With one week left until Election Day, Virginia's Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe has a double digit lead over his Republican counterpart, a new Washington Post/Abt SRBI poll found.
Fifty-one percent of likely voters favored McAuliffe over Ken Cuccinelli in the race for governor, while 39 percent favored Cuccinelli. Eight percent of those polled supported Libertarian Robert Sarvis.
Cuccinelli, the tea party-backed attorney general, has seen McAuliffe's lead grow in recent weeks as the Republican brand was damaged in the wake of the partial government shutdown in Washington and an all-out negative shift in wall-to-wall campaign advertisements.
The poll also revealed a large gender gap amongst voters, with 58 percent of women favoring McAuliffe while the candidates run more evenly amongst men with 45 percent of men supporting Cuccinelli.
According to the Washington Post, McAuliffe's lead could break a streak in the commonwealth's gubernatorial races -- the party in the White House has lost the governor's race in Virginia in the nine most recent elections.
But McAuliffe's lead is not a reflection of outright support for him. Sixty-four percent of those polled said they are simply voting against Cuccinelli.
In the last days of their campaign, the candidates have taken to the campaign trail to do some last minute stumping with big names.
Monday night, GOP faithful packed a reception hall in Fairfax County to show support for Cuccinelli and to hear from Tea Party favorite Sen. Rand Paul. Meanwhile, Democrats gathered to hear from McAuliffe -- and his friend, former President Bill Clinton.
Cuccinelli will campaign in Prince William County Tuesday with GOP favorite, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, while McAuliffe continues to campaign with Clinton.

A stream of HMI benefits
- Withstands harsh environments
- Real-time monitoring and control remotely
- Automatic data logging
With operator panels from Beijer Electronics, you can ensure reliability and control in your water-handling equipment. The panels' construction withstands harsh environments, while their networking features simplify work across distances.
Using VNC or HTML pages, the panels allow water levels to be monitored or regulated in real time, even at points far from the stations themselves. From a central or remote location, operators can access information and functions throughout the irrigation system.
What's more, alarms and data can be logged automatically into PC databases. In this way, the panels provide valuable help in fine-tuning the irrigation cycle.

China responds to satellite hack charge: 'Nuh-uh!'
'We oppose all hacking'
Surprising no one, the Chinese government has denied that it had anything to do with the hacking of two US satellites in 2007 and 2008.
"This report is untrue and has ulterior motives. It's not worth a comment," commented Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei at a Monday press briefing, reports Reuters.
The report to which Hong was referring was a draft of the annual report of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, which didn't detail the exact natures of the hack of the two US satellites – Terra (EOS AM-1) and Landsat 7 – although it did note that "the responsible party achieved all steps required to command the satellite."
"Such interference poses numerous potential threats, particularly if achieved against satellites with more sensitive functions," the draft said. "Access to a satellite's controls could allow an attacker to damage or destroy the satellite. An attacker could also deny or degrade as well as forge or otherwise manipulate the satellite's transmission."
The report did not specifically specifically name China as the "reponsible party", but it did point out that the Chinese military has discussed investigating how to disable enemy space-based observation systems, including "ground-based infrastructure, such as satellite control facilities."
Frankly, if the militaries of all spacefaring nations aren't investigating such possibilities, they should be denounced for dereliction of duty.
Neither Reuters nor The Guardian, which also reported Hong's remarks, noted whether spokesman Hong was able to keep a straight face when he said: "China is also a victim of hacker attacks and we oppose any form of cybercrimes including hacking." ®

Interesting day today (April 29, 2014) covering a farm auction in south-central Iowa (New Virginia, IA).
I saw continuation of a pair of trends I've been seeing in the used equipment market for a while now. First, VERY strong buyer demand for good condition used hay/forage equipment. Last week I saw a new record auction sale price on a New Holland 256 hay rake on a farm auction in east-central Wisconsin ($3,500). That same sale also saw a record auction price on a New Holland 488 haybine ($10,750). One new record set on the Iowa auction today and another close call. The record price came on a pair of Gnuse forage wagons which sold choice for $10,500 each. The near record came on a JD 3950 forage chopper, which also sold for $10,500.
Money flowing from the livestock & dairy sectors here in early 2014.
The other trend I noticed today? Late model combines and 4WD tractors struggling to go for what the sellers hope they'd bring. Today's sale had a 2010 Claas Lexion 740 combine (pictured above) with 1,000 engine hours. It was a "No Sale" at $184,000. Another "No Sale" on today's Iowa farm auction was the 2012 JD 9560R 4WD tractor with 437 hours...it was a "No Sale" at $261,000. Word was the owner was needing close to $300K on it.
Here is a Youtube video I just posted showing these items selling on today's sale:
Here are a few more highlights from today's rainy, overcast sale:
Schuler 5020 spiral mixer wagon, 1 year old: $24,000
2008 JD 8530 Tractor with 1,500 hours: $205,000
2011 Krause Dominator 18' disc chisel: $26,500
Hagedorn 276 Hyd. push manure spreader: $18,250
1999 JD 8300 MFWD Tractor with 4,156 hours: $75,000
Stay tuned for more auction sale price highlights and trend analysis based on auction sale price data as it pours in from around North America.

Thanks! I always thought that was a neat looking card.
Reds Fan Since 1971
First thing I thought of when I saw his name. Six homers in three games, so put six balls on the bat.
Honestly, he put up much bigger numbers than I realized.

Ron Piche
He was a reliever, mostly with the Milwaukee Braves in the early 60s. He had been inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
"His passion and pride for Canadiana were second to none. Everybody loved Ron Piché! As far as being a supporter of what we do here, it was never more evident than when he suffered a terrible automobile accident on his way to St. Marys two years ago to attend the induction ceremony, and when he was being removed from his vehicle by the emergency crew using the jaws of life, he asked them to please not damage the Hall of Fame blazer that he was wearing. He will be dearly missed but will always serve as an inspiration to all of us."
Tony Malinosky was the oldest living player at 101. He died this past Tuesday. He briefly played for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1937.

So I wonder who NOW becomes the oldest living ex-Major Leaguer?

When someone has a constant live webcam feed set up in their home, it's usually a good bet that it's for something super pervy or really, really paranoid. But then there's that one-in-a-big-number chance that it's actually useful, like when this lady perchanced upon some dudes robbing her house and called the emergency number.
Happily, the police were able to surround the house and catch the idiots before they made off with anything. The woman is understandably shaken by the whole thing—it must be totally surreal to see your house being picked clean while you're totally helpless. Still, it's kind of hard to not just stare at her jerk cat and dogs who just sort of let the burglars go about their business.

Care & Use:
How to Care for a Kyocera Ceramic Fry Pan:
• Use only wooden, silicone, plastic or nylon cooking utensils on ceramic cookware. Metal utensils can scratch and leave marks on the cookware
• Store a ceramic fry pan separately from other cookware, especially other ceramic. Do not stack other cookware in your ceramic fry pan. Direct ceramic-to-ceramic contact can cause damage to the fry pan. Other types of cookware stacked in the pan can also cause scratches
• Wash the fry pan in warm water before the first use. Towel dry it well, then condition the pan by rubbing the surface with a paper towel moistened in cooking oil. Rub a clean paper towel over the ceramic to remove excess oil
• Lightly coat the inside surface of the ceramic fry pan with oil before you start cooking. Do this each time you cook with the pan, unless the food is high in fat content, which will coat the pan itself. Applying oil will help to avoid dry burning the ceramic
• Cook with low or medium heat in your ceramic fry pan. Ceramic cookware heats evenly and retains heat well, so medium or low heat is all that's needed. Using high heat causes foods to stick to the pan, which can discolor or damage the surface
• Rinse the fry pan in warm water promptly after cooking to remove excess food and grease. Avoid letting it sit on the hot stovetop, which can damage the pan. Never put an empty ceramic fry pan on a hot burner, or the cookware can be ruined
• Clean your ceramic fry pan with warm water and a soft sponge or dish cloth. Dish soap isn't necessary except in the case for stubborn stains. Soak the pan in hot water for 30 minutes before washing, if burnt food is caked on the pan
• Avoid using any abrasive cleaning products or pads on the fry pan. Rinse and dry the fry pan thoroughly before storing

Friend of Morgan State shooting victim describes scene
Joshua Forbes tried to help friend after being shot on campus
A friend who helped try to treat a Morgan State University football player who was shot on campus Friday detailed for 11 News what the incident was like.
Tyrell Okoro was shot on campus Friday afternoon near an apartment building. According to school officials, the suspect, Keith Robertson, is not a student at Morgan.
Robertson, 20, was charged over the weekend with attempted first- and second-degree murder and weapons charges.
"I was just coming out of the gym area, and I heard, 'Pop, pop, pop, pop,'" Joshua Forbes, a friend and teammate of Okoro's, told 11 News.
He said within seconds, he realized his friend had been shot. Forbes can be seen on 11 News video without a shirt because he said he took it off to try to put pressure on Okoro's wounds.
"I wrapped it around, tied it up as tight as I could, trying to hold pressure, and I had found out there was too much blood coming out, and it just wasn't going to stop after that," Forbes said. "I was like, 'Stay with me. Keep looking at me,' just to keep him conscious."
Okoro was rushed to a hospital, where he was treated for several gunshot wounds and later released. He's a second-year student and a freshman on the football team.
"He's a great person, great hearted, just down to earth. A great friend, great lineman, great athlete," Forbes said of Okoro.
According to court documents, an officer driving to the scene spotted Robertson not far from the shooting. The documents said Robertson was on Hillen Road running in the middle of oncoming traffic, trying to hold a gun in his jacket pocket.
Investigators said Robertson had 16 bags of marijuana in his possession and eventually confessed to shooting Okoro.
Meanwhile, Forbes now has a terrifying college memory that he wishes he could forget.
"At the same time, I had to be strong for him because he was shot. I just had to just be like, 'Stay with me. You're fine,'" Forbes said.
Several police officers were patrolling street corners around Morgan on Monday. University official said they're coming up with some additional plans to address security on campus.

We Tried 12 Instant Oatmeals and This Was the Best Ranking
You might think that it doesn't matter which oatmeal packet you buy at the store. After all, they're oats! How different can they be? You're just searching for a simple, store-bought breakfast, and instant oatmeal couldn't be any quicker to make. But when it comes to instant oatmeal packets, there's a lot more variety on the shelves than you might think.
The cuts of the oats differ. Mix-ins may vary from a syrupy concoction of refined sugar to a hearty blend of nuts and natural flavors. Even the price tags differ quite a lot depending on the brand, even if the label implies that the products are exactly the same.
So which packets are worth buying and which will have you gagging at first spoonful? Our editors bravely taste tested 12 store-bought varieties of single-serve instant oatmeal packets - so you don't have to. Armed with plastic spoons and a midmorning appetite, we sampled 12 brands to judge the flavor, texture, and overall experience of the oats. Some packets were a cinnamon-spiced delight. Other samples tasted more like gruel.
To keep things fair, we chose oatmeal packets of the same flavor: maple. Some were maple and brown sugar. Others had additional mix-ins. But the basic flavor profile of each was the same.
To the dismay of our coworkers hoping to heat their actual lunches, we hogged the communal microwave (talk about an office lunch faux-pas) and prepared each packet of oatmeal exactly as the brands intended. We made sure to follow the package instructions to a tee. Then we gave each oatmeal packet a rating on a scale from 1 to 10. Here are the oatmeal packets that came out on top.Kathleen Collins/The Daily Meal
#12 Earth's Best
This oatmeal brand, Earth's Best, was marketed as an energizing breakfast for kids. But even our adult tasters had a hard time stomaching it. One person thought it tasted more like cardboard than breakfast, and another compared it to prison food. Everyone generally agreed that it lacked flavor and was mealy in texture. That's all somewhat surprising, because the pouches do have sugar - 8 grams of it! But evidently that wasn't enough to salvage this gruel.iHerb
#11 Market Pantry
Target is the place to go for a lot of food products, and their store brand can be pretty great. But it all depends on what you buy; our tasters recommend you steer clear of their brand's instant oatmeal. Market Pantry Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal tasted slightly bitter, like "sugary Elmer's glue." The oats floated in a pool of watery starch flavor and, though the bowl smelled pleasantly like vanilla, there was a lack of taste to make up for the liquid-like consistency. "What was that?" one editor asked after biting into a drippy spoonful.Target
#10 Nature's Path
The texture of Nature's Path oatmeal was described as gluey and dry. "Like oat-y mashed potatoes," one taster described. This oatmeal may have needed more water to cook than the package described - but our editors also believed it needed more flavor. "I can taste the water?" one puzzled editor asked the heavens, even though there was hardly any water in the mucilaginous mush. Not ideal.Amazon
#9 Better Oats
Better Oats advertises these pouches as being low-calorie - just 100 calories each! That may or may not be enough for you for breakfast, but our editors did enjoy the flavor of these artificially-sweetened oats. Sucralose, an artificial sweetener also found in diet soda, contributed to a "malty sweetness" that some compared to syrup or molasses. The texture was too watery, however; you might want to consider using less water than the package prescribes.Amazon
#8 Nature's Promise
Nature's Promise is one of Stop & Shop's store brands. Their oatmeal packets ranked average in taste and texture, though it was a bit sticky. It wasn't too sweet, wasn't too bland, and wasn't too anything. This oatmeal made what was truly a middle-of-the-road, average-tasting breakfast.Instacart
#7 Bob's Red Mill
This oatmeal was somewhat divisive. "I see seeds!" one editor exclaimed. Yes, you will find chia seeds in this low-sugar oatmeal cup. Unlike the other types of maple instant oatmeal, Bob's Red Mill includes heart-healthy foods such as flaxseed and chia. And yes, we know those things are healthy. We liked that! But a few editors wondered: At what cost? Taste testers described the texture as "pasty" and said it tasted "like dirt." If they could have added in a little sugar, they said, they might reconsider. But the attempt at a hearty breakfast was much appreciated.Amazon
#6 McCann's
"There's something weird in there," an editor said. "It tastes artificial." Others agreed - there was something suspicious-tasting lurking in these creamy oats. The texture was nice, tasters said, but the flavor was just... off somehow. Despite the taste, there are no artificial sweeteners in McCann's packets.Amazon
#5 Think Thin
Think Thin's Instant Protein & Probiotics oatmeal was an unexpected favorite for some tasters. "Wait, this was a healthy brand?" one editor asked once the brands were later revealed. Editors agreed that it wasn't too bland or too sweet and noted that the nuts mixed in were a nice touch. The taste was compared to "healthy oatmeal cookie dough," and though some noted an aftertaste that reminded them of artificial sweetener, the resounding vote was positive.Amazon
#4 Quaker
Taste testers thought this oatmeal tasted fine - but that was about it. They agreed they would eat Quaker's instant packet, but had to admit they weren't thrilled at the idea. A little extra sugar, spice, or something else nice would help, they said. The texture was fine and the oats were cooked well. They just wanted more.Amazon
#3 Dr. McDougall's
Dr. McDougall's single-serve oatmeal cup tasted alright, according to our panel. The taste was described as a little nutty and a little buttery, with some maple. Nothing to write home about. "I'd eat it if it was there!" one editor said. The texture, tasters said, was quite pleasant.Amazon
#2 Trader Joe's
There are some things you should never buy from Trader Joe's. But this oatmeal is not one of them! It received resounding praise from our carb-loaded crew. The taste was enjoyably cinnamon-spiced and delicious. "I could eat a whole bowl of this!" one person said. The only complaint was of the texture - the oats needed a bit more water to be fully enjoyable.Amazon
#1 365 Everyday Value
And the winner is.... Whole Foods 365 brand! Their Maple & Spice instant oatmeal was the favorite of almost every editor who participated. The texture was thick and the spices were at the forefront, creating a pleasant cinnamon-y spiced flavor that editors enjoyed. Though it tasted like it had a ton of sugar, these packets don't have much more added sugars than your typical maple-flavored instant oatmeal. "Tastes like the holidays!" one taster described. Yum! So it has a little sugar. It's still better than skipping breakfast altogether! That's one of the biggest breakfast nutrition mistakes you can make.

Since 1926 Crown Battery has responded to the 'power' challenges and individual needs of industry leaders with the best available products and services in the field of heavy-duty commercial deep cycle batteries.
A company-wide dedication to quality control and continual improvement has earned Crown Battery the highest quality and service rating in the industry. We put more into our deep cycle batteries so you can get more out of them...
More performance, More Productivity with Less Maintenance. Nobody builds them like Crown, because no one else invests in the heaviest, thickest plates in the industry. Ours are over 10% thicker than our competitors.
Combine that with our proprietary PROeye and our low maintenance container - features that make battery maintenance predictable and efficient - and you've got a battery that's going to last longer and perform like no other.
Crown out-performs the competition in head to head tests over and over again.
It must be a matter of perspective. But we aren't prone to exaggeration, the way some of our competitors are.
If you claim to have batteries that out-perform all others, an independent laboratory should confirm the findings. That's the way we do it at Crown. Since 1926, that's all we've done. And to us, it really isn't a matter of claiming to be first in the industrial marketplace. But being the best. Some manufacturers are comfortable making exaggerated claims.
We're comfortable making battery history… one customer at a time.
The heaviest, thickest plates in the industry. Thicker plates, heavier lead connections, and the most active lead material per ampere hour of rated capacity. And heavy means more lead, more active material. Which means more power. Longer life. Who would you put your money on? A lightweight battery? Or the heavyweight of the world. Crown.

Here's something: A bookstore in the commuter centrifuge that is Penn Station will host a Jim Leyritz book signing event for a book—Catching Heat—that came out almost a year ago.
The sign announcing the event, calling to mind the annual yard sale signs your batty neighbor plasters all over town, is one of the more depressing things you'll see today and a slap in the face to any Yankee Great. Am I the only one who remembers Game 4?!
Lucky for Leyritz it's not a weekend, so he can still grab a few pops and drown his sorrows on the train ride.

In the College of Arts and Sciences you study the root disciplines of specialized fields and gain an appreciation for how liberal arts fields—from literature to mathematics—characterize our world and grapple with moral questions.
Knowledge for your Journey
Students within and outside the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) take classes offered through CAS to satisfy the general education requirements for bachelor's degrees. Majors offered through CAS equip you with discipline-specific perspectives that prepare you for an array of occupations and graduate programs.
Why Liberal Arts?
In our modern era, technology, economic niches, and jobs continually emerge—and become obsolete. Millions of workers have lost jobs in recent recessions, but the way forward is to be intellectually nimble enough to adapt and thrive to changing needs. In many ways, a liberal arts education is your best strategy for inevitable change. Moreover, many innovations in business and technology grow out of multidisciplinary approaches to problems. If your company needs to create a new cleaning product, for example, your engineers and chemists may be well-served by someone who has studied psychology and can project how real people may actually employ—or neglect—products currently on the market.
From Biochemistry to Digital Media
In the College of Arts and Sciences, you'll hone skills in critical thinking, communication, logic and rhetoric that'll serve you well past your college years. After majoring in fields from biochemistry to digital media, our graduates go on to medical school, law school, grad programs in physical therapy and other fields, or start careers in business, industry and the public sector.

Is Katie Holmes Having A Baby With Justin Theroux?
April 2nd, 2020
Born in 1978 in Toledo, Ohio, Katie Holmes shot to fame playing Joey Potter from 1998 to 2003 on the WB series "Dawson's Creek." During her time on the hit series, the actress also landed her first leading role in the 1998 the horror film "Disturbing Behavior." She went on to appear in such films as "Go" (1999), "Wonder Boys" (2000), "Abandon" (2002), "Pieces of April" (2003), "Batman Begins" (2005) and "Thank You For Smoking" (2006).
Following a romance with her "Dawson's Creek" co-star Joshua Jackson, Cruise began dating Chris Klein in 2000. The two got engaged in 2003, but split up two years later in 2005. Just a few weeks after that, Holmes began dating Tom Cruise and the two were engaged less than two months into their relationship. Their daughter Suri was born in April 2006, and in November of that year, the two got married in a Scientologist ceremony.
Holmes and Cruise, who were nicknamed "TomKat" in the media, soon became a Hollywood supercouple. They also became a favorite target of the tabloids, which remains the case to this day. Holmes filed for divorce from Cruise in 2012 after five-and-a-half years of marriage. The pair settled their divorce just 10 days later. Holmes has full custody of Suri, who hasn't seen her father in several years. The actress later admitted that Scientology played a role her breakup from Cruise, explaining that she didn't want to raise her daughter in the religion.
After taking a three-year hiatus following the birth of her daughter, Holmes returned to acting with the 2008 crime-comedy "Mad Money." She followed up that film with roles in "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" (2010), the TV series "The Kennedys" (2011), "Jack And Jill" (2011), "Miss Meadows" (2014), "The Giver" (2014), "All We Had" (2016) and "Logan Lucky" (2017), to name a few. "All We Had" also marked the actress's directorial debut. Holmes will next be seen in the upcoming political comedy "Dear Dictator," and she also has a cameo role in "Ocean's Eight," the all-female reboot of the "Ocean's Eleven" franchise.
Following her high-profile divorce from Cruise, Holmes has kept her love life very private. For a number of years, the actress was wrongly linked to a slew of different men. Recently, however, Holmes has been spending time with Jamie Foxx. Although neither has confirmed a relationship, they have been spotted on several occasions at both awards shows and out in public.

Can't find a queen in my cutout that I hived 2 weeks ago. I had seen her about 5 days after the cutout, but now I can't see eggs, and this is what I am seeing. Are these emergency cells?
They seem quite small.
Can't find a queen in my cutout that I hived 2 weeks ago. I had seen her about 5 days after the cutout, but now I can't see eggs, and this is what I am seeing. Are these emergency cells?
They seem quite small.
Zone 8a at 4300ft. Langstroth- foundationless. 6 Hives. AHB region.
Yes they are small, but they do look like emergency queen cells.
Matthew Davey
My guess is that they are drones. When a colony has a need to rear drones and drone sized cells are not available within the cluster, they sometimes build what we call "clunkers". That's a lump of old wax with random drone cells. The drone cells generated can be pointed in almost any direction. Two clunkers are shown in the pics. The cells in question are in the vacinity of the clunkers. Makes me think drones.
To clarify, there are definitely drone cells in the clunkers, but to me one of them looks like it could possibly be a queen cell. The one that looks most like a queen cell.
The middle photo looks to me like a queen cell being constructed, near the lower center of the photo.
And no eggs, but only time will tell...
Matthew Davey
Top photo has some newly made queen cups and capped worker brood. Middle photo is worker brood. Bottom photo is worker brood w/ a capped drone cell every now and then. It also looks like it might be incorrectly oriented in the frame.
Do you see larvae, young stage larvae? If you do you have a queen. If you don't think you do, are you going to combine this w/ a viable colony?
Mark Berninghausen
Mark Berninghausen
There is uncapped brood, so your queen has been there sometime between 3 and 9 days ago (workers hatch at 3, capped at 9). So your queen was active after you'd first seen her. I'd just wait another week or so and check back then. Most likely everything is fine.
Thanks everyone, really appreciate the feedback.
I had thought the "clunkers" might be drone cells, after another local beekeeper mentioned she had seen "huge" drone cells in her hive and thought they were queens until a couple of local gurus assured her they weren't. This hive for sure had a laying queen in it ~10-12 days ago, and I did see some very small larvae last time I looked, so I am hoping she is still in there. I think she might be one of those queens that runs down into a corner of the deep when you pull the frames. I only caught a glimpse of her on the bottom of a frame when I did see her.
And yes, this cut out is fairly weak (due to losing bees and comb in the cutout- it was actually a really large 1 year hive pre-cutout), so I am going to split my Italians with their old queen and a couple of frames of brood going into a nuc, and then newspaper combine this one with the remaining queenless frames. I really want to keep this hive's genetics- a gentle, productive colony that survived last years drought and built up a strong hive is worth preserving!
Zone 8a at 4300ft. Langstroth- foundationless. 6 Hives. AHB region.
So, it turns out these were queen cells. I found a virgin queen today, probably hatched within the last 24 hours. She was quite small, hardly any bigger than a worker, but definitely a queen. By checking my inspection records on beetight.com, I was able to figure that the old queen died about a week after I did the cutout. Might have pinched her accidentally during an inspection.
Anyway, I split a different hive, and then newspaper joined the virgin queen cutout hive with the queenless split.
Zone 8a at 4300ft. Langstroth- foundationless. 6 Hives. AHB region.
I dunno why people said those were drones, obvious 2 queencells to me. Hopefully she turns out ok.
Educate me. What makes them 'obvious' queen cells. I see two reasons to guess drones.
**The cells are so short that there is no external stuctural ribbing like the peanut.
**The cappings are rounded like drones and are larger than the smaller, flatish capping at the exit tip of a normal queen cell.
Do we know for a fact that the reported virgin emerged from one of the cells under discussion?
They're emergency cells so they're not going to be beautiful it looks to me. The one next to the queen cup is most obvious, i can see the one in the middle of that mass of comb to maybe be drone but the way it's extended downward would make me guess queencell first. The other looks like a nice peanut to me (the one next to the queen cup that's started on the right). They don't need to start drones from pooling the base of a bunch of cells like those were drawn.
Also, noticed that the wikipedia page for queen bee has a picture of emergency cells that is very similar.
Zone 8a at 4300ft. Langstroth- foundationless. 6 Hives. AHB region.
Here is the queen. She does not seem to be laying, so I am a bit concerned. Maybe she's just slow off the starting line? She seems bigger than when i saw her freshly hatched, so I am assuming she is mated. Maybe poorly mated? There are also some new-looking queen cells in the hive, so maybe they are not happy with her.
Zone 8a at 4300ft. Langstroth- foundationless. 6 Hives. AHB region.
The lower photo is of a queen w/ her tail end in a cell, laying an egg.
Mark Berninghausen
takes up to two weeks after emergence for a virgin to get going, be patient.

Semien showing patience at plate
CHICAGO -- Marcus Semien's patience at the plate directly contributed to a White Sox victory Tuesday.
It was Semien who checked his swing on a close 2-2 pitch from Red Sox reliever Chris Capuano and then hit the ensuing offering on the ground for what turned out to be a game-deciding error committed by shortstop Xander Bogaerts. Semien has shown the ability to work an at-bat since the start of the season, ranking 10th in the American League with 4.39 pitchers per plate appearance.
That patience was on display during the 2013 season, when Semien walked 98 times and struck out 90 over stops with Triple-A Charlotte and Double-A Birmingham.
"I know last year I was very patient," Semien said. "It seemed like the deeper I got in the count, the better I did. I don't know what the correlation between that is."
The correlation could be as simple as Semien seeing more pitches by working deeper counts. But in keeping with hitting coach Todd Steverson's controlled aggression approach, Semien wants to be as locked in at 2-0 or 3-1 as he is with two strikes.
"My goal every at-bat is not to go deep in the count or look for pitches per at-bat," Semien said. "It just kind of happens like that. I'm pretty selective early in the count. I want to get the pitch I want to swing at. It can go against me some time.
"If it's a guy who won't really give into you, we face a lot of guys like that. A lot of guys on Kansas City, they don't give in. [Catcher] Salvador Perez calling pitches, he won't give in to you. So it depends on who you are facing. You have to pick and choose spots."

The Open Security Foundation, providing independent, accurate, detailed, current, and unbiased security information to professionals around the world, announced today that it has launched Cloutage (cloutage.org) that will bring enhanced visibility and transparency to Cloud security. The name Cloutage comes from a play on two words, Cloud and Outage, that combine to describe what the new website offers: a destination for organizations to learn about cloud security issues as well as a complete list of any problems around the globe among cloud service providers.
The new website is aimed at empowering organizations by providing cloud security knowledge and resources so that they may properly assess information security risks related to the cloud. Cloutage documents known and reported incidents with cloud services while also providing a one-stop shop for cloud security news and resources.
"When speaking with individuals about the cloud, to this point it has been a very emotional conversation. People either love or hate the cloud," says Jake Kouns, Chairman, Open Security Foundation. "Our goal with Cloutage is to bring grounded data and facts to the conversation so we can have more meaningful discussions about the risks and how to improve cloud security controls."
Cloutage captures data about incidents affecting cloud services in several forms including vulnerabilities that affect the confidentiality and integrity of customer data, automatic update failures, data loss, hacks and outages that impact service availability. Data is acquired from verifiable media resources and is also open for community participation based on anonymous user submissions. Cloud solution providers are listed on the website and the community can provide comments and ratings based on their experiences. Cloutage also features an extensive news service, mailing lists and links to organizations focused on the secure advancement of cloud computing.
"The nebulous world of cloud computing and the security concerns associated with it confuses many people, even IT and security professionals," says Patrick McDonald, a volunteer on the Cloutage project. "We want a clearinghouse of information that provides a clear picture of the cloud security issues."

St. Pete K-Life necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 390 diseños de 111 diseñadores freelance.
St. Petersburg K-Life
St. Petersburg K-Life is a community-wide, interdenominational Christian ministry for youth and their families. Our hope is that kids get a chance to see Jesus in a fresh, fun way. Through college volunteers, small groups, and fun, interactive clubs and events, we desire to impact the lives of students in the St. Pete / Tampa Bay area, discipling and mentoring them through life.
Our audience is three fold...
Youth...something catchy that will attract their eye
Parents/Families. Logo will go on all print media and web media that is sent out at least once a week.
Businesses/Potential Donors to sustain the ministry.
We are looking for a logo to represent our ministry.
K-Life is a nation-wide ministry with a national logo. We are looking to establish a unique identity locally and are therefore looking for an alternative to our corporate logo.
Here are some things to consider:
Our logo does not necessarily have to be "spiritually" related (ie have a cross or Bible in the graphic) but can be. Traditionally the K-Life logo included the ichthus fish.
We are looking for something that is fresh, clean. Something that will stand out and is relevant.
St. Pete, Fl is on the bay/gulf. We are not opposed to having a logo that plays into that. (But would like other options as well)
Our ministry verse is 1 Thessalonians 2:8. It can be incorporated but does not have to.
We will need a print file format and web file format.
The following file is a logo for Denver K-Life. We like the simplicity, and also the relevancy to Denver. We want something that stands out a little more.
Thank you!!

By Michael S. Goldberger
Observer correspondent
July 25th, 2013
The amazing thing about director Guillermo del Toro's highly imaginative "Pacific Rim" is that either I think I understood it, or, for sheer mental preservation, I've deluded myself into believing I understood it. In any case, despite oodles of complexity strewn through this non-stop buffet of color, action and comic-book heroism set in the 2020s, there's no mistaking the derivation and genre.
Good gracious, man, though they never say so, it's "Godzilla," the old boy rethought, refurbished, polished and delivered with everything expected of the well equipped monster movie, circa 21st Century.
But, just in case you're not a fourteen-year-old boy anxious to gulp down wholesale all the techno jargon your demography demands, there's something here for the kid in all of us. The grand scale popcorn muncher provides ideal rationalization and cacophonous accompaniment for devouring a butter drenched bucket of the movie maize, a box of Goobers™, some of those chocolate nonpareils, yessiree, and a good sized diet Coke (gotta watch that film critic figure, y'know).
Gadzooks, there is reason aplenty for anxiety-induced gorging. Apparently, tectonic plates or some such thing, have shifted, unleashing through the resultant portal to our so-called civilized world an endless supply of giant, lizard/dragon-like colossi called Kaiju. And, wouldn't you know it: because our greedy politicians lacked foresight and a moral commitment to the future, we have but conventional weaponry to combat the scourge.
But then again, remember, we're humans, determined not to go the way of the dinosaur, the dodo bird or a live voice at the other end of a customer service line. Therefore, our scientists have, hopefully just in the nick of time, developed the Jaeger program, which, doubtlessly, would have been impossible to conceive of had an earlier generation not embraced Transformers™ and their various robotic permutations as the toy of choice.
Now get this. The average Jaeger (there are different generations and models) is twenty-five stories high and humanoid in appearance. They are armed with all manner of destructive capability, nuclear and otherwise. Furthermore, it takes two people, the future's equivalent of Top Guns, to operate a Jaeger.
But here's the coolest part. It's not enough that the two pilots must be of sound mind and body…and pretty good looking, too. In order to competently wield the gigantic weapon, the duo must form a mental bond known as a neural bridge. Or, as we might have described in Greenwich Village during the late 1960s, they have to get into each other's head, man.
Yet, for all the gosh gee wiz gizmos that bedazzle in a kaleidoscopic light show that has you worried you're going to beam through to an alternate dimension, the basic plot structure encasing this piñata of futurism is straight out of the 1950s. Although fancified, it's the same old tale of us against them, augmented with a dash of Homer and a splash of Freud. And, just to keep it cleverly reminiscent of its hokey but pioneering antecedent, not to mention the cost savings realized, all the principals are relative unknowns.
Headlining this latest foray into the world-saving business is Charlie Hunnam as Raleigh Becket, Jaeger commando extraordinaire, delivered to us with a psychiatrist's couch full of baggage. You see, Raleigh's last co-pilot was his brother, Yancey, who, we can only hope, has gone to that great Kaiju fighting battleground in the stratosphere. Our man took it hard, forewent all past glory, and hired on as an anonymous day worker.
Of course, our favorite tales of heroism inevitably contain a redemption component. So, when the war starts to tilt in the favor of Godzilla's progeny, Raleigh's old commander, Stacker Pentecost, starchily played by Idris Elba, comes looking for him. It turns out the beasts have tapped into our digitalism, and Raleigh is one of the few aces who can pilot the older, analog juggernauts.
Naturally, he'll need a complement…one that can not only help him put those sad memories of his bro in the vault, but now pair with him to best advantage. Well, that's easy: Marshall Pentecost just so happens to have a Jaeger pilot prodigy…Mako (Rinko Kikuchi), a pretty Asian lass, albeit with some emotional problems of her own. The thinking is, maybe two psychoses can synergize into a good, healthy ability to kill the Kaijus. Boy, wouldn't it be just perfect if they also decided to exchange phone numbers?
Adding quirky wadding to the desperate derring-do, Charlie Day and Burn Gorman as dueling brainiacs formulate a good sense of comedy relief. And, lest we forget to mention that opportunism is alive and well in the proposed future, Ron Perlman is a satiric hoot as Hannibal Chau, a black market harvester of Kaiju body parts. Hence, while effectively arousing all sorts of trepidation, "Pacific Rim" entertainingly reminds in its cutting-edged way that dramatic predicaments and their resolutions inevitably come full circle.
"Pacific Rim," rated PG-13, is a Warner Bros. release directed by Guillermo del Toro and stars Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi and Idris Elba. Running time: 131 minutes

I seriously can't bring myself to understand those people who hate on celebrities because of their skins.. Like why would you hate them because of their skins?? I mean just how clear, moisturized, soft, smooth, and nice is your skin that you can say something bad about celebrities' skins? That's just disgusting.. Do what you want, they're still so much more good-looking than you..
1. [+74][-2] Kids who say something mean about celebrities' skins are usually the ones who uses heavy make up on daily basisㅋㅋㅋ They're just ruining their skins that actually are already ruined..
2. [+68][-8] Agreeㅋㅋㅋ Especially the ones who usually say something about Seolhyun's skin toneㅋㅋㅋ Eventhough she has a dark skin tone, she's prettier than you~~ㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+63][-0] The fact that they enjoy attacking other people with words makes them sound like idiots..
4. [+24][-1] I can proof you that I'm not an Army. I really don't get people who hate on Jungkook's skin.. His skin is obviously very sensitive, since he debuted at a really young age, had to put on a lot of make up through his puberty.. Most of my friends are Armys so they often force..? me to watch BTS' video and there was this video where BTS showed the member who has the most cosmetic products and it was Jungkook.. He mixed some things and I even saw vinegar in one of it and when he was asked the reason why, he just answered 'Demodex Folliculorum!' in a really bright toneㅋㅋ Eventhough Jungkook is not my bias, I get mad when people state that he doesn't take care of his own skin, etc. He's trying hard to take care of his skin, but things are not turning well for him. Honestly, I find it ridiculous how people always use skin as the reason for them to hate on a celebrity..
5. [+11][-1] I always get mad whenever I see people talking something bad about Seolhyun's skin..
6. [+11][-0] Not just skin, but also their overall faces.. It's really dumb to hate on celebrities just because of their faces..
7. [+8][-26] You must be an Army..
8. [+7][-0] Isn't it obvious that celebrities get skins troubles? I mean, they have to wake up at dawn and get make up on their face and get ready for their schedules.. They sweat during their schedules, but they just wipe it off and cover it with another layer of make up.. And at night, they probably have trouble with sleeping, etc.. Actors and actresses get skins treatment even on the day they have no schedules, because their schedules are much tighters than idols' schedules.. My bias is currently getting a lot of hate because of his skin, but honestly.. I would still shield him even if he wasn't my bias..
9. [+7][-0] Those people don't realize how they look like in real life.. They're really pathetic..
10. [+6][-1] Using plastic surgery as the reason to hate on celebrities.. I don't know why do you have to hate a celebrity just because they got something done..

Sometimes less is more. Just ask the Lipscomb Lady Bisons.
After giving several of his players an earful of advice following Friday night's 3-0 sweep of Mercer, coach Brandon Rosenthal and his assistant Samantha Sullivan decided it was time for them to back off and let the players play.
The strategy worked as the Lady Bisons swept Kennesaw State 3-0 Saturday afternoon in Atlantic Sun Conference play at Allen Arena. The Lady Bisons recorded set wins of 25-18, 25-15 and 25-11.
It was the 10th match sweep of the season for the Lady Bisons and the fourth straight win.
"Our motto before the match was `our side, our way'," Rosenthal said. "We have to take care of things we want to do.
"The first set started out great. In all honesty Kennesaw was playing tremendous defense in the first set."
In set two the Lady Bisons had a .441 hitting percentage. In set three they posted a .400 hitting percentage. The team hitting percentage for the match was a solid .358.
"We decided to do less and get out of their way," Rosenthal said. "We don't need to overload them with information or be critical on every play.
"The truth of the matter is that these girls know exactly what they are doing. As a coach you literally have to take a back seat. People ask me all the time about coaching and it has little do with Xs and Os and more to do with good leadership."
The overall team effort was a quick turnaround from what Rosenthal endured Friday night.
"Friday night our effort was just bad," Rosenthal said. "Against Kennesaw State I thought they were much more focused and more tasked oriented. They were disciplined on defense. They played with more passion.
"I was little surprised and disappointed that we didn't bring that against Mercer. But you have to have short memories."
Another quote for the day was about playing with confidence and not having that fear of losing.
"Friday we didn't play great, but we won and we needed to move on," Rosenthal said. "Even though I didn't like the effort against Mercer when you step back and let it all sink in after three or four hours you realize our girls weren't worried."
Middle blocker Alex Kelly led the Lady Bisons in kills with a match-high 17. She also recorded a match high 17 digs. Kelly hit .483 for the match.
Outside hitter Meghan Hinemeyer added 11 digs for the Lady Bisons.
Setter Stefine "Jake" Pease made 13 digs and posted 40 assists.
Opposite Charlyn Ursell had nine kills and a match high .667 hitting percentage.
No Kennesaw State players had more than six kills in the match. Alyssa Lang led the Owls with 12 digs. Camille Pedraza and Rachel Albright each had 10 digs.
The Lady Bisons extended their conference regular season win streak to 27 matches. They have won their last 22 matches in a row at home. Rosenthal is worried more about winning 10 games this season in the conference.
"Every weekend is the next test," Rosenthal said. "That has something to do with not having two round robins in the conference, especially out of the game. You don't want to get behind early in a single round robin where you have to play catch-up or look for other teams to help you.
"I don't want to deal with that. I want to be out in front."
The Lady Bisons are 13-5, 2-0 in the A-Sun. Kennesaw State is 8-9, 1-1 in the conference.
This Friday night at ETSU in Johnson City the Lady Bisons are scheduled to play at 6 p.m. Saturday at 2 the Lady Bisons will be in Spartanburg, S.C., to face USC Upstate. It is the first set of road games for the Lady Bisons in conference play this season.
