Tennessee bill would crack down on EBT card abuse
BRISTOL, Tenn. - Tennessee lawmakers are looking to crack down on public assistance fraud.
Electronic Benefit Transaction (EBT) cards work like debit cards for people needing financial help from the government, but lawmakers said some are abusing the system.
We learned the federal government passed the Taxpayer Relief Act in 2012 which changed the way EBT cards work.
The act left some things up to the states to determine how the card can be used, and after finding some people cheating the system, Tennessee lawmakers are wanting to fill all the gaps.
It's not something that happens every day at Parkway Wine and Liquor in Bristol, Tennessee, but still it might surprise you.
"We do occasionally have somebody try to use the, what I call, a public assistance card," said Vickie Dugger, the owner of Parkway Wine and Liquor.
Dugger told News 5 it can happen as many as ten times a week.
The sales there are always unsuccessful, but Tennessee state Representative Jon Lundberg (R, 1st District) said some people on public assistance have found loopholes.
"We've had EBT cards in Tennessee that were used at a Best Buy, at a Sears, at a cabaret. Someone at an ATM at a liquor stores swiped the card and got $740 in cash," said Lundberg.
That's why a bill is going through the Tennessee General Assembly that would fine people for using EBT cards for alcohol, tattoos, gambling, or adult cabarets among other restrictions.
It would also fine businesses that allowed it.
"The EBT card isn't supposed to be utilized for tattooing and things like that. It's supposed to be used for sustenance; for basic food stuffs," Lundberg said.
Taxpayers helping to fund these programs told us tightening the restrictions are long overdue.
"If people would manage those EBT cards right, there would be more kids being fed by their parents," said Mary Shelton, a local resident.
"That's just taking advantage of it, and we're paying the price," Glenn Newman, another resident.
Here's an interesting fact we found out:
Representative Lundberg told us because of federal restrictions, the state can't stop people from using EBT cards to buy cigarettes.
But as for this bill, which would place many other limits, it passed the state Senate overwhelmingly.
Lundberg does expect it to pass through the state House and become law.

Espresso is the basic ingredient in most coffee drinks no matter what fancy name they are given at the local coffee bar. Whether you are ordering a latte, cappuccino or mocha, espresso is what gives these drinks their coffee flavor.
Espresso is the type of beverage produced by pushing hot water (between 190 F and 195 F in temperature) at high pressure (between 8 and 9 bars) through a bed of finely ground, compacted coffee. Shots of espresso should take about 20 to 25 seconds to brew. For a normal single shot of espresso you would use approximately 1 to 1.5 ounces of liquid and approximately 7 grams of ground coffee. To make a normal double shot between 2 and 2.5 ounces of liquid is used and the volume of coffee grounds is doubled.
However, you can produce many varieties of coffee specialty drinks by going beyond these general guidelines for single and double shots. There is no limit to the flavorful combinations you can create by adding ingredients to the basic espresso formula explained above, which is known as the Espresso Rule of Thumb. The recipes below will provide you with some ideas on what you can add to the basics to make a number of coffee specialty drinks at home. These traditional recipes can also be adapted to suit your mood and taste.
Vary Your Shots
Sticking to the Espresso Rule of Thumb is an option, not a necessity, for those who want to get the most out of their espresso machine. Another type of shot you can try is called the Ristretto or the "little one". This involves a shot that measures about 0.75 to 1 ounce that is pulled through approximately 14 grams of ground coffee in about 20 to 25 seconds. On the other hand, you can try the Lungo, or long pull, which means that about twice the amount of water is pulled through the coffee grounds, so instead of using a 2 to 2.5 ounce double shot, you would have a 5 to 6 ounce double shot.
Remember that shots of espresso should take about 20 to 25 seconds. Also, if you find that your shots pull too quickly, too slowly, or taste bitter refer to the Espresso Rule of Thumb for some more tips.
For Cappuccinos and Lattes It's All About The Milk
Depending on whether you use 1%, 2% or whole milk you will end up with either a cappuccino or a latte. A cappuccino has frothed and steamed milk; a latte contains only steamed milk. A variety of flavorings can also be added to both of these kinds of drinks. (See our Monin syrups for some delicious options.) The recipes for basic cappuccinos and lattes are as follows:
2 to 2.5 ounces espresso (double shot)
2.5 ounces frothed milk
2.5 ounces steamed milk
For a cup of cappuccino use equal parts of espresso, steamed milk and frothed milk. Place the espresso in the cup first, and then add steamed milk, followed by frothed milk. Adding flavored syrup or MOCAFE to your cappuccino can spice up this basic recipe.
Other Combinations To Try
For a different twist, try making a Dry Cappuccino, which has a double shot of espresso in it and frothed milk on top. This variation contains little or no steamed milk. A Wet Cappuccino has a double shot of espresso with more steamed milk than frothed milk.
A café latte contains only steamed milk. Flavorings can also be added to vary the taste of your latte.
Café Latte
2 to 2.5 ounces espresso (double shot)
4 to 5 ounces steamed milk
More Special Recipes
Iced Latte
2 to 2.5 ounces espresso (double shot)
3 ounces fruit flavored syrup
Cold Milk
For a cool alternative to hot drinks fill up a 12-ounce glass with ice, and then add the espresso, syrup and cold milk.
Café Macchiato
2 to 2.5 ounces espresso (double shot)
Dollop of frothed milk
Use a demitasse cup for this drink because it is just one shot of espresso with a small amount of frothed milk spooned on top. The ratio of espresso to milk is usually 80:20.
Café Mocha
2 to 2.5 ounces espresso (double shot)
6 ounces steamed milk
.5 ounce chocolate syrup
Whipped cream (optional)
Chocolate sprinkles (optional)
Begin by adding the syrup, espresso and steamed milk to a cup. Top if off with a little whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. (Remember you can adjust the amount of syrup depending on your preference.)
Ways To Cut The Calories
For a low fat version substitute the whipped cream with frothed, skim milk. For extra flavoring without fat, carbohydrates or calories choose one of our Monin O'Free syrups, and to sweeten your cup of cappuccino sprinkle in some Splenda.
More Options For Your Cup of Coffee
You can also choose to make a Café Americano or a Café Crema. Café Americano is a single shot of espresso with 6 to 8 ounces of hot water added to it. This coffee drink is a little sweeter tasting because hot water is added to the shot, not run through the coffee grounds. However you will still be making a full-bodied cup of coffee even though you are using more water.
Café Crema is a single shot, but it is a long pull. You pull 6 to 8 ounces of water through the ground coffee instead of 1.5 ounces. Also to make a Café Crema you will need to use more coarsely ground beans.
The sky is the limit in creating unique coffee specialty drinks. Just take any of these basic recipes and simply adjusting the amount of espresso, steamed milk, frothed milk or syrup.
If You Just Want a Cup o' Joe…
There are also ways to be inventive using your drip coffee machine. Here are some specialty drink recipes to try:
Café Au Lait
2 to 2.5 ounces DRIP coffee
6 ounces steamed milk
The Café au Lait uses drip coffee with steamed milk added to it.
By using your drip coffee machine you can make a Hammerhead. Just place a single shot of espresso in your coffee cup and then fill the rest of the cup with drip coffee.
There are two schools of thought on buying and storing coffee beans. The argument usually plays out something like this:
So who is right?
In general, freshly roasted beans respond better to water pressure, temperature and the brewing process as a whole. And beans purchased directly from the roaster and stored under natural conditions tend to grind more easily. But if your roaster stores them in an open bag or bin for more than a week after roasting, they are more than likely past their peak.
Because coffee beans have residual moisture on them after roasting they do need air to cool down or relax. This is often referred to as a resting period and lasts anywhere between one and three days.
Let it be known though, the two largest enemies of freshly roasted beans are oxygen and moisture. And if your roaster does not use air to cool the beans, the residual moisture may cause them to loose flavor and turn rancid rapidly. An easy way to tell if your beans are past their peak is if they have a sour taste or cigarette-like aroma.
If you are lucky enough to have your roaster package the beans in foil or plastic bags with a one-way valve that allows the naturally occurring gasses to escape, deterioration of your beans will be minimized. Italian roaster, Illy for instance, packages beans in nitrogen and seals them in an airtight can. When packaged correctly, beans can be stored for up to two years.
If your roaster uses a heat sealed film or foil bag like Lavazza, transfer the coffee to an airtight, opaque storage container immediately after opening. By using an airtight container like our coffee bean storage tins with a rubber-lined lid you will be able to keep your coffee fresh for several weeks.
Many people do not realize how important the proper storage of coffee is. A lot of people believe that freezing or refrigerating makes coffee last longer, but this type of storage will alter the aging of the coffee. Freezing beans lock in the moisture and stop the naturally occurring chemical process. Additionally, refrigerators are damp and filled with odor. Who wants your fresh beans to absorb the smell of last night's leftovers?
And in the instance that you purchase pre-ground coffee, make sure to brew it as soon as possible because coffee will begin to loose its flavor as soon as you grind it.
Whole beans store better than ground coffee. Because once you've ground the coffee the aromas and flavors are inherently lost. Therefore it's best to grind as much as you need and immediately put your freshly roasted beans in an opaque, airtight container.
Hopefully this article has transformed you from the typical "Vern" – someone who was relatively uneducated about coffee bean storage - into a "Ralph", a coffee storage connoisseur. Now it's time to use your knowledge; keep your coffee fresh and educate the "Verns" of the world on proper coffee storage.

Email them and ask how long the shelf life is.
I bet its long being spices and powdered tomato sauce.
the wife and I eat lots of pasta me whole wheat now
we saw an ad over christmas for Spatini dried spaghetti causce, which when we were kids mid 60's our folks made all the time, only now they only make it very large packs not the small ones, so we decided to pass
today on the forums I saw this and ordered some for when i am on the run from the FEMA camp
Mama Lisa's Pasta Sauce,
can hurt to put alittle away, my only concern is self life but its powdered
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Email them and ask how long the shelf life is.
I bet its long being spices and powdered tomato sauce.
This says it comes in a 4.4 oz. box. More than likely it would be in a sealed bag inside the box. If that's the case I'd throw the box away, throw their plastic bag away, pour it into a Food Saver bag, vacuum all the air out then store in 5 gal buckets. I have several powered foods stored this way and after 5 years powdered milk flour ect. is exactly the way it was when I packed it. Be sure to mark the date and the contents otherwise it becomes a mystery dinner.
Mama Lisa's Pasta Sauce
"Co-workers: a convenient source of protein after the Apocalypse."
got a reply on shelf life
Shelf life is virtually unlimited. I had samples from my initial run
of product for five years, and tried them from time to time to check
for taste. Taste was fine at the five year mark. The only real problem
was that after that much time sitting, it did clump. There's only so
much you can do after that amount of time. But that's an aesthetic
issue. It doesn't bother me, but then again, it's my product.
Mama Lisa's Pasta Sauce (MLPS) is mixed and then put into a plastic
bag, the bag is heat sealed, and then placed in a cardboard carton.
Not the absolutely best, perfect to guard against UV lighting, which
degrades spices, but it does what it's designed to do.
If I may, why are you asking about shelf life? Maybe I can offer an
alternative idea. Always happy to help.

Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Yes. Good point. There is a market for #10 cans now days. A HUGE one. Makes me wonder if that might be what he was eluding to.
I've never tasted it. The wife cans our maters and makes her own sauce.
Do any local stores carry it yet, or is it only online? It would be nice to have as a grab and go for a day pack too for day hikes with the dog. I like the 'about us' story on their sight. It's the classic 'American boy creates his own business'.
They mentioned something about contacting them if you were ordering more than 6 pkg. Sounds like they might have some sort of a discount for volume. Group buy maybe?
If they offer a nice enough discount on a large order, we could put one together. I was thinking more on the pkg than the #10 can. I don't know what happens to the shelf life after it's open and a whole #10, is going to make a crap load of sauce.
Of course we'd need a couple of people to sample it first.
This is getting interesting

Both have mostly positive reviews(that I have seen) I have not shot a Neos so I am only going on what I have read about them, I do have a S&W 22A that my wife likes to shoot and it seems to be a decent overall pistol, haven't had any problems with it and as most .22 seems more accurate then the shooters I have let use it(at 50 feet off a bench it will hold the 10 ring of standard 50 foot target) nor is it hard to clean.

I started 6 new colonies with swarm cells 3 weeks ago and the new queens started laying about a week ago. The population of workers is starting to decrease and there is not brood ready to hatch for at least two weeks.
Can I take a frame of brood with bees from another colony and place it in these new colonies to help build the worker population?
Or must I remove all bees and only add the frame of brood?
Also, the bees are filling the cells with honey where the new queens are starting to lay which is restricting her from laying. They only have four drawn hive body frames so the space for her to lay is limited. They appear to be more interested in storing honey in these frames than drawing out the new 6 new frames that are also in the hives.
What are my options?
I have some drawn super frames, should I place them in the bodies to give her some laying room now and them move them up to the super when the colony is built up enough for one?
Also, what is the general rule for hive bodies in Florida, one or two? I have all mine in only one body.
Thank you.

What is IT Operations Management?IT operations management is the process of managing the day-to-day IT infrastructure including managing the provisioning, capacity, performance and availability of the computing, networking and application environment. IT operations management is critical for IT organizations that are responsible for efficiently delivering high-quality services and applications in support of the digital business.
The digital business runs on ITThe digital business revolution infuses technology into every step of an organization's value chain. This highly complex and fast-changing technology environment is comprised of new digital business systems that rely heavily on the IT infrastructure and other technology services. IT operations management empowers IT organizations to:
- Ensure the performance and availability of digital services
- Align cost and risk decisions with business needs
- Efficiently run and manage business-dependent technology
- Respond to problems fast and recommend improvements
Find and fix problems fastIn the fast moving digital era, IT operations teams need to find and fix problems before the business feels the impact. IT operations management helps IT teams proactively identify and resolve performance and availability problems in a hybrid IT environment. IT needs solutions that provide an intuitive way to examine operational norms, automatically reveal abnormalities, measure service impact, and proactively identify risk to simplify troubleshooting and resolution.
Modern applications require granular monitoring
The introduction of new, innovative, high speed technologies and always-on business applications requires second-by-second monitoring to reveal data trends. However, traditional IT operations tools collect data at longer time intervals—smoothing data patterns and leaving quick, but critical, spikes undetected. A modern approach to IT operations management supports both traditional IT infrastructure management and the fast moving, cloud-based services on which the business relies. Agile IT needs fine-grain visibility into applications to help them develop, troubleshoot, and deliver solutions quickly so they can move as fast as their applications. Explore AWS Monitoring with TrueSight Pulse.
Optimize capacity to control cost and minimize riskThe fast moving digital business requires IT to be nimble and accurate when tuning the dynamic IT infrastructure. IT operations management empowers the continuous alignment of services across all compute environments and across all resources to:
- Understand utilization at the resource, service, and business-level
- Eliminate over-provisioning and under-provisioning, and their associated costs
- Align resource forecasting with business demand
Smart, data-driven decisions fuel the digital businessIn the modern digital business, reporting for the sake of reporting becomes extinct and data becomes the currency that guides and drives all decisions and actions. Breaking down IT information silos and automatically organizing multi-structured data from diverse, dynamic sources empowers IT Operations Management teams to turn meaningless data into actionable information that supports decisive action.

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
Much of the financing for state and local needs, like schools, roads, and affordable housing, comes from the sale of tax-exempt municipal bonds to investors. Basically, investors are loaning the government the money for construction costs; in exchange investors receive tax-free interest payments on their loan. Lawyers who understand public finance issues help the government meet the legal requirements for the sales process and package the bonds for sale. Since different levels of risk are associated with loaning to different government organizations, bond and public finance attorneys also help investors calculate the risks before making such loans.

Rural Route 2 mail carrier retires
Judy Eckart has been the Route 2 mail carrier out of Backus for 29 years, but her days of driving from the center of the car are over. Judy retired Feb. 22 and is now seeking new life experiences.
It all began with Awana at Mildred chapel, where she met a rural mail carrier and got a job offer. The Backus Post Office was looking for a new substitute mail carrier.
"She used to watch me wrestle the teenage kids for the basketball. She figured if I was tough enough for that I could handle the mail route," Judy said. "When she asked me, I said, 'I can't do that. I don't know the first thing about delivering mail.'"
Judy had never considered being a mail carrier, so she spoke to her husband. Henry suggested that if she wasn't interested, she should turn down the offer. When she told him it paid $7 an hour, a lot of money in 1984, his tune changed.
"He said, 'Take it!'" Judy said.
Judy worked as a substitute mail carrier in the beginning. She started her day at 7 a.m. with at least 2 1/2 hours of sorting mail for her 410 customer homes, and then moved on to a 93-mile, five-hour route. She then returned to the post office by 5 p.m. to process the mail she had collected.
During her many miles, Judy experienced many vehicular issues, including a car fire the day after she bought a new vehicle. Luckily, she rescued all the mail and packages from the burning vehicle without any harm to herself.
After 15 years, Judy was promoted to a full-time position when the Route 2 driver retired.
Over the years and miles, Judy learned many things, like how to fit 74 Christmas packages into a small car and how to change a tire (Judy holds a record at B&L Auto across the street from the post office for flats). Most of all, Judy built up relationships with the people on her route.
"I love my customers. Being a mail carrier you get to know them because you are part of their life. When they get sick, you know that when you go to their house with cards," she said. "They kind of tell you what's going on in their life, so there's all kinds of things that go through your mail that your customers share with you. You really get to know your customers well, and they trust you."
Through her 29 years as mail carrier, the customers haven't changed, but many policies and practices have. While not all of these changes are good, she wants everyone to realize that it is not your local mail carrier's fault.
"The people that are out there actually doing the physical job and not making the rules are really hard working and dedicated. We do a good job. We try to do what's best for our customers," she said. "Our customers don't have anyone to complain to but us, and we understand that. We are the face of the post office."
Judy's retirement came, largely, in response to the death of her husband, who passed away in May 2012. Following his death, Judy said she thought it would be better to retire on her own terms, rather than to be forced out by illness. It's time to move on. It didn't help that finding a new car with front bench seats was getting difficult.
Though she will certainly miss her customers, Judy will not miss 70 miles of springtime muddy roads. And she is somewhat happy to miss out on the added Monday morning workload when Saturday delivery is eliminated.
Now that her shift has ended, Judy has purchased a car with bucket seats, and she is looking into volunteer opportunities through her church. She may even go on a mission trip soon.

In June, Honda leased its first hydrogen-powered, fuel-cell car to
ordinary consumers, the Spallino family of Redondo Beach,
California. That transaction marks an incremental step toward the
hydrogen-fueled transportation system that President Bush championed
in his 2003 State of the Union Address, when he announced a $1.2
billion "Freedom Fuel" initiative. That program, among
other things, funds research on the longstanding problem of how to
store hydrogen on a vehicle, one of the many possible showstoppers
in the effort to nudge modern society toward a hydrogen-based
economy. The trick is figuring out how to hold hydrogen safely and
at sufficient density to allow a typical car to go 500 kilometers or
so before having to tank up. While that requirement remains a
significant hurdle, a new study indicates that the clever use of
nanotechnology may give hydrogen storage a significant boost.
The surprising report, which appeared last June in the journal
Angewandte Chemie, describes a way of storing hydrogen
in the form of the compound ammonia borane,
NH3BH3. Tom Autrey of the Pacific Northwest
National Laboratory led the group of 12 authors who published the
work. It builds on the decades-old idea of storing hydrogen in the
form of ammonia, NH3. Unlike hydrogen gas, which requires
cryogenic temperatures to liquefy, ammonia becomes a liquid at -34
degrees Celsius. It also does so at room temperature and 9
atmospheres pressure (it is similar to propane in this regard),
making it much more convenient to use as a transportation fuel.
Ammonia is comparatively inexpensive to produce, and the hydrogen
can be separated out using catalysts without undue losses.
"It's a perfect fuel in many ways," says Ali T.-Raissi,
head of the hydrogen research and development division at the
Florida Solar Energy Center, part of the University of Central
Florida. "The only problem it has is the fact that it's
toxic." This consideration suggests that a better strategy
might be to use the compound ammonia borane, which typically takes
the form of a powdery solid. This chemical (and its cousin ammonium
borohydride, NH4BH4) were first studied in the
1950s for their possible use in rocket fuel, a idea that was later
abandoned. It largely fell off scientists' radar screens until the
late 1990s, when Gert Wolf of the Technische Universität
Freiberg realized that it might be a good medium for storing
hydrogen in a vehicle. Indeed, ammonia borane contains almost 20
percent hydrogen by weight, giving the compound more hydrogen per
unit mass or volume than even liquid hydrogen.
Getting the hydrogen out of ammonia borane isn't difficult and
doesn't require additional energy: Once the compound is heated
sufficiently, the decomposition reaction proceeds on its own. A
third of the hydrogen is released at about 110 degrees, a second
third at about 155 degrees (at which point ammonia borane is a
liquid) and the final third at a higher temperature still, more than
500 degrees. Because the last increment requires awkwardly extreme
temperatures, the new work of Autrey and his colleagues focused on
the first two steps, whereby two-thirds of the hydrogen can be extracted.
Autrey's team infused ammonia borane into a nanometer-scale
scaffolding of silica, a type of material often used as a substrate
for catalysts because it provides an enormous surface area for
reactions. Doing so allowed the hydrogen-release reaction to take
place at lower temperatures and to give off less energy. In chemist
Autrey's words: "It's just barely exothermic." That
difference is important for two reasons. First, it allows engineers
to consider using the waste heat from fuel cells to prompt the
reaction (the most popular type of fuel cells heat up to about 85
degrees). More important, the change in thermodynamic properties
means that driving the reaction in the opposite
direction—regenerating the ammonia borane by somehow putting
hydrogen back—becomes less difficult, at least in theory. As
Autrey explains, "If you're going to regenerate the stuff, you
don't have to go uphill so far."
But figuring out exactly how to regenerate ammonia borane from the
residuum left after hydrogen has been extracted remains a stumbling
block. And T.-Raissi stresses that being able to reconstitute the
ammonia borane is necessary for this scheme to be economical for
anything but niche applications. He notes also that it is going to
be very challenging. "You've got to be smarter than Haber,
smarter than Bosch," he says, referring to the German chemists
Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, who at the turn of the 20th century
pioneered a system to synthesize ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen
by combining these gases at high temperature and pressure in the
presence of osmium and uranium catalysts—the system used
around the world today to manufacture synthetic fertilizer.
Autrey agrees that regeneration is critical and says that he and his
colleagues are working on the problem in collaboration with others
in the consortium of government, university and industrial labs that
make up the Department of Energy's Center of Excellence for Chemical
Hydrogen Storage. But he is otherwise tight-lipped about what
avenues his group is investigating. Perhaps their best efforts will
fail to resolve this critical issue. Or, just maybe, wielding
computational, theoretical and experimental tools not available a
century ago, Autrey's interdisciplinary team (or another one) will
yet outwit Haber and Bosch. Doing so could help make hydrogen the
fuel of choice in future vehicles.
Would such a change relieve the energy crunch and lower the amount
of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere? That all depends on
how one gets the hydrogen, which, after all, is just serving as an
energy carrier. Skeptics point out that it would probably come from
natural gas, in which case the shift to a hydrogen-based
transportation system would not fundamentally resolve current
concerns. But at least the term "gas station" would
finally make some sense.—David Schneider

We just saw a devastating scene and it would be helpful to get some confirmation. I'll set the scene for you: We're in South-Central PA, right at the Maryland border. This is our first hive (Italian) and we got them set up in April. They seemed to be doing okay in the Spring, but focusing heavily on brood rearing over the summer, so much so that they didn't make any honey for themselves. The population was great - two deep boxes full of bees, but it lost the sweet scent and smelled fermented in August. We did a syrup/Honey-B-Healthy feeding in late September and I put candy and wintergreen grease patties on for them in early October.
Today, my boyfriend went up to repair the awning over them (hurricane issues) and noticed that the hive was silent - we normally hear a humming. He opening it enough to see the food and it was empty. I came up and we opened it to find the food touched, but barely. A few dead bees were stuck to the candy. The worst was a yellow jacket, cold, but happily eating - which means he made it through the entrance reducer and all the way through two hive bodies without being attacked.
The upper deep was completely empty (although I did not inspect the comb - cold!). The bottom deep was just about as empty, but for one frame of very small bees. I did not pull this frame out, but quickly covered it back up. If the queen is alive, I suspect she is there. I'm pretty upset - it's not the 20-30K we need to survive the winter. Is it game over? Is this CCD? There aren't any bodies. Is there anything I can do? We did every right. Should I remove the upper deep and bring the food down to them?

what do you do with all the queen cells? do they get
split up to hatch in individual boxes? I did a split this
year and didn't know what to do with all the queen cells.
I think there were about 10. could I have put them in
small boxes with a few drones, and had mated queens
to use or sale???
Mrmizilplix - Working on the theory that you aren't kidding - No, but you could have put them in mini nucs with a cup or two of bees, let them emerge and mate. Then you'd have a bunch of mated queens.
Then how do you handle let's say 30-50 queen cells?
what's the process?
Then how do you handle let's say 30-50 queen cells?
Hey Mrmizilplix,
Your Request is large in scope. Buy the book : Contemporary Queen Rearing
By Harry H. Laidlaw , Jr Will Answer Alot ! Many feel it is the best Queen rearing book, in publication .
Anyway, queens seem to have a maximum size limit. My normal size queen cells usually have a reserve of royal jelly, such that there is royal jelly remaining in the bottom of the queen cells even after the queens have emerged. The larger cells just seem to have an even larger reserve of royal jelly remaining after adult queen emergence. Either way I believe the queens produced to be virtually identical.
The batch of cells that was growing when I started this thread I had intended to take a photograph of to illustrate the difference. But, I neglected to prime the cell-builder with a frame of young larva, and the cells turned out, normal sized.
Yesterday, Friday, I grafted another set, but had primed them with a frame of hatching eggs and young larva. As I removed the frame of young larva I noticed that they had been very well fed with lots of royal jelly. You'd think that this might deplete the nurse bee's supply, instead of "priming the pump", so to speak. In a few more days I will know if it had the desired effect. If they do so turn out, I will definitely photograph them and add the image to this thread. There is also a modest flow happening, due to a little rain we've had in our vicinity in these past two weeks.
Joseph - After trying a few different methods this year I think a cell builder like yours is what I want to do next year, but I have a couple of questions:
How often do you need to add frames of emerging brood to keep it strong?
Do you get a lot of burr comb on the bottoms of the medium frames being in a deep box? If so, have you ever tried a slatted rack to give the bees cluster space while discouraging burr comb? I hate to waste comb.
Whenever I manipulate the hive to check on the cells, about every second day, I check any recent frames of emerging brood for developing rouge queen cells, and remove them. As I am doing this I realize that when I don't find any queen cells on newly added frames that the older frames are ready to be switched with fresh ones. The two outermost frames are only partially drawn foundationless frames, the bees continue building them, filling them with nectar and pollen. When these outer combs are completed I replace them with fresh ones - that seems to take care of too much extra wax on the queen cells and the bees desire to extend the medium combs beneath the bottom bars. This way my queen cell builder nucs serve a double duty.
That makes sense - they would rather draw comb in the nest than under it as long as they have room.
So in theory you could start a new batch of cells as often as every 2-4 (?) days by moving the started ones to a finisher or leave them in the same hive for 10 days before changing them out. Right?
It sounds like a simple, effective, scalable system. What if any drawbacks have you found with it? Other than the need to swap brood and check for rogue cells ever 2-3 days - which applies to most systems anyway.
Yes, I'm sure it could be used like a "swarm box" is used in some systems, just to get the grafts accepted and the cells started. I leave them in there until they are sealed, and sometimes a few days more.
The only drawback I found are likely the same with just about any system; overlooking a rouge queen cell, having a virgin queen drift to this nuc and then destroy cells. I corrected these problems (more or less), by being exceptionally diligent to search out and destroy rouge cells and I put a nuc "disc" entrance on and rotated it into the queen excluder position - it has helped greatly. The other drawback is to lose track of a batch of cells, leaving them in until one of the virgins emerges and destroys some or all of the growing cells. I once had a situation where I would graft a bar, have the grafts accepted, the cells begin to grow, then the growing larva would suddenly be missing, like the cells were aborted -- I discovered a virgin was patrolling the nuc and evicting queen larva as she found them.
Later this Autumn, I plan to move this cell builder nuc into a nuc of luan walls with 1-1/4" thick outer walls of styrofoam, for the cooler months. I've reconsidered the luan/styrofoam plan -- instead I will see how fastening the styrofoam outside one of the 15/32" plywood nucs works instead.

I finally produced another batch of queen cells under optimal conditions (plus), I estimate they are about 3/16" longer than usual nice queen cells -->
Nine grafts produced these seven cells. The other two I placed before they were sealed.
What is your final success percentage - laying queens. 7 out of nine grafts to cells X out of 7 laying queens.
On average.
My last try produced 16 cells from 30 grafts and resulted in 8 laying queens. Not great, but it gives me an idea of how many grafts I need to do to end up with a given number of queens. So I'm wondering how it is with more experience and skill.
About what is the average length of your large cells? Looks like maybe an inch and a half? I was thinking the cup was just very shallowly concave--or is it nearly as deep on the inside as on the outside?
Partially I'm curious, but I'm also wondering how many queen-cell bars I can fit on a medium frame if I tinker with it!
I actually had 100% grafts to finished cells, this time. I just moved two into their nucs, so they could be finished by the nucs. I usually get better than 50% grafts to ripe cells, sometimes more, sometimes less. The graft attempt immediately preceding this one, was destroyed, all but one, by another rouge virgin.
Some virgins have emerged with deformed wings ->
Some disappear from undetermined causes ->
I haven't kept close enough track to definitively answer your questions. But a large percentage of virgins achieve mated/laying status. I'd be happier if all those that did were outstanding queens. Right now I have three, otherwise excellent queens, who each have a damaged leg, I keep them as laying machines, though I wouldn't sell them or use them in a full-size colony. Eventually I will need to remove them and replace them with other queen cells, and hopefully those next queens will be better.
Those JZsBZs plastic queen cell cups are, 13/32" deep with the bottoms rounded concave, they are also 9/32" inner diameter. Tomorrow I will measure the three remaining extra-large cells to see what their lengths are.
Update: I measured the three remaining cells from that batch of cells. I didn't need to average them, they were all 20mm of wax extending beyond the plastic cell cups.
Last edited by Joseph Clemens; 09-22-2010 at 11:17 AM. Reason: Update on cell sizes
Post #28 says you neglected to "prime" cell builder. could you explain this please.
Rmns 1:16/Prv.3:5,6/ Beegan BK May 09/ Zone 5b
I have NOT failed. I have only found many many ways that do not work!
I call it "priming" when, a day or two before I graft, I give the queen cell builder one or more frames of hatching eggs/less than 3 day old larva and the attending nurse bees. Then I graft and replace these priming frames with the bars/frames of grafts, shaking the nurse bees so they remain with the cell builder. Usually this is a fairly certain way of getting the largest finished cells with the most extra royal jelly.
Hard to say if you'll get bigger queens, but in my experience cell size is not related to queen size. Here is a research paper that queen size is not related to ovarioles:
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I read most everything you post & I even remember some. I can't recall why you said you use 5 frame cell builders.
I am going to try the cloak board method on some of my hives if I get the time this spring. I have a ten frame top that has been modified to set a 5 frame nuc box over the center. The excluder is part of the top & has a slide in division (cloak) board. A ten frame double brood box on bottom & a 5 frame nuc over the top.
Seems to me that getting a large volumn of nurse bees into the cell builder would be accomplished w/the dbl 10 frame below. Is low resources the issue w/using a 5 frame?
Having open brood below be problematic w/nurse bees ignoring open brood in cell builder?

Sehr schöne Wohnung mit viel Platz. Alles da was man benötigt. Beeindruckend sind die Flat-Screens und die Media-Anlage. Im Sommer könnte es etwas Geräuschprobleme bei offenem Fenster geben, wenn nachts die Güterzüge fahren. Bei geschlossenem Fenster hört man davon nichts. Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war problemlos.

Thanks Brigite it was great to stay in your apartment. Clean, beautifull, close to the city center!
It was a wonderful experience in Stuttgart with my parents in Brigitte's house. We enjoyed there for 12 nights! We cooked, chilling, and relaxing in her apartment. All the facilities are very good and clean! The beds were nice for sleeping well. Thank you so much.
I spent a few days in Brigittes nice apartment in Ruid, Ostfildern together with my son. We did not spent much time in the apartment, but it is a nice apartment with plenty of space for two (and probably also for more persons. It was clean with a nice kitchen and a very nice bathroom with an enormous bathtub and the toilet in a separate room. We were taken care of from the minute we arrived by Brigittes friendly neighbor who showed all the rooms and facilities. Ruid is a very nice little town with a combination of peace and all the necessary shops and the U-bahn a short walk from the apartment. I can highly recommend the apartment.
A very nice apartment in a very good location. Exellent for short-term accomodation in Stuttgart. The owner is very friendly and outgoing lady. Thank you!
This is a very nice, clean apartment, we easily slept 7 people and the kitchen was well equipped. It is in a good location for transport links to the city. The owners were flexible with arrival times which was really helpful as we were arriving in 2 groups. I would recommend this apartment and would stay again. Thanks Brigitte!
Schöne Ferienwohnung, mit dem Bus sehr schnell im Zentrum, wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.
Leider entsprach die Wohnung überhaupt nicht den Textinformationen der Ausschreibung (die Fotos stimmen allerdings):
kein seperates WC, Lagebeschreibung ist falsch (U-Bahn 1?), offenen Kamin?
kein Balkon,
Die Wohnung ist in einem unordentlichen Zustand. In vielen Schubladen und Schränken liegen unsortiert Dinge herum, fremde Jacken an der Garderobe, insgesamt abgewohnte Wohnung, enges winziges Bad, für 6 - 8 Personen eine Zumutung (wir waren zu 4 Personen), keine Leselampen im Schlafboden oben.
Für 6 Personen z.B nur 4 Stühle - 4 Messer, 4 grosse Teller?
- Qualidade do alojamento garantida
- Todos os anfitriões são verificados por telefone.

Well I hived my packages on friday. Today I found eggsign and removed the queen cages. I accidentally ripped a comb from one of the top bars because it was not apparent that it was built onto the queen cage until I already had done significant damage. I ended up removing the damaged comb along with about 50 of the first eggs layed. All the hives are doing well, have taken up 2 sandwich sized ziplock bags full of syrup. I put in two new bags of feed into each hive. They have been storing the syrup and since they are already out foraging I think I will see if these two feedings will be enough.
All hives seem very happy.
Bees sure do built their own comb MUCH MUCH MUCH faster than drawing out foundation. Its not something you even need to measure, you can see how much faster it is. 4 days in a hive with no foundation and the queen is already laying.

Camino Real International Bridge at Eagle Pass, Texas, (bottom) and Piedras
Negras, Mexico
Volunteers needed for May 25 load-up for storm relief
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(May 21, 2007)--On May 25, a team of UTSA students will gather materials for a relief mission to Eagle Pass, Texas, and Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. The project is in response to recent tornadoes that caused severe damage to towns along the Texas-Mexico border.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Volunteers are needed between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., Friday, May 25 to help load furnishings and other relief materials at the home of team leader Emi Sei. Call (830) 968-6664 for directions.
Sei, who led the UTSA Alternative Spring Break service trip to Piedras Negras, helped coordinate the relief effort, along with University Oaks apartments and Chisholm Hall Marketing Director Carolyn Garcia, who assisted in the collection of furnishings and other goods as UTSA students vacated campus residences for the summer.
Sei has spearheaded the majority of the effort with contacts on both sides of the border who provided information on where supplies are needed. She also rented trucks at her own expense to transport the relief supplies to Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras.
Financial donations are being accepted to help cover the cost of fuel and other expenses. Donations also are encouraged for relief supplies such as home furnishings, clothing, towels and linens.
A second relief mission is planned for the weekend of June 2 to transport larger items and any additional donations received to Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras.
For more information, contact Emi Sei at (830) 968-6664 or Carolyn Garcia at (210) 877-4005.

Cowboys corners are good but I'd say they weren't really tested too much throughout that game. Mike Sullivan called a horrible game. Too predicable.
I still haven't gotten a chance to watch the all 22 footage yet, but Claiborne has to be doing something right. he hasn't been contested nearly at all except for early in the Seattle game where he made a nice play on the ball.
Remember 3 picks 1 for TD and 2 basically in red zone. Giant offense spotted'em 21 points. The defense all in all was pretty stingey.
Bucs are a bad team. We made them look better with the 3 1st half turnovers.We lit em up for 41 pts, Boys managed 16 & let their D mutilate Romo while we passed 51 times & they didn't sack Eli once!
whereas it wasnt the prettiest game by the offense, the Dallas D kicked the bucs ***** all afternoon.

Excerpt: "Giants fullback Henry Hynoski has a lot more in common with his father than you might think.
In addition to being his fathers namesake, Hynoski is fast becoming known in NFL circles as a conscientious, multifaceted fullback who not only clears running lanes for his running backs, but also is a threat to do damage with the ball in his hands, just as his father was for the Cleveland Browns, who this week face the Giants, during his brief career.
But thats about where the similarities end, at least according to the elder Hynoski, a former 1975 sixth-round draft pick who saw his budding NFL career come to a premature end, thanks to a shoulder injury." Read more...

A few weeks ago, a friend and I happened to stumble upon a great old-timey store during a trip up to Clemson. No, we weren't in the market for handle-bar mustache wax or a top hat and monocle, but we did want to pick up something we haven't bought in a long time -- a movie from Blockbuster.
Kershaw County Council's work session had a classroom-like atmosphere Thursday as council members heard a nearly hour-long tutorial on the duties of local governments.
For the first time in 14 years, Kershaw County will have a new economic development director in Peggy McLean, chosen to fill the position left vacant by former director Nelson Lindsay.
During his campaign to become Kershaw County Council chairman, Gene Wise often spoke of a need to streamline government operations.
With about one-third of the pro football regular season over, the line between playoff contenders and divisional basement dwellers is becoming clear.
"There's going to be some embarrassing moments out there today," Kershaw County Sheriff's Department (KCSO) Captain Ed Corey said with a laugh as one of his deputies plowed through the dirt and grass at Carolina Motorsports Park.
Several hundred dead fish lining the shores of Lake Wateree have drawn increased concern from area residents.
Kershaw County Council voted 6-1 Tuesday to approve third and final reading of a redistricting ordinance that will transition District 1 into a "non-majority-minority" designation.
Nikki Haley ran for governor on a very electable platform -- transparency, accountability and reform in state government.
The nearly 200-year-old "Little House," an historic home built by Bonds Conway, Kershaw County's first freed slave, will receive a special dedication Nov. 1 on the grounds of the also historic Price House.
Kershaw County Council unanimously voted at a special meeting Thursday to opt out of the city of Camden's proposed tax increment financing (TIF) district.
Food for the Soul, a non-profit, Camden-based ministry, is continuing its sod sale campaign at the Kershaw County Farmers Market this fall to raise funds for projects in the community.
The main goal of Kershaw County First Steps is to strengthen families and ensure a successful starting point for children entering schools in the community. With the organization's opening of two new resource rooms in September, the group's staff hopes it can work even more effectively toward that goal.
It sometimes seems odd that South Carolina voters can play the role of kingmaker in presidential campaigns.
"We would have liked to have been involved in this process a lot earlier," said Kershaw County Councilman Tom Gardner of county council's participation in plans for a new city-built sports complex in Camden.

<p>"She's got a bit of Jessica Rabbit thing going on...". Miss September 1988, Laura Richmond is the star of the latest Playboy Retro. </p>
Sometime in 1988, Playboy received a letter from a woman with stunning features, long fiery red hair and a body that would put Jessica Rabbit to shame. The letter concluded with a thought: what would it be like to pose for Playboy? In September of that year Laura Richmond found out. And the Playboy readership found Laura Richmond…
A Letter from Laura
Dear Playboy—I'm a Texan who found her way to L.A.'s Occidental College, where I study English and talk "bunny." A couple of years ago, my best friend and I started using bunny to describe everyone—"dumb bunny," fashion bunny," etc. Then my boyfriend and I started calling each other bunny in that cutesy way couples have. When we broke up, I told everyone I was no longer a love bunny but a Playboy bunny. Friends gave me Rabbit Head pins, clothes, cigarette lighters—everything. Which led me to wonder what it would be like to pose for Playboy….

Bid thief brewing? Utah rallies to upset Cal in Pac-12 quarterfinals
LAS VEGAS -- After another day of bubble teams spitting the bit left and right, Utah finally has delivered college hoops nation a story line to watch. The Utes, the 10-seed in the Pac-12 tournament, got a tough Jarred Dubois game-tying 3 in the final seconds of regulation and then dominated overtime to dump 2-seed Cal, 79-69. The Utes advance to Friday's semifinals, where they will play the winner of the night's final game between Oregon and Washington.
(h/t @Pac12)
Despite the seed difference, this isn't that surprising an upset. The Pac-12 was the most closely bunched of the major conferences in terms of points per possession in league play, and Utah had swept the Oregon schools on the last weekend of the season. As suggested in the tourney preview, the bracket also shaped up favorably for the Utes, with UCLA, Arizona and Colorado all on the other side, making the bottom half ripe for a surprise run from someone. They're only halfway there, but the Utes are now two wins away from stealing someone's spot in the dance. Teams like Middle Tennessee State, Boise State, Saint Mary's and others around the cutline are hoping this run at some point in the next 48 hours, but it's a bit of fun for everyone else in what's been a pretty stagnant championship week in terms of bubble drama.

Reviews of this property
Fendi and Saša are very friendly hosts who make you feel welcomed. The Studio was clean and cozy. For the hot days the air con worked perfectly fine as well as all utilities in the kitchen and the bathroom. The position of the apartment is alright. It is nearby the little village Kastav and a few kilometres from the cities Rijeka and the lovely holiday place Opatija. Everything is reachable with the local bus connections.
It was a nice studio, but there were some things wrong. It was noisy from 6 o'clock all through traffic! The room was not dark enough at night. The kitchen was inclompeet, no opener, no casserole. The shower head could not be hung. Refrigerator was too small. For older are too many stairs. You can not sit outside, which is definitely a problem! Fine was the baker downstairs and the bar was nice too.
Het was een leuke studio, maar er waren toch wat dingen niet goed. Het was er rumoerig, vanaf een uur of 6 al doorgaand verkeer! De kamer was niet donker genoeg in de nacht. Het keukentje was inclompeet, geen opener, geen braadpan. De douchekop kon niet opgehangen worden. Koelkast was te klein. Voor oudere zijn het te veel trappen. Je kunt niet buiten zitten, dat is zeker een probleem! Fijn was de bakker beneden en de kroeg was ook leuk.
Super housing, brand new, very clean and functional. Super price / quality ratio. In addition Kastav is a very pretty village that is worth seeing!
Super logement, tout neuf, très propre et fonctionnel. Super rapport qualité/prix. En plus Kastav est un très joli village qui vaut le détour !
L'appartamento è nuovo e molto funzionale, il posto splendido.
I proprietari sono gentili e disponibili a soddisfare ogni esigenza, nessun problema di comunicazione con loro durante la prenotazione e durante il soggiorno. Consigliatissimo.
Das Apartment war sehr ansprechend und die Vermieter sehr nett und die Ausstattung war gut. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte einwandfrei. Die Lage an einer Kreuzung war laut aber bei geschlossenem Fenster war es zum schlafen ausreichend.
Der Bäcker im gleichen Hause bietet jederzeit leckere Sachen an. In dem Cafe konnte man auch guten Espresso genießen und im Normalbetrieb hörte man in dem Appartment nichts.

text: About a week or so ago, I saw a couple of bees in my back yard. I thought it might be fun to try to entice them to a nuc box I had laying around so I started to put out sugar water in an open top feeder and in a quart baggie. I put some LGO on a couple of q-tips in the bottom of the nuc and added one frame of foundation. As you can see in the picture, there's lots of action. Question.... how can I improve the possibility of them swarming to the nuc when it gets a little warmer?

Seems like a nice improvement over the outgoing model--if I do buy a car next year I was toying with the idea of the S5 too, but I don't know if I'd go for the 6-speed or 7-speed. That is a really pretty color, too.
It seems too cold because the S4 has beat the last two generation 335s.
They seemed to have made it a bit less clinical, though. I still think the pre-refresh model was cleaner looking, but the more I look at this model the more I like it, I think I would have to see them side by side to really decide.
I think the S5 either with the 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual clutch is a great balance for well to do folks who want an every day sports car.A) Good performance0-60 in 4.8s, which is as fast as anyone can use, even if they do some occasional road-course/track days.good handling, especially with the sport rear diff (which I consider a must have option)B) All weather usablityBasically the best AWD system in the business, get a set of snow tires for the winter and this thing is unstoppable. C) Good everyday drivabilityIt won't beat you up on surface streets, can have a relaxed demeanor when needed, gets 17/26 even despite the fantastic performance.D) Sexy, yet professionalIt won't make you look like you're having a midlife crisis, like you're trying to relive the fast and furious days, like it belongs in front of a sorority house. It's a sexy car, yet you can take your boss's boss for a drive.
____________________Because it totally worked when Lincoln did it.
The pre-refresh catches the eye more in my opinion.
I've never really been a fan the "coupes based on sedans" segment. I just don't see any advantage in getting this over the mechanically identical S4.
------------------------------You can have an opinion, just be prepared to be relentlessly mocked for it.Warning: This post may cause cancer in the state of California.
No children, the looks, and exclusivity. My brother wanted one.
I don't think anyone buys a coupe for any measurable advantages over a sedan.
Bellanca5.0:I don't think anyone buys a coupe for any measurable advantages over a sedan.Subjective mostly
I like the S5, it is a sharp car. But I know that if I were to go to the Audi dealer to drive one, I'd drive an S4 as well and decide that it would be nice to have the second set of doors.
------------------------------You can have an opinion, just be prepared to be relentlessly mocked for it.Warning: This post may cause cancer in the state of California.
I'd get the S4.
The A4/S4 have never done anything for me aesthetically, they're kind of boring to look at, a car has to garner my attention for me to think about even buying it.
The most affluent people in the segment don't mind because of the interiors.

A collection of children under the age of 15, these many kids believe that they can do whatever they want, troll, harrass, and spread personal info about people, this collection of kids should be avoided at all costs as you will probably catch downs for getting too close. Their idea of a group is kind of like the child crusades, by the time they get to their goal they will be big and strong and ready for troll action but really.....they're still just going to be little kids and will get slaughtered.

By APC for APCNews
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, 13 May 2010
For four days from March 31, fifteen women gathered at the Feminist Tech Exchange in the Brazzaville (Congo) Digital Campus. Participants and trainers alike came from human and women's rights organisations, the media and politics to learn more about how to use technology to end violence against women and girls. APC member Azur Développement was involved in putting on the event which talked about the hows and whys of blogging, using video, audio and mobile phones, as well as social networking. The FTX is a part of the APC's Take Back the Tech! to end violence against women project in twelve countries.
