Did you know that food and wine go together?! Astounding revelation, I know. But this question is more poignant than you might imagine.
If you live in the USA, it is not uncommon to go out for "drinks", which may not incorporate a lick of food. However, here in Iberia, it is rare that I've ever had a glass of wine among natives, outside of a wine tasting, without some bit of food. In Spain and Portugal, wine is food – plain and simple. And if I could ration a guess, I would assume that this same theory could extend to much of Europe as well.
So you would logically jump to the conclusion that wine lovers would automatically hang out with food lovers? Right?! Well, no, that's not always the case. Wine typically has its own unique following, filled with devout believers passionate in the ceremonial rituals of swirling, sniffing and swallowing. While dedicated food lovers are the ones eager to geek out on a particular cooking implement, intriguing food combinations, or simply creating a killer recipe that makes their dinner guests buckle at the knees. Food lovers cock their heads curiously, as wine lovers rattle off vintages, terroir, tannic grip or aging practices, while wine lovers gawk at the incredible culinary masterpieces fashioned by food lovers. But let's be clear, these two worlds are far from mutually exclusive, and if anything, they share a strong foundational passion for earthly delights.
It was because of this revelation that we decided to create an impromptu wine tasting last Wednesday night at The Westbridge with approximately 40 London food and wine bloggers. With the incredible help of both Niamh Shields (London food blogger extraordinaire) and Charlie McVeigh (manager of the The Westbridge and a strong social media supporter), we fashioned a ridiculously fun wine, charcuterie and tea tasting. From 7 – 11pm, wine and food bloggers shared their mutual curiosities and perplexities surrounding food and wine pairing.
What was most astounding to me was literally the raw excitement expressed by everyone to share their common discoveries of a particularly good, or really horrible, cheese and wine pairing. Additionally true, the depth of questions were equally as stimulating. Questions such as, "so, how do you actually taste wine anyway" or "I typically don't like red wines, but this is quite delicious". Even wine bloggers chimed into the mix with, "so when you judge a restaurant, or a particular dish, are there ethics that food critics need to abide by?" and "Do you feel any of these reds pair well with these stinky cheeses, or would the Cava pair better?'
Was it worth it? Would we do it again? Absolutely!! We all tend to get caught in our small circles, fearful of breaking out of our safety net to include new people, but if you do have the opportunity to share your passion with someone new, go for it! It may not always be positive, but it's absolutely worth the chance of discovering a new friend.
I have attached the majority of the wines, cheeses and teas we tasted below, in addition to the bloggers that attended the event. I realize we are missing a few here and there, and if anyone can help make the list more comprehensive, we would be very appreciative.
I would also really love to hear your thoughts on what worked with this tasting as a whole. What food and wines paired well for you, and what you might have done differently in the future? As this was our first tasting of this kind, any and all feedback would be wonderful! Please leave one comment down below as to what you enjoyed most!

The tasting was interspersed with shots of weird and wonderful teas from Henrietta Lovell (Rare Tea Lady).
Whole Leaf Green Tea which is hand-fired over a wok to capture the soft vegetal notes of the undamaged leaf with a clean, bright finish. I was most gratified by the number of people who had previously not been keen on green tea but changed their mind on their first taste of the good stuff. This particular tea works brilliantly as a palate cleanser for white wines. I thought it went particularly well with the Riesling.
Oolong. A glorious epicurean tea which lies artfully between a green and black tea. It is only partly oxidised by a great master to reveal myriad flavours. It has a really floral nose, soft apricots and a dry, flinty finish. This can compliment any wine but has the strength of character to stand beside the boldest red.

Before he wrote the Lord of the Rings trilogy, J.R.R. Tolkien wrote the fantasy children's book The Hobbit. The well-loved tale finally hits the big screen on December 14 in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first of three films based on the book (Rated PG-13). Martin Freeman stars as Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who leads a quiet life until he joins a wizard and 13 dwarves on a quest to reclaim their home from a dragon. "Bilbo finds things within himself—bravery, ability—that he didn't know he had," says Freeman.
Along the way, Bilbo also finds an unusual gold ring—and meets the cave-dwelling creature Gollum (Andy Serkis), with whom Bilbo plays a game of riddles to win his way out of the cave. "It's one of the most iconic scenes of the story," Freeman says. "It's one of the most enjoyable scenes in the film." It's also one of the most technologically advanced scenes in the movie. To find out more, TFK spoke to visual effects supervisor Joe Letteri, who has won Academy Awards for his work on Avatar, King Kong and The Lord of the Rings films. He spilled some of The Hobbit's filmmaking tricks to TFK.
What does the visual effects supervisor do, and what are you responsible for, in a movie like The Hobbit?
In a movie like The Hobbit, what I have to do is create anything that doesn't exist in the real world. So if you can't make an actor do it or build a set or find a location, if it needs to just be completely virtual, then it's up to me to create it.
One of the first scenes filmed for the movie was Bilbo's scene with Gollum, who first appeared in The Lord of the Rings films. How have the changes in technology since those movies came out 10 years ago helped improve the look of the character?
When we started doing Gollum on Lord of the Rings with Andy [Serkis], people looked at animated characters almost like a cartoon, so the idea was he would only record his voice, and you would go in and animate Gollum similar to the way cartoons have been animated. But we came up with the idea of trying to use motion capture, which was still very experimental in those days. We wanted to see if we could record Andy's motion [to capture] the body language that goes along with the performance, because that's really a part of how we relate to each other. That's why your mom is always telling you to stand up straight because that actually does affect how people perceive you. So we took that idea and made it work on Gollum. So 10 years later, we have been working on [motion capture technology] with different characters, like King Kong or Tin-Tin, and we thought that if we could really do this right, it would be great to just record Andy's movements right on set, right as he's performing. So it's Gollum and Bilbo and what you see is exactly what Andy's performing and what Peter [Jackson] is directing. So that was the big breakthrough for us on this film.
One of the other things you deal with is perspective, like making Gandalf seem much taller than the dwarves. That was handled a little differently for this movie, right?
It was because [we shot in stereo]. If you're not shooting in stereo, you can use perspective tricks, like if you stand in front of the Statue of Liberty and make it look like it's standing in your hand [for a photo]. We have to do that with every frame to make a trick like that work. When you have two cameras side-by-side shooting in stereo, it works for one but not the other, so you can't do it that way anymore. So what we have to do is have one camera control the other one, so it's almost like a robotic arm that the second camera is on. One camera makes it move so that it maintains the proper perspective for all the elements.
What was your favorite new character to work on in The Hobbit?
I like the goblin king just because he was so disgusting, and it's always fun to make disgusting characters. But I also liked [the orc] Azog just because he's a very powerful, compelling character and he had a really good performance as [the dwarf king] Thorin's nemesis.
One of my favorite parts was the scene with the giant eagles, which looked so real on a massive scale. What kind of research of real animals goes into creating something like that?
We studied eagles, a lot of reference photography of eagles and any other raptor-like birds that we could find. We wanted them to look really majestic, but the scale is the trick there, to make them look like real eagles. You know how big their feathers are relative to their wings, bodies and neck, so when you are seeing them flying, they look like real eagles, but big. But when you see them up close—when you see the dwarves or Bilbo riding on their backs—the feathers would be way too big, bigger than Bilbo's body, so there is a balancing act to come up with a design.
What was the most complex scene to create in The Unexpected Journey?
That would be the goblin cavern because there's no ground plane. Normally you have a bit of ground and some sky, or you have some architecture but there's a floor there. But here, there's just all this scaffolding and walkways going through space and they would go up and down and over each other and across, so everything was just kind of out in space, very three-dimensional. And then on top of that, we had to populate it with thousands of goblins, who are just running and crawling all over the place and chasing the dwarves throughout the whole thing, so it was a fairly complex scene. It took over a year to do that.
The Hobbit will be in three parts, so your work isn't done. What is it about Tolkien's stories that drive you to work several years and countless hours on these films?
There are two things. There's the fantasy aspect of it. He was one of the first authors to really put down in story form for a modern audience like us a lot of the old myths and legends: orcs and goblins and dwarves and wizards and trolls and elves. Those are just fantastic creatures and fantastic worlds to revisit, and he's put it all together for us in this one world of Middle-earth. Basically, it's just a feast to go in and work with that.
Then, on top of it, there are some really compelling characters that I think really get brought out in the films. I think this is one of the things that [director] Peter Jackson is so excellent at. He can tell this big, vast, complicated story where you are traveling on this journey all through Middle-earth, but it still comes down to something very simple and something we all know, which is about a hobbit, who has never left his home and has always been afraid of what's out there in the big world, deciding to give it a try. He does it to help these dwarves who don't have a home. So the one thing he's always had is the one thing they've never had, and they are both trying to help each other find the missing piece, and that's really what friendship is.
Why should kids go see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey?
It is a journey through an amazing landscape populated by really unique characters. There's something there for everyone and, in the end, it is a heroic tale and that's something that's always worth watching.

Sharpton: If Hillary's Florida and Michigan delegates are seated, we'll march on DNC headquarters
posted at 7:56 pm on February 14, 2008 by Allahpundit
Al Sharpton versus the NAACP? Not in my wildest dreams…
The Rev. Al Sharpton yesterday said the Democratic Party would commit a "grave injustice" if it seated delegates from Florida and Michigan at the party's national convention – and he threatened a march on the party's Washington headquarters…
Sharpton wrote: "I firmly believe that changing the rules now and seating delegates from Florida and Michigan at this point would not only violate the Democratic Party's rules of fairness, but also would be a grave injustice."
He added that protestations about being disenfranchised, a point made by [NAACP head Julian] Bond in a separate letter to Dean Tuesday, "should have been made many months ago, before the decision was made to strip these states of their delegates…
He said his National Action Network is discussing a possible march on DNC headquarters, adding, "This smacks of the same stuff we accused the Republicans of in Florida in 2000 . . . changing the rules."
Black superdelegates are getting it from both sides too. Obama's been careful to keep himself above the fray of identity politics, but if you want to see the depths to which some of his supporters have sunk, chew on this:
[Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver] said Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois had recently asked him "if it comes down to the last day and you're the only superdelegate. … Do you want to go down in history as the one to prevent a black from winning the White House?
"I told him I'd think about it," Cleaver concluded.

ReNew Life founder Brenda Watson launches her fifth PBS show, Heart of Perfect Health, this month with a wealth of surprising and life-changing information on how Americans can live longer, healthier and more productive lives.
For the past 20 years, Brenda Watson has committed herself to uncovering the core of optimum health with her in-depth experience with digestive care, digestive disease, and its many health repercussions. Her bestselling books, health supplements, PBS shows and clinics have reached millions across America, giving them the tools to transform their health through a powerfully simple and integrated approach
Heart of Perfect Health: The Startling Truths About Heart Disease
Heart of Perfect Health debuts late November-early December 2012 on PBS-TV stations nationwide. In this groundbreaking exposé, Brenda uncovers the root of America's #1 killer, heart disease, in a hidden condition known as silent inflammation.
"Silent inflammation is so pervasive—and evasive—that most people have no idea it is happening to them," says Watson. "Yet research now tells us that silent inflammation is directly linked to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, and obesity, which all lead to heart disease and diabetes. This is information that is vital to our nation's health."
Heart of Perfect Health is not simply about the problem of silent inflammation, however, but about the real and accessible solutions we all have to stop silent inflammation and improve heart disease health markers—high cholesterol, high blood pressure and high blood sugar. "We don't think of the gut when we think of heart disease," says Watson, "though these two areas of the body are indeed linked. My new PBS show details this connection and what we can do to reverse the vicious cycle of silent inflammation for good, and avoid becoming another health statistic."
"Viewers will be shocked at what is causing their silent inflammation and delighted with the power they hold to turn it around, starting in their own kitchens."

Re: Getting an Xbox One.[ Edited ]
Some people are clueless to the facts that Sony hasn't played all their cards yet. They have far more IPs than Microshaft, and a better variety. While Microsoft brought over 360/Kinect games to be new exclusives on the Xbone to get their new IP numbers up, Sony has multiple teams per Dev house working on new projects.... Even Guerrilla has a new IP in the works.
Keep wishing that Microsoft will keep paying 3rd party devs to make games for the Xbone like they are doing for launch, but if you were smart you would notice during 360's time on the market that Microsoft stopped trying to create anything new half way thorough, while Sony is STILL creating new games for the PS3.
Support a company (Microsoft) that stops caring, insults people's intelligence, forces a camera, and stops creating anything new on their 360 while they have to buy up 3rd party devs to make games for the Xbone
Support a company that isn't forcing, supports Indie developers in a big way, made their system easier for developers (No Split memory) gives gamers options, has far more quality developers, made a more powerful next Gen console for $100 cheaper, and KEEPS supporting their older systems the WHOLE time. = Not halfass like Microsoft

One difference between "$ony" and "Micro$oft", is: Sony tells us what we want to hear, while Microsoft just does what they want, without the need to reassure / coddle an insecure fan base.
But, both of their ultimate goals are -- To make money.
And both companies will be making a lot of it when their new consoles release -- Whether we "respect" / "trust" them or not.
Obviously Sony is being SMART about it, and Microsoft is being DUMB!
I'll support the SMART one with my money

I always thought the xbox was overrated anyway.
The 360 is a great system, but Microsoft doesn't have the same people that made the Xbox great. With the Xbone they went against just about everything they did right with the 360.
Microsoft doesn't deserve any support when they crap on the very things that got them where they are in the first place.

text: And when we get a guy with a power forwards body and elite guard skills named LeBron James we can get away with it as well. That's your best example? There isn't even any congruence considering that they have the best forward on the planet dragging their frontline to victory while getting double digit rebounds almost every time out, while we have Amir Johnson getting double digit fouls if the rules allowed for it. And effective is what? Getting rebounds? Preventing offensive putbacks? Scoring points? Did you judge the players performance last night via live feed or espn gamecast like last game? Sorry. You'll have to learn to walk on water before you're on any sort of steady ground with me on this point. Oh how easily revisionist history erases the old boys club of Chauncey and Rip playing keep away from everyone else on the floor while they occasionally hit Rasheed for heat checks and toss Tayshaun the periodic bone. I think you're in denial if you're pretending this wasn't prevalent in years past. Once again we're back to Allen, and here I thought we were talking about Curry. It would make a more convenient and easy to follow read if you dropped the facade and stuck with the AI hate. It's just downright troublesome to peel back the layers and eventually get to post trade remorse. Waitaminute... You just said the problem was everyone else not named Amir's defense. Then you said "we managed to not let it get away from us defensively." I bow to your superior use of the infamous shotgun approach. You win. Congratulations.

This is my second season with bees. I had one hive last year that was very healthy. I reversed earlier this spring and split it about three weeks ago. Everything was looking great. I haven't been up to open my hives in two weeks because I had to leave town, but two weeks ago they both had plenty of space. I was up poking about in the bee yard earlier this morning and nothing seemed unusual.
So, just now I was standing by the huge picture window in my kitchen when I heard a buzzing sound....looked out and there were a few thousand bees cruising by. They flew across the yard, across the street and into the woods...wanted to chase them, but I've got two young children and a high-speed beeline is pretty out of the question at the moment. There is a pond across the street, so is there a good chance they are over there between the woods and the pond? I am assuming I've had a swarm....suggestions on how to find them?

Writer's Guild: Video Game Nominations
<p>Who's made the writer's guild video game nominations for 2014? </p>
While the great debate over whether or not video games are truly art trudges on, we're happy to see that the Writers Guild of America is honoring outstanding achievements in video game writing for the seventh consecutive year. We were fairly surprised to see that BioShock Infinite didn't make the short list, along with GTA V, yet the five nominees seem worthy of a nod. Check out the trailers, nominated writers and our favorite quotes below.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
"Aesop once wrote of an eagle, soaring high above a shepherd's field, that swooped down on powerful wings to seize a grazing lamb and carry it off to her nest. Flying close by, a jackdaw saw the deed, and it filled his head with the idea that he too was just as strong and capable. So with a great flapping and rustling of feathers, the jackdaw came down swiftly and clutched at the coat of a large ram. But when he tried to fly away, he found he could not lift the animal, for his size and strength were not up to the task. And even as the jackdaw struggled, the ram hardly noticed he was there. Nearby, just across the field, the shepherd saw the fluttering bird and was quite amused. Running up, he captured the jackdaw and clipped its wings. That evening he gave the jackdaw to his children as a gift. 'What an odd little bird this is, Father!' they laughed and shouted. 'What do you call him?'" – Wooden Rogers

Discussion in 'Chevy C/K Truck Forum' started by Quad racer#212, Mar 15, 2012.
I got my 1982 K1500 running to day now to finish it up.
Congrats! How long was it down?
It sounds really good!!!!!:great:
I got the truckabout 6 months ago. I paid $1,000.00 for it with a broken flywheel and a badtransmission. The mud and oil covered 350 was pulled out and went on a motorstand. I then pulled the transmission and transfer case out to have it built.The inner fender were removed and replaced do to rust I cleaned painted theengine bay also replaced motor mounts. The turbo 350 transmission received allnew hard parts and a B&m shift kit with 3000rpm stall. The transfer casegot new oil and seals. As for the motor it started as a bar block bored to4.030. I had the crank rods and pistons balanced. The top end is Edelbrock rpmperformer aluminum heads. I dropped in a cam solid lifters and full rollerrockers victor jr intake and a 750 carb. I have 456 gears for the front and rear axles I also have a locker forthe rear and will be getting a spool for the front.
Wow, it sounds like you've been a little busy. Got lots of good stuff going on. 450hp is quite a bit...I'm sure you'll be having a ton of fun with it soon :glasses:
Thanks i hope so. Here is the link to my album so u can se what i have done.
Hey!! Awesome Job!!! SOUNDS GREAT!! Thats why we haven't seen you around for a while... tinkering with the truck... Good work
sounds mean dude.
should be a fun truck.
what kind of exhaust? wish my trucks sounded like that haha

Take him, only Tech would be stupid enough to get a guy as young as KK.
Sumlin and Kingsbury have been quoted as saying they didn't offer Manziel because they saw offers from Oregon and A&M and knew he would not choose Houston.
Kingsbury is a very risky hire for their AD. If Kingsbury fails as a HC, the AD is assuredly gone. With such a short track record and the question of Kingsbury being the Krby Smart to Sumlin's Nick Saban, the risks might outweigh the rewards with Kingsbury.
Tech also has interviewed the DC for the Titans who reached out to them. I would not be shocked if it were his job to lose.
Then why did he interview for the Texas Tech head coaching job last week?
Wont happen. Kingsbury hates Kent Hance and as told those around him he'll never go to Tech while he's there. The Leach debacle soured him. Word is this is a money play and A& M is about to give him a big raise.
Then why did he interview for the Texas Tech head coaching job last week?
A once in a generation QB like JFF makes everyone look like a brilliant coach.
Same way Tebow made Meyer & Mullen a genius? Or the same way that $cam made Gus Malzahan a genius?
When will the idiotic fans amongst us realize that spread formation offenses-whether run heavy or pass heavy; hell, even blended-are here to stay because they WORK?
Risky to hire Kingsbury. Risky not to hire him.
Texas Tech fans think Kingsbury is the next Nick Saban. The TT "Guns Up" thingy might take on a whole new meaning if the AD passes up Kingsbury in favor a defensive coach. The AD might want to keep his family away from open windows for a while.
rom the outside looking in, Morris would seem to be the better candidate...

Do you think it is a good idea to buy the new Audi TT? Or do you think you are better off with a different car? tell me what you think.
It depends on what you are looking for in a car. What are you looking for, what features and attributes?
The new Audi TT is OK, but it would have been much better with three trim levels:1. A base model with the V6 from the R32.2. A mid model with the V6 from the R36.3. A killer top model with the V8 from the S4. Audi could drop the Quattro to save weight. The car would still kick a lot of butt.

Hey Ron, how about sharing what you look for in a great yard? (you can pm me if you like )
Hey Ron, how about sharing what you look for in a great yard? (you can pm me if you like )
Mr Semple, I believe Ron is in Ohio.
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
Ron is a bit busy this week I belive .... Just a guess but I am betting it will be tuesday before he can even consider a response.
I looked at ohio country boys site... which video?
I was at Rons a cpl weeks back, fantastic operation and a really smart honey producer. whole family is part of it. when he says he makes over 100 lbs a hive. hes not kidding. and its not syrup... He does have an advatage, he is near a really large alfalfa pellet mill, so lots of forage in his neck of the woods...
Just to be clear, saying "I don't know how you do it" does not equal "You can't do it." I also don't view either of those statements as saying someone is a "liar" is "lying" or anything to that extent. Maybe that was not what those comments were referring to, I don't know.
For most here, a healthy set of criticism is good for the business. Let's say that person A doesn't treat a colony, and it dies from mites. Person A hopefully learns that not treating will result in an unfortunate situation for them. Now lets say that person B steps forward and they say they are not treating for mites, but their bees are still alive. Person A has a different personal experience, so is obviously skeptical. In order for person B's experiences to outweigh person A's experiences, to person A at least, a strong case would need to be presented on how it was done and why it was different than person A's trial. Now, if you ask person B how they did it, and what they did differently, and they respond "I don't know," well, there's a problem. Person A doesn't have enough evidence to persuade him that if he doesn't treat anything other than what he experienced first hand will happen. Person B not knowing what they did, or why they succeeded while others didn't, doesn't help their position that "others can do it too." Frankly, they don't know that. Furthermore, saying "it can be done" or "I have done it" or "trust me" or "have faith" adds nothing to the conversation.
If you can take 1+1 and make it equal 3, congrats to you. But unless you can tell me how to do it, how I can do it, when I keep getting 2, I'm going to be skeptical.
Perhaps I should retract my statement that some Russian lines were terrible. And say they did not fit my management. Although our web page says Russian Bees I try to be clear as to what I am doing. I am not a Russian cooperator. I am not bringing in new Russian stock. I am pursuing resistance that the Russians gave me while selecting top performers under my management. So I do cringe a little. What do I have? I don't know.
I am not Randy Oliver's Taliban. I am not trying to push my bees on anybody. What I do desire is an open mind that mite resistance is real. And given time and dedication that mite resistance can be advanced through proper pressure and selection in ANY strain of bees. And that's not painless. But it is doable. And I believe the ultimate answer.
For those still wondering, I let lots of bees die to get where I am. Now you could not pay me to treat for mites. Why step back? I said earlier I am just one guy. I am nothing special. Anyone that can rear queens could follow the same course. What if a bunch of people were doing this? How much more could be accomplished? That's what gets me down. Won't anybody go for it? Remember your not taking anything with you when you go. But you are supposed to leave the world a better place when you leave.
Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on someone else getting to the point you are at today, but still having some type of treatment regiment?
You had heavy losses when you didn't treat, as most do when they head down that route. The loser colonies die out because (at least according to those who do the bond method) their genes don't need to be further spread.
It is, however, theoretically possible to move in that direction without forcing colonies to die along the way. Instead, simply breed from your most resistant stock, while treating the colonies that wouldn't survive without treatments, then requeening them with your most resistant stock. It may (and likely would) take significantly longer to accomplish the same goal, as more "inferior" genetics are still floating around, at least for a number of years. But eventually you could get to the same goal, without having massive losses. At least, that's what I believe Mike Palmer was working towards. And also this is what I theoretically assume.
Your thoughts on that Chris?
Chris, welcome. I've hear stories about you before from another guy here in Ohio. Sound like you know what your doing. Maybe one day I'll be there too.
Chris, I would love to know a what level your bees keep the mites down to. There has been a tremendous amount of attention towards mite tolerance and I have yet to hear of someone who can claim complete success. There has to be a secondary mechanism at work in your apiary.
Because which ever way you cut it, mite growth compounds itself, and unless the hives can keep the mite levels below 1% at all times, the hive will fail to mite load infections. I have yet to hear of a bee that can maintain a mite load below 1% throughout the year.
Let me read between the lines a bit, tell me if Im off course at any time,
you manage 1800 honey producers, take them all to Cali, and Id suspect shake them in January? if not then, March?
move the hives down to Texas, and split them down, how many times? 4 or 5 times? Do you sell some of those splits off?
You bring 1800 back up to the Dakotas.
I know how nucing works, it breaks the mite cycle, I also take advantage of this in my own operation, but there is a point of time in operation when those nuced hives need to be cleansed of their mite loads. Oxalic or what ever.
Perhaps your hives show tolerance to the mite, and keep the levels downish, perhaps its your other operations during the year that help cleanse the hive of mites also?
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
You wouldn't ever have feeders in hives that are supered, would you?
Regards, Barry
Mark Berninghausen
Berry, I do my feeding in the frames. You can feed with supers on the hive, if you know how to manage them. You feed enough to make bees, not fill supers. All my hives have supers on them right know. It takes about 30,000 lb of HFCS to feed 1000 2 lb packages to production. That would be like filling a 1 gallon feed, filled 3 times to build them up for production. By putting the feed into the frames I can start my bees 3-4 weeks ahead of most (one brood cycle). Just think if you had one more month for your bees to build up, what kind of crop your hives could make.
Jim, I'm shoot for 200 APH, but only the weather will tell that story. Where did you fine the national APH. The real question is how many report there REAL APH.
A 200 lb.average for our outfit is pretty much a dream. We will occassionally have a yard do that but it's not like the "old days". We have found a "well timed" nuc is by far the most dependable and productive unit. We quit packages years ago because our buildup is so erratic and I always figured it took the first medium just to pay for the package. 8 frames of brood by the third week in May is where we expect them to be.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Got to hang out with Sam Comfort at NEOBA's Big Bee Buzz this past weekend. While he no longer migrates his bees, he's about as commercial as you can get. And he has essentially come to do what I suggested a treatment-free commercial would have to. He has become stationary, though he now has bees in seven states. And he sells honey for amazing prices, as much as three times what I sell it.
He also runs mostly non-Lang hives, topbar hives, and now Warre-ish box hives.
Great guy to hang out with.
Is he retailing his honey? Maybe a special contract with Whole Foods... or something like that? Is honey the majority of his Gross? If honey was all I did... my gross would be more than cut in half, but then again... I am not in an amazing honey yield area. I wonder how much of his gross is speaking engagements... maybe nothing... but he is very popular.
I have no argument that he is commercial... just curious about how he does it.... guess I should have gone....(NEOBA) LOL
"If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."
I think he has hives in Florida, New York, Hawaii, and maybe New Jersey, maybe Vermont, I don't remember them all.
I'm not sure the exact routes of his sales, but he does refer to it as hustling, hard work. He also sells nucs, queens, and shook swarms.
Speakers (in the beekeeping world) don't get paid as much as you might think. It isn't politics.
Keeping hives in Hawaii is a good idea but must be a hardest to run a business.
I can just imagine telling customers " No I won't be available next month I get horrible cell phone reception at my Mauna Kea yard".

This dark, fast-paced, hard SF novel returns to the story begun in Starfish: all… (più)
Read Starfish
Maelstrom and Behemoth the whole rifters trilogy a good mix of hard SF mixed with a fish out of water (sorry folks had too) story. With a world so nuts the people are made even crazier. But like now it's people that make other people nuts. Strong characters and strong story.
Thoroughly enjoyed this title, and the rest of the Rifter series (Behemoth and Starfish). The characters are colourful, each believably quirky, or is that twisted? The environment is excellently rendered, undersea and on land, with added intensity provided by the depth of researched information woven into the story. Happy to strain my eyes sat up into the wee hours compelled to finish each once I'd started.

text: I own a 1988 Chevy Suburban, 2wd r10. every time I turn the key, after about 15 seconds it burns out the cooling fan motor relay. This part right here: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/bu...fan-motor-relay-by-bwd-part-r4005-relays.html After this relay burns out, there are no lights in the dashboard. no ignition, no click, no power. Also, it drains the battery. if I try to jumpstart it afterwards, I get an explosion of sparks when I hook up the alligator clamps to the terminal. Not fun. Here is a list of what I've tried so far: unplugged the blower motor ripped open the harness and dashboard, sifted through piles of multi-colored spaghetti, found nothing. (so far. more suggestions in this department are welcome) checked every fuse, none are blown. which makes no sense. why does it burn out the relay instead of a fuse or in-line fuse? I haven't recieved much help in the way of wiring diagrams, all of the ones I've found are really simple or partial and don't go very far in depth. Any help at all, or gut feelings, or comments are greatly appreciated! this thing's been out of commission for a month and a half. The damn thing doesn't even have an electric cooling fan. (or did it? maybe someone before me modded it.. I think it has a thermal clutch on the fan)

Baidu: Mobile Search Won't Cure What Ails It
Baidu's (BIDU) shares have dropped 7% since it announced earnings last week. The big issue for the company has been its falling profit margins, as the company spends hand over fist to transition from PC to Mobile. The problem: There's no guarantee that all that investment will translate into revenue.
T.H. Capital's Tian X. Hou and Gina Chen note that search is used differently by people on computers versus those on mobile devices. On a PC, the search-engine is often the go-to application for finding what they need online. But Hou and Chen believe search is not only just another app for a mobile user, it's an "in-case" app. That is, they only use it when they can't find what they want on their first choice apps.
The implications for Baidu are enormous, Hou and Chen says. They write:
...there could be a discrepancy between mobile phone coverage and the potential scale of revenue due to the fact that the role of search on mobile could be different than on PC. On PC, it is a general internet entry point that people almost use daily while on mobile, apps are the entrance points and search could be just one of many apps, which may not be used often. Therefore, Baidu search may have 100% mobile coverage or activation rate, but users may use it only occasionally. The lack of frequency may limit the potential scale of mobile search revenue.
According to Stifel's George Askew, Zim Yin and Steve Rubis, Qihoo 360 Technology (QIHU) recognizes the differences. In a report today that summarized their meeting with the company, they write:
Qihoo believes that mobile search represents PC based search applied to a mobile device. The company's opinion is that the mobile search experience (looking for a restaurant) is considerably different from PC based search (looking for a scientific paper). Qihoo is not focused on improving its mobile search browser (currently one exists with about 10 million users), but rather developing a mobile search app. The company's goal is to develop and launch a mobile search app focused on resolving issues related specifically to mobile search, for instance: (1) local search, (2) geo-targeting, and (3) character entry.
The downside: Qihoo is only aiming to launch the app during the first quarter of 2013. In the meantime, expect operating margins to fall in 2013, though the first quarter could represent the trough. Qihoo is scheduled to release its earnings on May 20, according to Yahoo!.
Shares of Baidu have dropped 0.8% to $85.19 today, after dropping 14.4% this year through April 30. Qihoo's stock has fallen o.9% today after gaining 15.5%.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen's biggest reason for being in Wellington this week is to win a rugby test - but today he was also recognised for a game they won last year - the Rugby World Cup final.
Hansen was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to rugby at a ceremony presided over by Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae at Government House.
Dame Margaret Bazley was invested as a member of the Order of New Zealand - this country's highest honour - and former rugby league international and events organiser Dean Lonergan was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
Hansen took over as All Blacks coach from Sir Graham Henry following last year's World Cup win and is preparing the team for Saturday night's Rugby Championship match against Argentina at Westpac Stadium.
"It's a huge honour and a reflection on what the team's achieved and you accept it with humbleness," Hansen said. "And it's a reflection too for your family.
All the sacrifices they've made over the years when dad's not there or a partner's not there and it's as much theirs' as it is mine."
It was a family affair in the Lonergan household, with Lonergan's son and parents in Wellington to witness him receive his award.
Lonergan is rarely lost for words - he hosts a sports radio show - but struggled to articulate what the honour meant to him.
"It's flattering and humbling," he said. "It's not something I expected. I'm very flattered that someone even spent the time to put in a nomination for me."
Lonergan played 11 tests for the Kiwis between 1985 and 1991 but has made more of a name for himself as an event organiser and estimated he has raised close to $5 million for charities.
He's arranging 26 events over the next 18 months, including visits by former US vice president Al Gore, golfer Greg Norman, former world tennis No 1 Andre Agassi and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay as well as the next instalment of the Fight for Life charity boxing event.
More than 130 people are receiving honours at investiture ceremonies at Government House this week.


text: Saw this new flick with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx and must say it's one of the best I've seen this summer.........probably the best character I've seen Tom Cruise portray....Jamie is no slouch and holds up his end nicely. It's fast paced, has some scenes that are graffic, but necessary to the storyline. It wasn't just an action movie, but the characters are developed nicely with interesting dialogue between Cruise and Foxx.........I liked it better than "The Bourne Supremacy" and "The Manchurian Candidate"...........I give it a "thumbs up"......42

Well I only got a couple 9mm models. One is just like other mags with the button that locks in the center of the bottom plate, another has tabs on the bottom of the body bent over in notches of the bottom plate, and another has a leg off the spring that comes out the side to lock the bottom plate on by hooking in a notch.
If none of these help, or no one else can, post a pic and I'm sure we can figure it out.

Wow, what a bad call at the end of the PSU vs virginia game. The refs just gave PSU a free play that could end up giving them the game. They stopped the clock on a play that should not have at all.
*edit* I am almost glad he missed the game winning FG. The refs tried to give that game to PSU with that bad call. I hope those refs hear it from the conference.

I was hugely relieved to learn this New Year that we hadn't run out of bananas.
It was predicted the world would be banana-less by now. Ten years ago this month New Scientist's cover proclaimed: "The world's favourite fruit is about to disappear".
The BBC reported: "Edible bananas may disappear within a decade if urgent action is not taken to develop new varieties resistant to blight."
Last week, the Herald reported the feared banana apocalypse never eventuated. Indeed, we are enjoying more bananas than ever before. It was great news and I have been delighting in bananas ever since.
The great banana scare of 2003 originated with Belgian scientist Dr Emile Frison. The good doctor was worried that consumer wariness of genetic modification was hindering the very research needed to prevent bananas going the way of the dodo. At the time, Frison headed a global consortium sequencing banana DNA.
Our fear of genetic modification is, in no small part, due to years of effort by Mark Lynas. By day he spent his years penning anti-GM tirades for Britain's Guardian newspaper and by night ripped up GM crops.
Lynas helped to create the image of demonic scientists making Frankenfoods and greedy corporations owning the world's crops only to starve the world's poor. He says the campaign to scare people witless over genetic modification was the most successful campaign he has ever been involved in.
Now, here's a happy coincidence. In the very week the banana was supposed to disappear Lynas addressed the Oxford Farming Conference regretting his anti-GM campaign. He apologised for being wrong. Turns out he was too busy campaigning to bother with the science. Challenged to do so, he quickly discovered the errors in his thinking.
His speech last week explained that GM means fewer pesticides, not more; benefits farmers, not corporations; is wanted and needed; and is safer and more efficacious than conventional plant-breeding techniques.
Science does that. It messes with beliefs. And upsets deep-rooted prejudices.
But fear sells. And sticks in our minds. We take for granted the glorious achievements of technology, science and capitalism. The predicted extinction of the banana was big news. Right around the world. The banana's glorious survival was hardly a media ripple.
Lynas' campaign against GM scared and mobilised the world. It wasn't hard to do. The headlines were easy and we are readily frightened by what we don't understand.
Worried New Zealanders demanded action. The Government responded by requiring risk and benefit analyses before field-testing a biotech crop. That has created a catch-22. Benefit analysis requires a field test. The field test requires a benefit analysis. Our government bureaucracy has locked New Zealand agriculture into the horse and cart and regulated the internal combustion engine out of existence.
Lynas' mea culpa won't have us breaking out the jet engines. The fear he has cultivated won't readily go away.
We've been genetically modifying bananas for 7000 years. We have bred a banana we like. And a banana that depends upon us. Our bananas haven't had sex since the start of recorded time. They have no seeds and bats no longer pollinate them. They depend on us to propagate them.
Vegans stuff themselves with the sugary, seedless, artificially-propagated bananas believing them natural. They really have no idea. They would choke on the original banana.
The bananas the vegans chew aren't what nature gave us. They're heavily genetically-modified. Not in a controlled way with scientists in a laboratory. But out in the field for thousands of years with farmers choosing the bananas that were good to grow and to eat.
We need all the science and all the technology we can possibly muster. It's not like science is bad and natural is good. More Germans died in 2011 from one batch of contaminated organic beansprouts than Ukrainians from the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster.
Imagine that: the worst nuclear disaster in history versus one crop of beansprouts. Organic they were, too.

The Ace in Atlantic City's Hand: Trump Plaza
The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino • Atlantic City, NJ
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Plaza Tower Room, Sundays through Thursdays between April 21 and June 20, 2013 ($54)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in a Plaza Tower Room, Fridays and Saturdays between April 26 and June 22, 2013 ($259)
- Combine Up to Five Vouchers to Extend Your Stay
The Destination
The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino is to Atlantic City what the Empire State Building is to New York—the pre-eminent skyline hotel has become a symbol of this shoreline playground and a must-visit for anyone hoping to capture the quintessential AC experience. The 906 rooms and 39 stories make quite an impression even from the highway. Along with top-rated gaming, The Trump Plaza makes more waves than the glistening Atlantic Ocean that fans its shores.
The Digs
The Trump Plaza comes with some distinct advantages when it comes to accommodations—namely that most of its guest rooms come with unobstructed bay or ocean views. True to its brand, each room is outfitted in a calming décor. Simmons Health Smart pillow-top mattresses provide the epitome of comfort, and all rooms feature an in-room safe, refrigerator, and flat-screen TVs wired for on-demand movies, digital music, and video games. Marble-clad bathrooms and large windows with sweeping water vistas round out the experience.
The Diversions
From the moment you step inside the marble entry ensconced in crystal chandeliers and rich tapestries, it's evident that "lavish" will be a buzzword for the majority of your stay. The velvet floor of the expansive casino offers thrills for patrons of all comfort levels—from penny slots and blackjack to roulette.
Indulgence finds a special home in the on-site spa where body treatments from massages to facials are administered by skilled professionals in a setting befitting of an indoor oasis. All-night revelers will find a haven at Jezebel's, the Plaza's night club. Foodies are also in luck: From the five-star dining at Max's Steakhouse to the casual fare in the more low-key 24 Central Cafe, there's a menu to sate any appetite, no matter how picky.
"The Trump aesthetic of ostentatious wealth is evident in the marble lobby and the designers have tried to echo the feeling in guest rooms, where dark paisleys and green stripes mix with gilded mirrors and glass tables on golden pillars."-- Read Fodor's Review of The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino

Stumped. 9 days ago I put a cloaking board on top of a brood nest, brought up some brood frames and resources and let it sit for 7 days. Yesterday I put the cloak board on blocking the bottom from the top to get the bees to make some queen cells above it. It is 100 degrees the past two days, the bees were very upset, bearding, I did not believe it was working; I took the board out 5 hours later.
This morning I wanted to take the cloake board and queen excluder off and put them back the way they were; there is a capped queen cell in the middle of the brood frame I had put up there 9 days ago> capped! Is this an emergency cell already in the making I missed? How could it appear so quickly and why? I'm pretty sure the queen was fine, the brood I put up was all stages including eggs obviously, now there is a capped queen cell, capped brood. Were they going to supercede her?
I did take it and put it in a queen castle with more resources but now wondering maybe they were not queen right to begin with and this could be a mistake.
But I also remember some of you saying bees make emergency queen cells all the time.. and if the queen could not get to it because of the queen excluder...

Oh Tomas....that was reallly bad, that fall on the quad was really horrible.
And...just like I said Evan was same old Evan...
Tomas is (unfortunately) same old Tomas as well. I like him as a skater SO much...and yet I am almost always left feeling frustrated for him. He has so many great qualities/
Kostner does not take from him anymore. With Frank Carrol now.
Evan's PCS the highest of any short program so far this year. Inflated to the point of ridiculous.
Verner now out of GP final more than likely.
So much for everything being oh so predictable. Most everyone predicted top 3 as being Lysacek/ Verner/ Mroz. Not exactly as it's turning out...
So many ppl predicted Evan would win this one. And looks like he will.

HPV DNA Testing for Cervical Cancer Screening
Cervical cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in the cervix. Fortunately, cervical cancer can be prevented if precancerous cell changes are detected and treated early.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary cause of nearly all cases of cervical cancer. HPV can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact. In most cases, the HPV virus is harmless and causes no symptoms. In fact, many young women who become infected with HPV are able to clear the infection through their own immune systems. However, certain high-risk types of HPV can cause cervical lesions. Over time, these may develop into cancer if untreated.
The Pap smear is used detect cancerous and precancerous cervical lesions. Unfortunately, the Pap smear has been associated with false negative rates in some cases. In a false negative, the test indicates the pap smear is normal when, in fact, there is an abnormality. Women with abnormal results need further testing.
The HPV test can be used in conjunction with the Pap test. The test determines the presence or absence of HPV and whether or not the HPV type present is the type that is associated with cancer.
The HPV Test
The HPV test is collected similar to a Pap smear. A cervical brush or other collection device is inserted into the cervix to collect cells for testing. This sample is then sent to the lab for evaluation.
A negative result means that high-risk, cancer-causing types of HPV were not detected. Therefore, your risk of developing high-grade cervical disease before your next routine visit is extremely low.
A positive HPV result may mean an increased risk of developing cervical cancer if the precancerous type is present. In this case, further examination will be needed in order to determine whether your cervix shows pre-cancerous or cancerous changes. If no changes are detected, you will be closely monitored to make sure that any changes are detected as early as possible. If precancerous changes are detected, you should know that several highly effective treatment options are available.
Screening Guidelines
General recommendations for cervical cancer screening:
- Between the ages of 21-65 years
- Stopping in women over 65 years old with normal testing in the past 10 years
- Ages 21-29 years—Pap smear every 3 years without HPV testing
- Ages 30-65 years—Pap smear and HPV testing every 5 years or Pap smear alone every 3 years
Each woman has individual circumstances and risk factors. Talk to your doctor about how often you should be screened for cervical cancer.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
To find out if HPV testing is right for you, be sure to ask your doctor the following questions on your next doctor visit:
- Am I a candidate for an HPV test as part of my cervical cancer screening program?
- Do you provide HPV testing as a follow-up to help clarify inconclusive Pap test results?
- If I have an inconclusive Pap test result, can you ask the lab to perform an automatic HPV test from the same Pap sample?
- Will my insurance cover the HPV test?
- Can I talk to you about questions I have about HPV and cervical cancer?

text: Print facebook twitter bubble The Path to Prosperity: A Blueprint for American Renewal House Budget Committee - Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Resolution Read Full Report Read Facts and Summary A Contrast in Visions For years, both political parties have made empty promises to the American people. Unfortunately, the President refuses to take responsibility for avoiding the debt-fueled crisis before us. Instead, his policies have put us on the path to debt and decline. The President and his party's leaders refuse to take action in the face of the most predictable economic crisis in our nation's history. The President's budget calls for more spending and more debt, while Senate Democrats – for over 1,000 days – have refused to pass a budget. This unserious approach to budgeting has serious consequences for American families, seniors, and the next generation. We reject the broken politics of the past. The American people deserve real solutions and honest leadership. That's what we're delivering with our budget, The Path to Prosperity. House Republicans are advancing a plan of action for American renewal. Our budget: Cuts government spending to protect hardworking taxpayers; Tackles the drivers of our debt, so our troops don't pay the price for Washington's failure to take action; Restores economic freedom and ensures a level playing field for all by putting an end to special-interest favoritism and corporate welfare Reverses the President's policies that drive up gas prices, and instead promotes an all-of the-above strategy for unlocking American energy production to help lower costs, create jobs, and reduce dependence on foreign oil. Strengthens health and retirement security by taking power away from government bureaucrats and empowering patients instead with control over their own care; Reforms our broken tax code to spur job creation and economic opportunity by lowering rates, closing loopholes, and putting hardworking taxpayers ahead of special interests. At its core, this plan of action is about putting an end to empty promises from a bankrupt government and restoring the fundamental American promise: ensuring our children have more opportunity and inherit a stronger America than our parents gave us.
