A Tale of Our City – Jersey City's Annual Book Festival – Celebrates 5 Years with Expanded Program
JERSEY CITY, N.J. August 29, 2012 – Writers Who Perform, the theme of A Tale of Our City 2012, Jersey City's annual book festival, brings an exciting assortment of authors ready to (literally) rock your world!
The two Jersey City-based writers – known for their polished performances – will give a lively finish: spoken word artist Dujuana Sharese and singer/songwriter Debra Devi, lead in the rock band Devi and author of The Language of the Blues: From Alcorub to Zuzu, at the 5th annual book festival, A Tale of Our City on Saturday, September 22, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Victorian, historic Van Vorst Park, Jersey City, N.J.
A Tale of Our City is presented annually by Jersey City government: Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy and the Municipal Council, the Jersey City Division of Cultural Affairs, and the Jersey City Free Public Library.
Twenty-six writers and performers will be featured at the book festival. Authors of original works abound, including five memoirs (A City Set on a Hill by Shamina Allen, I Am Myself: A Woman Growing Up with Tourette Syndrome by Theresa Borrelli, Fragments: A.K.A., Incomplete Thoughts by Zakee Howze, My First 30 by Nadira Persaud, and Save Me a Seat by the Drummer by Carmine J. Scarpa); six novels (Dream Come True by Debra A. Daly, Vengeance Is Sacred by Peter Healy, La Conspiración Sagrada – presented in Spanish by Santiago Marte, The Man Jacob by Clarence Matthews, The Wicked Education of Henry Holliday by J.J. Tomkins, and Husband in Waiting by Robert J. Woolsey); and three children's stories (The Adventures of Izzy and JuJu: Twin Detective Investigators (T.D.I) by Dr. Andrea Blake-Garrett, Doby's Creek, a novella for young adults, by Jane Pedler, and Perfected by Girls, a YA novel by Alfred C. Martino).
Bonnie the Magic Lady, who presented several shows during Summer Reading Program 2012, has offered her performance, gratis, for A Tale of Our City 2012.
There are six poets – Kenza Ashley, Beth Bird, Jacqueline Hallenbeck, Dujuana Sharese, Nickole Williams and Michael T. Young – with Yvonne Hernandez performing three monologues (50 Ways / What is this strange feeling? / The Date), and Nancy Méndez-Booth, Jersey City-related short stories. Canary in a Cage: The Smith-Bennett Murder Case by Maureen K. Wlodarczyk is one book of Jersey City-based, historical non-fiction.
"Michele Dupey's idea of including performers of the spoken word has really taken off! We are having such a fantastic response from the community from both the literature and performing. The book festival will really ROCK," said Assistant Library Director Sonia Araujo, who is chair of the annual book festival, A Tale of Our City.
Four at A Tale of Our City 2012 are solid musical performers, and singer/songwriters in their own right: the aforementioned Debra Devi; acoustic folk rock musician Javier Orellana,; the previously mentioned spoken word artist Dujuana Sharese; and Tom Thiel of Tom's Dream, a unique blend of traditional country, folk and Americana music.
Returning to A Tale of Our City, with new works, are authors Alfred C. Martino, Clarence Matthews, Jane Pedler, and Maureen K. Wlodarczyk, as well as poet Jacqueline Hallenbeck.
Memoirists deal with pain, in one form or another, yet demonstrate the indomitable spirit of being human: Shamina Allen reaches beyond her pain to include both gays when their straight spouses in A City Set on a Hill; Theresa Borrelli, originally from West New York and currently residing in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, describes life with Tourette Syndrome in I Am Myself; actor/writer Zakee Howze's life on the streets unfolds in Fragments; Nadira Persaud's My First 30, deals with family abuse; and Jersey City-native, multi-talented Carmine J. Scarpa wrote a memoir dealing with growing up with a disability in Save Me a Seat by the Drummer.
Novels and short stories transport us to locales and situations unknown, with Jersey City-native J.J. Tomkins' The Wicked Education of Henry Holliday giving shape to his Tommy Tune-like persona, Peter Healy's Vengenance Is Sacred setting the stage in Jersey City history with suspense and paranormal activity, Santiago Marte's La Conspiración Sagrada weaving a story with intricate religious intrigue, and former Pentagon intelligence officer Robert J. Woolsey brings that secretive life to Husband in Waiting, his first novel. The short stories of blogger Nancy Méndez-Booth and Jane Pedler, whose Doby's Creek is a Civil War story about a physically and mentally challenged young man who has a hero's heart, feature Jersey City, front and center. Clarence Matthews has been presenting his Jacob 'Rite-of-Passage' trilogy at previous festivals, now completing it with The Man Jacob.
For the latest on programs, events, and special announcements please follow the Library on Facebook or Twitter at Jersey City Free Public Library. Visit us on the web at www.jclibrary.org for all information on the Library, including all press releases in The Press Room. As of today, August 29, 2012, the Jersey City Free Public Library has 217,867 valid card members.

©2009 24 Words LLC; (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC
"With the brisk pacing of a novel, Guinn's richly detailed history will leave readers breathless until the final hail of bullets." (Publishers Weekly)
"A fine work of history.... Easily readable and includes much of the last two decades' new scholarship.... Go Down Together is especially good at...placing Bonnie and Clyde in context." (The New York Times Book Review)
Computer Programmer and Worship Leader. Have enjoyed reading since my mom got me hooked on Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie prior to my teen years. My brother got me hooked on audio books after I started having a longer commute to work. Love a variety of genres.
What a great read!! Not only did I learn a lot about Bonnie & Clyde, but also about the economic conditions that produced these two outlaws. While it is truly sad what they did with their lives, their stories are really fascinating.
I had seen the movie with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. It was interesting to watch it again after reading this book and to note the "glamorization" of the two villians, as well as the many misrepresentations in the movie.
Some of the more fascinating facts have to do with the techinques they used to outgun and outrun the law. The story of how Clyde got out of prison the first time is not only interesting but unbelievably ironic. And the story of the poverty they grew up in (especially Clyde) is almost unbelievable.
One other notable theme was how many times they were severely injured and managed to live through it. Hard to believe that they actually didn't die much sooner.
The only thing that surprised me is that the chapter on their death almost seems anticlimatic and brief. The truth of the ambush and the aftermath of their death also holds many unexpected surprises.
Mr. Guinn has done a GREAT job. I learned a great deal and highly recommend this book!!
Unlike some other reviews, I had no issues with the narrator.
Teacher - Autistic Children
GET THIS BOOK...LISTEN TO EVERY WORD...Jeff Guinn, you wrote a wonderful book. Before I say anything about "Go Down Together", the story of Bonnie and Clyde I do want to mention the only books I review are the ones I consider great. I have over 100 books in my Audio Library which allows me to say the bad as well as the good. I choose to only recommend...NOT criticize!
Any person that is a fan of true crime, regardless of the time period the story takes place, will love this audio book. I could not put it down. In fact, after listening to it, I had to go back and make sure I actually heard what I heard. Ironically, the ending actually made me feel sorry for Bonnie and Clyde. Hopefully, I am not the only weirdo that feels that way. Forget the movie, forget every book you have read about these two murderers, and forget anything related to folk tales! Jeff Guinn has written the real thing. THIS IS THE RESEARCHED BOOK I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. I enjoyed every single minute of it. The length went by so fast; the 16 hours were over before I realized it.
Yes, I have a job. However, every single second of free time I was able to muster up, went to this great listen. "GO DOWN TOGETHER", regardless of price is now number two in my collection of over 100 audio books. I will probably listen to it again in a few months. WHAT A FASCINATING AND INTERESTING STORY. These two characters disserve to go down in history. I loved it...THAT'S IT!!! And yes...I do recommend THE TRUE STORY OF BONNIE AND CLYDE to everyone.
Say something about yourself!
"Fascinating story"
Reading like a novel, this telling of the Bonnie and Clyde saga was both informative and entertaining. It describes in great detail the people behind the legend. Bonnie comes across as an adoring girlfriend rather than the hardened criminal portrayed in story and staged photographs. Also a story of the Great Depression and its impact on the working poor. Highly recommended!
"Good Story, Weird Narration"
The story was absolutely gripping. It is a well written factual telling of the story, without being overwrought or apologizing for the actions of the Barrows. However, the narrator is distracting. He has some kind of strange lisp or slur. "Clyde" is pronounced "Dide" consistently, and there are other oddities. If you can get past the delivery, this book is great.
"Riveting story"
Enjoyed all the details. The story was different than I thought, who knew criminals would be so family oriented.
"Finally!!! What Feels Like The Real Story"
Great narrative and tremendous research. It's great to finally here a version of the story that removes the glamour and describes the lifestyle of the time. The author provides detail allowing the reader to visualize the times.
If this piece of history interests you, this is a must read.
"I couldn't stop listening - the story is that good"
I love history and I love biography. This book brings them both together, and brings them alive. Listening to this audiobook helped me understand who they were and why they made the choices they made. I was sad to see their end come -- they felt like people I knew and cared about. A top notch book.
I really appreciated how the author put their story in the context of the economic and social conditions of their time -- I could see what had shaped them.
The narrator brings a "down home" feel to the book. He sounds like someone who knew Clyde and Bonnie.
I wish the author had talked more about Clyde's interest in music. I'm glad he talked about Bonnie's poetry. People were more willing to be creative back then.
I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
"You think you know the story?"
...well you don't! Not until you read this account of their lives. The stroy line is esceptional and offered specifics I had never heard before. I couldn't put it down This is a keeper!
"More Then Credit Worthy!!!"
Make sure you start this book when you have a lot of free time. You will be listening to it night and day. I was so engrossed with this book that when I was driving around listening to it, and would see a police car, I would get a sick feeling in my stomach. This book takes you in and envelopes you until the end. Be prepared to do some internet searches to follow along with pictures and timelines.
Some of the early reviewers said they had a problem with the narrorator but I thought he did a very good job.
"Something is very seriously wrong with narration"
With sincere hope Jonathan Hogan is healthy, it should be noted the narration is absolutely terrible. Plurals are dropped with appalling frequency; at times even altering meaning. Surely the producer of this book must have noticed the performance sounds as if the narrator had been drinking. I've enjoyed over 300 audio books... unfortunately, Jonathan Hogan is a horrendous distraction to an otherwise excellent piece. Read "Go Down Together" rather than waste money on this version

Legality of homeless "car camping"
Original post made by Homeowner, Ventura, on Apr 11, 2007
What is the legality of homeless car camping in Palo Alto?
I live in the Ventura neighboorhood and there are at least
8-10 such long-term campers that I've noticed. Some live
in delapidated RVs or campers, some in cars. One guy has
a truck and a van. Most are in the commercial area between
the railroad tracks and Frys, but some also venture into
the residential area south from there.
There's at least one family; many of the rest are scary-looking
They seem only to fear the 3-day parking rule*. The truck/van guy
has been rotating in and out of the area by the phone company
bulding on Lambert for years and years.
I see them in the parks also, especially Mitchell Park by the
I feel sorry for these people, but I also feel there's
a safety issue involved. Some, but not all, are messy
and probably cause public hygiene issues.
And I have a funny feeling that this would *never* be allowed
by the police in PA's "ritzier" neighborhoods.
Any other neighboorhoods (other than Downtown, obviously)
plagued by this issue?
Ventura homeowner
* PA's enforcement of the 3-day parking rule is also a joke
in Ventura. My understanding is that after being served with a
towaway notice, the owner must relocate the vehicle some
minimum distance. There's an old VW van with broken windows
and full of junk that has been parked within a 100-200 ft
radius on Park Ave for close to 10 years. I've seen warning
notices from the police posted time and again, but the owner
only pushes it a short distance and there it stays.

Homeless sleep on the grounds of the Main Library, particulary around the Gardens and under bushes. They use the Main Library by day. There are no outdoor public restrooms at the Main Library, and this could be/probably is/ a problem. The City had to repair the outdoor lighting at the Main Library last year when a homeless person/s unhooked the wiring because it disturbed sleep. The 'problem' is not confined to one neighborhood.

Attention all homeless people: You need to fly low...Under the radar....Keep out of sight, lest you scare some of are citizens with homes... meanwhile, the likes of Fasotw and Lay, all the CEOs out there, defense contractors, et all...it's all good....you guys don't look so scary, but if they only knew....it's amazing what a clean shave can do....here in america, homeless people elicit fear, while the fat cats (who really should be feared) keep getting fatter...
a resident of Ventura
on Apr 11, 2007 at 8:51 pm
You obviously are a compassionate and caring person, but your
response doesn't make sense.
Yes, our world has plenty of evil rich people. Not "all the CEOs",
but certainly some of of them. And especially the Enron scum
and defense contractor types you mentioned. Income inequality in our
society is scandalously bad and getting worse.
I'm not a CEO, I don't manufacture weapons, and I'm not
particularly clean-shaven.
But I do feel uncomfortable having people that seem to have
serious untreated psychological and/or substance abuse issues
living desperate lives without benefit of sanitation/hygeine
in the midst of residental neighborhoods. Human excreta is
a major disease vector and shouldn't be discarded in the weeds
in a densely populated area.
And I never said clean=virtuous. By "scary looking" I
meant obviously hostile and resentful. The Lambert Ave
guy spends most of his time standing outside his van
staring with almost homicidal-looking rage at all passersby.
Don't attack me (by implication, if not directly) for caring
about the physical and medical safety of my family.
a resident of Community Center
on Apr 11, 2007 at 9:45 pm
Homeowner, no offense intended. I simply wanted platform to pontificate.
Honestly, I live in the neighborhood you speak of, and am slightly familiar with
the issues you discuss, and I do actually empathize with yourself. I was actually wondering
what the laws were as well, because of the situation addressed above....I hope you can
forgive me...I certainly would not want you and your family to live in fear....please don't take me too seriously all the time..I really do care...it's just that many people seem to be afraid of the downtrodden and oppressed, while the fat cats (milken, hurwitz,...) keep getting fatter...and they don't seem to scare anyone....if you think about it, white collar criminals get off fairly easily....even though their crimes have a much greater impact....they keep it relatively out of sight....if that makes any sense....

I guess "flop house" and Gypsy camp" are bad words.
In the interest of sanitation Palo Alto and most other cities need a camp site with sanitary facilities and minimal interference with campers, and minimal solution hostel type shelters. Most of the homeless don't want to be saved.
a resident of Community Center
on Apr 12, 2007 at 10:02 pm
Don't be alarmed, walter, it's just the word police keeping the forum safe.
Does anybody now the answers to the questions raised by homeowner?
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Apr 12, 2007 at 10:18 pm
Sure, I think I know the answer based on my knowledge for other cities. Car camping in that area is probably illegal, but it is complaint driven. Unless someone complains to the police, they won't worry about it. I'm sure thats why they picked a loney street in a industrial area. The percentage chance of bothering anyone is lower there. I've riden past that spot on my bike on the way to Fry's and never observed anything I felt was an issue for me, but then I dont go to Fry's often enough to have a very large sample size.

There is one of these RV folks at the end of Wilton Ave. near El Camino. Every morning at 7AM, he moves one of his cars off of Wilton and puts his RV into the spot. Then in the evening, he either moves the RV into the Treasure Island parking lot or pulls it back into the construction company lot for which we works for down the alley. The guy always has some car parked on Wilton Ave. in order to save a spot on Wilton for when he does the 7AM swap. It is ridiculous and has been going on for more than a year! Can't the construction contractor pay this poor man and his woman a living wage? I might as well move out of my $1700 a month apartment, and just buy a junker RV and live for free in Palo Alto.

who cares if someone is sleeping in their car,,in these tough economic times,just put yourself in their shoes.if they dont harm you or your family,then mind your own business.if their being respectful and cleaning up after themselves,then there shouldnt be an issue,,,,,try helping our brothers and sisters out for a change

There is no law against sleeping in vehicles in Palo Alto.
There is a law prohibiting and restricting parking of designated vehicles in residential and public facilities zones between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., and there is a law against parking large vehicles in any "no large vehicle parking zone".

I help feed the homeless every friday night at my church. I have yet to see a homeless person come into the kitchen to help cook. I am part of the solution, but I believe we will always have homeless people.
a resident of Barron Park
on Oct 11, 2012 at 3:52 am
Today I accidentally discovered my retired neighbor has been drinking with some of these homeless people and has had them in his home. Its his business what he does, but he has substance abuse and mental issues, and does not know the names of the homeless people he has befriended. The person he was drinking with today, was 6'7" and seemed to have a dark expression and anger, possibly mentally ill? When we are all trying to connect more and help prevent robberies, how do we
cope with a situation like that? We can't force the retired neighbor to do anything.
But hopefully whoever reads this will know this is happening. There are young children and babies in our neighborhood.
The difference between homeless and folks with addresses is that we are accountable and known by our name, so our deeds are accountable. A homeless no name, no address, substance abusing person... should have to register somehow, at least with the city, so we know who they are and can look them up on Megan's Law DB.

Great directions. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Great directions. Thanks for sharing.
Here is my version of the big star quilt.
A quilt for our daughter's 23rd birthday.
It was an easy one to make too.
Why I didn't think to make this a couple of weeks ago. I just had "take5 quilt" stuck in my head and made 3 of them...lol

I watched Jenny make this. She has a great video. I made one with Christmas fabric first time and it turned out so pretty. Experimenting with different sizes and colors. Love the star pattern.
PaperPrincess, thank you for showing us how to do this. I made the star part tonight. I appreciate your time.
Material MiMi
Beautiful, thanks for the tute.

Here's a beer question.. Do I go out tonight and drink it and feel like crap tomorrow? Or no?
I've been really into barleywines lately. I usually get Brooklyn Monster Ale. It's not the best out there, but it's pretty cheap; it's only $9 for a four pack. I like most of Ommegang's offerings, particularly Three Philosophers. I'm definitely looking forward to their Take the Black Stout. Founder's makes some good brews, especially if you like beers aged in bourbon barrels. I just opened Newcastle "Werewolf" Blood Red Ale. It's not bad, but it isn't nearly as red as I was expecting. Probably the best beer I ever had was Firestone Walker XVI. So good. Expensive as ****, though. Cost like $30 for a 750ml bottle.
Heineken, as for the hang overs, you can drink as much as you like and get up in the morning ready to go without any ill effects.
For the Bud posters, they will get hung over while drinking it, poison I say.
Forget the Past, Live for the Future!
Labbats or Molson......them Canadians finally got something right.
I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.

Nicole Dunson
UTSA's Nicole Dunson named Southland Conference Women's Student-Athlete of Year
(April 21, 2005)--Six players highlight the 2005 Southland Conference Women's Basketball All-Academic Team with Nicole Dunson of The University of Texas at San Antonio named the league's student-athlete of the year.
Northwestern State University leads all schools with seniors Amanda Bennett and Ashley Sparkman occupying two of the six spots.
The all-academic teams, voted on by the head coaches, sports information directors and academic/compliance administrators, honor student-athletes who earned at least a 3.00 grade point average while serving as a starter or important reserve with legitimate athletic credentials. Student-athletes must have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing within the institution and must have completed one full academic year at the nominating institution.

The student-athlete of the year is annually presented to the individual in each conference sport who achieves excellence in academics, athletics and community/campus service. Nominees shall have earned at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average to go along with superior athletics achievement.
After three years of waiting on the sidelines due to injuries and an NCAA transfer rule, Dunson finally made her debut this year as the senior guard from Corpus Christi, Texas, finished the 2004-05 season with 46 three-pointers to rank third on the UTSA single-season chart and recognized as an All-SLC honorable mention. Her 3-point shooting (39.7) was good for third in the conference and she also led the team at the free throw line with an 89 percent clip.
In the classroom, Dunson owns a 3.92 GPA and has been on the Dean's List every semester at UTSA. The biology major and health minor is also involved in numerous organizations on campus, serving as vice president of the student-athlete advisory committee as well as a member and chaplin of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and a student leader for Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Lady Demons Bennett and Sparkman capped off stellar careers at Northwestern State as the dynamic duo broke school records and set new ones in their final campaign. Bennett, a forward from Simpson, La., ranked second on the team and 11th in the league with a 12.6 scoring average en route to receiving her second straight All-SLC nod. The senior became the 21st player in school history to break the 1,000 career points scored mark and 15th player to surpass 500 career rebounds. She was second on the team and fifth in the Southland in rebounding with 7.5 per game. Bennett, one of two tabbed for all-conference honors on the academic squad, compiled a 3.47 GPA as a double major in pyschology and veterinary technology.
A native of Longview, Texas, Sparkman led the team and league, and ranked second in the nation with a 4.9 blocks per game average. She broke or tied seven NSU and SLC blocked shot records during the season while also setting a new SLC single-game record with 4.9 blocks per contest. The center broke the school record for blocked shots in a season (132) and also set a new school career record (277). The senior led the team and ranked third in the league with 8.5 boards per outing while off the court, she recorded a 3.86 GPA in health and exercise science.
Lamar University, Sam Houston State University and the University of Texas at Arlington each had a representative on the all-academic team with Lamar's LaToya Carson and Stephanie Trachier of SHSU tied for the remaining spot. Carson, the lone underclassmen on the squad, finished among the top 10 in the Southland in rebounds, steals and points as she led the Lady Cardinals in scoring and rebounding. The sophomore from Long Beach, Miss., earned third team All-SLC honors this year and has a 3.44 GPA in general studies.
Trachier, a junior guard on the SHSU Bearkat squad, started in 14 of the 24 games she played this year. The Colleyville, Texas, native posted a 3.88 GPA as a management information systems major and is a member of the SHSU Student-Athlete Advisory Council.
UTA's Tabitha Wesley completes the all-academic group as the guard from DeSoto, Texas, was instrumental in the Mavericks claiming their first-ever SLC regular-season and tournament championships and a No. 13 seed in their first NCAA appearance. The senior averaged 9.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.48 steals per contest in 26 starts of the 31 games played. She ranked second in the league with a three-point field goal percentage (42.4) and was among the top 20 in the conference in steals (15th) and scoring (18th). Wesley is a kinesiology major with a 3.22 GPA.

text: The wife and I just purchased a 2007 Impala a few weeks ago with 23,000 miles on it, was a certified pre-owned from the local Chevy dealer here. Anyhow, we love the car but we're having some difficulty with our remote key fobs. Seems like only one fob can be programmed at any one time. If I try to program mine, hers comes unprogrammed. I know there is a 8 remote max on the Impalas per the owners manual, but my question is this... How can you clear out any past remotes programmed so we can get our two remotes to program and stay programmed? I'm planning on taking it back to the dealer in the morning, but if it's something I can do here at home I'd just as soon do that. Thanks for your help in advance!

Re: garden planning
"it's definitely not my way"
There's wisdom in those words. That feeling that 'this just isn't working for me' is what has often bugged me about my past garden planning experiences. I have several times, ended up dissatisfied with myself by the end of the season and I have finally realized that I let my impulsive fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants personality sabotage my efforts way too often. I am going to try to be more thoughtful, more of a planner, more focused in advance this year. But I promise I won't be overdoing it. I think I have come to a place of understanding myself well enough to just grow a little and still be very flexible if my plans need to be revised or discarded later.
So much feedback! I appreciate all of it!

Antonia Juhasz: BP Spends Millions Lobbying as It Drills Ever Deeper and the Environment Pays
This money has bought BP great access and, many would argue, leniency. "I personally believe that BP, with its corporate culture of greed over profits, murdered my parents," Eva Rowe testified before Congress in 2007. The Congress was investigating the worst workplace accident in the US in more than 15 years, a massive explosion at BP's Texas City Refinery in March 2005 that killed 15 workers, including Rowe's parents, and injured 180. The US Chemical Safety Board, an independent federal agency, investigated the blast and released a devastating indictment of BP. "The Texas City disaster was caused by organisational and safety deficiencies at all levels of the BP corporation," the 2007 report found. "The combination of cost-cutting, production pressures and failure to invest caused a progressive deterioration of safety at the refinery."
While experiencing its highest profits in its corporate history, BP implemented budget cuts of 25% in 1999 and 2005 at each of its five US refineries. The safety board found a pervasive "complacency towards serious safety risks" at all of them. When the next great explosion at a US oil workplace occurred, it was of little surprise to learn that it was, again, BP at fault. It also came as little surprise that the location was the deep offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
BP and the entire oil industry have lobbied aggressively to open new US waters to offshore drilling and expand the access they already had. For decades, the vast majority of drilling from the US Gulf took place on simple scaffolds in 30ft to 200ft of water. In the past 10 years, the number of rigs drilling in depths of greater than 1,000ft (deep wells) has risen dramatically, as have ultra-deep wells, those greater than 5,000ft.
The trend is problematic for many reasons, including that drilling of water depths greater than 500ft releases methane, a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide in the contribution to global warming. Many of the shallower fields have dried up, and the industry has become ever more flush with cash (in 2009, for the first time in history, seven of the 10 largest corporations in the world were oil companies) and more desperate for oil. As a result, the companies – led by BP, the largest producer of oil in the US Gulf – are breaking all records, pushing ever deeper – and well past the point of technological know-how and safety. In September 2009, BP drilled the deepest well ever at its Tiber field in the US Gulf at a depth of more than 35,000ft (farther down than Mount Everest is up).
When it exploded, BP's Deepwater Horizon Drilling rig was drilling at just over 18,000ft deep. Anyone in the business will tell you that drilling at such depths is incredibly risky, even with the most conscientious oversight. As the Chevron Corporation writes on its website, "Navigating uncertain weather conditions, freezing water and crushing pressure, deepwater drilling is one of the most technologically challenging ways of finding and extracting oil." In the words of Micky Driver, a Chevron spokesman: "It's lots of money, it's lots of equipment, and it's a total crapshoot."
The entire oil industry, will continue to use its vast wealth – unequalled by any global industry – to escape regulation, restriction, oversight and enforcement. BP, now the source of the last two great deadly US oil industry explosions, has shown us that this simply cannot be permitted.

I am pretty honest in my photo representation of my life with my children on Facebook. I posted many pictures of my screaming newborns, and when my children are doing something particularly impertinent, I'll post that too. It's not lying to post a happy-looking picture that isn't really representative. It's not misleading.

You have a dream bee yard with 100 hives located smack dab in the middle of 400 acres. The 400 acres is split into 100 acre sections with a constant flowing stream through it.
What would each of those sections be planted with, and you have to be diversified, no crops can be the same and ANY crop will grow in this location.
Also, explain why you would choose the particular forage!

My wife and I caught a swarm yesterday afternoon and found it this morning in one of our traps!
Swarm location: Millers Creek, NC 28651
Trap Setup: 1. Cone swarm trap from Brushy Mountain Bee Supply http://www.brushymountainbeefarm.com...oductinfo/251/
2. 1 Pheromone Lure from Brushy Mountain http://www.brushymountainbeefarm.com...oductinfo/253/
3. A few drops of lemon grass oil inside the trap
4. Placed about 12 feet in a chestnut tree
Background: We noticed a swarm on the tree limb about a week ago and tried capturing it into a nuc box. After brushing the bees into the box, we left it for about 30 minutes and closed it up to move. When we got to the new location, there were only about 20 bees in the box so we missed them. We decided to try a trap in the tree so we set it up on Monday. Over the past 2 days, we had noticed a few scout bees coming and going but no real activity. Yesterday afternoon, there was a larger number of bees on the front of the trap with more coming in and out of the opening. We decided not to check it but just leave them alone for a while and see what happened. This morning, she noticed the trap cone had fallen loose from the base and was lodged in the limb of the tree (Thank God I had positioned it that way). I went out to put it back together and noticed a soccer ball size swarm in the cone!
We moved the cone onto the top of a brood box with another empty deep and empty super on top with a top cover. There is also a queen "includer" between the brood box and the bottom board. Set the cone down in the setup, 2 or 3 gentle shakes and there we are! Now.......if they will just stay with their new home!!!
Getting some sugar water ready and have a super of frozen honey thawing to help them get going.
Any other thoughts or ideas????

The exhibit, curated by Sue Ann Pemberton-Haugh, UTSA professor of architecture, gives an overview through photographs of a College of Architecture project in Noragachi, Mexico.
In its third summer this year, Pemberton coordinates the three-week laboratory project in which UTSA architecture and interior design students design and help construct buildings in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. This year's project will include construction of a boarding school for the Tarahumarans, a group of indigenous people.
"The Noragachi project allows students to put into practice what they have learned about design, passive solar heating, thermal mass, ventilation and building orientation," said Pemberton-Haugh. "The project in the Sierra Mountains of Mexico offers a challenging opportunity to combine three important aspects of a building project -- the orientation of the land, working with local people and construction."
In the Tarahumaran language, Noragachi means "place that twirls." The city is known for its fierce winds.
