100 Days Presser: The Nanny State
posted at 9:27 am on April 30, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
The nanny state has apparently arrived, and Barack Obama took his place as National Mom last night in his 100-days prime-time press conference. After the Obama administration spent the last two days stoking fears over the swine-flu outbreak, one reporter asked what exactly Obama intended to do to keep more cases from developing in the US. Obama then turned into Mr. Mom while ducking the issue of closing borders:
Q: Thank you, Mr. President. With the flu outbreak spreading and worsening, can you talk about whether you think it's time to close the border with Mexico and whether — under what conditions you might consider quarantining, when that might be appropriate?
OBAMA: Well, first of all, as I said, this is a cause for deep concern, but not panic. And I think that we have to make sure that we recognize that how we respond intelligently, systematically, based on science and what public health officials have to say, will determine in large part what happens.
I've consulted with our public health officials extensively on a day-to-day basis, in some cases an hour-to-hour basis. At this point they have not recommended a border closing. From their perspective it would be akin to closing the barn door after the horses are out, because we already have cases here in the United States.
Let's stop here for a moment. Having a few carriers cross the border does not mean that the entire country is infected. I don't know whether closing the southern border would prevent any infections from occurring, but the more people who cross while carrying the virus, the more people in the US who will get exposed to it. It's not a tremendously difficult computation to make.
I traveled to Ireland in the summer of 2001 when Britain and Northern Ireland were managing a raging outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease, which nearly destroyed their agricultural industries. The US was very, very particular about screening for that when I returned home, insisting that I account for all my travels (whether I'd visited farms, etc) and clean all of my footwear. And that was for a veterinary illness.
So what exactly is the government recommendation?
The key now I think is to make sure that we're maintaining great vigilance, that everybody responds appropriately when cases do come up, and individual families start taking very sensible precautions that can make a huge difference.
So wash your hands when you shake hands. Cover your mouth when you cough. I know it sounds trivial, but it makes a huge difference. If you are sick, stay home. If your child is sick, keep them out of school.
To — if you are feeling certain flu symptoms, don't get on an airplane, don't get on a — any system of public transportation where you're confined and you could potentially spread the virus.
Well, it's a darned good thing we cleared out a prime-time slot for President Obama last night … so he could tell us to wash our hands and cover our mouths when we cough. What's next? Telling us to wear clean underwear when we leave the house? Always carry mad money in case your date turns out to be a cad?
Obama makes a good point about public transportation, but unfortunately, not the one he wanted. If you rely on public transportation with no other options when an epidemic sweeps into town, public transportation is practically designed to amplify it. Where else will hundreds of strangers have to squeeze up against each other for minutes or hours every day? Even airplanes leave you some personal space. You don't have to hold onto a rail on an airplane, either, one handled by God-knows-how-many sick people before you boarded the bus or train.
Actually, that may have been the most responsive answer Obama gave.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The only good thing I can mention,is that the flat has a fantastic good location.
One is close to everything.
Problems with inchecking,..a cleaning lady met us at the building,saying that she was told to meet 2 guests instead of the 3 we were.!
Tried to call the landlord Jay,but got his voicemail,where I ofcourse left a message,but he never returned the call
The flat looked very worn,the bathtup didn`t work - water came out through the wall.
The floors are very squipping-you can`t tiptoe in that flat !
Great apartment, fantastic location, friendly host. Highly recommended.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very clean and smart apartment in a truly fabulous location. Literally minutes walk from many popular attractions and venues. Arrangements on arrival and departure worked well. I would highly recommend a stay here.
Very easy Making contact with the owner who provided us with contact information, has agreed with us about arrival and departure times. We were very well received. The apartment is clean and functional and very well located. A small flat on the insulation if you want to go winter. I highly recommend!
Prise de contact très facile avec le propriétaire qui nous a fournis ses coordonnées, s'est mis d'accord avec nous sur les horaires d'arrivée et de départ. Nous avons été très bien accueilli. L'appartement est propre et fonctionnel et surtout très bien situé. Un petit bémol sur l'isolation si vous souhaitez y aller l'hiver. Je recommande vivement !
Even before the trip communication with Jay was easily the handover when we arrived worked great. With the accommodation we were very pleased. It was clean and the location was great as well. On foot only 10 minutes from Times Square. Just around the corner there is a supermarket.
The only drawback: The room is not very soundproof.
Schon vor Beginn der Reise war die Kommunikation mit Jay problemlos auch die Übergabe bei unserer Ankunft hat super funktioniert. Mit der Unterkunft waren wir sehr zufrieden. Sie war sauber und die Lage war auch super. Zu Fuß nur ca. 10 Minuten vom Times Square entfernt. Gleich um die Ecke gibt es einen Supermarkt.
Einziger Nachteil: Das Zimmer ist ziemlich hellhörig.
We really had a nice stay at Jay's apartment. It was very clean and perfectly located. We had a good time. Thanks!
Clean, beautiful and very centrally located apartment! Would stay with Jay! Thank you!
Sauber, schön und sehr zentral gelegenes Apartment! Würde wieder bei Jay übernachten! Vielen Dank!
The property was exactly as advertised and suited us very well. It was clean, everything worked, the beds were adequately comfortable. With the window closed it was quiet, despite the busy street below. The location is great, just near the UN, on a bus route, easy walking distance to 5th Avenue, Times Square, the Rockefeller Center, Central Park.
We had fun and it was great to meet you, Jay.
Many thanks, Mike and John.
The apartment is very well located, well appointed. The residence is quiet. The bathroom is old and there is a lot of dust. The sofa is not very comfortable, suitable for a child or teenager. 50 bus runs right past the house every half hour, it goes towards 5th avenue, saving time assured. There is a supermarket a block, ideal for shopping very late. The day of departure, we were able to leave our luggage in the housing, so we took full advantage of our last day.We had a great time, and we certainly relouerons this apartment.
L'appartement est très bien situé, bien agencé. La résidence est calme. La salle de bain est vétuste et il y a beaucoup de poussière. Le clic-clac n'est pas très confortable, il convient à un enfant ou ado. Le bus 50 passe juste devant la résidence toutes les 1/2 heure, il va direction 5ème avenue, gain de temps assuré. Il y a un supermarché à une rue, idéal pour faire les courses même très tard. Le jour du départ, nous avons eu la possibilité de laisser nos bagages dans le logement, nous avons donc profité pleinement de notre dernière journée.Nous avons passé un super séjour, et nous relouerons certainement cet appartement.

I own a S&W MP9, Sig P225/P6, Sig Mosquito, Ruger MKII 22lr, S&W 30-1 (32 long). If I could'nt carry the P6, I would carry Mosquito with CCI stingers.
So now you know my favorites. First you don't want a gun that doesnt feel good and or you can't hit anything with. Find out as much as you can about any issues (google is you friend). Choose your caliber with caution, how many people or walls will the bullet pass through before it stops. IMO sig is the way to go never put a price of your safety. Remember a well placed rock will also drop a 300lb man.

Reviews of this property
The Apartment is perfect for a city trip for two! But caution: Arriving by feet with luggage is not a good idea in Lissabon as there are little hills everywhere.. Having a garden in the middle of the city can't beat anything and when you're having breakfast on the little terrace in the sun with a view (yes you can see the sea and some cruise ships) it just feels like Holiday.
Only two little things to mention: the shower needs a renewal, at least the curtain and also the stairs to get to the three floors seems at first a little dangerous.
But all in all totally recommendable!
The location of this apartment is perfect. It is in the heart of the famous Alfama district, an area of mazy olde worlde charm, with several restaurants and bars close by. The apartment is compact, with 3 rooms spread over 3 floors. It feels like a brand new apartment and the views from the bedroom over the river Tagus are beautiful. Alex couldn't be more helpful. He met us on arrival and after showing us around the apartment even took the time to walk us to the nearest supermarket and back. He also ordered a taxi for us on departure and provided details of how to get around. This apartment is perfect for a couple. we had a 1 year old baby with us and whilst Alex helpfully provided a baby cot for her, the apartment is not set up for small children, with the vertical spiral staircase a little bit scary when you have an active baby! If we ever return to Lisbon as a couple we will be sure to seek out this place though. Recommended!
Very nice apartment and good location if you plan to spend a lot of time strolling around in the charming Alfama district. Alexande was a excellent host and answered any question swiftly.
Alexandre's house is immaculate and very well equipped. It is a stone's throw from the Castle, Plaza de Sol and the tram and bus to downtown. Alexandre was very responsive to the only query we had and a concerned and informative host. Do accept his offer of a transfer from the airport - the house would be very difficult to find on your own.
Beautiful, bright and functional apartment in a great neighborhood Alfama. The central but quiet location is perfect for visiting Lisbon as created. The communication in advance and on-site service (return transfer to the airport) were great. Only recommended !!!
Schönes, helles und funktionales Appartement im tollen Stadtteil Alfama. Die zentrale und doch ruhige Lage ist für einen Besuch von Lissabon wie geschaffen. Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld und der Service vor Ort (Hin- und Rücktransfer zum Airport) waren super. Nur zu empfehlen!!!
We were very well received by Catarina. Accommodation is superb but perhaps a bit poorly insulated from outside noise.
However, the stay was very nice, the property is very well located.
I will recommend willingly around me.
Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Catarina. Le logement est superbe mais peut-être un peu mal isolé du bruit extérieur.
Cependant le séjour fut très agréable, le logement est vraiment très bien situé.
Je le recommanderai volontiers autour de moi.
Apartment as planned with all the comfort! with a beautiful sea view! it is located not far from Castelo. you have the tram 12 and 28 has some put a foot.
Appartement comme prévue avec tout le confort ! avec une belle vue sur la mer ! il est situé pas très loin de Castelo. vous avez le tramway 12 et 28 a quelques mettre a au pied .
A really beautifull accomodation on top of one of the 7 hills Lissabon is built on. Very romantic and originally built with a lot of privacy. You can sleap or read under the mandarin tree in your own garden(!!!) when you are tired of walking through the city, or have dinner on the small terrace with river vieuw. You live really near the lissabon castle with a lot of nice restaurants en beautifull terraces within 500 m. Very complete furnished so it is fit for a long stay as well. Really nice and helpfull hosts (thanks!). When you have the chance: try this one! it is the start of a perfect hollyday!
A lodging in a good location, on the one hand calmly in a walk-in only by pedestrian street, on the other hand is close to various restaurants and cafes. Prima!
The apartment is rather narrow, but quite corresponds to the pictures. If you are rather slim, it easily holds two. It is set up so that you can live very well for two: breakfast you can prepare great and probably a smaller meal. In an emergency, you could even wash. In the spring you could well sit on the balcony and enjoy the day.
The biggest advantage is that you can enjoy both native life (up the hill), and hip tourist life (following the tram).
We have recommended it.
Ein Quartier in guter Lage, einerseits ruhig in einer nur durch Fußgänger begehbaren Straße, andererseits in der Nähe verschiedener Restaurants und Cafés. Prima!
Die Ferienwohnung ist eher eng, aber entspricht durchaus den Bildern. Wenn man eher schlank ist, reicht es locker für zwei. Es ist so eingerichtet, dass man zu zweit sehr gut wohnen kann: Frühstück kann man sich super bereiten und wahrscheinlich auch eine kleinere Mahlzeit. Im Notfall könnte man sogar waschen. Im Frühjahr konnte man gut auf dem Balkon sitzen und den Tag genießen.
Der größte Vorteil ist, dass man sowohl einheimisches Leben genießen kann (den Berg rauf), als auch hippes touristisches Leben (der Straßenbahn folgend).
Wir haben's weiterempfohlen.

Hey everyone, it's Friday, time for another entry in the Reader Recommendations series!
The Reader Recommendation series is intended to help me formally pursue all the great films that commenters bring up each week in discussion which I've never seen. If there's a movie that comes up that I haven't seen, but you think I should, email me @ email@example.com or let me know in the comments that you'd like to participate!
This time up, our movie recommendation comes from Adam Griffith of 3 Guys 1 Movie, who's recommended the 2008 Danish film "Terribly Happy". I heard good things about it when it first came out, and actually have had it in my Netflix instant queue without ever pulling the trigger, so I was happy to finally give it a shot!

Visitors to World Dairy Expo can register to win FutureCow prizes totaling over $15,000 in value. To coincide with the roll out of two completely new products, the company will award one of each of them to lucky grand prize drawing winners. The new products include a Mobile TeatScrubber for udder prep, and a ComfortBrush for cow care. In a third drawing, FutureCow will award a prize Holstein calf to a lucky 4-H or FFA member. The calf is being provided by Siemers Holsteins of Newton, WI.
The Mobile TeatScrubber is a new invention bringing big farm technology to small and mid-size dairies of 200 cows or less. The company is calling it "the greatest innovation since the milking machine." It is an udder prep system that cleans teats thoroughly and effectively with a patented brush wand, eliminating the need for towels or pre-dip. The system has consistently been shown to reduce SCC numbers and significantly improve milk quality. The original TeatScrubber system is installed in large dairy parlors around the globe. FutureCow is now introducing a mobile unit that can be used in smaller dairy settings.
The ComfortBrush is also a totally new product with many unique features. First, it has a 48" long, full-body brush that is double the length of other brushes, and covers the cow from head to flank. The brush is activated with an intuitive motion sensor that detects an approaching cow and turns on the brush. It is designed with an exclusive universal joint that provides a range of motion unlike any other cow brush available. The ConfortBrush has several additional features that make it inviting for cows to use.
Dairy farm visitors to World Dairy Expo along with 4-H and FFA members can enter the new product and calf prize drawings at the FutureCow exhibit #EH 5015 in the Exhibition Hall.
FutureCow is an American company, manufacturer and patent holder of the FutureCow Teatscrubber Prep System. More information about the company's products can be found at www.futurecow.com.

Surprise! Oil Companies Vastly Underreport Size of Oil Spills
In November 2012, BP agreed to pay $4.5 billion in fines and plead guilty to criminal charges related to the Deepwater Horizon drilling disaster. As part of their plea agreement, company executives admitted they had misled Congress and the American public by providing false information about the extent of the oil spill.
BP fudged the numbers in a big way, which left some researchers wondering how accurately "minor" oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico were being reported by the dozens of other companies with leases to drill.
Oceanographers at Florida State University (FSU) teamed up with SkyTruth, a West Virginia nonprofit that uses satellite images to track environmental pollution, to assess whether "minor" oil spills were being minimized in official documentation.
FSU graduate student Samira Daneshgar Asl analyzed 67 satellite images and found that manmade slicks were as much as 13 times larger than the estimates reported by oil companies to the National Response Center, the branch of the U.S. Coast Guard that collects information on oil and chemical spills in U.S. waters.
The results were presented last week at the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and Ecosystem Science Conference in New Orleans, at a presentation originally reported on by Nature.
"There were one or two cases where we saw less oil than what was reported. But in most other cases, we saw longer slicks, larger areas, and greater volumes than what was reported, usually by a factor of 10 or more," Ian MacDonald, an oceanographer at Florida State University, told TakePart.
MacDonald and his collaborator John Amos, president of SkyTruth, have a background in using satellite images to detect small oil slicks caused by natural seeps in the ocean floor. They soon realized that you could use the same technology to detect human-caused oil spills. "Satellite imagery became a critically important tool to determine that the oil spill was 20 to 25 times larger than BP was saying it was in the first week of the spill," Amos said in an interview with TakePart.
Until the BP oil disaster, reports by the federal government showed that there were more natural seeps in the Gulf of Mexico than there were manmade spills. "Pro-drilling politicians and oil industry spokespeople could say, 'nature pollutes the Gulf more than we do,' " Amos told TakePart. "But the main source of information available were pollution reports submitted by the polluters themselves."
Following the BP oil disaster, Amos and MacDonald turned their attention to the dozens of other companies operating in the Gulf of Mexico. The discrepancies were significant.
The next step, Ian MacDonald told TakePart, is to publish the data in a peer-reviewed journal so that it can be established as part of the scientific record. MacDonald and his team plan to use the published study to advocate for the expanded use of satellite surveillance of the Gulf of Mexico. "It demonstrates that [satellite images] can be used as a component of coastal monitoring and in some ways it's more accurate and sensitive than relying on user observations," he said.
The researchers believe that independent monitoring is an essential component of increasing transparency and accountability in the management of our nation's natural resources.
"It may not be so easy to dismiss the cumulative environmental impact of offshore oil and gas development when we've demonstrated that we don't really accurately know how much pollution goes along with that development," Amos said. "Right now the public is totally in the dark, relying on the polluters themselves. That is totally unacceptable."

India's challenge: Intolerance vs. intellectual freedom
Because of criticism from Hindu fundamentalists, the showing of a documentary by filmmaker Sanjay Kak at the Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce in Pune has been indefinitely postponed. The conservative student organization Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parisha protested Kak's film, "Jashn-e-Azadi" (How we celebrate freedom), which is critical of the Indian army's role in Kashmir. In fact, the whole conference, scheduled to start Friday, has been postponed, according to the investigative magazine Tehelka and the BBC.

I was wondering if anyone else's PMs are acting weird the past couple of days.
Whenever I come to the site, it shows "Unread, zero" PMs. But if I click on any forum, and then back to the main index, my last received PM keeps popping back up as unread.
Is it a glitch? Am I hallucinating? Is it the last sign of the apocalypse??
No biggie, just curious.

In the year of their 50th jubilee, it is perhaps appropriate that several slices of history are on the line for Central United in the Chatham Cup final today.
Should the Auckland club overcome Lower Hutt City this afternoon it will be their fifth Cup victory, after wins in 1997, 1998, 2005 and 2007 across eight finals.
Stacked with current and former ASB Premiership players, Central will start favourites. Alongside All Whites veteran Ivan Vicelich, they have Auckland City stalwarts David Mulligan, Adam Dickinson, Albert Riera and Daniel Koprivcic.
Striker Paul Urlovic played in all four of Central's triumphs and a win today would see him edge closer to Steve Sumner, who holds the all-time individual record of six Cup successes.
All these achievements highlight how far the club has come.
Central United was founded in 1962 by immigrants from the then Yugoslav region of Dalmatia. As most were keen footballers, they founded the club as a focus for their developing community.
Initially they had no home ground or clubrooms - they gained permission to train and play in Auckland Domain.
In 1965, they moved to their current home ground at Kiwitea St in Sandringham (which had been used by the Pioneer softball club). At that time there was just a tiny shed by the field - now there is a sizeable grandstand, large clubrooms and one of the best playing surfaces in the country.
"It's always the focus for the club to do well but with the 50th season, we really wanted to do well [this year]," says Vicelich.
"We've played some tough teams in the Cup this year but put in some really good performances and fully deserve to be in the final. It's very special that the club has a chance of silverware in the 50th year and hopefully we can bring that trophy back."
Opponents Lower Hutt City, who were founded 91 years ago (two years before the first Chatham Cup final), have a youthful squad but will take confidence from the fact that Central region clubs have won in the past three years.

Biden: The "bad guys" don't live in Iraq
posted at 9:46 pm on July 15, 2008 by Allahpundit
Biden, the chair of the Senate foreign relations committee, also criticized McCain for putting too much emphasis on Iraq.
"If John wants to know where the bad guys live, come back with me to Afghanistan," Biden said. "We know where they reside. And it's not in Iraq."
So saith the Democrats' supreme foreign policy expert and quite possibly our next Secretary of State, a guy who (a) used to advocate a "soft partition" of Iraq in the knowledge that the surge would never work; (b) previously called for sending U.S. troops into Darfur, presumably on the theory that "the bad guys" live there; and (c) even within the parameters of his own impoverished view that the "bad guys" encompass no one outside Osama's inner circle still manages to miss the fact that, yes indeed, some of the bad guys have been known to turn up in Iraq from time to time. See Dean Barnett for a longer response to this idiocy, which raises the left's visceral discomfort with the idea of jihadist elements in Iraq having anything to do with Al Qaeda to almost Trutheresque proportions. Exit question: Biden does realize, doesn't he, that the "bad guys" don't live in Afghanistan either?

Their fans are way too overconfident after beating up on two horrible teams.
Was going to go to a game there last year; unfortunately the fans their are a bunch of thugs people getting beat up on the way to the game and the police and security are no help. Terrible place!
I feel like the niners are that one 'elite' team that we match up great against. Kind of how the eagles just match up extremely well against us.
We will go our there with our decent run game and quick Eli looks. Our offense will keep us in the game while the defense grinds it out.
I think if we dont win, it will be very close. less than a 6 point win for either team IMO.
oh and btw: I love you Jacobs and Manningham, just please no big days Sunday!!
"I associate them with the death of my childhood by ending the 3 peat and injuring Montana. I've always hated the Giants. Equal to the Cowboys"
"yea i expect a close game too , eli is the best QB in the nfl , him alone is enough for them sometimes. i say we win though, hope im wrong about it being close and we blow em out though but doubt it with eli."
"Eli definitely is best in the NFL. People don't want to admit it but it's true. Will be interesting to see what Cruz does without nicks, and with Hixon. Even with Nicks, a downgrade from Manningham.
Although the interesting x-factor is their new TE Martellus Bennett. They have Andre brown and David Wilson in place of Jacobs to go along with Bradshaw. Not a terrifying rushing attack IMO if we controlled CJ spiller and Fred Jackson today, and AP in our loss.
Giants fans treat Eli like we used to with Montana -- always in the game. It's time we out enough points to one dimensional use the b*****d and get some picks.
We shall prevail!"
Oh, the bitterness.....
I love when these two teams are playing well. It makes for some great football. It's gonna be a tough, grind-it-out type of game. We need guys like Hosley, Rivers, and Nicks back for this one.

Adam and Adrian, do you cut the feed bags to fit or just give them a fold or two and put them on? Do either of you have a pic?
Adam and Adrian, do you cut the feed bags to fit or just give them a fold or two and put them on? Do either of you have a pic?
I cut them to fit leaving about an inch overlap.
I've begun to make my lids the same as the base, so they can be used as a top entrance.
The only cover I have is a piece of vinyl flooring cut about 1 inch shorter than each inside edge. So there is about a 1/4" gap above each end of comb for bees to have direct access to the comb from the top entrance.
Matthew Davey
Yes I use inner covers on my 10 frame colonies. I like the convenience of the inner cover hole to feed, I also like to use the notch in the inner cover during winter to help evacuate some of that moisture, and keep those bees from gluing a telescoping lid down to the frames. On my nucs I use all migratory lids though. But that is so I can scoot them together during winter.
-Dan Williams
Yes and no here also. When I was making my gear out of dimensional lumber I would put a dato in the bottom and put in some plywood. When the glue dried I cut it off and had perfect inner cover and help keeping the hive body squared. Thought I was clever. Now I have been building from rough cut lumber and just cut the hive to the correct dimensions. Some of my plywood covers need an extra brick to hold them down from warping.
Why do we fall, sir? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up Alfred Pennyworth Batman Begins (2005)
top entrances similar to Mike Bush's.
I used to use telescopic covers but with the arrival of SHB I found that they provided more hiding places for them.
I use now an inner cover plus a migratory lid - and yet I never move my hives.
OK, I haven't seen any responses that really sell the concept of using inner covers other than to prevent the telescoping lid from being propolized down thus making it difficult to remove. I live in a tropical area and am wondering about how it helps/hinders the temperature of the hive. Any input would be most appreciated.

In my earlier post.....
Also with this combination, you get the added benefit of a top entrance AND hive ventilation.
What we move south we don't as we use migratory covers and much of what we winter in the north have migratory covers. Having said that we have been discussing wintering in NY with all inner covers and telescoping lids because they:
1) Alow us a higher level of "control" over the ventilation in winter. I think a top with direct ventilation or heat loss such as a migratory cover if they are used alone in winter, would be more heat loss for the "hive" area than if we have a controlled ventilation by proping the telescoping lid with a could of queen cages on top of the inner cover at the front and a telescoping cover on top. Although the cluster does not heat the hive space there is still a loss of residual heat given off by the cluster if the heat is just allowed to rise and leave through a "chimney" created by too much top ventilation. This would require more energy for the cluster to winter successfully. We've found a great difference between too little, just right and too much winter ventilation. We have hives winter successfully in singles with migratories but we find they do better with the inner cover - telescoping set up.
2) Allows us to peak into a hive we are concerned about on a cold winter day without exposing the whole cluster to cold as we can peak through the hole in the inner cover.
3) Helps prevent robbing as you only have a small opening in the inner cover which can be defended by a few guard bees. We know on our migratory lids, once robbing behavior begins in a yard it takes scads of bees to defend the openings.
4) As Beeman indicated the hole is perfect for winter top feeding with a quart jar of warm syrup and it's useful to throw a hadful of granulated sugar on as well.
5) Prying a propolised telesoping lid is usually difficult and often causes damage to the lid.
We found with top entrances we had bees putting a great deal more pollen in honey supers that later were to be extracted and found that pollen not only never got to the brood nest but had to be cleaned out by bees later. We still use upper entrances (but not top) as with singles and queen excluders we want to avoid field bees crowding the brood nest on incoming flights. Even with that configuration we still get more pollen in our honey supers that just goes to waste. In our 8 frame comb honey supers we use no upper entrance to avoid getting pollen in the comb honey.
Having to manipulate the innner covers in our summer work would be impossible and we can't transport hives with telecsoping lids but I like them for winter use and if I were running under 25 hives would likely use them year round.
I'm in Connecticut and am a newbie. First winter, only 1 hive but plan on expanding this spring. My setup right now is 2 deeps with an inner cover, 1 1/2" spacer on top of that with 1" foam insulation in the top section and then a telescoping cover. I put pennies under the front corners of the inner cover for added circulation.
I'm wondering though why the girls are partying up on top of the inner cover every time i look?? Checked them again last night, cold and dark, with 18* weather and still partying up there!!!
I know it's warm up there but shouldn't they be clustered down lower?? They were loaded with honey in the fall. Is it possible they are running out already??
I'm also curious if I should not have created the little attic space with the spacer?!
Any thoughts out there??

Eva Mendes
Eva Mendes for Violet Grey (Courtesy of Emma Summerton @ CRM)
There's no denying the fact that Eva Mendes is one of the sexiest women in Hollywood, and if you may have forgotten her Marie Claire shoot for the March issue of the magazine will definitely remind you! Inside, Eva talks body image, career goals and what it's like working so closely with Hollywood hottie Ryan Gosling!
"He's your dream costar. I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film," Eva said of her sexy costar and off-screen boyfriend.
Eva also opened up on body image, sharing some advice. "It doesn't matter what you have or what you look like. It's something everyone has to work at. I realize I have contributed to a certain happy, healthy, empowered image, but that's not all of me. I feel it's important to let women know that I have similar struggles. What I tell girls is what they don't like about themselves now, they will probably end up loving as an adult, because that's what happened to me. When I am complimented on things that I didn't like when I was 13, like my overbite and my mole, that's when you realize that your imperfections are why people love you."
Eva went on to share who she idolizes, listing Julianne Moore and Annette Bening: "I have a girl crush on them. I'd kill to have half the careers they've had after 40."

The 2007 Flying Dutchmen will be seeking to continue where they left off a year ago when they won 17 of their last 18 games en route to winning a co-championship of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA). The championship was Hope's sixth in a decade and the 20th in school history. The Flying Dutchmen posted an overall 26-14 record, marking a school-record sixth straight season of winning 20-or-more games.
Coach Stu Fritz begins his 14th season at the helm of the Flying Dutch with a roster of 29 players which includes 17 letterwinners. There are eight freshmen, seven sophomores, eight juniors and six seniors.
Four of the returnees achieved All-MIAA honors last year. Sophomore pitcher Dustin Wuis of Kalamazoo, Mich. (Comstock HS) was the only first-year player on the All-MIAA first team. He posted a 5-1 record in league games. Junior outfielder Matt Sattler of Brighton, Mich. (Hartland HS) is also an All-MIAA first team returnee while junior shortstop Joey Goeb of Grand Rapids, Mich. (East Grand Rapids HS) and junior outfielder Scott Sommavilla of Holland, Mich. (West Ottawa HS) were All-MIAA second team honorees.
Sattler established Hope single season records for hits (58) and singles (40). In league games he was the leader for hits (43) and doubles (13).
Co-captains of the team will be Matt Sattler and seniors Mike Rodgers of Saline, Mich. (Saline HS), Matt Van Beek of Hudsonville, Mich. (Unity Christian HS), Bill Lutke of Allendale, Mich. (Unity Christian HS) and Mike VanderVelde of Grandville, Mich. (Grandville HS).
Mike VanderVelde is a two-time All-MIAA honoree, achieving first team honors as a freshman and receiving second team recognition as a sophomore. Last spring he ranked 15th among all NCAA DIII players in the toughest-to-strikeout category (just 4Ks in 154 ABs).
The 2006 Flying Dutchmen hit a robust .319 led by .300 hitters Mike VanderVelde at .387, Matt Van Beek .355, Scott Sommavilla .341 and Joey Goeb .314.
Other returning players include sophomore outfielder Jeff Ichesco of Saline, Mich. (Saline HS), senior pitcher Kurtis DeHorn of Allendale, Mich. (Allendale HS), junior third baseman Tim Judson of Hoffman Estates, Ill. (Barrington HS), senior pitcher Anthony Pastrick of St. Joseph, Mich. (St. Joseph HS), sophomore first baseman Matt VanderVelde of Grandville, Mich. (Grandville HS), sophomore outfielder Paul Neumann of Holland, Mich. (West Ottawa HS), sophomore pitcher Brian Guerriero of Clare, Mich. (Clare HS), junior catcher Andrew Bedan of Grosse Pointe, Mich. (Grosse Pointe South HS), and sophomore pitcher Matt Richardson of Niles, Mich. (Niles HS).
The Flying Dutchmen will spend their spring break in Port Charlotte, Fla. Playing up to 10 games between March 17-23. The league schedule will consist of 14 home-and-away doubleheaders. The home opener will be Monday, March 26 against Alma.
The team is also anticipating its first international trip in June when they'll compete in a tournament in Prague, The Czech Republic.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I will take scrapple hands down over SPAM. Definitely fry it! We always ate it with syrup...mmmmmm
My DH and I love Spam. I slice it thin, broil it and serve it as the meat part of a meal. Or make sandwiches out of it. I have baked it before, put pineapple slices on it and marachino cherries and chopped it and put in with scrambled eggs when we used to camp.
Spam for this family-the only contact I ever had with Scrapple personally was in Baltimore, scrambled into eggs for breakfast; and ate it without questioning what was in it, since I wasn't the cook. But now Spam, when we tell our grandkids 'Spam sandwiches for lunch after church, the whole bunch shows up at our house for lunch.....
Make every day count for something!
liver pudding is as yummy as scrapple
oh sorry thats neese's liver pudding and scrapple
Does anyone have a Scrapple receipe to share? thanks

All the gas stations and quick stops sell spam with rice wrapped in seaweed and steamed. Its a wonderful snack, very popular and even I can eat it. Grew up with Dad liking spam from his Army days. Mom would fry it and we ate it with potatoes, veggies and I never liked it that way; flavor way to strong.

Diane Warren at:
Diane Warren is considered to be the most prolific and successful contemporary songwriter of our time. A quick glance at her list of Top Ten hits reveals a range of musical genres and styles so diverse its difficult to believe the songs could have come from the same person.
Growing up in the San Fernando Valley, Diane was exposed to Top 40 radio and her talent began to develop. She loved listening to her older sisters' records, people like Buddy Holly and the Beatles, but she was more fascinated by the songwriters: Carole King, Lieber and Stoller and Burt Bacharach.
Despite her parents divided thoughts on her career choice, Warren's talent and persistence finally paid off. In 1983 she had begun working as a staff writer for Jack White, a producer with singer Laura Branigan. White asked Warren to prepare English lyrics for a French song. 24 hours later, she turned in "Solitaire," which became a Top 10 hit for Branigan in 1983. Three years later, Warren penned "Rhythm of the Night" for DeBarge, which hit number three on the pop charts and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart. To date she has had over 80 songs charted in the top 10.
Diane Warren has written for such legends of song as Elton John, Tina Turner, Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack and Roy Orbison. Recently, artists such as Patti LaBelle, 'N Sync, Gloria Estefan, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Reba McEntire, Whitney Houston, Enrique Iglesias, Aerosmith, Ricky Martin, Faith Hill, Celine Dion, Mary J. Blige and LeAnn Rimes have graced the charts with her songs. Warren herself agrees that she has tapped this universality of message in her songwriting.
Indeed, Warren's songs have transcended genre. Her number one Adult Contemporary hit "If You Asked Me To" has been recorded not only by Celine Dion, but also by R&B diva Patti LaBelle. Her song "Don't Turn Around" has been recorded by eight different artists - from Tina Turner to Aswad to Ace of Base. Her number one pop hit "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" performed by Aerosmith for the movie Armageddon not only received an Oscar nomination, but simultaneously hit number one on the country charts with a version by Mark Chestnut. Additionally, Diane's song, How Do I Live, recorded by both Trisha Yearwood and Le Ann Rimes, was not only a number one hit that won Yearwood the Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance, but also carries the disctinction of being the longest running song in the history of Billboards Hot 100 chart.
Dianes songs are featured in more than 60 films. She had a number one hit with Cant Fight the Moonlight, performed by Le Ann Rimes and featured in the film Coyote Ugly. Diane contiues to diversify. She recently joined forces with rock band The Cult, who recorded Painted On My Heart for the film Gone In Sixty Seconds. Bounce, starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck, featured Need To Be Next To You performed by Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer. The Family Man, showcased I Dont Know How I Got By, performed by Edwin McCain. With an uncanny ability to create the perfect songs for any scene, its no wonder that Warren continues to receive accolades. As of 2002, Her songs have been nominated for 3 Golden Globes, 5 Academy Awards and 8 Grammys.
Warrens massive success as a songwriter has offered her the opportunity to support a number of charitable causes. She is a Buddy For Life at AIDS Project Los Angeles and an honorary committee member of PETA. She has been a key donor to the Simon Wiesenthal Center Museum of Tolerance and has founded the David S. Warren Weekly Entertainment Series at the Jewish Home for the Aging, a program she established in memory of her father. Because of her success, SCAP and VH1 joined forces as part of VH1s Save the Music campaign to launch the Diane Warren Music of My Heart/ASCAP Foundation Music Education Project in 2002. The project was implemented by the ASCAP Foundation and funded by The Diane Warren Foundation and provided folios, sheet music, band arrangements and method books to more than 1,000 middle schools across the country.
Warren has been named the ASCAP Songwriter of the Year six times and Billboards Songwriter of the Year 4 times. Her publishing company Realsongs, was named one of the top 5 music publishing corporations and is the most successful female-owned and operated business in the music industry. In 2001, Warren also received further recognition with a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Mayor Bach promotes tourism plan for Colorado Springs
Details released during annual State of the City address
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs Mayor Steve Bach said creating four new tourist attractions in the city is the best way to provide jobs, boost tourism and generate additional revenue.
Bach mentioned the plan to an audience at Broadmoor Hall on Thursday during his annual State of the City address.
The city could bring in an extra $10 million in sales tax revenue annually, Bach said, by building a downtown stadium, a downtown Olympic museum, a sports medicine facility and a visitors center outside the Air Force Academy.
No specific sites have been chosen yet.
Bach said the new attractions could bring 750 new jobs to the city and attract 450,000 more tourists every year. The attractions have been discussed previously, but Bach said they key difference is the city applying for funding from the state Regional Tourism Act for the first time.
The act, said Bach, provides sales tax rebates to cities that draw out-of-town visitors.
"We just want to take better advantage of what we already do," he said. "We could break even in 7 years, and we can do it without a tax increase. If the city needed to borrow some money for that, I'd ask voters to approve it."
Bach said the four new attractions would cost around $218 million, but the city would pay only a third of that amount; state and private money would cover the rest. He said construction wouldn't begin until 2018 at the earliest.
People attending Bach's address were generally supportive of the plan.
"It seems like a very logical approach because it's such a beautiful area, and we have a lot of things to offer," said resident Eunice Hamilton. "We just want more people to know about them all over America."
"I felt the mayor laid out an excellent vision for the city," said resident Kevin Weiner. "And more than anything, what we need are leaders who can present us with options and ideas."
Bach's plan brought mixed opinion from two local elected leaders.
"I think new attractions will bring some new energy and possibly some new people who have already visited all of our other attractions," said Jan Martin, a city councilwoman.
"I want to make sure for me, personally, that there's no tax dollars involved," said Peggy Littleton, an El Paso County commissioner. "It would be strictly funded by those folks who would be coming into the city beyond what we already have."
City officials should know by December if they'll qualify for state funding. Until then, Bach said, he will schedule a series of public meetings to sell his plan.
In a related matter, Bach said getting more direct flights from the Colorado Springs airport is another goal for the next year. He said he wants more people to use the airport instead of drive to Denver International Airport and pay additional costs for tolls and parking.
Dan Gallagher, the airport's interim aviation director, said the airport can sustain 1.6 million passengers annually, but only 700,000 are expected to board flights there next year. He said officials are trying to work with airlines to lower costs.
However, Littleton said lowering costs depends more on the airlines and less on local efforts. She said offering perks like an executive lounge is one way to attract customers.
"Let all of our carriers provide some of the money that they get as revenue from ticket buyers, not taxpayers," she said. "That's a perk that people like to have when they're traveling."

#SodSandy RUNNERS! DONATE YOUR CLOTHES TO THE RESIDENTS OF STATEN ISLAND.
Drop off to the Sports Tour International desk at the Belvedere Hotel, 319 West 48th Street NY.
Thank you everyone for the lovely birthday messages. The best birthday present for me would be for you all to get this message out to as many people as you can. Share this pic! At the beginning of the marathon the runners discard their clothes just before taking off and we are asking all of the runners to donate these clothes for the residents of Staten Island. Tomorrow the London team will deliver the clothes to the residents of Staten Island who have been affected by Sandy. The thing is - the situation here is far worse than you can imagine and I agree wholeheartedly that it would have been incredibly disrespectful to run when so many people have lost everything including their loved ones.
Thank you, thank you and pass this message on!

That's horrible logic.
Would you blame Suarez for not scoring, if he doesn't get the ball in good positions?
To score goals you need the ball in positions where you can score goals.
Altidore's best time as a national team player came when he had another forward to partner with like Charlie Davies and even slow as lard Brian fricking Ching.
The point isn't that I'm blaming Jozy (which I am to a degree - he is lazy, uninterested and lacks match fitness, but that isn't the point), the point is that Jozy does NOT fit our current system. If we ever get to the point where we can work the ball into the final third with reasonable consistency, he will be the man to lead the line.
You wouldn't start Messi for Stoke (okay, he would start if they had him - but you get the point) and you wouldn't start Carroll for Barcelona.
Right now we need an ultra-physical player who will make their presence known, win headers, work for the team, attract defenders and allow other players to make runs off of. Jozy just really doesn't have any of those qualities, especially when he is asked to drop deep (like he was today).
he is lazy, uninterested and lacks match fitness
Could describe the entire team at times.
He's a decent holdup forward in Holland, but today and in other national team games he looks pretty poor.
PS Suarez scored 15 goals in a top 3 league in the world as an isolated CF surrounded by teenagers. Whether the service is good or not in any given match, Suarez makes his presence known.
and an even bigger concern with Klinsmann's tactics.
International play and Club play = Apples and Oranges. Those teenagers played a shite ton more together than our international midfield. Especially, when our midfield is every changing. Bad example.

Early blast 'person of interest': Racial profiling?
Reports on now-cleared Saudi national prompt questions
BEND, Ore. - Amid the chaos, the smoke and the screams -- and confusion -- following the Boston bombing, a "person of interest" quickly emerges.
A Saudi Arabian man studying at a Boston college is still in the hospital after suffering severe burns from the Marathon Bombing.
Many initial reports called him a suspect in the attacks; he was questioned in the hospital, his apartment voluntarily searched.
Police now say he is only a witness, posing for many the question: Is this another case of racial profiling?
"My first reaction was, why that person? There were lots of people running away," Karen Roth, Central Oregon Community College's director of multicultural activities, said Wednesday.
The man, in his twenties, was reportedly running from the scene and looked suspicious.
Soon plastered across social media and headlines was the first could-be suspect.
On Monday, just hours after the attack the Washington Times tweeted, "Police question Saudi national on Boston Marathon bombings."
The Saudi man is cleared of suspicion, but Roth said the damage is already done.
"He had his house gone through, he's suffered the consequences of somebody's stereotype," Roth said. "It's not something we can ever give that person back."
Roth says stereotypes associating Muslims or Arabs with terrorism were amplified after 9/11, but go back further.
"The Oklahoma City bombings, the very first reaction was this had to have been someone who was Muslim or Arab," she said.
Roth said stereotypes are part of human nature-something we can't fully escape.
"The thing about our stereotypes and prejudices, which is why they are so insidious, is that they do happen so quickly, especially when it's in a crisis situation," Roth said.
But nature can be changed with nurture--and Roth says fighting stereotypes is crucial.
"The more we get to know one another, it's really hard to hate someone, it's really hard to hold onto that stereotype."
Saudi Arabian Embassy officials told the Washington Post a Saudi man was questioned by police as a witness, and was fully cooperating with the investigation, and "granted permission for his Boston area apartment to be searched."
COCC is holding a series of talks called 'Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys' to teach people about Muslim culture and to help break down stereotypes.
'Muslim Journeys and the Making of American History' takes place May 1st from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Wille Hall of the COCC Campus Center.
'A Quiet Revolution: The Veil's Resurgence from the Middle East to America' on May 29th from noon to 1 p.m. in the Oregon Room of the Barber Library.
Both talks are free and open to the public.

Not Yet Are We a Godless Nation!
Original post made by Marvin, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Apr 6, 2013
Although the North Carolina House of Representatives killed a bill Thursday that would have paved the way for establishing an official state religion, a new national YouGov poll finds widespread support for doing so.
The new survey finds that 34 percent of adults would favor establishing Christianity as the official state religion in their own state. Thirty-two percent said that they would favor a constitutional amendment making Christianity the official religion of the United States. Twenty-seven percent said they thought President Barack Obama is the antichrist.
Republicans were more likely than Democrats or independents to say that they would favor establishing Christianity as an official state religion, with 55 percent favoring it in their own state and 46 percent favoring a national constitutional amendment. "What I like about Christianity is that it is a violent religion that justifies American exceptionalism and forcible intervention virtually anywhere in the world," stated Marco Rubio, a Republican from Florida.
Jeff Sessions, Republican Senator from Alabama, seemed to echo the sentiments of his constituents: "Back when Christianity was more highly valued in this great country, people knew their proper place. Then we had the march of godless immorality in the form of Civil Rights marches; and today we have the godless, immoral homosexuals trying to destroy our great Christian legacy."
And Senator Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, then added: "But Jeff, there's no stopping it. The country is departing from Christian ways and most Americans will soon be Muslims, especially the way things are going under our current Muslim president."
The relatively high level of support for establishing Christianity as a state religion may be reflective of dissatisfaction with the current balance of religion and politics. Respondents to the poll were more likely to say that they'd rather be ruled by their Christian evangelical pastor than by the current scourge upon this land, Barack Obama.

This "article" is dripping with opinion and not fact. 34% say they want Christianity as a state religion? Maybe in a conservative state, but not in CA. More than 1/2 of Americans approve of Gay marriage (see recent Time article). Highly doubt that 1/2 would want to force a religion on someone else.
And if Rand Paul truly made the comment about President Obama, then he's a bigger idiot than I originally thought. He will never hold a position outside of his state.
By the way, founding fathers were not nearly as Christian as everyone likes to think. President Thomas Jefferson, author of Declaration of Independence, studied all religions. And since many of our founding fathers owned slaves and felt women should not be allowed to vote, I'm not one to think we should go back to the old ways.

Marvin was quoted as saying, "I certainly can't tolerate anyone else's beliefs, since my own arrogance and ignorance prevents me from seeing beyond my own hooked nose."
His quote was derived from an interview on the DailyKos website, so it must be true. No one would post fake quotes on a reputable website just to garner attention for themselves and to try to discredit people of faith, would they?
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Apr 6, 2013 at 7:38 pm
What tale are you spinning Marvin? with "Back in the days"?? There were actually a variety of religions in New America. Except, most of our founders were Deists (merely believing in A god) not christianity or any demoninations. There were many Quakers, which continued through to Richard Nixon.
There can never, nor will there ever be a 'state' religion. It would mean another revolution. Jeff Sessions is not fit to be a Republican. True Republican conservatives believe in 'limited government', not meddling in personal, private lives.
Even the bible says nothing and people knew nothing of contraception..It's folly to even discuss in a political forum...it's personal. Even for catholics, it's a new phenom...not mentioned in earlier days...another modern invention,not heard of 200 hundred years ago, much less 2000 years ago. Stick to facts. It is more rewriting, inserting,and making a farse out of earlier writings that did not cover such issues at all. Dripping is right about Thomas Jeferson, who was a scholar on all religions, which means he was a scholarly fellow, who believed in facts and science. Ben Franklin studied all religions, and didn't like the authoritarianism in religions and politics.
I think Paul just talked himself out of ever being President.

Sound the Alarm for Health Care!
The current state of our nation's health system is truly alarming. We continue to let people live sicker and die prematurely because of the lack of needed health care. As the richest nation in the world, we can do better! And as people of faith, it's time to raise our vision and voices for a health care future that includes everyone and works well for all of us.
In prayer and witness we have the opportunity to help transform public discourse from bitter partisanship to dialogue around shared values about the right thing to do. And it doesn't get any easier than Sounding the Alarm in your community of faith.
In March of 2009, 350 communities of faith in Illinois led the way for us by ringing bells, blowing shofars, playing horns, and using other instruments of worship to sound the alarm. Now, following the lead of the Faith Caucus of the IL Campaign for Better Health Care, faith communities across the country are sounding the alarm. As part of the June Interfaith Week of Prayer for Health Care mobilization, people of faith will sound the alarm in the manner best suited to their faith tradition. Many will do this the weekend of June 19 - 21, but any time is welcomed.
Feel free to use any of the resources below, or develop your own and share them with us, to sponsor your own Sound the Alarm event.
And... As you set the date for your event, please let us know so we can include your community of faith in the list of all those participating in the Believe Together mobilization.
Take action!
We know that prayer alone will not move our nation forward on health care reform. We must participate in the democratic process by raising our voices about the importance of moral consideration in shaping public policy. Choose an action below, or create an action of your own to let your lawmakers know that you want health care reform that reflects the faith-inspired values of compassion, community, concern for those who are vulnerable, stewardship of our abundant health care resources, and share responsibility.
Please let us know about other Worship Resources that should be included.

Invite your faith community to reflect, pray and act for justice for children. Join other Christians in addressing the needs of the more than 9 million children without health insurance. Designed as a six-week program, the prayer tent and bulletin inserts create a space where family and friends can reflect on and discuss the need for a health care system that serves all our nation's children.

Chill Time is the name given to time difference between when one noticed a new friend request on Facebook to when one actually accepts it. This is a new phenomenon because of how mobile devices can alert you any time any where of a new request. Depending on the person, chill time may last anywhere from an hour, to several days.
"Dude, I totally just got a friend request from Amber."
"did you accept it?"
"Nah dude, I'm gonna give it a little chill time. Say maybe a couple of hours."
