The Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning was supported by a generous grant from the Davis Educational Foundation.
The idea of a Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning (FCTL) at RIC had been under discussion for a number of years. Exploration of an FCTL was a stated goal in the college's Strategic Plan 2010, cited under Institutional Goal 1 "Ensure high-quality learning opportunities for all students," and Objective 1.9 "Explore the feasibility of creating a Center for Teaching and Learning for college faculty and submit a feasibility plan by 2009."
To achieve this objective, in fall 2008 a committee of the RIC governance council of faculty, staff, and administrators was asked by the Vice President for Academic Affairs to review the structure and function of centers at other schools, assess interest level among faculty at RIC, and make a recommendation to the administration. Committee members made site visits to six different centers at area colleges, ranging from Worcester State College to Connecticut College to Brown University. A report on these centers was disseminated to the faculty at large, and two faculty-wide forums were conducted at which about 80 faculty attended to voice their support. Many other faculty members wrote e-mails expressing approval for the idea.
The outcome of this effort was a well-endorsed proposal to establish an FCTL, submitted by the Mission and Goals Committee to President Nancy Carriuolo in May 2009. Establishment of the FCTL was included in the strategic plan developed for 2010-2015. Draft Goal #1 read, "Foster and sustain rigorous academic programs that demonstrate student-faculty collaboration, cultural inquiry and intellectual engagement," and draft Objective 8 read, "Establish a Center for Teaching and Learning to demonstrate and facilitate our systemic commitment to faculty development."
A number of factors led to the college's desire to establish an FCTL during this time:
- The college experienced a surge in enrollment and a rising dependence on adjuncts. In 2008-09, 38% of the student credit hours were generated by part-time faculty, a percentage that increased due to a 6% rise in FTE undergraduate enrollment in fall 2009. With only 10 new full-time faculty members that fall, there was an urgent need to engage part-time faculty in college life and teaching development.
- The demographics of the faculty changed due, in part, to retirements. At the time, 35% of the full-time faculty members were assistant professors.
- The demographics of the students changed. RIC served a population of about 7,900 undergraduates and 1,400 graduate students. Of this group, 67% were women, 83% were white, and 87% were from Rhode Island. Over the next ten years, projections suggested the number of graduates from Rhode Island high schools would fall by about 25%, with the number of white students dropping by 40% but the number of Hispanic students rising by 36%. The college would need to reach a more ethnically-diverse population, non-traditionally-aged undergraduates, graduate students, and adults in need of continuing education. Success in understanding, reaching, and teaching these populations would benefit from the FCTL.
- Student learning-outcomes assessment has been, and continues to be, a major focus of campus efforts. As a college-wide responsibility, the FCTL would facilitate sharing of assessment practices and findings across departments and schools.
- While many faculty members were well versed in technology, the college lagged behind other institutions in online learning. Blackboard 9.0 was just becoming available after years of dependence on an older technology. A sustained faculty-development effort was needed to create a community of practice around online teaching and other emerging modes of pedagogy.
- Several consecutive years of fiscal constraints created, more than ever before, the need to be effective in teaching and to use faculty resources to the greatest effect possible. Maintenance of the faculty's sense of freshness and engagement with new teaching practices required an investment in faculty development.

Like I have said in other posts. Crazier things have happened. Every year someone comes out of nowhere to either make the playoffs or just miss. It was looking like the Nats might be that team. Last nights loss for them though was a big hit on that comeback attempt.

Volkswagen's CC is certainly an attractive sedan, but as it ages, it doesn't quite fit in with Volkswagen's latest design language. A facelift might be the key to solve that problem — and that's just what the updated 2013 CC, which debuts later this month at the 2011 Los Angeles auto show, receives.Read more: http://wot.motortrend.com/facelift-new-2013-volkswagen-cc-unveiled-before-l-a-show-debut-132077.htmlThe rear looks better, but now the front seems kind of generic.

I can almost hear the banjo music.(In other words, it looks like everybody in this family has slept with their cousins! Time to refresh the gene pool, Mr. De Silva!)
I think the front was better before. It now looks a little to similar to the Passat.

I agree with Bellanca, like that they cleaned up the rear, but the front has lost something. I still think I like it overall, but not as much as the current gen.I'm also not crazy about this two tone interior they insist on doing with this car. Black or tacky two-tone.

I'll have to add Coastal Sew & Vac to my list. I don't have that one on there. Thanks for the info.

Serves 8
Prep Time 60 min
Total Time 60 min.
Step 1
Place raisins in a small bowl and cover with warm water; let soak for 10 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
Crush saffron and salt together in a mortar and pestle until a coarse powder forms. (Alternatively, place saffron and salt on a cutting board and use the flat side of a chef's knife to grind into a coarse powder.) Combine with ginger, turmeric, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the spice mixture and cook, stirring, until the mixture starts to foam. Add onions, sugar and the plumped raisins. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn light brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Add 1 cup broth and nestle fish into the onion mixture. Cover and cook until the fish is flaky, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with pepper. Cover and set aside.
Step 4
Meanwhile, heat canola oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add almonds and cook, stirring, until just beginning to turn golden, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Bring the remaining 1 1/3 cups broth and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to a boil in a small saucepan. Add couscous in a stream. Stir once. Cover, remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Step 6
To serve, mound the couscous on a shallow platter. Top with the fish and onion t'faya and sprinkle the almonds on top.

Three journalists injured in Karachi bombings
At least three journalists were injured during three consecutive explosions in Pakistan's financial capital of Karachi on November 13, 2013.
At least three journalists were injured during three consecutive explosions in Pakistan's financial capital of Karachi on November 13, 2013.
By Bob Dietz/ CPJ Asia Program Coordinator
Ali Chishti, who writes for The Friday Times, has gone public in Islamabad with details of his abduction and beating last Friday, August 30. Chishti is making the rounds of TV talk shows describing how he was picked up in Karachi by uniformed police driving a police vehicle, blindfolded, switched to another police vehicle, taken to a small room somewhere in Karachi, and beaten by men he does not think were police officers. After nine hours, he was dropped by the side of the road at 4:30 Saturday morning.
On January 13, 2011, Wali Khan Babar, a 28-year-old correspondent for Geo TV, was driving home after covering another day of gang violence in Karachi. Babar was an unusual face on the airwaves: Popular and handsome, he was a Pashtun from Zhob in Baluchistan near the border with Afghanistan. For Geo, it was a rare boon to have a Pashtun in Karachi, and so the station planned to send him abroad for training to become an anchor.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Family is looking for answers after apparent murder-suicide
JOHNSON COUNTY, Tenn. - A family is left asking why after a shooting and police stand-off in Johnson County on Saturday night into Sunday morning.
That shooting ended with one man wounded and a mother and her six-year-old dead. The sheriff's office tells us Heather Finely Buchanan wounded her boyfriend, killed her 6 year old daughter Alexis Renea Buchanan then turned the gun on herself.
Shock, heart break, and tears are how one family is trying to get through an unimaginable situation. The Johnson County Sheriff's Office tells us Heather Finely Buchanan shot and killed her 6-year-old daughter Alexis Renea Buchanan then took her own life Sunday morning, "I'm just devastated that was my daughter and granddaughter", says Buchanan's mother Mary Lewis.
"The outcome of this I just can't understand. She wasn't that kind of woman", adds Buchanan's aunt Mary Lewis.
Vicky Lewis tells us she talked to Buchanan earlier Saturday night and could tell something was wrong. Lewis tells us she asked her daughter if she was on drugs and she said no, that's when she asked to talk to her granddaughter, "I got the little granddaughter on the phone and said what is wrong with your momma and she said she was just crazy in her mind, crazy in her head," says Vicky Lewis.
Family members tell us Buchanan had a history of drug problems, "I don't know what all they were on but I know there were drugs involved. I think that's a part of what's happened to them," adds Mary Lewis.
Mary Lewis tells us 6-year-old Alexis knew about her mother's problems and was worried about her, "She told me nothing bad was going to happen to her or her mommy because she talked to Jesus everyday and that he told her he would take care of her and her mommy," adds Lewis.
Mary Lewis says despite Buchanan's drug problems, little Alexis wanted to be with her mom, "She loved her mommy very much she didn't want to be apart from her," says Lewis.
Alexis was a first grader at Roan Creek Elementary School, and her family tells me she loved school, "She was just fun loving, out-going, and loved school," adds Vicky Lewis.
"She was a great child she was no trouble to watch, she always listened to whatever you said," says Mary Lewis.
Mary Lewis tells us sometimes Alexis would cry because she was so worried about her mom, "At her age where she shouldn't of had to be all grown up at once but she was like a little grown up when you talked to her," adds Mary Lewis.
The family tells us even through this tragedy they want everyone to remember the precious little girl, "She loved life she had planned on being a singer," says Vicky Lewis.
Buchanan's boyfriend Mark Johnson is still at Johnson City Medical Center and is expected to recover.
Police tell us the bodies of the mother and child were sent off for autopsies.

SEO Checkout today
Today I attended the SEO checkout session held by a spokesperson from Google's Adspam department. He answered every question thoroughly but it was obvious that he was very conscious of Google's privacy.
As is the usual with Google, he emphasised the importance of putting more attention on content of your website than links. Google thinks that content is the main factor affecting rankings. For example, a famous blog's content update will get indexed within 5 hours. He also claimed that Google will ban websites that buy external links, although he did not share how Google will classify 'buying links'.
His other main point was to try to make full use of Google webmaster tools and sitemaps. They can help websites get indexed easily and accurately. For example, you can choose to delete Google cache and search history by using this tool.
From my point of view, everything he said was right. But it is nothing new and I still believe that all the efforts for off page optimisation should be made.

I think getting rid of Chris Smith was s huge move for team morale its about time the Knicks stopped catering to this bum JR Smith. I bet the whole team supported Woody on this. If this malcontent doesnt want to play stick him on the end of the bench in a suit. Its to bad he has zero trade value i would send him out of town for just about anything
Why does Woody have wood for J.R? The guy is a nut.
Mood: WOOF!
So glad Woodson benched JR for this game. It's about time he held JR accountable for his actions and play. Things like that help the whole team turn around.
Dunno if this team is going anywhere, but at least it's now worth seeing if they can climb back to .500.
If they hit anymore skids though before the trade deadline, it might be time to start moving pieces for assets.
All Hail The New York Giants!!

Knicks win again! Bonehead got some PT so hopefully he stops all the BS but it is JR Smith... it is almost a given that he will do something dumb eventually

Makes you wonder if health concerns (Chandler, Felton for example) didn't occur; would their current record be better?
NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
I think Blake Griffin at 17 million a year is much better value to the Knicks especially on the trade market because he is signed through 2016 at a normal max contract. Melo becoming a FA gives the Knicks very few teams to where a trade can be worked out to. There are maybe 2 teams that would trade for Melo right now "with real compensation" while 10-15 would trade for Griffin. The money that Melo is set to make can only be absorbed by very few teams, 1 being the Clippers as they already have Chris Paul in place. Griffin however can be sent almost everywhere because the team receiving him isnt taking on the risk of him leaving, they also arent using almost half their cap space to keep him.

Here's my recent experience with Western:
I always wanted to run 8-frame hives. They're lighter weight for my lousy back and wrists, and they allow the bees to expand vertically a bit more.
I checked the local(ish) suppliers, and none of them mentioned having any 8 frame ware. Kelley's had some advertised, but the shipping from Kentucky was way too expensive. Western Bee Supplies in Montana had great prices and good-looking products, but also didn't mention 8-frame items anywhere on their website. So I gave up and just ordered 10-frame components from Western.
Then, a day after my order arrived, I noticed that Western had changed their website and all of a sudden on the home page they mentioned that they've been making 8-frame ware for 30 years! And they said — explicitly — that they offered tele-covers in the 8-frame size. So I called them up to ask if I could trade in my new 10-frame covers and screened bottoms for 8-frame ones. (I figured Bob and I could just cut down the hive boxes ourselves, because we didn't want to pay the postage to send them back.)
No, Western said, our website is mistaken: we can't make telescoping covers in the 8-frame size because we don't have the tin. (They have since updated their website to reflect this unavailability.) Fine, I said: Send me the telescoping covers without tin and Bob and I will buy our own tin at Home Depot and attach it.
Vicki at Western Bee reluctantly agreed, although she did inform me that since all 8-frame ware has to be custom made, they could not guarantee any delivery date and it would be a while because there was a big order to fill ahead of mine. She also took the trouble rather grumpily to point out that THIS is why my insistence on 8-frame ware is so impractical, and why hardly anyone uses it.
"I think more people are using it these days," I offered meekly.
"No, they're not!" Vicki was emphatic. "I've been in the business for 19 years and I can tell you that 10-frame is the standard everywhere and it hasn't changed." I figured if I kept the argument going any longer I might not get my new tops and bottoms til 4th of July, so I backed down politely and expressed gratitude.
Then I waited. And waited. Bob cut the 10-frame boxes down to 8-frame, and put new dovetail corners in. The bees were ready to come home, so he also made temporary tops and bottoms for the hives and we set things up.
Now comes the package from Western. And, guess what… instead of each telescoping cover coming with two long pieces for the 19 7/8 inch side and two short pieces for the 13 3/4 inch side, each cover came with four short side pieces. (See photo). So we have to raid Bob's shop again for wood, to make up the missing long pieces. Grrrr.

Very nice apartment and very friendly and hepful hosters. Pretty well placed and great equipment. Great chance for a family or a group. Nice experience and i highly recommend it.
It is just the perfect apartment for a family of 4.
Everything is there, It is clean and quiet.
It is right in the center of Budapest, the perfect place to dive into the city...
Liked it a lot!
Really enjoyed 5 nights in this ideally located apartment. On the quiet end of Vaci Street you can access everything quickly and close to the food halls. Freedom bridge also close to access Buda side (historical old town). Ernest the host was very friendly and accommodating and added some sparkle to our stay!
The house was excellent value and clean and very spacious. It was fully equipped and we enjoyed the space and good sized bathroom.
Guys, on a general note about Budapest I would advise to avoid the yellow taxis and get to used to Metro, Trams, Buses quick. They are easy to use and quick whilst taxis are more expensive than London! Also eating on Vaci Street is a bit of a tourist street. Rady Utca is cheaper but again the more you venture out the center the better value. We enjoyed an old traditional pub half way to Rady Street which was great value and excellent food.
Nice and very well equipped apartment. (only the little balcon is not always available, because it is also used by the neighbours) .
Perfect location ( centre, bus, metro etc). Friendly and helpful owner.
We 'll recommend this certainly to our friends and other people!
Annie and Alet
Great and clean apartment in a nice location - very recommendable for a stay in the centre of beautiful Budapest :-)
Beautiful apartment in an excellent location. Yes, it is on the main touristy street in Budapest, but it is still quiet and you can reach the center of the city in a short walk. Public transport is literally just around the corner (Tram, Underground, Bus).
A special thanks to Ernest (the caretaken of the Apartment) who picked us up and dropped us back to the Airport, and also gave us a guided tour and helpful tips.
We enjoyed our stay here (3 adults) and would definitely recommend this Apartment to anyone else.
The apartment was just right for us: centrally located, most of the sites within easy walking distance, public transportation and shopping just a few minutes away, an elevator, and a very comfortable bed. Nurlan and his family are very friendly and were always available to help.
Nurlan department is very well located and good category. Unfortunately it was not well equipped for 6 people. Also had a wet spot on the bedroom ceiling which was shelled and smell. Should be able to fix or lower the price of the lease. Everything else fine
Nurlan was a wonderful host. He allowed us to stay in the apartment until 3:30 in the afternoon instead of leaving the flat in the morning. The flat was, nice,clean and tidy. It's location is in the middle of the buzzing part of Budapest, less than 3minutes walk away from the MARKET HALL.
NURLAN'S representative Ernest was a brilliant person, kind and very helpful.
We highly recommend this beautiful flat.
We are writing this after more than one year - sorry for that!! - but our stay at Vaci-Street and the warm hospitality of our host Nurlan are still in our minds. It was a fantastic visit to a most interesting city. Our appartement was absolutely perfect, large, clean and comfortable, right in the center of Buda, near to the wonderful Liberty Bridge. Many restaurants and cafes around, the big markethall nearby, where you can get anything to eat. This may sound like a commercial, but it is simply what we experienced there. We loved to be at this nice and quiet place in the middle of an area full of life. But the best was our always friendly and helpful Nurlan - for example: on departure-day he stored our luggage in another appartement and left us the key so we could enjoy the whole day in Budapest. Once again: Many many thanks!!! If we come to Budapest we will always try to come to Nurlan's again!

Julia's Gallery for Young Artists and the Matinicus Island School are pleased to present Matinicus: The Place Beyond. This photographic celebration of island life, representing the work of the six island students who illustrated their original song about life on Matinicus, is the culminating show of a two-year program called Building Bridges. Ranging in age from 6 to 14 years, the young artists worked with photographer Charlotte Dixon of Maine Media Workshops, photographer Chris Pinchbeck and mentor island artist Maury Colton to learn how to 'write with light.' The resulting exhibition illuminates life on Matincus Island, with thirty compelling photographs of boots, lobster traps, the expansive sky, spring lupine and other unique island icons. The Building Bridges program was funded by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Gallery hours: Wednesday-Friday, 3-5 p.m.; Saturday & Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.

Whereas hipster is the opposite of mainstream, and hardcore is rather extreme, sometimes mainstream, hipstcore defines the area between the two: not mainstream, yet still extreme.
Hardcore is the beaten path. Hipster is walking on the much less beaten path next to it. Hipstcore is walking through the tree separating the two.

Carbon tax is a scam
In Ian Palmer's book on "Where Does Carbon Dioxide Come From," he has presented a summary we should all look at.
According to his book, the volcanic actions in Iceland spewed in just four days more carbon than humans have made in five years trying to control carbon dioxide emissions. The total carbon dioxide spewed from the 1991 Iceland volcano was more carbon dioxide than the entire world population put out since the start of time. There are about 200 active volcanos in the world now.
The fact of the matter is the brush fires this year alone dwarfed the human reductions of carbon dioxide for the next two or three years. It happens every year.
Also, remember carbon dioxide is essential for the life on our planet. Don't allow the EPA to call it a pollutant.
The carbon tax is nothing but a huge scam and will do nothing to reduce total carbon emissions. It is just a sneaky way to get politicians into your pockets.
I think we are confusing Mr. Gore's science background with a political science background. Mr. Gore could be more effective to reduce carbon emissions if he would put his finger into one of the active volcanos.
That is my view of the situation.

F-Zero X is the sequel to one of the most popular games on the Super Nintendo. Combining high speed racing with well designed tracks and tons of competitors, F-Zero X surely does its predecessor proud. While many will buy the game just on the name alone, there are many aspects to this title that make it more than just a sequel.
First off, unlike the original, F-Zero X is polygonal. Seeing these
graphics makes you wonder how you ever played the original 16-bit version. With
a super high framerate, the race really flies by. On the down side, the tracks
are all very bland looking, with boring textures and uninspired backgrounds.
But while other arcade racing game have demonstrated better graphics before,
like Extreme
G, none of have had to deal with quite so much processing power per race
just to create your enemies.
In every race, you are up against twenty-nine other hover cars. Your placement among these other cars depends on how well you did on previous tracks. The better you finish, the worse the starting position. This makes for some claustrophobic beginnings as you swerve your way through the competition. The other cars aren't the only thing you have to worry about though . . .
The tracks are just as much your enemies as the cars. Besides normal tracks, you race on tracks without walls, on tracks with long jumps, on a half-pipe, on the inside of a tube, and even on the outside of a tube. With over thirty tracks, the replay value is immense. There's even a track where all of your opponents kill themselves right at the beginning, so you win if you survive. The largest problem with this setup, however, is that just by racing the tracks once, you have an advantage. Most tracks only have one tricky section; once you know where that is, you're made in the shade.
This can be especially annoying during a multi-player game. It's not really
fun for someone to play against the owner of the game, because unless he falls
off the track, he wins. In order for the multi-player to work, you have to give
your friends time to practice . . . unless you want to just grind them into
the dirt like the lowly scum that they are.
Other than that, the multi-player game works amazingly well. There is really
no framerate loss due to the fact that the machine only has to render four cars
in the multi-player game. While the quadruple split-screen can make things hard
to see, N64 owners are used to that after thousands of hours playing multiplayer
All in all, this game is plain fun. Nothing really new, but nothing bad either.
While the game lacks some things, like weapons and multiple paths, it is a fast
racer that many gamers will enjoy playing for hours and hours. And maybe, just
maybe, it'll keep the proletariat in line and I won't have to sacrifice my throne
as ruler of you all. Mwahahahahaha . . . uh, pretend you didn't see that.

Valeria Lukyanova is known worldwide as the human Barbie. I want to make sure that everyone knows that the photo above is her. It is not a doll. It has not been photoshopped or airbrushed. It is her. In GQ this month she was interviewed and she says that fifty years ago there were far more beautiful women than today. The reason she says there are less beautiful women today is "Ethnicities are mixing now, so there's degeneration, and it didn't used to be like that. Remember how many beautiful women there were in the 1950s and 1960s, without any surgery? And now, thanks to degeneration, we have this. I love the Nordic image myself. I have white skin; I am a Nordic type—perhaps a little Eastern Baltic, but closer to Nordic."
Ah, so she misses the days of the Hitler Youth and exterminating everyone who doesn't look Nordic which is pretty much what Hitler wanted. Lucky for all of us though, Valeria doesn't plan on reproducing. She thinks having children is repulsive. She goes on to say that she would love to movie to Hollywood and have a career in movies or television. If they ever do a live action version of an Eva Braun Barbie movie, I think she will be the first person they call.
I do wonder what she will look like a decade from now. Eventually aging will catch up with her and she won't have the Barbie doll look. Will that begin to change her views on life and the mixing of races?

Ben Johnson, The White House Watch
Impeachment usually represents a punitive act following the commission of a crime, but some are looking to it as a last means of self-defense. At a Tea Party town hall meeting last night Rep. Michael Burgess, R-TX, said impeachment "needs to happen" to stop Barack Obama from inflicting more "damage" on this country.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram claims an attendee "suggested that the House push for impeachment proceedings against President Barack Obama to obstruct the president from pushing his agenda." Burgess, who represents four counties in northern Texas, responded: "It needs to happen, and I agree with you it would tie things up. No question about that." He later stood by his comment. "We need to tie things up. The longer we allow the damage to continue unchecked, the worse things are going to be for us."
Burgess made his comments at a town hall meeting with the NE Tarrant Tea Party Tuesday evening in Denton, Texas.
The Star-Telegram adds, "Burgess said he wasn't sure whether the proper charges to bring up articles of impeachment against Obama were there." Since the reporter does not quote Congressman Burgess nor elaborate on this sentence, it is uncertain whether Burgess said he was not sure Obama had committed an impeachable offense or whether the charges could pass the Democrat-controlled Senate. While there are ample grounds for impeachment, it would take intense citizen pressure to force senators to vote for conviction.
The event was broadcast live on UStream, but it is not yet archived on the Congressman's video page. If you have more information about — or video of — this incident, please contact me.
Whatever the circumstances surrounding Burgess' words, he is part of a significant and growing number of Congressmen willing to see Obama removed from office….

Starting another year of cutouts (2 scheduled already and there was snow on the ground yesterday!). I'm insured, experienced, and I charge. I kept the prices lower in the past because I just wanted the bees and the experience, but now that I'm doing queen rearing, and have a lot of other things going on, my base price is around $600 depending on the job. (At some point, I may bump it up even higher if I really don't want to do as much work.)
My question is about the suit. I wear boots,gloves to the elbows (sometimes going through 3 pairs), and full coveralls with a zippered veil. Something about taking a sawzall to cut the wood lathe tends to cause the bees to be more aggressive than most....
I've been stung through the suit on a rare occasion - elbow, or right at the thigh. Not a big deal. However, the suit's getting a bit worn now. I have a jacket for the initial prep work and cleanup, and wear the full suit for the real action. I would like to get another. Most suits are for strolling through the bee yard, or doing commercial work. Not leaning against a ladder or on your stomach, or pulling comb out of the ceiling or a soffit.
Any recommendations? The one I have came from Mann Lake, and I've been reasonably happy with it. I had to make some minor modifications so I could switch out veils (one is better for overhead work than others).
I've considered the EZ breeze, but don't think it would be good. Many times I'm squeezing bees against myself in between tools or tight places (have had to take out 2 hives in kneewalls) Also, my next suit must have zippers at the legs. I always wear boots (once had the elastic pull up my jeans and got stung through the socks in just a normal bee yard experience.
So, giving all that, and that sometimes I soak the suit in sweat, what would you recommend? I had thought about also having my wife add chaps type covers to the front of the legs, and at the elbows.

Well I have been driving my Dad's Cherokee (which is a 2000 with almost 150,000 miles) lately and I got wondering should Jeep bring it back to their lineup? It was a huge seller for Jeep in all the years it was for sale. I think Jeep should consider bringing it back and they should axe the Commander, Compass and Liberty and base the new Cherokee on the Patriot with new interior and a new nose like the Cherokee and they would have a hit. The current Patriot has the boxy styling just like the older Cherokee had. Or maybe they should completely built one from scratch and base it from the original. Also add some more powerful engines to the lineup between 3.0 or 3.5 making the new Patriot-Cherokee more powerful in all driving conditions. And then it would be back to basics with just three models in the lineup and sales would improve. Let me know what you think.
________________________________________________________________Hondas are great cars considering their fuel economy and are cheap to maintain.
All they need to do is drop either the 3.3L or 3.8L V6 in the Patriot and give it a Rubicon edition. That right there would be the perfect replacement for the Jeep Cherokee. Fuel efficient 4-banger, and a meaty V6 as an option.I think that the Commander would be a fine vehicle if they up the price some more, make it more capable, more luxurious, and full of innovations like their new Ram and Caravan. Give all those high class off-roading vehicles some competition. All I think that they really need to ax is the Compass. Though it would be super sweet if they have at least a 285HP SRT4 Rally edition. Enter the thing into some competitions. Maybe even have an R/T edition that was powered to like 235hp or something along those lines.
1997 Buick LeSabre 3.8L Auto 120,000miles2003 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4L Auto 90,000miles
the only problem I see from it is that the Patriot is based off a car platform and its off-road crediabilties are not very good. The world knows the Cherokee as a true sport utility and not a car based wagon. I'm not saying the Patriot is terrible, its good at what it does, but jeep doesn't want the Cherokee image to become flawed (which is why I think they renamed it to the Liberty). Also building it off a whole new platform would be to costly for a company that is really hurting now.I do want the Cherokee back and if they want to it right, I believe they should build it off the a heavily modified Wrangler Unlimited platform. If they could find a way to do that and make it look good and functional, I would come back to the Jeep brand.
--------------------No regrets, that's my motto. That and everyone Wang Chung tonight
I just got an email from the jeep compass...LEAVE ME ALONE!! Im just misunderstood by the American public and the Company that builds me fails to realize my potential. Im not the fat girl with make up, im the pretty chick who forgot to put on makeup. Sure I may not be trail rated, but that is for my sister the Patriot. Im the new Urban Cruiser, get me a better tranny and a SRT engine i'll be ready to murder the Cobalt SSs, Mazda3 and GTIs of the world. Im better for business in the CAFE world. And while my inside may not be as plush as those in other vehicle but my plastics are just as hard as those you'll find in a Corolla or Civic. But Im confused as to why I am more expensive than both the Caliber and Patriot?
Technically the Liberty is the successor to the Cherokee. As a matter of fact its sold as the Cherokee in international markets. If you want a Cherokee just get a Liberty.
I'd love for Jeep to bring back the Cherokee! They could actually start importing them from China where it's still manufactured, but there are some huge barriers in the way of that happening. Right now, it would not only compete with the Liberty, but also the Patriot (to a lesser extent) and it's spiritual successor, the Wrangler Unlimited. Plus, that old Cherokee platform will never hold up to modern crash standards. Back a few years ago, Jeep made some unwise decisions (IMO) and that has doomed it from our shores. This is what should have happened, I think: the previous-gen Grand Cherokee platform (front rigid axle) platform should have been saved and a new, old-look Cherokee built on top of it. The Liberty should have become the "cute ute" in Jeep's lineup and the 4 door Wrangler Unlimited, Patriot and Compass shouldn't have happened. The Unlimited sacrifices some off-roadability (due to the longer wheelbase) for a couple of barely usable back seats and doors... why? The Wrangler should always be a no compromise off-roader for those who need/want that. Sure, it's picked up quite a bit of "fad" sales, but I bet that most of the Unlimited buyers will trade them in in a year or so when they grow tired of the rough, uncomfortable and inconvenient nature of the Wrangler. Jeep had a good thing going with the Cherokee (an affordable, kick-arse off-roader that was still comfortable enough for everyday, family use) and consumer's dug it. If Jeep had kept the less hard-core, but still more than competent Cherokee in it's lineup, there would be no need for the Unlimited. The Liberty comes across as a lackluster trade off, it's neither hardcore enough nor cute-ute enough. With the Cherokee in the lineup, the Liberty can become exactly what it should be, a RAV4 competitor with few compromises to appeal to those who really go off-roading.Or another idea would be to allow the Wrangler/Wrangler Unlimited and the Grand Cherokee to carry the torch for the off-road buyers and create a line-up of true crossover softroaders in between the two. Patriot at the bottom, Liberty in the middle, Cherokee at the top. I'd hate it personally, but I it makes sense considering the current SUV/CUV market trends.I guess what I'm saying is that individual Jeep models now try to be all things to all people and come across as bastardized and compromised as a result. The Grand Cherokee and Liberty have lost their front axles in the compromise, the Wrangler has had it's wheelbase stretched and the Patriot pretends to be something it isn't. The Patriot is what the Liberty should have been and the Unlimited should be the Cherokee.
"We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough." -R.W. Emerson
Actually, the more I think about it, the Cherokee should be what the Wrangler unlimited currently is. Why not stretch the Wrangler platform a little more and slap a Cherokee-look body on it? That would create a more user-friendly, but slightly less hard core off-roder... just like the original Cherokee.
"We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough." -R.W. Emerson
IMO one of the most timeless designs EVER:
...........................................................got a gun, fact I got two...that's ok man, cuz I love god
I think it would be a great idea because well the liberty was cool at 1st, but now its.........let us say boring? and jeep also needs to get of the compass & the patriot just get the cherokee back in!
YA my bro has a 2001 Cherokee? anyway its awesome its 1 of the most solid designs in the car world!
________________________________________________________________________________"Many fight to get to the top, but the true fighters, fight to be there best."-Some guy.
I love the old Cherokee's, they'll always be beautiful to me, If I worked for Chrysler, that'd be what I'd drive.
the liberty doesn't compare to the cherokee. i had at least five friends in college that all drove cherokees... i loved those cars. i would love for that to come back.

Seriously, who cares what they label it. Tear the patriot name badge off and put Cherokee on there. Kind of like a dumbass in my town who has a 84 toy truck and put TRD logos on it in the same place they put them on the real TRD models. Or the other dumbass who put the limited badge on his 98 regular cab 4 cylinder Tacoma.

They're so indestructable. My buddy drove one at college and some lady cut him off. He drove on top of the hood of her Camry, totaling her car, and he drove it an hour home to get his sister's jeep while his got fixed.
Bring back the Cherokee. We had a 91 Cherokee and a 95 Cherokee. They were really tough and nice to drive. We currently have a 99 Grand Cherokee. The mileage is about 2-3 mpg less (all 4.0 six cylinders) and the brakes are junk (they had a recall but never fixed anything). I have talked to a lot of people that don't like the quality problems with current Mopars. Get the quality up and get back to the basics.
We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobile rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to mankind. - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
