K-1 Japan 65kgs Tournament Results
- Published in K-1
Last night the K-1 Japan 65kgs tournament took place including names like Yuta Kubo, Hiroya, and Michael "Tomahawk" Thompson. Overall I really enjoyed the fights, they all seemed well matched, with every fighter bringing their own unique style to the ring making the fights exciting.
We saw a wicked spinning back fist KO at the hands of Takeru in a fight that I thought he was losing. The return of Hiroya was great but once again he always seems to come up a bit short. There were two fighters that really stood out for me though, of course the tournament winner, southpaw from Thailand Kaew Fairtex, with his lightning fast head kicks, his huge upset over Kubo, and his ability to avoid punches even with the ref harassing him about clinching. Also we found out his father had passed away a week ago, he dedicated his win to him. It seemed to me that Fairtex hurt his left shin in his first fight, since he threw it a lot less in the 2nd and 3rd plus it all bandaged up, didn't seem to effect his performance too much though. Secondly a British fighter named Kerrith Bhella, I personally hadn't seen him fight before, and I half expected K-1 to give Yuya someone he could beat up in Japan. I was very wrong, Bhella's technique was some of the best I have seen, tight hands, fast powerful jab and combos followed by leg kicks, and an almost flawless defense. I really hope we get to see more of him after his defeat of Yamamoto last night.

Caltrans: West Shore roadwork to last 5 construction seasons
April 9, 2013
TAHOE CITY, Calif. — An effort to help protect lake water quality combined with roadway improvements along Highway 89 on Lake Tahoe's West Shore is expected to take a total of five construction seasons to complete.
The projects, a collaboration between Caltrans and Southwest Gas from Tahoma to Tahoe City, started last year and will go until October 2016, according to a Caltrans press release.
Work on the project was set to resume this week, weather permitting. Southwest Gas and its contractors will be relocating and replacing natural gas lines from Pine Street in Tahoma to Timberland Lane in Tahoe City this year, while Caltrans will install nine sand vaults between the Placer County line and Madden Creek.
Motorists can expect one-way traffic controls at various locations on Highway 89, day and night, through the construction areas, with up to 20-minute delays. There will be no lane closures on weekends and holidays.
Southwest Gas work will continue and finish in 2014, while Caltrans road improvements will begin that spring. Road improvements include: highway resurfacing; road realignment; widening of shoulders; lengthening existing left turn pockets and continuous left turn lanes; and new left turn lanes at Gray Avenue, Moana Circle, McKinney Rubicon Springs Road, Ward Avenue, Sunnyside Lane, Olympic Drive (north), Granlibakken Road, and an entrance to the Tahoe City Transit Center at 64 acres.
This is a $34 million project and is funded by federal stormwater improvement money, according to Caltrans.
Additional information on this and other Caltrans projects in the Tahoe Basin can be found at http://www.TahoeRoads.com. For updates on Southwest Gas work, go to http://www.swgasliving.com/construction or call 1-800-835-6260.

I have exclusively made up my nucs with cells established on deep frames via the MDA splitter method or taking the ones with swarm cells - 2 frames of brood, a frame of honey and 2 more frames.
Tomorrow evening I am going to pick up 6 cells that someone had grafted, and in my quest for success I would like some advice.
Today I will set up 6 nucs as described above, and leave them queenless for 24hours, but I have three questions.
1) In my normal method there are never any eggs to interfere in the mating nucs from the hive of origin because the queen has been removed for long enough. When establishing nucs with cells do you worry about this and rogue queen cells , why or why not?
2) I had read that to aid in the bees accepting an unrelated cell it was useful to add some syrup to the nuc just before you add the cell, or at the same time. Do people do this routinely, or only in the off-season? Right now we are starting a flow and there will be plenty of nectar/honey in the nucs.
3) Any further tips?

An indoor range I used to shoot at had a number of Taurus guns on the rental shelf that had thousands of rounds through them. Taurus has been in business a long time and has really stepped up their game. Though I don't own one I've shot them. I don't like the triggers on a lot of their guns as much as other manufacturers, but I haven't had any functional problems with those I've shot.

Never doubted Bradshaw.
this thread needs to be stickied for all of time.
Bradshaw 200 yard game.....lol.....I love when dummies prematurely make these threads.....
i dont think anyone would be upset that ahmad is playing great today but lets also be honest here this is the hardest he has run in like two years
Bradshaw just called me. He said to tell the OP "Kiss the Super Bowl rings. 200 yards b**ch!!"
Brown would have ran for 1,000 yards and scored 15 TD's today. Bradshaw stinks!

Pro-Obama groups launch $4 million ad campaign targeting Latinos
posted at 12:01 pm on June 11, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
The SEIU (one of the country's largest unions) and Priorities USA (the super PAC run by ex-White House official Bill Burton) have teamed up to the tune of $4 million, putting together an ad that focuses on Mitt Romney's campaign-trail gaffes to demonstrate how ostensibly out-of-touch Romney is with the concerns of Latino voters. The "Mitt Romney is his own words" commercial will air on tv and radio in Colorado, Nevada, and Florida (battleground states with hefty Hispanic populations):
"This ad is part of a broader effort to ensure Latino voters know the stakes in this election and who has been on the side of Latino Families and who will continue to stand with them in the coming years," said SEIU National Political Director Brandon Davis in a statement. "The contrast could not be more clear." …
"It's easy for him to say that since he doesn't have the same necessities as us," says a Latino man in Spanish. "When you are really out of work, you are worried, you don't want to laugh or make fun of anybody. …
The ad comes as Democrats work to solidify their lead with Hispanic voters, the fastest growing demographic in the American electorate. In a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released late last month, 61 percent of Hispanic voters said they would vote for Obama, while just 27 percent backed Romney. More Hispanic voters see Romney more negatively than positively, and only 22 percent say they view the Republican Party in a positive light.
Democrats have been lagging way behind in terms of television spending — they were sorely outspent by independent Republican groups in early June, with pro-GOP groups spending about $37 million on presidential-race tv ads while pro-Dem groups only spent $11 million. And as spittin' mad as liberals and unions were about all of that 'sketchy money' that went into the Wisconsin race, they're realizing that they should probably start stepping up their game right about now.
Team Romney hasn't been silent about Hispanics — last week in Texas, he promised to be a president for "all Americans, Hispanic and otherwise" — and his camp has more plans in the works to appeal to the fast-growing electoral group, including hashing it out with Sen. Marco Rubio on his upcoming modified DREAM Act. Good thing, too: right now, Hispanic voters favor President Obama by a more than 2-to-1 margin. Republicans really need to work on communicating the message that prosperity and economic growth are good for all Americans, regardless of race, background, etcetera, and that President Obama's policies are just a bunch of fail.
Spanish-speaking surrogates are being trained, and there are ongoing talks with a major Hispanic advertising firm to work on new television ads that are aimed at Spanish-speakers. …
"I can't deny the fact that he's going to inevitably have to cross the proverbial Jordan of immigration,'' Rodriguez said. "If he wants to step into the Promised Land, he's going to have to address immigration reform.''
Romney is preparing a speech on June 21 before a group of Latino officials in Orlando, an address that some of his Hispanic advisers are pointing to as a potential major turning point. Romney will address that group, the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, one day before President Obama does…

He served in the U.S. Navy, Pacific Theatre, from 1943 to 1945, becoming a "twice" survivor of two ships sunk by enemy action on Jan. 6 and 7, 1945. He was awarded a Purple Heart.
After his Navy years, Glenn returned to Pine River and worked for his parents at their Coast to Coast Hardware Store and in 1948, started the Coast to Coast Gas Company. He purchased Pine Motor Company with partner, William Schuster, in 1951. He bought Schuster's interest in 1953 and continued operation of the company until the early 1980s. Glenn was actively involved with the Minnesota Auto Dealership Association, becoming its president in 1974. Glenn was instrumental in developing the Pine River Golf Course, and, along with several partners, developed many homes and condos surrounding the golf course. He was elected to the Pine River City Council in 1954, 1969 and 1972, and was appointed to the board of Central Lakes College in 1989.

Here are some pics of my primary Mother Queen, MQA and my first queen, raised in 2011 - she just started laying, today.
2011 Queen Photo Gallery
Since it is almost exactly two weeks since the first queen of 2011 emerged and she has just begun laying, my guess is that she found some drones to mate with, otherwise I would expect she would need another week or two before she would begin laying as a drone-layer. I'll need to wait about seven more days to find out for sure.

Sri Lankan journalist missing for 500 days
New York, June 8, 2011--It has been exactly 500 days since Sri Lankan journalist Prageeth Eknelygoda disappeared. He has not been seen by his wife Sandhya Eknelygoda or by the couple's two teenage sons, Sanjay and Harith, since he left for work around 7:30 a.m., on the morning of January 24, 2010. Sandhya filed a complaint with the local police office at 11:30 a.m. the next day but so far no government official has given her information about her husband's whereabouts. His family and colleagues at the Lanka eNews website where he worked have no idea what has become of Eknelygoda.

Hi Everyone
Just thought I would intro myself to all. I am VERY new to the hobby. Just built my first two hives and am ready to set them out in the yard on a new platform. I enjoyed reading all of your comments and hope I can get some help/suggestions from you all in the future. I am just learning about FGMO and think I will go in that direction. Sounds safe and effective. See you soon.

I like Yumeji's Theme from "In the Mood for Love":
I think a lyrical skater could create a beautiful program to "Arrival of the Birds and Transformation" by The Cinematic Orchestra.
Well, first of all, I want to thank everybody for their suggestions: I've been discovering lots of interesting music on this thread.
@skatedreamer I didn't know Sinfonietta was performed by a ballet company, I checked it on youtube and wow!
Let's throw in a whole new bunch of stuff:
I'm happy about the consensus Baroque music elicits on this thread. Apart from Denkova/Stavinski, I don't recall it being used much in skating.
I've found on youtube this rendition of Monteverdi's Orfeo with choreography by Trisha Brown : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb2TURdBeEQ
Then there's this production of Rameau's Les Paladins, in which dancers accompany singers (acting as sort of body doubles) with modern dance/break-dancing moves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frpd5f0VUvo
I got the idea that such blend of operatic music and modern dance is way more accepted (even if far from unanimous) with Baroque operas than with Bel canto ones, but the problem is not the repertoire, rather the approach, and IMHO skating coreographers take their Tosca-Traviata-Turandots straight from the dusty closet of a provincial theatre.
Händel's Rinaldo contains such beautiful arias such as Sibilar gli angui d'Aletto, Lascia ch'io pianga, Vo' far guerra e vincer voglio.
Back to instrumental pieces, I like cello very much, what about György Ligeti's Sonata for solo cello? Maybe it can be suitable for a SP
bartlebooth! thanks for the Orfeo link! love the choreography in that video.
if we're still on baroque music, i would like a medley of songs from Purcell's "the fairy queen"
oh & for modern classical music, selections from Arturo Marquez's Danzon #2 would be amazing for a skating LP/FD
so much variety in one movement! and really upbeat/fun/dancey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msogBMH6QM4
ETA: it's 10 minutes long but you really should listen to the whole thing.
And a load of my favorites that I'm not seeing anywhere - Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, Flashdance soundtrack (which at least was in Fernandez' exhibition), All the Right Moves in ice dance, Vltava (preferably skated to by a Czech competitor), Lady Gaga could be hilarious, Adiemus, Enigma... so many tunes I'd love to see on ice.
As a pair, I can see it working for V/T for next season. Can someone Tweet this at them?
I think Yuna can mayyyybe pull it off (though I don't feel that her aesthetic falls in the "sensual" range). I'm not really sure about Mao bc I feel like she "forces" emotions a lot in her program. There was a point in her Sochi LP where she suddenly had a really dramatic, exaggerated smile on her face and I was like because it looked so comical.
Personally, I'm a huge fan of Asian-themed music and would love to see more skaters use that in their programs (as long as it isn't Memoirs of a Geisha or Butterfly Lovers). The following songs would be incredible to skate to.
House of Flying Daggers, Lovers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jr52dyCUqE
Hero, For the World - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCkbfapn-I4
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n16h16jtGw
It makes one realize how narrow a view many skating folk (coaches, choreographers, the skaters themselves) have of music, especially of classical music--which, after all, is a 500-year-old treasure chest of possibilities. I expect more from the coaches and choreographers than from the skaters themselves, who are very young and likely haven't had a chance to be exposed to the vast repertoire of any musical style, even popular music. (There are exceptions, of course, especially skaters who also study music.) But the adults in the picture should really explore a bit more. I think Sandra Bezic and Lori Nichol used to find a lot of innovative stuff, though Lori has eased up in recent years, and Marina Zoueva seems to find great off-the-beaten-track pieces as well. I always hope for more in the future.
I do agree that Yuna and Mao have more limited range in their programs, and they need to strike the *right* mode for Yuna to pull it off.
The more I think about it, the better it would suit a pair. If Max and Tania did it, and given the film is so sensual, their connection on- and off the ice would melt the rink.
Agreed, no more Geisha or Butterfly Lovers, they're overused now.

Our hosts Nicola & Mario are very helpfull; you can reach them easily if you want or ask anything, we didn't even need it because everything was perfect.The appartment looks to the garden backyard ,silent & goodwiev, but it is in the center also ,you can reach everywhere by walking. The appartment is clean & well decorated, the kitchen is big, if there were a kettle & microwave it would be better for long term visitors maybe..
Sympathetic apartment and host. Quiet despite lively Altstadtquartier.Beste Location: small shops, bars, cafes, bus lines, 10 minute walk to the city center.
Italy at its best.

Living in the beautiful bologna! I spent a fantastic week I was not well, but well owners are wonderful people recommend the apartment only a few steps from the center and in an area full of bars definitely will return and will book 'the same apartment. Take this opportunity to greet the owners and thank them again. At the next vvacanza Regards Marco
Soggiorno nella magnifica bologna! Ho trascorso una settimana fantastica mi sono trovato non bene ma benissimo i proprietari sono delle persone splendide consiglio l'appartamento a tutti a pochi passi dal centro e in una zona ricca di locali sicuramente ci ritornerò e prenotero' lo stesso appartamento . Approfitto per salutare i proprietari e ringraziarli ancora . Alla prossima vvacanza saluti Marco
We enjoyed our stay in Bologna from 13 to 16 september 2013 in this nice, cosy and very well equiped appartment. The appartment is close to the old city centre (10 min. walking distance) in a quite neighbourhood, with some nice small restaurants/trattoria around.
(only on saturday evening/night we had some music playing around the corner?)
Almost next door we could use a inside parkingplace (15€/day), kindly arranged by Nicola.
Nicola is a very friendly host who took good care of us, with a bottle of fruitjuice and water already in the fridge when we arrived.
We had a very good time here and would recommend this appartment to other families wanting to visit Bologna.
Ludo, Sonja & Kasper
Spacious and lovely appartment, just around the corner of the charming street Via del Pratello with many restaurants and bars. Supermarket and small shops nearby. It's a short (10 to 15 minute) walk to the city center, University district and other places to see. Also close to other beautiful cities to visit, like Ravenna and Ferrara. The host is kind and helpful. My mother and I stayed here for one week and had a great time in Bologna. Thanks Nicola and Mario! :-)
the appartment is good. Nice room, kitchen and bathroom. It was very hot during our stay in Bologna so the airco was really nice to have. Bologna is beautiful with musea and historical places.
Restaurants en supermarkets and a lot of other shops in the neighbourhood of the appartment. The centre of the city is 15 minutes walk and from the train station it is 20 minutes. By bus it goes faster. They go often.
We only had problems to get back a part of the rent. Because of a rebooking, we stayed 6 nights instead of 7 and had to pay 100 euro more. And nor Wimdu or the host wanted to pay it back. So make very good appointments and look very well how much you have to pay for your stay. One week is less than 6 nights. Over all we had a great holiday in this appartment.
Agnes and Fred
Habe doch meine Bewertung bereits geschickt. Haben Sie diese nicht erhalten? Freundliche Grüsse
M. Pfeiffer
Bolonia y el apartamento inmejorables! Nicola fue muy amable con nosotros aconsejándonos sobre la ciudad, restaurantes… El apartamento és muy amplio, limpio y bien equipado (lavaplatos, lavadora, secador…). Aunque está en una zona animada con bares y restaurantes no oímos ningún tipo de ruido. Repetiremos seguro!!
My friend and I stayed 3 nights in this spacious and well-equipped apartment. Although situated in an area with many restaurants and bars, it was every bit as quiet as guests say in all the reviews. The only thing we would have changed about the apartment was the beds. They were extremely soft and the springs were too flexible and squeaky. But besides that, it was a great apartment for our stay in Bologna. Nicola was a very friendly and helpful host - when we arrived, he offered us coffee and took time to tell us about the city. He also arranged for a taxi to drive us to the airport. The prize for the taxi was around 16 euros and took about 20 minutes (on a Saturday afternoon), so if you're not a fan of going by bus (which costs 6 euro per person), this is a good and comfortable alternative.

As a registered member, you'll be able to:
Hello. I noticed that Pioneer has their new 2012 lineup of DVD receivers coming soon, and from what I've read, the AVH-P8400DVD sounds fantastic! I currently have the AVH-P3100DVD, which works perfectly fine, but the new features on the 8400 make it worth upgrading in my opinion (new MixTrax feature, dramatic increase in resolution on the 7" screen, 2 rear USB inputs, Pandora, & detachable faceplate). I can't wait to see if the 2 rear USB ports allow you to connect 2 Ipods simultaneously (for those with extensive music / video libraries)...
Has anyone heard anything negative about this new receiver? Based on the price, I just want to make sure everything I've heard so far makes it worth the upgrade.
Thanks in advance...
I have spoken with Pioneers rep on Facebook, and he assured me that it will handle two different iPods or iPhones what ever combination. Proved you buy the correct cables. What port in the rgb port on it?
AVH-P8400BH, not AVH-P8400DVD - assuming I'm looking at the correct unit.
The units aren't supposed to ship until next month, and I don't think Crutchfield is taking pre-orders yet, so if you hear anything negative now, that would be a very bad sign.

I'm not an iPod person, but the documentation clearly says it will support one iPod and one USB hard drive and hard drives are cheap. Worst case you could transfer the second iPod's files to a USB hard drive and access them that way.
On USB (not iPod) you seem to be limited to 1500 Folders and 15,000 files, which is pretty low for a modern receiver. (Actually, it's not that bad - I think I have around 2500 files on my USB drive and my deck only supports 2000 Folders and 20,000 Files, but it's also almost 2 years old now.)
The only other drawback I see is that there are only 112 display colors available. That's not terrible, but my deck has 32,000 and I couldn't EXACTLY match my Ford dash illumination (but I'm VERY close).
The four other negatives:
BTW - I like the unit, I tend to nit-pick, so I don't think there would ever be a unit that I couldn't find something that I wanted changed.
Hope This Helps!!!
Anyone else have suggestions?
2002 Ford Focus JVC KD-A815 Sony CDX-GT410u Sony XT-100HD HD Tuner Stock speakers, no amp, no subs
Yes...AVH-P8400BH is the correct model number...sorry about that...
Thanks for the clarification on the use of the 2 rear USB ports. Based on its USB file limits, that will definitely help when sorting out my files...
I'm also curious to see if Pioneer improved on the hands-free Bluetooth feature. I heard last year's models were terrible with this...
To further clarify - I'm not at all sure that the deck doesn't in fact support two iPods with the appropriate cables.
Most people don't do that and the deck and the manual don't specify one way or the other - and actually, I wouldn't expect tech support to know either.
OTOH - my JVC has two USB ports and they act independently - i.e. I can switch between ports and the deck remembers where it stopped playing. Assuming the Pioneer behaves similarly, I would assume you could very likely connect two iPods to it, but I don't know for sure.
I scanned the manual and found it a bit disappointing. It doesn't say anything about the iPod only working with Port 1 or only with Port 2 - which is a good sign, but if you look on Page 26, it is clearly only showing the 7400 and only shows one USB cable and it and the RCA's are in the incorrect location ....
I took a more detailed look at the manual in the PDF file, and it is not correct manual for the new AVH-P8400BH. The first clue was that the manual was only 28 pages. My AVH-P3100DVD manual is about 3 times larger, so I can only imagine the encyclopedia that will come with the new 8400...
It's actually the manual for the DEH-P7400 & DEH-P8400 models...which explains why the information is so unclear.
Guess I'll just have to wait until the unit comes out next month to find out for sure...
calexan1It's actually the manual for the DEH-P7400 & DEH-P8400 models...which explains why the information is so unclear.
Good catch - the link came directly from the AVH-P8400BH product page, though.
We have not had one of these units to test yet. Previous receivers that has two USB inputs and would let you connect an iPod to both treated each iPod as a different source. We will be happy to post back once we have tested one of these models.
any time frame on the delivery of these yet? I see they have some of the new decks out (on crutchfield)
Hopefully soon!
Ok...I managed to get my hands on Pioneer's 2012 Car Audio catalog, and it has more information than their website regarding Ipod connectivity with the 2 rear USB inputs on the AVH-P8400BH:
The CD-IU201S cable has a USB connector and an RGB connector allowing the cable to connect to one of the rear USB inputs and the only RGB input. Anyone that has an IPhone4 (or more recent) or 4th Generation Ipod Touch will need to buy this cable to use the Advanced APP features on the receiver.
The CD-IU201V cable has a USB connector and an AUX connector allowing the cable to connect to the other rear USB input and the only AUX input. You can use this cable with any Ipod, and you appear to have limited APP abilities with an earlier generation Ipod Touch.
I am still unsure if the unit will still recognize 2 Ipods using the different cables, but it could be possible. I personally do not have an IPhone, and my Ipod Touch is 2nd Generation, so I'll be getting the CD-IU201V cable and using a portable hard drive with the other USB input.
Another FYI...regarding album artwork, it looks like the new MIXTRAX will display your album artwork without the purchase of either of these Ipod cables. I downloaded the MIXTRAX software ahead of time to analyze my music library, and the MIXTRAX program displays album artwork when you select any song that it has analyzed. This (SHOULD) mean that the MIXTRAX feature on the AVH-P8400BH would recognize any music with album artwork stored on a USB drive...not sure if album artwork from a USB drive will display without using MIXTRAX on the receiver...
Obviously I'm as anxious as anyone else for this receiver to become available...hope this info helps until it arrives...
calexan1not sure if album artwork from a USB drive will display without using MIXTRAX on the receiver...
I would expect that to work, as long as the artwork is embedded in the file. I've learned it's not safe to take things like that for granted, though.
Where we're you about to find the 2012 catalog?
At a local car audio company in Columbus, Ohio. They had done my current car audio setup, so I was checking with them to see if they had gotten them to see if they had gotten any of the new 2012 Pioneer receivers. They had a stack of the 2012 Pioneer Dealer Guides, and they let me have one...
Hmmmm. I've been trying to find one online but haven't had any luck.
Pioneer now has the manual posted on their website for the AVH-p8400bh.
Because my name is on the business, I work hard to make sure you get the best possible shopping experience. I look forward to hearing your comments .

I have a large data set in which the variable names reflect the subject and metric of a specific test, e.g., a_alg1_ss is the "Algebra 1 Scale Score."
All of the variable names have a common structure: a prefix of a_, a test identifier string, and a suffix of _[metric of test, e.g., al for achievement level or ss for scale score].
The current variable labels reflect the test metric, but not the test identifier.
Here is a subset of the variables:
. describe a_alg1_ss a_alg1_al a_alg1rt1_ss a_alg1rt1_al
storage display value
variable name type format label variable label
a_alg1_ss int %8.0g Scalescore
a_alg1_al byte %8.0g Achievement Level
a_alg1rt1_ss int %8.0g Scalescore
a_alg1rt1_al byte %8.0g Achievement Level
I am trying to write syntax that will extract the test identifier from the variable name and insert it into the variable label. I would like to wind up with:
variable name variable label
a_alg1_ss alg1 Scalescore
a_alg1_al alg1 Achievement Level
a_alg1rt1_ss alg1rt Scalescore
a_alg1rt1_al alg1rt Achievement Level

Hey guys,
Since this season is over for the Giants, I have been trying to find ways to fill the football void in my life.
I found this game online called Goal Line Blitz 2 (Apparently there was a 1). Basically, think Tecmo Bowl in terms of graphics. It seems pretty interesting so far.

I have found most of the small cell research that is done very frustrating. The researchers never seem to have any understanding of the concept and don't apply it appropriately and make erroneous assumptions about the future generations without any research to back it up.
HereÂs some research, not all of it useless, but there are so many assumption. For instance the statement that ÂAfricanized bees usually have a post-capping period 20 hrs shorter than European bees (Rosenkranz 1999)Â Is comparing natural sized Afracanized bees on natural sized cells in a tropical climate to unnaturally enlarged European bees on unnaturally enlarged comb in a non-tropical climate. Then when someone finally gets around to comparing unnaturally enlarged European bees in a tropical climate to natural sized Africanized bees in a tropical climate there is only 8 hrs difference. My question, and I think the only relevant question, is what is the difference if both are natural sized bees on natural sized comb in the same climate?
The answer to the questions are not in comparing apples to oranges but apples to apples.
HereÂs some more useless research:
http://www.algonet.se/~beeman/research/cell.htm http://www.bee-l.com/biobeefiles/pav/scstudy.htm
In both of these they took enlarged European bees and offered them various sized foundation (made into kind of a crazy quilt) and then after the comb was capped they opened it and counted mites. From everything anyone knows about mites and any theory put forth by people using small cell this would be expected to fail on all levels.
1. Enlarged honey bees are not going to properly draw small cell comb.
2. The only size being purported by anyone as being useful was thrown out of the study anyway.
3. Even if you used naturally sized bees to do this experiment (which would be the only correct way to do this based on the theory of small cell research so far) IÂm not nearly so interested if there are mites in the cells as I am whether or not they can reproduce. It is possible that they wonÂt reproduce because they canÂt find each other or because the amount of time to reproduce is shortened in small cells. They did not even attempt to find the answer to this question.
I have also found research on what is the natural size of European honey bee worker comb and invariably they will take enlarged bees, let them build comb without foundation, measure it and announce that the natural size is about 5.1mm or 5.2mm. Yes! The first generation! What about the next one?
Do these people live in a vacumn? The research on honey bee size and cell size has been done and documented since the late 1800's. Do they bother to understand a theory before they try to disprove it?
I wish I could understand what they are thinking.
I also found a research project, which I'm having trouble finding again, where they proved that it DID interfere with the mites reproducing, but the researchers speculated (not a very scientifc thing to do in your conclusion) that subsequent generations on small cell would have smaller larvae and therfore the effect would only be temporary. Why? The genetics hasn't changed. I think they are mistakenly thinking that evolution takes place in one or two or five generations. Since no one has ever observed evolution happening in thousands of generations, this is an absurd assumption. IF evolution occures at all, it happens over millions of generations.
Thanks for letting me vent my frustration.

Christmas Bird Count fun!
Friday, December 21, 2012
While many people are celebrating the Winter Solistice...and others are "celebrating" the end of the world (if you believe the Mayans)...I'm thinking back to the excellent time I had on Wednesday taking part in the Christmas Bird Count on the Refuge!
The 113th year of the Audubon Christmas Bird Count is in full swing all around the country, and this past wednesday our friends from Wasatch Audubon ( www.wasatchaudubon.org ) were here to help us count the birds on several portions of the Refuge. This fun and easy..and now free ... citizen science project is a great way to get outdoors during the holiday season and enjoy the birds and the beauties of nature.
Wednesday was a brisk and chilly morning, leaving the majority of Refuge wetlands frozen over and waterfowl numbers a little lower than in past years...but there were still small pockets of ducks, geese and swans. Rough-legged hawks and Northern harriers were numerous and enjoying the weather. And along with many of the species that we expected to find on the Refuge during the count...were a few that were unexpected. First thing in the morning, at our feeder station near the Wildlife Education Center, we had a lovely little Common Redpoll. It is believed this is a first record for the Refuge. These little irruptive finches (as well as Evening grosbeaks and Red crossbills) are being seen all across Utah this year.
A few other highlights from the count this year: a Prairie falcon, a Thayer's gull, and THREE owl species...including a Great horned owl, a Barn owl and several Short-eared owls!
Christmas Bird Counts continue across the country through the first week in January - so if you're looking for something fun to do after all the food is eaten and gifts have been opened - contact your local Audubon chapter and join in the count!
Happy Birding and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
- Jason

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by emason, Jan 31, 2010.
Calling all fans. Season II starts tomorrow night on LOGO.
What, no conversation at all? Watch this with your gays, ladies.
A total and unapologetic bitchfest this season! Love it. RDR1 was sweetened by the collective zenocity of Nina and Bebe, and that made it good. But RDR2 seems to have been casted precisely for the extreme diva fights we're already seeing just two episodes in.
The "Untucked" behind-the-scenes 1/2 hour that follows is genius of Ru.
Even the niceness of Sahara, Pandora Boxx, and Jessica Wild cannot bring this one out of the fabulous gutter ... thank goodness for that. I heart all three of those "girls", and they're a nice balance for the one-liners, sass and of bitchqueens Tyra, Mystique, Raven, and - crap forgot the name of the skinny one with the bad walk who won the first challenge but then looked like Greta Gremlin last night.
Anyway, those girls are the sh*t! Keep up the girls.
Jujubee with her abundant backne and "I am woman" personality needs to go and soon. Tatiana is a yawn and will go soon. But watch out for Sonique. She is ... one ... UGLY ... man. But is a helluva drag queen who can strut it onstage and dish it offstage. Darkhorse alert!
Thank God; I thought I was the only one watching. I haven't seen Untucked - boo on me, I must remember to catch it next time.
Love Sonique, but I want Mystique to win, just to see everyone else self-destruct.
Also, is it wrong of me to think the highlights of every episode have been the vodka commercials with last season's stars? Loved, loved, loved the one with Ongina and last night's with Nina Flowers. Bebe looked like a million bucks in her ad and Shanelle wasn't looking too shabby either. Bring on the commercials.
The "reading" by the judges is even more fabulous this season than last!
I am super disappointed that I don't get LOGO. I watched three episodes in a row of RuPaul's drag race at my sister's a while ago. I loved it! So, all of you who are able, enjoy!
IIRC, MTV repeats the episode the next day. Do you get that?
Here in Philly, the show airs on VH1 Tuesdays at 9pm.
Logo TV online has full episodes! A day later, but it'll do!
Thanks for the correction; my mistake for thinking it was MTV.
Man. Is that Tyra a b-tch! Sleeping on the job?
I've enjoyed both shows. I didn't mind Nicole Page Brooks. I really like Jujubee and Tatianna
Those eyes make Raven look like a villainess in a comic book.
Raven looked like the f*cked up little sister of Marina Zoueva and Natasha from "Rocky & Bullwinkle".
Our Miss Brooks looked like she didn't even care or try in the "Lip Sync for Your Life".
JuJuBee is fab, LOVE her look, but that "high drag" gown was from the Imelda Marcos Collection.
Tyra, ugh. Can't stand the real one, can't stand the fake one. If I were a fellow contestant, that bitch might get slapped at some point.
Ru, Merle, and even Santino are soooo good again. Though Dita's little girly voice threw me a bit.
*Booty Bump!*
LOVED this week's episode! Though I'm so behind thanks to a little sumthin'-sumthin' goin on in Vancouver.....
First, let me just say, as someone who used to be more than a casual observer of the drag universe, those evil queens ripping Mystique apart are shallow, vicious, and most probably covering up their own insecurities by attacking the easy target. Good for Tatianna for calling them out on it. She may be the youngest, but she's proving to be one of the smartest.
Sonique, Morgan, & Raven, drag is a celebration, not dodgeball in grade school. Get OVER your bullshit. Spread LOVE, not hate. Think like RuPaul: Be sassy, not bitchy.
Now that I'm off my soapbox: Pandora!
Hysterical Carol Channing on "Snatch Game 2010"!!! And thank goodness someone did a celebrity born before 1980.
And Alec Mapa was right, Tatianna's Britney was friggin' CREEPY good.
Jessica Wild, oy, imitation might be the sincerest form of flattery, but you couldn't even do a decent RuPaul. And it had nothing to do with the language barrier.
Tyra, you sound like my Uncle Harold.
JuJuBee, listen to Mama Ru and step-it up!
And why the hell was Lisa Rinna there? Were they getting free collagen injections?
My favorites are easily Tatiana (GORGEOUS!), Pandora and even Jessica because she just tries so hard and seems to have a great attitude. I love the way Sonique looks when not in drag, but she's a mean bitch. Raven is also beautiful but obviously has issues. HATE Tyra.
I finally got to catch up with this show. Love all the catty comments in 'untucked'.
Pandora is my fav because I like comedy in my drag, I don't get "pretty drag" at all.
That said, you'll understand why I don't get the judges fascination with Tyra. Besides, I find Raven and Tatiana to be prettier.
The bridal challenge was fun I thought, as was the Disco commercial, and the game show as a hoot. But I don't really get the short challenges. What the hell do gift wrapping and deep fried food identification have to do with drag?
We need to talk about this, as it is now down to 4 'ladies': Raven, Tyra, Tatianna, and Jujubee.
Tyra should've won the challenge where she dressed up her old Drag Mama. The last challenge went to Raven. Raven looks like someone you really wouldn't want to mess with
Poor Pandora Boxx, Jessica Wild, Sonique, Morgan McDaniel GWTW
Now that Pandora's gone I'm done. I like Tati and Juju ok, but Pandora was the best of the bunch and I can't take the inevitable Tyra crowning ahead. I just don't get the Tyra love.
TLo said it best.
Source: http://tomandlorenzo2.blogspot.com/2010/03/rpdr-s2e8-our-grief-is-mountainous.html
Yeah, but Ru Paul also has TALENT and can pull off catty without being bitchy, and Tyra seems to be sorely deficient in those areas.
In this case, I guess I'll be rooting for Raven
Season Finale tonight! May the best wo-man win!
Raven FTW! Love that bitch, despite her odd Tatiana Sucks obsession. She's the least likely winner, though, unless Ru does the black girl white girl rotational thing that Tyra Banks has perfected.
Methinks it'll probably be the Other Tyra, who has always looked great but, really think about it, has done or said nothing particularly memorable or fabulous on the stage or in a challenge. 2nd most likely is that the haven't-won-a-runway-challenge-yet "underdog" Juju wins. I just pray that Juju will forego any backless dresses tonight.
Any and all criteria, though, is pretty much just for shits and grins. Ru probably made up her mind in Week 2 (if not upon viewing the audition vids).
Are people still watching this season? I gave it up after Pandora left.
JuJu is a clear winner for me. I know she hasn't won any of the runway challenges or whatever they are but she has been solid and she looks FLAWLESS. Raven was in the bottom too much and I think kept around for drama. Tyra is not deserving and if she wins it will look like they are attempting to stick with the beautiful black drag queen. This is really REALLY common in the pageant system down here, the pretty black girls win every time. Not saying anyone is racist or that it is wrong but that seems to be what is in lately as far as looks go in the drag world.
Who won?
The one
As the cattiest of the bunch
Hmmm, interesting indeed...they went with the predictable winner. I would have loved to have seen JuJu take it.
I like Juju too. But I really think Raven is a much better (and experienced) performer. Juju's fashion style was kinda strange in a way. IMHO, RuPaul picked Tyra was because of Tyra's homeless situation. Tyra needs a break in real life.
Besides, RuPaul is already hiring Pandora Boxx, Raven and Juju for the RuPaul Drag U. They're all winners!

The UK is home to around 75 Go Clubs, of many types and sizes. It seems likely that most Go played in the UK happens at these clubs—and that most recruitment and organised or collective study happens via them, too, as well, of course, as most tournament organisation and so on. We know where and when these clubs meet, and our website has a comprehensive list which individual
clubs can now update themselves when changes happen. However, there are many other things we'd like to know, to find out if there is more the BGA could do to support clubs, and perhaps also what clubs would be willing to do to promote the BGA. So ... we're asking.
We would appreciate it if anyone who attends a Go Club would be kind enough to answer these questions - just the first section if it's all you have time for, or both sections if you're able. If you want to go into more detail, you can email answers to Council member Jenny Radcliffe. If you attend more than one club, and have the time to answer the questionnaire multiple times, we will be most grateful! The more information we have, the better we can understand the state of British Go.
Please give contact details if you wouldn't mind us contacting you for further ideas, etc..
We would very much appreciate it if
people who have time could answer
these supplementary questions.

The New Zealand women's cricket side have ended their World Cup preparations on the right note following a 13-run victory over world champions England in their final warmup game in Mumbai.
New Zealand, who were thrashed by India by eight wickets in their first warmup game yesterday, posted 223 from their 50 overs and then bowled out England for 210 in the 49th over.
White Ferns captain Suzie Bates said today's victory gives the side some much needed momentum ahead of Friday night's (NZT) opening pool B match against South Africa.
"To come out today and improve and beat England, a very strong side, was really impressive and puts us in a good place heading into the first World Cup game,'' she said.
"If we'd had two loses going into the World Cup we probably would have been a bit more nervous than we needed to but with that momentum, batters scoring some runs and our bowlers executing, we're really confident going into our pool games.''
Sara McGlashan showed she is in good form and struck 88 from 90 balls on top of the half century she scored against India yesterday. McGlashan helped revive the New Zealand innings when they were 117 for 5 and put on 92 runs with Nicola Browne (40).
Opener Lucy Doolan set the tone with 57 and England bowler Danielle Hazell picked apart the New Zealand lower order to finish with 5-41.
Suzie Bates (2-26) and Rachel Candy (2-30) were the pick of the New Zealand bowlers. A 48-run eighth-wicket stand between Jenny Gunn (35) and Tammy Beaumont (22) threatened for a while, but New Zealand removed the last three wickets quickly to complete the win.
In a change to the original World Cup schedule, the White Ferns will now play all of their pool matches in Cuttack rather than Mumbai.
A series of non-violent demonstrations around Pakistan's involvement in the tournament, mainly in Mumbai, has seen the ICC and BCCI take the precautionary measure of shifting all Group B fixtures, plus some super-six and playoff matches, to Cuttack on the east coast of India.
If they advance from the group stages, the White Ferns will play all of their super-six matches in Mumbai.

High Speed Rasputin
Original post made by Paul Losch, a resident of Palo Alto, on Nov 30, 2011
I shudder to think how much money has been wasted and will continue to be wasted studying this thing to death. The clowns at HSR continue to produce, at taxpayers expense, fatuous analysis which is shot down, at taxpayers expense, by reasoned experts who have no skin in the game except their reputations, as objective observers about the HSR proposal in this state. (Nothing wrong with the concept of HSR. But like many things in life, there is a time and a place.)
Let us simplify the complexity here. There are 3 issues around HSR:
1. Spending decision
2. Financing decision
3. Policy decision
I do not want to get into the legalities and technicalities. To my way of thinking, that is just jumping into the mud wrestling match instead of looking at this thing with basic common sense.
I also find tiresome that those who find fault with CA HSR being accused of NIMBYism. There are plenty of things about this flawed concept to kill it without the NIMBY moniker.
So, point by point:
1. Spending decision: is this a worthwhile expenditure? The cost/benefit analysis has been shaky at best, and has gotten worse with each iteration. Change the folks on the HSR management, get rid of the people (such as Kopp and Diridon) who sold this pig in a poke to CA voters in 2008. It still is a pig, and it even lacks lipstick.
The SPENDING JUSTIFACATION IS NOT THERE!
2. Financing decision: to quote a Dan Hicks song from more years ago than I care to admit, "Where's the Money?" Assume for a moment that this was a viable project, which it is not. How will it be paid for? Non-profit organizations are struggling right now as their supporters have had to reduce their support. This proposed new "non-profit" organization has ludicrous and poorly thought through expectations of how it will work economically to persuade taxpayers and private investors to pay for this boondoggle. Dirty little secret? No private investors will materialize, they know what a turkey this thing is.
3. Policy decision: is this what is the best use of funds? No. If the funds were applied to local transit development, where most of the trips take place, it would have substantially more benefit than would an HSR artery between our part of the world and the southland of California.
My suggestion is that the HSR people propose a tax hike on Californians to pay for this directly. That will bring out another irrational group, the "Jarvis" people, and this thing will be put to sleep once and for all.
a resident of Fairmeadow
on Dec 1, 2011 at 8:20 am
While Paul Losch makes perfect sense in this bit of opinion, the problem is that his opinion is not how the process works, or at least it is not working for this project.
California is well known for failures of "big ticket"/capital projects:
CA Large Project Failures:
Web Link
Just this week, there was a problem with a new CalPERS computer system:
Web Link
The venture has had a rocky history, coming in two years late at an estimated $507 million. That's $228 million over the original budget, including $74 million in features added later. CalPERS figures the true cost overruns total $154 million.
The idea that Californians, with a single vote requiring only a 50%+1 approval level, should be able to commit (possibly) hundreds of billions of dollars to a project that has no solid planning in place at the time of the election, provides for virtually no oversight, and might never have any strict oversight, demonstrates another of the many flaws in "democracy", California style.
We elect people locally that claim to be our "political betters"--people who claim to know more about "governing" that ordinary people. And what do we get—a government that is chronically living on money that is being "borrowed" from our children and grandchildren (via bonds), without their consent, or knowledge. A government that is increasingly opaque, often caught up in lies that hide the truths of government mismanagement, and malfeasance.
If we had knowledgeable, and honest, legislators, they would have created the HSR Project with "off-ramps", so that if after sufficient study, it could have been legally, and effectively, terminated.
Unfortunately, we have elected a bunch of people who are more beholden to special interests, than to the people of California. The Legislature simply created a "spigot" for HSR spending, that once turned on, will be very hard to turn off.
California government, at every level, is broken. Maybe the HSR quagmire will be a big enough issue to start the pendulum swinging back towards some point of common sense, and "live within your means" governance. But somehow I doubt it.
a resident of another community
on Dec 1, 2011 at 2:54 pm
I don't want to sound mean here, because I generally understand where Mr. Losch is coming from. But this commentary is just so full of inaccuracies that it doesn't really do any favors to HSR opponents. For example:
Get Kopp and Diridon off the Board? They're already off!
The "nonprofit organization" model doesn't fly? Of course not, which is why it's never been associated with HSR. (There are some people who want a nonprofit to take over Caltrain, and I would agree with Mr. Losch that that's a ludicrous notion).
Reasoned experts with no skin in the game? Do you mean people like Alain Enthoven, who, long before ever attacking the financial structure of HSR, was complaining about how the noise of trains would disrupt dinner parties at his home near the tracks?
There's no money to do this project? AND the money should be spent on local transit? So is there money or not? The fact of the matter is that there is SOME money to start the project, and that money is available ONLY because the project is HSR. Take away HSR, and the money goes away too.
Where's the money? Okay, this actually IS the question. $98 billion project, and $6 billion in the bank. Even though I like HSR, I have a hard time believing that this scheme is really going to work out.
a resident of Stanford
on Dec 2, 2011 at 10:52 am
@ Dr. Doolittle,
Re your "Get Kopp and Diridon off the Board? They're already off!" Did you note the word "still" in Losch's commentary (last sentence of his paragraph 1)? Apparently not. That shows that he realizes they're already gone from the board of directors. Please read more carefully before criticizing. (Caveat: they're probably gone in name only. If you think they're not still involved as promoters and influencers in board deliberations or on behalf of the project, then I've got a used bridge I'd like to sell you cheap.)
Yes, "reasoned experts with no skin in the game," like the folks at UC's "Institute of Transportation Studies" who found the methodology and assumptions of HSR's consultant's predictive ridership model problematic.
Re funds being used for local transit, Losch obviously knows that (a) at present the money to complete this project is not even close to being in hand, and is contending that (b) such money as the state would likely have to come up with in the future to complete HSR would be better spent on local transit improvement. There's NOTHING INCONSISTENT WITH THAT POSITION AT ALL.
Thanks for your comment.

It was almost four years go but Billy Slater still doesn't want to talk about it.
The moment in question, of course, is the brain fade he suffered in the second half of the 2008 World Cup final, when the world's best player decided to take on Manu Vatuvei on the outside from inside his own 20m, got collared, and threw a match-losing hail-Mary inside pass straight into the grateful arms of Benji Marshall.
Slater looked livid as he followed man-of-the-match Darren Lockyer on to the stage to collect his player-of-the-tournament award during the post-match ceremonies.
In the sheds later Slater spurned the media, exited the stadium in indecent haste and didn't make any public comment for weeks about the biggest moment in the biggest game on league's biggest stage.
Even now he brushes aside the question of whether that incident still burns him up with the same precision he demonstrates on those meticulous lines he runs to tear teams to shreds.
"It's a team sport," the 29-year-old Storm, Queensland and Australia fullback says. "I don't look at individual accolades. I try to focus on what I can do for the team and my role in the team."
There's six reporters huddled around Slater's surprising normal, if anything, smallish frame at Townsville's Brothers Leagues Club. In his training kit, Slater doesn't look much like a superstar, much like the supreme athlete many rate as the greatest ever to play the game.
But a superstar he is, so the six reporters have five minutes with him to share. There's no room for a follow up. No, "yeah but Billy, you threw the pass?" The conversation moves on to bitten ears and Craig Bellamy's future at the Storm.
There's a belated second dig. The Herald points out that Slater turns 30 next year. He'll probably only get one more shot at World Cup redemption. The clock is ticking down on one of the great careers. Is he aware of that?
"I'm not aware of it at all. Are you trying to tell me something? Look, I realise I am over the halfway point that is for sure. But how far over it I am not too sure. You never know. You look at a guy like Darren Lockyer who played until his mid 30s, and Petero [Civoniceva], obviously they are exceptions, but I'm not saying I can't be an exception. You never know. Your body will tell you, your mind will tell you when it is time to hang them up. But I haven't got that anywhere in my mind at the moment."
Sorry mate, just saying. So you're still as driven as the first day you laced them up then?
"It's a different feeling to 10 years ago, obviously. When you are a young fella and you haven't experienced anything you just want to play that one first grade game. Now, obviously, (Billy says obviously a lot) I've achieved a lot and I've got a lot of experience, but there are similarities in the drive to improve, that's for sure.
"I still think I can improve. The things I'm good at I want to maintain because they are my strengths, but obviously trying to improve those other little things, I am always trying to do that.
"I suppose the day that the drive leaves me to improve my game, that's the time to hang them up."
Crikey mate, honestly, we're not suggesting that. Although from a Kiwi's perspective, it would be nice.
It won't happen though. Unless injury intervenes, Slater will be in the UK this time next year as part of a Kangaroos team hell-bent on erasing the one significant stain on their record.
With Johnathan Thurston and Cameron Smith - the other two-thirds of the peerless Queensland/Kangaroos spinal triumvirate - also turning 30 next year, a great era for state and country is certainly nearer the end than the start.
Both he and Smith would be in the discussion for the best player going around today, but Thurston is in no doubt as to Slater's place in the pecking order. "I've been lucky enough to play with a lot of good fullbacks but Billy would be number one," he says.
"It's one of the most important positions in the team and he is certainly the best out there. He's done a wonderful job for us over a number of years and he thrives on this kind of football.
"He's certainly a competitor. He very good talk-wise and he has a very smart football brain.
"His communication on attack and defence is probably what sets him apart from the rest.
"He just has that knack of showing up in the right place at the right time."
Except that once, when Marshall had the impeccable timing.
Slater's pretty adept at moving on. The grand final nibble on his ear that cost Bulldogs forward James Graham a 12-match ban is already ancient history.
"It was behind me after the game. Things happen on a rugby league field. There was a lot of emotion.
"I'm a player that has done stuff I've regretted in the past. So I hold no grudges. You shake hands and you move on."
Having triumphed yet again with Queensland, won the Anzac test and taken out the NRL premiership with the Storm, Slater is within a game of notching a blemish-free season.

text: I don't expect a written thank you, though that would be so very nice. But at least a call or e-mail acknowledging the gift and a thank you for thinking of me is not too much to ask. My son lives across country. Last year, I sent my son and his new wife gifts. I never heard from them until I called to be sure they were received. My son said oh yes, we got them, thanks. His wife never bothered to get on the phone and say thank you for hers. This year, I did not shop for them, but sent them $100 in their Christmas card. If I do not get a call on Christmas day with a thank you, then next year, I will just send them a Christmas card like everybody else. I basically did the same for his birthday this last year. Always sent checks and a card. Seldom ever got acknowledgement. So this year I sent a card with no money, and it was a few days late. Believe it or not, he actually called me the day after his birthday wanting to know if I was OK, because I never missed his birthday. I just told him I had been busy. That's always his excuse.

Hello, does anyone know of a local (Canada or USA) distributor of the Apidea mating hive?
I know that Swienty sells it, but they're in Europe.
Hello, does anyone know of a local (Canada or USA) distributor of the Apidea mating hive?
I know that Swienty sells it, but they're in Europe.
Happiness comes from within
Look at
These are top bar type I like them very much 4 frame
Just call the Co-op they can get them in via Mann Lake. They are not too expensive event for a small number of them. 1 queen will pay for the out of pocket expense of 1 mating nuc. Evidently there are other costs, but they are affordable in my opinion. The part that I like the best is it does not cost awhole bunch in terms of bees to stock these mini-nucs. That is by far the greatest advantage of these types of hives.
I bought ten of these from Mann Lake last year. I've had a lot of trouble getting comb built out but I found that I can fasten three mini frames to a standard top bar using rubber bands on the ends of each frame, and put them in to the honey super over a strong hive. Since the frames have no bottom, it is usually necessissary to cut the comb off the bottom of the center mini frame by the time they get the outer ones drawn out. I got them late in the season so I only was able to get two up and running this season, and that was by taking the drawn comb from the best frame out of three from all the frames of six different mini's. If you can get the comb started early in the spring when the bees first start building comb it should be easy to have them in operation the same season.
I use Apidea, some from Man Lake and Bee Works in Canada. From these I like better the Bee Works because has more room.
I also build 4 plenty of 4 way half frames which I think are superior to anything else.
I know its an old thread but i want to ask for apideas nucs.
I used 2 of them but they seem too small.
I filled them before 15 days with some bees and candy, after 3 days i added the queen cell.
Now i saw the queen with 3-4 eggs but she havent a lot of space to born, the 2 frames are full of honey, pollen and the third isn't ready yet.
I know that i can add 2 more frames if i take the feeder but i they still too small mating nucs.
I can see only if she born some eggs, i cant see how is her brood.
Do you find ideal for queen breeding apideas nucs?

Polymyositis (pol-e-my-o-SY-tis) is a rare muscle disease. A few studies that looked at small numbers of people with polymyositis over a number of years found that a gluten-free diet was linked to symptom reduction.
Without stronger evidence, though, having polymyositis doesn't mean you need to cut out gluten — unless you also have celiac disease.
In celiac disease, an abnormal immune system reaction keeps your small intestine from absorbing gluten, which is a protein in wheat, rye and barley. Eating these grains invariably causes digestive distress, as does eating processed foods containing gluten. A gluten-free diet is the basic requirement for living with celiac disease.

Police: Armed robber targeting Puget Sound pot shops
The crime spree began November 21 at Mary Jane's House of Glass in Federal Way. Police say a white man in his 20s walked into the shop and began browsing through the glass pipes.
He eventually picked out a pipe and asked an employee to ring him up. During the transaction, the robber pulled out a handgun and said, "Nothing personal, but I'm going to need everything out of the register," according to police.'
The man left with the cash and the pipe.
The very next day, the same man walked into another House of Glass shop in Tacoma. Again, he drew a gun, told the clerk it was "nothing personal" and left with the store's cash.
The robber took a week off, but returned to his ways last Tuesday when he robbed two Puffin Glass Studios shops in Renton and Seattle.
Police say he made off with cash and paraphernalia and again assured the workers the robberies weren't personal.
Police say the man has short hair, a slight build and stands roughly 6'3" tall. He may have left the scene of at least one of the robberies in a gray sedan.
Seattle, Federal Way, Renton and Tacoma police are now investigating.

Breakers 79
Sydney 76
When the going gets tough, the tough get going - and no one on the Breakers' roster is tougher than Mika Vukona.
The Tall Black captain defined clutch against the Sydney Kings at the North Shore Events Centre last night, nailing a three-pointer in the corner with a second on the clock to break a tie game and hand the Breakers a 79-76 win.
Cedric Jackson looked set to repeat his final-minute heroics of two weeks ago but, instead of driving to the hoop, he found a wide-open Vukona, and the spiritual leader of the Breakers made no mistake.
Their shooting numbers continue to be atypical but one number remains familiar for the Breakers - that in the win column.
Though the couldn't quite break out of their offensive slump - though the did crack 75 points for the first time this season - the triumph moved the Breakers' record to 4-1.
Coming into the contest, the Breakers had rode a resolute rearguard to three straight wins and, if their struggles at the other end were to cease, it seemed Sydney were the perfect opposition.
The Kings, in recent years the league's cellar dwellers, did hold a winning record of their own, but the Breakers beat them up by an average of 28 points in three meeting last season.
That margin was never in play tonight, with the Breakers still struggling from the field (42 per cent) and from the line (50 per cent).
It looked to be a bad sign when the Breakers missed their first four attempts and, with their misfiring radar, the Kings closed the quarter strongly to level the score at 17.
If shooting only 33 per cent from the field wasn't bad enough, the Breakers continued to pass up easy points from the free throw line, managing only two of seven in the period.
That kind of inaccuracy enabled the Kings to take their first lead a minute into the second quarter and, with defending player of the week Ben Madgen (30 points on the night) starting to find his touch, that advantage swelled to four.
But the Breakers began to warm up and five points in as many seconds from Cedric Jackson gave the Breakers back the lead and swung the tide back in their favour.
It was 43-39 to the defending champs at the major break, with Jackson again illustrating his ability to dominate games with 16 points and three steals.
After a relatively quiet first half, Alex Pledger came to life and proceeded to run rampant under the hoop. In a seven-minute spell to open the third, Pledger contributed 11 points and five boards to help the Breakers increase their advantage to a game-high 13.
Even with Pledger's best efforts, though, Sydney had a slight edge in the rebounding battle _ no mean feat against the Breakers - and that helped the Kings to remain with seven at the final break.
It was at that stage the Breakers of seasons past began to blow teams out, but this season's side started the final quarter with another stutter and allowed Sydney to close the gap to one possession.
It was soon a tie game and, with the two sides trading baskets, it remained that way with a minute left. Sydney had their chance before Jackson and Vukona combined to seal it.

WEBSTER GROVES, MO (KMOX) - A chain of three stores that sells survival food and gear reports a jump in sales to people who are getting prepared for the "possible collapse" of society.
"We had to order fifty cases of the meals ready to eat to keep up with the demand in the past three months," said manager Steve Dorsey at Uncle Sam's Safari Outfitters Inc. in Webster Groves. "That's not normal. Usually we sell 20 to 30 cases in a whole year."
Dorsey says business has been brisk since the spring uprisings in the middle east, as customers share concerns about political uprisings, the world economy and the future of the United States.
"I've had people in here that are very wealthy and they've spent thousands of dollars just on backpacks that they fill with survival gear, one for each person of their family," Dorsey said, "And something where they can just grab a bag and get out of Dodge."
Dorsey says some customers talk of stocking up on freeze-dried meals for the home, while others confide they are stashing supplies at a remote location away from the city where they would go in an emergency.

"There are people that have property and they've set up different things they're building to protect themselves like towers they can stand up and watch," Dorsey said, "There's a lot of people I'm dealing with who buy all kinds of stuff because they have like twenty or thirty people going in on this together and they're all going to go to this one spot if something like this happens."
Uncle Sam's Safari Outfitters in Webster does not sell guns, but Dorsey also reports many customers who do not own a gun are asking where they could go to buy one.
"I think people are scared. They don't know where this country is going. They think we're on a downward spiral with just dramatic, crazy spending. People just don't know what's going to happen," Dorsey said.
