Van Heuven, who became BikeDenver's first full-time executive director in 2008, says she often promotes this larger context when she advocates for cyclists' interests: "To see how can we improve our community via this element, the bicycle, which is really a real simple solution to so many societal problems."
But there are growing pains — sometimes fatal ones — involved.
*****More than fifty people came to an impromptu service at Cheesman Park honoring Dan Peterson the day after he died. They hung posters and made speeches; a chaplain from Denver Health even came out and said a few words. For the family, it was meaningful that, in the wake of such an awful tragedy, they could be with the dozens of friends Dan had made in his new home.
"Dan had told me, 'Don't worry, Mom...there's so many awesome people here that I feel like I have a second home here, a family away from home,'" Sandi Peterson recalls. "I could see that." She met many of these friends at the hospital, and says it helped that Dan had so much support in his final hours.
"I told them, 'It's kind of you to be here,' and they all said, 'Dan would have been here with us until the end. He would've been the first one here and the last one to leave. That's just the kind of person he was.'"
Almost three months after his death, they still wonder what kind of people could have left Dan dying in the street.
"Accidents happen. That's why they are tragic accidents," says Sandi. "But to leave him there, that was hard to think about.... I don't know where their mind was. I have no idea who they are or if they regret it."
Laib has tried to piece together the details of the accident, what brought Dan to the intersection of Speer and Lincoln when he should have been on South Lincoln. "You have to think it was his time and something brought him there," she says.
Instead of dwelling on the still-open police investigation, friends and family members try to focus on gestures like the ghost bike memorial.
"It just shows you what kind of people are in Colorado," says Mike Leake, another friend. "There's not just...hit-and-run-type people. There's really down-to-earth, good people who put up bike memorials.... Those are the type of people who are in Colorado, and that's the type of person Dan was."
Unfortunately, this article only reinforces many of the biases that are held by many, if not most, motorists. Of course there are a minority of bicyclists that feel the rules of the road to not apply to them. However, most bicyclists understand the unique dangers that face them when riding on the road and take the appropriate precautions. However, these types of accidents still occur no matter how safe you are riding your bike. Our law firm represents many cyclists and their families that have been injured or killed while following the rules of the road. These accidents are far to frequent and they destroy the lives of not only the cyclists but their loved ones as well.
If you are a cyclist and are not sure if or how the laws apply to you, feel free to check out our website. Quick food for thought: you can receive a DUI on a bike C.R.S. Section 42-4-1301.
Please be safe out there!
I love biking but the issue I find is that too many bicyclists ignore the rules of the road, ride with headphones, ride at night without lights or improper lighting, ride under the influence, run lights or stop signs, ride the wrong way down one way streets. Denver is a great city for biking but for their own safety, like motorcyclists they are forced to be a bit more vigilant. I've been stopped for a burned out tail light but never seen a bicyclist stopped for riding at night without any lights. I have too many friends who think that using their bike for transportation to avoid a DUI is a great thing.
Responsible bicycling is as important as responsible driving. If police enforced rules of the road on bicyclists as fast as they do cars many problems might be solved. Sharing the road responsibly is important. Bicycles are great for health of people and the air we breathe and over crowding of cars but riders have to be as responsible as drivers if the sharing is going to work.
I am always frightened by the number of cyclists at night with no reflectors or lights.
Hi, my name's Ann. (shake hands.) I ride a bike. I'm just trying to get where I'm going. I don't run red lights unless the sensor's broken and the light won't turn green for me. I occasionally ride on downtown sidewalks - at walking speed - because I'm terrified of downtown rush hour traffic. When I do this most pedestrians aren't aware there's a bike behind them, because I'm not trying to pass them. If the sidewalk's crowded, I walk my bike. I don't want to hit anyone and never have, and would much rather ride in the street, but sometimes it's just too dangerous. I always wear a helmet and don't ride with headphones. One time, if I had had headphones on, I probably would have been t-boned and killed by a driver who motored straight through the red light at 45 mph. When I drive I'm very aware that I'm controlling a ton of steel capable of injuring or killing, and try to drive accordingly. I've never gotten so much as a speeding ticket.
Am I your enemy? Should I really be the target of such vitriol?
"We have plenty of bike paths - stay there."
But the places cyclists need to go aren't on bike paths. They need to go to the businesses and residences where everyone works and lives, and very few are on a bike path. At some point you have to use the street to get to your final destination.
"Rush hour is bad enough - don't clog it up further."
If we had dedicated cycling facilities, we wouldn't clog it up. We'd free up space by reducing the number of cars sharing your car lane. The majority of cyclists are also drivers, and when they're on their bikes they're not in cars in front of you. This also means the majority of cyclists DO pay gas taxes. Also bicycles cause orders of magnitude less damage than cars and heavier vehicles, and creating more space to move people by adding a bike lane is far cheaper than adding more car lanes. The problem is there's not a place where bikes *belong* at the moment. Create that - as the article talks about - and things get much, much easier for everyone.
Here's a website that might help explain some cyclist behavior that can be mystifying if you don't ride regularly. I wish this were part of standard driver's education.
The real problem is that bicyclists seem to think that they are sacred cows. They are exercising, and therefore closer to the right hand of God. Get a grip. Be defensive. Cars are bigger. And use common sense as to where and when you ride. We have plenty of bike paths - stay there. Rush hour is bad enough - don't clog it up further.
There is ZERO enforcement of the scumbags who ride bikes on sidewalks. The DPS is appartently only useful when it comes to beatdowns.
The mayor and police chief are dunces.
Every one of these anti bike posts seem to just blame the cyclist. As if all motorist in this town are just driving around following all the traffic rules and it just the angry swarming cyclists that are breaking all the rules. I don't disagree that cyclist sharing the road need to follow the rules but so do the motorist.
Daily I look out my window of my office and see cars that just don't bother to stop at the stop sign at the street corner. Most drivers seem to not know what the big white stop line painted in front of cross walks means. I see drivers all the times the just roll up into the cross walk to stop. If they bother to come to a complete stop at all.
Here is a pop quiz for all you motorist? When making a left hand turn onto a two lane road what lane are you always supposed to turn into? No it's not what ever lane you feel like. It's the left hand lane. Conversely if you are making a right hand turn you need to pull into the closest lane on the right hand side of the road. How often do you see motorist follow that rule?
Currently on 6th Ave and I-25 there are section of the road that are stripped with solid white lines and signage that says "No Passing Stay In Lane". Almost every time I'm passing through one of those sections I see people ignore both the strips and the signs.
My point bringing this up is there are lots of motorist in this town that are either ignorant of the traffic rules or just blatantly ignore them. That isn't an excuse for cyclist behaving badly but no cyclist ever ran a red light or stop sign and killed the driver of a car.
I sometimes commute 18 miles to work and love the fact that I can do this on 17 miles of bike paths. Of course I choose to ride 17 miles on bike paths and if it was 17 miles on Denver's roads I may not enjoy bike commuting so much. I have biked to work in every city I have lived in including Portland (great), San Diego (terrible), Coventry (good) and Sydney (not so good). Denver is good but there is a definite need for education for bike riders and car drivers. Both equally to blame in my opinion. But we have to continue to encourage people to bike; I think we are where Portland was in the mid 90's

Ass hat hipsters with no brakes riding down the middle of busy streets when there are bike lane streets a block away..
Owners of cars pay for registration once a year on their cars to help cover the cost of maintaining roads. If bicyclists expect to be able to take up the same space as a car on the road then they need to start paying yearly registration fees as well to help pay for the roads - otherwise, get the F outta my way!
Mr Peterson contributed to his own demise. He was riding the wrong way on a very busy street at 2am - he was probably drunk too - and ran a red light to boot. Don't feel sorry for him at all. Bikes need to follow the same rules as cars and stay to the right hand side of the road - period, end of story - or become road pizza.
The wailing complaints of motorists that I always see on these blogs fall under two categories; inconvenience and jealousy. Inconvenienced because they have to slow down and pay attention. Jealous because bikes can break the law more easily (run a stop sign, ride on sidewalks, etc.) and get away with it. wah. Dan Peterson is dead. Before the accident he was breaking the law (riding the wrong way without lights) and paid more of a price than any ticket you will ever pay. Before the accident, his killer was breaking the law too, driving a stolen car. You probably have a choice...you're not breaking the law when you see a rider, but you can choose to then, and pay the price yourself. Bike riders don't bother me. I'm not in a hurry. I had one just miss the back of my car the other day (ran a stop sign). My passenger was outraged. I just shrugged it off, because I wasn't breaking the law, would've stopped and called the police if there was a collision, then sought compensation from the rider for all damages. (By the way, you are required by law to report a vehicle/bicycle collision). Calm down. And counter your jealousy with the belief that the rider you see today weaving in and out of traffic will pay for it someday, they all do. Or you can run them down or get into a fight and pay yourself. They're not going away. And you don't want to be the one paying for their stupidity. Calm down.
An article about bike safety with a picture of the chair of the Mayor's Bicycle Advisory Committee and a bike planner from the UK riding around Denver without helmets on - brilliant! I am an avid bicyclist and this illustrates the problem perfectly, many bicyclists need to be educated (including the advocates apparently) on how and where to ride on the streets safely. Riding down one-way streets (13th and 14th specifically) that do not have bike lanes when there are streets with bike lanes only several blocks away (12th and 16th) does not make any sense.
Perhaps we need some reform to traffic laws (treat a stop sign as a yield, stop light as stop sign, etc) and then people will be more likely to follow them.
Cyclists should signal. Cars should also signal.
Some specific infrastructure changes could also make a big difference. The bike map is great, but too few people use it. The story pointed out one of my biggest pet peeves which is the piecemeal nature of our cycle infrastructure. I go from bike lane to sidewalk to unmarked bike route to within about a quarter mile at one point on my commute. It took close map reading and multiple passes on the bike before I was confident that I was doing it right; most cyclists can't or won't take that kind of time.
Wow, I agree with poster Mike!
These bicycles are never useing lights at night. How can anyone see them. I don't agree with not stopping! However, who sees these bicycles out at all hours of the night with no lights on?
The problem here is the Bike Riders are driving around stoned and drunk....... and so are the car drivers!!!
@mkmccalmont thanks! Almost nothing gets more crazy passionate comments than articles about biking...
what a total crock, please dont lump us pedestrians in with the cyclists.
get the cyclists to follow the traffic laws, stay off the sidewalk, and be halfway aware of their surroundings, and the safety problem will solve itself.
Currently they ride anywhere they can, think they own the road, the sidewalk and the bike trail. Pedestrians are nothing more than interference for them, most will purposely graze pedestrians who arent yielding the sidewalk, or get rude and offensive.
Then they bait drivers and tick them off too, Screw denver cyclists, they suck.
Why the city of denver is becoming a "bike city":
This new generation of bicyclists are annoying and dangerous. With their feeble lights they should not be on the streets at night. It's just plain ignorant.
And the last thing anyone wants to deal with when they are going up the mountains is having to deal with passing them. Most of us want to experience the serenity and beauty of the mountains, not a hundred goofy people on their bikes on one of those bike tours or what ever they call them
Now--a question: How to instill safety with the morons who ride bikes--weaving in and out of traffic, maybe come up with a license--say $50 to ride the bikes, and another $100 or so for licenses FOR the bikes--hey, we can make a lot of money. And of course, require liabilty insurance!
Start handing out traffic tickets to those cyclist who, ride the wrong way on a one way, ride their bikes on the sidewalks of downtown Denver and nearly run YOU down while you are walking. Put police of bikes and start handing out tickets, once they have to start paying for their actions and attitude, maybe then there will be respect for Traffic Laws that apply to ALL vehicles YES a Bike is A VEHICLE!!
'There are plenty of bike paths - stay there' tell you what, go and get a map of bike routes, and then pretend your car is a bicycle that can only use those routes. Try to create your route to work using only those bike routes. I think you get the idea...
So we cycle on the road, we get motorists shouting at us to use the sidewalk, we cycle on the sidewalk, we get angry pedestrians.
@SxPxDxCx I would agree with what you have said; however, I would also add one more grievance: cars (especially taxis) who think the bike lane is a parking space.
@propylene22 What a ridiculous statement. Akin to "Old-ass fogeys with bad attitudes, driving on bike-filled streets, when there is a perfectly good Interstate a few blocks away." Bikes belong on the same streets as cars -- that's the law. Drivers need to just grow up and accept that fact. BOTH need to follow the laws.
@CO_Native It depends which part of 13th and 14th you're riding on. If you're riding around Speer and Broadway, there is a bike line.
@CO_Native I ride 13th and 14th Avenue because the lights are timed. It takes me half as long to get where I want to go on those streets than it does 16th Avenue.
@bill generalize much? I'm sure that there are bad cyclists out there but I doubt any of them "bait" cars. Most of the time I stop but sometimes I roll a stop sign. car drivers say that about stop signs, but not red lights. cyclists say that about both. What we really out to do is turn 12th into a cycling only rode and do the same with washington.
Yeah, those horrifically fit people damn them. The road isn't for all Americans, it's for those that want to go skiing. 'America...where at least I know I'm free'.
I have to pay $150 for a permit to wear a coat over my lawfully carried firearm (it is free to carry it openly) which is a constitutionally protected natural right. Biking on city streets is a privilege and since they are not paying taxes via gasoline I agree a permit is a great idea. Actual enforcement of traffic laws is another.
Build infrastructure where it's safe to ride a bike, and you won't have to worry about bikes being on the roads. @Harley101
Traffic laws, and road infrastructure in this city, has been built around the motorized vehicle, not the bicycle. You build something for one use, it's tough to impose another mode of transport on that same infrastructure and laws, hence you have the situation we have now. Cyclist levels are rising, but the infrastrucuture or training (for drivers and cyclists) isn't there.
@jrodenver @druid06211 Just stay out of my way - and stop pretending your bike is a car.
@Michael564 Seriously there are streets that bike have no business being on. Anything with upwards of 4 lanes and 45+ speeds. Bikes on these roads are just creating a hazard to themselves and everyone else. I rode my bike as my only method of transport for 3 years. It's not hard to get where you're going on side streets, and is usually much faster than taking the main thoroughfares.
@UrbanSnowshoer @bugsycook But the smug and total dissolved douchebag units in the air offset the decrease in wear and tear.
@joem Are they "timed" because you ride 30 to 35 mph and keep up with traffic or is it because you weave between the cars stopped at the lights making those same cars pass you several times before they get off 13th or 14th? How many "close calls" have you had on 13th or 14th?
@yaya @Harley101 Are you in a militia? Do you think the framers had any idea a glock 9 could be carried around underneath a petty coat? You strike me as the guy who wants less government not more...unless it is convenient to your opinion.
Who will pay for this?
"Hey neighbor, let me forcefully take the money you have earned to fund infrastructure only I will use since I am too stupid to follow traffic laws"
@jrodenver @druid06211 Thanks, but I'm just fed up with trying to drive and dodge irresponsible bikers.
If it's much faster than using main throughfares, why do cars use main throughfares? Why does anyone?!
@CO_Native @joem I'm with @joem on this one. Cyclists who use their bikes as a primary mode of transportation need to get places and need to be able to do it quickly. 12th is not efficient. Neither is 7th. That said, vehicular cycling is not a solution, it's just obnoxious.

Giants Advance to World Series Against Royals
The amount of excitement MLB betting saw yesterday was thriving; it was a heck of a night. The San Francisco Giants are going on to the World Series to face the Kansas City Royals in a Fall Classic that has the potential of being one of the most memorable in decades. The Giants last night clinched the National League's championship in dramatic and epic fashion, a game that many fans will remember for years to come.
Cinderella No More as Royals Beat Up on Orioles
The Kansas City Royals are slowing gaining believers in their quest for their first World Series since 1985. Steadily, the Royals went from dramatically squeezing in to the post season after that Wild card game, to being the most solid team in the playoffs so far. How did this happen? Let's take a look.

Justin Timberlake spent a whole lot of time away from music so that he could try acting, but he really only made one good movie, The Social Network. That movie's director, David Fincher, got his start making videos for people like Madonna and George Michael, and now he's returned to the form for "Suit & Tie," Timberlake's big, slick comeback single. The clip, shot in gleaming black-and-white, doesn't have much going on conceptually, just a whole lot of footage of light choreography and recording studios and models, with Timberlake and guest Jay-Z always getting to be the coolest motherfuckers in the room. But it's fun to see a glossy big-budget video put together by one of the best ever to do it. Watch it below.
And here's a remix:
JT's new album The 20/20 Experience is out 3/19 on RCA. Check also the new track "Mirrors."

They obviously wanted to make a really cool video, with lots of STYLE but ended up with something rather conventional. Rather tame, I should say.

Which is incredibly fitting given the tame nature of The 20 / 20 Experience's first couple listens so far.

I don't disagree with that, but I think a lot of the expectation sets itself up for that sort of reaction due to how Justin began to be looked at by the press and listeners like he was some sort of pop genius after FutureSex / LiveSounds and to that I say remind yourself that he made more albums as part of a manufactured boy band while his solo debut was just okay for the era it came out in. Mainstream pop musicians are as good as the producers behind them nowadays. Timbaland reinvented his edge and relevance with both JT and Nelly Furtado's albums, but unfortunately, he over-saturated himself by working with everyone and running that sound into the ground (i.e. the track on M.I.A.'s Kala that I recall she thought sucked, that Madonna album, his Shock Value series that tried on his style with a whole mess of randoms.)
Every massive pop star always gets one defining album that wins over radio and critics alike for being a complete album experience. (Beyonce had 4. Britney had Blackout. Rihanna had Rated R. Taylor Swift's will probably be Red.) I think FutureSex / LoveSounds was Justin's, but I'm not saying he won't live to sing another day. Just settle down with thinking this is going to reinvent the music world until it actually does.
This video is classy and sexy, things that many videos nowadays don't have. He is def. bringing back good music back… he's done the sexy thing already. Hope the album does great, i know it will. Also, great video, kind of reminds me of this video by Jeremy Mooney and these guys: http://youtu.be/XcOZk-kxKwQ

"we used this as an invitation for my dads birthday celebration. i used a recent picture of him in color, the quality of the print was great... even after cropping the picture-which worried me. i love the rounded edges, gives the card a much more custom feel. we used the back for details about the get together, it was nice to be able to use the back space as we needed it instead of having to follow one template. many compliments already, highly recommend."
"Beautiful design on the back and front. Love that it comes with the verbiage for an invitation OR you can write your own. I loved the color (I chose orange). The card stock is perfect!! I would absolutely recommend this product!!"
"This card is simple, yet elegant and does the job! Paper quality is great! I purchased my wedding invites through wedding paper divas and now I won't go anywhere else!"

Care that used to require open-heart surgery is increasingly being performed through blood vessels with miniature tools and devices. Advances include a Terumo balloon catheter that can be inserted in the arm rather than the groin; the use of catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation; and the expanded use of a tiny artificial aortic valve. "This is the replacement for the surgeon's knife," said Dr. Spencer King, a past leader of the American College of Cardiology.

Crack the Pepsi iTunes Promo Code
Re:On Apple's behalf... (594 comments)
The stickers constitute defacement, in my book. They diminish the value of the CD to the retailer - the message is repugnant, they're large, ugly, and cover the artwork, making customers less likely to purchase a CD (the whole point of their little vendetta).
Wow; god forbid anyone might do anything to reduce the likelyhood of someone buying a crappy CD.
The stickers go outside the shrink wrap. They bring pertinant information to the attention of consumers. There's no reduction in actual value of the product. The only thing being interfered with is an (exploitative) sales process.

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan
while incorporating many of the improvements in gameplay made in
Elite Beat Agents
. The game has 4-player wireless play, supports the Nintendo DS Rumble Pak accessory, and was released in Japan on May 17, 2007.
Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii
follows more or less the storyline from the original
Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan
, and is set roughly six years after the original game based on the game manual and the age differences of returning characters. Players act as the leader of a three-person cheerleading squad. Whenever someone is stressed out or backed into a corner, all they need to do is shout "Ouendan!" (Japanese for "Cheer Squad"). Then, the Ouendan appear (usually out of a place like a closet or waiting there while eating ramen) and use cheering and dance to help that someone through their troubles. The map of the territory that the Ouendan patrol within
Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii
is the same as that found in the original game, although it has been turned ninety degrees and is now rendered using 3D graphics.
The original Ouendan (signified by wearing their long Gakuran jackets) are still present in this game, cheering people on. However, a new rival Ouendan appear that challenge the original Ouendan in skill and cheering (the "new" Ouendan are signified by their blue military-style outfits.) The individual stories are all unrelated, but characters featured in one stage may appear as background or supporting characters in another. One can also see characters from the first
game as lead, supporting or background characters, such as the pottery maker from the first game that appears as a guest at a hot springs, and gifts the hot springs family with new pottery work should the player be successful in the stage. In the final stage, all of the characters in the game unite when the two Ouendan join together and once again lead the entire world in a cheer to save Earth when the sun's activity stops, plunging Earth into another ice age.
As in the original game, this sequel is played almost entirely via touch screen (the only actual face button used is the Start button for pausing the game). The player acts as the Ouendan, who cheer on the people that are in turmoil and shout out for them (the original "Black" Ouendan control the west side of that world, Yūhi Town, and the new "Blue" Ouendan control the east side, Asahi Town.) The gameplay plays out identically to that found in the first
; the player must tap colored circles in precise time with the music in order to cheer the character through his or her problems. There are three types of marker:
The top screen displays the stage's protagonist overcoming his or her dilemma. If the player's cheering is good, then the meter at the top of the touch screen stays in the yellow, and the character is seen triumphing over whatever it is holding him or her back. If the player's cheering is bad, then the meter on the top of the screen falls to the red and the character struggles. If the player's performance is particularly poor, the meter will hit the bottom and the mission will end in failure. Then, the player can either try again, quit to do something else, or review the last five seconds of gameplay up to where he or she lost.

I haven't seen any in a couple of days. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I never see tons like some people do just 2 or 3 at a time but mine were still hear tomight during our evening sit outside and commune with nature happy hour. But they are usually gone by the end of September so I won't be suprised if they go soon. |
I still have a few that I see each day, though not as often as normal.............they are migrating and will soon be gone until next season. I shall miss them. Right now, I am enjoying the Monarchs. |
I still have a few, we just had our morning visit with one during breakfast. Over Labor Day Weekend I noticed a HUGE drop off. Before that, I'd see up to 4 at a time.. doing battle over the feeders or nearby plants. Suddenly there were only occasional visits by a single one at a time. I still keep the feeders out and fresh up to Thanksgiving just in case a late one comes along. I'm sure you still have some visits, you just aren't catching them. They are quick and I suspect most are not still trying to feed babies anymore. They're fattening up for the trip south and eating lots of bugs. Yesterday I noticed a few monarchs flitting around. |
i had one yesterday on the flame acanthus and turks cap, and saw several last weekend chasing each other around. Haven't seen any Monarchs, and the butterfly weed I plant for them every years is untouched. Not a chewed leaf to be had. Last year they came late tho, so I'm still hopeful. |
I've seen one several times this morning on the feeder. Haven't seen any monarchs, but have been seeing a swallowtail fluttering around some. |

Are the hummers you get mostly ruby-throats? Here, in a slightly more northern and much colder zone, we have hummingbirds right up into early October most years. Maybe this is due to the greater diversity and abundance of these little guys farther West? We have two species that nest locally, and two more that migrate through, most in impressive numbers. |
We have had ruby throated ones in the past, but not usually and not this year. Several years ago during one of our mild winters, we saw a hummer several times around the Christmas holidays. |
- Posted by grinchis40 Z7 Princeton TX (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 15:57
We've been seeing them much more often this past week or so. Only have two or three. Also have seen one big Monarch the other day. |
- Posted by lynnmariep86 8 DFW (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 19:02
Oddly, I never see any, but have seen one (or one at a time, not sure) over the last week. Last time was 3 days ago. I'd given up and put up the feeder this spring, so when I saw one, I got it out. By the time it was cleaned up and filled, they quit coming. |
I saw one or two hummers last evening while I was mowing the yard, though it was hard to tell with the big cloud of dirt around me. lol |
I don't see many rubies, mostly black chin. |
- Posted by beachplant 9b (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Sep 13, 12 at 11:19
we are starting to see a lot of them, over the past couple of weeks I would say so they must be starting their migration. They have been feasting on everything blooming in the yard. Tally HO! |
- Posted by lynnmariep86 8 DFW (My Page) on Sun, Sep 16, 12 at 11:50
I saw one or two yesterday. I tried to get on here to post, but the site wasn't working right. Anyway, he came by right after I put out my fresh feeder, but didn't seem interested. Hopefully he'll find it then remember my yard next year. |
I saw a few yesterday as well, and mine are never interested in the feeders when they have so much else to feed on. |
Still seeing several visits per day here at my house. They use both the feeder and then blooms. Since the rain and constant cloud cover haven't seen any butterflies at all. |
I saw a hummer yesterday and today on the feeders. They are probably visiting the flowers also, but I just don't see them. I have the feeders placed where I can see them from the kitchen. |

Edgewater Tree Barn?s trees travel from both local farms and the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina to decorate living rooms for the holiday season. On sturdy branches, the needles of the fraser and douglas firs twinkle magically under the rays of colorful Christmas tree lights. The trees range in height from 5 to 13 feet, allowing them to fit into tight corners or tower majestically in a stately living room or two-story cave. The lot also supplies wreaths, roping, and other seasonal decorating tools.
In addition to populating homes with seasonal greenery, the holiday helpers behind Edgewater Tree Barn also embody the spirit of the season through their ongoing charitable work. This year, they're collecting supplies for a local animal shelter and the pets in its care.
The botanical buffs at Joseph's Florist supply clients with fresh, sweet-smelling flora in elegant seasonal arrangements and cornucopias. The Autumn Passages bouquet ($69.99+) tastefully mixes tri-colored roses and red hypericum berries in a simple glass gold-banded vase. Alternatively, take home a Harvest Home cornucopia that bursts with roses, lilies, carnations, and eucalyptus and gracefully endures the envious glares of marshmallowed yams from across the Thanksgiving table ($39.99+). The feminine Starshine bouquet ($49.99+) and the luscious My Darling bouquet ($59.99+), packed with rich roses, Stargazer lilies, and mini carnations, allow patrons to celebrate romance year-round. A variety of gourmet gift baskets overflow with edibles from candy bars to fruits, and plants prove more manageable pets than most dogs, which must be watered twice daily.

Threonine (abbreviated as Thr or T)[2] is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH(OH)CH3. Its codons are ACU, ACA, ACC, and ACG. This essential amino acid is classified as polar. Together with serine, threonine is one of two proteinogenic amino acids bearing an alcohol group (tyrosine is not an alcohol but a phenol, since its hydroxyl group is bonded directly to an aromatic ring, giving it different acid/base and oxidative properties). It is also one of two common amino acids that bear a chiral side chain, along with isoleucine.
The threonine residue is susceptible to numerous posttranslational modifications. The hydroxyl side-chain can undergo O-linked glycosylation. In addition, threonine residues undergo phosphorylation through the action of a threonine kinase. In its phosphorylated form, it can be referred to as phosphothreonine.
It is a precursor of glycine, and can be used as a prodrug to reliably elevate brain glycine levels.
Threonine was discovered as the last of the 20 common proteinogenic amino acids in the 1930s by William Cumming Rose.
L-Threonine (2S,3R) and D-Threonine (2R,3S) |
L-allo-Threonine (2S,3S) and D-allo-Threonine (2R,3R) |
Threonine is one of two proteinogenic amino acids with two chiral centers. Threonine can exist in four possible stereoisomers with the following configurations: (2S,3R), (2R,3S), (2S,3S) and (2R,3R). However, the name L-threonine is used for one single diastereomer, (2S,3R)-2-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid. The second stereoisomer (2S,3S), which is rarely present in nature, is called L-allo-threonine. The two stereoisomers (2R,3S)- and (2R,3R)-2-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid are only of minor importance.[citation needed]
As an essential amino acid, threonine is not synthesized in humans, hence we must ingest threonine in the form of threonine-containing proteins. In plants and microorganisms, threonine is synthesized from aspartic acid via α-aspartyl-semialdehyde and homoserine. Homoserine undergoes O-phosphorylation; this phosphate ester undergoes hydrolysis concomitant with relocation of the OH group.[3] Enzymes involved in a typical biosynthesis of threonine include:
- aspartokinase
- β-aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase
- homoserine dehydrogenase
- homoserine kinase
- threonine synthase.
Threonine is metabolized in two ways:
- It is converted to pyruvate via threonine dehydrogenase. An intermediate in this pathway can undergo thiolysis with CoA to produce acetyl-CoA and glycine.
- In humans, it is converted to α-ketobutyrate in a less common pathway via the enzyme serine dehydratase, and thereby enters the pathway leading to succinyl-CoA.
Foods high in threonine include cottage cheese, poultry, fish, meat, lentils, Black turtle bean[4] and Sesame seeds.[5]
Racemic threonine can be prepared from crotonic acid by alpha-functionalization using mercury(II) acetate.[6]

Convert List of Integer Objects to primitive int array
Hi Experts,
I have started learning java recently and looking into some practice exercise. Just wante to know if there is a easy way, to convert a List of java.lang.Integer objects to array of primitive int type (not integer).
Something like List<Integer> to int []? Or I need to loop through each element in list and convert it?
Please let me know.
Please feel free to move this thread to right location just in case I have posted this in the wrong place. Thanks in advance.

No, Mr. President, You Can't Do Whatever You Want
This article appeared on on June 27, 2014.
Much as it might frustrate Barack Obama, there's no "if Congress won't act, the president gets extra powers" clause in the Constitution. The latest confirmation of that truism comes in the unanimous Supreme Court ruling in National Labor Relations Board v. Noel Canning, which invalidated the appointments our constitutional-scholar-in-chief made to the NLRB in January 2012. It turns out, the unanimous Court ruled, that the presidential power to make recess appointments — to avoid getting the Senate's "advice and consent" on federal offices — is only triggered when the Senate is actually in recess.
And so, for the 13th time since those ill-fated NLRB nominations, the Obama Justice Department has lost unanimously at the Supreme Court. In each of those cases, the government argued for a radically expansive federal — and especially executive — power and in each case not a single justice agreed. In areas of law ranging from criminal procedure (as in Wednesday's cell-phone-search ruling) to securities regulation, immigration to religious liberty, President Obama couldn't even get the votes of the justices he himself appointed, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
As Miguel Estrada commented when summarizing the solicitor general's abysmal performance last term — a win rate of 40 percent, against a historical norm of about 70 percent — "when you have a crazy client who insists you make crazy arguments, you're gonna lose some cases."
"For the 13th time since those ill-fated NLRB nominations, the Obama Justice Department has lost unanimously at the Supreme Court."
In Noel Canning, all the justices agreed that the Senate gets to determine when it's in session and when it's not. (That's an argument that Miguel Estrada made on behalf of all 45 Republican senators — you'll recall that Estrada himself declined a recess appointment to the D.C. Circuit after Democrats filibustered him for being Hispanic — and it's also what Cato argued in the brief we filed). And that's no surprise: based on oral argument, everyone was expecting the government to lose here, and lose big.
Unfortunately, the conventional wisdom (which I shared) about a narrow ruling was also proven correct. The only "rule" that emerges from Justice Breyer's controlling opinion is that a three-day recess, the longest the Senate can adjourn without the House's consent, isn't long enough to enable recess appointments. And that a recess of between three and ten days is also "presumptively" too short. That's a pragmatic decision that ratifies recent executive practice, at least that before the White House's current occupant.
It also lacks any connection to what the Constitution actually says, as Justice Scalia pointed out in a concurrence joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Thomas and Alito. The best reading of constitutional text and structure is that only recesses between Senate sessions — not when, say, Congress takes a few weeks off to watch the World Cup — count for purposes of activating the recess-appointment power. Moreover, that power is only justified to fill vacancies that arise during the recess itself — the clause refers to "vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate" — not openings that the president didn't get around to filling while the Senate was sitting.
And that makes eminent sense: The purpose of the recess-appointment power isn't to make life easier for the president, but to ensure that the government can function should high officials die or resign while the Senate is unavailable to confirm their replacements. In a world of instant communication and air travel, the Recess Appointments Clause is essentially obsolete because it's never the case that senators are unreachable out in the sticks such that they can't be called back for urgent business.
In other words, Justice Breyer's unprincipled opinion, while limiting recent presidential practice, cements a much more expansive reading of that power than the Constitution allows. Instead of having to deal with a Senate controlled by the other party — as Obama may have to soon — the president can simply wait till the next recess.
Except that Breyer's constitutional innovation will be matched by a political one. For practical purposes, we'll now see many more "pro forma" Senate sessions and also the empowerment of those who control the House — because, again, the Senate can't recess without the House's consent. Speaker Boehner, call your (or my) office.
To be sure, this ruling is a strong rebuke to this administration in this case, but the most that can be said for it more broadly is what Justice Scalia did in reading his concurrence from the bench: "The Court's decision will be cited in diverse contexts, including those presently unimagined, and will have the effect of aggrandizing the Presidency beyond its constitutional bounds and undermining respect for the separation of powers."

"An opportunity like this never would have come available to me if I had not taken the program in the Sault College/LSSU International Division," Hornblower said. "My employer was very impressed with the fact that I not only had a degree in computer networking, but the hands-on knowledge, as well. This is the main reason that I was hired."
Andrea Hornblower, '06 Network Administrator Brac Informatics Centre, Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands
The Franklin F. Otis Scholarship was established in memory of one of the charter faculty of the Sault Branch of Michigan College of Mining and Technology. Franklin spent 30 years as a mathematics professor at Lake State, including 23 years as chair of the Mathematics Department. He was the University's first faculty athletic representative, serving 12 years during the early development of the Laker athletic program. He was instrumental in the development of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) and the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) leagues in which Lake State is a member today. In 1999, Franklin Otis was posthumously inducted to the LSSU Athletic Hall of Fame for his invaluable contributions to the Laker athletic program. His named scholarship recognizes the hard-working sophomore, junior or senior enrolled in mathematics or computer and mathematical science programs. The recipient must submit a letter of application to the faculty of the mathematics department and have a minimum 2.5 overall GPA and a minimum 3.0 grade point average in mathematics or computer science courses.
Named in honor of LSSU faculty member Gerald Samson, this scholarship is awarded to a deserving computer and mathematical science major. The recipient is nominated and chosen by the mathematics faculty.
This scholarship was established in 2001 by Galen Harrison to provide full-tuition to math and computer science majors. Professor Harrison was a long-time LSSU faculty member who taught at Lake State from 1963 until his retirement in 1996.
Lighthouse.Net established the scholarship last year in celebration of ten years of service. Funding for the special scholarship through Lake Superior State University extends through 2009. The $2,500 annual scholarship is open to Lighthouse subscribers and Cloverland Electric Cooperative members who are pursuing four-year computer science degrees as full-time students.

Lighthouse.Net of Sault Ste. Marie, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cloverland Electric Cooperative, employs LSSU graduates and also provides an internship program for LSSU students enrolled in computer science.

The first component of this project involved research. The manager of the hospital IT department had a variety of topics that need to be looked into in order to keep compliant with HIPPA. Some of the areas researched were cloud storage and computation, full disk encryption (both managed and unmanaged), thin clients and VMware Viewer implementations. The second component was aiding the staff of the IT department in mission-critical activities. Computers would be setup with software, updates, and user accounts, printers would be deployed, and equipment decommissioned.

PANAJI: The Goa government on Tuesday introduced a bill to restrict purchase of agriculture land by foreigners and non agriculturists in the state of Goa.
Revenue Minister Francis D' Souza introduced the Goa land Use (regulation) (Amendment) Bill 2012, to prohibit use of the agricultural land for any purpose other than agriculture.
"In order to protect the existing agricultural land in the state of Goa, the Bill seeks to amend section 2 of the Goa Land Use (regulation) Act 1991 (Goa Act 3 of 1991), so as to prohibit use of the agricultural for any purpose other than agriculture", a clause in the bill stated.
The amendment seeks to restrict the owner of an agricultural land from transferring such land in favour of any persons, including foreigners, other than agriculturists.
Scarcity of land for construction, especially in the coastal belt, is posing a threat to agricultural land. Large tracts of cultivable land have been converted for housing, despite existing rules.

Program to help GPS track autistic children
By: Deven Clarke
DUBOIS, Pa. -- Parents of children who have autism are no different from other parents in wanting one thing: To keep their children safe. Parents with autistic children admit, it can sometimes be harder for them, and a big challenge is keeping their kids from wandering off.
The federal government recently released money to help parents of autistic children get GPS trackers to put on their children. Individually, they cost between $80 and $130, but adding up data plan costs, it can be expensive.
Parents said it's a good start, but it's still not enough.
The issue is real for people like Stacy Hanzely, of DuBois. She is the mother of five children and two of them are identical twin boys who have autism and Down syndrome. Hanzely said she has had her children wander away despite taking precautions.
"We have fenced in our backyard, we have door alarms on," she said. "Even with those barriers, they left."
Hanzley's sons were found uninjured, but these stories don't always have good endings.
In New York City last year, the story about Avonte Oquendo got national attention. He was a teenager with autism, who ran through open doors at his school. Oquendo's body was found months later, on a beach.
Oquendo's story brought attention to the problem parents and care givers of children with autism face. They say that these children can get over stimulated, panicked and scared easily, or they can gravitate toward something that captures their attention. They can do so without understanding the danger.
Since Oquendo's story, New York Sen. Charles Schumer has proposed Avonte's Law a plan to get more money available for GPS tracking devices so families can find their lost children quicker. The national program will cost about $10 million.
"I've actually looked into getting something like that for my son," said Kelly King, of DuBois, whose 15-year-old son is autistic. "I know that has been a successful tool for a lot of families, and just gives them the reassurance to know that their child can be located."
Data from the National Autism Association shows that 49 percent of autistic children wander off. That is four times higher than their siblings that do not have autism.
Through a new grant program, Avonte's Law would allow local police departments to provide parents with a GPS device. Some devices can be linked to a smartphone, tablet or computer. In addition to helping locate a missing child and notifying the parent when that child has stepped out of set parameters, they can send an alert to notify the parent their child is near a registered sex offender.
Another study by the National Autism Association showed that nearly half of children with autism attempt to leave a safe environment.
While parents of children with autism admit GPS devices could help locate a missing child, they said this isn't the end all solution to keeping them safe.
"Unfortunately there are some areas where that tracking device may not be adequate because of poor cellular service," King said.
Uzma Shah, of DuBois, has an autistic 14-year-old son, but is wary of the technology.
"Technology can often fail," Shah said. "We're in a rural part of the state."
Most parents agreed, saying the best way to protect their children is simple, it's about having more people helping to watch over them.
"A lot of kids, particularly while they're at school, have [a] one to one aide or a TSS (Therapeutic Support Staff) who is working with them and having an adult set of eyes on our kids," Uzma said.
But such support costs money.
There have been cuts nationally and at the state level to TSS and aide programs, parents said. Many students who had full-time aides like Angie Witherow, no longer have them in the classroom.
"I've been a TSS for 10 years," Witherow said. "Through the years, my hours have gone down due to budget cuts and funding from the state."
The U.S. Department of Justice recently agreed to use government funds to provide the GPS devices to special needs children.
"I would just say, it's about time and I really appreciate the efforts of lawmakers to make these available," King said.

After August 15, the Google Play store will no longer allow new downloads of Adobe's Flash player software, and Flash will be entirely unsupported on Android 4.1, which Google unveiled earlier this week at the Google I/O event in San Francisco, where they also launched the Nexus 7 tablet, the first to ship with Android 4.1.
If you need Flash on your devices, you've got until August 15 to download a copy. After the cutoff date, existing installs will continue to be eligible for updates, but new devices will not be able to download the mobile versions of Flash.
Developers will continue to have access to archived versions of the software, but Adobe cautions against running Flash on Android 4.1 devices.
According to Adobe, "if a device is upgraded from Android 4.0 to Android 4.1, the current version of Flash Player may exhibit unpredictable behavior, as it is not certified for use with Android 4.1. Future updates to Flash Player will not work." They recomend uninstalling Flash on any devices running Android 4.1, including the Nexus 7.
When Steve Jobs announced that the then-new iPhone wouldn't support Adobe's Flash, naysayers predicted the lack of Flash would cripple Apple's mobile platform. Instead, the iPhone, and the iPad that followed, were runaway hits. While Adobe initially pushed back at Jobs' critique, Flash has come under increasing fire for instability and heavy power requirements, both of which make it challenging on mobile platforms. Adobe eventually started to shift its focus to HTML 5 and Air apps.

Student Financial Aid Database Being Misused
Many sources at work here (182 comments)
There are massive databases that track people and a subsets of those that track students and alumni. I wouldn't say that the NSLC is the only source of data. Almost every large school and community college has a bank with a branch on campus promoted through the school and they will sell your information and data. When you graduate and leave school you usually get on an alumni list that in turn feeds other sources, and so on, and so on. State and federal agencies also get data feeds from colleges (other than NSLC). If your college uses a service to clean up names and addresses, well guess who now has a name, address and part of a social security number in some cases? Yup, that organization and the database they use/feed, and the database its uses/feeds, all the way up to the big database. Guess who also uses the big database; mass marketers.
The point is, once your name gets in a list then the spam will come and mass marketing will come. And that list never gets updated with info like you graduated, or dropped out, etc.; you're just a name and they will continue to spam you even if you've moved, got a jobs, paid your loans or even died in a car crash.
I'm not advocating any of this but it is simple a fact. Once you are a student there are a number of ways you can end up on a list and many of them are uncontrolled and some the college in question is legally required to use/feed.
Oh and the only way to get rid of a social security number as a means of identification is to provide a better universal ID. Seriously.

Buffet sampler ($4.99 per pound, without churrasco): okra, chicken rolled around spinach and rice, and feijão tropeiro. In their original form these "cattleman's beans" provided sustenance during long horseback expeditions; nowadays the basic combo of beans, toasted manioc flour, and nubbins of bacon or sausage are often enhanced, as here, by bits of fried egg and greens, perhaps collards.

Khichiri, a forebear of the Egyptian koshary and the British kedgeree, is a South Asian preparation of rice and lentils with many variations. Turmeric probably takes credit for the hue of this bhuna khichuri (with beef curry, $7.50 total), which traditionally is colored and seasoned with a paste of dry-fried spices, though roasted yellow mung beans are also a common ingredient. For this khichuri, the Bangladeshi chef has set an intact chili pepper on top to signal that more are hidden below.

Getting the spice level right is a point of contention between many Southeast Asian restaurants and the New Yorkers who love them. Often the chow delivers less of a kick than some of us would like. This series of audio guides, whose purview stretches elsewhere into Asia as well as to East Africa and Latin America, is one compensatory measure.
No such entreaties were needed, however, for lunch specials of nasi lemak ($11.75) and beef rendang ($13.95) at this Malaysian-run cafe. (The staff are from Kuala Lumpur, and their most enticing menu items have roots there, too, but much of the menu is devoted to savories in the spirit of a cobb salad or a bacon cheeseburger.) My dining buddy and I quickly agreed that a little dish of hot sauce on the side was superfluous; most everything but the coconut rice was imbued with a generous but not incendiary spiciness.
Also shown: kaya toast ($2.75). This version of the coconut egg jam was smooth, easy to spread, and on the sweeter side — which is to say, very much to my taste.

The poppy-seed bagel that frames "The Sinatra" ($7.35) adds a chewy counterpoint to Genoa salami, ham, pepperoni, provolone, lettuce, and roasted peppers, dressed with oil and vinegar. Toasting the bagel first might be pushing your luck; this Italian-American-Jewish mashup strikes the right balance exactly as served.

Order your pizza well-done. That's good advice at Sac's, where the thin crust, a hallmark of coal-oven pizzerias, might otherwise sag precariously under the liberally applied toppings. "Mama's old-fashioned pie" (medium, $14) was laden with San Marzano tomatoes, romano and fresh mozzarella cheeses, and crumbled bits of homemade meatballs ($2.50 extra) almost to a fault; it was difficult to detect the garlic and fresh basil.
Charring a coal-oven pizza also adds an ineffable extra something that cooler-burning gas-fired units can't deliver. This is less important along the lip than on the underside, in the middle of the pie, where one takes many more bites. In that second photo, note too the white speck, which at first I tried to brush away; it's actually a sparkle of light leaking through. As mentioned, thin crust.
Weightier still: melanzane rollotini ($9.95).
Sac's Place25-41 Broadway (at 29th St.), Astoria, Queens718-204-5002www.SacsPlace.com
This snug bakery-cafe takes great pride in its "famous loukoumades," deep-fried pastries that are a staple of Greek church fairs. Sometime loukoumades are shaped into balls, sometimes (as at Cafe Boulis) into dainty rings; inevitably they're soaked in syrup or honey.
Karydopita ($3) gets a similar soaking, but to different effect. The syrup settles, leaving the upper reaches of this walnut cake merely moist and the top surface almost crunchy. Even in bites without a walnut, you get a nice variety of textures.
Cafe Boulis30-15 31st Ave. (30th-31st Sts.), Astoria, Queens718-806-1014www.CafeBoulis.com
Pastizzi ($1.50) are savory phyllo pastries native to Malta, a Mediterranean island country not far south of Sicily. Ricotta, you will not be surprised to hear, is one common filling. Another, shown here, may have been introduced during a century-and-a-half of British rule: beef and mushy peas. (For that matter, one wonders about a possible connection between the names of the Maltese pastizz and the Cornish pastie.)
Most of Leli's wares hail from the European mainland, but several other items are also prepared daily for Astoria's Maltese community. Qassatat (with a silent Q), open-topped shortcrust pastries with the same fillings as the pastizzi, appear during breakfast hours, though on the day of my visit they'd already vanished by lunchtime. Anchovies don't figure into the pastizzi or the qassatat as sometimes in Malta, but they do appear on what the menu board calls a "Maltese pizza," accompanied by ricotta, lima beans, capers, olives, and potatoes. Ample cafe seating would enable you to divvy up your pizza on the spot.

Gramercy Tavern
Photo Credit: Nicole Franzen
Perfect For
42 E. 20th St.
New York, NY 10003212-477-0777
Since the early days of this site, we've professed our love for Gramercy Tavern. If someone were to ask us to put together a list (people love lists) of once-in-a-lifetime meals that we'd like to eat many, many times in our lifetimes, the tasting menu at this legendary restaurant would be near the top. There aren't many better Fine Dining experiences in this city – or even the world – especially when it comes to service and atmosphere.
But I didn't just spend a day updating our original review from 2010 to tell you something you already know. The Infatuation saying that Gramercy Tavern is good probably isn't going to be the breaking news for the day on the new 24 hour food news channel from Rupert Murdoch and Paula Deen (you laugh, but it could happen). I'm here instead to tell you that you aren't eating at the Gramercy Tavern bar enough.
For those of you who are not already aware/frequenting it weekly, Gramercy Tavern not only has a great bar, but the bar is essentially a whole different restaurant. A beautiful, more casual restaurant with an a la carte menu and insanely good food. As a matter of fact, we haven't had a meal in the main dining room here since sometime in 2012, but we've hit the bar a dozen times since then. You'll find the same level of service, the same quality of food, and a much more relaxed atmosphere than what goes on in the big boy room.
Now that I think about it, since I've done the once-in-a-lifetime meal at Gramercy Tavern twice already, I might not need to do it again. But I'll come for bowl of pasta and a beer until the day I die.
Food Rundown
Chilled Corn Soup
A regular on both the tasting and the bar menu, and for good reason. This soup is amazing.
Fire Roasted Carrots, Sunflower Seeds, Pickled Ramps and Buckwheat
God damn, are these good carrots. Cooked on the big open flame that you'll see from your seat in the bar area, these are served with sunflower seeds and some other delicious things, depending on the season. Get some.
Ricotta Cavatelli
I love the pasta at Gramercy Tavern, regardless of what room they serve them in. You will too.
Cheese Kielbasa
If this sausage with rye spaetzle and sauerkraut is on the menu, you want it. It's hearty, but not so big it will take you down. Doable for lunch even.
Arctic Char
This char comes with a broth and all kinds of green stuff like dill and kale. Probably our favorite fish item.
Red Snapper
Served Mediterranean style, with fennel and olives. Salty and citrusy in all the right ways.
Roasted Lamb & Braised Shoulder
There's always a good balance of fish to meat on the Gramercy Tavern tasting menu, and everything they do with lamb will blow your mind. Choose wisely, but probably choose this.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
3 He was despised and rejected -- a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we did not care. | 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. |
