Dear Editor:
Some of our Congressmen bend over back words for the welfare of illegal immigrants, while they continue to maintain that our government cannot afford health care for our military retirees and other veterans. They will readily cut our warriors benefits and rights, but never consider maintaining tight control of our borders to keep illegals out.
Think about this. How do we know the illegals are not perpetrating acts of terrorism by carrying deadly virus' in their bodies on purpose, knowing that our bleeding heart liberals will take care of their health needs in our clinics and hospitals, thereby possibly exposing our citizens to a myriad of diseases. After all, most terrorist don't give a tinkers damn about their own lives - as constantly demonstrated by suicide bombings.
We should all demand enforcement of the laws to keep America safe by placing our own citizen's safety and welfare before that of people who do not belong here. Legal immigrants - yes! Illegal immigrants - no!
If our present Congress and Administration cannot do this, let's press for the ballot changes necessary to find those who will keep things in compliance.

text: I think AP deserve to be the MVP this season. He is coming off of an ACL injury, and he has had an absolutely remarkable season. Him leading his team to a playoff berth at the beginning of the season wasn't on anyone's mind. Peyton Manning had a fantastic season too, but could anyone honestly say that didn't see Peyton leading the Broncos to an AFC west title. His performance didn't surprise anyone, but AP's did. Kudos to you AP!

I checked my late summer split nucs today and a few need some extra stores. I am wondering when I put in one gallon of 2:1 in the frame feeder how much that will convert to in caped frames of stores?
I checked my late summer split nucs today and a few need some extra stores. I am wondering when I put in one gallon of 2:1 in the frame feeder how much that will convert to in caped frames of stores?
One quart of 1:1 on mini mating nucs this summer with half size deep frames gave me one mini frame, each side 1/3 full..
It would depend on if they are still feeding brood or not. If they are just storing it I'd guess a gallon of 2:1 would do a single standard deep frame if it was already drawn out both sides.
So if you need four frames of additional feed-it should take about 4-5 gallons of 2:1

10 lbs. added to hive weight.
Raising Vermont Bees one mistake at a time.
USDA Zone 5A
How could something that doesnt weigh 10 lbs, add 10 lbs of weight? Or does a gallon of syrup weigh more than a gallon of any other liquid? Or are you calling a gallon of 2:1, 1 gallon of water with 8 lbs of sugar added to it, which would weigh around 16lbs. But is more than a gallon. Steve
2:1 syrup weighs almost as much as honey.
Which is how much a gallon?
about 12lbs per gallon
Ok then a gallon of honey weighs 12lbs, so then I guess that a gallon of 2:1 weighs close to 12lbs also.
I think I did a rough calc on 1:1 the other day sfisher, it was about 10lbs. I made a liter and it was 600g each sugar/water that made 1 liter volume.
Also consider the reduction in weight when the syrup is cured by the bees. They will reduce the moisture content to about 17% before capping. Someone may know exactly what the percentage difference might be, but I would guess you would end up with 7-8 lbs of "capped" nectar per gallon of syrup fed. That is assuming they are not consuming any of it.
To everything there is a season....
Maple syrup at 67 brix weighs 11 pounds. 2:1 is about 65 brix. So a gallon of 2:1 is about 11 pounds. Honey is 82 brix. The extra moisture in 2:1 has to be evaporated, which is part of the weight. Also, there must be a little shrinkage or consumption by the bees. So, I figure a gallon of 2:1 adds 8-10 pounds.
Thanks all for the answers! I assume some loss/shrinkage to feeding, but it is helpfull to know a target quantity of syrup to end up with an aprox. # of capped frames.
This is just how I do it. Small batch. Easier to handle.
Gallon of water weighs 8 lbs and some change. Ten lbs of sugar weighs,,,,,,,,,,,,LOL ten lbs, so, you need five pounds of water. Half a gallon (two quarts) weighs four pounds. I take a quart Mason jar and fill it to the top twice. It's close enough. The bees will process it to their moisture needs. If they took all the water out, and they don't, you would have 10 lbs. My deeps when full of honey weigh around 10 lbs. (more or less) What I figure, is every ten lbs of sugar syrup will give the bees at least one deep full.

Canadian relief for Moore tornado victims denied at border
A Canadian shipment of relief goods bound for storm-ravaged Oklahoma has been stopped at the Canada-U.S. border in Windsor, Ont.
American officials will not allow the 20,000 kilograms of food, blankets and diapers into the country until every item on board is itemized in alphabetical order and has the country of origin of every product noted.
Canadian relief for Moore tornado victims denied at border - Windsor - CBC News
I will make a donation too that Church.. Glad all your family made it through without injury.. Spread the word of that delayed shipment.. Thank you President Nappy..
Add: Oh and the truck is a bit overweight, like who the frig cares.. So they even want them to take stuff off it.. Incredible..

This is the seventh adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel. He's almost become a romantic drama sub-genre, so it will come as a great comfort to many, a disappointment to some, and a surprise to no one, that Safe Haven follows a familiar narrative and features plenty of Sparks' trademark romantic moments.
At the helm is Swedish director Lasse Hallstrom, who is familiar with the Sparks oeuvre having directed previous Sparks' box office hit Dear John. The plot involves two devastatingly good looking people who meet, frolic in a rain shower and fall in love, only to face a hurdle they must overcome so they can live happily ever after.
To be fair, it's slightly more complicated.
Safe Haven begins with a bloody, terrified young woman running from a house. Helped by a neighbour she cuts and dyes her hair and skips town on a bus, ending up in a sleepy seaside town in North Carolina where the sun shines and the people are accepting. Though initially she keeps to herself she's eventually drawn into a romantic relationship with local widower Alex (Duhamel), and befriends an unusual loner, a woman called Jo (Cobie Smulders).
The relationship hurdle comes in the form of Detective Tierney (David Lyons), who has been pursuing Katie since the house incident. As Tierney closes in on Katie her dark secret is revealed through flashbacks, and it's clear the past needs to be resolved before Katie and Alex can frolic on a more permanent basis.
The set-up and twists and turns of this story are pretty easy to detect, (with one possible exception), so the success of Safe Haven comes down to the chemistry between the lead characters. Luckily then, in particular given the lengthy running time, Hough (Rock of Ages) and her considerably taller co-star Duhamel (Transformers) smoulder commendably on screen.
If you're a fan of Sparks, and like-minded feel-good romantic dramas, Safe Haven will deliver what you know and love; everyone else should be well warned by now.
Stars: 3/5
Cast: Julianne Hough, Josh Duhamel
Director: Lasse Hallstrom
Running time: 115 mins
Verdict: Another typical Nicholas Sparks adaptation

Everyone Is Getting High in Public
<p>Many e-cigarettes, especially in those states with relatively lax laws on weed, are filled to the brim with THC. </p>
While some may be worrying about hashish-related accidents, others are rejoicing because for the first time ever, potheads might not have to be paranoid.
E-cigs, or "electronic nicotine delivery systems," as the kids call them, are usually tobacco-free, battery-powered vaporizers that look like pens. They have changed the tobacco game forever as millions of chain-smokers are turning to a hopefully safer alternative to get their fix with the click of a button. And in public spaces, too! Have you been to a bar lately and seen folks whip out their electronic cigarettes? Keep an eye on their eyes, because they're probably getting squintier with every puff.
Many of these magic vape pens, especially in those states with relatively lax laws on weed, are in fact filled to the brim with THC. (THC is not an acronym for The History Channel, though many sources have confirmed it enhances a History Channel viewing experience.) What's more, the electric pens, small enough to fit in your pocket, recharge via a USB cord so that folks can plug their pot into their computer.
These marijuana e-cigarettes might be a bit worrisome—or perhaps wonderful if you're suffering from glaucoma or sobriety—not just due to their convenience but also due to their power. Weed e-cigs are on another, literally higher, level of potency than today's normal weed—which already, according to the Marijuana Potency Project's Dr. Mahmoud ElSohly, on average has about 13 percent more THC content than the stuff that made our parents cough in 1972. In fact, many worry that the potheads of this generation are truly serving as the guinea pigs for any research on the long-term effects of marijuana. Like, outrageously high guinea pigs.
When you're at a club and a song comes on with some rapper bragging about how dank his dope is, it's probably not even as strong as the stuff people are inhaling from the vape pens inside the club. That's because the e-cigs are loaded with pure THC oil or wax, which is about as concentrated as cannabis can get.
So not only is it a harder drug, it's a harder drug to crack down on than that old-fashioned "lighting a plant on fire" route of getting stoned. It's nearly impossible to detect the smell, it's hard to prove it's not the standard nicotine e-cigarette and it's easier to conceal than a flask. My kids won't just be hot-boxing their college dorms with these pens, they'll be constantly getting away with it. That's why cops around the country, and now elected officials, are publicly freaking out about people publicly chilling out.
As of the last couple of months, some local news outlets are slowly becoming aware of the trend. In fact, Wisconsin's Fox Cities officially banned e-cigarettes at the end of January, citing the practice of replacing nicotine with THC oil as a factor. One month prior, the Los Angeles City Council moved to regulate the e-cigarettes since the feds weren't, while CBS L.A. reported that both middle and high schoolers in Orange County had been using them to get high in class. One student approximated that "at least one out of two kids in school have one."
Look around. People are getting high in restaurants, stores, airport terminals and apparently even in class. In Pineapple Express, James Franco's Golden Globe-nominated weed dealer turns to Seth Rogen's character and holds up a triple-sided joint. "This is it man," he says. "This is what your grandchildren are gonna be smoking. Future. That future." But between PDFs and weed going electronic, I wouldn't be investing my money in (rolling) paper anytime soon.
In fact, we can turn to the same two guys for proof. Franco and Rogen recently appeared in a Rolling Stone cover story structured around the interviewers offering hits of what they called the "e-joint" to all interviewees at a public lunch place (Danny McBride and Seth Rogen puffed, James Franco and Jonah Hill passed). The piece concludes with Rogen telling the reporters how to easily get the vape pen past airport security and that he has one at home (although he literally runs off with it in the end). But when it comes to e-weed celebrity endorsements, Snoop Dogg/Lion takes the cake with his own line of G-Pen Herbal Vaporizers. He even gave one to Conan O'Brien on TV this past Christmas.
So someday, when we have to punish our future stoned teenagers, it might be because they're toking, but not necessarily smoking. Until then, as the FDA debates the legalities of e-cigarettes, stay clear of that driver with the "nicotine" e-cig in his mouth and enjoy the rest of Uncle Sam's semester abroad in Amsterdam.

What is it? A new, next-generation bowling lounge with 12 tenpin bowling lanes, split into three areas, plus a miniature-style game on a mezzanine floor. There's music on big screens and, unlike traditional lanes, it's a swanky setup with leather seats where you can sit, order food, drink alcohol and bowl at the same time.
What's needed? Shoes included in bowling prices.
The experience: "Bowling is the perfect equaliser," says Metrolanes manager Chris Haynes. "When we have a corporate group come in, full of say, panelbeaters, then it's the office lady that usually wins because it's not about strength, it's about technique."
Chris is ranked No2 New Zealand in the sport so Metrolanes is a great place to learn bowling because you can pick Chris' brain about technique - he doesn't mind. If he's on a day off, then ask assistant manager Pete Richardson for some pointers. He's a two-time national champion.
Among the tips Chris gives me is to put my thumb and third and fourth fingers in a ball that's comfortable to hold - balls are different colours and weights.
I should position my thumb towards the middle of the lane and roll the ball over the middle arrow on the lane. I then adjust my throw, slightly left or right, depending on where I want to hit any remaining pins.
Chris tells me he's been keen on the sport since he was a teen, a time when players had to manually set up the pins for each turn. The 35-year-old remembers getting paid, as a kid, enough to buy a chocolate bar to set up the pins when his parents played.
Back then, his sister won a bowling trophy and this spurred his hunger to be a winner, too.
He loves that there's no referee and "you either knock down the pins or you don't", and says it's an individual challenge to beat your own personal best.
So I try out Metrolanes, with my husband, Damien, and friends Mike and Noreen, and we enjoy relaxing and having a drink, listening to music and commenting on each others' efforts.
We all roughly get 20 shots a game.
After a bit, Noreen and I wonder why the guys' fast throws, using heavy balls, seem to be blitzing our efforts and so we decide to follow suit. Noreen picks up the heaviest ball she can and laughs when she sees "smart ball" written on it. This ball gets a strike and she says: "Yep, that's a smart ball all right."
I follow her lead and barely lift a heavy ball to the lane, looking like a lopsided loon. But the ball doesn't do too bad. I keep up this tactic until my bowling appears to go backwards. Then I revert back to using the small, light, pink ball, which is easier to throw, and I start to get better results.
But in the end the guys beat the girls, with Damien topping the scoreboard.
Our group then tries out the miniature bowling area where you throw red balls (that fit in the palm of your hand) down shorter lanes. Here, you need a different technique again but it's essentially the same game. I love this shrunk-in-the-wash game, it's novel. But the others reckon you can't beat the big bowling lanes here.
And Chris was right about the final results not diminishing anyone's fun. It's all about an individual's pursuit of the perfect shot, which remains elusive to me.
How much? Regular bowling before 5pm: one game $13, two games $21. After 5pm, one game $15, two games $23. Mezzanine bowling before 5pm: one game $8, two games $14. After 5pm, one game $10, two games $17. Family membership and corporate rates available.
Worth it? Fun entertainment, gets you moving.
Try it: Metrolanes, 291-297 Queen St, Auckland, Ph 0800 10 PINS, facebook.com/metrolanes

New to this type of sight, and want some advice. I like the concept and the style but do t wanna dump $600 into one and not like it. Would mount atop my Colt mp15.. if not this, any other suggestions!?

Also, I was told that certain Res dot systems offer a feature that keeps the dot from floating.g? Not sure if I'm explaining this correctly but I.suppose that wherever your eye is, the red dot is ON target??.
Certain hunting Scopes call this "speed dot"..if this helps at all
Some of the older guys have told me that the pixels mess with their eyes. This might be what you are referring too.
The model 512, I had 2 of them. I liked them but not enough to turn down the offer that I got for them. One thing that I found to be pretty cool was with the dot sighted at 100, if I held the bottom of the circle on the steel plate at 600, she'd ring almost everytime.
I don't know if they were designed that way or if it was a fluke but worked well.
I think I know what you mean, I forget the proper name for it but I'm sure someone will give it.Quote:

But basically while your looking into the sight and you move the rifle a little or your head and the dot appears to move a little (lets say to the left side), the round will still hit where the dot is.
And yes, the Eotechs have this feature, that's one of the reasons for the cost.
These are very nice sights, I've seen them already with the glass cracked and they still functioned.
Also do a google search on "fake Eotech", there are chinese knock offs that look like the real thing and only minor things help you id them
no they are not equal the 512's are not night vision compatable so i will pass, the 522's are, expect to pay through the nose. I see used ones for sale all the time at ar-15.com
I picked up a few aimpoint m-4's over there a while back at a real good price, you have to check in twice a day
snooze you lose
I've tried them in the past and liked them OK, but let mine go in a heart beat when someone offered me almost what I paid for it.
IMO there not worth the money unless your in the need of a sight that will hold up to doing daily assault missions,and this probably won't apply to you. I've found that a cheap 39-49 dollar Tasco red dot will do the same thing for the average Joe. I've had mine on several different guns and primarily use mine on my 12 ga turkey gun with maximum loads. I have had the same one for about 15 years and it has taken all the abuse of hunting and everything hunting conditions can hand out year after year with out a single failure. Hell I just changed the original battery just last year,,, WOW, now that's good battery life if you ask me!!!
There not as compact as the Eotech's, or as "Maul Ninja" correct as a them, but they work well and are available at a reasonable price. I for one wouldn't waist my bucks on a Eotech one, when the 30 or 40 mm Tasco's will do the same thing for the average guy.
But if you're part of the "L L Bean bunch,, that can only have top shelf stuff,,,,, go for it, it's your money. I'll stick to the tried and true Tasco red dots myself, nothing gets much more abuse than my turkey gun and it's used in conditions ranging from well below 0 degrees to pouring rain and 90 degrees,,, and everything in between,, and that's after bouncing around on the wheeler or getting dropped in the bottom of the boat a hundred times. Never had a single failure of any type with it yet in over 15 years, and if I do I'll just send it back under the lifetime warren-tee.
Aimpoints only have a year warren-tee on them and there repair cost are ridiculous besides, I have 2 of them that failed ,,, that I bought after the Tasco BTW,,, both failed within 3 years and they want more to repair them than I initially paid for them from the start,,, give me a break!! So I stay away from those myself, for those reasons,,just me.
That's just my 2 cents on them. Yes the Tasco is not a reflex sight per'sa but it will do the same job,,,just ask all the dead turkeys ,ducks and deer in this area , they didn't notice the difference!!!
I like EOTechs But I would suggest the OPMOD from Optics Planet:
OPMOD EOTech EXPS 2 Holosights EXPS2-0 OPMOD/ EXPS2-2 OPMOD L3 Eotech Red Dot Scopes Limited Edition
Tehy are pretty good. They have the dual dot reticle that I am quite a fan of it's just me. They thing about EOTechs is they are all set up for different types of setups and shooting methods, but unless you follow them and know what each one excels at (which I admit I am no expert I just know what I know) you will be lossed in the sauce.
I am an optics whore though so I have tried many and just went with the Trijicon ACOG TA-31F on my favorite AR, but I would never wish the cost of that on anybody. If Battery life is of any interest might I suggest the Aimpoint PRO? Longer Battery Life, same function, less $$$.
damn optics and batteries!
didn't alan jackson have a song about eotechs?
something about being carzy for a eo-techs! gona by me an eotech and movie on down the line!---LOL
if batteries are your concern and they can be!!! with these types of sights. go with the Mepro M-21 they do not require batteries, these are israeli, there troops use them.
I have one set on my ar, this puppy works like a dream. I have others red dots ( aimpoints, primary arms M-3 clone, etc) but these are nice sights and they are relatively cheap, if a club member at sportsmans guide, you have a choice of reticles also
Mepro is def cool, Didnt know about that one, thanks for the tip!
ACOG is CRAZY expensive, damn! Not sure if I need that much scope?

What other truck mounted cranes are being used for beekeeping? If a Ezyloader cost $25K I need to find something more in my price range.
What other truck mounted cranes are being used for beekeeping? If a Ezyloader cost $25K I need to find something more in my price range.
its worth the money,
easy to use. the auto level is a must
for 15K I pull around a trailer and skid steer with forks! The other 10K is still in the bank!
The Ezloader must be for a rather specialized use.... one that I am not familiar with. I know our 10K trailer + 753 cost more like 12K. But then again there may be some specialized reasons for the EZloader these days... maybe Ian would like to list a few - I am sure he has his reasons.
I am actually shopping around for a trailer and skidsteer, then I saw the EZloader and thought maybe that would be cool until I saw the price, I am back shopping for my skid steer

There are a lot of Payne loaders in back lots. All of their parts are available or buildable. A truck mounted loader has its place in small operations. A used Payne would be worth $1 to 3 thousand.
I have seen a lot of old kelly boom loaders ...sitting around, too, (actually called kelly beehive loader I think, they may even still carry parts). Also another brand is fischer (sp) loader.
I have switched to the escape board to clear bees, the loader allows me to lift the honey over the board, and then off the hive on to the truck without any effort.
I have a guy that has worked with me for a number of years. At the end of the first pull, he told me , "Ian, kinda feels like we are cheating"
No lifting, no blowers, no fume boards.
just a bit slower running escape boards as compaired to 5 guys and fume boards
In stead of hiring off shore help this year to take off my honey, I bought in the esyloader and hired a couple of kids. Works for my operation. We run 750 hives for honey
I dont have off shore help either. Instead its just my leaf blower my skid steer and my back. Bee escapes for 750 hives is interesting. Not to get too off topic but tell us how long does it take to set that up and get all the bees out of the supers?
I can see the nice funcationality of the truck lifts and considered buying a truck with a lift a few years back when I lived in KC but I never did it, bought the skid steer instead. I guess we all make our business decisions based upon what we expect out of it.
I only ran 300 hives and a truck loader worked fine for me with 5 moves per year. I started in bees with a weak back (not smart) and would set my yards where in the spring and fall I could sit on one hive and work the next. During our heavy honey flows I found if I Under supered, I would make more honey. With the crane, I could lift 2,3 or 4 supers off with no exertion and slide an empty under. For inspection when they start getting heavy in the fall, I can pop the top box off and inspect and medicate. Push the button, no lifting.
Those are my reasons for a truck crane. Try that with a fork lift. My loader loaded 2 hives at a time on the truck, so it took 4 times longer than a fork lift to load the truck. BUT on California's poooor highways, I am not restricted to the destroyed right two lanes with truck and crane.
>> leaf blower my skid steer and my back
ya, thats was my set up
>>tell us how long does it take to set that up and get all the bees out of the supers?
I set four yards of 32 one day, pull them off the next, extract the following. The avaliability of boxes restricts how many yards I can pull each day. IF I get into a good rythem, I can have supers in the honey house for rain days. As the pull progresses, and I accumulate more boxes, I will set until I run out of equipment, pull till the hot room is full, and extract. This year I extracted 120000 lbs in twenty or so days during the pull
I change over one box, and leave the hives over the escape boards 1 or 2 nights. At the beginning I needed 2 nights, but as things went on, I found most bees had left after one night. And by that I mean 85-90%
The escape boards follow all the same rules as puling with other methods. If there is brood up there, no bees leave. Also any cracks in the upper supers will cause problems with robbing. I found out the hard way.
ONe point to mention, if your honey supers have had brood in them, even as far back as last season, the bees will be slow to clear
How many supers are you pulling from 4 yards?
average 3-4 per hive, probably much the same as you supering habits
change over one during the first pull, add another, and pull 1-2 on second pull, and one on third if there is a late flow
What I was wondering is how many supers were you collecting from the 4 yards at one time? How many hours does it take to put the escapes on 4 yards and how many hours to collect the supers?
3-4 supers per hive on 32 hive yards, 4-6 yards setting one day, pulling after one night or two. Its a bit slower than humping boxes. This is my first year using the boards. I have learnt alot of tricks to quicken things up. Looking towards next year, I will be on the same pace if not quicker than humping boxes. Timing is alot of it. But you can also look at it this way. Its alot easier to deal with weather issues. If you set all your boxes, and it rains. Pick them up after the rain. no worry about setting boxes into a down pour
You cant beat 5 guys pulling boxes off a yard. This machine used with the escape boards is not going to keep up to that pace. But if you can pull and extract an average of 1-2 yards per day ( 1st pull honey volume) your looking at 12-14 days to tackle 25 yards and barrel 75000 lbs of first pull honey. Thats what I did anyway. I want to try to cut that time down to 10 days.
I have my hives set up on two hive migratory style pallets. Today I set out from the dinner table at 1, and was back at the yard with 80 hives from two yards 6 miles apart by 3:30. Its how I am moving all my hives now. Makes better use of my investment.
I dont think its what you migratory beekeepers would use. Lifting a 4 way is right to its max, and I know two ways arnt as handly loading semi trailers. If you got the guys anyway, why invest in a lift machine, right?
I searched on CraigsList and found a used AutoCrane for $3K. Mounting cost another K. Mounted it right front (rather than rear) so I can still pull a gooseneck.
Can you please supply more details of your crane, pic's would be nice
Try the new crane made by a small company in France.
It's a reliable engine, easy to handle.
Ask them for a translation of their brochure, they speak English
I'm still building my operation and using a hydrolic tailgate on a 8 1/2' X 15' deck and using a cart to move the bees. I most certianly am looking forward to the day when I can mount an eziloader to make life not only 'ezier' but much more fun.

SEIU protesters descend on bank exec's home, terrifying his son
posted at 10:16 pm on May 21, 2010 by Allahpundit
Big Journalism has been all over this, including the odd detail that D.C. cops evidently escorted the Purple People-Beaters to the Bank of America executive's home in Rockville, Maryland. Fox News regular Nina Easton was on the scene, with good reason: She lives right next door. Quote:
Last Sunday, on a peaceful, sun-crisp afternoon, our toddler finally napping upstairs, my front yard exploded with 500 screaming, placard-waving strangers on a mission to intimidate my neighbor, Greg Baer. Baer is deputy general counsel for corporate law at Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500), a senior executive based in Washington, D.C. And that — in the minds of the organizers at the politically influential Service Employees International Union and a Chicago outfit called National Political Action — makes his family fair game.
Waving signs denouncing bank "greed," hordes of invaders poured out of 14 school buses, up Baer's steps, and onto his front porch. As bullhorns rattled with stories of debtor calls and foreclosed homes, Baer's teenage son Jack — alone in the house — locked himself in the bathroom. "When are they going to leave?" Jack pleaded when I called to check on him…
Now this event would accurately be called a "protest" if it were taking place at, say, a bank or the U.S. Capitol. But when hundreds of loud and angry strangers are descending on your family, your children, and your home, a more apt description of this assemblage would be "mob." Intimidation was the whole point of this exercise, and it worked-even on the police. A trio of officers who belatedly answered our calls confessed a fear that arrests might "incite" these trespassers.
According to Easton, Baer is … a lifelong Democrat. For her trouble in reporting on this, she's naturally been smeared by the left. As for why SEIU is singling out Bank of America for thug tactics, supposedly it's a protest of foreclosures by banks generally but Big Journalism notes that the union apparently owes BoA $90 million, which, per Easton, means $4 million in outstanding interest and fees. Terrorizing an exec's family might make them think twice about being too insistent in collecting. Click the second image below to watch.

What I did
The boat takes us out to sea. There are about 15 on our boat and it takes about 20 min to get to our first stop. Its a stretch of beach inhabited by monkeys. We park up then hop off for photos, the monkeys have no fear and are obviously well used to visitors. They eat bananas, play in the trees and pose for photos (the monkeys, not the visitors). A lovely unexpected bonus :)
Next stop is for a snorkel in a little cove with limestone cliffs
It is Ian's first time snorkelling and Anna holds his hand again as he splashes about, trying not to drown, while he gets his mask on. The fish are everywhere and the water so clear its as if you are looking at a fishtank. There are many different shapes, sizes and colours, and the more curious ones swim right up to your mask to get a closer look. We swim about for awhile and then its all aboard again for a doughnut and a slice of pineapple (complimentary and very tasty).
By the time we reach the next snorkelling spot, further round the island, the sun has become hidden by clouds and the tempurature is beginning to drop. Anna stays on board this time while Ian has another quick look at the fish and stuff. By the time everyone is back on board its become a bit chilly and there is no sun to be seen anymore. Abandoning the final leg to see the sunset we head off home feeling satisfied and tired after a day of adventure and looking at suff.

Our room and living areas were spotlessly clean, however our first impressions were not good. The entrance was dark and the lift hard to find. When we arrived on our floor, the stairwell was dirty and smelled bad. It was also not clear as to were our apartments were.
Our room, while clean, was very sparse, lack of curtains made us uncomfortable about privacy. There was no chair to put clothes on.
Some of the photos on the site were not those of our apartment, including the bedroom we were given.
We did enjoy the company of the people there and the owner did respond to any questions we had.

Hello! My stanying in this apartament has been very good, near the underground, clean, new i recomended this.
Absolutely not recommended: Frequently willdfremde people with private door key to day and night ran through our apartment to reach across to underlying premises. This to prevent has not been possible because the door would not let block from the inside. Other shortcomings: Exposed electrical wiring, no light in the bathroom, leftovers from the previous guest in the fridge and freezer, only 8 real beds, instead of remaining 2 beds only a wobbly folding camp bed, and finally a very unfriendly "landlord" - NEVER AGAIN !!!
Absolut nicht empfehlenswert : Häufig liefen willdfremde Menschen mit eigenem Türschlüssel zu Tages- und Nachtzeiten quer durch unsere Ferienwohnung um dahinterliegende Räume zu erreichen. Dies zu unterbinden war nicht möglich, da sich die Wohnungstür nicht von innen versperren liess. Weitere Mängel : Offenliegende Elektroinstallation, kein Licht im Bad, Essensreste vom Vormieter in Kühlschrank und Gefrierfach, lediglich 8 richtige Betten, statt der restlichen 2 Betten lediglich ein wackeliges klappbares Campingbett , und schliesslich ein sehr unfreundlicher "Vermieter" - NIE WIEDER !!!
Positives: plenty of space, comfortable lounge / living / kitchen area, 2 showers, 2 toilets, 3 single key
Negative: 101 steps - 5 floor, room decor very spartan, difficult parking situation, loud street noise in the bedrooms
Positiv: viel Platz, angenehmer Aufenthalts/Wohn/Küchenbereich, 2 Duschen, 2 Toiletten, 3 einzelne Schlüssel
Negativ: 101 Treppenstufen - 5 OG, Zimmer sehr spartanisch eingerichtet, schwierige Park-Situation, lauter Straßenlärm in den Schlafzimmern
Thwle apartment was very good. But the guy who runs it doesnt know what hospitaly or privacy means.
He wasn't there when we arrived
Shows up IN the apartment the next morning with is own key, without any notice or ringing the door bell.
Tells us only than the rules of the apartment
And the next day wants to hold in the deposit because we allegedly broke the rules on the first day.
So I wouldnt reccomend it, and I most defenately wouldnt reccomend paying the deposit.
Very nice, clean, flexible ... Just great.
Many thanks
Sehr nett, sauber, flexible ...Einfach super.

Bill Gates Describes Microsoft's Early Smartphone Efforts as "Clearly a Mistake"
Jason Mick
February 18, 2013 3:10 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The Windows Mobile era took a heavy toll on Microsoft's mobile efforts
In a new candid interview with CBS Corp.'s (
) titular station, Microsoft Corp. (
) co-founder and
famed philanthropist
Bill Gates discusses his
former company's
struggles in the mobile era
. Microsoft today accounts for less than 5 percent of the smartphone market, according to most estimates.
For a time, Microsoft
held nearly a quarter
of the fledgling smartphone market (circa 2004). But it failed to keep up with rivals like Google Inc. (
) and Apple, Inc. (
), sticking for years with the increasingly dated Windows Mobile platform. In November 2010, Microsoft launched
a new operating system
, Windows Phone, which was ambitious but lacked strong third-party hardware support. Today Microsoft is still struggling to sell the market on its latest mobile OS --
Windows Phone 8
Bill Gates in the interview calls Microsoft's former cellphone strategy "clearly a mistake", remarking, "There's a lot of things like cellphones where we didn't get out in the lead early. We didn't miss cellphones, but the way that we went about it didn't allow us to get the leadership."
The tech icon says that both he and current CEO (
and close friend
) Steve Ballmer are both incredibly "self-critical". He comments, "He [Ballmer] and I are not satisfied that in terms of breakthrough things that we're doing everything possible."
Steve Ballmer's company has struggled in the mobile era, since Mr. Gates' retirement.
[Image Source: SFGate]
Mr. Gates expressed confidence, though, that it's not too late for Microsoft to claw its way to a significant mobile market share. He's
a big fan of Windows 8 and Microsoft's Surface tablet
Microsoft is reportedly aiming to
unify the Windows and Windows Phone platforms
under one consistent set of mostly overlapping APIs and user interface themes, to allow users to feel more comfortable with both form factors, and to help developers save time deploying cross-platform apps. The first unified release, Windows Blue, may land late this summer.
The revisions are also accompanied with some big leadership change. Windows President Steven Sinofsky was
driven out
new rising stars are taking his place
at the company. Some investors have
called on CEO Ballmer to step down
, but for now Mr. Ballmer is
hanging tight
in the top spot,
vocal as ever
"Can anyone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?... So why the f*** doesn't it do that?" -- Steve Jobs

Man shot by Manitou Springs officer wanted for escape
MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. - The El Paso County Sheriff's Office said a man who exchanged gunfire with a Manitou Springs police officer moments before being shot early Saturday morning was wanted for escape.
It happened around 2 a.m. Saturday in front of La Fon Motel on 123 Manitou Ave.
Manitou Springs police officers responded to a Crime Stoppers tip about 37-year-old Christopher Clemens, who was wanted for escape by the Colorado Department of Corrections.
When officers found Clemens, he fired at one of the officers, according to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office. An officer returned fire, striking Clemens, an EPSO spokesman said.
Clemens was taken to a hospital and is currently listed in stable condition.
The officers were not hurt in the shooting.
According to the Colorado Department of Corrections, Clemens walked off from the Community Corrections of El Paso County on March 27 and had not been seen since. He had been put on general parole in July 2012. The DOC says the most common reason for going back to Community Corrections is for a parole violation.
A background check of Clemens shows his criminal record dates to 1997 and includes convictions of theft, forgery, assault, escape, motor vehicle theft and drug-related crimes.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office and the District Attorney's Office are investigating the shooting.

The Piano That Lets You Connect
The Yamaha Silent Piano lets you connect traditional tone, touch and elegance to the world of digital electronics. The quality and craftsmanship inherent in every Yamaha piano are combined with state-of-the-art fiber optic technology. Multi-point optical sensors at each key and pedal register every facet of the player's performance with unparalleled precision, instantly transforming keystrokes into digital data. This opens the doorway to a new world of creative educational opportunities.
MIDI In/Out, Computers
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) connects the Silent Piano to other keyboards, external modules and computers. With the simple connection to a computer you can record and print your own music, learn to play the piano and even download music from the internet.
Sensor System
The sensor system consists of optical grey scale sensors located at each key. This industry unique feature provides the highest degree of precision and sensitivity. Because these sensors are optical, they have no effect on the feel of the keys as they accurately transmit every nuance of your playing to the digital electronics.
Yamaha QuickEscape™ Action and Piano Mute Rail
When you engage the Piano Mute Rail, the hammers will not strike the strings, allowing you to play MIDI sounds or the onboard digital voices without hearing the acoustic piano. The exclusive QuickEscape action mechanism provides a consistent touch in either the piano mute mode or acoustic mode. These two features instantly convert the Silent Piano into the perfect MIDI controller or multi-track recording instrument.
Built-In Digital Piano Sound
The on-board digital piano expands your playing potential. The sound of a Yamaha concert grand is digitally recorded and captured on a powerful 30 megabyte computer chip and available at your fingertips.
Key-Release Velocity
The key-release velocity feature can detect and respond to expressive fingering, capturing the speed each key is released. Key-release velocity results in the capturing the characteristic sound and feel of an acoustic piano while playing the digital piano.
Plug in the headphones and enter your own concert hall environment with the tone and ambiance of a concert grand on stage. Add the piano mute rail and you can play in complete privacy.
Add the acoustic environment of a concert hall.
Audio Out
Project the sampled sound of a concert grand through speakers or direct to a tape deck.
Produced by the World's Leading Piano Manufacturer
This vertical piano is designed for high sound quality with reliability and attention to detail built in at every stage. Yamaha has the rare combination of advanced optical fiber sensor technology, extensive experience with digital pianos and keyboard, and a long tradition of acoustic excellence in piano design.
Seasoned for Destination
Yamaha specifically seasons this piano for the U.S. market. The tuning stability, finish and overall musical integrity are enhanced over the long life expected of a fine piano.
Permanent Crown Solid Soundboard
Yamaha utilizes a process that creates a permanent crown in the soundboard and at the same time minimizes soundboard cracking. The customer can feel confident that not only will the piano last for years, but the beautiful sound of a Yamaha piano will last a lifetime.
Solid Spruce Soundboard
At the Yamaha lumber mill and wood processing facility, the finest spruce is quarter sawn; and less than 10% of the total is selected and reserved for Yamaha piano soundboards. Solid spruce, rather than laminated spruce or poplar, is the choice in all fine pianos for the best amplification of sound, best tone and sustain.
Full Length Ribs
Yamaha reinforces the crown in its soundboards by using ribs that continue to the edge of the soundboard and are glued into the notched liner (or inner rim on the grand piano). Reinforcing the crown ensures that the tone quality will remain for years and years and improves tuning stability.
V-Pro Plate
Yamaha uses V-Pro (Vacuum Shield Mold Process) in casting the iron frame (plate). V-Pro plates are stronger and visually more appealing. Critical dimensions are accurately produced.
Extruded Aluminum Action Rails
Yamaha engineering developed a unique Extruded Aluminum Alloy Action Rail (bearing a Yamaha patent) that is one of the best innovations for improving a piano action in the last 100 years. The usual fluctuations in wood rails that effect touch, caused by periodic weather changes, are eliminated allowing stable, long-lasting action regulation.
Balanced Action
Each key of a Yamaha piano is individually tested and measured for the corrections needed to obtain uniform "down weight" pressure. Yamaha actions play correctly and uniformly. This balancing helps ensure a lifetime of superior touch and control across the keyboard.
Uniform Key Travel
Yamaha designs all grand and vertical pianos to have the same key travel. Regardless of size, type or model of Yamaha piano, the keyboards will always feel the same.
Spruce Keys
Yamaha uses Spruce for the keys on all models of pianos. Spruce is very light and possesses a very high ratio of strength to weight. It is ideal for key construction, even though its cost is greater than either sugar pine or bass wood. Yamaha keyboards respond quickly providing fast repetition for the most intricate piece of music. Yamaha keyboards withstand heavy use over years of fortissimo passages.

Group: Giverny
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: Waterlily pond
Date Made:
Lender: Museum of Modern Art, New York
Monet painted hundreds of metres of canvas for the Grandes décorations: more than a hundred large oil studies and over forty works (2 metres high by 4.25 to 6 metres wide) — one of which is the great Waterlily pond. He used twenty-two of these to form eight huge murals. They were his gift to France, installed in the Orangerie in Paris only after his death in 1926. He began work on the Grandes décorations in 1914 and, in 1915, despite the outbreak of war and the shortage of manpower and materials, he had a huge studio built to accommodate his grandiose scheme. Monet had to struggle against his anguish at the horrors of the war, the deaths of almost all his old friends, and the growing threat of blindness.
Preliminary drawings in Monet's sketchbooks confirm the influence of the dynamic linearism and expressive empty space of Japanese screen painting on his conception of the Grandes décorations. In Soken's pair of screens, White herons in summer and winter, the artist has painted superb freehand drawings of a willow and a stream with banks accented by bamboo, set against shimmering, silvery space. In Monet's drawings, bold, shadowless, abstract lines sweep across two pages of a sketchbook, creating long horizontal compositions from the curved banks of the pool; willows and reeds are silhouetted against empty paper that stands for the radiance of water. In other drawings the paper is blank except for scrawled ovals representing lily pads. Monet gradually abandoned the idea of depicting the bank of the pool, probably because it created a barrier between himself or the spectator and the water, and because it made space measurable. In all the Grandes décorations, the centre of the painting is open, empty except for reeds or waterlilies (in some, banks and plants in the foreground were roughly painted out). Monet was probably influenced by the Japanese use of emptiness. Soken's willow and bamboo set against silvery space that dissolves in front of one's eyes finds its analogy in the vaster emptiness of the Two willows.
Monet began painting Waterlily pond with huge sweeps of the brush, building up large areas of colour with thick, scumbled paint, and great scrawls of colour over them. With his damaged sight, he must have been painting his memories of light. Yet for all its material density, the painting is a vision of immaterial light. Monet used emptiness to suggest the infinite.
In Yu¯sho¯'s screens Bamboo and morning glories and Pine and camellias, the partially seen forms of nature melt into misty distances. Three panels are almost empty, articulated only by delicate bamboo leaves or pine needles and by soft vibrations which may be clouds or may be water, but which draw the eye into them until the mind dissolves into the infinite space. Other screen paintings are more abstract. For example, in Pampas grasses attributed to Tosa Mitsuyoshi, a series of beautifully spaced, curved brushstrokes on a gold ground draws the eye across the panels, giving an astonishing sensation of the luminous expansiveness of space. There is an analogy here with the way Monet animated his surface with repeated curved strokes that temporarily coalesce as waterlily leaves, but which also move the eye across the horizontal surface.

Map of Mississippi. Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Alabama all border the state.
Mississippi is named for the Mississippi river which forms its western boundary and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The name roughly translated from Native American folklore means "Father of Waters." The translation comes from the Chippewa words "mici zibi" meaning "great river" or "gathering in of all the waters" and the Algonquin word "Messipi".
Mississippi was organized as a territory in 1798 and was admitted as the 20th state to join the Union on December 10, 1817. Jackson is the capital city and the largest metropolitan area.
The Mississippi Delta is the birthplace of the Blues, which preceded the birth of Jazz, the only other original American art form.

After Arsenal's 3-1 win over Shrewsbury on Tuesday, we asked fans to share their thoughts on the game via Twitter.
Many of you got in touch and below is a selection of the fans' thoughts.
If you don't already follow us on Twitter and want to have your say, you can find us here: @Arsenal
@MihaliZisos - Oxlade-Chamberlain last night: brilliant debut performance. Good to see him take a shot from distance, something we've sometimes been lacking.
@lukeroux - Coquelin = the new Makelele.
@Blagginho - The youngsters looked pretty good last night. Especially Coquelin, Miquel & Oxlade-Chamberlain. Was hoping to see a bit more of Ryo though!
@dominicmtilley - Just watched highlights from Carling Cup. Oxlade-Chamberlain very impressive. Pacy, creative, good on the ball and not afraid to shoot.
@KHALIDKhan91 - Coquelin looks like a beast! Wouldn't mind seeing him get more first-team football along with Ryo.
@MarcusStratford - Really enjoyed my rare trip to Emirates Stadium. Very good second half and some promising performances from the lads.
@angelgooner - Anyone noticed how good Jenkinson is at crossing? I think Coquelin should should be given more chances.
@ElmigoRed - Coquelin was brilliant throughout the game, not just one half. Not flash, did the dirty work and did it well and won everything.
@S_Hoxha - Happy the Arsenal youngsters came through, bring on next round.
@krayzeekris - Oggy Ozyakup only on five seconds and showed great composure to set up Yossi. Fantastic second-half performance all roundCopyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Passengers left stranded in airports by delays and cancellations are set to win new rights to food, water, compensation and fresh flights under a package of measures unveiled by the European Commission.
The EU passed flagship legislation on passenger rights eight years ago, but said though "very strong," the existing rights needed to be fleshed out and toughened up as travellers "can have difficulty claiming them and feel frustrated when air carriers do not appear to apply them".
Surveys in European Union nations show three out of four passengers are offered re-routing when facing delays or cancellations but only one out of two are offered meals or accommodation.
A German survey showed that when passengers complained, only 20 per cent received a response, and a Danish poll said only two to four per cent of people entitled to financial compensation actually received it.
"It's important that passenger rights don't just exist on paper," said EU Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas. "We all need to be able to rely on them when it matters, at the airport, when things go wrong."
Among the proposed new rules, due to become law next year, carriers will have to inform passengers of any delay within 30 minutes, at the latest, of the scheduled departure time.
Airlines likewise will be forced to provide free water, air conditioning and access to toilets to travellers stuck in planes on tarmacs for at least an hour.
After five hours on the tarmac, passengers could disembark and be reimbursed while anyone left stranded for two hours in an airport hub would have a right to care and assistance.
And in the case of a delay of more than 12 hours, an airline would have to offer to reroute passengers on another carrier.
The new rules will clarify that carriers are not responsible in cases of "extraordinary circumstances", natural disasters or strikes by air traffic controllers.
Airlines meanwhile will have to provide clear complaint procedures and will have one week to acknowledge receipt of a complaint and two months to formally respond.

Welcome to OVAE Connection
OVAE Connection is a new newsletter from the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) of the U.S. Department of Education. This is our first issue. We are sending it to all of those who received the former Thursday Notes, Up-to-Date with DATE, and Community College Compendium. We will do our best to provide "news you can use." We recognize that not all news will be usable for each reader, but we will try to ensure that each news item has some potential utility for at least a segment of our audience. Articles will come from OVAE staff involved in career and technical education; adult education; community colleges; and research, evaluation, technical assistance, and dissemination. We also want to feature articles that let those in the field know what others in the field are doing that has proven to be of value. Please send us information that others should know about what is working. And we want your feedback about what is useful and what is not. Please give us your constructive suggestions. Thank you!
OVAE Joins DOL in Gathering Input for Technical Assistance on Workforce Capacity
OVAE Assistant Secretary Brenda Dann-Messier has joined Jane Oates, assistant secretary for employment and training at the U.S. Department of Labor, to host four discussion forums that will help develop a technical assistance strategy to improve the capacity of the workforce system to serve adults. The target population includes dislocated workers who need industry-recognized and postsecondary credentials to re-enter the workforce in good jobs that pay a livable wage. The first forum, Career Pathways for Low-skilled Adults, was held April 19 in Seattle. Invited participants included workforce and adult education experts, practitioners, and representatives of organizations that have provided technical assistance or research on career pathways models. The session was conducted at the annual meeting of the American Association of Community Colleges. Three additional sessions will be held in locations across the country: Transitioning Adults─Low-skilled to Middle-skilled; Credentialing; and A Snapshot of the System.
Cuyahoga Community College Leads Health Information Technology Training Program
Ohio's Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) has been selected to lead a group of Midwestern community colleges that will offer health information technology (HIT) training to move the nation toward a system of electronic medical records. Tri-C will lead the Midwestern Consortium involving 17 community colleges that will receive a year-one award of $7.5 million with potential for additional funds of more than $7 million in year two from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The initiative is part of a nationwide effort to meet requirements of the HITECH Act, which mandates that every U.S. citizen have an electronic medical record by 2014. Tri-C and the other community colleges will use the grant funds to provide training to current and future healthcare workers who will integrate electronic health record information systems at hospitals, doctors' offices and other medical facilities throughout the nation.
Career and College Readiness Proposed For ESEA and Race to the Top
The administration's proposed revisions to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) include a new emphasis on career readiness to match ESEA's traditional emphasis on academic readiness. This integration of purposes is designed to eliminate dead ends for career and technical education students because they will be qualified for higher education and to provide all students with broad career orientations. Combining career and college readiness will open postsecondary options for all students and minimize students' needs for remedial courses in postsecondary institutions. The assessment component of the Race to the Top initiative provides for development of tools to examine students' academic skills and adds assessment of both "21st-century skills", such as problem solving, and technical skills that are related to career readiness. These tools will enable guidance—about student progress made and next steps needed—to become one critical element in each student's progress along a pathway that combines academic and career progress.

Bavarian Charm in Central Washington
Blackbird Lodge • Leavenworth, WA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Studio Suite, Sundays through Thursdays ($149) or Fridays and Saturdays ($169)
- Daily Waffle Bar
The Destination
Leavenworth, Washington, is just 120 miles east of Seattle, but feels closer to a Bavarian village than a town in the Cascades. On a typical afternoon, polka bands parade through the town's cottage-lined streets and candy shops dish out silky chocolates. A favorite getaway for city-weary residents, Leavenworth stands out for its distinctly European architecture and easy access to outdoor pursuits like alpine skiing, trail hiking and biking, and wildlife watching.
The Digs
Lined with flower-filled window boxes and dark wood accents, the exterior of Blackbird Lodge is both traditional and inviting. Inside, all accommodations feature full baths, cozy furnishings, and mini kitchens, while some offer balconies and seasonal fireplaces. Guests awake to a complimentary breakfast each morning before setting out to explore the boutique shops and restaurants of Leavenworth—think handcrafted dollhouses, music boxes, pretzels, and German beer.

The Dutch Royal Jewels ~ The Historic Jewels of The House of Orange-Nassau It's not just pictures of the various female members of the Dutch Royal Family wearing the various pieces, but the history behind each piece is also up over there.

Web Application Vulnerability Scanner
I've been working with a few web application vulnerability scanners lately and was looking for alternatives. The current pool I've pulled from includes Cenzic's hailstorm, Grendel-Scan, and the free version (xss only) of Acunetix's scanner.
So far I've been impressed with hailstorm's functionality, however; the 50K per license price tag is an issue when multiple scans need to be run at the same time.
Grendel-Scan, a free, open-sourced scanner, provides a solution to the cost issue; however, is less robust than hailstorm.
Acunetix's scanner impressed me the least of these three, but as I mentioned above, I only used the free version.
What I'm looking for is a list of alternatives. More important than the cost is the functionality and coverage the tool provides.

Merrifield, Ossipee see restaurants reopen
Valeri Diller, owner of Valeri Ann's Family Foods, recently expanded her businesses in the Merrifield area. She took over the former Merrifield Diner next door and reopened May 23 as The Olde Uptown Diner.
Valeri Ann's Family Foods and the diner are on the north side of Merrifield on County Road 3. Diller said many people think they are located in the little downtown area of Merrifield.
"I say, 'No, not downtown, you have to go a little bit uptown,'" she said.
The diner focuses on classic breakfasts and home cooking. The Olde Uptown Diner has five employees and is open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sundays.
Diller opened Valeri Ann's Family Foods in October 2011. The business sells individually packed home-cooked meals, which include meat, potato and vegetable, and are available fresh on cooking days or frozen, as well as pizza.
Also, Tony Carter, a former owner of Rachel's Bakery in downtown Nisswa, makes doughnuts from scratch at Valeri Ann's Family Foods and sells them under the name Tony's Donuts. They're available Tuesdays through Sundays.
Northwoods Inne
New owners Bob Komischke and Mike Cosert recently opened the Northwoods Inne in Ossipee. That restaurant most recently was Bobber's Restaurant, and before that was the Northwoods Inn, which was known for its prime rib dinners.
Komischke and Cosert have been in the restaurant business all their lives. Most recently, Komischke was the general manager at Manhattan Beach Lodge from 1998-2008, and Cosert was the chef at Norway Ridge Supper Club from 2002-12.
They purchased the business in April and opened May 28.
Komischke said the Northwoods Inn was always a popular place for him to go with his family, and now he and Cosert are trying to bring the restaurant back to its roots.
Prime rib is one of the main features of their menu, which focuses on classic comfort food made from scratch.
"We are trying to create that feel of a place you can go and get a good dinner that's made by someone for you, not just something that's reheated," Komischke said.
They are working with another local business, the Jack Pine Brewery in Brainerd, and using its Duck Pond Nut Brown Ale in their beer cheese soup and in beer batter for onion rings, walleye and shrimp.
The Northwoods Inne opens at 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. The restaurant has a staff of 13 and plans are to be open year-round.
