Matt, have you ever tried adding some manitoba flour to the mix, so the dough doesn't rip so easy ? wen taking the VPN training Giulio talked to me in private about sourdough fermenting using 10 to 20% of manitoba flour, this helps the acid in the SD not to completely destroy the gluten.
Problem solved. Nice job and nice pox!How was the taste comparison of the 2 pies?AZ
Visually it appears that there is much more structure and oven spring to the CF dough. The same day appears more bread like.Amazing how much apppearance correalates with flavor.AZ

City holds off on VFW donation for poker machine license fees
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 8214 Cmmdr. Richard Haugh had originally sought a refund of the license fees. Haugh has said the fees were paid by the previous commander despite the fact that he made his intention known to remove the machines, which he viewed as an unsavory source of revenue for the post. Meanwhile, the post is in debt, Haugh has said, and is struggling to stay afloat.
At Tuesday's meeting, Ward 3 Alderman Patrick Long proposed using the funds from the legislative fund, since he and other aldermen are also legislators and the funds haven't been necessary to hire a representative in Concord.
He proposed tabling the proposal, which was approved 8-5.

EricaHairAuburnNormal HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairShampoo Ok..conditioner SucksI bought these in the smaller bottles because i wanted something to last until christmas when i get aveda shampoo/conditioner. I recently colored my hair red and need it to last as long as possible. i used the shampoo and conditioner together the first time and the smell i actually liked especially since when you add in other hair products they all have their own stronger smell anyways. the shampoo lathered fine for me. my problem was with the conditioner which made my normally shiny and healthy hair sticky feeling and hard to brush. next time i used the shampoo with a different conditioner and the shampoo was nice.posted Dec 16, 2011Link to this post
MichelFort Lauderdale, FL USGreat If You Have The Brazilian Keratin TreatmentI've only used it once, but I love it so far. The lather was great for me and the way that my hair felt after using it was soft. It doesn't really have a fragrance, that would have been an added plus, but I'm really looking for a good shampoo that will not strip the Brazilian Keratin Treatment that I have in my hair. This works perfect for that!posted Oct 22, 2009Link to this post

Top Definition
A "triple sixer" as in 666 or "related to the devil", is a generic blanket term for a "bad person", possibly coined by Aesop Rock. Stemming from the stereotypical christian ideology; devils and demons being evil and god and angels being 'good'. Anyone who might try to hold you or your ambitions back from something positive happening or some progress being made is also "triple sixer". Just anyone negative to you.
All these fuckin' triple sixers make it hard to even walk around on the streets anymore man!

I melted the edge of my credit-card by whipping it out so quickly when tales of Monkey Island was first announced. Never before had I so willingly given a developer my money, and it was with great anticipation that I awaited the release date.
To prepare for the release, I re-read Treasure Island, Return to Treasure Island, Silver, and On Stranger Tides. I also rewatched the POTC movies, listened to the Monkey Island Soundtracks, and replayed Curse of Monkey Island.
Full Disclosure of Reviewer Bias:
I rate the original games, from worst to best, as follows -
Escape from Monkey Island - This bizarre entry in the series dropped the semi-serious nature of the storylines from the original games for full-on satire and social commentary. With a maddening interface, continuity botches (that were supposed to fix other continuity issues), and the most annoying minigame ever, this entry illustrated what NOT to do with the Monkey Island Franchise.
The Secret of Monkey Island - A classic that introduced the endearing characters of the Monkey Island Universe. With clever scripting, humorous dialogue, catchy themes and memorable characters, this game could have stood alone through the ages - thankfully, the developers had more up their sleeve.
The Curse of Monkey Island - A revolution in the Monkey Island Series, this game introduced painterly landscapes and characters, perfect voice casting and music, clever puzzles, and continuity fixes. Succesfully maintained the tricky balance between humor and dark undertones that existed in the previous entry.
LeChuck's Revenge: Monkey Island 2 - The gold standard. This game successfully evolved the series, giving much greater depth to the characters and their conflicts. Each of the existing characters had aged and moved on from their "Secret" origins, and technical enhancements changed the nature of how we listened to our games. The soundtrack was endlesslyl hummable, the puzzles devilishly sadistic, and the spooky/haunting undertones pervaded the entire game. The ending generated endless controversy, fueling speculation and discussions about the meaning of it all for years.
So how does Tales of Monkey Island: The Launch of the Screaming Narwhal hold up?
The Launch of the Screaming Narwhal uses a plot device as old as the hills to start off the action - starting at the end of the previous adventure. We're in familiar territory - Guybrush is about to foil the latest voodoo plot hatched
by the evil Poxed-Pirate LeChuck, and in typical Threepwood-fashion botches it.
The introductory sequence serves as a capable tutorial, introducing us to the new Telltale Interface and walking us through a few simple puzzles, before cutting to the opening credits, Monkey Island theme, and washing up on Flotsam Island, where the remainder of the game takes place.
The player is immediately given a number of tasks, and is rarely left standing around wondering what to do. Stuck? You've usually got something else to try.
In this regard, Narwhal is scripted tightly enough to allow the player to determine what order to tackle their challenges, and the story remains internally consistent.
Dialogue options might occasionally cause you to crack a smile, but few lines are laugh-out-loud funny. (Notable exception - "You've got spunk in you, kid! Pirate Spunk!" "Ew!")
Earlier games in the series seemed to offer more choice, and greater potential for silly or spooky options. Hopefully, more dialogue options will be available in future episodes.
The puzzles can be deviously tricky, but never felt cruel or unfair. (The one exception might be the Marquis De Singe/Messed up Idol puzzle, but it seems I had more trouble with this one than other folks.) While the map puzzles may feel a tad repetitive, this reminded me of old-school adventure gaming and didn't really bother me. All-in-all, solid effort in puzzle work.
Script - 2/2
Dialogue - 1/2
Puzzles - 2/2
Average: 1.6
Art Direction
The art direction REALLY shines in the introduction to the game, with a beautiful spooky storm, rain, and lighting effects. Character models are superb, and the environment gave off the perfect Monkey Island Vibe.
Unfortunately, this took a hit once we arrived at Flotsam Island. The brooding atmosphere is lost and replaced with a sunny locale. This can certainly work on a tropical island, but the 3d environments and characters when brightly lit, look plastic-y. This ends up evoking memories of Escape from Monkey Island.
Main characters are beautifully rendered. Guybrush calls back to his "LeChucks Revenge" wardrobe, LeChuck is the devil incarnate, Elaine and the Voodoo Lady are gorgeous, and the Marquis De Singe (a character I was skeptical about) fairly reeks with personality.
Unfortunately, lesser characters are standard Telltale NPC's - Mr Potato Head models with fairly generic traits. Their names are easily forgotten as soon as their purpose in the story is exhausted.
Characters -
Main - 2/2
Secondary - 1/2
Environments - 1/2
Average: .66
The music of Narwhal has the familiar Monkey Island themes going on, but felt strangely derivative of the original themes. While the old standbys are good, I couldn't help feeling that the original music didn't feel...erm...original. Hopefully later episodes will have more standout themes that I can whistle in the shower.
The voice work in the game was excellent, thanks for the welcome return of Dominic Armato. Other voice actors also filled their roles well, particularly the actor providing the voice of the Marquis De Singe.
Sample quality could have been improved, but overall this game stands up well.
Music - 1/2
Voices - 2/2
Average: .75
The game was unfortunately marred by a few technical issues. The new interface (necessary to navigate the 3d interface), while serviceable, was not a joy to work with. The "click-and-drag" mouse option was difficult to use, and the keyboard option is not particularly friendly. A true "click-to-move" option such as the old Monkey Island games or the more recent Sam and Max games would be a welcome addition, "Cinematic-Display" be damned.
Also, a number of users (myself included) ran into technical issues with the display either upon startup or after resuming the game after making settings changes.
Fortunately, Telltale support was able to find a solution to my problem within 20 minutes of submittingthe ticket. Kudos to the Telltale Support staff!
Interface 0/2
Issues 1/2 (with 2 indicating no problems)
Average: .25
Judgement, Overall (NOT an overall Average): 1.4/2 (or 70%)
What worked Best:
The introduction had exactly the right tone.
Please give us more night scenes! Monkey works best when it's dark and spooky.
The puzzles were definitely Monkey Island, and I'd love to see more brain-teasers like the "Ninja Doll" puzzle and the "Cheese Wheel" puzzle.
Despite my skepticism, the Marquis De Singe was a show-stealer - give us more memorable characters like this!
I can't even begin to describe how much I loved the Flotsam Island Map - the zoom-out is a beautiful touch!
Inventory combination also worked great. Thanks for bringing this back!
General Advice to Telltale:
The story is serviceable to start with, but needs to ground itself more in "pirate reality." Monkey Island works when it's a serious pirate story with bizzare anachronisms (like Grog Machines).
It's harder to buy into when the spooky/voodoo atmosphere is lost, or when pirates don't feel especially piratey. (For examples of GOOD Pirates, see Mancomb Seepgood, Esteban, or Largo LaGrande. Bad examples include Ignatius Cheese, Davey Newspaperman, or Crimpdigit.)
The art direction seems solid, but could stand to have more
memorable "Lesser" characters. For an example of how to do this right, look at ANY character from LeChucks Revenge or Curse of Monkey Island. You could look at any of the background characters and know that they had a piratey backstory. Pirate Glassblowers are hard to take seriously.
The interface needs serious work - at no point did I enjoy guiding Guybrush through the TOMI world - with the exception of the map screen, which was point-and-click.
Greater Dialogue Choice/Snappier Lines will make future episodes more memorable.
What was Missed:
Memorable Background Characters. (Men of Low Moral Fiber, REAL Pirates in Bars)
"Meanwhile" scenes...(seeing developments going on elsewhere keep the idea of LeChuck front-and-center, and build anticipation of a future confrontation)
Whistlable Music - paying homage to the past is great, and all of the themes that need to be there were...unfortunately, the music called back a bit *too* much to previous tracks. I'd like to see something new.
Screaming Narwhal is a fun diversion, but doesn't quite stand up to Sam and Max Season2, where all cylinders were firing.
If anything, the episode suffers most from being the "First Episode."
The greatest thing that could benefit future episodes is an examination of the "Tone" of the first 3 monkey island games.
In this episode, I feel like Telltale was aiming for a combination of "LeChucks Revenge" and "Curse", but instead achieved a combination of "Secret" and "Escape."
Still, a fun ride that leaves me anticipating more!

About Easton
We Don't remember whether it was Easton that singlehandedly invented the carbon fiber handlebar. But even if wasn't, what they indisputably accomplished was giving cyclists across the globe the confidence to ride carbon bars on a day in, day out basis. Whether you prefer a flat bar or a riser bar, Easton's CNT nanotechnology permits them to build carbon handlebars no less stout and durable than alloy bars. And Easton applies the same concept -- freaky light mated to freaky strong -- to their carbon seatposts and stems.

FindAGrave, as I understand it, is a graves registration database. That means that memorials listed as 'Burial Unknown' should not be on the site longer than 30 days past D.O.D. The site isn't called 'Find the Name of a Deceased Person.' It seems that some are confused about these things. If you are one of those, see the FAQ's.
If I have made a demonstrable error of fact on any of my postings, please let me know in order that I may correct it. As many of the stones are old, worn, and weathered, I have done my best to interpret the information thereon. If I'm not reasonably sure of the information, I won't post it.
With very few exceptions, all my interment data comes from photographs of the individual's gravestone done by me in the field.
If you see an image you would like a copy of, let me know and I'll be happy to provide one. There is but one proviso however. Any image provided must be for your personal use only and is not to be uploaded to another web site.
On the subject of 'Relationship Links' and 'S.A.C.'s', please read the following carefully. And use the correct procedure!!! I will be happy to make links and corrections.
Please double check your suggestions for accuracy before submitting them. Hopefully you will have a reasonably reliable source for the information, AND HAVE PROVIDED IT!!! BTW, most web sites are not sources. For the most part, they contain information somebody uploaded. The source is where the information came from. For example, if someone on a web site claims to quote from the New York Times, the NYT is the source (along with date of publication, edition, page number, etc.), NOT THE WEB PAGE. If it helps, try thinking of this as if you were writing a term paper. (Does either 'MLA' or 'CMS' sound familiar???)
I have been deluged recently with suggestions and requests to make relationship links which simply cannot be possible. When you ask me to link a child to parents who would have been 3 years old at the time of the child's birth, something's very wrong somewhere. Of course, if you wish, I can easily post anything you submit and attach your name to the erroneous information. There is enough bad data on the internet as it is and I really don't want to be adding to the problem. But if you insist... Please keep in mind, just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true.))) Since FindAGrave rules prohibit the use of external links (they can go dead or change over time), I won't create them.
I have 'isolated' the bulk of the 2 preceding paragraphs with ((())) because the current 'Edit' system no longer provides for the submission of documentation and has thus made them irrelevant. It seems that now the addition of any data is more important than the addition of accurate data which has been properly sourced. Previously, when someone submitted an edit, it was via a message which provided a text format for submission of documentation which I could then 'copy and paste' to add the data, along with the documentation, and the name of the member who submitted the information. As it stands now, I would have to message everyone who submits a change with a request for a source and wait for a reply. That reply might never come and the data would automatically be added after 21 days anyway. I.M.O.
Please do not ask for transfers solely for the purpose of adding biographies and making links. If you submit information from a reliable source, a source you have provided, I will add it. Keep in mind you can always create a virtual cemetery.

You have Carrie Thelma Seals Lane as Leroy Lane's spouse. She is actually his daughter-in-law. Also under her stone picture you have Leroy Lane (my grandfather) as her spouse. It's actually Vernon Lane. Leroy was married to Olive Eudora and no one else. Please correct.

Oliver Arnold & Fenner Arnold
Dear TomKat,
I was researching Ann Arnold Tew and saw that Oliver and Fenner were listed as her siblings. Both were born after the parents death.
They might belong to different Arnolds.
Just thought I would mention this.

TC--Thanks for adding the link. Would you get the other Croots too? I'm trying to get all my people linked.
I was just reading your piece on the Bolmer site in Martinsville. I'm going to look next week. OMG. Someone actually took the grave stones for paving! Too bad more people don't believe in ghosts.

Pvt Ambrose Lindsey
I noticed that you posted the picture related to this grave. Ambrose Lindsey was the father of my Great Grandmother. Her name was Lucretia Lindsey Staub. There is a marker at Geeseytown that shows all the children of Ambrose and Harriet Geesey Lindsey. It appears the marker was placed while most of the children were still alive. I wanted to ask if there is an actual burial plot for Lucretia or is the marker the only record. I'm trying to find her death date. The last record I can find of her was the her marriage to my Great Grandfather Joseph W. Staub. I know she had a son (my grandfather) in 1889 and a daughter in 1891 but nothing past that point.
Thank you so much.

Mildred Croot and the others
TC--I've linked everyone in my mother's generation (knew them all but Mildred who died young) except for Mildred, Harold, and Ernie Croot all of whm I hope you will transfer to me. I do realize I am fussing with this now and you are doing something completely different more interesting to you. I would like all the Croots at Evergreen if I might have them.
The three above need to be linked to their parents--father 104732434 and mother 18668201.
Clara Croot Terry needs her father added.Only her mother is there now. Maybe link her husband Oscar too.
Thank you for your kind help in posting them all in the first place.

Hello again. I've been linking family members and I wanted to remind you about transferring Mildred Croot to me.
Actually, if you wouldn't mind, it would be great if would transfer all Croots in Evergreen, Basking Ridge, NJ to me. It is a family plot and they are all related and I'd like to make all the relationships clear.

Stephanie Jamie poses with her friend Chick-fil-A manager Chris Pratt at her Spirit Day fundraiser.
Holy Cow! It's an expression I use a lot…and have been using even more lately since it's appropriate on so many levels! In August, we got news one of my twin daughters – Stephanie (19), had been selected to compete in skiing at the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games in South Korea! Holy Cow, this was huge news! She is one of just four athletes from North Carolina to get this honor! We spread her good news far and wide! Every Saturday, the girls and I meet their grandparents (Joan and Ray Cress) at Chick-fil-A for a delicious breakfast before heading out for a fun morning of shopping. It's become a tradition, one I'm so glad my parents started. The staff knows us and we feel at home there. When we told Stephanie's news to Chris Pratt, the manager at our favorite Chick-fil-A in Winston-Salem, NC, he was excited and offered to help raise funds for Stephanie. He said he loved our family and wanted to do something special for her! To my amazement, the store held a Spirit Day in November in Stephanie's honor with a percentage of the day's sales being donated to Special Olympics. In November, we were just floored when Doug Roberts, owner of the Ski & Tennis Station in Winston-Salem, donated skis, poles, bindings and boots molded especially for her feet to Stephanie! He really engaged Stephanie during the fitting too and had her talking and smiling. He's very excited about her trip and wants updates while we are there. The Bixby Fun Center & General Store in Advance has Stephanie's photo plastered all over their walls. Kim, the owner, held a huge stew fundraiser one Saturday morning and I think our entire town came out for it. The employees at the Wal-Mart know us and tell us they've seen her on TV and ask us when she's leaving and wish her luck every time we're in there. Holy Cow! We've gotten such amazing support from our community, members of our church, our co-workers, everyone!. It's truly been overwhelming!

4 months later we've finally taken some updated photos of our new store in Portland! Here you go! Feel free to stop by at 1229 SE Nehalem Street, Wednesday-Friday 12PM-6PM, or Saturdays from 11AM-4PM.
As you may have noticed, our website looks a little different! Over the past couple months we've been upgrading it to new software, and about a week ago we went live. So far it's been working great! Please let us know if you run into any issues.
It's been a very busy year! In May we moved into our new storefront in the Sellwood neighborhood of southeast Portland, Oregon. Initially we just needed a location at which we could store and ship hives, but we decided to turn it into a small storefront for our products. The response has been fantastic! Portland was clearly in need of a local beekeeping supply shop focused on the ever-growing population of backyard beekeepers! In addition to selling our products, we hold classes there as well! Our next class can be found here: Beekeeping Classes
Here's a shot of the front of our shop:
We've just realized that this is the only picture we've taken of our new shop in the almost 4 months we've been there! We'll make another post this week with some more updated photos.
Last, but not least, all of our top bar hive and Warre hive products are 10% off through September, 15th! If you are looking to start beekeeping in 2012, or if you want to expand your apiary, now is your chance to get a good deal!
What a year so far! Our bees are doing great and so is business!
Here's a video of some of our happy Warre, Langstroth and Top Bar Hives in our back yard on February 21st, 2011:
In addition, we've been working tirelessly to keep up with the influx of orders we've been receiving since December. By the end of the week we expect to have a lot of top bar hives in stock, and by next week we should be caught up entirely with Warre hives! I could not be more excited about the number of beekeepers looking into alternative methods such as Top Bar Hives and Warre hives. Here are some photos of the production process:

Assembled Warre hives ready to go!

What a holiday season! Aspiring beekeepers throughout the country (and the world!) received our beautiful top bar hives, Warre hives and other goodies under their Christmas trees. We're very excited about all of the new beekeepers joining the ranks, and while it's good for our business, it's also wonderful for the world and the honey bees we adore.
Our dear friend, Zoe of Zoe PDX, has created an amazing new logo for us! Check it out, and please let me know what you think:
Stay tuned for other exciting news this week as we add additional items to our product line, add beekeeping events and classes to our busy spring schedule, and give you an additional peek into what goes on behind the scenes here as we work to bring you the highest quality top bar beekeeping equipment in the world!

Trap Outs: As the swarm season dies down, bee removal season picks up when unwitting homeowners notice bees that have taken up residence in their walls, trees, mailboxes or any other cavities they find suitable. Much like swarm removal, one must discerning about trap out selection.
For those who are unaware, a trap out is a method for removing honey bees from a cavity (usually a wall). Rather than cutting the wall open and removing all of the bees and combs, the beekeeper uses a trickery to get the bees out. By sealing up all of the bees entrances but one, and then placing a screen funnel over the last entrance (point facing outward), the bees can move out of the wall but can't find their way back in.
Once the funnel is in place, the beekeeper hangs or rests a small honey bee colony (ideally queenless with eggs from another colony) next to the funnel. As the bees give up hope on moving back into their wall, they join forces with the colony that has suddenly appeared. After a month or two, all of the bees should be out of the cavity and in your nucleus box.
Here I am doing a trap out in Portland, OR:
Do note that the first couple weeks the bees will almost certainly find new entrances, making it vitally important that you check up on them weekly to ensure the rogue entrances get sealed and the one way exit continues to function properly. Otherwise the process is fruitless.
Once the bees are out of the wall the funnel can be removed and the colony outside now gets the opportunity to go back into the wall to rob out as much honey as possible. If this is during fall, you can bet that the bees will be ravenous for an easy honey source. After a week or two of robbing the hole can be sealed up and you can take your bees home.
This is a time consuming process that can easily go beyond the scope of work that you anticipated. Be sure to consider all of the factors involved with the trap out, such as: access to the property; height of the entrance; number of entrances; methods of sealing the entrances (duct tape, foam, screen, etc.). More than once have I quickly looked at a trap out site, figured it looked easy enough, only to find that it took me 4-5 hours to get the entrances sealed! If it's high up or difficult to access, be doubly sure that a cut out isn't a better option for you and the customer.
What a start to the year these first five months have been! After a Winter of building top bar hives and Warre hives in our small shop and getting our store ready for Spring, never in our wildest dreams could we have been prepared for the outpouring of orders and support we'd receive from our friends, family and customers.
By December I was just barely staying caught up with orders, building hives in my shop for hours after coming home from the office. January made it clear that we needed help, and by February we finally got our wood supplier involved in the construction process. In March, however, the floodgates opened, and we found ourselves with dozens of orders outstanding at any given time. Thankfully our customers have been overwhelmingly understanding of our situation, and we were largely able to get everyone their hives in time for the arrival of their bees.
The last two months have been spent streamlining our construction, order and shipment processes, as well as improving the quality of our products. Today violin maker David Rivinus is part of our team, helping us to design new products and improve on their functional and aesthetic quality. Additionally, beginning in late June, all of our top bar hives and Warre hives and components will be precision crafted at a local mill here in Portland, Oregon. All of our hives will continue to be constructed from locally harvested FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) or salvaged Western Red Cedar.
All of our top bar hives and Warre hives will now be constructed using 7/8″-1″ Western Red Cedar using all screw construction and dado/rabbet joints, making for much sturdier and longer lasting products than most of our competitors offer. We have hired a professional photographer to update all of our product photos to reflect the new design of our hives. Stay tuned for the updates.
Due to all of these positive changes, we are excited to be able to offer the highest quality, competitively priced top bar hives, Warre hives and accessories in the world. In addition, we will have enough hives in stock at any given time to ship them within 3 days after your order. With hive construction taking place at our mill, we will be able to focus our efforts on innovating and adding new products to out top bar and Warre hive lineup in preparation for the holiday season and the rush of activity during the Spring 2011 beekeeping season.
Today we have shipped top bar hives and Warre hives to 38 states, Canada and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. We cannot thank our customers enough for supporting us as we strive to provide the highest quality products and customers service to the world's foundationless top bar hive and Warre hive beekeeping community!
After an early, extreme spring warm up, the past few weeks have been very cold and wet. We even covered our tomatoes last night just in case. We have worried, hoping the bees would have enough honey reserves for the extended chill. So far, all seem well enough.
In March Matt had the opportunity to take part in Gunther Hauk's beekeeping conference at the Portland Waldorf School. We provided the bees at the event in our most thriving Warre hive as seen in the picture below:
The unseasonable warmth last month had Matt out catching swarms regularly, 11 or so in total, but we haven't seen any more or had a call in a couple weeks. We did manage to repopulate some empty hives and get swarms to the first few customers that have ordered from us. (For those who are unaware, we provide swarms to customers as we are able – this is especially helpful for those using Warre and Top Bar Hives!)
We expected that hive orders would pick up in spring, but we never expected how many we would receive! We feel very blessed by all of our customers and folks that have attended our classes and appreciated our products and offerings. In order to fulfill all of our orders we found need to further streamline our production and have recently partnered with David Rivinus of Rivinus Violins, who has kindly offered his epic artistry and stunning craftsmanship to our hives. We continue to maintain the quality of our hives, and with an eye to the future and with David's innovative ideas, we have new plans in store for Top Bar and Warre beekeeping.
While it's been a few months, we thought it would be appropriate to announce on the blog that we have a new more aesthetically pleasing and function leg design on our horizontal top bar hives. Check it out:
While we diligently work to get caught up on outstanding top bar and Warre orders, we want you all to be aware that we also offer hive tools, accessories and protective equipment, making us your one-stop shop for foundationless beekeeping supplies! In addition, we are now one of the first suppliers (if not the first) to offer Abbe Warre's book "Beekeeping for All," in print form. Please contact us if you would like to purchase it immediately, or It will be available on our website in the near future.
Next week my dear sister and brother in law will be here, visiting from Texas and we are so excited; January through April has been non-stop busyness. We are exhausted, and ready for the bees to sort themselves out for the summer.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there, and to the dear queens of the hives!
Jill (and Matt)
Spring! Too early. At least two weeks too early as evidenced by the bustle of the bees and the grape vines at my day job. Daffodils and Crocus are long since up, and the cherries are blooming actively… in February! We have seen pollen on many bee legs for the last three weeks. It will most certainly be an interesting growing season.
Early spring has found us cleaning out dead hives, checking on thriving ones, finally finishing our honey processing, and hosting basic bee keeping classes. I can't believe I'm going to say it but, we actually could have used an extra two weeks of winter to catch our breath before bee season. However, here we are. Our dog, Polly, is completely happy with the early spring, as it means that not only does she get more time outside, but her feet need less wiping before she comes in!
We have our first retail honey customer! Immortal Pie & Larder in Portland, Oregon placed an order for twelve, eight-ounce jars of Bee Thinking honey. The order kept me busy conceiving of initial packaging, and sourcing jars. I am very happy with how it they turned out, as I came up with something eye catching. (I know our customers will be happy when the taste the delicious honey sourced from our hives, all located on organic sites and from foundationless hives. As you can see, I'm very proud of our bees, hives and honey!)

text: You exercise daily, eat plenty of veggies, and haven't so much as touched a cigarette in your life. Unfortunately, though, you can't exactly say the same for your significant other. Whether your male partner refuses to exercise or resists your constant entreaties to ditch his smoking habit, you've got a sticky situation at hand. How can you encourage healthy changes when he's not on board? And, more importantly, how can you do it tactfully and gently, without causing marital strife? In the first ever long-term study of its kind, a research team led by Dr. Rikke Lund, an associate professor in the Department of Public Health at the University of Copenhagen, concluded that stressful social relations in private life are associated with a two to three times greater risk of dying. The net-net was that the physiological reactions to stress, such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, may explain the increased mortality rate. Furthermore, since men respond to stressors with elevated levels of cortisol, this could potentially raise the possibility of adverse health outcomes even more. The study also found that men seemed to be particularly vulnerable to the worries and demands generated by their female partners. Although the results were recently published in the highly respected Journal of Applied Physiology, the factors behind it could not be fully determined. But any man who has ever lived with a woman could claim it�s a no brainer � they are being nagged to death! Let�s address the bigger issue here. If your husband or significant other refuses to eat leafy greens, never exercises or goes to a doctor and smokes like a chimney, isn�t there an even greater chance that he will die of a heart attack, diabetes, or cancer? So the question is, how do you tactfully get him to adopt healthier lifestyle habits without harassing or hurting his feeling? Let�s hear from the experts. Tap into his inner motivation. �It�s not an easy task,� says Dr. John McGrail, PhD, author of The Synthesis Effect: Your Direct Path to Personal Power and Transformation. �The study is correct in that constant arguments exacerbate and amplify stress. And stress is supposed to be, from a physiological and evolutionary perspective, a short-term condition to get us out of danger, to ensure our survival. In modern Western culture, though, stress is chronic. But trying to make someone change against their will simply leads to excess stress for both parties.� In other words, you cannot force anyone to do anything unless they themselves want to do it to. �Human beings are, by nature, hard-wired to resist change, any change, whether good for them or not,� McGrail continues. �It's a state of being called homeostasis, a tenacious clinging to the familiar. Generally, the more you try to make someone see the light, the stiffer their natural resistance generally becomes. In fact, even diplomatic entreaties can, and often will, create not just resistance, but an escalation of the unwanted or unhealthy habit or behavior out of resentment.� Indeed, whenever a prospective client calls to enquire about the procedures or process for, say, smoking cessation or weight loss, the first thing McGrail asks them is whether it�s their idea. �If they tell me that they are only doing it at the behest of a spouse or loved one, I generally do not accept the case, as chances for success are iffy at best. However, I would also try to find out why they are so against doing something that would clearly be good for their health. Then I look for ways I might help them develop the inner motivation required to accomplish whatever it is they are fighting.� With that thought in mind, if, for example, vanity is what motivates him, �try saying something like: �You know that beautiful suit you wanted but thought was too small, I think you'd look amazing in it and I would really like see you have it.�� Or, you might even attempt the (always riskier) law of reversal: �I know you don't want to (fill in the blank) and, truthfully, I doubt you could do it anyway." Make it an inconvenience. McGrail says that rather than simply nagging him, another possible tactic would be to ask that he take the offending behavior elsewhere: For instance, �Please don't smoke in the house, or around me. I love you too much to watch you smoking (or stuffing your face, etc).� The inconvenience of still doing what is clearly not good for him might just get him thinking about making the change. Be his biggest supporter. According to McGrail, it may also be wise to gently attempt to uncover the reasons for this defiance to living more healthfully. �The underlying cause is often a fear of failure, feeling unworthy to be successfully healthy and fit, or some other defense mechanism that is in play. It could also be the result of a memory of some long distant event that triggered and subsequently ingrained a negative outlook or behavior.� Regardless, if that fear or limiting belief or traumatic incident is finally exposed, it provides an opportunity to lend appropriate support. McGrail suggests telling him: �I would be willing to be here with you through the process-- whatever it takes, we'll do it together." An alternative is to take this golden moment of openness to gently steer him toward getting the professional help he may need to become motivated to take the necessary actions to help him live a longer, healthier and more dynamic life. �That might involve the willingness to do the research and make the appointments for him�and an equal willingness to even go with him.� Don't be bossy. As far as inspiring your spouse to choose a better diet, Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, Director, Women's Heart Health and Vascular Institute, Lenox Hill Hospital, and author of Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum's Heart Book: Every Woman's Guide to a Heart Healthy Life-Reduce the Effects of Stress, Promote Heart Health and Restore the Balance in Your Life, weighs in. �When you tell him what he should or shouldn�t be eating and how many glasses of water he should be drinking, he probably hears his mother. And he doesn�t want to hear it from you anymore than you would want him to tell you should listen to what your mother says you should be eating.� And even if he does pay attention, it could build up resentment. Bring in a third party. �You are there to support and encourage each other, not to order each other around. But still and all, you want a healthy spouse, right?� So here�s Dr. Steinbaum�s advice: �Delegate this job! Call in a third party to help. Whether it�s a doctor, a nutritionist, a dietician or a personal trainer, find someone who can be the point person who you know he will listen to. Have that person talk to him frankly, as a health professional. And you? You step out of it! As long as you know he is being told the right things, you can kick back and enjoy the good results.� Use positive reinforcement. The doctor adds that every so often it never hurts to remind him that the man you married is vibrant and handsome, and you never want that to change. Nor do you ever want his children or grandchildren to have to see him sick. �Refrain, if you can, from saying he is setting a bad example for the kids. Trust me, he already knows that and feels guilty enough. And if that�s the case, it�s only that he�s having trouble changing and needs that outside voice of reason.� Instead of pointing the finger, be as supportive and loving as you can whenever he does something good for his health. �Positive reinforcement is your job -- and it works!� Lead by example. Finally, if you�re the one food shopping and making dinner most of the time, the ball is ultimately in your court. �If you know he�ll eat what you put in front of him, make it good for him. He might grumble, but when he starts feeling better, he�ll appreciate the small health-boosting changes and start making more of them on his own.� This Father�s Day, try giving the special man in your life the gift of good health...minus the stress. Instead of nagging him about his bad habits (for at least this one day) use positive reinforcement�or an appointment with a good adviser�to get him back on the right track.

Do you miss our mascot and the whole Thunder era?
We had the best mascot! The BEST LOGO! We were the only team to feature its mascot on the uniform -- on the shorts:
Thunder was part of this franchise for more than 12 years. His likeness was featured on the team's beautiful primary logo... And all of a sudden -- Thunder vanished... Did he disappear back into the "sudden cloud burst" from which he first appeared, as his official team bio, that was in the mascot section of the Warriors website used to say (www.nba.com/warriors/mascot/meet_thunder.html)?
I hate Oklahoma City!! Because the city's NBA franchise stole the name Thunder and forced the Dubs to remove the moniker from our beloved mascot. I gritted my teeth in frustration. Ask any (ex)-Sonics fan in Seattle, and they'll tell you that owner Clay Bennett hijacked the team with the sole purpose of moving it to OKC. But on top of that, he named his new Oklahoma City franchise after Golden State's mascot? Was Bennett trying to alienate the entire western seaboard? I'm still baffled, to say the least...
(Photo: Joe Ciolli)
The only place Thunder still has is on the wall above the practice court (top left). I miss him like hell...
A good read on whatever happened to our mascot:

I don't have anything against the old logo, when it comes to design, nor the mascot, I just hated the colors used. It was so poorly put together, that it looked horrible. Especially the jerseys. Navy blue, orange, yellow (gold), a bit of light blue...awful. If they used our colors, and that logo, with some small tweaks it would look great.
And we could get the mascot back, it would just need to change the name...Lightning, for instance, or something like that. |
I doubt the new ownership is that enthusiastic about it... |
Probably not, cause they are preparing for a new start...we already are a new team, with this ne logo and stuff, but I think they will change a lot during our new Arena opening season. And this logo was created by Cohen's team, if I'm not mistaken, so I wouldn't be surprised if they changed it again. I said it many times, I don't like big logo on the chest, it looks cartooney.
Hated the mascot, logo and the uniforms... They were tacky and a all-time low for a franchise that has had the absolute best uniforms ever. Not trying to be negative, but I'm just generally not a fan of mascots at the professional level, but I'm particularly not found of Thunder.
I'm not all that proud of the fact that "We were the only team to feature its mascot on the uniform." The Warriors have a rich history, packed with many firsts (named after the state nickname, The City jerseys, players choking out coaches, etc...), the blue superhero mascot that made no sense, is not a unique attribute that many will remember. Those jersey's and mascot represent low points - on many levels - good riddance. |
Do I miss Thunder?
Totally - best mascot ever. Do I miss his era? HELLLLL NO. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
I could never understand the relevance of the Thunder mascot with the Warriors team. Is there a simply explanation? I don't see the connection between the super hero and warriors.
I guess Thunder was a Warrior... I've always had that impression looking at the logo. Which is why I was fine with the dark navy blue road unis. I really miss that dude and I miss him on the logo... Maybe they can bring him back ut change colors - make him alighter shade of blue (the current 'Warriors Royal Blue', for example). |
He'll No.
That whole timeframe or at the very least, most of it, was garbage! There wasn't any real correlation between Thunder and our team and when you add in the uniforms, drama, and losing records, that is a time which I would like to delete. Much like 1980's fashion. |
I don't get it.. The Thunder era is NOT by far the worst span of time a franchise has ever seen! You had 'WE BELIEVE', we eliminated the #1 seed Mavs... J-Rich won back-to-back Slam Dunk titles.... I don't get why so many people complain THAT much about it....
Talk about low standards. We had 2 winning seasons, and I'm not even going to count the back-to-back dunk titles because that don't mean ****, in the span of 13 years. C'mon, man.
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
I think many of us separate We Believe from the Thunder Era. I'll give you the dunk titles, but as 8th said that doesn't really amount to a hill of beans. My most vivid memories of Thunder's era involve Jason Caffey being paraded around like the franchise, Mugsey's last hurrah, an offense built around Clarence Weatherspoon and Jim Jackson, the drafting of Mike Dunleavy, the push for Eric Dampier to be an all-star (seriously), Fitz trying to convince us that all would be well once Bimbo Coles came off the DL, Nick Van Exel faking injury and squealing for a trade, and a musical-chair carousel of garbage head coaches including Cowens, Winters, Monty, and Muss... It was just total, utter disarray. To me, and I suspect a lot of others, the "Thunder" era ended when Don Nelson came back. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
Outstanding post 32, I agree wholeheartedly. The teams and coaches during that timeframe were a disgrace, the uniforms were horrid and the mascot should very well be forgotten. We were a laughingstock for the most part and I cringe each time I remember paying for seats to those games. When you compare the organization from then to now you realize the professionalism which we now exude. We're not over the hump yet but we're taken seriously now and opposing players know they're in a battle when they come to Oakland.

Caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), chickenpox used to be a common illness among kids in the United States (particularly among those under age 12). An itchy rash of spots that look like blisters can appear all over the body and be accompanied by flu-like symptoms. Chickenpox is very contagious, so an infected child should stay home and rest until the rash is gone.
Kids can be protected from VZV by getting the chickenpox (varicella) vaccine. The vaccine significantly reduces the chances of getting chickenpox. Vaccinated kids who do get chickenpox tend to have milder cases and quicker recoveries compared to those who contract the virus and aren't immunized.
Chickenpox often starts with a fever, headache, sore throat, or stomachache. These symptoms may last for a few days, with fever in the 101°-102°F (38.3°-38.8°C) range.
Chickenpox causes a red, itchy skin rash that usually appears first on the abdomen or back and face, and then spreads to almost everywhere else on the body, including the scalp, mouth, arms, legs, and genitals.
The rash begins as multiple small red bumps that look like pimples or insect bites, usually less than a quarter of an inch wide. They appear in crops over 2 to 4 days and develop into thin-walled blisters filled with fluid. The blister walls break, leaving open sores, which finally crust over to become dry, brown scabs. The rash is very itchy, and cool baths or calamine lotion may help to manage the itching.
A hallmark of chickenpox is that all stages (red bumps, blisters, and scabs) can appear on the body at the same time. The rash may be more extensive or severe in kids who have skin disorders like eczema, or weak immune systems. Young kids tend to have a mild illness with fewer blisters than older children or adults.
In rare cases, serious bacterial infections involving the skin, lungs, bones, joints, and the brain can occur.
Anyone who has had chickenpox is at risk for developing a skin condition called shingles (herpes zoster) later in life. That's because after an infection, VZV remains inactive in nerve cells near the spinal cord and reactivates later as shingles, which can cause tingling, itching, or pain in one area of the body, followed by a rash with red bumps and blisters. Fortunately, this is a rare occurrence in kids and teens who have healthy immune systems.
It's also uncommon for someone who's been vaccinated against chickenpox to develop singles later in life. When it does happen, the case of shingles is usually milder and less likely to cause complications than in a person who wasn't immunized.
The chickenpox virus spreads both through the air (by coughing and sneezing), and by direct contact with mucus, saliva, or fluid from blisters. Chickenpox is contagious from about 2 days before the rash appears until all the blisters are crusted over. A child with chickenpox should be kept out of school until all blisters have dried, usually about 1 week. If you're unsure about whether your child is ready to return to school, ask your doctor.
Chickenpox is very contagious — most kids with a sibling who's been infected will get it as well (if they haven't already had the disease or the vaccine), showing symptoms about 2 weeks after the first child does. To help keep it from spreading, make sure your kids wash their hands frequently, particularly before eating and after using the bathroom. And keep a child with chickenpox away from unvaccinated siblings as much as possible.
People who haven't had chickenpox or the vaccine also can catch it from someone with shingles, but they cannot catch shingles itself. That's because shingles can only develop from a reactivation of VZV in someone who has previously had chickenpox.
Certain groups of people are more at risk for complications from chickenpox, including pregnant women and anyone with immune system problems. These groups should avoid others who have chickenpox.
If a pregnant woman who hasn't had chickenpox in the past contracts it (especially in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy), the fetus is at risk for birth defects and the mother is at risk for more health complications than if she'd been infected when she wasn't pregnant. If she develops chickenpox just before or after the child is born, the newborn is at risk for serious health complications. There is no risk to a developing baby if the mother develops shingles during pregnancy.
If a pregnant woman has had chickenpox before the pregnancy, the baby will be protected from infection for the first few months of life, since the mother's immunity gets passed on to the baby through the placenta and breast milk.
Those at risk for severe disease or serious complications — such as newborns whose mothers had chickenpox at the time of delivery, patients with leukemia or immune deficiencies, and kids receiving drugs that suppress the immune system — may be given a medication after exposure to chickenpox to reduce its severity.
The chickenpox vaccine is 99% effective at preventing the VZV infection in kids. Doctors recommend that kids receive the chickenpox vaccine twice — when they're 12 to 15 months old, with a booster shot at 4 to 6 years old.
People 13 years of age and older who have never had chickenpox or haven't gotten the vaccine should receive two doses of the vaccine at least 28 days apart to be protected. While few people who've been vaccinated actually develop chickenpox, those who do tend to develop very mild cases of the condition and recover quickly.
Healthy kids who have had chickenpox do not need the vaccine — they usually have lifelong protection against the illness.
Since a virus causes chickenpox, doctors won't prescribe antibiotics to treat it. However, antibiotics may be required if the sores become infected by bacteria. This is pretty common among kids because they often scratch and pick at the blisters.
An antiviral medicine might be prescribed for people with chickenpox who are at risk for complications. The decision to use this will depend on a child's age and health, the extent of the infection, and the timing of the treatment. Your doctor can tell you if the medication is right for your child.
To help relieve the itchiness, fever, and discomfort of chickenpox:
Never use aspirin to reduce pain or fever in kids with chickenpox because aspirin has been associated with the serious disease Reye syndrome, which can lead to liver failure and even death.
As much as possible, discourage kids from scratching. This can be difficult for them, so consider putting mittens or socks on your child's hands to prevent scratching during sleep. In addition, trim fingernails and keep them clean to help lessen the effects of scratching, including broken blisters and infection.
Most chickenpox infections require no special medical treatment. But sometimes, there are problems. Call the doctor if your child:
Call your doctor if you think your child has chickenpox and you have a question or are concerned about a possible complication. The doctor can guide you in watching for complications and in choosing medication to relieve itching.
If you take your child to the doctor, let the office know in advance that your child might have chickenpox. It's important to try to avoid exposing other kids in the office — for some of them, a chickenpox infection could cause severe complications.

Sometimes, my blood sugars drop as low as 40 and then skyrocket up to the 500s during the course of a day. Reasons can vary from specific insulin dosing or carb counting mistakes to laziness on my part… or just because the sun decided to shine brighter, a breeze is blowing a certain way that day, or someone sneezed on the other side of the world.
That's just life with diabetes on certain days.
