I checked out Jenny's bio on usfsa.org and found her programs for the new season:
SP: Chicago
LP: Beatles concerto featuring 'Imagine'
So, she's keeping her Chicago SP. However, I wonder if it will be reworked by Lori Nichol. I'm kind of dreading seeing her LP, which could basically be Beatles/John Lennon in muzak style. I hope it is better than her Abba LP, which was Abba in muzak style. I'm glad she ended up ditching that program.

Nov 10, 2012 at 9:48 am #1295926
I don't see much about packing strategy, besides the burrito method for frameless packs.
I used to pack stuff in side pockets, but now I keep the most dense objects in the center of the pack as close to my spine as possible, with the most dense objects at the lowest point. For me these are tarp tent poles, fuel, pot, stand, … I also use a bladder bag.
The less dense objects are placed inside the pack on the right and left. The least dense is on the outside (rear) of the pack. Really dense small objects are on the hip belt pockets.
I try not to put anything in the side or back mesh pockets.
Convenience is not part of the strategy.

Heaviest stuff close to my back, just above my center of gravity. I should point out that since I'm a woman with rather large hips, my center of gravity is quite a bit lower than most people's.
Shelter on top or in side pocket, so I can set it up in pouring rain without having the contents of my pack soaked while I dig out the tent. This is a matter of survival, not convenience.
The placement of items in the pack changes quite a bit as my food bag (the heaviest item at the start of a longer trip) gets lighter and lighter. There are no one or two other items that are significantly heavier than the rest.
EDIT, LATER: I have a lightweight framed pack (Six Moon Designs Comet, discontinued "little brother" of their Starlite, with the stays), which has an internal pad pocket. My dog's sleeping pad (GG Nightlite torso length) goes in the pad pocket as does my folded, completely deflated insulated air pad from the late lamented KookaBay.Nov 10, 2012 at 11:04 am #1927507

I followed the burrito method of stuffing my pack for a while. I got tired of trying to get the CCF pad to uncoil sufficiently to allow me to re-stuff my pack out on the trail. It worked great at home but became a little tedious on the trail.
In the interest of comfort and improving my night's rest on the trail I purchased a ProLite Plus inflatable sleeping pad. This pad is used as my virtual frame in my UL MYOG pack.
The pad is folded while it is deflated and the valve closed so that it winds up about the same width as my pack. Inside of the pack there are two simple elastic straps sewn into the seam allowance across the pack front on the interior of the pack. The upper one is about 6" from the top and the lower one is about 10" further down the pack front (shoulder strap side). I slide the folded pad behind these elastic straps as the first step of stuffing my pack. Next goes in the plastic trash compactor bag with my sleep system (top quilt, wool socks, insulated pants & down vest) stuffed into the bottom.
The rest of my gear follows. Next to go into my pack is my clothing bag, food bag, FAK and cook kit. My Dri Ducks rain jacket is the last thing in so that it rides on top for quick access. Water bottles are on the shoulder straps and my tent is in the left side stretch pocket. The right side stretch pocket houses stove fuel, an extra water bottle if needed and a trash bag. Must keep the trail clean. ;-)
Changing to the new pad arrangement now means that I don't have to empty my pack completely to get to my sleping pad and set up my tent.
Yes my sleeping system is stuffed into the very bottom of the pack but in camp on my last hike I used my clothing bag as a pillow, I wore my Dri Ducks jacket to sleep and my food bag along with the cook kit came out of the pack for supper. On the next rip I think I'll put the FAK in the RS pocket so it is more available for use.
Using this folded inflatable pad method makes loading the pack so much easier. Even though my pad when inflated is 1.5" thick it is so much less bulky and cumbersome than my old 3/4 size Ridgerest CCF pad.
Party On,

There are many ways to do this.
Since you didn't specify for where or for how long, I will just use a one to two week trip through the ADK's.
Pack: GG Murmur(~10-12 days) or GG Miniposa for ~10-18 days. Either of these allows me to use a 5 layer NightLite pad as a frame. For longer trips, I bring a Granite Gear Ghost (about 20 days) or GoLite Trek with a special pad inside(about 24-28 days.) This all assumes no resupply stops.
Bottom: Bag, long johns, 2 pr socks, down jacket All compressed into a small, eVent compressor bag. Weight is around 4 to 4.5 pounds (depends on what weight of long johns and socks.) This bag is the heaviest single item in the "base" pack.
Mid: Food, soap, pills, Aquamira drops, etc. The "live" load or consumables minus water and fuel. About 1.5 pounds per day, depending…
Top: Rock sak/ditty bag, duct tape, spare batteries, spare bandana, 8 stakes(1.7oz total,) spare line, Bic lighter, etc. This fits into a KMart grease pot. Tarp, rolled tightly into a long 24" tube, folded in half. Fleece sweater if I am not wearing it.
Left hand pocket: SVEA 123, windscreen
Right hand pocket: Two .5L water bottles.
Center pocket: Rain Jacket (5.5oz,) fuel, notebook and pencil, steripen.
I don't usually carry spare cloths, ie for wearing. I carry a fleece sweater and rain jacket with can also double for warmth. I have been down as far as 32F with this setup. For early spring and late fall, I will add a second set of long johns for hiking in, and, switch out to a warmer bag.
My base load is between 9 and 11 pounds depending…
Food alone is figured at about 1.1-1.3 pounds per day, depending. Longer hiking only trips I have carried as much as 1.75pounds per day. I carry the identical gear for UL canoeing, but food weight is usually closer to 1.2 pounds.
It will very much depend on duration, since food weight, and pack arangement requires tweaking as I go. Important to me to keep the loads off my shoulders as much as possible.Nov 10, 2012 at 3:23 pm #1927541

Hi James,
I don't mean to be skeptical, but I am very curious as to how you manage to pack 42# of consumables for 28 days(28 days x 1.5#), plus water and fuel, plus 9-11# of base gear in a 4500 c.i. frameless pack, let alone carry it without loading your shoulders to the point of dysfunctionality. Am I misunderstanding something here? If not, I would really appreciate a bit more information as to how you manage to pull this off.
TomNov 10, 2012 at 5:06 pm #1927558
I guess I should have said I was trying to keep the CG as low as possible and as close to my natural CG. Keeping the heavy items out of the side pockets reduces the rotational inertia.
Bear canister — good point. I haven't had the pleasure, but if/when I do, it will just go on top where the y-strap is located.Nov 10, 2012 at 7:48 pm #1927578
Tom, My pack load for the lonest trip mentioned closer to 53-55pounds. Sorry, I didn't have a scale. I use a modified pad to help support the loading, I thought I mentioned that, my appologies. Anyway, at least 3/4 of the load was on my hips. I actually got a blister on my hip, but other than that I was quite comfortable. I *did not* like the heat, though.
1.5pounds per day includes the fuel, ie, it is all live load, ie over and above base load. I seem to remember I miscalculated on fuel for the long trip. I brought a two liter bottle, assuming 1oz per day, but by the time I realized I didn't need that much, I could not get rid of it. I had about a half liter left over.
Water is 2-.5liter bottles, I am sure I mentioned that. There is little to no problems getting water in the ADK's. Indeed, most of the time, *avoiding* water is the problem (at least hiking up rt 28-Old Forge to the Moose River Plains area. I saw rain for 10 days straight.) I don't carry water, generally speaking. 'Corse I did loose weight…around 12-13pounds.
I used three ~15 pound stuff sacks to hold the food. Larger and they became difficult to hang. Stuffed full, they became almost a second frame by laying two in left to right, rather than top to bottom, with one over the two, and, slipping my bag/cloths over them. Really, the pack carried quite well, full. I don't care to carry it half empty, though. I really could not compress it and it would squeek to beat h#ll. Never did figure out why…load lifters?
This year, I have only used the Murmur and Miniposa. I carry the Murmur with a weaker pad structure than the Trek, since I can only get about 23-25 pounds in it, it has a very flimsy 3/4" belt. The Miniposa can handle more, but it maxes out at around 35-38 pounds (way over spec.) (I have alo taken to carrying both the NightLite and NeoAir.)
The consumables or live load is all that really changes. Yes, a few ounces more in bear line, a heavier pack (8.5oz vs 1#14,) and a different pad structure (which really doesn't cost any weight) accounts for 2-3 pounds. Carrying UL doesn't really matter that much if you *still* carry 55 pounds.
With the wife, I have been known to carry more. She really enjoys her picture taking. I get to haul 2 DSLR's 4 lenses, cases, Manfroto tripod, a couple smaller cameras, besides my pack, AND, hauling the old boat up to see our loons.Nov 10, 2012 at 7:59 pm #1927581

Jeffrey mentioned that nobody was mentioning a bear canister and asked if that changed the packing strategy- for me, absolutely it does.
I joined a Meetup group this past year that made bear canisters a requirement. My current pack was large enough for my load out, but not large enough to put a bear canister inside the pack. I came up with a couple of creative ways to carry the can outside, but it's not ideal and really messes up the balance of the pack.
I ended up buying a different pack for use with the bear canister- a Granite Gear Vapor Trail, which I purchased from a member here. It's more than large enough to accommodate the bear canister inside the pack, where I will pack it at the base of the pack. As a woman my center of gravity is right at the hips, so packing the heavy items at the bottom of the pack works well for me.Nov 12, 2012 at 11:11 am #1927795

Surely you're not referring to your wife as the "old boat"…
Anyway, I appreciated your descriptions of how you load your Murmur. I too use a Murmur for my primary pack and only once have had it up to 25 pounds (and that was carrying about 5 liters of water uphill to a dry campsite).
I'm sure it's not as fragile as it seems, but anytime I'm overloading the pack that way I get someone to help me put it on so I'm not putting excess stress on a single shoulder strap or the lift loop. I carry a sewing kit with me (okay, a couple of needles, a thimble, and dental floss) but the idea of having to re-attach a shoulder strap in the middle of a trip frightens me!Nov 12, 2012 at 11:29 am #1927800
Ben CBPL Member
@alexdrewreedLocale: Kentucky
@ken I frequently use a blast. I have carried up to 23 pounds, but not with a canister. I put a 1/8 pad against my back, 25 inch wide neoair on bottom, then a trash compactor that has my quilt and any dry clothes, then my tarp vertically on one side and my food on the other. I arrange a ditty bag and cook system on top of those. I carry rain gear, maps, and anything else I want handy in my mesh pocket on the back. I carry water in a side pocket or strap pocket. I was fine at 23 pounds but really wouldn't want to carry much more. For shorter trips(say, 4 days), I usually carry a Zero. I hope that helps.Nov 12, 2012 at 12:27 pm #1927811
Ha, ha….no. It *is* an actual boat… I would not risk my neck that way.
The pack seems very well sewn. The shoulder straps always held excelently, despite any overload. One of the things I check and repair if needed…never has. Very well built for a true UL pack. I am not real pleased with the buckles, though. Or, changing the straps to something with more texture.Nov 12, 2012 at 2:16 pm #1927825

I agree with Dena that carrying a canister up top or somehow outside of a pack creates all kinds of problems. I'm mostly hiking in the Sierras so a canister is pretty much required. Like Dena I carry mine at the bottom of my pack; many people suggest having it in the middle. There's also the "sideways" versus "upright" dilemma. In any case, a canister forces a different strategy.Nov 12, 2012 at 3:53 pm #1927836

The only heavy thing I have is a food bag. And water bottles, but they go in side pockets.
Theres not much strategy in packing when you have little to pack.

Why the hell is it so humid here, I'm not in the rainforest am I?
I spend the time in New York at a friends place in Queens and got the full inside view of living in this great City. I would say it's a bit like London just that in Manhattan it's much harder to find a green spot to sit down and enjoy your lunch. And you can't really see the city because you can only see the building around you.
The cool thing is that you can travel with the tube (they call it subway) to the beach of Conny Island. It's like Brighton but with real sand
I didn't do a lot in New York other then soaking up the vibe's of the city, visit a few museums and getting into the idea that I will travel around the world in the next months.
Ahh, there is one more thing and Athena you will be surprised.
Now I'm a bargain hunter too :-)

Less a documentary than a visual rapture, the new film by the man whose cinematographic credits stretch all the way back to Koyaanisqatsi in 1982 is the kind of movie to make old hippies regret that good hallucinogenics and high-definition digital video didn't come along in the same decade.
Shot (on 70mm film and output to video) in almost 100 locations in 25 countries over five years, it captures footage of randomly connected - or more often pointedly disconnected - events and sites: an ocean of pilgrims swirls around the Kaaba in Mecca; a heavily tattooed man nuzzles his newborn baby; Korean golfers fill a three-level driving range at night; monks complete an intricate sand mandala; balloons glide over jungle temples; there are factory workers, gun nuts and sulphur miners; we cut from splendour in Dubai to squalor in Shanghai. All the while the soundtrack (by Michael Stearns and Lisa Gerrard) is insistent without being obtrusive.
The title, the Sanskrit word for the cycle of death and rebirth, hints at a spiritual agenda and only the dullest of viewers would not be moved to find some quasi-sacred element to the connections between the various subjects Fricke turns his cameras on, though a politically based reading is equally tempting.
Not all the images will be new: Canadian film-maker Jennifer Baichwal's Manufactured Landscapes and the Austrian documentaries Workingman's Death and Our Daily Bread, all of which have shown in festivals here, have travelled some of this road before.
Fricke's approach is more composed - if nothing else, the sumptuously rich images remind us what a distracting gimmick 3D can be - but veers towards the preachy at times: the juxtaposition of ammunition piles with a war-wounded man is close to banal.
Conversely, some connections are obscure at best. The movie is perhaps most digestibly enjoyed when the mind does not strain to make meaning.
A hostile review in the Boston Globe compared the film to "an issue of National Geographic gone mad". It's an accurate comment, but that's the point of the film, I would have thought. You need to be in the mood. If you are, it will be unmissable.

This post if only for those who have decided that they must find and remove yellow jacket nests to save their honey bee hives.
Ok Folks, for those of you who have been having trouble with yellow jackets and want to find and remove the nest here is Sherpa's bee-lining primer:
1. Obtain a small (hand sized) fish that has been cleaned, but with the skin still on (keeps it from drying out). A small bream or bass works great.
2. By watching your hive determine in what general direction the yellow jackets are going when they leave your hive.
3. Go in that direction about 200-300 feet and find a small tree that has a clearing around it.
4. Skin a small limb of the tree, cut the end of the limb to a point and hang the fish on the limb. The best time for this is in the early morning.
5. Place some grease around the trunk of the tree to keep ants away.
6. Go home and return in about 2-3 hours. The fish will have attracted the yellow jackets and they will be biting off small pieces of the fish and returning to their nest.
7. You can follow the yellow jackets to their nest.
8. If you are having trouble seeing the yellow jackets, you can flag them. You will need a piece of cigarette paper (the kind that people used to roll their own). Tear off a corner of the paper and make it into a small triangular "flag" with a long "tail". The tail should be just longer than the length of the yellow jacket. Take a small piece of fish and attach it to the end of the tail of the flag by rolling it into a ball. (You want the piece to be about the size that the jackets are biting off). You are going to trick the yellow jacket to take this piece of fish with the flag. When a yellow jacket has landed on the fish, and IS WELL UNDER WAY biting off a piece of the fish, you slowly slide the tail end of your flag with the fish under the yellow jacket's abdomen up to its jaws. You want the yellow jacket to grasp your piece of fish with the flag.
9. The yellow jacket will take the fish with the flag attached back to the nest. Don't make the flag too big or the yellow jacket will bite the flag off.
10. If you want to practice giving the jackets some fish before making your flag, just put a small ball of fish on the end of a pine needle and use it to push under the yellow jacket when the yellow jacket is biting off a piece of fish. You can use a pine needle that is long enough to be a little distance from the "business end" of the yellow jacket. If you give the jacket a slightly larger piece than they would normally bite off, they will sometimes try to fly with this larger piece and it is easier to follow them. You could try this before using the flag method.
11. When you are following the yellow jacket and you see that it makes a sudden downward movement, you are near the nest so slow down and don't step on the nest. Repeat, DON'T STEP ON THE NEST. IF you lose sight of the yellow jacket, STOP where you are and look around. You may be very near the nest. Backtrack and try again. It really helps if you have some help in following the yellow jacket.
12. If you determine that the nest if a long way from your fish, you can put another fish closer to where you followed the yellow jackets.
13. Once you find the nest, be sure that you observe it to determine if they have more than one entrance (about half the time). Mark the location of the nest so that you can easily find it at dusk.
14. Obtain a road flare and return to the nest site at dusk. Once you have determined that all the yellow jackets have returned to the nest, light the flare and QUICKLY put the lighted end of the flare into the entrance. The flame will kill the guards and the smoke will put the yellow jackets to SLEEP. Leave the flare in the entrance about 10 minutes. After that time you can dig up the nest and dispose of the yellow jackets in whatever means you find appropriate (soapy water). Remember the jackets are asleep not dead. They will awaken in about 5 minutes if not killed. If you want to take the nest with larvae home to use as fish bait, put the nest in a paper bag and store in the refrigerator. If the nest has a second entrance, you must cover it before you put the flare in. Put the flare in the end that has the most activity. Sometimes you only find a 2nd entrance after the flare is in and you see smoke coming out. If so, quickly seal this entrance.
15. Remember, don't step on the nest and don't start a brush fire. Also if you find yellow jackets of different sizes or markings on the fish they are from different nests. You will usually see them competing for the fish.
When I was younger (12 yrs old) I used this method many times to find yellow jacket nests. Local fisherman would pay for the nests and this is how we made some spending money in rural SC. If used properly, you can find find nests this way without getting stung.
If you have questions PM me before you go out or leave a question here.
I will try to get up some pictures, but I don't think that I can do it before next week. Happy hunting.

text: Hey all: I have had the pinch welds (bottom of rocker panels below doors/body) damaged THREE TIMES over the years, last time just last month, by two different tire/service shops, but have never actually seen how it's being damaged. My pics show the damage that's happening, and where. One shop told me it happens when they lift the vehicle up by the pinch welds. Anyone experienced this? It's especially nice when the shop lies to your face and claims they didn't damage it, bla bla bla. By the way, this has never happened when I take the truck in to the dealer!

All of the gnashing of teeth around changes to the Warrant of Fitness system is now irrelevant, there's nothing left to say and the once-yearly WoF for young(ish) cars will go ahead. It'll be interesting to see how it pans out - the doomsayers reckon it'll be carnage, but I don't think we'll quite see the apocalyptic effect that some say it will.
They said the same about the give way rule change, and that went by without the world coming to an end. Of course, some do like to point out the sky is falling occasionally, and there are a couple of areas that we still really need to get our proverbial ducks in a row on.
First are diesel road user charges or the Bulls**t Travesty Tax as we like to call it. Aside from subsidising a bit of the bill for big trucks the only thing it really achieves is confuses the marketplace about buying diesel passenger vehicles for private use.
Pay it at the pump, leave business users to sort it out using a modified version of the current scheme.
The other one is the quad bike - a handy farm machine, granted, and also a bit of fun if you know how to use one safely. But every year we seem to sit back and read horror stories about people getting badly hurt because they don't know how to use them properly.
It's high time that a well-sorted training programme was put in place to make farm children (and in many cases farm adults) learn to use quads responsibly
We're not talking a full time degree in not crashing quads here - a few hours with the right person doing the talking and there'll be quite a few less country funerals.
And then there's Simon Bridges and his 'new measures' to curb speeding on our roads. It's still all a big surprise, so we'll reserve judgment on that one for the moment.
Anything else, wise readers, that we need to get sorted? It'll give some of the WoFflers something to do this year.

Just as WASPs, Irish-Catholics, and Our Crowd Jews once made the ascent from immigrants to powerbrokers, it is now the Indian-American's turn. Citigroup, PepsiCo, and Mastercard are just a handful of the Fortune 500 companies led by a group known as the "Twice Blessed". Yet little is known about how these Indian émigrés (and children of émigrés) rose through the ranks. Until now...
The collapse of the Galleon Group - a hedge fund that managed more than $7 billion in assets - from criminal charges of insider trading was a sensational case that pitted prosecutor Preet Bharara, himself the son of Indian immigrants, against the best and brightest of the South Asian business community. At the center of the case was self-described King of Kings, Galleon's founder Raj Rajaratnam, a Sri-Lankan-born, Wharton-educated billionaire. But the most shocking allegation was that the éminence grise of Indian business, Rajat Gupta, was Rajaratnam's accomplice and mole. If not for Gupta's nose-to-the-grindstone rise to head up McKinsey & Co and a position on the Goldman Sachs board, men like Rajaratnam would have never made it to the top of America's moneyed elite.
Author Anita Raghavan crisscrosses the globe from Wall Street boardrooms to Delhi's Indian Institute of Technology as she uncovers the secrets of this subculture - an incredible tale of triumph, temptation and tragedy.

"Utterly ridiculous performance"
Every time an Indian character speaks in this book, they are given a stupid imitation Indian accent. Even emails and instant messages by Indian characters get the same Saturday-night live treatment. You get a middle aged white guy spending the whole book putting on this stupid accent.
If the author countenanced this, it was an incredible mistake. Even if the intent was to honor the ethnic mannerisms of the characters, this approach overlooks that when one is reading, they don't assign characters any particular accent. Having to listen to this completely takes the reader out of the book.
"Long, boring, tedious"
Wish this great story had been taken up by a better writer. Good story but written in a dull and tedious style.
"Narrator ruins the experience"
Dan, for some strange reasons, decided to speak the lines of Indian characters in a made up accent. It sounds like a combination of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Apu from Simpsons. All the Indian characters sound exactly the same. It doesn't matter whether the Indian person was born and brought up in the USA. Every time Dan spoke in this weird accent I cringed. It killed the book for me. Unfortunately the sample didn't play his Arnold-Apu accent.
"Fascinating Story--Well-told"
No--I only listen to a book once. I have so many to listen to that I would not have time to re-listen.
Also, I find that when I listen to a book I comprehend so much more of it.
Raj Gupta--I had just finished listening to a book about McKinsey, his former employer, and was fascinated by how such a successful and beloved person could have done what he did to get convicted.
The convictions of the two major characters.
This book was so well-written that it "read" like a novel. The detail of how the Indian elite conquered business in the U.S., and how some of them fell, was fascinating. One of my favorite books from 2013.

I replaced it later with an original walnut stock. I guess it's hard for me to see a 22lr and think tactical weapon. The look pretty neat though.

Chicest Celebrity Baby Rooms: Bethenny Frankel, Molly Sims & More
Celebrities spare no expense when it comes to their babies — especially their nurseries! With modern, yet personalized style, we love looking at these baby rooms. Check out some of our favorites!
While Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are planning the first-class, tricked-out nursery for their little bundle of joy, they can draw inspiration from the many celebrities who have created stylish baby rooms in the past year.
Giuliana & Bill Rancic's Baby Room For Duke
Giuliana Rancic and her husband Bill Rancic wanted a nautical themed room for their baby boy Duke, but they didn't want it to look too "cutesy."
"They both really love water and ships, so we went with that theme from the beginning," interior designer Lonni Paul, tells People magazine.
They used blue grasscloth wallpaper on the walls, and white linen Roman shades. They also monogrammed the gray crib with Duke's initials.
"The initials on the crib make it an heirloom piece," Lonni says, who has also designed nurseries for Melissa Joan Hart and Robert Downey Jr. "Bill thought that when [Duke] is older they could mount the end of the crib on the wall."
Bethenny Frankel's Cupcake Bedroom
Because Bethenny Frankel's daughter Bryn's favorite color is pink, the former Real Housewife of New York star had to incorporate that into her bedroom. But she didn't want it to be too overwhelming, so she opted for softer colors of buttercream and pale pink. "It reminded me of yummy cupcakes!" Bethenny wrote on her site.
Bryan also loves animals, so Bethenny made sure to incorporate cute monkeys into her wallpaper. She also hung a painting that a fan created of Bryn's favorite stuffed elephant, with the plush toy propped up underneath.
Check out the rest of the nurseries and baby rooms. What do YOU think of these nurseries HollyMoms? Which is your favorite? Let us know in the comments below!

Attendees enjoy weekend Happy Dancing Turtle events
The Happy Dancing Turtle campus offered a taste of spring to optimistic visitors Saturday, April 20, in the form of a mushroom cultivation workshop, potluck and spring plant swap.
Weather limited offerings at the plant swap, but Jim Chamberlain, food and water security coordinator, said the event still drew as many as 40 people as well as plants ranging from mulberries, to tomatoes, and even tobacco plants.
"A lot of the stuff that is pretty typical for plant swaps are perennials you dig up like raspberries or any of your bulb plants or irises or anything like that that you split. I think that held some people back," Chamberlain said.
Chamberlain also shared his nine years of experience in cultivating mushroom by guiding a small group of people through the process of innoculating logs with shiitake mushroom spawn. He explained cultivation of wine cap mushrooms and oyster mushrooms. Everyone present walked away with instructions for caring for their logs, as well as baggies full of oyster mushroom spawn.
This event was sponsored by the Central Chapter of the Sustainable Farming Association of Minnesota. It was the first time they have held a plant swap in Pine River, though last year one was held in Wadena. Chamberlain has also taught mushroom cultivation in past years.

Hey everyone,is anyone out there that has. A few Warre Hives please I want to know if modified warre are worth working,and if anyone likes it better,I'm all wishy washy on what hives I want to go with. Anyone
Hey everyone,is anyone out there that has. A few Warre Hives please I want to know if modified warre are worth working,and if anyone likes it better,I'm all wishy washy on what hives I want to go with. Anyone
I started with a Warre and have since added a Perone and three TBH's. Of the three I like the TBH the most and the Warre the least. While I wouldn't call it "unmanageable," it is very difficult to monitor when compared to hives with more moveable frames and unless you super it, lifting the whole hive in the spring alone can be tough. If you want a natural comb hive without foundation I would recommend a TBH. Easy to build, easy to inspect, and just plain fun.
A natural comb hive can also be had with a 5 frame or 8 frame Lang by simply using foundationless frames. Hope this helps.
All things may be lawful; but not all things are advantagous.
If you follow the Warre' design exactly, then you'll have top bars with no guides and they will be nailed in. These are both problematic to having inspectable comb. Inspectable comb is not only important to good beekeeping but is legally required in almost all the US states. On the other hand, if you don't nail them in and put comb guides on them and you manage them carefully it is possible to have it inspectable.
I think one of the pitfalls of TBH and Warre' hives is not so much the design as the mentality of people who chose them. They often seem to want to never open them and work them and the design is such that they require more frequent, not less frequent, interventions. One good comb leads to another and one bad comb leads to another. You need to make sure the combs are straight and on the top bars so the next will be straight and on the top bars.

have you ever seen a Warré hive? I just wonder...
You nail the topbars - but you use nails without heads. You either pinch off the nail heads or use special nails without heads. This way you can lift the topbars and push them back into place. This is the method by Émile Warré himself, you can find it in his book.
Every decent Warré beekeeper uses starter strips. Émile Warré did himself and you can find it in his book. If it weren't crucial, the Abbé Warré would have pruned it out of the system. But it is needed to get decent comb. So it is part of the system to use starter strips.
I inspect Warré hives regularily. Usually every week or two. The best way to do it is, to look from below, means you turn each box on it's side. I have posted some pictures in another thread.
Yes, mentality of some Warreors is a problem. Some just are afraid getting into full contact with bees. Those people should not keep bees. Nothing natural about letting bees getting into a bad state. Luckily there are others that know how to care for bees and take their stings. Unfortunately those beekeepers are not writing much. It seems the more people write the less their experience. Anyway, most of the know-it-all folks go silent after a while, as did their bees...
>have you ever seen a Warré hive? I just wonder...
Yes. I have seen several that had no comb guides and were nailed in and several that were modified from that to have comb guides and not be nailed in. It's been a while since I read the Abbe' Warre's book, and I admit I was more skimming it as I was not trying to build a Warre' but I don't remember any starter strips. One of these days I need to read it again.
My concern was always what to do if they attach one box to the one below. I have not had them, but have often asked the people who's Warre's I've seen how that works and they all seemed to have problems with it. A "cheese cutter" seems like the most useful way to deal with it but I have no real feel for how much of a problem it is.
I agree with several of Warre's conclusions but disagree with some as well. Some I'm just more in the middle on, such as the whole "brood nest scent and warmth" thing. I think too much interference probably does cause issues with this. But I don't see the brood nest as some sacred place you cannot go and while I think sometimes people get carried away with ventilation, some seems to work out well.

Michael, have you read the Russian book we've been discussing in another thread?
I've wondered if the type of hive he favors has something to do with the Warre system, since the frames are the size of 2 deeps stacked together, He makes much of the fact that natural bee trees tend to have deep comb, as Warre hives apparently do, in functional terms.
Hi Michael,
unfortunately a lot of Warréors do not read the original book but rather start with a modified system that they "heared of". Sometimes they do hear of "problems" and try to solve problems that are no problems.
Starter strips are a must and that is for some reasons. Inspecting is not the first reason. Émile Warré has used starter strips to get straight combs that he can extract. He used cages to extract natural combs. He simply put the combs with topbar into a cage, so the comb is supported on either side by the wire of the cage. He then used a horizontal extractor. There is a picture of it in the 5th edition of his book. (An earlier version.)
Straight combs are especially necessary in Warré hives. Since the hive dimensions are very small, the combs are tiny. If you let them build freely, the resulting burr combs do not have worker cells but drone cells or honey cells. That is a problem! Because a healthy broodnest is compact and egg shaped. To keep the warmth it must be roundish. Also worker cells must be uniform in shape and length. Uniformity of drone cells and honey cells does not matter, but it does when it comes to worker cells.
Bees do not know square shaped trees. So they get in trouble if thrown into a square shaped cavity as a Warré hive is. They get puzzled and produce burr comb. Angled comb. They start some combs and fill the rest with burr comb. I call it "fill comb". (Don't know the exact translation.) Anyway. Fill comb doesn't produce workers. It gets filled with honey. The honey never get touched again, usually. So it it useless space. The brood nest stretches from top to the bottom of the hive. Not compact.
Useless space in an already narrow hive can be deadly. For a hive to thrive it needs a lot of workers. Compare to the Perone hive concept (or Tim Ives). To get worker bees you need a lot of worker comb. Worker comb must be uniformly (of course with some variability) in shape and size.
The Warré hive is shrinked down to the absolut minimal size possible. (In my opinion.) It is deadly to produce burr comb in such a hive. If you use starter strips you get a sufficient amount of worker. In my experience two boxes of Warré brood combs are sufficient to build up a good colony. Those combs get filled with brood wall to wall. All the pollen and nectar goes in a third box, thus three boxes is a minimum size for a developed colony. You need more usually to prevent the broodnest from backflooding in a flow.
Such a minimalist hive does need a lot of comb care to work. Otherwise you end up with useless burr comb, a stretched broodnest and a weak hive population.
I never used a cheese wire in that decade of Warré beekeeping. It is completely unnecessary. This is the trick. You may know this from regular frame beekeeping: frames get fully drawn when supered. Means the comb is attached to the frame on all four sides. Bottom bar included. If you nadir a box with foundation at the bottom of the hive, you will notice that the frames will have a gap at the bottom. Well, if the foundation does not reach down to the topbar. Same with fixed comb.
If you use the original system and nadir the boxes, the bees build down to the floor. They do keep the beespace to the floor. If the comb ages a little they get rounded edges. Can't explain it better. Just compare edges of a fresh drawn natural comb and an old comb. Once the comb has rounded edges it doesn't get drawn further. Means: if you nadir they keep the beespace, start rounding the comb edges and never will attach it to the topbars when nadired later.
So if there is some connection between the boxes, you either a) nadired too early b) supered c) never have touched the hive. If you inspect the hive by dismantling it on a regularily basis - at least once a month, there is no connection either. Scrape the topbars with your hive tool. I call it: scratching the back of the Bien.
It must be highlighted, that even fixed comb needs a lot of care. Even in the old days, in the year 1568 as described in the first known German book about beekeeping by the author Nicol Jacobi, the comb in log hives was receiving a lot of care. You need to cull it here and there, straighten it here and there. Cut it, clean it and so forth. It is an old art. Or old craft.
As a side note: even those days 1568 comb was transfered between log hives to a) raise new queens b) feed hungry hives. It is all possible. But must be learned, because as all crafts it is all about skills. If you read the book it is interesting that there is nothing new in beekeeping since 1568.
Read the original book carefully when starting with Warré hives. Especially if you are about to go treatment free you need strong healthy hives. If your state needs inspectable combs, I'd go for frames. Not much difference between fixed comb and frames. Same for the hive. The main task for a hive is to keep the rain and winds out. No more. The rest is comb availability and management.
This is one of Émile Warrés apiaries. He got hundreds of hives.
This the Abbé Warré himself loading the extractor.
You can see the fixed combs in the box he holds. On the floor are the cages he used for extraction (and reuse of the comb). On the right the horizontal extractor he used.
Sharp comb edges (in a skep)

A couple of very good modifications, are these:
Instead of little nails, use the smallest hand staples. very easy to remove and replace. Such as Arrow# J 21,or equiv.
Use an inner cover of the same design as ordinary Langstroth hives. With a feeder hole. Up to a gallon feeder can be made from a clean paint can, and inverted right over the cluster during growth or winter store-up times. With vanishingly small chances of robbing or wasps/ants.
Revive the old fashioned tool, called a "burr comb tool". Seldom seen, or used with Lang hives, BUT... any topbar hive user will find it a neccesity. It will soon be much more your favored hive tool, than your regular flatbar type.
Another good modification for the U.S. is to just use the closest inch dimesions. Its hard to get quality metric measuring tools in the U.S.
Be creative! An 8 frame Lang box, will fit warre size topbars, I would like to make a "long warre box" someday. That would be a really strange modification!
And, yes, that feeder means don't use the "quilt". I guess that's another modification, and you'll find it saves work and the chore of replacing musty, mite infested sawdust or whatever from it. My bees seem to do better without the quilt.
1 important thing, is to make warre hives as level as you can, or the burr comb goes way up.
Put short legs under the floor, Just screw them right thru. and ants can be dusted without harming the bees. D.E is good. (Ants are a problem here!)
I hope these few changes I have hit upon will help you.

Perhaps in arizona it is too dry for the quilt to be of much use. In humid Toronto I consider it one of the most genius aspects of the hive design. In fact we add a similar thing to our langs in the winter.
In my second year of using the warré I'm starting to question the 2 boxes for brood. A good queen easily spreads into 3 boxes and I wouldn't be surprised to see some brood in 4 boxes. Bernhard, perhaps the bees they raise here have different growth capacities than in Germany and France?
Here in Western Washington the quilt box is absolutely essential!! There's no extra work involved and they don't get "musty" or "mite infested".
It rains year round and moisture in the hives is one of our biggest issues. The quilt box is a life saver! I use them on all of my hives, warrés or not.
Very interesting analysis Bernhard.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Queens over here do lay as much eggs as they do over the big pond. There is no difference, I suppose, in broodnest building capabilities.
A good queen lays brood in all four-five-six boxes. If you let her do that. But not all cells on those combs do contain brood in that case. All frames are mixed and muddled, brood, pollen, nectar.
By using an excluder and only two boxes for brood you press the broodnest into a very compact shape. Which is beneficial since the broodnest can be kept warmer with less worker bees. Also I think the hygiene is a bit better since less bees are needed to clean two boxes of brood comb.
Usually, when experimenting with splits, you can watch bees growing faster and stronger when put into an appropiate space. Compare the development of a three frame split in a single box (with just foundation or even empty frames with starter strips) with a split that has been put into two boxes of drawn comb. The single box usually grows faster and stronger.
Bees can get lost in too much comb. If there is comb, bees walk it. So the same amount of bees can fill one to five boxes. I did a lot of experiments. I wintered bees on five boxes and in Spring they filled almost every comb in that hive. It appeared super-strong at that time. As a test I shook and brushed down all the bees in that hive and compared it with a shake-down of a two storey hive. Well, it turned out to be the same amount of bees in both hives. Of course in a narrowed hive, the bees are tighter. As said: bees like to walk combs and distribute in the place given.
For small colonies, just started as a slit or: coming out of winter in Spring, and with weak colonies generally, it is much better to constrict them as much as possible. A lot of Dadant beekeepers do that here, too. They take out all the empty combs, narrowing the comb numbers to 5-6 combs. Closed by a follower board. I do the same in my long hives (T120 hives). In Spring that is.
By using an excluder and two boxes for brood, you can get into a good rythm with the queen. Two boxes hold enough cells for the queen to build up a good colony. I have to highlight, that I use 5.1mm foundation. So more cells per box. Anyway, the rythm. First there is not enough capped combs, but once eight of the combs get capped, I put them into the upper box. What happens is: the capped brood emerges, leaving empty cells behind. Young bees are the nectar processors and wax builders. If they emerge right under the honey chamber, the bees more readily take the honey supers. Building combs and processing nectar into honey. Foragers also land where the young bees are to get rid of their cargo. I do have a small entrance above the excluder. So bees do not ahve to cross the broodnest and excluder to store the honey.
When the capped brood emerges there are free cells to lay eggs in right at the top of the broodnest. So the queen works her way up. In my experience, if she can works upwards the bees tend to swarm lees. The egg laying rate corresponds with the rate young bees emerge. So within two weeks the lower box is capped and the upper box holds young brood. So every two weeks I swap bottom and top brood box. If bees find young brood at the main entrance, they again tend to swarm less. But forage like crazy.
Even with Carnolian bees I can get away with brood box swapping every two weeks to prevent swarming for another month. Brood box swapping doesn't work in every hive type, in my opinion this is due to the size of the brood combs, which are too big to allow a rythm like I described above.
The small combs of Warré hives prevent the bees from storing nectar at the sides of the broodnest. Instead it is directed upwards. If there is no attempt for side storing, the broodnest doesn't get flushed with nectar (backfilled) as quick as it can be found with larger combs. (Again: Carnolians, which tend to store nectar close and very close to the broodnest.) Of course at some stage of main flow, this happens in a Warré, too. This is the time where it is beneficial to remove the old queen and let them raise new ones.
So to summarize why I use only two brood boxes:
- broodnest is more compact: hygiene, warmth
- brood boxes swapping works this way: less swarming, good foraging mood
- emerging young bees (wax builders and nectar processors) emerge right under the honey supers
--> *supers are taken and foundation drawn readily
- egg laying pattern is in a continious upward movement
- young brood at the entrance: good foraring mood, less swarming
- you can find the queen more quickly
- you can find swarm cells more quickly
- queens lays a little less eggs per year and thus doesn't get exhaust as quickly
- honey is a little drier
- moving bees is easier, since there is less weight to transport
--> Warré hive boxes are really light (compared to...) and have a nice compact dimension for transportation
- splitting is easy. Split by the boxes. Done.
- combs are strictly divided into brood combs, pollen combs, honey combs. There are few combs that are mixed during the season, which makes it possible to manipulate hives very detailled.
- less hive boxes to get the same honey crop. Sometimes the restriction of the broodnest is the only way to get a crop at all. Some bees tend to eat up all they find and make brood from it. You end up with huge hives and little honey.
Of course there are drawbacks, too. You need to make sure that there is enough food on the hive all year round. Also the management is a little more intensive and time scheduled compared to lets say a Dadant hive. But if you find your rythm it can be done.
Im not even a Warreor, but really like your posts Bernhard. Very informative.
recent inspections, :
The 3rd box of brood is more 'muddled' than the first two boxes as it was formerly a honey box.

I will be harvesting my two hives supers this weekend, and was wondering something. Our 2-3 acres of alfalfa is just staring to bloom (yeah we got it planted really late) and my dad has to get a new sickle for our mower so he wont' be able to cut it til next weekend, meaning it will be blooming all of this week. (I checked and the weather looks lie partly cloudy, 70-80 degrees most of the week.)
I'm wondering if when I'm done harvesting, if I put another super on my strongest hive, would the fill it up in one week? I've got two hives, but only one of them looks like it has a large enough population to handle the job.
Also I've noticed that the past couple of days the bees have been gathering a bit of water from puddles nearby. What is this an indication of?

ECU Golf Finishes 4th At TPC Sawgrass
Two Pirates Shot 2 Under 70 To Have The Lowest Team Total On The Day
PONTE VERDA, FL - The East Carolina men's golf team fired a 1-over 289 Tuesday in the final round of the SeaBest Invitational to finish the spring-opening event in fourth-place.
The Pirates, who carded the lowest team score of the third round, finished with a final tally of 36-over 900 (306-305-289) at the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass.
Tennessee claimed the team title with a 15-over 879 (300-279-300), finishing four strokes ahead of second-place Texas A&M (289-296-298=883).
Coastal Carolina (307-289-302=898) finished two strokes in front of ECU to earn third-place.
Winthrop rounded out the top five with a 37-over 901 (297-303-301).
ECU freshman Grayson Murray carded a 2-under 70 Tuesday to move into the top 10 with a sixth-place finish in his first tournament as a Pirate.
Murray entered the final round tied for 19th at 10-over, but recorded an eagle and three birdies to shoot his second sub-par round of the tournament.
Junior Eric Brady also fired a 2-under 70 in the final round and finished tied for 14th after beginning the day tied for 38th.
Brady carded a 54-hole total of 9-over 225 (78-77-70).
He was even through 14 holes Tuesday and then birdied 15 and 16 before paring 17 and 18.
Junior Ryan Eibner finished one stroke behind his classmate, tied for 16th at 10-over 226 (76-78-72).
Eibner shot par in round three, birding holes 16 and 18 after standing at 2-over through 15 holes.
Freshman Jacob Hicks tied for 39th at 16-over 232 (82-73-77) and fellow rookie Stephen Lavenets came in tied for 55th at 20-over 236 (82-77-77).
Despite posting a third round 4-over 76, Tennessee's Rick Lamb claimed individual medalist honors with a 5-under 211 (70-65-76).
Lamb finished six strokes in front of Texas A&M's Greg Yates (72-75=70=217).
The Pirates will return to the links Feb. 22 at the Bayou City Collegiate Championship in Humble, Texas.

AJ Auxerre will be half way through the Ligue 1 season after Wednesday's matchup with Lyon. It has been a tough first half of the campaign for AJA as they have only managed to to win four league games. Despite being in the lower half of the tables, Auxerre have remained afloat in large part to the 10 draws they have earned through the first 18 games. With 22 league points, AJA is 9 back of league leading Lille (31 points) but are seven points clear of the relegation zone.
At the halfway point, AJA is led by Benoit Pedretti with five goals and four assists in league followed by Valter Birsa with four goals.
AJA have also concluded their run in the UEFA Champions League. Having been drawn into the 'Group of Death' with Real Madrid, AC Milan and Ajax Amsterdam, Auxerre were able to win once over Ajax but could not manage a result against two of the best teams in the world in Real Madrid and AC Milan.
Auxerre look for a stronger second half as they aim to keep the distinction of being the only club in Ligue 1 to have never been relegated to the second division.
Good luck in the second half Auxerre!

Guest editorial misrepresented information to Pequot Lakes residents
I think it is unfair for one individual to misrepresent information to the people of Pequot Lakes about a situation that happened more than 10 years ago. I would like to take this opportunity to state what actually happened with regard to the orderly annexation of Sibley Township into the city proper of Pequot Lakes.
I was the township clerk at that time in our history. Under Mayor Jack Schmidt, a portion of the township was annexed by the city in order for a developer to start Field of Dreams on County Road 17.
Another neighboring city took another parcel from the township, so the township decided it wanted to be a part of the community with whom it associated its residence. The township contacted a lawyer who was knowledgeable in this area of state of Minnesota law. The township was given information on how to proceed.
The city was approached and a committee was formed with equal members from the township and city. They met on many occasions and drew up an agreement according to state statutes. They were told that commercial areas would have to be gradually brought up to the city commercial rate.
At the time, as there was a difference in the tax rate of the city and the township, that difference would remain in place, but any tax increases would be applied equally. They were also informed that this agreement could not be reversed.
The township had an open meeting to inform its residents; I do not know how the city informed its people. A document was drawn up and presented to the township, which they signed, and then was given to the city.
If there were questions by city residents, these should have been addressed before the city signed the agreement. The township could not have gone forward with the annexation without the approval of the city.
To lay blame at this time on either party is NOT in the best interest of our community. All those involved did what they thought was best according to the information they were given.
Yes, Mr. Schmidt brought this agreement to the forefront. To lay blame on this council for not taking action is untrue. The present city council had to acquire the proper information to proceed in a proper and legal manner. Changing something of this nature cannot be done overnight; these things take time. The state of Minnesota has to be involved and proper steps have to be taken.
To publish the taxes of the present council and lay blame on them is ridiculous. These people were not even involved at the time of the annexation. The present council has proceeded in the appropriate manner to come up with a solution.
How can one person take a community, twist the truth, and split it in two instead of being patient and letting the current council do its work? Mr. Schmidt was assured that steps were being taken to resolve this issue; procedures must be followed.
Mr. Schmidt also stated in his guest editorial that I, Cathy Malecha, saved money on my taxes because of this annexation. This statement is false. I have resided within the boundaries of the original city of Pequot Lakes since mid-2002; my taxes were based upon the city rate.
Now, once again, because of Mr. Schmidt's editorial, residents of the entire city have been misinformed — how unfortunate!
(Cathy Malecha is a Pequot Lakes resident.)

More than 300 days of tropical sunshine a year all but guarantee you'll have a sun-soaked stay in Puerto Vallarta.
The Destination
Playa Conchas Chinas is not far from downtown Puerto Vallarta, but a world away from the spring breakers and mega-resorts. In fact, previous visitors to Puerta Vallarta may be surprised that away from the noisy strip, they can actually hear the waves. Rocky cliffs and secluded coves make up the shoreline, with shells ground to a fine sand by the tumbling waves. This sophisticated community leverages its to-die-for scenery to attract an affluent crowd and countless fashion shoots.
The Digs
Quinta Maria Cortez is built into a steep hillside overlooking the beach and Banderas Bay. In sharp contrast to the sprawling hotels farther north, this villa-style bed and breakfast has only seven suites, meaning guests aren't just a room number. A warm, eclectic mix of Mexican antiques, local art, and open-air living areas lends a "Mexiterranean" vibe to the private-entry accommodations, many of which feature kitchenettes, bay-view balconies, and air-conditioned bedrooms. Even with 320 days of tropical sunshine per year, a cool breeze coming off the water keeps open-air spaces the perfect temperature—no thermostat needed.
The Diversions
Start your day with a gourmet breakfast under a shady palapa before venturing down to the secluded shore (no pushy beach vendors here). Or, bask in the sun on the rooftop—"among the best sunset-watching spots in town," according to Frommer's. When you want to cool off, consider a dip in the small pool or snorkeling in Banderas Bay. Quinta Maria Cortez also offers a range of spa treatments.
Yes, you're away from rowdy revelers, but the party isn't too far. In fact, it's just a five-minute cab ride (or a 15-minute walk down the beach) to all the action. Check out Puerto Vallarta's dining scene with discounts at numerous fine restaurants—El Arrayán, No Way José!, Barcelona Tapas, Archie's Wok, Red Cabbage Café, Trio Restaurant Bar & Café, and Vitea—then return to your suite, slipping between the crisp, white sheets and drifting off to the sound of crashing waves.
