Driver annoyed with no left turn at 144th and Capitol
Issue: A reader wants to know why drivers cannot turn left onto Capitol Drive from 144th Street. She said that instead of driving to a median-break to make a left and continue west, drivers must head east on Capitol Drive and make a U-turn. She is worried that crossing three lanes of traffic for the U-turn is more dangerous.
Status: Michael Pyritz, Wisconsin Department of Transportation communications specialist, said WisDOT decided a U-turn would be safer. Studies have shown that busy roads are safer when they have fewer median breaks and cars waiting to turn at medians. He said that if the driver would have had enough time to safely cross to the median, then they should have enough time to cross to the left lane to make a U-turn.

Chris Stratton has raised his game to a new level, and his coaches knew it would happen at some point. In today's Journal, you can read about the junior right-hander's development as a pitcher and what keeps him composed throughout a dominant season (CLICK HERE).
Stratton is 8-0 with a 2.39 ERA entering tonight's game at Alabama. He's got 95 strikeouts, and all of his other numbers tell a good part of the story. He looks like first-round material for this year's MLB Draft, making good on what coach John Cohen saw last summer in the Cape Cod League.
In October, Cohen told me, "He has emerged as a real prospect. He is somebody that if he can take his game to the next level, he can be as good as he wants to be."
After developing a strong four-pitch repertoire – Cohen said each of Stratton's four pitches is a "power pitch" – Stratton began the year in the bullpen. He threw quite well and reveled in being able to come in a game and cut loose for just a few innings. Then Ben Bracewell hurt his elbow, and Stratton moved into the Friday starter's role.
Would he have gotten into the rotation had Bracewell not been injured? Probably.
"We were just waiting to see what his confidence level was going to be like in games," Cohen said. "Butch (Thompson) was really smart to start him out of the pen this year and have it evolve that way."
Confidence is the glue that holds it all together. Stratton realized during Cape Cod play that he could get quality guys out, and he finally adopted a more aggressive approach. With four pitches he feels comfortable using at most any time, Stratton has no reason to doubt himself as he often did his first two years at State.
And he loves the atmosphere of an SEC Friday night and going against other top pitchers. He's faced off this season against LSU's Kevin Gausman, Arkansas' D.J. Baxendale and South Carolina's Michael Roth.
"I think I'd be lying if I didn't think he could do this," said Thompson, the pitching coach. "Because as you at the opportunities he got as a freshman and a sophomore, and the Friday nights he has thrown, we were kind hoping he'd fall into that, get that momentum going earlier. He's always had that chance. We've always seen that."
Now pro scouts are seeing it, and Stratton is getting a lot of looks from Major League teams. He's politely declined to speak with scouts for now, but he's been speaking with a lot of reporters. He doesn't mind all the extra attention.
"It's not necessarily a challenge. It's a blessing," he said. "It hasn't really been that big of a deal, because I had coverage in high school and whatnot. I'm just going out there and having fun, that's all."

check all 33 songs on the music page
The name is "Knife" Sotelo, rapper and the band *laughs* but this page really has nothing to do with my band. Under the name Filerro I produce nothing but beats, and I'm not limited to a certain genre.
Why this name?
Too stoned to figure out a catchy name for it.
Do you play live?
I've played live once, a certain event was at the House Of Blues in L.A., it was quite interesting, almost anything goes at that venue.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It revolutionized the game. Before you needed to know somebody to put out a record. Nowadays anybody with a half-decent computer and a microphone can become an overnight success.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Like you wouldn't.. *laughs*
Band History:
The band "Knife" Sotelo *laughs* was originally formed in 2003 as a punk band called "uRbIN Chaos", I had left the band in 2005 to go on other ventures but he has also made frequent appearances with the band going so far as starting an eponymous band with it's remaining members. The band's lineup almost always changes between album releases, and most of the time, shows.
Your influences?
Weezer (Goat Punishment), Eazy-E, Sex Pistols, The Misfits, Civet, Body Count, Beastie Boys, Sex Pistols, Kid Rock, to name a few.
Favorite spot?
Hollywood.. On the f***in' strip.
Equipment used:
A half-decent computer and a microphone *laughs* but seriously all I use is a computer to make beats ie. Acoustica.
Anything else...?
I'm a rapper/distributor/producer not to mention producer... lol jk but i really do all 3, so if any one needs there music manufactured to CDs and distributed to stores like FYE, hit me up. I don't charge for collaborations so if youre looking to jump on a song with me let me know. If you know anyone in need, send them my way $$ let them know I charge though but for sure I aint gonna over price it. *laughs*

DISCLAIMER #The title of this post makes it clear that this topic concerns an Elvis Tribute Artist / impersonator / stylist / illusionist. So with that being said, I will assume that those members of this board who are clearly ETA haters will not have clicked on this topic and will of course not be reading this.
So those of us who embrace all of Elvis' wonderful fans in the spirit of the King can enjoy this topic without having any sneering and / or hateful comments posted here.
Now that we know the haters will NOT have clicked here because well.....they are haters, let's get on and enjoy the topic:
================================================== ======================
Well what a week it's been! Not just 1 night of Elvis- but an entire week! And on one of the top rated shows in America!!
Millions have watched the ETAs and I'm convinced that this will have woken up a "sleeping giant" of fans not only in America but all over the World at a time when Elvis had fallen out of the public conciousness.
Sometimes it only takes 1 event or promotion to renew Elvis' popularity all over again- just like what happened with the Nike World Cup commercial which used "A Little Less Conversation" as it's theme.
These amazing Tribute Artists have made it an extraordinary week- the like of which we have'nt seen since Elvis' death- if ever.
Now that it's over, I'm sure it will be one of those moments in time we will look back on and wish it could happen all over again.
Congratulations once again to the dedicated and talented Tribute Artists who did such an amazing job bringing Elvis to millions of people!

I'm not a Letterman fan but it was good to see Elvis was advertised on his show all week. Letterman did read one night some of the Elvis stats which was good to see. He gave the 1 billion records sold and repeated it twice....I love that part.
Love Elvis...The Greatest
RIP Tommy
when I saw Shawn Klush win the BBC 'Worlds greatest Elvis' on the 30th anniversary I thought he was 'spookily' good......but he's c*ap now. seen him twice live and he got more 'over' confident each time. Vocals aren't up to much now.....and he's getting a bit chunky too
"NO-ONE, BUT NO-ONE,IS HIS EQUAL, OR EVER WILL BE. HE WAS, AND IS SUPREME".Mick Jagger
First things first, I'm not a hater - but out of all these performances you posted JR, I liked Justin Shandors more than the others.
I was happy to see Letterman give some time to Elvis to people who perhaps have not investigated him before.
Hopefully something they see will spur that because the best tribute artist is still not the real thing in charisma or talent.
I am not a hater of anything, each person who is a Tribute artist has to ask themselves:
"Have I done justice to the memory of Elvis Presley....?"
I'm sure each in there heart of hearts knows the true answer for their situation.
There was only 1 Elvis Presley so its hard to compare his extraordinary talent to those who give tribute.
I do not go to see Tribute Artists-but I do like the vocal ability of Doug Church to recreate the Elvis sound and feel.
Work in Progress!
Too right Ken......there will be ONLY 1 Elvis.........nobody could ever come close to his talent and charisma
If I want to watch or listen, I want Elvis....not an ETA. However, he isn't here to go to a live event.....and that's where they fill the gap.....but only if they're good, and respectful of his memory
"NO-ONE, BUT NO-ONE,IS HIS EQUAL, OR EVER WILL BE. HE WAS, AND IS SUPREME".Mick Jagger
Letterman did a recap of all the ETA's last night. I wasn't expecting for him to do that, I just happen to be watching his show.
Love Elvis...The Greatest
RIP Tommy

Why I am writing the Two Cent Tuesday? I need to stop having ideas and having Brian tell me it is my idea so it is my post! Here it goes Two Cent Tuesday … a Beth version.
Every need a bunch of little bowls in the kitchen and not have enough. Yeah, that was me a couple of weeks ago when I was trying to get Grace's Rainbow Cake done. I need to sort the jelly beans by color. I knew I had like 6 or 8 glass bowls but I also have SIX little hands in the house that grab stuff from the table as they desire. I dashed around the kitchen for an instant and remembered the muffin tin that I just saw when I put the cool rack away under the stove. 12 little cups … more than I needed. I then delegated … umm, asked nicely who was willing to help me sort colors. My 5 and 3.5 year old were ALL over this. Matthew even was trying his best little two year old effort of matching colors. In no time flat, I had jelly beans sorted …
I made the cake and left the muffin tin on the table. The next thing I knew the parents were asking if they could eat them. Sure. So I went and grabbed a bag of pretzel M&Ms and added to the empty spaces.
The muffin tin was just about cleaned out (minus the black!) at the end of the party from all of the hands grabbing the candy that I had to restock for the pictures … and then the hands were at it again.
Now my muffin tins are well abused … and loved. They show that I use them! So no pretty display but you know what, no one cared. They were thrilled to pick out their favorite color and not dig through plus the kids had so much fun color matching!
A cake post is to come but here was the Rainbow Cake that I needed the jelly beans sorted for …
What have you used your muffin tin for? I know people use them for kid's lunches sometimes but there have to be some other ideas out there. Leave me a comment and let me know!

In a move likely to reignite the political battle over judges, President Barack Obama on Thursday renominated 33 people to the federal courts, including a New York lawyer twice blocked by Republicans worried she would be an "activist" on the bench.
Caitlin Halligan was one of two nominees named again by Obama to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, seen by many as a professional steppingstone to the Supreme Court.
Halligan is currently general counsel for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office in New York. She would fill the seat vacated by John Roberts, who joined the Supreme Court as chief justice in 2005.
In his announcement, Obama said his nominees should have been given up-or-down Senate votes before the 112th Congress adjourned.
"Several have been awaiting a vote for more than six months, even though they all enjoy bipartisan support. I continue to be grateful for their willingness to serve and remain confident that they will apply the law with the utmost impartiality and integrity," he said. "I urge the Senate to consider and confirm these nominees without delay, so all Americans can have equal and timely access to justice."
By law, the president must resubmit nominations that did not receive floor action in the previous session of Congress.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, last week urged Republicans not to stop Obama's pending nominations.
"There are more judicial vacancies now - 75 - than when President Obama was sworn into office four years ago," said Leahy. "The nominations of too many qualified judicial nominees have needlessly languished on the Senate calendar."
In a rare move, Senate Republicans voted in December 2011 to block Halligan the first time she was tapped for the court, complaining the 46-year-old Ohio native was too liberal and would be an activist on the bench.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said at the time that Halligan met the "extraordinary circumstances" standard for a filibuster under a 2005 Senate agreement that allowed filibusters of judicial nominees only in extreme cases.

Shell Bids for Cove Energy, Americans to Save Tax Refunds: Hot Trends
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet Wednesday include Royal Dutch Shell(RDS.A) after the oil company made a 992.4 million pound ($1.6 billion) bid for African explorer Cove Energy.
Cove's board has said it expects to recommend the acquisition to its shareholders. Cove put itself up for sale last month after making one of the world's largest gas discoveries in Mozambique.
Shell hasn't had success in East Africa and is reportedly interested in the acquisition in order to gain a foothold in Mozambique. Shell plans to increase exploration spending by 35% this year to about $5 billion.
Tax refund is trending as a new survey by the National Retail Federation found Americans are planning on saving their tax refunds this year instead of spending them.
According to the survey, nearly 44% of those expecting refunds will allot some of the refunds to savings, the most in the survey's nine-year history. Nearly 40% said they will use the money to pay off debt, while nearly 29% will spend it on everyday expenses.

The 'Monsters' Among Us: Child Sex Abusers in Our Midst
The 'Monsters' Among Us: Child Sex Abusers in Our Midst
Updated and revised May 31, 2012
He loved children.
The man and his wife had parented 75 foster kids in their suburban home encircled by a white picket fence. He worked in marketing for three Chicago ministries, going on to establish a support network for foster-care families.
"Long before we got married ... we agreed we wanted to have large families," the man told a Christian publisher in 2009. "We thought it would be fun to have a lot of children."
And then, the man was arrested in February on charges of sexually assaulting two of his foster children, one 6, the other 12 at the time. Journalists present at a court hearing report that a prosecutor said that this individual confessed verbally to police of nights spent drinking before coming home to engage in sexual contact with these two children, now young adults.
We at Christianity Today recognized the mug shot. For nine years, he was our coworker in a non-editorial role.
The story came to us right before another: a Wheaton College Christian education professor arrested for possessing with the intent to disseminate pornographic images of chidlren under 13, a very serious felony.
And now today comes another tragedy, with the news that Voice of the Martyrs executive director Tom White, a source, partner, and friend to several of us here, apparently committed suicide to avoid an investigation into an accusation that he had molested a young girl.
These events brought a sickening dose of reality to our hallways. These stories don't signal a trend, and the cases are unrelated. The accused foster parent and former professor separately appeared in their respective courts and pleaded not guilty to all charges. The defense attorney for the foster parent has said there is no signed confession. We affirm the presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial as soon as possible.
But these cases also signal that faith-based institutions can no longer assume that predators are somewhere "out there," over the clean Christian rainbow. They are not just in college locker rooms and Catholic rectories either. They are on our evangelical faculty and work in our community nonprofits, and we must respond to them in a way that bears the judgment—and mercy—of the gospel of Christ.
To this end, with the counsel of experts in sexual health, we offer two principles for the Christian community in responding to child sex offenders and preventing such offenses.
First, we must prioritize protecting innocents. In recent years, we've witnessed a movement among churches discerning how to include ex-offenders into the community of faith. No doubt many lives have been transformed in the process. Still, when the well-being of children and the inclusion of offenders conflict, we believe a gospel-shaped community should prioritize protecting the most innocent among us, whose violation invites drowning by millstone (Luke 17:2).
"There is something about exploiting children that even our sexually permissive culture gets: that you don't touch children—even murderers in prison get it," observes William Struthers, a neuroscientist at Wheaton College. Our culture's prevailing response tells us something true about child abuse: Not only is it biologically abnormal (prepubescent children aren't capable of relating sexually), it's devastating for those who endure it.
Practically speaking, all this will require more proactive preventive measures than many ministries are used to. Parents can help children develop clear physical boundaries, recognize inappropriate behavior, and strengthen that feeble "no" into a shout. Faith-based institutions are wise to develop a strategy of, "If an employee reports observing danger signals from a coworker, here's how we will respond." A clear policy for network and computer scans is wise. Background checks for all who interact with minors are obvious. Most important, it means teaching that working with children is not a "right" or an unchecked "calling." If a former abuser insists on ministering to children, their request should be denied. "The truly repentant person is not likely going to apply to be restored, because he doesn't want to fail again," notes Mark Laaser, who works with abusers at his Minnesota-based recovery ministry. "If a person is humble, the restoration question becomes moot."

For those of us who know the former CTI employee you reference in the first 4 paragraphs of this editorial, your article rings hollow. It is disingenuous to use his case lumped in with other "Monsters" to make your point about protecting the innocent. What about protecting the innocent who are wrongly accused, refuse to be coerced into a confession and have not been found guilty in a court of law? Would Jesus have any kinder words for that kind of behavior? Since the original posting of this editorial, you added the sentence at the end of paragraph 3. I was at the same court hearing.. What the "journalists" didn't report is that after the state made the assertion he had "confessed," the defense told the judge that there was no written confession and no video or audio recording. The "confession" consisted of hand written notes by detectives during a grueling interrogation. The judge believed the defense, cut bail so he can face the 2-3 year wait until his day in court, out of jail. :-(

Sorry to comment twice, but as an addendum, I think the issue of scapegoating should be especially poignant in light of Chuck Colson's passing.
Shawn Miller
Thank-you for this article and for everyone's comments. God has blessed us, allowing us to discuss the workings of salvation together. Of course I agree with the stated goals here- prevention of abuse and protection of victims. But something feels off. It's telling we elevate sex offenses even over murder. "...that you don't touch children—even murderers in prison get it" The orthodox scholar Rene Girard has spent his life in exegesis of the Gospel, and has developed the notion of scapegoating. A summary: In His death, Christ accepted the role of man's ultimate scapegoat. In His resurrection, He revealed scapegoating to man. This is part, not exhaustive of what Christ accomplished. There is a paper by the religion dept. of Emory university that explicates this topic. I heartily recommend it to the editors here. You can easily find it by Googling "Emory religion scapegoat sex offender". It should be the first result. I feel it terrifies the conscience like the Gospel ought.

Consumers have been warned to be aware of hidden fees and charges when attempting to switch energy providers.
According to a Citywire report, certain deals offered by energy suppliers may seem too good to be true - but that is because there are covert fees in the small print buried underneath the impressive sales patter.
Customers were advised to make sure that if a tariff comes with an introductory discount, they know exactly how much they will be paying for their energy when their bonus comes to an end, because it might even work out cheaper to opt for a more expensive deal to begin with.
Citywire also urged consumers to be aware that when some energy suppliers say they are offering a discount, what they actually mean is cashback, which will be credited to consumers after a 12-month period.
This means that if consumers leave their energy suppliers in the 11th month, they will lose the cashback they have been amassing all year, which means they will ultimately pay more than they expected for their energy.
According to Consumer Focus, customers should always research energy suppliers at independent sources before they switch energy tariffs.

By Susan Hunt
Baltimore County Office of Public Safety Media & Communications
Yes, firefighters do occasionally rescue cats stuck in trees, horses stuck in mud, dogs trapped in burning buildings … and, recently, a great blue heron tangled in a kite string.
Sometimes, even the most experienced rescue workers face situations not covered at the Fire-Rescue Academy. That's what happened on Sunday, April 29, when Halethorpe's Truck 5, under the command of Lt. Stephen Sindler, was dispatched to assist the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department with a rescue involving a great blue heron dangling by its wing from a kite string suspended between two 60-foot trees. The string had wrapped itself several times around the bird's wing.
Now, the long-legged blue heron—almost as much a state bird as the Baltimore oriole – weighs about seven pounds and stands 4 1/2 feet tall with a wingspan of nearly 6 1/2 feet. One of the tricky things about trying to save them is that they are carnivores who kill their prey by impaling them with their blade-like beaks. This was no standard fluffy kitten rescue.
Carefully, Truck 5's crew extended the aerial ladder between the trees. Probationary Firefighter David Hepner climbed the ladder, and—assisted by the DNR officer on the ground—pulled the string and the bird towards him. Following the DNR officer's instructions, PFF Hepner grabbed hold of the bird, cut the string, disentangled the bird and carried the patient to the ground. Crews turned the heron over to Baltimore County Animal Control officers.
The story has a happy ending. Animal Control personnel transferred the bird to the Phoenix Wildlife Center, which treated its injuries and a few days later released it back into the wild.

I have to say this about Baltimore County Fire Chief John Homan. Over a month ago I called 911 for my 91 year old mother who had fallen and fractured her pelvis. Two wonderful paramedics responded to treat and transport her to GBMC. They treated her like it was their mother.
As I customarily do, I sent a thank you e-male to Chief Hohman acknowledging their wonderful and professional work as first responders.
I also sent GBMC a similar e-mail and received a response in one day. As of today, over a month latter I have yet to hear from Chief Hohman.
Any leader who makes $180,000 a year and can't find the time to acknowledge the great work of these professionals should be relived of command. I guess he is too busy counting his DROP money.
Either that or the above story is more worthy of human life and those who work to save it.
If I was your boss you would be fired for such an oversight. How long does it take to answer an e-mail and acknowledge the efforts of these paramedics. The sad part is you have the authority to even delegate that issue.
9:10 pm on Friday, June 15, 2012
Way to turn a positive into a negative Buzztard. He never fails. The angriest dog in the world.
10:23 pm on Friday, June 15, 2012
I'd just be pleased enough that my mother was lovingly taken care of, personally.
10:38 pm on Friday, June 15, 2012
My mother passed away 2 1/2 years ago at 93 years old. When my sister would call 911 and the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Dept. came, you could not ask for a more kind and understanding group of individuals. My sister would ask that they not turn on their lights or siren, so as not to upset my mom. They have also came by my house and helped me with the house next door that flooded and was running all over my property. AVFD are a great group of folks who know their job.
Buzz Beeler
11:22 pm on Friday, June 15, 2012
Terry I'm sorry for your loss. How long did it take for you to acknowledge your kind words of the work of the AVFD. A great response and deservedly so. One small paragraph and we get a clear picture of the compassion and dedication of the people who serve with distinction.
Hohman on the other hand is too busy for just one paragraph, much less two.

11:12 pm on Friday, June 15, 2012
Buzz, this article has nothing to do with your mother (unless she is a blue heron, sometimes some may wonder, considering what her son looks and sounds like). Instead of just appreciating the care your mother received, you have to turn this into something about you!!!! Did you ever think for a second that he didn't want to respond to your stupid ass?! Stop trying to make every story about you!! No one gives a shit about what you think! If people cared, wouldn't you be Councilman right now? Ohh, that's right...your PEERS decided you were not fit for the job, funny how that has happened twice in your life now..haha..
When will you figure this game out? You talk into a lonely hall way...and the only thing you will EVER hear is your own echo! Your voice goes unheard Buzz!
Buzz Beeler

I turned it into the wonderful work of two paramedics that were ignored by a thankful taxpayer's letter of appreciation to their boss.

I don't understand the negatives and personal attacks unless the one's that distract and divert attention to the subject on purpose rattle someone cage. It exposes there true self 'Butt-hurt Buzz' just your name states, stalker looking for glory by demeaning another's opinion and paint a picture of BHB true self undignified and disrespectful. Humanity is the real subject and the ones sacrifices there life, long hours, dangerous, work and do it with a graciously and its one that enjoys the satisfaction of helping another human being. Not for the money not for the glory, helping humanity putting that before his loved ones at home. You never hear the stories of a FD, PD where the person or child they save only to die in there hands and did everything to save a human being. Even just comforting one's life is on the line of crossing over, these experiences weigh heavy on there hearts. They see Reality they see a system that's broke and tries to put light on these issues. When a respectful man with a background on reality continues to serve deserves respect exposing Truth or cause mind provoking thoughts to engage to find an answers or to spotlight issues. The local FD and PD are of valor and just as our service men and women need to be thanked when seen Terry and Buzz comments are of Kindness, humanity experience of the FD, PD in their lives.

Arc, for one who espouses to be rather bright, you seem to focus on the messenger and not the message.
What is the part of the word leadership you cannot comprehend? How can you be intelligent when you can't be objective. Go back and read what I wrote. If you do and can justify why the fire chief cannot find the time to acknowledge the great work of his employees and you see that as a positive, you too must place a different set of standards on the degrees of life.
Since you claim to be an angel you would have first hand knowledge about serpents, wouldn't you? I prefer the nonsecular word snake.

Buzz Beeler
11:45 pm on Friday, June 15, 2012
Because after 39 years of doing this it is customary to acknowledge the thank you and the letter is being placed in their file.
If you had a job, you might understand that.
If I'm a nobody what is a B-h-B? Is that your life's work - DUDE?
11:57 pm on Friday, June 15, 2012
Hi Buzz, thank you so much for your kind words. I stopped by the fire station and also called to thank them personally. When my mom passed away, I stopped by the station and told them. They were sad to hear of her passing. She got better treatment from them then St. Agnes! When I see them I still say hi and talk to them, or I wave when their trucks pass by my house. At Christmas, they drive through the area with Santa on the engine. They will stop at my house and I wave and I am thankful that there my firemen. I'm glad your mom is alright. As for Homan, he should have given .you a reply thanking you. However he sits on his butt in an office and collects a BIG paycheck. It is the firemen who make the dept. not him! The pain of the loss of our mother is still very real and difficult. However, seeing the firemen is a kind reminder.
12:06 am on Saturday, June 16, 2012
Buzz-hurt Buzz, I think Buzz was just commenting what a nice job they did for his mom. The article was about the fire dept. It's nice when the firemen are recognized for their work.
Buzz Beeler
12:09 am on Saturday, June 16, 2012
Terry thank you. As a cop I always felt good when someone took the time to say thanks. I knew I touched their lives.
How long does it take to give a person an order to reply and acknowledge a good job. That is the sad part.
I'm coming out with a blog called "Lifes Perilous Journey." You been through it and I am watching it take place. I wrote it hopefully so people will be prepared for anything that impacts their loved ones.
You are a good caring person. Glad to have the opportunity to share some thoughts with you.
12:42 am on Saturday, June 16, 2012
Buzz, I'm looking forward to your blog. I'll have to tell Steve, we are the folks working hard to put Elm Ridge Ave on a higher plain. And also we are trying to force District 1 to recognize 21227 and 21229. I think we need divine intervention!
Butt-hurt Buzz
12:30 am on Saturday, June 16, 2012
Terry, Buzz wasn't commenting on the fire department, he was commenting about HIS experience with the fire chief. The article had nothing to do with either subjects.
As you will notice if you read his ramblings on this site, he loves to make himself the center of attention. This was a positive article and he Buzzed it (put a negative spin on it). Buzz could ruin a wet dream!
12:53 am on Saturday, June 16, 2012
Butt-hurt Buzz, I understand your point and there was a huge article regarding Holman and the fire dept. My comments were about the fire dept and what a .great job they do, as well as saving the blue heron. I saw an opportunity to tell of other good deeds they do. When the cops come to my neighborhood when I call them, I either thank them or call Wilkens District and thank them. Sorry if my comments were outside of this article.
Buzz Beeler
12:00 pm on Saturday, June 16, 2012
Eastesider, again I say how easy was that to say. A good leader recognizes the efforts of his troops.
4:11 pm on Saturday, June 16, 2012
I will say the Chief is well aware of the efforts of T-5 and Arbutus Volunteers and is proud of what they did. I'm not going to speak for the chief, but if he responded to every letter or email he received other thing could be overlooked in daily operations. If you sent a letter of gratitude for the crews then they were recognized in our staff notes that is sent out through department email for all to read.
Buzz Beeler
5:43 am on Sunday, June 17, 2012
Eastsider, if he is so proud of the work these brave men and women do and I'm sure he is, I would be shouting it from the roof tops. I have written many letters over the years to county officials over issues such as this and this is the firsts time I have received no response.
Al least he could have let me know the two paramedics received my thank you letter. I promised them I would send one. I wouldn't want them to think I renege on a promise.
8:27 am on Sunday, June 17, 2012
Again Chief Hohman is a very busy man. If you want direct recognition for these paramedics and fire crews then take a few minutes and stop by the station and meet and greet with them in person. A face to face "Thank You" is always better then written words. I know personally he is proud of the job we all do.
Buzz Beeler
8:24 pm on Sunday, June 17, 2012
Esastsider, thanks and I understand your position. I like the letters because it goes into their records permanently. Not only is it a thank you but now part of their records like an award or citation. You and I know from experience that is the extra step that is most appreciated by the troops.
Buzz Beeler
5:16 am on Monday, June 18, 2012
Arbutus Town Crier, I read you comment and must say it was a well written and articulated posting. Eloquently stated.
I just wanted to say thank you in a formal way so it became part of their personnel record. There is no way for me to know that if someone fails to acknowledge my words.
The chief can delegate this to subordinates which is the normal situation and how much effort can that be.
Recognition for ones work means a lot. It did for me. After teaching a first grade class on how to cross and play around traffic, I received 2x3 ft. thank you signed by all the kids. I still have it.

I have to say - After reading the story, I was looking forward to commenting. After reading the comments (not all of them, but enough to get the idea) - not so much. :( However, I won't let that stop me from telling Patch, AVFD, and the DNR that I really enjoyed reading this bit of sweetness and heroics. Bravo!
Buzz Beeler
1:16 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
I received a call from Chief John Hohman's office with copies of his response to my thank you e-mail. I found them in a manual search in my spam folder. I have filters to deal with the thousands of spam mail I receive and have had them tuned several times.
I owe the Chief a sincere apology. With the amount of spam I receive I am careful to search all locations. I take full responsibility for my mistake.
I have had my filters adjusted several times and will have to again, hopefully to avoid an issue such as this the future. I will forward my comments directly to the Chief with my apologies.
In fact I will do a blog on this. I will always take responsibility for my actions including the stupid ones.
1:28 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
What a finish to this thread!
but yeah, I always manually check my spam before I trash it. gmail's filters are pretty effective, sometimes legitimate things get through.

Thanks Tim. I appreciate your remarks. I did a blog on my mom in hopes that others will be ready when faced with these issues.
5:37 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
Buzz-- Glad to see your mom is well. In an earlier reply I spoke about my mom, which was very difficult. I don't know if anyone could ever be ready for a 90+ mom or dad falling or getting very ill. I'm very grateful for the compassion of the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Dept. and your kindness for sharing your experience.
Buzz Beeler
6:06 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
Terry thanks. I messed up on the Chief's e-mail. It got caught up in my spam folder and even a computer search did not pick it up.
This is the blog I just did and I'm going to do one of the FD. I owe the chief that much.

Despite the rhetoric of ideologues like Slavoj Žižek, an approach that looks beyond capitalism as the root of all evil will be key to the success of Occupy. Economics is my specialty, but even I recognize it's not the whole game.

September 4th, 2012
Justin Bieber is continuing his crusade to stage a mass pass-out by Beliebers worldwide by posting his third shirtless picture in three days. The Canadian singer tweeted a photo of himself this weekend laying shirtless on a bed, while showing off his new tattoo, a crown on the right side of his chest.
This definitely isn't Justin's first trip to the tattoo parlour. The crown marks Bieber's seventh tattoo, adding to a list that includes a bird on his hip, Hebrew scripture on his ribs, and his album title Believe on the inside of his left arm. It sounds like there's still plenty of room for the always classy 'I Heart Mom' bicep tattoo.

China Lifts Newly-Imposed Internet Restrictions
By editor
Now a word about the media in China - it is heavily controlled by the government. That reality was clear on Saturday when new restrictions banning commenting were imposed on two Twitter-style websites. This followed online rumors about a military coup in Beijing. The government says the rumors aren't true. And today, the restrictions were finally lifted, but the government certainly made a point about who's in charge.
The floodgates are of course open for your comments here at MORNING EDITION. You can find us on Facebook and you can follow us on Twitter @nprgreene and @morningedition.

Series: Searching for Motivated Belief
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
Series: What I Wish My Pastor Knew About... The Life of a Scientist
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
Multiple Lines of Evidence for an Old Universe
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Exploring Baby Galaxies with Charles Steidel
No one need ask: "Were you there?" Chuck Steidel has tapped into nature's own motion picture of past events, now showing in the present. Anyone who cares to view it can now see for himself what was and wasn't there, at various stages of the deep past.
Meet Jimmy Lin, "Medical and Scientific Doxologist"
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
Awe in Science
If we can understand the experiences of the people who work every day in the lab, our dialogues concerning science and religion will be far more fruitful.
Series: Science and the Bible: Intelligent Design
In this series, Ted Davis identifies the history, core tenets and assumptions about the Intelligent Design view.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Series: It's an Old World After All
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
The Questions Update: The Age of the Earth
We've recently been looking at the evidence for an old earth and the long history and vibrancy of this view among evangelical Christians. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?" revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
The Beauty of Being a Scientist and a Christian
I am a Christian. I believe that God is the ultimate reality and that the world, including me, was created by God. But this is not just an idle affirmation, a faith statement to be recited in church on Sunday.
Being Fruitful
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
The Transit of Venus
Today we have a chance to witness a special moment in history as Venus transits across the disk of the Sun for people across the world to see. Not only is this process of discovery exciting for natural science, but it has profound theological ramifications as well.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.

'White Boy Rick' collecting donations for food bank from behind bars WITH VIDEO
If things had gone differently, Rick Wershe could be preparing to leave prison and join his family for the holidays.
Instead, the 43-year old known to the public as "White Boy Rick," is trying to make the best of his situation and help some local Metro Detroiters have a Thanksgiving to remember.
Rejected for parole back in August for the third time in nine years, the former teenage drug kingpin is staging the Rick Wershe Turkey Drive, collecting donations of Thanksgiving turkeys from behind bars to give to the Gleaners Food Bank in Detroit for the upcoming holiday.
Wershe got the nickname "White Boy Rick" for being involved in Detroit's urban drug scene as a young teen. In addition to cooperating with the FBI on a number of successful investigations while in prison, cases which eventually led to dozens of convictions, a number of retired members of law enforcement have recently come forth and admitted to illegally using him as a government informant and recruiting him into the local drug scene on their behalf when he was 14 years old.
"I might not be coming home this year, but whenever I can try to help my city, the place I grew up, I'm going to try to do it," said Wershe in an interview from the Oaks Correctional Facility in Manistee.
"I'm not doing this for sympathy or for a media opportunity. This has nothing to do with me. Everything that's being done is being done to simply try give a little something, a little piece of sunshine, to the people who need it this time of year."
Wershe's ascension in the volatile Detroit drug world at such a young age transfixed the area's press in the late 1980s, his face and name dominating headlines for close to two years.
He's currently serving a life sentence in state prison as a result of a narcotics conviction in January 1988 that stemmed from a traffic stop where police found eight kilos of cocaine buried under a nearby back porch. Only 17 years old at the time of his arrest, Wershe's been incarcerated now going on 25 years and won't see the parole board again until 2017. Continued...
The final year of Wershe's freedom he lived in Oakland County, owning a house in Southfield at 11 Mile and Evergreen where he could often be seen playing basketball with his friends in the front yard in the months before his conviction.
Wershe's legal team believes he is currently the only prisoner in the United States serving a life sentence without a maximum release date for a non-violent crime committed as a juvenile. The Wayne County Prosecutors Office vigorously opposes Wershe's parole.
Those interested in donating turkeys for the drive get more information on the Free White Boy Rick Wershe Facebook page at www.facebook.com/freewhiteboyrickwershe.

Our Stunning Range of Ottomans
The word "ottoman" has been in the English language since 1605; the original ottomans were actually used in Turkey as central furniture items that comprised of padded seats piled high with cushions that all the family could sit on. Once in Europe, this was evolved into a piece of fitted furniture that wrapped around 3 walls of the room it was built into. Eventually, of course, this turned into the smaller item we use today, often as a footrest as well as a storage item.
