Catch the Wave! Hospitals in New York are actually prescribing fruits and vegetables and are helping families to get them by giving them "health bucks" reports Dr. Lisa Bajpayee. These health bucks can be spent at local farmers' markets to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Wholesome Wave is the organization behind this experiment and they've had some great results.
New York joined 7 other states testing this plan. They found that families kept their clinic appointments because they knew they were getting these bucks. Plus families report using 93% more fruits and vegetables. And over 37% of the children participating decreased their body mass index, or BMI.
Why is this important? Because eating more "fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity and even overall mortality," says Dr. Hensrud of the Mayo Clinic. And that is important to us in Grundy County.
True, we are not in a place where our doctors are writing prescriptions for fruits and vegetables! But here are affordable ways to get these wholesome foods so you can increase the amounts you are eating:
Buy frozen: Research has shown that frozen fruits and vegetables have the same amount of nutrition as fresh produce. Frozen produce is often half the price of fresh and won't go bad as quickly.
Buy in season: Food grown in season is cheaper and tastes better. Now's a good time to buy peaches, blueberries, corn, cucumbers, squash and tomatoes. And getting these foods locally means they are fresh and higher in nutrition than things trucked in from other states or even shipped from other countries.
Grow your own: Growing your own fruits and veggies can be very satisfying plus it tastes so much better! If you don't have room for even a little garden, you can grow a tomato plant in a pot on the porch.
And finally, buy in bulk: It's cheaper to buy fruits and vegetables such as apples, oranges, grapefruit, potatoes and onions by the bag, not by the piece. You'll fill more lunch bags and spread the cost over many more meals. If the bag is too big for your family, find a friend to split the bag with you. That reduces the cost for both of you.
The USDA recommends eating 2½ cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit every day. So as you eat your fruits and vegetables, think about these facts.
A horn worm can eat an entire tomato plant in one day
In the US, more tomatoes are eaten than any other fruit or vegetable
An average size tomato has one gram each of protein, fat and fiber plus almost as much potassium as a banana but only 35 calories
The tomato is in the same family as a petunia
Eating tomatoes can lower your risk of cancer
Actually a fruit, the Supreme Court ruled in 1893 to make tomatoes a vegetable (The Tariff Act of March 3, 1883 required a tax to be paid on imported vegetables, but not fruit!)
Bell peppers can be purple as well as green, red, and yellow
California produces almost all the broccoli sold in the US
Carrots are the 2nd most popular vegetable in the world after potatoes
Most of the nutrients in a potato are right under its skin
The average American eats 140 pounds of potatoes each year, including over 50 pounds of French fries!
A baked potato with its skin is a good source of 4 grams of dietary fiber
A medium potato has 3 grams of protein, no fat and more potassium than a banana
Sweet potatoes, winter squash, soy, lima and white beans also have more potassium than a banana.
We know that our health will improve if we chose to eat a variety of wholesome foods and avoid highly processed, rich foods. But it's our choice. Catch the wave of eating improved food choices sweeping around the world.
Choose Health!

RENO — The Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, a public service and research department in the College of Science at the University of Nevada, Reno, is holding its 15th annual Earth Science Week field trip as part of a national celebration of earth sciences.
This year's event, titled "Tuff All Over: Exploring Faulted Volcanic Terrain in the Painted Hills, Virginia Mountains, West of Pyramid Lake," will be led by University geologists D.D. LaPointe, Jon Price, Jim Faulds, Craig dePolo and David Davis. The all-day trip will take place on Oct. 20 or 21. Those who wish to attend can sign up for either day.
Participants will see how geologists discover the history of an area using geologic maps, view the hazards of an earthquake from indications of recent faulting and assess the potential for mineral resources. Individuals will also have the chance to collect many different types of volcanic rocks, including several tuffs, and some diatomite, which has occasional leaf fossils.
There will be six stops on the 80-mile round trip. Drivers are encouraged to ensure they have enough fuel to make the trip through the remote areas. The different stops will include diatomite near Mullen Pass, an overlook of the Warm Springs Valley fault zone, and an optional, end-of-the-day 2.8-mile hike to collect more samples of a variety of tuffs and petrified wood.
Participants can expect to see Nevada landscapes in a way that they normally wouldn't if they were out hiking by themselves.
The event is free and open to individuals of all ages, but you must sign up online at www.nbmg.unr.edu before the event to participate. The group will leave from the Great Basin Science Sample and Records Library, on the west side of the campus of the Desert Research Institute, promptly at 8 a.m. each day. Individuals can meet at 7:30 a.m. to preview rocks that can be collected on the trip. Participants must provide their own lunch, sunscreen, a hat, a first-aid kit, plenty of water and be able to drive a four-wheel-drive vehicle or arrange to carpool with someone else. The trip will end before 5 p.m. each day.

Memorial Sloan Kettering's Pituitary Tumor Center team is one of the most experienced in the nation in diagnosing and treating pituitary tumors. Every patient receives personalized care from our multidisciplinary group of experts, which includes neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, neuro-ophthalmologists, skull base surgeons, radiation oncologists, and neuroradiologists.
Tumors of the pituitary gland are often challenging to identify and diagnose, partly because in many cases the tumors never cause symptoms. In some cases, symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and vision problems are attributed to other diseases, and the search for a pituitary tumor is overlooked.
At our Pituitary Tumor Center, we combine the use of state-of-the-art diagnostics — including intraoperative MRI, imaging, hormone testing, and visual field testing — with surgery, radiation therapy, and medication to ensure that you receive the most-sophisticated care available. Often, our patients are able to visit with three of our specialists — an endocrinologist, an ophthalmologist, and a surgeon — in a single day, rather than having to see multiple doctors at different locations.
Intra-Operative Imaging Suite To improve the success of brain surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering's neurosurgeons perform brain surgery in an intra-operative imaging suite that has a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner in the operating room
Our intraoperative MRI is one of just a handful in hospitals in the country.(1) The high-field-strength MRI scanner enables our surgeons to rapidly and accurately capture images of the pituitary gland and surrounding structures. We can confirm that a tumor has been removed entirely while you are still under anesthesia. With this enhanced precision, outcomes for our patients have improved, and the need for a second surgery is reduced.
At Memorial Sloan Kettering we are also experienced in using a minimally invasive technique called transnasal transsphenoidal resection to remove pituitary tumors. Surgeons are able to bypass brain tissue, operating instead through an incision inside the nasal passage. The risk for neurologic complications with this approach is very low, and the surgery leaves no visible scar.
Our other surgical approaches include endoscopy — which involves the insertion of a thin, lighted tube with a camera on its tip (an endoscope) to facilitate removal of the tumor through the nose — and craniotomy. With craniotomy an incision is made in the skull to remove tumors that have become too large or enmeshed in the surface of the skull to remove in other ways.
Learn about our approach and expertise in diagnosing and treating specific types of pituitary tumors.

I Finally Tried Quorn's Vegan Burger!
I've been hearing veggies talk about Quorn products for a crazy long time—everyone seems to be a huge fan. I was beyond mega bummed to find out that their huge selection of meatless goodies didn't include anything for us vegans… that is, until now!
Quorn Foods recently came out with their new vegan burger, and lemme just say, mama liiiiikes. You know what's crazy? I'm not even that into veggie burgers—the texture and coloring always seem a bit funk. But seriously, who I am to pass up trying new vegan foods?
I tried this patty out yesterday for the first time, and as soon as I took it out of the packaging, I could tell it looked a bit different from standard veggie burgers—it was definitely lighter in color. Once cooked, I slathered this bad boy with Vegenaise, spicy mustard, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes and then cozied it up between two slices of toasted sprouted wheat bread, and dug in like it was nobody's business. This vegan burger was super flavorful (smoky and meaty) and it sort of reminded me of vegan chicken patties (which I lurve). It tasted like a burger/chicken patty lovechild, and I was SO feelin' that shit… so much that I made myself a second sankie! I'm not sure if that's what they were going for, but I honestly don't care. I have found myself a new fave vegan burger. BTW, these patties are soy-free! (Shannon, you can eat these!) ;)
The Quorn Vegan Burger is available in over 1,000 stores across the US, including Whole Foods Market.
If you've tried this new vegan burger, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

They're too cheap to package them individually. That means you have to use 'em up fast or manually wrap them up. No need to buy them!
I also love the Quorn Vegan Burgers and think that they're just as good as the popular Boca veggie burgers!!
It's really hard to find stores that sell the Quorn Vegan Burger though.

Welcome to Classical Receptions in Late Twentieth-Century Drama and Poetry in English project site. This project has been established to document and analyse the theatrical and literary surge of interest in Greek texts and drama which is a phenomenon of the late twentieth century.
The website for the Classical Receptions in Late Twentieth-Century Drama and Poetry in English project is currently under redevelopment.
New research will be added to the poetry database.
Classics in the Modern World – a Democratic Turn? An International Research Collaboration to be held at Milton Keynes 18-20 June 2010.
This international conference was the culmination of the collaborative work that has been developed with colleagues in Australasia, Europe, South Africa and the US on the implications of the 'Democratic Turn', in which classical texts, material culture and ideas seem in recent years to have become more widely used among all sections of society and cultural groups, rather than restricted to elites. The conference included case studies, analysis of the implications for how classical culture is perceived and transmitted, evaluation of approaches, methods and scholarship and, especially, critical examination of the extent to which the impression of more 'democratic' impact is, or is not, justified by the evidence. We expect this conference to lead to a substantial publication.There was also a workshop for graduate students on Friday 18th June (who were then welcome to attend the whole conference).
A conference publication of selected papers,
to be edited by Lorna Hardwick and Stephen Harrison, is planned for the near future.
Conference organisers: Lorna Hardwick (The Open University), Stephen Harrison (Oxford University), Jess Hughes (The Open University) Anastasia Bakogianni (The Open University), Kate Nichols (RHUL) and Carol Gillespie (The Open University).

Muddy Mayhem, Off-Road Carnage & Typical Trail Disasters
Front and rear lockers, long-travel suspensions, and the most powerful engines in the history of man are sometimes no match for what Mother Nature has to offer. While mud is generally the great equalizer for almost every rig, there are plenty of unique ways to get stuck off road. While we know these lapses in judgment and general off-road goofs might not be your proudest moments, they are very entertaining for others!
Here are some of the best of your worst flops, stucks, and off-road calamities. So remember to not be shy. The next time your rig gets a little too off-camber or in a position that it shouldn't, stay calm, think smart, and snap a photo. Then when the mud dries and the smoke clears, send the photo and story to us at email@example.com.
Always secure your junk! The ice chest made it just fine.

Humble Pie
After pulling my buddy's truck out, I thought I would show off a bit. I got a little cocky and wanted to show him how I could stop in the middle and then keep going. Well, my pride took a hit, and the same truck that I just pulled out now had to give me a tug!

Big Bro Rules
My sister came to visit from college stressing out about school and her job. So to ease her nerves I told my wife to take her out wheeling while I was at work. A few hours into the day I got a message with this photo. They got stuck in some swampy gunk!
M. White
The Plan
My plan was to show my girlfriend that this hole wasn't that bad. It ended up taking 10 hours, a 9K winch, two 1-ton trucks, and a Hi-Lift jack to get us out.
Austin Brewer
Snow Doze
We went off to go sledding and the snow came in heavier than expected. I left my truck overnight, only to come back the next day and find most of it buried. It took a D8 bulldozer to get us out and a week to get things running right.
Craig Boren
I really wish I would have listened to my better judgment when I installed the stacked lift blocks that came with my lift kit. Had I not been with a great group of friends I'd still be stuck in the mud pits near Monroe, Washington.

No Pizza for You
A friend and I headed out for what we had planned on being a quick pizza run. After a little prodding we decided to make a small off-road detour. Five hours later we finally dug ourselves out. Next time we'll get the pizza before we head off-road.

I took a short drive down a logging road, and it went from road to swamp almost instantly. It ended up taking two fullsize pickups to pull me out. The disappointing part is that if I would have made it another 10 feet I would have been out of the swamp.

Jeff Ashley
While driving down a gravel road, I came upon a section flooded from a recent storm. The road had recently been rebuilt, so I thought nothing of the few inches of water I could see over the roadway. I guess they missed a spot. It took a few hours of winching by a wrecker to finally free the truck from the thick mud and quicksand under the water. The hole was 4 feet deep, but luckily the skidplates caught and prevented a worse fate.

Same-Sex Couples And Financial Planning
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) As some same-sex couples begin to plan for the "big day" in states like New Jersey, which became the fourteenth state to recognize same-sex marriage last month, financial advisors heed these couples to examine the impact of tying the knot on their personal finances.
"We now have a country that is a mosaic of different relationships," said Drew Gulley, director of strategic partnerships at Lambda Legal, who develops financial planning curricula for the gay community. "It's a state-by-state roll-out in term of how each state interacts with the new federal guidance."
The Internal Revenue Service changed its policy effective on August 29 after the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act in June. The IRS now recognizes any same-sex marriage entered into legally irrespective of whether the couple lives in a state where marriage is legal.
"In the eyes of the federal government, you are married and you get more access to benefits at least at the federal level." Gulley said.
There are more than 130,000 married gay and lesbian couples in the United States, according to U. S. Census Bureau data in 2010. And with more states, notably the recent decision in New Jersey to legalize same-sex marriage, that number is expected to rise.
A gay couple that exchanges vows in New Jersey, but resides in Texas, a state that does not recognize same-sex marriage, is still afforded the same benefits and tax deductions under the new guidance. These federal benefits do not include Social Security benefits, as the agency only awards benefits to same-sex couples in recognition states.
"If you live in one of those states or a jurisdiction that doesn't recognize same-sex marriage or you own property in a jurisdiction that doesn't recognize same sex marriage, then you're still going to be saddled with or be treated as if you're a single individual in that state," said Bruce Hoffmeister, a senior financial planner at Wilmington Trust.
Financial advisors say the ruling made the tax situation easier for those couples living in the 14 states plus the District of Columbia and other jurisdictions that recognize same-sex marriage, but it didn't solve all the problems because now such couples must file married or joint.
"The bigger reason for not getting married is to have to do with bigger things like avoiding the marriage penalty," said Joshua Hatfied-Charles of Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.
The marriage penalty impacts the higher net worth couples that both have higher earnings, Hatfield-Charles said. "And, if you have any type of partner has a major medical issue and is in need of Medicaid then that might be a challenge as well," he said.
"Most gay couples I know are waiting to get married to see how it plays out politically," said Alexander Gish, a New York resident who married his husband in Canada earlier this year.

Ok, so I got to the Cave of darkness, and was actually enjoying it on the iPhone, then with the recent update it puts the delete save state right next to: restore save state, Which btw nate true, is fucking retarded. There isn't even a confirmation to say, yes i want to delete. its just gone. So now I have been pushed back so far with my regular in game save that I don't even want to play this game anymore, let alone donate to the cause which I was seriously thinking about doing. Jesus christ. I knew that was going to happen as soon as I updated, and guess what. My big thumbs hit the button the next day. No wait. less than 12 hours later. So there is my rant and my recommendation. Thats like putting the self destruct button right next to the gas pedal of a car. Or the 'Format C:\' option right next to the 'Start' button. C'mon!!!!
If anyone wants to know how to lose 5 hours of hard FF play time, here is the easiest way to do it.

Who's Your Favorite Real-Life Gossip Girl Couple?by Steve Marsi at .
This is random, but we think you'll have fun with it anyway. We often debate the merits of Gossip Girl couples, but which real-life pairing is your favorite?
Not that there's a wrong answer, really.
You have to love the fact that three different pairs of co-stars are currently dating - and not dating who their Gossip Girl characters are (at least right now).
Blake Lively and Penn Badgley have been an item since way back when Dan and Serena were a thing. Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr are a couple, as well.
Rounding out our survey are Leighton Meester and recurring guest star Sebastian Stan (Carter). All seem happy and more stable than their GG alter egos!
There's still hope for you (age appropriate) single guys and girls: We think Chace Crawford, Michelle Trachtenberg, Taylor Momsen and Connor Paolo are single.
As for the three aforementioned pairs, who's your fave? Vote below!

As much as i love Ed/Chuck, i really cant stand Jessica/Vanessa. :/ So i have to say real life? Penn and Blake, haha.

Three wise men enter, carrying gifts for the Christ child. The importance of this moment cannot be overstated — this baby is the son of God. Then they hand over their presents: a cigar box and a welfare ham brought from home.
If you want a traditional nativity scene, you hire actors, but if you want the best Christmas pageant ever, you bring in hoodlums.
At least that's how it works for the characters in the CAST production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." The old favorite is back by popular demand after CAST's 2006 performance, says Kim Dobbs, the producing artistic director.
"It's a favorite holiday story for children," said Dobbs, who is also directing the play. "I thought it was time to bring it back."
The play follows the story of the Herdman siblings — six kids who fight, lie, steal and smoke cigars. Ralph, Imogene, Leroy, Claude, Ollie and Gladys decide to crash a local church after overhearing there are snacks at Sunday school.
On the Sunday they arrive, auditions for the year's Christmas pageant are announced. The church kids are all tired of being in the play every year, but the Herdman kids, upon hearing there's even more dessert for performers, force their way into the lead roles.
"I call them the 'Herdman Hooligans,'" said Dobbs. "They're not what normally shows up to the Christmas pageant."
The Herdman kids start learning the story of the Nativity during rehearsals. They have a few issues with the tale at first — at one point rewriting the script so they can run down King Herod for being evil — but as the pageant draws near, changes can be seen in the once wild children.
"It's about the transition of evil to good," said Dobbs, particularly the character of Imogene, who plays the Virgin Mary. "We see her transition from a hoodlum teen to being more like Mary."
Dobbs said she hopes the arc the Herdmans make will inspire audience members as well, and that they might leave with a better understanding of the Christmas spirit.
"Good things like this can change people," said Dobbs. "This show teaches the lesson that Christmas is indeed for everybody."
WHAT: CAST presents "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever"
WHEN: Dec. 5-7 and 12-14 at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 8 and 15 at 2:30 p.m.
WHERE: McClellan Theater, 100 Gamecock Drive, Anniston.
TICKETS: Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for kids and students, and can be purchased at the door or online at castalabama.com.

Rondo all fun, and games with ref, but it came back to bite him on the ass
|Posted by shawn cassidy on January 8, 2013 at 4:05 PM
"The league thought it was a big deal. I don't feel there was a need to have an investigation. I know Rodney and that particular time with that play, I actually went up to him and I made a joke, he laughed and in the midst, I did touch him and the league I guess reviewed it, the media blew it up, on SportsCenter or whatever and I served a one-game suspension."
Rondo also went on, and said he's a repeat offender. Danny Ferry went to the league, and in return they fined his sorry ass. Why would a GM do that?? This wasn't a playoff game first of all. I could see that happening if your team lost a close game, but the Celtics had this regular season game in hand, and the call that the ref made was in favor of the Hawks, and that call was bogus first of all, and Rondo did what most NBA players do. The ref didn't give him a tech, so why is it that Rondo gets punished? I'm shocked the league fined Ferry.
Many feel like this was Rondo's fault, but come on. What really happened here? Rondo has deserved punishment in the past. Maybe not as harsh. But Rondo did what he did, and like I said most NBA players go up to a ref, and the same. Rondo went on to say he needs to adapt, and maybe that's not good enough.

I read and re-read the complete interview, and at the end of it, I started thinking that if I was the league and the media, I'd be ashamed and I'd feel the need to apologize to Rondo.
To me, it looks like during his interview, he basically said: "Now, everybody can see that I'm the target of the NBA and that the media are helping them to get me in trouble just because I'm not gonna bow down and kiss their ass"
He even said that he's gonna adapt, he didn't use the word change. And that's because he's not gonna change!! He's just gonna adapt to this man-hunt the league and the media are doing with him.
Maybe I'm just thinking too much.. I tend to do this from time to time, but he really made the league and the media look like ridiculous jerk!!
The boy's got swag!!

doesnt mean much. he plays what he gets. reports are his range is awful and cant get to much. some recent outlooks on flores.
<<Putting Flores in leftfield is a bad, bad idea. He's just not fast enough to ever have better than well below average range in the outfield. No, he can't learn to get faster. He'll catch the balls that he can reach, but he will not reach enough in the outfield to be anything other than poor.
Flores at second is more appealing than in leftfield, but I still think that it would be a stretch. He is, and will always be, a second baseman with below average range. Again, he'll field the grounders he can reach, but he will not reach enough of them. He has good hands and a plus arm, but his feet are slow, too slow for short, and too slow to play an average second base.>>

Just a little tattoo design I did a year back. I think she can easily stand alone as a work of art. Hope you like her.
Your style is beautifully refined, you should be working for Disney as their new visionary. The intricate detail of the tiger tattoo and the flowers are what stand out to me on this one. Flawless work!

- Spice Tree Whisky
- The Spice Tree is the invention of master whisky blender John Glaser. His passion is to create whiskies from a blend of single malts, to create a final blend with exceptional balance and complexity.
- About this bottle: The Spice Tree is a unique experiment using the finest oak from Vosges region in France. Existing cask heads were replaced with new French oak, and a body of American oak retained; giving this whisky its distinctly spicy character. The Spice Tree is a rich, intensely-flavoured malt whisky, redolent of baking spices and toasty oak accents that all complement distillery character of the single malt whiskies that comprise the recipe.
- "This is made by putting new cask-heads on American oak barrels, creating some interestingly nutty, toasty characters in the whisky. A powerfully flavoured, refined and complex tipple."-Jamie Goode,Sunday Express 9-Jun-13.

Visiting Lada's region for a tour and for arts and crafts (Translation)
3 August 2011
Press Release
/Velké Popovice, August 2/ On Sunday, August 7th at 10 a.m., a traditional August tour will start in Velké Popovice. As usual, the local brewery also contributes to the program and anybody can come and try out their painting skills. The brewery will, during the tour, give the town a cheque for 300,000 Kč (17,604 USD). The money will help local volunteer group of fire fighters, or it will contribute to safer traffic conditions in the town of Velké Popovice or it will help with development of tourism in Lada's region.
Participants of the tour will try out their luck in workshops from Kozel, which will be in front of the Visitors' Center, in the wooden Kozel pub. With a motto "Who can, can," anybody who is crafty will be able to measure his/her skills with steel wool, in painting different materials and other crafty treats. As usual, Olda, the goat, with baby goats, will keep an eye on the day's events.
Fans of the beer from Velké Popovice have an excellent opportunity to find out interesting information about its history. The tour of the brewery will give them more information about its founder, Baron František Ringhoffer, as well as about the process of how the Velkopopovický Kozel lager is prepared. The digester house and cellars, recently added to the tour, with tasting of unfiltered Kozel beer are part of the tour. Tours start every half an hour.
Your taste buds won't get only tickled during the tour of the brewery. After a day full of fun attractions, refreshments at the local Kozlovna, before the brewery's gate, will be quite the treat. Even here you can savor unfiltered, unpasteurized Kozel. It is the best what the brewery has to offer and only three restaurants in Czech Republic serve it from tap. Besides liquid gold, Kozlovna offers a variety of excellent culinary specialties, such as the Beer Pub Goulash or the Roast Pork Knee on dark beer from Popovice.
As part of the tour, the town of Velké Popovice will receive a symbolic cheque with the sum of 300,000 Kč (17,604 USD). The money from the brewery will be given, for example, for equipment and renovation of the fire house for volunteer fire fighters in Lojovice, for building a road for pedestrians in the Daleška valley, or for the purchase of traffic lights to slow down the speed of traffic and for speed radar in Velké Popovice.
This cooperation between the brewery and the town is not only a one time occurrence. The town also received a monetary gift in 2010. With these funds, the town was able to finish building a children's playground and was able to widen a road leading to the pond. "Our investment in the region is a long-term one. We believe that this way we help not only people living in the town, but we also make it nicer for visitors who come to the brewery," manager of the Velké Popovice brewery Jaroslav Hacko summarizes their activities.
Notes to editors:
- The first batch was brewed in the Velké Popovice brewery on December 15, 1874 and only a year later the brewery sold (brewed and sold) 18,000 hectoliters of beer. After only a few years, the brewery became the third largest brewery in the country. It was famous mainly for production of strong dark beer. In 2004, with its increase in production capacity to approx. 1.5 million hectoliters, the Velké Popovice brewery became the third largest in Czech Republic.
- Visitors of the brewery can look forward to an accessible sight-seeing tour, which presents the brewery's history and brewery as we know it, together with its surroundings, in an interesting and fun way. The mascot of the brewery, Olda the goat, is also part of the tour.
- In 2010, the Kozel beer souvenir shop finally received a well deserved wider range of merchandise and with that a rapid increase of visitors.
- Last year marked also opening of a brand new restaurant - Velkopopovická Kozlovna - in the brewery. Already a sixth Kozlovna with an attractive interior and with the unique unfiltered Velkopopovický Kozel beers symbolically closes the first phase of the visitors' tour of the brewery.
- Visitors also visit the brewery for a number of cultural events, which yearly take place at the brewery.
- In 2010, more than 19,000 visitors came to the brewery, which represents a 40% increase in comparison with 2009.

Millions of Americans on Main Street lost their jobs, homes, life savings, and pensions because of the recklessness of some on Wall Street. Years without accountability for Wall Street and the big banks under President Bush and Congressional Republicans led to this economic collapse.
Yet, one year after Democrats passed and President Obama signed the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law, Republicans continue their relentless pursuit to undermine and weaken these vital reforms, siding with big banks over consumers and American families. At every turn, Republicans have tried to delay and defund parts of the law that will protect consumers the most.
On July 21st, Republicans passed H.R. 1315 to weaken, delay, and erode the consumer protections that stop unfair, deceptive and abusive practices and ensure credit card, mortgage, student loan, and other financial transactions are more clear, transparent, and fair to all Americans.
The Republican bill (H.R. 1315):
- replaces the Bureau's Director with a five-person commission,
- makes it easier for the other banking regulators, who failed to protect consumers for years, to overturn the Bureau's rules, and
- delays core functions of the Bureau until a Director is confirmed by the Senate.
It's no surprise Republicans are pushing this legislation, 'bank lobbyists and their allies on Capitol Hill have spent millions of dollars.. seeking to gut the law, or at least stall it [Wall Street Reform].' [New York Times, 4/19/11] GOP Banking Chairman Bachus has stated, 'my view is that Washington and the regulators are there to serve the banks.' [LA Times, 12/15/11]
To help bring back financial security for American families, the Bureau must be strong and independent to effectively oversee the $3 trillion consumer finance industry. But the Bureau is in no way unaccountable: new rules and actions can be overturned by a two-thirds vote of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, unlike with any other regulatory agency.
The bill is opposed by the Obama Administration, Americans for Financial Reform (a broad array of consumer, senior, civil rights, labor, religious, investor groups), AARP, Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, Center for Responsible Lending, AFL-CIO, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, National Council of La Raza, NAACP, Public Citizen, US PIRG, and SEIU.
Key provisions:
- H.R. 1315 fundamentally weakens the structure of the CFPB, replacing the single Director with a 5-member commission. The bill would lead to gridlock, instead of a strong and independent watchdog that can act decisively to protect consumers and support a well-informed, efficient marketplace for consumer financial products. And this proposal was considered and rejected last year. A regulatory agency led by a single director is not unprecedented. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which regulates some of the largest banks in the country, is headed by an individual, not a Commission.
- H.R. 1315 undermines the independence of the CFPB, by making it easier for the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), which is comprised primarily of federal financial regulators, to override CFPB's regulations. The Wall Street Reform Act permits the FSOC to overrule a CFPB rule by a two-thirds vote of the FSOC if the regulation would put the safety and soundness of the banking system at risk. No other Federal financial regulatory agency is subject to the veto of its regulations by its sister agencies. This bill weakens both the voting threshold and the standard for review, permitting a mere majority of the FSOC to overrule a CFPB regulation that is "inconsistent with" safe and sound operation of U.S. financial institutions. In effect, bank regulators could overrule a CFPB rule on nearly any policy grounds they deem appropriate.
- H.R. 1315 delays the transfer date for the CFPB until there is a Director confirmed by the Senate - leaving the CFPB with no meaningful consumer protection authority when it officially opens its doors. The same federal banking regulators that failed to regulate the many practices in consumer finance that resulted in the most severe financial crisis since the Great Depression would continue to be in charge. Strong consumer protections are essential to stabilizing the economy, promoting competition and transparency, and bringing confidence back to the financial marketplace. Delaying the ability of the CFPB to begin its operations will significantly undermine this effort and leave consumers unprotected from the unfair, deceptive, abusive, and predatory practices that brought our economy to the brink of collapse and led to 8 million jobs lost.
Impact of Wall Street Reform Law
Since being created by law last year, the CFPB has already made progress for consumers in a number of areas:
New Consumer Complaint Process
The CFPB is designing a new consumer complaint process with the first piece coming out this week.
Streamlining Help for Consumers
The CFPB will consolidate the authority of seven other agencies and have clear accountability for policing abuses in consumer financial products like credit cards and mortgages and for making sure people have the information they need to make the decisions that are best for them. The CFPB will become the dedicated cop on the beat protecting American consumers in their financial transactions.
Credit Cards
CFPB is pushing credit card providers to simplify their forms in order to make sure consumers can better understand the fees and costs associated with credit. Credit cards are the most commonly used form of consumer credit. Almost two out of three families now have at least one credit card, and almost half of all families carry a balance. The CFPB will assume responsibility for enforcing the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act (CARD Act), enacted by Congress in 2009.
Simplifying Mortgage Disclosures
CFPB launched an effort to simplify the forms that consumers receive when they shop for a mortgage so they have easy-to-understand information that helps them compare different mortgage offers and find the one that's best for them. It also aims to reduce the regulatory burden by giving mortgage originators a clearer, less complicated form with which to work.
Protecting Servicemembers
CFPB is helping servicemembers navigate the unique circumstances that affect their finances - a first step in protecting servicemembers from financial abuses in the consumer finance marketplace.
Leveling the Playing Field to Ensure Payday Lenders, Debt Collectors and Other Non-Banks Comply with Consumer Protection Laws
CFPB has taken initial steps required to protect Americans against abuses by certain parts of the financial industry - like payday lenders and debt collectors -- that we were unable to monitor before the passage of the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Links to Lake Mead 4x4 Trails
Stunning scenery awaits the backcountry visitor to the Gold Butte Mining District and surrounding areas south of Mesquite, Nevada. This region is within a strip of land between the Overton Arm of Lake Mead to the west, the Arizona border to the east, and Lake Mead to the south. Several miles of roadway are designated as the Gold Butte Back Country byway by the BLM and are suitable for use by any high-clearance vehicle. Four-wheel drive is required to travel trails in the south. Remote access to the shore of Lake Mead is possible at several locations.
Vegetation and wildlife is abundant and varied as the elevation ranges nearly 6,900 feet. Life zones transition from the wetter mountains to the dry desert. Joshua Trees, yucca, barrel cacti, and other drought tolerant plants find the lower elevation desert suitable and are commonly observed at the roadside.
From Mesquite (1,600-foot elevation), a paved road steadily climbs and ultimately passes through a break in the Virgin Mountains. After stretching for 31 miles southward, pavement ends near a series of rusty red and tan sandstone outcrops. They exhibit unusual erosion patterns of cave-like holes and bowls; this site is known as Whitney Pocket. Rainwater that pools in the depressions here has been a valued resource for desert travelers since the time of early Native Americans (the Anasazi).
The Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) completed some work at Whitney Pocket from 1933 to 1942. A concrete dam was built at a crevasse in the sandstone in an attempt to catch water. Piping from the dam leads to a livestock watering trough. A nearby cave was walled in by the CCC. Parts of the walls are now disintegrating rapidly and a sign urges the public to assist in conserving what remains. In spite of CCC and cattlemen's efforts to harvest the scarce water supplies, this region does not favor successful ranching. The summers are unbearably hot and often the winters are quite harsh.
Whitney Pocket (3,100-foot elevation) is a good location to dry camp. But, all campers must be responsible and respectful of the surroundings. As evidenced by some scarring of the landscape by a few fools, it is obvious that improved education is required for certain OHV users. They must be made aware of the importance of staying on approved routes to eliminate any terrain and resource damages.
On this trip, we (two Bobs from New Mexico) have again met up to drive our Jeep Cherokees on backcountry routes. This time, in and near the Gold Butte Mining District. After a late start from Las Vegas, Bob Telepak and I spend the first night out camped at Whitney Pocket.
At Mile Point 39 (from the downtown Mesquite starting point) the route divides. This is an intersection of which each branch forms a bidirectional loop to and from Gold Butte town site. Traveling southward to the left is the most direct route. Because the branch to the right leads past some good quality petroglyph (rock art) panels in 8/10ths of a mile and to other interesting sites, we traveled that direction. It is believed that some petroglyphs found in the Gold Butte region may be as old as 3,000 years.
A half-mile past the petroglyphs, the main byway continues to the northwest within Mud Wash. Here, we took a parallel branch to the left that leads to other petroglyphs in 3.7 miles. We pass a spur road that Bob said led to a colorful campsite. It was signed closed to vehicle access, so we continued on to view the next petroglyph panels. Unfortunately, many of the panels at this location show considerable weathering.

Does anyone else have problems with this darn on line submission? I am so frustrated.
I lost my "essay" 4 times.....now each step I go, it takes a couple minutes a screen just to get a cursor so you can type. I have now tried this on two computers AND and Ipad. All the same. At this rate, I will never get it sumitted.
Am I the only one?
Shellbells, Be sure to contact the BFL team on this and perhaps they will have some helpful advice. I had a slight problem this time again with double wording occuring during the typing of the text on each question.
Thanks. WPBill...Im about to just call it a personal challenge and not submit, Im so frustrated.
I also have had double wording happening and am currently working on finishing mine. But like you, I just lost 2 pages of essay, but I am thinking I may not have clicked on "save and continue". But funny is that it is lost on the desktop, but the entry is there on the iPad. So, I am going through it carefully right now in order not to lose anything else. It was frustrating, yes. When are you starting challenge # 2? I am starting this Monday. Wanna journey together?
Hi sorayaRosaria - For me I was editing and it just disappeared in a flash. I ended up writing it in and email and then copy and pasting from there....finally I got to hit save and continue. Now, I just cannot get passed the Essay. It will not let me type anthing (or copy and paste) in any other box. I am so frustrated with this whole site. Recently I filled out a survey. Unfortunately the survey is more about the BFL program (which is AWESOME) not about the site, so I had to give it what looks like good ratings. I'ts a poorly written survey so that is frustrating also.
I too start my Challenge on Monday and would be delighted to journey with you......
