I am treatment free because I have never seen anything that would require treating. I have tested for mites and always come up with nothing. I assume this is because all the bees I have gotten have either come in package boxes or in queen cages. Also, that I have always used new boxes, frames, and foundation.
So, how does one get mites? Used equipment? Nucs? Drifting? Catching swarms?

Luther Season 3: The Best Yet
Some would say Idris Elba is having a not-so-great week. His new movie, Pacific Rim, got its butt kicked by a father with an army of minions and four man-boys but, hey, at least his show has finally returned.
Back when Luther debuted (in January 2011 on Showcase in Canada, though it moved to BBC Canada for its subsequent seasons), I was hooked. Everything about it, from the stunning Elba and the rest of the cast, to how dark and gritty London is depicted, its short six-episode season and the British accents (I'm a sucker for them), Luther could do no wrong.
ABC/CTV series Motive may have borrowed a bit from Luther, which has always been more about the howdunit rather than the whodunit. But just because we know who the bad guy is early on, doesn't take away any of the tension or suspense. Remember those classic British police dramas Prime Suspect and Cracker? Luther definitely pays homage to those gritty, thoughtful series.
Now in its third season (which, like its sophomore year, is a mere four episodes long), Luther continues to be a stunning exploration into what a true crime drama should be. It could've just been a series about a brilliant, troubled copper as he solves cases while struggling with his inner demons, but it's just so more. And while four episodes seems chintzy, it somehow doesn't feel rushed. As Luther goes on, the darker and more addictive it gets. There are so many words to describe it -- the show, the character and his portrayer: powerful, explosive, raw, sexy, intense, captivating.
Sure, there's the good old-fashioned detective work but it's also a character drama, one that goes to some truly scary places. DCI John Luther is enigmatic and so haunted you never know when he's going to snap (because he will snap). In fact, you won't find a broodier, gloomier character on TV this summer. Despite all of Luther's dark fixations, the job always comes first for him -- which is both a blessing and a curse, for him and those close to him. But in Season 3, we see just how much it affects those around him as Luther's legend in the London police force is questioned. Well, there have always been suspicions but now his most trusted ally, DS Justin Ripley (Warren Brown), has serious doubts too.
Ripley may be Luther's colleague, but the mentee no longer trusts his mentor, thanks to freshly promoted DSI Erin Gray (Nikki Amuka-Bird) and her new boss, DSU George Stark (David O'Hara), an "unretired" cop determined to bring Luther down. Ripley's and Luther's relationship is very different than what we've seen, and the actors are at their finest as they face off. And while it's understandable that someone wants Luther to pay for taking the law into his own hands, we obviously don't want him to get caught. Seeing a torn Ripley watch as Luther dangles a suspect over a balcony is equally moving as Luther sitting on the floor, quietly comforting a victim's weeping father. But it's Luther's sympathy for that character that results in Ripley's change of heart and why he is now secretly working against his boss.
Their bromance was the sweetest thing about the show, until now, as Luther gets a real love interest -- and, no, I don't mean Alice (Ruth Wilson isn't in the credits, though I'm sure we will see her at some point this season). It felt a bit contrived as Luther's meet-cute with Mary Day (Sienna Guillory) is a little, well, cute and very un-Luther-like but if it means happy times for the cop, I'll take it (no matter how short-lived it will likely be). But I still miss what he had with Alice. Seeing the connection between those two was like watching two wild animals dangerously circling each other and their back-and-forth was eerie, sexy and downright seductive.
The downfall of Luther and Ripley's relationship makes for the perfect plotline to go along with the case of the copycat killer on the loose. Speaking of, I won't spoil the premiere but it was as creepy and edge-of-your-seat as it gets. No, really, I watched a lot of this with my eyes covered and from behind a pillow. I guarantee that after you've watched it, you'll be looking under your bed and still not sleeping well as you eye your ceiling, wondering what's in your attic. Oh, and the sound of a crying cat will never be the same. Shudder.
Season 3 of Luther premieres in Canada on Thursday, July 18 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on BBC Canada. It won't air in the U.S. until September.
Original UK Series: "Till Death Us Do Part" The show that introduced the world to "lovable bigot" Archie Bunker, "All in the Family" was the first series to spend five consecutive years on top of the Nielsen ratings. Produced by Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin (who also adapted "Sanford and Son" from its UK predecessor) the sitcom was notable for its decision to tackle social issues that other network comedies of the time had never touched, such as homosexuality, racism, rape, abortion, breast cancer and the Vietnam war.
Original UK Series: "Steptoe and Son" This iconic NBC sitcom, which aired from 1972 until 1977, was one of the highest rated shows of its time, peaking at number 2 in the ratings behind only "All in the Family." It is considered groundbreaking for its portrayal of race, and is thought to have paved the way for "The Cosby Show" and other sitcoms centered around African American families. (Although the British original was groundbreaking in different ways, notably for its elements of social realism, it featured Caucasian leads.)
Original UK Series: "Dragon's Den" A hit in both the UK and Canada, "Dragon's Den" embodies all the elements of a hit reality show: Judges with attitude, random wackiness, and average Joes who either make money or fools of themselves. "Shark Tank" works because it didn't meddle with the winning formula -- it's harsh, cruel and blunt; it even uses two of the same "Sharks" that appear on the Canadian version.
Original UK Series: "Hell's Kitchen" The thread that ties these two together is Gordon Ramsay. Without his acerbic, curse-laden diatribes, this show would not work on either continent. There's something almost cathartic about watching "Hell's Kitchen," which might be why it works so well -- you instantly feel better about your own cooking, and you can release a bit of anger every time Ramsay yells at one of the contestants.
Original UK Series: "Shameless" Showtime's American adaptation of "Shameless" has worked for a few reasons. Most importantly, its central story of a dysfunctional family struggling to make ends meet resonated with audiences during the recession. The show also hit home runs with its casting: William H. Macy plays a great drunk, and Emmy Rossum has emerged as the show's tough, sexy breakout star.
Original UK Series: "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" There are a two very simple reasons "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" took off in the US. Number one: Every single American TV viewer would like to be a millionaire. Number two: Regis Philbin and his monochromatic shirt/tie combinations were awesome.
Original UK Series: "The Office" Ricky Gervais' British sitcom "The Office" premiered in 2001 and followed the employees of the fictional Wernham Hogg Paper Company. Though it only lasted two seasons in the UK, it lives on in the US. The American version starred Steve Carell and made him a highly-coveted film actor, and did the same for John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer and more of its stars. Now going into its ninth season, the dry humor and mockumentary-style series about the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company employees set the tone for many more comedies to come (i.e. "Modern Family").
Original UK Series: "What Not to Wear" The BAFTA-nominated original UK series "What Not To Wear" had Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine makeover some of the UK's most awfully dressed Brits for five seasons (before they left and Lisa Butcher and Mica Paris took over for the show's sixth and seventh seasons). Though the US installment of "What Not to Wear" premiered shortly thereafter with a bit of a rough start with Wayne Scot Lukas, the American version found its footing in Season 2. The dynamic between Stacy London and Clinton Kelly has helped the show last for nine seasons and counting.
Original UK Series: "Queer as Folk" The UK's original "Queer as Folk" made its debut in 1999 and broke gay stereotypes throughout its two seasons, as did the US remake. "Queer as Folk" premiered on Showtime stateside in 2000 and made a splash as the first hour-long drama on American television to portray the lives of gay men and women. The series covered homophobia, late-in-life gay characters, coming out, gay adoption, HIV and many more taboo subjects. "Queer as Folk" broke down cultural barriers, paving the way for series like "The L Word" to make their debut and for acceptance of the gay community at large.
Original UK Series: "Man About The House" The UK original lasted six seasons in the early-to-mid-'70s, but the US version produced more than four times as many episodes (172 in total) over its eight seasons on the air, mainly due to a hilarious cast led by the late John Ritter.
Original UK Series: "Strictly Come Dancing" Before there was Pam Anderson, Drew Lachey and Bristol Palin (just three of the U.S. version's "All Stars" for Season 15), there was the UK's "Strictly Come Dancing," which premiered in 2004 and immediately spawned international spin-offs in 32 other countries and counting.
Original UK Series: "Pop Idol" "American Idol" is a ratings juggernaut, and it's not showing many signs of slowing down. With a revolving panel of music icons as celebrity judges and a fanbase that not only votes each week for their favorite singers, but buys their music and follows the contestants on tour, this is the reality competition to beat in the ratings.
Original UK Series: "Changing Rooms" It's not easy to find designers who are personable, talented and able to deal with the demands of a microbudget, time-crunched renovation, but both of these shows managed to do that, which is why they were both long-running hits in their respective countries. On both shows, viewers got crash courses in how to remake a room for very little dough, and even if we ultimately preferred the mildly acerbic British designers, both shows were the best kind of how-to program: They made you actually think you might be able to accomplish something similar (if you got off your couch, that is).
Original UK series: "Prime Suspect" We know, we know, the Helen Mirren original is a classic character-driven cop drama and the NBC show never quite rose to the heights that the UK series did. Having said that, NBC's version of the cop show evolved into an enjoyably meaty, well-acted ensemble drama that made great use of its versatile, talented cast and a committed performance from star Maria Bello. We were all ready to doubt the US version of the show, but her Jane Timoney made believers of us during "Prime Suspect's" brief run on the Peacock network.
Original UK Series: "The Inbetweeners" Though time will tell if the MTV adaptation will be able to rival the cult appeal of the original, the first three episodes of the new comedy prove just as charming as the British show, albeit in distinctly American ways. British humor may be dry and acerbic, but the new cast has undeniable chemistry and comic timing, and it will be interesting to see where the show goes when it starts utilizing its original material, rather than the six episodes it based on the UK series.

Prep Time 60 min
Total Time 120 min.
Step 1
To prepare meat sauce: Heat oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up clumps, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add onions and carrot; cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushroom liquid evaporates, 4 to 6 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in wine, plum tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, basil, thyme and crushed red pepper. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is very thick, 30 to 45 minutes more. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Step 3
To prepare filling & assemble lasagna: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 4
Cook noodles until just tender, about 10 minutes or according to package directions. Drain, then cool by plunging noodles into a large bowl of ice-cold water. Lay the noodles out on kitchen towels.
Step 5
Season ricotta with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Spread about 1 1/2 cups meat sauce in the prepared pan. Layer 3 noodles on top. Spread another 1 cup sauce over the noodles. Dot about 2/3 cup ricotta over the sauce, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan.

Our big road map is getting quite wrecked from use; Mary doesn't know everything, so we have to check up on her from time to time, and to plan our route off course.
We're enjoying the sunshine now and just a few days ago in Skodje, Sweden we had a blanket free night by the lake (the one where I got the car bogged). We drove only 400 kilometers down the road where it was so cold, it was definately a 3 dog night and a woolen hat to boot. Des had to laugh when he got up in the night because all he could see of me was a bump in the bed and my nose.
I've had to cut all my nails off as they were all breaking, chipping, cracking and bending back everyday. Tucking the canvas in of the camper on a cold day is painful on the hands as the canvas is brittle. It just folds away like butter on a sunny day.
We've noticed that the wind gusts here. We seem to have whole days or half days which are windy in Oz. Here it can be perfectly calm when all of a sudden a gust of wind will pick up and persist for about 15 minutes or so then totally disappear.
After we left Norway behind, we moved fairly quickly through Sweden to arrange ferries to Finland, St Petersburg and Estonia.
I've included some nice pictures of Stockholm before we move on for you.

|Introduction (untitled)
Two Securicars outside the Liberty City Bank branch.
|A non-functional location
|Give Me Liberty
The introduction for Grand Theft Auto III is a series of introductory scenes played as a new game is started. Consisting of only non-interactive cutscenes, the player has only the option of skipping them and moving on to "Give Me Liberty", the first mission in the game.
Bank heist
The introduction opens with a shot of the Liberty City Bank, as a Banshee driven by Miguel zips by and stops in front of an adjoining alleyway to pick up a team of three bank robbers who have just robbed the bank: Catalina, Claude and an unnamed associate with Colombian Cartel attire. After shooting a security camera, Claude attempts to rejoin the other two, but learns Catalina has double crossed Claude by gunning him and the third accomplice down. This leaves Catalina and Miguel to feast on the spoils of the heist while Claude, slumped on the ground on the alleyway, survives but is arrested by the Liberty City Police Department. Catalina reveals her ambitions to rise up the ranks of the criminal world, but felt Claude was not up to par for her, hence the betrayal and decision to join Miguel's powerful Colombian Cartel gang instead. Claude's thirst for revenge on Catalina will become a part of the game's plot.
Custody and escape
Claude, now in police custody, is intended to transfer from police headquarters in Staunton to Liberty Penitentiary to serve out his 10-year jail sentence. Claude is to be taken there via a police convoy that is also transporting two other inmates: 8-Ball, following an arrest which left both his hands fully bandaged, and an oriental man of unknown origin, arrested for possessing no legal documents. While crossing the Callahan Bridge from Staunton to Portland, the convoy is ambushed by a well coordinated Colombian Cartel team, whose intention is to capture the oriental prisoner as ransom, seemingly caring little of the fate of the other prisoners. To ensure their escape, the team left a powerful bomb on the bridge, resulting in an explosion that damages the bridge and cuts Portland off from the rest of Liberty City.
During the ambush and explosion, Claude and 8-Ball manage to break free, but find they have nowhere else to go but Portland, leading up to the first mission of the game, "Give Me Liberty".
- The bank scene takes place in a non-functional location originally confused as being within Liberty City itself. The set is situated far west from Shoreside Vale, and is only accessible by way of the Dodo under normal circumstances. The bank was supposedly located in Shoreside Vale, in the location of the airport (which the airport was located in Staunton Island before), as seen in beta pictures and drawings.
- The vehicles involved during the police convoy ambush scene are driverless.
- If the cheat code, destroy all cars, is inserted during the cutscene, all vehicles will explode and still continue to drive. This can also be done with other cutscene that includes cars.
- The Colombian Cartel members who kidnap the Old Oriental Gentleman in the introduction do not wear hawaiian shirts.
- Miguel drives a Banshee for a getaway car, which is strange as there are four people in the group and a Banshee has only two seats. This could be hinting Catalina's betrayal.
- The Colombian Cartel immediately become hostile after the cutscene (and at the beginning of the game).
A Liberty Tree newspaper reporting on the arrest and sentencing of Claude.

I have a hive stand that may fit 3 hits next to each other. Wondering if there is some best practice on how close you can put them next to each other.
Printable View
I have a hive stand that may fit 3 hits next to each other. Wondering if there is some best practice on how close you can put them next to each other.
I'm not sure but I think they can be right next to each other wth no problems. Many, if not all, of the pollinator hives appear to be that way. My original thought was that space would be good... but in winter, at least up here, I wonder if there would be a heat conservation benefit of keeping them side by side...
I'm looking forward to the experienced beekeepers to weigh in on this one.
Most of mine are within 4 inches of each other. Works well for me. I have some off by themselves. I see no distinct difference in production. I like them closer, it gives me somewhere to set my tools :)
Commercial beekeepers have 4 or 6 hives / pallet and they are pressed together with entrances as far apart as possible.
The only time you have to worry about how close they are is when installing new packages the will drift sometimes and you will have to change posations to equelize them other than that NO probolemo
If they are closer than touching, you have a problem.
I keep mine a minimum of 1/4" apart- that being the width of the divider in my double nuc boxes containing 2 colonies each.
I wouldn't hesitate to push boxes tightly next to each other with migratory tops on them if I had a reason to do so.
>How close is to close for hives?
There is no such thing. :)
I put 4 hives on an 8' hive stand (two by fours) and there is about 10" between them. Sometimes I have problems getting frames loose with my "J-hook" hive tool on the outside edges of the inner hives. The hives just don't have enough space between them for me to jack those obstinate frames loose. Working the hives from behind helps keep the bees a little more calm.
As for the bees, they seem to be just fine.
Jackson, MO www.createspace.com/4044187
Put them whatever distance you need to put them, to do whatever you need to do. They don't care.
I like mine far enough apart that I can remove the boxes for inspections and/or working them, and have room to set the others boxes aside. Just for convenience.
Attachment 3876
Attachment 3877
I'm with Cleo on this one. It's awfully convenient to be able to set a removed box down on the stand, in between the other colonies. If you have the room to spare.
Like Cleo, IMHO the bigger consideration is maintenance. Four on a pallet allows access from two adjacent sides. Three in a row up against each other means you'll be working the middle one from only one short side and reaching to the other.
I have 10 hives within spittin distance of my porch.
During the blackberry flow I had 17 on my front steps.
http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/s.../990_3054A.jpg. Now wife was not exactly thrilled.
The entrances need to be far enough apart so the bees can find home. The width of a box is enough. You may get drifting to the end hives if you have a long row, bees can only count to three.

Toasted Tomato Salad
Toasted Tomato Salad
2 large tomatoes (skins removed)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons garlic-flavored oil (or 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon jarred garlic and mix well)
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
Loaf of french bread, sliced in half horizontally
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
To remove tomato skins: Fill a medium saucepan one half full with water. Bring to boiling. Place tomatoes into the boiling water, leave for 15-20 seconds. Remove. Let cool for just a moment or two and then the skin should easily peel off.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut tomatoes into bite-sized chunks and set aside. Mix together the vinegar and oil.
Place the two halves of the bread on a cooking sheet. Place in oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, just until lightly browned. Remove from oven.
Spread the oil on the bread. Evenly spread the tomatoes on the bread. Sprinkle the basil on top of the tomatoes and add a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cheese on top.

The Hockey News's annual Yearbook is on newstands now and the magazine is predicting that the Canadiens will finish in 13th place in the Eastern Conference and miss the playoffs again.
THN predicts that Pittsburgh will finish first in the Eastern Conference, followed by Boston, Washington, the New York Rangers, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, Buffalo and Ottawa as the eight playoff teams.
In the Western Conference it's St. Louis, followed by Vancouver, Los Angeles, Chicago, Minnesota, San Jose, Detroit and Nashville.

THN also has its annual list of the Top 50 Players in the NHL in its Yearbook, and Max Pacioretty was the only Canadien to make it, coming in at No. 44.
Pacioretty is coming off a season in which he led the Canadiens in scoring with 33-32-65 totals and won the Masterton Trophy for perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.
"He responded to a devastating injury by being more robust and scoring 33 goals," THN writes.
Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin was No. 1 on the THN list. Others making the top 10, in order, were: Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos, Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby, Philadelphia's Claude Giroux, Los Angeles's Jonathan Quick and Drew Doughty, Minnesota's Zach Parise, L.A.'s Anze Kopitar, Boston's Zdeno Chara and the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist.

To make the Terrazas de los Andes wines, Chandon Argentina took the initiative to restore this building, located in the heart of Perdriel and at the foot of the imposing Cordón del Plata (a section of the Andes Mountain Range).
In the past, Chandon Argentina made only sparkling and generic still wines, however at the beginning of the '90s fueled by a political system more orientated towards an international market, a varietal wines project was born, to which Terrazas has now become the reality. Situated in Perdriel there is an old Spanish style winery that was used by Pedro Domecq to create his brandy. Renaud Poirier asked Domecq if he could use his equipment to make the first experimental vintages, between 1957 and 1959. Thirty years later Terrazas de los Andes was born, a tributary of Chandon Argentina dedicated exclusively to the production of varietal wines. View all Terrazas de los Andes Wines
About ArgentinaView a map of Argentina wineries (ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

Today, here in Kentucky, we had an awesome 72 degree day, full sun, slight breeze. Just a lovely day! A friend has two booming hives we planned to take three splits from, and we did. Two for her, and one for me, for helping and giving her some extra frames and foundation! Yes, a great trade! My four frames, including varying stages of brood appropriate for rearing a queen, went into a five frame nuc. Entrance stuffed, lid ratcheted down, we headed to the orchard where my other hive is. About 15 miles or so away so no worry about drifting. I added sugar water via top feeder and let them be.
1: Question is, I meant to add a fifth empty frame, and forgot. During the ride, the four frames may have shifted...not sure. How worried should I be about not having the fifth frame in there? Should I throw it in tomorrow, or would it be better not to bother them? I didn't know if them building in the extra space would be worse or if opening a recent split would be worse?
2: about how long would you all wait to move the frames into a 10 frame deep? Obviously after the new queen hatches and mates, but what do you typically do?
I feel like I'm over analyzing sometimes but I like to have experienced advice/reassurance!
Thank you all......


text: I pulled the queen and a few frames from a booming production colony a while back, as it looked to me like they were starting swarm preps. 2 weeks ago I moved a few frames of capped cells to a queen castle, and left a few frames of cells in the colony. These cells were ready to hatch, one or two had, one or two were in the process of it. Now I have 2 laying queens in the castle, and no eggs yet in the colony. I'll give the colony another week to see if a queen starts laying, but if it doesn't then I want to introduce one of my spare laying queens. The queen doesn't have a colony with her big enough to warrent a newspaper combine, as it's just a few frames in a queen castle. So should I cage her, and introduce her that way? Should I just smoke it heavy and plop in the two frames with the queen on it? Not sure which is the way to go here..

I've relentlessly complained that the United States has the highest corporate tax rate among all developed nations.
And if you look at all the world's countries, our status is still very dismal. According to the Economist, we have the second highest corporate tax rate, exceeded only by the United Arab Emirates.
But some people argue that the statutory tax rate can be very misleading because of all the other policies that impact the actual tax burden on companies.
That's a very fair point, so I was very interested to see that a couple of economists at a German think tank put together a "tax attractiveness" ranking based on 16 different variables. The statutory tax rate is one of the measures, of course, but they also look at policies such as "the taxation of dividends and capital gains, withholding taxes, the existence of a group taxation regime, loss offset provision, the double tax treaty network, thin capitalization rules, and controlled foreign company (CFC) rules."
It turns out that these additional variables can make a big difference in the overall attractiveness of a nation's corporate tax regime. As you can see from this list of top-10 and bottom-10 nations, the United Arab Emirates has one of the world's most attractive corporate tax systems, notwithstanding having the highest corporate tax rate.
Unfortunately, the United States remains mired near the bottom.

Gard logic is a type of fallacy in logic. It represents irrationality and or lack of logic whatsoever. Usually used in a musical context.
Rather than spending time focusing on warming up and listening to the ensemble for tuning, skip warming up to turn right away to an electronic tuner. This constitutes an example of Gard logic because neither the player nor the instrument has been "warmed" up, negating the effects of tuning.

At Tuesday's 6 p.m. meeting at Old City Hall, Mayor Craig Cates will present a resolution that calls for a full report on what it would take to open a 24-hour shelter at city-owned land on College Road: the site of the former Easter Seals building along with the present offices leased by the Mosquito Control District.
Those two locations "either singly or together could provide an adequate basic infrastructure for a 24-hour homeless shelter and services center," the resolution states.
Cates wouldn't offer a ballpark dollar figure for the center on Thursday, saying the resolution will direct staff to tally up a final price and that the county could agree to pitch in or help deliver grant money.
"It's something we have to have," said Cates. "We have to deal with the homeless. With this, I can go out and try to find funding."
The resolution says that "successful homeless facilities require the combined efforts of local, county and charitable organizations to cooperate to identify methods, financing and appropriate experienced personnel to create and manage" a 24-hour shelter.
Since he took office in 2008, Cates has been talking about creating such a comprehensive center that would provide a central place for Key West that would offer all current services, including food, shelter and treatment programs.
For now, the city provides only the Keys Overnight Temporary Shelter, which offers a vinyl mattress and a hot shower for up to 140 men and women.
The city reserves $400,000 a year to run the shelter, which ends services at 7 a.m. daily, sending men and women filing out with their belongings on their backs or bicycle baskets.
Cates has the votes to pass the resolution, a round of phone calls to commissioners proved Thursday.
"This isn't for vagrants; this is for the guy that lost his job that got sick and that, by the grace of God, go all of us," said Commissioner Teri Johnston, who supports the resolution. "It takes more than a shower and a cot to do that."
Commissioner Clayton Lopez said Thursday that he will also vote in favor of the resolution.
Like Johnston, Lopez pointed out a difference between the island's residents in dire need of basic services and a fringe element of those who booze and urinate in public.
"Who are we to say which is which?" Lopez asked rhetorically. "You have to help all. Those who don't want the help, they'll show themselves."
A third commissioner said he was skeptical about Key West planting a 24-hour shelter on Stock Island, but that he will also vote "yes" on Tuesday when the resolution comes up.
"Yeah, since it's just going to be a study on it to find out exactly what we're going to do about it," said Commissioner Billy Wardlow, whose district includes KOTS.
"I'm not really keen for 24 hours. I don't mind a place for them to sleep.
"My problem with 24 hours is that we don't have a place out in this part of town for kids and adults to go to, like a library."
Cates and his resolution argue that a 24-hour shelter will reduce the homeless population by offering "training and mentoring programs."
Plans for a 24-hour homeless shelter have also been offered up as part of the city's legal strategy in settling a pending lawsuit filed by Sunset Marina condo owners over the location of KOTS, which is situated near the upscale homes and the county jail.

Hillary hints about arming Libyan rebels, NATO commander wonders about peacekeepers
posted at 5:00 pm on March 29, 2011 by Allahpundit
Repeat as necessary: It's not a war. But given the news today about a quietly expanding air campaign, possible weapons shipments to the rebels, and maybe even ground troops down the line, it surely isn't a "time-limited, scope-limited military action" anymore either. We need a new euphemism. How about a "Flexible, Unified Bombardment/Air Reaction"?
Hillary Clinton has paved the way for the United States to arm the Libyan rebels by declaring that the recent UN security council resolution relaxed an arms embargo on the country…
But Clinton made clear that UN security council resolution 1973, which allowed military strikes against Muammar Gaddafi's regime, relaxed the embargo. Speaking after the conference on Libya in London, Clinton said: "It is our interpretation that [resolution] 1973 amended or overrode the absolute prohibition of arms to anyone in Libya so that there could be legitimate transfer of arms if a country were to choose to do that. We have not made that decision at this time."…
Signs of a growing international support for arming the rebels was highlighted by Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabor al-Thani, the prime minister of Qatar, who was the most senior Arab politician to attend the summit. Al-Thani, whose country is providing military aircraft to help patrol the no-fly zone over Libya, said: "We did not discuss [arming the rebels] – definitely [at the conference]. But our opinion is that we have to evaluate the air strikes after a while to see if it is effective to protect the people of Libya or not.
British foreign minister William Hague told reporters later that the subject of arming the rebels never came up, which makes me wonder which international conference on Libya he was attending this morning. As for peacekeepers, the latest spin from the White House is that they're not pushing explicitly for regime change because if we bump off Qaddafi then we'll "have a far greater ownership over what comes next" in Libya. It's the Powell doctrine, in other words: If we "break" Libya by putting the Mad Dog down, then we've bought it. Haven't we already bought it, though, by aligning ourselves with the rebels? Does anyone think the west is going to allow a total power vacuum in Tripoli, knowing that if fundamentalists seize the initiative and fill it, Obama and Sarkozy and Cameron et al. will be blamed for handing an oil-rich country over to jihadis? Admiral Stavridis is already facing reality about the aftermath:
During a Senate hearing on Tuesday, Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island asked Adm. James Stavridis about NATO putting forces into "post-Gadhafi" Libya to make sure the country doesn't fall apart. Stavridis said he "wouldn't say NATO's considering it yet." But because of NATO's history of putting peacekeepers in the Balkans — as pictured above — "the possibility of a stabilization regime exists."…
The new prospect of NATO force on the ground in Libya seemed to alarm Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who got Stavridis to say that there's "no discussion of the insertion of ground troops" in NATO circles. (And "to my knowledge" there aren't troops there now, he said.) But Stavridis told Reed that the memory of the long NATO peacekeeping efforts in the Balkans is "in everyone's mind."
Emphasis on "long." If you missed this excellent TNR piece by Steven Metz last week on the inevitability of an insurgency in Libya — no matter which side wins — read it now. A lot of western (and possibly Arab) nations may be asked to place troops in the middle of that and not all may be as resolute about seeing this through as they are right now. I wonder what The One's paeans to coalitions and multilateralism will sound like once some of our European allies start bugging out. For that reason, perhaps, and in order to speed the outcome of this war along without much further escalation, NATO countries are talking openly today about offering Qaddafi a cushy exile beyond the reach of any international tribunals. Susan Rice refused to rule it out on ABC this morning and Italian diplomats reportedly are trying to convince some African country to take him, packaged no doubt with a hefty cash payment from grateful western nations. The thinking, I assume, is that if Qaddafi bugs out semi-voluntarily rather than ends up being killed, it'll make his loyalists in Tripoli and elsewhere less vengeful towards the new government. Could be. Or it could be that the fact that he's still alive and safe somewhere on the continent will keep the flames of devotion burning. Quite a gamble.
I'll leave you with this new data from Pew. A near-majority support the mission right now, 47 percent in favor versus 36 percent against. But doubts are already beginning to grow…

Australian War Memorial: treasures from a century of collecting
Nola Anderson
The Australian War Memorial is one of Australia's most iconic institutions. This outstanding new book tells the story of the Memorial and its National Collection, one of the most significant collections of military history in the world. First-hand knowledge of wars may fade over time, but the collection – objects from the battlefield, soldiers' diaries and letters, photographs of moments which would otherwise be lost – ensures that the stories live on. Lavishly illustrated with Collection images and specially commissioned photography, Australian War Memorial: treasures from a century of collecting is written by Nola Anderson, the Memorial's former Acting Director.
Hard cover, illustrated throughout, 624 pages.

Griffin (Michael Stuhlbarg), a fifth dimensional alien, can see the infinite possibilities each moment possesses and the infinite contingencies that caused it to happen. Similar problems might have beset director Barry Sonnenfeld and the film's writers as they put together this pastiche. Like, you've already got a hidden universe of alien inhabitants below the surface of normality, why throw in time travel as well, especially when The Family Guy does it better? Fortunately, Josh Brolin as a younger version of K puts in an uncanny Tommy Lee Jones imitation, except when it lapses into George W. Bush. Back in 1969, young K had been murdered by an alien, resulting in a causal chain that ends with giant jellyfish destroying New York. So, before you can say "Austin Powers," Agent J (Will Smith) goes back in time to save not just his partner, but Earth as well. What almost saves the movie is its climactic twist, a nod to Sophocles, and one of the oldest tricks in the book.

Easier to turn from being a drug dealer when u get a NFL contract and money, no need to get on that grind. Howveer, when u a drug user, abuser, addict it's a lot harder to change to transform that lifestyle, kick that habit. Plus, Hosley hasn't been a problem either..
Armonty needs to listen to Biggie's 10 Crack Commandments on repeat for the next 24 hours.
If you are football player, selling weed during practice is probably not the best way to stay off the radar. The details from the Sports Grid lead me to believe that Bryant isn't on the honor roll at ECU (if he is they need to change the criteria).
Bryant was selling $20 bags of weed during practice to an undercover police officer not once, but TWICE.
So, after the D Line drills when everyone else was on a water break, Bryant was trying to be Rick Ross? The real Rick Ross, not the rapper who stole his name.
I can't wait until Armonty (nice name) shows up on World's Dumbest Criminals on TRUtv.
Im more concerned about the lack of respect to do it during practice then the actual selling of marijuana

I don't think her hype lives up to the hype as there is a fair bit of cellulite on those legs which I suspect is why she cut them out of the picture. From looking at the selfies you can see that she has put up a very photo shopped version with her kids (plus the 100 sit ups just before the photo was taken). It is just the same as getting a professional photographer to do the family portrait which always looks better than reality. Good self promoter though.

Last night Jeff White was at the Academy awards, waiting to hear if his work for visual effects had received the top honors. He and his team at Industrial Light & Magic — along with Janek Sirrs, Guy Williams, Dan Sudick — had worked tirelessly to bring The Avengers to life on the big screen, helping Joss Whedon realize his vision. Jeff and his team had received the films only Oscar nomination in the category of Visual Effects.
White has worked on some of the most popular (and geeky) movies of the last decade, including Van Helsing, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, xXx: State of the Union, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Transformers (1, 2, & 3), and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

I would like to know what the recipe for queen candy that is put in the queen cages, yall know the white soft stuff, all info is appreciated.
recipe for queen candy
. It is made by mixing icing sugar (powdered sugar) with honey until it is the consistency of putty .
Just to put it out there. There is a difference between powdered sugar and confectioners sugar(what we think of as powdered sugar) Don't use confectioner sugar.
- Tim
http://www.geocities.com/beekeepersofalbemarle/http://www.tidewaterbeekeepers.org
> Don't use confectioner sugar
Why not use confectioner's sugar?
Who ever said that 3% cornstarch is going to hurt
the bees in the least? Heck, many beekeepers use
"fondant" (soft candy) that they buy from bakery
supply houses, and that has specs of up to 5%
"other than sugar" content.
In the queen-cage plug application, the candy
is an insignificant fraction of any one bee's
diet, and is only eaten for a matter of a week
at most by the queen and the attendants while
in shipping. Once in the hive, the plug is
consumed by a large number of hive workers,
each one only getting a few bites as the bees
crowd around to release the queen.
Everyone involved will be able to void their
wastes in a timely manner, so there is never
and reason to have concerns about using
confectioners (powdered) sugar for queen cages.
While there may be some beekeepers with concerns
about feeding something with 3% corn starch
to an overwintering colony, fondant is most often
a "last-ditch" feeding tactic, fed when it is
not yet warm enough to expect the bees to use
a feeder, and one needs to put food "in contact"
with the cluster. The period before it becomes
warm enough to fly and void wastes is not going
to be long enough (absolutely NEVER very long
in Moyock, NC, down by the coast) for 3% to
make any impact on the bees.
Regardless, if your choice is feeding something
that is slightly less "pure", or having the colony
starve, I think I know which choice you will pick.
A colony with dysentery can be cured. A colony
that starves is dead and gone forever.
See http://bee-quick.com/reprints/sugar.pdf
for a run-down on all the sweeteners that
compete with honey.
IMO Powdered sugar and HFCS should be used and mixed until you have a thick paste that does not run at a temp. of +/- 95 deg.
It is not recommended by any agency to use honey, because of the risk of transfering diseases. (foulbrood) Corn syrup does not dry out as fast as water when used with the powdered sugar. This is what I use in my shipping cages when I ship queens.

I add Fumidil B to the mixture. Don't know if it helps but it doesn't hurt.
thanks for the info guys but I wasnt looking for a winter feed , just to make some candy to use in some older queen cages to help introduce 1 of my good queens in to a week hive.
Where I live they just use a piece of marshmallow. They dip the marshmallow in water (or put it in their mouths for a moment), and just stick it in.


text: I got in a debate with someone that claims premium gas s better gas. I asked him to define better, he said that premium gas: contains better detergents burns cleaner better mileage give more horsepower He is wrong on the first three points. The more power is true ONLY if your engine requires premium fuel. He was driving a Silverdo with a 5.3L engine. I told him unless he has re-tuned his ECU with a programmer, running premium was only going to take more money out of his wallet. He refused to believe me and said that his truck just runs better on premium. I stopped the discussion as he has convinced himself of this. I have noticed that people that run premium gas tend to want to thump their chests a lot more about the automobiles. You try to tell people that octane is simply a combustion inhibitor and does not contain secret amounts of power. They won't hear of it. Ignorance at its finest.

new "kid" on the block
I think it is a good habit on forums like this, to give a brief introduction of yourself.
I have been registered in January and have since even posted some questions / thoughts. So far I have mainly used the forum to gather information about CEH. What are the objectives, what are the recommended literature and if the course is hands-on. In short, I did some reconnaisance and footprinting on the examen(objectives) of CEH (hi hi).
Last Friday I passed the CWSP exam from the CWNP. From today I can fully focus myself on preparing the CEH exam. Yesterday I ordered the necessary books. I will follow the path of self-study! Besides the literature, I want make use of CBT-lessons. I wonder if anyone has this experience? What order you to, and importantly, what order you not to!
I'm looking forward to make the necessary knowledge for the CEH exam my own. I think it could be a good addition to my other certificates, all related to risk and security management. I hope that during my preparation time and beyond, I may use the knowledge and experience of the other members of this forum.
I do want to thank already everyone in advance for sharing their knowledge and experience with me.

The University of Colorado at Boulder has contracted with MCI to provide a dial-in Internet service to be paid for by individual users who now routinely receive busy signals when they try to dial in to university servers.
Demand by students, faculty and staff for modem service to access the Internet, World Wide Web and electronic mail far outpaces the system's capabilities.
The university's Computing and Network Services will continue to maintain some 400 existing modem pools for use by students, faculty and staff. For information call CNS at 492-6543.
For information and to sign up for the CU-Boulder pay-for-service modem pool, students, faculty and staff should call (800) 660-3787. Accounts will be activated on completion of an agreement form, and bills will be sent monthly to individual subscribers.
The new modem service is a component of "campus MCI Internet," a package of services provided by MCI to CU-Boulder. Individuals can access e-mail through an 800 number via modem from anywhere in the country.
Fees include a $10 one-time start-up fee, plus a charge of $12 per month for 60 hours of use between 6 a.m. and 1 a.m. Between the hours of 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. subscribers have unlimited access.
The monthly rate is significantly lower than that of other Internet service providers and provides SLIP/PPP service at speeds up to 28.8 kilobytes per second, electronic mail account capabilities and access to the World Wide Web and Internet news groups, according to Mark Dubin, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs and the Boulder campus chief information officer.
"We are pleased to link up with MCI to provide additional modem services," said Dubin. "Information technology is vital to the campus and is fast becoming an integral part of education. This agreement helps the university maintain an active role in technology and provides students, faculty and staff with the tools they need to be connected to the Internet."
According to Roger Hoaglund, regional director of MCI's state government and university markets, "campus MCI Internet solves the challenge that universities and colleges face in providing fast, reliable service at an economical cost. MCI has been happy to work closely with the University of Colorado at Boulder to help provide the best Internet access at the lowest cost."

yeah, it certainly does. Wonderin whether a diamond in the rough will land in my hands!
My pleasure. It's one of the advantages of getting the league finalized quickly. Things seem to be moving real smoothly this season. It should be a lot of fun. My draft spot in particular has been kind of tricky. Looking forward to seeing if the hard work and preparation will pay off!
Kevin Love out for two months... Draft implications...
I would have kept that under my hat. lol. All my draft strategy is top secret until the draft is over.
Well, Drath doesn't know how to read, so not all of the team managers will be privvy to his post.
We haven't really even started yet and the tensions are already running high. This is going to be a fun year.
Hours away!
2 hours to go..
Utterly enjoyable draft. It clocked in at 1 hour, 18 min. Good pool of FAs left as well and surely some trade action in the near future also.
Agreed! Any one care to do a draft analysis of the teams?
My team is better than Darth's team.
Who are 'MotorCity PinkGators' and 'Urban Achievers'...?
Pinkgators and Walter "Urban Achievers" are new GMs and members of PF.Com
Walt. Sorry, missed that earlier. Welcome to ADV Same to Pinkgators, except I have no idea who the PF poster is
does anyone have a C he would like to trade?
I'd be willing to trade one.
Deal done! Thank you sir!
