-Cola to McDonalds to reruns of Baywatch.
I doubt there's even a single country, region, province, or village that doesn't provide (if unwillingly) access to more than two cultures… perhaps Fundamental Materialist Euroculture or Catholocism or Baha'i or something spawned by historical colonialism, in addition to A.B.C.; so most people have their choice of three or more cultures to choose from, once they're old enough to notice the difference. Whichever they embrace is, by definition, their conscious choice.
Where am I going with this? Whenever options are available, choice is unavoidable: Of necessity, each adolescent must choose between all available cultureal options. That choice defines the path the individual takes… nothing cultural is carved in stone nor genetically determined.
There's that pesky word, individual. It crops up whenever we discuss thought, behavior, responsibility, accountability, liberty, conscience, and ultimately behavior. Simply put, we cannot foist upon others, or upon the impersonal Fates, accountability for our own behavior.
If Hutus slaughter Tutsis in Rwanda (or vice-versa), they cannot excuse their behavior by saying "that's the culture I was brought up in;" because many others brought up in that same culture did not participate in the attempted genocides on both sides and even tried to stop them. Just as a majority of those raised in Compton or Harlem or East L.A. or East St. Louis do not join gangs, do not engage in random violence, do not assault, rape, or murder innocents.
For those who do, their crimes are their own; they cannot blame "society."
In fact, all of the heresies of civilization, from socialism to racism to tribalism, stem from the same original sin: collectivism. The only way to sustain such cultures of hatred is to dehumanize outsiders; but to dehumanize, it's almost a logical necessity to view each human being not as an individual, not as a cardinal number, but as an ordinal number — a representative of an entire class.
Thus, Barack H. Obama is not a man with his own strengths and weaknesses, his own ideals and blind spots, but simply "the first black president," or "a leftist" or "the One We Have Been Waiting For." George W. Bush is simply "the son of the 41st president" or "a Texan" or "a conservative warmonger."
When you insist, against all odds, on seeing each person as an individual, not as a cog in a giant collective, then "race" dissipates like morning fog in the noonday sun; the morphologies that define each race are seen as points on a continuum that are interesting to a painter, perhaps, but are orthogonal (at right angles) to all that which makes a man or woman. I'm a pale-skinned white; my wife Sachi is a dark-tinged Oriental; yet we share an intense and dispositive worldview linking us like the strong nuclear force, far more tightly than could possibly be parted by mere melanin level.
Thus I disbelieve in the concept of "race."
Ergo, by rigorous logic, I cannot be a "racist." Asking me what race I am is like asking whether I'm a good Martian or a bad Martian: The only valid response is, "will U. kindly F.O.?"

The rare type of hick, redneck, and hillbilly located in the northern U.S.A. They have very close family ties to the soutern united states. They don't have much of a southern accent, but can fluently speak and comprehend it. They do not hang a confederate flag in fear of being shot or arrested. Most northern hicks are located in the states of washington, oregon, and idaho. They live in cities with a population or about 20,000. The cities are usually mostly composed of these northern hicks, so most people around there are wearing plaid and overalls. Northern Hicks do not own a rusty old truck that they drive around, they have the biggest truck you can buy, but it has to be very clean. Northern Hicks are truly the same as the original hick, redneck, and hillbilly, at heart, but their ways are set back by the cruelty of the city life...
Northern Hicks can be called a "sophisticated" version of the Southern Hick.

Sunscreen Apps!
Have you vacationed this summer and if so wherever you go you have probably had some sun exposure? Whether you are at the beach, in the mountains or out sightseeing it is important to make sure you are using sunscreen on a regular basis and that means all of the kids as well.
I am happy that I find more and more of my patients and their parents using sunscreen on a regular basis. At this time of year it is a good idea to apply a liberal amount of sunscreen on your child to just start off the day. I would always use a SPF of at least 30. Again, this is just for a normal day as your child may be in and out of the house, or on the playground at day camp, or day care. Remember, this is just the "base" coat, and not enough for prolonged sun exposure.
While I was planning on some sun exposure during vacationing I came across an article about different apps that are available to help you calculate how much sun exposure you are getting and the risk of sunburn as well. Who knew how many different ones were available?
You can use these apps and actually type in your location and your child's skin type and then they calculate how long you can be in the sun. The apps also recommend sunscreen strengths as well. Some of the apps actually have a timer to remind you how much longer you can be in the sun and when to reapply sunscreen. How clever is this to use, especially for a teen who is spending the day at the lake and never seems to "remember" to reapply sunscreen.
I have decided that I am going to download a few of these apps and try them out over the next several weeks and see what I think.
Bottom line....keep re-applying sunscreen for any lengthy sun exposure...you don't need an app for that advice.

mark, thanks again for that excellent response. i see you as especially qualified to answer the question as to how much or how little the is the consideration of nosema in the real world of beekeeping. you tend to confirm my suspicion that is may be less than it deserves. (an educated 'hunch")
for the record, i did not say or imply that nosema causes ccd. my understanding is that ccd is linked statistically with significance to nosema, and has been identified as a probable co-factor.
sergey, believe it or not, (raises hand), i was the one asking most of the questions, sometimes to the audible groaning of my fellow classmates.

Thank you everyone! I will take pics of my progress if anyone is interested.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thank you everyone! I will take pics of my progress if anyone is interested.
I found a wood/laminate floor to be the best thing I did in my room!!! My room is only small (9'x7") so was reasonably cheap to do....but well worth it for ease of cleaning and finding dropped pins!! Like others have said...lots of brilliant ideas here....just enjoy making it YOUR space!!!
We found this great flooring at Home Depot that we plan to use when the time comes. It's a laminate that looks like grey driftwood. They have a lot of little samples there that you can take for comparison.
If you have access to Ikea, they have a great bookcase which is just perfect for displaying Featherweights. It is from the "Billy" collection, is 15-3/4" wide and 79-1/2 tall. I have six Featherweights displayed on mine and it doesn't take up much wall space. Enjoy your new room! Betty
treat yourself to a laminae floor! then check out craigslist for IKEA storage pieces...your room will come together
I would definitely recomment a smooth floor surface. We just recarpeted our multiple purpose room where I sew. It is hard to move my roll around chair and I am constantly finding pins in the carpet.
Keep everything portable for a while. Move things around until the room "feels" right. You know - yin/yang. If the room's not right the creative juices don't flow. Don't get in a hurry to have it finished. In this regard smaller pieces (the cheaper the better) work best as they can be rearranged and disposed of until you are happy. Just my 2cents worth.
Shirley in Arizona
Great ideas....My space will soon be underconstruction....My room is going to be 20 x 30....I really need it....My office is so crowded that I can barely sit down...Makes sewin a challange...
Don't forget good lighting. A good table for cutting fabric. Good storage for fabric.
Organization, organization, organization, is key. A place for everything, and everything in its place.
Avoid clutter so you spend your time sewing and not looking for supplies, rulers, etc.
Enjoy putting your room together.

Dinner and a Movie: The Grey
Going to see <i>The Grey</i> this weekend? Here's where you should go beforehand.
Dinner and a movie may not seem like the best thing to do on a night out with the guys (whatever will your local strip joint haunt do without you) but The Grey, an action packed thriller about six men battling a pack of wolves in the turbulent Alaskan climate, may change your mind. Make a night of it and indulge in meaty meals drowned in pint after pint of beer.
So where do you go to get in the mood for a film like this? Here is where we're sending you.
Animal Restaurant 435 N. Fairfax Ave.Los Angeles
Ran by famed chefs Jon Schook, and Vinny Dotolo, Animal Restaurant is everything a man looks for in an eatery. The chefs pride themselves on unusual cuts and animal parts like pig tails, veal brains, sweetbreads and lamb neck. Paired with a bottle from their seasonal wine list, or one you bring from home, you and your friends will feast like kings before you watch Liam Neeson kick wolf ass.
Our favorite dishes: foie gras loco moco, quail egg, spam, and hamburger ($35) and the bacon chocolate crunch bar with S&P ice cream ($7)
Revolution Brewing 2323 N. Milwaukee Ave. Chicago
We can't think of anything that goes better with a great burger than a pint of ice cold beer. One of our favorite spots for just this thing is Revolution Brewing in Chicago. Jim Cibak, a professional brewer has been concocting some of the best batches of beer over the past 15 years, brews about 35 different styles of beer throughout the year.
Our favorite dishes: Bacon Fat Popcorn ($4) & Hombre Burger ($13)
The Salt Lick 18300 FM 1826 Driftwood, TX
It doesn't get any manlier than The Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas. Serving up their famous ribs, brisket and sausages marinated and smoked on an open pit, the only thing we can think of that's is the fact that it is a BYOB joint. Buy a bottle of their homemade sauce and dry rub, you'll be craving the taste of Salt Lick BBQ for weeks!
Our favorite dish: Four meat combination plate with moist brisket, pork ribs and beef ribs. ($15)
Pies 'n' Thighs 166 S.4th Street Brooklyn NY
Imagine the best fried chicken you've ever had and double it by thirty: that is what the food tastes like at this little restaurant. The girls who run Pies 'n' Thighs will have you cursing the calorie gods after devouring their meals and washing the southern comfort food down with a pint of beer. How can something that tastes so good be so bad? (photo source)
Our Favorite dishes: Fried Chicken Box ($13) & the Chicken Biscuit (6)

From the minute we arrived at the old, rundown Bangalore airport, it was obvious India was by far the most undeveloped country on this trip. In stark contrast to Shanghai and Singapore, the infrastructure is far lacking, though the knowledge power is here in concentrated areas. After driving through 2nd and 3rd world neighborhoods, we would find a hidden oasis where a high-tech company had set up research facilities on well-groomed land. Most of what I saw in Bangalore was exactly the conditions in the better Iraqi cities - except with newer cars and oases. Apparently, there has been huge advancements in Bangalore in the past few years since it's the main Indian technology hub. On a trip to the countryside, we saw large projects underway such as freeways
The streets were utter chaos, covered mainly with motorcycles and three-wheel taxis called tooktooks. If there is a square foot of space, someone rushes into it. Lanes mean nothing. For how small the streets are, there was a good amount of traffic flow with all the small vehicles dodging in and out. Constant honking of the horn allows everyone around to know where you are and where you're going. The exhaust on the streets was overwhelming, though. Transport trucks and cows were very decorative, with all types of painted designs and ribbons. Buddhist, Hindu, Hare Krishna, Sikh, and Christian temples and churches were frequent sites, which we visited when possible. In Mysore we saw the Maharaja Palace briefly at night.
The companies we visited were extremely impressive. The mindset of the organizations we did go to was very future and society-oriented. I can definitely see why the Indian services sector is hard to compete with. We also visited a T-bird's family company which makes circuit boards and incense - quite a combo. Everyone spoke of the frustrating difficulties inherent to a fledgling democracy with a mostly uneducated populace and numerous bickering political parties, which is why they say it's more difficult for them to catch China economically. But, Indians are very proud of the freedoms they enjoy, which you could hardly believe all of what's legal.
On the last nights of the official Winterim, we ate some great Afghan food in a restaurant meant to look like a cave. Hookahs were in order next door and a couple guys bravely participated in a tooktook race returning to the hotel.
Wow, I took a lot of pics. There are plenty more than what are posted too!
