In my experience, selecting bee stock is the most important decision when starting in Bees. If you choose the wrong type, you can wind up with an aggressive bee or a disease ridden colony. Here is a quick-start guide to help aid you in your search for the perfect strain for you.
Apis Mellifera is the main scientific classification for European Honey Bees. There are several sub-species and hybrid species available. We will start our journey with the German Bee.
In the United States, beekeeping began with the German Bee (Apis mellifera mellifera) also called the Black Bees. German bees were brought to the United States in the 1600’s. They were the first bees to be domesticated, and were popular until the mid 19th century when the settlers began experimenting with other strains of bees. The advantages of the German bees were perfect white cappings on honey and good overwintering ability. German bees were susceptible to EFB (European Foulbrood), had a short tongue, and were quite defensive. This led to the Italian Bees being imported from Southern Italy.
The Italian Bees (Apis mellifera ligustica) are the most popular bee in the United States. They are the typical bee with bright yellow bands. Italian bees are less defensive, have strong brood rearing, good housekeepers, easy to spot queens, and less prone to disease than their German counterparts. They were advocated by L.L. Landgstroth, and the first commercially available queens were Italian. Their drawbacks are they are poor stewards of resources. They continue to raise brood even during times of dearth and going into winter. This causes them to consume excess food stores during the winter. They are also very bad at robbing from other hives. This causes disease to spread very rapidly.
Carniolan (Apis mellifera carnica) were brought to the United States in the late 1800’s. They originate from Slovenia. These bees are generally very docile, decrease brood rearing in winter and during times of dearth, and build up again rapidly in the spring. They are very hygienic. These bees are darker in color with grayish bands. The only real disadvantage of these bees is that they have a propensity to swarm.
The Caucasian (Apis mellifera caucasica) originate from the high valleys of central Caucasus Mountains in Georgia. They were introduced to the United States in the early 1900’s. They are very gentle bees, and have the longest tongue of all the races. However, they build up very slowly in the spring and use propolis to excess. They are also very susceptible to EFB and Nosema.
Cardovan bees are another variety for sale, however, they are not really a variety. They are typically Italian, but can come from any race. They are just sold based on a color. They have no black on them, have a yellowish color, and are very gentle.
African bees (Apis mellifera scutellata) , also known as “Killer bees” are not commercially available. They are extremely aggressive. If you get some time to read on them. I would recommend it. I have had contact with “Africanized” hives here in North Texas. They have a lot of positive attributes, but their aggressive nature makes them difficult to handle. I hope to discuss them in another blog topic later in the future.
A hybrid bee is nothing more than a cross between two pure races. There are formally two types that were commercially available here in the United States. They were the “Starline” and “Midnight” varieties. These two strains are no longer available.
Buckfast bees were bred by Brother Adam in the Buckfast Abbey. Brother Adam was an interesting character. I have read 2 of his books “In Search of the Best Strains of Bees” and “Beekeeping at Buckfast”. They are both very good insightful books, and I recommend them highly. Buckfast bees are a cross between native British bees and Italian bees. They are commercially available today. If you are in Texas, you can buy them from R Weaver Apiaries in Navasota, Texas.
Minnesota Hygienic Bees were developed by Dr. Marla Spivak, Professor of Apiculture and Social Insects at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Spivak carefully bred , over several years, by selecting bees with a typical hygienic behavior. These bees are resistant to American Foulbrood, Chalkbrood, and Varroa destructor. You can search online to find these bees for sale.
Varroa sensitive hygienic (VSH) Bees were developed by the USDA Honey Bee Lab in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. These bees have the particular behavior of detecting and removing pupae that are infested with Varroa destructor.
Survivor Stock Bees are bees that have successfully overwinted in the presence of Varroa destructor without any chemical treatment.

We are not associated with Crosman. This board is a private initiative.
Our goal is to join Crosman air pistol owners worldwide and offer a forum that is a pleasant place for them to hang out.
I have been collecting parts for years for this pistol now (due to weight) carbine.
Finally got it together thanks to Dougs (vertguy) grips & forearm.
silhouette and marauder pcp pistols etc.

We conduct all of the tests required for the ASTM D4806 specification for ethanol used for fuel blending. Our customers include ethanol producers, rail terminals and fuel terminals.
Ethanol is widely used for gasoline fuel blending in the US, Brazil, and Europe, and its use is expected to increase as a result of clean air regulations. Common gasoline-ethanol fuel blends include E10 (containing 10% ethanol) and E85 (containing 85% ethanol). Most motor vehicles today run using E10, and an increasing number of cars and light trucks are designed to be flexible-fuel vehicles, using ethanol-blend fuels up to E85.
The purity of ethanol going into fuel blending is critically important if the finished blend is going to meet specifications. The most common issues with blending ethanol are high water content and low pH (acidity). Other potential issues include non-volatile residue (gum), high methanol content and contamination with sulfates and chlorides.
The following is a list of the ethanol-related tests that we perform. For additional information about the test method, click on the method number.

BOULDER – Google did explore other opportunities in the Denver metro area in its quest to expand its Colorado presence.
BOULDER – Denver-based Galvanize said Thursday evening that it will lease two floors totaling 27,000 square at Pearl West.
LONGMONT – Terry Gold and his partners aren’t trying to replicate Boulder’s startup community in Longmont. But they do believe the city has a niche all its own that can lead to a thriving startup scene nonetheless.
That’s part of the reason the group is opening Launch Longmont, a co-working space in the Longmont Times-Call building that eventually will morph into an incubator and accelerator as well.
Elizabeth Kraus isn’t shy about where she believes the startup accelerator industry is going.
AllSource Analysis Inc. in Longmont has created a board of directors to guide the new company that analyzes images taken from satellites for customers in the financial markets, government and energy sectors.
BOULDER – Enterprise cloud security software provider Managed Methods Inc. raised $1.5 million recently.
The post Zayo Group adding 93 miles to its fiber network in Boulder appeared first on BizWest.
BOULDER – Broadband infrastructure provider Zayo Group Holdings Inc.’s initial public offering could be worth up to $800 million, according to a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Last July, the company said it planned to raise roughly $100 million.
The local impacts of Hewlett-Packard’s split into two companies might not be known for a few months as more specifics of the restructuring are detailed.
HP announced Monday that it is splitting into two publicly traded companies, HP Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. HP Inc. will focus on the company’s personal computer and printing business, while Hewlett-Packard Enterprise will be geared toward technology services like data storage, servers and software.

Works like the Material Dropper - but for components and groups.
Pick another group or component instance to replace the ones in your selection.
The replaced instances will be made to match the bounding box of the old.

hmm... think I'm seeing some oddities in some cases... looks like I need to take another look.
another good one. maybe swapper or changer would be a better name though.
Thomthom, let's say i have a tree with 1000 leaves,I have a single polygon representing the leaf, can I substitute the single polygon (which is a group) for another group say a higher poly one with mapped texture to replace all instances of the low one?

Yes - I'd think so.

I was considering that, but choose "Dropper" to indicate it was a tool like the Material Dropper.
but I got another one baking which will be a "??? Swapper"
good then, its just that when i first spotted this thread i was thinking of smartdrop at intersection and wondered what else could be done? drop is drop.

very punny Solo. but i like it!
Well, that is - you got until my next update to name this ... thingy-ma-jiggy.
cool, Thomas, D/L and having a play!!!
Great ThomThom. I had already thought previously about a plugin that made this.
Last edited by bagatelo on Fri Feb 12, 2010 9:59 am, edited 1 time in total.
What happend about the old component? Killed?
Pilou wrote: What happend about the old component? Killed?
Yes, the instance is slaughtered.
Thanks for a good laugh Thomthom!
use it.... for what ?????
No chance to see Component Dropper multiple?
That will be very cool!
3. Pick another group"s" or component"s" instance in a certain order (or automatically randomly with a general selection) to replace your selection.
Does it possible to keep the original size of the component and not an adapted size?
No. But I've wanted this myself. So added to todo list.
Comp Dropper never got renamed to Comp Swopper, right?
correct me if I am wrong. the way this plugin improves on the regular method (choosing a number of components in the model and replacing by another by right-clicking on this 2nd one in the components dialog and choosing "replace selected") is because it can also perform the same act on groups whereas the native method works only on components.
It also tries to preserve the component instance's size.
Is there something like the dropgc but to be undropped?
reason for this is when I work on placing light fixtures on a reflected ceiling, I will have those placed on the floor plan then "undrop" so they will attach to the ceiling?
is there something like it out there to do this?.
Not sure it's that you want ?
But if your lights are not Group or component that will be impossible!

After you created a CodeTwo Admin Panel panel account and logged in, it's time to register your Office 365 tenant.
You can add a new tenant to the Admin Panel directly from the Dashboard, by clicking the Add ( ) button on the Tenants card (Fig. 1.). Alternatively, go to the Tenants tab and use the Add new tenant ( ) button.
if you use the Office 365 Germany version, it's not possible to add global Office 365 tenants.
Learn more in our Knowledge Base.
Fig. 1. The Dashboard's initial appearance (no tenants added yet).
In either case, a 4-step wizard will open. In the first step (1. License agreement) read and accept the terms and conditions (Fig. 2.).
Fig. 2. Adding a new tenant - step 1.
In the next step (2. Login - not shown here) click Next and you will be redirected to the Microsoft account sign-in website (Fig. 3.). Sign in with your Office 365 global admin credentials - this is the only account type that has all the permissions required by the program to add personalized email signatures.
The program uses Azure OAuth 2.0 authentication. Your credentials are safe, because they are passed directly and only to Microsoft servers; they are never stored on any CodeTwo or third-party servers.
Fig. 3. The Office 365 sign-in page.
Accept the permissions necessary to run CodeTwo Email Signatures for Office 365 with your tenant.
After that, in step 3. Geolocation (Fig. 4.) you need to select a geolocation for CodeTwo cloud services. Choose the location of the server in which your Office 365 tenant resides (or the nearest one) and click Register.
Be sure to choose the right location for CodeTwo services as it is not possible to change this later without deregistering your tenant (which will also cancel your subscription). If you need to modify your geolocation, please contact our Support.
Fig. 4. Choosing the location of CodeTwo Email Azure Service.
Successful registration will be confirmed in the last step (4. Provisioning), shown in Fig. 5.
Fig. 5. Successful tenant registration.
Directly after tenant registration you need to wait (usually for about 3-15 minutes) for our services to be provisioned, before you can proceed with further configuration. You can track the provisioning status of your tenant on the Tenants tab, by refreshing the page. When it’s finished, the Status on your tenant's card will change from Provisioning in progress to Connectors configuration required (Fig. 6.). You will also get an email notification with further setup instructions.
Fig. 6. The tenant status displayed after the provisioning of our services is completed.
Once the provisioning of our services is finished, a new accepted domain will be added to your Office 365 tenant: [your unique ID].smtp.codetwo.online (or [your unique subdomain name].de-smtp.codetwo.online if you use the Office 365 Germany version).
Please do not remove the new domain - it's the new requirement from Microsoft, to make your email even more secure. If you remove it, the program will not work correctly. If you accidentally deleted the new CodeTwo domain from your Office 365, contact us.
Please do not verify this domain in your Exchange admin center. If Office 365 sends you notifications or warnings (e.g. to update the domain's DNS settings), you can configure this domain as described in this article or ignore these warnings - your mail flow is not affected.
At this point, your tenant is almost ready - you only need to complete a few additional steps to finish the tenant's configuration. To learn more, click the Connectors configuration required status on your tenant's card (Fig. 6.).The program will show additional information and redirect you to the Next steps page (Fig. 7.), where you will learn what is required to finish the configuration of your tenant.
Fig. 7. The Next steps page.
It is recommended that you configure SPF records and Exchange Online connectors now, according to the instructions displayed (Fig. 7.). For a detailed procedure, see the next articles in this section.

Make your voice heard and vote in the municipal elections this Saturday.
The ship of state can seem a lumbering, unresponsive vessel even in the best of times.
Still, when we’ve got the opportunity to put our hands on the tiller and set a course change — even if just for a moment — it’s worth the effort.
The course for North Vancouver Island over the next four years will be set Saturday when electors choose new mayors, municipal councillors, and at least one new School District 85 Board trustee.
Are things going to be sunshine and flowers the next day, with a chicken in every pot and a boat alongside every garage?
Probably not. These candidates are every bit as human as the rest of us who don’t reach out to dip our oars into the turbulent waters of civic governance.
But our particular form of government remains, at least at the local level, a representative matter. They hold the office; we hold them to account.
Such a system works only when all participants — even those who don’t recognize their own participation — fulfill their roles.
When politicians make grandiose promises, it’s often because they don’t believe they’ll be held to account by the electorate. We haven’t gotten those promises from our local candidates, so they must think we’re paying attention. Prove them right. Fill out a ballot.

Pokémon GO, the augmented reality mobile game that has taken the world by storm since it was released on Android and iOS earlier this month, is gaining new fans every day. Celebrities like late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon, popstar Justin Bieber, Sports Illustrated covergirl Chrissy Teigen and Hollywood action star Christian Slater, are all self-confessed Pokémon GO aficionados, and it’s not difficult to see why. While some people are reported to be giving up their jobs to take up the game full time, others are getting into all sorts of trouble while playing the game. However, at least one New York resident seems to have had better luck than most in his quest to be the ultimate master.
As reported earlier, Mr. Nick Johnson, a 28-year old resident of Brooklyn, NY, recently claimed that out of the 151 species of Pokémon that exist in theory, he’s now got the full gamut of 142 that one can realistically hope to catch in the U.S. While his claim is yet to be corroborated by Niantic, various news outlets have already released screenshots (seen in the gallery below) believed to be from Mr. Johnson's phone, apparently confirming his claims. He claims to have spend between six to ten hours every night hunting for the little critters around New York City, according to an interview he granted to CNN over the weekend. His girlfriend, apparently, was supportive of his quest, and would even join him often in his search for the Pikachus and the Raichus in and around the Big Apple. He also admitted to having hired an Uber to drive him around Jersey City after being tipped off about finding ‘Dratini’ there. His final catch, however, came in Central Park a little after midnight on July 21, after spending two whole weeks rounding up the virtual creatures.
The New York resident now says that his next course of action would involve going around the world in an effort to catch some of the Pokémon that are still missing from his collection. That includes three different species that are found only in specific parts of the world. While Mr. Mime can only be found in Europe, Kangaskhan has only been spotted in Australia and New Zealand. Farfetch’d, meanwhile, is a native of Japan, so one needs to be a globetrotter to catch all three of them. And that’s exactly what Mr. Johnson now hopes to do, with a little bit of help from Marriott Rewards, the loyalty program of JW Marriott Hotels and Resorts. The hospitality chain says it has offered to partner with Mr. Johnson as he embarks on his mission to grab the remaining Pokémon and become the first person ever to catch ‘em all.

India’s Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) probe suffered a surprise hiccup overnight (Nov. 11 IST) when the main engine shut down prematurely and left the country’s first ever mission to the Red Planet flying in a significantly lower than planned interim elliptical orbit around Earth – following what was to be her 4th orbit raising burn since last week’s flawless launch.
“MOM is in normal health,” at this time according to the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) – which has now scheduled a supplementary main engine firing for early Tuesday (Nov. 12) to boost the crafts orbit the missing 20,000 km required.
Monday’s engine firing only raised MOM’s apogee (farthest point to Earth) from 71,623 km to 78,276 km compared to the originally planned apogee of about 100,000 [1 lakh] km), said ISRO in a press release.
This is the first serious problem to strike MOM in space. And it seemed clear to me something might be amiss when ISRO failed to quickly announce a successful completion of the 4th firing as had been the pattern for the initial three burns.
The premature shutdown of the liquid fueled 440 Newton main engine “imparted an incremental velocity of 35 metres/second as against 130 metres/second originally planned,” ISRO stated.
That’s barely a quarter of what was hoped for.
A series of six absolutely essential firings of the 440 Newton main engine – dubbed “midnight maneuvers” – had been originally scheduled by Indian space engineers.
The purpose of the “midnight maneuvers” is to achieve Earth escape velocity by gradually raising MOM’s apogee over several weeks, and set her on a trans Mars trajectory to the Red Planet, following the spectacular blastoff on Nov. 5 from India’s spaceport.
MOM was due to depart Earth’s orbit on Dec. 1 after accomplishing the 6th of the originally scheduled thruster firings – and begin a 10 month long interplanetary cruise to Mars.
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd thruster firings were spot on and incrementally raised MOM’s apogee from 23556 km to 28814 km, 40186 km and 71,623 km respectively.
The next firing had been slated for Nov. 16.
“During the fourth orbit-raising operations held today (November 11, 2013), the redundancies built-in for the propulsion system were exercised, namely, (a) energising the primary and redundant coils of the solenoid flow control valve of 440 Newton Liquid Engine and (b) logic for thrust augmentation by the attitude control thrusters, when needed.
It is not known at this time how or whether the requirement for a supplemental “midnight maneuver” engine firing will affect the mission’s timing at Earth and its operations and longevity at Mars.
Why are the firings called midnight maneuvers?
“Firing has to happen near the perigee and in the visibility from ISTRAC ground stations. All these orbits have argument of perigee of ~285 deg. When all these constraints are put together, firings time will almost always fall in to midnights of Indian sub continent,” said ISRO in response to a readers inquiry.
MOM was to arrive in the vicinity of Mars on September 24, 2014 when the absolutely essential Mars orbital insertion firing by the 440 Newton liquid fueled main engine will slow the probe and place it into a 366 km x 80,000 km elliptical orbit.
The low cost $69 Million MOM mission is the first of two new Mars orbiter science probes from Earth blasting off for the Red Planet this November.
Half a world away, NASA’s $671 Million MAVEN orbiter remains on target to launch in less than one week on Nov. 18 – from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
What I don’t understand is why 5 am IST? The satellite will not be visible from India and it will be in an odd position in its orbit for addition of thrust.
hey mister. NASA just confirmed that it would assist in communication and navigation of Mangalyaan. It is not directly providing any assistance to ISRO for any kind of navigation. ISRO is self sufficient in handling any of its project and any other organisation has no need to assist it.
This time it is ISRO and only ISRO.
Yes thats because india doesnt have monitoring stations throughout the world like USA – but the mars mission is entirely indias technology ..
The satellite is not visible to human eyes any ways, doest matter day or night.
Pretty cool! Good luck India!
The supplementary orbit raising manoeuver of ISRO’s Mars Orbiter Mission spacecraft, to raise the apogee height to about 1 lakh km completed successfully. Velocity added is 124.9 m/s.
Long article is long. Is the mission still salvageable?
Yeah, the mission is back on track.
The supplementary maneuver to raise the satellite to required orbit was successful as of today morning 5:30 AM IST.
2013, with a burn Time of 303.8 seconds has been successfully completed.
The observed change in Apogee is from 78276 km to 118642 km.
I think NASA will help in Deep space navigation when orbiter is near Mars and during non-visible period of ISRO’s network.
Say “Hi” to my stranded Kerbals.

While BAiP exists because of its members who volunteer, volunteering is also good for members! This is backed by scientific evidence. (See this link for information).
To keep BAiP going strong, new volunteers from our membership are not only welcome but also vital. The time commitment might range from an hour a week to an hour a day, or more.
In other words, we welcome people who are willing to roll up their sleeves. To learn more about volunteering with BAiP, please contact us at volunteers@bloominplace.org or 212-842-8831, x41.
BAiP regularly celebrates its volunteers at an event when the Sands Award is given to recognize outstanding volunteering service with BAiP. In honor of our volunteers, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer has issued proclamations designating the day of the event as "Bloomingdale Aging in Place Volunteer Appreciation Day in Manhattan."

Off The Mark: Writing, Men in Kilts, and an open letter to Diana Gabaldon.
Writing, Men in Kilts, and an open letter to Diana Gabaldon.
Please, for the love of all things holy, stop with the "she shivered despite the heat" or "he began to sweat despite the cold" schtick. If there were a drinking game for an over used cliché in your writing, this would be it, one hundred times over. Please believe that people can understand from context that when you mention the somebody gets goose prickles due to a scary/creepy/eery/etc event that we understand that they are not simply cold. I am at the point where every time these phrases crop up I end up yelling out loud at the book. This can be quite embarrassing when I'm reading in a public space, and has even scared the dog on occasion.
So please, for all our sakes, enough with the temperature to physical reaction disclaimers. And do keep writing your vastly entertaining books. They are quite fabulous after all.
Ah, it feels good to get that off my chest finally. I love reading, and I really love settling into the rhythm and feel of an author's writing style. This is one reason I love reading many things by a single author, and also why I almost never read collaborative works (for example, I love, love, love Larry Niven's earlier books, but now all he does is collaborations so I don't even bother). But it also means starting to notice little things that can pull me out of the story (like mentioned above). It also can have an impact on my own writing style, which can be good or bad, depending on how... unique the style is.

Officials are moving forward with development plans for Lake Compounce, but action on the approval to remove 61,000 yards of material for potential amusement park expansion was tabled by the Planning and Zoning Commission last week.
Andrew Quirk of Kratzert, Jones and Associates, spoke before the commission during the July 18 meeting regarding earth excavation at the site on 2304 Mount Vernon Rd. KJA is a civil engineering, land surveying, building engineering and site planning company located in Southington.
Festival Fun Parks, LLC, owner of Lake Compounce, purchased roughly eight acres of land from Briarwood Real Estate in April with the intention to expand their facility. The parcel, just south of the lake and located across from Lincoln College of New England, is on the Southington side of the park.
Situated at the intersection of Mount Vernon and Welch roads, the property is bordered to the north and west by Festival Fun Parks, but it is bordered by residential properties to the west and the south with Mount Vernon Road to the east.
“The earth excavation is proposed in three phases, with any particular phase to be less than two acres at a time,” Quirk told the commission.
With the proposed plan, all trees on the parcel’s southern and western borders would remain in place. An initial step would be creating an emergency access road from Welch Road, which Quirk said would be a better location than where the current one is.
“That provides access to the park in the event of emergencies as well as fire department access for their fireworks show that they have,” said Quirk. The road would not be paved, just as Lake Compounce’s existing emergency access is not paved.
Echoing statements after their April purchase, Lake Compounce officials said there are no definitive plans for the land at this time.
“There’s been contemplation of maybe a parking area, picnic area or possible amusement expansion but there’s nothing definitive at this time, and that’s not part of this application,” Quirk said.
The public hearing was strictly for approval of the excavation, and PZC chair Mike DelSanto said the commission has to make a decision based on that.
“Not for parking, rides, or anything else,” said the chair.
A letter of support was submitted to the PZC from Briarwood Real Estate, but over a dozen residents appeared at the meeting to submit letters and speak against the proposal. They were all residents of Mount Vernon Road and Panthorn Trail.
Most of the residents against the application spoke about well water being disrupted, the loss of privacy, and continuing noise and dust from construction projects over the years. They also questioned the need for an earth excavation when there are no plans for development and an emergency access road already exists.
Should Lake Compounce decide on use for the land and plan to move forward, it will require a public hearing before the commissioners. The hearing last week was closed, and officials voted to table the application after hearing concerns from residents before posing their own questions about the project.
DelSanto said that Lake Compounce officials and those working on the project will address the concerns.
“We believe they are going to reach out to residents,” he said.
The application will be picked up again at the Aug. 15 meeting.

I have lived as a sole proprietor for nearly two decades, not including my second-grade sticker cartel. People always say to me, "You make your living...as , um, an artist? How?"
Simple: I've been guided by angels who have helped me create a sustainable Planet SJ.
Erik Gould (photographer) Erik documented what we affectionately call "the Beast" - my 9 x 12 foot painting "Mercy43."
Todd Roufs (web guru): I refer everyone to this gentleman who now resides in Texas, so help us all. Calm, creative, comic. The best.
Katja Goldbeck-Horz (German art dealer): Angel of my life.
ArtProv Gallery (New England gallery): Michele Aucoin and Nick Paciorek do right by their artists. With cake, to boot.
Miriam Sharman: Until a series of phone calls with my brilliant cousin I thought "Operational Drag" was something you did at night club.
Marc Polish: This toilet paper tycoon taught me the difference between a contract and common sense.
Carolyn Ou: I've renamed her Rabbi Carolyn for her wisdom and human relations acumen.
My extended family, my friends, my creative soulmates, collaborators, customers, and community - may you all meet face to face one day!
Sarah Jane Lapp is an American artist. She also likes to make people laugh.
Over the last twenty-five years she has made images for stage, page, screen, and bean, producing essay-films, hand-drawn animations, short plays, jigsaw puzzles, music videos, telematic productions, anti-fascist greeting cards, and photovoltaic solar installations.
Two very funny Minnesotans spawned SJL and sent her to earn a B.A in Playwriting at Brown University before she moved even farther east as Fulbright Scholar at Filmova a Televizni Fakulta Academie Muzickych Umeni (FAMU) in Prague. She apprenticed at Studio Bratri v Triku and completed her MFA from the Department of Filmmaking at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After a brief stint in NYC typing for R.O. Blechman and Wall Street tycoons alike, Ms. Lapp spent the next eight years in Seattle, vending her drawings at Pike Place Market, contributing editorial cartoons to the Hearst daily, Seattle Post-Intelligencer (RIP!), and producing animations, primarily for social justice and arts-dedicated entities. These animations, including her collaborations “Chronicles of an Asthmatic Stripper” and “Chronicles of a Professional Eulogist” with contrabassist/composer Mark Dresser, earned SJ internationally peculiar museum and festival exhibitions, an almost-Genius Award, and numerous stalkers. Lured back East for teaching appointments at Wellesley and Harvard, Sarah Jane dropped anchor in Seekonk, MA with her partner, the musician Skyjelly. Living among turkeys, deer, and other people’s dogs Sarah Jane uses comedy and compassion to generate free and off-grid renewable energy.
