Had a major beard 3 days ago on this hive. Then 2 days ago, major beard. One day ago, no beard. Almost nothing. My knee gave out last week and was not able to get out to go add box or see if they even needed space.
Electric company was out around perimeter today with backpacks on; looked like they were possibly going to spray chemicals - if the electric company even does that.
Came home today, was told lots of dead bees in front of hive. Took my walker and went out to apiary. Thousands of dead bees. Probably 3 cupsful on just the hive stand. Maybe another 5 cups on the bottom board. Lots more on the ground in front of the hive.
The hive was totally empty. No stores. No larvae. 10 days ago only evidence of a very few beetles and it had lots of beautiful brood.
I didn't think an abscond usually meant dead bees?? The comb was still beautifully intact - doesn't look ravaged, as with robbing. There was evidence of 6 or 8 uncapped queen/swarm cells.
What happened, ya guess? Would a spray kill that quickly. I have 2 other hives - further away from the road (further from possible spray area), and they don't seem affected - as yet.

Why did Central Banks Stop Selling Gold?Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012 Dec 06, 2012 - 01:59 PM GMT
In 2009 the signatories of the Central Bank gold Agreement effectively stopped selling gold. This was just after signing the third Central Bank Gold Agreement which lasts until September 26th 2014. Why?
In 1999, the first of such agreements was signed by the U.K. and was called the Washington Agreement. It received the tacit blessing of the U.S.A. and Japan. This was followed by the signing of the Central Bank Gold Agreement, which ran from 27th September 2004 to the 26th September 2009. Ostensibly to accommodate the I.M.F.'s sale of 403 tonnes of gold on their own books, a third Central Bank Gold Agreement was signed to run from the 27th September 2009 to the 26th September 2014. Apart from the up-to 7 tonnes year of gold sales by Germany's central bank for the minting of gold coins, there have been virtually no sales of gold from the original signatories of their gold. In fact the previously announced sales (going back to the turn of the century) have not been fulfilled completely, even now. Once the I.M.F. completed their sales of gold, the absence of the developed world's central banks from the sale side of gold spoke volumes! How?
Their absence from the gold market is not a non-event. It makes as strong a statement on policy decisions as either buying or selling gold. If I, as an investor, sold or bought gold, it would express my opinion on the future of the gold price. The same applies to my continuing to hold gold. The same is true of central banks. We look at the reasons why the fear of an overhang of central bank gold sales pushed the gold price down until 1999 and why the fear of developed world central bank gold sales has dissipated and added to by the emerging world's central banks buying gold. Generally now, few expect the developed world to sell any more gold from their reserves. Perhaps a look at the percentage content that gold takes in their reserves over the years will give us one aspect of the answer?
Table of % of reserves of central banks in 2000, 2005, 2012
This first Table highlights the amount of gold held by the world's leading central banks throughout the world then the amounts held by the nations. More importantly it gives the gold price in 2000, 2005 and 2012. In the year 2000 when the gold price was $275.75 the next table shows the percentage gold formed of total reserves. As you can see the amount of gold held officially has dropped since then by around 2,000 tonnes, but the percentage it forms of total gold reserves has soared to 75.9% in the case of the United States as you can see in the table above.
The very fact that the world's leading central banks have retained their gold (even though the leading ones sold some of their gold) confirms their statement embodied in the Central Bank Gold Agreement statements that, Gold remains an important reserve asset.
The leading central banks who sold up to 50% of their gold reserves are being reminded of it frequently. Those who sold 20% under these agreements regret it, but those who signed the agreement but never reduced their reserves by sales into the open market, such as Germany, are smiling on both sides of their faces. But even the more reckless sellers of gold such as the U.K. and Switzerland have watched what's left of their gold reserves multiply by six times as defined by the U.S. dollar.
We certainly believe that the well qualified gentlemen who populate central banks know full well that the value of gold goes far beyond its dollar price.
We are fully aware that despite not buying more the simple fact that the threat of selling gold, which was the overall case with central banks before this century began, has been replaced by the visible fact that developed world central banks are no longer willing to sell gold but want to keep a firm grip on it, while emerging world banks are buying as much as they can as it becomes available.
The conclusion of this position is that central banks have moved away from rejecting gold as part of the monetary system and now see it as a reserve asset that is needed in the present monetary system. If the monetary system continues on its current decaying path, then that need will grow. It is a short step from there to wanting more.
Gold as a Counter to Currencies
When asked why Germany did not take up its option to sell 600 tonnes of gold, under second Central Bank Gold Agreement, Axel Weber, the, then President of the Bundesbank said that "Gold is a useful counter to the swings of the Dollar." No other statement explained so precisely why gold must be held by central banks. He went on to say. "Gold is an important factor for the confidence in the stability of the €."
The future is full of change just as the past has been, so a pure currency experiment, even if it lasts for forty years without disaster, cannot be expected to replace gold long-term. The inaction of the signatories of the Central Bank Gold Agreement were fully aware of this when they persisted in including in the Agreements as Clause 1, the statement that: "Gold will remain an important element of global monetary reserves."
Europe has seen far too much devastating change in the last century to place absolute faith in a currency system that history has shown, all too often, fails under pressure. The U.S. has not had the same experience and has absolute faith in its power and the dominance of dollar hegemony. History shows that this is vulnerable and is headed for a fall. One only has to look at the threats to the U.S. dominance over O.P.E.C. and the oil price alongside the impending arrival of the Chinese Yuan on the global scene to see the dangers from outside. Inside, the state of U.S. debt and the battle over reducing the deficit shows that the dollar's days both as a measure of value and the sole global reserve currency are numbered.
The behavior of the developed world's central bankers, in retaining the gold they now have, amply demonstrates the realization that gold is the only asset in history that facilitates the passing though from one monetary system to the next. It does this through economic failure, wars and the like. What it boils down to is that trust, in nations and their systems, always fades away. Gold is inhuman and as a result is trusted to survive any such passing.
There's no need for the signatories to buy gold at the moment as the rising gold price is having the same impact as more purchases would have done if the price had remained static as the above tables amply demonstrate.
Controls versus Realities
Leaders throughout history have been impelled to impose controls on their people, "for their benefit". But at the same time they have to accept the harsh realities of their nation's existence. When the euro and the European Central Bank came into existence, the E.C.B. stated that it wanted to hold 15% of its reserves in gold. If they had held to that it would have required them to sell a great deal of the gold donated to them by member countries because the rising price of gold has defeated that objective as gold is now 33.8% of its reserves. For central banks to manage the financial security of their nations prudently, they have to take into account changing risks and realities. We believe that the signatories of the three agreements of the European Central Banks accept that the E.C.B. will not sell gold and change the present percentage. The rising gold price is most certainly acting as a "counter" to the decaying nature of the developed world's monetary system. That's why the signatories have such a tight grip on it.
One of the traps financial analysts and investors can fall into is to believe that arithmetical formulae dominate the relationships of the movements of markets, including the prices of precious metals. What makes any relationship between, say oil and gold, or silver and gold, or even the multiples shares and stocks trade at, is what investors see the future holds. Items like confidence and trust and investor perception set a pattern that in turn gives rise to these formulae. Formulae follow and don't lead markets. Consequently they are changing all the time. Take the multiples on the share in U.S. equity markets; they are still very high, telling us that investors have a high degree of trust in a U.S. growing in the future. If that belief in the future turns to a bleak one, then these multiples will fall and reflect that future. So what does the future hold?
Future Central Bank Actions in Gold
With emerging market central banks across the entire emerging world buying gold as it becomes available on top of other buyers in the market, the supply of gold at 4,000 tonnes or so (around 1,600 in scrap and the balance in newly-mined gold) is barely sufficient to give central banks what they want. It's likely that from January 1st 2013, we may see commercial bank demand enter the market gold market. Due to the implementation of Basel III happening from then through the next two years, the demand may come first from banks outside the U.S. before it comes directly from U.S. banks. They're all aware of this timetable and certainly won't want to be in the rush on the date it is active. So expect to see commercial banks enter the gold market in the near future. We imagine that they will buy in the same way as central banks do -waiting for the offer. But with such a heavy potential demand the supply will prove insufficient. The only way forward in such a market is to chase other demand away with higher prices, which we certainly expect.
But as we have seen since 2007, the main concern of governments is the health of the banking sector. This is placed much higher up the priority list than the citizen's interests. With the monetary system decaying steadily, there comes a point where action is needed to restore confidence in it both home and abroad. As we can see from the above, it's the central and commercial banker's confidence that's to be protected first so they can continue to operate like the main arteries and veins in the body.
To restore that confidence, expect to see gold become the domain of the central and commercial banks at some point in the future. When this happens, depends on pre-empting a collapse of confidence and is as such, is impossible to predict.
With banker's concerns foremost, the return of gold to a pivotal position in a world, that will move away from globalization soon, is certain. It's somewhere around that point that one after another, nations will call in their citizen's gold whether held at home or abroad through a Confiscation Order. While it will have a similar impact to the one in 1933, it will be for entirely different reasons. The only common denominator will be the clear confidence in gold at the time among bankers.
We know of only one twin structure that can prevent your gold from being so confiscated and it is Stockbridge Management alliance Ltd. Under the guardianship of the Ultimate Gold Trust S.A. based in Switzerland [www.stockbridgemgmt.com & www.ultimategoldtrust.com ] and the author does have an interest in SMA.
Apart from that it is most likely that citizen's gold will be confiscated both at home and abroad under pressure at home from your central bank. In 1933 these pressures came as potential massive fines from them.

These were the tips I got together to share with my teachers this week. Links to other websites are in brackets.
Focus on Character
In the past week, I've seen a couple of really good resources about characterization that would go well with Common Core ELA .3.
The first is from the blog Workshop Classroom, from an August post "Teaching About Character Traits", which you can find [here] The post includes a link to a pretty slick handout that is available for free on Teachers Pay Teachers. The handout is divided into a number of different category that will help students organizer their thoughts. It includes the categories: nice, mean and sad with a list of synonyms for each word. It also includes categories for positive and negative character traits, and traits that describe characters who do a lot, and characters who do very little, and finally a section for opposites. Find the handout on Teachers Pay Teachers [here]. A character reference sheet, such as the one mentioned above, could go a long way in generating specific discussion about a character's traits.
I think the most interesting characterization activity I have seen in quite awhile is from Erin Klein on her blog Kleinspiration. In her post "If Our Characters Had Instagram", which you can find [here], Klein describes using Instagram as the inspiration for an activity she used with her second graders, where her students designed Instagram pictures for characters in the story. In the post, Klein provides an in-depth discussion of the teaching process she used to model the activity and engage her students in very high levels of thinking. In designing a photo a character would take the kids had to consider character traits, events, and settings in the story. Klein is offering her handouts free on Teachers Pay Teachers [here].
Please be sure to read Klein's blog post about the activity, it really is interesting to read about the discussion that occurred and her thought process in designing the activity. You can also follow her on Twitter @KleinErin by clicking [here]. If you're new to Twitter and looking for ideas and a lot of enthusiasm, she is a great person to follow
Wonder—Be Inspired—Choose Kind
Every now and then you read a book that really sticks with you. For me Wonder by R.J. Palacio is one of those books.
In the book, August (Auggie) Pullman, is a 5th grader, confronted with the daunting task of having to attend school for the very first time. Auggie was born with facial deformities that made it difficult to do every day things like eat, For his first 5 years of school, Auggie was homeschooled as he underwent extensive facial reconstructive surgeries. Auggie is just a normal kid, with normal thoughts and dreams, but many people have a hard time seeing past his physical appearance to understand how normal he is.
The book is a fantastic discussion starter for helping kids to understand the idea that they can not judge others based on looks. It also includes excellent examples of dynamic and static characters, as well as the opportunity for students to discuss a character's flaws and see how characters can overcome those flaws.
But, mostly the book is just incredibly inspiring. It is a beautiful description of struggle, courage, and kindness, and it is one that belongs in the hands of every student.
Check out the book trailer from the Publisher [here] and R.J. Palacio's website [here]. Follow Palacio on Twitter, [here] and the hashtag #choosekind [here]. The Choose Kind Tumblr page [here] is also worth a browse.
A Few More Halloween ResourcesThere are a number of fun Halloween songs you can watch on YouTube.
Be sure to check out Scary Halloween Song [here] by the Learning Station.
"Pumpkins, Witches and Ghosts" [here] is another fun Halloween song by the Learning Station.
"Ha-double L– O" is a classic from 1969 by Wade Denning and Kay Lande—see that one [here]
For more videos, you'll see additional recommendations on the right YouTube panel.
If you have time in the computer lab, ABCya games has a few fun, Halloween themed educational games to check out. Click [here] to see the selection. The best games for skill practice is Ghost Typing, although you may want to check out the crossword puzzle.

State Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, on Tuesday mourned a "magnificent" educator who died on her way home after making the case for teachers' issues at the Capitol, calling it a reminder to lawmakers to listen to those who take the time to come to Austin.
Zaffirini said Esther Buckley and her son, James, "were so proud, and so happy, lobbying on behalf of teachers, talking about the importance of education and the impact it had had on their families," when they came by her office Monday.
Esther Buckley died in a car accident as she and her son headed home to Laredo, and her son was injured, Zaffirini said Tuesday, citing an article in the Laredo Morning Times.
The "horrific" situation "is a reminder to all of us to appreciate our lives, to appreciate what we have, and especially to take the time to share ourselves with our constitents," Zaffirini said, "and to always remember that when they come to the Capitol to see us, their business is serious, it is important, and we should listen to them at all times."
She spoke to her Senate colleagues before asking them to adjourn in Buckley's memory.
The educators had been taking part in the Association of Texas Professional Educators lobby day.

It's amazing that a temporary building can look this good, air conditioning, wheelchair access, showers and changing facilities etc. Things are coming along well.
The rest of our leisure facilities face a long haul back to normal, but a good opportunity to make improvements along the way. Everyone will remember that photo of the flooded entrance, now a hive of building activity.

Straight lining10/30
Has anyone had success straight lining with a table saw and material feeder. Right now we have to send out all of our material to be straight lined and am looking for a reasonable alternative besides a dedicated straight line rip saw.
Without the upper and lower rollers it will not work. I tried it years ago with a 4 roll feeder and double wide wheels on a table saw with no good results.
Your lumber supplier doesn't offer straight lining s4s or s3s.
A good jointer is typically a lot more affordable and space saving then a SLR.
A possible solution would be to use a shaper, off set fence, straight cutter and a power feed. I don't have a SLR saw and this is how I do it if I have a lot of bowed wood. Basically it is a sideways joiner with a power feed.
Before I got a SLR I used to straight line on my slider.
With a 10' slider you could get a glue line quality cut right off of the saw.
If you don't have one, it's another reason to help build a case to get one.
We use our vertical panel saw.
Make yourself a plywood T with the overall length the material you want to straightline. The T should be an even dimension so you can set you fence at ripped dimension plus jig width, the up or vertical piece is the stabilizer so the plywood doesn't sag. This actually creates an inverted T. The one that we had was 12' long and was replaced with a SLR. To use this set the board with the points against the jig and holding the jig, then proceed forward into the saw. This means you have to set the fence every time you need to cut a different width, bummer.
Many years ago I made a sled to straight-line on my shaper, the guide groove in it was much longer than my unisaw. I took two 8 ft pieces of plywood a bit wider than the widest piece I needed to machine and joined them for a 16' sled. I attached a strip to engage the guide groove on the bottom, this is your reference so it has to be carefully aligned. The inside edge was trimmed so it would be right off the cutter to give a quick visual reference of stock removal. I then laminated a 36 grit strip of the floor sanding paper you can buy from rental centers. With the help of roller stands for support the board was placed on top and then fed into a Power feeder the sandpaper prevented the piece from moving resulting in a dead straight cut. I also climbed cut to prevent tearout. Slow but perfect results and easy to make. I don't know why this wouldn't work on a table saw, particularly if it has a large table.
Straight-lining is not the first consideration when parting-out random stock, and in many cases, it is not even necessary. A lot of good wood can be lost in the process.
"As I have learned, straight-lining a whole bunk of wood at once is busy work for factory workers, not woodworkers."
As this is a professional website, I think most here understand the difference between the need to straight-line a "bunk" of lumber for molding or shaping a run of random long lengths and getting out a cut list for a piece of furniture or millwork.
I mean no offense, but the lecture is unnecessary, not to mention off subject for this gentleman's post.
i have used many methods but what works best for me is an eight foot long fence clamped both front and rear and a powerfeeder. cutting with bow away from fence/blade. i do also keep a 12 foot straight edge for occasional skill saw cuts when required. i m mainly ripping for mouldings or beams .
I own a helical head jointer and straight line (when needed) long lengths up to 16 ft with an auxiliary sled (a straight piece of poplar), which i wax with paste wax to reduce friction. Its quicker and more accurate than the (dangerous) jointer method. Simply set your feeder as you would to rip, and let the board overhang what you want trimmed...done safely in one pass.
Not a current solution for Dave, But, 9 years ago I finally bit the bullet & bought a straight line rip. What a huge time saver it has been. I had no idea what it would do for me until I had one. With the correct blade, I get a great quality edge for direct gluing. One pass no matter how much needs to be removed. The laser shows me exactly where the blade will be cutting. Normal feed speed is 99'/min. My saw only has 15hp so I have to slow the feed a bit for 8/4. I have an Extrema and haven't had any problems. I'd never go back to not having one.

For those of you having trouble with row 3, remember that you have two single crochets in one stitch in row 2. You have to put a chain three , single crochet in next single crochet in each of these. Hope that this helps. You are actually making the cape larger to fit over the shoulders as you started at the neck. Shirley

I would like to know how to make this larger, as I am a busty gal. Anyone have suggestions? I know a larger hook would help, but think I would need to add stitches. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Rejoyce, For pattern-related questions, we suggest that you contact the designer (Red Heart Yarn) directly via the information found on their designer profile. I would also suggest posting your question on our Facebook page - perhaps other crocheters have fun into a similar problem and have advice. Thanks!

This is lovely but the pattern is confusing to me.
Nov 25, 2013
I am trying to crochet this but I think row 3---chain 3 and then sc ,, should be ch3 and then double crochet so that it will make a square shaped space. Has anyone else had this problem?

I also found a problem with Row 3 of the Lacy Crochet Capelet. did you find out if there is a mistake in the pattern or a trick to the pattern that the neglected to print. I've tried to get a hold of Red Heart but to no avail. Please help me!! I'm making this as a gift for my mother. Thanks!!! Linda

This pattern is so elegant--I was impressed with my own work! I made it for my mother for Christmas, and I know she'll love it. I'm relatively new to crocheting, but this was much quicker than a triangular shawl I knitted. I finished the pattern in about 5 days (working mostly in evenings) used Caron "autumn red", and one size larger hook than recommended to make the capelet slighty larger, and was very very pleased with the results. Thank you for your site--I've used it for almost all of my Christmas gifts. I'm a big fan!
May 12, 2010
I just printed this pattern and it took 4 pages what a waste of paper. I didn't need the "share this on" part or the comments. Could you please change your format for printing. Thank you.
May 12, 2010
This starts at the neck and goes down. Rows 32-36 are for the clusters at the bottom. Debi, take your time and read the instructions three times before you get started. The first time gives you the gist of it, the second time you start to comprehend it and the third time you really understand it. D
May 11, 2010
I haven't tried to make this yest but reading you comments and reading the pattern I would say you end at the lower edge since the last few rows are done in clusters...I am not an avid crocheter but am anxious to try this pattern...I am alittle afraid to begin due to the two comment from people who are good at crocheting...YIKES!
Apr 27, 2010
As an experienced crocheter for many, many years, I have tried this pattern over and over again (as I just love it!!) but cannot figure it out whatsoever. Cannot determine where it is starting (at the neck or at the bottom edge)-?? and cannot figure out how to begin!! HELP, please!! Would appreciate anyone's input so that I can make this beautiful capelet!! THANK YOU.

i love this pattern but i'm a little confused. could you tell me if the foundation is actually the top of the cape? i'm asking because the instructions for the 32nd row to the 36th row are for shell stiches and in the picture the top of the cape looks like it is all just open stiches. I would really appreciate it if you could clarify this for me. Thank-you for any help you can provide

The Faces of modularity, OSGi and Jigsaw (0 messages)
In a first post by Kirk Knoernschild, he discusses the two faces of modularity or what he describes as the The Runtime Model and The Development Model in the context of OSGi. Read Kirk Knoernschild's post 'The Two Faces of Modularity & OSGi': http://techdistrict.kirkk.com/2009/06/23/the-two-faces-of-modularity-osgi/ In another post over at the OSGi blog, Peter Kriens writes about what he deems an inaccurate depiction of OSGi being heavyweight, as well as other related topics, like the up until now competing modularity Jigsaw project. Read Peter Kriens's post 'Hi, We're OSGi. We mean no harm': http://www.osgi.org/blog/2009/06/hi-were-osgi-we-mean-no-harm.html And in a final post by Stuart McCulloch he writes his thoughts as a developer in the tranches with respect to OSGi vs Jigsaw, JSR 330 vs 299 and OBR vs P2. Read Stuart McCulloch's post 'OSGi vs Jigsaw, JSR 330 vs 299, OBR vs P2, Maven vs ...?': http://mcculls.blogspot.com/2009/06/osgi-vs-jigsaw-jsr-330-vs-299-obr-vs-p2.html

Several draft prospects have visited the Chargers this month.
Some are more high-profile than others.
Former Notre Dame inside linebacker Manti Te'o will make his next pre-draft visit in San Diego, ESPN's Ed Werder reported Tuesday. Teo will become the latest defender to arrive at the facility, joining a list that includes former Oregon inside linebacker Kiko Alonso, LSU defensive end Sam Montgomery and Washington State outside linebacker Travis Long, per sources.
Te'o recently visited the Lions.
He'd fill a need for the Chargers, who must replace Takeo Spikes at the starting Mike linebacker spot. Bront Bird and Jonas Mouton currently compose the depth chart.
Teo, at 6-foot-1 and 242 pounds, is an All-American who's become better known for his involvement in an apparent love hoax. He addressed reporters in February at the NFL Combine.
"I've learned just to be honest in anything and everything you do, from the big things to the small things," Te'o said in Indianapolis.
A projected late first-round selection, the 22-year-old likely will be off the board before the Chargers pick at No. 45 overall in the second round.
Alonso also is a potential Spikes replacement. He had 81 tackles in 2012 with four interceptions, six passes defensed, one sack and two forced fumbles. Draft analysts project him to last into the second, possibly third, round.
Montgomery and Long, like Alonso, visited the Chargers last week.
Montgomery didn't do himself any favors at the combine, fueling reported character issues when discussing how he elevated his game against stiffer competition.
"Some weeks when we didn't have to play the harder teams, there were some times when effort was not needed," Montgomery said. "But when we had the big boys coming in, the (Alabamas) or the South Carolinas, I grabbed close to those guys and went all out. Of course, this is a new league, the NFL and there are no small teams, small divisions; it is all Alabamas and LSUs every week. It's definitely something I have to get adjusted to, but I'm sure with the right coaching I will be fine."
He changed agents after the event. A league source said Tuesday that Montgomery is off many team's draft boards "due to character concerns." By hosting Montgomery, the Chargers gave themselves an extended chance to evaluate his character for themselves.
Long, about five months removed from surgery to repair a torn ACL, is said to be ahead of schedule in his rehab. He has begun running in a straight line, but work remains to regain some of his lateral movement.
Long played outside linebacker at Washington State, which runs a 3-4 scheme like the Chargers, and appeared in 47 straight games before the November knee injury.

'Saw V' is downright rotten
More "guilty" people deserving "punishment," kidnapped, chained in a basement filled with ingenious, self-mutilating torture devices that the punished must endure to survive to the next room on their way to "rehabilitation." More cops trying to solve the Jigsaw riddle before more of the punished bleed out, gruesomely.
More tape recordings of Jigsaw whispering "Make your choice."
Yeah, he died, was it in "Saw IV"? Or was it "Saw III"? I forget. Whatever. Tobin Bell still turns up as the pale, feral blond with a gift for gory gadgets.
It's so predictable that the mind wanders. Has Bell, a little-known character actor, cashed in big-time from these little horror pictures? Is he investing wisely? I mean, with the markets in the toilet and all. He didn't own WaMu, did he? Surely he saw that coming. The ATMs are always busted and you order checks, they send you small business deposit slip books.
But wait, isn't that the dishy Meagan Good, mixed in among the victims? You don't forget those lips ("Stomp the Yard"). The first "Saw" had Aussie talent behind the camera, and Danny Glover and Cary Elwes and a hacksaw choice -- whack off your foot or die in this basement. "Saw V" has a director named David Hackl (HAH! -- too easy) and Costas Mandylor and Scott Patterson are the cops on the case (one's a Fed).
"Saw V" utterly mimics the original film's formula -- that awful basement, those cops chasing clues in what we assume to be the same time-frame, those awful devices of death. Here, "every man for himself" is an instinct that could kill you, actual saws are in short supply (Jigsaw kept Home Depot in business), nail bombs are the IED of choice and "bleeding out" is a necessity.
And Bell is here in the many "This is how this all happened" flashbacks, explaining, justifying the unjustifiable.
"I give people a chance," he says. Sure. Judge, jury and slaughterhouse operator, that's our Jigsaw.
What's most laughable here is how familiar everybody stuck in the basement is with the "Jigsaw case," aka the other four "Saw" movies, when Shawnee Smith, Angus McFadyen, Dina Meyer, Donnie Wahlberg and other C-listers went through the same thing. Like later casts of TV's "Survivor," they think they know that they'll need this key or that one. And they're resigned to their fate.
"We're all here for a reason."
None of that "Why is this happening to me?" These five folk see where they are and instantly they're thinking, "Cary Elwes, hacksaw, when do I start?"
If they're not terrified, should we be? No.

Happy Valmochrismaweenygiving
It is not Valentine's Day yet. Stop telling me it is. Remove your displays, put away your candy, and take down the naked baby with the crossbow. It's January. Mid-January. Which, so you know, is a month before mid-February.
Now that I've vented, let me explain in a slightly less abrasive manner.
Go into a store at any given time in America, and it will be one of six holidays. From January First to February 14th, it's Valentine's Day. For the next three months, it's Mother's Day. In mid March it miraculously becomes July 4th, even though that's clearly intended to take place in July. The actual month of July brings us Halloween, which holds until November 1st when it becomes Thanksgiving. Four weeks later we get Christmas, which ends a month after that in time for hey, look at that, Valentine's Day.
There are other holidays, technically. But there are no specials on flag day candy, and I've never seen an eight-day Hannukah sale. As a consumer culture, we're guided by what is in our stores, and those six holidays are the only things that make the cut.
Maybe it'd be easier if we combined them into one year-long holiday called Valmochrismaweenygiving. We can celebrate by having our patriotic mothers date a pumpkin, eat a turkey leg, and give birth to the baby Jesus.
This weekend is Martin Luther King Day. A day to celebrate one of the most influential Americans of the 20th century. And I'll be honest, I forgot about it. Maybe that's because I don't have a day job and I'm not in school, so I couldn't get the day off to remind me. And there was no snazzy display in CVS.
I could be off base here, but I think celebrating a guy who helped end segregation is more important than thanking our mothers. I know my mother is reading this, and she'd be happier if the world cared more about equality and togetherness than if I made a call to 1-800-Flowers in mid May.
And Martin Luther King's birthday isn't the only MLK day we should be celebrating. Especially since his birthday doesn't often fall on the third Monday of every January (Who decided that?). We should be celebrating the day the Civil Rights Act passed. And the day that schools were desegregated. And the day that racism in America ended. Whenever it is that last one happens, we'll celebrate it.
There's still a LOT of racism in America. I got an e-mail yesterday that was signed, "eat a wing for the King!" Maybe she was referring to Elvis' infamous love of poultry, but I'm pretty sure it was a very misguided attempt at being culturally sensitive. On the flip side, I passed a man selling shirts that said, "First OJ, Now Kobe. Stay away from white girls!" Because if there's one thing that makes a rape and double homicide joke funnier, it's racism.
We've obviously still got a long way to go.
I wish we celebrated Martin Luther King's birthday with the same fervor we celebrate the Big Six. Though not with the imposed guilt of Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. Or the forced enthusiasm of July 4th and Thanksgiving. Or the gross misinterpretation of the original meanings of Halloween and Christmas. Okay, maybe it's better this way. But I propose this – next Valentine's Day, next Mother's Day, next July 4th, next Halloween, next Thanksgiving, and next Christmas, while you're shopping for candy, for flowers, for turkey, or for fireworks, take a minute to remember the third Monday in January. Take a minute to remember what kind of country we say it is we live in. And take a break from your one day sale to think about what you can do to make it that much more possible.
I know I'm going to get a flood of e-mails telling me that this is supposed to a humor column and I shouldn't be talking about actual issues. To you, I say happy July 4th.

After years of searching, 2 sisters finally meet
- Judy Bottomley waited until adoptive mother died to start searching for biological family
- Help of social worker with the Children%27s Home Society of Virginia proved key
- Sisters%27 paths may have crossed over the years
PHOENIX — On Thursday morning the doorbell rang in the quiet Mesa home Judy Bottomley shares with her husband, Jim.
The sound signaled a moment that Bottomley, 75, had hoped and prayed for — she'd even dreamed about it — most of her life.
Standing on the other side of the door was Rita Betush, 68, the sister that Bottomley had never met. Betush had traveled from Pennsylvania to connect Bottomley with the family she had longed to know since she was a child.
Bottomley had been given up for adoption when she was an infant. Thursday's meeting with Betush was the first time she'd seen any members of her birth family since then.
"It's almost surreal, like a Monet painting," Bottomley said, holding tight to her sister's hand. "It's so good to see her. I was telling Jim I was so afraid I was going to wake up and find out it wasn't real until I could touch her and put my arms around her and know she's flesh and blood. It was almost too much to hope for."
"We made it come true," Betush said. "Yes we did."
Bottomley's mother was divorced with three children when she took a job working as a housekeeper for a family in Roanoke, Va. She fell in love with the son of her employer, and Bottomley was the product of their relationship.
Although they would eventually get married and have other children, they were not married when Bottomley, who they had named Helen, was born and gave her up for adoption.
"My mom told me and my brother that we had a sister somewhere when I was about 10," Betush said. "At one time they hired a private investigator to look for her. My brother looked for her, too, in the 1970s, but they couldn't find any clues. It felt like all the time I was looking and wondering where she was. I wondered if she was still alive and if she knew about us."
Bottomley spent most of her childhood in the suburbs of Chicago, but she also lived in Texas, Arkansas and Indiana while growing up.
She knew she was adopted and wondered about her biological family.
"When I was a young girl, I used to dream I was standing on a corner in Roanoke," Bottomley said. "I was looking at people on the street and wondering if any of these people was my mother. That's how bad I wanted to know."
Bottomley recalls one afternoon while she was in high school when her adoptive mother asked her if she was interested in trying to find her birth parents.
"I took one look at her face, and I could see she was sad because she was afraid," Bottomley said. "So I said no."
She waited until after her adoptive mother passed away in 1987 before she began searching for her biological family in earnest.
That was the start of a decades-long quest that left Bottomley frustrated and often in tears as she had to navigate obstacles presented by Virginia's laws concerning privacy in adoption cases.
Last year, a young social worker with the Children's Home Society of Virginia brought fresh eyes to Bottomley's efforts.
The case had previously been considered closed because the agency contacted one of Bottomley's half sisters who said she didn't know anything about her.
But the new social worker noticed Betush's name in an obituary for their mother and contacted her.
"Last August I was working on a jigsaw puzzle when she called me," Betush said. "She asked if anybody had given up a baby for adoption, and I said my mother had, and we've been looking for her for years."
The agency initially acted as a go-between, forwarding emails between the sisters. In October, they were given permission to contact each other directly.
They've been sharing phone calls, letters and emails since then.
They found out there have been times when their lives have potentially overlapped.
When Betush and her husband, Bob, married in 1964, he was stationed at an Air Force base in California near where the Bottomleys were living at the time.
Their paths could have crossed again after the Bottomley's moved to Mesa. Betush's brother-in-law lives a few miles away in Chandler, and they have visited numerous times over the years.
They even took a trip to the White Mountains during the brief period when the Bottomleys were living in Show Low.
"They used to go to places like Organ Stop Pizza, where we used to go," Bottomley said.
They no longer have to rely on hope or coincidence to get together. The Betushes plan to spend a couple of weeks in the Phoenix area on this visit, and the sisters will visit as much as possible.
Bottomley has three children — a son by birth, an adopted daughter and a foster daughter — while Betush has two daughters.
They'll try to have family gatherings in Arizona and later at the Betush's home near Pittsburgh.
They made an appointment Thursday afternoon to have pictures taken. They plan to make the most of whatever time they have together.
As the sisters sat in Bottomley's dining room Thursday morning, they would spontaneously hug or touch each other or hold hands as if they were each checking to see if the other was really there.
"Just a couple of days ago, Jim said to me, 'You have a sister,' " Bottomley said. "I have a sister. That's something I've wanted my whole life and never had."
"Me, too," Betush added.

The Greenlite Lighting 26W/Q/4P/41K 26 Watt Quad Tube Plug-In 4-Pin CFL Lamp in cool white is a 26W Compact Fluorescent Lamp that replaces a 100W incandescent lamp, it uses 75% less energy and costs less to operate. A Greenlite bulb equals 10 standard incandescent bulbs, and lasts up to 12,000 life hours. The 26 Watt Quad Tube Plug-In 4-Pin CFL Lamp features an instant start, flicker free bulb and is ideal for wall scones, bathroom fixtures, under cabinet, ceiling and agriculture.
This product is also available in 26 Watt Quad Tube Plug-In 4-Pin CFL Lamp - Soft White and 26 Watt Quad Tube Plug-In 4-Pin CFL Lamp - Medium White.
What is a CFL?
A compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) is a type of fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent bulb. CFLs are the most energy efficient lighting available. Like other energy-efficient products, high quality CFLs bear the Energy Star symbol, demonstrating to consumers they are among the most energy-efficient on the market. Energy Star-approved CFLs, such as those produced by Greenlite, must meet numerous requirements that include: using at least two-thirds less energy than standard incandescent while providing the same amount of light; lasting 10 times longer than incandescent; saving $30 or more in energy costs over a bulb's lifetime; and generating less heat than incandescent bulbs.
CFLs Environmental and Economic Benefits
Regular incandescent bulbs waste energy: 90 percent of their energy is used to produce heat, not light. CFLs save energy and help lower electricity costs because they use 75 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs, thereby requiring only one-quarter of the energy consumed by incandescent. For example, a 13-watt CFL produces the same light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb, saving about 45 watts each hour it is lit.
Estimates show that if every person replaced just one incandescent bulb with an Energy Star CFL, greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by about 400,000 tonnes each year - the equivalent of taking 70,000 cars off the road each year.
The average home has about 30 light fixtures that consume about $200 in electricity costs each year. If just five incandescent bulbs using three hours of light each day were replaced with Energy Star-approved CFL light bulbs, a homeowner could save $30 each year.
CFLs help to save the environment in other ways too. Because Energy Star CFLs are required to last 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs, fewer bulbs and packaging are sent to landfill sites. And using less energy and fewer bulbs reduces emissions from power plants and helps protect the environment from the risk of global climate change.
CFLs and Mercury
CFLs are perfectly safe to use in homes. Each bulb contains a very small amount of mercury -- an average of three milligrams - about the same amount it would take to cover the tip of a ballpoint pen. The mercury dissipates when the bulb burns out, leaving no harmful toxins. There is no health risk if a bulb breaks because the amount of mercury is minute and in vapor form so it dissipates immediately leaving no harmful toxins. As Energy Star states, when a CFL breaks there is more harm from broken glass than mercury. Currently, using mercury in the manufacturing of the bulbs is necessary because there is no other substance that can replace the efficiency properties of mercury to produce fluorescent light. However, in recent years the mercury content has been drastically reduced and research is underway to develop bulbs that use even less mercury.
Safe Disposal of CFLs
Ideally, CFLs should be recycled. Many municipalities accept CFLs that are placed in plastic bags in the blue recycling box. However, regulations on proper disposal of CFLs differ by province. Check with their local municipalities to inquire about disposal programs and regulations in their area.

Suspect in stolen manhole cover case caught | Weird
Haines City, Florida - Deputies say a 40-year-old Haines City man has been busted for stealing dozens of manhole covers.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office says Christopher Fink stole 166 manhole covers from Village 7 in Poinciana. The estimated value of the theft is more than $21,000.
The Toho Water Authority reported the steel covers missing on Wednesday, Jan. 23. The covers were stolen sometime between January 9 and January 23.
Through their investigation, detectives learned Fink was responsible for stealing the manhole covers and then attempting to scrap them at area secondhand metal dealers.
Shortly after putting out an alert on Fink Thursday, deputies were able to take him into custody and say he'll be booked into jail after questioning.

Description of Research
The Weiser lab investigates the molecular basis of host-pathogen interaction for bacteria that reside in and infect the human respiratory tract. Most studies focus on the pathogenesis of Streptococcus pneumoniae because of its prominence as a cause of acute respiratory tract infection. Other pathogens under investigation in the laboratory include Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and influenza. Many projects focus on colonization of the mucosal surface of the upper airway, the initial step in the disease process. Both host and bacterial factors affecting colonization are under investigation. In general these studies utilize bacterial genetics to examine effects of specific microbial genes together with mouse models of colonization that allow for the use of genetically-modified hosts.
On-going projects examine:
How colonizing microbes stimulate and evade innate and adaptive immune clearance mechanisms.
Mechanisms that facilitate interspecies competition within a host.
Mechanisms of competition between co-colonizing pneumococci.
Effects of influenza co-infection on bacterial colonization.
Pneumococcal interactions with neutrophils/macrophages and mechanisms to evade killing by professional phagocytes.
The role of phosphorycholine, a surface constituent of many respiratory tract pathogens, in pathogenesis.
Host and bacterial factors affecting host to host transmission.
Rotation Projects for 2014-15
There are many possible projects in areas of bacterial genetics, host-pathogen interaction, and host immune response. Please contact Dr. Weiser directly.

Father's Day is one of the most special days of the year and celebrating dad at The Public House by Evans Brewing Co. will make for a fabulous day. After one visit to the Public House you will quickly realize that this beautiful setting makes every visit and everyday special.
Evans Brewing Co. can brew up some fabulous beer; there is no question about that, but they don't stop there. The Public House showcases the many flavors of Evans, but they also put together some mean cocktails and create some of the best bar food you will ever taste. Using the term "bar food" does not do the food justice, if you just want to come in for lunch or dinner and forget about the beer you will leave more than satisfied.
The Public House really is everything to everyone. They manage to get it all right but when it comes to the beer, you can view this as one iconic tasting room. There are so many beers on tap that you are going to have to make a return visit or buy a few of the extremely cool bottles that Evans beer comes in. The flagship beer of Evans Brewing co. would have to bee the Pollen Nation. This honey blonde ale is light and refreshing with just a hint of sweetness with the addition of the locally sourced orange blossom honey. This beer is perfect to drink on the back patio of The Public House while enjoying a sunny Southern California afternoon.
"Stout at the Devil" is a Russian Imperial Stout that goes far beyond the typical stout with a singular note, this beer created by Kevin Hammonds, Director of Brewing at Evans, brings together five malts, with hints of chocolate, coffee and dark fruit. While giving that rich stout flavor and 9% alcohol, it is one of those special beers that transcend that wide assortment of flavors as it crosses your taste buds. Evans also did a little twist to this stout and created "Orange & Chocolate Stout at the Devil" by adding orange zest and cacao nibs. The orange and chocolate complement each other beautifully in this beer and as the case with every Evans beer, they give you great flavors without being overbearing. Finally the Chocolatte (Nitro) is a true delicacy, a chocolate porter with cacao nibs and coffee, this beer is rich and creamy and so smooth to drink, a truly addicting beer. Evans has a wide range of beers and you can't go wrong with any of them, but if you love stouts, you will be in heaven here.
The Public House got creative with their mixology program, taking advantage of their beers to create some fantastic beer cocktails in addition to wide-ranging cocktail menu that takes you from classic, to seasonal and anywhere in between. The "Dandy Shandy" is a well balanced cocktail that centers around the Pollen Nation beer and combines it with Aylesbury Vodka then gives it a fruity flavor with muddled berries and lemon juice. Looking to the classics, not only do they do an Old Fashioned, they love the cocktail so much they decided to do five of them. You have to start off with the perfect crafted classic "Wisconsin Old Fashioned". Made in a very old school manner, this version is just smooth and as good as it gets. Then to give the classic a twist, The Public House has versions with; Mezcal, Gin, Rum and Buffalo Trace Bourbon. Whether it is a beer, a cocktail or a tasty combination of the two, this bar pours a great drink.
The food at The Public House comes out of a tiny kitchen that is located right next to the bar, but don't let appearances fool you. This tiny kitchen produces big flavors. Focusing on fresh and local ingredients, you are going to love everything that you try all the way down to the flavorful condiments.
The Evans Signature Pub Burger is as good as it gets when it comes to burger. This burger is a blended patty of ribeye and pastrami to give you a rich and elevated burger experience. Pair this with the Joaquin Dead red ale and you will be quite happy. Other favorites include; wild caught salmon, flat iron Black Angus steak that comes with a chimichurri sauce and you can choose from an assortment of brick oven flatbreads. And to give you even more beer flavor, there are always fresh sausages and bratwursts that are always changing based on the flavor of beer that they are infusing into the sausage. If you like a little heat with your burger, right now The Public House is serving the "Hot Mess". Not overly spicy, but you will feel the heat at the end and you are going to love the hamburger topped with a porter infused sausage and then finished off with siracha fried onions.
The success of The Public House has propelled Evans Brewing Co. to open a second location in Huntington Beach, which is expected to open in July of 2017. In addition, they have also launched a food truck named Burgers, Brats and Tater Tots (BB&TT).
Celebrate Father's Day on June 18th with a fabulous brunch for the entire family and The Public House will treat dad to a free Evans pint glass. There are plenty of reasons for dad or anyone else to come back often to The Public House. From live bands, djs, happy hour or creative beer nights michelada night that incorporated a number of great Evans beers into these tasty cocktails.
Fullerton might not be the first city you think of when you say beer, but Evans Brewing Co. is certainly doing their best to change it. While Southern California is home to some of the best breweries in the United States, you are going to be hard pressed to find one that brings all three ingredients together like The Public House. Beer, cocktails and food all simply done to perfect and you can add in a beautiful setting and just a great time and if that is what you are looking for, well then this is the place for you.

Take a little piece of her heart. There's a special tribute to iconic singer Janis Joplin at this year's Outside Lands.
The U.S. Postal Service will start selling Joplin stamps at the music festival, which starts Friday.
Many say Joplin paved the way for female rock singers in San Francisco.
The Forever stamp is inspired by Joplin's "In Concert" album cover, which was released two years after her death. The original portrait was shot in New York City in 1970 by music photographer David Gahr. The stamp is by designer Antonio Alcala.
A first-day-of-issue ceremony will be held at 1:30 p.m. Friday at the festival's Panhandle stage.
Outside Lands performers Kacey Musgraves and Nicki Bluhm will be at the ceremony with U.S. Postal Service officials and other dignitaries honoring Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Joplin.
Joplin's most popular songs include, "Piece of My Heart," "Ball and Chain," and "Cry Baby." She died from a drug overdose in 1970 at the young age of 27.

Earlier tonight I tried to get into the new Raid on the PTR to just go take a looksee. Lissanna from Restokin helped me out by logging in and helping me make a raid. We wandered into Ice Crown Citadel and I took a bunch of screenshots.
We even went up and tried the Ship fight.. But it kept crashing the server.. Well, at least dumping both of us out.. I kept getting logged out so we never got to try it again.. Matticus and Boize also logged in and joined us in the raid. After a few more crashes we decided to call it quits. So.. Below are the screenshots I took while I was there.. enjoy!
Oh.. one NPC was named Mott Sercer (I think there is a blizz employee named… Scott Mercer 😛 ).. And there is a Guy Alchemist Finklestein.. I think I have an alt named Finklestein.. I might have spelled it different tho.. Think there is a Finklestein at blizz too.. No?
Ok.. Sorry.. Screenshots, right? So.. Question for you all before I get there.. If you could have me write a guide? What would it be. Silly, Serious, etc. Whatever.. Let me know! Ok.. NOW the screenshots.
