The bees that didn't die in the cages after X days were tested for nosema. The bees that did die before X days in the cages were not.
Apologies, I may have misspoken. As I detailed above, it was nosema that was not screened in the bees that died prematurely (from control and experimental colonies). Again, the study isn't fresh in my head.How do you test for a substance that is known to be below detection limits of a testing procedure?
Someone (or some group) brings up study X, Y, and Z and claim they all support their position.
Reading any of these studies, looking up the references, and giving a fair evaluation is a lot of work. If I've read "study Z", and I know that the claims are not supported, or that it has serious flaws, then I know a few things:
1. The evidence isn't as strong as what is being claimed
2. The person I'm talking to either hasn't read the study closely, or they are dishonest and hope that I will take their evidence at face value.
...in short, I know that the person I'm talking to has proven unwilling or unable to evaluate the available data competently.
Of course, after study Z is discounted, the claim is, "but there is still studies X and Y".
An important step is missing if those commenting on a study haven't read it closely enough to know what it says.
I'm looking forward to reading the RFID studies closely...but thus far the same sources that have been promoting them have been promoting the Harvard study....and I know what the Harvard study says.
The only study that will ever count is one where the treatment produces CCD at will, and also provides detailed evidence for why the symptoms associated with CCD occur.
The studies being discussed are pretty much peripheral to the CCD issue itself.
Re the RFID studies, the Schneider et al study published at the start of the year did not detect neonicotinoid problems at field realistic levels.
if you want some straight talk about CCD watch
Do a search on Dennis van Engelsdorp and listen to what he has to say. He cuts out a lot of the BS>
Land invertebrates are difficult to study the effects of the exposure to contaminants. We have accepted standards for bioassays for aquatic Ceriodaphnia dubia, Pimephales promelas and Mercenaria mercenaria but, bioassays are not a requirement for introducing a new contaminant into the environment.
Terrestrial vertebrate testing we have standards for mice, rats and dogs, but bioassays are rare and are not a requirement. Toxicity testing should also be performed on annelids, insects and birds. There must be a reason why we cannot reach a consensus on an acceptable standard for a bioassay of a land invertebrate.
Oh yeah. . I forgot. It cost industry too much. Let the taxpayers pay for the cleanup years and decades later.
Want to look at history repeating itself? There is an extensive chronology. We don't like to think about those things. We just palm it off someone else to take care of.
Want to look at a resource map of a typical small town in the USA of known groundwater contamination? How about an overlay map of the same town from the CDC of pancreatic cancer cases? What about 300 maps of different towns in the USA?
You can't prove it. All we can do is demonstrate that there are health effects associated with something.
Mathematics itself is only a theory.

In many ways, honeybees are unique in that they do not easily fit in established research methods for chronic exposure.
How do you measure average weight gain of the bees?
How do you compare life span?
What about 2nd and 3rd generation effects?
Reproductivity? What about wax production, or royal jelly? What are the standards?
The problem with field research is that there is an exponential increase in the cost of the research. By introducing dozens of new inherent variables then 100s of more replications are required. The more expensive the research, the less information that is available.
It would make more sense to do most of the background chronic and long-term exposure research on a surrogate such as bumblebee from the same genetic source material, since it would be less expensive, more reproducible, and take less time.
There should be some established long-term exposure health effect standards for honeybees.
We wage a war to save civilization itself
--George w. Bush November 8, 2001
Of course the control colonies were "in the field", and some imidacloprid was found in both the beebread and in randomly aged workers.
In fact, one of the control groups had a large dieoff in the cage....there were not 20 bees left alive to sample, only 11. ...did individuals in this control group die from nosema? ...have a high concentration of imidacloprid metabolites? Wouldn't that be relevant to the results?
...dumbing down an experiment to make it reproducible makes sense in some areas...but if what we want to know is how honeybees do things, we have to study honeybees. If results are only reproducible in bumblebees, how relevant are they to honeybees?It would make more sense to do most of the background chronic and long-term exposure research on a surrogate such as bumblebee from the same genetic source material, since it would be less expensive, more reproducible, and take less time.
I think that is putting the cart before the horse...we can't establish standards without first knowing risks and effects. To determine these, we need good research. Poor science only holds us back and prevents us from determining what standards should be in place.There should be some established long-term exposure health effect standards for honeybees.
Trying to play "gotcha" without reading the study (in trying to show that I was wrong in calling the Pettis study a caged study) is nothing more than a time waster.

Town Square
Brainstorm for downtown residential spillover parking
Original post made by Steve Raney, Crescent Park, on Aug 15, 2013
One of many possible schemes:
* Number on-street parking spaces by the residential property associated with that space, IE spaces by 322 Emerson (between Lytton and Everett) become numbered 322a, 322b, etc. Spaces would be painted onto streets with the numbers painted on.
* Residents may also rent out spaces in their driveway. Residents who choose to rent spaces would then have numbers painted onto their driveway to demarcate spaces that could be numbered 322c, 322d, etc.
* Let's say that the price for a parking space from 9AM to 5PM on weekdays is $4.
* Parkers use the Parking Panda smartphone app (or the web) to reserve spaces for rental in advance, or take available spaces in real time.
* For driveway spaces, residents get 90% of rental income and Parking Panda takes 10%.
* For on-street spaces, residents associated with that space (occupants of 322 Emerson are associated with 322a and 322b) may rent that space for a preferred daily rate of $0.25. Associated residents may reserve spaces up to 30 days in advance. The City takes 100% of this revenue.
* For on-street spaces rented by other folks, those parkers may reserve spaces 48 hours in advance. Of the $4 charge, 25% goes to the landowner associated with the space (this makes the policy politically feasible by generating new income for residents from the public land on the street in front of their house). 10% goes to Parking Panda, and 65% goes to The City.
* Assume that revenue to The City covers project initiation and ongoing operation, and also generates some surplus revenue.
Parking Panda: Web Link
Discussion of a relevant San Francisco parking rule change: Web Link
1. There are many other companies in the "smart parking" field. Parking Panda would not necessarily be the best technology company to supply this solution to The City.
2. This is a "sketch" of an idea. A detailed implementation study with stakeholder feedback will be necessary to address various issues. Numbers and details will be refined by an implementation study.
What do you think?

Interesting idea. Sound like someone has their thinking cap on ... but this implies that the parking spaces in front of your house belong to you, which they do not as far as I understand. You can do that with a driveway, but there are probably precious few driveways that can be rented out and are not being used either for parking or for driveways.

Good stuff, allows real estate owners get some money from a major asset. Now let the SOFA and Downtown North residents build on this idea to make it fit their specific needs.

Excerpts from a Q&A I just had with the with Green Planning Action:
Q1: Please explain why the Parking Panda scheme is so much better than a Residential Parking Permit (RPP) program.
A1: The main point is that the Parking Panda scheme provides more benefits to more stakeholders than RPP. The sharing-economy sensibility is to be more economically efficient than traditional solutions.
For residents, the Panda scheme generates new income for residents who may have previously been irritated by spillover parkers. Residents become entrepreneurial with their driveways and the public spaces in front of their house. Residents can also reserve public spaces in front of their house for a teeny fee (probably less than the parking permit costs per day). This reservation capability is great for guaranteeing a space for infrequent visitors from out of town. With RPP, residents have to pay for permits (they "lose" economically).
For developers of new projects, more spaces are available as downtown grows. The fact that there is a price on parking also means that employees will drive less, reducing SOV (single occupancy vehicle) commute mode share, hence reducing per-capita demand for parking. RPP does not reduce per-capita demand for parking, so developers have to fund more parking spaces per every new square foot they develop.
For downtown workers, more parking spaces are available. And workers can reserve a space in advance, so they don't have to anxiously hunt for a space at 8:45AM when they have a big meeting at 9:00AM. In addition, pricing serves as a motivator for mobility services to be re-configured to be more competitive against SOV commuting. With RPP, there are fewer spaces available, so it is more of a hassle for downtown workers and unnecessary tension is created between residents and workers.
For City of PA, the Panda scheme makes more spaces available, reducing the need for The City (and taxpayers) to fund expensive new parking structures. The scheme puts a price on parking, reducing SOV mode share, hence reducing per capita demand for parking. With RPP, fewer spaces are available for downtown workers, creating the need to build new, expensive parking structures.
Q2: Will the Panda scheme just push spillover issues out further?
A2: There are many implementation details to be worked out, but one scenario would be that parking east of Middlefield would still be free, and there could be some spillover in that area. But this could eventually be remedied by expanding the Panda scheme.
Q3: Any thoughts on climate?
A3: Given our climate issues and given that SOFA/University North residents are upset to the point of considering RPP, putting a price on parking is a sound way to nudge behavior towards a climate-friendly outcome. Charging for parking is the holy grail of suburban bay area "drive less" efforts. Influential stakeholders such as MTC, SVLG, Sierra Club, VTA, ACT (Association for Commuter Transportation) all support charging for parking.

Dear CrescentParkAnon, re "this implies that the parking spaces in front of your house belong to you, which they do not as far as I understand."
1) you are absolutely correct, but ...
2) to win over stakeholders to an innovative new policy, there often has to be something in it for those stakeholders. So the Panda scheme attempts to make the proposal very compelling for SOFA and University North residents.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Aug 19, 2013 at 8:55 pm
From a Q&A I had with an influential Palo Alto stakeholder:
Q1: How would public spaces in front of rental apartments and houses figure into this proposal?
A1: One of many possible solutions for rental apartments is to not offer such apartment residents the preferred price ($0.25) for their associated public spaces. One potential solution for rental houses would be to have a process for owners to register home renters as the occupants entitled to $0.25 per day preferred price of the associated public spaces.
Q2: Do we know that there are enough on-street spaces to allocate in this way to every housing unit? Or does this favor lots with more street frontage?
A2: This would be covered in the detailed study. I'm guessing small footprint houses have 1 public space, more street frontage gives you two public spaces, and a corner house might have 4 public spaces. I suppose if a house has a fire hydrant, they might have 0 public spaces. The obvious point being that the allocation and revenue potential isn't going to be "economically fair."
Q3: How does this Panda scheme handle businesses located in downtown north and SOFA?
A3: One of many possible implementations might designate retail parking spaces with two hour time limits. Surely spaces adjacent to the Panda scheme zone will be impacted in some way and may need their own policy tweaking. For employees of said businesses, this Panda scheme should provide a richer supply of parking opportunities – it should be beneficial.
Q4: How does this Panda scheme handle visitors to residences located in those zones?
A4: Residents could reserve convenient on-street parking spaces for their guests, up to 30 days in advance. This will de-stress the situation at a teeny price.
Q5: How does this take into account the fact that dedicated parking spaces are typically less efficiently used than non-dedicated spaces.
A5: I think that the complaint from the residents near downtown is that the public spaces in front of their homes are used by employees on weekdays from 9-5. So I think the detail study should identify spaces that are used in that manner. But, in general, it's more elegant theoretically to charge by the hour (with "what the market will bear" rates) for all spaces and to not have special preferences for certain classes of people. But my proposal springs from realpolitik, aspiring to political viability by motivating the most influential stakeholders to happily participate in innovation.

In Soul Bubbles the player controls a young shaman apprentice, who is entrusted with saving lost "souls" and guiding them to safety. He must protect these fragile beings from the hostile and dangerous world around them, and he does this by creating protective bubbles to keep the spirits safe. "This will be THE new phenomenon on the Nintendo DS," said Brand Manager Ray Livingston. "Every single person who has picked up this game has fallen in love with it instantly. We can't wait to introduce the world to Soul Bubbles." Manipulate your bubbles by first drawing them, then deflating them, cutting them or joining them to other bubbles, filling them with water or gas; then escape traps, extinguish fires and avoid all the sticky or dangerous surfaces that will slow the bubbles down. The game features 8 worlds, with over 40 levels to explore which will challenge the shaman in a variety of ways – and push the physics capabilities of the Nintendo DS to the max. Soul Bubbles is designed with the next generation of casual gamers in mind.

The main difference with -ocratio- is that -seqlogit- has
post-estimation commands that will decompose the effect of the
explanatory variables on the highest outcome into a effects on passing
transitions and weights assigned to transitions. For instance think of
education: explanatory variables can have an effect on passing the
transitions between levels of education and explanatory variables can
have an effect on the highest achieved level of education. -seqlogit-
has post-estimation tools to link those two types of effects. This only
makes sense if we can meaninfully think of a scale for the highest
achieved level, which is not always the case. If that is not the case
you can still use -seqlogit- but not all postestimation commands will
make sense.
Other differences are:
o -ocratio- only models a series of "stay or leave" decisions,
-seqlogit- alows for more general decision trees, e.g. branching
points (a tracked educational system), choices between more than 2
o -ocratio- alows you to model the decisions as a logit, probit or
cloglog, while -seqlogit- only allows the logit.
I have just added the presentation on -seqlgit- at the Nordic and
Baltic Stata Users Group meeting on Friday September 7th to my website

We can't keep blowing Leads............... When your ahead there is a reason !
See previous response. At no point have I ever excused the offense or Eli for their play.
I haver enough blame in my heart for all three units. The defense played well enough for us to win today unfortunately the offense did not. But the idea that the defense played well or deserves more than simple kudos for a decent game is a joke. The offense has carried the defense plenty...I rarely see mouthbreathers on these boards claiming the defense should be splitting their checks with the offense.
Some perspective in analysis wouldn't hurt. That's all I'm saying.
I'm a Steelers fan; here's my perspective: I came into this game thinking that you guys have a fine squad, and nothing I saw yesterday has fundamentally changed that assessment. On offense, you have a terrific quarterback, a number of dangerous receivers, and an admirably courageous HB in Bradshaw. Your defense -- true to the Parcells legacy --- is built around an excellent front four. Your secondary, I think you'll agree, is less talented than your D-line, that's just football in the salary cap era: you have to prioritize certain positions over others, and I most teams would choose a great pass rush over a great secondary.
I think that the Steelers offensive play calling effectively exploited the relative weakness of the secondary while neutralizing your advantage on the offensive line. Todd Haley's new offense -- in contrast to the sandlot-style, deep pass-heavy offense we'd used for the last few years -- emphasizes short passing and pass protection. Your DLs weren't afforded much time to get to the qb, and your DBs didn't play terrifically well. You're linebackers were similarly unimpressive in defending the run, which forced the safeties to chip in, which opened up the passing game...
Look, the Steelers didn't "solve" the Giants. They outplayed you on this particular day, but if Eli had been a bit sharper, and if your LBs had eaten their wheaties before yesterday's game (I'm confident that Michael Boley, at least, is capable of playing better than that), the result might have been different. Nor was this a devastating loss. You still have a three-game lead over your nearest divisional rivals, and I don;t see overhyped, gimmicky teams like Dallas and Philly making a serious runs at you in the coming weeks. You have a good coach, and you generally play a fundamentally sound game. You'll be alright.
Anyway, here's hoping that you're all high, dry, and warm.
The officiating evened it self out honestly. Can't believe some people would use that excuse. The only call I didn't like was the hit on Cruz. Thought is was tacky. And maybe a block in the back on the fumble TD return.
I love the Steelers and their fanbase, but It would have been nice if you had maybe showed up here before the game as well.

Telltale Games has recently been hinting that "Around Every Corner", the fourth episode in the developer's critically beloved adaptation of Robert Kirkman's Walking Dead comic series, would be dropping "soon." Now we know when "soon" is, and yeah, it's real soon.
Like, tomorrow soon. PlayStation Network players will be able to download the latest episode--penned by Giant Bomb pal and confidant Gary Whitta--following tomorrow's PSN update. Xbox Live and PC players will get their hands on the episode Wednesday.
The only caveat to those dates involves European PlayStation 3 owners, who will not be getting the episode with tomorrow's update. According to Telltale, the episode is in submission with SCEE, and just awaiting a final go-ahead for release.
I realize there are several other key contenders I still need to play, but as of right now, the first season of The Walking Dead has been jockeying for position toward the top of my Game of the Year list. I'll have more to write on the season once it wraps up with episode five, but for those looking for more immediate dissection, be sure to check out Patrick's "Faces of Death" series with the minds behind the game, where they discuss the various choices the players find themselves wrestling with throughout the season. They're linked below for maximum convenience.

The Ink Out Loud commentary of March 3, having to do with the idea of putting a microchip in a child to make the child easier to find in case it is kidnapped, is super interesting.
I decided at once that, if my daughter were a little girl like she was 63 or 64 years ago, I would have her microchipped if I could. She was the light of my life. If someone had stolen her from me, I would so have killed that (expletive) if possible. Only a jury of psychopaths would have convicted me.
I thought and thought about how to believe anyone could have disapproved of putting a microchip in every child; and finally, somewhat to my surprise, I came up with a thought or two that cooled me on the idea a bit. Here are three of them.
There are a lot of crazies out there who are very intelligent; remember the chap in some insane asylum who made himself famous with his creation of the immortal axiom "I may be crazy, but I ain't dumb." Such an evil-minded but intelligent malfeasant might extract the microchip and throw it into some wooded area in passing, leading to a futile searching of the woods.
Also, learning a child was microchipped, leading to his certain capture; the kidnapper would doubtless kill the child and throw it into some roadside ravine.
Again, confidence in the microchip might cause the parental vigilance to lag.
No. I think the constant watchful care of a loving parent is the best protection of a child.

I though that Rachael and also Christina Gao put on an exhibition of straight backward landing edges. Skaters that get a lot of underrotatons called on them tend to land all their jumps a few degrees short.
In Mirai;s case, I could see the underroations myself, but she does tempt fate (and an unsympathetic tech specialist) on most of her jumps. If she could take advantage of the spring and height that she gets on her jumps to get those extra few degrees of rotation, then she wouldn't put her scores in the hands of the skater gods (and we wouldn't have anything to argue about )
Internationally, Rachael does not get much of a GOE boost on her non-jump elements, but she has the levels. As for PCSs, it is amazing how a strong seven-triple performance with a triple-triple boosts the choreography and interpretation scores.
Both of our ladies have a good shot at top six in Vancouver.
A Lutz off the wrong edge is not a Lutz. Why should it get any points at all?
If you fall on a jump, that jump was not successfully completed. It should get 0 points (and -1 for the fall).
But the CoP does not do that. Instead, it gives out graded penalties for the severity of the error. "e" or "!" or anywhere from -3 to -1 GOE on a flutz, for instance.
So I think the "degree to which it disrupts the program" is quite a valid way of going aboput determining which errors are worse than others.
Did she think it deserved extra points because it looked good, or did she think it deserved extra points because it was a difficult variation?I was watching Caroline skate once with a friend and my friend asked if her difficult variation (read mule kick) gained more points. Because she thought the mule kick looked good, should it not be granted - GOE??
The CoP is full of opportunities to get extra points with difficult but ugly variations.
Earlier, it was mentioned that Mirai is pretty, etc........
I want to say that I think Miki is one of the prettiest skaters I have ever seen.
I prefer Akiko's skating over Miki this season and think Akiko beat Miki at the GPF just like she beat her at Japanese Natls.
I am not favoring Mirai because I think she is pretty but because I think her skating is beautiful and superior to Flatt.
I also can't help but love the great spirit and joy Mirai brings to the ice. It is natural as opposed to so many others showing us choreographed smiles and fake dramtic expressions.
I'm just happy that Mirai goes to the Olympics!!! I don't care she got first or second. She'd been there before, so what's the big deal. It's nice to have both girls go into the olympics as US champion, which would boost their confidence.
I watched the vedios. Apparently Rachael had a slower tentiative skate and looked laboured, while Mirai had speed, joy and attack all the way. I do prefer Mirai's performance. Hopefully both girls pay more attention to their weaknesses in the following three weeks and have their skate of life in the olympics!
Akiko and Mirai are for some reason given no slack by the judges. At SC, Akiko's SP layout was:
3lz-2t --> "e" call and -2 GOE
3f --> -2 GOE again (wasn't that bad)
2a -->
in the LP:
3lz-2t-2lo --> "e" and -1.80 GOE
2a-3t< --> popped the axel into a single, -.06 GOE
3lo --> popped
3lz --> "e" and -3.0 GOE
3lo-2a seq
So in the GPF Akiko changed her jump layout.
3f-2t --> no edge call, 0.40 GOE
3lo --> UR but not a jump you can get an edge call on
3f-2t-2lo --> no edge call, no negative GOE
3t-2a seq --> no downgrade
3lz --> "!" call, -1.80 GOE
3lo-2a seq
Akiko won bronze at the GPF, so I believe what she did was smart. What Mirai should do if she wants to stop letting the judges screw her over.
current layout:
3lz-2t-2t --> "!" call, would be "e" internationally, but smart move changing the 2lo to a 2t after getting the 2lo UR at SC
2a-3t --> UR on the 3t, also got a UR call on the 3t at CoC
3lz --> no edge call at nats but UR
3lo-2a seq --> smart move after her 3lo-2t was UR at SC (the 2t)
3t --> UR here, not usually a problem
new layout she should use so the judges won't bring her down:
3f-2t-2t --> no "e" call
3t-2a seq --> no UR on 3t, can get good GOEs
3lz --> if it's not in combination she has a better shot of not getting an "e" call
3lo-2a seq --> like she's already changed it, good move
If she does this, she will just eliminate many ways the judges can dock her. Ashley, Akiko, and that little girl Kanako all do sequences and I think it's a good idea now that 3-3s are being downgraded left and right. Also, why do two lutzes if after the edge call it will be worth less than a 3loop? She should do two flips and only one lutz. If she finds a way to get around what the judges are sometimes brutally calling her out on, they won't be able to do it and she should do better.
Look at the protocols and you can see where Mirai lost points by URing.
But Mirai did not rotate all her jumps, and she lost about 15 points in the process, so she did not win.
Get over it.
Gotta say. I don't really like rachels skating. She is so unrefined... Body lines and positions are a mess. I loved mirai out there, still has jump issues but body lines and positions are much nicer.
I do not feel Rachel should get the high pcs she does. Just my opinion
AND YOU CAN SHOUT AT ME IN ALL CAPS ALL YOU WANT but I think this discussion is interesting and I'll continue to have it no matter how many times you tell me to "get over it."
One thing that hurt Ashley alots was, her habit of 2 footings the jumps. She had great speed, high and rotation, but somehow she always seem to have the "lazy" free leg that always slightly touch down or brush the ice. These -GOE cost her the second Olympics spot, as well as the fall on the 3Lz. She should have done the 3lo and avoid the edge call.
Marai, she sould have score higher. Her PCS mark should be at least 2-3 points, higher than Flatt. The order of PCS mark should have been 1) Nagasu 63-64 range 2) Wagner 62+ and 3) Flatt 59-60. Her 2A+3T, second jump was underroated, but her 3Lz looks clean.
As for Flatt, she won it fair and square, and deserve her high TES score, but highest PCS mark on both short and long. come on!!
Racheal's spins are rather slow and some of her positions are not very pretty. This is addressed in the GOE or grade of execution. But in Racheal's (and most skaters cases) as long as the skater is not visibly struggling with the spin and they make it look reasonably easy, they will get a positve GOE. Plushenko has the same issues, but manages to get the levels and positive GOEs in many cases.
A skater like Mirai or Alissa gets the high levels and very good GOE's, but honestly the difference is not enough.

New skins for maxed equipment
It would be nice if we had new custom options or skins for lv3 equipment. It would also help fixing some helmets designs that look bad, like war helms and manticores. I'm really enjoying using manticores armor, it looks very cool but the helmet... If it was like a purple version of artemis helm, with many manticores spikes instead of horns it would be very sick

Yeah, but keeping their maxed level, not creating a "different" equipment.
Re: New skins for maxed equipment
Then people that are already maxed out could have a reason for to play the game: increase the coolness of their champions

Re: New skins for maxed equipment
Please, no prestige.
The last thing we need is SSM jumping on the CoD bandwagon.
On topic cool idea, maxed out gear should accumulate XP to reskin and could cost like 20k or so and only be available to lv40 champions.
This would (as czeuch said), give a reason for vets to keep playing.

I like Troy and Buck. Entertaining to me at least. I can't stand Tirico, Collinsworth, Dierdorf and a couple of others. Maybe it's a regional thing or something.
Kind of on topic I remember one year the announcers talking about how the Boston Red Sox fans didn't really like Grady Little because of his southern drawl even though he was a contender, they felt he was kind of 'slow'. I guess it's the same as we southerners finding northerners pushy and aggressive.

92001 Memory Lane, Henrico VA
(To read some of these and other articles selected as some of the most memorable by Citizen staff members, click here: http://www.henricocitizen.com/index.php/news/article/henrico_citizen_10th_anniversary)
As the Henrico Citizen enters its second decade, I can't help but spend time looking backward and reminiscing about the first.
Not only is it fun to recall our early days from a "look how far we've come" perspective – remembering, for instance, how I played "papergirl" and rode my bike around Lakeside tossing copies of the Citizen's first issue (Sept. 20, 2001) into driveways; it's also satisfying to think back to the memorable stories I have covered – stories that have moved me, changed me, and introduced me to unforgettable people.
It's people, after all, who make the Citizen a paper that people want to read.
I will always be grateful to Laurie Weinberg, for instance, for sharing her English as a Second Language (ESL) class with me in 2002. A fellow basketball mom at Maggie Walker Governor's School, Laurie told me one night as we watched a game that her current ESL class stood out from others she had taught at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College.
"My classes are always diverse and interesting," she said. "But this one is special."
The hour I spent with Laurie's nine students – representing eight different countries from Sierra Leone and Iran to Jordan, South Korea, and Venezuela – was one of the most enlightening, inspiring, and humbling hours I have ever spent. Laurie turned the visit into an assignment for her students, and had each of them stand and tell me about their native countries with whatever English they could muster.
The hour was enlightening because I was able to enjoy an intensive world tour of geography, history and other cultures; hearing the stories from the lips of those students brought the depth and breadth home to me better than any college class ever had.
The hour was inspiring because so many of the students had overcome tremendous obstacles just to get to this country, only to face a daily gauntlet of obstacles as they learned to navigate their new land and language.
Many had left professional positions as dentists, programmers, journalists, and therapists to take hourly-wage jobs in retail and restaurants here. Almost all had met with prejudice, ignorance, and even open hostility from locals when they arrived here. I can still feel my embarrassment as an Iranian student, wearing an expression of mingled pain and puzzlement, described his encounter with an American who learned of his background and responded, "So you're a terrorist!"
Yet the students were united in their dignity and in their determination to master English and achieve their varied dreams: of furthering education, pursuing careers and building new lives. I came away deeply humbled and newly appreciative of the privilege I enjoy – through no effort of my own – of being born a U.S. citizen and a native English speaker. I think of these students often, and wonder how they are faring in this era of immigrant intolerance.
When it comes to inspiring stories, few can compare to that of A.C. Roane (2004), a remarkable cyclist who enjoyed going on charity bike rides to raise funds for people less fortunate than himself. Maybe not such a remarkable feat, you say, until you learn that A.C. had lost almost all his sight due to retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and could see only fuzzy swatches of color on the jerseys of the riders in front of him. What's more – despite his active regimen – A.C. had suffered a stroke at the age of 43.
During my interview with A.C., however, I never felt as if I were talking to someone with serious disabilities. He spoke of 75-mile bike rides, ski trips, and cooking favorite dishes for his family. Even when telling stories of his not-so-successful efforts – such as a bone-breaking bike spill and recently-abandoned attempts to mow the lawn – he clearly relished the memory, and laughed heartily at what others might consider spectacular failures.
No one who has met A.C., though, would ever think of uttering his name and "failure" in the same breath.
Like A.C., two young mothers I met in 2009 were coping with deteriorating vision and the knowledge that one day they would likely lose their sight for good. Both Megan Mudd and Kisa Miller had already lost their ability to drive and were raising their children "on foot," relying on spouses and a network of friends for transportation to school and sports.
I met with Megan and Kisa to help promote their efforts on behalf of the VisionWalk, a fundraiser for the Foundation for Fighting Blindness (FFB) and its work to cure and prevent vision loss.
Like A.C. Roane, Kisa and Megan struggled through numerous challenges, but instead of going the "woe-is-me" route, they chose to focus on the bright side. Both were grateful that they had a chance to lead relatively normal lives into their teens, before their vision began to fade. Both were optimistic about the work of the FFB, and positively glowed about breakthroughs in research that were probably too late to help them, but sure to help others.
And both thought their children benefited from having mothers with vision loss; not only did they enjoy a "1950s upbringing" that entailed lots of walking, but they were also learning sensitivity to those who did not have their advantages.
Kisa, in fact, even said that she felt "fortunate" to have the disease of RP. "Everyone has a cross to bear in life," she said. "It could be worse."
Megan agreed, pointing out with a laugh that the real handicap was living in the suburbs.
"If we lived in New York City, no one would even know (that we can't see)!"
National figure, local gentleman
While Megan, Kisa, A.C. and the ESL students were fighting their battles behind the scenes, Paul Galanti's trials once made national news.
A former Navy pilot and a prisoner of war in Vietnam for seven years, Paul (accompanied by his wife, Phyllis) made the cover of Newsweek when he was released from prison in 1973. Since then he has been portrayed in Life and Time magazines as well as Discovery Channel documentaries. As a nationally recognized inspirational speaker, he has criss-crossed the country many times over telling his stories to schoolchildren, civic groups and professional organizations.
I met Paul years before he became the subject of a Citizen story, at an alumni event for my late father's alma mater, the U.S. Naval Academy. Paul was amused to learn that in high school in the late 1960s, I chose to purchase and wear his POW bracelet over others because he was shot down on my 12th birthday.
At that first encounter, I was simply in awe of meeting the war hero whose name I had worn on my bracelet more than three decades earlier. But over the years since, my admiration has only grown, and I have come to appreciate Paul for much more than his military role. He is, pure and simple, a class act and a gentleman.
For years I teased him that he needed to move from his city residence to Henrico County so that I could write about him. In 2006, when the Virginia Aviation Museum held a gala to unveil a replica of the A-4 Skyhawk Paul was flying when he was shot down, I got my wish. I had to miss the gala due to an out-of-town conflict, but Paul graciously took time out during a Washington, D.C. trip to provide me with a phone interview.
Since then, I have been fortunate enough to celebrate with Paul at both the groundbreaking and the opening gala of the new Paul and Phyllis Galanti Education Center at the Virginia War Memorial, and at the dedication of the USO center at Richmond International Airport. At the USO dedication, Paul left me smiling as always: introducing me to his Navy friends not as a member of the media (which tends to put a damper on conversation), but with an endorsement he knew they would quickly approve: "Patty's dad went to boat school (USNA)."
International, local connections
I covered another story that involved a famous pilot when Francis Gary Powers, Jr., came to the Virginia Aviation Museum to talk about his father in 2002.
When I met Gary that night, I never dreamed that he would one day become a subject of multiple stories in the Citizen -- or a Richmond neighbor. At the time, he was a resident of Northern Virginia, and was traveling the country to promote the Cold War Museum he had founded in his father's memory.
I was spellbound as Gary recounted the story of the 1960 U-2 incident from his father's perspective, starting with the heart-stopping account of the pilot's collision with a missile and his rapid descent and ejection and continuing with his capture, trial, imprisonment and eventual release in a trade for a Russian spy.
I found Gary's story engaging on so many levels: from the excitement and intrigue of his father's adventures; to the tragic irony of his father's death in a helicopter that ran out of gas; to the fatherless son deciding as an adult to follow in his dad's footsteps and, eventually, pay tribute by establishing the Cold War Museum.
But Gary kept me engaged long after that first visit to Henrico -- inviting me to join a busload of Henricoans taking the Spy Tour of Washington, D.C. in 2002, a fundraiser for the Cold War Museum -- and then contacting me when he moved to the Richmond area a year later.
Last year, when I went to see Gary lead a Virginia Historical Society gallery walk through an exhibit of his father's memorabilia, I met Rosaanne Speranza and learned of previously unknown Henrico ties to the U-2 incident. After spending a delightful lunch at the Westwood Club with Gary and Rosaanne, I had the pleasure of writing about the friendship that formed after Rosaanne's father – then owner of the Westwood Club – wrote to support Gary's grandparents following the U-2 incident (2010).
Mixed-use masterpiece
I had the good fortune of meeting the late Bill Abeloff in 2002, when I attended a presentation he gave at the Eyes on Richmond forum at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond. As Abeloff – then best known as the developer of Tobacco Row – described the plans for his next development, I was intrigued.
Quoting liberally from 17th-century documents and sprinkling his narration with frequent historical detail, Abeloff said he proposed to turn a seedy, run-down industrial district on the Henrico line into a riverfront village where locals would "live, work, shop and play."
I have covered many stories at Rocketts Landing since then – from the moment when the first condominium residents moved in to the grand 400th anniversary celebration of Christopher Newport's 1607 visit to the area and the regattas, races and Parade of Lights parties that highlight Rocketts' annual festivities. Today the home of a marina, residential community, and three thriving restaurants, Rocketts Landing is still growing, but it's taken giant steps toward becoming the village that Abeloff envisioned.
I love nothing better than providing visitors – whether from out of town or from just across the river in Chesterfield – with their first view of the downtown skyline from Rocketts, and then regaling them with the history of the place.
"Rocketts is even more amazing when you consider the brownfield and industrial wasteland that it replaced," I like to brag. "And I knew it when it was only a gleam in the eye of Bill Abeloff."
Well-connected volunteer
Finally, no list of favorite stories and memorable characters would be complete without mention of Frank Daylor.
I met Frank in December 2003 as we volunteered at Short Pump Town Center with other Citizens Police Academy alumni for ACT NOW, a citizens' patrol. As we chatted on our rounds I was struck by the fact that even though Frank was pushing 70 at the time, he not only kept up the pace with his younger companions, but also kept us entertained with stories of his varied volunteer and social activities.
At the time the Citizen was running an occasional feature called "Citizen of the Issue," and I thought Frank would make a great subject. We sat down over sodas at Ukrop's for what I thought would be the usual half hour interview, and two hours flew by in a heartbeat.
Frank and I started meeting for weekly lunches, at which we never failed to run into someone from Frank's wide circle of friends, family and acquaintances – and in no time, through him, I felt as if I knew half of Richmond. During the next several years, Frank volunteered as a Citizen delivery driver, and he and his friends – including A.C. Roane; renowned chef and decorated veteran of the French Algerian War Paul Elbling (2005); long-time Highland Springs H.S. supporter Stoney Jones (2006); and Iwo Jima veterans Cotton Billingsley and Charlie Cooper (2007), to name a few – became a regular source of stories in the Citizen.
Although our lunch get-togethers are less regular now, I can still count on occasional cheery calls from Frank, filling me in on his latest list of activities; he still puts me to shame with his energy.
Reader inspiration
I could go on about other favorite subjects, such as 82-year-old half-marathoner Lois Creamer in 2008; bluegrass gospel group Churchyard Grass (2003); Spec Campen, who at 91 has appeared in almost 80 films (2007); and Rev. Robert Bluford, founder of the Historic Polegreen Church Foundation, who recently flew the same model of a plane he piloted in World War II (2010).
But I will conclude with the story that changed the way I celebrate my birthdays.
As a journalist, there is nothing more satisfying about my job than hearing from a reader, "I was intrigued by your story, so I read up on the subject and learned more about it" – unless it's to hear that the reader attended an event, took up a new hobby, got involved with a cause or otherwise took action as a result of a story.
In 2005 I attended an engagement party for two strangers that turned the tables and inspired me to take action -- an action that I plan to make a lifelong habit.
The couple celebrating their engagement at Virginia Blood Services, Montie Harper and Lynn Miller, had met as a result of their work on blood drives. Since they were older and had little need for the typical wedding or engagement gifts, they decided to share their happiness by holding a party at VBS and asking each friend who attended to donate a pint of blood in their honor.
That got me thinking about other celebrations that might garner blood for VBS, and the following June, I began holding an annual "bloodthirsty birthday party."
Since then, my friends have become so accustomed to giving blood at this event that they start asking about it months in advance. And while I can't say that VBS has collected more than a few dozen pints at the parties, they've gained a lot of attention and raised a lot of awareness. Every year, as people hear about the party for the first time, they are – at the very least – reminded of the need for blood donations, even if they are not regular donors. I am proud to say that at least two people have donated blood for the first time at my party.
And at least once a year I hear the comment, "What a cool idea; I think I'll throw a birthday bloodbath myself!"
Yes, it is a cool idea, and I can't take credit for it; that goes to the clever couple I met in 2005. So to Montie and Lynn, and to Citizen readers and story subjects everywhere, I say, thanks for the inspiration.
And while I'm at it, thanks for the memories.

Az ingatlan értékelései
Vom Appartement hat man einen tollen Blick über die Stadt und es liegt sehr zentral, direkt am Hauptbahnhof und an einer großen Einkaufsstraße. Die Schlüsselübergabe verlief einwandfrei und ohne Probleme. Sehr nette Mitarbeiter, die sehr gut englisch sprachen. Das Appartement war sauber und gut ausgestattet. Etwas mehr Gläser und Töpfe wären gut, die Couch sollte erneuert werden und bei Minusgraden kann es schon etwas kälter werden in der Wohnung. Ansonsten hat es uns sehr gefallen und können die Wohnung empfehlen.

great apartment lived up to expectations. The area is nice although a bit far from the center, but public transport makes it easy.
I recommend!
Lovely apartment and great location!
7 ladies, 60 yrs +, lived in the apartment for one week. We are very satisfied with its location and the nearness to the bakery shop and the butcher close to our entrance.They supplied us with good products for our breakfast.
It was a little more than 10 minutes walk to the Old Town.
The apartment is well equipped, but we missed an extra towel per person when we stayed as long as one week. The service of your office in Miodowa street was very good with helpful personell assisting us.
Very good apartment in secured building. Next to sluzew metro station. you don't need to rent a car. You can buy almost everything in small markets around. we enjoyed very much our vacation in warsaw. But you have to check the arrival time. The company is placed near the old town, far from the apartment and they will give you the key there as written (1600). Also, you have to bring everything needed to operate the washing machine and dishwasher. The dishwasher is leaking. The temperature is warm in september. I guess its hot there during summer. The kitchen is almost empty, you have to bring everything.
Everything was perfect! The appartment is comfortable and clean and it has a great view. The owners are really kind. I recommend it for your stay in Warsaw

The location of the apartment is ok, it is within 30 min walks to the important places and it feels safe. Supermarket is close by. In the evening it is a bit noisy. The kitchen has no ventilation and very hot in the Summer.
The apartment has no ac and in the Summer ac is a must for this apartment.
What we missed beside the ac was a place to put the kitchen towel in the kitchen and a holder for the toiletpaper

Is this a good idea?
I just moved over from avlinux and I am relatively new to ubuntu. I tried the full-on kxstudios as well as dream studio but have settled on ubuntu studio.
Is it currently possible to install the kxstudios repos over ubuntu studio 12.10?
I noticed that they have a quantal section with newer packages for things like guitarix (but also some crucial ones such as jack jackd etc) but I have found no official word on whether it's compatible or not yet. As such I'm not sure if it's wise to mess with this seeing that ubuntu studio is currently working ok for me. I did read a previous forum post with the same question for a much older release but I haven't been able to find any up-to-date information and the answer to the post was ambiguous.
What are the benefits?
How does sharing packages work with with regard to the ubuntu studio release cycle vs. kx studio's?
Are their any disadvantages?
Also, if anyone is rocking an up to date ubuntu studio + kxstudio repos hybrid I would be glad for any experiences.

I'm a new beek with two hives. They've been doing well, and have been installed for only 4 weeks in a 10-frame deep. The first hive had completely drawn 9 frames of a deep within 2-3 weeks and the second seems to be "stuck' after filling out 7 frames; they hit the third frame from the end, then stopped. I noticed this during an inspection last week, but did not note anything unusual about the frames themselves. Instead, the rate at which they were building out led me to add a second deep to prevent crowding in both hives.
I use SBB's and slide out the boards every couple of days to do an indirect inspection, and yesterday noticed some black/grey material (not pollen or wax) and a small larva on the board of the "stuck" hive. Just one, but where there is one there are more. I was not able to closely inspect the larva. I also noticed a sour odor when replacing the feeder (jar surrounded by an empty super on top of the hive), so I suspect SHB and will confirm or reject this hypothesis later today when I undertake a thorough inspection. I could be dealing with wax moth and a fermented feeder. Meanwhile, I have placed a couple of CD jewel case traps in each hive to sample.
Now that I have a specific objective and possible issue in mind, I need to develop a plan for my inspection. Here is what I have in mind, and would appreciate any commentary/critique.
1) Carefully inspect each frame for damage/larvae/odor/sliming. Sliming and odor would confirm SHB (so would the presence of beetles).
2) If slimed frames with larvae are found, and the sliming is significant, they will be removed from the hive and replaced with new foundation. If larvae but no sliming is found, the problem may be wax moths.
3) If the beginnings of infestation are found on a frame, but the areas are small, those portions will be cut out and removed.
4) IPM: Continue with the CD traps, obtain beetle jail or other and order a SBB with an oil tray. Monitor the situation.
5) Determine if I will need to treat. I am not opposed to treatment, but would like to hold off on this as an option to be used if other approaches do not keep things in check.
I'll also welcome opinions, but would be most appreciative of constructive commentary based on experience. If I have things wrong or have not thought of something important, let me know. Debate on the merits of one philosophy over another is not going to be helpful to me or others who may read this thread, but I am willing to consider actions and approaches that have been demonstrated to be practical and successful. Many thanks in advance.


text: I have had a lot of conversations and arguments about synthetics being the right product for our engines. I want to answer any questions you may have. We all buy or think of buying expensive parts to soup our trucks up for performance, why not buy the best oil to protect those expensive parts? Why on earth would we cut corners (costs) where it matters most, the oil is the life blood of our engines. I hear a lot of well wally world has oil and a filter for 16 bucks. All this tells me is it does not matter what protection it has it's being bought on cost alone. Next would be filtration.Why not put the best filtration on an engine think of it as an insurance policy. The better you filter the oil, the longer the life of that oil is and the less wear the engine will have. We can filter down to 2 microns absolute. Our OEM replacement filters are down to 15 microns absolute with no by-pass filter. Scott

"Thank You" to Our Resident Retired Reverends!
While Lynn and I are taking a break away this weekend, I want to thank our two retired United Methodist clergy for stepping in for me and leading our worship this morning. One thing about Nancy Morgan and Gladys Williford is that though they may be retired from episcopal appointments, they surely have not retired from serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in His Church! Gladys and Nancy, we all thank you for your tireless service, your leadership, and your shining Christian example among us. Thank you and God bless you for sharing your gifts with us!

"They do the Job"

We purchased these shades to keep our living room cool while preserving the view. It has a southwestern exposure and really got hot. These shades keep the room cool and we can still see our view. It's great! I thought I would have to use a valance to cover the roller because I thought it would be unattractive. I was wrong. I am not going to cover them after all.

I doubt they'll have specialized equipment like that. Last year they had Ultra Breeze jackets, hive tools, a few hives, feeders, beetle traps, frames, boxes, things like that.
I doubt they'll have specialized equipment like that. Last year they had Ultra Breeze jackets, hive tools, a few hives, feeders, beetle traps, frames, boxes, things like that.
okie dokie. ill go on ozark's website and see if they can bring a couple things with them for me.
They brought honey gates!
About to get going.
The evening has started and I've started blogging if you'd like to follow along.
The Big Bee Buzz put put on by NEOBA was again a fantastic event. This year's festivities were a substantially treatment-free themed affair. It was so much fun, I got to meet and hang out with Sam Comfort, got to hang out with Michael Bush, and got to know Ed Levi (former Arkansas State Bee Inspector) better. So what did I take away?
Some context. Everything I say is from the perspective of someone who is a Bond method beekeeper, and quite evangelical about it. I believe people should raise their own bees. I firmly dislike monoculture and the migratory beekeeping that enables it. My focus is pretty strictly on small beekeepers, backyard beekeepers, hobbyists, avid hobbyists, and sideliners.
The new name I am using for my philosophy which I got with permission from Sam Comfort is Expansion Model Beekeeping. My twist is this: As a beekeeper, rather than spending a load of time learning about all the treatments, what they do, how to use them, all the mechanical and cultural methods of controlling mites, brood breaks, screened bottom boards etc., rather than putting energy into learning and internalizing all that stuff, learn how to breed and expand and to outrun the mites. And the thing is, outrunning them is only necessary for a relatively brief period of time. Once your local and localized population becomes sustainable, the mites are not a problem at all. Focus on creating and maintaining a population from which you can lose a few and not have coronaries about it. It's no big deal because you'll just raise some more in the spring. The last two years, I've only lost a single hive. That's after three years in this location with some higher losses, but a no point was it unsustainable. And with the methods that I have discovered and implemented now, I could have done it without buying new bees or queens. Run your operation, whatever size, on an expansion model rather than trying to maintain some certain benchmark. Hives are much easier to reduce in number than increase.
A handy trick I learned from Mike Bush was when a queen flies off, to dump some bees on the topbars of the hives. They will begin scent fanning and she'll have a better chance of making it back to the right hive.
Something I have been convinced to do is register my bees. I had been concerned that some inspector was going to tell me that I had to treat them. Ed Levi calmed my fears and said that they can't do that. The only thing they can do in Arkansas is burn them if they have American Foul Brood. I'm not so concerned about that. I've never had foulbrood and if I did, burning them is probably a good idea even though every deep box costs about $30 and every medium box costs about $25. It could get not cheap but it would be even more not cheap if it were allowed to spread. Anyway, the biggest benefit of registering and getting inspected is that I can ship queens and bees around.
I'm also going to start going to the Northwest Arkansas Beekeepers meetings. I need to learn more about my area and get to know the local beekeepers.
Sam thinks I should move up to 100 hives, but I doubt that's going to be happening any time soon. There's other things I like to do too you know. From talking to him I will also try putting my entrances somewhere in the middle of the hives to hopefully keep the brood and pollen separated a bit better from the honey.
nice synopsis sol.
go into more detail about the expansion model when you have time, maybe start a thread about it.
many thanks.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
I plan on it. It's going to be a major thrust of my philosophy and I've been invited to go back to Tulsa later this year and talk about it.
Expansion Model sounds interesting; my concern is that some beekeepers, new ones in particular, will adopt the name of the philosophy but not the work that goes along with it. My take is that it requires observing what is going on in your hives and responding to those observations in keeping with the philosophy. It is most certainly not dumping a commercially produced package on new foundation in the spring, ignore them all summer, and b*tching about their either dieing or not producing a honey crop.
Learning to see what you are observing is key. Beginning this year I will be making the effort to keep my TF bees going rather than experimenting if TF bees will survive and thrive in my area. I can't afford to bring in new bees every year only to have them die. So I will be looking into the whys deeper - why has this over wintered colony not taken off? Stuff like that.
it will be interesting to see how this differs from the approaches of mike palmer (creating and over wintering nucs), and mel disselkoen (out breeding mites).
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Nice report Solomon. I'm surprised, after all the discussions there have been on beesource about Apiary Inspectors and Apiary Inspection, that you didn't already know that AFB is the only thing States really regulate and try to control. Only APHIS has ever made anyone kill hives for having mites. And that was in the mid 1980s. And no one regulates viruses.
Mark Berninghausen
Don, that should read "hive" not "hives". You dump bees on the home hive, they will scent fan so the queen may find her way back better. As we beekeepers tend to move things around, often the hive where she returned on her mating flight is not in the same location as she is now. I don't even know if she would be able to remember that.
Mark, I have heard some horror stories about inspectors overstepping their bounds, whether they were performing their jobs according to the law or not. So it was not just what was legal that I was concerned about. I've always been the sort that likes to stay out of the spotlight, preferring to do my own thing on the sidelines. It's fine if one of y'all gets vendetta on the mind here on Beesource. It's a bit different when I get somebody who thinks treating is the law of the land and wants to make my life miserable and has the power to do so, legally or not. My bees and their genetics are precious to me and I'm not one who thinks all bees are the same. I'd prefer if registration were optional here like several of the amendments have proposed and I could just stay out of it until I wanted my little "Inspected" piece of paper. But that's not the way it is.
Thanks for the report - it gave Mark and I something to discuss as we wandered through the blueberry fields feeding some hungry bees. I particularly appreciate the M.B. - Sam Comfort pics.... Barry B. sent me a separate pic of Niel... so now I am set. I suspect Sam C. may be correct about the 100 hives.... you might be pleasantly surprised at how little difference there is in keeping 20 hives and keeping 100.
"If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."
Herb, I sent you a picture of him on Facebook, did you not get it? He does exist. He's a really nice guy, and he seems to be coming over to the treatment-free way of seeing things. He is the one who booked the speakers after all.
I suspect Sam may be correct management wise, but I cannot keep more than ten hives in any location due to mass robbing issues. That's a lot of travel time on my precious spring Saturdays. Any expansion will have to be mostly on funding provided by continued beekeeping profits, which I also want to spend on solar panels. We'll see. I'm already deciding I can make an expansion from 20 to 25. Must build a bunch more boxes. I'm running out. I think I now have less than ten available deeps on hand.
So- if a colony can't fend off some robbing, then what?
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
If they survive, then I pick up the pieces and move on. If they don't, then I do the same thing.
If I'm putting too many hives together and it's causing robbing, then it's obviously my fault and I need to not do that. It's the same sort of situation if I take too much honey and they starve to death over winter. I need to manage in a way that doesn't apply too much undue stress.
Do the hives tend to get a bit unbalanced? Several strong ones and a few weak ones? Then the weak ones get robbed out.
If this is the case, have your tried banlancing the hives, ie... moving a few frames of brood and bees into the weak ones... from the strong?
BTW.. the utube video says "Private".
"If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."
I've been having robbing problems with nucs and particularly when moving nucs into 10 frame equipment. Robbing screens seem to have solved it.
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson

Reviews of this property
Had an amazing stay in Amsterdam on board the houseboat,firstly Fulco the owner replied immediately to any questions we asked. The location is stunning and so easy for getting into the city a 10 minute walk,but many shops bars cafes just around the corner. The boat was clean and very comfortable with everything you need. Comfortable seating area with tv (with English channels),comfortable double bed,and a small kitchen and a small shower/bathroom with under floor heating. Would definitely stay again.
Well located boat, down town.
Kitchen not full equiped: it'll be better to get a grill toaster for breakfast. Dishes have to be clean, before renting the place. Glasses, plates, and spoons were not clean.
No bathroom; it was a "camping" experience. Quite expensive for the furnished boat !!! Once, is OK, but not twice at that price! It'll be much easier to go to hotel.
We had a truly great stay on Fulco's house boat on the canal. Located in the Jordaan district, every amenity within a five minute walk, this understated accommodation includes all of the essentials—including a Steinway grand. Super cool.
Jordaan is a twenty minute walk from the major tourist attractions in Central, meaning that while you can jump into the hubub at will, you can also keep it at bay while enjoying a local feel in a neighborhood setting.
We'll certainly get in touch with Fulco next time we go to Amsterdam. Our stay over the 2014 holiday season amounted to the best New Years Eve ever! Loved it. Thanks.
Great experience! The houseboat is very well positioned in a super friendly area close to the city center. Fulco host is very welcoming and very attentive, he warmly welcomed us and gave good advice!
Super expérience ! La péniche est très bien placée dans un quartier hyper sympa à deux pas du centre ville. Fulco est hôte très accueillant et très attentionné, il nous a très bien accueilli et donné de bons conseils !
Can't stress enough how much I loved the stay here and Fulco could not have been any nicer or more more helpful.
The boat itself is in a good location (10 minute picturesque walk along the canal from central station), it was really pretty spacious and clean. Has a bed, sofa, piano, functional kitchen, heated floor bathroom, piano and guitar should you be musically inclined.
My girlfriend and I normally stay in hotels but fancied a change and are very glad we did. Would 100% recommend this to others.
Everything perfect étatit
Tout étatit parfait
We were completely satisfied. The boat is centrally located, but quiet. The host is very friendly and helpful with good tips. The facilities are good, even in the winter it is warm.
Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Das Boot liegt zentral, aber ruhig. Der Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit mit guten Tipps. Die Ausstattung ist gut, auch im Winter ist es angenehm warm.
Location perfect, clean and well located. Very welcome to Fulco on our arrival and for departure. Much appreciated that he took the news by mail to know if everything was OK. Thank you again soon!
Lieu parfait, propre et bien situé. Très bon accueil de Fulco lors de notre arrivée et aussi pour le départ. Très apprécié qu'il ait pris des nouvelles par mail pour savoir si tout allait bien. Encore merci à bientôt!
We had a great weekend and come back for sure, more you need not say.
The Hausbboot is centrally located, yet quiet.
The host Fulco has also been very nice and helpful.
Wir hatten ein tolles Wochenende und kommen ganz sicher wieder, mehr brauch man wohl nicht sagen.
Das Hausbboot liegt super zentral und trotzdem ruhig.
Der Gastgeber Fulco ist auch sehr nett und hilfsbereit gewesen.
