Yes fully intend to give the boxes going to winter every reasonable chance to make it through winter
Yes fully intend to give the boxes going to winter every reasonable chance to make it through winter
Yes it is, My intention is to make the splits and hope the fall flow is enough, But the backup plan is to combine the weak nucs if needed and winter the rest taking all necessary precautions I.E. fondant/candy boards ventilation etc
Interesting. I was wondering if adequate feeding would be a sufficient substitute in absence of a fall flow. Looks like the answer is yes, although, I'm sure there are 100 caveats to that too.
We won't have the hives or space to do this first year, but I'd be interested to see how your plan works out and maybe try to pull it off next year.
Plans are nice, but the bees seldom do what you expect when you expect it. They may take off faster than you think, or slower. You may be able to do more splits or none. I'd play it by ear.

The truth is I got the inspiration from Mel Disselkoen and his site and Video I seen on YouTube. On how he did his splits in spring summer. I figure if all else fails I can recombine as necessary and go from there. Even if I can get same number I started with or one two extra hives to take-off by next spring I think would call it a success / lucky.
if it works for you thats the way to do it.you could do the same thing later and not have it work. hhhhhmmmm!
thats the way i roll.
yeah i would recommend just buying 5 or more NUCS and splitting what you can. bottomline is that you cant rush them or count on what you think may happen. and the colony just needs to be acclimated and over wintered to strengthen the colony and queen. im not being negative and i only have a year and a half experience but i tried to do what you are looking to do and it just doesnt work out like it sounds. not to mention that you are counting on just splitting your brood boxes up. you have to remember that a colony needs certain things in those frames to make it. brood,nectar,honey,pollen,eggs,queen cells,royal jelly.............. its pretty involved my friend.
Thankyou I will take your advice and seriously consider it. That is why I posted it on here to get the input from different people and see what the general conscious is on the idea I posted. thanks again
6010 - I'll chime in with Throrope, Daniel Y, and Michael Bush. That first spring split is most often an easy one on good years, that second split doesn't usually happen without making a colony that peters out before the next year is through. It is often better to build a strong colony. You'll get to know by how many bees are coming and going out the front opening before they swarm after a couple years, and by listening very carefully, when it is time to split. Feeding makes a difference, but not like a nectar flow.
I'd recommend a few things - 1) read Dr. Lawrence John Connor's book, Increase Essentials, 2) re-queen using a Laidlaw-type queen introduction cage (photos in his book, Contemporary Queen Rearing), 3) stay equipment ahead of the bees.
Many of us had the exact same dream - getting into a business that can quadruple itself every year. It can happen, it just doesn't happen very often, but a 4-box tall, over-wintered colony can be split into 6 nucs! Which method is more likely to put you waist-deep in bees?
We refine our skills with many years' experience to get to know the answers, and the best beekeepers have made the most mistakes, but learned from them! And they stuck to it, after a lot of stings and frustration. Good luck!

Thank-you for that I see your point and completely understand where you are coming from, I do have a dream a very ambitious dream that may or may not get shattered, but I will am willing to try with the help of people like you giving me pointers along the way . as far as the second split I will not do anymore splits then what I think the bees can handle. I can not make a large bee population of bees if I kill them off
well just as an update this weekend i just bought 6 used deep boxes with empty frames for $60 from an old state inspector boxes where in good condition and frames half of them year old, now have to get tops and bottoms ??????????????????
Rick Kumer
Good going - there's 3) stay equipment ahead of the bees!
Did you read 1) Larry Connor's book Increase Essentials? He really explains the math of increaser colonies, and the differences between a package bee colony with a foreign queen (which rarely is successful enough to make one split) vs. an Over-Wintered Nucleus colony (OWN), which actually has a good chance of making 2 splits.
Have you made a few Laidlaw-type queen introduction cages? There is no better way to introduce a new queen.
Good Luck, buddy!
I like what everyone is writing. Many of you have helped me since I started 3 years ago. I did a bunch of splits because I tried different queen rearing techniques and would try to keep the nice swarm cells I saw. Part of what I experienced was that I needed frames of young brood for the new queen cells to get started so it becomes a balancing act of taking some but not too much from the stronger hives to get the new ones going strong. If I didn't give the queens a certain number of young bees the queen wouldn't take off in some cases. Then I would add some more frames of larvae and then boom the queen would start laying. Making splits taught me a bunch of things and gave me a better eye for spotting queens. There will be a bunch of variables as others have suggested. I just bought Dr. Lawrence John Connor's book, Increase Essentials Thanks for the recommendation kilocharlie
If your packages are excellent I would say you will be able to take from them but it may deplete the number of worker bees in those colonies and that may affect the strength of them as far as their ability to pack away the honey they will need and have to cap. I think it might be easier to do this the second year because at least in my case the second year the bees produced a bunch of beautiful swarm cells and were plenty strong to take some frames from. The package bees I have purchased have done well some better than others but In general in our area the package bees if managed so they don't swarm are just about right to get strong enough to have stores before winter. If you plan to buy queens it will help and if you have drawn comb that will help but if your bees have too much to do it may thin them too much so you will have to keep your eye on the weather and queen strength and how much food they are bringing in etc. I hope it works out for you and the weather cooperates and stuff. It will definitely teach you things and probably provide you with some surprises.
Good Luck!!!
Great discussion here! I am a first year beekeeper getting close to successfully wintering my first hive. I started last may with a 5 frame nuc from Rick at NEBEES and they thrived and grew so fast that I couldn't believe it. I thought about doing a late split was concerned they wouldn't build up enough in time for winter.
I do plan to split them in the spring and I have also ordered 2 packages for March 25th. My goal is to be able to build them up enough in 2 months to be able to sell 2 good 5 frame Nucs, re-queen and still have a minimum of 3 hives.
My existing hive has wintered in 2 deeps and that is what I plan to use for the new packages as well. I'm thinking I can steal a few frames from my existing hive to get the packages going faster, but I do not really want to cut into honey production from my over wintered hive. 😁
Any thoughts as to what i should give the 2 packages for frames?
6010, Give Mel Disselkoen's OTS splitting method a chance. It really works.
Rick, as I read back it looks like I'm trying to hijack your thread. Sorry, that wasn't my intention.

Don't take it personal, we're just debating.
~Big Mike~
And Brady gets less for a spikes up slide. The NFL is coming to a tipping point for me. I stopped watching NBA years ago when It seemed to become an exhibition sport. Now NFL is approaching the same status for me. I'm not so sure I will watch SB. Kaeperdoodle wants to trademark kissing himself??!
If this continues, I may seriously consider selling PSL (like anyone would buy it) and get my butt out on fall and winter Sundays!! Sad.
Anal as they are, rules is rules. Not the first time a player's been done for something like that, and it won't be the last.
The only thing that bothers me is that the penalty is higher than the one dished out to Tom Brady for his slide/kick during the Ravens game.
Illegal uniform modification - $10,500
Willfully striking an opposing player - $10,000
As petty as that might be, I'm tired of seeing some of these players wearing their pants like they are shorts. And how a RB can play without knee or thigh pads is beyuond me.

Reviews of this property
Very nice apartment. Quiet but still very close to the citycentre. Eric is a very nice host. I have stayed twice at this place, and if I come back to Lyon again I will try to stay at this place.
The small apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything you need. The sofa was incredibly comfy! The green shared backyard was nice to look at - unfortunately our stay was not long enough to enjoy a quiet break there. Eric was a great host and provided us with useful tips. So thank you, Eric! We can definitely recommend this apartment.
Stayed at Eric's apartment for a few weeks. The apartment had all the basics and was comfortable. Well located to get around on foot, the proximity to the Rhone makes many of the walks particularly enjoyable. Great value for money. It was very easy to contact Eric which made the stay smooth. Thanks!
Central and quiet apartment
No opportunity is just the sofa
Lots of noise from toilet
Centraal en rustig gelegen appartement
Geen zit gelegenheid enkel de slaapbank
Veel lawaai van toilet
I stay in appartment one week. It's small but nice and clean place. Everithing was very good. Thanks
apartment well placed, clean and functional, can be a lack corkscrew ;-) green space is nice and offers a significant tranquility.
appartement bien placé, propre et fonctionnel, manque peut être un tire bouchon ;-) l'espace vert est agréable et offre une tranquillité appréciable.
This charming appartement provides all you need for a holiday and more. It is situated near to all facilities you need ( supermarkets, bakery, restaurants and bars ) and it is just a short walk to reach the center of the quarter of Croix-Rousse with lots of artists, charming shops, more supermarkets and beautiful views of Lyon.
To reach the center / old town of Lyon it is a walk of just 15 to 20 minutes.
Shortly after the New Year we stayed a few days in Lyon. We lived very centrally located in the Quartier Croix-Rousse. First, we were picked up by Eric at the bus stop and then out to the nearby apartment. At first this was a nice reception. The apartment is very quiet and is well equipped. Everything worked just fine. Overall we were very happy with everything and can well recommend the apartment.
Ulrike and Michael Knauf
Kurz nach Neujahr waren wir ein paar Tage in Lyon. Wir wohnten sehr zentral im Quartier Croix-Rousse. Zunächst wurden wir von Eric an der Bushaltestelle abgeholt und dann zur nahegelegenen Wohnung geführt. Das war zunächst ein netter Empfang. Die Wohnung liegt sehr ruhig und ist gut ausgestattet. Alles funktionierte prima. Insgesamt waren wir mit allem sehr zufrieden und können die Wohnung gut weiter empfehlen.
Ulrike und Michael Knauf
A very pretty and bright studio with a great view. It is also very quiet and you can enjoy the private garden. Excellent location halfway between City Hall and Parc de la Tete d'Or and you find bus 5 minutes from the apartment. I highly recommend it.
Un studio très joli et lumineux avec une vue magnifique. Il est aussi très calme et vous pouvez profiter du petit jardin privatif. L'emplacement est excellent à mi-chemin entre Hôtel de Ville et parc de la Tête d'Or et vous trouvez bus à 5 minutes de l'appartement. Je le recommande fortement.

text: I witnessed one of my hives swarm. I watched them collect in a pine tree to high to retrieve. Then about 15 minutes later, the hive next to the original hive swarmed and collected in the same location resulting in a very large swarm. Has anyone else ever seen this? Will the swarm become one and kill one of the queens? Or maybe leave at two different times? I just wish it was not to high to obtain. I have multiple nucs in the area with lemon grass oil in it. They never seem to like my swarm lures.

Advanced Course Offerings
Advanced online courses are available in a number of different options, chiefly, dual-enrollment, honors, and courses developed under the Advanced Placement (AP) or the International Baccalaureate (IB) programs.
Dual-enrollment courses, also known as dual-credit courses, give students the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school. In developing these courses, providers work with a local college or university to ensure that the courses meet that institution's requirements for students to receive college credit. In some cases, students may choose to take these courses for high school credit only, but those seeking college credit are given additional work (e.g., more writing-intensive assignments) and their performance is evaluated against higher standards (e.g., dual-credit students may be expected to use a greater number of resources or references in a research project). For example, Colorado Online Learning (COL), based in Lakewood, Colo., offers a dual-enrollment option for several of its existing courses. Based on conversations with faculty from Colorado colleges and universities, the program developed an additional set of assignments (and guidelines for the instructor) for those students who want to earn college credit. The course rigor and grading rubric are preapproved by the creditgranting university or college. Should a dual-enrollment student later apply for admission to a different IHE than the one that granted the credits, the second IHE can accept the credits at its discretion.
Honors courses are similar to dual-enrollment courses in that they require students to complete assignments of greater difficulty and often at a faster pace than in regular high school courses. Similarly, they require instructors to evaluate students' work against higher standards. Unlike dual-credit courses, however, completion of an honors course does not result in college credit. Instead, students typically receive additional grade points for passing honors courses, and honors courses are considered to strengthen a student's transcript for college application purposes.
AP courses are intended to give students rigorous content and the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school. Online AP courses are designed by online instructors who adhere to course standards set by the College Board, the not-for-profit membership association that, in addition to operating the AP program, is best known for developing such standardized tests as the SAT. The College Board regularly audits and evaluates AP courses and develops a corresponding exam for each one. Administered every May at designated schools or approved exam sites, the AP exams consist of multiple-choice and free-response (e.g., essays, problem-solving exercises) items. In the month following the exams, more than 4,000 college and AP teachers come together at centralized readings to score the free-response sections. Free-response scores are then combined with multiple-choice scores to form a composite score that ranges between 1 and 5. Most colleges grant credit and advanced placement to students earning a score of 3 or higher. As part of the AP course work they offer, some of the programs highlighted in this guide provide access to the self-paced AP exam reviews from the College Board, which cover course content in test-question format. (An analysis of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study [TIMSS] assessment results suggests that participation in AP mathematics and science courses has enabled U.S. students to exceed the proficiency levels of students from other countries on advanced mathematics and physics tests. 21)
IB courses are offered as part of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, a rigorous two-year curriculum (geared primarily to students aged 16 to 19) that leads to a qualification (i.e., degree) that is widely recognized internationally. The Diploma Programme—operated by the IB, a nonprofit education foundation—prepares students for a university education, with a specific focus on helping them develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from other countries and cultures. While the IB program itself is well established internationally, it is not yet as well known or as widely used in the U.S. as the AP program. But when several American-based international schools that are members of the Maynard, Mass.-based Virtual High School (VHS) expressed an interest in an online IB economics course, VHS picked up on it. In 2004, VHS became the first online course provider to pilot an online IB course, in economics. during the two-year pilot phase (i.e., 2004–06), the course was offered entirely online to 11 students at schools in the U.S., Brazil, and Ecuador. The primary goal was to find out whether students could successfully complete an IB course online. Because IB courses are designed to be extremely hands-on and interactive, with emphasis on inquiry, communication, and collaboration, the challenge of delivering them online is to create this same type of experience in a virtual classroom. As it turned out, all 11 students passed the IB economics examination. Promising findings from evaluation surveys of participating students and school leaders resulted in expansion of the pilot, which, for the 2007–08 and 2008–09 school years, will include additional offerings. IB also is considering expanding its online presence by partnering with additional providers, such as Florida Virtual School (FLVS).
Foreign language courses are offered by each of the six online providers highlighted in this guide. In addition to offering such standards as Spanish, French, German, and Latin, a number also offer Mandarin Chinese. VHS developed its Mandarin Chinese course through its partnership with Shekou International School in China and uses native Mandarin-speaking teachers to develop and deliver the course. COL's executive director recently traveled to Beijing, China, to secure a partner in course development, and Michigan Virtual High School (MVS), based in Lansing, Mich., has partnered with Michigan State University and, through it, with the U.S.- China Center for Research on Educational Excellence, to offer Chinese courses that range from beginning to advanced levels. MVS also has developed an Arabic language course.
While it is typical for online language courses to focus on developing students' reading and writing skills, course designers at Johns Hopkins University–Center for Talented Youth (CTY), in Baltimore, are concentrating, in addition, on teaching "productive speech," that is, developing conversational skills. to better develop students' speaking skills, instructors are incorporating more opportunities for students to communicate among themselves and with the instructor both synchronously (i.e., all parties communicating at the same time) via two-way streaming video and asynchronously (i.e., parties communicating at different times) through audio recordings.
A survey of the use of distance education courses offered in public schools during the 2002–03 school year, conducted for the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology and released in March, 2005, showed that some 50 percent (approximately 2,700) of responding districts that offered distance learning had students enrolled in AP or college level courses. About one-quarter (23 percent) of all K–12 enrollments in distance education courses (for students regularly enrolled in districts) were taking courses in social studies or social sciences; 19 percent were in English/language arts; 15 percent were in mathematics; 12 percent were in natural or physical sciences; 12 percent were in foreign languages; and 12 percent were in some other unspecified curriculum areas. 22 (See Growing Student Interest in Online Learning)
Such are the variety of online course choices that district or school officials who peruse the catalog from an online provider may be tempted to commit immediately. But thoughtful planning and careful implementation are essential if a district or school is to realize the full potential of online learning to help advance a broad array of students toward high school graduation and success in higher education. Part II of this guide explores key concepts to consider when thinking about introducing advanced courses online.
Growing Student Interest in Online Learning
As is happening nationwide, a number of districts and schools partnering with featured course providers, and therefore studied for this guide, have seen steady growth in students' desire to study advanced courses online. Schoolcraft High School, in suburban Michigan, is a small school, reaching its all-time peak enrollment of 430 students in 2006–07. Prior to offering advanced online courses through the Lansing-based Michigan Virtual High School (MVS), it had bused an average of only one student every five years to another school to take Advanced Placement (AP) courses, which Schoolcraft could not offer itself due to the lack of resources (i.e., qualified faculty) and enough students to fill one section of an advanced course. Since partnering with MVS in 2002, Schoolcraft has had an average of 3.5 students per year enrolling in online AP courses. Eighteen Schoolcraft students have successfully completed AP courses through MVS and passed the related AP exam.
Fowler High School, a small, rural Colorado school, also began offering online courses five years ago, in 2002, working with Colorado Online Learning (COL), a statewide online course provider. That first year, Fowler had only one student studying online, and that student was taking a core course. But the following year, all 12 of Fowler's budgeted online enrollments were filled, and one of those 12 students was taking a dual-enrollment course (i.e., an advanced course that meets both high school and local Colorado college and university requirements and standards). Last year, four Fowler students took and successfully completed online dual-enrollment courses, and Fowler is budgeting for additional enrollments, with the expectation that interest will continue to grow. (The NCES publication, Dual Credit and Exam-Based Courses in U.S. Public High Schools: 2002–03, reports that 25 percent of the high schools that offer dual-credit courses do so online. 23)
Small schools like Fowler and Schoolcraft, with limited faculty resources and, at least initially, relatively little student interest in advanced courses, may stand to gain the most from the online option. But districts and schools everywhere are turning to online learning for their students. Virtual High School (VHS), based in Maynard, Mass., and working with schools and districts nationwide and, even, internationally, has seen a dramatic increase in enrollment across the board in recent years. The number of schools using VHS courses has increased by 118 percent in the past five years and the number of students by 154 percent. And students are choosing more advanced courses. Between 2002 and 2006, the number of student course enrollments in AP courses through VHS increased from 18 to 497.
Florida Virtual School (FLVS), serving Florida schools statewide, saw AP enrollment more than double between 2003 and 2006,with enrollments rising from 976 to 2,348. The upward trend included a rise in the percentage of minority students taking AP courses online, from 35 percent of all FLVS AP enrollments in 2003 to 43 percent in 2006. By the end of school year 2006–07, approximately 63 percent of the students enrolled in FLVS AP courses had taken the corresponding AP exams.

Speaking Event: Activism, Liberation and the Fight Against Racism
We invite you to join us in this event that will include a presentation by Greg Thomas a renowned associate professor of rhetoric at Syracuse University!
Millions of people are struggling to find jobs, pay for housing, and obtain access to basic services. Youth and people of color are two of the hardest hit groups. With the rising cost of public education, the lack of good-paying jobs and mounting debt that cannot be paid off, young people are finding that their education cannot guarantee them a dignified future under this economy.
Communities of color, particularly Black and Latino people, face institutionalized racism and oppression in many forms, including increasing incarceration as well as violence or even death in the hands of police. The role of the state in preserving these injustices prevents us from finding real liberation.
We invite you to learn why it is necessary for us to participate in the movements against oppression, how to organize to fight back, and how to bring different communities together to achieve real liberation.


text: I am a first year beekeeper with one hive I started from a package. Things were going great. I recently added a second hive body to my hive as the bees had pretty well filled the first. I opened the hive yesterday and found the bees to be very aggressive. Upon inspection I found no eggs. I then looked for the marked queen and didn't find her. I did find several queen cells on the bottom of the frames of the upper hive body. As I was closing the hive up I noticed a queen in the upturned outer cover which was on the ground. Not my marked queen. I picked her up to place her in the hive but she got away from me and flew. What should I do?

A friend is getting married and wants to give out small honey bottles as favors. Anyone seen any appropriate unique containers? I have the 2 oz bears but they want something a little larger, preferably big enough for a custom label. Any ideas?
A friend is getting married and wants to give out small honey bottles as favors. Anyone seen any appropriate unique containers? I have the 2 oz bears but they want something a little larger, preferably big enough for a custom label. Any ideas?
try looking at:
we use the hex shapes jars. come in different sizes. best price I found was brushy mt. we sell lots of them.
All things may be lawful; but not all things are advantagous.
Agralogix recently began the manufacture the 4 oz. Muth, which will be available around the first week of February. Currently, Blue Sky Bee Supply will be the first supplier to have stock, but there will be other suppliers as well, such as muthjars,com (whose site is not currently active).
Blue Sky Bee Supply is now taking pre-orders for first come, first served, for 4 oz. Muth orders.
PM us (agralogix) directly only if interested in pallet orders for the 4 oz. Muths, which is 180 cases of 36 ct. containers with corks.
What volume are you thinking.?
The most popular container that I get wedding favor requests for are the 4 oz. muth jars (I'm soooooo glad they're available again), the hex jars, and the half-pint jelly jars. Usually they just want me to buy the jars and fill them with honey. The customers seem to like to print and apply their own labels and other decorations like tying on a small wood honey dipper with ribbon.
I just did wedding favors for someone, they bought the jars which were 4-5 oz. and had multi faceted sides like an octagon, maybe even more, with gold lids. We put the label right on the top of the lid so the view of the whole jar of honey was clear, turned out real nice. Unfortunately, I can't say who they ordered the jars from, pretty sure they got them online from some jar manufacturer.
Dadant carries a 4 oz. muth jar. They make great wedding favors.
"Of all God's creatures, only the honeybee improves its environment and preys on no other species."--Haydon Brown
I just seen the 4 oz. muth jar for gifts and they dipped the top in bees wax sealing over the cork. Very very impressive looking with the wax and bow on them.
Mann Lake sells a lot of cute jars also.

Combining two words Ja - Me and Senka - shadow, we come to the translation that is "Me shadow" or "I am a shadow". This girl is extremely attractive and sexy, a bit crazy, likes to have a drink of beer, and like a shadow she is sometimes difficult to catch during cold winter days. But if you can make her your shadow, maybe she would never leave you, at least not on a sunny day

Cloake board is installed-first queen to be grafted has been chosen. I have so many that are exceptional, it was hard to choose. Here she is, a daughter from a swarm I collected near Mt. Rainier in 2011
Overwintered well and has great traits. These photos were taken today.
How's this for a brood pattern on a barley drawn frame
I have a fair amount of mature drones in the hives and a good amount of capped drone brood. Weather has been decent and forecast to be mild and consistent. I didn't graft last year until May 10th.
This one is Italianish looking, but momma produced five very different colored daughters, so I am assuming she was well mated with a good variety of genetics.
You can see the workers are different colors as well. Some with a very wide orange band,some with two colors of orange, red and black, some with darker black striping.
I sold all I could raise locally last year, but it is possible I may ship once I get the mating nucs stocked and the first batch mated. I'll post it if I do.

text: Watching the War Room it is my speculation that we were going to take WR Greg Childs. The Packers had pick 132 and 133. After those picks the Cowboys got excited in the war room and the WR Coach was in the room shaking hands. Then the Vikings chose Greg Childs and all of a sudden the WR Coach was gone and Rob Ryan was in the room. So I think we may have been primed to take Childs but the Vikings got him at 134 so we got S Matt Johnson instead. Again, speculation on my part.


text: I know BBB is not a government organization, and I don't know how helpful it is when you need to find information on a certain company that you suspect is cheating you. I am in Arizona, and I am dealing with a firm in Florida. I have suspicions about them, so I went to the BBB FL site. I was hoping to do a search to see if there were complaints againt them, but I did not see a way to do a search. It sounded like (from the FAQs) a company has to be a member of the BBB for you to find information on them. If they are not a member, then it's no use. Am I correct in this assumption? What other ways are available to check on a company that you suspect is not being honest with you? Sorry, I cannot give specific details of the situation, for personal reasons. Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.

Creating a Recycled Robot Giant - Friday, 3 August 2012
Children are being invited to help create a giant 7ft robot from 1,500 pieces of card as part of a recycling project at Britain's oldest museum.
The Royal Armouries in Leeds is running the summer holiday event as part of its commitment to community and partnership working, in conjunction with not –for-profit, low-carbon expert company, CO2Sense , and greetings card manufacturers, Hallmark who are kindly donating the card.
In a week-long project, from Monday, August 13, to Friday, August 17, children will be invited to colour in sections of card, as museum technicians build a giant robot in The Dojo, in the Oriental Gallery.
Youngsters can also design their own robot on paper and take part in a competition to name the robotic giant.
Downstairs, in the museum's Hall of Steel, CO2Sense will stage an exhibition stand, showing various products made from recycled material, close to a replica of one of the most famous movie robots of all – Iron Man – also currently on display.
CO2Sense helps businesses and public-sector organisations to cut their greenhouse gas emissions and their costs. They work with some of the largest companies in the world to develop projects that will make huge savings in carbon emissions. For more details, visit www.co2sense.co.uk
Royal Armouries Museum director Peter Armstrong said, "We're delighted to be working with CO2Sense in this way and the project will hopefully encourage children to become more environmentally conscious and aware of the world in which they live."
The activity runs from 10am to 5pm daily, Monday to Friday – museum admission is free. For more details about the Royal Armouries' summer events, visit www.royalarmouries.org

An exhibit of early digital art encourages viewers to explore the history of new media
Anna Lena Phillips
An elliptical path of light, composed of regularly spaced dots, interrupts the deep black of a photograph. It spirals around itself, making a shape reminiscent of beating wings or a dancer's moving arm. But this abstract composition, by Ben Laposky and dated circa 1952, has a concrete origin: It's a time-lapse exposure of an oscilloscope's screen.
The photograph is the earliest example of computer art in a current exhibit focused on early computer art. "Drawing with Code," at the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts, runs from January 29 to April 24 and includes visual art by more than 20 artists, along with a few examples of animation art. The show includes recent works but its emphasis is these initial—and often overlooked—experiments in using computer technology for artistic purposes.
"Many of these original people were either programmers or mathematicians enamored with what they could do visually with computers," says George Fifield, the curator of the show, a professor in the Digital + Media department at Rhode Island School of Design, and director of the Boston Cyberarts Festival. The artists used old machinery—a bombsight, in one case—and mainframe computers as their media. Some wrote programs in Fortran (short for "The IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System"), a programming language created in the mid-1950s.
Such artists as Jean-Pierre Hébert and Frieder Nake wrote code that computers implemented using plotters, devices that mechanically "print" computer diagrams and graphics by using two arms, one on the x axis and one on the y axis, to control a mark-making instrument. Rather than attaching the standard ballpoint pen to the plotter, the artists experimented with brushes, graphite pencils and other tools. These artists came by a name for their movement relatively late, in the 1990s. But they're now generally know as the Algorists.
Artist Manfred Mohr, who arrived at digital art via abstract expressionism, made ink-on-paper plotter drawings (such as the one shown at right, p-300b, dated 1980) by writing programs in Fortran IV. Météo-France, the French national meteorology service, let him use a large plotter at night and on weekends, and he tried out his programs there. The resulting image, in this case, is both geometrical and organic, the grid intruding on the black forms and the negative space insisting on being seen.
In many of these pieces, the medium is visible, or at least suggested, in the finished work. The plotter drawings, for instance, have an appealing physicality. Or consider the yellowed border below Laposky's photographic print, which reads "Electronic Abstraction 4" and "by Ben F. Laposky"—not typewritten or printed in a digital font, but in neatly lettered pencil script.
It wasn't just aesthetics that motivated these artists; their chosen media compelled them to explore basic questions about what computers could do. "They were dealing with possibilities of generative grammars," says Fifield, "with the relationship between rule-based systems and randomness. You always had the ability to put a random number generator in a piece of code, but then you had a rule-based structure, so what would the output be?"
Such questions engaged early digital artists and computer scientists alike. "I think that the scientific world, especially scientists who actually used these tools, will find it fascinating to see what artists were using these tools for at the same time," says Fifield. And if the answers artists found for those questions seem like old news, he contends that they are still worth exploring: "People sadly tend to think that new media doesn't have a history—it's always new. Whether you're talking about the history of computer graphics or computer animation or generative poetry, it's always instructive to go back and see what the earliest practitioners were doing."

Confirmed: Nissan NV200 is New York's Taxi of Tomorrow, Debuts in October 2013
The 2014 Nissan NV200 is officially New York City's next taxi. The New York City's Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) vote made it official yesterday. Nissan also announced that it was expanding its partnership with FedEx to test the all-electric e-NV200 in additional global markets.
With the TLC's vote, the Nissan NV200 will be the exclusive taxi of New York City for a decade, starting in October of 2013. Nissan says the new cab, powered by a 2.0-liter I-4 making 135 hp and driving the front wheels through a CVT, will "significantly improve the overall fuel efficiency of New York's taxi fleet," which isn't as impressive as it sounds, considering the vast majority of New York City cabs are currently Ford Crown Victoria sedans that net 16/24 mpg highway/city. The NV200 hasn't been rated by the EPA yet, but will probably net somewhere around 22/27 mpg.
When the NV200 starts hitting city streets it won't just be powered by internal combustion. Nissan is currently working with FedEx in getting feedback on the all-electric e-NV200, which shares its drivetrain components with the Leaf. Nissan plans on expanding real-world testing from London and Yokohama, Japan to Singapore, Brazil, and New York, where the passenger version of the e-NV200 will see service as a cab.
With the announcement yesterday, Nissan also released a video of how it picked the perfect shade of yellow for the NV200 cab. The automaker says it even considered changing the iconic color of New York's taxi fleet from yellow to another color, like purple or green. You can watch the short video on that below.
When the NV200 taxi goes on sale to New York City hacks in October of next year, Nissan will offer two versions - a regular passenger van and a wheelchair-accessible version.

Crest vs Tiger Scheme
Been a while since last been on. So I have a new job working as a sys admin within a secure environment. I am looking to get work to pay for some training and am wanting opinions on Crest course vs Tiger Scheme.
I have been doing some studying on my own as per Dynamic's and Hayabusa advise and learning Python. (Not enough studying time now as have had a little lad) Hence the reason for looking at training courses.
As always thanks in advance.

The discussion about Russian bees and their breeding got me to wondering.
On the one hand, I understand the idea that hybrid vigor results from mixing diverse genes when breeding. I have read that people worry that the gene pool for bees has narrowed too much, since all the bees breed by breeders from breeder queens are limited to a couple hundred sources and varroa etc. has hammered so many bee populations.
Then, I read in Bee Culture a couple months back that people who are using Russian bees stress the importance of have pure bred Russians not Russian crossed with any old drone. The breeders in the Russian Bee Breeders Assoc. stress that they are striving to only produce pure Russian bees. That also assumes that genetic purity is the goal.
Why is it important in the case of Russian bees that they be pure bred? What happens when they are not? Why does hybrid vigor not work in that context? Are the people running the Russian breeding program already doing all the right crosses between bees to get the diversity they want/need?
Not trying to start an argument, just wondering.

Doc Rivers watched his team register its most significant win of the season Friday night, overcoming an early nine-point deficit and withstanding a late charge to beat the defending Western Conference champion Thunder, 108-100, at TD Garden.
"The biggest difference is this time they scores 100 and we scored 108," Rivers said, referencing the 112-100 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday at the Garden. "It's the same game really. I told the guys at halftime and even after the game, that was the Celtics. That's the team that we've been looking for, but can we continue to do it. We've got to do it over and over again. I thought there were some mistakes made, we kept playing. There were some runs, we kept playing. They made a run, we kept playing. No hanging heads, yelling at each other. We played through all clutter, it was like a clutter free game, for us. That's who we have to be."
Jeff Green scored 17 points off the bench in 25 minutes and the Celtics fought off Kevin Durant and the Thunder, when a 14-point lead dwindled to three with two minutes left.
"I thought Jeff Green was spectacular tonight," Rivers said. "It's funny, I think the two plays that I called for him. He didn't score. He scored on all the plays that wasn't his and that's what we kept telling him he has to do. Stop waiting for us to call it, go get it, and I thought he did that tonight. A lot of good efforts. I thought our bench was huge. I thought [Leandro] Barbosa, it's funny he didn't score a point, and I thought his defensive pressure was extremely effective tonight. He has that reputation of being an offensive player. What we have found since getting him, he's a heck of a defensive player. He has the ability to put pressure on the ball. That's something we didn't know. So again, we're still discovering guys on our team, but that was a good effort.
"We just need to play right. It's great to beat Oklahoma, they were in the finals last year, and they're the team to beat, I guess, in the West. But it was more how we played. We played with great force tonight. I thought that was the difference."

The reason I ask is I'm working on some different rounds. I made up some that will work in the PPS-43 magazine and some long ones that I made a special 30 M1 carbine magazine setup for. I first started in an old blowback AR Tok carbine I had and then decided to go to my DI operated Tok carbine when I did the M1 Carbine magazine thing since there was no ejector built into that. The DI Tok carbine functions like a champ with the Sabots without having to change anything like springs or buffer weights.
The picture below is of the two different types of rounds. The shorter ones on the left use 35gr Hornady bullets and 11.o grains of AA#9 and an over-all length of 1.36" -- they fit in the PPS magazines just fine. The rounds on the right use 55gr Sierra spire points and 11.3 grains of AA#9 with an over-all length of 1.57".
The picture below is of the M1 carbine magazine and adapter with a Sabot round in place. The bullet in that Sabot is an older type I was testing with -- a 50 grain Hornady moly V-max that is actually a longer bullet than the 55 grain Sierra spire point.
Loading these sabots takes a little extra work so they go in straight and don't get the plastic shaved. I've fired many rounds for function testing in the DI Tok AR but have not had a chance to get to the range to check if I can get any accuracy out of them. I was just wondering if any body here might have also tried the Sabots?
