Quiet studio with everything you may need. Located in Babin Kuk, a very interesting area of Dubrovnik plenty of local bars and hiking paths. Connected to Old Town (Bus no. 6,only 10 minutes) and to the main bus station (15 minutes walking). Staff is friendly, they even gave us a cellphone to communicate with them for free. April was a perfect choice because the city wasn't crowded and the weather was excellent. Thank you!
Lovely apartment with stunning views. Private pool was a blessing but is a few steps up the hill from the apartment. Good that there's a fridge freezer in this area though and a really nice patio set. All rooms fully air conditioned. I was on the fold down couch which was comfy so presume all other beds really comfy too. Provided bath and separate beach towels. There isn't a road to he front door so prepare to carry bags up and down, though the driver helped a lot. If you are not good on your feet I'd stay elsewhere, which would be a shame. The view is worth the 471 steps into the old town (yes I counted). Also useful that they provide a local cell phone to contact the office with. They said they were happy to be called to book taxis or whatever but we didn't use them for that. A very beautiful stay.
Everything was perfect! I thank Vesna and her husband as well as all the Hedera Team. Dubrovnik is a wonderful city and I enjoyed every bit of it!
That was wonderfully beautiful, fairly and correctly. I will use services of Wimdu again and gladly recommend it to my friends and edging
Das war wunderbar schön, fair und korrekt. Ich werde Service von Wimdu wieder nutzen und gern meinen Bekanten und Freunden empfehlen
If you have the hotel then found me, you are pleasantly surprised about the small apartment. Very clean and well furnished, we felt very comfortable.
Wenn man die Unterkunft dann mal gefunden hat, ist man ueber die kleine Wohnung positiv ueberrascht. Sehr sauber und gut eingerichtet, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefuehlt.
For a long time I and my boyfriend wanted to bring us in Croatia, we have chosen Dubrovnik and purchased airline tickets, just needed more accommodation in which to spend our holidays, so we relied on Wimdu, and thanks to this site we found accommodation suits us: "Cozy and Nice Hedera Studio 6". This newly renovated studio has been able to meet our every need, in fact, is located next to the supermarket, it is not far from the beaches reachable through a beautiful boulevard full of bars, the bus stop is very close and within minutes you can reach the beautiful Old Town. We were greeted with kindness, and the girl from the agency provided us tickets for visiting the islands Elafiti. We recommend this apartment, for comfort and for the peace and quiet to ensure a good night's sleep !!
Da molto tempo io e il mio ragazzo desideravamo recarci in Croazia, abbiamo scelto Dubrovnik e acquistato i biglietti aerei, mancava solo più l'alloggio in cui trascorrere le nostre vacanze, così, ci siamo affidati a Wimdu, e grazie a questo sito abbiamo trovato la sistemazione adatta a noi: "Accogliente e Nizza Hedera Studio 6". Questo monolocale recentemente restaurato ha saputo soddisfare ogni nostra esigenza, infatti, è situato accanto al supermercato, è poco distante dalle spiagge raggiungibili attraverso un bel viale ricco di locali, la fermata dell'autobus è molto vicina e in pochi minuti è possibile raggiungere la bellissima Old Town. Siamo stati accolti con gentilezza, e la ragazza dell'agenzia ci ha fornito i biglietti per la visita delle isole Elafiti. Consigliamo quest'appartamento, per la comodità e per il silenzio e la quiete che vi garantiranno un ottimo riposo!!
Very nice apartment on the ground floor and on the back of a small building. Reserved parking for the car in front of it. Entrance area very nicely done, and invites you to sit outdoors. Maintained interior and clean. With great pleasure again. Realtor on site was very nice and personable!
Sehr schönes Appartement im Erdgeschoß und auf der Rückseite eines kleinen Wohnhauses. Eigener Stellplatz für das Auto direkt davor. Eingangsbereich sehr schön gemacht, und lädt zum draußen sitzen ein. Innen gepflegt und sauber. Sehr gerne wieder. Maklerin vor Ort war sehr nett und sympathisch!
We spent a great week in Dubrovnik and we recommend that all people traveling in pairs to choose this apartment in the hills of Lapad.
Focusing Lapad for a living environment but not overcrowded as is the old town.
Magnificent view from the balcony (ideal for breakfast or romantic dinner!)
Furnished, equipped, comfortable.
Ability to request a shuttle to and from the airport - the person who will take care of you will give you lots of useful and practical advice + can book with her excursions on the islands (not to be missed).
The first beach is 5 minutes walk: choose "mini-splits" long pier for more quiet and privacy.
A multitude of restaurants and bars also 5 minutes walk: we recommend the restaurant "Levenat" for its quality, its affordability, its service and its idyllic location ...
Nearby in the new apartments "lapadski dvori".
Bus stop nearby to reach the old town in 10 minutes.
Namely: the apartment being in height, you'll have to use a staircase of over 160 steps each time you leave the apartment (on the way down, so to climb back) - a condition physical minimum is required to enjoy the environment ... ideal for people who wish to stay in shape without starving!
To summarize: do not hesitate for a second, go on this apartment.
Nous avons passé une excellent semaine à Dubrovnik et nous recommandons à toutes les personnes voyageant en couple de choisir cet appartement sur les hauteurs de Lapad.
Privilégier Lapad pour un environnement vivant mais pas surpeuplé comme l'est la vieille ville.
Vue magnifique depuis le balcon (idéal pour un petit déjeuner ou repas en amoureux !)
Meublé, équipé, tout confort.
Possibilité de demander une navette depuis et pour l'aéroport - la personne qui vous prendra en charge vous donnera pleins de conseils très utiles et pratiques + possibilité de réserver auprès d'elle des excursions sur les iles (à faire absolument) .
La première plage est à 5 minutes de marche : privilégier les "mini-criques" sur le long de la jetée pour plus de calme et d'intimité.
Une multitude de restaurants et bars également à 5 minutes de marche : nous recommandons le restaurant "Levenat" pour sa qualité, son prix abordable, son service, et sa situation géographique idyllique...
Commerce à proximité dans les nouveaux appartements "lapadski dvori".
Arrêt de bus à proximité pour rejoindre la vieille ville en 10 minutes.
A savoir : l'appartement étant en hauteur, il vous faudra obligatoirement passer par un escalier de plus de 160 marches à chaque fois que vous quitterez l'appartement (à descendre à l'aller, et donc à monter au retour) - une condition physique minimum est requise pour apprécier l'environnement... idéal pour les personnes qui souhaitent garder la ligne sans se priver !
Pour résumer : n'hésitez pas une seconde, foncez sur cet appartement.
The room is very well furnished and fulfills all requirements of a Urlaubsunterkunft.Günstige location and a good overview of the city have a abgenehme Urlausng arise. Too bad the owner at the arrival and departure was not available, although we have tried in good time to inform him of our wishes. The keys worked casually as a cleaner at our arrival was present.
Das Zimmer ist sehr gut eingerichtet und erfüllt alle Anforderungen an eine Urlaubsunterkunft.Günstige Lage und ein guter Überblick über die Stadt lassen eine abgenehme Urlausng aufkommen. Schade das der Vermieter bei An- und Abreise nicht verfügbar war, obwohl wir rechtzeitig versucht haben, ihn von unseren Wünschen zu informieren. Die Schlüsselübergabe klappte zufällig, da eine Reinigungskraft bei unserer Anreise anwesend war.

After almost three years of being out from behind a pulpit, this weekend I get to share with my home community here in Portland: Theophilus Church. We are nearing the end of our journey though the book of Hosea together and AJ has asked me to keep us moving forward by sharing out of Hosea 13. If you've not read that chapter recently (or ever) you should take a minute to do that.
Man, this chapter seems like a really Debbie Downer of a passage, right? Check out this imagery:
[T]hey will be like the morning mist,
like the early dew that disappears,
like chaff swirling from a threshing floor,
like smoke escaping through a window.
. . .
I will come upon them like a lion,
like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
Like a bear robbed of her cubs,
I will attack them and rip them open.
Like a lion I will devour them: a wild animal will tear them apart.
You are destroyed, O Israel,
because you are against me,
against your helper.
. . .
Pains as of a woman in childbirth will come to him,
. . .
They will fall by the sword;
their little ones will be dashed to the ground,
their pregnant women ripped open.
Hosea 13:3, 7-9, 13a, 16b
This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God, right?
So, where am I going to go with this passage? Well, if you're in the Portland area on the evening of Sunday February 24, you should come find out. I'll give you the working title for the message is the same as the title of this post, so maybe that will give you a clue as to what I'm thinking: "Cafeteria Spirituality, A Wild Lion, & the Death of Death."
What would you draw out of this chapter? Or, even better, what would you want to hear talked about from this chapter?

Welcome to the forum!
All members are encouraged to be familiar with the Forum Guidelines , so please take a few minutes to review them if you have not done so already.
I think that your best bet would be to call either the state police or the PD that issued your LTC to find out the answers to both those questions. Seeking legal advice on an internet forum can lead to all kids of problems. No matter how well intentioned the advice may be, the answer could be wrong and you potentially could get yourself into hot water when a 5 minute phone call to the proper people would have gotten you all the correct answers you needed.

I want to load models in a format that supports skeletal animations into opengl.
The formats that I problably want to load are: dae (collada) or iqm/ iqe.
I already checked md5 but at the moment I don't care to much about it.
My problems are:
1. I don't want to use libraries like assimp, collada dom, fcollada or opencollada. So were do I find good examples I knew a site called wazim or similar, but I can't find it anymore
2. I don't know how to parse binary files like iqm/ iqe, are they just zeros and ones?
Thank you.

By Ian Moyse, EMEA Channel Director
With Christmas fast approaching, (lest we forget the shops have kindly put all the Christmas goods out in September and early October again!) we can expect online attacks to increase as per their normal schedules, ramping up through the end of the year.
With apologies to Sir Winston Churchill, never in the field of Internet conflict was so much harm done to so many by so few.
For all the benefits the Internet provides our lives, no single technology has given so few criminals the ability to cheaply and easily target the many. We've seen the rise of the dark economy, where far flung cybercriminals trade skills and produce burglary tools for sale, and we live with the consequences every day. Sophisticated attacks target both our computers and our users, through social engineering.
While the increases in cybercrime incidents seem to indicate a greater number of attackers, the reality is that the growth of the Internet itself gives rise to the ever-increasing volume of botnets, keyloggers and spam. The Internet makes us all contactable and, to a degree, easily identifiable. As we surf the Web, we leave traces of our presence in the form of electronic footprints — cookies, blog postings, and of course, our activities on social networks and other online forums.
And yet, no matter what we do to stem the tide, the problems only seem to increase in size and scope.
You can tune in and listen live to more of Ian Moyse's predictions for next year's most serious threats in his free Webinar, ThreatNet 2011, Thursday, November 4, at 10am Eastern.
As our operating systems become increasingly hardened to direct attack, the humans behind the keyboard remain as susceptible as ever to social engineering scams. Fake Web pages phish our passwords, all the while taking on the appearance of the genuine article. Keyloggers such as Zbot steal the passwords not only for our bank accounts, but for the FTP servers that control what information can be posted to our own Web sites, and those FTP passwords become a commodity criminals trade and use to host malicious pages and files on innocent users' servers. As it becomes more and more difficult to distinguish fake sites from real ones, we struggle mightily to train colleagues, family, and friends not to post too much information about themselves online, lest they themselves find their identities stolen.
The growth of the Web, and the wider availability of inexpensive computers, also has lead to a greater percentage of unsecured computers and more sophisticated and empowered hackers probing the Internet. With the Web entrenched in our daily lives and social networking sites growing faster than ever, the ability for someone to connect to vast volumes of people is upon us. With this great access comes greater threats. An incident nowadays can affect anything from a single computer, to a range of host computers at hundreds of thousands of locations, in a relatively short space of time.
In moving from centralised computing to a more distributed model, the business world has enabled the attacker to follow suit – to disperse and grow their attacks to volumes never envisaged before and to allow one individual to reach out to millions with scams, spyware and exploits. Never before in history has one individual with a lack of resource or funds been so empowered to use knowledge to the detriment of so many so quickly. We now see organized crime bringing together teams of these "expert" attackers, giving them resources to do damage far in excess of what a lone backroom spammer could accomplish.
The question is, how long before we see a repeat of the growth of volume in spam applied to far more malicious attacks? In 2007 there was a 400% year over year growth in the volume of spam. Now we see the growth of malware, phishing, and backscatter as well as spam, and the growth takes mere weeks or months instead of years. Is there a new type of scaled attack coming? Is there a larger spambot network already laying dormant, waiting for its cue to kick into action? No one can predict, but we can be sure that the financial benefits of cyberattacks give criminals no motivation to stop trying.

Film & Discussion: Children of Jaguar
Children of the Jaguar is a campaign documentary about the struggle of the Sarayaku indigenous community of Ecuador in order to defend their human rights and the right of many other communities across the Americas. A few years ago, the government authorised an oil company to enter Sarayaku's land and drill for oil. Neither the government nor the company consulted with Sarayaku whether the project was in line with their traditions and way of life. Since then, Sarayaku has been campaigning for justice and redress, including the removal of 1.4 tons of explosives which are still buried on their ancestral land. They are also defending their right to be consulted regarding further development projects which may affect them in the future.
Having exhausted all judicial avenues at home, the Sarayaku have taken their case to the Costa Rica-based Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Children of the Jaguar follows the Sarayaku delegation as they make their way to the highest regional court in the Americas. If they win, the court's decision will benefit Sarayaku and many other Indigenous groups across the region. It will send a powerful message to all governments asking them to consult with Indigenous communities and request their consent before carrying out development projects that may affect their lives.
Amnesty International is supporting Sarayaku's campaign to defend their rights and the rights of Indigenous peoples across the Americas.

I've received an announcement from Jean-Michel Philippe and I gladly publish it:
The whole team is very glad to inform you that DoudouLinux 2.0 Hyperborea is now officially out .
After 2 years of development, this new major version is providing many great new features with fully redesigned advanced activities, new graphics, new applications, a new installer, etc. Available in 43 languages, this release is nearly occurring 3 years after the birth of our project in 2010, which shows the interest our project has gained all around the world.
As usual you can give it a try from:
But DoudouLinux is not just a CD/DVD of educative stuffs for children.
DoudouLinux is now a vast project on its own. We have published with version 2.0 a manifesto that defines the philosophy and the ethics of our project: we want our children be able to fully master the digital world they are going to live in, instead of undergoing it.
As a result we now feel very concerned about user privacy, especially when it comes to children.
Let's see some detail of this nice project

Jenkins City Council maintains price for ball field advertisements
The Jenkins City Council on Monday, Feb. 11, talked about costs associated with the ballfield next to city hall.
City Clerk Krista Okerman said that in 2011 and 2012, the baseball field in Jenkins cost approximately $5,000 to $6,000 per year to maintain. The only source of income the field generates is from three-year contracts for advertising on banners.
Okerman spoke to Dallman Signs about the price of the banners. She received a quote that banner prices would remain at $167.79, the same price as in 2012. Another company quoted a price of $240 per banner.
It was determined that some banners at the ballfield could be reused so more money could go toward maintenance. The cost to advertise in the ballfield is actually $399 per year — $167.79 of that goes toward buying the banner and the remaining $231.21 is used to offset maintenance costs for the field.
Reusing banners would mean that additional $167.79 would also go toward the cost of the field.
Public Works representative Roger Olmscheid said he had spoken to Jackie Cogan of Pequot Lakes youth athletics and was told that group might be willing to pay a small fee to use the field.
Other sources of reimbursement for the ballfield were considered. The council agreed that the price for banners should remain the same, and council member Gary Hart will be in charge of evaluating the condition of signs.
Also Monday, the council created a policy governing the replacement of mailboxes damaged by snow removal. A limit of the reimbursement cost was set at $25.

Grierson Admits Another OCR Investigation - Denies Fault
Original post made by PA Dad, Duveneck/St. Francis, on Apr 15, 2013
After the two recent federal findings of fault on the part of PAUSD, and the admission by our Superintendent that he hid the results from the Board, it is unlikely that the United States Department of Education chose to investigate Duveneck Elementary just to address "...a national rally cry on the issue of bullying."
Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on you. Thrice?
At least Principal Grierson has invited everyone to come hear him tell his tale:
"Also, please feel free to join us at the next Principal's Coffee on Wednesday, April 17 at 8:00 AM, and our Social Emotional Learning Committee Meeting April 29 at 2:45 PM, where we will discuss a broad range of topics on student and campus safety.
Respectfully yours,
Chris Grierson
Duveneck Principal"
As so many public officials fail to learn, it isn't the crime -- it is the cover-up that gets them in the end.
I look forward to thoughtful comments by some and angered screeds from others. Perhaps parents and victims in the Duveneck community will come forward as well.

What on earth is going on with Kevin Skelly? How could he have let it come to this a third time?! And how could this district have possibly have thought that the thing to do is to send out a denial? Really? Blame it on zeitgeist? How about blaming it on your compliance officer who doesn't not seem to have a clue what "compliance" means. PAUSD needs to clean house. No PR officer can fix what ails this district. Did the board know? If so why didn't the board inform the public at the last meeting ? Does anyone even have any energy left to be angry? My kids need to be protected from an environment where disabled kids are bullied. What is happening in this town?

The federal government investigates complaints, not "rallying cries". So far the school district has chosen denial and delay in response to these issues. Sometimes that works, but usually it just makes matters worse. The school board seems unable to act decisively. It's clear that we probably have a systemic problem. Can the district leadership navigate through this without fundamental changes?

After the info about the first OCR investigation became public, many called for an objective investigation/external audit checking the systemic issues enabling all that went wrong. All that went wrong - including the fact that the info became available only because the family provided the info to the Weekly. Seems that such investigation is not on the agenda anymore. I started a thread a while ago- Web Link Seems to me that such objective investigation is crucial, regardless of the results of latest OCR investigation mentioned above.

Yes, an outside impartial review of our school district's management around these issues is essential. We now know that three schools have been investigated by the Office for Civil Rights. Are there more that we will hear about in the future? How can it be that a community with our resources, both financial and intellectual, is being run by a group of people that cannot even manage to comply with federal standards regarding the protection of a student's civil rights?
It is a travesty that this is happening in Palo Alto. Nothing that the district's soon to be employed "Communications Officer" can say will rectify this situation.
Perhaps now the School Board will do the right thing and put together a group of impartial community members to look into the district's problems with compliance. I believe that Sandra Pearson, former Principal of Paly, would be an excellent choice to be on this investigative body.

Eileen: Couldn't agree with you more. The investigation's time has come. We can't afford to not know what is causing all of this trouble.
I am not surprised that this occurred at Duveneck though as my own child was bullied right out of that school. We never looked back and were delighted with the social/emotional atmosphere at Ohlone. I was appalled with the competitiveness at Duveneck. I feel that competition is bred into the children by their overzealous parents. I also feel that some of those parents are bullies themselves.
What has happened to my once more civilized school district? This community is not what it used to be.....and now we have to worry about the "rape culture" at Paly. When will this all stop? We need a complete overhaul and it can't come soon enough. It should start with removal of Skelly and his right hand man (on administrative leave) until we figure out what went wrong. Skelly cannot be allowed to lie to us any longer.

@editor - curious to understand why this thread was made available only to those logged in, while a parallel later thread, dealing with this issue which was posted by the editor is open?

Posting here for a couple of reasons. The other thread has become too long and second, most of the comments there miss a key point.
This is not an issue of bullying, this is an issue of violations of State and Federal law. And the law is clear that two individuals are personally responsible for compliance. The Superintendent and the Principal. Kevin Skelly AND Chris Grierson.
So while bullying, mismanagement of funds, weak oversight, conflicts of interest, violations of privacy, and some truly awful other district employees are bad, the United States Department of Education has concluded that sufficient cause exists to investigate actions taken under our policy of site control by Principal Grierson and others.
Note that Skelly said he had no further information, but that Grierson took the time to issue essentially a press release to admit the Federal government was investigating HIS school and to deny blame.
So while many fish may be rotting in PAUSD, and while Chris Grierson may be a fine and upstanding young man, the fact remains that HIS SCHOOL is the target of a Federal investigation. Not of bullying, but of violating Federal laws, regulations and codes.
Site control and the California Education Code are clear about who is responsible for the safety of our children. Not Charles Young, but Kevin Skelly and Chris Grierson.

@PA Dad
I agree with your comments. I think it is extremely important to focus on the fact that this is not about bullying it IS about a violation of state and federal law. It IS about a failure to protect the civil rights of our communities children.
The reason Charles Young is at fault in this mess is because he is the "Compliance Officer" for the school district. His job is to make sure that the schools comply with the state and federal law. He is the district officer who should have been involved with the individual schools - ensuring that they were following the law.
I urge you to come to the next school board meeting, this Tuesday, April 23rd at 6:30, and address the school board directly. Take your 3 minutes during the open forum section on the agenda and tell them that you want an investigation into this mess that will finally reveal to the community how the district got to the point that it failed to comply with the Office of Civil Rights. If more people would actually come to the school board meeting and speak their minds on this issue the school board would have to act. Or, look even worse than the do now.

[Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] Don't speculate. Bullying is not easy to curb. Physical bullying, yes, a child was kicked out of school. Emotional bullying, NO. How do you stop children from spewing out mean words? How do you stop a child with a bad attitude from rolling their eyes or looking a person up and down?
We are at Duveneck, on our 8th year there. We have had issues with bullying and have spoken to teachers and administration and the issues were resolved.
[Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] Parents will complain about anything. Palo Altans complain too much. We are not an inner city school. Our children are safe at Duveneck.

[Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] We're not an "inner city town" and you just bullied the family that filed the complaint. People in the "inner city" (and I guess that is some kind of codeword for race) don't have the kind of bullying issues we see in high income places like Palo Alto and Saratoga. Bullying, as distinguished from other kinds of lack of safety, is not necessarily tied to income. We don't have gangs and guns. But we do have suicide, drugs, rape, and bullying. Palo Alto, you are not special. Frankly I'd take an "inner city" community over this snobby, self-satisfied town any day.

[Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] A public School of Nirvana does not exist! "Suicide, drugs, rape, and bullying" is at every public high school. People seem to forget that PAUSD is a public school and there are rules the administration has to follow. They can't just kick out a student without proper documentation. Take your child to a private school if you don't appreciate PAUSD.
I have four children and have witnessed some of these parents, and YES, some ARE crazy. They yell at administration, they threaten lawsuits, or their children provoke bullying and they fail to see it. If parents would approach administration in a professional manner, they will see results. AT WORST, go to the school and watch your kid all day. I did this and the bullying stopped after a few days. There is no rule against a parent visiting campus. It's called "volunteering."

@isez: r u serious? "If parents would approach administration in a professional manner they will see results" [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] If the administration would do things professionally we wouldn't be in this huge mess.
What makes you think that everybody can just pick up their kids and send them to a private school?
BTW, There is one public school in Palo Alto that I believe volunteers are not allowed in. That one is the, "homework in kindergarten" school. When I visited that school several years back, I was told that volunteers and parents in the classroom were looked at at as a disruption. In retrospect I believe that school is a feeder school into the more high-pressure secondary schools in our district. I can't afford to send my children to Private schools. That is why I am striving to help improve the public schools that we do have in our district.
I will no longer sit back and watch our students suffer. Your attitude of resignation is truly stunning!
I have been a mere spectator for far too long. I will be at the next board meeting in the public forum letting people know how I feel about all the missteps that are happening in our district. Our kids deserve way better!

Principal Grierson has shown himself to be an especially kind, thoughtful administrator every single time I've interacted with him. Given that these are for now accusations and not something more, he has my full support, and presumption of innocence until proven otherwise.
To those condemning him before the process plays itself out, you're... bullying.

@Spectator at large: re your statement, "What makes you think that everybody can just pick up their kids and send them to a private school?" Because Palo Alto houses are worth $1 million plus. Why do people think they are entitled to live in Palo Alto if they cannot afford it? Why live here if one is scraping to pay the mortgage or rent each month with no leftover "fun" money or money to save? How is this any different than being poor? Is this good for children if they cannot engage in extracurriculars or learning experiences due to finances? There are plenty of towns which are less expensive. And I've met these people. Guess what? They are happy and live in larger houses than most Palo Altans. Why does everyone want so stubbornly to live in Palo Alto if they can barely afford it? Big egos chasing an unattainable dream.
Bullying will never completely end in any public schools due to parenting differences; those who think they can extinguish all bullying are the ones who believe racism will end too and MLK's dream will come true. And as long as there is one child who is bullied, there is a parent ready to attack the school district.
Our students are hardly "suffering".

Chris, I can appreciate what you are saying about Grierson and the fact that these are complaints not findings (as yet). However, you are not really addressing the fact that another poster called the complaining parent "crazy" repeatedly. Nor is it "bullying' to state that some parents have had their confidence in Chris Grierson perhaps shaken by the new complaint.
Calling people "bullies" for being upset about federal civil rights complaints does nto make sense to me, sorry. Even given the fact that these are only complaints that have not yet been proved or disproved, the fact that a situation got so out of hand that it resulted in a federal complaint is a concern for the parent community of PAUSD. The reason that this keeps happening is that the district and Duveneck have no lawful or appropriate policy for addressing complaints.
Further it takes no lawyer to tell you that given that the last complaint was valid in part due to the fact that PAUSD has no effective policy, and that it still has no effective policy, and did not have one during the timeframe of this complaint, that this complaint will likely be valid too at least as concerns that issue. Whether or not the rest of the facts will be proved remains to be seen but one thing we know for sure is that we had no policy governing complaints based on disability harassment at the time that the facts in this new complaint unfolded BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ONE TODAY.
I think therefore it would be best to refrain from calling people bullies for being concerned about what is happening at Duveneck, just as it would be best to refrain from passing judgment on Grierson. On Skelly and Young I think it is safe to pass judgment as we already have a record to judge.

Type 2 diabetes in children is a chronic condition that affects the way your child's body metabolizes sugar (glucose).
Type 2 diabetes is a disease more commonly associated with adults. In fact, it used to be called adult-onset diabetes. But type 2 diabetes in children is on the rise, fueled largely by the obesity epidemic.
There's plenty you can do to help manage or prevent type 2 diabetes in children. Encourage your child to eat healthy foods, get plenty of physical activity and maintain a healthy weight. If diet and exercise aren't enough to control type 2 diabetes in children, oral medication or insulin treatment may be needed.
Type 2 diabetes in children may develop gradually. Some children who have type 2 diabetes have no signs or symptoms. Others experience:
See your child's doctor if your child is at high risk of type 2 diabetes. To diagnose type 2 diabetes before it does serious damage, diabetes screening is recommended for all children and adolescents at high risk, even if they have no signs or symptoms of the condition. Your child may be at high risk if he or she:
Talk to your child's doctor if you're concerned about diabetes or if you notice any of the signs or symptoms of type 2 diabetes — increased thirst and urination, increased hunger, weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, slow-healing sores, or frequent infections.
Your child's family doctor or pediatrician will probably make the initial diagnosis of diabetes. However, you'll likely then be referred to a doctor who specializes in metabolic disorders in children (pediatric endocrinologist). Your child's health care team will also generally include a dietitian, a certified diabetes educator and a doctor who specializes in eye care (ophthalmologist). If your child's blood sugar levels are very high, your child's doctor may send your child to the hospital for treatment.
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared for any appointments you have with your child's health care team. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what you can expect from your child's doctor.
Your time with your child's doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For type 2 diabetes in children, some basic questions to ask your child's doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask additional questions that may come up during the appointment.
Your child's doctor is likely to ask a number of questions, such as:
If your child's blood sugar isn't well-controlled or if you're not sure about what to do in a certain situation, don't hesitate to contact your child's doctor or certified diabetes educator in between appointments for advice and guidance.
If your child's doctor suspects diabetes, he or she will recommend a screening test. The primary test used to diagnose diabetes in children is the:
If your child's random blood sugar test results don't suggest diabetes, but your doctor still suspects it, your doctor may do an:
Another test your doctor might use is a fasting blood sugar test. A blood sample will be taken after an overnight fast. A fasting blood sugar level less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal. A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes. If it's 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests, your child will be diagnosed with diabetes.
Your doctor may also perform an oral glucose tolerance test. For this test, your child fasts overnight, and the fasting blood sugar level is measured. Then, your child drinks a sugary liquid, and blood sugar levels are tested periodically for the next several hours. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours indicates diabetes. A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 to 11 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes.
If your child is diagnosed with diabetes, the doctor may do other tests to distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes — which often require different treatment strategies because in type 1 diabetes, the pancreas no longer makes insulin.
At first, your child may need frequent visits to various members of his or her health care team, such as the doctor and dietitian. Once your child's blood sugar is stabilized, he or she will regularly visit his or her doctor to ensure good diabetes management.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends A1C testing every three months to ensure blood sugar level goals are met. Your child's target A1C goal may vary depending on his or her age and various other factors. Ask your doctor what your child's A1C target is.
The American Diabetes Association has introduced a formula that translates the A1C into what's known as an estimated average glucose (eAG). The eAG more closely correlates with daily blood sugar readings. An A1C of 7 percent translates to an eAG of 154 mg/dL (8.6 mmol/L).
Compared with repeated daily blood sugar tests, A1C testing better indicates how well your child's diabetes treatment plan is working. An elevated A1C level may signal the need for a change in your child's insulin regimen or meal plan.
In addition to the A1C test, the doctor will also periodically check your child's cholesterol levels, thyroid function, liver function and kidney function using blood and urine samples. The doctor will also examine your child to assess his or her blood pressure and make sure he or she is growing properly. Regular eye exams also are important.
Treatment for type 2 diabetes is a lifelong commitment of blood sugar monitoring, healthy eating, regular exercise and, sometimes, insulin or other medications — even for kids. And as your child grows and changes, so will his or her diabetes treatment plan.
If managing your child's diabetes seems overwhelming, take it one day at a time. And remember that you're not in it alone. You'll work closely with your child's diabetes treatment team — doctor, certified diabetes educator and dietitian — to keep your child's blood sugar level as close to normal as possible.
Depending on what type of medication (if any) your child needs, you may need to check and record your child's blood sugar at least daily, possibly more often. This usually requires finger sticks, though some blood glucose meters allow for testing at other sites. Children who need insulin therapy will need to check their blood sugar levels at least three times a day. Ask your doctor how often your child needs to test his or her blood sugar.
Testing is the only way to make sure that your child's blood sugar level remains within his or her target range — which may change as your child grows and changes. Your child's doctor will let you know what your child's blood sugar target range is. The doctor may ask you to keep a log of your child's blood glucose readings, or he or she may download that information from your blood glucose meter.
Even if your child eats on a rigid schedule, the amount of sugar in his or her blood can change unpredictably. With help from your child's diabetes treatment team, you'll learn how your child's blood sugar level changes in response to:
Contrary to popular perception, there's no diabetes diet. Your child won't be restricted to a lifetime of boring, bland foods. Instead, your child will need plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains — foods that are high in nutrition and low in fat and calories. A healthy diet also limits sodas, juices, sweets and has fewer foods containing animal fats. This type of diet is generally the best eating plan for the entire family. Even sugary foods are OK once in a while, as long as they're included in your child's meal plan.
Yet understanding what and how much to feed your child can be a challenge. A registered dietitian can help you create a meal plan that fits your child's health goals, food preferences and lifestyle. If your child is overweight or obese, gradual weight reduction will be a goal.
Everyone needs regular aerobic exercise, and children who have type 2 diabetes are no exception. The AAP recommends children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes get at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity daily and limit nonacademic-related time in front of televisions, computers and handheld devices to less than two hours a day.
Sign up for a sports team or dance lessons. Better yet, get in the act together. Play catch in the backyard. Take a walk or run through your neighborhood. Visit an indoor climbing wall or local pool. Make physical activity part of your child's daily routine.
Physical activity lowers blood sugar. If your child needs insulin treatment, check your child's blood sugar level before any activity. He or she might need a snack before exercising to help prevent low blood sugar.
A healthy diet and exercise are key parts of controlling blood sugar in children who have type 2 diabetes, but oral medication and, sometimes, insulin treatment also play an important role.
Medication. The AAP recommends metformin (Fortamet, Glucophage, Glumetza) for all children who have type 2 diabetes. Metformin reduces the amount of sugar a child's liver releases into the bloodstream between meals.
Side effects may include nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea and headaches. Metformin isn't safe for anyone who has liver failure, kidney failure or heart failure, since in patients with these conditions a harmful buildup of lactic acid (lactic acidosis) can occur if metformin is used.
Insulin.The AAP also recommends insulin therapy if your child:
Because stomach enzymes interfere with insulin taken by mouth, oral insulin isn't an option for lowering blood sugar. Therefore, if insulin is necessary, it has to be delivered under the skin. Insulin delivery options include:
Insulin pump. An insulin pump also may be an option for some children. The pump is a device about the size of a cellphone worn on the outside of the body. A tube connects the reservoir of insulin to a catheter that's inserted under the skin of the abdomen.
A wireless pump that uses small pods filled with insulin is another option that's now available. The pump is programmed to dispense specific amounts of insulin automatically. It can be adjusted to deliver more or less insulin depending on meals, activity level and blood sugar level.
Many types of insulin are available, including rapid-acting insulin, long-acting insulin and intermediate options. The decision about which treatment is best depends on the child, his or her blood sugar level, and the presence of any other health problems. Initially, children whose blood sugar is above 250 mg/dL(13.9 mmol/L) or who have an A1C above 9 percent will likely be started on insulin therapy to stabilize the blood sugar. Once blood sugar levels are normalized, your child may be weaned off insulin and placed on metformin alone.
However, if blood sugar isn't well-controlled with metformin and lifestyle changes, insulin will have to be given again. A long-acting insulin, such as insulin glargine (Lantus), is often used for type 2 diabetes in children.
Short-term complications of type 2 diabetes require immediate care, including:
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). If your child's blood sugar level drops below the normal range, it's known as low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your child's blood sugar level can drop for many reasons, including skipping a meal, getting more physical activity than normal or accidentally injecting too much insulin.
Watch for:
If your child has signs or symptoms of low blood sugar, give him or her fruit juice, glucose tablets, hard candy, regular (not diet) soda or another source of sugar equivalent to 15 grams of carbohydrate, and then recheck the blood sugar levels in 15 minutes. If the blood sugar reading is still low, give your child another fast-acting source of sugar, and retest again in 15 minutes.
Once the blood sugar reaches a normal level, give your child a mixed food snack, such as peanut butter and crackers, to stabilize the blood sugar levels.
If your child loses consciousness, he or she may need an emergency injection of glucagon — a hormone that stimulates the release of sugar into the blood. This is a medical emergency.
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Likewise, your child's blood sugar can rise for many reasons, including eating too much, not taking enough insulin or illness.
Watch for:
If you suspect hyperglycemia, check your child's blood sugar. You might need to adjust your child's meal plan or medications. If your child's blood sugar is persistently above the target range set by your child's doctor, call your child's doctor right away or seek emergency care.
Increased ketones in your child's urine (diabetic ketoacidosis). If your child's cells are starved for energy, your child's body may begin to break down fat — producing potentially toxic acids known as ketones. Although this condition is more common in children with type 1 diabetes, it can occur in children with type 2 diabetes.
Watch for:
If you suspect ketoacidosis, check your child's urine for excess ketones with an over-the-counter ketones test kit. If your child has excess ketones in his or her urine, call your child's doctor right away or seek emergency care.
Numerous substances have been shown in some studies to improve insulin sensitivity, yet other studies have failed to find any benefit for blood sugar control or in lowering A1C levels. Because of the conflicting findings, no alternative therapies are currently recommended for diabetes control.
If you'd like to try an alternative therapy for your child, discuss this with a doctor who is familiar with these alternative treatments. It's important to check with your child's doctor first to be sure that whatever treatment you'd like to try won't be harmful or cause an adverse reaction with other medications your child may be taking.
It's also important not to stop giving your child any prescribed medications, especially insulin, without first consulting your child's doctor.
Type 2 diabetes is a serious disease. Helping your child follow his or her diabetes treatment plan takes round-the-clock commitment. But your efforts are worthwhile. Careful management of type 2 diabetes can reduce your child's risk of serious — even life-threatening — complications.
Talking to a counselor or therapist may help your child or you cope with the lifestyle changes that come with a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Your child may find encouragement and understanding in a type 2 diabetes support group for children.
Support groups for parents also are available. Although support groups aren't for everyone, they can be good sources of information. Group members often know about the latest treatments and tend to share their own experiences, or helpful information, such as where to find carbohydrate counts for your child's favorite takeout restaurant. If you're interested, your doctor may be able to recommend a group in your area.
Or you can visit the American Diabetes Association website to check out local activities for people with type 2 diabetes. The American Diabetes Association also offers diabetes camp programs, online information, and an online forum for children and teens with diabetes.
As your child gets older, encourage him or her to take an increasingly active role in diabetes management. Teach your child how to test his or her blood sugar and, if needed, inject insulin. Stress the importance of lifelong diabetes care, which is particularly important for teens to understand, as they may rebel against their diabetes care regimen. Foster a relationship between your child and his or her diabetes treatment team. Make sure your child wears a medical ID tag.
Above all, stay positive. The habits you teach your child today will help him or her enjoy an active and healthy life with type 2 diabetes.

There is no doubt about it - growing and picking your own flowers is a total joy. Wandering around the garden with secateurs in hand, gathering blooms for a bouquet or posy, is a satisfying experience.
The trick to success is, as always in gardening, preparation. Remember to feed the soil so it can reward you with stunning floral displays.
Other factors to ensure a blooming success are: choosing flower varieties that suit your garden, climate and the amount of time you have available.
1. Sweet peas. Easy to grow, all these flowers need is a sunny spot and something to climb up and hold on to. A fence, trellis or a tall host plant such as topiary are all options. The trick to success is to keep picking them, as this encourages more flowers.
2. Snapdragon. Tall, elegant and easy to grow, these will last in a vase for a week or more.
3. Peruvian lily (Alstroemeria). Plant in spring or summer to pick throughout summer and autumn. These will keep well for weeks in a vase.
4. Marguerite daisies. Masses of daisies cover the plants from early spring until winter, and dwarf varieties are perfect for pots and patio planting.
5. Dahlias. Plant in late spring/early summer for autumn picking. Lift and divide the clumps each winter to get more free plants.
6. Stock. A good, old-fashioned fragrant favourite to plant all year round. These hardy perfumed stalwarts are a must-have for the flora-ista's garden.
7. Bulbs. Gladiolus, lilies and crocus can all be planted now for autumn flowering.
8. Roses. With so many to choose from, I suggest planting floribunda roses. These produce more flowers than the hybrid tea, formal-looking types. This means once you have picked a few stems there is still something left in the garden to enjoy as well.
9. Carnations and dianthus. These plants are closely related and put on a sterling show. Sizes and colours vary, and dianthus is ideal for pots and containers, too.
10. Hydrangeas. Large, frilly heads of flowers appear from mid-summer until the end of autumn. One or two heads are enough to fill a vase.
Location, location, location. Choose the right plant for the position. If you have a shady garden, choose shade-loving flowers like alstroemeria and hydrangeas. For bright, sunny spots choose daisies, dahlias, stocks or lilies.
Dig it - prepare the soil prior to planting by adding in Flower Power and Novatec fertiliser. These goodies serve as the backbone to a blooming garden.
Freshen up old container soil by adding in Novatec fertiliser and Debco Saturaid. Mix it in thoroughly before planting.
Water - keep the soil moist, not wet. Water deeply once or twice a week, rather than a little every day. Don't put your flowers to bed wet, as this can encourage disease and mildew problems.
Hunt down a copy of the Tui NZ Flower Garden. This book has more than 1000 photographs and pages of ideas.

Doesn't make the team.
He went to Michigan before mass. He a freak athletically but didn't get much playing time for various reasons.
Yah, NFL.com and CBS have hime listed at 6' and 6' 1'' so 6' 3'' is off afterall.
Plus why did we pass up Maysonet? He signed with the Eagles afterwords as an UDFA... great!
They're hoping he's the Cruz of RBs.
More like camp fodder for the #4 spot.
I don't always root for the Cowboys but when I do I wear my pink Jessica Simpson edition Romo jersey. (yes I lost a bet)
Well, its hard to say because he is a good runner and reportedly people liked what they saw at his pro day. Plus, when 28+ teams show up for 1 guys pro day, it usually suggests a guy has some interest around the league.
However, if I had to guess, I would say it was his hand size. He had the 2nd smallest hands at the combine. I have read that many teams will not even consider a back with small hands since it becomes a ball security issue.
As to Cox, it is very hard to even know much about him since I don't live near or watch that team on a regular basis and he has virtually no film available. This is 1 of those picks where you just have to think Reese knows something I don't about this kid. 1 thing I can say with certainty is I like how he carries the football. That ball doesn't leave his body at all in the few clips I have seen.

Cox was solid in that respect, that he could do what he did, with that kinda extra attention wk in and wk out..

I've been searching all over the web and can't find much published research regarding the time a worker bee spends in the field and returning to the hive. - percentage or ratio of a population in the field at a given time of day, etc. I'm sure there's got to be something out there that could be beneficial knowledge to the cutout artist- complete with fancy graphs and charts and everything that is nerdy and cool :cool:. Does anyone have any links they can direct me to. Even any hearsay knowledge or personal experience is welcome too.

text: Vehicle Info: 2007 NNBS Chevrolet Silverado Z71 w/ 4.8L Automatic Transmission Hey guys, I have no knowledge of AT and their inner workings. With that being said, last night I was driving and was stuck behind a row of slowly moving people. I saw an opening and depressed the gas pedal enough to downshift and engage OD but when I did, I felt a pretty solid clunk. I immediately let off the accelerator and pulled to the side of the road to inspect and ensure I had not blown anything. Upon inspection, nothing appeared out of place. I got back in the truck, started it back up and went to drive off. To get the truck rolling, I had to raise the RPM to above 2,000, as if my clutch was not engaging properly or something. I used my Superchips to return the transmission tune to stock thinking it may have been a faulty transfer, but to no avail. With what is said above, does anyone have any clues on what might be wrong? I am hoping to get the truck running by this weekend as my girl and I are supposed to be going camping before the temperatures drop much more and I would hate to have to cancel.

Discussion in 'BIKE TALK' started by icyuod2, Sep 7, 2010.
Hey whats the car or tuck in front of the bike in the last pic garagegoon? nice bikes btw!
All my work is done in the great outdoors also. I also use a homemade repair stand.
In my room that has too much bike stuff since I don't have a tool drawer, I also work in my little shed or out in the open.
Wished I had a garage and some of this stuff gone to be able to actually work in this shed.
My humble abode,I love it,after years of living in a garage apartement it rocks....
Nice looking shops posted here, but here's a taste of reality:
I'll post up a squared away version if I ever have time between projects
oh cool! Love the old work truck! 8)
@garagegoon your shop hardly looks big enough to fit a bike. I assume you have to stand on the covered porch while working on them :lol:
I sit indian style inside and polish one part at a time then assemble under covered porch....
Mine's hard to capture in a pic or two, since the room is kinda small and I can't get close enough to any wall to get a decent wide angle shot. So I'll have to do it in a few.
From the steps:
From the opposite end:
Front corner:
Let Do This!...Bikes!.... World Headquarters..... Also know as my basement :wink: :roll:
The Shop got very dirty and unorganized.
What it looked like in December....
What it looks like today.. still some organizing and cleaning to do but at least I have space to think :wink: now.
Thanks man!
Yep us Midwesterners have to deal with winter, But we do get to have our basement's :mrgreen:
I do love the Gulf sign, I got it 20 years ago cheap!
When my wife and I started dating it was in my living room, My whole apartment wasn't much bigger then the sign. :roll:
Get married sign goes in the work shop. :shock: :? :roll: :wink: :lol:
I had a really, really nice basement, but then my two teenage sons discovered it.
My basement is only under the front half of the house, since the original crawlspace is only inside the original foundation. Over the past 150 years, though, the house has been added on to multiple times, and none of the additions included added basement. Since it originally only had a crawl space, it never had a proper interior entrance or stairs. There's a trap door in the floor of one of the closets (so I can't easily carry a bike down there that way). There is a set of exterior bilco doors though.
The crawlspace was dug down twice, resulting in my outside basement door being 8" above the floor and walls that are layed-up stone on top, with poured concrete on the bottom. But that makes the shelf that runs all the way around the room, which I was able to set my pegboard frame onto. It also proved to be a handy height to match with my work bench, so it effectively increases the bench space. But I loose about a quarter of the total space to the furnace and two hot water tanks. So, I've been working hard to try to use the space as efficiently as possible...
My little quiet place it's almost a two car garage a couple hundred feet away from the main house.. The wifey has graciously let me have as man land as she calls it.... I can make as much racket as I want out there and not disturb the fam with my music and grinding. :mrgreen:
This is where it all happens... in the driveway! :shock: The weather is nice in AZ. I spent the day today right where you are looking... high of 107 degrees. Oh, and what is this thing you call a "basement"? :?
HA! Its awesome to live and work in the great heat of our lovely city! But in Mesa my brother actually has a basement. lol
Before starting a refresher job on a customers Schwinn Panther I really needed to clean up my work bench. There was pretty much on clear space on my workbench to do anything.. Amazing how the projects stack up. Tried to keep the peg board wall dedicated to tools and move the cool parts elsewhere but a few remain.. After the Panther, I need to re-do my wheel storage situation and about 100 other projects!

STEP Centers for Biological Sciences, Engineering, and Geosciences Competition Opens
The America COMPETES Act calls for efforts to increase the number of students completing undergraduate courses in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), including the number of non-majors, and to improve student academic achievement in STEM courses. The Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Talent Expansion Program Centers (STEP Centers) provide an opportunity for the higher education community and other stakeholders to work toward these goals. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced a funding opportunity, identifying $6,000,000 to support STEP centers for biological sciences, engineering, and geosciences.
Community colleges are eligible to apply for these funds as long as they offer either associate degrees or baccalaureate degrees in STEM subjects. Projects are expected to include multiple academic institutions and may also involve business and industrial partners, professional societies, or other stakeholders. A single institution must submit the proposal and other partners may be sub-awardees. A letter of intent is due by August 4; a preliminary proposal is due by Sept.7; and the full proposal must be submitted by Jan. 20, 2011.
ED Releases Guidance on Using AEFLA Funds for IET Programs
The U.S. Department of Education released non-regulatory guidance last week to help states use funds provided under the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) to support integrated education and training (IET). The guidance describes how AEFLA instructional and state leadership funds, as well as funds available under Title I of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), may be used to support IET. States with questions should contact email@example.com.

If you put the notch down and slide the outer cover forward it will also work.
If you put the notch down and slide the outer cover forward it will also work.
I'm interested if anyone has tried a 30 frame horzonal hive to be used as an unlimited brood and food chamber. Will the queen lay her eggs all through out the 30 frames, or will she keep closer to the entrance. I'm planning on using a fowler bd to expand the chamber as is needed. Then put supers on top for honey using queen excluders. What do you think? Darrell
I have built a 44 frame horizontal hive, but have not put bees in that one yet. I will this spring. I do have a hive with a double wide box, of 22 frames of 4.9mm foundation with a queen in it. This is actually amost as many cells as 30 frames of 5.4mm cells. The bees were settling in when the queen was winding down on laying, so it's difficult to say for sure. However it appeared to me the bees were communicating quite well and the queen was not adverse to laying whereever she found room to do so, but the main nest was toward the front.
I will let you know how it all goes in the spring.
I have a question for you about unlimited brood management. Can I use smaller boxes such as medium supers or even shallow supers to put my brood in? I have just found out I can't lift any heavy weights any more and I don't want to quit my bee hobby.

Can I use smaller boxes such as medium supers or even shallow supers to put my brood in? I have just found out I can't lift any heavy weights any more and I don't want to quit my bee hobby.
Yes. You can use any size box you want. But it is best to pick one size so all frames are universal and can be manipulated between any box. Don't think in terms of boxes for unlimited broodnest. Think of what is going on in those boxes, the bees themselves and how how one can manage the queens to have more than enough room for brooding. The size of box really means nothing. The goal is to have max. room and more than enough winter stores. So with that said use any size box you want it is the principle of the management (being practiced) that counts not the equipment. Remember it is best to keep bees and not boxes.
I was also on the brink of quitting beekeeping because of all the lifting and instead designed a more horizontal system. Here's some pictures of what I built in case you are interested. It's not complicated and takes any standard size boxes you like. I use it with deep frames and top bars but any size box could be used. Since it is horizontal you never have to lift from any position except the one height you build the table to. You can use standard boxes of any depth and any nonstandard width such as the 8 frame boxes or 5 frame nuc boxes.
The other hive design (It's the last picture) is just a long trough hive that takes deep frames. You never have to lift a box, you just lift frames. Take a look. For more detail click on any of the pictures.
I have rasied bees on different depth boxes and if you want to raise them on shallow boxes that can be done. The queen may not lay such nice solid brood, but the bees don't care that much one way or the other. My problem is then you're stacking at least four of them for the brood chamber and searching the whole brood chamber still requires moving every box. Brushy Mountain has everything you could want for 8 frame medium depth hives. An 8 frame medium box is very light compared to 10 deep frames. You could use these in the traditional configuration or you could combine these with the long table design I use and never have to lift anything unless you're robbing supers and then it's only 8 frames of medium. I also build half width deep boxes for supers. These hold four deep frames. You can put two of them side by side on a standard 10 frame Lanstroth.
Thanks for your reply, I have a lot of medium supers but since I just started this last year I don't have any frames with comb in them. I can see if I am going to continue with this hobby I have a lot of work to do this year. I like your idea of the long hives and I might try something like that. The pictures were great!!
What are the pictures supposed to be? I didn't see any descriptions.

Idaho on the line for $15 million for school broadband
Idaho may be on the line for $15 million to fund a statewide school broadband network. The Idaho Education Network provides broadband access and remote video classes for schools throughout the state, but a dispute over the initial contract means legislators have to come up with millions to keep the program in place.
In Bonneville School District 93, students rely on the IEN every day. It is the primary provider for Wi-Fi access, and both Bonneville and Hillcrest High Schools use the video conference system.
"It concerned me a little bit that we are $14.5 million in arrears and it makes me wonder," said Frank Cassidy, a teacher at Bonneville High School. Cassidy currently has 55 students enrolled in his psychology class. He teaches from Bonneville, but he also has students at Hillcrest who tune in via the video system from the IEN.
"The IEN is proven, vital education infrastructure in the school. Tens of thousands of students around the state use it. It's the right thing to do to continue funding its operation without disruption," said Jon Hanien, press secretary for Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter.
The problem is the provider has not been paid in full since last March. Seventy-five percent of the bill was supposed to be picked up through the Universal Service Administrative Co., ultimately under the Federal Communications Commission. A lawsuit regarding the contract decision to go with CenturyLink over Syringa Networks has resurfaced.
"The FCC has been investigating whether the state of Idaho actually processed the award of this contract through the proper purchasing rules and regulations," said Rep. Jeff Thompson from District 30.
While the FCC investigates, it isn't providing its portion of the funding. That's $7 million owed since last spring. Now, Idaho needs to also front the cost for 2015-- totaling $14.5 million from this year's budget.
"That could be to take $15 million out of the Public Education Stabilization Fund that is scheduled to go into that account this year and bridge that IEN contract until the federal government sends those payments out," said Thompson.
The concern is whether Idaho actually will be reimbursed. Local News 8 asked the governor's office what would happen if the FCC determines the contract was not properly awarded. The answer was that the office could not speak on hypothetical situations or the lawsuit.
In Gov. Otter's original budget proposal for this year, $3.5 million was proposed for technology expansion.

VIDEO: Neil Young, "Old Man" (from Live at Massey Hall 1971)
Neil Young always knows what he's doing — especially when he doesn't. His professional association in 1968-'69 with a gang of weed-dealing LA sub-musicians called the Rockets was the despair of his better-educated contemporaries. Joni Mitchell shook her fair head. David Crosby blustered anathemas through his moustache. Young was an industry darling, a coming man, and these Rockets were hazy, street-corner dudes: when they picked up their instruments, they played like bums. As Crosby told Young biographer Jimmy McDonough, "I'd say to Neil, 'What the fuck are you doing playing with those jerks?!' He'd say, 'They're soulful.' I'd say, 'Man, so is my DOG, but I don't give him a set of drums!' "
But Young, his antennae swishing in the darkness, knew he was onto something. With Buffalo Springfield he had tasted hippie superstardom, but his debut as a solo artist, '69's Neil Young, had flopped. Some blamed the muffled mix, others the depresso-whimsical songwriting. Right now, at any rate, he was just one more verdigris minstrel with a high voice. What he needed above all was to break out, and somehow with this new crew, jamming up in Topanga Canyon or at the Whisky, it was happening. With them, accident and error took on the aspect of good luck. So he picked his three favorite Rockets — Billy Talbot on bass, Ralph Molina on drums, Danny Whitten on rhythm guitar — and formed a band, Crazy Horse. Two weeks later, they had cut a full album, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. Within four months of the release of Neil Young, it was in the stores and selling healthily.
Reprise Records has issued the first two installments of what will be a comprehensive program of releases from the Neil Young Archives: Live at the Fillmore East 1970 and Live at Massey Hall 1971. The latter disc features Young performing solo; the recording from the Fillmore is a showcase for the aboriginal Crazy Horse sound — the iambic plod of the Talbot/Molina rhythm section, heads down and mule-like in the groove . . . Whitten's rusty harmonizing and sardonic second-guitar work . . . and Young himself ringing and clanging around the beat with Old Black, the 1953 Gibson Les Paul that acquired (to his delight) a particular cantankerousness when fed through a 1959 Fender Deluxe amp.
Crazy Horse could sing. Back in the prehistory of the Rockets, they had close-harmonized in a doo-wop outfit called Danny and the Memories, and Whitten in particular had a rough diamond of an R&B voice. With Whitten for a vocal partner, Young would be forced to explore the harder edges of his own range — the croak, the snarl. But it's in his guitar playing that you can really hear the effect of the Crazy Horse experience on Neil Young: the solos he takes on Old Black in the 12-minute "Down by the River" and the 16-minute "Cowgirl in the Sand" seem to come crackling out of the marrow of the music. We are present here at the first stirrings of electric/epileptic Neil, the instrumental genius who would convert the misfires of his nervous system into arcs of pure invention. In "Down by the River," his style is monomaniacal: it fixates, it trundles in a circle, and then with squawks of feedback it heavily takes wing. Whitten was the dream second-guitarist for this sort of activity — always alert, now chopping the chord, now spreading it, and keeping a distance between his own sound and Young's that prefigured the mutual wariness of Television's Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd. Then there was the rumble of Billy Talbot's faltering, fat-fingered bass lines, and beneath it the almost-ironic underclank of Ralph Molina's drums.

YOU are the safety..... but i do understand your feelings with this because i felt exactly the same way . my experience with automatics was with berettas/taurus and cz/tz which had a safety and it was normal.... my colt and smiths and ruger and rossi revolvers did not, and that was normal and not unsafe.
then i got my sig p6 and WHOA... an auto, without a safety??? wtf were they thinking? then i sat down and tried to see why it didnt need one..... because of the double action trigger pull. its an automatic that acts like a revolver for the first shot.... so its just as safe as your .38
hope it helps you get past the manual safety issue and enjoy your good gun.

Will the documentary the last beekeeper be out on dvd soon? I would love to see it. Anyone have any info. my searches have been futile .
I found it as a torrent last year. Just took a look for it and did not see it. Maybe if you search some you can find the version I did.
Search our archives. There is access to all parts of it through Utube or something similar.

already searched the archives
Here ya go :
I still have it on my tivo.
Wish that was in better quality. Very hard to read the text.

Professional web developer/designer. If you need something done let me know.
I know that dvds have been sold. But I couldn't find it for sale on their website, last time I looked.
We have a group that have been viewing educational bee films monthly. I think "The Last Beekeeper" would be a good film to see. I have tried without success to get this as a DVD. I called the phone number that was listed and left a message for Mona Card to contact me with no success.
Any suggestions? Myron Denny
Has anyone had any success in locating this video? I cannot find it anywhere. Thanks.
What is really bizarre is you can't find this anywhere?? It's not on Netflix anymore, not for sale on Amazon or anywhere on the internet I can find.
Anyone have any updates on this? It'd make a great christmas gift for my aunt and uncle. Literally can't find it anywhere!
I do not know what happened to "The Last Beekeeper" film. Vanishing of the Bee's from Kelley's is a film that covers the subject. Our group watched it this summer. It left me with lots of unanswered questions but it does hint at the problems.
Does anyone know if this is available ? I saw it on iTunes for sale but I would like it on disc

Oooh, Maddie ... Not sure how I feel about the latest development - last week it was framed as her being an impassioned woman in power in an ethical quandry about her politics who decides the solution is to run for office... and the use of Alicia's inside info was collateral damage. But now she may have set up the whole thing from the beginning? For a show about a strong woman finding her way, TGW sure does love taking powerful women down a notch or twelve, I can only imagine how this will turn out. I was happy to see Amanda Peet again, but I confess that the first thing I thought when Alicia called Peter about giving her a job was that somewhere down the line this will end up being trouble David Lee!

Kidnapping suspect Brian Adkison still on the run two weeks after escaping from Caldwell County jail
Kidnapping victim's father speaks out
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Kidnapping and rape suspect Brian Adkison is still on the run two weeks after escaping from the Caldwell County Jail.
Police say Adkison kidnapped his ex-girlfriend, a University of Missouri medical student, assaulted her and dropped her off at University Hospital back in June.
He then led law enforcement on a five-day pursuit that ended in Morgan County June 21.
But two weeks ago, he escaped from the Caldwell County Jail.
Friday night Caldwell County law enforcement and the victim's family asked the public for help.
"We have to be diligent in watching over our shoulders all the time just as a precaution," he said, "you know to be aware."
Adkison is considered armed and dangerous by law enforcement.
The victim's family said they can't sleep because of their fear.
Boone County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jonathan Bertz said the accusations against Adkison are not to be taken lightly.
"Mr. Adkison is facing several very serious felony charges, not only in Boone County, but in Caldwell County and out toward the lake," Bertz said.
Missouri State Highway Patrol said Adkison has not been sighted since his escape.
All law enforcement agencies are working to figure out his location.
The victim's father urges everyone to share Adkison's photo on social media to keep his face in the public's eye.
Adkison is also facing charges in Boone, Clay, Morgan and Carol counties

Billy Mackenzie will contest the NZ Motocross Champs
Billy Mackenzie The New Zealand Motocross Championships will be a truly multinational affair this season with news of the impending arrival of Scottish ace Billy Mackenzie.
The 28-year-old from Edinburgh is the latest high-profile signing for the JCR Yamaha Racing Team, racing the MX1 class in New Zealand on an immaculately-prepared YZ450F.
He will have a tough taskmaster in his new boss, Josh Coppins, the former Grand Prix racer who swept his way to victory in the Australian Motocross Championships last season, before retiring from racing to become team manager.
Mackenzie is a former GP rider and multiple GP winner, becoming British Motocross Champion in 2007 and 2008, and representing Great Britain several times at the the Motocross of Nations.
"I have known Billy for a long time and he started with Yamaha back in his GP days, racing for Steve Dixon in Europe," said Coppins.
"He will ride all four rounds of the New Zealand Motocross Championships for us, hopefully winning the MX1 title here and then going on to race the Australian Motocross Championships later in the year."
Injury forced Mackenzie to the sidelines in the Australian Motocross Championships last season, but he has fully recovered and Coppins has faith in his new recruit.
"I know he will battle well against the likes of Tauranga's [defending New Zealand MX1 champion] Ben Townley (Carlton Dry Honda CRF450) and Mount Maunganui's Cody Cooper (Moto City Suzuki RM-Z450)."
Australian hot-shots Todd Waters and Kirk Gibbs, both riding for KTM Australia, will also add an international flavour to the series.
"Billy Mackenzie is one of the fastest starters in the world and can get out of the gate and simply check out. He is an awesome rider and hopefully he'll win a few races in New Zealand this year."
The four-round series kicks off near Timaru on February 10, with rounds to follow at Patetonga on February 24, Pukekohe on March 10 and Taupo on March 31.
Mackenzie will stay at the Yamaha Motor New Zealand training facility at Motueka for the first two rounds and then return to Australia, flying back to contest the second half of the series.
He is joined on the JCR Yamaha Racing Team by 28-year-old Queenstown rider Scotty Columb, racing a Yamaha YZ250F in the MX2 class this season.
Said Coppins, "With Billy in the team and Scotty riding as well as he is at the moment, it is an exciting time for me and for Yamaha. I believe we can win both New Zealand titles."
Mackenzie may have his work cut out to match Townley and Cooper, and Columb will be pressed to beat defending MX2 champion Darryll King (Yamaha), of Hamilton, and riders such as Waitakere's Ethan Martens (Yamaha), Mangakino's Kayne Lamont (KTM), Taupo's Cam Dillon (Honda), Mt Maunganui's Rhys Carter (Suzuki) and Tauranga's Peter Broxholme (Honda).
Whatever the outcome, it looks set to be an exciting national series.
