I have a hive on a residential property. It has never bothered anyone in the neighborhood. There is plenty of Kudzu & Honeysuckle there. That is why I put the hive there. It is very strong. Right after I put the bees there someone took the top off of it. There is a block on top so I know thats is what happened. I put it back and tacked a NO TRESPASSING sign on the hive. I also installed a deer camera to get pics of the INTRUDERS. Nothing happened for 2 months so, I took camera in fear of it being found and stolen. I have since removed the honey (Box was full) and Saturday I drove by to check it and the hive was knocked over, damaged back, bottom board tossed 4 ft.
How do I know its kids? There were about 1 dozen rocks 8 inches in diameter or better within a 2 feet radius & a big stick (limb)... I had planned to go today in the afternoon and fix the hive but, woke up to a drizzle of rain so at 6:15 I had to leave home and go 7 miles to fix it. Thats when I found the honey super was busted and 4 frames were also... I had to run to my beehouse and get parts and put it all back together... It was sad what they had done to these bees. The bees were still there and still a huge colony which I will split next year.
Question: Whats your thoughts?
What should I do?
I know the kids that are doing this... I am putting camera back up again... I am in Alabama 55 - 82 degree weather this week...

Hello and Good Morning,
I'm a first year beek and one of our two hives swarmed last week. We caught the swarm and placed it within two new deeps that I hastily prepared. Yesterday I checked both the swarm hive and the original hive. Both appeared to be strong (and with approximately equal numbers of bees) and I saw our old marked queen laying eggs in the new swarm hive.
My question is as follows:
Is it possible to recombine the two hives back together in their original location or should I just get used to the fact that I now have three hives? I don't currently have enough honey supers for three hives (and I've maxed out my bee equipment budget for this year) and frankly, two hives was plenty for me to handle as a first year keeper. The thought of three is a bit overwhelming.
And, if I can't combine back in the original location, can I combine the two hives in the new location (which is where the swarm hive is currently located)?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

More Workers Stranded, Not Paid
Most heading home from Aspen Heights site Friday night
***UPDATE MONDAY 10:01 P.M.*** Workers are still waiting to see payment for their work on the Aspen Heights development that has replaced a local mobile home park. Monday, the owners of Aspen Heights released a statement saying they are working things out. They say they have spoken with the subcontractors to get information about the dozens of unpaid workers. As far as the company knows, all of those workers have found a way home. ***ORIGINAL STORY*** Dozens more out-of-state workers said Friday they hadn't been paid for weeks of work on the same construction site already at the center of a controversy this week. As of Friday night, after meetings with Aspen Heights site management, most of those workers were finally headed back home. The construction site is located off Grindstone Parkway, on Pondersosa Drive and Nifong south of Columbia. Framers from Mississippi, Memphis, Indiana and New York said they were working for a Texas-based company called R-Energy, LLC on a site run by Breckenridge Group - to build a housing complex called Aspen Heights. ABC 17 News learned Friday that Aspen Heights had terminated the contract with R-Energy, LLC because of a concern over the company's performance. When R-Energy, LLC left the job, they didn't pay the subcontractor workers - leaving them with no money for food, a hotel or a way home after weeks of work. An R-Energy representative passed our request for an interview along to spokesman Keith Barkley, who never responded to ABC 17 News. Anthony Jones of Memphis said all he was getting to eat was bologna sandwiches and cookies at work. "I could have stayed home [in Tennessee] and did what I'm doing now," he said. Jones also said he estimates R-Energy owes him $4000 in pay and travel expenses. But the workers aren't the only ones saying they've been taken for a ride. Workers were spread across at least three hotels in Columbia. The Econo Lodge on I-70 Drive Southwest told ABC 17 News it was owed roughly $27,000 for rooms in R-Energy, LLC's name. "If I have to, I'm coming to the mayor of this city then if I have to go further I'm going to the President of the United States and make sure this job gets shut down," said Roosevelt Johnson, also of Memphis, Friday outside the Aspen Heights site. Aspen Heights spokesman Stuart Watkins released the following statement Friday afternoon after the site supervisor met with some of the workers: "Aspen Heights is currently addressing the situation regarding payments between the contractor ER Energy LLC [sic] and its affiliates. Since Thursday, Aspen Heights has requested information from ER Energy LLC's [sic] regarding their outstanding financial obligations. Once information is received from ER Energy LCC [sic], contractual obligations will be reviewed and resolved as soon as possible. In addition, Aspen Heights is currently reaching out to workers affected by this unfortunate situation and providing them resources to return home or address urgent needs." A group of about one dozen workers discussed the situation Friday just off the construction site. They say they first realized they weren't getting paid when they completed a structure to plan specifics and satisfaction this week but never got money. An ABC 17 News investigation earlier this week showed one subcontractor may not even exist anymore, after luring 50 laborers and framers from the Atlanta area. Most of the men told us they were not framers, rather laborers who answered a Craigslist ad from a temp agency. Those workers went back to Atlanta Wednesday evening. The subcontractor, Black Sparta, LLC has never responded to a request for comment - because its website has been taken down, its phone number has been disconnected and the address listed for the business is an extended stay hotel. A class-action lawsuit may be in the works from Everything Staffing, the temp agency, and the workers. ABC 17 News has confirmed one complaint against Aspen Heights filed with the state attorney general's office. The state labor department said this week it couldn't comment on complaints until a violation was found. Calls to OSHAA have not been returned.

See the current thread "how to move from deeps to mediums". When you first start out it would make more sense to run all mediums. If you change your mind you can just convert the medium brood comb to honey comb supers and add deep brood chambers.
On the other hand you cannot as easily switch to mediums from deeps. Not nearly as hard as putting toothpaste back in the tube, but still a lot more complicated than just adding a second size.
I run all mediums. Three mediums for brood and the bees, everything above the third box is honey. I do not use excluders

I picked up a nuc on Friday. Moved it into a hive on Sunday. The bottom of the nuc was covered with chalkbrood "mummies", lots of something that looked black and granular, a hive beetle, and some larvae that I think is hive beetle, but could be wax moth.
I know hives usually take care of chalkbrood themselves, but will a nuc be ok? Anything I can do to help them out?

Ward elected assistant majority leader, selected to serve as vice chair of Capital Investment Committee
State Rep. John Ward, DFL-Brainerd, was elected by his fellow legislators to serve as an assistant majority leader in the new DFL majority.
While the state faces a number of challenges, starting with a $1.1 billion budget deficit, Ward is ready to get to work and help the new DFL majority govern effectively.
"I'm honored and humbled by the confidence my colleagues have shown in me, and I'm ready to roll up my sleeves, work together and get the job done," Ward said in a news release.
"We have to balance our budget honestly and responsibly once and for all, with no more gimmicks, while ensuring that the budget funds our priorities and positions our state for long-term prosperity," he said.
Ward was also selected to serve as the vice chair of the House Capital Investment Committee and as a member on the Jobs and Economic Development Policy and Finance, Legacy, Public Safety Finance and Policy, and Rules and Legislative Administration committees.
"I'm very pleased to be serving on these committees and working closely on the issues that are important to our area," Ward said. "We need a robust bonding bill to both get construction folks back on the job and address our crumbling infrastructure. Good roads, bridges, wastewater infrastructure, college facilities and the like will help our communities and businesses over the long haul.
"As our economy continues to slowly recover from the Great Recession, the Jobs and Economic Development Committee must continue to work to keep our economy moving in the right direction. I look forward to also serving on the Legacy and Public Safety committees to make sure the taxpayer dollars from the Legacy Amendment are spent wisely, and that our beautiful Minnesota communities remain safe," he said.
The legislative session is scheduled to begin Jan. 8, 2013.
Ward will be District 10A state representative. That district includes Nisswa, Pequot Lakes, Jenkins, Breezy Point and Gail Lake, Jenkins, Ideal, Pelican, Mission, Center and Lake Edward townships, Brainerd, Baxter and Unorganized Territory.
"There's a lot to be done, but if we work hard and work together, we can make Minnesota an even better state," Ward said. "We're ready to get to work."

From the top of the Silver Queen you can hike to the Peak of Crested Butte Mountain, have a picnic or simply ride the lift back down. The Red Lady Express carries bikes to access the many trails and roads on Crested Butte Mountain. If that's sounds a little too adventurous, just browse along the downtown area with its many restaurants and boutique-style shops…and for the culturally-inclined, there's a vibrant arts and theater scene with performances in dance, music, theater and visual arts exhibitions scheduled year-round.

It's a nice change of pace from the outdoor excitement – with events and activities for kids and their parents, too!
Crested Butte Summer Events & Festivals
There's a saying in the mountains that says, "I came for the winter, but I stayed because of the summer." Come summer time, the trails, rivers and peaks surrounding Crested Butte explode with a bevy of activity. Enjoy fishing, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, golfing or just basking in the Colorado sun … just a few of the things you can do when the snow melts. Crested Butte also plays host to a wide range of themed events coming up this summer. Check out Crested Butte Events web-sites for details which will delight both foodies and non-foodies alike – including restaurant weeks and a wine & food festival, plus a special bike week, music festival, arts festival and so much more!

A great location, close to a metro station. The first day, the proprietor was waiting for us with two other guys. They explained the house rules but also answered all the questions about Rome. They were very helpful. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great it was raining all the time, but this didn't stop us to visit all great attractions in Rome. In the morning there was a café next to the apartment complex for a breakfast. The breakfast wasn't much but we aren't such a great eaters, so it was perfect. As later we discovered that most Rome citizens don't eat much for breakfast. The apartment was great you had several rooms with bathroom. Our room was close to a road so you could hear cars all the time, but after a long day visiting attractions you were just knock out at the end of the day. The apartment was close to several bus stations and metro station, this was great because from there on we could go anywhere. The stay was really great, I recommend it!
Excelente ubicación junto a una parada de metro, en un barrio con todos los servicios donde se puede comer a mejor precio que en el centro. La habitación es básica pero limpia. Sergio fue muy amable y nos dejó devolver la llave por la tarde, ya que nuestro vuelo salía a las 19 h. Nos dio muy buenas indicaciones y siempre estaba disponible por whatsapp. Lo recomendamos.
Très bon accueil de Sergio qui nous a fourni de nombreuses infos et des plans pour visiter. La chambre pour deux personnes est très bien. Pour quatre elle doit être un peu juste en surface. Le petit déjeuner au bar est minimum (une boisson et une viennoiserie). Dans le même appartement il y a 3 autres chambres. La situation est parfaite à 100 mètres du métro "Re di Roma", ce qui met le centre historique à quelques minutes. Nous sommes très satisfait de ce logement.
La estancia en Desiderio di Roma no ha podido ser más satisfactoria. Sergio es muy atento, nada más llegar nos ofreció un mapa de la ciudad, nos explicó el horario de los buses, del metro e informaciòn sobre los alrrededores. Tuvimos problemas y necesitamos entrar a la habitación más tarde, no mos puso proboema en ningún momento. Recomendable 100%
Si quereis visitar Roma os recomiendo este alojamiento. Esta al lado del metro y a menos de media hora andando del Coliseo. Nos atendieron estupendamente, siempre disponibles para cualquier información desde que hicimos la reserva y muy pendientes de nosotros una vez alli. Nada más llegar nos informaron perfectamente de todo lo importante de la ciudad y nos dieron dos mapas. La habitación es pequeña pero para dormir y ducharse con buenas comunicaciones es perfecto, todo muy limpio, silencioso y con aire acondicionado. El desayuno es en el bar de abajo, un café y un dulce, esta muy bueno y para desayunar es más que suficiente. Contratamos el servicio de tranfer para la vuelta y a antes de las 6:00 am que era la hora acordada ya nos estaban esperando abajo con un coche enorme y muy cómodo.

Great place with perfect location, near metro station and colosseum. Hosts are really helpful. We spent perfect week at this location. Room was really nice, and clean. We would like to thank Sergio and his son for this oportunity and recommend this place to anyone who will be visiting Rome.
Everything was very good!
I have already been here in 2012 and so we decided to book this B&B again.
It is perfectly located. 5 minutes away (by foot) from the Termini and 10-15 minutes (by foot) from the Coloseum. There is a metro station when you step out of the door. We didn`t use the metro at all, because we love to explore everything by foot. The room is typical italian style, old but nice. The shower head is a little bit to weak / low and the sink of the wash-bowl was not working well, but these are the only negative points. We got a breakfast coupon for a bar close to the B&B, where we could get a cafe and a cornetto in the morning. Sergio is very friendly and we loved to stay here.
We were very impressed. Very clean and tidy accommodation. Extremly nice and helpful hosts (Sergio & son). We highly recommend this B&B. Gladly again. Many thanks to Sergio and his son.

I stayed with my friend in this lovely place that was just a short walk to the colosseum and many other historical places in Rome. It was in a convenient spot right next to a metro so we could go anywhere in the city easily. The staff were very friendly and provided us with everything we needed to know while staying in Rome. Would definitely stay again

Excellent Place, perfect for our needs here in Vienna.
We are six doctors who have a meeting every year for discussions. Nice big kitchen suitibale for all of us and our discussions, but also bedroms en modern bathrooms. A calm area, nice park and not too long walk to the city.
Gisella is a very nice and kind hostess.
We can strongly recommend this fancy apartment!

Just returned from four great easter days in Wienna.
The apartment fully met our expectations. Bright, clean, spacious, quiet and perfect location.
Gisella was a very helpful host. Told us about things to see, good restaurants and how to get around.
She also helped to get a new bed. The sofa was not very plesant for our tall young peple, travelling with us. So a suggestion would be to change the sofa to a real bed :-)
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Superb Apartment, best decision ever to switch from hotel to apartment.
Gisella is the ideal host, very friendly, good tips and helpful where needed.
Vienna is a very nice city and can be reached from the apartment easily with public transportation, even after midnight when only the underground service is available (10 min walk). Thanks to this apartment we enjoyed Vienna twice and we will definitely come back.
My friends and I had a very pleasant stay in Vienna. The appartment has a lot of charme. A nice old building, but the accommodation itself is modern, spacy and quiet. Gisella informed us nicely about all relevant aspects. We can highly recommend the appartment(s).

clean and tidy flat, good location (next to tramway station and public garden) and a nice and helpful host
Great location. Very quiet neighbourhood within walking distance to the city and close to hop on/hop off bus stop. We arrived at 6am after a long flight from Australia and although we had paid for the extra night, we were grateful that Gisella met us and let us into the apartment, rather than waiting until the office opened at 8.30am. The apartment was clean and tidy, perfect for a visit to Vienna.
A very good living and a fresh apartment . Good standard and a good price.
Location was good and it is well connected by metro .
It's a very bright flat and I spent there 5 beautiful days ! Nice staying ! It was clean, spacious, modern and in a very confortable location and in a pacific area ! Moreover it was well equipped ! Next time I return to Wien, I'm sure I'll chose this appartement !!!
Good job Gisella, thank you ! :)

WHY AREN'T MORE WOMEN IN SCIENCE? Top Researchers Debate the Evidence. Edited by Stephen J. Ceci and Wendy M. Williams. xx + 254 pp. American Psychological Association, 2007. $59.95.
MOTHERHOOD, THE ELEPHANT IN THE LABORATORY: Women Scientists Speak Out. Edited by Emily Monosson. xii + 219 pp. Cornell University Press, 2008. $25.
What is the most reliable and current knowledge about men's participation in domestic labor and child care? Should more men be doing that sort of work? Is it because they have less aptitude than women for managing the home and family that they take less responsibility in the domestic sphere, or are men simply less interested in such activities? Might innate differences in ability explain the unsettling statistics, or is culture to blame? Put another way, is society holding boys and men back? Or are they perhaps ill equipped intellectually?
It is significant that the two books under review here—Why Aren't More Women in Science? and Motherhood, the Elephant in the Laboratory—do not ask these questions, just as national granting agencies do not fund research into male ability to perceive body temperature within a half degree by touch alone, nor do universities hire faculty who meta-analyze male cognitive abilities in caregiving. Yet we as a society do support endless studies of sex differences in spatial perception—the ability to determine whether a two-dimensional piece of paper can be folded into a three-dimensional shape, and the like. The crucial question is, Why?
In Why Aren't More Women in Science?, Cornell University psychologists Stephen Ceci and Wendy Williams propose to bring together "the most reliable and current knowledge about women's participation in science," which they interpret narrowly as consisting principally of the literature on cognitive sex differences. In so doing, they miss much that is exciting and new in the field of gender and science. Research into the question of women's underrepresentation in science has at least three dimensions: the participation of women in science, gender in the cultures of science and gender in the results of science. This volume does not begin to open up this "results" dimension, best described as "gendered innovations" in science.
The consideration of gendered innovations turns away from the narrow focus on women's cognitive abilities (the science reported so prominently in the Ceci and Williams book) and instead asks new questions—for example, How has human knowledge, including knowledge of the natural world, been shaped by the exclusion of women from science and by the gender system that supports that exclusion? Several government granting agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health and the European Commission, now require that requests for funding address whether, and in what sense, sex and gender are relevant to the objectives and methodologies of a particular research proposal. This is where the action is today. We as a society will not solve the problem of how to increase the numbers of women in science until we understand the roots of their systemic exclusion. This is where we should be investing our scarce resources and the power of scientific inquiry.
Readers who, like me, have grown tired of the "Larry Summers industry"—the many analyses of former Harvard University president Lawrence H. Summers's 2005 comments on women's scientific abilities—should be forewarned that Ceci and Williams dig once again into Summers's explanations for the low numbers of women in science. In his remarks, Summers noted that the "unfortunate truth" about why so few women are aeronautical engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or chemists at the University of California, Berkeley, is that not nearly as many women as men are performing at the highest level in math and science. He added that women also shy away from "high-powered" jobs requiring an 80-hour workweek.
Several chapters in this volume focus on the issue of math performance, and how scores for both men and women follow a bell curve, with men more highly represented in the high-end tail—the top 1 percent. It is important to remember that data used in these analyses come primarily from the Scholastic Aptitude Test taken by high school students or from the Graduate Record Examination. The authors of these chapters tend to privilege the notion that brilliance in math or science careers is rooted primarily in cognitive abilities—and not in educational preparation, the availability of research funding, personal persistence, insight, creativity or serendipity.
Later in this volume, we learn that, in fact, particular groups of females outscore males in all areas of math. Japanese and Taiwanese girls perform better in math than North American boys; and Singaporean girls beat out everyone else—by a full standard deviation. In light of these findings it is indeed remarkable that the Harvard math department has had on staff not one woman full professor since its founding in 1638. If for a moment we accept Summers's argument that hiring at world-class institutions follows cognitive ability, we might expect Harvard's math department to include at least one Singaporean, Japanese or Taiwanese woman among its tenured faculty.
Despite its focus on cognitive factors, the book by Ceci and Williams does contain a number of thoughtful chapters that analyze broad social and cultural forces keeping women from rising to the top in science and math (working at the second level of analysis mentioned above). Virginia Valian nicely summarizes work on how to evaluate what constitutes talent in science and how our mental codifications of gender skew our perceptions and evaluations of men and women. Carol Dweck documents that people who believe that mathematical talent is innate, fixed and unchanging perform worse on tests and in school than those who see it as malleable and susceptible to improvement with hard work and learning. Janet Hyde discusses how schools, parents and other sociocultural forces shape math and science abilities and career choices. Diane Halpern illustrates how biological and psychosocial influences affect each other.
Halpern's "take-home message"—that "what is needed is a society in which sex roles are more equalized so that men share in child care and other caregiving"—provides a nice segue to the second volume under review here: Motherhood, the Elephant in the Laboratory, edited by environmental toxicologist and mother of two Emily Monosson. In these heartrending essays, women who are well-trained and well-situated in science detail the compromises they have made in order to raise children and be scientists.
That most of us have heard such stories many times does not make them any less moving. Individual observations are also backed up by data—the scientific evidence demanded by Ceci and Williams. For example, in her essay "Reflections of a Female Scientist with Outside Interests," Christine Seroogy cites research conducted by Mary Ann Mason and Marc Goulden at the University of California, Berkeley, as documentation for her claim that "women who have children soon after receiving their graduate degrees are much less likely to achieve tenure than their male counterparts." Further, numerous studies have now revealed the micro-inequalities (cumulative disadvantages) that squeeze active parents (mostly mothers) out of the laboratory.
Motherhood, the Elephant in the Laboratory makes evident the institutional structures that block parents' careers, but, more important, it reveals the myriad ways in which male partners of mothers don't shoulder their fair share of the physical and psychological labor associated with child care. What's going on with these men? Some of them probably think that because they are more established in their careers or make more money than their partners, they are justified in leaving domestic drudgery to the women who were once their intellectual companions.
But, as this book also shows, a number of women are complicit in allowing men to shirk their responsibility. As one woman put it, after the birth of her son, both she and her partner "slipped into the pattern of treating his workday as more important than mine." Another woman reports that her husband's job is more stable than hers, and "as a result, we protect his job usually at the expense of mine." These are women who will find it hard to dig out and get back on track as children grow and eventually leave home. Playing second fiddle to one's partner becomes self-reinforcing—his job is more important because it is allowed to be.
The women who succeed—and there are many in this volume—are those whose partners take an equal share of the responsibility for raising a family and making the household function. One couple approaches their family the same way that they do their scientific careers: as a team. Raising children in a two-career family is not easy, and it requires that men become team players, getting to know their children well—what they are doing and what concerns they have. And it requires that men become experts in childhood disease, physical injury, laundering fine fabric and cooking nutritious meals. One assumes they have the cognitive ability to do so.
Motherhood, the Elephant in the Laboratory would be nicely supplemented by a companion volume written by fathers. Fathers who are involved parents and companions encounter many of the same problems that mothers do (although these days one often encounters a daddy "bonus" and mommy "penalty"—colleagues are impressed by men bouncing babies on their knees but worried by women who do the same).
All in all, both of these books are highly readable. But what we need to understand is where these problems come from. Why are we a culture that presumes that women are cognitively frail when it comes to science but empathetically robust with respect to child rearing? We can trace women's structural exclusions from science back to the 18th century, when Western societies produced cultural ideals and economic imperatives such that the power and privilege of the scientific domain fell to men, whereas the home spun its sphere of intimacy around idealized and nurturing females. These divisions in power, cultural endowments and cognitive abilities pervade modern institutions and assumptions. But they are historically wrought and can be changed. We'd best get to it.

New Bill Allows California College Students to Download Core Textbooks for Free

(Source: maxupdates.tv)
Thanks to two new bills, there is financial relief at last
Whether you're racking up tuition fees now or still paying student loans after graduation, you know one thing is for sure: College is expensive. To make matters worse, the spending doesn't end at a semester of classes -- there's books that need to be purchased as well, and they're worth more than a little bit of pocket change.
But if you're going to school in California, a bit of relief has finally come your way in the form of two bills: SB 1052 and SB 1053.
Both bills, which were crafted by Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), will allow California college students to download up to 50 core textbooks for free in
the form of e-books
. The e-books are for lower-division courses and are for classes at the University of California, California State University and California Community Colleges.
More specifically, SB 1052 allows for the development of the e-books and the creation of the California Open Education Resources Council for e-book approvals. SB 1053 has developed the California Digital Open Source Library to store the new e-books.
"Many students are paying more than $1,000 every year on their textbooks, sometimes having to choose between buying the books they need or paying for food and other living expenses," said Steinberg.
The new e-book bills were signed by Governor Jerry Brown on Thursday. They are expected to go into effect starting in the 2013-14 school year.
Digital textbooks are certainly becoming the new way of learning in institutions around the globe. This new form of educational offerings was further boosted by Apple earlier this year, who released
iBooks 2 and iBooks Author
that allow for the creation of digital textbooks and makes them available for purchase on the iPad.

9 Show Highlights From ISC West 2014
SSI Editor-in-Chief Scott Goldfine reviews his top highlights from ISC West 2014.
By Scott Goldfine · April 10, 2014
ISC West 2014 wrapped last week in Las Vegas. The days were filled with seeing new products, exploring new trends, and hearing about the latest happenings from tops in the industry.
Listed are a few highlights that have stood out to me since the event:
- Tri-Ed Marketing Manager Lynette Baranowski provided an update on the wholesale distributor's new website (with e-commerce later in the year) and soon-to-be-announced new branch openings. Although the company does not usually exhibit products at its booth, an exception was made for the Nest thermostat, which was attracting a good deal of attention.
- One of my favorite industry people, Michael Joseph, told me the transition following the recent acquisition of Mace Central Station by Security Partners is progressing nicely. Joseph is general manager of the company, whose CEO Pat Egan was honored during the week with his induction into the SSI Industry Hall of Fame.
- Jack Fernandes, president and CEO of American Fibertek Inc. (afi) told me about the firm's new products released at the show: a hybrid fiber transmission line to ease analog to IP surveillance; an updated version of the Pilot video/event management software (VMS); enhanced analog fiber products; and a series of multimode to single mode fiber converters.
- Caught up with Stanley Security's Martin Guay, vice president, commercial – North America. He told me that roughly two years in from the acquisition of his former company, Niscayah, that things are progressing nicely within Stanley and that a number of vertical markets are excelling.
- Spent some time with PSA Security Network Director of Marketing Lisa Miller, who informed me the upcoming PSA-TEC event in May is running well ahead of last year for pre-registrations. SSI serves as the Elite Media Sponsor for the conference, one of my favorite industry functions that I have attended for more than 15 years.
- Speaking of PSA, one of the co-op's former employees and industry friend, Marcus Batten, told me he is now a national sales consultant for Allegion based out of Houston.
- Other key booth stops included Acadian Monitoring Services, Byte Brothers, Channel Vision, DoorKing, George Risk Industries (GRI), Reconyx and Zwipe.
- Also met with long-time industry friend and SSI contributor Bob Grossman of RG&A consultants who recently began working on the publication's newly introduced Bench Test product reviews department. Be on the lookout for his assessment of the HDcctv 2.0 press conference he attended.
- As a final shout out, special thanks to the SSI Editorial Advisory Board whose members participated in an annual breakfast and brainstorming session that will help us continue to deliver the industry's most relevant, credible and enjoyable trade publication.
Be sure to check out SSI's comprehensive coverage of the event.

ok, now that I have 100 pounds of wax sitting around, I would like to hear from some of the candle makers on here. This is all great cappings wax, so I do intend on selling the candles.
What is the best way to make candles? Wicking, size of wick with different size candles, plastic vs. metal molds, best selling styles, cheapest supplies ect, ect.
Also, I bought a $3.00 crock pot from goodwill with a tempature adjustment, and intend on drilling a hole near the bottom and attaching a spigot for good wax control/flow. How well will this work?

Tally of Job Creation By Bain Proves Vexing
How many jobs did Mitt Romney help create at Bain Capital ?
By his count, and that of his presidential campaign, the answer is more than 100,000. The calculation comes primarily from counting every position added until now at four successful investments, including Staples Inc. and Sports Authority Inc., by the private-equity firm Mr. Romney founded.
Steven N. Kaplan, a finance professor at the University of Chicago who studies private equity, used another approach: counting 100% of the jobs gained and lost at Bain companies, but only until Mr. Romney left the firm in 1999. By that measure, Mr. Kaplan concluded that Mr. Romney had created "tens of thousands" of jobs.
The different methods of counting underscore what many experts say is the futility of trying to pin a number on something that is essentially unquantifiable. Creating jobs also wasn't the aim of Bain or other private-equity firms, which measure success by returns produced for investors.
The question of jobs created by Bain, however, has become a centerpiece of his campaign, used to buttress the contention that Mr. Romney would make a better steward of the economy than President Barack Obama.
It also has become the source of hot dispute as the Obama campaign has begun airing ads asserting that, far from creating U.S. jobs, Bain Capital under Mr. Romney was a leader in sending jobs abroad—a finding Bain and the Romney campaign reject and that Mr. Romney heatedly disputed in a campaign stop in Colorado on Tuesday.
Assigning jobs numbers to private-equity firms has been a fairly rare exercise among researchers, though several academics have studied the topic in the past few years to gauge the economic impact of the industry.
As a result, there is no widely accepted accounting measure. Some academic experts said the Romney campaign's 100,000-jobs count is flawed, because it gives Bain all the credit, even though other investors also played a role in the four key companies, and includes jobs added long after Mr. Romney left Bain in 1999.
"I don't think that an investor should get credit for the jobs created beyond the ones where an investor has a position in the company," said John M. Abowd, a labor economist at Cornell University who donated to the Obama 2012 campaign.
He suggests yet another way: Give Mr. Romney and Bain credit for a share of jobs created proportional to Bain's ownership stake in its investments at the time. Because Bain held minority stakes in all four firms, and sold out years ago, that method would produce a far lower total—less than 1,500.
He said his alternative isn't one an economist would use, but, like the Romney camp's count, is a common-sense approach to the topic.
But several other experts said Mr. Abowd's method contained its own flaws, including that it fails to account for the value of guidance offered by Mr. Romney and other Bain executives. A Romney campaign official echoed that criticism, saying the method was an "unorthodox" approach that implied every passive stockholder is a job creator, giving no additional credit to firms such as Bain that actively assist companies in which they invest.
The Romney campaign declined to comment further on its own calculations.
Mr. Romney often has been more careful than his supporters in presenting his job-creation claims. He gave the 100,000-jobs number at a January Republican primary debate but later agreed that many jobs were added after he left Bain, saying: "And we're only a small part of that, by the way.…We were investors to help get them going."
The example of Staples, a clear Bain success, shows how slippery these calculations can be.
Mr. Romney includes in his tally the total Staples head count today, about 88,000 jobs. Securities filings show Bain owned 7.3% of the office-supply retailer when it went public in 1989 and had sold out by early 1992, when Staples had 5,300 employees.
Thomas Stemberg, Staples's founder and former CEO, said Mr. Romney's contribution to Staples came "from his personal advice, input and efforts, not his money." Mr. Stemberg, a major backer of the Romney campaign, said he would give Mr. Romney credit for 100% of Staples's 88,000 jobs.
By Mr. Kaplan's method, Mr. Romney should be credited with the 43,000 jobs Staples had when Mr. Romney left Bain in 1999. The weighted average count would be more like 250 jobs—a total Mr. Stemberg called "absurd."
"There's no way to settle the argument" about apportioning credit for investments made more than two decades ago, said Steven J. Davis, a University of Chicago economics professor and a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a right-leaning think tank. "Bain Capital probably had something to do with the early success of Staples, but there were a lot of things that happened along the way that helped Staples grow that Bain had nothing to do with."
Mr. Davis, co-author of a paper on private equity's employment role, said the reality is more complex than simple scorecards, and that the industry overall helps the economy by accelerating both job creation and destruction.
Little noticed amid the debate is that the four companies at the core of Mr. Romney's 100,000-jobs claim were relatively insignificant in the context of his 15-year Bain career. The total invested in all four was about $25 million, or about 2% of the money Bain invested during Mr. Romney's tenure. The other two, in addition to Staples and Sports Authority, are Bright Horizons Family Solutions LLC, a day-care provider, with about 19,000 employees, and Steel Dynamics Inc., a steel producer, with about 6,500 workers.

text: Hello All, I found this site while hunting for some helpful instructions. I just picked up a 1996 z71 from the original owner a few days ago. Funny thing was, I wasn't actually looking to get a truck. I was meeting a guy to look at a set of dana 44 axles for my jeep cherokee when we started talking about how I wanted my cherokee to be a weekend vehicle and I want to find a good truck as a DD, and then this guy was looking for a cherokee as a project and he has 3 trucks. The rest was history. I figured I can build a cherokee at anytime that I want. Anyways, My cherokee was pretty sweet, but having a truck is a must right now............especially with a family, home, and yard. The z71 is all stock and in good shape. It does need the timing set, someone messed with the distributor thinking they would adjust the timing and now the CEL is on and it idles rough, but smooths out as RPMs rise. I pulled the code and it said "crank and cam position........somethingornother" but I know that the timing is adjusted by the PCM but the cap still needs to be set correctly. Ignitions timing at idle was -21 to-23 degrees according to the code reader. So I hope to get alot of insight and help from here since this is my first GM truck. So far I really like it, but it does need some TLC. Ill post some pictures later, its a good looking truck for its age.

Ironically, the Barack Obama administration is being accused by British MPs and human rights groups of using the same tactics as did George Bush on cases involving the use of torture on prisoners. Secret CIA documents held by the Foreign Office detail the interrogation and treatment of Binyam Mohamed, a British resident still held at Guantanamo prison. His lawyers asked the courts to release information about the interrogation and were told it would risk Britain's national security after the United States threatened to stop its agents from working with British agents. Foreign Secretary David Miliband said the United States had made clear there would be threats to national security if the information was revealed.
The Obama(or is is Bush) White House defended the High Court's ruling saying: "The US thanks the UK government for its continued commitment to protect national security information." Hogwash. We elected Barack Obama in order to end the farce about always citing "national security" to protect torture. How does information concerning the abuse of prisoners link to "national security?" Shame on Obama.

TAVERNIER -- Local real estate broker Debrah Bennett has been a pet lover and pet owner for as long as she can remember.
"When I was a little girl I was always rescuing pets," she said last week.
Bennett, 52, still believes in caring for pets in need. But with her newly founded charity, called Keys Pet Pantry, she's striving to help people experiencing economic hardships keep their pets, so rescues aren't necessary.
"We want to keep pets with their owners," Bennett explained. "The companionship of their pets is sometimes the only thing they have to cherish."
Bennett launched Keys Pet Pantry in December and is still going through the application process for tax-exempt nonprofit status. Her business model calls for directly assisting dog and cat owners in need by providing them with food and supplies and by helping them pay for veterinary bills and medication.
Potential clients, she said, will fill out an application that will be used to determine whether they are in need. Workers who have been laid off, people on fixed incomes, commission earners having down months and people who are out of work due to illness are examples of the types of people Pet Pantry would like to help.
Bennett has no staff and says she isn't going to take any salary from Pet Pantry.
So far, however, she hasn't picked up individual pet-owning clients. But she has gotten to work. Keys Pet Pantry has already made what Kat Spiegel described as a "generous" donation to Marr-velous Pet Rescue in Key Largo, which helps foster and adopt out dogs and cats that have been abandoned, abused or surrendered.
"This is so needed in the Keys," Spiegel said of Keys Pet Pantry. "The first thing to go when people are suffering an economic crisis are the pets."
Keys Pet Pantry has also made several pet food donations to the food bank at Burton Memorial United Methodist Church in Tavernier. Those donations are already enabling Burton to upgrade its client services, said food pantry leader Tiffany Katz.
"They are very thankful. Pet food is expensive," she said.
Other early pantry beneficiaries, Bennett said, include the Upper Keys Humane Society in Key Largo and Kim Reda, who spays, neuters and feeds feral cats in Tavernier.
But Bennett isn't just dispensing largesse. She's also receiving it.
A few weeks ago, Plantation Key resident Kathi Fegers donated her used 1996 Dodge van to the cause. When an already excited Bennett opened the sliding side door, she was thrilled to discover that the van was loaded with dog and cat food, as well as a wide variety of other pet supplies.
Fegers, who does volunteer golden retriever rescue work, said when she heard about Pet Pantry she thought it was great idea. She was also reminded of a time a few years ago when she had to pick up an eight-year-old retriever from an Upper Keys family that could no longer afford the dog.
"It was the most heartbreaking of things," Fegers said. "They were crying. It was a very traumatic thing for them. Maybe, had we had a Pet Pantry then ... ."
For more information about Keys Pet Pantry or to make a donation, email email@example.com or call (305) 490-7477. A donation bin is also located at the Upper Keys Veterinary Hospital, mile marker 87.8, oceanside.

|A portrait of Anke-Eve Goldmann taken in the mid-1950s by her then-husband, a journalist and television producer
I've conducted interviews with people who knew her well in the 1950s and 60s, and gained a fuller picture of how this remarkable creature - still alive at 81 years old in Germany - came to prominence in a country deeply in shock from its experiences in the War. AEG, as she's affectionately known, prefers her privacy today, rebuffing all attempts at interviews or participation in a biography, but her story will inevitably be told...she's too bright a star to hide forever.
|Anke-Eve Goldmann with one of the first R69 BMWs built; she never had a sponsorship per se with BMW, but the factory knew who she was, and seemed to supply her with the first of their new models. She remained faithful to BMW until the early 1970s
But Goldmann had no such political agenda; she wasn't a closet Socialist with Soviet sympathies, but was, rather, a feminist before that label was created. Her experience of being shut out of racing tracks because of her sex rankled as an injustice, as was the ridicule she experienced for daring to be a woman on a fast motorcycle, able to handle herself and her machine with 'masculine' aplomb. AEG, who helped found the Women's International Motorcyclists Association (WIMA) in Europe in the late 1950s, was the first and only Western journalist to document Soviet women's racing, with no need to comment on the irony of women being 'free' to race motorcycles in the Soviet Union, while she in the 'free' West was not.
|Anke-Eve Goldmann photographed on the Nurburgring track on her BMW R69 in 1962, as published in her Cycle World article of June 1962, 'A Nurburgring Lap'
Sadly, her Soviet correspondence and all related photographs were collected in an album which disappeared from her family's Swiss summer chalet in the 1970s, and this article is what remains of this unique period in motorcycling history.
Here's the article in its entirety, reprinted from the October 1962 edition of Cycle World magazine. [I include a few notes of my own, hoping readers in Estonia and Russia can fill in a few of the gaps for us - pd'o]:
By Anke-Eve Goldmann
|Number 11, Irina Ozolina, overtakes a rival
And the most enviable thing is that they have their own championship races. The first of them was held in 1949 on the lovely, 6.746km (4.189mile) road circuit at Pirita-Koze-Kloostrimetsa, near Tallinn, in Esthonia. For reasons unknown, that small country is the center of Soviet motorcycle racing. Naturally, no highly specialized racing mounts were ridden in that first meeting. The 125cc K-125, and the 350cc ISH-50 and IZH-54 two-strokes (very much DKW-looking), which developed about 7.5 and 14.5hp respectively, had solid frames and girder forks.
V. Prytkova won the historical 125 races over 15 laps at a speed of 80.5kph (49.99mph), with veteran Lydia Jefremova second [was she a war or racing veteran? - pd'o]. Most girls lapped at below 70kph (43.47mph), and the best male rider at 86.76 (53.87mph). Irina Ozolina, of Moscow, won the 350 class at 89.76kph (55.74mph), ahead of Lydia Tratsevskaya.
|V. Petrova, one of the leading Soviet lady road racers in the 125cc and 350cc classes
In 1951 Nina Mikhejeva (whose name was now Susova)[recently married? - pd'o] shattered all records, riding her 125 faster than the male winner of the year before. She averaged 90.46kph (56.17mph) and pushed the lap record to 93.41 (58mph) in the 125 division, out-racing V. Morosova and L. Sviridova. A lovely girl came in fourth - Virve Gustel, of a famous Esthonian racing dynasty [Estonian readers - please clarify? - pd'o]. Tumanjan and Ratasepp did not finish.
The 350 event was won, not by Irina Ozolina, but by T. Trossi who, taking things easy, rode to a safe win at 89.29kph (55.46mph). That miss Trossi can ride is shown by her lap record of 93.77 (58.23mph) established when Irina was still in the race. N.Nosenko beat Virve's sister, Ylme Gustel, for second place.
In 1952, both Nina Susova and Irina Ozolina returned to Moscow with their third championships secured. Nina, in top form, smashed all opposition. Though unchallenged, she took the checkered flag after 1 hour, 5 minutes, 2.3 seconds for a 93.35kph (57.97mph) average. A new lap record of 4.15minutes and 95.24kph (59.14mph) also went to her credit. Second place was taken by V. Morosova, who had been lapped by the dashing Nina. Mis Reichenbach finished third. The 350 race was won by Irina Ozolina at 96.01kph (60.62mph) and the lap record now stood at 98.72kph (61.30mph). Runner-up was Ylme Gustel; V. Petrova wound up third.
|Irina Ozolina, Soviet road racing champion in the 125cc class, on her S-157 four-stroke racing machine
For 1954, the 350 class was abandoned. All girls now competed in the smaller class, and Irina Ozolina won the championship with a speed of 90.91kph (56.45mph) over Nina Susova and I. Tomin. In these years other changes also took place. Different road circuits had been prepared, and the best racers now made use of a new model, the S-157, a twin OHC single-cylinder affair, giving 14.5bhp and built on the lines of the Czech CZ racer. Fairing made their appearance, and the Russian girls met female road racers from other Communist countries, notably Hungary.
In 1955 Nina Susova struck back an won that year's championship, beating Irina Ozolina and Esthonian Evi Nugis, a beautiful fair-haired newcomer who was to become one of the most prominent racers of her country. After the 1956 championship had again been swept by Nina Susova, Evi obtained top honors in 1957, establishing a scintillating new record of 97.16kph (60.33mph) and also a lap record of 99.02 (61.49mph).
|Trainer of the famous Kalew Club, Tomson, at right, checks the machine of one of his Esthonian lady riders
Three races counted for the 1959 championship - Riga, Tartu, and Tallinn. Nina had given up racing so it became a year for the 'old lady' again. At Riga, Irina managed to beat V. Petrova and local star Vilma Oshinja; at Tartu she was chased in determined manner by an unknown 20-year-old girl from Esthonia, Evi Freiwald, who also gave her a breathtaking fight in the third race, at Tallinn. Mrs. Ozolina won, but she had to try all she knew to keep Evi from winning - a girl who was born after Irina had already started to ride motorcycles!
The 1960 championship consisted of two heats: Tartu and Tallinn. The Tartu even was a terrific struggle. The winner was - well, who? - Irina Ozolina, who propelled her S-157 around the circuit at an average of 101.27kph (62.88mph). The lap record, however, was established by Visma Lapinja on an East German MZ at 109.57kph (68.04mph)! Visma took second place in the race at a speed of 100.15kph (62.19mph). Tea Tahk, on another S-157, was third. Evi Friewald had engine troubles. The Tallinn heat was won by Irina, too, at 93.97kph (59.88mph), while Latvian Erika Kiope beat Vilma Oshinja for their berth.
|Tea Tahk aboard the Russian S-157
I do not know how the Soviet girls would look in races in Western countries. Without doubt their courage is comparable to the fearlessness displayed by Soviet International 6 Days Trial riders, but I think that their riding style and racing experience still lacks perfection. If given International racing experience the Soviet girls certainly could become racing competitors to be reckoned with, and I would give all the tea in China to see them race against this year's 50cc Isle of Man competitor Beryl Swain, and that dashing Californian, Mary McGee."
[Some notes on the motorcycles mentioned in the above article:
|Several IZH-50 racers on a Soviet race in the early 1950s
|The IZH-54 production road racer
The S-157 racer was a DOHC single-cylinder based on the CZ. Here's what Mick Walker had to say in his 'European Racing Motorcycles' book: "The next Soviet racer was the S-157A, an interesting lightweight for the 125cc class. This was a dohc single with valves set at an angle of 50 degrees, measuring 28mm exhaust and 32mm inlet. The stroke was rather long at 58.5mm which with a 46mm bore gave a cylinder capacity of 123.6cc. When FIM President, Peit Nortier, visited the Central Automoclub headquarters in Moscow during 1959, the chief of the technical department told him that it was not intended to put the S-157-A up to the challenge the top Italian lightweights, rather to provide a production racer; and to this purpose a batch of 25 would be constructed toward the end of that year." Walker added he didn't think the S-157 was actually built, but he'd never read AEG's account from 1962!

Aloha all,
Any advice for caring for a captured colony? I procured my first colony from a friend's sprinkler irrigation box. After 6 weeks and three hive exams, I've finally found good evidence that I have a queen (larva, capped brood and eggs at the bottom and center of cells). I originally hung several chunks of their comb onto empty frames and included a few standard frames. The colony size is small,only 1-2,000. They haven't really made new comb onto blank frames, just utilizing existing comb. I have a screen-floor/small hive beetle trap that is effective but seems to collect a lot of propolis in the oil trap. Should I do anything else right now to support this hive? Winters get cool at our 4,000 ft elev., but never less than say 45F at night and up to 70F during the day.

Prospective college students can get free help in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as part of Arkansas's first College Goal Sunday on Feb. 18.
The event will be taking place at 29 sites throughout the state, including Pulaski Technical College.
At Pulaski Tech, financial aid advisers will be on hand from 2-4 p.m. in Ottenheimer Library to assist any student wishing to attend any college or university in the state.
In addition to receiving assistance in filling out the FAFSA, participants will receive general information regarding state and federal financial aid programs.
"The Arkansas College Goal Sunday program is an effort by hundreds of volunteers from across Arkansas who will come together on a Sunday afternoon in February with the common goal of making sure that the process of applying for college financial aid does not become an obstacle that would keep any person from pursuing an education beyond high school," according to Scott Medlin, statewide coordinator for Arkansas College Goal Sunday.
"By attending a College Goal Sunday event, participants will receive free hands on assistance in completing the FAFSA and will walk away from the event with a completed financial aid application and the satisfaction of knowing they have tackled one of the biggest steps in getting ready to go to college."
The Arkansas Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators and the Arkansas Department of Higher Education received a three-year grant, totaling $150,000, from the Lumina Foundation for Education to implement the College Goal Sunday program in Arkansas.
A listing of the event sites in Arkansas and more information about College Goal Sunday can be found at www.arcollegegoalsunday.org.

(Like the second guide--I know some random item will slip through the cracks, so if you know of a *full* set I'm missing--not like 'hey there are only warlock tier 6 shoulders'--I will be happy to add it.)
This is so... cool. I still prefer going hunter over shaman (mostly because the hunter sets are already quite awesome), but I can understand why shamans would want to steal a hunter set. =P
Can't mail them with the effects =(. Guess it was expected.
Can you mog items that are plate to look like cloth? I'd love to see my DK run heroics in his pirate hat.
Nope, you can't :(
So wait, you have all the non set item pieces so a person can look like that set, but what about the actual set item pieces? Can you use the set-item pieces as well? I have all my old T6 sitting in my bank and was overjoyed when I learned I can look like my old self. (Shaman T6 FTW. Period.)
yep, got me scared there for a second tho lol
Could you put the PvP-sets into the BC-recolors? (S1, S2 and S4)Just for the sake of completion.And don't you think there are a few sets missing, e.g. in T6?(Blue warrior T6-recolor, or light brown hunter T6-recolor comes to my mind)
Can you mogg gear that requires a higher level than you currently are?If you are level 60, can you mogg your weapon to one that requires level 65, or even 75 to use? If you can, that would mean that BoEs may become a lot more valuable to some people.
I wasn't sure if there were full hunter/warrior sets--I know there are a few items (likewise, there are rogue t6 shoulders/boots/gloves I'm aware of, but a mismatching chest). I will take a look later.
wow.very n1
Cant believe what kind of a joke this game has become. I am glad I canceled my account at Cataclysm's launch. RIP old good WoW.
Great list! Very informative.I'd recommend this excellent Wowpedia article for a list of alternately available sets. It seems as complete as this one, but includes a handy screenshot of each.http://www.wowpedia.org/Set_look_alikes
