Kendall & Kylie Exclusive Interview
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Minnesota.
What was your favorite class in high school?
I really liked all my classes. I was a good student I had a 4.0!
Vacation Like A Star!
Did you have any after-school or summer jobs?
My first job was as a cashier at Menards, which is a store similar to Home Depot. Then, I was a Red Bull girl. It was my job to drive around in the Red Bull truck and hand out Red Bulls!
What was the worst popular trend when you were in high school?
Everyone at my school was collecting Beanie Babies. I had about 50 of them, and then they became uncool. I didn't know what to do with my room full of Beanie Babies!
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I thought I was going to be a pilot, a piano player, an artist, or a Spanish teacher.
What was the craziest thing you did to get a guy to notice you?
I took a typing class because a guy I liked was in it. Then I asked one of my friends who knew him better what I should say to make him laugh. We never ended up dating, but I can still type really fast thanks to that class!
What was your style like when you were 17 and what is it like now?
When I was 17, I loved Abercrombie & Fitch! I loved jeans, but I hated wearing jewelry.
Now, my favorite brand is American Rag. I love wearing skirts and tights, cowgirl boots or flip-flops, and I love jewelry. My favorite accessory that I own is a silver necklace in the shape of Tennessee.
What was your clique like in high school? What about now?
I was a good girl, but I liked to go to parties too. I played year-round sports and percussion in the band. At school, I was in the AP classes and the drama classes. I also liked to go to 16+ dance clubs a lot!
Now, I live in Nashville and fly to New York City three days a week to host 10 On Top. In Nashville, all my friends are in bands, so I'd say I'm into the music scene there.
What were your hobbies when you were 17? Have they changed?
In high school, I liked piano, ice-hockey, drawing, and acting. I was also on the swim team and the track & field team.
Now, I like guitar, jogging, riding scooters, and making sugar cookies.
What rumors were being spread about you in high school? Are there any rumors you have to deal with now?
I didn't have a lot of drama in high school and my life is still pretty drama free now!

Capitol Tour Web Exhibit
Oregon's present Capitol has its origins in two fires. On December 30, 1855, fire swept through a newly occupied Statehouse, completely destroying the structure. The Holman Building, in the business section of Salem, served as a temporary Capitol from 1859 until another one was completed in 1876. On April 25, 1935, fire again destroyed the elegant Statehouse patterned after the U.S. Capitol.

A Simple Question For Mandarin Opponents
Original post made by Outsider, another community, on Jan 11, 2007
Why are you not also advocating elimination of the Spanish immersion program as well?
Because it seems to me that all the reasons you put up for opposing Mandarin would equally apply to the Spanish program.
Just one thing: Please don't say "because the Spanish program already exists, we can't eliminate it now." That's just a cop-out in my book.
I look forward to your responses.

I have consistently called for the elimination of SI. It was SI that set up the slippery slope for more language immersion programs that take over neighborhood schools. I also support the elimination of other 'choice' schools (back-to-basics, connections).
Choice programs should be put in charter schools.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jan 11, 2007 at 12:04 pm
I have consistently called for more accountability for SI, all the same accountability that we requested for MI. For example, there is no reporting on the success rate of original entering kindergartners for SI, there is not 'cost neutrality' reportin for SI, etc.
I think that once a choice program is established it becomes an 'entitlement' to exist into perpituity is one of the precise reasons that the community is very opposed to setting up more choice programs - complete lack of flexibility, complete lack of ability of the district to manage that much more of its curriculum, its sites, its cost tradeoffs, etc., in the future. I think the fact that SI has been so teflon is a VERY good reason to oppose MI, in and of itself.
Plus the fact is that SI was set up in an environment where there was excess capacity, in fact to solve an underenrollment problem in some schools, and it did not AT THE TIME require the displacement of neighborhood schools, or the displacement of other already established choice programs, which is no longer the circumstand under which MI comes to us for consideration. Nevertheless, this AGAIN points to the fact that there was not enough long term thought given to the issue of capacity, displacement, over enrollment, that we see today. Again, supportive of the fact of EXTREME CAUTION in setting up more choice programs of any kind.
In fact I WOULD support a re-evaluation of SI and of all the other choice programs under today's circumstances.
Having said that, I think its also quite predictable (it was predicted many times on these threads) that the proponents of MI were using and would resort to the argument "if they get it, then I should get it". As if two wrongs make a right. I think its ironic that the SI folks were called in to action to support MI, and MI also turned to Ohlone in the 11th hour for support.
And its taken all of about 24 hours for MI supporters to turn on them. Shame on SI and Ohlone for not having a little more forthought on a whole bunch of issues.

Pretty much what Observer said. The issues facing the district now are very different than the ones facing it when SI and the other programs were set up.
I'm not for eliminating the choice programs--I'm for making them more available if anything. Ohlone has its own waitlist, so do Hoover and SI. SI, as the smallest program, I think creates real equity problems. It's just about impossible to get into for non-sibs and non-Spanish speakers. When you add the current neighborhood school displacement that's been happening--well, the resentment of the choice programs is understandable.
a resident of Palo Verde
on Jan 11, 2007 at 2:42 pm
Speaking purely from the point of view that Palo Verde School has a big problem with over enrollment in this area, I would be very happy to see Ohlone return to a neighborhood school and serve the neighborhood children. Palo Verde has the largest number of elementary age children in the district and since many of them are spread around in Ohlone, Hoover and SI, it helps us out. However, if they were all expected to attend Palo Verde, we would be the biggest school. As it is, we have one of the smallest sites and so that would be impossible. With the new residential homes being built on Meadow and proposed for Bayshore/Loma Verde, our numbers are going to expand. What we need is the Ohlone site to become a second neighborhood school and that will house our own neighborhood children. I know it isn't going to happen, but it would be the solution.
The real problem goes back to why the District closed, sold and allowed the old school sites to be built on. Now if the Board back then had been forward looking, maybe we would be in a position now to house all the "choice" programs being demanded. But then I am sure that there would still be scope for discussion on that one.

Word on the playground when I was applying for Ohlone is that Ohlone did give some (not total) preference to kids in its neighborhood. We were in the PV area at the time and we did get in on the first draw, though I had neighbors who did not.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Jan 11, 2007 at 4:54 pm
I think the worst enrollment crunch, though, was in the north PA schools.
If Garland reopened, I'd guess that it would grab a portion of the Duveneck and Walter Hays districts and maybe some of Palo Verde?
It sounds as if the board is keeping the option of expanding Ohlone--it would then do what it did with the second strand of SI and give priority (I'm guessing) to overenrolled schools. It would make sense since Ohlone gets more lottery applicants than either Escondido or Hoover.

It's interesting that in the MI feasibility study the only immersion program that didn't require additional fund raising or grants was SI. All the MI programs visited, even those that stated they were cost neutral, either had additional grants, mandatory "donations" or additional fund raising to be "cost neutral".
From the report: Web Link
Woodstock Elementary School
Starr King Elementary School
They will receive some funding from a District-wide Foreign Language Assistance Program (FLAP) grant funded this year.
West Portal Elementary School
They will receive some funding from a District-wide FLAP grant funded this year.
Alice Fong Yu Alternative School
They will receive some new funding from a District-wide FLAP grant funded this year.
El Marino Elementary School
A parent group raises $250,000 a year, which is used for classroom aides.
Cupertino Language Immersion Program (CLIP)
CLIP has a foundation that raises funds for the program. Also, parents are asked to contribute $400/per child or do mandatory volunteer work for the school. Cupertino is just finishing a three-year FLAP grant which was used to fund a 50% resource teacher for the program.
Spanish Immersion, Escondido Elementary School
During the initial years, the parent group raised funds for materials and library books, but that is no longer needed.
I wonder how SI manages to be so efficient...

Let's see, exactly ONE person ("Al") has written in to say he opposes the Spanish program as well - congratulations Al, you earn my respect.
As for the rest of you, perhaps it's time to look into the mirror - or better yet take a deep breath, as I do believe there is the strong smell of hypocrisy (with a hint of something else) waifing throughout "Perfect Palo Alto" today.

I oppose SI and MI and alternative schools (Ohlone, Hoover), because I think our model should be a simple neighborhood model. I also oppose the 20 kids/class maximum, because it is not proven to increase educational test scores (as I understand), and it is very expensive.
Having said this, I am NOT against choice programs. I support foreign language aquisition. I would support science immersion, too.
I just think that such programs should be done via a charter school system or a voucher system. Private schools are free to form to meet the demand, and some already exist.
Too much has been demanded of our public schools in Palo Alto. Keep it simple, and keep it focused on basic educational goals.

Hmmm, which is more hypocritical? Supporting extant choice programs but not new ones given the current issues facing the district?
Or opposing all choice programs because you didn't get yours?

How did I get under this bridge?
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jan 12, 2007 at 2:03 pm
It wasn't the MI supporters who raised all the arguments against choice programs. I think this is a legitimate question given the strong feelings expressed by PA residents, including the inherent unfairness of a lottery which benefits a select few and the importance of neighborhood schools.
If you feel threatened you should, but not by MI supporters who will hope to have a chance again in the future when things are more settled, but by the residents who have argued neighborhood and fairness. Now that you've won the lottery and gotten into Ohlone you've got it made. What about those families that weren't so lucky (the former neighbors who lost that you spoke about in another post) and now have to send their kids across town to someone else's neighborhood school because their's is too crowded? As space gets tighter here in PA, parents will step up the pressure to squeeze out choice and bring back their neighborhood school. Better to prepare for reality than to pin your hopes on your false accusations.

Parent Too,
Threatened? Why? It's vaguely possible that the Ohlone program could get transferred to the Garland site, but eradicate the most popular and largest choice program in Palo Alto? It's not going to happen.
I am for making the choice programs more available--the lack of spots in the SI program is a real problem, I think. I think another *small* choice program would create resentment at this time. Well, obviously, it did. Ohlone has the space and demand to expand, though there are serious and legitimate concerns about the traffic.
I don't like the us v. them division the debate over MI has created or exacerbated. I think what matters is finding a balance that works *at a given time*. Thus, I'd like to see summer immersion programs available combined with some school-year second-language instruction. That would make second-language instruction available *now* and, probably, make it clear what sort of second-language demands there really are in the district.
a resident of Old Palo Alto

Mandarin immersion is a good plan, but it may not be feasible at the current time. There are simply too many programs that the district needs to offer. As a Palo Alto student, I think the schools should be more concerned about creating better core programs, or a Gifted and Talented Program that actually helps gifted kids. Here's an interesting article about the MI issue: Web Link
a resident of Green Acres
on Jan 19, 2007 at 11:17 pm
You should read some of the previous discussions. Many of the "opponents" of MI aren't opposed to having an MI program in Palo Alto ever, we were opposed to bringing one in now, on the timetable proposed, under the current conditions of the district. Many of us would like to see MI for Palo Alto, and wonder if MI advocates are really in this to bring the program to the district for the long-term or just wanted the program for their kids now and aren't going to bother if it requires a longer commitment or requires being involved in strategic planning so that MI can be more appropriately worked into district priorities.
In my book, the way you phrased your question was the cop-out. Why should anyone opposed to adding a new lottery program now want to spend time dismantling SI? Opposing a program that doesn't yet exist and has significant facilities needs at a time when we are in a serious discussion over facilities district-wide makes sense. Taking additional resources and energy to get rid of a program that already exists — and which existing students in our district are in the middle of and would suffer from the cessation of -- makes little sense.
Language instruction should have been established for all elementary students well before SI was started, I think not doing that was a mistake. One could argue that the specialized language program for a few syphoned resources from the effort for the rest of the district. I am one of many parents who favors offering foreign language instruction to all students districtwide before adding any more immersion programs. There is such a thing as learning from past mistakes.
Someone else pointed out that we could be offering summer immersion programs without the kind of facilities crises adding MI now would create-- and would then have the flexibility of offering immersion in many languages without the conflicts inherent in the current MI proposal.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Perched Atop Kauai's Cliffs
The Cliffs at Princeville • Kauai, HI
Escape Kit
- A Seven-Night Stay for Up to Four Guests in a One-Bedroom Suite
- Welcome Gift
With its emerald fairways, fragrant hibiscus flowers, and fern-carpeted canyons, it's no wonder that Kauai is also known as Hawaii's "Garden Island." And it's consistently part of Travel + Leisure's roundup of the World's Best Islands.
A 22-acre property perched atop a high bluff overlooking the Pacific, The Cliffs at Princeville offers private condominium suites in a resort-style setting (with tennis courts, a pool, and more). After a $5 million renovation in 2011, each spacious one-bedroom suite offers Polynesian furnishings, hardwood floors, a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, two full baths, two private lanais (porches), a separate living room, and a master bedroom.
"It was nicely appointed and had every detail taken care of—beach chairs, plenty of beach towels, cooler, coffee and filters, etc.," a past guest posted on TripAdvisor. "We loved the North Shore, and found this location convenient to Hanalei and the Princeville Center, with a grocery, restaurant, and shops."
Just down the road at Anini Beach, you'll have more than three miles of sand to spread out your towels. Or, make your way north to Hanalei Bay (one of the premier beaches in Hawaii), featuring a long stretch of powder-soft beach and four different parks perfect for picnicking and swimming. Better still, when you check with the concierge upon check-in, you can get up to ten percent off any and all activities at the resort.
A perennially popular activity on this grassy isle is golf, and you'll discover two courses designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. on Kauai's North Shore. Customize your game with five different tees offered at each hole of the Prince Golf Course, or choose from among three nine-hole courses at the Makai Golf Course.
After a long day on the links or at the beach, talk to the concierge desk about arranging a massage featuring fresh island botanicals.
"Soft tropical air, sunrise bird song, essences of ginger and plumeria, sparkling waterfalls—Kauai, 90 miles from Oahu, is an island paradise and the oldest in the Hawaiian chain."-- Frommer's

Patch Management
If you guys don't mind, I was wondering if people could share there advice and their experience on patch management. How often they patch their systems, every day, week, quarter, etc? What tools they use and their experiences with those tools? Whether they concentrate on critical patches instead installing all patches?
Thanks in advance.

This has probably been answered before but I could not find it. Sorry if it's a repeat.
I believe I'm running a little late, but I'm about to extract some honey (for the first time) if you all think it will be ok. I'm just north of San Antonio Texas and it's still in the 60's-70's.
Hopefully my terminology is correct. I have a medium super over two deep hive bodies. I DO have an excluder under the top super and there is NO brood up there. I want to harvest the super. My questions are : is it too late in the year to harvest honey? And what would I do with the frames that I extract from? Can they just go back on top and let them clean it and do as they wish? Do I need to leave it off since they are about to winterize themselves?
Any guidence would be greately appreciated.
Thanks in advance !

MTConnect in Perspective
Dave Edstrom, president and chairman of the board for the MTConnect Institute, has written a book about MTConnect, a communication protocol for manufacturing equipment and devices. It's a readable, personal account of how (and why) the standard came to be, as well as an understandable introduction to the technology behind it.
"MTConnect: To Measure Is To Know," is a new book by Dave Edstrom. Dave is CEO/CTO of Virtual Photons Electrons and president/board chair of the MTConnect Institute. The book is all about MTConnect, an open-source, royalty-free communications standard intended to foster greater communication and connectivity between manufacturing equipment and devices. The author's goal is clearly to promote the standard and the substantial benefits he believes it has for manufacturers, especially those in the United States. Dave has been in the computer industry for more than 34 years and deeply involved in manufacturing for the past seven.
The book looks at this standard from two perspectives. The first part of the book is mostly Dave's personal account of how (and why) MTConnect was first proposed and then aggressively developed under the main sponsorship of AMT—The Association For Manufacturing Technology. This section is a readable mix of the standard's historical origins as Dave witnessed them and his reflections on the nature of the larger digital technology surrounding it. This treatment puts MTConnect in its conceptual framework and context.
The second part of the book builds on that background to explain the inner workings of the standard and the open system principles underlying them. This part is more technical, but is written for readers who are not Information Technology specialists (although they will benefit from Dave's clarity). The explanations are designed to encourage machine shop owners and managers of manufacturing plants to adopt MTConnect-enabled equipment and applications by helping them understand the basics. Dave's message about machine monitoring is especially timely and urgent.
At points, Dave rambles a bit, is gushy with his enthusiasm and lapses into name-dropping, yet none of these minor defects detract from the overall readability of this valuable book on an important development in manufacturing technology.
The book is available on Amazon or find out more here.

Aone-off 'Bolt Gold' Nissan GT-R has sold to an Aussie in a worldwide online charity auction.
Proceeds from the auction, which took place on eBay, will be donated to the Usain Bolt Foundation, which helps create education opportunities for children in the sprinter's home country of Jamaica. Competition for the GT-R was expectedly fierce, with the car raising an impressive US$187,100 ($221,100), with sales of Bolt merchandise and Nissan motorsport gear like helmets and race suits raising thousands more.
The new owner said: "The Nissan GT-R just gets better and better and more refined each year, and the fact that this gold GT-R also celebrates the incredible achievements of the great Usain Bolt makes it something very special indeed."
The buyer wanted to remain anonymous. It will, however, be difficult to maintain this low-key approach when the one of a kind car arrives next year.

The World Science Festival gives kids a chance to get hands-on experience with science. The annual festival, which was held in New York City during the first week of June, began in 2008. This year's event featured nine workshops that allowed kids to interact with scientists and learn more about what they do. TFK Kid Contributor Paloma Kluger attended three workshops: Oceanographer's Apprentice, Roboticist's Apprentice, and Food Scientist's Apprentice.
Under the Sea
Before the Oceanographer's Apprentice workshop, TFK talked to Dr. Kate Stafford, an oceanographer at the University of Washington. She explained her job: "Oceanographers study many different things about the ocean, including the physical currents, the chemistry, and the geology of the ground beneath the ocean," Dr. Stafford told TFK.
It's pitch black deep down in ocean waters. A technique called echolocation helps the animals use sound to "see" in the dark. The Oceanography workshop included an echolocation game. We also listened to recordings of different creatures in the Arctic Ocean. Finally, we made sea-creature sounds by blowing up balloons and letting the air out while squeezing or stretching the opening.
Meet the Robots
The Roboticist's Apprentice Workshop featured Dr. Edward Olsen, a professor of robotics at the University of Michigan. He programs robots and gives them sensors so they can perform their jobs and missions, like search and rescue operations. Some can walk and some can move on wheels. It can take a long time to get the programming right. "If a robot runs into something, you know you've got more work to do," Dr. Olsen said.
Teams of two got a small, toy-sized robot with wheels. Our job was to program it, first by waving it over a black line on a poster board, so its sensor would learn to recognize black and white. Next, we raced their robots along the black line, adjusting its switches to control its speed and sharpness on turns. The winning team's time was 19 seconds.
Finally…All About Food
The last workshop was the Food Scientist's apprentice workshop, led by Dr. Amanda Kinchla, a food scientist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Dr. Kinchla is currently studying new and safer ways to wash vegetables, especially leafy greens like spinach. Different farmers use different methods to clean their vegetables. Some use something like a bathtub of water, others use big washing contraptions. "I am currently studying different farms in Massachusetts," Dr. Kinchla said. "We want to make vegetables safer for consumers."
Dr. Kinchla's workshop included two educational food experiments and a taste-test of two drink samples, one red and the other blue. We rated the drinks on a scale of 1 to 9 for sweetness, fruitiness, and sourness. Most ranked the two drinks differently. In fact, their only difference was color. Would you have guessed that the appearance of a drink influences how you taste it? For scientists, such insights are all in a day's work.

Lost my job a few years ago and had to sell my 2000 Silverado for a very low price , small town I was living in Tennessee was hit hard by the recession . It was Indigo Blue Ext.Cab 5.3 with only 68k and was going to start fixing it up with cold air intake, exhaust and performance upgrades . Moved down here to Bama close to my sister and found work and put alot of miles on my 04 Monte Carlo SS, good car but always missed having a truck. Few weeks ago traded it in for a 2012 black Silverado W/T with LS chrome, 4.8 ,trailer pkg and happy to be up and truckin' again. Now all I need is stuff to haul like a ATV, along with a Toy Hauler Camper maybe a Bass Boat..........:money:

Date: 3/12/2013
Main Campus - Black Hawk Hall Room 241
In recognition of Black History Month and as the first program of Hawkeye Community College's Muslim Journeys series, please join us for a screening of the documentary, Prince Among Slaves. Admission is free of charge and open to the public. RSVP is not required, but recommend. RSVP on Facebook.
Prince among Slaves follows the extraordinary life of Abdul Rahman Ibrahima Soria prince of the West African kingdom of Fouta Djallon. Educated in Timbuktu and given military command by his father, Abdul Rahman was ambushed and captured in 1788 and sold into slavery. In the United States, Abdul Rahman bought by a cotton planter in the frontier town of Natchez, Mississippi. For the next 40 years of his life, this prince of West Africa would be held as a slave and known as Prince Foster. At the end of his life, Abdul Rahman and his wife, Lucy, were allowed to travel to West Africa, but forced to leave behind their still enslaved children and grandchildren.
Abdul Rahman's life highlights the brutality of slavery in the United States as well as its complexities. It also shows the unexpected connections between West Africa, the United States, and the Islamic world. Please join us for the screening of the fascinating film and a short discussion afterwards.
This film screening is the inaugural event of Hawkeye Community College's Muslim Journeys series, made possible through a grant awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association. For more details, please call Candace Havely, Library Director, at 319-296-4229.

text: Roughly speaking, please correct me if I'm wrong. Jerry doesn't like dead money. This, for no other reason, Jason gets a long enough leash to wrap around Cowboys Stadium. OK Jason was paid $3.5 mil in 2010 as an assistant, so for sure he got at least a little raise up to $4 million as head coach last season when he signed his contract, if not more. Even if his contract in 2013 and 2014 only calls for around $4.5 mil per, and he makes 2 million the remainder of 2012, then that's 11 million out of pocket for Jerry to fire him right now. I bet it's a good bit more, considering Jerry's generosity. From what I read, most if not all NFL head coaching contracts are guaranteed. I guess it is possible for a first-time coach to have a buyout in there, but even so Jerry would have to fork over close to the minimum $ above, don't you think? Wade Phillips only had 1.5 years left on his contract at an estimated $3 mil per. And even that $4.5-5 million he was owed when he was fired got cut down at least a million when Wade was hired by Houston - money the Cowboys didn't have to pay him because it was subtracted from the Texans' contract with him. I'm not sure Jason will command $1 million as an assistant anywhere else if we fire him. Conclusion: get used to Jason.

Martin Sixsmith continues his history of Russia, from the tumultuous events of 1917 to the country's re-emergence as one of the world's most powerful nations.
After the whirlwind of the revolution, the Bolsheviks struggled to consolidate their victory. To rescue the economy and save the regime, Lenin made concessions to the people. But after his death, Stalin introduced forced collectivisation and industrialisation, condemning the Soviet people to conditions worse than those experienced under the Tsars. Nikita Khrushchev reversed the worst excesses of Stalinism, and in 1985 Mikhail Gorbachev embarked on radical reforms of the communist system - unleashing unforeseen consequences that swept him from power and destroyed the USSR.
Martin Sixsmith brings his firsthand experience of reporting from Russia in the 1980s and '90s to his narrative, witnessing the critical moment when the Soviet Union lost its grip on power. He asks if the recurring patterns of Russian history can help us understand what has happened since 1991, when the promise of Western-style democracy aroused so many hopes for change.
Eyewitness accounts, archive recordings and personal testimony enrich his narrative, as well as readings from Russian authors and historians such as Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Vasily Grossman, plus music by Stravinsky, Prokofiev and others.
Listen to Russia: Part One: From Rulers to Revolutions.
©2011 Ladbroke Productions (Radio) Ltd. Text copyright Martin Sixsmith (P)2011 AudioGO Ltd
"It started well..."
Astonishing to listen to a series begin as a fascinating insight into Russian history, only to descend into a vituperative anti-socialist diatribe that would not have been out of place in the Thatcher era.
"Re-Broadcast of a BBC's "Russia: The Wild East""
There is an astonishing lack of proportion and emphasis. The communist regime killed millions of peasants. The prison system established by the communists was a source of slave labor as well as a means of suppressing dissent. The Russians dealt with minorities in a particularly bloody and brutal manner. While each of these topics is covered, it is hasty. Instead, Martin Sixsmith spends an inordinate amount of time on covering the day-to-day minutia of the USSR's downfall and his coverage of it for the BBC.
I have read his Putin's Oil which is a superior work.
This is a rebroadcast of BBC's "Russia: The Wild East, Part 2" presented in 25 episodes. Although Sixsmith is the primary narrator, there are interviews, clips from news accounts, tape recorded speeches of historical figures, quotes from poems, choirs singing in the background, etc. In many respects the historical characters speak for themselves.
There is far too much turf to cover for this to be made into a movie.
Martin Sixsmith is a BBC journalist who served in the USSR, Poland, and Washington. He was Tony Blair's Director of Communications and has written both fiction and non-fiction books. I would recommend this audiobook for someone who wants a general overview of the events of the past century. However, it does not come close to describing the full magnitude of atrocities perpetrated by the Soviet regime.
"Very Interesting!"
I liked this audiobook very much specially because of the "practical" approach the author gives to the Russian History. He and his personal experience as a journalist in Russia during the late 20th century make it specially interesting.
I've listened to other audiobooks on Russian History, including Stalin's biography and I couldn't keep focused as on this one.
I really enjoyed this audiobook and so far, three weeks after buying it, I've heard it more than twice
"Russia, by Martin Sixsmith (Parts 1 and 2)"
I would definitely recommend this audiobook to anyone, whether they know Russian history very well, or not at all. It is more than a mere audiobook; it's a BBC radio series. Sixsmith makes us feel that we are there with him in the various historical spots, and there is wonderful Russian classical and folk music to accompany us on our journey!
This is a very tough question, because so many characters in Russian history are colorful and amazing -- think of St Vladimir, Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, Rasputin, Lenin and Stalin, Krushchev, Gorbachev -- how could anyone possibly select a favorite? I choose the marvelous panorama of them all!
He knows how to pronounce Russian correctly, he has a wonderful personality, and he made me feel that I was there to witness each event. He must have been collecting Russian music all his life. I wish I had it all on CDs.
Yes --his relating of the horrors of the Stalinist regime, especially that after Russia won World War II, losing millions of soldiers, all the ones who had ever been in any other country, such as Germany, were put into prison when they got home -- or shot to death, because they had witnessed a higher standard of living.
Don't miss this marvelous performance!
"A man who knows his history."
I would. It has some parts of Soviet history I didn't know about until now.
I can't think of anything to compare it to.
He didn't perform them, but his interviews are impressive.
Wintnes to History.
"Much I remember but didn't understand at the time"
Dynamic survey of Soviet history from the revolution up through Putin
Story-teller really knew his stuff -- knew the people, the places,a nd the context of the things he describes
Growing up during the cold war, there were many things we didn't know at the time, that have only been revealed with the release of Soviet archives. Similarly, there were a lot things that happened in the post-Gorbachev era that I remember when the happened, but didn't have a great understanding of what they meant. This book rectified all that.
"They have what they deserve"
Yes I would. This part was very interesting, I learned a great deal.
Narrator, he was great. Lived through this and he was very engaing.
no, I knew what was comming. I lived through this.
It made me want to visit Saint Petersburg more than ever.
"Very entertaining and thorough"
This is a very well produced audio program that draws you in and makes it very easy to lose track of time.

I'm writing this on the train back from Newcastle after attending this years Maker Faire. I've attended each Newcastle Maker Faire and it's been fantastic witnessing it grow each year. Many of the groups displaying their projects are veterans of previous Faires and it's inspiring seeing their projects develop from one year to the next. A growing faire means new groups and although some themes are repeated many groups have truly unique projects.
As last year I've put together a short video capturing some of the activity at this maker faire. It's difficult capturing more than a sliver of what makes this event great so I encourage you to click through to the project websites. I'll link to as many as I can below the video over the next few days but for the moment would encourage you to visit the official website.
I can't find a link for the roving wheelie bins but more information on the fire breathing dragon is available here.
I can't find a link for the first robot. The second robot was from mbed. The third robot was part of a very large exhibit but again I'm struggling to find a link. The fourth scene of robots were from robochallenge. The final ground based bot was from robosavvy.
The underwater bot was from underwater rov. The aerial photography using a model plane was done by Simon Clark. The rocketry was from Black Streak.
It was difficult keeping track of all the 3D printers so I'll just highlight two focusing specifically on 3D printers - bodgeitquick and emakershop.
The first automata was from Richard Broderick, the second from Philip Lowndes and I'm unsure about the third though I suspect Richard again.
The DIYBio presence was organised by Cathal Garvey and Brian Degger.
The standing wave flame tube was from Steve Mould. The wind up music disc was from the North of England Arduino Group organised by Mike Cook. I'm not sure who was responsible for the heart beat light sculpture. The interactive light table was built by Oli and the digital grafetti wall was built by the Jam Jar Collective and the musical tesla coils were from Brightarcs.
I went down to Newcastle today for the Maker Faire which is being run as part of the Newcastle Science Fest'10. I went down to participate last year and have been looking forward to this years event since. The Maker Faire isn't a full on technical meetup; there is a lot of emphasis on family fun style activities. Having said that though there is plenty of people working on some really interesting things. Below I've included a video highlighting some of what caught my eye. I'm heading down again next weekend for the BarCampNorthEast3 event. Again, I attended this event last year and had a fantastic time. As I'm writing this there are still 28 tickets available so if you're in or can get to Newcastle do check it out. In addition to the exhibitors in the video there are also several I would particularly like to highlight but couldn't include in the video principally due to my poor photography skills

There's nothing quite like a large fruit bowl bulging with beautiful, luscious stonefruit at this time of year. We were lucky enough as children to have a rambling country garden full of old fruit trees. Old-fashioned plums, peaches of all varieties, cherries and nectarines were all treasured. I remember sitting under the plum tree as a child, gorging on the fallen fruit, then climbing high into the tree and stretching out along a wobbly branch just to smell and pick the freshest and juiciest pieces of fruit.
Perched high above the ground we would then hurl the plums deemed rotten or bruised over the fence to the farm pig, much to his delight and Mum's dismay; they would have stewed up beautifully.
Indeed, it was all hands on deck in the kitchen as boxes and boxes of summer fruit were peeled, stewed, bottled and stored in colourful rows in the back pantry ready to be turned into yummy crumbles through the winter months.
Summer stonefruit are not only delicious straight off the tree, they play a leading role in many desserts, and work well with meat and poultry dishes. For the simplest of sweets, halve and grill with a bit of brown sugar and liquor. And, of course, there's nothing more delicious at breakfast than some lightly stewed fruit with your favorite cereal and yoghurt.
When it comes to preparation, peel your fruit only if necessary. The skin adds flavour, texture and looks fabulous in desserts. If you must peel, do so just prior to using, and squeeze with a bit of lemon if it's going to sit to avoid discolouring.
Today, we take the humble roast chicken and give it a twist with Asian flavours and juicy peaches.
There is an almond and ricotta tart - delicious in thin slices for afternoon tea or with vanilla icecream for dessert.
Finally, there is a family favourite - plum jam. When I told my mother I was planning to make this, she was thrilled and raced off immediately to raid a neighbour's damson plum tree. This variety truly makes the best jam - rich, deep in colour and with a bit of lemon for a little tartness. Scrummy on toast, scones, brioche or a bakewell tart. Plus, there is enough to store away for winter.
• Asian roast chicken with spiced peaches
• Apricot and ricotta tart
• Plum jam

Meet Sammie AKA Oda-Da-Booda-Da-Bo
Raised her from a 3 week old pup.. trained her.. fed.. got a job to spoil her.
Went off to school for a year and couldn't have her when I came back.
The only girl I've ever loved:
And here are the two ungrateful rescues:
Muddy (He meows to Muddy Waters' albums)
Zoe (As sweet and lazy as can be)
If that's your way of asking for a pet play-date... you might want to work on your approach


text: I typically overwinter in 3-4 mediums and every spring the bees are in the top or second box from the top and eggs and brood are always there. I've been reversing because the bottom two boxes are usually totally empty and by putting those empties on top I believe it will slow any swarming inclination. I'd like not to do this but when I've added a super with drawn frames to the stack, the bees just expand the brood next up. this year, I've added a queen excluder to a couple just to see what happens, but I still reversed them due to fears of crowding and swarming. I would like to hear from those with more experience whether they think the bees would eventually move the brood nest down into the bottom two boxes with drawn frames. I know Mr. Bush says don't bother with reversing but it seems to me that the bees always move the brood nest up in the early spring.

Goat Rodeo Strays from the Herd
What do Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, George Strait, Elvis Costello and Condoleezza Rice have in common?
All, in one manner or another, have come into the orbit of the four master musicians who spearhead the new The Goat Rodeo Sessions album. The word "eclectic" gets thrown around pretty easily in music circles, but this collaboration breaks genre barriers with genuine gusto.
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma is, of course, arguably the most famous classical musician in the world, but he's long ventured beyond the standard repertoire into everything from Appalachian to Argentinean sounds. He's the one who employed then National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice as his accompanist when he performed a Brahms piece on the night he received the National Medal of Arts.
Edgar Meyer has also straddled seemingly divergent worlds. A former Nashville session cat whose credits include Garth Brooks and Hank Williams, Jr., the bassist is also a classical composer of considerable repute. Stuart Duncan was a longtime member of the Nashville Bluegrass Band and, more recently, has become producer T Bone Burnett's first-call fiddler. And mandolinist Chris Thile, the 30-year-old junior member of the foursome, has earned kudos for his work in the progressive string bands Nickel Creek and the Punch Brothers.
Time with The Goat Rodeo Sessions is best spent concentrating on the music and not classifying the players. If you must file it somewhere, put it under V for Virtuosos.

More than 121 billion spam emails traverse the Internet each day, according to The Radicati Group, Inc., a Palo Alto, CA, marketing research firm. Spam has grown from a mere annoyance into something that can be quite dangerous. Cyber criminals are getting more sophisticated in their scams and phishing schemes, which are designed to steal personal data and financial information. They also exploit innumerable security flaws in web applications, PC operating systems, and software.
Spammers and virus creators are motivated by money and backed by organized crime on a global scale. They are also launching massive attacks on anti-spam organizations in an attempt to bring them down. Below are some frequently asked questions about spam and spammers with answers from experts.
Spammers buy lists from brokers that continuously harvest email addresses from newsgroups, chat rooms, web sites, Internet directories, and more. Spammers also run dictionary attacks, throwing billions of combinations of words and numbers at an email database to find valid address combinations.
Spamming has grown from innocuous fun to serious—often criminal—money-making business or damaging, disruptive threats. Since its origin, spam has been used to spread viruses; but lately, the emails are getting trickier and the malicious programs they sneak onto users' systems are getting nastier and harder to detect. Identity theft is also on the rise—gangs of cyber criminals use Trojans* spread by email that transmit back stolen data from infected computers.
Even scanning these suspicious emails in "preview" mode can be dangerous. Delete them immediately, but most importantly, be sure you have automatically updated anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-spyware, and other critical security software in place to ward off attacks and safeguard your digital assets.
* A Trojan horse program is a malicious program that pretends to be a benign application.
People are being tricked by email phishing scams that masquerade as legitimate business communications from their bank, mortgage provider, credit card company, PayPal, or eBay. Spammers hijack these companies' domain names and set up fake web sites. Cheap Internet phone service has put a new twist on these scams. They're directing people to call a fake customer service phone number to give up their user ID and pin.
Other popular spam-based Internet scams include foreign lotteries, investment schemes, chain letters, credit repair offers, advance-fee loan deals, check overpayment cons, and work-at-home ploys. Complaints can be filed through the econsumer.gov site.
Anti-spam coalitions stress the importance of using up-to-date anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware, and firewall software. The McAfee® Product Comparison Guide is a great resource to help users choose trusted solutions to filter out spam, block viruses and spyware, and protect against new threats as they emerge.
Spammers are constantly devising ways to get around Internet service provider (ISP) countermeasures. Cyber criminals have long used spamware to infect PCs with Trojans that turn them into proxy "spam zombies," controlled remotely to send out floods of email without the owner's knowledge. Newer, even more dangerous spamware can instruct the hijacked proxy to generate spam via the user's ISP mail-relay system. Advanced bots also automatically scan their environment and propagate themselves.
Cyber gangs control botnets—groups of tens of thousands of these zombie PCs—and rent them out to hackers and spammers by the hour for cheap mass-mailing campaigns, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, and data theft. They also use them to send untraceable spam offering child pornography and illegal drugs. The trend is towards smaller, more nimble groups of bots used for targeted financial attacks. These are quick and nasty, and are designed to get around server security tools that detect larger botnets.
For up-to-the-minute information including a list of prominent spammers, the Spamhaus organization tracks the current top-10 worst international spammers, top-10 worst spam-service ISPs, and top-10 worst spam-hosting countries.
A significant number of text messages sent to mobile phones are spam. Virus writers are also targeting smart phones and PDAs with Trojans that exploit Bluetooth and Multimedia Message Service (MMS) to crash systems, install malicious software, steal number lists, or transmit personal data to other devices. McAfee is leading the industry in the development of cell phone security to deter threats from email, instant messaging, and Internet downloads.
Weblogs, commonly called blogs, are seeing a huge rise in spam. This "splog" is an onslaught of junk postings that look like real user comments but instead contain advertising links to web sites. Sploggers are also using software to create thousands of fake blogs that contain ad links. This is done to trick Internet search engines. Search engines rank a web site in part by how many other sites link to it: More links boost a site's visibility, resulting in more traffic.
Unfortunately, spammers typically move faster than the laws passed to control them. Some cases make it to court, but law enforcement doesn't yet have the focus or the resources to effectively combat spam. ISPs are countering by using sophisticated tools specifically designed to recognize advanced coordinated attacks and remove stealth rootkit programs. But hackers quickly respond by designing bots that make viruses increasingly invisible. There is smart technology on both sides of the fence, and it's a head-to-head battle. Email filters are an indispensable tool but they're not enough—spam must be neutralized at the source.
The web industry is debating several measures designed to cut down on spam. One is to require all mass marketers to pay postage to send email. Another is to have bulk e-mailers post a bond and let recipients decide which emails are junk. A fee for each rejected email would come out of the marketer's bond. Models that hit mass e-mailers in the wallet are projected to significantly decrease spam by forcing them to target much smaller groups.
Email authentication systems are being re-pitched by the industry. These reduce spam by further improving email filters and by making it harder for spammers to fake their addresses. An example is the Microsoft® Sender ID, which is a specification that verifies an e-mail's authenticity by ensuring the validity of the sender's server. Email authentication combined with accreditation and reputation services will give a very good indication of whether a message should be junked or whether it is actually from the company it says it is. Success of the initiatives will depend on whether the industry can come together to set and adopt implementation standards.
To reduce spam, don't display your email address in public—newsgroups, chat rooms, web sites, or online service directories. You should understand privacy policies and forms, and use opt-out options. Try setting up two email addresses, one for real use and one for newsgroups and chats. Use an ISP that fights spam (see StopSpam.org for a list). An email filter and PC spam blocking software are absolutely critical. The McAfee® Internet Security significantly reduces your chances of becoming a victim, and gives you a worry-free Internet experience. For true peace of mind, consider the McAfee Total Protection™ Suite.

Music Festival Survival Guide
Before you head out to this year's music festivals, be sure to read our survival guide!
We've trained for this all winter. Parked on the couch with one hand on our iPods the other on the keyboard of our laptops, the best season is upon us: music festival season. We've read every 'most anticipated of 2012' list, listened to hundreds of playlists, scanned every music critic blog and have re-subscribed to all of our favorite music magazines to prep for the best plan of attack when it comes to festival line-ups. We're ready to hit the ground running and make this the best festival year of our lives.
Even if you're the best partier, music connoisseur or 'woo' girl the festival grounds will ever see, there are a few things you have to remember to bring with you. If not, you're fun day in the sun can go from amazing to the worst. We don't want to see anyone hauled to the medic area during the festival season, so we asked a few bands taking part in upcoming festivals what every fan should bring.
Keep It Clean
Zedd, a world renowned producer/DJ, may be getting ready to tour with Lady Gaga during her Asian leg of the "Born This Way Ball" tour, but for now he's revving up for the second weekend of Coachella. After wandering the festival grounds, Zedd told us that the best thing you could bring would be, "razors and shaving foam." I guess he saw enough Dan Auerbach look-alikes to last him a lifetime. Good luck sneaking a razor past security though, and if you're just going for a day festival, there wouldn't be much of a point to stock up on Gillette's.
Be Prepared
Mickey Avalon ran off a colorful list of things you must bring if you intend on looking good and hooking up. "If one is going to a music festival, it is very important to make sure to bring protection. Condoms, dental dam, saran wrap, tin foil, etc… But not to worry, if you forget, make sure you have a pharmacist friend that can load you up with antibiotics. You should also bring comfortable clothes, i.e. short shorts; and if you are going to wear short shorts, you should bring some Nair. And, if you dare wear short shorts, Nair for short shorts! But that can burn, so bring some aloe vera. And better than aloe vera in the bottle, is the real thing. It's good for your skin and can also be used for a laxative. You can swallow it, or rub it all over your body. Or both!?!"
DJ Destructo, founder of HARD festival, had another view on festival promiscuity. "If you have a significant other, bring them. They might keep you out of trouble."
Look Your Best
The French boys from Housse de Racket focused on three very important items fans usually forget. "Sunglasses, because you always look cool with sunglasses and you can watch girls without being seen, a Housse de Racket T-Shirt: Because you'll be even cooler with an 'I'm-the-only-one-to-know-them' t-shirt and a bottle of water because drinking is important! Yes, we mean water! Or you can throw it away and scream 'WOOHOO' with your cool t-shirt and sunglasses."
Find Your Pink Palace
Wolf Gang may be hitting the road to open for mega band Coldplay after performing the two weekend behemoth that is Coachella, but they also know a thing or two about roughing it at a festival like us normal people. "Don't rely on anyone else for your survival. Lasse once had to sleep under the van all night in the pouring rain because someone forgot to bring his tent and sleeping bag. Speaking of tents, buy the biggest, brightest and most obnoxious tent you can. We take the 'Pink Palace' with us whenever camping. It was the last tent we could find before Glastonbury. It's so offensive, no-one else would buy it. However, we had the last laugh when we were the only ones to find our tent at the end of the night! Oh yeah, and don't take the milk."
Keep Your Sneakers Clean
Alain Macklovitch aka A-Trak aka Duck Sauce will be playing I Love this City later in May, and has been playing shows since he was fourteen. "Charge your phone FULLY before you go, because if your phone dies you're screwed. Drink a lot of water, you might not realize you're getting dehydrated which is always bad news. You probably will lose your friends at one point so it's in your best interest to have a meeting point and the most important sensible tip of all is don't wear shoes or sneakers that you actually like because you're going to ruin them. No one is going to judge you on your footwear so just go ahead and wear an old pair of vans or something." If A-Trak says he won't judge you on your footwear, we're going to start doing this.
The Cold Hard Truth
Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes reminded us of the harsh reality of attending festivals nowadays with his wise words, "Bring binoculars. How often my eyes drift toward the big screens makes me feel like I might as well be watching from home. I like making sure I'm watching the actual players, not the camera edits the whole time." Taylor and fellow band mates are destroying the festival circuit this summer, and will be performing almost every festival being held this year. How they're pulling this off, we don't know.
Screw It
Shoegaze princess Laura Lloyd of No Joy came off a bit terrified by the thought of attending a music festival this summer. When asked about what to bring, she simply said, "Don't go unless you have all access passes." She does have a point, at least for Coachella. Instead of trekking all the way to California, hook up your computer to your television and stream the festival. If you're still unhappy you're not attending, take comfort in the fact that you can buy beer for a fraction of the price and only have to deal with people you like.

Forests & Climate Change
British Columbia's vast natural legacy of wildlife and ecosystems are under threat from climate change, including the clean water and other "life support services" they provide for us. According to conservative scientific predictions, in this century, climate change will place 20 to 30 per cent of animal species at high risk of extinction. Therefore, BC needs strong laws that both dramatically reduce our emissions of greenhouse gas pollution and help native species of plants and animals better withstand the effects of climate change.
We know that healthy, functioning ecosystems are better able to accommodate and adapt to climate change than areas that have been fragmented and degraded by human activities. Looking after these ecosystems is essential to giving species a fighting chance in the face of global warming. We also know scientifically that natural forests store more carbon than managed forests (e.g., than forests that have been logged and replanted). Our land use choices in the face of climate change should reflect this.
New and strengthened laws will be required to give species, their habitats and ultimately ourselves the best chances of survival. To start with, we need to work together to design a new legal and policy framework that sets the stage for a science-based, legally designated, and interconnected climate conservation network in BC to give our diverse and abundant landscapes a fighting chance in the face of climate change.
The provincial government can start this process by working collaboratively with groups like West Coast Environmental Law to integrate nature strategies into its climate action plan, to conduct science-based mapping of priority conservation areas for climate mitigation and adaptation, and by developing new legal designations and tenures to augment its toolbox for nature conservation in a climate change era.
Forest-related carbon offsets
The Western Climate Initiative (WCI), of which BC is a member – was launched in February 2007, and is a collaboration of 7 U.S. governors and 4 Canadian premiers. The WCI was created to identify, evaluate, and implement collective and cooperative ways to reduce greenhouse gases, focusing on a market-based cap-and-trade system. The WCI proposes that 49 per cent of total emission reductions in the 2011-2020 period may be met through the use of 'offsets', through which entities may offset their own emissions by purchasing 'credits' generated by projects such as reforestation. In BC, with our wealth of forest resources, the treatment of forest-related carbon offsets is exceptionally salient.
Handled correctly, offset trading can minimize the overall cost of action on climate change while creating incentives for projects and behaviours that have significant ecological and social benefits. For example, it could provide a revenue stream for First Nations who wish to retain forests in their territories rather than log them, or for restoration efforts. However, without due care and attention to the specifics of BC's forestry laws and policies and legal principles arising from Aboriginal case law, a badly designed regulatory framework could end up contributing to poor environmental outcomes and the further marginalization of First Nations peoples and forest-dependent communities.
West Coast Environmental Law is committed to fostering the environmental integrity, economic feasibility and constitutional validity of British Columbia's emerging regulatory framework for greenhouse gas reductions, including as it relates to forest protection and management.

The world was already changing before the global financial crisis as China, India and Brazil emerged as economic superpowers. But the crisis has accelerated the speed and broadened the scope of the shake-up.
The immediate priority for central banks, especially those in developed markets, is going to be re-establishing a baseline of stability. But the markets that central banks oversee, the currency and monetary positions they manage, and the wider economic drivers that they are there to control, are all going to face significant upheaval as a result of the longer term trends explored in Project Blue, such as global and local instability, the rise of state-directed capitalism and the rise and interconnectivity of the emerging markets.
All central banks are facing the urgent need to reassess their strategy and place within the wider regulatory and economic environment but there is no one way for central banks to deal with these challenges, particularly when strategies and objectives are profoundly affected by the economic circumstances and politics of the central bank's home country.

Ask Jamie's Food Team
Hello everyone!
My name is Charles and I work for Jamie�s YouTube Channel
I�m in the process of developing ideas for a very exciting mini-series called �Jamie�s Food Team is Here to Help�.
In this mini-series members of the public who are passionate about food will have the chance to ask Jamie�s expert food team a question which the team will then answer in a short video.
Would you be interested in taking part of this exciting mini-series and put your questions to the food team? If so please reply by emailing me directly via the link on the left hand side. I will then be able to explain more about the project to you
Looking forward to hear from you!
Best Wishes,

Re: Ask Jamie's Food Team
It's probably not what you want but I'd like to know the process of creating recipes that jamie and his team go through.

Re: Ask Jamie's Food Team
Hey Pakman and The White Rabbit!
Pakman, I see you are from Estonia. Maybe you could give Jamie's food team a challenge with an ingredient from typical Estonian cuisine? That would be really interesting!
If you can think of anything you would like to ask please get in touch via the email link on the left.
The White Rabbit, The process of creating recipes is a topic that will probably be covered during some of of the videos we produce as creating recipes is the food team's bread and butter!
What we are looking for are food stories from the public with a related question or problem for the food team to solve.
A fantastic example hit these forums in 2008 when 'pastamaker' asked for help in making "The Worlds Best Lasagna" which could be nothing less than "a piece of truly perfect hand-crafted pasta perfection!"
We are asking members to submit their questions in the form of a short video which we can record using skype. The user account is called jamiefoodtube. I am online all day today and will be able to answer any more questions you have.

Cool. One topic that come up a lot here and is a bit tricky even for the forum to answer is "i can't eat x, y and maybe even z for health reasons; what can I substitute for...". I'm thinking gluten free, dairy free, diabetic, etc. Sorry there'll be no video question from me.

text: I am looking at going to med. only and had an interesting discussion on another thread on this subject. MB and I went into the math of surface area of a 2 deep 10 frame to an 8 frame box set up with the same surface area (foundation) and that was 4 boxes. I am under 10 hives but I still worry about the stability of an 8 frame hive that has 4 boxes of brood and 3-4 boxes of harvest honey area. Other than that I do like the idea and I am negotiating with Janet at Country Rubes for my med. box order, much cheaper for a small scale guy like me instead of building the equipment for hot wax dipping like MB does.

Excerpt: "With safety Kenny Phillips (knee) listed as doubtful and fellow safety Tyler Sash (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, the role of third safety in the Giants three-safety package falls on Will Hill, the former All-State product out of St. Peters Prep in Jersey City.
That means Im up to bat, the first-year safety said. Ive been prepared. Ive just had vets above me, and Ive had to sit back and wait my turn, but Im always ready.
Hill has played in three games since coming off a four-game suspension for violating the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing drugs. In those three games, Hill only played 12 defensive snaps all against Green Bay. Hill figures to play a bigger role on defense as the third safety against the Saints pass-first offense.
He would be, head coach Tom Coughlin said of Hill. Hes practiced in both special teams and on defense, in multiple roles on defense. So if called upon I think hed be ready to do that. Read more...

The Auckland-based club today announced they will play the Sydney club on Saturday, February 16, the only trial they will play in the North Island ahead of their 2013 NRL campaign, with the club's third and final build-up match against Brisbane set for Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday, February 23.
The Waikato Stadium match will have special significance for new head coach Matthew Elliott as it will be his first in charge on New Zealand soil.
"It's going to be really exciting taking our club to Hamilton for what will be an important trial for us ahead of the NRL season,'' he said.
Warriors general manager of football operations Dean Bell said the trial provided a great opportunity for the club to connect with a region renowned for its strong support and production of rugby league talent.
"We've got so many members and fans from Waikato and near by areas like Bay of Plenty and Thames Valley who travel to our games in Auckland. Now they will have the chance to see the Vodafone Warriors much closer to home,'' he said.
"It's also close enough for supporters from Auckland to make the trip. We're certainly hoping people turn out in big numbers at a time when the NRL season will be just a few weeks away.
"The Waikato area is equally important to us in terms of the playing talent produced there.
"We have Sam and Steve Rapira, who hail from Hamilton, in our squad and a number of others from the region have been involved in our system.''
The trial will mark the Warriors' first visit to Hamilton since their 2009 trial against the Melbourne Storm. The club played Parramatta in NRL `away' games at Waikato Stadium in 2005 and 2006 and has also had trial matches at the ground previously.
Tickets for the trial are due to go on sale on Monday, November 5.
Warriors 2013 NRL trials:
Saturday, February 9 v Gold Coast Pizzey Park, Burleigh
Saturday, February 16 v Penrith, Waikato Stadium, Hamilton
Saturday, February 23 v Brisbane Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin

This alignment can only occur between Earth and either Mercury or Venus since their planetary orbits lie closer to the sun than our own. Since Mercury orbits very close to the Sun, we can observe its transit every 13 to 14 years.
