Town Hall meeting for Covered California to be held Thursday in Redding
REDDING, Calif. - In a couple of weeks, the number of uninsured people in the Northstate should start to drop.
The open period to sign up for Covered California subsidized private health insurance begins October 1. On September 16, Shasta Community Health Center CEO Dean Germano said there are 40,000 uninsured people in Shasta County right now.
If you have questions -- and almost everyone does -- there will be a town hall meeting for the local implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
It is called "Covered Shasta" and the meeting will be on Thurs., Sept. 19 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Shasta County Board of Supervisors Chambers in the County Administration building on Court St.
Dean Germano will be there along with Shasta County Health and Human Services Director Donell Ewert, an insurance agent and a representative from Covered California.
They will be explaining how it will work and will be answering questions.

WATSONVILLE -- A blaze that destroyed one apartment and damaged two others at a Ford Street complex Thursday appears to have been accidental, a fire official said Friday.
The American Red Cross Santa Cruz County is helping more than a dozen people, ranging in age from 2 to 86, affected by fire at the Cabrillo Arms Apartments.
One family, a couple with two small children and another on the way, lost everything and will have to find somewhere else to live permanently, said Patsy Gasca of the Red Cross. The woman left her burning apartment without shoes, she said.
The 86-year-old woman survived a blaze at the historic Wall Street Inn on West Beach Street in 2005 only to be displaced again, Gasca said.
Firefighters briefly returned to the complex about 10 a.m. Friday after residents spotted smoke in the gutted second-story apartment.
Watsonville Fire Marshal Rob Ryan said something in the damaged apartment, possibly insulation, reignited.
Ryan said the initial blaze started in the kitchen and appears to have been the result of a cooking accident.
The damage to the 11-unit building was confined to the corner apartment where the fire started, and to two adjacent units, which sustained smoke and water damage. Tenants were allowed to return to the other units in the building.
Ryan couldn't provide an immediate estimate of damages, and a call to the property management company was not returned.
The complex includes four buildings dating from the 1960s and early 1970s. From the outside, they appear tidy if not up to date. Due to their age, fire sprinklers were not required and were not present, Ryan said.
In three decades with the fire department, Ryan said he couldn't remember ever responding to the complex during one of his shifts before Thursday.
Gasca said financial contributions are the best way to help, but donations of new items may be accepted. She can be contacted at 831-419-3872.

The review is great however the pictures of the camera are not suitable on that background!
@Cliff: Romanes eunt domus ;)
Nice review, pity that Pentax spoiled that nice looking camera...
Wow. I think the phrase is "epic fail". Pentax took what could have been an interesting idea, and ruined it. The complete waste of potential is what frustrates. Ripping off the 110 could have worked, if the new camera offered advanced features or a high degree of flexibility for its size. A modern equivalent of the 110 - a compact interchangeable-lens camera (preferably with a decent sized sensor) - would have found a ready market; indeed that market is clearly growing as Sony's new models demonstrate.
Besides, surely they must realise that simply slapping the shell of a 110 on a sub-par cheapo compact is about the most counter-productive thing they could possibly do. It won't appeal to those who remember the 110 - some in that niche are still using film in classic cameras, while the rest have been won over by the potential quality of digital and will therefore see a crap digital camera draped in pointless nostalgia as the worst of both worlds.
The "retro" thing can be done well, as Olympus' new Pens and other rangefinder-inspired models (e.g. Canon G-series) demonstrate - you do this by retaining the unique advantages (and quality) that made the originals a success. Not like this.
Since the takeover, Hoya have allowed the Pentax guys to do what they do best with the dSLR range and produce great lenses and cameras. But in compacts, it's just been a bunch of mediocre me-too models, the type that normally carry a generic no-name brand, rather than that of one of the great optics companies. Never mind the Pentax of old - this rubbish is a far cry from the pre-takeover A or S series of just a couple of years ago.
Hoya really need to realise that they have some very talented people working for them, and that the best way to use them is to allow them to design high-quality imaging products with unique selling points, rather than hoping the brand name alone will sell any rubbish (in an age when most have already forgotten Minolta and some have barely heard of Nikon).
This rant is over. I hope Pentax is not - pull your finger out, guys.
I just compared the waterproof Pentax Optio WS80 with the Samsung WP10 and came to pretty much the same conclusion. As in the olden days, OPTIO still stands for Oh Please Turn It Off. The only remarkable thing I noticed was the low light focus what is the best I have seen in 9 years of digital camera use and they do it without focus assist lamp!
To be fair the I-10 isn't intended to be a copy of the Auto 110, but I have to agree that a digital version of the Auto 110 would be a great idea, and just the thing Pentax needs right now. The 1978 original was a superb little camera with high quality miniature lenses. As a digital kit it would make even the new Sony NEX models look oversized.
I'm hoping to get the Optio W90 waterproof compact in for review soon.
@Cliff Smith - Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I didn't know where else to post it...and I would greatly appreciate it if you took the time to answer these questions.
When will you be reviewing Sony's NEX-3 and NEX-5? And what about Fujifilm's new HS10, and Samsung's EX1, any plans on reviewing them anytime soon?? Just a few models I would like to get your opinion on..(I'm interested in versatile cameras with articulated monitors that produce great quality images)
BTW, how would you compare the image quality between a Panasonic DMC-GH1 and a Canon Powershot G11?? (I know they're not in the same category at all, that's why I'm asking)
Have a good one!!
JK - I've put in a request for the NEX-3 and NEX-5, and I've been assured by Sony that we're at the top of the waiting list as soon as samples are available. The same goes for the Fuji HS10, but hopefully I should have the Samsung EX1 in by next week.
As for the G11 vs. GF1, they're both excellent cameras, but on image quality alone I'd pick the GF1 without a doubt.
It makes you wonder, how can Pentax produce such a poor camera like the Optio I-10 which has an beautiful design with elegant details, but somehow neglected to emphasis on image quality.
This is a real shame! I realy love the deign of this camera, and if they had put more thoughts into this camera, it would definitely be a top seller for the P&S market.
Pentax had been doing some great works with their DSLR products line lately,
like the K-7, it is an outstanding camera which deserved great consumer recognition in terms of both value and performance for Pentax, and I can't wait for their latest DSLR "Pentax 645D"(40 Megapixels), it has some amazing new technology implementation to their DSLR Line up.
We know that Pentax is trying hard to win over some more consumer confidence for their products, but they need to pay more attention to image qualtity of their cameras.
What a missed opportunity! This little gem has all the looks of the original 110 based film casstte SLR that Pentax developed in the early 80's and I was sold on the looks when it first appeared with all the latest talk of tiny cameras with interchangeable lenses the original 110 whilst flawed would make a certain comeback.
IF only Penat could have done the job properly. But no. The consumer once again gets off-loaded with a permanent soft focus lens. poor sensor performance at anything over its slowest speed/sensitivity.
There are only so many soft-focus glamour shots that one needs in a photo collection. This is a boat not so much missed as not yet constructed! One really expected better the potential was there in the history archive; nail a half decent sensor in the old 110 body and the potential for a winner is there. At the same time beating Sony with their NEX to the smallest interchangeable lens system.
No doubt there were issues with the 110 at the time but it suited my then girlfriend's introduction to and SLR interchangeable lens camera with a handbag sized system which could produce a passable quality result without her having to take up weight training.
Sorry Pentax but you are going to have to try VERY MUCH harder.
Looking at the other reto-camera offering the Optio H-90, which visually harks back to the 126 cassette film instamatic designs for its inspiration. One wonders why some one like Pentax/Hoya mis-spent all that cash on producing such cr*p optic/sensor combinations.
Beginners wanting a compact digital camera won't look here as they get better picture quality from their mobile phones than either of these cameras...

They are the better team this year. Despite the results of the game we played against them this year.
In light of this startling new information, I think the Giants should immediately give last years championship to the 49ers.
Along the same line of thinking, the Packers were clearly the better team in 07, we should hand that trophy back to them for that season.
Its tough to lose a game when you had two late turnovers as the difference, especially when one was purely flukish.
I have no problem with a competitor having a hard time forgetting it. These guys go through a lot to get to where we and the Niners were last season.
I have no problem with this kind of statement at all.
You guys are too sensetive.
I actually like Gore and he's entitled to his opinion but to say that is just ignorant especially after getting spanked at home......again........but that's the mentality to have......you should believe your the best and play like it.
Not sure which game I enjoy watching more the NFCCG or the SB both still get me nervous (not sure why) and give me the chills.
49ers had a better record, they had home field. The better team does not always win. The team who plays the best, does!

In Wired by Douglas E. Richards, Kira Miller is a brilliant genetic engineer who discovers how to temporarily enhance brain functioning a thousand-fold. An unfortunate side-effect happens to be ruthless megalomania and a complete disregard for human emotions.
So what does a person do with this increased intellect? Even though one may intend to create things that are beneficial to all mankind, once enhanced, the needs of others become secondary. Why not just make yourself rich and powerful instead?
David Desh, formerly in Special Forces, is asked by his former Colonel to find Kira and bring her to justice for a number of crimes including colluding with terrorists on bio-weapons and possibly even murder. To help him he hires Matt, a top notch computer hacker. Before Desh and Matt can get to far, Kira kidnaps him to try to convince him she is innocent and that there is a conspiracy in place to get to discredit her and steal her discoveries. She seems sincere, but sociopaths are know to be good at lying...
Wired is a smart sci-fi thriller crammed with non-stop action, unexpected twists, mind-bending science, and intriguing concepts readers will be contemplating long after they've read the last page.
The story continues with the sequel, Amped, which includes possible alien contact!!

Anyone care to share their best rookie beekeeping learning experiences?
Anyone care to share their best rookie beekeeping learning experiences?
Keep in mind back when I started we didn't have internet nor cell phones. Opened a healthy booming hive in the spring and it had 20 plus queen cells in it so I cut them all out......not knowing they had already swarmed.
Mike Forbes
Red Dirt Apiaries
My mistake? This is like engineering, study, build, buy, insert, reap. Done. Well, then the little ladies arrived and the learning curve got real steep!! My three hives have made it one year this month and I have caught one old swarm. So far I have only reaped some great fun (and some costs) but there is hope for better times ahead!
Julysun elevation 23 feet. 4 Hives, 2 years.
I opened a hive with no smoke on a fairly chilly windy overcast kinda day, figured I'd get in and out and add a box, but that didn't work out too well, they poured out of there like a plague of locusts LOL Will always have the smoker on standby now LOL
For many a new beek, the most common one is not staying equipment ahead of the bees in a timely manner. In the spring-through-early-fall, you'd be wise to keep 2 to 4 hives ready to go if there are swarm calls. Another is only keeping only one hive - if it goes queenless, you could be out of luck in a hurry! (Much better to figure on keeping between 3 and 6 hives as a hobbyist).
Another common mistake is to think that you just get a box, add bees, then enjoy all this honey! HAHAHAHAHA! The learning curve is a bit steeper than that for most of us.
My ex-girlfriend's rookie mistake was getting stung under the veil, then taking it off and running! (Result? => 6 stings)
My first rookie mistake was getting vehicle trouble in LA the day before queens hatched in Ojai. (Result? => 2 live queens out of 32 cells)
My most painful one was not having all my hives on pallets and bolted, ready to move in my queen yard. A sudden, hurried move caused a huge die-off, including the loss of an AFB-resistant colony of very productive, well-behaved bees.
There was a big thread recently here on Beesource about stolen hives, so another is not branding your equipment! I'm at the point where I won't make anymore woodenware until I complete my branding irons. Face it, building hives and queen equipment is a lot of work and expense. START BY MAKING OR BUYING YOUR BRANDING IRON!!! You won't regret it.
The saddest mistakes often involve wintering. Hives must be strong - 130 lbs for a 2-box 10-frame deep Langstroth colony - with pollen and honey going into winter. Weaker colonies should go in a double-nucleus over a double screen board setting on top of a strong colony, or just newspaper combine them with a strong colony.
I did the same thing, only I didn't even have a veil on. I'm pretty smart (and have three college degrees to prove it), won't do that again.
I suspect the number one beginner beekeeping mistake is to fail to feed a new hive enough. I know at least four people who wanted to keep bees but insisted that they were supposed to be "all natural" and didn't feed them. Guess what? Most hives (90% or so) die if you don't feed them in the first year. I fed mine to start with, then failed to realized that Italian queen from Mississippi or wherever didn't respond to a lack of forage and kept laying until they ate all their winter stores. Died off in the spring after a failed supersedure attempt and a wax moth infestation.
Fed my swarms up almost too well the second year.
The other beginner mistake that is very common is to fail to provide the correct hive space in a timely manner, either by not giving them enough room and letting them swarm or by adding too many boxes and having wax moths make a mess.
Like every thing else in life, practice improves performance.
I'd say #3 is probably incorrect use of the smoker, either not enough smoke to calm the bees properly or sending billowing clouds of hot smoke through the hive and getting the bees really annoyed just before opening the hive. Takes a while to get the hang of smoke, I think. I've learned one long, slow puff in the entrance and a quick one under the cover is all I need with my current bees except when they start pouring over the tops of the frames and top edges of the box. Then another puff will run them right down out of the way. I usually just drift the cloud of smoke over the hive, I try no to puff smoke into the hive except into the entrance.
I've avoided most of the rest of the really bad things, I think, or maybe I just have bees that recover from my poor efforts at management well enough I'm not doing any real damage!
Thinking that you can just throw up bear proof a electric fence made with nothing more than a few T-posts and four strands of wire. It doesn't matter how healthy the hive is if a bear gets in.
Moving a hive without a bottom ranks as my worst rookie mistake, had the hive almost to its new location and a frame fell to the ground loaded with bees needless to say I paid a hefty price when they went up my pants. Upside is I'm not allergic to bee stings, down side is with that many it didn't matter.

Good info guys , I really appreciate all the knowledgeable beekeepers that take the time to answer all of the newby questions posted here . I know with all the info here us newbs stand a much better chance of success . I think for me learning how to read the hive and what the bees are doing will be the hardest part to learn.
Great thread !!!!
Number one mistake: not having a plan when opening the hive. Whether it's cold, and one is too hasty when the hive needs a quick peek for whatever reason, or it's warm enough for a slow, let's not crush any bees, frame by frame inspection, have a plan (including, as mentioned above, a lit smoker even if you don't PLAN to use it). Personally, mine was not having the zipper on my veil/jacket all the way closed on a cold day when the bees were a little testy. Amazing how many angry bees can find a two inch opening. Twenty two stings to the head and face later, I missed a day of work with one eye closed shut and one side of my face so swollen, it looked like I had suffered a stroke. Also, while I agree with psfred about not feeding a new package at all, the opposite is true as well. I fed a new package by the "feed until they stop taking it" method right into a syrup backfilled brood chamber and swarm cells (and "they" say a first year package won't swarm-yeah, right!!!).
Worst mistake was not taking time to go home to get my veil before capturing a swarm. It was getting dark, and cold when I got there and they were much more testy than expected. Took 20-30 to the back of the neck, 15-20 to the forehead/eyebrows. I looked like the hunchback of Notre Dame. My buddies in the ER still have my picture posted in the break room. Needless to say I now have a spare veil in every vehicle I drive.
My most recent mistake,,,, letting my wife go out to the beeyard and stand a little ways away from me while I was intalling 4 packages. Usually would have not been a problem but this time we had just come home from church and she had on hair spray and perfume. They went to her like a fat kid to cake. She got two tangled in the back of her hair (stung twice) and several on her back and back of her legs (no stings). Felt so sorry for her I left the hives open to rescue her. Made sure she was alright, she never showed any emotion (crying, yelling or anything). After seeing she was alright I went back and finished. The next day I asked her if she would go out to the beeyard and help me to which she replied, "NO, I will help you extract, melt the cappings, clean frames and equiptment or anything else." I told her she was a sissy. You know sleeping on the couch really isn't that uncomfortable.
Deciding that it might be a good idea to move a couple of large hives with honey supers a box at a time at night by carrying each box to the new location.
...or maybe trying to get a swarm out of a fir tree that was about 30 feet up in the tree. I backed my pickup up to the tree, put my extension ladder in the back of the pickup against the cab and went to the top of the ladder. The swarm was about 8 feet out on the limb so I decided to slowly cut the limb and when the limb would slowly bend down I would scoop the bees into a bucket. Also it was raining.
I had a hive that was making swarm cells, so I split it. Then I realized I was supposed to move the queen with the split and leave the cells in the original location. Had to go back in and do it all over again.
I remember a trip across the town of Cheyenne, Wyoming with a recent swarm of bees in 1977. I put them inside a pickup topper and did not tie them down or secure the hive in any way (I had seen dried propolis on the edges of the hive body and shallow super, so thought that was enough to stick it together). In the middle of town I went around a corner and the hive body and super became disarticulated Of course my veil was in the back with the bees...In traffic....I can only plead a case of temporary insanity. Gentle bees, no stings.
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
Wow Lee,
Is that why you left here? Bad memories, eh? Just kidding. 1977 is a little while ago. I'm sure it was better back then, maybe, huh? Next time, the best thing to do is drop the swarm to me. PM me for directions.
Listening to people who said not to feed unless you just had too. Can a beginner really judge when they really need to feed? Better to have fat bees that swarm than malnutrinioned bees that don't.
A rooky mistake I did not make was failing to split and make increase. Two small hives are way better than one big hive any winter.
Since '09-75H-T-Z6b
Last week had a hive I thought was a dead out in one of my outyards (no activity on a blue bird day when all the other hives were flying.)
Short on time wearing just a T-shirt and shorts I muscled it in to the back of my pick up, unloaded it the same way at the house.
Went to clean it out yesterday and saw a few bees going back and forth, popped the lid and it was chalkfull of bees. Not a sting one even though I jostled the heck out of them. Makes up for some of the stings I've taken when I was just walking by.
Biggest rookie mistake I made was getting talked into bees to begin with. Should have stuck with horses, booze, and women.
A most common mistake .beginner and experienced beekeeper alike .is impatience.
Ill get countless calls every season asking for queens. The beek is sure their hive is queenless. Ill advise that they wait a little longer but they dont listen. When they go to install the storebought queen .they find a small patch of new brood or worse they install the new queen only to discover, a couple of weeks later, a laying, unmarked queen.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson

And a bunch of other late 1st round picks are great recievers. it's not hard to find WR talent in the NFL.
Doesn't matter for the rest, you basically made the same points. I don't think Cruz's play this year justifies him getting a big contract,
If they give him 5-6 million a year with the garunteed money not huge then I'd be happy with how Reese handled it.
Youre only as good as your last season.
Being at a skill position like wr and rb that is.. qb's are more consistent but wr's and rb's can have one bad year and drop off quickly.
or one bad injury.
But that hasn't happened with Cruz and he's already set records in his first season. Your logic is silly, as Cruz is hands down the most explosive WR we've ever had. The Giants have always had possession receivers, I can't remember the last explosive WR we've had, possibly Stephen Baker but that was a long long time ago. Just admit it, you don't like Cruz because of all his commercials and publicity, not because you honestly think he's easily replaceable.
I don't care about his first season it's irellevant, Plaxico Burress had a good 2007-2008 year for us, should we sign him? And no, we haven't had a lot of good receivers period.
He had an off year this year without Nicks commanding attention as he does when he's healthy. Cruz benefits off Nicks and didn't have a great season like the year before, he can't carry the load like Nicks did once.

The great unanswerable question is why so many of us, me included, buy cars that we end up loathing? It's like a bad marriage, it starts off exhilarating - you are in love - and then, as time passes, disappointment mounts and you realise it can only end in a bitter, rancorous divorce.
Usually the bile starts to rise when the cars begin to cost us money in repairs, often the product of a breakdown in some particularly horrible remote location. If they do fail in the city it is when it is absolutely vital that it should be going because you are running late for a very important date. Then the breakdowns and faults settle into a downward spiral, from which there is no recovery.
The danger sign for me is when the local garage owner starts giving me bottles of wine for Christmas because I have become such a valued customer. Time to sack the car. Again.
My problem is, I buy utterly unsuitable vehicles. Flash European ones.
This is because, in my childhood, my father bought a succession of some of the most embarrassing cars possible. He started with a 1950s Ford Prefect that could barely make the summit of the Albany hill. Often it didn't and he would retreat to the pub at the bottom to nurse his humiliation with a beer. These were the days before drink drive commercials and the breathalyser changed our behaviour patterns but I now understand his automotive angst and need for a soothing ale.
Eventually he replaced the battered Prefect with an early 1960s Vauxhall Victor, a grotesque lumpy looking thing because its English designers had got carried away with the fins and bulging chrome glamour of Detroit and pimped it up hideously.
Finally Dad tired of it and moved on to a tiny Hillman Imp. Thanks to a rear engine, the hollow front would collapse like a ruptured egg carton after impact with even a plastic road cone. Luckily for us, in those days, there were no plastic road cones.
Our family's final automotive triumph was a brand new Hillman Avenger which, sadly, despite its name, had none of the glamour of the television show The Avengers that my father so liked. Still, he decked it out in sheepskin seat covers to protect the upholstery that so many vinyls had died to produce.
My own first car was the icon of the 60s, an early Morris Mini with sliding glass windows on the side and wire you yanked on to open the door instead of handles. I didn't realise it at the time but it was the best car I'd own for the nearly the next half-century. I soon traded it for a battleship-grey 1959 Jaguar Mark 1. It blew up at Kaikoura on a run from Christchurch to Wellington, so I bought a 1960 Jaguar Mark II 3.8 manual with overdrive. That blew up in Waipukurau on a trip from Wellington to Cape Kidnappers.
Mercifully, the 1980s was the decade of the company car and I was spared further expense and old, combustible vehicles. I discovered the amazing thing about company cars - they could go anywhere and do anything, even my firm's Ford Laser. Off-road, river crossings, rocky terrain and deep snow ... the company car is a brilliant all-round vehicle primarily because you don't own it or have to pay for damage and repairs.
In the 90s I went back into the own-your-own market and snapped up a shark-like 1984 BMW 635 C Si because I'd seen them set a blistering pace on the late, lamented Wellington Street Race circuit. I fancied myself as a bit of speedster because I'd done a week's race-driving course as a preliminary for the celebrity race there one year. That, of course, ended in disaster when, during practice I found myself for the first time driving at high speed through an impossibly narrow tunnel of high concrete crash barriers on either side of the track and, in a panic, stomped on the brake, which caused the wheels to lock like a vice. My poor Nissan neatly T-boned one of the giant concrete blocks. It looked like a crushed sardine can after that and our team mechanics wept.
My BMW 635 got the axe in a rage when it blew up in the wilderness while on the way from Auckland to Taupo. Luckily, I took over the lease of a 2000 Jaguar S-Type from a mate who couldn't afford it any more. Actually, it was lucky only for him. I discovered why he couldn't afford it when I took it on a drive to Piha and back to Ponsonby. Its enormous V8 motor consumed virtually an entire tank of gas.
It got fired when I had to find several thousand dollars to replace its four special low-rise tyres. The second-hand Range Rover that followed didn't last a year. When I took it in to the car-yard to trade, the dealer hollered with laughter. "Mate you've got a V7!" The car had been running on only seven cylinders for the entire time I had it. As you may have guessed, my mechanical knowledge is limited.
Still, he traded me an extremely nice black stretched limo-length 2002 Mercedes S320. After a few years of the merciless Merc, my garage man upgraded me to a better standard of Christmas pinot noir in recognition of my sterling service to his profits.
My tragic parting from a long succession of beautiful cars saw me almost get to the point where I'd administer them a "damn good thrashing", like Basil Fawlty did with his recalcitrant Austin Countryman. I could understand the blind fury John Cleese channelled in that scene. Cars are supposed to go. You put oil and water in one end, petrol in the rear, pump up the tyres and off you go. They are not supposed to constantly break down.
Then last year I did the unthinkable. I bought a Japanese car. It's a Mazda CX7, a cross over. Actually, I have no idea what a "cross over" is. In theory you can put it into four-wheel-drive and I have no doubt it could then cross a mildly damp paddock on a fine day.
However, I've noticed a startling development. Nothing has gone wrong with it. Everything works. It's solid, as a woman in a BMW found when she ran into the back of me. Her front was demolished, my car showed not a trace of the impact.
I'm not pushing Mazda here. Buy a Toyota, a Nissan, a Honda or a Suzuki. Buy anything, as long as it's Japanese. Enough with the fancy European models, unless you are short of a bottle of wine or two at Christmas and then it will guarantee you a freebie from that nice man at the garage.

Santa Monica , CA – April 7, 2005 – Attention soldiers! Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and acclaimed developer Infinity Ward are back in action with Call of Duty 2 ™, an all new epic title which delivers an unparalleled portrayal of the chaos and intensity that was World War II. The sequel to the award-winning Call of Duty ™, Call of Duty 2 is powered by a proprietary new engine featuring striking new visuals, advanced A.I. technology, the most realistic squad combat and explosive action in new historic campaigns. The title is scheduled for release this fall and is not yet rated by the ESRB.
Call of Duty 2 lets players experience four individual soldier stories as they overcome insurmountable odds in multiple campaigns. Players have the freedom to follow each of the four storylines through for the ultimate character-driven experience, or they can engage in the historic battles chronologically for quick hitting action.
Infinity Ward, creator of the blockbuster, original Call of Duty , has also expanded the scope of combat to deliver a truly realistic battlefield experience. Squads now have the freedom to take on a variety of mission objectives, on expansive battlefields that allow for multiple paths and the ability to utilize actual combat tactics like outflanking and fire and maneuver capabilities.
Call of Duty 2 's new engine and A.I. technology set the stage for authentic squad combat and astonishing action. Concealment can be key as battlefield smoke or even deployed smoke grenades cloud visibility. Weather effects such as the dusty sandstorms of North Africa and whiteout blizzard conditions of Russia , for example, will keep soldiers glued to their bunkers. The team has also employed a state-of-the-art Battle Chatter System that brings the action to life as squad-mates bark out context-sensitive updates in real-time to players through an advanced A.I. system.
"Our team at Infinity Ward is committed to thrusting gamers into the heat of battle like no other, taking players on a thrill-ride of adrenaline that leaves everyone gasping for air," states Grant Collier, president, Infinity Ward. "In Call of Duty 2 , we are creating the most intense and realistic action game imaginable with a stunning visual atmosphere and an advanced technology that delivers an unprecedented level of authenticity."
Q: Tell us about Call of Duty 2, when & where does it take place?
Zied Rieke (lead designer): Call of Duty 2 is a natural progression for our team and a huge step forward in intensity, authenticity and action. We are taking the hallmarks of the original Call of Duty and expanding them to create the most intense, amazing battlefield experience ever. Call of Duty 2 covers a vast number of locations, from North Africa to Russia to Germany . We have worked meticulously to create battles and develop rich stories from the trenches across the length of much of the war itself.
More specifically in Call of Duty 2, we're taking you to North Africa where you'll get a chance to match wits against General Rommel the "Desert Fox" and his Afrikakorps and experience the harsh dusty realities of desert warfare.
In addition, players will return to locations of some popular battles of the first Call of Duty, in new and exciting missions. For example, players will experience new missions in and around the battle for Stalingrad , the grueling six month blood bath that cost the German Army over six hundred thousand soldiers. They will also be thrown into other battles on the Eastern and Western fronts that you'll find out about in the next few months.
A lot of our focus has always been on recreating epic and cinematic intensity and putting the player in an authentic situation with a squad of soldiers that react to the world around them. Call of Duty fans will be amazed at new level of detail, authenticity and immersion in Call of Duty 2.
Q: We understand Call of Duty 2 uses a new game engine, can you tell us about the new engine and what it does?
Jason West (chief technology officer): We designed the new technology around the game we wanted to build. We feature immense open environments, epic chaotic battles and an amazing number of AI, both friendly and enemy. To allow us to bring the battlefield experience and immersion to the next level we designed the new tech to use real-time dynamic lighting and shadows, specular maps, projected texture lighting and normal maps.
The AI system uses more realistic tactics, on both the friendly and enemy sides. Each team will use fire and maneuver and flanking tactics against threats, which is especially important with the new non-linear gameplay that we have added to Call of Duty 2.
Effects and weather are now more realistic than ever with the new technology, allowing for some amazing situations. Rain and snow will not only look realistic, but also cause the AI to react in more realistic ways. We also use smoke for portable concealment on the battlefield, from deployed smoke grenades as well as explosions in the area. The AI understand the smoke and use their new abilities in their interactions.
Overall, everything we've done with the proprietary new technology was to allow us to make even more amazing and intense battles, which is the hallmark of the Call of Duty world.

Apple: Cowen Shifts Estimates on 'iPhone 5S,' Sees Europe Price Cuts
Cowen & Co.'s Matthew Hoffman today reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of Apple (AAPL), while cutting his fiscal 2013 estimates, but raising his fiscal 2014 estimates, on changing time frame for what he speculates will be an "iPhone 5S" later this year.
The purported 5S would be equipped with support for China's home-grown "TD-SCDMA" 3G network, speculates Hoffman, drawing in part upon work from his colleague, chip analyst Timothy Arcuri. Arcuri thinks that construction of a 5S is trending to June, which is later than the April "ramp" that Hoffman had been modeling. He thinks a phone will arrive in the fiscal fourth quarter of this year, the September-ending period.
Hoffman also speculates Apple will have "at least one iPhone model with a >5″ display for late 2013/14," he writes, which might "shore up the platform":
Smartphone announcements at last week's Mobile World Congress continue to signal a market shift away from small displays (e.g. LG's Optimus G Pro display measures 5.5″; ZTE's Grand Memo has a 5.7″ display). Checks at MWC strongly suggests Apple will add an iPhone variant with a 5+" display.
At the same time, Hoffman thinks retailers in Europe are cutting prices to move iPhone units:
Our European contacts suggest that channel remains well (over?) supplied with iPhones, though robust promotional activity is now helping to spur demand. What is less clear is exactly how much support Apple is providing for those clearing campaigns. We note demand elasticity for lower-priced Apple smartphones remains high; remember that the $100 or so price cut on the iPhone 4S and 4 drove both SKUs into shortage during F1Q13.
Hoffman cut this fiscal year estimate to $182 billion and $44.95 per share in net profit from a prior $188 billion and $46.70. For 2014, he projects $217.4 billion and $55.25, up from a prior $212 billion and $55.
Apple shares today continued to chart new lows, hitting $419 before closing down $10.42, or 2.4%, at $420.05.

I know that Nissan said it won't bring the Datsun brand stateside and hasn't made any official announcements to make a car to compete in the entry-level sports coupe segment, but... there are just so many signs pointing to this happening.As a previous 240sx owner, I am dying to see them bring someone to the table to compete with the Genesis coupe, FR-S/BRZ, and anyone else that plans on joining this segment. What does everyone think?
I completely agree, read this http://autogalaxy.co/2012/04/11/nissan-in-serious-talks-of-toyobaru-rival/ it looks like they will most likely make a BRZ/FR-S rival.
Knowing Nissan, it'll be more expensive than a fully optioned Limited BRZ, and it will likely be used as a tool to push the Z-car upmarket. Not that I have anything against that. With Nissan adopting Mercedes-Benz engines now, I bet the new Z car will have a 3.5l V6 possibly with a super or turbocharger, maybe allowing for two models besides the Nismo version. I bet the prices will go up at least $5,000, in the $40k starting range up to around $60k. The new 240sx successor will be around $26,000 starting and fully optioned will likely top out around $32k - $34k. Some sort of V6 or high performance turbocharged/supercharged 4-cyl, probably 2.4 displacement or higher will be the powertrain. Let's just hope they don't throw a CVT option in there at all, freakin' Nissan...
Nissan is reviving Datsun brand in the emerging markets of Russia, India and Indonesia for the purpose of building and selling in-expensive cars in these markets. Datsun brand would be launching its first two cars in 2014. Both the models are expected to live up to the DAT philosophy of building Durable, Attractive and Trustworthy cars.
Skoda Fabia Scout
I really hope so. Motor Trend says that there will be a fwd Mini-Z (not Silvia) in the future but it's supposed to go head to head with the FRS/BRZ twins. That is complete crap. It should make a new 240SX, same name and everything, 2.0 Turbo with about 220-230 horsepower and REAR WHEEL DRIVE. Not front.
Knowing a little about Nissan parts-bin (AFAIK, Mercedes only would give Nissan V6 and/or V8's RWD engines to toy with, so most here is pure Nissan):Neo-Sylvia (RWD I4's)160SX 1.6L T-GDI I4 (adapted from Juke) tuned to ~ 200hp200SX 2.0L T-GDI I4 225-250hpNew Z (RWD I4's and V6's)250Z 2.5L T-GDI I4 275-300hp (sooner or later there has to be an I4 Z...)300Z 3.0L T-GDI V6 (adapted old M-B stock or last call for Nissan's VQ) 350-375hp350Z 3.5L 2T or K-GDI V6 (adapted by Nissan from M-B stuff) 425-450hpThe latter would fit nicely betwwen today/tomorrow's Z and the GT-R (now rated at 530hp for its' 3.8L 2T-GDI V6)... Obviously the latter two engines would also go (w/some extra tuning) on the next-gen Skyline/G (in coupé, sedán and XOV [known in NoAm as the EX]).
I agree after seeing the new toyota and subaru additions it would only seem logical to bring back yet another legendary icon like the 240sx. And to stay with the spirit of the original would have to be RWD.Speed freak and owner of RearWheelHorsepower
They should just bring the S15 over here.

1. A mythical creature that resembles a human, only with small stubby horns and big lips. They commonly walk in the fashion of a penguin. Mikalopes have genetic similarities with the 'snapalope.' Instead of loitering near convenience stores and gas stations they loiter near libraries and government agencies. They are commonly anarchists and the sole purpose of their life is to take a contrary position to everything anybody says. There is no known hunting season for the "Mikalope," but there is a bill currently in progress to develop a three week hunting season for sometime around January or February.

Telling the story of one of Britain's most decorated war heroes - Friday, 5 July 2013
A 20-bore, double-barrelled shotgun owned by one of the British Army's most colourful and decorated war heroes has been purchased by Royal Armouries at auction.
The Purdey 20-bore shot gun was owned by Lieutenant General Sir Adrian Paul Ghislaine Carton de Wiart – holder of a Victoria Cross, and veteran of the Boer War and First and Second World Wars.
The gun will be used to support Royal Armouries' exhibitions and displays as well as telling the General's fascinating story.
Royal Armouries' Senior Curator of Firearms and Weapons Mark Murray Flutter, said, "This amazing man was involved in more adventures than Sir Harry Flashman – but de Wiart was real!"
Lt-Gen Carton de Wiart, VC, KBE, CB, CMG, DSO was born into the Belgian aristocracy on May 5, 1880, and died in 1963, aged 83. His mother was of Irish descent and he was educated in Oxfordshire and joined the British Army after leaving Oxford University after just one term.
During his Army career, he was shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip and ear; survived a plane crash; tunnelled out of a POW camp in Italy, and bit off his own fingers when a doctor would not amputate them.
A popular rumour relates that after losing his eye, he removed his damaged eyeball from the socket himself, because it hindered his ability to aim his Webley.
The General wore a glass eye for a short time and then, whilst travelling in a taxi, threw it from the window, and donned a black patch, which he wore for the rest of his life.
He was mentioned in despatches six times and awarded no less than 10 awards, including the Victoria Cross – the highest military award in the British Army, awarded for valour. His VC is now held by the National Army Museum. He also worked as a personal representative of Sir Winston Churchill.
The shotgun is a 20-bore made by Purdey, one of the most iconic gunmakers ever to practice in Britain, and made for de Wiart in 1953. It is also a model and type not represented in Royal Armouries' national collection.
Mark added, "Its acquisition not only fills a gap in the sporting collection, but also allows the museum to tell a most amazing story that covers not only the Boer War but World War I and World War II. As a museum, part of our policy is to identify objects that are not only of national interest but associated with individuals with fascinating and interesting stories."
Purdey have confirmed that the gun was completed in March 1952 for the General and was built with 27in barrels, two 3/4in chambers and a 15 ¼ in, half-pistol grip stock. Royal Armouries purchased the shotgun at a Holt's auction of Sporting Guns in London for £12,000.
It is intended to place it on public display at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds.

Where I stayed
Spring Creek Marina and RV Park
San Angelo is an inviting little city of about 100,000, settled after Fort Concho was built to protect the frontier settlers. The Concho River winds through town, with O.C. Fisher Reservoir at the north end and Lake Nasworthy on the south. We stayed at an RV Park on Lake Nasworthy that was thick with some type of oak trees (I think). With the green grass and trees, next to the full lake, it was enchanting. Strange though, because the reservoir and the river were almost dry.
After a visit to the chamber of commerce we explored town and found the restored fort. It was closed for the day, but it had a lot of buildings that would have been interesting to tour, like two big blocks full. We went into a fantastic mercantile shop in the old part of town that was filled to the brim with all the goodies a professional shopper could handle in a single day. Too bad John wasn't in the mood to linger too long.
We checked out some houses for sale built along the lakefront. After dinner we had a great walk around this huge park in the woods and enjoyed a quiet night looking out on the water.

Chrysler Takes the Plunge, Will Offer V6 Turbodiesel in Ram 1500 This Year

While General Motors and Ford drag their feet, Chrysler says "YES" to turbodiesels in half-ton trucks
It looks as though
diesel mania is finally starting to catch on
in the United States. Chrysler has confirmed that it will be offering a V6 turbodiesel in its Ram 1500 "consumer grade" pickup during the third quarter of 2013 according to
USA Today
The Big Three (Chrysler, Ford, GM) have long offered turbodiesel engines in their heavy-duty pickups, but have been reluctant to offer diesel power in their half-ton trucks due to concerns that Americans wouldn't pony up the money for a more fuel efficient engine (the 6.7 liter Cummins turbodiesel option on heavy-duty Ram pickups is a $7,795 option).
Auto enthusiasts have been craving a diesel engine in half-ton pickups for years, but the manufacturers have constantly pushed back. Chrysler, however, is finally listening to its customers. "Customers have been emphatically asking for this, thirsting for it, craving it," said Fred Diaz, CEO of Chrysler's Ram division, citing internal studies.
Ram 1500
Unlike the diesel engine offered in heavy-duty versions of the Ram, Cummins won't make this engine. Italian company VM Motori will instead manufacture the 3-liter V6 turbodiesel. The same engine will be available in the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and produces 240hp and 420 lb-ft of torque in that application.
For comparison, the 5.7-liter V8 Hemi available in the Ram 1500 produces 360hp and 390 lb-ft of torque.
Ford's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6
, which is billed as a fuel-efficient and powerful option for the F-150, is rated at 365hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. However, it wouldn't be a stretch to state that the Ram 1500 turbodiesel should have no problem
outclassing the EcoBoost in EPA and real world fuel economy
Chrysler is currently staying mum on pricing/fuel economy for the turbo diesel engine option, but TrueCar.com expects the company to court an additional 10,000 in the first year of availability with continued growth in the coming years.

Of those 3 I would go Springfield Armory,there quality improved years ago and make a good piece.
I'm not a Kimber fan,their warranty is short and QC has been spotty for a long time.I do have to say problems are minor now compared to years ago,they're normally simple fixes.
The Ruger I don't know,heard mostly good on them.
Go to 1911Forum.com and go to the manufacturer's section,you can find out just about anything you want to know about a brand.Just remember everyone and their brother are making them now,and there's going to be a lemon from everyone at some point,some just have more than others.
I still prefer Colt and have 3 ranging from 1918 to the mid 80s.I had a real early SA (Springfield) that was a good gun,but got a later one that was an out of spec nightmare.Still have that one I'll throw a 22 upper on one day.After that one they tightened up on quality,and I'd buy a newer one if I were in the market for one.
Enjoy the hunt.

I have read several posts on HK Pro about him - there is some debate as to whether or not he has an FFL. If he does not - it is illegal to ship a gun to him.
I cannot imagine him doing the trigger work and advertising it WITHOUT an FFL. But, I see this come up often enough that I am starting to wonder.
I was going to send mine off soon - but decided not to unless I see this issue totally debunked.

Wow this forum is hardcore with moderation. A warning already, and I didn't even get in a bee quarrel with another person
I normally run anywhere between 12 to 20 hives depending upon removals/season/sales/etc. I have 18 going right now headed into Winter. I turn over a fair amount of bees. I do on average 15-20 removals per season too - they are what wears out my gear. I need a new pair of gloves and usually a smoker every year or so. They just wear out and get holes and rips in them. The smokers usually come apart. My Mann Lake has held up the best so far. I bought a fancy stainless imported one once, and it was dead in a year. The hinge and the welds came apart.
Sounds like you made a good move.
I think you made the right call. Mites build up over time and take a bunch of two year old hives. If the hives made it through winter I would be tempted to make an offer. But, since you want to go with different management style and different equipment you are better off starting fresh with what you want. The guy can probably sell those hives in spring for what he is asking but, this time of year I think he is way too high.

Original post made by Paul Losch, Community Center, on Mar 9, 2013
More Jeffersonian than Hamiltonian. Read the Federalist Papers.
Don't depend on the county, the state, or the DC folks to be the heroes. The further up the government food chain they are, the more they get into uncompromising ideology and dysfunction.
Palo Alto happens to be a complicated small city. Other such places include Cambridge, Boulder, Evanston, New Haven, Princeton: see a trend? Places with major universities joined at the hip with the city they adjoin.
I cite these cities as examples of how dysfunctional and polemically divided people are with town and gown.
The good news is that many, maybe most, cities and towns of our size do not face or have to deal with such complexities as we do in Palo Alto.
The bad news is that things in these parts take much more time and effort to get reviewed, approved, and completed than may take place in vicinities with less complexity.
The worse news is that our counties, our state, and our country are, to use a sailing phrase, in irons.
I personally had a legitimate gripe with the State of California, and had a face to face with the Assemblyman, it got nowhere. Similarly, I had a dispute with the IRS, ultimately settled to my favor, and the Congresswoman's staff were of no help getting the matter resolved. Go figure on constituent support. Government inaction (not in action.)
I am at the point where I don't care if it is President Obama, whom I admire (with misgivings,) or GOP Senate Leader McConnell of Kentucky (whose earthly mumbles must appeal to 'nuff folks to keep him re-elected.) And by the way, there is a country singer who is considering a senate race against Mitch.
I have displayed some of my political biases in this blog. The main point here is to push as much as possible to the local level. While I understand and value much of what the governments do at broader levels, and recognize that most cities, townships, et al are not the likes of Palo Alto or Evanston or Princeton…
Push it down! This sequestration thing going on right now in DC is a perfect example of why we need to adhere to the roots from which our country are based.

Paul Losch says that he admires President Obama. Wonder if this article from a British paper offers an explanation as to why so many people claiming to be Dems have so much admiration for this man:
Web Link
These tours, most recently guided by volunteers though monitored by paid Secret Service staff, have been an American tradition since John and Abigail Adams, the first White House residents, personally hosted receptions for the public.
And their cancellation is an austerity measure that saves a pittance, while more frivolous taxpayer funding for items like the White House dog walker continues.
Meanwhile, noble Americans can buy time with the president for a suggested donation of $500,000 to his new campaign group, Organising for Action.
And then .. there was the release of over 2,000 illegal immigrants .. supposedly because of sequestered funds:
Web Link
The top U.S. immigration enforcement official acknowledged Thursday that the Obama administration has in fact released thousands of illegal immigrants from local jails over the last month despite prior claims that the release was only in the hundreds.
Or maybe Paul Losch was enthralled with the President's public relations push back against the attacks on the Benzhazi consulate, by going on David Letterman and blaming the attacks on a short trailer found on Youtube that was not very complementary to the so-called Prophet Muhammad.
So .. Mr. Losch .. has the sequester endangered your quality of life yet?

Obama's Sequester? Re-write history much?
It was John Boenher who said, after announcing the sequester, that HE, the scotch loving, orange fella, got 98% of what he wanted in the negotiations.
August 1, 2011 - Boehner: "When you look at this final agreement that we came to with the White House, I got 98 percent of what I wanted. I'm pretty happy."

From the Epoch Times (Feb 28-Mar 6, 2013)article titled "President Obama's Sequestration Strategy to Oust House Republicans";
"Apparently, Obama wants a painful crisis to push Republicans into accepting even higher taxes or losing at the polls in 2014."
"The president is motivated by political gain to manufacture for taxpayer pain. The real spending choices imposed by sequestration and the fact that the president wrote the law that requires it is poorly understood by most voters, and he is exploiting the Bully Pulpit to wrongly blame House Republicans for what will surely follow."
"Americans will suffer needlessly when the cuts come, but Obama, seeing partisan advantage, is putting politics above public welfare."

@someguy copies an anti-President opinion column and ignores the factual evidence of the republican majority leader gloating about the sequester cutting services to the American people.

Paul Losch is a registered user.
This topic did not get alot of "legs." It got off track about my comments well into my write-up about Obama (and McConnell.)
Rather than focusing on the key question, which is where best do the spending responsibility and accountability lay--nationally, state level, or as locally as possible?
I do the best I can to deal with genuine questions of local interest. Window dressing such as White House tours or who handles any President's dog goes right past me.

Court case may change face of domestic violence laws
MISSOULA, Mont. - Two Montana judges rule a portion of Montana's law against partner or family member assault are unconstitutional.
According to rulings by Justice of the Peace Stormy Langston and District Judge James Wheelis the state's definition of partners, in relation to domestic assaults, violates the 14th Amendment. That amendment guarantees equal rights and protection to all people.
A defense attorney in Eureka said that wasn't fair to his heterosexual client who was accused of beating his girlfriend.
Now Langston and Wheelis have signed on to that argument and said the state law is unconstitutional.
According to Montana state law the term "partners" doesn't include people in a same-sex relationship. This means if an assault occurs in a same-sex relationship the assailant can only be charged with assault and not partner assault.
The difference is that the second time a person is charged with partner assault it becomes a felony rather than a misdemeanor. A judge can mandate repeat partner abuse offenders to attend counseling but under the current Montana code repeat same-sex partner assailants can't be charged with a felony or be ordered to counseling.
So far Missoula County Attorney Fred Van Valkenburg says no one has challenged the state law but some court workers in Eureka say the decision in this case will change the way future cases are prosecuted.
Van Valkenburg said partner assaults are not an uncommon problem in Montana. "It's a very serious problem in our society and we need to do something to try and prohibit those assaults," he said.
Van Valkenburg said if Montanans want partner assault laws changed they will need to push the topic with local legislators.

Apparently cell phone technology hasn't reached everyone.
Still... tapping into the transatlantic telecommunications cable while boating is pretty impressive.
Hope that's styrofoam.
LOL. Could well be. Hilarious no matter what, though. Thanks for posting the pic, KJJ.
Got a really good chuckle out seeing it and imagining manually biking a real load like that. Oh, man!
I knew we forgot something.
I guess they didn't supply a truck where that guy was hired hopefully his next load wasn't a ton of bricks. lol
Not sure if that's Beavis or Butthead.
Soon, very soon, the cat is going to figure out if it chases what's at the other end of the stick he'll get the treat a lot easier.
I was thinking the same thing :laugh1:
I want to take this truck to Roma and try to drive down their streets. :laugh2:

"I was supposed to visit LSU but I never got the paperwork," Goodman said. "I'm still talking with them and I may visit there in two weeks but I'm not really sure what I'm going to do. I'm playing in the West Coast Bowl this weekend so the only weekend I have left is that Feb 2 weekend.
"I could visit LSU or one of the Florida schools and I'm talking a lot with California too. On one hand, it would be fun to visit an out of state school that I've never seen but it might also be good to visit an in-state school because it's closer and Cal has been recruiting me hard so I'm just taking it day by day."
"I might do it on Signing Day," Goodman said. "Me and Priest are thinking of how we can do it together so we might actually do it this week. I'm still looking at all my options and that's why I may wait a few more weeks and do it Signing Day but Priest and I have both talked about wanting to start recruiting for the school we choose so that's why it could be as soon as this week.
Well if they are in fact a package deal it doesn't look good for LSU. It does seem weird that PW never mentions the package deal part though. I am really hoping the in home visit on Monday isn't just a last ditch effort.
I could visit LSU or one of the Florida schools and I'm talking a lot with California too. On one hand, it would be fun to visit an out of state school
I wish y'all were getting them both. I can't stand to see good players bRuin their lives.

I just found this it look good to me I thought I would share it with you all friends
Thanks, but there are better, more useable such nuc boxes available through the Supply outlets like Mann Lake, Dadant and Betterbee. And probably others.
I'm all in favor of Do it yourself, when one can or wants to, but I also believe in buying what is already available when it is practical to do so. I don't have the time, whereas others might. So, it's good you posted this here.

IMO - if these will hold up they are so much cheaper than the poly nucs available from supply stores. I'm going to try some this fall to winter nucs in my climate. I figure they will cost about $3.00 each and the only styro nucs I could find were over $25.00. Seems like they will be easy to make and assemble. Only question for me is durability. I think I'll coat the inside with something to keep the bees from chewing on them.
What R U going to do about Comdensation and Ventalation?
Mark Berninghausen
I'll use upper entrances and modify the top so it's more like a migratory cover. Also, I'll be able to feed syrup on the bottom in the fall. Easier than cans/bottles. Latshaw used EPS nucs over the winter without moisture buildup.
I noticed that Latshaw has screen covered holes high up on one end and down low on another. That would probably take care of moisture and venelation. Good that you're thinking about that.

I'm planning to reverse his holes and put the screened hole at the back, down low. I have too many problems with skunks and I like the top entrance in the winter. All my wooden nucs have top entrances and they are doing great this winter, even though we're having record snow.
u can use a piece of landscape fabrice on the top hive body the fabrice will help wick moisture away and prevent the top from sticking to the hive body

Thank's Taylors_Bees (helpful plans)
A couple of modifications I tried last year:
Built these with 3/4 HIGH DENSITY STYROFOAM last year.
(because its pink or blue does not mean that it's high density)
They will not chew the high density as readily.
(found out when I used regular styrofoam to make replacement cover
that had blown off and broke/no paint)
Hot glue works very well.
I spray paint inside and out with a quality exterior latex. (several coats)
No paint and they will chew on the styro, no problem with painted.
Let them dry in the sun several days open so the out-gas is gone.
I used piece of 3/8 plywood glued to the styrofoam ends on the inside and 3/4" short of the top.
Forms a ledge for the frame to set on/proper beespace for my migratory tops,
and holds the single bolt for the regular round plastic nuc entrances that I use.
Vent hole is 1-1/4 on the rear top near one side (so draft stays away from
the brood.) I use a hole saw and glue screen over the inside.
Remember to place heavy weight on them.
Cheap, Useful and Sturdy Enough

It seems to me that since the ends are supporting the weight of the frames that they should be full width. Especially the front, otherwise the frame weight is totally supported by the screws and glue.
If I made these, I would consider gluing a sheet of luan to the sheet of styrofoam before starting the cuts. The luan would provide a wooden interior and add strength to the assembly.
At a minimum, I would have the sides butt into the ends...
Thanks for posting the plans.
Trying to think inside the box...
I have 15 two story 5 frame wooden nucs and 10 single story 5 frame wooden nucs, here at home in the North Country, in the snow, on warehouse pallets, side by side and the singles stacked on each other. So that's two pallets worth.
I just got back from checking some to see how many are alive. I didn't want to open all of them, just to check them. It is about 38 degrees on my front porch.
I checked 3 singles and 3 dbls and found one single dead.
I haven't used styrofoam nuc boxes. The only experience I have had w/ them was a few years ago when a friend shipped some north from SC, because the guy who ordered the nucs had sent the boxes to be filled. Most of them overheated and died.
I have used wooden nuc boxes for a cpl decades now and they fit my way of working w/ nucs. The wood seems to have adequate R-Value for my purposes. But, maybe if I were planning on having live nucs overwinter in northern NY every year, I might consider styrofoam boxes a good idea.
I know an Amish Beekeeper who has the styrofoam(or whatever they are made of) hives. They seem to work well for him. But most folks I know up here have wooden hives and some wrap them and some don't.
I guess, as is true w/ lots of things in life, it depends on what one is exposed to that seems to work and they find fits their style that is what one ends up[ finding useful and appealing.
Since I have what I have, I'll probably stick w/ wood. Thanks for exposing me to something different.

Pc of 3/8 plywood or plain wood inside accomplishes, I butt into
the sides and the end corners. The styro ends are covering the end of the
side. I glue the plywood into a bed of glue in the corners, top & bottom.
Results in a VERY strong boxed assembly. You have to work quick and
when it cools it's OVER.
Screws are of NO value at all, regular glue weak, brittle like.
I tried both and then bought a cheap 2- temp glue gun.
I use hot glue, 100% safe and tuff.

What is the best way to make cuts on the thicker insulation board?
nice plans thanks
Great plans. I built some like this and had ventilation issues even with a screened hole in the back.
I had horrible problems with possums turning my nucs over and pulling out the frames. I'd go out at night and jack light those little devils but they invited all their kin folk over for the feast. I couldn't make a dent in the population and they basically killed my styro project.
Next winter, a solar-powered electric fence.

I wondered about the ventilation problems in them when it's warm. I had several wood nucs overheat this August. Were your problems mainly in the warmth? I was thinking I might put a plywood migratory cover on them with a upper entrance until it gets cold.
