text:
I ran into the beekeeper I used to rent bees from to pollinate our water melons and he offered to let my son and myself follow behind while he inspects 500 hives that are going to be shipped to California for almond pollination. During the course of our lengthy chat he was telling me how horrible varroa, SHB, and tracheal mites have been this season and how much he had to spend on treatments for his bees to which I replied I had started out treatment free and planned on staying that way. He told me he would accept no failures when it comes to beekeeping and not treating was unacceptable and I told him I had to expect losses, even a total loss, at the beginning to start out correctly. We argued for a while until I told him I just wanted to see how he inspected and how he was prepping his hives for the trip to California. The biggest thing that bothered me is that his apiary is 3 miles from my apiary so we have at least a 1 mile overlap in our respective apiaries foraging range. Even though this guy is adamantly pro-treatment there is so much I can learn from him, up to and including which treatments are out there, what they are used for, and when and how they are administered. Even though I don't plan on using treatments it surely can't hurt knowing about them not to mention his 35 years of experience vs my 1 year. This fellow did hire me to help load tractor - trailers with hives as his son is ill so during the morning I expect to tag along on 250 inspections before I start loading skids of hives onto trailers.
The guy seems very willing to be my mentor but he is very adamant about me treating my bees. I am equally adamant in the opinion of not treating my bees. There is no doubt this beekeeper has been very successful, he has 1500 hives and doesn't lose much in the winter. I do see friction between he and I on the treatment issue though. We'll see if he is reasonable enough to lay off when he understands Im not going to budge on the treatment issue. Hopefully this point of contention won't interfere with a working relationship because I don't have any issues helping him to administer treatments to HIS bees even though its not how I plan on doing things.

When Social Media Is Used for Bad

The benefits of social media (SM) in connecting users worldwide are well known, and we ourselves have cheered the democratization of knowledge and information sharing. However, the proliferations of SM access to an increasingly younger demographic is most worrisome. Our concern is with young SM users, the estimated 200 million under 17 users of Facebook and similar sites. Amanda Todd's call for help burns our senses and we shout a cry. And a challenge.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment we got was not the one which photo had been on the Wimdo page, and the one on the photo looked nicer and seemed to be in a better condition.
The apartment is big enough for 2 persons and the location in Moscow is good to reach many points of interest by walking.
The apartment would need some repair, some more items in the kitchen (there were e.g. no wine glasses when we arrived, we bought some, so this problem should be solved.) There is no possiblity in the bed room to make it dark in the night (not so comfortable during the "white nights"). As Nowy Arbat is a big road and the windows are not the best, it is very noisy during the whole night.
Although the apartment is not that one in the photo and it's a little bit exaggerated to call it marvellous everything was ok. The location is very good, near the metro station and walking distance to the Red square, Bolshoi, etc.etc. The communication was very goods with the host always fast to replying. The receiving of the key was easy and Egor was always reachable, and was quick to solve a little problem I had with adsl. So in total the stay was goods and I was satisfied and I will apply again to Egor for my next stay.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We stayed as a family in the flat number 8 near to the Старый Арбат for one week in june 2015. For russian standards the flat is great, clean and is in a good house. But, the organisation with the manager could be better. All in one we enjoyed the flat and Moscow!
On the last day we found out that our apartment is occupied by a geschprich with Egor, that's normal, he says, the guests had decided to stay on. Did he genant unz the other address and the wrong.
Am letzten Tag haben wir erfahren das unser Wohnung besetzt ist nach ein geschprich mit Egor, das ist normal sagt er, die Gäste hatten sich entscheiden weiter zu bleiben. Hat er unz die andere Adresse genant und die stimmte nicht.
Nice apartment, great view over Moscow skyline.
Comfy bed, wireless working.
Key exchange uncomplicated via receptionist in the building.
The apartment is about 7 mins walk from the Beloruskaya metro ring station - one star for this. It has been renovated with double-glass windows, laminate floors and light wallpaper. Separate toilet and bathroom, clean and good working order. Another star for this. There is a sofa bed in the living room but no dining table or working desk. If you have to work on your computer you have to sit on a wooden stool in the kitchen. There is a small TV in the living room with local channels. Internet and WiFi working OK. The bed in the bedroom can just about sleep two people, but only just. Washing machine, oven and microwave, date back to pre-historic times. Vacuum cleaner doesn't work. Kitchen knives are totally blunt and unusable. Pots and pans with broken-off handles - burn your fingers. No wine glasses. No wine opener. The list goes on. When we called the agency to enquire about this the answer was: "The apartment has everything you need". The mentality of the people managing this place dates back to soviet times as well. It is obvious the owner never uses the place him/herself and is squeezing every ruble out of exploiting the place. We spend a lot of time in Moscow on visits but we'll be looking elsewhere next time. The experience has also materially affected our opinion of Wimdu as advertiser of properties like this.
Die Wohnung ist gut und zentral gelegen. Allerdings durch Verkehrslärm auch nachts sehr laut. Die Einrichtung entsprach den Erwartungen. Die Informationen vom Vermieter sind etwas spärlich. Insgesamt zufriedenstellend.
Super ruim en proper appartement. Alles aanwezig van handdoeken tot afwasmiddel en zelfs kruiden om te koken. Oxana De conciërge deed er alles aan om te helpen. Ook zeer goed gelegen vlakbij de arbat en een grote goedkope superwinkel die 24 u per dag open is recht tegenover de deur.
Mooi zicht , ook van de chaos op de ring maar eens de ramen dicht, geen last van het geluid. Zeker aan te raden en voor herhaling vatbaar. 1 minpuntje' : de boiler was kapot dus zoals vroeger met grote pannen heet water het bad aangenaam gemaakt.
Ook met wimdu alles netjes en correct verlopen .!
Die Wohnung ist hervorragend zentrumsnah und verkehrsgünstig gelegen, allerdings war ein nicht unbeträchtlicher Verkehrs- und Baulärm dadurch unvermeidlich. Umfangreiche Bauarbeiten an den Gehwegen bis zum August 2016 brachten zusätzliche Einschränkungen mit sich. Die Ausstattung war zufriedenstellend; Leselampen an den Betten sowie vollständiges Essbesteck einschließlich Messer wäre wünschenswert. Bei dem Gebäude handelt es sich um ein sowjetisches Wohnhochhaus in Betonbauweise ohne Klimatisierung, das sich bei sommerlichen Temperaturen erheblich aufheizt.

Ethiopian newspaper editor, bloggers caught in worsening crackdown
Nairobi, November 17, 2016--Ethiopia should immediately release all journalists detained amid an intensifying crackdown on the media, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. In recent weeks, Ethiopian authorities have jailed a newspaper editor and detained two members of the award-winning Zone 9 bloggers' collective, which has faced continuous legal harassment on terrorism and incitement charges. A fourth journalist has been missing for a week; his family fears he is in state custody.

text: What are your oppinions on bottemless hives. There was a artice on them in Bee Culture and it seemed like a good idea the only downside was slighty less honey which isnt that important to me. Should I start my first 2 hives bottemless? Would bottemless hives survive cold winters?


text:
Just a thought. You could paint the entire box with a coat or two of polyurethane. That would protect your fabric from the wood. They make a non-oil based poly that dries quickly and easy clean up. I'd use a throw away brush and make a quick job of it.
I like what you've done with the boxes.


text:
I went out to check on the hive and found 1 of the 4 has died. There is plenty of honey, pollen and bees, but almost all the bees are piled up on the screened bottom board and against the south side (inside) of the hive. We treated for varroa last fall with Hopguard. We have been checking the debris board below the screened bottom board and have seen around 10-15 mites per week. Last checked the hive last Saturday and while we did not open it up, bees were flying and the hive was humming.
Attached are a couple of pictures. Would appreciate any suggestions. The other three hives appear to be doing great today. Since the dead bees are in the hive, is there anywhere I can send a sample for a disease diagnosis? I live in Missouri but can ship anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

New opportunities to help blood supply
BRISTOL, Tenn. - Wellmont Health System and Marsh Regional Blood Center will conduct public blood drives.
In a press release, organizers say blood donations are especially important in the summer because activities during this season tend to carry a risk for injury. They say donors with an O-negative blood type are particularly welcome, as their blood can be used for any patient.
The hospital and blood center say as many as three lives may be saved each time a person donates blood. They also say an individual's blood donation to Marsh Regional stays local to help people in this region. Marsh Regional supplies blood to 22 healthcare facilities in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.
If you would like to donate blood, here are some things to keep in mind: individuals must be at least 17 years old, weigh 110 pounds or more and be in good health. People with a cold, sore throat, fever, flu or fever blisters or who are taking antibiotics may not donate. Donors should eat a balanced meal before giving blood.
Here's a list of the blood drive locations:
· Monday, July 29, 8 a.m.-noon, Holliston, Church Hill
· Monday, July 29, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Regions, Sunset Drive, Johnson City

this is my second year keeping bees and I'm really having fun with it. I've got two full-sized colonies (2 deeps each) and one nuc that I'm hoping to build up before winter. I pulled the honey last week and am letting the girls take advantage of the goldenrod and aster we have in bloom right now.
I plan to get a couple more nucs next spring and expand the bee yard a bit. I've got all winter to read and learn, which is exactly why I'm here.

Roll south
We board a ferry to Skagway tomorrow morning, and from there it's on to Whitehorse, then down the Cassier Highway to visit friends in Smithers, B.C., and Vancouver, then Seattle, Portland and San Fransisco. Geoff has a race on May 2, but we have just a little over a week to get there. I'm hoping the old Geo makes it.
I really don't have the words for how I feel about leaving Juneau at this time. Life moves faster than I do. Sometimes there's not much more to say. I'm excited but apprehensive, too. I've been having deep doubts about the Great Divide. Like maybe it's not the right place at the right time, this time, but this may be my best and last chance. Even everything after San Fransisco is looking a little hazy. But it will be an adventure. Life's always an adventure. Usually the biggest things happen when you least expect.
I expect to post as much as I can along the way. I'll likely cling to this blog as my window home; it has always been a great place to both dump thoughts at random and organize them into a sense of perspective. So don't worry about radio silence. :-)
Wish me luck.

I have been reading your blog for a year now. I found it searching for winter biking information. I just wanted to let you know that you have been an ispiration to me to do more. I am riding more in the winter and in the snow. I live in PA so the winters are not that bad compared to Alaska. I am also going to try some ultra endurance riding this year.I will miss your pics from Alaska, I was stationed in Ancorage for 3 1/2 years back in the early 80's.I will be looking forward to reading about your new adventures ahead.ReplyDelete
Have a great trip...I have even been to some of those places and I am looking forward to reading about your escapades.....it is funny but I have found that blogging is like a real comfort zone, we can empathise with, share our adventures and our passions and even inspire others through this and I am sure you will continue to be an inspiration to so many people.ReplyDelete
Good luck and have a great trip!ReplyDelete
Oh, you're off to new adventures! I'll be checking in often to hear your opinions of life in the Lower 48; hope all your adventures are good ones. Good luck and good times, Jill!ReplyDelete
Tunes for the drive...check.
Opportunity for some awesome new experiences...check.
Safe travels. Looking forward to hearing of your adventures.

I'm a grad student at MSU in Bozeman and I'm searching for old issues of Michael Burgett's Pacific Northwest Pollination Survey. The survey began in 1986 and includes pollination prices by crop, colony numbers and the source of beekeepers income. This survey was initially published in the USDA's "Honey Market News" and later under the name "The National Honey Report," and is now published by the Department of Commerce. I also believe it was included in a variety of state level beekeeping association newsletters.
If anyone has old copies of these reports or insight on where to find them I would be very grateful if you were to share them with me.

"Damontre Moore whetted his appetite with early success on special teams. Now the rookie defensive end is ready for the main course.
he Giants coaching staff is starting to believe so, too. And the timing couldnt be better because there are four defensive linemen on the teams injury report to begin the week, although Jason Pierre-Paul participated fully in practice today.
That led Tom Coughlin to say in his Wednesday press conference that the third-round draft choice will get an opportunity to contribute on defense. Moore was told the same.
I say, OK, Moore said. But I try not to get hung up on it because I like to try to stay hungry. Its like that old saying, A hungry dog hunts the best. So I just try to stay levelheaded and not pay attention to it and keep doing what Ive been doing.
What he has been doing is contributing on special teams.
After missing the season opener with a shoulder injury, Moore is tied with Zak DeOssie for second on the team with two special teams tackles. He also partially tipped a Kansas City punt last week, following up his blocked punt against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first preseason game.
Like most players who go on to have successful careers with the Giants including fellow defensive ends Pierre-Paul, Justin Tuck, and Mathias Kiwanuka the path for Moore began with special teams. Thats how it gets laid out by the coaches.
The coaches have always been men of their word, Moore said. Every time they tell me something, its always been right. When they told me if you play your scheme and you run it as hard as you can, youre going to get a block your first week. Everything that theyve said has come true. So I wouldnt start doubting them now.
Coughlin hopes the team can build on Moores good energy and contribution on special teams.
Asked what is the one key ingredient that he could add to the Giants pass rush, Moore paused, and responded, Just an eager puppy thats ready to get in there and just go play. Just tell me what to do and Im going in there with open eyes and just running as fast as I can, as hard as I can, and hopefully something happens.

MS Access Query to determine if 1+ fields of a subset of fields is not null
I recently encountered an issue where I tried to determine which records for any of 7 out of 12 Forest Service National Forests contained data for a query. Region 4 of the USFS has 12 NFs, of which 7 have boundaries within Idaho. For a list of sensitive species occurring in the region, I wanted to determine which species occurred in 1 or more of the forests that occur in Idaho. Currently, R4 indicates 231 sensitive species, but only 56 occur in forests within Idaho.
With my original query, I simply put `Is Not Null' in the `or:' row of the query design view, but this resulted in no records being returned. It appeared that something needed to be in the `Criteria:' row of query design, but when I did this, then put `Is Not Null' in the `or' row going straight across for each field desired, only records meeting the `Criteria:' rule were returned. Example of failed query shown below:
It ended up that the query rules needed to be "tiered" or staggered in the query design view, with each OR statement completely encapsulated with parenthesis, resulting in the following GOOD SQL query:
SELECT [Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].ID, [Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Type, [Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Species, [Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Common, [Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Boise_NF, [Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Caribou_NF, [Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Challis_NF, [Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Payette_NF, [Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Salmon_NF, [Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Sawtooth_NF, [Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Targhee_NF
FROM [Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011]
WHERE ((([Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Boise_NF) Is Not Null)) OR ((([Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Caribou_NF) Is Not Null)) OR ((([Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Challis_NF) Is Not Null)) OR ((([Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Payette_NF) Is Not Null)) OR ((([Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Salmon_NF) Is Not Null)) OR ((([Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Sawtooth_NF) Is Not Null)) OR ((([Tbl_USFS-R4--July_2011].Targhee_NF) Is Not Null));

It looks as if Arthur Branch, a/k/a Fred Thompson, is about to swap Law and Order for the law and disorder otherwise known as campaign 2008.
As he travels around the country giving speeches, dispensing homilies, and blogging on numerous Web sites, the question for Thompson's supporters no longer is whether he'll announce his candidacy, but when. His entry, when it does come, will have a profound effect on the GOP race, since his looming presence has already influenced its shape so far.
To a lesser extent, so too will this week's debates on CNN — the Democrats on Sunday (their second) and the Republicans on Tuesday (their third). These sparring matches come at a time when Congress has been immersed in the two hot-button issues of 2007: the Iraq War and immigration reform, both of which have exposed new divisions among the candidates.
Here, then, are new odds that reflect these shifting currents and include Thompson in the mix.
Republicans Rudy Giuliani
Odds: 3-2.
The odds of Giuliani's getting the nomination will obviously be diminished by a Thompson entry. But for now he remains the front-runner because every time the "war on terror" emerges as an issue, he's the figure to whom voters flock. Still, Giuliani appears to have no strategy for winning the earliest states, which could allow one or two other candidates to gain momentum heading into the large primaries on February 5. He needs another strong debate performance on Tuesday night, reminding GOP voters that if they want to win in 2008, he's their strongest general-election candidate.
Fred Thompson
Odds: 3-1.
When you're thinking of running for president, the press loves you — and Thompson is reaping the benefits. But he can expect a slew of attacks — especially from McCain, his old ally, who has found a new voice by roasting everyone in sight. When Thompson enters, he will become a temporary hero of the New Right and the conservative blogosphere. As he morphs into just another candidate, however, he runs the risk of becoming this year's Howard Dean — strong in the season before the primaries, but weaker later on when it counts.
John McCain
Odds: 3-1.
The theory had been that a Thompson entry would destroy McCain's candidacy. But a more vibrant McCain has found his stride by again making himself the outsider: defending the congressional immigration compromise against GOP critics and strongly supporting the Iraq War against Democratic ones. He still has residual support in the early states. So, if he can do better in the debates (i.e., come across as younger), he has a chance of putting his campaign back together. Should he win Iowa or New Hampshire — and the latter, especially, is at least a reasonable possibility — he'll go into Super Tuesday as one of the leaders.
Mitt Romney
Odds: 9-1.
Romney may have peaked too soon. If, for some reason, Thompson blinks, Mitt remains the attractive new face. But assuming Thompson stays focused, a lot of Romney's early soft support will drift to the former Tennessee senator and then to others. In a divided field, Romney still has a good shot at winning his old neighbor, New Hampshire. But now, unless he wins both that state and Iowa, he'll look like he's fading. He needs to show more depth during the Tuesday-night debate. Otherwise, even though Romney is likely to win the Iowa straw poll this summer, it could be pretty much all downhill from there.

Reviews of this property
Great location from which to explore. Just a short walk and short metro ride to Manhatten and connections to Brooklyn, and 1 minute away from stops on the Q58 bus route between Brooklyn and Flushing.
The apartment itself was clean, large and very comfortable for two, provided wifi, bed linen and towels.
Jason met me at the apartment and explained everything and was very accommodating with our arrival and departure times.
A very minor grumble was that the plumbing in the house was a little noisy in the morning as water tanks behind the loft walls must serve other apartments in the property, but this is only a very minor complaint.
All in all, I would highly recommend Jason's apartment as a base to explore New York.
The apartment was clean, quiet and comfortable. Splendid was that it had a computer. It was close to bus, subway and convenient shops of all kinds.
Jason was friendly and very helpful. One never had to wait long for an answer from him when one sent an WhatsApp.
We spent three whole weeks and would gladly rent this apartment again.
We had a very pleasant stay in this apartement and we can really recommend it.
Jason is an exeptional friendly and helpful person. He is showing you every detail of the equipment in the apartement and takes care that you understand how to find the nearest subway, the shops etc. He even made a short trip in his car with us to show us the streets and places nearby.
The apartment has ample space and is very well equipped, even better than written in WIMDU. You do not find only WiFi but an internet PC with a big flatscreen, an immense TV etc. The bed is very good, the kitchen has everything you might need, there is a seperate bathroom one floor down. There is a heating and air condition.
The apartement is situated in the loft of a house with other residents on the groundfloor and first floor. The environement is calm and interestingly international. You will find many chinese shops.
We went to Manhattan daily by subway. It is a tiring trip because it runs all the way under ground, but within 35 min you are at Times Square.
For us this place was ideal and we could not wish something else.
The appartment is really nice, you have everything you need there in one big room: kitchen, living room with TV, a desktop computer you are free to use and two beds to sleep at, one single bed and one bigger bed for two people. Additionally, a fourth person could sleep on the couch in the living room. Furthermore, you have your own private bathroom. The appartment is located in Queens and it's a 5-10 minutes walk to the next subway station. From there, you can reach JFK airport in about 10minutes, downtown NYC is 30 minutes away by train and you have an excellent view of the town when getting to Manhattan by train over the bridges.
We stayed for almost a week at the appartment and really enjoyed our stay. Jason has been a perfect host, always helpful and welcoming!
Thank you Jason for having a great time in NYC! When we come back to NYC we will definitely try to book your appartment again! :-)
Our stay at Jason's loft could not have been any better. He was super nice, picked us up from the train station and showed us around the apartment and the neighborhood. Definitely a good host! The apartment itself was very spacious, clean and quiet. The subway station is a 5 minute walk away and there's a nice mall that is about 10 minutes away by foot. We really liked the area the loft is located in. It usually took us about 30 minutes to get to downtown Manhattan. We will definitely be staying at Jason's place again whenever we're back in New York!
We had a wonderful stay in NY. The loft is very quiet (lovely when coming from Manhattan returns :-)) and very clean. Jason gave us a really nice and showed us everything we needed for a pleasant stay. All in all, highly recommended!
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in NY. Das Loft ist sehr ruhig gelegen (herrlich, wenn man aus Manhattan zurückkehrt :-)) und sehr sauber. Jason hat uns wirklich nett empfangen und uns alles gezeigt, was wir für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt benötigten. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen!
Everything was great! Contact with Jason worked perfectly. The apartment has a good air conditioning, which in summer you definitely braucht.Es was clean and ruhig.Alles super in everything !!
Es war alles super! Kontakt mit Jason hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Die Wohnung hat eine gute Klimaanlage,was man im Sommer definitiv braucht.Es war sauber und ruhig.Alles in allem super!!
Jason is a very good host. He expects in the apartment. Water is already at hand and can be easily reached when questions arise and are solved quickly. The loft was functional furnishings - everything clean. Detergent, toilet paper, hair dryer, towels, washcloth, tissues etc. was present. The Korean neighborhood was quiet and friendly. We felt safe at night. A PC with high-speed internet is also available so that you can check also for sightseeing. The Subway station is 10 minutes away and it is 20 minutes from Downtown. We were completely satisfied and would again take an apartment of Jason. The price-performance ratio is right.
Jason ist ein sehr guter Gastgeber. Er erwartet einen in der Wohnung. Wasser steht schon parat und ist gut erreichbar, wenn Fragen auftauchen und werden schnell gelöst. Das Loft war funktional eingerichtet - alles sauber. Reinigungsmittel, Toilettenpapier, Fön, Handtücher, Seiflappen, Kosmetiktücher u.v.m. war vorhanden. Die koreanische Nachbarschaft war ruhig und freundlich. Wir fühlten uns auch nachts sicher. Ein PC mit schnellem Internet steht auch zur Verfügung, so dass man sich auch für Sightseeing informieren kann. Die Subway Station ist 10 Minuten entfernt und man ist in 20 Minuten in Downtown. Wir waren rundum zufrieden und würden wieder eine Wohnung von Jason nehmen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt.
Very pleasing received by Jason and the room was fine even for a longer stay in New York
Heel prettig ontvangen door Jason en de ruimte was prima ook voor een langer verblijf in New York
Jason was the best owner that I neved had. When I arrived he showed me how the neighborough was. We've made a round with his truck I really appreciated that.
He was very helpful and available. Once I had a problem with the conditionner and he fixed it in a row like twenty minutes. I really had a great time in his apartment.
The neighborough is very quiet you can find everything that you want. There is the Queens center mall around there. For going to Manhanttan it takes 25 minutes.

Looks like you could save a lot of money over buying a swinger if used as a loader. Might be the deal you've been waiting for.
At least when you run the forks through the hive bodies due to not being able to see the forks enough you are in the truck protected from stings.
With three or four forward speeds though, think how fast you could go!

Get it DOT certified as Farm Equipment. Then, yeah, I think you got a good idea...Tractor -loader would look good goin down the road. I would paint the trailer the same root beer brown so it was all matching. Then I would paint DBEST Apiaries on the door!
You could find a paintless trailer...then I would really fit in around here. I had a friend wave at me while I was in a truck he'd never seen before, when I asked "how'd you know it was me" he replied: "It was kinda junky looking...like something you'd own." The real sad part, I had just bought it.

When I started in bees, beeks in my area would take an old 4wd , put forks on the rear, strip the chassis and face the seat to the rear with an orbit steering system. They worked great. One is still in use by a steel building erection company. This was befor you could buy a Swinger off the show room. All this fancy stuff you have now was dreamed up in some beeks garage and refined over the years.
I saw my 1st ones in ventura County Calif April 1973
My websitehttp://bees4u.com/
Yeah they were all the rage around here for a while too. The hot set up was using the hydraulics to lift front wheels off the ground so no trailer. I bet some are still in use, for better or for worse. But either friction or fluid drive, all the backing and forwarding wears out too quick. People load a lot more bees now than " back then ". I had one I was virtually giving away but when scrap was high we just cut it up. Unless the wheel base is very short it takes a lot of space to manuever. Still, the resourceful can build something very useful.

Pics in Slide Show Courtesy of David King About Our County
Clearwater County was established February 27, 1911, by the State of Idaho under the provisions of House Bill No. 2 of the Eleventh Session of the State of Idaho; Clearwater County was named for the Clearwater River whose name was translated from the Nez Perce term Koos-Koos-Kai-Kai, describing clear water.
In 1805 Lewis and Clark followed an old Indian trail between the north and middle forks of the Clearwater River and met the Nez Perce near the present site of Weippe, Idaho. Gold was first discovered by E.D. Pierce in 1860 and Pierce City and the oldest mining town in Idaho came into existence and was home to the first courthouse in Idaho.
Clearwater County was formed from Nez Perce County which was a part of Shoshone County from 1864 until 1904, when it then became established as a part of Nez Perce County from 1904 until 1911. February 27, 2011 marked the 100th anniversary of the creation of Clearwater County.

Chloë Moretz's Holiday Must-Haves
"When I was nine years old, my family lost our home and the six of us moved into my grandparents' converted garage. Besides my family, music is the one thing that I've always had in my life. That's why I decided to become an entertainer."
"I asked my parents if I could try out acting for six months. If I wasn't booking anything after six months, I'd quit. They let me get an agent and I booked almost everything I tried out for, from commercials and magazine modeling, to short films. At the end of six months, they let me keep my agent, and sign up for dance class! I'll never forget the feeling of walking out on stage when my dance class performed in L.A. That's when I knew I wanted to be a singer. When I was 11, I decided to start rapping, playing guitar, and writing songs. Everything really blossomed from there."

Galaxy S4 Active owners can now celebrate, as their devices have received the head nod from AT&T to begin updating to Android 4.3. It's taken a while, but updates are always better late than never. Am I right, HTC One X and One X+ owners? Then again, don't feel too bad, since the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 are still waiting to hear about Android 4.4. Ah, fragmentation, it's a beautiful thing. Anyways, back to the topic at hand. (more…)

NVIDIA's Tegra NOTE 7 Tablet Sees Android 4.3 Update, Includes New Stylus and Camera Enhancements
NVIDIA's ultra-affordable 7-inch tablet, the Tegra NOTE 7, received its first "significant" update since launch this morning. The update jumps the device up to Android 4.3, but that's minor compared to what NVIDIA did to enhance the camera and the tablet's stylus support. For those not familiar with NVIDIA's update tactics, just know that you should probably expect updates like this on the regular. When the SHIELD launch earlier this year, NVIDIA told us that their goal was to update that device quite frequently, something I would imagine they will try to do with the $199 NOTE as well. (more…)

HTC One Android 4.3 Update for Verizon Now Rolling Out
Yesterday, we posted up that Verizon approved an update to Android 4.3 for the HTC One, and this morning, it appears that folks are receiving it. Besides updating the device to Android 4.3, the changelog states that there are a few bug fixes thrown in, plus Verizon added in a few bloatware apps. Users can now also add their own music to Video Highlights in the Gallery, so that's good. (more…)
HTC One Android 4.3 Update for Verizon Approved, Here is the Changelog
The HTC One on Verizon is ready to receive its Android 4.3 update this week. Tipped to have been approved by HTC's executive director of product management, Verizon has now posted the support documents, making everything official and giving us all of the details surrounding this update, which as been finalized as build 2.10.605.1.
In terms of new stuff after the update, users will see the ability to add their own tracks to Highlights videos. And that's pretty much it. The rest is bug fixes for charging with a Mophie Juicepack, correction of faint ringing noise with earpieces, and the option to play purchased ringtones. Oh, Verizon also took a moment to add more bloatware to the phone.
With approval by Verizon, I'd imagine we will see the update begin to rollout as early as today, with an extended rollout happening throughout the week.
Let us know if you see it! (more…)
Android Distribution Numbers for December: Jelly Bean Strong at 54.5%, Kit Kat on Only 1.1% of Devices

I love that idea! Yes! Cheesy Salmon. I guess then it would not really resemble a typical lasagna but still. Oh I also like the idea of spinach. Like ground beef, ricotta, mozzarella and spinach with perhaps instead of a store-bought pasta sauce, a home-made one with more herbs and spices. The recipe i found is kinda bland in that sense and it lacks veggies.
No-meat lasagna is quite nice with all sorts of sauteed and grilled vegetables - eggplant, zucchini and yellow/summer squash, onions, garlic . . . I keep a few pots of fresh herbs that come inside in winter . . . it's amazing how often they get used when otherwise, I might not bother purchasing the same number/variety.

Re: Lasagna Cupcakes! Jeez!
I can't keep fresh herbs alive through the winter. I think it's the lack of light. I once considered getting a daylight lamp for them, but they cost a fortune, to buy and to run. And when you Google "daylight lamp" you find yourself in a world of hash growers. Same thing happens if you Google "is molasses the same as treacle". Apparently hash plants like treacle. Who knew?
Anyway, the thing about lasagne cupcakes is, how are you supposed to eat them without getting sauce all over your hands? Or do you just eat them with a knife and fork?

The cheapest is to buy the florescent fixture - that long, metal-topped ugly thing that fits two tubes, attach chains and hang this on hooks in the ceiling so you can bring it to whatever level you need. Use full-spectrum tubes which are very cheap in terms of electricity.

NYT: Virginia Gov. McAuliffe learning the hard way that "jollity" and "bipartisanship" are not the same thing
posted at 12:41 pm on March 24, 2014 by Erika Johnsen
It didn't matter that he hadn't actually had any executive or governing experience, Gov. Terry McAuliffe repeatedly assured Virginians during last year's campaign and again at his inauguration in January, because he would wine and dine his way into the legislature's hearts and minds the same way he had boozed and schmoozed Democratic donors into donating millions of dollars over the decades. Persuading opposition lawmakers on partisan policy positions and cajoling Democrats into giving money to causes in which they probably already believe is more or less the same thing, right?
No. The NYT has noticed:
But Mr. McAuliffe has had a hard comeuppance, as his gift for persuasion has met a conservative Republican majority in the House of Delegates unmoved by the charm offensive. The regular 60-day legislative session ended in stalemate two weeks ago without a state budget. As a special session begins on Monday with both sides raising the specter of a government shutdown, Republicans charge that the governor, serving in his first elected office, is all schmooze and little substance.
"I think he was under the impression you just come down here, slap everybody on the back, have a few cocktail parties and we'd pass things where we have real differences in philosophy," said Kirk Cox, the Virginia House majority leader. "I don't think that's worked for him." …
In an interview, the congenitally upbeat Mr. McAuliffe said, "Most people would say I had a more successful session than any first-term governor."
But William J. Howell, speaker of the House, is not one of those people. "I've never seen, Republican or Democrat, anybody come in with so little an agenda and so little attention to the process," he said.
I find it uniquely, poignantly, and painfully hilarious that Team McAuliffe tried their darndest to associate Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli with national gridlock and the federal shutdown last fall, a fate that McAuliffe claimed he was well-qualified to avoid — and yet that could potentially be what's happening in Virginia under the first few months of his leadership. The state legislature is going into a special session today, because their regular session ended a couple of weeks ago without a budget and without having expanded Medicaid — a prize that both McAuliffe and the Obama administration have been pushing hard as a top priority. State Republicans are the ones who would like to decouple and pass a "clean" budget from the Medicaid issue, so they can avoid a potentially looming shutdown (which would start on July 1st) and debate the Medicaid issue later in the year (Virginia lawmakers generally only meet twice a year for six weeks each, a rule of which I am excessively fond), but McAuliffe and his fellow Democrats know that separating the two action items will leave them without much leverage to go on. Oh, how the tables have turned.
Anyhow, in opening up the session this morning, McAuliffe introduced a possible idea for a trial "pilot" program in the hopes of moving Republicans toward his own line of thinking; we'll see where that gets us:
Gov. Terry McAuliffe is proposing expanding Medicaid under a two-year pilot that he says could end at that time without financial penalty to the state. …
McAuliffe said he has assurance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that Virginia can launch a two year pilot to use the federal funds and get out of it with no obligation.
The letter he said opens the door for "a pragmatic and balanced approach to closing the health care coverage gap." …
If expansion ends, he says he will take the responsibility. …
"Everybody else is off the hook," he said.

How-To: Prevent SPAM with Apache's mod security
Posted by chantra on 6th November 2014
WordPress is a great piece of software to run a blog, it is flexible, has tons of plugins are developed for it and updates are really easy to do. To fight spam comments, there is already the Akismet plugin that does a really good job.
While Akismet catches the spam comments and put them in a separate location, making it easy to delete them, as the number of spam grows, WordPress can take long to empty the purge the flush comments and the best option becomes to use a manual SQL query to flush them.
In this article, we will see how we can use RBL to prevent spammer from posting to WordPress's comment page and at the same time, lift a bit of load from the server.
While the rules work for WordPress, with a bit of modifications, it will be easy to get this setup working for any kind of blog/website.

Asteroids smaller than those now being actively catalogued constitute a largely neglected natural hazard
Russell Schweickart, Clark Chapman
In October 2001, we and 22 like-minded engineers and astronomers,
including a few former and current astronauts, got together at the
Johnson Space Center in Houston to discuss what we saw as a missing
element in the space program: attention to the possibility of our
planet being struck by a near-Earth asteroid. We knew of the
accelerating rate at which such objects were being discovered. But
no one, certainly no federal or international agency, was taking
seriously the question of what exactly to do when an asteroid is
found with our address on it. During that initial meeting, less than
six weeks after the 9/11 terrorist strike, we decided that this
threat from outer space needed to be dealt with seriously and that
our group might just be able to move the process along. To
facilitate our work, we formed the B612 Foundation, a non-profit
corporation named after the home asteroid of the title character in
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince.
NASA has been spending about $4 million a year to meet a 1998
Congressional mandate to chart (by 2008) at least 90 percent of the
near-Earth asteroids that are more than 1 kilometer in diameter.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has been overseeing the effort,
called the Spaceguard Survey, which has to date discovered more than
790 of an estimated 1,100 or so of these huge, rocky objects. The
impact of a 1-kilometer asteroid would release the same amount of
energy as 70,000 megatons of TNT or, equivalently, as 1,400 of the
largest thermonuclear weapons ever detonated. The subsequent
Sun-dimming pall of debris lofted high into the atmosphere would
envelop our planet for months, threatening all of human civilization.
The need to be on the lookout for such an immense catastrophe is
clear enough, as more than one Hollywood blockbuster has made widely
known. The capability of the current search effort, however, is
inadequate to address the danger posed by the far more populous
cohort of smaller near-Earth asteroids, those down to about 100
meters in diameter. Such objects can cause serious local or even
regional destruction. The impact of a 100-meter-diameter body would
release the equivalent of an 80-megaton bomb and thus could
devastate an area the size of a large city, for example. And a
several-hundred-meter body could cause a tsunami rivaling or
exceeding last year's horrific Indian Ocean event.
Objects in this range of diameters are discovered only incidentally
today by the modest equipment that has been dedicated to finding
their larger siblings. A recent addition to the list of small
asteroids that have a small but real chance of striking the Earth is
a 330-meter-diameter asteroid named 99942 Apophis (formerly known as
2004 MN4). It has a 1-in-32,000 chance of impacting in April
2035 and a 1-in-12,000 chance of striking in April 2036. So there's
no need to become alarmed at this stage. Yet one of these smaller
asteroids is far more likely than their larger counterparts to
constitute a danger in the foreseeable future. They are also easier
to deflect away from Earth using space technology. The problem is
that today astronomers have discovered such a low percentage of the
smaller near-Earth asteroids that a strike with no warning
whatsoever is far and away more likely than our having enough time
to undertake an effort at deflection.
Hazard a Guess
In 2003, a NASA study team published a report that recommended
deploying telescopes that could bring the detection threshold of
near-Earth asteroids down to about 140 meters. Others believe that
targeting 100 meters is a more appropriate goal. Below that size,
the atmosphere largely protects us, although the best estimates of
the object that caused the 1908 Tunguska explosion (which destroyed
2,000 square kilometers of Siberian forest) was about 65 meters.
Unfortunately, no action has been taken to implement the
recommendations made in that excellent report.
Whereas scientists in the United States have done most of the
discovery work, many amateur and professional astronomers around the
world make essential follow-up observations, which allow the orbits
of the newly discovered asteroids to be refined and the
probabilities of impact to be ascertained. Specialists at both the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (who operate the Sentry System) and the
University of Pisa (who maintain the Near-Earth Objects Dynamic
Site) do a fine job of making such information publicly available.
But only the United Kingdom has begun to address the relevant policy
issues. Unfortunately, precious little was done with the excellent
recommendations contained in the report on the topic that Parliament
mandated in January 2000. No government or international body
assigned any agency responsibility for protecting life and property
from this extraordinary kind of natural disaster.
The B612 Foundation has thus wrestled with this aspect of the
problem virtually alone. In doing so, we have discovered that when
you start paying attention to the details, both the engineering and
the policy issues are far more complex than you might assume.
First, consider the technology-development front. It happens that
NASA was, at least until recently, headed in just the right
direction for building hardware that could deflect an object away
from a collision with Earth. Prometheus is a NASA program to develop
cost-effective deep-space propulsion capability by utilizing
high-performance ion or plasma engines powered by a small nuclear
reactor—just what would be needed to give a menacing asteroid
the necessary shove. The nuclear-electric propulsion portion of the
program now seems to be on hold with priority shifted toward
developing a small reactor for future work on the lunar surface.
Just prior to the arrival of Michael Griffin as the new NASA
Administrator, an asteroid-deflection mission was in the final
throes of consideration as the first operational test of the
Prometheus technology. This mission would have demonstrated the use
of an "asteroid tugboat" to deflect near-Earth asteroids,
a concept that we and two other members of our group spelled out in
Scientific American in November 2003. However, this
proposal, along with the Prometheus program, was put into limbo in a
reshuffling of NASA priorities.
Political Moves
On the policy side, it became obvious to us that asteroid deflection
raises a host of critical issues, many of them international in
scope. Intentional deflection of an asteroid bound to hit a specific
location on Earth transforms an "act of God" (in legal
parlance) into an intentional act of humankind. During deflection,
the point of impact is shifted from its original location along a
"path of risk" to a point where the asteroid barely grazes
the Earth's atmosphere. In the process, populations and property not
initially threatened are placed in jeopardy. If, for example, the
propulsion system were to fail before deflection was fully achieved,
the asteroid would then be headed for a new ground-zero, which
might, say, fall on the other side of an international border.
Shifting the point of impact might also reshape the potential and
nature of a subsequent tsunami, redistributing the risk from what it
had been before. Who then is liable? These concerns are just the tip
of one large and messy policy iceberg, but they exemplify very
significant matters with which no nation on Earth is currently dealing.
The B612 Foundation recently called this absence of government
involvement to the attention of the U.S. Congress. We suggested that
responsibility for protecting the Earth from impact hazards be
analyzed and assigned to some agency of the U.S. government. Most
people who are aware of the danger probably think that NASA already
has this duty, but in fact it doesn't. The scientists of NASA have
done an excellent job in discovering and cataloging these objects,
but their work, and to a large extent their thinking, has stopped
there. But thanks in large part to Texas Congressman John Culberson,
who has taken a strong interest in this issue, this vacuum is about
to be filled. As of this past June, NASA has been instructed to
assess what actions would be necessary to protect our planet from
asteroid impacts.
This recent Congressional action is a welcome development. We hope
that NASA will take its new charge seriously and examine the many
elements involved in full depth. Now might be an excellent time for
NASA to request that the National Academy of Sciences (which has
been silent on the issue) weigh in and recommend the proper steps to
take to integrate the management of this threat into the wider array
of responses to natural and human-caused hazards to society.
Although the task of providing an early warning has gotten off to a
good start, it is just a start. It's fine to know about the
possibility of infrequent civilization-busters, but it is well past
time to look systematically for the much more numerous 100- to
200-meter objects. Furthermore, once astronomers have reported their
data and made their calculations for the likelihood of an impact,
other professionals need to assess the hazard and inform the
public—both about the potential for damage and about the
practical options available to eliminate, or at least mitigate, the risk.
In addition, we believe that it is critical that the technologies
necessary to deflect a near-Earth asteroid be developed beyond the
current sketchy plans and that an actual demonstration be executed
within the next decade or so. After all, you always learn best by doing.
Perhaps most challenging, but vitally important, is to bring
together the institutional players, both domestic and international,
who must ultimately make the difficult choices about when and under
what circumstances we should attempt to deflect a threatening
asteroid—and what risks and costs we are willing to accept in
the process. Right now no one has any inkling about how these
decisions would be made.
Although the frequency of asteroid impacts is very low compared with
most other natural hazards, none has the same enormous potential for
devastation. Conversely, a catastrophic collision with an asteroid,
unlike any other major natural disaster, can be avoided
entirely—provided that we do our homework in time and with diligence.

#FriskyFriday: June 1st 2012
All of the #FriskyFriday girls on twitter strip down to barely nothing to celebrate this gorgeous sunny weekend.

Playing at a resolution of 5760x1080 so that's why the screenshot is so wide. Just started working on it yesterday so it's not yet done by far!
Still looking for a proper addon to move some of the frames like the tool-tip and buffs in the upper right corner. Any suggestions? Can't find them in moveanything.
