text: Politics 2 April 2013 Chart of the day (slight return): Deadly earthquakes Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The Lancet is leading with a series of articles on health inequalities in Europe, and while the series as a whole is fascinating, there was one chart in particular which stood out for me, in the article "Health and health systems in the Commonwealth of Independent States": Take a closer look at Armenia's life expectancy. That's the effect of the Spitak earthquake, which killed at least 25,000 people, and left half a million homeless. It was so deadly that it marked the first time since World War II that the Soviet Government asked the USA for humanitarian aid – and it lowered life expectancy by a decade. The chart also shows a lesser, but more prolonged, plummet in life expectancy in Tajikistan, around 1993. That's the effects of the Tajik civil war, which lasted five years and killed up to 100,000 people. For obvious reasons, the Lancet piece doesn't examine those one-off events. And "avoid earthquakes and civil wars" isn't the most useful advice to a nation trying to improve its life expectancy. But as a powerful display of data, there's not much that can improve on that chart. › Reviews round-up Alex Hern is a technology reporter for the Guardian.

Date of Stay: June, 2012
We really liked this campground with just a couple complaints. Positives were the nice sites with a good deal of privacy. Most were pretty large and flat. Reserve online and you will be able to get very accurate details about the site that will help you make your choice. The 2 beaches were small but were nice sandy beaches. Also had grassy area great for a game of frisbee! Picnic tables near beach in shady areas. You can also swim or put in boats, floats, etc., at many places around the grounds, including your own site if you select a lake site. Bathrooms were the negative part. Small showers with only one curtain so if you are a private person, you won't like that at all. Water is solar heated so showers at night are not so pleasant. Toilet paper runs out on weekends and bathrooms were pretty dirty by late in the day as well. Overall nice. Will go again.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
Nice campground on Kerr Lake. Lots of sites right on the water which are lovely. Clean well-stocked bathrooms. Friendly staff. Visited twice in 2011 and will go again in 2012.

The lover:
A single candle flares to life in a curtained night chamber, and I know my journey is over. I came here to watch outside the manor house in the silent darkness of early morning, standing in anxious vigil as I awaited a sign. The light speaks to me, tells me I have not quested in vain.
But what power has called me here?
I thought never to return to this land, this land of my birth, this land where once my ancestors ruled with the law of sword and knout, and townsman and peasant alike abased themselves in the dust as our curtained carriages rumbled past.
But I have come back — no, been drawn back — as inexorably as the shackled ballast stone draws the sailor's corpse into the bowels of the sea. Drawn by a bouquet in the air, a haunting fragrance so compelling in its promised ecstasy that I never had thought to resist.
It began as a faint aura, a suggestion of warmth hidden between wisps of cool midnight mist, the aftertaste of honeyed wine melting on a single breath. I remember that night when first I felt its touch. I was afoot in the great city, one moment striding along the darkened streets in purposeful design, the next scenting the air and coursing back and forth along unnamed byways and alleys like some hound driven afield at the huntsman's command.
Tonight I have reached the source.
The distance I have travelled matters naught. The wind- whipped ship, the rattling carriages, the weary hours trudging rock-strewn footpaths all fade from my memory.
There is only the light in the window.
And the woman framed therein.
I see her but dimly, a shadowy wraith beneath flickering candle flame, but I feel her reaching out to me, calling, promising me delights beyond all comprehension. It is she who has brought me here, her essence carried on the questing winds, seeking me out that I might respond in kind.
For I know that as my desire for her grows, so am I desired.
She steps now onto the balcony, and my heart leaps. The light behind her, the beauty of her full figure and regal profile are revealed in stark outline. I cannot see her eyes, but I know that she watches me, even through the gathered darkness, and I take a step forward. But I dare not go further. The faint beginnings of dawn tint the eastern skies, and soon there will be other eyes about, and I fear to reveal myself in the light of day. The mark of my ancestry is carved on my visage, and those who forced exile on me might seek a more onerous punishment were I to be discovered.
She turns away, but I sense anticipation in her manner, not disappointment. This day will be one sweet longing, with preparation for fulfillment, and tonight I will return, ready to claim my prize.
As I know she awaits to claim hers.
The husband:
I stare at her as I enter the common chambers, and my mouth is dry with disgust.
Repugnance has destroyed love.
Is this thing truly the woman I took to wife? She has grown ugly in the face, ugly in her coarse and bloated body, and ugliest of all in her manner and habits. And with all her inherent ugliness, when she should still be groveling her thanks both for my saving her life and for ultimately bestowing on her all the honors of holy wedlock, she treats me with a shrugging indifference, an indifference that grows almost at a pace with the wallowing masses of flesh that bulge and flow across her sodden frame.
I wish now I had left her searing in the flames of her strange conveyance, that night when the falling star belched fire and thunder, so many years ago. But I dragged her free, while my coachmen quieted the screaming horses, and then held her close in my arms as we dashed past the shuttered peasant huts to gain the safety of the manor house before moonrise. She was just a wisp of a woman-child then, lost and lonely, not knowing either our language or our ways, and her innocence enchanted me. But she was quick to learn, and I watched her grow into delicate womanhood, a creature slim and lovely. Thus, in the course of time, I asked her to be my own.
That was a long time ago.
Now look at her!
The childlike daintiness has fled, replaced by a caricature of jarring contrasts: an ossified blade of a face on its serpent neck, tacked like an afterthought to that gross, edematous body. How can she have changed so, how can parts of her have shrunk and shrivelled while the rest has grown so swollen? Her hair is harsh and fibrous, drawn straight and severe, knotted high on the occipital curve of her skull to expose a nape all powdered and shaven. Shaven! I am in mind of some ailing and scabrous dog, its pelt shorn away to expose the encroachments of mange, smeared with dried and flaking medication. And as for the rest of her stringy neck, it is drawn and laced with flaccid cords, throbbing spidery veins, and jutting thyroid cartilage. And what is so hideously incongruous is the sight of that emaciated appendage contrasting with the fleshiness of her upper torso, for all the world like a dry and spindly cornstalk emerging from her billowing bosom.
As if her appearance were not distressing enough, there have been other changes equally repulsive in character and demeanor. Her complexion varies mysteriously with the time of day, rising grey and sallow like a chill drizzly dawn, ending mottled and rubicund like a dying winter sunset. And as her coloring changes, so do her features. Slit feline eyes take on a slant that emphasize the nose, which in itself becomes a muzzle blending almost unbroken with the puckered line of pinched and wrinkled lips. And it is that little rodent's mouth that belies in its economy the most offensive change of all: the avaricious gluttony that she continually exhibits, slobbering and clawing at the nutriments that her burgeoning bulk demands to sustain itself.
She is constantly at table, the serving-maids scurrying back and forth, the raucous clatter in kitchen and scullery a dissonant symphony to her greediness. Dozens of hen's eggs, chunk on chunk of crusty loaf, mounded slabs of meat, pink juices swirling in the platter, all are grist for that chittering snout-like mill of a mouth. And the drink! Bowls of wine. Tankards of beer. Tureens of soup, the indiscriminate floating morsels sucked up along with the fluid. Buckets of pulpy extracts from the crushings and squeezings of fruit and vegetable. A pitcher of water is always at her elbow, demanding constant replenishment, used to wash everything down into that sloshing abyss of her voluminous belly.
There remains to me but to watch in fascinated disgust, repelled, as she shovels her way through tables, buffets, pantries, in search of — what? Satisfaction? Gratification? Rejuvenation? She eats as if she were searching for some special morsel that always eludes her, some sweetmeat unknown in our simple country fare. I have given up trying to understand her; I can just barely tolerate her, let alone pick and probe at her mental processes. She has been my lady here, a bit of brightness in a land long cursed by the evil shadow of the towering Carpathians. But she has relinquished all my respect and honor in her meaningless quest for this unnamed fulfillment.
She has taken to retiring early and locking the doors to her chambers. I can divine no reason for this latest aberration. The perimeter of the manor is secured with powerful talismans at nightfall, doubly renewed and blessed when the moon rises full. The peasant servants may despise her, but they are innocuous, so it would not seem to be fear that motivates her. And the heavens know, I am no threat to her person in any fashion. I have not even known her connubially these many years, a decision forced on me by an increasingly strange and painful incompatibility of our physical persons. At the risk of offending, I must tell you in all candor that as the moist obesity swelled her limbs and belly, it was accompanied by a shrinking and drying of her privy parts into the semblance of a vulture's beak.
As I ascend the broad sweeping staircase, and close the doors to my own lonely bedroom, I can hear her voice, even through the solid oak. She is laughing and happy, almost as if this were her marriage night, and she a virgin bride waiting in naive anticipation. I can determine neither meaning in her words, nor reason for her laughter, but somehow I am very glad for the security of the cross that seals my door tonight.
The lover:
I stare at her through the windows of her bedchamber, my hunger whetted by the long day's wait, and my lips are moist with eagerness.
Soon they will be red from the fervid caress of love.
I cannot remember such feelings for any other woman; liaisons of faded centuries disappear into facelessness as I glide from the moonlight into her room. Her very presence begins to warm me from my waking chill. She beckons me, and my heart beats anew inside my straining chest, my fingers stretch for the touch of her, and my lips draw back in answer to the growing taste of anticipation. She is lovely in ways no woman has ever been lovely before, awaiting me, desiring me, as anxious to please as I am to return to her, as I have returned to her so often of late, as I hope to return to her yet a thousand thousand times to come.
How can such a woman be of this earth?
Look at her!
She is a delight of delicate counterpoint, the incisive clarity of feature, the sensually severe curves of her throat, all shading in subtle contrast into the lush abundance of her full figure. How firm the lines of her visage, the clear definition of cheek and forehead, framed emphatically with her crown of hair. And Oh! The wonderment of her neck, vibrant joy from chin to collarbone, with the pulsing signal of living heart visible through the clear warm parchment of her skin — rapid, alive, inviting.
Her throat is like the fluted column of a Greek temple, etched with the desire of the ages, ever classic, but ever renewed. And sweetest of all, the deep moist clavicular hollows, glowing and ardent, where the softness of shoulder and breast unite.
As I drop my cape crumpled on the balustrade, she turns to receive me, her face bright, a fervid pink, ruby dipped in milk. Her heightened color accentuates the clarity of her eyes, the regal aquiline nose, the eager pursing lips, wet and inviting. Without being told, I know she has spent the day preparing for me and me alone, building up her strength, renewing her sustaining juices, her very life force, her essence. Soft, sanguine, sensuous, she reaches out to me, eager to begin. I am hypnotized by her desire, so new and strange to me after so many centuries, so many women bent to my will, accommodating me, but dreading my very touch. Why, at last, am I so fervently desired by one so well suited to my special needs? Does she have secret hungers that someday I will be expected to fulfill, even as I satisfy myself?
The door is bolted and the manor quiet, despite the fact that I have arrived only moments after sundown. But no- one will dare disturb us; her husband is a fool, and the servants are but sheep, cowering in their quarters behind candles and crosses. Quivering like a new bridegroom, I sink into the enveloping folds of her supine body, my probing incisors locked deep in the beauty of her throat.
The taste of blood is again sweet in my mouth, but somehow, other senses, long forgotten, are awakening. My groin has come afire, and the craving erectness, which I thought was never again to be mine, has returned to torment me. I penetrate her, now joined at both throat and loins as her interlocked fingers tighten to force me deeper and deeper into her clutching softness. A softness that enfolds me, surrounds me, sucks me down into darkness. A softness that conceals steely jaws and acid juices, where I am yielding my essences, my dwindling serums, to satisfy both a hunger and a lust such as I never knew.
I choke under the darkness, and have not the strength to lift my limbs. Her body arches, her thighs contract, and the acids are injected to course and burn inside me, melting my flesh, my bones, my organs. My heart hesitates, blisters, dissolves, and is sucked away by this thing that feeds on me. A thing that feeds a hundred — nay, a thousand — times more voraciously than I ever fed in my lifetime or my life after that.
I try to stretch my wings, to flit away into the safety of the night, but my body is but a shell, and cannot respond.
The fire has reached my mouth, my tongue, my eyes.
Darkness swirls around me.
Even the darkness is collapsing.
Ugly darkness.

what carb&intake does it have now?
Have stock 502 carbed motors. Both have about 580 hrs or so. We aren't sure the history on these motors but as far as we know they are stock and haven't been rebuilt or modified.
We put Imco power flow exhaust two years back and are looking to do something to the intake and or carbs this yr. what are some suggestions for switching out the carbs and or intake? We would like something that will be suitable for the current set up but also something that when we have the motors rebuilt down the road and upgraded power, they will compliment the internal upgrades.
Thanks in advance
what carb&intake does it have now?
If more power is what your looking for, you may want to get a nice set of heads, and a new cam as well. Those motors need to breathe to make any noticable difference, and it seems like you are alreadt set on the exhaust side. I would look at a nice set of AFR heads, good cam, single plane manifold and bigger carb. Not to mention, everything can be used down the road when you want to build up the motors
Not sure on the specifics - it is bone stock. Factory merc intake and what appears to be something similar to a quadrajet on a Chevy set up.
Gun slinger- what intake and larger carb do you recommend?
If it were me you could make some replica hp500 motors out of them fairly cheap, If you're not looking to spend the money on cams heads intake and carbs right now I'd say go with some Holley 850s like the 500s had and the Merlin intake to match. Something you could when rebuilding put some decent heads, cams, use the Intake and carbs and get 500-550 hp all day, not breaking drives and run the heck out of it. Just my 2 cents...
More time boating less time wrenching...
But to get back on topic. What you have there Ricky, is GM aluminum dual plane intakes, with a quadrajet carb, flat tappet cam. They are nice engines, and were rated at 390HP stock in 1993.
With 600 hours on them, I'd say your getting close to a freshen up. The valve springs are probably getting weak, guides a bit worn, etc.
IMO, bolting on a different carb and intake wont net much. The cam is very mild for a 502. I'd say run them as is another season, and save up some money. When your ready, go thru them, convert to a hyd roller setup, new carbs, intakes, roller rockers, etc. 550-575HP is doable with the heads you have and proper cam, intake, etc, without getting radical.
MT pretty much nailed it. Run them as is and enjoy trouble-free boating for a couple more seasons. Simply changing carbs and intakes will not do much for you with the small (222/222 @ .050, 115 LSA, .483 / .483 lift) cam that Merc was running in those engines. Friend of mine dropped a stock 502 mag in his boat with the dual plane and an 850 Holley, and was getting about 65 MPH. He didn't want to get into the internals of the engine until his warranty was up, so he put an HP 500 Dart single plane and 800 Holley on it, and added Lightning headers - so he basically had the HP 500 setup minus the cam. Net result was about 4 MPH more on the top end. He didn't see any real gains until he got much more aggressive on the cam. Merc set these motors up very conservatively, particularly on the camshaft lift, for longevity.
Hey thanks for the feedback. Looks like we will be going with either the 800 or 850 Holley carbs. What are y'all's thoughts on dual plane vs single plane intakes? Brand experiences or recommendations? If I have researched right, dual plane for better mid range and single for top end. Is there a significant difference with the proposed set up?
And yes at the end of summer, I'll be asking for thoughts on heads and cams to go with the carbs and intake y'all all have helped with!
Gotta love OSO- so much knowledge and willingness to help.

The Coast Guard plans to halt its 24-hour patrol on the Hudson River near the Indian Point nuclear power plants, but the company that owns the plants says security will not be impaired. In a letter written last week and obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, Rear Admiral R. E. Bennis told Entergy Nuclear, the owner of the power plants, ''We no longer have the resources to provide 24-hour security and will be conducting only random patrols in the near future.''
In an interview, Admiral Bennis said the cutback would begin on Monday. He said that whatever security replaced the Coast Guard cutters ''will be just as good.'' The nation's nuclear power plants have been under heightened alert since the Sept. 11 attacks.Continue reading the main story

Securing Single Din HU
Hey Fanatics,
I recently swapped my stock HU with a JVC avx77 and when doing the install with the centered dash kit I noticed that there is no real good way to secure the radio from sliding out. Is there a good solution for this that I just don't know about? I searched around but could not really find anything. I saw that there is a metal frame that does this for the double din install kit but I couldn't find anything similar for the single din. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Did the JVC HU come with a metal rectangular box? When I have installed aftermarket HUs in the past, this metal box has tabs that you have to push out in order to "catch" on the opening where you are placing the new radio. It is the tabs that secure the radio to the opening in the vehicle.
Hope this helps.
Thanx for the help man. That worked out great. I've installed about 4 aftermarket HU's in my lifetime and have never used that metal frame that comes with them because I've always been able screw the radio into the frame for the car. I always found that to be the more secure way of installing it. I didn't even think to use the metal frame that came with the radio for this install.

Installing a Canon EF-M split-circle viewfinder screen into an EOS camera.
Copyright © 2003-2017 NK Guy
Introduction to split circle viewfinders.
Back in the 70s and 80s it was very common for SLRs to have split circle (split prism) viewfinders. Such viewfinder screens feature a circle, bisected by a usually horizontal line, in the centre of the screen. To focus the camera you find a high-contrast vertical line (eg: edge of a wall, a tree trunk) and look at it through the viewfinder. You then adjust focus until the line appears unbroken in the split circle.
Split circle viewfinders use a pair of tiny prisms set in precise positions in the viewfinder to achieve this effect. Theyre arranged such that the image you see lines up (becomes coincident) when the line is correctly focussed on the plane of the screen. Some cameras use four prisms so you can look for both horizontal and vertical lines and some use prisms mounted at 45 degree angles. Sometimes microprisms are used - even tinier prisms which give a textured look when the image is not in correct focus. All these types of manual focus assist aids make it much easier to focus manually, especially when light levels are low.
The primary disadvantage of all prism-based focus assist aids is that they can stop working and black out (become so dark as to be useless) when used with certain slow lenses, long telephotos, teleconverters or extension tubes, because of the angles at which light is entering the camera from the lens. They may also require some exposure compensation because they may affect the amount of light reaching the cameras internal lightmeter.
Sadly, most camera makers ditched these manual focus aids with the advent of autofocus in the late 1980s, apparently on the assumption that autofocus is so fabulous that youll never need to focus manually again. And worse yet, most EOS cameras do not have interchangeable focus screens.
The Canon EF-M viewfinder screen.
In 1991 Canon produced the Canon EF-M for markets outside Japan. It wasnt sold as an EOS camera, but was a stripped-down EOS Rebel/1000 without the ability to autofocus. Since it was a manual focus camera it shipped with a split circle viewfinder.
In fact, it has a split circle in the centre of the screen and a ring of microprisms (microprism collar) around it. So if its too dark or you cant find a decent high-contrast line you can try the microprisms instead. I find them useful at night if there are bright points of light - such points appear broken up into little points by the microprism when not in focus.
Compatible cameras.
By happy coincidence a number of related EOS bodies have viewfinder screens of precisely the same size and dimensions as the EF-M (ie: they were all built around the same basic mirror box chassis design). As a result its fairly easy to remove the stock laser matte screen and replace it with an EF-M screen. These cameras were not designed with user-replaceable screens and no alternative screens were generally sold, but theyre nonetheless reasonably easy to work with.
Cameras to which this viewfinder screen can be installed are the following:
EOS Rebel/1000 series:
- EOS Rebel
- EOS Rebel S
- EOS Rebel S Quartz Date
- EOS Rebel II
- EOS Rebel S II
EOS 100/Elan.
Its possible there are other EOS cameras of the same vintage into which this screen can be installed, but I havent examined many others. I do know that the EOS 10/10s screen is slightly larger and thus incompatible with this hack. Any EOS camera with different viewfinder specs - all the cameras listed above have 90% vertical and horizontal viewfinder coverage with 0.75x magnification - will be incompatible, in fact.
Note that the EOS 100/Elan is by far the most capable of the cameras listed here. Its a midrange EOS camera with a decent cross-configuration autofocus sensor. So if youre going to try this modification Id personally do it to a 100/Elan.
Obtaining an EF-M screen.
Unfortunately Canon have not carried the EF-M viewfinder screen as a replacement part for many years, so theyre basically impossible to obtain from official sources. They still appear on some price lists, so some camera shops may claim they can order the part, but youll probably discover after months of waiting that theyre wrong. Your best bet is to find an old broken EF-M - or sacrifice a working EF-M - and remove its focus screen.
Ive found a broken EF-M for $12 US and a working EF-M for $85 US on an auction site, so theyre not impossible to find. It just takes time searching now and then. Used camera retailers KEH and B&H sometimes carry them, but usually they ask well over $100 US for a working model.
Installing an EF-M screen.
Exchanging the screens of EOS cameras which do not have officially interchangeable screens isnt difficult, but is very fiddly. The screens are made of very delicate and easily scratched plastic, so you may be best off taking your cameras to a repair shop and having them exchange the screens. If you want to try it yourself examine the rectangular metal frame which is used to clip the viewfinder in place. This frame has four tabs, two on each long edge, which fit into small holes in the black plastic mirror box and hold it in place.
Use a pair of very fine tweezers and slide the tip of the tweezers between the metal frame and the front edge of the cameras plastic shell, where theres a black piece of foam (the edge nearest to the lens mount). It will help to watch what youre doing by looking into the cameras mirror. Push the frame into the camera (towards the shutter) and down (towards the camera baseplate) and the frame should simply fall away. Be careful not to touch the screen or the mirror - both surfaces are extremely fragile and easily scratched.
Note that there may be a rectangular plastic shim located between the camera body and the viewfinder screen - youll need to keep that there. Note also that because of alignment issues its possible that the camera may not be truly in focus when it appears in focus using the split-circle screen, and it may need to be shimmed.
You may also want to test the cameras lightmeter to see how metering is affected by the presence of the new viewfinder. It may be wise to do some controlled tests with the old laser matte screen before replacing it with the EF-M screen.
So thats basically all there is to it. Hopefully youll find it as useful as I do. Adding the split circle screen to my EOS Elan has really changed it for me. I do a lot of low-light and night photography, and being able to focus manually with ease has helped me a great deal.
Finally, note that other components in the cameras are not so easily interchangeable. The EF-Ms plastic lens mount, for example, cant be swapped out for the Elan/100s steel lens mount. The two cameras have seemingly identical viewfinder lenses, but its hard to remove from the Elan/100 because the light metering board is in the way. In fact, Elan/100s are a real pain to work on as everythings crammed in there. The EF-M is much simpler and has more open space. So its pretty lucky that the viewfinders just happen to be interchangeable!
Thanks to EOS user Julian Loke for discovering this possibility and posting about it to the EOS mailing list.

Hey I'm just having a little fun. Don't we all have a few Homer Simpson "dohs" every once in a while?
""'you get up into the Dakotas and the only thing between you and the North Pole is a barbed wire fence'.
And from that, I reckon those Canadians don't even have the barbed wire fence.
YOU GOT HER ALL, the barbed wire, the oil, the water, the canola,....even most of that honey has disappeared

Yes , Jim some fun, but lets ask a better question, What has changed in the recent 15 years. Let us not forget that 20 to 30 years ago the ( for lack of better term ) Homer Simpson beek could do extremly well making money as a beek. Beeks would actauly kill off 50 to 90 % of stock in the fall, go south for the winter, then in spring take 1000 hives & turn into 8000 for summer honey production and make an Incredible honey crop, take the winter off to go hunting.
The reality of beekkeeping has changed and I firmly believe the Pesticide & chemical elements in our agriculture industry has had a drastic effect.
I could go on for pages but hope this helps other beeks to start looking around, find out what has changed in the business environmernt of the farming industry.

hey, we are mearly managing bugs in a box,
we cant be that hard on ourselves
I use to like to fish & hunt as well, even go to a winter bee meeting like the one in San Diego this year, BUT the bees now need my attention 12 months a year. I can say this with out question, the keepers that are really keeping on top of there bees seem to be doing fine over all.

"""It was simply a tongue-in-cheek way of saying it gets stinkin' cold up that way...i.e. there doesn't seem to be anything blocking the flow of arctic air. No offense intended.... """"ya it gets cool up here ,the other day it was minus 45 C with the wind chill......poor bees
No offense taken beemandan.......just keep that ol American economy peddling along,which should keep that good old American dollar high in the sky value.......us Canucks will sell you anything you want including bees for almonds.......not that we would be able to do that legally but where there is a will there is the way.
Yes Kieth we here what you are saying and totally agree.
I mean my family has been more than successful keeping bees as their sol living since 1974.
We do great and have more than enough time off.
My worries are that every year it will get worse. There are so many clues telling us something is wrong.
What larry is saying is that it has obviously gotten more difficult to be consistent at this profession.
I dont know if you understand that you cant feed bees when they dont need it. Also cant supplement pollen when the bees are gathering pollen that is not as good as it used to beeeeeeee.
everyone and everything needs nourishment and a place to forage.
As the years pass there is less and less good forage land.
I am young and want to be able to do this for many years to come.
also got 2 calls in the last week from people looking for bees for almonds.
o yeah and Keith how would you know what we all put into our bees?
Lets talk labor, how many bee yards do you have? how many employees do you have?
not enough labor my a##.
Do you survive financially on only a honey crop and pollination income?
or do you get rich selling NUTRA BEE
To answer LSpender, besides the latest and greatest pathogens, I blame the plants. Something has chnaged in the plants in the last 10-15 years. When you saw fields of flowers, the bees made honey. Now, you never know what will happen. Could it be weather? I doubt it. Side effect of a agriculture chemical? Quite possible. Acid Rain? possible, but not likely, we are on Limestone.
Crazy Roland
Fields of flowers equates to honey here, especially if it rains at the right times
I think we may be over analyzing this a bit too much. In regards to the current bee supply available for Almonds this year the question is really what has changed since last year or the year before, which were both years when there were enough bees to go around. #1 on my list is the most severe drought since 1956 and it cut right through the area where most bees spend the summer. #'s 2 and 3 in no particular order are most likely the unusually early spring which resulted in an unusually long brooding season together with the unavailability of (ahem) product A for mite control. Yes I do think the change in farming practices is a contributing factor as well but it's difficult to make the case that things really changed much in one year.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Excellent summation, Jim.
I concour!
I have exactly ONE hive more than than you.
That makes my opinion beyond dispute!
Countless possibilities........
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
Ben, I will give you a little run down on what I do as to your question "financially survive"
1) shaking bees this week@ $30.00lb
2) almonds 3000 hives in
3) shaking bees after almonds @ $12lb
4) move some bees like to your state of TX Ben, last year and did well with honey avg
5) Ok, I will stop at (5) it is now the month of June & those bees of last year at this time grossed $480 per hive, you would have to be brainless not to make money in this maket.

bit off topic but love picking beekeepers brains,
Keith, you shake while in the almonds, and then after,
making up packages I presume,
to relieve swarming pressures I presume,
Do I presume correctly ?
I think I should migrate south for the winter and buy some of those shook bees,
Ian, I'm shaking RIGHT NOW, I have the bees in semi load lots, so shaking is easy & fast, will be moving to the almonds after shaking is done. I shake in bulk cages (30-35lb).

We had a fantastic week at Villa Eos!
Wow! It was perfect! We were welcomed in a very professional way, even with some food for our first day! The view is beautiful, the pool unique and the whole villa, perfect! We really recommend it hands down! Thanks Nicola and all the ladies who work with you! Dany and Claude from Quebec, Canada.
Simply Stunning!
We have fallen in love with Villa Eos and Lindos town! The villa itself is beautiful with picturesque views out to sea, it is maintained to a very high standard, offering everything you need for your stay (the barbecue area adds an extra special dimension to the property), we will definitely be returning! If you enjoy eating out Lindos is amazing at night, we would recommend the Odyssia Restaurant with its excellent food and spectacular views of the acropolis!
Absolute stunning villa , with beautiful views, just like in the pictures .
We had an amazing stay at this villa. First impressions, it was lovely and clean. So light and airy, lots of space for our family of 5.
We had lazy days around the pool, and it's only a short distance to vichella beach which suited our needs perfectly!
The beach was busy but not too busy, and quite calm n chilled. The sea perfect for the kids especially our 8 yr old, as calm with no sudden depth changes. Recommend hiring a boat and taking a trip out around the coastline . It was truly beautiful, the kids enjoyed diving in the aqua waters. Lindos looked lovely with its white washed buildings set against the mountains. We ventured into the village, although lovely we found the amount of people ( bus loads) a little too over whelming as it was hard work trying to look in the shops , but we were glad we went.
Loved the fact that the villa was private but at the same time not secluded.
Villa staff very helpful.
Would definitely recommend this villa !!!
Hope to return X

Lovely Villa
We had a lovely stay at Villa Eos. It's a lovely villa, very modern with beautiful views. We could not fault the villa apart from two very minor things, and that would be a fridge in the outside kitchen and some champagne glasses would make it perfect. The restaurant of the holiday was the Ktima which is only 800 yards up the road on the way to Lindos. It has the most breath taking views, great food and lovely people running it. We also had a very nice meal at the Olive Street restaurant in Lindos, but we did have to book in advance.
Well furnished villa that was supported very well by the knid people who cared for it.
Our stay was lovely. We stopped at the villa for a week and the staff that looked after it were very helpful. Our shower broke on the first day and they sorted it out immediately.
My only advice would have been to have the pool slightly heated as it was breathtakingly cold but I do recognise that this may be highly appreciated when the weather gets warmer throughout summer.
It was nice to be situated near to Lindos without being in the hustle and bustle and the restaurants at the bottom of the hill were very good.
I would highly recommend this villa and we would certainly return to the same villa if we went back to Rhodes.
Many Thanks

Activity and Interests
Villa Eos is situated just a few minutes drive from the iconic village of Lindos, Rhodes. Lindos is one of the most famous villages in Greece and for good reason. Lindos is a beautiful whitewashed village with narrow winding cobbled streets lined with wonderful gift shops, restaurants, bars and local supermarkets. As well as all of it's village amenities, Lindos also offer four beaches. The main beach is long, sandy with plenty of sunbed and umbrellas and lined with great local tavernas, so plenty to keep you occupied day and evening. Opposite the main beach you will find Pallas beach which is a much smaller and more intimate bay where you will find tourists that have been coming to Lindos for over 30 years! This beach is also sandy and has a good selection of tavernas to chose from. On the other side of Lindos village you will find St Paul's Bay which is great for snorkelling in its crystal water and then opposite, there is another beach just next to the St Paul's church which is also a lovely spot for spending the day.
As well as being located within minutes of Lindos, Villa Eos is overlooking the beautiful Vlicha beach. Being just a few hundred metres from the villa, Vlicha beach can be accessed on foot or by car. The beach has great watersports facilities and there are tavernas to enjoy lunch. The water is Vlicha beach is very clean and therefore great for swimming.
Villa Eos has the most incredible sea views from its elevated position overlooking Vlicha Bay and these are probably most enjoyed in the evening after a day on the beach or site-seeing when you can enjoy a drink on the terrace and breathe in those amazing views.
For food shopping for your villa, there is a great supermarket just 800 metres away where there is a very good selection of everything that you will need. It is called Flevaris Supermarket.
If you would like to experience some very Greek villages, Pilona is just a couple of kilometres away with its beautiful church, and then further along this road you will find Lardos which is always buzzing with locals in the evening. Lardos has some great restaurants and bars to chose from.
As well as the local villages, Rhodes has many attractions to offer for a day trip such as the wonderful old medieval walled city of Rhodes town. A car is highly recommended for a stay in Villa Eos and we are very happy to help you with organising a rental car for your stay with us. Another lovely day out is to the famous Butterfly Valley. This is particularly recommended in August when the trees are full of butterflies and the valley offers a cool respite from the August heat. Further South, right at the tip, Prassonisi is an amazing site for anyone to see - it is where the Mediterranean and Aegean seas meet. Prassonisi is also a favourite of the kitesurfing and windsurfing community so be prepared to see some action!
Villa Eos is therefore perfectly placed for the local attractions and those available throughout the island. It's position also offers the most magical sea views.

The documentary film and educational initiative Objects and Memory is about how we respond to history while it is happening and how we tell our stories through the otherwise ordinary things in our homes and museums that are associated with people, places, and events.
The film was PBS's national prime time special in commemoration of both the seventh and tenth anniversaries of 9/11 and will be broadcast again nationally for the 15th anniversary. A PBS programming executive commented, "[This] program is one of the very few that continue to see broadcast play after so many years – the overwhelming majority of shows never see that much affection over time from PBS and stations." (Check local listings or contact us – firstname.lastname@example.com – for dates and times.) With narration by Frank Langella and music by Philip Glass, Objects and Memory invites viewers to consider what they value most, and how we form communities across time
Objects and Memory is now available for purchase. The DVD includes additional interviews, personal stories, and deleted/extended scenes. Available here.
Objects and Memory was honored with the 2010 American Association for State and Local History Award of Merit, considered the most prestigious national recognition for achievement in the preservation and interpretation of state and local history. The film was profiled on ABC's 20/20.
Filmmaker Jon Fein was interviewed on Public Radio in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Listen at Public Broadcasting or at iTunes.
Jon Fein speaks at universities, museums, and community centers across the nation, to expand upon the issues raised by the film. Click here to discover the "Objects and Memory Educational Initiative" and to contact him.
Producer/Director Jon Fein screened the film, followed by a panel discussion, class visits, and a lecture at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, March 6-8.
In the face of sudden disruption and inexplicable loss, there is a need to bridge the irreplaceable past with a hopeful future. This film follows people driven to preserve meaningful objects in the aftermath of 9/11 and other upheavals. Otherwise ordinary items come to symbolize experiences, aspirations, and identity. Without the objects, the stories would lack vibrancy; without the stories the objects would lack significance. Taken together, the images of the objects and the stories they evoke lead the viewer on a journey where the commonplace is transformed into the remarkable and where the stuff of history is highly personalized.

Design, Building & Construction - Is N.Y.C.'s new law helping M/WBEs
It's been more than a year since New York City Mayor Michael Bloom-berg signed off on an historic edict that requires all New York City agencies to award a reasonable number of construction and service contracts to minority and women-owned businesses. Yet, it still is unclear if the highly touted initiative is working for M/WBEs hoping to tap into multibillion-dollar design, building, construction and related contracts in the Big Apple.
Signed in December 2005, Local Law 129 effectively established a goals-based program for contract granting by city agencies. City agencies now must submit annual procurement plans highlighting the use of certified M/WBEs as vendors in all aspects of service and product enterprises. The Department of Small Business Services was given the unenviable task of establishing the goals-based plan and monitoring its effectiveness. While statistics for fiscal 2006 (ended June 30, 2006) are unavailable, various documents and releases show that the agency at least has been instrumental in "making the certification process of M/WBE firms easier and eliminating bureaucratic hurdles."
Freedom Tower questions
New York's City's building frenzy continues unabated. In late February, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Board of Commissioners approved nearly $500 million worth of construction projects for the Freedom Tower at Ground Zero, site of the fallen World Trade Center. New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer initially debunked the project, but he has since reversed that stance, paving the way for M/WBEs to nab some of the lucrative contracts with the Port Authority. Whether M/WBEs, particularly construction industry related businesses, will be included in the mix in appreciable numbers remains questionable. To date, only one African-American-owned business, Burwell and Associates of Great Neck, N.Y., has participated in the project, providing electrical supplies services to prime contractors.
Lash Green, general manager for small business programs at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, insists that minority vendor participation in the Freedom Tower project will be significant. "Our expected goal is about 17 percent M/WBE participation," Green says. "But due to the newness of the project and contracts, we are still crunching the numbers."
With many of the contracts likely to be assigned as early as this summer, the Port Authority is working with Tischman Construction Corp. to find minority vendors. Green says the two have a long-standing relationship and in the past, Tischman has exceeded M/WBE participation goals.
Michael Jones-Bey, director of the division of minority and women's business development for the state of New York, says his office has received inquiries from M/WBEs about Freedom Tower contracts and other major construction projects in the state. Jones-Bey is spearheading Lt. Gov. David Patterson's campaign to bring M/WBEs back into New York State's vendor database. "The previous administration was hostile and not at all supportive to M/WBEs. Gov. Spitzer and Lt. Gov. Patterson are determined to change this image of M/WBEs at the state level," he says.
Hispanics and African-American business enterprises combined received less than 2 percent of all state contracts during that administration, he says.
Back to the basics
Michael Garner, senior director at the New York City School Construction Authority and an outspoken advocate for M/WBEs, says the city has wracked up an atrocious record in awarding substantial service contracts to minority businesses. Still, Black firms comprise nearly one-fifth of all New York construction companies, but not a single Black firm in the city has the finances, bonding or union relationships to build a $20 million-$30 million project as a general contractor, he says. Mentoring programs for M/WBEs at the SCA, the Port Authority and other agencies can change that, he contends.
"Funding vehicles, increasing bonding capacity and guiding M/WBEs through the certification process are what we provide to minority-owned businesses. Without acquiring these basic fundamentals, M/WBE active participation in city and state multimillion dollar projects will continue to be non-existent," he says.
In the next five to seven years, meanwhile, the SCA plans to build more than 100 new schools at a staggering cost over $13 billion, Garner says. "Our goal is to award at least 20 percent of that amount to SCA-certified minority businesses," Garner says.
Construction management firms
Unlike Black general contractors, Black-owned construction management firms appear to be flourishing. Indeed, CMs, as they are called in construction industry lingo, have nabbed major projects in the region. According to the Construction Management Association of America, the industry trade group, CMs manage the planning, design and construction of projects from inception to completion, while general contractors, or GCs, are the actual builders for a project.
Howell Industries, a construction-management firm in New York headed by Bill Howell, is involved in the $140 million renovation of Harlem Hospital. The firm serves as a mentor to smaller contractors. "We want to bring more Black businesses onboard to serve as general contractors on multimillion dollar construction projects," says Howell, who chairs the SCA's Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Committee. "The way to start to do this is by actively promoting mentoring programs."
In New Jersey, The CM Consortium, a venture of Tishman Construction, Parsons Brinckerhoff and ARUP, an international engineering and global design company, was tapped late last year to provide construction management services for NJ Transit. The contract is worth more than $5 million. CM Consortium will oversee the building of the new trans-Hudson tunnel and related projects.
The set-aside debate
California tycoon and anti-affirmative action proponent Ward Connerly, who is on a mission to get all government set-aside programs repealed, reportedly has his eyes set on New York following his successes in California and Michigan. In 1996, California enacted Proposition 209, essentially eliminating all set-aside programs in education and business. Last year, Michigan voters passed Proposition 2, which effectively abolished set-aside programs in the state. Connerly's campaign could result in similar consequences for elsewhere, including New York and New Jersey, some contend.
Kenneth Neal, director of the office of Civil Rights for New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, says Connerly should redirect his focus. "The issue should be why are all non-small businesses getting 90 percent of all the contracts and M/WBEs getting less than 10 percent," Neal says. "Primary contracts are going to friends and connections and not being bid."
Green of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says, set-aside programs are essential, at least for the time being, in order to bring more minority-owned businesses into the nation's economy. "I don't think we should have set-asides forever. M/WBEs should utilize the tools provided by the programs and then eventually be allowed to effectively compete for bids," he says. The Port sets aside approximately 40 – 50 contracts annually for M/WBEs, Green says.
Connerly's supporters are calling for greater emphasis on social programs. "Federal agencies should consider race-neutral alternatives," says Ira Davidson, director of the Small Business Dev-elopment Center at Pace University in New York.
For Rita Gunther McGrath, an associate professor of business at Columbia Business School, social programs, such as training or working through the Small Business Development Center (part of the U.S. Small Business Administration are more pragmatic than set-asides. "Set-asides burden the purchasing process and increase the cost of the government's public procurement process for social ends," she says. "The increased cost is from higher prices paid to favored vendors."
Such arguments may be based on false assumptions, says Jones-Bey of the New York State Department of Economic Development. "It's racist to assume that M/WBE firms that are receiving contracts are not qualified and driving up costs. If anything, M/WBEs are major contributors to economic growth and jobs, many of which are in urban communities," he says.
Denying minority enterprises access to the city's design, building and construction-related contracts, and therefore their ability to provide work for urban youth, could lead to dire social consequences, warns Garner of the SCA. "If we do not find a way to engage the minority population in the building of our schools {and businesses} in the immediate months and years ahead, we will be building prisons in the next 10 or 20 years," he says.

We left Cappadocia and headed south and soon were climbing into the mountains, highest point of the road was 1500m. I took a shot through the windscreen, for the impression, but they were really spectacular and snow-capped.

Kentucky Derby 2014 Events: Celebrity Musician Performs Oaks Day
Did you know that a famous Kentuckian is giving a live performance at Churchill Downs on Oaks Day? After the Fillies run for the Lilies on Oaks Day on May 2 in Louisville, Kentucky, there will be a new, exciting event at Churchill Downs. While working with the official Kentucky Derby tickets partner, Derby Experiences, I learned that this after-Oaks party was the first of its kind. In years past, Churchill Downs did not have a top-tiered celebrity entertainment event, but this year will set a new precedent for tourists unable to afford the high-priced tickets and exclusive invite-only celebrity-related galas.
New renovations bring party deck venue above grandstand
Over the past years, Churchill Downs has been under construction. The renovations have included behind the scenes improvements to stables, but a club-style entertainment area was developed to appeal to the younger demographic. Sunny's Halo Lounge certainly complements the vibe instigated by the Downs after Dark events held during the summer at Churchill Downs after the Kentucky Derby. Sunny's Halo Lounge is making its debut as a top-tier race-viewing venue, a rooftop party deck located atop the grandstand across from the gigantic, new video board.
Kentucky celebrity offers headline entertainment
When America thinks about famous people from Kentucky, names like Johnny Depp, Hunter S. Thompson, George Clooney and Jennifer Lawrence come to mind. However, one of the most famous talent families in the Bluegrass State will be showing their "Unbridled Spirit" on Oaks Day. Unlike other events held on Derby weekend, this occasion will have reasonably priced tickets that are exclusively available through the Churchill Downs' Official travel/experience partner, QuintEvents' Derby Experiences.
Gracing horse racing fans with her presence, the ever-popular Wynonna Judd will take the stage at the Kentucky Derby Museum on Friday night following the running of the Kentucky Oaks. This means that, for the first time, fans will not need to leave Churchill Downs after the Oaks race in order to attend a social affair. If you like to party with celebrities, insiders at Derby Experiences have noted that the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and Nichole Galicia from Django Unchained are already on the celeb list.
Get tickets for Wynnona Judd at Fillies and Lilies
Although tickets to the Kentucky Derby are available through Churchill Downs or Derby Experiences, it is Derby Experiences that will be selling the Fillies and Lilies Party tickets. For pricing, times and other details, visit the Derby Experiences website to get tickets to the Fillies and Lilies Party Friday night and to Sunny's Halo Lounge for the racing on Friday and Saturday.
