A note to say welcome Dee, Not that there was anything wrong with your work , Barry! I'll post my plan of action soon. Any update on your progress Barry?
John Sewell
Hi John -
An update is coming. I'm way behind on it, I know, but the hives are doing well and I already have the current pictures loaded but need to do the writing yet.
Time, time, time .... need more of it!
Hello John,
How are you doing working on your plan of action. Any progress yet?
I cannot wait to see what you have planned to do. But I know that it will be good and logical knowing you.
Dee A. Lusby
Hi there Barry
How are you doing on your update? Gotten your pictures ready yet?
Did you manage to get your bees ready well enough to over winter?
Cannot hardly wait to read what you have to say and see.
Dee A. Lusby
Hi Dee -
I currently have both hives situated for the winter, each in 2 deeps. I have a lot of pictures waiting to be linked from the web page and I know I've been extremely late in updating the page but there have been many other things to do these last few months and it will be a good job to do when I can no longer be out due to weather. It's been very mild here in the Midwest so our Fall has given us many more days to be outside working. Here are a just a couple of links to some of the photos showing results.
This is some very well drawn out 4.9 comb from foundation on the 2nd regression. http://www.beesource.com/eob/4dot9/49.2ndreg1.htm
Here you see a frame with a lot of drone cells mixed in with cells measuring 4.9. http://www.beesource.com/eob/4dot9/49.2ndreg4.htm
Here is a typical frame of 4.9. Notice how there is still a fair amount of transition comb. http://www.beesource.com/eob/4dot9/49.2ndreg5.htm
Here are a couple from the first swarm I hived on strips. http://www.beesource.com/eob/4dot9/h1broodss.htm http://www.beesource.com/eob/4dot9/h2comb4.htm
Before I did the second shakedown, varroa was showing up in the drone cells of these hives. Here is a picture: http://www.beesource.com/eob/4dot9/h2varroa.htm
After they built new comb the 2nd time around, I saw VERY FEW varroa for the rest of the year till now. I have 7 other hives all around these two and I had very high levels of varroa in them much earlier than ever before. So the environmental pressure on the 4.9 hives for varroa was quite high. I treated all the other hives with Apistan and left the 4.9 hives go. I saw a lot of interesting behavior traits in these hives that I've never seen in my others. Chewing out pupa that had varroa on them to name one.
At this point, I'm optimistic about these two hives and I'll be splitting from them next spring should they both make it through the winter. I have a big stack of 4.9 foundation waiting to be installed in the Illinois medium frames I have which I'll be converting entirely over to this next year. No more deeps for my back.
That's my update.
Nice one Barry, My turn to be way behind on replies I'll catch up soon! That larvae on the lower right of the varroa picture looks pretty sick. Is that what's called chewed out?
"That larvae on the lower right of the varroa picture looks pretty sick."
Hi John -
Very observant! Actually, I cut this chunk of drone comb out of a frame and didn't take the picture for a few days later. The larva tend to "swell" out of the cell in time, exposing the mites. The larva you see that look dark and diseased are just dark due to the fact that this chunk of comb was sitting in my shop for days and they are starting to decompose. They all were nice and white when I took the comb.
Juandefuca reckons his bees are drawing even 4.9 from commercially available foundation, yet still showing very heavy mite drop. You say at the end of the season there was a marked decrease in visible varroa, do you measure drop? Could you see much difference in the size of your bees?
Hello John -
I think it's a bit more complicated situation trying to compare my bees with Juandefuca's as he has mentioned in other posts that he still uses a wide spectrum of chemicals in his hives.
Juandefuca wrote:
"Other medications , such as formic acid , menthol , etc poses hereto an unresolved matter also. At least for me it is."
"None this spring in any colony after miticide application)"
"The only way I can tell is an application to those colonies with a higher percentage with the standby chemicals , i. e. coumaphose , fluvalinate and formic acid."
I hope I didn't take any of this out of context and would hope Juandefuca would correct me if I did. But it appears we can not compare our hives as equals if we take this into account. I don't know if he has any hives on 4.9 cell size where he has NOT treated with any chemical or drug. I have chosen to go that route with my 4.9 hives as that will be the real test.
The photo of the drone comb showing varroa on the larva came out of one of the hives on its first regression where the worker bee cells measured 5.2 mm on average. It was also early in the season, sometime in early June if memory serves me. I was very concerned seeing this much varroa in the cells, this early. I decided I should go ahead and shakedown again to get the bees on 4.9, asap, to help them fight the mite better.
Once I broke the cycle and they got going on the 4.9 foundation, I never saw a varroa mite again in these hives. That's not to say there are none, but I've found looking at drone larva to be a pretty good method of monitoring varroa. Keep in mind too, that, I have 7 other hives within arms length of these hives so the environmental pressure on them is pretty high.
I have not measured mite drop as I don't see the purpose for it. Either they thrive on their own without chemicals or they die. Perhaps as I get settled next year with getting all my other colonies changed over to 4.9, I'll find time to do some of this. This year it took all my free time just keeping up with the swarms and regressing 2 hives down.
It is quite obvious, the smaller size in bees. But hey, who says bigger is better!
Yeah, I also rely on drone brood trapping and checking. I think mite drop is a bit pointless if you don't want to treat...you have to assume varroa is there, or will be.
The brood break sounds like a pretty fair varroa control method too. When you shook down what did you do with the infested comb?
Are you saying the drugs encourage disease...surely control by small cell plus control by medication would work together? You seem to imply that because Juan has treated small cell colonies they are infected?
Regards John.
I would like to approach this from a different angle. I have been an organic gardener for almost 40 years. In those days we used some bad chemicals. In the early days of chemical use, I noticed really bad infestations of insects if I was not diligent with my chemicals. This made me think I was harming the ability of the plants to help themselves.
Over the years I have learned that plants, like most living things, have evolved using their own bacteria and enzymes to fight disease. For instance, if I have a few potato bugs on my potato plants, I gather some in a cup, fill the cup with water and blend in a blender. I put this liquid through a filter and spray it on my plants. This is like a inoculation shot for the plants. The natural enzymes and bacteria of the plant multiply and fight off the invasion.
My question to JohnÂs comment;
Are you saying the drugs encourage disease...surely control by small cell plus control by medication would work together? You seem to imply that because Juan has treated small cell colonies they are infected?
When you apply chemicals to the hive, are you not killing good along with bad? DoesnÂt this reverse the bees ability to fight every time you dump on them no matter what the cell size is?
Thank you for your interest
Forrest Zielke
Hiya Forrest,
What sort of cat do you sail? I believe we need a lot less chemicals in our lives, the problem is I love the gadgets...PC's being a case in point! They wouldn't be here without those chemical giants. I guess it's up to those of whose who can smell the rot to be the voice of conscience to the public.
I will share your pest control system with a few organic growers here...if it works on slugs you will be mightily blessed!
Proving the chemicals will encourage the very agents they're designed to inhibit would be fantastic. On the Irish Bee List (I'm sure the address is on the Digital Dialogue page) today Dee Lusby made a very similar claim when she said "and scientists know or at least the scientists working agriculture crops, that chemicals make mites breed like
I am what the Brits call 'gobsmacked' stunned, shaken, shocked and aghast at this statement, which you seem to be repeating too. If you can prove it I will not be the only person on this planet to have my vague, visceral instinctive suspicions about our modern alchemists vindicated.
If you can't prove it the established purveyors of our ages magiks will jump all over us and scream we are ranting religious mumbo jumbo...
I can only say that I believe you and support what you say. I will certainly pulverise a few bugs next season...but if you can then give me some proof. I'm only 37 and haven't those years of personal experience to call on.
Good to see a new face. Hope you understand I'm on your side, but question every **** thing....dunno why.
Keep planting.
John (Reading, England)
To Barry and John
Methink Some clarification is in good order.
First of the bat : I am by nature a scrooge and hate like hell to spend good retirement money on stuff like medicines. Whether on mine self or other critters.I have the suspicion that I am part Scottish.
I was not aware of any cell reduction method until this year. Dan Harvey mentioned it to me. The mite medication applied in the past was Apistan because that was the only approved chemical. The other stuff ( Coumaphose) came around for the first time in the fall of 1999.I used it then and found out that I did have varroa en masse , much to my surprise. I never saw a drop like that
with an Apistan application. I have talked about the details many a times at these forums.Not specifically at this site. At one time it was recommended to apply prophylactically the antibiotic ( AFB), which in the meantime is frowned upon and I stopped that about 3 years ago. ( Please do not quote me about the timing, it could be plus minus one year.The application of menthol in conjunction with oil and papertowels was stopped also last year because of the application of the FGMO this year.
This spring, because of the result of last fall ( 99) I did not apply medication. However what I did was the application of the fogging method by Pedro with FGMO.
During all this time ( Season 2000 )I SAW ONE varroa on a bee at the entry. Within the hive Never on bees and VERY few , i.e. less than 10 in drone cell larva. Formic acid was not applied since I did not have the acid. But I will use it as a test method with the Nassenheider evaporator.
Since the percentage test methods ( Powdered sugar and alcohol screening)are somewhat doubious to me , I wanted proof. And the only way in our circumstance is the application of miticide strips to SEE what goes on.
Well , the result at this time is very promising since the drop off corresponds to around zero to 18 % MAXIMUM in one colony and 12.5 % in another out of 15.( one each of 4,5,6,7.5 %)There appears to be a correlation between the alcohol percentage test and he actual mite infestation. I think , I mentioned it in another post that the highest drop off on the FIRST day of application was an estimated 8000. Within two weeks it diminished to less than 10.I like to emphasise that the goal is : No treatment.I have stated before that without any effort on my own the cellsize reduced itself to 4.9 and less in a very uniform manner as far as workercells are concernd .( The measurement method is to my mind still somewhat into the air and requires further discussion or clarification.I lost my qu m/m measure and did not get around to measure again)
Now whether or not the fogging application or the reduced cell size is the cause of mite reduction I do not know, since it will take another couple of years to be positive about that.
I have at this time no quarrel with the application of Mineral oil since I found No evidence that it affected the bees , the brood or the honey taste.As far as I am concerned is mineral oil not in the category of Chemicals such as fluvalinate or coumaphose. Neither is formic acid. Of course the last word on that is not spoken since the scientific gurus finally got around to investigate this method. Before I forget: Barry posted some wonderful photos and I must congratulate him on his effort.
Looking real good. The combs look like mine in the tbhes ,except that , because of my lack of management the drone brood became almost the majority of cells.
My hives, with the exception of pollination spots, are close together in my yard. Colonies which had less than 5% by the alcohol test are not medicated. 5 out of 15 .Also , those colonies had NO normal mite drop off during the season. The others had drop offs at the most between 5 and ten on rare occasions during random checks. Daily drop off over 30 is said to be of concern. (????)I mentioned it also in another post that a bee can support two mites as steady sucking companions. ( Scientific guru hearsay)And you can figure it out that you end up with an ungodly amount of mites as percentage in the colonies.IF that IS the case , than we are well on our way to breath a little easier.
I have 5 colonies which will not be treated with C or A in the coming season.Hopefully the colonies will survive till spring.
Any more questions ? I am ready to do my best to answer.
Happy beeing
...I used it then and found out that I did have varroa en masse , much to my surprise...
I think I'm correct in saying Dee thinks these mites have always been around. Only now our bees are dying from them. I think we need to accept that the mite will be in our hives, and work to some form of co-existence..as opposed to eradication.
...The measurement method is to my mind still somewhat into the air and requires further discussion or clarification...
Yeah, I think there is way too much variation between combs, and individual cells to reliably measure, of course if you want statistics to interpret you can have lots. The tendency to downsize is the thing for me. The commonsense notions of stronger, more natural bees work for me.
...Now whether or not the fogging application or the reduced cell size is the cause of mite reduction I do not know, since it will take another couple of years to be positive about that... Haha! We're gonna have some fun next year Hey?
...those colonies had NO normal mite drop off during the season. The others had drop offs at the most between 5 and ten on rare occasions during random checks. Daily drop off over 30 is said to be of concern. (????)I mentioned it also in another post that a bee can support two mites as steady sucking companions. ... This stuff fascinates me, 'cos if they don't drop off they aren't there. And if they aren't there then why not? What if 100 robbers drop 30 mites that are chewed up and spat out by healthy bees? I look forward to your thoughts and further experiments next year. You'll get to hear about mine too. I'm going to stick to cellsize, food and breeding.
[This message has been edited by Dee A. Lusby (edited 11-16-2000).]
One cannot deny the importance of bees which revert back to what they were at one time, since IF there were mites at those times , a tolerance was indeed established.
What I understand as "Normal drop off": ( I am not the inventor of this terminology)
It has nothing to do with robbers coming in and the "hygenic" colony bees cleaning the robbers. There is this observed detail of mites falling off the bees by one reason or another only to climb back up to seek the missing host.It seems understandable then , the more mites in the colony the higher the "Drop Off". And THAT is the criteria of judgement to treat or not to treat. ( Assuming that one uses the chemical contraptions). If some else has a better idea of checking other than having a labtest done ( $12 a test multiplied by number of hives) then I would like to know about it. A test which anyone can do in the yard and is reliable .It is also understood that an individual has the freedom of judgement to go about what it sees fit to do as far as mite reduction methods go. I am at this time not ready to go go "Cold Turkey" and see what happens after substantial financial expenditures seeing my colonies croak.
Now, as The cellsize is already established at 4.9 m/m in all my colonies , the question of it is already past history.
Nevertheless the mites are still there. The problem : How many ? And what is the number which is supported by the colony ??
How do you measure ??? This is the reason why I used ( One season at this time and therefore inconclusive) Check mite and or Apistan to determine how many are killed within a period of time. By the way , they are NOT all dead but somehow impaired to hold on and then drop off.
To answer another question posed by one of the members is the life of a mite dependent on food and will perish without it after 5 days. I made tests and observed a time span of 10 min to 3 days in a confined enclosure.Exposed to daylight and sun hastens the process.However, according to information I finally spotted, do mites have a livespan of 5 months within the hive.This explains the rise in mite population after the bee brood cycle begins.
Shortly back to one of the testing detail. I mentioned to forget about the sugar test.The ether test was done a couple years ago and had zero results.
With he alcohol test : The percentage varied greatly ,depending from What location in the hive the sample was taken, From the bottom of the frame , the middle and under the inner cover where most bees were located for easy picking.The amount in each case being equal ( 90 to 130 bees) . The maximum count was in all cases from the inner cover.
In another post I mentioned something to the effect of the problem of chemical warfare as it relates to being stuck with it for now. Of course one can revert back to nature over time , but it does not help the pollinating industry now. We all want to eat yesterday , the pollinator has neither the time nor resources to take his chances on present new methods. It all takes time for adjustment .I find it of great importance that smaller beekeepers find the answers and deserve the input of the research community to help in this quest and the input of these beekeepers, irregardless whether somebody likes it or not. We are indeed in constant new territory and nobody knows it all.
To sum up for now: There was no loss of colonies in my yard due to Varroa.
Losses were encountered by Tracheal mites twice. Nosema .Robbing. AFB partially but recouperated. Absconding due to unknown reasons. And finally swarming and lost queens or Virgins.
Happy beeing
Yes John
Here is another little added thing .
Yes I am convinced that mites have been around as Dee said, otherwise they would not be there.They most likely came from places where the bees already had developed resistance or mutual respect. Somewhere I read something about 1904 when they were first detected in western Europe.
Shortly back to the testing. Commercial breeders, pollinators and honey producers NEED to know what gives to prevent losses, irrespective what menthods of control are used.Any large scale producer is keen to treat with minimum expense or non treatment at all.Question : Do you really believe that beekeeping operations of 10 000 colonies, more or less,can afford to medicate with Check Mite or Apistan ??? When donkeys will fly !!Should you travel this year to the Apimondia, ask those guys .
Let me know what you think !

Well, Juandefuca, you should be measuring 10 cells in 49mm including the cell walls, measuring parallel wall to parallel wall on the measuring line.

Now word of caution here. Most beekeepers think of live hives with bees is a good environment and a dead hive without bees is a bad environment and mites will therefore not live. Then then absorbe the dead equipment on other colonies when working through an apiary which only spreads live mites.
How you say, because mites still have food available upon which to feed. They have pollen in pollen cells and dead brood although decaying still containing much nourishment. This can keep mites alive for several weeks. So word of caution be careful.

Well John, let's see you spread the word to the four corners for here is one of many I've read, with a few excerpts taken from it.
Please reference to others the:
Journal of Economic Entomology, volume 84, Number 4, August 1991, published by the Entomological Society of America, paper titled:Effect of Fenvalerate on Control of European Red Mite (Acari: Tetranychidae) on Peaches with Acaricides, by Fred C. Swift
Abstract: The effect of fenvalerate on acaricidal control of European red mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch), on peaches was evaluated. On control trees, two applications of fenvalerate resulted in a 3.3-fold increase in number of mite-days.In addition, the effectiveness of four of six acaricide treatments was reduced by treatment with fenvalerate, beginning =50 d after treatment for cyhexatin and 88 d after treatment for clofentezine and hexythiazox.Because of late-season increase of mites in the acaricide plots treated with fenvalerate, counts of overwintering eggs increased by a factor of 6-31 times relative to comparable acaride treatments not oversprayed with fenvalerate.
Under Results and Discussion it was noted:
European red mite population densities in the conotrols were increased significantly by two applications of fenvalerate.
Significant differences in mite densities were observed between acaricide treatments that received fenvalerate compared with those that had not.
All plots treated with acaricide had higher egg counts as a result of the fenvalerate treatment. Overwintering egg counts were highest in the treatments with the densest populations of European red mite in September. The increase ranged from 6.2-fold to 31-fold.
Penman & Chapman (1988) reviewed the various ways that pyrethroids induce mite outbreaks.
I suggest all beekeepers read papers like this so they are aware that pyrethroids are well known in scientific agricultural circles on field crops to induce mite outbreaks and increases in their population.
Why this fact is not readily made aware to beekeepers is puzzling to me. Certainly, if they knew, they might be hesitant to use such chemicals in their colonies for its enhancing properities can only make the mite situation worse in the long run.
Comments welcomed.........

Hi John and Dee
John,in answer to your Question. I just sailed a 381 Catana from Florida, Bahamas to Road Island. 1500 miles. The storms are very organic. They will also momentarily turn you into a religious fanatic.
I do not mind hard questions. Very healthy. The subject of slugs. I think we will have to wait for the big fire ball to hit. The only thing left will be slugs and roaches. At that point the slugs will eat the roaches. We could call that a slugfest.
Thanks to Dee there is a lot of information about chemicals increasing bad bugs. My question is , WHY? Most organic people will say chemicals kill the good along with the bad. And in the world of good and evil, if you give evil an inch, it will take a foot. Dee is also correct in her desire for bee keepers to read research papers in the organic world. A good place to start is a few organic garden magazines.
A few questions. Has anyone placed mites in the frig to see how long they live? Better still, place live bees with mites in the frig. Will the mites live or drop off? At what temperature? In the winter, has anyone checked a brood nest to see if there are mites on the outside bees or are they on bees at the center of the ball where the temperature is higher?
I thank Juan stated, he noticed an increase in mites during the increase of brood rearing. Is this because of the increase in outside temperature and also the increased metabolism of the bees, causing a heat and moisture build up in the hive? Is the hive ventilation in question? If we were able to keep the hive cooler, will that help.
To be independent of chemicals is not going to be just one change you make. I applaud what you are doing with cell size. I think this is a major step in helping the bees help themselves.
I hope I donÂt sound stupid.
Hi Juan...
What I am trying to ask in my wee small voice is if 1000 good bees keep their infestation under control by spitting out mites, and 1000 badbees don't get rid of their mites are we going to treat and mess with the wrong colony? And then think we should have treated them both after the one which looked healthier had less drop? I have glanced at an observation hive once. Debris from the upper story falling down landed on many bees before hitting the floor. Mites that are drugged may fall all through adjacent combs with strips in...but natural drop? I can see that the more mites there are the more will drop. But bees are not incapable of removing those bugs...and we should beware treating on account of a large drop.
For me it's a big thing if your bees have some varroa and are alive and cropping. Those are the babies I'm after.
What does the lab do for $12 ?

I was curious to how many of you Commercial migratory beeks requeen all hives every year and when do you do it?
If you do what percentage of your queens/colonies fail by fall?
If you don't requeen everything yearly and just use new queens for replacing deadouts and failed queens what percentage of your queens/colonies fail by fall?
Finally, What do you consider acceptable percentage loss from November-March and also for April-October?
Thanks for your input.

A dance specific to Eastern European males, can be seen in nightclubs around the world. Involves bouncing, usually the right leg in time to the beat of the music playing, also nodding the head in time with this. If the dancer is really feeling the beat they can bounce both arms up in the air with both forefingers pointing up, if the beat is AMAZING they can pump just one arm in the air, repeatedly.... while performing the leg and head moves.

While volunteering and working with autistic children, Lisa Fraser noticed one of the key therapeutic devices of the day was, in her eyes, really ugly. The weighted vests was like slapping a label on kids and saying "Hey, look at me! I'm different." She believed that bringing a better design and even some style into these kids' lives, was an endeavour worth pursuing.

text: DO NOT DEAL WITH CARTER GM <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">BURNABY</st1:City></st1lace> - TERRIBLE SERVICE !!!! Also WARNING about GM CANADA LTD. and their lack of customer care. <o></o> Brought my still brand new 2011 Silverado for first service/oil change (just over 6000km). That was at the end of September 2011. Right after the service the truck developed oil leak. Brought it back for repairs 5 TIMES and is still leaking oil!!! CARTER'S mechanics took it apart (i.e. dropping transmission etc) 3 different times and truck is still leaking oil. First incompetent mechanic was replaced with another one that ended up braking parts along the way, not putting things back properly. Their service manager RAY NORRIS admitted the mechanic was not using proper tools to put things back together etc. <o></o> After having appointment for the 5th time, CARTER GM BURNABY kept the truck for over a week, during which, after our numerous phone calls we could not get any straight answer as to what was going on with our vehicle, when it would be ready. Frustrated we contacted GM CUSTOMER CARE with complaints. DARRYL MOORE (1-800-263-3777 extn. #2384) was initially very sympathetic and promised to have the issue resolved and call us back. A week passed, no call. Upon contacting Mr. MOORE - we were told that CARTER GM BURNABY "detailed our truck toped up our fuel, gave us free rental car so we should be happy and we can always take our business elsewhere". By the way we DID NOT ask to have the truck detailed WE ASKED TO HAVE IT FIXED. Btw the tank was almost full when we brought it in and they topped up the fuel after taking it for test drive twice, each time for an hour. The rental car was only given to us on our 5TH VISIT! Oh did I mention that we live 22km away from CARTER and each time had to take transit home or back to dealer? <o></o> EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED, we faxed GM CUSTOMER CARE 6 PAGE COMPLAINT LETTER detailing the events (which we did not describe here….. oh yes there were more) and we asked to have the matter escalated to their managerial level. We emphasized that we need to have the issue resolved and truck fixed as it's been over 2.5 months and the truck is still not repaired and now sitting as we are afraid to use it due to the oil leak. We were assured by GM that the assigned manager will review the case and contact us within 2 business days. That was on Dec 8th. By DEC 12 we still did not hear from GM and when we called them we were told that there is a note on their system that the manager named <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">CRYSTAL</st1:City></st1lace> (1-800-263-3777 extn. 2821) called us. This is actually the second time this occurred (previously with Mr. DARRYL MOORE) that we were told that someone from GM called us even though we received no calls and no voice mails were left. By the way we have caller ID, voice mail box that is always empty and pretty much are being glued to the phone 24 hrs a day. So from then on it was again cat and mouse game as the GM people would never answer their phones so each time we had to leave a message. Finally we got a call from <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">CRYSTAL</st1lace></st1:City> (extn 2821) only to be told that she has not even read our complaint and she has yet to review the whole case. She promised to call back the next day but.... you guessed it. No call. Finally on the second day <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">CRYSTAL</st1:City></st1lace> called and yep ...... you guessed it again we got the "dealer washed your car, topped up fuel etc..." speech. Pretty much go and get lost you unhappy and unreasonable customer. Upon requesting <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">CRYSTAL</st1lace></st1:City>'S last name so we could have it for our records when we proceed to even higher level, she would not give it to us, instead she just hanged up the phone on us. <o></o> By the way no one at GM CUSTOMER DO-NOT-CARE will give you their last name, their e-mail address so you can write to them and provide pictures etc. No one would give you the name of regional service manager (which now I suppose would probably not be of big help either). What are they AFRAID OF? Oh and when you contact them via GM WEB CHAT they'll be quick to ask you to talk to you over the phone instead so that there is no written record of your complaint. <o></o> We love our truck but what is it good to us if we can't use it??? And had we known about the horrible service and lack of customer support we would have never bought <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">CHEVROLET GM it in first place</st1:address></st1:Street>. Oh did I mention we had it specially factory ordered, waited 12 weeks for delivery and we paid a lot of money for it? <o></o> We will discourage anyone we know (one of our friends already changed his mind about purchasing Chevy truck) that wants to buy GM product, Chevrolet etc. and we'll definitely try to prevent anyone from THE DISSERVICE OF CARTER GM BURNABY located at 4550 Lougheed Hwy, Burnaby, BC V5C 3Z5. <o></o> Oh you know what's funny? Previously after we took the truck for repairs and were told they fixed it (even though it wasn't) each time we were e-mailed GM CANADA LTD. customer satisfaction questionnaire, which we never filled out. Now that we complained, guess what??? - No questionnaire was sent to us. Hmmmmm must be just a coincidence. <o></o> One would think that in this tough economic times not only the product quality but especially customer service would be an important part of doing business. I guess not so much. Well rest assured that when both are lacking no amount of factory/dealer discounts and credits will persuade the customer if he/she knows what a terrible headache they'll have to endure afterwards.

Melinda Gates:
What nonprofits can learn from Coca-Cola
Melinda Gates makes a provocative case: What can nonprofits learn from mega-corporations like Coca-Cola, whose global network of marketers and distributors ensures that every remote village wants — and can get — an ice-cold Coke? Maybe this model could work for distributing health care, vaccinations, sanitation, even condoms ...

text: Interesting thing yesterday. I got home and was sitting on my porch and noticed a HUGE swarm across the street in the woods high up in a pine tree. It was late and looking like rain so I am sure they stayed the night. I did a quick check my one bee hive and everything was normal and all accounted for. I suspect this is a wild swarm that just gave up the fight with beetles and no honey. I am worried today they may make a bee line for mine and try and take over. Hate I am at work. I reduced the entrance to help. I also put out a bait hive with bee lure in their path to mine last night. I have just never seen such a large swarm this late in the year. We will see what happens. Crazy year for bees here.

I can only imagine someone who gets depressed over "Lost" is the kind of person that hasn't watched alot of good shows, cause Lost really phoned it in the last couple of seasons. Seriously, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Sons of Anarchy...really, any pick show that doesn't solely rely on one singular over-arching plot point to keep you interested in the series.
I enjoy MLP because it's what I like, no matter how colorful and cheery it is. And you don't have to like it, that's fine. It's not everyones cup of tea.
That doesent mean you do not have a life. why shouldnt you be sad if you lose something you find entertaining?
I'm sure there are things you get sad about what others would laugh about normally.
Its more of a erm, its a shame its finished, now what to do / watch feeling, than empty,
you know, like when youve had family around for a week and everything heptic, bust and everyones doing something, then they go home and your like erm what now
I get it each time I polish a star trek saga off, or doctor who ends for the year
PS. By the way, Im in NO WAY saying "MLP IS BEST SHOW EVER", just saying its a show I like. It has its flaws.
We should probably stop derailing the thread xD
One more thing I want to say.
I can't fully explain why I like the show, I just do. Honestly, when I first heard about a bunch of people watching this I thought to myself, "What the hell? Are they serious?" But for whatever reason, I decided fuck it, I'll give the show a chance. And I just like it.
It's about an amazing community. Bronies (and pegasisters) are a shining example of a community/cult, with inside jokes and all. Bronies makes so many beautiful pictures, write fanfics, make comics, all that stuff. We do charity, we hold lots of conventions, the VA and workers on the show are celebrated, and they embrace us...
Basically, amazing community. Of course that doesn't mean the show is bad and just an excuse to do it, the show is very well made, awesome voice actors, awesome writing, awesome characters, funny, catchy Disney-kind-of songs...

Yaaay, I just found myself a new tv show
Vampire diaries. That will keep me going for some time.
aaaawww dammmn...I miss Sawyer, Locke, Jack, Sayid, Kate and Juliet so much.
I guess I'll see you in another life brothas
I kept hearing that it was good, but I don't really watch television... So I tried watching an episode and had to turn it off within 5 minutes. How do people watch the garbage on tv these days? The fact it's so unwatchably bad is what's driven me to play video games instead, which is why I'm here on mmoc babbling in the first place.
What the world needs is Lesshammad.
I've felt empty several times after tv shows end, wether it was on their own terms or due to cancellation. I always feel empty after watching Avatar. I remember completing the campaign of Modern Warfare 3. Never have I felt such a connection to characters in a game before. Then, when the final mission was completed and the music of the end credits started to play, I felt really empty inside.
You just get attached to something; the characters, the world they live in, something that you never want to go away. When it does, it feels like you lost something that you will never get back. Watching it or completing the game again doesn't really help, because you wanna see how the story continues or what happens next for the characters. You're never getting that, so that's the empty feeling; realising you'll never have what you want.
I've recently started watching Lost, and I can already see how this is going to leave an empty feeling inside when I'm done watching the series finale.

Statix will suffice.
I feel like that when I watch movies that have depressin or bad endings. Can't say that LOST's ending was bad though. It's going to pass in a day or so.
Lost never ended, the part you play is simply over..........
I remember how Buffy ended. God I loved that series, and it ended with such a climax it was perfect, the kind of ending that left it open to anyones imagination how it goes on, but also in such a way that 'there is no turning back now, we can only go forward'.
It did feel sad seeing the final episode, since how attached I was to the series, but if a show ends in a good way, it means it left an impression on you in the best possible way.
I felt the same way when Battlestar Galactica and Stargate sg1 ended. It's just hard to let go.

Suzie, I like you idea and will give it a try. My original idea was to feature the fabric which was from a skirt I found at a thrift shop (some of my favorite fabric stores), but I think It needs to be dressed up someway. Thanks for the suggestion.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Suzie, I like you idea and will give it a try. My original idea was to feature the fabric which was from a skirt I found at a thrift shop (some of my favorite fabric stores), but I think It needs to be dressed up someway. Thanks for the suggestion.
@ post #818, Tracy: Very nice flowers. This is my first adventure to this art quilt thread. There is a lot to look at here and I am enjoying it.
What techniques are you using to do these? They are wonderful.
no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop
Is there a September challenge?? I think I would like to join in.
I got fabric.... Now I need time .
Welcome ube and Kohoeta! September challenge will be mounted on the first of the month.
But meantime there are still a good 10 days to do a small 12x12 piece for the August challenge! C'mon you can try a quick technique or two to describe cold. (Run a search up in the top box for August challenge where it is described in full.) Remember these aren't supposed to be the masterpieces you see in the shows. This is a personal challenge to try something new, see what you get, discuss results and ask for input besides the usual 'that's lovely'
Today I get to spend part of the morning on my WIP. I am doing a photo transfer of a cemetery angel. (What's colder than death after all) But I want to cut her up in about 6 pieces and then reassemble. Technically I can't figure out how to do this well as I want to keep the clear lines of the detailed photo. So today is an experimental session. Probably entailing a lot of heat and bond.
How are the rest of you doing out there? Let's see some WIP or some 'dones'.
Author; I Don't Know Where I Want to Be -But it Isn't Here!
I want to get into working in a more creative fashion and this will be a perfect place to start. I don't know about August but by Sept. I will be here. Thanks so much for starting this Art Sharing.
no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop

Dotty in NYC
I need to get home first. Having too good a time in dallas with family and friends, especially olivia ! Haven't even had a chance to track down board friends. Miss home and pets and dh, but hate to leave!
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
Hi all,
Here is my experiment for this month.
This was a photo of a cemetery angel. After all what is colder than death?!
I wanted to use this photo for a later larger piece.
But first I needed to experiment with how I could cut it up and still have a recognizable photo. I wanted to get more color into it as well.
I need to match everything up after the cuts and color insertion or I no longer had a photo. So there were technical issues. Eventually I used glue and strips and sewed either side, which worked OK. But I am not happy with the way the color shows through and I am going to use a different technique when I do the next piece.
Then I also wanted to decide on quilting amounts and design for the photos...what should be made more textural and what should be left alone?
This little test answered many of those issues and there are certainly things I want to do differently on the bigger piece. Practice does after all make us better at all this and opens up new ways of creating. And some of them are awful and don't work well at all. But take a risk and try something. I learned a lot and will use that for the major piece-- which is next on the list and should be much more effective now.
Now what are you all up to???? The clock is ticking here!!!!!

I can't believe another school year has come and gone. Although my children are grown, I still share in the excitement of younger families at this time, as they celebrate their young ones being promoted to the next grade and plan summer vacations and activities.
And graduations! I still tear up when I hear "Pomp and Circimstance," remembering my daughter walking onto the Monte Vista football field, her long hair blowing in the warm June breeze, along with her tassel and her gown.
This is such a special time. Anyone want to share their memories?

Clean air is a basic right just like clean water. But contrary to water, we don't always have the opportunity to choose the air quality we take in. Our mission is to inform the public on
ways to clean air
and the benefits of clean air.We want to discuss the impact of the air quality and the emission limitations as defined in the "Clean Air Act" and how we can purify the air in our homes using plants ,
clean air purifiers
and systems.
Medical investigations link the increase in long diseases like asthma to the air pollution. Although the government has taken some measures by creating air quality criteria and control techniques , we are far from creating a save and healthy environment for our children. So let's us start improving the air quality in our own environment and home. Before we can do so, we need to understand which are the hazardous air pollutants and ways to eliminate them and create a clean air environment.

Awesomenism is a philosophy defined by complete awesomeness. Many try to achieve awesomenism but Paul keeps on raising the bar, and so complete zen isn't able to be achieved.
Oh my god! I won the olympics, the nobel peace prize, and a free mountain dew! This is awesomenism! Oh wait, Paul outdid me. I must restart my quest.

Smart Girl!! I eat Pizza for breakfast, also Chili, and would eat Ribs if there were any left over in Refrigerator! LOL
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Smart Girl!! I eat Pizza for breakfast, also Chili, and would eat Ribs if there were any left over in Refrigerator! LOL
I only had/have small dogs and they can't reach anything. They aren't strong enough to open anything. My bigger dog was an outside dog.
I do have a six year old cat that can open base cabinet doors in my sewing room and drag stuff out. He is just a pain, no food in there.
Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
Your dog has good taste! Nothing better than smoked baby backs for any meal of the day. I am putting baby backs on my shopping list, its been awhile since I smoked some.
She must love those "baby back ribs"!
Beautiful dog!!
Quilting is my vice
Live well, laugh often, love much
I once had a dog who ate a pound of butter off the table when we were gone. Yuk.

Well, the consequences of eating the ribs have come to fruition!!! BG is experiencing some gastrointestinal issues that are none to pleasant! Of course, it would have been better if she could have made it outside first !!! Deep breath and repeat after me: I love BG, I Love BG, I Love BG!!!!

I used to have a golden and an irish setter, well, everything from a dozen eggs (not even a piece of shell left) to cantaulope would disappear without a trace other than maybe a wrapper or container! lol The setter was the instigator but the golden always joined in. Now I have a shih tzu and still find myself looking around to make sure nothing is left out that is edible, even though I know he can't reach it, old habits!!

Thanks. Right after I cut the dividers I remembered I needed to make my channel deeper and cut them tight enough to close that gap. You can see in my post above how I fixed that Oops.
I will have to figure out how to cover up those groves on the interior, that is a good point. I have a whole unit of beautiful Cedar decking I plan to use. This is just how it came-with the groves to prevent warping. I generally make my woodenware out of stuff I get from my friend at the cedar mill. Frequently he will give me or sell me shorts which work great for hives. My patterns usually are made from the least waste of this wood. Maybe fill them with dry pollen substitute in the fall.

Meet Matt Hebermehl: visual vortexes
SCAD alumni Matt Hebermehl, right, and SeeSaw cofounder James Zdaniewski.
Matt Hebermehl creates visual vortexes. His work shape-shifts to fit the space and the occasion, from the crumpled confines of a sheet of thermal paper to the broad expanse of a wall. A 2003 B.F.A. illustration SCAD alumnus, Hebermehl's creations are always compelling and often collaborative. In Savannah, Hebermehl's art has worked its transformative magic on public places in the city and in the private learning environment of his alma mater.
On occasion, he is a policymaker with a paintbrush. If you were to deconstruct one of his murals, striping one vibrant layer of paint off another, you might find the outlines of a projection – the telltale mark of collaboration between Hebermehl and SCAD 2003 computer art alumnus James Zdaniewski. This collaboration goes back to a projection the two cast on the western façade of SCAD's Jen Library on the opening night of the 2009 Savannah Film Festival.
In 2011, Hebermehl and Zdaniewski cofounded SeeSAW, an arts organization that mobilizes artists, businesses, officials, and residents in advancing contemporary public art. That year, SeeSAW collaborated with Savannah's Metropolitan Planning Commission to develop an ordinance that regulates the application process for the creation of public art on private property. In 2013, the Savannah City Council adopted that policy.
At SCAD, Hebermehl's murals give external representation to the vibrant educational experience within the walls he enlivens. This fall, Hebermehl and fellow SCAD alumna Katherine Sandoz painted a mural to commemorate the life and legacy of their former SCAD illustration professor, Traci Haymans. Of Haymans, Hebermehl said, "As you think of her and remember her, you hope to carry on that smile and joy of life..." Located on the third floor of Haymans' namesake hall – the new home of SCAD illustration – this 7-foot-by-20-foot portrait succeeds in sharing Haymans' warm smile, soulful eyes, and exuberant spirit with a new generation of SCAD illustrators.
Hebermehl is now at work – using the permit made possible through his SeeSAW advocacy – on an external SCAD mural, which graces 1,800 square feet of Montgomery Hall, home to the university's interactive design and game development, animation, visual effects, and motion media departments.
A visual bard who blends history with prophecy, Hebermehl states that, "…the content of the mural is not a literal representation of the building and the neighborhood, but represents the past industrial and commercial energy of the site along with the current creative and youthful energy of the environment surrounding the building as it exists now."
The final design, according to Hebermehl, will be "visually striking," and contain an "upward explosion of energy." And if his previous work is any indication, this mural will be yet another dynamic display that celebrates the community it invites into the conversation.

[quote user="Kase-1"][quote user="LT= Lawrence Taylor"][quote user="Kase-1"]UGH, I just realized that the only sport we have 2 look foward 2 this spring is baseball......... and dare I say, soccer?!?!?!?! LOL
Oh man this is an AWFUL time for sports.....
Yeaaaaaaaaaah.... but when the Yanks are winning, baseball ain't all that bad
[/quote]I love it that my Yanks are winning but its rough when all there is to look foward 2 is baseball....For me its Football and Hockey #1 &2, but after that there's a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE gap for #3&4
So this is a REALLY rough time for me in terms of sports....... Well at least the Yanks are doing good, i dunno what id do if they were tanking
Didn't they just get swept by the Redsox? They are a dropped pop up away from losing 5 out of 6.

Yeah.... and despite losing all 8 to Boston (puke in mouth), we are still only 2 games out in June, so that's not all that impressive your little team.
Boston is a mediocre team against the rest of the league, the Yankees are a good team against the rest of the league
Well its a good thing for us that those 8 straight win against the Yankees count.

Today's girl's clothing is fashion-forward, reflective of what the day's pop music and movie stars pose in for photos, and following what all the fashion magazines recommend. Exactly reflecting what you were wearing when you were a young lady! No matter what the girl's size, Bealls offers a variety of clothing options to choose from – shirts, sweaters, shorts, pants, skirts and dresses – in any number of styles, colors and fabrics.
Insist on fit. As with adult women, fit is what matters most with girls' and young women's clothing. Anything too tight or too baggy will not be as flattering as a garment that fits just so. As girls grow and mature at different times, it can be challenging to keep up with measuring and adjusting clothing. However, it will be well worth the work.
Understand your girl. Some may prefer skirts, dresses and blouses in shades of pink, purple and pastels. Others may like jeans, capris, shorts, athletic gear, t-shirts and hoodies. And other girls may mix it up with a combination of styles, brands, colors and textures.
When shopping for girls' clothing, keep the following tips in mind:

Hide lines
Not quite like hiking in Nepal, but still with two solid days on a cargo boat with almost no activities, the meals were almost guaranteed to be the highlights of the day
Other thing about being in a boar is there are no TV broadcast towers on buoyees in the middle of the sea, so we only got to catch the first half before the reception fuzzied out to nada, and Scary came around to play some cards. To our credit, we did not let him win on purpose. Not every time, anyhow. He did further bank on his scariness to make us Turkish dance to techno in the Discobar later that night. Humpy, after chatting up Ol' McGee all night, went predictably MIA. He came back in the morning with an even lecherous-er face on and slept all the next day.
My next day was not spent on pedestrian pursuits such as sleep, not when there was travelogue to write! I sunned, hung out, and covered Nepal through Moscow, all in a day's work. All work and no play make Jack a dull piece of cargo though, so that night the only Americans on board (us), Scary, and the Tablettes celebrated Aksana's bday in style, and by style I do mean their tiny cabin. We counted stars and were introduced to the Tutemas song three times, a very slow and sultry song that we thought was a love song but actually translates to something like "there's no one to hold me" and was the catalyst to a rush of love-struck teen suicides a few years back until the government had to step in, banning that song and presumably by widely releasing the infinitely more catchy and in a way less depressing "Who Let the Dogs Out". Ryan had a beard-and life-related epiphany before it was late to bed, late to rise, making these men healthy, wealthy, and in Turkey.
Moral of the Story: I'd love to see Scary and the guy from Red Dragon in a bite-through-steel-plate contest. And then Humpy vs Wilt, but not in basketball.

Charlize Theron must be a really horny thing, because not only have we got dirty pics of her hardcore fuck sessions, but now we've even got evidence of her nasty masturbation episodes! This statuesque blonde honey is really horny for something big and hard stuffed in her pussy and so when she doesn't have the services of a live guy, she decides to take things into her own hands. Literally. And so we have photos of Charlize Theron feeling so hot that she has to pull out her magnificent fucktoys just to stuff them deep in her gash.
Her first dildo in these pictures is a glass dildo realistically shaped that she masturbates with enthusiastically, completely naked and down on the floor. You can see that she's really happy in this pic, and you can bet that she's always got a smile on her face as long as there's something long and hard in her cunny! Or maybe even in her ass, because the next pic is even hotter, with this blonde South African reaming both her pussy and her ass with two dildos! Double penetration with the use of sextoys is so hardcore and I wouldn't expect less from this dirty slut.
So, you still think that being an award-winning actress doesn't mean that you've the same urges as any other girl out there? Think again, because on this dirty Charlize Theron website, you can see our girl getting filthy with almost anything and anyone!

Phoenix Rush and Chevrolet hosted a One World Futbol ball drop for more than 215 local Hispanic and under privileged youth soccer players at Phoenix College on Sunday, March 30. Deserving youth soccer players from Lowell and Herrera Elementary Schools, which reside within the urban core of Phoenix, benefited from the free soccer clinic and donation.
"Phoenix Rush was so excited to be a part of such a great program," said Laila Modi, Technical Director of Phoenix Rush. "We share the same philosophy as Chevrolet, that kids around the world are afforded opportunities to play this "beautiful" game. Here, at Phoenix Rush, we believe in the spirit of sportsmanship, the electricity of competition, and the importance of pure enjoyment that soccer has to offer. We are firmly committed to ensuring that all kids here in Phoenix have the chance to experience the joy of taking the field with their friends and teammates."
The Phoenix initiative is part of Chevrolet's partnership with One World Futbol Project;Chevrolet has pledged to donate and support the distribution of 1.5 million One World Futbols over three years. Since May 2012, Chevrolet-branded One World Futbols have been distributed across five continents impacting millions of children.
"With the support of Phoenix Rush, we continue to apply our global partnership with One World Futbol Project at the local level," said Mike Weidman, Chevrolet National Promotions Manager. "By bringing these initiatives together, we can continue to empower positive experiences in communities all over the world, share the love of soccer in communities across the U.S, and transform the lives of children through the power of play."
One World Futbol Project distributes One World Futbols to disadvantaged communities, where play can be used to teach life skills and foster social change.

The pilot project was launched to promote digitalization in Denmark's maritime cluster, dubbed "Blue Denmark," and to shed light on the long-term possibilities of digitalizing the entire ship registration process.
Increasingly high rents charged to chassis providers by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey could hurt the port's overall competitiveness, says Dennis Daggett, executive vice president of the International Longshoremen's Association.
The maritime information provider and creator of the famed Baltic Dry Index will work closely with shipbrokers and end-users to create new freight rate benchmarks and indices to be launched later this year, according to Baltic Exchange CEO Mark Jackson.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Benoit de la Tour, president of terminal operating systems provider Navis, which is extending its reach beyond the terminal, stressed the need to simplify supply chain complexity, noting how the industry is behind in digitalization.
Sinotrans & CSC, parent company of the largest freight forwarder in China, has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of transportation, finance and real estate conglomerate China Merchants Group.
The Gulf of Mexico port's access channel and turning basin will be dredged, resulting in 13 million cubic meters being removed and reclaimed, which five new terminals will be built on.
