Mystery Killer Silencing Honeybees

http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/0207Honeybees07-ON.html
I heard about this on the local news and it sounded like a big deal to me, so I looked for some national news stories, but surprisingly couldn't find any. This is a link to a local paper in AZ. If you search yahoo or google news for 'honey bee death' you will find many local news stories about it.

I find it kind of a big deal. Honey bees are responsible for pollinating a ton of crops each year. It's estimated that 40 percent of commercial honey bee colonies are already lost... read on.

time to smell the coffee

I am not a blogger, although I used to be a 'journaler' (I made that word up), but here's a short entry for you all. 


I have been very stressed and strained recently at work.  I realized I am in that mode of reactive living, rather than proactive living.  This goes against my annual assumed new year's resolution of living life purposefully.  Therefore today, on this beautiful Friday afternoon (beautiful in Vegas anyway) I am rededicating myself to that goal.


Here are some quotes I always turn to.  I am sure I have posted them sporadically through my site over the years, but I hope today they help you all to remember to take time to smell the coffee and to live a life of purpose. 








  • I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
    William Penn

  • This is the true joy in life - being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you consistent.
    George Bernard Shaw

  • I went to the woods, because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
    Henry David Thoreau

  • If we did all things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.
    Thomas Edison

  • Be what you are. This is the first step toward becoming better than you are.
    J.C. Hare

  • There is really no insurmountable barrier save your own inherent weakness of purpose.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson

  • I think it annoys God if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.
    Alice Walker

UFC 67 at Mandalay Bay Feb 2007




I was offered a ticket to the Ultimate Fighting Championship at Mandalay Bay this past weekend and since my first boxing match last year was such a success, I figured it could be fun. It was fun, but I am definitely more a fan of boxing. There were 9 fights in all.
