The planned Meijer store at Burleigh Street and Mayfair Road, the Mayfair Collections project across the street from it, the development of Innovation Park, and the continuing recruitment of businesses to Research Park are commercial successes that any community would envy.
Put them together with Mayfair Mall, the Village, the North Avenue East Town district and the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center, and Wauwatosa is becoming an ever-more-powerful magnet for shopping, services, employment and money.
At the same time, elected officials have sometimes reacted with alarm at some of the consequences of this growth. Chiefly traffic.
Developing reality
New development is only adding to the stress on the infrastructure that has been evident for some time, given Wauwatosa's increasing draw of traffic from outside its city limits.
The city's population has dropped in the last 20 years, from 49,328 in 1990 to 46,629 in 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. With the city largely built out, that number may not increase significantly. In fact, the number of people who live here is far, far fewer than the number of people who work, shop and seek services here.
The medical center alone employs more than 13,000 people, and the number of visits to the center annually is easily in the millions, according to several sources.
That's just one of many Tosa destinations, and the gap between residents and non-resident users of the city is only likely to grow as redevelopment of vacant sites such as the Meijer and Mayfair Collection sites, new construction on the County Grounds, development of Innovation Park, and other projects are pursued.
Political traffic jam
Tussles with the state Department of Transportation over Zoo Interchange-related work, city-sponsored studies that would slow down the parade of commuters on North Avenue, and a possible reconfiguring of traffic flow in the Village are among plans to balance the neighborhoods and landscapes that make the city attractive with the commerce that makes it go.
"We are aware that there is this dynamic tension in the balance between the commercial and neighborhoods," said Mayor Kathy Ehley.
Council President Dennis McBride, a lifelong resident, says he remembers as a kid riding his bike down Burleigh Road - then just two lanes - to McDonald's at the corner of Mayfair Road. It's a route few experienced, helmeted adult bikers would choose today. McBride has been among the most vocal critics of DOT plans that reach into Tosa.
"(The) DOT over the years … has taken step after step after step to turn Mayfair Road into a freeway," McBride angrily told a group of state engineers at a committee meeting this fall, "and you're getting so close to it now you may as well put on- and off-ramps on this thing and just shoot all the cars down there."
Intersections at Wisconsin Avenue and Mayfair, Blue Mound Road and Mayfair, and a proposed widening of a stretch of Glendale Avenue have been some of the points of tension between DOT and council committees. In every case, DOT plans were for wider roads or intersections, and/or less pedestrian- and bike-friendly stretches, and alderman have pushed for downsizing and more accommodation for non-car traffic. Negotiations have resulted in sometimes uneasy settlements to these and other issues.
Ehley said it isn't that the DOT is pushing Wauwatosa into a future it's not ready for. "They're addressing the growth that is happening that started 20 years ago in this area, with the medical school and Children's Hospital and Froedtert and the Research Park - all of that growing," she said.
At the same time, said McBride, "We need to be in charge of our own destiny in Wauwatosa, and we need to work with agencies (like the) DOT, but not under the DOT."
Moving people regionally
"DOT's job is to move cars, and I think they are good at it," said Alderman Greg Walz-Chojnacki in an email. "But many in the council see the problem more in terms of moving people."
The transportation problem that leads to less-friendly roads demands a regional solution, a mass transit solution, said Walz-Chojnacki and Alderman Jeff Roznowski.
But a regional solution does not appear imminent.
"Unfortunately, the Regional Transit Authority was killed in the state Legislature, and no comprehensive regional transit plan or planning body now exists," said Walz-Chojnacki in an email.
Roznowski said, "I do not believe we have missed the boat (on mass transit), but we need to make transit a regular part of the development discussion."
Without cooperation from the state and/or neighboring communities, transit beyond the service of the Milwaukee County bus system appears unlikely.
Roznowski and other aldermen are strong proponents of bike and pedestrian travel - a "complete streets" approach that offers what Ehley called "multiple options." As they are rebuilt, Tosa streets are including bike lanes, and the city is pursuing a master plan that spells out more potential bike routes. Still, that may not be a solution for the masses.
Inside the city
The pressure on city streets is also felt on North Avenue, which is a major arterial through-route for thousands of commuters, and a neighborhood shopping area for thousands of residents. Its two identities are often in conflict.
The city has commissioned a study on how to implement a plan that would slow traffic on the street by adding parking, reducing left turns, adding stop signs, and introducing a bike lane.
"Those of us who live on the north and south of North Avenue, between 60th and 76th, we have a strong consensus that says we want to make that a very healthy commercial district, one that primarily serves the surrounding neighborhoods," Alderman Peter Donegan, who represents the south side of North in the East Town area.
The same kind of conflict exists in the Village, where another study is being undertaken that may result in changed traffic patterns.
Mayor Ehley said progress, and change, are inevitable.."We can't stop it, but we can manage it."

- Freeze the pineapple chunks. Either chop ahead and freeze them overnight, or buy frozen pineapple. You'll need enough to reach the 6-7 cup mark on your blender pitcher. (This recipe works best in a high-speed blender, because you'll need to be able to pulverize the frozen pineapple into an ice-cream-like consistency. A normal blender will most likely not work, but a food processor might.)
- Combine the frozen pineapple with the almond milk and honey, then blend until a frozen sorbet texture is achieved.
- For an authentic Dole Whip presentation, transfer the frozen dessert to a large plastic bag, and cut off the tip to create a piping bag. Pipe the pineapple whip into 4-6 dishes, and serve.
- Any leftovers (yeah, right) can be frozen in an ice cube tray, and used in smoothies later!

Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, Move On Down The Line).
Historic show at the Royal Albert Hall, professionally recorded and filmed but shelved for several decades. Released on the 2003 official dvd.
Reviews: Zeppelin Put the Excitement Back Into Pop
It isn't hard to understand the substantial appeal of Led Zeppelin. Their current two-hour plus act is a blitzkrieg of musically-perfected hard rock that combines heavy dramatics with lashings of sex into a formula that can't fail to move the senses and limbs. At the pace they've been setting on their current seven-town British tour there are few groups who could live with them on stage.
Friday night, the third stop of the tour brought them back to London's Albert Hall for a two and a quarter hour solo marathon that completely destroyed the ever-weakening argument about British reserve.
At the end of two 15-minute long encores, when the audience had been on its feet dancing, clapping and shouting for 35 minutes, they were still calling them back for more.
It was electricity that had been building up throughout the evening. The Albert Hall suits the Zep's style and they were in good form, working through a selection of their heavier numbers of which Dazed and Confused is still a tour de force.
The slight frame of Jimmy Page, clad like a Woolworth's sales counter in Alf Garnett shirt, jeans, belles the fearsome aggression of his guitar, which the other side of his nature comes through on the intricate White Summer solo.
Midway through the set John Paul Jones switched to Hammond organ for a segment of quieter Led Zeppelin not previously heard on stage, before John Bonham's Moby Dick drum solo brought him a standing ovation.
But the Zeppelin forte, the closing 20 or so minutes were still to come and when it did, such was the rapport that when on How Many More Times, Robert Plant sang I" want you all to put your hands together…" the audience en masse had done so before he'd finished the request.
Strutting about the stage with arrogance, Plant is a most accomplished performer, drawing from the finest blues/soul-shouter traditions with a confidence out of line with his inexperience previous to Led Zeppelin.
His control is masterful; so much so that when he dragged out the lyric "I've got you in the s-s-s-sights of my gun," hesitating dramatically over the "s," the crowd was shouting back and filling in the missing word.
I spoke to Jimmy Page after the show and he confessed that the whole band had suffered extreme nerves beforehand, mainly because people like John Lennon, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck had requested tickets.
"But it was just like it was at the Albert Hall in the summer," said Jimmy, "with everyone dancing around the stage. It was a great feeling. What could be better than having everyone clapping and shouting along? It's indescribable; but it just makes you feel that everything is worthwhile."
"We'd actually finished How Many More Times and were going into the Lemon Song, but the audience was still clapping so we just went into another riff and carried on for a further ten minutes.
The group's intention in doing solo shows of such length, says Jimmy, is so that if the audience wants it, they can continue playing without having to worry about whether earlier support groups have overrun and how much time there is left. They've had hassles with hall management on this point in the past and Jimmy points out:
"Our sets have gone longer and longer anyway. They are now always at least two hours long – and that's without any extra numbers for encores. I really believe in doing as much as it is physically possible to do… if the audience wants it." (NME, N. Logan, Jan '70)
The opening number was taken at mid-tempo and featured some outstanding interplay between voice and guitar.
Dazed and Confused from their first album followed with Jimmy Page playing restrained guitar until he appeared from behind a mountainous bank of speakers armed with a violin bow and transported the Albert Hall info the year 2000.
Both I Can't Quit You Baby and Heartbreaker featured beautiful guitar from Page.
During this little break, I have to assume the personality of Dave Crosby," said Robert Plant as Page prepared for White Summer. John Bonham was barely audible on congas.
Switching from bass to organ John Paul Jones lead into Since I've Been Loving You. The Hammond lead all through with Jones pouring out all he knew into the keyboard. Certainly one of their best numbers of the evening.
The audience got warmer by the minute and Page's slide guitar on What Is and What Should Never Be coaxed the best reaction so far.
Marathon drum solos can be the most boring experience on earth. Happily, however, John Bonham's 20 minute party-piece of Moby Dick steered clear of the clichés. (R. Telford, Jan. '70)
(Top Pops Music, Jan 1970, D.B.) - Once again, the Albert Hall must have had a plethora of buttered buns left over on Friday night. For, like the Crosby, Stills & Nash & Young concert I didn't see earlier in the week, Led Zeppelin played for over two hours without an interval.
But an interval wasn't needed. Because Led Zeppelin were dynamic and when they'd officially finished two hours later, while the whole of the audience stood on their feet, and at least half the audience jigged and jogged like normally only the dance –freaks do, the group came back to play encores for a further hours.
Despite the fact that the group contains four of the finest musicians around, they are not musicianly. Nor are they particularly progressive. But they are extremely good. Very exciting. The Greatest Bopper Group in the world. They are where the Stones were at in those bygone days of the screamers, though technically they are a million light years away from them. Just like we are all a million light years away from them. Stones included.
But, I mean, they build an atmosphere and they backed it with good solid rock.
They are professional without being slick. From the moment when their own cheer-leader introduced them at the beginning to the moment when he wound up the excitement all over again at the end, one had the impression that everything in their act was considered to the nth degree, that they had the secret formula for success. But that doesn't make them as plastic or as hyped as it sounds, because that formula would not have worked had they not had the talent to back it up.

Do any of you have updates/photos of how your hives are doing now?
Do any of you have updates/photos of how your hives are doing now?
My bees are doing great! They all made it through the winter and are healthy and friendly. But I didn't get a speck of honey. I have to feed them in February. I'm disappointed in my box, but am pleased with my nice little bees. If I can afford it, I'm going to switch to a langstroth next year.
outside looking in, both my original hive and my modified hive are completely full (thriving), I haven't opened them yet
per a previous post my original hive swarmed 3 times last year...the hive is too small IMO, the modified version I made looks promising
KatGold, you expecting honey to be in there after the winter? I would suspect mine would have used most of their stores up during the winter.
Also, why disappointed? going to a Lang. doesn't mean your hive will survive
2 of 2 hives dead.
I was looking on the Top Bar Site to get some information on bar width for the hive he built from looking at pictures. I have traditional Lang. hives but am impressed by the look of your hive and though that it may be interesting to try a top bar hive (if winter ever ends in Minnesota this year). I admittedly no know nothing about Top Bar design except what I have read in the last 30 minutes. Wondering if you have plans for your hive that you would be willing to share.
Great looking hive.
I was disappointed that the box was so full and has been full for a year, but I never get a drop of honey. The hive is too short. I know lang owners who got over a hundred pounds of honey.
On the upside, I know that there are gazillions of bees out there that weren't there last year.
Over the last month, I have witnessed THREE separate swarms from my hive. I don't know if there were more when I wasn't around.
Is there any reason to believe that the lang bees may have a more difficult time making it over the summer than the TBHs? I am seriously considering switching to a lang.
Any reason why I shouldn't?
As far as other TBH designs go, Michael Bush has TONS of useful into published at http://www.bushfarms.com/bees.htm that I'd recommend every new beek read through (whether you plan to use TBH or Lang hives, either way, it's a LOT of useful info there...I used it myself). Also, I myself have completed a couple TBH hives of my new (and, I believe, final) design which allows the top bars, and the combs built on them, to be 100% compatible/interchangable with a Lang deep. I've had good success with my earlier designs (I only changed the bar design by 1/4" since then, as I'd made a "compatibility error" when I built those), had several hives come through this past winter nicely, and even harvested a few pounds of honey from first-year hives last year. Right now, I'm working on a nice, clearly-written set of instructions & illustrations for constructing my current/final TBH design, if you PM me I can send you what I have finished so far, and walk you through the parts that I still need to get instructions & diagrams made for. I guess, in your situation, the one biggest reason I'd recommend giving my "standardized" TBH a try is that it's EASILY convertable into a Lang, in many ways, it really is more of a hybrid, as one of the design intents is that I can add Lang supers directly to this hive if I want to give my girls a little more honey-storage space!
Jeff Bush & others: The offer for the design/walkthrough for building my hives is available to any who want to give it a try... fair warning: building this hive DOES require a fair amount of woodworking skills, and is NOT an "easier build" than Langstroth equipment (just easier on my back to work, as there are usually no 100lb supers to lug around...and better insulated).
Box inside dimensions (ignoring the inward-slope of the lower side walls): 47.25"x19.125"x10" ... gives the bees about as much space as 3 10-frame Lang deeps (and that's after figuring in the lost space from sloping the side walls)
Materials: 1 4'x8' sheet of 3/8" ply (more if you have "oopsies" when cutting), 1 8' long 2x6, and several 2x4s.
Minimum tools: Router table (I made the earlier ones without it, but DO NOT recommend trying those methods), circular saw, drill, and either a table saw or a bandsaw (ideally, both...but I don't have a table saw set up yet myself).
Well heck yea, I would love to see your plans. I will PM you in a moment.
Thanks for the comment about my hive plan being at the bottom half (or worse) of the TBH plans. I really felt like this was the right direction for me and have been sorely disappointed. It was quite an expense to get no honey out of it, but I do keep reminding myself that a greater good (more thrown bees) was served. I'm glad to know I just made a bad choice.
I've considered getting a food grade barrel from the local homebrew shop and slicing it down the side, figuring out a way to keep it from rolling over, and moving my bars into it. I haven't figured out a landing board, but maybe just drilled holes would do. What do you think about that?
I'm pretty sure I'll try the lang. I'm sort of running out of space, but what the heck. No harm in trying. No harm in putting them beside each other either, I don't think.

Do a search on Indeed.com for "big data engineer" and you will find 26 listings. That compares to ten job listings for "big data architects."
I became curious about this new job description when I saw a job post from Disqus.
Then I looked at the trend line.
It's revealing to look at the companies seeking big data engineers. Employers are looking for people who know MapReduce, Hadoop and related franeworks such as HBase, Pig and Hive. Programming languages in demand include: Java, Ruby, or C++. It really covers the gamut, which is part of the issue with using big data in a job description. Do you have MongoDB expertise? Yes, that's applicable. Practical hands-on experience with Bayesian models and neural networks? Yes, the job may be right for you.
I found startups that focus on serving the advertising industry and financial services companies. Consulting companies and technology giants are all using the new title.
Here they are:
- Amazon (6)
- The Climate Corporation (3)

- Krux Digital (2)
- Beanstock Media (1)
- Tribal Technologies (1)
- Kontagent (1)
- Discovery Staffing (1)
- Convertro (1)
- Disqus (1)
A few job descriptions to give a flavor of what employers are seeking:
A9.com: The Amazon subsidiary is looking for a big data engineers to:
- Design, develop and support a map-reduce-based data aggregation pipeline for processing billions of events a day

When it comes to shopping, people prefer to shop from a place that has clothes featuring unique styles and designs so that they can stand out from the crowd. During the sixties, when the rest of the world was not exactly 'fashion forward', London took the cake by being the top destination for shopping for people from all over the world. Of course, London still remains as a great fashion destination today but during the 1960s it was the only place offering a great shopping experience.
During the 1960s, there were other European shopping destinations too, but these couldn't hold a candle to London, which was referred to as the 'most fabulous' shopping centre back in those days. Vintage fashion was spot-on in London and this beautiful city had something to offer for every budget. Thus, both the rich and the average people engaged in London shopping. The Bond Street and Oxford Street were two well-known names back in the days for people who had the courage to dress differently/fashionably and spend a little more on branded clothes.
The Carnaby Street was another popular shopping destination in London back in the sixties. In fact the fashion and cultural scene here in this city was so popular and well-appreciated that the term 'Swinging London' was coined to describe the scene. The sixties was indeed a time of cultural revolution in the United Kingdom because during this time hedonism and optimism soared in London. It gave birth to a youth-oriented fashion phenomenon where fashion emphasized dressing up more youthfully.
Back in the days of Swinging London, photography and fashion went hand-in-hand and people went ga-ga over both! The most popular source of inspiration was the Queen magazine. London was also the hometown of the one of the first supermodels in the world, Jean Shrimpton, who was considered to be the Face of the '60s. During this period the fashionable shopping areas in London like Chelsea, King's Road and Carnaby Street witnessed a huge sale of miniskirts as these were considered a must-have in case of London shopping.

The other colony is no more then 1/3 drawn on the second hive body frames. Until this week,the last time I got into the brood was on June 30. Could not see any eggs, some larve and a good quantity of capped brood including capped drone cells. I also noticed a couple of queen cells. I decided to leave things alone and observed what seamed to be an increasing number of bees foraging and drawing comb the last few weeks. This last Saturday while doing an external inspection of the hives, I noticed a large number of drones coming and going from the hive but not on Sunday. Yesterday I got into the brood chamber and could not find any eggs, larve and very few capped cells most of which were drone cells. It was late in the day (after work) and I didn't take the time for a hard search for a queen. Anybody have any ideas what is going on? Has the original queen been superseeded? Should I expect to see eggs and larve soon, or is this colony history? There is still a good number of bees in the hive.

Very good
Andrew is a very nice host, always willing do help about your trip and the beautiful city of Praha.
The apartment is spacious, clean, with all equipments. It's a warm and comfy place, and specially when it's snowing and cold outside!
Perfect for a couple or even 2 couples because the rooms are separated.
Fab location- not even 5 mins walk to Wenceslas square and 15 mins walk to old town.
Clean apartment with all the basics you need. Only issue was the heating as it was on full all night and couldn't turn it down- but better than being cold!
Host also looked after us and sorted taxis to and from airport.
Would recommend.
Great experience
Very good experience, had a wonderful time in Prague. The apartment is clean and modern style, with all the necessary to enjoy a relaxing stay.
The building lies in an quiet district, with shops, pubs and restaurants nearby. Andy is a very nice and informatively host. I'd definitely recommend this place to people visiting Prague.
The place is perfectly located at 3min from Wenceslas square, 15-20min on foot to the old town and close to a bunch of very good places to eat Czech food. The apartment is in very good condition, renovated, very big and full-equipped. The host is very friendly, no problems at all. 100% recommended.
Last week my husband and I spent wonderfull time in Prague. Andrew was very helpfull. The apartment very cosy and good located. It has everything you need to spend some time abroad.
Fantastic appartment, confortable and nice, very well located: a big pleasure to stay there.
Andrew gave us every information we were looking for, and clever advice about restaurants, transports and so on.
Perfect, in one word !
Andrew es un anfitrión ejemplar!
Ha estado atento desde el momento de la reserva. Nos esperó en el apartamento y nos dio todas las indicaciones necesarias para movernos por la ciudad. El apartamento está genial, tal y como se ve en las fotos, muy limpio y ordenado, con todos los elementos necesarios para pasar unos días. Sin duda, si vuelvo a Praga, volvería al apartamento de Andrew.
Zimmer wie beschrieben, geniale zentrale Lage und die wertvollen Tipps von Andy haben uns 3 wundervolle Tage in Prag erleben lassen.
Kann die Ferienwohnung wirklich gerne weiter empfehlen.

The continual attacks on human rights activists in Russia raises questions as to whether there is anyone in charge of the country who has the slightest interests in protecting the innocent from criminals. The murder of Ntalya Estemirova, a prominent fighter for human rights, makes clear that forces of oppression understand they can kill without fear of being caught, let alone tried for a crime. There is evidence the Chechen government of Ramzan Kadynov encourages attacks on those who dare raise questions about the deaths of those who oppose the little tyrant of Chechen. As mourners gathered to pay tribute to the woman who has stood up to Prime Minister Putin and his coterie of thugs, many shouted, "who is next?" A few weeks ago it was Stanislav Markelov, a lawyer who fought for human rights and is now dead at the hands of criminal assassins.
Her murder took place in the middle of the day when four men grabbed her as she entered her apartment, and threw her into a car, drove seventy miles and then dumped her body by the side of the road. It is clear they did not fear being captured or brought to justice. After all, this is Putin, Russia, in the year 2009.
President Medvedev told visiting President Obama he was committed to the rule of law. Russians who seek democracy and justice wait expectantly for Medvedev to assert his independence and end the Putin rule of violence.

Peace the Pescadero Way
Pescadero Creek Inn Bed and Breakfast • Pescadero, CA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two, Mondays through Thursdays, in the Rose, Creekside, or Spring Room ($190) or the Garden Cottage ($215)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two, Fridays through Sundays, in the Rose, Creekside, or Spring Room ($215) or the Garden Cottage ($300)
- Daily Full Breakfast for Two
- Afternoon Wine-and-Cheese Tasting
One of San Francisco's greatest attributes is its proximity to seemingly middle-of-nowhere locales. Fed up with your neighbor's 5 a.m. tap-dancing lessons? A quick 40-minute drive will drop you among the sounds of babbling creeks and chirping birds.
One of these rural outposts is Pescadero, less than an hour south of San Francisco. Let parking nightmares fade as you steal away to the Pescadero Creek Inn for a two-night stay for two, Mondays through Thursdays, in the Rose, Creekside, or Spring Room ($190) or the Garden Cottage ($215).
Or, opt for a two-night stay for two, Fridays through Sundays, in the Rose, Creekside, or Spring Room ($215) or the Garden Cottage ($300).
The Rose Room, the inn's most romantic abode, is decorated in pinks and deep reds and overlooks bucolic Bradley Meadow, while the Creekside Room is the property's largest, and the Spring Room, with its large windows and high ceilings, affords excellent views of the green hills outside. Both are outfitted with queen-size beds and come with sensual claw-foot tubs, plus Wi-Fi and complimentary bottled water.
The Garden Cottage boasts a fireplace and a deck that overlooks Pescadero Creek as well as the inn's organic vegetable garden and 20 acres of flower fields. It, too, comes with a queen bed and claw-foot tub, and a foldout sitting-room daybed can accommodate a second couple.
Breakfast for two each morning includes local, organic vegetables and fresh eggs from area farms, and the complimentary afternoon wine-and-cheese tasting follows suit, highlighting top local artisans like Harley Farms Goat Dairy and award-winning wine made by the innkeeper himself.
Rent a bike from the inn and pedal west past the town's clapboard facades to the picnic-perfect Pescadero State Beach, about two miles away. Head the other direction on Highway 85 toward La Honda, and up pops the 133-year-old Apple Jack's Inn, a rough-around-the-edges yet eternally friendly log pub set amid atmospheric fog and centuries-old coast redwoods. Keep going to Highway 35 and you'll run into the gargantuan Methuselah tree, estimated to be about 1,800 years old.
At night, don't miss Duarte's Tavern, just steps from the inn. The region is famous for its artichokes, and Duarte's, open since 1894 and featured on Food Network and PBS, is the area's preeminent purveyor of this perennial thistle.
Make the short jaunt north to Half Moon Bay for golf, shopping, and surfing, or just relish the solitude you'll find at the fully restored, 100-year-old Pescadero Creek Inn. It's just a few miles from home but light years from city living.
"Pescadero Creek Inn is a find. Tucked away near an organic goat cheese farm in the hills just outside of Pescadero, it combines easy access to the historic town of Pescadero, beaches, hiking trails, and bicycle rides."-- TripAdvisor

CEH v7 or Wait to CEH v8?
This isnt a repeated topic.
My concern is about the price.
I remember when I was prepared for the version 6, and when I notified that the version 7 comming up, I decied to wait, but the price was x2, so I dont want it again
What do you think about the CEH v8?? Still 500 $us?

Incredulous obviously doesn't mean what you think it means because that statement makes no sense. Cotton and I are musical soul mates and he typed everything I was thinking. Not sure what's "incredulous" about that.
And no, you didn't say that to Doc (I added that part myself), but you seemed incredulous of the fact that he had ever even been to a concert, let alone actually knows what he's talking about. And there was no emoticon, but that's neither here nor there..
I don't give a flying frick whether or not Kenny Chesney is your favorite artist to ever live. I just think it's hilarious that you're so pissed off over the fact that most of us happen to think he sucks. You're entitled to your opinion, does that same rule not apply to the rest of us?
Take a Xanax
It is an adjective which means "unable to believe something," "in disbelief," or "unbelieving" in this context, and I am incredulous that you keep making incorrect inferences and inaccurate statements. Based on your misquoting my posts and stating incorrect information, your statement that you were right as usual was absolutely incredulous. Cotton has nothing to do with my post; nor do I have a clue why you are referring to him, here. You are who I am directly posting to, now, and previously.
This is on par with rap lyrics. Really.
Modern day mainstream country isn't what I consider country. I couldn't give half a frick who thinks it is I don't. I don't acknowledge it is a part of the genre. End of story.
Go read her post she was obviously replying to me. Don't attack someone else for their reading comprehension when yours obviously needs some work as well
As always, we're righthere.
One day they'll admit country music has changed. As it always does. There is no denying Jason Aldean or Luke Bryan are 2012 country music. That is fact. You may like their music or not. But they are modern day country music. Period.
and anyone that defends it as some sort of legitimate "country music" should have the aldean cd slapped out of their hands
quote: Modern day mainstream country isn't what I consider country. I couldn't give half a frick who thinks it is I don't. I don't acknowledge it is a part of the genre. End of story.
That's what is considered country today.
Look at the Top 10 of all time. You'll find songs from every decade back to the 60's. I can't think of 1 song that'll ever break into the Top 10 from 2000 or 2010.

Sometimes the peas in the garden outpace the picking or the supplies in the store aren't so fabulous. Here's a recipe for those less-than-perfect peas—no shucking involved. A soup for the true pea lover.

Diabetes Appropriate
Gluten Free Diet
Healthy Weight
Heart Healthy
High Fiber
Low Calorie

Serves 6
Prep Time 15 min
Total Time 90 min.
Step 1
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add peas, return to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes.
Step 2
Using a slotted spoon, transfer one-third of the pea pods to a food processor. Add 1/2 cup cooking liquid and process until smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Pour into a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining pea pods in 2 batches, with 1/2 cup cooking liquid each time. Pour the pureed peas plus the remaining cooking liquid through a fine-meshed sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. (Alternatively, put through a food mill fitted with a fine disc.)
Step 3
Return the soup to the pot, bring to a boil and then simmer until reduced by about a third (to about 6 cups), 30 to 35 minutes. Stir in chopped dill, salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and top each serving with a swirl or dollop of yogurt and a sprig of dill, if desired.

Checked one of my yards yesterday and found one hive totally empty. This was one of my stronger colonies, so this is a disappointment. This was a new package this spring on all new equipment. I'm running all mediums, and this one had filled four boxes plus another super of surplus honey. I did no treatments. I did not do a mite count prior to buttoning things up for the winter.
No signs of robbing, all of the honey was still capped. Several sections of pollen packed away, and the brood spaces on comb was nearly empty. There were a handful of still-capped brood. There were a couple dozen dead bees on the bottom board.
From all appearances the hive was ready for winter...except there are no bees.
The other two colonies on this site appear to be in good shape for winter, and there was activity outside those hives yesterday.
All of my yards are on native prairies sites. This one the landowner did a modest fall burn (only several hundred square feet) that came within ten yards of the hive on one side.
Could the burn have convinced the bees to abscond? Or could this be colony collapse disorder?
I know bees do what they please...and this one has me mystified. Any insight?

Sheriff Maketa releases statement regarding gun control stance
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa released a statement early Tuesday morning about his explosive claim that senate Democrats threatened the salaries of sheriffs because of their gun control stance.
The statement was posted onto the homepage of the El Paso County Sheriff's Office website.
UPDATE: A second statement was posted on the El Paso County Sheriff's Office website. This statement touches on Sheriff Maketa's testimony at the state capitol.
Updated statement:
An Injustice Against our Citizens
Monday, March 4, 2013, was unlike any day I've experienced in my 12 years testifying at the Colorado State Capitol. During my tenure, I've had numerous opportunities to participate in legislative processes from draft proposal to signature of a bill making it law.
I've witnessed many hearings and observed citizens, law enforcement, and special interest groups share opinions on a variety of proposed laws. I've witnessed very controversial bills set in a process to allow full access from supporters, opponents, and citizens to be heard by their legislators. On numerous occasions, bills similar in nature were set for hearing on different days to ensure opportunity for anyone to participate in the deliberative process. On Monday, this didn't occur. Instead, gun bills were simultaneously scheduled and of 25 plus sheriffs, only one could testify per bill. Hearings were split so bills heard simultaneously were on different floors, even though all were heard by senate committees. Rules for testimony changed three times from Thursday afternoon through Monday at 10:30 am, when hearings began.
Historically, any citizen would be allowed to speak if they arrived at the Capitol early and signed up on testimony records. Although sign up sheets were in place and citizens including myself signed up, we were completely disregarded. Minutes after I signed up to testify, I learned a different process would be utilized and testimony was based on three categories: experts, preferred witnesses, and public witnesses. No explanation was provided to define expert or preferred witness. I was told this decision was made by the senate president and the chairperson of the hearing committee. Additionally, experts would have no time constraints and all others would be restricted to three minutes. I was completely disheartened at what I was witnessing and this was exacerbated when I learned experts included an individual that was not a resident of Colorado who had no credentials to qualify as an expert except his spouse was a victim of the Tuscan Arizona shooting. He admitted he had not read the proposed bill and could not speak to any specifics regarding this bill. He encouraged Colorado to adopt universal background checks and close the gun show loophole, both of which already exist. Sadly, he testified with unlimited restriction as voters and taxpayers of this state sat helplessly as they were denied the right to testify during committee hearings.
My colleague, Sheriff John Cooke, testified in opposition of the "Universal Background Check" bill on behalf of most sheriffs while staying within the three minute constraint. Fortunately, I was allowed to testify because a member of the legislature listed me as an expert witness. I was honored and brought statistics and facts as it related to the national insta-check system (NICS); the probable criminalization of law abiding citizens and the unenforceability of this particular bill. I offered other options knowing we all share the common goal of reducing violence. I was proud to represent my constituents and the majority of our sheriffs. That pride was quickly diminished as I departed the hearing room and witnessed hundreds of citizens who would not be given the opportunity to testify. Although they expressed their sincere appreciation for my comments, I recognized the injustice that was unfolding before my eyes. Citizens of Colorado were prevented from participating in the legislative process. Their rights had been overridden by the agenda of a few members of the State Senate.
As I made my way out of the Capitol, I was shocked at the number of people who attended these hearings. It's estimated the number of people in attendance reached 1,000. I spoke to several and was told they just wanted their voice to be heard. Many of them had never been to the Capitol, let alone testified on any bill. Some brought their children as a lesson in civics and sacrificed a day at work to participate in the law making process. Unfortunately, what they hoped for never happened.
Due to a prior commitment, I could not stay for the remaining bills. Later, I phoned a member of our legislature and expressed concern for what I had witnessed; changing of rules, time limits, new classification of speakers to establish priority and most of all the number of citizens who made the journey to the Capitol in hopes of being heard. I was told the rules did change several times and that this was very unusual. These changes were driven by the majority leadership, Senator John Morse, and the chairperson of the involved hearing committee.
I am not sharing this because of the outcome of the hearings that day; rather I am sharing this because of the process implemented and the faces of all those citizens that were never permitted to participate in the process. Government is supposed to be by the people, for the people and on this day, they were crushed and kicked to the side. Special interest coalitions and hand picked experts with no relevant expertise trumped our citizens.
To add insult to injury, the following Wednesday, I received an email containing the following language from a member of County Sheriffs Of Colorado: "…I have been advised by a reliable source at the Capitol that the Dems are seriously not pleased with the CSOC positions on the gun bills, and given the potential for a real salary bill to be introduced as you shall see from a follow-up email from" (an unnamed sheriff), "support of SB197 would put us in a more favorable light for salary bill support from the Dems. I do not believe we would be sacrificing our principles or positions on the other gun bills by supporting SB197." "...Please let us know what you think on this proposal ASAP as I need to get a letter from us to the Senate Dems before the close of business today." As I see it, senate Dems have made it known, "sheriffs, obey or no pay for you." The first word that comes to my mind is extortion. Again, I'm disheartened that the pay of sheriffs is threatened to gain compliance with the majority party leadership. Local elected officials' pay is set by the legislature as stated in Colorado Law. The previous governor's process brought the need for a pay increase before the legislature and that legislature is attempting to buy compliance. I have great admiration for my fellow sheriffs; they are true professionals with high morals and principles. Having served with many of them for years, I can say they are men of honor with a passion to serve and do what's right. I will not speak for them, but I personally will not concede to these threats, stand by while coercive acts such as this go without mention, nor will I compromise my values and beliefs for a justified pay raise based on studies performed by a bi-partisan commission formed by the democrat leadership. To be clear, this salary recommendation would have no affect on me, as I am term limited. Setting salaries is the responsibility of the legislature. This authority should not be used as a tool of coercion, but unfortunately it appears to have become such a device and there is nothing to suggest otherwise.

Statement regarding Sheriff Maketa's stance on gun control:
Gun Control: A Superficial Approach to a Complex Problem
Most citizens throughout El Paso County are well aware of my second amendment stance. I have recently received several emails asking my position on this subject as well as my position on gun control and weapons bans. In response, I felt obligated to take a few minutes and reaffirm my position on firearms ownership and offer a few of my concerns with the wrongful approach I see championed and pushed upon us by elected leaders at the State and Federal level. First and foremost, I absolutely believe in our Second Amendment rights. I stand firmly against, any effort that infringes on the rights of law abiding citizens to own and posses firearms of their choice. Furthermore, I will actively oppose any effort that infringes upon your second amendment rights.
Like every elected official in the state, I took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Colorado. This means all rights. Prior to being elected as Sheriff, I took the same oath as a Deputy Sheriff and prior to my law enforcement career, I was a firearms enthusiast and sportsman. I am among the millions of Americans who chooses to exercise their right to bear arms and I avoid judgment of those who choose not to. Today and everyday into the future, I will continue to not only exercise this right but ensure that our law abiding citizens' right to bear arms is protected. I personally believe this right among others is non-negotiable. Some have suggested this is a political issue or a right and left issue. I strongly oppose that suggestion. This is a constitutional rights issue and we should all stand by this document which is the foundation of this nation.
It is very disturbing to witness so many that have taken the same oath I have, to now flip flop and use tragedies such as the Sandy Hook school shooting to further their personal agenda and very flawed thought process. Bans such as those that have been discussed and proposed in this state and other states will not make our schools any safer. Emotionally labeling "scary looking" weapons as assault weapons and banning them will not make our schools and communities any safer. Sadly enough, those who propose these restrictions never would or could guarantee that by imposing such restrictions will ensure the safety of our communities. It does however, target law abiding citizens and chips away at our constitutional rights. The flawed thinking that the criminal or an individual intending harm will obey these laws is unrealistic and statistics have proven this year after year. The notion that restricting ammunition or requiring any form of registration is factually illogical and emotionally driven to achieve one agenda and that agenda is control. This is precisely why our forefathers had elected to give every law abiding citizen these absolute rights and why they restricted the power and authority of the government.
We as a civilized society should focus our collective efforts on the real factors contributing to the violence against children. The silent issue that society and our elected delegation refuse to address at the national and local level is how mental illness is affecting our society and the lack of resources available to address these illnesses. We should be sharing information concerning those diagnosed individuals who demonstrate violent or homicidal ideations. We should insure our mental health systems are available to all those afflicted with disorders or illnesses.
We also need to be focusing on our children and the influences they are exposed to and who and what is shaping their conceptual and analytical skills. They should be exposed to positive role models that increase their respect and appreciation for human life. They should not be consumed with influences or activities that devalue a human life. A seven or eight year old child should never be consumed with graphic and destructive video games that measure the player's success by how many people or things they can kill. This is an element that did not exist 30 years ago. Thirty years ago children played outside in the fresh air; today they sit with a remote, a mouse or toggle in their hand. They have become desensitized from constant stimulus and don't comprehend the value of human life or the finality of the loss of it.
Instead of the Federal Government, mainly Congress, continuing to engage in activities of which they have no authority and erodes our constitutional rights, we should focus on criminals and those who are most likely to commit acts of violence and not target the law abiding patriots of our nation.

Punto, Uribe could be on way out with Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers, after acquiring utility man Skip Schumaker, began clearing the logjam on their roster Wednesday by designating outfielder/first baseman Scott Van Slyke for assignment.
But the team isn't finished yet.
Including Schumaker, the Dodgers still feature seven reserve infielders on their 40-man roster. And Nick Punto and Juan Uribe are the two most likely to go, according to a major-league source.
Punto, 35, could be an attractive trade candidate — he is a respected role player who will earn a relatively modest $1.5 million next season.
Uribe, 33, is more likely to be released; no team will want to take on his $7 million salary, not when he is coming off two injury-marred seasons and a sub-.560 OPS in both.
The Dodgers' other utility candidates include Schumaker, Jerry Hairston, Elian Herrera, Dee Gordon and Justin Sellers.
Gordon remains a candidate to be traded. Hairston is coming off hip surgery, Sellers back surgery. Both are expected back for the start of spring training.

Story highlights
- Construction of more than 10 Buddha statues are planned in China this year
- China's Spring Temple Buddha is the world's tallest statue at a total of 208 meters high
- Leshan Giant Buddha is over 1,200 years old and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Travelers who get kicks out of posing with huge Buddha statues have 10 more reasons to head to China this year.
The company responsible for Hong Kong's 34-meter-tall Tian Tan Buddha and Hainan's 108-meter-tall Guanyin of the South Sea of Sanya statue plans to throw up 10 more huge Buddha replicas during 2014, according to the Chinese magazine New Weekly (Chinese only).
The new builds have been inspired by the success, and profits, at Lingshan Park in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, which features an 88-meter-tall Buddha statue also built by Aerosun Corporation, and drew 3.8 million visitors last year.
The statue helped earn the park more than RMB 1.2 billion ($194 million) in 2013 according to the South China Morning Post.
Tourism excellence
Of the 408 visitors who reviewed the park on Tripadvisor.com, 205 people rated the attraction as "excellent."
"Lingshan tourist center is a great afternoon out, sure there is a lot of captive marketing but after spending that amount of money on such a beautiful place they deserve to make a few RMB out of us," wrote KeefieG from East London, South Africa in November.
Mr Xie X from Dobbstown was more skeptical: "This is a tourist trap if I ever saw one. I mean really, over two hundred RMB to see a statue? And not even any historical relevance," he wrote in his review.
Other big Buddhas
The world's tallest Buddha is also the world's largest statue -- China's Spring Temple Buddha in Lushan County, Henan Province totals 208 meters from the base of its pedestal to the top of its head.
The world's largest stone Buddha -- the 71-meter-high Leshan Giant Buddha -- can be found in Mount Emei Scenic Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in China's Sichuan Province.
It was carved out of a hillside more than 1,200 year ago.
Hong Kong's Tian Tan Buddha is a relatively diminutive 34 meters tall. Its total height would barely reach the Spring Temple Buddha's knees.
Nevertheless, the Hong Kong tourism board estimates more than one million people visit the Buddha each year, many of whom get there via the 20-minute Ngong Ping cable car ride.

Very Helpful for gall bladder issues
Beta-TCP has helped me with gall bladder and liver issues for many years. When I feel my bile has thickened or starting stones I up my intake of Beta-TCP and phospotidyl choline and it really helps.

Great product
I ordered Beta-TCP after a bio survey indicated it was something I needed. Beta-TCP was recommended by my holistic health practitioner. Ive actually had a nice side effect -- I am losing weight on it. Already lost 4# in the first week. I know this wasnt supposed to be what it was for but Im very happy with it. I cant wait for my follow up bio survey "exam".

Helped for a time......
This product was recommended to me by my Functional Med. Practitioner. for some gall-bladder congestion. I went through one bottle and the next appt. he felt there was improvement and did not made a recommendation for my continuing on it. It has a lot of good things for the gall-bladder although because I am more sensitive to enzymes there were times I just took 1/2 a tablet because it was a little strong. But it is definitely a good product and helped my situation.
Was helpful with gall-bladder congestion
May be strong for sensitive types

Great Product by Biotics
I order Beta-TCP about once a year just for gallbladder maintenance. I was having digestive issues a few years back, nauseated and loss of appetite. My blood work came back with a high bilirubin count and my nutritionist recommended that I try Beta-TCP. I have been back to normal ever since!

Beta-TCP is working!
I have been taking Beta TCP by Biotics Research upon recommendation by my nutritional therapist based on a functional analysis that was performed as part of my overall health evaluation.
It seems be working in addressing the issues for which is was recommended.
The taste leaves a bit to be desired so I make sure I take it with water! As I have stated before, the expense of supplements because they are not covered by insurance can be an issue.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.
By P.D.
from Florida
What a difference!
Being that I have crohns disease and a lot of digestive issues this was like a magic pill for me. I had so much pain with my bladder and after one day of taking Beta - TCP by Biotics Research I was relieved of all the pain. I could not believe that something like this was available that would do just it is supposed to do. I will continue to buy this every time I run out.
It did what it said would do.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Reviews of this property
After 2 visits in Prague staying at a **** hotel, we were ready for a
new experience - enjoying the luxury of a nice flat with all amenities
such as a fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi and TV.
The layout of the flat is special and with its narrow steps to the
bedrooms not suitable for everyone (as indicated in the flat
description), but for those people who like a "non-conventional
architecture" simply a highlight.
Located very close to the Wenceslas Square, you can reach almost
everything literally in minutes. Surely, the traffic on Legerova
Street is not everybody's cup of tea, but the triple glazed windows
keep the noise away - if you don't mind sleeping with closed windows.
So it's a perfect flat for people who want to be accommodated
centrally and look for a spacious apartment with all the comfort that
one is used from home.
again and again! We were very pleased with everything.
Immer wieder! Wir waren mit allem sehr zufrieden.
Super apartment, perfectly equipped, Good windows keep the city noise typical street back largely, when they are closed; then you can sleep well. Andrew is a nice landlord who is also valuable tips on the city.
Super Wohnung, perfekt ausgestattet, Gute Fenster halten den großstadttypischen Straßenlärm weitgehend zurück, wenn sie geschlossen sind; dann kann man gut schlafen. Andrew ist ein netter Vermieter, der auch wertvolle Tipps zur Stadt gibt.
Andrew was a fantastic host.
He took time to tell is where and what's.
His view of where to go to meet the locals was specific and helped us alot.
The apartment was fantastic, and the location was just perfect. 4 min walk to the nearest metro.
Will stay there again next time.
Thx Andrew
We were welcomed and adopted as well. Good advice from Mr. Scott were very helpful. The apartment is really central. However, a car in this environment is very cumbersome. Can also be neglected because of the excellent connections with metro and tram. The apartment itself is to say that it is really well decorated and spacious. We will gladly return.
Elke and Günter Rottländer and friend (elderly couples).
Wir wurden freundlich empfangen und ebenso verabschiedet. Gute Ratschläge von Mr. Scott waren sehr hilfreich. Das Appartement liegt wirklich zentral. Allerdings ist ein Auto in diesem Umfeld sehr hinderlich. Kann aber wegen der ausgezeichneten Verbindungen mit U- und Straßenbahn vernachlässigt werden. Zur Wohnung selbst ist zu sagen, daß sie wirklich gut eingerichtet und geräumig ist. Wir werden gerne zurückkommen.
Elke und Günter Rottländer und Freund (ältere Ehepaare).
Apartment is great. Close to metro and shops. Andy gave us great information regarding what tours to take to make the most of our stay. Will definitely come back.
Very nice apartment and convenient to downtown.
Appartamento molto carino e comodo per il centro.
The apartment is great, clean and well located. The images correspond absolutely to the facts. Andrew has given us great recommendations and was very friendly. And most important: Prague is a great city!
Die Wohnung ist prima, sauber und gut gelegen. Die Bilder entsprechen absolut den Tatsachen. Andrew hat uns super Empfehlungen gegeben und war sehr freundlich. Und das wichtigste: Prag ist eine tolle Stadt!
Before the trip, Andrew answered all the questions I asked him. The day of our arrival and our departure, he organized the transfer from the airport to his apartment. We could contact in case of problems, but this was not necessary. He even gave us some good addresses for restaurants "good value for money." As for the apartment located close to a subway station and not far from many within easy walking distance tourist places, it is very well designed for 4 people, very clean, very well equipped, just a little noisy due to fairly heavy traffic.
Avant le séjour, Andrew a répondu à toutes les questions que je lui posais. Le jour de notre arrivée et de notre départ, il a organisé le transfert entre l'aéroport et son appartement. Nous pouvions le joindre en cas de problème, mais cela n'a pas été nécessaire. Il nous a même donné de bonnes adresses pour des restaurants "bon rapport qualité-prix".
Quant à l'appartement situé à deux pas d'une station de métro et peu éloigné de nombreux lieux touristiques facilement accessibles à pied, il est très bien agencé pour 4 personnes, très propre, très bien équipé, juste un peu bruyant à cause du trafic assez intense.

text: Sean made the discovery at his home, totally by accident. He told his friend Joe, who passed on the information to the head of the local beekeepers association in county Galway. Sean was invited to present his findings at the local hall. Word had obviously spread because over 1000 people showed up, beekeepers, professors, reporters and even the KGB and FBI had representatives there disguised as beekeepers (only ones wearing full beekeeping suits!). The usefulness of bees that could hear was obviously very lucrative. The presentation has cancelled on safety grounds by the hall owner as there were only 14 chairs. It was rescheduled one week later in Trinity College Dublin. When Sean went out on stage there were over 5000 people in attendance. He started by introducing his bee, who was kept safely in a match box, as Kate. Not a sound from the audience. Next he told Kate to fly around the room one time and sit back on his shoulder. Amid slight murmurs from the crowd she did exactly that. Next he told her to turn off the lights in the auditorium. She did! A definite round of applause from the crowd. Next Sean told Kate to bring to lift the empty box of matches across to the other end of the stage. Amazingly, even though it was over 500 times her body weight, she did. Standing ovation from everyone. The KGB agent still dressed in the bee suit offered 5 million euro, the FBI agent offered 10 million. Sean put up both hands to hush the crowd. He said that his scientific hypothesis was almost proven and that financials could be discussed later. So for his finale he asked Kate to fly dance an Irish Jig. With Sean accompanying her on the accordion she executed every move perfectly, landing daintily on the match box and bowing to the audience. The crowd went wild. How did you train her? How much is she worth? Is she the only one, are there others? The questions were being shouted out. Sean again put up both hands. Dead silence. He said this was the last one of his bees. He then carefully lifted Kate onto the palm of his hand and then broke off both of her wings. Sean said fly around the room. Nothing happened. He said to turn off the lights. Nothing happened. He told her lift the matchbox. Again nothing. He told her to dance the Irish Jig. As before not one movement from Kate. There were murmurs from the crowd. Sean declared, Proof that when you remove the wings from a honey bee she goes deaf.
