I know, I was just joking. From what I hear, Gravity Rush is a great game.
It sure is, i played it with Rayman, Oddworld & Resistance and turns out GR was the awesomest game of all for Vita. not just that but also found out that Kat DLC has turned out to be the most Downloaded than the 3 other character DLC's & her trailer for Allstars has most number of views than Emmet, Isaac & Zeus.
Kat is just a amayzing character and her game was great, thats when now sequel coming if it is, its the best news on PSvita to me

odfrank... Would a smaller mesh screen wire, mounted flush with the wood (rather than recessed, as in the photo), so you could brush them off easily.
Turn it off occasionally. Haven't had this problem with mine. I use a fairly large vac so I have that hole partially closed.
Regards, Barry
This is how I did it and have not noticed any unwanted bees inside the top box. Of course, if a bee got sucked in there the vacuum could destroy the evidence
Sorry for the poor focus. Here is another picture. Note the handles for easy carrying and tie down. This is a thread showing all the construction details if you are interested. Wasn't able to load the pictures here for some reason.

...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
Barry... If you had this problem, wouldn't it work to leave the #8 mesh on as is, (recessed into underside of hole), and then, place a small mesh screen on the wood on top, that way you could take your hand and just brush them off if they were attracted (sucked) on to the screen.
Sorry, I'm backward thinking today! The more HP you have (6 is what mine is), the bigger you want the opening to cut down on suction, so I typically have mine fully open like the picture shows. Cleo, yes, that would work. Another thing to do would be to create a large mesh area, like a cylinder out of #5 hdwr cloth, 6" high, that would fit in the hole, thereby eliminating the bee's ability to clog up the hole. Think of downspouts on gutters, same problem of clogging.
Regards, Barry
Moving it farther away, a larger vent and window screen are good ideas but not perfect. I like it close so that I can turn it on and off a lot. And window screen would block the closure board which I also use for powerful suction when the hose gets clogged. A larger vent might be the solution. They are really attracted to that vent and the exhaust as soon as the queen has been sucked in.
I just deleted a dumb suggestion....involving bee quick near the exhaust.
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
I have "dog screen" on the underside of the full top rim. The closest bees can get to the suction exit is the dog screen covering the full box dimension == very low suction. Dog screen is heavy weight fiber window screen to defeat dogs that claw at sliding doors.
I built the top and bottom frame rim pieces out of 2x4. They are very stable, better than a narrow 1x rim. Also allows either a 8 frame or 10 frame box to be used as the chamber.
odfrank... Put you an in-line, on/off switch near you, move the vacuum farther away.
Those robo vac style bee vacs must drive the bees crazy with the motor just mere inches from them. Anyone notice this or am I just full of blue mud?
The vac system I built has the canister vac 20 feet from the bee vac. SOOOOOO much quieter for the bees AND me! If the set up is ideal, I can set the vac in a different room altogether and all you hear is the air exchange into the bee vac.
That makes a real enjoyable extraction.
It's blue mud. The vac system uses hoses, so you can have the unit as far away as you want. I use several lengths of 3" hose so the unit doesn't have to be right next to me.
Regards, Barry
I was having bees getting stuck on my variant of the bushkill vac. I was simply experiencing too much pressure at the vent to the point that bees couldn't remove themselves from it.
The only way to lower the pressure per square inch of the vent is to increase the vent size. Changing the screen size won't help. By doubling the vent opening, you reduce the pressure to 1/4th the original level, and the bees can fly or walk away from the vent. I opted for a 50% increase in vent size and was able to throttle the vacuum hose pressure without having stuck bees.
I made a variation of a "Bushkill" vac using the motor from an old canister vac, mounted inside the top box. Both air intakes are in the bottom board, so any bees that get near the "extra" intake are sucked into the catch box.

Balancing Act
Press freedom at risk as EU struggles to match action with values
The European Union strives to be a global leader in press freedom but faces challenges from member states that have criminal defamation and blasphemy laws, and have introduced counterterrorism measures, including mass surveillance. The EU has made press freedom imperative in negotiating with candidate countries, but has been accused of failing to take strong action when member states renege on their press freedom commitments. Journalists working in the region are also affected by EU laws and policies, such as the trade secrets directive and access to information regulations.

text: Hey, i looked around and really couldn't find any real situation like mine. I'm 18 and planning to buy a 05 STi. It will be on my dad's insurance (Progressive) and his record is clean besides a ticket back in 01, but my sister/brother/ me actually got into accidents not too long ago. Mine was no-fault, theirs wasn't. Was wondering how much insurance would be, i would probably drive only 20-30 miles a day or less. Thanks!

Reviews for this host's other properties
The five of us lived in the apartment three days in March. We all have felt from the beginning very well. We were welcomed and even got some tips for our stay. The apartment was clean, quiet and the beds were very comfortable. The only Mägel were the missing dish towel and few wine glasses ...
Although we were not lucky with the weather, we spent a very nice time in Prague and will definitely be back!
Zu fünft bewohnten wir das Apartement drei Tage im März. Wir alle haben uns von Anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir wurden freundlich empfangen und bekamen noch einige Tipps für uns unseren Aufenthalt. Die Wohnung war sauber, ruhig gelegen und die Betten waren sehr gemütlich. Die einzigen Mägel waren das fehlende Geschirrtuch sowie die wenigen Weingläser...
Obwohl wir kein Glück mit dem Wetter hatten, verbrachten wir eine sehr schöne Zeit in Prag und kommen bestimmt wieder!
Nice, clean and big apartment with an amazing view! See you soon
Super located apartment. Perfectly accessible by tram or on foot. Very good reception, flexible and accommodating. Good quality of the facility. Very nice atmosphere in the attic apartment.
Super gelegene Wohnung. Perfekt mit dem Tram oder zu Fuss erreichbar. Sehr guter Empfang, flexibel und entgegenkommend. Gute Qualität der Einrichtung. Sehr schöne Ambiance in der Dachwohnung.
Very nice apartment, great view, good location. Full marks.
Sehr schönes Apartment, super Aussicht, gute Lage. Volle Punktzahl.
The apartment was very nice and both Kate and Paula were very helpful with everything we needed. Spacious, comfortable and centrally located. The only downside was that the air-conditioning didn't seem to work very well, and so it got rather warm. Other than that, definitely a great place to stay in and wonderful hosts. We hope to stay with them again :)
The apartment is very lovely and is nicely located close to everything. The interior design is very pleasing, whoever the kitchen appliances are somewhat spare; few plates, few cups, few glasses, only one tea towel etc. -But this is only a small problem and it is easy to get around.
The host who greeted us there was very forthcoming and nice and was very informative.
The only reason the apartment doesn't get five stars is that a cleaning lady came during our stay without our knowledge, which made us a bit uncomfortable when we returned to the apartment later that day.
-Had we known, there would have been no problem, and the apartment review would read five stars instead.
Will definitely be returning!
Due to terrible weathter conditons (Carlsbridge was closed, politics recommended strongly tourist should not enter the city due to flood of Moldow) we had no chance enjoying the loft. Sad to say we had no chance on a refund and Wimdu not even did answer our mail concerning the necessary deletion of the booking.
We booked again 1 month later. The appartment has a wonderful view (two windows towards bridge an castle). Beds are not very comfortable, the second room is small and not very cosy. The kitchen is well equipped, they even serve you a dishwasher and coffee machine. And the manager was extraordinary friendly and helpful. All in all it has been a great experience. Nevertheless a little bad taste is left due to WIMDU who did not really care on our emails before and served us with informations on the loft that made it almost impossible to spot the location (they even did not serve us a street number). But thats another story. So far WIMDU 1 Star - Appartment 4
Great view, nice apartment and location
Clean and comfortable appartement - a fantastic location just in the middle of Prague
Nice flat, good Location close to Karls bridge and centre.
1 bedroom for 2 persons.
2x2 sleeping Places on Sofas.
Car Parking Passbild at an Underground Parking for 27 euros per day.

Does that word scare or excite you? Back at the end of the '70s, it did both for me as I listened over and over again to my Dad's LP of Jeff Wayne's original prog-rock epic interpretation of H.G. Wells' classic sci-fi novel, The War of the Worlds. It first came out just after Star Wars, and the two of them definitely shaped my childhood and got me into science fiction – I think the novel was one of the first sci-fi books that I read as a kid. I've listened to the album so many times over the last 30+ years – for me it's one of those pieces of music that you know every riff, key change and drum fill in and I cannot stop singing/air-guitaring/air-drumming along to it.
When I first heard that Jeff Wayne wanted to record a new version of it, I was was very worried to say the least. How many 'reboots' have we seen recently and how many of them have been travesties? There have been many cover versions and remixes of the various tracks over the years and none of them can really be said to have improved upon the originals. However, given that it was still in the hands of the original creator, I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. And the upcoming arena tour of the live show would give me the chance to be the 'GeekKid' for a change and take my Dad out for the evening – double bonus that the London date at the O2 was just after his birthday and very close to where he grew up in Greenwich.

I own a home and have some spare money to invest. I have been looking at ways to put that money to use and so far haven't found any good ones. Once you look into details, almost no investment looks good! And just leaving the money collecting 0.0000000000000000000000000000000001% (reverse-googleplex) interest seems just fine! Thanks to Bank of america - our neighborhood bank :)
One thought I have is to buy a condo in Fremont area close to BART.
I live in the peninsula area but the Cherry/Guardino area seems to be close to BART. Just for e.g. in this area -
39224 Guardino Drive #105, Fremont CA 94538
I can invest up to 20-40% and am well covered on credit scores, income etc.
Is it conceivable that if you buy something like this for investment, you can make some money?
Also what do you folks think is a good price for this or *similar* property? I think 170-180K is possible. It has about $350 HOA and the area seems decent with rent potential of 1400-1500/month

I just saw the drawing, so I quickly went to the site and filled out all the lines. THEN, right before clicking, I saw the line, winner will be posted on Facebook! UGH. I had to delete all my info. I am not ON Facebook, and will never be. I am a long time resident. Wish I could 'play' too. Such discrimination. I opt out of all companies who 'use' facebook, interact with them. Does it come with 'privacy protection' guarantees and insurance???

She returned to Russellville and taught humanities (Arts and Ideas) courses and philosophy courses at Arkansas Tech for 24 years.
Annie Laura Mixon was born Dec. 22, 1918, in Turner, Ark., Cypert (now Phillips) County in eastern Arkansas, the daughter of Laura O. Walker and Frederick F. Mixon.
She married Carl J. Jaggers on March 3, 1940. They were married for 55 years. Following Carl's death in 1995, she moved to Key West, Fla., where she lived for six years. A few years after returning to Dardanelle, she married Les Grady, who died in 2008.

China has never been the easiest place to surf the net anonymously, but now it's become virtually impossible following the government's most recent move to tighten its iron grip on web usage.
Earlier today, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress announced its decision to approve a proposed "identity management policy", requiring that all internet users register with their real names when signing up with a mobile carrier or online provider.
According to Li Fei, deputy director of the Commission for Legislative Affairs of the Standing Committee, the committee did take into account concerns raised by members of the public that the new rules could be detrimental to the exposure of corruption cases and the public's ability to criticize the government online, reports Xinhua.
Numerous instances of corruption involving Chinese officials have been exposed online, and the fears are that the new rules would make it easier for authorities to track down anyone who posts such stories.
However, Mr. Li dismissed these concerns, saying that identity management would be done "backstage", meaning that users could continue to post under pseudonyms on websites.
Unfortunately, the concerns don't end there. Under the new regulations, Chinese service providers will now be compelled to remove any content posted online that the government deems to be "illegal". In addition, service providers will also be required to turn over all information regarding illegal content to the government, which will then be able to track down and punish those responsible.
During its announcement, the committee also reminded citizens that they have a responsibility to report any illegal online information that they stumble across to the relevant authorities.
Xinhua's report doesn't explicitly state what kind of content could be considered 'illegal', but China's government is known to take a dim view of anything perceived as criticism of the communist party or its leaders. In attention, it operates a zero-tolerance policy with regard to adult websites.
China goes as far as to paint the new regulations as being in the best interest of web users, claiming that they will "help to protect digital information and user's privacy". In line with this, the new rules also make it illegal for the government and service providers to provide user data to third parties, says Xinhua.
However, Li ended his statement with a thinly veiled warning, reports Reuters:
"When people exercise their rights, including the right to use the Internet, they must do so in accordance with the law and constitution, and not harm the legal rights of the state, society…or other citizens."

"I used this card to inform family members about a boy I sponsor in Honduras to ask for donations in his name this holiday season. Thus, the "Feliz Navidad" was very appropriate...I simply added his name beneath this (instead of a family name like the example provided), and a quote in print beneath his name."

Woodland's General Plan 2035 Update may cost a few hundred thousand dollars more than anticipated.
At Tuesday's City Council meeting beginning at 6 p.m., city staff have prepared a report on the status of the project, the budget for which is presently $1.1 million.
"Based on input from the community and the critical nature of the General Plan as the community's long term growth plan, it has been necessary to expand the scope of work to beyond what was originally anticipated," said Principal Planner Cindy Norris in the report. "An estimated increase of $272,000 to $332,000 is projected to cover costs associated with the revised scope and process."
Additional budget allocation is not required at this time as sufficient funds remain within the original budget for the General Plan Update through this fiscal year, which ends June 30, Norris explained.
"However, the supplemental funding needed to complete the process will be incorporated into the proposed budget for fiscal year 2014-15," she added. "Any amendments to the original consultant contracts will be brought back to City Council for approval."
Funding for the General Plan was approved in the Capital Budget in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 in the amounts of $917,000 and $183,000, respectively from development impact fees and the Capital General Fund.
Furthermore, $70,000 has been authorized in fiscal year 2013 for the zoning ordinance update, with an additional $30,000 anticipated for fiscal year 2014. The total of the two projects through FY14 is $1.2 Million.
During the last year, about $1 million has been spent on the General Plan, according to Norris. Of that amount, $503,812 went to contracts, materials, and staff time. An additional $503,675 remains earmarked for contracts, but has not yet been paid out.
There is a remaining available balance of $92,514 yet to be allocated.
"It has become clear that the update is more comprehensive than originally anticipated," said Norris. "... Final scope and associated budget adjustments are still being refined, but it is projected that an additional $272,000 to $332,000 will be required to complete the update depending on the consultant effort needed. As there is approximately $92,000 remaining unencumbered funds that could be applied, the estimated increase to the budget will be $180,000 to $230,000. Staff will have a firmer number as refinement of the scope of work is completed."
"The General Plan project is moving into an crucial phase of evaluation and analysis which will set the stage for the development and drafting of the General Plan document, policies and environmental review," said Norris. "Determining the final preferred land use map is an essential task, as this map represents the path for future growth and development over the next 22 years. The Preferred Land Use Map will identify land use designations, development densities and intensities, and mix of uses for every parcel within the Urban Limit Line boundary."
Evaluation of the land use concept will occur through a process that involves public input at venues such as a community workshop, the Steering Committee and the Planning Commission. Final determination of the preferred plan will be made by the City Council. It is anticipated that the evaluation and determination of a preliminary preferred land use map and identification of possible initial alternatives will occur by February.
Staff plans to evaluate different General Plan cost recovery options to help off-set the city's cost of preparing the General Plan Update, according to the report. These options will be presented to the City Council for consideration with the budget process.

Greenhouse gas emissions – past, present and future emissions trends explored in three new reports
This report provides an early estimate of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the EU‑15 and EU‑27 for the year 2010. The official submission of 2010 data to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will occur in 2012.
Greenhouse gas emissions in Europe: a retrospective trend analysis for the period 1990 - 200807 Oct 2011
This report presents a retrospective overview of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trends in Europe from 1990 to 2008, with a particular focus on the underpinning drivers and the influence of EU policies. The analysis is based on the combination of decomposition analyses to identify the respective influence of each identified driver and an overview of the main EU policies and their likely effects on these drivers. The period covered by the analysis stops in 2008. As a result, the analysis does not address the effects of the recent economic crisis on GHG emissions. This reinforces the conclusion on long-term emission drivers. The report covers the EU-27 and presents results for the other European Environment Agency (EEA) member countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey) and Croatia (EU candidate country, together with Turkey) as far as data are available.
Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe 2011 - Tracking progress towards Kyoto and 2020 targets07 Oct 2011
This report presents an overview of the progress achieved so far by the EU, its Member States and other EEA member countries towards their respective targets under the Kyoto Protocol and the EU burden-sharing agreement, as well as 2020 targets set at EU level. The assessment is based on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission data in Europe for the period 2008–2010, including recent EEA estimates of proxy 2010 GHG emissions.

New Zealand's DIY market battleground is to get 14 new stores from two of the biggest players, including a 1.2ha giant site in New Lynn.
John Hartmann, Mitre 10 chief executive, said this week his chain would build eight new Mega stores before the end of this year, investing an estimated $160 million in the growing sector.
Jacqui Coombes, Bunnings chief executive, last year announced five new stores but since then the chain has revealed plans for its biggest Auckland outlet - a multi-level 1.2ha New Lynn giant with vast underground carparking on a sloping site.
A Mitre 10 spokesman said some products were particularly popular.
"Fans are ahead of average sales for this time of the year," he said.
DIY customers, including builders and contractors, are also taking advantage of the extremely dry Auckland building season.
"A lot of gib and cement is going out too. In tools, it's cordless drills - just about every home would have one - dual action saws with counter rotating blades and the multi-tool you see advertised on TV," he said.
"In the garden centres, it's black petunia bumblebee and the Campari tomato along with potted colour. Compost is going off pretty well and lawnmowers."
Hartmann said building product sales rose 23.4 per cent last month on December 2011, hardware and gardening sales were up 7.6 per cent and renovation and decor product lines up 6.5 per cent.
Mitre 10 has a North Island big-store growth focus, aiming to head off Bunnings in a turf war one developer said was like supermarkets, based purely on footprint.
"The only way these businesses can really grow their market share and profits is to get more stores on the ground," he said.
Of the eight Mega stores planned, only Queenstown has been announced.
In August, the Environment Court approved a new Mitre 10 Mega store at Frankton Flats near the site where the consent for a Pak'n Save supermarket was being appealed. The proposed single-level 6249sq m Mega building on a 1.82ha site is surrounded by non-rural land and had a formed legal road running through it.
Mitre 10 opened its 33rd and 34th Mega stores at the end of last year in Hornby and Rotorua.
Locations of the other seven have not been announced because either resource consent had yet to be sought, had been applied for but not granted, or the business was not in a position to reveal further details of expansion, the spokesman said.
"But all seven are in the North Island and in a mixture of cities or provincial centres," he said.
Bunnings had 48 stores at the end of last year, including Bunnings Warehouses, smaller format stores and trade centres. Bunnings has announced plans for six new stores, targeting high-growth areas Silverdale, Takanini, Hawera, New Plymouth and Blenheim.
The New Lynn multi-level store will have a level of carparking beneath the building, taking advantage of the site.
Coombes said 2010 revenue from New Zealand operations was $541.6 million, operating profit $20.8 million but the net result after interest and tax was a $2.3 million loss. That turned around in 2011 on revenue of $585.9 million and operating profit of $19.1 million, returning a $2 million net profit.
But Fairfax reported this month Bunnings had booked an annual loss from its New Zealand operations of $2.6 million for the year ended June 30, after a $1.9 million net profit previously, according to Companies Office records.

Students learn consequences of driving drunk
'Every fifteen minutes' takes the stage
According to the California Highway Patrol, every 15 minutes someone dies from an alcohol-related crash in the United States.
Wednesday, students at Cabrillo High School were shown what could happen if they choose to drive drunk.
The California Highway Patrol put on the Every 15 Minutes program for students. They set up a crash which showed several students injured and emergency responders trying to help them.
The idea is to make everything as realistic as possible so students will make the right decisions in life.
"This is definitely a big thing to see that you know, there are side effects if you make the wrong decision to drink and drive," said Cabrillo High School senior Nikki Friend.
Wednesday was just part one of the demonstration. Thursday, students will attend a mock memorial service for the victims of the crash.

INTERPOL Illicit Arms Records and tracing Management System (iARMS)
What is firearm tracing?
Firearm tracing is the systematic tracking of a firearm found or seized, from the point of manufacture or the point of legal importation into a country, through the lines of supply to the last known point of possession.
Firearm tracing involves close cooperation among law enforcement, customs and border control agencies internationally.
The 2005 International Tracing Instrument identifies INTERPOL as a key partner in the implementation of firearm tracing activities.
Firearm tracing can:
- Link a suspect to a firearm in a criminal investigation;
- Identify potential firearm traffickers;
- Detect firearm crime trends.
The tracing of illicit firearms is crucial component of the international strategy and framework to combat the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons in all its aspects.

Spin that Webb young Davis
I think Vick is hanging by a thread right now. They tried to threaten him by speculating about Foles and all this other chatter of them still evaluating their Qb situation, and he plays the way he did against Pit.
I still think he starts next week but this is really going to start pushing their hand.
I kinda miss the FIRE COUGHLIN/GILBRIDE/FEWELL/ELI SUCKS threads, they were a good laugh.
Mood: WOOF!
link pls
They've been calling for Reid's head after every loss for about 6 years now.
No one remembers who came in second.
Sounds like any "normal" fanbase to me.
Well its like rex grossman syndrome , if he is winning you cant take him out.
Some Packers boards are calling for Rodgers and Capers head. They are all wondering where their "Elite QB" went. I'd say they never had one..well, one close to Eli anyway. Not even in the same conversation, IMO

Does anyone have a real strong opinion on the "best" type of hat, veil, and bee suit? I think I prefer a jumpsuit. Thanks, BBK
Does anyone have a real strong opinion on the "best" type of hat, veil, and bee suit? I think I prefer a jumpsuit. Thanks, BBK
In summer I don't wear a suit, and often don't wear a veil.
In cooler weather, I wear a vented helmet and excelsior veil.
In cool weather my extra layers of clothing have been enough protection from stings, in warmer weather my bees seldom try to sting.
I *try* to get stung every week or two, though, as it seems to help lessen the pain of a knee injury that often bothers me otherwise.
(I usually have to provoke the sting)
I purchased the ventilated Mann Lake suit last Spring and did not get one sting while wearing it. I was filling my feeders without a suit one day and did get a sting on the wrist.....my only sting of the year.
I will put a jacket on before anything else, mostly because it is the fastest. I don't know how hot it gets in Bunkerville, but that might make me want just a veil. I haven't worn my suit in many years.
I just got an ultrabreeze as a early christmas gift, and I must say im pretty impressed. I havn't been able to actually use it yet, but I cant really tell how a bee would sting me through it.
Chris Cree
Cree's Bees
Once I developed an allergy to bee stings, I got an ultrabreeze suit. I haven't been stung with it on yet, and it is a LOT more comfortable than my old coverall style of suit. I did get one bee inside my veil one time because I ddin't get the veil closure done right. That was pretty scary!
Ultrabreeze, never been stung with it on...well not thru the jacket, how they found my plummers crack I will never know.
Mike Forbes
Red Dirt Apiaries
I've never been stung through my Golden Bee.
Khaki Dickie pants, tucked into white yellow toe socks, khaki long sleeve shirt, rolled up above the elbows, either veil with hat or not. Show them the "harry armed guy".
Crazy Roland
Never been stung through it.
Stung lots when not wearing it.
I love my ultra breeze. During the summer I wear no shirt under it and have only been stung once through my suit when I was carrying a super up against my stomach. Ultra breeze is a very well made suit. They were the only ventilated suit around for a while. But, now there are a couple other options. I have heard good things about the Mann lake and Pigeon mountain ventilated suits.
As far as veils go, I brooded over which type to get for a long while. Ended up with the attached dome style hooded veil and I am pleased with it. I didn't have any turning/binding issues with the veil. Biggest problem was trying to see a lot of detail through the mesh or wipe sweat off my brow!!
jeans, boots, old long sleeved white shirt, pith helmet with veil. duct tape jeans to boots. good to go. any stings on hands are good for the arthritis.
Jump suits I would think would bind across the shoulders or upper back, nice place for stings.
"If all you have is a hammer, the whole world is a nail." - A.H. Maslow
StevenG - you roll up the long sleeves?
Crazy (Harry armed guy) Roland
The best ones are always those old white shirts at the local Goodwill with someones name stenciled on the collar.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Sneakers, jeans, T-shirt, Alexander veil, Vermont Beekeepers cap. Oh yeah...Vermont. On chilly days, add one of them old white shirts from Goodwill. Mine say Green Mountain Coffee Roasters on the front. On cold days add an old sweater, and warm gloves, and my favorite toque. Then then snow comes....and on go the boots, long-johns, winter coat...get the bees wrapped up and put to bed.
Boots, carhartt pants, long sleeved shirt, vent hat and square veil. On colder days I put on a jacket. Gloveless hands.
Roland, sorry I'm so late in replying, been exceptionally busy....
Have hairy arms also, but don't like the bees getting into them... so I leave the sleeves rolled down. What thrills me is having my shirt stuck to me in the middle of August, and one of the little darlings nailing me between the shoulder blades...
I was taking a break one day, sitting in the shade drinking some water. One of the gals landed on my shirt, and I watched her suck up my salty sweat... have seen that on the back of my hand too.

Idaho Criminal Rule 32. Standards and Procedures Governing Presentence Investigations and Reports.
The following standards and procedures shall govern presentence investigations and reports in the Idaho courts:
(a) When presentence investigations are to be ordered. The trial judge need not require a presentence investigation report in every criminal case. The ordering of such a report is within the discretion of the court. With respect to felony convictions, if the trial court does not require a presentence investigation and report, the record must show affirmatively why such an investigation was not ordered.
(b) Contents of presentence report. A trial judge may request a record check and other background information concerning the defendant prior to sentence without conducting a full presentence investigation of the defendant. However, whenever a full presentence report is ordered, it shall contain the following elements:
(1) The description of the situation surrounding the criminal activity with which the defendant has been charged, including the defendant's version of the criminal act and the defendant's explanation for the act, the arresting officer's version or report of the offense, where available, and the victim's version, where relevant to the sentencing decision.
(2) Any prior criminal record of the defendant.

Where appropriate, the analysis should also include a specific recommendation regarding a psychological examination and a plan of rehabilitation.
(c) Recommendations concerning sentence. The presentence report may recommend incarceration but it should not contain specific recommendations concerning the length of incarceration, the imposition of a fine or the amount of a fine, or the length of probation or other matters which are within the province of the court. Provided, however, thepresentence report may recommend programs or treatment for the defendant andcomment as to the length of time that may be required for the defendant to complete anyrecommended programs or treatment. The presentence report may also comment generally on the probability of the defendant's successfully completing the term of probation or the defendant's financial ability to pay a fine imposed by the court.

(e) Information which may be included in the presentence report.
(1) Content. The presentence report may include information of a hearsay nature where the presentence investigator believes that the information is reliable, and the court may consider such information.

Further, if requested, the defendant's attorney, if the defendant is represented by counsel, shall be allowed to review any information in the presentence report which is so withheld from disclosure so as to allow the attorney a full opportunity to explain and rebut the information contained therein.
(3) Time of disclosure. Disclosure of the information contained in the presentence report under the conditions mentioned above shall be made at a sufficient time prior to the imposition of sentence so as to afford a reasonable opportunity for the defendant or defendant's attorney to verify or rebut any information contained in the report.

After use in the sentencing procedure, the presentence report shall be sealed by court order, and thereafter cannot be opened without a court order authorizing release of the report or parts thereof to a specific agency or individual. Provided, the presentence report shall be available to the Idaho Department of Corrections so long as the defendant is committed to or supervised by the Department, and may be retained by the Department for three years after the defendant is discharged. If probation or parole supervision is transferred to another state, the Department may provide a copy of the presentence report to the supervising entity in that state. In addition, when preparing a report on a defendant, a presentence investigator shall have access to previous presentence reports, including all attachments and addendums, prepared on that defendant, whether in the same case or in previous cases. The pre-sentence investigator's own copy of the presentence report similarly is restricted from use by all but authorized court personnel. Neither the defendant, defendant's counsel, the prosecuting attorney nor any person authorized by the sentencing court to receive a copy of the presentence report shall release to any other person or agency the report itself or any information contained therein. However, as provided in Article 1, Section 22(9) of the Idaho Constitution, the victim has a right to read, but not to have a copy of, the presentence report. Any violation of this rule shall be deemed contempt of court and subject to appropriate sanctions.
(2) Availability of presentence information to evaluators. The presentence investigator may release information relating to the defendant's criminal history and law enforcement reports related to the offense for which the defendant is to be sentenced to persons preparing reports to assist the court in sentencing pursuant to a court-ordered evaluation. Any person receiving such information shall not release that information to any other person or agency. Any violation of this rule shall be deemed contempt of court and subject to appropriate sanctions.
(3) Availability of presentence report to third parties. With the permission of the sentencing judge, the presentence report may be available to persons or agencies having a legitimate professional interest in the information likely to be contained therein, if it appears that such availability will further the plan or rehabilitation of the defendant or further the interests of public protection, and that appropriate safeguards or the confidentiality of information contained in the presentence report will be provided by the persons or agencies receiving such information. Such persons or agencies may include a physician or psychiatrist appointed to assist the court in sentencing, an examining facility, a correctional institution, a probation or parole department, or the supervisors of a public or private rehabilitation program.
(4) Availability of presentence report to problem-solving court personnel. With the permission of the sentencing judge, the presentence report may be made available to problem-solving court personnel for purposes of screening the defendant to determine the defendant's suitability for admission into a problem-solving court program.
(5) Availability of presentence report on appeal. When relevant to an issue on which an appeal has been taken, the report shall be available for review in courts of appeal when requested by a party or ordered by the court pursuant to Idaho Appellate Rule 31 (b). Pictures and depictions of child pornography contained in the report that are placed in a separate envelope pursuant to subsection (e )(1) of this rule shall not be transmitted to the parties or the court as part of the appeal unless specifically requested.

AOL's Brit Keller Talks Ads, Equality and Skateboarding
Mar 27, 2012
In an industry that's constantly evolving, it's hard to differentiate a company's advertising offerings from those of its competitors in the space. It takes a uniquely talented individual to tackle this challenge and Brit Keller, manager of the AOL advertising operations team, has the solution.
An AOLer for over seven years, Keller oversees all parts of the advertising process – from pricing to design to creative launch – and understands the factors that contribute to successful advertising offerings.
According to Keller, what makes AOL different is its products, technology and people. "Our products are fantastic – both the content we produce and the products we offer to advertisers specifically," says Keller. "Meanwhile, our technology delivers great results towards our clients' objectives, but the real differentiator is our people. We offer the best customer service in the marketplace and our people behind the scenes making our products and technology are as good as they get."
"From a campaign perspective, we're looking for business that is healthy and sustainable – it has to make sense for AOL and our clients from a yield standpoint. From an ad perspective, I always ask myself whether or not I would click or engage with the ad. We're all internet users first and foremost, so we have to constantly ask ourselves: Would I click on that? Will this yield brand loyalty? We then look at engagement measurements and ask: How are consumers interacting? How long? Are they clicking through? What actions are they taking? There's always a quantitative and qualitative analysis. If we meet and exceed our clients' expectations, and they continue to be a long term partner, those relationships are indicative of our success."
When asked about ad design, Keller explains that having a good understanding of the brand is most important. "Each brand has guidelines that they want us to work within. Once we have these parameters we can then identify that particular campaign's objectives. Does the client want to drive loyalty and engagement? Are they looking to drive clicks and/or a particular action? Lastly, we want to have fun with the design. We want the experience for online consumers to be as positive as possible by aligning the advertising with our content standards. It's an iterative process so we produce several concepts, work through rounds of feedback and make continual refinements before we reach the final product we want to publish and put out to the consumer."
Although the technology and operational part of the advertising industry is often associated as a male-heavy field, Keller says she doesn't see the connotation. "AOL does a great job of cultivating an open and equal environment for all employees. It's rare when I realize that I'm the only girl sitting in the room," said Keller. "AOL hires the brightest and most innovative people in the industry so I am constantly challenged to keep up with brilliant people around me. That's more of a factor then being a female." Keller also lists the people that work at AOL as her favorite part about working at the company. "AOL has been through a lot over the past years, and the people here are truly dedicated and inspired by what we do. We're making a difference in the industry and the company. It's an exciting time to be at AOL and I get reinvigorated every day because I work with folks who feel the exact same way.
And what makes Brit unique, other than her analytical mind and great understanding of the ad space? Her skateboard. An avid skateboarder, Keller spends her free time skating on the indoor ramp she shares with a bunch of her friends. She also skates with her Baltimore colleagues, but did not trythe sport until her mid-twenties which she does not recommend. "Broken bones hurt more later in life than when you're seven years old."

Lubov is definitely a stah! So adorable. With Jessica and Bryce out for the season, it opens up the National title for new champions to be crowned. I think that Dylan & Kirsten are the front runners especially if they skate like that.
Lubov is definitely a stah! So adorable. With Jessica and Bryce out for the season, it opens up the National title for new champions to be crowned. I think that Dylan & Kirsten are the front runners especially if they skate like that.
I think the Russians didn't have much connection with the music. The moves didn't even seem to go with it at times. I'm not surprised it was that close with the 2nd-place Canadians. I love Kirsten and Dylan now. I'd only seen them like once before. Paige and Rudi are pretty good too. I feel bad for Meaghan and Eric, but they are a new team and should improve. Somehow they don't seem to fit together though. I don't know exactly what it is.
And yeah, what is unbelievable, that whenever some canadian fronrunner teams are retiring, new teams which were completely overlooked are coming out of nowwhere and keep the world class pair program going.
I was shocked yesterday by T-M /M with their LP. And so was David Pelletier. And that is a good sign!They could fill in the space left by Dube / Davison for sure.
And you are right, working with ice dance choreographers could do wonders for a pairs team to stand out with a program, mostly because the vast majority look usually like a string of eleme3nts. There so much stuff demanded by the system to rack up the points, that is very little room left to showcdase anything else. The ice dance choreographers seem to find a way to add little touches which can separate their programs of the pack.

The Russians deserved their win. They were the best in a ho hum competition.
The Russians deserved to win, but I don't think they were great. They are so young and she is cute, they should skate to something fresh and not those havy overused musics. They migth have a great future ahed of them but I wish they bring to their skating more personality.
I agree that Lubov/Nodari need to work on their connection to each other, but it's not like the Canadians were better in this regard. In terms of skating skills, posture, line, flow, etc - the Russians were in a completely different level than the Canadians. Upon rewatching, the Canadians didn't seem much faster either. I stand by my statement that the PCS for them is too high.

I give Meaghan all the credit in the world for working as hard as she has to improve so much since first being paired with Craig..but I don't know how much farther she can go. I know they're looking at this as a long term proposition , but I'm not sure she can ever equal his line.
It's strange how these pairings occur..It just makes me wonder..if he and Jessica Dube were ever at loose ends at the same time and if they ever tried out together.
No,no..this is not bad wishes for either of their partners..It's just that often there has been a lot of behind the scenes shuffling and what-iffing..I just wondered...
Iliushechkina / Maisuradze
Lubov is really exquisite. They need to work on their spins and avoid silly mistakes like on the spiral sequence and finishing after the music.
The problem is that a lot of girls look poor beside Eric Radford. This is his third partner in as many seasons. And if you've noticed, Cody Hay is also taking a long time to find a partner. I do wonder if he'll even find one with enough time to put himself w/ her as a contender for Sochi (for the team).
Personally, I think they need to work w/someone different for Choreography. I didn't care for the majority of the programs Juile Marcotte gave Megan and Craig and that feeling continues w/this Season w/Eric. Although, the LP does have potential for maybe being the exception to that w/me.
Still...It always seems that Megan and her partners get stuck w/this heavy duty music from Julie and it just does not suit them at all!! There's so much stuff out there that's both powerful and not so plodding/heavy sounding that's there's just no excuse for it, but it keeps happening for some reason.
Sad too, as I feel it was a disservice to Megan and Craig and now to Megan and Eric.

Hi Guys,
I have a question that hopefully you guys can answer. I have purchased a very basic Pfund honey grading system: Jacks Scale
My question is, Has anyone correlated a direct relation between the mm reading and the type of honey. For example, has anyone measured sourwood honey and if so what was the mm reading. It seems to me there should me a correlation between the type of honey and the color. So therefore the measuring the color should be able to classified as a certain type of honey (depending on region).
Tell me if I'm on to something or is there too many variables in the honey. Can true sourwood honey vary in color from year to year?
Thanks in advance!

In 1952, the Anton Cancer Research Center in Germany reported that it had randomly surveyed as many as 1,000 cancer patients, checking cancer occurrence by the occupation.
Among those surveyed there were 46 brewers, 23 bakers, 21 farmers, 20 doctors and 19 architects, however, no beekeepers. From this report the strong possibility of cancer prevention by occasional honey bee sting was founded.
The writer, in fact, has found that in his area of residence no beekeeper has suffered from cancer, rheumatism or neuralgia. The said fact leads us to believe that the occasional sting from a honey bee is widely effective in the prevention of cancer as well as other diseases.
Japanese doctor Mr.Maruyama developed a vaccine based on the idea that consumptive or leprous patients do not possess cancer and a Russian scientist has researched the cancer prevention function of bee acupuncture solution based on the fact the beekeepers rarely die due to cancer.


text: after putting on several pollen traps, i thought i would share what i have seen and maybe get some feedback on it. installed on two seemingly strong hives one of which had swarmed may 1st ,this hive lost a lot of fresh comb in the move to my place and i think the felt crowded. anyways that hive produced good pollen everyday and the other just small amounts. for several weeks now that has totally switched and the one that gave has slowed to a trickle and the other is giving pollen like gangbusters. i am amazed that the pollen from two hive ten feet apart give totally different pollens, neat. some problems did occur with the drones it seems that they would no use the drone escapes as designed, on occasion i would visit the hives at the warmest part of the day and pull the pollen catchers and loads of drones would come marching out many just stumbled off the landing board buzzing loudly hit the ground and just keep marching. one day i did find a pile up of dead bees mostly drone 150 or so mostly drone. with screened bottoms on my warres i would get bees at times just clinging to the screened bottom and lost some on cool nights this spring. i would try to rescue them but could not check them every night. i figured they could smell and hear the hive bees but not get in and instead of goin back to the front they just hung there. i solved that by making a hole in each front corner of the bottom screen, one bee size, and have never had an issue since. i laid under the hives observing and the bees that use it as an entrance is minimal and as an exit minute. i don't see as many drones and i don't know if this is normal or bad. recently when i have pulled the pollen trap card out a few drones are getting the buts drug out of the hive and thrown off the landing board. when i first put these traps on i questioned my enthusiasm as i watched the field bees struggle to get in through those little asterisk type holes, now the bees leaving all are smaller and zip in and out without all the drama as before. these are small cell bees. comments, thoughts, and education welcome.

Residents take County Road 3 improvement project concerns to county board
Making improvements to a six-mile stretch of Crow Wing County Road 3 from Crosslake to Fifty Lakes does not sit well with some county residents.
Nancy Koch of Crosslake and Ronda Veit of Fifty Lakes discussed their concerns Tuesday, July 23, during the open forum at the Crow Wing County Board meeting.
Koch said 70 residents signed a petition asking that the construction plans for the road be revisited. Construction on the road is planned for the summer of 2014. Koch said the petition was given to the Crosslake City Council earlier this month, but Koch said residents were not given a chance to talk.
The Crosslake City Council approved the road improvement plan Monday, July 22.
Koch and Veit were concerned about losing the country beauty along the road. The residents said the trees sitting along the residents' properties along County Road 3 would be cut down to accommodate the road improvement project that includes a 66-foot right-of-way.
"Why does this road have to have 8-feet shoulders?" Koch asked the board.
Veit said, "This project will be devastating and destroy the natural beauty of the road. It will be impacted by construction and a great number of residents will not have any front yard remaining. People are already speeding and passing illegally and with this project, it will just get worse.
"I understand the county is trying to improve the conditions of the road, so we have a safer road ... The design of the road goes way beyond ... I ask you to reconsider."
County Engineer Tim Bray said the county is working with the cities of Crosslake and Fifty Lakes on reconstructing County Road 3 from County Highways 37 to 1 and will cut down trees where the county had to acquire property for the project. Bray said the county has gone through extensive planning and meetings and both the Crosslake and Fifty Lakes city councils have agreed to move forward with the road project.
"We have heard from a lot of folks and we are aware of the petition, which were more for the city councils to act on," said Bray. "As it turned out it did not sway their vote."
Bray said the cost of the project is about $3.5 million and it addresses safety concerns and pavement conditions. The completed road section will have 12-foot driving lanes and 8-foot paved shoulders, he said, and the project meets state standards, accommodates the traffic volume and addresses the high volume of pedestrians who walk or bike along County Road 3.
During the open forum time, the county board does not take any action.
Commissioner Paul Thiede said the two cities agreed to the county's design for the road and the public process was conducted. Thiede said not everyone will be satisfied with the outcome of a road project.
