The House committee on climate change and energy independence has told the U.S. government that current CAFE regulations forcing carmaker fleet-wide fuel economy levels to average 35mpg by 2020 is not enough. Instead, the committee wants to see that deadline brought forward to 2015. The announcement comes from House committee Edward Markey who, along with other lawmakers, will put forward a new proposal to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The NHTSA will be accepting comments and proposals on the new fuel economy rules until Tuesday, July 1.The current CAFE law, enacted by Congress and President Bush in December, will force carmakers to average at least 35mpg by 2020 or pay fines or buy credits from other carmakers whose average fuel-economy levels are beyond those of the standard. There will however be interim deadlines. In April, the NHTSA implemented a law that will force cars to average 35.7mpg and trucks to average 28.6mpg by 2015 – a combined rating of 31.6mpg. However, these rules were devised when fuel prices were an average $2.42 a gallon. With gasoline already averaging more than $4 a gallon, Markey called the calculation "absurd," reports The Detroit News. He explained that the NHTSA proposal also included a scenario for higher gas prices that assumed a more reasonable fuel price range of $3.14 a gallon in 2016 to $3.74 a gallon in 2030, and shows that deadline could be brought forward given the cost-benefit analysis of the new technology versus the saving in fuel spending for consumers.LINK
This is insane.Few even know how badly this will ripple and when they finally do, the damage will be done.

I honestly don't think any automaker could achieve this.
Me neither.
35 mpg only? Easy.

Do they think that the companies are just not trying and that they can easily accomplish this if they want? With all the other safety regulations driving up weight it's unrealistic to do this. This is just stupid.
_________________________________________________________________________Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand.
This isnt going to make Americans drive any less.
I think that what it's going to do is make Americans more angry when they drive. Glad I'll be driving a Suburban when the road rage gets in to full swing.
_________________________________________________________________________Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand.
adjusted for current EPA numbers [but not necessarily '08 EPA numbers], this is actually 26.5 MPG. But automakers currently are only held to 21MPG or so, so it's still a decent size jump. Though with people buying less trucks, that does help each automaker's CAFE numbers.
____________________Because it totally worked when Lincoln did it.
If this passes, all car companies will be doomed, and royally Funked!
These people don't understand that automakers can't get fuel economy like that overnight, 7 years is not enough even 12 years is pressuring automakers, they need more time to be able to do that. If the deadline does end up being 2015 most if not all automakers will probably be out of buisness, in a lot of debt or only have a few models to offer which won't be good for the consumer.
Well if this does go through, I see a lot of automkakers changing their plans or ramping up plans set in place.
I think the government needs to stay out of the automotive world, they know nothing about it, so why interfere?
We NEED this. We should all write our congressmen.

RFID workshop at UTSA
Area manufacturers benefit from UTSA laboratory
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 13, 2008)--The UTSA Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Lean Systems (CAMLS), housed in the College of Engineering, recently partnered with the San Antonio Manufacturers Association to conduct a radio frequency identification (RFID) workshop.

RFID is an automatic identification technology that stores and remotely retrieves data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. RFID tags are objects that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves.
The move towards RFID technology continues to rise in both the retail and manufacturing sectors. In 2005, Wal-Mart mandated that all its top suppliers have RFID tags on pallets carrying products delivered to all Wal-Mart distribution warehouses. Now, more manufacturers are implementing RFID systems into their distribution systems.
"Our center is unique to the country in that we try to look at the big picture and show how systems need to be integrated using a systems engineering perspective," said Can Saygin, UTSA associate professor of mechanical engineering. "We look at the methodologies and the kinds of technologies we can bundle together for technology transfer in this industry that generates $14.6 billion for the San Antonio economy."
In addition to seminars, the workshop in the CAMLS laboratory provided an opportunity for participants to receive hands-on experience and see how RFID technology can be used in the workplace.
"Together with their partners, these UTSA engineering students have developed a supply network that demonstrates how information can go back and forth using real-time scenarios," said Glenn Thomsen, Omnitrol Networks business development division. "Just the work they are doing in terms of lean manufacturing applications enabled by automatic identification technologies is cutting-edge research that we are considering and is not being done anywhere else in the country."
"The automation portion and the ability to use this technology is very cutting-edge and I like to see universities embracing this technology," said Scott Denholm, Motorola senior manager for RFID business development. "I see a symbiotic relationship in that UTSA is giving back to the community in the engineering environment and they are getting back in learning how the technologies function in the workplace."
The workshop was cosponsored by the UTSA Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Lean Systems, San Antonio Manufacturers Association, System ID, Manufacturing Systems and Automation Laboratory, Omnitrol Networks and Motorola.
The College of Engineering is one of UTSA's fastest growing colleges with a 101 percent increase in student enrollment in the last seven years in addition to being one of the nation's leading producers of Hispanic engineers. Its undergraduate programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
UTSA Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Lean Systems
Established in April 2007, the Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Lean Systems (CAMLS) has received more than $1.2 million in funding from the Department of Defense, National Science Foundation and private industry to support three manufacturing engineering laboratories and 37 employees in the center.
The center serves as a one-stop, unique source of expertise in flexible and lean technologies and systems, and technology applications in manufacturing, service and defense industries with the intention to work with industrial partners and assist them with manufacturing and system needs.
The center will serve as a catalyst to add master's degree programs in the UTSA College of Engineering. The center benefits industrial partners and College of Engineering students with experience and knowledge to heighten their potential to become tomorrow's leading minds in engineering.

Top 10 Worst Christmas Songs Ever
'Tis the season...to hear endless loops of holiday music and feel tempted to strangle someone with red and green garland.
While some Christmas carols might actually bring joy to the world, there are a lot of songs that we want to throw out with the decaying holly and the ivy.
Without further ado, here are the Top 10 Worst Christmas Songs:
10. The Twelve Days of Christmas: Let's face it. Unless Bob and Doug McKenzie or the Muppets are singing this version, forgo it at all costs. Or, if you can't control the music dial, find some eggnog. You'll have time to down an entire bowl along with the partridge that's flailing in it, all while the five..golden...rings... are becoming more and more precious. Here, Gollum. Come on, Boy.
9. Feliz Navidad, by Jose Feliciano. It's decidedly challenging to make the Spanish language sound un-sexy. This song does it by helping us find the bottoms of our hearts. And stomachs.
List continues after the slideshow...
#10 - The 12 Days of Christmas is a popular Christmas carol, but terrible. Come on. We get it...you don't need to keep repeating yourself.
#9 - Feliz Navidad. Congrats, Jose. You are the first person to make Spanish sound unsexy.
#8 - Santa Baby. Santa should not be sexy or cutesy or anything creepy like that.
#7 - Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. Yuck, yuck, yuck. What is wrong with people who sing this?
#6- All I Want for Christmas Is You duet with Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber. The age difference between these two is kind of gross.
#5 - Jingle Bells as barked by dogs. Seriously. If you play this at Christmastime, Christmas will be ruined. Forever.
#4 - Jingle Bells by Barbara Streisand. How anyone could make a version worse than the barking dogs is beyond us, but Babs made it happen.
#3 - I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. This song is so bad it would have likely been self-erased from the minds of humankind by now, but then those geniuses over at Telus had to bring it back in a commercial. We hope everyone the creative department over at Telus has a yearly dump of coal in their stockings.
#2: Christmas song by Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Seriously, guys. Don't quit your day job. You're horrible.
#1- The Christmas Shoes. So sappy and cheesy. So uncomfortable.
8. Santa Baby, by anyone who dares. Let's face it: Santa has had too many babies. That's what given us so many saccharine songs.
7. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. Every time I hear this song, I wish I'd been run over by a reindeer.
6. All I Want for Christmas Is You, by Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber. This may be the first time that the Minipops label does not need to record with kids because it would sound identical to the original.
5. Jingle Bells, the barking dog version. If I wanted to hear barking dogs, I'd drop by a kennel over the holidays.
4. Jingle Bells, by Barbara Streisand. Ranked only slightly lower than the canine version is the songstress's wispy, sped-up version. Pass the Xanax, please.
3. I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. And if, instead of a hippopotamus for Christmas, I get this song, please include some heavy-duty earplugs.
2. Christmas Song, by Alvin and the Chipmunks. If I wanted a helium-infused Christmas, I'd kiss a clown under some mistletoe.
1. The Christmas Shoes. When I asked people to nominate the worst Christmas song on my Ironic Mom Facebook page, The Christmas Shoes received the most votes. This holiday ballad takes sap (and I'm not talking about maple syrup) to a new level.
Now it's your turn:
What Christmas songs make you want to add more rum to your eggnog?

Hundreds attend memorial service
It is often said about funerals and memorial services, that if you could ask each and every person why it was they were in the congregation, what an extraordinary testimony that would be.
When it comes to the hundreds who packed into St Peter's Church for Bert Williams' memorial service this afternoon, it would be difficult to know where to start.
As Rector of Wolverhampton Rev David Wright: "There's the public life and the private life, the family man and the friend, the footballer and the businessman – there are so many aspects to Bert's life that we are here to celebrate today."
And so it was that Bert's family, friends, former team-mates were joined by many more Wolves supporters in paying tribute to the Wolves and England great, who passed away last month at the age of 93.
Bert's family had been heavily involved in the planning of the service, and his favourite music – much of it including a football or sporting theme – was in evidence throughout.
Kicking off proceedings was the famous cup final hymn Abide with Me – how could it not be given this was a tribute to 1949 FA Cup Final winning goalkeeper?
The exit music was Land of Hope and Glory, composed by Wolves fan Edward Elgar, 'Jerusalem' has now been used for various sporting occasions and even the Battle Hymn of the Republic has a 'Glory Glory Hallelujah' chorus whose words are now adapted by the Molineux faithful in support of the team Bert graced.
Although there was – said one of the speakers BBC Midlands today presenter Ian Winter – a slight problem with the opening music: "Je ne regrette rien."
"He did tell me he had one regret," said Ian. "That he didn't play until he was 100!"
Joking aside though Bert didn't regret anything.
His was a life not only full of footballing success at the very highest level but what was of more importance were his family and friends, and always being open and approachable.
It was Ian and fellow experienced broadcaster Bob Hall who delivered addresses with memories of Bert, whom both said they had felt "privileged" to get to know not only as a footballer but also as a friend.
For Bob there were the early memories as a youngster of seeing Bert on the cover of the famous Charles Buchan Soccer Monthly magazines – "as a young fan I was gripped," he recalled.
"He was an amazing man who had the extraordinary ability to make everyone who visited him feel special," added Ian.
And both were united in describing the gentle and unassuming nature of the man who was actually doing them a favour by being interviewed.
"I was quite nervous the first time I went to interview Bert," said Bob.
"Then I remember seeing him at Molineux maybe six months later and he came up to me.
"'Do you remember me,' he said. 'I'm Bert Williams, you came to my house to do an interview....'"
Ian told a similar tale.
"I remember the first time I met Bert - October 24th, 2007.
"We went round to his house to do a feature and the first thing he said was 'Thanks so much for coming.'"
It was that sort of selflessness that made Bert such a popular figure, way beyond his football ability alone.
The Cannock Chase Orpheus Male Choir gave up their time to perform during the service, clad in mixture of Wolves, Walsall and England scarves, whilst guest soloist Sharon Burns performed a powerful rendition of 'Somewhere over the rainbow'.
Wolves Vice-President Rachael Heyhoe-Flint delivered the bible reading, Bert's son in-law David Crawshaw read Joyce Grenfell's poem 'If I Should Go' while daughter-in-law Tanya relayed a poem written by Bert himself.
The poem, reflections on his own life, was entitled 'I Have Seen' and was completed with the line: 'My life has been a fulfilled dream, you can see how lucky I have been'.
In reality it was everyone else who felt lucky to have known Bert, to have been friends with him, played alongside him, watched him from the terraces.
The guest-list was as long as it was illustrious, both from Wolverhampton and beyond.
Before his passing Bert was England's oldest surviving England international, and the Football Association were represented today by Managing Director of Club England Adrian Bevington and FA Board member Mervyn Leggett, with the Birmingham and Staffordshire FA's also in attendance.
The 1966 World Cup winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks, also a close friend of Bert, also attended the service among a group of past and present glovemen including Malcolm Finlayson, Fred Davies, Phil Parkes, Mick Kearns and Wayne Hennessey, who travelled back from new club Crystal Palace to pay his respects.
Matt Murray, who grew close to Bert during his own career, was unavailable to be present but had attended and spoken at the private family funeral which took place last week.
There was a delegation from Bert's first club Walsall who travelled across the Black Country, as well as Wolverhampton Mayor Councillor Milkinder Jaspal and leader of the council Roger Lawrence.
Molineux officials present included Chief Executive Jez Moxey, Director John Gough, Club Secretary Richard Skirrow, and Vice-Presidents Baroness Heyhoe-Flint and Steve Bull.
And the Reverend Andrew Cullis, son of another Molineux legend in Stan, attended the service.
And the roll call of other former Wolves players not already mentioned? So many, including Ron Flowers, Peter Knowles, Derek Parkin, John McAlle, Mel Eves, Steve Daley, Ted Farmer, Gerry Taylor, Bobby Mason, Alan Jackson and Alf Crook.
That was the football, Bert Williams of Wolves, Walsall and England, while his later employment running a successful sports shop got several mentions as well as the incredible fundraising in memory of his wife Evelyn which raised £150,000 for the Alzheimer's Society.
But there was also plenty of time quite rightly afforded to Bert the family man, the man away from the football pitch and the spotlight, who worked so hard to provide for those he loved most.
Rev Wright read out some words from Bert's family, detailing his sense of humour, love of gardening in particular growing tomatoes, and love for animals and the countryside.
"Dad achieved so much in life, he lived life to the full, and he always said that anything was possible," said the address.
"To us, he was simply the best."
Rev Wright had said earlier about how someone in football had commented how Bert had come through a full game's duration in terms of '90'years – but also added an extra three, almost four, on top.
"That has sometimes been known as 'Fergie time', well for us it shall be known as 'Bert's time'," said the Wolves' chaplain.
And what a time it was, played out this afternoon in front of one final packed house of all those who loved and cherished him.
Yes, what a testimony it was.
Thanks for the memories Bert. Rest in Peace.

Download DDoS attacks continue to grow in size, frequency and complexity, forcing network-dependent companies to implement a plan for protection. However, the results of a recent research project by Forrester and Verisign show that many companies are experiencing a disconnect between the growing awareness of DDoS attacks and a protection strategy. Additionally, many organizations overlook the connection between DDoS protection and other infrastructure support, such as DNS hosting and management. This report provides an overview of the results of this research, and highlights how both DDoS and DNS tie directly into key business initiatives like customer experience and resiliency, and provide guidance for IT security and operations professionals on changes for processes and technology to improve DDoS attack readiness.

(noun) the lack of pigment in one's skin due to infrequent exposure to sunlight as a result of playing video games. Most applicable during the summer months, a gold farmer's tan is the sign of staying inside on what would be considered a beautiful day. The term is not limited to those of fair complexion as it corresponds more to the actions of those who forego spending time outside for the comfort of the indoors. Origins of the term point back to a farmer's tan in which one's exposure to sunlight is limited to the forearms and neck. The other part comes from gold farming which is the practice of spending inordinate amounts of time in virtual game environments for the purpose of monetary gain. Both terms, when combined, take on a new meaning as a pejorative for the actions of heavy video game users.
The forecast for the next week is all above 90°F, looks like my brother will be working on his gold farmer tan.

First Time at a Bed and Breakfast?
"Not a problem. You're gonna love it!" -Dave
"I was skeptical at first but I loved my stay at Bernadine's Stillman Inn. It was my first B&B experience and I plan on always staying in a B&B when I travel. I really liked coming to breakfast in my robe and Dave & Bernadine made us feel right at home!" -Chicago Police Officer 2004
It can be a little intimidating staying in "someone's home," but once you try it, you'll see it's so much better than any other lodging option. First-time B&B guests have several concerns, and we'll try to clear up some of the misconceptions and give you tools to use when selecting a B&B that will assure you a successful visit.
[Read Details…]
Most Frequently Asked Questions
The most frequent concerns we hear are "I will feel like I'm intruding on the family that lives there" and "I won't have any privacy." The size of the B&B or inn has a lot to do with the answers to those questions. For example, here at Bernadine's Stillman Inn, we have 6,700 square feet of living space. We have our private quarters on the third floor and in the lower level. At no time do the guests walk through our private living areas. We have a large parlor where we serve breakfast and it has a seating area where guests can meet if they'd like. That is where we serve our cookies, popcorn, evening cordials and more. We are fortunate that this room is located at the back of the inn, so a guest can choose to mingle or not. We once had a couple check in for a 4-day stay. Except for at check in we never saw them again. They didn't want to come to the parlor for breakfast and enjoyed total privacy during their stay. If you see that the B&B is like an average ranch size home, then you may end up going through the innkeepers' living room to get to your bedroom. They expect this and are usually comfortable with it. Feel free to ask your innkeeper what the situation is in their B&B!
How To Choose A B&B
Click on "How to Choose A B&B" for a handy guide you can use when selecting a B&B. This has helped many of our guests to think about comfort issues they may not have thought of asking. Print it out and use it whenever you are searching for a B&B. This helps cover some of the most basic questions and begin to make you feel more comfortable about your choice.
Questions like:
- Do they have private bathrooms?
- Is there a TV in my room?
- Is there off-street parking?
- Are there locks on the bedroom doors?
- Who do they cater to: Businessmen, girlfriends, romance, etc.? That will tell you much about how they decorate, serve, etc.
Two Best Tips when choosing a B&B
- Be sure to look at the B&B's website. They should have one, and it should show pictures of the house, the grounds and rooms, prices and hopefully a picture of your hosts. This is very handy to check out the décor. Make sure it is decorated in a style you're comfortable in.
- Next, call the innkeeper. If they are friendly and welcoming on the phone they will usually be that way in person. Do they seem interested in taking your reservation, or are you bothering them?
B&B Guest Etiquette & Interesting B&B Facts
I haven't seen one B&B or inn that has a full-time receptionist checking people in and answering calls 24 hours a day 7 days a week. B&Bs typically are small family-run businesses with an average of 5 rooms to rent. Whoever owns the business usually answers the phones, checks you in and makes you breakfast. If you are calling a B&B, it would be helpful to do it after the busy breakfast rush (usually 10:30am) and before 9pm at night. If you call in the middle of the night, you will most likely be waking the owner up.
More and more B&Bs are providing online reservation requests for you night owls. On average, a B&B owner will check their reservation requests and emails one to four times a day. I don't know any yet who can afford to hire someone to sit at the computer waiting for an email to respond to! Sometimes we go through busy seasons that keep us from responding as quickly as we'd like. Email is not perfect and sometimes we never receive an email someone says they have sent, and sometimes people don't receive our emails. So if it's a property you're really interested in and you don't get a response via email, try one more time!
You should be given a key to come and go as you please. This would be another good question to ask before making your reservation.
Cancellation policies are tough. Having only a few rooms to rent, if a guest cancels at the last minute it is very unlikely an innkeeper will be able to refill that room meaning they lose the income. That is why most inns have strict cancellation policies and enforce them. Be sure you know their policies before making the reservation. Think of how upset you'd be if they didn't keep their end of the contract and the guaranteed room wasn't available for you when you arrived.
Why a two-night minimum? Many B&Bs have a two-night minimum on the weekends. This is because if a lot of people were to come in on a Friday, then they would not get there until late and do not want to pay for a room if they don't check in until say 10pm. They'd rather get an early start Saturday morning and hopefully check in early. The problem is if a B&B rents only a Saturday night, then they will more than likely not be able to rent the Friday night. B&Bs generally don't make a lot of money and live for the weekends. Taking a one night only would cut the income for that room in half, and most B&B's can't stay in business that way.
Be sure to let your innkeepers know if you plan on bringing a pet. Some B&Bs will allow you to bring your pet but most won't. There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is because a lot of times we get a guest who is allergic to animal hair, and there is simply no easy way of getting rid of every little hair Fido leaves in a room.
Be sure to ask if breakfast is included. Believe it or not some B&Bs don't serve breakfast, or some don't serve breakfast midweek, so be sure to ask. There are a few basic types of breakfasts that a B&B will serve. In most B&Bs, you have no food choice. You get what they serve. Ask beforehand what they are planning to serve. Let them know ahead of time if you have any food allergies.
Family Style – everyone sits down together at a specific time (usually 8:30am) and gets served plates of food to pass around which could vary from one entrée to three, fruit, juice, coffee, etc. Sometimes your plate will be prepared and delivered to you. You generally don't have a choice of what you will have.
Continental – You show up during a specific span of time and enjoy fruit, pastries, coffee, juice, muffins and breads. It depends on the B&B, but a continental breakfast is usually limited to these types of items.
Buffet – You show up during a specific span of time and enjoy a variety of casseroles, fruits, breads, pastries, cereal for example. Better be there early because the food can run out or get dried out pretty fast.
Made to Order – Here at Bernadine's Stillman Inn and an embarrassingly few other B&Bs, you arrive during a certain period of time whenever you'd like, and we take your order after serving you hot coffee and orange juice. We offer two entrees every day (one egg recipe like omelets and one syrup recipe like pancakes) and you can have one or the other or both. You get to keep ordering until you are full and your food is hot off the griddle. Pastries and fruit are also available, and we rotate our menu daily.
Breakfast in bed Some B&Bs offer this service, and some charge a small fee for the preparation, setting up of a place to serve you in the room, delivery, clean up, etc. Breakfast in bed can be fun, but the real treat of staying at a B&B is the pampering and service that can go into the event. A good innkeeper will make comfortable introductions and get the conversation rolling! I encourage you to give communal dining a try. It's what we specialize in!
Will the innkeeper be there for breakfast? Overwhelmingly our guests want to meet the innkeepers and are disappointed with their visits to other inns where they did not get to meet them. If this is important to you, then this would be another great question to ask your host before making the reservation.
Does the innkeeper live on site? The majority of the innkeepers we know live on site. A small percentage hires someone in to stay at the house or to come to make breakfast for you. Many towns require that the B&Bs be owner occupied. We always love it when the innkeeper is around when we stay at a B&B. No one else cares about the place as much as the innkeeper, and you usually get better service when they are there. But then again, we've stayed at places with no one living there and that can be fun as well!
Staying at a B&B can be very relaxing and great fun. We have many return guests that have made Bernadine's Stillman Inn their "Home away from Home" and we just love seeing familiar faces. If you ask the right questions and take time in selecting a B&B that fits your style, then we are certain you will never stop choosing a B&B wherever you travel!
It's been a pleasure helping you sort through the facts, and we hope we can meet you one day!
Have you ever made reservations to stay somewhere but when you got there, things were not everything you expected? Here at Bernadine's Stillman Inn, we want you to enjoy your stay as well as get everything you expected. Please use our How to Choose a Bed and Breakfast form to compare Bernadine's Stillman Inn to other bed and breakfasts you may be considering while visiting Galena.

just starting to get some bees. i work in a apple orchard every year there are 7-8 swarms this year there was a old bee box so i got me a swarm and put in box what do i do next
thjank you leo
Hello Leo,
The first step you took was great, you caught the swarm and put it into a hive. Hopefully it was a clean one, clean as in not contaminated by AFB or EFB, (American Foul Brood or European Foul Brood.) Now I have a couple of questions. 1. Was there any frames of foundation or drawn comb in the "Bee Box"? If not, you will need to put some in there. 10 frames of foundation if that is all you have. Nine or ten of drawn comb, which ever you prefer to work with. If possible and you know of a bee keeper in the area, get a frame of brood from him or her and put that in the hive, (make that one of the nine or ten if you do that) This tends to make the bees stick around if they have brood to tend. 2. How long have they been in the hive if you have not put any foundation or drawn comb in there? A swarm is a comb building machine after they reach thier new home so if they did not have frames to work on and it has been a few days now, there will probably be comb build all over the place in the box. If so, I guess all you can do is scrap it out and put in your frames. 3. Is there a good honey flow on up there in Washington State now? If so, then you should not have to feed sugar, but it would'nt hurt if you did. They need something to keep building comb. There is probably a dozen other things that I am not telling you that you should do, but this is basically a start. Hopefully others here at this site that are much more experienced than me will give you some good info. There is a lot of good links at the Beesource with helpful info for bee-ginners. Best of luck with your hive.
thank you dbark you are the only one to help me.i put a bee box and then put some frames in then put a box on top with frames with wire on them. yesterday i looked and the bottom box is a little more then half filled with wax and honey a few are stating on top box.do i need to put a wire and then one more bee box
thank you leo

The automotive training program at Pulaski Technical College's Saline County Career Center in Bauxite has received certification by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation and The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.
The center's automotive program has been certified in the following areas: brakes, electrical electronics systems, engine performance, and suspension and steering.
To achieve this recognition, the school's automotive training program underwent rigorous evaluation by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF). Nationally accepted standards of excellence in areas such as instruction, facilities, and equipment were used.
"This is great news for automotive-minded young people and their parents," said Donald Seyfer, NATEF chair. "Because this program increases cooperation between local education and industry leaders, it gives added assurance that Saline County Career Center's graduates will be employable entry-level technicians. As a result of the quality education provided by Saline County Career Center, the motoring public will benefit since better repair technicians will join the work force."
Upon completion of the evaluation, NATEF recommended that Saline County Career Center be certified by The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). ASE is a national non-profit organization which tests and certifies repair technicians, in addition to certifying automotive training programs.
"During the past few months, we have worked closely with NATEF to make certain that our program would meet strict industry standards, and now we are glad to be a NATEF-certified training program," said Zeke Woodard, one of the automotive technology instructors at the Saline County Career Center. "Students will be assured of a quality education, and shop owners will be assured of getting quality entry-level technicians."
About 85 students from Bryant, Benton and Bauxite high schools are enrolled in Pulaski Tech's automotive training program at the Saline County Career Center.
Students learn tasks essential for entry-level work in the automotive technology field, such as mounting and balancing tires, diagnosing and repairing brake systems, changing fluids, diagnosing and repairing parts of a suspension system, diagnosing simple electronic circuits for faults, and minor engine diagnosis.
"The NATEF certification allows the student to carry this credit to any other NATEF-certified program," Woodard said.

Geminid meteor shower 2012: shooting stars peak thursday
"Button up your overcoat...
Get to bed by three...."
With apologies to Helen Kane, who made those song lyrics famous in 1929, you may want to stay up late tonight or get up early Friday morning, even as winter approaches. The Geminid meteor shower peaks tonight -- usually one of the best of the year, and early indications are that it's already putting on a good show.
Earth is passing through the orbit of an asteroid called 3200 Phaethon, and astronomers think we're seeing its debris -- shooting stars, more than 50 per hour, many of them no larger than grains of sand, burning up as they plow into the atmosphere.
Scientists think the Geminids could have some extra punch this year. There is a comet called 46P/Wirtanen, discovered in 1948, and we could pass through the trail of debris from its orbit tonight as well. It would be the first time on record -- two meteor showers at once.
"Dust from this comet hitting Earth's atmosphere could produce as many as 30 meteors per hour," said Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office on the NASA Science News page.
A little quick arithmetic -- 50 plus 30 per hour -- means it could be a lively night in the sky.
Astronomers say it's worth watching after 9 or 10 p.m. local time, and the seeing gets better after midnight, since the morning side of the Earth is the one that faces forward as we travel around the sun. Conveniently, there's a new moon -- nothing bright in the night sky to blind you to the sometimes-faint shooting stars.
The Geminids, which happen this time of year like clockwork, are an oddity. Most major meteor showers -- the Perseids in August, the Leonids in November -- have occurred for thousands of years, caused as Earth passes through clouds of debris left by passing comets.
But the Geminids only appeared in the 1860s. Not until 1983 did astronomers find 3200 Phaethon, in a lopsided orbit that crosses our own and also brings it close to the sun -- close enough, they theorize, that the sun's heat cracks it and kicks up dust, which, over time, has spread out along the asteroid's path.
The worst thing for sky watchers about the Geminids is that the air is often cold and crisp -- but the best thing for sky watchers about the Geminids is that the air is often cold and crisp. You may have to bundle up, but if the sky is clear, it's very clear.
Be alert; most meteors streak by in a second or less, sometimes in clusters. They could appear anywhere in the sky, though they'll appear to come from the constellation Gemini the twins. Gemini is just north and to the left of the familiar stars of Orion, and will be highest in the sky around 2 a.m.
The best way to see meteors is to find a nice, dark place with no street lights and as few trees as possible, and look up. You may be happiest in a lawn chair or a sleeping bag; something hot to drink may be nice, too.
No other equipment is needed. A telescope or binoculars will just narrow your view. While the shower actually peaks tonight, meteors are often spotted several nights before and after. Friday night may be almost as good as Thursday.
So if the weather is clear and you don't have something urgent in the morning, you may want to, er, button up your overcoat and stay up. Past three if you like.

The 'Armed Man' comes home - Friday, 17 September 2010
Royal Armouries is delighted to be collaborating with Sing Live UK on three performances of The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace by Karl Jenkins.
The Royal Armouries commissioned Jenkins to write the piece to mark the end of a millennium ravaged by wars and to create a legacy of peace and hope for the future.
Jenkins was writing the mass as the tragedy of Kosovo unfolded. This daily reminder of the horror of such conflicts, prompted him to dedicate the work to the victims of the crisis.
The Armed Man has captured the public's imagination and topped the classical CD charts several times since its release on the day after 9/11.
Sing Live UK will perform the piece in York Minster (29 October) and Coventry Cathedral (12 November) but the concert at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds on Sunday 7 November truly brings The Armed Man home.
The mass has never before been performed at the Museum and the presence of the nation's collection of arms and armour, left behind by 'armed men' from across the ages, will certainly add to the poignancy of the occasion.

No chance but they certainly will top 100+ easily in most of their games. Any football fan will tell you that the 49ers run attack is for real and has to be the #1 priority to stop first before Alex Smith.

Interesting bean recipes?
I kind of love dried beans. I buy them by the sackful, all different colours. I find their shiny rattly smoothness appealing. But I have only three or four recipes for them. So my cupboards are overflowing.
I had great good luck on here before, asking for a simple creamy beans recipe. Now I'm wondering if you can just give me your favourite bean recipes, no holds barred, as faffy as you like, to help me make a dent in this bean mountain. Mains, sides, soups, whatever you like.
I currently have cannelini beans, black beans and "white kidney beans" (don't ask me, they look like big cannelini beans) but I always feel one bean is much like another, with very few exceptions, so recipes for all varieties are welcome.

Re: Interesting bean recipes?
French market soup is my favorite because it's a mix of many different beans together. It's a variety of dried beans cooked with
I use 1 lb of dried beans.
1 large onion chopped
1 bell pepper chopped
3 stalks celery chopped
3 cloves minced garlic
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
You can use any meat to flavor it, but i usually use salt pork or ham.
I saute the first three veggies together with a little oil. Add it to the almost cooked beans. Add meat, garlic, bay leaf and finish cooking. Salt and pepper to taste.
Sorry it's not more precise but it's a fairly easy soup and you can add any herbs you like.

Hmmm just noted that red kidney beans and chickpeas are the ones you haven't got! But I am like you and find I can interchange, and I prefer the Nigerian stew above when made with black beans. I hope you like it!
I think the white beans would work well in the chickpea recipes.

Re: Interesting bean recipes?
If you do get some red kidney beans , I will suggest rajma too. Although respectfully to Joy I would suggest this recipe instead. I use the term recipe somewhat loosely as the responder to the question I asked just gave a general outline of the how assuming a certain level of ability to judge amounts.
http://forums.egullet.org/topic/140303- … try1836798
check out her blog page at the bottom of that post for some great vegetarian indian recipes that are more specific.
I make this rajma every so often and in fact earlier this week was saying that I needed to buy some small red kidney beans to make it again soon. The ghee is key though, and a good amount of ginger and a not overpowering hand with the other spices. I don't think she mentioned it specifically but the order of adding the spice early to the browned onions and ginger before the toms is key in that those kinds of dried spices just taste better if they are fried/cooked out before liquid is added.

Re: Interesting bean recipes?
I love all beans! Last night I made sauteed canellini beans with spigariello (a type of broccoli rabe that I blanched first) with garlic, olive oil and chili flakes. It accompanied a salmon filet. You could use kale or spinach instead if you can't find spigariello or any dark leafy green.
For the Superbowl I served a black bean dip made with onions, garlic, cumin, cilantro, olive oil and a touch of vinegar. It was especially good with tortilla chips.
Most Texans would argue with me but I like to add beans to my chili, along with diced bell peppers.
I always have black beans or red kidney beans in my fridge, I have a salad for lunch every day and they make a great addition scattered in.

I love all beans! Last night I made sauteed canellini beans with spigariello (a type of broccoli rabe that I blanched first) with garlic, olive oil and chili flakes. It accompanied a salmon filet. You could use kale or spinach instead if you can't find spigariello or any dark leafy green.
I make something similar to this, but i use Kale instead. We usually have it growing in the garden in the summer.

Re: Interesting bean recipes?
Ooh, thanks everyone!
Actually I do have chickpeas, I just didn't mention them because I don't find it so hard to come up with ideas for them. Also I don't class them with "beans", they seem more like a kind of pea to me.

Kobe Bryant (wrist) is taking a numbing injection before every game.

Yikes. We knew Bryant's wrist injury was bad,
but the fact that he has to get the injections before every game is not
exactly an encouraging sign for his long-term outlook. Bryant has shown
that he's willing to play through pain, but it's obvious that the
problem isn't going away anytime soon. He's shooting just 41.7 percent
from the floor through seven games, tying his rookie season for the
worst mark in his career.

Stephen Abraham to Speak on "The Mistakes of Guantanamo and the Decline of America's Image: The Ghosts of Nuremburg," Oct. 29
DETROIT (Oct. 16, 2008) - Wayne State University Law School is pleased to present a lecture by Stephen Abraham, an American lawyer and officer of the United State Army reserves, titled "The Mistakes of Guantanamo and the Decline of America's Image: The Ghosts of Nuremburg." The event is sponsored by the Wayne Law International Law Students Association and will take place from 12:15 – 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2008, in the Law School's Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium. Lunch will be provided.
Lt. Colonel Abraham is the first officer who served with the Office for the Administrative Review of the Detention of Enemy Combatants to publicly criticize the operations of the Combatant Status Review Tribunals. The Tribunals determine whether the United States should continue to hold detainees at Guantanamo Bay. His affidavit was key to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Boumediene v. Bush (2008), holding that Guantanamo detainees may challenge their detention in federal court through a writ of Habeas Corpus. Lt. Colonel Abraham has served 22 years in Army Intelligence and is known for his meritorious service record.
This lecture is free and open to the public, and parking is available in Structure #1 across from the Law School on Palmer Street (corner of Cass) for $3.50.
For more information on this event or the International Law Students Association, please contact Fadwa Alawieh at email@example.com.

A household includes all the people who occupy a housing unit. (People not living in households are classified as living in group quarters.) A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live separately from any other people in the building and which have direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. The occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated people who share living arrangements.
