Can bees left behind after a cut out start a new colony, or do they just die? Getty
If there is 1 single egg left behind with them, then in theory, yes...they can rebuild from there (given the right circumstances). However, if you get the queen, and clean out every cell of comb, then the returning workers will simply stick around & build a little comb (probably even lay a few drone eggs over time) while biding their time until they all die off.
I often spray some herbal bee-quick type stuff around where I remove colonies...that way there's a lowered chance of new swarms deciding to build there right off, and it seems to help disperse the "stragglers" faster.
Thanks Robherc

Another Obama-Democrat rift opening over free-trade fastracking?
posted at 2:31 pm on January 25, 2014 by Erika Johnsen
While Democrats will be undoubtedly effusive about several of the economic-agenda items about which President Obama is likely to proselytize and subsequently harangue Republicans in his State of the Union address next week — more fake stimulus ideas, extending unemployment insurance, false explanations for income inequality, blah blah blah — I'm wondering how much play he'll give to an idea that might actually garner a little more Republican applause than Democrat.
Things are a little uncomfortable right now with some members of his coalition on a few ObamaCare-related conundrums and furthering pending sanctions for Iran, and earlier this month, a few lawmakers unveiled legislation that would give the president powers that Clinton, Bush, and Obama himself have used in the past to streamline the process for arranging free-trade agreements with other countries, but which have since expired and the Obama administration is seeking to refresh. Via The Hill:
The White House is making a major push to convince Congress to give the president trade promotion authority (TPA), which would make it easier for President Obama to negotiate pacts with other countries.
A flurry of meetings has taken place in recent days since legislation was introduced to give the president the authority, with U.S. Trade Representative Mike Froman meeting with approximately 70 lawmakers on both sides of the aisle in the House and Senate. …
The effort to get Congress to grant Obama trade promotion authority comes as the White House seeks to complete trade deals with the European Union, and a group of Asian and Latin American countries as part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP. …
Legislation introduced last week to give Obama trade promotion authority was sponsored by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.), as well as Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), the ranking member on Finance.
The bill, however, has zero House Democrat co-sponsors — and it doesn't seem very likely to get them, either. A few GOP leaders are pushing the president to do the right thing and make use of the bully pulpit to highlight the issue if he's really serious about it, but… that could get awkward. Via the AP:
Already, he is encountering pockets of Democratic resistance, especially from those representing manufacturing states, to his efforts to win congressional approval for renewal of "fast track" negotiating authority. …
Two House Democrats, Reps. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and George Miller of California, sent a letter to Obama last week announcing they had already lined up 151 House Democrats in opposition to what they called "fast-track procedures that usurp Congress' authority over trade matters." …
Organized labor is also digging in its heels. "The AFL-CIO opposes this legislation in the strongest of terms and will actively work to block its passage," said the labor organization's president, Richard Trumka. "It is past time for the United States to get off the corporate hamster wheel on trade." …
Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, the Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and an Obama antagonist on budget issues, is a top Obama ally in the trade debate. But Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan, the top Democrat on the House committee overseeing trade and a strong supporter of Obama on most other economic issues, is a top opponent.
And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has hinted that he isn't keen on putting the measure up for debate in the Senate anytime soon, with Sen. Baucus standing as the lone Democratic supporter from that chamber. I haven't looked at the text of the legislation and I'm always wary of handing over higher authority to the executive branch, but this definitely doesn't look like the Obama administration's worst-ever idea. There can be no denying that freer trade is not the zero-sum game that protectionism-loving special interests make it out to be, but rather a mutually enriching openness that absolutely creates net economic growth for everybody involved.
Obama himself spoke out against this kind of thing when he was running against Hillary, and to some extent, Romney — back when there were unions to appease and their campaign donations to collect, so he can hardly blame his fellow Democrats for taking the intellectually bankrupt low road — but the reality of his other failed big-government policies perpetuating only sluggish economic growth seems to have him singing a different tune.

I dont want to sound argumentative, but how do you know treatments do not work--what treatments have you personally used that have led you to not want to try any?
Specialists in Ground Cover plants since 1937. Talk to me about ground-covers!
I am not in your area...but you can find "treatment Free" queens for sale in a lot of different places. You can find supposed mite tolerant bees in tons of locations. As far as what bee would adapt to the cold? I can say. I have read that Buckfast has good adaptability, and Russians are supposed to be cold hardy and mite tolerant. So I would suggest, trying a few different types of queens and see what does best. If you use several types of queens and they still don't survive, then it may have something to do with management practices. My bees are treatment free, but they are well managed. IMO
Anyway, whichever bee makes it out of the winter the best...maybe stick with those.
"You have to put down the ducky if you wanna play the Saxophone!" Mr .Hoot
Gold prospector - explain well managed if you would please. I feel mine are well managed but when they die off each year and you are starting over, there is not a lot a guy can do.
Whalers you have been getting some knowledgeable advice but you should also expand your horizons a little bit. Maybe instead of fooling around with importing package bees each spring loaded with mites and poorly adapted queens you should seek out the advice of an experienced local beekeeper and look for a source of local bees such as a nuc to purchase. You also need to realize that there is no super breed of queen that is going to be 100% foolroof against varroa.
"Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay".....Krishnamurti
Risky bizz. I agree entirely. However, there are no local sources of bees. Period. Its a cold short season and we all experience the same issues. Believe me, if I can find a strain that works well here I could sell everything I can produce. I also understand there are no "foolproof" queens against varroa. My goal is to pull splits out of my own hives that make it through a season and attempt to use them to restock each year. So rather than use the "dime store" varieties that i know are going to die, there is no reason not to attempt to find and upgrade to a little little better stock. last year I bot 2 nucs of quote, survivor bees. I had to drive four hours to get them and four hours back. one of them survived and I will pull as many splits out of them as I can. I also bot two packages of Carnies. Mites got one and the other didnt winter even though it was extremely healthy going into winter. Just looking to find better stock to be able to raise my own bees. The opinion I seem to be getting here is you just have to go out and buy them each year and I dont want to do that.
I think I understand where you are coming from. I don't treat and my bees have survived for 5 years without anything. I will not say they are totally mite free, but I have never seen any, never found any on sticky boards, not 1! I have SC mutt bees from Wolf Creek in TN. John has been working on this breed for years. I know his bees survive & thrive in Warre hives in Michigan and I have personally seen mys bees flying on sunny days at 35 degrees. Yea I know all you nay sayers are cranking up, but facts are facts.
Whalers if you care to look, check out his site wolfcreebees dot com. Call them, decide for yourself. Also be open-minded, you can treat for pests & diseases w/o harsh chemicals. Just a thought. Like I said, I haven't treated yet, but I not going to lose my investment or my bees just to say I don't treat. I treat myself when needed, so do you.
All things may be lawful; but not all things are advantagous.
I visited Randy Olivers website a few weeks ago and I kinda like the method he described for sugar dusting and introducing his home-made brood combs for cutting out drone comb (with mites) on an adapted schedule. I don't use any treatments here personally and I have never removed any drone comb either but I do plan on experimenting a little bit this spring and fall.
"Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay".....Krishnamurti
Also bought bees from Wolf Creek last spring....1 nuc and 1 package.. nuc had mites from the start..and bugged out in the fall...the package also had mites but were hanging on with only a few survivors..certain they won't make it through the winter. Lost another feral hive to mites this year.
Have 3 packages from John from 3 years ago that are doing very well.
Lesson learned thehard way....treat

Microsoft CEO Ballmer Roars at Shareholder Criticism, Defends Innovation Record
Jason Mick
November 29, 2012 3:06 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Reuters)
Amid low share prices, Ballmer received a chilly reception from some shareholders at their annual meeting
At Microsoft Corp.'s (
) annual shareholder Wednesday, the company's at-times boisterous Chief Executive Steven "Steve" Ballmer brought in Microsoft's "big guns" -- former
Microsoft CEO, co-founder, and tech icon Bill Gates
and Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein. But at the meeting of 450 shareholders, Mr. Ballmer did not need to enlist the help of his fellow Microsoft elite, who remained silent even as the meeting turned chilly,
according to
reporters in attendance.
Amid tough questions from the audience, Mr. Ballmer was candid in his assessment that Microsoft was a late-comer to the tablet game, but he told the audience in a fiery defense that he saw "nothing but a sea of upside" for
Windows 8 tablets
. He comments, "We're innovating on the seam between software and hardware. Maybe we should have done that earlier. [But] I feel pretty good about our [current] level of innovation."
Indeed, Microsoft has some defenders in odd places. Stephen "Steve" Wozniak, better known as the "Woz", was once a ferocious critic of Microsoft and evangelist for Apple, Inc. (
), the company he co-founded. But today he said in a recent
interview that
he fears for Apple
because Microsoft has become more innovative.

prospects in the tablet market. [Image Source: Getty Images]
Others might disagree.
While Mr. Ballmer pointed optimistically to
Windows Phone sales
quadrupling on a year-to-year basis, the platform is still estimated to only own 2 to 4 percent of the global market, well behind Apple and market leader Google Inc. (
). While Microsoft dreams of "pulling a Google" and rising to the top of the stack, it currently is resigned to vying with embattled Research in Motion, Ltd. (
for the third-place spot
But when it came to shareholder criticism, the harshest questions came not about Microsoft's products, but rather why its share price was so low. Indeed, Microsoft shares trade at an order of magnitude lower than their Google and Apple counterparts. (To be fair Microsoft has significantly approximately 9 times as many shares as Apple, and 25 times as many as Google). Apple recently passed Microsoft in market capitalization and today has a total stock value that is
more than twice that of Microsoft's.
Steve Ballmer dodged the share value question, remarking, "I understand your comment... [but Microsoft has] done a phenomenal job of driving product volumes... The stock market's kind of a funny thing."
Funny indeed, but the shareholders might have been less than amused. Mr. Ballmer did placate the critics slightly by pointing to
Microsoft's $10B USD profit sharing effort
which includes share buybacks and quarterly dividends.
Currently, Microsoft shares are trading at around their levels from a decade ago, having risen roughly 18 percent in 2012. In other words, despite the criticism, shareholders should be pleased to an extent that Microsoft outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 average of an anemic 3 percent in gains.
"Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job." -- Andy Marken

text: I've watched figure skating for years and have an idea of how competition byes work in the U. S. Maybe someone can give me more information. I've always thought that the international competition had to be within 14 days of the regional or sectional competition for the skater to be exempt from competition at that regional or sectional. The situation that has me really confused is Alissa Czisny. Her coach (Jason D.) commented that she is doing a local club competition this weekend prior to skating at Cup of Nice 23 - 27 October. Her Eastern Great Lakes Regional is 4 8 October and Midwestern Sectionals is 19 - 23 November. By my calculations she is outside the 14 day bye window for both regionals and sectionals. In the interview Jason never mentioned regionals or sectionals so I'm thinking my "14" day rule probably isn't correct. It seems unlikely to me that she would want to do a local comp, regionals, Cup of Nice, and sectionals all before U. S. Nationals in January. Anyone have any information on how this rule really works?

On Friday I did my second graft ever. Acceptance was 60% which is quite an improvement from my first.
A few things I am learning.....
I tried a few different grafting tools (JZBZ etc.) and kept going back to the Chinese Tool. I am starting to really get the hang of using it.
Don't try to graft off new comb. I already knew this but it was such a pretty frame with tons of larva the right sized I had to try it. Never again.
I used a stronger light and it made all the difference.
The queenless cell builder was packed with bees this time to the point of overflowing. The gap created in the morning e-cell inspection and pollen frame insertion was completely filled with festooning bees when it came time to put the cell bar frame in. The frame just floated to the bottom.
They will be capped on Wednesday at which point I will check to make sure the cells are packed with royal jelly. First graft was not too impressive on RJ. Hoping for better.
I am getting the hang of this but am just experimenting with an eye on a bit more organized approach next year.
My 9 and 11 year old sons both helped and watched. They thought the bees emerging from the graft frame in the living room was "way cool!".
Too much fun!!

Government Corruption
// The problem
Across the United States of America, citizens are disappointed in their government. While the nation grapples with historical debt, a recession, energy dependence, inflation , terrorism, and wars we cannot afford, our politicians are asleep at the wheel.
The system is broken. Our government has been corrupted by money. We need Congress to solve the nation's problems, instead our politicians are out raising money for re-election. The country is run by lobbyists – fighting on behalf of big oil, pharmaceuticals, military contractors, labor unions, trial lawyers, insurance companies, food corporations, and on and on. We may never get rid of lobbyists and big financial donors. But we all agree: citizens should come first.
Our government is corrupt. We need to fix it. We have a plan. We need your help.
// The solution
Imagine what we could accomplish if the government represented the people.
- Shine a light on dark money groups and their secret donors.
- Outlaw members of Congress from taking donations from the entities they regulate.
- Close the revolving door between Congress and K Street so politicians (and their staff) aren't trading their power in exchange for cushy jobs when they leave office.
- Foster small donor contributions through citizen-funded elections. (If we shut out all the corrupting money, we need to enable clean money. Because like it or not, it costs money to run for office.)
- Stop Super PACs and dark money groups from coordinating with campaigns.
- Disempower Super PACs while protecting the free speech rights of Americans.
- Expand the definition of lobbying to include all types of influence peddlers.
For more details about the Act, click here.
// The strategy to win
- We're going beyond piecemeal reforms. This is comprehensive legislation of historic proportions. It completely reshapes our current system to eliminate the undue influence of money.
- Millions of people are ready to rally behind the same proposal, including all of the issue groups being beaten by big money lobbyists.
- Our movement is not progressive; it's not conservative, it's American. From Occupy to the Tea Party; Democrats to Republicans to Independents. Over 80% of Americans – liberal, independent and conservative – want to get money out.
- We won't ask politicians to fix this for us. We'll force them to. It's the only way to get the fox (politicians) to put a lock on the henhouse (campaign contributions). Oppose us, and you will lose office.

Support the Allied Arts Complex. Don't Criticize It. We Know What We're Doing.
Original post made by A Long-Time Member of the Woodside Atherton Auxiliary, Atherton: West Atherton, on Aug 4, 2007
We've done this with grace and style, as exemplified by the wonderful Tally Ho events and our sophisticated gardens and gift shops. We've brought a level of elegance to the community, while benefiting our charity, the Packard Children's Hospital.
Recognizing the historic value of the Allied Arts property, we undertook to preserve it's heritage for the community, while making necessary tenant changes to reflect the more sophisticated tastes of a new generation of visitors.
Upon re-opening the complex after restoration activities were completed, we saw a drop in attendance due, we are certain, to a need for a more contemporary restaurant, and more upscale shops and art studios—both reflective of the growing affluence of our neighboring communities.
No one wanted to come to a lady's tea shop, so our president terminated the old café and will replace it with a new, sophisticated restaurant that will draw younger people to a more complex cuisine. Success of the new restaurant will allow us to charge a higher rent, thus increasing our income, profits from the site, and contributions to Children's Hospital.
The wonderful new shops and galleries will draw affluent buyers and create a successful, upscale, shopping environment.
Our president and board will also find ways to attract meetings and conferences to a level that will justify the expense undertaken to attract that business, since without them, it will be impossible for Allied Arts to be financially viable.
The Woodside Atherton Auxiliary has invested much of our time and effort in the greater Menlo Park community, and we anticipate that the public, in turn, will support us. Come to our Allied Arts shops, buy the many wonderful treasures you find in them, have your meeting and conferences here, and patronize the fantastic new restaurant that we will have in the near future.
Support us. Don't criticize us. We do know what we are doing.

Thank God for Woodside Atherton Auxiliary! Whatever would Menlo Park have done without it....? And where would Allied Arts be? Productive and functioning?

"Support us. We know what we are doing." Because we're rich ladies who live in Atherton and Woodside, and you're scummy Menlo Park residents.
Long-time, do you suppose you could have slipped "sophisticated" into your post just a few more times? Also, you want to preserve "its heritage," not "it's heritage" (proving once again that money doesn't buy brains).
Instead of patronizing head-patting, how about providing some real answers to the questions that have been posted on this board and elsewhere? If offering "complex cuisine" and focusing on young affluent clientele is your idea of salvation, then I'm sure I'm not the only person who questions your ability to resuscitate Allied Arts.

I've been coming to Allied Arts for 30+ years and have been very sad at the sparse stock of the stores I've seen on my last visits.(Last six months ago). The old gift stores and kitchenwares shops were great.
What esp. was puzzling was how the Allied Arts Traditional store itself had pared down -and now it is gone too I guess. Wouldn't the profit margin been greater there?
Considering the Allied Arts hours I don't understand the first writer's focus on "younger" shoppers. Won't these people be working?
I have never been affluent and resent the focus on that feature. The stated focus of the Guild was to focus on artists- not to pamper the wealthy and surely not to host corporate conferences!
As to the restaurant, I never ate there. The sticking point was the fixed seating times. I never understood why food service couldn't have been flexible--like box lunches or a mini-buffet line.
Now, alas I can see I shall never measure up to the new standards.
My crystal ball says that some slick promoter type will sign up the Guild saying they have the key to making the property profitable- they won't. Their fees and costs will doom the the property and it will be sold off sadly, in I'd guess 2014. My guess, garden condos. Lovers of the Guild (which includes me) will be rightfully upset and as a condition of the rezoning there will be mandatory open garden days for the public, until some resident complains their garden gnome was damaged and the gates will close.
I hope the Auxiliary can save the place!

Allied Arts has become a lovely ghost town, judging by my visit on Saturday.
Clearly, there are a lot of problems that need to be addressed, but the one the Auxiliary needs to focus on is restoring people's good will. The Auxiliary's actions have generated a lot of ill will and that's going to take some effort to reverse.
Accusing people of being stupid for realizing that everying isn't going swimmingly at Allied Arts is not a good starting point IMHO.

I don't know whom the WAA consults for advice, but if the goal is to transform AA into a destination spot for cool 20-somethings with lots of disposable income, it's not going to fly.
Allied Arts needs to take a look around, note the local demographic, and focus on providing services and stores that will appeal to that market. If it were up to me, I'd turn it into a magnet for kid and family-oriented stores, eg Le Cirque des Enfants.
a resident of Menlo Park: Linfield Oaks

In consideration of the tenor of this and related threads, the obvious use for Allied Arts is a new Affluenza Sanitorium.

Is it time to step back and learn how Gamble Garden is able to sustain itself and contribute to LPCH? The rules for Gamble Garden are very strict, probably more strict than for Allied Arts, and none of its boundaries are contiguous with the properties of neighboring residences. It also does not contain a restaurant. The properties are different in a number of ways, with each possessing some unique attributes. Much could be learned.

Artist: Utagawa HIROSHIGE
Birth/Death: 1797–1858
Title: Ochanomizu
Date Made: 1853
Lender: Trustees of The British Museum, London
This picture depicts a suburb of Edo – Japans' capital, and now the site of Tokyo. The suburb, Ochanomizu, is presented by Hiroshige, in mid winter, in colours consisting mostly of greys and blues. The areas of unprinted paper have been outlined in black and softened with tones of grey to give depiction of snowdrifts and snowflakes falling. Colour highlights draw our attention to the two women in the foreground. In this print Hiroshige has presented a partial view of a foreground object juxtaposed against a distant background. This practice was a radical departure from the traditional European approach to composition and was used by Monet in images such as Garden of the Princess.

Reviews of this property
Unfortunately we could not begin our trip and we had to cancel the apartment. But Ezequiel was so kind and understanding . man can speak with him, if there is problem.
Grand impeccable studio
negative: no soundproofing between the studio and the next (also for rent by the same owner I think), you hear all voices, not the TV ...
25 € for compulsory household, personally I always leave my nikel rental.
supplement of € 25 for arrivals after 19HOO in my case flight arrival at 6:15 p.m. so a little just for appointment.
Positives: perfect condition, comfortable bed, perfect bathroom, so close to great through and no street noise, secure door entry
ideally located one can not better left to the entrance Bar € 2.50 breakfast hot drink bread butter jam and orange juice, mini grocery right, otherwise everything is around.
45 minutes from the airport by metro with two changes, otherwise € 30 taxi
I recommend this location, shame about the lack of soundproofing or so rent both studios.
Our rental is the right studio
Grand studio impeccable
point négatif :aucune insonorisation entre ce studio et celui a coté (en location aussi par le meme proprietaire je crois ) ,vous entendez tout les voix , les pas , la télé ...
25 € pour le ménage obligatoire ,personnellement je laisse toujours ma location nikel.
supplement de 25€ pour une arrivée après 19HOO dans mon cas arrivée du vol à 18H15 donc un peu juste pour le rendez vous .
points positifs : état impeccable ,bonne literie ,salle d'eau parfaite , si près de grand via et aucun bruit de la rue, porte d'entrée sécurisée
idéalement situé on ne peut pas mieux ,à gauche de l'entrée bar restaurant 2,50 € le petit déjeuner boisson chaude tartine beurre confiture et jus d'orange ,a droite mini épicerie, sinon tout est autour .
45 minutes de l'aeroport en metro avec deux changements ,sinon 30€ taxi
je recommande cette location ,dommage pour le manque d'insonorisation ou alors louez les deux studios .
notre location est le studio de droite
Regarding the host, a nice treatment. The floor area is unbeatable, but that was just good.
For starters, they charge € 25 cleaning fee when the walls are very dirty and found cobwebs in the sink and the menage was oily and dirty. The extractor was filled with oil and didnt work. Shortage of bedding for change. In the bathroom there was no heating and every time you walked much noticeable. The window overlooking the clothesline did not open and the floor was very poorly insulated, the entire estate was heard and bedtime becomes very annoying to hear the TV of the whole farm. It would also be good to improve the schedules of entry and departure from the apartment, since we were charged € 25 more to come at 19:15.
Respecto al anfitrión, un trato muy agradable. La zona del piso es inmejorable, pero ahí se acaba lo bueno.
Para empezar, cobran 25€ de suplemento de limpieza cuando las paredes están sucisimas y encontramos telarañas en el fregadero y el menage estaba aceitoso y sucio. El extractor estaba lleno de aceite y tampoco funcionaba. Escasez de ropa de cama para cambio. En el baño no había calefacción y cada vez que entrabas se notaba muchísimo. La ventana que daba al tendedero no abría y el piso estaba muy mal insonorizado, se escuchaba toda la finca y a la hora de dormir se hace muy molesto escuchar la TV de toda la finca. También estaría bien mejorar los horarios de entrada y salida del apartamento, puesto que nos cobraron 25€ más por llegar a las 19:15.
The Studio was very good. it is in the city centre, in an excellent location for visiting the city, however it is not noisy at all. It assures you a good night sleep.
The host was excellent. I certenly would recommend it.
We spent 2 days in this studio.
It is really very well located on Gran Via calle.
In one minute, you are in the most tourist area.
The host we welcame us with cheerfulness and affability
This appartement is very quiet even with windows open and cleanly.
It corresponds to the description and pictures.
The windows overlook a wall. The light of day has dificulties to illuminate the studio and the electric light is a must even during the day. This is offset by a strong electric lighting. This has not been a problem for us.
We payed an extra-charge of 25€ for the cleaning but it was noted on the studio description.
We were happy with our stay and would recommend this studio for its proximity to Gran Via.
The house is a small but well-organized monolacale.
The location is great and the owners were friendly and helpful. The only difficulty has been caused by having available only a bunch of keys. Being a space for three people should be provided by at least two decks.
La casa é un piccolo monolacale ma ben organizzato.
La posizione é ottima e i proprietari sono stati gentili e disponibili. L'unica difficoltà é stata causata dall'avere a disposizione solo un mazzo di chiavi. Essendo uno spazio per tre persone dovrebbero fornirne almeno due mazzi.

Hello, this is April O'Neil with Channel 3 News. Chaos has fallen upon New York City. Much more than just a series of small, isolated incidents, it's now apparent that an organized criminal element is at work and at the moment, business is good. So good in fact that there appear to be no eyewitnesses to any of these crimes.
With complaints ranging from purse snatching to breaking and entering, police switchboards have been swamped with the angry voices of more and more citizens who have fallen prey to the recent surge of crime that continues to plague the city. Instead of getting better, things are actually getting worse. Even more alarming is the baffling and often bizarre nature of these crimes. Merchandise of every size and description from skateboards to stereo systems has been disappearing from store shelves and storage areas at an alarming rate.
Even the victims themselves rarely catch a glimpse of the thieves. Many don't even know they've been victimized until it's too late. In fact, police have yet to come up a single eyewitness. Only a few vague reports of young boys or teenagers at the scenes have been filed.
But whoever is behind these crimes, one thing is certain; these are much than just a series of random isolated incidents. Crimes without criminals? An invisible gang at work? Who are we gonna call? Unfortunately the police are the only ones to combat what some are already dubbing the silent crime wave. But perhaps the most disturbing silence is that coming from city hall.
This is April O'Neill, Channel 3 Eyewitness News.
Splinter: Ugh…I know who is to blame for these senseless crimes. Many years ago, I lived in Japan with my master, Hamato Yoshi. He was a great warrior. His only rival was Oroko Saki. They competed over everything, including the love of a young woman. When she chose my Master Yoshi over him, he murdered both in a fit of rage. Scored by love, he was lured to the way of evil by joining the Foot Clan. He rose his way up the ranks and was selected to lead the New York chapter of the Foot Clan. This, my friends, is who is to blame.
I came to New York, alone, fifteen years ago. I found myself for the first time without a home, wandering through sewers, scavenging for whatever I could find. And then, one day, I came upon a shattered glass jar and four baby turtles. The little ones were crawling into strange glowing ooze from a broken canister nearby. I gathered them up in an old coffee can and when I awoke the next morning, I received a shock. For they had doubled in size. I, too, was growing. Particularly in intellect. I was amazed by how intelligent they seemed, but nothing could have prepared me for what happened next: one of them spoke.
More words followed, and I began their training. Teaching them all that I had learned from my master. And soon, I gave them all names: Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael.
Right now, my sons are lost in the battle with Oroko Saki, better known now as The Shredder. You must band together, behind the guidance of my sons, in rising against all evils to save the city.
It is Night One in New York City. It's quiet…a little too quiet. Something is afoot.

Schmidt asks to see city police policy
Jack Schmidt of Pequot Lakes asked the city council Tuesday, Feb. 5, to ensure it is abiding by its police policy.
Specifically, Schmidt questioned the practice of officers leaving their squad cars running in winter. He said the council is obligated to honor whatever policy it set. He said the police chief wasn't able to find the policy.
Council member Scott Pederson said he also couldn't find the policy. But after doing research, he said there are good reasons for officers to leave squads running.
Mayor Nancy Adams said she would find the policy and contact Schmidt.
In other business Feb. 5, the council:
• Reassigned $110,000 from the 2012 Roads and Streets Capital Outlay to 2013 Roads and Streets Capital Outlay. The funds were left over from the budget for Government Drive improvements.
• Agreed to split design costs with Ideal Township to upgrade one mile of Nelson Road. The council approved an engineering services proposal from Widseth Smith Nolting (WSN) for $29,900.
• Asked WSN for a proposal for design for North Washington Avenue, for the block between County Road 11 and Oriole Street, to include diagonal parking on both sides of the street and 8-foot sidewalks. The council talked about different ideas and needs for that street in the future.
• Accepted the resignation of Dena Doughty from the Park Commission and appointed Josh Gibbons to that commission with a term to expire at the end of 2014.

I'm doing both. I glue the back of the actual quilt top as I show. Then when it's time to attach teh backing fabric I put the glue on the batting. It makes not difference. That's just how i do it.SO ARE YOU GLUING the batting? or the Front?
NOTE - Also if you are using the boards like Sharon Schamber shows to pin baste your quilts, you want to roll the quilt onto the boards the opposite way I did. You want to roll it as if it that the back of the quilt top is facing out not the front of the quilt top. So that when you unroll it the right side of the quilt top is facing out. Make sense?
And I love the flannel idea. Thanks!

The apartment is clean, cozy and well-situated. We had a comfortable stay and Rita was very helpful with our questions and requests.
I would recommend this apartment if you are going to visit Paris!
Excellent location, very clean, very modern, very comfortable. Ideal for 2 people who want to discover the beauty of Paris. One of the best neighborhoods in Paris. Bathroom, kitchen, living room all very clean and well equiped. Good sleep on the comfortable fold out sofa. Nice and easy contact with very polite, welcoming and obliging landlord. 100% recommendation
Nur wenige Minuten nach unserer Ankunft an der Adresse und dem verabredeten Telefonat kam Rita uns entgegen, um ihre Wohnung zu präsentieren. Die Wohnung entsprach voll den fotos im Netz. Überdurchschnittlich hochkarätig war allerdings das Sofabett, welches durch einen aufwändigen Matratzen-Unterbau die Qualität eines sehr guten Doppelbettes hatte und sehr unkompliziert zu bedienen war. Beim kleinen aber sehr fein eingerichteten Badezimmer wurden wir zwar vor der Undichtigkeit der Glastür an der Dusche gewarnt. Allerdings hat der Praxistest dann ergeben, dass die Regendusche trotz Design-Vorurteilen ihren Dienst mit Bravour versah. Der Balkon ist für deutsche Verhältnisse relativ klein. Bei Aufenthalten außerhalb der französischen Ferien ist zu beachten, dass gegenüber der Wohnung eine Schule ist. Bei geschlossenen Fenster sollte der eventuell entstehende Lärm am Morgen aber kein Thema sein. Im näheren Umfeld bekommen sie sämtliche Dinge des täglichen Lebens. Die Küchenzeile ist zweckmässig. Die Weingläser befinden sich im Küchenschrank oben rechts im Karton. Die Pfannen sind durch ihre versogenen Böden nicht mehr wirklich zu gebrauchen. Neben dem viel zu kompliziert zu bedienenden Fernseher waren das aber die einzigen Mängel-Punkte. Und da kann man dann auch drüber hinweg schauen. Direkter und zentraler können sie in Paris kaum unterkommen.

A very neat and comfortable place. We slept like roses, it's even quieter than in the middle of nowhere where we live. Lovely flat, great eye for detail. Contact was perfect!
The best appartment we had in Paris. The appartment has a lot of charme, is very practical, very clean, not loud and suited in one of the best arrondissements of Paris. Thanks to the owner Mrs Rita Pasotti for her great hospitality. We will come back :-)
We stayed in Rita's studio for four nights. Everything was impeccable.
Great communication before our trip to paris, very kind and polite host, perfect location and a very clean and cosy studio.
The sofa bed, once you unfold it, was way bigger and much more comfortable than it appears on the pictures. The kitchen was well equipped, the bathroom very clean.
Nearby, there are three supermarkets, two metro stations, a bus station right around the corner and countless possibilities to shop, eat something or have a drink.
Due to the location, you can explore much of paris by foot. Otherwise the metro takes you to most sights within a few minutes.
100% recommendation!
Thank you Rita
Very nice Appartement in Perfect surrounding for a Paris-City-Trip! Appatment is equipped with everything you need and very clean. Thank you very much Rita for your friendly wellcome and absolute reliability.
Great apartment. Very Near from Saint Paul Metro station.
Clean and Cosy apartment.
Thank you Rita and Mrs. Averseng.
The stay in the appartment of Rita in Saint Paul/Marais was really great. Rita is a very nice and hospital person and a pleasure to stay with. The appartment is cosy but modern renovated with a small but nice bathroom.
The location is wonderful to experience Paris - on the one side only a few meters away from the Seine and on the other side the quarter of Marais full of shopping possibilities in small shops in nice streets and restaurants everywhere. The Metro is nearby so from our point of view it is very much recommended to stay in Paris in this appartment of Rita.
We had a good time and if we come back we would like to choose Rita again.
We had a perfect vacation in Paris and the location of this house played a great role in that! Yes, the apartment was a bit small, but who cares about that when you are in a city like Paris, where you wouldn't spend any time at all in the room! We were able to walk everywhere, but if you don't prefer to walk, the subway station was just outside the door. You could get to the heart of Le Marais, the historic district with all the shops, museums and restaurants in minutes, and you are also very close to Bastille, where you could find a lot of bars. We had everything we would need in the house, and we had a lovely host. So, thank you Rita!
P.S: I also wanted to thank Wimdu's support team (Maryse Mitero especially), who helped us with a last minute crisis we had, and helped us find this house. Thank you guys!

Now that her non-appointment is official, and the 62-year-old Warren is heading back to resume teaching at Harvard Law School, the talk has intensified. For the last two weeks, it has been topic number one among the Bay State's chattering classes.
For a policy wonk with no experience running for public office, that is quite a tribute. But it is also a measure of the unease in Democratic circles about the current crop of candidates vying to take on Brown.
That's not to say those candidates don't have their fans. City Year co-founder Alan Khazei, trying again after finishing a distant third in the special election primary two years ago, has raised nearly a million dollars. Newton Mayor Setti Warren is well-liked, although hurt by weak early fundraising. Bob Massie, Tom Conroy, and Jim King each have support as well.
But Elizabeth Warren has something they lack: a positive national-media profile that would immediately attract campaign contributions from all over the country. She would also excite an army of populist-minded progressives who love her tough talk about the evils of financial institutions, and the need for more regulation.
Political gossipers like to say, when talking about an incumbent like Brown, that you can't beat somebody with nobody. The implication of all the Warren hype, fair or not, is that she is somebody — and the others are not.
Warren has helped fuel the fire, granting interviews to everyone from the Dow Jones Newswire to New York magazine. She has meanwhile been talked up as a potential candidate by Senate Democrats Harry Reid of Nevada and Patty Murray of Washington. The national progressive blogosphere, which has gushed over her as a vocal Wall Street critic and champion of financial reform, is mostly thrilled with the idea of her taking on Brown; the Washington-based Progressive Change Campaign Committee has run "Draft Warren" ads online, and claims to have collected over $30,000 in donations that will go to Warren if she runs.
Conversations with Bay State Democratic operatives, however, suggest a certain level of resistance, if not outright hostility, from the local political establishment.
In fact, the prevailing attitude, even from those not yet aligned with any Senate candidate, is that the Warren buzz is a purely Washington creation. Specifically, they think the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) — which Murray chairs — is championing Warren, perhaps at the bidding of the White House, as compensation for not nominating her. (A DSCC spokesperson would not confirm or deny any contact with Warren, or activity on her behalf.)
"National is trying to force it down the throats of people in Massachusetts," says one advisor who has worked on several statewide Democratic campaigns.

In the 49er, Nico Delle Karth and Nikolaus Resch (Austria) stayed in charge to win the race. With a capsize in the first of three Medal Races, Eric Heil and Thomas Ploessel (Kiel) had only a theoretical chance, but won the second race, acknowledged by the spectators with applause - though it did not help. With a victory in the last race, Delle Karth and Resch demonstrated, becoming number one at this year's Kiel Week. Pavle Kostov and Petar Cupac (Croatia) were on rank three.
Heiko Kroeger (2.4mR), Tina Lutz and Susann Beucke (Bergen/Strande) won the second gold medal for Germany.
The crew from Strande and Munich were the early Kiel Week winners after two of the three Medal Races in the Olympic 49er FX. After the success at the EUROSAF Sailing Champions Cup at Medemblik, this was the second coup, with the Australian crews Olivia Price and Caitlin Elks und Tessa Parkinson and Chelsea Hall following on rank two and three. Victoria Jurczok and Anika Lorenz (Kiel) made it to rank four.
In the Nacra 17, the three-time 49er World Champion Iker Martinez with his crew Tarai Pachieco gained the victory. The Spaniard won gold at the Olympics in 2004 in Greece with his crew Xabier Fernandez in the 49er and silver in 2008. The 36 year old Basque-born participated in Kiel with Tara Pachieco in the mixed catamaran and claimed the victory. In the final, the Spaniard did relegate the former leading Australian Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin to rank two. Place three goes to the Austrian team Thomas Zajac and Tanja Chiara Frank. Lisa Rattemeyer and Pietro Sibello (Kiel/Italy) made it onto rank eight in total and missed the medal races.
Mark Andrews (Great Britain), Dennis Karpak (Estonia) and Piotr Kula (Poland) claimed victory in the Finn. Best German Finn sailor was Lennart Luttkus on rank 22.
The 470 was dominated by British sailors Luke Patience and Joe Glanfiled who triumphed over their fellow countrymen Nick Rogers and Elliot Willis and the Austrians Matthias Schmidt and Florian Reichstaedter.
The third gold medal for Great Britain in Kiel was won by the 470 women. Sophie Weguelin and Eilidh McIntyre ensured the victory by winning the Medal Race, with the same point score as the Dutch team Kyranakou and Anneloes van Veen on rank two and the Austrian team on rank three Lara Vadlau and Jolanta Ogar.
Tuula Tenkanen from Finland pointed out her special position and let another victory follow the five first places in the fleet races. Three-time Kiel Week winner Paige Railey (USA) won silver, followed by Joselfin Olsson from Sweden. The German participant at the Olympics in Weymouth, Franziska Goltz (Kiel), who entered the Medal Race on rank three, made it to rank five in the end. 'There is a hell of a lot of wind. My legs already hurt,' Goltz was already skeptical before the start.

Finding an interior designer for every budget
Whether you're building a new home or adding a tile backsplash behind your kitchen sink, you may be overwhelmed by all of the design choices you need to make.
Will the colors and textures you picked out blend well together in a room, or will it become an expensive design failure?
This is why you may need an interior designer.
Before you start to think that you can't afford to hire an interior designer, you may want to consider the benefits.
You might be sinking tens of thousands of dollars into your home with new carpeting, tile, hardwood flooring and window treatments. Why not hire a specialist, someone who has a keen eye for selecting the best colors, patterns and materials, who will leave you feeling confident that you've made the right decisions?
Do you have the time to go store-to-store, researching the latest design trends and colors? Wouldn't it be easier to have someone else do all that legwork for you, presenting to you a few ideas that fit your personality and style?
Before you walk out and hire the first interior designer you find, keep in mind that there are different types of designers for every budget and project. A designer may only work with the foundations — your cabinets, countertops, window treatments and floor coverings — and others may specialize in furniture and accessorizing your home.
How tight is your budget? If you can't afford quality custom-made furniture or original artwork, some designers may not be a fit for you. On the other hand, if you wish to commission one-of-a-kind artwork and sculptures for your retirement home, there is an interior designer out there for you.
Many interior designers offer free consultations, giving you the opportunity to get to know them and their work. It's a good idea to put together a list of what your design needs are, and what you're willing or able to spend on the project. Some designers charge an hourly design fee, while others charge per project.
Ann and Doug Johnson, owners of Personality+ in Nisswa, buy furniture and flooring directly from manufacturers, and usually work on retainer, giving homeowners an estimate of how much time is involved with the project.
Ann Johnson said she often takes potential clients through their personal home to give them an idea of their personal tastes. She described her style as traditional, classic lake home, but with a bit of whimsy and flair. She works with local artisans and craftsmen to create original artwork, designs and furniture pieces to make each home unique and beautiful.
"It's a collaboration of locals supporting a local, that's at my core, rather than ordering from China," Johnson said. "I don't like cheap furniture, and I like to work with local contractors."
The Johnsons can track down vintage design pieces and create the look and style you want in your home. She recently commissioned a local artist to paint a fox on tile that will be used in a kitchen backsplash in a lake home. She has several artists who do work for her, taking her design ideas and making an original piece you'll enjoy for years to come.
"I take pride in ingenuity and inventiveness, and coming up with something that no one else has," Johnson said with a smile.
Julie Gowen, owner and designer at JAG Interior Solutions in Crosslake, specializes in a home's foundations, such as window treatments, flooring, tile, cabinets and countertops. She has her own showroom, and works with quality manufacturers that she trusts. She will often work with a client for nine to 18 months as they build a home, measuring their rooms for the carpeting and flooring, as well as helping to select and install the window treatments.
Gowen doesn't work with furniture or home accessories, mainly because she doesn't have the showroom space to display it properly. She'll often refer clients to other designers if they want that type of design help.
However, no client's project is too big or too small. Gowen said she works with clients who need an entire home done, or who need help on a small project. Some of her clients may only be able to afford to remodel one room at a time, so they return each year with a new project.
"When you have someone to guide you through the process, you will enjoy it, rather than feeling overwhelmed," Gowen said. "I'm very passionate about what I do, and people see that. I'm here to make people comfortable."
Kirsten Seidl, interior designer and owner of Rustica Home Furnishings in Crosslake, said she recommends that her clients purchase the best furniture they can afford so it will last. If you can't afford to buy furniture for every room now, then she helps them create a multi-phase plan to work within their budget.
"We'll put together a complete plan for several rooms and start with a couple of pieces now, then window treatments later," Seidl said. "At least they'll know what the plan is, and then if they're out on their own shopping, they have a plan. A good quality seating piece should last a lifetime. It's usually the upholstery that will wear out before the furniture does. When it comes to seating pieces, that is where you need to put the most money. It's getting a lot of use; you're sitting on it every day."
Seidl recommends that the place to save money is in your end tables, which don't get the same amount of wear and tear. She also works on big or small projects and typically charges an hourly design fee for most projects. She has many of the resources you'll need at her showroom, so there's no need to go out searching for ideas.
"There is that perception that you have to be a wealthy person to hire a designer, but you think about the value added, about the time and money you're saving, and it really is worth it," Seidl said.
Do you really just want someone who will walk into your house and rearrange the artwork and accessories that you already own? Or maybe find for you some inexpensive window treatments that will work well for your bathroom remodeling project, purchased from a local chain store? Beth Hansen, interior designer and owner of Ideaz Galore in Pequot Lakes, may be able to help.
While Hansen's background is in the construction industry and she can help homeowners from the beginning through completion of new home construction or a major home remodel, she also will decorate your home.
Some of her favorite home accessorizing projects have involved mini-room facelifts. She will ask the homeowners to take all home décor and place it in the entry way. She will then replace everything where she thinks it should go, and add some home décor she has purchased that represents the family's style and interests.
Hansen said she has walked into many clients' homes and the walls are empty and stark, even though the family may have lived there for several years. If it's difficult for you to decide what to do with your walls, she can help pick out paint, create floral arrangements or add other decorative flourishes to make your house a home. She considers herself a chameleon designer, and can work with any client's style to create a look that they will enjoy.
"Not everyone is a million dollar client, and I truly like the challenge of finding stuff for any style or budget," said Hansen. "I'm a people pleaser, and I feed off of that. What can I do to make you love your home?"

After going thru Grandpa's stuff, I notice most of his stuff was 8 frame. He used deeps and shallows, no mediums. He tinkered with Foundationless. He made and sold comb honey. He did not have an extractor.
As I build my hives for the coming year, I am kicking around making some 8 frame hives. I have noticed that bees are reluctant to use the outer frames of a 10 frame. Do they do the same with 8? Other than weight of handling, what are the advantages of an 8 frame hive over a 10 frame? Or disadvantages?

City officials call special meeting in Ashland
ASHLAND, Mo. - Ashland city officials have canceled a planned special meeting Friday night.
Leaders had been scheduled to talk about whether to reinstate a suspended alderman.
Jeff Anderson was suspended in September. He has been fighting his suspension, even taking legal action against the city.
The special meeting was scheduled for Friday at 6 p.m. There was no explanation given as to why leaders canceled it.
