I get some bees and begin caring for them.
Hives don't usually come with bees in them and my hive was no exception. It arrived in a series of big cardboard boxes. Each box contained a hive body and ten frames with foundation. Another box included the base, an inner cover, and an outer cover. All I had to do was stack these in the right order and put bees inside the resulting box and I was in business.
As I discussed in a previous post, I got a line on some bees locally from someone who answered a Craig's List ad I'd placed. I knew very little about bees and felt weird going to pick them up by myself. Fortunately, my friend James, who kindly lent me some real estate to put my hive at his North Wenatchee home, agreed to come along.
Assembling the Hive
But first I had to assemble my hive.
Although I'd bought a traditional hive with two deep hive bodies and two medium hive bodies, I didn't need the whole thing. When you establish a colony of bees, you give them enough space for the queen to lay eggs and the workers to tend to the brood and start storing honey and pollen. Then, when they're almost out of room, you add another hive body with more frames.
It's like waiting until you've almost run out of space in your bookshelf to buy and install another bookshelf.
I figured I'd set up a deep hive body for brood and a medium for honey. So that's what I did. It looked very nice on the hive stand James had thoughtfully provided for me. (I guess he didn't want me using the palette I'd found and rescued in his backyard. I can't really blame him.)
I should mention here that I had been regretting my purchase of the two deep hive bodies for some time — since reading the book that came with my beekeeping kit, in fact. I read the book on the flight from Seattle to Phoenix and then from Phoenix to Seattle a few days later. I nearly finished it. In it, the author so strongly recommends that beekeepers buy only 8-frame medium hive bodies that she assumes every reader has done so. And although I have yet to meet a beekeeper who is using 8-frame hive bodies, I know quite a few who are using only medium depth hive bodies. I had decided that I ordered the wrong equipment even before I began using it. And I kept wondering how I was going to make the switch in the future.
That's what I was thinking about as I assembled my hive and prepared to pick up my bees.
Then James got a phone call about two swarms. I went with him to track them down and (hopefully) capture them. More about that in another post.
Picking Up the Nuc
I was buying a nuc or nucleus colony. As I discussed in a previous post, a nuc is a box of bees with a queen already installed, mated, and laying eggs. It's basically a very small hive. My Vermont beekeeping friend, Tom, says that this is the best way to get bees because all the bees already know the queen and there's already brood and honey and pollen stored up.
The nuc was in Dreyden, which is about 15 miles from where my bees would live. After James and I finished chasing down swarms, we headed right to Dreyden. I called the seller, Randy, along the way. He'd meet us at the Shell station, which James knew. I told him what we were driving and he told me what he was driving. It was a typical Craig's List meet.
We got there first and he pulled up next to us a few minutes later. He was a big guy — think horizontal — in blue denim overalls. He told us to follow him. We crossed the main road and got on a narrow drive. A minute or two later, we were pulling into a yard with lots of grass, a garden, a double-wide mobile home, and lots of parked cars and trucks, some of which looked as if they hadn't moved in a long while.
The nucs — he had two of them — were sitting on a board on the edge of the property. They were wax-coated cardboard, with a round hole in the front for the bees to come and go. Bees were flying in and out of each of them. Not too many, though — it was getting late.
And this is when I was suddenly glad I'd bought deep hive boxes. You see, the nucs use deep frames. If I only had medium frames in my hive, I wouldn't be able to use the frames in the nuc. That was James's situation. He wanted to buy the other nuc because he'd lost a queen in one of his hives but he couldn't because the frames wouldn't fit in any of his hive bodies.
Randy and James chatted quite a bit. It seemed they'd met before. James used to work for the cable company and had been to Randy's house up by Blewett Pass. Randy was a nice guy. Very friendly.
Finally, it was time to do business. Randy asked me which one I wanted. I asked him which one was better. He and James agreed that whichever one was heavier probably had more bees. Randy checked them both. He put the round cap in one of them to close off the entrance and lifted it up. He handed it to James and James handed it to me.
I was holding a 15-20 pound cardboard box containing 5,000 to 10,000 live bees.
We tucked the box in the back of James's truck. I gave Randy a $100 bill. We shook hands. He told me to call him if I had any problems at all. Then we drove back down to Wenatchee.
Putting the Bees in the Hive
Back at James's house, his neighbor's son, Seth, came out to greet us. When he realized we had new bees, he asked if he could help.
"Suit up," James told him.
Seems that Seth, who was maybe 10 or 12 years old, was really into bees. Even though his mom wouldn't let him get any, she did let him get a bee suit and James let him help out. That was fine with me.
I unwrapped my brand new bee suit and pulled it on over my jeans and tee shirt. I put on the pith helmet and arranged the veil over it. Then I tried to zip the veil to the suit. I couldn't do it. Neither could James. Neither could Seth — although he told me he had a lot of trouble with his, too. So I just let the veil hang over the neck of my suit and hope that the bees couldn't find their way in. I put on the long gloves, grabbed my hive tool, and, feeling pretty silly, looked at James and our helper and asked, "Do we need smoke?"
Smoke calms the bees. I had a smoker, but I hadn't used that either. James told me I wouldn't need smoke. That was okay with me.
I carried the nuc box into the yard where my empty hive was waiting. James told me to take off the top box because I wouldn't need it. Just the bottom box to get started. I pulled it off and set it aside. Then I pulled five empty frames out of the middle of the bottom box and set them aside. The five frames in the nuc would go into their places.
The moment of truth had arrived. I took the lid off the nuc box.
There were a lot of bees in there. They didn't seem too interested in me. The tops of the frames were dirty and they were filled with thick comb. And dark brown goo.
James used my hive tool to scrape off a piece of burr comb on top that was filled with honey. "Your first harvest," he said, handing me the comb.
I set it aside. I'd suck the honey out later.
Using my hive tool, I tried to pry one of the frames loose from the box. Bees create something called propolis — a dark brown goo — which is like a glue they use to seal up cracks. It's the main reason a hive tool is necessary. I began prying up one side of a frame and tried to get the other.
The bees didn't like that. A bunch of them came out and started swarming around my veiled head.
I tried again, but the bees were stressing me.
"Do you want some smoke?" James asked.
"If you think it would help," I replied.
He and Seth left to get a smoker going. While they were gone, I just stood around, holding my hive tool in one hand, while bees swarmed all around me. I didn't move my head much; I was afraid they'd find the gap between the veil and my suit and get inside. I was very happy to see them coming back about 5 minutes later. They puffed smoke into the nuc. It seemed to have some affect on the bees. Or maybe on me. I calmed down and got back to work.
One by one I removed the frames from the nuc. I didn't really look at them, although I suppose I should have. I just wanted to get the job done. It was late and the light was fading.
I got all the frames from the nuc into the space in the hive body, making sure to put them in the same orientation and order so as not to confuse the queen.
There were lots of bees still in the otherwise empty nuc box and clinging to the box cover. James said to leave them; the bees would find their way into the hive overnight. That was fine with me. Finished, I put the inner and outer covers on my now occupied hive.
One thing left to do: fill the feeder. I'd prepared a 1:1 sugar:water mixture in advance in a jar. I fit the lid of the feeder on the jar, inverted it, and slipped it into one side of the entrance.
I was done.
I posed for a picture, then went back to the truck. I stripped out of my bee suit and my companions did the same. After a bunch of goodbyes, I left. It was just getting dark.
The tiny bit of honey in that burr comb was good.
Two More Visits
I visited the bees — mostly to feed them — on each of the following days.
On Wednesday, I arrived after my meeting with surveyors, lunch, and a lot of divorce bullshit that I wrote about in another blog post. My main reason to visit was to give the bees more sugar water. I got my veil zipped onto my bee suit. I also got my smoker going — although I really didn't need it. I didn't need to open the hive. All I needed to do was take the lid off the feeder jar, refill it, and then put it back in place. Bees were coming in and out of the entrance. All looked good.
The bees were mostly out of the nuc box. I shook the last few out and used my hive tool to scrape away the propolis and wax on it. Back at my RV, I'd put the five frames I'd removed into the nuc box for safekeeping. I now had a good place to put a swarm if I had the opportunity to catch one.
On Thursday, I arrived after spending too much time at Hooked On Toys, getting a fishing rod set up for salmon fishing. (Too bad salmon season doesn't start until July 1!) I'd brought enough sugar water to keep them for two days. This time, I wore the suit — call me a coward — but skipped the smoke.
I didn't visit them at all on Friday. North Wenatchee is 40 miles from where I'm living right now. Those bees are going to have to learn to fend for themselves. I can't visit them every day.
I'll likely visit again this weekend, though, to give them more sugar water. I'll also use that opportunity to inspect the hive and hopefully add another deep hive body and frames. Later, I'll add a queen excluder and honey super. I don't expect to harvest any honey this year — the bees will need it all to get through the winter — but I'm eager to give them what they need to keep the colony growing.
More in another post. Stay tuned!

19th Amendment, Ratified August 18, 1920
In 1917, the year the United States entered World War I, women in New York State won a tremendous victory when the state granted the electoral franchise to women. The two national women's suffrage organizations, the conservative National American Women's Suffrage Association (NAWSA) and the radical National Women's Party (NWP), argued that it was hypocritical to fight for democracy in Europe while denying democracy to half the American population. In fact, significantly more than half of American citizens were denied the right to vote at that time. African Americans of both sexes were systematically denied the franchise. In theory, however, black men, unlike women of any race, were promised the vote by the 15th Amendment. The NWP used confrontational tactics, chaining supporters to the White House gates, and demanding that President Woodrow Wilson support a constitutional amendment; NAWSA, on the other hand, presented itself as the patriotic, conservative alternative, knitting socks for soldiers while reminding President Wilson of his promises to "make the world safe for democracy."
In 1918, the House of Representatives passed a constitutional amendment that gave the franchise to women, and Wilson endorsed it. However, anti-suffrage Republicans and Southern Democrats in the Senate balked. In response, the NWP and NAWSA mobilized thousands for massive marches and meetings. The Senate finally passed what is known as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, and local networks of suffragists ensured that it was ratified by the states. Tennessee was the 36th state to ratify, and it became the 19th Amendment in time for women's votes to affect the 1920 presidential election.

There is nothing worse than breaking up with someone you hold very dear. Except maybe if you happen to break up with a comedian eavesdropping nearby and live-tweeting your fight for all the world to read about. Which is exactly what comedian Kyle Ayers did when a couple on the verge of a breakup disturbed his alone time on a rooftop.
Reading the couple's conversation – coupled with Kyle's commentary – is funny, yet leaves an all-too familiar feeling for most of us. The couple went through the usual motions in a lover's quarrel: loss of trust, incoherent babbling, trying to change the subject, illogical and irrational arguments, etc.
For a detailed blow-by-blow of the couple's fight, you can read all of Kyle's tweets on Buzzfeed.

Apparently, spring brings out the baker in me. I'm not sure what's happening, but during the past couple of weeks I've been baking up a storm. Other than resisting the urge to eat everything I bake, It's been absolutely fun and completely cathartic.
A few years ago I tried my hand at a naked cake (that is, a cake without frosting on the sides), and since then, I've been wanting to make another. So that's what I did! Voila, my Strawberry Limeade Naked Cake.
To be honest, I have a love-hate relationship with naked cakes. While I like the idea of a no-fuss, rustic, homey-looking cake, there's also the perfectionist part of me that struggles with "messiness." (It's been known to make my eye twitch.)
However, the freedom-loving side of me won out this time around, and I'm so pleased with this pretty but "messy" deliciousness.
As you might expect with a Strawberry Limeade Naked Cake, there's a lot bright, fresh flavor packed into the layers of this beauty.
For the cake, I went homemade. This allowed me to include pureed strawberries, lime zest, and lime juice. Cake flour and a bit of buttermilk keep the cake light and airy.
Once the cake came out of the oven, I wanted to lock in the moisture and add even more flavor, so I drizzled all three layers with homemade lime simple syrup.
To bring the whole cake together, there's a strawberry cream cheese frosting made with more of that strawberry puree, lime zest, and lime juice. If you're looking for a cake with flavor, this is it! My favorite part is that if you look closely enough. you can see the specks of lime and strawberry in both the cake and the icing. I just love that.
Now, if you're not into the look of a naked cake, I understand. There should be plenty of frosting in the recipe below for you to just go ahead and frost the whole thing. Have it your way, my friends.
To complete the cake, top it off with whole strawberries and slices of lime. In my opinion, that is one beautiful cake. Whether spring or summer, I think you're going to love baking, sharing, and eating this cake as much as I did.
Serves 12 - 15
Here's what you will need:
3 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound strawberries, hulled and chopped
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lime zest
Whole strawberries and sliced limes to garnish
Lime Simple Syrup
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon lime zest
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
16 ounces (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
6 cup confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons strawberry puree
1/4 cup strawberries, diced
Begin by preheating your over to 350 degrees F. Then, grease three 8-inch cake pans with baking spray. Line with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Add the chopped strawberries to a blender or food processor and puree for 10-15 seconds. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the strawberry puree with the buttermilk. (Keep the remaining puree for the frosting.)
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will take 3 to 5 minutes. Then, add the eggs, one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and lime zest.
Reduce speed to low and beat in the flour mixture and strawberry/buttermilk mixture alternately, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Do this until the flour is just incorporated. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
Bake the cakes for 20 to 23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
While the cakes bake, prepare your lime simple syrup. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Stir constantly for 5-7 minutes until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat. Stir in lime zest and lime juice. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
After you remove the cakes from the oven, let them cool in the pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then evenly top each cake with 4 tablespoons of lime simple syrup. Let the cakes cool completely.
As your cakes cool, prepare the strawberry cream cheese frosting. Using an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese and butter 3 to 5 minutes until fluffy. Gradually beat in the confectioner's sugar, one cup at a time. Beat until smooth. Then beat in the lime zest, lime juice, strawberry puree, and diced strawberries until combined. Put the frosting in a piping bag fitted with a large closed star tip.
Once the cakes have cooled, place a layer on a cake plate and evenly top with frosting. Then, add another layer and top with frosting. Add the final layer of cake to the top. Using an offset spatula, work around the cake to create an even layer of frosting and cake. Allow some of the cake to show through the frosting to achieve the naked cake look. Add more frosting and repeat as necessary.
Top the cake with six large dollops of frosting. Chill for 3-4 hours until the frosting is set. Before serving, garnish with whole strawberries and sliced limes.Print
Ta da! Beautiful, right?
Now, I know this seems like a lot of steps, but I promise they are easy, and the whole thing comes together pretty quickly. I hope you give this recipe a try.
What are your thoughts on naked cakes? Love them or hate them?

William Dory(Dorey) Sr. born 6 Jun 1837 in Granger, NY married Anna Clark b.1 Jun 1841 NY in 1858 Hornellsville, NY. Her parents were Daniel Clark and maybe Rebecca ?. William Sr. died 7 Apr 1907 in Grenola and Anna died 10 Mar 1920 in Grenola. They had 1 child, William M. Dory Jr. born 22 Aug 1859 in NY. He married Emma Jane Weeks 18 Mar 1880 in Howard, KS (I have a copy of Marriage Certificate). They had 7 children: 1. Tryphe Ann; b. 8 Apr 1881 2. William Edwin; b. 27 Dec 1882 3. Roy Harrison; b. 15 Aug 1888 4. Mary Jane; b. 4 Dec 1890 5. Harry Albert; b. 8 Mar 1894 6. Earl Noble; b. 15 Mar 1895 and 7. Troy Joy; b. 21 Dec 1902.
Roy Harrison Dory was my line. There were many Dory families in Granger in the 1850 census but spelled Dorey. I do think they are ours. After the Civil War, William and Anna with son went to Grand Rapids, Michigan for about 4 years then on to Grenola. They supposedly had family in Michigan. I used to correspond with a lady who was descended from a Daniel Dorey who went from Granger, NY to Michigan. She stated that her grandmother had told her that a William child had stayed back in NY when the rest of the family moved to MI. He stayed with his fiancee's family and came on to Michigan after the war. Daniel moved there with his family in 1857. The Daniel Dory I find in the 1850 census had no William living with them at that time and he should have been about 13 at that time. But Daniels wife Elizabeth is listed as 25 years old which would have made her 12 when William was born, so maybe Daniel was married before her. He is listed as being 34. Both were born in England. The other Dorey's in Granger were also listed as being born in England (anyway the older ones). I think probably the William (age 67) and Elizabeth (age 72?) may have been the grandparents of our William. Supposedly according to this lady, they came from Bere-Regis-Dorsetshire, England in 1837. Maybe Daniel's wife died during childbirth with William then Daniel remarried this Elizabeth?
I was corresponding with this lady back in 1989 and lost touch. She was elderly so may not be around anymore. She said her grandmother told her that William moved to Arkansas but may have gotten it wrong.
Supposedly Daniel was a smuggler in England but that wasn't verified. His wife Elizabeth's maiden name was Howorth or Hoerth. But I feel that she couldn't have been our Williams mother, so I think if Daniel is father that he was married before Elizabeth.

On a yet another rainy day in Seattle, just their 81st in a row with some sort of rain, the gritty young Seahawks mounted another comeback on their homefield and dispatched the New England Patriots, 24-23 with a last minute touchdown at CenturyLink Field on Sunday afternoon. No matter what you think of the Patriots effort on either side of the ball a few guys did show up to play on Week 6 in the Pacific Northwest. Lets start with rookie defensive end Chandler Jones, who is quickly becoming Pro-Bowl and possible All-Pro material with another stellar game of 9 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 tackle for loss, 3 QB hits and forced fumble, his 3rd of the season. The guy is what some would say a "high motor player". If you don't love him already, you should. You can also include LB Brandon Spikes 5 tackles, 2 tackles for loss both on Seattle RB Marshawn Lynch and 1 QB hit. He is truly developing into the player they drafted three years ago out of Florida. Offensively it was RB Danny Woodhead 71 yards from scrimmage; WR Wes Welker 10 catches for 138 yards and 1 TD, WR Brandon Lloyd 6 catches for 80 yards. The offensive line also did a great job keeping Tom Brady protected against an aggressive sack hungry defense. Also TE's Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez toughed it through injuries. After that handful everyone else needs to look in the mirror, especially the secondary. New England gave up 6 passes of 20 yards or more. The largest was 51 yards with an extra 15 tacked on for a hit to the head of the quarterback by Spikes. There was a 50 yarder from rookie QB Russell Wilson to WR Doug Baldwin and a 46-yard pass to WR Sidney Rice for a TD. Rice also had a 29-yard catch, Baldwin added a 24-yard TD catch and TE Zach Miller had a 22-yard catch. That's 222 yards on 6 plays, Wilson only threw for 293 yards total. This was a winnable game except for the big pass plays and the dumb penalties. Some costly mistakes on offense, like two intentional grounding calls and players not holding onto passes that hit their hands only to turn into INTs were just as bad. I expected a tough game in Seattle with a loud crowd, bad weather and a swarming defense but New England stood up to those challenges. They unfortunately shot themselves in the foot and cost themselves a win. Patriots at Seahawks Gamebook. This includes the box score, all the stats, play by play, drive charts and more.

Turning Point of the Game Patriots leading 23-17, go 3 and out with 3 minutes to play, Seahawks get a very good punt return to help set up the game winning drive. Offensive Player of the Game Seattle QB Russell Wilson was 16 of 27 for 293 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs. Defensive Player(s) of the Game Seahawks LB Bobby Wagner had 14 tackles (7 solo) and 1 tackle for loss.

text: Coming back from Glasgow on the train last weekend I became aware I was the subject of another passengers photos. I don't know how many he shot off , but when I look over he quickly was doing something else. I thought this was quite amusing so I looked away. After about five minutes he was back at it. I could just make him out in the window reflection. I smiled to myself and let he get on with it. Who knows, he may have got a cracking shot. I'm not that comfortable taking pictures of others in this way, but I love some of the candid/street work others post here. Have ever been snapped ? Would you, do you mind ? What would be your limit regards length of lens used ? I guess some things would be obvious like if you were out with your family. Is it acceptable or not ? Me, I'm not sure i really care. In fact sometimes I feel flattered. I even think how could I make the shot better for them. Btw. He was shooting with an iPhone. I know they can take great images. Cheers all.

are republic groups seeing this kind of disparity in drops (commando instead of bh)??
i kid you not .. my entire guild is bitching about bh loot dropping every boss. and cry on vent like it's a miracle if no bh loot drops off a boss.
maybe this raid lockout will change since we just got a bh healer. but still.. i'm just cuirous if maybe that class's gear is a little heavy on the drop rate.

I'm 37 years old, and I still believe in Santa Claus.
Okay, I suppose that's not entirely accurate. My heads knows that Santa isn't real, but my heart refuses to accept it. I'm pretty sick of my head lately, so I'm going with my heart.
I watched The Polar Express tonight with my daughters,
I was completely caught up in the thrill, the wonder,
the delight…the MAGIC.
I caught myself smiling from ear to ear and felt my heartbeat quicken with anticipation. For a while I forgot how old I was, and I felt lighthearted. I felt like a child again.
And then, oh…reality reemerged. I'm all grown up, with worries and responsibilities, and problems I can't solve. My fleeting moment of childlike joy was fading.
But I am a stubborn woman and sometimes that works to my advantage. Tonight is one of those nights. I have decided that I will not surrender my childlike joy. I'm not handing it over to grown-up reality and you can't make me!
I'm going to cling to that feeling of wonder like my toddler clings to my leg when she doesn't want me to leave. I want that sense of delight engraved on my brain with rainbow sprinkles. I'm going to pretend I'm a child again this Christmas.
Jesus likes children.
Jesus likes children so much He came to us as a child. He left explicit instructions about how we are to approach God if we desire to enter the kingdom of heaven. We are to "become like little children…" Trusting. Unpretentious. Joyful. Innocent.
That's what I'm missing with such a profound longing…my innocence. That's what I was reminded of while watching a magical movie with my girls. (Sigh) I miss my innocence.
Susan Ashton sings a great song about this called Innocence Lost.
"Lullabies and pennies in a wishing well
Sad goodbyes to friends of make-believe
A love so pure, a treasure
Now buried in the sea of me
Dorothy lost her way
Vincent lost his sanity
Thomas lost his faith
Sigmund lost his friend
Me, I lost my innocence
And I want it back again"
I understand that I will never be five years old again, but I desperately want some measure of that childlike innocence back again. I want unadulterated joy and wonder, the kind that makes me dance
and sing out loud.
Maybe that's part of what Jesus meant when He told us to become like little children. Humble in spirit, yes, but also innocent in heart and excited in our faith in Him. After all, He's everything we ever could and ever have wished for! He came true!!
And tonight as I got lost in my childlike detour, I realized something wonderful. My mind and my heart were rushing with thoughts of Him. Even better than the fantasy is the reality! I was tingling with joyful anticipation of Christmas day, not for the sake of presents brought by Santa, but because I can hardly wait to celebrate THE GIFT.
It seems this indulgence in make-believe has caused me to recognize all over again -- but with purer eyes – the JOY of Christmas! JESUS came as one of us; born a poor, helpless infant…He whom the universe cannot contain now sleeps cradled in Mary's arms.
There will be plenty of days ahead to turn our attentions toward the serious business of life, but for now, I say it is time to be filled with childlike awe and wonder and joy for the gift God has given us. It is time to recapture some of our innocence again, and linger there for awhile.
Emmanuel…God is with us…the angels are singing GLORIA! I think I'll join them.

Skip to comments.So, Mr Putin, what do you see in this nubile 24-year-old rhythmic gymnast?
Posted on 09/20/2010 3:24:32 PM PDT by Niuhuru
This the kind of question Mrs Merton might ask. "So, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, what do you see in a 24-year-old, sensationally beautiful gymnast with a penchant for posing semi-naked that you don't see in your lovely, middle-aged, matronly wife Ludmilla?"
It is also the kind of question that hardly needs answering for the millions who have tuned in to the YouTube film of Alina Kabaeva performing a decidedly provocative gymnastic routine.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Is the full title.
I'm 39 and just met a 23 year (recently turned 24) gal I'm pretty sure I'll marry.
what is his wife going to do with a 24-year-old gymnast?
Maybe she likes girls....I dunno.
Maybe she'll mellow him out. Or help him realx more. Or end up putting him in the hospital from exhaustion.
what, is the headline writer a homo?
I must be getting old, because I think this move is proof of insanity.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!! That is 'effin awesome!!!!!!
His Johnson?
Ya´ think the heathen will take off that crucifix now?
A name from a Russki fairy tale.
Can anyone tell the story without searching?
I think that this is the reason Putin is so pushing against the Muslim scum. He doesn't want to be unable to scout out the cute ones.
I hope Mrs Putin finds a hard body 30 year old capitalist.

During the summer of 1987, vacationers abandoned beaches when medical waste began washing up on the Jersey Shore. Tourists looking to escape the August heat were shocked to find hypodermic needles, pill bottles, and used gauze pads – improperly disposed medical waste from hospitals in New York – washing up on nearly seventy miles of coastline. When the tourists fled the area, New Jersey lost an estimated one billion dollars in revenues, not to mention the costs incurred by local and state governments while cleaning up the shoreline.
Crabs and fish are often caught in "ghost" nets or abandoned traps. A NOAA study found that ghost nets caused nearly one million dollars in losses to the local economy of Puget Sound between 2004 and 2007.
Floating or submerged marine debris can also be dangerous for recreational boaters and commercial shipping. A collision with a large piece of underwater debris can sink small boats, and discarded nets and lines can entangle engines and propellers.
In 2005, the US Coast Guard reported that marine debris caused 269 boating accidents, 116 injuries, 15 deaths, and three million dollars in property damage.

Marine animals are harmed by marine debris in two ways; ingestion and entanglement.
Small pieces of floating debris are often mistaken for food by wild animals. Birds and other creatures starve to death if their stomachs fill with plastic debris, which creates a false feeling of fullness. Some birds have been found feeding plastic debris to their young.
Plastic bags are frequently found in the stomachs of many animals, including sea turtles and whales.
Entanglement is another hazard. A phenomenon known as "ghost fishing" occurs when discarded fishing gear like nets or traps are left in the water. These items continue to trap all kinds of marine life, leading to suffocation or starvation.
Marine debris can also threaten entire ecosystems.
Invasive species can use marine debris to ride across the ocean to new environments, threatening local plant and animal populations. Since modern marine debris is more buoyant and durable than natural modes of transportation like driftwood, it can increase the range of wandering species.
Marine debris can also damage the delicate ecosystems in coral reefs.

Meet the new Patriots for 2012
TE Daniel Fells2011 stats: 19 receptions, 256 yards, 3 TD for Broncos
Bedard's comment: Patriots desperately needed depth, especially behind Aaron Hernandez. He's missed time his first two seasons and the offense struggles too much when he's out. Fells is an easy plug-and-play guy at the Patriots "F" position, which is a TE/WR hybrid.

Reasons for Yankees' Struggles Beginning to Catch onApril 21, 2008
As has been the case for previous Aprils, the Yankees' first month of the season has been less than extraordinary. The team is off to a 10-10 start, and has been unable to settle into any type of winning rhythm.
Unlike last April, when Alex Rodriguez exploded out of the gate with a record-setting month, an eventual prelude to his MVP season, the team has no single player carrying them on his back.
Still, the theme of inconsistency remains a constant in the Yankees early-goings. In 2007, it was the pitching staff who became riddled with injuries. In 2008, it is the other side of the battery that has been troubled with health concerns.
The trend began during spring training when a well-regarded Yankees prospect, Francisco Cervelli, was pummeled in a bang-bang play at home plate against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees' farmhand broke his wrist on the play, and the collision served as a catalyst for a rare pre-season brawl between the two teams.
Next on the line of catchers to be injured was Jorge Posada. The 36-year old backstop, a recent recipient of a four-year, $52.4 M contract, was diagnosed with a "dead arm" after a game at Kansas City in which he allowed four bases to be swiped. While Posada has not spent any time on the DL, he has played only one inning in the field since that time, and has served primarily as a DH since the injury.
Because of the injury to Posada, Yankees backup catcher Jose Molina stepped in to play. Jose, the brother to Yadier and Benjie, two other Molina-named catchers in the league, turned out to be a terrific replacement.
During his 10-game stint as the Yankees' starting catcher, Molina hit .364 with seven doubles, a mark which at the time, led the league. Despite his enormous productivity, Molina aggravated his hamstring trying to beat out an infield grounder at Fenway Park.
Molina's injury caused the Yankees to purchase the contract of 33-year old journeyman catcher, Chad Moeller. Moeller, since stepping in, has done a stellar job at the plate hitting .313 with one HR and three RBI, in only 16 ABs.
The Yankees' catchers have not hesitated to swing the bats, but the erratic tempo at which they have been interchanged may explain the Yankees' pitching woes to this point.
It would be unreasonable to claim that having the same catcher behind the plate would drastically alter the Yankees record to this point. That having been said, it's ignorant to think that it hasn't had taken some type of toll on the Yankees rotation.
The lack of cohesiveness in working with the same throwing partner may be the reason that the Yankees' starters have struggled to get into a winning rhythm early on.
While Chien-Ming Wang and Andy Pettitte have been reliable, the other Yankee starters simply have not been. Mike Mussina is 1-3 with a 5.75 ERA, Ian Kennedy is 0-1 with a 8.74 ERA, and Phil Hughes is 0-3 with a 8.82 ERA.
Mussina is a free agent after this year, and has worked with Posada primarily for the tenure of his eight-year Yankee career. The other two starters, Kennedy and Hughes, have a combined age of 44, which is less than their teammate's of last year, Roger Clemens. Both are still very inexperienced at the major league level, and like most pitchers, are creatures of habit.
It is difficult to develop the same habits when you work with a new catcher for each of your starts.
Hughes, after last night's loss to Baltimore, now has a losing record for three consecutive starts. This is the first time this has ever happened in his entire professional career.
It remains ambiguous as to when Posada will go back to calling games for the Bombers. But when he does, it will restore some much-needed order for the team. For the sake of the Yankees pitching staff, and their winning percentage alike, hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.

Monica found out at the very end that her father proposed marriage to Camila. Also Pablo found out that Nacho is a robber. It looks like Pablo is going to be blamed by the law for Nacho's crime because Nacho dropped one of Pablo's IDs beside the road. (P.S. It looks like the same road where Paula had her accident.)

Sf9 contamination - (Dec/21/2010 )
I am growing Sf9 insect cells for baculovirus expression system. My only problem is fungus infection that seems to occur randomly. Any suggestions? Antibiotics or antimycotics don't agree with insect cells are typically not added to media.
The only solution is to clean your equipment/room, change your solutions and maintain good sterile technique.
Hola, I don´t know why do you say it about antibiotics and antifungus.I´m working with insect cells since 80´s with fungizone P/S first, and after I changed to fungizone, amphotericin, and I haven´t problems with transfections, infections, titering and expressions and sometimes I have some contamination too. If you don´t want use them try to cure your infection and eliminate the antibiotic, antimicotic after. Buena suerte y Feliz Navidad

OTTAWA, Sept. 23, 2015 /CNW/ - Winnipeg will be among the top metropolitan economic performers in 2015, with real GDP forecast to rise 2.6 per cent, according to The Conference Board of Canada's Metropolitan Outlook: Autumn 2015.
"Winnipeg's economy has expanded at a rate of 2 per cent or more for the last four years. This year, growth is expected to hit a seven-year high thanks to upswing in manufacturing activity and a rebound in non-residential construction," said Alan Arcand, Associate Director, Centre for Municipal Studies.
A stronger U.S. economy and softer Canadian dollar are fuelling Winnipeg's manufacturing sector. In particular, Motor Coach Industries has signed a contract to deliver over 770 commuter coaches to New Jersey Transit over the next 6 years and New Flyer Industries has received transit bus orders from Orange County in California and Seattle's King County. Overall, output growth is expected to hit a solid 4.8 per cent in 2015, more than 2 percentage points higher than the national average.
Despite a dip in residential construction, local construction is forecast to expand by 2.3 per cent this year and 4 per cent in 2016, thanks to a healthy non-residential investment outlook, which includes the city's investment in public transportation infrastructure and a new railway underpass.
Winnipeg's services sector is also set to grow by 2.3 per cent in 2015, with all industries except for information and culture expected to see improvements. Transportation and warehousing will see the fastest growth, as it continues to benefit from the shipping requirements of a strong manufacturing sector.
Winnipeg's solid economic performance will spur an employment gain of 3.4 per cent this year, the largest since 1995. But even faster labour force growth will lift the unemployment rate from 5.8 per cent last year to 6.1 per cent in 2015.
Of the 13 CMAs covered in the report, Vancouver will have the fastest growing metropolitan economy in 2015. Toronto, Winnipeg, Halifax, and Montréal round out the top five spots. These cities are all on track to post economic growth above 2 per cent. In contrast, long-standing economic leaders Calgary and Edmonton face recession.

Toyota Hilux successor spotted
September 16, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Spy Photos , Truck , Europe , Toyota The midsize truck segment is suddenly seemingly exploding with new vehicles worldwide, even here in North America. Not only will the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon be available very soon, Toyota is already testing a replacement for its aging Tacoma and Honda has promised a Ridgeline replacement within the next 18 months . Also, the recently shown Nissan Navara is said to portend the future of our Frontier . Here's some more fresh evidence from Europe of this pickup boom with the next generation of its venerable Hilux in testing. Thanks to Top Gear and sometimes the evening news , the Hilux has built a reputation of being able to go just about anywhere. According to out spy shooter, this particular pickup was spotted during hot weather testing in southern Europe. Interestingly, a Volkswagen Amarok was along for the ride as a benchmark. Because the VW tends to offer a bit more comfort than the generally utilitarian Hilux, this could indicate Toyota is considering taking the new truck in a slightly comfier, more refined direction. Compared to the current model, this camouflaged tester sports a narrower front grille and headlights. The hood scoop is also absent here.
2012 Toyota Tacoma gets price increase, starts at $16,875*
September 8, 2011 by ToyotaBloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Car Buying , Truck , Toyota Toyota has announced that its slightly redesigned 2012 Tacoma mid-size pickup will start at $16,875 (*plus $810 for delivery). For those keeping track, that figure is exactly $510 more than it was in 2011. That sum will net the buyer a Regular Cab 4×2 equipped with a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual transmission . Opting for Ye Olde Four-Speed Automatic with the four-cylinder engine will add $900 to the bottom line, while ticking the box for the Access Cab will bring the sticker up to $19,665 with a manual transmission. The least-expensive Double Cab with a four cylinder and automatic (manual gearboxes are not offered on four-door models) will cost $22,175. The cheapest way to get into a V6 Tacoma is to opt for the PreRunner package and five-speed automatic gearbox for $22,760. Want four-wheel drive? Be prepared to write a check for $20,725 with the four cylinder (Regular Cab, five-speed manual) or $25,055 with the V6 (Access Cab and six-speed manual). Going for broke? Fill out the paperwork for a V6-powered Long Bed Double Cab with a five-speed automatic and be prepared to spend $27,835 for the privilege of driving it off the lot.
2012 Toyota Tacoma makes first web appearance [UPDATE]
September 3, 2011 by ToyotaBloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Truck , Toyota Turns out those images we ran of what appeared to be a 2012 Toyota Tacoma were indeed what they seemed. Thanks to the boys from Motor Trend , we now have a full spate of images along with some information on what makes the 2012 Tacoma different from its predecessor. The major updates center around a new front fascia that gives the Tacoma a more sturdy, angular look. There's a new pronounced upside-down triangle look (it's a Cylon!) to the grille that's echoed in the lower bumper and punctuated by new bulging headlamps. There are also newly standard tow hooks on all models. Buyers opting for the TRD Sport Package will be rewarded with turn signals integrated into the side mirrors along with chrome five-spoke wheels measuring 18 inches in diameter. Inside, the 2012 Tacoma gets a revised gauge cluster, center stack and HVAC controls to go along with optional waterproof fabric and all-weather flooring. Toyota's latest Entune infotainment and navigation system are also optional on high-end models. So far, mum's the word on price, and Motor Trend seems to think that some powertrain updates may be due in short order. We'll keep you abreast of any details as soon as they are available.
Toyota Hilux pickup gets fresh skin, more power for 2012
July 13, 2011 by ToyotaBloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Truck , Work , Toyota , Diesel 2012 Toyota Hilux – Click above for high-res image gallery When we think of Toyota icons, we tend to think of vehicles like the Prius , Land Cruiser , or perhaps the Corolla , the world's best-selling nameplate. But entire towns have been built and many wars have been fought on the back of Toyota's Hilux pickup. Celebrated the world over for its legendary ruggedness and anvil-like reliability, it's been the workhorse of choice everywhere from Africa to Antarctica for decades. In other words, the debut of a new Hilux qualifies as a genuinely important development in global transportation. And while this isn't an all-new model, there are a raft of changes worth noting for the new year. Starting with the obvious, the 2012 Hilux receives a completely new front clip, including new fenders headlights, bumper, hood, and three-bar grille. Additional changes include updated rear fenders, as well as new mirrors and alloy wheel designs. Inside, the changes are mostly minor, though there's a new upper dashboard piece and an available 6.1-inch touchscreen multimedia system. Beyond that, Toyota cites "greater colour consistency throughout" and some silver trim bits as key changes. Underhood, the diesel-powered two-wheel-drive Hilux 2.5 D-4D gets a new variable nozzle turbo to boost power to 144 horses (+24) and 253 pound-feet of torque, all while lowering fuel consumption.

"Not many specifics are available yet, but according to Game Informer you'll be able to play as one of three factions, take part in open-world player versus player combat in the province of Cyrodiil and vie for control of the throne of the Emperor."
It occurs to me, that a thousand years in the past would likely mean that Elsweyr was swampland, wasn't it? If I remember TES lore...
Anyway, personally, I expect this will fail. I can see it turning out the same way SWTOR did. Just because you can make a good single player RPG doesn't mean you can make a good MMORPG. I guess we will be able to judge more accurately when there's actually some information on it. I'd love for them to prove me wrong, but I suppose it's better to be sceptical than disappointed.
Seems a bit unusual to announce an MMO a mere year before its planned release date. I wonder what'll happen on the beta testing front.
They'll have to put a lot of effort into making sure they stick to the Elder Scrolls formula and not deviate into the modern MMO.
The game's also going to have to be ENORMOUS considering how big each of the "zones" were in single player games.

As long as they keep up the singleplayer im thrilled.
but if they cut that im not looking forward to it.
And Already The World Looks A Little Less Bright.....
I dont know if i will play it. It will depend on if it has a sub fee and how it looks.
Hmm let's see this seems familiar:
-awesome single player rpg. check;
-action taking place "before"(what the hell is it with the fascination for origins, why not offer some damn continuity to the story, everyone jumps on the bandwagon of the origins these days, so damn tired of this shit). check;
-big expectations for open world pvp. check;
This all reminds me of a game that was named something about some stars and wars, that one turned out into a pile of horseshit(for me at least, and I was a big fan, had some expectations to it).
P.S.: to all the fools that might jump to my post and go like "you dun even know what the game looks like, how silly your are to dismiss it like that", those 3 features, with accent on the origins part of the story or "what happened before"- we know enough of it from the rpg's, that is enough to turn me off from this future game.Going to take a look at the game in June when more info comes out, but I have a gut feeling what I'll see is another WoW type mmo with shallow story and game-play.Here hoping I'll be wrong for once and that they might try to build a different mmo like the upcoming guild wars.
I'm the Only one here who thinks that this idea Sucks?
Simple example is SW:Tor. We have to wait for another single player Elder Scrolls game 6+ year if Bethesda WILL develope SP game.
Bioware stated that SwTor is KOTOR 3,4,5,6 etc.
+ I Can't believe that Bethesda will complete game with WHOLE Tamriel or even parts of it in few years. Only if they've developed it for past 4 years.
As I said someplace else. Not everything has to be turned into an mmo. And besides, didn't the main developer say that he would never make it into an mmo? Hmm, guess they changed their mind.
Lets hope the Elder Scrolls single player series won't be affected.......But if I remember correctly they wanted to reboot the series for the next console generation......wonder how they are going to balance all this and how long till the next game that continues the story after Skyrim comes out.

"I just wanted them to hand us our award! But they were just talk!, talk!, talk!......" - Wrathion
"In 2007 the company [the ones making this mmo] announced a partnership with Simutronics for the use of HeroEngine."
oh god why...tor's engine...if this is true...this game has already failed.
Not going to say it's crap before it releases, but TES is not made to be mutliplayer...
100% awesome.

So I was talking to my friend Mia this afternoon – our usual chatty chat about how our day has gone, whose neighborhood is hotter (I win! Take THAT, Inland Empire!), what she's got for sale in her Smart Seeds Etsy shop, what I'm planting, and so on.
I mention it's time to take the redwood and coffee seeds out of their soak since it's been five days since I put them on the paper towels in their baggies, and keep talking about the 50 chia seeds I planted "by accident" because my hand slipped and I was going to —
"Wait. What?" Mia.
"What what? I'm going to plant some —" Me, rewinding.
"No. No no. Before that. What you said about baggies. What do you have in baggies?"
"Dawn redwood, those coffee tree seeds, and some other redwood. Why?"
"Why do you have them in baggies!?"
"Aren't I supposed to soak them? I read on the Internet how to —" (I think I hear my friend and ever-patient Master Gardener swearing under her breath in a most ladylike manner.)
Then she explains to me that seeds need to be able to BREATHE. Seed preparation isn't something that applies to every seed you get your hands on. Some want to be nicked. Some have to be soaked. Some you can just plant – like those 50 chia seeds. Why on earth are you planting 50 chia seeds anyway? (I can hear her giggling as she hangs up.)
I raced to the dining room table and liberated five dawn redwood seeds, three coffee tree seeds and a handful of the other kind of redwood seeds whose name escapes me.
I swear one gasped, "Ahhhh, air! I can breathe! Thank you, tall human with big glasses."
Don't believe everything you read on the Internet. Please. Even if your best friend is a Master Gardener with patience beyond measure.
Oh, and don't bother soaking chia seeds before you plant them, whether it's five or 50. They turn into goo. I read that on the Internet – and then I tried it (and they were right).
To your garden success!

Hello Gilles,
I would expect the 64bit options to vanish if you are trying to compile

a 64bit kernel on a 32bit system without cross-compiling. However, the
kernel name or version number is not part of .config.
I compile both kernels on a 32bit system without any amd64 libraries,
you don't need them for the kernel.
For the 32-bit kernel, I use
make CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=8 ARCH=i386 bzImage modules && \
rm -rf debian; CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=8 ARCH=i386 MODULE_LOC=`pwd`/../modules fakeroot make-kpkg --us --uc kernel_image modules_image kernel_headers kernel_source
and for the 64-bit kernel, I use
make CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=8 ARCH=x86_64 bzImage modules && \
rm -rf debian; MODULE_LOC=`pwd`/../modules fakeroot make-kpkg --arch=x86_64 --cross-compile=- --append-to-version=-64 --us --uc kernel_image modules_image kernel_headers kernel_source

--append-to-version=-64 will do this for you when building the package.
No, but compiler version and kernel-package are the same version as on

my build system.
gcc has been updated, but I think it's the Makefile variables and the

make-kpkg flags that do the trick. If compiling a 64-bit kernel on a
32-bit host, or a 32-bit kernel on a 64-bit host, you are
cross-compiling and need to tell make via the ARCH flag.

In my manual page: The functions fgets() and gets() conform to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C89'') and IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1''). The IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'') revision marked gets() as obsolescent, recom- mending the use of fgets() instead.

Generally, I disagree. It may be very important to someone to know which functions conform to the "stupid standard", possibly to limit something to some dialect only. And in this case it means that gets() probably won't conform to it in the future. You could think about this as a warning. > We have LOTS of functions that aren't standardised anywhere, racing > around saying they're not, helps no-one. Sure. What is the point? If there is no STANDARDS, there is no standards. Besides, this is false: I haven't done anything like that. > By all means document functions which do (or are intended to) conform to > some standard, and perhaps later remove that mention if the version of > the standard in question is obsolete, and newer versions don't include > the function in question (or where it is deprecated in them) - but there's > no need to include specific text saying that a function is not standard. > Simply not saying that it does conform to some standard should be enough. As something like gets() has been standardized for ages, it makes sense to explicitly note that this may no longer be true (with respect to POSIX). This way a reader (and whoever maintains the page) can also have some sense of history, which is always important in itself. Unlike e.g. ISO, POSIX dares to deprecate stuff, which is a good thing, IMO. In the future, if for instance a function f() is removed from glibc due this, we might want to follow and move f() to some compatibility layer. - Jukka.

What's That?

We asked readers of the Recipe Box blog to identify the kitchen item pictured. Here are some of the guesses:
A vase.
Measuring cup?
As many correctly guessed, it is a garlic peeler. It sells for $6.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond. This week's randomly selected winner is Pat Washburn.
Check out the Recipe Box (http://blog.timesunion.com/recipebox) on Friday for another item. Take a guess at its purpose, and you could win the item. You do not have to guess correctly to win.
