FAIRY TALE FRIENDS Poost, Jordan, and Shivener.
The touring production is at Providence Performing Arts Center through January 13, and you don't have to have a tyke in tow to be admitted.
Even ogres can learn to love — that is the message for grown-ups. The bighearted production has music by Jeanine Tesori (Violet; Caroline, or Change) and, more importantly, a wisecracking book and lyrics by playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, whose Rabbit Hole grabbed the drama Pulitzer in 2007.
The show's contemporary twist on traditional fairy tales is that the princess is not rescued by a square-jawed handsome prince but rather by our eponymous hero — lumbering, green, and easily mistaken for a monster. But our headstrong princess probably wouldn't put up with a valorous, self-impressed prince anyway, so all is well and good.
With the help of a chattering sidekick Donkey (André Jordan), her rescue also involves a menagerie of fairy tale characters, from Pinocchio to the Ugly Duckling, plus a 25-foot fire-breathing dragon, and an odious, diminutive villain.
We can't help being fond of Shrek (Lukas Poost) right away, since the story begins with him telling the audience all about his traumatic childhood. Banished on his seventh birthday, told by his parents that his ugly appearance will make people afraid of him, he grows into a suspicious misanthrope, living along in a swamp.
But company does start showing up, in the form of fairytale characters exiled by Lord Farquaad (Merritt David Janes) from the Kingdom of Duloc. Shrek values his privacy, so he sets off to complain to Farquaad, encouraged by the fairytale folk, who don't like his gruff company either. But he can't help but be helpful; that's his nature. So he soon ends up rescuing Donkey from Farquaad's nasty minions and reluctantly acquires an appreciative and talkative friend for life.
Meanwhile, a gingerbread man, Gingy (Schuyler Midgett), is not about to run anywhere, since he's being tortured by Farquaad to reveal the whereabouts of Princess Fiona (Liz Shivener), whom he must marry in order to become king. The evil lord commissions Shrek to rescue Fiona from a dragon-guarded castle, his reward being that he will again have his swamp to himself. Little does Shrek know that when Fiona was seven she dreamed of being rescued by a brave knight who will prove to be her one true love. Fate soon ensues.
What grown-ups have best to appreciate in all this silliness are the thumbs-up performances by the main characters. Poost is sweetly sympathetic as the big fella, Jones is hissingly hilarious as the villain (a regular-size actor shuffling about on his knees in a clever costume), and even Jordan as the donkey is entertainingly busy making an ass of himself. Most captivating of all is Shivener as the spunky Princess, winning our hearts with her sassy ways.

Arsène Wenger believes the free-flowing performances synonymous with Arsenal will return with their confidence.
The Gunners have enjoyed five wins in their last six matches in all competitions and will look to extend that run when Stoke visit Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Wenger's side showed they are ready to dig in with a battling win in Marseille and the Frenchman says that, in time, his team will dominate games once more.
"It depends how you analyse the performances," he said. "The spirit is there, the attitude is there, the quality of commitment is there, the possession is there - even in Marseille we had a lot. In the Champions League away from home that's unusual.
"We have some room for improvement in the final third offensively, and that will come with the confidence.
"It is our target [to turn things around], that is what we want to achieve. On Sunday we want to especially continue the quality of our game - the result will be the consequence of that. Let's focus on defending well again and playing our football."
So are Arsenal turning a corner? "It is down to our results basically," Wenger replied. "We have played eight games, we have 30 to go so we do not have to look too much at the other results.
"What is important is that we have a consistent focus and then we will come back. It is just down to us."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Summit's Brewer takes the pool by Storm
Sophomore excels, swam with top Olympians
BEND, Ore. - The Summit boys swim team has become a dynasty lately, winning five of the last six Class 5A state titles.
And the past two years, sophomore Tommy Brewer has been a key cog in helping the Storm stay at the top.
"I don't really like not doing very well; it's one of my pet peeves of the sport, so when I don't do well, I get kinda angry with myself," Brewer said this week.
The fact of the matter is, it's not very often when Brewer doesn't do very well.
In only two years swimming at Summit, he's already won four individual gold medals at state and has set four state records.
But one of his proudest accomplishments came last year, when he qualified for the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials in the 200-meter breaststroke.
"Like a deer in headlights. It was eye-opening, that's for sure," Brewer said.
Tommy is the first to admit the nerves got the best of him that day.
He finished in 117th place, but knows that experience will pay off in the long run.
"What it really means to compete at that high level of swimming, and how you might be the top dog for your age group, but the moment you get to that next level, you're going to get eaten alive," Brewer said.
At those Olympic Trials in Omaha, he got the chance to swim with the sport's biggest stars: Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte.
"It was pretty cool, I'm not gonna lie. Those are guys you've looked up to since you started swimming, and just kind of being in the same pool, doing the same thing they're doing, it makes them seem more normal than they actually are on camera," Brewer said.
For many swimmers, the biggest sacrifice they have to make is the morning swim: getting up at 4:30 a.m. to hit the pool.
"You know, sometimes he gets a little cranky at 5 in the morning, but we all do," said his sister, Madi Brewer.
"Before this past year, I haven't really done a whole lot of mornings, so I've really upped up my practices," Tommy Brewer said. "Getting up has been the challenge, in trying to balance that with school."
One thing that hasn't been a challenge for Tommy is his work ethic.
The people that see him swim the most, his coach and mom Ann, and his sister and fellow swimmer Madi, say that's his best attribute.
"You can tell when he's in the pool, he's in there to train," Madi Brewer said. "He doesn't let anything silly get in his way. He just goes for it, and that's what it takes. Whether he's the only one in the pool or the only one on his cycle, he's going to go as fast and as hard as he can all the time."
Next up for Tommy, in terms of goals in the pool, is making the semis or finals of the Olympic Trials -- and hopefully making the Olympic team.


text: [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Hi, I am meeting a guy this weekend to do a possible straight trade for his ZR2. I had bought a 1998 ZR2 brand new back then but only had it for about 2yrs (17,000mi) then I traded it in for a brand new 2000 ZR2 Blazer that I only had for a year before being in an accident. Anyway I am not a newbie to this vehicle, but the one I might be getting has 174,000 miles on it...just a few more miles to say the least then the past ZR2's that I had back in the day. The tranny was rebuilt just 5,000 miles ago, and zero engine work. I know these 4.3's can be bullet proof, but is there anything I should be on the lookout for when looking this truck over? He said it runs and drives excellent, just a small dent in rear quarter panel, and the front passenger fender flare has been cracked, otherwise in great shape. He has no use for a truck anymore and wants a VW, which I have...its a 2000 Jetta with 170,000 miles on it. I have no use for it since I have a 2003 Tahoe, and a 2005 Z71 Suburban, and a Acura RSX and really need a truck to haul stuff around in that I don't want to put in my SUV's. It won't be a daily driver and will be sitting much of the time. If well cared for, how many more miles could I get out of this 4.3? Thanks in advance for any input! Wasn't sure where to post this, hopefully under this thread was ok. [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]


text: I'm trying to help my son who is back from the service to get his 1990 G20 Van running. We have it narrowed down to the injectors not putting fuel into the intake. When we manually squirt fuel in, it starts, then quits when the fuel is spent. We have checked and there is 12v power to one side of each injector, and there is fuel pressure also, but it's not getting the negative pulse from the computer. The wiring from the computer to the injectors is good. I purchased a new ignition module and installed it in the distributor. Still nothing. We also tried a different computer from the wrecking yard, no go. Also, when we ground the negative pulse wires (Dark Green and Dark Blue) at the computer, the injectors shoot fuel into the intake. Where does the computer get the signal from to tell the injectors to shoot the fuel? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

A huge pumpkin sets a new Guinness World Record for the heaviest pumpkin
On September 28, a pumpkin named the Freak II squashed the Guinness World Record for the heaviest pumpkin. Ron Wallace, from Greene, Rhode Island, grew the giant gourd. It weighed in at 2,009 pounds at the New England Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off, in Topsfield, Massachusetts. Wallace beat the old world record by almost 200 pounds. He is the first person ever to grow a one-ton pumpkin. Wallace took home $15,500 in prize money.


text: Steelers are my second favorite team. Grew up around a lot of Italian steelers fans and when I moved south we met another family from Pittsburgh we became very close with. The older mom became like my grandmother and her son almost like an uncle. And my wife and I are God parents to all his sisters kids. Anyway he was a huge steelers fan and we always were at there house on Sundays for dinner so I always rooted for the steelers on Sundays as long as they were not playing anyone from the NFCE especially the giants. That's where I drew the line. But did cheer form them in their SBs. Have great respect for a lot of players on that team

Arsenal Football Club is saddened to hear of the death of former player and scout Joe Haverty at the weekend, aged 72.
The diminutive left-winger was already an Irish youth international before he came to the Club from St Patrick's Athletic in July 1954.
He made his debut at Everton the following August, the same day as Jimmy Bloomfield, but would only become a proper fans' favourite in the 1956/57 campaign. Haverty was famed for his joyful personality and dribbling skills. At just 5ft 3ins, he was dubbed "Little Joe" after a character from TV's Bonanza.
Haverty also played for the London XI in the first Inter-Cities Cup campaign in 1957/58, scoring the crucial away goal in the 2-1 defeat at Lausanne Sports in the Semi-Final first leg. Goals from Tottenham's Jimmy Greaves and Arsenal's Cliff Holton ensured the team from the capital made the Final, however Haverty would not be involved in the 6-1 defeat to Barcelona in the two-legged showpiece tie.
Back trouble would curtail his progression at Highbury. He contributed 37 appearances and eight goals in season 1959/60 but was transferred to Blackburn at the start of the 1961/62 campaign. He later represented Millwall, Celtic, Bristol Rovers, Shelbourne, Shamrock Rovers and, in the nascent North American Soccer League, Chicago Spurs and Kansas City Spurs. He also won 32 full caps for Ireland between 1956 and 1967.
He returned to Ireland after his playing days were over and rekindled his relationship with Arsenal by scouting for the Club.
Liam Brady, Head of Youth Development, remembers: "Joe had a long time in the game but he had his last six or seven years in Ireland.
"I used to go and watch him in the League of Ireland and the Irish team from when I was about 10 to when I went to Arsenal at 15. He played a long time for the international team. From his Arsenal days right up almost to the 70s.
Older fans always tell me what a crowd-pleasing player [he was] when he was at Highbury. Joe was an old-fashioned winger, small in stature but very quick. He would take on players, get past them and get crosses in.
"He really enjoyed his time at Arsenal and constantly talked about it. He did some work for the Club prior to me coming back. But I asked him to do some more and he was delighted to do that. He was an excellent scout for us.
"Joe and our other Irish scout, Bill Darby, were instrumental in us getting Anthony Stokes when there was a real scramble on.
"We all are sad at this news because he was a bubbly character right until the end."
Haverty was inaugurated into the Football Association of Ireland's Hall of Fame in 2000. He leaves a wife and three daughters.
The thoughts of everyone at Arsenal Football Club are with his family and friends at this sad time.

let's see how long this lasts. saints are on the downisde right now your blowout means nothing .
Also why doesn't the stupid media ever accuse giants of running up the score. did eli infuence this too with his father?
New York Giants Superbowl XXI, XXV, XLII, XLVI Champions!!!!!
No offense but you talk about texans as if they are a bad team. They are great team despite what happened and had they come to new york you would have understood the full meaning of pain an elite team can whoop you with. we crushed them because we are the patriots.
you taunts are weak as is your self confidence in your team. I can smell it from here.
we have the two toughest teams right now and both these teams are tougher than any in your schedule.
certainly i feel good at our power.
The only thing you will defend is...........how it's possible for giants to suck against rookie like they did.
yea you will defend the abuse of how a young man with no experience beat the living daylights out of you. you will defend many things .....many doubts..... suspicions......about how you ever actually won even a single game....
SB is the last thing you will defend because it is already taken from you in broad daylight .
I am not gonna lie that i am a little worried about the 49ers. The seahwaks and 49ers are some of the toughest team i have ever seen. even though seahwakls won by one point but still tghey are really heavyweight fighters. 49ers with kapernick are different than the one you guys faced with smith. Also their defense is world class and absloute elite class.
see i am not delusional. I will give credit to teams where i see consistent excellence. if you have the misfortune of playing these titans you will seriously question your self esteeem. they ahve already stolen your shot IMO. Again your early defeat of 49ers are not updated. Their defense is monstrous and getting hotter.
I think we will over 49ers but it will take immense effort and every ounce of planning ,execution and skill we have. I don't mention "luck" because we never seem to have it ....we have to struggle and work week in and week out for our victories and that's why they taste so effing goodin the end !
but i hope lady luck also shines on us because it's about damn time for the true champions to hold the trophy. The true kings of the nfl have not held what is theirs in a long time. other teams got the trophy but they were not champions just 'come and go".

Andrew Durante's availability for the All Whites hasn't even been confirmed but he is already being mentioned by coach Ricki Herbert as a potential skipper for the national side.
With Ryan Nelsen's international career in limbo following the announcement he will take up a coaching role at Toronto FC in the MLS in the near future, much speculation has begun as to who will succeed him as captain of the All Whites.
Ipswich Town defender Tommy Smith has done the job before when he became the youngest player to lead the All Whites at 22 when they played El Salvador last year, while West Ham United centre back Winston Reid captained the Hammers against Manchester United in FA Cup action during the week.
Then there's Durante, the Australian-born Wellington Phoenix skipper who becomes eligible to represent New Zealand in March, providing his citizenship is approved and he can tick all the relevant boxes with Fifa.
Durante, 30, has sat on the bench for the Socceroos in the past but never took the pitch for his native Australia and it would be a controversial call if the centre back came straight in to the All Whites and was then given the armband.
Herbert said during the week that if Nelsen's international career was over - which is still a big if - then he had three options at his disposal.
"Yeah, look, Tommy's had a go at it and I think that's important. I think Winston comes well in to the mix and like I say, who knows with Andrew," Herbert said.
"There's a bit of red tape to go yet but I think they'd be three very strong contenders to pick up and lead the side in a very good way. A very strong way."
Herbert said he had spoken to Nelsen since the 49-cap All White was unveiled as the new Toronto coach a week and a half ago but was none the wiser on whether he would again suit up for the New Zealand side.
"We have communicated and it's in Ryan's hands to work through it and when it's done either way then we'll both have something to say, but we have been in touch," Herbert said.
Durante has been a rock for the Phoenix during his stint with the club after he arrived from the Newcastle Jets in 2008.
He has made more than 100 appearances for the Wellington-based franchise and is a respected leader at the club where many of his team-mates also play for the All Whites.
New Zealand aspirations aside, Durante's immediate focus will be on trying to lift the struggling Phoenix out of their mid-season slump when they play Sydney FC at Allianz Stadium tomorrow night. (sat)
The Phoenix have dropped five of their past seven games and sit in dead last on the A-League ladder and everybody knows of their ongoing struggles when they play across the Tasman.
The squad has been boosted by the return of Paul Ifill who has recovered from ankle surgery and he will likely play from the bench tomorrow.
"It's in everybody's interest that we go across, get three points and play well," Herbert said.
Sydney have one of the most talented rosters in the league boasting the likes of Alessandro Del Piero, Brett Emerton, Jason Culina and the newly-acquired Joel Griffiths.
Despite their highly-paid squad the Sky Blues are languishing in ninth in the league and this weekend's game shapes as a vital outing for both clubs.

Family members: Older Tsarnaev brother was influenced by "mysterious radical"
posted at 8:01 pm on April 23, 2013 by Allahpundit
"Mysterious radical" is from the AP's headline but it's unclear just how radical he was. They're implying that the mystery man, a Muslim convert named "Misha," might have nudged Tamerlan Tsarnaev towards terrorism but the piece never gets around to alleging that specifically. There are a lot of allegations about Misha urging Tamerlan to follow Islam more strictly ("Misha said it's not really good to create music"), but whether there was any last fateful suggestion about showing the kuffar who's boss by bombing something is unclear. Misha wasn't the only influence on him either: Read down in the piece and you'll find that Tamerlan was eager to read "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" and was also a fan of Alex Jones and his Infowars site, which has inexplicably become near-daily link bait on Drudge. That's odd in a sense because, as Dave Weigel says, the Infowars version of the war on terror is that it's essentially all a big CIA op, not a death struggle with the mujahedeen. I wonder if Tamerlan enjoyed the Infowars piece last month arguing that Obama's support for the Syrian rebels makes him the de facto leader of Al Qaeda now. He must have missed it, or else the motive for the bombing becomes … really murky.
This piece isn't the first mention of "Misha," either. Ruslan Tsarni, the Tsarnaevs' uncle who famously called them "losers" on TV last week, told the "Today" show on Friday that he'd heard from a family acquaintance that "there is someone who brainwashed [Tamerlan], some new convert to Islam. I would like to stress (the acquaintance was) of Armenian descent.'' Presumably the acquaintance who told him that is Khozhugov, Tamerlan's former brother-in-law and the AP's main source for this story:
Then, in 2008 or 2009, Tamerlan met Misha, a slightly older, heavyset bald man with a long reddish beard. Khozhugov didn't know where they'd met but believed they attended a Boston-area mosque together. Misha was an Armenian native and a convert to Islam and quickly began influencing his new friend, family members said…
"Misha was telling him what is Islam, what is good in Islam, what is bad in Islam," said Khozhugov, who said he was present for the conversation. "This is the best religion and that's it. Mohammed said this and Mohammed said that."…
"It was late, like midnight," Khozhugov said. "His father comes in and says, 'Why is Misha here so late and still in our house?' He asked it politely. Tamerlan was so much into the conversation he didn't listen."…
Anzor became so concerned that he called his brother, worried about Misha's effects.
"I heard about nobody else but this convert," Tsarni said. "The seed for changing his views was planted right there in Cambridge."
It's not clear if the feds have spoken to "Misha" yet, but in their defense, in a big city like Boston it must be hard to find a, er, bald, heavy-set, red-bearded Muslim from Armenia. Legally, unless "Misha" somehow helped the brothers with their logistics in bombing the marathon, it'd be hard to convict him of anything even if he was advocating outright for terrorism. The First Amendment exception for incitements to violence requires not only intent to incite but that the violence appear imminent. If Misha told them to bomb the marathon the night before they did it, that's one thing; if he told them to do it a year ago, that's something else. Could be that he didn't tell them anything like that at all. But given Awlaki's career path and the influence he had over his disciples, obviously if you're the feds you're interested in knowing more about "Misha," who he's talking to, and what he said to the Tsarnaevs — or what they said to him — before the big day.
But maybe this is all only tangentially relevant. According to the timeline in the AP piece, Tamerlan first started chatting with Misha circa 2008 or 2009; it's not clear if they were even in contact recently. If those chats did somehow set him on the path to last Monday, it's a long path. and after a preliminary investigation the feds have yet to find anything on the Tsarnaevs' phones or computers pointing to an accomplice. Exit quotation from a neighbor about Tamerlan: "He had nothing against the American people. He had something against the American government." So he bombed a marathon?

They walked in pairs, striding purposefully down a path lined with large American flags Monday at San Jose's Oak Hill Memorial Park. Then, they stood tall after presenting wreaths in honor of the service members who had fallen serving their country.
The salute veteran Leonard Schlussel delivered with his World War II wreath was crisp.
"I'm just proud of the fact that I served, plain and simple," said Schlussel, 87, of San Jose, who was an Army sergeant during the war.
Across the country and around the Bay Area, in cities large and small, Americans took time on Memorial Day to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
In Saratoga, youth from the Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts and 4H placed laurel sprays on the graves of veterans. Over at Oakland's Mountain View Cemetery, there was a release of doves and a rifle volley fired by the Sons of the American Legion, Rizal Post 598.
"I have always considered myself one of the lucky ones," said Warren Wells, an 88-year-old Oakland resident who served in the Navy during World War II. "Many never made it home, or they came back injured. People should never forget that."
The long weekend might be the unofficial start of summer and a time for backyard barbecues, but Monday also was a time for remembering. This year's solemn Memorial Day events came a time when the ranks of World War II veterans continue to dwindle and the conflict in Afghanistan approaches its 12th anniversary.
Large ceremonies were held at the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno and at the San Francisco National Cemetery. And hundreds came to Oak Hill -- the site of the South Bay's oldest remembrance; the 95th annual event was sponsored by the United Veterans Council of Santa Clara County. There were four separate observances honoring Japanese-American veterans, Vietnam veterans and those who served in the Civil War and Spanish-American War.
The cemetery buzzed with activity over the weekend as Boys Scouts and Girl Scouts planted flags on graves of the approximately 3,500 known veterans buried on the 350-acre site. Banners outside the cemetery featured photos of six South Bay military personnel who died serving the country -- including California National Guard Spc. Sean Walsh, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2011.
"We must insure that their sacrifice lives on," said Marine Corps Lt. Col. Sean N. Day, who delivered the keynote speech. ". . . It's our obligation to be their living memorial."
The 85th annual Memorial Day Observance in Saratoga was a slice of small-town Americana, drawing about 800 people. They gathered at Memorial Arch in Blaney Plaza for a flag ceremony, and then formed a procession to Madronia Cemetery. There, about 60 children placed laurel sprays on the graves of 1,039 veterans that had been marked with small flags.
"The entire community is involved in this," said Cynthia Chang, co-chairwoman of the event, sponsored by the Saratoga Football Club. "It really is meaningful because this is not just another holiday. This is a time when you're paying respects to the fallen, and the kids learn some great lessons by being part of this."
In Alameda, the League of Filipino-American Veterans and a chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America were among the groups on hand for a ceremony at the city's Veterans Memorial Park. The Alameda All City band performed, and local Sea Scouts presented flags representing each military branch.
Coast Guard Rear Adm. Karl Schultz told the estimated 300 people assembled that many leaving military service after tours in Iraq and Afghanistan will be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and will need long-term care. The injured, he explained, must also be remembered.
At O.co Coliseum, where the Giants and A's were beginning their Bay Bridge Series on Monday afternoon, the crowd cheered loudly as Staff Sgt. Dale Beatty, who is a double-amputee below the knees, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. He was wounded in Iraq in 2004 when his vehicle was blown up by anti-tank mines.
Both teams joined the rest of Major League Baseball in wearing special Marine Corps-style camouflage hats and lettering on their jerseys.
Back in San Jose, Day said that it's the way of the world that those who die serving the country often go unheralded.
"Those who gave the last full measure aren't nearly as popular as the winner of 'American Idol,' the result of the latest NFL draft or the cover story of the latest People magazine," he said. "But they still are the precious few who are willing to stand up and step forward for all Americans."

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Once my hands get warm from the fire alarm going off and us evacuating the school this afternoon I will be working on some embroidery for a BOM Christmas wall hanging I got last year but never did.
I spent the day hand quilting a lap quilt piece that I call my UFO Frankenstein project as it has many techniques done in it. You know..... cotton & felt.... piecing & applique .... traditional & Primitive ... etc. etc. I call it "Sunflowers & Crows". I'm hand quilting it's grid design. Then at TV Time I'll continue handstitching my secret Valentine project for a friend in Canada. I'll also do some machine work over the weekend.

Currently working on a "Flat Curtis" Quilt with boy child .
It's Report Card weekend for me so I don't think I'll get to any sewing...but with inspiration from this board, my sewing space is in a lot better shape for when I can sew.
Hey, girliegirl!
We're not too far apart, so while it snows outside, I'll be sewing on a binding! Unfortunately, it's a real project because it's on a scalloped edge, and I used my own templates....I think I should have done a more-gentle curve. Anyway, it'll keep me busy for a few evenings!
I am finishing the Warm Wishes top I have been working on I have 5 rows to sew together and then to the other 10 rows. I hope this is not two Big for our queen bed in the RV. I want to put boarders on also.
Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Picasso to paint your garage.
I've been staring at some charm packs for a week. Maybe I will have some sewn into HST's
tonight...if I can get off my butt. LOL
I will be trying to bind one of my quilts. I hate sewing he binding on!
Since I finished a baby quilt yesterday, I am on to the next one. I think my friends need stop having babies as groups. I can barely keep up!

Don't provoke a hive full of angry bees.
Have you ever noticed that people put sweaters, blankets and other clothing around dogs? Those are the ones that die young. A dog sheds in the spring and grows hair in the fall. Why do you think that is? Do you think you know what is best for the honeybee?
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
I pushed all three hives tightly together and insulated the whole row with 2" on all six sides. (4 sides plus top and bottom) But left a 1" air gap between the hives and the insulation. All my covers have a 2" hole drilled in them that was then filled with a 2" metal soffit vent. For the winter I stuck a wad of tissue paper in each hole that will hopefully block air flow but let moisture escape. So far my hives are dry as can be. My theory is that the condensation will form on the insulation rather than on the hive and run out the bottom.
A concern in a different post was an uninsulated top... the uninsulated part will be the point of condensation as it will cool the fastest. Have condensation on a side is probably not a bad thing as it should drip down the side and not on the cluster.
As the older beekeeping books say, a hive that is strong in bees going into winter with plenty of food doesn't need to be wrapped, packed, or insulated. I agree with that, but someone will surely ask, how strong does a hive have to be? In my area, I would say that a hive that has a cluster that covers 6 or 7 deep frames is strong for winter. I'm talking about looking into a hive when the temperature is at freezing and seeing that kind of coverage of the frames, just to be clear.
If you think that your hive has less than that quantity of bees, then doing something like adding a tarpaper wrap at the minimum can help warm the hive on those cold sunny days. I am trying something this year by only insulating three sides. My hives all face south to get the most winter sun, so I am using tarpaper only on the south side, then I am using 2" foam board on the other three sides. I also will add a piece of foamboard to the top of the outer cover. The tarpaper will allow the hive to still warm up from the sun, whereas if I insulated the south side with foam board it would not do so very well. The insulation on the three sides does nothing for preserving heat inside the hive because in reality the bees don't heat the hive, just the cluster. But what it does do is help slow down the cooling inside the hive from sudden changes in temperature outside the hive. John
I know may wraps make me feel better here in northen PA i don't know if they help but i had 100% last year
Plus theres a 1in peice of insulation under the tel. cover and all my hives{14} are dry and humming just checked today
Say hello to the bad guy!
year five==== 31 hives==== T{OAV}
GLOCK, looks like a frozen white cat on top of your hive sticking out of the snow, or am I just seeing things? John
I did three sides this year, mostly just as a wind break-south side uncovered.
I used 2" foam so I could use the telescoping covers.
Here is what it looks like before the back side goes on.
Of course there is foam in the lid too. I make my tops deeper to accept an 1 1/2" piece of foam.

I haven't wrapped my hives but I do have a wind break with them being on one side of my picket fence. I think a wind break is more important then wrapping as wood is already a natural insulator.
Splatt, in my location in quebec, we usually insulate 3 sides and top with foam and then wrap everything, leaving the entrance side less insulated. The bees heat the hive only if they rear brood. Insulation will leave the hive maybe a little warmer during big cold but not so much as we leave an upper entrance open in order to eliminate the excess of humidity which may (always!) condensate on top of the hive.
When I look at your picture, I see that you leave a long side not insulated, but in case of big sudden frost, it's difficult for the bees to pass around the frame in order to cluster deeper in the hive. On the short side, this is not a problem, because they can retract the swarm more easely. In windy locations, I often see lots of dead bees on the outside frames. They have been caught by the frost and was unable to join the rest of the bees which cluster maybe 1 or 2 frames deeper.
Also, they heat the hive when they need to move the cluster to reach food, at this moment insulation will help allowing them to move more easely
Splatt, a couple of observations:
I've kept a colony in subzero temps with no wrapping at all and it thrived, with a huge earl spring population. It did have a quilt box with about 3" of shredded leaves on the top box, though. It was a 2 deep 10 frame.
I've kept bees in town "commando" as well. I faced the hive toward the 2 story house, about 18" from it. That way it was exposed to whatever radiant heat lost from the house.
When he bees oriented, they went all of the way up the house wall, and when leaving the hive, climbed quite high before crossing the fence.
Being btw the wall and the fence, they were quite well protected from wind.
My bee yard now is in quite a windy place, and I am overwintering all of my colonies as 1 story double nucs.
I insulated the North sides of the nucs w/ 2" faom, and the east sides w/ 1".
South and east sides are wrapped in black material to stop wind and take advantage of whatever solar gain is available.
The top is insulated with 2" of foam also.
I think it is very important to insulate the top if sides are insulated.
Otherwise, the top being the coldest surface, it will be where moisture condenses.
I don't want it condensing where it can drop on the cluster.
If your bees are healthy and got plenty of pollen last summer/fall, and you keep water from condensing on the underside of the top, I don't think you have anything to worry about with your mild winter.

Further readings for the Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Launched in July 2012, the Fujifilm FinePix F800EXR is the latest in a line of cameras from Fuji, featuring an EXRCMOS sensor. Aimed at the upper end of the compact camera market, it offers features suitable for more advanced users and a lens focal range that is the equivalent of a 25-500mm lens in 35mm camera terms. So is this camera all things to all people?
With 7 different high-end compact camera models launched in 2011, Fujifilm holds the manufacturing record for this segment for 2011. Further, 2012 seems to be starting out just like 2011, with the announcement of the F770 EXR, XS -1, and HS 30 EXR cameras.
With this review of the Fujifilm F550 EXR and F600EXR, DxOMark completes its 2011 Fujifilm "collection."

Re: EXR Mode tested
I have no idea why DXOMark is not giving the details of their test.
At least it should state its all done on standard mode (on full resolution). What focal length on the lens was set for the test etc.
I would also like to see the rating under all the three fields, colors, ISO and DR when image output is set to Medium RAW and EXR is set to DR priority.
This is a different kind of sensor and should be treated differently.
Opinion on the Score:
Even in that standard mode it is quite a decent score, considering the flexible focal range 15x and starting at 24mm.

Oh Dear God: The Voice Versus Steven Seagal Trailer
- Written by Dave Walsh
Sometimes I don't even know how to approach the topic of Steven Seagal anymore. We all know that Seagal is a really strange myth of a fraud of a man, but that is really what Hollywood is about, isn't it? Our favorite color commentator and host Michael Schiavello will be interviewing Seagal for his next installment of "The Voice Versus" on AXS TV. Just watch this trailer and stare in awe of how ridiculous Seagal is and how great Schiavello is at doing what he does.

So I am new to keeping bees, but take it pretty seriously. I am very small at this point, but hope to grow a bit bigger over the next few years - nothing to make a living off of, but maybe bring in a few bucks here and there, but more importantly, help give some bees a good home! I want to start keeping track of my hives with notes and observations and I am looking for suggestions as to what to keep track of. In a post a week or two ago, Adam Foster Collins posted this -
I thought this was a good place to start. I am also wondering if there are any worksheets, or templates for hive info records. I am a fairly smart dude, so I could probably figure this out, but I would rather not reinvent the wheel if there are already good examples of record keeping for bee keepers. Thanks in advance!!In your region...
1) When does early pollen start and with what flowers blooming?
2) When does swarm season starts and what's blooming?
3) When does the main flow start and what's blooming?
4) When are you most likely to get a dearth in your area?
5) When does fall flow start and what's blooming?
6) When do you need to have completed assessments of colony stores and begin feeding if necessary?
7) When you should be finished with liquid feed in your area?
8) When should you treat (if you do that) in your area and with what on that date?
9) When should you have your bees completely ready for winter in your area?
10) What date do you try to do a late winter/ early spring evaluation of overwintering colonies?

Re: Does anyone have a recipe for banana cream pie?
2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup mashed banana
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 large egg yolks
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 pounds total), peeled, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
For crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and mashed banana in large bowl to blend. Add unsalted butter and stir to moisten evenly. Press onto bottom and up sides of 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
Bake crust until set and pale golden, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
For filling:
Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Gradually whisk in whipping cream and whole milk, then egg yolks. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add vanilla bean. Whisk over medium-high heat until custard thickens and boils, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in unsalted butter and vanilla extract. Discard vanilla bean. Transfer custard to large bowl; cool completely, whisking occasionally, about 1 hour.
Stir custard to loosen, if necessary. Spread 1 cup custard over bottom of prepared crust. Top with half of sliced bananas, then 1 cup custard, covering bananas completely. Repeat layering with remaining bananas and remaining custard. Chill banana cream pie until filling is set and crust softens slightly, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. Cut pie into wedges and serve

Knights in Shining Armour return to Edinburgh Castle - Monday, 30 July 2012
Four suits of Royal Armouries' armour, worn by mounted cavalry in the early 17th century, have been returned to the Great Hall at Edinburgh Castle.
They were removed eight years ago to allow for essential conservation work on the metal work and leather strapping and to create more secure mounts.
Hugh Morrison, Collections Registrar at Historic Scotland said: "We are delighted to receive the armour back from the Royal Armouries. These beautifully conserved pieces provide a magnificent centrepiece to the Great Hall."
James IV's Great Hall was restored by the notable Edinburgh architect Hippolyte Blanc in 1886 and was subsequently filled by General Lyttleton Annesley, Governor of the Castle with a huge number of arms and armour to create a magnificent Victorian trophy room.
Royal Armouries' Director Peter Armstrong said: "It is great news that these fine examples of early 17th century armour are now back in the historic setting of Edinburgh Castle's Great Hall. Our conservation team is constantly striving to maintain its worldwide reputation as a centre of excellence for the conservation of arms and armour, and this was a fine opportunity to showcase their work."

I have an older Kelley's bottling/grocers tank I would like to use but it's galvanized.
I do have a can of Camcote but was worried that it might not be safe as the tank is a double boiler so it would be heated. Now that tank would never really get that hot, but looking on the 'net I can't seem to find anything on camcote and heat.

The White Mountains have long been a popular destination for skiers since the 19th century. Long before skiing really took off in the United States, the White Mountains were home to "some of the first purpose-cut ski runs on the continent and a host of other innovations in grooming, lifts, and ski schools were developed here in the 1930s," according to National Geographic. The high peaks make for an exhilarating ride, and the conditions are perfect for powder. Despite the area's longtime fame for great slopes, new skiers are still discovering New Hampshire's many great mountains and the area continues to receive positive press.
Last year Bretton Woods praised New Hampshire as a top ski spot for families, with "beautiful views of Mount Washington and gorgeous grooming." The Boston Globe picked Wildcat Mountain this year for "yanked-from-postcard views" that also get you a great vantage point of The Presidential Range and Mount Washington, and highlighted Cannon Mountain in Franconia Notch for its "character and soul" as one of the oldest ski resorts in the US. The New York Times highlighted Wildcat Mountain in 2009 for its seclusion, simplicity, and prime terrain for beginning and intermediate skiers, as well as those looking for a more wild ride.
Cross country skiers can enjoy numerous trails throughout the North Conway area, including those along Route 16A in Intervale, by the Saco River (across the street from the Green Granite, or ungroomed trails for more experienced skiers through the White Mountain National Forest. Less experienced skiers can explore Whitaker Woods or make their way to Intervale for a fun day trip. It's a whole new way to experience the natural wonder of New Hampshire than summer hikes and ATV excursions.
With such a great history and range of trails, it's no wonder so many people flock to North Conway for both cross country and downhill skiing. There's also so much to see and do after a day hitting the slopes, like swinging by Moat Mountain Smokehouse and Brewery for local beers, wood-fired pizzas, burgers, nachos, and BBQ. Flatbread Company features organic fare, clay oven pizzas, with free-range meats, top-quality cheeses and plenty of toppings to fill you up after an active day. If you need supplies and equipment, there are numerous sports stores that stock what skiers need, including Joe Jones Sports, Bob and Terry's Ski and Sports, North Conway Ski Equipment, and more.
If this weren't enough to get you excited, the 2013-2014 ski season promises to be excellent with plenty of snow. An early start to the winter season and the placement of the jet stream over North Conway has many ski enthusiasts eagerly anticipating getting out on the slopes. As Outside Magazine explains, "The North Atlantic Oscillation, which follows the spread of high and low pressure across the northern Atlantic, is predicted to be "moderately negative" this winter. Negative NAO values can send storms as far south as Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia; although LaRosa sees the biggest dumps come to the Northeast."
Be sure to book your stay at the Green Granite Inn for a ski vacation and make the most of this favorable winter weather pattern! See you in North Conway soon!


text: I'm getting a ticking noise from the front end, sounds like it's coming from the driver-side wheel well when I have the steering wheel turned to the right. It speeds up with speed, so I think it's something on the wheel. No noise when driving straight or turning to the left. It also looks like I might have a leak. There's fluid on the lower A arm, but nothing obvious. Anyone have any ideas? I haven't had a chance to get under the truck and look at it. I checked the power steering fluid and brake fluid and both look full. No other symptoms except a sound of the power steering noise at full lock. I plan to take it to a shop this weekend to have it checked out if I can't diagnose the problem.

New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum is poised for a shift to the middle order for the England test series.
When the two-test beating in South Africa ended, national coach and selector Mike Hesson made it clear he had reservations on whether opening was the best role for McCullum in the test setup.
Every position would be under discussion before the first test of the ANZ international series in Dunedin, starting on March 6.
But there is a dilemma for Hesson and national selection manager Kim Littlejohn; McCullum's average as an opener is 35.77, slightly above his overall average in 72 tests. Those numbers make him the leading candidate to go in first.
In South Africa early last month, McCullum's role was to blunt the hosts' potent new ball attack. He battled hard, made a half century in the first test at Cape Town, but it was clear that playing an anchor role was not the best use of his batting talents.
Now it seems a move to No 5 is in the pipeline for the skipper.
"There's every chance McCullum may bat at No 5," Littlejohn said.
"Mike has some pretty strong views about where he believes Brendon is best suited. We've had some preliminary discussions, nothing is locked and loaded but it's definitely under consideration."
In 10 innings in that position, McCullum averages 26. He hasn't batted there since Brisbane in November, 2008.
A middle-order of Kane Williamson, the returning Ross Taylor, McCullum, Dean Brownlie and wicketkeeper BJ Watling at No 7 looks as good as it could get, in the continued self-imposed absence of Jesse Ryder.
Williamson, for all his troubles in South Africa, scored a century three tests ago in Sri Lanka; Brownlie made his maiden test ton at Cape Town; Watling was the pick of the batsmen in South Africa and world No 8-ranked Taylor's average of 43.57 is comfortably the best among the country's batting contenders.
McCullum moving would create another dilemma: what to do at the top of the order. Moving McCullum's finger into one hole of a leaky wall leaves another one unprotected.
Martin Guptill is having major red ball troubles, but has some credit remaining; Peter Fulton was lined up for the role in South Africa before getting injured, and his past three innings for Canterbury since returning are 59, 94 and 52.
The 34-year-old's last tests were just over three years ago against Pakistan, batting in the middle order, where he was found out by the top-class, but now disgraced, Mohammad Asif, Umar Gul and Mohammad Amir.
But his 709 Plunket Shield runs at 64 this season have him second on aggregates behind only Central Districts' Carl Cachopa.
Hesson was adamant in South Africa that Watling would not go back to the top of the order.
Littlejohn confirmed Wellington's Luke Ronchi is under consideration - which would suggest revisiting the gritty, technically sound Watling's role - although Ronchi's international experience for Australia was in the one-day formats.
"We do have problems at No 1 and 2 and we've got to tidy those up," Littlejohn said. "The underlying thing is to get stability."
The test squad is due to be named on February 20.

Yesterday I was at my local Wal-Mart buying a bag of Purina Dog Chow for
my dog Fred. I was in the checkout line when the woman behind me asked if I had a dog. I started to ask her what did she think I had, an elephant?
However since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't own a dog, that I was starting the Purina Dog Chow Diet for the second time. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina Dog Chow nuggets and only eat one or two nuggets every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it's good for you and I was going to try it again.
I added that the last time I was on the dog chow diet I lost 50 pounds but woke up in intensive care with tubes coming out of my nose and bladder and IVs in both my arms. By now everyone in the check out line was enthralled with my story.
Horrified, the woman asked me if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off the curb to sniff an Irish Setter's hind end and a Pontiac ran over me.
I thought the man waiting in line behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say. BTY, I can't shop at Wal-Mart anymore.
