News Release
Council Roundup: Getting electric cars charged up
The City Council on Monday approved changes to the city's land use code that smooth the way for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations at homes, businesses and other locations.
Starting Feb. 14, charging stations will be allowed in the same places where parking, gas stations and auto repair and maintenance services are found. The ordinance allows charging stations at both single-family houses and apartment buildings. Battery exchange stations are approved at gas stations and auto repair locations.
Updating the regulations is timely because the first mass-produced electric cars are hitting the market and Bellevue expects an uptick in interest about charging stations at homes and businesses. Previously, the city's land-use code did not mention charging stations.
A permit is required to install a charging station, even those for private use at home. Permit information is available at the Development Service Center on the first floor of City Hall. Permits can also be obtained online at MyBuildingPermit.com; Development Services offers answers to frequently asked questions about electric vehicles.
For details about the land use code amendment that allows charging stations, see the council council agenda item.
Feedback: Carol Helland, Land Use Director, 425-452-2724 or firstname.lastname@example.com

calves and ankles with greater circumference than normal, bearing similarity to baby elephant legs and young trees, hence jumbo + stems. Often covered by brown woollen socks to inadvertently accentuate mass of lower leg. See also cankles, but note jumbo stems have different ratio to knees and thighs.

Ship date: Q4 2005
Players take on the role of assassin Crow in "Frame City Killer," scouring an east-Asian metropolis to find and bring to justice a new-age drug lord. As a highly trained professional killer, players will have access to a number of different methods of dispatching their enemies, including cutting-edge weaponry and deadly hand to hand strikes. Before moving in on a target, players will need to scan and plan their attack, gathering information about their victim and establishing the best form of attack. As a bustling urban center, players can utilize a large number of drivable vehicles to get around Frame City , taking advantage of the game's non-linear gameplay to create their own tactics for a successful hit. " Frame City Killer" is the first Japanese-developed game to utilize the Unreal Engine 3 to deliver breathtaking visuals and physics, enhancing the overall play experience with realistic graphics and taking advantage of the full audiovisual power of the Xbox 360.
"Frame City Killer" is planned for release on the Xbox 360 this holiday season.

Mileage: 25.1 and 53.3
May mileage: 409
Temperature: 48 and 45
I've come to the conclusion that using a mountain bike for every ride is good for strength training. Whenever I'm riding on pavement, I always have this perception of how fast I should be going, not really considering the fact I need to push the mountain bike harder to get there. If I drop below 15 mph, I amp up the output. Plus, the mountain bike has coaxed me to seek out gravel and spur trails, no matter how short or rough, wherever I can find them. After two weeks of this, I've noticed a difference. I feel acute muscle soreness at the end of the day. And today, when I finally got around to shaving my legs (for being a girl and a cyclist, I don't do this nearly as often as I should) ... anyway, I noticed definite new muscle definition, especially in the lower quad region. Good things.
Tougher for me has been balancing my idea of a good morning ride with my bicycle commute. On Sundays I always have a little more time to spare, so I like to put in a longer midweek ride. Today I did a hard hill climb with a burn back into the wind, about three hours of riding that used up just about everything I had. I like it when I really push my limits like that, but the immediate hour following is always tough. I stumble down the stairs with legs that feel like a lightly charred piece of toast, about to crumble underneath me. I try to make lunch with hands that are still numb and shaking. I step into the shower and let all the effort soak in, blissfully tired and warm, and then I remember ... "Oh crap, I still have to ride my bike to work today."
I really, really didn't want to walk back upstairs and get back on my bike. But it's Bike to Work Week, and I couldn't let myself wuss out of a six-mile commute during Bike to Work Week. So I soft-pedalled toward the office until I crossed the bridge. That's when I was passed by a road cyclist.
What is it about being passed by another cyclist that so involuntarily ignites the primitive chase reflex within us all? I was like a border collie watching a sheep break away from the herd. I wanted - nay, I needed - to reel him in. Never mind that I was wearing jeans, riding a platform-pedal mountain bike and hoisting an overstuffed backpack that contained, among many other things, a frozen bag of ravioli and a jar of spaghetti sauce. All the better to crush the Lycra dude.
Anyway, the race was on, with my toasted quads and only partially recovered energy level, mashing and sweating for no reason whatsoever. When I finally did catch the guy, I just hung near his wheel and drafted off him until we reached my intersection. I don't even think he noticed.
And once I got to work, I had to go through the whole shaky hands and sweaty clothes routine, again. Luckily, I have a pretty good stash of extra clothing built up there now. But still, I'm tired, and not yet deep enough into my new routine to know how to keep the commute from becoming a few miles too many.

[quote user="Intellect"]
[quote user="Denaliman316"]Ocho the best of his generation? Yeah no. So he's better than Jennings, Fitzgerald, Driver, Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes and Andre Johnson? Gimmie a break! Gronks a beast to bring down but look who he has throwing to him hitting him in perfect stride. Now take Jason Witten and look who he has throwing to him, Tony Romo. Look what Green Bays WRs did to Detroit with Matt Flynn throwing. Point is WRs true abilities are measured by how the adapt when their rhythm is thrown off with their QBs. I am not saying your guys aren't good because they are but lets not get carried away. Oh and one last thing. I am so sick and tired of hearing about GBs throws being off due to rust. Rodgers was running for his life and not getting enough on his throws, throwing off his back foot, etc. same goes for Smith and they're scrambling QBs. So don't go nuts.[/quote]</P>
Bottom line, who are you all going to have to cover all of those receivers.* Mankins, Waters, Light, Solder and Vollmer along with Gronk and Polite will give Tom time.* You have Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Deion Branch, Chad Ochocinco, Julian Edelman, along with Danny Woodhead and Kevin Faulk coming out of the backfield.* Your best corner is Corey Webster and he is not an elite guy, hell Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie got skunked by this group.* You know someone will be one on one which means someone will get open.* Witten is not quiet GRONKowski, Greg Jennings is no Wes Welker, and Rodgers is no Brady... although he had*a great SEASON he is no Tom Brady.* Eli will have to score some points to have a chance. </P>[/quote]
I guess we should just concede now. You win. There is no way the giants can cover all those guys they have never played a team like the 2011 Patriots. The 2011 Patriots are better offensively than every single team the giants have beaten so far this year which ironically includes the 2011 Patriots who were beaten 24-20...by the giants. But youre right its hopeless for the giants

We think we found it on one of Samsung's support pages for the VZW Galaxy S4. The update may be rolling out today after all. (more…)

I want to return the Christmas gift
Dear Meredith,
I was hoping you could advise how I should handle a Christmas present from my husband. My husband bought me a lovely necklace for Christmas, but it's not something I really like -- and he spent a small fortune on it (far more than he's ever spent before). I'm concerned that by suggesting that I exchange it for something I love, I will cause more harm than good and deeply hurt his feelings. Usually, he picks out pieces that I love and cherish, but this year it was a miss. Any suggestion on how I can approach this with him and make him know how much I love and appreciate the effort and time he put into this gift ... but that this year was a miss and I'd love to find a piece together?
I'm writing you as I'm really on the fence as whether to bring this up. I know it's a gift and perhaps I should just accept it even though I don't love it. I don't want to cause an insult that may leave a lasting impression. Thanks for taking the time.
– Christmas Gift Conundrum, Boston
My official opinion, CGC, is that if you buy someone clothes or jewelry, you have to know that they might want to trade it in for something else. Returns are not rejections. Gift givers should know that.
There are a few exceptions to that rule, of course. If your significant other is an artist who made the wearable item, you should probably keep it. (If your boyfriend happens to be David Yurman and he gives you a necklace, please just wear it.) And if you've received a piece of jewelry that's a family heirloom, you must hold on to it and wear it on appropriate occasions.
In your case, you can absolutely say something -- and you should probably do it soon, before returning the gift is no longer an option. Tell your husband that you're having trouble wearing the piece and that you want to make the most of his generosity by finding something you really love. Explain that you trust his taste and that you'd like to pick this item out together.
He might get a little sad about your request, but only because he's usually so good at finding something you like. Those bad feelings should vanish once you guys find a piece you love. Trust me, he doesn't want his money to go to waste. Just be honest.
Readers? Should she say something or just keep the gift? If she speaks up, what should she say? Ever had trouble telling a partner that you didn't like a gift? Help.
– Meredith

A dog is not "almost human" and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to describe it as such.
wow some very nice centers
dragonfly nana--beautiful center!! I get to work on yours first, my mind is spinning, what size block is it so I can get started preparing. I'm so excited. I love your colors.
jillnjo--no surprise that your block is georgeous. Love the batiks. It will be awhile until I get yours, but I can't wait.
Happy Quilting,
Thanks all. jillnjo your center is lovely. Looks like we were all in a similar mind set for colors
My center is 20" finished size
Come on Judith1005 show us your center - I got some planning to do cause I get yours first!
Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans.
I thought that we all had similar color choices, too! My center is 20" or a little more square. Where are you, YaYa, I'm going to be starting on your center. Or is it already in the mail? I know it will be beautiful!
I absolutely LOVE the colors here and can't wait to see this square evolve into a thing of beauty. Sounds like you'll all be well-grounded in friendship by the time it's done, not to mention all the fun along the way!
Being skinny isn't easy, so I gave up and opted for being sexy instead. (aunty acid)
Here's my center block. I'll try to post a better picture later as this one doesn't show the true colors--the white is true white!
I haven't mailed it yet, but will in a couple of days when I can get to the post office in the nearby town--we are camping by the lakeside at Lake Almanor in the mountains near Mt Lassen for the next week!

Council discusses airport plowing
The city of Breezy Point plowed snow at the Breezy Point Airport, which raised some concern with council members, who felt city property should not be used to plow private property.
City Administrator Joe Rudberg explained in a memo to the council that airport plowing is not a standard practice, and the airport was charged for the plowing based on the city's fee schedule. He maintained that not plowing the helipad at the airport could be a public safety issue for the North Memorial Ambulance helicopter.
Council member Otto Schmid pointed out that oftentimes a snow event is when accidents occur and the need for the helipad could be the greatest.
Other council members expressed concern over city liability.
Rudberg also stated that the users are taxpayers, and there's a need for public relations and cooperation.
The council made no motions on the issue, but the general consensus was to refrain from using public equipment to plow private property, which is the city's policy.
"Outside the exception, we're not providing this service. If there's an emergency, we will provide this service," Rudberg said.
Public safety
Police Chief Kevin Merschman reported a total of 222 calls for service for December. Included in that total were 98 traffic stops, eight traffic arrests, 32 assisting another agency, eight alarms, seven animal related calls, seven accidents and 57 miscellaneous.
Merschman also submitted a yearend report, which showed a total of 2,432 calls for service in 2012. This compares with 2,209 calls for service in 2011.
In other business Monday, the council:
• Changed procedure for approving the monthly consent agenda. The consent agenda will no longer be approved by motion. Each council member is given the opportunity to pull an item for discussion, and if no items are pulled, the mayor announces that the items are adopted. Council member Scott Willer made a motion to continue with the former procedure of adopting the consent agenda, but his motion failed.
• Heard a report from the cemetery commission. Sixty-eight lots have been sold at Pelican Woods Cemetery, and there have been 36 burials. Of those burials, 13 were cremains and 23 were traditional.
• Approved a new zoning district, the Airport Zoning District. A memo on the district stated that the intent is to recognize the existence of a recreation airport, preserve its future and allow for the development or redevelopment of the adjacent properties.

Macaroli Patata Tamate Je Dhagh Mein (The Traditional Sindhi Name)
One of my favorite recipes that I cook at home is Macaroni Patata. By favorite I mean not only it is yummy, it got me started blogging. Being interested in cooking I always visit blogs to find different recipes that I would love to prepare at home. It all started when I saw an event on one of the blogs, reading that post, got me thinking of this wonderful recipe which I prepared the very same day. The next day I sent the email with the recipe and tada… it was on the blog. By the way it was put up with the name of Haag12. I was so nervous that I did not want to reveal my name and that's how I came up with the identity of Haag12 which really are initials of my maiden name and married name. Now, why not put up this traditional recipe on my own blog and I don't have to hide my name .
Here is a question that someone came up with, 'How did macaroni's get into traditional Sindhi Food?' Indeed a very good question…An answer (a good guess)… Sindhi's have always been very enterprising people. A lot of our bread winners travelled abroad (called Phoren in those days) and the good wives remained at home. The men on return would often bring goodies and once somebody happened to bring some macaroni's (pasta). The good wife (one of our ancestors) came up with one of her bright ideas and invented this recipe of macaroni and potatoes. Everyone at home loved it and thus Macaroni Patata became a traditional favorite recipe made over and over again in every Sindhi home. This is how macaroni's got incorporated in Sindhi cuisine, a wonderful fusion of Italian and Sindhi foods. Here goes the recipe of Macaroni Patata …
·1 cup Macaroni (your preference)
·4 Tomatoes (medium sized)chopped
·2 Potatoes
·3-4 Table spoons Oil
·2-2½ cups Water for cooking
·1Tsp Cumin(Jeera)
·1 heaped teaspoon Dhania powder
·½ teaspoon Red Chili Powder (Add more if you want it spicy)
·½teaspoon Haldi powder
·Salt to taste
·½ teaspoon Garam Masala for garnishing
·1 tbsp chopped Cilantro/Coriander leaves
Adding a little Twist… (Optional)
·Leftover phulkas : Fry quarters of these phulkas till brown and crunchy(Tikkars)
·Peel and dice potatoes about 1½ in squares. Wash thoroughly.
·Wash and chop tomatoes finely. (You can use canned, pureed, stewed or blanched tomatoes).
·Turn on heat and place pressure cooker on stove.
·Heat oil in pressure cooker. When hot, add cumin and fry for couple seconds.
·Next add the potatoes, macaroni's and chopped tomatoes.
·Then add all dry masalas, except garam masala.
·Keep frying (bhunoing) for about 5-7 mins.
·Add 2-2½ cups water and put on the pressure cooker lid.
·Let it whistle twice then lower the heat and simmer for about 3-4 mins.
·Ones the pressure is out open the lid.
·YUMMY, TASTY, DELICIOUS, SLURPY, MOUTHERWATERING…… Macaroni Potatoes is now ready.
·Garnish with garam masala and chopped coriander/cilantro leaves.
·Serve with plain Rice (Chawaran).
Add a little twist by dipping the crunchy fried phulkas (Tikkars) in the Macaroni Patata.
Note: You can always add more water if you want more gravy.
Make sure it is nice and soupy as it is fun to slurp the macaroni with rice.
Keep it simple keep it Sindhi.

Football Helmets Offer Inadequate Protection
A new study shows that current football helmets don't offer much protection against hits to the side of the head, which can lead to fatal concussions and brain swelling.
Ten helmets tested by researchers reduced the likelihood of traumatic brain injury by an average of 20 percent compared with no helmet in a simulation using crash test dummies. The most effective helmet reduced the risk by only 30 percent, according to the researcher's data.
Tests showed that the helmets didn't offer adequate protection from hits to the side of the head, which can lead to fatal concussions and brain swelling. A blow to the side of the head causes the neck to rotate, which can cause the brain to rotate.
"Biomechanics researchers have long understood that rotational forces, not linear forces, are responsible for serious brain damage including concussion, brain injury complications and brain bleeds. Yet generations of football and other sports participants have been under the assumption that their brains are protected by their investment in headwear protection," study co-author Dr. Frank Conidi, director of the Florida Center for Headache and Sports Neurology a, said in a press release.
Researchers tested football helmets with a version of the standard drop test system. That's the method the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment uses to test helmet safety and impact effect. To simulate an actual person, a crash test dummy with a neck wore the helmets.
Sensors were also placed in the dummy's head so the scientists could see the linear and rotational impact. Linear impacts often lead to brain bruising and skull fracture.
The dummies were then subjected to a 12 mile-per-hour impact while wearing 10 popular helmets.
The helmets did much better when protecting against linear impacts offering a reduced risk of skull fractures by 60 to 70 percent compared to not wearing a helmet. They also lowered the risk of brain bruising by 70 to 80 percent. However, the helmets reduced the risk of traumatic brain injury by only 20 percent compared to not wearing a helmet.
The helmets tested were:
- Adams a2000
- Rawlings Quantum
- Riddell 360
- Riddell Revolution
- Riddell Revolution Speed
- Riddell VSR4
- Schutt Air Advantage
- Schutt DNA Pro+
- Xenith X1
- Xenith X2
The Adams a2000 was shown to be the best protection against concussion, while the Schutt Air Advantage did the worst. However, the Adams a2000 was the worst against closed head injury -- when the skull and outer membrane of the brain remain whole after the incident -- while the Riddell 360 did the best.
Professional, college and high school management and athletes are much more aware of the medical dangers that repeated head trauma and concussions can trigger. The NFL and many colleges and high schools have implemented stricter rules regarding safety issues to help protect the athletes. Researchers want parents and players to know that, while helmets are certainly helpful to a certain degree, no one should develop a false sense of security that they offer adequate protection against serious head trauma.

Just wanted to add, I too have a Rockwell Model 10 contractor's saw! Bought it used years ago, have added fence, upgraded motor, new belt, added dust collection cabinet and outfeed table, still can't justify getting anything bigger or better.
Believe me if you can spend that 350 on a used table saw it will be much more bang for your buck. ANything new at that price is pretty much a waste of good money.
Any of those saws that are on the prior post on Craig's list are good saws at a good price. It is a no brainer.

About the Author
Claude AnShin Thomas is a Zen Buddhist monk and the founder of the Zaltho Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit organization that promotes peace among individuals, families, societies, and countries. A Vietnam War veteran, he speaks internationally in religious and secular communities about cultures of violence and how they can become transformed. He visits war-torn countries, hospitals, schools, and prisons, and facilitates mindfulness meditation retreats, long-distance pilgrimages, and practice days in former concentration camps and other places of suffering.
In the years following the Vietnam War, Thomas worked to address the plight of many of his fellow veterans who were suffering from social isolation, homelessness, drug addiction, unemployment, and abnormally high rates of suicide, divorce, and imprisonment. He came to realize that the roots of war are within each one of us and that our acceptance of our own vulnerability, aggression, fear, and individual suffering is the starting point of peace.
In 1990, Thomas began to walk a Buddhist path. He received full ordination as a Zen Buddhist monk in the Japanese Soto Zen tradition in August 1995.

I wonder if any of you wish that some currently unavailable product was available. Some of my wishes:
1. I would like Ruger to be more helpful in assisting those who buy their products, to be able to obtain vital spare parts.
2. I would like to see their Mini-14 available in other calibers such as .243 Win., 257 Roberts, etc. A little more horse power, please, in common calibers. I believe that their 6.8 is a viable self defense load, but this caliber is not very popular yet.
3. Years ago, Ruger was going to introduce a rifle similar to the Mini-14 in .308. They called it the XGI. How about trying it again? They have 40 more years of technology experience and maybe they could make it work this time!!
4. How about a semi auto tube loader (9 or 10 round capacity) in .357 magnum, .44magnum and other large handgun calibers? Ruger or anybody.
5. How about a pump action tube loader as above?
You all get the idea. What would you like to see? Please keep all suggestions firearms related (guns, scopes, ammo, etc.).

Hey Hambone - Ugly Works! You've got your proof right there in the picture. Nice going on that catch.
Hey Hambone - Ugly Works! You've got your proof right there in the picture. Nice going on that catch.
Last year I got a 10" table saw for $40 off craigslist, yesterday it got a new blade and I was able to get the 15/32 plywood for $12.47 at Home Depot.
I had them cut the sheets (2) in half as my shed is small, even then 4 x 4 was almost too big.
I am able to get 2 boxes out of each half, with a little left over. I made my first one last night, it took me a couple of hours just becuase I had to figure out which cuts to make and I also made up a little jig to hold the box while I glue and staple.
In future I will cut all the wood and then assemble last.
The box came out very nice and was maybe the easiest thing I have built yet.
Here's an endorsement. I have never built anything from scratch before. I needed a few nucs...saw the plan and how simple it appeared to be and decided to give it a shot. Went to Home Depot and got the plywood. It took me quite a while to sketch the plan onto the sheets, but finally got there. Cut the pieces and then assembled. I did adjust for medium frames (as I have all med. equipment). The only snag I ran into was my lack of planning for the cut width, which caused some of the pieces to not fit together as snugly as they should have..which was corrected with a little homemade wood bondo. Mine look a little like Hambones...but with a coat of paint....they'll be fine. Not bad for an absolute rookie. Thanks again for the plans!

Ken No I don't have a photo. Basely it is one piece lay-ed on top of another. The strip lay-ed on top that is glue to the bottom piece off center. The shoe of the saw rides on the plywood with the upper 2" strip edge working as A straight edge. Make every thing bigger than the shoe of your saw mine run about 1.5 for the one way and 7.5 the other way. When you make your fist cut down your straight edge you will be cutting it to size for that saw. I use two spring clamp to hold the guild in place when cutting something. I hate posting photo and I know I would lose someone the first time. I hunted all over the net for a drawing or a copy of the show for you. I saw it first on Ask this old house with tom I think it was in 5 season show # 25 but I lost it and drove myself nuts looking
Okay, I assembled four more 15/32" nucs and used 15/32" scrap plywood for the cleats. I have been converted, I will use plywood for future nuc cleats.

Here is a link for a circular saw guide. They work very well. I have one that is 4 foot long for cross cutting and one that is 8 foot long for ripping. Hope this helps.
When I build 5 frame nuc boxes I always have a small compartment on the back for inside feeding. I make the box 10cm (3inch) longer and put a sheet inside, a little bit lower so the frames sit on. Advantage: no bees from other hives can rub food, easy to fill and check, no jars.
On this website is a picture from a 3 frame nuc box (mini plus). My have space for five frames and it works great.
John thanks that is the one but I just use 1/4" plywood.
Posting this for beesource member Chick. (He is having a problem posting pics.)

Thanks for that thought - I have several stacks of old supers that occasionally catch a stray swarm, but most of them are slowly weathering away. It shouldn't be too difficult to salvage the solid parts of them and cut them into 1x2 cleats. Sure beats watching them gradually rot away to nothing.

Thanks for the post D
just a update. i was woried about the lids comming off so my solution was i went to my local hardware and got some 1 1/2" hinges. i put 2 on a nuc. it works great. the lid hinges over real nice.
On the bait hives I made, the lids attach with wood screws. The hives will be out for awhile, and they are not for actual raising bees, so, the lid is attached securely.
Ok, DCoates,
Somewhere in some little cubicle office some nerd ordering guy is sitting there wondering why all of a sudden there has been this big rush on 15/32 sheets of plywood!!!
I bought two sheets yesterday and built 4 boxes out of the first one last night while my wife was watching two episodes of Private Practice.
And I have wanted some of these for so long but thought it would take a lot of money and time!
I'd like to know how many of these Nucs have been built this spring since you posted this thread!
Three thoughts.....
1) I bought #4 galvanized nails and had some splitting. I am going to try to find some #3 galvanized nails today.
2) I can see where (if you were going to build a BUNCH of these) it would make things so much easier to nail the sides to the bottom to build a box just a LITTLE smaller than the finished box so you could just lay everything on top of and to the side of the guide box to keep things square.
3) I set my table saw for the correct width and cut the entire sheet as a rip for the widths designated by Ben Brewcat in post #36 of this thread. Maybe my saw blade is a little wide giving me extra wide kerfs (see, I learned something! I didn't know what a kerf was), but I didn't have the 1 7/8 inch strip left over. I only had 1 3/4 and not even the little scrap he shows. It worked ok, though because the 1 7/8 strip has lots of room to give.
FuzzyBeeKeeper, whenever I'm working with thin wood or ends, I ALWAYS pre-drill the hole, using a bit a little smaller than the nail. Takes a few more minutes, but it saves a lot of aggravation that way.
All I can say is with as busy as I have been around here chasing swarms, I'm glad you posted these plans. Hell, I barely got them built, I didn't even get to paint them yet and now I have to build more, guess that's why the weather is crappy right now. Slow down the swarms til I get more equipment built, I have 2 hives, 2 nucs ready, but need frames, bought 85 week ago and just have not had the time to build them.
So thanks again, I'll raise my next pint in your honor.
So where is the best place to put these traps.
At the Edge of a field or in the woods?
I'm sincerely glad that those who have used these plans have enjoyed those nucs as much as I have. I felt the simplicity allowed for novice woodworkers like myself to inexpensively make them and modify them for their personal preferences.
I just transfered one of my overwintered nucs out of one of those into a drawn deep that has a full but queenless split underneath them for a newspaper combine over lunch. I've now got 8 of these nucs ready for swarm season as catch boxes, swarm traps, and queen mating nucs. I think I've got 14 of them now with 4 currently occupied. Here's hoping for a good swarm season (not out of my hives though)
Personally, I like to put them just inside brush lines. I like for them to be in the about 6 to 7 foot off the ground and in the shade the majority of the time

I used this in conjunction with the shampoo, and I didn't have a very good outcome. My hair still felt dirty after washing, and styling was a nightmare. My hair felt stringy and that's not a common thing for my hair. I have very thick hair, and lots of it. This just made my locks feel heavy and look like I just fried it all.1

text: Hello everyone. My name is Allen and I've only recently started to gather parts for an ESB Boba Fett. Why the ESB version? Well, it's arguably the best Star Wars film to be released. Definitely, my fav. It introduced a live Boba Fett! I've spent the past year building an R2-D2 and am planning to start on HiC this Fall. (btw, if anyone has a source on aluminum u-clips please send me a pm ;) ) In the meantime, I'll be busy working on Boba Fett. I look forward to interacting with you all and learning all about the greatest and baddest bounty hunter of all time!!!
