For everyday I
fed myself, but not my soul,
I beg Your mercy.
have sought to defy Your plans,
have failed to love as You love,
have closed my heart to Your touch,
refused Your tender embrace,
cruelly pierced Your Sacred Heart,
Let me not forget
that though my sins abound, Lord,
more so does Your grace.
Ninth Day: St. Thomas, patron of students"For in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind" (1 Cor 1:5).
St. Thomas, God called you to spend most of your life in academic pursuits, first as a student, and then as a professor of theology. In your work as a teacher, you desired to help your students apply what they learned to their lives, in order to grow in holiness. You realized that knowledge is meant to draw people closer to God. In your teaching you sought to communicate the truth, desiring to help your students become better Christians.
Pray for all students. Pray for those who may have difficulty in their studies, as well as for those who can study with ease. Pray that they may all be open to the truth, and always seek to better understand it. May they grow in knowledge so as to know God better and to be able to serve their brothers and sisters as the Lord desires. St. Thomas, pray especially for theologians, that in their studies and research they may come to a deeper knowledge of revealed doctrine in keeping with the mind of the Church. May their lives reflect the holiness of the Word of God which they seek to more fully under stand.
(Recite the novena prayer.)
Eighth Day: St. Thomas, teacher of prayer"Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving" (Col 4:2).
St. Thomas, you knew that prayer is the source of wisdom and you spent long hours in conversation with God. Prayer became your very life.Whenever you pondered over a problem in theology, you turned to prayer to seek God's enlightenment. Now in heaven you see God face to face. Pray for me, too, that I might become a person of profound prayer. Obtain for me the grace that I might always pray with humility, confidence and perseverance. Help me to grow more and more in the spirit of prayer, so that my whole life may become a prayer. May I always seek the face of the living God.
Seventh Day: St. Thomas, defender of the Church"…the Church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth" (1 Tim 3:15).
St. Thomas, from your youth you learned to love the Church, your spiritual home. In your teaching, you sought to explain and defend the doctrine of the Church, making it known through your writings. You understood that true wisdom means to let oneself be instructed by the Church, for Jesus guaranteed that the Holy Spirit would always be with the Church, to lead it into all truth. At the end of your life you said, "I have taught and written much…according to my faith in Christ and in the holy Roman Church, to whose judgment I submit all my teaching."
Intercede for the Church today, that it might grow stronger and more spiritually fruitful in the world. Raise up holy priests, religious and laity, that they may all be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Bless the pope in his efforts to guide the Church, witnessing to the power of the Gospel to renew the face of the earth. May all theologians work to explore the richness of Catholic teaching so as to show forth its truth and benefit the faithful. Pray for missionaries as they work to spread the Gospel. May the whole Church be renewed by the power of the Spirit to more effectively witness to Christ in the world today.
Fifth Day: St. Thomas, afire with love for the Blessed Sacrament"So Jesus said to them, 'Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you"' (Jn 6:53).
St. Thomas, you had a great love for Jesus in the Holy Eucharist and spent many hours in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. You once said that you learned more from prayer before the tabernacle than from many hours of study. The Church owes you a debt of gratitude for the beautiful Eucharistic hymns you wrote at the request of Pope Urban IV, for the newly-established feast of Corpus Christi.
Pray that I too might be inflamed with an ardent love for the Holy Eucharist. Help me to always esteem and reverence this wonderful sacrament. Pray for me that I might always participate devoutly in Mass, receive Holy Communion with great fervor, and often visit Jesus in the tabernacle. Through con tact with the Eucharistic Lord, may my heart overflow with love for God and for my neighbor.

Hello Poetry
I wont ruin this post with my useless comments. Lets start it off with Ash Blennett's wonderful words about poetry:
"Poetry is the camera of the writing world. Within the (relatively) few lines and structure you create, you have the opportunity to create a portrait of an emotion, a snapshot of something perfect, something splendidly horrific, something entirely too human for words. Whether you write about loss or love or joy or triumph, you have an opportunity to catch, in that small space, a little bit of the human condition on paper, and even more magnificent, you have the opportunity to let people *feel* through your words."
I came across a wonderful site called Hello Poetry where it has a bunch of amazing poems. Not only will you stumbleupon great poetry, but you can join the site, and publist your won work, and connect with other poets/ poetry lovers out there.
Oh the internet such a remarcable place.
Newspaper Blackout Poems
I've been a fan of blackout poems ever since I saw them on Tumblr. And I think I'm quit stupid for not making a post about it! So as the name saya it's pomes from news paper where the blackout what's useless. How brilliant is this idea! I swear some people out there are just bloddy creative!

ScreenWriting Tips
So I have this silly dream of wanting to be a director one day, and as you guys know, there's no such thing for a girl in Saudi studying film. So what do we do, we escape to the world of the internet and learn from there. (isn't technology just wonderful!) And I realized later on that filming, isn't only about the idea, equipment, or place. it's more than that it's everything from angles, idea, story, camera, lighting, and much much more. [Someone should come up with a filming equation] Anywhozeles, Screen writing is part of that equation. I came a cross a blog that's dedicated to screen writing tips. It opens your eyes to teh mistakes you used to do whilst filming, and building your charachters. here are a few of them, but I encourage you all aspired film makers to visit the blog and read all the tips!

"Our Bloodstained Roof" By Ryan Andrews
"Hi, I'm Ryan Andrews. After graduating high school, I moved to Southern California to find fame and fortune. I found neither, but I did score an internship at a 3d animation company.

To citizen helper, I can only speak from my experience with code enforcement, when I complained about a guy on the opposite block from me who continually uses his backyard for his parking, I allowed code officer to enter my yard to see, the thing he emphasized the most was am I willing to go to court about this because if code officers can't see it from the front of said house they can't do anything about it, I would have to attend to represent the city, that's just ludicrous! Again why bother.
J L Fletcher (Guest)
Same here. The house behind me @ 1921 Oakwood (I think) has a effeciency apt in the back. Many years ago the man that owened the property was allowed to let his Mother live there, yet my Father was told he had to remove the house he had built (50's) as these were Single Family dwellings. Last time I looked at my Appraisal, it still shows Single Family Dwelling.... SO ?? why are they allowed to rent out &/or let people live there? Codes advised if they would not let them go in back yard to see it, they could do nothing. CODE is being violated, and they cant do anything???? Thats why the properties around here are rented and they rent to druggies, low lifes, and sex offenders. Go figure.
Tony Hiles (Guest)
I completely understand your frustration, almost seems like a city philosophy to help the code violators get away with stuff as in tell them to build a fence or screen your property and nobody will be able to see the dozen wrecked vehicles in your back yard! I was asked by code enforcement was I willing to go to court about some code violations, if that's what it take I would welcome the opportunity!
j. Fletcher (Guest)
I filed a complaint to HC website and today codes came by and took picture of truck in front yard (mind you 2 drive ways and no cars there, yet they park in middle of yard??) Also took picture of 3ft grass at side of house and a couple other pictures and posted sticker on truck and tag on front door. Now this was early morning, and the ole gal just got up (nearly 4pm) and went out to truck and left. geez. They think they still live south of the border. As far as the house in back.... he is still sawing and building on it. Guess its ok to not follw codes for some. A-1Single Family Dwelling on Appraisal must mean you can build it---they will come.

Dear reporter
You may be disappointed to learn that the City may have purchased the rights of access through your property ,many property owners ago. The City may prevent you from building on that portion of your property. But YOU still have to maintain it and pay TAXES on it.
If this easement is not actually on your parents' property then it is likely owned by your neighbor. All the above applies as well.
Good luck
lorieok (Guest)
Thanks. Yes I aware of this. My parents maintain their part of the easement by having their yard service mow and trim any unwanted brush that comes up. The area that concerns me is a concrete culvert in this easement that is cracked and broken so it is no longer draining properly therefore water collects and sits in this area. Also debris collects here and weeds/unwanted plants grow inside the broken concrete. They are unable to maintain this area. The other side of the culvert belongs to a neighbor and has become a dumping area for trash and debris from unknown parties.
Also a city employee did come out and look at the area. He threw a mosquito dunk in the drainage culvert and said he did not know who was responsible for maintaining the concrete culvert/drainage swale but he would look into it. He also said they would come back and clean up the other side of the culvert. We are waiting to see what happens next.

text: In this verse translation of "Cliges," written by Chretien de Troyes circa 1176, Ruth Harwood Cline not only preserves the artistry of the original work but also captures the wit, irony, and striking emotional power of Chretien's stylistic genius and highly structured form.The romance begins with the marriage of Cliges's parents and continues with the clandestine, mutual love of their son and his uncle's bride, Fenice. Cliges and Fenice are finally united after executing a false-death plot aided by black magic.With a thoroughness and clarity that will appeal to students and scholars of medieval literature, Cline's accessible translation effectively conveys the sparkle, pace, and intricate wordplay of Chretien's love monologues, classic themes, and complex poetic devices. In addition, her introduction sheds new light on the transmission of British history and legend to the French court of Champagne. With themes that echo from the Tristan legend to "Romeo and Juliet," "Cliges" is an exciting romance about young lovers who escape from an arranged match and find true love in marriage.--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

I would take anyone who was available — my sister, my mother, any friends — and I would kill them in crazy ways. We would do makeup effects. … I would make blood and ask my mom if I could borrow her makeup — which didn't trouble her because she knew I was going to basically just kill someone with it. It was all ridiculous.

JJ Abrams explains why he tries to keep the plot of his films under wraps: "The experience of going to a film and seeing the movie and not knowing every plot twist is something that has been ruined and spoiled for movie-goers. I don't want to be coy or some type of jerk or be withholding — it's not a Machiavellian sort of thing — it's literally wanting people to have a good time and to have a little bit of a surprising time. So whenever I'm trying to keep things quiet, it is 100 percent an effort to make the experience of actually seeing the movie or TV show more enjoyable for the viewers."

In my column this week, I take a look at the contenders for "the song of the summer," and offer a couple suggestions of my own …
REMINDER!!! 'New Voices' tonight on WCCA TV 13!
Well, as pretty much anybody standing in my general vicinity knows, this was our first week publishing fiction at Radius. Did it go well? It's honestly still too early to tell, but I know I'm pleased with the results, and stoked about the future.
The decision to begin eyeing the connections between poetry and genre fiction was perhaps a counter-intuitive one, but from where I'm standing, it seems a natural line of study: The first poems preserved the stories of gods and heroes, and genre fiction is steeped in metaphors and symbolism that we almost no longer recognize as such. It struck me as interesting terrain to explore.
And trust me, we're just getting started.
The decision to serialize stories came from thinking about the heroes and stories of the 19th century, how fans would return to a periodical to read the next part of a Doyle or Dickens story. This seems unnecessary on the Internet, where you can have whole libraries at your disposal instantly. But still … I was curious. I wanted to know if anyone would respond to that sort of serialization, if they would develop that sort of reading habit. Frankly, I wanted to know if people missedanticipation for stories. Certainly, there's anticipation for new seasons of TV shows and sequels to movies, to the next issue of a comic book or the seemingly unreachable next George R.R. Martin novel. We talk about the story, but is the waiting for the story part of the experience?
I don't know. We're serializing four stories at the moment, each of which will run for a few weeks. Maybe everybody will just be annoyed, and indicate that they prefer reading everything in one gulp. Or maybe people will enjoy the format, and enjoy the thrill of waiting. Damned if I know. We'll find out when we get there.
Anyway, here's an index of the experiment so far. If you've not checked some of this out, I wholeheartedly suggest you do. We brought in some top-notch genre writers to launch this thing, and I 'm terribly grateful for their support and encouragement:
Introduction: Prayers and Stories: Pulling New Heroes From the Oldest Well, By victor D. Infante
Serialized Stories:
Mondays: Union Dues: Freedom with a small f (Part One), by Jeffrey R. DeRego
Tuesdays: Baby Detonate for Me (Part One), By Victor D. Infante
Wednesdays: Pink Aviary (Part One), by B. DeMarco-Barrett
Thursdays: Murder by Remote Control: an Essex Man story (Part One), by Gary Phillips
Related Essay:
On Falling: Action Heroes, Metaphor and Gravity, by Sam Cha: Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four.
And there we are. That's a heck of a lot of content for one week, isn't it? We'll be slowing down a bit, over the next week or so, and only serializing stories. After that, poetry will work its way back into the mix, and the two will co-exist in harmony. Hopefully. I guess we'll know when we get there.
(P.S.: Check out the nifty redesign by Lea C. Deschenes! We're still tweaking it, but so far, it looks gorgeous!)
Of the relatively major poets who were born or lived in the Worcester area, Etheridge Knight gets little local attention. Knight only lived here intermittently in the '80s, unlike natives Elizabeth Bishop, Stanley Kunitz and Charles Olson, who pretty much all moved away when they reached adulthood. And perhaps, in some ways, he's a problematic writer to celebrate, suffering as he did from drug and alcohol addiction.
It's a cardinal rule in journalism: The story doesn't always end where you think it does. Frequently, there are one or two little details that linger afterward, small codas in the ashes that remind us that most of the stories we write aren't ever really over.
Post with 1 note
Hi. My name is Victor Infante, and I write stuff for a living. Sometimes poems, sometimes stories, sometimes reviews of rock and pop shows. You can read more about that on my newly revamped website. It's not a bad life, as it goes. It never seems to pay enough, and I always feel like I'm a little behind on everything. But it has its perks.
Sometimes, if you're very lucky, a life in writing means you get to see things that are truly amazing.
Today, a number of my colleagues covered President Barack Obama speaking at The Worcester Technical High School graduation, and I confess, part of me is a little jealous. Not because I harbor any burning desires to jump back into hard news, but because it was one of those moments where the stars aligned and, if you step back, you can see the thousand small threads that connect everything: Dozens of bright teenagers, facing the blank canvas of a future, and — whether you care for him or not — one of the most powerful people on the planet. And we look at the latter, and say he's the story, but that's not quite right. And we look at those dozens of teenagers, poised on the edge of metamorphosis, and say that's commonplace, when really it's remarkable.
Without those kids, the president being here would be just a travel itinerary. And certainly, his presence made us look at them, but the truth is each and every one of them — the students and the president and the audience and the people reading the newspaper — are stories in progress. They're love stories and tragedies, heroic epics and cautionary tales, Horatio Alger rags-to-riches stories and small, quiet firefly stories that burn briefly and bright.
Being able to tell those stories is a privilege, and if I'm completely honest, it's a privilege I never quite feel the people and companies who own newspapers ever seem to quite understand. How could they? Most of them come from some other world: From ad sales or venture capital or something sensible like that. There's always that small gap in understanding between what they see and what we do. It's the nature of the beast.
But once in a while, we get lucky. We get to stand at the axis where the meek and the powerful converge, and we have the privilege to report back what we find there. And maybe that changes the world a little. And maybe it doesn't. But either way, we get to point and say This. This matters. Pay attention.
And most people probably won't. There's also usually a gap there, too. But it doesn't matter. You still get to tell the story, and in that telling, you help make the world just a little more real. You hold up a sign that says that we were here, and this is who we were. And sometimes that's terrible. I made my way back to arts reporting because I wanted to look at the best in people for a while, wanted to watch people who create, and tell their stories. But as hard as it probably was, this one looked like a good day. I hope it was — I left the office before the reporters came back. And as I said, I'm a little jealous. I always want to see things I'll probably never be able to see again. It's the best part of this job. Sometimes, it's what makes it all worthwhile.
Did I enjoy last night's John Legend concert at The Hanover? Oh, yeah.

IN CASED YOU MISSED IT!!!Further Seems Forever, one of my favorite bands and you could say one of those most influential bands in the indie scene (if you look at the overall success of members, offshoots, and sideprojects) has just signed to Rise Records - as of August 2nd, 2012. AND they are releasing a new album this October WITH original front man (and the magic behind Dashboard Confessional) Chris Carrabba!This is such an awesome excuse to bust out my old FF and DC albums!
Why is this such a big deal???
Because they quit! And now they're back! We haven't seen a new album from these guys in eight years! AND since starting (with Carrabba) they have cycled through a total of three singers! It's so nice to see him put Dashboard aside and pick up his original strings :)

is it possible to return/exchange the mighty mouse that came with my computer if using it causes me chronic wrist/hand pain?
Many users (particularly on Mac forums, but even in the reviews of the mouse) are complaining that the design isn't very ergonomic. From using the one that came with my new iMac (purchased January 2013), I've found that I'm experiencing chronic pains in my wrist and hand, often hours or days after I've stopped using it... say on a weekend off from the office or something along those lines. I'm wondering if there is an official Apple policy to address this problem. Is it possible to exchange the mighty mouse for a track pad or a different mouse solution? I definitely cannot go on using what I've got now.

LONDONDERRY — A former youth football coach is facing multiple sexual assault charges after allegedly fondling two of his daughter's middle-school-aged classmates during sleepovers at his Londonderry home, police said. Timothy G. Longua, 41, of 7 Lane Way, turned himself in on a warrant by Londonderry Police shortly before 8 p.m. Friday evening. Longua had been scheduled for arraignment in Derry District Court Monday morning; however, his arraignment was rescheduled after he posted $10,000 cash bail and was released from Rockingham County Jail Saturday. According to a release from Londonderry police Monday morning, Longua is due in 10th Circuit Court, Derry District Division, March 25 at 8:15 a.m. Local police were contacted by the officials from the state Department of Children, Youth and Families in early February, according to Londonderry Police Detective Donald A. LaDuke. LaDuke said one of the young female victims gave a statement to officials at the Child Advocacy Center of Rockingham County on Feb. 12. The victim said Longua first assaulted her at her friend's house during the summer of 2012 when she was 11 years old. She described Longua as being "really drunk" at the time and alleged Longua crept into the bedroom and touched her breasts, buttocks and private area while she slept. A similar incident occurred later that summer, when the victim alleged that Longua, who she said placed his hands under her shirt and tried to push her hand down his pants, awakened her again. A third incident occurred at a sleepover in late December, when Longua allegedly fondled the victim one more time, despite her protests. The victim, now 12, told officials she believed Longua had assaulted at least one other preteen girl, also 12. LaDuke said the second victim said she reported an incident of Longua "rubbing her thighs, lower buttocks when she was wearing shorts" to Longua's wife, Maura, who allegedly told her she'd tell her husband "to stop doing that," according to the court records. Both victims told authorities Longua was "always drunk" when they were over and they both said they saw Longua drinking multiple Bud Light beers from a downstairs refrigerator. Maura Longua reportedly told police that drinking "is her husband's weakness." While state child welfare officials interviewed two other classmates who'd slept over the Longua home, no further disclosures of possible sexual assault charges have been made, LaDuke said. Londonderry Police interviewed Longua on Feb. 20, and he denied all accusations although he admitted his fondness for beer and reportedly told police that "he doesn't want to admit to something he doesn't remember," according to police statements. A call made to the Longua household wasn't immediately returned. According to Ryan Ouellette, president of the Londonderry Wildcats Football and Youth Spirit League, Longua was an assistant football coach for the Londonderry Wildcats for the 2012 football season. The 2012 football season started in July of 2012 and was completed in November of 2012. Longua was one of a group of seven adults, including a team parent, who were responsible for coaching/managing a group of 35 second- and third-grade football players, all young boys, on the Wildcat U3 football team.
Updated: Ex-Londonderry coach accused of sex assault on pre-teen girls
Previous story follows:
LONDONDERRY— A former youth football coach is in custody after being arrested on a warrant for multiple sexual assault charges involving a 13-year-old victim, police said.
Timothy G. Longua, 41, of 7 Lane Way, turned himself in on a Londonderry police warrant shortly before 8 p.m. Friday evening. His arraignment in Derry District Court Monday morning was postponed. Police shared few details of the incident, saying the investigation is ongoing.
Longua faces four charges of aggravated felonious sexual assault/fondling and two charges of felonious sexual assault/forcible fondling.
Bail for Longua was set at $10,000 cash, which Longua posted.
According to Ryan Ouellette, president of the Londonderry Wildcats Football and Youth Spirit League, Longua was an assistant football coach for the Londonderry Wildcats for the 2012 football season. The 2012 football season started in July of 2012 and was completed in November of 2012. Longua was one of a group of seven adults, including a team parent, who were responsible for coaching/managing a group of 35 second- and third-grade football players, all young boys, on the Wildcat U3 football team.
Ouellette issued the following statement on behalf of the Wildcat program: "All coaches, team parents, and board members of the Londonderry Wildcats are required to obtain background checks from the National Center for Safety Initiatives. As of July of 2012, all board members, team parents and coaches, including Mr. Longua, passed our NCSI background screenings. All Wildcat football and cheerleading activities are conducted as group activities with multiple adults in attendance, including coaching staffs and parents who are free to attend all practices and game-day activities. Further, it has always been the policy of the Londonderry Wildcats to have a board member present at all activities, including team practices, events and games."
Ouellette concluded his statement by saying, "As of this time we do not know all the details of the alleged incident, and our thoughts and prayers remain with the Longua family."

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Phoenix Suns confused me like no other on this draft day.
With three picks in the first round, the Suns got some high-quality talent, but it just didn't feel like a massive haul.
Warren is a great scorer. The best way to describe him is, despite lacking superior athleticism, he just finds a way to put the ball in the hoop. Phoenix needed help at small forward.
Ennis is someone who could play for my team. He's a gamer and was by far the best point guard available at 18. (Sorry, Shabazz Napier fans.) Ennis will fill the backup point guard role and could see more minutes if Eric Bledsoe bolts via free agency.
Bogdanovich is a strong scorer, although not a strong shooter, or a great athlete. He's been a winner at every level and in every league. Bogdanovich is also a decent play-maker. He may not be in Phoenix next season, but he's a solid stash candidate.
Again, I like all three, but it just doesn't wow me.

Breast Cancer Clothing: Bras, Scarves, Accessories, and More
From the Top Down continued...
In addition to wigs, you can also buy several styles of "hat hair." Those are hairpieces that don't cover the whole scalp, but are designed to be worn under a hat, giving you bangs or a ponytail to frame your face. "These too have become a lot more sophisticated," says Kelly. "The hair may be on a headband, so you can switch it with different hats. We're strongly focused on having the patient not look like a cancer patient, so these styles make more of a fashion statement."
Many women end up wearing their wigs out in public, but relaxing in a hat or scarf (or no head covering at all) at home. "Hats can be a big accessory," says McLeod. "You can wear formal, dressy, velvet ones with pins, or wear a baseball cap all day, all summer long. We have everything from solid turbans to ready-wear caps with a short bandanna attached." Most hats for women undergoing chemotherapy are soft, to be gentle on sensitive bare skin, and have drawstrings inside to resize and accommodate wearing with or without a wig.
"I lived in my scarves," says Rubien, a four-year breast cancer survivor herself. There are long scarves you can wrap up, standard squares you can tie in a triangle, and even ready-mades that pop on your head and adjust with a cord. Worried that your scarf will slide off your bald head? Most cancer boutiques sell light "sleep caps" or padded "scarf filler" caps that keep even slippery silk scarves in place.
Breast Cancer Awareness Accessories
And of course, no guide to breast cancer accessories would be complete without a look at awareness accessories. Today, you can literally buy almost anything with the famous pink ribbon on it, from hats and socks to bookmarks, dog collars, and eyeglass cases. But the perennial favorites, says Kelly, are pink ribbon lapel pins and silicone bracelets a la Lance Armstrong, along with baseball caps and sweatshirts. "I do believe that women who've had breast cancer are on a mission for awareness, and rightfully so. And this can be their way of advertising it."

Beekeeping Basics: Equipment List
Like many other hobbies and pastimes, the start-up costs to get kitted out in beekeeping are a bit steep. But once you have the gear, much of it will last a lifetime, and only certain parts need occasional replacement and repair. The real danger is beekeeping's addictive nature. It starts with one hive, and then a few more. Before you know it you have a couple dozen hives in three locations and a very sticky pickup truck. If that happens to you, know that you are in good company. But for anyone looking to start with just one hive, here are the basic pieces of equipment.
Note: As always, there are many different opinions on the correct way to set up a hive, what to wear, what is essential, what is superfluous, etc. These are my own opinions based on my own experiences in northern New England using traditional equipment. I encourage anyone with an interest to read a few books and, most importantly, talk to a local beekeeper about what works in your area.
• Hive Bodies and Covers: These are the boxes that the bees live in and where they store honey. There are three different sizes: deep, medium and shallow. I like to use two deeps for the living quarters (where the bees lay their eggs and store the pollen and nectar that will get them through the winter), and shallows for the honey supers. I used mediums as honey supers once and they were ridiculously heavy when full, so I switched to shallows. There are two covers needed, a wooden inner cover and a weatherproof outer cover.
• Frames: These are the structures where the bees create the honeycomb, which they then fill with eggs, nectar, or pollen. There are many different types. I use a few plastic frames I inherited but mostly more traditional wooden ones. These have a delicate beeswax wafer in the center, called foundation, which the bees draw out into full honeycomb. There are nine or ten frames per hive, depending on your methods.
• Bottom Boards: A bottom board is basically what it sounds like, a board that goes below all of the other hive components. There are screened bottom boards, solid ones, and some with built-in entrance reducers.
• Protective Clothing: Everyone has an opinion on how much protective gear you should wear when tending your bees. Almost everyone wears a veil, which is the netted headgear that protects your face. After that it comes down to comfort level. You can buy a full set of coveralls, just a jacket, long leather gloves, and even white rubber boots. I go with jeans, sneakers and a jacket with attached veil. And while I did not always wear gloves, after a few stings on my hand that made my fingers swell up like sausages, I am now a glove man.
• Smoker: Your best friend and worst enemy. You will love it because nothing calms down an agitated hive of bees like a few puffs of cool white smoke. You will hate it because it will never stay lit in your early beekeeping days and inevitably go out when you are elbow deep in the second hive body. Practice lighting and maintaining your smoker, often. Trust me on this one, it is time well spent. Of course, whether your smoker stays lit depends largely on your smoker fuel, which is another hotly contested topic. I have found that nothing beats pine shavings, which are readily available as hamster bedding in pet stores.
• Hive Tool: This is sort of a sharp pry-bar, useful for many tasks but mainly used for separating and removing frames from a hive body.
• Feeder: Supplemental feeding of bees in spring and fall is a common practice. The usual food is a sugar syrup you make yourself, using different ratios of sugar to water depending on the season.
• Uncapping Knife: This implement removes the wax covering that the bees deposit over the honey to keep it from absorbing water. This is done right before the honey is extracted. This can be as simple as a long flat knife dipped in hot water to a heated one you plug in.
• Extractor and Containers: Extractors are expensive pieces of equipment that no novice with one hive should purchase for their own use. It is much more economical for a number of beekeepers to share one extractor. The extractor itself is sort of a centrifuge, which spins uncapped frames of honey at a high speed until all of the honey clings to the sides of the extractor and is dripped to the bottom, which has a spout for easy removal of the honey into a bucket or jars. Jars and containers come in as many shapes and sizes as you can imagine; you'll need some for your harvest.
• Electric Fence: If you live in bear country, you need a fence. Otherwise you will end up buying a lot of equipment a second time.
• Bees (of course!): Bees are shipped in what is called a 'package', which usually consists of three pounds of bees and a mated queen. Three pounds equals about 10,000 bees, and they come in a shoebox sized wooden box with screened sides. These used to be shipped directly to individuals by mail, but now it is much more common to have them delivered to a central location for pick-up, usually a beekeeping supply store.
That covers the basics. There are a bunch of other things, from beekeeping books to honey jar labels, that you will no doubt find useful and end up spending some money on. Remember, beekeepers love to share, be it information or equipment, so ask around before you dive in. But be wary of purchasing used hive bodies and frames — deadly mites can live on old gear, so be sure to know who you are buying from.

Although I applaud your effort to encourage bee-keeping, I can't but wonder why this is posted on this blog. I doubt many apartment dwellers have the opportunity to raise bees and, if they can, wouldn't they look up Mother Earth News rather than your blog? Just sayin'.
Because it is interesting and awesome.
Luckily, I have a friend that is a bee keeper. She helped me this morning to try to convince a swarm to leave the hole in the tree in my front yard. I am still waiting for the bees to vacate... if anyone around the metrowest Boston area needs a couple thousand bees, email me!
If my yard were a bit bigger, I would happily let the bees stay. Since they are trying to nest just 6 feet up from the ground & about 6 feet from my front door, they need to live elsewhere :)
@Classof65, Apartment dwellers can keep bees just like anyone else. Lots of people keep bees on the roofs of their buildings.
As someone who is deadly allergic to bees, I might have a problem with my neighbor keeping a hive of bees. I understand you like beekeeping and all, but even with my epi-pen if I don't get to the hospital in 15 minutes my throat swells shit and I die. It's not like I'm unusual either, Millions of people are allergic, and most don't even know it!
People shouldn't keep bee's unless they have the land to where no one else is going to be affected. Also some possible causes for colony collapse disorder include bee keeping practices and lack of biodiversity in the bee population. Sounds to me this is best left to nature and professionals, not someone with an apartment roof and too much free time.
shut, not shit
PaigeP, I hear your concerns about allergic neighbors and did address this issue in the second installment in this series, recommending people check in with those nearby concerning allergies and not trying to make beekeeping happen if it is a bad fit for their location. But there are amateur beekeepers all over the world who keep bees in small areas, including rooftops and apartment gardens. And in fact it is the amateurs and hobbyists who are actually increasing biodiversity and the general health of the bee population, spearheading more natural chemical-free beekeeping methods and helping to diversify the gene pool. The 'professionals' are the ones who suffer most from CCD because they tend to stress their bees with constant moving from location to location and often have their bees feed on pesticide-laden crops, while also medicating their bees and feeding them high-fructose corn syrup.
Considering the fact that roughly one-third of the food we eat is dependent on bee pollination, an increase in beekeeping should be encouraged and applauded by anyone who likes to eat.
Keep the bee posts coming!
In college I took a commercial beekeeping class! Fruit Science 123. It was great fun and a really cool benefit to going to a university with a big Ag college.
The one thing missing from this list is a water source. If you don't put out a source of hydration for your bees they will find it elsewhere, like your neighbor's pool, birdbath, dog water dish, etc. Then you will have a problem with your neighbors. We used a horse trough filled with water and some dry manzanita branches stuck in the water as a landing spot.
As far as protective clothing goes we just wore veils and "bee shirts" which was an old men's woven shirt from the flea market. Bee's hate knit fabrics and if you are wearing a sweatshirt or t-shirt they will try to sting you through the fabric. Probably because their delicate leg hairs get stuck in the knit. Just pop the collar of your bee shirt and arrange the veil over it and you are good to go.
Leather gloves with long sleeves that have elastic that tightens over the elbow are great for learning, but when you get more experienced and comfortable you will probably ditch them.
The entire quarter I was stung three times, once on my foot because I was wearing sandals (not ideal footwear), once on my hand, and once on my thigh because I was leaning forward on a hive right over the entrance and the bees didn't like it. It isn't that bad if you aren't allergic.
As far as neighbors being allergic, it shouldn't be a problem if you water your bees and split your hives and re-queen when the time comes to prevent swarming. I've lived in an area where beekeepers come to winter their bees and have never been stung outside my class despite being around bees all the time. I think the average person's fear of being stung is a bit overblown.
I agree about the bee allergy issue. Its quite sad to me that people's desire for a hobby trumps another person life. Also, maybe if we stopped taking the bee's honey from them and supplementing it with nutritionally inferior sugar water, we would have fewer issues with colony collapse. The bees work very hard to make the honey, which is the perfect food for them only to have it taken away and replaced with sugar water. So wrong.
Sisterfunkhaus - You might want to do more research on the topic before writing about things you obviously don't understand.
Finding the right hive seems to be the hardest part when purchasing your beekeeping equipment . There are many models available each having its advantages and disadvantages.
Wow, I couldn't disagree more strongly with some of the comments that people have made here. As Violet Veil wrote, it seems like most people are writing from a position of ignorance.
Paigep, I'm sorry that you are so allergic and hope that you never have to use your epi-pen, but any place that people keep bees already has bees. Where I live, there's an average of 9 colonies per square mile and they range over miles to forage. Honey bees are usually only aggressive when protecting their hive. You're much more likely to get stung by a hornet, yellow jacket, or wasp. And statistically, you're more likely to get struck by lightning than to die of a bee sting. More people are killed by dogs every year than bees, but no one is suggesting that people give up the hobby of keeping dogs.
Also, suggesting that beekeeping should be left to the professionals is hard to hear. It's the commercial apiaries that are struggling right now, not small scale beekeepers.
Sisterfunkhaus, it sounds like you have more of a problem with commercial beekeepers, not backyard beekeepers. I don't know anyone who would take honey that their bees need to survive. And if you have a problem with commercial beekeepers then you also have a problem with all of the food that is grown that requires pollination by honeybees. It's probably more than you realize. Say goodbye to fruit and vegetables.
Very well stated, MiklakMiklak!
I am in Ridgefield, CT. Do you know of any beekeepers around this area that I could talk to or learn from?

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU freshman Jacobsen off to solid start
Arizona State freshman Eric Jacobsen has gotten off to a pretty solid start in his first season in Tempe.
A 6-foot-10 forward, Jacobsen is averaging 4.8 points and 2.9 rebounds in 12 minutes of action per game.
The Hamilton High School product grabbed nine rebounds against Sacramento State and scored 16 points against Hartford a few days later, showing glimpses of the potential that has head coach Herb Sendek excited for the player's future even while his present has been pretty good.
"Usually you're just not as far along as somebody who's 21 or 22 years old, especially if you're a frontcourt player," Sendek told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Tuesday. "There's still a pretty good learning curve in terms of the level of detail that now goes into each and every game."
Sendek likened Jacobsen to former ASU star Jeff Pendergraph, who entered college quite a bit smaller than he needed to be to compete at a high level.
"Eric comes in and he already has a solid base," Sendek said. "That's one real fundamental difference, is just being physically ready to play, which he is."

This article first appeared at TheNewAmerican.com on Friday, July 11, 2014:
On July 3, Science magazine reported that, using its models in place of data they claimed was unavailable, water flowing from fracking disposal wells in Oklahoma "is potentially responsible for the largest swarm" of earthquakes recently noted in that state. The report, available in full to subscribers only, was immediately picked up by the Los Angeles Times, which said the study confirmed the link between fracking and the earthquakes.
Science, published by the environmentalist group American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), has maintained a veneer of credibility for years while promoting the questionable science behind global warming. In December 2006, AAAS adopted an official statement on climate change:
