Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Here Pema Chödrön introduces a powerful, transformative method to nurture these qualities using a practice called lojong, which has been a primary focus of her teachings and personal practice for many years. This book presents fifty-nine pithy slogans from the lojong teachings for daily contemplation and includes… Read More

The Intelligent Heart
A Guide to the Compassionate LifeCompassion arises naturally when one comes to perceive the lack of solid distinction between self and other. The Buddhist practice known as tonglen—in which one consciously exchanges self for other—is a skillful method for getting to that truthful perception. In this, his commentary on the renowned Tibetan lojong (mind training) text the Seven Points of Mind Training, Dzigar Kongtrul reveals tonglen to be the true heart and essence of all… Read More

Don't Believe Everything You Think
Living with Wisdom and CompassionIt can be hard for those of us living in the twenty-first century to see how fourteenth-century Buddhist teachings still apply. When you're trying to figure out which cell phone plan to buy or brooding about something someone wrote about you on Facebook, lines like "While the enemy of your own anger is unsubdued, though you conquer external foes, they will only increase" can seem a little obscure. Thubten… Read More

Living Beautifully
with Uncertainty and ChangeWe live in difficult times. Life sometimes seems like a roiling and turbulent river threatening to drown us and destroy the world. Why, then, shouldn't we cling to the certainty of the shore—to our familiar patterns and habits? Because, Pema Chödrön teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more satisfying experience of being fully alive. The teachings she presents here—known as the "Three Commitments"—provide a wealth… Read More

Into the Heart of LifeThe real test of our Buddhist practice happens not on the cushion or in the protected space of retreat, but moment-to-moment in daily life, particularly when we find ourselves in uncomfortable situations. How do we respond? In this book, one of the most respected Western figures of contemporary Buddhism, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, offers insights gleaned from more than forty years of engagement with Buddhist practice. Her perspective is vast, with… Read More

The Practice of Lojong
Cultivating Compassion through Training the MindFor many centuries Indian and Tibetan Buddhists have employed this collection of pithy, penetrating Dharma slogans to develop compassion, equanimity, lovingkindness, and joy for others. Known as the lojong—or mind-training—teachings, these slogans have been the subject of deep study, contemplation, and commentary by many great masters. In this volume, Traleg Kyabgon offers a fresh translation of the slogans as well as in-depth new commentary of each. After living among and… Read More

Mind TrainingThis small accessible book contains the essence of the Seven-Point Mind Training, expressed in the intimate colloquial style that distinguishes Ringu Tulku's teachings. The Seven-Point Mind Training, a lojong practice, assumes no prior special training or preparation. It does not require practitioners to enter seclusion or change the way they live their lives. It asks that they examine their relationships with all those around them and make a strong determination… Read More

Eight Verses for Training the Mind
How do we free ourselves from the demon of self-concern? These instructions are found in Eight Verses for Training the Mind, one of the most important texts from a genre of Tibetan spiritual writings known as lojong (literally "mind training"). The root text was written by the eleventh-century meditator Langritangpa. His Holiness the Dalai Lama refers to this work as one of the main sources of his own inspiration and… Read More

Around the world, parking spaces were transformed into miniature public parks and community centers on Friday, as the fifth annual Park(ing) Day challenged people to reimagine city streets without cars — if only until the meters ran out.
Originally a project of San Francisco-based art and design studio Rebar, Park(ing) Day participants from Tucson to Tehran set up temporary installations ranging from simple unrolled sod to art galleries and even free health clinics.
"In urban centers around the world, inexpensive curbside parking results in increased traffic, wasted fuel and more pollution," said Rebar's Matthew Passmore. "The strategies that generated these conditions are not sustainable, nor do they promote a healthy, vibrant human habitat."
Over 50 spaces in New York City alone became miniature public parks, with participants tweeting and checking in on Foursquare. In Paris, the festivities lasted for two days and included bicycle tours of the different parks. And in Brisbane, knitters made trees and grass from yarn.
In order to participate, groups only had to fill out a license form from Rebar and abide by local rules and regulations. Luckily, most of them took tons of pictures, which we bring to you.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by maxdallasfan, Oct 21, 2012.
They are beasts. That team punches you in the face. Yikes.
Yeah they are. Week in, week out, they...er....wait... what happened last week?
Thanks for the heads up. But this is a Cowboys message board (fan zone). You should direct this type of thread to the NFL Zone.
Haha. Yeah I know. But they sure responded. Flacco looked like a peasant today. Ray Rice too
They weren't beasts last week.
Be interesting to see how they play against other elite QBs -- I don't count Joe Flacco as elite.
It's cool.
Real Texas football is played in Houston.
Not that hollywood crap that goes on in Dallas.
The NFL happened. No one brings their A game every single week.
I'd say parity happened just as Goodell and the owners wanted.
I love people bashing on the Texans, because Aaron Rodgers played at his HoF level, clicking on all cylinders, as if this somehow magically taints what the Texans have done and are doing.
Flacco looked like a poor farmer?
A peasant is a member of a traditional class of farmers, either laborers or owners of small farms, especially in the Middle Ages under feudalism, or more generally, in any pre-industrial society.[1][2] In Europe, peasants were divided into three classes according to their personal status: slave, serf, and freeman. Peasants either hold title to land in fee simple, or hold land by any of several forms of land tenure, among them socage, quit-rent, leasehold, and copyhold.[3]
It does..... It doesnt matter how many games they win..... The AFC only had two teams with winning records before yesterday's games. If they want to be relevant they need to beat playoff teams like the Giants and Packers.....
When they lost to the Packers they showed that they were not as good as their record says.
The Ravens are not remotely the same team on the road. See that 9-6 win at KC as exhibit A.
Houston is good though.
How are they not relevant when they just went to the play-offs last year and won a game, when Dallas has only 1 play-off win in 17 years despite a bunch of scrubby teams in the NFC, during an era when the NFC was losing Super Bowls consistently to the AFC? They just whalloped the Ravens, and to repeat, their only loss being when Aaron Rodgers was playing HoF football, meaning most likely nobody would have stopped the Packers that day...
A loss shows they are not good as their record says? man, the Cowboys must really suck then... lost to the Ravens by what 2 points, with the sorry Texans only putting up 40 on them and holding them to how many points... Because you know, the texans played nobody yet...
the Texans are really good.
They are just like every other team though..capable of stinking it up.

Architecture in Quebec
07 May 2008 - 29 Aug 2008
To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the founding of Quebec City in 1608, the Library and Archives presents a selection from its holdings of documentary photographs of religious and secular architecture in Quebec. Images from the Gérard Morisset fonds of the Inventaire des oeuvres d'art, the Gérard Lavallée archive, as well as original photographs by Jean-Paul Morisset, which the National Gallery of Canada toured as part of the exhibition Early Quebec Architecture in 1961–1964 and 1967–1968, will be included. Organized by the National Gallery of Canada Library and Archives.

Right now I have a membership to World Gym which is 5 miles away from my house. I figure this membership would save me money ($40) from World Gym ($50) and through gas money. My only use of the gym is the weights. I am a big kid and I love to lift only, as I am not into the use of the pool and basketball courts. Is L.A. Fitness a good place to lift? World Gym is basically known for being a lifting-central gym. I just hope L.A. Fitness doesn't turn out to be some sleezy gym like Planet Fitness. What do you members think of it? Is it worth it?

yep. Not at all.
This dude does strongman training and eats all fucking day long.
You know she got some of that Ubereem dick after that photoshoot.
only after two weeks of trying it
i know people who fucking curl 10 pounds for 40 reps 1 set and think they're buff
Doesn't strongman training have lots of stuff that's in the medium rep range? Very few of the challenges classical strongman competitions have to do with one rep maximum.
For an example
Finnish strongman J. Virtanen did lots of 8-20's in his gym routine. Next to that strongman exercises stuff such as farmers walk and tire flip (flip a heavy tire 10-20 times as fast as you can) and truck pull are far from one rep max.
I remember watching a document of him awhile ago.
He has gotten
-Gold in World strongman challenge
-gold, silver and bronze in the Worlds strongest man
-Four golds in the Worlds strongest team
-Four golds in Finlands strongest man
-18 golds in finnish wrestling
-Silver in sumo wrestling world championships.
-Two silvers in Europes strongest man.
low rep
doesn't mean
one rep max.
Nobody actually does one rep max as a constant training paradigm unless they are retarded.
At any rate, the point is people need to get rid of this retarded idea that you can't build slabs of muscle without doing 13 different bicep curl variations with every set going to failure. Low volume high intensity work is more than capable of building slabs of muscle. Futhermore, if you are an athlete in any kind of anaerobic performance sport/event, power training is ideal.
Well I meant low reps with "close to one rep max". True what you are saying though.
Btw there's also the other side: "research has shown that using loads in the 90%+ range causes failure to occur before a growth stimulus has been sent to the cells. The muscle simply does not have sufficient time under tension to stimulate the growth process. "

Though Id like to point out any studies should not be generalized too much. For an example people use the studies that show no correlation between stretching and amount of injuries to say that stretching is useless in sports.
It's true that it's a shitty warm up and does not help physical recovery. But it increases mobility and shitty mobility does cause injuries in things such as martial arts and sprinting. There's probably at least one guy per every taekwondo basics course, who try to do a front kick to their head level right away and end up rupturing their thigh or groin, due to bad mobility.

"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Mine came the same as Ken3030's. Bronze bolt, t stock. The magwell is in good shape. I ordered a tube and barrel from Stenparts.com, they should be here tommorow.
standard 1 1/2" OD electrical conduit (EMT) is same dimension as sten, swede K, and several other tubeguns.
you can buy it at lowes in 10 foot lengths cheap.
it is common 1018 steel, but is tough enough to run tens of thousands of rounds.
If you want a different caliber, I have seen a MKII the guy had converted to .38Super. All he did was ream the chamber of a spare bbl with the .38 reamer, ran fine. He did have to handload as the mag is a bit short for the max OAL on a .38Super. Since he ran .38 Major in his race guns, doing so was not an issue. He had the steel bolt, BTW, and it was an open bolt dealer sample so YMMV.
Kits are fun but I want to build it all from scratch. I have the metric version of blue prints, I was hoping some one converted them or was a standard(American) set?????

Canada could easily have more medals... especially in speed skating.* But, 9 for Canada and 24 for USA isn't bad when you consider your population is 1/10th ours.

As time goes by the US will get less medals in half-pipe, moguls, etc.*... the newer events.**Other countries will catch up to the US in these events*in coming Olympics.

The addition of these*facilities (I'm not sure if the intention is to keep them all) *will only make the Canadians stronger in the future.* I see where a lot of US athletes, especially from the Northwest, have been using the facilities a lot, too.
[/quote]this is worse than bad. its embarassing. there must be a curse on home feild.. we usually get 20 or so medals, they've finally invested money in these athletes so finishing below 20 may put an end to that in a hurry

While its first U.S.-based aircraft assembly plant is under construction at Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley, Alabama, Airbus is venturing into another international project with local connections – professional women's golf.
Airbus will be the title sponsor for the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) tournament in Mobile this spring. The tournament will be known as the Airbus Mobile Bay LPGA Classic, and will be held May 22-25 at the RTJ Magnolia Grove in Mobile, Alabama.
"The announcement that Airbus would be assembling A320 Family aircraft in its first U.S.-based production line in Mobile capped a long campaign that brought the community, elected officials and business together and put Mobile on the international stage within the aviation community," said Allan McArtor, Chairman of Airbus Americas. "Now, Airbus is proud to combine its name with another event which puts Mobile on the international stage in another arena: ladies professional golf."
The LPGA is the world's leading professional golf organization for women. Founded in 1950, it has diverse membership – with more than 1,700 members representing 29 different countries.

crithidia mellificae could this be the missing link in CCD?

Belgium study Showing correlation between nosema c. and crithidia mellificae and winter losses
http://www.plosone.org/article/info%...e-0020656-g006 USA STUDY,2011 The broad scope of our microarray platform enabled identification of an unexpected microbe, Crithidia mellificae, in our time-course samples (Figure 6). Given that Crithidia bombi is a bumble bee pathogen and trypanosomatids were previously described in honey bees [9], [66],
The two species also differ significantly from another crithidia species, C. mellificae from the honey bee, which the researchers compared the bumblebee parasites with.
To the naked eye, however, the species can hardly be told apart one reason why only genetic tests revealed the correct species they belonged to. That said, C. expoeki is slightly larger than C. bombi, as measurements conducted on the protozoa demonstrated. ,
The two pathogens are found all over the world. They have also reached new areas because the large earth bumblebee either naturally or introduced by man has also spread. Breeders from Belgium and the Netherlands in particular sent their bumblebees all over the world, where the industrious insects were used as pollinators in agricultural cultures. They also took the single-celled parasites with them as stowaways. In North America, for example, a dramatic decline has been observed in bumblebees for some time now. This could be due to the crithidia introduced.

Reception for John Jeremie Faircloth exhibition: "Beautifice"
Savannah, GA
1 N. Fahm St.
The SCAD exhibitions department presents "Beautifice," an M.FA thesis exhibition of work by John Jeremie Faircloth. Faircloth presents paintings that explore a unique character, the Diminished Man, who serves as an icon and mythological metaphor of sadness, heartbreak, the inability to perform and inadequacy. He has failed to grow into maturity, a primary expectation of his female companions.
The work whimsically reflects male buffoonery as it relates to romantic and fetishized love. The paintings entice the viewer through direct visual contact with unusual characters and a field of settings, icons and magical allegories. The staged settings, the "actors," and the iconography are at times invented, and at other times borrowed. These narratives make possible the building of provocative new stories simultaneously foreign and familiar. The paintings explore both rational and irrational behavior and invite the viewer to ride along on a strange journey down the path of magical imagination¬—at once a cathartic act and an exploration of the absurd.
The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

The Southland is bracing for massive cuts in federal spending at the end of the week, with education and airport officials in particular worried about the impact of the impending reductions.
The federal government is scheduled to enact $85 billion in immediate cuts Friday, and $1.2 trillion in reductions over 10 years, as part of a debt ceiling deal agreed upon two years ago, unless Congress acts first.
The Head Start early education program is among many that could see a loss in funding.
At the Pine Head Start program in Long Beach, which serves more than 1,000 children, staff members said they were concerned about the impact after teachers saved it from closing last year by taking pay cuts.
"We've already been cut so much and we're all concerned because we don't know what's going to happen come fall," said head teacher Angela Hullett.
At the city and county levels, officials around the region stopped short of forecasting draconian immediate effects beyond impacts to air travel.
Airports across the region could have fewer air traffic controllers, security screeners and custom officers as federal agencies impose furloughs and other cuts, though officials said they were uncertain how the reductions would take place.
Long Beach Airport Director Mario Rodriguez described the network of airports as an interconnected "spider web" where, at any given time, 50,000 aircraft are in the skies ferrying passengers and cargo between almost 500 airports.
"In other words, they'll take the six-lane highway and turn it into a four-lane highway," Rodriguez said last week.
The Federal Aviation Administration is facing a $600 million cut, and officials will furlough most of the agency's 47,000 employees at least one day per pay period, which could lead to slower air traffic, a White House report said.
The FAA is also looking at eliminating overnight hours at Ontario Airport and may potentially close several local airports, including El Monte, Riverside, Victorville, Palmdale, Oxnard, Santa Monica and Lancaster.
The Transportation Security Administration could also be forced to have workers take time off, increasing passenger waiting time by 30 to 50 percent, the report said. Workforce reductions at the U.S. Customs Service at major hubs such as the Los Angeles International Airport could result in wait times of up to four hours for international travelers.
TSA officials said it could be 60 days before major delays are experienced, leading to some hope that lawmakers can hammer out a deal before then.
Speaking to the nation's governors on Monday, President Barack Obama also acknowledged that the impact of the cuts may not be felt immediately. But he said the uncertainty is already impacting the economy, as the Pentagon and other agencies get ready to furlough employees.
"At some point we've got to do some governing," Obama said. "And certainly what we can't do is keep careening from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis."
Even as Obama told governors that the across-the-board cuts could be avoided with "just a little bit of compromise," his administration released a state-by-state breakdown of the effects of the so-called sequester in a last ditch attempt to pressure congressional Republicans to stop the indiscriminate reductions.
Republicans, however, accused Obama of spreading fear about the spending cuts.
"He's trying to scare the American people. He's trying to distort the impact," said Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. "The president needs to stop campaigning. Stop trying to scare the American people."
According to the White House, California would be hit hard, losing $87.6 million in funding for primary and secondary education, along with an additional $62.9 million for educators who help children with disabilities.
Early education will also be cut, as the government eliminates Head Start and Early Head Start services for about 8,200 children.
Hullett, the Long Beach Head Start teacher, said early childhood programs are essential for preparing children in low-income communities.
"They get so much preparation before they reach kindergarten that the kindergarten teachers really know the difference," she said. "They can tell which students were in Head Start and which students were not."
The Los Angeles Unified School District estimates it would lose about $37 million, roughly 5 percent of the $725 million in federal money it expects to receive next year to help educate nearly 600,000 students. Officials at the nation's second-largest school district were working Monday to figure out what programs it would cut from its $6 billion budget to close the gap left by sequestration.
The Long Beach Unified School District, the state's third-largest district, is budgeted to receive about $66 million this year in federal revenue, but under proposed cuts the district would lose about $3.5 million annually, said LBUSD spokesman Chris Eftychiou.
Vaccine funding would also suffer, falling by $1.1 million statewide and causing 15,810 fewer children to be inoculated for diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, whooping cough, influenza and Hepatitis B, the White House said.
Pentagon spending reductions would furlough about 64,000 civilian defense employees in California, reducing pay by approximately $399.4 million. Funding for Army base operations would drop by about $54 million, while money to run Air Force operations would go down by about $15 million.
The Southern California Leadership Council has projected that in the next eight years, there would be 336,000 total defense-related jobs lost statewide due to federal budget cuts, with 136,000 lost due to sequestration. Defense reductions will also result in $21 billion in lost economic output in that time, with $7.5 billion of that from sequestration.
Brown wouldn't comment Monday on Obama's statements, but earlier this month he called all of the impending cuts a risk to the state's improved budget outlook.
"I can't discern what they are going to do in Washington because I don't even know if they know themselves," Brown said at a housing summit in Oakland.
"But the takeaway for California is that we have to maintain a proven surplus, because we could lose hundreds of millions of dollars by decisions that Congress makes."
With no impending compromise in Washington, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is staying in touch with local officials on any sequester-related action that is needed, spokesman Peter Sanders said.
Los Angeles City Administrative Officer Miguel Santana said the city could see $115 million in federal grant reductions.
Of that, $23 million is from Community Development Block Grants, which fund affordable housing, poverty and infrastructure initiatives, and $92 million in public housing funds.
Transportation funds totaling $729 million and $9 million for a variety of public safety programs may also be affected, Santana said.
Los Angeles County officials said they are facing similar issues but predict little immediate public impact.
"If sequester cuts go into effect, the overall net impact on the county is likely to be small, less than 1 percent of the $5.408 billion in federal revenue the county receives," a report from County Executive Officer Bill Fujioka says.
Most county programs funded by the federal government are exempt from the sequestration because they involve mandatory programs such as Medicaid and other low-income government assistance.
Long Beach, the county's second-largest city, could lose about $15 million annually, mostly from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, but one city official said the uncertainty in Washington makes potential impacts difficult to quantify.
In San Bernardino County, one area that the cuts could impact is providing affordable housing for low-income residents.
According to officials at the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino, sequestration would reduce its $110 million budget by $5.5 million. The agency provides housing to about 31,000 people, but it already has 35,000 families on its waiting list even without federal cuts.
"They are seniors, children," Housing Authority CEO Daniel Nackerman said of his clients. "They are often people who have jobs, often low-paying jobs. They are veterans, increasing numbers of veterans. They are people who are already suffering because of the local economy."
Paul Granillo, CEO of the business advocacy group Inland Empire Economic Partnership, was more blunt about events in Washington.
"People elect leaders, and what we're looking at here is a total lack of leadership," Granillo said.
"It is proper to say that this is stupid."
Federal sequester's local impact by the numbers136,000: Number of defense jobs statewide that would be lost. The Pentagon also would furlough about 64,000 civilian defense employees in California, reducing pay by approximately $399.4 million.
$600 million: Amount FAA would have to cut nationally. Locally, Ontario Airport could cut overnight hours and some local airports could close due to cuts to airport agencies.
1,210: Number of teacher and teacher's aide jobs at risk due to $87.6 million in potential cuts to primary and secondary schools.
8,200: Number of children statewide who would lose Head Start early education.
More cuts
-- Ontario Airport could cut overnight hours and some local airports could close because of Transportation Security Administration cuts.
-- 9,600 fewer low-income students in California would receive college financial
-- The Los Angeles Unified School District could cut $37 million
-- 336,000 statewide defense-related jobs would be lost
-- 15,810 fewer California children would receive vaccines

A quick look at how annuities can generate a steady income in retirement.
An annuity is a contract with a life insurance company. You deposit a lump sum of money, and they agree to pay you a guaranteed income for a set period of time — or for the rest of your life. Annuities are most commonly used to generate retirement income.
You can buy an annuity with money from a RRSP, a RRIF or a non-registered account.
The money is returned to you, with interest, in regular payments. You can choose to receive payments for a set number of years or for the rest of your life. You can receive monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments.
Your annuity income is calculated when you buy the annuity. It is affected by a number of factors — the most important are interest rates and how long you're expected to live.
Once you buy an annuity, you can't make any changes to it. Your regular payment amounts are locked in, and you can't change them for any reason.
A term-certain annuity gives you a guaranteed regular income for a set number of years (the term). Term-certain annuities bought with money from an RRSP or RRIF must extend to age 90. If you die before the end of the term, your payments will continue to go to your estate.
A life annuity gives you a guaranteed regular income for life. Payments usually stop when you die, and no money will go to your estate. You may choose to add an option that allows your spouse, beneficiary or estate to continue to receive your payments after your death.
Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) products
GMWB products are a type of annuity that provides guaranteed retirement income that can increase with investment gains in your portfolio and with certain bonus features. Learn more about GMWB products.
Some investment firms may also have a licensed broker on staff who can sell annuities.
Compare annuity rates
Once you buy an annuity, your regular payments are locked in. You can't change them for any reason. It's worth shopping around to compare annuity rates.
If your annuity provider goes out of business, your annuity is insured up to certain limits. The first $2,000 per month of your annuity income is insured at 100%. Amounts above this are insured at 85% if the firm is a member of Assuris.
The insurance that covers your annuity is automatic. You don't have to do anything, and you don't have to pay anything extra to get it.
You can choose to receive annuity income for life, or for a set number of years.
Once you buy an annuity, you can't get your savings out and you can't make any changes to it. Your regular payments are locked in.

text: Hi, I have a beethinking TBH that has 3 entrance holes spread out along the side of the hive. The holes are spread out in such a way that there is one directly in the middle of the hive and one on each end. I started my bees at one end with one hole open and as they spread out through the hive I opened up the middle hole but put a cork in it with a hole in the middle as an entrance reducer to help the bees defend themselves against wasps and such robbing the hive (we have had quite the hornet and wasp year here). The bees always used the end-side entrance as the main entrance and exit with a few using the middle hole. My plan was to move the entrance reducer back to the end hole for the winter and close up the middle hole completely. However the bees have completely sealed in the entrance reducer in the middle hole and have started to close up the hole as well. My question is does it really matter what hole I leave open for the bees over the winter? If i just close off the end hole and leave the middle hole open will it create a problem for the bees since that is the one they mainly use?

I live on Long Island NY and put my papers in for my permit on February 4th and haven't even been called yet for the interview to then START the 6 month waiting period....
I posted a similar thread a few months ago, thinking that the clock was ticking, but I need to stay excited...
I am very undecided as to semi-auto vs. revolver alone, much less which model.
Here are my intentions for usage to help you, help ME decide what to buy when the time comes..
I intend to buy a quality piece that will be with me for a long time. I will not hunt with it and won't go for a carry license. I don't need commando gear or macho hardware, but I do want something to be proud of. I live deep in a saltwater area and EVERYTHING rusts. Even the 3 year old SS refrigerator is starting to pit. For that alone, I am thinking of a revolver over auto (few parts, easy to clean, etc)
I intend to go to the range often enough to be proficient and enjoy becoming a better marksman.
Thanks in advance for your advice

Kate Hudson absolutely shut it down at the 2014 Oscars in Los Angeles tonight (March 2).
Wow wow wow. The 'Wish I Was Here' actress, who is presenting this evening, was pure perfection in an Atelier Versace Spring 2014 gown and Jimmy Choo 'Vibe' Sandal. Best dressed nominee hands down.
Where to begin on all the amazing things happening with this dress? The train, the woven detailing on the waist, the beading and the deep plunge are all right on point. But it's the shoulder pads and cape detail that make it pure magic.
With so much drama in the dress, she limited herself to a few delicate pieces of diamond jewelry and an art deco-inspired clutch.
The look oozed old school glamour without looking old fashioned. I'll be shocked if this isn't on every best-dressed list.

I have seen the swarm traps advertised in several catalogs over thew past few years, and I was wondering if it was worth while or not. I understand you need the lure too. I guess my questions are:
Do they work?
How long does the lure work?
Is it worth 20 bucks and shipping?
Please enlighten me!

To say I'm not wild about roller coasters is like saying Levi Johnston likes publicity—that is, a total understatement. Thus, I'm always excited when a theme park like Busch Gardens, known for its daredevil coasters, adds an attraction that won't launch me into immediate infarction.
That's not to say Kangaloom isn't exciting. We found hand-feeding kangas and wallabies to be just about the most exciting thing in the park. The new addition is the centerpiece of BG's Walkabout Way, an Australian-themed animal exhibit. It features red, gray, and albino kangaroos and Bennett's wallabies, in addition to koalas and a kookaburra.
Admission is included with tickets to the park; food for the kangas or birds costs extra. Kids five and up can enter Kangaloom.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

To take care of your children's children in a way that makes non-grandparents feel undervalued and moronic. Also, to so facetiously do your kids a favour, by simply "babysitting", but feeling like you deserve a hero cookie for it.

by steepedtea4life October 20, 2014
When as a grandparent you believe all time spent with grandchildren is needed and required instead of want to or desired by ones self. A higher level of "babysitting " your grandkids!
We will not be babysitting our grandchildren, we are "grandparenting" them to allow our adult child to go party!

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
The apartment was totally as announced and expected. Very well situated, clean, very nice decoration and perfect relation quality/price. The owner very helpful. We would highly recommend it.
The Apartment has just a perfect location, close a metro station, restaurant and grocery store. From the outside it looks a bit old however the inside looks exactly like on the pictures, really well furnished with a nice bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, terrasse, and you get all with like washing machine, etc...on top of that, the welcome of Joao - the owner is simply amazing, very kind and helpful, that helps a lot especially when you first arrive in the city ! I personally would recommend this flat to anyone that want to visit Lisbon, bravo :)
Really nice place to stay. Its only two minutes from the next metrostation away and a few seconds to the next supermarket.
The host was really friendly and answered all our questions we had about the appartment and Lisbon before our trip. He even drove ua to the airport on the last day. I would totally reccomend this appartment and this host to everyone who wants to stay in Lisbon for a few days. If i ever want to visit Lisbon again, I like to take this appartment again :-)
Joäo was a very good host and made us feel welcome. He also gave us good advice about the region and so it was easy to make acquintance with the city of Lisbon.
Nice, clean place with all modern conveniences. Little supermarket around the corner for daily groceries. Metro will take you in town centre in about 10 min, but to walk into town is nice as well. Owner Jõao was very friendly and helpful showing us around.
João was a wunderful host, very friendly and helpful. He gave us a lot of important information about any sightseeings or metro lines.
The apartment was very nice and the metro station was really near, so getting downtown or to any other destination was a breeze.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend João and his apartment!
Nice Appartment with everything you need. Its very good situated,supermarket and metro nect to the apartment. The terrace is great, tv with sat-channels. the best is that within 15 min walk you reach the busstop to the beach of caparica,its hus 161. And Joao is a very kind owner,he gave all good advices and helped us in many cases.Thanks a lot Joao, We will definately stay again in your apartment next time we visit Lisbon!!
Nous avons été très bien accueillis et renseignés par Joao Ramos. L'appartement est agréable et bien entretenu et se trouve à proximité des transports en commun.
Nous le recommandons sans hésiter.
Appartement de centre ville agréable, tout confort et décoré avec gout; cependant un peu bruyant côté rue, et sur axe de l'aéroport.
Propriétaire charmant et très arrangeant.
El apartamento esta situado en una buena zona muy tranquila y con fácil aparcamiento, a 2 minutos está el metro Roma que te lleva en muy poco tiempo al centro de la ciudad. El apartamento esta equipado con todo lo necesario para pasar unos días, muy limpio y bien cuidado.
Jôao estuvo muy amable y simpático con nosotros, nos dio información suficiente para orientarnos por la ciudad.
Recomiendo el apartamento sin dudas.

Mexico: Roots of Migration
During the debate over the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement, advocates assured the U.S. and Mexican public that the trade agreement would greatly alleviate unauthorized migration by increasing employment opportunities in Mexico and closing the gap between U.S. and Mexican wages. But the promise of cross border prosperity has been a mirage for millions of Mexicans: the value of the Mexican minimum wage dropped 20 percent in NAFTA's first decade, and the price of tortillas—Mexico's daily bread—rose more than 500 percent between 1993 and 2000. The increase in poverty has led to a drastic increase in migration, especially in the countryside.
The consequent upsurge in the number of Mexicans emigrating to the U.S. has neither been curbed by U.S. security measures nor by economic policies. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, the number of immigrants to the United States from Mexico actually decreased by 18 percent in the three years before NAFTA's implementation. But in the first eight years of NAFTA, the annual number of immigrants from Mexico increased by more than 61 percent.
Unless we reframe both the immigration and trade debates, and gain an understanding of the intricate links between economic policies, poverty, and migration patterns, policymakers will continue to put a small band-aid over the large wound.

Anyone who doubts that big media monopolies are bad for democracy should take a look at how much the Post Office charges magazines to mail issues to subscribers.
Starting next week, those rates will change in a way that punishes small, smart, independent, and down-at-the-heels publications such as the Nation (left-wing), the New Republic (centrist), and the National Review (right-wing) while favoring large, intellectually sterile, corporately owned cash cows such as People magazine.
It would be satisfying for a dedicated anti-Bush publication like the Phoenix to pin the blame for this on the cravenly anti-intellectual GOP administration. After all, it was a panel of G.W.'s appointees that was responsible for this latest travesty. And it would be equally gratifying to our generally progressive take on public affairs to point out it was lobbyists for Time Warner — not only the world's largest media conglomerate, but also (what a surprise) the owner of People — who were granted an outrageous conflict of interest that allowed them to write new postal regulations that punish small fries.
But, though these facts are true, the big picture is more complicated: since midway through the Carter administration, and continuing through the regimes of Regan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II, big business has grown even bigger and more concentrated. The past quarter century has been one of unprecedented monopolization. And the trend shows no signs of abating. Rooted in an equally unprecedented time of technological revolution, finance and industry have been globalized, spawning a corporate rapacity that has neutralized the very idea of government regulation with Darwinian efficiency.
Granted, the result to date has been an era of affluence in the United States, in most of Europe, and in huge swaths of Asia that is likewise without precedent. But, to employ a now popular term, we are at a tipping point where those forces threaten one of our most fundamental rights: freedom of the press; the freedom to communicate and to disseminate ideas that both condemn and celebrate the forces that shape our lives.
This seemingly mundane fight over postage is, indeed, that important. For more than 200 hundred years, the Post Office has served publishers more or less equally. Yes, the market may have rewarded guilty — or intellectually dubious — pleasures such as People or Cosmo with greater financial gains than publications such as the American Conservative or Foreign Affairs. But it had not punished the high-minded. Until now.
The intricacies of the Time Warner postal scam are daunting, but it boils down to this: mailed editorial content will now be billed according to how far it travels, a method that favors huge publications that use centralized shippers and can take advantage of deep postal discounts. This will not only hurt existing independent publications, it will also discourage newcomers from entering the market. In fact, under the terms of the new Time Warner plan, Time magazine founder Henry Luce might never have gotten his once fledgling magazine off the ground.
As the late Joe McCarthy or the ever-present Bill O'Reilly might say, this is positively un-American. What practical sense does it make to have a constitutional right to publish, and to read what's published, if there is no adequate means to distribute published material?

George Washington Bridge
The George Washington Bridge is a suspension bridge that connects the West side of Manhattan with New Jersey, crossing the Hudson River around 179th street. The design features a 3,500-foot-long main span and two 630-foot side spans. The GWB was designed by Othmar Ammann and opened on October 25, 1931. A lower deck was added along with redesigned approaches that were completed August 29, 1962.
The area underneath bridges is often a scene of neglect with vestiges of earlier incarnations and failed plans. The GWB is no exception. There is a completely open pathway that leads under the Henry Hudson parkway and provides unrestricted access to the wild area by the Hudson River. On the day I visited, there was a cock calmly strutting under the highway - probably an escapee from a live poultry shop or clandestine cock fighting establishment.
Under the northbound highway is a spooky ornate stairway and abandoned fountain that were probably part of the park that existed here before the bridge was built. The top of the stairway dead ends into the highway. On the day I visited there appeared to be someone on the shoulder of the highway urinating. I didn't stay to investigate further.
The Little Red Lighthouse is located under the GWB on the Manhattan side. For more information, see my Fort Washington Park page.
The GWB bus terminal was built when the lower deck was added to the bridge in 1962. The building was designed by Italian architect Pier Luigi Nervi and and opened January 13, 1963. The building is constructed of steel-reinforced concrete trusses that are cantilevered from supports in the median of the Trans-Manhattan Expressway that passes underneath the station with traffic from the bridge. It is a surprisingly well-preserved relic of dreary modernist architecture, aided in it's endurance by the fact that very few Jersey residents want to take a 30-minute bus trip and still have a 30-minute subway ride to their final Manhattan destination.
On the afternoon of May 12, 2005, a 90-foot-tall retaining wall just north of the GWB collapsed sending a torrent of rocks, dirt and trees across the Henry Hudson Parkway below. The wall was built around 1908 and supported a small private park between high-rise buildings on Cabrini Boulevard. Serendipitously, I had passed that wall a month earlier and, struck by it's age and fearsome height, took some photos of it. After the fall, I returned on Friday the 13th and the following Monday, after much of the spillage had been cleaned up and stabilized.

Hey, does anyone have a DK account they can give to me? best if it's above or around level 30, it dosnt have to have anything. My old account was hacked...
Kid, I doubt it got hacked, you probably were just stupid with your password.
"Hacking" a game to get a password is on an alltime low recently and fake websites and keyloggers are up.
146% of all people make up statistics, don't bother putting this in your profile but people really need to stop putting this type of idiocy in theirs.
It is in human capability to understand the flaw of the major design, but is it in human capability to apply the knowledge? For that matter, what is knowledge and what is concept; do we really know?
- AlexanderVB
I'm not kidding, I really got hacked, if you don't have an account, then it's sweet.
P.S DK means dark knight.
i suggest u quit this game and find a game which u have a brighter career over there.i played this before and i tell u,i got hacked too,i dont give my passwords,and most likely u may get hacked again,btw i got hacked the first time then muonline changed everyone's passwords,then a week later my blade+10 was gone and i was without everything,2nd time was i lost my dragon+7 set,so actually its quite pointless,getting hacked... i understand u are ambitious but the possibility of getting hacked in mu is like,much higher than other games.
Yeah Kise,
I suppose you are right. I'm gonna quit the game, besides, it's graphics and stuff isnt that great anyway...
Might try Gunz...
There are many hackers in Gunz,most common is the infinate hp hack.
But im not saying u cant play,maybe its more fun than counter strike cause its more fast paced,but maybe other people think cs is better.

I should make you aware that some pirated games are created into whats called bin/iso. They require a program that tricks your computer into thinking there's an install disc setting the game up. I believe Daemon tools is the one i've used recently.
You have to "mount" the game to a fake dvd/cd-drive in your computer. it's kinda funny how it works lol
Yeah I remember something about that **** wwhen cd burners first came out...

text: I just bought a 2012 Silverado yesterday. After having a 1998 Tacoma some years ago that went back on the buy-back program I went through several other cars/suv's and every day I had a reason to need a truck again. I bought a graystone metallic c/c silverado cheyenne edition. I had a chrome bull bar with lights installed, bed rails and tonneau cover put on so far. My wife gave birth to a little girl ten days ago so in between lots of baby time I have been searching for anything else to do with it!

Loved ones remember Onslow County man killed in two-truck wreck
ONSLOW COUNTY - Family and friends are sharing memories of an Onslow County grandfather killed in a two-truck wreck Wednesday.
"He loved the people, he loved the customers, he loved people coming in, talking to them," said friend Paul Bryan of 65-year-old Erwin Gene Sanders.
Sanders, of Richlands, died after his truck collided with another truck on Richlands Highway near Jacksonville Wednesday afternoon, said Trooper M.P. Jones of the Highway Patrol.
Sanders was the owner of Sanders Auto, a business that's been open since his father started it in the 1950s.
"He'd joke with you, and he treated you just like family," said Bryan, who was one of Sanders' customers.
Sanders was driving his maroon pickup truck on Richlands Highway towards Jacksonville Wednesday afternoon, said Trooper Jones. But Sanders did not see another vehicle making a right-hand turn in front of him until it was too late. He then swerved left, went into the north-bound lane, before colliding with a silver pickup, Trooper Jones explained.
The wreck happened in front of Eastern Outfitters at 4819 Richlands Highway, less than 7 miles northwest of Jacksonville. Crews got the call just after 2 p.m. Wednesday.
Sanders was airlifted to New Hanover Regional Medical Center, where he later died, said Trooper Jones.
"There are not enough words that can describe the kind of guy he was," Bryan said. "The community's going to miss him, and I'm going to miss him as a friend. He was a great guy."
Sanders was not only a successful businessman. He was a supporter of the schools, a Rotary Club member, a Vietnam veteran, and a former volunteer firefighter, said loved ones. But most importantly, he was always a good friend and family member.
"[Sanders] was the perfect brother to me," said sister Hargett Sanders. "There were five of us. Gene was by far the most personable. I'm the oldest, so I saw it all. I saw the beginning, and to the end."
"I'm very proud to have known him in this life, and he will be sorely missed," Hargett continued. "I can assure you, he's going to a greater life... a greater place."
Sanders' memorial service is scheduled to take place in the Richlands High School auditorium at 3 p.m. Sunday.
Five people were in the silver pickup that collided with Sanders' vehicle, Trooper Jones said. They were all taken to Onslow Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries and are expected to be okay.
No charges will be filed against the driver of the silver pickup, Trooper Jones added.
A helicopter landed on Richlands Highway to assist the injured. That section of the road was initially closed, but has since reopened to traffic.

Got an incubator set up and need to know the optimal temperature setting. I've seen about 92 to 95.5 F. I was thinking of setting it such that it comes on at 92 and turns off at 94.
Got an incubator set up and need to know the optimal temperature setting. I've seen about 92 to 95.5 F. I was thinking of setting it such that it comes on at 92 and turns off at 94.
The book says 92 degrees F. I set mine on 92 plus or minus 1 degree. Also place a container of water to keep the humidity right. It works good. The queens act as though they are starving when they emerge so put them with bees quickly. I also found that if you put a little honey in the bottom of the hair roller cage it will give you a little more time.
About to start a thread on this so thanks for saving me typing!

I suggest using a hatchery frame instead. Its a lot like a queen bank, but the holes are made to fit your cell cups so that they act as a plug... this way when they hatch, they get instant nutrition warmth... I use them for hatching cells for II and to ship virgins...
We just make up a queenless deep (using medium hatchery frames so that the cell stay up away from the draft of the entrance)...
From left to right: Honey frame, Pollen frame, Capped Brood frame, Hatchery frame, Capped Brood frame, Hatchery frame, Capped Brood frame, Pollen frame, Honey frame....
Each brood frame needs to have its bees of course, but I also shake about three more frames of nurses into the single and top it off with a shallow of honey and reduce the entrance with a small board to create a 1/4 length opening.
Each of my hatchery frames will hold 2 rows of 18 cells, so one of these hatchery colonies will hatch and care for upto 72 virgins...
Use them quickly... We NEVER let them sit for more than 5 days before II... when shipping virgins, we ship them no later than 3 days after hatch...
Each of our mating yards has one or more of these colonies set up and ready to use in case of emergencies, and also we take one cell from each graft and allow her to hatch in the hatchery so we can inspect her.
If you do decide to use the incubator... just try to set the temp up a tad if there is cooler draft in the room where the incubator is, and down a bit if there is hot air or sun on it... Always lay your thermometer directly on the cells so that you are getting a reading of the temp at the level where the cells will be, instead of the bottom or the top of the incubator... When adding water, use luk warm water, not cold or hot...
Good Luck and I hope this helps!
The incubator should not fluctuate as much as you said it is. But, it does take some time for it to start keeping the temp constant. When I hatch chickens I make sure the incubator is set up three days before I set the eggs. That way I can dial in the temp once I have it set it will not move up or down more than one degree. Give your incubator some time the heating elements are really small and take a while.
Johng is right... for our pheasants, peacocks, turkeys, quail, geese, and ducks, we set the incubators 3 days ahead of schedule to let them warm up... the most important thing to remember is that draft in the room with the incubators can have a big effect on the settings...
...i've been very impressed with the inhive style incubator that Rob is talking about...Ross (from this forum) has a design:
I haven't used this as i'm concerned about the virgins picking up scents from the hive making them harder to introduce. I don't know this would be an issue (and Rob, perhaps you have better insight into this).
For an incubator, we use the reptibator:
...which (I think) holds the temp tighter than some other designs.
I have a gqf cabinet incubator with wafer thermostats for tortoise eggs. It doesn't fluctuate much more than a 1/10 of a degree or so. We also get it going a couple days in advance.
Go to honeyrunapiaries.com to see the incubator and controller that I have. They are good people to do business with, and the controller works great. They were behind when I was ready to oder, so I built my own incubator and ordered the controller. It came in less than a week.
For incubators, the GQF (georgia quail farm) Hovabator (circulated air) works great, as does the Little giant version... I am partial to the GQF because they designed them first, the rest are somewhat copies.. but again, I much prefer the hatchery frames... when your queens hatch in the incubators, they will begin to lose viability within an hour or so and the possibilty of them not living to see a hive esculates greatly within a few hours...
The one deknow suggested is new to me (thanks Dean, something ELSE that I HAVE to buy ) We make our own, but I purchased some of Tim's (Honey Run Apiaries) "Queen Bank Frmes"... pretty close to the same design and they work very well for "wide-based cell cups"... So I suggest going to his site and ordering those if you use the wide-based cups... They are FAR less expensive than incubators, they are safer for the cells, they allow the queens to be fed proper nutrition immediately, and they are safely tucked away for use as you need them (but make it quick! lol).
We have never noticed any issues from scents, other than the virgins are VERY vibrant and ready to get to work... which is a good thing in my book. acceptance and introduction is pretty much up to the situation that you put the receiving nuc or hive in... I had to release over a thousand virgins directly into nucs once and ended up have NONE of them rejected... of course, they were so much "in need" of a queen that they would have probably been satisfied with "Bobby Joe, the Drag Queen" ... We try to always keep our nucs just shy of content... this keeps them working for you instead of against you...
Hope this helps!
My incubator consists of the Ranco controller (capable of a 1 degree differential) and a chest freezer. The heat source is two 60 watt light bulbs with a fan to circulate the air while the lights are on. I tested it to hatch out a frame of brood and worked well - hopefully that experiment translates well to queens cells. Based upon your feedback, I'll tighten my temp differential to the 1 degree minimum. I find this chest freezer as a valuable resource: honey warmer, freezer to kill moths/shb, and now (hopefully) a queen incubator. Best of all the freezer was free!
Here's a link to the controller:
72 virgins...
I must be getting old...I completely missed that on the first read. All this while I thought that you were just mild-mannered queen breeder....now I know different - beware, we're watching you.
...if one is to believe the marketing material for the reptibator, it appears that the heating element is "pulsed" rather than "on or off"...the element therefore doesn't get as hot as an element that is "on" would get. i haven't done any side by side comparisons, so i have no data of my own....except that i used this last year to good effect...and i think i had it set at 94.
we essentially followed dee lusby's method of having the queens emerge into glass vials. this works fine, but they gunk up the inside of the vial pretty quickly and start to get stuck.
as the queens emerged (and dropped to the bottom of the vial), i pinch the empty cell flat and put a small drop of honey on the flat. i jam the flattened cell back into the opening of the vial (leaving enough space for air) and lay the vial on its side...the queen will mount on the flattened cell and eat the honey.
this all worked quite well last year, so i'm likely to keep this as our core method...but interested in trying the in hive incubator as well and comparing results.
We just stole the workings out of a cheap styrofoam incubator from a local farm store and mounted it in on a drip pan under a hive body that we lined with foam insulation (1/4") on the ends. We bought an indoor outdoor thermometer that shows highs and lows (10 dollars well spent) and thoroughly tested it before putting it in service. works great, hold temps within 1 degree and can hold 500+ cells. We do use it in a room temperature area though. Not sure it has enough wattage in an unheated area if the temp got very low. On a side note, though, I think it is quite important to keep an open container of water inside.

Bread baking?
Did someone say bread baking?
This is what I've been toasting to have with my tea in the morning. It's fast,
easy to make, and tastes great.
Oatmeal Molasses Bread from bakingsheet.blogspot.com
Oatmeal Molasses Batter Bread
2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110F)
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled/quick cooking oats
3 tbsp molasses
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp salt
Combine all ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and, using the regular
paddle attachment, beat at low speed until combined. Then, continue mixing
for about 4 minutes.
Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan and spread dough into it. Cover with a piece of
plastic wrap and let the dough rise until it reaches the top of the pan, about
1 1/2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Bake for 35 minutes, until well browned and, hollow-sounding when tapped.
Turn out of pan and cool almost completely on a wire rack before slicing into
thick slices with a serrated knife.
Makes one loaf.
If you have a strong mixer it will be somewhat like kneaded dough, but still
nearly pourable. I have one of those over the stove microwaves with a light
that shines down on the stovetop. If I turn on the light the inside of the
microwave warms up perfectly for getting bread to rise.

Binghamton University international program among tops in country
For the second time in four years, international programs at Binghamton University are being praised in a national report for their efforts to integrate global approaches to learning.
In a report, "Internationalizing the Campus 2004: Profiles of Success at Colleges and University," to released this fall, NAFSA: Association of International Educators will recognize Binghamton University as one of five educational institutions where an international perspective permeates the institutional culture.
The annual report, first published last year, profiles a diverse group of colleges and universities that have integrated global approaches to teaching into all aspects of campus learning, through study abroad programs, faculty and scholar exchanges, new curricula, community outreach and other efforts. The four other institutions recognized with the award are Bellevue Community College in Washington, Duke University, St. Norbert College in Wisconsin and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Binghamton University was selected for this recognition by an advisory committee of international educators, who examined the mission, breadth, commitment and impact of the internationalization efforts at colleges and universities across the country.
In 2000, Binghamton was similarly recognized in a report by the American Council on Education, which designated the University as one of eight institutions nationally with "Promising Practices in Comprehensive Internationalization."
Binghamton University attributes its successes in international education to recent curricular development in languages, area studies, global studies, the arts and sciences, and the professional schools, which provide many avenues for students to prepare themselves for leadership in a global society.
Programs that are particularly successful include Languages Across the Curriculum, which provides students with the opportunity to apply their non-English language skills to courses outside language departments; and English Conversation Pairs, which provides informal opportunities for non-native English speakers to practice the language with native speakers. In addition, the University's annual International Student Festival is a highly attended event. The University has also seen as 45 percent increase in its international enrollment, going from 803 students in 1999 to 1,165 students in fall 2003.

New to beekeeping and looking to experiment with making queens.
Here is the method I propose to use. I would appreciate any feedback from all of you experienced folk. I installed packages in mid April.
I have 2 hives one very strong (A) and the other doing well but not as good (B) . I propose to use this queen (A) to mate from and then use the colony (A) to rear the queen cells after I graft them. I would take the good queen (A) and make a 5 frame nuc with two frames of brood from the strong hive (A) and one from the weak hive (B) (with bees brushed off) and have a nuc feeder on top. I propose to allow the strong hive (A) to keep one of the queen cells and then make some other nucs with the other queens. Just trying to learn as i go along!
Also is it allowed to share queens (ie do you have to have a license to give queens away or sell them?)
