Just before 8 a.m. (Hawaii time), the nation observed a moment of silence to commemorate the exact moment 70 years ago that Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii. The December 7, 1941, attack killed 2,400 Americans and brought the U.S. into World War II.
President Barack Obama hailed veterans of the bombing in a statement and proclaimed Wednesday as "National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day."
"As a nation, we look to December 7, 1941, to draw strength from the example set by these patriots and to honor all who have sacrificed for our freedoms," he said.
Honoring the Fallen
Nearly 3,000 people attended a ceremony at a site overlooking the USS Arizona, a battleship that sank during the attack. More than 1,100 servicemen aboard the ship were killed. The ceremony included a rifle salute by members of the armed services and wreath presentations.
Altogether, the U.S. lost 12 ships that day. The Arizona and another battleship, the USS Utah, are the only ones still sitting in the harbor.
USS Utah survivor Gilbert Meyer said he comes back each year to honor his shipmates who are entombed in the battleship. The USS Utah rests not far from where it sank off Ford Island, in the middle of Pearl Harbor.
Meyer, 88, remembers his ship rolling over after being hit by a torpedo. He saw Japanese planes dropping bombs. When the planes began firing machine guns, he knew it was time to move.
"That really got my attention so I got in the water and swam ashore," he said.

A team of researchers led by the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a protein complex that could be targeted with drugs to stunt tumor growth.
As tumors expand, their centers are deprived of oxygen, and so tumors must flip specific genetic switches to survive in these hypoxic environments.
A series of studies published today in the journal Cell reports the discovery of a protein complex that tumor cells require to flip "on" genes that allow them to thrive in low-oxygen conditions. Importantly, a critical part of the protein complex, an enzyme known as CDK8, can be targeted by an existing class of drugs.
The research team — including Joaquín Espinosa, an associate professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology, and Matthew Galbraith, a postdoctoral researcher in Espinosa's lab — stumbled upon the discovery while studying how gene expression is controlled by a protein complex called Mediator.
"This is a clear example of starting with a basic biology question that now turns out to be relevant to patients," said Espinosa, who also is an investigator at the University of Colorado Cancer Center.
The researchers, with funding from the National Science Foundation, were trying to better understand the function of CDK8 in the Mediator protein complex.
"This is an ancient protein complex," Espinosa said. "But the mechanism of action of Mediator is not well understood."
For the study, Espinosa, Galbraith and their colleagues depleted CDK8 in cancer cells and then grew the cells with and without stressors, such as low glucose, DNA damage and low oxygen. Without CDK8, cells in hypoxic conditions failed to activate the gene expression program that could help them survive without oxygen.
"Lo and behold, it turns out CDK8 has a major role in controlling gene expression in conditions of low oxygen. A few hundred genes go up to allow the cell to adapt to these conditions, but not without CDK8," Espinosa said.
In itself, this is a fairly major finding in basic biology, Espinosa said. But it was Espinosa's connection with the cancer research community that allowed the next step.
"See, we've known that the transcription factor HIF1A is a master regulator of a cell's response to hypoxia. It turns survival genes up when oxygen goes down," Espinosa said. "HIF1A has been known as a major factor in tumor development, but as a transcription factor it's notoriously hard to drug."
The group wondered if CDK8 and HIF1A might work together to regulate the genetic response to hypoxic conditions. It turns out that HIF1A necessarily works through CDK8 to help tumors respond to the hypoxic environment. And while researchers have struggled to create drugs that can inhibit HIF1A from doing its job, the class of drugs known as kinase inhibitors is designed to specifically target enzymes similar in function to CDK8.
"From the start, it was a very mechanistic question: How do cells use the Mediator complexes to turn genes on and off? Now we find this same system is important for tumor hypoxia," Espinosa said. "We entered from the CDK8 angle, landed right on the known oncogene HIF1A, and are back to CDK8, now with very real clinical potential."

Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend
You know I've only heard that song once - ONCE - in my whole life and I still get it stuck in my head almost every week. WTH, mate?
This week's Friday's Fancies theme is Holiday Party but seeing as how I just did a holiday party outfit last week, I decided to do a Cozy Weekend At Home outfit instead. This little number is perfect for hanging out around the house. And if you need to run out for a quick errand or wanna catch a movie, just slip on the festive flats and cozy snood before you head out the door! Snood. What a weird word. Snood. If Snookie had a brother, his name would be Snood.
1. Gradated Stripes Pullover - Alright, yes, I admit it. I basically use Friday's Fancies to create my dream Anthro outfits. But this one - I might actually buy! The sweater is $88 and I have an Anthro gift card burning a whole in my wallet...
2. Stretch Denims - Dark gray, skinny jeans with stretch? Yes, please!
3. Red Leather Wrap Bracelet - How cute is this little etsy find??
4. Eddie Ballet Flat - I just can't bring myself to spend this much on flats but I love that color on a dreary winter day.
5. Cashmere Snood - Haha. Snood.

Nisswa receives requests for tap room
The Nisswa City Council on Wednesday, Feb. 20, set a public hearing for 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, to amend the liquor ordinance to allow for a brewer/tap room license.
The city has been approached a couple of times in the past couple of months about locating a microbrewery/tap room in the city. The city has the authorization to issue a license for this, but would have to amend the liquor ordinance and land use ordinance to authorize the use.
Such a business would not compete with the city's municipal liquor establishment, council members have said.
In other business Feb. 20, the council:
• Appointed Jessica Waytashek to the Park Commission.
• Agreed to contract with Widseth Smith Nolting engineering firm for an estimated $18,500 for preliminary plans to improve Smiley Road from County Road 13 at Sportland Corners north to just past the Northland Center. Estimated project cost is $135,000.
• Approved a joint powers agreement with the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
• Granted the Brainerd Jaycees a 3.2 beer permit for the Run for the Lakes Marathon on April 27.
• Rezoned Alluring Pines, Inc., from commercial waterfront to shoreland residential. The former resort property will be converted to a shoreland residential planned unit development.
• Approved a resolution for issuance and sale of general obligation bond for refunding the 2004 lease revenue bonds for the city hall/public works building. The city will save $321,262 over the remaining life of the bond, which is 2025.
• Approved with no waiting period Wayne and Sylvia Swanson's cancer fundraising raffle request for June 18 at Grand View Lodge.
• Approved a request from Crow Wing County to reclassify tax forfeit parcels to non-conservation.
• Agreed to send a letter of support for Trail 77 in the city of Lake Shore. The proposed multi-recreational trail would run along County Road 77 through the city.
• Set the board of review to hear concerns about property market value for 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 23.
• Approved the Brainerd Lakes Area Economic Development Corp. agreement for 2013 for $1,750.
• Selected mayor Brian Lehman and council member Tina Foster to attend the National Joint Powers Alliance annual assembly April 10.
Council member Gary Johnson was absent from the Feb. 20 meeting.
• Learned the Minnesota Department of Transportation has taken back under advisement its proposed closure of the Clark Lake Road/Highway 371 median crossover.

Nicki Minaj Is Pretty Mad At ESPN Magazine For Photoshopping Her Face On Cover (PHOTO)
Leave it to Nicki Minaj to be the Photoshop Police.
The "Pound the Alarm" singer took to her Instagram page to lambast ESPN magazine for digitally retouching her face on their Feb. 2014 Music issue.
On Thursday, the former "American Idol" judge wrote on Instagram, "When retouching goes wrong" next to a photo of the cover in question, which shows the controversial star sitting on a speaker with her hands on basketball star's Kobe Bryant's shoulders.
After posting the offending cover, the 31-year-old went on to add unretouched photos from the shoot, one which had the caption "I love my personal unretouched photos where my forehead doesn't mysteriously grow in length." Burn!
Although Minaj didn't post an unretouched photo of the cover shot, it does kind of look as if the photo editors lengthened her forehead, but to what extent, we can't tell.
What we do know is that Nicki looks flawless without any airbrushing!
This is one of the few times where celebrities have actually called out a magazine for altering their photos. In recent months, several celebs including Lena Dunham and Mindy Kaling have gone on the defensive after critics said their respective magazine covers Photoshopped their photos too much.
What do you think? Did ESPN magazine Photoshop Nicki Minaj?
Here are the unretouched photos:
Overzealous airbrushing much?
Kristen Stewart auf dem Cover von "Glamour": Bemerken Sie, was hier falsch ist? Richtig, Stewarts Arm verschwindet in ihrem Bein. Eine ungewöhnliche Entscheidung der Photoshop-Experten.Glamour's November issue, she too fell victim to the photoshop madness. The potentially cute photo is ruined by a strange choice to cut off half of her arm (which somehow disappears into her leg).
In the ad, Victoria's Secret model Lais Ribeiro stands with her torso bent at an angle, but from our viewpoint, it looks like VS spliced two halves of two separate photos together to create one model, bisected by her arms. There's no way any human can have that whittled a ribcage, right? Right?
We know for sure that Drew has some sexy curves. Where are her hips?
When we first saw these photos of Namibian model Behati Prinsloo for Juicy Couture's fall 2012 jean line, we expected to see signs of Photoshop in Prinsloo's arms, torso or even hips. We were happy to see that the model actually looked pretty natural, until we realized that her left foot in this photo is wonky and she's missing several toes.
Not only did Ann Taylor take a few inches off of a model's waist, the brand's website accidentally revealed the "before" shot, thanks to a tech glitch. The "before" is on the left, and Ann's "improved" version is on the right.
Oopsies, this model lost her funny bone when the people who were editing Alloy's catalogue released this photo.
Gwyneth Paltrow is a women of many talents, but her pose in this Terry Richardson shot seems impossible.
Grazia airbrushed one of Megan Fox's tattoos off her April cover. The tattoo that vanished? The Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." (Courtesy photo)
We know Ralph likes to retouch his models, but can't he leave the animals alone? We're guessing that's an entirely new head on the dog wearing a Polo and that he was just dropped into the image on the right.
In this jarring Ann Taylor LOFT photo of Linen Twill Shorts, the model appears to have a thumb emerge directly out of her arm, above the wrist. (LOFT photo)
This just shows how advertisements mess up women's perceived image of what the "perfect" body is. This model had perfectly fine-sized breasts but either Free People or Karma Loop decided to enhance the model's right breast, and then promptly forgot to give the other one the extra lift.
Natalia Vodianova's July 2012 cover for GQ Russia has the model all out of proportion... and her hair seemingly carved out with the "lasso" tool on Photoshop.
In this J. Crew ad, someone went a little crazy with the photoshop and left some very interesting thigh cut-outs.
Maybe this model is super-talented and rides some kind of unicycle contraption. We doubt it. This is a case of horrible photoshop. How could Neiman Marcus have assumed that this model's backside could cover up the entire half of a bike?
Jessica Alba is the latest victim of over-enthused retouching, on the June 2012 cover of Marie Claire. The whole cover seems washed in a bright pink haze, and something seems a little robot-y about it to us. Maybe it's the way they did her hair? (Courtesy photo)
In this printed ad from an Italian haircare line, the female model's legs seem to have gone missing... or perhaps the male model's biceps are so big they conceal them? (PSD photo)
Model Angela Linvdall posed for the March cover of Vogue Mexico looking every beauty but also, very elongated. Her neck and jawline seemed to have been smoothed and stretched out or she's a modern-day Stretch Armstrong.
It's one thing for model's to have endlessly long legs, but how can a human have more than two knees? Apparently, these models do. In this ad -- if you look closely -- the models' knees are bending but not where the skirt is bending. Optical illusion? Who knows.
Bloomingdales turned a perfectly innocent model into a mutant, giving her the pointiest, most elongated elbow we've ever seen.
The leg bone is not connected to the hip bone. Period. And for more, check out a dozen or so airbrushed Angel fails.
By now, we're used to seeing models' bodies whittled down -- but how about reverse retouching? Like, making someone appear heavier than she is? That's what happened with Kamilla Wladyka who was Photoshopped to look healthier. For the cover of Healthy magazine.
And On And On. This model loves Suave's Mango Mandarin body wash so much that she hasn't realized she's an amputee.
We don't think the lady model's legs make any sense in Dolce & Gabbana's ad for light blue, although, somehow, 47 percent of you thought everything looked just peachy.
We still don't know what this was about but it seems more relevant than ever. Did Wills dye his hair just for the Hello cover shoot? Or was someone playing around with the color and contrast in everyone's favorite retouching program?
Here's an interesting spin: model Irina Shayk claims GQ Spain Photoshopped the underwear right off of her and that she never posed in the buff. She's taking the Spanish glossy to court over the pics.
"New Zealand's Next Top Model" came under fire for having a 16-year-old contestant pose topless, with only mud smeared across her naked breasts and then posted an unedited picture from the shoot online. The solution? A spray of Photoshopped steam covering up the girl's chest.
While Anne Hathaway looked stunning on British GQ's February 2010 issue, something's not quite right with her ultra-smooth armpit...
Another Ann Taylor photoshop fail...this time, they took out their airbrushing anger by amputating this poor model's arm!
On the January issue of ELLE Czech, model Denisa Dvorakova's arms channeled Barbie's freakishly sharp angled limbs. Furthermore, the synthetic looking visage of her face doesn't adds to her plastic-doll appearance.
We're not sure why someone would change Hilary Rhoda's already perfect and sky-high cheekbones to begin with-- but that didn't stop Numero Tokyo from engaging in this photoshop fail. The model's razor-sharp cheekbones were given a little too much tapering...yikes!
Some were shocked at Kate Middleton's frail frame in her Alexander McQueen gown on her wedding day. But a Grazia magazine retoucher decided to take it up a notch by airbrushing her already tiny waist, to look just like a life-size Barbie's instead. It seems that Grazia has tried to trick us into thinking the Duchess has the worlds smallest waist.
It's hard to even tell that this Maybelline ad features the one-and-only Christy Turlington, who is so airbrushed that she's basically unrecognizable. While the supermodel has always been known for her flawless complexion, her skin is so overly retouched that it bares more resemblance to a 3D animation than Christy herself. CORRECTION: A previous version of this caption identified the makeup brand incorrectly.
Louis Vuitton's fall 2010 campaign featuring models Christy Turlington, Karen Elson and Natalia Vodianova is so aesthetically pleasing to look at, that it's hard to notice this photoshop mystery. But if you look closely in the mirror, you'll see a random reflexion in the mirror that doesn't match up with the actual scene going on.
Kate Moss and her eight-year-old-daughter Lila Grace are as pretty as can be in this September 2011 Vogue spread. But unfortunately, Lila Grace and her poor fingers are the victims in this photoshop disaster.
Kim Kardashian has always embraced her curvy figure--but the original and untouched photo that Complex.com accidentally posted of a thinner Kim says otherwise.
This photoshop faux-pass is brought to you by H&M, who decided to give this model a face lift...but literally. We're not quite sure why they choose to make her entire face disappear from a 45 degree view, but whatever the reason, it seriously freaks us out.
Even though it was confirmed by a company rep that this was not Photoshopped, it still looks as if there is no horse body behind that model!
Photoshop was used and abused on the cover of Charlize Theron's Los Angeles Confidential cover. Her hand looks more like a paw (or claw) as it appears that her fingers have all melted together-- creepy!
We're pretty sure that a child was responsible for scribbling up (and coloring in) this photoshop fail. The sketchy image from Walmart appears to be selling a bikini top...but we can't really tell.
This Campari campaign morphed Jessica Alba into a much (much) thinner version of herself. While she looks perfectly fit in both images, if the originals hadn't been leaked, we probably would have actually believed the lies...But unfortunately this wasn't the case.
While this isn't exactly the worst (or most obvious) photoshop flub we've seen, the original footage from this Ann Taylor campaign tells a different story. The screenshot, taken from a "behind-the-scenes" video, is a much more accurate portrayal of Naomi Watts- who looks way too overly airbrushed in the final version.
Someone messed up big time with this unrealistically photoshopped waist on Nordstrom's website. We're so distracted by her startlingly small torso that we can't even focus on the cute orange polo shirt. Note: This caption was edited for clarity's sake.
Russian model Anna Selezneva has been stretched to her limit in this photo for German label Set. While her left leg is lifted onto a couch, her right leg has been attacked by some vicious monster that bit right into her thigh!
Is it just us, or does Paris Hilton looks faker than ever on this Vanity Fair cover? Her strangely smooth face actually sort of creeps us out to be honest.
Does anyone else feel bad for this victim of retouching madness? This Talbot's photoshop abuser settled on giving this poor model only one leg.
For being 44 years old, Julia Roberts looks pretty near amazing. And while the actress still looks pretty in this Lancome ad, we just wish they didn't make her skin look so freakishly smooth. From the looks of it, the retouchers airbrushed the life out of Julia Roberts' face, and gave her a plastic visage instead.
Victoria's Secret, who is a notorious fan of photoshop abuse, was up to their old tricks again. This time, Model Candice Swanepoel's shoulder joint appears to be disconnected from the rest of her body.
Um, should someone tell Marissa Miller that she's missing a limb? Evidently, Victoria's Secret took out a fit of retouching rage on the model's arm.
Just wondering, but who is that girl in those recent Rimmel ads? The faulty campaign featured a photoshopped image of someone who resembled a Zooey Deschanel lookalike with plastic surgery gone wrong.
Last time we checked, Khloe Kardashian is noticeably taller than both Kim and Kourtney...Khloe, who at 5'10 normally towers over her pint-sized sisters, apparently shrunk down to "fit" the frame for this Sears campaign shot by Annie Leibovitz. And what's going on with Khloe's right hand?
It's pretty disturbing that these Ralph Lauren photos somehow got the go-ahead to be published in the first place...The fashion label received harsh criticism for these images featuring an emaciated looking model, who actually more so resembles a bobble head on a skeletal frame. Even more alarming is that the photoshop victim, Filippa Hamilton- claims that she was actually fired by Ralph Lauren for being "too fat."
SimpleBe, a UK brand known for catering to plus sizes, has photoshopped this models hand into, what appears to be, a claw.
This Target Australia ad contains one major mistake: there seems to be a hand resting on mom's hair. Yeah, that's an extra limb, that we assume belongs to the dad. (Target ad)

Wisconsin rivalry spills into social media
(Updated Dec. 10, 2012)
By Marissa Evans, Comm '13
Marquette's 2011 win against the University of WisconsinMadison meant Bucky's avatar was blue and gold for a day.
It's a storied rivalry epitomized in a photo of coach Al McGuire standing on a table, hands raised in the air, and a Madison fan's hand raised in an obscene gesture. (We can't post it here, but you get the picture.)
For years, Marquette and the University of WisconsinMadison have brought the heat to the basketball court for their highly anticipated annual matchup.
On December 8, 2012, Marquette secured bragging rights for the state once again, and a celebration that included dancing to the signature Badger song "Jump Around" became the most favorited tweet in Marquette history.
The schools' social media managers leverage the buzz around the annual match-up by creating some friendly competition beginning the week prior to the game.
"One of the great things about both of our accounts is we really believe in this idea of an engaged approach to your fans and followers," says John Lucas, director of new media and internal communications at UWMadison. "We talk to people and try to answer their question and have fun."
"It's a fun rivalry that riles up our followers," says Tim Cigelske, Marquette's director of social media. "And we never pass up an opportunity to beat Bucky."
The social media rivalry kicked off in December 2010 with a follower contest and in 2011 with a social media avatar challenge. The stakes? The losing school had to change its logo to the winner's school colors. Marquette fans delighted last year when Wisconsin had to change its logo to blue and gold.
Then, in March, klout.com, a site that measures social media influence, pitted universities nationwide against each other in social media showdowns. Just like that, the Marquette-UWMadison rivalry was amped up. Again.
Marquette had to beat the University of Michigan, Harvard and the University of Texas in its matchups, and UWMadison had to beat Indiana University and Syracuse University.
After several secretly exchanged direct messages on Twitter, the #SconniePact also sometimes called #CheeseAlliance was born. In other words, the University of Wisconsin and Marquette encouraged their social media followers to vote for each other in earlier rounds to ensure an all-Wisconsin showdown in the finals.
In the final round, the #SconniePact was dissolved and the Badgers' larger student and alumni base helped defeat the Golden Eagles.
Despite the basketball beef, the social media rivalry is lighthearted.
"(Marquette) is obviously in Milwaukee and is a little bit smaller, and (UWMadison) is a little bit bigger and research-focused and football-focused," Lucas says. "It seemed like a cool way to tie them back together a little bit and not only have some fun and get people going back and forth but also put focus on the game and the schools."

Movie Review: G.I. Joe: Retaliation

Is your inner adolescent yowling for an outing this weekend? G.I. Joe: Retaliation – a two-hour 3D commercial for toys and merchandise -- is here to help.

Director: Jon M. Chu
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Studio: Paramount
Stars: Dwayne Johnson, D.J. Cotrona, Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis
Is your inner adolescent yowling for an outing this weekend? G.I. Joe: Retaliation—a two-hour 3-D commercial for toys and merchandise—is here to help. Unburdened by plot, logic, team spirit or characters, the all-action flick is so idiotic, so unsure of whether it wants to be a dumb-ass thriller or a politically savvy one, it makes that all-out stinker, 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, look watchable.
For the record, the movie kicks off with a brief intro documenting Channing Tatum as Duke getting all chummy and playing video games with "Roadblock," played, with good-natured magnetism to spare, by Dwayne Johnson. Soon, though, the body count begins with the duo snuffing North Korean baddies and invading Pakistan for its nuke arsenal. The U.S. Prez (played by Jonathan Pryce) apparently orders a brutal sneak attack on all the extant Joes. Down goes Old Glory, up goes a flag sporting a red snake. See, it turns out that the prez is not really the prez but that many-faced master of disaster and terrorist hell-bent on world domination, Zartan of Cobra. Is that why he utters incredibly stupid and irresponsible things like "They call it a waterboard. But they never get bored"? If only to stop jokes like this, the team, including The Rock, Bruce Willis (on cruise control, not that we blame him), Adrianne Palicki, D. J. Cotrona, Ray Park and Elodie Yung, must reassemble to put things right, a task that involves throat-cutting, flying bodies, explosions, ugly racism, an adoration for weapons and a stunning disregard for any country that isn't the ole U.S. of A. Death, maiming, the destruction of London—hell, they're just setups for stupid one-liners ("Drive it like you stole it"), jingoism and toy sales.
There is one long action sequence set atop a Himalayan mountain monastery involving ninjas and ropes that is a kick; sheer, breathtaking adrenaline. More stuff like that, please. Most of the other action set pieces are so riddled with quick cuts that they're completely baffling. Who's killing whom? How many combatants are there? Wait, what are they fighting about, again? In the end, this thing is so incoherent, it's not worth bothering figuring any of it out. This is knucklehead, Transformers-level stuff. Your move.

What is it with these Poms? Someone taps a Scot on the head with his boot and there is a collective scream of outrage rising to a pitch that only dogs can hear.
Adam Thomson's mistake in scraping his boot on the headgear of Scottish loose forward Alasdair Strokosch was just that - a mistake.
Anyone in rugby who lets his boot come into contact with a head - even if there was no injury and no malicious intent - can expect to have the book thrown at them. An encyclopaedia. Or War & Peace. Or Marcel Proust's aptly named In Search Of Lost Time - all 4211 pages of it.
So, yes, it was a bit of a surprise that Thomson ended up with only one week off, even if any sensible analysis of the incident showed the following:No one was hurt.There was no malicious intent.It was a dumb error - stupid, even - which did not achieve anything like the objective of freeing the ball.Thomson has never been a dirty player.The victim came out on the side of the offender, making the entirely valid point that no harm was done.
But, dear oh dear, the squawking coming out of England ... The English media and some fans have gone crackers over this. I won't bother repeating it all and, to be fair, it doesn't approach the hideous bleating that went on over Brian O'Driscoll's accident during the Lions tour here in 2005. We don't even have to examine the pompous emissions of the Times' Stephen Jones as his boss' application of a paywall on the website means hardly anyone reads the Kiwi-baiter any more.
The Daily Telegraph's rugby writer Mick Cleary - an eminently fair and reasonable man - was moved to say on radio that the penalty for Thomson should have been five weeks. His reason: because it was damaging to the image of the game.
Hilarious stuff. It evokes an image of toddlers all over the UK screaming and running behind their mums' skirts as the Yorkshire Ripp ... sorry, Thomson ... tapped Strokosch on the bonce with about as much force as a butterfly's kick. There was far worse on view last June, when Strokosch leaped high onto a joyous gathering of Scots players when they beat Australia. He connected in an accidental headbutt with team-mate Joe Ansbro in celebrations - and the blood flowed.
You could just imagine a nation of toddlers running to their mums saying: 'Mum, if you win at rugby, do you have to bang your heads together 'til you bleed?'
No, the "poor image" scenario doesn't hold water. What we are really seeing is something far more human nature in nature. The Brits have been consistently losing to the All Blacks for years. Decades. Bleeding ice ages. So many cast about for any reason, any justification. What we are hearing in response to Thomson getting the equivalent of being thrashed with a judicial shoelace is good old sour grapes.
The All Blacks have been faster, stronger, more committed, more skilled and more physical - with that physical approach generally applied in pursuit of the ball. Of course we have had our villains, same as anyone. Like England's Danny Grewcock. Only thing he grew, was tired of waiting on the sidelines after yet another ban.
New Zealand is not immune to this same syndrome, as some sour grapes outcries at past World Cups have shown. But basically, we Kiwis tend to regard rugby as still being "a man's game" - which doesn't excuse foul play but tends to put some rough stuff in context. After the 1999 World Cup, when French players got up to dirty tricks - like grabbing genitals - during their shock win over the All Blacks, a nation of Kiwis shrugged and said: 'Why didn't you do something about it?'
Rugby remains a man's game even after they outlawed rucking - and the Kiwi conspiracy theorists would have it that even that came from the evil north to dilute yet another All Black advantage.
Thomson and anyone using foul play will have to take their medicine. But, if the northern hemisphere doesn't agree with the penalties handed down, spare us the moralistic sermonising.
Tell us what you really think: you want to punish the All Blacks because they keep ripping through you like Vikings at a nunnery.

Have you ever wondered how historic places survive over time? One of the ways is through the World Monuments Fund (WMF). The WMF is a group of experts who work to save the most treasured places on Earth. Every two years, the WMF announces a list of special places that need restoring, or improvement. The 2012 list, released this month, names 67 important sites around the world.
WMF president Bonnie Burnham told TFK that the goal of her group is to save world monuments built by our ancestors through hands-on work today. "The sites on our list are very near and dear to people in their local communities," said Burnham. "We try to help by keeping sites in good condition so people can enjoy them in the future."
Understanding the List
This year's sites spread across 41 countries and six continents. Like endangered species, some places are considered endangered because, without help, they might not survive on their own. The 2012 list includes different types of places, such as houses, churches, palaces, bridges, cemeteries, villages, islands, and even a bus station.
Sites are placed on the list for many different reasons. Some sites are added because they have been ignored over the years and fallen into disrepair. Others are added because natural disasters have harmed the site.
This year, three Japanese sites made the list after Japan's earthquake and tsunami in March of 2011. The disaster hurt many of the country's historical landmarks.
Sites to See
Six sites in the United States are on the list this year. One of the spots is a historical district in Charleston, South Carolina, that is popular with people on vacation. Although visitors can be good for a town, they can sometimes cause harm to historical landmarks.
Another U.S. site is located on Fifth Avenue in New York City. It is a four-story bank built in 1954. Because the building is made of glass, you can see the giant vault right inside the bank. Many artists and architects think the building is a special part of New York City's history.
Improving sites can be very expensive. This year, American Express donated $5 million to help the project over the next five years.
Burnham said it's important to save as much history as possible in a world that's changing so rapidly.
"We're shaping the world of tomorrow," she said. "But we're doing it in the present."

Offensive security scenarios?
I may have been dreaming as I have been unable to find any proof after the fact, but in case I'm not crazy (not likely according to the missus ) I have a question to ask.
I once read a sample chapter for an IT security book online, possibly EH-net but I can't find it. The book detailed 'offensive' security practices (not the training company) were admins could use configurations and tricks to thwart intrusion attempts, such as bogus DNS entries such as 'rm -r /' to kill an attackers machine parsing zone files. The book dealt with fictional scenarios going through each from both an attacking and defensive viewpoint.
Whilst I have no idea how technically good, correct or advisable the book is as I only managed to read a few pages, it was an interesting read and I would quite like to get my hands an a hardcopy.
I know this isn't technically a book 'review' but I couldn't think of a better forum for my plea for help. If anyone can help me out with the title I'm looking for I'd greatly appreciate it.

Although heat exchangers usually are selected for unique sets of conditions, sometimes it is of interest to know how they will respond to changes in inlet temperature. For example, it might be necessary to predict the change in cold-side outlet temperature resulting from a change in inlet boiler-water temperature or steam pressure. Because when one terminal temperature is changed, the others become unknowns, it is impractical to predict performance by means of the standard heat-transfer-rate ...

Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh9IyF9YV18
Near the end it says eli's skillset is ideal for a west coast offense.
Maybe so so lets see what will happen in a quicker type offense. Yet even though he has the skills to run for yardage, he hardly does it and seems to not know that he may have to run more when the talent around him has decreased like last year.
I saw some of the quicker playcalling during the game in Detroit, and actually it looked like Eli was doing well with it. We'll see how it goes.
The last comment, "Given time by his offensive line, this QB will pick NFL defenses apart" ...says it all!
We all hope that will be the case.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Flourish? Probably not.
West Coast relies a lot on option routes, something this current personnel is not very good at.
We should see an improved offense with the uptempo style and mid range passing, but I doubt "flourish".
I'd settle for "don't suck".
Throws a very catchable ball? Not if its a screen....
Everyone has the right to be stupid. Some just abuse the privilege.
I don't think he would flourish at all
WC offense calls for touch pass skills
Eli .... in his 10 year career has never shown the ability to throw a nice touch pass
GB doesn't exactly run a west coast offense.
Rodgers really tries to avoid throwing to the middle of the field.
He throws mostly outside. Back shoulder throws in particular.
Then a lot of quick dump off type throws to his backs and Cobb
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!

The best looking girl out there, normally Mexican. She really knows how to talk to her man and is a freak in bed.
I wish my girlfriend was like Gisela
by Great White Kid August 07, 2009
(n.) A girl who you will never truly believe is real. Too hot to be real, too cute to be real, too smart to be real, too real to be real. She'll always surprise you, and you'll always appreciate her in your life. Be careful to notice when in her presence, because you're lucky to cross paths even once before you die.
"I love you Gisela"
by aburntoutgenius February 05, 2010
The name derives from the Old German word "gisil" (offspring, or noble heritage) or "gisel" (ray, the radiant).
by Vavaboom March 24, 2009
a girl that is incredibly beautiful, has the softest skin in the world, sweetest voice, and will make you smile on your saddest days. Then will will slowly drift away from you, claim you to be a horrible person, and tear your heart out by loving, and using the word love to describe her feelings for someone else. OH, and influences her family to believe that what she is doing is right, and as she is doing everything behind your back, they continue to treat you as if you were family to only later hate you and despise you despite the unethical and evil shit she's doing, and all the while these events continue to go on she also happens to be an amazingly good liar. yeah... that's a gisela... date at your own risk
So how's your girlfriend?
not good man...
she turned out to be a gisela

@ Prettykeys:
I could easily show you screen shots comparing Vancouver Yuna with Dortmund 2012 Yuna and Skate Canada 2012 Kanako and show you exactly what I meant by Dortmund 2012 Yuna looking 'slightly Kanakoesque', but I wouldn't know where to put them to show you, so I'll have to explain using words.
Compared to Olympics, Yuna now really sinks deep into her knees when she takes off (like how Mao used to for her triple axel take-off, and like Kanako's now). In fact, her left knee is even more sunk down than Kanako's.
And another thing that's now similar to Kanako is that while Olympic Yuna used to keep her center of gravity in the middle of her body, now it's her left leg that is holding the weight, just like Kanako does it.
This results in both Dortmund 2012 Yuna and Kanako dropping their left shoulder forward as they prepare to toe pick.
And of course Yuna's toe pick isn't exactly a mule kick, and Kanako's got a really awful mule kick, but (while Yuna did always bend her toe pick knee) during the Olympics, her thigh was fairly parallel to the ice (relatively speaking), and now, her toe picking thigh is at more of an angle to the ice and she compensates for the dropped thigh by bending her knee a bit more, which makes it more mule-kick like than it was before.
So that's what I mean when I wrote that Yuna's jumps were now 'slightly Kanakoesque'.
Despite these technical issues, Yuna still managed to tack on a triple-toe (may have been under-rotated?) so that's still amazing that she managed to even attempt it after a year and 8 months away.
I am fairly certain that her she will get back to her old form within a few months.
Now Japanese media are all about Mao bringing back 3A to bring the rivalry on.
Seriously, the media have a lot to do with this overheated rivalry thing.
http://www.gasengi.com/main/board.ph...u&wr_id=199096) where Asada Mai (Mao's elder sister) made comments on Yuna's NRW score. Now, I don't speak Japanese so I don't understand what the girl was saying exactly but judging by the subtitles (which is in Korean) and the following angry Koreans' comments, I can see that she is saying something like "I don't understand the high score when she made mistakes in Jump and fell during the program....Maybe the judges like her?...".
What a stupid thing to say, especially as Mao's sister. I think she, as Mao's sister, should be the last person to make this kind of comments on live TV show since her comments won't help her own sister...eventually. Let me quote a Korean proverb. If you spat while you are lying down it only falls on your face!

Lol who is Mai say anything when Mao won a competition with 4 triples over the sp and lp?
And here's some more:
And good suggestion: someone should translate what she said on that TV show...

http://www.j-cast.com/2013/01/15161311.html) and its google translation (http://translate.google.com/translat...F15161311.html) until someone can translate what the girl said exactly on telly (hopefully unbiased).
(After a video of Yuna on the podium at NRW)
Host: Um well...about Yuna-san...why is it that her scores are so good (all the time)?
Mai: Um...honestly, I don't know...why she gets such high scores, I do not know.
(laughter amongst the guests)
Mai: As a skater, I mean I used to compete before, but I don't know...I'd like to be the one asking why? Why is it?
Host: (That's kind of) mysterious...?
Mai: Maybe the judges are fond of her (skating)...
Host: That's what this (scores) are all about?
(laughter amongst the guests again)
Mai: I don't know...I think it's better not to comment on this matter.
Host: Ah!
I translated everything they said as directly as I could, so some of it may sound strange. As I native Jpnse speaker, I could sense some words being left out, though they were definitely meant to be in their words, so I added them in ( )s. Now, first of all, from the flow of the conversation, the host was obviously trying to make Mai say something negative about Yuna. That you can sense also from the other guests and commentators as they seemed to find something funny about all this (which I did not find amusing at all). Most Jpnse tv shows suck so I'm not defending them in any way. However, I will defend Mai, as the only thing she did here is to reply to a question concerning Yuna's scores, saying 'I don't know why'. And when she said 'maybe the judges like her', Mai was talking about Yuna's skating styles. She did not say anything like 'Yuna is being favored by the judges'. And she was the one who did not want to comment on about Yuna's scores, although it seems that the host wanted her to say more. Mai is a wise and considerate person. She has never said anything bad about other skaters in or out of Jpn, before and after she became a sport commentator who specializes mostly in figure skating (because of her background as a former competing skater...no need to have explained that, I guess!). Anyway, I do feel that this program itself was raising questions on Yuna's scores at NRW from the start. But Mai did not want to say much about Yuna so she was the one who stopped the conversation saying she'd rather not comment further. So, Yuna fans go on bashing this show as much as you want if that'll make your frustration go away, but Mai has done nothing wrong. Even these types of talk shows always have scripts on when and who are supposed to say whatever. The video they edited on Yuna winning NRW spotlighting mostly her mistakes was not a nice approach in introducing the news IMO. Still, not everyone knows that figure skating is not only about jumps. This program was not a show for a cable sport channel, but one which would be seen by many who probably only bother to watch figure skating in Olys. When a show has to deal with such viewers, they're going to ask questions which those viewers will be asking as well. How does a skater get the best score of the season (and they don't know it's unofficial, too), while he/she (in this case Yuna) has made obvious mistakes? That's what the viewers would want to know, so of course they'll call Mai or some other figure skating commentator as a guest and ask them the question. It's simply what tv is all about folks; mere show-biz, that's all! Oh, and do note that Mai does not appear in shows which discusses or casts figure skating news just because she's Mao's sister; Mai has been a professional commentator over the years now, so she was just doing her job. She could've said alot more on Yuna's scores just like the host was trying to make her do so, but she just said a few words, admitted she 'doesn't know' revealing how unprofessional she can be as a commentator, but did you ever imagine why she did that? She did that because she most likely felt that even as a commentator, since she is Mao's sister, she would not be the right person to be saying anything negative about the way the judges scored Yuna. She sacrificed a certain amount of her career as a commentator in order to step out of a discussion which concerns her sister's long time rival. So korean_rose honey, save your precious Korean proverbs for things more serious happening in the world. Don't take everything you hear from someone close to Mao, or someone who just happens to be Jpnse in the wrong way you want to. Plus, if what Mai said made you so angry, you should go listen to what some other figure skating commentators were saying about Yuna's scores in NRW; Chika Suguri (Fumie's baby sister) said that Yuna's scores are too high way out louder than this show did. But did the Korean media give a *** about her words?
This was just a case of a news show trying to attract attention by attempting to make Mai say something bad about the judges who scored Yuna. If there's anyone who did wrong, it was the director of this show and not Mai. What the hell is the big deal about what Mai said!? Those who can't see what was going on in this show even after reading my translation must be either suffering persecution complex or hallucinating. Mai did not spit on anyone, she refused to do so and avoided it from happening by appealing to the viewers that she's too stupid to understand why Yuna's scores are high even though she was a competing skater once. Satisfied?
FYI, I'm no Yuna basher. I'm no fan, but I respected how well she did in NRW after a long break, and am happy that she's decided to return to competing. The sport is more fun to watch with Yuna in it. Now that she's back more of the other top girls will start challenging combos other than 3-2s or 3T-3Ts. I know that alot of my people would prefer not to think the same, but I believe Yuna is going to be one tough skater to beat at Worlds; although I'm not saying it's not possible.

Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2012
The pulse of tough urban life throbbed through Jean Paul Gaultier's collection. That meant revisiting many of the codes of his house—from the trench coat to the corset—and layering them with some inner-city grit, so that his girls looked like the kind of eighties party animals that were swarming to get into the Mudd Club or Area in the then-dangerous reaches of downtown Manhattan.
Gaultier also took street elements and gave them the tongue-in-chic Parisienne flourish of which he is such a master. So a camel Crombie coat would be shrugged over a sheath dress in a print that evoked the graffiti that once enveloped Manhattan's subway cars (also used for an envelope clutch purse) or a red leather biker jacket would be deconstructed and turned into a chic evening stole lined in faux leopard (and worn over a classically cut, pale gray, pin-stripe pantsuit).
Another motorcycle jacket was doubled up so that the roomy outer layer folded back on itself to reveal a shapelier version underneath—a trick that Gaultier repeated for trench coats. He crafted sweatpants in taffeta to turn them into chic evening pants and a sweatshirt into a leather minidress.
There was invention in the silk pieces, worked to look like crumpled paper (like Gaultier's playful invitation to the show), and in a top and leggings of a lace made from scribbles of black ribbon. Black-and-white piebald stilettos, a jacket seemingly chopped down from a gentleman's tailcoat, and skintight black leather leggings also had a Desperately Seeking Susan flavor to them—a mood reinforced by the sound track that included The Velvet Underground's iconic "I'm Waiting for the Man" and the larger-than-life presence of Pedro Almodóvar's movie heroines Rossy de Palma and Victoria Abril vamping it up in the front row.
But the inventive furs—arctic fox worked like a duvet coat and crazy-colored patchworks of fronded and shorthaired pieces—brought the collection right up to the minute, and at its core there were plenty of the classic tailored elements that Gaultier conjures with such easy assurance.

Metro Detroit home sales down, median sale prices up year over year
Median home sale prices in metro Detroit in February increased by 33.8 percent over 2013, although sales were down 13.6 percent for the four-county region.
Data released today by Farmington Hills-based Realcomp II Ltd. shows the median sale price for Wayne, Oakland, Livingston and Macomb counties was $107,000 in February, up from $80,000 in February 2013.
Here's a look at the median sale prices by county:
- Wayne County: Up 18.6 percent to $53,350 from $45,000
- Macomb County: Up 35 percent to $108,000 from $80,000
- Livingston County: Up 10.5 percent to $179,500 from $162,500
- Oakland County: Up 18.1 percent to $165,000 from $139,770
As prices continue to climb, sales in all four counties are down 13.6 percent to 3,074 total sales in February 2014 from 3,559 sales in February 2013.
The total number of homes on the four-county market is also down 13.8 percent to 12,531 in February 2014 from 14,544 the year before.
In the Detroit area, which Realcomp defines as the city of Detroit, Hamtramck, Harper Woods and Highland Park, the median sale price fell 2.9 percent from $10,502 in February 2013 to $10,200 last month, and home sales fell 1.1 percent from 452 in February 2013 to 447 last month.
Looking ahead
This month's figures have remained relatively flat compared to last month, which saw a median home sale price of $110,000 in the four-county region and a total of 3,336 home sales. However, Realcomp CEO Karen Kage said the trend of rising prices and declining sales and inventory shouldn't last.
Kage said the cold winter has kept some homeowners from preparing their houses for market.
"I'm hoping that the rising prices will entice people to put their homes on the market," Kage said. "The demand is there, we just need the inventory."

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our co-commentator and an Arsenal blogger will have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday and our Talking Heads for this game were former Gunner Adrian Clarke and YW from A Cultured Left Foot.
What an amazing match, pure entertainment. From a negative aspect Arsenal had more lapses in concentration than I've seen from them in a long time, and they didn't get tight enough to the Newcastle midfield. That's why three goals were conceded. However, let's focus on the positives – which were absolutely fantastic.
Going forward we were an irresistible force at times. I thought Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski were excellent, as was Olivier Giroud when he came on, but the star of the show was hat-trick hero Theo Walcott, who was outstanding. Theo's hat-trick is one of the best I've seen, and all three goals showcased what great improvements he's made to his game this season. To score seven goals for a second time this season, and bag six in two other matches too, goes to show that the Gunners have a lot of firepower.
Yes, Newcastle tired late on, but let's not get hung up on that because it was still a fabulous attacking display.
It seems a while since Arsenal played at home, and I hope the side starts where they left off against West Brom a few weeks back when they put in a really committed, high-octane performance.
Alan Pardew's men are under pressure and are lacking some confidence, so if the Gunners begin fast and play with a high tempo they could blow Newcastle away. The big danger man is Demba Ba of course, and he's a player I'd love to see in the red and white of Arsenal one day. He's a real handful on the deck and in the air, and will need watching very carefully. Hopefully the side can work hard to stop the Magpies getting the Senegalese striker into the game.
Arsenal may have been hit and miss at home this season, but if they play to their potential I can only see one result, and that's a home win, which would be a lovely way to end the year.
A great win to finish off the year. There didn't seem to be any inkling that the final score would be anything like that with what was a pretty ordinary first half. The second 45 minutes was like playground football, as if someone had told the players that the next goal wins; defending became an optional extra. That shouldn't detract from the goals that Arsenal scored, each had a technical merit and some, such as Giroud's header, were things of footballing beauty. What was impressive was the measured attacking play, even at full speed; passes were accurate and thought through as Arsenal got into the final third of the pitch. The midfield was good in that respect, even by their standards.
Defensively, it might be a case of the less said the better, Sagna and Gibbs not covering themselves in glory for some of the Newcastle goals. It feels a bit churlish to criticise after a high-scoring win but, for all the second-half positives, there are issues to work on. Presumably the manager will be pleased that the players never gave up on the game each time Newcastle scored while questioning how we let the lead go three times - especially since you wouldn't say that any of their goals were from mesmerising passages of play.
Focus was drawn to Theo Walcott's situation by the hat-trick and it's a situation that the club needs to resolve quickly. For the moment, that circus rolls on to St Mary's and let's hope he can make clowns of the Southampton defence too.
The win at Wigan was excellent. Arsenal needed to win 'ugly' and they proved that they had the application to do so. The results are more important than performances at the moment, a long unbeaten run will bring the confidence back to the squad enabling a return to the fluid passing of which they are capable. The postponement of the West Ham match might prove beneficial, hopefully the players will be chomping at the bit to get at Newcastle. It would be nice if victory was achieved with a scintillating performance but points are all that matter right now.
Arsenal need to be wary that Demba Ba doesn't make this an opportunity to audition for Arsène before the transfer window opens. Newcastle's away form has been abysmal this season with only four points taken out of 27. The defeat at Old Trafford will have been as encouraging as debilitating; scoring three there will have given them hope that they can take advantage of any slackness from Arsenal. But Newcastle's own defending will be a concern while conceding in the last minute to settle the match must be destructive to confidence.
Overall, this is a match that Arsenal ought to win if they have realistic hopes of Champions League football next season. And I am confident that they will.

Pierce Hangin' ToughSaturday, September 27th, 2008
No better way to proudly introduce one of our new contributors/bloggers at
WEEI.com than to show what she brings to the table.
Joey, Donnie, Jordan, Danny and Jonathan… That's right Jessica Camerato not only knows her world champion Boston Celtics and the NBA but also NKOTB.
Our Jess was loge and center for the New Kids on the Block return to Boston, which happened to take place in the same building as the Boston Celtics call home. No word on whether they made a return visit to the Celtics locker room, where Joey McIntyre and Donnie Wahlberg were helping KG, Paul Pierce and Jesus Shuttlesworth celebrate the championship on June 18.
And here's her maiden report/blog/entry:
On Friday night, Boston Celtics captain Paul Pierce made a surprise guest appearance with the Larry O'Brien trophy at the New Kids on the Block concert at the TD BankNorth Garden. Diehard Celtics fan/NKOTB front man Donnie Wahlberg gushed over the team's 17th title before Pierce emerged during their encore performance of "Hangin' Tough." The group donned Celtics jerseys as Pierce sauntered around the stage lifting the trophy and later jumped in a huddle similar to the Celtics pregame ritual. And word has it that Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has been asked to join the group with the World Series trophy at Sunday's concert in Boston.
See Jess knows how to bring it. Welcome, Jess and we look forward to more on Paul, KG, Ray and the rest of the gang starting on Monday as the Celtics prepare to open training camp in Newport, RI.

Review excerpt: Led Zeppelin's sheer power, ability and show of integrity delight 20,000 fans in Stadium concert
For their last few tours, spaced at two-year intervals, their concerts have become events, a phenomenon which no doubt strikes some as incomprehensible. But I'd bet the 20,000 or so people who turned up at the Chicago Stadium Wednesday night for the first of four shows the band is doing there would find their popularity as credible as the group is incredible in its steamroller approach to rock and blues.
This is a band, for instance, that plays for three hours straight, with few dull moments once it gets rolling. Wednesday, it took a couple of songs; the band tends to build to a cumulative effect rather than launching all of its firepower at once.
Part way into the show lead singer Robert Plant, ace guitarist Jimmy Page, keyboard and bass player John Paul Jones and drummer John Bonham sat in a peaceful row across the front of the stage, doing a segment of quieter ballads in a folky, medieval mood. It was a striking change of pace from what had gone before and would come after, which was the sort of power-rock, extremely loud with a blues base, that Zeppelin handles so well.
It was, in short, the usual Led Zeppelin show – a lot of music handled well, and very little bull. Plant in fact was the only member of the group who spoke at all, and then only briefly, though the group's ambience is far from aloof. But it's clear that they're there for one main purpose: to create fireworks. And speaking of that, Plant would just as soon the audience left that sort of thing to Led Zeppelin. (ChicagoTribune, April '77)

I WAS THERE..... IT WAS AWESOME.....my late gramma Evelyn god bless her, got the tickets. I told her I was going sleep outside at the jefferson square mall in Joliet Illinois to get tickets and I would have to skip school that morning. I was 17, a junior in high school and she would not allow that, as she was my legal guardian. Here is the good part, she goes to the mall and sees the ticket line of rock-n-rollers that wraps half way around the mall. The ticketron entrance was on the back side of the mall, that was the front off the line, seeing this gram went around to the front main entrance to the mall and got there just as they opened the doors. She then cut through the mall to the ticketron counter just as they opened the back doors to the to the mall, All the tired, sleepy ZEP fans could not believe that a white haired 62 year old gramma was getting tickets so they let her get in FRONT of the line and she got four tickets, 20th row main floor. Thats the kind of gramma I was blessed with, Thats the story of how I got to see the greatest band of all-time at the Chicago Stadium on April 6th 1977, one week after my 17th birthday, thanks for the birthday present gram.

Also, it looks like, girls do not like my new design for the TBs with sides...
Серёжа, Sergey
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Sergey, have you read what Michael Bush has to say about splits? If I remember correctly, he has various strategies for making splits and keeping them in the same yard.
I took some pictures today of the comb that my new package has made since I installed them a week ago. I thought this was a pretty image:
These are Wolf Creek small cell bees. So far so good.
Серёжа, Sergey
Beautiful bees and comb! Looks like they are working very hard! One week? I could not believe!
As for split, yes, I read Michael Bush, but I need to read again. Last time I did everything right (in my opinion ), only bees did not cooperate - I guess, most of them returned to original hive and some were killed... because mother-colony attacked the split (no robbing)... I guess, it was not equal split, and one part was much weaker than another. The good thing is that it worked as a good remedy against swarming. I did not see any swarm preparation at all. Bees are so fascinating! Many thanks for beautiful foundationless pictures!
Серёжа, Sergey
First find the queen. But if you can't, put a queen excluder between the two boxes that have brood. 5 days later have a look, the box that has eggs is where the queen is, make your split using the other box.
Just make the split using one box, with a few combs of brood in the middle, and other combs each side. Bees that are older than 2 weeks have probably started flying and learned the hive location, and will return to the old hive. The only bees that will stay are younger than 2 weeks. If you get bees from the central brood nest in a normal hive, around 1/2 of them will be younger than 2 weeks. So what you have to do is shake twice as many bees into your split as what you want to end up with, taking the bees from the central brood nest. Around 1/2 will go home. That is why you don't have too much brood in the new split just incase you don't end up with enough bees to cover it.
The field bees that go home to the original hive, can also tell the bees in their hive that there is another hive nearby to rob. So you have to make the entrance to your split very small. VERY small. The young bees that stay behind are not up to guard bee age yet and the split is easy for other bees to rob, so a small entrance is extremely important. Do not feed the split as that will encourage robbing. They should have some comb honey, that's it. One week later the bees will be up to guard duty age and you can make the entrance bigger if they need that, and in another week you can feed, if they need it.
If the split ends up smaller than you want, no worries. After a couple of weeks you can start adding combs of hatching brood to it, from the other hive, until it is up to the strength you want.
What's happening about the queen? You will introduce one? Or you want them to make one?
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Here's a link to Michael Bush's info on splits.
The local guy I got my first nuc from was trying to feed up a couple of monster hives to take to the river bottom for the tupelo flow. The day my wife and I went up to pick up the nuc, he was kind enough to take us around his yard and open a few of his hives for us-- he knew we had no experience. At any rate, his monster hives were full of swarm cells, so he said he'd have to go through them at length and tear them down. I'd read that it was pretty hard, if not impossible to divert a hive once it had decided to swarm, but I tried to interest him in the concept of a cut-down split, as Michael Bush describes. Well, he had 40 years of experience, and I had none, so you know how that went. I talked to him a few days later, and half his bees had departed to the trees.
But his nuc is going gangbusters for us, drawing beautiful straight comb, and bringing in lots of nectar and pollen.
Oldtimer - it is so nice of you to give me such detailed description. I definitely want girls to rise a new queen, because entire point is to keep local genetics -girls are treatment-free for 4 years already (2 with me) . You made it very clear what was wrong with my first attempt to split - I did not shake enough young bees and most bees migrated back into mother-hive. I am not sure how I could use queen excluder - hopefully it could sit on top of my "bars" in the Lang boxes. Many thanks for such great support and education (always appreciated).

Based on your beautiful pictures - you should be very proud of your bees and yourself -you did great job!
Серёжа, Sergey
Sergey, go to your neighbor on the other side of the neighbor who raised a stink and ask him if you can keep a hive in his or her yard, maybe even pay them a little rent money. I'm sure your area can support a lot of bees based on your results so far. And it will teach your busy body neighbor to mind their own business!
I hear the gas meter guys love bees!
do not leave out the nighbors behind you or the nice folks across the street. chances are pretty good the rat next door is not generaly a neighborhood favorite.
I have 6 immediate neighbors (weird property split by my wife's grandma). 2 have hives (plus us); one - empty lot (great bee potential); one never complained; another is curious and my bees love his Jacuzzi (plenty of water at my place), but he has horrible barking dogs, so I have something to complain if necessary also; last one - extremely noisy old couple, who complains about everything... Another day they discovered my hidden under cherry tree nuc. They immediately complained that they could not do weeds because my bees interfere. Actually, I have my ways with them - I show them fruits on the cherry-tree and explained that bees pollinate the tree. They immediately become exited. Than I very politely and carefully deliver to them the news, that they actually surrounded by beekeepers - 3 families have now bees! They were perplexed... old woman was upset - how she could complain about bees to me if she do not know if it is my bee? I delicately suggested that she could choose somebody else for complains... her response was hilarious: "How you do not understand that those neighbors are horrible and very rude - she could not complain to them, I am only a decent (?) person, who politely listen her complains." They got their honey but I think, I need to find a better place for my unofficial nuc (doing great!). Lady is old and really not well - if my bee stings her, they will accuse me in murder...
As for expansion - I am reluctant to do so because I have a lot of other stuff to do plus full-time job. I discovered that bee-hobby required much more attention than any other hobbies I ever had. To me, perhaps the ideal situation would be 3 officially permitted hives and 2 nucs - it is a lot of bees in small place! But it will add some flexibility.
Gas-meter guys are actually very nice - apparently, they have a special code for situation, when they have no access to the meter because of animal. Originally it was for dogs, but now they use it for bees also. They just put this code and come other day. No charges for this.
Серёжа, Sergey
I worried about whether I would have enough forage in our little neighborhood by the bay. But when I talked to one of the local bee gurus who has a yard out in the country, he told me that I'd make twice the honey per hive that he does. Apparently in old established neighborhoods like this, there are so many flowering trees and bushes and flowers that bees can do very well. It may be the same in your neighborhood.
Серёжа, Sergey
Hi Cerezha,
I corresponded a few weeks back. I have a 10 frame and 8 frame. I decided to experiment with frameless foundation in the 8 frame. I took my first deep and put foundationless frames on the ends and then right before I went on a week's vacation put another deep below it with all foundationless frames(using dowels for guides...no wires). I checked today and here is one of the end frames in the 1st box..beautiful!..the other end frame they were just starting..caught them festooning..very cute). I looked in the bottom box and they were just starting in the middle frame. It has been very warm here and the nectar flow is on. Here are some pics of the one frame.IMG_1658.jpgIMG_1659.jpg.
Серёжа, Sergey
Well, I had very nice beginning. My horizontal (sort of) hive is doing well. They decided do not expand vertically anymore - they are busy filling up the deep with nectar and honey. I took only two pictures this time, because I was preoccupied with this gigantic frames. Since last inspection, they build and filled up 3 or 4 new bars with additional support at the sides - you could see the glimpse of the side support in the picture. I removed second deep, because it was completely empty. Next inspection, I think, I may add a medium below the deep or just remove the deep if it is ready. Bees were very docile even when I removed these gigantic frames...
Another hive is entirely different story - I just need to add a super. But I need a few frames with drawn comb to put into empty foundationless box. The plan was to take a few drawn frames from the existing box and put them into new one... Well, I was stung through PM vented beesuit quite a few times (6?)!!! Pigeon Mountain - did you hear me? It is 1 season old suit. So, I was forced to conclude my mission quickly. Girls followed me and made impressive show to my wife, who watched from inside the house - sorry, no pictures. In the morning I watched the same hive from 2' distance standing literally next to the entrance. I guess, our backyard will be unavailable for a few days.
Серёжа, Sergey

Ok I didn't see that one coming!!!
What an awful episode. Rick is going to lose his leadership, but that whole exchange should have never happened.
Best part was Daryl getting in that guy's face about the alcohol.
Messed up what happened to the peach lady lol.
Taping the Dead, watching the Dallas/Saints game!
You aren't missing anything, it wasn't that great until the end.
The end was good. The little girl should have bit it!! Can't stand her. Anyway can't wait to see Daryl when Rick tells him about Carol.

Hello All,
In the next days I am moving to a new apartment with a very nice balcony facing the woods, and I decided to install a few swarms of stingless bees in there, just as a hobby. This is becoming rather common here down.
We do have a lot of different species of stingless bees in Brazil. There are about 300 species already identified and more yet to be discovered. They are quite diverse, with different sizes, shapes, colors, behavior and honey productivity. Some of them can even produce more honey per bee than the Apis Melifera, and their honey is also more valued in the market. Researching to decide which species to purchase I found theres a lot of information available about these Brazilian bees in the WWW, but mostly in Portuguese. I found almost nothing in English about them.
I also found some chats about these bees in foreign forums like this, but most comments showed a very low level of knowledge about such bees. Maybe I can help filling this void, so if anyone is curious, I can bring some info here thus you can learn about them. Just to tease, I would like to post an image of a few of these species below. Ill be glad to answer any question about these amazing bees, if anyone is interested.

Obama and Drone Warfare: Will Americans Speak Out?
Posted by Medea Benjamin in Global Exchange Community, Global Exchange News & Events, Peace, Democracy and Human Rights, Stop Funding War, World News & Events on 30th May, 2012 | 4 Comments
On May 29, The New York Times published an extraordinarily in-depth look at the intimate role President Obama has played in authorizing US drone attacks overseas, particularly in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. It is chilling to read the cold, macabre ease with which the President and his staff decide who will live or die.
