There should be no space between the frames as I understand until it is drawn out. I think you meant to say width instead of length!!
Small parts will still go through! Fill 1 container and see how it looks. Should probably be ok.
I usually wait about 3 days to let everything undesirable float to the top!!
Check the prices at Poor Valley Bee Farm 276-386-7786 no one will beat their price!!
Sure you can do it that way but you can some time have more than one laying worker. I would give each split a frame of eggs for at least 3 weeks or until you see a queen cell!!
The paint is on the outside of the box and paint stripper should be ok to use and should not harm the bees. If that is your preference to refinish the boxes then go for it!!
You can also find it on ebay with many options on how much you want!
Apivar is a strip and Apiguard is gel. They are not the same!!
I have ordered them from California before and received them in three days. That's pretty quick and I did not pay extra for overnite shipping!! I live on the Southwest part of Virginia
I use straw all the time in my smoker and have had no problems. Think I would look for some other issue as to why you lost them!!
Telescoping covers do not fit snug so there should be no problem!!
They are not bad. I would would use them!
If you have brood and the queen in the super then yes you should move it to the bottom and put the two deeps on the top!
Bees will not cap cells that are not full. Doesn't mean it is not cured or the right moisture! Think I read this somewhere.
You are not the first and won't be the last to do that. Yes I have done it also!
I am also thinking about using a cup of this mixture and soaking paper towels in a zip lock bag then put the paper towels under the inner cover for a lingering effect. The bees will eventually chew...
I intend to use 1 drop Thymol per ounce of FGMO and see how it works.
Is it cool in your basement. If so that is what made it crystallize!!
I would go with Cypress for longevity!!
Sounds like you may have a laying worker. If you have nothing but drone brood that is what you have!!
Same thing happened about 20 years ago with my first hive. Had no idea what what it was and called the only other beekeeper I knew and thats what he told me also. Goldenrod is probably what it is!!
Once honey cools of it can be harder to extract? I try to extract the same day I pull supers!
It would be best to set it on end in the original position as bees draw cells in a slightly upward position otherwise they might abscond. good luck!!
I start with 10 then reduced to 9 with no problem!

Research Institution:
AbstractPlanned science instruments require timeofflight (TOF) detectors with subpicosecond resolution, high count rates, and a large number (hundreds of thousands) of parallel channels. Timetodigital converters (TDCs) are effective for TOF measurement. With few exceptions, subnanosecond TDCs have been implemented as applicationspecific integrated circuits (ASICs), which are expensive and timeconsuming to develop. It is also not yet possible to implement analog signal measurement and processing close to a largeformat detector array. A TDC with improved timing resolution and channel count is being implemented in an inexpensive, reconfigurable FPGAbased form to minimize cost and address diverse applications. Signal TDC measurement and pulse processing functions include binary pulse processing (BPP), single and multiple timeoverthreshold (TOT/MTOT) measurement, coincidence detection, and auto/cross correlation. 1024 channels with 850 ps TOF resolution can be integrated into a ca. 4 & quot; 5 & quot; printed circuit board, and as many as 512 channels can be implemented with one or more of these functions: sub20ps resolution TDC, 100MHzscale perchannel count rates, and realtime histogramming and coincidence detection. All Phase I program objectives were met and many were exceeded. The 64channel prototype board achieved 25ps TOF resolution, and TOT, MTOT, and auto/cross correlation were demonstrated on a subset of the channels, using programmable amplification, pulse shaping, and threshold interface boards. The TDC/BPP board was calibrated and tested using InGaAs detector arrays, Geigermode InGaAs APDs, and silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) detectors, using a gigabit Ethernet connection, with favorable results relative to more expensive, commercially available 1channel instruments. The Phase I prototype will be ported to a nextgeneration FPGA with onethird the cost, onequarter the power, four times more channels per board, and TOF resolution two times finer. An instrument will be demonstrated with a 1024channel lowcountrate (subnanosecond) mode, and a highpulsecount mode with as many as 512 TDC channels, including TOT, MTOT, and auto/crosscorrelation. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: When completed, the technology will be made available to developers of instruments for HEP and nuclear physics. NonDOE applications include radiation detectors for nuclear instruments, biomedical imaging devices such as positron emission tomography (PET) imaging systems and Xray imaging devices, and military applications such as laser radar (LADAR).

Spears' big night leads NA over Ingomar
Ingomar gave the Lady Bulldogs all they could handle in a Tuesday night showdown that was drastically different from last week's game at Ingomar.
Defeating the Lady Falcons 55-35 during Thanksgiving break, New Albany saw a different team take the court; one that took several second half leads and only lost 55-54.
"When you go on the road and beat a county rival by double digits, then you play them again in the next game, it has an effect and makes the girls think they can just go out and do it again," New Albany coach John Stroud said. "Ingomar was very motivated to make-up for last week, and they played harder. With the exception of Jazmine (Spears), we just played through the motions and didn't play to our full potential."
Spears had 11 of New Albany's 16 first quarter points and helped the Lady Bulldogs to an early 9-2 lead. Heather Dillard hit a three for the Lady Falcons, making it a 16-11 game.
Mallory Adair stepped up in the second quarter for Ingomar, scoring eight points and tying the game at 23 after back-to-back three pointers. Spears scored the final seven points of the half, giving New Albany the 30-23 lead.
Adair put the Lady Falcons ahead on a three-point play in the third, but that was quickly answered by three-pointer by Lauren Dunalp. Ingomar led once more, 41-40, at the end of the third. New Albany outscored the Lady Falcons, 15-9, in the fourth quarter to pull away for the win.
Spears finished with a game-high 37 points and 13 rebounds. Kayla Parker had seven points for the Lady Bulldogs.
"We didn't see much from the rest of the team," Stroud said. "Outside of Jazmine, we shot 7-for-28 as a team, and that was the difference in the game. There were times where Jazmine had four girls on her and we couldn't make the 15-foot shots we needed."
"Going into division play, we've got to continue to improve on our shooting, and we're still trying to find the right four-person chemistry to compliment Jazmine."
Adair led the Lady Falcons with 16 points, followed by Kate Webb with 11 and 10 points from Reid Little.
New Albany 72 Ingomar 69 (boys)
In another close game between county rivals, Jarrell Lipsey had the final say, hitting the game-winning three-pointer for the Bulldogs.
Both teams battled back and forth with New Albany holding a 37-35 lead at the half. Tied at 69 with 30 seconds remaining, the Bulldogs held on to the ball and found an open Lipsey with the game-winning shot.
Lipsey finished with 22 points to lead New Albany, followed by 16 points from Harrison Harding and 10 from Eric Chaney.

The Boston Red Sox are currently in first place in the AL East, as they lead the New York Yankees by a game.
With the Yankees making a sudden surge of offensive power and solid pitching, Sox fans are thinking that their seemingly average team will have to contest for the American League Wild Card.
Not so fast.
Not only are the Red Sox in first place, but they are leading the division, despite one home run from David Ortiz, a starting pitching ERA over 5.00, and no everyday short stop.
In terms of Papi's struggles, the Red Sox offense has been doing fine without his presence, as they are in the top five in almost every offensive category, including batting average and home runs.
Whether or not Ortiz will hit 30-plus home runs is yet to be determined, but I know that he is a competitor and will continue to battle out his situation. He will hit at least 15 homers this season.
The starting pitching for Boston started off absolutely horribly, with the exception of Tim Wakefield. Wakefield has continued to make quality starts, while Brad Penny is becoming more comfortable in Boston.
Josh Beckett has shown his dominant self, as he has gone 2-0 with a 2.67 ERA over his last four starts.
Daisuke Matsuzaka is back from the DL and he figures to give Boston five to six innings of solid pitching on a consistent basis, similar to what he did last year. As he continues to develop, he may start going deeper into games.
Jon Lester has had trouble thus far in the season but he will climb out of the rut he's in and get into a groove, similar to what he did last year.
At shortstop, Julio Lugo figures to be the starter, but missed a significant portion of the season. He is putting up good offensive numbers so far, and his speed on the base paths is an added bonus. His defense has been bad, but he should get more consistent.
As you can see, the Sox are in first place despite three major problems. However, these problems are fixing themselves, and if the Red Sox can continue the season with consistent offense and a dominant bullpen (3.03 ERA, best in the majors), their starting pitching will right itself, as will struggling players.
Also, Mark Kotsay and John Smoltz will soon be thrown into the mix, adding depth and skill at their respective positions.
Not only is Smoltz on the pitching horizon, but so is Clay Buchholz, who threw a near perfect game at Triple-A Pawtucket two days ago.
When the team is fully straightened out, it will be dominant, and if the Yanks continue to have problems with Joba Chamberlain, Mariano Rivera, and Chien-Ming Wang, they don't have enough depth to fix their problems.
I had previously believed that New York would take the AL East, but with the teams playing the way they have, I now believe the Sox will hold them off.
The Red Sox are deeper than New York, with a better bullpen, starting pitching, and defense. Good pitching always beats good hitting, and the Sox have enough offense to stick with the best teams in the league.

Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, forced employees in Oregon to work unpaid overtime between 1994 and 1999, a federal jury found Thursday in the first of dozens of such lawsuits across the country to come to trial.
A separate trial will be held to decide how much Wal-Mart should pay in damages.
More than 400 employees from 24 of Wal-Mart's 27 Oregon stores had sued the retailer, accusing it of violating federal and state wage laws.
"I guess, basically, we are disappointed with the verdict. Wal-Mart has a strong policy of paying its associates for all the time they work," said spokesman Bill Wertz. "We would emphasize that this ruling affects only approximately 350 workers out of 15,000 in Oregon."
Wertz said the company is considering whether to appeal.
The lawsuit was filed by Carolyn Thiebes and Betty Alderson, who worked in managerial positions at Wal-Mart stores in the Salem area.
The lawsuit claimed managers got employees to work off the clock by asking them to clean up the store after they had clocked out and by deleting hours from time records.
It also said Wal-Mart reprimanded employees who claimed overtime. Workers felt forced to work after clocking out because managers assigned them more work than they could complete in a regular shift, the plaintiffs said.
Wal-Mart conceded during opening arguments Tuesday that some off-the-clock work occurred but said company policy expressly prohibited it.
"What's really got to worry the company is that this might create a precedent for similar lawsuits now pending around the country - lawsuits which involve millions and millions of dollars," says CBSNews.com Legal Analyst Andrew Cohen.
"The plaintiffs in this case not only were sympathetic but they also presented a very easy to understand case to jurors," says Cohen. "Everyone who is an employee knows what it is like to be asked to work overtime, or to do a little more than the job description entails, but in most cases employees get paid for that extra work. The fact that these employees did not made Wal-Mart an easy mark."
Wal-Mart, a $218 billion company, employs 1 million workers in 3,250 stores in the United States.
Thirty-nine other class-action lawsuits are pending against the company in 30 states. Those suits, from California to New York, involve hundreds of thousands of workers seeking tens of millions in back pay.
Previously, Wal-Mart settled two similar overtime cases in Colorado and New Mexico.
The company reportedly paid $50 million two years ago to settle an off-the-clock lawsuit covering 69,000 workers in Colorado, and it recently settled for $500,000 a case involving 120 workers in Gallup, N.M., said one of the plaintiffs' attorneys.

In this study, based on multirate technique, the detection problem of DS-CDMA systems is transformed to an equivalent signal of beamforming systems. In this situation, the channel plus spreading code in DS-CDMA systems is equivalent to a steering matrix in the signal processing of beamforming systems. Based on an optimum beamforming technique, an optimum detection design is proposed for DS-CDMA systems. Furthermore, stochastic processes model the time-varying tap coefficients of multipath fading channels. The channel parameter or steering matrix estimation algorithm is developed based on the Kalman state estimation method. Finally, an adaptive design for DS-CDMA systems is also discussed in this paper. Consistency of the proposed method is shown, and some illustrative simulations are presented

Skip to comments.Vanity: How did Obama get elected in the first place?
Posted on 12/11/2012 5:18:10 AM PST by ConservativeMan55
So how did we get here? How did Barack Obama, a relative unknown get elected to the Presidency of the United States? With much of the public not knowing who he is, where he was born. Almost nothing of his background was investigated.
Besides election fraud, I think you have to look way back from 2004 to 2006 to see how we headed down this road. Starting in 2004 George Bush was re-elected on the heels of an early Iraq effort.
But that effort soon became another Vietnam, at least in the media, as Americans were faced with daily and sometimes hourly reports of US Soldiers being killed by bombings and terrorist attacks in Iraq.
Bush's popularity began to wane. High approval numbers in the 60's and 70's soon bottomed out into the 40's and below. By 2006 Bush had been so demonized by the media that Democrats were able to gain control of the House and Senate.
Here is an article from that time for some perspective from the Washington Post.
Democrats win control of House and Senate.
"Democrats captured a majority in the House of Representatives in midterm elections Tuesday, as voters delivered a rebuke to the Bush administration and the governing Republicans amid an increasingly unpopular war in Iraq and a rash of scandals tainting GOP incumbents in several states."
With the Democrats now in control of both chambers they went to work right away. Barney Frank became Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.
Frank began pushing for banks to give home loans to almost anyone. Michael Bloomberg, as much as many of us don't like him, makes a good point in this article below.
"But they (Congress) were the ones who pushed Fannie and Freddie to make a bunch of loans that were imprudent, if you will. They were the ones that pushed the banks to loan to everybody. And now we want to go vilify the banks because it's one target, it's easy to blame them and congress certainly isn't going to blame themselves. At the same time, Congress is trying to pressure banks to loosen their lending standards to make more loans. This is exactly the same speech they criticized them for."
Frank said at the time it was the American dream for people to own homes and banks should make it super easy for everyone to get loans.
Problem is after a few years many people could not afford those loans and the bottom dropped out. Causing the home mortgage crisis.
Here is an article from CNN for some perspective on how things began to take a dip in less than a year from Frank's policies.
"The fall of housing prices from peak levels reached earlier this decade cut deeply into home building and home purchases. This also caused a sharp rise in mortgage foreclosures, which in turn resulted in losses of hundreds of billions of dollars among the nation's leading banks and a tightening of credit."
During this time the price of oil began to skyrocket as well.
"In 2008, the price of oil went ballistic, but the U.S. was already in a recession [it began in Dec. 2007]. There was no rational reason oil should have gone ballistic. The Feds easy money just fueled a bubble. It was like a $500 billion tax on consumers courtesy of the Fed. Thats the added amount that it cost you, and it helped push consumers over a cliff in late 2008."
During the election of 2008 this is why you heard Sarah Palin constantly saying "Drill baby drill". But the press was more focused on demonizing her than what she was actually saying.
So by 2007 the economy was in free fall due to the home mortgage crisis and skyrocketing gas prices. Both of which, if you remember, were blamed on Bush at the time.
Plus there was still the shadow of a failing Iraq war effort. All of the problems were blamed on Bush, whether they were his fault or not.
Democrats blamed Bush for everything.
He was so demonized that he barely even showed his face during the 2008 campaign. Bush refused to fight back againt Democrats and a press that slandered him.
Democrats beat into the American people's brains that Bush was responsible for the free falling economy and problems overseas. As if they hadn't been in power at all!
Obama, riding on a wave of anger against Republicans at the time won the presidency based on hope and change.
So recapping here, the villains are.
The American Media - for making it possible for Democrats to continually blame Republicans even when they're not in power! That continues today.
The Democrats and Barney Frank for helping cause the home mortgage crisis which sent the economy into a free fall.
And the Republicans such as George Bush, for allowing themselves to be defined and blamed for problems not of their own making.
And by the way that continues today. The Republicans only control the House, but a recent poll taken said most people would still blame Republicans if taxes go up.
Why you ask? The Media tells them who to blame.
Free stuff
The GOP has been outsourcing US jobs for years.
That has left the GOP very badly discredited.
GOP: bring back US jobs now.
Free stuff helped him get re-elected. But I don't think that played as big a part in the 2008 election. I'm not saying it was entirely discounted, as you did have many people wanting free stuff.
But that number grew from 2008 to present. The free stuff crowd was a much bigger factor in the 2012 race.
Democrats used that as well to define and discredit Republicans. Despite the fact that they, Democrats, do the same thing.
This piece sums it up nicely:
Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, And The Cost Of Fighting Chicago Thug Politics
And don't forget this...
The Republican Party never had a chance with its current spineless leadership.
Bring back US jobs now!
I think the Republican party shares in a lot of the blame. They allowed themselves to be defined by the Democrats. They were too afraid of losing their seats.
But what happened.. they lost them anyway!
media refused to vent
The media refused to vet Obama, while doing the opposite to
Bush, blaming him for many problems not even his fault.
Republican Fecklessness, incarnated in John McCain and his campaign of Feckless Republicans, more willing to destroy Sarah Palin than the true enemy of this country and Israel.
Blame Bush has transitioned smoothly into blame republicans. Whethet they are in power or not, blame republicans. When Obama demands tax increases, says obamacare is not on the table, and in return offers to talk about some budget cuts at some point in the undefined future if he feels like it, and people look at that situation and blame the republlicans(!), then you know we've lost the media war.
I agree. Republicans sat and twiddled their thumbs as Democrats painted them in any color they chose.
a large swath of dependents
labor unions
fear mongoring
illegal immigration
voter fraud
a dirt stupid electorate
a compliant and complicit media
low opposition voter turnout
and of course, as mentioned above... free stuff
In 2005 Bush was too busy taking credit for home loans to minorities with bad credit to propose reforms that would end his own programs.
GWB 2002 Speech : More and more people own their homes in America today. Yet we have a problem here in America because fewer than half the Hispanics and African Americans own their own homes. Thats a home ownership gap; a gap that we got to work together to close. And by the end of this decade well increase the number of minority homeowners (future Obama voters ) by 5.5 million families.
One of the major obstacles to minority home-ownership is financing. Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac (who I will bail out in 2008) have committed to provide more money for lenders, they committed to meet the shortage of capital available for minority home-buyers. Freddie Mac just began 25 initiatives around the country to dismantle barriers (like income requirements) and create better opportunities for home-ownership. One of the programs is designed to help families with bad credit histories to qualify for home ownership loans (by faking their income) . You dont have to have a lousy home for first time home-buyers. You put your mind to it the first time low income home buyer can have just as nice a house as anyone else (till those adjustable rates go up then they can lose it to the bank).
President Bush Mortgage Speech 2002(Helping those w bad credit buy houses)
I would love to have those manufacturing jobs back in the US, but I am not in favor of merchantilism. I just ordered a pair of US made wolverine wingtip boots for $330. My sister, a woman, thinks that is too much for shoes.
There are two problems:
1. People who do not have the skills to do the jobs.
2. Consumers are unwilling to pay premium for high cost products.
I think you summed it up nicely.
And Democrats continue their bad policies which is why we're headed toward a fiscal cliff!
But Republicans, if they don't stand up for themselves, like in 1994, will get blamed.
Everybody is blaming the party; I blame the voters.
1984 and its Prolefeed was the model for success.
10% of the voters wanted marxism. 60% of the voters wanted Santa Claus. 30% of the voters hate Republicans, and would vote for anyone else including Lenin.
Help from the America Pravda Media
1- Dem vote fraud (about 2 Million critical votes)
2- Stupid conservatives who's hate for Romney, blinded them to Obama's evil intent for America. (about 3 million idiots)
3- Terrible messaging by Romney. (about 5 million "undecideds")
We are under complete Soviet domination of media and entertainment as they planned long ago. The reason that we are not sent to the gulags for what we are posting here is because they realize that we are utterly powerless to change it.
We either bring jobs back to America, or we will fall.
It is that simple.
The GOP has played the international game and now is running out of room.
Either we bring back US jobs, or America is gone.
And let's not forget about that attempt on the lives of dozens of members and families at the Wasilla Bible Church, which was set afire as Obama's thugs were departing the Wasilla and Anchorage area after the 2008 election. Sure it was just a coincidence... Obama's thugs in town and the church fire... sure it was...
Anyone else notice how that attempted mass murder conveniently dropped out of "media" coverage?
Race card
They've also been outsourcing jobs here at home, by bringing in foreign nationals.
Texas is a great example of that practice. The Texas Democrats want to expand the number of Democrat voters and the Republicans want to exploit cheap illegal workers. Together they have created Hell for the this nation with millions of illegal aliens invading our nation.
Now before Texans get all uppity, it is also happening in California, Arizona, and New Mexico, but no nearly to the extent it has occurred in Texas.
How can the GOP bring back jobs to the U.S.?
Because he is not white, that is, he is negro
I'd never even heard of that! And I consider myself someone who reads the news every single day. lol.
I've been trying to figure that one out,too. Especially in the light of 9/11. I mean, for-cry-eye, there should have been such a level of distrust towards Muslims after that, that no one with a name remotely close to a muslim name should have been in any office! I mean, for pity sake, after WWII, politicians were shaving off their mustaches so people wouldn't think of Hitler!!!
Then why is Texas still solid GOP? Everyone has been predicting it going blue for years but it still goes GOP.
Do you think it is slowly trending that way? Arizona is the same way. Arizona is one of the most solid GOP states around.
I think what helps is that Conservatives currently control these states. Oklahoma for instance has passed immigration laws and voter ID laws. And we now have a Republican super majority.
Many red states that passed voter ID laws became even redder, especially at the state level.
Jobs will not "be brought back to America"
A return to American full employment will result from the creation of new products and new capabilities.
I agree. And Keith Ellison, a Muslim got elected. I think it's Americans short term memory loss.
They have been raised up on the Snooki's, David Lettermans and Jon Stewarts of the world.
Bush pushes minority homeownership (FR post | June 15, 2002 | By KATHY A. GAMBRELL)
Bush seeks to increase minority homeownership (FR post USA Today ^ | 1-20-04 | Thomas Fogarty )
President Bush Mortgage Speech 2002(Helping those w bad credit buy houses)
Speaker Hastert Touts Law Closing the Homeownership Gap for Minorities (FR Post Wednesday, October 01, 2003 )
Fact Sheet: Expanding Homeownership Opportunities for All Americans (December 16, 2003 American Dream Downpayment Act of 2003)
Compassional conservative was proved to be a huge failure under Bush as all those minorities voted Democrat by 2008 after they lost all those homes promoted above.
And I'm afraid that's going to get stopped when Obamacare begins to take hold...
The goal of Obamacare, to destroy the United States.
Revelation: He's not really black, it's not really free.
You asked :)
First off, we have to ask that question a (lot) more than we do right now. More often, and louder. Over and over.
I have some ideas, as do some other FReepers.
But specifics can be held off, for a more general discussion of American jobs.
Bush and Rove believed that by pandering to these minorities it helped them get elected. But in reality it helped Democrats.
Normalcy Bias is the core answer to the question.
Were it not for this phenomenon of the human mind, Obama would NOT be president;
Were it not for Normalcy Bias, our national news media would still be the watchdog of our democracy.
Were it not for Normalcy Bias, our educational system would not have fallen to foreign communist influence.
Were it not for normalcy bias, the housing bubble of 2008 would have never happened... our national debt would not have doubled in a 4 year time span.
Normalcy bias is central to the strategies of a communist nation in their efforts to infiltrate and dismantle free societies.
Freedom cannot exist in an immoral society.
Patience has it's rewards... even for communists.
And we still cannot accept the reality that our country is under attack from within. That would not be normal.
We have taken our freedom for granted, and we have dismissed God as our sovereign.
The loss of freedom is inevitable.
Exactly... who would've thought, on the heels of 9/11, a mere seven years later, a pro-muslim who was raised as a muslim and attended a madrassa in Jakarta, with the middle name of "Hussein," would've had a breath of a chance of being elected to the highest office in the land?
I was SO hoping that was a one-time national error.. one that would be decisively corrected on Nov. 6. And then he won again.
I've lost hope in the future of America.
Even now. The republicans are so afraid of even saying President Bush's name. During the campaign they could have easily pointed out how Bush was handed 9/11 and two wars and yet we have 5% unemployment throughout most of his presidency. Until the rats took over the house that is. They never even mentioned it.
There are SO many reasons we got here it's going to take a Herculean effort to get Republicans names out of the mud.
I'm afraid Democrats have so destroyed that brand in the media that it'll take a huge effort and fighting back in a big way to ever win another national election.
You hit the nail on the head.
They who control the media, control the elections.
Demographics and white guilt.
Stop outsourcing!
Bring back US jobs. Now.

Houston's Shooting-Response Video Draws Clicks, Critics
When Houston officials decided in May to produce a video advising citizens how to react in a mass shooting, they had no idea how timely—or controversial—it would prove to be.
The video public-service announcement, posted online just days after last month's Aurora, Colo., movie-theater killings, has gone viral on YouTube and sparked criticism for not suggesting people shoot back at an attacker.
Officials in the nation's fourth-largest city decided to produce the federally funded, $180,000 video after a training exercise last year for emergency workers on how to respond to an event like the three-day shooting attack in Mumbai that killed more than 160 people in 2008.
While first responders were well-prepared, officials decided that the general public could benefit from learning self-protection techniques, said Richard Retz, an official who works for the mayor's Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security. (Watch the video here.)
City officials had planned to release the video as part of a larger public-safety campaign, but after the events in Aurora, "we felt we should get it out as quickly as possible," Mr. Retz said. It is available on the city's website and on YouTube. Businesses and government agencies from Fairfax, Va., to Brisbane, Australia, have requested copies of the video, Mr. Retz said.
The six-minute video opens with a man wearing dark glasses and carrying a backpack walking toward an elevator in a high-rise office building.
In an instant, he opens fire on the security guard, then shoots office workers while statistics on mass shootings are superimposed on the screen.
The narrator tells viewers that in a similar situation, they have three options: "run, hide, fight," advice that deliberately evokes the "stop, drop and roll" fire-safety drill taught to children. But the video also includes more detailed advice, including admonishing viewers to fight back as a last resort by using makeshift weapons such as a fire extinguisher.
On YouTube, almost 400,000 people had seen the video as of Sunday.
A spokesman for the Aurora police department who hadn't seen the video voiced skepticism about how useful a one-size-fits-all survival plan would be. "Every situation is different, so at what point do you run or hide or fight?" said the spokesman, Frank Fania. "Of course, any plan is better than no plan at all."
Others criticized the video for neglecting to discuss the use of firearms as a method of self-defense.
Danny Davis, a director of the homeland-security graduate program at Texas A&M University in College Station, said he thinks Houston officials were remiss for sidestepping the issue. "Had one person, male or female, had a weapon in that theater, maybe so many people would not have died," he said.
But Houston officials said they decided not to include a segment advising people who might be armed to use their guns because the video is meant to address the widest possible audience; they said fewer than 3% of Texans have a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
Some law-enforcement agencies agree with Houston's decision.
"To recommend firearms when the majority of the public don't carry concealed weapons is a political issue the video was not designed to address," said Lt. Andy Neiman, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department.

BISD approves staff, salaries and hiring of teachers
The Bushland Independent School District Board of Trustees approved a tax assessor / collector, salaries of two administrative staff members, and the hiring of seven teachers at its meeting Tuesday night.
The board approved Carol Autry, Randall County tax assessor / collector, to work for the district as well as her fee of $3,940 for the 1998-99 school year. Trustees approved 1998-99 salaries of BISD Superintendent John Lemons ($66,150) and BISD business manager Debi Meng ($43,700). Lemons' salary increased from $63,000 last year, and Meng's increased from $42,000.
Trustees did not release the list of new teachers. Lemons said those individuals needed time to contact their current employers, and he said he would release the list soon. Trustees also endorsed Morris Blankenship of Adrian to represent Region 16 as a trustee in the Texas Association of School Boards; approved an update of local policies; and approved a tuition agreement with River Road ISD.

Millennials Borrow Less, but Pay Late
They Have Less Debt Than Most Folks, but Are Just as Slow to Repay
Young people are becoming warier of borrowing—but getting worse at paying bills.
Despite aggressive courting by credit-card companies, young adults ages 19 to 29—the so-called Millennial generation—have around 1.5 credit cards on average, fewer than the two cards of Generation-X borrowers (ages 30 to 46) and the 2.7 cards of baby boomers (ages 47 to 65), according to an analysis of data provided by Experian, a credit-reporting firm.
Millennial credit-card balances average $2,700, below the $4,500 national average, while separate government data show total debt among young adults is around the lowest in 15 years.
Yet Millennials are late on debt payments roughly as much as Gen-X borrowers, Experian's data show. Millennials also use a high share of their borrowing capacity on cards, meaning they're as likely to max out on cards.
Since Millennials tend to have fewer assets and shorter credit histories than older folks, they have the worst average credit score—628—of any age cohort.

Seniors Living With Kids
More seniors are living with their kids, but don't blame the slow U.S. economy. Blame demographics.
Since the mid-1990s, the share of people 65 years old and over living with their children or other relatives has risen from around 6.6% to 7.3% in 2013, according to an analysis of data from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey by Jed Kolko, chief economist at Trulia, a real-estate listings site.
According to the American Community Survey—a bigger Census study with a sample size large enough to analyze specific age cohorts—9% of seniors lived in a household headed by relatives besides their spouses in 2012, while 2% lived with non-relatives and 3% lived in places like nursing homes. Some 85% lived in their own homes.
Driving the trend: The share of seniors born abroad is rising—from 8% in 1994 to 13% in 2013. Foreign-born seniors are four times more likely to live with their children. Around 25% of foreign-born seniors in the U.S. live with relatives, compared with 6% for U.S.-born seniors.

Easing Into a Grim Topic
When gathered around the Thanksgiving table this Thursday, you might want to pose a question to Mom and Pop: Are you ready to die?
Death planning is a grim topic, but Michael Hebb, a teaching fellow at the University of Washington, is making that conversation easier. He has developed a project called "Death Over Dinner," which helps relatives, friends and even strangers to gather, break bread and talk about matters such as terminal illnesses, loss of a loved one or how they'd like their own death handled.
When the project was launched Aug. 24, 300 to 400 dinners were held in 15 countries, Mr. Hebb says. Thousands of people have held their own dinners since then to discuss these topics.
At the project's website (deathoverdinner.org) people who want to consider holding their own dinner answer a few preliminary questions. They're then sent suggested invitation text for their guests and a little homework—a related short video, brief reading material and a blog discussion— to help guests prepare for the talk, as well as suggested prompts to keep the discussion moving.

Photo Details
A member of the cast of Gilbert & Sullivan's "H.M.S. Pinafore". This photo was taken around 1879. The opera opened at the Opera Comique in London, England, on 25 May 1878 and ran for 571 performances, which was the second-longest run of any musical theatre piece up to that time. This photo was probably taken during that run.

Dodge Walks Away From NASCAR With a Championship
Brad Keselowski nabbed the Sprint Cup title for the automaker.
This is the first Cup championship for Dodge since 1975, when Richard Petty brought them home a title, although Keselowski may take a bit more meaning from his victory considering that Dodge announced their withdrawal from NASCAR after the end of the current season. They can now rest assured that they'll go out with a bang. The decision stemmed primarily from Penske's announcement that it was moving to Ford in 2013 just days after the opening of the season with the Daytona 500.
Dodge has not ruled out a return to NASCAR, perhaps in the second-tier Nationwide Series, but as of now, they are out of the races. Dodge's official statement is that they had a very unique situation with regard to Penske and that it would take something just as special for them to rejoin NASCAR.
While the vehicles available at Knight Dodge are not quite race ready, they can give the bulk of what is on the road a run for their money, especially the 2013 Dodge Dart. Other popular models like the Challenger and Charger are both available, and Knight Dodge also carries a diverse range of pre-owned models from many different automakers. With on-site financing and a state-of-the-
For more information on Dodge and their NASCAR performance, contact Knight Dodge. With the entire new Dodge lineup in stock, their vehicle experts are up to date on all of the latest happenings with the automaker, and their sales team can be reached online, by phone at 1-888-460-8933, or in person at 208 Cheadle St W in Swift Current.

Cricket Wireless has one word to describe the inaugural year of its Muve Music rate plan for wireless customers: success.
In the calendar year since the plan launched in Las Vegas on the Samsung Suede feature phone, Cricket has expanded the unique unlimited phone plan to three Android handsets.
What's more, the carrier signed on more than 500,000 Muve Music unique customers, or about 10 percent of its almost 6-million-person customer base (including broadband customers), and attributes much of its growth to luring in new subscribers interested in the unlimited voice, texting, Web, and music download service.
Cricket also implemented a national rollout plan in October, and now sells its Muve Music-eligible phones through Best Buy, Amazon, Wal-Mart, and the Home Shopping Network.
Overall, it counted 500 million songs downloaded by Muve Music users in total from its catalog of a "few million tracks," each customer listening to about 40 hours of music per month. By Cricket's own calculations, it also considers itself the second-largest digital music subscription service, behind Rhapsody.
Muve what?
So if the Muve Music plan is such a grand slam, why isn't it commanding more headlines? There are a few reasons. First, Cricket has situated itself in the prepaid market, which rarely grabs the spotlight. (However, Cricket has splashed out more to market Muve, which has evidently paid off.)
Second, while the music service is still unchallenged in the U.S., the phones themselves are typically more-modest entry-level and midrange devices that don't generate much excitement among most gadget geeks. While the company pushed out the
A third reason Cricket usually flies below the radar is geographical. While Cricket's partnership with national retailers is growing, its native foot print--the one with all the brick-and-mortar stores--is still limited, with retail shops in parts of 35 states.
Still, if Cricket's growth spurt continues into 2012, I wouldn't be surprised to hear if other carriers begin nosing around for a behind-the-scenes partnership or investigate a similar all-in-one model. The same goes for Cricket's Muve Music plan extending beyond Android smartphones into other operating systems, like Windows Phone or BlackBerry OS.
The wireless provider's senior vice president of Muve Music, Jeff Toig, admitted that picking up another smartphone OS is "something that we've discussed, but right now we're putting all of our developer efforts on Android."
So while some may scoff at the 500,000 new recruits to the pricier of Cricket's monthly rate plans--after all, Verizon added more than 800,000 subscribers last quarter alone--Cricket is walking proud.
"Being able to penetrate 10 percent of a customer's base...is a very big deal," Cricket's Toig told CNET. "In wireless, you don't see many of those success stories."

Denway Motors Shares Are Halted Pending Statement
Denway Motors Ltd., the carmaker being taken over by Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., halted trading of its shares in Hong Kong ahead of an announcement on the deal.
The suspension followed a two-day, 12 percent share-price jump for Denway, which said May 19 Guangzhou Auto had offered stock valued at HK$26 billion ($3.3 billion) in exchange for full control of the Hong Kong-based company. Denway requested today's suspension, it said in a statement.
An acquisition would strengthen Guangzhou Auto's partnerships with Japan's Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co., helping it compete with rival Chinese automakers SAIC Motor Corp. and Dongfeng Motor Group Co. The Guangzhou, Guangdong province-based carmaker, which has been seeking a public listing since 2008, plans to list its own shares by the end of July.
Guangzhou Auto "is a leading automaker in China and its growth outlook is strong," Olive Xia, an analyst at Core Pacific-Yamaichi International HK, said in a phone interview. "Other major automakers have already listed." The company may seek the listing to broaden its capital base and help it expand, she said.
Louisa Hung, a spokeswoman at Denway, declined to comment on the pending announcement. Winnie Lo, a spokeswoman for Guangzhou Auto at FD International, also declined to give further details.
Plan on Track
Guangzhou Auto's plan to list its own shares is still on track, Lu Sa, secretary to the automaker's board, said by phone today. The company remains in talks with Denway shareholders, she said, declining to comment further.
Denway shares rose 5.7 percent on June 4 to close at HK$3.54. That was the highest level since May 19, when Guangzhou Auto's offer was announced and a previous suspension of the shares was lifted.
Denway fell a record 24 percent on May 19 as the offer valued Guangzhou Auto stock at a higher multiple of earnings than rival carmakers.
Denway holds 50 percent of Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., a joint venture with Tokyo-based Honda that is adding production of the Accord Crosstour wagon this year. In 2011, the venture has announced plans to introduce the Everus sedan, the first car made under its new Li Nian brand.
Toyota, Honda
Guangzhou Auto makes the Accord sedan, Fit compact and Odyssey minivan with Honda. The company also produces Camry sedans and Highlander sport-utility vehicles with Toyota in the city of Guangzhou.
Guangzhou Auto's acquisition of Denway would create a company with a combined value of as much as $10.6 billion, based on estimates by Anglo Chinese Corporate Finance Ltd., an adviser on the deal.
Guangzhou Auto may record a profit of 3.76 billion yuan ($550 million) this year, without taking into account the privatization of Denway, the company said on May 19. Guangzhou Auto had 2 billion yuan in profit last year. By the end of 2010, the automaker aims to boost annual production capacity to more than 1 million vehicles, from 606,600 units in 2009.

New Cookbook: 'Isa Does It'Posted: November 5, 2013 Filed under: Book Review, cooking, Food, Uncategorized, Vegan | Tags: chili, chowder, cookbooks, cooking, enchiladas, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Isa Does It, vegan, Veganomicon 6 Comments
You guys. It's been a while since I've posted on here. Without boring you with too many details, work has been kicking my butt (in a good way) and my yoga teaching has been going well, too. Oh, and we got a new cat. By accident. We found this little guy hiding under the hood of our car while it was pouring rain, hence his name, "Honda." Having a kitten has been quite an adjustment, especially with two older cats. Three cats are my limit. No, really.
But as far as food, we've been cooking up lots of great vegan meals lately. Isa Chandra Moskowitz of "Veganomicon" fame, and several other awesome cookbooks, has just come out with a new cookbook, "Isa Does It," as well as a series of videos that showcase a few of the recipes from the book. So far, we've made the Nirvana Enchilada Casserole, Meat Beany Chili and Corn Muffins, and the New England Glam Chowder. All have been amazing and super, super easy to make, which seems to be the theme of the new cookbook.
As much as I love "Veganomicon," some of the recipes require lots of ingredients and lots of time. In "Isa Does It," Isa focuses on simple recipes that pack a lot of flavor, which is exactly what we've been looking for lately. Since starting my job over the summer, I'll admit to ordering takeout way more than we should. For that reason, it's been nice to get back into the kitchen to make some new dishes. This week, in fact, we plan on making a curry peanut kale bowl and a thai chili recipe from the book. I'll keep you posted on how they turn out.
I hope you all are well!!
Recipe Revisited: Broccoli QuichePosted: August 31, 2013 Filed under: cooking, Food, Recipes, Uncategorized, Vegan | Tags: broccoli, brunch, cooking, food, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, lunch, quiche, vegan, Vegan Brunch 4 Comments
I have a hard time coming up with lunch ideas, because 1) I don't want to spend most of our weekly food budget on lunch, 2) but I still want it to be healthy, and 3) I want the prep to be quick and easy. Sometimes I come across a lunch idea that fits all three criteria and this quiche is one of them.
The last time I made this recipe, I blogged about it on here. And then I somehow forgot about it, which is a bad habit of mine. Anyway, the first time I made it, I made the crust from scratch, which is kind of a pain when you have a kitchen with hardly no counter space. So, this time around, I picked up a pre-made pie crust, which was a bit more expensive, but worth it, in my opinion.
All you have to do is cook the onion, garlic, spices and broccoli, blend your tofu and cashews, mix it all together, and bake. Let it chill overnight. And it tastes great served cold, so you don't have to worry about using your workplace's nasty microwave.
The recipe comes from "Vegan Brunch," and you can find it here.
Breakfast for Dinner: Tofu Scramble, Hashbrown Waffles, Sliced Tomato and Gravy (of course)Posted: August 29, 2013 Filed under: cooking, Food, Recipes, Uncategorized, Vegan | Tags: breakfast, brunch, comfort food, cooking, food, hashbrowns, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, tofu scramble, vegan, waffle 2 Comments
I had to pull an all-nighter for work this past weekend, so I was pretty worthless on Sunday — as in, wake up-shower-put-your-pajamas-back-on kind of worthless. I missed breakfast because I was too busy sleeping, so when dinner came around, I decided to make up for it. And, boy, did I ever.
While perusing Pinterest, I found a "recipe" for waffle hashbrowns. Basically, you place a layer of frozen tater tots onto a greased waffle iron and press down until you form a fully cooked "waffle." It's brilliant, really. I immediately got it in my head to layer the waffle with sliced homegrown tomato, tofu scramble, and, of course, gravy (and hot sauce). The result is pure comfort food. After the first bite, my husband and I nodded at each other, mouths full, in full agreement that this is definitely a keeper.
For the tofu scramble, I always use Isa's recipe from "Vegan Brunch," which you can find here.
My Favorite Winter Soup: French Lentil with Tarragon and Thyme (and a Side of Cornbread)Posted: January 18, 2013 Filed under: cooking, Food, Recipes, Uncategorized, Vegan | Tags: cooking, cornbread, food, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, lentil soup, lunch, soup, tarragon, Terry Hope Romero, thyme, vegan, Veganomicon Leave a comment
Of all the recipes I've made from "Veganomicon" (and there are still a ton that I haven't made), I've probably made this French Lentil Soup with Tarragon and Thyme the most. (You can find the recipe here.) The soup comes together really quickly; just chop the onion and carrots and throw it all into a pot to simmer. I like to serve mine with crumbled cornbread on top, making it a hearty and filling meal for a cold winter day.
Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle TartPosted: November 18, 2012 Filed under: Recipes, Uncategorized, Vegan | Tags: chocolate hazelnut truffle tart, cooking, dessert, food, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, shortbread, Terry Hope Romero, vegan, vegan pie in the sky 1 Comment
Our downstairs neighbors and friends have a Thanksgiving potluck every year, which is always a lot of fun. This year, I decided to bring my family's Sweet Potato Balls in vegan form, which are practically a dessert. I also decided to bring this Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle Tart from "Vegan Pie In The Sky." The tart is incredibly easy to make; you just need to allow a few hours to make the crust and then let the whole thing set up in the fridge. The authors, Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero, warn in the recipe's introduction that the tart is extremely rich, and, man, they weren't joking. Granted I was really full from dinner, but I could not finish my slice even though it was really, really delicious.
Also, on a side note, because of family obligations, we've decided to have our vegan Thanksgiving feast on Friday, but I will post pictures from the meal soon after. I hope you all are well!
Pumpkin Baked Ziti with Caramelized Onions and Sage Crumb ToppingPosted: October 22, 2012 Filed under: cooking, Food, Uncategorized, Vegan | Tags: casserole, cooking, food, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, pasta, pumpkin, pumpkin baked ziti, Terry Hope Romero, vegan, vegan mofo 2012, Veganomicon Leave a comment
This is one of my favorite recipes from "Veganomicon" — the picture doesn't really do it justice. Penne pasta is tossed with a cashew ricotta that is mixed with pumpkin, spices and caramelized onions. Walnuts are toasted with breadcrumbs and sage before being added to the top of the penne mixture. The entire thing is baked in the oven until it's bubbly and delicious. It's such a comforting dish.
I was able to find the recipe online here, but the cookbook itself is definitely worth the money.
I hope you all are well!
