This is right after the first comb fell and it was only a couple minutes later that the second comb fell but i have them propped against the side of the hive so hopefully they can recover some brood.
And this one is the fifth frame before the disaster… some how the fourth frame got missed during the picture taking and confusion
Today we opened my hive to look for the queen everything was going good until we got about five frames into the hive and then the comb started to run together. I tried to keep it seperated but the two combs that were stuck together broke lose from the top bars and fell in pissing of a hell of alot of bees. But we got the hive somewhat back together and hopefully they still raise the brood in the broken comb… anyway hopefully ill have better luck next time

Dreams stop being dreams when you turn them into goals. In life, if there is something you want to do - you have the ability to pursue it. No matter what it is, you have the ability to fight for what you want. People do it every single day. I did it. I fought for something. For that dream I had. I have so many more dreams now but when I had that one dream at 17, everything I had hoped my life would be, is now. Thankful, blessed, happy - sums it up. But what I am saying, your dreams never stop. My dreams just grow as I grow and I plan on executing every single one. You can too. No one said it would be easy. No one said there would be no bumps in the road… but never quit. A winner never quits and a quitter never wins.

Good news: My collection of first edition signed crime and mystery hardcovers inspired me to finish my own — SACRIFICE FLY (Minotaur Books, Oct. 2012). Bad news: My debut took so long to write that my custom-built cabinet got so stuffed that there is no room for my own. Good news: My second (CROOKED NUMBERS, Minotaur Books, out 10/15/13) and third (DEAD RED) came out so quickly that if I keep this up, I may someday be able to build another cabinet!
Actor/writer/director Malachy McCourt holds my debut novel, Sacrifice Fly, after we both read our works at Irish American Writers and Artists Salon, NYC, 6/4/13.

Friends since they started playing lacrosse together at age five, 2013 Catonsville graduates Deb Milani and Maddie Hunt will be forever linked as a pair of athletes whose talent in three sports was matched by their extremely competitive desire to win.
The pair, who made winning lots of games for four years more than a habit, will now be entwined together as the Catonsville Times Co-Athletes of the Year.
Both of them will continue playing lacrosse in college at programs that are at opposite ends of the country.
Milani will join a University of Maryland women's team that has a history of success and came within an overtime loss to North Carolina this past spring of winning its 11th national championship.
Hunt will be part of history as a freshman for the first-year girls lacrosse program at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
They are both eagerly looking forward to playing at the next level.
"I'm just excited, and to be pushed to be the best that I can be and be playing with the best players in the country is great," said Milani, who carried a 4.6 weighted grape point average into her final senior season.
Hunt, who had a 4.33 weight GPA and scored 1790 on her SATs, always wanted to travel for college.
"I love Catonsville and I think I'll come back here, but I've always wanted to go out and meet new people and start somewhere different," she said.
They left their mark behind on an elite lacrosse Comet program that went 33-5 and reached the state semifinals the past two seasons.
Milani, who was named Times Co-Athlete of the Year along with Rachel Schwaab in 2012, led the 16-3 Comets in points this past season (94 goals, 29 assists), draw controls (129) and ground balls (46).
Last year, the junior midfielder was one of 12 athletes, and the only one from Baltimore County, named to the Greater Baltimore area US Lacrosse All-American First Team.
This spring, she was one of 44 seniors selected for the Under Armour All-America Lacrosse team and was the only public school player from Baltimore County selected for the 22-player roster.
She will play for the South team at 5 p.m. on July 5 at Towson University's Johnny Unitas Stadium.
"She stepped up as a leader this year and she made the people around her better," said Catonsville coach Becky Clipp, who was a Second Team All-American at the University of Maryland and a Catonsville High graduate.
"She has the total package and she can do anything. She can change the game by herself," said Clipp, the Catonsville Times Athlete of the Year in 2003.
According to Milani, Clipp was 'probably' the toughest coach on her 'because she knows me so well and what I'm capable of and she knows when I'm not living up to my potential."
It was extremely rare for Milani, who scored 93 goals and had 121 draw controls for the 17-2 Comets as a junior, not to live up to her potential.
It was her shot, while being triple-teamed, that nearly won the Comets their second straight Baltimore County championship against Hereford, but it caromed off the top of the post and the Bulls scored at the other end for a 13-12 win.
"That was the worst thing ever, and then it went so far off and they got the rebound and went down and scored," she said.
Hunt was the top defender for that squad that won its second consecutive regional crown in the spring.

One month after oil spill: Conservation community asks citizens to hold Exxon, government agencies accountable in cleanup – Aug. 1August 1, 2011
Categories: Agriculture • Clean Water • Landowner Rights • News • Northern Plains Resource Council • Pipeline
Monday, August 1, marked one month since the ExxonMobil Silvertip oil pipeline burst beneath the flooding Yellowstone River. An estimated 42,000 gallons of crude oil quickly spread downstream, affecting wildlife, parks, landowners, ag producers, and others. Hundreds of workers continue to clean up the oily mess.
At a media conference Monday morning, across from the still-closed Norm's Island, Billings resident Mary Fitzpatrick represented nine Billings-area conservation groups in outlining a dozen recommendations they want Exxon and state and federal agencies to take during and after the continued cleanup and the prevention of future oil spills.
"We citizens just can't stand by and let Exxon and the government agencies handle the response," said Fitzpatrick. "They need to hear from us about what we see and what we want.
"What do we want? We want complete, timely information; we want the cleanup to continue until there's nothing more that can fruitfully be done; we want landowners fully compensated, including long-term monitoring of damage to water, land, and wildlife, and we want taxpayers fully reimbursed for the cost of the local, state, and federal response.
"We also want all existing pipelines in the state re-examined for safety issues. And, of course, we are especially adamant that a State Department decision on TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline across eastern Montana not be rushed, as Congress is attempting to do. This pipeline, which will carry 20 times as much oil as the Exxon Silvertip, must not put at risk Montana land and rivers."
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to force a State Department decision for a permit for the Keystone XL by November 1. It has not been introduced in the Senate. The State Department previously has said it will make a decision by the end of the year.
Groups signing on to the recommendations included Northern Plains Resource Council, Montana Audubon, National Wildlife Federation-Northern Rockies and Prairies Region, Yellowstone Valley Citizens Council, Montana Conservation Voters, Montana Conservation Voters-Yellowstone Chapter, the Western Organization of Resource Councils: Magic City Fly Fishers, and Trout Unlimited – Chapter 582.
The conservation groups' recommendations will be sent to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Governor's Office, Montana Department of Environmental Quality, and ExxonMobil.
Joint Statement by the Billings Oil Spill Conservation Community
August 1, 2011
One month after the industrial disaster, we have taken the time to observe and reflect on the ongoing impacts of ExxonMobil's pipeline spill into the Yellowstone River, and have identified a number of issues and concerns that need to be fully addressed. While we are encouraged by the efforts of many involved in the clean-up, we have several recommendations for action to deal with the effects of the spill.
This is our first joint statement; we believe an honest, ongoing dialogue with all stakeholders is needed, and we may develop further and more specific recommendations as our understanding of the causes and impacts unfolds.
1. Transparency
There continue to be problems with transparency and access to critical information regarding the spill. For instance, though Exxon admitted that its initial assertion of a six minute leak was off by as much as ten-fold, it did not revise its estimate of the volume of oil spilled in the river until multiple weeks had passed. We are concerned that it took two weeks after the spill for news to come out that the pipeline has been carrying toxic and corrosive tar sands oil. We are also concerned that it has taken more than three weeks for oil samples to get tested when knowledge about the oil is crucial to clean-up plans.
Given Exxon's inconsistencies and delays, we appreciate the attention Governor Schweitzer and the state Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) have given to the spill and encourage them to continue the good work. However, some steps still need to be taken.
- Both EPA and the DEQ should publicly release their oil sample test results. All Montanans should have thorough and reliable information about what polluted the Yellowstone River.
2. Clean-up and Monitoring
The State of Montana has the power to impose clean-up standards far stricter than the EPA's. It should do so, because years after Exxon's clean-up crews are gone, Montana's sportsmen and agricultural water users will still be here. Thorough clean-up is crucial not only for the river itself but for the 150 separate properties, as well as fishing access sites, parks, and all downstream water users.
Beyond state and federal efforts, it is also imperative that citizens remain vigilant. Though it is unwise for ordinary Montanans to attempt clean-up themselves, they have a vital role in documenting damage and informing agencies about what they find.
- Citizens should record and photograph any residual oil from locations that are purported to be cleaned.
- A long-term wildlife monitoring program should be developed, and Exxon should provide multi-year funding. For example, citizen science efforts focused on birds are feasible; Montana Audubon, in conjunction with the Yellowstone Valley Audubon Society are able to lead such efforts.
- Montanans who observe troubling signs affecting fish or wildlife should call the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Hotline at 800-259-0596.
3. Landowner Rights and Agricultural Productivity
Area landowners deserve rapid compensation that doesn't take away their rights to future claims. After the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska, many fishermen waited nearly 20 years for payment. Landowners who have lost crops and feed for their livestock should not have to bear the immediate financial hardships. They should also not have to sign away their rights in order to receive relief. All too frequently with these sorts of incidents, settlements require landowners to give up future remedies, a particularly dangerous gamble in the face of potentially long-term unanticipated effects. Landowners should not have to choose between their immediate needs and long-term agricultural productivity, and should consider carefully before signing anything.
- Exxon should offer swift payment to landowners without any conditions regarding future claims.
- Landowners should consider carefully before signing anything offered to them by Exxon.
- The State of Montana should require long-term monitoring for agricultural productivity and hold Exxon accountable for long-term impacts to landowners.
- The State of Montana should create a Citizen Advisory Council of affected stakeholders to provide for the on-going sharing of information and to make sure that future impacts continue to get noticed.
- Exxon should be responsible for future monitoring
4. Taxpayer Burden
Montanans did not bury the pipeline close to the river's bottom. Montanans did not neglect to shut down or repair the pipeline even though an anomaly was discovered in June. Exxon did, and Exxon should foot the bill for its unfortunate mistake. We hope that state, local, and federal agencies are keeping close tabs on clean-up expenditures and charge Exxon, America's second largest corporation, whose second-quarter profits neared $11 billion (up 69% from the prior year).
- Exxon should be required to pay all costs associated with clean-up oversight and administration.
- The various state agencies incurring expenses because of the spill should publish the tally of such expenses on a regular basis, perhaps monthly, and indicate how much they have been reimbursed.
5. Pipeline Safety
This spill is not an isolated incident and, as such, raises broader questions of pipeline safety. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has documented at least 106 American ExxonMobil pipeline spills between 2002 and April, 2011. And the problem extends beyond Exxon. For instance, on July 12, an oil spill from yet another company was discovered in northwestern Montana. It had gone unreported for a month. We commend the Governor for announcing his Pipeline Safety Review Council, but feel that similar due diligence should be paid to future pipelines as well.
TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline would have 20 times the transport capacity of the ExxonMobil Silvertip Pipeline and carry a highly corrosive type of oil under hundreds of waterways, including Montana's Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers. Given that TransCanada's already-constructed Keystone I pipeline in the Dakotas has reported a dozen leaks in the last year, state and federal decision-makers should take a closer look before approving Keystone XL.
- Governor Schweitzer and the DEQ should require TransCanada to have a publicly available emergency response plan, as well as work with landowners to make sure their livelihoods are protected.
- Our congressional delegation should vote against proposed legislation that would needlessly force the State Department to finish its review of the pipeline by November 1. The bill would shortcut the proper analysis needed to prevent future accidents.
Put simply, our Yellowstone River and surrounding lands must be put back the way they were before the spill, and we cannot afford another Yellowstone River oil spill.

On the StarCraft 2 beta forums, Mac users were complaining daily about a lack of a Mac client. They kept bragging about how much better their Mac was than a pc.
Day 1 of the Mac client release?
"Why is the Mac version so slow?
"Why is the Mac version so much slower than the Windows version?"
I loved the irony. The Windows version was faster with Bootcamp than their native client.

Since Windows 7 came out, Mac's really have absolutely no advantage over windows, save for the fact that more hackers/virus people spend time trying to break it.
As a PC user, I'd say Macs don't have to deal with:
Step 1: New Windows 7 pc
Step 2: Connect to internet & get internet security installed
Step 3: Click on IE8
Step 4: go to getfirefox.com
Step 5: Remove all shortcuts to IE8
But I don't have too many problems with Windows 7.

Step 4: go to google.com/chrome
There fixed.
"I loved the irony. The Windows version was faster with Bootcamp than their native client."
If you "use" Bootcamp and install Windows on it, using the Windows version to play ON windows it's still native. Bootcamp just -simulates- the BIOS, we use EFI. So yes it's possible that the Mac OS X native client runs slower then the native Windows client (it's all about optimization, something they might haven't done *yet* on the OS X client).
"Since Windows 7 came out, Mac's really have absolutely no advantage over windows, save for the fact that more hackers/virus people spend time trying to break it."
I can name countless advantages. It depends on what kind of 'user' you are.

The OSX version is still the native version. The game ran faster on the same hardware using Windows than the OSX version.
Yes, part of it is due to optimization issue, and part of it had to due with the lack of DirectX texture compression. It was still ironic and funny that all these Mac users who had bragged about their systems, and demanding a Mac client for months because they didn't want to boot into "shitty Windows", were now complaining in large numbers about how much more their version sucked.
Read it and weep baby. Long live the Mac!
Mac users don't typically expect ports of games to actually be as good or better than the Windows version. If they do, they clearly have not been a mac user long enough!
It is not surprising in the least that a bootcamped install of SC2 will play better than the OS X native client. This is the nature of the development of so many game developers to gravitate towards Windows optimizations and native Windows technologies that typically OS X optimizations are done after the fact. I still commend Blizzard for making sure that SC2/Diablo/WoW all have native mac clients at launch, but I know that the mac clients are not usually as fast as their Windows brethren. Even Steam has many optimizations yet to be done to their now-fantastic multiplatform gaming service. Many mac users are excited for the chance to play these previously-impossible to experience games without the use of Windows.
But for any Windows user to bash mac users for using their platform of choice merely reeks of fanboyism and knee-jerk baseless one-upmanship, and TBH you lose of lot of credibility in my eyes. You are too uninformed to make such loose exaggerations and hyperbole to the point that I quickly stop reading, much like many of the senseless "FIRST" posts that we typically associate with nubs. GG and all that jazz, you're still a nub. Recognize that perhaps you don't really understand the situation as clearly as you think you do, then perhaps take a breath and post something that merits reading. Until then, take my advice and stop being a idiot.
Thanks, and I hope that Basil learns his lesson about starting a PC vs. Mac war. :)

Bilge Pump Problem
Here's the latest - life is good on the boat - I have started renovations and evicted all the fleas and some of the termites, installed new lighting, and bought rugs.
Recently, I noticed that both my bilge pumps are not going on. I checked the pumps and they are both working - the switches also are working... but yet the whole system won't turn on automatically when the water rises like it used to.
Could this be a problem with my wiring? I check the bilge every other day and can run the pumps manually, but how do I fix this problem?

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
Relieved, I let the book fall behind a stone.
I climb a slight rise of grass.
I do not want to disturb the ants
Who are walking single file up the fence post,
Carrying small white petals,
Casting shadows so frail that I can see through them.
I close my eyes for a moment and listen.
The old grasshoppers
Are tired, they leap heavily now,
Their thighs are burdened.
I want to hear them, they have clear sounds to make.
Then lovely, far off, a dark cricket begins
In the maple trees.

I painted this at some point in July or August of 2011. It was within the first three months of moving to California.
I painted it right after this desert landscape. I hated this little painting at the time, but now I can't remember for the life of me why.
I don't think it is quite finished, but I'm going to leave it as a testament to where I was artistically at that point in time.

Scooter the Neutered Cat promotes a gonad-free lifestyle to save kitties »
Megan Rascal here, on the Ad Beat again. Here's a super silly commercial for GiveThemTen.org, a campaign to combat kitty overpopulation and euthanasia in shelters:I love Scooter! He will definitely catch some attention and that's got to be good for spreading the message. I know from past posts that many of us disagree on cats in clothes, but I'm fine with it if the cat isn't protesting. And Scooter seems super chill.
You can see some behind the scenes shots in this video below. Apparently, Scooter comes from a shelter himself. The shelter said he was unadoptable because he had a serious 'tude. Look at the boy now!:
Totally chill. And he has a great message because hella cats are killed in shelters all the time. Besides simply raising awareness on the importance of spaying and neuturing, Scooter provides a lot of info about where to get low-cost spay/neuter surgery and will even give your cat a ride to get snipped! There's also info on TNR and links to kitties up for adoption. So, lots of good stuff on the site.
You know who they need to do a campaign like this for? Bros with male dogs. Because, I swear, I have encountered way too many dudes who won't neuter their male dogs because of some sort of testicle worship. Bonkers. Are people like that about male cats too? Or is it just a dog thing?
Of course it is to be noted that GiveThemTen.org specifies it wants a no-kill world for cats. And as we've recently discussed, most people feed their cats other animals. So, I guess those other animals don't get a no-kill world. BUT less cats having babies means less cats around to eat other animals. We still win! Yay!
Note: Is "Give Them Ten" a play on 9 lives?? That's what I'm thinking but not sure. I invite your insight.
Another note, this time for my ad nerds in the crowd: The campaign is by Northlich Cincinnati. Good job, pals!

Stop eating eggs! For Little Miss Sunshine's sake! »
Meet Little Miss Sunshine from Animals Australia.
Animals Australia has a funny campaign, "That ain't no way to treat a lady" about egg-laying hens. It's a cute little play on gender roles. You can see the commercials on the link above but I like this sweet video about Little Miss Sunshine! Look at her looking in the mirror! So silly! I love her!
So what do you say, omnis and vegetarians? Maybe a living being is more important than breakfast?

"Honest Scarecrow" by Funny or Die.
Several people suggested Vegansaurus might want to post that Chipotle scarecrow commercial. I was like…you're cray. All my advertising friends were immediately taken with the vid and posting it all over fb and I was just like…you're cray. How can anyone take this seriously? Sorry bros, Chipotle is not some caring, anti-big ag corporation. I like Chipotle, I won't lie, but come on. Don't be silly.
Then, finally, one of my ad peoples (Yay Pete Johnson! Speak the truth!) posted this Funny or Die parody. Please, let it knock some sense into the world.

Here I am, on the vegan ad beat again! This time, we have a wacky spot from Silk by agency EVB. I haven't tried Silk Iced Latte yet, have you? Is it good? I'm not one for iced coffee but it's about to be summertime. Hot weather makes people go all sorts of cray. Once I start sweating, who knows what I might do! Drink iced lattes! Take a cab five blocks! Hole up in my air-conditioned apartment watching DeadZone on Roku and going straight-up Todd Oldham on the walls with potato stencils and hot-pink paint!

Here's a brand new commercial from Mercy For Animals. It launches today in NY, Chicago, and LA on MTV, VH1, and Bravo, and then also nationwide on HULU.
Say word? MTV, VH1, Bravo and HULU? That's a big deal! What do you think? Is it good enough to represent us on the mainstream stage? Will it turn-off meat eaters or open some minds? Furthermore, do you think advertising in the mainstream media is a necessity or could it be bad for the veggie and AR movements? Or what? Discuss!

Is the world scared of veganism? »
Can't see the video? Watch it on Vegansaurus.com!
Came upon this video from the Vegan Society recently and I got to say, I'm into it. I know lots of people get touchy when you compare animal suffering to human suffering, but it's not really comparing the suffering, it's juxtaposing radical ideas and societal movements people said were improbable or downright impossible. I know it's also comparing injustices, but it's not saying such and such is a greater injustice than something else. It's just like, a faction of people opposed this and were actually able to change things.
People often can't seem to understand that kind of thing though. It's like my example* I've given in the past, about how it feels to be vegan in an omni world:
They get mad AT ME for being vocal about my veganism, and I'm like, OK, what's something that actually upsets you? How about sex trafficking? What if sex trafficking was in your face every waking hour and everyone you know and love isn't just compliant, they are standing in a line leading out of the brothel eagerly awaiting their turn.
I told this to a (very smart) omni friend and she was like, I don't think that's a good example to gain empathy from omnis because people will reject the idea that animal suffering is the same as human suffering. I'm like…? I didn't say the SUFFERING was the same or even similar, I didn't say anything about suffering at all. I was relating the experience of opposing animal suffering in a indifferent world to something I think most omnis actually do strongly oppose, i.e. sex trafficking. How does that message not make it through? It's not like I'm calling factory farms the animal holocaust, I'm trying to relate two experiences to build understanding. Sigh.
*Self-quoting is the new reading.

Here's a commercial from Animals Australia about factory farming. The video is 11+ minutes but the commercial is at the beginning in the very first two minutes (it's for movie theaters, there's a shorter version for TV). It's kind of the craziest thing I've ever seen…but I'll admit, it totally made me tear up. Nothing too graphic, just, like, bittersweetness. Though the rest of the video may be more upsetting.
They are trying to get this commercial to run on TV all over (the world?) tonight! You can help by donating on MakeItPossible.com. Now, tell the truth, did you cry?
∞ posted at 07:58 by youtalkfunny
Dude, this commercial is so great. Before everyone bitches about how Silk is wack and Dean Foods is the worst, I just want to say 1) I AGREE OKAY? and 2) Still, this shit is just good for veganism. It makes cow's milk look gross, which it is, and makes almond milk look delicious, which it is. And I kinda want to get in a sexy sandwich with those two dudes, especially the one who looks like Weiner Dog. He'll be both breads and I'll be the ranch dip and marshmallow fluff. SANDWICHES DONE RIGHT.
Anyway, I'm not one for the ad beat, that's all my girl Megan Rascal, but I'd say this is advertising done right, and so let us SPREAD ITS GOSPEL, MAD MEN-STYLE.*
*I think that means we sleep with it and don't do our jobs and get drunk. I like!

San Francisco SPCA from Jullien Brothers on Vimeo.
You know me, always on the ad beat! We've been following BBDO San Francisco's awesome anti-puppymill ads for the SF SPCA and here's possibly the best one yet. It's a great mix of funny, educational, and macabre. How great is the dog's depression face? Only second to the depression face every dog in a cone collar makes.
One guy in the comments on SF Egoist is like, "yeah but it's not the puppies' fault they were born in a puppy mill! They should get homes too!" Yeah, dummy, after the SPCA raids that mofo and takes all the mommies out of there. But really, of course all dogs deserve a home, truth is though that millions of dogs aren't going to get one. The dogs in shelters deserve homes too and getting one there happens to fund rescue efforts instead of more animal torture and overpopulation. So, there's that.

This video is eleven times cray! It's pretty awesome but I can't help but worry for the kitty. It's all movie magic, right? Please? My Mitsy don't like to be thrown around too much. But when I'm holding her and she wants to get down, I might toss her on the bed or something. The best part is the head-shots anyway though, right? Oh, George! I want to film Mitsy's head and get to editing like yesterday.
I love the last line about "millions of viral videos waiting to be adopted," genius.

Damian Lillard shot up on draft boards this past year and was taken with the 6th pick by the Portland Trail Blazers. It looks like the Blazers made a great pick, as Lillard has been dominating in summer league games. Thursday, the guard threw down a vicious poster dunk on some poor defender.
I wasn't high on Lillard coming out of college, due to the level of competition that he played. Weber State is not exactly playing the best of the best. However, he is looking like he will have a long career in the league. It is only summer league, but he's off to a great start.
Damian Lillard fits exactly what Portland needs too. They have been looking for a point guard for a long time. Lillard just might be a guy who plays an effective point for almost 12 years. Things will have to go right but I think he will be a solid pro for a number of years.
If he keeps putting up plays like this, Lillard will be a household name sooner rather than later. The Blazers might have found a perfect guard to play alongside some of the good poster players that they have.
People knock the summer league but this is the first time that a lot of people have seen Lillard play. I consider any exposure to be good exposure, especially if he is throwing down dunks like this. Don't let the size fool you, Lillard can jump out of the gym.

hey there :]
Really? Am I? I really don't think I do that well…and all I do is answer questions.
Well, my father, of course, was a seamen and my mother stayed at home with me. She taught me everything about being a proper price. Now, as a child, I wasn't to interested, however, she also told me stories about mermaids! She was fasinated by the creatures, but I was far more intertested in being at see like my dad. The days I went out to sea with my dad are my fondest memories. He taught me how to be brave, and daring. I loved both my parents very much. Comboned they made me the person I am today…along with some help from Grimsby and Carlata. I miss them.
You are my absolute favorite sailor little lady. I love you too. Goodnight!

Mercedes-Benz has a history of offering performance models that would make any niche supercar manufacturer cower. The latest among them is the SLS AMG, but the gullwing coupe and its roadster counterpart aren't the extent of what the German automaker's skunkworks have in store. No, that place of honor at the top of the Mercedes-Benz lineup will soon be taken by an SLS AMG Black Series.
Following in the footsteps of the SLK55 AMG Black Series, CLK63 AMG Black Series, SL65 AMG Black Series and (most recently) the C63 AMG Black Series, the new SLS AMG Black Series promises to eclipse them all with an anticipated 560 horsepower, reduced curb weight and aggressive aerodynamics package.
These spy shots, snapped while the vehicle was undergoing cold-weather testing in the frigid north, also show the tell-tale widened fenders to house the upgraded rolling stock and a new front bumper to feed the over-clocked engine with all the air it needs to breathe.
We're told to expect the SLS AMG Black Series sometime next year, but you can check out the spy shots now in our high-resolution image gallery.

3 Top Supplements for Women

Here at Mohr Results, we get more questions about dietary supplements than anything else. Women often want to know about the "best" supplement for fat loss or skin health, while sometimes it's about energy, bone health, or general wellness.
Since the question comes up so often, we thought we'd share some of our favorites. But remember that supplements aren't in place of a poor diet, but instead a complement to veggies, fruits, lean proteins, healthy fats and grains. We actually refer to them as "complements" instead of supplements, since the intention is that they do just that. That being said, here are three complements/supplements we encourage adding to your own diet.
Fish Oil
If we could take just one 'complement' this would be it. Most people do not get enough omega-3 fats. We certainly encourage increasing omega-3's in the diet by eating more cold water fish — like wild salmon, anchovies and sardines — but also understand that these aren't always the most popular. To complement our intake of fatty fish, we add Nordic Naturals fish oil to our daily regimen for us and our girls, who are 4 years-old and nearly 2 years-old. Omega-3 fats are important for heart health, brain health, recovery from workouts and so much more. A recent study even showed that up to 96,000 people die each year from not getting enough omega-3 fats.
When it comes to nutrition, the whole is better than the sum of the parts. In other words, ingredients and foods eaten together offer more benefit than a single nutrient. A quality multivitamin is an example of this in supplement form, providing a variety of essential vitamins and minerals important to the diet. We use, like, and trust Rainbow Light for Women and Rainbow Light for Men (for the guy in your life). The nutrients come from whole foods (versus just isolated nutrients) to complement what we eat in our diet.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is another common deficiency in the diet. It is challenging to get D from the diet; it comes from foods like sardines and anchovies, egg yolks, milk, and to an extent, mushrooms. But many people typically don't usually eat enough of these foods, and relying on Vitamin D from the sun just exposes you to other health problems. (Using sunscreen is critical since it protects us from harmful UV rays, but it also blocks vitamin D conversion.) Most experts encourage a minimum of 1000 IU's daily, which is easily found in a variety of 'compliments.'
We both also use protein, regularly, but hardly consider that a supplement; it's just a convenient source of nutrition.
Of course some women may have some other unique needs, like calcium or iron. But when considering the "basics" of what we believe all women would benefit from, it's these 3 supplements. Daily.

Face Off: 3 Popular Supplements Go Head-to-Head
Written on February 22, 2012 at 2:41 pm , by Diets in Review
By Margaret Badore for DietsInReview.com
Can a concentrated dose of one of these "super" plants really help you lose weight? Our experts tend to say not likely, at least not anything long term. However, the growing popularity of raspberry ketones (since Dr. Oz's "miracle fat burner" endorsement last week) has us looking back at some of the biggest supplement fads in recent years.
Here, we take a look at three supplements that promise weight loss: raspberry ketone, hoodia and acai.
This supplement recently got major attention when Dr. Oz touted raspberry ketone as a fat-burner that can help anyone lose weight. Although scarce in nature, the synthetic raspberry ketone is relatively inexpensive. The supplement is basically a stimulant that works by increasing the body's production of norepinepherine and adiponectin. Norepinepherine boosts metabolism by raising the body's temperature, while adiponectin makes glucose less likely to be stored. However, there haven't been any controlled studies on humans showing that these effects result in weight loss. "Like other diet pills that have an effect on body temperature and metabolism I would think that these products would only be effective for a short period of time and would eventually have to be discontinued," says Dr. Sarah G. Khan, DietsInReview's resident pharmacist.

The series is named after a satirical publication in 'The Sporting Times' in 1882 after the match at Oval in which Aus beat Eng on Eng soil for 1st time.The obituary stated that Eng cricket had died and "the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Aus'.The Eng media dubbed the next tour of Eng to Aus in 1882-83 as the 'quest to regain the ashes'.During that tour in Aus a small terracotta urn was presented as a gift to Eng captain Ivo Bligh by a group of Melbourne women.The contents of the urn were reputed to be the ashes of an item of cricket equipment!Victorious teams often hold aloft replicas of the urn as a symbol of their triumph in Ashes series but the actual trophy has never been presented or displayed as a trophy.Regardless of who wins ,the urn is at MCC Museum at Lord's.Answered by ipsita sahoo, 04 Aug '09 12:01 pm

here welcome to: forums > dear dish-it > friends > my 'friend'
Whether you're digging them or dissing them - here's a place to dish about your BFF's or not.
Well. I'm in 8th grade and I have a friend, Alex. She wouldn't be my friend if it were up to me.. It's just nobody likes her. Nobody ever has. She's always mean and temperamental all the time. She has a hitting problem. I'll say that much. She gets agitated easily, She's a control freak too. If she doesn't get what she wants she goes and takes her anger out on someone or something and then 5 minutes later she's perfectly fine and over it. When I came to this school, I had a lot going on, you know.. In my personal, family life and such. I had just gotten over a self-harm issue. But she's been really abusive, as I've touched base on. I mean, referring back to the hitting problem she has, she's really abusive. Like, a little joke, she'll hit me. In P.E, she'll sneak up behind me and hit me for absolutely no reason. What I would do, is just confront her about how she's acting towards you, and tell her that she maybe isn't the same as she used to be, or she's getting a little too mean, and you think it's putting a risk up to your friendship... Just do it nicely, you don't want her to get mad. I haven't actually thought of a way to pivot out of my never ending days of getting practically beaten up by my "friend." But yeah.. Just confront her nicely, and tell her how you feel. Hope this helps a bit.

The Board of Governors of the Leather Hall of Fame (LHOF) is pleased to announce the 2011 inductees: Bob Milne, Leonard Burtman and the Eulenspiegel Society.
Bob Milne was one of the founders of the gay male SM movement in New York City. Milne came to New York in 1950, before there were actual leather bars and when leather social life mainly consisted of private parties. Milne was one of the main organizers of these parties and of the growing leather presence in gay bars in the 1950s, such as Shaws on Third Avenue.
Leonard Burtman was a publisher, filmmaker, photographer and writer, and is considered the father of the modern fetish publishing industry. He created the first nationwide distribution for kink, the first large successful multi-enterprise kink business, and successfully defended his publications from legal attacks. Burtman was the center of the American heterosexual kink community from the 1950s - 1980s. In 1962 he produced Satan in High Heels, the first fetish film for a mainstream audience. He contributed to the early development of dominatrix Monique von Cleef and publisher House of Milan.
The Eulenspiegel Society (TES) is the oldest and largest BDSM support and education group in the United States. TES is a not-for profit corporation located in New York City promoting sexual liberation for all adults, particularly those who enjoy consensual BDSM. TES provides classes, parties and events two to three times per week, all year long. TES was founded by Pat Bond in 1971, and has been a vibrant organization ever since.
Under LHOF rules, only three inductees are chosen each year. The two closest runners up in this years voting were writer and Kinsey researcher Sam Steward, and Mr. S. founder and community activist Alan Selby.
LHOF was formed to honor and preserve the legacy of the extraordinary men and women who have significantly impacted and shaped the history of the Leather/BDSM communities worldwide since 1950. Nominations can be made by anyone in the community, and the three inductees are selected by LHOF Board of Governors. The previous inductees are Tom of Finland, Chuck Renslow, John Willie, Tony DeBlase, The Satyrs MC and Frank Olson and Don Morrison. Learn more about all the inductees at the Leather Archives & Museum or at www.leatherhalloffame.com.
The Leather Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies and Brunch will be held at CLAW 10 at the Gateway Conference Center at the Hilton Garden Inn in Cleveland, OH on Sunday, May 1, 2011 at 12 pm. We invite all leather people to join us to celebrate and honor the lives and accomplishments of these great inductees. Find out more and order your tickets now at www.clawinfo.org

"Great sequel to "Moon Dance!""
5 out of 5
Misery, because the narrator makes the character sound so versitile.
Her voice acting during the dialogue. She did a great job bringing all the characters to life!
"Good Story, Bad Narrator"
This is the second book in the series and I'm really enjoying the overall story. What I'm not enjoying is the bad narration and bizarre music between chapters. What a way to ruin an audiobook. The narrator makes absolutely no attempt to give different voices to her characters. You can't tell one character from another. On top of that....one minute she's screeching and the next she's painfully monotone. I think I can honestly say she's the worst narrator I've ever listened to. Luckily the story is really good, so if you can overlook the poor narration it's worth the credit. If narration really matters you should probably pass.
those who might not care all that much about the specific recording's sound quality
the sound quality or lack there of in this recording made it tough to get past
the story jumped around from side plot to side plot soooooo much that it made it less enjoyable. I also wish there had been previous charcters' development again, I hadn't ever read any others in this series and really feel I missed out on understanding the subtle histories/tension/past chemistry etc with certain characters.
her performance was fine, the writing could have been better though
"2nd rate production"
I think I will pass.
NO! Never.
The quality of the production was poor (which is not the narrators fault), but I did NOT like the yelling and screaming. I had ear buds in and nearly ripped them out because of the volume. Learn to control the voice.
I don't know there was a lot going on in the book and I think some could have been used in a spin off book.
In general, I found myself thinking this is a cross between a soap opera and a lifetime special. I say soap opera because a scene would stop and the author would move to a different scene with different characters...like a soap opera. That might work for TV but I had a hard time deciding who the main character was with so many plots going on. The reason I mentioned a lifetime special is the piano music inbetween the annoying scene changes. Sometimes the music didn't fit the mood/feel of the scene being left. Nothing like a climactic moment with a little 'feel good' jingle to kill the suspense.

Nuit Blanche
For one night a year in Paris the idea is to stay awake and partake in the observance of night. Many public services, entertainment facilities and tourist attractions, cafes, bars and restaurants stay open throughout the night to help keep people awake. The white night is a celebration of human culture and communication and encourages people to enjoy one another's company; you are meant to appreciate all the things you don't find time to do during the daytime ratrace and everyday routines, like have long conversations, enjoy drawn out dinners, and play games. It is a wonderful tradition, widely celebrated, and a really special night to find yourself in Paris. You can stroll the famous streets, eat out and even visit certian attractions and it is a good night to socialise and perhaps meet some locals. The Nuit Blanche is primarily an arts festival so the galleries and museums often remain open and let people in free of charge; the city becomes a sort of all-night art exhibition. And Paris is incredibly well-equipped in this regard.
Date: First weekend of October annually

Schools are always looking for a leg up in recruiting, and camps are a great way for coaching staffs to develop relationships with players and camp coordinators that are often influential in a recruit's decision. One of the fastest rising camps in the country is Primetime Polynesian, being run for by former Utah player Pene Talamaivao, to fill a need on the camp circuit.
"We started PTP two years ago, covering skills for offensive and defensive linemen, linebackers and tight ends. We cater camps to them, since they're often neglected."
Currently based out of Corona, California, one of the hotbeds for Southern California recruits, Primetime Polynesian has turned into the top camp for turning out linemen in the West recently.
"So far we've produced 16 MVPs with guys like JoJo Mathis, Christian Garcia, Viane Talamaivao, Damien Mama, Austin Maloata, Cameron Hunt, Ainuu Taua, and Kammy Delp."
The training program that Talamaivao developed years ago while out in the Beehive State, is the one he uses today and has produced tremendous results.
"Using the Nemesis Elite program that I wrote in Utah, I was training University of Utah football athletes to test run my program. It was hit with gyus like Kepa Gaison, Kenape Eliapo, Aiona Key, Matt Martinez, and Sealver Siliga to name few who did the program, so I took to Mt. SAC JC and they used the program from 2007, winning national titles with it."
The workout developed by Talamaivao has become a must for any west coast recruit.
"Primetime Polynesian uses the Nemesis Workout. PTP became one of the fastest and high energy camps for the big guys in Southern California.
We are producing a large class of lineman throughout So Cal and will be hitting skill players in 2014. We are headed in the right direction and hopefully can get all our kids to college."
Having returned to their roots in 2013 with a Utah camp in June, PTP will be headed back this way next year, and is continuing to expand all over the west coast.
"Developing and training is the core of our system and we look to expand beyond California. We did Utah in June, but are also looking to hit the Bay Area and Las Vegas."
The longterm goal is for Primetime Polynesian to host and train the top players not only out west, but across the country.
"We want the best of the best developed and trained by us, and are in talks with several division 1 schools wanting to take full advantage of our camps."
