How long do bees live? How long will the queen live? If I re-queen an aggressive hive, how long does it take to "breed out" the aggressiveness?
How long do bees live? How long will the queen live? If I re-queen an aggressive hive, how long does it take to "breed out" the aggressiveness?
Like many things, it "depends." One of the key factors is how much flying the worker bees can do. In the winter, when bees fly much less than summer, they may live 4 months or so. When they are more active, worker bees may live 4-6 weeks or so.
Drones likely die if they get kicked out of the hive in preparation for winter. Queens have reportedly lived as long as 4-7 years, but most probably do not. Part of the answer to how long queens live depends on the beekeeper's re-queening schedule, if there is one.
I generally prefer to provide a link to back up statements like I made above, and Michael Bush's website is usually my first source. While I can't find a MB page that addresses your specific question, you may find this page useful:
As you get time over the winter, I suggest reading all of Mr. Bush's beekeeping pages.

i have read that it is harder to requeen really aggressive bees. seems like i remember the recommendation being to split the colony up into several smaller nucs first, and requeen each one.
i had a five frame nuc that was too aggressive for me this spring. i split it in half and got two new queens.
they were much easier to deal with after the splitting and requeening.
to your question, the first new bees hatch out three weeks after requeening, and there should be a gradual transition from the old bees to the new ones after that.

University College London established its Institute of Global Law in 2000. The setting up of the Institute acknowledges the impact of law across national boundaries and the need to deepen inquiry into comparative approaches to law and legal study. The Institute also recognises that global and transnational legal issues cannot be understood without recourse to other social sciences, such as economics, sociology, anthropology or philosophy.
The logo of the Institute depicts Aristotle and Plato, the 'fathers' of the comparative study of law and political institutions from 'The School of Athens' by Raphael, part of the Stanza della Segnatura, in the Palazzi Pontifici, Vatican. The Institute has adopted as its motto St Paul's exhortation to the Thessalonians: "Probe everything and retain the best".

About the event
All European states currently subscribe to the notion, enshrined in Art. 9 of the European Convention of Human Rights, that we as individuals have the absolute right to hold religious beliefs and, more generally, to enjoy freedom of thought and conscience. But the extent to which we can manifest those beliefs publicly – be it through worship, teaching, symbols or dress – is more and more contested. The European Convention requires that those manifestations may only be restricted by law and where it is necessary in the interests of public safety, to protect public order, health or morals, or to protect the rights and freedoms of others. But how are we to decide what is 'necessary' in such cases? Can the protection of 'common values' fall under that category and if so, to what extent?

Currently, my hives are strong on at least 2 deep boxes, full of bees, they just came out of citrus (oranges). I was wondering if you know (recommend) someone that has registered locations and does a fair job, is honest, as we are. Thanks.

UTSA to honor peace officers Friday, May 15
By Stephanie Padula
Lieutenant, UTSA Police Department
(May 12, 2009)--The UTSA Police Department and the Alamo Area Chiefs Association will host a Peace Officers Memorial Day ceremony at 9 a.m., Friday, May 15 at Bill Miller Plaza on the UTSA Downtown Campus. As part of National Police Week, the event is free and open to the public.

The Peace Officers Memorial Day ceremony brings together all branches of the San Antonio and Bexar County law enforcement communities including local police, police from special jurisdictions such as college campuses, and park police, state troopers, military police and federal agencies including ATF, DEA, FBI, Secret Service and U.S. Marshals.
The ceremony will include presentation of the colors, roll call for the absent and a wreath presentation. Ralph Diaz, special agent in charge in the FBI San Antonio office, will speak at the ceremony. There will be an invocation by Rev. Peter De Jesus of Cornerstone Church.
National Peace Officers Memorial Day began in 1962 when President John F. Kennedy designated the week encompassing May 15 as National Police Week. Every 57 hours, a law enforcement officer gives up his or her life in the line of duty. In 2008, Texas lost 14 law enforcement officers. Since 1963, 29 university police officers nationwide have died in the line of duty protecting college campuses.

2005 GTA Trilogy Tribute
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 01:24 AM MDT | By Zidane
Throughout the years I've watched a lot of fan videos based on various video games, but nothing quite like this one. Jordan Liles, the webmaster from Planet GTA, has created an amazing video called "GTA Trilogy Tribute" which takes you through all of the action scenes GTA3, GTA: VC, and GTA: SA have to offer.
Rockstar Games started a video game revolution with the release of Grand Theft Auto III. However, few knew what else they had in store. While 2001 brought GTA III, 2002 brought Vice City, a game that almost all critics claim was a game that was monstrously better than III. Then, Rockstar's ace marketing machine released a magazine at E3 2004, revealing their final plans for this mega-trilogy that will go down as one of the most successful of all time...

Council debates timing of overflight photography
According to draft meeting minutes of the Fifty Lakes City Council meeting Feb. 12, the council will hold off on further overflight photos of lakes in the city.
A committee of three, made up of Gordy Reller, Les Degner and Ken Neihart, has been researching and examining overhead images taken by A.W. Research that measure lake health and quality.
That committee recommended postponing the next phases of imaging, while the planning commission recommended continuing the process.
The next phase of the project was to take images of area lakes while the ice is in, but the vote was split 2-2 and failed among the council to continue with imaging this winter.
Greg Buchite and Jay Weinmann voted in favor of conducting imaging this summer; Ken Hersey and Jodie Schrupp voted against it. Degner attended the meeting via Skype, but draft minutes state that Minnesota statutes did not allow Degner to vote.
The imaging will be postponed so that more image research can be conducted on the images themselves.
In other business Tuesday, Feb. 12, the council:
• Adopted an electronic funds wire transfer policy.
• Heard the municipal liquor store had a total profit of $19,482, according to the official audit.
• Learned Tim Anick was elected planning commission chair, and Duey Bendt was elected vice chair.
• Adopted updated zoning fees.
• Heard from Andy Hemphill, fire chief, that there were two fires and two medical calls in January.

Was watching the combine for a little while and this guys numbers popped out at me.
Hes 6'5 252 pounds
4.53 40 yard dash (3rd best for TE's)
36 inch vertical (Best among TE's)
11 foot broad jump (Best among TE's)
He's an athletic freak and these are almost identical to what jimmy graham put up in the combine 2 years ago. In no way shape or form am i saying hes going to be anywhere near as good as graham, just pointing out they had similar combine numbers and he has the potential to be that kind of player. Hes projected to be a mid 3rd to early fourth round pick. I think he would be a nice pick up for the giants in the third round. Any thoughts?

Existing-building commissioning (EBCx) has been slow to gain acceptance in the operations-and-maintenance (O&M) community, partly because EBCx often is confused with O&M/preventive maintenance (PM). When EBCx is confused with O&M/PM, the facility owner feels like he or she is paying for the same service twice. Even worse, the O&M staff feels as though an outside crew is going to find fault with its work. Nothing could be further from the truth. EBCx empowers a building's ...

Town Square
President Outgunned
Original post made by Harry Roussard, another community, on Sep 16, 2013
Just over 51% of the population, after a disastrous first four years, applauded and requested an Obama encore to give us more pirouettes, which publicly displayed his dirty underwear in scandals like NSA, Benghazi, the economy, Obamacare, IRS and many others.
Now, is that shame on Obama or on the 51% who again voted for someone clearly not suited nor qualified for the position of prima ballerina assoluta? I say shame on those who let it happen.
Oh, and I am sure Putin is going to get a special bottle of bubbly for yanking Barack's backside out of the wringer in Syria. That was the grandest of contretemps Mr. Obama got himself and us into, even though Barack first said "no way" to diplomacy" and pushed for a surgical pin-prick attack.
The defense lobby must have been celebrating too early at the thought of replacing all these spent cruise missiles at a mere $1 million each. Another backroom deal, I wonder? The White House is licking its wounds, spinning and rewriting history so as not to look incompetent. They were outclassed and outgunned.
Winner by technical knockout. Russia!

"Just over 51% of the population" opposed to Mr 47 percenter getting 47%.
Losing by 5 million votes. Still stings, doesn't it? That must still bug you every night, while you lie awake.
I think we all won with Syria. You and I didn't want to attack Syria, so Obama's actions worked. No one else was supporting an attack, so the back channel diplomacy worked.
Try harder in 2016 to get those 5 million votes back. Addressing the President of our great country as a ballerina just makes it easier to stay blue. Appreciate your help with the 2nd grader name-calling.

"Last night President Obama spoke to the nation about Syria. Hopefully, Americans who were confused about the president's plan feel better now, knowing that he's confused too." –Jay Leno
"Well, it was confusing, wasn't it? First, President Obama laid out his reasoning for a strike against Syria. And then he gave the rebuttal." –Jay Leno
"John Kerry has insisted that any military strike on Syria will be 'unbelievably small.' But not as small as the SUPPORT for a strike on Syria." –Jay Leno
"Last week Americans viewed 12 times as many stories about Miley Cyrus as they did about Syria. Which is why last night President Obama gave his speech on Syria while rubbing up against Robin Thicke." –Conan O'Brien
"John Kerry has given Syria one week to hand over its chemical weapons. And if they don't . . . he'll give them another week." –Jay Leno
"Syria's President Assad referred to President Obama as weak. Obama is so angry he plans to ask Congress for permission to come up with a good comeback." –Conan O'Brien
"I guess we're getting ready to attack Syria. But if we win, in the semifinals we face Iran." –David Letterman
"If President Obama really wants to hurt the Syrian government, don't send cruise missiles. He should end over some of his economic advisers." –Jay Leno
"President Obama is planning to address the nation, and instead of calling his plan to attack Syria a war, he is calling it a 'limited military intervention,' which sounds better than 'potential endless quagmire.' –Jay Leno
"President Obama is asking Congress to support a military strike in Syria. If they approve, it will be the first time Congress has officially declared war since Obamacare." –Jay Leno
President Obama is trying to get congressional approval before we attack Syria. And if that works, there's talk we might even consider bringing back the rest of the Constitution." –Jay Leno
"President Obama is pretty clever. Did you see what he is doing to get Congress to approve the attack? He told them Syrian President Assad supports Obamacare." –Jay Leno
"They're saying now that the war against Syria will last no more than two days. It's going to be a two-day war. You know what that means? We'll be there for another 10 years." –David Letterman
"Vice President Joe Biden said today that 'Syria must be held accountable.' Unfortunately, the Obama administration has never employed an accountant, so they have no idea how to do that." –Jay Leno

"The White House has a new slogan: "Hope and let the Russians fix it." --- Jay Leno
You can tell that fall is coming. The leaves are changing faster than the White House position on Syria. --- Jay Leno
President Obama did six TV interviews today to explain his decision to strike Syria. Yeah, six. Even Ryan Seacrest was like, "That guy's on too many shows." --- Jimmy Fallon
President Obama is in Russia. You know what he's doing there? I think he's seeking asylum. --- Jay Leno
The president cancelled a fundraising trip to California next week because of the Syria situation. That's when you know this is serious. --- Jay Leno
On Tuesday President Obama is planning to address the nation. Instead of calling his plan to attack Syria "a war," he is calling it a "limited military intervention" — which sounds better than "potential endless quagmire." --- Jay Leno
John Kerry said during the Senate hearing that we are not the world's policemen. Really, then how come we eat most of the world's donuts? --- Jay Leno
Former President Bill Clinton is traveling the country holding town hall meetings where he explains Obamacare. After that he will explain twerking. --- David Letterman
John McCain was caught playing video poker on his iPhone during the Senate hearings the other day. Everybody is criticizing McCain, but compared to what other politicians are doing on their iPhones, that's not so bad, OK?--- Jay Leno
All week president Obama has been saying he will seek congressional approval for the strike but he insists he doesn't really need it. When asked by the media if he was sending mixed messages, the president said: "Yes and no." --- Jay Leno
President Obama says the lack of response to Syria so far does not threaten his credibility. And you know something, he's right. The economy, Benghazi, the spying scandal — that threatens his credibility, but this other stuff, no. --- Jay Leno

Here's a great series of hip-hopping joke-sters: Republican governors that support Obamacare!
These are top GOP govs, many of whom spoke at the Republican National Convention in key time slots reserved for those destined for future leadership roles in the GOP. They're all signing up for Obamacare, though they don't use the O-word. They rename it or allude to it under different covers, such as using O-Care for massively expanding Medicaid, but hey - all are taking the O-bucks! Funny comedians!

* Tom Corbett, Pennsylvania
* Chris Christie, New Jersey
* Jan Brewer, Arizona
* Susana Martinez, New Mexico
* John Kasich - Ohio
Kasich "has endeared himself to liberal and low-income Ohioans by insisting, loudly and incessantly, that his state participate in the Medicaid expansion under Obamacare. An unapologetic conservative is fighting the tea party and his own Republican legislature because he thinks the less privileged people of Ohio deserve health coverage.
At heaven's door, Kasich preached, St. Peter is "probably not going to ask you much about what you did about keeping government small. But he is going to ask you what you did for the poor." "
Next thing you know, these top Republican leaders will deny tax payer subsidies for big agriculture companies and SUPPORT food stamps for the hungry.

Here's a more complete punchline:
"Michigan Republican Gov. Rick Snyder signed historic Medicaid expansion legislation into law on Monday in the same way the Legislature passed it: With bipartisan support.
Snyder was flanked by Democratic U.S. Rep. John Dingell, who authored part of the Affordable Care Act, as he put his pen to a plan designed to reform Medicaid and expand eligibility to nearly a half million people using federal funding available under the controversial law.
"This is about the health of fellow Michiganders," Snyder said"
John Dingell - can you imagine? I'm howling!

Politico, the liberal leaning political web site excoriates President Obama for his "bait and switch" tactics regarding Obamacare. Obama who has taken a page out of Reverend Ike's book will start the great American fleecing of the unsuspecting public.
But he had help from a fawning national press and television stations who actively campaigned very hard to get the Socialist in Chief another term after a disastrous first term.

from Lae's own link, thanks Lae for highlighting the success of ObamaCare:
"And already, despite the unceasing GOP campaign to sink the law, Obamacare has exceeded expectations in some significant ways.
The growth rate for health care costs has slowed to its lowest level in decades...
More than 3.1 million young adults gained coverage because they could stay on their parents' insurance; 17 million children with pre-existing conditions can no longer be denied coverage; and insurers have been forced to issue more than $500 million in rebate checks to consumers because they failed to spend at least 80 percent of premiums on medical care.
"The Affordable Care Act has put historic consumer protections in place that have improved the quality and cost of health insurance and will soon provide a simple way for uninsured Americans and their families to shop for quality, affordable coverage in the health insurance marketplaces," White House spokeswoman Jessica Santillo said. "The landmark improvements to the health system are taking effect on time and are already helping make better coverage available at a more affordable price."
The broad pillars of Obamacare remain intact: the exchanges, the subsidies and the security of coverage for so many Americans who otherwise couldn't afford it."

I have already received 2 rebate checks from my insurer because they haven't spent enough on medical care, thanks to ObamaCare.
No more pre-existing conditions. 26 year olds on parents plan. Insurance companies refunding half a BILLION dollars. Slowing the rate of cost growth.
The GOP plan? Don't get sick. If you do, die quickly and save your family the expense.

Who's against ObamaCare? The wackobirds in Congress, because they have too much to lose - from todays NYT:
Eugene Robinson: "Republicans scream that Obamacare is sure to fail. But what they really fear is that it will succeed.
That's the reason for all the desperation. Republicans are afraid that Obamacare will not prove to be a bureaucratic nightmare — that Americans, in fact, will find they actually like it. [...] Keeping premiums under control will require persuading lots of young, healthy people to buy insurance — and thus, in effect, subsidize those who are older and sicker. That is why a group called Generation Opportunity, funded by the ultraconservative Koch brothers, plans to tour college campuses with disgusting ads in which a creepy Uncle Sam subjects a young woman to a pelvic examination.
The GOP message: Whatever you do, don't buy health insurance. It may be — shudder — good for you."
How do they fight it? They lie, and sacrifice the health of young adults that should be covered:
Juliet Lapidos: "A Koch-brothers funded conservative group, Generation Opportunity, is out with a wildly misleading, pernicious set of ads aimed at sabotaging the Affordable Care Act by discouraging young people from signing up for health insurance exchanges.
Signing up for an exchange isn't an act of political (or sexual) submission. It's just a way to get insurance if you don't have a job or your employer doesn't provide it. The Generation Opportunity crowd surely knows that and obviously doesn't care because its priority now, as ever, is bringing down President Obama's signature domestic accomplishment. The group also doesn't care about the possibility that some number of young people, scared by its ads, will forgo access to affordable care, get sick, and go bankrupt paying their medical bills."

So the vitriol that Henry Roussard writes now gets moved front and center by The Almanac. Obama is a "Tutu wearing dilletante" ? Are you serious?
It's been clear for some time that The Almanac and Palo Alto Online have been hard-up for actual news (not much happens around here), so they've tried to stir up as much craziness as possible to increase readership. Reminds me of the old National Enquirer.
We are living in an area that is among the wealthiest and most educated -- and certainly most beautiful -- in the U.S., why is there so much anger and self-pity about every single issue?
It's tiresome.

During the heat of the 2012 presidential campaign, when Obama was preening his tough guy image, he blurted out: "we have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus."
In reality, the president didn't set a red line as much as paint the United States into a corner.
The outcome is increased Russian influence in a dangerous region of the globe. I expect frightening consequences. Putin is now in charge of disarming chemical weapons in Syria, the same country Russia has spent the last half century arming. Meanwhile, Putin is actually escalating the shipment of conventional arms to Syria, ensuring the Syrian civil war continues.
While Obama has been pontificating about chemical weapons, over 100,000 Syrians have been killed by the conventional weapons Putin continues pouring into Assad's waiting arms.
In addition to what he is doing in Syria, Putin is using the cover from Obama to double down in Iran, The Russians announced last week that they're selling sophisticated S-300 air defense missiles to Iran and are also ready to help build a second nuclear reactor for the Bushehr Nuclear Plant.

Obama did a masterful job!
No attacking another middle eastern country, diplomacy saved lives. None of our allies supported an attack anyway.
Even Republican Nicole Wallace agreed Obama did well. Wallace, the campaign manager for McCain/Palin-the-half-termer, said this week: "Republican senator Corker said it's hard to deny that Obama didn't land on some solid ground"
Obama just followed the plan laid out a year ago by none other than THE HEAD OF FOX NEWS, Roger Ailes, who said:
"Putin is angry. ..... Okay, fine, that's how he feels. If I were president, I'd get in a room with him and say, 'Look at the slaughter going on in Syria. You can stop it. Do it, and I'll see to it that you can get all the credit. I'll tell the world it was you who saved the innocent children of Syria from slaughter. ... But instead of looking for one huge deal that settles everything, you take a piece of the problem and solve it. ... Everybody needs dignity. And what does it cost? You get what you want you give up nothing."
Obama and Kerry did a GREAT job! Let Russia 'solve ' this, let them have the credit. Big whoop-de-do, who gives a...., no one cares, except one particular group -
...the Low Self Esteem Americans who think we have to be the bully on the block, but who cares what those idiots think?

Dear Bullies,
All that shows is that Roger Ailes is a lot smarter than Obama. Duh! Everyone knows that. Putin played Obama like Itzhak Perlman playing a Stradivarius.
Putin is a master of negotiations and Obama is a mere dilettante. The first thing they teach you in B school is never issue an ultimatum. It severely limits your options and ability to negotiate. Obama issued an ultimatum and painted himself into a corner.
One rule of negotiation is to be prepared to give something up that the other side thinks is very important to you but in reality it is a red herring that you are willing to give up to keep the real thing you want off the negotiation table. Putin was masterful.
Obama put his foot in his mouth with the red line ultimatum. What a dummkopf!
Then Putin comes to the rescue by offering to take care of the Chemical Weapons problem. The chemical weapons were Putin's throwaway and were a throwaway from the very beginning. And Obama eagerly took Putin's bait. Putin's real end game was to silence any Obama objections over conventional weapons.
Putin was the real master here. Over 100,000 Syrians have been killed with conventional weapons provided by Russia to Syria and Putin has more coming Assad's way. With the so called chemical weapon bailout of Obama Putin effectively neutered Obama regarding any protests about conventional weapons.
It is really embarrassing to see Putin so easily out-negotiate and outmaneuver Obama.
The United States has lost prestige and power in the Middle East. Obama is widely seen as an amateur who has not a soupçon of common sense or experience. Unfortunately with Obama at the helm the United States is a rudderless ship with no direction. It is the ship of fools.
Hopefully the mid-term elections will restore some dignity and prestige to the United States.

"Putin is a master of negotiations" Ha! Translation: Russia has bought Assad's military (look at Syria's GDP, they could never affords that army.) He who buys your tanks, calls your shots.
Wow, what a master of 'negotiations'! Sort of like Daddy Stumpf telling Stumpf Jr. he what the rules are about posting on his computer. Is that negotiating?
"Hopefully the mid-term elections will restore some dignity and prestige to the United States."
Yup, we agree. With Canadian Cruz 'filibustering' (but not really a filibuster) a bill for a couple hours, and then voting for that very bill, yes, Americans can't wait to tell the GOP about shutting down the government.
Ted 'Calgary' Cruz says: "a vote for cloture is a vote to fund ObamaCare" Cruz then votes for cloture!
Government Shutdown help the GOP in midterms? Nope. "CBS News/New York Times poll: Eighty percent of Americans say threatening a government shutdown during budget debates is not an acceptable way to negotiate; only 16 percent think it is"
80% oppose republicans.
That's even more than Mr 47% got in the last election.

On Aug. 22, an unknown group fired rockets into residential neighborhoods around Damascus, injuring hundreds of people. Obama immediately blamed Assad. Putin countered and said, "not so fast". Putin didn't blame anyone because there was no proof as to who was the provocateur, but wisely said it was more than likely a challenge designed to rope the USA into another Middle Eastern war. Obama is the one who wanted to go to war and it was Putin who wisely said to exercise restraint. Obama was the cowboy ready to go in with guns blazing. Putin had the calm head and wisdom prevailed
Obama didn't care who initiated the attack and neither did Secretary of State, Kerry. They wanted the world to believe it was Assad so Obama could appear to be tough (The truth is that Michelle could easily kick Obama's bony little a** any day of the week). Obama quickly ordered the military to be prepared for torpedo strikes fired from American destroyers off shore. But when world opinion turned on Obama because he didn't have any proof to back up his reckless and provocative rhetoric, along with Obama's biggest ally, the U.K. balking on the idea of another Middle East incursion, Obama thankfully lost his nerve and handed the military intervention decision over to Congress after he told Congress he didn't need their approval. What a putz.
Obama drew the line in the sand but could get no one to support him. Obama is a real loser.

PPP "PPP's newest national poll finds a bipartisan consensus on one issue during a time of great division: voters think members of Congress who vote to repeal Obamacare should also give up their government funded health care. 74% agree with that sentiment to only 12% who disagree. And there's not much of a difference about it across party lines- independents (80/8), Democrats (75/14), and Republicans (69/15) all think that if you vote to get rid of Obamacare you should give up your health insurance too."

OAKLAND — Warriors center Andrew Bogut simply couldn't take being limited anymore. So on Thursday the decision was made to shut him down for a period of time the team hopes will be only seven to 10 days.
"I feel like I'm a liability out there," said Bogut, who initially broke his left ankle in January while playing for the Milwaukee Bucks. "I can't rebound, I can't move the way I like to move."
Bogut will not play Friday night at the Los Angeles Lakers. He will be out for Saturday's game against visiting Denver and Wednesday's home game against Atlanta. Bogut also could miss the ensuing three-game road trip to Minnesota, Oklahoma City and Dallas.
Rookie center Festus Ezeli will start in his place.
Golden State coach Mark Jackson said it wasn't a setback, that the Warriors simply were giving Bogut time to strengthen his ankle. He said even when Bogut gets back, he still will be limited. Will seven to 10 days be enough?
"I would hope that's it," Jackson said. "But like everything else, it's going to be wait and see. This is a process. Ultimately we're going to stay true to the process, listening to his body and make decisions based on that. É
"He doesn't feel like he's 100 percent. He's clearly not. He's going to experience some pain as part of the process, and he's not going to be the Andrew Bogut we know and appreciate right away. And it's frustrating at times."
Bogut said he might have come back too early, trying to "be a hero." He played in the season opener on Halloween despite having just two full practices under his belt since having arthroscopic surgery in April. He has played in four of the team's five games, averaging 18.3 minutes, 6.0 points and 3.8 rebounds.
Bogut said in hindsight, he should have waited until his ankle was completely healed.
He's still having to deal with some pain and soreness. He's also dealing with occasional swelling, which he said is a sign that something is wrong and an area "I probably haven't managed as well."
But the biggest thing for Bogut is what he can't do on the court. He said he can't push off his left ankle, which impacts his rebounding, his ability to block shots and dive for loose balls. He just doesn't have the confidence in his wheel, and he doesn't like how he is playing.
"I just don't feel like I can get that explosiveness off my ankle that I'd like," he said. "I don't want it to be a situation where I'm taking away from my teammates who are probably playing better than me at the moment. And I'm just playing because they're trying to get me healthy."
Bogut said he, the doctors and athletic trainers concluded that his ankle wouldn't get better as long as he was playing. During this shutdown, he said he will undergo "rigorous" strength training on his left ankle.
He said when he comes back, he wants to be able to move around with confidence and push off. He said he wants to be strong enough to play more than 20 minutes, which has been his limit the first week of the season.
That could take five days or it could take three weeks. One certainty: A different course of action was needed.
"It's tough," Bogut said. "Even off the floor because it just weighs on my mind. I know a lot of people are expecting me to be what I'm supposed to be. It hasn't come to that yet. It's going to take me a while to come to the top of my game."

I'm currently riding the old flexfire, 6'6 x 19 1/4 x 2 1/2 and a Webber fish. I'm 45 years old, 205 lbs, within 34 years surfing experience. Looking for a new two board quiver, with the deck of the flexfire now denting badly under the front foot. The flexfire feels a little small, especially in good surf so I'm looking for a little more float. Would you recommend the Lost Stealth in the 6'4 with similar volume to the Dominator, or the 6'2 with standard shortboard float. Looking at possibly the Lost F1 to go with it for quality surf, but was wondering whether Rapidfire technology would offer more protection against deck compression, as I always kill them ! If this is the case, with the F1 not available in this option, what would you go for ?
No announcement yet.
Lots of questions !
new posts
FST is the stronger tech in my opinion. However, RF does have a higher density foam under the bamboo, so although the bamboo will dent under your front foot, it could be that the foam will stabilise better than the super light foam in the FST construction once the deck had dented.
I know Dave (corepersonaltraining) really likes the RF tech and he describes himself as a bit of a leadfoot.
Model wise, have you thought about the new Michel Bourez model? It'll allow you to get a bit more float than the FF without having to go longer. It has a springer too which might help the front foot denting.
Looked at the Bourez. The 6'4 looks good, but wonder if it would feel short in good surf. What do you recon on the Stealth, do you ride them as a shortboard, or as a hybrid ? If you recon the FST is tougher, then that opens up more possibilities ! F1 as a good iwaves board and a Sub scorcher for small days. Or a Bourez, or Alternator, with a Spitfire or Dominator...I don't know ! Help ! Any idea what volume my old flexfire is, that may help
I'd put your FF around 32l based on the current 606 x 19.25" x 2.63" Flexfire @ 33.6l.
As for the Bourez feeling short, I guess that depends on what you're used to riding. A lot of people's standard shortboard lengths are around 2" longer than their height. That said, everyone seems to be loving shorter boards. A lot of the guys on here have been raving about the Hellfire in solid waves and that's riding a board 4" or so shorter than their usual shortboard. I'd normally be on a 6'2" but I've been shortening my shortboard down to 6'0" as I've been surfing 5'8"s in most conditions now and find when I get on a 6'2" it feels so long. It depends very much on the waves you're surfing, the way you like to surf and what you're used to I guess. I think the 6'4" Bourez would feel plenty long enough though, especially if you aren't over 6ft tall.
As for the Stealth, it's a hybrid board but very close to a shortboard. I think you'd typically ride it 2", maybe 4" shorter, but I hear they go best when the waves have a little bit of quality rather than full junk and they are really high performance boards despite being hybrids.
I'm riding the Sub Scorcher myself and can't say enough good things about the board. I've used it in small chest high stuff right up to head and a half ground swell and it held in it all. It's the only board I've surfed since I bought in October. That said, the Dom and Spitfire are amazingly fun boards, and it looks like there's plenty of new smaller wave models coming out this year as well. Too many choices!
Yep, you said it ! I am 6'2, but the float on the Bourez looks good. The F1 also looks great at 33.9. Thanks for the info on the Stealth. I think I've possibly made my mind up ! An F1 and Sub Scorcher. Just got to find them in stock somewhere now. May try and find full deck grip, to protect them a bit, if I can.

Hi, All! How is everyone's flowers growing now? Thought to share some nice pics from today in a sunny mid 50s. Trying to start the hive as early as possible now that I got a new laying queen bee. Perfect laying pattern so far on a hive check today with various stages of larvae development and some new eggs on another frame not hatch yet. This is a young prolific Italian gentle queen bee I put in 10 days ago. So with a new queen laying now the hive is very busy outside collecting nectar and pollens for the young larvae. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53sQj8h2m3w
Here are some pics to show what they are doing today. I planted some canola as an early flowering source for the bees since there isn't much out there right now before the Spring time here. They are just started blooming this week and going to be 2 more month before another new batch from the field that will be bigger and better to replace them. You can see the bee collecting pollen and nectar from the potted canola flying from one pot to the next. Then bringing the pollens home at the hive entrance. It is not easy to capture precisely when they're flying inside in such a hurry. Lining up in the pots are borage, sunflowers, russian sage, and about to bloom yellow daisy in a week or two. Keep that organic compost tea coming.... Can you see the pollen sack on the bee leg from the side? Who can share some pics with us to enjoy as well in this cold gloomy winter time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyt3L...ature=youtu.be

Of all the beauty sins, avoiding sunscreen is the worst. But it's hard to get excited about products that can leave us feeling a bit greasy and, even worse, have a very distinctive "eau de SPF." The perfect solution: a sheer mineral sunscreen that provides UVA and UVB protection and goes on dry. Did we mention that it's water-resistant and as easy to apply as your translucent powder?
Get this product - you will love it! This morning, I was just singing the praises of this product to my SkinSpirit Esthetician. This is hands down the best powder - no talc so will not clog pores, great colors, and sunscreen. I keep it in my bag and apply throughout the day to keep my skin protected. Just used it while hiking to waterfalls in Maui and shading my skin from the spring Paris sunshine walking along the Seine.5
My favorite go-to sunblock product. It makes re-applying sunblock roughly every two hours very doable, easy, and fast! I just simply brush a few circular strokes around my face and done whereas with the liquid sunblock, I have to pour some onto one hand and use my other hand to apply to my face, then rub a few times to make sure it is completely absorbed, then move onto the next section of my face and repeat procedure. Best of all, it doesn't leave my face looking greasy and pasty pale.5
This is a GREAT product for days when you want to run out of the house looking great, but you just don't have those 5 minutes to put on your foundation. I used this product all the time in the California sunshine when I wanted something light and easy. I have sensitive skin and this was the powder for me.5
Got this as a Birchbox sample, immediately fell in love. Out of all the mineral foundations I've tried, this one takes the cake for best overall performance. It is so good I used it when I was in a wedding, my skin and makeup looked amazing in the photos! Not to mention it lasted a sunny beach wedding, reception and photos taken on the beach. I love that it doesn't wear over time, and gives pretty good coverage without looking caked up. The final product is smooth, flawless and radiant.5
I have such a hard time with SPF lotions. I like to use a particular face lotion and I don't like the version with SPF, but that leaves me in a tricky spot as someone who doesn't use foundation and doesn't want sun damage. The colorescience pro sunforgettable is pretty much everything that I wanted! It doesn't make me break out, it doesn't make me look like I have a ton of anything on my face, and it keeps me from getting sunburned. Plus, it's so easy to put on that I'm much more likely to reapply... it's definitely helped me get less sun damage.4
I love this product. Not only did it allow me to carry a non greasy SPF product in my purse, it was easy and quick to apply. I used it on my kids without complaint from them. As a melanoma survivor I am looking for skin protectors that are convenient and effective. This product is pricy but worth the money.4
I use this everyday- usually several times a day. It is also the only make-up item I use everyday.
Rather than layering on liquid sunscreen for sun protection and make-up for coverage this is a one-stop gem. It also takes away any oil and doesn't look caked on like most mid-day makeup redos as I constantly reapply.
While I keep this powder brush in my car and another in my purse I have also bought refills which I then put into empty powder jars for easier use at home with my favorite make-up brushes.

text: I've got 2 hives here in PA. I'd been feeding my hives in the early fall, and both were sucking down syrup at a pretty good pace. I filled both feeders with syrup 2 weeks ago. In the meantime, the weather has cooled off and we had the Sandy storm come through, so I'm sure they were closed up inside for much of that time. Made another batch of syrup today and went out to add it to the feeders -- and found that the feeders in both hives have barely been touched. Should I be concerned about this? There is bee activity in both hives (coming and going at the entrance).

Animals are an important part of our lives. Whether we're talking about a family's pet or a farmer's livestock, we at FDA are committed to doing all we can to keep the foods they eat free of contamination.
To this end, we have proposed the Preventive Controls for Food for Animals rule to establish good manufacturing practices for facilities and personnel involved in manufacturing, processing, packing and holding animal food. It would require facility owners to have a food safety plan and to have controls in place to minimize any potential hazards.
This proposed rule pulls together the work we've done over the past decade to craft a safety system for animal food and will give us new tools to do this important work. The research and findings of the agency's Animal Feed Safety System Working Group helped create the foundation for the proposed regulations.
Historically, we have put most of our efforts into responding to safety issues involving animal food as they arise. And while regulations have been crafted to address such threats as the brain-wasting bovine spongiform encephalopathy (aka "mad cow" disease), this regulation moves towards a comprehensive, risk-based regulatory framework to keep all animal foods safe.
And you can see by looking at some of the crises in recent years this is clearly an important public health issue, one that affects both animals and people.
Everyone still remembers the massive recall of pet foods in 2007 after melamine, a chemical used to make plastic, was intentionally added to ingredients produced in China, killing pets across the country.
Just last year, 30,000 tons of dry dog and cat food were recalled following an outbreak of Salmonella tied to a South Carolina facility. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 47 people in 20 states and two in Canada fell ill from coming in contact with the contaminated food.
Globally, public health agencies have for years dealt with the presence of dioxin – linked to cancer and developmental problems in people – in animal food ingredients, and those episodes led to multiple food recalls.
While FDA moved quickly in response to these and other crises tied to contaminated pet foods, the agency's focus changed with the enactment in 2011 of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act. Congress charged FDA to take a more preventive, risk-based regulatory approach.
While FDA has proposed four other rules this year that were mandated by the food safety law, we chose to handle safety issues involving animal foods separately. Animal and human foods are produced differently, and animals and people are vulnerable to different hazards.
Also, the rule deals with the nutrient content of animal foods to satisfy a need that is unique to animals. If humans eat a food that's not particularly nutritious, we can choose something else later. Animals obviously don't have that option, and they usually get the same food for every meal, so these foods must be complete, nutritionally balanced products.
The bottom line is that we want the foods that animals eat to be safe. We want you to be safe if you're handling pet food or eating foods derived from animals. This rule will help us do that. You are welcome to read the rule and submit comments by visiting FDA's official docket at www.regulations.gov or www.fda.gov/fsma.
