Playboy.com's WWE Diva Week: Candice Michelle
Playboy titled it: "Candice Michelle. Out of the ring. Out her clothes. Outrageous." And quite frankly that pretty much sums it up.
Playboy.com's WWE Diva week, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the RAW, continues with Candice Michelle, the Diva who brought sex appeal back to the ring. See her nude 2006 pictorial and Playboy interview below or check out the other Divas who have graced our pages: Chyna, Torrie Wilson and Christy Hemme here.
Candice Michelle has a wicked little fantasy. Wearing a lace-up bustier, tight shorts and thigh-high leather boots, she enters a dark room full of strangers Another woman approaches. Candice pounces, wrapping her thighs around the woman's neck, gripping her tight. There are variations. Sometimes they struggle, sometimes they scream, but it always ends the same: Candice walks away with the woman's belt and, lo and behold, the championship title in World Wrestling Entertainment's women's division.
Candice may just win that title on April 2, when she enters the ring in a live pay-per-view extravaganza in Chicago. She's not lacking in confidence: "When I take something on. I don't hold back," she says. "Women's wrestling needs more sex appeal, and becoming champion is the fastest way I know to make that happen."
You have to love a woman who has her goals all mapped out. And Candice certainly has a knack for turning her dreams into reality. She was only 19 when she told her mother she was leaving her small town in Wisconsin to become a big star. "I packed up the blue Mustang and drove cross-country to Los Angeles," she says while reclining at a waterside cafe in Manna del Rey, California, near her home. "I just kept thinking, Life is too short to be ordinary."
Not that Candice could ever be considered ordinary. Look at her: At the age of 27 she's arguably the foxiest Diva the WWE has ever seen, and with that trademark neck lock of hers — better known as Candylicious she is tough to contend with in the ring or anywhere else.
Whether Candice becomes the champ or not, she's already won our approval. Perhaps you recall a certain television commercial that aired during last year's Super Bowl and another that was broadcast during this season's NFL playoffs. Let us refresh your memory: Candice is dressed in a dangerously skimpy top emblazoned with the GoDaddy .com logo. The commercial does have a plot, but who cares? The only thing anybody noticed was how adept Candice was at keeping those pesky spaghetti straps from popping off under all that pressure.
Apparently the spaghetti straps couldn't take it anymore. 'Another one of my dreams has always been to pose for Playboy," Candice says. It's hard for the busboys not to marvel at her credentials. Why else would they be elbowing past each other to keep her iced-tea glass filled? "I started reading Playboy when I was 17 or 18, and I thought, This is the epitome of a certain kind of beauty and class. It's the beauty of being a woman and of being truly free-spirited."
Read the rest of the Candice Michelle interview on Page 2
Candice's journey from Wisconsin girl to Playboy model wasn't always easy. "My first year in L.A., I cried myself to sleep every night," she remembers. "I couldn't find a lob. I didn't have any friends, and I hated the freeways." So she did what every starving young fame seeker does at moments like those – she started waitressing. "This wasn't just any restaurant gig, though," she insists. "It was this place called Dublin's on the Sunset Strip, and they make you submit a head shot with your resume."
The skills that scored her huge tips from customers are the same ones that make her so successful in the ring and in such movies as Dodgeball, in which she played a cheerleader. "I'm a tough, flirty kind of girl. That's just who I am," Candice says with a glint in her eye. "I use that flirty energy to help me perform, to light up a room. Some people might think its over-the-top but it's what comes naturally to me."
In her silk teddy and tight weathered blue jeans, Candice – who's part German and part Costa Rican – is softer around the edges in person than her WWE persona might suggest. She laughs easily, often at her own expense. Talking about her first big night out in the City of Angels, she blushes at how naïve she was. "A girlfriend of mine from Wisconsin and I went to this place called the Key Club and our jaws dropped to the floor the minute we stepped inside," she says. "The first thing we saw was a dominatrix in a cage in the middle of the dance floor. I thought, This stuff doesn't happen in Wisconsin!"
Since then she has become a dominating force herself. Candice came to the WWE in 2004 as a contestant in the RAW Diva Search. Though she lost to Christy Hemme (Playboy's April 2005 cover girl), she was soon holding her own in pillow fights and bikini contests against some tough competition – Stacy Keibler, Hemme and others. It wasn't long before she was battling bustier a bustier with women's champ Trish Stratus.
Behind the scenes the Divas are more cordial, but the physical aspect of wrestling is serious and unforgiving. "We're on tour four days a week, and we work out five days," says Candice, who joined the WWE crew this past December for a holiday showdown for the troops in Afghanistan. She has also performed for the troops in Iraq. "The pounding on my body is for real," she says. "I get whiplash. I get slammed. I get sore all over the place. Whoever thinks this sport is fake should get in the ring with me."
Ultimately, Candice, who's married to a Los Angeles chiropractor and is the "proud mom" of a Maltese named Bam Bam and a little Yorkie named Betty Boop, says she'd like to star in a feature film. We have no doubt we'll be seeing her name in lights someday soon. But for now, when she's not skate dancing on the Venice boardwalk, she's putting everything she's got into the ring.
"I don't do anything half-assed," she says, finally waving off a busboy. "Whether it's in wrestling, in my relationships or in bed. I don't want to rub anything in anybody's face, but I know I have certain talents, and when I want something, whatever it is, I know I'm going to get it."

Posted: November 27, 2006 in ACE Press Releases
"We all go through noticeable, obvious phases when making decisions to change habits, said Dr. Cedric Bryant, ACE chief science officer. "By taking the time to evaluate if you are ready to start exercising, you've thoughtfully planted yourself on the path to better health and fitness."
Created by Prochaska, DiClemente, and Norcross in 1991, the stages-of-change model includes:
Precontemplation: You are in denial. You are not intending to change anytime soon (that is, within six months). You are unaware of and/or denying the need for lifestyle change. You're pessimistic, especially about your ability to change or the real benefits of becoming more active and modifying your diet.
Contemplation: You're considering it. Weighing the costs, effort, treatment and time commitment, you mull over joining a fitness or weight-loss program in the near future. This stage is often characterized by ambivalence. You may remain in this stage for months or even years.
Preparation: You've made the first move. You've scheduled an appointment with a personal trainer, you've started to limit your consumption of junk food or you have joined a gym and are exercising periodically.
Action: You are changing your behavior. You're going to your yoga class, walking regularly, planning meals and/or keeping a diet record. Unfortunately, during the action stage, you are at greatest risk for relapse.
Maintenance: You've done it. You have successfully sustained lifestyle modification. You continue to actively utilize methods to monitor and control your behavior. You may even be avoiding situations that would increase the probability of slips and relapse.
Are you ready? If you are, but are unsure how to get started, consider contacting an ACE-certified Personal Trainer or joining a reputable fitness facility. For more information on how to find a personal trainer or get started on an exercise program, visit www.acefitness.org.

Nightmare Bacteria. Real? Hyped? Both?Mar 7, 2013 at 4:04 pm #1962856
HkNewmanBPL Member
@hknewmanLocale: Western US
Probably an attention seeking headline, but for decades, bacteria have been getting more drug-resistant due to evolution against misapplication of antibiotics; these resistant strains are now becoming a bit more widespread. Another reason to avoid hospitals… too many sick people.
Add west-nile virus last summer, and this past winter's flu , … just another thing to put up with until we get better medicines, health practices, and delivery systems. Though bad, remember cholera, plague, malaria, and the infamous Spanish flu of 1919 put down a lot of people until the science of the last 100+ years.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-18/flu-related-deaths-rise-above-epidemic-levels-in-the-u-s-.htmlMar 7, 2013 at 4:18 pm #1962867
The name is hype, but the phenomenon is real, and it is worrisome. The fact that this is happening with species of bacteria that are able to transfer their antibiotic resistance to other, related species is particularly bad.
Having worked in a hospital lab where cases of resistant bacteria have been identified in increasing numbers and varieties over the years, I can tell you that microbiologists are worried about the potential for disaster with these bacteria.Mar 8, 2013 at 1:30 pm #1963197
Jennifer MitolBPL Member
@jenmitolLocale: In my dreams....
There has been such an overuse of antibiotics in the world over the past 50 years, both in humans and prophylactically in farm animals. We know bacteria become resistant, and no one is really spending much time or money researching new drugs to fight these infections (not very sexy, not much payout).
Eventually we will have crazy amounts of antibiotic resistant bacteria out there – with literally no way to fight it. We truly will be just as we were before we discovered antibiotics…
As a student and during my first year of practice I spent a lot of time in hospitals…the numbers of patients with MRSA or VRE (both bacteria resistant to antibiotics) was jaw dropping. And to think there was only one medication that could help these folks. What happens when the bugs overcome that? We have no more defenses.
The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if a drug company or two really are working on this, then when all the known antibiotics are ineffective, they'll march it out and charge $10k a dose for it like they do cancer drugs.
But no, it is very real, and I don't think they can hype it enough because it really is a massive public health problem that big agriculture refuses to acknowledge.Mar 8, 2013 at 1:44 pm #1963201
Ben 2 WorldBPL Member
@ben2worldLocale: So Cal
I don't doubt the threat is real, but this has been going on for decades! Is there no medical / political leadership in arresting this deterioration?Mar 8, 2013 at 1:59 pm #1963206
I heard a bit of Science Friday on NPR today discussing this topic. One very salient point they made was that so much of modern medicine – advanced surgery, chemotherapy, intensive care medicine – is all predicated on the availability of effective antibiotics. Without antibiotics, none of those things can be successfully and safely done, and we are mostly back to medicine as it was practiced in the 1930's before the advent of antibiotics.
And research on developing new antibiotics is not very interesting to manufacturers; they are much more interested in developing drugs that you take for the rest of your life, rather than something you take for 7-14 days then stop, for obvious financial reasons. So not much money is being spent researching the next steps in antibiotic therapy, and when the current ones cease to be effective, we are truly up the proverbial bacteria-laden creek.
Apparently Israel had a serious problem with CRE and was able to institute protocols to decrease its incidence in all their hospitals. In a country like the USA where much of what happens in medicine is driven by the almighty dollar, I am not sure I have full confidence that we will do the same.Mar 8, 2013 at 2:18 pm #1963210
What, Ben, you mean have "big government" controlling our lives???? (sorry, I just couldn't help myself – I don't know how much of that attitude has actually kept us from having some nationwide political leadership and regulation on this).
I agree that we have been hearing CDC, NIH, AMA, and other government-run or professional organizations warning us on this issue for decades, but I don't think they necessarily have the clout to mandate anything at this point. I hope that the current "hype" will, if nothing else, put pressure on regulatory agencies (such as TJC) to require that stringent policies be put into place.
Much of what is done to counteract spread of resistant bacteria is done on a hospital by hospital basis in this country. I know that the public hospital I worked in for 32 years was very attuned to the issue of antibiotic resistance, and managed to dramatically reduce incidents of MRSA and VRE. But not all hospitals have either administration or staff on the cutting edge of awareness of things like this. And then there is what goes on outside hospitals: over-prescribing antibiotics for patients with viral infections, just to keep them happy (but no more healthy), feeding antibiotics to livestock to enable overcrowding and factory farming, widespread addition of antibacterials to items such as toothpaste, soap, etc., which are not really necessary for good health or safety. All of these things contribute to creating populations of bacteria that are resistant to the substances used.
I read this morning that China uses 10 times the amount of antibiotics per capita that the U.S. does; I'm sure many countries where prescriptions are not required may also abuse antibiotics. It's ultimately a global issue and not just a local one.Mar 8, 2013 at 2:46 pm #1963222
HkNewmanBPL Member
@hknewmanLocale: Western US
Additionally, there's another problem in poorer communities, such as on the border, in that the patient does not take all their prescribed antibiotics (saving them up for later to save money, doesn't like the side effects, and feeling better/doctor doesn't know what they are talking about).
Makes the problem worse since the normal strains of the bacteria were killed by the antibiotic but more resistant strains make it through and multiply (bonus: the competing susceptible bacteria are gone), …. even though the patient may "feel fine".Mar 8, 2013 at 4:51 pm #1963247
Jennifer MitolBPL Member
@jenmitolLocale: In my dreams....
It's not modern medicine…it's big ag. The huge farms that produce cows and pigs and whatnot for food pump their animals full of antibiotics to make them grow faster and to withstand all sorts of nasty bugs while they cram them all into massive feedlots.
The FDA continues to try to regulate this, but year after year they are stopped by the very powerful farm lobby. Yes, we've known about this for years but no one seems to be able to stand up to all that money and power. I read a statistic that more than 90% of all antibiotics consumed is on farm animals.
http://www.propublica.org/special/a-history-of-fda-inaction-on-animal-antibioticsMar 11, 2013 at 9:54 am #1964243
I agree; not sure if you thought that my comment about modern medicine being predicated on having effective antibiotics meant that it was somehow at fault (not my aim – just that if we render these antibiotics useless, we're back to 1930's medicine, since we can't really do major surgeries, chemo, intensive care medicine without them). Overuse/misuse of antibiotics in clinical settings does contribute to the incidence of resistant organisms, at least in those locations and probably to a lesser degree in the community at large, but I agree that the bulk of antibiotics used (and hence bacteria exposed/rendered resistant) is probably in agribusiness.Mar 13, 2013 at 6:59 pm #1965308

I listened to that NPR piece also
There are way more bacteria than cells in our bodies. They do useful things like extracting nutrition. They help immune system to work properly. Mostly they prevent bad bacteria.
Don't use those anti-bacterial soaps – they make things worse. If you kill all the bacteria on your skin, then there will be a void – opportunity for bad bacteria to get foot hold.
Quit worrying about bacteria
And if you fed cattle grass rather than corn, they wouldn't get sick all the time and require anti-biotics, plus the meat would be healthierMar 19, 2013 at 5:58 pm #1967615

Actually, here's one researcher that is a fantastic speaker, and may have an interesting insight to what may be the next step in "antibiotics".
P.S.–I'm not a doctor, but I am a veterinarian. I'm still a doctor, I'm just not a "real doctor". That means that I just play with the puppies and kitties all day, and spent 8+ years going to school to learn how! ;-)Mar 21, 2013 at 7:23 pm #1968389

>"P.S.–I'm not a doctor, but I am a veterinarian. I'm still a doctor, I'm just not a "real doctor"."
Veterinarians impress me. My wife deals with only one age group of one species of mammal and then only between their clavicle and their hips (Internist). Whereas you deal with the whole mammal, all mammals, from gestation to end-of-life. In clinical, in-patient, AND surgical settings. Plus the odd bird and reptile as well.
I play a game when I bring the dog in for shots, a check up, or surgery. I estimate what it would have cost for a human. And then I divide by 10. I'm usually pretty close in estimating the bill.
So not only are you tremendously versatile, you're also very cost effective.Mar 21, 2013 at 8:10 pm #1968405

"Makes the problem worse since the normal strains of the bacteria were killed by the antibiotic but more resistant strains make it through and multiply"
This is how you create resistant strains. By keeping individuals that have a bit of resistance alive, spreading them to the next one and starting all over again. Given enough time and a high enough mutation rate you will get new resistant strains over time. Works in the lab and in humans too.
As for the regulation: As far as I know there isn't much that can be done. Except not prescribing antibiotics in case of the common cold or other viral infections – a lot of patients here in Germany demand them though because medicine is good and evolution is hard. Not taking antibiotics isn't just a problem of poorer communities sadly. The biggest trouble comes from the fact that antibiotics have to be taken longer then the symptoms last in order to be effective (as in kill everything bad). So people start to forget taking them, think medicine is poison and should not be taken longer then the symptoms last, save them for later, etc.
And as far as I know about every hospital in the western world will have resistant strains of something and about the only thing you can do is prevent infection of patients – the strains that are resistent to *every* antibiotic are relatively new however, well, okay, maybe 10 to 15 years. You can also try to use other disinfection methods, but I bet bacteria will adapt to just about anything given enough time – except maybe to heat everything up to about 200° C.
EDIT: The TED talk is great. Thanks for the link.Mar 26, 2013 at 8:20 pm #1969951

Jennifer is entirely right, except that it is a combo of the farm lobby and Big Pharm which does the blocking. That doesn't help.
Big Pharm has given up developing antibiotics in favour of 'life-long' drugs. The costs of research are enormous, the costs of getting approval in the USA are unreal, and the cost of the insurance against all sorts of lawsuits is unpayable.
So who is going to do the R&D? The Republicans say 'industry', but industry has refused. Um …

I can draw in diamond shape and in the staggered shape, as described in most algorithms out there..Whats holding me up now is something I didnt find in any isometric article/topic out there, how do I draw characters/objects on it in a optimal way?
What Im doing now, as one can imagine, is traversing my grid/map ( its a 3d array) and drawing the tiles in a order so alpha blending works correctly.
Well, things are a lot easier when you just have a plane with objects on top of it, but since my grid is 3D, I cant see any other way than having to draw all my objects at the same time Im drawing the map, with screws the cuteness of the code..
I cant imagine a good way to do this, things that I can imagine is:
#1# give a list of objects(sprites and its positions) to the iso drawer, each loop iteration on the map drawing algo checks the position of all objects against the current tile on the grid....This is the most inefficient thing I ever imagined (for each tile on the map, check all the objects..)
#2# each time a object moves, insert it ON THE GRID, this is so ugly..screws everything, the isodrawer now will change a lot since now its not more a map drawer, its the entire game drawer (except the HUD)(well, this is true for #1# too)...Second problem with this approach is that objects can move freely, not per tile movement, so an object can occupy 2 tiles (be between 2 tiles), dont know how Id handle it.
#3# Forget the " iso drawer "map drawing algo" ", transform it onto a " "depth list" composer ", the list consist on [2D position, uv, Z(depth)] of all tiles on the map, then insert ..somehow..the objects on that list, then draw the list...I cant say for sure if this is feasible, youd have all tiles Z values, than you can compute all objects Z values, now totally independent, (the trick here would compute the Z of the objects considering its position on the map (i.e. object at floor 2, row 4, col 1 : Z = ? ) and the tiles Z too(giving top floors tiles higher Zs, etc.).......
Im using XNA spritebatch for doing this, I think (not sure, I just started using xna) that it can draw sorted by Z order for you, so I wouldnt need to sort the list.
Any links, tips or ideas are welcomed ;D
"why dont you do it 3D?" 3D is good for ultra realistic graphics, for simpler stuff it looks terrible, because 2D art is owsome and cant be compared with 3D, they are two different fields, not the evolution of the other, because I prefer it, because Im fan of isometric 2D for long, because programming iso stuff is tricky and is forcing my mind a lot.....IMO
Heres a screen shot of what I current have:

I am currently teaching English in South Korea in a newly established academy. I have now been here for six months along with my boyfriend, we were the only foreign teachers. Our director speaks American English and struggles to understand my British accent (despite hiring me after a telephone interview). Without addressing it directly she refuses to allow me to teach anything higher than elementary level one. Which means that I am always teaching the kindergarten classes. We now have two American teachers joining the academy and they appear to be getting some preferential treatment, upon asking her to review my classes now that there are more teachers she retorted that it would be too difficult for me.
Can anyone give me any ideas of what I should do?
I really wasn't prepared for my English speaking ability to be questioned, but I am very unhappy continuing this job now.


text: I realized this today but I dont remember hearing his name mentioned really at all. Usually this is a good thing when a CBs name isnt mentioned because it means theyre not getting abused, but I wasnt sure if it was that or he didnt play much. I know he was supposed to start and cover mostly the slot receiver and I saw him on the field a few times. I wondered if anyone noticed him more than I did and what your thoughts are on him good or bad?

Wonderful view of the eastern wing of the old Neersen castle with a nice park and with numerous decorative pieces from well known authors. This castle is public property of the city of Willich and the borough of Neersen. Festivals use to happen here in every summer.
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.

Of all the breakfast pastries in all the world, I would have to say almond croissants are my absolute favorite. True story!
The soft buttery folds of dough, the flaky crust that shatters with each bite, the nutty sweetness from the gooey decadent filling, the taste and fragrance of almond – I love everything about almond croissants. And a good almond croissant is so hard to find, why is that? So often the are either dry, chewy, too soft or too sweet. When they are bad they are really bad. But when they are done right there is nothing that can compare to the perfect almond croissant. It is probably all the butter that makes them oh so good and I'm okay with that.
Having recently learned how to make these gems from scratch and having baked them almost daily for a month I am an even bigger fan girl of almond croissants. Sure it takes an incredible amount of work. Sure my arms were bruised from rolling out the dough and then folding the dough and then rolling it again. But knowing the delicate and intricate process of making croissants made me appreciate them even more. While it is nice to have your favorite cafe to pick up a morning croissant from, it can be very satisfying to make them for yourself. So here is your chance. A complicated and maybe confusing recipe below, go ahead and give it a try. You will feel rewarded when you pull out those golden brown croissants from the oven and sit down with a cup of coffee and enjoy one hot and fresh from the oven!

Re: FAT FREE RECIPES
This is a really delicious recipe from Clare MacDonald's Seasonal Cookery:
1 medium or 2 small leeks per person, finely cut
1 portion firm white fish per person
1/4 inch root ginger per person, peeled and grated
freshly ground black pepper
Place half the leeks in the bottom of a steamer, place the fish on top, sprinkle on the ginger and black pepper, then cover with the rest of the leeks. Steam for 10 mins until the fish is cooked. Delicious served with rice (and you can steam this over the rice).

How about grilled vegetable sandwiches (peppers,portabello mushrooms, courgette(zucchni), baby vine tomatoes, garlic,drizzled with some balsamico and sprinkled with fresh basil leaves...served in ciabatta or french bread...you can prepare the vegetables then keep them in the fridge for quick sandwiches
fat free hummus (using non fat yoghurt instead of oil) served with pitta breads and a nice salad
chicken breast fillets cooked in a tomato sauce with onion, black olives,garlic, oregano and capers ....or use fish fillets, cooked the same way...serve with rice or couscous
potato salad with honey and mustard dressing (mix equal quantities of honey and mustard and mix with some fat free yoghurt and add a bit of balsamico if you like), add to potatoes with some sliced spring onions and chopped red peppers (roasted peppers taste even better)...would go well with grilled chicken.
risotto style dishes (without the butter),with vegetables or seafood added (peas, artichokes, prawns etc)

Re: FAT FREE RECIPES
Youcan try this recipe.... It's Low fat
Low-fat wild mushroom strudel:
For the cold herb sauce
125 ml bio low-fat plain yogurt
4 tbsp mixed herbs, chives, dill and chervil
0.5 tsp coarse grain mustard
1 tsp white wine vinegar
1 pinches black pepper
For the filling
1 tbsp sunflower oil
500 g wild mushrooms, cultivated and roughly chopped
1 tsp salt
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp thyme, chopped
For the pastry
4 large sheets filo pastry
6 tbsp breadcrumbs
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1. Set the oven to 200C/gas 6. 2. Mix all the ingredients for the herb sauce in a bowl and chill until needed to allow the flavours to develop. 3. Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan over a high flame and add the mushrooms and salt. 4. Fry the mushrooms briskly for 10 minutes, moving them around frequently, until they are soft and golden and the liquid has evaporated entirely. 5. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, thyme and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Cook for two minutes, until the garlic is soft and fragrant, and then remove from the heat. 6. Cool the mixture for a few minutes, then place in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. 7. Lay one sheet of filo pastry out on a clean, dry surface. Keep the remaining pastry well wrapped or covered with a slightly damp cloth to prevent it going dry and brittle. 8. Spray the olive oil lightly all over the pastry, then sprinkle about two tablespoons of the breadcrumbs evenly over the surface. 9. Add another layer of filo, and repeat with the oil and breadcrumbs until you finish with a layer of pastry. 10. Spray it again and then spread the mushroom mixture across one half of the width of the filo (not lengthwise), leaving a two centimetre border around the outside. 11. Fold over the long sides just to enclose the filling, then, starting with the filled end, roll up the pastry tightly. 12. Lay seam-side down on a baking sheet. Spray all over once more with oil. 13. Using a very sharp knife cut several diagonal slashes halfway through the pastry. 14. Bake the strudel for about 20 minutes, until golden and crisp.15. Slice into portions and serve with cold herb sauce.

This probably should start another thread, but I post here.
Probably will ruffle a few feathers.
And yes it is important to me, I have been thru this before.
Welcome to the realities of CA pollination, stuff happens. I do not take this as a causual remark, but a look at the reality of pollination in Feb. of each year. IT IS TOUGH and takes more work and knowledge than just owning a bee hive.
Please refer to all past threads on CA almond pollination and artcles in ABF by Randy Oliver "California Dreaming"
I, inaddition to my own 2000 hives also manage 1400 for beeks that are sick & tired of coming to ca for the winter. I have had good bees & bad bees, They all looked good when they left.
Most beeks have had bees fall apart, I have seen hives that made 160lbs of honey in april & May in ca only to be dead 45 days later, we have large & small operator in ca that continue to have losses that they can't explain.
Most good bees got rented this year, many friend were long on hives at start of pollination from 1,000 to a few hundred, all rented back filling hives that did not pass inspection, ( they looked good 2 weeks before delivery).
This is the reality of CA pollination
I hope this situation will get resolved equitably.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by det2atl, Jun 19, 2010.
Awesome comeback!
Wow, this is a helluva finish!
Yep 14-0 run to close it out with our two draftees getting the last two buckets..
14-0 run to close it out. Great job by the Pistons defensively. We finally got whistles in the clutch.
Nice 4Q for the kids. White looked efficient in the box score.
Awesome comeback. I have to go back and watch the game thru but Monroe looks promising and Summers, Daye and Jerebko are showing some good stuff. I am lukewarm on white.
Great comeback, monroe struggled a bit, but im sure he'll do better in the next couple games. Summers, White and JJ all did great but I was most impressed with Austin Daye.
I don't like his footwork. He's got heavy feet and runs a little like, gulp, Chuckie Villaneuava. I thought he did ok fighting for boards though. Now I'm not sure if he should play the 4 or 5. He is not athletic, but made some nice moves like a running hook he missed. I'm warming to Al Jefferson. Great win against the World Champs though. Daye's 1st hoop was sweet. I'd like to see if he can hit that in real games. He dribbles like a little kid. The only thing missing is him warding people off with his off arm. Despite winning back to back titles the Lakes seemed to have the 2 best rookies in Charachter and Bob Eubanks.
Here's a little Theecap: Daye may have lost weight since last year but he his more tan. He can shoot OK. JJ was picking up bad calls[taking charges] all nite but he stayed focused and got the dagger calls in the last 2 min. Summers heated up late with some big 3s. Laker scrubs were wearing out the Piston LVSL vets, Daye and JJ. They lead by 10 pt. from the second Q. til late in the 4th Q. They said Fritzpatrick was coaching. Any way Hayes gets the no free chili award when he horizontaled Jaaber going up. There's your thug. Turns out I was sitting behind Brent Barry all nite. T.White can dribble. I'll try and post some video. Tough nite for the other scrubs as we only 7 deep FAPP.
Thanks Thee. Missed the game but the numbers looked solid atleast. And wtf, Daye has lost weight and added a tan?!? That is some sweet priorities!
http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab166/theetfd/camdownload.jpg **** Yeah everybodies saying he's bulking up or something. Not.
Hope next game Monroe can deliver best numbers. I'm excited about White.. Does He look like a PG??? Someone tell me !! We need to have at least 1 PG in the roster.
OK which one of these lovely ladies is you??? Be sure to carry a sign with PF on it next time so we can find you on camera.
bmi is a terrible unit of measurement for athletes or weightlifters..
IMO White kinda blew as a PG but rocked as a 2. The guy can score, defend and distribute but I've seen better PG play from past summer league guys who never made the team. After watching 3 quarters, I was wondering if Summers would make the team this year cuz he kept getting stuffed and his footwork near the basket looked somewhat uncoordinated. But he made some good defensive plays and hit a lot of free throws and nailed some key shots. Daye was fun to watch except he reminded me of Prince when he stopped ball movement. He's got a lot more poise this time around and I hope we see solid improvement during the season. I enjoyed Brent Barry's commentary and insight into the game. Again our interior was shredded without reciprocation on the other end. I assume there will be one game where we abuse the other teams front line but this is an all too common thing.
Some game highlights are here: Pistons vs. Lakers - NBA Videos and Highlights There's also an interview with Daye on the same page.
He sounds like a nice kid. And he scored a very efficient 22 points.
Austin Daye looks like a little baby! Nice game from the Pistons. These kids are going to have to play hard if they want to win 35 games this year. Good luck, dudes.
This was on the link for the summer league clips: Ron Artest is crazy, and I'm starting to love the guy. They ask him about winning the championship, and his game, and he apologizes to the entire roster of the 2005 Indiana Pacers! Amazing. Pistons vs. Lakers - NBA Videos and Highlights
Could David Aldridge cram that mic any further into Austin's face? LOL! I liked what I saw out of Monroe, Summers and White actually. Summers got blocked a few times, but they instructed him to go tot he rack as much as possible. I'm sure he forced a few of those drives. I think he went 9 for 11 at the line as a result from all the contact. I'll take 9 free-bees and the other teams foul trouble any time. We need a good (bigger) penetrator, it'd be great if he could help out in that area. Monroe's footwork is terrific. I wouldn't say he's not athletic, he is. He's just not a leaper. His spin moves and foot speed are good. His intelligence and ability to doop defenders is excellent on top of that. He's the type of guy that could have a long career playing very effectively into his late 30s. Guys like JJ, who rely on athleticism, quickness, etc tend not to last as long. At first, I was a little bummed we didn't get a powerful dunker, but Cousins isn't that guy either. In fact, I think Monroe might end up the better player down the line. He's smarter and seems more mobile IMO. I'm looking forward to seeing Monroe and Cousins go at it on monday though for sure.
Separate names with a comma.

The act of, when heavily drinking (usually hard alcohol) and having a good time at night to, without warning, suddenly be in your bed the next morning, wondering how it was that you got there so fast, as though you had stepped through a time machine. Most likely to be accompanied by a drunk hookup in your bed the following morning.
