Probably the best location in Prag.
The Apartment was really spacious and modern interior.
Highly recommended!
The apartment is very nice, well equipped and the situation is great!
Definitely recommendable!
The apartment was nice and in a great location, with lots of bars and restaurants around. It's about a 10 minute walk to old town. The negatives were that the tram right outside of your window made for an early morning, and other loud guests woke us up at 4am singing in the hallway. There is also only one shower/bath and it's in one of the rooms. So if you're staying with 2 couples, you would have to knock on their door to take a bath. But the host as great, and very accommodating for an early check in for only 15€. We enjoyed our stay!!
We are a family of four, including two adult daughters and were very happy with the all situation. It is clear that there is an organization behind the apartment itself and a professional one it is. Everything was neat and the location was spot on. The formal hand over of the keys, both in and out, was quick and correct, although there was a 100 euro deposit involved (we used cash).
We had a great time in Prague and we will return
We only spent one Weekend at the Vladislav Attic Duplex Appartment but all we can say is: it was perfect!
It is indeed located in the middle of Prague. There are supermarkets, shopping malls and restaurants right in front of the apartment. We reached everything by foot, so we didn't even have to use our car or the train.
We highly recommend this apartment to anyone who likes to see this beautiful city and spend some valuable time there.
The apartment was really nice and over our expectations and Lubos has been really nice and help us alot with everything. All from taxi to airport and a list of nice restaurants and stuff to do.
The only thing was that they are building a big house just next door and started early in the morning and it was noicy sometimes.
Plus: Fantastic view, elegant apartment, great location, baby bed and seat available, equipment excellent.
Minus: sleeping room is at the back, but a bar can make it noisy in the evenings.
The apartment also gets quite expensive depending on the season.
My family and I had a nice stay at this apartment. The apartment was quiet and looked just like the pictures. The location was very good if you are into seeing the sights. We parked around the corner in a garage that cost around 20-25 eur a day I believe.
If you are handicapped, please note there is no elevator, and this being an attic apartment, you will have to take about 3 flights of stairs.
What also comes along with attic rooms is small windows. Little more than portholes really. So if you are looking for somewhere with a lot of sun and a balcony, this is not it. On the other hand, it makes it quite cosy and can add to the experience, so it just depends on what you want.
All in all, I would recommend it.

**Folkstone 1hr by car**
**Gatwick 45mn by train**
**Central London 15mn by train**
The Space
The flat has two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bathroom. The large bedroom has four bunk beds and the small bedroom has a double bed. The living room has comfortable seating for six, and a dining table with four chairs plus two folding chairs. The bathroom has a bathtub with shower. The kitchen has a fridge, oven and four burner hob, plus a washing machine.
General Condition
The flat is functional and has everything a family would need for a short city break. The kitchen is in need of a refurbishment, and the whole flat needs some redecoration. This is scheduled for November 2015. In the meantime, guests can enjoy the flat as it is, knowing that if it were newly refurbished they would be paying more!
Guest Access
Guests have exclusive use of the entire flat: kitchen, bathroom and living room. No one else will be sharing. Guests will have their own keys and will be able to come and go as they please.
Interaction with Guests
I meet guests when they check in, and say good bye when they leave. Apart from that I do not usually meet or socialise with guests. However, once or twice per year Clare and I invite our guests to our home for an evening meal.
The Neighbourhood
Grove Park is a commuter suburb of London. It has shops and cafés clustered around the railway station. Chinbrook Meadows is just around the corner from the railway station and has two play areas for children, tennis courts, and a charming brook meandering through.
Getting around
The flat is next to the railway station - it could not be closer. From the gates of the flat to the ticket office, the walk takes under 60 seconds! For local journeys there is a bus stop opposite the railway station.
Journey times by train to central London are:
London Bridge - 15mn,
Waterloo East - 20mn,
Charing Cross - 25mn.
The last train home leaves Charing Cross at 00:48. If you miss the last train, a night bus leaves every 30 minutes (every 20 minutes Friday and Saturday night) throughout the night from Trafalgar Square to the bus stop opposite Grove Park Station.
An oystercard is the simplest and usually cheapest way to move around London. It is valid on nearly all rail, underground, tram and bus journeys within London (a notable exception is the Heathrow Express). To use an Oystercard you must buy credit, and each time you make a journey the cost of that journey is taken from the credit. But the really good news is that there is a daily price cap. For adults travelling within Zones 1-4 the daily price cap is £7.70. And for children under 16 the daily price cap is £1.50.
On the "Transport for London" website search for "visitor oyster card" to find out how to buy your Oystercards before you travel to London, and how to apply for child photo oystercards for under 16s.
Other Things to Note
We offer a free loan of a travelcot suitable for children under three years.
We can offer an airport transfer service for up to 6 passengers - please email for details.
We have other flats close by, see:
House rules* Use common sense!
* Silent after 21:00.

Reviews of this property
We were a group of five and stayed in Tom's flat for 6 nights. London Bridge is reachable within 15 - 20 minutes with the train. Tom and his housekeeper Dolo collected us from the train station "Grove park" and showed us the way to the flat (2 minutes walk). We received two keys and didn't had to pay any caution. Communication was without any problems, Tom gave me the phone number from his housekeeper and she was always reachable. It was a really nice stay at Tom's flat !!
It was really nice to stay at Tom & Clare's place. They are very kind people and very helpfull too!
We would definitely come back if we would go to London again.
Thank you for the amazing week!
The apartment is conveniently located for those traveling by car from Dover / Folkestone. The train station is within walking distance in 3 minutes and it takes about 15 minutes without connection to the city center. A small supermarket and a few restaurants are driving a short distance away. The apartment is in a good split and friendly luggage on the ground floor. Our very nice and helpful host was agreed on the spot. A highly recommended accommodation!
Die Wohnung liegt verkehrsgünstig für die Anreise mit dem Auto von Dover/Folkestone. Der Bahnhof ist fußläufig in 3 Minuten zu erreichen und man fährt ca. 15 Minuten ohne Umsteigen ins Stadtzentrum. Ein kleiner Supermarkt und ein paar Mitnahmerestaurants sind einen Katzensprung entfernt. Die Wohnung ist prima aufgeteilt und gepäckfreundlich im Parterre. Unser sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber war vereinbarungsgemäß am Ort. Eine sehr empfehlenswerte Unterbringung!
Apartment clean and corresponding pictures. Well suited for our family of 5. Very practical with the supermarket and the train line 2 steps from the apartment. Tom was at our arrival and our departure. Everything went well.
Appartement propre et correspondant aux photos. Bien adapté à notre famille de 5 personnes. Très pratique avec la supérette et la ligne de train à 2 pas de l'appartement. Tom était présent à notre arrivée et à notre départ. Tout s'est bien passé.
I was with my 12 year old son felt very comfortable in the guest room of Tom and Clare. They are very friendly hosts and Tom had always good advice for us. To the train station to the city center as a regular bus (bus stop right outside).
Ich habe mich mit meinem 12-jährigen Sohn sehr wohl gefühlt in dem Gästezimmer von Tom und Clare. Sie sind sehr freundliche Gastgeber und Tom hatte immer wieder gute Tips für uns. Zur Zugstation in die Innenstadt fährt regelmäßig ein Bus (Haltestelle direkt am Haus).
Me and my 12 year old daugther really enjoyed our stay in Clares and Toms home. Our room and the rest of the house were nice and comfortable. Tom and Clare were very friendly and helpful. We have had a good time there.
Simone and Mara
We`ve been with Tom & Clare while our Holiday in London from 14. to 19. of August 2013. They were great hosts, we felt almost at home. It`s a short way to the city of London, just a 10-Minutes Walk to Railway Station and 20 Minutes to Charing Cross Station.
We enjoyed our time in London, thanks again for the hospitality and kindness
We had a very nice week, Tom and Clare. A beautiful and clean house and quiet area. We especially enjoyed the young dog Meg, what a treasure.
We hebben een hele gezellige week gehad, bij Tom en Clare.
Een prachtig en schoon huis en rustige omgeving.
We hebben vooral genoten van Meg de jonge hond, wat een schat.
I found in Tom and Clare excellent hosts. Always kind and helpful to make me feel at home. Thanks a lot.
We had a good time staying in Clare´s and Tom´s house. They are very helpful and it´s easy to get to London by bus and train or DLR. Kitchen very well equipped. We can recommed it to everyone who loves to have some quiet time after a busy day in London! My 7 year old son especially liked the puppy dog.

Remembering Camille Lepage
"Not sure I can talk about my 'career' just yet--I'm still just getting started!" freelance photographer Camille Lepage told the photography site Petapixel in October 2013.
Less than a year later, Lepage's body was found in a car in the Central African Republic, according to news reports citing the French government. She had been traveling with fighters of the anti-Balaka Christian militia and was killed in an ambush, the reports said.

Two Minute Stories
One up on the Irish
There was no subterfuge … just silent bidding. Timothy Curran, Arts '97, went to work when the pastor of his family's Catholic parish offered the naming rights for the street flanking their church and kids' school in a fundraising auction. Tim's stealth won the night and the top prize. A "Marquette Place" street sign now stands less than a mile from Notre Dame campus much to the chagrin of many of the school parents and faculty members who are ND grads. "Our choice has not been, shall we say, well-received," writes Carol Zanoni Curran, Arts '97.
Need a nurse?
God bless these alumnae who've reunited since 1989 to lunch, reminisce and talk all things nursing. They range from World War II era to present day and share heaps of nursing education, practice and knowledge. Although one of the founding members, Virginia Duero, Nurs '54, passed away, the group continues to reconnect without fail each June and December.
We virtually toast these nurses who treasure their Marquette connection: Corrine Drexler Ebmeier, Nurs '60; Donna Lawrence, Nurs '55; Mary Mayer Tlachac, Nurs '61; Diana Hankes, Grad '77: Joan Mulligan, Nurs '42; Mary Jane Schank Doney, Grad '80; E. Charlotte Theis, Nurs '53; Ruth Stollenwerk Ritter, Nurs '52; Beverly Thomas, Nurs '64; and Terry Tobin, Nurs '60, who continues to teach one elective at Marquette.

What is Prescribing information?
The FDA package insert formatted in easy-to-find categories for health professionals and clinicians.
Nitro-Dur FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
Adverse reactions to nitroglycerin are generally dose related, and almost all of these reactions are the result of nitroglycerin's activity as a vasodilator. Headache, which may be severe, is the most commonly reported side effect. Headache may be recurrent with each daily dose, especially at higher doses. Transient episodes of lightheadedness, occasionally related to blood pressure changes, may also occur.
Hypotension occurs infrequently, but in some patients it may be severe enough to warrant discontinuation of therapy. Syncope, crescendo angina, and rebound hypertension have been reported but are uncommon.
Allergic reactions to nitroglycerin are also uncommon, and the great majority of those reported have been cases of contact dermatitis or fixed drug eruptions in patients receiving nitroglycerin in ointments or patches. There have been a few reports of genuine anaphylactoid reactions, and these reactions can probably occur in patients receiving nitroglycerin by any route.
Extremely rarely, ordinary doses of organic nitrates have caused methemoglobinemia in normal-seeming patients. Methemoglobinemia is so infrequent at these doses that further discussion of its diagnosis and treatment is deferred (see OVERDOSAGE).
Application-site irritation may occur but is rarely severe.
In two placebo-controlled trials of intermittent therapy with nitroglycerin patches at 0.2 to 0.8 mg/hr, the most frequent adverse reactions among 307 subjects were as follows:
|Hypotension, and/or Syncope
|Increased Angina

Turntable Talk with Summer Altice: Interview with Q-Tip
Playmate Summer Altice puts her DJ knowledge to the test in an exclusive interview with Q-Tip.
I can remember it like it was yesterday. I was 12 years old when I heard my first A Tribe Called Quest song. "Award Tour" came on the radio and I froze…just sat and listened. I immediately went out to buy that tape at the record store down the street from me (back then we had tapes and records, not CDs). I still rock that album like it was a gift from Santa on Christmas.
I really didn't know what hip-hop was at the age of 12, but when I heard that song, I knew I had to hear more of where it came from. Listening to hip-hop was like listening to a bedtime story; I ALWAYS had to hear one…and I couldn't go to sleep without one. And if hip-hop was the story, the storyteller I loved most was Q-Tip. His melodic voice and fresh rhymes kept me coming back for more. So you can understand that when I was presented with the opportunity to interview him for my first column, I jumped at it. After clearly having to compose myself and calm the screaming 12-year-old inside me, I sat down and thought, well, what am I going to ask him? And then like water through a faucet it just started to flow.
Altice: You started out as a DJ alongside Red Alert and now several years later, after much success with ATCQ and solo, you have ventured back to DJing. Any particular reason?
Q-Tip: I just love it, and I felt like there is a void in the club scene. You can go to any club anywhere and hear all Top 40, or dance
and electronic, and some cats are cool, there are some levels of creativity that go into it, but it really goes into their own personal mixes.
They stamp the party with their own mixes of current hits, different mixes, or their own creations, but so much of the stuff that it comes from, the OG stuff, is what's been missing. A lot of open-format stuff is also hard to find.
So for many years I have been playing spots like LIFE, which I did with Mark Ronson. Then we each did our own thing at this spot Table 50 and then The Ace.
I have always tried to keep the good party going, playing spots where it's open format, 'cause I just felt something was missing. In the long run, the reason why I still do it is because I'm filling a void. I love it. I love doing it and watching people move and what they react to. And I use it as a way to discover new records and meld them with old and all that, and I just felt it's a void 'cause there are a lot of guys that do the same thing.
Altice: What are your favorite recent gigs?
Q-Tip: My favorite gig is probably the gig I used to do at The Ace Hotel. Those are really fun 'cause I got to spin a whole bunch of stuff like Lil Wayne, "A Milli" rocking with "'Whatcha See is Whatcha Get" by the Dramatics. I did a blend of those things, it was really working. And Stephanie Mills, "Something In The Way You Make Me Feel" acapella with "Be Happy" – Mary J. Blige. I would do different mixes down here that was really killing and the system was dope, so those parties are really fun.
Altice: What was your most memorable night as a DJ?
Q-Tip: When I was DJin' at this spot called Mars in the city, '89 maybe, it was amazing. Me and Ali, we DJed there, it was great.
Altice: What is your go-to equipment or DJ program, or do you still prefer vinyl?
Q-Tip: I really do prefer vinyl but I DJ on Serato and Traktor with vinyl. I like the feel.
Altice: Do you find the advances in technology a positive or a negative for the DJ world? Some would say there are too many people out there who "think they a DJ." Do you agree?
Q-Tip: Yes, everybody can't do it all. Just because you have a playlist and an iPod, you put it on when friends are over, it doesn't make you a DJ.
But on the other hand, I love the encouragement and inquisitiveness of folks into the whole world [of DJing], but you really have to submerge yourself with all different types of music. Sometimes not just your taste.
I have seen DJs, very well known DJs that people really check out, and I'll watch them play sometimes and they will just play and don't even read the room. They will just play their taste, and they will kind of lose them. But we are in a society where people are so taken by celebrities and personalities that "celebrity DJs" are playing this uneducated music, people will still stand and groove with them. So they will keep going, playing the shit that only they like.
And that's not good. You gotta read crowds and understand the temperature, you gotta know what records move where, if something doesn't work how to get out of it, you set records up, sometimes you will start out with one song just to get to that fifth song. You will set it up four or five songs prior to the one you know is really gonna hit.
Some cats don't even know how to do that. So it's really a study, you can't just up and say, "Oh I am a DJ, look," you gotta really understand music and understand emotion and how to read rooms.
Some cats lean on the Top 40 crutch and only play that stuff, and it works but it's not really any advancement of your personality as a DJ, you are just a Push n Play.
Altice: Watch the Throne was one of my favorite albums of the year, so I have to ask, what was it like working with Kanye?
Q-Tip: It was cool. He is a very talented guy, he likes to push the envelope, meld and mix and match. He is really an orchestrator, I would say. And a friend, so it was cool.
[The day I interviewed him, Q-Tip signed with G.O.O.D. Music, Kanye West's record label. Fat Joe, a well-known rapper and collaborator of Kanye's, said to MTV recently he believes his recent deal with Yeezy's G.O.O.D. Music will further cement he is a musical genius. "Smartest thing Kanye West ever did," Joe said of the signing.]
Altice: I personally believe hip-hop needs to get back to its roots. Do you agree?
Q-Tip: Yes, it's always good to come back home, but there is a way you have to do it. You can't necessarily just hop in a time machine and go back. You have to take things from then and be able to apply it with today's finesse and vernacular, so that it could be fresh.
Altice: I am thinking along the lines of the rampant materialism that has become so much a part of hip-hop, like "Beamer, Benz, or Bentley," "Rack City," etc. It's not storytelling anymore, it's about who has the most shit.
Q-Tip: I think it's also a reflection of the time. I just feel society breeds those things, people are more invested in the individual than the unit. Your status in society more than your moral achievement. These things have become commonplace so when guys are saying "rack city, bitch, rack, rack city, bitch," or talking about the Benz or Maybach or how many birds they moved and shit (reference to drugs), is just the extension of the psychology of America. When we turn on the TV we see reality TV shows, predominantly women fighting each other, having nonsense arguments, then ones with winning prizes, competitions, one out to be the best, it's all of this attention put on the individual in high society.
The irony is that as a society we are in the worst economic place we have been for some time and people are out of work, and America's position in the rest of the world is questionable at times, so we here in America are living this utopia via media outlets, or TV or what have you. These things and these ideas have been perpetrated mostly by hip-hop music and hip-hop artists, and that usually happens because the predominant number of hip-hop artists are black, and they come up in poor neighborhoods where the education system is broken, so they are forced to watch TV and listen to all these things, so it affects their voice.
I think that when they say these things, we need to examine who we are as people. I don't think there should be a silence to that voice, but there should be the alternative voice as well – a good balance.
Altice: Where do you think the hottest women are?
Q-Tip: Oh, wow…I have been all over – I can't say there is one place, but Sweden, Brazil, New York, Houston…
Altice: What was the New York club scene like when you came up, as opposed to now?
Q-Tip: It was plentiful, more places to go, laws were not as restricted. The World, Roxy, Funhouse, The Garage, Cuando, Palladium, Club 54, The Ritz, you had so many dope clubs back then that it was endless. I used to just love going out, hanging out, every night there was something to do. People really danced back then, they went out dancing, it was fun.
Altice: The first time you saw "Bonita Applebum," was she dancing?
Q-Tip: [Laughs] Yeah, she was certainly dancing.
Altice: Last question: will we see a show with all the original ATCQ members in the future?
Q-Tip: Performing, you never know, but another album, no.
You just never know, it's always a possibility.
There it is, folks…I could have listened to him talk all day…about just about anything. But he gave me such a new perspective on the art of DJing: he made me want to stop and check myself and go back to what I love about DJin'. And to remember that it's not just about where you play and for how many people. It's about the quality first…and to always keep working…keep pushing and to keep listening.
Q-Tip's new album, The Last Zulu, will be out on G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam next year.

VIDEO: More from Guy Maddin
My Winnipeg is, he says, a documentary about his home town, and he insists that everything in it is true. I can believe that 5000 Nazis took over Winnipeg on "If Day" in 1942 and maybe even that his mother starred on a TV show that ran for 50 years called Ledge Man in which every day she talked a man out of committing suicide. But one of the film's claims I just can't accept, and when I get a chance to talk with Maddin, I have to ask him about it.
Tell me that the story about the horses freezing solid in the river was a legend, because otherwise it's just too sad.It is sad, and it did happen, and you can double-check that one. Eleven horses had their heads stuck for the course of winter above the surface of the ice. But the movie as a whole is about one-third fact, one-third legend, and one-third opinion.
So it's your basic Michael Moore movie.
It may be looked at that way. I wanted to make it like a film equivalent to a W.G. Sebald book, where he sets out on a stroll and ends up digressing and winds up in a really interesting place. It doesn't matter whether Sebald really went on the stroll or not, he's managed to cobble together a wonderful trip, and you realize the landscape that he covered with his feet doesn't matter as much as the landscape of his heart.
But Ledge Man — this is a landscape of the heart, I'm assuming.
No. It was a TV version of a movie called Fourteen Hours. It was on TV when I was a kid. But it's not in the IMDB or anything . . .
But your mother didn't star in it . . .
She did. She'd dash off from the beauty salon and act in it. She was on the show the entire run, but there were different men over the years. Some of them went over the edge because they weren't paid anything. Sometimes the camera man would go on the ledge for a while if the actor didn't show. I remember watching her on the set.

The Holocaust, undated

Verbena, Pascal (1941), France
BiographyPascal Verbena was born in Marseille, France. He lived in the Old Port district, where his mother was a fishmonger. At the age of 16 he went off to work on a cargo freighter. On his return, he decided to join the navy. He married some years later, became the father of a child and found a night job in the Post Office in Marseille. By day, he would fish in the local calanques (rocky inlets) and salvage pieces of floating wood, which he then stored in his workshop before bringing them back to life.
Pascal Verbena's passion for hiding-places is the leitmotif running through his work. He makes mechanically activated wooden constructions. His works incorporate a plethora of sliding doors, drawers, flaps and sundry cavities which conceal small figures or abstract forms sculpted from the same material.
He has also made reredos and carved pictures, the principal subjects of which are imaginary animals. His most recent works are fashioned from bark, stones and boat wreckage.

text: I have one of the original M9 Steyrs and am very happy with it. It handles and shoots a lot like a Glock, which to me is not a bad thing. The trapezoid sights are great for up close shooting, but at longer ranges (15+ yds) I prefer the conventional type sights. It is a very good quality gun, with machine work and finish comparable to a Glock or Sig. I have not shot one of the A1 series yet, but for the right price I don't see how you could go wrong.

We've only really known the sultry sexpot Rachel McAdams for the last decade in Hollywood, but she's been busy stripping down in many of her films.
We've only really known the sultry sexpot that is Rachel McAdams for the last decade in Hollywood; this Canadian import rose to fame after low-budget television roles by switching her curvaceous body with funny man Rob Schneider's in The Hot Chick. Though we'd rather forget that his persona was inside that skimpy pink bikini and that hilarious stripper scene, it set the starlet on a path to much bigger things.
Stripping in The Hot Chick
McAdams won over the general public with her role alongside our January 2012 cover girl, Lindsay Lohan, as sexy bitch Regina King in the 2004 breakout hit Mean Girls. Later that year, McAdams shacked up — on screen and in real life — with fellow Canuck actor Ryan Gosling in the romantic drama The Notebook. While the film drew every female within 50 miles to gawk at the softcore tearjerker, McAdams' hot sex scenes were welcome to the film's forced male audience who were dragged by their girlfriends and wives to see the flick.
After some more comedic roles such as opposite Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughan in Wedding Crashers and the dark thriller Red Eye, McAdams headed back to her Rom-Com roots with The Time Traveler's Wife, where she showed a bit of skin, and then on to the critically acclaimed Sherlock Holmes reboot and its sequel alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, where she played the notorious and witty femme Irene Adler.

It was the biggest thing to hit Chicago since the Great Fire. The largest tourist attraction in the country, and grandfather to Walt Disney's theme parks. It introduced the world to the Ferris Wheel, chewing gum and the "hootchykootchy". Its exhibits inspired Henry Ford to envision his horseless carriage.
The Chicago World's Fair of 1893 also highlighted the fledgling field of anthropology, and led directly to the founding of The Field Museum. As a lead sponsor of Opening the Vaults: Wonders of the 1893 World's Fair, Allstate is proud to help the Museum re-create the excitement of that event and share treasures from its collection -- some not seen in public since the Fair closed. Specimens, artifacts, media and interactive exhibits will bring to life one of the most spectacular events in the Windy City's history.
Allstate has a long history in Chicago, going back more than 80 years. We have dedicated our good hands to strengthening and improving the places where we live and work. That's why we were lead corporate sponsor for the City of Chicago's Cultural Plan 2012. It's why we support programs in public safety and violence prevention, as well as dozens of organizations from "One Book, One Chicago" to the Bronzeville Children's Museum.
We also are pleased that many students from the Chicago Public Schools, especially those from low-income families, will be able to share this unique look at their city's history.
After seeing the marvels along Chicago's lakefront in 1893, author Hamlin Garland wrote his parents: "Sell the cookstove if necessary and come. You must see the Fair." Now The Field Museum is bringing those wonders back to life, and enthralling visitors once again. Enjoy this extraordinary exhibit.

attached you will see an image of my hive. actually, no you won't because the photo won't inserti just get a red exclamation point no matter how small or what format i make it. oh well, i'll describe it.
the hive is made from 10 frame medium super langstroth boxes with foundationless frames. the top box has a screen and is used as the quilt which is open into a "garden hive" roof which has vents that can be opened and closed. currently it is without the quilt box in place because it is 100°F and humidity is never a problem in Utah. the bottom board is screened (currently with inspection tray removed because of the heat) and sits on cast iron claw foot tub feet. i dolled it us with bron hardware handle and wood ribs. it unpainted (waxed) cypress. it is a pretty hive that looks half way between a WBC hive and a pot belly stove. i will try another time to get pictures up.
admittedly it is not a standard Warré in dimensions, but in principle and management i follow the Warré model.
i received a colony in 2 langstroth 10 frame deeps in late march. it was a cold spring and the bees more or less stayed hunkered down. the new hive was finished in April and i inverted the old hive brood box on top on the new hive, but the bees refused to move out. after a few weeks of waiting, i removed the old hive body and shook the bee into the new hive and gave them a few frames of honey and the only brood frame. there were about two-three frames of bees. by mid may, they had not made any effort to make new comb on the foundationless frames and were just reworking the deep frames. there were less bees, i could not locate the queen and there was only a small patch of open brood and no eggs. i assumed my queen had died and bought a new one. the bee supply told me to remove all the old honey and insert a feeder to get them to make new comb on the foundationless frames. this is did.
while installing the new queen i did locate the old queen. she was jet black like a german bee (explains why i keep getting stung when i am not even working the hive and why the drones were all black). she also had very tattered wings. my assumption is that she was old and failing and that was why there was so few larva. i also found a few supercedure cells on the back side of the brood patch. i removed the honey, the old queen and the supercedure cells, added the feeder and the new queen in her cage. and waited a week. a week later i removed the candy and let out the new queen (italian-carniolan hybrid). the bees were in a ball hanging off a frame bar as if in a swarm.
a few weeks later there was a small 1"x2" piece of comb started on one side of the only drawn deep frame left in the hive and a larger 4x4" piece on the other side. only the larger had bees on it. i pulled it out and saw it was full of small larvae and replaced it but never saw the queen.
a week later and the larvae are begining to get capped, but there are only enough bees left to cover both sides of the now maybe 4"x5" comb and as much in other areas of the hive doing what bees do (plus those out foraging). there are bees coming and going and pollen coming in, but not many. no mites to be seen and no other signs of diseases, but the colony is getting very small. there is no brood on the old deep frame, just new honey production and pollen. i moved the small new free comb to be next to the other newly drawn free comb and not on the other side of the honey so the queen would have access to it and to perhaps start the bees working it more.
my questions and concerns (as well as my assumptions).
first off i assume that the lack of new comb is due to the fact that they small colony does not need it right now and can only cover the small patch of brood it has and the colony's small size is due to a failing queen and requeening and then the lag time for the new brood to mature. this and possibly a bit of compounding issues with a long cold spring and the transfer to the new hive. i am very concerned how small the colony is.
there is no longer brood on the last deep frame from the old hive. should i remove it and the last bit of honey and place it with the other old and full frames of honey which are about 10 feet away in the old hive body being robbed by at least two other colonies based on the color of the bees, but ignored by my bees. with old the hive to rob, the internal feeder and the good nectar flow we are having, would it be ok to remove this last bit of honey? i don't want them to move the brood to this old frame again. i would like to see more comb construction. are they not making any new comb because they don't need any more at present due to the small colony size/brood they can cover and a whole deep frame mostly open for any nectar coming in?
thoughts? advice? words of encouragement? what have i done right and what have i done wrong? what should i expect? what should i watch for?
sorry for the long post. i have a lot on my mind.

Spin that Webb young Davis
If anyone on ESPN has hate it is Jaworski. I don't know if it is his Eagle's background or just him but he 99% of the time never give any credit to the Giants for anything. But, as said before their opinions don't mean a whole lot. I still am glad they broke the nerd trio of Jaworski, Hogge and Kolber apart though. The goofy laughs, the constant increase in volume and the "I watched the tape" from Hogge and Jaworski used to make me vomit.
The lower we are ranked, the better we seem to play. He's a secret Giant fan. Thank you Mr. Clayton. Keep up the "good" work.
Believe it or not but these guys like Clayton really do take their job seriously. So, when they get burned as Clayton has, and when he gets reminded of it all the time like I'm sure he does, the hatred stays deep and it comes out when he gives his opinion about the Giants. Imagine you're at work and your coworker keeps showing you up and rubbing it in your face, well that's how Clayton feels all the time. Personnaly, I thinks it's funny and as long as he keeps his hatred up then I know he still burns.. As others do.
ESPN hates the New York Giants, if you haven't caught on now you never will. Stephen A is our only supporter.
Last I checked John Clayton and the ESPN rankings didn't get you into the playoffs....
But yeah, if i pay any attention to ESPN's work, it's also on the NFC East site, where Dan Graziano does a nice job. That's actually where I see the power rankings each week, where even Dan is quick to point out that Clayton's not feelin' the Giants (...as usual)
As always with them, gotta take it with a grain of salt.
Sorry to be a realist...but our Giants have only beaten 3 teams. Browns, Bucs, and Panthers...who have a combined record of 2-12. So I'm going to go ahead and agree with him at 14.
Explain to me why not?
Biggest loser on ESPN if we went 11-0 from here he would have us ranked15 to 18. He's a little punk. I turn of the television everytime he's on. Tom Jackson always supports the Giants and I take his view on us better then Clayton.

What a bunch of creeps. Thank you for being alert PAPD ... this would be so easy to miss and do nothing about and just file a report and forget ... great job!
Wow ... sgsdfgasdg, thanks you for posting that map, I was wondering where Lot R was.
As it turns out, one night months ago my girlfriend and I were parked in that lot and coming back from eating dinner and seeing a movie. We noticed a group of people just hanging out at the top by the stairs and did not think anything of it. As we got to the car and got in started the engine, the crowd had not moved and something just did not sit right with me. It was just odd that they were hanging out in the parking lot doing nothing.
I ended up giving the PAPD a call and reporting them, and feeling kind of silly doing that, in fact after I reported them I felt kind of like I was wasting PAPD's time. After reading this I feel a sense of confidence in my gut that there was just something not right.
It make me wonder what experiences in life would cause people to do stuff like this? What is wrong with some people?

These people were addicts obviously. Many countries have looked at how they deal with drugs and addiction, crafting new laws that have very much reduced crime by junkies. We don't have those laws so we'll continue to "revolving door" these sort of people. We have a different approach here so we'll be able to see these people on the street again soon, likely stealing some more to feed their habit.
We'll be able to say "Yeah PD" a lot more, but the problem will not go away. In the current system, junkies will continue to steal to feed their habit.
In the mean time, they've just left more of your stuff in your home for the next junkie to try and take.

@Enlgander - how about we look at Singapore as a model country for drafting our drug laws. It is safer, cleaner, and has a lower incarcerations rate than, for example, The Netherlands.

@Mr.Recycle, ...or Afghan hill country tribal justice for that matter, huh!
We can be brutal and achieve a goal or we can try to be compassionate and achieve the same goal. America has always been historically against brutality, so its probably why I lean in the direction of compassion.
Some places cut hands off and stone people in the public square. Effective yes, I guess, but I think its pretty f'd up myself.

Remember that Singapore is a dictatorship. A benign dictatorship, but still a dictatorship.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Apr 1, 2013 at 7:08 pm
Enlgander > These people were addicts obviously.
The problem is not that they were addicts, but that they were "institutional" addicts, I mean to say they had their own little criminal culture, which is a real turn-on for these people, probably as much as the drugs. All the little psychological cues that they loved about being addicts are probably tripled by having close friends to do it with, and to be thieves ... recall the expression "thick as thieves".
I think it's very difficult for these three to change their lives even if they want badly to, it will be nearly impossible given their culture and environment - not that I don't hope for the best. Let them try prison for a while, and meanwhile I wonder if there is any way they can get them to talk about their associates ... they could be part of a local mob group or gang.
I still think this was amazingly lucky and the PAPD was really on the job getting these guys ... so great!

Slag Symbol
A new elemental effect to Borderlands 2. When enemies are coated by slag from either slag equipment or slag barrels, it will cause them to take more damage from any further damage received including slag weapons. The effects will wear off so only damage done while the enemy is coated will end in causing additional damage.
Upon further game advancement (Such as missions in the Wildlife Exploitation Preserve) it comes to be revealed that all the uses for slag are not fully understood. It is one of the many by-products of the new element EridiumSpoiler - Click to see/hide

I have a remote digital thermometer nailed to the inside of my TBH about 3/4 way back.
Hive dimensions: 43" long
18" wide at the top tapering to 11" at bottom
The hive floor has a 2" screened bottom and sits about 2" above on a wooden bench on bricks.
The entrance to the hive is the width of the bottom: 11"
The cover is metal. When the summer temperature lingered around 100 F and above, I put a Styrofoam board in the cover for insulation.
The temperature stays a constant 98.8 F whether it is below 0 or 104 degrees. It is in full sun.
The hive is a May '12 swarm from one of my hives. It was the second swarm from the hive, hence the queen was virgin. In 6 weeks it was entirely filled out. It is healthy and very active. A bit of burr comb in the back behind the thermometer.
I placed a copper twisted ring around the TBH and a crystal on top of a Bee CD (fractal patterning transfer set up).

Two Days in the Life of GWBNews at Home
If you like the service HNN provides, please consider making a donation.
Throughout, say, the Coolidge administration, political observers could be content with writing only weekly diatribes or paeans about Cal's languorous ways. Nixon, on the other hand, offered daily-update opportunities for opinion factories. His tortured and abysmal terms were the 20th-century high point for political commentary. True, discerning opinion maintained a steady one-way course, since Dick obliged by being so steadily corrupt, but a column a day could still pretty much provide an accurate and necessary record of the 37th president's infamy.
All that has passed.
Today, with George Junior in office, a daily column couldn't begin to offer enough perspective on all the weird executive branch goings-on. Two a day wouldn't cut it, nor even three. One would have to write a 1000-word column every 30 minutes to keep up. The Bushies are a wily bunch -- and forever on the move.
As proof, I offer a few news stories from a mere 2-day period in June: the 18th and 19th, chosen wholly at random. In just 48 hours the Bush administration and its obedient minions did enough to keep commentators' heads spinning for months.
On the 18th the New York Times reported in a headline: "G.O.P. Dismisses Questions on Banned Arms Proof in Iraq." Well, isn't that special. Mr. Bush characterized any questioning of this, the biggest foreign policy fiasco in American history, as "revisionist." One of his top national security advisors predicted the administration "can ride this out" -- demonstrating an utter lack of regard for any original honesty -- and God love him, Newt Gingrich reappeared long enough to confirm that only "the literary class that dislikes Bush and dislikes American activism is thrilled to have this question to raise."
The literary class? And how was it these questions came to arise?
Reuters reported the same day that the president "will not tolerate" -- his words -- nuclear arms in Iran. Good for him. We can't have rogue nations led by rogue leaders running around with rogue WMD (as Iraq was doing, yes?). Perhaps if Iran concentrates on nuclear "bunker blasters" rather than conventional nuclear weapons it'll become ok by us. We like bunker blasters: they're nuclear, but not that nuclear.
Then, a day later, man-of-his-word Secretary of State Colin Powell announced that "no issue is of greater urgency" to the administration than North Korea's WMD developments. As the Washington Post reported, Powell's remarks "suggested" that North Korea "has begun to supplant Iraq and the unsatisfactory search for its weapons of mass destruction as [the administration's] central focus." Or hocus-pocus.
During this 48-hour period Mr. Bush also issued a stern federal ban on racial profiling; a ban, that is, which permits racial profiling. The new policy "does nothing to stop it," said an American Civil Liberties Union spokeswoman. "It's largely a rhetorical statement." Mere rhetoric from the Bush people? No doubt the ACLU lady is a member of "the literary class."
Also during this 2-day period White House political chieftains deleted scientific findings on global warming from a forthcoming Environmental Protection Agency report; the president made clear his intention to open more wounds with Senate Democrats by suggesting a Ken Starr lackey for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit (second in legal authority only to the Supreme Court); and Bush lapdog strategist Grover Norquist assured Washington Post columnist David Broder that conservatives "are going to dig out [Democrats'] whole structure of programs and power." That includes quite a bit, like your Social Security and mine.
All this, in 48 hours. The torrent of ideological coups and political deceptions stemming from the Bush administration now pose an impossible task for the commentariat: to inform through perspective. There just isn't enough time.

Last Wednesday I met with Microsoft's Andy Lees, President of the Windows Phone Division, to talk about the company's new smartphones. During our meeting, though, my eyes kept flickering over to the television set running Xbox 360 across the room. It was sporting the new media dashboard that's rolling out in November. And the Mango-powered smartphone in my hand was the perfect remote.
It's not only because Microsoft had just scored a big deal to bring a whole slew of TV content to Xbox, and I'm a remarkably typical television-loving American. I love smartphones, too; I covered the Windows Phone 7 launch event for Wired almost exactly a year ago. But I've always been more interested in how smartphones (including WinPhone7) pull together devices and services. I've also long been fascinated by how Xbox has helped reboot our assumptions for media interfaces in the living room. I've been closely tracking Windows 8's increasingly form-factor agnostic approach to desktop computing. But between the Xbox and the Windows Phone, here were two very different kinds of "personal computers." Both are inherently capable, and even more compelling used together — and there wasn't a traditional Windows machine in sight.
For example, there's a new Windows Phone app for Mango called "Xbox Companion." Now, there are already plenty of smartphone remote applications. But Microsoft's version does two smart things: It doesn't just change the channel on the Xbox, but can pull and identify content from it, context-dependent based on what you're already watching.
Here's a scenario Microsoft's Derek Snyder demonstrated. You're watching an animated film on the Xbox. You can almost-but-not-quite recognize one of the voices. So you pull out your phone to look it up. So far, this is pretty typical of how most people use their smartphones or tablets while watching video. Instead of looking it up on Google or imdb.com, you open up the companion app.
There you find a button for "what's happening now." This automatically pulls up a card with all the top-line information about the movie you're watching on the Xbox, including cast. Each of these entries are in turn hot-linked to a Bing search that finds all related content that can be played on the Xbox — mostly movies, music or television shows. Once you find something here, you can select it to begin playing on screen immediately.
What's more, it doesn't just do this over Wi-Fi, if the Xbox and WinPhone are on the same local network. It can do it completely through the cloud, using the common Windows Live ID on both devices. If the Xbox had 3G/4G cellular data like the Windows Phone does, you wouldn't even need a local router. "It just knows the Xbox and the Xbox knows it," Snyder said.
This phrase caught my attention. Let me explain why I think it's important.
Actor-Network Theory for your living room
This is why identity services, whether through Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, Twitter or anyone else, are increasingly key to personal computing. All of the devices are networked communicators (so they need access to services like Skype or FaceTime or Google Talk, as well as your social graph), all of the devices are storefronts for apps, games and media (so they need access to your billing information), and all of them are personalized for each user and synchronized for each account, so they can port media and messaging and even simple information like a channel flip from one device to another.
From an input perspective, that distributed recognition on the network means everything on it hooks together, in a way that's arguably more seamless even than on or between Apple devices. There's no separate look-up or entry from machine to machine, and within each machine, no need to copy and paste from app to app.
("Although we do copy and paste!" Lees told me when I made this observation. "I just wanted to bring that up, you know," he laughed. "I'm sorry we didn't get it into this [first] version [of Windows Phone 7], I'm sorry.")
The point, however, is to make copy-and-paste move from impossible (remember how few smartphones could implement it with any facility just five years ago?) to unnecessary. Once you pair a smartphone and all of its sensors with a sophisticated game console like the Xbox with Kinect and all of its sensors, you have a staggering range of input possibilities: game controllers and traditional remotes, virtualized versions of both on the smartphone, both voice and gestures, whether on the smartphone and Kinect.
When you design the experience for those kinds of input, it quickly becomes impossible to assume file-and-folder-style nested hierarchies. Instead, you open up all sorts of other possibilities to push and pull information from one point to another. You open up touch, voice, gesture, and automated and artificial intelligence of all kinds. And the smartphone becomes a natural focal point for that, because its sensors and communication capabilities are already inherently so rich.
But there's also a bit of sorcery there. It just knows the Xbox and the Xbox knows it. "It knows" without my intervention, except as a first mover and witness. My Live ID — just an electronic impression in the data center — is enough to link the two directly. From a mile-high view, every device on the network is equally an agent/participant, including the user.
Continue reading 'Three Screens And A Cloud' …
"Three screens and a cloud" was Ray Ozzie's mantra when he was chief software architect at Microsoft. The idea is that desktop, mobile, and entertainment/living room experiences each require their own form factors, tied together by backend services that pull those devices together — and furthermore, that all of them in unison serve the function formerly known as "personal computing."
Ozzie's vision is becoming realized, and not only at Microsoft. Whether you're talking about Apple's new iCloud, Google's push to bring thin-client operating systems to everything from enterprise notebooks to TV sets, or even Amazon's cloud-backed Kindle Fire tablet, you see the same logic at work.
The differences between companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple and others can be found mostly in their experimentation with exactly how many screens are viable, and where those devices fit — in your house or office, on or around your body, or in the interstices of your day. Is an iPad-sized tablet a laptop-like computer, a mobile device, a living room machine, or a bit of all three? Where do e-readers and mobile gaming/music devices fit in? Are there still meaningful differences between portable laptops and stationary desktops, even if they run the same OS? How much ought office and enterprise hardware and software resemble the consumer experience, and in which direction(s) should innovation flow? How much computing power (rather than simple sync and storage) do you push from a local machine into the centralized backend? When even RIM's vaunted central services crash, and a demand spike makes Apple's new cloud-based backups and updates fail, how much ought users trust their cloud services for reliability, security or privacy?
But Microsoft, as you might expect, probably exemplifies the "three screens and a cloud" philosophy most ideally. Between the consumer and enterprise markets, it probably has the most robust cloud service, and between Windows 7/8, Windows Phone 7/7.5, and Xbox 360, it has three major screens and operating systems to run on them. All three increasingly borrow UI elements from each other and share backend and development resources, but they also pair and partner well.
I think this is crucial to understanding the metastasis both of the cloud metaphor and the idea of the personal computer as the "digital hub." There is no hub any more, no defined center of activity. Or if there is a center, it's no longer a workstation packed with ports, cables, a big processor and a bigger hard drive.
It's you. Plus the data center — which carries your electronic impression. And every interface in between.
Our multi-screen future
Already, according to Nielsen, 40 percent of smartphone and tablet owners are pairing them with a television. Over time, that ad hoc multi-screen network will become a formal one; Microsoft's is just one of several visions for how that formalization will work.
For instance, this is one reason many of us are particularly excited about the possibilities of Apple's new Siri virtual assistant. It already combines natural input, smart cloud processing, and non-hierarchical, non-app-dependent push and pull of information. It doesn't matter whether the AI moves either beyond the iPhone to work natively on Apple's entire product line, or goes through it, like Microsoft's Windows Phones or the iPhone and iPad remote control applications today, as a secondary input device. Either way, it opens up not just one node in the new personal computing network, but several.
The trick is that because of the cloud, designing for individual form factors — one or more of Microsoft's "three screens" — is both more and less important than ever before. It's more important because it helps determine the interface and targets both our behavior and our time. You could say it's less important than ever before, because all of the devices are more capable, and more of the storage and computing action happens off site.
But, once the devices start communicating effortlessly to each other, then it becomes something else, neither more nor less important, but transformative. Instead of designing for specific devices, you have to design for device networks. Increasingly, the design won't just enable communication between post-PC devices, but will assume it.
The precise nature of those assumptions still need to be worked out. Some of these networks may be partial — not everyone will have every kind of device. Others may be heterogeneous. Right now, most of the synchronicity is between all-Microsoft, all-Apple or all-Google setups. History suggests that if the big companies don't find ways to get their devices talking to each other, users will.
But remember, the first GUI personal computers from Xerox, Apple and Microsoft required redesigning computing for that first "network" of computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse and printer. Those assumptions weren't automatic either. And in fact they're evolving still. We're still finding ways to push the definition of personal computing a little farther forward.

Question: Clay in particular. Do you have any double screens for this is what they were originally designed to do
As a matter of fact Dee I have lots of double screen boards. However when I shook down I gave brood to other colonies. Then when I shook those hives down I put the brood on top of the honey supers of the regressed ones. Similar to demaree. I then cut the cells in a few days. The bees emerged and the bees filled the combs with honey and just worked them out that way. Kind of like working culled transition combs out also.

Every store seems to have one aberrational rack that's priced lower than at any other place; get into the habit of scanning prices so you recognize a deal when you see one. Other money-savers: Nikki's has a Beer of the Month, with entire portfolios discounted (they also have tastings most Thursdays from 6-8 pm). And variety 12-packs do double duty, cutting costs and doing the mixing for you (People's has the best selection of samplers).
Here's the negative entry: Stores shouldn't sell old beer. OK, sell old beer at half-price (or less). But don't foist year-old stock on your customers. Last week I saw four-packs of Oskar Blues' G'Knight which were canned more than a year ago. Criminal —especially at $15/$16! Some beers age quite nicely, but not imperial IPAs. At least most inferior stores lend discriminating beer buyers a clue by not dusting their musty stock, though discriminating beer buyers shouldn't return to inferior stores — even for half-price or less stock.
And many stores that pride themselves on their beer selection and knowledge need to step it up. When I call around to check on new releases, often from best-selling craft brewers, the "beer guy" is clueless ("Hoptimum? Is that a seasonal? We might get a case"). All they need to do is spend a few minutes on the aforementioned forums to know what they need to get on the shelf.
The 6th Annual Great International Spring Beer Festival will pour it on at the Rhode Island Convention Center, 1 Sabin St, Providence, on Saturday, April 14 from 1-4:30 and 6:30-10 pm. Standout brewers (many also slated for the Newport Craft Beer Fest are noted with an * in the following item ) include: Berkshire, Blue Hills*, Brooklyn*, Cape Ann*, the Craft Beer Guild of RI (Clown Shoes, Sixpoint*, Kentucky Ale, Green Flash), Elevated Spirits (TBA), Grey Sail*, Harpoon*, Ithaca, Lagunitas*, Long Trail, Mayflower*, Narragansett*, Newport Storm*, Olde Burnside*, Offshore, Opa Opa, Otter Creek, Paper City, Sebago*, Shipyard, Trinity Brewhouse*, Union Station*, and Woodstock Inn* (which is being distributed in our market again, by the way). Tix are $40 @ beerfestamerica.com.
Big news from the City By the Sea: The First Annual Newport Craft Beer Festival, sponsored by Pour Judgement, the great craft beer bar on Broadway, and Newport Storm, will take place on the lawn of the Great Friends Meeting House (30 Farewell St) on Saturday, April 28 from 2-6 pm. Hank Whitin, co-owner of Pour Judgement, says, "It will be a 'different' kind of beer festival, with the focus on personal interaction between the brewers and guests." Here's who has signed on so far: all of the pourers with an asterisk in the previous item , plus Full Sail, Heavy Seas (those two had to represent in Newport!), Stone, Coddington, and Wachusett. The South Shore Homebrew Club will be plying their trade and offering tips to budding artisans. And there will be music and food from lower Broadway eateries. Tix are $45 (only 500 will be sold); get 'em at NewportCraftBeerFestival.com; proceeds benefit the Newport Historical Society.

What are some good beekeeping books out there that you all would recommend?
What are some good beekeeping books out there that you all would recommend?
My favorite beekeeping book is "The Practical Beekeeper" by Michael Bush. Michael Bush happens to be a board member.
I was told to get the ( Hive and the honeybee) , I haven't read it yet but a very seasoned beekeeper said he wished someone would have told him about it when he was starting out. I didn't get the authors name , maybe someone here is familiar with the book , I did a search and came up with more than one author.
I had both of Richard Bonney's books, "Beekeeping, A Practical Guide" and "Hive Management" when I started. I know things have changed a lot since then, but they are still useful. They had lots of information with out being overwhelming.
You can order my new book if you want to build your own stuff. It should be out in the next couple of weeks.
I second the recommendation of Michael Bush's book and his web site bushfarms.com/bees.
He also hosts http://www.bushfarms.com/huber.htm which is a fun read
http://www.beesource.com/point-of-view/ed-dee-lusby/ has some good reading
The Beekeeper's Handbook by Sammataro, Avitabile and Caron is a good beginner to intermediate read.
http://scientificbeekeeping.com/ Randy Oliver's web site has many useful pages.
Dummies is pretty conventional with their recommendations for medication (we're treatment free ourselves).
If you've read the above cover-to-cover, and a couple of other books too, cover-to-cover, and watched a bunch of youtube beekeeping videos, you'll be ready to declare your beekeeping style.
Decide what kind of beekeeper you want to be (your personal philosophy of beekeeping), and focus your effort on getting there. Your decision will influence what you embrace, and what you discard from your readings. If you don't you'll often be confused, or even make mistakes.
Good luck...
There are many good books on bees. The hive and honey bee it is a collaborative effort by many experts and published by Dandant & son a good reference and read for any beekeeper. I cannot totally condemn any. However I would be on the cautious side with beekeeping for dummies. As some of the information is questionable
Reference book:
ABC, XYZ of beekeeping
Lots of good suggestions here. I'll add a new one, Bee-Sentials, a Field Guild by Lawrence Connor. It's more of a reference book for beginners than a "how to". If you like pictures, you'll love this.
Don't forget the bee journals. A wealth of info every month.
American Bee Journal & Bee Culture.
Also heard of a good video titled ( Honey and the Comb ) by Carl killian , I think its a bit pricey but was told it shows good beekeeping movement and actions around the hive , I haven't seen it .

Zombies are everywhere you look for them, even in Squids, a physics-and-strategy game by the Game Bakers. In this game, some horrible ooze from above has corrupted crustaceans all over the seafloor, turning them into ghastly versions of their former selves. Our heroes are a rag-tag band of gunslinging, headbutting, temple-looting squids doing their best to survive the zombie-esque invasion.
Squids plays well. The mechanics are easy to learn and hard to master, the in-game art is far above par, and the music compliments the underwater theme nicely. It's a cute game, but not cloyingly so. Purely in terms of playability and re-playability, Squids scores highly.

Children with autism get a special surf lesson
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder got a special lesson along the coast of Santa Barbara this weekend.
The Autism Society of Santa Barbara partnered with the Santa Barbara Seals for the 9th Annual Surf and Beach Day at Campus Point at UCSB.
Professional surf instructors took each child out into the water for an individual surf lesson, guiding them every step of the way. "It's a very therapeutic thing, the motion of the ocean, the way the energy flows through. It gets the kids excited, and gets them happy. You can tell by the expression on their faces when they catch their first wave," said JP Garcia, founding member of the Santa Barbara Seals.
Parents couldn't agree more. Goleta resident Don Holm says he noticed a profound change in his son the minute he got into the water. "Something just lightens up in their eyes. It's like magic," said Holm.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Autism Spectrum Disorder affects an estimated 1 in 88 children. The U.S. Department of Education says autism is growing at a rate of 10 percent to 17 percent per year.

While many cities use geographic information systems (GIS) combined with asset management software to manage infrastructure, buildings often get short shrift. Forward-thinking facility managers, however, are also using technology—in the form of computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS)—to bring their role out of the basement and into the modern world.
In its crudest form, these systems are a scheduling tool. But when deployed at their highest level, they empower managers to show even the least technical budget watchdog how $1 spent on preventive maintenance saves $2 or more through extended equipment life and reduced energy costs—or what to budget for labor and materials to keep buildings at their current level of operation.
Manipulate Data For Custom Analyses
The most important thing the software provides is a complete picture of a community's investment in its facilities. It inventories and tracks every piece of equipment and every part—from an air-handling unit to the bearing in a ceiling fan—in every public building.
The software identifies when each piece of equipment in a building was purchased, what maintenance it has received and when, and what's scheduled to be done. When the scheduled time arrives, the system automatically generates a work order and sends it to the appropriate employee.
Instead of digging through an old, often incomplete, paper file, the employee can then look up the equipment's history and get up-to-the-minute technical data. User manuals, drawings, lists of tools and parts needed, safety reminders, even maps of where the equipment is located, can be attached to the work order. Such complete documentation, even in languages other than English, is a key benefit when less-skilled or -experienced workers are maintaining complex equipment.
When parts are needed for scheduled maintenance, the system will have ordered them, or issued a requisition indicating when they'll be needed, well in advance. The system can even predict, based on experience, when equipment will break down.
"We have it connected so that any problem on equipment being monitored automatically sends an alarm to the system, which then creates a work order," says Brian Gates, facility maintenance manager for the city of Milwaukee. His department uses Eagle Technology's ProTeus software because it's compatible with the Johnson Controls Inc. building automation systems installed in the city's 50 buildings. Both manufacturers are located in the Milwaukee area.
"On Monday, we print out all the preventive maintenance work orders that are scheduled to be done that week," says Gates. "Work orders for both preventive and demand maintenance are assigned, the maintenance staff performs the work, and then they close out the work orders themselves. We require them to account for their entire 40 hours each week with all their time assigned to a specific project."
Another valuable feature is the ability to capture how long it takes individual employees to complete a given task. "As workers do different tasks, you get a history of how long a task should take," says Harry Kohal, Eagle Technology's sales and marketing director. "This gives managers data to look at from a performance review standpoint."

Work Off the Christmas Pud - Thursday, 13 December 2012
A costumed Sergeant Major will put visitors through their paces at the Royal Armouries Museum, Fort Nelson, from Thursday, December 27, to Sunday, January 6.
Visitors can blow away the festive cobwebs by trying out obstacle course training and gun drill practice at the Victorian Fort between 10.30pm and 4pm daily.
The Royal Armouries' education team devised the have-a-go gun drill activity earlier this year to teach young people about the Victorian Fort's history and the troops who lived and worked there.
The muzzle-loading gun drill – which is also suitable for adults – allows participants to learn the different aspects of a gun drill, both during a practice loading session and then working against the clock.
Participants begin by cleaning the gun piece, using a process known as worming and sponging. They then "ram" the charge and the shot to make it ready to fire, before simulating firing the cannon.
Standing high on Portsdown Hill near Fareham, Fort Nelson showcases one of the world's finest collections of artillery and cannon, from across the ages and from all corners of the globe.
Museum entry and parking are free but a £3 charge applies for the obstacle course and gun drill practice.
Other Christmas school holiday activities include:
- Daily guided tours of the Fort, bringing to life some of the facts and stories behind the building and the National Collection of Artillery £3.
- Self-guided walks around the site, of differing lengths, available in a brief guide and map format.
These will help visitors explore areas, both inside and outside the Fort.
£1 per guide
