Hey guys, I recently wrote an article about home invasions. I have noticed more and more lately that these criminal acts are becoming a BIG deal (and not just in the movies). So I wanted to help and give people a few easy tips to get them to be better prepared in the event that this happened to them. If you could give me just a couple minutes of your time I would love for you to read my article and give me any feedback you have, whether it be good or bad. And remember, I targeted this article to beginners; I don't get into anything really deep (though I plan on writing more articles giving more expert planning advice in the near future).
Thanks in advance!

text: I removed the last of my honey supers today. I had already extracted once and replaced the supers for a second harvest. After extracting the ripe frames, I still have alot of frames that are partially capped or filled with no capping at all. I would like to feed this back to the bees, but I put on my Apigaurd today and dont want to contaminate my frames by putting them back on the hive. I thought about open feeding far away from the hives? If I do this do I need to uncap the cells that are capped? The only problem I have with open feeding is the fact that I will be feeding the wasps and yellow jackets also (as well as other peoples bees perhaps). Would these frames be ok until my apiguard is off the hives? Could I extract this unripe honey and feed it back in top-feeders? It is alot of "honey" and I dont want it to go to waste.

Your thoughts on 8 frame vs 10 frame equipment?
Your thoughts on 8 frame vs 10 frame equipment?
I use almost all 8 frame, but with a couple of odd 10s that I use when my census is large.
8 frame pluses:
Lighter when full of honey
More room makes it easier to get the first frame out - a bigger deal than it might sound like.
A single can be used just like a traditional nuc - so you don't really need any special nuc sized equipment.
Minus on 8 frame
Sources of equipment is a little more limited.
a really good honey hive gets 25% taller.
If you use an excluder to make swarm season inspections quicker then you will probably put one more box in the brood nest, so it is an extra box to go through.
Winter configuration might also require another box - although I have had great success overwintering both singles and doubles. But it will depend on your preferred winter management.
Basically you just need more boxes which adds to expense.
I like 8 frame equipment better than 10 frame. Lighter for sure. I only wish I could find a good foam telescoping outer cover for them.
I would say its mostly just a preference. I read a lot about all mediums being the way to go as far as 10 frame stuff. But, many people stick to the traditional configurations too.
Personally, I have had better luck with packages building up better in the 8 frame boxes. But then again, I guess I could have started my packages in a 10 frame medium box too..
Thank you David and Rob! Currently I only have two hives so it seems it would be smart to make the decision now so I don't end up stuck with a bunch of ten frame stuff. However I have enough equipment ready to expand four more to a total of six. Thanks for the input
I have always used ten frame but am now changing over to eights.I see no difference in buildup but the eights are lighter.
I started with 8 frame and am slowly switching over to 10 frame now. Reasons are primarily because of the increased amount of equipment you need (more boxes for the same number of frames). I decided that even if the boxes are heavier, I can always pull out a couple of extra frames if I need to, to lower the wt. I have also found that when you have a good flow and need to add a lot of supers/boxes, they can get pretty tall in a hurry, and despite weighing less, lifting them higher or from a higher height can be more challenging as well. If I had my own extractor, this wouldn't be an issue, as I would just extract more often, but I have to rent one each time, so tend to leave boxes with honey sitting on the hive longer.
Second reason is that I can buy 10 frame equipment locally, but have to order 8 frame.
I am also in MN and in order to make sure that I am leaving them with the recommended stores to over winter I need to leave them with 3 8 frame boxes and I was using 2 deeps and one medium, which then became an issue when I wanted to do reversals in the spring. Again, could easily have worked around wby using either all medium boxes and 3 deeps, but was trying to use what I had.
In the end, I think it is really about personal preference. If you are concerned about weight, have a place to store boxes with capped honey or can easily extract as needed, and have the space to store more supers/boxes then go with 8 frame equipment.
You could also try an eight frame hive and see how you like it, before you decide. If you decide in the end to stay with 10 frame equipment, use the 8 frame equipment for a swarm or to start a package or split and then move it 10 frame equipment as it grows.
Thank you Jeff, valid points. I think I may try one and see how I like it, then like you said, I could always use them for swarm traps or whatever. Can't wait for swarms to pop, by the way!!!
Yup 8s are lighter, which means you have to make more trips.....so depends on you..... mine are all tens. gave away all the 8s a few years back... to confusing running both from the truck.
Have you seen this cover made for a 8 frame? http://greenbeehives.com/r28frtetop.html
8 frame hive seem to winter better and the boxes are lighter. I run all eight frame mediums.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I started with 10-frame deeps. Went to medium supers. Then went to 2 deep, medium super 8-frames. If my back keeps going, I'll be using 8-frame shallows.
I just wish they made more equipment for 8-frame hives.
Greg Whitehead, Ten Mile, TN
Blog - http://gregsbees.blogspot.com/
All 8 mediums. Want to save my back and work bees when I'm 70.
I started with "standard" 10-frame double-deeps and supers. Now I also have hives that are all 8-frame mediums. What everyone has said is true, both pros and cons. I'm still trying to decide which to go with when I expand.
For me, the biggest pros of 8-frame mediums are
1) all standard sized frames - I can move food/brood/eggs anywhere I need to, and
2) the bees seem to fill the boxes to the edges easier. I don't see neglected frames on the edges in 8-frame hives.
The biggest con for 8-frame equipment is that you have many more frames and boxes to move around when you do full inspections. It takes more time, which irritates the bees more If you normally overwinter with two 10-frame deeps, the equivalent is four 8-frame mediums. You could avoid this problem by using both 8-frame deeps and mediums, but then you lose out on the interchangeability of the frames.
Hope this helps!
Here in KY, I can winter over in 3 mediums. Last winter, I had 3 splits that wintered over in 2 mudiums.
Ten frame shallows and deeps. The only reason is because we've had them for decades, and a guy who quit gave us even more. Too cost-prohibitive to replace everything.
8 frame for me....bad back!
8 frame medium and 8 frame deeps. looking to see how they go. I solved the problem with hard to get items and build my own equipment.
8 frame boxes with 9 1.25" frames inside. All the benefits of 8 frame hives and almost as much surface area as 10 frames.
Learning beekeeping one mistake at a time.
I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of 8-frame compatible equipment. Mann Lake's newest catalog for instance has all kinds of 8-frame stuff, and doesn't even really have a separate 8-frame equipment section; the 8-frame-size choices are right there in an item's normal catalog listing. I suspect this will become a standard thing for most catalogs within a year or two.
Beeless since 2012; coming back in 2014. Suffering from apicultural withdrawal!
I started with all 8 frame mediums and now I use all 8 and 10 frame triple deeps for brood chambers and mediums for supers.

For-Profit Trade School Admissions Counselor Indicted for Creating Fradulent High School Diplomas
Wifredo A. Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Yessyka Santana, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General, Investigation Services, Southeastern Region, and John V. Gillies, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Miami Field Office, announced that Ricardo Pradel, 31, of Miami, was charged in a one count indictment with federal financial aid fraud, in violation of Title 20, United States Code, Section 1097.
If convicted of this charge, the defendant faces a maximum statutory term of up to five (5) years' imprisonment.
As alleged in the indictment and other court documents, between September 2007 and April 2010, Ricardo Pradel, worked as an admissions counselor for the American Institute, a for-profit trade school in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida. During this time, Pradel is alleged to have created false high school diplomas that were placed into prospective student files. These files were used to gain admission and to support false applications for federal financial aid. As a direct result of these fraudulent documents, ineligible students at the American Institute received approximately $156,000 in federal financial aid to which they were not entitled.
Mr. Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General and the FBI for their work on this case. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Marc Anton.
An indictment is only an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Twenties time
Amy Adams got ahead of herself at the Golden Globes with hairdo inspired by The Great Gatsby. The much-anticipated and sure to be highly stylised Baz Luhrmann movie isn't due out until mid-year, but is bound to inspire a swathe of 1920s beauty looks. Though many stars on the red carpet at an elegant Globes favoured classic updos and softer tumbling versions of Old Hollywood-style 40s curls, Adams modernised the 20s Marcel wave.
Stylist Laini Reeves for Moroccanoil said the aim was to use Art Deco references in a looser more contemporary way that complemented the actor's nude-coloured off-the-shoulder Marchesa gown. "I wanted to create a sense of freedom so the hair didn't look like a set. Hair on top was smooth, with the waved detail starting 3 inches from the root. I really liked the way it fell, and kept the entire look soft."
A small, loose, twisted bun was pinned low on the side of the nape behind the waved detail and shine added with Moroccan Glimmer Shine Spray ($39.50) to avoid the tight, matte period look.
To try a similar style at home use a volumising shampoo and conditioner, then make a side part and brush hair into place. Try air drying it with fingers, then placing a clip where you want the wave to begin before using a soft shine spray from root to end to reflect the style detail.
"Then I used a large crimping iron to form the wave, taking 2-inch vertical sections, starting at a face-flattering point alongside the corner of the eyebrow," Reeves explains. She used more shine spray, brushed through with a soft bristle brush before pulling hair to the lower right side. "After making a ponytail (held with a hair band), I twisted the hair around my fingers and rolled it into a little bun supported with gold bobby pins." The bun was then loosened for a textured modern look and a holding spray applied.
On the move
Amber D, M.A.C's senior artist in New Zealand will soon be sharing her skills with the Australians. She will team up with her Australian counterpart Nicole Thompson in working across both countries.
Both women are regulars on the international fashion circuit, with Amber D heading to New York and London next month, followed by Tokyo, meaning her official move to Sydney under the new title of Senior Artist Oceania is still a few months off.
As a leading force in fashion shows, entertainment industry work and editorial shoots in New Zealand her full-time presence will be missed, but the merged artistry team arrangement means she gets the best of both worlds, based in a bigger market but also keeping in touch with artists she has mentored here. Amber D's progression from starting work on the counter at Smith & Caughey a decade ago to being a leading hand at shows in Paris and Milan is an example of why M.A.C has one of the highest retention rates in the beauty business. Look out for tweets from Amber D once the international show season gets under way next month.

Hi all, I'm a new bee keeper with a Warre hive which I just filled with bees in May. Everything was going great and the bees filled the first box rapidly, but like other posters here, they didn't seem to want to move downward. Being new, I figured maybe they were shifting their energy into taking care of brood. Soon, my population seemed to diminish, and then UGG! Ants moved in! I put Vaseline, cinnamon, borax, an ant trap (not in the hive, but near where the ants were marching two by two, but nothing seemed to help. (My hive stand couldn't accommodate oil cans, but I've now reconfigured it to do so). Shortly thereafter, what few bees I had decided to swarm. With the help of a more experienced bee keeper I was able to capture them, cleaned out the hive as best I could, and put them in a fresh ant free box, along with any comb I could that was ant free. There was almost no honey and only a speckle of capped brood.Alas, the next morning they were gone.
Fast forward two days. Another bee keeper kindly brought me a cutout around 10ish at night and we hived them as best we could, with an empty barless box now occupying the top of the hive (they were in a foul mood so we thought it best to dump and run). He also brought me some brood comb in various stages of shape, which a day later I placed back in the hive.
So here are my problems, in no particular order: 1) My bees, and the comb they were in are 4.9, and these bees are much bigger. Is this going to be a problem (I really liked my small cell bees)? 2) The keeper who brought them said he hadn't seen a queen, and at this point, despite windows in my hive, I haven't either, but who can tell when there's like a million of them in there?!! 3) Right now what I've got are three boxes on. The middle box has no bars, the bottom a few combs and all the bars, and the top box a large brood comb, a smaller comb, both rather precariously wired in. I need to get bars back in so they don't do that Tower of Babel thing, but they've been so freaked out that I didn't want to disturb them again until things calm down.After reading other folks' posts, maybe having bars but no comb in the middle is a good thing, as it might encourage them to build downward (or upward, depending on how you look at it ) 4Do I requeen? Wait and see? How long?Hope that I don't end up with a laying worker? And if there is a queen in there, will a new queen kill her, vice versa, or a crapshoot? These bees don't seem as gentle as mine, but it might be too early to tell. Help (and yes, opening the hive is a bit scary for me since I'm new and have no second set of hands. Awaiting all your good advice, cordially Laura

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Born Juan Esteban Aristizábal Vásquez on August 9, 1972, in Carolina del Príncipe, Antioquia, Colombia, Juanes began to learn how to play guitar at age seven, taught by his father and older brothers. His passion for the instrument led him to learn traditional Latin sounds such as boleros, tangos, and cumbias as well as Colombian folk music styles such as vallenatto and guasca. During his upbringing in Colombia he also became steadily acquainted with the grief endured by his fellow countrymen. In particular, his cousin was executed by kidnappers, and a close friend was killed by gunmen. He also lost his father to cancer, which only furthered his sense of grief.
As a teenager, Juanes and his guitar playing drifted toward heavy metal, influenced greatly by Metallica and other bands of that ilk. This led to his founding of the metal band Ekhymosis, which went on to considerable success, releasing seven albums in ten years (1988-1998) and enjoying a sizable following in Colombia. He eventually chose to depart the band and pursue a solo career. With guitar in hand, he moved to Los Angeles and brought along a cassette demo that got passed along to producer Gustavo Santaolalla, an Argentine transplant. Santaolalla heard promise in the demo, contacted Juanes, and ultimately signed him to his record label, Surco.
In 2000 Juanes and Santaolalla began work on what would become Fijate Bien, and the singer/songwriter/guitarist also partnered with manager Fernan Martinez, a fellow Colombian who had previously stood beside Enrique Iglesias during that artist's rise to international fame. With everything in place for Juanes, Surco, in association with Universal Music Latino, released Fijate Bien on October 17, 2000. The album sold very well in Colombia, where it spent ten weeks at number one, but it was slow to catch on elsewhere, spinning off a few modest hits: the title track, "Nada," and "Podemos Hacernos Dano." It was a pleasant surprise, then, when it was announced in July 2001 that Juanes had received a whopping seven Latin Grammy nominations. Such recognition brought a lot of international attention to Fijate Bien, especially once Juanes won three Grammys, including Best New Artist. He also performed at the ceremony.
Immediately following his Grammy wins, Juanes returned to Santaolalla's Surco studio in Los Angeles, bringing with him demos for over 40 new songs that would become the basis of Un Día Normal. He completed work on the album in February 2002 and the lead single, "A Dios le Pido," was sent to radio stations throughout the U.S. and Latin America in April. The God-addressing song became an anthem in much of Latin America, a sort of prayer for peace throughout that often troubled part of the world. It went on to top the charts in 12 countries on three continents, and spent 47 consecutive weeks on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks chart, a large percentage of those weeks spent firmly lodged in the Top Five. It also spent more than four straight months atop the Colombian chart, breaking a record formerly held by countrymate Shakira.
Surco/Universal unveiled Un Día Normal on May 21, 2002, and it lived up to the promise of its lead single and its predecessor, becoming perhaps the most successful Latin album ever released to date. The album was much brighter than Fijate Bien (Juanes himself described Un Día Normal as the dawn that followed the night of its predecessor), and it spun off numerous hit singles, most notably a duet ballad with Nelly Furtado, "Fotografia," which the duo would go on to perform at the following Latin Grammy ceremony. Un Día Normal sold millions of copies worldwide, spending 92 weeks in the Top Ten of Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart. Its accolades are far too many to list, as seemingly the entire world seemed to celebrate Juanes throughout the remainder of 2002 and into the following year. He toured the world and set all kinds of attendance records, performed at all kinds of ceremonies and telecasts, and inspired gushing praise from critics (from The New York Times: "Juanes is a figure like Bono or Sting: an idealistic songwriter who never forgets how to entertain").
Following the whirlwind of Un Día Normal, Juanes once again headed straight to the studio, in May 2004, to begin work on what would become Mi Sangre. The lead single, "Nada Valgo Sin Tu Amor," hit radio on August 12, 2004, bumped up to prevent unauthorized leaks, and the album hit the streets on September 28. Critics generally loved Mi Sangre, legions of fans bought it, and Juanes promoted it nonstop, once again mounting a mammoth tour (over 200 dates) and performing at all kinds of telecasts, in-stores, and ceremonies. All the while he again swept up one award after another (including France's highest cultural honor, L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres) and tallied up yet more chart-topping hits (including "La Camisa Negra," which was a number one hit across Western Europe, in addition to the Americas). Though his chart-topping was confined to the Latin market in the United States, Juanes was recognized for his global outreach, as Time magazine counted him among its list of "the 100 most influential people in the world today."
La Vida...Es un Ratico (2007), the fourth album by Juanes, was globally anticipated and proved an immediate hit. The album's lead single, "Me Enamora," had already hit number one in 14 countries by the time of the album's release, including seven consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Latin chart in the United States. In Colombia, physical copies of La Vida...Es un Ratico were reportedly sold out within the first day of release. His fifth studio album, 2010's P.A.R.C.E., was recorded in London and produced by Stephen Lipson. Tr3s Presents Juanes: MTV Unplugged, a career-spanning live set recorded in Miami Beach in front of an enthusiastic audience, appeared in 2012.
Juanes re-emerged with the pre-release single "La Luz" in December of 2013. It nailed the top spot on various Billboard Latin charts. His follow-up album, Loco de Amor, was produced by Steve Lillywhite and issued in March of 2014. It too reached number one on the Latin charts, as well as in Colombia, and won Juanes a Latin Grammy as well, for Best Pop/Rock Album. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Chapter 2 The Pre-Travel Consultation
Perspectives: Prioritizing Care for the Resource-Limited Traveler
Travelers seen in pre-travel clinic consultations often have financial constraints. Prioritizing immunizations and prophylactic medications should be part of an individualized assessment based on the travel itinerary, efficacy and safety of vaccines and medications, and associated costs. Travelers must often pay out of pocket for pre-travel care, as many health insurance plans do not cover travel immunizations or prophylaxis. As an example, the estimated cost of a US pre-travel consultation for a backpacker planning a 4-week trip to West Africa may be as high as $1,400 for the initial consultation and vaccinations, excluding malaria chemoprophylaxis. However, travelers with limited budgets tend to be at higher risk for travel-associated infections, as they often visit remote areas, stay in lower-grade accommodations, and are more likely to eat local street food. Therefore, the cost of disease (such as malaria) may, in many cases, outweigh costs of vaccination and prophylaxis. The financial benefits of obtaining travel health insurance and evacuation insurance before travel must also be considered (see Travel Insurance, Travel Health Insurance, & Medical Evacuation Insurance later in this chapter). Clinicians need to understand travelers' financial constraints in order to provide realistic recommendations. The variety of insurance plans, number of travelers without adequate insurance coverage, and number of student and budget travelers challenges even the most savvy travel medicine clinicians. This section provides guidance for busy practitioners in prioritizing vaccine and prophylaxis choices.
Required Vaccines
Only 2 vaccines are categorically required for some travelers: meningococcal vaccine for pilgrims traveling to Mecca during the Hajj and yellow fever vaccine for travelers to certain countries in Africa and South America (see Chapter 3, Yellow Fever & Malaria Information, by Country). If either of these vaccines is required for an itinerary, prioritize it since the traveler may be denied entry to the country without proof of vaccination. Note that travelers who may only be staying in a yellow fever–endemic country briefly (such as during an airport layover) may still need evidence of vaccination to enter other countries on their itinerary. In a few specific circumstances, travelers to countries that are exporting polio may be asked to show proof of polio vaccination before they are allowed to leave those countries if they have spent >4 weeks in the country (see Chapter 3, Poliomyelitis).
Routine Vaccines
CDC recommends that all travelers should be up-to-date with routine vaccines before international travel, regardless of destination. The benefits of vaccine administration extend beyond the travel period, and in many cases lifelong immunity is achieved. Routine vaccines are generally associated with lower costs, since they are mass-produced as part of the scheduled national childhood and adult vaccination programs. Moreover, many health insurance plans will reimburse the patient for the cost of vaccine administration. If cost of routine vaccines is a limitation, a traveler can explore opportunities for obtaining them in a health department or primary care setting, where cost may be lower than in a travel clinic. Prioritize the routine vaccines that protect against diseases for which the traveler is most likely to be at general risk. At this time, top priorities for most destinations would include vaccines against influenza, measles, and hepatitis A and B.
Recommended Vaccines
Review the itinerary to determine the need for specific vaccines based on destination or purpose of travel, such as rabies vaccine for adventure travelers going to endemic countries or Japanese encephalitis vaccine for travelers to rural areas of Asia during the local transmission season. In addition, availability of postexposure rabies prophylaxis in the destination country should be considered. Recent surveys of US embassy medical staff show that in up to 37% of locations worldwide, rabies vaccine or immune globulin were available only "sometimes" to "never."
In some cases, the patient may be immune to the disease for which immunization is being considered. Testing for antibody concentrations may be covered by insurance while vaccines are not. Specifically, hepatitis A and B vaccines should be considered for most travelers, especially those with underlying liver disease. Testing for immunity to these infections may determine whether vaccination is warranted.
Also consider time until departure, risk of disease at the destination, effectiveness and safety of vaccine, and likelihood of repeat travel. For example, parenteral typhoid vaccine may be less cost-effective for certain travelers (especially when departures are imminent and trip duration is short) because of the relatively low efficacy, short duration of protection, and time needed for onset of protection.
Educate about alternative ways to reduce risk. For example, advise travelers to avoid animal bites and seek care for such bites should they occur, use insect precautions, and observe food and water precautions at all times. All travelers should practice these preventive behaviors, but they are critical for travelers who elect not to receive recommended vaccinations for any reason.
Malaria chemoprophylaxis can be a financial burden for the traveler. The risk of acquiring malaria in a traveler staying in air-conditioned hotels and commuting in a rented car is much lower than that assumed by the backpacker staying in a rural guesthouse or the traveler returning to his or her native land staying with friends or relatives. Tailoring advice to the traveler's financial needs in addition to his or her medical needs can improve compliance with prophylaxis and protect those who are at highest risk.
Every pre-travel consultation should include detailed advice about preventing mosquito bites (see Protection against Mosquitoes, Ticks, & Other Arthropods later in this chapter). Malaria chemoprophylaxis, if needed, should be offered based on the risk profile of the traveler.
Costs associated with the different regimens vary widely. For example, based on current prices in the United States, a prophylactic treatment course for a 3-week trip to a malaria-endemic destination would cost $100–$250 for doxycycline, $50–$70 for chloroquine, $100 for mefloquine, and $200–$250 for atovaquone-proguanil (depending on health insurance and other factors). Atovaquone-proguanil cost may be equivalent to that of mefloquine for short trips, but mefloquine (or chloroquine, in the few regions where malaria remains susceptible) will be more cost-effective for trips lasting 2 weeks or more. Travelers who raise the question of purchasing antimalarial drugs at their destination must be advised about the risk of inappropriate, substandard, and counterfeit medications (see Perspectives: Pharmaceutical Quality & Counterfeit Drugs later in this chapter).
Budget travelers and those who cannot afford costly travel vaccines will continue to challenge travel medicine practitioners. Such travelers will benefit from additional strategies to safeguard their health during travel. These strategies include following safety (especially road traffic safety) and security guidelines and observing sun protection, following insect precautions, avoiding food hazards, and following safe sexual practices. Travelers can be reassured that the actions they take to avoid these hazards may, in the long run, be more beneficial than obtaining vaccines or prophylaxis for diseases of low prevalence.

At First Glance
When designer Michael Murphy first set foot inside the outdated home his clients had purchased on the water in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, he admits he was skeptical. Not content to merely judge a book by its cover, however, Murphy pressed on—looking past the ashy paneling, bad wallpaper, and cramped drop ceilings to see the true soul of the home.
Murphy found the vintage flag while shopping at flea markets in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Getting Away With Murder
CPJ's 2015 Global Impunity Index spotlights countries where journalists are slain and the killers go free
Published October 8, 2015
The ambush of a convoy in South Sudan and the hacking deaths of bloggers in Bangladesh this year propelled the two nations onto CPJ's Global Impunity Index, which spotlights countries where journalists are murdered and their killers go unpunished. Colombia exited the index as fatal violence against journalists receded further into that country's past.
For the first time since CPJ began compiling the index in 2008, Iraq did not claim the title of worst offender, as Somalia edged into that spot. The shift reflects a steady death toll in Somalia, where one or more journalists have been murdered every year over the past decade, and the government has proved unable or unwilling to investigate the attacks.

Pay tribute to Britain's Forgotten Army - Monday, 10 August 2009
A free day of commemorations to pay tribute to the gallant efforts of Britain's Forgotten Army will mark the 64th anniversary of Victory in Japan (VJ) Day at Fort Nelson on Saturday, August 15.
Uniformed "soldiers" will fire two, 25-pounder field guns simultaneously in an explosive tribute to mark the anniversary, at 12noon and 3pm.
Both gun firings will be followed by live performances from the Royal Armouries' team of resident actors. They will present the Second World War story of the 'Chindits' – British and Commonwealth soldiers who staged some of the greatest raids behind enemy lines of the entire War.
The Royal Armouries is one of the few organisations to regularly mark the anniversary, highlighting the nation's immense debt of gratitude to those who endured enormous suffering in the Far East.
The programme will include guided tours and a chance to view the museum, which houses the national collection of historic cannon and big guns. The museum has one of the world's finest collections, with over 350 cannon dating back over 600 years. The collection originated from HM Tower of London and has been on display in Hampshire since 1995.
Museum entry is free and there is a whole range of attractions, designed to appeal to young and old alike, including secret underground tunnels and chambers to explore.

There's nothing like getting away from it all.
But vacations seem to be too few and far between. One way to escape the pressures and hectic pace of "city" life is to head to the hills. Hiking as a form of fitness is surging in popularity and it isn't hard to see why—it's a great mind/body exercise.
Not only can you get a great workout, but taking a hike, alone or with a friend, is also a great way to forget your cares and spend a little time with Mother Nature.
The essentials of hiking are similar to walking—they are simply taken off-road. The best way to get started is to find a safe, cleared path—many state parks have trails marked out with distances and the approximate time it takes to go from point A to point B. For added safety, take a friend or your dog along, and never go hiking after dark.
Another reason to stick to the trails: poison oak or ivy. Your best defense against these skin irritants is to stay clear of them. Don't trust yourself to identify these pesky plants; stick to the trail and avoid brushing against foliage whenever possible.
Shoes with good traction are an absolute must, particularly if you plan to head up or down any hills. Many manufacturers make shoes designed specifically for trail walking, although you can get by with a good pair of running or walking shoes. Hiking boots, particularly the lightweight variety, are great for keeping your feet dry—streams and ponds often appear unexpectedly after a rainfall. The most important thing to consider when choosing a shoe is the fit; you don't want blisters or chafing to keep you from enjoying yourself.
It's always a good idea to bring along some water and even a snack when heading out, even for shorter hikes. Don't let yourself get so distracted by the beautiful sights around you that you forget to drink fluids and become dehydrated. Drink at least 7–10 ounces of water every 20 minutes, even when the weather is cold.
Dress in layers, particularly during unpredictable weather seasons such as spring and fall. Insect repellent and plenty of sunscreen also are essential. You may want to invest in a day pack that straps around your waist to keep these items close at hand.
How fast you take to the trails is up to you and what you want to accomplish. A hike can be an intense workout or a time to relax your mind and enjoy nature, or both—the choice is yours.
If you want to increase the intensity of your workout, hills are a great way to do it. When starting out, take it easy and give your muscles, particularly your quadriceps (the front of the thigh) and calves, time to adapt to the increased demands of hiking.
Once you've been hiking regularly for a few weeks, give yourself a challenge by tackling a hill or two. Not only will this increase your muscular strength and endurance, you'll notice a big improvement in your cardiovascular endurance as well.
Hiking is a great activity to add to your existing fitness regimen. Not only can it add variety and spice up your routine, but integrating hiking into your workouts also will give you the benefits of cross-training.
Rather than giving the same muscles the same workout day after day, hiking will challenge your muscles to perform in a whole new way. But perhaps the greatest benefit of hiking is the chance to get away from it all, if only for just a short while.

A term used to describe a psychological phenomenon in which an individual who participates in crossfit becomes impressed by, and consequently attracted to, muscle definition that is associated with WOD performance, especially that of the posterior chain. This phenomenon increasingly appears in daily life and is applied to non-crossfitters, causing deviation from social norms of attractiveness and a strong preference for 'dat ass.

This is how I plan to build my sideline SC business.
Please feel free to question, criticize, or offer advice anywhere you like.
First last year,
2011 Summary:
$10,465 gross revenue about $5,000 net (after equipment, gas, misc., & wife tax)
$9,110 from removals (14)
$475 from swarm captures (13)
$375 from bee sales (3)
$505 from farmed out removals (removals sold by me but done by thers)
16 Hives going into winter
Next Years goals:
$15,000 gross revenues - $7,500 net
$12,000 from removals (20)
$750 from swarm captures (20)
$1,500 from bee sales (10)
$750.00 from honey sales (250 Lbs.)
End the year with around 40 hives and 20 nucs
Long Term Goals:
Build up to about 400 500 colonies over the next 10 years till retirement
Our basic overall plan is to use the revenue and bees from removals and feral swarm captures to build our small sideline business over the next 10 years till we retire from our regular jobs.
All our hives are foundationless 8 frame mediums. Our goal is to be treatment free, but we will treat if necessary. Any hives treated will have the queen replaced as soon as possible.
Management Changes from last year:
Have 40 new hives and accessories ready to go by April 1st. (I make all my own equipment and last year I was caught completely by surprise and struggled to keep up with all the bees coming in from removals and swarms.)
This winter I will prospect more for removals and swarms so I can cheery pick the higher paying jobs better. Farm out or trading the cheap removals to others.
Dont pass on any swarm calls before June 1st (primary swarms really take off fast).
Sell all swarms caught that miss our spring flow, or set them up to overwinter as nucs to cut down on winter feeding.
1st box will always be foundationless frames. (bees seldom abscond from foundationless and generally draw the 1st box of frames straight)
2nd box will be PF 100s in order to have straighter drawn combs for laddering up latter.
3rd and additional boxes, will be foundationless frames interspersed with laddered up straight comb from lower boxes.
Raise and bank about a dozen queens in May.
Last year most of the queens from cut outs were super-seeded within 2 months. Used Michael Bushs panacea technique to allow the hives to raise a new queen but invariably lost 5 weeks of egg laying, which really set the hives back. This year I plan to either introduce a new queen if I have one at day 10 if eggs are absent, or start the panacea technique at day 3 if I don't.
Input from you commercial guys would really be appreciated.

Thought I'd just drop a quick note giving the status of my (now) populated TBH.
I don't have any photos yet but I'll take some as soon as the hive is a little more established and the temps warm up a little more.
Basically, cutting to the chase: the girls seem to love it! Since the swarming impluse is so strong this time of year, here in north Texas and swarms are "famous" for festuning (sp?) and drawing out comb like crazy, I decided a swarm was the best way to get my TBH up and running. And it appears to be working very well.
I got a swarm call on Friday and that evening I stopped by after work and picked them up. I got the queen and marked her and put her in a cage and hung it between two of the top bars. I did this just to "force" the swarm to stay put and of couse keep track of the marked queen (for the future). I put on a half-gallon of heavy sugar syrup (via an entrance feeder) and thought I'd release the queen the following Sunday evening.
Late Sunday afternoon, I went out to check on the hive. The bees had taken down a little sugar syrup (but not as much as I would have expected). But the big surprise was the amount of comb that had been drawn out from my starter strips. They were going like gangbusters! I'll post some pics before too long.

Hurricane Help for Schools connects schools, organizations willing to help hurricane victims
New Web resource located at www.ed.gov/katrina
en Español
September 6, 2005
Contacts: Susan Aspey, Sarah Sauber
(202) 401-1576
President Bush today announced another resource in the nation's continuing efforts to assist the victims of Hurricane KatrinaHurricane Help for Schools, a new Web page aimed at getting additional supplies to schools serving students displaced by the hurricane.
"A lot of school districts are taking in these children who have had to leave their homes and their local districts. And we want to thank the schools and the school districts and the teachers and the PTAs for reaching out and doing their duty," President Bush said. "[The Dept. of Education] will set up a Web page... that will enable people from around the country to be able to access the Department of Education Web page to determine how they can help these school districts that are bringing in the new students."
Hurricane Help for Schools can be accessed through the Department of Education's Web sitewww.ed.gov/katrinaand will serve as a clearinghouse of resources for Americans who want to help the students displaced by the hurricane. Each week, the Department's Web site logs millions of page views.
"Across the country, we are seeing families, communities and schools open their hearts and doors to children displaced by Hurricane Katrina," Secretary Spellings said. "We are committed to doing everything we can to help as local communities enroll these children in new schools. We must try to restore some sense of structure and normalcy to their lives as quickly as possible. And that includes helping schools accommodate these new students, who will need books, clothes and other supplies."
The Web page is a forum where schools, companies and organizations across the country can come together and work to help students displaced by the hurricane. Companies and organizations can respond to the needs of students and send resources directly to them, and schools will be able to directly contact the companies and organizations offering help.
On one part of the Web page, schools will be able to post their contact information and the supplies the students need. Companies and organizations will be able to view these needs and contact the schools to meet them, or they can click on a different part of the Web page to post what supplies and resources they can offer.
"This Web page will bring together the best of the American spirit and create a network of compassion and charity," Secretary Spellings said. "Schools across the country are taking in displaced students, and Americans want to help them. We are committed to making sure that help gets to those who need it."
In addition to the Web page, Secretary Spellings is leading a number of efforts to help the students affected by the hurricane, and recently announced the following:
- A task force meeting of national education leaders will take place to coordinate and deploy resources, and the Department is in continuous contact with state and local education leaders to provide guidance and support.
- Student loan borrowers living in affected areas may delay payments on their loans without penalty.
- Deadlines for applying to a number of higher education programs have been extended until at least Dec. 1, 2005.
- On a case-specific basis, the Department of Education will relax certain reporting provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act for affected states.

But shipping is free! Isn't that tempting?
If it's really "Grandma-made", I'm sure she's overjoyed that someone's flogging off her lovingly made quilt. But on the other hand if she receives half of the proceeds, I'm sure she wouldn't mind that much any more. :D
WOW, maybe I should do that only sell one to buy my own house near the lake!!
Newbies. :roll:
He could have least included a "Best Offer" option.
He's got a nice sense of humor, and I'm sure it will attract the attention he wants (which was the goal in the first place).
WOW, let me go in the back and shake that tree
