The decades-old dogma that the acid-forming quality of animal protein leads to bone loss has been called into question.
Images thanks to Devlin Thompson, Hooloovoo via Flickr, Petwoe and BruceBlaus via Wikimedia Commons and diy.org.
For most of the last century, a prevailing theory within the field of nutrition was that by eating acid-forming foods such as meat we were, in essence, at risk of peeing our bones down the toilet. And no wonder! Experiments dating back to 1920 showed over and over that if you add meat to the diet you get a big spike in the amount of calcium being lost in the urine.
And this made total sense. We had known since 1912 that meat was acid-forming within the body, and how do you buffer acid? What are in antacid pills, anti-acid pills like tums? Calcium.
Meat and eggs have a lot of sulphur-containing amino acids, 2-5 times more than grains and beans) that are metabolized into sulphuric acid, which the body buffers with calcium. That's why the antacids like Tums are made out of calcium, calcium compounds can buffer acid. And where is calcium stored in the body? The skeleton. So the thinking was that every time we ate a steak our body would pull calcium from our bones, bit by bit, and over time this could lead to osteoporosis. Based on 26 such studies, for every 40 grams of protein we add to our daily diet we pee out an extra 50mg of calcium. And look, we only have about 2 pounds of calcium in our skeleton, so the loss of 50 a day would mean losing close to 2% of our bone calcium every year. By the end of the 20th century, there was little doubt that acid-forming diets would dissolve our bones away.
But if you actually look at all the studies done on protein intake and bone health, that's not what you find. So, where's the flaw in our logic? Meat leads to acid, which leads to calcium loss, which leads to bone loss, right?
Well, it's uncontroversial that protein results in greater calcium excretion, but we've just been assuming it's coming from the bone—I mean where else could the extra calcium dumped in our urine be coming from but from our bones?
This is the study that appeared to solve the mystery. An intrepid group of researchers tried feeding a group of volunteers radioactive calcium and then put them on a high protein diet. What happens when you put people on a high protein diet? The amount of calcium in their urine shoots up, and indeed that's just what happened. But here's the big question, was that extra calcium in their urine radioactive or not, and to everyone's surprise? It was radioactive. Meaning, that the excess calcium in their urine was coming from their diet—remember they were feeding them radioactive calcium. So the excess calcium in their urine wasn't coming from their bones, but from what they were eating.
What seemed to be happening is that the excess protein consumption boosted calcium absorption, from down around 19% up to 26%. So all of a sudden there was all this extra calcium in the blood so presumably the kidneys are like "whoa what are we going to do with it all?" So they dump it into the urine. 90% of the extra calcium in the urine after eating a steak doesn't appear to be coming from our bones but from our diet. We're not sure why protein boosts calcium absorption. Maybe the protein increases the solubility of calcium by stimulating stomach acid production? Whatever the reason, yes, more calcium lost, but more calcium gained such that in the end most of that extra calcium is accounted for. So in effect more calcium is lost in the urine stream, but may be compensated by less loss of calcium through the fecal stream.
This was repeated with even more extreme diets— an acid-forming five burgers a day worth of animal protein diet that limited fruits and vegetables versus an alkaline diet emphasizing fruits and vegetables. More calcium in the urine on burgers, but significantly greater calcium absorption such that at the end it was pretty much a wash.
Other studies have also since supported this interpretation. Here's an ingenious one. Feed people a high animal protein diet, but with an alkali salt to neutralize the acid. The old thinking would predict that then there would be no calcium loss since there is no excess acid to buffer, but no, even though the acid load was neutralized there was still the excess urinary calcium, consistent with the radioactive isotope study, "challenging the long-standing dogma that animal protein consumption results in an acidosis that promotes the increased excretion of calcium….
So if our body isn't buffering the acid formed from our diet with our bones, how is it neutralizing the acid? Maybe with our muscles--alkaline diets may protect our muscle mass—all covered in my next video, entitled Testing Your Diet with Pee and Purple Cabbage—stay tuned !
To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring, watch the above video. This is just an approximation of the audio contributed by Ariel Levitsky.
To help out on the site please email email@example.com.
Note the boost in calcium absorption described in the video can only compensate if you're taking enough in. For example, dietary acid load may be associated with lower bone mineral density in those getting under 800mg a day.
I previously touched on this topic in my video Is Protein Bad to the Bone? But I promised I'd take a deeper dive, and here it is! If there are other topics you'd like me to cover in greater depth please note them below in the comment section.
Plant Protein is Preferable to animal protein for a variety of reasons (tends to have less methionine, is less IGF-1 promoting, etc.), but it's not clear how much of an advantage it has when it comes to bone health.
Note to chemistry geeks: of course it's the calcium salt anions that really do the buffering (carbonate in Tums and phosphate in bones), but I'm trying my best to simplify for a largely lay audience! Get ready for some kitchen chemistry (actually bathroom chemistry!) in my next video Testing Your Diet with Pee & Purple Cabbage.

Thread: Congress to hear from ex-players
Congress to hear from ex-players
[size=13pt]Congress to hear from ex-players[/size]
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Congress will hear testimony June 26 from retired NFL players who contend the pension plan of the league and union is insufficient, especially for disabled ex-players.
"The NFL is a billion-dollar industry, and yet the players who built the league are too often left to fend for themselves," Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., chairwoman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and administrative law, said in a statement announcing the hearings.
The hearings are the latest development in a yearlong dispute between a group of retired players and Gene Upshaw, executive director of the NFL Players Association.
The latest flare-up came this week when Joe DeLamielleure, like Upshaw a Hall of Fame guard, said he took literally a newspaper quote from Upshaw that he'd like to "break his damn neck." DeLamielleure said he feared for his and his family's safety.
Upshaw had no comment on the hearing.
"We will participate in the hearing and let things fall where they may," union spokesman Carl Francis said Thursday.
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"

Reviews for Corn, Rice & Bean Burritos
Sort By :
It was good but really needs more spice. I don't really care for super spicy food but this was really bland. I will make it again but I'm going to try something simple like taco seasoning to add more kick.
Would make again but increase the spice! Added spanish rice, increased the cumin & chili powder and used some jalepeno and still thought it could be a little spicier! Other than that pretty good!

Minus the burrito from this recipe and it makes an excellent side dish! Easy and delicious! I make a double batch and take it cold for lunch.
Really good! Made with whole wheat tortillas and used light sour cream. Yummy!

Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley's campaign spokesman says Attorney General Lisa Madigan's decision not to run for Illinois governor gives voters "a clear choice" in the Democratic primary next spring.
Daley wants to unseat incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn.
Madigan announced Monday that she'll seek a fourth term as attorney general. She says she decided against entering the gubernatorial race because her father, House Speaker Michael Madigan, wants to keep his job.
Daley spokesman Pet Giangreco says a two-way primary pits "a proven leader" against "a governor who can't seem to get anything done." He says Quinn has been unable to solve Illinois' pension woes.
Daley is the son of one ex-Chicago mayor and the brother of another.
Quinn's campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Investigators find weapon in Officer Decker murder
Published on Friday, 04 January 2013 00:14
Hits: 1435
Public's Help Needed for Information on Person of Interest
The Stearns County Sheriff and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) held a press conference this afternoon to announce they likely found the weapon used to kill Cold Spring Police Officer Tom Decker. They said the person of interest in the case was found dead after hangin
g himself.
On Wednesday, January 2, BCA agents went to the home of Cold Spring resident 31-year old Eric Joseph Thomes to re- interview him regarding the shooting death of Officer Decker. When investigators arrived, Thomes ran out of his home and into an outbuilding on his property. After a several hour standoff, officers went inside the building and found him dead.
Following further investigation of Thomes, officers found a 20-guage shotgun they believe was the weapon used to kill Decker. The weapon was found at a separate property of which Thomes had access.
The investigation is not yet over. Investigators want the public's help to identify any activities or notable actions taken by Thomes before the shooting on November 29, 2012. Anyone with more information should call the Stearns County Sheriff's Office at (877) 782-5683 or the BCA at (877) 996-6222 or

How Can I Get Same Result As This Image ? ? ? ?
Hi !
I am not in any sense as graphics guru, so please be patient with me.
I am interested in knowing how to get the same result of the following image at the end of this thread. Keep in mind, the image is the left end of a bigger part of the whole.
So here is my question: How can I create a curl/bend/tuck such as the one on the ' Top Left ' of this image?
I have Photoshop and Illustrator at my disposal, I prefer Vector though.
Thank you
Yes, it's small ! Sorry....

Sometimes the easiest way to replicate something is to see a working example. If you have photoshop and illustrator you can easily inspect the components and then you know how it is being made. Check this link for some free Web Ribbons that contain the effect you are looking to learn. You may need to rotate the elements 90 degrees but it is the same effect just working horizontally rather than vertically.

Council tax freeze proposed in Chiltern
10:35am Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Andy Carswell, Reporter
A FREEZE on council tax rates is set to be made in the Chiltern district.
Members of Chiltern District Council's cabinet yesterday agreed to its draft budget for the next financial year, which includes no increase in the amount of council tax to be charged to residents.
The freeze needs to be approved by the full council, with a decision set to be confirmed later this month.

Obama's Organizing for Action: A Boost for ProgressivesRandy Shawbyline' Jan. 22' 2013
President Obama's second inaugural address struck a populist tone, but the real news for progressives came last Friday when it was announced that Obama's campaign organization would continue under a new name, Organizing for Action. Headed by Obama 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina, the new organization will initially focus on three key progressive issues: gun control, immigration reform, and climate change. The decision to use the Obama campaign base to mobilize around issues reverses the mistake made after the 2008 victory, when the huge Obama for America grassroots base was cut adrift from mobilizing behind the President's first term agenda.

In 1976 Judy Schad, her husband and their three children moved to a hilly farm near Greenville, Indiana to begin a life "in which the land, the animals, and the cheese manage us." They were in search of a sustainable lifestyle, on a piece of land suited to raising animals and planting gardens. In an uncanny twist, Judy discovered when she ran the farm title that it had belonged to her husband's great, great grandfather in the 1870s.
Learn more about Capriole. . .
Over thirty years later, the farmstead has a name that derives from the Latin word for goat. The Schad's children have children of their own. Pioneers in the world of American artisan cheese, the Schad's have based their efforts on traditional dairy practices, focusing on the health, longevity, and productivity of their herd. They raise animals who are born, live, and die on a single farm. Capriole goats browse in rotating woodland paddocks, according to standards of humane animal management.
Capriole was one of the first artisan producers of aged, raw milk cheeses in the US. Believing that cheeses achieve their ultimate complexity and depth of flavor when they reflect the natural biodiversity of animals and place ('terroir'), Judy Schad continues to be one of the strongest advocates for raw milk cheeses in this country. Details about her efforts to ensure the security of raw milk cheese production can be found at the Capriole website, in a document called 'Our Commitment to Raw Milk Cheeses.'
Thanks to Judy and others in the Cheese of Choice Coalition, a group that includes the American Cheese Society, the Cheese Importers of America, and the Oldways Preservation Trust, there is now a new organization, evolved from a Slow Food USA presidia project begun in 2003. The American Raw Milk Cheese Association helps promote the benefits of aged raw milk artisan cheeses, and has developed a voluntary protocol and testing program for the quality and safety of their products.
When you buy any of the delicious Capriole cheeses, you help contribute to the efforts of returning to traditional food ways and raising animals with respect and dignity. You help ensure that a beautiful farm in Indiana does not sucumb to suburban sprawl. You also allow yourself the health benefits and nourishing flavors of these distinctive cheeses, knowing they are handcrafted and unique.
Many thanks to the Schads for their dedicated, pionoeering efforts, and for providing us with such beautiful cheese!

N.C. State picked up two future games with Sun Belt foe Troy after getting dropped by SEC power Louisiana State.
Its the latest turn in the Wolfpacks future scheduling that has some fans groaning about name-brand appeal, but its the reality of the scheduling business.
N.C. State will open the 2015 season in Raleigh with Troy and visit the Trojans in southeastern Alabama in 2017. The Wolfpack had been set to play at LSU in 17 with the Tigers coming to Raleigh in 20.
LSU recently paid $100,000 to get out of the series, replacing N.C. State with fellow ACC member Syracuse, leaving the Wolfpack with a hole to fill.
N.C. State will play three Sun Belt teams over the next four years, including a home game with Georgia Southern to open the 2014 season. The Wolfpack is also scheduled to play at South Alabama in 2015.
A marquee matchup with LSU would have quelled some of the complaints from the Wolfpack fan base about the upcoming nonconference schedules. Now, two games with Notre Dame in connection with the Fighting Irishs agreement with the ACC, stand as the notable future highlights.
With the strength of N.C. States ACC schedule and the current rebuilding mode of the program coming off a 3-9 finish under Dave Doeren in 2013 the Wolfpack needs to be smart with its schedule outside the ACC, athletic director Debbie Yow said.
Yow, who inherited the South Florida and Presbyterian games on the 2014 schedule and the trip to South Alabama in 2015 from former AD Lee Fowler, said she realizes there are valid complaints about the quality of the nonconference opponents.
This years home schedule in particular with Georgia Southern and Old Dominion making the transition from the Football Championship Subdivision and no date with North Carolina or Duke is unappealing.
And I understand the complaints, in partial context, Yow said, but we have to give ourselves a chance to be competitive.
Yow pointed out on the upcoming schedule the Wolfpack will play Florida State, Clemson and Louisville in a four-week span with no extra time off to prepare for any of those three games. The Clemson and Louisville games are on the road.
Florida State went 14-0 and won the national title last season and hasnt lost an ACC game since a trip to Raleigh in 2012. Clemson finished 11-2 at No. 8 in the final AP poll after an Orange Bowl victory against Ohio State. The Tigers only two ACC losses in 2012 and 13 were to FSU.
ACC newcomer Louisville went 12-1 last season and finished ranked No. 15. All three schools finished in the top 15 in 2012, as well. All three are in the Atlantic Division with N.C. State, which is why Yow has been less inclined to seek out a big game out of the league.
Football schedules can be complicated, and N.C. State has had its issues with locking in opponents. The school had a home-and-home with Pittsburgh on the books, and the two played in Raleigh in 2009, but then Pitt joined the ACC.
Yow bought out a return trip to Central Michigan for $350,000 to open a home slot on the 2014 schedule. In order to get seven home games in 14, Yow added a home-and-home with ODU, so the Pack has to go to Norfolk, Va., in 15.
N.C. State will still get a shot at Notre Dame, a full ACC member in all sports but football. The Fighting Irish will play four ACC teams this season, and five each year starting with the 2015 schedule. The Irish are supposed to play in Raleigh in 2016, and the Wolfpack is tentatively scheduled to go to South Bend, Ind., in 17.
N.C. State also has three games with East Carolina on the books, but that series is about to hit a lull. The Pirates and Pack played six times from 2004 to 2013 but will play three times over the next nine seasons 2016 (in Greenville), 2019 (Raleigh) and 2022 (Greenville).
The ACC coaches will meet next month to discuss the possibility of adding a ninth conference game to the schedule, which would add more appeal but would make the home-and-away split to the conference schedule uneven.
Any possible changes to the league format would not happen before the 2016 season.

Listen to the Oldest Surviving Voice Recording with Music, Finally Digitized
As many of you know, one of the goals of NoFilmSchool is to keep our readers up to date regarding the latest in acquisition options and upcoming formats, as well as ways to put it all together. Less often are we able to move in the other direction so to speak, and bring you news about really innovative recording systems — from over 100 years ago. As digital filmmakers, videographers, and photographers, in a technological sense, we're standing on the shoulders of giants. I'm sure there are moments in which many of us forget the years it has taken to bring our tools to the advanced level they've reached, and in which we just plain take those tools for granted. Why wouldn't we? The recent (re)discovery of a comparatively ancient audio recording — one that allegedly features the world's first recorded musical performance, as well as its first blooper — may help to remind us how good we really have it! Read on to hear the recording, and to find out how it was made possible.
The 78-second recording, made in 1878, still exists to this day in its original recorded format — a 5 x 15 inch sheet of tin foil, upon which the stylus of a Thomas Edison original phonograph scratched the sound waves sampled by its microphone. The phonograph used a hand-crank mechanism, and apparently each recording could only be replayed a few times before the "recording" (the sheet of tin foil) was totally teared through by the stylus itself. Even with the ability to record sound in this manner, the extremely temperamental nature of the tin foil format meant a short life-span for the recording, and as such, this particular tin foil sheet couldn't be played back in its originally intended manner.
Instead, the foil was scanned in three dimensions, its 'topography' analyzed, then converted and plugged in to a waveform reader. As CBS News reported, it was converted "with optical scanning technology to replicate the action of the phonograph's stylus, reading the grooves in the foil [and]… then analyzed by a computer program that recovered the original recorded sound." I can, with fair certainty, therefore call this the longest gap between the major steps of an A/D (Analog to Digital) conversion in the history of A/D conversions — and that brings me serious joy to be able to say.
As for the contents of the recording themselves, here's the summary from The Creators Project:
The recording opens with a 23-second cornet solo of an unidentified song, followed by a man's voice reciting "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "Old Mother Hubbard." The man laughs at two spots during the recording, including at the end, when he recites the wrong words in the second nursery rhyme.
Finally, the recording itself, which The Creators Project attributes to the Reddit community (specifically user Liberationdemonology – the original CBS News post did not include any of the actual audio):
CBS News attributes the "popping noises heard on this recording [to] scars left from where the foil was folded up for more than a century" — now that's what I call Lo-Fi. Still, the fact that a hand-cranked mechanism driving a stylus was able to etch sound waves as heard by a connected microphone onto any medium, never mind a piece of tin foil, is pretty impressive. On top of all that, the recording actually surviving long enough for us to digitally reproduce and therefore truly immortalize it as historical media is nothing short of amazing. I wish I could convince my friends in the field of audio to record my sync tracks on Edison's phonograph instead of Edirols and Sound Devices recorders. One of the sentences in this paragraph may be tongue-in-cheek… maybe. Regardless, the recording truly represents a milestone, and may help to remind us sometimes of how very far our gear has come.
What do you guys think? Do you find this as "wow-worthy" as I do? Let us know in the comments below.

We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Peter on 10.28.12 @ 10:55AM
The first photographs were much more compelling than the first sound recordings. But we see that not only did they dress funny in that era, they also talked funny (compared to modern American accents). The British influence was still strong in the voices.
Paul on 10.28.12 @ 8:20PM
Actually I think its bigger than WOW – that they actually did this so long ago in such a painstaking yet brilliant manner, coupled with the technology employed today enabling its rescue and preservation. Amazing!
Nate O on 10.28.12 @ 9:15PM
If they didn't use a 384khz 48bit A/D converter then GTFO. Kidding of course but I'm waiting for a ballsy audiophile to come in here haha. This is very impressive…
Dave Kendricken on 10.28.12 @ 9:22PM
I LOL'd :)
Hmm wonder what the specs are for tin foil, as in signal to noise ratio and frequency response at the very least?
Edwin on 11.1.12 @ 9:46PM
I do a lot of sound for film and composing as well. I have to admit the tech used to retrieve the sound is simply awesome. Loved the recording. Fantastic way to hear yesteryear. Quite right about the accent and manner. I can see this being used as an intro to a song. the pops are quite rhythmic and you could sync a beat to it nicely and lead it into something with a real kick to it. It would be like discovering some lost forgotten film footage for comparison. Thanks for posting
Wow, you found this 20 years after the great experimental filmmaker, Leslie Thornton, used it in her now classic avant-garde work, "Peggy and Fred in Hell." She searched in the National Archive for years and found many extraordinary things…

I'm a traditional painter. Sometimes I operate on extremely tight schedules with little to no sleep. In late 2009 I received a commission for 15 oil paintings for a church. On a normal schedule it would take me three weeks for one painting, but because the deadline was in less than four months I had only five days for each. For four months I slept only three hours a night and worked like a madman. I used coffee for a while, but got to the point where it didn't help much. In fact, I was falling asleep while working. A Facebook friend recommended 5-Hour Energy and I immediately went out and bought some. I was able to work longer and completed the job on time. Today I'm a regular user of 5-Hour Energy and feel it is partly responsible for my success as an award winning painter. www.ericarmusik.com.

My goodness, the Big 12 is taking this new bowl partnership thing with the SEC pretty seriously. The above is an actual item being sold by the Big 12's official online store, as is the following (ht to Rock M Nation for both):
Does this count as some sort of a digital national championship that'll be hollered about until the next conference's merchandise provider accidentally throws the wrong conference's shirts up? Oh, you bet it does.
And don't think some SEC fan isn't already considering starting up a PURDUE-TO-THE SEC movement just to get some SEC shirts on the Big Ten's site, which has just now become the white whale of Southern football trollery.
While we're here, let's watch some college football videos from SB Nation's new YouTube channel together:

It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
The upcoming Cinco de Mayo holiday is the perfect excuse to get a little messy with some basic crafting supplies to make a piñata paper-mache style.
Using your bypass trimmer cut newspapers into 1" strips. Cut these strips down to an approximately length of 6".
Blow up your balloon to the desired size and shape and tie off with a knot. Resting your balloon in one empty bowl will help prevent a case of the runaway balloon while you're working to cover it.
In another bowl, mix equal parts of flour and water. Stir until most of the lumps have been worked into the mixture. NOTE: One cup of each is a good amount to get you through covering your balloon with the first layer of paper.
Dip newspaper strips, one at a time, into your flour paste and remove excess paste by gently dragging it between two fingers. Apply each strip to balloon, slightly overlapping each strip.
Cover the entire balloon, but leave the knotted area of the balloon uncovered. This is the opening you will use to fill the piñata with sweet treats and assorted party favors.
TIP: When you first start applying strips, the weight of first few strips will pull your balloon off balance and make it seem like the bowl isn't so helpful, but if you apply some strips to the opposite side it will quickly balance itself out.
After covering the balloon with a single layer of paste-covered newspaper strips, allow it to rest in the bowl and dry overnight. Rotate the balloon every few hours to make sure the areas resting in the bowl are exposed to air for drying.
On the next day, repeat the step above, following the same paste-making and strip-covering process to add a second layer.
NOTE: You may repeat this process as many times as desired, but you will find that two or three layers create a very stable and sturdy form.
Once your piñata form is completely dry you can remove the balloon. Use the sharp tip of your No. 5 Micro-tip scissors to pierce a hole to deflate the balloon. You'll hear the balloon pulling away from the edge of the piñata form as it deflates. Using a light tug, you can remove the balloon from the hole.
Now your form is ready for you to start adding character to it with additional materials. For a three dimensional star shape, I simply taped party hats around the perimeter of the piñata. You can use many other recyclable materials. My daughter created a unicorn and used a cotton candy paper cone for the horn and a few sections from an egg carton for the eyes. Wadded up paper bags can add dimension as well. All of it will be covered when you decorate so it doesn't matter how attractive these form shapers are.
Now that I you have your shape ready, it's time to start decorating. There are a dozen different materials and a dozen different ways to decorate a piñata, but I chose to use fringed crepe paper streamers. You can also glue small wadded up squares of tissue paper on or punch shapes from construction paper using your favorite squeeze punch shape to glue on.
Before you start cutting fringe, take a moment to plug in your hot glue gun so it's hot and ready when you are.
To create the fringe, first cut off a 8' length (this length can be longer or shorter) of crepe paper, folded it in half many times over, then use your Razor Sharp scissors to cut through the multiple layers of folded crepe paper. Cut the fringe approximately 1/8" apart and cut slightly more than halfway into the edge of the paper.
After the fringe is cut, start gluing the uncut edge of the fringed crepe paper starting at the bottom of your piñata and working your way toward the top. I first covered the round shape of the piñata, and then finished it off with decorating the paper party hats. To create a full fringed look as seen in the sample, glue short strips of each uncut edge directly above the other working from bottom of the piñata all the way to the top, switching colors as desired.
If you are having trouble stabilizing your piñata during the decoration process, you can use an empty bowl to rest your piñata form in. If you're creating the same dimensional star, the party hats act as a stabilizer for you.
After your fringed crepe paper is applied, you can add additional details like silk flower, buttons, google eyes, yarn, etc. In this case, I used my No. 5 Micro-tip Scissors to curl some curling ribbon to hot glue to each point.
Now the piñata is ready to fill with treats and party favors. If the hole is not large enough to fit your treats into you can gently make it larger by using a detail knife to shave away the paper around the opening.
To prepare for hanging, use your 1/8" hand-held hole punch to punch through the piñata form at opposite sides of the opening. String twine through the holes and hang in an open area to allow party attendees ample space for whacking it to bust it open.Happy Cinco de Mayo!

CATEGORIES InterviewsAnnette Bening is perhaps the most celebrated celebrity mom in Hollywood -- having raised four children with Mr. Hollywood himself, Warren Beatty. Bening, however, takes motherhood in stride, preferring to be recognized as doing the best she can to teach her children well.
She plays a mother of a more complicated sort in 'Mother and Child' as Karen, a woman who gave her baby up for adoption at 14 years old. In this exclusive interview with Moviefone, Bening shares how 'Mother and Child' personally affected her and reminded her of her own teenage years, the nerves she felt the first time she stepped onto a movie set, and how the mania of the paparazzi dissipated when she began a family with Beatty. Annette Bening is perhaps the most celebrated celebrity mom in Hollywood -- having raised four children with Mr. Hollywood himself, Warren Beatty. Bening, however, takes motherhood in stride, preferring to be recognized as doing the best she can to teach her children well.
She plays a mother of a more complicated sort in 'Mother and Child' as Karen, a woman who gave her baby up for adoption at 14 years old. In this exclusive interview with Moviefone, Bening shares how 'Mother and Child' personally affected her and reminded her of her own teenage years, the nerves she felt the first time she stepped onto a movie set, and how the mania of the paparazzi dissipated when she began a family with Beatty.
In the film 'Mother and Child' we see your character at 14 giving up her baby for adoption. Did this resonate for you personally?
One of the things I thought about [the character] Karen a lot were my own years in high school, girls that I knew that got pregnant and a number of people around me that this happened to. I think of a particular girl who disappeared. She was a really vivacious girl and I had known her since she was very little and all of a sudden she was just gone. Nobody ever talked about [teen pregnancy] openly but suddenly somebody would be gone, and the rumor went around that she got pregnant and her father sent her away. By the time I was in high school, Roe v. Wade had passed, so that was also happening; girls were getting pregnant and getting abortions -- and that happened in my school too.
How did you see this affect the young girls when you were in high school?
This happened to a lot of kids and it was profoundly traumatic. Some of these girls were able to pick up and get on with their lives, but really what happened was these 14 year-old girls had a 10-minute episode with a boy, making this mistake, and then the first glimmer of maybe missing your period and what was it like for these girls having to admit they were pregnant and the shame and the embarrassment for the family ... A lot of them were told, "This is fine. You just give up the baby and then go back to high school." Of course it wasn't fine, especially the time when they have to sign the papers to give up their baby [for adoption]. The mothers tried to be incredibly supportive but didn't want anyone to know about it and wanted it to be a secret. It was incredibly complicated then and still is today.
As a celebrity mom, are you more idealized?
We still want to idealize moms, and sometimes we want to idealize actresses who are moms, too. I know that's something I've experienced, but we're all just doing the best we can and we're all trying to raise our kids and talk to them about everything that needs to be discussed. You want to give them limits and also be their allies, so for everybody it's always a bit of a mess and chaotic.
When you first got married to Warren Beatty, did the paparazzi hound you?
My husband and I, when we were first together and I was pregnant, we would get followed around every once in a while; but now it's on such a level and [depends on] how much people are cultivating it. Because some people are cultivating it, they're encouraging it, so there's that -- but it is incredibly intrusive at the same time. We're not getting chased around so it's easier, but most of the time if I'm gonna be photographed I know it, so it's not a shocking traumatic thing. I guess for people who get followed around all the time it must be a nightmare. We had a bit of that but we weren't scandalous for very long. Very quickly we had a kid and now it was just like, "Oh, they're married and have a kid. Oh well!"
What attracted you to make the film?
When I read the script, it almost read like a novella. The first time is always so important because you only get that once, not knowing where it's going to go or what's going to happen. [Director] Rodrigo Garcia found a way to weave together these very intricate stories and get to a point of resolution for everybody in a way that feels really surprising but also true to me. I loved the fact that my character was so wrong and that she didn't get it right. In a way I relish that acting problem, to not push people away, and I do worry about it because I want people to be involved and not dislike the character. Yet as storytellers we're not just telling you fairy tales; we're trying to tell you the truth and how people really are in life. If you met this woman you might not like her, and that happens. There are reasons people are like that, which I felt was true for her, and that was in the writing.
How does Rodrigo Garcia's style of directing compare with other directors you've worked with?
When I started movies I was fortunate because I worked with very good people and [liked] how little the director said. Maybe it was because I was from plays where people were much more verbose. A lot of directors in my experience are very receptive. They see what you do first, and then they want to find a place to put the camera and they tweak you here and there. Rodrigo says very little and you sort of plunge in and do what your instinct tells you, and sometimes he'll say something if you need a little feedback.
Having begun in the theater, were you nervous making that transition into film?
My first handful of pictures were with Mike Nichols, and I remember being really nervous showing up on the set, and Harrison Ford was the star of the movie ['Regarding Henry']. I'd made a few movies by then but I still felt like a beginner, and they were talking about how nervous they were. And I thought, "You're nervous?! You can't be nervous. I'm the one that's nervous. I deserve to be nervous. You are who you are." But of course you realize that as time goes on that's the state of it. The tension I feel is the moment they say, "Action!" Movies are like lightning in a bottle, and you always want to find when you possibly can catch a surprising moment.
Did you set out to become a movie star?
I wanted to be a classical actress. I plodded along. I went to junior college in San Francisco, I was in a Repertory Company. My hero was Eva Le Gallienne who was a great theater actress at the turn of the century who created her own company and she wrote these hilarious autobiographies at the time. I didn't picture myself as a movie actress. I began to think about it around college. I remember thinking, "Well somebody has to be in them," so maybe I could do that eventually. It's all been a surprise. I didn't do a movie until I was almost 30. I'm grateful for that because it gave me a chance to be an adult in the world and do work in the regional theater that very few people cared about. I loved it and I wanted to do that stuff.
What do you want audiences to come away with when they see 'Mother and Child'?
I do want to try to get people to have that moment where you're outside of yourself and you're wrapped up in something else, and maybe get entertained along the way a little bit. We are in the business of intimacy in a weird way, especially movies, and this movie that Rodrigo made is so intimate. You're involved inside moments of people's lives that only movies can kind of do. I love that about the movies.

Spain's Interior Ministry says terrorism has been ruled out as a possible cause of Wednesday's train derailment where 77 people have been found dead and at least 140 injured. The accident happened just before arrival in the northwestern shrine city of Santiago de Compostela.
The accident happened on the eve of a major religious festival that attracts tens of thousands of Christians from around the world every year.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who was born in Santiago de Compostela, is visiting the crash scene today. Officials in the city have canceled ceremonies for the religious festival today.
UA President: incident won't interrupt progress

PORT-AU-PRINCE -- The death toll from Tropical Storm Isaac rose Tuesday to 24 in Haiti where disaster officials warned the number could increase, and donors continued efforts to assess damage to crops and homes.
Edgard Celestin, spokesman for Haitis Office of Civil Protection, said three people remained missing. Another 42 suffered injuries.
The deaths included a man who died in a camp when a tree branch fell on him, another young man who was killed by mudslides in the southeast and several killed by electrocution.
Beyond the lost of life, Haitian and humanitarian officials were still trying to assess Isaacs impact as the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations flew reconnaissance flights around Haitis capital and some of its hardest hit regions. Among them, the southern region where mountain hamlets remained cut off to some assessment teams trying to tally the loss of crops and homes.
We are still collecting information, said George Ngwa, communications chief for the U.N.s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Haitian Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe who visited several hard hit communities in the capital Sunday with President Michel Martelly said the disaster has reinforced the need to increase resettlement efforts for those living in the tents.
This was a test for Haiti, and we did well, Lamothe said. The goal now is to fast track the rent subsidy program 16-6 to help more people.
Among what was known on Monday: at least 2,346 homes damaged and 335 destroyed, according to Civil Protection. The International Federation of Red Cross, which conducted an assessment along Route 9 near the Port-au-Prince international airport, said 1,600 households were affected by floods from the rain and an overflowing Grise River. The numbers included both homes and shanties occupied by victims of the January 2010 earthquake.
The big concern, humanitarian partners said, remained over the loss of crops and the storms impact on a deadly cholera epidemic that has already killed more than 7,000 Haitians.
As a precautionary measure, Doctors Without Borders on Monday reopened a 275-bed Cholera Treatment Center in Carrefour, a suburb just south of the capital.
Concerns about cholera have now been joined by worry over food security as reports continued to flow about the lost of plantain, beans and other crops in storm-hit rural communities.
We still have two months of hurricane season, Myrtha Kaulard, World Food Program representative in Haiti. In rural areas, we need not to underestimate the fact that some communities are isolated because beyond the collapsed bridge there are entire households that lack all possible access.
It is absolutely important that we sustain the flight against food insecurity in Haiti because it is something that is addressable.

Hi there, I have another question for the pros out there.
I was draining the oil on the 147 today and heard some loud oil hit the drain pan (metal pieces). Upon pulling the oil pan I found that the bottom balancer gear had broken parts off of it. I removed the rest of the gear from the engine. The engine was running good with no noise or smoke that I could hear or see. At a very low idle it did rock back and forth a little bit.
I have heard that you can take these gears out and leave them out. Is this correct? If so, since the engine was running with no noises, can I leave the top gear in with out doing any harm? This engine will not be used much other than in tractor parades and a little driving around the yard. No mowing.
If the top gear has to be removed can it be removed without pulling the crankshaft?
Here are a couple of photos.
Any help will be appreciated.

A church group visiting the Las Vegas Valley has fallen victim to thieves. Their SUV and trailer were stolen from a restaurant parking lot on Thursday.
The group lost almost everything they had while driving all the way from Kentucky.
"We estimate probably in the neighborhood of $50,000 worth of stuff, and our truck trailer and all of our supplies were stolen and taken. We lost it all," said group leader Ken Ford.
Ken Ford and his group are performing mission work in Las Vegas. About 70 members came to help the Summerlin Baptist Church put on a vacation Bible school this weekend.
"We do this every year. We take a large mission trip somewhere, and we go out and we try to help a local church dig deeper into the community," Ford said.
The group's black GMC Yukon and a trailer full of equipment and luggage was parked in a Chili's lot at Fort Apache Avenue and Charleston Boulevard.
The group had been on the road all day and wanted to stop for dinner. When they left the restaurant, everything was gone.
"Amplifiers, speakers, soundboards – we had thousands and thousands of dollars worth of tools," Ford said. "We have people that don't even have clothes and we had to go to Walmart this morning just to get them a change of clothes. They had nothing."
Despite the setback, the group will go on with the mission.
"Thankfully, a couple of other churches in town have been able to donate their decorations and craft supplies and other things so that we can pull off this event. That is a total blessing," said Gail Fee with Summerlin Community Baptist Church.
Ford said the thieves got one thing they might need more than the group does.
"One good thing about it, there's a lot of Bibles in there. Maybe they'll read some of that," he said, laughing.
If you see a black 2005 GMC Yukon with Kentucky plates, you're asked to call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.

A pair of severe thunderstorms moved through the Las Vegas Valley on Friday night, bringing flooding, wind and plenty of thunder and lightning.
The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning about 7 p.m. as the storms began moving in to the northeast side of the metro. As the storms moved southwest, they began to intensify, bringing heavy rainfall and causing flooding.
Flooding was reported near Craig and Pecos roads, Green Valley, along Boulder Highway, the Strip and numerous other parts of the Valley.
The wind was strong enough to bring down some trees and power lines in parts of the area. FOX5 received several reports of power outages across the Valley.
Some shutterbugs captured images of the intense lightning produced by the storms.
At the Atrium Garden condo complex near Pecos Road and Washington Avenue, trees were snapped in half, some were uprooted. Trees broke gas lines, tore down wires and broke some poles. The complex lost power and gas. Trees fell on approximately 15 units. Between 40 and 50 people were displaced with Desert Pines High School serving as an evacuation center. Those displaced are being aided by the American Red Cross.
NV Energy reported approximately 33,000 customers lost power due to the storm, most on the east side of town.
Forecasters warned of more flooding rains through the weekend. A flash flood watch has been issued for all of southern Nevada through Monday evening.

Griswold — A New Hampshire woman died Tuesday morning from injuries suffered in a crash that state police said occurred when her vehicle was broadsided by a tractor-trailer.
Joanne M. Gulmond, 75, of Seabrook, N.H., was a passenger in a Ford Taurus driven by 73-year-old Roland Gulmond that was struck by a tractor-trailer after police said the Taurus failed to stop at a red light at the intersection of Route 138 and the Exit 85 northbound access road from Interstate 395.
The crash happened at 10:30 a.m. and closed Route 138 and the access road until shortly after 3 p.m.
The tractor-trailer, driven by 52-year-old Robert Paige of Hilton, N.Y., was traveling west on Route 138 when it struck the passenger side of Gulmond's northbound vehicle as it drove through the red light from the access road, police said.
The impact caused the fatal injury to Joanne Gulmond, who was in the passenger seat. Roland Gulmond was taken to The William W. Backus Hospital by Griswold Ambulance for treatment of a head injury. All were wearing seat belts.
Police said Paige was not injured and was cooperative during the investigation.
