TravelPod Member ReviewsMillennium Maxwell House Nashville
We stayed here for two nights with a large tour group.
The lobby regularly has musicians playing and there is wifi available in the lobby. Dont bother with the wifi in your room - it isnt worth the hassle. The rooms are well appointed with lovely smelling toiletries. The shower curtains are TERRIBLE and resulted in water flooding the entire bathroom.
All the staff were friendly and welcoming. The shuttle into the city is a great service, especially since the hotel is a bit out of town. We had the breakfast buffet on our last morning and there were heaps of options

Historical Traveler Reviews Millennium Maxwell House Nashville
Great Place to stay
I stayed three nights while on business, hotel was nice, staff was great and very friendly, however the only negative would be the distance from downtown, not far just isn't in downtown so a little distance between the tourist "traps". Room was nicely decorated with sink outside bathroom so nice for 2 people trying to get ready, room had a chair with ottaman for ability to watch tv without having to be in the bed. Overall great place to stay for the price.
Good Nights Rest!
My husband and I travel quite a bit and know hotels. This hotel is nice, clean and comfortable. The room was nothing extraordinary but it was quiet and the bed was comfortable (which is very important to me). There was a nice work area in the room and a comfortable lounger/chair. Bathroom was very small but how much time does one really spend in the bathroom?? It was only a 3 minute drive to downtown but you may want to take a cab considering parking was hard to find and it's about $10 to park anywhere and then you're left walking anyway.
Highly recommended
We stayed at this hotel for a week in May 2004. It is about 2 miles from downtown. Taxis are apparently very high between downtown and the hotel (someone told us he paid $18 US one way in the evening); however, the Millennium provides a complimentary van shuttle service between the two, as well as the airport, and Opryland which is about 15 miles away (twice daily at a scheduled time). This was a greatly appreciated service and run by pleasant young men.
The hotel is very spacious in all areas. The property is situated on a huge lot with an enormous outdoor parking lot. The lobby is bright and airy with chesterfields, plants and a piano for anyone's enjoyment; it was nice chatting with Jimmy (security) for recommendations of local attractions and restaurants, etc.. The inviting outdoor pool is located on a large lawn with trees, and provides a relaxing atmosphere. The burgundy colored restaurant overlooks the pool through french-style doors; it offers breakfast buffets as well as dinner buffets on selected nights; the menu is varied; food is average; it was rather uncomfortable to sit in, given the seemingly highly set air conditioning. There is a coin-operated laundry service (2 or 3 washers and dryers), and small gift shop off the lobby.
Our guestroom, also, was very large. It consisted of huge windows with a lovely view of the green 'valley' below (the hotel sits on a small 'hill') and rolling hills in the background. The opposite side of the hotel provides spectacular views of the downtown skyline. The rather small, but clean, bathroom included a tub and shower with good drainage. Drawbacks of the guestroom included: local calls for $1.00 each (we were informed, when we made our reservations, that they were free); the tiny bathroom vanity was in the guestroom, beside the door leading to the corridor; the lighting was extremely poor; and our white socks were black within a couple of minutes of walking across the rug. We used the courtesy phone in the lobby to make local calls, although it was difficult to hear, considering the noisy location of it.
Overall, this hotel felt like we were "coming home" at the end of each day. If you prefer not to stay in the Opryland area, it is highly recommended over the higher priced downtown hotels.
Many other hotels in Nashville better
This used to be the best hotel in town. That was many years ago. It has been badly maintained. Parking lot is crumbling. Rooms were designed badly in the first place. Needs new carpet. New management. Etc.
Why would anyone stay here unless every other decent hotel in town were full? Stay at even a Hampton or Drury over this place.
We stayed at The Milleninum Maxwell Hotel while in Nashville. The shower was mold ridden. The sink was cracked and leaked onto the carpet below. We were charged $6.00 for one piece of toast, when surrounding Hotels offer, at minimum, a continental breakfast.
Consider yourself warned...
This past weekend I attended my cousin's wedding at the hotel. We also stayed there for the weekend. I was looking forward to getting out of the city and enjoying some southern charm. Upon arriving to the airport, we called the complimentary shuttle service that runs every 10 minutes. We waited about 50 minutes before the shuttle showed. We were understanding until the driver stated that he had just been dispatched 10 minutes ago. We arrived at the hotel at around 5pm. At check in we were told that our room wasn't ready. Instead of giving us an estimated time and offering us a drink in the bar, the very rude front desk person pretty much just ignored us. I asked to speak to the manager, but was informed she was away. After about 1 hour, a lady, who identified herself as the manager spoke to us. She had been sitting there the whole time and obviously didn't view us as important guests. After 2 hours, we finally checked into our room. Might I add, they didn't even offer to store our luggage.
The rooms are set up horribly. The vanity is outside the bathroom and is terribly small. It only allows one person to get ready. Not to mention, it has the worst lighting ever. I found it almost impossible to put make up on. I moved to the desk and had to remove the lampshades to try and get some actual light.
During my shower the tub didn't drain, so I was stuck standing in a couple inches of water. Our A/C also broke down during our stay. And this just didn't happen in my room, many of my family members also experienced similar situations.
All in all, I was disappointed with the hotel. The pool area was fairly nice and the rooms are decorated fairly decent, but the service of the staff was beyond poor. This hotel has some serious problems and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Coming from a hotel background, I know what customers fairly deserve and this hotel didn't come close to meeting any normal standards of even an average hotel.
Stick With The Coffee Not The Hotel
We recently stayed in this hotel for 3 days. We had 2 very unclean rooms. My sons white socks were almost black from the dirt after only a little while walking on the carpet, and this was in both rooms, there were also peanut shells under the bed. The air conditioners were emitting a sewer odor that the manager didn't even investigate. And lastly the person checking us in told us calls were $1 for the first half hour and 10 cents a minute thereafter for local AND long distance, yet the bill for the 2 rooms was $127 at check out. When we complained to the manager she said the clerk made a mistake quoting the rates like she did and offered to cut the bill in half. Considering it was the clerks mistake, I refused to pay any more than the original quote which she eventually agreed to. There were also other problems with the staffs lack of organization.
Attractive Hotel--Needs More Attention To Detail
This is a nice hotel that could be a magnificent hotel with a little more attention to detail. Lobby is very attractive and welcoming and staff is very friendly.
Bedroom area itself is pretty decent. Beds are very comfortable.
However, the smaller details leave a lot lacking: 1. coffee maker took forever to brew 4 cups of coffee; 2. bathroom needs a major OVERHAUL.
My friends' room was the same. Peeling wall-paper, stains on the tub, dirty caulking etc. 3. Lamp between beds didn't work.
Don't get me wrong; I'd stay here again. I just think it's time to sink some money into renovations.
Great place, great people
I spent the weekend at the Maxwell house a few weeks back. It was perfect. The service was great, free rides to and from anywhere, perfect dining suggestions, and the room/view are nicer than your "average" hotel. Try to meet Jimmy if you make it there, and find out about some hidden Nashville secrets.
Great Place, Great Deal
My husband and I have stayed at the Maxwell House three different times in the past year, and we always look forward to returning to it. The rooms are in good taste, very clean, and comfortable. We feel the hotel is a well-kept secret, sitting in an isolated part of the city but yet only a couple of minutes drive to the capital and downtown. The staff is very courteous and they treat you like family. The breakfast buffet is so good that we didn't even think twice about missing out on eating at The Pancake Pantry, a local favorite.

Campgrounds make for great base camps, not only for hiking but biking.
Many campgrounds, in fact, are located close to North America's premier bicycle trails.
"There are places where you can ride on trails and camp along the way," said Dave Schneider of Indian Trails Campground in Pardeeville, Wis. "It's a fabulous way for families to reconnect with each other."
Schneider said some of his fondest memories involve bicycle camping with his parents during his middle school and high school years. "If you take a family on a bicycle trip it's something the kids will never forget, even if they only do it once," he said.
Working with the Wisconsin Association of Campground Owners, Schneider helped form a "Bike N Camp" (www.bike-n-camp.com) network of 13 Wisconsin campgrounds that will haul bicyclists' camping supplies from park to park for a small fee.
"We've had some bicyclists who haul their own gear, but it's helpful to offer the service to families that don't want to carry the extra load on their bicycles," he said.
Across the country, there are numerous bicycle trails with nearby campgrounds.
The Rails to Trails Conservancy (railstotrails.org) notes that there are more than 1,600 preserved pathways along the routes of former railway lines and other corridors across the country, many of which are ideal for bicycling.
Several major bicycle trails are located in scenic and historic areas of the country. They include:
The C & O Canal Towpath, a 186-mile long trail that runs along the Potomac River from the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., to Cumberland, Md.
The Carriage Roads of Acadia National Park near Bar Harbor, Maine: Bicyclists share the roads with horses and pedestrians.
The George S. Mickelson Trail, a 109-mile-long trail in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
The Great Allegheny Trail, a 130-mile-long trail from Cumberland, Md. to Pittsburgh, Penn.
The Greenbrier River Trail, an 80-mile trail in scenic West Virginia.
The Katy Trail, a 225-mile-long trail along the Missouri River.
Kettle Valley, British Columbia, a 372-mile trail that follows the route of the Kettle Valley Railway in the mountains of southern B.C.
The Pine Creek Trail, a 62-mile-long bike path in the Allegheny Mountains that runs through the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.
The Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga Trails: This 100-mile route starts in Atlanta, Ga., with the Silver Comet Trail, which later connects with the Chief Ladiga Trail, which ends in rural Alabama.
The Trail of the Couer D' Alenes, a 70-mile-long trail in Couer D' Alene, Idaho
GoCampingAmerica.com has a search function that enables you to pinpoint campgrounds that have bicycle routes nearby. While bicycling enthusiasts often travel with their own bikes, many campgrounds offer bicycle rentals.
Here's a sampling of additional links to some of the more popular bicycle routes across North America. To find places to use as your bicycle base camp, simply cross check the cities near the bicycle routes of interest to you with campgrounds listed on this website.

Mexican Army busts Los Zetas leader in Nuevo Leon
March 16th 2012 · 1 Comment
A top leader of the Los Zetas criminal organization in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas was detained following several shootouts in the border city Tuesday, according to the Secretaria de Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) website.
SEDENA is the controlling agency for the Mexican Army
Carlos Alejandro Guiterrez Escobedo AKA El Fabiruchis was detained by Mexican Army troops following Tuesday's three hour gun battle which killed six armed suspects.
You can read about the gunfight that led to the capture of Guiterrez Escobedo by clicking here
Guiterrez Escobedo has been with the Los Zetas organization since 2006 and has functioned as a security chief for the organization when the group split from their former Gulf cartel employers.
Guiterrez Escobedo has been Los Zetas' chief in the Tamaulipas municipalities of San Fernando, Abasolo, Jimenez and Mante.
Guiterrez Escobedo is the brother of Salvador Alfonso Martinez Escobedo AKA La Ardilla, the alleged mastermind of one of the worst mass murders by the drug cartels, 193 people killed between August, 2010 and April, 2011 in San Fernando municipality.
Guiterrez Escobedo was the replacement for Geraldo Guerra Valdez AKA El Guerra, who was killed in a firefight with a Mexican Army patrol two weeks ago.
You can read about the gunfight that led to the death of Guerra Valdez by clicking here
The top leader of Los Zetas in Nuevo Laredo, who is also Los Zetas' number two man, Miguel Angel Trevino Morales AKA Z40, remains at large. The detention of Trevino's security chief put Mexican security forces a step closer to dismantling the Los Zetas' prize territory, Nuevo Laredo.

Day 1-2: Seattle to Mount Rainier National Park
Your journey starts with a trip to the heart of the Cascade Mountains, home of the stunning Mount Rainier National Park. At 14,411 feet Mount Rainier looms large in the Pacific Northwest and has the greatest single peak glacial system in the United States, covering over 36 square miles of the mountain with sheer ice! With over 260 miles of well-maintained trails winding through a varied terrain, you hike past glistening waterfalls, old growth forest and subalpine meadows to the many spectacular vistas this picture perfect national park has to offer.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included
Day 3: Missoula, Montana
Retrace Lewis and Clark's path across the historic Columbia River en route to the Big Sky cowboy country of Montana. Missoula is known as the Garden City due to its mild weather, so tonight kick back and relax under a brilliant blanket of stars.
Accommodation: Hotel/Motel | Meals paid locally
Day 4-5: Yellowstone National Park
Your next destination is Yellowstone which is the world's first national park and home to a large variety of wildlife including grizzly bear, wolf, bison and elk. This park is so large that its boundaries cross into three states. Most of it is in Wyoming, but parts of the reserve extend into Idaho and Montana. Yellowstone has one of the highest concentrations of geothermal activity on the planet. Herds of bison roam amongst the erupting geysers and steam rises from the various rivers running through the park. A fire in the 1980s ravaged much of the park, but it has recovered to the extent that it is now a living testament to nature's power of regeneration. You have a full day to hike through Yellowstone National Park's majestic back country wilderness and witness its extraordinary geysers.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included
Day 6-7: Jackson/Grand Teton National Park
Rising above a scene rich with extraordinary wildlife, pristine lakes, and alpine terrain, the Teton Range stands proud with its peaks rising sharply from the ground. You have the option to ferry across, or walk around Jenny Lake before hiking up to Inspiration Point past a series of waterfalls, rushing rivers and then be amazed as you are rewarded with stunning views of the lake and surrounding area. For the next two nights you overnight in the authentic western town of Jackson.
Once home to trappers and a hideout for outlaws and rustlers, Jackson is now the base for hikers to take on some lovely hiking trails as well as a town renowned for its cafes and western style saloons! Surrounded by beautiful scenery you can spend your days either hiking, mountain biking or for the more adventurous, white water rafting! In the evening you can steady your nerves with a relaxing drink at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included
Day 8: Craters of the Moon National Monument
Next, you cross into Idaho for an opportunity to walk amongst the moonlike formations of Craters of the Moon National Monument. When American President Calvin Coolidge signed the legislation protecting Crater of the Moon National Monument in Idaho in 1924, he called it, "a weird and scenic landscape peculiar to itself." This volcanic area is one of the best preserved basalt lava fields in USA. NASA's Apollo astronauts used to do some of their training in this area because of a perceived resemblance to the surface of the moon. Once you have finished exploring this fascinating landscape you will then continue onto Nat So Pah hot springs.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included
Day 9: Humboldt National Forest & Elko
The sheer rock ledges, glacial lake water and stunning views make Humboldt National Forest a must see when travelling through Nevada. The largest forest in the lower 48 states, Humboldt is a pretty special place with some great hiking opportunities, one of the best hikes being the hike up to Angel Lake. Keep eyes peeled for bighorn sheep, mountain goats, birds of prey and wild flowers. Overnight at the nearby city of Elko which is rich in Western history and has a beautiful back drop of rugged mountains.
Accommodation: Hotel/Motel | Meals paid locally
Day 10-11: Lake Tahoe
Next you have two days to explore the vibrant forests and deep blue hues of the beautiful Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in North America. It's so big that it contains enough water to provide every man, woman and child in the country with 200 litres of water a day, every day, for five years. It is a major tourist recreational area in both summer and winter with one of its ski areas, Squaw Valley, playing host to the 1960 Winter Olympics. During the summer the lake is popular for water sports and beach activities including kayaking. There are hundreds of hiking trails all around the lake ranging in length & difficulty. You have the chance to enjoy a colourful sunset while sipping champagne on an optional catamaran cruise on the crystal-clear waters of the lake. Later you could try your luck in Caesar's Palace Casino.
Accommodation: Camping with meals included
Day 12-13: Yosemite National Park
Yosemite National Park sits nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range of northern California. Here green forest meets granite walls measuring several thousand feet in height. Rock climbers come from all over the world to scale the rocks whilst hikers get to walk to the base of some of the largest waterfalls in the world. After a visit to see the amazing giant sequoia trees, Yosemite Valley beckons. Here you may bicycle, take a dip in the Merced River or wander the meadows. You will get to hike on the many trails that enable you to leave the crowds behind. The famous sites situated along these trails include Yosemite Falls, Nevada Falls, Vernal Falls, Mirror Lake and Half Dome. The views are breath-taking from every vantage point - the granite formations of Half Dome, El Capitan and Cathedral Rocks are sure to be forever etched on your mind.

Despite a similar incidence of cancers, Indigenous Australians have higher mortality rates and poorer survival compared to other Australians. The reasons for this are multi-faceted and may be due to later cancer stage at diagnosis, reduced uptake of or access to treatment, increased comorbidities, and higher rates of more aggressive cancers, however, little is known about these.
This study is a research project being conducted by the Menzies School of Health Research.The aim of the study is to investigate the patterns of care, quality of life, and comorbidities in Indigenous people with cancers and compare them with non-Indigenous cancer patients, and against clinical guidelines.
Primarily the study will identify factors that are modifiable (those related to health services). As part of this work the study will explore health care professionals' perspectives about Indigenous and non-Indigenous patients who commenced treatment to examine their clinical decision-making, particularly in the context of comorbidity, Indigeneity and geographical isolation from cancer care services; and those who did not commence treatment to examine their reasons for non-uptake or non-completion. The study will also explore the patients' perspective about their treatment: their experiences and understanding of cancer and treatment choices (including reasons for uptake of specific treatment option).

How Did M&M's Get Their Name?
Fargo Woman to Give Letters in Lieu of Candy to Obese Trick-Or-Treaters
This year, some children in Fargo, North Dakota may get a bigger trick than treat when hitting the streets for trick-or-treating. That's because a woman in the city has decided to take a stand against childhood obesity, which on its face it's a noble effort. However, the method in which she is doing it is turning heads.
Happy 60th Birthday, Peeps!
Valentine's Day Is Big Business
Halloween Candies That Need to Come Back
It's that time of year again when we apologize to our pancreas and then eat until we're sick -- Halloween candy season! Everywhere we turn, we're bombarded with chocolate and gummies and sour things and those peanut butter taffies in the wax paper wrapping that no one ever eats. Somehow those things have survived the ages but our favorites have gone by the wayside. It's bittersweet heaven on earth.

|Alyson Kennedy
|Socialist Workers Party candidate for
Vice President of the United States
|Personal details
|Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
|Political party
|Socialist Workers Party
Alyson Kennedy is an American politician, a member of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and was the party's candidate for vice president in the 2008 United States presidential election. The ticket campaigned for young voters especially.[1] At the head of the ticket were two different candidates, Roger Calero and James Harris; Harris was an alternate in some states because Calero was Constitutionally ineligible because he is a lawful permanent resident of the United States (holding a green card), and not a US Citizen. They were the first pair to qualify for the ballot in Louisiana[2] Calero/Kennedy won 5,127 votes and Harris/Kennedy 2,424.[3]
Originally from Indianapolis, Kennedy joined the socialist movement in 1973 in Louisville, Kentucky. She has worked in coal mines in Alabama, Colorado, Utah, and West Virginia. In 1977 she ran as the SWP candidate for mayor of Cleveland, Ohio against incumbent Republican Ralph Perk, garnering 1,225 votes and losing by a wide margin to Dennis Kucinich.[4] She first joined the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) in 1981, and was one of the leaders of a strike in Utah 2004,[5] also being involved in litigation.[6] In 2000, she ran for United States Senate as a certified write-in candidate in a race prompted by the death of candidate and former Governor of Missouri Mel Carnahan.[7] Kennedy is currently employed as a garment worker.

Gov. Paterson Backs Property Tax Cap
September 20, 2010 10:21 AM
NEW YORK (CBS 2) — New York Governor David Paterson was calling for a property tax cap and said he'll try to force state lawmakers to vote on one before the November 2 general elections.
Paterson supported a bill to cap yearly hikes at 4-percent or 120-percent of inflation, whichever is lower.
The measure passed the State Senate several times, but has yet to come to a vote in the Assembly.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver opposed the cap and predicted its failure in his chamber.

Wetherspoon's magnificent seven celebrate an award-winning approach to responsible drinking.
All seven Glasgow city-centre Wetherspoon pubs have been recognised in the annual Best Bar None awards.
The scheme, now in its sixth year, has been developed in partnership with Strathclyde Police, Scottish Late Night Operators' Association, Scottish Licensed Trade Association and Glasgow City Centre Alcohol Action Group.
Five of the seven pubs gained a gold award at the 2010 presentation ceremony. They are The Counting House in St Vincents Place, The Crystal Palace in Jamaica Street, The Sir John Moore in Argyle Street, The Society Room in West George Street and Sir John Stirling Maxwell in Kilmarnock Road.
The Edward Wylie, in Bothwell Street, achieved a silver award, while The Hengler's Circus, in Sauchiehall Street, was awarded a bronze.
Gary Broadhurst, pub manager at Sir John Stirling Maxwell, was also voted 'best newcomer', the first to win the city's inaugural award.
The Best Bar None scheme is designed to encourage licensees to create a safer environment for residents and visitors to the city.

French Horn Rebellion Are Band Geeks Gone Wild
A Quirky Take On the French Horn Built on Brotherly Love
Words and Interview by Laura Smith. Photo by Dirty Souf Yankee.
Since releasing their operatic-dance opus album last year, The Infinite Music of French Horn Rebellion, this sibling duo has been busy churning out remixes, producing singles and introducing the country to their "next-jack sound". The self-described band geeks from Milwaukee, David and Robert Perlick-Molinari have carved a place for themselves within Brooklyn's thriving dance music scene, with their own blend of electro-synth neo-disco. With a rotating cast of musical collaborators, they've teamed up with the likes of JPatt from The Knocks, Brazilian electro duo Database, Fat Tony and R&B legend Jody Watley to release a series of singles that demand to make people move. A combination of classical music training and production skills combust to form an experimental duo who are content creating their own genre along the way.
Tell me about the new Love is Dangerous EP and working with Jody Watley?
Robert: Well there are a lot of collaborations on that one. We wanted it to be a community thing. We've toured a lot and [had] gotten to know a lot of good musicians, so we had this idea to get a bunch of cool kids together as part of a band, making it like band geeks gone wild. It's like an international orchestra with people from Toronto, China and Los Angeles. That's why we have all these guest vocalists.
With the "Poster Girl" and the Love Is Dangerous EP under your belt, do you plan on releasing more EP's before working on a new full-length album?
Robert: We're going to be releasing these singles: two songs, two remixes for the next 9 months or so.
David: The nature of who we are, being independent and with limited resources, we decided the best way to go about releasing these things is one song at a time and really communicating the concepts of what each song as they come about. "Love is Dangerous" is a fanciful idea about taking love as an extreme sport.
Robert: Love is like the X-Games, and "Cold Enough" is about Milwaukee, where we're from, so you have to dance to stay warm.
David: That's why we like singles, cause we're flying by the seat of our pants. We can be inspired by something right this instant and we can get it out right this instant. It's all very relevant, this is what we're into now.
Robert: The biggest thing about this release is the new style we're concocting. That's why we did Love is Dangerous first, it's the poster child for this "next jack swing style," which is like… [begins beat-boxing]
David: It's like traditional "new jack swing". We've found after doing a lot of these new disco remixes, this is really fun but the next step is to make it slower and slightly more swing.
What do you make of the disco renaissance that's been going on for the past couple of years?
David: Well, we've always loved disco, we started doing disco. We knew we wanted to make music that was fun, classical, up- tempo. A lot of the stuff we were making was quirky rock and then we heard new-disco when we were first touring, and thought let's make some disco.
Robert: The rhythm is so much fun, the instrumental arrangements and the flourishes. Somehow it's cool, when you put in just the right thick beat, and how the kick and snare really hits you hard and slaps you across the face. Because of the technology that's available now that allows you to program various instruments and they way they hit on the beat so tight, you can't play it like this. That's why a lot of this stuff is coming out now.
Do you enjoy the freedom of the dance music format, is that what draws you to it?
Robert: It's a genre where, if it's funky and fun and it makes you move, then you can do almost anything. I like music that makes me want to dance, or physically move me, as well as emotionally and spiritually… [laughs]
What direction do you see dance music heading in 2013 and where do you fit into that?
David: I think I know what's going to be big next year. It will probably be a version of dub-step that's more like hip-hop music but without the rapper, called "Trap Music." But that's not what we're about, we're trying to carve our own sound and not something that will necessarily fit into a trend. When you first start working with industry people, they're just trying to sell your stuff and they want to package it. We've found that always backfires. We found initial success by telling our story of French Horn Rebellion, the story about being band kids and just some people from Milwaukee that play their instruments and didn't want to play Beethoven anymore cause they wanted to make something more fun.
You mentioned before about being more conscious of the visual elements of your performances, whether that's styling or music video concepts.
David: The core influences musically were a lot of '60s pop music and the early '90s production of new jack swing, funk and Michael Jackson. We started with that, and thought, what if you put Marlon Brando up against Wreckx-N-Effect basically.
Inquiring minds want to know, any French Horn on the new tracks being released?
Robert: On the end of "Cold Enough," there's a huge French horn solo. On the live show, we've been incorporating more French horn, as much as we can get. "Poster Girl" has a great horn solo, you know cause it's French Horn Rebellion so there has to be plenty of French horn solos.

State board charges Poulsbo doctor with using unproven treatments
POULSBO - A state medical board has issued charges against a Poulsbo family doctor who used what it says are risky and unproven alternative treatments on patients.
The treatments involved what are known as the Marshall Protocol.
Dr. Susan Shlifer has denied the charges brought against her in June by the state Department of Health's Medical Quality Assurance Commission.
She continues to operate her practice at Sound Health and Wellness, Inc.
If a hearing before the board scheduled for February proves the allegations true, the doctor in her early 60s who received her training at Georgetown University School of Medicine could lose her license.
Shlifer did not return phone calls from the Kitsap Sun requesting comment.
Her attorney, Craig McIvor of Seattle, stated: "Dr. Susan Shlifer is a well-respected physician who has been practicing successfully in Kitsap County for many years. She offers treatment methods that may not be well-understood by others in the medical community. We believe these charges arise from that lack of understanding."
A 2010 commission investigation was prompted by complaints from patients who saw her between 1998 and 2010. (An earlier investigation was abandoned due to rule changes governing commission investigations.)
The commission charged Shlifer diagnosed seven patients as having chronic fatigue syndrome with insufficient physical examination or tests. She similarly labeled six as having fibromyalgia. She then sometimes prescribed "cookie-cutter treatment methods" that were unproven and not effective.
Those included the Marshall Protocol, a therapy for treating chronic inflammatory disease developed by Trevor Marshall of Thousand Oaks, Calif., a non-physician with a Ph.D in biomedical engineering.
Among other things, it calls for restriction of vitamin D, avoidance of some hormones, avoidance of light, and continuation of medications even if they cause side effects.
Shlifer failed to fully talk to patients about the pros and cons of her approach, and her record-keeping was inadequate, according to the charges.
For four patients, Shlifer overused opioids to treat pain, according to the investigation's findings.
She didn't diagnose or treat four patients who had prolonged low levels of vitamin D, and she diagnosed one with a vitamin D abnormality when it was normal.
She used the drug Benicar at too-high dose levels to lower blood pressure on two patients, and when at least one became dizzy, she didn't recommend taking less.
In addition, Shlifer treated three patients with a thyroid hormone when it wasn't warranted and labeled two patients as having irritable bowel syndrome without documenting supporting symptoms, according to the charges.
Her actions put patients at risk, the commission alleged. Examples cited by the commission include:
* One female patient Shlifer had inappropriately diagnosed as having fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome was receiving a high dosage of the painkiller Fentanyl. Yet the patient was still having a lot of pain. A pain consultant told Shlifer her regimen wasn't working and should be reconsidered. Shlifer did not acknowledge the concerns and continued to provide exceptionally high doses of opioids. At one point, the patient was taking 13 different types of medications, and felt fear and distress. The patient checked off questionnaire boxes agreeing she'd be "better off dead" and "considering suicide."
* A male patient came to Shlifer with a history of chronic pain and chronic diarrhea indicating an undiagnosed condition like Crohn's disease or inflammatory bowel disease. Bur rather than exploring those avenues, Shlifer diagnosed fibromyalgia and implemented the Marshall Protocol.
The commission accused Shlifer of unprofessional conduct, incompetence, negligence or malpractice, all violations of state law.
Shlifer received a license to practice medicine in Washington in 1997.
Craig, her attorney, stated, "We are confident that in the final analysis, her treatment methods will be vindicated."

Ethiopia Partners with the U.S. to Put Girls Education First
First Lady Azeb Mesfin has been steadfast in her determination to collaborate with USAID on the award of scholarships to meritorious girls who would otherwise have to drop out of school. So it gives me great pleasure to participate in the signing of this agreement on behalf of the American people, to provide FreAddis the means to benefit over 1,000 female students.
Education is one of the most effective ways to fight poverty and all its trappings: hunger, disease, resource degradation, exploitation, and despair. Women are the caretakers and economic catalysts in our communities. No country can afford to ignore their potential. We all know women whose lives were transformed through education and who in turn transformed the lives of those around them.
I am pleased to welcome FreAddis as our newest partner in the education sector where we are working with the Ministry of Education to improve the quality of teaching and classroom materials for the greatly expanded numbers of children in primary schools all over the country. FreAddis hopes to eventually expand its reach and support to girls nationwide through funds donated by Ethiopians here and throughout the Diaspora.
In the future we hope to collaborate with more local institutions enabling them to carry out their missions and to make best use of the opportunities provided by the U.S. Government.

Originally snowshoes consisted of large wooden frames strung with rawhide lacing which allowed the wearer to walk on snow without sinking into it. Snowshoes still operate on this principle, and they are still available in that form, but snowshoes made with high-tech materials are also available and weigh considerably less than snowshoes made with the more primitive natural materials.
There are plenty of good reasons to snowshoe. Snowshoeing has a faster learning curve than cross-country skiing, the other option for winter travel. Snowshoes are less expensive and easier to transport than skis. Here is some information on snowshoes that will be useful in deciding which snowshoes will work best for your needs.
There are three general classes of snowshoes. They are:
Having settled on high-tech snowshoes, you will still face a series of decisions, for the ones best for your lightweight winter outing will depend on your activity:
In selecting a pair of snowshoes, you will need to consider three variables: the size of the snowshoe, its bindings, and its crampons. You will want snowshoes that are appropriate to the conditions in which you will be using them.
To begin with, you will be selecting snowshoes of a certain length and width. Heavier loads require larger snowshoes to keep the wearer aloft on top of the snow. To figure your snowshoe size, add your body weight to the weight of your loaded pack. If you have a lightweight pack, you will be spending less energy snowshoeing and you will balance better than a snowshoer carrying a heavy one.
The standard adult high-tech snowshoe sizes are:
|Width x Length
|Total Body Plus
Pack Weight
|8" x 25"
|90 to 140 lb
|9" x 30"
|140 to 200 lb
|10" x 36"
|over 200 lb
Larger snowshoes give better float in soft new snow, but in consolidated snow you may be able to use a smaller snowshoe.
Bindings are needed to hold your snowshoes firmly to your footgear, and they should be easy to operate even when you are wearing mittens. The type of bindings a snowshoe has affects the way it works. Many snowshoers pay more attention to larger, more obvious parts of the snowshoe and give little consideration to the two main binding types, pivoting and fixed.
Snowshoers need to be able to walk up, down, and across hills. High-tech snowshoes provide traction with toothed cleats called crampons. These are usually found on the toe or under the ball of the foot and also near the heel, and they grip the ground on ascents and descents. Additional crampons which run parallel to the snowshoe's sides are found on heavy-duty climbing snowshoes and provide additional lateral stability for traversing slopes.
Preparation for snowshoeing will involve decisions not only about snowshoes but about other items of gear as well. Most fundamentally, you will need suitable footwear to coordinate with them into a comfortable, stable, maneuverable unit. Snowshoe racers wear lightweight sports shoes for racing and training, but if you are venturing into the backcountry, you will want to use sturdy, waterproofed boots with your snowshoes. Mountaineers and snowboarders can wear their specialized boots with their snowshoes, as long as the bindings fit. Many styles of hiking boots also adapt well to this purpose.
It's a good idea to take the boots you plan to wear while snowshoeing with you when you go to rent or buy snowshoes. Most modern bindings are quite adaptable, but not all bindings may adjust easily and well to your footwear.
Snowshoeing racers don't use poles, but most backcountry snowshoers use at least one and more often two. Poles can push interfering branches out of the path and can improve balance on uncertain terrain. Either collapsible trekking poles with snow baskets or one-piece ski poles work well. Some snowshoers prefer poles that come up to the elbow, while others prefer poles that come up about to the armpit the way they would for cross-country skiing.
Not all snowshoers use gaiters, but they are useful for keeping your lower legs dry and comfortable. They are particularly welcome if your bindings are the fixed type, which otherwise throw snow onto the backs of your legs and into your boots.
I especially like my Northern Lites snowshoes for recreational snowshoeing and I even use them for multi-day snowshoeing over relatively gentle terrain. They have proved themselves to be tough enough for long backpacking trips, and they are so light that I can carry them even when I'm uncertain that the trails will be snow-covered. These snowshoes come with fixed bindings that are very easy to use.
For mountaineering I take Mountain Safety Research Denali Ascent snowshoes. These extremely durable snowshoes are designed for steep ascents and have a televator heel-lifting device that reduces fatigue. They also have excellent traction for traversing steep hills, and they come with pivoting bindings.
Northern Lites and the MSR Denali Ascent snowshoes are both lightweight snowshoes of their type. The Northern Lites are exceptionally light for recreational snowshoes, and the Denalis are low in weight for a technical backcountry snowshoe. Both were reasonably priced, but the main reason I chose them was their suitability for my needs and their light weight.
For poles, I usually choose from among several pairs of Black Diamonds because I am particularly fond of their "flick-lock" adjusters.
