go niners!!
go niners!!
you were WAY more humble than you needed to be in that assessment.
you've got the advantage in the secondary as well as the running game.
you're the favorites in this game, just like last year, we're the underdogs. No question.
Anyone trying to explain away a different fav/underdog scenario than that is trying to make themselves feel better.
As of today (after watching houston against the jets), the 49ers are easily the best football team in the NFL. Easily.
Unbeatable? no team is. but i'm not a ****. We've got a 3 in 10 chance of beating you, as is, next week.
if we get a bunch of banged up guys back, we have a better shot, but under no circumstances have i seen anything from the giants this year that says their better than the 49ers.
but the season is still young.
Whats your problem pal? Why dont you get to Modells and get yourself a 49rs SB Sweatshirt for Sunday.......or right
they have not won any for 16 years......might be out of stock
The Giants are going to make this a statement game and destroy these fools

A rapidly spreading meme that originally came from CSI:Miami. Horatio would say a sarcastic/corny/funny/stupid line and then put on his sunglasses. Right after this, the theme song for the show would blare "YEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!". This is now used to signify something funny or corny yet to come
"These charity people keep calling!" "It Looks like" *Puts on Sunglasses* "They give charity a bad name" YEAAAHHHHH!!!

The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office said it will conduct a DWI checkpoint somewhere in the parish on Saturday.
"This checkpoint will target individuals driving under the influence of alcohol and/or narcotics," said Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers. "They have proven to be very effective in discouraging citizens from driving while impaired and people are more likely to designate a driver when they know sobriety checkpoints are being conducted."
Myers said the state and Lake Charles police will participate in the checkpoint, which is funded by a grant from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.

We were all packed up ready to go and could see it would be awhile before we would be leaving so Sarah and I went for a snorkel. The tide was in so it made it much better. The visibility was 30 meters plus, it was amazingly clear! We saw a turtle which we swam with for ages as it just cruised around. Very kewl. We finally left at 10am 2 hours later than we were told! :S We boated out to the edge of the reef where we all jumped in the water and hung on to the ropes and out rigger as they towed us around the reefs edge
Then we headed to the next snorkeling spot 30 minutes away on a small random Island that was taken over by birds. It was okay here, not much to see apart from a few small fish but the reef wasn't that great!
We headed back to the mainland and everyone was passed out most the way, including our guide! We went via Panduan Island for a quick look and we were back at 2pm then took a tricycle back to the Eco Tourism office to have a quick fresh shower and get our packs. We caught the 3pm nice air con bus to Mamburao which was 2 hours away. Found a place to stay then chilled out, La Gensol Plaza Hotel 750P. Had a Face time date with the family even though the wifi kept cutting out it was good to catch up with Hayley.
Brought a delicious BBQ chicken for dinner and had some buns with it. It was the good shit!! Haha had a much needed early night! :)

Zoo Tycoon lets you build your own zoo. Choose from many locations and earn money, buy exhibits, and animals. You can even hire staff to take care of your zoo. There are many animals to choose from and you get to name them. Create mini exhibits or full exhibits – you decide the admission price.
What will kids like about this game?
There are many animals ranging from macaws to tigers and many habitat choices for them. As long as you keep the animals happy and well fed, money will automatically appear in your bank so you can expand your zoo.
What tips would you give other players?
Although it might be tempting, don't buy until you have a lot of spare money. Then you won't have enough money to feed the animals you already have. Last but not least, remember to save your game so you don't lose your zoo.

...about Your Neighbors
If you needed a food pantry or emergency shelter, how would you locate it? Google? Yellow Pages? Your place of worship? While most of us will never experience hunger or the threat of homelessness, thousands* of our neighbors do every year, and have turned to 2-1-1 @ IMPACT for help in accessing these kinds of resources and many others.
Our call data demonstrates that the issues causing people to struggle the most – whether they're from the heart of Milwaukee, the near Northshore or the southern suburbs – are surprisingly similar. The Top Five Needs of callers from randomly-selected communities – Franklin, Greendale, Shorewood, Wauwatosa and Milwaukee – include the most basic of human needs: Food and Shelter. (See the map below)
Milwaukee's communities are diverse in some ways. But, wherever you live, you likely have neighbors who need help. If you would like to help them, make a contribution to your community's food pantries, shelters, or other services. Together, we can change our neighbors' lives – and our communities – for good.
* 2-1-1 @ IMPACT is committed to connecting our neighbors to the services they need. This past July, there were 14,792 calls to 2-1-1 @ IMPACT; and in August, the service responded to 11,593 community calls for help. Since 2-1-1 @ IMPACT started operating in 2002, this free, 24/7/365 hotline has responded to almost one million calls from our community.

text: Hi Im new here, seems to be a nice site! I have an 07 Suburban and wanted to ask about putting dual exhaust on it. It has the fuel economy thing going on, when it says it shuts down 4 of the 8 cylinders. Sooooo, will this make it sound like a 6 cylinder with a straight pipe? What are others doing for power & sound increases?? Thanks

Also, we were decimated at the OLB position. When your OLBs can't tackle, the safeties have to compensate. When they do, they get burned on the pass. It was a rough year last year, and it wasn't just one thing.
Still a Jenkins apologist, huh, Breesus?
Posted by Message MISSIPSAINT Time to vote on what to do with the 3 Amigos (Vilma, Smith & Harper). Time to get rid of all these guys. I think Smith would be a solid backup at the 34 de , but not at his price. Harper cant and will not be a 3down safety. Cant cover, cant catch, cant tackle in open space. To say the int he had against Tampa was a good one is just dead wrong. He caught it but all he had to do was come up or dive and there is no question about it. What he did was bend down and wait on the football.

Thanks JP for another book review to add to our list. Looks like you had fun with this one... but not as much fun as we all had at dinner after ChicagoCon!! Glad we could all get together, including Raffy.

Permanent link: [Article]-Applied Security Visualization
Review by JP Bourget, CISSP, MCSE, MS
Having a process to better understand your logs, be it firewall, packet captures, IDS, web server, or proxy logs, is something that many security professionals strive for. We have seen some interesting software over the past few years, such as OSSIM and Splunk. Some vendor's provide excellent log visualization for their products, some don't do enough, or aren't flexible enough. That brings along Applied Security Visualization (ASV) by Raffael Marty. Marty's book gives some valuable insight on how to bridge the fields of IT Security and Data Visualization all in one book. While this book provides a wealth of detailed knowledge, I'm going to point out the major features instead of getting really detailed.

The name may sound French, but this product is born in the USA. LAFACE is named for its founder, Lisa Alexander.
Availability: Out of stock
Hydration is the key to good skin, but some moisturizers can actually work against you, resulting in unwanted shine, clogged pores, and overall irritation. Luckily, LAFACE Laboratories' TRITON for MEN Matifying Moisturiser delivers hydration with a matte finish and none of those side effects. Even better, it's got antioxidants for a serious anti-aging boost.
After cleansing, apply to slightly damp skin.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycerin, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Sodium Hyaluronate,
Capric Triglyceride, Algae Extract, Butylene Glycol, Panthenol, Hydrolyzed (Marine) Collagen,
Tocopherol (vitamin E), Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Allantion, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide,
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Menthyl Ethylamido Oxalate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C),
Teprenone, Ammonium Acryloyldimetyltaurate, VP Copolymer, Bisabolol, Silica, Polysorbate-20-emulsifyer, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Carbomer, Potassium Sorbate
I've tired this one or twice but I guess this really doesn't work that great for me. I have a bit of oily skin and this didn't make it any better. I think this might be better for winter then summer.
This moisturizer feels fantastic and makes your skin feel fresh and young, however it is a bit pricey. Still, of all the moisturizers I've received in my Birchboxes, this one has been my personal favorite.
I enjoy this product a lot. Definitely makes my skin look bright and peppy. That said, it is a little expensive and has diminishing returns.
I love this moisturizer. It is really light and has a great subtle scent. It goes on super easy and has an immediate smoothing effect on my face.
But the price is a little much for me. The fresh feeling after application is wonderful. It has a nice cooling quality that is really wonderful for the summer.

Master of Arts Online
Students interested in the MA in Environmental Studies with a concentration in Sustainable Development and Policy or in Environmental Planning and Management can now obtain their degree online. Students must apply specifically for the online degree. Application requires transcripts that show the student has completed a 300-level or above ecology course with lab with a grade of B or better prior to full admission into the degree program. Students deficient in ecology will be considered for conditional admission and be required to satisfactorily complete the ecology requirement no later than the end of their first year. Online students can fulfill that requirement by taking ecology online with UIS in the fall semester; contact the ENS for other options. All core, concentration, and elective requirements are the same as those for the degree offered on campus.
The Department begins a cohort of new students each fall, and the application due date is the preceeding April 1 for full consideration. Additional applications for summer and spring terms are considered as space permits.
Online majors are typically expected to complete ENS 552 and ENS 551 within their first year of enrollment because these courses establish a common foundation for the remainder of the coursework .
Because Environmental Studies faculty consider that a period of time working in an environmental agency or organization can be a vital part of professional training, students may take ENS 530 Internship (1 to 4 hrs.) as an elective. However, students may not count both ENS 530 and ENS 550 toward their degree requirements.
All students must complete an Education Plan as soon as possible after acceptance into the program. The student and advisor will periodically review the plan together to ensure that all program requirements are met in a timely manner. The plan is kept on file in the ENS program office.
The MS in Environmental Sciences is also available in a fully online format in addition to the on-campus program. All requirements are identical to that of the on-campus MS program.

Irish Crème Brownies
1 1-pound, 3.8-ounce fudge brownie mix (a box that makes a 9x13-inch pan of brownies)
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup Baileys Irish Crème Liquor
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter or margarine (softened)
2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons Baileys Irish Crème Liquor
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 to 3 teaspoons milk
Food coloring, optional
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl combine the brownie mix, oil, 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Crème and eggs. Mix well. Spread into prepared pan. Bake for 24 to 30 minutes. Do not overbake or the brownies will start to harden and stick to the pan. Set aside and let cool for at least 45 minutes.
For the frosting: Beat the 1/2 cup butter until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Crème, vanilla and one teaspoon of milk. Mix well. If necessary, add additional milk to get the frosting to a consistency that it is easy to spread. If making the brownies for a holiday event (such as Easter) add food coloring. Spread the frosting on the cooled brownies. Cut, serve and enjoy!

"This is a beautiful Lacy Violet Baby Blanket! I wish I knew how to knit. I crochet and would love it if some one make a crocheted pattern for this beautiful pattern. Do you have a crochet pattern for this one? If so, please send a link.. Thanks, and fingers crossed!"
"This DIY jewelry organizer is a good way to keep your jewelry together so you can just hang it when you take it off and do not have to look for it when you need it next time and I like the idea to hang it from the metal sheet so you can use it as a wall hanging. Very easy project just got to find the metal sheet. I would also maybe close the S hooks so they will not fall out or use a heavy wire and make your own. Nice video and a tutorial too."
"Thank you for letting us know. This is getting to be a big problem today. Some people spam people everyday and I do not know why they cannot let us enjoy ourselves. They would rather steal from hard working people instedd of getting a job."
"This upcycled coffee can vase is such a cute gift to let your kids make for a teacher gift,mom gift or for themselves. So very inexpensive because you can use a can you already have,some glue and duct tape which you can get at the dollar store. Use glitter duct tape for some extra sparkle. A great way to teach your kids how to recycle. The video skips some but overall it is a good way for the kids to learn. Just add some flowers and water or soil and plant."

- Zots™ Clear Adhesive 3-D Dots

- Trace tag shape onto metal using ball tipped stylus. Use ink pen to trace the tag onto back side of Super Tape. Cut out tape and metal pieces. Set metal aside.

- Cut short lengths (approximately one to two inches long) of 22 gauge Fun Wire™. Use round nose of 3-in-1 jewelry pliers to curl wire ends; creating "S" shaped designs shown on larger tag and one eye with loop shaped nose for face on smaller tag.

- Use gloved finger to apply Ebony Rub 'n Buff® to metal, let set briefly (approximately one to two minutes) then buff off excess using soft cloth. Let dry. Use Glaze™ markers to add colorful accents to portions of the design. Let dry.
- Glue pieces together as shown. Brush with two to three coats of FIMO® Lacquer to seal and protect. Let dry. Glue pin back to back side. Cut two 4" lengths of 1mm leather lace. Insert two ends through hole at top of tag; bring all ends together and slip on barrel shaped spacer bead. Apply a dot of glue to lace before sliding bead into position at top of tag. Trim lace as desired.
- Additional Instructions For Scrapbook Embellishment: Follow directions above to create same as with pin. DO NOT glue on pin back. Cut a piece of Black WireForm® slightly bigger than the finished metal image. Position on scrapbook (or notebook) cover marking where brads are to be placed. Remove wire and image. Open cover and place onto a stack of newspapers (or old magazine). Use needle tool to punch at marked holes. Attach WireForm using brads. Attach metal tag image to WireForm® and cover using two Zots® clear 3-D adhesive dots.

That is a tough way to loose hives Shooter, perhaps the worst of winter is over.
That is a tough way to loose hives Shooter, perhaps the worst of winter is over.
Bill...in Southeast Ohio Zone 6A, Never look down on anybody unless you are helping them up
I thought I would chime in. Started off with 4 hives last year. Split to 12. Lost three going into winter (bad queens) and one absconded and three prior to NE Blizzard, starvation (I didn't get to em quick enough to supplement, Grrrrr ) So mad at myself!
Just went out today, cloudy and in the 40's. I still have 6. Four are taking Mountain Camp like crazy and two are not. I will check again during the next weather break. We will see if they make it.
Didn't register to start, so this is just noise, not data, but we are currently three for three. Mine are quite heavy, so I'm letting them manage on their own until it warms up more, when I'll stick in half a protein patty for good luck. My brother's hive is light, so we will be putting some candy and dry sugar on the inner cover until it's warm enough to dig further in.
I knew I still had bees today when I walked out the back door and one flew up and checked out the red squares in my plaid shirt!
I discovered three more dead in San Jose. That makes 10 out of 35 gone. I'm taking Olly's advice and using all my 10 frame deeps as bait hives. Oh wait, I feel another challenge coming on....yeah, another swarm challenge.
10 of 35 you might beat OD in this challenge.
My sites with only a few hives have fared better than my site with 40. More contagious due to crowding?
Went and checked yeseterday, all of my nucs had a 100% mortality (that's no big deal, I was completely expecting that because they were late season nucs and I didn't feed them or prep them to survive the winter at all) and have lost 4 of my 39 production colonies. Down to 35 hives of 39 and 0 of probably 20-25ish nucs? Not sure because I didn't keep an accurate count of the nucs becaues as I said, I was anticipating a 100% mortality from them last year.
Total loss ~ 29 hives
~ 45%
We the willing have done so much with so little for so long we can now do anything with nothing
All 4 survived with 1weak so it went to a smaller box. Bottom comb full of moisture and few brood so we shall see. Moved a gift hive down from the about 2-3 miles away, today is the first day and they are bringing in pollen. Reconfigured my hive layout (with the help if a few strong men) yesterday with some hive movement, pissed off bees! Today they are over it and orientation all day. Spectacular warm perfect day in Novato, suppose to stay this way a few more days. I think I will be able to split two hives in a few weeks.
Not sure how swarm active I will be this summer....
It has already started!
Alright everyone, the challenge is over. Time to report in with your dead vs. live hive counts and then figure the lose by percentage. I lost 10 out of 35 which is a 28% lose.
Strted with 4 hives, three (75%) made it. 2 are weak, but they made it.
I am frequently confused!
All three going strong a couple days ago, but feeding my brother's since they are light. Kinda premature to declare success here, as it's snowing today, but so far no losses this year.
Last year we lost two of three.
I have 2 strong nice looking hives, double story 8 frame mediums. I started with 13, all nucs in various configurations. I'm not surprised, but would have been happier with a couple more. These are no treatment, survived one winter, so will be my base for increase this year, after honey. 15% survival rate, first year all treatment free last year.
17/18 survival in 5 over 5, or 5 over 5 over 5 nuc configuration (94%), and 8/12 (66%) in standard 10 frame equipment ranging from a single deep with an empty medium under it to a stack of 4 deeps. This computes to an overall survival rate of 83%.
All had a Fumigillan treatment in the fall, according to evolving opinion it is not needed!, and no chemicals for the mites; 12 of the nucs had a solid defined brood break in June as the queen got mated. When it is warm enough to get in there I am curious as to their strengths.
5 degrees F. at the time of writing, we in the midwest are likely to lose a few more before winter turns away its chilly face.
100% survival with 6 hives, strong and heavy with stores. These hives were treated with OAV in October.
Bill...in Southeast Ohio Zone 6A, Never look down on anybody unless you are helping them up
18 of 23 made it for 78%. Not too bad with all the very weak and light nucs I made up too late in the year.
16/17. 94%. My only loss (so far) was a nuc that I rushed into 10 frame equipment and was robbed out by it's strong neighbors. As mentioned earlier, it's really too early here to declare success. I've got a few that are really light and are going through candy like nobody's business.
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
6 out of 6 survived! 5 Carnie's and 1 Italian. All in 8 frame mediums stacked 2 and 3 high, no treatments. 4 had brood breaks in July/August. The other 2 had spring queens. All went into October with at least 1 super of honey stores. Dec. 1 I placed sugar cakes on them all for insurance. I hope everyone adds as many details as possible so we can learn something from this challenge..
Well 12 out of 19 made it and i am happy this is my 4th year and i don't have to buy bees that was a goal and soon the games begain.
This years goal is 15 strong hives and 15 nucs by fall. The hives i lost where dinkys and 3 where mite infested i know one thing ya have to do something when it comes to mites {varroa}.
Say hello to the bad guy!
year five==== 31 hives==== T{OAV}
I wasn't registered for the contest - hadn't been stopping in much since I was depressed over losing both my hives last winter... that's the winter before this one.
BUT - this year both are still alive and kicking as of yesterday, so had to stop in and this looked too perfect a thread to not present my happiness at making it this far. 2 hives - both untreated and the only thing I did differently this year from last is wrap them in tarpaper. (well, I think that was the only thing) Just very happy to find them alive - Will be feeding lots of sugar to see that they stay that way.


text: So I recently failed an inspection due to a cracked front bumper end cap (plastic, chrome painted). Personally I hate the look of that piece anyhow, and if I must replace it, I'd like to change it. Anyone know somewhere to get an aftermarket/custom cap that will fit in that space WITH the existing steel bumper? It could be plastic, metallic, whatever

I decided to try mead one more time, but this time go with a commercial mead. I was surprised at the selection available. The "beer guy" said it's become trendy as of late. Most of the mead is brewed with other fruits and flavors, which I didn't want to start with. Ended up buying this one.
It has the addition of hops, so I'm hoping the honey flavor will still come through. Any other recommendations? The stuff can get pretty pricey. From about $15 up to $30 for a bomber.

Taser Committee Recommendations
Published March 19th, 2008
By Gavin Johnson, WCJB TV20 News
The tasing of UF student Andrew Meyer last fall left the entire country talking. Since then a UF committee has been talking about the use of tasers on campus. They're ready to give UF President Bernie Machen some recommendations. WCJB's Gavin Johnson tells us, the committee wants another layer of oversight.

I have successfully reared some queens to replace my 2 old queens and have now decided which ones I want to use (based only on size and sealed brood pattern. These queens are in 5 frame nucs which are now as full of brood as possible. I have marked them.
My question is ... what is the best way of introducing these queens to 2 quite strong colonies, one of which has a queen that is I think very small, as I have never seen her. Should I just catch the 2 new queens and introduce them is a cage in a standard way or is there a way of combining with the nucs??
Thanks for the help from members that has enabled me to get to this position. I managed to get 5 successfully mated queens out of 6 nucs ... beginners luck?

2. Walk up and down the stairs 5 times. I don't know if it's the distraction, the exercise, or thinking about how my legs ache and how few calories that effort burned, but this usually works for me.
Other "tricks":
3. Fill out your daily food log religiously. I often back off from eating something I don't really need because I don't want to have to see it in my food log and see the calorie count jump.
4. Eat more soups. In a study, two groups were allowed to each as much as they wanted. One group was fed a stew/casserole with water to drink on the side. The other group got the same stew/casserole with water added to it to make it into a soup. The soup group got filled up with less food.
5. I'm a big late-night snacker. I've made the kitchen off limits to me after 8 pm. At 7:30 pm, I'll have some fruit with cheese or nuts, and then I don't go into the kitchen until the following morning. (And, no, I haven't started stashing food in other rooms!)
6. Don't eat in front of the tv or at the computer. When I'm focused on a screen, I eat mindlesslessly and then realize I've finished my meal and haven't really enjoyed it - and usually don't feel full. Unplug and really enjoy your food.
7. I eat too fast, so I'm trying to put my spoon or fork down between bites, or chew a bite 20 times. This is another way to taste and better enjoy your food.
Nice tricks to avoid unusual hungry feeling !! Brushing is the best one ..i have tried it many times !!

Mom of 2 who died of hyperthermia arrested in Fla.
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - The Colorado mother of two boys who died after being left in her vehicle is facing charges including criminally negligent homicide, following allegations that she was having sex in another vehicle while her boys were alone.
Heather Jensen was arrested Wednesday at her mother's Florida home on suspicion of false reporting, two counts of criminally negligent homicide and two counts of child abuse resulting in death while acting with negligence.
Coroner's officials have said 2-year-old William Jensen and 4-year-old Tyler Jensen died of hyperthermia, or overheating. William died at the scene Nov. 27. Tyler died later at a hospital.
An arrest warrant affidavit says a man told investigators he and Heather Jensen were having sex in his truck while the boys were in her vehicle.

Rush Fest 2013 - Best Fest YET!
Rush Fest 2013 came to a close with as much excitement and as many tears as when it had
started five days earlier. Denver, Colorado was the host of the 2013 event and more specifically a combined effort by Rush Soccer and North Area Rush put on the biggest and boldest Fest to date.
Over 550 players on 38 teams made their way to Trailwinds Sport Park for a week of fun, education and competition. Monday evening saw the opening ceremony where the 750 chairs that were set out were not close to enough, as there was standing room only to introduce all the teams, the coaches, watch the opening ceremony video and then to top it all Lucas Kim (TD of So Cal Rush), proposed to his now fiancée with chants from the crowd of "Say Yes!" There was barely a dry eye in the room.
Bright and early on Monday morning the games began, followed by an afternoon of classroom sessions, coaches clinic and the now infamous "Fest Street Soccer" event. Already the songs and chants had started and the atmosphere was electric.
Wednesday, saw more games, more training and more classroom sessions and then the coaches were treated to some small group coaching clinics with Laurent Papillon, Head Coach of the Solomon Islands National team and former Technical Advisor to the French Football Federation. If this was not enough, that evening saw an army of 1200 strong Rush supports go to the Colorado Rapids game, 250 of which got to go down on the field as flag bearers whilst the coaches met with the Rapids coaches for a pregame clinic.
Thursday saw the games recommenced in the AM and a Sports Psychology session with the new Rush Sports Psychologist Lee Hancock, who demonstrated the new MAP program. That evening was the Rush Fest social event, with a DJ, gift exchange and organized chaos…..the kids had a blast! At the same time the parents met with John O'Sullivan for a parent education meeting.
The final round of games kicked off on Friday morning, before more tears, this time because they didn't want to leave all of their new friends that they had made throughout the week.
The fields, the weather, the energy and the smiles made this one of the most memorable events ever held by Rush Soccer. Roll on July 14th 2014 for the 7th Annual Rush Fest.
Here are a few quotes from this years particpant players and parents:
I already miss rush fest. Why does it have to end?!!?!?!? :((( - Chelseacookiemonster
Best week of my life!!! – Isabelle Camman
Based on what I saw, and the comments of the kids I believe what Rush is doing with the fest is a world class event and a top notch experience for the kids – Todd Litzman

Miss World pageant nixes bikini competition in face of religious Muslim protest threat
posted at 9:21 pm on June 6, 2013 by Mary Katharine Ham
Who's ready for the world famous and highly anticipated one-piece, conservative beach sarong competition? I can imagine a scenario in which a Western contestant, keen on the kind of nose-thumbing at stuffy cultural norms that lifted the dreary "Little Miss Sunshine" to Oscar commendations and would lift her to viral video fame, rips off her sarong to reveal—gasp!—a shocking two-piece swimsuit. Sadly, an act which truly gave power and purpose to a display of the female form would probably be tsk-tsked by the same people who lectured Americans about their "puritanical" nature after, say, Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction. Not to mention, she'd probably earn a fatwa along with her fame.
A vocal segment of Indonesia does not take kindly to the bikinis:
JAKARTA, INDONESIA Miss World organizers have axed the famed bikinis from this year's pageant, replacing them with conservative beach sarongs amid mounting protests from hardline Muslim groups.
Indonesia will host the 2013 Miss World competition in the country's resort island of Bali and the capital, Jakarta, in September.
Adjie S. Soeratmadjie, one of the local organizers, said Thursday that all contestants will be required to wear Bali's traditional long sarongs instead of the sexy bikinis that are traditionally part of the competition.
Indonesia has a reputation as a more secular, inclusive country than many Muslim countries, but alas:
Controversy over the pageant has been mounting in Indonesia, which has a reputation as a tolerant, pluralist society that respects freedom of expression.
Clerics of the Indonesian Council of Ulema, or MUI, said they would send a letter to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to demand that the beauty pageant be canceled.
"That contest is just an excuse to show women's body parts that should remain covered," said Mukri Aji, a prominent cleric from West Java province's MUI branch. "It's against Islamic teachings."
Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, a hardline Islamic group, said it planned to stage a protest and called for the competition to be moved elsewhere.
Most Muslims in Indonesia, a secular country of 240 million people, are moderate, but a small extremist fringe has become more vocal in recent years.
You don't say. And, we happily buckle to these blowhards at the mere suggestion of a protest? This isn't just a problem with religious Muslims, though their protests do generally carry with them a higher than average carnage quotient, but with Western society bending to every single neighborhood narc or busybody who sends an irate letter to the editor. No wonder certain populations find threats of violence so effective. I'd say we're happy to shoot ourselves in the foot, but I'm pretty sure we've banned that metaphor at the behest of Moms Against Violence or whatever.
This will be the first time Miss World contestants have not donned bikinis since 1950, but methinks we won't hear much about it from the "turn back the clock" crowd, which thinks a birth control copay is tantamount to the ignominy of a dowry negotiation. I was never a pageant participant and have certain reservations about them, but it's not a victory for the ladies if these decisions come at the puritanical, patriarchal, and occasionally violent whims of a bunch of dudes. Lady Gaga canceled a concert in Indonesia last year amid threats from the Islamist community, which dubbed her a "devil's messenger" in "bra and panties," which should totally have become a single by now! J-Lo covered herself and all her dancers before a Jakarta performance.
By all means, let's conform to a societal standard in which even the late Esther Williams' costumes would be considered grounds for rioting, because tolerance. Jim Treacher gives you the slideshow you all deserve to celebrate our freedoms.
Maybe next year, we can eliminate dancing from the talent competition. Off-limits in Saudi Arabia, as Remy points out in his own, special way:

I accepted the trade but what do you guys think? I think if Ridley can produce I got the better deal

Hello all,
I was looking at requeening a couple hives, and I'm asking for opinions on the Buckfast queens that BeeWeaver sells. Please post you opinion/experience here. Thanks in advance!
Hello all,
I was looking at requeening a couple hives, and I'm asking for opinions on the Buckfast queens that BeeWeaver sells. Please post you opinion/experience here. Thanks in advance!
I have two 3 lb packages from there, April 2012. They both are working well, now into the 2rd super. Calm, no mites or shb ( from casual inspection).My other hive is a 3 lb package from CA. Very slow, looking for a new queen now. In truth one BWeaver package was mishandled by them, the post office or me, 2/3 dead bees. It was replaced promptly at no charge. Would highly recommend them. for BWeaver.
Julysun elevation 23 feet. 4 Hives, 2 years.
BeeWeaver has intergrated their buckfasts into their BeeWeaver breed. R.Weaver carries what is called a buckfast.
They even consider it a subtype of buckfasts, because they haven't had any new influx of buckfast blood in years.
An R.Weaver buckfast so to say. According to Clint W.
Are you talking about BeeWeaver or R.Weaver apiaries?
Try a search. There have been many discussions on the question.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I ordered 5 queens from them in July and made some splits with them to try them out. They have built up very fast. Three of them are in 5 frame nucs double stacked. The other two have been switched to 10 frame deep boxes with a second box added. The temperment has been pretty good. Sometimes I don't use smoke on them depends on weather. BWeaver was great to deal with. If they over winter good here in northern Wisconsin I will order more next year.
Hope this helps
If you buy "Buckfast" stock from Ferguson in Ontario, you'll have bees that are closer to actual Buckfast than the Texas variety.
Believe it's one for anything. But not very cost effective for cells since they are shipped overnight UPS and it's pretty costly. If you're going to order mated queens get your order in early, he fills up quickly
Not sure, but he has his own Italians, the Furgeson line, Olympic [Russian], Latshaw Italians and Carni's, Pol-Line, Glenn Carni's. Maybe a couple more.
Ben, I installed two Rweaver Buckfast queens about six weeks ago. About two weeks ago, one of the Buckfast queens flew out of my hand while I was marking her and the other is doing about as well as my home grown queen from my Italian/Carniolan queen, open mated with the drones in my area (that means she is doing well). I've installed two queens from BeewWeaver this past week. Both Weavers were fine to deal with and the shipping was quick.
The Buckfast queens have not so far produced overly defensive bees, I work them with smoke, a jacket, shorts and bare hands. The Weaver's are just about 150 miles away from me, so they (bees) are adapted pretty well for my area.
BeeWeaver sells survivor queens cross bred with the remnants of their old bee lines and the VSH queens out of the LA bee lab.....with no treatments since 2001. RWeaver still sells many lines of queens.

...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
I'm new to beekeeping as of last April, and started with B Weavers. Really gentle, and the hive looks to have tripled in size. I'm entirely pleased, and will order 2 more packages in 2013.
Yep. Got my first and last from them a few years back. Hottest bunch of brood I ever got. Sticking with Strachan Varnish. Gentle as heck. A real joy to work with
Sorry ..auto correct on the phone is a pain sometimes

The heart of Chicago's downtown financial center is called The Loop for the elevated train line that rings the district. It is home to some of Chicago's first experiments in building the skyscraper and represents an early affinity for public art later embodied by Millennium Park.
Begin your walk at Jackson Boulevard and Dearborn Street, home to the (1) Monadnock Building (53 W. Jackson Blvd.), the north part of which was designed by architects Burnham and Root, considered the world's tallest masonry building in which six-foot (two-meter) walls at the base support 17 stories above on the north wing and a steel-frame structure on the south represents the move to modern materials.
Continue on Jackson past the (2) Chicago Board of Trade Building (141 W. Jackson Blvd.), a Holabird and Root art deco landmark that foots LaSalle Street. Walk north a block to the (3) Rookery Building (209 S. LaSalle Street), another Burnham and Root transitional building in the history of architecture that employs both masonry and steel frame. Step into the sky-lit lobby, which architect Frank Lloyd Wright remodeled in Prairie style in 1905.
Return two blocks east to Dearborn along Adams Street to the (4) Kluczynski Federal Building (230 S. Dearborn Street) by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe of "less is more" fame. The plaza here hosts the first in a series of public "sculptures (which) are site specific and work in counterpoint with the surroundings to enliven the public realm."—Blair Kamin, architecture critic, Chicago Tribune. Here Alexander Calder's 53-foot (16-meter) red steel (5) Flamingo arches gracefully over the plaza in contrast to the government building's 42-story rational rectangle above.
Next, walk north to the (6) Marquette Building (140 S. Dearborn Street), an 1895 Holabird and Roche skyscraper that celebrates its steel construction with a seemingly light structure of broad windows. Continue north on Dearborn between Monroe and Madison Streets to (7) Chase Tower plaza (10 S. Dearborn Street), home to a curving, 60-story skyscraper and (8) The Four Seasons (Dearborn and Monroe Streets), a mosaic installation by artist Marc Chagall.
Follow Dearborn again to Washington Street where the (9) Daley Center (50 W. Washington Street) hosts another international style high-rise based on the works of van der Rohe and the 1967 (10) untitled Picasso sculpture created and donated to the city by Pablo Picasso. The interactive and enigmatic metal statue—resembling a dog or an aardvark, depending on whom you quiz—is popular with the playful, who like to slide down it.
Exit Daley Plaza on the Clark Street side and walk one block north to the (11) James R. Thompson Center (100 W. Randolph Street), a metal and glass rotunda by Helmut Jahn. Its plaza hosts artist Jean DuBuffet's (12) Monument with Standing Beast, a marzipan-looking white fiberglass structure you can walk in and around. Return east two blocks past the theaters in the area and south one block on State Street to finish with a bite at the (13) Atwood Café (1 W. Washington Street; www.atwoodcafe.com) located in the Hotel Burnham, an early skyscraper from, again, Daniel Burnham.

The title says it all. What do you use? Why? Pro's/con's? Thanks!
The title says it all. What do you use? Why? Pro's/con's? Thanks!
3/8". It works. Pro: keeps rodents out. Con: there is none.
Regards, Barry
3/4 here. I use a reducer in winter to limit the air coming in. I like to have a space under the frames where the dead bees collect in winter. I've had them pile up and block the entrance on the 3/8 side.
I built my last nucs with 3/8" openings.
Trying to think inside the box...
Should use the 3/4 side of the bottom board in winter and invert the entrance reducer. The 3/8 high opening on the reducer should be on the top side. This leaves a 3/8 high area covering the bottom board for dead bees before dead bees start to block the bottom entrance.
And with the 3/8 high opening mice can not get in.
Zone 3b. If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got!
I have two nucs setting side by side. one with 3/4 and the other 3/8. So far no observable difference other than how the bees tend to exit the hive. in the taller hive they tend to exit buy hanging upside down at the tip of the entrance and enter by walking in on the bottom board. on the lower entrance they all walk in and out for the most part. IN effect it is like the taller entrance provides a separate in and out door. I don't know that this makes any difference to the bees.

3/8ths with screened bottom boards.I even narrow the 3/8ths opening in winter and other times of scarcity.Small blocks of wood take care of that.
Thanks for the replies so far, everyone. Do all commercial/migratory type bottom boards only have the 3/8" entance. That's what we run in our commercial op, but my personal hives are on the 3/4'' side right now. It would be one less peice of equipment that you have per hive since you wouldn't need a reducer. I have seen some migratory pallets with a 3/4" rim. Of those of you that have a palletized operation, what do you use?
My bottomboards are a commercial type I was taught to make before bees were all put on pallets. The entrances are 5/16" and nailed to the bottom of the brood chamber. It makes so many things easier and they are cheap and easy to make.
We use this style, but we bought all ours used. They also have a 2" cleat on the underside of the ends instead of just a 1" cleat. P.S. GloryBee has the photos for their bottoms and tops accidentally switched. This link to the page is for the cover, but it has the pic of the migratory bottom. Might have to let them know about that.
I can see how a 3/8" opening could get blocked. Especially if it was reduced on the ends with blocks of wood for winter.
I just have a hard time believing that a bunch of dead bees on the bottom board could keep live bees inside from exiting the hive. They chew through Styrofoam, wood, paper, etc., why would they not be able to move some dead bees?
Regards, Barry
Good feasible observation, Barry. I think you're right.
And in addition you should also be leaving them a means of egress and return at the top of the hive in winter locations. Ventilation port plus entrance. So dead bees piled up at the bottom shouldn't be a concern.
"Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay".....Krishnamurti
I do, and then the bees proceed to propolize it closed, so I don't worry about it. Never lost a hive of bees because they couldn't get out of the bottom entrance.
Regards, Barry
I build all my own bottoms but I make the entrance 1/2" high as a compromise. John
Ok...not blocked for eternity. lol
All mine are 3/8" and another beekeeper I work with who uses pallets for bottom boards are 3/8" also. We both nail a 1" tall entrance reducer in front of the entrance with a 3/8" tall slot in it for further mouse protection. A few of my entrance reducers have already been ravaged but the mice have to get through 3/4" of reducer and 3/4" of pine to get to the hive. Still, when you see mouse damage you'll be happy you did something to prevent them from getting into your hives, namely an entrance small enough to prevent mouse intrusion. Also I have seen my entrances get plugged with dead bees but it seems that when and if the bees need a bigger entrance those dead bees get tossed out to accommodate the greater flow of traffic.

Maybe they leave the dead bees there when it's cold as weatherstripping.

A lot could be said about Pope Benedict's new book, Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives,
but one thing that should not be said is that it undermines confidence
in the general historicity of the infancy narratives. Yet you might well
get a different idea from some of the media accounts. The impression
some of those accounts leave is that for Pope Benedict much that the
Gospels say about the things leading up to Jesus' birth and infancy
aren't historically reliable.
The problem of the media misreading has become noticable enough that Spanish theologian Jose Maria Gil Tamayo, writing in L'Osservatore Romano,
has criticized the media for missing the point of the Pope's book and
focusing instead on whether the Pope says a donkey and an ass were
present at Jesus' birth. The Washington Post, in turn, has reported on the theologian's criticisms. The Post
piece tries to present the theologian's criticisms and winds up itself
misrepresenting Benedict's position in the process. For instance:
"Benedict also writes that the angels who announced Jesus' birth to the
shepherds probably didn't actually sing, and that the three wise men
could have been inspired by a 'theological idea' rather than by a
'historical event'."
When the shepherds in the field (Lk 2:12-14)
encounter the multitude of angels praising God for the birth of Jesus,
are the angels "singing"? Benedict notes that the evangelist says that
the angels "said" "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among
men with whom he is pleased". Does that amount to what the Post reports Benedict as maintaining, that "the angels ...probably didn't actually sing"?
observes, "Christianity has always understood that the speech of angels
is actually song, in which all the glory of the great joy that they
proclaim becomes tangibly present" (p. 73). He goes on to link this
"song" with the singing of Christmas carols and the singing of the Gloria at Mass. That does not amount to saying that the angels "probably didn't actually sing", as the Post reports. Indeed, Benedict appears to maintain that in some sense they did sing, even though Luke doesn't say they did.
a trivial point, really, but it illustrates the two big problems with
much media coverage of the book in particular and of many religious
topics in general: getting the basic facts wrong and missing the point.
The real story is (1) that Benedict, pace many critical exegetes,
assumes the historical reality of the appearance of the angels to the
shepherds, whether the angels sang or merely recited their Gloria; and
(2) the meaning Benedict gives of their Gloria and the angelic epiphany
to the shepherds.
We see a similar thing with the controverted
question of the Magi. Were they real or simply a literary creation by
Matthew (or his source[s]) to make a theological point? The Post article attributes to Benedict the position that the Magi "could have been inspired by a 'theological idea' rather than by a
'historical event'."
It's true Benedict agrees with the late
Jesuit biblical theologian Jean Danielou that the historicity of the Magi
is not essential to the Christian faith, as, for instance, the
Annunciation is. They both hold that no "foundations would be shaken if
it were simply an invention of Matthew's based on a theological idea."
Nevertheless, both Benedict and Danielou conclude that in the story of
the Magi "we are dealing here with historical events, whose theological
significance was worked out by the Jewish Christian community and by

Global warming and social Engineering
Original post made by Rick Pshaw, Danville, on Feb 10, 2011
Does anyone with reasonable scientific knowledge still insist that the earth is somehow getting warmer? The only reason the "Warmers" continue their rant is to change your lifestyle to something THEY approve of. This is also know as social engineering. Time to put a stop to their silly game.
And oh yes, they will claim this ongoing frigid weather is due to global warming. In fact, they will claim that EVERYTHING is due to global warming, including global cooling.

Besides, the claim of those concerned about climate change has been the problem of more severe climate events (extreme heat AND extreme snow/cold) that results from increased global temperatures.

It's not global warming - haven't you been paying attention. It's GLOBAL CHANGE! Clearly you haven't been outside of your home and car on a regular basis in the last few decades. Anyone who regularly ventures into nature has seen changes over the last several decades. Changes even in one's "backyard". (Backyard extends beyond your property.) Go take a hike, literally, open your eyes and start to observe nature. You'll be better for it and maybe you'll take better care of this incredible place we call earth.

Rick nailed it. There's climate change alright. It's just not anthropogenic (man caused). It's ridiculous to think that man's dinky little activities are more influential than the sun. Read about its recent magnetic activity and you'll forget about anthropogenic climate change, a gimmic promulgated by resentful globalist/socialists who believe that we Americans must be made to redistribute our wealth among less developed countries.

There is a perfectly logical explanation. The earth is flat and we just turned it over from the hot side to the cool side. As soon as this side warms up we can turn it back to the other side.
See how easy it is to explain things when you are not encumbered by scientific reasoning!
a resident of Alamo
on Feb 11, 2011 at 12:06 pm
Don't say "global warming", say "climate change" because indeed that's what it is. Increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere as a whole contribute to a stronger greenhouse effect, meaning the entrapment of more infrared radiation. There is no doubt that CO2 levels in the atmosphere have been going up since the Industrial Revolution. Although a stronger greenhouse effect means a warmer average temperature on the surface of a planet, realize that this is just an average. With climate change, extremes become more extreme - temperature swings become more dramatic, storms become more severe, and droughts can be longer-lasting.
One cold January can't be proved to be a direct result of climate change. However, one cold January also can't be disproved to be a result of climate change. Climate is one of the most complex systems in the world - supercomputers that occupy entire buildings still have difficulty predicting how weather patterns only weeks in the future will occur.
I can assure you though, that once CO2 levels reach a "tipping point", a stronger greenhouse effect become inevitable. Future warming could easily release billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the air from thawing permafrost, as well as methane (CH4) from previously-frozen lakes. This would only fuel further warming, and thus, climate change.
If you want to read a very interesting and widely-accepted idea, look up the "Snowball Earth" hypothesis. It involves one of the most extreme periods of climate change the Earth has ever seen. Essentially, hundreds of millions of years ago, the position of the continents favored runaway glaciation. Some even believe that the entire plant, pole to pole, was covered in ice. However, over thousands of years, continuous volcanism released CO2 into the atmosphere. Eventually, the CO2 built up to such huge levels that a runaway greenhouse effect resulted. This melted the ice, and within only a few hundred (yes, hundred) years, the average temperature of the Earth had increased to somewhere around 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pretty cool, huh?
a resident of Alamo
on Feb 11, 2011 at 1:41 pm
Had the orginal commentor looked at the global summary on the NOAA website (which is what GLOBAL climate change is about), and not just the North American summary, he would have found the following:
"For 2010, the combined global land and ocean surface temperature tied with 2005 as the warmest such period on record, at 0.62°C (1.12°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F). 1998 is the third warmest year-to-date on record, at 0.60°C (1.08°F) above the 20th century average."
Web Link
a resident of Danville
on Feb 11, 2011 at 4:38 pm
The trend line plot at the NOAA/NCDC web site indeed shows a 0.1 degree/decade increase, if the default time span of 1895-present is used. But picking different time spans gives widely-varying trend-line results. As just one example, the 1930-1980 time span shows a -0.57 degree/decade trend (five times as large cooling trend). And sure enough choosing other subsets can result in relatively large increasing temperature trend lines.
Of course, all of this is based on data that has its own issues, including the effect of urbanization around many of our temperature recording locations. Not to mention the chicken-and-egg question of whether CO2 concentrations are a significant contributor/cause of temperature increase, or merely a lagging indicator of solar-cycle effects.
The fundamental act of science is to keep asking questions.
a resident of Alamo
on Feb 13, 2011 at 11:37 am
The fundamental role of citizens is to keep common sense (no Chicken Little) when reviewing the scientists data (A+ to CRMudgeon); to observe closely their computer modeling assumptions (difficult to find); and to question motivations when there is no direct consistent correlation between data/observations AND requested solutions.
The complications of daily weather change, seasonal change, any and all change, etc. has resulted in many theories but no consistent proof. Hypothesis on anthropogenic causes is premature and speaks more to political motivation of some rather than solid data showing a direct correlation.
a resident of Alamo
on Feb 13, 2011 at 4:19 pm
Since I am not qualified to argue the technical data of climate change in detail (as I suspect is the case with every other commentor here), I look to the scientific community and the technically related governmental agencies (e.g. NOAA, NSF, IPCC etc.) for information on the issue. So far, despite all of the political noise, they don't seem to have changed their minds.
The idea that scientists as a group have some ulterior motive to lie about climate change because they want to make life difficult for everyone or ruin the economy is laughable.
Better to study and discuss the conclusions of actual scientists and scientific agencies, and their qualificatons, credibility and level of consensus, rather than engaging in endless armchair techno-babble.
a resident of Danville
on Feb 14, 2011 at 8:25 am
It's not the scientists of the world who have an ulterior motive (although some of them do), it's the Al Gores of the world who want to engineer society to their own definitions.
a resident of Alamo
on Feb 15, 2011 at 1:21 pm
Just because one doesn't like the politics of people like Al Gore or others who advocate trying to do something about climate change, is that a rational for doing nothing? If the scientific community's overall consensus is that human activity is the primary driver of current climate change and that there will be signifcant negative consequeces because of it, shouldn't we try to do something about it? If one doesn't like current proposal like cap and trade, energy efficiency standards, incentives for lower CO2 producing energy sources and disincentives for higher ones, what should we be doing?
a resident of Alamo
on Feb 21, 2011 at 12:57 am
It is faulty to move forward with solutions such as limiting water in flushing toilets, changing washing machine front loading, adapting paint production and refrigeration, and changing lighbulbs to those with mercury which are great hazards when they burst. These small examples affect everyone and solve nothing. Providing government incentives to go to technologies that don't work like windmills is also the result of the thinking we must do something.

A not very helpful additon to suggest an old criticized social theory. It does highlight that the original pshaw suggestion about social engineering was exactly correct.
a resident of Alamo
on Feb 22, 2011 at 9:33 am
We have lower flow toilets because there is a shortage of water and they perform just as well. Is that a problem?
We have different paint and refrigerant formulatons because newer ones pose less threat to atmospheric ozone and have had a positive effect. The older paint formulatons could also sometimes be a health hazard.
CFL light bulbs can create a small mercury exposure if broken but they also use 75% less electricity. Fluorescent lighting has been around a long time without a great concern about the mercury it uses. Hopefully LED technology will advance soon the fill this niche.
And of course windmills work. Their expanded use would be beneficial to the country and is perfectly feasible.
These are all beneficial changes and hardly "solve nothing".

"old" "criticized" "social" "theory"? Really, skid -- is that best you've got? You're oh-for-four, and The Commons on which we all depend is still in peril, because it's demonstrably being "over-grazed."
It's apparently in your individual perceived interest to play the ostrich, and I'm guessing you feel even better if you can try to cloak your sandy argument in the flag of freedom.
But your uncovered butt is about to suffer a severe sunburn and the flag can't help that. It wouldn't bother me much if your recalcitrance didn't subject me to one, too, but that's The Commons.
It'd be better if you were part of the solution, but if you can't bring yourself to do so, kindly at least get out of the way.

Again, Tom explained the rules that the score held based upon what was shown, not necessarily what was intended.

Community reacts to the closing of Lee County's only hospital
LEE COUNTY, Va. - The town of Pennington Gap, Virginia received some unsettling news Wednesday morning -- Wellmont Health Services announced that they will close the Lee Regional Medical Center on October 1.
"It worries me. What if something happens to my mom?" asked Robin Smith of Rose Hill.
"They need this hospital here. It's a lot of help to us," said Hearld Knoe of Pennington Gap.
After Lee Regional closes, the only closest hospital will be Lonesome Pine Hospital in Big Stone Gap, which is 30 minutes away from Lee County. Other Wellmont hospitals in the region are more than an hour away.
Carolyn Grace from Woodway believes that distance can make the difference between life and death. "I guess we'll just die if we can't get to a hospital, because there is none [close by]," she said.
The people who use the hospital are not the only ones who are concerned. A group of physicians who said the hospital's closing is a loss to the community and they tried everything they could to stop it.
"We had met with [Wellmont Health Systems] Tuesday. We are trying to provide services to keep this hospital open. We are saddened by their decision to close it. We offered to work for little or no pay to help keep this community hospital," said Dr. Jill Couch of Stone Mountain Medical Group.
But the hospital's closing really hits home for a 37-year veteran surgeon who won't have a place to operate in just four weeks. "I have to have a operating room to offer my services. [Wellmont] is closing the hospital and operating room, my service to the community will cease," Dr. Hossein Faiz, a Lee Regional surgeon.
Despite the news, Carolyn Grace hope the hospital will remain open, even if it's under new ownership.
"Whatever it takes to keep it here. I think they should because we need it real bad," said Grace.

Much in store for Stoneridge mall
Original post made on Mar 2, 2008
If you've frequented the mall over the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed that some stores have closed while others have sprouted up. And the trend will continue.
Since its acquisition last July by Simon Property Group, the shopping plaza, which was formerly owned by the Mills Corporation, has moved in some new tenants and said goodbye to others.

Re: you article about Stoneridge Mall. The paragraph on the Sweetwater Grill closing is written so that it implys that the Cheesecake Factory is also closing. I had 2 people call me to tell me that we could not go to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory because it was closing. I called the restaurant to be sure it was still open - it is!

Cheesecake Factory is alive and well...and is staying as per the bartender I talked to the other night. It's a possibility that BJ's Brewery/Restaurant may replace the Sweetwater Grill (which was way overdue to close)... so the potential is lookin' good for better restaurants!

They should update parts of the mall. I would hate for it look like the old one up in Concord area that was finally updated (the one with a smaller movie theater, that might be gone as well). Some people in the tri valley do act like Stepford Wives or plastic kids as you put them- but who cares? The simple thing to do is to ignore them- you don't go to the mall to please or entertain others. If you enjoy people watching like I do, it can make for an entertaining afternoon, but that's not the point. Laugh it off and move on with life. And it's Sweet River Saloon, haha. I remember going there 20 years ago when I was young for my birthday and really had fun. I'll miss that place!!!(Even though the food wasn't the greatest).

PToWN94566 -- You suggest laughing off what I see at the mall. Better yet, there are much easier-going places to shop where people are real. Why do it at Stoneridge?

I hate that place, it's impossible to walk around without being pestered by the people working on the ground floor isles stalls especially the ones pedaling that black sea salt skin care crap.

Cholo -- Geeze, lighten up. I'm female myself. I'm only calling them as I see them. Not all the women in town deserve to be labeled at "Stepford." But sadly, the majority of them are starting to head in that direction.

Yes I suggest laughing off the annoying people in the mall. If it really gets under your skin that bad, something is off with you. It's useless to get worked up over stuck up people that act "valley-ish". If there is a store in the mall or the same store an hour away, I would suck it up and go to the mall here.

There are so boob jobs walking around Pleasanton. It wonders me that only The Mall and I see that.

PToWN94566 -- I hit Sears and leave. I'm not a Macy's or Nordstrom kinda gal. But that goes without saying given I'm not "Stepford" either. *LOL* BTW, I would never drive an hour to shop. To be honest with you, shopping is not my religion. I make a lot of my "personal" purchases without ever entering a retail store. Thank God for the Internet!
Shelley -- For some, it's hard to see over those plastic boobs, let alone past them! *LMAO*

The only thing that annoys me at the mall are those kiosk vendors and rude kids. I also see the fake boobs but who cares? I don't own a pair of those balloons and I shop just fine at Stoneridge. =)

I think it's a good idea to get new business in the mall.I guess the guy at the Sweetriver got tired of dateing the managers. So he's moving on to new pastures. Hopefully the new resturant will have much better food. And yes! Pleasanton has snobs you just have to be yourself and ignore them. As for the plastic kids they belong to the Doc that does all the boob jobs.
