The Destination
The scenic Chagrin Valley is a popular day destination for many Ohioans—and after a visit to this picturesque slice of Americana, it's easy to see why. The area, steeped in history, is home to quaint Colonial-lined cobblestone streets, manicured public parks, and stone-bridge-covered creeks, each teeming with visitors who patron the town's specialty shops and acclaimed restaurants. Lush horse country rolls along the outskirts before disappearing into the quiet woods beyond—it's a place to connect and lose yourself all at the same time.
The Digs
The Club at Hillbrook maintains the picturesque charm of a Tudor mansion overlooking a cobblestone English courtyard and a riverside gazebo, just 30 minutes from downtown Cleveland. Individually appointed rooms are outfitted with unique hardwood furnishings like four-poster beds and private desks, plush bedding with lacy trim, and free wireless Internet. You'll want to tempt your taste buds at the inn's renowned on-site restaurant that features a menu with gourmet dishes like pan-roasted Cornish hen or char-grilled strip steak.

"Once a Giant, ALWAYS, a Giant."
The game is far from over. They are driving now.
Just a fg.. However they just took ball from bears WR but it's under review, think he's down
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
Both picks are on his receivers - dez has talent but is not a smart player. He looks the part - but hakeem is the part. First ball was on a poor sight adjustment and second was off ogletree's hands - I'LL TAKE EM BOTH.

Knicks are a freaking joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
Knicks are a freaking joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
Down 20plus in the 1st half..lol THere isnt a team in the NBA who the bulls would be up this much on this early outside of the Knicks.. looks like they got us excited again for nothing... So sick of players bricking wideopen shots and playing embaressing defense!
I'm taking a break from this team.. They give me a headache way to often nowadays...
Several seasons means 3seasons in my book.. I'm sorry u need to see more, but 3seasons and 1single playoff game win is ridiculous.. Hence why we fired a Coach, becuase obviously we expected more outta that team.. Mike Woodson seemed to of turned us around, but if u haven't noticed, were playing like Cr-ap again.. Of course its early on in the season still, and we can turn it around again, but its pretty much the same exact issues as have shown the past few yrs...

Wow, Carlos Boozer just took the ball from half court on a fast break and scored on Kidd and Melo with a And 1..lol U have got to be kidding me!!!lol This is funny as a h-ell!!!
Knicks losing by 20plus to the freaking bulls at home at half..lol Seriously, this team is Bi-polar!
OMFG this **** is embarassing

This game is a great reminder of why I stopped watching the Knicks a long time ago
been a fan since the late 80s...this is all I know. the 90s were so hard for me because that's when I moved to Chicago (not my choice)
Those Bulls runs? Reggie Miller? The Heat in the late 90s? The Rockets swooping in our glory?
It's harsh but maybe, maybe Amar'e and Melo just cannot occupy the same area. Seems stupid to say and it is and yet...
to be fair Thibs is a great coach, as I said before he coaches Defense first, our boys were consistently chased off the Perimeter. The Knicks have thrived off the 3-ball with very little points in the paint. post ups or dribble penetration.
Noah and Boozer and Taj have really stepped their game in the absence of Rose, and their Bench is fearless.
You have to salute that but it hurts when your Team can't find that inner desire consistently.
Plagued the Yankees bats all last year
Was the Giants M.O for a few Seasons now
Characterizes this year's Knicks
Stop drinking the water !!!

Reviews of this property
Keys super run. Contact without problems. Beautiful furnishings wonderfully camp perfectly. Cleanliness inordnung.
Would not hesitate to book again many thanks
Schlüsselübergabe super gelaufen . Kontakt ohne Probleme . Schöne wohnung einrichtung wunderbar lager perfekt . Sauberkeit inordnung .
Würde jeder zeit wieder buchen vielen Danke
Rainer and his apartment were a delight. Rainer even met us much later than expected as our plan had a delay. The apartment was perfect for us. The kids slept down stairs in the 1st bedroom and we slept up stairs in the very charming master bedroom. (Stairs up to the bedroom are a little steep for people with disabilities)
The kitchen was great. But would have loved a microwave.
Living area was brilliant and very warm even with it being so cold outside.
Tram into koln is the number 18 which is about 20-30m outside the apartment to the right. Not the one just outside!
There is only a shower but that was fine for us and our two children.
All in all a fantastic weekend and great Christmas markets will deg recommend
Great apartment! Had a great stay! Cute hosts!
Tolle Wohnung! Hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt! Netter Gastgeber!
We were made very welcome by Rainer. The apartment was in a good condition. We have felt ourselves very well. We would book this apartment again at any time or to a friend.
Wir wurden sehr nett von Rainer empfangen. Die Wohnung war in einem guten Zustand. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir würden diese Wohnung jederzeit wieder buchen bzw. weiterempfehlen.
The apartment was really great, exactly as described, they would take back, everything is new and clean. We liked best the TV above the bed. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need. It is very quiet, you do not hear the traffic. The keys also has worked without problems. And Rainer Wimdu can only recommend.
Die Wohnung war echt toll, genau wie sie beschrieben ist, würden sie wieder nehmen, alles neu und sauber. Uns hat am besten der Fernseher über dem Bett gefallen. Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Es ist sehr ruhig,man hört den Verkehr nicht. Die Schlüsselübergabe hat auch problemlos geklappt. Können Wimdu und Rainer nur weiterempfehlen.
Hello Rainer, We had a great weekend in Cologne. The apartment was neat, tidy, fully voorzien.De tram at the door and the bakery on the corner.We slept fine with 6 people. It is definitely recommended.

Oh Yay, Frequency healing. Finally. I am sure all those that have fallen to cancer and other diseases wish that they had had a chance at vibrational healing. It is really good stuff. It shakes out only the harmful viruses, bacteria and cancerous cells from your infected areas and cells and deposits them into your waste stream disposal system to be excreted. Trust me, the vibrational techniques know which ones the harmful viruses and bacterias are. And they only affect these things and nothing else!

I;m going to jump on this right away for my myriad aches & pains. As soon as I finish my crystal-hugging session.
Good grief Jessica, you seem reasonably sharp... you aren't buying this, are you?

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › I need a new 3-season bag..thoughts
Feb 26, 2013 at 3:10 pm #1299747
I am looking for a new 3 season bag. Trying to keep in the 1-1.5lbs range and 32-40degrees. I have three I am looking at but was wondering if there is anything else I should check out or what your thoughts are on these three: Western Mountaineering Caribou MF, Big Agnes Pitchpine SL, and the new REI Flash bag.Feb 27, 2013 at 6:08 am #1959171
Erik BasilBPL Member
@ebasilLocale: Atzlan
Matt, I can give you some feedback on the Big Agnes bag system, rather than that particular bag, so I hope this is helpful.
Since the BA bags are "quasi-quilt", meaning uninsulated on the lower side, but still a full envelope, you can get a bag that comes out pretty light since it relies upon your sleeping pad for under-side insulation. This does presume you carry a sleeping pad, and the BA bags will only sleeve a 20" or narrower.
One trade-off effect with the BA system is that if you "sit up in bed" (or the tent), the air mattress has to come with you. That was odd and took getting used to.
I use a Mystic SL, because it's light-ish and is cut wide. The lightweight zippers BA uses regularly jam. This is occasionally so annoying that I am known to remark "this is the last #$%@ time I use this bag" right after I have to swim an arm out and then burst the zipper to get out of my bag. The YKK's do self-repair (at least 10 times so far) and a new bag is expensive and I have a short memory… I suggest you visit an REI or other store and use the zippers from inside the bag, over and over. The larger zippers in a non-SL-series bag might not have any problem, and my wife's SL bag/finesse haven't had any jams. I'm just suggesting you check it out.
The pillow-sack inside the hood of the BA is handy. My down puffy lives there in warm weather.Feb 27, 2013 at 6:23 am #1959175
Thanks for the feedback. I do have a Big Agnes Dual Core pad that I got a good deal on at a REI used gear sale and would be using it with any bag I go with. I am not normally a back sleeper and usually sleep on my stomach or side, not sure how well that works with the BA system. I am going to stop by REI today after work and check out their new Flash bag. It looks a little narrow at the bottom and that is a concern. I am 5' 10" and 230lbs and like a little wiggle room if possible.Feb 27, 2013 at 7:00 am #1959189

I suggest the Western Mountaineering HighLite. It weighs one pound even and is conservatively rated to 35 degrees. I recently got one and, although I've only had it out a few nights, I can already tell it's warmer than my old Mountainsmith Wisp (rated to 30 degrees and six ounces heavier).Feb 27, 2013 at 7:04 am #1959191

@mtwardenLocale: Montana
look @ both the Hydrogen (30F) and Atom (40F), fit/finish is excellent as are the materials (including the high loft down) and are lightweight- they can usually be found on sale for reasonable pricesFeb 27, 2013 at 7:07 am #1959192
I had looked at the Highlight but would like something with a full zipper so thats why I was looking at the Caribou same temp and only 4 oz more.Feb 27, 2013 at 7:17 am #1959196
Pete StaehlingBPL Member
The Flash looks interesting, but is 1/2 pound more than my Mountain Hardwear Phantom 45. The Phantom 45 and the Flash are both rated at:
EN lower limit? (rating for men) 32 F
EN comfort? (rating for women) 41 F
I have slept in the Phantom at 18 F with one layer of warmish clothing and thick socks and been comfy. At 32 F I can sleep in it with no extra clothing. I sleep pretty warm though.
For those who either sleep cooler or need to accommodate much colder temps the Phantom also comes in a 32 and 20 model.
I love my Phantom.Feb 27, 2013 at 7:23 am #1959199
Thanks for the feedback everyone. This gives me some more things to look into. Why do these decisions have to be so complicated to make?!?!Feb 27, 2013 at 7:57 am #1959211

Are quilts out of the question? If not, I think quilts are much more comfortable than sleeping bags in addition to their weight savings. Jacks R Better and Enlightened Equipment make great quilts at pretty good prices.Feb 27, 2013 at 12:00 pm #1959310
Quilts are not completely out of the picture, but the ones I have looked at there isnt much of a weight or size difference in this temp range. I did go by REI at lunch today and checked out the Flash. Pretty nice bag and setup. I was a little concerned about the foot box and hip area, but after climbing into it the feel wasnt that bag, fairly snug, but still enough room to move around. With the dividend checks coming out next month and potentially the usual 20% off coupon and a few gift cards I still have from Christmas I might just go ahead and get this bag. It seems to fit all of my needs. Price, size, temp, and weight.Feb 27, 2013 at 12:13 pm #1959313
Lance StalnakerBPL Member
I would go with the Caribou over the Highlite. I have both and like the versatility of being able to unzip the Caribou all the way, it also has more room overall.Feb 27, 2013 at 12:44 pm #1959330

Young Italian winemaker Fabrizio Gatto and his colleagues scour Italy's premier growing regions for wines that express the best characteristics of their areas. Those wines are then fashioned into final blends and sent to Trento, Italy, where they are bottled in a state-of-the-art facility. The Ecco Domani wines that ultimately arrive in the U.S. exhibit the best of what Italy has to offer.
"By choosing the very best grapes from the finest regions of Italy, it is possible for us to craft exquisite wines with marvelous complexity. The intricate fruit flavors which result in the finished wines are unsurpassed, and marry well with a variety of superb cuisines," says Fabrizio Gatto.
Since the debut of Ecco Domani wines in 1996, it has become the leading premium Italian brand in the United States. View all Ecco Domani Wines
About Trentino-Alto Adige(tren-TEE-noe ahl-toe ah-DEE-jay)
Notable FactsReds are likely to be Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, along with a few local varieties, most notably Schiaval. The white grapes are Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Traminer and Chardonnay. Chardonnay is the most-planted and most revered, while Traminer hails from Austria and has an amazingly light body, but is also intensely floral and delicious. Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio are the international players that make lively whites of good value. The sweet spot of Trentino Alto-Adige is Vino Santo- a wine not to be confused with Tuscany's Vin Santo. Vino Santo (which means holy wine) is a sweet wine of the area made from dried grapes. Not found as much as Vin Santo, but still a treat.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

From Islamabad to Hyderabad, journalist safety at issue
Owais Toheed, head of ARY News, cancelled his speaking slot for Wednesday at the conference I'm attending in Islamabad. Organized by UNESCO, the Open Society Foundations, Intermedia, and International Media Support, the meeting's title says it all: International Conference on Safety and Security of Journalists in Pakistan. The reason Toheed couldn't attend is because he was tearing toward Hyderabad, where one of ARY's investigative camera crews was attacked earlier today.

Is there any way that Locklear is even ready for the start of next season? Seems real risky to put our eggs in that basket.
Is there any way that Locklear is even ready for the start of next season? Seems real risky to put our eggs in that basket.
What's far more significant, in my view, is that for a Giants scout to --allegedly--give voice in the vicinity of anyone in the media to a preference for any player scouted is a violation of Articles 1, 2, and 3 of Jerry Reese's Credo for all player personnel decisions: never, ever, give away any player preferences before the actual moment of announcement.
Because of that, this article is 100% suspect.
If they cant resign Beatty, Johnson may be exactly where they go.
If Beatty is still here, I am not positive they need another LT prospect, unless they want to move Beatty to RT?
id be pretty stoked with him. he looks like he could be an awesome RT. he looked real good in the run game and looked to have good footwork in pass protection with good use of his hands. only thing is i dunno how anchored he is, looks like he could get pushed back some so maybe needs to bulk up. doesnt look like hes filled out his frame by any means...
id preferably, bc we need a RT remember not the coveted LT (u can get quality RT's later on bc its almost a knock on a guy if he cant be a LT meaning if there was some excellent RT who didnt possess whatever tangible needed to move to LT, his draft stock wouldnt be that high) I would trade my pick at 19 for an early 2nd round pick n 3rd round pick. from there, I draft at least 1 OL and 1 DL or 2 OL/2DL in the 2nd based on whose available at our pick. Then in the 3rd, I'd finish ensuring I got 2 quality OL and 2 quality d players (a DE and a LB for example). JR should be able to find a starting caliber G in rd 2 as well (Snee was a 2nd rd pick)
I guess in a much simpler way of explaining, I'd trade the 19th pick to get an additional 2nd and 3rd round pick, then use the 2nd and 3rd rounds to ensure I got 2 quality OL and 2 quality d players, 1 of which is a DE who at minimum is a freak at rushing the passer. the DE imo just needs to be a pass rush specialist really, we have the DEs to play the run in JPP, Tuck n Kiwi. We need that freak pass rusher to help JPP and Co. face less attention from the offense.

Intracardiac electrophysiology study (EPS) is a test to look at how well the heart's electrical signals are working. It is used to check for abnormal heartbeats or heart rhythms.
Electrophysiology study - intracardiac; EPS - intracardiac
Wire electrodes are placed in the heart to do this test. These electrodes measure electrical activity in the heart.
The procedure is done in a hospital laboratory. The staff will include a cardiologist, technicians, and nurses.
To have this study:
Other procedures that may also be done during the test:
You will be told not to eat or drink for 6 to 8 hours before the test.
You will wear a hospital gown. You must sign a consent form for the procedure.
Your health care provider will tell you ahead of time if you need to make changes to the medicines you regularly take. Do not stop taking or change any medicines without first talking to your health care provider.
In most cases, you will be given medicine to help you feel calm before the procedure. The study can last from 1 hour up to several hours. You may not be able to drive home afterward, so you should plan for someone to drive you.
You will be awake during the test. You may feel some discomfort when the IV is placed into your arm. You may also feel some pressure at the site when the catheter is inserted. You may feel your heart skipping beats or racing at times.
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia).
You may need to have other tests before this study is done.
An EPS may be done to:
Abnormal results may be due to abnormal heart rhythms that are too slow or too fast. These may include:
There may be other causes that are not on this list.
The health care provider must find the location and type of heart rhythm problem in order to determine the proper treatment.
The procedure is very safe in most cases. Possible risks include:

The Iowa Department of Transportation is counting on a "crossover" on Interstate 29 south of Exit 32 in western Mills County to provide relief to flood-detoured motorists utilizing the Plattsmouth Bridge to travel between Iowa and Nebraska. The IDOT implemented the temporary crossover last Wednesday.
Nearly a year ago to the day, it was the Glenwood baseball team tossing its gloves in the air and dog piling on the pitcher's mound at Harlan's Jim Goeser field as the Rams advanced in the Class 3A post-season with a win over the Cyclones.
- Taylor Kaufman, Sr., Glenwood*
n Went 6-3 on the mound with 113 strikeouts in 55 1/3 innings; also hit .568 with 10 HRs and 59 RBIs.
C Seth Phillips, So., Fremont-Mills
- Hit .345 with 17 RBIs.
IF Joey Carlson, Sr., Fremont-Mills
- Hit .444 with nine doubles and 21 RBIs. Also stole 13 bases.
IF Nathaniel Bledsoe, Sr., Glenwood
- Third basemen hit .309 while smacking 10 doubles and driving in 35 runs.
IF Josh Keim, Sr., Glenwood
Glenwood firefighters spent about an hour early Friday evening, July 22, putting out an electrical fire in the attic of a house at 505 Grove Street.
Conditions on the hot roof were compounded by temperatures in the 90s and high humidty. Bottled water was distributed to help the firefighters stay hydrated.
The fire was contained with minimal water damage to the structure.
SHENANDOAH— Shortly after being dismissed to go see family, Scott Kester first went to see Brenda Maher, the wife of Sgt. Brent Maher.
Kester wanted to offer his condolences, more formally, to Maher's wife.
Upon the recommendation of a structural engineer, the city of Glenwood has determined a pair of Town Square buildings are unsafe after structural problems were discovered in them forcing the relocations of the two buildings' tenants.
RAGBRAI riders received a warm reception - in more ways than one - when they arrived in Glenwood Saturday for the start of their 454-mile trek across the state of Iowa.
As waters rise and warnings persist that flooding is still imminent in and around Mills County, displaced residents are seeking out alternative living spaces.
About a dozen of those displaced homeowners have taken up residence in Mills County's campgrounds.
A Nebraska man died from injuries he suffered in a collision early Saturday afternoon on Interstate 29 west of Pacific Junction.
Michael J. Eppenbach, 60, of Ord, Neb., was pronounced dead at Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha.
One of RAGBRAI's time-honored traditions is the latest victim of the historic flooding taking place on the Missouri River.

Auckland hope the messy, uneven start to the domestic T20 competition can work to their advantage as they chase a third straight title.
They host Canterbury at Eden Park tonight in their second game of the HRV Cup. Their opening win over Wellington was on November 16 but their remaining nine round-robin fixtures are compressed neatly into a 26-day period, during which they're hoping to gather momentum.
"The draw has been kind to us, nine games back to back. It's important to get off to a good start. It gives you a bit of a buffer so you're not playing catch-up," captain Gareth Hopkins said.
Both Auckland imports, former England international Phil Mustard and Andre Adams, are in the 12 for this summer's first T20 meeting of last season's finalists.
Although Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Mitchell McClenaghan and Michael Bates are in South Africa on international duty, Hopkins is happy with the depth of the squad.
"Now it's just a matter of how we execute on the field," he said.
•An unbeaten 121 by test batsman Kane Williamson steered Northern Districts to a six-wicket win over Wellington in the capital yesterday.
Chasing 194, they reached 196 for four off 47.4 overs. Spare a thought for Wellington keeper Luke Ronchi, who took eight catches and scored two hundreds in the match.
Otago and Central Districts drew their rain-affected game in Dunedin, in which CD took first innings points.

It was an awesome historic victory, and season. It feels good, I know. I can just barely remember. Some teams in big games just seem to be better than the sum of their parts and rise up higher than they would normally- and some just seem to consistently fail to.
An incredible late-season and playoffs:looking like a mediocre team from a crappy division, they were seemingly touched by lightning, going on to defeat each vaunted opponant playing old style NFC East football.
I am seriously jealous, but of course I'm used to it by now.
Well congratulations again on a truly legendary season, the kind we used to have.

I would like to hear from members who have experience with "VP Queens" .
I'd also be interested in knowing how the VP queen-daughters performed.
I would like to hear from members who have experience with "VP Queens" .
I'd also be interested in knowing how the VP queen-daughters performed.
Trying to think inside the box...
I'm at a loss, What's a VP queen? Jack
I guess you don't have experience with them....
Trying to think inside the box...
And it looks like nobody else has either. Jack
I hope you get the answer you're looking for I was wondering about the allegro line myself.
Generally speaking I'm skeptical of buying from stock that has been breed to maintain their "survivor" genetics, so to speak. It's very difficult to standardize, quantify, validate, or authenticate if a queen is a 'survivor', or which one is a better 'survivor' than the next. It's easy to see the MH traits when you buy a queen, or the increased honey production from another strain, but how do you see the 'survivor' traits? Wait until your bees don't leave?
That being said, I always like to keep my ears open to hearing good things about new stock, whatever the genetics.
I have talked to Adam on the phone, "Allegro" is their version of Italian.
Their website address is: http://www.vpqueenbees.com/
I think you can search and see that folks are very happy with them myself included. They have spoken several times at EAS and are featured in a few articles in ABJ. For for those in the know, one of these queens live at a very special home which speaks for itself.
I have a couple of 2nd year daughters or grandaughterse from 2008 queens that are strong performers and essentially mite free, (although I do use powdered sugar dusting as prevention).
I found a VP Queen...
She's in this hive:
Trying to think inside the box...
I bought six queens form them last May. Three of each line. All six built up into strong enough hives to produce around seventy pounds of surplus honey. They were very gentle and calm on the comb when worked. Produced beautiful comb with minimal propollis. All showed excellent varroa resistance. All six went into winter well stocked with honey and pollen. And so far all are still alive. As of this date I would rate them A++. I plan on using any survivors to produce daughter queens. They have greatly benefited my genetic diversity in my quest to be varroa and tracheal treatment free.
VP queens were great to deal with and delivered as promised. They are just what the beekeeping industry needs for breeding better bees.
The Busy Bee teaches two lessons: One is not to be idle and the other is not to get stung.
We've been working with Charlie over the year and I'll tell you it has been really fun
to work with him in this setting!
Thanks for the feedback--it really is kind!
Adam Finkelstein
I will be getting a VP Spartan queen or two this spring...can't wait for the order info to get here Adam
The main difference between our two "lines" (or phenotypes) we produce from our breeding population is the fashion
in which the queens build-up and cluster-down for over-Wintering.
Our Allegro builds up quickly in the Spring (or when there is newly available pollen and feed)
whereas the Spartan builds more slowly.
Our Spartan stores more in the broodnest in the Fall and forms
a tighter cluster over-Winter than the Allegro.
However: sometimes the lines act like the other and sometimes like neither--
there is SO much variation in heredity that only broad classifications are accurate.
I enjoy working both of our lines and our customers are split 50/50 between ordering the two.
Adam Finkelstein
So, the Allegro are NWC and Spartan are Italians. Or is that too simplified?

This will give you a short history of what we're having fun with...
Adam Finkelstein
Looks like you guys know what you are doing. Looks like extremely interesting work. I envy you.

3 Bills a Result of Our Citizens' Budget Project
When we embarked on our Citizens' Budget project two years ago, we wanted it to be a big deal. It had to be, it was an enormous undertaking. We wanted to leave no stone unturned in our quest for a fiscally sound Colorado state budget. The project ended up requiring months of time from our most dedicated researchers and writers. In the end, we had a 170 page document that touched on all areas of our budget and offered sound solutions to our most urgent needs. Additionally, we made a 6-page executive summary of our findings for those who don't want the big kahuna.
When the Citizens' Budget first dropped, we found it was extremely popular with the Tea Party and limited government crowd. We ordered hundreds of physical copies and could hardly keep those puppies in stock! But when it came to our state legislature, there was hardly a peep. 2011 came and went and we wondered why no legislators jumped on any of our suggestions. Yeah, some of them are politically unpopular, but many of them are not. What gives?
But now in 2012 some brave state legislators have taken up the cause for fiscal responsibility! For a great overview of 3 bills working their way through the legislature thanks to our project, look no further than Wayne Laugesen's editorial in today's Colorado Springs Gazette. Wayne praises our Citizens' Budget and goes on to explain how our suggestions to shore up the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) made their way into 3 bills thus far.
The first is a bill carried by Rep. Chris Holbert of Parker. The bill "would cap the health benefit for early retirees at $230 a month and eliminate health care payments for retirees who have reached the age of eligibility for Medicare." Secondly, we have Senate Bill 119 carried by Sen. Tim Neville of Littleton. His bill "would force the board of directors of PERA to adjust benefits in order to "maintain the long-term actuarial soundness of each trust fund." Our Fiscal Policy Center director and lead author of the Citizens' Budget Penn Pfiffner gives a great explanation of exactly what that means,
"Today, the PERA board tells state government to get the money it needs. This bill says they have to adjust benefits accordingly. Once taxpayers have made their contribution, it will be up to PERA to make it work. We would no longer be responsible for how PERA handles the money.
Finally we have a Senate Bill 82 carried by Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch. His bill "would increase the age at which new public employees would be eligible for retirement benefits." For example, today some new hires can plan on retiring at 58 years old thanks to PERA. Sen. Harvey's bill would increase the age to 68 – the same as Social Security.
It's exciting to see that the tremendous work our research team did two years ago is bearing fruit in 2012. We encourage all legislators to read their copy of our Citizens' Budget (yes, you have one. If you can't find yours, contact us immediately!) and take on the challenge to strike at the heart of our continued budget deficits. What's the heart of our budget issues? As Penn Pfiffner says, "it's a structural problem." In other words, it's time we discard all the accounting gimmicks we have to use each year to balance the budget. If the Citizens' Budget were in charge, we wouldn't need any tricks to fix a deficit because there wouldn't be a deficit year after year.

Hey Rhonda - You're the best.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Yes thanks, that is helpful for all.
Rhonda, you just know how to make things look so easy and you explain things the way I can learn. My personality needs to know why I am doing something. You feed my need. Thank-you so much for teaching us like you do. Thank-you.
Rhonda- I want to thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us. BIG HUG!!
Can't wait to make those "wings" blocks from your e-book - I've been working on the antique log cabins and am going to need a break very soon!!! :D :D :D
I am glad you all think it is ok. I hope it helps.
I sat down this morn while it was quiet and made some HST's per your tut and they came out wonderful. I have never had them look that good. Thank you.
This looks great.
Thanks for sharing! :D
Thanks everyone. I was putting the pics on and thinking this is such a basic thing is it worth putting on. So I am glad it is of help to you all.
To me making half square triangles is the next step up from cutting plain squares. I hate to see so many struggling with making them so I thought I would post my method.
CJ I am so happy that it works well for you! So now you can put together any quilt block with HSTs and there are tons of them out there!!
Happy quilting everyone!!
That helps soooo much! My other problem is when I sew the pieces together I can't get the seam going in the right directions then it is lumpy. What do you reccommend.

Couple celebrates 70th anniversary
RUSSELL COUNTY, Va. - You could call it a milestone, or in this modern age a rare thing, to be married to the same person for 70 years.
On Monday, a Russell County, Virginia couple celebrated that achievement.
Ralph and Mildred Davis made quite the couple when they first got married back in the early 1940s, and over the years they have raised quite the family with three daughters, six grandchildren, and now three great-grandchildren.
They met in the same neighborhood where they've lived all those years. "We used to be kindly neighbors, lived about two miles apart. When we'd go to Lebanon, Virginia I'd see her. She lived up the road about a mile. We got together and fell in love," Ralph said.
They even remember the preacher who gave them their vows 70 years ago -- Alonzo Monday was his name, Ralph told us.
Ralph has farmed all those years the couple has been together. "I raised tobacco, had a small dairy here for awhile, then I had beef cattle. I had sheep until a dog put me out of business," he said.
But to be married for 70 years, there has got to be a secret, some magic formula -- but the answer is a simple one. "We respect each other and we love each other. Those are the two outstanding things that I would think that has held us together for 70 years. He respects me and I respect him, and we love each other," Mildred said.
It sounds like a slogan for a t-shirt, or just a formula for a happy marriage.

Garofalo: Cain's rise in support proves Republican racism, or something
posted at 1:25 pm on September 29, 2011 by Ed Morrissey
I'm loath to post something from the supremely irrelevant Janeane Garofalo or the slightly-less-irrelevant Keith Olbermann, except that this clip encapsulates perfectly how intellectually vapid the Republicans-are-racists argument truly is. If African-Americans don't do well among Republicans, it's evidence of racism, and now if they do get support among Republicans, that's also racism. It's an unanswerable assertion that not only is completely circular in its logic, it's also lunacy. Basically, Garofalo is kind of like a cult member who insists that every data point supports her religious belief, regardless of whether it contradicts with other data points that are also used in defense of groupthink. That means she's making the argument in the right venue, anyway.
In an appearance on Wednesday night's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" on Current TV, Garofalo explained her theory.
"Herman Cain is probably well-liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican Party, conservative movement and tea party movement," Garofalo said.
"People like Karl Rove like to keep the racism very covert and so Herman Cain provides this great opportunity so he can say, 'Look: This is not a racist anti-immigrant, anti-female, anti-gay movement. Look: We have a black man.' And look he's polling well and he won a straw poll."
So Karl Rove is the secret force behind Herman Cain? Well, that's certainly … ridiculous. It fits right in with the paranoia that cult members usually exhibit, however. All that's left is a rant about Halliburton and corporate America, and … oh, wait. Just saw the rest of the clip, and it's all there.

To think of how many population Canada has compares to USA, the gold medals and the total medal counts for Canada were amazingly impressive!
To think of how many population Canada has compares to USA, the gold medals and the total medal counts for Canada were amazingly impressive!
I am a bit confused as to why Canada is not considered the medal leader. Is ranking by total medal count a North American/ European thing? IIRC, NBC did this as well at the Beijing Olympics. In my country, it's always by gold medal count (in which case, Canada's on top!)
Lemme go re-watch some programmes before I post on my fav moments. I have so many!
Favourite moments:
1. Plush's face (shown briefly when camera was sweeping over the audience) when Takahashi pulled off a superb SP and scored over 90
2. V/M's FD
3. The adorable Mini-Yuna
4. Mao's ecstatic smiles after her flawless SP (hadn't seen her smile like this for so long.....)
5. Yuna bursting into tears as soon as she finished her mesmerising LP
Worst moments
1. Most of men's performances - splat, splat, bomb, bomb, bomb, splat, bomb
2. Russian ice dancers OD - never thought you could actually be insulting while ice dancing
3. Mao sobbing in the interview after LP, saying "those 4 minutes were so long" - I could almost feel the pain...
One of my favorite moments: Min-Jung Kwak's reaction in the kiss and cry after her LP. At first she was making some strange faces, she seems a little different in a very cute way, and then when she saw her scores she was so excited! It's nice to see young skaters be so enthused about their sport and performances!
Best moments:
1. Xue & Hongbo winning GOLD!
2. Dai's SP and LP which shows me that Men's skating is still alive!
Should've been more than Bronze!
3. Johnny's LP!!!
4. Denis Ten's SP; the boy's definitely "got" it!
1. By far ... Lysacek being ... """... Olympic Champion ... """ ... the dullest and ugliest thing who's ever entered the top of an Olympic podium ...
2. Chan's big mouth ... in opposite to his mediocre performances ...
3. Brian's crash ...
4. Johnny being underscored ...
5. Mao's sad face ...
Another favorite moment of this Olympic game - Canada won gold in men's hockey! What a game!
Heh. Small nitpick, but I've heard this sentiment expressed elsewhere and I just wanted to point out that she did not pronounce Yuna's name correctly. She said it like, "Yow-na", with a diphthong at the end of the first syllable. Yuna's name, in Korean, should be pronounced more like "Yunn-ah", (short u sound, of course) if that makes sense. No diphthong. It might seem like a small thing but tbh it grated on my nerves every time I heard the announcer pronounce her name like that. Not that the American media pronounces it any more correctly...I noticed she pronounced Yuna Kim the way it is spoken in Korean too.
(Back to your regularly scheduled thread...)
Sale and Pelletier's expression after Trankov and Mukhortova's freeskate.
My favorite moments
1. Yuna's breathtaking SP and LP, and her beautiful teers what was rolling down her face after her gorgeous LP. (i won't be able to forget that night forever.)
2. Rochaett's brave performance. (actually, she was deserved silver medal)
3. Brian Orser finally getting his gold?
4. Scott and Tessa's program was very romantic.
5. Stephan Lambiel's performance!

I have some Prairie Blazing Star growing on our place. I went out today and stripped off the stems to gather seed and obtained about 5 gallons of material. Anyone know how much actual seed I may have.
It appears I need to sow the seed this fall.
Has anyone actually grown this from seed?

An odd dilemma was faced at Bubba Raceway Park as the power grid that included Bubba Raceway Park was knocked out meaning the only lights were those of the enclosed trailers, personal street cars, and cellphones. This all happened moments before the first feature was to take place.
Twisted Tea Top Gun Sprint Cars, Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators will all race next Saturday. RaceCar Engineering Late Models will make their race up, albeit for no championship points. The Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds, Demolition Derby, Buddy's Home Furnishings Limited Late Models, and Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks will all be removed from that race date.
The Heat Races, as of 11:00 P.M. local time, would count for championship points. Check www.bubbaracewaypark.com for official results.
For the fans: No worries! All ticket stubs, pit passes, and armbands will be honored next Saturday night, August 4th! Have it with you and show it when entering and you will be good to go!
For drivers: Armbands are good for whichever race(s) you were entered in. We will re-heat race to set that night's line-up.
To recap: All ticket stubs, pit passes, and armbands will be honored.
Race Schedule For August 4, 2012:
- Twisted Tea Top Gun Sprint Cars
- RaceCar Engineering Late Models (No Championship Points Awarded)
- Hobby Stocks
- 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks
- Rent-N-Roll Gladiators
We hope to see you next week. For more info please go to www.bubbaracewaypark.com or call the Speedway at 352-622-9400!

AmeriCorps helps your organization implement those projects or ideas that require special funding or assistance. Through programs and grants, the Corporation for National and Community Service provides human capital—people power—to help you address emerging needs in your community.
Each year, national and community service participants and grantees recruit hundreds of thousands of volunteers, who donate millions of hours of service to their communities. AmeriCorps*State programs focus on direct service to the community with limited fundraising duties.
If you are interested in starting an AmeriCorps program or partnering with another organization to host AmeriCorps members it is important to learn as much as you can about the program and process.
AmeriCorps is about:
AmeriCorps is not about:
AmeriCorps programs must have:
Member Minimum
If you are only looking for 2-4 members to join your organization you may consider partnering with another organization. There is a 10 member minimum for all AmeriCorps grants.
All Programs should impact one of these six key areas: disaster services, economic opportunity, education, environmental stewardship, healthy futures, and veterans and military families. Below are some additional areas to consider. For further information about the programs add-on's below contact us.
Encore Programs
Programs that engage a significant number of participants 55 years or older may be eligible to obtain funding for an Encore Program. Approximately 10% of AmeriCorps funding is set aside by Congress to support these programs.
Professional Corps
Places AmeriCorps members as teachers, health care providers, police officers, engineers, or other professionals in communities where there is an inadequate number of such professionals.
If you have completed the steps above and believe your organization is ready for an AmeriCorps program, then go to the "Request for Proposals" and "Application Instructions" which will provide details for starting the grant application process.
Sometimes people ask us, "What is the proper way to spell AmeriCorps and how is it pronounced?"
Always spell AmeriCorps with a capitalized "C" and no space between the "i" and the "C". When speaking about the AmeriCorps program, the "p" and the "s" are silent (i.e. sounds like "A-mer-i-Core").
Keep in mind that AmeriCorps participants are called "members," because they are not employees of the organizations they serve.
National Service programs are available to all, without regard to race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex, political affiliation, or, in most instances, religion.

Inaccuracy is a terrible thing Peter. It leads directly away from truth, or science. Start to think about the accuracy of what you want to say before you write. Or read it back before you send.
It seems to me Peter that you are flailing about in an attempt to get help to learn how to keep bees without treatments successfully. Instead of repeatedly insulting those who are doing it, you could try asking for help and advice. You could read their book and websites.
Give up the peer reviewed work for this purpose. It really isn't helpful. Ask the people who do it. On the appropriate forum would be best.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? In the case of Machete, the Mexploitation picture directed by Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis, it was the trailer, two-plus minutes of B-movie bliss that appeared in the failed 2007 double feature from Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, Grindhouse.
The (then fake) coming attraction introduced Machete (ex-con bit player Danny Trejo), a craggy, tattoo'd former federale who'd been "set up, double-crossed and left for dead!" Proving that less equals more, the feature-length expansion retains Jeff Fahey as plot instigator and Cheech Marin as a gun-toting padre while adding Jessica Alba as a customs agent, Michelle Rodriguez (no relation) as a freedom fighter, Steven Seagal as the drug lord who murdered Machete's wife, and Robert De Niro (!) as a corrupt senator.
Alas, not even Lindsay Lohan — doing a cartoonish riff on her tabloid persona (is this even possible?) — can bring this rotten egg to a boil.

Mick supports the Journal after 50 years and a merger
When you visit Laura Mick of Pine River this time of year, what you notice first about her Norway Brook Apartment are the 10 Christmas stockings hanging on the inside of her door.
These stockings were part of a Pine River Journal and Lake Country Echo promotion. When you purchased a gift subscription around Christmastime, it came with a stocking.
Mick's son, Wyatt Dupont, has been giving her a Journal subscription as a Christmas present since before the promotion began.
"Every year he brings me the Pine River paper. I kind of hinted for him to bring me the one that was in Pequot," Mick said.
Even before Dupont started buying Mick's annual Pine River Journal subscription, she had been a loyal subscriber since 1963, when Mick and her family moved into the community from Silver Creek near Monticello. Back then the newspaper was a way for her to get to know her neighbors.
"We didn't know a soul in town ... They used to have ladies that would write news items from a neighborhood. They had them from Longville, Backus and around. That's how we got to know them," Mick said. "We didn't know the people, but we would read the articles, so the name would start to stick with us."
At that time news in the newspaper was not limited to government, business, education, road construction and other big news items, but also included information about the daily lives of local people. By reading about people going on vacation or visiting with neighbors and family, Mick was able to get to know her neighbors before they ever met.
Mick's mother used to write similar community news for a newspaper in Annandale, so she has a certain appreciation and understanding for the press. For the 50 years she has lived in Pine River or Backus, she has had a subscription every year. In that time she has noted the changes in the newspaper's style and content.
"That old paper years ago was news from one end to the other. Then gradually businesses would do their own advertising and I suppose they wouldn't advertise in the paper and they gradually left. Then it was more like a school paper, you might say," Mick said. "Now, you get a lot of what they are doing with road work and construction and changes and things."
Mick had considered subscribing to the Lake Country Echo years ago, so she has enjoyed the Pineandlakes Echo Journal since the merger.
"I like it all. I like the new paper. I wish they had done that quite a few years ago. I wouldn't be without the Journal," Mick said.
The PineandLakes Echo Journal is again offering its stocking promotion. Buy a gift subscription for $30-$37 at the Echo Journal office in Pequot Lakes and get a stocking as wrapping.

Town Square
Romney agrees with Obama on Healthcare not a tax - RomneyCare was not a tax
Original post made by Kerry Barnes, Green Acres, on Jul 2, 2012
FEHRNSTROM: "The governor believes that what we put in place in Massachusetts was a penalty and he disagrees with the court's ruling that the mandate was a tax."
Eric is the guy who carries Mitt Romney's Etch-A-Sketch around the campaign trail, instantly ready to erase Mitt's past:
FEHRNSTROM: "Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch-A-Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and restart all of over again."
The whole segment:
Host: What you just said is that Governor Romney agrees that it's not a tax. But you guys call it a penalty.
ERIC FEHRNSTROM (TOP ROMNEY AIDE): The governor disagreed with the court. He agreed with the dissent that was written by Justice Scalia which very clearly stated that the mandate was not a tax.
Host: So ... I think we're talking around each other. The governor does not believe the mandate is a tax, that's what you're saying?
FEHRNSTROM: The governor believes that what we put in place in Massachusetts was a penalty and he disagrees with the court's ruling that the mandate was a tax.
Host: But he agrees with the president that it is not, that you shouldn't call the tax penalty a tax, you should call it a penalty or a fee or a fine?
FEHRNSTROM: That's correct.
Conservatives beware, Mitt agrees with Obama on RomneyCare/ObamaCare/ Heritage plan, etc.. The EtchASketch is being used with increased frequency
Conservatives need a third party Tea Party candidate in Tampa. Or it's a another Obama/McCain blowout - Obama by at least 75 EV's.

Here come the crazies -- it's a zillion dollar tax on everyone, itts a goverment takeover, even though we all use private insurance, Obamas a socialist etc.
But Mitt agrees.
Not a tax.
a resident of Ventura
on Jul 2, 2012 at 11:46 am
Wingnutville ignores that we get all the great things from RomneyObamaCare and all they can scream about is some stupid tax thing thatRomey disagrees with.
Stupidest election campaign of all time. Keep it up, Mitt.
a resident of Green Acres
on Jul 3, 2012 at 9:16 am
Not a tax, as Mitt says, and the President's statement from another thread:
- "First, if you're one of the more than 250 million Americans who already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance -- this law will only make it more secure and more affordable.
- Insurance companies can no longer impose lifetime limits on the amount of care you receive.
- They can no longer discriminate against children with preexisting conditions.
- They can no longer drop your coverage if you get sick.
- They can no longer jack up your premiums without reason.
- They are required to provide free preventive care like check-ups and mammograms -- a provision that's already helped 54 million Americans with private insurance.
- And by this August, nearly 13 million of you will receive a rebate from your insurance company because it spent too much on things like administrative costs and CEO bonuses, and not enough on your health care.
There's more.
- Because of the Affordable Care Act, young adults under the age of 26 are able to stay on their parent's health care plans -- a provision that's already helped 6 million young Americans.
- And because of the Affordable Care Act, seniors receive a discount on their prescription drugs -- a discount that's already saved more than 5 million seniors on Medicare about $600 each.
All of this is happening because of the Affordable Care Act."

Romney made a splash on Thursday, the day of the Roberts decision and hasn't alked about it since. He gets it. And Frum gets it.
It's the law. The rest don't get it.
Frum: "The Republican Plan B is to repeal Obamacare on Day 1 of a Romney presidency.
Good luck with that.
First, today's Supreme Court decision will make it a lot harder to elect Mitt Romney. President Obama has just been handed a fearsome election weapon. 2012 is no longer exclusively a referendum on the president's economic management. 2012 is now also a referendum on Mitt Romney's healthcare plans. The president can now plausibly say that a vote for the Republicans is a vote to raise prescription drug costs on senior citizens and to empower insurance companies to deny coverage to children for pre-existing conditions. Those charges will hurt—and maybe hurt enough to sway the election."
Prediction by a lot of astute watchers -- this is the point that the slow ebb and flow becomes, not a tidal wave, but a flow to Obama. It's already started in the swing states - Obama up by 8 in that one outlier by NBC. It'll go slowly through the dog days, a bump for Mitt on the VP choice and another at the convention, but it's done. Over. It'll stil be close, but the cake is baked. Obama by 75 E votes, maybe losing NC. Pop will be cloaser, but doesn't matter.
No one's willing to admit it yet.
The GOP recriminations, especially between the mainstream corporatists, the Rove moneyed elite and the Tea party astroturfers and it's real grassroots base, will be ugly.
Splinters, unless someone rides through to keep the GOP together for 2014.
a resident of Woodside
on Jul 4, 2012 at 11:38 am
The following is why I think it's the beginning of the end for Mitt. That's obviously a prediction, we'll see.
After almost a week of hiding after his comment on the Roberts Court decision, Mitt came out of hiding and flipflopped like a fish all over the place. From Politico:
"In an interview with CBS today, Mitt Romney contradicted his own campaign, and himself. First, he threw his top aide Eric Fehrnstrom
Glad we cleared all that up."
Mitt's started with the talking point that the freerider penalty was a middle class tax hike, an absurd and fact free notion.
[Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]
The flip flops are a real problem, especially with his record and legendary prowess at flipflopping.

I don't think anyone cares whether it is a tax or a penalty accessed through the tax code.
Americans DO CARE when they see Mitt call it a tax a few years ago, then insist RomneyCare is a penalty, then his campaign says again it's a penalty this week, then Mitt (with enough stalling to see what the polls tell him to say) calls it a tax again.
A quadruple Mitt flip flop?
It ends with Mitt calling the freeloader penalty a tax.
Which makes Mitt a governor that raised taxes in Massachusetts.
Little wonder Mitt ran from Massachusetts, too afraid to run for a second term. A republican who raised taxes. In the mold of Reagan's 11 tax hikes, one guesses...
The biggest issue is whether Mitt Romney can take one principled position and stick with it. He hasn't yet.
a resident of Green Acres
on Jul 5, 2012 at 10:13 am
I'm not alone, here's the Wall Street Journal editors on losers from Massachusetts - Web Link
"If Mitt Romney loses his run for the White House, a turning point will have been his decision Monday to absolve President Obama of raising taxes on the middle class. He is managing to turn the only possible silver lining in Chief Justice John Roberts's ObamaCare salvage operation—that the mandate to buy insurance or pay a penalty is really a tax—into a second political defeat. [...]
Perhaps Mr. Romney is slowly figuring this out, because in a July 4 interview he stated himself that the penalty now is a "tax" after all. But he offered no elaboration, and so the campaign looks confused in addition to being politically dumb."
Losing the Journal is one thing, then there's the far right weekly standard and Bill Kristol:
"Remember Michael Dukakis (1988) and John Kerry (2004)? It's possible to lose a winnable presidential election to a vulnerable incumbent in the White House (or in the case of 1988, a sitting vice president). So, speaking of losing candidates from Massachusetts: Is it too much to ask Mitt Romney to get off autopilot and actually think about the race he's running?"
Dukakis, Kerry and Romney.
Kristol has quite the Hall of Fame of Massachusetts Moderates.
Wonder if Kristol agrees with my statement above: Conservatives need a third party Tea Party candidate in Tampa. Or it's a another Obama/McCain blowout - Obama by at least 75 EV's.

2008 Karl Lagerfeld to appear in GTA IV
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 10:57 AM MDT | By Neil + ash_735
Women's Wear Daily today revealed that German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has contributed to Grand Theft Auto IV by appearing as a DJ on one of the in-game radio stations and providing a selection of his favorite tunes for the game soundtrack. He's the guy on K109 known simply as "DJ Karl". Rockstar Games also released a new piece of game artwork featuring DJ Karl, whose words on the radio are deemed to be "off-color".
Today's announcement is likely to be one of the first of many forays into the mass media for GTA IV. Expect to see more famous names cropping up as we approach the game's release.

From the Left Hand Corner: There is a difference
It remains to be known how much difference one congressman can make in Washington. Certainly if you have been watching many national news programs and informational commentaries lately, you've noted that our Rick Nolan has made "quite a splash."
Rick appears to have received more widespread early acclaim than any other "new" congressman/woman. There is little doubt that he will account for more than his 1/435 of impact on Washington, D.C., with his work ethic and pragmatic populist approach.
But, he is only one voice speaking against an awful lot of negative entrenchment.
What we do know already in the 8th Congressional District is that we have a different level of representation here in Echoland. Congressman Rick Nolan has only been in office a few months; however, he is clearly fulfilling his campaign promise that he is here to work for all of us in the 8th District. He stands ready and able to represent us, Republicans, Democrats and non-partisans alike.
Congressman Jim Oberstar provided aggressive and effective constituent service for this area for a lot of years. That was particularly so after Ken Hasskamp moved up to the Brainerd office. But, as we experienced during the latter years of Oberstar's tenure, the huge time demands of chairing the transportation committee drew from his actual presence in this immediate area of the vast 8th District.
Congressman Chip Cravaack certainly tried to provide area constituent service, but in his limited time, it never really got off the ground, in large part because he just didn't know the area. Not many knew if he even had a staff office for the area, and some of his "town meeting" efforts and appearances ended up being Republican only.
In contrast, when Congressman Rick Nolan learns of a significant problem in this area he delves in full bore. Some weeks ago, he, like the rest of us, first heard of the imminent closing of the Wasau plant in Brainerd. He was busy in session in Washington that week.
During the week, he started making phone calls and numerous other contacts. He immediately changed his own weekend schedule. He finished the session in Washington on Thursday and was in Brainerd all day Friday. As a former owner of a wood product business, Nolan knows that the threatened Wasau job loss is not just the 60 plant jobs. He understands the ripple effect on raw material suppliers and the numerous support entity businesses and jobs that are jeopardized.
With his full personal involvement and the work of his staff, they made arrangements and met on Friday with all available management representatives and the local union. They included all area state representatives (Republican and DFL) in the meetings. Nolan arranged to have presence and involvement of the State Department of Economic Development and the local economic development office. They got Brainerd elected officials to the meetings and also invited and involved the Brainerd Chamber of Commerce. Workforce development for the area was involved, as was CLC and even the Initiative Foundation. Nolan personally contacted and engaged staff from offices of Sens. Franken and Klobuchar.
Congressman Nolan didn't jump into the Wasau situation, making or mouthing talking points. He didn't begin by playing too-common blame games (even though the situation is curiously suspicious, given the recent multi-million dollar plant update and recent profitability reports). Instead, he gets fully into the fact situation before making pronouncements.
First and foremost, he is truly listening to the people who know the problem the best, the ones who are actually, directly living in it. He gets into the problem in sufficient depth so he can act and react with substance, not superficially.
Nolan didn't leave the unresolved situation with just a big splash that first weekend. He is continuing efforts to get at the cause or core problem while at the same time continuing to seek the best collective ways of dealing with the negative situation as it exists. There may be no miracle result, but we can well know that we are getting the very best effort and best congressional representation we could hope for in such situations.
In essence, Nolan organized an immediate "all hands on deck" approach to a serious area problem, in a non-partisan total community response.

Think the bees know how to swim?
We have had a lot of snow in the last month or so plus tons of rain. We are flooded in a lot of areas.
Here is the bridge I would take to get to my bees:
Here is another pic of the bridge:
And here is the picture of the farm where I keep my bees. The road is covered with water. I cant see the bees. They might have survived. They are on bricks and at the highest part of the farm but without being able to get out there, I cant see if they are alive or not.
If anyone wants to contribute to my bee fund, they are more then welcome to. I am pretty sure I lost a lot of my hives
