Is there an amount of beetles where that it just becomes hopeless for a hive to combat. I have a hive that has loads of them, just wondering if it is a lost cause.
Is there an amount of beetles where that it just becomes hopeless for a hive to combat. I have a hive that has loads of them, just wondering if it is a lost cause.
Yes, beetles can overcome a hive. Oil traps can help--both the hanging ones and the bottom tray type. Seems a shame to just give up on the hive without a fight. There is a thread on here somewhere about converting existing screened bottom boards to use a tray for oil that might be helpful for you. Also FatBeeMan has a video about using boric acid traps that can help too, on his You-Tube channel.
Good luck!

Go to lowes or home depot and get a cordless dewault shop vac and get the mini attachment kit that has an attachment about the size of a straw. Open the hive an suck every one out you can, it will even suck them out of the comb, then start using the traps Rusty talked about. That will give the bees a fighting chance to catch up, but the bees can just get overrun by the little turds.
with a ton of beetles the rap should help at least get the populations down to manageble.... get some gaurdstar
Last year, my "weak" hive was over-run with hive beetles so I converted the screened bottom board to an oil trap similar to the one in the link I've attached. This guy uses a mixture of petroleum jelly & baby oil. He even paints the stand legs with this mixture to keep out fire ants & other nefarious critters.
My former weak hive is now my strong hive & is bustling with activity.
Just finished building and installing a sbb beetle trap, it appears like it will work and it only cost a couple of bucks to make.
If you use gardstar on the ground around the hive. How lind will the hatched beetles live in the hive or how long till you see a reduction in.beetles
Beetles pupate in the ground around the hive. But first they do their damage in the hive while laying all those eggs and THAT is where they need to be controlled. The gardstar is helpful but it is not going to give you control. You can get the same level of control using diatamaceous earth (DE) around your hives, but it is still not enough by itself. Heck, while I was in Florida, I could stand outside my hives in the evening and watch the beetles fly into my hives from surrounding hives in the area. Trap them inside your hives for the best results.

The best defense against SHB is a strong hive. However, even a strong hive can succumb to SHB. Sometimes you just have to treat when all your traps are not controlling them. Checkmite + is the approved treatment. You need to pull any supers first. Forget Garstar.......just too expensive .......look to other posts for an alternative that has the same ingredients but is much cheaper.
I used mostly plastic frames, but because of SHB I'll go to wood frames with plastic inserts. There are just too many nooks & crannies in the all plastic frames for the SHB to hide.
Just how I'd do it........

Here's a link to Intheswamp's Simple Oil Tray modification... http://www.beesource.com/forums/show...-mod-for-sbb-s
Two caveats...beware of rain water entering the trap and make sure the gap between the bottom side of the bottom board and the lip of the oil tray is too small for bees to pass through.
Isaac, could you share a description of the location of your hive with the high beetle population? Full sun, partial shade, full shade, etc.,? Rocky ground, deep topsoil, clay, etc.,? Dry or moist area? Strong or weak hive?
Isaac, it sounds like some good conditions for the beetles...and even though it's in full sun if the sun's behind clouds, well, I guess that kind of negates the impact of location in full sunlight. I'm probably a bit out there with this but I tend to think the beetles "sense" the micro-climate surrounding the bee hives and pass judgement on whether it is a good place "to raise their kids" or not. My hives are in full sun on probably ~2' of sandy loam, too, though it seems to drain fairly readily. My beetle population has been somewhat low, no major infestatations...yet.
I'm trying to take a three-fold approach to the beetles. Top, in-hive, and bottom. I've sat one hive aside as a "test hive". I've sat the prototype of the ISOT beneath a colony that I cut out last summer. I just put it into service yesterday when I added the mineral oil and nailed on an "awning" over the entrance to help with rain blowing into the tray. I'm hoping that the awning will also help to redirect the beetles to the sides of the opening and down to the porch/bottom level for entry rather than them simply entering by around the upper edge of the front entrance. I hope the other hives don't get jealous over the extra "bling" that this colony's getting. The beetle's *may* be able to enter the hive through the small gap between the tray and bottom board but they will have to keep out of the oil tray...entering the front of the hive the extra modification of the metal flashing and slits will offer the beetles a nice dark refuge from the harassing bees.
Inside the hives I have Beetle Jail Juniors. I'm seeing that the bees do seem to herd the beetles to the sides of the hive where (for now) not much storage actiivity is happening...but, they are found elsewhere, too. I like to keep a trap close to the escape/feeder holes in the inner cover. I will use 2-3 traps per hive...filled with mineral oil...vegetable oil seems to go rancid too quickly and attracts ants like crazy, too. The FAMILY DOLLAR STORE has a pint of mineral oil for $2 down here...best price that I've seen, but I'd love to find it cheaper. I use it in the trays and in the Beetle Jails.
Topside is where I feel that my protection is the weakest. I'm using telescoping covers on most of my hives and on the "bling" hive. Our neighbors "down yonder" in Australia have been using the equivalent of Handi-Wipes...those tough reusable but disposable wipes people use for dishes, countertops, etc,. Some of the Aussies are using them in-hive, but some bees also get tangled in the "fuzz" that traps the beetles by tangling up their barbed legs. Some put them in cd cases, some on top of inner covers. I'm going the last route for now...on top of the inner cover. My escape/feeder holes are screened with #8 so bees can't get too the Handi-Wipes and get tangled in them. I haven't caught any beetles in mine yet, but I haven't seen a high number of beetles nor any on top of the inner cover since installing the wipes so the jury is still out on this tactic for me. I got my copycat Handi-Wipes at "The Dollar Tree"...eight "Buddy Wipes" for $1...one wipe should work per inner cover.
Well, that's my tactics for the time being...time will tell have effective they are.
Could you post of picture of your oil tray trap? I'd like to see how you made it...I'm always looking for different designs...the simpler the better!
Best wishes,
This is just my own theory, but I suspect that the reason Shb are controlled better when hives are in the sun is that the sun baked ground under the hives is less hospitable for their life cycle. Hive conditions are probably harder for the bees in hot areas. Just a theory.
Btw - I had this problem a few months ago, and as much as I hated to - I used the checkmite. It wipe out pretty much all beetles in about a week. One hive I left it in for two weeks. Coumaphos is nasty, last resort stuff, but I believe it saved my bees. So far so good.
I believe that my Shb problem was a result of our bad dearth and subsequent poor nutrition last summer.

Gallup crumble: ObamaCare underwater again, GOP surges on generic ballot
posted at 6:05 pm on March 29, 2010 by Allahpundit
The One's bounce has already started to fade but the numbers for the bill itself were an open question since Gallup's shocker last week showing a surge of support to 49/40. Momentary spike due to glowing media coverage of the historic historicness of passage? Or a sustained rise as Americans reconcile themselves psychologically to their horrific new boondoggle?
An answer, perhaps:
In the poll, 50% call passage of the bill "a bad thing" and 47% say it was "a good thing." That's at odds with the findings of a one-day USA TODAY Poll taken a week ago — a day after the U.S. House approved the legislation — in which a 49%-40% plurality called the bill "a good thing."…
The failure of the new law to get even plurality support is especially sobering for House Democrats from competitive congressional districts who heeded pleas from the White House and congressional leaders to vote "yes." The legislation passed 219-212, with just three votes to spare.
"There was on the Democratic side a burst of enthusiasm after it passed saying, 'Ah, now voters are being won over,' " says Charles Franklin, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who studies polling. "The cumulating data this past seven days says that, no, a miracle didn't happen and the public didn't suddenly change their views on this. It means that the Democrats still face a tough sell of a public close to evenly divided on this and even slightly more opposed than in favor, and that difficulty didn't go away with passage."
And here's some completely unrelated news, I'm sure:
To give you a sense of how startling it is for the GOP to actually lead on the generic ballot, revisit this Gallup piece from November comparing major electoral waves to the generic ballot polling that preceded them. The Democrats almost always lead; even in the red tide of 1994, the final generic ballot showed the parties even at 46/46. What does that mean for this year? Well, Gallup constructed the following statistical model to try to predict Democratic gains or losses.
So unexpectedly low is 44 percent that they didn't even bother to model it. Although the results are clear enough: If these numbers held on election day, you'd be looking at upwards of 60 seats flipping. Which isn't the first time we've heard that speculation.
But wait. If Democratic enthusiasm is surging due to passage of O-Care, how can it be that the GOP's actually gaining on the generic ballot? This was the left's big argument, after all — that only by ramming that beast through and energizing the base could they save themselves in November. Well, here's your answer:
They lit a fire under progressives' asses — and under independents' and Republicans' too. Riling up your base doesn't help much if it riles up your opponents' base almost as much, especially when that opponent's starting at higher enthusiasm levels to begin with. And a fearless prediction for you on that note: As hot to vote as Republicans are now, that number will actually go up as the year drags on. A 15-point edge is not necessarily the high-water mark here, or so I suspect.
One last note. I've been dumping on national polls periodically with the reminder that there is no "national" House election, only 435 local ones. It's the swing states, as always, that count. So how's O-Care faring these days in a swing state The One carried two years ago? Why, worse than it is in the national poll: 34/54, with 62 percent of independents and 65 percent of seniors disapproving. "Senator Rubio" sure has a nice ring to it.

Rain and thunderstorms have benefited fruit, vegetable, arable and feed crops but this week's rain is probably not been enough to lift pasture growth around rural Hawke's Bay.
Hawke's Bay Regional Council's "state of our environment" report for January released this week showed rainfall was below normal for the fifth consecutive month. The region recorded 62 per cent of its normal rainfall in December and 51 per cent in January.
Comments supplied for the report from the Ministry of Primary Industries said the lack of rain meant lower pasture growth and the result was that feed for stock was very short in most of the region.
"No spring feed was carried into the summer. Many farmers have been forced to sell more lambs at store or at lighter weights to protect the live-weight of capital stock," the report said.
"Cattle sales are also occurring earlier than normal as feed supplies dwindle."
Areas which were typically dry in summer were now reported to be "very dry" with a few farmers under significant pressure.
"Unless there is decent rain by mid-March these dry conditions will be come a significant event for the pastoral sector," the report said. At the other end of the spectrum, the fruit and vegetable crops were faring well from dry, warm conditions with low disease pressure.
"Most growers have access to adequate irrigation, although high irrigation demand will mean an increase in production costs," the ministry said.
"If conditions are favourable into harvest, an excellent grape vintage is promised."
Federated Farmers president and Te Pohue farmer Bruce Wills said this week's sudden rain had put some confidence back into the industry, especially for sheep farmers in Hawke's Bay.
"They've now believe that yes, it can rain again and it's while it's a great boost it's not nearly enough.
"We probably need about three of four more days of this kind of weather."
Mr Wills, who hosted the Ministry for Primary Industries, Nathan Guy, on Tuesday, said most parts of the region recorded about 20mls to 40mls of rain since Monday.
"We had the minister out at Central Hawke's Bay to show him how dry it is there. I thanked him firstly for coming and then for bringing the rain," Mr Wills said.
"The rain has been pretty patchy but it's been enough to kick start a bit of growth where pasture has remained green but for other places it's just settled the dust and we'll need more to recharge our pasture land."

Cheryl, hiding away in my quilting studio
I have a ruler, that you can do something similar with fabric. A weak moment at a quilting show, have not used it yet and to tell you the truth not quite sure where it is. It was nice looking. Have to look later.
Thanks so much for this, I had wanted to try doing some of these, but didn't want to invest in the ruler. I will have to make some of these.
I just bought a ruler, today, to cut these! It keeps you from cutting in too far. The third color is the backing piece.

The room was pretty big and looks exactly like in the pictures! It was clean, the kitchen has everything you need and the location of the apartment is very central. Unfortunately the wifi did not work...but I would recommend the apartment.Thank you!
We asked for an invoice for our 7 days accomodation. Wimdu technical support immediately responded and said that the house owner will contact with us.
However nobody contacted with us and for 7 days we have written this to Wimdu many times and no response from Wimdu. Maybe Wimdu could not communicate with the house owner as well but this does not explain no response .
Hakan Dincel
Hello Kazzos, we had a good time in London and your accomodation is very clean and cosy! Thank you for this. Your wifi did not work-unlucky because we had no chance to book our return-ticket for our departure. And one important hint: The locker of the door was open (!) when we arrived. Luckily we were the first persons who discovered it.
Poor performance.
The flat is located in a very hip area, so if you visit London, this is definitely the area to be around Brick Lane - but I cannot recommend the place itself as it lacks any comfort or even standard.
There are 4 bedrooms that are exclusively rented to visitors - so if you hope for some Londoners and insiders - better forget about it. It's like a 'hotel-house' that runs itself. (Except there are cleaning ladies the day you leave.)
With whomever you travel - you have to share the bedsheets. And the bed already had its days... It is half-decent but not clean and it still gives me shivers when I think about the bathroom: The drain of the bathtub (where approx. 7 PAX shower each morning, If every guest that 'fits' in the house showers), was blocked every morning and evening - so better be the first to shower! Otherwise you're standing in what is left from your forerunner.
There is no one to give or take the key, you receive it via pincode from a little locker next to the frontdoor - but that door was barely closed or locked during our stay - so that didn't really meet my standards of feeling safe somewhere.
Also the backyard - may it be an important aspect or not - looks abandoned scruffy. So this is definitely one of the cheapest stays, but still not worth its price. I can not recommend it and I will not come back again. It is just a place someone makes a lot of money with, because the demand allows him to do so.
The room is perfect for several days. It's big, the bed is comfortable and the sofa is great to sit after a long wallking day. The bathroom and the shower are clean.
The kitchen has all the stuffs needed to cook, everybody keep it properly.
The only inconvenience is a noisy plumbing, That's not a problem for people who can sleep without problem like us.
This room would be great if the landlador would pay attention to the garden, currently it's not possible have access because the door is close.
The location is close to markets where you can buy everything you need. You will find a bus stop and underground line in less than 10 minutes connected perfectly with the center town.
Javier & Marta
So the standard of the room corresponds to the amount I paid for rent (outside the radiator who was permanently switched on and there was no possibility of its closure). Ktchen was of a good Standard. The bathroom was so small the person with overweight certainly to her would not fit. We could not to use the shower and washbasin because the tub was clogged all the time. The pipes in the bathroom leaked water all the time on ground floor.
So far as I can this apartment to recommend for the future.
Beata Fojt
It was a nice and big room with door to the garden. We liked it very much. There was a well equipped kitchen and a little bath and separat a little toilet and friendly and quiet other guests. It was a good and quiet place to start in a day. We also liked east end.
Plus: Location of the place is very good. Close to Metro station and bus stops and there are many shops in close proximity. The room is big.
Minus: we could not stay there at our first night as the guest before us did not check out. An alternative place was provided for our first night, but we lost time during our short stay as we had to move the other day around 11 am and could not start our sightseeing as planned.
Our room was in the basement and the door towards the backyard had no lock at all!!! Anyone could have gone into our room while entering from the garden. This is really someting the owner should fix very soon. I also wrote a message several days ago but did not get any answer yet.
The promised hairdryer was not there. The bathroom is very small and we shared the appartment with seven people in total. The last two days there was no toilett paper anymore and no one checked in the meanwhile.
Plus some other guet kept us up every night as they started cooking after midnight. In summary, I would not go there again as all these points made our stay unnecessarily complicated...

How many numbers do we remember each day? Phone numbers, alarm codes, passwords, bank account balances, birthdays. None of these is as important as knowing your health numbers. An up-to-date knowledge of your health numbers can literally save your life.
Brenda Watson discusses knowing your numbers and how you can test them at home in her revolutionary Heart of Perfect Health PBS special airing nationwide on PBS stations throughout March. The show covers the myths about cholesterol, the nutrients you need to get your health back on track and reduce your risk of heart disease, how to check your health numbers, and the simple, transformative steps you can take every day to reverse America's #1 killer, heart disease.
The 3 Numbers You Must Know
The three top signs of heart disease risk are also the three top signs of silent inflammation, a chronic pre-disease state in the body that many of us have without knowing it. Research is linking silent inflammation to the root of heart and cardiovascular disease, not to mention conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer's, and even certain cancers.
The good news is you can reverse your silent inflammation by knowing your health numbers and taking the necessary steps to get these numbers within a healthy range. The 3 health numbers you need to know are:
- Cholesterol, which should be no higher than 200mg
- Blood pressure, which should be no higher than 120 over 80
- Blood sugar (fasting blood glucose), which should be no higher than 85
High cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar are the top 3 signs your body is in a state of silent inflammation, and they are major heart health risk markers. Together these high numbers double your risk of cardiovascular disease by causing the arteries to harden and thicken, by stimulating plaque build-up along blood vessels, and by increasing bad LDL cholesterol.
You should be testing yourself more often than once a year to see where your numbers are and you can perform these tests at home. You can get your cholesterol checked at lab sites online, buy your own blood pressure cuff for at-home use, and find a do-it-yourself glucose meter at your local drugstore to monitor your blood sugar levels. There is no need to wait for your annual doctor's visit when you should know these numbers throughout the year to see how well you are doing in keeping them within a healthy range.
Check back in the next couple of days to learn more about the #1 nutrient that helps reduce your risk of heart disease and helps keep your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar healthy!

I have found a couple bee trees in the area I live and I was wondering, if I wanted to catch a swarm coming off these trees, how close/far would you put a bait hive?
One of the bee trees is a Eucalyptus in my yard that I am going to leave feral, but I would like to try and catch a swarm off of it either this year or next, so if I was to put a bait hive up, how far away would you put it? I have a grove of about 15-20 Eucalyptus trees and the closest other trees are about 300 yards or so away.
The other bee tree is in a creek area in city limits. I am thinking about putting a few bait hives in that area for next spring, and its only a hundred yards from where I caught my first swarm this year!! It should be pretty easy to paint up a green camo nuc and set it where people wont screw with it deep in the tree area!!
Also, I made some Coates nucs which I intend to use as bait hives, I plan on putting a few frames with foundation in them and I think I read about lemon grass oil on a cotton ball or something??
Thanks for any help in putting bait hives up!!..................Jason

A story from a STARLAB student: One of the fondest memories I have of elementary school were the days when I saw the big silver dome blown up in the gym. I crawled into the tunnel illuminated by a single flashlight at the end, and when my teacher turned it off, the sky lit up above me. 20 years later, the manic of the sky and stories of the constellations and the stars stay with me. I find myself looking up still, telling the stories to my friends and marveling at the amazing depths of space an…Andrea Hunter
Your attention to your customers is amazing! I appreciate all your assistance with the Starlab. The trainings energize our team!Thank you again, Kathy Hopen, CCDF DirectorKathy Hopen
We have set up the Starlab and tested all the equipment and I am happy to say that we are thrilled with everything.There were no problems or questions about anything.Thank you for all of your help, and your patience.Dawn Olive

The Star Lab has been an invaluable educational tool for us over the years. More and more research comes out each year supporting the conclusion that hands-on, experiential learning is more effective than sitting at a desk and listening to a lecture. If that is true, and I believe wholeheartedly that it is, then the Star Lab is an excellent way to provide that sort of education!
I don't think anyone is going to wipe the smile off of my face for a while. I know all of my students would thank you also, they love the dome and have told me how much it has not only helped them understand the astronomy standards I am teaching, but they now have a new interest in exploring the sky at night. Thanks again!Cheryl

Josephine County OR Jail
Josephine County OR Jail is a County Jail used by the jurisdictions of Josephine to confine inmates for short periods while awaiting trial or processing. As inmates are staying for usually less than one year, therefore it has fewer amenities than a jail or prison. Inmates do, however, have access to limited recreation, a library, the telephone, as well as bathroom facilities and with three square meals per day. Use the inmate search feature to find an inmate here. This jails is operated by the county government's sheriff.
Many inmate detainees are delivered daily. A considerable number of people arriving at a jail are actively or recently drunk or high, arrive with injuries from fights/assaults that led to their arrest, and/or are mentally ill with no other place for law enforcement to deliver them. Some may stay less than one day or only for a few days, until they are released in a court proceeding after putting up bail. These offenders are released to a pretrial services caseload, and are placed under supervision by the probation office, or released on their own recognizance - a tacit agreement to make every court appearance.
Like most county jails this is designed in "pods" with a large common area where the tables are affixed to the floor along with attached seats. There are individual cells usually on two levels. There are times where the inmates must remain in their cells, and other times where the inmates all congregate in the pod playing cards, games, reading or watching television. The inmates do not leave the pod unless they are escorted by unarmed correctional officers (COs) - whether it is a trip to the commissary, the library or the recreation area, there is constant supervision. The county jail is considered a less stressful environment than prison.

Ricker Polsdorfer, MD
Rhythm disturbances occur frequently enough to go unnoticed by most people. They can be fleeting and unpredictable. Under normal conditions, the heart corrects its misstep and continues beating as it should. In some people, arrhythmias can last longer, affecting the heart's ability to function properly. Longer lasting issues may be the result of conduction problems or ischemia, a reduction in blood supply to the heart.
It is possible for arrhythmias to go undetected until symptoms and complications appear. Loss of heart function may become noticeable when you experience symptoms. This may indicate the heart is unable to meet the body's demands.
Conduction problems may cause:
Ischemia can affect any organ or tissue in the body, including the heart muscle. The heart muscle needs a sufficient supply of blood and oxygen to work properly. When the heart muscle does not get enough blood, you may notice symptoms.
Ischemia may cause:
Over time, ischemia can damage the heart muscle. Damage and scarring can lead to heart arrhythmias.
Some arrhythmias you may feel are harmless, but others can be serious. Serious arrhythmias may cause a
heart attack,
sudden cardiac arrest, or death. If you experience any of these symptoms, call for emergency medical services right away.

Marnix Verduyn was working in the financial services when he decided it was time for a career move. Leaving the security of his steady job behind, in a few years he developed himself to be one of the most prominent hopes of Belgian comix under his pen name Nix. He has published his work in Le Vif Focus, Yeti, PAN, Spirou, Le Feraille Illustré, De Standaard, De Morgen and Focus Knack.
He became the topical cartoonist for De Morgen and eventually created the absurd gag strip 'Kinky & Cosy' for this paper in October 2001. The comic has been collected in books by Silvester, and was adapted into animation films for the Belgian TV show 'Volt'. The strip has also appeared in Dutch magazines Incognito and MYX, but is nowadays published directly in albums, although it also appears in Dutch magazine Eppo since January 2012.
Another notable creation by Nix is the 'Café du Commerce' newspaper comic for De Standaard. The comic 'Ief de Chief' was a hilarious parody of the tensions between the commercial and editorial divisions of the De Morgen newspaper. It was published in the very same Belgian daily, featuring spine-chilling portraits of the newspaper's sportscar-driving owner and main editor. His comic strip about the aspiring cowboy 'Billy Bob' has appeared in Spirou and was nominated for best children's comic at the Angoulême Comics Festival in 2012. The first book was published in Dutch by Blloan and in French by Les Requins Marteaux.
Additionally, Nix was present in Zone 5300 with the photo comic 'Kwakzalver en Knettergek'. Nix has published his cartoons and comix in anthologies like 'Hardnekkige vlekken' since 1998. His work is nowadays published in Dutch by Silvester and in French by Le Lombard. Nix has also made comics and cartoons for anthologies and seasonal books like 'Hic Sunt Leones', 'Hippoliet en Zeno in de Ruimte', 'Fin de Semaine', and 'De XII Werken van Vanoudenhoven'. He is a teacher in cartooning with the Comics Section of the Saint-Luc in Brussels, and is also active as a stand-up comedian, comics reviewer for Studio Brussel and animator for TMF.
Since 2016 he is on the editorial board of the Flemish comics information magazine Stripgids, together with comic artists Simon Spruyt, Marc Legendre and Judith Vanistendael, and journalists Karl van den Broeck and Roel Daenen.

Family, friends say goodbye to Kiana O'Neil
Funeral, memorials held for local teen shot Dec. 23
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - On the day of her funeral, more than 100 people gathered at Springs Ranch Park on the city's northeast side Saturday to remember Kiana O'Neil, 14.
Police said O'Neil was mistakenly shot to death on the morning of Dec. 23 by her stepfather, Daniel Meade, 29, who thought she was a burglar. The shooting occurred in the family's home on Ascendant Drive.
A candlelight vigil was held at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the park. Attendees brought purple balloons in her memory. The crowd gathered for about 20 minutes with no speeches. No one spoke to the media at the request of Kiana's family.
The audience later moved to Springs Ranch Elementary. The park is near Kiana's home and Vista Ridge High School where she was a freshman.
Earlier on Saturday, Kiana was laid to rest in La Jara, south of her hometown of Alamosa.
The district attorney's office will decide whether Meade should face criminal charges in the case.

Hello everyone,
I am a newbie here that recently signed up as I am seriously interested in purchasing a STI. (2015) My first and only car is a 1.8T GTI (2000) which I still love and would never sell it to anyone, but I feel like it is time to purchase another vehicle as I recently relocated to CA and I know for sure that my car will not pass a smog test.
When I first purchased the GTI in used condition, (I bought it in 07) I was too naive to research prior to purchasing. (Had I known mk4s are the most troublesome generation ahead of time, I wouldn't have purchased it) I would say I paid for the latter as I ended up replacing the transmission twice (went from automatic to 6 spd as I had to strengthen the weakest link) and countless parts that costed me an arm and a leg simply because it was from german. I have no regret, however, as I learned to work on my car and I am now fairly confident to perform any major maintenance work without much issue.
Although I like my car, I think it's time to experience things my car did not offer -- I would like to buy a vehicle that doesn't require more than the regular maintenance work and have fun with it. I used to autocross, track and I would like to participate in near future once I am settled in CA.
What is it like to own a STI? Subaru's been on my radar for a long time and it is currently one of my top 3 cars to buy. (2015 mustang vs 2009 Cayman S vs 2015 STI) I am well aware that you got to pay to play, so any comments about maintenance cost & reliability is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Works great as a quick fix for Psorasis patches, to keep the area mosist and stays on long enough for the patch to heal. Much safer than steriod creams. Other psorasis sufferers should try it as well.

This is an absolutely wonderful skin oil. -It has very delicious and plesant cocoa scent that stays on the skin -It moisturizes even very dry skin -It's comfortable to use it because it's in the spray form - you don't spill it or put too much -Very reasonable price It didn't have any effect on stretch marks I have but I think it rather prevents them from appearing - no cosmetic mean can make them disappear. I'd certainly recommend it to everyone.

text: Okay friends, I need some help. I have a swarm that moved into an old cedar tree trunk. The crevice that they moved into is about two inches wide and about thirty inches long. Its too narrow and deep to vacuum the bees out. I took a roofing boot and placed it against the tree, then wrapped the rest of the trunk with celafain/pallet stretch wrap to force the bees to enter and exit at a single point. Next, I took a cardboard NUC and drilled a two-inch hole in the back and connect the NUC and roofing boot with a pipe. Now, the bees have to pass in and out through the NUC. My ideal was to restrict airflow where the bee would be unable to regulate the temperature deep in the tree, and move into the NUC. Even in 105-degree heat the bees have not budged. They did take a frames worth of honey that I placed in the NUC as an enticement. My wrap is not tight enough to fill the tree with water, so my question is if there is a chemical that will force the queen off the nest without hurting her?

Plax just made an appearance on First Take. He basically was complaining (whining, although somewhat justifiable) about how teams are making the decision not to give him a chance bc of off field past issues, not what he can do on the field.
He made the point that last season, was all based on talent, and that this season he's "fully back". Sounded like sour grapes from Plax, all the while self promoting and saying he could outplay a lot of starters.
What a fall from grace. To SB Champ, multi yr contract with guaranteed money to begging for a shot on First Take...
and fwiw, I wouldnt be surprised if it was politics thats keeping him off a roster, I'd bet he probably would look much better than he did last year.
