Town Square
If it's Brown, it's ignored
Original post made by Cliff Hanguerre, Danville, on Jul 28, 2011
Supervisor Karen Mitchoff went to great lengths to assure everyone that there was no violation of the Brown Act, California's open meeting law. She stressed that there was no meeting of a quorum. The Brown act provides that if a quorum of a policy group (the CC-BOS is one of these) meets outside of a scheduled meeting, it is a violation. The law rightly says that the public's business is to be conducted in public.
However, Mitchoff was strangely silent about another Brown Act specification: the serial meeting. It's allowed for 2 members of a 5 member board to meet and discuss things but if one of those folks then talks to ANOTHER member of that board, that discussion immediately constitutes a quorum and is a violation. Did it happen for the redistricting discussion? Who knows?
But there was another possible anomaly of this meeting. A highly placed source in the county offices, "Deep Threat", noted that the CC-BOS redistricting meeting was out of compliance with the County's Better Government Ordinance (known to its friends as the BGO). The BGO requires that all documents be in the hands of the BOS and the public at least 96 hours before any meeting that those documents will be used in. The redistricting maps used in the CC-BOS meeting were not supplied in time for the meeting to be legal.
Yes, I know nothing will probably change, but the rules and ordinances are there for a reason. But they were ignored by some of our supes. It's a pity.

Dear Editor,
Quite clearly the reality of three supervisors meeting together or in sequence during July 13 and 14 happened based on discovered documentation by news services. What needs to be added is state elected officials who were part of that sequence and documented their contributions without fear of the Brown Act due to "who would prosecute?"
That evidence started its flow via news service alliance this week and establishes the challenges to due process created by such violations. Since it was a State Democratic Party action that created the result, Republicans and Independents now have cause to challenge due process and the criminal results of such actions.
County supervisors have few friends in county politics and the leak of documented evidence continues to illustrate a severe lack of due process and lack of consideration of parameters for state-mandated redistricting. It is still amazing that supervisors, along party lines, actually thought they can get away with such violations.
News service alliance distributed such documentation today to subscribers and new media.

For Dolores Fox Ciardelli, as a proposed special feature,
Dear Dolores,
As WE have been shared with you via e-exchanges, news services subscribers are asking "Who will prosecute violations of the Brown Act and other public due process violations?" Our research shows that such investigation by CCC Grand Juries have not resulted in further investigation and prosecution.
Your readers would find it interesting to review the processes of investigation and prosecution of violations of public due process. At present, there does not seem to be a willingness at the federal, state or county level to pursue identified violations in Grand Jury reports and other published evidence of such violations.
Inform your readers, please.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Wildlands Conservancy will be dam busting this summer
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Some well-known dams on Little Lehigh and Jordan creeks will be removed this summer by Wildlands Conservancy.
They include the Robin Hood dam in Allentown's Lehigh Parkway and another in the city's Jordan Park, as well as the dam over Jordan Creek dam next to MacArthur Road in Whitehall Township.
A total of nine dams will be removed.
The conservancy will restore free-flowing conditions to more than 15 miles of the two streams, improving their environmental health.
"We're bringing back a natural stream system," said Kristie Fach, director of ecological restoration at the conservancy. "It's been over a century since these streams have been flowing freely."
She said this summer's work will be the biggest dam removal project ever done in this area.
Five of the doomed dams are on the Little Lehigh –three of them in Lehigh Parkway -- and are four on the Jordan. The two streams converge in Allentown, not far from where the Little Lehigh flows into the Lehigh River.
Fach refers to the Jordan as a tributary of the Little Lehigh, which is why the dam removal project is called the Little Lehigh Creek Watershed Restoration Project.
Not every dam will be removed from the two streams. The Fountain Park dam that spans the Little Lehigh between 8th and 10th streets in Allentown will remain. It is needed because the city draws drinking water from the creek just upstream from that dam. If the dam was removed, the water intakes in the stream might not work, said Fach.
The Fountain Park dam is one of only two dams that will remain on the lower Little Lehigh.
The conservancy still is negotiating with two private property owners to remove another Little Lehigh dam less than two miles downstream from the Wildlands Conservancy's offices right outside Emmaus. Fach said that concrete and rock dam already is partially breached.
She said someday the conservancy would love to remove all dams on both streams. "We started downstream, closest to the Lehigh River. We'll keep working upstream to the next dam, as long as there is one."
The conservancy won't just tear out the dams and walk away. In the summer of 2014, stream banks at the dam sites will be graded and trees and other vegetation will be planted on the restored banks, to prevent future erosion and provide more habitat for birds and other wildlife. Small structures also will be placed in the streams to improve fish habitat.
Fach said the $431,000 project began nearly five years ago. It involved getting permission from property owners, as well as obtaining state approvals and funding.
The smallest dam that will be removed is on the Little Lehigh just below the Wild Cherry Lane bridge in Lower Macungie Township. It is on land owned by the township. On April 4, in response to a letter from Fach, Lower Macungie commissioners unanimously voted to have that dam removed.
The other four Little Lehigh dams being removed are farther downstream. One is privately-owned, but just across the stream from the Conservancy's Pool Wildlife Sanctuary on the Emmaus/Lower Macungie boundary.
The Lehigh Parkway dams are near Keystone Road, at Fish Hatchery Road near the trout nursery and at the popular Robin Hood picnic area.
In addition to removing the Jordan Park dam in Allentown and the nearby MacArthur Road dam in Whitehall, a third Jordan Creek dam will be removed just downstream from the Route 22 overpass. The fourth to be removed is along Mickley Road near Helfrich Springs in Whitehall.
Fach said all four of those dams are on publicly-owned land. The three in Whitehall are within the Jordan Park Greenway.
After the four dams are removed, Jordan Creek will be free-flowing for about nine miles – from the point where it flows into the Little Lehigh all the way up to a dam near where it flows under Cedar Crest Boulevard, according to Fach.
Some of the dams were built to serve water-powered mills and Facht said others may have just been built for esthetic reasons, to create swimming holes or so farmers could water their livestock. No one knows why some were built.
What's wrong with dams? They prevent sediment from flowing downstream, so silt piles up behind them. The water becomes shallow, warm and slow-moving -- producing less oxygen for fish. Accumulating silt buries eggs laid by fish, preventing them from hatching. It also buries insect eggs, which reduces the food supply for fish.
You might think dams create good fishing holes, but Fach said streams immediately above dams are aquatic deserts, with very little fish life.
The Little Lehigh is a very popular high-quality trout fishing stream and trout need cold water to sustain a breeding population, explained Scott Alderfer, conservation chairman for the Little Lehigh chapter of Trout Unlimited.
He explained the spring-fed stream maintains a year-round water temperature of about 55 degrees, but its water gets too warm above a dam.
Alderfer also is chairman of the Lower Macungie Advisory Council. He described the Little Lehigh as Lower Macungie's spine, saying it flows from one end of the township to the other. He suggested that Lower Macungie work with Wildlands Conservancy to remove the Wild Cherry Lane dam, which he called a bottleneck that increases upstream flooding.
Fach said removing dams reduces flooding. She explained a stream above a dam already is close to the top of its banks. When heavy rains come, those streams go over their banks.
Dams also are attractive nuisances that create public safety issues. She said property owners may be responsible if someone gets hurt. Not only can people slip on algae-covered concrete, but the force of water going over even a small dam can knock them down. Fach said unsuspecting rafters on the Little Lehigh have gone over dams. A dog recently drowned in the dam at Jordan Park in Allentown.
Facht also said dams don't last forever, adding property owners face large bills if they have to remove a breached or damaged dam from a stream.
Removing dams and planting buffers of vegetation along streams discourages large flocks of geese that now land on pond-like surfaces above dams and waddle across adjoining lawns, creating concentrations of droppings that add too much nutrient to slow-moving water, causing more algae to grow.
Fach said Moravian College students have monitored the health of the two streams above the dams, checking factors such as water temperature, oxygen levels and fish counts. Moravian students will do comparative monitoring after the dams are removed and the banks have been restored and planted.
Most of the money for the watershed restoration project --$331,000 -- came from the state Department of Environmental Protection. Another $75,000 was provided by FishAmerica Foundation and $25,000 came from American Rivers.
Fach said a dam owned by Wildlands Conservancy at its Pool Wildlife Sanctuary was one of the first removed in Pennsylvania when it was taken out in 2000. She said the conservancy also removed three dams from Allentown's Trout Creek two years ago.

Well, though, give the girl a break. She got herself up, obviously practiced like a trouper, showed up at this small rink (first time I've ever seen a fancam give us almost the entire routine in one piece--that must be a tiny rink), and did all her triples. She may not have the performance glitter aspect of it down pat yet, but she sure didn't stint on the athletics. I always found her a bit aloof from the audience anyway: I think that unlike Michelle or Kurt or Daisuke, she doesn't naturally radiate charisma at the audience. She probably has to work at it, and understandably she spent most of her training time working on things like the jumps. This foray into competitive skating should give her the confidence to gleam a little more in her next competition. You just watch. She will have us out of breath before long.
I think she was doing it purely to get enough TES, not b/c she's so thrilled to be competing at a B-comp in Europe in this freezing weather (her flight was massively delayed, and she arrived 1 day later than planned b/c of snow), and so on. The min TES requirement is ridiculous, since she's not only the reigning Oly champion, but she did compete in 2 worlds after the Vancouver competition, and medaled in both events (silver), plus she still holds the world record scores in short & long plus combined. Perhaps the only requirement should've been that Yuna wins the Korean nationals, maybe. But regardless, she came and did her thing better than most people expected after a long break (one & a half years)
Jump content in free: 3lz-3t,3f,2a-2t-2lo,2a-3t,3lo,3lz,3s ? Can we dream??
That's still more than what the top senior ladies are doing these days, with two Lutzes and a difficult triple-triple.

Detailed Description:
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease of unknown etiology characterized by infiltration of inflammatory cells into the intestinal tract. OKT3 is an approved drug for intravenous use in the treatment of solid-organ transplantation. However, intravenous dosing has been limited by significant toxicities. Data from animal models suggest that anti-CD3 administered via the oral route is effective at treating a variety of autoimmune diseases. No side effects were observed in a recent phase I study of healthy subjects receiving oral anti-CD3 mAb.
The objectives of the current study are to assess the safety, immunologic effects and efficacy of short-term oral administration of OKT3 in patients with active ulcerative colitis . OKT3 will be delivered orally as a 1 mg or 2 mg dose with Omeprazole 20 mg daily for 30 consecutive days in an open-label pilot trial. Thirty two subjects will be screened for a targeted completion of 16 enrolled patients. The subjects will be evaluated at baseline, day 1, day 2, week 1, week 3, as well as after completion of therapy at week 5 and 10 after the initiation of treatment. Lab tests will be performed at screening, baseline, day 2, week 1, week 3, week 5 and week 10. Clinical data will be collected at all study visits and via diary entries throughout the study period. A flexible sigmoidoscopy will be done at baseline and at week 5. Stool studies will be performed at screening to rule out infection.
To be eligible for this study, subjects must be between the ages of 18 and 65 years and have a history of moderately to severely active UC as defined by a Mayo score of 6 to 12. They may not be taking concurrent biologic or immunomodulator therapy for UC.

From our earliest campaigns in South Africa and Latin America to our latest work to end US occupation of Iraq, bring our troops home from Afghanistan, and prevent war in Iran, Global Exchange has been a leader in the peace movement.
In Colombia, East Timor, Nigeria, Guatemala and Chiapas, we have supported peaceful communities whose lives were in danger, by sending fact finding delegations, publishing exposes, providing witness and accompaniment so that human rights workers are protected by an international spotlight. In 1990, recognizing that the first US war with Iraq was rooted in our dependence on oil, we launched the No Blood for Oil campaign, organizing college teach-ins, providing toolkits and trainings for students to mobilize against the war.
In the aftermath of 9/11, Global Exchange immediately launched "No Hate Zones," helping communities come together to stop hate crimes and to help build the largest anti-war coalition in the US. All of our work promotes cooperation and dialogue over conflict and prioritizes international collaboration as central to insuring peace.

In a major speech on climate change, President Obama laid out a specific second-term plan to limit carbon pollution that contributes to global warming, telling students in the crowd at Georgetown University that he refuses to "condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that's beyond fixing."
While the meat of the speech centered on ordering the EPA to regulate emissions from coal-fired power plants (as well as pledging that the federal government draw 20 percent of its power from renewables by 2020), the President did throw greens two very big, and very welcome, surprises.
First, Obama hinted, for the first time, that the Keystone XL pipeline might not be approved—and for climate-related reasons.
"Our national interest will be served only if this project doesn't significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution," Obama said. "The net effects of the pipeline's impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this project can go forward."
In other words, it's possible the pipeline might be built, if the Canadian tar sands will continue to be exploited and shipped by rail or truck. But, as climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann noted, "Since all objective analyses indicated that the construction of the pipeline will lead to increased carbon emissions (because it will lead to far greater extraction of Canadian tar sands), this should translate to a decision not to move forward on that project."
In either case, framing Keystone XL as a carbon polluter rather than a jobs creator is a positive step.
But the bigger surprise was one oblique line near the end: "invest, divest."
Climate activists at 350.org and elsewhere who are pushing universities to divest from fossil fuels interpret it as Presidential approval of their goal, modeled on the 1980s movement to divest American universities from companies doing business with apartheid South Africa. MSNBC host Chris Hayes calls it "the most crypto-radical line the President has ever uttered."
But back to the plan's centerpiece: ordering the EPA to regulate the emissions on existing power plants. These were mandated by a 2007 Supreme Court decision; Bush avoided them completely, Obama waited until his fifth year to begin them, and it'll take years before the regulations come into effect. Although the plan—the nitty gritty details of which can be found here—is billed as one that doesn't need to pass in Congress, it will need to pass the third coequal branch of government: the federal courts. Challenges to Environmental Protection Agency rules on existing power plants are sure to be aggressively litigated by affected power plants.
By and large, greens were very pleased with the speech.
Former Vice President Al Gore hailed Obama's words as, "by far the best address on climate by any president ever." Grist super blogger Dave Roberts tweeted: "Speech is strong. This is what greens have wanted, right? A high-profile, bully-pulpit attack on climate?"
The speech's requisite call-to-arms passage came near the end, when Obama pleaded with young Americans to become the climate radicals that will lead a nationwide eco-movement:
I don't have much patience for anyone who denies that this challenge is real. We don't have time for a meeting of the flat earth society.
Sticking your head in the sand might make you feel safer, but it's not going to protect you from the coming storm. And ultimately, we will be judged as a people and as a society and as a country on where we go from here.
Our founders believed that those of us in positions of power are elected not just to serve as custodians of the present, but as caretakers of the future. And they charged us to make decisions with an eye on a longer horizon than the arc of our own political careers. That's what the American people expect. That's what they deserve. And someday our children and our children's children will look at us in the eye and they'll ask us, did we do all that we could, when we had the chance, to deal with this problem and leave them a cleaner, safer, more stable world? And I want to be able to say, yes, we did. Don't you want that?
Americans are not a people who look backwards. We're a people who look forward. We're not a people who fear what the future holds; we shape it.
But, as with any Presidential speech, words are word are words.
Stay tuned to see what, if any, of these proposals Obama actually achieves before he leaves office in January 2017.

I have one Warre hive (my others are standard 8-frame medium hives). The warre hive survived the winter, but appears very weak. I checked it this afternoon, there are just a few bees (maybe a pound, could be less). They are in two boxes of drawn comb, though appear to be occupying only the top box.
Because this is a Warre hive, it is difficult for me to fully inspect the hive. Without tearing the hive apart, I did see some nectar/honey, but I can't tell if there is any brood. (when I turned the box on its side, no brood was visible so if there is some it would be minimal). The hive is bringing in some pollen, and some say that is evidence of a queen and brood, but others say it isn't.
So, is there anyway to tell if there is a queen? If there is not a queen, or a very poor queen, how do you re-queen a Warre hive?

Anyone got any good video of ways to split hives? Walk off method is probably the best for me.
Anyone got any good video of ways to split hives? Walk off method is probably the best for me.
Check out You Tube.
Good Luck
This one would have to be on the top of your list
Every time I see a video of this beekeeper I am impressed by how effortlessly she seems to get her work done.
With open toed shoes too. I wouldn't.
I watched the video. Those German hive look nice! Are they Styrofoam?
(6th year, 15 hives, Zone 5b, 5500')
Those epe boxes and accessories would be nice but the shipping would be killer. They are much more durable than beemax. There is a good box being made in Alberta but they are close to $20 ea and freight would be a killer.
Well if i worked with my bees like she is i'd need a epipen guess i have a lot to learn .
I'd love to work with out my ultrabreeze no way or even no gloves but my bee's know they get me every time.
Great video. Bet she has some arms on her hell i feel like a old man after watching her throw them deeps around .
Say hello to the bad guy!
year five==== 31 hives==== T{OAV}
here's what i did and it worked well for me. pick your best hives and try the cut down split as described by michael bush at:
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
The Bushfarms website is an incredible resource and every beek should have a good read in there.
Acebird's method will work, but, I would take one frame, from box one and put it in box two. Leave the next frame in box one. Take the next frame from box one and put it in box 2. Leave the next frame in box one. Repeat until there are no frames left to divide.. You can then close the hives and walk away.
The reason I like taking alternating frames, over just taking a full box is.... You may wind up with no viable eggs in one of the hive bodies, and the queen and all the viable eggs are in the other box. No chance for them to make a new queen.
If you can, move box 2 a considerable distance ( 2 to 3 miles) it is better, if you can't, field bees will return to box one, but, that is not normally a big problem. If I am doing several, I like to mark them, within two days you will be able to tell which one has the queen. Watch the other one closely for a week to insure they are making queen cells, and capping them. Continue to watch to insure a new queen emerges and starts laying. If this doesn't happen for whatever reason, you will need to place a new queen with that hive.
Walkaways will work as long as there is unsealed brood in the hive that doesn't have the queen, and they make queen cells, and the new queen emerges and gets mated. You do lose considerable time with this method, over splitting, (find the queen) and place a new queen with the hive that does not have the queen. Downside here is, queens cost money.
Hope this is helpful.
the best method of splitting is the one that lets you accomplish your objective for making the split in the first place.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
squarepeg... Very true...lots of objectives for making splits.
Making a split is NOT dealing cards! If the donor colony can't afford to lose a consolidated outer portion of it's core cluster, you shouldn't be taking anything from it! The same is slightly less true when making nucs from combinations of non thriving colonies. THe purpose is not to totally disorganize the bees and intentionally stress them as much as possible.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
When splitting a double deep hive the very first thing I do is set the top box off onto the bottom that you will be using for your split, divide and conquer so to speak. The queen can normally be found where there are eggs and open brood. I take a quick inventory of brood and divide it somewhat evenly and in the process almost always find the queen.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Acebird... Yes that will work, however there is no certainty that the smoke will drive her to the bottom. If it does, and most of the brood is in the bottom box, and you have driven her down with smoke, she will be in the bottom box with most of your brood. If boxes above does not have viable eggs, that colony is doomed.
I prefer to find her, and with experience, it is not all that difficult. But, in a walkaway, as mleck said he was very likely going to do, you need unsealed brood in both boxes because you don't know for sure where she is, and you need viable eggs in the box that does not have the queen. The only way to walk away and be sure, is to have viable eggs in each box.
Reference Vanve G.... Splitting bees is not like dealing cards, agreed, but, the best way to assure survivability, and quick groth, of a walkaway split, as mleck is considering, of both colonies is to have brood in all stages, as well as honey and pollen in each of the boxes.

Oma, your comment has been made invalid due to your lack of writing skills. The positivity behind your message was made garbage by your fail writing. Let me help you there…
"The intention of the heart is what matters, and I know she has a good heart. Children are the leaders of tomorrow, and if she can volunteer to care for more she has a good heart. Thumbs up Angie, God is watching!!"
There see how much better that looks. Now practice and stop making yourself look stupid. Make the leaders of tomorrow proud.

Hansen is hard on players but also knows how to leaven that with downtime. Steve Hansen has accrued test combat knowledge in 145 internationals.
As a head coach with Wales he won a third of those 29 duels, but this season with the All Blacks he has been undefeated in a 13-match sequence. In between, as an All Black assistant, he watched and soaked up much of what test rugby can throw at teams in 103 games.
Hansen is hard on players but also knows how to leaven that with downtime. He can relax with them, he can chivvy them, he makes them feel comfortable.
He carries a fear factor as Graham Henry did but Hansen lets that pass, he does not carry enduring grumbles. If he has a beef with anyone - players, officials, media, sponsors - he will front you and then move on.
Players understand but do not take that as a sign of weakness. Incurring Hansen's displeasure the next time is not an easy scene.
Ian Foster delivers the sort of inquisition Hansen used to at selection and planning meetings.
He did not know Hansen especially well before this season but his work ethic, sense of perspective and humour have rounded out their partnership.
He has looked after the backs and the attacking plays the All Blacks have worked. He was a longtime Super rugby coach who never quite cracked it with the Chiefs and many saw that as a sign of weakness. Perhaps it was but Foster sits comfortably in an assistant role.
His demeanour and raspy wit allow him to deal comfortably with most situations and devote himself to the team cause.
His predecessor Wayne Smith would have shaded him for experience, perhaps even invention with the attack, but Foster is working strongly to blend newer players to the experience.
Brian McLean is the defence coach, a man who had been linked with Hansen before in sport and business dealings and had some time with Samoa.
It was deemed a bit of a gamble to use him at international level in Henry's old role as defence coach, but Hansen, Foster and third selector Grant Fox would not entrust their teams to someone they did not trust.
So far yielding 14 tries in 13 tests has been a strong yardstick and by comparison, last year the All Blacks conceded 16 tries in 12 tests as they built to their World Cup triumph.

text: I'm working on a 1980 Volvo 265 Wagon that has an S-10 or Blazer 4.3 in it. I would like to add cruise control to the car - but i want to use the Volvo cruise control switch and wiring and the Chevy cruise control module. To do this, I will need a wiring diagram for both vehicles. Obviously I don't expect anyone here to be able to help me with the Volvo part of the wiring, but I was hoping that someone would have a wiring diagram or something that tells me what wire goes to what on the cruise control wiring for the Chevy? Also need to know if the aftermarket pulse generator I have in line with the speedometer cable will work with the blazer cruise control module. It says right on it that it produces 8 pulses per revolution, I dont know what the blazer cruise control module needs as far as a pulse goes from a VSS. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Квартира для двух человек максимум для трех человек, А так все нормально
we had a plaesant stay at George´s Apartment in Piraeus. The Apartment is perfectyl located in the centre of Piraeus
The apartment we stayed was clean and very spacious. We also asked for an airport transfer and it was made in quite reasonable price with no problems. Contact we Mr George is ok but I would really appreciate bigger support before we made a decision and chose his apartment.
If I can make any clues for your stay in Athens - book an apartment nearby the sea and don't worry about transport time or cost to city center ;)
the apartment is very good and clean, near the center. But we had a chick in delay of 2 hours (14:00 instead 12:00). In general, we are satisfied.
We have had a wonderful Holiday in House Roustika. A fantastic beutifull House! Everything was perfect and we were meat with great kindfullnes and hospitality from our contact person: Eleni and the People, that lived in the Village! We can warm recommend House Roustika for everyone.
Amazing clean and cozy apartment with everything you need. great and save area, we really enjoyed the stay and can warmly recommend George as a host ;-))
Laura, Kathi, Line and Peter
George was an excellent house manager, replied quickly and in detail for each request. The house is very nice, quite and clean, very bright with a fantastic view on Athens's harbour and more. Everything worked well. Pireaus area is not so comfortable to get beaches and Acropoli (it took about 45/55 minutes) but you can easily get buses and the metro stop is about 10' far away.
George is a great host, his apartment is very pleasant and robust. If you are looking to stay in that area, then it is the best place to stay. George was very attentive to my needs and made everything possible to accommodate my desires.
I would definately recommed the Apartment to everyone. It is fully renovated and modern decorated. George was a perfect Host and always very helpful.
The location is unbeatable for sure. Great Areas like Plaka, Acropolis, Monastiraki, Kolonaki are all within walking distance, from 1 minute away to a maximum of 15 minutes.
Athens in general is allways worth it to go there.
Thanks George. See you next time in Athens.
The location is unbeatable - a quiet side street, but seconds from the Acropolis site, museum and the adjoining metro, Easy walks to all the major sites. The flat is nice - a decent size, good bathroom, clean, well appointed. Its a raised ground floor flat, so the views either way aren't much, but you only have to turn the corner for views of Hadrian's Temple or the Acropolis.

Olomouc (pronounced Ollomoats), is a university town 250 km east of Prague. It had a beautiful town square and lovely architecture like Prague, just without the tourists, which was lovely.
The town is famous for its astronomical clock, remodelled by the Communists with proleterian workers in place of the 12 apostles (see movie).
The town square is really nice, and so peaceful compared to Prague. I wandered around the cobbled alleyways, ate some really interesting Czech food, and visited the botanic gardens. The town has a really nice feel, and I'm glad I went.
From here it's a short bus trip back to Prague, where I catch a flight to Amsterdam and then on to Heathrow to meet Nick and the gang. With the foiled plot to blow up American planes departing from the UK security at Heathrow will be very tight, and I'm hoping there will be no more flight cancellations, which would leave me stuck in Amsterdam.

Crosslake council to have county assess city's planning, zoning
The Crosslake City Council voted in favor of having Crow Wing County Land Services conduct an assessment of the city's Planning and Zoning Department during a special meeting Thursday morning, Jan. 31.
The measure was spearheaded by council member Mark Wessels, who said the county would provide an assessment free of charge. He believes an employee from the county would spend a day a week in Crosslake.
In a memo to the council, Wessels said the county would spend approximately two to three months evaluating Crosslake planning and zoning's systems, processes and employee performance.
The council plans to meet with county staff prior to beginning the assessment to learn details on how the county would make assessments and develop a timeline.
A position was recently vacated in the planning and zoning department, as planner/zoning coordinator Edy Asell resigned effective Jan. 25. The council made no decision whether to advertise for that position, opting to see the results of the county's assessment before making a decision.
Look for more information on this story in the Feb. 7 issue of the Lake Country Echo and online.

text: It was suggested that I requeen my hives to prevent swarming. I got two Russians from fatbeeman. I found 1 of my overwintered Queens in the super laying a good pattern. I could not bring myself to killing her. I placed her and all the brood from the super into a shallow and made her a hive. The new Russian is laying eggs already in the old hive. The other Russian Queen went into a split. I can not see destoying what appears to be a great laying, healthy Queen. I reduced the photos as much as possible.

The Atlantic Examines Risk of HIV Through Marital Sex for Women in Chiapas, Mexico
September 17, 2013
"[F]or women living in rural Mexico, marital sex represents the single greatest risk for HIV infection," The Atlantic reports in an article examining the situation in the Mexican state of Chiapas, the poorest in the country. "For married women in Chiapas, abstinence is nearly impossible and condoms are difficult to introduce into relationships where the power balance is stacked against them. In short, men don't want to wear condoms and women, economically and culturally dependent on their husbands, can't afford to lose them," the magazine writes. The Atlantic profiles several HIV-positive women living "in La Reforma, a small refinery town in the northeastern corner of Chiapas," who attended a support group meeting for the first time (Hershaw, 9/16).

Anyone know?
Anyone know?
If the combs are sealed properly...It should....
PDB killed SHB for me but the concentration is higher than wax moths to be effective. BT just makes them laugh while they are eating.
BT is specific to Lepidoptera
So I guess I'm saying beware. Wax moths are not your only problems with stored supers. Altho I hate doing so, I don't think I'll store supers again without using PDB. Drawn comb is just too valuable and there is just no sure way of knowing that SHB (or their eggs) are not already in them.

Why use PDB when it is really difficult to air the comb long enough/well enough when you want to give it back to the bees. 24 hours in the freezer deals efficiently with wax moth and I'm fairly sure that SHB would seccumb as well.
May you live long and prosper,

I have put PDB stored combs onto a hive after airing it out for less than an hour without any problems. Rather air it out for 24 hours but sometimes you need a super right away!

This Shop Coat is Heavy Duty
Reviewer: Chuck Fuehrer (Orange, Ca)
This shop coat is heavy duty and well constructed. Especially like the snap closure in place of the buttons. Easier to take off and unlike my other shop coat which I snagged on a vise and 3 of the buttons pop off in a matter of seconds. This coat is heavier than most but definitely will keep your clothes clean. Overall it seems to be a great shop coat.

I have purchased 5 of these shop coats over the years and there is a simple reason why - they are very well crafted and are delivered in a timely manner
got this to use as a shop coat in my woodworking classes
Reviewer: John Lipofsky (Turner, , ME)
I needed a new shop coat as my old flannel shirt was about wore out. I teach woodworking and needed something simple to keep the shavings from my pockets as they clog the drain on the washing machine. Good value, Had the coat trimed to thigh length as it was to long for my needs, now it works great. The sizes do run small by about 1 or 2 sizes.
Great Shop Coat
Reviewer: Steve Beck (Hanford, California)
Nice heavy material that is easy to wash .
Nice snaps!
Reviewer: Richard Griffin (Imbler, OR)
Shop coat fit good, snaps up nice and I like the color and the side entry pockets. Thanks for a nice product. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a nice shop coat reasonably priced.
Great quality material!
Reviewer: Amy Lynch (Slinger, WI)
This shop coat is the perfect coat for working on our car. Its' material is sturdy and protects your cloths and the absence of buttons or snaps on the outside of the coat protects your project. Lots of pockets for tools too. A great buy!
Very nice value
Reviewer: Eric Antonson (Wausau, WI)
Ordering process was quick and easy, items were priced well and arrived on time.
Great product!
Reviewer: J. Espinoza (Los Fresnos, TX)
I ordered a great work coat for a good price! It arrived within shipping time! Definitely a great buy!
Best Shop Coat
Reviewer: Toxie Bunyard (Raleigh, MS)
the coat holds up to its name and it has been put through some tough situations. if you are looking for a good shop coat, then this is the one you want.
Well made. Good value.
Reviewer: Kip Christensen (Provo, UT)
This is the best shop coat I have found. I wish it were available in khaki--I know several woodworking teachers who use this lab coat and a khaki color would stay looking clean longer when working around sawdust.
Great product
Reviewer: Bill (Ontonagon, MI)
Easy fit, good quality, great for keeping the dirt off shirts and pants. Order larger than you wear normally for a loose fit; example I'm a 44 ordered a 50 for a loose comfortable fit.
You won't find a better shop coat
Reviewer: Kevin M (Fallbrook, CA)
You won't find a better shop coat at any price but when you hit the sale price its like two for one. It has it all, moderate weight twill, breast pocket, two waist pockets, side slots, hidden buttons and rear movement slot. As an Ag Mechanic teacher I wear a shop coat all day during welding classes, wood shops, engines and hydraulics. This coat is perfect in every way.
Reviewer: BOB LIANA (LEBANON, N.J.)
ery good Quality Fabric
Reviewer: Linda (Boise, Id)
I was VERY impressed with the service.....Ordered it and had it within a week....
Too Long
Reviewer: Patty Yaley (Sunnyvale, CA)
The shop coats are really long. Especially for some of the shorter guys. The sizes run a little big as well. A shorter version of this would be great. Otherwise its a great product.
perfect fit, looks great
Reviewer: Warren Boomgaarden (Jamestown, North Dakota)
I used to have some old shop coats in the my shop that I would use but they were starting to look beat up. Since I knew my boss wouldn't buy any new ones for me I went and bought these myself. With having the name patch on it, it makes my shop look a little more professional and have noticed the customers have even made comments about how nice it looks.
Great price and quality
Reviewer: Sharon Whitney (Valencia, California)
Needed new shop coats. All our previous vendors were too expensive. We decided to try an online company. We were very pleased with the price and quality with Automotive Workwear.
Just what I wanted
Reviewer: Richard New (Sandy, Or)
These coats are excellent and just what I was looking for.
Shop coat
Reviewer: Don DeWald (Macy, IN)
I ordered the shop coat online. It came in a few days and it is very good quality. I would highly recommend the coat.
High quality and great price....very surprised!!!
Reviewer: Dennis Cobb (Grand Blanc, Mi)
Great industrial shop coat. Same quality as more expensive coats online...will return.
Great quality and value
Reviewer: Nelson Santos (San Leandro , CA)
working in a metal shop is dirty work and hell on clothes. The KT-30 is definitley up for the job. Nice fit in chest and sleeves. not to baggy where one could get caught on a machine, but comfy enough to wear a double layer underneath. Good quality fabric, front snaps and workmanship. easy care and nice looking
Shop coat works well for my daily use.
Reviewer: A. Brown (Sammamish, WA)
I think the pockets need to been reinforced a little better. I always have to have them sewn after only a few weeks of wear.
Great Quality. Would like in khaki color.
Reviewer: Kip Christensen (Provo, Utah)
I teach woodworking and know several other woodworking teachers who use this shop coat. It is the best shop coat I have found. I would like to see it available in a khaki color which would look better with sawdust.
Great fabric
Reviewer: christy heskett (st. louis, mo)
I was happy with the thickness and quality of the fabric. I've paid more for much less.
Good Shop Coat
Reviewer: Glenn Lee (everett, wa)
Just what I expected. A good shop coat.
Shop Coat
Reviewer: Betty Dodd (Dayton, OH)
The quality of this shop coat was good ,sleeve length was good , the fabric felt & looks like it would wash & hold up well , the only draw back was , it was just way too small thru the shoulder area , maybe a larger size would have worked .
Great value and quality
Reviewer: D. Garcia (Chino Hills, CA)
I don't beleive that the KT30 can be beat any where for the price.

Greatest shop coat
Reviewer: Phil (Rogersville, Tn)
Very pleased with the shop coat. My other coat had buttons that would pop off if it got snagged on something while I was working on a machine. This one has snaps. Now, just snap it closed after a snag. Heavy duty material. It's holding up very well.
Nice coat
Reviewer: Dave Richards (Gillette, NJ)
This is a great shop coat, it's a little baggy but overall mice. Does the job.
Excellent work coat
Reviewer: Brian (Leesville, LA)
This was my first order from AW and they now have me a customer. I was very surprised when I received the update, they notified me immediately that the item was not in stock and when they expected to ship the work coats. The coats are very durable and and I will be ordering more.
Nice shop coat

Home Stretch homebuyer workshop slated in Brainerd
Home Stretch, a first-time homebuyer workshop that takes participants through the entire home buying process, will be offered from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 10, at Central Lakes College in Brainerd.
Participants will learn about qualifying for a mortgage, financing a home, credit, real estate, the closing process, basic home maintenance and affordable mortgage products that may be available to first-time homebuyers.
Some affordable mortgage products, government loans, and down payment and closing cost assistance programs may require a buyer to receive a Home Stretch certificate.
Homebuyer education is also offered as an online course. "Framework" is a new online tool to prepare people for successful homeownership. Framework will provide the facts needed to become a knowledgeable buyer. Many lenders have approved Framework to meet homebuyer education requirements.
The Central Minnesota Housing Partnership, a nonprofit organization providing affordable housing services to the central region of Minnesota, coordinates the Home Stretch workshop. Participants will receive a completion certificate at the end of the workshop.
There is a $30 fee per household to participate in Home Stretch, and registration is required. To register for the online Framework course or the Home Stretch workshop, contact Kelly at 320-258-0681. Visit www.cmhp.net for more information.
Pre-purchase counseling is also available by appointment and is strongly recommended prior to taking Home Stretch. This is a free service to anyone who wants to speak with a certified homeownership counselor about their financial situation prior to buying a home.

I know the answer is here somewhere - just having difficulty locating.
I have heard/seen that by forcing the bees to enter the hive thru a particular screen size (#4?) helps the guard bees to better defend, and that the robbers are reluctant to enter. This is NOT an entrance reducer, per se, in that the entire entrance is open - just covered with this screen large enough to let one bee pass thru each screen hole.
Is #4 the right size, and does this method seem to help?

Matilija Coalition founder Paul Jenkin's quest to tear down a dam began not on a river, but on the beach at Surfer's Point in Ventura, California, where ocean waves threatened to devour a new bike path, and talk of building a half-mile seawall to protect it was growing louder.
As a surfer, Paul had seen how seawalls can accelerate the erosion of beaches and ruin surf breaks. And as an ocean engineer and member of the Surfrider Foundation, he knew that rivers naturally transported cobble and sand to the beach helping to protect such things as bike paths. Paul was certain that pouring a wall of concrete at this popular surf spot was not the answer, but that taking down a different wall just might do the trick.
The other wall was Matilija Dam, which is tucked away in a narrow canyon near Ojai, California, some 16 miles inland from Surfer's Point. It was completed in 1948 at a cost of $2 million to store water for the Ojai Valley and to prevent flooding on the Ventura River, which empties into the ocean near Surfer's Point. Some 200 feet high and 620 feet wide, Matilija is a massive barrier that not only keeps sand from the beach, but has also been blocking steelhead trout from their historic spawning grounds for more than 60 years, hastening the decline of this popular game fish to an estimated 25 today. The dam is deemed unsafe, its concrete is crumbling, and its reservoir is filled almost entirely with silt, rock and debris.
"It seemed like a no-brainer at the time," Paul said. "There was an obsolete dam, built on an earthquake fault that was a liability to its owners [Ventura County], trapping millions of cubic yards of sediment that should have been building the beaches and protecting the coast."
That was 18 years ago. The bike path was rerouted, but the dam still stands, as its many stakeholders grapple with the technical and political nuances of taking it down without choking downstream areas with silt, while still getting sand on the beach. Coming up with the estimated $200 million to do so is another thing altogether.

Here's a look at our remaining schedule, as well as Dallas', to help compare our roads and determine how many more games we need to win.
Let's look at Dallas' schedule first. They're currently 4-5. It's hard to predict Dallas, but they probably won't beat the Steelers, or the Saints. They'll probably split with the Redskins, and they may lose 1 more, maybe to the Bengals. So they may finish 8-8, or 7-9.
Can we win 2-3 more games to lock up the division? 9-7 will undoubtedly win this division, but 8-8 might too.

Rydah is basically a slang word for Rider. It sounds much more dope and is usually used by rappers and gangsters. The word is said to originated from the West Coast of the United States, somewhere along the Bay Area.
He is a yellow bus Rydah.
by Rydah2 December 18, 2009
Rydah is a term used for an uneducated, racist person. Usually found in the KC, MO area of the U.S. An individual warranting this name will probably be accompanied by violent behavior, ebonics and poor fashion sense.

Pine River churches to stage 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever'
Cast members from four Pine River churches will perform "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" at 6:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Dec. 14 and 15, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 16, at The Warehouse in Pine River.
Cast members are from Riverview Church, First Lutheran Church, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church and Faith Assembly of God Church.
Suggested donation for tickets is $2 for adults and $1 for children. Proceeds will go to the Community Compassion Fund.
The play is based on the book of the same title by Barbara Robinson. It was made into a movie in the 1980s starring Loretta Swit.
Last year, Riverview Church parishioners performed the play, setting the production in the 1950s. This year, Riverview encouraged other area churches to participate, and the production will be set in the 1980s.

Anzac Diversity
Case studies exploring the ethnic diversity of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF)
Walter Christopher Saunders
Case study Chris Saunders' story gives insight into the service of one Indigenous Australian family over three conflicts.
William "Billy" Sing
Case study Billy Sing rushed to sign up in 1914 and built a fearsome reputation as "the crack sniper of the ANZACs".
Emaniol Salikis
Case study Emaniol was born in Samos, Greece, and immigrated to Australia as a young man before serving with the AIF.
August 2014 will mark 100 years since the beginning of the First World War. This war, known at the time as the "war to end all wars", still stands as a significant and poignant event in Australia's military history.
Approximately 420,000 Australians enlisted in the AIF during the First World War, including nurses, Indigenous Australians, and Australians with British, Asian, Greek and Northern European heritage. For some, enlisting was difficult. The introduction of the Commonwealth Defence Act in 1909 excluded any person not "substantially of European descent" from enlisting in the First World War. The Act was in line with the White Australia Policy, which aimed to ensure that Australia retained its white colonial British character. Regardless of these policies, many Australians of Asian descent (including close to 200 Chinese migrants or their children who had created a new home in Australia) as well as over 1,300 of Australia's Indigenous population, are known to have enlisted.
The introduction of the Commonwealth Defence Act in 1909 excluded any person not "substantially of European descent" from enlisting in the First World War.
For Indigenous Australians, joining the AIF gave a sense of equality they had never experienced in civilian life. The army provided the opportunity for training, education, travel and pay, and for those in the field, a chance to form new friendships regardless of background or skin colour.
Many immigrants, who had come to Australia in the late 19th century during the Gold Rush and subsequent industrial developments, signed up as a way of showing loyalty to a new Australian homeland.
During the war, over 61,000 Australians lost their lives and more than 156,000 were wounded. Countless others demonstrated bravery and were awarded medals for their exemplary service.
The story of the Anzacs, and indeed all Australians who served in the First World War, is tied together by the aspirational qualities of loyalty, comradeship, devotion, audacity, patriotism, and independence that united so many of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF), as well as their shared goals and experience of war - whatever their origins, backgrounds or beliefs.
After the war, many friendships endured, but some Indigenous and ethnic Australians returned home to the same racism and mistreatment they had encountered before the war.
In telling the diverse stories of Australians who served in the First World War, the Anzac Diversity project aims to encourage students to examine the Anzac story from a fresh perspective; explore the cultural and ethnic diversity of the members of the AIF; challenge some traditional understandings of who the Anzacs were; and analyse the qualities attributed to the Anzacs as well as how they have become an aspirational model in the national psyche.
For more information on the diverse stories of Australians who served in the First World War, go to:
- "Indigenous Australians at War" at AIATSIS online
- Indigenous Histories' First World War archive
- "Forgotten heroes: Chinese Australians in the First Australian Imperial Force 1914–20" by Alastair Kennedy
- Russian Anzacs by Elena Govor
Links to the Australian curriculum: History
The content of these stories and classroom activities will provide opportunities to develop historical understanding through:
Key concepts
Sources and evidence, continuity and change, cause and effect, perspectives, empathy and significance, and contestability.
Cross-curriculum priorities
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures, Asia and Australia's engagement with Asia.
General capabilities
Literacy, IT competence, critical and creative thinking, intercultural understanding.
While History is the main focus of the learning activities attached to these stories, they also have relevance to other curriculum areas, including English, Science, the Arts, and Civics and Citizenship.
Learning method
This resource adopts an inquiry learning approach, with students encouraged to examine a range of information and source material. After research, analysis, and discussion, students can construct their own understandings, and draw conclusions about the contribution of Australians from a variety of backgrounds during the First World War.
A full list of resources used in the research and writing of these case studies is available here.

Community, students cheer new ETSU football coach
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - It's a good day to be a Buccaneer -- the community and students are cheering about the announcement of a football coach.
We headed to ETSU Friday to find out more about the growing excitement as the Bucs get back in action on the gridiron.
Poor Richard's Campus has its roots close to campus and employees have been playing a waiting game. Just who exactly will coach ETSU football?
"Everybody has been in stitches trying to figure out who it's going to be. It's time to get going, all we need now is them to announce when we're going to build a stadium," said owner Daniel Shell.
On campus, students already have suggestions on which players should make it to the field. "People are going to come out and see their local boys play and they're going to be excited about it," said student Tiffany Buckles.
Kick-off isn't until 2015 but the college is already recruiting fans with shirts and souvenirs. We met April Baxter in the campus store picking up blue and gold football gear. "I'm getting Mamaw a shirt, my brother a shirt, my son a shirt, me a shirt," she said.
While you can't hear the roar of a crowd just yet, some students say they're excited to cheer and watch this team grow. "I love high school football so I know I'm going to like college football," said student Alexis Powers.
Some fans tell us they're already planning to buy season tickets for ETSU football games once they become available.

I got this idea from a book by Jacox and am very pleased with the results. Starting with the standard cowhide gloves - I prefer the non-ventilated ones - slit the stitching on the thumb, index and middle fingers back to the first joint. Just these three joints will give you almost complete tactile freedom. The bees will crawl across the leather, then across your bare finger and back onto the leather without giving any indication they noticed the difference. But they WILL place lots of stingers in the flesh side of the leather which is exposed!
The details: At first, only slit half way because your finger will stick out more than you expect. Turn the now-loose inside leather flap back inside to partially close the hole around the finger; it is imperative that the bees do not have room to crawl in. The top flap must also help close the hole and this is harder to describe. Pinch the flap crosswise in the middle of its length with pliers or vicegrips. This will cause the edges to curl downward. After you get it worked out just right, mark it, open it up, apply contact cement and then repinch to secure it. Pay no attention to how funny it looks. You may have to sew the edges with a stitch awl to make it stay where you want it. In those very rare cases where bees may attack your bare skin, spray the fingers with OFF and they'll leave you alone. Dan
