Praise Report: A Cessation of Hostilities in South Sudan
The government and opposition in South Sudan signed a cessation of hostilities agreement in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on 23 January 2014.
Although this is good news, much work needs to be done on building peace and addressing the root causes of the conflict.
Close to 10,000 people may have died. Another 740,000 people have been displaced inside South Sudan. Many fled to neighboring countries.
Praise God for the cessation of the violence. Pray it will be permanent. Pray that all parties involved will ensure that the agreement is fully implemented, and that political dialogue begins immediately, with committed support from the international community (The Bible, 2 Corinthians 5:18 ).
Pray for urgent humanitarian access and assistance to reach those affected by the conflict (The Bible, Isaiah 49:10).

Based on these studies, Harvel Plastic, Inc. recommends that PVC and CPVC piping products (i.e. pipe, duct, & shapes) exposed to the direct effects of UV radiation be painted with a light colored acrylic or latex paint that is chemically compatible with the PVC/CPVC products. Compatibility information should be confirmed with the paint manufacturer. The use of oil based paints is not recommended.
When painting the effects of exposure to sunlight are significantly reduced, however, consideration should be given to the effects of expansion/contraction of the system caused by heat absorption in outdoor applications. The use of light colored, reflective paint coating will reduce this affect, however, the system must also be designed and installed in such a manner to reduce the effects of movement due to thermal expansion.
It should be noted that Harvel's standard formulation of PVC compound (H707) used in the manufacture of our rigid pipe contains 1-1/2% titanium dioxide (Ti02), a natural UV inhibitor. Harvel's Corzan compounds used in the manufacture of rigid CPVC pipe contains at least 2% Titanium Dioxide (Ti02). Harvel's Clear PVC piping products do not contain UV inhibitors and should not be exposed to UV radiation.

14 weeks pregnant
When dad's not excited... yet
A reader asks:"We just found out we're expecting our first, and I'm overjoyed! The only problem is that my husband isn't very excited. What's his problem?"
Our fatherhood expert Armin Brott answers: "The short answer to your questions is, 'Nothing -- he's a guy!'
"As flip as it sounds, it's actually very true. The two of you are going to be on a very similar psychological journey while you're pregnant. You'll both experience a huge variety of feelings, emotions, worries and joys, all of which follow a basic progression from beginning to end. But you won't be going through the same things at the same time. Your husband -- like most men -- is generally one trimester behind. Keep in mind that you have plenty of physical reminders (some more pleasant that others) that you're pregnant. He has none of that.
"For most men, pregnancy for the first trimester is a pretty abstract concept. He may have had a few brief moments of being thrilled when you first found out (after all, it's confirmation that he's a fully functional male), but the whole idea is so hard to grasp that many guys actually forget about it for a few days at a time."

If you've installed an automated icemaker to satisfy your craving to eat ice, or if you're dining on actual mud pies -- your body may be trying to tell you it needs iron. Neither ice nor dirt will add iron to your diet, but there may be a link between nonfood cravings and iron deficiency.
An appetite for nonfood items -- such as ice, dirt, clay paste, starch, hair and refrigerator frost -- is called pica. The connection between pica and iron deficiency is unclear, but consuming clay actually worsens the deficiency because clay inhibits iron absorption.
Ideas & Inspiration
Everyone's heard the name, but what is Lamaze?
Lamaze refers to a method of childbirth preparation based on the Lamaze philosophy of birth. The philosophy includes the following tenets: Birth is normal; The experience of birth profoundly affects women and their families; Women's inner wisdom guides them through birth; Women's confidence and ability to give birth is either enhanced or diminished by the care provider and place of birth; Women have a right to give birth free from routine medical interventions; Birth can safely take place in birth centers and homes; Childbirth education empowers women to make informed choices in health care, to assume responsibility for their health and to trust their inner wisdom.

The Write Stuff: Capturing Natural History in Open Spaces
By Peter A. Bowler
Allan Schoenherr, author of "A Natural History of California", has done it again! In an elegant, magnificently illustrated treatment of Orange County open spaces, Schoenherr has brought forward basic ecological principles, applied them to local communities and habitats, and produced a superb guide to the "natural history of open spaces of Orange County." This reader friendly text by a longtime Laguna Beach ecologist is a classic that is a "must" for anyone interested in the outdoors and the ecology of the region.
The book is attractively bound and contains 346 illustrations, primarily consisting of very high quality photographs but also including a few maps and drawings, and four tables. The book is exceptionally well organized into seven topically integrated chapters. The stage is set in Chapter 1 ("Orange County's Public Lands") with a lovely photographic sequence and narration describing the mosaic of federal, state, county and privately managed parks, reserves, and conservancies. Several accurate and easily readable maps site these lands surrounded by the urban template. The graceful introduction is followed by straightforward descriptions of "Ecological Principles" in Chapter 2, incorporating good sketches of important climate and weather factors, the seasons, fire history and ecosystems. Chapter 3 is an excellent description of the County's geology, followed by Schoenherr's usual high quality but absolutely understandable discussion of "Plant Communities" (coastal sage scrub, chaparral, valley or coastal grassland, southern oak woodland, and riparian woodland) and the invasive plant problems these communities experience. Invertebrates and vertebrates are elegantly presented in the next two amply illustrated chapters (162 figures, including a nice image of both the Pacific pond turtle and non-native red-eared pond slider turtle in a diagnostic pose making their comparative identifications unmistakable). The final chapter ("The
Intertidal Region") completes the ecological transect by treating County sandy beach, rocky headland, and estuarine settings. Clear illustrations show the diversity of bird beak lengths and shapes, foot design and color – greatly enhancing the reader's ability to rapidly make bird identifications in estuarine and beach habitats. The zonation within salt marshes and rocky shore communities is easily understood from attractive diagrams and good pictures.
The reference section includes 42 citations, forming a very good base from which to select additional readings or books relevant to county open space areas. The four-page index and two-page list of illustrations are complete and make it easy to locate species accounts, habitats, or images of them. Clear and well-chosen photographs are an unforgettable hallmark of this book. From a lovely picture of the UC Natural Reserve System's San Joaquin Freshwater Marsh Reserve to facing full-page illustrations of sites with coastal sage draped on the county's attractive foothills, the book is gem. No one knows Orange County open spaces better than Allan Schoenherr, and he has again communicated his knowledge in a fabulous way!
I most strongly recommend this book for use by anyone interested in the county's out-of-doors from naturalists to hikers and cyclists. The book is very suitable for classroom use directed toward high school and college clienteles. Although I have a copy, I'm buying several more to give to friends. "Wild and Beautiful" is a jewel, and is available at a modest price. The non-profit publisher, Laguna Wilderness Press, describes the book as follows: "Explore the paths and trails of Southern California's wildlife in reading Wild and Beautiful: A Natural History of the Open Spaces in Orange County, by Dr. Allan A. Schoenherr. Provided in this book is an abundance of illuminating information about what can be glimpsed from the creatures, plants, habitats, and landscapes that constitute the open spaces in Orange County. This book highlights an impressive array of information and photographs that creates a resource valuable to both the reader in the comfort of their home and the hiker ascending up the trail. You will be hard-pressed to find another book that is such a wonderful blend of incredible photography and informative material."

Plans have been made to reduce the speed limit on the second Minsk ring road to 70kmph by winter, BelTA learned from representatives of the road construction and maintenance enterprise Minskavtodor-Tsentr.
According to the source, construction work is still in progress and the road is being examined. Cool weather is a factor as well as technological peculiarities of concrete-surface roads. It is possible that the speed limit will be reduced from 90kmph to 70kmph, BelTA has been told.
The measure is supposed to take care of the safety of motorists. For one year after it is opened, the road cannot be treated with mixtures that contain salt. Since air temperature drops below zero at night, it is dangerous to drive along the road at high speeds. Sand and other mixtures will be used instead of salts to improve traction on the road.
Part of the second ring road around Minsk was opened to traffic on 6 October. The section is 27.3km long. Once completed, the new ring road around Minsk will be about 159km long. The construction process is split into two stages. The first one is scheduled for completion by 1 January 2016. A road connecting the M3 motorway Minsk-Vitebsk and the M6/E28 motorway Minsk – Grodno – the Polish border (Bruzgi) will be built by that time. The second stage of the project will last till 7 November 2017. In the second stage a road will be built to connect the M6/E28 motorway Minsk – Grodno – Polish border (Bruzgi) and the M1/E30 motorway Brest (Kozlovichi) – Minsk — the Russian border (Redki).
In the future the speed limit of the second Minsk ring road will be set at 120kpmh.

CEO of StatPro, Craig Arenhold, speaks to CapeTalk's Kieno Kammies about how his company has embraced the concept of decentralisation.
StatPro is a financial services IT company which services local and international asset managers.
Arenhold says the company has made a decision not to spend money on things they can do without, like bigger office space.
I think it helps to be progressive with you staff, you cannot be traditional like it was 10 - 20 years ago.— Craig Arenhold, CEO of StatPro
The important thing is to hire people who can ascribe to your values. You can't hire a guy who doesn't understand responsibilities on an individual to deliver work.— Craig Arenhold, CEO of StatPro
StatPro employees work from home and only report in the office on some Mondays and Fridays.
He says the fact that someone is seated at their desk the whole day doesn't mean that they are actually getting the job done.
Arenhold says he has found that his staff are generally happier and stay with the company longer because of flexible hours.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The governor of the embattled western state of Michoacan has left his post for health reasons, the Mexican government announced Wednesday.
Mexico's presidency said in a statement that Michoacan Gov. Fausto Vallejo met with President Enrique Pena Nieto to inform him of his decision. Vallejo is a member of Pena Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party.
Neither the presidency nor Vallejo have said what ails him.
Vallejo, 65, took a leave of absence last year to have a kidney transplant and then Michoacan state interior secretary Jose Jesus Reyna took control of the government. Reyna was charged last month with organized crime and federal prosecutors say there is evidence he met several times with leaders of the Knights Templar drug cartel.
Vallejo confirmed Wednesday in his Twitter account he is stepping down, saying he is doing it so "I can take care of my health."
Vallejo's resignation comes a few days after local media published a purported photograph of his son in a meeting with Knights Templar cartel leader Servando Gomez, known as "La Tuta."
Michoacan, a fertile agricultural state that also produces drugs and is on a key trafficking route, is the Knights Templar's home base. The gang has been chased out of many Michoacan towns by vigilante groups that have demanded authorities go after the group's leaders.
In January, the federal government seized control of the state, appointed a commissioner and made a pact with the self-defense groups to register their arms. Those who wanted to were allowed to join a new rural police force.

It was another wonderful, old-fashioned American family Christmas. I woke early but stayed in bed awhile relishing the memory of many Christmases shared with my husband and four children. I slipped out of bed quietly and pulled on the warm, fleecy robe, made in Taiwan, given to me the evening before by my eldest daughter - ''so you can be warm and look nice while you fix our Christmas breakfast.'' I started the imported Danish bacon cooking slowly, knowing the aroma would arouse my ever-hungry college-age son, always the last to stir on Christmas morning.
My 11-year-old, as usual, had been the last to fall asleep Christmas Eve and the first to wake up Christmas Day. She prodded, poked, and cajoled until all of us, still in night clothes and in varying degrees of wakefulness, were lounging about the Christmas tree ready to begin the exciting ritual of opening presents.
For my husband there was a sweater made in Formosa and a watch made in Switzerland. For my son there was a set of metric tools to help him keep his ancient Volkswagen running until he is out of school. For one teen-age daughter there was a woman's diving watch and a small camera, both from Japan. For the second teen-age daughter, there was a long skirt made in India, and hiking boots made in Italy. A 10-speed bike, also made in Italy, delighted the 11-year-old. It held her interest and kept her from complaining that her father and her brother were monopolizing ''her'' new electric race car set, imported from Japan.
After unplugging the Christmas tree lights, made in South Korea, we climbed into our Japanese economy car and drove to dinner at a friend's home. I entertained a weak suspicion that the gas that got us there was refined from Arab oil. We ended our traditional American family Christmas by watching television together on our good, old, dependable RCA color television.
During a commercial my husband commented sleepily, ''Did you know that some parts in an RCA TV are made in Japan?''

Editorial Reviews
How did Americans become the most voracious consumers in the world? This exposé unmasks the transformation of a frugal nation into one made up of the world's most notorious spendthrifts. Shell offers a historical perspective that spans the various steps of this transition at all levels of the economy - from department stores to supermarkets. Lorna Raver is an apt narrator for this title because her voice has the mature quality of one who may have seen some of the events she recounts. Her dry tone conveys the sardonic subtext that runs throughout the narrative as it switches between objective and subjective accounts in equal parts. She explains with gusto the growth of the discount market in the U.S.
Publisher's Summary
Ellen Ruppel Shell traces the birth of the bargain as we know it from the Industrial Revolution to the assembly line and beyond, homing in on a number of colorful characters, such as Gene Verkauf (his name is Yiddish for "to sell"), founder of E. J. Korvette, the discount chain that helped wean customers off traditional notions of value. The rise of the chain store in post-Depression America led to the extolling of convenience over quality, and big-box retailers completed the reeducation of the American consumer by making them prize low price in the way they once prized durability and craftsmanship. The effects of this insidious perceptual shift are vast: a blighted landscape, escalating debt (both personal and national), stagnating incomes, fraying communities, and a host of other socioeconomic ills. That's a long list of charges, and it runs counter to orthodox economics, which argues that low price powers productivity by stimulating a brisk free market. But Shell marshals evidence from a wide range of fields---history, sociology, marketing, psychology, even economics itself---to upend the conventional wisdom.
Cheap also unveils the fascinating and unsettling illogic that underpins our bargain-hunting reflex and explains how our deep-rooted need for bargains colors every aspect of our psyches and social lives.

You Get What You Pay For?
Ellen Shell in "Cheap" sets out to make sense of the discount culture that characterizes our economy. She accomplishes this with hardly a mention of WalMart! She relates how the discount economy has allowed us to eat shrimp in abundance (Red Lobster) and to purchase poorly built furniture from IKEA. She argues that we are trading low price for quality and that those low prices are not without "costs" to the environment and poor workers elsewhere. Her history of discount shopping is most informative and brings back names such as Woolworths and others long gone.
Some of the material will be familiar to those who follow economics and business. However, there are surprises at every turn and disturbing issues that she raises. She hits the reader early and often with the understanding that we are quickly replacing quality goods with shoddy merchandise and our lives are less for the trade.
I would suggest that this book be preceded or followed by Chris Anderson's "Free" which deals with technology driving the costs of some services to zero. Both Free and Cheap are well written and read. They are both disturbing and informative.

A Perfect Companion to Free
Cheap is the perfect companion to Free. Or maybe the antidote to Free. Where Anderson sees a bright future for free, Ruppel Shell reminds us of the high cost of cheap. These costs range from the loss of decent paying jobs for producers to the environmental damage that allows cheap furniture, food, and manufacturing goods to come to market. We probably didn't need one more book on the dangers of the cheap industrial food complex, but Ruppel Shell puts trends in food in the larger context of the migration away from quality across the consumer basket. The chapter on Ikea alone is worth the price of admission.
My only quibble is that perhaps the author over-sold her case.
We have realized some benefits from the cost of some things dropping, from computers to bandwidth (see Anderson), her case would have been strengthened by an exploration of cheap done right. Still, this Free and Cheap should be read together, the first book getting us drunk on the limitless future and the second book sobering us up on the high costs that we are all paying.

Interesting, but Poorly Written
The subject of craftsmanship, and the loss of value in modern society is something of a candy stick for me, and so I did finish this book, and I did find it very interesting. If you liked Matthew Crawford's "Shop Class as Soulcraft" and any of Richard Sennett's work, you will like this book despite it's glaring flaws of factual accuracy.
Unfortunately however, from the beginning the author displays a subtly disingenuous nature by letting the reader know that, she too has to deal with a wobbly budget, and thus she buys her underwear at Target. Of course I have no idea as to Ms. Shell's actual net worth but a professor of journalism, and a regular contributor to the Atlantic Monthly with five book titles to her credit is not juggling the same budget constraints as the average American. That is intellectually dishonest, and in very poor taste to be that condescending.
At first I was making notes of all of the factual inaccuracies, but I gave up after the first few chapters as it was becoming tedious. Her factual inconsistencies go well beyond just being overly opinionated, but she just gets things very wrong. On the Great Depression, on deflation, she got Gresham's Law so completely wrong I have to give her the benefit of the doubt that she was being honest, but just doesn't know. Really, the thing is so full of errors I am almost embarrassed for the woman. However, since she thinks buying fake Rolex watches from street vendors somehow makes her one of the common folk, I don't think it's likely that she's in touch enough with reality to feel appropriately chagrined.
Also, the difference between empty consumerism and genuine thrift is too often mixed up by Ms. Shell. What could have been spelled out better is the difference between someone who would gladly pay $150 for an American made floor jack, but has to go with the $80 Chinese version since the next closest thing that isn't made in China is over $500. The lack of a middle ground in such cases is touched upon, but then she leaves it and rambles on to another opinion based on faulty facts.

Promising concept but disappointing execution
I was excited to listen to this book, but I found as it went on that entire chapters were based on research from other, very popular books I've already read over the past years. Then I felt that much of the content was more politicized than I care for in books having to do with research and behavior. In books like this, I'm looking for fresh information, not repetition and politics. At 2/3 of the way through, I'm moving on to something else. If you're inclined to politics and haven't read "Predictably Irrational," you may enjoy it more than I did. Then again, you may enjoy "Predictably Irrational."

Ideology in search of data
After reading books by Ariely, Kahneman, and Silver, all which present their arguments completely based on peer reviewed research or objective data, it can be hard to read books lacking the same discipline. Ruppel Shell puts forth an ideology at times supported by fact and data, but mostly based on opinion and extrapolations. There are some interesting historical anecdotes that offer insight into the evolution of retail, though sadly these are also overshadowed by the author's foregone conclusions.

It changed the way I see the world
I learned more about capitalism, economics, and the environment in this book then I ever learned at school. I just wish more people would read it (or listen to it) and help change the way we live and the world we live in.

Tag: Zombie Death House
Zombie Death House
by Geoff on Mar.13, 2010, under Daily Review
I can't believe the legend, John Saxon actually directed this. He's worked with some of the finest directors on the planet, Argento and Margheriti, but this is all he has to offer? It's a difficult film to watch, a drab piece of celluloid with poor acting and a dismal script. All that is missing is Chuck Norris to liven things up and to be honest, that would have been a master stroke, alas, no Norris. Saxon's performance is good though, as expected.
Premise is, Saxon plays a scientist, experimenting on a serum which transforms people into powerful fighting Zombies. Trying this out in a Prison of all places, things get out of hand which results in a battle between inmates, prison guards and killer zombies. It's a simple pitch and a simple movie for the simple viewer.
Saxon is great in his role, but he always is. Anthony Franciosa puts in a quality performance too as a mob boss working on the inside, but apart from this, there isn't much else to say, except, can I have my last 2 hours back please?

Games! Hallelulah!
Its time that I make up for all the lack of activity on metru realm so, I will be posting games in the fun zone!
Points Of An Alternative Story
Are you someone who enjoyes the more "mystical" points of Bionicle? Perhaps these modifications of the story might appeal to you!
.There is no Mata Nui robot; Mata Nui remains more of a deity
.Bara Magna is a continent, not a planet
.When Teridax takes over the "universe" he strips Mata Nui of his power and exiles Mata Nui and the Ignika to Bara Magna
.In the final battle (Mata Nui vs. Makuta) the magnitude of the battle raises a landmass from under the ocean that connects bara magna and Mata Nui (the island)
.Teridax and the other Makuta are spirits and therefore cannot be "killed" in every sense of the word.
Any questions? Just ask
Will bionicle return?
There is a possibility that bionicle may return...
It is a long shot, seeing as i only have two clues, however i will present them now.
1. The bionicle website hasn't been taken down, could this mean that they are saving it for when bionicle is revived?
2. In the recently released bionicle concept video it said that the first chapter in the bionicle saga is over, could there be more chapters coming?
will hero factory be killed by an even less creative line?
will the hero factory co - exist with lego super hereos like the bionicle did with lego ben ten or will it die like the throwbots?
there seems to be no sign of hero factory "4.0" it seems only 3.0 can be spotted in the background! is this the horrible demise of bionicles succesor and the end of creative lego action figures? or will it be a failing attempt for lego to commercialize and hit the big bucks as ben ten was? only time will tell! please put your thoughts in the comments section below!
possible membership zone.
if you like my website ( metru realm) than you might be interested in becoming a member when the membership site/zone is opened. read on for more.
around august i will be creating a website or zone for members.
this area will have movies, exclusive content, topic discussion, building tips, product reviews and possibly even some games. the terms for signing up are simple comment on this page how i can contact you ( email, youtube, bzpower, ect.) and i will send you the code for unlocking the site when it is complete. i will NOT contact you through phonecalls or skype.
A new chance for BIONICLE?
it turns out that the have HF pieces on digital designer too. But i have designed and am going to finish uploading a full line of bionicle sets using digital designer! the story revolves around matoran colonizing Bota Magna ( story will be published in the short stories section). now the downside is that they are very costly. My response is to download and look at the set and then buy the parts on pick a brick. once i am done uploading sets i will put a link to the page in the zone.
I have ordered two recon team characters a just a few days after the designer came out
and they still haven't gotten them yet!
But they sent out an email saying that they would send in an extra exclusive piece with it!
well doesnt that make it worth the wait? you may ask, but no the piece is a plain fire piece that you can get with DILDOZER (inside joke) or any other villain set this year! come on lego, you can do better than that!
recon team overview
well recon team digital designer is finally here! but was it worth the wait? read on to find out !
thank goodness that its here but although it is very cool there are definitely some major flaws that probably wont get fixed! here is a pros and cons list:
.provides a good way to work with the new building system!
.a digital designer for bionicle/hero factory (FINALLY!!!)
.create your own one-of-a-kind character!
.a box featuring your own creation (and instructions)
. awesome special edition chest armor only found here!
. no annoying software to download.
. slightly more complex storyline.
. cannot turn pieces in the direction you want them.
. limited range of colors.
. can only build hero NO OTHER LARGER STRUCTURES!!! >:(
. have to chose name from word list.
in my opinion it could be better but its a lot better than nothing!
Custom Bionicle Market
have you ever bought a custom bionicle off ebay or craigslist? if not than here are the pros and cons of it
.you have a one of a kind bionicle!
. the creator made something new that you would not have thought of!
.usually you can come up with an awesome storyline for it!
. sometimes it may have been featured in a youtube movie or video!
. it is a never before seen set!
. there are no instructions!
.no cool canister to show off with.
. are pricey sometimes.
I have bought a couple of these off ebay and they are AMAZING!!! so point is keep an eye out for these because they are usually worth any price!
First Post!
here i will be posting articles and events in the OBC (online bionicle community) as well as a few tidbits from HF.

Impact of Reality TV on Children
The face of Indian Television has gone through complex plastic surgeries since its birth into our society. From a single soap Hum Log which the entire village used to watch on a single television set, with unimaginable zeal, to the crispy sitcoms Shriman Shrimati, Dekh Bhai Dekh, Tu Tu Main Main, to Ekta Kapoor's melodramatic Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, to the youth centric drama Sanjeevani, the Indian audience have relished them all. Then, when these production houses found it tough to drag their shows beyond a certain limit and plummeting TRPs started glaring them straight in their faces, came the need and the era of something refreshing and this something refreshing was our own friendly monster - Reality Television.
Reality Television is a genre of television programming that presents purportedly unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and usually features ordinary people instead of professional actors. These people are put in some altogether extraordinary situations or unnerving locations and are told to act in a certain way by the story editors, so that they are able to strike an emotional chord with the gullible glue watchers of TV. Highly sensitized and overtly manipulated, these scripted realities are responsible for spoiling the smooth fabric of our society, thus encouraging money mindedness, voyeurism and sadistic pleasure. Some popular types of reality shows are game shows, talent hunts, dating shows, supernatural and paranormal shows, talk shows, etc. These shows, despite all criticism, have become an essential part of our daily lives and a spicy topic of idle gossip at social gatherings.
But amid all the gala time we're having, what we fail to realize, is that we're harming our naive ones big time. Children with their impressionable minds and over sensitive nature susceptible to the slightest of forces, become hapless victims of these scripted realities. Having no sense of discrimination between right and wrong, reality and fiction, they tend to believe in whatever they see on the television screen and try to emulate the protagonists instinctively. And this, most of the times becomes dangerous, both to their moral system as well as to their precious lives. Shows like Emotional Atyachar, Khatron Ke Khiladi and Roadies are very much responsible for these kind of mishappenings. Recently a game show, Sach Ka Samna starred by the TV channel Star Plus was taken off air by the government for showing unethical and corrupt content harmful for the innocent minds and unacceptable to various strata of our society.
As far as the child participants are concerned, they are no less victimized than their viewer counterparts. Talent Hunt shows like Jhalak Dikh Laa Jaa, India's Got Talent, etc. are responsible for playing dirty and grave with the physical and emotional health of children. Though these shows play a very positive role in providing our talented Indian kids with a platform, rather really huge, to showcase their uncapped talents, compete with the tough world and thus fulfill their cherished dreams, but all that doesn't come without paying an unreasonably high price. It is observed that the child participants in these shows are subject to strenuous routines of continuous singing and dancing, exposed to harsh lights for long hours and victimized by harsh and unnecessary jibes by the judges on board. In 2008, a sixteen year old girl, Shinjini sunk into depression and eventually was paralyzed after being severely rebuked by the judges in a Bengali dance reality show. Shockingly, facts about the girl's asthmatic contion, were hidden by the parents from the concerned authorities. Here, though the parents are to be rightly blamed for prioritizing expected and much dreamt of fame over their child's safety, but this case validates the need of a strict medical examination of the participants prior to being allowed to participate, something which is completely missing in these shows. Such talent shows are not completely undesirable, provided they do not let child participation become CHILD LABOUR, for we want more Abhijit Sawants, Shreya Ghoshals and Sunidhi Chahans rather than another Shinjini out of their profit flooded pockets.
All said, making hay while the sun shines though with precaution and responsibility is the need of the tough hour. Television production houses need to realize that, they, being the biggest form of media, have huge social responsibilities to fulfill- towards children, towards households, and towards society, for they can't escape scot-free from the sharp glare of the society and law. And our budding flowers need to be loved, taken the best care of, and emboldened enough to traverse the rough patches ahead, with their minds free and heads held high!!!

Are PhotoSat satellite surveys really more reliable than ground surveys?
By Gerry Mitchell, P.Geo, President PhotoSat
World View 2 satellite survey in Libya with ground survey points for a 3D oil and gas seismic survey
In 2008, I would get a hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach whenever customers phoned or emailed to tell us that the PhotoSat surveys did not match their ground surveys. Back then, I was sure there was a problem with the satellite photos, or that we had made some terrible mistake in our processing.
However, by 2013 our customers were using PhotoSat satellite surveys to check and adjust their ground surveys.
Ground surveys right, PhotoSat surveys wrong?
Back in 2008 it was clear to everyone, including me, that ground survey data was right and satellite survey data wrong. After all, ground survey data was collected by someone who had stood on the ground. It was the "ground truth".
In comparison, the PhotoSat surveys were produced from satellite photos taken from 750 kilometers above the earth. Of course the ground surveys were right and the satellite photo surveys were wrong. Or so we thought.
However, as we did more and more satellite surveying projects, we began finding obvious ground survey errors. Some of these projects had thousands of ground survey points.
We also learned that ground surveyors don't actually make errors or mistakes. Instead they make "blunders". I guess that it's sort of like stumbling. "It just happens. It's not my fault at all".
Ground target at a mining project drill hole with arms 20cm wide and 1m long. The images to the right show how this target appears on a 50cm ground resolution GeoEye satellite photo.
Some ground surveys wrong, PhotoSat right
We began finding projects with two sets of ground survey data, one set matching the PhotoSat surveying perfectly and the other set mismatching. Investigating these cases with customers was often entertaining.
On one project in southern Mexico,all of the ground survey points on or near roads matched the PhotoSat surveying perfectly. The points in remote areas, particularly on the tops of hills, had differences of two to five meters in elevation.
After investigating, our customer reported that the contract surveyor on the job was "gravitationally challenged". I took this to mean that he was quite heavy.
So what happened? The surveyor had used his high quality, bulky, GPS surveying equipment for the survey points that he could drive to. But he had sent his young assistant with a hiker's GPS to all of the survey points on the hilltops. The surveyor was confident that the client would never check those remote points.
By 2010, we had become much more confident in the accuracy and reliability of our PhotoSat surveying. When there was a mismatch between PhotoSat surveying and ground GPS surveying We began suggesting that the PhotoSat surveying was "usually right". As you can well imagine, many of our customers, and all of their surveyors, were sure that I was delusional.
We had to find another strategy. We began saying "Thanks for telling us about our mistake. Please send us a copy of your survey data and we will see if we can identify and fix our problem".
Drill hole with a 40cm by 40cm white concrete block on a mining project in central Mexico. The drill holes on this project were surveyed three times by three different GPS survey contractors. The coordinates of this drill hole on the three surveys are shown on an extreme zoom of the PhotoSat WorldView satellite survey. The PhotoSat survey has more reliable coordinates than any of the 3 GPS surveys.
Not all GPS surveys created equal
We also learned that not all ground GPS surveys are created equal. All good quality GPS systems record the GPS signals for later processing, so we began asking for copies of these GPS recordings along with the GPS ground survey coordinates.
The effect of this simple request on the quality of the survey data was remarkable. Some surveyors would immediately go and resurvey the ground points as soon as we asked for the GPS recordings.
By processing the GPS recordings we could see how long the surveyors had been at each point. In many of the significant mismatches, we discovered that the GPS recording times were much too short for ten centimeter accuracy. At first we had some pushback from many surveyors when we suggested that their coordinates were probably inaccurate.
Then in June 2011, the International Association of Oil and Gas producers published a thick report of guidelines for GPS surveying. This was freely available as a PDF file. For us this was a godsend.
Whenever there was debate about GPS accuracy, we would email a copy of the report saying "These are the guidelines that we are relying on. Please tell us where they are wrong". All the discussions about recording times for GPS accuracy stopped.
Most ground surveys are good quality
Of course, it's worth noting that most of the ground surveys that we receive are very good. Only occasionally are there serious problems that we cannot easily resolve. And of course PhotoSat makes processing errors and mistakes.
We always investigate whenever the PhotoSat surveying does not match the ground surveying. And when we find our mistakes we fix the PhotoSat survey data and resend it to the customer at no cost.
Correcting multiple mismatching ground surveys
By 2013, many of our repeat customers no longer assumed that the PhotoSat surveys were wrong when they did not match their ground surveys. Some began using PhotoSat satellite surveying to check their ground surveying.
In just five years there had been a 180 degree shift. In 2008, ground surveying always proved that PhotoSat surveying was wrong. However, by 2013 the PhotoSat surveying was being used to quality check and fix ground surveying.
This is great for projects with several different ground surveys. These are often surveyed by different contractors. For example, we have one case of an oil and gas project with five different ground GPS surveys performed by five different contractors. We proved that none of the ground surveys matched any of the other four ground surveys.
The key ground survey was for an oil well that discovered several hundred million barrels of oil. We matched the PhotoSat survey to the discovery well. All of the other 4 surveys mismatched the PhotoSat survey, each by different horizontal and vertical distances.
We used the PhotoSat survey to measure the offsets of each of the ground surveys from the oil well. Then, we adjusted the other four surveys to match the oil well. This gave the project a consistent set of ground surveys all matched to the oil well.
This case history is described in more detail here.
Five GPS surveys on an oil and gas project. Each was done by a different survey contractor. None of the surveys matched each other. PhotoSat detected the mismatches and adjusted the survey data to produce a coherent survey data set.
There are more case histories and accuracy studies on the experience section of the PhotoSat website.

And make sure you enter all our giveaways here!
Sure, we spent a boatload to build our raised beds. But you don't have to. Here's how our Central New York friends, Josh and Beth built raised beds out of pallets for cheap. [Almost nothing!] And guess what.....you can too! Or at least go on their picture journey.
And make sure you enter all our giveaways here!
Sometimes when life throws us a curve ball it forces us to new heights. Josh's wife Beth had knee surgery but could not get onto the ground due to ACL repair. And Beth likes gardening and Josh wanted to make not only raised beds but really raised beds. This way, bending over wasn't as issue at all.
The pallets were free and so Josh popped out all the nails and stacked all the pieces up. If you're looking for free pallets, they're pretty easy to find. If you don't see signs out where you are, check out Craigslist. Businesses are constantly throwing them out too.
A little assembly required!
Josh put plastic on the inside of the boxes and gravel and rocks on the bottom for drainage. These steps also keep mold from forming in the boxes. We love the trellis on the backend. Grow vertical to save space.
Josh and Beth have not had a problem with small animals such as rabbits because they are so high off the ground. If you have a fence like us, you know that rabbits can squeeze themselves under the fence right into your garden. These boxes are extremely heavy and if they ever move they're going to have to stay put for the next owners. Lucky them!
What's on your to-do list?
8/5/2014 12:54:35 am
What a great idea! In addition to this being low cost, I love that the beds are raised off the ground - so much easier to weed and pick your veggies!
8/5/2014 02:02:12 am
What a great tutorial on how to build raised beds, Laura! I've never actually thought about using them before, but now that you explain the benefits of keeping rabbits and other animals out, it definitely seems like it's worth it. And this sounds like a project that even my husband could take on!
8/5/2014 03:34:00 am
Such a smart way to get what you want and reuse materials. I would love to have a couple of raised garden beds.
8/5/2014 08:16:55 am
I would love to add a couple of these around the edge of my patio!
8/5/2014 01:31:52 pm
These are fantastic, Laura! You would never know they were made of free pallets! I think if I ever want some of these, though, I will get your family to come over and make them for me!
8/5/2014 01:40:31 pm
It was a fun project, we are hoping to make one more.
8/5/2014 03:00:16 pm
My uncle owns a pallet company. I should rob him of a few pallets. :) These are beautiful.
8/5/2014 04:59:20 pm
I am going to have some raised beds in my garden and this is such a great idea. My dad has a friend who makes pallets so I shall ask him for some. Lucky me :)
Okay, I need a raised garden bed. It is my DREAM to have a backyard full of them. This is so helpful! I am pinning this so one day when I feel ambitious, I'm going to do it! (Or get a handsome boy to build it for me? -not to be lazy or antifeminist or anything, but I would like that :D). I just love the look of them, so organized and neat.
8/6/2014 05:00:39 am
Oh my goodness, what an amazing idea! I have dog that LOVES veggies; this would be perfect to keep him out. All I'd have to do is think of adding something on top to keep out the local acrobatic squirrels and it'd be perfect!
8/6/2014 06:19:46 am
I know, what a great project and the fact that they built these for almost no money amazing me!!! We've heard they'll building a shed next much in the same way, will keep you all posted!
8/6/2014 11:21:05 am
Such a great post! Saving it for future use when I decide to make my own which btw I have wanting to do for long!!
8/7/2014 01:13:34 pm
I asked my hubby to make something similar to these this spring. Never happened. :( But...now that I've seen this, they will be ready for next year. I guarantee!!! Great post, thank you.
Laura, this post is so perfect!! I've been wanting a big garden for so long, but animals keep getting into it and I think this would be the perfect solution!! It is also nice, because it wouldn't make any lasting changes to our backyard, so we could move it if we wanted to. I wish I was handier because I really want a few of these! Maybe I can convince my husband to make them for me :)
8/8/2014 02:23:59 am
This project was a lot of fun to do. And much easier then you would think. We cut most of the wood together but I assembled about half of these beds by myself one day while the hubby was at work.... and was so proud of myself that I made a much smaller version for an herb garden on my porch all by myself the next week :) The pallet wood is relatively soft wood so its really easy wood to work with - cuts really easily with a chop saw and the screws sink right it. Thanks for writing up such an awesome post Tom and Laura!
8/8/2014 08:19:50 am
I can't believe you assembled these yourself Beth, that is just inspirational, maybe I should stop waiting for Tom to do projects I want done and get a move on myself =)
8/8/2014 12:02:30 pm
ah I am so glad I found this post! This is something I have always wanted to do was have a raised garden! what a great post! these turned out beautiful!
8/16/2014 08:11:31 am
What a great idea…raised this high would just solve so many problems and make things even easier!
10/17/2014 07:26:26 am
oh my gosh this is such a great idea! ... is the picture on the front of your blog your garden? ... that garden plus this idea is so cool, we have a very small garden, we just use pots right now but someday hope to have one as big as the one pictured! such a great thing to look forward too ;-) love it!
10/17/2014 07:44:08 am
Yes, it was my Mother's Day gift and I love it! Container pot gardener is a lot of fun too though =)
10/27/2014 04:12:59 pm
This is a great post on how to build your own raised bed. It will come in handy for those of us who live in apartments and have decks. Thanks for the information. Pinning this.
5/9/2015 03:10:40 am
Do you have a step by step tutorial for this project? wondering what you made the bottom out of, as not to root.
Jo-Anne Pfoh
2/17/2017 06:33:32 pm
I did my first ever garden last year. I had 58 bins. I have a huge huge yard but it is clay. I had so many vegetables I had no idea all my seedlings would take lol. My fav is zucchini but I can't see how they would work with being so high off the ground unless I just let them fall and trail on the ground I bet that would work. I really need to make this. I had dozens of pallets that i laid on a tarp then the bins on top. Thanks for the wonderful idea
7/31/2017 09:45:02 am
I was just wondering what type of plastic you used inside your box to keep the wood from rotting?
8/15/2017 07:53:56 am
Love this idea. I'm not sure what you used as your bottom. Was it a plastic tub and if so how was it attached?
Tanya Amos
2/22/2018 05:04:48 pm
Love the idea but would have loved a picture of the bottom and inside how you did it . Can you please inform us. I have seen several questions about it how was the bottom made.

I believe in the power of action.
"I can't do this now, I'm tired. I'm sad. I'm sick. I don't have the money. I don't have the time. I don't have the energy…"
These excuses were as familiar to me as the most intimate of friends. They helped me to put off the things I did not wish to do, but they didn't also keep me from realizing some of my most passionate desires. Everything from responding to emails to finally going out on a date with someone of whom my mother would approve never happened, because I couldn't – or just didn't – act.
One day, I decided to try a little experiment. If there was something that needed to be done, I would do it. Right then. No excuses. The first experiment lasted a little over 15 minutes. I was lulled into complacency by the television and the smell of a delivery pizza. "I can't do it now, I'm hungry..!"
As I thought about it, though, I realized that some of the "usual suspects" – the excuses I fell back on when there truly wasn't any reason to procrastinate – didn't quite stand up to the light of day if I just did what I was supposed to do, now.
Instead of waiting to fold the laundry, I did it. Instead of waiting to file my taxes, I did it. Instead of putting off that trip to the post office just one more day, I did it. When I did whatever it was I had to do, it was an incredibly liberating feeling. Suddenly, there was nothing I couldn't do. The ordinary, everyday tasks that used to hang over my head until I would finally break down and do them… suddenly weren't there any more! My laundry was folded, taxes were filed, letters were mailed.
I came to see that the solution to many of life's problems boils down to a simple matter of priorities. There is no such thing as having no time, or no money, or no energy, if something as a priority. Often times, thinking up reasons for procrastination takes more time than the action itself!
There could be some far-reaching consequences, if just a few people one day came to the same conclusion as I did. Say Congress truly wants to balance the budget for once. Well, cut the pork out of the appropriations bills and balance the budget. Now. Say that both sides of a conflict want to stop maiming and killing each other – say they want peace. Well… stop shooting each other. Stop it. Now.
It goes with saying that any action must be right action, and must be guided by a sense of morality. If you covet your neighbor's wife, I'm not advocating that you go ravish her now. The morality of right action is a whole other belief, though, and I've got to go take some of my unused things to charity – now.

Hello all,
Opportunity knocked, and I picked up a set of front Brembo's (CTS silver calipers, w/V logo) pretty reasonably. They are all new parts, and I am considering a color change on the caliper before I do the install. Longer wheel studs in hand, waiting for spacers to arrive. My car is Maverick Silver, and badge-less save for GM chicklets on the doors. The stock V caliper color will blend in with the 19" Sport wheel and body color, and some contrast may be in order.
Colors on the list are red, "Brembo" gold, and possibly yellow. I have found brembo caliper decals, but thought HSV decals might be even better (also available).

I have not been here in ages. I don't really like making excuses. but I just deleted three separate posts that I began (one, weeks ago!) but left after having problems uploading photos and not being able to edit them. I'm not really sure why things are happening as they are, but I have a feeling it might be a problem with our web host. I am using WordPress for this blog and I really like the ease of use but they are telling me I need to update. I think our web hosting site is so far behind the times, I cannot update to the newest version on WP. I am suspecting this might be a probable cause of my difficulties publishing my entries.
'Nuff said!
Winter has been long and somewhat brutal this year! We have endured some long spells of cold temperatures that were well below "normal". We didn't have huge amounts of snow, but the cold temperatures and wind has caused more weather alerts to pop up on my phone than I ever remember. Thankfully, the cold is diminishing….little by little. We have even had a few days that felt *warm*!
One week ago, we were given a "Winter Weather Alert", meaning that we might see some rain, freezing rain, and possibly snow. Why that alert wasn't upgraded to a "Winter Storm Warning" is beyond me! We actually wound up with about eight inches of snow! It began with a pounding rain early in the evening, changing over to freezing rain, and by 10 pm, it was snowing like crazy! And the snow! When I began shoveling Sunday morning, it was like shoveling water….it was heavy! But….it warmed up on Tuesday and Wednesday, and much of it disappeared!
On Tuesday afternoon, I took Murphy outside and he immediately scrambled up onto a snowbank Mark made with the plow. That pup went absolutely crazy, rolling around in the soft (heated by the sun) stuff.
I was afraid he would roll right off the bank, but the snow was so soft, it conformed to his body!
Things have been moving right along here in the Bristolwood. Michelle is currently looking for a job. She wants to remain in the area, so she has been searching locally. Ben is attending Finger Lakes Community College and is doing very well. At this point, we are seeing that home schooling didn't harm either child. (Although they might say otherwise!)
Mark and I are still getting together with friends every Tuesday night. It is a blessing to have such friends and it is a blessing to be able to get together as we do! We gather around the table for breaking of bread….and wow!…the incredible meals we get!!!….and then Mark and the "girls" practice music together. Sometimes there are eight or nine people, other times, twelve or thirteen. I really look forward to these times!
Now I have a great favor to ask. If you are inclined, would you please pray for a friend? His name is Mike and he is needing a miracle. I won't go into details, but God knows Mike and He knows all about the situation. Basically, Mike needs a healing touch from God. Thank you, in advance!
Well, I am getting a bit antsy for kinder weather so we can get outside more. Right now, the wind is a-howling and it is pretty chilly out there. I think the Beatles summed it up fairly well…….. "Little Darlin' it's been a long, cold, lonely winter!" Now…..let's hope "Here comes the sun"!

Doctor Strange
If you're looking forward to seeing the new Doctor Strange movie starring that English twat from Sherlock, then if I were you, please try to keep in mind that Stan Lee once produced a made for television movie based on the same character. First aired on American television in 1978, the CBS Network, Doctor Strange stars Jessica Walter (Morgan Le Fay), John Mills (Ghandi) plus Peter Hooton (Guess who?). Basically, this enthralling adventure tells the tale of Doctor Stephen Strange trying to stop Morgan Le Fay from opening the gates of hell. And does he do that? Well, you're going to have to watch this flick to find out. Now available on DVD.
Four decades of Star Wars history will come together for the first time in this highly illustrated year-by-year guide. Written by Ryder Windham, Daniel Wallace, and Pablo Hidalgo, the 328 page book will pull together a vast array of information from the films, comic books, novels, merchandise, and computer games, providing fans with everything they need to know about the phenomenon that is Star Wars. In addition to this, it's also chronologically arranged from 1973 to 2009, and includes stunning chapter openers for each decade, highly illustrated articles for each year that delve into important events, and, of course, fascinating facts about the influence of Star Wars in the real world (Star Wars™ Year by Year: A Visual Chronicle, £35, Published by DK, dk.com © & TM 2016 LUCASFILM LTD).
Based on the popular 90s cult comic book series of the same name, the critically-acclaimed 'Preacher' TV show, out now on DVD, follows a preacher from Texas called Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), his hell-raising ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun), all of which go on a wild, dark journey of revenge. These three rascals manage to blur the boundaries between good and bad, doing so in a world where it's difficult to know who to trust and what's right and wrong.
Before the X-Men, before the Avengers, and before the Guardians of the Galaxy, there was the Fantastic Four. No. I'm not referring to those two other films called the Fantastic Four, the ones starring actors such as Jessica Alba or Michael B. Jordan. Of course I'm referring to Roger Corman's version of the Fantastic Four, that naff version starring Alex Hyde-White, Mercedes McNab, plus a number of other television actors nobody's really heard of. Anyway, as I was saying, before those highly respected Marvel movies were released this lesser respected marvel movie was, well, basically, pretty nth rate. But never mind, eh? Thanks to Uncork'd Entertainment, for the first time ever this documentary will chronicle the story behind this production, and will feature never before seen footage as well as new on-camera interviews with cast and crew including Mister Corman, Jay Underwood, Michael Bailey Smith, Joseph Culp, Alex Hyde-White, and Rebecca Staab.

All the recent hubub about our political rhetoric led me to re-read a book by Peter Wood called A Bee in the Mouth: Anger in America Now. It was published in 2006, so at the time Wood focused mainly on the angry political rhetoric of the left. He didn't claim that political anger was solely a phenomenon of the left, but most of the examples of heated rhetoric came from left-wing sources. (This, by the way, is where I got that quote from Paul Krugman that I cited last week.)
At any rate, Wood concentrates on what he terms "new anger." He acknowledges that there has always been heated political argumentation, but that stylistically much has changed. People worked hard to suppress anger – witness George Washington's dedicated attempts to control his quick temper. Now anger is celebrated. It has become something of a performance art in our modern society, and we celebrate expressions of righteous anger. As someone who titles his personal blog (tongue-in-cheekly) the Cranky Conservative, I can see the merits of his argument.
Though Wood makes many decent observations, there are two problems with his book. Continue Reading

Brady Aiken, the top pick in this year's MLB Draft by the Houston Astros, has a ligament issue in his elbow and the Astros will look to sign him at a discounted rate, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports.
Aiken, a 17-year-old left-handed pitcher from San Diego, was reportedly set to sign two weeks ago for $6.5 million, but the deal was called off. Heyman reports that the snag was a result of Aiken's elbow issue and that the Astros are offering around $5 million now. MLB's slotting system values the top overall pick at $7.9 million.
This was the third consecutive year that the Astros had the top pick in the draft. In 2012 they selected Puerto Rican shortstop Carlos Correa, who suffered a season ending injury in June at Class A Lancaster. Houston's top pick in 2013, Stanford right-hander Mark Appel, has an 8.91 ERA this season in Single-A ball.
The deadline for Houston to sign Aiken is July 18.

What's Kent's Kitchen?
Kent's Kitchen was started after we spotted a gap in the food market and wanted to create a way for people – from busy professionals to time-poor family cooks, foodies to novices – to eat delicious, authentic food without the stress of long shopping lists, prep time and complicated cooking.
The meal kits were the driving force behind getting the company started but along the way other tasty, time-saving products were added to enhance meals quickly and easily.
We hope you enjoy our products as much as we love creating them!

Natural Remedies in Acne Treatment
In recent times, it has been proven that the number of people who have acne has increased drastically. The reasons for his have not been proven and as result, there is not official pronouncement on the reasons for this. However, we can make some assumptions that are susceptible to corrections. The reason there is a rampant case of acne today can be largely attributed to our diets and possibly the environment. In the past, reported incidents of acne treatments weren't exactly common. However, things have changed today. There is no clear account of the number of people suffering from acne. But the sale of medicines for acne is on the increase and this suggests that there is an increase in the number of people having acne. Acne which is mainly caused as a result of the clogging of the skin pores by the oil generated by the sebaceous gland in the skin. He clogging of the skin pores are s a result of certain bacteria. It is for this reason that most acne treatments are never effective. They concentrate more on eliminating the symptoms and not the root cause. So, instead of focusing on how to eliminate the bacteria, these solutions work for scar removal and pimple drying. Because most of these ointments and treatment methods hardly work, attention has shifted from over-the-counter-prescriptions and doctor recommended diagnosis to alternative therapy and medicine.These alternative therapies like Acnezine which can be found at www.acnezine.com have been consistently proven to work and produce the desired results. While most of them do not over hype their products like others do, it is said that they can easily get rid of any acne given a 30-day trial period. If this seems too far, then you can go on dealing with the same issues every time. But these products offer one of the most important solutions and cure to acne which is the elimination of the root cause instead of just symptom treatment. In conjunction with using natural remedies like Acnezine, it is always best to also change your diet from one of junk meals and foods to that which is filled with all forms of fruits. The plentier the fruits, the better. So, change the diet. Avoid all forms of foods oil rich foods like hotdogs, sandwich, cheese and anything related to cheese and a host of other forms of junk.For more information visit: http://www.acnezine.com/?aid=587979

|Bait hive working
Your bait hive should be placed 15' to 30' up a tree. You will need to be able to lower the hive once it contains bees. In this design, you can throw a rope around a limb near the trunk (this keeps the spinning down) or using a long pipe or stick, you can drop a role of line around the limb. No pipe you say? Try using a spear with the line tie to it (weight is the key). Click on the photos for a larger view.
You will need the following:
- Hot glue - It helps to reinforce the weaves and adds strength
- A trash basket (cane or wicker works well)
- Another basket, piece of cardboard or wood for the front of the hive
- Some nylon tie wraps, you could also use twine or small rope
- Some old chunks of comb (old, not moldy), if you don't have some, don't worry
- Either liquid swarm lure, lemon-grass oil or anise oil (look on the products page if I sell it)
- Rope (1/8 or larger, no twine) to hang, lift and lower the bait hive with. (you can also attach a rope to the hive to pull it down, recommended)
|Hanging loops detail
Before attaching the two halves, place the chunk of old comb inside the hive and rub some lure scent (what ever you have) INSIDE the hive near the entrance or sprinkle it on a cloth and place inside. Don't go crazy with the oil and only use one type. Mate the two halves together and secure with 4 nylon ties. When filled, you cut these loops to get the bees and combs out. Use two ties to make the rope attachment loops at each end. See photos.
|Detail of entrance
Find a tree or building to place the hive. Attach a small rope to the loops at each end. This is used to attach the hive to your lifting rope. You can level the hive by moving the knot to one end or the other so the hive hangs level.
Get the rope around the limb and pull the hive up the tree. Tie the end of the rope to the tree, a limb or a nail in the same tree so you can lower the hive. White nylon rope snags a lot on the bark, try a natural rope or poly rope.
|Waiting for a swarm
|With plywood front - cane basket
You can also make a low cost swarm trap out of a cardboard filing box available from an office supply store. Just add scented oils or bee lure and some old comb. You can use the hand holes as the entrance, just tape/block one closed, leaving only one open.
Here's a video on making a swarm trap from a concrete sonnet tube you can buy at most building supply stores.
If your looking for an article on how to use the cone type trap below, HERE is an article by Mannlake.
Below are a few pictures of various other swarm traps. This site has plans available in the DIY section also.

Beginning the descent.
Short Beach. I love the trees growing right out of the top of the rock.
Bracing himself for the wave to come....
Love this picture!
Cape Meares Lighthouse
Of course no trip to the beach is complete without a good log "rescue".
"Rescue" complete!
On our return, I stopped for a moment in the odd little building and took a couple pictures of a some of the graffiti that caught my attention.
The trail of 101 steps was sure a good cardiac work out! And it was fun to explore a new beach. We plan to return when the tide is low, and we can do a bit more exploring.
I find it very relaxing to wander slowly up and down the beach looking for these "treasures".

Following the tips on the next pages will help you lose weight. Whereas the tips on this page will help to keep it off.
The right habits are like money in the bank at a high interest rate. They pay over time. Get a few key habits right, and time will make you achieve your goals without even thinking about it.
"Make time your ally and time will make you" – Thomas Watson.
~~~ (1) Control your intake ~~~
Six out of seven days a week plan what you eat. Losing control of what you eat is easy, especially in the hectic workday. Go to canteens/cafes and you are already in an uphill battle. The healthy option doesn't look like it will fill you. The next best option looks dry and boring. So, you go for the high calorie option.
Find a variation of 10-15 healthy meals that you like, prepare them at home and take them to work. A lack of planning makes it much more tempting to follow impulses. At the very least bring fruit or small healthy snacks from home to avoid that spontaneous chocolate bar or candy which ruins all your other efforts.
~~~ (2) Control your hunger ~~~
Hunger is like a lion – sooth it before it roars or it will eat you. Defy hunger and you will lose! Goals will go out the window. A small and healthy snack before a main meal will help you not gorge yourself. To keep portion sizes reasonable have your main meal before you get really hungry. To keep your grocery trolley free of junk don't go shopping hungry.
Monitor your hunger over a week and find out when you normally get hungry. In future, have an apple or something healthy 30 minutes before you get hungry. And please don't take this tip as encouragement to constantly eat.
~~~ (3) Control your plan ~~~
How do you know that your diet plan is good? Having one is a great start. Checking that it's a good one is the second part. Two good ways to do that are: a) tracking your weight b) tracking calories.
- Weight tracking is easy and objective but it's backward-looking. It may take 2-4 weeks until you know your plan was good or bad.
- Tracking calories / food journal is more involved but accurate and forward-looking. A food journal is one of the most powerful ways to change your diet. It raises awareness and enables you to work things out for yourself. The key factors are to maintain it accurately and not give up on it. Studies show it is one of the best ways to change your diet.
If you don't mind the effort of calorie counting, and if you do it accurately, it is a very powerful companion to weighing. Weighing, however, should be the final and objective check.
You can't control if you don't measure. The key to controlling your intake is to have a good diet plan. The key to controlling your plan is to measure its success. If you don't achieve your goals, you need to change your plan. Try different things until you find a plan that works. Then continuously incorporate some changes so it doesn't get boring.
