Measuring Tips
Carefully measure overall dimensions of furniture: the width from side to side, the depth from front to back, and the height from the top of the back to the floor.
These slipcovers work best with fitted cushion-style furniture, where the square or rectangular back cushions are aligned one-to-one over rectangular or square-seat cushions, or on loose scattered back-cushion furniture; they are not designed for futons, recliners, wicker-rattan or iron furniture, sectionals or wing chairs.
Our slipcovers are designed to fit a wide variety of furniture styles. As a result, there may be more fabric than you need.

I made a split a couple weeks ago and the original queen failed in the nuc. I placed another frame of brood to help the bees make a knew queen. The made multiple queen cells on multiple frames that looked good. This afternoon i checked the nuc to see it had a laying queenthe queen and I observed a queen bee what she was not as long as other queens i have and she was skinny. When i was looking at her on the frame she flew away. The hive acted queenless when i opened it up and i didn't observe any eggs or brood.
Was this a virgin queen that will now go mate and come back (hopefully)?
Or was this just a small queen that will be lost forever?
Should i wait to see if the queen comes back or order a queen?
How do you tell the difference in a virgin queen and a mated queen?

Up to 12 million Bees Found Dead in Florida and No one Knows Why
.Authorities have already ruled out disease, including the infamous Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), as the cause of a recent honeybee holocaust that took place in Brevard County, Florida. The UKs Daily Mail reports that up to 12 million bees from roughly 800 apiaries in the area all dropped dead at roughly the same time around September 26 and local beekeepers say pesticides are likely to blame.
The Florida die-off coincides with a recent county-wide mosquito eradication effort, during which helicopters flew over various parts of the county and sprayed airborne pesticides. Officials, of course, deny that this taxpayer-funded spraying initiative had anything to do with the bee genocide, though. The fact that it was so widespread and so rapid, I think you can pretty much rule out disease, said Bill Kern, an entomologist from the University of Florida (UF) to Florida Today. It happened essentially almost in one day. Usually diseases affect adults or the brood, you dont have something that kills them both.

See Requirements for Cloudera Manager for more detailed information on which platforms are supported.
What database platforms are supported?
See Requirements for Cloudera Manager for more detailed information on which database systems are supported.
What are the differences between the Free Edition and the Enterprise Edition?
Cloudera Manager Free Edition is a free version of the commercially-available Cloudera Manager product. Cloudera Manager Free Edition and Cloudera Manager automate the installation and configuration of CDH3 or CDH4 on an entire cluster. Cloudera Manager provides additional functionality.
See the matrix at How to Upgrade the Free Edition to Cloudera Manager in Cloudera Manager Free Edition Installation Guide for a comparison of the two versions. You can also view a discussion of the differences at http://www.cloudera.com/products-services/tools/.
The full-featured version of Cloudera Manager is available as part of the Cloudera Enterprise subscription offering, and requires a license.
If you are not an existing Cloudera customer, contact Cloudera Sales for information about obtaining the full-featured version of Cloudera Manager.
If you are already a Cloudera customer and you need to upgrade the Free Edition to Cloudera Manager, contact Cloudera Support to obtain a license.
What version of CDH is required for Cloudera Manager 4.5?
See Requirements for Cloudera Manager for detailed information.
Can I upgrade CDH using Cloudera Manager?
The Cloudera Manager upgrade wizard does not upgrade CDH. For instructions on upgrading CDH3, see Upgrading CDH3 in the CDH3 Installation Guide. For instructions on upgrading CDH4, see Upgrading from CDH3 to CDH4 in the CDH4 Installation Guide.
What version of CDH does Cloudera Manager 4.5 install?

Do slave nodes need access to the Cloudera public repositories for an install with Cloudera Manager?
Nodes only require access to installation files. These files are available on the Internet, but it is also possible to create local repositories that serve these files to the nodes that are being upgraded. If you have established local repositories, no access to the Cloudera public repository is required. For more information, see Creating and Using your own Repository.
Can I use the Service Monitoring features of Cloudera Manager (Enterprise Edition) without using the Service and Configuration Management piece?
No. To understand the desired state of the system, we need the global configuration that the service management feature of Cloudera Manager gathers and provides. The Cloudera Manager agent doubles as both the agent for supervision and for monitoring.
Can I run the Cloudera Management services and the Hadoop services on the host where the Cloudera Manager Server is running?
Yes. This is especially common in deployments that have a small number of hosts.
Which sudo commands does Cloudera Manager run?
The sudo commands are:
- yum (Red Hat/CentOS/Oracle)
- zypper (SUSE )
- apt-get (Debian/Ubuntu)

- id
- rm
- mv
- chown
- install
Does Cloudera Manager Support an API?
Yes. A comprehensive set of APIs for the various features is supported in this version of Cloudera Manager. For more information about the Cloudera Manager API, see the Cloudera Manager API Documentation. You can download this Cloudera Manager API example that shows how to integrate with Nagios or other systems.
Using Cloudera Manager
How do I set the rack topology script?
Cloudera Manager includes internal rack awareness scripts, but you must specify the racks where the hosts in your cluster are located. If your cluster contains more than 10 hosts, Cloudera recommends that you specify the rack for each host. HDFS and MapReduce will automatically use the racks you specify. For instructions, see Specifying the Racks for Hosts.
How do I configure my daemons to use a custom GC parameter?
Every Java-based role in Cloudera Manager has a configuration setting called "Additional Java configuration options for <role>" where you can enter command line options. Commonly, garbage collection flags or extra debugging flags would be passed here.
To find the appropriate configuration setting, select the service you want to modify in the Cloudera Manager UI, then use the keyword search to search for the Additional Java configuration options.
You can add configuration options for all instances of a given role by making this configuration change at the Service level. For example, to modify the setting for all DataNodes, select the HDFS service, then modify the "Additional Java configuration options for Datanode" setting).
To modify a configuration option for a given instance of a role, select the service, then select the particular role instance (e.g. a specific DataNode) you want to modify. The configuration settings you modify will apply to the selected role instance only.
For detailed instructions see the Modifying Service Configurations section of the Cloudera Manager User Guide.

The Green Bathroom
Want to keep it green in all that you do? Here are some easy ways for you to relax in the bath and keep it green too:
1 Think About What You Really Need
Learn about cosmetics ingredients and their effects. Read product labels. Avoid ingredients that are not beneficial to you or that are harmful to the environment. Ask for samples so you can try a product for a few days to help you make the right choices. The single most eco-friendly thing you can do is avoid collecting half-used bottles of products that weren't right for your needs.
2 Use Solid, Unpackaged Products
Choose bar soap instead of shower gel or liquid soap. Use shampoo bars instead of bottled shampoo and solid massage bars instead of massage oil. These are all better for the environment as there is little or no packaging. Solid products also contain no water and therefore need no environmentally damaging preservatives.
3. Check for A Use-By Date
No use-by date usually means that the product is heavily preserved. (Read the ingredient label and you'll see...) More preservatives down the drain are bad for the environment.
4 Avoid Disposables
Look for personal hygiene products with extended life spans such as toothbrushes and razors with disposable heads. If you only replace the head you are throwing less away.
5 Explore Water Recycling Systems
When you have a bath, make the most of it! Take at least 45 minutes out of your schedule to relax and unwind. Even better, share your bath with your partner. When you're finished, try recycling your bath water. You can use it to water your house plants, garden or lawn. Your begonias will thank you.
6 Don't Leave the Tap On
When you shave, brush your teeth, or even shower, only turn on the water when absolutely necessary: at the beginning and the end. While you're soaping yourself or when brushing, stop gallons of water rushing down the drain needlessly by turning off the tap.
7 Recycle Your Plastics
Most of us are already in the habit of recycling containers like water bottles and milk jugs but we don't always remember that most of our bathroom containers can be recycled too. Just be sure to wash them first. If you don't, they can contaminate the rest of your recycling and end up in a landfill. Plus, for every 5 black LUSH pots you return to you local shop you can pick up a free Fresh Face Mask!
8 Shop With A Lower Carbon Footprint
Whenever you shop for cosmetic products, take your own reusable bag. Buy local products when possible (look at the label, was it made locally or air freighted in from afar?) and avoid buying products with excessive packaging (remember that sometimes the contents cost less than the packaging). Reduce your carbon footprint even more by walking or cycling to the shops. At the very least, take public transportation or carpool.
9 Save Water from Going Down the Drain
Leave a water bottle filled with sand in the back of your toilet tank. This displaces the water so it takes less every time you flush. And remember; if it's yellow, let it mellow. Every flush uses gallons of water, so if you flush every other pee, you'll be saving thousands of gallons of water per year.
10 Use Green Cleaning Products
Using conventional cleaning products in the bathroom exposes you and the environment to hundreds of harmful chemicals. By choosing 'Green' cleaning products, your bathroom comes just as clean, but you won't be inhaling toxins or contributing to environmental problems. When LUSH first started in the U.K, it was one of the few companies to list their ingredients on labels. Though there was no law saying it had to, LUSH was just incredibly proud of their formulations! Now in the U.K, and in North America it is mandatory to quantitatively list ingredients on cosmetics, and we are still very proud to do so.

Agreed. Anybody who bitches about individuals getting paid under a negotiated contract with a business are dumbarses.
Any jack arse can look backwards and decide if an investment was worth it, but it's a bit harder to project future value. Based on Brees' 2011 season, and the preceding 4 seasons, I would say there was no other alternative than to pay the man and pay him big. He's having a mediocre year (by his standards), true, but I am pretty damn sure he'll bounce right back, just as he did in 2009 and 2011, coming off of less than great / high interception seasons.
I was happy we retained him as well. The reason i'm not happy is because he hasnt been playing like he deserves to be the highest paid player in NFL history.

I read FXGuide's Assassin's Creed III tech article. Loved it - but nothing really goes in depth to currently one of the best looking oceans for the PC platform in the shape of Black Flag.
Question for the experts -
How did they do the water? I read several SIGGRAPH papers and stuff on fluid dynamics. Did they use a "mesh" which had physics based wave frequency equations built in? If no one knows - mind telling me the most common way one makes a realistic ocean with beautiful colors like Black Flag?
Also what exactly are "shaders". I'm guessing it's a programmed script that draws pixels in a specific way...but can someone explain how "shallow water shaders" are more "advanced" in the next-gen version of this game?
Thank you,

REVIEW: World War Z
In a moment the world can change, and in this film that thought becomes literal when ex-U.N. worker Gerry Lane find himself in the middle of an outbreak that defines deadly. Rushing his family to find a possible escape gives him horrible glimpses of the war that is to come. Trading his promise to once again take up his old position is all that keeps his family safe in a world where only the useful can be afforded to survive.
Crossing the globe to find the root of this pandemic is his only goal, that and returning to his family. Taking toll of the nature of this enemy only leads to more questions as friends and past foes fall underfoot of the zombie invasion. Humans are the weapon and they just might be the answer as well, only this experiment is on a world scale and the scientists are far and few between.
I had some misgivings about this film after hearing about the constant reshoot and the price tag attached to this project. I felt it would possibly be the big summer flop "that could have been something". Happily I was wrong and whatever they did to get past the bad parts has worked. The movie is clean and suspenseful with special effects, story and acting coming together to make a fun summer excursion. If you have the guts and are ready for the Zombie Apocalypse, then take a bite out of this movie before it decides to take a bite out of you!
Note: Worth the 3-D for the suspenseful and surprising moments.
Grade: B+
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Running time: 1hr 55mins.

As a stand-up comedian, he's consistently featured throughout the late-night circuit, including the Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and the Late Late show with Craig Ferguson. Also a former staff writer for both SNL and 30 Rock, Buress is the co-host of Comedy Central's The Eric Andre Show, and appears as a regular "expert" on FX's Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell. In addition, his debut comedy CD, My Name Is Hannibal (2010) and his Comedy Central one-hour special, Animal Furnace (2012), were both lavished with praise, each making multiple Top 10 lists.

Assemblyman Jared Huffman was sailing to an easy win Tuesday night over his Republican opponent, Tiburon investment adviser Dan Roberts, in the race for the new 2nd Congressional District seat.
With 35 percent of the vote counted, Huffman had a 70 percent share and Roberts had 30 percent.
Huffman, 48, will go to Washington, D.C., after serving the maximum allowable three terms in the state Assembly. Before joining the Assembly he worked as an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council and served 12 years on the board of the Marin Municipal Water District.
Huffman will take the place of Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Petaluma, 75, who is retiring after serving 20 years as Marin County's representative in Congress.
Huffman will be leaving the California Legislature, where Democrats rule, and joining the Republican-dominated House of Representatives.
"That's going to be a change, and I'm going to have to find a way to be effective with the hand that is dealt me," Huffman said.
"I will reach out," he said. "I will try to build some relationships and make some friends across party lines even as I work in the years ahead to try to change the majority to Democratic."
Huffman said he was encouraged Tuesday by President Obama's victory and the Democrats' ability to maintain control of the Senate.
"I think there is a statement there that the public has seen enough of this extreme ideology above everything else," Huffman said.
He added, "We're really struggling right now with the question of whether our government is entirely about ideology or whether it is about problem solving. I'm going to do my best to be on the problem-solving side."
Huffman said his top priorities will be working to get Americans back to work by pushing for increased investment in critical infrastructure, education, clean energy solutions and bolder action to end the mortgage foreclosure crisis.
Roberts had to cope with a preponderance of registered Democrats in the district and a dearth of campaign funds. Huffman collected more than $1.3 million in campaign contributions compared with about $44,000 for Roberts. Roberts attempted to compensate for his lack of financial backing by contributing $210,000 of his own money to his campaign.
Roberts said he had no regrets, however.
"I think democracy and voice are very imporant," Roberts said. "I just didn't attract enough of the independents or Reagan conservative Democrats, and Jared ran a strictly on the message campaign, and it resonated."

So many fearful people think that God is about rigid rules and exclusion; they forget that God and spirituality are about love and inclusion.
What a celebratory event, and it is especially delightful to be happening here in our conservative valley.
Thank you Danville Weekly, for letting the community know about this life-affirming, loving event that celebrates human nature in its infinite variety and complexity.

Kevin Grandia | December 10, 2009
By Kevin Grandia • Thursday, December 10, 2009 - 12:56
Christopher Monckton is making quite a show of himself at the Copenhagen climate talks.
Last night we reported that Monckton publicly called a group from Sustain US a bunch of "Nazis" and "Hitler Youth."
Now in a video today he's shown droning on in great detail about the science of climate change (although he has absolutely no background in the area of climate change research) with the same young people he called Nazis the night before.
Monckton's intolerance and gall is outrageous. But what still remains more outrageous is that some mainstream media continue to use him as a credible source at the climate talks.
I tell you, whoever has the time to follow Monckton around Copenhagen with a video camera is going to get a lot of great clips. And I'll gladly promote them.
Here's the video:

I'm sure it makes Monckton look dumb. There's something admirable in how he keeps up the fight with this stuff. I would have quit long ago if I were him.

I heard Monckton debate Richard Littlemore on the Roy Green show here in canada. That is when i first started follwing him, he has an excelent grasp of the facts, is quick witted and a formidable debater. I Understand why Desmog would want to try and discredit him.
Since you can't watch the video, listen to this.
Jim Eager replied on Permalink
Well of course he has
an excellent grasp of the facts since he made up his own.
Geez, I mean if he can't even recall his own facts when he needs them, what use would he be as a global warming/climate change denier?

Roy Green was pretending to be a neutral observer when talking to Monckton the other day. funny stuff. Monckton throwing insults at Richard Littlemore and Green supposedly taking the high road. Ha!
MichaelMaser replied on Permalink
This emperor 'er lord has no
scruples, authentic background in science, published research, depths to which he will stoop in making a mockery of authentic climate science, trouble lying about his background, Noble prize as he claims, no trouble hitching his wagon to the petro-coal juggernaut. Oh, right, he has no real 'Lordship' either. sigh …
Probably has some pretty nice duds, however.
Dennis W. replied on Permalink
More, please!
Is there a fund where I can contribute so someone will follow him and record everything he says at Copenhagen?
I love the part where he keeps refering to the group as the Hitler Youth and the one guy says to him: "I'm Jewish." But Monckton just keeps going on.
Who is intolerant here?
There are two fundamental differences that Monckton and the ones who applaud him overlook:
1. Hitler Youth was 100% controlled by the Nazi government. SustainUS is an independent organisation.
2. The Nazi government had abolished democracy. The US have a healthy and well-functioning democracy.
The worst thing you can say about the SustainUS people is that they were being impolite. By labeling them 'Hitler Youth' and, taking it to the next level of hyperbole on the SPPI website, 'SS wannabees', Monckton shows he has no sense of proportion and that in reality opposing viewpoints scare the hell out of him. A viewpoint expressed by US citizen exercising their right to free speech.
My favourite moment is where Monckton refuses to shake the hand of Mr. Wessel. After all the noble skeptic words about seeking a 'debate', it is clear that this narcissistic skeptic is absolutely not interested in a dialogue.
Don't mention the War!
Hitler Youth? That's where I've seen Monckton before!! Fawlty Towers. He's straight out of Monte Python.
"Don't mention the War!"
Or, dare I say it, "Upper Class Twit of the Year"
It's just the name of a skit…

Here's one method of finishing a fillet using an 80-degree insert.
Just because a pocket calls for a fillet with a tight radius doesn't mean the entire thing should be rough-machined with a tool having that radius. As cutting tool manufacturer Greenleaf explains, radii like these typically are small. Therefore, a tool having such a radius is generally weak and must be indexed or changed numerous times if the plan is to use it to complete the entire operation. However, there are a number of effective methods available to finish fillet radii after performing roughing operations using a different, more appropriate tool. The company highlights four of them here.


text: I love reading the retrospectives on this site, so I wanted to do a very basic one for the 1991 World Championships in Munich, Germany, which also has the distinction of being the first World Championship with no figures. Men: 1st: Kurt Browning: Short Program Long Program 2nd: Viktor Petrenko: Short Program (placed first in the SP) Long Program 3rd: Todd Eldredge: Short Program Long Program Other highlights: Elvis Stojko became the first skater to land the quad-double-toe combo in competition Ladies 1st: Kristi Yamaguchi: Short Program Long Program 2nd: Tonya Harding: Short Program Long Program 3rd: Nancy Kerrigan: Short Program Long Program Both Eldredge & Kerrigan placed 5th after in the short program and vaulted up to 3rd after the free skate Pairs 1st: Mishkutenok & Dmitriev: Short Program Long Program 2nd: Brasseuer & Eisler: Short Program (1st in the short) Long Program 3rd: Kuchiki & Sand: Short Program Long Program Dance 1st: Duchesnay & Duchesnay: C.D. 2nd C.D. Original Dance Free Dance 2nd: Klimova & Ponomarenko: C.D. 2nd C.D. Original Dance (placed 3rd in the Original Dance) Free Dance 3rd: Usova & Zhulin: 1st C.D. 2nd C.D. Original Dance Free Dance The dance portion of the World Championships was particularly exciting. At the 1990 World Championships, the Duchesnays earned 5 or 6 perfect 6.0s for their transformative "Missing" F.D., choreographed by Isabelle's husband, Christopher Dean. In 1991 they introduced a new innovative free dance, titled "Reflections" but according to Dean, the judges felt the program was too avant garde, so for the World Championships, Dean choreographed "Missing: II" a continuation of their 1990 Free Dance. Klimova & Ponomarenko were one of ice dancing's most well-balanced and well-rounded teams, their programs contained great difficulty. Brilliant technicians, their free dance in 1991 was a departure from their more traditional free dances in the past. In this free dance, performed to Lawrence of Arabia, Sergei is the desert sand, while Marina is the wind. The next year, Duchesnays would skate a very traditional routine to West Side Story and Klimova & Ponomarenko would skate their most famous (and IMO-their best) free dance to Bach. Usova & Zhulin: Although their competitive accomplishments are nothing to sneeze at-2 Olympic medals, 1 world championship title; I always felt that it never reflected just how good U&Z were as a dance team. U&Z, who had gorgeous edges, lines and extension also had the misfortune of competing against K&P and G&P, two of the most technically accomplished and proficient ice dancing teams in history. Their Original Dance and Free Dance are highlights for me. The theme of their Free Dance was Paganini and his Muse and is a skated with great intensity, particularly by Zhulin swoon: ). The program might not have had the difficulty of K&P's free dance, but it was my favorite and reminded me a bit of their brilliant 1992 Four Seasons F.D.

Breast cancer fight: Think before you 'pink'
Corporations make billions in the name of fighting disease
BEND, Ore. - It's on your shampoo, at the mall, or just out on the streets. Not just in October -- Breast Cancer Awareness Month -- but 365 days year, you're bound to see the iconic pink ribbon.
"The pink campaign, the Susan G. Komen campaign, has been phenomenal," said Cheryl McIntosh with Studio Absolute out of Tumalo.
McIntosh is a branding and marketing expert who called the campaigns bringing women and Americans together "genius."
"Pink" campaigns have not only raised awareness for breast cancer, but also has made the fight against this disease the most well-branded in the world.
And now for many, the color pink cannot be removed from the cause.
"Having a color, and having this flag to hold is meaningful for us, it gives us something we can do," McIntosh explained, saying that people feel helpless when loved ones get sick and want to do anything they can to show support.
But still, breast cancer is not the No. 1 killer of women, or even the second. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more women die of heart disease and lung cancer.
In 2010, Susan G. Komen for the Cure raised more than $470 million for breast cancer. Compare that to the American Heart Association's 'Go Red for Women' campaign, which raised about $30 million.
It's a campaign others in the business of marketing envy for its success and pervasiveness.
But some on the inside think there just might be too much pink in the world, like Karuna Jaggar, executive director of San Francisco-based Breast Cancer Action, and head of the campaign "Think Before You Pink."
"Breast cancer is an enormously popular cause," Jaggar said. "Corporations are making billions, and it is billions with a 'B,' in the name of breast cancer. We want to make sure those dollars are making a difference for women living with, and at risk for breast cancer."
McIntosh said businesses regularly engage in what's called "cause marketing," and she said its human nature to want to do good while shopping.
"People want to help out where they can, and they're going to be buying a product anyways," McIntosh said. "And I'm totally guilty of this, I bought the Pink hair dryer, and I have no idea how much of my purchase actually went toward breast cancer research or awareness."
You too, may have bought the pink hair dryer, the 'I Love Boobies" bracelet or collected yogurt lids to show your support -- but how can you be sure companies aren't pocketing most, or all of the profits?
"The pink ribbon is entirely unregulated," Jaggar said. "So any company can put it on anything, and they do, and we've seen recently that we have a pink ribbon natural gas drilling rig."
And the women these companies claim to support might just be the ones most likely to reject it.
"While there are women who have certainly experienced positive feelings when they see that pink ribbon, there's many women who feel their disease is being exploited," Jaggar said. "And they feel that this is trivialized, and there is a cult of cheerful pink that denies the reality that breast cancer is an ugly disease."
Still, there's no denying advances in medicine, coupled with an explosion of awareness, are saving lives.
"There's far more good that has come out of the Susan G. Komen breast cancer awareness campaigns than bad," McIntosh said.
It may be nearly impossible to separate the good from the bad, but one thing is clear: the pink ribbon is as American as apple pie -- queen of the causes.
Jaggar shared a few tips with NewsChannel 21 on how people can know where their money is going when they buy products:
1. Consider donating directly to the organization you support
2. Read the fine print of products. Watch for a cap on donations.
3. Do you have to take an extra step, liking cutting out a label in order for the company to donate?
4.How much of your purchase is actually going toward breast cancer research?

Creamy Moroccan Chicken Recipe
14/02/2013 , 7:50 PM by Meghan Woods
This is so easy and really delicious. It's not really very Moroccan, apart from the spice mix. It's a real family favourite.
- 8 chicken thighs or equivalent in breasts if preferred
- Jar of Moroccan spice mix. If you haven't got the right one you can use whatever you have - maybe some ground coriander, curry spice, Portuguese spice mix, paprika.
- About a litre of chicken stock
- A 300ml carton of whipping cream. If you haven't got cream you could try using evaporated milk or long-life cream
- Salt and pepper to season to taste
- Oil for cooking - either some nice olive oil, or coconut oil, or rice bran oil.
1. Chop chicken into chunks about an inch big each way.
2. Put into a mixing bowl and sprinkle liberally with the spice mix.
3. Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large frying pan. Chuck in the chicken chunks and saute for a couple of minutes until you can smell the spices getting that rich and toasty aroma.
4. Add your chicken stock and poach the chicken in the stock for about 15 minutes.
5. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and set it aside. Bring the heat up and start the stock boiling while you pour in the cream. Cook this for a good 10 minutes to reduce the volume and concentrate the flavours. The more it is reduced, the richer the flavour.
6. Put enough rice for four people (about four handfuls) into a saucepan and cover with cold water with an inch of water over the top of the rice.
7. Bring to the boil, add some salt - just a smidge - and boil it for about a minute. Then put the lid on and turn off the heat and let it cook itself. Don't lift the lid off for at least 10 minutes!
8. While the rice is cooking itself, the stock should have reduced enough. Add the chicken back into the mix and voila! That's it. I like to add loads of cracked pepper at this stage, but the kids might object so maybe not.
9. The rice should be ready after about 10 minutes with the lid on. Use a knife or a chopstick to fluff it up, make a nest shape of a big dinner plate and ladle a pile of chicken into the middle. Don't forget to scrape all the gungy gooey bits off the side of the pan when you're dishing it up.
10. You can pretty it up by sprinkling some chopped fresh coriander leaves on the top, but I know that my children used to hate coriander when they were little, so use your own judgement there.

This recipe is fantastic! We had it for dinner last night with garlic quinoa. I'm glad there is left-overs for lunch!

I have two hives that I have been moving toward using mediums. The queens are up in the medium with a queen excluder between the deep and medium. The old deep super has duragilt foundation which I don't want to continue with.
1. How do I decommission the old deep? After any brood in them hatch out, will the bees fill the comb back up with honey/stores?
2. Should I cut the duragilt to medium frame size and keep any honey stores for this winter? Both of these are from spring swarms caught this spring. I am heading toward foundationless....already using in the mediums.
3. I have a new top entrance (shimmed migratory top) but I have been hesitant to close off the lower entrance (half-open). So the bees are all going in the bottom through the old brood super, up through the excluder, to get to the mediums. Is it harmful to close off the bottom entrance? Should I leave a small (3/8") opening in the lower for any drones?
4. It seems if I can get the bees to use the upper entrance I will have a lot fewer bees in the old deep..is that so?
Do I shake/brush the bees off the frames of the deep when doing the removal or do I use some kind of bee escape?
Thanks, Jim

Ride With Us Bus rider numbers are low
The Pine River City Council heard from Val Kuschel, transit manager, that the Ride With Us Bus is seeing low numbers.
Kuschel said at the March 12 city council meeting that the recent cuts to service are hurting the bus service, as ridership was down 45 percent in February compared to 2012.
Though riders per day are up from 37 to 39, the small rise is not making up for the riders lost in cutting service to three days a week. Additionally, expenses are up because of driver training and bus maintenance.
Kuschel said that Mann Lake Ltd, in Hackensack, is interested in using the service for employee transport. She planned to meet with representatives to explore options. Backus may also be interested in a service, Kuschel said, "as long as we don't take service from Pine River citizens."
Public safety
Pine River Police Chief Paul Sand reported 91 calls in February, including 28 traffic, two DUIs, five thefts and 10 medical calls.
Sand also reported that the department now has four reserve officers.
In other business March 12, the council:
• Rescinded an ordinance adopted last month relating to criminal history background checks for applicants for city employment and city licenses. The ordinance was rescinded because of errors, and a corrected ordinance was passed.
• Decided to have clean-up day once again in May. A date for the event was not decided as of March 12.
• Learned that two brochures were developed for the implementation stage of the wellhead protection program, and two more brochures were ordered from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). According to the MDH, the program is a way to protect drinking water by managing sources of contamination.

Suspicious package at Parkview not dangerous
PUEBLO, Colo. - A suspicious package was deemed not dangerous after it was found in the parking garage at Parkview Medical Center Wednesday night.
The package was found on the first level of the garage around 9:30 p.m. A security guard made the discovery and called police.
A portion of the parking garage was blocked off, as were some nearby streets. There were no evacuations inside the hospital itself.
On Thursday morning, the Pueblo Police Department announced that the items were found to be not dangerous. The items consisted of an empty 20 lb. propane tank, a suitcase and a golf club cart. Police say that someone intended to dispose of these items.

Open burning, private use of fireworks banned in Colo.
DENVER - Gov. John Hickenlooper signed an Executive Order on Thursday that bans open burning and private use of fireworks throughout Colorado because of very dry conditions and high fire danger.
The ban does not apply to campfires in constructed, permanent fire pits or fire grates within developed camp and picnic grounds or recreation sites; liquid-fueled or gas-fueled stoves; fireplaces contained within buildings; charcoal grills at private residences; or specific prescribed or controlled burns for agricultural or irrigation purposes.
Commercial, professional and municipal fireworks displays are allowed when written approval has been granted by the sheriff of the county in which the fireworks display is to occur.
"We can't completely eliminate the threat of wildfire because there's no way to control Mother Nature," Hickenlooper said. "But we can take steps to reduce the risks of more wildfires starting. This ban is a necessary step to help protect people, property and the beautiful state we live in." Most Colorado counties have already adopted fire bans. At least 44 of the state's 64 counties are now listed with "high," "very high" or "extreme" wildfire danger. The wildfire danger and individual restrictions for every Colorado county can be found at www.colorado.gov.
The Executive Order will stay in effect until it is amended or rescinded. The full text of the order is attached to this press release.

UPDATE: Children's home director speaks
Director says there's been misinformation
BRISTOL, Tenn. - We have new details about the sexual abuse allegations against Tri-State Baptist Children's Home workers.
We spoke to the home's director, Mike Nixon, Friday to hear their side of the story.
Nixon told us there is no way Rosa Emma Honeycutt knew the sexual abuse was happening.
She's been the supervisor at the facility since 1961, he said, adding that the home opened in 1960.
Nixon told us he was the first person to find out there was anything going on.
Someone came to him back in May 2013 to tell him there was abuse happening in the home, he said. Nixon wouldn't tell us his informant's name.
The Tri-State Children's Home board then held a meeting and that's when Honeycutt found out about the abuse, he said.
The Sullivan County District Attorney's office doesn't agree. "I can't get into the specific facts and names, but she did have proof sexual abuse was occurring," said prosecutor Julie Canter.
We read the Grand Jury indictment reports, which charge Honeycutt with violation of reporting child sexual abuse. The report charges her with knowing the abuse was going on from October 2012 to June 2013.
But director Nixon told us Honeycutt is innocent. She made the call to the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office at that board meeting, he said.
Nixon told us no one picked up when Honeycutt called so she left a message with a detective.
The Sullivan County District Attorney's office wouldn't tell us who tipped them off. "That is actually confidential and I can't really say," said Canter.
The Grand Jury charged employee Sonya Pickel with the facilitation of the rape of a child, statutory rape by an authority figure, aggravated statutory rape, and giving alcohol to minors. "Sonya Pickel was employed by the Baptist Home and had supervisory authority over both male and female children," said Canter.
Director Nixon told us, however, that Pickel was a house worker who cleaned the rooms and washed the dishes.
The sexual abuse also did not happen at the home but at a nearby hotel, he said. Nixon told us they have the receipt.
The Sullivan County Sheriff's Office said Honeycutt posted bail and is no longer in jail.
Nixon said he isn't able to go on camera until he talks to his lawyer on Tuesday.

text: So I got a call from the local university about a swarm. I went and checked it out, found it, came up with a game plan. Drove over to my buddies place, close by and I had a nuc out as a swarm trap. Figured I would pick it up and hive the swarm in it. I had been over there at lunch, but it turns out, between 1pm and 4pm a swarm decided to move into the nuc!! So I didn't get a chance to hive the original swarm.. I'll bring up a fresh nuc tomorrow and see if they are still there at lunch! I think swarm season finally hit in the Eugene, Oregon area..

We all had the chance to discover various SS13 collection created by incredibly talented designers, and not only swiss ones as you might think but more precisely europeean. The ones that caught my attention? MSMG, a brand you all know of course, presented a very safari chic inspired collection with a lot of prints and pattern mix. Laurel, a stunning brand straight from Germany, showed us how to play with the colours : all those vivid shades made me want to go back to summer again. Finally Mila Schön created some absolutely breathtaking pieces : my eyes got captured by her incredible designs, perfectly feminine with some extremely glamourous details such as pearls, rhinestones, crystals and above all a structures to die for. So the Fashion Days definitely began with a great ambiance, amazing designers, great music ( a brand called Pegasus performed in between two designers and I absolutely loved it) and very nice people. The level has been set very high and I was more than impressed and surprised in a good way to see such a good organization. Why surprised? Well you see, fashion has always been a difficult subject here in Switzerland. To be able to see this evolution is absolutely great and I hope that our market will continue making steps further in the fashion industry : Switzerland has got a huge potential which would be so interesting to develop. Hope you guys will enjoy those pictures, for the occasion I decided to wear a really comfortable look made of a new dress I got thanks to Irene from Blackpool, she is a young and talented swiss designer I discovered at the Edelweiss Showroom in Geneva and now I am absolutely in love with her creations. A talent which everybody should keep an eye on, isn't there something à-la Mary Katrantzou in this dress?

Current Story
Shares of Sequenom (SQNM) bounced back following the announcement of its Q3 financial results. The firm's Q3 2013 revenues were double those of Q3 2012, which led to lower losses than analysts expected. The stock rallied, recovering most of the 23% dip caused by a stock selloff at the end of October. Investors who hysterical sold SQNM at the time did it following a U.S. District Court overturning Sequenom's patent covering its non-invasive prenatal Down syndrome test.
The increase in the Q3 revenues beyond analysts' expectations was made possible through the firm's struggle towards collecting unpaid bills for MaterniT21test, the firm's prenatal non-invasive pregnant women blood test for Down syndrome in fetuses. As a matter of fact, 2013 total revenues were $44 million, an increase of 92% compared to the third quarter of 2012. Diagnostic revenues were $33.3 million, up 166% from the same period last year and up 36% sequentially. Diagnostic revenues are recorded primarily on a cash basis. The Sequenom's Biosciences business, formerly known as genetic analysis generated $10.7 million in revenues, UP 3%
Sequenom worked on five fronts towards increasing the sales of its prenatal test: Collecting unpaid bills, bringing in more third party payers, improving on its tests, reducing its operating expenses and reclaiming its patent that protects its rights to its breakthrough test. The results point to an obvious success.
Indeed, Sequenom collected unpaid bills and signed additional contracts with new payers, which brought the number of the covered lives for its diagnostic services to approximately 90 million. In Q3, the firm has run 38,600 MaterniT21 Plus tests and it is continuing active negotiations with third party payers, including Blue Cross and Blue Shield affiliates and others.
Sequenom reduced its operating expenses by approximately $13 million through eliminating 75 positions and reducing further costs through its ongoing restructuring efforts. It launched an enhanced sequencing series that detect certain micro-deletions as well as autosomal trisomies for chromosomes 16 and 22 – bringing to physicians clinically relevant information in addition to the Down syndrome results. The recent introduction of the enhanced series for the MaterniT21 PLUS test is expected to help improve Sequenom's competitive position. Recent preliminary results over the past two weeks have been encouraging.
Sequenom still expect to meet its goal of accessioning 150,000 tests by the end of 2013. The firm has now around 1,800 blood collecting locations under contract throughout all 50 states, a number that is expanding on a monthly basis.
The MaterniT21test Patent: U.S. District Court considered that Lo 540 U.S. Patent No. 6,258,540 is invalid. Sequenom believes that the court's decision is wrong and misapplies or ignores controlling law. Drs. Lo and Wainscoat invented a novel method for detecting paternally inherited fetal DNA in maternal plasma and their invention is more than just the discovery of unpatented natural phenomenon. Indeed, the disputed patent does not grant exclusive rights on the fetal DNA in maternal blood, but it grants the right on the technique invented to get to that fetal DNA, which nobody was capable of doing before. The technique used is not a natural phenomenon and can be patented.
It is important to note, however, that other country's equivalents of the low 540 patent are not affected by this U.S. court ruling and remain valid in the European Union, Japan, Australia, Canada and Hong Kong where they are issued.
Sequenom intends to appeal the court's order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
The Generic analysis business: With the completion of early access program to its ultrasensitive mutation detection methodology, the firm has declared its readiness to add a new application to its MassARRAY platform. This ultrasensitive method has the potential to be best in practice at detecting clinically significant mutations from heterogeneous tissue and liquid biopsies at very high sensitivity levels. The firm expects the launch in the fourth quarter.
Sequenom believes that MassARRAY capabilities is being and will continue to be further expanded in a way that other technologies cannot meet with the same cost efficiency. With this capability, the firm believes that in combination with liquid biopsies can aid in important areas such as minimal residual disease monitoring.
In the conference call, Sequenom confirmed it has engaged Jefferies & Company to review strategic alternatives for the generic analysis business now doing business as Sequenom Bioscience. Sequenom believes its Sequenom Bioscience may be better situated with a larger company that has the global reach and resources to fully capitalize on the technology and commercial synergies.
Prohost Comments: It is hard for anybody involved in the biotech industry not to notice Sequenom's determination to become the leader in the prenatal genetic clinical laboratory diagnostic testing and other genetic testing. The efforts spent by the firm to solve unwarranted external problems are evident and the firm's success in dealing with these nuisances is also evident. Most of the firms' efforts are spent on solving problems of bureaucratic payers, including the insurance firms, Medicare and Medicaid. The biggest losers at this saga is not Sequenom, but the patients' wellbeing, the payers themselves and the healthcare budget. Compared to the invasive prenatal tests, Sequenom's non-invasive tests would enable saving millions of dollars a year they are currently spending on the invasive procedures and on their complications, which might require treatment and sometimes long-term hospitalization, in addition to the invasive test cost.
Bottom line, the firm's laboratory sales are increasing in a market that is large enough to bring in huge revenues into Sequenom's coffers. This is especially true as the firm continues to offer more tests for various diseases that Sequenom Lab can diagnose as early as in the fetus. The cash available in the firm will be definitely helped for much more than analysts' suggested time when added to it the revenue stream from the Down syndrome and other tests. A successful outcome of the firm decision to sell its Genetic Analysis business could also add cash to the firm's coffers. Also would help is winning the battle of the patent. Losing this patent in the U.S., is not the big deal investors perceived when they sold their stock following the court decision. The firm is the leader in the Down syndrome diagnostic market, having currently almost 60% of it. The improvement in its technologies and the addition of more third party payers to Sequenom list would guarantee huge sales' growth that exceed several fold the firm's current market cap.

Underscored: YuNa Kim
OK, seriously though.
-Evan Lysacek SP (Plushenko and Takahashi deserved a wider margin of a lead)
-All the ladies (but I admit YuNa a little more than the others, particularly LP; I think the judges got carried away;145 would have been sufficiently proportionally boosted and deserving--adjusting SP and LP, I would have given her 220-221 total score still)
-Dom/Shabs OD, that was hideous. I admit their CD was the best (from my amateur, non-technical eyes), but just for the ugliness that was their OD, they should not have podium'd
Johnny Weir (SP and especially LP)
Kozuka LP
Johnny Weir
Plushenko (his PCS scores were ridiculous for the programs he skated)
Yu Na
Anyway, I admire Rachael's academic ability and I think its wonderful she can balance both skating and school. However, quite frankly, what should her academics, dogs, acceptance into Stanford, or supeior oratory skills have to do with her skating? The judges need to take into account her skating and ONLY her skating. These other things are irrelevant.
As for Mirai, Lepisto, Ando and if they deserved to be higher than Rachael, I will admit that being beautiful can help a skater earn a better placement but feel like this is very subtle and doesn't go the opposite way, ie a skater won't get pushed down lower because she isn't a knockout. I just think Lepisto, Mirai and to a lesser extent Miki all had programs that really suited their skating styles and emphasized their strengths. Mirai is cute and sassy, Laura elegant and upbeat, Miki serious and dramatic. If Mirai had skated to music like Yuna's Gershwin in the LP, I bet she would have seemed boring, or if Lepisto had skated to Chicago like Alena I'm sure we'd all be scratching our heads, or if Miki skated to Romeo and Juliet it would have been totally flat - the thing is, they didn't chose ill-fitting music for their LPs and Rachael did.
I actually quite enjoyed Rachael's 'Romantic Rhapsody' free program a few years ago. That was soft and elegant. I will agree, however, that this season's free program to Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini is not suitable for her.
She's definitely pretty. Therefore, I think people's complaints about her are due to her skating.
As for Mirai, we barely heard much about her mom except before her skate for like five seconds. And no I don't think the judges were gifting her either. She has a beautiful line and flow to her skating and you need that just as much as her jumps. And she skated clean. I think Rachael was underscored, but I don't think it's right to assume that Mirai was overscored. She put down a better performance than Miki and Laura but not as well as Rochette. I think if anyone was overscored, it was Miki. Talk about a snoozer of a program.

A person who believes water fluoridation is a conspiracy by the medical community to keep people dependent on them, and that fluoride promotes, rather than hinders, tooth decay. Fluoridation has also been said to cause a whole range of illnesses, and was once believed, by far-right-wing activists, to turn people into Communists. This last belief featured prominently as a plot point in the classic movie "Dr. Strangelove."
"A Toother contacted me last night on Twitter after I retweeted Ezra Klein's story in the Washington Post on Portland voting on fluoridation. She said 'Wait til women understand Y kids need braces! OUCH' and sent me a bunch of links to groups in Canada."

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is cancer in the lymphatic system. Sixty percent of lymphomas are non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The lymphatic system is part of the immune system and functions to fight disease and infections.
The lymphatic system includes:
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma causes the cells in the lymphatic system to abnormally reproduce, eventually causing tumors to grow. Non-Hodgkin's disease cells can also spread to other organs and tissues in the body.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the third most common childhood cancer. It occurs most often in children between the ages of 7 and 11, but can occur at any age from infancy to adulthood.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma affects males almost three times more often than females, and is more common among Caucasian children than among African-American children and children of other races.
Staging and classification of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is based on the extent of the disease and the specific cells involved.
There are three subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, including the following:
Staging is the process of determining whether cancer has spread and, if so, how far. There are various staging symptoms that are used for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Always consult your child's physician for information on staging. One method of staging non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the following:
The specific cause of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is unclear. It is possible that genetics and exposure to viral infections may increase the risk for developing this malignancy. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has also been linked to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Non-Hodgkin's may be a second malignancy as a result of the treatment for certain cancers.
There has been much investigation into the association of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) that causes the mononucleosis infection; as well as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Both of these infectious viruses have been linked to the development of Burkitt's lymphoma.
The majority of Burkitt's lymphoma cases result from a chromosome rearrangement between chromosome #8 and #14, which causes genes to change positions and function differently, promoting uncontrolled cell growth. Other chromosome rearrangements have been seen in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (all types) that are also thought to promote excessive cell growth.
Children and adults with other hereditary abnormalities have an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, including patients with ataxia telangiectasia, X-linked lymphoproliferative disease or the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.
Most children have stage III or IV disease at the time of diagnosis because of the sudden onset of symptoms. The disease can progress quickly from a few days to a few weeks. A child can go from otherwise healthy to having multi-system involvement in a short time period.
Some children with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma have symptoms of an abdominal mass and have complaints of abdominal pain, fever, constipation and decreased appetite - due to the pressure and obstruction a large tumor in this area can cause.
Some children with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma have symptoms of a mass in their chest and have complaints of respiratory problems, pain with deep breaths (dyspnea), cough or wheezing.
Because of the rapid onset of this malignancy, any respiratory symptoms can quickly worsen, causing a life-threatening emergency.
The following are the most common symptoms of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, each child may experience the symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may resemble other blood disorders or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may include:
Specific treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Treatment may include (alone or in combination):
Prognosis greatly depends on:
As with any cancer, prognosis and long-term survival can vary greatly from child to child. Every child is unique and treatment and prognosis is structured around the child. Prompt medical attention and aggressive therapy are important for the best prognosis. Continuous follow-up care is essential for the child diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, as well as second malignancies, can occur in survivors of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. New methods are continually being discovered to improve treatment and to decrease side effects.

La habitación es igual que en las fotos, muy luminosa, limpia y acogedora, aunque, como da a una calle bastante transitada puede llegar a ser bastante ruidoso por la noche. Los baños y el ascensor son muy antiguos y estropean bastante la imagen de la vivienda. Está muy bien situado por la cercanía con el centro turistico pero es un barrio más bien...chungo, en su gran mayoría de inmigrantes y a todo paso nos encontrábamos mendigos y prostitutas. Nos hemos sentido seguras porque nadie se metía con nosotras pero estropea la primera impresión que te haces de Atenas. Miglen y su hermana muy amables, muy pendientes de nosotros y muy atentos. Por ese precio es una habitación recomendable.

I had wonderful time at Athens. The room is very nice, really well-kept and clean. Staff is helpful and polite. Surrounding is quite good however street noise is audible. The place is in very useful localization - approx. 5min. to Metro station and 15 min. to bus terminal.
I recommend very strongly this room and Miglen.
Modern spacious apartment close to public transport. The only negative is that it is located on a busy street and the noise is continuous with traffic all the time, especially the noise of buses and motorbikes.
Very friendly people and a nice apartment! We had a really great time, and if we are ever going to visit Athens again, we will definitely stay at Miglen's :)
Showed up a day and a half late due to flight delays and was still greeted and well taken great care of :)
The place is very central in Athens and there are a lot of cafes and shops open until very late and on sundays. The room itself is very hot but luckily you have a fan. The street that goes under the room is very loud. The hosts themselves are very nice and help you a lot to get around in Athens. I think you get what you pay for so you can't complain. Oh and Omonia is NOT dangerous, don't listen to the forums. It doesn't look wors than any less nicer part of your town.
Good place and good welcome from Miglen and his collegues. The apartment was very clean. A little problem with the hot water because it is only in the bathtub. The position is perfect,closed to the metro, police station and supermarket. I only suggest ( but this not depend on Miglen) to other guests: don't come back in the apartment too late in the night because of some "strange" people.
My flight was cancelled, so unfortunately I didn't visit Athens (and the appratment of Miglen) at all....
Thank you for having us in the wonderful apartment.
we had a great time at Miglen's house, all perfect and confortable, we enjoyed the staying and our journey, surely we will come back in the beautiful Athens! thank you so much, see you!

Hello everyone,
I retired recently and have decided that I would like to try keeping bees.
It appears that I am late in getting started this year as many suppliers have sold out of their packages, but that is fine. I am in the process of building hives and gathering equipment and information. If I am unable to get bees this year, I will be ready next year.
Actually, this will be my second entry into beekeeping. Years ago, my uncle gave my brother and myself a couple of hives. I do not remember all that went on with them, but we were totally unprepared, and probably starved them over the first winter. At any rate, those bees and the hives are long gone. I plan on doing a better job this time. Wish me luck!


text:
My 30 hives are located in a desert climate
and now it's getting hot till the peak in the end of August.
In the last 3 years i shadowed the hives and take care
for sufficient amount of fresh water and in spite of that,
they seems to suffer from the high Tempratures.
After i will take off the second honey supers, i thought to replace them with
empty shallow super for extra space so the bees won't be too crowded
and suffer less from the high temperatures.
Can it be practically idea?

"We didn't want there to be a lot of distraction so we kept things very simple in terms of colors and just cloaked the entire tent in white," says Heather. "The color was provided by the moss and succulents and then the natural beauty of the estate and the mansion grounds."
