Concern always arises in cold periods over winter about the effect of the low temperatures on alfalfa winter survival. This is of some concern because certainly the alfalfa plant will die if exposed to cold enough temperatures.
However, generally, alfalfa survives the winter and its periodic cold spells. The reasons are:
1.) Alfalfa can survive temperatures of -10 to -15°F.
2.) This is the temperature of the crown, not the top growth.
The weather has certainly been a factor for many events and activities in the community and school being cancelled or postponed to another date this winter.
The policy with 4-H is that if school is cancelled, then the 4-H event for that day is cancelled. There are some exceptions if it concerns a district, state or livestock event.
Often notification is sent out through our office one call system. We ask our 4-H families to be aware of this system and to listen to the messages fully to receive the complete details.
Have you been looking through the ton of seed catalogs that have been popping up in your mailbox since late fall?
Do you look through them and make notes about varieties you want and admire the new exotic looking plants?
Do you think, oh, I can just buy one or two of those this spring at the garden center?
Think back to last spring: Were you disappointed when you went to buy those new and different varieties and the garden center had the same old petunias, geraniums, zinnias and whatever else you can think of?
Washington County 4-H volunteer, Tana Wells, was recognized by KY 4-H as one of the top five 4-H horse club leaders in the state at the KY 4-H Volunteer Forum Awards Banquet held Friday night at the Hyatt Regency in Lexington.
The awards night was a part of the three-day forum held every other year for volunteers across the state. The forum theme was "Celebrating 4-H with the Stories We Tell" and the forum included workshops, 4-H program exhibits, commercial exhibits and recognition events the volunteers attended.
When we get some relief from the cold weather, this month is the time to do some yard work.
February is the right time to prune most fruit trees.
Apples, plums, pears, cherries and just about any other tree fruit you can think of needs a little help now before they actively start pushing out new growth.
Peaches are the only ones you should wait on; prune them after flowering.
Pruning is a necessary process that will increase your yields, decrease insect and disease problems and give you a healthy tree in the process.
This is the latest updated from Dr. Will Snell, University of Kentucky College of Agriculture Food and Environment, Department of Agriculture Economics:
After several years of debate, extensions and much uncertainty, a new farm bill moved much closer to reality this week as the U.S. House voted 251 to 166 to support The Agricultural Act of 2014.
The U.S. Senate is taking up the bill very soon, with passage anticipated, and the President is expected to sign the 2014 farm bill into law within the next week or two.
4-H members can kick off the new year by getting involved in several upcoming activities.
4-H members can let their creative side shine by participating in the District 5 4-H Poetry Contest.
The rules for the contest were in the January 4-H newsletter and can be picked up at the extension office or accessed from the 4-H webpage, http://washington.ca.uky.edu.
Poems must be the original work of the 4-H member and must be titled. The poem can be on any subject.
As you know, January is probably the slowest time of the year for the garden, and this year, it is slower than normal because it has been brutally cold and a little snowy.
We actually had daffodils blooming last year at this time, which was ridiculously early even in protected areas.
There are a few things to discuss, however.
First of all, the fruit crops and most everything that you may have planted that are hardy to zone six are just fine.
Even though it's the middle of winter, it's not too early to start thinking about summer camp. Washington County 4-H will be camping June 24-27 at Lake Cumberland 4-H Camp.
Pre-camp applications are available, and for those that pay a deposit prior to April 1, their name will be put in a drawing for a $50 gift card.
For someone thinking about a summer job and who likes the outdoors, 4-H camp might be a good fit. All 4-H camps are now hiring staff for the summer camping season.
The 2014 Wheelbarrow Series is a group of classes covering various gardening topics. I hope you find something you would like to learn about, and I look forward to seeing you all.
If you would like more information call the Washington County Extension Office at 859-336-7741.
This year's selection is as follows:
Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 10:30 a.m. or Thursday, Feb. 13 at 6:30 p.m.

Easiest Homemade Snack: Granola Bars
really. It is incredibly easy. I know making your own granola bars sounds like
a crazy DIY project, akin to knitting your own Christmas stockings.
Trust me, it's not. All you have to do is mix the ingredients, press them into
a pan, and bake.
found that homemade bars are cheaper than store-bought ones and significantly
more delicious. There is no corn syrup, no mystery "natural and artificial
flavors"-just wholesome pantry ingredients.
the version in our October issue, we combined walnuts and cranberries. But the
variations are endless. I've toyed with substituting almonds, pecans, and
pistachios with dried cherries, figs, and apricots. I've thrown in cardamom and
nutmeg and used olive oil instead of vegetable oil.
basic formula is foolproof. Trust us, we made this recipe five times. (It's
quintuple-tested!) We tweaked the oven temperature (325°F resulted in a better crisp-chewy
balance than 350°F), the technique (microwave-toasting the oats for
a richer flavor), and the storage tips (still tasty after frozen for 1 month,
but a little stale after that). Homemade granola bars are, quite simply, the
best homemade snack.

So here is another popular Robertson redneck that everyone likes. Up next we will explore this lesson as we learn "how to draw Jase Robertson", step by step from Duck Dynasty. Jase is the son of Phil and his job around the family business is to tweak and modify the duck caller by hand along with other employees that do the very same thing. His full name is Jason Silas Robertson. If you are a fan of Duck Dynasty you most likely seen Jase just hanging about as he is a laid back type of dude but he never goes a day without aggravating his brother Willie. Drawing Jase should be fun, and simple just like the rest of the bearded crew.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, a former U.S. senator from Colorado, announced Wednesday he will step down from his Cabinet position by the end of March to return to the Centennial State.
Salazar was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004, but moved to President Obama's Cabinet in 2009 before finishing his term. After eight years in Washington, D.C., Salazar said in a statement that he is looking forward to returning to his family in Colorado.
"I am forever grateful to President Obama for his friendship in the U.S. Senate and the opportunity he gave me to serve as a member of his cabinet during this historic presidency," he said in the release.
Born in Alamosa and known for his bolo ties, cowboy hat and boots, the fifth-generation Coloradan and rancher inherited a department that was fraught with scandal, allegations of incompetence and ethical lapses, The Associated Press reported upon Salazar's unanimous confirmation.
An inspector general's report at the time said: "Short of a crime, anything goes at the highest levels of the Department of the Interior," according to the AP.
But during his tenure, Salazar worked to "usher in a new era of conservation," according to a White House news release. The release cited Salazar's accomplishments in promoting renewable-energy projects, and strengthening relationships with Indian Country.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said in a statement that Salazar continued to help Colorado in his Cabinet post.
"His many accomplishments included establishing the expansive Rocky Mountain Greenway across metropolitan Denver and creating a remarkable conservation area in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico," the statement said.
Jim Carpenter, Salazar's former campaign manager and state director, praised his old boss for his creativity, energy and work ethic.
When staff seemed reluctant to work on weekends or holidays, Carpenter said Salazar would always respond: "You've still got to feed the cows on Christmas."
Salazar also served as the Colorado Attorney General, first elected in 1998 and re-elected in 2002. Michael Bennet, the Denver Public Schools superintendent at the time, filled the final two years of Salazar's term in the Senate before winning the seat in 2010.
In a statement, Colorado Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio called Salazar balanced – solving current crises with planning for the future, particularly with renewable energy.
Salazar's brother, John, is Colorado's agricultural commissioner and a former U.S. representative for Colorado's 3rd district.
"I know this was a tough decision for Ken because he values the important work being performed in the Interior Department, but we were raised with a strong family bond," John Salazar said in a statement.
Colorado's current senators are active in committees that share missions similar to the Interior Department: Bennet is the chairman of the Conservation, Forestry and Natural Resources Subcommittee, and Sen. Mark Udall is chairman of the National Parks Subcommittee.
"As a senator, Ken's service to Coloradans was unrivaled in our state's history," Bennet said in a statement. "As Interior secretary, his work now leaves a long legacy characterized by the thoughtful stewardship of our nation's lands and waters and a long list of impressive accomplishments."
Udall agreed: "Ken and I have worked together for more than a decade to protect Colorado and the West's land, air and water. He understands that we don't inherit the Earth from our parents – we borrow it from our children," he said in a statement.

Global Keratin
Global Keratin Strawberry Keratin Treatment, Light Wave
- Overview
- Features
- Works on all hair types
- Leaves hair more manageable
- Hair is soft and shiny
- Provides frizz-free, smooth results
- Cuts styling time in half
- Provides long term conditioning and protection
- Lasts up to 5 months between salon treatments
- We recommend gently shampooing the hair twice with Global Keratin Clarifying Shampoo to remove excess styling products and build-up, and to help open the cuticle.
- Towel dry hair to remove excess moisture. Detangle the hair with a wide tooth comb or vent brush. Section hair into 3 parts.
- Place a cape and towel around the neck of the client. Wearing gloves, shake the product well before opening and pour 1 oz. of the keratin treatment in an application bowl adjusting amount of product used according to the length and thickness of the hair.
- Start at the nape using 1/4 inch to 1/2 sections, lightly apply the product with applicator brush 1/4 inch away from the scalp, then mid-shaft and then ends.
- Thoroughly massage the product into the hair with your fingertips. Comb through with fine tooth comb for even distribution and to remove excess product.
- Do not over saturate the hair with keratin treatment.
- If hair becomes too dry, moisten with water using a spray bottle
- Avoid contact with scalp, skin and eyes.
- Make sure the entire hair shaft is completely covered with the keratin treatment.
- Use round brush to blow dry your hair straight. For best results, use a round ion ceramic brush and a blow dryer on medium heat setting. This will help start the sealing process of the cuticle.
- Start blow drying the client's hair at the nape area working your way up until all the hair is 100% dry.
- Always point the blow dryer away from your client's face. Make sure the hair is completely dry before proceeding to the ironing. After this step, the hair will already look beautiful.
- Remove gloves and the towel around neck. For the ironing process you will need a titanium flat iron that reaches 450 Fahrenheit degrees.
- Starting at the nape, create 1/4 inch sections of hair.
- Tap the roots and slowly slide the flat iron from root to ends. Be careful not to burn the scalp and ears.
- For hard to reach areas, use a mini iron that reaches 450 Fahrenheit degrees.
- Continue this process until all of the hair has been ironed. With repeated iron passes over each section, the hair will be sealed with a silky, shiny, straight look.
- Use your professional judgment to determine how many passes are needed with the flat iron.
- DO NOT shampoo hair for 48 hours or restrain hair tightly with a hair accessory or apparel.
- Thermal protectors are part of the Hair Taming System with Juvexin to help prevent hair damage during the ironing. You may lower the temperature of the iron to accommodate any area's of the hair that may have been damaged prior to the keratin treatment.
- About the brand
The Global Keratin Hair Taming System with JUVEXIN special formulation of proteins and is found exclusively in Global Keratin products. Unlike other keratins, JUVEXIN is non-hydrolyzed, maintaining all of nature's healing power. Laboratory tests reveal that the harsh process of hydrolyzation reduces keratin proteins to inactive fragments that cannot effectively bond to hair or offer rejuvenating effects. This formula is for those clients who want to keep their wave or curl but remove frizz and cut their styling time in half.
For Professional Use Only.
Note: If client desires to have a color service and a keratin treatment the same day, apply and process the color immediately before applying keratin treatment.
Global Keratin is the first and only company to harness the superior beauty benefits of Juvexin. By infusing hair with pure Juvexin, critical amino acids and proteins remain intact. Derived from healthy pristine sheep wool through an environmentally-friendly process - it works on all hair types leaving it more manageable, soft, shiny and frizz-free for up to 5 months between salon treatments.

When the sports arena that anchors the $4.9 billion Atlantic Yards project finally opens in September, after more than eight years of lawsuits and construction delays, it will undoubtedly transform Downtown Brooklyn.Downtown Brooklyn? Didn't the Times more than five years ago acknowledge in a mega-correction that Downtown Brooklyn was an inaccurate designation for the project?
In a 4/17/11 article about living in Prospect Heights, the Times included Atlantic Yards and the arena site within the bounds of the neighborhood. See graphic at right.
(Arguably, the northern and western edges of the arena site, which border wide avenues, might extend Downtown Brooklyn. But walk down Dean Street from the surface parking lot on the southeast block of the site, and enter from Dean Street? That's not Downtown.)
Also, was it merely "more than eight years of lawsuits and construction delays"? What about Forest City Ratner's desperate search for new capital, from a Russian oligarch seeking to burnish his image to Chinese investors seeking green cards?
Pitting "most officials" vs. "some residents"
The initial paragraph continues:
But will the 19,000-seat Barclays Center, soon to be home to the Nets and host to Jay-Z, the circus and 200 other events a year, help its neighborhood become an epicenter of entertainment and commerce, as most officials predict? Or will it be a vortex of traffic, trash and other civic headaches, as some residents fear?So it's "most officials" vs. "some residents"? What if it's both?
After all, what "most officials" predict is not exactly a stretch, since an arena, by definition, attracts certain kind of entertainment and commerce.
And won't it create a vortex of traffic, as the Times itself has warned, as well as other untoward local effects, as Atlantic Yards Watch regularly documents?
Groundbreaking this spring
The second paragraph:
Wedged into the triangle between Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues, on top of a rebuilt transit hub, the arena has already closed streets, bred rats and infuriated neighbors during its construction. And the ribbon-cutting will not be the end. Forest City Ratner intends to break ground this spring on the first of 16 more buildings planned for the area around the stadium: a 32-story residential tower that could make pioneering use of lower-cost modular construction.Well, to be precise, it's actually a triangle plus rectangle, since three of the four streets around the arena meet at right angles. And it's adjacent to a transit hub, but on top of one new staircase.
As for Forest City Ratner's intentions to break ground "this spring," keep in mind that the developer's been moving the timetable back steadily.
(I do think they must break ground before the arena opens, for reasons I will explain next week. But I think there's a good chance the modular announcement was used to pressure construction unions.)
The flourishing of Brooklyn?
The final paragraph:
The ambition of Atlantic Yards speaks to the flourishing of Brooklyn development in general: from rental high-rises downtown to boutique hotels in Williamsburg to big-box stores in East New York. Walmart is hoping to muscle its way there this year, having already made donations to the community and the charity of Marty Markowitz, the borough president.Actually, Brooklyn's been doing pretty well--except in office space--all these years. The ambition of Atlantic Yards speaks to Forest City Ratner's creative effort to raise capital and cut costs, often with the help of the city and state.
The Times's orbit
It's worth noting that the overview article breaks down predicts by journalistic beats--courts, the economy, immigration, etc.--and, among the outer boroughs, only Brooklyn gets its own section.
So, even though Brooklyn gets far less attention than it deserves--how many reporters does the Times have assigned to the borough of 2.4 million? one, maybe two--it's better off than the Bronx. Many fewer readers, advertisers, and indie creatives up there.

This editorial from the latests issue of one of our favorite online magazines TheOnes2Watch has us drenched in such nostalgia for the 1950s. Infused with a So-Cal rockabilly flare, a heavy dose of androgynous behavior, just the right hint of punk attitude, and a whole lot of killer denim looks it's perfection to say the least. Acid wash jeans, mid-rise skinnies, denim vests and jackets are stylistically paired to perfection with simple tees and tanks for a true 50s look—no grease need be applied.

Snag Proof Bobby's Perfect Frog 1/2oz
There's almost no lure that can't be improved and made more effective with a little tweaking and modifying. We all know how effective the Snag Proof Moss Master Frog is when fished on mats, pads, and even open water. Now the frog master, Bobby Barrack, has made it even better with a few tricks and modifications he's used to win big on the California Delta. The result is Snag Proof's Bobby's Perfect Frog.
The first difference you'll notice with the Perfect Frog is that it uses the Gamakatsu Extra Wide Gap Double Frog Hook. Proven to immensely improve your hookup rate, these extra wide gap hooks allow the body of the Perfect Frog to depress further below the points, giving you a better chance to stick the fish. The Perfect Frog also features Snag Proof's ITT technology, which consists of a tube that runs through the center of the frog that the hook slides into. This means no air can get into the cavity, so the Perfect Frog never sinks. Another secret that Bobby Barrack revealed with the Perfect Frog is the fact that these frogs will walk-the-dog much more efficiently because he trimmed the portion of the bait that the rubber legs run through. This lessens the amount of plastic on the end of the bait for less resistance and less material to get in the way of setting the hook. The Perfect Frog also comes complete with internal rattles. You'll also notice the great new colors! If you like throwing frogs, you'll love the Perfect Frog!

From: Stanley Socha: Tolland, CT 1/7/17
Comments: Perfect is absolutely correct! This frog is my favorite hollow body frog to fish. Perfect size, shape & weight, not to mention available in several awesome colors, for pad crashing or open water swimming. I highly recommend you give this one a try, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

Comments: Best all around frog on the market. Use on the thickest mats, scattered grass, or In open water it doesn't matter this frog will catch them!
From: Trawick: Cullman, AL 10/9/15
Comments: One of the best frogs on the market because of great hook sets and absolutely no water in the frog!! Would recommend this to anyone who likes frog fishing. Favorite colors are florida bass, wild bullfrog and smoke
From: Mason: TX 6/30/15
Comments: To me this is the best all around frog on the market. It's the perfect combination of action, hookup %, profile and colors. This bait works equally well in Lilly pads, on top of a thick grass mat or working through sparse cover and open water. Very easy to walk yet has the ability to chug and slap the water in a straight line, which are my 2 favorite retrieves. This bait flat gets bit, and when it does it has the best hookup percentage of any frog I've found. Get a Fred's frog for when it's sunny, and a variation of black for when it's cloudy, and go to work!
From: Ben: Omaha, NE 5/5/15
Comments: This is my favorite frog, bar none. Bass crush this frog, and they lock onto the Gamakatsu hook until you pop it out. I call the Bobby's Perfect Frog my all-terrain lure. I don't hesitate to throw it into, over, or under the thickest brush because it simply doesn't snag, and it is tough. I like to pause it after the cast, then slowly walk it a short distance, then walk it a little more with faster twitches, and continue faster until the water surface flushes! Love this frog!
From: Marc: San Juan Capistrano, CA 3/24/15
Comments: It is one of the best one for vegetation field in Japan as well as US. And I have been using Snag Proof frogs for more than 30 years. I strongly recommend every one to use it at your favorite field. You can get more strikes than other branded frogs.
From: Shiinichi: Japan 1/28/15
Comments: The Bobby Perfect Frog is the best I have ever used. The softer body gives you move hookups, and now it's designed not to take on water. My favorite color is Smoky, me being from Tn.
From: Tom: Charleston, TN 1/27/15
Comments: It has to float right, walk right, skip right, cast right, with the right firmness, colors, skirts, and hooks. All of those factors are exactly why I choose Snag Proof Frogs. The Bobby's Perfect Frog is THE absolute best hollow body frog for fishing over matted vegetation. If your body of water has grass milfoil, hydrilla, willow weed, lilly pads you name it, the Bobby's Perfect Frog is the Alfa Dog of frogs.
From: Rob: Lexington, SC 1/23/15
Comments: Best frog period for fishing Calif Delta cheese. By far, the very best hook up ratio due to hook/body position and gama hooks. I use 7' hvy action rod with 50# braid. Doesn't walk the dog that great, but which frogs do? Not any I've tried with slack line.
From: Keith: Sacramento, CA
Comments: Out of the box, hook sets are not as good as other frogs as the hooks tend to be too horizontal and will often pierce and stick into the body of the frog. Good action and cast-ability. Just okay- not my favorite.
From: Dave: Towson, MD, USA
Comments: best frog tryed them all this frog is the only one you need
Comments: Was and still is the best frog on the market. There are many new ones out there, some are prettier; but the Snag Proofs are still #1. They walk easy, cast well; and the hookups are solid. I've fished many of the others and I keep coming back to these.
From: AC: CA
Comments: 3-5-2012 Caught an 8-13, 8 and 7 pounder and a hundreds of smaller bass this past February in Florida! I never had any issues, it works great right out the box!
From: TAT: Canton, OH
Comments: I used on today on my friends micro just messing around b/c i never get hit on hollow bodies! i tossed this TWO 6lb... needs sharper hooks
From: FL
Comments: combines three frogs in one. casts like a bronzeye, is as weedless as a scum frog, and walks like a scumdog! it comes in alot of great colors too. when I order some more frog gear, I will get bobby's perfect frog,ish's phat frog,and the guntersville frog. I am excited to try snag proof frogs, and they will probably be great.
From: Alex: Port Barre, LA
Comments: my other comment is right below this i went fishing last saturday november 13th and got 2 blow ups but im new 2 frog fishing and have a medium action spinning rod and missed both fish but i believe this frog is one of the best ive seen. it has insane exposed hooks, super soft body, and great skirt/legs! once i get a baitcaster i will put a new review on it right now i give it a 4/5 oh yea it walks extremely well!!!
From: Bassin' Cali
Comments: i have this frog in the cicada color and it looks great! dk how well it will do but next time i go fishing but its november so idk if they'll bite it
Comments: I wouldn't quite call this frog a "perfect" frog. It is a decent frog, but the hook is a little too loose for my taste, and the body fills up with water a little too quick. I'll keep this frog as a back-up though.
From: Skunk: Livemore, CA
Comments: I used to swear by the Spro Bronze eyes but now i dont think i will use another frog. I have been using the Tweety color here at Clear Lake while on vacation and it has been out producing all of my other frogs. Agreat frog
From: Bassboy18: Kelso, WA
Comments: i use the florida bass color and fish frogs 70% of the time and hands down best to walk across water, caught smallmouth,largemouth, pickeral and pike on it with teeth holes in it and still hammering them. also used mann's brand, spro and scum frog i like these the best. my frog set up is a shimano voltaeus 6'6" medium action with bass pro qualifier bait caster reel with 6.4:3 gear ratio. the softer the rod tip, the better you can walk it and the more action you can get out of it, i have all different types of lenghths and diff action casters and that is the best frog rod for me along with these frogs
From: Caleb: Maryland
Comments: Great frog...I just wish it was a little heavier for longer casts.
From: Ted: Blair, NE
Comments: The things i like about this frog are the things i don't like about the spro, and vice versa.
this frog has a better hook up ratio than the spro. the spro fouls up less. the perfect has a smaller profile than the bronzeye which also helps with the hook ups. i prefer the spro, but this is my go to when i have too many short stikes. the bronzeye jr is a good compromise.
From: Neil: Nor Cal
Comments: Very good frog, great colors and action but like other reviews have said after a few fish it does rip. BUT THAT MEANS GREATER HOOKUPS plus the frog is cheaper than other brands like spro, tru-tungsten. Great frog.!!!!!!
From: Gunnar: Viroqua, WI
Comments: Hands down best frog on the market. If you are concerned about having to squeeze some water out here and there or the frog ripping after a few fish then you might wanna go with another frog. Some of these frogs sink when you get em but slide the body back and look for a keel weight.. some have em.. cut it off and your in buisness. Soft frog bodys equal good hook ups. Bobbys the best frogger in the game.. so is the frog.
From: Ceaser: California Delta
Comments:One of the most consistent frogs on the market. Bobby Barrack was the forefront of frog fishing, and still in many ways is. This frog, and the design he put forth in it, is wonderful. The hooks are sticky sharp, and they have a good hookup ratio. The only time I've had one sink was after a couple dozen fish, more than worth it. Don't use anything less than 30lb braid here, and go heavy on the setup. Fish it enough, and you can stick some very nice fish on this bait. This bait appeals to better fish with its size, and you will be sorry if you fish this in heavy cover on a lighter setup.

The Best Quotes From Mel Gibson's First Post-Tapes Interview
With a new, allegedly-not-terrible movie called The Beaver opening in limited release on May 6, Mel Gibson has finally faced the music and broken the silence that's followed the release of those incendiary tapes back in the summer of 2010.
These were the ones of heated phone conversations with ex-girlfriend and co-parent Oksana Grigorieva, which included the observation, "You look like a f—king bitch in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of ni—ers it'll be your fault," as well as a short lecture on the proper etiquette for inter-Jacuzzi oral sex exchange. (You can listen to them here, or read a full transcript is here.)
Here, then, are the choicest bits from Gibson's interview with Deadline.com:
On how he could let them happen:
"[Looks at the ceiling and shakes his head and sighs] Who anticipates being recorded? Who anticipates that? Who could anticipate such a personal betrayal?"
On his perceived racism and misogyny:
"I've never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality — period. I don't blame some people for thinking that though, from the garbage they heard on those leaked tapes, which have been edited. You have to put it all in the proper context of being in an irrationally, heated discussion at the height of a breakdown, trying to get out of a really unhealthy relationship. It's one terribly, awful moment in time, said to one person, in the span of one day and doesn't represent what I truly believe or how I've treated people my entire life."
On the cast of The Hangover Part 2 not wanting to work with him:
"You have to let that go...It's okay. You just have to let that go."
On Whoopi Goldberg's support:
"I like her even more now because she got it...I love her for it."
On fame:
"It's like trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube, but you can't. The toothpaste is out there. You realize change has happened."

Triple network convergence is expected to give China economy US$100 billion boost, says a new $900 report from Digitimes Research titled "Network convergence in China: Government policy and market effects."
The Chinese government has been pushing for convergence of the country's three big networks - the Internet, telecom networks, and TV broadcasting networks - using various measures, such as through the Triple Network Convergence Policy it laid out early in 2010. While the Triple Network Convergence Policy reiterates many government policies set out previously, one area that is expected to have significant effects on the market is the government's step to grant permission for TV broadcasting firms and telecom carriers to enter and do business in each other's realms.
The report indicates triple network convergence will stimulate development in the equipment manufacturing industry and information services industry, to the tune of 688 billion yuan of investment and consumption in the next three years, including 249 billion yuan for the construction of the IT service system for video content and 439 billion yuan for IT services and final end-user consumption. It will also create 200,000 job opportunities.
This Digitimes Research Special Report examines China's Triple Network Convergence Policy from a macro and micro point of view. In addition to outlining triple network convergence details, Digitimes Research analyzes the effects the promoted policies will have on players in China's telecom and broadcast industries.

Made in Heaven was originally launched in England 1969, a brand which is now in it's reincarnation, MiH Jeans (still remaining true to it's British roots). From Farrah Fawcett to Jane Birkin in the 70's to Claudia Schiffer and Sarah Jessica Parker today, the jeans are just as heavenly. That's all due to the creative master behind it all, Chloe Lonsdale. Read on for our Exclusive Interview and learn more about the brand as well as Chloe's favorite movies, a dream vacation, and the secret belongings in her handbag! And don't forget to check out the MiH lookbook review.
DT: Lets start from the beginning. What inspired you to get this brand off the ground?
MiH: I grew up with my parents in the denim industry and I always knew I wanted to follow in their footsteps. My Mum had an amazing sense of style and was my muse and inspiration from day one.
DT: Are there other denim brands you consider your immediate competition? How do you differentiate yourself from the hundreds of popular denim brands afloat right now?
MiH: We compete with a variety of brands in the premium denim market from J Brand to Citizens of Humanity but we all have our different aesthetics and people come to us for our incredible fit and timeless jean jeans which set us apart.
DT: Do you have any pre-designing rituals?
MiH: Every design season always starts with a trip down the Portobello Road, which is right on the doorstep of where I live, and a selection of vintage garments that capture the mood of the season. I then attend the denim fabric fair in Paris because you can only really design a jean when you have picked the perfect denim for it.
DT: Describe the person who represents your ideal target customer—the customer you have in mind when you're planning a collection.
MiH: We design for a free-spirited and independent woman who has an effortless sense of style and a personality in the way she wears her jeans.
DT: Can you give us hint about what's next for following or upcoming season?
MiH: For Autumn-Winter 2011 we have a lot of rich mid-blues with a soft velvety hand feel which are available across all our core fits. We have also launched our MiH Collection, a range of key outerwear pieces for every occasion: the perfect tuxedo to wear with jeans, a battered leather jacket for everyday cool, a beautiful shearling wrapper and a Tibetan gilet for a touch of 70s styling.
DT: What would be your dream collaboration? Any plans of that in the future?
MiH: Designing jeans for Celine would be incredible. I absolutely love the aesthetic and it would show how the woman who buys into high fashion can combine it with denim for a more easy everyday look. No one dresses head to toe in one brand anymore and collaborating with a designer label is a great way of speaking to the customer about how she can bring a modern edge to her jeans.
DT: What are the most popular washes/fits in the line? What are your favorites, and how would you style them?
MiH: The most popular fits seem to change all the time. Our Marrakesh has definitely come to the fore in the last few seasons because it has the perfect kick flare, but for someone who wants something less dramatic the Sugarland has the most perfect boot cut. Our Kara Navy Blue wash is unique in the denim market, always a bestseller and available every season, but for AW11 we also have the beautiful Hutton wash – a rich deep indigo. The Bird wash is my favourite in both the Sugarland and slim-leg Boston. It has a lovely jeansy feel and a great point of difference.
DT: Do you have any favorite/least favorite denim trends right now?
MiH: Seeing the return of the wider leg is lovely as it is so much more flattering on a curvy figure, something most woman know something about! My least favourite denim trend is neon bright colours, but maybe that is just reflective of my age!
DT: Street style and style blogs are huge in the industry right now as a source of inspiration, influencing the high end labels rather than vice versa. How much does street style influence your designing?
MiH: Watching what people are wearing on the street is everything. When you are designing it is so important to keep your ideas relevant and always be looking to how people are wearing things from the simple way they turn up their hem, to maybe a jean or item of clothing they have had for 20 years and how it has aged. Colour combinations, layering… The list of little things you can pick up is endless. You never want to be one step behind.
DT: How many pairs of denim do YOU own?
MiH: Not as many as I you would think! I stay true to my old favourites, although each season I top them up with new washes. I live in my London jeans.
DT: Favorite celeb wearing your brand?
MiH: Claudia Schiffer wears them so well, or else Gwyneth Paltrow. A new convert to MiH!
DT: When it's time to chill out and have a drink, what's your poison?
MiH: Since it's English summertime, it has to be Pimms or a glass of rose wine.
DT: Any dream-vacation destinations (this summer)?
MiH: I'm going to Umbria with my husband, two little boys and our extended family. Some relaxation would be nice but I imagine it will be quite busy!
DT: What are your favorite classic flicks for great fashion?
MiH: There are so many for different reasons. I love movies like Breathless for the beautiful, classic 70s French styling, and I recently watched I Am Love with Tilda Swinton and was really inspired by the colours and silhouettes.
DT: What are three things you always carry with you during the day?
MiH: Unfortunately my answer to this is quite boring! My Blackberry, keys and my passport, as I never know when I'll be getting on a plane.
You can visit their website to shop and "like" them on Facebook as much as we do.

- Category: Retired Challenge Galleries
Here is my layout for the Thursday Blog Challenge found HERE. I used Jode's tutorial on blending with gradients and blended the Chinese "Luck" character from a photo I took of a wall hanging. I blended onto my backgrounds using a linear gradient. Try it!
Journaling reads:
"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Seneca"
For this layout I used:
BMU Asian Collection Biggie
BMU SS Paper Templates: Edgers Biggie
and my own photo
Wow This is great...I love the blending with the luck sign also. Really pretty.
What a great way to use this lovely wall hanging piece and make it personal to you, the gentle blend is symbolic too... love the Chinese red and the black ink edging. Gorgeous!
This is really lovely. I love the bright colour and the symbol. Your gradient blending is lovely.
The soft blending really gives this interest. I love the Chinese red and black. Well done!
Beautifully done. I have to try this one. You have set the bar pretty high here.
Beautiful blending. Love the quote!
Beautiful, soft blending and I LOVE the wonderful colors! Perfect quote too. It looks like it should be in a frame on one of my walls.
Lovely page! I like the simplicity and contrast of the large Chinese character with the small quote. The red and black make your page very striking.

Hairopoulos: It's stunning that we're still talking about Texas' quarterback problems
SportsDay colleges writer Kate Hairopoulos answered reader questions during a live chat on Thursday. Here are some highlights:
Texas really isn't committing to a starting QB for a bowl game? This is nuts.
Kate Hairopoulos: It's really stunning that we are still talking about Texas quarterback problems in December, isn't it? It's time to get this solved once and for all. I think the problem at the position has certainly added to the angst in Austin about the direction of the program. It's been rough since Colt left, which is just too long for a program like Texas.
I really like the fact that the Big 12 doesn't have a championship game. No need to beat the same team twice. Do you think it stays that way for the next five or six years, or will it add teams and one more game in December?
Kate Hairopoulos: The powers that be have repeatedly said that they don't need a championship game. I can see their point at this stage. Who would they add to the league that would bring a lot of value? The new TV deal is done. Big 12 teams *should* have an easier road to the BCS title game without having to win that extra game. But I never predicted Rutgers to the Big Ten, so we'll have to see how realignment continues to play out...
My biggest complaint about the bowl season in college football: when large schools scoop away successful coaches from small schools, forcing them to walk away from a piece of work that is unfinished. In basketball, the raiding doesn't start until after the NCAA tourney is finished. No complaints bout upward movement, but wait until the season is finished. Why can't they impose a moratorium on this hiring process?
Kate Hairopoulos: I agree with you. It stinks for the players, especially. I covered SMU-Pitt in the BBVA Compass Bowl last year and practically the entire Pitt coaching staff had left by the Jan. 7th bowl. I feel really badly for the LA Tech players who lost their coach AND a chance to play in a bowl because of their school administration.... But to get to the point.... can't impose a moratorium because of recruiting. Signing Day comes awfully fast in early February.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Commissioner Gary Kofford introduced an idea to the Emery County Public Lands Council of hiring Val Payne to work as a conciliator on the land use bill being worked on for the county. Payne is a former public lands director for Emery County and recently retired from the Utah State public lands office. Payne has recently started his own consulting business called Payne Relief, natural resource consulting, NEPA certified, public lands planning, environmental assessment review and conflict resolution. Payne has 30 years working with public land issues.
Kofford said they have been working on a draft contract for the past eight weeks. He hopes the hiring of Payne will move the Emery County Public Lands use bill forward in a more organized effort. Payne would receive $25,000 for a year's worth of service to both the county and SUWA and they would pay half the cost. Kofford viewed the arrangement as a real compliment to Payne to have SUWA agree to the arrangement. "The county feels it's a good fit. Val is aware of the county's feelings on public lands."
Lands council member Guy Webster asked who Payne would report to. Kofford said all the details haven't been worked out yet. Payne would take a position in the middle and work to bring both sides together. SUWA at one extreme and the county at the other. "That's his charge to bring together," said Kofford.
Audience member Clifford Snow wondered if the arrangement would be transparent.
Kofford said public lands director Ray Petersen has been facilitating the field trips to the desert. "As you leave, (the field trip) the county still has their position and SUWA has their position and there is no middle ground. To have a land use bill we have to reach an agreement that is acceptable to all. SUWA gives, the county gives, this is what we are trying to do with this mediation. Somewhere we need to pull together and come to a consensus."
In the next public lands council Payne will present his outline of how to go about reconcilling both sides to get a land use bill put together that all can agree upon.
Webster said everything Payne does will have to be out in the open. "If the public knows that Emery County is negotiating with SUWA, that might upset the public. I feel there is too much negotiation with SUWA. I have been fighting for the roads we want open and SUWA wants them closed. I don't want to negotiate with SUWA. We all know what SUWA wants and that is the America's Red Rock Wilderness Act. All that pink and blue area on the map," said Webster.
Bruce Wilson, lands council chairman said he sees the process as bringing everyone in on an equal footing.
Ray Bloxham, from SUWA, said Val Payne will work at information gathering. He sees the process as having several options along the way to negotiating a bill.
Mistie Christiansen, lands council member said she sees the need for more manpower for the county as they work towards a land use bill, but there will be a public perception problem the county will have to deal with if they partner with SUWA. Christiansen said she has been on the council for several months and doesn't see where the county is any closer to having a bill finalized and she believes Val can help the process along. "Be careful how you handle it," cautioned Christiansen.
Priscilla Burton, lands council member, said, "Would it be better if the county handled the whole bill?"
Kofford said the county couldn't afford the whole bill for Payne and the $12,500 isn't in the budget either. Kofford said this discussion was why he brought the issue up in lands council to get everyone's input. No decision has been made regarding Payne's contract and this decision to hire Payne or not can only be made in a commission meeting as an agenda item.
Webster said he feels the monetary burden of hiring Val should be shared not just by the county, but all the other entities who have a stake in public lands, water users, grazers, ATV and motorcycle clubs; maybe they would all want to contribute.
Payne said he will work to see all interests are represented on a piece of ground. He said nothing has come out of the field trips already conducted. He likened the issue to a big puzzle but we don't know what the picture looks like. All the subcommittees are a piece, the field trips are a piece; "We have the pieces, but they aren't being put together," said Payne. Payne is to remain neutral through the process.
Kofford said Val will take the ideas and carry them forward.
Marc Stilson, water rights, said it might work if all the entities contributed to the funding. He said maybe the RC&D council could handle the business aspect of the contract and all entities could contribute through them.
Sherrel Ward, council member said he thinks we need someone to go over everything, because we seem to be at a stalemate. "We need someone to put it all together." Ward said maybe the council could advertise what they are attempting to do and any group willing could make a contribution.
Webster said reports need to be made to the lands council regarding Payne's activities. Webster said he thinks all the people on the lands council need to attend the field trips. Webster said he has major concerns on what he perceives as negotiations with SUWA. Webster pointed out there are other land users besides SUWA. The grazers, ATV community, motorcycles, horses, oil and gas and mining, all need to be brought into the loop and included in the field trips.
Wilson said Mark H. Williams has been the representative for the OHV community and if others want to join in they are welcome to attend any of the field trips.
Gary Petty, council member, made a motion for the lands council to support the county commission in the hiring of Val to gather information.
Kofford said he introduced the idea of hiring Payne where there could be open discussion, if the lands council is uneasy or if the county is moving too fast, then the council can decide against the contract. "It's an open forum and we want to keep it open. It doesn't mean we're getting in bed with SUWA.
Bloxham said Payne is being put in a difficult position, but a unique position to facilitate the land use process along. Val knows the laws and won't leave anyone out of the process.
Kofford said, "Val is going to try to work to a point of bringing all sides to the table to arrive at a conclusion, to arrive at a lands bill." Before a bill will be picked up and sponsored by the Utah delegation then all the arguments must be settled and a clear idea of what needs to be in the bill will have to be established. "You said you wanted to pursue this, (land use bill) and this is just a step," said Kofford. He believes the lands council has done their best to bring all aspects of the bill out to the public and believes it will get tougher from here on in.
Payne said between now and the next council meeting he will prepare a presentation.
Christiansen said the council is working on an Emery County land use bill. She believes she wasn't elected to the lands council to represent SUWA, but to represent Emery County. Her position is an Emery County lands bill needs to represent Emery County.
Kofford pointed out in working on the contract for Payne they are working towards Val working on his own, not for the county and not for SUWA; but as independent contractor.
Payne explained a little of what he believes his role will be. He didn't like the word mediator or facilitator because in the end mediators and facilitators don't really care of the outcome and it isn't even important that the parties like each other. Payne said his role will be a conciliator. The definition of a conciliator is to overcome distrust or hostility, to placate, to win over, to make compatible or to reconcile. Payne said he will try to get away from fears and animosity.
Webster said he would be more comfortable if Emery County would put in the full amount to hire Val. "In dealing with public perception we would be better off," said Webster.
The council voted on whether or not to support the county in hiring Val. There were three negative votes and three positive votes. Since there was a tie the council chairman, Wilson voted to break the tie and he voted yes.

Exeter Chiefs were rarely in trouble on Saturday as they brushed aside Newcastle Falcons 16-3 for another Premiership win.
Exeter Chiefs were rarely in trouble on Saturday as they brushed aside Newcastle Falcons 16-3 for another Premiership win.
Three Gareth Steenson penalties to Phil Godman's one gave Exeter a 9-3 advantage at the break, and with Newcastle struggling to score tries it proved to be enough.
The Falcons failed to add to Godman's three-pointer after the interval and Haydn Thomas' touchdown ten minutes into the second period was the only points of the half.
Despite an excellent start to the season, Exeter went into the game in sixth position having lost their previous two Premiership matches. But against a team which has only won three league encounters this campaign, the hosts were expected to overcome the threat of the Falcons.
Rob Baxter's men started off brightly and Steenson kicked them into a 3-0 lead after 11 minutes. The fly-half then added his second from the tee before Newcastle began to build an attack of their own and press the Chiefs' line.
However, the home side resisted the pressure and were soon awarded another kickable penalty, which their stand-off duly converted.
Dean Richards' team eventually got the reward for their battling qualities with the last kick of the half when Godman reduced the arrears via a three-pointer.
Both teams struggled to find their fluency at the start of the second period before Exeter finally managed to put a couple of phases together which led to Thomas crossing the whitewash. It was the worst possible outcome for the Falcons with the wind in their favour after the break.
In fact, having been forced to keep the ball in hand due to the conditions, the West Country outfit were far more threatening in the second half. Although the Chiefs failed to add to their score in the remaining half-hour, they emerged with a comfortable win.

By Hayden Sowers Special to the NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – The impact of a bowl game this season is not lost on the Ole Miss players.
"When you make it to a bowl game you can still work out and you can still practice. You're not off and sitting around a lot," junior cornerback Charles Sawyer said after Thursday's light, hour-long practice. "This bowl is really benefiting us and the fact that it is a later bowl really benefits us."
Ole Miss meets Pittsburgh in the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham on Jan. 5. Thursday's workout was the last for the Rebels until next week.
Senior running back Randal Mackey took a different approach when he was asked about the benefits of a bowl game for him. "I've been here for three years and this is my first one to go to. I'm real excited about all the gifts and stuff that comes with it like that."
the next step
After the bowl game Mackey, who arrived at Ole Miss as a quarterback, hopes to get a shot in the NFL.
"If not, I'm just going to keep working harder and harder until I make it there. I'm not stopping right now." Mackey said. "I'll play whatever position they tell me to play. I'm comfortable at both receiver and running back, but I've mainly just been working hard to try to make it to the NFL."
Sawyer, a junior, still has a year left, but Rebels coach Hugh Freeze said Sawyer plans to file his paperwork with the NFL draft advisory committee.
"It's just to see where I am," Sawyer said. "I talked to coach Freeze before I did it and with next year being my last year I just wanted to see where I would land if I went this year. It mainly will just help me see what I need to work on as I prepare for the draft after next season," Sawyer said.
Freeze said junior running back Jeff Scott plans to go through the same process as Sawyer.

I had spent hundreds of dollars (maybe thousand) on organic baby food puree (plum organics and ella's kitchen) for my little grandson. I ordered 10pouches of this after I read the reviews and spent SGD29.80. However when I opened, I was absolutely disappointed that it looked TOTALLY of apple puree, rather than a mix of both apple and strawberry. It tasted sour and bitter and has NO taste of strawberry at all. I do not know what is the percentage of strawberry. OR is there any at all? If I had wanted apple puree, I can easily make it myself! I WOULD NOT have spent this amount of money!!! Will NOT buy again!
Easy for on the go

The NY Times initiated a pay wall earlier this week. The timing is fortuitous as they have been taken again by an April Fool's prank. You may recall how New York personal-injury lawyer and blogger Eric Turkewitz began last year's prank with his April 1st post where he claimed he'd been appointed official White House law blogger. He and a cohort of bloggers and tweeters posted corroborating responses and updates throughout the day. Eventually the Times picked up the story.
Get more details of this year's prank here.

Count me in, glad to be in, find me under the same name, I own over 231 games on steam alone, bound to find something play, yes Brink is one of them.
I joined the site for the Demo of Warhammer 40k because I have about 50 miniatures in a Space Marine unit and about 35 ships from the Gothic fleet. Joined them and they sent me to Steam for download. Had to join Steam so I registered but when I tried the login it failed. Tried to contact Steam support but I had to make a seperate register to get into support. Did that (3rd registration of different sites) and finally got sent the email return link in my email. Did that, started login but it failed again. Clicked link on failure notice and it sent me to a page that said my account was already in use by another computer.
Hacker city!!! They (whoever it is) have all my Steam account data (including my url I suppose) and thank god I sent no credit card info. Went back to my comp and deleted Steam immediately. I see that others have gotten thru ok and I wish you guys the best but no way can I dare try Steam again. What galls me is they got my account on their computer even before I got in. Good luck folks from an avid Warhammer 40k/Gothic player - sorry I miss out.
