Apparently this is a tough one. I have searched the internet high and low and nobody has this "hornet" photographed or described anywhere. Maybe you can help me:
First of all we get these things every single year and have as far back as I can remember. Because of this, I thought they were very common but nobody on the internet knows about them.
Location - I am in the greater Cincinnati area
Description - It is an extremely large and fat flying bee, larger than any insect I have ever seen. Honestly it is a little bit smaller than your average sized Hummingbird. It does not have a narrow part of its body like the wasps and hornets that you see usually. When I was a little kid I alway though it looked like the beek of Tucan Sam from Froot Loops. One time we caught one and it had a stinger 1" long (yes, one inch!)
Nest - GROUND, usually protected by a landscape stone or bush.
Behavior - Theses hornet are ULTRA aggressive. If you walk within 30 ft of their nest they will buzz you.|||That sounds like a european hornet. i get them around here too. they are extremely aggressive! and they are huge!|||try WWW.BUGGUIDE.NET You can post the pic on there and someone will be able to ID it with out a boubt.|||With the exception of agressive behavior, this sounds like a cicada killer. This is a really large wasp that lives in burrows in lawn areas. They get very big. Is this your culprit?:

Hope this helps.

It took a while, but this hornet has a 3/4" long stinger and is aggressive. Problem is......it's Japanese.

Serving size = 4oz. or ground beef 10% fat....?
well on this website it says 4 oz. is 1/2 a cup
http://www.ask.com/web?q=convert+4+ounce鈥?/a>
So if i take ground beek and put it in 1/2 measuring cup will it be a serving size which = 4 oz?
Some say No its by weight but some say yes?|||It depends on if you measure it before or after cooking. The best way to measure ingredients is to weigh them. If you are getting serving sizes for weight management then a measuring cup is accurate enough.|||It's by weight, not by cup. So if your package is 2.24 lbs, there is 16 oz. in a pound. So that should be 36 ounces, 16oz. x 2 lbs + (1/4 lb which is 4 ozs [1/4 of 16 oz= 4oz]) which equals 36 ounces.
So if you portion it into 9 equal looking pieces, you should have 4 oz portions. When you measure for a diet, it's the weight before cooking that counts, not after.
Hope that helps.

What was the song Morgan was dancing to at the bar in Criminal Minds epi "The Big Game"?
"The Big Game" was the episode guest starring James van der Beek. The whole BAU, with the exception of Gideon, was at the bar/pub. " Morgan dances as Garcia looks on from her table where she is sitting with Hotch and Haley. Prentiss walks by with drinks and warns Morgan the one in the back could take his wallet. He laughs and says in that case he will be a broke happy man. Haley asks Prentiss how they are treating her at the BAU, and she replies everyone is really nice, Hotchner and Haley go to the dance floor and Garcia excuses herself and goes to the ladies room, walking past JJ who is playing darts 鈥?and winning." The song is a popular one ... it's on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't remember it. I would really appreciate it if anyone can put me out of my misery. It's driving me nuts!|||"Push It" by Rick Ross
It's on the album "Port of Miami"

Game to play with a 6 month old... to entertain me too?
lol.
I love playing with my 6 month old son, but a grown up can only play "beek-a-boo" for so long
Just curious as games you play with your son that are fun for you too (like his reactions are funny and entertaining or whatever)
Thanks|||can he sit up on his own yet.
i started rolling a ball to my son at that age. it wasnt long before he knew how to roll it back.
you could also hide toys under blankets, its funny watching then try to work out where it went.
buy some of those hard cardboard books, my son loves seeing the pictures and when i make farm yard animal noises :)
my son also loves shadow puppets, get a torch and make shadow birds with your fingers :)
cant think of anything else just yet xxx|||The most recent one I have been doing with my 6 month old is (if he is doing some kind of commando shuffle on the floor) take one of his toys and sit a little ways from him and try and make him crawl to you to grab the toy.
I find it fun and cute.

Question about James Franklin and Ian Butler's selection.?
They did nothing special this series to secure their place.
Though they were in squad.
Does anyone know why?
Other question is what was Van Beek doing on field yesterday?|||A mystery to me. I don't think either of them should have even been playing in the series. Watling should have been in the side ahead of Franklin, and they should also have selected Nathan McCullum in the XI instead of Butler. Franklin has done nothing special in international cricket since he came back from that long injury layoff. All he's done is one matchwinning knock in a T20 world cup warmup match. And the same could be said for Butler, he's done nothing for NZ over the last few years.
Logan van Beek was the 13th man. Obviously a susbstitute fielder was required to take the place of Frankin with that heel injury he had. And Nathan McCullum, who was the designated 12th man, had some sort of twinge from warmups as well so he couldn't sub-field.
Often in both tests and ODIs, when a sub fielder is required and the 12th man is unavailable, in home matches, a local player who plays for the province hosting the match (in this case Canterbury) gets the chance to do some substitute fielding. And they normally opt for the younger ones where possible.|||NZ cricket isn't exactly awash with talent. I would say they're playing it safe with 2 experienced bowlers who've been in decent form in the domestic competition, they're probably in the squad as a backup and to pass on their experience of the pressure of international tests to the debutants.|||experimenting

Why did my gf get mad at this thing I said.?
My gf and I were together. She has a pet bird she really likes. I was with her and she was taking care of her sick bird, Peaches. She was trying to stick a thermometer in the birds beek. She said "Whats a birds temp supposed to be." I then said. "Candace, I think a bird turns out nicely at 275." She gave me this really evil squinty look.
Why was she mad.|||Candace needs to learn to appreciate a quick wit like yours. Just explain to her that birds are cold blooded so it doesn't really matter and you were just trying to make lite of the matter since it's irrelevant anyway. Note, birds aren't really cold blooded but are rather warm blooded and would be between 99 and 110 degrees F.
Although you quick wit only earns you a B. To have gotten an A, you should have told her that she'd get a better reading if she were to stick the thermometer up the bird's poop shoot instead. While getting in a bit of humor with that comment, you'd be perceived as being more helpful in the matter.|||Well, she's genuinely concerned for her bird who is sick. And joking about it being dead and cooked isn't what she would want to hear.
She won't be mad for long.
But next time be a little more sensitive to her feelings.
