Canine Play, Play, PLAY with Dr. Patricia McConnell!
On Thursday, August 16, at 6:30pm, don't miss the opportunity to join Patricia McConnell at HAWS for an evening talk on Canine Play! Play! Play!
Play is fun, but don't be fooled into thinking it's just goofy or frivolous! Play is powerful stuff, and it has a profound influence on your relationship with your dog. Learn how play can enhance your relationship with your dog, improve your dog's responsiveness and provide your dog with the mental and physical exercise they need. We'll talk about up-to-date research on how to tell your dog you want to play (most of us aren't very good at it!), some charming tricks and games to wow your friends, and most importantly, how NOT to play with your dog. If you'd like a happier, more responsive dog and a closer relationship with each other, then this talk is for you.
The registration fee is $40.00. Pre-registration is required and is available online or by contacting Khris Erickson, HAWS' Humane Educator, at 262-542-8851, x118.
Patricia McConnell, PhD, a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist, (CAAB) has made a lifelong commitment to improving the relationship between people and animals. She is known worldwide as an expert on canine and feline behavior and dog training, and for her engaging and knowledgeable dog training books, DVDs and seminars. For 14 years she dispensed advice about behavior problems, and information about animal behavior research, on Wisconsin Public Radio's Calling All Pets, which was heard in over 110 cities around the country. Dr. McConnell has presented seminars all over the United States and in Canada, Germany, Australia, Sweden, Belgium, Scotland and New Zealand.
Books and DVDs will be available for purchase, and Dr. McConnell will sign books after her talk! Please join us!
By the way - If you haven't already, check out HAWS' awesome August happenings! An "Essential Oils" seminar is on the 17th, our Pet Fair and Ride for Rover "merge" on the 18th, Puppy Parties happen every Sunday evening...and our Mobile Adoption Center is all over, bringing happy tails to you!

Frederick Forsyth is a master of the international crime and espionage genre. The English novelist burst upon the scene in 1971 with his iconic and defining work, The Day of the Jackal, and followed it up with best-selling blockbusters like The Odessa File, The Dogs of War, Icon, the The Fist of God, and several others. All of these works are fictionalized dramatizations of very real global issues or events. As tremendous as his novels are, in my view, his finest work is found in his shorter stories and novelettes, with tales like The Emperor and Whispering Wind remaining on my perpetual "re-read" list.
Governor Thompson for US Senate
My endorsement for the US Senate primary election goes to Governor Tommy Thompson over the other Republican primary candidates.
As Governor Mr. Thompson served both his political party and the state well enough to be re-elected each time he ran.
Mark Neumann for U.S. Senate
Ok, a disclaimer. This is the first time I've tried to upload a photo with a post, and I have no idea where the darn thing is going to land! So to start, I want to make sure all of you know of the internet "Hey Girl" meme (rhymes with seem) that's out there for Paul Ryan. What a way to put a laugh into a day!

Aug. 14, 2012 Primary picks--it's still Eric Hovde, Rob Hutton, plus others
Listed below are my picks for the major races on today's Partisan Primary Ballot for the southern half of Brookfield. You can find your sample ballot, voting place, and status by filling out your information here, then click on your name, and then click on the View sample ballot link toward the bottom of the next page.
Since this is a partisan primary, a party preference must be declared. Crossover voting will not be allowed.
First race on the ballot and on everyone's mind is the US Senate race, so I will start there.
US SENATOR - REPUBLICAN - Eric Hovde
A month ago, I was pretty sure I was voting for Eric Hovde for U.S. Senate. Now it is the big day, and Eric Hovde still has my vote. If you still are undecided, the following is for your consideration. Not only is he the most likable of the 4 men running, I believe he is the best equipped to do the job in the US Senate and deal with the difficulties our nation faces. His strong business bent will compliment the Romney / Ryan ticket well.
A few days ago, I heard the first airing of Wisconsin State Senators Leah Vukmir and Glenn Grothman's radio ad endorsing Eric Hovde for U.S. Senate. I knew Vukmir was backing Hovde for months; Glenn Grothman's support was news to me. Since I consider Leah Vukmir and Glenn Grothman 2 of Wisconsin's leading conservative Senators in Madison, I value their opinions. Here is their radio ad:
Grothman also stated: "'I have gotten to know Eric Hovde quite a bit during the past eight months... His knowledge of the issues is amazing. His interest in small community banks gives him a special understanding of some of the bailouts of reckless and well-connected institutions. It also gives him knowledge of our monetary system that is probably unmatched in Congress. Simply put, we need Eric Hovde,' "
Vukmir and Hovde also made this ad. Listen as did State Senator Frank Lasee.
We need people who are well versed in banking and business practices in Washington. For example, Hovde has been criticized for not signing Grover Norquist's anti-tax "'Taxpayer Protection Pledge' which commits candidates to opposing any legislation that would result in any type of tax increase." The other 3 candidates have signed it. But when Hovde explained his reasons for not doing so, I realized just how complex this issue is and how right he was to reject it.
Here is Hovde's explanation to Green Bay conservative talk show host Jerry Bader:
"...Norquist's pledge simply protects the status quo, in which politically connected corporations carve out giant loopholes in the tax code. When anybody attempts to close those loopholes, Norquist brands them as 'tax hikers.' "
"Behind the story with Grover Norquist is he's funded by giant corporations that have created loopholes in our tax system,' said Hovde. 'We need to lower the rates, but we also have to get rid of the corporate welfare. How is a small business going to compete if they're trying to compete against General Electric, that in some years, pays nothing because they can buy off Washington politicians?' "
The thing that really made me shake my head in disgust was when Hovde cited this example: "...last year... Senate Republicans pushed to eliminate $6 billion in ethanol tax credits. ...but Norquist insisted that eliminating any type of tax credit amounted to a tax increase and thus opposed the measure."
WISN's Jay Weber interviewed Eric Hovde on his radio show last week. The interview was about 15 minutes long. Listen I think it will help voters gain a better sense of who Eric Hovde is, what he stands for, and how he is best suited for the job.
So by this time tomorrow, we should know who our candidate is for the November election against liberal Tammy Baldwin. The good news is that any one of the 4 Republicans running will be vastly better than Baldwin and than our current Senator Herb Kohl. But I hope Wisconsin doesn't just settle for the better when they could have the best.

Past Post: For me, it's Hovde, Fitzgerald, Neumann, Thompson, in that order
CONGRESSIONAL - DISTRICT 5 - REPUBLICAN - F. James Sensenbrenner Jr.
Jim Sensenbrenner is running unopposed, but he still gets my support!
ASSEMBLY - DISTRICT 13 - REPUBLICAN - Rob Hutton
This is an open seat due to redistricting. The district now includes southern Brookfield, Elm Grove, Wauwatosa, West Allis and Milwaukee. In Brookfield, it combined the southern half of the former 98th and former 14th Districts..
As I wrote before, I was not too pleased when I was redistricted out of the 14th Assembly District, because that meant I lost my Rep. Dale Kooyenga. But Conservative Rob Hutton seems to be a very worthy replacement. He is in fact endorsed by Representative Kooyenga, as well as former State Senator Ted Kanavas. And like Dale Kooyenga, Hutton is getting to know the residents in this newly drawn district by going door to door. Hutton has visited over 7,000 homes, because he believes that "The times we live in are difficult and people are weary of negative television and radio ads [and repetitive Robo-calls]. Physically talking to people and really listening to what are their top-of-mind issues brings our whole system into perspective."
For constituents who live outside of Brookfield and don't know much about Hutton's more prominent opponent, Tom Schellinger, let me just say he is Brookfield's perennial candidate, often running for multiple races--sometimes 3 at a time! In 2005, his antics captured the attention of Journal Sentinel columnist Laurel Walker. She poked fun at his efforts in a piece titled, If at first you don't succeed, run again. She referred to Schellinger as "Waukesha County's own Harold Stassen."
Things haven't changed over the years. This year he ran unopposed for Waukesha County Supervisor and Brookfield Alderman. Though there was little chance he would regain his twice lost Alderman seat, I believed if he won, the dual role would be a conflict of interest. So I wrote: Conflict of interest? Schellinger for County Supervisor & Brookfield
I believe being my County Supervisor AND Wisconsin Assembly Representative would also create a conflict of interest. Plus, what kind of person would run unopposed for County Supervisor, knowing he would win that race, and run for Alderman in that same spring election, while planning all along to also run for the Wisconsin Assembly?
Then there is the issue of his campaign style: Schellinger sinks to new low with misleading campaign literature (Includes many links to past posts)
But conflict of interest and misleading campaign literature aside, just what kind of Assembly Representative would Schellinger make? Perhaps his failed 2010 bid for Mayor of Brookfield might give you some insights. (He again was running for multiple races that year.) The Candidate Forum consisted of the 4 men in the race and questions were put to each one. I remember it became almost laughable when Schellinger answered many times that his idea, his solution to whatever the question was to study the issue.
For example, when the question was whether a high speed rail stop in Brookfield would have a positive or negative impact on our city, he answered, "'I think this is going to be a very interesting debate for the community.' He says he'd like to appoint a task force with voices from across the community to look at the positives and negatives.'" He couldn't give his opinion. Knowing what our Republican legislators went through in Madison this past term, the death threats, the occupation, the tension, I cannot imagine Schellinger being a good fit for the task.

ASSEMBLY - DISTRICT 14 - REPUBLICAN - Dale Kooyenga
Dale Kooyenga was my former representative in Madison prior to the recent redistricting. He represents northern Brookfield and Wauwautosa
Past Post: Sept. 7, 2010 "I have decided on Dale Kooyenga. Rarely have I ever seen a candidate campaign as energetically and effectively as Kooyenga has, which hopefully will translate into how hard he will work for us in Madison! It isn't just his energy though, it is his platform and endorsements that resonate with me..."

ASSEMBLY - DISTRICT 22 - REPUBLICAN - Don Pridemore
Don Pridmore is a solid conservative: pro-life, pro-family, fiscally responsible and stood with Gov. Walker during the Act 10 ordeal. He represents the Menomonee Falls/Lisbon/Richfield area. Pridemore is endorsed by the Menomonee Falls Taxpayer Association MFTax.org

There are a number of other races on the ballot unopposed. With little exception, I usually leave them blank unless I know who they are and support their candidacy.
I am curious what voter turnout will be compared to our spring primary. Polls close at 8pm., we will know soon after that.
Sorry for the delay in posting this, I had trouble logging in!

Fall Internship Opportunity with the Elmbrook Education Foundation
The Foundation is committed to helping Elmbrook students with their post-secondary education. In addition to the EEF's community wide scholarship program, we offer an internship program to provide professional work experience to assist graduates in finding future employment. Many technical schools and universities provide credit for internships but require that the student find the internship opportunity on their own.
If you know of an Elmbrook alumnus attending school locally who would benefit from this opportunity, please let them know! Additional information about the internship can be found on the volunteer page of the EEF website. Those who are interested in exploring an internship opportunity with the EEF, should email a cover letter and resume to the EEF at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will be placing 1-2 fall interns (September – January) and 1-2 winter/spring interns (February-May). Those not attending school locally but interested in a summer internship in 2013 should contact the Foundation in May of 2013 to see if there is an opening.

Another roundabout slated for Brookfield Road and North Ave.
Stupid blog software. Once again I had a post written that poof! Disappeared.
1) Public Works, to my surprise, wants the Council to recommend a roundabout to the County for Brookfield Road and North Avenue. There was one vote against, but I can't tell you who because the minutes aren't available online.
Great 1st week for Romney / Ryan ticket
What a great first week Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan had.* In fact, I would say, adding Paul Ryan to the ticket has reset the Romney campaign: Picking Paul Ryan as VP has removed all doubts about Mitt Romney's resolve to scale back big government and cut our out of control debt.
It is clear Romney and Ryan don't want to get into the gutter of negative campaigning, rather, they just want to talk about the real issues threatening America's future: jobs, the economy, entitlements, etc.
It is exciting to see Americans responding to their message in such a positive way. I saw this excitement for myself at the Romney / Ryan rally at the Waukesha Expo last Sunday. True, this was in the heart of Republican Waukesha County, but not everyone of the 12,000+ was from Waukesha. I heard some in line talking about how they came from Wausau, Racine, and West Bend.
The place was packed. I was close enough to catch a glimpse of the candidates, and it was plain to see Mitt Romney truly admires Paul Ryan. I can only compare it to maybe a father proudly looking at his son.
The Ryan pick has boosted a cautiously hopeful Romney campaign to one that Republicans and Independents can be energized about. I saw a little bit of that energy even on election eve 4 years ago. Excerpts from It made me feel better: Palin 2012 Ryan, a past post will explain:
"On election eve, I quickly made this campaign button to illustrate my hopes for the 2012 ticket. I wore it to the Waukesha Republican Victory Party.
"Barely there 2 minutes, a few women from the Waukesha Republican Party and I started talking. ...Then they spotted my button, and their eyes lit up. Where did you get that? I said I made it. They definitely liked the idea. These ladies were not alone. In the course of the evening, my humble button received enthusiastic support.
"I know many blame Governor Sarah Palin for McCain's loss on Tuesday. But that sentiment shows how little those naysayers understand conservatives. It was very clear to me that fellow volunteers at the phone bank were there only because of Sarah, not McCain. Same with rally attendees.
"As Senator John McCain gave his concession speech that night, he took the full blame for his failure to win. Amongst the Waukesha Republican faithful watching on the big screen, there was no murmur in the audience to the contrary. When McCain thanked Governor Palin, the audience cheered. You would think BBC reporter Ali Reed was there in the room with us. ...he reported the same reaction:
'The sombre air at Senator John McCain's concession speech was momentarily pierced by cheer as Mr McCain spoke about Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.'
"The Wall Street Journal would like to see Congressman Paul Ryan become the House Minority Leader. (Ryan is not interested.) But they see Paul Ryan as many of us do, a rising star on the Republican horizon. Ryan for the Republicans, The party needs an economic spokesman:
'... the Republican Party faces a choice. It can put the loss down to the country's fatigue with the Bush Administration and the bad luck of running amid a financial panic and shrug it off. Or it can choose a new direction, with new leadership, and retake the high ground it once occupied, especially on the economy.
...Mr. Ryan's economic knowledge and youthful energy make him the best choice [for Minority Leader] to pull his party in a more promising direction.'

Charlie is a well-mannered dog by ANY standards, and would work well in many households. He's lovable and loving.
Charlie says:
"Just look at my face!!! I am Charlie and if you are looking for the 'perfect pit'...I am it! Somehow I managed to wind up here at HAWS. Don't get me wrong, it's GREAT here, but I am a family dog and deserve the best family ever. Please read up on my breed and remember lots of people don't get that Pits can be sweet and calm....and that's totally me! I am good with cats and other dogs and kids are fine, but not ones that are too small. (I am strong and can knock the little ones over.) Stop in and see me - I am just the BEST!

Elm Grove's new Culver's restaurant is conducting interviews at their new location on Bluemound Road this Saturday, Aug. 25, 2012, from noon to 4pm. Or as Culver's would say, "Come join our True Blue Crew as a Team Member!"
If the major road construction on Bluemound Road, just east of Pilgrim Road and westward, has kept you from the area, you might not have realized a Culver's sprang up from the rubble of the razed UNO's restaurant this summer.
It has been fun to watch the building progress. I snapped the above picture on Aug. 9th; they are now working on finishing the exterior.
The new Culver's is on the northeast corner of Pilgrim and Bluemound, just east of Baker's Square. (Brookfield Square is on the opposite southwest corner.)

NSHE Millennium Scholarship
In 1999, the Governor Guinn Millennium Scholarship was enacted into law by the Nevada Legislature. This legislation (NRS396.911) created the Governor Guinn Millennium Scholarship trust fund to be administered by the state treasurer. In October of the same year, the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) adopted policy guidelines for the administration of the scholarship. The purpose of these scholarships is to reward excellence in academic achievement and encourage more high school graduates to attend college.

Recent experiments done by a team of physicists
at the Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) facility at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (see photo) indicate that the theory of quantum
electrodynamics (QED) seen as a cornerstone of modern physics,
explaining the behavior of electrons orbiting atomic nuclei may
require reformulation. Ironically, the term
"QED" (from the Latin quod erat demonstrandum, "which
was to be demonstrated") is typically used to signal that
a mathematical proof is complete; in this case, it seems further
proof is required.
The experiments were conducted at NIST using
wavelength dispersive spectroscopy from the University of Melbourne
to obtain precision diffraction profiles of highly charged atoms.
The tests indicate that QED theory as currently formulated may not
provide a complete picture of reality. According to a paper
published in Physical Review
Letters, the team from NIST (Gaithersburg, MD), Australian
Synchrotron and The University of Melbourne, (Australia), and the
University of Debrecen (Hungary) measured the strongest resonant
transition in helium-like titanium (Ti20+).
NIST physicist John Gillaspy, a member of the
research team, explains: "If 20 of titanium's
22 electrons are removed, it becomes a highly charged ion that
looks in many ways like a helium atom that has been shrunk to a
tenth its original size. Ironically, in this unusual state, the
effects of QED are magnified, so we can explore them in more
QED predicts that when an electron orbiting the
nucleus collides with a passing particle, the electron gains energy
and moves to a higher energy state, then decays back to its
original state, emitting a photon of a characteristic frequency
(color). The NIST team found that when electrons in Ti20+ are
excited in this fashion, the ion gives off photons that are
noticeably different in color than QED predicts.
Gillaspy hopes the team's finding will
stimulate others to measure the emitted photons with even greater
accuracy. Currently, the NIST team is preparing to release the
results of measurements of other colors of light emitted from the
exotic atoms that bolster the initial findings. For further
information, contact John Gillaspy at 301-975-3236, or e-mail

Probation was reinstated Tuesday for a 68-year-old Johnson Lane man who admitted drinking alcohol in violation of his sentence for attempted assault with a deadly weapon.
William Calebaugh had an alcohol content of .210 - nearly three times the legal limit - when he was arrested Sept. 24 after a witness reported a drunk driver leaving the Johnson Lane General Store.
Calebaugh was sentenced in February 2011 to 12-32 months in prison, suspended, and ordered to surrender his $100,000 gun collection for going on a two-day alcohol binge and shooting up his house in September 2010.

JBoss 6 + Snowdrop 2: order of JPA & Spring deployersMarcus Ilgner Apr 8, 2011 6:34 AM
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to run an application in JBoss AS 6 which contains both a persistence.xml which I would like to be started by JBoss, then afterwards a Spring application context is initialized which uses the previously defined persistence unit.
This worked fine in JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA using Snowdrop Spring Deployer from Snowdrop 1.1.0. But when I try to run it in JBoss AS 6.0.0.Final, the spring.deployer runs before the EJB/JPA deployer, resulting in an error because my Spring application cannot find the EntityManagerFactory.
Is there a way to change the order the deployers are started? I found one subject mentioning that there should be some "-service.xml" for the Spring deployer where one could supposedly use some kind of setRelativeOrder statement to influence the deployer chain but as that was referring to JBoss AS 4, I guess it is probably outdated anyway.
All the best
1. JBoss 6 + Snowdrop 2: order of JPA & Spring deployersMarius Bogoevici Apr 8, 2011 5:28 PM (in response to Marcus Ilgner)
Hi Marcus,
The file you are asking for is $JBOSS_HOME/server/$PROFILE/deployers/spring.deployer/META-INF/spring-deployers-jboss-beans.xml .
(or spring.deployer/META-INF/spring-deployers-jboss-beans.xml in the distribution).
You can set the relativeOrder property on the ApplicationContextDeployer bean - lower values have higher precedence.
2. JBoss 6 + Snowdrop 2: order of JPA & Spring deployersMarcus Ilgner Apr 11, 2011 5:12 AM (in response to Marius Bogoevici)
Hi Marius,
thank you very much for the tip. But even if I modify the file to read
<bean name="ApplicationContextDeployer" class="org.jboss.spring.deployers.ApplicationContextDeployer">
<property name="relativeOrder">2147483647</property>
It still starts before the PersistenceUnit deployment. If I comment this bean, JPA starts as expected. I'm not sure if BeanFactoryDeployer could help me but uncommenting it doesn't seem to do anything.
Are there any other dependency mechanisms that could block PU deployment from running?
Best regards
3. Re: JBoss 6 + Snowdrop 2: order of JPA & Spring deployersJames Fluckiger Jul 26, 2011 3:00 PM (in response to Marcus Ilgner)
I am encountering the same problem now -- an application that uses JPA and Spring works in JBoss 5.1, but fails to load under JBoss 6.0.0. Under 5.1, the first thing that happens when the app deploys is the loading of the Perssitence unit from persistence.xml
In JBoss 6.0, on the other hand, the application context loads first, and this fails because it depends on the persistence unit.
I tried the "relativeOrder" modification, as illustrated by Marcus in this thread, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
Is there any more information on this issue?
4. Re: JBoss 6 + Snowdrop 2: order of JPA & Spring deployersMarcus Ilgner Jul 27, 2011 2:58 AM (in response to James Fluckiger)
Well, I haven't spend time on application server integration lately, as my application is neither a web-app nor so complex that it doesn't work with a standalone application context...
And while I couldn't get it to work on JBoss AS 6, I'm wondering if maybe JBoss AS 7 would be an option for you? Marius' latest blog post suggests that Spring applications work very well on it.
All the best

This week I was in our Nottingham office to help deliver some internal training. One of the subjects of the training course was setting up transient analysis in FloTHERM. The example model we used was a detailed model of a TO220 on a PCB in free air. We set the heat source in the die to pulse on for 50ms, off for 50ms and repeat for 1s total. The idea was to show how a transient model can be set up, things to look out for, solver settings pertinent to transient analysis in free convection and how to post process those results afterward. With a mini competition for the best looking animation that the trainees could come up with. Note: Simple often works better, trying to be too clever and do too much normally means that your processor and/or graphics card just can't keep up!
Anyway whilst showing the post processing we noticed a cool bit of physics going on. Now the TO220 model we had has 7 leads, but only 1 was directly connected to the die, the other 6 were connected to the encapsulant.
When the die first powered on, the heat traveled through the die to the die flag and out to the top signal layer of the board, it also traveled from the die to the centre lead.
Heat was able to pass along the signal layer and back up into the base of the lead for a short time
until the heat traveling down the lead finally caught up and overrode it.
Now in the centre lead this took a very short time, however in the outer leads, heat was still traveling in the opposite direction up the leads at the end of 1s.
So what does this teach us – mainly that conduction paths may not be as simple as they first appear. But also that FloTHERM is a great tool for finding out what exactly is going on with your thermal design – sweet!
Just to finish off, here's an animation of the whole analysis. See how the die cools down in the "off" cycle while the heat still spreads throughout the rest of the model.

Myakka River has much more than alligators while Oscar Scherer State Park has much more than Florida Scrub Jays!
Oscar Scherer may not be as well-known and recognized as Myakka River State Park, but this plot of natural Florida spanning more than 2 square miles offers something for every visitor.
The park offers miles of trails and creeks leading to Lake Osprey. Explore the parks more than 15 eco-recreation activities including swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, camping, hiking, biking and camping. Pets are allowed in the park's campground and visitor recreation areas, so long as they are kept on a six-foot leash at all times.
The scrubby flatwoods of Oscar Scherer state park are well known as a pristine habitat for Florida scrub jays, a threatened species of birds found only in Florida. The park is excellent for bird watching and other wildlife viewing, which includes bobcats, bald eagles, gopher tortoises, white-tailed deer, eastern cottontail rabbits, American alligators and more. While appreciating the wildlife, please remember not to harm, harass or feed animals of any kind.
One will find events nearly every weekend, including concerts, festivals and tram tours taking visitors through the park with knowledgeable park rangers. Another fun regular event is the guided night paddle undefined a gentle water-tour guided by park staff through the fragile estuarine mangrove habitat of South Creek.
During some resource management work in 1986, shell scatter sites were discovered in the southern portions of the park. These sites were the remains of campsites used by Native Americans who paddled up South Creek to hunt in the woods.
In the early 20th century, turpentine processing was an economic activity in the area. When turpentine processing ceased around 1925, the Burrows family used the land for ranching and farming.
Elsa Scherer Burrows left the family's 460-acre South Creek Ranch to the state in memory of her father, Oscar Scherer, who invented the process for dyeing shoe leather. In 1956, the park was open to the public.
Oscar Scherer has a very active community of volunteers who publish informational material, lead bird walks and nature strolls, present outreach program, maintain and improve hiking trails and campsites and much more. Last year alone, the friends of Oscar Scherer Park volunteered more than 26,000 hours of service to the park.
One of Florida's oldest and most diverse state parks lies on the eastern edge of Sarasota County, just a short drive from the area's scenic beaches. Myakka River State Park, named for the Myakka River-- the state's only "Florida Wild and Scenic River," is the ideal place to commune with nature. Nearly 57 square miles of hiking, biking, bird-watching, camping and more await nature-lovers.
Wildlife, Canoeing and Airboat Rides
Birding aficionados often arrive at the cover of dawn to catch sightings of rare Florida birds co-mingling with lounging alligators. Visitors preferring to see wildlife from a comfortable distance can board Florida's only covered airboat for a narrated tour of the Upper Myakka Lake. Powered by air, the boat gently glides across the freshwater lake providing ample opportunities to spot alligators, birds and fish. Renting a canoe or kayak allows visitors to get up-close-and-personal views of wildlife, often just inches away from their vessel.
Discover unspoiled vistas of nature by boat. A boat launching area makes fishing the freshwaters in the park popular. Anglers can also cast a line from bridges and platforms or wade into the water's edge. Fish include gar, bass, sunfish and more.
Hiking and Biking
There is more to do out of water. Climb 25 feet high and trek across the canopy walk to discover a tranquil and sprawling view of the park or look for native plant species along the boardwalk stretching over the Upper Myakka Lake. Don shoes and hike nearly 40 miles of loop hiking trails of dry prairie land intermittent with a variety of native trees providing canopies of shade. Discover seven miles of paved trails on two wheels with affordable bicycle rentals.
Visitors are welcome for the day or can stay overnight. Three campgrounds offer 90 campsites ranging from primitive setups to wooden cabins for individuals, groups and families. All campsites are within close proximity to hot water and a variety of equipment is allowed.
The park hosts activities and events throughout the year. Popular are the Moon Concerts on the full moon each month and "Take a Walk on the Wild Side," guided tours.

Today is a sad day for the world of hip-hop. 1/3 of the one of the greatest (if not the greatest) hip-hop groups ever has passed. While the details on Adam MCA Yauchs death are scarce we think its safe to assume that his long battle with cancer is the culprit.
What does this mean for music or hip-hop? Right now. It means nothing. MCA (with Mike D and King Ad Rock) fought for our right to party, and succeeded. While the group admittedly hated their most known song and refused to play it live, it was a game changer (much like everything else in the bands decade spanning career).
What started off as hardcore punk band between Adam and Mike Diamond (Mike D) eventually involved into one of the most influencial and important hip-hop groups ever (Only comparable to Run DMC and N.W.A.).

Very sad indeed. I thought he was getting better. Always loved the Beastie Boys. I believe I'll mark this occasion by posting my fave Beasties song

I worked at Neopost
Pros – International Company makes downturns in individual markets less likely to impact the overall company. Has considerable financial strength and a good reputation in the market, especially in Europe.
Cons – Serious lack of communication between business units. This often results in unit managers making decisions that benefit one unit but are detrimental to the rest of the company. Is old school with some senior employees unwilling to consider fresh approaches to the market.
Advice to Senior Management – Consider taking the best of Neopost (and now absorbed Hasler) and making a corporate culture that takes the lead away from Pitney Bowes rather than being satisfied with the crumbs from Pitney's table.

Weezing makes for a fantastic defensive Pokemon in UU, possessing useful resistances to Fighting, Grass, Poison, and Bug, an immunity to ubiquitous Ground-type attacks, and only a single uncommon weakness, all backed up by a sweet Defense stat. While his lacking Special Defense leaves him vulnerable to powerful STAB attacks from that end, he maintains the ability to switch in on a variety of threats and threaten them with his surprisingly large movepool. All in all, while Weezing may not be up to par with behemoths such as Skarmory or Hippowdon in OU, he has anchored himself as a top-tier wall down in the bright and ambitious little UU tier.
By focusing entirely on Weezing's lower Special Defense stat and trusting on his naturally high Defense to be sufficient without additional investment, Weezing becomes an effective check to a variety of attackers, both special and physical. In particular, this set is notoriously effective at checking the versatile Venusaur; from Swords Dance to specially-based variants. With the given EV spread, Weezing takes no more than 43.7% from Venusaur's Life Orb Leaf Storm, while Power Whip does even less and can be weakened further by burning Venusaur with Will-O-Wisp. With an immunity to Spikes and a neutrality to Stealth Rock, Weezing can switch in and out without taking any major residual damage, which really helps him in taking Venusaur's assaults. Weezing can also fend off other Grass-types, such as Sceptile, in the same manner.
Even with the touched-up EV spread, Weezing is no slouch physically, having enough physical bulk to comfortably keep threats such as Torterra, Hitmonlee, Hitmontop, and Donphan at bay. Will-O-Wisp also somewhat balances this "loss" of physical bulk, allowing Weezing to burn overzealous physical attackers attempting to exploit this set's lack of investment in Defense. Sludge Bomb is Weezing's main attacking option, as it has STAB and hits many Pokemon for solid, neutral damage. It also has decent synergy with Will-O-Wisp; Steel-types, immune to Sludge Bomb, will find themselves fainting from Will-O-Wisp in a matter of turns if they lack a recovery move. Rest and Sleep Talk keep Weezing healthy while ensuring that he is not helpless while he is asleep, preventing him from being beaten by Sleep Powder Venusaur.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This Weezing is almost the definition of a full-stop to physical attackers in UU; with full investment in his Defense, even a Swords Danced Kabutops's Life Orb-boosted Stone Edge won't be able to bring him down, not even after Stealth Rock! Flamethrower and Thunderbolt form the core of Weezing's attacking moves here, granting super effective coverage on a great many physical attackers. Will-O-Wisp and Haze enhance Weezing's walling capabilities further by permanently crippling his opponents or clearing away any stat boosts they may have acquired, respectively. With only one moveslot left, Pain Split is used as a means of recovering off any damage sustained.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
A Choice Specs set actually has a lot of potential with Weezing, thanks to his surprisingly large special movepool. However, while Poison is a great defensive type, it's pretty terrible as an offensive type, dealing super effective damage to only one other type, being resisted by four, and being completely useless against Steel-types. Rain Dance is another promising option; as a supporter, Weezing is able to deal with the Grass-types that usually trouble a Rain Dance team, and can use the rain to weaken the Fire-type attacks he himself usually fears. Sunny Day is a reverse case, making Fire-types even harder to deal with, but giving Weezing an effective STAB on Fire-type moves. Destiny Bond and Memento are useful sacrificial options on Weezing, but he's too slow to make effective use of them. Explosion is another sacrificial move that lets Weezing literally blast any Pokemon that doesn't resist it into oblivion, and is particularly helpful for disposing of Clefable and Chansey, but Weezing is usually better off supporting the team, and Pain Split will do a number on both of the pudgy Normal-types anyway. Weezing gets access to Shadow Ball and Dark Pulse, which can help him smack Psychic-types on the switch-in. Toxic is another fun status move, but many of Weezing's typical switch-ins don't particularly care about being poisoned. Finally, Black Sludge can be used over Leftovers to mess up Trick users. Conversely, it will also mean that the Trick user will have another weapon to use against your team. Going physical on Weezing, even with Curse, is never a good idea, as, to put it lightly, Weezing's physical movepool is mind-numbingly awful.
Checks and Counters
Houndoom is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, threat to Weezing, due to its Flash Fire ability. Houndoom can easily switch into Will-O-Wisp or one of Weezing's Fire-type attacks to activate Flash Fire, giving it the perfect opportunity to set up Nasty Plot and rip giant holes through the opponent's team with insanely powerful Fire Blast attacks. Any Fire-type can give Weezing trouble since they resist Fire-type attacks and are immune to Will-O-Wisp, but Houndoom remains on the top of the list. Any Pokemon with a decent Special Attack stat and access to a Psychic-type attack will always give Weezing a ton of trouble because of its low Special Defense. Chansey doesn't care if it switches into a Will-O-Wisp because of Natural Cure and can easily stall out Weezing or cripple it with Thunder Wave. Pain Split can become extremely annoying, though. RestTalkers will have fun switching into Weezing since they can cure burn status and give Weezing a ton of trouble to harm them. RestTalkers that pack a boosting move and decent Special Defense, like Poliwrath, are most effective. The only downside to using a RestTalker that packs a boosting move is if Weezing carries Haze.

When is a good time to start the process of getting baby to sleep without being rocked or held? Although she is only 2 months old now, I don't want to do it forever. :-)
I'd say as soon as you're ready is the best time to start. My daughter was always hard to get to sleep. I finally had to put her to bed and basically just let her cry it out. If I didn't then she would just go to sleep while I was holding her and then wake up when I laid her down. It's tough, but for some kids it's what you have to do. Good luck whenever you start the process!
This is a very personal and individual decision. Personally, I wouldn't even think about starting until around 6-9 months. Before then, a baby isn't really going to understand that you're still there if he needs you and is safe in his crib alone. They just are not developed enough to comprehend that because they can't see you, you didn't just cease to exist.
Many experts recommend at this age to rock or cuddle with your baby until he is drowsy enough to not have the energy to fight you when you put him down. He's learning to fall asleep on his own this way.
In my experience, this only goes so far, since when they hit that 6-9 month mark, they realize that they can get a reaction out of you if they cry. This is when they start testing limits and boundaries, which is why this is usually the age when parents begin to think about ways to get baby to fall asleep on his own.That said, some parents are perfectly happy to cuddle with their babies every night.
I'm kind of a mix, myself. I put my daughter (who is 2) down into her bed and dim the lights. While she puts herself to sleep, I lay on my bed reading. If I were to leave the room before she conks out, she'd flip out to the point where she'll make herself throw up. I really don't mind staying because it gives me some downtime.
But then there are also days that I let her curl up with me in my bed. Like this afternoon, she woke up less than an hour after she fell asleep for her nap. I offered to lay down with her in my bed and we both ended up napping for another two hours. I think it's all about what works best for you and your baby.
That is entirely up to you, but I would talk with the pediatrician about when he/she thinks your baby is physically able to sleep at night without feeding. I've never just laid my children down without rocking, singing, or reading. I might do those things and then lay them down drowsy, but awake. However, I love bedtime and the quiet time it allows me to have with my children. That is not to say that you are at all wrong for wanting your baby to go to sleep on their own. I remember how tired I was those first several months and even beyond that. Getting a little more sleep became all I could think about some days. Especially, since my children didn't sleep through the night until much later (8 months and 17 months). :)
Ask your Pediatrician. Ask your Mom. Ask your Mother-in-law. Ask your girlfriends. Ask the people who are closest to you, who know you and your baby the best.
I had a girlfriend ask me this same question and I told her she was being a selfish B-tch! Sorry, its true. She always puts herself first. When you're a parent its not about what you want. Its what is the baby wants especially when they are so dependant on you.
Obviously, the answer I gave my girlfriend does not apply to you. I dont know you.
Good Luck!!!
We started putting him down for naps alone around 6 months. He's caught on fast and we've never had problems. We still rock him at night because he's gets that one bottle before bed!
Our daughter would fall asleep in my arms early on, from there we would lay her down and let her sleep. She would wake up in the same surroundings each night and learned quickly to fall asleep there without me carrying her. Some nights she'd wake up screaming (bad dreams or gas usually) and I would walk her until she fell asleep, but always returned her to the same bed so she would remain used to it.
