Hi all,
New to the forum have been keeping bees for the last 4 years on Langstroth Jumbo's but after loosing my last remaining colonies over the UK winter have decided to go down the Warre path.
I have ordered a NUC from Thornes that will be on national frames. My question is what is the best way to get this into the Warre.
Many thanks

Are you purchasing dog agility equipment for the first time?
Can't decide what agility equipment you want or need for your dog? No WORRIES! That is the ULTIMATE reason we are here to help. A full dog agility course is wonderful to have, but its not necessary to begin your home training. First, think of your backyard size and what it can hold. You may want to get an 8 foot Dog-walk instead of a standard 12 foot. You may consider 4 single jumps instead of 1 single and a triple jump. Our dog agility jumps are made so that you can twist off two of the bottom legs and place two or three agility jumps close together to practice that triple jump.
Second, when considering the dog agility equipment you want to purchase, consider the size and speed of your dog. We use 3/4 PVC or 1 PVC for most agility jumps or weave poles. If your dog is small and light weight, 3/4 will suffice and you can spread your budget further.
Are you adding to your dog agility obstacle course at home or club?
You can never have enough dog agility equipment or jumps. My wife has 20 agility jumps on her course, and still wants more. If space allows, setup a jump chute using 8 jumps. Leave them in place, separate from your course training, and practice a few minutes a day. You can practice straight line exercises, angled jumps, box drills, or circular drills. Or try adding a tire jump to your pinwheel excercise.
Or is it time to make your big Contact purchase? Select one Contact equipment obstacle that will fit into your space. If you live close enough to us you can come pick it up. If you dont live close enough for a pickup, we also make hardware kits, jump cups, and weave spikes to help you get started building your own dog agility equipment.
Are you introducing dog agilty equipment to your kennel or doggie day care?
We can help here also! We run a full boarding and doggie day care that uses our agility equipment for dogs to exercise and play on. We can recommend what would work best for your facility or backyard. Just email us
Is there a dog training issue that has developed for your dog?
Has your dog had a bad experience on an obstacle? Dog agility equipment such as Mini-equipment are useful tools to rebuild confidence in your dog. Mini-teeter, Mini-Dogwalk or Contact Trainer are great tools to help your dog be confident and happy again. We sell inexpensive training aids to help you build confidence in your dog. Training aids, such as,
Traveling Planks
|Weave Poles
and Guide Wires
All are great tools for retraining experienced dogs or teaching young puppies!
Who else is using our Dog Agility Equipment?
Our product line has expanded to K9 training equipment for organizations such as, USPCA, NAPWDA, and DOD. Also, our dog agility equipment is being customized and modified for Search and Rescue, Retriever Training, as well as Drug & Bomb Detection Training. Furthermore, we also sell mini contact equipment for Doggie Parks, Doggie Daycares, Campgrounds, and Kennel Playgrounds.
Oh, my! Still feeling overwhelmed? Let us guide you to our Agility Starter Kits
Obstacles are categorized into jumps, contacts, and weaves. It would be ideal if everyone could have a full training course in their backyard. Unfortunately, the ideal can't always be achieved due to lack of space or money. So, if you are just starting in agility what do you buy first? We want to offer you some ideas for a starter kit. You can purchase the actual group as shown in the picture, or choose several options for your order. Just browse through our website to give you some ideas, or just pick one of the agility starter kits. We will be more than happy to help out with the details.

text: I'm starting to get a little frustrated trying to figure out the logistics of extracting. This is 100% my doing and I have no one to blame but myself but I'm hoping some of you more inventive DIY'ers can help me out here. I'm about to order a 18/9 frame radial extractor from MannLake so I can pull all the honey off of my hives and start getting things ready for winter. I know I'm getting into the game pretty late but I just haven't had the finances for an extractor with everything else that has been coming up recently. I over looked where I was going to store all of my honey after I extracted it and now I'm trying to find somewhere to store roughly 2,000 pounds of honey. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Press - what people say about APC-200906-8828
The APC wireless project and other initiatives that were spawned by this effort shared the idea that if we can provide techies in developing countries with good information on how they can build wireless networks and overcome the infrastructural shortages that they are faced, that they could build networks with inexpensive equipment. This seemed quite possible based on our collective experience doing such projects in our home countries in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the USA and elsewhere. In 2006 while completing some research with APC, I found myself in a very remote part of Tanzania with Joseph Sekiku. I wanted to find a project that I hadn't been directly involved in, to study and contrast with my findings from earlier projects that I had worked on. When I arrived, I found that Joseph, with remote tutelage and time at an APC workshop and the Wireless Networking for the Developing World book which we authored, had been able to carry-out our prophecy – he had built his network himself and had connected a school, government office, business to his small telecentre in the middle of the jungles of Africa. This finding truly validated our work. Despite the enormous constraints, we had begun to hear of such endeavours inspired by, and tutored by people and resources made available through this initiative.
Though the story of Joseph's network is incredible, the greatest feat accomplished by APC's work in wireless was not the wireless networks built, or computers connected to the internet, but rather it was the human networks that it created. Those human networks live-on and have led to many more initiatives. This result is hard to measure and regrettably is not a measure that corresponds to traditional development objectives, or "deliverables". I am a beneficiary of this work and have the great privilege to keep in touch with Joseph, the APC team and the many others spread around the globe who I met. APC was able to bring together a group of passionate people who shared an idea and donors like OSI, IDRC, Network the World who then further funded initiatives spawned by these human networks. Work like the aforementioned book was a result of this. What was started was another approach to development that is people-network focused. This I believe has been the greatest result of this work, that has been vastly under appreciated. Keep up the great work APC!- Ian Howard, consultant and ICT expert, Canada, June 2009

Across the Border to Germany
Trip Start Sep 12, 2005
40Trip End Dec 12, 2005
After five hours and two transfers we arrived in Rotenburg around lunch time. Our friend, Ulrike or Ulli (pronounced "Ulrika" or "Ooli") was waiting for us with her four-year old daughter, Sarah ("Czar-a"). Ulrike is the girlfriend of Katrin, Martin's cousin; the two of them visited us in 1995. Katrin also lives in Rotenburg, but is away on holidays at the moment.
Germany (population 83 million) has the third largest economy in the world next to the US and Japan.
We are planning to spend about two weeks in Germany, mainly to visit Martin's cousins who mostly live in the former East Germany (DDR). Martin's grandfather on his father's side, Martin Just the first, immigrated to Canada from Prussia (now part of Poland) after the WWI. The Justs were Russians of German descent whom Catherine the Great had moved from Germany to Russia to farm.
Rotenburg (population 20,000, located between Bremen and Hamburg) is considered a small town by German standards. Both Ulli and her husband, Heiko (pronouced "High-ko"), work with mentally challenged adults, (many of whom are physically handicapped as well), Heiko working with higher level care people than Ulrike. Their house, a duplex, is designated housing for workers at the facility for the mentally handicapped. They are happy to be living in a house with their own yard instead of in the apartment where they lived for four years. It was very relaxing visiting in their yard in the sunshine, listening to the doves while Martin (of course!) teased their two cats and Sarah.
Sarah (the only grandchild on both sides of the family) is a delightful little slip of a girl, full of life, with an elfin-like face and blonde hair
Ulrike has lived in Rotenburg all her life. Heiko came to Rotenburg from the northeast (located in the former East Germany). His grandfather came from Poland and was in the Polish army. During WWI he was sent to a German POW camp, remaining there after the war. Ulrike's English is good, though she is always apologizing. (We tell her it is better than our German!) Heiko struggles with English words, but was determined to try to communicate with us as he is very curious about our way of life and Canada in general. We played a lot of charades and "guess the word" during our conversations. They travel to Ireland every year. (Ireland is one of Ulrike's favourite places - she has been there 10 times and would like to live there. Heiko prefers Finland where he worked for a couple of years.) About the only English Sarah knows is "kiss you" but she doesn't know what it means. She chattered away to us in German, oblivious that we didn't understand a word she was saying.
We asked Ulrike and Heiko their thoughts on the reunification of Germany, how Germany is faring since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. They believe that life is more difficult now, particularly for people living in the former DDR. The state no longer provides for them and they are forced to find their own jobs and fend for themselves which they have found very hard
Besides two cats, Ulli and Heiko have a rabbit that they keep in a pen in the back yard. Ulli also loves horses and used to have a horse. Sarah is enraptured by them as well. Every week they go to the riding stable where Sarah does exercises/tricks on a horse (sometimes solo, sometimes with other kids) turning around backwards, standing up, riding without any hands, etc. They learn how to interact with the animals and how to care for them as well. I have never heard of anything like that in Canada, but, not being a horse-lover, it could very well exist! Anyway, it was very interesting and Sarah was entralled by the whole thing. The trainer kept commenting that she was doing a "zoopah" (super) job.
The German diet is high in starch and carbohydrates - beer, bread, cheese and meat, particularly sausage. As a result, you see a lot of heavy Germans. (But not near as many as you see in Canada, probably because they are more physically active.) I would get very fat if I stayed here for long! "Low-fat" doesn't seem to be popular either as far as dairy products are concerned. One night Heiko barbecued about six pounds of meat (mostly sausage) for the five of us to eat! Interestingly, our guidebook states that about 20% of Germans are vegetarians. Vegetarianism would have been a challenge here twenty years ago. Of course, the bread is wonderful and Martin enjoys the coffee/cappucino which, like the Netherlands, is accompanied by a cookie, candy or chocolate. With all the wonderful "kucken" (cake), "eis" (ice cream) and "k�is" (cheese), I could develop the typical German "frau" (woman) figure very easily! (I remember when Heather, Shelly and I visited with Anni and Josef - Martin's Dad's cousin and her husband - in Munich in 1981 it seemed all we consumed was heavy bread, sausage and beer. The food hasn't changed much.)
It is much easier travelling in Europe since the introduction of the Euro in 2002. There is no need now to worry about changing money when you cross the border (like when I was here twenty-odd years ago - but it's also more expensive to travel throughout Europe today)
Communicating with the locals here is more difficult than in the Netherlands. Although English is taught as their second language, few people seem to speak it fluently (though better than most people would speak French at home!). The traditional greeting is a handshake and "hallo". When people depart, they usually say "cheers" (but sounds like "choose").
In contrast to the Dutch, German people are known for always following the rules - they never jaywalk, seldom break the speed limit, can be quite inflexible and are quite particular about etiquette (so I hope we don't inadvertently offend anyone too much!). Germans are also very punctual as a rule. I remember arriving at a youth hostel in Celle one October night 24 years ago five minutes after closing and the manager would not let us in. There was no other place to stay, so we decided to fast track it to Paris and spent the night in Hannover (open air) train station. I was glad I had a sleeping bag with me. (While we were staying with Ulli and Heiko, Heiko got a speeding ticket in the mail, which not only included a photo of his license plate, but a photo of him driving
Unlike Canada, you never seem to get out into the country - it's just one continuous town. Vehicles here are all plated according to origin. Simply by looking at a car's license plates you can tell where it's from: DD stands for Dresdan, B for Berlin and ROW stands for Rotenburg-W�mme. (Ulrike told us that there are five Rotenburgs in Germnay and one in Switzerland, so they always indicate the river in the address.)
Although the countryside is beautiful here, it seems like you barely get through one town and you're into another! We have also noticed quite a number of wind turbines. (Sometimes even forests of them - there is some controversy as to their asthetics and how they affect the landscape.) Wind energy has become a common form of renewable energy in Europe. There are a number of farms growing corn (for livestock feed) and potatoes. The potatoes are currently being harvested; most towns along the way have people made out of round bales that welcome you to their village and signify that Thanksgiving will be coming soon (first Sunday in October).
The houses here are mostly made of brick and some have stucco or brick siding
Ulli drove us one day to Celle (pronounced "Sella"), famous for its 16th and 17th century architecture. (As I mentioned earlier, I tried to see Celle on my journey in 1981, but we arrived after hours and the hostel wouldn't let us in, so we left. Now here I was 24 years later!) The buildings are incredibly old - we have nothing as old in Canada. It is amazing that some of these buildings are still standing as the roofs are swayed and the walls leaning at all angles. It makes your imagination run wild, sitting in a restaurant, sipping a drink and thinking about how people lived here so many centuries ago.
En route to Celle, we noticed small mobile homes or camper trailers here and there along the roadside, particularly in the more heavily forested areas. On the side of the vehicle, under a large red heart, was written "Girls, Girls". Mobile sex. Hmmm . . . .
Although guidebooks indicate otherwise, I haven't noticed many Internet cafes
Like the Dutch, Germans rely on bicycles for short distance transport. There are bicycle paths everywhere and they're often allotted more room than pedestrians! It's only in Canada and the US where pedestrians seem to have right-of-way at unmarked intersections. I keep forgetting and find it nerve-wracking to have to look out for cars as well as bikes - one of these days I'm going to be run over by a bicycle! Ulli and Heiko also enjoy walks. With Sarah along, this took a very long time because she kept wanting to stop and play.
Since we've arrived in Germany, the weather has been mild and warm. Although they have snow two-three months of the year (-10C is a very cold day), their climate is much milder. When we left home, it was looking like fall, but autumn has yet to make much of an appearance here. I do find the humidity chilly - and our friends here and in Utrecht have found it very amusing that I've been cold!
One evening Ulli and Heiko's neighbours, Katya and S�nke (pronounced "Zunka") came for supper. Sonke (or "Sonny") works with Heiko; he and Katya have two children, Marie, 4, and Elija, 10 months. Both S�nke and Heiko are on weight watchers to try and lose some weight which would be mighty difficult considering the typical German diet! Most Germans seem to have an aversion to fruit and vegetables other than potatoes. (We offered to make supper the night that S�nke and Katya came over as I was dying for a salad - I noticed that S�nke didn't touch it.)
Katya has this dream about emigrating to Canada or Australia and she seems awed by us. Sonke brought over his atlas to pinpoint where we live and asked us many questions about life in Canada. His English is amazingly good. Before the evening ends, S�nke retrieved some rumtoft for us to drink (fruit soaked in rum) and we toasted each other's health. Prost! (rhymes with "toast") The rumtoft was very potent and I purposely sipped mine very slowly so that the pitcher would be empty before I was ready for a refill! Katya and S�nke seemed fascinated with us and asked us to visit them when we returned to Rotenburg. They even suggested we stay, but Ulrike insisted that Katrin would want to host us - people are vying for us to stay with them which was very flattering!
We heard from Martin's cousin, Katrin, while at Ulli and Heiko's. She is cutting her holiday short so that we can see her before we leave Germany. Thus we plan to return to Rotenburg after visiting Berlin and Dresdan and will likely fly out of Hamburg (just north of Rotenburg) to Istanbul.

This past May I left New York for Philadelphia. Before officially moving, I tabled with For the Birds distro at the Brooklyn Zine Fest in April. It was there that I met Sarah Rose of Once Upon a Distro and organizer of the Philly Feminist Zine Fest. We talked for some time. I told her I'd be moving to Philadelphia, and she told me about the upcoming feminist zine fest. To say hearing this was a comfort would be an understatement; for me, feminist organizing is not an amenity, but a necessity.
Being in Philly now, it's amazing how it feels infinitely good, but not surprising, to see such productiveness and creativity in a new place with new people. New Yorkers, by and large, forget that there are worthwhile things happening outside of the five boroughs. But still. Coming across such motivation and camaraderie in other corners of the world creates a glow in the chest, a glimmer of hope.
Sarah Rose, along with Taryn Hipp, Jen King and Kristen Asher are the ladies behind the Philly Feminist Zine Fest. They've work diligently over the past few months to organize the event, and I was given the chance to interview Taryn and Sarah to gain some insight into their inspiration and process. The fest will be held on Sunday, August 26th from 12 – 5 at the William Way Community Center (1315 Spruce Street). Tablers at the fest include Amy Leigh of TwelveOhTwo distro, Ramsay Beyer, Riot Grrrl Philly, Jenna Freedman of the Barnard Zine Library, and our own distro here at For the Birds, among many more. Workshops include "Decriminalizing Sex" by Project SAFE, "Soapbox Alternative Zine Structure" by the Soapbox, "How to be an Ally to Sex Workers" by members of SWOP and PERSIST Health Project, and "Putting the Pain to Paper: Writing about the Tough Stuff," presented by myself and Kathleen McIntyre! There will also be a slew of raffle prizes, and much more! PFZF will also serve as a fundraiser for Project SAFE, a Philadelphia-based organization dedicated to providing health, safety and survival services to sex workers. You can find out more about PFZF here.
Be sure to come say hi at the For the Birds distro table and take part in our workshop, "Putting the Pain to Paper: Writing about the Tough Stuff" from 3 PM to 4PM! We will explore writing as a tool for processing painful experiences such as grief, illness, loss, and trauma. We will discuss the psychological impact of writing and self-publishing on both individuals and communities and explore why and how it can help us heal. Together we will do a writing exercise and provide ideas to help you engage with your own writing process. We'll also highlight the specific zines and books that we think exhibit a good job of tackling the "tuff stuff" as inspiration.

Sponsor a wreath for a veteran at Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery
The Crow Wing Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol seeks help in sponsoring wreaths that will be placed Dec. 14 at the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery at Little Falls (Camp Ripley).
Crow Wing Cadets will present the colors at the ceremony and join with other organizations in laying wreaths on the graves of veterans and family members.
One wreath sponsorship is $15. A small amount from each sponsorship remains with the squadron to help with training young people in cadet leadership, emergency services and aerospace education.
The goal is to cover each headstone with a wreath to remember and honor veterans, and several area organizations work together to accomplish this.
An online donation option is available at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org. Select "act now" then "donate locally." Scroll to Minnesota and select "MNCAP 012" to donate wreaths directly through the young people at Crow Wing Civil Air Patrol.
Or sponsor any number of wreaths or make general donations toward the project by mailing a check (made to Wreaths Across America) to Civil Air Patrol, Att: WAA, 16142 Airport Road, Brainerd, MN 56401. Or contact Commander Marcel Kobberdahl at 218-534-5418.

Eagle River: A Classic Northwoods Getaway
Last Updated: 7/1/2013
For the classic northwoods getaway, it doesn't get much better than Eagle River. When the temps drop and the snow falls, this popular area of northeast Wisconsin becomes a hot spot for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. If you're looking for a trip filled with winter fun and fantastic food, then the itinerary below should be right up your alley.
For a hearty breakfast, look no further than Leif's Cafe, just off the snowmobile trail and a hop away from the World Championship Derby Race Track. Get your fill of fresh fruit crepes or a local favorite: chipped beef on toast.
Next, if kids are part of your party, head to Northwoods Children's Museum. They'll have a ball exploring 22 exhibits like a mini log cabin, weather center and bubble science station.
When you aren't busy cross-country skiing on the Anvil National Recreation Trail or kicking up powder on the Chequamegon-Nicolet snowmobile trails, be sure to stop at the Christmas House gift shop. There you can browse thousands of ornaments on a forest of trees, along with other holiday treasures.
The Ice Palace is another must-see. Each year, volunteers put in more than 700 hours cutting blocks of ice from the lake to build a castle. The finished product decked with colored lights makes for the perfect photo opportunity.
Ready to warm up? Swing by Eagle Lanes for bowling and homemade pizza. Stop in on the weekend for live entertainment. For classic northwoods dining head to The Wicked Grill and enjoy a cozy ambiance in a beautiful log building. Get your fill of Beer Cheese Smoked BBQ Ribs (we recommend the Wicked spicy sauce), Northwoods Walleye Filet or Maple Glazed Chicken.
When it's time to catch some Z's, rest your head at Boettchers Country Lakehouses where you'll find satellite TV, fire places, and easy access to snowmobile trails. Or bunk up at Avan's Knotty Pine Cottage for a cozy rustic retreat.
There's plenty of fun to be had at Snowmobile Capital of the World. Be sure to check the snow conditions before you hit the road.

This is classified by the person being a wild and erratic sloppy walker, the appearance of their face having been caught fire and extinguished by a pick ax, fried hair, black shards for teeth, and the propensity to crawl around on the floor looking for rocks they may have dropped for hours at a time. They are most commonly incapable of sentences spanning more than two or three words.

Norton public works prepared for spring snow showers
NORTON, Va. - We're nearly one week into spring, but if you went outside today you might have mistaken it for winter.
There were snow showers across the area.
We went to Norton, Virginia where road crews were being proactive, working around the clock to keep the roads clear.
They say spring comes and brings showers with it, but many didn't expect those showers to be filled with snow. "I wish it would calm down a little bit. It's supposed to be spring break. It's supposed to be a little bit warm," said Robert Leonard.
"This time last year I was going to pound beach. It was like 80 degrees last year," said Peyton Stallar.
Steve McElroy, Norton Public Works Director, tells us snow this late in the year isn't completely uncommon. "Sometimes it seems like it's gone into the spring a little longer than it has in the past. Some of the big snows in earlier years have been in late March early April," said McElroy.
He says thankfully the weather didn't catch them off guard. "It never really completely quit this year, even though we've had some decent weather the last few weeks, the temperature hasn't gotten up like it has in the past," said McElroy.
So as the spring snow fell, they were ready. "We haven't taken our spreaders and snow plows off yet. So we kept them on," McElroy said.
McElroy tells News 5 the most important thing during a snow event is being proactive. "We'll have the night shift out tonight just because it doesn't look like this is going to stop in the next little bit," he said.
Norton Police Officer, Greg Mays has some good advice for anyone venturing out. "We'll probably see a little black ice and roads starting to freeze over as the sun starts to set this evening," he said.
Many people tell us they're just ready for the snow to go away. "T-shirts and shorts, that's what I'm looking forward to," said Stallar.
"Yes we are. We're ready for warmer weather," said Mays.
McElroy told us he would have crews working until the snow stops. So far, though, the Norton Police Department hasn't seen any wrecks from the bad weather.

My memories of the 1982 World Figure Skating championships, held in Copenhagen, Denmark include some remarkable skating by the women and by "Their Greatnesses", Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
The Women:
Elaine Zayak of the United States, the 1981 World silver medalist, had been in seventh place after the school figures and the short program, and it seemed pretty unlikely that she would be able to medal in that competition. Elaine had fallen several times at the 1982 US Nationals, where she lost her title to Roz Sumners.
I recall a bio on Elaine in which she said that she had become almost "spooked" concerning her ability to land her jumps. For Elaine Zayak to not be able to land triples, it was a disaster, as multiple triples - four triple toes and two or three triple salchows - where the bread and butter of her long programs. Elaine had a long talk with one of her coaches on this subject, and that enabled her to regain some of her confidence. Her coach told her (to paraphrase), "If you're nervous about landing your jumps, that's a normal pre-competition feeling, but if you're fearful about landing your jumps, that's an indication that you doubt your ability. What you're feeling is nerves, not fear, and you'll be OK."
Zayak skated a six-triple jump long program at the 1982 Worlds that completely blew away the competition. None of the women came close to matching her, jump for jump. She won the long program and won the World title. It was amazing.
The ISU, however, wasn't quite as thrilled, as it saw this as the dawning of a "jumping bean" syndrome for the women in which the women would focus primarily on landing triples and ignore or at least place less emphasis on artistry and presentation. The ISU instituted the ruling that became known as the "Zayak Rule", whereby a triple jump could be repeated in the long program only once, and if a triple jump was performed twice, one of those times it had to be landed in combination. This ruling took away much of Zayak's competitive edge, and effectively prevented her from winning another World title.
Katarina Witt of East Germany skated to the soundtrack from the movie "Superman" and won the silver medal. Peggy Fleming, commentating, remarked that Katarina was "such a pretty girl. She's just adorable on the ice". This was Katarina's first World medal.
Rosalyn Sumners, who had won her first of three US titles that season, was skating with an injured hip. She was unable to perform some of her triples, but she skated a respectable competition and finished sixth.
The Men:
Scott Hamilton won his second World title. One of the more interesting skaters in the men's field that year, in my opinion, was Norbert Schramm of West Germany. Norbert struck some very unusual positions in his spins and jumps, and, well, some people thought his style was quite bizarre. The judges liked his skating, though, and he won the silver medal. Canadian Brian Pockar won the bronze medal.
In the exhibition, Norbert skated over to the King and Queen of Denmark and said hello to them. Dick Button asked Norbert what he had said to the royal couple. Norbert said, "I just said hello to them". When asked what the King and Queen said in response, Norbert said, "They said hello to me". Both of them had a good laugh.
Ice Dancing:
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won their second World dance title to a terrific "Mack and Mabel" program. Their choregraphy was absolutely stunning, and the judges gave them a slew of 6.0s for presentation. Natalia Bestimianova/Andre Bukin of the USSR won the silver medal, and Judy Blumberg/Michael Siebert of the United States won the bronze medal.
The Pairs:
Sabine Baess/Tassilo Theirbach of East Germany won the gold medal with strong technical programs. Marina Pestova/
Stansilav Leonovich of the Soviet Union won the silver medal, and Kitty and Peter Carruthers of the United States won the bronze medal.

Greetings Fetts,
Here's another gauntlet question for you. The flamethrower on my ESB left gauntlet is a lttle heavy and makes the gauntlet left side heavy. Does anyone put anything inside the right side of the gauntlet to balace it better? I thought about pounding some lead fishing weights flat and hot gluing them on the right side on the inside. What does everyone think? Thanks!

Hey fellow beekeepers,
I'm a noobee to beekeeping here in the NY State...Lower Hudson Valley to be exact. 40 miles north of NYC.
This is my first year .... I have one hive on my postage stamp sized property and so far so good. My 5 1/2 year old daughter is my assistant and on crazy hat day at school she wore her beekeepers hat. Everyone in school loved her crazy hat and from then on she was hooked. http://trippingastral.com/bees/index.html
Hopefully I won't make too many dumb mistakes. The first one was picking up my nuke. It was a medium and I only had deeps! So while the nuke sat there I mad a quick trip to home depot and learned wood working real fast!
Anyway, I love beekeeping and cant wait to learn more. See you in the forums!

A History of Elegance in Utah's Cache Valley
The Riter Mansion • Logan, UT
Escape Kit
- One-Night Stay for Two in Any Suite Other than the Master Suite ($75)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in Any Suite Other than the Master Suite and Breakfast for Two ($139)
The Destination
Northern Utah is the stuff of nature paintings. Largely sheltered from the swarms of outdoor-lovers that visit the southern parts of the state, this region is awash in scenery from marshlands teeming with wildlife to the majestic Wellsville Mountains. Bear Lake is the site of many outdoor summer pursuits, while Beaver Mountain to the north offers winter diversions from skiing to snowshoeing.
The Digs
90 minutes from Salt Lake City, the stately columns flanking the entrance to the The Riter Mansion, not to mention the grand white staircase below the leaded stained-glass window inside, might lead you to believe you've stepped through a wormhole to 1920s Philadelphia. With refined interior décor and whirlpool baths in every suite, this historic bed and breakfast exudes an elegance unmatched in these climes. Three suites—the Parlor Suite (with sitting alcove, columned whirlpool, and fireplace), the Garden Suite (with fireplace, etched glass windows, and corner-set jetted tub), or the Library Suite (with cherry wood bookcases, four-poster bed, fireplace, and whirlpool tub)—take luxury to a whole new level.
The Diversions
Start your day with breakfast at the Riter. In the warmer months, canoeing and bird watching in Cutler Marsh are favorite local pastimes. During the winter, head for Beaver Mountain Resort, about 40 minutes northeast, for a day of downhill skiing, snowboarding, or cross-country skiing. Then, explore Logan's own beauteous sights, like the limestone architecture of the Logan Mormon Temple or the wildlife exhibits at the Stokes Nature Center in Logan Canyon.
Come nightfall, you'll want to head back to the Riter Mansion. Not because the town is unsafe—on the contrary, it was named the safest metropolitan area in the country in 2005 and '07. Rather, you'll want to curl up with a good book and enjoy that in-room fireplace, and a bit of historic charm.
"North [of Salt Lake City], with its cattail marshes and pasturelands framed by the gray cliffs of the Wellsville Mountains and the Bear River Range, has its own kind of beauty."-- Fodor's Review of Northern Utah

My name is Joe I go to college in NC and have relatively recently become obsessed with beekeeping! My school's research farm has two langstroth hives (vestiges of its past) which, along with a faculty advisor (quite experienced), I recently claimed. He Caught a swarm and hived it and then split the hive.
Both hives are happy the original already has 1.25/2 shallows full of liquid gold and the split has alot of capped brood. I am very excited to say i was just giivenPermission to do research on them this upcoming fall semester.
I wanted to open the floor to any ideas for potential research questions you guys may have. Anything that you haven't had time or money for (nothing to crazy) but would be interested to Learn more about.
I have a few ideas on testing the true effectiveness of some colloquial verrora treatments but that's it.
Any other ideas?

Kevin Steinhauser and Justine Mainville comprise the "electro-punk-spazz" duo Math the Band, set to make their Anchor Brain Records debut next month with Get Real, the full-length follow-up to 2009's Don't Worry (available at maththeband.com). Try to imagine, say, Matt and Kim dry-humping a Commodore 64 into submission at 300 beats per minute, and then revel in the vintage mayhem that is Math the Band.
Steinhauser started out as a solo act in 2001 and met Mainville while playing a show at her college in 2006. They started dating a few months later, and in 2007 she joined on as a keyboardist. Steinhauser builds song structures from old-school drum machines, synths, and vintage 8-bit sound effects, all calibrated to lightspeed. While Don't Worry was a nonstop acid trip at breakneck speed, the new songs still capture the madness but come alive via standard (dare I say "normal") hooks and choruses.
Steinhauser built a Commodore 64 sound chip-based synthesizer for the album (as well as incorporating plenty of NES bleeps and blips) and explained the writing process: "It's kind of like conducting a tiny band of electronics. I have a collection of old synthesizers, drum machines, video game systems, etc., that all take messages from one master computer," he said. "I notate all the parts for each gadget, and then work out guitar and drums.
"I'm more interested in the melody and rhythm of the vocals than the lyrical content," Steinhauser continued. "I write the melody and then fill in the words like a giant Mad Lib."
None of the 15 antsy anthems on Get Real drop below 170 BPM, with "Dead Physical" topping out at 310 BPM (by my math that's just over five per second). Playful numbers "Positive Stress" and "Bad Jokes" open the album, and the pogo-punk fun continues on "I Hope You Die" and "Stay Real (Sock It Yo Me Satan)." And retro video game nerds (guilty as charged) will get a good dose of déjà vu on "Hey Alright" and "Nahh."
Math the Band's live show is a must-see event; they've toured with a wide array of acts, from Afrika Bambaataa to Andrew WK. Steinhauser recalled a bloody good time opening for Matt and Kim: "Right at the end of our set, I jumped and hit my head on the ceiling and split my head wide open," he said, "and next thing I knew there was a giant puddle of blood and I was getting 11 staples in my forehead."
The duo hooked up with local imprint Anchor Brain (home to Doomsday Student, What Cheer? Brigade, and Six Finger Satellite, to namedrop a few) last year. Anchor Brain CEO Eric Paul was kind enough to drop a line while on tour with Doomsday Student in Lyon, France: "Math the Band's enthusiasm is infectious. Because of this, working on Get Real with them has inspired an excitement in me similar to when I release one of my own records. They are one of the most hardworking and dedicated bands I've ever known and they deserve all the success that this release will hopefully bring them."
Get Real will be available starting November 20 at anchorbrain.com.

Where I stayed
Ocean View Guesthouse
From our room we were just about level with walkers on the wall, which was like having front row seats at a parade. Families, couples hand-in-hand, athletes doing circuit training singly and in groups, dozens of school children in white uniform single file, a jogging group of Islamic school boys dressed all in white chanting call and response to their leader—all these went by unknowing they were making a show for us
The morning of my birthday the skies were clear and breakfast was set in the rooftop garden, bright with bougainvillea and other carefully tended flowers, and shaded by a trellis. Our only company there was the resident turtle, doing his morning constitutional stroll on the grass. It was a lovely start to Valentine's Day.
We walked the narrow streets of the fort at random, finding some handicraft shops, Dutch antique restorers, good tea spots and restaurants, as well as the Historical Mansion, crammed with unlabeled artifacts from lives in the Dutch-built fort. We settled in so long for tea at the Royal Dutch Caf� that we got started talking to the owner, Fazil, a Galle old-timer who is featured in the locally written book, Around the Fort in 80 Lives. He showed us the write-ups of other people we might know, such as the owner of our guesthouse, Ocean View. Fatima, the seamstress sewing in the back of the caf�, showed us her profile in the book, and we found that of Mrs. Wijenayake, whom we had met when we arrived. (We had shown up at her guesthouse requesting a room, and having none, she had called around, in authoritative tones, to find us a place.) So we learned about some of the inhabitants of Galle Fort. At the same time, the inhabitants of Galle Fort could teach us about Canada: "Canada has 27 million English speakers and 7 million French speakers
The day became hot and muggy; black clouds built up and then cracked in forked lightning. Thunder followed soon after like avalanching rocks, then torrential rain. We watched the storm safe on our covered balcony. When it was all over, we were able to stroll again around the wall perimeter and finish off the day with Sri Lankan rice and curry at Mama's Galle Fort Rooftop Caf�. The stars were behind the clouds that night, but the lighthouse took their place with its rotating beam.
Many blessings indeed.

Interesting question. I tried Googling around for about 10 minutes, and this is all I could find online:
P-1 = Walther P-38 9mm
P-4 = Walther P38K 9mm (really short barrel)
P-5 = Redesigned Walther P-38 9mm with an enclosed slide
P-6 = SIG 225 (single-stack 9mm)
P-7 = H&K PSP 9mm (squeeze-cocker)
P-8 = Heckler & Koch 9mm (USP variant?)
P-9 = Another H&K 9mm? (perhaps the H&K P9S? Not sure about this one...)
P-10 = Another H&K 9mm; seems to be a compact version of P-8

A 65-year-old Elton man has been charged with two counts of sexual battery of a juvenile after allegedly having inappropriate contact with a juvenile under the age of 13.
Joe Carl Bell Jr. was arrested Tuesday on a warrant, according to Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff's Office Chief Investigator Chris Ivey.
Bell was arrested following a investigation by the sheriff's office. The investigation began earlier this month after a complaint was received, Ivey said.
No bond has been set.
A 49-year-old Cameron man has been arrested and is facing extradition in connection with a bank robbery, authorities said.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Office spokeswoman Kim Myers said Allen K. Miller was arrested Tuesday, hours after a bank in Orange, Texas, was robbed.
Myers said Miller was stopped on Interstate 10 near Sulphur after the Orange Police Department released a description of the vehicle and suspect involved in the robbery.
Two Moss Bluff residents have been charged with creation or operation of a clandestine lab, methamphetamine possession, methamphetamine possession with intent to distribute and cruelty to a juvenile, authorities said.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Office spokeswoman Kim Myers said Troy E. Williford and Robyn A. Williford, both 49, were arrested Monday at their home at 805 Topsy Road, Lot No. 79.
"Detectives with the Combined Anti-Drug Task Force conducted an investigation at the Williford's mobile home after multiple reports of drug activity," Myers said Wednesday in a news release. "Detectives located several chemicals consistent with the creation or operation of a clandestine lab and suspected methamphetamine, as well as drug paraphernalia.
"Detectives also discovered a 13-year-old girl inside the mobile home, who was removed and placed with family members."
Judge Robert Wyatt set Troy Williford's bond at $70,500 and Judge Wilford Carter set Robyn Williford's at $7,500.
The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office reported the following arrests:
• Jackie Lynn Constance, 41, 405 E. Elizabeth St., Sulphur — four counts of drug possession with intent to distribute, four counts of drug possession in a drug-free zone, drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia. Bond: $65,500.
• Lashondra Michelle Rolax, 36, 404 S. Ash St., Bunkie — simple burglary, attempted theft under $500, simple criminal damage to property $500 to $50,000. Bond: $40,000.
• Trey A. Augustine, 20, 527 Amaryllis Drive, Westlake — aggravated assault with a firearm, aggravated criminal damage to property, illegal use of weapons or dangerous instruments. Bond: $30,000.
• Anthony Talmadge Fuselier, 23, 715 Landry Road, Westlake — second-offense DWI, reckless operation, possession of alcoholic beverages in motor vehicles. Bond: $2,600.
• Dylan Wade Youngblood, 20, 1735 N. Woodland Drive — theft under $300, simple criminal damage to property $500 to $50,000. Bond: $1,500.
• Devone F. Deville, 28, 2007 Winterhalter St. — drug possession with intent to distribute.

Analyzing swimming schools of fish inspired a California biophysicist to try to improve the performance of wind turbines
Catherine Clabby
One challenge to generating power from propeller-equipped wind turbines—the giant type used in most wind farms today—is that the devices need their space.
Placed too close together, the turbines suffer from contact with one another's aerodynamic wakes. To achieve good performance, the sizable turbines must be separated by three or more times their diameters when side by side, says California Institute of Technology biophysicist John Dabiri. A distance of 5 to 10 times their width is needed to the front and to the back. "A mile is not uncommon for downwind spacing of large turbines," Dabiri says.
This snag limits the amount of power that can be generated per square meter of land on most wind farms. That's not ideal in a world where urban areas are sprawling and open space for wind-energy harvesting—especially near energy-hungry population centers—can be hard to come by.
But there may be another way. Narrower, vertical-axis turbines, which resemble egg-beater blades more than propellers, eat up less space but convert less wind energy into the mechanical energy that produces electricity. Now Dabiri and his colleagues—inspired by how schools of fish swim—have a strategy that could significantly improve their output.
"This potentially could work in urban areas. But I think the bigger fish to catch is to use this for utility-scale power in the same way wind farms are designed," says Dabiri, whose findings were published in the July issue of the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy.
A 2010 MacArthur Fellow, Dabiri investigates fluid dynamics in air, water, even blood flow. Specifically, he observes the physics and mathematics on display in the vortices that movement generates in those media. And he has studied the way schools of fish align themselves in geometric patterns that decrease the chances that they will be in the path of another animal's underwater wake.
Like a lot of researchers today, Dabiri is also interested in the development of energy sources to replace, or at least supplement, polluting fossil fuels. It occurred to him that vertical turbines might benefit from strategic placement of their own, but in this case in the path of their neighbors' airflow wakes.
With Caltech graduate students Robert Whittlesey and Sebastian Liska, Dabiri first explored this idea with a mathematical model that yielded promising results, as reported last year in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics. More recently Dabiri supervised field testing of six 10-meter-tall vertical-axis wind turbines in California's Antelope Valley.
Vertical turbines worked best when placed in stair-step-shaped patterns and when blades of alternating turbines rotated in different directions. That allowed them to extract energy from differently shaped vortices thrown by other turbines. Whereas wind farms stocked with horizontal-axis wind turbines produce two to three watts of power per square meter of land area, the field tests convinced Dabiri that vertical-axis turbines could produce 10 times as much in the same space.
Wind power is far from a major energy source in the United States. In 2010, it generated only 2 percent of the country's electricity, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Problems with mechanical reliability and energy storage persist, Dabiri says. Working with a start-up company in California to improve vertical turbines, he hopes to help change that.
Dabiri's efforts fit into what researchers call bioinspiration, rather than biomimicry, says West Chester University marine biologist Frank Fish, who also looks to nature for useful innovation. Fish has examined the ways that tubercles, or bumps, on the flippers of humpback whales improve their control while swimming. His findings have inspired new takes on turbine blades, fans and surfboards.
Even if nature hasn't solved the very same problem a researcher is tackling, Fish says, it can prompt ideas. "When looking at things like windmills, you might not get the same field of flow you find in fish. Still, you get the idea that fish align themselves," Fish says. "You extrapolate."

In order to protect ourselves from society's biggest monsters, we must first begin to understand them. Killing for Sport is the most valuable insight into the minds of serial killers you'll ever read. In it, criminal profiler pat Brown reveals the truth behind the myths: how serial killers hunt for victims, why they torture them, where they stash their bodies, and much more.
©2008 Pat Brown (P)2003 Phoenix
"A good start for the average person!"
As a doctoral student in forensic psychology, I appreciate Brown's "toning down" of normally complex and often disturbing facts about serial killers. Her efforts to dispel common myths about these monsters is a public service, as she tries to alert everyday people about the importance of maintaining a state of suspicious alertness as you go through your daily life; serial killers, as well as murderers and rapists, CAN be in your neighborhood, at your workplace, waiting on you at the store, gas station, or even in your home as they install the alarm you believe will keep you safe. Remember BTK worked for an extremely well-known, national home security/alarm company, as a means to gain entry to the homes of at least one of his victims. She is not a professional narrator and her sometimes awkward pauses and drawn-out phrases bear that out, but her natural dark sense of humor bleeds through and she is quite effective at making her main points easily understood. The pace of the book proceeds very smoothly and quickly for the most part, and I found the book to be largely entertaining and it should prove very informative for anyone who is not technically or professionally trained in the relevant fields. Pat Brown has a entertainingly quirky way of presenting her book. Bear in mind that there is some disturbing material contained therein, and Brown's dark humor regarding that material will be offensive to people not accustomed to dealing with forensics, violent crime, and criminology.
"Great book"
Pat Brown really takes you into the mind of these monsters who kill for sport. She has done her homework and knows the subject well. I really enjoyed the book and highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a well written work.
I loved the information and the stories. Held my attention and kept me riveted. Practical information for protecting yourself from becoming a victim. Gives a different view of profiling which I found fascinating and logical. Great performance! I really enjoyed the author's dry sense of humor and cynicism. I will definitely be looking for other books by this author.
"Fascinating & Frightening Insight"
Although the author is a bit more flippant than necessary when describing some of the details, he is clearly an expert who takes his job seriously. This is a straight forward look into psyche of some very dark-hearted killers. If you do a lot of jogging on lonely park trails (as my wife and I often do), you may find yourself opting for the road more traveled for a week or two! This is a must listen for anyone interested in the learning about the criminal mind.
"Eye Opening!!!"
This is a GREAT book, it is writing and read by the author and she was in both areas extremely well written and read the book as only one who has lived though the issues of her career. I very highly recommend this book it is something that all folks need to hear and to understand that these person Pat reads about live among us and it behooves us to learn of those around us who do killing for sport!!!!
The understanding of how those of whom Pat has written about are in most way NORMAL.
She is not just reading a book she has lived this book!!
That the violent people appear normal.
You must buy this book!!
I love to read books ! Aren't they great! I am a Special education teacher for high school students and they love listening to books!
"One KILLER BOOK!"
This is one of my favorite books and to hear the author reading it personally made it that much more enjoyable! I love her voice and it is really engaging to listen to.
Every moment was memorable! I have listened to it many times and it just gets better each time.
The beginning, middle and end.... So, all of it I would say!
The topic matter of killing people for the fun of it is extreme. But the author, Pat Brown, did a fantastic job in relaying the sadistic side of these sadistic killers we have roaming about in our society. You won't be able to stop listening to it!
Yes, make sure you have the book to follow along with while you are listening to it and I would recommend the other books that Pat Brown has authored! Definitely check those out!
"Nothing I didn't already know"
I have read many books about serial killers and I bought this book with the hopes that it would give me more information about how and why serial killers do what they do. The author decided to write a book about the things we need to know about serial killers in order to prevent us from being a victim of one. Great idea, but there was nothing revealed in this book I did not already know as an avid reader of this genre.
This was a let down. It seemed to be devoid of any insight other than telling us that Criminal Profiling is deeply flawed or so scattershot that it gets it right by default and there's zero sense of getting 'inside the mind of serial killers' as stated in the title.
It's fluff, albeit unpleasant fluff and felt like something that could have been done in one chapter rather than stretched across a whole book.
Also the snarky 'these guys are just wacko' tone doesn't really sit right with the terrible crimes discussed.
