Re: For Simon and Bob and others
bcrain... I think i have been to Granville market as well.. it is in north vancouver right? we took the water taxi across when we were out there a few years ago... If it is the one i am thinking of i picked up a bunch of hot sauces and chillies there from a stall run by an older asian guy. It had a nice wine store carrying lots of BC wines, and a really good food court . Another market i forgot to mention is the byward market in Ottawa..in the summer there is a great selection of fruits an veg from both ontario and quebec.

Re: For Simon and Bob and others
I went on a tour of the market late last year and it was wonderful. I only wish we'd had more time in adelaide so we could make better use of the market. If you are travelling there I'd recommend doing the tour (you get a discount voucher for haigh's chocolates that's valid for any store in the country). Also, make sure you are staying somewhere that has cooking facilities. The tour we went on was through http://www.topfoodandwinetours.com.au/d … t-tour.php and it was great.

Framed by a seven-mile stretch of Oregon coast, the breezy community of Rockaway Beach sways to the sound of rolling tides and native seabirds.

Ideal for beach combing and catching sunsets behind the enchanting Twin Rocks, the city is also home to a slew of unique shops and restaurants. Check out the quirky antiques of Trash & Treasures or help yourself to a bowl of creamy clam chowder or crispy fish and chips from The Whale Spout.

So here is the deal. Multiple 2nd year Carni queens failed to build this spring. I chalked it up to the terrible weather and my first year with Carni's, however 5 hives went queen less and into laying workers on me. Yea, it must have happen as I was away and could not get to my hives for almost three weeks in April. Additionally, two more hives produced supercede cells on me in the last two weeks. All these queens were from the same producer and in their second year. So the past couple weeks I have dropped a frame of brood and eggs into these hives. I knew I had to order queens as this was way to many hives to rely on them making their own queens. I order 7 Carni Queens and they arrived today. I was really hoping to see queen cells being constructed from the frames I dropped in last weekend. No such luck and now I am in a dilemma.
I know these queens would just be killed by the laying workers if I tried to introduce them now. My solution was to leave the laying worker hives in place. I took window screen and placed over the one hive body, then a hive spacer with the hole facing the rear and pulled a frame or two frames of brood from one of my queen right hives. The new queens were added to these new splits. I don't know if this is going to work or not, but I know I had almost 0% chance of just introducing the queens to the Laying Worker hives.
My real question is this: If this works and these small splits take off should I try to combine these spits with the old laying worker hive below? Obviously I would check to see if they were still laying or not. I wonder if several weeks of open brood from the small splits above would suppress the laying workers below the screen? Any ideas or thought? I know these are very small splits but each has capped brood that should emerge in the next few days and I added some additional nurse bees.

New beekeeper here....I have a hive top feeder and have 2 questions:
1. I was told to keep my feeder on my new hive even though the nectar flow was in full force. Is this true?
2. I get mold in the feeder and does anyone know how to keep that out and will it hurt the bees if I leave it.

In a world bereft of light, civilization has been forced to live underground in a society based on a rigid caste system. The higher one's social ranking, the higher they are allowed to live. Ryu is a lowly grunt within the government's Ranger forces. On a seemingly routine mission, he rescues a mysterious winged girl in danger.
the story touches a few clichés, the settings are fresh and the characters are
interesting, all supported by effective writing. In terms of pacing, Breath
of Fire follows a linear line through an expansive dungeon with the occasional
save point. While this geography is part of the story, those of you expecting
a free-range style of villages, overworld and dungeon mazes will be disappointed.
But if you want an innovative battle system, then Breath of Fire: Dragon
Quarter is one tasty lozenge. Before battles, enemy characters are both
visible and avoidable. Various preparations can be made against the hordes of
beasts to nab a battle advantage. If you manage to strike an enemy first with
a character's action move, such as Ryu's sword sweep, you are given an extra
turn during battle - a key factor towards victory.
By tossing a juicy rib-eye steak in the corner, you can bait some monsters
away, clearing a path to run through. Or by chucking a few sticks of dynamite
at a big lug, you can knock off some enemy health before the real battle begins.
It's a great way to give players an edge before hopping into battle after battle.
The turn-based battles themselves are like a combination of Arc
the Lad movement and Xenosaga combos. The combat
environments structurally match the standard traveling screens, only from a
top-down perspective. I think there should have been a selectable ground-based
view, so the transitions into battle would be completely seamless. The view
only switches into ground level when your characters attack.
Each character begins with a limited number of points to be spent on moving and attacking. The more powerful the move, the more points it will cost: 10, 20 or 30. By finding a choice attack spot, enough points can be retained to follow through with a combo attack.
The angle at which you approach the enemy doesn't seem critical to the damage made, but placement strategy plays a large part on the defensive end. Instead of spending all your points wailing away at a monster, some points can be conserved towards moving to a safe distance after your attack. There are also attacks that implement setting up trap zones and coaxing/pushing enemies in.
Characters can use as many items as needed during combat without spending
movement points. Yet healing items are limited. In counterpoint to the freedom
of battle, Breath of Fire uses item and save management limitations to
add an extra sense of struggle.
Only a limited number of items can be carried, so items must be prioritized and jettisoned. Game saves can only be made with save tokens - a limited resource. A save can be made while within the dungeon, but it requires quitting out of the game.
your party dies during the game, you can choose between going back to the last
saved spot with partial carryover, including money and party XP (retained experience
points that can be divvied out), or you can choose to start over all the way
from the very beginning with more retained stats. Yes, it's rather unforgiving
and at times painful to backpedal, but the retention of partial stats is a welcome
new idea.
During the game, Ryu gains the ability to turn into a dragon creature. Though
incredibly powerful, the dragon form eats Ryu out from the inside, pushing him
ever closer to death. Whenever he triggers his transformation, a ticker counts
towards 100, when the game will simply end. It's a power to be used sparingly.
Each time you go through the game, whether by forced restart or completing
the game and playing again, more scenes open up and more details are revealed.
While I would have preferred full-on branching and multiple paths, the shorter
total length of the game (about 20 hours the first time through) and the goal
of increasing your character's ranking offer replayability that doesn't feel
too weighty and daunting.
Breath of Fire uses cel-shading, but in a grittier way than Dark
Cloud 2's storybook festivity. It's a 180-degree about-face, with a post-apocalyptic,
rich matte that regulates the darker mood of the game. Even the stylistic character
designs with melancholy eyes and sad limbs reflect the dismal world. The characters
emote with several different facial expressions, but sometimes they look a little
too blank. I wish there were eye movements to add a little more "acting" to
the characters.
The classical soundtrack is well composed and beautiful. The characters do
not have voiceovers, though Nina makes a 'mooing' cry that at first sounds cute,
but by the hundredth time gets irksome.
Between Xenosaga and Dark Cloud 2, there's a whole lot of PS2
RPG love in this last month alone. Xenosaga has a strong, epic story
and a well-developed if more traditional battle system. Dark Cloud 2
has real-time action and a wealth of things to do. Breath of Fire starts
out on the difficult side, but once you get into the rhythm, perhaps dying once
or twice in the process, the game will grab hold of you.
Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter will likely be overshadowed by the wealth
of other PS2 RPGs out right now, but the refreshing battle system is worthy
of props. This good new style marks a bright new direction for the stale Breath
of Fire series, and should definitely be checked out by any RPG fan.

Hello everyone,
I'm bit confused about middle pathway.
1. Does middle pathway mean been happy, but not too happy, or does it mean been neutral (I mean like a robot, not feeling pleasures and not feeling sad either). If you are living a middle pathway life, does that mean you are a cheerful happy person.
2. The reason I ask this is as I understand, buddhism says life is suffering by default. What we feel as happiness is just a temporary cessation of this suffering. I'm basically bit confused about what happiness means in buddhism. If it simply means temporary cessation of suffering. I don't understand why we should try to be happy at all times, because we are going to be dissapointed because suffering is inevitable. Does this mean we have to live sad, but not too sad lives?
3. How important is it to try to be happy at all times in buddhism. I think it is very important, because you can not mediate if you are depressed,it doesn't work. But how can you be happy all times, if suffering is inevitable?
4. Are there 2 forms of happiness in buddhism. One is what I just described , temporary cessation of suffering. Is other form of happiness is simply understanding life is suffering hence not be disappointed or sad about it. Do we call this state peace of mind or happiness.
Sorry I'm finding it difficult to exactly cluster my thoughts into questions. Hope you understand what I mean.

The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that areas designated nonattainment or maintenance of a National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) include transportation planning processes that are consistent with air quality goals included in approved state implementation plans (SIPs) for the areas. This is determined through the transportation conformity process. In short, the transportation conformity process is designed to demonstrate that transportation activities will not cause new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the NAAQS. More specifically, the transportation conformity process requires that any new or expanded local or state transportation projects clearly demonstrate that they fall below the motor vehicle emission budget (MVEB) included as maximum allowable emissions from mobile sources in the U.S. EPA approved SIP. If model-projected emissions of all transportation activities included in an area's transportation plan are below the MVEB included in the approved SIP, the transportation plan is said to "conform" and transportation projects included in the plan can proceed towards completion.

How Canadian Punk Changed the Musical (and National) Landscape
Sam Sutherland | Posted 11.25.2012 | Canada Music
Read More: Punk, Canadian Music, Canadian Punk, Canadian Music History, Canadian Punk Music, Punk Music, Video, Canada Music News
Canada's punk history is worth remembering and worth celebrating. It forms the foundation of a proud alternative underground that has grown and thrived. Punk was the antidote to a staid dominant culture. If the bands on the radio are garbage, start your own. If the bar down the street won't let you play, start your own bar in a basement. And if your city is boring, it's up to you to find a way to make it vibrant and exciting. Punk wasn't theorizing and complaining. Punk was action.

Tomorrow is Bald Eagle day in Utah, and we're celebrating this majestic bird here on the Refuge as well with all kinds of activities, movies, and presentations. I'd thought I'd take a quick minute and blog about a few Eagle Fun Facts that maybe you didn't know!
- Benjamin Franklin was against having the Bald Eagle as the national bird and symbol of the nation because they so frequently steal from each other. He, instead, preferred the very wily and smart (and noble, he felt) Wild Turkey.
- Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) are found ONLY in North America!
- Though still protected, due to amazing research and conservation actions, the Bald Eagle is no longer on the Endangered Species list . . . having been removed in 2007, a great success!
- Utah hosts 25-30% (around 1200-1300) of the wintering Bald Eagles in the lower 48 states. Last winter of 2011-2012, the Refuge's high count was 180 eagles!
- Bald Eagle's second favorite food if they can't nab fish . . . is the slow flying American coot.
- Both eagles in a pair will build their nest together . . . but it's the female that picks the tree.
- Obviously, Bald eagles aren't truly "bald" . . . the word comes from the old english word, balde, meaning white.
- The Golden eagle - another local eagle - is actually not the Bald eagle's closest relative. The "Baldie's" closest cousins are other sea or fish-eating eagles: the African fish-eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer) of sub-Saharan Africa and the white-tailed sea-eagle(Haliaeetus albicilla) of Eurasia.
HAPPY BALD EAGLE DAY and Happy Birding

The A380 is living up to its reputation as the new "queen of the skies," with airline operators expanding their route networks and operational frequencies while benefitting from the aircraft's high reliability.
Nearly 80 A380s are now in service to all of the top 10 international airports. With more than 100 flights performed daily by A380s around the world, these aircraft are carrying a million passengers per month.
"As the legendary – but now venerable – 747 is being retired, our A380 has become the worthy successor, earning its status as the world's new flagship as confirmed by the feedback from both the airlines and their passengers," explained Richard Carcaillet, the Airbus Director of A380 Product Marketing.
He said the A380's demonstrated advantages include the most comfortable, quietest, most efficient and innovative cabin; the lowest noise, fuel burn and cost-per-seat of any large aircraft; the latest technology certificated to the very latest standards; along with superior range and performance.
"As a result, we are clearly seeing 'the A380 effect,'" Carcaillet added. "Its huge popularity with passengers creates higher load factors and average yields – generating higher profits. All of this confirms the increasingly used phrase: It takes an A380 to compete with an A380."

The following items are recommended as valuable resources about Islam and Muslims.
An Introduction to Islam, 2nd edition
By: Frederick M. Denny (Macmillan, 1985) This book provides a thorough scholarly study of Islam as a historical faith, fully contextualized in the history of the Near East.
Bin Laden, Islam, and America's New "War on Terrorism"
By: As'ad AbuKhalil (Open Media Series, Mar. 2002) Lebanese scholar As'ad AbuKhalil examines the roots of the September 11 crisis, the causes for antipathy toward the United States, and the historical relations between the US and the Islamic world. AbuKhalil also reviews the background of US entanglement with the Middle East, and how it catalyzed militant fundamentalist networks that came to perceive the United States as an enemy.
Nonviolent Soldier of Islam: Badshah Khan, A Man to Match his Mountains
By: Eknath Easwaran (Nilgiri Press, Aug. 1999) Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, a Pathan of Afghanistan and a devout Muslim, raised the first nonviolent army in history to free his people from British imperial rule. He persuaded 100,000 of his countrymen to lay down the guns they had made themselves and vow to fight nonviolently. This book tells the dramatic life-story of this heroic and too-little-known Muslim leader.
Progressive Muslims: On Justice, Gender, and Pluralism
Ed: Omid Safi (Oneworld Publications, 2003) This compilation of essays by and about "progressive" Muslims seeks to challenge the notions about Islam held by xenophobic Westerners and extremist Muslims. Topics covered include pluralism, sexuality, gender, and race. It offers insight into contemporary problems faced by Muslims, challenges conservative and fundamentalist interpretations of Islam, and promotes a vision of Islam which recovers the religion's ideals of social justice.
Qur'an and Woman: Rereading the Sacred Text from a Woman's Perspective, 2nd edition
By: Amina Wadud (Oxford University Press, 1999) Fourteen centuries of Islamic thought have produced a legacy of interpretive readings of the Qu'ran written almost entirely by men. Muslim progressives have long argued that it is not the religion but patriarchal interpretation and implementation of the Qu'ran that have kept women oppressed. In Qu'ran and Woman, Amina Wadud provides a first interpretive reading by a woman, a reading which validates the female voice in the Qu'ran and brings it out of the shadows.
Reason, Freedom, and Democracy in Islam
By: Abdolkarim Soroush (Oxford University Press, 2000) In recent years Abdolkarim Soroush has emerged as one of the leading revisionist thinkers of the Muslim world. Translated into English for the first time, this book features a critical introduction by the editors and an original interview that reveals the intellectual biography of the author. It sets forth Soroush's views on such matters as the inevitablity of change in religion, the necessity of freedom of belief, and the compatibility of Islam with democracy.
Shattering the Myth: Islam Beyond Violence
By: Bruce Lawrence (Princeon University Press, 1998) Islamic scholar Bruce Lawrence shatters the myth of a monolithic and violent Muslim culture. Gazing down the corridors of the future, it's easy to see more of the same for Islamic nations: war, poverty, suppression. But Lawrence is optimistic, because he takes the long view, noting how Muslim nations have always been working for better futures, even though they have been shackled with a legacy of violence from Western colonialism and imperialism.
Islam: Empire of Faith
Directed By: Robert Gardner (PBS and Gardner Films, 2001) This two-and-a-half-hour documentary relays the history of the great sweep of Islamic power and faith during its first 1,000 years — from the birth of the prophet Muhammad to the peak of the Ottoman Empire under the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent. Historical re-enactments and a remarkable exposition of Islamic art, artifacts and architecture are combined with interviews with scholars to recount the rise of early Islamic civilization.
The Message: The Story of Islam
Directed By: Moustapha Akkad (Anchor Bay, 1976) This film, starring Anthony Quinn and Irene Papas, tells the story of the first days of Islam. It frames the religion within the context of the society in which it emerged, with an in-depth look at the life and times of the Prophet Muhammad, and relates it to the other Abrahamic traditions.

Senate Bill 1337 aims to protect Idaho's farmers from groups intending to do harm to their businesses
Over the past two weeks, supporters from various Idaho agricultural sectors explained the need for the agriculture security legislation to the Senate and House Agricultural Affairs Committees. Idaho farmers live and work spread out across the land where they are uniquely vulnerable to increasing threats to their safety and security.
Idaho's dairy industry has a legacy of caring for their animals and the land and ensuring that the dairy products they produce are safe and nutritious. "Let me be clear: dairy farmers do not condone abuse-- plain and simple" stated Idaho Dairymen's Association President (IDA), Tony VanderHulst. Adding "The dairy farmer who fell victim to the activist group is well-known for his unquestioned compassion for his animals. He is a true steward of his cows, his land and his community. To see him be persecuted in the public eye for an issue that everyone agrees has been corrected shows the true and clear motivation of these activist groups".
Opponents of SB 1337 who participate in or condone this type of conduct call it an "Ag-gag" bill, to mislead people into believing that the bill will enable Idaho farmers to hide animal cruelty. Testimony before the Senate and House Agricultural Affairs committees has clearly demonstrated that SB 1337 does not prohibit lawful reporting, investigation and prosecution of animal cruelty. There is a hotline at the Idaho State Department of Agriculture to immediately report any abuse or perceived abuse. This hotline can be anonymous if the caller chooses.
Opponents of SB 1337 assert that their interest in exposing animal cruelty overrides farmers' constitutionally protected private property and privacy rights. They argue that anyone entering an agricultural facility should be allowed to enter and record the conduct of the facility's operations without the facility owner's consent. This position stands in stark contrast to the Idaho legislature's enactment of a law just last year that prohibits the use of aerial "drones" to record a person's activities without the person's written consent.
Activist groups seeking to block SB1337 haven't told the whole story. Here are the facts:
- An activist group's employee, masquerading as an investigator, infiltrated one of Idaho's dairies for 19 days.
- The infiltrator took no action to report or prevent the mistreatment of the dairy owner's animals at any point during that entire time
- After the infiltrator left the dairy, the activist group sat on the evidence for 4 days before reporting the mistreatment to authorities for investigation.
- Upon finally learning of the mistreatment, the dairy owner immediately terminated all employees associated with the unforgivable acts.
- The dairy farmer cooperated fully and actively with authorities, and implemented procedures to ensure that no further mistreatment occurs at his facilities. After the investigation was complete and arrest warrants were issued, the activist group sat on their evidence for another 45 days before they began their media campaign to prosecute the innocent dairy owner in the court of public opinion.
Despite their acknowledgement that the dairy owner was innocent of any wrongdoing and took appropriate corrective action, activist groups are waging yet another media campaign to attack the dairy owner and the dairy industry by misleading their supporters, and the public, into believing another incident of mistreatment has occurred. An agricultural Affairs Committee member who supports the bill appropriately summarized how the activist group has crossed the line, by stating the following in her weekly legislative update. "By releasing the footage to the internet, with petitions calling for a boycott of products of any company that bought meat or milk from Bettencourt Dairy, the organizations involved then crossed the ethical line for me. The goal of changing behavior then became ruining a business".
On January 21st of this year, Idaho's HSUS state director sent a letter to the dairy owner prior to SB1337 being introduced confirming the continuing objective of the media campaign to impugn the reputations of dairy farmers, this time as leverage against introduction of SB 1337: "I urge you to work with your fellow Idaho dairy operators (whose reputations could similarly be harmed if this footage were re-aired time and again)." To the Idaho dairy industry the message was clear said Bob Naerebout Executive Director of IDA "do as we demand or we will hurt you and your fellow producer, SB 1337 was introduced because of very threats like this".
Every one of the more than 500 dairy farm families in Idaho practices compassionate animal husbandry and does not condone any sort of abuse towards their animals. The farmers take immediate action when they learn of any mistreatment and do not want to hire anyone that doesn't have the animals' welfare always at the top of their mind.

Saint Leo, Fla. (April 15, 2007) – The Saint Leo University softball team (27-20, 9-9 SSC) fell 3-2 in 11 innings to the visiting Barry University Buccaneers (37-11, 11-4 SSC) in the final game of a three-game Sunshine State Conference series on Sunday.
Barry completed a sweep of the series with the victory, as the extra inning contest was the second of the series following a 1-0 Barry win in a 10-inning game one on Saturday. The start of Sunday's game was delayed three hours because of rain earlier in the day.
Saint Leo was led by a trio of players with two-hit games. Erin Brunt (Sr., Clearwater, Fla.) was 2-for-5 with an RBI, while Ally Maddox (So., Brandon, Fla.) was 2-for-5 and April Slate (Jr., Land O'Lakes, Fla.) was 2-for-4.
The Bucs took the lead in the contest by scoring a pair of runs in the third inning. Saint Leo rallied to tie the score in the bottom of the seventh inning with Slate getting on base with a one-out single. The Lions then staged their rally with two outs, as Slate scored on an RBI double by Ali Flynn (Sr., Miami, Fla.), and pinch-runner Julia Lampe (Jr., Oak Creek, Wis.) scored on an RBI single from Brunt to send the game into extra innings.
An RBI single by Barry's Shyla Rider in the top of the 11th inning provided the game-winning run for the Bucs, and secured a sweep of the weekend series.
Saint Leo starter Ashley Urbanik (So., Riverview, Fla.) tossed her third straight complete-game extra inning loss. She fell to 18-11 on the year, despite allowing three runs (two earned) on 11 hits in the 11-inning contest. Barry's Amber Jack (21-7) was the winner, as she worked the final 4.1 innings in relief of starter Liz Bennett.
Saint Leo will host the University of Tampa next weekend in another SSC series. The teams will meet in a single game on Friday night (7:00 p.m.) and then play a doubleheader on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.

|Life Imitates Art
I guess Ella's been admiring it for a while now because she asked me to make it for her school party today. I thought it was a good idea and totally doable. I used these simple recipes for the cake and icing. Only took me 8 hours! Maybe 10. It's the classic problem of being overly confident in my abilities to do anything. I've baked probably 2 cakes in my entire life yet I expect to be as good as the rest of 'em. I'll learn.
After trying a piece of the cake and realizing it tasted like an actual brick (over mixed the batter!), I did what any deflated baker does: pout on the couch. Ella came up to me and gave me a big hug and said, "Just put a lot of icing on it. That's what the kids like anyway." Problem solved. Love her.
Imitating art rather than trying to make a perfect Martha Stewart cake is way more my style. It's more thought provoking, forgiving, and inspiring. Basically, it shows I'm so intellectual and deep. Always a goal of mine! And even if the cake tastes horrible, it's far better then the taste of oil paint and canvas. I hope so at least.
After the jump: Five of my favorite pieces of art featuring cake. The best is the first one--I'm so happy I found it!

With the global market and rising fuel cost.Why cant a person produce ethanol from honey?
With the global market and rising fuel cost.Why cant a person produce ethanol from honey?
(I have a feeling that this topic should really be in Tailgater! Or, perhaps will soon be...)
Making fuel out of food is a bad proposition for everyone.
It doesn't lower the cost of fuel, but it DOES raise the cost of food. This is evidenced by the price of corn, even in markets outside of the US.
But to answer your question directly, honey CAN be converted into fuel. It would require honey to be converted from a product that sells for, say, $35 dollars a gallon on average. Then fermented, which would make a honey mead, which would sell for about $100 a gallon, give or take. Then you'd have to USE a FUEL to distill it into a higher alcohol content product. All to make a $4 a gallon fuel to burn in your car.
Not to mention, inadvertently you've caused a shortage of honey (by one gallon, in this example), which raises the price of honey for everyone buying it. Whoops!
The economics just aren't there. At least not SMART economics.
Which is why corn ethanol is a bad idea too.
DS (By the way, the view from up here on top of the soapbox is incredible!)
[QUOTE=BigDaddyDS;318724](I have a feeling that this topic should really be in Tailgater! Or, perhaps will soon be...)
Hey Big DaddyDS,thanks for the post.Last time I checked Tailgator was for all none related bee topics,and this topic is about HONEY.
For the sake of argument BD, I'll submit that making ethanol out of honey makes perfect sense. Of course, I'm speculating wildly as I haven't run the numbers.
At first glance, there's a whole lot more potential energy in a pound of honey than there is in a pound of corn so the production costs of ethanol made from honey can't be directly compared to those using corn as a source of starch.
Second, honey isn't a staple food like corn, rice, or soybeans. People don't need honey to survive.
Dulcius ex asperis
a group of people always bring up corn and trying to fill the bottomless gas tanks of the whole country when ever ethanol comes up. i don't care about the whole country and corn is not the only product to make alchohol from. i like the idea of using whats local and can be produced in my own back yard.
all that is gold does not glitter
My thought was to buy all of the overseas honey for the purpose of fuel,wich would drive the price up for honey here in the states.
shouldn't this thread be in the mead making forum?
Mead making,we are not planning on drinking the stuff.
My simple answer is that don't believe we have enough of a honey glut to use the product economically for ethanol production. I do like the idea of turning imported, potentially harmful honey into something other than food! Might be a better use than food for a lot of the imported stuff! It's barely economical to turn corn and other crops into ethanol, let alone a costly commodity like honey. The energy required to turn the crops into ethanol is incredible.
I wasn't really suggesting you drink it, only joking
the point is if you take a gallon of honey and make five gallons of mead it will be something like 10% alcohol
distill that down to pure ethanol you get about a half gallon
so a gallon in a half gallon out
put in two 55 gallon drums of honey get one out
two drums of honey used to be about $1200, maybe more now, the price has gone up
mine costs WAY more because I don't wholesale it
so $1200 for a barrel of honey-ethanol
oil may be $125 a barrel but I know what I'd be putting in my car
did I mention oil has a lot more energy in it per gallon than ethanol?
it just doesn't make business sense
of course neither does corn ethanol
maybe we could get an energy subsidy
then we could become dependent on government handouts
maybe I am suggesting you drink it
So the question is, how much ethanol could be made from a pound of honey if ALL the sugar was converted to alcohol?
Dulcius ex asperis
I'm no expert but I believe that if you use something like champagne yeast (with a high alcohol tolerance) and only use a gallon of honey (you usually use more) the mead will finish very dry with very little residual sugar
it will also be only about 10% since you skimped on the honey
this is what I shoot for in my mead (dry, not 10%)
there are some unfermentable sugars left but they are, umm, unfermentable
maybe you can throw some cellulosic enzyme voodoo at it
bottom line, it ain't gonna work money wise
edit [champagne yeast goes much higher than 13%]
I had the same question (honey as ethanol) and brought it up during a tailgaiter post but we were to busy arguing the worlds problems to actually solve a problem.
From my homebrewing days(way back when I had spare time) I remember that honey is an addative. I used to throw in a pound of honey to boost fermentation without adding lots of flavor. Honey will ferment almost completly when it is dilluted so that the yeast can handle it. I don't at all see why the ethanol industry couldn't do the same as in throw a bunch of honey in WITH the corn.
Also, I would argue that the dollar amounts figured to date in this area are incorrect as they are based on current honey prices without government intervention. IF they jump on honey as they did with corn, then things may look a little different.
Now I suppose the next question is, how much of the sugar in honey is fermentable? I think the actual sucrose content of honey is rather low...The theoretical yield of ethanol from sucrose is 163 gallons of ethanol per ton of sucrose. Factoring in maximum obtainable yield and realistic plant operations, the expected actual recovery would be about 141 gallons per ton of sucrose. Using 2003-05 U.S. average sugar recovery rates, one ton of sugarcane would be expected to yield 19.5 gallons of ethanol and one ton of sugar beets would be expected to yield 24.8 gallons of ethanol. One ton of molasses, a byproduct of sugarcane and sugar beet processing, would yield about 69.4 gallons of ethanol. Using raw sugar as a feedstock, one ton would yield 135.4 gallons of ethanol while refined sugar would yield 141.0 gallons.
Dulcius ex asperis
>> The theoretical yield of ethanol from sucrose is 163 gallons of ethanol per ton of sucrose.
you're still getting something on the order of half the mass of ethanol out of the sucrose you put in
thats with pure sucrose
why discuss honey which would be less efficient, it's 18% water and what's left isn't all fermentable
[edit] we're totally leaving out the energy inputs required for any of these processes
we should eat food and use something else for energy
Last edited by drobbins; 05-15-2008 at 07:17 PM.
Yes, there is still the lovely wax for you guys to fuel your hummers with! And how much energy is lost when slumgum is burned?
But back to the Honey, it certainly could appeal to the World Health Organisation to outlaw honey for food and commence making gas with it! ............Particularly if the honey could be produced somewhere else than in their neighbourhoods.
The World Health Organisation does not like honey, as it is far too cheap and easily accessed as a medicine.
I get a few hundred pounds a week of combs from doing removals and was just wondering today what the viability of making biodiesel would be. All that wax, honey, brood and bees might go to a better use than compost. Well, i do render the wax

[quote user="Redeyejedi"]
[quote user="nycsportzfan"][quote user="Redeyejedi"]Greg Jones 6-1 224 MLB/WLB Jones has been the most productive of all these guys by far but he doesnt have the frameor speedthat that the UNC LB's have. I do have to admit his production was SUH like this year 154 tackles 9 sacks 14.0 TFL 8 QB hurries. I think he projects as a WLB but who knows he could still grow into his body. He isalright in man and zone coverage and has competitive speed but is not fast.He could of came out this year but I think he was smart to comeback he needs the added bulk. People might not agree with me because his numbers are so good but I dont think he is as good as the numbers wouldlead U to believe.While he is alright in coverage State doesnt use him in that role as he blitzes the QB on passing downs[/quote] What do u think of your analysis of Greg Jones from last APRIL of 2010?? THi is what i mean, its cool we can see stuff like this.. U hit some things on the head, my friend, also agreeing with me on a few things though, that u dissagre with me now, about... Very cool, stuff
U know whats funny? I criticized him in the beginning of the year him for being to small and now I criticize him for getting to stiff because of the extra weight. LOL. I may be a little harsh sometimes with these guys I should reign it in a little.Usually when I dont like a guy Im saying I dont like where there being projected.I didnt like the value in the Top 100 like his rating but I do love the pick a lot for where we got him. Now that hes a Giant Im happy about the pick.
i posted this in 2 other spots but whatever
Hes really good at shedding blocks, especially for someone who has a reputation for being undersized. sometimes he struggled to locate the ball and i wish his short area tackling was more explosive but looks like a good player and a very solid athlete. Hopefully he turns out to be a great special teams player
