- About the brand
Surgi-Wax Brazilian Microwave Wax - 3 Pack is a special formula designed specifically for hair removal from the bikini area. Surgi-Wax Brazilian removes hair from the root, leaving your skin free of re-growth for weeks! This special formulation is designed to remove coarse and stubborn hair from the most sensitive and delicate areas. All you need is a microwave. Simply heat wax to a creamy consistency and apply to skin. Within seconds the wax will become pliable. Then pull off to remove hair. Everything you need is in this one kit for fast, effective hair removal. No muslin strips required!
What is Brazilian waxing?
Going Brazilian means going completely bare - as bare as the day you were born. Some choose to leave a small strip or shape in front, but many choose to go completely bare.
Can I really do this myself at home?
This special type of hard wax was developed specifically for Brazilian. Waxing. The pre-epilating oil ensures that the wax adheres to the hair and not to skin - so no need to worry about muslin strips, it is just as easy as regular bikini waxing. The illustrated waxing guide that comes with your waxing kit gives detailed step-by-step directions, making the process very easy.
How long will my results last?
Each person is different. For some it will be a few weeks before hair begins to reappear, for others it may be a few months. In most cases, hair growth is minimal during the first three weeks and noticeably increases later on. The new hair is generally finer and with continued use, some hair will stop growing altogether. Since heat stimulates hair growth, in the summer hair grows a bit quicker. With regular waxing, hair re-growth will be slower, more sparse, and finer.
The Surgi-Care hair removal collection includes microwavable waxes, wax strips, bleaches and depilatory creams for flawlessly smooth skin.
The Best Wax Ever!I have been a do it yourself waxer for 13 years and this is the best and least painful wax I have ever used. Sure it's messy, waxing IS a messy thing, particularly when it starts to cool and get stringy and gloppy, but you could alleviate that by microwave another 30 seconds and stirring thoroughly. I have NEVER waxed quicker or more painlessly and I LOVE not having to use muslin strips. You won't be sorry. Using the oil on your skin is a key ingredient, don't miss that step! Love love love this stuff!Sep 14, 2013Kate / Pa

Used For At Least 10 YearsThis is the best wax for a Brazilian wax. The reason I only give it a four star is because you can't exactly follow the directions, which is why I believe it gets bad reviews sometimes. You must put it on in the opposite direction of hair growth and pull in off in the direction of hair growth. Any microwaveable wax will tell you to reverse that process. Not sure where the logic is in that. Why wouldn't you want to pull the hair out in the direction it grows? You avoid a lot of hair breakage that way and it is less painful. The biggest key to a less painful wax is this: DO NOT LEAVE ON MORE THAN 60 SECONDS, PERIOD!!. I start rolling the edge up at about 50-55 seconds and get it off before that minute. If not, it is too hard. It has to be flexible enough to "roll" off. Also, you only want to put whatever you can get on the little applicator at a time. Don't try to put some and then put some more to save time. Now you've got wax in different stages of drying, not matter how fast you think you are getting the second part on. I've been waxing for maybe 20 years now and really had issues trying to follow the manufacturer's directions about application and trying to ignore their instructions about timing. The wax I used to use, which was very similar to this one, went out of business many years ago. It took me a bit to find this one but I've not looked around since.Aug 9, 2013Tamara

Great! All It Takes Is A Little Patience.I thought this was going to be much more difficult than it was. Took about an hour the first time, despite my hair being thin from getting waxed professionally every 4-5 weeks.
All it takes is a little patience. And considering the three pack of wax (which will probably be enough for about six uses) costs 1/4 what one professional wax does, this is a great money saver!
From the other reviews, I realized a coffee cup warmer and mirror would be essential. Don't try to wax yourself without these items!Feb 26, 2013Jess

Love This!Best wax I have ever used. I started the search for hair removals over 15 years ago and have tried a variety of products and methods. Once I found this, I bought the three pack, took me about 6-8 months to get through, and before I ran out I bought another set of three. It's easy to use and it works very effectively on hair down there, but also for arm hair, nostril hair, my very unwanted mustache and forehead hair. The little bottle of oil that comes with it is important; a little goes a long way, but it will protect your skin from being pulled.Feb 6, 2013June / United StatesHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

First Time Self-waxingI had gone to have a brazillain wax and i loved it but it was a bit pricey.. so i started looking... i looked at so many products but most include the musil strips and i knew those were not good for ur sensitive areas.. i found this product and read every review until i decided to try it. it was very decently priced (this is sold at Sallys but it is double the price) and i got a discount! i finally got it and i was so thrilled! it worked as well as when i paid SIX times the price to have it done! it was harder b/c i had to wax myself but the result was the same! i would reccomend doing it quickly or finding a way to keep the wax warmed, maybe keeping it in a crockpot of water or something b/c reheating works a time or two but after that u r out of luck. all in all i would say that this is a great product and that i recoomend it to any one who has the desire to have their body waxed but cant afford the 'salon' prices. Good luck! its going to look awesome!Jun 4, 2012Brittaine / TexasHAIR TYPELight Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

Not Sure Yet???I didn't have much luck on my first pass. There is much hair left and I didn't have the nerve to continue. Not too painful, just that the wax left too much hair. There was a fair amount of breakage. I did not end up with the smooth finished that I had hoped for. I tried different techniques that I had read in other reviews. One seems to work as well as the other. I intend to try again. We'll see.Jun 3, 2012Lisa / CAHAIR TYPEThick or Coarse Hair

Had so much Potential
"I really love these boots. They replaced a shorter, cheaper pair I had that lasted a year and a half. They're super cute, not ridiculously uncomfortable, not too hot, really versatile, and, most importantly, the only boots I've been able to find that fit my 13" calves without a huge space (or any space when you tighten the laces).*But* these boots are pretty straight from calf to ankle and I have small ankles, so there's a lot of slack in that area even though they hold themselves up just fine. I've only worn them for about two months and one of the zippers is already coming apart at the top part of the ankle. It's unstitched from the material for about half an inch, but the fray is enough that it gets stuck every time I try to unzip them, no matter how straight I try to get them. Yesterday when the zipper got stuck, I had to slide my foot out and then struggle with it to get it unzipped all the way. I've always been careful zipping and unzipping them because of the slack, so I don't see any reason why these boots should already be nearly unwearable after only 2 months, especially when they were kind of expensive. And if they were really cheap, I don't think I would have bought them if I knew they would only last 2 months."

Skinny calves, this is for you!
"I have a size 8.5 feet, and a 12.5 in calf, therefore have an awful time finding affordable boots that won't exaggerate my lack of curves and skinniness. I took a chance and ordered this boot, hoping I could adjust the laces. Although the laces don't do much, these boots don't seem obviously baggy on my 12.5 in calves even with just tights on! Of course it's not a perfect skin tight fit I dreamed of, there's still a gap that could easily fit my hand at the shaft, but if it's not that obvious, who cares? The fit is more relaxed around the ankle, so it might not work for somebody with very defined slim ankles...my ankles aren't very defined so they were fine for me. They really go with everything!"

Punk Chic
"Distressed look is scary in the box but adorable on the feet! These are so comfortable and exactly what I wanted to rock with some tights and a skirt. The only surprise was that the metal details on the buckles etc. look silver in the photo, but they're actually a bronzy gold. This actually worked better for me, but don't get them if you want silver!"

Pay Per Post pawn's party-crash ploy played out
After the line to get into PureVolume Ranch hit capacity around 2 a.m., the RVIP Lounge played host to a raucously geeky afterparty. As we idled outside the Hilton, this fellow from Pay Per Post, a company even Arrington thinks is evil, tried — and failed — to board. Party maestro Jonathan Grubb denied him. The grounds? Part of the fun of owning an RV is that you can decide who not to share it with. The dude's response, after pouting that he "wasn't interested in [Grubb's] RV anyway"? Slinking out of his Pay Per Post t-shirt and attempt to sneak in later. I snapped this photo of him hovering in the doorway, mid-fail, for your pleasure.

DOWLING, Julie
I painted Walyer gesturing towards a group of colonial houses in the distant right. The moon shows light from behind the clouds, outlining her cloaked body as she holds two guns. She is gesturing to the viewer as if they were one of the fighters she has assembled to battle the colonial encroachments upon their land and hers.
There is a road carved into the trees under the distant mountains leading to the houses, which have smoke coming out of their chimneys, signifying their occupancy. Walyer stands in action, holding a fowler's rifle with a small flintlock pistol held in the belt around her skirt. She wears a bookah (kangaroo cloak), a shell necklace and clay ornamentation covers her hair.

Springbok flank Francois Louw returns to the Bath team for Saturday's Premiership clash with London Irish at the Madejski Stadium.
Springbok flank Francois Louw returns to the Bath starting line-up for Saturday's Premiership clash with London Irish at the Madejski Stadium.
Louw, who has been on international duty with South Africa in the Rugby Championship, comes into the back row, with Carl Fearns shifting to the blindside and Simon Taylor to number eight. Ben Skirving is named on the bench.
There are also changes in the front row. Nathan Catt starts at loosehead and Anthony Perenise comes in on the other side of the scrum for David Wilson who picked up a knock in training. Lee Mears at hooker and Stuart Hooper and Dominic Day in the engine room complete the pack.
The backs are unchanged from last week.
There is also a notable return to the bench for Stephen Donald, who will make his first appearance of the season if called upon.
Whilst London Irish have yet to win this season, Head Coach Gary Gold is under no misconceptions of the threat they pose for Bath.
"We know that Irish are a very good side, who will obviously be looking to get off the mark, which actually makes them more of a potent threat for us, " said gold.
"They have an unpredictability we will have to react to, and it will require us to be on top of our game in all areas to do that."
Meanwhile, former Ulster pivot Ian Humphreys will play his first match for London Irish.
Humphreys, who will form a half back combination with Tomás O'Leary, is one of four changes made by Brian Smith.
Halani Aulika will start his first match for the Exiles, lining up alongside Scott Lawson and Max Lahiff in the front row.
Matt Garvey joins Bryn Evans in the second row and Jamie Gibson has recovered from injury to be named in the back row. Steven Shingler moves from fly half to inside centre.
"Bath have made a good start to the season and have an excellent coaching and playing staff," said London irish boss Brian Smith.
"Things are not currently where we want them to be but the season is a marathon so we have time to make up the lost ground. We've done some very good things over the past few weeks and we need to build on these positives."
Form: London Irish have suffered three successive defeats and conceded 40 points or more on each occasion. No team in Premiership history has ever conceded 40 in four successive matches. The Exiles only win in their last five games at Madejski Stadium came against Gloucester in May. Bath's perfect 100 percent winning start to the season was spoiled at home to Northampton on Friday. Madejski Stadium was one of just three away grounds at which Bath were successful in Aviva Premiership Rugby last season. London Irish have won just one of their last ten clashes with Bath: 16-0 at The Rec on 28 November 2009.
The teams:
London Irish: 15 Tom Homer, 14 Topsy Ojo 13 Jonathan Joseph , 12 Steven Shingler, 11 Marland Yarde 10 Ian Humphreys, 9 Tomás O'Leary, 8 Ofisa Treviranus 7 Jamie Gibson, 6 Declan Danaher (c), 5 Matt Garvey, 4 Bryn Evans , 3 Halani Aulika , 2 Scott Lawson , 1 Max Lahiff.
Replacements:16 David Paice , 17 Jerry Yanuyanutawa , 18 Alan Cotter, 19 George Skivington, 20 Jon Fisher, 21 Anthony Watson, 22 Shane Geraghty , 23 Jack Moates
Bath: 15 Nick Abendanon, 14 Kyle Eastmond, 13 Dan Hipkiss, 12 Ben Williams, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Olly Barkley, 9 Michael Claassens, 8 Simon Taylor, 7 Francois Louw, 6 Carl Fearns, 5 Dominic Day, 4 Stuart Hooper (c), 3 Anthony Perenise, 2 Lee Mears, 1 Nathan Catt.
Replacements: 16 Ross Batty, 17 Paul James, 18 Kane Palma-Newport, 19 Dave Attwood, 20 Ben Skirving, 21 Mark McMillan, 22 Stephen Donald, 23 Jack Cuthbert.

Just prior to his appearance at the Emery County Fair, Congressman Jim Matheson held a round table discussion with the elected officials of Emery County. He met with the commissioners and the mayors to gather input on how each entity is doing and inquire if there is anything he can do to help.
Following his discussion with the officials, the doors were opened to the Emery County Economic Development Council. The ECEDC consists of business people and concerned residents who try to promote economic growth in Emery County.
Rep. Matheson received comments from a resident about the new training facility that just opened in Carbon County.
"What we need is sustained funding from Washington to insure this facility will remain open for a long time. We owe it to our youth to do something about training them for the future," said this resident.
"I couldn't agree more. We must have trained people to compete in this world. Teaching is a lifetime thing. I'll be happy to help you look for any opportunity to get funding, whether it be grants or anything else. I'm here to help you get what you want," said Rep Matheson.
"This energy thing is, I feel, going to last a while. We need a trained workforce. I'll be on the lookout for anything that will help you here in Emery County. The training center in Price is a great idea. Anytime there is $75 a barrel oil, the opportunities are out there and you need to seek out those opportunities," Rep. Matheson continued.
Another resident thanked Rep. Matheson for his help with the training center. He then stated that his company had been trying to open a coal mine since 1998. Rep. Matheson explained that this process should not take so long. "Get me the history and we can review it and ask for a congressional inquiry to find the bog down. There is no reason the process should take so long," said Rep Matheson.
A Green River resident informed Rep. Matheson that Green River is pursuing the idea of putting in a power plant. "How can you help us with that?" asked the resident.
"As you know, when I was in the private sector, that is what I did, power plant planning. As far as helping Green River pursue this idea, I can help with anything in planning stages. As far as getting through the red tape, there is not a lot I can do to help. The permitting process can be lengthy, as you know, and there is not a lot of help through that process. Although, at the moment there are some efforts to streamline that process. Power use and demand is only going to go up. I think it is wise for Green River to look into this idea."
A Ferron resident stated, "Hundreds of billions of dollars are going into foreign aid each year. It seems easier for other countries to get money than rural municipalities. We would like to see a better way for rural areas to get some funding help."
"You are raising a very relevant issue. In many departments of government there are many opportunities for grants to help rural areas. I understand exactly what you mean and I know it is frustrating to many," said Rep. Matheson.
A member of the economic development council stated, "One frustration is the matching funds requirement to many of the grants available. Rural areas cannot come up with the matching funds."
"Matching funds grants force the most important projects to the top of the list. But you're right," said Rep. Matheson. The Ferron resident stated that in his opinion foreign aid grants should have the same requirements.
The next topic raised to Rep. Matheson was the number of beetle killed spruce trees in the forests. "We would appreciate any help you could give us in the process of removing dead trees. If we should have a fire we would lose our watersheds. The environmentalists stall or stop the process at every step, interfering with the responsible management of the forest," said an Emery County official.
"I understand your frustration. I voted for the healthy forest initiative. It was supposed to help, but nothing has changed. Congress should do its job now and hold those agencies accountable. I also supported the emergency management act that was to move the healthy forest initiative along," said Rep. Matheson.
SR-10 and 6 were the next topic. "Is there anything you can do to help us alleviate the problem of traffic and coal trucks on SR-10 and SR-6?" asked a resident.
"I would be happy to help, but my track record with the Utah Legislature is not good. But your issue is valid and I will help any way I can.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud informed Rep. Matheson that Emery County, along with other rural counties, is in need of a voice with the Utah State Legislature to keep the royalty monies in the counties.
"This is a very important rural Utah issue. The monies that are available from royalties is to deal with the impact the energy boom has on small counties. That money needs to stay in those counties," stated Rep. Matheson.
The reluctance of the railroads to extend service to rural areas was the next topic of discussion. "This is not just a Utah issue, although I am aware of its impact on the rural areas of Utah. Agriculture and other industries are also being held captive by the four railroads that operate in the U.S. Rail business is booming because it is still the most efficient way to transport goods. All of their attention is going to the high demand areas in the East and this hurts small areas. The service transportation board needs to look into this problem. As a matter of fact, a meeting is being held in Wyoming today and this may open eyes and start the process to get more rail service to smaller areas," Rep. Matheson said.
Another resident informed Rep. Matheson of his feeling about the need for a healthy workforce. "We need health insurance for workers. We need ala carte insurance programs that families can utilize. Many homes have both parents working and the insurance provided by each employer may overlap, but what the family really needs is another kind of insurance, such as dental or vision care," noted the resident.
A local businessman told Rep. Matheson, "Telecommunications are the key to a solid infrastructure. The local telecommunications company is in a battle now where some are trying to rewrite key issues that will hurt them very badly. They need help on a federal level."
A final comment was made by a local mining official. "We need your help concerning the changes that are being suggested concerning the two entry mining system." Rep. Matheson informed the official that a letter has been sent to Secretaries Leavitt and Chow informing them of the harm these new changes would make in Utah. He has requested Utah people to be on the committee for the discussions concerning the two entry system.
"These changes would be more specific to Utah than to anywhere else in the country, and the track record of Utah mines is great. It will hurt Utah mines if these changes are instituted. " Rep. Matheson stated.
As a finale to the meeting, Rep. Matheson said about Ferron's salinity program. "These projects are very important for several counties in Utah, Emery being one of them. This is a win/win program. Success stories such as Ferron's are great advocates for the continuation of projects like these."
Roger Barton was then introduced and he said that a documentary has been made about the Ferron salinity project and will be distributed nationwide informing others how to form a partnership like the one Ferron Canal Company had with farmers and business. The name of the video is "The Ferron Project: More Than Sprinklers."
Rep. Matheson then visited the Emery County Fair where he helped serve lamb at the lamb fry and also enjoyed dinner at the fair.

Tomorrow (June 21, Saturday) is the 32nd Coney Island Mermaid Parade. The Mermaid Parade, a moderately venerable tradition dating back to 1983, describes itself as "the largest art parade in the nation", and celebrates the old time beachfront, boardwalk, carnival sideshow culture of the neighborhood.
This will be my fourth consecutive Mermaid Parade, but I grew up being taken often to Coney Island in the summer by my grandparents, who lived nearby, off the Avenue U subway stop, to visit the beach, Astroland Park, and the New York Aquarium. Coney Island was probably nearing the nadir of popularity then. Homeless men squatted under the boardwalk, lighting fires to keep warm that would often get out of control and burn large out sections of the boardwalk above. I vividly remember gaping, charred holes marked off with yellow warning tape. Adults warned not to wander unsupervised far past the boardwalk into the surrounding non-amusement park neighborhood, which was considered particularly dangerous.
Many of the once-proud amusement parks of Coney Island had already closed when I used to go as a kid, with Astroland then the main survivor. Even that eventually closed, in 2008, leaving the venerable Cyclone—the famous wooden roller coaster that opened in 1927—and the primary location of Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs among the last major traditional attractionsin the area. Of course, other than the beach itself. (For readers who expect everything posted on this blog to have a Japan connection, the July 4 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest is where Japan's greatest athlete first rose to fame.)
Throughout the Bloomberg administration (2002 - 2013) there were continual attempts to redevelop the area, usually as a massive unitary complex with a large indoor shopping mall feel that would have been utterly at odds with the history and style of the neighborhood, but which would have provided better facilities for the blandly tasteful year-round activities that clueless developers and mayoral officials thought were more in demand.
These potential deals all fell apart after the real estate bubble burst, paving the way for today's more natural revitalization, which has seen new amusement park rides for the first time in decades, including a new Luna Park, named after a long-defunct Coney Island amusement park and built on the former site of Astroland, and even a major new steel roller coaster, the Thunderbolt, itself named after a long-gone 1925-built wooden coaster, which opened only a week ago as of this post.
A big part of what kept Coney Island's local culture on life-support long enough to return is the non-profit organization Coney Island USA, based in the landmarked Childs Restaurant building, who run the Coney Island Museum, Sideshows by the Seashore, and the Shooting Gallery/Arts Annex. And, most relevant, they are the official organizers of the Mermaid Parade.
To get a nice summary of Coney Island history, check out this podcast (Part 1, Part 2) by The Bowery Boys, who do a New York City podcast I enjoy, or see the accompanying blog post with some cool old photos.
Naturally, I took a whole lot of photos all three times and even after winnying them down to good one still had a few dozen for each year, so I'm embedding a handful of photos in-line and then linking to the Flickr galleries.

Comfy Shoes
"I ordered the b.o.c. Peggy in the past and they were very comfortable but the bottom of the shoes cracked. I will see how this one holds up. Very comfortable from the minute you wear them. Ordered 1/2 size up since these all run a little short. Sole is also slippery - wish they had rubber treads instead."

Great Shoe
"I haven't worn a normal shoe in over 3 years. I am diabetic and have worn tennis shoes for the past 3 yrs. I bought these shoes thinking they were going to be like the rest, and I would have to return them. They are sooo comfortable. They are thick on the bottom which is just what I need and they fit snug, which is also what I need. My feet are a whole size different so I usually have to have tie or buckles. I wore them to work last night and I stand on my feet for 8 hrs and my feet didn't hurt or ache. I finally get to wear skirts again."

Comfy but.....
"This shoe is very comfortable but the quality is a bit off - obvious globs of glue that I had to remove, seams not quiet identical but since I had a $20 rewards certificate that I used, I'll keep them - if I had paid full price I might have returned them but again they are very comfortable!!!"

So anyone have some prediction of how the remaining Shichibukai are going down and who's gonna do it.
The current known members remaining are:
Dracule "Hawk Eye" Mihawk-Zoro is gonna take him down to achieve his dream
Donquixote Doflamingo
Bartholomew Kuma
Gecko Moria-From the looks of it It's gonna be Luffy again or maybe a Luffy and Oz Duo will take him down.
Also Blackbeard is aspiring to join.-I don't think Ace has taken him out yet, but I think he most likely will in the future either that or Luffy will be the one to.
I also kinda think Dragon is gonna take down one of the Shichibukai therefore showing his strength.
I also think Sanji deserves to take down one of the Shichibukai as he is one of the Straw hat's major fighting member. Based on absolutely no fact at all just a gut feeling I think it'll be Donquixote Doflamingo.

My primary role whilst I am volunteering at the Colobus Trust is to be the full-time carer to Betsy, the juvenile colobus monkey. I am sure many of you may of heard about Betsy's story, for those who haven't Betsy is the first hand-reared Angolan black and white colobus monkey to survive past 53 days old. She is now 11 months old and is slowly being prepared for her release back into the wild. This process will take up to a year yet as this would be the age she would naturally leave her mother and will also be at less risk from injury or even infanticide from the dominant male.
As her carer I spend the majority of the day teaching Betsy to climb trees and encourage her to use the trees which the wild troop of Colobus would use, we refer to this as forest school. In addition to this she is also being encouraged to forage and feed in the trees in order to prepare for life in the wild.
To date Betsy is learning extremely fast, she is spending an increased amount of time foraging in the trees and eating a colobus approved diet! The mornings are usually spent climbing in her favourite trees and picking out tasty leaves and buds to feed on. The wild colobus would naturally spend the majority of the morning foraging and feeding intensively in the trees, and will begin to rest in order to digest their food during the hottest hours of the day. So it really is great to see that Betsy is following a similar routine to that of the wild troop, as she will feed and play in the trees up until around 11am. To indicate that she is getting sleepy Betsy will initiate play and then will enjoy being groomed before falling asleep for an hour or so. Her sleep requirement is usually dependent upon how active (physically and mentally) her morning was, and how much she ate.
Betsy generally wakes up just after midday. Once awake Betsy is rejuvenated and ready to explore and climb some more trees! Tree climbing will usually take place in the garden, as this is where the majority of Betsy's favourite trees are situated, but if Betsy is feeling extra energized and brave then we will venture into the nature trail. The nature trail is the Trust's private forested area, which is like a playground for Betsy with lots of interesting smells, sounds, wildlife and trees to climb! The Sykes monkeys are often located in the nature trail too, which seems to amuse Betsy as she likes to play chase with them through the trees and bushes. Where there is Sykes, there is usually colobus nearby too, so it is not unusual to spot one of the home troops resting in the nature trail as well. Because of these factors the nature trail is an ideal environment for Betsy to be in, as what she experiences when training in here will be beneficial towards her release with the wild troop in the future.

Emery County has the unique standing of being home to one of only four pairs of nesting bald eagles in the entire state! Two other nests occur along the Colorado River. The other nest is situated on the east shore of the Great Salt Lake.
Although Utah has been a winter destination of as many as 1,100 bald eagles, almost all birds migrate north in the spring. Those few bald eagles, choosing to nest in Utah, are quite rare.
Bald eagles typically raise a single chick each year. In some cases, two chicks fledge. On rare occasions, three chicks survive.
The Emery County pair of bald eagles built their nest in 1990. Since that time, the pair has successfully raised more than a dozen chicks.
Unfortunately, the nest blew down during a wind storm this past summer. The single nestling was killed.
Hoping to keep the nesting pair in the area, the DWR in partnership with UP&L decided to erect an artificial nest structure.
From past experience, biologists have learned to place sticks, twigs, bark and "greenery" on top of the nest structure�making the nest much more attractive to potential occupants.

In a vast, 65,000-square-foot warehouse in downtown L.A., 10 people are left stranded in a forbidding, post-apocalyptic new world. In their former lives they were doctors, mechanics, lawyers, engineers and short-order cooks, but now ─ in order to survive ─ they must apply their old skills and develop new ones so they can build a civilization in a devastated world. This is the setup behind "The Colony," a new reality show produced by Thom Beers Original Productions that will air on the Discovery Channel later this year.
The show is being lit and shot by DP Cameron Glendenning, part of the Emmy award-winning team that shot "Deadliest Catch," and whose credits include the trailblazing reality show "The Osbournes." "We're about halfway through the two-month, 24/7 shoot, which we do docu-style," Glendenning says. "We cover the cast in one form or another 24 hours a day, six days a week, so it's a huge, very intensive shoot, and lighting it is a major challenge." The DP and his team are using the new Sony HD-XD 700 cameras rented from Wexler Video. "[The cameras] are incredibly light-sensitive," he reports. "It's by far the fastest camera I've ever used. And when I began doing lighting tests on the set, I ended up rating them at 2000 ASA, which blew me away.
"[Based on the show's concept] there is no motivation for any light at night in this huge warehouse beyond the moon," Glendenning notes. "So our goal was to recreate moonlight, and all our fixtures are outside the building." The DP is using 280 1K Par Cans rigged with Par Bars on the roof, with brushed-silk diffusion and full ctb at the lamps and 1,000 yards of one-fourth China silk on the building's south-side windows, as well as two Maxi Brutes on a 60-foot Condor to simulate moonlight. "The reason I'm lighting this way is because this warehouse is such a vast, beautiful space, and I wanted to keep the big, wide shots intact. So I did everything I could to keep all the fixtures outside. I only have two fixtures inside the main space, basically for emergency daylight fill. The main one is an old Paramount Studios 4K HMI we call 'the chicken coop,' which gives me a big, beautiful soft light. We're also using four Mini Brutes with 250 [kW] and full ctb, four Babys hung here and there, where we just couldn't get windows to shoot through, four [Mole-Richardson] Tweenies, two Kino Flo Divas, a Redhead with Chimera, two 6K flicker boxes, a 2400-amp generator and six 4x4 mirror boards."
During the show, the cast will generate their own electricity, and as the series evolves they'll develop their own lighting. "Our moonlight isn't really enough for their living environment," Glendenning explains. "So I supplement their light with the Flicker Boxes for firelight, and add some stuff as needed. That's an ongoing process throughout the shoot. And we also have an HMI package with a couple of 4Ks and a couple of 1200s that we're running for daylight interviews and things like that."
All of the show's lights are rented from Cinelease. "[The show is] incredibly challenging to light, especially simulating natural moonlight over 50 shooting days," Glendenning concludes.

Man accused of sex crimes in 50-year span faces more charges
WASHINGTON - A Beaufort County man, accused of committing sex crimes against several juveniles in a 50-year span, is facing more charges.
On Jan. 31, Merrill Wilson Wallace, 73, of Cedar Lane in Washington, was charged with 11 additional counts of indecent liberties with a minor. He turned himself in at the magistrate's office.
Wallace was previously arrested on Jan. 11, and was charged with two counts of first degree sexual offense and eight counts of indecent liberties with a minor.
According to deputies, they received a report of sex crimes happening at a home on Cedar Lane in August, 2012. Investigators said Wallace was behind that incident, as well as sex crimes against several other victims. The oldest case happened about 50 years ago, deputies said.
All the victims were juveniles when the crimes occurred, deputies said. So far, six victims have been identified.
Wallace was released from jail on an unsecured bond and was ordered to be under electronic house arrest.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: Dad Snags Home Run Ball with Baby In Hand [Video]
Dads can pretty much do it all.
From a young age, we learn to look up to our dad as a model of who we want to become. For girls, your father is the measuring stick for every other guy in your life. Dads teach us. Dads show us the way. And when it comes down to it, dads can be pretty damn awesome when they want to be.
Take for instance this dad, who was at the Colorado Rockies-San Francisco Giants Major League Baseball game in San Francisco with his young child on Father's Day on Sunday.

"There is not going to be a 'next' Serena or Venus. Champions are unique in their own way," adds Fernandez. "[Each of these women] are working so hard on and off the court and becoming more professional all-around, but not everyone develops at the same time. Jamie is 23 and it is all starting to come together for her now; Sloane was ready earlier. You have to be patient. You have to put in the work and get the most of what you have, whether that is top 10, top 50. But one thing is for sure—you have to put in all you have to be the best you can be."

Finding Milan, Part II
Cam Charron
October 17 2012 11:05AM
Last week I took a look at what Milan Lucic was. If teams are trying so hard to re-create him, I think we need to learn exactly what Lucic is. I concluded the hulking former Vancouver Giant was a fundamentally-flawed hockey player, and the perception of his talent varies year-to-year which, creates a crisis of expectation. You just don't know what you'll get each year out of Lucic scoring-wise, but he's a tremendously-effective forward.
His beat-em down game, while ugly to watch, works. He's a plus possession player who helps his team generate shots and chances. It's the conversion ratio that's a little off. His PDO, which has ranged from 977 to 1045 throughout his career, is volatile and unpredictable. Is that what we can expect out of the great power forwards?
Reasonably, I think that Lucic plays the type of game that can only be appreciated with statistics. Otherwise, why did traditional scouts mis-read him every day of his life until the day he lifted the Cup over his head for what he brings to an organization? He's almost the perfect Moneyball player:
"He can't skate! He can't shoot!" "But what can he do?" "He takes shots on goal."
There's also something to be said about his Scheuermann's disease, causing Lucic's hunched-over posture:
"We're not selling t-shirts here, people."
I wouldn't press that point too much. One-time prospect that everybody wanted to draft, Kyle Beach, still has impressions from Lucic's knuckles when he brought the issue up—probably very respectfully, I might add—in a WHL game. But the Canucks drafted a different player, and traded him this spring for another guy. That second guy is a player that Mike Gillis although not directly expressing but rather implied, wants to be Vancouver's "Milan Lucic".
Can he be someone else? Why is Lucic the standard? Power forwards, if you look at it from a definition of "goals" and "penalty minutes" aren't necessarily a key component of a Stanley Cup squad. Here are the players with 25 goals and 110 penalty minutes since 2008. You'll notice Lucic is the only one who played for a Cup winner in the last five years:

I think there's something to be said for a physically-commanding forward who holds the puck in the offensive zone and is prone to shooting variations. The closer a player gets to the net, the fewer shots he can record, and the more vulnerable the player is to a cold snap that affects his numbers. It's not like he's a high-volume shooter who can wire lasers from just outside the scoring area repeatedly, and hope Nikolai Khabibulin is in net.
I went to Behind the Net and looked at what it was Lucic did particularly different from his teammates during the Stanley Cup season. Basically, he took a lot of penalties, but played more minutes than Gregory Campbell or Shawn Thornton, who also took penalties. I decided to make "power forward" a mix of "penalty-taking forward" and "plays effective forward minutes". The idea was that players who had hit 0.9 penalties drawn per game, at least a 1.0 Relative Corsi and at least 13:30 of even strength ice time per game (with 60 games) qualified. I narrowed the search and looked for duplicates. Full list here.
Only one player matched the description for all five years of behind the net. That would be Corey Perry, who I've been convinced for quite some time is the best all-around winger in hockey. Three Canucks made the list: Ryan Kesler, Alex Burrows, and Henrik Sedin, the latter of which I'd say fits the "power forward" mould the best on the team, and I've been saying that for quite some time.
But the rest? More importantly, our list of Stanley Cup winners quadrupled with our expanded definition to include Patrick Kane, Evgeni Malkin, and Dustin Brown.
What can Brown do for you?
McKeen's in its description of Brown, also alludes to similar faults in Browns's skating, as well as volatility: "missing elite explosiveness .. can dominate when his passion meter peaks - feeding a tendency to score in bunches .. trade rumours circulated during an 11-game goal funk in February".
Dean Lombardi did not trade Dustin Brown, his captain, right before the trade deadline despite the rumours. How was he going to make space for all these highly-paid players, and how was the old core supposed to fit the new core of the team built around Jeff Carter and Mike Richards?
Brown found a spot, creating space for Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams, one of the more well-built lines in the NHL. LA's top line combines an elite two-way centreman with a shot-creator and an elite power forward. It's the stuff of genius that EA has been trying to sell as part of its NHL franchise in line chemistry, but it never gets the player roles right on the nose.
Here are Brown's percentages, coupled with his Corsi Rel:
|Shot %
|Corsi Rel
It's worth noting that Brown is not as good of a shooter as Lucic is, but the Kings have had him playing against tougher competition throughout his career. Rather, they've built to lean upon him not just for dominating offensive zone play, but they'll gladly exchange the equivalent of 11 goals through the year for a player who they can better trust in the neutral and defensive zones.
I think building a team in the Los Angeles Kings' mould is a better idea than building one in the Boston Bruins': the Kings are more sustainable. They were a dominant puck-possession franchise after picking up Jeff Carter. They only looked for players who could move the puck. They used their minor league system to bring in replacement players, giving them piles of money to spend on the top two lines. They never gave up on Dustin Brown or Dustin Penner despite long scoring slumps, and both players were terrific in the playoffs.
What does this mean for, say, Zack Kassian going forward? At 21, Brown was playing 14 minutes a night, and in his 22-year old season he cracked the top six, hitting 18:43 and never dipping below 19:15 since then. Kassian is at 11:18 after his 21-year old season, so the first thing I'll look at is whether the Canucks increase his role.
A lot of what Brown does isn't visible on the scoresheet since he doesn't rely on percentages as much as Lucic. Judging Kassian by goals and assists, if the Canucks really want to make him a power forward, isn't the way to go. Look at his defensive and neutral zone play and whether he breaks up rushes with hits. Those are the plays that can contribute to Corsi points and a positive goal differential even if they don't necessarily appear on a standard box score.
(Stats taken from Behind the Net and Hockey Reference)
Is there going to be Part III? I don't see any conclusions being drawn in this article. Did you find Milan? Is he Zack Kassian, or Cory Perry, or Dustin Brown?
Will Kassian become as good as Brown if he plays the same amount of ice time at the same age? Seriously, what are you saying in this article?
Just curious: are you avoiding Derek Zona's definition of a power forward (.3 goals/game, 1.5 hits/game) for a reason? Penalties taken doesn't intuitively seem to be a good proxy for "he breaks up rushes with hits".

Comments: Fantastic bait! I lost my favorite (sunfish) this morning- bass broke me off in a submerged tree. I put another one on (TN Shad) and caught a 6 lb'r on the first cast. Ghost Minnow, Sunfish and TN Shad seem to work the best. Just ordered 5 more.
From: Eric: Chattanooga, TN 7/20/15
Comments: This bait is awesome for so many reasons. You can wake it on the surface or crank it just below. I love fishing this bait over shallow grass beds. I like putting a feathered treble on the back to give it a little bit bigger profile in the water. This is one of those baits that if you need a bite it will get the job done.
From: Wade: CA 6/9/15
Comments: I use the 0 footer in HL Sunfish color. Fish absolutely LOVE this lure. You can always count on Jackall products to produce. This little bite sized "cherry bomb" is a bass magnet. The rattling sound in combination with the rolling side to side action is irresistible to fish. You can even swim it through light lily pad cover if you crank it down subsurface so it avoids the pads; although it occasionally got snagged on the stems you can easily pull it through. If you are skeptical watch a couple videos online of the action it produces and the fish it produces.
From: D: USA 4/25/14
Comments: One of the best shallow water cranks out there, has nice little hunting action.
From: Robert: Battle Creek ,MI
Comments: an absolute blast to fish! Fish really smash this thing when waked on top whether early or just close to shade banks.
From: Dean: Newalla, OK
Comments: As good as the Ima Roumba, but in a smaller package. It is a bass magnet. Extra wide wobble and prominent wake. Great build, hooks and finish. High recommened. Great for very shallow water or fishing over weed beds.
From: Rowland: Newport News, VA
Comments:This little Jackall Cherry Zero is the hottest lure in my box and there are some 200 crankbaits in there. 1foot 2feet 3feet or over weeds the bass just cream it. Careful the Pike also like them which why I am ordering more.
From:Bruce: Hubertus, WI

By RAINER HUCK, President, Utah Shared Access AllianceSalt Lake City
Heidi Macintosh of SUWA warns Utahns to prepare for "trench warfare" if they wish to maintain access to rural and backcountry roads. This unusually frank admission from an organization that in recent times has tried to stress its kinder and gentler side should be an eye opener for county and state officials who think accommodation and compromise is possible with these champions of the King's Forest.
Her statements in the Aug. 17 Tribune story describing the demise of litigation that sought to undermine RS-2477 travel rights leave no doubt that SUWA is bent on wiping out access to our public lands. Lavishly funded by liberal European interests, they will not rest until 10 million acres of our precious BLM land is shut off from the people of Utah.
I'm curious why so few seem to be alarmed by this threat? Are the stunning public lands that make our state special of such little value that no one cares to fight for them? One thing is certain; when they are forever lost, there will much wailing and gnashing of teeth---but of course then it will be too late.

March 13 News and Notes
Robert Cleave
March 13 2011 07:36PM
The round up comes to you this time around from Austin, with nothing but Shiner, brisket and hipsters as far as the eye can see. The first two are good for certain, and because I'm a very tolerant man, I'll should be able to manage being in the presence of a bunch of Lambert-esque types until next Saturday night with minimal fuss.
At any rate, in this week's review of matters near and far, the Flames hit a patch of turbulence, the Flyers' lead atop the East shrinks, and the concussion issue isn't just an undertone any more.
The club lost a difficult game to the Canucks last night, and it was yet another occasion where Calgary's special teams showed up as a poor second to those deployed by Vancouver. Through the first five games of the season series, the PP is 1-17 while giving up 7 PP goals in 20 chances. The Flames aren't completely uncompetitive at EV against the Canucks, but they certainly aren't better, and they'd have to be by a fair margin to overcome that sort of differential. Shooting 5% on the PP compared to Vancouver's 18% doesn't aid matters, but the differences in the two club at 5v4 go beyond the percentages.
Calgary has had the man advantage for about 32.5 minutes in 5 games, generating 20 shots in that time. That works out to a rate of 36.9/60, or about 5 shots/60 less than the full season numbers posted by the Oilers, who sport a league worst 41.7/60. The Flames have averaged 48.4/60 for the full season, so they fall off by about a quarter when they play the Dys. The Canucks are middle of the pack in terms of allowing shots 5v4 at 50.6, so it isn't like the Flames are facing some sort of PK juggernaut, either.
The numbers aren't much better looking when the Flames are down a man. Calgary has allowed Vancouver 39 shots in 35 minutes of PP time, or a rate of 66.7/60. That's about 20% higher than the Canucks' normal rate of 55.1/60, and the Flames normally allow 48.3 shots/60, which certainly might lead one to believe that there's a mix of personnel and tactical issues at work.
Calgary does look a step slow every time they end up chasing the Sedins around, which I suppose puts them in the company of virtually every other team in the NHL, but it's still a problem if these two face each other in the playoffs, and I suspect it's an insurmountable one.
The one other thing that struck me last night was that the Flames could use another decent forward and an actual NHL defender irrespective of the opposition, so one has to wonder why Jay Feaster even bothered with the two moves he made at the deadline. He wasted a 7th on Modin by the looks of it, and Brett Carson isn't going to play again absent injury, which means that the team's depth is not significantly better than it was before the end of February. As an aside, it isn't like they need the help, but the addition of Higgins might well aid the Canucks quite a bit. Useful guy, that one.
That lack of improvement in personnel has really sealed the team's fate for this year, because they needed those extra players to have any hope at all to win a series, at least to my eye. I try to be a realist in these matters, and I'm not going to shine things up here. Calgary's record against the West's potential playoff teams isn't very good at all. The club is 15-18-4 against every team from 11th place Minnesota up, with 8 of those 15 wins coming against Dallas and Nashville.
7-18-4 versus Vancouver, Detroit, San Jose, Chicago, Phoenix, L.A., Anaheim and Minnesota doesn't fill me with optimism, and the Flames aren't unlucky to have that sort of record against those clubs. Calgary has done a good job in killing off a lot of bottom feeders to get in position, but until I see them outplaying good teams more than once every few weeks, I'm not jumping on any bandwagon.
Are the Oilers still really on the recieving end of karmic payback for the good fortune they enjoyed in the '80s? Sam Gagner is the latest victim of the Curse of the North Saskatchewan, losing a battle with Ryan Jones' skate blade the other night while sitting on the bench. Samwise joins Penner, Hall and Hemsky on the list of Oiler scoring leaders that have been traded or hurt in the last two weeks, so if I were Jordan Eberle, I might think about asking out of the lineup until next fall.
The perp in the Gagner affair got a going over from the folks at Copper and Blue, with Jones' scoring chance numbers under the scope, and they aren't pretty for the pending UFA. 3 years at 2M a year sounds about right, Tambo ;-)
The West has a really compelling race for the last 4 or 5 playoff spots, with a bunch of decent teams scuffling about in the mix. The East, meanwhile is really down to a battle for 7th and 8th, with half a dozen teams left, including the Leafs, who dug themselves out just in time to knock off Buffalo last night.
It would be an unlikely occurence if Toronto made it in to the second season, particularly with a goal differential in the -20 to -30 range. The worst team by differential to get in since the lockout was Boston in 07/08 at -10, so unless the Leafs really go on a run, any playoff berth on their part will speak more to the poverty of the East's last 8 or 9 clubs than any excellence brewing at the ACC. Well, at least on-ice excellence, since their off-ice performance is hard to question.
Another team still alive is Atlanta, who came from way down to beat Philadelphia in OT last night. They aren't very good, either, and to be honest, the two best clubs in the race might be the Rangers and New Jersey. Jersey's continuing roll is something else, and as Matt Fenwick sort of pointed out, should remind people that percentages always bounce back to at least some degree.
Meanwhile, the rumblings about a Flyer collapse are beginning to grow, with Daniel Briere pointing the finger at complacency. The usual questions about their goaltending are still bubbling under the surface, but Bobrovsky and Boucher have been servicable, and the last few seasons should have shown that mere servicability in net is the requirement for a team to win a Cup. If Pronger is healthy, they're still a good team with a fine forward corps, so I wouldn't take too much pleasure in any current struggles.
Headshot, boom :
The league's main story over the last few days has been the newly inflamed debate over the way players treat each other on the ice. Max Pacioretty's Chara-assisted impact with the stanchion has been the talking point since Monday night, and the week since has had all sorts of back and forth on the issue, a couple of Montreal based companies rattling a sabre or two, and a slightly suspect rumour from Bob McCown regarding the future of Sidney Crosby tossed into the mix just for fun.
The GMs are meeting in Florida with all of this noise going on, and no matter what does or doesn't get done, I do hope that entire suite of bulding, equipment and behavioral issues gets examined. As prominent as the specific matter of headshots and brain injuries has become, there's a whole range of OSH issues that the league and players should be confronting. Darren Dreger noted a couple of weeks ago that Calgary's glass will be replaced this summer. I simply wonder why it took this long for the change to be made. Is it some sort of newly-solved mystery that seamless glass was a potential hazard due to the lack of give?
Helene Elliot's column that I linked above has a few folks talking the talk regarding rink safety, but it's clear that both the league and players have some catching up to do in terms of equipment as well. Better helmets and softer shoulder/elbow pads should be mandated.
This decades-long practice of letting players use whatever they want is just asinine for an industry that grosses in the range of 3 billion a year and given that the NHL uses its better players as the linchpin in the marketing strategy, you'd thnk that the league and PA might see a worthwhile benefit in keeping those men on the ice. There are always risks inherent in the game, but the stubborness both the PA and league have shown in mitigating those risks is out of step with what should be a shared interest in the good health of the employees.
The issue of player behavior is likely the one that will be hardest to change, since the competitive nature of the game always has the potential to push players beyond good sense. Still, the NFL has established a set of rules to limit contact to the head as much as possible. Is that game less violent? Are the players less driven? I doubt it, and the NFL game is about as entertaining as ever. I can't really see why taking away head contact will make the NHL less compelling. I know that I seem to end up repeating this point virtually every time the subject gets raised, but I hope that the league doesn't require a few guys getting crippled or worse before the penny drops.
That's all for this week. If you see anything that you're interested in, leave a link in the comments.

It's too bad Feaster had literally nothing to work with in terms of acquiring players at the deadline without giving up picks (which is something the team just can't afford to do anymore).
Agreed. For what he had to work with (or didn't, rather), Feaster didn't do too bad of a job at the deadline. And the loss of the seventh rounder for Modin? Eh. At that point you can pretty much sign anyone you'd otherwise draft.
Still, the acquisitions aren't really helping either. Neither helpful nor hurtful to the club, the TDL moves just...are.
It seems easy enough to say that the Flames missed the boat in not acquiring impact players for a playoff run (or to even win a playoff series) but really they didnt have the assets to acquire anyone of real importance and in all honesty it likely would be a waste anyways.
IF the Flames make the play offs (50/50 at best at this point) I would never bet on them beating a top team in the first round. Do I think they COULD win a series? Of course I do but I would never bet on it. Even if they sold the farm and acquired Brad Richards I still wouldnt bet on them to beat SJS, CHI, VAN, or DET. If we're lucky I hope they get to face Phoenix in the first round because they seem like the weakest team in the West Playoffs.
So no, Jay Feaster missed the boat but it wasn't the right time to acquire for a playoff run anyways. Any play off game is bonus at this point to begin with. I just hope this miracle run doesnt lead the owners and GM to think the team is close and a few minor tweaks will get them over the top next year. That being said I dont think the team needs a major overhaul but they do need 1 or 2 high impact forwards before they will be a real contender.
I believe it was Robert who suggested they sign Bieksa this summer and trade Regher. That seems like an awesome idea. I really do wonder what could be had for Regher (Semin perhaps?) or a pretty good prospect from a contender.

Brining chicken offers the ultimate in moistness and flavor of grilled chicken.
Heads-Up! The recipe calls for one teaspoon of "table" salt.
If all the chicken doesn't fit on the grill at once, grill the chicken in 2 batches (keep first batch warm in oven while second batch is grilling).

Proximate Retribution
Meghan J. Ryan
Southern Methodist University - Dedman School of Law
January 30, 2011
48 Hous. L. Rev. 1049 (2012)
SMU Dedman School of Law Legal Studies Research Paper No. 67
An essential element of the theory of retribution has been missing from courts' and legal scholars' analyses. While they have outlined a number of varieties of the theory and fleshed out their nuances, courts and scholars have largely neglected to examine which harms flowing from a criminal offender's conduct should be considered in determining that offender's desert. The more remote harms caused by an offender's conduct, such as the effects of his offenses on the families and friends of his victims or the effects of criminal conduct on society in general, are pervasive in communities across the nation. This Article takes a first look at this neglected issue of the role that more remote harms should play in sentencing and asserts that accounting for these more remote harms under certain conditions would better reflect the basic tenets of harm-based retributivism, the theory at the heart of many sentencing schemes. The Article acknowledges some of the concerns that considering these harms raises and argues that a proximate causation analysis is essential to limit the harms considered in sentencing while recognizing the full array of harms caused by criminal conduct. This notion of "proximate retribution" is necessary to rein in criminal liability under the theory.

MONTICELLO, UTAH--On January 26, 2009, the Seventh District Court in Monticello sentenced Eric Leon Butt Jr. to four second-degree felony counts of one to 15 years in prison for theft and stolen property crimes related to his illegal guiding operation. He was also ordered to pay $54,150 in restitution to two hunters he had contracted to guide.
In separate incidents, Butt had agreed to guide two out-of-state hunters. The hunters had wired money to Butt to buy the hunting permits, which he failed to do. Butt told the hunters that he had purchased the necessary permits, but could not produce them, when asked to do so by Utah conservation officers.
While guiding one hunting client, the client's rental car was broken into and $25,000 was stolen. Wildlife investigators later recovered the money from a hiding spot near Butt's hunting camp. Upon further investigation, Butt was found to be in possession of stolen property, including two ATVs and camp trailers.
Law enforcement officials suspect Mr. Butt's to be responsible for the theft of other camp trailers and for the commission of additional wildlife crimes. Anyone with information about the defendant's possible illegal activity is encouraged to call the Help Stop Poaching hotline at: 1-800-662-DEER.

Thomas Sunday
The Gospel according to John 20:19-31
On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them: "Peace be with you." When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them: "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him: "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them: "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in His side, I will not believe."
Eight days later, His disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said: "Peace be with you." Then He said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing." Thomas answered Him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to Him: "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
