The duo have won a combined total of 121 caps for Queensland, with coach Ewen McKenzie looking to utilise them in helping develop the club's rising stars.
"It's important to have the right balance of veterans and rookies in your squad and both Greg and Van bring a wealth of experience to the group while they are still playing at a very high level," said McKenzie.
"Next year we'll encounter a longer season again with an August finish and there will be more of a burden on the playing group. Having players with this sort of experience will help us see out a potentially more gruelling campaign."
Prop Holmes made his debut against the Blues in 2005 and was an integral member for the Reds as the Reds won the Super Rugby title.
"All the hard years were tough, but this year has made it all worthwhile and I'm happy to stay in Queensland," Holmes said.
"I've never wanted to leave and if Queensland is happy to keep me, I probably never will. Winning that title in something I never thought would happen and it has made it all the sweeter.
"We've got a really good squad here and everyone is happy. There is no reason we can't win it again and everyone is itching to get out there and go again next year."
Humphries first played for the Reds in 2000 and after a brief period with the Waratahs returned to Queensland for a second time in 2004.
"It's pretty amazing to win a Super Rugby title and you always hope to play in a team that achieves that sort of success. Now we've tasted it, every player is looking forward to next year," Humphries said.
"The Reds have generated a lot of interest in Rugby, not only in Queensland but around Australia, and it's exciting for us as a group to know people will be watching us. We're really looking forward to entertaining next year.
"When I went overseas in the middle of my career, playing 50 games is something I never thought I'd ever get, but it was amazing and I'm looking forward to getting a few more next year."

Please forgive my ignorance--I as a gardener would like to know if bumblebees make honey? If so, why isn't it used or talked about. Any information would be most helpful.
Thanks Pat |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, though no more than a thimbleful at a time. For a special cell. For more info, click below - |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bumblebee facts
I was cleaning out a bird house last fall that bumblebees had nested in and found some bumblebee honey. It was surprisingly thick, and tasted like ... honey. The BBs had moved out (died?) some time before, so the honey may have been dessicated over time, and not been the same as the fresher stuff. |
All the bumblebees die in the late fall except the young queen who has mated. |
I know this is off topic, but after reading a bit on that link about bumblebees, I though I should let you know. I don't know how many people have been stung by a bumblebee, and I'm sure the experience will be somewhat different for everybody. I have been stung by one. It was stuck in my house and I guess it was so stressed that it was on the floor, probably dying, and jumped onto my bare foot and stung me on top of my little toe. Maybe it was the area, maybe I'm just a big baby, but this was my experience: At first, it just felt like a prick, nothing serious, no big deal. Then it started to hurt more.... and more... and still more. Finally, I was in such pain, that I ended up sitting on the floor holding my foot crying. I couldn't understand how it got so bad. I'm not allergic, the stinger wasn't in my toe, and the poor insect was dead. The pain was amazing. To this day, I am still surprised at the way it all happened. Sorry to be off topic, but I just thought I'd share that. |

Bumblebees do in fact make honey, it is alot harder to harvest than that of honey bees. Bumblebees usually nest in the ground and only have an average of a few hundred to a thousand bees in a colony. Therefore they don't produce as much as honey bees do. Also honey bees normally have anywhere from 6 to 20 thousand bees per colony and aren't as aggresive and are easier to harvest from than bumblebees. Less work, more product. That's why you don't hear of using bumblebee honey. I have tasted bumblebee honey, it's similar in taste and texture but has a greenish golden tint in color instead of the gold color of honey. Hope this helps. |

Just a reminder... If yo harvest honey from a bumble nest,... you are destroying a colony. Also, bumbles don't store surplus honey as honey bees do, it's there for brood only. A honeybee colony runs from around 20000 to 60000 bees. |

I do take honey bee nest appart, and I didn't say that they wouldn't sting or attack, but they are normally easy to work with if you are gentle in your actions, if you go banging around and piss them off sure they will sting the mess out of you, I guess it's with anything, you have to know what you are doing. |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Tue, Apr 26, 11 at 23:23
Yes...I do take honey from my hives, most often with shorts but not nearly as gentle as bumble bees. |

One thing I noticed is that I hardly ever see honey bees on rhododendren but the bumblebees love it, and the honey made from it is poisonous to humans |

Bumble bees ussualy nest in the ground and store their honey in wax balls. Tasted very good, although there was not much of it. In my experience there are only a hundred or less bumble bees in a hive. |

my father grew just out of st luis on a farm,he said they use to get honey from bumble bees,they would(7 brothers and 2 sisters) gather around the nest place a jug half full of water,and everyone had ping pong paddles,some one would stick a pitch fork down into the ground and pop the nest up and everyone would smack the bees until they where gone,alot would drop right into the jug,something about the sound when they flew over it attracted them. he said it was very good not alot but in thumb size cups. |

Bumblebees are harder to anger than honey bees, depending upon the species of honey bee. Some are aggressive and others not so much. One difference that I have found is the way that they sting. The honey bee or some wasps need to set itself in order to insert the stinger, while the bumblebee can fly directly into you and insert its stinger on impact. I have found that bumblebees typicly do not bother you unless they feel threatened or annoyed. Certain species of honey bee, such as the black spanish bee, will sting you for no real reason, except your proximity to them. I have recently started using mason bee blocks to attract mason bees to pollinate my fruit. Honey bees were not active enough in the early spring. |

SEMarqueeView for iOS is a super easy to use component that lets you create scrolling marquees. It is a great component with which you can create scrolling galleries, news tickers, auto-scrolling tag-lines etc.
The behavior and usage is just like you use a UITableView with delegate methods.
The items you add in a MarqueeView are cloned automatically to create an infinite scrolling effect.
No external libraries are required. Just drop the framework file in your existing project and you are good to go!
1) Drag & drop SEMarqueeView.framework to your project.
2) Add this line on top whatever view controller you want to use it on.
3) Create a SEMarqueeView object and add it as a subview.
SEMarqueeView *mView = [[SEMarqueeView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 200) andSpeed:100 andDirection:SCROLL_LEFT];
mView.delegate = self; [self.view
4) Implement delegate methods to configure content and you are done!
- (int) numberOfCellsInMarqueeView:(SEMarqueeView *)marqueeView {
return 5;
- (CGSize) marqueeView:(SEMarqueeView *)marqueeView sizeOfCellAtIndex:(int)index {
return CGSizeMake(200, 200);
- (UIView *) marqueeView:(SEMarqueeView *)marqueeView cellAtIndex:(int)index {
UIView *view = [[[UIView alloc] init] autorelease];
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
return view;
- (void) marqueeView:(SEMarqueeView *)marqueeView didSelectItemAtIndex:(int)index {
NSLog(@"tapped on cell %d", index);
Send me a mail at sarp.erdag [at] apperto.com and I will send you a demo over TestFlight.

text: With the shootings that happened in Connecticut, everyone is talking about gun control. Why can't people realize that the problem is the video games and all the junk that is allowed to be seen on TV? Let's not take away guns. Let's bring back discipline and lose the video games. Change what is allowed on TV. I see it all the time in Walmart and other places, kids being allowed to act like monsters because parents are afraid to take care of the problem because they don't want to get arrested. I'm not saying beat children, but allow some discipline to return. I don't understand why it seems to be so hard to understand what the problem really is.

Prospective fiance mulling over his choice
Tuesday, December 25, 2012
1/08/13 at 8:19 AM
Dear Amy:
I'm thinking about asking my girlfriend to marry me, but I'm not sure. We've been together for about two years but have known each other much longer. We have heavily overlapping social circles.
We get along very well most of the time, but when we do argue it tends to be about politics, about where we should live and other big-picture things. When we argue, she has a tendency to be dismissive and unyielding. I'm worried that what seem like nebulous or abstract differences will eventually become concrete and create problems.
Am I making too big a deal of these things? I'm worried about waking up (in 12 years) at 40 and realizing that I've compromised on things that were really important to me.
Can you help clarify this for me? - Vexed Boyfriend
Dear Boyfriend:
The real clues to your future challenges exist not in the nature of compromise but in how these agreements are reached. If you are consistently giving in to someone who belittles or dismisses you, then that's not compromise - that's being dominated and bullied into submission. And, yes, you would definitely regret being married to that.
To have a successful long-term relationship, you and your partner need to learn how to talk, fight, visit and revisit issues - and how to leave some things well-enough alone. Successful relationships are those in which both partners feel they share basic values and approach big-picture issues as a team.
Your intuition is a gift. Pay attention. You know that things will have to be different for your relationship to succeed. If you are contemplating having children with your girlfriend, her current attitude would make her a poor parent.
Does she want to learn to express herself differently? Does she want to be in a successful and peaceful partnership with you? If so, the journey toward change could start with a couples counselor. I highly recommend it before marriage.
Dear Amy:
I really saw myself in the letter from "Emotional" that I read in your column. Emotional said she was frequently criticized by family members for her "nasty tone."
I have often been told that I have a certain "tone." I feel I'm saying fairly neutral things, but it's not the words that seem to offend people, it's the tone. I'm not sure if I have the guts to ask my family to impersonate me on camera, the way you suggested in your answer, but the mere thought of it makes me eager to pay more attention to my own tone. - Emotional Too
Dear Too:
Tone is everything (she said through clenched teeth). I give you credit for trying to change.
Send questions via email to
or by mail to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

Dictator nationalizes Kammunarka and Spartak
12:39, — Economics
Lukashenka called for the liquidation of the supervisory boards of the both confectionaries.
The respective instruction was given in the course of a visiting meeting (at Kommunarka) on the issue of development of the confectionary industry, AFN reports.
Lukashenka reminded that he had instructed to "analyze in a most serious manner everything what had been happening at these enterprises starting from the Soviet times: how they had been privatized, whom they had gone to, how they had been valued – and take a decision in the court".
"The court took a decision. Who didn't follow the court's decision? The supervisory boards. Starting from tomorrow the supervisory boards must be liquidated", - the Belarusian ruler demanded.
"Court's decisions must be observed unconditionally, and then you have a right for an appeal", - he added.
"My decision is unambiguous, regardless of all the investors and investment climate. That is why starting from tomorrow the enterprises must operate in the same way they did before. I'm not yet talking about the share fractions, per cents, and investors – so far I'm only talking about the enterprises' management. Starting from tomorrow the heads of the enterprises make decisions single-handedly like state owned ones having forgotten that they had any supervisory board before", - Lukashenka stated.
The ruler said that a letter has been secretly put for him recently which said that the officials wanted to sell the factories at their own interests.

As RealBeanz Director of Public Relations and Social Media Jenna Burke told me in last month's Up Close With story, it can be hard for consumers to experience a product and develop a relationship with a brand if the main connection with a brand is through social media and advertising. Instead, it's the face-to-face encounters with a brand at events that really help consumers become fans, she said.
From the heart of Brooklyn, N.Y., the home of Coney Island and the Brooklyn Bridge, comes RealBeanz, a ready-to-drink gourmet iced coffee company brimming with New York pride. The self-described "up-and-coming" brand plays off of the classic, artsy Brooklyn vibe to showcase its borough spirit and connect with its "kind of young, kind of hip, and kind of fresh" consumers in the 18- to 35-year-old demographic group, says Jenna Burke, director of public relations and social media for RealBeanz.
RealBeanz expanded its line of nutrient-enhanced ready-to-drink coffees with the launch of Dark Roast Iced Coffee made with Coconut Water and Cappuccino Iced Coffee made with Coconut Water.
RealBeanz launched its line of iced coffees on a limited basis earlier this year. After receiving feedback from focus groups, RealBeanz altered its flavor, coffee and sweetness profiles, and as a result, improved approval ratings from the 60 to 70 percent range to the 80 to 90 percent approval range, the company says.

Panera Bread Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe
In a bind to find the best stuffing recipe for Thanksgiving? Check out this Panera Bread original stuffing recipe. Perfect for Thanksgiving, or any time after!
All Purpose Panera Bread Stuffing
- 3 cups of Panera Sourdough bread, cut into ½" cubes
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped celery, stalks and leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ¾ teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3-1/2 cup melted butter
Optional Additions
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup chopped water chestnuts
- ½ cup toasted sliced almonds
- ½ cup currants
- ½ cup wild rice
- ½ cup gently sautéed chopped oysters
To make the Bread Cubes, start with 1/2 loaf of leftover bread. Remove the crusts and cut the bread into 1/2" cubes until you have about 3 cups. Spread cubes out on a cutting board and allow them to dry, if possible, overnight. The next day, place the bread cubes in a large bowl. Add onion, celery, thyme, sage, pepper and your favorite secret ingredient. Toss until they are well mixed. Add the melted butter, using the larger amount if you like your stuffing very moist, and toss gently. Stuff your 3 - 4 pound chicken or turkey and roast as directed. To prepare stuffing on its own, place it in a shallow baking dish, cover with foil and bake at 350° F for 40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. If the stuffing dries out, you may wish to add a little chicken broth as it cooks.

Chosen Ministries and Rescue International to Provide Aid to Needy Children South Africa
(North Hollywood, Calif.) May 19, 2012 – Chosen Ministries and Rescue International have partnered to send a seven-person team of missionaries to Kayamandi, a township in Cape Town, South Africa to spread hope and joy to some very special children and they need the public's help.
"Between October 5th and 15th, we will be in Kayamandi to provide personal and oral hygiene products, and purchase desperately needed shoes for the children, that will help to prevent the spread of disease," says AJ Golden, pastor of Chosen Ministries in North Hollywood, California. "For the young girls, especially, proper undergarments will be supplied because they have a higher probability of getting raped in this township, than of receiving an education."
iWork for God
This year Rescue International and Chosen Ministries have partnered to reach the children of South Africa! We are planning a 2 week missions trip from October 5th to October 15th, to the township of Kayamandi, located in Cape Town, South Africa, to spread hope and joy to some very special children. While there we will work with Kuyasa Empowerment, a local NGO who is revitalizing the community through their work with the children and parents of Kayamandi.
Our goal for this mission is as follows:

Beginning March 11, the City of Tacoma will ask 37 businesses in the North and West Ends to voluntarily stop selling Hurricane High Gravity, Night Train Express and 43 other cheap, high-alcohol drinks.
If those businesses don't comply within six months, the city can then seek to make the voluntary ban mandatory.
By an 8-1 vote Tuesday, Tacoma's City Council effectively imposed the latest targeted ban on alcohol sales by establishing the new "West End Alcohol Impact Area" – the city's third zone with a special state designation that aims to curtail public drunkenness and its problems.
"Alcohol Impact Areas have been one of the most successful programs in our city," Councilwoman Lauren Walker said before the body adopted the measure.
Councilman Joe Lonergan cast the lone vote against the measure, saying that creating the new zone will only serve to push chronic public inebriates into South Tacoma – the district he represents.
"I remain very concerned about that," Lonergan said. "... I believe AIAs work; I know we've got the evidence for that. But I don't think I can support this tonight."
The newly created West End zone becomes the city's largest AIA geographically. The area roughly stretches from Cedar and Alder streets and Commencement Bay on the east to The Narrows on the west; and from 19th and Center streets at the south to Point Defiance at the north.
With the measure's adoption, the city will begin asking and aiding businesses within the zone to stop selling fortified wines, malt liquor and other specified products.
The measure also tasks Tacoma police to study the ban's impacts and report back to the council by Aug. 31. If data show the program isn't working or businesses aren't complying with the voluntary ban, the city could then seek a mandatory designation from the state's liquor control board.
Studies have shown the city's two other AIAs – the Urban Core AIA covering parts of the Hilltop and downtown, and the Lincoln District AIA in parts of the East Side and South End – have drastically decreased alcohol-related emergency calls, detoxification admissions and public drinking reports.
After those AIAs effectively pushed public street drunks into the West End, neighborhood, school and other groups asked the city to designate a new West End AIA.
Several council members echoed Lonergan's concerns that the new AIA likely will displace drunks into South Tacoma and other parts of the city not covered by bans on alcohol sales. Councilman Marty Campbell also noted the newest zone is sprawling and far less targeted than Tacoma's other two AIAs.
Nonetheless, the council adopted the measure – in part "to respect the work that citizens have done to date" to impose the new ban, Councilwoman Victoria Woodards said.
Michael Transue, executive director of the Washington Beer and Wine Distributors Association, asked the council to forego the vote while his group worked with retail businesses, the city and citizens on an alternative plan to voluntarily prohibit stores from selling three or fewer banned products to a customer between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m.
While the state prohibits citywide AIAs, the distributors' proposal could be enacted across Tacoma and into other jurisdictions as a more regional solution that's more effective than an outright ban in a defined AIA that "penalizes legitimate retailers and consumers," Transue said.
But council supporters of the West End AIA said its approval won't preclude the city from working with distributors on a better plan.
"Coming up with a comprehensive solution can still happen, even if the ban passes tonight," Mayor Marilyn Strickland said.

Seagate 7200.11 owners, BEWARE of the new firmware
Argh!! What a *nightmare*. After the mass of Seagate 7200.11 failures worldwide and many heated complaints directed at the company for it, despite Seagate having responded by releasing a supposed firmware fix and free data recovery processes (should it be required), apparently many users are reporting this firmware 'fix' is actually KILLING drives that were previously still working fine; this directly after a successful update.
Some users have reported in Seagate's forums that they were able to flash back to the original (offending) AD14 firmware and regain access to all their data, but others haven't been so fortunate! - Looks like Seagate will be busy with their free data recovery service.
More info here.

Entertainment is mostly confined to the bars and restaurants along the waterfront in Old Bank [1]. Roots Bar and Restaurant (no phone, 11:30 A.M.–9:30 P.M. Wed.–Mon.) is a friendly place to hang out. Cantina La Feria draws partiers, both local and visiting, from all over Bocas for its "Blue Monday" dance parties. This place has all the rough Caribbean character one could want. It's a basic cantina over the water that serves seco (a sugarcane liquor) and beer at locals-friendly prices.
The scene can be kind of intimidating at first, especially when the cops come around checking IDs and busting locals for mysterious reasons, but the vibe is generally low-key. Use common sense, go with a group, and be respectful, just as you would at any hard-drinking place back home. And bring earplugs.
Notable annual events, and excuses for a party, in Old Bank include Palo de Mayo, a Maypole dance on May 1 that's also held in Bocas town, and Founding Day on November 23.
The place to be on New Year's Eve is the Al Natural Resort [2], which throws an all-night New Year's Eve beach party. For a quite reasonable price, the staff provides boat transportation, refreshments, and DJs who are flown down from overseas for the occasion. Everyone eventually crashes wherever he or she likes.

[HD Video] Flying in the USAHi everyone,
This is my new video of a trip with a friend who made his time building in the USA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncVb3HHqQW0 I hope you'll enjoy these awesome landscapes!
Re: [HD Video] Flying in the USAnice video , I learned to fly at EIKN , based in NYC now ,
heres a sample of where I fly on long island http://youtu.be/sa5DEs-l0mU
Re: [HD Video] Flying in the USAHey guys,
Great videos, I'm thinking of doing a trip very similar to Killianaeros, flying out to LAX in December and thinking of hiring a plane for a week either from LA or San Fran. Just wondering where you rented from and if you've any tips for the trip. I was thinking of Lake Tahoe as a possible destination and from there on into Las Vegas, maybe coming back around the south via Death Valley. In a 172 or PA28 most likely. Thanks in advance
Re: [HD Video] Flying in the USAI live here and hold a US PPL , as a renter you will probably have to do a checkout on the aircraft you intened to hire , basically its like a flight test with the CFI of the rentel place . you may need renters insurance , AOPA can help , and after that it depends if the rental rates are "wet" , fuel in california is probably expensive because everyone flies . After all that is just the flying , most of the airspace is well marked on charts and out west , theres probably tons of small non-towered airports where you can land at .. enjoy the trip .!!!
Re: [HD Video] Flying in the USAHey Aidoair,
Thanks for that yeah was expecting a checkride alright. I understand you have the FAA license but have you any ideas how the Foreign license verification system works, I've just sent off the Verification of Authenticity of Foreign License form. Is it just a matter of going to the FSDO, LAX in my case, when I get out there, fill out some forms and pay a fee? I guess after crashing this thread I'll have to get a gopro and film the trip
Re: [HD Video] Flying in the USASorry I dont know how the license verification system works but i,m sure theres paprework by the mile !!! .
I did fly here on the Irish License way back in 1997 (pre 9-11) and the FAA issued me with a temp license based on my irish one . Basically I could log hours as Pilot in command under supervision , I couldnt fly solo but could log hours no problem . I,m sure now in this day and age theres TSA background checks and fingerprints and passports and all that stuff . The good thing about the FAA is that most if not all the dealings with them is online so it makes the process a little quicker . Get the Nflightcam + , way better that the GoPro in my opinion , I,ve 3 of them to date .! enjoy the freedome of the USA skies , you may never go back .!!!!

This Dinner Party? It was a CAKEWALK!
I have dinner party phobia. Any event involving food sends me into conniption fits. I know from the moment I start pulling down pots and pans it's going to SUCK. No one will come. If they do, the food will taste like cat litter. People will get sick, or give me a look that says, "You're kidding, right?" Planning an event gets my heart racing, my hands clammy. The very thought of creating an invite list fills me with dread. It's a lot like anticipating a root canal.
Last Christmas was supposed to be simple–just brunch with the family. All I had to do was fry eggs and make sure the house was clean. Two hours before the party? I was crumpled on the bathroom floor, paralyzed with anxiety. When my family arrived they found me wrapped in my bathrobe, flat on the couch. I faked flu. I guess it wasn't ALL faking. I really was sick. Dinner party plague.
In another fiesta fiasco, I spent weeks planning a barbecue, buying multicolored pitchers for sangria, festive tablecloths, party bowls. Everything was perfect to the last DETAIL. Two people showed up. I freaked out, inconsolable. Why did I even bother? No one showed because they knew the food would suck. They knew the party would suck. Hell, I sucked.
Why the anxiety? Momma was Martha Stewart before one existed. Growing up in the 1950's and majoring in Home Economics (yeah you heard right) gave her a step up onto the Betty Draper platform of housewifery. Dinners were elaborate affairs served by candlelight, much to the chagrin of my Dad, who always complained he couldn't see a damn thing he was eating.
Momma experimented with exotic food when all you could buy at your local A&P was LaChoy. It's no wonder when your Mom is making Baked Alaska from scratch on a Thursday and your friends are eating Nilla wafers for dessert you get it in your head food is an EVENT. Lighting, music, linens, all of it is of the utmost importance. One detail left out can RUIN an entire meal. No wonder I become apoplectic at the thought of planning dinner parties. Who wouldn't?
Nevertheless, when my friend Melissa Brown asked me to host a party, I couldn't say no. She's a single mother of 3. Her youngest, Saralene, has CHARGE Syndrome, so her medical bills are astronomical. Melissa wanted to earn extra cash by having a jewelry trunk show. Could I host it? I knew I had to try. I needed a game plan. And some help.
Now there are two components to a dinner party: the dinner, and the party. I had to decide which fear to face. Maybe by focusing on just one I could avoid a straitjacket. Since the ultimate goal was to help Melissa, I decided to get as many people there as possible, ply them with luxurious food and drink, and let the chips fall where they may.
Having it at home was out. We live WAY out in the sticks. The chances of having everyone head to Hicksville for a shindig were slim and none. But, there was a cute jeans boutique in town. I spoke with Laura Van Camp, owner of jean theory, who immediately agreed to host this private event after hours.
Since Laura's boutique is downtown, I picked Saturday from 5:30-7:30pm. We would hit ladies headed home after daytime errands, as well as ladies headed out for dinner. Keep it casual. Keep it light. Drop in when you can.
I needed a catchy theme, something girly. Thus was born "Baubles & Britches!" I called up Amy Eastlack, Empress-At-Large of SuzySaid Cville, a terrific resource for local ladies. She agreed to help organize. I was ecstatic. With her help, there was no way this party would suck. We created an evite, a Facebook event, every angle we could think of. As I already knew, there's NOTHING worse than no one showing up.
Instead of choosing traditional dinner items, which might end up a major wardrobe malfunction, we chose a champagne tasting with luxurious cupcakes. A dessert party of ultra-girly indulgence. Since the venue was a local business, I'd keep the focus local for the menu as well.
I asked Cappellino's Crazy Cakes to create gourmet cupcakes. They agreed, even giving me a discount when they heard the party's purpose. Additionally, their fondant designer Tracy Remington said she'd create designer jean pockets and tiny fondant jewelry to embed in the cupcake icing. Baubles AND britches!
Pair that with fresh fruit from Relay Foods and local sparkling wine and suddenly, this party seemed like it might not be tragic. I actually got a little excited.
I'd be nervously circulating, pouring drinks and attempting small talk, so I begged my professional photographer friend Jacque Bentley to snap some photos. To my relief, she agreed. I took a deep breath. On party day, despite feeling nauseous, I showed up. Not in a bathrobe.
The party was awesome. Thirty ladies bought jewelry, tried on jeans, and made new friends. I saw women dropping raspberries into their champagne and total strangers bonding while trying on jeans. I knew we'd done okay. Never has sipping champagne and trying on clothes felt so good. I helped out a wonderful friend, and conquered my fear a tiny bit in the process.
I couldn't have done this without Jacque, Amy, Laura, Heidi (my cheerleader), and of course, Melissa. I remain forever grateful. Without them and the generosity of local businesses, I'd still be a party-phobe. I learned it's okay to delegate. You do NOT have to do it all. Contrary to popular belief, there is no Martha Stewart judge hovering over you with a report card.
With one successful party under my belt, I MAY just be able to tackle another someday. Heck, with enough champagne in me I can do almost anything...

Love the name of your event! 8-)
I can so relate to your experiences with hosting dinner parties. My mother was also a "hostess with the mostest" and such a tough act to follow. Similarly, I once attempted to throw a dinner party, sending out invites about 2 1/2 weeks before; no one could come. I was crushed; it felt like a personal rejection.
As much as I daydream about throwing a dinner party, I don't know if I could handle the stress. But I love ATTENDING these parties! Congratulations on your advancement in Project Food Blog - just voted! - October 5, 2010 at 11:56 AM

I am nursing slightly bruised ego muscles because I didn't advance, either. But, the more I see of the folks that didn't move on, the less bad I feel. Some absolutely stellar posts, yours included, didn't make it through. So, at least I got kicked off the Project Food Blog train with a bunch of witty, creative, interesting folks. Wanna caramel apple? I'm sharing!

UNDER a breaking blue-green wave, a new direction in local bus travel was launched on Friday.
Sapphire Coast Buslines, based at South Pambula, is the new look and name for what was previously Deane's Bus Service South Coast.
Helping owners Jamie and Anton Klemm officially launch their new-look, rebranded school bus and coach service was Member for Bega Andrew Constance.
Also in attendance were Bega Valley Shire Mayor Bill Taylor, John Aveyard from the Mumbulla Foundation and officials from BusNSW among many other supportive business and community representatives.
Former Tathra Bus Service owners John and Janny Daly, as well as their general manager for the past 10 years Paul Pincini, also joined in the celebration – and were particularly acknowledged by Ms Klemm during her speech.
"We are very grateful John and Janny have enabled us to move into the Tathra and Bega area," Ms Klemm said.
"And we wish them all the best and success for the future."
It has been a busy couple of months for the Klemms.
The official rebranding to Sapphire Coast Buslines - with associated livery for their fleet of 40 buses - comes on the back of the sale of Tathra Bus Service to their family company, Deane's Bus Lines South Coast, and then the sale of Deane's' Queanbeyan-based business necessitating the name change.
The Klemms were particularly keen to strengthen their ties to the local community and believed the new name reflected that commitment.
"Sapphire Coast is the way the community is trying to present itself to bring tourism into the region - having the bus company with that same brand seemed fitting," Ms Klemm said.
In officially welcoming the announcement, Mr Constance acknowledged the Klemms' "key provision" of community services.
"It's a fantastic story that Jamie and Anton have come to this area to take on a business challenge and have made it grow," he said.
"It also please me no end to see Jamie involved in a whole raft of community events and disability services right across the community."
Mr Constance also praised their "leadership and innovation" adding they were a "great employer for our region".
"Like many in country towns, Jamie and Anton provide more than just a bus service," he said.
"Their drivers do a wonderful job of protecting the welfare of our children and I'd particularly like to acknowledge the staff - Jamie and Anton are blessed in that regard."
Tathra couple farewell business
FORMER Tathra Bus Service owners John and Janny Daly were in attendance to help launch Sapphire Coast Buslines on Friday.
The new-look school bus and tourist coach service is the rebranded Deane's Buses – the company that only recently bought the Dalys' service, an institution in local school routes for the past 31 years.
Janny recalled a small company with three school buses over 30 years ago growing into the fleet of nine they sold to the Klemms recently.
Janny was a teacher as well as bus driver, working in the library at St Patrick's for around 25 years.
She would drive the children to school, park the bus in Belmore St and head inside along with the pupils.
Eventually she was driving – and teaching – the kids of those first schoolchildren.
"I loved it, I loved doing it," Janny said.
"We will miss it madly - for a time.
"I'll miss the kids.
"It has been a lovely time, but it's time for the younger ones to move in and take up the responsibility."
As for the Dalys, they plan on keeping busy with their beef cattle "hobby farm" said John, and according to Janny are planning to continue their travelling ways – overseas rather than on local buses though.

RIP Andy Griffith, 1926-2012
I grew up laughing at the antics in Mayberry, but Andy Griffith was probably at his best in this almost-film-noir directed by Elia Kazan. Engaging, sinister and brilliantly prescient, A Face in the Crowd shows that Andy Griffith's range as an actor was never really utilized on TV.
In 1957, a demagogic entertainer was considered remarkable. Today, Lonesome Rhodes would have his own cable news show.

Research reactors comprise a wide range of civil and commercial nuclear reactors that are generally not used for power generation. The primary purpose of research reactors is to provide a neutron source for research and other purposes. Their output (neutron beams) can have different characteristics depending on use. They are small relative to power reactors whose primary function is to produce heat to make electricity. Their power is designated in megawatts (or kilowatts) thermal (MWth or MWt), but here we will use simply MW (or kW). Most range up to 100 MW, compared with 3000 MW (i.e., 1000 MWe) for a typical power reactor. In fact the total power of the world's 283 research reactors is little over 3000 MW.
Research reactors are simpler than power reactors and operate at lower temperatures. They need far less fuel, and far less fission products build up as the fuel is used. On the other hand, their fuel requires more highly enriched uranium, typically up to 20% uranium-235 (235U), although some older ones use 93% 235U. They also have a very high power density in the core, which requires special design features. Like power reactors, the core needs cooling, and usually a moderator is required to slow down the neutrons and enhance fission. As neutron production is their main function, most research reactors also need a reflector to reduce neutron loss from the core.
Types of research reactors
There is a much wider array of designs in use for research reactors than for nuclear power reactors, where 80% of the world's plants are of just two similar types. They also have different operating modes, producing energy that may be steady or pulsed.
A common design (67 units) is the pool type reactor, where the core is a cluster of fuel elements sitting in a large pool of water. Among the fuel elements are control rods and empty channels for experimental materials. Each element comprises several (e.g., 18) curved aluminium-clad fuel plates in a vertical box. The water both moderates and cools the reactor, and graphite or beryllium is generally used for the reflector, although other materials may also be used. Apertures to access the neutron beams are set in the wall of the pool. Tank type research reactors (32 units) are similar, except that cooling is more active.
The TRIGA reactor is another common design (40 units). The core consists of 60-100 cylindrical fuel elements about 36 mm diameter with aluminium cladding enclosing a mixture of uranium fuel and a zirconium hydride moderator. It sits in a pool of water and generally uses graphite or beryllium as a reflector. This kind of reactor can safely be pulsed to very high power levels (e.g., 25,000 MW) for fractions of a second. Its fuel gives the TRIGA a very strong negative temperature coefficient, and the rapid increase in power is quickly cut short by a negative reactivity effect of the hydride moderator.
Other designs are moderated by heavy water (12 units) or graphite. A few are fast reactors that require no moderator and can use a mixture of uranium and plutonium as fuel. Homogenous type reactors have a core comprising a solution of uranium salts as a liquid, contained in a tank about 300 mm diameter. The simple design made them popular early on, but only five are now operating.
Research reactors have a wide range of uses, including analysis and testing of materials, and production of radioisotopes. Their capabilities are applied in many fields within the nuclear industry as well as in fusion research, environmental science, advanced materials development, drug design and nuclear medicine.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) lists several categories of broadly classified research reactors. They include 60 critical assemblies (usually zero power), 23 test reactors, 37 training facilities, two prototypes and even one producing electricity. But most (160) are largely for research, although some may also produce radioisotopes. As expensive scientific facilities, they tend to be multi-purpose, and many have been operating for more than 30 years.
Russia has the most research reactors (62), followed by USA (54), Japan (18), France (15), Germany (14) and China (13). Many small and developing countries also have research reactors, including Bangladesh, Algeria, Colombia, Ghana, Jamaica, Libya, Thailand and Vietnam. About 20 more reactors are planned or under construction, and 361 have been shut down or decommissioned, about half of these in USA. Many research reactors were built in the 1960s and 1970s. The peak number operating was in 1975, with 373 in 55 countries.
Neutron beams are uniquely suited to studying the structure and dynamics of materials at the atomic level. Neutron scattering is used to examine samples under different conditions such as variations in vacuum pressure, high temperature, low temperature and magnetic field, essentially under real-world conditions.
Using neutron activation analysis, it is possible to measure minute quantities of an element. Atoms in a sample are made radioactive by exposure to neutrons in a reactor. The characteristic radiation each element emits can then be detected.
Neutron activation is also used to produce the radioisotopes, widely used in industry and medicine, by bombarding particular elements with neutrons. For example, yttrium-90 microspheres to treat liver cancer are produced by bombarding yttrium-89 with neutrons. The most widely used isotope in nuclear medicine is technetium-99, a decay product of molybdenum-99. It is produced by irradiating uranium-235 foil with neutrons and then separating the molybdenum from the other fission products in a hot cell.
Research reactors can also be used for industrial processing. Neutron transmutation doping makes silicon crystals more electrically conductive for use in electronic components. In test reactors, materials are subject to intense neutron irradiation to study changes. For instance, some steels become brittle, and alloys which resist embrittlement must be used in nuclear reactors.
Like nuclear power reactors, research reactors are covered by IAEA safety inspections and safeguards, because of their potential for making nuclear weapons. India's 1974 explosion was the result of plutonium production in a large, but internationally unsupervised, research reactor.
Fuel assemblies are typically plates or cylinders of uranium-aluminium alloy (U-Al) clad with pure aluminium. They are different from the ceramic UO2 pellets enclosed in zircaloy cladding used in power reactors. Only a few kilograms of uranium are needed to fuel a research reactor, albeit more highly enriched (compared with perhaps a hundred tonnes in a power reactor).
Highly-enriched uranium (HEU - >20% uranium-235 (235U)) allowed more compact cores, with high neutron fluxes and longer times between refuelling. Therefore, many reactors up to the 1970s used it, and in 2004 more than 60 civilian research reactors still did so.
Since the early 1970s, security concerns have grown, especially since many research reactors are located at universities and other civilian locations with much lower security than military weapons establishments where much larger quantities of HEU exist. Since 1978, only one reactor, the FRM-II at Garching in Germany, has been built with HEU fuel, while 21 have been commissioned on LEU fuel in 16 countries.
The question of enrichment was a major focus of the UN-sponsored International Nuclear Fuel Cycle Evaluation in 1980. It concluded that to guard against weapons proliferation from the HEU fuels then commonly used in research reactors, enrichment should be reduced to no more than 20% 235U. This followed a similar initiative by the USA in 1978 when its program for Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors (RERTR) was launched.
Most research reactors using HEU fuel were supplied by the USA and Russia, hence efforts to deal with the problem are largely their initiative. The RERTR program concentrates on reactors over 1 MW, which have significant fuel requirements.
These programs have led to the development and qualification of new, high-density, low enriched uranium (LEU) fuels. The original fuel density was about 1.3-1.7 g/cm3 uranium. Lowering the enrichment meant that the density had to be increased. Initially this was to 2.3-3.2 g/cm3 with existing uranium-aluminum fuel types.
To late 2004, 38 research reactors (11 in USA) either have been or are being converted to low-enriched uranium silicide fuel, and another 36 are convertible using present fuels. 31 more, mostly Russian designs, need higher-density fuels not yet available. The goal is to convert 105 reactors by 2013. Some other HEU reactors are expected to close down by then. US exports of HEU declined from 700 kg/yr in the mid-1970s to almost zero by 1993.
The Soviet Union made similar efforts from 1978, and produced fuel of 2.5 g/cm3 with enrichment reduced from 90 to 36%. It largely stopped exports of 90% enriched fuel in the 1980s. However, no Russian research reactor has yet been converted to LEU.
The first generation of new LEU fuels used uranium (U) and silicon (Si) (U3Si2-Al—uranium silicide dispersed in aluminium), at 4.8 g/cm3. There have been successful tests with denser U3Si-Al fuel plates up to 6.1 g/cm3, but US development of these silicide fuels ceased in 1989 and did not recommence until 1996.
An international effort is underway to develop, qualify and license a high density fuel based on uranium-molybdenum (U-Mo) alloy dispersed in aluminium, with a density of 6-8g/cm3. The principal organizations involved are the US RERTR program at Argonne National laboratory (ANL) since 1996, the French U-Mo Group (CEA, CERCA, COGEMA, Framatome-ANP and Technicatome) since 1999 and the Argentine Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA) since 2000. This development work has been undertaken to provide fuels that can extend the use of LEU to those reactors requiring higher densities than available in silicide dispersions and to provide a fuel that can be more easily reprocessed than the silicide type. Approval of this fuel was expected in 2006 but tests since 2003 have failed to confirm performance due to unstable swelling under high irradiation, and the target is now 2010.
In Russia, a parallel Russian RERTR program funded by the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy (MINATOM) and the US RERTR program has been working since 1999 to develop U-Mo dispersion fuel with a density of 2-6 g/cm3 for use in Russian-designed research and test reactors. However, this too has not fulfilled expectations.
In a further stage of U-Mo fuel development that has now become the main priority, ANL, CEA and CNEA are testing U-Mo fuel in a monolithic form, instead of a dispersion of U-Mo in aluminium. The uranium density is 15.6 g/cm3 and this would enable every research reactor in the world to convert from HEU to LEU fuel without loss of performance. The target date for availability is 2010.
All fuel is aluminium-clad.
Spent fuel
U-Al fuels can be reprocessed by Cogema in France, and U-Mo fuels may also be reprocessed there. U-Si and TRIGA fuels are not readily reprocessed in conventional facilities. However, at least one commercial operator has confirmed that U-Si fuels may be reprocessed in existing plants if diluted with appropriate quantities of other fuels, such as U-Al.
To answer concerns about interim storage of spent research fuel around the world, the USA launched a program to take back US-origin spent fuel for disposal and nearly half a tonne of uranium-235 from such HEU fuel has been returned. By the time the program was to end with fuel discharged in 2006, U-Mo fuel was expected to be available. Due to the slippage in target date, the US take-back program has now been extended by ten years.
Disposal of high-enriched or even 20% enriched fuel needs to address problems of criticality and requires the use of neutron absorbers or diluting or spreading it out in some way.
In Russia, a parallel trilateral program involving IAEA and the USA is intended to move 2 tonnes of HEU and 2.5 tonnes of LEU spent fuel to the Mayak reprocessing complex near Chelyabinsk over the ten years to 2012. This Russian Research Reactor Fuel Return Program (RRR FRP) envisages 38 shipments (of both fresh and spent fuel) from ten countries over 2005-08, then 8+ shipments from six countries to remove all HEU fuel discharged before reactors are converted to LEU or shut down. Seventeen countries have Soviet-supplied research reactors, and there are 25 such reactors outside Russia, 15 of them still operational. Since Libya joined the program in 2004, only North Korea objects to it.
