The week of announcements continues: Universal Pictures will release Jurassic World, the fourth entry in the Jurassic Park franchise, on Friday, June 12, 2015. The sequel will be shot in 3D. No other films are currently slated to open on that date.
From Universal:
Steven Spielberg returns to produce the long-awaited next installment of his groundbreaking Jurassic Park series, JURASSIC WORLD. Colin Trevorrow directs the epic action-adventure from a draft of the screenplay he wrote with Derek Connolly. Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley join the team as fellow producers.
A first place opening in China propelled Elysium to reach a $127.1 million overseas cume. The sci-fi flick brought in a total of $21.2 million outside of North America over the weekend. China accounted for an $11.7 million debut over its first four days in release, meaning that Elysium's Chinese debut came in 11% ahead of the Oblivion premiere. Elyisum has grossed $212.7 million worldwide.
Despicable Me 2 is on its way to hitting the $500 million overseas mark with eight territories left, including top markets Italy, Japan, and South Korea. The film has grossed $475.2 million overseas and $832.2 million worldwide.
Monsters University is quietly adding to its $724.4 million global cume, making strides at the global box office despite being overshadowed by the blockbuster run of Despicable Me 2. The animated prequel has collected a total of $459.2 million from the overseas box office. The leading markets for Monsters University are Japan ($88.8M), the U.K. ($44.4M), Mexico ($38.2M), China ($30.4M), Argentina ($23.7M), Australia ($22.4M), and Russia ($20.9M). The last remaining territory for Monsters University is South Korea, where it will open on September 12.
The Smurfs 2 is days away from a major overseas milestone after raking in $7.3 million over the weekend to reach a $199.2 million cume. The film has grossed $267.4 million worldwide. The sequel will open in Australia and China this week.
One Direction: This is Us added another $7.6 million to its overseas total, bringing the cume to $26 million. Italy led the weekend with $2.1 million from 350 screens, beating the debuts of Michael Jackson's This is It and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. The concert film reached a $9.1 million cume during its second weekend in the United Kingdom. One Direction: This is Us has grossed $50 million worldwide.
The Conjuring scared its way to a $124.5 million overseas total following an $8.5 million weekend from 47 markets. The Conjuring became the highest grossing horror film of all time in Mexico after reaching a $15 million cume during its third consecutive weekend atop the box office. Other top markets for the thriller include the United Kingdom ($15.7M), Russia ($10M), and Australia ($8M). The Conjuring has grossed $259 million worldwide.
We're the Millers made $9.9 million from 41 markets, reaching a $55.1 million overseas total. The comedy has grossed $171 million globally.
Planes reached a $121.2 million global cume after taking in $11.3 million from 31 overseas territories, including openings in Lebanon, Singapore, Indonesia, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. The overseas total for the animated film is $41.9 million, with $10.8 million of that figure coming from the United Kingdom. Planes will have a chance to boost its numbers next weekend with big openings in Brazil and Mexico.
The Lone Ranger is on the verge of salvaging a $250 million worldwide take in what has an amounted to a disastrous box office run. The film is buoyed by a $154.5 million overseas take that takes its current global total to $243.3 million. An October 6 opening in China could push the global cume to the $300 million range.
Michael Bay isn't used to scoring low box office numbers. Pain and Gain, the director's long-time true-crime/comedy passion project, was has grossed an overseas total of $25 million, taking the global total to a very modest $74.8 million.
World War Z is winding down in its 12th weekend overseas, taking in $1 million from 865 locations across 31 markets for a $335 million overseas cue. The global total for Brad Pitt's zombie thriller is $535.9 million.
Jurassic Park 3D has been a surprise hit for Universal. The 3D re-release has grossed $69.1 million overseas, led by a fantastic $52.1 million from 20 days in China. The film's global gross is $114.5 million.
Fast 6 is in the closing moments of its theatrical run. The blockbuster action film has grossed $549.3 million overseas and $788 million worldwide.
Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters reached a $93.2 million overseas total this weekend after bringing $6 million from 49 markets. The film relinquished the top spot in Brazil, finishing in second place and reporting a $10.1 million cume. Other top earners for the film include France ($11.5M) and Russia ($11.4M). Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters will open in Argentina, Italy, Spain, and South Korea next weekend. The sequel has grossed $150.6M worldwide.
The Wolverine reached a $223.8 million overseas total ahead of its Japanese premiere next weekend. The superhero spin-off sequel has grossed $362.5M worldwide.
Grown Ups 2 reached an $83 million overseas cume over the weekend, taking its worldwide total to $213.6 million. The ensemble sequel surpassed the original in Russia after only ten days in release, where it is currently reporting a $7.2 million gross. Grown Ups 2 will open in France next weekend.
Sunday Update: As was widely expected, Universal's Riddick debuted in first place this weekend with an estimated $18.67 million. However, the third installment of the Vin Diesel led sci-fi franchise did open below expectations (which tended to range from $20 million to $25 million). Riddick also opened below the $24.29 million start of 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick (which stands at $31.92 million when adjusting for ticket price inflation). With that said, it should also be noted that with a reported production budget of $38 million, Riddick was far less expensive than The Chronicles of Riddick. Riddick did outpace the $11.58 million three-day start of 2000's Pitch Black (which stands at $17.53 million when adjusting for inflation); though Riddick is highly likely to be significantly more front-loaded than Pitch Black was.
Riddick took in $7.3 million on Friday (which included an estimated $900,000 from late night shows that began at 8 p.m. on Thursday), fell 1 percent on Saturday to gross $7.2 million and is estimated to fall 42 percent on Sunday to gross $4.17 million. That places the film's estimated opening weekend to Friday ratio at 2.56 to 1. The audience breakdown for Riddick skewed towards male moviegoers (59 percent) and moviegoers over 30 (53 percent). The film received a modest B rating on CinemaScore. That isn't a very promising sign going forward; nor is the upcoming competition the film will face from the release of FilmDistrict's highly anticipated Insidious Chapter 2 next weekend.
After leading the box office for each of the past three weekends, Lee Daniels' The Butler fell to second place this weekend with an estimated $8.90 million. The early awards season hopeful from The Weinstein Company starring Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey was down a respectable 40 percent from last weekend's three-day frame. The Butler has grossed an impressive $91.90 million through 24 days of release; leaving the film just $8.10 million away from reaching the $100 million domestic milestone.
Lionsgate's Instructions Not Included held up very nicely this weekend with an estimated third place take of $8.1 million. The low-budget Eugenio Derbez comedy vehicle from Pantelion films was up 3 percent over last weekend's surprise debut. Strong word of mouth (the film received an A+ rating on CinemaScore) and expanding into an additional 369 locations this weekend both helped out the film in a big way. Instructions Not Included continued to claim the highest per-location average in the top 10, as it averaged $11,297 from 717 locations. The film took in $1.64 million on Friday, jumped 102 percent to take in $3.32 million on Saturday and is estimated to fall 5 percent on Sunday to gross $3.14 million. Instructions Not Included has grossed $20.31 million through ten days of release and has a very strong chance of continuing to hold up well going forward.
We're the Millers took in an estimated $7.93 million to place in fourth. Warner's break-out comedy starring Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis was down 38 percent from last weekend, which represents a healthy post-Labor Day weekend hold. With a $123.84 million 33-day take, We're the Millers has now out-grossed the $117.54 million total gross of 2011's Horrible Bosses and continues to pad its status as one of the larger surprise hits of this summer.
Disney's Planes claimed fifth place this weekend with an estimated $4.27 million. The modestly budgeted computer animated film was down 45 percent and has now grossed $79.28 million in 31 days. Planes continues to benefit from the lack of new competition for family audiences and will continue to do so until Sony's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is released on September 27.
Meanwhile, Sony's One Direction: This Is Us was down a massive 74 percent to land in sixth with an estimated $4.1 million. After a strong opening day performance last weekend, the 3D concert documentary has remained largely in free fall since then. With that said, One Direction: This Is Us has still grossed a solid $23.99 million in ten days. That places the film 42 percent ahead of the $16.84 million ten-day start of 2009's Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience, but 50 percent behind the $48.18 million ten-day take of 2011's Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.
Saturday Update: Universal reports Riddick grabbed $7.3 million on Friday, lower than initial estimates had suggested would be possible earlier on Friday. The opening day figure for Vin Diesel's sequel was down a noticeable 26 percent from the $9.9 million first day take of 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick. That puts the film on target for a modest $18.1 million opening frame.
Not even the addition of IMAX or Vin Diesel's career comeback could help muster up a stronger debut for the dormant franchise. Opening on the first weekend after a very crowded summer where audiences had their fill of action movies is also proving to have been a strategic misstep.
Early word of mouth appears to be questionable, too, with the pic's Flixster user rating down to 72 percent after having previously boasted a 98 percent anticipation score less than two days ago. As mentioned earlier, however, the overseas potential of Riddick should still be enough to send the film into successful territory. The film is reported to have cost just $35-40 million (less than half of Chronicles' production budget) before marketing expenses.
Meanwhile, Lee Daniels' The Butler and We're the Millers continue to enjoy their strong runs. Butler grabbed $2.37 million on Friday as it heads toward a projected $8.5 million frame. Millers added $2.3 million, putting it on pace for an $8 million weekend.
Friday Update #2: Sources tell BoxOffice that Riddick should earn at least $22 million during its debut frame. While that won't top the $24.3 million debut--roughly $32 million when adjusting for inflation--that Chronicles of Riddick managed in 2004, it's still a solid showing and it'll be good enough to push Lee Daniel's The Butler down to second place after a three-week run on top. Nine years makes a huge difference when it comes to the popularity of a franchise, and it's tough to expect any film to match its predecessors after such a prolonged absence.
There's little doubt that Riddick will top the $115 million global haul that Chronicles raked in. Star Vin Diesel is a marketing machine these days, and the nearly 46.6 million likes he commands on Facebook are made up of plenty of overseas fans. Look for strong numbers in key territories such as the UK, Brazil and Russia.
Check back tomorrow morning for official studio estimates.
Friday Update #1: Universal reports that Riddick took in an estimated $900K from Thursday evening shows. The debut puts Riddick 33% ahead of the $665K that Resident Evil: Retribution made from midnight shows before opening to $21 million during the Sep. 14-16, 2012 frame.

Glowing reviews out of Venice and Telluride are clearly helping Gravity build buzz. In a survey conducted by Fandango, the sci-fi flick held its own against bigger tentpoles coming out this fall.
The official release:
Fandango, the nation's leading moviegoer destination, today revealed the results of its "Most Anticipated Fall Movie Survey," in which The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire, grabbed the top spot among all films released between September and the end of November. The poll - which surveyed thousands of moviegoers on Fandango during the last week of summer - also revealed that this may be a huge season for Chris and Liam Hemsworth, who individually star in three major Fall releases.
"This fall will see the Reign of the Brothers Hemsworth," says Fandango Chief Correspondent Dave Karger, "with Chris starring in the Thor sequel and the racing drama, Rush and Liam deservedly getting more screen time in the Hunger Games sequel. It's rare in the history of cinema for two matinee idol brothers to so completely dominate the box office in the same season."
The Five Most Anticipated Fall Movies:
1. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (11/22), winning with 28% of vote
2. Thor: The Dark World (11/8), 21%
3. Gravity (10/4), 15%
4. Ender's Game (11/1), 4%
5. Carrie (10/18), 4%
Most Anticipated Male Performance of the Fall:
1. Chris Hemsworth: Thor: The Dark World, winning with 17% of vote
2. Leonardo Di Caprio: The Wolf of Wall Street, 13%
3. George Clooney: Gravity, 13%
4. Josh Hutcherson: Catching Fire, 12%
5. Liam Hemsworth: Catching Fire, 8%
Most Anticipated Female Performance of the Fall:
1. Jennifer Lawrence: Catching Fire, winning with 39% of vote
2. Sandra Bullock: Gravity, 21%
3. Natalie Portman: Thor: The Dark World, 8%
4. Meryl Streep: August: Osage County, 7%
5. Jennifer Hudson: Black Nativity, 4%
One Direction: This is Us ruled the box office in the band's home market, playing in a market-leading 1,045 screens and finishing the weekend with a $5.3 million take, including previews. The opening tally crushed the $3.7 million lifetime total of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, a film that only played in just over a third of the locations of the One Direction concert movie.
Elysium placed in second with a $1.9 million take that raises its two-week cume to $9.1 million. We're the Millers culminated its second weekend with a third place finish of $1.7 million, taking its cume to $6.3 million. Pain and Gain couldn't lift itself past a fourth place finish in its U.K. debut, settling for a $1.5 million bow.

Wed 06 Feb 2013Story by Jennifer Tyler Lee
Gung Hay Fat Choy! These easy Asian recipes make it fun to welcome health and happiness for start of the Chinese New Year.
Like the rising sun, our adventure this month started in the East. New sounds, smells and sights bombarded our senses. Filled with the excited but overwhelming feeling reserved for those precarious moments encountered when crossing the threshold into a new city, we ventured forward into San Francisco�s Chinatown.
Fueled by the momentum of our 52 New Foods challenge, our family decided to take our healthy eating adventure on a tour around the world in 2013 -- an opportunity to explore the colorful cultures that capture our imagination through the universal language of food.
Easy Asian Pear Sauce
A visit to San Francisco�s Chinatown would not be complete without heading home with a bushel full of sweet, crunchy Asian pears. Like a cross between an apple and a pear, they are delicious simply sliced into wedges as a snack. But on this brisk January afternoon, my kids craved a warm treat, so we whipped up a batch of Asian pear sauce with a hint of ginger, and not a drop of refined sugar. An easy and fun twist on homemade applesauce: Easy Asian Pear Sauce.
Sesame Green Bean Salad
With the same joyful abandon that breaks through when adding sprinkles to cupcakes, my kids will scurry to sprinkle sesame seeds on everything from stir-fried veggies to chicken and rice. Subtle and nutty, sesame seeds added a wonderful Asian twist to one of our weeknight regulars: Green Bean Salad.
Easy Orange Granita
Like sparklers against a dark night sky, mandarin oranges at the local market add bright and cheerful pops of color to dreary winter days and herald the coming of Chinese New Year! Venturing forward into another year of trying new foods, we wanted to prepare our favorite �fast� food in a new way. With a little inspiration from our blended family, a combination of Chinese and Italian roots, we decided to make a classic Italian dish with our simple Asian ingredient: Easy Orange Granita Recipe.
A Simple Bok Choy Recipe
Last year I started to feature bok choy in clay pot rice � sweet and salty flavors mingling together with a few crispy bites of green was a taste my kids loved. But my goal this week was to get them to enjoy this friendly Asian cabbage in the same way that they love a side of broccoli � simple and green. The trick was lightly stir-frying the bok choy in freshly minced ginger and garlic, and adding a little touch of salty flavor with Tamari: Simple Bok Choy Recipe.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
2 Have you made a loan to one of your own people? Then forgive what is owed to you. You can't require that person to pay you back. The LORD's time to forgive what is owed has been announced. | 2 This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel the loan he has made to his fellow Israelite. He shall not require payment from his fellow Israelite or brother, because the LORD's time for canceling debts has been proclaimed. |

My Reviews & Blog
Hi Chris, you are so very talented and I have always loved watching people sing and dance, especially great dancers, and you fit right into the category. I could watch you dance all day!!! I wish you had a video of the song wet the bed, I believe it's called, and I've watched you sing it to many pretty young women on stage. I would love to see the video of this but haven't been able to find it...maybe there isn't one but sure would love it if you made one of it. It's such a sexy song and dance...just an idea. Keep up the terrific entertainment you give us all.

By Brian Liskai
(Attica, OH) Cap Henry has watched victory slip through his fingers several times over the years at Attica Raceway Park. On Friday night the Bellevue, Ohio driver wasn't to be denied as he drove to his first ever 410 sprint victory at the track on Edward Jones of Clyde Night. When early leader Rob Chaney packed a right rear wheel full of mud, Brandon Martin would inherit the lead in the O'Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprint feature. But, Henry, who started fifth, drove the bottom groove to perfection and took the lead on lap six and went on take the win aboard the Genzman Racing #53. "It felt like a 50-lapper there with five to go. I was holding my breath the last five laps. Man I can't thank this Genzman team enough. Marilyn, Guy, Jamie…they've been working so hard for me. I really screwed up some stuff of theirs during speedweek and Marilyn stuck with me and I can't thank her enough," said Henry beside the Ludwig Propane/Level Performance/Crown Battery/Automatic Fire Protection/Jet Express/Handy Grafix/Kear's Speed Shop/Sonny's Machine Shop backed sprint car. "Me and Guy (Myers, crew chief) have been working really hard at it. Last week we were really terrible so I guess we made up for it this week. There's been a lot of closes and maybes here and to finally be able to check out and get rolling is pretty awesome," added Henry. It was the final Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Championship Series event at Attica for 2014. Byron Reed would cut Chris Andrews' point lead in half with a strong third place finish as the series heads to Fremont Speedway. In the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models, Jeff Babcock would take the lead from Mike Bores on lap 11 and drove to his fifth win of the season. Babcock's 9th career Attica win would also vault him into the track's point lead. "We've gone back to basics and what we know how to do and that's helped things out a lot. I actually thought the top was going to be faster tonight but I got rolling on the bottom so I thought I'd just better keep her there. It's sometimes nice when you can start behind guys and find the fast lane verses starting on the front row and finding out too late," said Babcock beside his Best Performance Motorsports/Bulk Material Lift.com/Professional Drywall/Craig Miller Trucking backed #1. When Nate Dussel slipped off the track on the back stretch on lap three, Paul Weaver drove into the lead of the Foster's Auto Body 305 Sprint feature. Then Weaver narrowly avoided catastrophe with five laps to go as he made hard contact with a lapped car. Weaver would hold off Dussel to take his second win of the season and the 31st of his career at Attica. "This is the eighth race on that right rear tire. I got into that lapped car and I thought I had a tire going down. The car got real loose the last two laps. I swear they moved the tires in about five feet. The track wasn't even run in down there where the tires were. If that's what they want to do I'll play huggy pole but not every week," said Weaver beside his Hampshire Engines/Buckeye Mobile Coatings/Fostoria Mod Shop/Weaver Performance Karts and Parts/M&L Excavating/Tender Touch Car Wash/Sunny Farms Landfill backed #1w. "I have to thank Jamie (Miller) and my wife (Andrea) for setting the car up and Bob Hampshire and Dave Rice and all my sponsors…couldn't do this without them," added Weaver. It was also the last point night for the JLH General Contractor FAST Championship Series for the 305 sprints and with his second place finish Nate Dussel took the point lead by just five markers over John Ivy as that series heads to Fremont Speedway. For the second straight week the Fremont Fence Dirt Truck feature was a dandy. For the entire 15 laps Kent Brewer, Dan Roepke Jr., Matt Foos and John Ivy battled for the lead. Then, coming to the checkers a lapped truck got side ways in front of the leaders and everyone scrambled trying not to wreck. When the dust settled, Brewer had led every lap to score his second win of the season and the second of his career at Attica. "The wall and that truck got close on that last lap. Luck was on our side again tonight. It was close the last couple of laps. I heard someone and I thought I'd better nail it and get it going. This is a lot of fun. I have to thank all the guys who help on this thing. Rob Kramer, my wife…if it wasn't for her helping every week we wouldn't make it here. I have to thank all my family….my brothers and sisters…everyone that comes to help," said Brewer of his Fremont Fence/Kent's Transmissions/Hummel Auto Service backed #8kb.

text: Every year, the Association of Midwest Museums, holds an annual conference and this year, it's being held in St. Louis. I grew up in southern Illinois and spent more time in St. Louis than anyone else I knew. By the time I was sixteen, my parents were comfortable enough with my ability to get around the city by myself that I was allowed to go alone. (Growing up in a rural community, some people thought think that was is crazy). While I've never lived in St. Louis (not for lack of desire), I do have my favorite spots and I thought I would share a few of them for those of you who may be visiting the Gateway to the West next week.

WHAM13 - Search Results
Arcadia, N.Y. -- A man arrested in May on Felony Animal Cruelty Charges was indicted on 1st Degree Rape charges this week. Authorities say publicity surrounding the first arrest helped witnesses identify the rape suspect.
Animal Cruelty Case
Evan Welcher, now 27 of Arcadia, was first arrested by New York State Police for beating his American Bulldog, then tying it up to a tree outside and shooting it at least five times. 13WHAM News uncovered X-Rays showing bullets still lodged inside the dog. Witnesses told police Welcher began beating the dog because garbage was removed from the trash can.
When the dog urinated on a bed while it was being beaten Welcher reportedly dragged the dog outside and tied it to a tree.
Welcher later admitted to the crime and has since pled guilty in that case. He faces one year in the Wayne County Jail when he is sentenced in September.
News of Welchers arrest first broke in The Times of Wayne County on June 9. 13WHAMs News partner published a front page story and included Welchers mugshot.
Rape Investigation
While the community was learning about Welchers arrest Wayne County Sheriffs Office Investigators were hard at work on an open rape investigation. The incident happened in October days before Halloween at a house party in the Town of Arcadia.
"This allegedly occurred during a party, outside, next to a garage, on the ground in the pouring rain, explained Wayne County District Attorney Richard Healy. "The allegation here is that she was in fact unconscious at the time that he was having sex with her as the result of a date rape drug and alcohol.
In fact the victim learned about the rape from her friends who informed her the next day because some witnesses the assault.
"The condition of the victim was such that she did not know she was raped until she was told the next day that somebody saw her having sex, said Healy.
This man allegedly came out and raped a woman who was passed out on the lawn, said Ron Holdraker of the Times of Wayne County. The woman had no clue she was even being raped, three witnesses came out and pushed and shoved him off of her and he took off and they had no idea who he was.
Forensic evidence was gathered and the investigation heated up on June 9th when Evan Welchers photograph was published in The Times.
"I think they (investigators) were pretty well focused on this guy but when his mug hit the paper that kind of convinced (them), you know everybody's going - that's him, said Holdraker.
Two days later investigators questioned Welcher and while he denied any involvement in the alleged rape he did admit he was at the Halloween party where it happened. Court documents obtained by 13WHAM News reveal that Welcher also recognized the victim when investigators showed him her photograph.
Well there was definitely a lot of underage drinking going on, Welcher reportedly told investigators in an audio recorded interview. I dont recall making out with no girl. Sex I definitely would remember.
Investigators asked if Welcher would be willing to give them a written statement acknowledging that much, and if hed be willing to submit a DNA sample to clear him from the investigation.
No I dont wanna give a DNA sample or testament, no nothing, Welcher replied.
A Grand Jury Indicts Welcher
Evidence in the case was submitted to a Wayne County Grand Jury and Welcher was indicted this week on a 1st Degree Rape charge. If convicted he faces up to 25 years in prison.
The witnesses all told me they saw him on Facebook and then they saw him in the Times newspaper and that was the same guy that they saw raping this girl, said D.A. Healy.
D.A. Healy now has a pending motion in front of the court that is asking the judge to order that Welcher submit a DNA sample for testing. The judge has not ruled on that motion yet.
Welcher pled not guilty to the Rape charge and is presumed innocent.

"If the bees disappeared, then man would only have four years left to live. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more man."
"Colony collapse disorder is the subject of this environmental documentary. As bee colonies around the United States disappear, scientists and beekeepers struggle to find the reason why and ascertain the impact on humans and the planet. Longtime beekeepers and newcomers alike are faced with economic ruin as they try to keep their hives healthy and prevent this crisis from wreaking havoc on a world that depends on pollination to sustain agriculture."

WHAT: Bee Talker – The Secret World of Bees
gardendog: Honeylove Swarm Capture
"Chelsea and I drove out to Glendale a couple of weeks ago to respond to a couple calls on the Backwards Beekeepers rescue hotline and were able to capture two beautiful swarms. And just in time too. The exterminator showed up just as I was boxing up the second swarm from the hedge in front of a triplex. He wasn't thrilled about missing the opportunity to bill his client, but was happy that the bees would be given a new home. Apparently this wasn't the first time the Backwards Beekeepers beat him to a swarm."
Why We Need Bees and More People Becoming Organic Beekeepers
Bees teach us how to live our life in a way that by taking what we need from the world around us, we leave the world better than we found it.
Beekeeping is rising in popularity — from urban rooftops to backyard hives, the world is abuzz with interest in homemade honey. And who better to comment on the nature of bees than the former president of the Vermont Beekeepers Association, Ross Conrad.
MG: Describe briefly beekeeping as a business. How much energy do you focus on honey production?
RC: Honey production is not the focus of my beekeeping business at all. The focus is on caring for the honey bees and keeping the colonies as healthy and vibrant as possible. This means primarily reducing stress on the bees. In fact the only consistent observation that has been made of hives suffering from Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is that the bees in infected colonies are always suffering from stress that has caused the bee's immune systems to collapse. While there are numerous stresses that the bees must deal with that we cannot directly control (see below), there are numerous other stresses on the hive that we do have control over. Such stressors include reducing chemical contaminants in the hive, eliminating the presence of antibiotics in the hive, making sure that the bees are fed a healthy diet of honey and pollen from a wide variety of plants and that the hives have access to clean uncontaminated water. When the bees health needs are taken care of, a honey harvest tends to be the natural result.
MG: Let's say I'm an aspiring small-scale farmer, or beginning life on a homestead, or merely thinking of expanding my urban garden. Why should I keep bees, in terms of honey production, and their pollination benefits, etc?
RC: The biggest benefit honey bees provide is pollination. Pollination fees are what is keeping the beekeeping industry alive today. Honey is really a byproduct of pollination. Why should anybody keep bees? As suggested above, the life support systems of our planet are collapsing. The forests are disappearing, desert regions are growing, the climate is shifting so that some areas are getting dryer, other areas are getting wetter, some areas are getting colder, other areas are getting warmer, and our oceans are collapsing with large dead zones, acidification, giant "islands" of floating plastic debris, collapsing fisheries, and ocean animals that are dying in greater numbers every day from cancer. My observation is that it is our industrial civilization that is, if not the actual cause of all this destruction, it is certainly contributing to the devastation. As a member of this society then, I am partly responsible and part of the problem. This is a wonderful thing, for if I am part of the problem, then I have the responsibility and am empowered to be part of the solution.
One of the greatest lessons we learn from the honey bee is in observing how they go about making their "living" here on earth. As they go about their business collecting pollen, nectar, propolis and water (everything they need to survive) they do not harm or kill anything in the process. Unless they feel threatened and are forced to defend themselves, not so much as a leaf on a plant is harmed. In the process of taking what they need to survive they in turn give back more than they take and make the world a better place through the pollination the plants. This gift of pollination ensures that the plants can thrive and reproduce in vast numbers which produces a large variety of seeds, nuts, berries, fruits and vegetable in all shapes and sizes, which in turn ensures an abundance of food for all the rest of the insects, animals and people on the planet. This is the ultimate lesson that the bees teach us and challenge us to accomplish: How to live our life in a way that by taking what we need from the world around us we leave the world better than we found it.
Each one of us who takes care of the honey bees and makes sure that there is adequate habitat and flowering plants for the native pollinators in our regions, is indirectly through the good work of these pollinators, making the world a better place for all of creation. This is the kind of healing our beautiful blue-green planet needs desperately at this time in history.
Honeybees 'entomb' pollen to protect against pesticides
By sealing up cells full of contaminated pollen, bees appear to be attempting to protect the rest of the hive.
Honeybees are taking emergency measures to protect their hives from pesticides, in an extraordinary example of the natural world adapting swiftly to our depredations, according to a prominent bee expert.
Scientists have found numerous examples of a new phenomenon –bees "entombing" or sealing up hive cells full of pollen to put them out of use, and protect the rest of the hive from their contents. The pollen stored in the sealed-up cells has been found to contain dramatically higher levels of pesticides and other potentially harmful chemicals than the pollen stored in neighboring cells, which is used to feed growing young bees.
"This is a novel finding, and very striking. The implication is that the bees are sensing [pesticides] and actually sealing it off. They are recognizing that something is wrong with the pollen and encapsulating it," said Jeff Pettis, an entomologist with the US Department of Agriculture. "Bees would not normally seal off pollen."
But the bees' last-ditch efforts to save themselves appear to be unsuccessful – the entombing behaviour is found in many hives that subsequently die off, according to Pettis. "The presence of entombing is the biggest single predictor of colony loss. It's a defence mechanism that has failed." These colonies were likely to already be in trouble, and their death could be attributed to a mix of factors in addition to pesticides, he added…
Bees naturally collect from plants a substance known as propolis, a sort of sticky resin with natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal qualities. It is used by bees to line the walls of their hives, and to seal off unwanted or dangerous substances – for instance, mice that find their way into hives and die are often found covered in propolis. This is the substance bees are using to entomb the cells.

Research bees stolen from scientists trying to test effects of pesticides
A $3.3 million research project into colony collapse disorder (CCD), the phenomenon of honeybees mysteriously dying in droves, lost thousands of its test bees to thieves. Researchers at the Center for Neurosciences at Dundee University in Scotland, reported that the British black bees, contained in four hives, were taken on the morning of Sunday, May 8, 2011.
The monetary value of the bees, in the vicinity of $5,000-$6,000, is only part of the reason for the researchers' dismay at the bee burglary. "This theft will undoubtedly hamper our research," said lead researcher of the project Dr. Chris Connolly who called the theft "disheartening" for the research team.
The thieves apparently worked quickly and had some knowledge of bee handling. Connolly stated that "The bees were there when I arrived at work on Sunday morning but were absent when I went to work on them 20 minutes later." Police in the area are pursuing leads about a sighting of two men in a white van seen near the research center around the time of the theft. One of the men may have been wearing a beekeeper's helmet. Dr. Connolly described the stolen bees as "very unique" and suggested they would be easily identifiable if recovered.
Hmmm, let's play armchair detective and think about this.
Who would want to steal bees? It could be, as Dr. Connolly speculated, someone wanting the bees as breeding stock for the lucrative bee farming business? Large-scale bee businesses can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars by renting their hives to farmers for use in pollinating crops. With the decline in bee populations due to CCD, bees have become scarcer, resulting in a growing apian black market.
But unlike most bee thefts, this one took place at a university, not a bee farm. Is there another suspect? Remember, these bees were part of a research project investigating colony collapse disorder. Many scientists and environmentalists have speculated that CCD in bees, like white-nose syndrome in bats, afflicts pollinators because they come into close contact with plants sprayed with pesticides.
Who might want to prevent research that could potentially verify the link between the toxic chemicals used on our crops and a mysterious decline in bee populations? Is it outside the realm of possibility that the list of suspects might look something like this: http://npic.orst.edu/ingred/manuf.htm

And while the massive die off can't be pinned on any one issue – varroa mites, virulent fungal pathogens, and air pollution – this seems to be something that was within our control.

Plastic Surgeon Cuts 'Jewcan Sam' Ad
It's funny because Jews with big noses can't get girls!
A Miami Jewish plastic surgeon who likes to call himself Dr. Schnoz has made a video, directed by an Orthodox guy and starring a Jewish version of Blink 182 called The Groggers, in which a pre-nose job Jewish boy (kippah and all!) can't get the girl (blonde and implicitly shikse, naturally) because his nose is too big, a "Jewcan Sam" in fact. The video feels like an afterschool special in which the protagonist realizes that the girl is superficial, loses interest (oh and then she gets hit by a bus, like in Mean Girls, or something), and finds his soulmate, who also has a big nose. It sorta goes in that direction: shikse says, "I also only date football players," but the teacher, "Miss Bernstein," newly finds our hero attractive and gives him her number. Fin.
Fortunately, the video is too stupid to be harmful, even if that hasn't stopped the American Society of Plastic Surgeons from investigating the doctor for failing to "uphold the dignity and honor of the medical profession." I'm going to choose to see it more as representative of Miami, also the setting of Nip/Tuck. Good luck getting Peyton Manning, guys! But I hear he only dates real football teams.

Have lurked on Gardenweb for a while, and I have finally completed my renovation and wanted to pay it forward by giving my initial impressions of products I got. I have all hard flooring, tile in kitchen and bathroom, wood everywhere else. My wood flooring is a Mirage 5" Engineered in Knotty Walnut, in a cashmere finish. Until last night, this flooring is one of my favorite parts of the renovation. I've only moved in for about 2 weeks (still need furniture), but I have been dusting it and wiping it down (that contractor dust keeps coming back...) regularly so I can walk barefoot because that cashmere finish feels delicious on your feet. Got Engineered because I wanted the 5" planks which only came in Engineered. Thoughts re: Knotty Walnut finish - see picture. I was going for a modern rustic feel, and I think it hit the spot. It's a natural walnut finish, with lots of variation in the wood that has some beautiful grains. Yes there are knots with holes in them, but they seem to be coated nicely for the most part. To manage that, I asked my contractor to select the boards no or minimal "holes" for the living room (where there would be higher traffic) and also limit color variations (to keep the living room more neutral). I used the higher color variation and slightly more "hole-y" planks for my bedroom. Anything with too big a hole/imperfections that would be dirt collectors I asked him to put aside and not use (as I had ordered extra as per everyone's advice). Walnut, as woods go, is not particularly hard, and I have seens dents in the floor already, but it doesn't bother me so much as it's not super visible. I do not have pets or kids. Last night, however, I was happily Swiffering my floor (I still pick up ridiculous amounts of dust 2 weeks in despite daily dusting/vacuuming) when I felt a tug and found that one plank had split and a splinter had peeled off (!). I found another plank that has some cracks that look like they're on the verge of splitting. Both are located in the middle of the living room, so I'm kind of upset. Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here is the split/crack... The jagged part that hasn't peeled up yet is definitely lifted so that it would snag easily, maybe give splinters... |
- Posted by gamountains (My Page) on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 9:52
It's referred to wind shake which is considered a manufacturing issue. It surprises me to see this with an engineered hardwood. It should be an easy fix by replacing the boards. |
Thanks, gamountains... I have plenty of boards left, so that's not the issue, but would I have to rip up all the boards and base molding to replace the board? That's a lot of work that I'd have to bring the contractors back in for, and I'm worried about destroying the stuff already in place... |
- Posted by weedyacres (My Page) on Tue, Jul 15, 14 at 13:59
You should bring the contractor back in to do it (warranty issue) but they won't have to tear up the whole floor. They can remove a single board by slicing it down the center, longways, and pulling it out. The replacement board gets the lower part of it's groove side cut off so it can slip into the vacated space and be face nailed. It's a relatively simple task for a pro. |
I got a call back from Mirage, and they basically told me the same thing, to replace the board. They said it wasn't a warranty issue unless a lot of the boards start failing, in which case they would investigate... if boards start failing here and there, it's not their problem. They also recommended glue down for the replacement board instead if nailing. |

Photo Puzzle Plus FREE 1.0 Review
Create your own custom puzzles on your iPhone.
We're big fans of old-school jigsaw puzzles that you put together on your coffee table, so we were intrigued to test one out on our iPhone. Photo Puzzle Plus FREE lets you snap your own pictures to turn into a custom puzzle. While the interface navigation could be better, we were pleased by the puzzle results.
Photo Puzzle Plus FREE opens with a plain interface. Three menu buttons reside at the top of the screen, right above a banner ad, so you have to be careful where you tap. The Upgrade button, of course, lets you upgrade to a paid version, and the New button takes you to the page to create a new puzzle. But the Restore button, well, for lack of a better word, puzzled us. We tapped it throughout the puzzle-creation process and nothing happened. And there wasn't a help feature in sight to offer guidance. But to create a new puzzle, all you have to do is come up with a name, tap the camera icon to snap a picture, or tap the folder icon to choose from a few select picture designs. Sadly, you can't choose any existing pictures from your Camera Roll. But once we snapped a picture, we used the slide bar to select the number of puzzle pieces, which starts at 2 x 2 and goes up to 7 x 7. We saved it, tapped Go, and were tasked with sliding the pieces around until the puzzle was complete. Even a 3 x 3 puzzle was pretty challenging.
While we weren't impressed by Photo Puzzle Plus FREE's design and navigation, the actual puzzle part was fun and surprisingly challenging. If you're into puzzles, we recommend you give this app a try.

Hey all, I'm interested in these 3 roses: 1. Love's Promise Please don't worry about the zone - I overwinter my roses in the garage. I'm looking for: 1. Fragrance Thanks in advance for letting me know if these roses would be great roses. I won't be able to answer this post for awhile as I'm going in for surgery for cancer (only stage 1 - so not too much to worry about.) Thanks everyone! Pictures are always welcome!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I can't help you with these roses, but I want to wish you the best when you undergo your surgery. Come through with flying colors so you can come back to all of us here with your infectious enthusiasm for roses. I'll be thinking of you. Diane |
Carol - I wish you the best too. You are a special lady. So hoping everything goes great and you will be back here soon. Will be thinking of you and your family. |
- Posted by kentucky_rose Z6 KY (My Page) on Mon, Feb 3, 14 at 9:21
Carol, good luck with your surgery! I had Dolly Parton years ago. The blooms were big and very fragrant. My dolly would get some powdery mildew and the bush grew some, but not great. I've thought about giving it another try, but haven't. |
- Posted by the_bustopher 6, MO (My Page) on Mon, Feb 3, 14 at 9:47
Good luck with your surgery. I hope they caught it in time. I used to have a Dolly Parton. It had large flowers that were quite fragrant. I have Love's Promise now. It is a dark red that is better in cool temperatures. It does have a fragrance. It doesn't care for our heat all that much but isn't so poor that I would get rid of it although I have thought about it. |
Carol, I am a 26-year survivor and wish you all the best in surgery and recovery. Here on the west coast I had a similar experience to the others regarding Dolly Parton. Big, fragrant blooms on a smallish bush with too many disease problems for my no-spray garden. |
- Posted by pat_bamaZ7 7 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 3, 14 at 11:16
Hey Carol, Sending prayers your way for a quick recovery! Please check in when you feel up to it to let us know you are doing okay. I've been admiring Dee-lish in the catalogs and am really hoping none of my local nurseries have it this year…I'm trying to slow down, but really don't think I could resist that one. I know you've heard me sing the praises of Dolly down here. She is a large, vigorous bush and is stellar in fragrance, beauty and rebloom in my climate. I've grown Love's Promise for 3 or 4 years now, and she's a good rose here. Starts out as an almost black bud and slowly opens to reveal rich velvety petals of non-fading true red with a very dark smoky edge. Blooms are very big and full, but rather flat, and as they age, eventually open fully to show bright yellow stamens. Fragrance seems to vary a lot in intensity…from very strong to only moderate depending on time of year, day, weather, etc. I like the scent, though…smells like berries to me…different scent from most of my other roses. I have her in full sun all day…would probably benefit from a couple of hours of afternoon shade. She will bloom in hot weather here, but blooms are not as full (sometimes she will have barely double blooms in high heat). Hard to capture her color in pictures, but here are a few of my attempts: Newly opened bloom, a partially open one & a black bud Picture of the bush behind Peace Showing off her stamens |
Carol, blessings on successful surgery and complete, rapid recovery! I grew Love's Promise many years ago and never perceived any scent from it, but I seem immune to "raspberry scent" in anything other than over ripe raspberries. Dolly Parton received that name because Joe Winchell, who created it, said it was "big, buxom" and he loved holding "one in each hand and burying my nose between them". Yup, "dirty old man"! It did smell wonderfully to me. I haven't seen Dee Lish yet. Kim |
Best wishes cold zoner ! |
Dolly Parton did well in CT (z6b) but is extremely prone to mildew here in SoCal. It is not a great repeat bloomer but the blooms are impressive and very fragrant. Good luck on your surgery. |
My Dolly Parton doesn't seem to be too mildewy for me here, but I might have gotten lucky with where I put her. She's got a pretty fragrance, that's for sure. Best to you and your recovery. I am very happy to read all the survivor stories. |
Dolly is a beautiful rose. Years ago some members here wrote about Dolly's fine qualities -- comparing the rose to Dolly, voluptuous, etc. I shovel pruned it when I stopped spraying. I am not sure what you zone would be like. Good luck with your surgery. Sammy |

Thanks Diane for the kind words. I'm back now; but still not feeling great. They got all the cancer; but I've been in a lot of pain. Oh well, this too will pass. :) Thanks Sara-Ann. I can't stay up for very long at a time - so where would I go on the internet? - the rose forum!!! Nice to be back. Kentuckyrose - Thanks for you kind wishes. Sounds like the good outweighs the cons for Dolly. Thanks Bustopher - Yeah, they said that they got everything, and it's clean as a whistle. :) Both roses seem worthy of a try. Love's Promise might like our cooler temps here. Petaloid - 26 year cancer survivor!!! Awesome!!! That's beating the odds!! Dolly - disease - yeah, but then if it doesn't work out - gives me a chance to buy a different rose. I'm hearing the message from everyone - but I guess I don't want to listen. LOL Thanks Pat - I am finding the recovery difficult. Getting up and down have me screaming away. LOL - but we finally found a way to accomplish the up and down with less pain. Wish I wasn't such a slow learner. :) Yeah, Dee-lish looks wonderful. We should both get it and compare. :) Really appreciate the different view points of Dolly - such lovely pictures. The bush shots are great - but I love the last one the most. Thanks Kim - I sure do love to get prayers and blessings - so thanks!! I have The Alnwick rose and it's raspberry scent blows me away. So I'm soooo looking forward to another raspberry fragrance. Nice to hear the story of the Dolly Parton rose - I wonder if he checked with Dolly, herself, before he named it. She might have found this funny. Thanks, Susan! It is pretty cold here - about minus 14.5 F without windchill. I really appreciate the kind thoughts. Thanks, Henry - more disease info - oh well, I can't say that you guys didn't warn me! :) Thanks for your kind wishes. Dr.Pekemon - Good disease! That's another one for Dolly. Thanks for the kind wishes - I too am glad to hear the survivor stories. Thanks Sammy - I'm braced for the poor disease performance - but I'm going to try it. Who knows? I'll let you all know this summer how it does. I'm so pooped now - I'm off to lie down. Hopefully the screaming is gone for good (lots of staples and it felt like I really tore something inside once - hoo boy that hurt) Carol |
I'm so glad to hear things went well for you, Carol! Praying for a speedy reduction in pain and a quick recovery! Dolly Parton is gorgeous! It has huge blooms and an intense color. It;s won Queen several times locally for different people so I can tell you it should be fairly hardy. But much like most HTs it's a little bit of a diva and will need spraying to stay clean. If you love the bloom go for it. If it flops or is too much of a problem you can always get something different next year. I got Dee-Lish last fall from a friend but it was late in the season and it never got the chance to bloom so I can't really tell you anything about it yet. It's out there in the arctic cold pot ghetto and I'm hoping it survives! |
I've been waiting with anticipation to hear from you. So happy that things are going well and second what Seil said for a speedy recovery and pain reduction! Praying for your good health and beautiful roses in abundance! |

I ordered Dee-Lish from Edmund's but got a email back from them that it was not available due to a "crop failure". Anyone else having a problem getting this rose? |
Welcome back, Carol! You're welcome! Absolutely, Dolly, or her representatitve, had to give permission in writing before the name could be used so the introducer was released from legal liability. Even if you wanted to register and commercially introduce a rose named for YOU, there would have to be a written permission to use the name. When Harkness introduced Margaret Merrill, "the ficticious beauty consultant for Oil of Olay", they had to find a lady with that name and obtain her permission to legally call the rose that name. The Howard Rose Company wanted to name a rose for Henry Ford in the forties. There had already been a Henry Ford rose in the twenties and Ford denied his permission, so they found another Henry Ford who gave HIS permission. Before I could register the rose, "Anne Belovich", Anne had to send me an email granting me permission to name the rose for her, which I had to then submit to the IRAR/ ARS before they would accept the registration. So, you can be certain Dolly said, "yes", or the rose wouldn't have her name. Kim |

Thanks, Seil! I think I'm doing a little better - but if I compared myself to Friday night (when I came home) - I would probably find myself in substantially less pain. Thanks for the nod to Dolly Parton - yay!! Dee-Lish - guess we'll have to see. This must be a new rose? Thanks Sara-Ann - Prayers are soooo welcome! Thanks for your kind thoughts. :) Wirosarian - oh, really?...hmmm...that's too bad. I haven't heard yet if mine is available. I think I ordered that one from Hortico. Thanks, Kim! I guess I could have figured that one out by myself. :) Let's blame the pills (for pain) LOL Thanks, Pat! Yay for prayer power!! Kentucky-rose - Thanks so much!! Now I want to do as well as Petaloid!! |
Hello. I hope you feel better and better every day! I have Love's Promise - it's called Red Cross here. I bought it because of the hype about its supposed scent and continuous blooming. I love the look of the flower but it's barely scented and it's a sparse boomer so far. I'm thinking of replacing it with Firefighter. |
