Is there a trick to planting bee bee seeds---I've planted 20 and only had 2 germinate. I'm only planting them 1/4" deep. Thanks
I don't know much about them, but i believe you have to refrigerate the seeds for a something like 1-3 months in order to get them to germinate properly. you simulating winter conditions. a fair number of trees are this way. I think i saw a post a while ago about this. it was either Odfrank, or maybe oldtimer that was selling seedlings. they would know the answer I'll bet.
Seed dormancy is complex. Some seeds have a chemical in their seed coat that prohibits germination, some have a water impermeable coat, some have an immature embryo that needs to mature. All of these are eliminated over time. Take the seeds and put them in moist peat moss, and store in the refrigerator for 3-6 months. Keep them moist, but not soggy wet. If you use paper towels instead the seeds will mold. Really tough seeds need to be frozen and thawed several times. Immature embryos can take 1- several years. Junipers will not germinate until after the second winter.
I use slightly moist sand and six to ten weeks is enough. I start in January for a late March or early April sowing. This year I started much later, only stratified a month, still had decent germination, but not as good as a two month stratification. Also, shorter growing season, so the trees are not as tall by winter.
odfrank, I've had people tell me that they need light to germinate---is this true? If so do you put the seeds on top of the soil and keep moist? I did stratify the 20 seeds for 30 days and planted about 1/4" deep and only had two germinate. I might just have gotten bad seeds. Thanks for your help---I'm starting them in the house and by spring my wife will want to kill me.
I just rake them into the surface. I don't think the seed has good shelf life. They should not be inside during the winter. They need to go dormant.
If I order seeds now and stratify for two months then plant inside that takes me to germination in November. They would need to stay in house until May 1st. in Iowa---that makes them at least 5 months old when they get planted outside. Will this work or should I let them stay cool stratifying a couple more months? Does it hurt anything to let them stay cool longer? The couple that are already up I'll just put in my garage this winter[stays around 30 degrees] to let them go dormant. Thanks again, Mark
Work with the natural growth seasons. Stratify in winter, sow in spring. It is an outdoor tree, grow it out doors. Mother Nature knows best.

Everything was great!
Got them to do an oil change and then went back for a service, did a good job!
Excellent service and communication skills ! 5 star service ! Many thanks
Great all round - thanks!
Very good, no problems, would use again
The work the garage did on the car was OK. Very unreliable service though. They picked the car up and said I'd have it back by 3pm, I eventually got the car back at 6:30pm. When the car was dropped off they didn't bring me receipts or my service book back, which they said had been stamped but they had forgotten it (when I got into the car I found the service book down the side of the seat, not stamped or filled out at all. So can add dishonest as well). The owner of the garage dropped the car off, and said to come into the garage on Monday and he'd give me all my paperwork. When I went into the garage on Monday, the owner had gone on holiday and not bothered leaving any paperwork or passing on my details to other staff. So it took me half an hour to explain why I was there. I then got a half written receipt for the work done to the car, £450 worth of work I might add, so not exactly a small job. Very unreliable and a bit dishonest. I wouldn't recommend.
good service, i recommend this garage
Great garage, really happy with the service!
Great lad collected my car in and delivered and great price too A++++
Booked with very short notice on a bank holiday Monday. Diagnosed and fixed fault. Great price, speedy service. I would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you.
I phoned in the morning, job completed the same afternoon. Very pleasant and efficient service.
Great all round - thanks very much!
Brilliant service. I will definitely recommend this garage.
Job undertaken in a timely and efficient manner. No mess and no fuss! The mechanic had an excellent disposition and was easy to deal with. I have no difficulty in recommending this garage and will not hesitate to use their services in the future should the need arise. A very satisfied customer.
Fast service great garage would use again
I have been looking for a reliable, honest and competent mechanic for some time now. RG Motors delivered this in spades. From the minute I contacted the garage to the completion of the job I was treated fairly and with respect by professional and knowledgeable mechanics. I have no reservation in recommending this garage to anyone. I will definitely use this garage again.
The price was very competitive and I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The communication from start to finish was excellent. I would highly recommend this garage.
would recommend this garage to anyone, will be taking it back again,
friendly and fast service
Highly Recommended Garage! Problem resolved the car is back on road now. The price quoted was very competitive compared to others. Matt also repaired my my wife's car which was refused to be repaired by nation wide high end companies like National tyres & Selecta tyres yet the price was lot cheaper than elsewhere. Matt you are star will be using your Garage in future will recommend to my colleagues, friends & family!
Excellent. Fast and friendly, price was as quoted and the best around. They also sourced me some tyres at a better price than I was going to pay. Even washed my car!
Head gasket gone, Two injectors broke, glow plug broke stuck in head. Xmas time, head needed skimming and pressure checked he still got it done on time and polished the car, and brought it back to Wales for me. Matt cheers bud goes like s+it off shovel.
decided to cancel after being laughed at for sending a message to confirm date and time for my brake bads to be fixed. sounded like a joke of a company so not worth the risk
Highly recommend Bolton Timing Chains, Full service carried out and you can really tell the difference after the service. Thank you.
Fantastic, turned up on time and did everything that was asked!
I used click mechanic previously and had a very poor experience. I was cynical about using who can fix my car. However, the two sites are worlds apart. Excellent quote and excellent customer service. I used sk1 autos and mobile repairs. Brilliant gararge. Lee from the garage was trustworthy and helpful throughout. I would highly recommend the site and in particular sk1 autos. If youre thinking of using another quote site, don't. Use who can fix my car.
phoned him to book my car in for service he never turned up at his unit when we finally made contact he said that the booking hadn't been confirmed by who can fix my car very strange seeing that I arranged day and time with him personally.why doesn't just admit he forgot.wellsy
I can't recommend this garage enough. First impressions was it's a tidy little garage tucked away just outside the centre of Stockport in middle hill gate. It's very clean and the lads were very friendly and clearly knowledgeable. They took time to explain to me what they were doing were good to chat to. Not only did the re-gass my aircon whilst I waited they topped up the oil too. Not only was my air-con ineffective before but it was also noisy. Its now very quiet and very very cold. Thanks Lee! You'll be getting all my work from now on and I'll be recommending you to my friends.
Very professional, unfortunately didn't have the socket for my spark plugs, but changed the coilpacks anyway and even fitted a rear light I was waiting to fit, free of charge! Very happy and would use again.

Is this the same type of grooming that would get rid of varroa?
Is this the same type of grooming that would get rid of varroa?
It is in part some of the same grooming that knocks off the V-Mite then some bees like the russian will bite the v-mite to kill it but some time the v-mite might get between the segments of the bees on their under side they may need help getting off by the other bees, also this grooming will help keep the T-Mite knock off and after the bees is 5 days old the thorax becomes hard and the T-mite cant boar the hole into them
Yes Menthol will kill the T-mites and the K wing is the result of the T-mite boring a hole into the thorax and damaging the wings muscle you are right on that Tara. Now the shrunken and shriveled wings are the result of a virus cause from the present of the mites V-mite
Yeah, I hadn't seen any shrunken or shriveled wings, so I didn't think it was the varroa. Thanks a bunch Velbert!
Tracheal mites don't bore holes into any exoskeleton part of the bee. They enter the prothoracic tracheal of the bee and suck the hemolymph of the bee from inside the trachea of the bee. After five days after the bee emerges the thorax may become hard, but it is the stiffening of the hairs on the bees body that make it hard for the tracheal mite to get into the trachea.
Deformed wing virus is associated w/ Varroa jacobsonii, not Acarapis woodii, the Tracheal mite.

Jump to K-wing: Actually "K" wing is a symptom of Tracheal mites, not Varroa mites and not DWV. A crumpled deformed wing is the sign of deformed ...
Retarded - K-wing - Wax moths - Recent Vampire Mite Scare
It's a little of both. They don't bore through the side exactly. The tracheal mites enter at the first thoracic spiracle (which is the largest) and require a young bee because the mites don't quite fit. The soft chitin of a young bee can be chewed out the little bit that is required, while the chitin of an older bee is inflexible and tough. Apparently they can smell the difference in age and can use that ability to find the right host where grease patties seem to interfere with this ability.

Police searching for stolen construction equipment in Kingsport
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - A construction crew is putting in long hours at the Colonial Height's McDonalds as they try to get the fast food restaurant operational.
"That McDonalds is in the process of being rebuilt and there was a lot of heavy construction equipment on scene from excavation," said Tom Patton, Kingsport Police Officer.
When workers got to the site Monday morning, they noticed something they needed was missing. "What was stolen was a flat bed Gooseneck utility trailer, black in color, and a Caterpillar skid loader," said Patton.
We learned the skid loader, owned by Dereck Blair Excavation, looks very similar to what most people know as a Bobcat. Both pieces together are worth nearly $100,000. "They could be stealing it for personal use, they could be stealing it for [resale] or they could tearing it apart and selling it as scrap," said Patton.
Police say it was no easy task to nab the two pieces of equipment, saying they weren't close to each other. "Those were actually in two separate locations The thieves loaded the skid loader onto the flat bed trailer then hauled both of those away," said Patton.
Patton tells News 5 it's finding the thief that is going to be a tough job with so many people coming and going from the site. "We don't know it wasn't observed by people, but just because it was observed doesn't mean those people found it suspicious," said Patton.
Patton says they hope the media attention will help jog someone's memory. "[We're] getting the word out there and when people find out whoever it was loading that equipment onto the trailer was not authorized to do so, was not part of the construction crew; hopefully we'll have some tips come forward on that," he said.
If you have any information that you think could be helpful, you're asked to call the Kingsport Police Department at 423-229-9300.

Minnesota historian to present program in Baxter
Rhoda Gilman, a Minnesota historian, will talk about the history of protest in Minnesota at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 30, at Lord of Life Church on Fairview Drive in Baxter.
This event, sponsored by the Brainerd Lakes League of Women Voters, is free and open to the public.
The topic is the heart of her newest book, "Stand Up!" published in 2012. She will discuss what makes Minnesotans unique in our approach to protest.
Gilman joined the staff of the Minnesota Historical Society in 1958 as a research assistant on a project related to Ignatius Donnelly, the state's 19th-century spokesman for Populism. For the next 34 years, as an editor, researcher, writer and administrator, she worked to broaden and deepen knowledge of Minnesota's history, especially its Indian people and its women.
She has written several books, including "The Story of Minnesota's Past," which was originally published as a textbook for middle school students; "Red River Trails" (1979); and a full-length biography, "Henry Hastings Sibley: Divided Heart" (2004), of the state's first governor.

Perfect Location for a small familiy in the middle of Lisboa!
I can recommend the place: very good location, cosy, spacious and clean apartment with all facilities you need, nice, helpful and punctual host
Wasabi Orange Appartment is located great in the Alfama, very close to famous Tram 28. The living room and one of the bedrooms are overlooking the Tejo river - great view!
The address is hard to find, even for a taxi-driver, since the street has several parts - Wimdu should send customers a description of how to get there.
The interior of the appartment is quite nice, it is a place to feel good in with a party of four. Only it needs more cleaning, especially the fridge and the bathrooms. There was a lot of mold in the bathrooms which had not been cleaned off.
This place is available for max. 4 people. Because, table is very small for breakfast or dinner. Building stairs are very long and steep even for young people. I wrote couple of e-mail and SMS to host for our arriving hour but we waited at least half an hour in front of building that I could not access by phone to him. Finally, I talked to his friend by the mobile phone about my name, stay period etc. more than twenty minutes.This must be shame for the host.
Everything was to our full satisfaction. We can definetly recommend the apartment
We had a very pleasant stay at Wasabi Red Apartment. All what you need is available. The host was very kind. We had a very warm welcome. A lot of small grocery stores in the neighbourhood to do some shopping. We stayed 5 nights in Lissabon. The apartment is nearby tram 28 and metro. We stayed with 4 persons. The view is great. From the couch you have a view on the Taag. Lovely.
Thanks Riu and Tiago
We had a great stay!
The location is good, the cathedral of Se and the castle are just a few minutes walk away and the neighborhood is exciting with the labyrintish street plan. There is a lot of restaurants nearby and still, at night, it is a quiet area.
The apartment has a good layout, it's fresh, airy and modern, well equipped and with nice furniture. Both the kitchen and the living room have french balconies, and offers nice views of Lisbon, and from the roof window in the bedroom the view is even better! We would love to stay here again!!

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player.
Arsène Wenger and his side face Leeds in the FA Cup at Emirates Stadium on Monday so, to find out more, we also asked journalist Richard Sutcliffe for his thoughts and analysis.
"Leeds suffered a poor run of results over the Christmas period. However, having watched them against Derby County, they were slightly unfortunate to lose the game. Their game style combined direct football with good passing movements and they defended with desire and organisation. However, they lacked a cutting edge in attacking areas and they looked short on confidence. They do not have many players still playing regularly at present who played in this fixture last year. Of those who did, Becchio has been inconsistent and Snodgrass has had an appendix operation. If he had been fit, Howson would have been a key player in midfield but I expect Connolly to start at right back. Arsenal fans will remember O`Dea playing well for Ipswich in last season's Carling Cup semi-final.
"It's been a strange season. Leeds finished seventh last year, which possibly could be seen as a bit of an over-achievement, but this time around I expected them to push on. They've had a good stint in the top six but obviously dropped out over Christmas with three straight defeats. They did win on Monday against Burnley - which was quite fortunate after an own goal and a 96th-minute winner - but they needed that badly.
"Simon Grayson has had the odd injury to deal with. The shame is that their best player, Robert Snodgrass, is out as he had appendicitis over Christmas and will be out for between a fortnight and a month. Sam Howson, the captain, has a knee injury and could be out until March; if you take those two out of the midfield it looks pretty threadbare.
"As a rule Grayson has tried to keep a settled side, but they're down to the bare bones, certainly at centre half for Monday's game. They're struggling to get bodies out there at the moment, and with Thierry Henry maybe coming back, it isn't exactly great for Leeds.
"Patrick Kisnorbo was stretchered off on Monday and he won't be there for the Arsenal game, Alex Bruce did his hamstring and won't play and Leigh Bromby is out for three weeks, while Andy O'Brien won't be picked as he has had a fall-out with the manager. It's going to be fascinating to see who Grayson brings in.
"I think they'll go for it, like last season. They don't go anywhere to defend because they can't - it's not part of their natural make-up. We are expecting Arsenal to win comfortably, despite what happened last year when Leeds came close to winning at the Emirates.
"Leeds are a bit predictable this season. Luciano Becchio was the top scorer with 20 goals last season, but he has had a poor season and doesn't look half the player he was. They are more solid this year, they're not shipping as many goals, but they're not as exciting going forward.
"The last time Henry played Leeds in north London, he had four goals in a 5-0 win. I don't think it'll be that bad, but I reckon it'll be 3-1 to Arsenal."

Monmell Designs is a brand new company and blog that specializes in burlap graphic pillows. It is run by Stephanie {Mon}ge and Heather {Mell}strom and they are definitely a force to watch out for because their pillows are SO pretty! I seriously want every single one in their shop. Since they have only been in business for a short time, a lot of their merchandise is Holiday themed but they are going to have some Valentines, Kids, and Everyday lines deputing early 2012. So be sure to keep an eye on them so you don't miss out on any of the goodness. Here are some of my favorites from their shop.
I told you they were incredible!!! They have such an eye for design and detail. I'm super excited to see where these two go.

Where I stayed
Lynn's Lodge
There are few things in this world that satisfy the soul like sharing time with family and friends. Yesterday, I rode as far as Rock Hill, South Carolina and ran into a cloud burst. I decided that I would sit that one out and write you a short blog.
Then, after ridding another 30 minutes, I arrived in Charlotte, North Carolina and drove straight to my sisters home in down town Charlotte. It was just like I had good sense! It had been years since I'd been there, but found it like an old blood hound. Remember, once I find you, you can't get rid of me! :-)
On my way in, I noticed that Charlotte was more beautiful than ever. I was really impressed with how the city looked. Pictures turned out really nice too
My cousin Roy also showed up. Roy was the forth most decorated marine in the Viet Nam war. He's a card. We are all very proud of him. I'll be going to visit him in Shelby. (Hope you're getting all this!)
We spoke of old family times. I had the opportunity to tell the kids some interesting stories about their Grandmothe Ropp and other family characters such as Great Granny Doster. She was married to a circuit mule ridding preacher. Every time Granddaddy Doster came home, they would come up with another baby. (Guess ridding a mule and preaching the Gospel is good for the human well-being) Well, after the last baby, Granny told him to mount his mule and not turn back
We laughed a lot and cried a little. The day was hopelessly wonderful. We're planning another party this weekend. In these days of short relationships, it is so comfortable to see all these people loving and caring for each other. I so love them all. It made me think of your Mom and how much she loves you. You know, love unsaid is as good as dead. So, tell your Mom you love her. She is a neat, sweet, hard-to-beat lady. Appreciate her for me with a little pinch and a big kiss!
My Cameria is acting up and I was really worried that I would have to purchase another to blog the rest of our trip. It just happened that Jeff and Kim had another digital that they freely gave me!!!! What a blessing. It meant so much to me. Thanks Jeff and Kim!!!!
Lynn and I will be playing this week. We'll do some things we always wanted to do. One may be going to a Lilly Pad Park with Kim. That should be fun. Another will be going to the mountains.
I hope your are keeping up what all these people!
Take care, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
What a great fun party. All the girls look so much alike and like Pat too. Guess that makes sense. Looks like so much fun. Cute little Yoda dog!!
The turtle (Ke'ya) now goes with you on your journey also. This is a great honor from Earth Mother.
Keep having fun and party on Mr. King Burger.

The scene: Starbucks on Brookline Ave, a little before 3 pm on Thursday.
A line of caffeine-seekers spills out the door. Baristas hustle to keep up.
Suddenly a man strides in. He shouts, "I'M RICH! I'M RICH!" and flings fistfulls of dollar bills into the air. They flutter like fat green snow, propelled upward by the store's fan system.

In this course, you'll explore the importance of "barefoot fitness" and how taking care of your feet can facilitate stability and mobility for all movement. Learn numerous techniques to improve strength, flexibility and mobility of the feet and ankles from award-winning group fitness instructor Lawrence Biscontini.
You will learn:
It was informative and was interesting. I have already incorporated some of the content to my fitness classes! Thank you.
It was too basic, didn't cover what I was expecting.
Excellent for the older population.
I intuitively paid attention to human feet before getting certification in the Thai massage, and once I chose Body & Mind Fitness as it is trained barefoot. Dear Lawrence, how happy was I when I saw you'll be me Mentor in this particular course. An awesome Teacher! I am so grateful to God He once sent You into my life! A marvellous course! Thank you for all your knowledge always shared from a deep heart, experience & with love to human beings.
You inspired me again. Thank you for motivation and great ideas!!!
I had trouble with the videos working on my computer. Very slow at times. Instructor did a great job and was great at descriptions.
There is nothing like continuing ed material you can use immediately! I have been barefoot training for years but still found helpful information in this. The presenter is easy to understand (and quite entertaining too) I immediately used his barefoot balance training technique with one of my older clients (83yo) who has been struggling with balance. Loved learning how to learn more about clients by examining their shoes. Great foot care info too!
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you Kathleen! Glad to hear you enjoyed the course and were immediately able to use it with your clients.
The presentor was very informative and well spoken.
Great job articulating all the steps and process. Thank you!
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you Joyce! We are happy to enjoyed the course and found it clear to understand.
The feet are so often neglected. This was a wonderful course to remind personal trainers of the necessity of training the feet. The instruction and instructor were clear, the exercises were simple and effective.
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you Lynne for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the course!
This was practical and interesting. It was much better than the others without fancy vocabulary.
Excellent material and I love the instructor. I wish there was a better designed guide though. It has good material in the guide but needs a designers loving touch to make it easier to read.
The course was very thorough and interesting.

Two of the pics are of my Snowball bush, I don't know if the bees work it or not but it sure is pretty. The other 2 are growing wild here everywhere right now. The one looks like a daisy but I'm no horticulturist, and the other I have no idea.
So what are they? I am also not a photographer so I hope the pics are good enough to tell.

Ways to Give
Thank you for your interest in CHCI. Since its inception in 1978, philanthropy has played a critical role in CHCI's ability to reach out to, support and train a new generation of Latino leaders. CHCI was founded on three cornerstones for success:
- Education attainment and college access
- Leadership development
- Access to a powerful network of Latino leaders
Today, CHCI is the nation's premier Hispanic nonprofit and nonpartisan 501(c) (3) leadership organization that develops the next generation of Latino leaders by building upon those same three cornerstones.
CHCI programs educate, empower, and connect nearly 1,600 young Latino men and women annually. Many are first in their family to go to college, and the majority come from families with annual incomes of less than $45,000. CHCI's unique model of educational services and leadership development – promoting college readiness, supporting college attainment and providing direct access to the most powerful network of leaders – helps ensure career success and has put thousands of young people on a pathway to achieving the American Dream.
We invite you to write the next chapter in our success story by transforming the life of a great future Latino leader, investing in our nation's future, and guaranteeing a strong America for us all.
We invite you to be part of Our Time!
Why Give?
Hispanics are the fastest growing ethnic segment, expected to grow 167% from 2010 to 2050, compared to 42% for the total population. With this accelerated growth, the need to support our Latino youth with education and leadership training has never been so great. The strength of the U.S. is tied to the success of U.S. Hispanics.
Giving Opportunities
There are many ways you can support CHCI's mission to Develop the Next Generation of Latino Leaders®. From corporation to individuals, CHCI provides convenient and effective giving opportunities that support CHCI's award-winning programs. All gifts, no matter how large or small, sustain and expand our award-winning programs. Your generosity will make a difference in the lives of hundreds of young Latinos each year.
Recognition and Thanks
The support of our partners and friends is an important part of the CHCI tradition. CHCI values the generosity of its partners. Our donor recognition societies honor those who make possible the many award-winning programs and leadership training that distinguish this great organization.

Liked this guy coming out im surprised this got to the media
Lions benched Titus Young for sabotaging their passing offense
Per Birkett, Young purposely lined up in the wrong place on the field multiple times during the Lions Week Eleven loss to Green Bay. He also mouthed off to receivers coach Shawn Jefferson before being benched for the final possession. Apparently upset that he wasnt getting enough passes thrown his way, Young responded by attempting to sabotage the Lions passing offense.

Wisconsin: Victims Without Recourse
"The legal climate in Wisconsin right now is the most hostile to the protection of the rights of victims of sexual abuse by clergy in the USA," says attorney Jeffrey Anderson, of St. Paul, Minn., an expert in civil lawsuits for clergy abuse.
That unenviable status is the result of a 1995 decision by the state Supreme Court, then and now dominated by Roman Catholic judges. Although hundreds of plaintiffs against churches for sexual abuse surfaced in the early 1990s, they have all but vanished.
In a 4-2 ruling in Pritzlaff v. Archdiocese of Milwaukee, June 27, 1995, the Supreme Court ruled against the right of a woman to sue the archdiocese over a marriage-wrecking relationship with a priest.
In the sweeping decision, the state Supreme Court said the First Amendment prohibited it from taking a case ruling on whether the Catholic Church or any other religious denomination had improperly hired, supervised or trained its professional workers.
The decision killed a lawsuit brought by "Susan Smith," alleging she was raped by Father William Effinger at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Kenosha when she was 8 or 9 years old. The church pursued a judgment against her, assessing her $10,199.39 for the church's legal costs. Sources: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, March 2002; April 17, 2002
Milwaukee Journal Killed Stories
While news media deserve credit for breaking stories on the cover-up of ministers preying on minors, in the mid-1990s, the Milwaukee Journal became part of the cover-up.
Freelance Milwaukee journalist Joel McNally reports that Bishop Rembert Weakland and an "entourage of church officials" met with editor Mary Jo Meisner demanding that she kill a reporter's investigative stories. The series would have detailed how the archdiocese had paid millions of dollars of hush money to silence victims of pedophile priests who were being moved from parish to parish. Meisner stood firm.
But, McNally reports, when Weakland went to "higher-ups" at the newspaper, he prevailed and the stories never ran.
When the Journal and Sentinel merged, McNally noted, the reporter was pulled off the religion beat and was "exiled to covering suburban village board meetings."
"Who knows how many children could have been spared" if the series had run, McNally wonders. Source: Capital Times [Madison, WI], April 6, 2002
Female Victims Overlooked
"Of the priests we've evaluated, more abuse girls than abuse boys," says Gary Schoener, a psychologist who, with his staff at the Minneapolis Walk-in Counseling Center, has counseled more than 2,000 victims of clergy since 1974.
Schoener says he sees six times more females (adolescent and adult) than male victims of priests. He estimates that 98% of all priest sex cases are settled out of court.
"The sexual abuse of a boy is treated far more seriously, and is considered a far worse offense than girls or women."
A.W. Richard Sipe, who has conducted studies and written books on the sex lives of priests, said he agrees with Schoener--a majority of priest victims are female, most of them adult.
"Everything's always about the altar boys. It's like nothing ever happened to the girls," says Terrie Light, West Coast regional director of SNAP (Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests).
Light was 8 when, looking for her mother in the rectory in the Oakland diocese, she was reportedly raped by a priest. Sources: Sacramento Bee, March 21, 2002; Salon, March 27, 2002
Wedded to the Right
President Bush, unveiling his welfare overhaul at a Catholic church in Washington, D.C., included a proposal to commit hundreds of millions of tax dollars for welfare to the promotion of marriage.
In addition to up to $135 million for "abstinence education," Bush wants to funnel $22 million in public money, approved by Congress for child support collection, to pro-marriage experiments in about 15 communities.
Bush and "fatherhood" czar Wade Horn, of the Administration for Children and Families, also want to incorporate "marriage and fatherhood" messages into Head Start, childcare, welfare, and programs for runaway and homeless youth.
Bush will be asking Congress to allocate up to $300 million in federal and state money to "pro-marriage experiments" when it renews the welfare law this year.
Sacramento Chaplaincy Backed
Sacramento County supervisors voted 4-0 in late March to continue to fund a chaplaincy program which had required participants to be Christian.
Law Enforcement Chaplaincy-Sacramento, formed in 1977, now has about 70 volunteer chaplains who provide "pastoral care" to law enforcement officers, their families and crime victims. The chaplaincy receives most of its funds from payroll deductions, as well as $32,000 from the county, and $15,000 from the city.
In November it was revealed the bylaws require chaplains to sign a statement of faith professing to be followers of Jesus Christ. Chaplains also signed an "ethics code" agreeing not to preside over marriages of "improper persons"--such as gays and nonbelievers. The chaplaincy, finally capitulating after a public outcry, recently agreed to accept participants of all faiths and to drop its "ethics" requirement.
Officials will not renew a Probation Department agreement, in which the group received a 10% fee for administering a contract for chaplain services at juvenile detention facilities.
"First Amendment Not a Shield"
The Florida Supreme Court ruled in March that the Constitution does not protect churches from lawsuits charging clergy sexual abuse.
Said the court: "The First Amendment does not provide a shield behind which a church may avoid liability" for negligent hiring and supervision of its clergy members.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett says he's concerned to hear reports about an investigation of his son-in-law, a Philadelphia narcotics police officer.
Several media outlets citing anonymous sources are reporting that Corbett's son-in-law is under investigation by the FBI and police Internal Affairs.
Corbett said: "I was surprised and concerned to learn about the allegations regarding my son-in-law Gerold Gibson. Susan and I continue to give our family our love and support."
The Philadelphia Police Department said Thursday an officer was placed on administration leave as a result of an investigation but gave no details. The officer's name wasn't released because he was not arrested or charged with a crime.
Calls by The Associated Press to investigators were either not returned or officials were unable to confirm the reports.

Room 4: Gauguin + Pont-Aven School / Toulouse-Lautrec
In July 1886 Paul Gauguin left Paris on the first of many journeys, both within France and abroad. He was searching for a place to live simply and cheaply, away from the increasing industrialisation of the capital. Initially he travelled to the town of Pont-Aven in Brittany, western France. There he led a group of younger artists and, with Emile Bernard, developed a style known as Synthetism inspired by the pious rural community of the region. The paintings are dominated by large blocks of bright colour, emphasising exotic and spiritual themes. Many of these artists also favoured a technique where blocks of colour have dark, often black, outlines mimicking the visual effect of cloisonné enamel.
Unlike Gauguin and his followers, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec worked almost exclusively in Paris. His sources of inspiration lay in and around the cabarets and brothels of Montmartre, and his paintings are dominated by the performers and prostitutes with whom he felt a close affinity. His style is characterised by the use of bright flat colours, inspired by the Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e) popular in 19th-century France. He also favoured a sketchy unfinished look, often leaving patches of canvas visible in the work.

Hey SNAKEBYTE - welcome to gunco.
I am new to these forums, so Hi all. I have a question about the Ohio Ordnance Works M-16 uppers. They come without bolt, carrier, and charging handle. Can I use any bolt, carrier and charging handle? I assume its .223, but is there a special type I need? Thanks, Jeff
Hey SNAKEBYTE - welcome to gunco.

Ted Nugent - speaking at the NRA convention April 17, 2005
Is this going on a full auto M16 or a semi auto AR15? Different carriers, the full auto one in a semi could be bad news from a legal standpoint although it will function fine. Have to have the FA carrier to work in a 16 though. The bolts and charging handles are identical. Other than checking headspace for a particular combo, you can use any bolt in the right calber.
Welcome to Gunco , Are you talking ar-15 or m-16. Eather way, I am no expert again welcome to Gunco, Lots of people with answers.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
The ad is for an m16 upper. No interest in full auto. AR15 lower if possible.
Hey... I know you!Originally Posted by sniper69
Welcome to Gunco SNAKEBYTE.
KernelKrink just about summed it up. AFAIK, and I'm no expert, my research tells me that you would be fine with an M-16 stripped upper. Fill it with an AR-15 Carrier(most carriers come complete with bolt) and a charging handle which is the same in an AR-15 or an M-16. Then you can put your completed upper on an AR lower. Unless you're class III, putting the internal parts of a miltarty M-16 into a civilian AR-15 will get you time in Club Fed! Savvy? The standard configuration for an M-16 or AR-15 is 5.56 NATO/ .223 Remmington!
Welcome to Gunco! Every state has it's dopey laws regarding threaded barrels, bayonet lugs, etc., but if you don't have that extra hole in the lower, you should be ok.
One other issue is the Colt brand AR15 lowers use a different front pivot pin arrangement on at least some of their receivers. To adapt a milspec upper to those you need a special offset pin. No biggie, just something to be aware of. AFAIK all other brand lowers used the milspec front pin arrangement.
Don't want any time in the club I just wanted to be sure it would work. Thanks, Jeff

Buy money is self explanatory. This is the money used to purchase something. The only time that I've ever heard buy money was in Scarface. Buy money described the money being used to purchase the cocaine, in heavy quantity. Buy money is usually used to describe the money used in purchasing narcotics.

text: A feral hive I've been watching is built under the floor of an old grainery that established itself after swarming this summer. There is about a 1/2 inch of mouse droppings below the hive. I'm positive that once the cold weather hits and they're in a cluster, mice will wipe out their honey stores. I was thinking of putting warfarin mouse blocks under them to try to stop it or even slow the mice down. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

MSNBC to HHS secretary: So, three years later, what do Americans still not understand about ObamaCare?
posted at 12:11 pm on March 21, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
We had to pass it to find out what in it's, but now that we're finding out about all of the expensive, inefficient, market-distorting facets of the health care overhaul, the Obama administration's main failing is still — still — that they just haven't explained it well enough to us simpletons. We're just not getting it, you see.
Blergh. All of the items that Sebelius ticks off in the beginning of the segment — checkups without co-pays, the illegality of declining higher-risk patients, etcetera — these things are not free. The costs are merely being redistributed to all Americans at large, but when she's pressed about the rising prices of premiums in California — the first guinea-pig state to get to work on implementing ObamaCare — she just kind of casually brushes it off like these companies can somehow magically find a way to prevent their operating costs from increasing, and touts how the Obama administration has munificently limited the salaries of these insurance companies' bigwig CEOs, as if their oh-so-ill-begotten fat checks are one of the main drivers of rising health care costs. (But don't you dare accuse them of class-warmongering!)
But hey, here's the good news: The First Lady's anti-obesity campaign and the government's anti-smoking campaign are going to be real, significant preventative and hence cost-saving measures! The system is saved!

Hello all,
I'm building my first hive for locally-sourced bees that will be available in April. The weather here is usually great, and I see (wild?) bees in my yard almost every day of the year. I understand that in the years with a winter I will need to close the bottom of the hive and limit ventilation to a small amount at the top to prevent condensation inside the hive.
In July 2011 the weather was 105-110F for several hours a day, every day, for two weeks. This isn't normal, but it happened and could happen again. Obviously the bees need a good source of water close to the hive in these conditions, but should the ventilation be restricted to keep the heat out? If so, at what temperature should I close the hive bottom?
The hive will be a horizontal langstroth raised about two feet above the ground to stay out of reach of the skunk. The bees are from Bee Weaver and should not have problems with the varroa mite.
Thank you.

- Daily Gourmet Breakfast and Evening Wine Hour

The Description
The Sonoma County town of Healdsburg is one of California's wine capitals, where the confluence of the Russian River, Dry Creek, and Alexander Valley wine regions ensure the finest vino is within easy reach. The town stands out for preserving a pastoral Sonoma feel despite its stable of cosmopolitain restaurants, shops, and art galleries drawing more visitors by the day. Visitors who prefer to stick close to the action will find plenty at Healdsburg Plaza and the dozen or so tasting rooms within a mile radius of it. For a more scenic tasting experience, follow the winding Dry Creek Road lined with boutique wineries.
The Digs
The Calderwood Inn operates out of the historic John Miller House, a Queen Anne Victorian that was originally built in 1902. Each room is luxuriously appointed with soft bedding, antique furnishings, and period-appropriate design detail. During your stay, you'll sample gourmet cooking at morning breakfast and sip local wine in the evening. For a peaceful afternoon, stroll through the lush landscaped grounds planted with cedar, cypress, and redwood trees, while Koi fin through the nearby fish pond. Or, check out the scene at Healdsburg Plaza, within walking distance of the inn.
The Diversions
• Wilson Winery
• deLorimier Winery
• Pezzi King Vineyards

"The home is a beauty. We stayed in the suite downstairs and had a great time. The breakfasts were great, the wine was better, and the location is close to all the great restaurants in Healdsburg. Healdsburg square is a mere three to five minutes away."-- TripAdvisor

text: Hello guys, fairly new to wood working here and I can't seem to find this question (at least explained in a style I understand) but I have a tablesaw set up with a 3/4" dado, and a incra I-box jig. After setting up the jig, I adjusted it till the fingers were snug (they started out loose) and now what seems to be the problem, how exactly do other users out there cut their fingers spacing where you can get a full finger on the top AND bottom? Is one of the full fingers part of the other board or what? I already have my wood cut out to exact measurements for the 9-5/8" deep hive bodies. I will be making medium supers later. My joints are fitting together great now, it's just the spacing on the first cut, and getting the other plank of wood to mirror the exact opposite. I know that this sounds like a pretty obvious question to most experienced hands but stumping me. Thanks for all the comments, and Merry Christmas to all

Tech Savvy - February 21
Hey, Tech Savvy fans! It's been a busy couple of weeks, and all of your questions have been great — keep 'em coming!
This week though I wanted to bring you some information about Bluetooth speakers. We've glanced at them before but thanks to our friends at The Sprint Store in Baxter I had the opportunity to get some hands-on experience with two great portable speaker options.
Before we get to that though, here's a great tip from one of our readers. A couple weeks ago we talked about contact management systems and how to stay organized. One of our awesome readers wrote in to let us know about one more email list management app for iOS that I downloaded and tried — Mailshot Pro. By far this is the easiest distribution list creator I've seen for this OS. At $3.99 the Pro version may seem a little steep but it unlocks larger list options than the free version. It also allows you to add lists from your mail client, rather than having to start in the app, which is a nice feature over some of the others. Check it out. If you have lots of emails to manage, you'll love this app!
However, I say "tried to create" because I don't think they quite hit the nail on the head. They tried to keep enough separation in each component of the system that what they ended up with was either a great mobile OS, or a great desktop OS — but not a system where they each worked nicely together.
I'd love to hear your opinions and questions on Windows 8!

I just acquired a smal hive that had been used by a local avacado grower as a pollination hive. Done some reading and thought this would be a great way to get started. Well after 3 days, these gals are still very testy, and spend much of the day clustered outside the hive above the enterance. The grower stated that he thought it was about 3 lbs of bees, but when he opened it up revised his estimate to 10 lbs. Still awaiting my suit and starter equipment, but there is lots of activity... I am concerned that the hive ( consisting of only one smaller box ) is not big nough for this established group. Could they be ready to swarm? With abit more reading under my belt, I realize that I should have been a bit more prepared, and started my first hive from scratc, so I hope that some forum members might impart some advice to a beginner, and direct me a bit - I would hate to have to start over. Can I just add a excluder, and a couple supers? The air is pretty thick with bees at 6pm, more so today than before... getting a bit nervous.
Also, any beekeeping courses available online??

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

18 hours? A lot more than that I suspect. And any real beekeeper wouldn't go half way around the World or more and not work bees w/ another beekeeper. It's what beekeepers do.

18 hours? A lot more than that I suspect. And any real beekeeper wouldn't go half way around the World or more and not work bees w/ another beekeeper. It's what beekeepers do.
Would you even have a clue when the best time of year to go to Auckland, NZ, to work bees, might be?
Have you ever been to a temperate rain forest?
Try talking down to me face to face and see where that gets you.
Beekeepers do what needs doing when it needs doing, not when the best time of year comes around.
Hey, I know. Let's ask OT!
Clearly, we don't know his schedule down there.
Flexible. Long as people can fit in, they will see and if they wish work the bees.
Last February a new beekeeper from Canada came over, stayed in the house with us for 5 days, and spent all day every day working bees, he had a good strong back for removing the honey harvest so it worked out excellent from my perspective also.
Like Sqkcrk says, it's what beekeepers do. The Canadian was a newish beekeeper and a treatment free beekeeper. So we are from different places. But when 2 beekeepers meet, there is an immediate bond. We shook hands and immediately there was a connection. His time with me was a great 5 days.

Now if you were really lazy (like me) you would follow the links you get in a email notification that will send you right to the threads that you subscribed to automatically signed in. Nothing says you have to post just cause you are signed in.
Happy Holidays.
As far as the millionth post I am going with Dec 30th.
That's 360 per day. Too high in my estimation.
C'mon, Ace! You can knock that out before Christmas. ;
Now with Mike's challenge, I may eat my words. This time of year, last year, the average was around 340 per day. Weekly average from Nov. 1, 2012 - Feb. 1, 2013 was 1,874.
If you need to pump up the posts, may I propose global warming as a topic?
It's 70 degrees F. in NYC.
At least the girls can take a bathroom break.

Sony Announces PS4, Loves on Developers, Unveils Mobile Vita PS4 Gaming
Jason Mick
February 20, 2013 7:01 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Console packs an x86 GPU, 8 GB of DDR3, a powerful GPU, and a custom processor for background processing
Sony Group President Andrew House kicked off Sony Corp.'s (
) 6 p.m. press conference with the expected news, commenting, "The demand for a new console were clear....Today we will give you a glimpse into the future of play. The most personalized gaming experience available today... the most powerful platform ever.We believe that PlayStation 4 represents a shift from thinking of a box or console... PlayStation is the best place to play."
Sony's fourth generation console
, which will enter the eigth generation of console wars has been in the works since at least 2007. The console packs a new x86 processor replacing the International Business Machines, Inc. (
) derived CELL processor from the PS3. The system has 8 GB of DDR3 RAM (unified) shared by the GPU and CPU. Sony did not specify the hard drive size, but it promises it is "huge".
The new controller has a light bar, which is recognized by a 3D camera on the console, allowing motion control (similar to the Wii, Kinnect, etc.). The new controller also features a headphone jack and share button, as rumored. The controller also features a power button that can pause games; all games will be equipped with power save features.
Sony DualShock 4 Controller
Games can be downloaded while the console is in the low power/background mode. The background processing is handled by a secondary "custom" chip. Lead architect Mark Cerny explains, "[Our] long-term vision is to reduce download times to zero... if we know enough about you we know what game you'll purchase next and download it in the background."
There's also continual support for hardware video compression when the console is on.
The console also supports using smartphones, tablets, and the PlayStation Vita as controllers via custom apps on the latter two (specific platforms were not announced). Most PS4 titles will be playable on the PlayStation Vita as a secondary screen.
For sharing Sony is pairing up with Facebook, Inc.'s (FB) ubiquitous social network and Ustream. Describes Mr. Cerny, "By combining the PS4, the PlayStation Network, and these social platforms, our goal is to become the social platform for gaming."
One thing Sony views as key to the upcoming console's success is to woo developers big and small. Much like Apple, Inc. (
) Sony made it clear that it's all about the developers and will promote small third party studios and big studios alike via abundant resources and a set of accessible APIs.
For big end studios, there's plenty of room for creativity; high end game titles are expected to feature characters with up to 30,000 polygons. Some of the high end games shown off included Killzone: Shadowfall, inFAMOUS: Second Son, Driveclub, Deep (Capcom Comp., Ltd. (
)), Final Fantasy (unnamed) (Square Enix Holdings Comp., Ltd. (
)), Watch Dogs (Ubisoft Entertainment SA (
)), a Diablo III port (Activision Blizzard, Inc. (
)), and (now-independent) Bungie's new title "Destiny".
"If they're going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else." -- Microsoft Business Group President Jeff Raikes

UTSA salutes police department as part of Law Enforcement Appreciation Week
(May 11, 2005)--In recognition of Law Enforcement Appreciation Week, UTSA salutes the 47 officers in the UTSA Police Department, which covers the three UTSA campuses.
"We are grateful for the officers who protect and serve, and I encourage everyone to take a moment to stop and thank these officers for their hard work and dedication," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo.

Under the leadership of Chief of Police George Powers and Assistant Chief of Police Dan Pena, the UTSA Police Department is the third largest department in Bexar County with UTSA officers averaging more than eight years of experience.
The unit is one of the most educated police departments per capita in Bexar County with more than half of the officers possessing either a bachelor's or a master's degree.
UTSA officers are certified and commissioned Texas Peace Officers that have completed five months of training at the UT System Police Academy. UT System Police officers are required to complete 884 hours of training, 266 hours more than required by the state.
"Being a part of the UTSA Police Department is a source of great pride for me," said Powers. "Our department is an outstanding group of highly motivated, well-educated, dedicated professionals who make doing their job look easy."
UTSA police officers work in six divisions: Patrol, Criminal Investigations, Crime Prevention, Emergency Preparedness, Telecommunications, and Access Control and Records.
Among their regular duties, the officers provide services including:
- Residential checks for out-of-town residents
- Fingerprinting for anyone requesting it for potential jobs
- Presentations on subjects including drug and alcohol education and awareness, hazing and personal safety
- Security assessments of living areas and offices
- Escorts
- Special event security
A 2004 survey of UTSA students and staff reporting criminal activity found more than 80 percent selected "excellent" or "above average" in the quality of service they received from a UTSA police officer.
Survey categories included knowledge, helpfulness, friendliness, quality of service, professional conduct, providing complete information and response time.
Among those surveyed, 75 percent felt safer on campus than off and 95 percent thought the UTSA Police Department contributes significantly to a safe academic environment.


text: I did not get any tix through Cosport in London, 2 through LOGOC and 2 through France NOC. As far as pricing went between LOGOC and France NOC, I honestly couldn't tell you as I did not go and compare afterwards. But the France NOC tickets were with EventTeam, a reseller, so there was most likely a margin for them to make money. I got 2 skiing tickets for a friend when Cosport UK sale opened today at 12. Both Cat B, one at 81€ (Men Super G) and one at €65 (Women Slalom G) > decent prices in my opinion. We also managed to scoop Men Free, Short Dance and Ladies Short when the Cosport Australia sale opened at 1 a.m.!! We might have a slight Olympic addiction

Weber is being recognized as one of the top attackmen in the nation. He scored 77 goals to lead the nation in both points-per-game (8.273) and goals-per-game (7.0). He scooped up a team-high 137 ground balls on the year as well.
"Eric is an exceptional finisher around the cage and his intensity is unmatched. He would also be the first to credit his linemates, Allen Campbell and Dillon Fink for his scoring success." said coach Mike Schanhals.
Wierengo was recognized as a Long Stick Midfielder. He had 68 ground balls, eight assists, and one goal on the season.
"Duncan has the ability to change a game with his skills and athleticism. His tenacity and ball handling ability allow us to push our transition game and possess the ball on offense." said coach Schanhals.
