Here in central Vermont, the rule of thumb for Langstroths is leave a full medium super on top for honey for over the winter.
How many bars to leave in a tbh? 9? I need to take some honey because the hive is full but I don't want to take too much.
Here in central Vermont, the rule of thumb for Langstroths is leave a full medium super on top for honey for over the winter.
How many bars to leave in a tbh? 9? I need to take some honey because the hive is full but I don't want to take too much.
I'd leave as many as I could, maybe 12 or so ? It depends on many things from local temps to the breed of bee you have, and the design and size of your hive.
I had a tbh of 'slovenian mutts' overwinter on eight bars this year. It was a cold winter and on that first warm February day I opened it and found a small cluster and absolutely no stores. Zip zero zilch. The bees were wandering empty combs.
It took about eight pounds of sugar (I made triangular candy boards) to carry them through to the end of March.
If I had it to do over (and I do, I split that hive twice this spring) I'd leave a lot more honey. And I will. This hive has already given me 30 pounds of honey this spring/summer. They currently have ten capped bars of honey and are drawing comb and putting up honey like mad. Once they pass the twelve bar mark I am gonna snag those two bars of light spring honey they are hiding from me. Or so they think.
bakerboy--can you describe how you made the candy board triangles?
thrissle--I'm in the same boat as you with one hive. It had so much brood and honey that I had to pull some honey to make room and some brood to add to a split I had already made from it. And, this same hive had swarmed once, too! But, I also want to be sure to leave them enough for winter. Glad you asked this question
I heated some sugar and water to 240˚ let it cool a bit and then seeded it with a few tablespoons of sugar. This causes it all to re-crystalize, before it cools and sets hard I pour/smush it onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Trim to appropriate angle and prop it up inside the hive.
Sorry for the lack of precise amounts, but I am a baker and this recipe works without really measuring anything. Put the sugar in a pot and add just enough water to wet it all. Stir to check for dry spots on the bottom, dry spots can superheat and burn the sugar. There's no sense putting in too much water since you just have to boil it off anyway.
It is important to 'seed' the cooling solution with solid sugar crystals, this causes it to re-crystallize it to a solid but easily crumbled mass. 240˚ is not nearly hot enough for the cooled syrup to harden by itself.
Thanks, Bakerboy! Is there a reason why this would be preferable to dumping sugar in the bottom? More usable by the bees, perhaps? Also wondering if you use honey in your baking products, but maybe I should start another thread I just made baklava for the first time and with my first honey--wow!
Don't I wish there was even one piece left!! Alas, I'm afraid I put it into my own winter storage
I liked the idea that I could add two weeks or so worth of sugar without taking up too much room. I had a follower board after the last comb, adding a bunch of sugar would have meant moving the board back and I didn't want to give them too much room to heat, February is still mostly cold here.
I think I also wanted to cook something sweet for the bees.
I also made candy boards to feed my bees in HondurasI call mine sugar frames.
The recipe I used is pretty similar to bakerboys. The difference is that I actually made a frame into which I poured the sugar. Mine get pretty hard but the bees chew on it just fine.
One thing that I have heard is that the bees need access to water in order to take advantage of the sugar in this form. They function well in spring in the U.S. (when the bees can begin to leave again) but may not work as well in mid winter when the bees cant journey outside. I have the advantage that the bees can get out to collect water year round down in Honduras (they actually get put on the hives during the rainy season).
My reason for using them seems to be somewhat similar to bakerboys. First, they dont take up much space, especially with the bees that are still in trap hives (only eight or nine bars of space). And one frame seems to be lasting at least three or four weeks. Each frame has about six pounds of sugar. This cuts down on the needed visits for feeding. This is especially convenient for the yards up in the mountains on coffee farms.
Nice work, Tomas !
I can see what I'll be making for this winter. I like the cross wiring, looks like it will hold the candy in place.
I don't mean to be a fuddy duddy but you will want to be careful with the sugar, if you feed to much especially in the fall before over-wintering, you can actually weaken the bees, I worked for a beek this summer and he lost a large amount of nucs, he thought it was because there where to many in one spot and he regularly feeds heavily (in the order of 15,000 a year ). Thinking was bees can turn sugar into a honey substitute but it depletes nutrients from their bodies, this wouldn't be to bad except if there are to many in one location they can't find enough pollen to replenish those nutrients. Most texts I have read suggest only feeding with sugar in an emergency, some say to keep a portion of the honey harvest as feed just in case
I also noticed they would often not touch the sugar antibiotics he would put inside the hives unless the nectar flow was low.

Families remember devestating 1984 tornado outbreak
It was the largest and most devastating tornado outbreak in Eastern North Carolina. The night was March 28th, 1984, it was a Wednesday….Millie Drake and her family had spent the night like any other, watching TV and saying their prayers before bed.
"When we started to pray, all the windows in my house had shattered, and the roof came off, the transformer from outside, it just came right into our house" said Millie Drake.
An F4 tornado ripped right through the middle of their home.
"I just remember him saying everything is gone, and it was, there were no houses anywhere" said Drake.
Right next door was the Martin family, Alice and her husband had just come in from Church.
"He was sucked out with the walls of the trailer, and the girls and I were pinned to the floor and we were taken up from the floor, felt kind of like you were pinned in box" Said Alice Martin.
Martin's husband was pinned under debris. Both families helped each other get out that night, and in the months that followed.
It was the most destructive tornado outbreak to ever hit Eastern North Carolina.
24 confirmed tornadoes, Seven of which were F4 tornadoes, killing 57 in all.
The National Severe Storm Forecast Center, now called The Storm Prediction Center, had all of Eastern North Carolina in a high risk of severe weather that day, the only time a high risk has ever been issued until April 2011.
Storm track 12's Chief Meteorologist Skip Waters was on air that night.
"It was the first time in my life that I was on the air, knowing that there were already people dead" said Skip.
After the warnings were over, he took time off from his weather duties to head out and help in the rescue efforts.
"One of the first things I saw when we got to La Grange was a car upside down, in a tree, with two adults and two children dead" said Skip.
By the time the storms had arrived in North Carolina....they had destroyed the communication tower the national weather service used to communicate warnings.

When there are so many pressing needs here why shouldn't the NATO countries pay their appropriate share of the costs.

Annual Oration of 1980
CME: Boon or Bane
Orator: Joseph S. Sherer, M.D.
Synopsis of Oration:
Dr. Sherer describes the present system of continuing medical education (CME). A urologist, he uses the American Urological Association (AUA) program as a model for CME structuring. He outlines the questions raised about CME, such as whether doctors learn better in one form over another and whether there are too many courses offered now, as opposed to too few a few years ago, and how to determine the quality of courses. A big problem is reaching doctors who need the most CME and who are least likely to seek it out. Also, doctors often do not learn anything from CME because they either do not pay attention in courses or do not attend programs at all. The most important aspect of CME that must be considered is "what does the American physician need 5, 10, 30 years out of medical school, and how best can we deliver the product without waste of manpower? How best can this knowledge be imparted to improve patient care?". The problems with CME raise the question of whether the entire concept should be forgotten, rather than waste the time and money of doctors and lecturers and deal with the confusions of program accreditation and collecting enough CME credits. However, as one physician said, "it is beyond dispute that knowledge can not be used if the physician does not have it," and therefore CME programs must continue.

This wallhanging is a result of the hand quilting class I was taking.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
This wallhanging is a result of the hand quilting class I was taking.
A bit hard to see on my phone, but good job!
How I envy you clever people who hand quilt. I've read that you can teach yourself in around three hours straight. If I sat in one place for that long I'd be flat out moving. I'm sure it would be very relaxing. I did some hand applique and some hand embroidery a while back and was surprised that I enjoyed it.
Your quilt is beautiful.
Very nicely done. I find hand quilting very therapeutic.
Love your hand quilting, always wanted to master that and never was able to.
Beautiful job!
God, Wonderful Family, Great Health, Awesome Friends, Quilting & Chocolates - - What more could a girl be blessed with!!
So pretty!!! I would love to learn proper hand quilting as all I do is jab thru and back while holding the hoop with my kees! This inspires me to work a little harder!
nicely done
Nancy in western NY
before you speak THINK
T is it True? H is it Helpful? I is it Inspiring? N is it Necessary? K is it Kind?
Very nicely done!
Wayne & Gabriele, the married quilters.

Date of Stay: June, 2010
This is our first time staying at Nehalem Bay State Park and was surprised at the lack of privacy in most of the campsites. Thankfully we had driven thru here our last trip down the coast and marked several sites we thought would be good. After staying here site B37 was a good choice! Had bushes that sort of blocked the roadway and in between the campsites. A lot of the others were just right on top of each other. Other than the privacy issue campground was very nice. Clean bathrooms and showers and pretty quiet for such a big campground. Several play areas for kids, beach was very nice and close, and deer roaming around. If you have horses they even had an area for you and your trailers to camp at!
Date of Stay: June, 2010
This is my family's favorite spot on the Oregon Coast to camp. Nice, quiet little state park campground. The best sites are located oceanfront and you have to book them very early to get them. Our favorite is site 63 with full on ocean view. Next favorite is 78, doesn't have full ocean view but is pretty private and has easy beach access. If you got 78 and 80 together it would be great if traveling with friends! The hosts and rangers are great hear and take very good care of the campground. Clean bathrooms and showers!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
So I've been a happy nike+ (and ipod nano) user now since 2007 and its been a great tool for helping become a better runner, fitter, more focused and acheiving goals. I cant recommend it enough. I've spent a lot of time calibrating my sensor to get it as accurate as possible and managed to run the recent reading half marathon with the nike+ distance matching the mapmyrun distrance to around 99.9% accuracy....although I ran the VLM a month later and according to nike+ I ran 28.9 miles rather than 26.2....now this could have been because I spent the entire race weaving, overtaking and taking every corner as wide as possible (charity place meant I started down the back with the slowies), so my gait kept changing, but obviously this meant my pacing was way off.
So the obvious move for me to try and get more consistant accuracy would be to go to a GPS watch, in particular the new nike+ sportwatch GPS (with tomtom gps).
Has anyone else made the move? I've read reviews and it seems just as accurate as the garmin 110 and obviously I have 4 years worth of nike+ running data I could stay with if I switch to the nike+ watch. Is the GPS more or less accurate than a properly calibrated nike+ shoe sensor? The downside I see from the watch is currently when im running, I hit the ipod button my ipod and I get spoken feedback over my music (distance, time, pace) rather than need to look at the watch (and take my eyes off the road), which could be difficult during the night runs. Is this sacrifce worth it for the increased accuracy? It might seem a minor quible but I'd rather not waste £180 if its not going to give me greater accuracy.
The other idea is just continue using my current ipod/nike shoe sensor for training (since its accurate) and just bust out the nike GPS watch on race days? But if im doing that I'd want it to be more accurate over marathon distances for example.
And im aware if I had an iphone (which has gps and the nike+ app) I could have the best of both worlds, but I have a work blackberry that wont be changing any time soon. Unless anyone has heard about apple putting gps in the new nano or touch?
I did an upgrade on my Ipod touch 3rd gen ( i think) and now the Nike+GPS app works on it....I have no idea how.....though the route shown on the map is sometimes off, but the mileage etc is always right. I ran with my husband and his Iphone with the same app and they were identical results.
With regards to the mapping/route bit of it, if i am running along streets it is ok ( i guess it might be bouncing off wifi signals) but run in Windsor great park it gets a bit confused.
Hope thats of somehelp to you.though i secretly covet the watch
Hmmm see I have a touch but everywhere i've looked says it doesnt have a GPS sensor. Although its only a 2nd gen. Thanks, I might look into that. I think im probably asking for too much, but didnt think I was alone wanted a nike/apple/gps hybrid set up.
Its the shame the nike+ sportswatch doesnt have the ability to talk to your ipod wirelessly (like the old nike+ remote watch did) and let you use them both in tandem. So when its raining I can hide the ipod away and use the watch for the pause/stop/change tracks and still get all my spoken run feedback. I spoke to the nike people at the VLM expo saying I thought they missed a trick with that (since the wireless technology is there as both devices can talk to the polar heart rate monitor) but they explained that the nike+ ipod side of things is actually an apple owned project, rather than the nike+ sportswatch and sportsband is a nike project and the two teams are working in parallel making devices now.....I assume because nike want a bigger cut of the nike+ hardware profits?
actually just found my own answer, there is no gps chip in a touch because all the usual map apps need an internet connection to work, but you can buy a case that has a small gps chip that turns the nano into a sat nav, which in turn I'd hope gives the nike+ app GPS.
The case (similar price to the watch though http://about.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=796497006/search=magellan+toughcase)
Otherwise when you run, its tracking you using wifi hotspots (which is actually pretty clever....it just wont work in a field)

My parents have just discovered a very large feral hive next to a house they are moving into. I would like to construct a hive for them and move them to a safer location. I have about 2 weeks to acomplish this so I don't have the time between work and other current obligations to read up as much as I like to when starting something new. Once I get them to a safer location, I will have the time to read more. I have downloaded plans for the Langstroth hive and plan to construct this hive.
However what I really need to know is how to move this hive from it's current location to inside the new hive box. What things I need to look out for (like killer bees though I am not to afraid of this) do I need to capture the queen bee and any info that you can give advice on.

Hoku facility sees lifeline - idle, but not abandoned
POCATELLO, Idaho - The gates of the unfinished Hoku plant most likely will not be sitting idle for too much longer.
The Bannock County Development Corporation is discussing options for the plant's future with Hoku's Washington-based contractor, JH Kelly.
Since Hoku filed for bankruptcy in early July, Kelly has been trying to figure-out ways to salvage the facility in order to bolster the community's economy.
"We're here to work with the community," JH Kelly Senior Vice President Mark Fleischauer said. "We have always been supported by them and we just want to try to make the best out of a bad situation. We can't right all the wrongs of Hoku, but we can try to contribute as best we can."
Fleischauer also said his company already paid the 543 Idaho employees who helped build the facility, along with the 104 subcontractors as well.
The development corporation's executive director John Regetz said he is pleased to see JH Kelly trying to create the best situation possible since the company is willing to invest its resources to make sure the situation lends itself to ensuring the best outcome.
"They've reached out ahead of time to plan on this and then they're willing to work with us and collaborate with us," Regetz said.
In efforts to attract big businesses to the facility, Fleischauer noted JH Kelly stepped-in and volunteered to foot the $70,000 bill each month in the plant's upkeep costs because he said he does not want to leave the facility abandoned.
Regetz also mentioned bringing a new polysilicon producing company into the old facility would be ideal.
"Polysilicon production is everybody's first choice because it would create the most jobs, it would employ the investments that have been made there, and hundreds of millions of dollars would be utilized fully," Regetz added.
He said, initially, an addition of 200 jobs were proposed for operating the facility as a polysilicon producing plant.
Fleischauer said the important point about Wednesday's meeting was the fact that he wants to leave a "footprint of integrity" and honor all commitments made with the community.
The other, less-viable option for JH Kelly, would be to tear-down the plant and sell it for scrap. Fleischauer said, he hopes this will never happen.
He said the plant is currently now under the control of the trustee and it is his responsibility to maintain and maximize its value for the creditors.
But, Hoku did not leave much behind, including a non-existent trust fund to take care of the leftover, unpaid expenses.
On Friday, Fleischauer said JH Kelly will give the trustee $20,000 during the hearing in Pocatello, where they will ask the judge to approve that transaction.
Regetz said the reason why Hoku initially went under, was due to the plummeting price of polysilicon as the plant was being built. At $400 per kilogram, he said the price now sits at a low approximation of $30 per kilogram, which reflects the price it takes to produce it, leaving a poor margin there, if any.
At that time, there was also a tremendous spike in polysilicon-producing companies worldwide.
So far, no further details have been given about the bidders or who will be moving in. But, Regetz agreed that with JH Kelly's bold financial move to salvage an abandoned plant, there has to be a positive indicator - a certain degree of financial confidence, if you will, that something big will be moving in, nonetheless.

June 16, 2011, Washington, DC: Okay, so maybe it seems an odd choice to begin a year-long study into the concept of home with nearly three weeks of travel. But here's why it makes sense to me: In 32 years, I have lived in 27 houses or apartments in a dozen cities or towns. There is no one place I call home. I grew up with parents who spent weekends visiting open houses. I love to rearrange furniture. Movement has always been part of the home equation.
And so I begin this project with travel. For the next 365 days, I will study the sociology of our homes, our neighborhoods, and the power of physical place in a virtual world. I will visit each of my past hometowns and learn about the pulse of the neighborhoods in which I have lived, from Montreal to San Francisco, Chicago to New York.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello. Thank you for coming to JustAnswer with your question, and welcome. I'm sorry you have waited such a long time for a response. If you still need assistance, can you answer this:
Do your hand lesions look similar to this?
OK. The picture I sent you is from a patient with discoid lupus.
There is also a form of lupus that actually causes blisters. To confirm the diagnosis. this, your doctor would have to biopsy the lesions. There are also several medications that can be effective for this condition. If your doctor has not considered these, perhaps you could discuss it with him/her.
There is quite a bit of information about this condition, so I will give you the link. I think you can access it without registering for the site, but if not, registration is free. It's a good source for information, though a bit technical. Here's the link:
Bullous Lupus Erythematosus
There are several sections to the article, with work-up and treatment included. You might want to share it with your doctor, but your rheumatologist is most likely familiar with this disorder. Most of the medications that are used have side effects that you would want to discuss with your doctor before proceeding also.
Also, since this most likely a dermal manifestation of the disease process (or even if it is caused by some other condition), it would be good to have this evaluated by a Dermatologist.

1. The Local Advantage - Take advantage of a broad spectrum of technologies and tools to support the sale of your home from start to close.

5. Video Advertising - Video is one of the fatest growing internet marketing tools. Once your house is prepped for showings, we will go through and create targeted videos that will then rank on Google for certain targeted keywords. The potential audience for these videos is limitless and could be the thing to get your home sold faster than traditional methods.

By Richard Clarke
Theo Walcott believes Arsenal's new 4-3-3 formation will give him more scoring opportunities this season.
The Arsenal striker made an eye-catching return to the team against Blackburn on Sunday. The 20-year-old hit the fifth goal in the 6-2 win over Sam Allardyce's side in his first appearance of the season after injury.
Afterwards he set his sights on more and believes Arsène Wenger's new system could provide them.
"I haven't [set a target] really but I would be happy with 10 goals or more," said Walcott. "We'll see.
"I think this formation gives you more license to go forward so I should be among the goals a bit more this year.
"There is a lot of interchanging throughout the positions, which gives defenders problems because they come across a different player. It's a good formation.
"In the Under-17s at Southampton we played this exact formation and I seemed to do quite well on the right side. Hopefully I will fit into it quite well again."
Walcott was one of six different scorers on Sunday. In all 15 players have hit the net in Arsenal's dozen games so far. The latest on that list believes this can only be good for the team.
"We have scored so many goals through a lot of different scorers so we are not just relying on one player," he said.
"It's always nice to get on the scoresheet but it makes your job easier if you are going back into a flying Arsenal team."
Walcott's 21-minute cameo was timely. A back injury meant he only figured in one half of one pre-season game. He prepared for the Blackburn match with an hour against Olympiacos Under-20s last week.
"It's not nice being injured," he said. "You just want to be back on the pitch playing with all your mates like you do every weekend and get into the rhythm of things.
"I needed that game behind closed doors just to get me going. I haven't really had a pre-season so it's nice to play that sort of game to get your fitness up and see what your levels are like.
"To get back into the routine of things was great and it was fantastic to be involved.
"It was just good to come off the bench and be playing in a brilliant team again."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Well, I just bought my first WRX. Been a Subaru owner for a few years, and one of my best friends is an STi owner. I am here to soak up knowledge. I am pretty much a noob in the car world. Normally, i fix my cars with my wallet.
I bought a 2002 Impreza WRX, silver colored, with black rims.
Like I said, I am a noob, and won't be able to drive it for a couple more months, until I get home from Iraq.
It has these mods already installed.
STi Turbo VF39

Originally posted on Fox Sports Carolinas | Last updated 8/28/12
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Casey Kelly combined with three relievers on a four-hitter to win his major league debut and Yasmani Grandal hit a two-run homer for the San Diego Padres, who beat the Atlanta Braves 3-0 on Monday night to extend their season-high streak to eight straight wins. The 22-year-old Kelly was the key player among the four obtained from the Boston Red Sox in the trade for Adrian Gonzalez on Dec. 6, 2010. Kelly also got his first big league hit, a single up the middle with two outs in the fifth. The Padres loaded the bases before Chase Headley struck out. Pat Kelly was at Petco Park to watch his son's debut. Pat Kelly, who played in three games with Toronto in 1980, is a former manager of the Braves' Triple-A team and currently manages the Reds' Rookie-level team in Billings, Mont. Kelly (1-0), promoted from Double-A San Antonio earlier Monday, allowed three hits in six innings, struck out four and walked two. He was out from April 12-July 23 with a strained right elbow. Kelly allowed a double down the right-field line to Jason Heyward with two outs in the first and then got Chipper Jones to line out to Headley at third. Kelly walked Freddie Freeman leading off the second and then allowed Dan Uggla's one-out single before retiring the next two batters. The Braves hit into double plays in each of the next two innings, and Kelly had a 1-2-3 fifth and sixth. Grandal drove in all three runs for San Diego. He homered to left off Paul Maholm for a 2-0 lead in the second, his sixth. Carlos Quentin was aboard on a leadoff walk. Grandal singled in Headley in the eighth inning before getting thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. Luke Gregerson pitched the ninth for his second save in five chances. Maholm (11-9) allowed two runs and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings, struck out five and walked one. San Diego's winning streak is its longest since April 16-24, 2010. NOTES: To make room for Kelly, the Padres optioned RHP Brad Boxberger to Triple-A Tucson and transferred C Nick Hundley to the 60-day DL. Hundley is scheduled to have surgery Wednesday to repair torn a meniscus in his right knee. Hundley was placed on the DL on Aug. 17, retroactive to Aug. 16. He was batting .157 with three homers and 22 RBIs in 58 games with the Padres. He was optioned to Triple-A Tucson on June 30 and recalled Aug. 9. ... The Padres reinstated RHP Dale Thayer from the paternity list and optioned LHP Josh Spence to Tucson. Executive Vice PresidentGeneral Manager Josh Byrnes made the announcements. .. The series continues Tuesday night when Atlanta's Kris Medlen (5-1) is scheduled to start for the Braves against LHP Andrew Werner (1-0, 3.00), who is scheduled to make his second big league start.

Mountain Credit Union30 Highway 107 Sylva, North Carolina USA
Mountain Credit Union Avoid Mounatin Credit Union like the Plague. Sylva North Carolina
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Like many people who've grown disgusted with traditional banks, I decided to switch to my local Credit Union, in this case, Mountain Credit Union. Boy was that a mistake. I have never encountered a more inept, poorly run, Mickey Mouse financial institution in my life.
First and foremost, they have no way to verify and/or instantly electronically exchange funds with other financial institutions like traditional banks do. Their solution to this crippling deficiency is to just arbitrarily decide when to credit your account with a deposit that contains a check, and when they want to put a "hold" on the check.
There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to when they decide to sit on your money for 7-10 business days. They randomly do it with in-state checks, checks in the exact same amount, written by the exact same people, that they have promptly credited your account with before.
Since they lack the ability to verify and/or electronically transfer funds to and from regular banks, one can only assume that they're using a Magic 8 Ball to decide when you can actually access your deposit?
Of course if you are counting on using the funds you deposited before the next ice age sets in, they wreak total havoc on your own bill paying ability by not having anything that even remotely resembles a consistent policy on deposits.
Their "on-line banking" is even worse. It can take up to a week for the bill you paid on-line to be received by the payee, even if it is an "instant pay" system like Duke Energy's, Direct TV's, etc.
Apparently since Mountain Credit Union does not have a "relationship" with other banks or utilities... Duke Energy, Frontier, Direct TV etc. they wait until they have a large sack of payments from their on-line Banking site, put it on the back of a donkey, stroll it across the mountains while allowing the donkey to graze occasionally, then eventually tie your payment to a rock and throw it on the payee's doorstep as they amble on by.
While the idea of not supporting the "Big Banks" is nice, having a Credit Union randomly sit on both payments and deposits for weeks is completely unacceptable.
It's no wonder the big banks are thriving if all credit unions are as archaic, inconsistent, and bovine slow as Mountain Credit Union. Don't make the mistake of opening an account with them...you'd be better off buying your own donkey.

Xbox Live's New Gamertag optioncomments powered by Disqus
Posted on Friday, March 5 2010 @ 23:12:41 PST
In case you haven't heard. Xbox Live now has a feature in which you're allowed to "express" yourself. Now expressing yourself with gamers around the world is a plus and minus on whether you'll be friendly, or if you'll turn to the dark side of all hatred.
The new feature allows Xbox Live users to add their; race, religion, sexual orientation, and nationality to their Xbox Live Gamertag. Allowing this feature was designed to help the Xbox Live community by sharing more about their personal selves and to interact with one another.
"Under our previous policy, some of these expressions of self identification were not allowed in Gamertags or profiles to prevent the use of these terms as insults or slurs. However we have since heard feedback from our customers that while the spirit of this approach was genuine, it inadvertently excluded a part of our Xbox Live community" -Marc Whitten: Xbox Live General Manager
The idea allowing more visible parts of your Gamertag is worth placing, as long as it's optional. Now I know there are positive attributes about the new feature such as sharing/interaction with another user, but there are some negative parts that could put a minus on his/her Gamertag
First, racism and stereotypes are around us. If you don't want to be insulted because of your persona, then don't show it. I'm going to write with huge bolded capital letters for this next concern; THIS WILL NOT PREVENT SEXUAL PREDATORS! This is one of the main worries users and non-users concern about. The adding of your persona to anything interacting online is completely optional. If you want to go and get ass-raped by some creepy ass individual all because you think they seem like a great person to "play" with, then you pal is a complete dumb-ass.
The new feature should have been made when Xbox Live first came out, why it took so long? I have no idea, but I'm pretty sure something along the line, people are going to be much more than just, "Hey N00B! Suck my boomstick!"
"This update also comes hand-in-hand with increased stringency and enforcement to prevent the misuse of these terms," he added. "I truly believe that our diversity is what makes us strong: diversity in gaming and entertainment options, and diversity in the people that make up this amazing community."-Marc Whitten: Xbox Live General Manager

With the 2010 census receding in the rearview mirror, civil rights advocates could be forgiven for putting goals such as a fair, accurate and comprehensive enumeration on a back burner. But they shouldn't.
Yes, the population count portion of the census—required every 10 years by Article I of the U.S. Constitution—is finished. Congressional and legislative redistricting based on the new population numbers is essentially done for the decade, and the Census Bureau has issued scores of data products to help guide public and private investment decisions and the allocation of fiscal resources through program formulas. But there are important reasons to keep the census in the forefront of the civil rights agenda:
- With the advent of the American Community Survey (ACS), the census now extends beyond a moment-in-time snapshot of the population. The decennial enumeration features only the most basic demographic information, including race and Hispanic origin, sex, age, household relationships, and housing tenure (own or rent), while the ACS gathers vital socio-economic characteristics throughout the decade.
- The window of opportunity to research and test new enumeration methods for the 2020 census is small.
- And hanging over these critical activities is a cloud of small-government sentiment and fiscal austerity that threatens to decimate our nation's vital data infrastructure and undermine a fair and accurate population count less than eight years from now.
The American Census: More than just one, two, three...
The 2010 census was the first since 1940 to gather only the most basic population and housing data from all of America's households. Previously, the census had used the so-called "long form" to collect a wide range of social, economic and housing information. The long form provided detailed profiles at the community level on important indicators, such as educational attainment, housing conditions and costs, labor force participation and occupation, veteran's status, ancestry, local transportation patterns, income and poverty, and disability. Congress directly or indirectly required most of the data to administer, monitor and evaluate federal laws and to allocate hundreds of billions of dollars annually in federal grants to states and localities. Long-form data also were used to implement sections of the Voting Rights Act, notably calculations of the voting age population for redistricting and the designation of places requiring language assistance for elections.
But Congress grew weary of the long form after the 1990 census posted the highest disproportionate undercount of people of color (Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and American Indians) ever recorded. The 1990 census also was the first to be measurably less accurate than the prior census. Legislators urged the Census Bureau to find alternate means of gathering vital data needed for programs and policymaking, to reduce response burden in the decennial population count, and to focus the enumeration on accuracy for the constitutional purposes of congressional apportionment and fair redistricting.
And so was born the ACS, an ongoing canvass of roughly 3.5 million homes each year that asks the same or similar questions as those on the traditional long form. Implemented nationwide in 2005, the ACS compiles enough data over five years to produce statistical profiles for areas as small as an average census tract of 4,000 people. Unlike long-form data, ACS data are updated annually and therefore are more useful in helping policymakers monitor trends and changing conditions at the community level. According to a Brookings Institution analysis, Congress allocated $416 billion in federal grants in Fiscal Year 2008 based on ACS data. The Census Bureau has since added several questions based on new legislative requirements, such as the Affordable Care Act.
With so much riding on ACS data and seemingly inherent congressional interest in the data for policy purposes, you would think lawmakers would support a scientifically robust survey by providing an adequate, consistent funding stream. But you would be wrong.
In the 112th Congress, as pro-small government voices gained more sway with the governing majority in the House of Representatives, a previously slow-moving effort to turn the ACS from a mandatory to an optional survey took hold among growing numbers of primarily Republican members, including committee and party leaders. The House by voice vote adopted an amendment offered by Rep. Ted Poe, R. Texas, to make ACS response voluntary. But that seemingly simple change would have devastating consequences. Previous Census Bureau testing showed that survey response rates would plummet, especially among historically hard-to-reach population groups, and costs would soar by at least 30 percent, making it difficult—if not impossible—for the Census Bureau to produce statistically valid estimates for urban neighborhoods, rural and remote communities, and the diverse range of smaller population subgroups such as Chinese, Dominican, and Haitian Americans.
Emboldened House Republicans didn't stop there. By a largely party-line vote, they also passed a subsequent amendment to eliminate funding for the ACS entirely. Imagine: No current socioeconomic indicators to determine the distribution of federal and state resources; to guide trillions of dollars in business investments in new stores, services, and manufacturing plants; or to implement key sections of the Voting Rights Act and other important civil rights laws.
Fortunately, neither the Poe amendment nor the measure to wipe-out all funding for the ACS became law during the 112th Congress. But risks to the ACS remain real, with the survey's critics likely to try again in the 113th Congress.
The Importance of Early Planning for Census 2020
The decennial enumeration is the nation's largest peacetime mobilization; it takes a full decade or more to conduct thorough research and testing, draw up design plans, and prepare to enumerate 310 million (and counting!) residents in 134 million (and growing!) housing units, as well as in group facilities such as military barracks, prisons, college dorms, and nursing homes.
Yet Congress generally has lacked foresight when it comes to early investment in census research and planning, despite strong evidence that groundwork early in the decade could save taxpayers hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in census execution. Soon after the 2010 census, Congress scolded the Census Bureau for not offering an Internet response option and ordered the agency to develop secure electronic response methods for the next count. Substantial reliance on electronic response in 2020 could save significant resources by reducing the need for paper questionnaires and costly field follow-up, allowing the bureau to devote more resources to hard-to-count populations that might not be able or inclined to respond via the Internet.
But the Census Bureau can't—and shouldn't—implement major design changes in the census without comprehensive testing and allowing time for meaningful stakeholder feedback. For example, advocates for communities of color have urged the Census Bureau to revise the way it gathers data on race and ethnicity. A number of Black leaders are proposing more choices for African-American respondents (such as Haitian, Nigerian, Somali, Jamaican) that would better capture this population's diversity. While the Census Bureau started evaluating alternative questions on race, ethnicity, and ancestry in the 2010 census, much work remains to be done before agency experts can recommend new questions for 2020.
Several states—including New York and Maryland—have taken the lead in changing the way they count prisoners for purposes of state legislative redistricting, preferring to place them at their pre-incarceration addresses—often predominantly urban—instead of at the prison—often hundreds of miles away in a rural area. If the Census Bureau is even to entertain the possibility of changing its census "residence rules," it must conduct thorough research and testing of alternative data collection methods, which could take years.
And research into a broader use of administrative records—such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Medicaid rolls—could help the Census Bureau identify uncounted members of low-income households. But use of these government databases could raise sensitive privacy issues. Technical issues, such as how to fill in information missing from administrative records (such as race), are also a challenge. The Census Bureau needs to invest in research and testing early in the decade to overcome substantial barriers to incorporating government records into its 2020 census design.
Of course, adequate funding is a continuing issue. For Fiscal Year 2013, President Obama asked Congress for a modest 3 percent increase over his Fiscal Year 2012 budget proposal for the Census Bureau. Senate appropriators were supportive of the request, which would fully fund core programs like 2020 census planning, the ACS, and the 2012 economic census. Their House counterparts weren't as thoughtful, knocking $92 million from the administration's proposal. The Census Bureau has a reprieve from impending budget Armageddon, thanks to election-year budget gridlock that produced a temporary measure funding the federal government at FY2012 levels. But census stakeholders should not let down their guard. Congress will continue to grapple with discretionary spending restrictions and must complete action on current year funding bills early in the 113th Congress.
Preserving Census Data: A Civil Rights Issue for the Long Haul
Civil rights advocates put the census and the ACS on a back-burner at their peril. Sure, nonprofit resources are stretched thin and there are myriad important issues to monitor and champion. But think how difficult it would be to make the case for social justice, equal employment, educational opportunity, affordable housing, and access to health care without the comprehensive, timely, and accurate data from the decennial census and ACS.
The decennial census is the foundation of our democratic system of governance; from an accurate census flows the means to ensure fair redistricting and strong implementation of the Voting Rights Act. The ACS puts flesh on the bones of the basic population count, giving policymakers the tools to assess community conditions, identify needs, and set priorities. And all of these publicly available data allow Americans to hold elected officials and business leaders alike accountable for their actions. If we want to promote continued transparency in decision-making, we must fight throughout the decade to preserve and strengthen the only reliable, objective tool available to ordinary citizens—comprehensive, accurate data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

With winter almost upon us, we need to be prepared to protect plants from a sudden cold snap.
QUESTION: "I am from Texas and currently I'm living in Ft. Drum, NY, because my husband is in the service. I am not used to snow and I have some plants that I need to know how to take care of. "They are in my flower bed and are perennials and I don't know if I am supposed to cover them with some sort of plastic or mulch or just dig them up and put them in the garage. I have a red spike plant, lavender salvia, dusty millers, and hostas. I also have a tomato plant that is in a flower pot with a tiny tomato beginning to grow on it. "Since the weather is changing here, I need to know what I can do. If there is any advice that you can give me, I would appreciate it." – Brenda
ANSWER: No need to dig them up, Brenda! I know that some gardeners like to put plastic garbage bags over vulnerable plants, and that's okay in a pinch; for instance if you find out that a freeze is imminent and garbage bags are all you have. However, my best suggestion is to use cloth sheets, such as old bed sheets. If you don't have any old sheets, you could invest in some ultra-cheap bed sheets from a dollar store or a thrift store and keep them in the garage or shed specifically for this purpose. I prefer cloth sheets to plastic sheeting as they allow a better and more natural air flow around the plants. Gently lay the cloth sheets over the plants in the evening, weighting down the edges with rocks if you are expecting strong winds that might blow them away. The next morning, after it begins to warm, simply remove the sheets and put them where they can dry out a bit and are ready for the next chilly night. On the subject of adverse weather conditions, several readers have asked about an article that my wife Cheryl wrote on the subject. Titled "Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Flooding and Storms," it includes tips on what to do when natural disasters strike. You can find it on her blog at http://www.cherlysnotebook.blogspot.com.
QUESTION: "I was wondering if you could help me decide what kind of hedges, trees, etc. to plant along our property line. The area is WET. We've tried growing evergreens (3 rounds) and every time they die — too much water. Our neighbor planted river birches along his property line, but I want some hedges as well. Any ideas as to what kind of hedge can withstand lots of water? I would appreciate your help." – Cristina Elliott
ANSWER: There are a number of plants that like nothing better than a location that keeps their feet wet! When you have a wet landscape, it is pointless to plant shrubs and trees whose natural environment is normal to dry soil as they'll never live up to your expectations… or even live, for that matter. Several azaleas (including Coastal, Sweet, Pinkshell and Swamp) like wet areas, as do the Dogwood varieties Tartarian, Silky and Red Osier. In fact, those three can even grow in a certain amount of standing water.
Winterberry, some varieties of Viburnum, Fothergilla and Red Chokeberry are also options, as is Bordeaux yaopon holly, which has the charming scientific name Ilex vomitoria Bordeaux! There's an excellent Web site, hosted by North Carolina State University that provides a comprehensive list of wetland-loving plants. Click on each listing and you can see descriptions, details, growing tips and (in most cases) photos. Well worth a visit if you're dealing with soggy soil! You can find this website by Clicking Here.

To Cut Welfare, Cut The Need For It
Like few other issues, welfare hits a nerve with Americans. With real wages still below their level of a decade ago, taxpayers have little desire to support the nonworking poor.
No wonder politicians are lining up to see who can be the most tough-minded. In their Contract With America, House Republicans vowed to deny benefits to unwed mothers under 18, with the savings being used for adoption, orphanages, or homes for unwed mothers. And to save money--$40 billion over five years is the claim--House Speaker Newt Gingrich and his supporters would tighten eligibility, limit benefits to immigrants, and slash spending on food stamps and other programs by as much as 5%. Trying hard not to be outdone, President Bill Clinton is rethinking the welfare-reform plan he unveiled last June, which would have set a two-year limit on Aid to Families With Dependent Children and curbed benefits to new welfare mothers who refuse to establish paternity.
The current welfare system needs an overhaul. But as Clinton and the GOP get tough with welfare, something very important is getting lost: the fate of the poorest children. The latest attempts at welfare reform are more likely to hurt children than help them. For example, denying welfare benefits to children without a legally recognized father would knock an estimated 2.8 million children off the rolls and into the streets, with disastrous long-term results. Similarly, curbs on food stamps may save money in the short run, but at the cost of more hungry and malnourished children.
That's why any attempt to fix welfare must focus on giving the children on welfare today the skills and health they need to be independent tomorrow. Educational-assistance programs such as Head Start should be strengthened. So should pre-natal care. Perhaps families that take their children for regular health checkups, make sure their children attend school, and perform other acts that greatly improve their children's well-being should remain eligible for payments. A system structured to help welfare families focus on their kids is the best way to ensure that the welfare problem gets smaller, not larger.

Make the most of autumn's fruity offerings.
Beurre bosc, doyenne du comice - such elegant names for an elegant fruit. As pear varieties go, packham has perhaps a more prosaic name, and as for nashi - well, I have never really considered it a pear. In fact I used to think it was an apple-pear cross, but now know it is its own species. I actually prefer nashi chilled - they are deliciously crisp and juicy at the same time. This week I've used them in a salad to add a cleansing freshness to the rich but oh-so-tasty pork belly.
Though we are now used to seeing pears on the shelves all year round, the colder months are when they are at their best. April through to August is when we should be feasting on these beauties.
Pears are a beautiful fruit to look at which is why they are often poached or baked in pastry so their shape is retained to be admired when brought to the table.
Poached pears is a simple dessert and they can be cooked in a variety of liquids but here the red wine gives a gorgeous colour and flavour. Prepare this dessert the day before; as the pears cool in the liquid the colour becomes richer. They can then be gently warmed before serving. Some of the liquid can also be reduced to a syrup to drizzle over before serving.
I used beurre bosc for its curvaceous shape and tapered neck. It looks beautiful but is also firm enough to withstand longer cooking without falling apart.
Wrapping whole pears in pastry is a simple but impressive dinner party dessert. Warm puff pastry encases the juicy pear which is then bathed in a fragrant vanilla syrup perfumed with bay leaves - delicious, especially with a dollop of softly whipped cream on the side. Packham pears are good in this recipe because they have juicy flesh and were perfectly ripe at my local vege store.
Chef's tip
Peel pears before wrapping in pastry, otherwise the pastry will slide off during cooking. If you need extra time while preparing recipes you can always put the peeled pears in acidulated water to stop the fruit turning brown. Just add a squeeze of lemon juice to water.

Suddenly, The World Turns Cold For Secretary AlbrightStan Crock
Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright opened her first year in office to rave reviews. She charmed Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jesse A. Helms (R-N.C.) and ended years of foreign-affairs budget cuts. She outflanked Defense Secretary William S. Cohen to keep GIs in Bosnia. She paved the way for NATO enlargement.
But the honeymoon is over. Since October, when it mended fences with China, the Clinton Administration has had little but setbacks. The collapse of fast-track trade legislation, Asia's financial meltdown, Middle East disarray, and a resurgent Russia made for a rotten end to 1997. This year could be worse, as Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein continues to defy U.N. weapons inspectors and tensions rise between NATO allies Greece and Turkey.
Albright is getting some of the blame for the missteps--and the absence of policies to turn the tide--although such hot-button issues as trade and China are not her direct responsibility. Detractors slam her lack of attentiveness at key times to issues such as Iraq. Her relentless travel--logging 185,000 miles to visit 52 countries in a year--draws barbs, too. "She looks more like she's campaigning around the globe than managing issues," gripes Senator Robert G. Torricelli (D-N.J.).
LONE WOLF. But managing the issues is no cakewalk. Many events are outside Albright's control. Sanctions against Iran and Cuba, which cause friction with the European Union, are driven by U.S. domestic politics. Israeli domestic politics have torpedoed the Middle East peace process. Besides, America's post-cold-war status as the only superpower is creating a paradox for Albright: The U.S. can't consistently turn its primacy into global clout. "You have a lot less influence when people don't need you to protect them," says Paul Wolfowitz, dean of Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies.
A big surprise for Albright has been a newly assertive Russia, which is exploiting splits among Western allies to pursue its own economic and diplomatic agenda. Moscow's planned sale of anti-aircraft missiles to Greek Cypriots, for example, has deepened the age-old rift between Greece and Turkey. The U.S. couldn't even find the muscle to persuade the EU to accept Turkey's membership bid.
Russia is a growing obstacle to dealing with Iraq. It even wants economic sanctions lifted so Baghdad can repay Rus-sian debt. Despite her stint as U.N. ambassador, Albright hasn't succeeded in rallying support behind tough moves to force Iraq to comply with U.N. resolutions. "Increasingly, the U.S. finds itself isolated in international [bodies]," says Chas. W. Freeman Jr., president of the Middle East Policy Council.
WOES MULTIPLY. The U.S. may end up alone on Iran policy. Albright must decide whether to slap sanctions on Russia's Gazprom and France's Total for their part in a $2 billion natural-gas project in Iran. Doing nothing would undermine U.S. credibility. But imposing sanctions would alienate Iranian moderates, who are seeking an opening to Washington, as well as the EU and Russia.
Meanwhile, the Administration is struggling to follow up the summit with China. Preparations for a new summit in Beijing are going so slowly that no date has yet been set for it. Beijing's concessions to gain membership of the World Trade Organization remain inadequate. China hasn't signed a global human-rights pact as promised. And it won't tighten missile export controls until the U.S. stops arms sales to Taiwan.
As the bad news piles up, Albright is in danger of losing her star status. If she is to escape that fate, she needs to chalk up some big wins--as well as air miles--in 1998.

Guantánamo Bay
On June 10, 1898, U.S. Marines landed at Guantánamo Bay. For the next month, American troops fought a land war in Cuba that resulted in the end of Spanish colonial rule in the Western Hemisphere. Cuban rebels had gained the sympathy of the American public while the explosion and sinking of the U.S.S. Maine, widely blamed on the Spanish despite the absence of conclusive evidence, further boosted American nationalistic fervor.
Popular demand for intervention in the Cuban-Spanish conflict led Congress to pass resolutions demanding the withdrawal of Spanish armed forces from Cuba, authorizing U.S. aid to effect this, and promising American support for Cuban self-rule. Spain declared war against the United States on April 24, 1898, and the United States promptly replied with a counter-declaration.
While Spain was unprepared to sustain a war in its distant territories, America was ready and eager to show off its military strength. The navy, under Admiral George Dewey's command, easily broke Spanish control of the Philippine Islands in an engagement at Manila Bay on May 1. American attention then turned to the liberation of Cuba.
n July 17, just five weeks after the landing at Guantánamo Bay, the Spanish forces under Admiral Pascual Cervera surrendered at Santiago. In the Treaty of Paris, the United States gained sovereignty of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Spain lost its colonial empire, and the United States emerged with greater influence in international affairs and an increased sense of national pride.
