By Rob Kelly
Robin van Persie admits that he sometimes plans goal celebrations with his Arsenal team-mates - but then forgets them during matches!
The Dutch striker has had plenty of practice after netting 34 goals in 35 league matches in 2011, but says he is not as reliable when it comes to the party pieces he occasionally prepares with the squad.
"Only a couple of times when my kids were born did we speak about the celebrations," Van Persie told Arsenal Player before Christmas. "When Dina was just a couple of weeks old we said we would do the dummy or something like that.
"But besides that, people tell me I have to do this or that. Kieran Gibbs said to me last week that he had a really good one and that I had to do a funny one. Sometimes I say yes and I do promise it, but then I forget. You never know what you will do."
Two of Van Persie's most memorable celebrations this season came after his goals in Arsenal's 2-1 victory against Norwich in November, when he first swung an imaginary golf club and then did a chipping signal with his hand.
"It came up because I chipped [the ball for the second goal] and just wanted to make sure that everybody knew. Only joking!" Van Persie said.
"Me and Theo always speak about golf and sometimes play. Theo, by the way, is much better than me, but we do like it. Suddenly when I scored, he had a perfect cross and I had a tap-in, [the celebration for the first goal] was out of nothing really. We didn't really speak about it beforehand, it was just natural."

8 new faces on Milwaukee TV: Meet the freshman class of 2013
Shawn Patrick is three and out. So move on, people. He has.
As reported previously, the WITI-TV (Channel 6) morning show co-anchor who came here in 2010 did not have his contract renewed. But absence makes the heart grow fonder. People don't miss local on-air talent until they go away.
But viewer fascination with them perplexes me. Even Patrick is surprised.
"I have to admit," he wrote in a Facebook message, "I did not anticipate the amount of (viewers) asking where I went. It's really nice to see. I am definitely still living in the area and open to opportunities beyond TV news in both public relations and corporate communications."
Even the most stable newsroom has turnover. Yet personnel changes are my No. 1 reader query.
I get them every time some on-air talent finally gets to go on vacation. Actual departures often follow a sweeps month, so as not to disturb the "we are family" facade stations project to encourage viewer loyalty during ratings periods.
And when they're gone — in contract disputes or moving on to better opportunities — new faces appear to report on local stories and traditions that are often news to them.
Sometimes, new people just show up on the air.
When they arrive, I wonder the same thing you do: Who the bleep is that?
Sometimes stations send out news releases on their arrival. Sometimes the reporters and anchors take to social media to talk about themselves.
Below, I use information from both to introduce you to the Milwaukee television news freshman class of 2013.

text: Yes, you are correct. You can manually detune the head seek acoustics on the Deskstar using Hitachi Feature Tool and as far as the TiVo is concerned it is functionally equivalent to the Cinemastar. I also agree with C3 that the WD 1TB "Green" drive is currently the most ideal TiVo drive from a specification standpoint. But if you can get a significantly better price on the Deskstar it is also an acceptable and reliable TiVo upgrade drive.

What does anyone think about feeding dogs kidney beans with no spices or blackeyed peas again with no spices?
Asked by

- This question is closed.
Best Answer
Adding beans and peas to your dog's diet is alright, as long as it is done in moderation and your dog does not have a sensitive stomach. Some dogs don't do well digesting beans, so you may want to do a test run before stocking up on them.
Beans, peas, and other vegetables are a nice addition to a food, either homemade or a kibble, but they should never make up the majority of the dog's diet. Dogs are carnivores and their diet needs to primarily consist of meats, not vegetables or grains. Just beans and peas would, obviously, not be a balanced diet for a human, let alone a dog!

One Little Word from Stacey and Ruth at Two Writing Teachers and shared it with my third graders. I plan to do the same with my fourth graders on Thursday.
Last year, my word was balance. I think I did a pretty good job. I changed some things that I wanted to change, but there is still work to do. This year my word is reach.
I will reach inside myself and find time for quiet and understanding. I will spend time each day feeding my soul through reading, writing, yoga, walks, and hot cups of tea.
I will reach out to find joy in each day, especially those days that are wrought with hurriedness, busyness, and chaos. How can I not find joy when I spend my days with 29 inquisitive kids who still love to learn?
I will reach out to friends and family, making sure they know how important they are to me. In the same way, I will reach out to strangers, finding ways to extend kindness and graciousness.
I will stretch myself as I reach for new knowledge. I'm looking forward to some wonderful learning opportunities through my studies at OSU and with the Columbus Area Writing Project. It's important to me that I continue to learn from others in all facets of my life, not just my professional life.
Finally, I will reach for acceptance, acceptance that I can't do it all and that's OK. I will give myself a break from perfection, and striving to know it all, do it all, and be all. I will let myself struggle with new things and take myself a little less seriously. I will work towards continuing to grow into the best person I can be, for we are never really done are we?
What is your One Little Word?

Good for her. Her comeback since 2010 has been one of the best things about skating.
Good for her. Her comeback since 2010 has been one of the best things about skating.
The whole situation with her boyfriend must be very hard for her. They are going to have a lot to work on ... can't imagine how difficult it must be for her. The fuss in Italy is huge, his case is covered everywhere in the press and naturally, Carolina gets dragged into this. IMO she has handled this in a very clever way, keeping quiet the first 2 weeks and then just giving a very short statement at her press conference. As far as I know, further questions on his case were forbidden for the rest of the conference. I hope she can find a way to cope with all of this.
I think as time goes by, Italians and the press will hopefully stop associating her with his doping case. But I think for the next couple of months this is something she has to live with - everything she does will be referred to it.
Here is a video of the press conference she gave, one in German http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovNSs7x-IJ8 and one in Italian http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZSWyhgy3uw.
Apparently, paparazzi have also started following them, these photos were published in a magazine this week: http://www.oggi.it/focus/gallery/ale...cio/?pid=12580
Quite a fuss.
I am really, really looking forward to her show "Opera on Ice" next month! Great cast, great show and her performing with Stéphane will be so special. I hope they will release it on DVD again.
She and Lambiel are going to be skating to the aria 'Je veux vivre' from Romeo and Juliet.
Carolina said that she won't participate at gp because she wants a longer break and for preventing any possible injury. She is listed for the Golden Spin of Zagreb in december before nationals. She will probably concentrate on euros and worlds

P.D. James first noticed the book tucked away in the Sunday-school cupboard of Ludford Church. She was intrigued by its title, Pride and Prejudice, which seemed to offer greater promise than the book it sat next to, Jessica's First Prayer. So, at the age of 10, she picked up Jane Austen's cherished novel, and like millions of readers before and since, fell in love.
"It's strange, because you don't think of Jane Austen as being a writer children would enjoy. There's so much irony," says the mystery novelist, looking back on her Shropshire childhood. "Straight away, though, I was very interested in the girls and what they were getting up to – poor Elizabeth and all her difficulties."
She read the book when she was 10; she has written a sequel, in the form of a mystery novel called Death Comes to Pemberley, 81 years later. It does make the rest of us seem a bit slothful by comparison.
Throughout the busy, difficult, intervening decades, she's had two passions, apart from her family: reading the novels of Jane Austen and writing her own detective stories. Two years ago, on the cusp of 90 and having completed The Private Patient, which may be the last novel to feature her cerebral detective Adam Dalgliesh, she was casting around for something reasonably quick to write. The thought of beginning a book and not completing it filled her with dread: "I'd hate it if I left something unfinished and someone else tinkered with it," she says with the briskness of a woman who's spent 50 years writing about the unexpected and often violent arrival of death.
Now, sitting in the well-appointed reception room of her West London house in front of a pot of tea ("I shouldn't think it's ready to pour yet, dear. It's the colour of straw"), James contemplates the act that seemed, until recently, almost a sacrilege: Why not continue the story of Elizabeth Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy and their various relations … and stir things up with a nice, juicy murder?
After all, the constraints of a Georgian novel of manners and the restrictions of the mystery genre seemed to mesh nicely. As well, she'd noticed an odd trend: The sense of lèse-majesté she'd felt about intruding on beloved characters was not shared by other writers. They were taking her beloved Pride and Prejudice and turning it upside down; painting a mustache on Austen, if you will.
"I hadn't realized there were about 70 previous sequels," she says. "Zombies and sexual goings-on and the most extraordinary things! I think Austen would be pretty fed up about those."
On the surface, Death Comes to Pemberley seems a reassuringly conventional English mystery. Elizabeth and Darcy have been married for six years, and have two small boys, when the unexpected arrival of feckless George Wickham and his foolish bride Lydia cast a bloody and violent shadow over the Darcys' idyllic life. The pages are filled with gloved barbs worthy of Austen, such as this: "There are few activities so agreeable as spending a friend's money to your own satisfaction and benefit."
But underneath the restrained surface is a much darker current – of blackmail, abandonment, madness – which you might expect from one of the world's great mystery writers, a woman who once admitted she was "obsessed with death" from childhood. More than that, James uses Death in Pemberley to examine the plight of women, whose lives were entirely dependent on the success of the marriages they made.
James has done the world the immeasurable favour of giving Mr. Darcy an inner life (let's face it, ladies, he's always been a cipher – a frock-coated blank screen for the projection of female desires). She has also taken Lizzie in unexpected directions: In James's rendering, she is pragmatic, clear-eyed about the benefits of having married a wealthy man and "not made for poetry." For some devotees of Pride and Prejudice, these will be fightin' words.
"Do you know, I did have a letter already from one young man who said, 'We must believe Elizabeth would only marry for love,' " says James, finally deciding the tea is ready. "And that is true, but I don't think she would permit herself to fall in love with someone who was utterly unsuitable. One has to realize how vitally important it was that Elizabeth or [her sister]Jane made marriages that would provide for their mother and their sisters. If anything happened to Mr. Bennet, they would have been turned out of Longbourn."
She stirs the tea, and offers a biscuit. "Austen was aware, absolutely aware, of the importance of money. Until she became successful, two or three years before she died, she lived entirely at the bounty of her father and her brothers." In her memoirs, James described Austen's writing style, quite beautifully, as "controlled resentment."
It's tempting to look for reflections of her own life in her examination of the underpinnings of a successful fictional marriage. Baroness James of Holland Park (Phyllis to her friends) would almost certainly dismiss this as feeble psychology, but she is the child of an unhappy marriage, and her own marriage was full of challenges: Her husband, a doctor, was profoundly changed after the war and spent much of his life in mental institutions. She raised her two daughters on her own, while living with her in-laws and working as a senior civil servant. She wrote her first novel, Cover Her Face, before and after work, and on the weekends between trips to visit her husband in hospital. (He died in 1964, and she has written about him only sparingly, and always lovingly.)
At 91, she hardly seems worn down by a life that would exhaust lesser women. Elegantly dressed in a grey turtleneck, with her walking stick at her side, she is exceptionally good company, cracking jokes about footballers' wives and how much nicer passports used to look. She still sits in the House of Lords as a Tory peer, and does the occasional reading and BBC broadcast, and is the matriarch of a brood that includes seven great-grandchildren. Only family photos adorn her sitting room – there are no awards, no grip-and-grins with other famous folk.
On this evening, she does have a date with a famous man: She's off to a reception given by the Prime Minister at 10 Downing St. Rising from the sofa, she reveals that, although women's lives have improved immeasurably in the past 200 years, some of their concerns have not. "My dear," she says, "I have no idea what to wear."Report Typo/Error

Drywall Repair for moved can lights
Greetings - I am a first time poster. I am trying to repair two 6" round holes in my kitchen ceiling due to recessed lighting that was moved.
I've already cut-out the two circles and installed them. They are screwed into some wood strips to hold them tight into the ceiling.
I should mention that my ceiling is a orange peel spray finish and it is a very thin coat.
How would you finish the job? I am hoping to not use tape to finish the small gap because the finish is so thin to begin with. Could I fill the gap with some type of caulk? I also don't want it just gob in compound only to have it crack later. Any tips on matching the orange peel finish?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
You said,"I don't want to........" If that mean you" won't " then there is no answer available.
To repair this correctly---Pack the cracks with Durrabond---tape the cracks with setting compound--
That's the All purpose with a green lid---then use topping compound (blue lid/light weight) usually 12 " wide or more.
Yup. You will be dissapointed if you do not mud and tape the repairs.
Get yourself some 20 minute Durabond and fiber tape. Tape the joint, mix the 20 minute and push into any space on the first coat. Scrape all excess from around the repair down to the tape. Take a blow dryer and heat area evenly until all areas have turned white. Lightly sand. Apply second coat using 20 minute Durabond. This time apply 6" around the repair covering the tape with a thin layer of mud. Blow dry and lightly sand again. Apply a third coat now feathering the repair 12" out. Dry and sand. It should be ready to apply your texture and paint. Using an activated compound with mesh tape will ensure a long lasting patch. The other benefit is you are done and ready to go in a few hours. Using standard compounds require you to use paper tape which are much harder to cover, requiring more compound and a wider feathering.
Hi Mike,
I just want to advise you that you shouldn't be referring to the types of mud by the color of the box or pail. Here in BC things are different.
Yellow = Taping (lots of glue)
Blue = All purpose
Green = Finish
Red = Specialty
Grey = Specialty
Orange = Spantex
Obviously there is a different color system in different areas with different manufacturers.
I'll try to change my descriptions---Mike----
Ever heard the expression "the blind leading the blind?" That's what I think of when I read some of the posts on here.
First of all don't use a hair dryer on any compound ever! Especially on 20 min durabond. It's a waste of time. Durabond sets up chemically so adding heat and air to it does absolutely nothing. Using it to speed up drying type compound (pre mixed) is even worse an idea. The product is made to dry on it's own. Let it! Rushing things by means of methods not intended by the manufacturer with drywall compounds or any other product out there is just plain hack and results in poor workmanship.
Secondly, any time you are faced with a drywall repair where there is a hole, crack, deep dent, face paper peel, etc YOU NEED TAPE! Do yourself a big favor and use paper tape. It doesn't matter that your texture is thinly layered. You have to build it out and feather it. If your new at taping you might have to feather it three feet wide to get it perfect. Thats just part of life. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that to cover a 6" patch you need to feather it 12"- not gonna happen it's going to have to be wider to make it look unnoticeable.
And lastly- use durabond to prefill the gaps first and that's it. Tape and finish with premix. Durabond is harder for a beginner to work with. You want it in the gaps for strength, Thats it.
Remember when you're putting on each coat to focus on building up the areas around the tape, not directly over the tape. It's easy for a beginner to still notice a visible hump after 2 coats and want to go over the middle again and again....don't. Your tape ideally shouldnt have any more than a 1/16" layer of compound over it.
You're going to notice those patches forever so take my advice and give up on trying to find a cheap "I don't want to tape it can't I just use caulk" alternative. And just do it the right way, the way that myself and many other experienced drywall contractors have done it, to tens of thousands of patches.
You can also leave the pan dirty (leaving a small amount of the set compound in your pan), and mix your new batch in this pan. This will also accelerate the process.
Mixing with cold water will slow the reaction and mixing with warm will speed it up.
There are many painters and drywall contractors who use these methods. The are sound methods and nothing to fear.
www. paintinganddecoratingconcourse. com/articles/Repairing-Torn-Drywall.html
You can also go over to ContractorTalk.com and search this topic. You will find plenty of pros using these techniques. Just don't post the question there, as it is for contractors.
BTW I am a General Contractor, not just some noob. I have been in the business for many many years. So there is no blind leading the blind.
Rob1975 is right, adding heat to a chemical reaction will usually speed it up.(There are exceptions, always) There is sound science behind it, not a case of the blind leading the blind.
When I move recessed downlights from one position to another I would.
Cut the new hole for the lighting, screw this newly cut disc to a piece of timber a couple of inches longer than the diameter of the old lighting hole, fix this in place with screws and fill the gap with "dot and dab" board adhesive.
When dry I would use a fine filler to fill and to achieve the orange peel effect use some old thick paint and a deep pile roller.

Fox News mainstays and tea-party superstars Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are joining forces for a big-ticket event in Anchorage, Alaska, on Sept. 11. Ostensibly, it's just a "coincidence" that this right-wing pep rally is happening on such an auspicious date.
Tickets reportedly range from $73.75 to $225. And as Gawker pointed out Thursday, it's not clear where the proceeds will go at this point. —KA
Associated Press via The Anchorage Daily News:
The show originally featured only Beck, a popular Fox News Channel personality, according to Christopher Cox, the Anchorage-based promoter of the event. Cox later thought of adding the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, and she agreed to it, he said.
Cox said the date of the event is a coincidence. Cox originally was eyeing Sept. 4, but did not want to compete with the Alaska State Fair, and moved the date to a week later, which worked out better for Beck as well.
"And you know what, it's a great date for me, for America, for Alaska," Cox said.

As to the latter commerical cases, both resulted in our favor, and therefore we achieved an extremely favorable settlement . The non-judicial case is pending and the owner has not been successful in obtaining possession in the the unlawful detainer action for four months. In fact, the owner has not yet been able to get a trial date. Mr. Elwell is excellent in understanding the problem and applying the law at the beginning so we have saved both time and money.

Size chips away at Moore's lead
The John Size mid-season surge expected by many in the past two months didn't really eventuate, but the Australian trainer managed to make some minor inroads into the championship lead with Rich Unicorn and Sapelli.
The double took him to 34 wins and 11 behind leader John Moore, while only Tony Cruz landed a victory of the three trainers ahead of him on the table, but for Sapelli (Olivier Doleuze), his narrow win over Victor Delight in the 1,800m Amber Handicap was fitting reward for some consistent recent form.
Sapelli's last win was in April last year, but this season he has returned a cheque in all but two of his 10 starts, the latest two finishing second over 1,600m.
'He is super consistent, very honest, and those sorts of horses really deserve to win a race,' said Size. 'But it isn't that easy to do because they do need to lift their rating to be successful. Today he got a decent tempo and the extra 200m on the mile races he's been in lately and he took advantage of the opportunity.'
Although last to the turn, Doleuze said he made a point of coming out and starting his run a little early on the five-year-old.
'The pace was the main concern but when he got that, I just wanted to make sure he got a proper chance to run at them because he tries very hard,' he said. 'I think he enjoyed the jar being out of the track today, too.'
Size said the Group Three Premier Plate on March 20 over the same distance looked a logical step for the gelding now.
'It's a step up but hopefully there will be some highly rated horses in it and Sapelli will get in with a light handicap.'
Rich Unicorn had let punters down when fourth up the straight last start, but they were prepared to give him a chance again yesterday returning to racing around a turn and he won for the third time in six starts with some authority.
'Face value, he was disappointing up the straight, but I think that there was a bias to the outside draw horses on the day that played against him,' Size said. 'The market today suggested plenty of people were putting his defeat down to that bias and he's justified that.'
Whyte agreed, saying he expected Rich Unicorn to bounce back after his fifth behind Mr Celerity.
'In that race, we drew in, jumped well and I dropped him in to track Blaze King, who led over towards the centre,' he recalled. 'I thought he was in a good spot until I looked up just after the point where the straight track joins the main track and saw we were six lengths behind the outside ones. He tried hard but he was no chance from there. And I think the turn suits him better anyway - you can put him to sleep and give him the opportunity to sprint home.'

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Colcrys
USES: This medication is used to prevent or treat gout attacks (flares). Usually gout symptoms develop suddenly and involve only one or a few joints. The big toe, knee, or ankle joints are most often affected. Gout is caused by too much uric acid in the blood. When uric acid levels in the blood are too high, the uric acid may form hard crystals in your joints. Colchicine works by decreasing swelling and lessening the build up of uric acid crystals that cause pain in the affected joint(s).
This medication is also used to prevent attacks of pain in the abdomen, chest, or joints caused by a certain inherited disease (familial Mediterranean fever). It is thought to work by decreasing your body's production of a certain protein (amyloid A) that builds up in people with familial Mediterranean fever.
Colchicine is not a pain medication and should not be used to relieve other causes of pain.
OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.
This medication may also be used to reduce swelling and inflammation of the sac that covers the outside of the heart, a condition called pericarditis.
HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking colchicine and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions regarding the information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth with or without food, exactly as directed by your doctor. Dosing recommendations vary widely and may be different from the following recommendations. Taking more than the recommended dose may not increase this drug's effectiveness and may increase your risk for side effects. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
If you are taking this medication to treat a gout attack, carefully follow the directions given by your doctor. This medication works best if you take it at the first sign of an attack. The recommended dose is 1.2 milligrams at the first sign of an attack, followed by 0.6 milligrams one hour later. The maximum recommended dose is 1.8 milligrams taken over a 1-hour period. Ask your doctor ahead of time about how soon you can repeat treatment with this medication if you have another gout attack.
If you are taking this medication to prevent gout attacks or for pericarditis, ask your doctor about the dose and schedule you should follow. Carefully follow your doctor's directions.
If you are taking this medication to prevent attacks of pain caused by familial Mediterranean fever, the usual dose is 1.2 to 2.4 milligrams daily. The total dose may be taken once daily or divided into two doses a day. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose to control your symptoms or if you have side effects.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, other drugs/foods you may be taking, and response to treatment. To reduce your risk for serious side effects, do not increase your dose, take it more frequently, or take it for a longer time than directed by your doctor. Serious side effects may occur even at usual prescribed doses.
If your doctor directs you to take colchicine regularly, use it regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day.
Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while being treated with this medication unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Grapefruit can increase the amount of certain medications in your bloodstream. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
If you are taking this medication to treat symptoms due to familial Mediterranean fever, tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.

What happens when flat, smooth foundation is used? Does it work, or do the bees really need the hexagonal indentations to build upon?
What happens when flat, smooth foundation is used? Does it work, or do the bees really need the hexagonal indentations to build upon?
not sure where these ideas come from?
Not sure what they would do with a flat sheet of wax. I suspect they need the indentions to get started drawing it out at all.
If you want to let them draw out the comb with the sizes they want to build, you can just use a starter strip of foundation. That is a topic all to itself, and there are many threads about that on Beesource, if you are interested.
If you are just starting out, my personal opinion is that you should start with wax foundation.
I'm in my second year, and just did my first harvest. So, I have some wax. I like the idea of foundationless frames and will explore that, but I figured that if I could easily make flat foundation, and it would work, then it would save the girls some work!
Through 120 Million years of evolution the bees have been getting along just fine, the last 100 years humans have come along wanting to fix what is not broken, and lend Nature a hand. I am not sure this will play out well in the end.
It would be cheap and easy to make - just curious what would happen.
Beekeeping With Twenty-five Hives: https://www.createspace.com/4152725
I believe M Bush tried that. I believe that his conclusion was bee preference was. foundationless, embossed foundation. smooth foundation then the plastics at the lower end. I have also considered it but will not go with it for that reason.
Old Guy in Alabama
They will work it, but slowly. It is much faster to let them build foundationless. You are doing them no favors.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
When Mehring first made foundation in 1857 it was a flat, dipped sheet with indentions of the cell bottoms, and no cell walls as we have on foundation today. Being dipped it was thick at the bottom of the sheet and thinner at the top. The angle of the cell bottoms was wrong so the bees had to rework all the foundation before making cells on it. In 1895 E. B. Weed made a machine to make foundation in a continuous sheet of uniform thickness, and roller mills were made to form the cell pattern with the 120 degree angle in the base and beginning cell walls. These improvements made foundations that the bees preferred, and trying to re-think the process today is not a profitable use of time.
The older issues of the American Bee Journal and the Bee Culture magazine tell the story of the 1800s beekeepers developing the management techniques we use today, and anyone can read and see the evolution in thought and management practices. They argue over many of the same subjects that we do today. One thing stands out, the beekeepers of that period were tight with a dollar. They were interested in profit. They were in search of the most efficient techniques. If comb foundation was not a benefit to them they would not have used it.
Hobby beekeepers like myself can piddle and play with keeping bees, we can try new things (at least things that are new to us, almost everything has been tried by someone before) but as a group, we seem to have become very gullible. A statement is made, and then is repeated until it becomes truth. How often do we try a procedure for ourselves before we accept it as fact? I see statements about management techniques made on Beesource that contrary to my experience, but that can be explained because of differences in location and the strain of bees being used. I also see statements made about historical beekeeping practices that are half-truths, and that is harder to explain. We should make an effort to study our beekeeping history so that we can give as accurate information as possible, and we should not repeat what we read on the net until we have tried it several time and found it accurate. If we do pass along information/recommendations that we have not checked ourselves, we should say that we have not tried it and let the reader beware.
When anyone reads my posts, be assured I will do my best to be accurate, but don't believe it as though it is carved in stone. Try everything for yourselves in your area with your bees and prove or disprove it, then you can pass along to others what you have learned with confidence that it will work for them.

State-by-State Map: Where Migrant Children Are Placed
During the first six months of this year, 4,280 children awaiting deportation proceedings were placed with families in Texas. Just one went to Montana.
The uneven distribution of children can be traced to the uneven distribution of Central American families. Children who travel to the U.S. illegally alone from countries other than Mexico and Canada are placed with sponsors, usually their families, while awaiting deportation proceedings to unfold.
With the influx of these unaccompanied minors, many states have expressed interest or concern about the number of children being placed in their states. Earlier this week, the White House hosted a conference call for governors, explaining that privacy restrictions do not allow them to notify governors when individual children are placed with families in their states. But some governors have expressed alarm nonetheless that they were not told how many children have been placed in their states.
After that, the Department of Health and Human Services, which places the children, released a state by state tally.
Here are some data on the children being apprehended at the border — and the states where children end up living in the U.S.

Where Children Are Housed
Here are data showing, state-by-state, where the children have been placed, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency responsible for caring for unaccompanied immigrant children. Data are for Jan. 1, 2014 through July 7, 2014.

MH keeps saying "TT was a steal when we re-signed him....couldnt pass that up".....BULL****!!! it ****ed us for multiple years and left us with NO depth and jobber free agents. It was a waste of a few million dollars. we LITERALLY PISSED AWAY MONEY. how was that worth it??
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
I basically just someone to say I was right when i flipped out for signing TT. I said it was the worst signing of the offseason, and everyone argued with me lol
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
He's like the top 5 worst in the league. The reason Rolle isn't back there is not because we are thin at certain positions, its because he's horrible in coverage. Dude gets burned all the time. The Giants moved him down to the LOS because he was getting torched everywhere else. Check out some of those games.
With KP, people would just ignore his side of the field. Plus Rolle is terrible value for us. You don't pay someone 8 mil to tackle. At least with KP we can maybe get a bargain on him with his injury history.

Ashes to Ashes
My little brother was one of those kids fascinated with geological catastrophes (and Star Trek, but that's another story), and he had all of those Time-Life books about volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tornadoes and other fire-and-brimstone-type events throughout history. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius was one of his all-time favorite calamities, and I, too, was fascinated with the myriad pictures of well-preserved corpses found under mountains of ash in Pompeii. Despite all of that exposure to the story of Vesuvius, I never knew that the damage done by the volcanic eruption in 79 A.D. extended to towns other than Pompeii. In fact, the nearby town of Stabiae met a similar fate that day. Stabiae was an upscale resort town for the Roman elite, sort of like the French Riviera for the toga set. When it was buried under ash and cinders, high-quality ancient frescoes dating back to 89 B.C. were perfectly preserved, as were a number of other artifacts and objects. The relics of Stabiae paint a vivid picture of what life was like for wealthy and powerful Romans. In From the Ashes of Vesuvius, In Stabiano: Exploring the Ancient Seaside Villas of the Roman Elite, the Dallas Museum of Art presents maps of the town, excavation photographs and the aforementioned high-quality frescoes and objects through October 7 in the J.E.R. Chilton Galleries at the museum (1717 N. Harwood St.). Visit dallasmuseumofart.org for more information.

I love a good silver nail polish, so when I came across Butter London Lillibet's Jubilee, I had to give it a go. I would describe this color as a silver foil with a slight purple undertone to it. I absolutely love it. This may not look very unique in the photo, but I haven't come across a ton of silvers with this sort of purple hue to them.
natural light, 2 coats
The formulation of this was really good, one coat was almost enough! This was one of those polishes that, over the last few days, I have found myself constantly glancing at on my own nails... it's that pretty!
Do you like silver polishes? Which is your favorite?

Set in São Paulo, Brazil, where Payne is working in the private security sector for a wealthy local family, set eight years after the events of the second game.
Excellent game. The story and the characters are not nearly as tightly written as the previous two games, but for coming from a completely different developer, it is still an amazing experience. Easily the best third-person shooter I have ever played gameplay wise. Great gameplay, amazing visuals, it's all up to Rockstar's par of quality. Unfortunately, Max Payne fans generally do not like this game because of the difference in tone, and Rockstar fans generally do not like this because it's not open world. I'm fortunately a great fan of both and can appreciate the effort Rockstar took to take homage to the original games while still making it their own project. That is absolutely the best way to explain this game; it's a Max Payne game, but it is Rockstar's Max Payne.
+Gameplay. Bullet time seems to run out quicker forcing you to use the cover system in many instances. Some may think its not as run-and-gun but I found it made you think more tactically, choosing when to use what kind tactic. Using cover and picking enemies off, jumping out guns blazing or dodging and shooting if you can take out the last few. The damage on enemies makes them respond realistically, and I also like the melee attacks and how Max holds his secondary weapon in his left hand, also I appreciate separating the shoot dodge and roll (eventhough its awkward trying to go into cover after rolling).
+The Showdown mechanic, where a shot that would have killed you instead drains out all your bullet time to go slow motion giving you a chance to kill the enemy before you die. If you kill him your saved. It feels odd to rely on this to avoid death. However it ends up turning into a clumsy attempt at trying to cover the issue of headshots killing you, so you end up relying on the Showdown mechanic to much.
+- A change that some may appreciate and many probably won't, is the limit to 2 dual wielding weapons and 1 secondary (two-handed gun). I never like limiting weapon use but given that the game is taking a more realistic route I don't mind so much mainly because dual wielding is what its all about.
+Visuals, the city is beautiful, physics and destruction to the things you shoot at. Its not noir anymore, and the comic book style cutscenes have been replaced with these discoloured or zoomed in shots in regular cutscenes, with occasional popouts of words said kinda of like everything has happened already and Max is only seeing fragments of memories. I liked it but I think it was overused a bit.
-Headshots kill you
-Very few guns
-Shoot Dodge uses to much bullet time.
-Max's Character, hes all brooding, nihilistic old bastard. He spends almost all of his dialogue complaining, self hatred & seems to have a death wish. While it does seem like Max as a character with no one he cares about left alive, seems like a natural evolution, what made the series work before was not just his cynicism and metaphors, it was the fact he was a good guy underneath all that.. having something to fight for.
Nihilists on the other hand are self absorbed (which I'm alright with) but they also complain alot. We hate having to listen them go on, unless its something they keep inside of themselves.
Not just that, but alot of people can't relate to the whole drinking problem thing. What exacerbates the problem is we never get to see him try and see the lighter side of things. It make sense to me that after losing everyone he cares about and killing so many, he would no longer be able to live like a normal person but theres not even a single moment where he enjoys himself. We need a silver lining at the end of it all to make it worth caring about all the strife he goes through.
A change of scenery, a new pair of bad guys, but it just seems like hes doomed to repeat history. Never being able to be normal again, and no one left alive that can slap some sense into him to set his priorities straight. The exception of Bravura, but him and Max weren't exactly in the best of terms.
-The only reason why I enjoyed the game is because of the gameplay, and whatever connection I had to the protagonist was because of what I knew of him from previous games & the voice actors attempt to add personality to a otherwise bland story & characters.
-Max's looks. If they thought Max is your every man that the look could appeal to, they chose the wrong game and he doesn't really look like Bruce Willis yet they gave him that look half way into the game.
Max speaks in metaphors and is way to cynical to be your average man.
If you go into the game not expecting a Max Payne sequel, I see it as a continuation of Max's life, different developer starting a new story (and not a very good one), then you might enjoy it if you don't mind the negatives.
Excellent game with more variation in the scenarios and a lot more violent, i just wish there were more new jersey levels or flashbacks of the previous games levels, but is still fine.
I have to say, this game is really fun, it has great graphics, gruesome and fast-paced gameplay... It's a very good game all in all.
But then, why didn't you give it a ten!?
Because it seems to bave been made for people who have no idea what Max Payne means: they practically ruined the original idea, they ruined the character, they ruined the story, and they are giving people the wrong concept of what Max Payne is and means. I most probably may have given it a ten if it was a new game, and not Max Payne.
You're WRONG! Max Payne 3 rulz lololol
This is what I'm talking about. When you ask people about the game, they don't think of the first or second games, hell no. They only think of the third one, because that's the one the Rockstar made and put on their faces saying 'This is Max Payne'.
I've seen a lot of reviews talk about Max Payne 3 as awesome o great or whatever, but they only take the graphics and the bullet holes into account. They don't care about the story or the character or whatever has come before. Almost no one seems to have remembered the original Max when Rockstar's version came out, and that's kind of indignating. I have proof that this is true: a lot of my friends have bought Max 3 but when it came to the originals they had no idea what you were talking about. Rockstar has basically killed what it was all about.
Rant off, I'm done.
Maybe The Best of Max Payne
Well, this is an awesome game, let me just say that off the bat. It has wonderful visuals, great story, smooth gameplay as always, and the slo-mo diving and shooting has never felt better with the new Euphoria engine. And for once in a long time, it feels like it was made for PC, it isn't a ****** console port, it runs just fine on my high-end PC, which I couldn't say the same for about GTA IV. The Campaign may have been a bit short, but it makes up for it with it's expansive multiplayer, which isn't just a gimmick, it works, and it works well. It's tons of fun to dive out windows and shoot your friends in the face, and social club is actually helpful for gathering up friends and getting them in-game. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because the modding capabilities of the previous games are gone, and that is something I would have like to see. Don't believe the critics, this game holds up to, and even surpasses the other games on most levels.
The plot is Max has to protect a bunch of rich folks in São Paulo Brazil.
Spoilers: tsom fo meht eid
Didn't care much for the characters.
Rodrigo Branco is a likeable guy. Then you have his gold-digging wife Fabiana. His politician brother Victor and other brother Marcelo a spoiled partier. And Giovanna who is Fabianna's sister "the good sister". She is kinda likeable also.
The gunplay is fun and satisfying for the most part.
But it is also flawed. I have a hard time seeing the tiny crosshair which is just a white dot.
The cover system sucks. Best to crouch behind objects than to attach to walls.
There is an overuse of cutscenes that cant be skipped until the game is done loading apparently. The game tries very hard to be a movie. Whats worst you can pause the cutscenes. Yeah i just love cutscenes you cant skip but you can pause. Plus you cant quit the game until the cutscene is over.
What sucks even more is that Max has a habit of switching back to your one-handed weapon each time, and also likes to charge into dangerous situations. So imagine having only 8 bullets and Max charges in a gunfight like an idiot instead of letting the player strategically decide how and when to engage.
It also gets pretty annoying with the constant wave of enemies.
There is a cycle that repeats. Cutscene, action, walking, cutscene, action, walking.
A cool thing are the collectibles. You can collect "clues" in the game and Max will narrate something.
You can also collect pieces of gold weapons which will turn a weapon golden.
So you'd think the game encourages exploration right? Wrong. The game is on a time limit. If you stop for too long you can get a mission failed. What ********.
There is a twist in the end. But its nothing amazing or surprising. It just deals with corruption.
The most important component to make the game work I think was making gameplay both modern and classic, and they made a great mix. Graphics is obviously even beyond expectations. Music's appropriately stylish and definitely not annoying. Weapons are OK, but I missed some loud guns like Jackhammer or M79. Minigun is always cool too, but maybe it would make things less realistic though. I think, the game is at least as good as first 2 parts, dynamic and overall enjoyable.
Insanely good game that i fell right into. Music sets you in the right mood - you can feel when Max is angry, sad or hopeless. It is a great continuation of the series and a great closure of the trilogy

I Hadn't Really Thought About It That Way
via Cristiano Ronaldo (WARNING: Many images NSFW… or the faint of heart about boobies and other ladybits)
So. I was watching Four Weddings the other night (Fridays, 10:00, 9:00 Central on TLC) and was quite intrigued with one couple: Rachel and Brad. They were actors who put together a rather gloriously OTT wedding. There were bagpipes and air horns at least one acrobat, and handfasting done with sparkly ribbons, and the groom vowing never to smoke another cigarette. In fact, Mr. Twistie and I both agreed it was one we wished we could have gone to… and when Mr. Twistie gets as enthusiastic about a wedding as to want to be there, well, you know it's a party.
Anyway, one of the less than conventional decisions that Rachel and Brad made was to have their wedding rings tattooed on rather than going the more common route of buying metal bands. Fair enough. Not my thing, but then needles wig me out on an epic level. Mr. Twistie, too. We would happily live in a universe where needles never, ever, ever get inserted into human flesh. But it wasn't our decision to make. It was Brad and Rachel's decision, and they chose to have ink on their hands.
In the opening interview, Rachel talked about how much more practical this is because you can't accidently lose your ring. After all, a marriage is supposed to last a lifetime. She called it 'more functional.'
Okay. Of course I know a lot more couples who have gotten divorced than have lost their wedding rings, but I can see where she's coming from and have no beef with her reasoning or her reasons. It's her finger. She gets to determine whether it bears a ring, a tattoo, or nothing at all.
When I started getting it as a cool thing was during the ceremony. The happy couple was asked to explain their choice to their guests. So what did Brad say?
It's a blood oath, and the only tattoo that will ever adorn my body.
Dayum! Now that's the sound of a committed groom!
How could Rachel top that? One simple declarative sentence:
You're in my flesh forever.
Will Rachel and Brad live happily ever after? Will they always be happy with their decision to opt for ink over gold? Those are questions I cannot answer. All I know is they're going in expecting forever and refusing to be anyone but themselves.
And you know what? I think that gives them at least two and a half legs up on people who don't enter marriage precisely that way.

In the Kitchen With Jeanette Friedman: Kugel with a Kick
Jeanette Friedman of New Milford walked into the kitchen of ABC's "The Taste" with a sparkly purple headband, a hope that she would be picked for Anthony Bourdain's team ("we're both from Jersey") and zingers like this one:
"I've never cooked under this kind of pressure before in my life, because Jewish food is slow food. It's like the Pointer Sisters. You need a slow hand and a lover's touch."
During "The Taste" auditions that aired on Jan. 22, Friedman didn't walk out with a spot in the competition. But the 65year-old journalist and passionate home cook did get a chance to show off her skills and outsized personality on national television, which she hopes will be a springboard to building a food-related career.
At this point in her life, Friedman certainly could use a break.
She's a mother of four, grandmother of six and the daughter of Holocaust survivors – her father made it out of Auschwitz, while her mother was one of the nearly 1,700 Jews traded for money and carried to safety on the famous Kasztner train from Budapest to Switzerland.
Born after the war, Friedman and her husband, Philip Sieradski, made a living editing magazines and, later, writing the stories of Holocaust survivors.
But a few years ago Sieradski suffered a heart condition. His inability to work meant the couple were soon facing foreclosure and bankruptcy. After "The Taste" auditions were filmed, they had to leave their home of 23 years in New Milford and move to the Poconos.
Along the way, Friedman became a regular protester at Occupy Wall Street (and Occupy Teaneck). Which, in a way, led her to "The Taste" – for her initial tryout, she impressed producers with the cholent (stew) that she had made for celebrations of Occupy Wall Street.
The four judges on "The Taste" wouldn't know anything about Friedman's history – all of their decisions would be based around a blind taste test of one spoonful. Seeking to pack in as much flavor as possible, Friedman hit upon another traditional Jewish dish – kugel, a noodle pudding. But she wouldn't make the traditional version – instead, she'd add adobo seasoning and a mushroom sauce for a new spin.
And jalapeños. "I learned this from Steven Spielberg's mother," Leah Adler, whom Friedman said she interviewed at Adler's restaurant, the Milky Way. "She put jalapeños into latkes. It was unbelievable."
Though the televised clock showed that she had an hour to cook, Friedman says it was more like 30 minutes. So she nixed baking the kugel in its usual big pan and instead baked portions in muffin cups. At the suggestion of a fellow contestant, New York chef and consultant Diane DiMeo, she caramelized pear slices and added them to cut the salt.
First, judges Brian Malarkey, Ludo Lefebvre and Nigella Lawson rejected her dish. Leonia native Anthony Bourdain called the kugel "the best I've had in a while," but "when it comes to Eastern European Jewish classics, I'm a traditionalist. So you lost me at the adobo."
(Friedman's 92-year-old mother, Peska Friedman, agreed. "You shouldn't put goy-ish things into the kugel," Friedman said she scolded. "That's why you lost.")
Why does Friedman think she didn't win a spot? "I think they were looking for precision," she said while re-creating the dish in her daughter's Teaneck kitchen recently. Her style is more rustic – the shallots that went into her sauce were a combination of finely minced and chopped into different sizes.
"They wanted someone with knife techniques and they wanted kitchen techniques and they wanted people who knew what they were doing," she said. Other professional cooks she was up against "could chop an onion in three seconds flat."
Still, Bourdain did invite himself to Friedman's house for dinner (she hopes he'll actually come, as soon as her kitchen in the Poconos is ready).
And as for the recipe, Friedman stands by her decision. In fact, she isn't even stopping there – she's been baking rugalach, traditional Jewish cookies, with jalapeños and chocolate.
Fellow contestant DiMeo, a chef and consultant, called the cookies "disgustingly good," and the two have been talking about working together in the future. DiMeo has been shown doing some trash-talking on the show, but she had only compliments for Friedman.
"It's very easy to not understand her," DiMeo said. "She's probably one of the most sincere, giving, hardworking women that I've ever met. She can come off quite … flamboyant. … She's very intelligent, but no one really gives her the opportunity because they just think she's whimsical.
"I really just want her to have amazing success because she is really one of those people who has come a … very, very long way, and it's not always been a bowl of cherries, for sure. Not for her."
For the kugel:
6 eggs, well-beaten
2 cups half-and-half
Kosher salt
1 12-ounce package wide egg noodles
1/2 cup (one stick) plus two tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (divided), plus more for buttering the pan
Ground black pepper
6 jalapeños, de-seeded and finely chopped, using gloves
For the mushroom sauce:
1/4 cup unsalted butter (half a stick)
6 shallots, roughly chopped
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons adobo seasoning with no salt (preferably Whole Foods brand)
2 tablespoons Osem brand mushroom soup base mixed with one cup water, or 1 cup vegetable broth or white wine
For the caramelized pears:
2 tablespoons butter
1 Bartlett pear, julienned with skin on
1/2 cup brown sugar
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk eggs and half-and-half together and set aside.
Add a handful of kosher salt to a 5-quart pot of boiling water. Cook noodles to al dente as the package directs. Drain and cool completely (do not rinse in cold water, as this will remove needed starch.) Melt in two tablespoons butter to prevent sticking.
Combine egg mixture, one stick butter, 4 tablespoons kosher salt, 2 teaspoons black pepper and jalapeños. Add cooled noodles and toss until all noodles are coated with liquid.
Bake in a buttered 9-by-12 foil pan until set and browned on top, about 40 to 60 minutes. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
While kugel is baking, prepare mushroom sauce. Heat butter over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until golden brown. Add mushrooms, cover and simmer over low heat until they release liquid and are caramelized, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in adobo seasoning. Add mushroom soup base and water (or broth or wine) and stir until thickened.
To prepare the pears, heat butter over medium heat. Stir in pear slices and brown sugar and sauté until soft.
To serve, spoon mushroom sauce onto the bottom of a plate and top with a slice of kugel. Place two slices of pear on top.
Serves: 12 to 18.

Apr 25, 2012 - The Associated PressState jobless rate down again
CHEYENNE (AP) -- Wyoming's unemployment rate is down for the seventh straight month.
The state Department of Workforce Services said Tuesday that Wyoming's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for March was 5.3 percent, down from 5.4 percent in February.
There were about 5,500 more people employed this March than last March, a 1.9 percent increase.
Sublette County, home to large natural gas fields, once again had the lowest unemployment rate at 3.5 percent. Lincoln County had the highest rate at 8.9 percent.
The national unemployment rate is 8.2 percent.
Well failure prompts evacuation
GLENROCK (AP) -- Some residents near Douglas have been asked to evacuate because of a backflow failure at a natural gas well.
Large amounts of gas were coming out of the ground on Tuesday night. Residents of one subdivision were asked to leave their homes but it's not clear how many did so.
The owner of the well, Chesapeake Energy, paid for 45 hotel rooms in Casper and Douglas for those who evacuated.
Chesapeake Energy says no workers were injured and that it was working to bring the well under control.
Great Lakes Airlines to drop Gillette
GILLETTE (AP) -- Great Lakes Airlines is dropping its service to Gillette Campbell County Airport on May 17.
Great Lakes had provided two round trips per day between Gillette and Denver on its 19-seat aircraft.
The departure marks the end of a 13-year relationship between the airport and the Cheyenne-based airline, which for years offered the only flights to and from Gillette.
Airport Director Jay Lundell said competition from new airlines and opportunities in other cities made it more profitable for Great Lakes to look for business elsewhere.
Lundell says SkyWest Airlines could help to fill the void.
SkyWest now runs three daily round-trip flights between Denver in Gillette on a 30-seat plane.

14 Actors Who Got Naked For An Oscar
These days, movie nudity equals OSCAR CRED. More and more, people are being rewarded with Academy Award nominations for stripping down. Here are 14 actors who fall into that category . . .
Leonardo DiCaprio gets naked a lot in "The Wolf of Wall Street". They even had to cut down the sex scenes to avoid an NC-17 rating. Leo's reward? A Best Actor nomination.
Julie Delpy showed off her 44-year-old cans in "Before Midnight", and she's up for Best Adapted Screenplay this year.
Colin Firth swims naked during the opening credits of the 2009 film "A Single Man", and was nominated for Best Actor. But he WON that Oscar the following year for "The King's Speech", in which he DIDN'T strip.
Sacha Baron Cohen wrestled another man naked in "Borat", which earned him a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination in 2007.
Brad Pitt showed his butt in "Twelve Monkeys", and got nominated for Best Supporting Actor in 1996.
Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams all got nominated for "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005.
Denzel Washington showed his buttocks in "The Hurricane", and went to the 2000 Oscars with a Best Actor nomination. He wouldn't win Best Actor until 2002, for "Training Day". But he already had a Best Supporting Actor win for "Glory" in 1990.
Edward Norton's prison shower scene in the 1998 movie "American History X" earned him a Best Actor nod.
Halle Berry got naked and took it ENTHUSIASTICALLY FROM BEHIND from Billy Bob Thornton in "Monster's Ball". As a result, in 2002 she became the first African-American woman to win Best Actress.
Kate Winslet gets naked a lot . . . and she gets nominated for Oscars a lot, too. Nudity equaled Oscar love for Kate in "Titanic", "Iris", "Little Children" and, finally, "The Reader", for which she won her first trophy in 2009.
Kevin Spacey showed his ass in "American Beauty" and won Best Actor in 2000.
Geoffrey Rush showed his backside while jumping on a trampoline in "Shine". It won him Best Actor in 1997.
You know that old wives' tale that guys are afraid to fight other guys who are naked? Well, in the 2007 movie "Eastern Promises", two guys attack a naked VIGGO MORTENSEN in a Turkish bath.
And what ensued was a violent, bloody, 3-minute fight scene that Viggo did entirely in his birthday suit. It made him a Best Actor nominee.
WILLIAM HURT was nominated for Best Actor in 1998 for "Broadcast News", a movie in which he showed his butt.

New Zealand tennis No 1 Marina Erakovic has played her final match ahead of the French Open after being knocked out of the Strasbourg WTA tournament in the first round by Japanese nemesis Ayumi Morita.
Erakovic, the tournament's sixth seed, has never beaten Morita in five attempts and succumbed 6-1 6-3 in their rain-affected match. Morita led 5-1 when rain intervened yesterday and she picked up where she left off 24 hours later to win comfortably.
Erakovic will now head to Paris to prepare for the French Open, which starts at Roland Garros on Sunday night (NZT). The draw comes out on Saturday morning (NZT).
