Combine garlic, 1 teaspoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of steaks. Place the steaks and corn on the grill. Grill the steaks 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let them rest while the corn finishes cooking. (The steaks will continue to cook while resting.) Grill the corn, turning to cook all sides, until some of the kernels are slightly charred, 8 minutes total. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.

So far, Cleveland's new product line for 2011 has been a bit lackluster with the exception of the Mashie Hybrid as well as the CG16 irons and wedges. Last week we were lucky enough to get our hands on the new Cleveland CG16 Tour irons and I walked away fairly impressed. As usual, the irons are not earth shatteringly different than the previous models, but the CG16 does look and feel more refined. This player's set is designed for the golfer who demands solid feel, accuracy, and workability without sacrificing too much forgiveness. After a few swings in the net, it was evident that the CG16 encompasses all of these attributes. The cavity is quite modest however it is undercut which improves ball speed, distance on mis-hits, and accuracy. The tour-inspired shape promotes confidence at address with its progressive offset and cog location, thin top-line, and dark glare-free finish. As good as this club may appear and perform, my only complaint is that it is not forged. For some reason (most likely cost), Cleveland has steered away from making forged clubs and I think they are doing themselves a dis-service. The games best players want the best, and let's face it, forged irons simply feel better! In an increasingly competitive market, Cleveland needs to show up to the gunfight with a little more than a pocket knife. On the other hand, the Cg16 is still a great performing iron and to Cleveland's credit, their castings are quite good. The CG16 Tour irons will be available for shipment mid-February.

Permanent link: [Article]-Nmap Network Scanning
Review by JP Bourget, CISSP, MCSE, MS
Once again, my company had acquired some new networks for us to take over, and of course, the documentation was from 3 years ago. As part of our due diligence, I had to quickly and accurately figure out everything on the network. How did I accomplish this? With a network mapping utility; and the de facto standard in this area is Nmap! Nmap by Gordon Lyon AKA Fyodor not only saves you time, but, if you really know how to unleash it's power, it can be your friend for network audit's, discovering new devices, and even part of the network reconnaissance phase of a Pen Test. Another cool use I just learned from the Fyodor /. Interview was that the Chinese use it to scan for open proxies to bypass the Great Firewall of China. With that kind of flexibility, it is clearly the right tool for this job and many others. But what's the quickest way to get that power working in my favor?Info on getting half the book for free is available below.
The obvious choice would be an in-depth tome from the author himself, but, after over 10 years in use around the globe, such a book didn't exist. But after seeing Fyodor's talk at Defcon 16 in August of 2008 and seeing an actual pre-release copy of his forthcoming book, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Fast forward to January of 2009 when Fyodor sent me a review copy of what is one of the most well written reference books I have had the chance to use to date. Before you even get to chapter one, you get a comprehensive table of contents followed by a list of tables and examples. Every book should do this! It's also important to note that this book is filled with out-of-the-box command line examples that should be in any pen tester's toolkit.
Let us know what you think of JP's work. Also, please recommend books you'd like to see us review.

How would react if the Boston Ballet board asked you to be the company's executive director as well as its artistic director?
They've already done it. But I think that for the best interests of this organization, we need an excellent executive director. I could do a very good job. But there's not enough hours in the day to do the artistic director's job. I'm responsible for the largest school in North America. I have 50 trustees, all 50 overseers, fundraising — I never get to everything I should get to in a single day as an AD. The ED plate is equally impossible. So the answer would be a double madness. I have been pulled already way too much away from the studio over the past several years, and I want to return to the studio and work with the dancers. Lots of dancers came here to work with the repertoire and work with me, and I feel that we've had turbulent times and I want to go and help the organization as much as possible when it was most needed. I do start to see the sun rise, and this is the time to return to my original duties. I feel like the first circle has been completed. We've started to change the company, and we've completed the circle. Now it's time for round two. While we're taking one step back, it is with the intention that it is two to three steps forward. So now I will create the next phase of the company. And in the last three months we've had tremendous success with fundraising, up and above any of our annual lines, as of today we have over $5 million that will help us with our cash-flow issues, pay down some of the debt, will help us to move to the Opera House, including the renovation of the orchestra pit. This is just in the last three short months. And I want to keep this initiative alive much longer to take care of many things, and then start looking at the company's 50th anniversary, in 2013. And most likely continue building the fiscal structure. If you have foundation that can support a two-story house and my dream is to build a skyscraper, it would be irresponsible to do it on a foundation that can't support it. So right now I have been trying to work on the infrastructure, and we will work to create the right financial platform to fulfill our need and do what we intend to do.

can sorghum be fed to bees?
can sorghum be fed to bees?
I couldn't find anything on sorghum.
I did find some links to articles that may help but didn't have a answer to your question.
One is on poisions in sugars; The other covers effects of different sugars. Like I said nether covers sorghum, but it's some intresting reading.
Are you talking about sorghum syrup that comes from johnson grass? I'll look some more, to see if I can find any thing on it.
It is similar to molasses (in fact it's usually labled Sorghum Molasses). I would think it would have the same problems. Too much solids. Too much dysentery. Small amounts probably wouldn't hurt much, but large amounts probably would.
i figured that the sorghum/molasses would probably cause them dysentary,but never actually seen anything specific on it.
I did some searches and didn't find anything. I would have to agree with Michael. If for no other reason, no one knows for sure. You could do some test and see.
you would not have a problem if you added it to your feed in the spring when they can get out and deficate. 1 cup of sorghum to 1 gallon of sugar syrup. I would not feed it in the fall for them to overwinter on it.

San Antonio is basically what we anticipated, a cute historic city with a lot of character
The next day, before leaving the San Antonio area, we took a short drive south to visit what is known as "Mission Trail" which is now known as Missions National Historic Park and houses Spanish frontier historic missions. The Mission Trail is a trail of Spanish missions that run through out Mexico, California, Texas and even New Mexico. The goal of these missions was to convert the Indian Mexican natives to catholicism and the Spanish ways. Food, clothing, and a safe home to live would be offered in exchange for learning Latin and Spanish, and becoming catholic, etc. These missions would be run by Friars for 10 years, after which the missions would be secularized. In San Antonio there were 6 missions, one of them was The Alamo, of the other 5, only 4 remain and are part of the Missions National Park, of the 4, the best preserved and largest mission is the Mission San Jose, which is still in use today. We toured Mission San Jose and it really was an esquisite piece of history, very well preserved. The photographic opportunities were endless.
Our one night stay in San Antonio was just enough, and gave us time to
rest before we set off on our longest trek so far..to Santa Fe, NM.
May 3 - May 4
Mi Tierra - Cafe and Bakery: We had dinner here as our booked recommended it, it was ok, the best part was the bakery that was adjacent to the cafe. We picked up some pasteries for dessert/breakfast, and these were yummy!

It's almost a given that The Americans would be compared to Homeland, but for me, FX's new series is reminiscent of another spy show I couldn't get enough of: Alias (albeit way, way darker). There's something similar and oddly comforting about Jennifer Garner and Keri Russell; they both made their marks on J.J. Abrams shows and, from afar, seem like the last two actresses who should be cast as spies -- but when you see them in action, their portrayals are overwhelmingly convincing.
If you saw Mission: Impossible 3 (another Abrams project), then you know in her precious few minutes on-screen, Russell's got some fight in her. And she proves it once again in The Americans. It's been a while since Felicity left the airwaves but she's back and more intense than ever. Russell and Matthew Rhys (Brothers and Sisters) play Elizabeth and Phillip Jennings, a seemingly golden, all-American couple with two children, living the dream in a beautiful home in the Washington D.C. suburbs. In actuality, Liz and Phil are Russian agents posing as American citizens during the Cold War-era '80s. So, needless to say, this is not a grown-up version of The Carrie Diaries.
We see through flashbacks just how Elizabeth and Phillip have come to be, having trained for their mission for years before moving to the U.S. in 1965. As far as everyone is concerned, they work as travel agents and their son and daughter have no idea their parents are Russian, much less undercover KGB agents. We also learn that Phillip has become accustomed to his American lifestyle and would be more than happy to betray his country for money and to maintain the family he has grown to love -- but Elizabeth, not so much. Her devotion to the motherland is hard-core and says as much to her husband, but she also hints at it when discussing her son's homework.
"The moon isn't everything," she tells 10-year-old Henry (Keidrich Sellati). "Just getting into space is a remarkable accomplishment." Heh.
So The Americans isn't just a spy drama; it's also a bit of a love story. Sure, it seems like a coupling of convenience, but who knows what the future holds for Phillip and Elizabeth. By the end of the premiere, they no longer seem like two people in an all-business arranged marriage and we see they have genuine feelings for each other.
But where's the fun in that -- two sleeper agents secretly living their life with no one the wiser? That's where Noah Emmerich (White Collar) comes in. The Jennings' new neighbour just happens to work for the FBI in the counterintelligence department, because, of course. It might be odd rooting for the enemy, but Russell and Rhys share amazing chemistry -- which makes their on-screen relationship that much more fascinating. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that the "good guy" is played by Emmerich, who is a master at the sleazy, "that guy" role.
Creator/executive producer/writer Joe Weisberg worked for the CIA before turning to writing, and gets help from exec producer Graham Yost (Justified) and writer/exec producer Joel Fields (Ugly Betty). While comparisons to Homeland and Alias are inevitable, The Americans manages to perfectly balance the slick espionage with the normal and ordinary, but makes it anything but.

I have the opportunity to trap out a colony of bees that are established in a pine tree about four feet off the ground. The tree is about 20 feet from the property owners house. The tree is 6 feet 4 in circumference. They arrived there last spring. The entrance is in a crack 12 inches long and 3 inches wide at the widest point. I checked them this morning and could hear them buzzing. Assuming that they make it to spring I'll set up the hardwire cone and a trap out hive next to them. I hear that the economics of trapping out do not make it worthwhile, but I'm going to do it for fun. I understand the whole process may take 2 months. I have seen posts and done searches on here, but I have a question.
Question 1) Do you always have to seed the trap out with a frame of nurse bees and eggs, or can you use a frame of nurse bees and a caged queen with candy plug, or even a frame containing queen cells that you got started in my home yard? I'm thinking a caged queen would be up and going before a frame of eggs. I understand the feral colony's queen will kill a queen that is loose in a newly placed trap out.
Question 2) The size of the trap out. Does it make any difference if you use a 10 frame deep or a 5 frame box?
Thanks, Adrian.

Natural ingredients from exotic locales always hold the sparkling promise of miracle elixirs—so it's nice when research backs it up. An example of this is African rooibos tea, which has been found to improve various risk factors for heart disease.
Tea made from the leaves of the rooibos plant has been consumed in South Africa since the 1700's. Cell studies suggest the tea, also called redbush, contains antioxidants and other nutrients, but health benefits attributed to its consumption are largely unproven so this study is of particular interest.
Researchers invited 83 men and women with at least two or more coronary heart disease risk factors, but who were otherwise healthy, to participate in the rooibos study. The risk factors included high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure (hypertension) or pre-hypertension, and being overweight. Participants were not taking any medication to manage these conditions.
Participants consumed 6 cups of rooibos herbal tea daily for six weeks, followed by a four-week control period during which they drank 6 cups of water instead. Blood tests to assess antioxidant activity, cholesterol and triglyceride (fat in the blood) levels, and liver and kidney function were measured at the end of the tea and water study periods.
Compared with drinking water, changes in blood measurements after drinking rooibos tea included:
This study suggests that drinking six cups of rooibos tea daily may improve blood markers associated with heart disease, which many scientists view as an indication of lower risk. But should you add rooibos tea to your heart-healthy, self-care plan?
Keep in mind that drinking almost any type of tea may improve health. Many teas, from black to green to chamomile and other herbal varieties, appear to offer a variety of health benefits. So, if you like the taste of rooibos, drink up. But if rooibos doesn't appeal to you, try green, black, or another herbal tea instead.
Also remember that one added benefit of tea drinking is that the tea can replace other, less healthy beverages. If you ditch your soda in favor of a cup of tea, you'll be doing your health a favor, regardless of the type of tea consumed.
Finally, if heart disease is a concern, you will likely do more for your health by engaging in tried-and-true heart-disease fighters. This includes maintaining a healthy body weight, getting regular exercise, and following a heart-healthy eating plan that includes plenty of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, and legumes.

EH-Net IRC Channel?
I really hope I have not overlooked it, but how about an IRC channel for EH-Net? I know I was really into IRC back in the 90's, then phased out of it, now coming full circle in how much I use it. It seems EH-Net has a pretty good group of people that would make for a great channel and a place to freely chat.

text: Are there good privacy shrubs that will also provide nectar for bees to make honey? I am considering either privet (ligustrum) or camelias. I live in South Carolina, in the Piedmont. The shrub needs to be an evergreen to keep neighbors from seeing my bee hives during the winter months. Also, this nectar needs to be good tasting honey too.

Photos would help. Particularly helpful would be photos showing all of the markings on the gun.
For a manufacturing date, you would need better references than I have at hand.
A real, made-in-Germany, Walther PP with Nazi eagle markings, with 60% finish, might be worth $600.00 on up...to infinity, depending upon the other markings on the gun.

January 2009
A combination of epidemiological analysis and laboratory testing by state officials in Minnesota and Connecticut, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have enabled FDA to confirm that the sources of the outbreak of illnesses caused by Salmonella Typhimurium are peanut butter and peanut paste produced by the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) at its Blakely, Georgia and Plainview, Texas processing plants
Peanut butter is sold by PCA in bulk containers ranging in size from five (5) to 1,700 pounds. The peanut paste is sold in sizes ranging from 35-pound containers to product sold by the tanker container. Neither of these products is sold directly to consumers, though some bulk containers were sold to schools and other institutional facilities. Foods containing the recalled product may also be available in school cafeterias and vending machines, including cookies, crackers, or snack mixes. Additional details on the recall can be found at: http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/salmonellatyph.html.
Because identification of products subject to recall is continuing, the FDA urges consumers to postpone eating commercially-prepared or manufactured peanut butter-containing products and institutionally-served peanut butter until further information becomes available about which products may be affected. Efforts to specifically identify those products are ongoing. To make it easier for consumers to determine whether any of the peanut butter-containing products they have at home are subject to recall, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has created and posted an expanded, searchable database that will be updated as new information becomes available: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/peanutbutterrecall/index.cfm.
Schools are encouraged to examine their cafeteria and vending machine selections to ensure that recalled products are removed. Any product on the recall list should be disposed of in a safe manner to prevent infections in humans, pets, or other animals. The product should be disposed of in a closed plastic bag and placed in a sealed trash can to prevent people or animals, including wild animals, from eating it. Consumers are also urged to wash their hands after handling potentially contaminated products.
For information on products containing peanut butter from companies not reporting recalls, consumers may wish to consult the company's website or call the toll-free number listed on most packaging. Please note that information consumers may receive from the companies has not been verified by FDA.
Information about recalled products and Salmonella can be found by calling 1-800-CDC-INFO.
A podcast on the outbreak, response, and consumer information can be downloaded from CDC's Web site at http://www2a.cdc.gov/podcasts/player.asp?f=10684
Persons who think they may have become ill from eating peanut butter are advised to consult their health care providers. Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12–72 hours after infection.

Jennifer Siebel's Biography
Three Words to Describe Herself: Sensitive, kind, and loving
To Her 15-Year-Old Self: Breathe more and don't take life too seriously.
Source of Laughter: "I turn on some music and I start dancing with my kids."
Message for Women: "You are better than you think you are. You're more capable than you think you are. You're smarter than you think you are, and we need you."
Jennifer Siebel Newsom was already an accomplished women by the time she went knocking on Hollywood's door at the age of 28. She had graduated with honors from Stanford University with a Bachelor's of Arts in 1996, and obtained her MBA from Stanford in 2001. On top of her already busy academic schedule, she completed a certificate program at the American Conservatory Theater before leaving to work for Conservation International to do environmental work in Africa, Latin America and Europe. When she decided to pursue a career in acting, Newsom was confronted with an impossible dilemma. Already older than most actors vying for leading roles, her agent told her to lie about her age and level of education. Newsom refused, realizing her problem making it as an actor was not with herself, her age or education. It was the media's limited conception of women that prevented her, and other women, from breaking into this competitive industry.
This experience was the driving force behind her documentary Miss Representation, a film exploring the underrepresentation of women in positions of power through challenging the media's limited portrayal of girls and women. Following the film, she launched MissRepresentation.org, a call-to-action movement helping girls and women reach their full potentials. Newsom is now a nationally recognized speaker and an advocate for women in media. In 2012, she was named as one of Newsweek Daily Beast's "150 Women Who Shake the World," and in 2011 a "Power Woman" by New York Moves Magazine.

Better Know An Athlete: Rebecca Soni
In the third installment of our Better Know An Athlete series we take a look at swimmer and two-time world record holder Rebecca Soni.
We're 10 weeks away from the summer Olympics in London and it's about time you got to know some of the athletes poised to bring home the gold. Over the next three months, our Better Know an Athlete series will be profiling some of America's best. This week: Rebecca Soni, winner of the gold medal for 200m breaststroke in Beijing, world record record holder and pride of the American pool.
Name: Rebecca Soni
Age: 25
Height: 5'8"
Born in: New Jersey
Preferred Event: 200 m breaststroke
Soni has cleaned up in recent years at the FINA World Championships; she followed up a four-medal performance in 2010 (gold in the 50 m, 200 m, 200 m breast and silver 4x100 m medley) with another in 2011 (gold in 100 m breast, 200 m breast and the 4x100 m medley and bronze in the 50 m breast). She set the world record for the 100 m breast at the 2009 edition of the event.
She is a four-time national champion in the 200 m breast (2005, 2007, 2009, 2010), an event she not only won at the 2008 Olympic Games but for which she set and still holds the world record. She also took home two silvers in Beijing in the 100 m breast and the 400 m med-relay.
Personal Bests:
50 m breast: 29.83 set in Dubai, December 2010
100 m breast: 1:02.70 set in England, December 2009 (world record)
200 m breast: 2:14.57 set in England, December 2009 (world record)
Worth Noting: Soni was not even meant to compete in the 100 m breast at the 2008 Games in Beijing; she finished fourth at qualifiers; typically only the top two advance. But when the second and third place finishers dropped out, Soni was selected by default. She went on to win silver in the event behind heavy favorite and record holder Leisel Jones of Australia. She would go on to beat the heavily favored Jones three days later in the 200 m version of the event.
Soni after winning her gold medal at the 2008 Games: "It's been a long road to get here, I can't believe what just happened."
Olympic Scouting Report: Soni's best times might be behind her, but she is still a force on the international stage. In 2011 she successfully defended her titles at the FINA World Championships and finished ahead of her second-place competitors by seconds in several high-profile races. She is a good bet to take gold in London in both the 100 m and 200 m breaststroke, and the American medley team, anchored by Soni, is most definitely in the race for a spot on the podium.

The increasing Asian ownership of restaurants and cafes in Auckland is giving Asians an advantage over English-speaking European job seekers, a Massey University sociologist says.
A new migrant from the UK, Edward Marshall, told the Herald he was "giving up hope" about finding hospitality work in central Auckland despite having 16 years of experience, after three of the jobs he had been interviewed for went to Asians.
Professor Paul Spoonley said research showed Asian business owners preferred co-ethnics as workers primarily because of language.
"Our research shows that Asian small business owners are concentrated in the hospitality and retail sectors with a significant co-ethnic customer focus, both co-ethnics who live locally but also those who are tourists," he said.
"Language competence, for example Mandarin, is important for both the running of the business but more importantly, communicating with the customers."
Professor Spoonley said that Asian business ownership has grown significantly in Auckland, and potential employees who could not speak languages other than English are seen to be less attractive.
"It is an interesting reversal," he said.
Malaysian restaurant Mamak owner Jeffrey Ng, who has placed advertisements in the Herald and Asian media for a chef and waiting staff, said his jobs would also most likely go to Asians.
"I don't think it's racism, but I need staff who know our food, understand the culture and speak the languages of our customers," Mr Ng said.
"We need people who know when to take out chopsticks and when a fork is needed, and not so much people who know their wines or the cuts of beef."
All six of Mr Ng's staff working at the cafe are Asian.
Migrant Action Trust manager Agnes Granada said her organisation was advising job-seeking migrants to emphasise their "ability to work with different cultures".
"With the way New Zealand is developing, becoming so ethnically diverse, it just makes sense for business owners here to employ people of different ethnicities," she said.
Ms Granada said even non-Asian owned businesses, such as banks, were employing Asians to serve growing numbers of Asian customers.
The ability to work with different cultures was a huge advantage, she said.
The Asian unemployment rate for the September quarter was at 10 per cent, which is above the 7.3 per cent national average but significantly lower than Maori (15.1 per cent) and Pacific Islander (15.6 per cent).

I'm attempting to do it, and trying to setup the firewall via iptables, but for the life of me I haven't been able to get it working. It just acts like it doesn't want to work properly. The interfaces don't seem to have the manageability they're supposed to.
Does anyone else have experience with this?
If not, can anyone recommend a small device that I can put iptables on to run a firewall that works? My objective is to not have to use an entire computer just to run a firewall.

Wolf Creek in TN
I can't confirm this for sure, but I heard from a local supplier that John and Ruth were getting out. Apparently John is in really poor health. Again, can't confirm this, but just what I heard from a local supplier.
Bjorn Apiaries in PA sells treatment free queens. He's in PA like me, so if you need them now you're out of luck. But if you want them later, you may want to check them out.
Is Wolf Creek treatment-free? From their website:
ok...that's not quite treatment free...but not too far off....but also on their website is: (and note that they suggest a treatment from chalkbrood amongSmall cell bees, when used in conjunction with screen bottom boards along with powder sugar dusting in the fall, will give an effective chemical free control of Varroa.
Thyme oil, sugar dusting, wintergreen oil, garlic powder, eucoliptis oil, crisco, boric acid, hydrated lime, lemon grass oil, soy flour, vitamin C, brewers yeast....and note the lack of using any kind of emulsifier when using oils in syrup...WOLF CREEK APIARIES
(931) 729-9229 ( PLEASE: Call before coming )
1. Put 5-8 drops of Thyme oil in 16 ounces of mineral oil, shake it up and squirt it on
a paper towel making a double SS. Then put it in the hive on top of the frames up
till 3 weeks before the honey flow and anytime after the honey flow.
2. Mix 1 Tablespoon of garlic powder with 1 cup of water in a blender on low speed
for 2-3 minutes. Add the cup of blended mixture to a gallon of sugar water, mix
by shaking, and feed it to the bees in early spring up till 3 weeks before the honey
flow. Can be used again in the fall after the honey flow.
3. Put 4 ounces of granulated sugar per deep hive box into a blender on low speed in
order to make your own powdered sugar. The powdered sugar that you buy in the
stores contains corn starch which the bees cannot digest. Place the 4 ounces of
home made powdered sugar into a baggie. Use one 4 oz. baggie to a deep box and
3 ounces per medium box. The next time that you are in your bee yard, dump the
sugar onto the top of the frames. Use a new paint brush ( must be a foam type ) to
brush the powder off of the frames onto the bees early in the morning or late in
the evening 4 times at 10 days apart starting in late August and continuing into
September. Best to have screen bottom boards for this with a tray underneath to
catch the powdered sugar dust. Then put the dust in the freezer for 48 hours to
kill the mites. For a solid bottom board, place a piece of cardboard on to it to
catch the dust. Then remove the cardboard and put dust in to the freezer for 48
hours to kill the mites. This is done so that the bees won't play in the sugar and
take the mites back into the hive with them.
4. Use 20-25 drops of Thyme oil in 16 ounces of mineral oil if you use a fogger for
mite control. Walk by the landing board, hold fogger 6" from the entrance for 8 to
10 seconds and then move on to the next hive.
5. A very effective treatment for Varroa mites on artificially sized 5.4 bees and the
natural 4.9 bees is the wintergreen oil study found at
1. Mix 10-12 drops of eucalyptus oil with 1 cup of Crisco shortening. Stir in ½ to ¾
cup of sugar and make into a small patty. Place patty on a piece of wax paper and
place on top of the frames. ( use latex or rubber gloves anytime when working
with eucalyptus oil. )
2. Dust diatomaceous earth on the ground around your hive instead of using Guard
Star. Be sure and make a 8-10 foot radius around the hive, watering it into the
ground or apply before a rain.
3. Use old cortex boards for traps by cutting them into 3x4 inch rectangles. Hold 6
of the cortex boards lined up together and cover the open end with Crisco. Turn
over and spoon in 1/8 to 1/4 inch ( 2 teaspoons full ) of the Boric Acid into the
other end and seal with the Crisco shortening. Place into hive on the bottom
board, securing it with staples, or put on top of the frames.
4. When using the West SHB traps, place 1/8 to 3/16 inches of hydrated lime into a
clean, dry tray, put the grill on top and place into the hive as if you had oil in it.
This method is better than using vegetable oil since oil tends to run out or to settle
in low spots leaving other spots dry. Lime has a higher kill ratio than oil.
Mix 1 teaspoon of Tea Tree Oil with ½ cup of water. Put into a blender and blend
on low speed for 4-5 minutes. Put the mixture into a ½ gallon jar of water and shake it
up. Then pour 1 cup of the afore mentioned mixture into a gallon of sugar water and
feed this mixture to the bees for a month.
1. Same as above but use 2 teaspoons instead of 1 teaspoon of Tea Tree Oil.
1 drop of tea tree oil
4 drops of lemon grass oil
¼ cup water
NOTE: Sugar water is a 1 to 1 ratio in the spring and 2 parts sugar to 1 part water in the
Mix all ingredients in a blender on low for 4-5 minutes and add this mixture to 1
gallon of sugar water and feed to the bees in the spring.
1 cup soy flour
½ cup sugar
2-3 tablets of crushed up vitamin C
¼ cup brewers yeast
3 drops lemon grass oil
¼ cup honey ( use only your own honey )
Mix into a small ball, flatten, put on wax paper and place out in the bee yard
protected from the weather such as an old bird feeder.

All oils must be pharmaceutical grade!! Essential Oils are for perfume purposes
and not for healing.
Diatomaceous earth must be of food grade. Caution must be used since it is an eye
and lung irritant.
Lime dust may also be an eye, skin and lung irritant.
...how does the oil not separate from the water? I don't use EO's, but i do know that keeping them from separating from the syrup is important.Mix 1 teaspoon of Tea Tree Oil with ½ cup of water. Put into a blender and blend on low speed for 4-5 minutes. Put the mixture into a ½ gallon jar of water and shake it up. Then pour 1 cup of the afore mentioned mixture into a gallon of sugar water and feed this mixture to the bees for a month.
Not much treatment free in any of these procedures.

...how does the oil not separate from the water? I don't use EO's, but i do know that keeping them from separating from the syrup is important.
You have to emulsify the oil by blending at high speed with syrup. I tried using soy lethicin granules but I think they just absorbed the EO's and the treatment was ineffective.
So when you use a blender, the oil does not separate out? The bees get a consistent concentration of EO blended into the syrup? I have a hard time believing that, but I have never done it. My understanding is that the worst thing that can happen is that the oil separates out, floats to the top of the syrup, and is consumed in very high concentration at the "bottom" of the feeder.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
We have not treated in over 5 years.
"Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
The oil will stay emulsified long enough to be consumed but the oils usually make the blender so strong smelling that it is no longer going to make your wife happy. Fatbeeman is where I got the idea and instructions. Johnny, do you attribute your treatment free sucess to your VSH breeding alone or do you use other measures? Looking forward to meeting your queens in a couple months.
There are different reasons from wanted "treatment free queens", and what is desirable really depends on your goals.
I think everyone should be looking for queens that have never been treated with fumidil. I believe some of the current books recommend the opposite. Anyone that is producing queens without using fumidil would fit this qualification.
Some want to buy untreated queens to head untreated colonies...looking for success on an "individual queen level". The goal here is to buy a good queen, and to buy another good queen when you need another. I have no criticism for this approach...but one should understand what they are or are not doing. For this, Johnnys queens would be perfect. As he has detailed in the VSH breeding thread, he is propagating from new VSH breeders every year, and mating them with a drone population weighted towards last years VSH breeders. His procedure is demonstrated (in his own operation) to work, so whatever a good balance is with VSH genetics, he has shown he is producing it. Note however, that he doesn't expect this population (its VSH traits, its other traits)to persist...he brings in new breeders every year.
If one is looking for untreated queens as a way to start breeding bees that don't require treatments down the line, I think bees that are selected for survival, production, and temperament without treatments are your best bet.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
Wolf Creek seems to still be accepting orders:
"NOTICE: We were hit by an FT2 tornado on Jan. 30. 2013 and have suffered extensive damage to both our home and our property. We are okay, but right now our efforts are focused on getting back to normal. The phones are out and AT&T tells us that they may be so for another week. If you wish to order, send your requests through e-mail and we will answer them as soon as possible. If we are shipping bees to you, please include your full address along with a phone number. Also include about when you will want the bees. When we get back to you, we will have all your information ready. It may be a week or so before we will be up and running, so please be patient."
Wolf Creek does not claim to be treatment free! Notice this quote from their Philosphy Page:
"We have never used toxic chemicals on our bees. For the last seven years we have used natural oils to strengthen the bees immune system. About that time we switched to the 4.9mm bee and other organic practices"
Read ALL the info before commenting. I have noticed this to be a big problem on this forum. No offense to anyone. Also as to using a blender to mix oil & water, works perfectly. Will stay mixed w/o seperating for months. Try it for yourself.
All things may be lawful; but not all things are advantagous.
The only ones I know for sure are BWeaver and Michael Bush, but Mike is just one man.
If you live near me, I sell treatment free queens and nucs and I've been keeping them for almost ten years. I don't ship.
Vance, I think there are several reasons that we are treatment free. First off is the fact that although we have a lot invested in our equipment we do not depend on bees for a living. If they were to crash this spring we would not loose the farm. This gives us the leeway to experiment if you will with treatment free beekeeping.
We decided 5 or 6 years ago we would not treat and try hygenic/resistant stock to fight varroa. I think that is a big part of our success. Another is our location. We are stationary beekeepers in an area with little rowcropping, thus a very low pesticide usage. We have good forage with a variety of blooming plants thru the year. Its not uncommen for bees to be bringing in pollen during Christmas.
With selected genetics, good forage and low stress our bees have been able to survive without treatment. Remove any of these and it probably wouldn't work.
Deknow's statement made me think of something Richard Adee once said, "Its **** hard to breed from the ones that didn't survive."
"Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
If one is looking for untreated queens as a way to start breeding bees that don't require treatments down the line, I think bees that are selected for survival, production, and temperament without treatments are your best bet.
Deknow do you know who sells these?
Please visit my page, Thanks
We haven't yet gotten around to treating any of our bees, going on 20 plus years now -- I hope we never need to. We raise a few SunKist queens from breeder queens (more each year), open mated in an area saturated with SunKist drones. We also raise and ship queen cells.

Sprint: Higher SoftBank Bid in Doubt Says Bloomberg Amid Host of Spectrum, Regulatory Issues
Shares of Sprint-Nextel (S) are unchanged at $7.19 following a report this morning by Bloomberg's Mariko Yaho and Emi Urabe that an unnamed executive with Japan's Softbank (9984JP) has said the firm does not intend to raise its $20 billion offer for 55% of the company despite a higher $25.5 billion bid Monday from Dish Network (DISH).
The authors note that after raising $3.1 billion in bonds in October to facilitate the deal, the company's debt rating is at risk of being downgraded to junk status.
This morning's report follows yesterday's note by Reuters's Alina Selyukh and Sinead Carew that Dish has asked the Federal Communications Commission to block Softbank on grounds of national security.
At the same time, there has been something of an exchange of words this morning between Sprint CEO Dan Hesse and AT&T (T).
Hesse yesterday urged the FCC to be mindful of the huge spectrum position of AT&T and Verizon Communications (VZ) as it prepares for an auction of 600 MHz worth of spectrum being refarmed from broadcasters, according to a write-up by Broadcasting and Cable's John Eggerton.
AT&T in response shot back that Sprint is being two-faced, with EVP Jim Cicconi telling Eggerton that "It never ceases to amaze me how some executives can go to Wall Street and brag about their unique and massive spectrum position, then come to Washington and claim the exact opposite and then demand the government allocate spectrum to them rather than auction it in an open bidding process as Congress directed."

How To Get At Least
One-Million Visitors A
Year To Your Website!
Louis Allport here ... and thank you very much for downloading this interview. :-)
In this eBook you'll find the complete transcript of the interview I had recently with Neil
Shearing specifically on just one subject:
How To Get At Least A Million Visitors
A Year To Your Website!
Actually, that's a very conservative figure. As I write this Neil's site is getting well over two
million visitors a year! And even more importantly he converts those visitors into subscribers to
his newsletter, and customers of his products.
Here's a little background on Neil ...
Neil started on the internet selling a little
report called "How To Make Money On The
Internet" (which he now thinks is a really
cheesy title!) ... and that was just to make a bit
of extra money while studying at university.
Five years later, Neil's online business has
grown so much that he now has 4,000
affiliates ... 2,500 customers, and over 32,000
people subscribed to his newsletter. What's
most amazing is that it all started from a
business running off free web space!

Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM II Canon: Test resultsTuesday December 06 2011 Lens Review
This new Sigma 12-24mm EX DG HSM II wide-angle zoom for full-frame cameras is a somewhat improved version of the previous lens, the solidly-built Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG Canon.
Let's start off by taking a look at how these two lenses compare when mounted on a Canon 5D Mark II body:
Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM II Canon vs Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG Canon
The most striking improvement for the EX DG HSM II is with respect to chromatic aberration, thanks to the use of FLD ("F" low dispersion) glass, specially formulated to simulate the transmission properties of fluorite glass (i.e., lower refractive index and dispersion as compared to other optical glass). There is marked suppression of chromatic aberration at 12mm, particularly in the image center, and at 24mm, chromatic aberrations completely disappear.
Vignetting, transmission, and resolution for the HSM II also show improvement over the earlier EX DG lens, but nowhere near as dramatic:
- For vignetting, there is a net improvement at the 12mm focal length (e.g., f/4.5-5.6), and an overall improvement at all focal lengths from f/8 onwards.
- Transmission results remain low for both lenses, with a scarcely-worth-mentioning improvement of only 0.2 stop for the HSM II.
- For resolution, the HSM II generally better in the center and worse on the edges (for example, at 17mm, f/5).
One surprise, however, is that the HSM II scores worse for distortion than its predecessor. For both lenses, distortion is visible at 12mm, but negligible at higher focal lengths.
Although the EX DG HSM II's DxOMark overall score (11) beats the EX DG's score (10), obviously the improvements are not so significant as to induce EX DG owners to run out and replace their old lens with the newer model. For photographers looking for a wide-angle zoom and trying to decide between the HSM II and the EX DG, it is not clear that the improvements to the newer model are worth the more than 50% markup in price over the previous version.
Further readings for the Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM II Canon: Test results
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Sigma's new 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM II Nikon made some gains over its predecessor, including a dramatic improvement with tapping down chromatic aberration. But the lens also stumbled, regressing in our lens distortion category.

Maybe not a great time to sell, everyone is spent out following the holidays. I'm interested in Rattlor, Zodak, and Roboto -- but not right now.
If you wait a few months, Dr. Kain will probably be rebuilding his collection
I have tried in the past to sell my 200X collection with mixed results. So I'm trying again and hoping that taking offers instead of listing prices will help. Also, I'd be happy to open these if you want to save shipping. These are all currently MOC. There are no paint variants (no green Trap Jaw or gold Ram Man for example) but I have no idea if any of them have small variations. I only collected the most standard, iconic figures - no Smash Blade or Disco Ball figures. I will try to list which ones came on green cards. If it is not listed, than its a red card. No beasts, no vehicles.
Beast Man (SOLD)
Buzz Off (SOLD)
Evil Lyn (SOLD)
Fisto (green) (SOLD)
General (Rattlor) (green) (SOLD)

Skeletor (SOLD)
Stratos (SOLD)
Sy-Klone (SOLD)
Trap Jaw (pending)
Tri-Klops (SOLD)
Two Bad (SOLD)
Whiplash (SOLD)
Zodak (green) (SOLD)
I'm pretty sure that's it but if I find anymore I will post them. I will listen to ALL offers on the lot, a group, singles, MOC, loose, whatever! They really need to go so take advantage of my urgency! At least I know they'll be going to other Orgers! Let me put it this way - if they do not sell this time, I'm donating the entire set to Goodwill.
I'd prefer to ship within the US but, again, I will listen to ALL offers!

There is no such thing as Uncle Skeletor.
----> My Wants & Haves list! <----
You are most likely right Phil, thanks for the consideration. But like Mysterio said, I've tried before to sell this collection (never liked 200X, just trying to be a completionist!) so now they absolutely have to go. Need more room for Classics and my packaged vintage stuff - which is the MOTU I really like.
I don't mind losing money on them - I know they are going to good homes and Orgers that really like 200X will appreciate them.
I did really like the 200X Zodak and some original characters like Evilseed and Calix. With the excellent MOTUC Zodak, I'm good there. Fingers crossed for the others. The lack of articulation and the "crotch-out" McFarlane-esque poses just ruined these 200X for me. I don't consider them hyper-anime, I consider them hyper-Spawn figures.
PMs returned and list updated with potential sales! Thanks to everyone who has looked!

Mysterio! Clear out your inbox or I can't send you any more PMs!
Six gone. I'll entertain offers for another few days then I have an idea about where the rest are going.

By Christi Fish
Public Affairs Specialist
(April 21, 2009)--The UTSA Institute for Conventional, Alternative and Renewable Energy (ICARE) will host the Innovations in Energy Forum from 3 to 5 p.m., Wednesday, April 22 in the Institute of Texan Cultures Connally Conference Room on the UTSA HemisFair Plaza Campus. Free and open to the public, the event is the inaugural seminar in a series.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Energy experts Les Shephard and Carol Tombari will keynote the inaugural event. The ICARE series will explore various energy topics in alignment with UTSA's strategic plan, "A Shared Vision: UTSA 2016."
The institute was established last year to provide a forum for industry, government and academic leaders to collaborate on solutions to the energy crisis. Nearly a year ago, the inaugural forum, North American Energy Summit, brought together more than 100 energy leaders to discuss fossil fuels, renewable energy, nuclear energy and green business practices.
"UTSA recognizes the need for a collaborative energy forum in South Texas," said Robert Gracy, UTSA vice president for research. "ICARE allows UTSA researchers to join with others in industry and government to explore and address global energy trends, best practices and new policies to address the energy challenges we collectively face."
Les Shephard will speak on "Securing America's Energy Future: A Role for Science and Technology." He is vice president of the Energy, Security and Defense Technologies Division at Sandia National Laboratories, a multi-program, science-based engineering laboratory in Albuquerque, N.M.
Shephard is engaged in pursuing technology solutions that address 21st century energy, water, security and environmental challenges that contribute to U.S. economic prosperity and global stability in regions of high strategic importance. His division at Sandia Labs is pursuing fundamental and applied research leading to breakthroughs that contribute to better understanding of the energy-water nexus, characterization of the geosphere, development of alternative transportation fuels, responsible environmental stewardship and advancing renewable energy options. The organization is working with groups in more than 100 nations to help create a peaceful and free world through technology.
Carol Tombari has specialized in energy and environmental policy and programs for more than 25 years. She is manager of stakeholder relations at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, where she works on electric utility and economic development issues. At UTSA's April 22 lecture, she will speak on "Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy: Jump Starting America's New Energy Economy."
Tombari's career includes directing for a decade the State of Texas energy efficiency and renewable energy programs, working for two Texas governors and serving as an electric utility regulator and natural resources adviser to the lieutenant governor.
Reservations for the ICARE Innovations in Energy Forum are not required, however seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, contact Yvette Rivas at (210) 458-6817.

What is in this article?:
Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
')})(); //-->
Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
The mc cable is supported by cable ties, attatched to the conduit. That is a code violation.
he is correct by saying that the securing method used of plastic ties are not code
That metal cable does not look to be suitable for electric. It looks like a gooseneck for microphones. I doubt if it's UL listed.
Right EMT not properly supported by a strap 36" from box or termination. MC/FMC is not allowed to be strapped to the EMT also communications cables or wires shall not be strapped, taped, or attached by any means to the exterior of conduit or raceway as a means of support."
OK the first picture did not show the full length of the PICTURE. 1st picture only shows about 4 foot of MC or FMC
cable ties are not an approved method to strap, and it appears the emt that it is strapped to has a coupling, wich would mean it is probably not properly strapped.
the metal flexible conduit is tied in IMC with cable tie and cross under.

Expert Advice
HOW-TO: Red-Violet Color Technique by Katey-Bug Browne
Sebastian Urban Design Team member Katey-Bug Browne recently got a lot of the positive feedback for a color technique and formula she created. She posted the finished product to Instagram, and the image was quickly shared to Wella Ed's Instagram and "liked" more than 700 times. Go Katey!
In exchange for all the recognition she was receiving, Browne shared her color technique with the world. She used Wella Color Touch .80oz 44/65 + .50oz 66/45 + .25oz 5/66 + .50oz Special Mix 0/45 + 4.5oz 1.9% emulsion to achieve a red-violet hue.
Browne says it was a traditional all-over Wella Color Touch technique; she divided the hair into four sections, started in the back and applied color base and ends. The color processed for 20 minutes, then she rinsed and blow dried the hair. Browne says Color Touch is what gives the style its shine.

Former Missouri senator suffers "widow-maker" heart attack
Leader says he was saved because his neighbor knew CPR
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A former state senator is recovering Monday night after suffering from a heart attack.
Former state Sen. Joe Moseley is using his experience to encourage people to learn the life-saving techniques of CPR that saved him.
"What is so amazing is he went from a flat-line on Saturday to coming home on Tuesday. How is that even possible?" Joe Moseley's wife asks.
Moseley went for a ride with a local bike group and neighbor Saturday. Breaking from the group, Moseley and his neighbor took a shorter route.
"When we were getting close to New Haven School off Olivet Road, he was concerned about the way I was acting, " Moseley says.
The neighbor then asked if Joe was having any chest or arm pain. Moseley thought it was just the cold air causing him problems.
As soon as they arrived at New Haven School, Moseley collapsed and his neighbor began to perform CPR.
Mosey says, "He was yelling loud enough at me to breathe because I wasn't. He said I was an unattractive blue color."
Across the street someone called 911, and within 10 minutes a fire truck and ambulance arrived.
They shocked his heart and immediately took him to University Hospital.
The doctors told Moseley a blood clot caused the heart attack.
University of Missouri paramedic Jay Hamner says he thinks everyone should be trained in CPR.
"Anyone physically able to do CPR needs to be trained in CPR and know how to do it because you never know in a moment's notice when you will be asked to perform that life-saving measure," he says.
The technique to perform CPR has changed over the years. Instead of doing chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth, the proper technique is now just chest compressions.
Moseley says his bike club has vowed to become certified in CPR in the near future. Moseley plans to become CPR-certified after his first-hand experience with it.

Apo A-1, apolipoprotein a-1
This test measures the amount of apolipoprotein A in your blood. It helps evaluates your risk for cardiovascular disease.
Apolipoprotein A is a protein carried in HDL ("good") cholesterol. It helps activate the process for HDL to remove bad types of cholesterol from your body. In this way, apolipoprotein A can help to reduce your cardiovascular risk. Although apolipoprotein A levels can be measured, it's more common to measure the HDL and LDL ("bad") cholesterol when looking at cardiovascular risk.
You may have this test to see if you are at increased risk for heart disease. This test is not used as commonly as a lipid profile, which measures HDL and LDL cholesterol. But some studies suggest that apolipoprotein test results can tell your heart disease risk at least as well as a lipid profile.
This test may also help your doctor fine-tune your risk if you have a family history of heart disease.
Your doctor may also order tests that measure:
Lipid profile
LDL cholesterol
HDL cholesterol
Total cholesterol
Apolipoprotein B
The accuracy of your heart disease risk improves when both apolipoprotein A and apolipoprotein B levels are measured and looked at together.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Results are given in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). A normal level is greater than 120 mg/dL.
Your apolipoprotein A levels may be high if you:
Have familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia
Have a genetic disorder called familial cholesteryl ester transfer protein deficiency, or CETP
Take medications containing excess estrogens
Take niacin
Take statins, a type of cholesterol-lowering medication
Lose weight
Your apolipoprotein A levels may be low if you have:
Familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia
Tangier disease
Hepatocellular disorders
Nephritic syndrome
Chronic renal failure
Coronary artery disease
Smoking cigarettes, taking diuretics, or taking medications that contain androgens can also cause lower levels of apolipoprotein A.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Cigarette smoking can affect this test. Certain medications can also affect your test results, including:
Medications containing estrogens
Medications containing androgens
Tell your health care provider if you smoke or take any medications regularly, such as statins, diuretics, or hormone medication. You may need to stop taking some of these medications for the test. In addition to these drugs, be sure your doctor knows about all other medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

Has anyone else noticed that MR has Winter 2008 as the ship time for the Boba Fett helmet? Are they talking winter 08 as in Jan/Feb or Nov/Dec?
ya, and really winter goes until march or so.... .....so they can take there sweet time.
next you will see srping of 09" up there
i can't imagine why anyone is surprised by MR ship dates slipping... have they ever released a bucket on time? or right on the first try?
i really appreciate what they try to do, but the seem to fall flat the first few times they do anything.
yeah, I pretty much expected mine to be a few months behind schedule before I even ordered it.
So Shipping is winter now?
Why am I not suprised, I better get my number helmet and plaque this time.
Well you know it will have to be by March since that is when their contract says that they have to have all of their Star Wars stuff out of there.
The contract means nothing if they were licensed for the product in the past. They have full right to sell of the remaining product and finish and sell all of those in production. They just can't make anymore than the original run.
Master Replicas must stop manufacturing SW-licensed products after December 31, 2007, and they must stop shipping SW-licensed products after March 31, 2008.
Of course, resellers will still be selling already-shipped MR products after that, but any unshipped SW items in MR's inventory after 3/31/08 would probably be destroyed, or sold to the next SW licensee, depending on the terms of the contract.
