Hi there - new here! I spent some time searching through posts and didn't see anything that quite fit my problem, so I am going to post it here and hope that you can help me.
I started a hive in April with some Italian honey bees. They grew quite quickly and filled out about 70% of the deep brood box with comb, so (as per various advice online) I added an upper deep for pollen, nectar, and honey storage. However, this deep is filled about 60% with brood and absolutely no food, aside from a few rows on one or two of the frames. It's about 46 degrees out and Fall is definitely here. It appears as though they kicked the drones out (bodies around the entrance), so things seem right, but they are facing a cold Fall and Winter without food! They spent the whole summer rearing brood and foraging for day-to-day survival. I am not sure if they ran out or time or if something is wrong, but they will not last in their current situation.
How do I help my girls survive the winter? I went into emergency mode and mixed them a 2:1 syrup and spiked it with some Honey-B-Healthy as a stimulant. I put that in their hive-top feeder yesterday and they were very interested. Do I keep doing this all winter? I imagine that their heat will keep it thawed and we can be very quick about refilling it, so their exposure will be minimal, but I worry about their health. I've been hearing about various bee cakes or patties to make with pollen, but I haven't found a reputable recipe or a scenario that will apply to my need for Winter-long feeding.
Do you have a recipe for me? If so, how often should I add a cake? Should I keep the syrup too? Does the cake go on top of the frames and under the hive-top feeder? Are there other supplements they will need since they are not getting their own honey? How do I save my girls?

I had Russians as well. They are a funny bees to me. Hard to re queen. Want to make their own. Been discussed before. I had a couple of Russian hives that were "mixed" with local that re queened themselves. I finally let them have their way. I think the stock was good and they contributed to the overall gene pool. The two I have left are quit the mix of dark and light bees. It actually seems to fluctuate. More light bees in the summer and more dark bees now. Just speculation. I guess my point is the Russians(any strain ?) seem to get assimilated and perhaps exhibit a collective collage of the genes in the area unless pure strain is put back in. Just thinking out loud.
Interesting study that seems to fit into this discussion.

The moment Neil Armstrong took his first airplane ride at age 6, he knew he wanted to fly higher than the sky. About thirty years later, Armstrong got his wish. On July 20, 1969, he became the first man to walk on the moon.
Now, more than forty years after that memorable landing, the world says a fond farewell to the man who made space history. On Friday, August 25, Armstrong died at the age of 82.
Beginnings on Earth
As a kid, Armstrong was fascinated with aviation and built model airplanes to conduct flying experiments. Once he was old enough, he began taking flying lessons. He was licensed to fly before he could even drive.
Armstrong began college as an aeronautical engineering student. After flying combat missions in the Korean War, he received his degree and became a test pilot. Armstrong then went on to NASA's astronaut training program. He flew more than 200 kinds of aircrafts.
Out of This World
The Apollo 11 mission was the most remarkable flight of all. Three NASA astronauts manned the mission: Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins. The trip from Earth to the moon took four days. A special lunar module, nicknamed Eagle, carried Armstrong to and from the moon while the others remained in lunar orbit. It took Armstrong longer than expected to find a level place to land. Once he did, Armstrong spoke his now famous words: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Thousands of miles below, on Earth, an estimated 600 million people were listening. Glued to their televisions and radios, people were in awe of what they had just witnessed. Armstrong had done what no man had done before. His footprint will remain forever on the moon as a tribute to his remarkable life and the "giant leap for mankind."

Bottle to POU Conversion Kit - Nautica Square Series
Description & Highlights
Oasis Bottle to POU Conversion Kit - Nautica Square Series
This Oasis (502097) kit converts all Nautica Series bottle water (B1SR) models to the newer, more efficient point-of-use (POU1SR) models. Unlike bottle coolers, point of use coolers allow water to flow into the unit's reservoir until full, providing a continuous source of water without bottle storage or spilled water. The dual float system prevents overflowing and indicates if a float problem occurs.
The kit includes float system and lid assembly, an inlet strainer, and a cabinet cover to fit square cooler units. The POU method of dispensing water from existing water lines eliminates the hassle of changing heavy bottles and the waste of throwing millions of them away every year.Compatibility: For use with Nautica Series B1SRHS (Hot 'N Cold) and B1SRK (Cook 'N Cold) units.

Little Falls shooting: Teens' killing suspect worked on embassy buildings
LITTLE FALLS, Minn. (AP) — A Little Falls man charged with murdering two teenagers who apparently broke into his home on Thanksgiving Day had a job that involved overseeing technical security issues for U.S. embassies.
Byron Smith was a security engineer for the U.S. Department of State. He retired six years ago.
Retired State Department political officer William Davnie tells Minnesota Public Radio News (http://bit.ly/QrcPkp) that security engineers oversee construction and repair work for U.S. embassy buildings and consulates. They do not patrol grounds like security officers, but instead focus on technical issues such as building layout and alarms.
Davnie says security engineers are "security conscious" people, and work to protect buildings so spies and terrorists cannot break in.
Smith, 64, is charged with killing 18-year-old Haile Kifer and her cousin, 17-year-old Nicholas Brady.

I've said it before I'll keep saying it.....the Giants keep making the same stupid mistake by marginalizing Blackburn!
How do you let the only decent LB we have go,when there is no one to replace him... especially after he led the team in tackles last year???
Reese may have all the leverage, what he doesn't have is another LBer as productive and consistent as Blackburn!
Maybe we will get a MLB who doesn't have cement in his shoes this year.

I love neem. I learned about neem about a month ago and had to try it. It has so many different uses. I have used it for bug bites,pimples,rashes,canker sores,bug repellent for my tomatoes, and there are so many more uses. For canker sores put in about 3 or 4 drops in water and use as a mouth wash. it makes the pain go away so it makes you feel like you dont even have one! great on inflamed pimples get a qtip get it wet and put a drop of neem on it and your pimple wont hurt anymore. I think everyone should have some neem in there house.
Great Product!

This is a great product for anyone suffering from psoriasis. It can be a bit pricey if you have a large amount of skin to cover. I ran out of this in about 4 days. I took 5 drops orally 3 times daily and also used as a topical a couple times a day. The results were amazing!! My psoriasis was almost completely gone withing a few days. I would suggest buying more than one bottle to start with.

I was having problems with my skin... lots of cysts, acne, etc. I am 30 years old, and I am assuming it was due to hormones mostly. I started taking Neem extract in water and the break outs decreased dramatically over about a 3 week period. You just have to find the right amount to take daily that works for you and keeps you clean and clear. This is much easier than capsules.
Highly effective for multiple uses!

Woman arrested after stabbing incident
A 42-year-old Brainerd woman was arrested Thursday, Jan. 17, for allegedly stabbing a 24-year-old Nisswa man in the abdomen with a paring knife, Nisswa Police Chief Craig Taylor said.
It was reported that the woman allegedly stabbed Wayne Compton at his residence on Church Street in Nisswa, and then fled the scene. She was captured shortly after on a county road in Merrifield.
Taylor said both the woman and the man were taken to Essentia Health-St. Joseph's Medical Center in Brainerd to be treated for non-life threatening injuries. Taylor said officials are investigating how the woman was injured.
Taylor said charges of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon are pending against the Brainerd woman.
The Crow Wing County Sheriff's Department and the Pequot Lakes, Breezy Point and Lake Shore police departments assisted Nisswa police with the incident.

As a second year beekeeper I am interested in trying my hand at some small scale queen rearing. I started with 3 hives last year and expanded to 11 with overwintering nucs. I lost one to absconding and the other to a poor queen. So far my girls are all doing fine and it is pretty chilly here in CT. We are looking at 8 degrees tonight and it doesn't look like the mercury will top 20 for the foreseeable future. Can anyone suggest some good reference material? I have searched the internet as any good 21st century beekeeper would do but I would like a good page turner. Something I can curl up with before bed while the wind howls outside my bedroom window. :-)
Thanks for the help!

Now that it appears as if spring is here to stay in New York City, I'm excited to change up my daily wardrobe. I shaved the beard I had been sporting all winter, broke out a brightly colored shirt to wear to work and am just looking to generally lightening things up – including my daily fragrance. Wearing a fragrance daily is just as essential to me as is wearing a fresh pair of knickers! However, one can't wear just any fragrance any time. Just like you wouldn't wear a wool blazer in the middle of July, you also wouldn't wear a fragrance with notes such as sandalwood or black pepper.
Spring is an optimistic time. The days are longer, flowers are blooming and as such, your fragrance should feel equally as bright, fresh and uplifting. For me, one go to fragrance from early spring through mid-September is the Lime Tonic by M+G – a crisp and clean scent that feels appropriate to wear no matter how high the temperature goes or whether you find yourself partying on a roof top in the city or hanging with friends at the beach.
The real beauty of the Lime Tonic and every other fragrance by M+G is that while each is distinctly beautiful on it's own, they can be paired together to create a uniquely dynamic personal fragrance. For day time I love pairing the Lime + Petigrain Tonics; a bright, succulent blend of citrus, woodsy and green notes. When the sun goes down and it's time to really play, I want a warmer more sensual scent, but never anything that's going to be cloying or overwhelming. For this, I take the warm and sexy Rum Tonic and lighten it up with a light spritz of Lime Tonic; all coming together to create a truly unique fragrance that definitely draws people closer to figure out just what you are wearing.
Experiment with different blends and see what feels the most authentic and you. The point is to have fun with it!

The widespread implementation of childhood vaccination programs has substantially reduced the occurrence of many vaccine-preventable diseases. However, adults may be at risk for these diseases and their complications if they escaped natural infection or have not been vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella (chicken pox) and poliomyelitis.
Other vaccine-preventable diseases (hepatitis B, rabies, influenza, and pneumococcal disease) may pose a risk to persons in certain age, occupational, environmental, and life-style groups and those with special health problems.
A systematic approach to vaccination is necessary to ensure that every adult is appropriately protected against vaccine-preventable diseases. Every visit by an adult to a healthcare provider should be an opportunity to review and update immunization status. Healthcare providers and individuals should maintain detailed records about each person's vaccination history.

Vaccinations against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, poliomyelitis, and Haemophilus influenzae type b meningitis and invasive disease are routinely administered in the United States, usually in childhood. Routine vaccination against hepatitis B virus infection also is now recommended for all infants beginning either at birth or at two months of age.
If persons do not have a history of adequate protection against these diseases, immunizations appropriate to their age and previous immunization status should be obtained, whether or not international travel is planned (CDC).
Other relevant travel documentation includes requirements for use of a new International Certificate of Vaccination or prophylaxis for Yellow Fever vaccine and a waiver letter from a physician for Yellow Fever.For additional information for international travel, visits these sites:

In about January each winter, a number of hive entrances become completely clogged with hundreds of dead bees.
And often at the same time, bees are flying even though the weather is freezing or 'just' above freezing- sometimes on dark cloudy days. Not normal cleansing flights. Usually one bee at a time.
Generally these hives will die before spring.
They have sufficient weight, plenty of honey leftover in spring to start a new hive off.
Any guesses as to what disease I should be researching?
The bee inspector looked at one dead hive last year and called it winter kill, however I'd like to find out exactly what is winter killing them. Thanks!

My friends' neighbour cycled past me as I unloaded the car, he did a u-turn on his retro bike and stopped in front of the rental vehicle I'd picked up at Los Angeles airport three days earlier.
"That the new Ford hybrid?" he asked. "What miles to the gallon are you getting?"
"Er, I'm from New Zealand - we do kilometres per litre there," I explained. "But I tell you what, it hasn't cost me a cent in fuel driving it around Los Angeles."
Having booked Avis' cheapest rental car, I had expected a small hatchback - and having signed the agreement that I would return the vehicle full of fuel, I had budgeted for petrol money for my LA holiday.
Instead, I was given Ford's new C-Max hybrid, which delighted me as not only did I have more money to spend but I also could test a car that wasn't available in New Zealand.
On a Ford Focus platform, the C-Max is known as a people mover in Europe, but Ford US added it to its fleet and popped in a hybrid engine so it could take on Toyota's Prius stateside.
Ford New Zealand had looked at it but decided the compact SUV Kuga fitted in that segment.
Ford US launched the C-Max hybrid in September and has just released the plug-in C-Max Energi, which has a larger battery pack for more electric-only driving. The C-Max hybrid uses a 2-litre petrol engine combined with a 1.6-kWh lithium-ion pack under the cargo area floor. This battery allows the car to drive 100km at a top speed of 136km/h using only the electric engine.
My rental was also the top spec SEL with leather, keyless start, active parking, rear camera and the MyFord Touch system. In the showroom it sold for US$28,995 ($35,767), placing it between the base Prius and Prius V in America.
What my rental did lack was built-in satnav - essential to navigating LA's vast roading system.
Having driven in LA and elsewhere in California before without electronic help, I borrowed the Go Live 150 world satnav system from TomTom NZ. This showed me the speed limit, which varies frequently on LA's freeways, and my car's speed. It also gave me plenty of warning of off-ramps - invaluable when you must negotiate eight lanes.
The trick to LA driving is to be confident, stick to the middle lane on LA's three lanes-wide city roads, and always tick the top insurance box for your rental.
I'd also driven Toyota/Lexus and Honda hybrids and I know the economy of these vehicles. So I was surprised by the thriftiness of the C-Max.
The first three days were spent driving in inner LA - including the famed Hollywood and Sunset Blvds - and my petrol gauge didn't move because the electric engine did all the work.
Heading out of LA to visit my friends with the bike-riding neighbour in Orange County's Laguna Niguel, and on to the freeway, the petrol engine took over and, despite the C-Max being a heavy car, it sat easily on 110km/h and had the power to overtake when needed.
With only 321km on the odo, it was hard to judge the C-Max fairly as automatic transmission was still adjusting to sudden acceleration when I was taking off from traffic lights and planting my foot on the freeway.
It was also small enough (thanks to the Focus platform) to sit in mall parking spaces, and the boot coped with my suitcases on the trip to LAX for my flight home.
Oh, and to answer the bike-riding neighbour, the C-Max hybrid did 47 miles per gallon.

I remember when Kindle played at Texas and of course his unfortunate injury in his rookie preseason. Correct me if Im wrong fellas, he was a DE in college, right? The Ravens drafted him and planned on putting him at the OLB position in their 3-4 scheme.
Maybe I am confusing him with someone else. But if he did play end in college, maybe he can bulk up a little and get some work at DE for us?

How To Survive A Nuclear Event
In this article, I will examine some of the disaster situations commonly given doom status. With a little insight and research, we can prepare to overcome such seemingly intractable calamities.
First, we must recognize the very real threat of a nuclear-related incident on American soil. Though the immediate dangers of the Cold War appear to have subsided and though globalists seem to be more interested in keeping most of the world intact for themselves rather than ruling over a radioactive dust heap, I suspect that we will within our lifetimes see at the very least a limited thermonuclear event. Beyond the predictable scenario of false flag, the United States is growing increasingly at odds with known nuclear powers, including Russia, China and North Korea. Just last week, Russian officials openly indicated they have no qualms over the use of nukes in response to a conventional threat.
We've all seen movies and read books of nuclear holocaust, and the utter despair it could conceivably initiate. Of course, nuclear attack should not be underestimated — far from it. However, rarely in these films or fictional accounts do you see characters who prepared beforehand, who had readied themselves physically and psychologically for the aftermath. This is a symptom of the common assumption that one "cannot survive" nuclear attack and that, even if he did, he would be better off dead. I tend to disagree, and so do the U.S. Army and the Russian military, which have undergone extensive planning and written detailed manuals for soldiers on nuclear survival.
With the correct mindset and the right knowledge, any catastrophe is survivable, including "the bomb." Futility arises only when a man decides for himself that he is not capable. To endure, one must make himself a master of his circumstances, rather than a slave to them. This concept is at the heart of all survival.

Black Blade: Fairly good article. Probably won't be necessary to put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye - if you prep and know what to dao after a nuclear exchange.

Breaking: Obama administration to loosen deportation rules
posted at 10:44 am on June 15, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
So, the "framing" economic speech yesterday was a bust — yeah, they're going to need us to move away from that ol' chestnut pretty quickly — so here comes the next big talking point in the Obama-campaign wheelhouse.
President Obama has decided that the Homeland Security Department will no longer deport younger illegal immigrants who haven't broken the law, and will instead issue them work permits.
The Obama administration will stop deporting and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and have since led law-abiding lives. The election-year initiative addresses a top priority of an influential Latino electorate that has been vocal in its opposition to administration deportation policies.
The policy change, described to The Associated Press by two senior administration officials, will affect as many as 800,000 immigrants who have lived in fear of deportation. It also bypasses Congress and partially achieves the goals of the so-called DREAM Act, a long-sought but never enacted plan to establish a path toward citizenship for young people who came to the United States illegally but who have attended college or served in the military.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was to announce the new policy Friday, one week before President Barack Obama plans to address the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials' annual conference in Orlando, Fla. Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney is scheduled to speak to the group on Thursday.
Updates to follow…
Update: At least as far as the Latino community is concerned (and opinion abounds on the electoral significance of Latinos as a voting group, and whether they really vote so monolithically), this is going to present a stiff challenge for Romney's campaign. As ABC points out:
The Obama administration is likely to deny that politics played a role in the announcement, but the timing is ideal for the president's reelection campaign. In the GOP primary, Mitt Romney adopted strictly conservative positions against illegal immigration in his effort to woo right-wing voters. He backs a strong fence along the border with Mexico, opposes most amnesty and boasts of his move as Massachusetts governor to deny in-state tuition for illegal immigrants. …
Obama's announcement today is likely to curry favor with Hispanics, a key growing voting bloc who could determine the winner in November in important states like Florida, Colorado and Nevada. The president currently beats Romney among Hispanics in polls, but most Latinos say they disapprove of his deportation policy.
Deportation rates under President Obama have actually been relatively high — a point about which many Latino voters and immigration advocates have been displeased. This could be a crucial appeasement-move that will inspire Latinos to get to polls in November.
Can President Obama even do this without Congressional approval? I'm not sure, but then again, it hardly matters. If he can, great; if he can't, great: It's just another jab he can aim at an "obstructionist," "do-nothing" Congress.
Update (Ed): So …. he's going to hand out hundreds of thousands of work permits when unemployment is at 8.2% nominal, 14.8% U-6, and the civilian participation rate is near the 30-year low Obama set last month (now 63.8%)? The only thing this accomplishes is driving the labor rate further downward and the unemployment rate further upward. Work permits make sense when you're creating jobs, but not when jobs are scarce. I'm not sure that's going to endear Obama to unions and blue-collar voters struggling to find work already.
Update (back to Erika): A calculated move to steal some of Sen. Marco Rubio's alternative-DREAM-Act thunder? It's widely known that Sen. Rubio has been crafting legislation that would give visas to undocumented immigrants who were brought here as children if they attend college or join the military, though it would not provide legal permanent residency — and President Obama's plan sounds pretty darn similar. Plenty of Republicans aren't exactly thanking Rubio for his upcoming proposal, but as a tea-party rockstar with Hispanic roots, Rubio is a major threat to Democrats' claim that they're the best political party for Latinos' interests. Team Obama definitely needed to get out in front on this one.
Update: Here are some immediate reactions from our Congresspeople concerning the Obama campaign's — er, sorry, I mean, the White House's — newest immigration policy.
Rep. Allen West, R-Florida
"This is yet another example of executive branch overreach. We have a legislative process that ensures representative governance by the consent of the American people. This action should be crafted into legislation, debated in committee and brought before the House and Senate for vote, with accordance of our Constitutional Republic way. Secretary Napolitano is an unelected administrative bureaucrat who does not have the right to make governing decisions for this country. It is apparent that the goal of the Obama administration is not to govern, but rule by edict. This again is a reflection of the desperation of President Obama and his liberal progressive disciples as November draws nearer. …
Sen. Robert Menendez, D-New Jersey
"For all the young people who call this country their home but have been unable to fulfill their dreams, I am profoundly grateful to the President and the Administration for suspending the deportation of Dreamers. For these young men and women who want to become doctors, teachers, police officers and soldiers, this announcement will change their lives forever."
Update: Let Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano be clear: This is not to be confused with amnesty.
"A grant of deferred action is not immunity, it is not amnesty," Napolitano told reporters. "It is an exercise of discretion."
Update: Sen. Rubio responded by saying that the content of Obama's proposal is "welcome news," but was quick to decry the manner of it:
"Today's announcement will be welcome news for many of these kids desperate for an answer, but it is a short term answer to a long term problem," the Cuban American Rubio said in a statement. "And by once again ignoring the Constitution and going around Congress, this short term policy will make it harder to find a balanced and responsible long term one."

Forecast Prices (U.S. Monthly Average)
Previous slide
Back to first slide
View graphic version
Prices have already recovered from the spike, but are expected to remain elevated over year-ago levels because of the higher crude oil prices.
There is a lot of uncertainty in the market as to where crude oil prices will be next winter, but our current forecast has them declining about $2.50 per barrel (6 cents per gallon) from today's levels by next October.
U.S. average residential heating oil prices peaked at almost $1.50 as a result of the problems in the Northeast this past winter. The current forecast has them peaking at $1.08 next winter, but we will be revisiting the outlook in more detail next fall and presenting our findings at the annual Winter Fuels Conference.
Similarly, diesel prices are also expected to fall. The current outlook projects retail diesel prices dropping about 14 cents per gallon from their U.S. March average of $1.49 per gallon to about $1.35 by the middle of summer. They are not expected to drop much further by the end of the year under the base case crude price scenario.

Parental Guidance, in theatres December 25, shows why family members don't always make the best babysitters. Grandparents Artie and Diane Decker, played by Billy Crystal and Bette Midler, hit some modern-day problems when they take care of their three grandkids for a weekend. Actor Joshua Rush, 10, talks to TFK about his role in the family film.
You star in the new movie Parental Guidance, opening Christmas Day. How was working on the movie?
It was a lot of fun. I got to work with so many big [actors], and it was really amazing.
In the movie, you play the eight-year-old grandson, Tuner. What is your character like?
Turner is a really, really cool kid. He has a lot of interests. He likes science. He likes baseball—he's a pitcher. But he is sort-of hidden behind his stutter. The movie is about getting out of your comfort zone and doing things that you never thought that you could do before. I think Turner really shows that.
Are you similar to your character or are you two very different?
My character loves science, and I love science too. He's bullied in the movie and I have been bullied in the past a couple of times.
For our kid readers who are about the same age as you, what advice would you give to them about being bullied?
Don't let the bullies shape you. Tell a teacher or tell someone that you trust. An adult will make it better for you.
In the movie, Billy Crystal and Bette Midler play your funny, upbeat grandparents, and you got to work with them on and off-set. Do you think you would like having them as your grandparents in real life?
They would be a pretty funny set of grandparents! We did all sorts of crazy things. I played catch with Billy to prepare for the pitching scene. In fact, for one scene, it was the middle of winter at night, and we had to shoot a scene where we were out of breath. To keep us warm and out of breath, we had a little bit of a dance routine that we were doing. It was pretty funny because Andy [the director] said "Action," and we were so deep into it, we didn't even hear him. Now, they have [the dance] on film for us.
Did any other silly stuff happen on set?
[Billy Crystal and I] called each other the "original cast members" because we were both in a table-read for this movie in about 2007. So, we have known each other ever since then. When I got the part, he was pretty much like an old friend to me.
What was your favorite part of working on the movie?
There were so many fun scenes to shoot. There was one scene where it was the first time that me and my little brother, Barker [Kyle Harrison Breitkopf], had ice cream cake. Billy's character left us alone for just a little second and we went crazy with the cake! We did some kitchen remodeling with icing. We were covered head to toe with icing. Andy, the director, kept telling me to stop licking the icing off my face and my fingers. It was really, really fun.
What was the hardest part of filming?
My character didn't have tons of lines because of his speech [impediment]. But, it was a real challenge for me because my character goes through a lot with bullies and it's hard to portray that without really saying anything. So, that was a challenge for me.
Do you think TFK readers would enjoy this film?
I think they would love this film. It's a family film for everybody. Kids and grown-ups are going to love it. It's really, really funny.
Do you think you want to continue being an actor? Or, do you have a different dream for when you grow up?
I love acting, and I want to keep doing that, but I [also] love science. Acting is helping me gather up the funds to get my own laboratory. That's the dream. I would like to be the next Steve Jobs [founder of Apple].

Someone who you would think has tourettes syndrome due solely to the inordinate amount of profanity that comes from their mouth. In reality they are just one of those people whose vocabulary consists of 80% profanity in the form of verbs, nouns, adverbs, and adjectives. The other 20% consists of personal pronouns. The oddity of this type of person is in the sole fact that they are not angry when they curse, it is just part of their day to day speech.

A dreary year in Michigan? And what have you been smoking?
Here's a look at the top Michigan stories in 2013.
Remember that innocent era of 2012, when you heard the word "fracking" for the first time and thought someone was trying to curse you out in hip-hop?
And who can forget "lip dub"? Remember?
Back to hydraulic fracturing, as fracking is called in more polite society. We're still waiting. Perhaps there will be more to report before the shock value of shouting "fracking" in a quiet room dissipates.
One thing is evident in combing through some of last year's stories from Crain's Michigan Business: Juxtaposition can be good for the sense of humor. And so about the time you've written one more story about the low water levels of the Great Lakes, you can move on to Michigan's budding marijuana industry and the owner of the Grand Rapids Howard Johnson who has no qualms about marketing his inn as a sort of hemp hotel.
Which, come to think of it, dovetails nicely into the report that the erstwhile Furniture City is a snack food center. Coincidence?
And we can only imagine how a nascent drone industry factors into all of this.
So, what was the most clicked-on Michigan story? By far, it was November's Crain's Michigan tale of the man who wanted to bring new life to Deer Forest, the petting zoo that was iconic back in the days when people wrote "wildly popular" instead of "iconic." And no, nothing at all about this story is cheeky.
Last year, we thought Dow Powerhouse solar shingles were an intriguing product. Keeping with the energy efficiency theme, we are similarly curious about what will come from the 12-home subdivision in Midland that's designed to tell builders how construction and materials can influence energy use.
What should we expect in 2014? We want to say fracking just because we never tire of the word. But we will point out that it's an election year.

The word "prehistoric" makes it sound like nothing happened until some bureaucrat started up an archive. So when I heard the words "prehistoric rock art", images of dim, club-wielding, shaggy cave men and women used to spring to mind, as if drawn there by Gary Larson.
Until, that is, I went to Auckland Museum last Sunday evening to hear Professor Jean Clottes, a tall French archaeologist with a balding pate and a name out of Tintin, give a lecture about the wondrous, spiritually significant art of the Chauvet Cave. Forget Paris - I reckon these drawings of animals are the artistic highwater mark of Prof Clottes' noble nation.
Drawn using sophisticated chiaroscuro shading and perspective, the works are 34,000 years old - give or take 5,000 years - and Clottes explained cheerfully how his own estimation of the art's age was out by 12,000 to 15,000 years because the art was just so damn good - better than more recent examples. Discovered in 1994, the cave upset notions of art's steady progress.
As Clottes said, it turns out art had its heydays and its decadences - its ups and downs - before art history was invented.
Both the similarities and contrasts with modern art were fascinating. The Chauvet artists prepared their surfaces - scraping them to reveal white underneath - before drawing. Clottes' theory is that this wasn't (just) to make it easier to draw, but to "destroy the magic of the bear" - bears being earlier inhabitants of the cave, who had also scratched the walls. He thinks red handprints were as much about pulling magic from the walls as about leaving "I wuz here" marks. Like Jackson Pollock, the Chauvet artists may have seen art practice as well as products as meaningful.
Thus Prof Clottes kicked the caveman-as-cretin cartoon to the kerb - and upstaged Werner Herzog to boot.
This last is also impressive, as you'll know if you've seen the darkly romantic German film-maker's documentary Grizzly Man, or heard the spoof-Herzog reading Where's Waldo? on YouTube. And Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams - shown after Prof Clottes' talk - includes exceptionally rare footage of Chauvet (where no non-scholarly visitors are allowed). The drawn mammoths, lions, bears and woolly rhinos seem to move in the firelight, as the artists most likely intended.
But where Herzog (in his film) simply told us "we are locked in history and they [the artists] are not", Prof Clottes cracked open that myth with his juicy details and theories.
The evening held one more tantalising surprise. Ngai Tahu anthropologist Gerard O'Regan gave us a whistle-stop tour of 700-odd years of stunning Maori rock art. He showed us urgent waka, intriguing taniwha, people with moko and dogs - and a detailed European sailing ship captioned in te reo in "missionary-taught script" (another myth broken: not all cave art is "prehistoric"). It's a travesty that we don't know about, let alone celebrate, this heritage. Forgive me, but just this once, we should learn from the French.

by Dan Undersander
The author is an extension forage agronomist, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
More than 60 percent of the United States has been affected by drought. In many of these water-deprived states, forage is needed for dairy herds. Good management of moisture-stressed forages can optimize production under dry conditions and will enhance forage stand quality and life.
Alfalfa and other legumes respond similarly, though alfalfa will be one of the most drought tolerant in the group. Moisture stress in the first 14 days after a harvest reduces the number of basal buds and the number of stems per plant, as well. These first two weeks of drought stress have the greatest effect on yield. Even if rain occurs later in the growth period, yield will be greatly diminished.
Cell enlargement is inhibited during a drought. This is the reason that stem internode length is reduced; thus, the plant is stunted and flowering occurs at reduced plant height. Leaf size and leaf growth rate are reduced, although to a lesser degree than stem growth. Therefore, leaf percentage goes up under moisture stress.
The higher leaf ratio means that NDF generally drops, though effect varies with severity and timing of moisture stress. Stem nitrogen percentage moves upward while leaf nitrogen percentage drops, therefore whole plant nitrogen (CP) may be reduced, though effect varies with severity/timing of moisture stress.
Thus, drought tends to give reduced tonnage of forage that is higher in quality and we often see milk production improve in dairy herds.
What can be done
The recommendations for managing drought-stress alfalfa are:
1. If stand is over 10 inches tall and flowering, harvest if it is economic to do so.
a. Since quality is not declining as rapidly with advancing maturity in drought-stressed alfalfa, let the plants approach 100 percent bloom before harvest to allow the plant to build nonstructural carbohydrate reserves. In a perfect world, we would want to cut just before a rain so that regrowth can take full advantage of the moisture, but weather is difficult to predict.
b. Moisture-stressed alfalfa should be mowed at the normal cutting height. There is no advantage to raising the cutting height as it will simply reduce harvested yield. Alfalfa regrowth from axillary buds higher up on the stubble are smaller and produce less yield than stems growing from the crown buds.
2. If stand is 10 inches or less tall and flowering, do not cut. Let regrowth come through existing growth. Mowing will not enhance regrowth but adds labor and fuel costs and increases wheel traffic damage.
3. Make sure that soil fertility is at optimum levels. The alfalfa will not regrow and yield as well when it rains if a nutrient is deficient.
4. Scout and control potato leaf hopper, army worm and other insects. These insects can damage young shoots that would provide yield when moisture stress is reduced.
5. Drought-stressed new seedings should not be harvested during the season but may be harvested in late August if adequate growth is present to harvest. A late-fall cutting may also be taken. The key is to time harvests so that alfalfa either has no regrowth or more than 8 inches of regrowth at frost.
Moisture stress affects grasses similarly to alfalfa except that, if stems are present, forage quality of grasses may be lowered by stress rather than improved. Most grassy fields and pastures are stunted but are leafy and have few stems. Recommendations are:
1. Harvest or graze if tonnage justifies and/or height is over 8 to 10 inches. Leaves that have turned yellow will not grow and should be removed to make way for new leaf growth.
2. Apply 40 pounds per acre of nitrogen to stimulate fall growth if rain occurs before mid-August. This cannot be manure since nutrients will become available too slowly to provide optimum fall growth.
Tasseling is a barometer
Many cornfields are stunted, some have significant firing. However, further growth will occur if moisture stress is relieved prior to tasseling. Further, plants are too wet to ensile and will have nitrate toxicity if yield is greatly reduced.
To preserve the greatest amount of high-quality forage, take the following steps:
1. Wait until tasseling to make a decision on whether to chop. Quality will be high but moisture may be too high for good ensiling. If moisture is above 70 percent, consider putting in a silo bag or baling and wrapping to reduce seepage losses.
2. If making silage or grazing, consider potential for nitrate toxicity. This is especially likely to be a problem if growth was reduced to less than 50 percent of normal and/or high levels of nitrogen were applied as fertilizer. Samples taken for nitrate tests must be frozen or analyzed immediately as nitrates will decline in tissue three to four hours after cutting. If above toxic levels, feed hay or some other forage in the morning and feed a small amount of corn silage or graze corn a couple hours in the afternoon.
What are some alternatives?
Late-summer seedings can supplement forage production following wheat harvest or early corn harvest. Consider planting sorghum-sudangrass, sudangrass or millet if you can expect at least eight weeks of above 80° temperatures. These grasses produce good tonnage under high temperatures but are warm season grasses and do not produce much tonnage when temperatures are cool.
If planting sorghum-sudangrass or sudangrass, we recommend a brown midrib type because quality is higher, yield drag is minimal compared to standard lines and standability is good through harvest. These forages should generally be harvested at about 32 inches for dairy quality forage or 36 inches for heifers and steers.
For most of the northern states, the best option is to wait until after August 1, and then consider planting oats with or without peas.
Oats, planted the first week of August can be expected to produce 2.5 to 3 tons per acre dry matter in an average year. Other small grains will generally produce about half as much since they do not put out a stem. Adding 20 pounds per acre of peas to the oats will enhance palatability but will not affect yield.
Wayne Coblentz from the USDA Dairy Forage Research Center found that a late-maturing forage cultivar (ForagePlus) produced maximum annual yields because the forage cultivar matured slowly and was better able to respond to sometimes erratic late-summer precipitation. Forage types mature later and produce more tonnage of quality forage. If seed from a forage type is not available, plant a late-maturing oat variety. If planting after the first week of August, a forage-type oat will provide less advantage and grain-type cultivars may be a better choice.
The fall-planted oat is higher in forage quality than spring-planted oats. Research at the University of Wisconsin by Ken Albrecht found that maturation of summer-sown (August) oats was delayed, resulting in 10 to 15 percent less neutral detergent fiber (NDF), 18 percent greater digestibility and 250 percent more water-soluble carbohydrate than spring-sown oat.
The recommendation would be to plant 1.5 to 2 bushels of oats per acre (with or without peas). Soil test to determine if sufficient residual nitrogen remains for the oat crop following the drought-reduced corn crop. If not, fertilize with 60 to 70 pounds of nitrogen per acre at planting. It is also important to check for any herbicide plant-back restrictions prior to planting. Planting should occur during the first week of August as earlier planting will result in earlier maturation and reduced yield.
If oat seed is unavailable use another spring small grain, though yield will be less. The order of choice should be triticale, rye and barley, based on yield. Ryegrass would also be a choice if adequate moisture is present, since it is more affected by drought stress.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Kati, Feb 20, 2013.
because of Achilles tendon
That is such bad timing! Hope she heals fully for the Olympic season.
Nooooooooooooooooooooo Kiira I feel so sorry for her. All those injuries
I hate sounding cynical but honestly this is Laura Lepistö all over again. And I refuse to get my hopes up about Kiira ever being able to return because that's what I kept hoping for with Laura and look how that turned out....
So as a self-coping mechanism wuzrobbed) - bring on the juniors! At least there are a few good ones.
It sucks badly. After such a good opening to the season, this is so frustrating and sad!
Dear Hanna, I so wish that you are totally wrong! (I guess you wish that, too!) It is hard for an athlete to keep her spirits up amongst all these injuries.
So sad for Kiira, she's always lovely and has been improving steadily all these years....
Now, should Turkilla feel pressured or not? If she actually manages to grab an olympic spot at worlds it wouldn't be for her next season if Kiira recovers. But in the case Kiira doesn't this is her better chance to get the spot (a 20th place should make it) instead of Nebelhorn.
I won't lie and say I didn't expect it. At her age it's going to be a lot tougher to rebound from an injury like that. I don't know what her prospects are like for Sochi next year but at least she'll have the next few months to rest...
Feel better soon, Kiira!
Article in Finnish: http://yle.fi/urheilu/kiira_korpi_ei_kilpaile_mm-jaalla/6504483
Best wishes to Kiira Korpi on recovering fully for the Olympic season!
I really hope she beats the odds and comes back next season. She was skating with more attack and confidence than I remember in recent years and that made her very enjoyable to watch. Fingers crossed for her!
for Korpi and even for Turkilla! She is most likely going to miss out on Sochi if Korpi returns next season.
Sounds like she had resumed training, but the pain has returned?
Bad news!! Get well soon, Kiira!
Darn, I was hoping she would recover fully in time. I was really looking forward to seeing her lovely programs again.
Bad news indeed. She withdrew last season from Worlds due to lingering foot and hip injuries.
Kiira has been to 2 Olympics. I hope she fully recovers and makes it to Sochi.
Oh, what painful news
Oh nooooooooooo
I'm not sure that it is as much a matter of pain -- if you continue to aggravate it, the tendon can rupture, turning it into a much bigger issue.
(She has my sympathy. It is an incredibly hard injury to really get past. Took me a good three years, and even so I get twinges which cause me to back right off.)
hope she will get better soon and will be healthy enough to get to compete next year
(((Kiira))) So sorry to hear this. Such a shame for her and Finland.
Hang in there, Kiira! Wishing her the best.
Please get well soon Kiira.
(((My favourite current lady out)))
Oh, that's so sad . She performed at 'Art on Ice' in Helsinki recently, so I thought that perhaps she'll be fine enough by Worlds. And I was really looking forward to seeing her in the mix with other top ladies at Worlds. But it's so much sadder for her than for any of us.
That's correct. The pain returned as soon as she tried to go back to normal training instead of cut back hours (exactly the way it was with Lepistö).
That's true but performing a show number with two double axels is far from doing two competitive programs back to back and especially the free skate, of course. I think most skaters can pull off a show number without hardly any serious training but for competitive programs the shape you have to be in is completely different.


text: I've just started playing with top entrances this year. I ran a couple of hives with wide open top and bottom entrances. Here in Texas with the blistering summers I wanted to see if it would have a noticeable effect upon how the hives operated. It took about a month for the hive to really use the top entrance, but once they did, they tend to favor that entrance for nectar and the bottom entrance for pollen. I only had robbing occur once early in my season, but nothing past the one incident I witnessed. I did not notice the bees avoiding storing honey near the top, in fact they went so far to build comb attached to the top (I left too much space, about 5/8") and they filled that with honey too. This coming season I will try the mid entrance as well and reduce the space I gave them.

Lorie Line
Moonlighting at night, she played piano in bars and restaurants, but jumped at the chance to play for shoppers at nearby Dayton's. She recorded her first album Out of Line that same year, and sold cassettes while working. After several such releases, Line began to build a following around the Minnesota area and decided to make music a full-time occupation. She formed her Pop Chamber Orchestra and began touring around the country. The buzz helped, as Line's two 1995 albums -- Heart & Soul and Sharing the Season, Vol. 3 -- each made Top 15 on the New Age charts. Lorie Line produced her first public-television special in August 1996, and released Lorie Line Live! that same year as a document of the program. Simply Grand followed in 1999. ~ John Bush

Whats the final score in this game Auburn 57 Arkansas 56
Wow wisc stickin it to Ohio st
With Tynes injury and awful kickoffs how about a guy thats only attempted 1 FG in college. Adi Kunalic of Nebraska leads all of CFB with the best KO average. He has 35 touchbacks in 53 kickoffs. Normally I would just dismiss a guy like this because there is no room on the roster for a KO specialist but Kunalic is a special case. Kunalic is a back up behind if not the best one of the best FG kickers in all of college football in Alex Henry. Kunalic wanted to redshirt his senior season so he would get a chance to showcase his goods next season when Henry goes to the NFL but wasnt allowed because he is to much of a weapon on ST. I think Pelini did a disservice to the kids future by not allowing him to redshirt but he did what was in the best interest of his team. Still part of me thinks college coaches have a duty to give kids the best chance to succeed in life and Im not sure he did in this case. I think Kunalic gets an invitation for sure by somebody to an NFL training camp though. He is such a weapon on special teams Im sure a team will give him an opportunity to prove himself in the preseason. I hope for this kid sake there is a season or he may not get a chance.
[quote user="gmen0820"]How does everyone feel about Dont'a Hightower? Kids huge, seems smart and scheme diverse. Any extended info on this kid? He looks great in this game.[/quote]With Dareus, Jones, Ingram, Barron, ect. I honestly don't see Hightower coming out, I think he stays in school another year.
Top 2 guards IMO at this point have gotta be Rodney Hudson (FSU) and Mike Pouncey (UF). Not a position of need for the Giants, just sayin-
How about Gator boy Janoris Jenkins. Great cornerback who was overshadowed by Joe Haden. He won't be drafted as high as Haden but is just as good IMO. With such a deep class of DB's, Jenkins could slip to round 2-3 and be a value pick.
[quote user="Redeyejedi"]I think Nick Fairly solidified himself as a top 10 pick today.What an awesome performance[/quote]thought he was a soph?
