Albin, founder of the 501st, recently made a fantastic post about leadership in regard to the ongoing 501st elections that 1) truly shows why Albin is held in such high regard, but 2) also touches on a point about leadership that I hold as the MOST important aspect of leading; a leader is a servant. A leader serves their community; spends a great deal of time and energy seeking out needs in the community and finding ways to meet those needs. Serving does not always mean giving a community what it claims it wants, but having the wisdom and the foresight to recognize what it truly needs and providing that to them.
Why am I bothering to mention this? I am not a 501st member. I wont be voting in the elections. However, YOUR vote will affect not only members of the 501st, but due to the ever-expanding and overlapping nature of our communities, communities that I do serve. With that in mind, I would strongly recommend you consider the candidates carefully and choose who will best serve your community.
If I were voting, Id be voting for Kris Kuipers as your next LCO. Why? Because Kris IS the type of service-oriented leader that Albin described. You may be asking yourself how would you know? While I may not be a member, I do keep up with 501st goings on and do watch to see the directions it moves. While no one is perfect and I am well aware that some people got their feathers ruffled by his approach, Kris approach to leading your community not only matches Albins description of what your LCO should be, but Kris has a long-term goal and vision for the group that is unlike anything I have seen, but that I think is absolutely necessary for the club to not only survive, but to thrive. One has to keep in mind that the landscape of our hobby is continuing to change. More and more outside groups are springing up and flourishing and do we even need to talk about the Disney buyout of LFL and the changes that are continuing to slowly trickle out from that? Again, Kris has these things firmly in mind and his vision for the future of the club is an inclusive one, which is only going to continue to become more and more important.
The charter for the 501st places the future of the club in YOUR hands. YOU are responsible for choosing who will serve you. Think carefully on that as you go to vote and again, give Kris careful consideration as I truly believe that he is the leader best suited to take you through the next year.
Posted by Albin on Facebook:
Well it's that time of year again: elections.
I had a few treatises prepared for laying out my philosophy on how Garrisons should operate and some pointers for Garrison Commanders. I will probably post those soon. In the meantime, though, I think it worth a few minutes to post about the election process and leadership.
Leadership is a big word and if you ask a thousand people what it's all about you'll probably get a thousand different answers. Some will focus on integrity, some will highlight the need for intelligence, others will go with compassion, or proactive thinking or strength or wiles or delegation of authority or good planning skills. We could go on with decisiveness, diplomacy, enduring patience, ability to stay calm in chaos, people skills, and quick thinking. And so on and so on.
Other discussions of leadership look to the trappings of authority. Bookshelves are lined with biographies of leaders with heroic poses on the cover. The media likes to talk about leaders like they're celebrities, modern day royalty. We have images of leaders on horseback, leaders holding a sword, leaders going down with the ship, leaders damning the torpedoes, leaders making a brave stand. Our pantheon of heroes is full of hero figures.
But let's cut to the real center of this nugget. Leadership is about service, plain and simple. And any of the above descriptions are added onto that like toppings on a sundae. We can dress it up any way we want, but it's about SERVING those who elected you.
Service is a far less sexy ideal. It's about spending long hours doing the dirty work no one else wants to do, making hard decisions that make you stay up at night, tweaking the last little detail of some boring, mundane work-a-day process that keeps the lights on and the engine running so the membership can do their jobs.
It's like hosting a big party, but you never get much of a chance to join in because you're so busy keeping the party going so the gang can have fun. It's about refilling the chip bowl, running to the store for more beverages, switching out the music to keep the mood light, working on the lights so there's brilliant dazzling effects, talking to the loser in the corner who has no one else to talk to but you gotta do it yourself because he's there for the party too and ****** someone's gotta keep the train rolling. It's cleaning up the sick in the bathroom after one of your guests yacked, then driving him home yourself while the hotties at the party are exchanging digits, only to come back and find out you're on clean-up detail and there's no guarantee folks are going to stick around to help.
Leadership isn't about being a winner, or about titles or any b.s. about authority. Authority is what you EARN by giving everyone five seconds of your time to consider their needs, then giving them a fair shot by working it out to make it happen. If you can show people you put in the hours and try to make the Legion stronger and better, then by god they'll look at you like you ARE authority. Oh, I don't mean make everyone happy - no, no - that's never going to happen. You are going to disappoint some people, it's inevitable. But if you can put together policies that take an hour to think about and then 10,000 hours to make good on, then at least the people you disappoint can look back at your work and consider maybe (just maybe) you had a good reason for doing what you tried to do.
What's this all about? I see it every year. People stick up their hand and volunteer for a leadership position. To me, that's just saying "clean-up on aisle four? I got this!" but instead a lot of that finery I talked about in the beginning of the post is what they act like is important. People get mad at each other, snipe at each other, resent their friends for running against them. Should we really let real-world politics trick us into acting like that? Is there really that much at stake that tempers flare and egos get bruised?
Here's all I'm saying: I see a lot of nominations being accepted. And nothing makes me more proud than to see people grabbing mops and heading to aisle four. But please consider the truth that that is what you are signing up for. If you're looking to be a Squad Leader or a Detachment Leader or a Garrison CO or a Legion Commander then go get some heavy duty work gloves on and be appreciative of the epic people standing next to you on the election podium. They are not your enemy. They are your greatest allies, people who are willing to say they have mop-experience. You are a breed apart (uh oh, I'm starting to wax inspiring about leaders, after all that) but you are a breed apart because you want to serve. You want to discuss some hard (and boring) topics about what you think could be improved in the Legion, and you want to talk about it for a long, long time with people who will frustrate you, bore you, insult your intelligence without meaning to (or meaning to!), and carry on and on and on.
Because there are thousands (THOUSANDS) of Star Wars fans out there who listened to the drum beat of the 501st Legion and joined, saying to the world 'we want to be awesome' and it's your job to keep their party going. Not your party, THEIR party. Whatever you do from this point on, do it with humility and patience and a never-ceasing urge to make their lives better. Not your vision of utopia, visions are nice but they can be dangerous if you block out everyone else's vision. You try to see their vision too. You call those members up in your Garrison (the ones who no one talks to) and just say 'hey buddy, how can I help you find your place in this family'. Don't email them, call them, pick up the phone and talk to your people. Connect. If you spend so much time on this that you miss out on actual trooping events, that's not a crime - but at least make sure your work makes THEIR trooping events better. And guess what? You'll be called a hero for it.
And to you voters out there, forget the fanfare, forget the popularity contest - if you're a 501st member reading this then expect more from your leader than a hard sell or a familiar name. Expect them to be the kind of leader you deserve. And whoever gets elected, you support the heck out of them for as long as you can.
So here is my call for all candidates to carry out the mission of leadership in the spirit of selfless service, and do so early by conducting yourselves like true leaders long _before_ you're elected. The party has been going on for over sixteen years now, getting cooler every year. Let's keep this party rolling.
Good luck and Long Live the Legion

Atherton: 2007 Grand Jury Report Findings
Original post made by Grand Jury, Atherton: other, on Dec 1, 2012
From the 2007 Grand Jury report:
According to Atherton ordinance §2.12.070, the Town Manager has very broad powers and responsibilities, some of which are given in the attached Appendix. The essence of these laws setting up the Town Manager form of government is that the Council provides policy guidance to the Town Manager, whereas the Council is generally constrained from interfering with the Town Manager in the execution of his or her day-to-day duties. The Grand Jury did not observe adherence to this constraint.
A permanent Town Manager has been hired, thereby providing an opportunity for a fresh start in Atherton's governance.The Grand Jury hopes to prevent past events from having a chilling effect on any staff who might otherwise be inclined to report future government irregularities or offer constructive suggestions. The motivation for this report is to provide an outside viewpoint and some recommendations that may help avoid future disruptive events similar to those outlined above. All cities must be open to continual public review. The Grand Jury believes that this report can benefit other city administrations. Therefore, a copy of this report is being sent to all cities in the County.
The Grand Jury conducted 17 separate interviews with Atherton elected and appointed officials, management, employees, and concerned citizens. Four people were interviewed twice. In some cases, the accounts of the events differed.The Grand Jury requested and received from the Town numerous policy documents and copies of informal notes taken by various staff members. Those notes described various meetings, incidents and staff interviews. In addition to material provided by the Town,other documents and website resources relating to good management practices were analyzed. Local news reports and the reports from last year's 2006-2007 Grand Jury were also taken into account.
The Grand Jury finds that:
There was a considerable difference of opinion within the Council and Town administration regarding the above-mentioned audit reports.
The public pronouncements to local newspapers by individual members of the Council, audit committee and staff exacerbated animosity among the Council,Town administration and staff. These pronouncements also created considerable uncertainty among the Town's constituents about the nature of the dispute and the Town's position.
The Grand Jury's interviews with staff and Council members revealed considerable rancor, tension, antagonism and lack of collegiality among individuals.

McKeithen leaves Atherton council seat fighting
Atherton, posted by Editor, The Almanac Online, on Nov 28, 2012 at 10:12 am
She came in fighting, and she's going out fighting. Kathy McKeithen, whose three-term tenure as an Atherton City Council member ends next month, is challenging the new town manager's decision to put a "confidential" stamp on a weekly report to the council that he has initiated since arriving in Town Hall in October.

After watching the video of the Atherton Council's March meeting, it's safe to say ... nothing has changed.
The Grand Jury report cited: rancor, tension, and antagonism. All of that was clearly evident ... six years later!
Add to that grandstanding and micromanaging. And, of course ... lack of congeniality.
It's time for at least three residents who can play well with others to step up to the plate. The next election is approaching!

It is very discouraging watching the behavior of Mr Dobbie and Mr Widmer who set a tone of criticism, disrespect for others on the Council and Staff that interferes with a collaborative process. They continue their micromanaging ways and do not understand their role as council members in a City Manger/Council form of government.
I find Mr Dobbie's particularly offensive question to George Roberts at the last council meeting regarding weddings in the park, "Did you wake up one morning, George, and decide to put this item on the agenda?" It is illustrative of his intentional meanness, lack of respect for staff and poor manners. The comment was meant to mock and accuse. Mr Dobbie missed the last meeting and did not bother to read the minutes where he would have learned the council directed the City Manager to put it on the agenda. No apology seems to be forthcoming.
At the meeting Mr Widmer had to be remanded to stop grandstanding.
Clearly Atherton residents need to do better in their choice of council members and not elect people to tear at the heart of the town government in order to support their need of self aggrandizement.

I watched the video. I suggest you try, as hard as it might be, to separate personal feelings from actual content. I assume you are referring to the interchange between Bill Widmer and the city attorney on the telephone system contract as an example of micromanaging. You obviously don't have much business experience. Although Mr. Conners accused Bill Widmer of trying to usurp his legal function, all the points made by Widmer had to do with business issues in the contract. The most telling was Conners protesting that Widmer was wrong to question viability of the vendor since there is no way a viability requirement can be written into a contract. Conners is correct on that, but totally missed the point: the correct business process identifies weaknesses in the vendor, including viability, before it gets approved. This is an issue that a council member should question and consider. The substance of Widmer's comments were all correct.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

text: So I'm starting to jump on the natural cell size band wagon and I'm starting to wonder if it was such a good idea or not. Currently I have everything on MannLake rite cell foundation and I'm beginning to regress the bees by putting in foundationless frames in between drawn frames. The frames are being drawn out beautifully straight, however, EVERY single one of them is drone cell sized. I'm really starting to wonder and question whether or not this was a good idea. I have drones everywhere because they are drawing the cells out drone sized. I'm going to be really bummed if I have to buy 50 packages next year to replace the losses due to the regressing. Lesson learned?

mmmmmmm mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm!!!!!!
crab cakes are so nice!
mmmmmmm mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm!!!!!!
I suppose that a steady diet of crabs would get boring, just like mountain oysters get for us land bounders.
MMMM crab
I like them as an appetizer or just to snack on, to much work for what you get out of them.
And it's been a long time since I've had a good crab cake, you use to be able to get them around here with a lot of meat but now it's just filler with a hint of crab flavor.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
One thing I really miss about being in South Carolina is the blue crabs. We'd go to the 3rd Bn pond on PI with a crab trap and a shrimp net and a case or five of beer and fill our icechests with crabs adn shrimp. Good times.
Was a place on the way to Hunting Island near Beaufort called Johnson Creek Tavern. had an amazing blue crab cake sandwhich.
Hey 4th, did Officer Beal inspect those crabs, they look a little small
4th are they the same as down in panama?it seems they were everywhere but hardly any native ate them.
Damn, you'll got me hungry dragging out this old thread! Haven't had any crabs in a while. We have plenty of nice crabs down here in the swamp too. I have not fished them in a few years since my traps got stolen.

Cleo when you sell nucs do you include the box, top and bottom? I include the frames in mine, but the box is 20.00 extra. I thought that was pretty standard.
On the cage... there is actually a deposit on it that is refundable if you get it back to your supplier.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
Plus nucs come with drawn comb.
A worker bee weighs about 90 mg. There are exactly 6600 cells per deep frame of commercially produced foundation.
So there are 11 bees per gram and 454 grams per lb. So 5044 bees per lb x 3 lbs is 15133 bees in a 3 lb package.
So a deep of brood is just over 1/3 of a three lb package.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
bluegrass.... Actually I sell a variety of ways, but first, keep in mind that I am a small peanut in the world of nucs. I only program to sell 100 each year. I am almost sold out for this year. I think I only have 5 more available.
If I sell a nuc, yes, the nuc will have 2 or 3 frames of brood, two additional frames of bees, honey, pollen, new queen already laying, and the nuc is a box jointed nuc, with detachable bottom board, and top. I also sell transfers, where I transfer 5 frames into customer equipment. I also sell 5 frame nucs in 10 frame equipment. In this case the customer gets the 5 nuc frames, plus 5 additional frames with foundation. All 10 frame equipment, including bottom board, deep brood chamber, inner cover, top.
Sorry, I wasn't aware that there was a refundable deposit on the wire cages. Obviously, I haven't bought any packages in years and years, but I didn't think Kelly gave anything back for the cage. I will have to check on this just for info.
Here is a photo of what the nucs look like.

Here is a photo of the Nucs on the stands, waiting for customer pick-up.

Cleo, what are the stands made from? Also, are they on the stands to be at a working height or for some other reason?
Major... After a Nuc seller has been in business for a few years, his/her customers will get virtually new frames because I have to replace the 5 frames I took out for the Nuc with 5 new frames with foundation in the brood stock. And you are right, a GOOD Nuc seller will stay in business because he/she sells a quality product. Fly-by-Nights will drop by the wayside.
Bluegrass...I can't do math. You got me there.
Adrian Quiney WI...Those stands are the plastic tubs that cattle mineral comes in, from Southern States. They are free for the taking. Yes they are selected because they are at a comfortable height for the Nucs, and they are free. The tubs will support perhaps 2 deep and 1 shallow, but not much more. They would not be good for honey hive stands where you have several boxes. My brood stock is on metal pipe stands, like these two photos.
Thru top feeders.jpg
Stovall Brood Stock.jpg
Purchased 1 nuc and 1 package last May. Nuc came with a good supply of mites with the brood.. could not control...didn't last the year...package is going strong...
Mark another one up for nuc disadvantage: 1 lost hive -$130
oldforte....Couldn't you also get mites with your package bees? I would chalk that one up to the supplier, rather than nuc vrs package. If your nuc supplier is selling nucs with heavy mite loads, he/she won't be selling nucs very long. People will not come back, and the word will get out. Same with packages.
Ever get a package that contains a queen with the bees, and one in the cage. It happens, if they don't find the queen when making up the packages, or there were virgin queens as a result of swarming when they made up the packages. Which one survives, and does she get damaged.
Ever order more than one package and have one or more drift so badly that one or more could not survive. If so you are out the cost of a package.
There are advantages and disadvantages with both. Good conversation and analysis on this thread. Thanks everyone.
I recommend a buyer do his/her homework and choose whichever one will work best for you.

I started beekeeping with both a package and then a nuc last year. I experienced some pros and cons with both.
The first package came with most of the bees drowned from too big holes in the syrup can. The seller didn't give me any problem and replaced the package but it meant I got a very late start (which really mattered last year with an early spring and then summer drought). The queen that came with the package was not much of a layer and by time I replaced her it might have been too late. The bees went into winter with a fairly small cluster and I am not sure they will make it (I already ordered a replacement package just in case).
The nuc I purchased for pickup in late summer and while they are great bees, it came with SHB and wax worms. The bees and I fought those but because of the SHB I had a hard time giving them pollen supplement (which they were low on and needed to raise brood) and they too went into winter with a small cluster. I am not sure this hive will make it through winter either but they seem to be doing well so far. Better than the package, but these bees were supposed to have great genetics so I am hoping they show it and survive.
This year, to avoid having the same issues with the package I found a producer in my state and will drive to pick up the bees.
i always order packages if there not biting the cage or stinging which i never seen i let her out so she can lay as soon as possible.the times i let the bees release her they supersede her.i figure they think shes not a good egg layer caged too long..my two cents..
Kelley may not give the deposit back, but their supplier probably would if they were willing to store them and give them back to them. The deposit is only 1.50 this year so for somebody who only buys a few packages it probably isn't worth returning them, but some of my larger customers return them and I take them back. The deposit is worked into the price so most people don't know it is there.
If a customer contacts me within two weeks of getting a package and need a replacement queen I send them one. All the package producers I have worked with have sent extras with the load in case of failed queens. Except in 2010 because they didn't have extra's available. Last year I had nearly 30 queens left over...
Yes you can get mites with a package, but there isn't extra brood for a second generation of mites in with the package Also there was a study in 97 I think about foul brood in Nucs... They were comparing why it wasn't a problem with package bees and their results indicated that the shaken out bees did not have enough spores in them to infect a newly established hive, where the brood from a nuc did.. I will try and find that source.
Cleo: Wish I had the opportunity to meet you while I was still in KY... Looks like I moved out about the time you joined the forum... Your reputation had preceded you though
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
You could probably buy a nuke in the middle of winter not so a package.
Im really not that serious
Bluegrass...Yes, I know about the reduction of mites in packages. And that is a plus for a package. AFB is also an increased possibility with the nucs, and reduced with packages. Guess the new beekeeper just needs to weigh their options and then decide which will work best for them.
I can see why the small beekeeper would not fool with the deposit,($1.50). But, if you were buying 500 packages that would be $750.00, and that is significant. I learn something every day. I didn't know there was a deposit on packages. I am just a very small peanut in the world of bees and Nucs.
Colleen O ..... Small hive beetles are certainly a problem with Nucs, and to a lesser degree packages, (but, it is there also), only good management practices will take care of this problem. As for Wax worms, that is an indication that the nuc was not strong. You will not get wax worms unless your nuc/hive is weak. This would not be your fault, as the producer should not be splitting a hive that is weak enough to have a wax worm problem. You won't get wax worms with strong nucs or strong hives. It is amazing how many problems can be traced to weak hives. Keep your nucs/hives strong, don't give them excessive wax that they cannot guard.
As for supercedure.... Every year I get numerous calls from all over the country, about people seeing queen cells in nucs they have purchased. This is totally natural. If a nuc is made up in Georgia and a new queen placed in the nuc in a cage, then trucked to Illinois, the bees realize very quickly that they do not have a queen that is laying for them and they take matters into their own hands, and start queen cells to insure their survivability. They only have a limited number of days to do this until there are no viable eggs left to make a queen. If the new queen gets out of the cage and starts laying, the bees will take care of those queen cells before they emerge. Ideal situation is to have the queen laying before they are delivered to the customers.
I think I joined the Forum in 2010. I retired from the Army in 1978 and I said I did not want anything to do with computers, but, in 1995 I realized that I should stay up with the World. I had not heard of the Forum until Kelly asked me to answer some questions for them. Glad I found it. Barry does a great job on this site. There are a World of GREAT people on this site.
I learn something new, virtually every day. I learn something, even if a post is not totally accurate or filled with bias. As they say in Intelligence Gathering, "A lie, when you know it is a lie, is often just as valuable as the truth". (Don't know who made that comment).
If you, or anyone else are ever in Kentucky, around Exit 48 on Ky. I-65, Mammoth Cave Kentucky, you are welcome to contact me and I will be happy to show you my little operation, talk about bees.
Everybody, Have a great day.

Cleo: Just out of curiosity what is your price difference between a nuc where you transfer into the customer's box and one where they get the nuc box.
Last year my nucs were 125.00 plus 20.00 for the box if they needed it. I only had one person take my boxes and pay the deposit on them, he has not returned them. Everybody else did a transfer like you mentioned above for the 125.00 price.
Thanks for the invitation, if I ever get back down that way I will contact you.
No need to be good at math really.
A deep sheet of foundation is mechanically printed with a consistent cell size, so you just count the cells in a square inch (24) and multiply by the size of the sheet. A sheet is 16 3/4x8 so 134 sq inches per sheet. That gives you about 3300 which you multiply by 2 to account for both sides of a comb.
The weight of the average worker bee you can just ask your smart phone or google and I get an answer of 90 mg. So convert mg to grams and you get 11 bees per gram and grams to lbs to get 5044 bees per lb. So one deep frame of brood will hatch out about a lb of bees... Of course that does not take the honey along the edges into account.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
I found it very interesting the see the wide variety of ideas and ethics displayed by the various vendors. As Major said above, make sure to look carefully and ask questions BEFORE you buy.
We are teaching our newbees how to ask questions this year before paying for the nuc. And which questions to ask. So many were cheated last year......very sad.

Get aero and stay hydrated
The question that seems to be on many peoples minds when preparing for a time trial is, 'Where should I mount my water bottle?' If you're opting to go with a rear hydration system, just to be a little more aero, rethink your decision and throw down a few dollars for the Arundel Chrono Water Bottle and Cage.
Barely wider than the average downtube, the Chrono has a fairing effect proven to make your bike more aerodynamic than having no cage on your bike. Setting itself apart from other cages, you'll find the Chrono cage doesn't hug the bottle, but rather, the bottle is molded to snap into the cage. No cage arms sticking out across your downtube means substantially less drag -- it's an elemental part of the Chrono's near-invisible profile. The bottle clicks in and out of the cage with ease, and when the bottle is in the cage it won't eject from it.
If you've been time-trialing with one of those bulky between-the-aero-bar bottles with a straw sticking out of it -- it's time for an upgrade. The Chrono is more aero, less clunky, and it contains more than enough water for a 40km TT. The claimed combined weight of the Arundel Chrono Bottle and Cage 120g. The bottle holds 22oz.
- Logo serves as improved grip for confident handling
- Countersunk surfaces on the bottle provide a seamless interface with the cage
- Carbon fiber cage keeps your machine light and fast

Bottle launcher
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Bottle is launched when going over pretty typical/normal bumps. During the start of my ride I went over a pretty tame edge of pavement and it was launched, with my buddy who was following barely able to dodge it.
Since it was brand new, I was hoping it was just a rare occurrence and continued using it. Later on in the ride, same thing, a pretty minor bump and it was launched again, flying out into the street. It's a nice bottle, but unfortunately very unsafe and unusable due to the bottle ejecting behavior.
Good for NICE roads only
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This works great on a TT or Triathlon bike when you are riding on NICE paved roads. Throw a small bump and be assured that your water bottle will go out flying!!
Wine tour or TT? Get this guy.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Chrono was outlawed by the UCI ages ago, but when you are taking your road bike on a wine tour, the only governing body is your conscience. The carbon Chrono cage is light weight and stylish, so you never have to hem and haw over extra grams your stainless cage has and worry about them holding you back as you teeter up the hills in Sonoma, your mind a little glazed over from "tasting" too many wines. Was it the Chardonnay or the Sauvignon Blanc that set you over the edge? Were those hints of lavender or rose? As you reach for your Chrono water bottle to refresh your palette you can rest assured you'll find it securely held in it's cage.
If you are just a Triathlete looking to save a few grams, it does alright too.
HAHAH! Amazing review Christy!
I'm saving up for a bike this spring, and I believe this will be my first accessory, you've inspired me!
Red or white? That is the question.

Hi guys/girls
My names Lee and Im approaching the end of my first year of beekeeping out on the outskirts of Sheffield in the UK. Been a tough year with the weather and weak colony I bought second hand but things are on the up!
Im also a design student, concentrating on the redesign of some of the beekeeping equipment used by commercial/sideliners as graduation project which prompted me to keep bees in the first place.
Is there any commercial/sideliners out there that could help me out with some research with few photos?
Much appreciated!

A survey shows that Windows users are not rushing to do Windows 8 upgrades – what's slowing them down? An antivirus company called Avast has released results from a survey they conducted of Windows PC users. Findings show that most Windows users in the U.S. know about Windows 8 but few have immediate plans to upgrade to Microsoft's newest operating system.
SiliconANGLE Contributing Editor John Casaretto attributes this to several factors. Since the survey was done a day before the Windows 8 launch, Casaretto says it's important to note many of the survey participants had not actually touched or used Windows 8 at the time of the survey. He also reminded viewers that the economy is still in a recession, and with plenty of Windows devices running well on Windows 7, users may not see a need to upgrade right away. He believes another reason could be that consumers still covet their beloved iPads.
For consumers who have been exposed to Windows 8, it seems as though the Metro interface is a concern in having to re-learn an operating system. Casaretto commented on Microsoft's strategy saying, "I think What they're trying to do is get [the product] in people's hands and get them accustomed to it."
The survey indicated that 42% of Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP users who are ready to buy a new PC intend to switch to an Apple product. Could the reluctance of this group to lose the keyboard and mouse components and transition to that touch interface be turning the tables and making Mac the new "old school" PC? Casaretto acknowledged there's a shift in the market, but disagreed that the tables have turned completely.
It seems as though consumers are more willing to try Windows 8 out on a mobile device versus a traditional PC. Casaretto agreed, stating that "People are looking at Windows 8 as a mobile platform." He said Microsoft has some work to do in getting the word out to try Windows 8 and proceed from there. See the entire segment with Kristin Feledy and John Casaretto on the Morning NewsDesk Show.

This weekend I will be reporting from Blogalicious – a conference "aimed at celebrating the diversity of women of all ethnicities in social media."
The conference is being held about 20 minutes from Washington, D.C. this year, so I knew I had to go. Despite its proximity, there are still expenses associated with going to a conference, so I'm thankful to the sponsors who stepped up to support Latinaish.com in attending Blogalicious 2011.
It's especially awesome when those that offer to sponsor you are brands you're proud to represent. Here's a little bit about each of them.
• Chí Chí & Flaco – is "a modern t-shirt line savoring the flavor of Latino and Hispanic culture in the United States." (If you have Cuban roots, you'll especially want to check them out.)
• New Latina – is an online magazine, (which I'm very proud to contribute to), that celebrates and redefines Latina women while providing a supportive community.
• Kellogg's – Ya sabes! You probably have a box of their cereal in the cabinet right now. I do, except it's empty. (Why do the kids do that?)
And look what I discovered while grocery shopping this week – Bilingual cereal boxes!
When I saw the bilingual cereal boxes I was even happier that I agreed to the Kellogg's sponsorship, but the truth is, Kellogg's has had a long history with the Latino community.
I still remember when Carlos and I first married and he wanted me to buy "Cornfleis" at the grocery store. I had no clue what he was talking about until he put a box of "Corn Flakes" in our cart. I love that Carlos loves Corn Flakes because that used to be my grandfather's favorite cereal. Seeing the classic box with the rooster on it in our cabinet gives me some good memories.
Of course, Carlos doesn't eat it like my grandfather did. He heats up the milk in the bowl and eats it warm. (Is that a Latin American thing?)
Anyway, I'll have more to share from Kellogg's especially for la comunidad Latina later via Twitter and right here on Latinaish – so stay tuned! My last sponsor is:
• Latina Bloggers Connect – LBC connects brands with Latina bloggers and is another website I'm super proud to contribute to. At Blogalicious I will be part of the #SprintConnects LBC team. Along with Ana Flores, Dariela Cruz, Chantilly Patiño and Rachel Matos, I'll be sharing photos, updates and tweets from the conference all weekend on Twitter, Facebook and Latina Bloggers Connect. There will be a contest and prizes for those attending Blogalicious – so be sure to check that out!
Excited to reconnect with mis hermanas blogueras and meet new amigas as well. Ojalá we'll learn and have fun all at the same time. See you there!

The President of Burma, U Thein Sein, will make a state visit to New Zealand this week.
Thein Sein will arrive in Auckland on Thursday and leave on Sunday.
The president will receive a formal state welcome at Government House in Auckland at 3pm on Thursday followed by a state dinner that evening.
He will also meet with representatives from Fonterra and the University of Auckland, and visit a dairy farm.
The president's delegation includes ministers and deputy ministers responsible for foreign affairs, agriculture, education, health, economic development and science.
New Zealand Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae welcomed the visit.
"The last year has marked a new beginning in relations between New Zealand and Myanmar, with a number of high level visits after decades of limited contact. Those contacts have been in direct response to the wide ranging economic, social and political reforms instituted by the President that have seen the south-east Asian nation open itself to the world."
The former military leader cancelled a trip to New Zealand and Australia in December last year due to domestic developments.
The Burmese president's official website yesterday announced he would visit the two countries in the "near future", following invitations from Key and Australian Governor General Quentin Bryce.
In November Key became the first New Zealand Prime Minster to visit the South East Asian country, meeting with President Thein Sein as well pro-democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi.

There's a fine line between stupid and clever, as Spinal Tap once quipped, and don't these Future of the Left guys just know it. The Welsh trio, with two members from the now-defunct (sniff) McLusky, stomp all over that line with the subversive glee of a not-so-ignorant ignoramus.
Their barbaric yawp is militaristic and blocky, a swarm of ragged larynxes and troglodytic rhythm making — I picture Devo after the Apocalypse, their taut, repeated motions made tauter by frequent "YEEAAAAAAH!" battle cries. Travels with Myself and Another doesn't quite live up to the band's first studio album, 2007's Curses, but it reaches the same boorishly absurd heights on the spastic "Drink Nike" and on "Stand by Your Manatee," a catchy freakout about the "shame" of using plastic silverware.
Perhaps Future of the Left are suggesting that punk's worth is nothing more than its noise, or that profane disobedience would be nothing without the status quo to provoke. Or that there's also a fine line between a revolution and a tantrum.

The weather has been up and down over the past week with temps of up to 70 plus I've seen daffodills popping up in protected area. What this meant was that I decided to strip out my trap blocks and get them into the reefer for the last couple of weeks.
My trap blocks have 6" parchment paper tubes for a total of 165 tubes. They yielded ~1081 cocoons that look viable. i did not candle any of them.
I set out , late in the season around Mid May, a grooved board trap. It only partially filled but It yielded 245 cocoons. However, I'm not sure they are all mason bees.Some of the tubes had 17+ cocoons and they all looked small and just looked different, but I can't point to anything specific.
I will have two of the grooved board traps for this season. I am going to keep the cocoons I pulled from it in a seperate hatch box just to see if the hatch rate is any different. Unloading it was easier than the tubes but I worry that sliding a tool underneath them might damage them. Might need to look into what sort of tool other people use.
Anyway, here is a link to some photos of my traps and the yields.

Too add Images, you can either do it by using the Pictures setting in rich text to add Images you have saved or you have to find the HTML code for the Image you'd like to place, and post it with your message. (Thought this would be useful information for this thread, I'm not meaning to add clutter.)

We got the leggings now, so we need tunic tops to wear with them! I always say leggings aren't pants, and I prefer not to wear them as such, and I need long tops to avoid doing so. Trendy plaid tunics would be cool as well as solids, and long tanks as well. I'd add pictures but I can't seem to figure out how, loooooooool! ~psst~ any help would be appreciated! xD

Something I had forgotten about over the years, but I'll try to post this at least once....
I want Reversi Game Boards that I can use in any apartment.
In the past I had been annoyed they had come out with Checkers & Chess, but never Reversi despite it using the same kind of board.
Re: January 2013 Suggestions
Speed up loading, maybe improve quality of items and such. Decreasing lag, bugs, and glitches as seen within Home minigames and Home spaces as well. Making new avatar interactions between two; such as hugs in which one individual must accept a request from another for an animation to be initiated and an ability to fully customize an avatar's appearance, or at the very least partially to edit certain purchases of things such has hair and clothing to the user's comfort. New clothing and after a few months but an extremely dim hope of this actually happening. Events, which have never happened for the past year. So far, nothing comparable to be called an event or quest as it was called last year and the year before that. At the very least something that'll pique interest in Home once again after so much dissonance.
I come to the end of this long road.
Neither Human nor Devil.

Arsenal Football Club's award-winning education programme, the Arsenal Double Club, is ensuring that while the home nations may not be participating in the Euros this summer, school children can still show their support for other European teams during class time.
The Arsenal Double Club is an initiative which harnesses the power and popularity of football and fuses it with classroom subjects to provide innovative teaching resources. The 45-minute classes are followed by a 45-minute football coaching session with an Arsenal in the Community coach - mirroring the two halves of the beautiful game.
The pioneering education scheme which began in 1998 with simple numeracy and literacy modules has continually evolved reaching more children and young people and has since grown its portfolio of subjects to include geography, science, modern languages and history among others.
Arsenal Double Club's traditional numeracy and literacy resources have been updated to reflect elements of the exciting European tournament taking place in Switzerland and Austria, which kicks off this weekend.
Arsenal players, including Euro 2008 hopeful, Cesc Fabregas, have contributed to the modern language modules, participating in bespoke Spanish Double Club Q&A sessions on DVD which form part of the resource packs used in schools in London and beyond.
Arsenal Double Club Co-ordinator Scott Cohen said: "Despite the home nations not being involved in the Euros this summer, the language modules engage the young people and give them a platform to take an interest in the football being played throughout the tournament by Spain, France and Germany.
"The updated numeracy and literacy modules which focus on the Arsenal players involved in Euro 2008 will hopefully motivate even more pupils to improve their skills before the end of the school year."
Arsenal's language Double Club modules have been hailed by the European Commissioner for Multi-Lingualism Leonard Orban and have recently been nominated for an award from CILT - the National Centre for Languages, the Government's recognised centre of expertise on languages.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

text: I was talking to a row farmer yesterday. I was asking if he had noticed any plants showing resistance to Round-up and he mentioned Dandelions. I hadn't put two and two together until he mentioned this, but last year I had a surplus of Dandelion honey and sold it. I had been noticing the dandelions coming up in the crop fields, but hadn't thought much of it. Is anyone else noticing Dandelions in abundance? If this is a trend we could end up with bigger Dandelion flows in the future.

He's not having a bad year by any stretch... as you've put it, 'average' would probably the most appropriate word. He has one game with 500+ yards, but those are balanced out by the sub 200 yard games. And I mean balanced out in the most literal sense.
Overall, currently Eli is having a typical Eli year... around 250 yards passing per game, about 1.1 ints per game, on about 34-35 attempts per game, which has been pretty congruent with his average over the last few years (since he started airing it out in 2008). The only thing that isn't matching up is the TD totals, but I expect those should balance out toward the end of the year.
Every QB has bad games, even the elites. Eli shouldn't be criticized for his bad games since all QBs have them. However, his average numbers this year aren't out of the ordinary, which is why many still question whether or not he's elite.

Reviews of this property
Die Wohnung war super. Wir haben dort etwas mehr als 2 Monate gelebt und haben uns dort wirklich wohl gefühlt. Die Lage ist toll, man erreicht vieles zu Fuß.
Außerdem war es großartig, wie sich die Vermieterin um uns gekümmert hat. Wir waren nie alleine mit unseren Sorgen.
Thank you Fanny! We are glad having lived in your flat!
Reviews for this host's other properties
Hi, the flat was ok but maybe a little bit small for 4 persons.
One thing that I blame in this situation, is giving deposit without any receipt/account/certificate. And the flat could be cleaner.
br/Barbara Bakovic
We really enjoyed our stay in Fanny's apartment. It was a great Carrefour just down the road, we loved strolling around Montmartre, we had our morning coffee at KB Cafeshop 5 minutes away, where we also picked up our velib bikes on a station across the road from the cafe. Everywhere we went on bike was sort of downhill from Montmartre and everything felt easy and accessible. Fanny gave us all the information we needed before our stay and was easy to contact also during our stay - she took great care of us and the apartment had everything we needed. Thank you, Fanny! We might come back to our home away from home - in Paris! :)
Fannys Apartment is very well located with easy Access to public Transport. The Apartment is calm, clean small and cozy. You feel, that it is Fannys Apartment and not a unpersonal holiday flat. Fanny is a really nice owner, no Problem, that we came late in the evening, no Problem, that we could let our luggage in the apartment the last day for some hours.
Absolute perfect location. Nice appartment, good bed, easy handling with the owner Fanny, water in the shower is strong, even on the 6th floor. Lots of bars, restaurants, bistros, etc around and very close to metro. A few steps to Sacre Coeur. Anytime again when I am in Paris. Thanks Fanny
The apartment was perfect for us. Situated a few minutes walk from the Sacre Coeur and located within 5 minutes walk of approx 3 metro stations. Plenty of restaurants, supermarkets & boulangeries within the vicinity too.
It is homely, as Fanny describes. It's on the sixth floor ( don't worry there is a small lift).
Fanny was very welcoming and met us on arrival. We were around 45 minutes late due to Friday afternoon Paris traffic, but rang ahead to let her know. There is pretty much zero free street parking around so we had booked ahead. The nearest parking is probably Next to Anvers Metro station and was €59 for 48 hrs. However we parked at St Lazare (4 metro stops away - 10 minutes) as it was €21 for secure modern underground parking. We would happily stay here again!
Fanny's flat in the heart of Montmartre made our short stay in Paris just perfect. We had a really nice and comfortable base with the flat, where we felt home. We could enjoy the typical mood in Paris and had a perfect trip.
The organisiation with arrival and leaving was really easy and uncomplicated! We would definetily recommend Fanny's flat :)
Very nice appartment, located right at the start of Abbesses Area and a few hundred meters from Sacré Coeur. The apartment was cosy and clean. The communication with Fanny was super easy and everything went well. We will definitely come back!
To everybody who wants to have a really nice stay in Paris!
Organisation with Fanny before the trip perfect!
Arrival with Fanny's kindly mother perfect (Leaving as well)!
The flat was really nice, clean an comfortable! Everything is in the near (Moulin Rouge, Metro, Parkhouse, etc.)
Even the weather was perfect ; )
Everytime again- we will book your flat probably again!
Thanks for a special trip!!!

Excerpt: "Much has been said and written regarding two of the new rules for the 2013 season and I figured I might as well add my two cents to the discussion.
First the new helmet rule in which an offensive player who is outside of the tackle box may not deliberately lower his head and hit the defensive with the crown (i.e., the top area) of the helmet. This new rule adds consistency to the game (now neither the defensive nor offensive player can use his helmet as a weapon) and hopefully will reduce helmet-to-helmet hits and will actually be of greater benefit to the offensive player who often suffers the greatest injury to his neck and spine when he attempts to blast through the defensive player.
I would point out that as the rule is only applicable outside of the tackle box it should have no impact on short yardage plays. Also, it will not impact the situation where a runner lowers his shoulder makes contact with the front of his helmet against a defensive player.
Personally, I do not anticipate that this foul will be called more than 10-15 times in the season as the situations in which all of the requirements for this foul occur are few and far between.As long as the NFL is being sued by ex-players for head injuries resulting from their time in the NFL, you can expect that there will be other rules attempting to take the use of the helmet out of the game of football in the future.
One can talk all they want about how these changes are making the game less "manly" but the changes are dictated by the realities of the times. One forgets that the rules of football have been in constant flux through the years (i.e., moving the goal posts to the end line, allowing blockers to extend their arms and hands forward, not allowing runners to get up after they have been knocked to the ground) and the game has managed to survive. And it will continue to do so." Read more...

Barrick Gold Fined By Chile, Stock Plunges After Halt
Shares of Barrick Gold were halted earlier after the company was fined $16 million by the Chileangovernment for environment issues.
The Wall Street Journal has the details:
Shares in Barrick Gold Corp. were halted midday Friday, just after the Chilean government fined the world's largest gold miner $15.8 million for alleged breaches in environmental controls at its flagship Pascua-Lama mine, raising fresh questions about the massive mine's future.
Barrick had last month halted construction of the mine's Chilean operations after being ordered by the Chilean government to stop work because of "serious violations" of environmental standards that followed complaints by aboriginal communities. The mine straddles the Chilean and Argentinian border, and Barrick has continued to work on the Argentinian side of the mine.
Barrick's shares have dropped 3.4% to $18.89. Also falling: Silver Wheaton (SLW), which has a contract to purchase some silver from the mine. Its shares had gained 0.9% to $23.30 but have yet to resume trading, according to FactSet data.
