I just talked to Author Howland Blackiston no more than 190 minutes ago and he informed me that MANY MEMBERS participated and one member's photo will be in the covetted CENTER COLOR PHOTO SECTION - a great place to want to be.
I hope that person comes foreward or PMS me to keep it a secret (unless everyone knows but me - lol) a FEMALE in the forum is a Color Centerfold!!! Ummmm Color Centerfold :)
My old COVER Image will now be in the CENTER COLOR ALSO along with 5 other images I think. I wish Howland GREAT SUCESS for he has extessively update the book over the 2001 version. Everything new is in there I assume or at least the over all book has added a lot of info that is more up to date then the 2001 original version. Just a suggestion, I'm sure after talking here for neearly an hour on the book an other things - he really likes the forum, just a bit intimidated by the forums learning curve.
Oh, we will see Beemaster.com in the book with a NICE intro by Howland concerning our site! Just some cool news. So whoever got the centerfold section, congratulations - I'll know today who it is, I just haven't heard yet :)
-
When will the book be released?
Joan in KY

Congratulations Miss!

C'mon,..who is it???
your friend,
john

Awe, come on!!! Who is it? I think John said it was female. Now there isn't that many females in our forum, it was not me. I didn't submit any photos to him. Personally, I cannot stand suspense, so let's get this cat out of the bag, hee, hee!!! Have a wonderful, awesome life and day, health. CIndi
-
Howland hasn't qrote me back, but it is a woman and she will have a CENTERFOLD COLOR SECTION placement for her image.
I'm pleased that WHEREVER it says John Clayton it also says BEEMASTER.COM there too :)
I ended with 5 photos all from the first edition - the new cover is suppose to be a generic shot, in my world - seems like a "Typical" shot chosen by the pubishers.
I swear that is all I know :-*
-
Well darn it isn't me either so I am curious also who it is. But I did contribute many suggestions to Howland and he wrote back to me and said many of my suggestions made it into his new book. That was wonderful to hear that. Can't wait for the new book.
-
Hmmm, that leaves Ann, Kathy or Sharon.. :? Someone spill it, inquiring minds want to know! J
-
Not I!
-
I'm thinking it's Sharon and she probably wooed him with some vegan egg nog.
...JP
-
Heck, i want to see the pictures,, lol as well as congratulate the winner.
-
Maybe its one of the guys that used a fake name, so as not to be known????
You never know??
F
-
not i. you have seen my pictures!! ;)
-
Oh, this suspense is killing me.....WHO IS IT? COME FORWARD, if you dare, hee, hee. Have that beautiful, most awesomely great day, health. Cindi

F
MAYBE THEIR NAME IS "PAT!" OR "Sandy" or one of those androgenous names.....
-
Ok ,so jimmy can be either a girl or boy's name . Hehe. Maybe I'm a cross dresser also. My old copy of Bees for Dummies is getting ragged. :evil:
I'm with you Cindi ,inquireing minds want to know. Those pictures of you working the bees ,sleeveless (in a tank top) is probaly the winner.
Let the cat out of the bag Cindi !!! :? Have a good bee day. :)
-
JP or Johnny displaying the sensitive side??? :? :shock: :evil: :-* J

Maybe Understudy using an pseudofem.

I know how to keep a secret.
...JP
-
Ok,...I confess...its ME!
your friend,
john..................................(Kiddin') :)
-
Well who ever it is congrats. Its great that it was a member from the forums.
-
I'm thinking since Sharon is studiously ignoring this thread that it must be her pictures being used :evil:
-
That was my guess to. They probably got her on lock down :-D
-
EEKS!!! WHO IS IT?????? Cindi
-
hMMM,...sOMETHING IS ODD HERE....WHY WOULDNT ANYBODY WANT TO TELL US IF THEY GOT THEIR picture in a book?..I WOULD tell you guys if it really was me...Then I would post my address so yall could send me cards saying, "Congratulations!".
I got some pictures I took years ago of dinosaur bones published in a paleantology book. I dont know what the name of the book was because I took the pictures for my friend, Tex...I saw them and I saw my name...I cant believe I didnt ask for a copy!...oh well....

Face it Johnny You'd be bragging in every post you made. :-D But I think nothing has been said due to a prior to publication release restriction agreement.
-
Oh Crud...take me out of the loop, because I was a day late and a dollar short. I didn't even enter one photo...who might it bee???
Tillie??? Cindi??? hhhhmmmm
-

That had crossed my mind. Cindi is my guess. Anyone starting a pool for this?
-
I'm thinking LindT from Georgia. Everything she does has been exceptional....
The winner is obviously enjoying their all expenses paid trip to an exotic isle as the winner!!!
-
I'm thinking LindT from Georgia. Everything she does has been exceptional....
That's a good guess too. She had slipped off my radar and does a lot of camera work on her blog.
-
Wow, I did not even think of Linda/Tillie. I hope it is her. Can't wait to find out.
-
I think that Brian B. is right, it is a release restriction, awaiting until the book is published. There are lots of stupid loophills in laws.
BTW. It was not me, I didn't enter any pictures to Howland for his picture choice for his book. The mystery thickens, now, who sent their pictures to Howland? (female, they say, hee, hee). Beautiful day, greatest of life, health. Cindi
-
I'm bumping this until the winner makes themselves known..... I think BB is correct.
-
bump, bump. Cindi

I will very gladly buy the book - I just don't want to wait until the release date. Inquiring minds want to know.

A big congratulations to whoever it was. Give yourself a pat on the back.
-
Congratulations to the ladies !!!!!!!!
-
I'm complimented that anyone would think it was me, but I didn't even know about the contest, much less enter it! Can't wait to find out who it is - wonder if it is Becky from Colorado - her pictures are BEAUTIFUL (http://beesandblooms.blogspot.com/) (2wheeler, I think is her name on this forum.)
Linda T in Atlanta
-
Sheesh...I thought we had guessed the winner for sure.
-
tillie, did you get snow? wonder if JP did?
-
Linda, I looked at Becky's site, I am going to look more at it when I have a bit of time.
2-Wheeler on this forum is David Broberg. From Boulder, Colorado. I see that he is a contributor to her site, so I am imagining that he is her Husband. He is the active member of our forum, while she is the blog keeper. Don't know how else to say it. That is very cool though, Husband and Wife, like Woodchopper and Rienbeau. Get a kick out of that, and love it. Has Becky ever posted on our forum? She probably has, but I just haven't noticed, you are very observant. Have that most wonderful, great and awesome day, Cindi

Wow, JP, our roads can be pretty bad, especially after the first snow of the season, I can't imagine what it must have been like down there for you guys!

BUMP-keeping this on the front burner til we know!
I wonder if a moderator would be so kind as to sticky this thread for the time being?
