'You'll never see your grandchildren again': Social worker's warning to couple after they spoke out over gay adoption row

Phone call: Social worker Heather Rush allegedly told the two children's grandparents that they will have no more contact after speaking out
A social worker at the centre of the gay adoption row told the children's grandparents they will never see them again because of the publicity surrounding the case.
Heather Rush telephoned the youngsters' 26-year-old mother after the family publicised their grievances with her council department.
Mrs Rush allegedly said the price they will pay for speaking out is complete loss of contact with the five-year-old boy and four-year-old girl.
The children's mother, who had been due to meet the two adoptive fathers under social workers' supervision next week, took the call from Mrs Rush on Wednesday.
The mother, who cannot be identified, said: 'She asked me if I had seen the paper and said "it does not make very good reading".
'I said I didn't think it was right that she was not letting me meet the fathers because of the story going in the paper and that she should speak to my Mum and Dad.
'She said, "No, just pass the message on." She said she didn't want to speak to them but there would be no recommendation for them to see the children twice a year.'
Last week Mrs Rush had told the grandparents they would be allowed to see the boy and girl if they gave the gay adoption arrangements their blessing.
But now the 39-year-old - who has two children herself by different fathers - appears adamant that even if they do accept the arrangements they will not be given access.
The forced adoption of the children by two gay men - and the council's decision to ignore their grandparents' request to care for them - has provoked fierce debate.
An Edinburgh councillor described the call to the vulnerable mother, who is currently taking methadone in an attempt to kick her drug habit, as 'unprofessional, inappropriate and unacceptable'.
Jeremy Balfour, a Conservative, said: 'It is not an acceptable way to treat people. It seems to me to be a case of throwing toys out of the pram.
'I don't think such a call could be motivated by the best interests of the children.'

An Edinburgh council spokesman last night denied that a social worker told the mother her parents would never see the children again.
Gillian Tee, Director of Education, Children and Families, said: 'We have no reason to doubt that the staff who have worked on this case have handled it with anything other than professionalism and sensitivity. We have not received a complaint from the family.'
Social workers gave the young mother just 90 minutes to say goodbye to her two children before they were taken away forever.
The mother was allowed to take her young son and daughter to Edinburgh Zoo before they were separated.
The mother earlier told the Mail: 'They told me not to cry and be strong so as not to upset the children.
'How can you tell a mother that when she's never going to see her children again?'
She added that the children themselves said they wanted to stay with their grandparents. She is unable to care for them as she is a recovering heroin addict.
The boy's father was a schizophrenic who killed himself two months before his son was born. The girl's father is still alive but has had nothing to do with his daughter.

Re: 'You'll never see your grandchildren again'
I really can't stand this stuff, take them to the zoo and then 90 minutes before nothing? I can't imagine it. For complaining, the grandparents are banned? NO WAY!!!!!!! There is such a huge prejudice about drugs. Sounds also like the social worker has a big problem with non gays.

Re: 'You'll never see your grandchildren again'
In the UK social services have quotas. They have to adopt out a minimum number of children per annum which was recently doubled. When they can�t find enough children, to fulfil their quotas, they take anyone they can get their hands on.
Because family courts are so secretive here, there is very little anyone can do about it, and appealing is near enough impossible.
Some children are more valuable than others, because it is easier to find parents for them.
They want white, healthy young ones. They will remove them whether they need removing or not. While black, older and disabled are left in abusive families, where many are killed.
This is because social workers feel these children won�t help them fulfil their quotas. Perspective parents don�t want them. And taking them away will be detrimental to their budgets because until they are adopted if at all, they would have to be kept in foster homes which cost �300 a week per child, or care homes which costs more!
I think these cases of children being taken away when they shouldn�t have shouldn�t be viewed on their own. We should keep in mind children which should have been taken away, and weren�t.
It is all about quotas and budgets.

Re: 'You'll never see your grandchildren again'
As I mentioned before, family court hearings are held in secret. It is illegal for anyone to speak about what happens in family courts.
This includes parents who lose children. So if parent loses a child and tells the press they would be arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned.
So, I�d say the majority of people are ignorant of social services and family courts.
All people hear about are the few cases that reach the press, so assume they are anomalies, that are sorted out by slapping the rests of a few escape goats. But people don�t realise, what they read about are not anomalies, they are the norm. What is the anomaly is the fact that they have reached the press despite all the safe guards the government has placed to make sure it doesn�t.
As mentioned in the case, the grandparents wanted the child, and were fit to look after the child. They were offered two visits a year. Because they publicized what happened, they were left with no visits.
That�s why most of the times things like this happens, no one finds out about it, because there is nothing to gain by fighting the social services and everything to lose by it.
The only way to win, and keep the child is to get the child out of the country before social services take it.
That�s what pregnant women do when social services tell them that they will take the baby as soon as the cord is cut.

Re: 'You'll never see your grandchildren again'
That is shocking, arrested if they talk? It will be worth it to talk. I say go ahead and risk arrest if they are that evil. The present system must be overhauled and soon. I wonder if that was behind my friends daughters problems, though they are apparently going to give her son back, it hasn't happened yet...she has son #2 and has from day 1, argh.

Almost 43 years after moving to Birmingham from Jackson, Miss., The SEC moved into its current headquarters on October 15, 1991. The building is now named for Roy F. Kramer, the SEC's sixth commissioner who retired in July 2002.
During his tenure as the league's commissioner, the SEC won 85 national championships and distributed more than $654 million in revenue back to its member institutions.
The 30,000 square-foot building was provided by the city of Birmingham. It was designed to house the SEC staff and accommodate the needs of the various committees, coaches and administrative groups that meet on a regular basis. From its headquarters, the SEC office certifies the eligibility of all student-athletes, manages championship events, enhances academic opportunities for student-athletes, monitors NCAA and SEC compliance, coordinates officiating assignments, negotiates television contracts, distributes conference revenue, cultivates corporate sponsorships and coordinates media and public relations efforts.
In 2005, a state-of-the-art video command center was built inside the headquarters and named for the late Brad Davis, the SEC Associate Commissioner who was responsible for its development. Davis passed away on March 2, 2006.
The building also features a rotunda that highlights school banners, championship pedestals and two galleries displaying the member institutions.
Former SEC Headquarters
Standard Life Building (1940-1948), Jackson, MS
Redmont Hotel (1948-67), Birmingham, AL
Central Bank Building (1967-88) Birmingham, AL

Obviously you have the officiating bias, number of penalties and yards penalized,
Who did what? Womack changed the schedule.
Why? Sure, he's a TUAT alum, but why did he do it, what's his explanation?
The head of SEC officiating is a Bamd grad/homer - big surprise there too.
not surprising from the sec and why i wouldn't be against leaving. the sec doesn't even try to make sure bias shite doesn't happen.
Meet Mark Womack
So what? If it comes down to Bama and LSU having one loss, LSU will win by strength of schedule in the BCS.

Thanks to Clinton ( this is declassified ) we have an under water listening system hooked to
computers that can identify any ship under or above water and its location if its maintained
but the genie is out of the bottle now. just like the cell phone thing so the bad guys might have a way around it now. I'd more afraid of a cell from Mexico with NBC training. Our boarders are sieves.


text: I'd say it's worth it. The game is well polished and there is definitely a lot to do and explore. All the classes are fun and unique. Not everyone plays the game for 200 hours like some, but for all it has, the items, the classes, the monsters, the story, the difficulty, the levels, farming/grinding, etc etc. I'd say it's worth $60.

Social judgement is the proces of making a judgement in a social context, this may be of physical measurements in a social situation as with the Asch conformity experiments. judgements of other people as in personality judgements or of complex moral and ethical judgments as in the Stanford prison experiment and Milgram experiment. Generally speaking social contexts add to the difficulty of making sound and accurate judgments, leading to judgment disturbances.

Why is the extra onramp lane from the port on to the Southern Motorway dedicated to trucks only? Other onramps where truck movements are high, such as at Mangere Bridge, Onehunga and Penrose (end of Church St), are dedicated to trucks and cars with more than two occupants. Any idea on why the difference? Mike Lambert, Auckland.
It's a matter of gradient. The Transport Agency provided the dedicated lane up Grafton Gully to give trucks a clear, if slow, run to the Southern Motorway and reduce the likelihood of trucks having to stop and start on the incline. It also helps keep them out of general traffic lanes so that vehicles which handle the climb better aren't hindered. If more vehicles were to use the truck lane, the advantage would be lost.
Most Auckland houses have two TV aerials - a large VHF one and a smaller compact UHF one. Can you confirm that late next year, when the analogue service is switched off, the VHF aerial will become redundant and will never be used again? What can we do with the old aerial? It seems a waste to put it out for inorganic collection.
Surely they should be recycled. Auckland probably has a few hundred thousand of them. Tony Cooper, Auckland.
Information I have gathered indicates that the old VHF aerials will almost certainly never be used again.
As for recycling Michael van der Merwe, New Zealand business manager for Sims Recycling Solutions, advises that the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, who are managing the roll-out of digital television, has teamed up with the NZ Lions Clubs to recycle VHF aerials as a form of fundraising so you can donate your old one to them. If this doesn't appeal, the aerials can be sold to any Sims Pacific metals branches in New Zealand for the value of the metal in their construction.
Can you find out what has happened to the TV G-code numbers that we use to set up our recorders? They seem to have been omitted from the TV listings around the time of the new style Herald release. Where can they now be found? Greg Pittams, Mt Roskill.
Russell Baillie, the Herald's entertainment editor, says there are three reasons to drop the G-codes.
Historically, the codes were supplied by Hong Kong-based company Gemstar. Gemstar advised the Herald some months ago that they would stop production of the codes at the end of January 2013.
That news, in addition to the decrease in newspaper size from broadsheet to compact, provided an opportunity to declutter the television listings and make them easier to read.
The third reason is that the rollout of digital television across the country is reducing the usage of analogue VCRs and therefore the need for G-codes.
The Listener still provides G-codes in its listings for TV One, TV2, TV3 and Prime.

Pequot Lakes hires police sergeant
After several years of talking about hiring a police sergeant, the Pequot Lakes City Council on Tuesday, Sept. 3, agreed to offer the position to Chad Turcotte, a Crow Wing County Sheriff's deputy.
Police chief Eric Klang asked to hire Turcotte at $24.91 per hour, which is $1.20 per hour more than the council had previously set, or about $2,500 per year more.
Klang said that pay is still less than what area police sergeants earn.
Representatives from Pequot Lakes, Jenkins and Jenkins Township — all areas the Pequot Lakes Police Department covers — as well as from the State Patrol interviewed two candidates for the position.
"This is a very experienced officer," Klang told the council. "He's been involved in every facet of law enforcement and brings the knowledge and skills set to meet the expectations of a Pequot Lakes police officer."
Scott Pederson, council member, said Turcotte impressed him beyond expectations.
"He struck me as a person who pays attention to extreme detail and would make a very good manager," Pederson said.
Klang will include the salary in his 2014 budget. The council is in the process of setting budgets for 2014, and already decreased police overtime hours to 100, decreased police part-time officers' hours to 500 and decreased police office supplies by $1,500.
With the retirement of police officer John Ryan at the end of August, the department now has a chief, sergeant and four officers, as well as an office manager.
Spray irrigation lease
In other business Sept. 3, the council voted to terminate a spray irrigation lease agreement with Bill Tulenchik if the city doesn't hear from Tulenchik by Sept. 30.
Tulenchik has owed a lease payment of $5,000 since Jan. 1. The city has made several attempts to contact him regarding the delinquent payment.
Council member Dave Sjoblad said that considering the investment Tulenchik has made in the spray irrigation field, he wanted to give him another month to make the payment.
The lease agreement runs from January 2012 to December 2015 and allows for termination of the lease between Oct. 15 and Nov. 15 each year.
Tulenchik has held the lease agreement for many years. The lease requires him to plant and maintain a permanent cover crop on the property.
Planning and zoning
The council approved three related requests:
• Rezoned 4.27 acres of property adjacent to Sibley Lake on Pequot Lakes Boulevard from Shoreline Commercial to Shoreline Residential. The property owner plans to subdivide the property into three residential lots and two outlots.
• Approved the preliminary plat of Timber Ridge, as requested by Patrick J. Smith and Robert Rickard.
• Approved the final plat of Timber Ridge.
And draft planning and zoning meeting minutes show that commission granted a conditional use permit that Nathan Walberg requested for a used car dealership and computer repair business on Highway 371, with conditions.

I knew someone that had a coyote/dog and when the woman moved to a new house the coyote/dog kept going back to their old house . It did not like being moved around like a pet dog. The owner was not good with training her coyote/dog and did not understand anything about coyotes . I felt really bad for the poor animal . It wanted to be wild and not some trained house pet. The owner was treating the poor animal awful as it was not being a 'good' pet! I agree with everything you said 110% !
I loves wolves and I can't stand it when people mess with them and try to made 'pets' out of them because they think it cool. It is not cool at all for the wolves .
Tanja, I'm sorry but in my books that barely makes you experienced enough to own a some what difficult dog breed, no where close a wolf or wolf hybrid. It sounds like your expectations are completely wrong for this animal. They do not want human attention, they do not need it, they do not want it. You would not be doing a wolf or wolf dog any favour by treating it like a pet dog (taking it for walks, giving it love and attention, taking it out in the public) 100% all things you should never do with a wolf or wolf dog and things that would likely freak them out. This would be torture for this creature, they are much happier with their own kind in a reserve on their own with lots of free space to roam freely but safely. Your intentions seem very selfish and while you think you would be bing kind to a wolf dog and that in turn would make it happy and love you in return, you are not taking into consideration at all what they actually want and need. You are making up a fairy tale image. What you're doing is not only very dangerous, you would be harming another living creature for your own satisfaction so that you can show it off to other people and try to make it fall in love with you. I know you're not seeing it that way and your heart is in a good place, but that counts for nothing when what you're actually planning is harmful and alien to that creature.
What you're saying is like a kid saying I want a Goldfish so it can sleep in my bed with me at night and I will love it and hug it and kiss it and take it out to the sand box with me and it will then love me in return and be my best friend.
That's what dogs are for. Rescue a dog from a shelter and he will be forever grateful that you saved him.
chooci said it best I have been around real tame wolves before and they were NOTHING like my german shepherd. The sounds they made the way they moved they seemed much more cat like its hard to explain. They don't watch over you when you sleep, you dont just
LIke that coyote you see silently in your yard in the middle of the night. It is an animal you dont want to have in your house. Looking at in nature hunting moose and buffalo yes but not in your house and yard. I think it is cruel. Dogs have had 10 thousand years of domestication. A wolf should not be walking on a chain and leash. They should be out in the woods hunting with a pack of other wolves.
You can get sled dogs or nothern type dogs that look like wolves they are a handful to own but still they are dogs
And right NO police department is going to take a dog with wolf in it. Police import their dogs from the zcech and slovakia to get the proper traits for street or patrol work. These dogs cost thousands and thousands of dollers. THey come from the worlds best breeders. NO police man is going to accept a wolf dog as his k9 partner that is the most silly thing ever. WOlf dogs do not protect you, they do not do street patrol work nor will they do tracking they are not guard animals either, they are just wild predators. My dogs father is a street patrol dog in texas.
ALSO wolves are not dangerous in the wild because they are scared of us. When they lose that fear and turn domestic the danger level changes and a full grown mature wolf that has NO fear of humans and is fed by us can be a VERY dangerous animal.
IF you owned hundreds of acers of land and then fenced it in under ground and upper with a 10 foot gate curved inwards, provided daily road kill like a zoo type setting then you could be an ideal home I think, but if they ever get out and start to eat livestock you will be in huge trouble. A wolf can scale a 8 foot brick wall like it is nothing so can a small coyote. They have cat like agility and strange flexable limbs. A wolf when in a sprint can jump up to 5 meters across.

and food supply. The coyote came right up to my dog and me when we in the yard at 12 AM . The coyote was sniffing my dog butt when I looked down . I hate to think what would happen if I looked down one second later! That dog I wrote about was part wolf and GS . There was no reason for the policemen to lie to me about the dog being part wolf when I asked what kind of dog bite my boyfriend. The old lady did not tell me this , I only got her name address as I needed to get my b/f to the ER .
LOL, I met a lady on the trail with her three dogs last week. We walked back together and chatted and she told me about a coyote encounter she'd had on the same trail. She said it came right up behind her and acted like it wanted to play with her dogs, two of whom are little things. Yikes I said. And then I thought, was it maybe Lucy? Lucy my neighbours' GSD/Lab/Husky who sometimes gets down onto the trail before her people do?
In a way I hope it was Lucy. In a way I hope it wasn't. Lucy goes too far and someone could shoot her, she could be taken for a coyote. Or she could get hit. On the other hand Lucy probably wouldn't be fixing to eat those two small dogs.
ive run into coyotes a lot of times
Sometimes I also see mixed dogs running around in the bush from far they look like coyotes then they run up to us and clearly they just left their owner and are running around lol
Coyote population went up in the city I think all the extra food sources, i use to see them in my old yard when my dog wasnt outside, they bolt and hide fast though they dont seem to like confrontation.
Well my neighbour lady is a bit of nitwit, nice as she was. We are in a small rural village and there are coyotes all around us. Behind her house is a big unfarmed field. No crop has been taken off that field in the 32 years we've lived here. The coyotes congregate out there and we hear them singing at night, especially in fall and early summer as the pups mature.
She didn't know that. Here she was worried about her possible coyote encounter and she didn't know how close they are to her own house. I hope she doesn't let those little dogs outside on their own. She must not hear very well either, our house is not as close to that field and we hear them.
Do you agree with me? Coyotes sing. Dogs just bark. To hear the coyotes sing is a treat. I just wish the darn dogs would shut up.

Egypt's military signals impatience with president
CAIRO — Egypt's powerful military is showing signs of growing impatience with the country's Islamist leaders, indirectly criticizing their policies and issuing thinly veiled threats that it might seize power again.
The tension is raising the specter of another military intervention much like the one in 2011, when generals replaced longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak after they sided with anti-regime protesters in their 18-day popular uprising.
The strains come at a time when many Egyptians are despairing of an imminent end to the crippling political impasse between President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood group on one side, and the mostly secular and liberal opposition on the other.
The tug of war between the two camps is being waged against a grim backdrop of spreading unrest, rising crime and a worsening economy.
"In essence, the military will not allow national stability or its own institutional privileges to come under threat from a breakdown in Egypt's social fabric or a broad-based civil strife," said Michael W. Hanna, an Egypt expert from the New York-based Century Foundation.
"This is not an ideological army or one that seeks to destabilize civilian governance. ... But it is also not an army that will sit by while the country reaches the tipping point on the path to civil strife."
The latest friction began when a rumor circulated that Morsi planned to replace Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, his defense minister and the army chief, because of his resistance to bringing the military under the sway of the Brotherhood-dominated government.
El-Sissi may have angered Morsi last month when he signaled the military's readiness to step in, warning that the state would collapse if no solution was found to the political crisis. Pointedly, he also spoke of how the military faces a dilemma in marrying the task of protecting state installations in restive locations with its resolve not to harm peaceful protesters.
In another provocative comment earlier this month, el-Sissi was quoted as saying he would never allow the armed forces to be dominated by the Brotherhood, or any other group, stressing the military's national identity.
A Brotherhood spokesman, Yasser Mehrez, dismissed claims that the group sought to bring the military under its sway. "This is old talk that has been repeated over and over again," he said.
The rumor about el-Sissi's dismissal was widely suspected to be a trial balloon floated by the Muslim Brotherhood to gauge military and public reaction.
The military did not officially respond. But widely published comments attributed to an anonymous military source threatened that any attempt to remove the military's top commanders would be "suicide" for the government and spoke of widespread anger within the armed forces.
The source was quoted as saying the public will not accept any meddling in the military and will close ranks to counter any pressures or challenges.
The military distanced itself from the comments on a statement posted on its official Facebook page. But the situation was deemed serious enough for Morsi's office to issue a statement late Monday that appeared aimed at calming the military.
It reassured commanders of the administration's appreciation of the armed forces and said the president had confidence in el-Sissi.
But the statement, which blamed media for spreading "lies and rumors," may have done little to ease the tension.
"The two sides may be publicly dismissing reports of tension, but the army is making it very clear to the presidency that any attempt to dismiss el-Sissi would backfire," said military analyst and retired army Gen. Mohammed Qadri Said.
"They claim mutual love and respect, but what is happening is not indicative of this."
The military also handed Morsi a public humiliation when army commanders chose not to enforce a night curfew he imposed on three restive Suez Canal cities in riots last month.
In a direct challenge to the president, several top field commanders said they would not use force against civilians in the three cities. Residents openly defied Morsi by staging demonstrations during the curfew hours, playing soccer in the streets and setting off fireworks.
El-Sissi's top lieutenant, Chief of Staff Sedki Sobhi, delivered another implicit warning to Morsi and the Brotherhood this week.

Sgt Landon Miller is making a difference
Wear Red Friday hero
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - One man's push to help others is spilling over to save lives. Sgt Landon Miller is with the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team at Fort Carson. He is a go to guy when a phone or internet isn't working on post. Off post, he is also the go to guy when it comes to driving people home when they think they've had too much to drink. Miller tells me, "It makes me feel good to know that they went home safely. Someone is actually making a responsible decision and doing the right thing."
Sgt Miller volunteers with Designated Driver of Colorado Springs. Since April, he's volunteered more than 120 hours to drive people home after a night of drinking. Nonie Rispin is with this life saving organization. She tells me that Landon is the kind of volunteer she and her organization can count on, "He's one of those drivers I can absolutely count on 150 percent of the time."
Of the 812 people who've volunteered for the program, 95 percent of them are active duty military like Sgt Landon Miller. Most of this military group are also from Fort Carson.

text: Im not gonna lie I am happy to hear Austin is having his best off season so far. Yeah he has to prove it in pads but they all do and Nunn said that about pretty much everyone. But to hear Austin has come to compete and try to be productive makes me happy. He no doubt has the size strength power and even quickness to be a force, can he tap into it and put to use out there on the field??? That's the big question mark for Austin and can he stay healthy so he can be productive the entire year. I think if Austin proves himself and makes the final cut once pads are put on this Dline could be something special.

Queen race makes no resounding difference. Some italian stock will lay twice as much as Carniolan in the early spring. I have not been really impressed any more by the carnies than the regular old well mated italians.
>Queen race makes no resounding difference. Some italian stock will lay twice as much as Carniolan in the early spring. I have not been really impressed any more by the carnies than the regular old well mated italians.<
I guess it depends where you are. You're in Tennessee, I'm in northern Vermont.
What kind of honey do you make in Vermont? I am curious. We make tulip poplar, blackberry, clover, fruit blossom, sourwood, mtn. berry, sumac, and bamboo.
We get a nice progression of flows here, not each every year. In years when everything yields, we get a great crop. Starting in early May....
Willow, Dandelion, Fruit Bloom, Honeysuckle, Mustard, Brambles, Sumac, Clovers, Milkweed, Basswood, Sweet Clover, Purple Loosetrife, Goldenrod, Aster. Then the biggest and most dependable flow of all...
Snow! :-)
Is basswood as good as they say it is? I have never had the pleasure of tasting any. My favorite made down here is sumac. Something about its viscosity, amber color, and great flavor is delicious.
Michael: just stay away from the yellow snow~~~
>Is basswood as good as they say it is?<
Mmmm. Very good! Better than Sourwood! :-)
Basswood is a white honey, with a distinctive minty flavor. Makes awsome comb honey. Flow not always dependable. I've heard something about getting a flow every 7 years. Haven't seen that. We surely make Basswood more than once every seven years.
This year wasn't a Basswood year. Didn't even taste any in burr comb. Maybe in another year, I'll have some, and we can exchange.
Tom Glenn's endorsement of the Russian X VSH is food for thought. That
cross's offspring would be interesting to test: to see what kind of
combinations and colonies you'd have.
What's your rough colony yield figure for your breeders (VSHxCarni)?
Adam Finkelstein
Sounds like a good idea. The best of Vermont and the best of East Tennessee honey.
>What's your rough colony yield figure for your breeders (VSHxCarni)?<
They usually make the average, or close to it the first year from nuc. Second year the good ones make much more.
This year wasn't a great flow. I've been wrapping, and just from looking at the info I wrote on the backs, looks like this years nucs (made in July of '06) averaged near 100, with some totals of 80 to 120.
The colonies that were nucs a year or two ago, made up near 150. They make big colonies, which is what you need here to make honey.
What they really need is a Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) database website set up so that ARS and other reliable researchers can tell us more about gene-trait-environment relationships. Researchers in Tennessee and Maine have setup such databases for the mouse, and it is now possible for honeybees because we have a sequenced genome. This will advance the work of breeders greatly.
Is the 150 in lbs.? Would you please give figures based in gallons or supers so that I can compare. Or even a conversion ratio.
A deep super stuffed full is about 95 pounds of honey. A shallow super similarly stuffed is about 45 pounds. A medium runs in the range of 65 pounds. You can quibble about these weights a bit, some would say they are a bit high.
you can't just measure honey production, You must also measure how much honey had to be left for the bees to overwinter. It is common to leave 100 to 120 pounds for overwintering in the north and 45 to 65 pounds here in the south.
NW Alabama, 47 years, 22 colonies and growing, sideliner, treatment free since 2005, 14 frame square Dadant broodnest
I've weighed many supers of all sizes, when full, and after extracting. Deeps weigh about 80 pounds when full, and 20 after extracting. That works out to 60 pounds. Mediums have about 40 pounds of honey, while shallows have about 30. These weights are in supers where the combs are well puffed out with honey.
My bees are along the Canadian border in NY and VT. I leave about 80-90 pounds on for winter. On the backs of the hive, I record the honey produced, and the weight of the hive when I weigh...for each year. Quite interesting to follow a colony's records over the years. At a glance, you can see total production and sugar fed for each year.
A former inspector was helping me wrap last week, and we were comparing colonies. I was showing him the wisdom of NOT requeening every year. Some colonies produced big crops every year, some missed one year...when they requeened themselves...but produced big crops in the following years. Some produced big crops, but needed considerable amount of feed. Of course, some produced small crops a couple years in a row...these were either requeened, or split up into nucs for wintering. If I requeened by the calendar...ie annually or semiannually...I wouldn't be able to identify those colonies that go on from year to year producing big crops and requeening themselves when they need to.
Then there were those colonies that produced a big crop, and were way overweight. For instance...I remember one that produced 190 lbs this year, and weighed 220. Since my target weight is 160, that colony's production was 250. I don't figure the honey they need for winter into the production records...only what they make over that amount, or under that amount.
I agree with you on not requeening every year. I have a specific line of queens that came off of an outstanding queen from last year. There is no comparison to the production of the hives with these queens (the best of which produced near 30 gallons this year) to the queens I have got through the mail. The carniolans, I have also found do not lay carniolans. They lay italians. The commercial queens are therefore carniolan in genetic makeup, but mate with regular italian drones. Their offspring are not carniolan and do not seem to possess the advantages of Carniolans.

George Bugliarello
On January 6, 1998, a 100-year-old water main broke beneath Fifth Avenue in New York City. The rapidly escaping water eroded a crater that stopped traffic and many nearby businesses. Part of the surprise of this event lies in the multiple layers of infrastructure revealed below the street. But equally surprising is how intimately the vibrant, hurly-burly life of the city is intermingled with its devices and structures.
Pulling back from this crater, one sees that these interconnections form the rich tapestry of modern life. Here is a city where more than seven million people live, representing all the world's races, cultures and classes. Their lives revolve around a plethora of machines, from cellular phones and pagers to those water and sewer systems, telephone and electrical conduits and busy subway tunnels revealed when you slice down into the ground. The environment of New York City has become so artificial that residents probably could not survive as individuals or as a society without machines. In many such modern cities, the lines between people, social structures and various forms of technology meld together seamlessly. I call this kind of interaction a biosoma, because it is an indissoluble combination of biology, society and machines.
Technology, the process that human societies devised to produce and use machines, is itself the quintessential biosoma. The outgrowths of technology include the ability to modify our biology through genetic engineering, to escape earth's gravity through aerospace engineering and even to wipe out much of life on earth through nuclear warfare. Nuclear warfare, in fact, provides a clear example of a biosoma, because it requires a combination of people to make the bombs, social constructs that bring one faction against another and machines, including the bombs themselves and devices used to build and deploy them. If we think carefully, virtually every human activity—agriculture, commerce, education, health care, industry and more—depends directly or indirectly on our interactions as individuals with society and machines.
Despite the prevalence of such bio-socio-machine complexes, we rarely consider their broad implications. Nevertheless, our future depends on understanding the different characteristics, potentials and pathologies of the three elements of a biosoma and the opportunities that a well-guided synergism can offer.

"The Vistas surprised me by learning our first dance song! I was completely fine with just using an iPod, but when it came time for our dance, they started playing - and it. was. perfect. The rest of the songs? Just as amazing!! The have an incredible array of music and are very easy to work with. I am SO glad my planner suggested them. Definitely a highlight of the big day!"
Cakes/Candies Vendor:
Twenty Six DivineCharleston, SC, USA
"Delicious and beautiful! What else could you want for a wedding cake?! The owners of this small bakery are a husband and wife team, and if you visit the shop you feel like you are in your grandma's house the way the warmth from the oven and the most sincere and friendly owners greet you. Their menu goes far beyond cakes, too. They run an impressive little establishment and I'm so happy we got to work with them!"
Butcher & Bee654 King St
Charleston County, SC 29403, US
"They could not have done anything else to achieve perfection. #1, the food is amazing - they are a relatively new and small local restaurant and already they have become somewhat of a legend in a town of foodies and celebrity chefs. #2, they could not have been easier to work with, or more accommodating. They don't have a "pick Tier 1 or Tier 2" type of catering menu - nope! They actually do what you want (ummm... definition of "catering"!!) and even prepared a special meal of no salt/sodium for my ailing grandmother who is on a very strict diet, and being that she is averse to anyone knowing she might need "help", they made sure to prepare her a meal of the same thing everyone else was having, just without salt, so nobody could see a difference. I am just blown away by the hospitality of this company! I absolutely adore everyone at Butcher & Bee!!"
The Burlap Elephant
"Katie is so much fun to work with, and always so upbeat and helpful! I could NOT have found the amazing vendors I did without her expertise and knowledge! I adore her! Rebecca became the day-of coordinator, but she and I were in constant contact for more than a week beforehand! She would come to my office to deliver or pick up something, or meet whenever I was free - I had her on speed dial, and she ROCKED getting our day perfect!! Organized beyond belief and as OCD as I am, we got along great, and I could not be happier she was there for our special day!"
Oak Moss Photography
"Gary did our engagement session as well as the wedding, and we think of him as a friend! But, for all his brides, he offers a one-of-a-kind guarantee: he will be with you ALL. DAY. AND. NIGHT. Sure, some photographers will do that - for a price - otherwise they'll pack up and go whenever their shift is over. But Gary enjoys the art and enjoys being part of the festivities so much that he doesn't want money or time to get in the way of capturing all the special moments. He'll drive around all day getting bridal party preparations, then groom's preparations, and then be with you until you depart. He's an absolutely fantastic person, in addition to his incredible talent for photography!"

The quality, quantity,variety and prices cannot be beat, and everyone on staff was just a dream to work with! They happily made whatever changes happened on my whim even up to the day-of, and performed beautifully. :) (In a turn of events, one of the staff members at Ooh! left and joined my wedding planner to get more involved in the planning aspect. She and I got along so well that she became the wedding coordinator!)"

To Kk below, grow up and get real. Old enough to be their mothers I can say as an adult, let "him/her" cast the first stone. Having a 25 yr old Stunning Artist Daughter, EVERYONE makes mistakes. Few in this world find their other half and "True Love". With both my daughter and, I we have had our choice until the real "LOVE" arrived. Robert and Kristen are a perfect match and the Love they have is seen in their eyes. I knew when it finally happened on screen. Eyes don't lie.
In this imperfect world there will be temptations, especially to those who are Real Love. Face it, true happiness is hated by evil. When I heard about this director and Kristen it sickened me. NOT KRISTEN, by no means. She was manipulated by a creepy disgusting older man that used his position to make her vulnerable. He is the freak and Rob owes him a broken nose.
Sweet Kristen, keep your head up. Robert you have the right woman. Hold onto each other tight. You have that love everyone dreams about. Rob good for you to standing up to your family, my husband, the love of my life for 27 years stands up to his. Robert being a man I know you are, take your woman Kirsten and don't let other men take what you two have. Both my love and I have cheated sadly once each during 27 years, but neither one of us let it ruin our marriage and love.
This calling Kristen names and questioning Robert needs to stop by jealous ignorant fans.
Ya, I am from Utah, that tells about me. Robert and Kristen I am so proud of the two of you. I wish you everlasting happiness and Love!! Hugs to you both.

You guys, like a street walker, pardon me being so blunt. You sing to whoever pays, -one day – she is Trampire the next she is "the big thing".
These pics are great, thank to a photographer and a makeup artist.
what about her "no look" look when she dress herself?
she is desperately tries to stay afloat. how many movies she booked for this year? 1 ? maybe 1?
how many movies Rob booked for ? 5? all are already in pre-production? you do the math…
sure "simple white blouse and black bra"… sure she loves this look, like when she wore yellow neon bra under her white T and make out with Sanders..
she is a joke.. so 2012…

@ Kk, get over yourself, calling other people names is very juvenile. When Kristen is not on the red carpet, why should she have to put on all that make up?. She's a natural beauty. I wouldn't worry to much about Kristen finding a job because she's got a couple already. She really doesn't need to act because she has more than enough to live on for many years. She could be writing or also reading other scrips, who knows. Remember Kristen, take the best, forget the rest!

Everyone should realize that the magazine makes her up, the clothes, makeup, hair, she might have a small say in what she will and won't wear, but like most models the clothes and hair, etc. are done for them, did anyone else notice she was not wearing her beloved necklace from Rob.
But I think because of the position she was posing in, the necklace would be in the way, the photographers might have asked her to remove it for these shots, we will have to keep a look out when she reappears. Overall super hot look.

I think she looks absolutely beautiful, stunning, gorgeous and sexy. I love the look. She is a beautiful young lady. She has it all going on. @setha2z Kristen's hair is done by a hairstylist who is on the shoot. So that person did Kristen's hair the way the photographer and magazine people wanted it done for the shoot, so it is not Kristen herself who does her own hair for the shoot. It is the same for her makeup the makeup artist on the shoot does her makeup for her to match each outfit she wears. But I absolutely loved the photos of her and the wet hair look. I hope she has a good year ahead for 2013. She has it all going on.
Posted at 10:39 AM on January 3, 2013
What is great about Kristen is she will take risks with her styles and she gets the chance to see what look she really likes to go with. She looks good in almost every photo I ever saw her in. The only pictures I didn't feel good about is when she was so sad about being away from Rob. I hate to see her sad. Again I speak from experience. I know what a broken heart feels like and I know what remorse is. Thank God he forgives us before we can forgive ourselves. She is turning into a beautiful young woman and she has a great look no matter what. She has a wonderful long life ahead of her and I am sure she will continue to grow and be one of our most gifted actress of our time. (Not sucking up to anyone; the girl just has it going on…._

I'm a Kristen fan, but don't care for this look. I think her very best looks have been glam but like a lot of the others too. This one makes her appear to be a Sophomore tough girl in High School. I think she should dress her age. A little of the peeky-boo stuff is OK, but not so much as to dominate most ensembles. She should stay away from anything visible that looks like granny-panties. I think her very best look so far was at the Canadian showing of On The Road. While I'm at it, I wish Kristen would do something different with her hair. Don't know what. It will be fun to watch her progress. She's a gorgeous girl.
Go Kristen

Philadelphia Chapter Wins Decalog Lawsuit
The Freethought Society of Greater Philadelphia and plaintiff Sally Flynn won their federal lawsuit challenging a Ten Commandments plaque at the entrance to the Chester County courthouse, in a ruling handed down on March 6. The society, a chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, was represented by Stefan Presser of the American Civil Liberties Union. U.S. District Judge Stewart Dalzell, following a two-day trial in Philadelphia, issued a 25-page decision ordering removal of the 82-year-old bronze plaque engraved with the King James version of the Ten Commandments. "We cannot pretend that the tablet's words do not mean what they say, or forget the sincere religious impulse of both the donors and the donees in 1920," wrote Dalwell. The 50"x39" tablet advances and endorses "mainline Protestantism," he added. "Disestablishment is not a lonely First Amendment redoubt occupied only by some federal judges and a few malcontents. It is in historical fact as American as the free exercise of religion." Principal plaintiff Sally Flynn, 72, of Pocopson, told media she was "elated" over the victory. Presser commented: "I am convinced that this nation has been spared the kind of sectarian violence we've seen in Ireland, the Balkans, the Middle East and Afghanistan because of the Establishment Clause, which was vindicated today." The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Margaret Downey, chapter director, received a threatening phone call the day after the decision, from a man who laced his remarks with obscenities, and warned: "You're going to get it." "It was a pretty horrible phone call," Downey said. She retrieved the phone number from Caller ID and reported the threat to police. County officials condemned the threat. "I really do think this gives the lie to the commissioners' position that this is not a religious issue," Presser told the Inquirer. "People don't threaten to hurt other people over secular documents." Flynn testified she had been the target of harassment since the lawsuit was filed in October 2001, purchasing Caller ID devices and removing her name from her house and mailbox. Also testifying: Downey; Kalid Yahya Blankinship, chair of Temple University's religion department, a practising Muslim, and Rabbi Leonard Gordon, a former professor of comparative religion, who said the decalog carries less weight with Jews than the Talmud, and considers that the Commandments plaque shows a Christian orientation. During the trial, Presser pointed out that of 71 letters received by the Commission about the lawsuit, only one favored removing the plaque, while many supporters employed religious language, such as: "It is time for a Christian nation to stand up for its God-given rights." Presser said: "You would concede that these people don't see this as a secular issue." The Chester County Commissioners almost immediately voted to appeal the decision. While most similar lawsuits are challenging monoliths erected by the Fraternal Order of Eagles in the late 1950s and early 1960s, this violation significantly predates the religious campaign by the Eagles. A group called the Council of Religious Education in West Chester, a coalition of churches, installed the plaque in 1920.

is it normal and okay for ants (2 or 3 per frame side) to be inside a cell of freshly drawn comb . comb contains small amount of nectar.

NO. Ants and bees do not mix. A small amount of Borax laundry soap on the top bars will help drive the ants out. Borax can safely be used anytime of the year , even when the bees are producing honey. Ants really do no harm but they are a nuisance that the bees shouldn't have to deal with.
Happy beekeeping.

Sorry but borax is not legal treatment for ants in a beehive as it is a food and feed contaminate for both bees and man.
See FIFRA code Section 24(c).
Dee A. Lusby
Can Borax be used around the hive? This morning I put on the entrance feeders and this afternoon the ants are on the feeders. I've not had this problems in the past.
I'm very hesitant to use any pesticides around the hives but the ants look like they might be a nuisance all season. The hives are about 2 feet off the ground. Would a ring of Borax around the hive prevent ants?
I have not found Borax to be very effective against ants. Yes it kills them, but I have dumped gallons of hot water mixed with Borax on top of and around ant hills, only to kill all the grass and find the ants have expanded beyond the mound.
Why not just get rid of the entrance feeders? This is one of their shortcomings in my book. Too easy for ants and other intruders to gain access to the feed. Go with a method that gets the feed above the bees.
I also don't get bothered by seeing some ants coming and going from the hive. They pose no real threat to the bees. I have taken the outer cover off some hives to find black carpenter ants taking up residence. This is another story and I will destroy the ants by smashing most of them with my hive tool and knocking them off. Sometimes they will return, in which case I do the same thing again. I always win in the end!
> Would a ring of Borax around the hive prevent ants?
Borax in a hive would definitely be a bad idea because you would probably poison the bees as well as the ants. I've no idea whether it's legal in the States, but I've often killed ants by mixing a bit of it with jam and leaving it by the nest. A lot depends on what the ants are; I'm told that some parts of the States have species which can do real damage, but there's nothing like that in the UK, so I can't comment.

Miss Lusby,
could you forward me a copy of that particular FIFRA code Section 24(c)?
We have used borax to control ants in our hives for years with NO ill effects to man or bee.
Thank you.

I used some aluminum flashing and grease and fabricated some ant guards. The grease stops the ants and the flashing protects the grease. Maybe you can modify the idea to work for your hive/s. Check it out at http://users.inna.net/~ostrowsk/3page.htm
Good luck
What I have tried and seems to be working is, ant bait traps.I got the kind that the worker ant takes the bait/poison back to the ant colony,and wipes out the whole nest.
The entrance to the bait station is to small for the bees to get into,and I also set them away from the hives out of the way of the bees.Got them at the drug store.

Three former Arsenal players have been on the move in the build-up to the closure of the transfer window.
Striker Sylvain Wiltord has reportedly joined Lyon. The 31-year-old who was released by Arsenal and the end of his contract last season has signed a two-year deal with the French champions.
Wiltord, who scored 49 goals in 175 for the Club, had been training with Rennes. He could make his debut against that side in Lyon's next French League on September 11.
Elsewhere another former Arsenal striker, Jay Bothroyd, has linked up with Blackburn Rovers on loan.
Last season the 22-year-old was playing for Perugia and was the only Englishman in Serie A. He went to Italy after three seasons at Coventry. Ironically, he had left Highbury to join the Sky Blues at the end of the 1999/2000 campaign after scoring in the FA Youth Cup final over the Highfield Road club. He never played a first-team game for Arsenal.
Finally, Junichi Inamoto has signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Premiership side West Brom.
The Japanese midfielder spent the 2001-02 campaign at Arsenal, starting two games and coming off the bench in another two, before spending two seasons at Fulham.

In Sweden it's called a k�lrot.
Fantastic with mash potato, next to a Haggis. Haggis, Tatties and Neeps. Burns night sorted!
Or Jamie�s Mussel dish, from Jamie�s Great Britain, I think I have seen a photo of this, when I logged in. Haggis is really cool, we had one last night. It had been many years since the last one, another childhood meal I now love. At �2 it�s going to become a regular fixture.

Re: swede - what to do with it
If you ever come across a reference to "haggis, neeps and tatties", "neep" means "swede".
I don't like them much, personally, but I'm told mashing them with butter and pepper is a good plan.

Re: swede - what to do with it
Mada! I've learnt something new today - I always thought a swede was a swede & a turnip a turnip - but they are the same vegetable!
(Kye! And, the swede is called rutabaga, too - wow, so many names!!! )
I once peeled a swede at my MIL's house & we boiled it/then mashed it like potatoes - like other forumers have said, Mada!
On the farm here my hubby has planted about 5 padddocks of turnips/swedes for a summer-crop for the cows to munch-on...they will begin grazing them in the next week or two, as, it's getting quite dry over here in N.Z. ...we badly need some rain!
P.S. Thanks, HippyTea, I always wondered what "neeps" were!

Hi All,
This is Viktoriya this is my first year in bee keeping and I want to get started the right way.
We have tried to order some bees from long creek apiaries but have not received any response from them despite leaving multiple messages. Does anyone have any experience with them or know how to get ahold of them.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks, Viktoriya

Eames Aluminum Group Executive Chair by Herman Miller, Leather Upholstery
designed by Charles and Ray Eames
At A Glance:
Herman Miller introduced the Eames Aluminum Group in 1958 as Charles and Ray Eames' response to the need for high-quality indoor-outdoor furniture. It soon moved inside exclusively. Herman Miller celebrates the chair that came in from the cold. Available in management, executive and side chair models, this design remains a classic of style and comfort.
This high-back executive chair utilizes a lightweight aluminum frame with suspended upholstery, 5-star base with casters, tilt-swivel mechanism and seat-height adjustment. The leather options provide luxuriously comfortable seating.
This is the kind of chair that belongs in the corner office or behind the biggest desk; the kind of chair that demands respect, while at the same time never being ostentatious or pretentious. It's simple, it's sleek and cool and retro, and it's designed to build a subtle picture of prestige. It also happens to be beautiful. Of course, this is also a flexible chair, and it doesn't have to be used behind a desk. While that is where it was designed to go, there are other places that will work, including lobbies and public spaces, and even homes. The high back of the chair makes it perfect for the desk, but that shouldn't be a limiting feature.
Also available in a more affordable fabric version. See the entire Eames Aluminum Chair Group.
What's To Like:
The Eames Aluminum Group Executive Chair is a true tall-backed chair. The elegant combination of leather and aluminum ribbing rises to the top of most sitters' backs. The effect is not imposing or intimidating, but it is certainly more prestigious. It retains the mystique of the old versions of executive chairs but replaces their pretentious exteriors with the simple, lovely creations of Charles and Ray Eames. And while this is a classic example of classic modern furniture, it's not dated. If anything, the cachet of the chair has only grown in the years between its debut and today, because the ultra-cool, retro look has come into style now even more than it was at that time.
Another feature of the chair is the more sculpted back. That's just one more reason this is a great chair for the office. It will keep your back comfortable and give you a little more support. That's going to really come in handy for long days at the office, when you need to do sustained work at your desk for hours and hours at a time. When you don't have to get up all the time because you're uncomfortable, that's a ton of productivity you're not losing because of your chair. With the Eames Aluminum Group Executive Chair, you don't run that risk. This is a comfortable, stylish chair.
What's Not to Like:
You'll get tilt, swivel, and rolling casters, but you won't get adjustable or padded arms. You'll get beautiful style and a huge selection of leather options, but you won't get adjustable lumbar support. By retro, we mean retro; when style was evolving and technology hadn't quite caught up yet, the Eames Aluminum Executive Chair was king. So really, it's all about the trade-offs. If you're looking for style, this is your cup of tea. Fully adjustable comfort? Try the Embody Chair or the Aeron Chair.
The Bottom Line:
This chair is an example of perfect design. When Charles and Ray Eames made a piece of furniture, they were often trying to make something multipurpose like the LCW or the molded plastic chairs, or else something "perfect" for a certain task, like the Eames Lounge Chair and the Eames Aluminum Group Executive Chair. These were chairs that used innovative techniques and materials to create something perfectly tailored to a need. In the case of the Lounger that need was rest and relaxation, and in the case of the executive chair, the need is a fine, prestigious, and powerful looking office chair. This is a chair that looks the best in the office, but looks good in the home and in public areas as well. High style, aesthetic beauty, functionality; it's a classic design from Charles and Ray Eames.
Leather Options:
Stock Leather
Chromium free and from Austria this stock Herman Miller leather is a winner for most. With a matte, soft feel this is the most popular leather used on Herman Miller upholstered items.
Open Line Leather
Austrian by birth, yours by choice. Open Line leather is closest to the stock Herman Miller leathers but available in a wider array of colors.
Dream Cow Leather
With a gentle calfskin grain (it's not calfskin though, its European full grain aniline dyed cowhide), this leather is soft and comes in many great colors to accent your decor. This is a leather of great versatility, perfect when Royal Hide is out of budget, but where the look is wanted.
Metallic Dream Cow Leather
A gentle calfskin grain (again, not calfskin but European full grain aniline dyed cowhide), infused with metals and soft shine, on cowhide for huge versatility. Updated, offbeat, moody colors.
All Grain Leather
Not too big - not too small - just "All Grain". Color and quality together wedding grain and color, always with a feeling of luxury. European full grain aniline dyed cowhide powered by Crypton, "All Grain" becomes an easy choice for high traffic areas and commercial offices.
Royal Hide Leather
This versatile leather is the most beautiful of its kind. The color range is huge, reflecting its broad applicability. It will develop a rich patina over time, making it a great heirloom, eliminating the need for reupholstery. A European full grain aniline dyed cowhide leather with no limits - sky, earth, sea.
Caster Option:
- 2" chrome soft double wheel casters, hard floor or carpet
Seat Height Adjustment Options:
- Manual seat height adjustment

Comments about Herman Miller Eames Aluminum Executive Chair:
The Eames high-back executive chair is in my home office. It is SO comfortable and timeless. I love the tilt function, I tilt back and look out the window for visual breaks. While I'm a fan of leather, I chose a woven fabric (violet moire) because in the summer I work in shorts and didn't want my legs sticking to leather. I'm very pleased with the fabric, it has a great mix of color and looks high quality. Having owned it for only one month, I don't know how the fabric will wear, although it looks industrial and durable and I don't feel concerned. Granted the lift function is likely adjusted only occasionally, but still I went with the pneumatic lift option because I like the ease of how these work. I love it.

Comments about Herman Miller Eames Aluminum Executive Chair:
First Impressions
The Executive Chair is meant for the corner office. It has a high back, and the polished aluminum and the black leather can make a powerful impression. It fits in well with most types of desks and most office design schemes as well; it's not the kind of chair you have to build your whole office around. There is extra curvature in the back of this chair (because there is extra space) and that makes you a bit more comfortable while you're going through long days at work. Sitting in this chair was much like sitting in any other modern work chair, just with less adjustments and more style.
