Adjacent to agricultural and recreational areas. The sunny ground floor apartment with a protected patio invites you to linger just as the local environment entices you for walking.
Downtown Zurich is just a few minutes away.
BnB price includes breakfast and end cleaning*
(Guest parking in front of the house/short term only)
CHECK IN: 18.00h (6 p.m.) by appointment till 23.00 h (11 p.m.) possible
CHECK OUT: 10.00 h (10 a.m.)
BREAKFAST: around 7.30h or by appointment
Queen size bed, storage/closet for clothes and shoes, lounging chair, desk and chair. Wi-Fi connection powered by Swisscom.
The location is within walking distance to the Airport. (approx. 30 to 40 Min.) Within a few minutes walking you are in Gerlisberg. From up there you can enjoy the view while having a drink, or dinner at the Restaurant Gerlisburg. By "Föhnlage" (a warm southern wind over the Alps, blowing through the valleys) you can not only see the alpine panorama, but it seems like the mountains move through the light very close – it almost feels like you can touch them.
Shops are closed by 8 p.m. and all day Sundays. The exceptions are the Zurich main station and airport.
The closest shop is only 500 meters away. If you are hungry, think about shopping on the way home.
GARDEN SEAT: For smokers an absolute must.
WASHER / DRYER: Can be used on request. Costs per filling/load.
COOKING / KITCHEN: Long-term guests (more the 7 days) are welcome to use it.
Or let me know in advance so I can prepare something for you. If I have time, I like to cook for my guests. The prices depend on the menu, and start from CHF 25.00 including a soft drink.
Extra drinks (aside from breakfast) such as coffee, tea, mineral water, beer and wine can be offered at most times. Price on request. (List in the room)
I speak German and English (and with hands and feet, also some French, Italian and Spanish). I'll be happy to help and advise you on your travels. I'm a resident of Zurich and know the city and Switzerland quite well. My experiences as a "slumber mother" (Schlummermutter) are almost legendary. If you tell me in advance which occasion brings you to Switzerland I can provide you with necessary information.
Kloten is an ideal starting point to explore Switzerland and the rest of the world. It's the perfect location for day trips to Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein. No matter what your plans are, Kloten offers everything your heart desires. The closest bus stations are about 250 meters away. Both bus lines operate to the railway stations in Kloten and Zurich Airport, with no changing necessary.
Examples: Public transport - train - bus or tram
• In less than 30 minutes you are in the heart of Zurich.
• Fair and Hallenstadion in Oerlikon, reached in about 15 minutes.
• In another ¾ hour by train you are in Lucerne or St. Gallen
• In an hour and a little bit you are in Bern.
• In less than an hour in Basel.
• 1 ¼ hour in Chur and in many other places in and around Switzerland.
FROM TRAIN STATION KLOTEN every 30 minutes S-bahn Number 7 to Zurich HB (Main station) and along the on the Lake of Zurich to Rapperswil. (For the way home you can use the boats with the same ticket). Or to Winterthur ,the second biggest city at canton Zurich.
FROM THE AIRPORT STATION: Take the S2, or S16 to Zurich main station. Or many, many other possibilities to national and international directions.
BUSES AND TRAMS travel directly to the heart of Zurich. It is well worth using them if you want to see a little bit more of the city than just subway tunnel walls.
IN THE CANTON OF ZURICH you really don't need a car. Buses, trains, trams and ships can be used with the same tickets. They operate at regular intervals. On weekends you pay an addition night fee of CHF 5.00 and they will get you home from downtown Zurich, almost right to the front of my house door in Kloten. Smile.
GENERAL SUBSCRIPTIONS for endless/unlimited rides within the canton of Zurich and / or all of Switzerland are available at a reasonable cost. But these are only available for those who are permanent residents abroad.
A "half tax" card can be very useful too. Each ticket is only half of the regular price and good for one year. (Price CHF 150.00)
TAXI: From downtown Zurich to Kloten is approx. CHF 45 up to 60.
Public parking in Kloten: 18.00 until 8.00 h in the blue zones is free of charge. You need a blue zone parking disc. Time only one hour. Always set the clock, starting with next full half hour, and put it under the windshield of your car.
DAY PARK TICKETS FOR Kloten BLUE ZONE: CHF 10.00 per piece
DAY PARK CITY ZURICH FOR BLUE ZONES: CHF 15.00 per piece (available at police station).
Parking garages are very expensive during the day. Public parking prices depend on the location and can be CHF 2.00 per hour and much more. Parking max time is 2 hours. Additional payments are not allowed. Don't even try – you will have nightmares about the penalties.
Airport parking garages are CHF 6.00 for the first hour. Tickets given by policeman are fines, no ifs, ands or buts. I can tell you stories………. (If you shop in the stores at the airport, ask for A FREE HOUR PARKING).
HIGHWAY (Autobahn) 1,000 meters away- These may only be driven with a vignette. Yearly price for 2013 is still CHF 40.00 (January through December).
SPEED LIMITS IN SWITZERLAND. We are the country with probably the most street policemen and speed cameras. They are almost on every corner. So please always remember to stick to the limit in Switzerland. The tickets can tear holes in your budget quite quickly. Proceed no faster than allowed ,and certainly not faster than the 30s in urban areas. Within city limits the speed is generally in the 50's. The speed limit on local roads is 80 kmh and maximim 120 kmh on highways (Autobahn).
AND ONE MORE THING: The police will find you, no matter where you are going. On your next entry into Switzerland they will catch you.... this happened to friends of mine. A little shocking when you get woken up by two police.
No right turn on red. In Zurich city the fine is CHF 250.- Never cross a safety line. Your driver's license can be taken away on the spot.
Always yield, and give way to pedestrians.
AND BE AWARE and very careful: We have very bad habits of walking across the street without looking.
Don't use your mobile while driving. Tickets are CHF 100.-- and up.

Reviews of this property
We had an excellent stay with Ruth. We felt very at home.
We stayed there a few days before and one day after the Züricharathon. They spoiled us every morning with a delicious breakfast. Shortly after my marathon she even prepared a Mineralenbad for me. So Ruth is a love hostess who is very helpful and flexible, for example, because I also had a very personal (breakfast) wish. She really made trouble!
The bed was wonderful. By public transport connection to the city of Zurich is good. We were the car nearby and free parking. Fantastic value for money. But above all, our hostess was very friendly and we were able to get along well. The way we come back is great!
Thanks Ruth!
Wir hatten einen hervorragende Aufenthalt bei Ruth. Wir fühlten uns sehr zuhause.
Wir blieben da ein paar Tage vor und einen Tag nach dem Züricharathon. Sie hat uns jeden Morgen mit einem köstlichen Frühstück verwöhnt. Kurz nach meinem Marathon hat sie sogar ein Mineralenbad für mich vorbereitet. Also ist Ruth eine liebe Gastgeberin, die sehr hilfsbereit und flexibel ist, zum Beispiel weil ich auch sehr persönliche (Frühstück-)wünsche hatte. Sie hat sich wirklich Mühe gemacht!
Das Bett war wunderbar. Mit öffentlichen verkehrsmitteln ist die Verbindung mit der Stadt Zürich gut. Wir konnten das Auto in der Nähe und kostenlos Parken. Fantastische Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Vor allem aber: unsere Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und wir konnten gut miteinander auskommen. Die Möglichkeit das wir wiederkommen ist gross!
Vielen Dank Ruth!

Bei meinem ersten Besuch in der Schweiz habe ich bei Ruth das Glück gehabt, echte Schweizer Gastfreundlichkeit erleben zu dürfen. Mein Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm, das Zimmer sehr sauber und wegen Ruths Hilfsbereitschaft fühlte ich mich wie zu Hause. Alles war wie ich es mir gewünscht hatte! Ich wünschte, ich hätte ein bisschen mehr Freizeit gehabt, um die angenehme Atmosphäre dort genießen zu können.

I was pleased when this lovely jug arrived last week it was the quality and colour that really attracted me to it and the four little feet...it just looked like it was going to scuttle off across the floor.
Again!.. it was s shocka! of a photo and the four lion heads just looked like blobs of amber glass so I was really surprised and pleased to find them when I unwrapped it!
I love the colour combination of the amber and ice blue, the close optic design on the inside gives an illusion of movement... running water.
It's quite beautiful and... quite heavy for its size weighing in at … 1 lb. 3 ½ ounces or just over 1 kilo ..standing 16cm or just over 6 ½ inches tall.
I think it may be a Harrach jug but! of course I am not sure and would love someone to tell me what it is, and how old it might be!
Thank you for looking…..:-)

PHOENIX -- Was it murder or self-defense? That is the question the Jodi Arias jury must answer.
Arias claims that her secret boyfriend Travis Alexander physically, emotionally and sexually abused her over the two years of their relationship, and that she killed him when he became enraged and attacked her because she had dropped his expensive camera while photographing him in the shower.
Prosecutor Juan Martinez, on the other hand, claims that Arias stole a gun from her grandfather — it has never been found — and drove from northern California to Mesa with the express purpose of murdering Alexander. She was angry that he was taking another woman on vacation to Mexico, Martinez claims, and she killed Alexander in cold blood, first stabbing him, then cutting his throat, and as he lay dead or dying on the floor, shooting him in the head.
STORY: Arias trial goes to jury
In addition to acquittal, here are the jury's options as they begin to deliberate the case:
First-degree murder
Arias is charged with two theories of first-degree murder to double the chances of getting that conviction.
The first charge is premeditated murder, and Martinez put forth circumstantial evidence to try to convince the jury:
• Arias dyed her hair to disguise herself before she drove to Mesa; her attorneys said she did so long before the trip.
• Arias rented a car to avoid detection and didn't want red, which might attract police attention; she and her attorneys claimed she did so because her own car couldn't make the drive.
• She removed the front license plate of the rental car and attached the rear plate upside down to avoid detection. (But wouldn't that make her more likely to be pulled over? In fact, she was pulled over in Utah for that reason.)
• She brought two, or maybe three, gas cans in her car to avoid a paper trail of gas receipts in Arizona; Arias claimed she was afraid of running out of gas in remote areas, such as the national parks she planned to visit to add to her photographer's portfolio.
• And the missing gun, which was the same caliber as the gun that killed Alexander: Arias claims she pulled Alexander's own gun from the top shelf of his closet. Martinez pointed out that none of Alexander's friends knew him to have a gun.
• Furthermore, the fact that there were three potentially fatal wounds — one stab wound, the gunshot and the slit throat — could indicate that Arias had enough time to reflect on what she was doing. That in itself could be considered premeditation.
The second theory of first-degree murder, felony murder, is more complicated. Alexander died during the commission of a burglary, Martinez claims. In legal terms, "burglary" is not breaking and entering, as most people think.
To be exact, it means that a person entered a premises with the intention of committing another felony, which in this case was murder. And though Arias was invited to Alexander's house to have sex, according to Martinez's theory, permission to be there ended the instant that the murder began, thus making her a burglar.
The jury does not have to unanimously agree on one theory or the other. Some may opt for premeditated murder, and the rest for felony murder, and as long as all 12 sitting jurors chose one or the other form of first-degree murder, the verdict is considered unanimous.
If they find Arias guilty of first-degree murder, the trial will move to a new phase with new witnesses and arguments so that the jury can decide whether Arias deserves the death penalty.
Lesser charges
The defense is asking the jury to acquit Arias on grounds of self defense; it is more likely that her attorneys hoped for the jury to decide that Arias had committed a lesser form of murder.
Second-degree murder, for example, means there was no premeditation, and carries a prison sentence of 10 to 22 years; manslaughter, meaning Arias killed Alexander in a moment of passion, calls for a prison sentence of seven to 21 years.
If the jury chooses any of those options, they may be asked to deliberate briefly on whether there are aggravating circumstances that would allow the judge to impose the harshest sentence. Then the trial would be over and the judge would set a sentencing date a month or so later.
In cases such as this, juries are supposed to first consider first-degree murder, and if they can't agree, are then supposed to consider second-degree murder.
If they can't agree on that verdict, they are supposed to move down to manslaughter.
Or they can agree to disagree.
Juror questions over the course of the trial have indicated that the jurors are not in full agreement on every issue. It only takes one juror to cause a hung jury.
If the jurors arrive at an impasse, a mistrial would be declared.
Then the Maricopa County Attorney's Office would have to decide whether to retry the case at an additional cost of millions of dollars or to enter into a plea agreement with Arias, who was willing to settle on second-degree murder before trial began.

Looking forward to Globe's response. That dude has been everywhere. And my thanks to everyone that's responded so far.
sorry - south america is the continent that I have traveled least on. but let me try
Chile- the trains are supposed to be cool, going up to the atacama desert by train is supposed to be cool. patagonia, of course. that would be number one in my book. I would try to spend enough time on the beach to really enjoy the seals and sea lions and pengiuns.
Osorno is suposed to be vey cool, in the lake district
Santiago is worth a day or two - there is a museum of precolombian, and the municipal market is cool, go about 10 am, spend soem time choosing your sea food and then get it cooked up.
san Antonio, on the sea west of santiago, very good seafood. there I have been.
Brasil - I've just been to Sao Paolo. if you do go, the municipal market is very cool, the food is very good, espectially the pizza, the steak resteraunts and the fajuada on wed and sat. I am guessing that the food in Rio is substantially different, but the people of SP are considered foodies. very hot women. the one thing that is cool to see here is just the overwhelming size of the city - it may be the biggest city in the western hemisphere (that or mexico city)
my wife has taken a cruise on the amazon and loved it
Columbia - there really isn't that much to see in bogata, but the gold museum is pretty cool.
Cartegena - I'd spend a chunk of time here. very cool old city. I would read up a little on fortifications, the fortificatins of cartegena are probrably the best preserved early modern fortifications (pre-rifled cannon) in the world. also a great old city. ride a chiva (a party bus, really a great experience. the beaches are pretty good.
santa marta - there is a cool national park here, and very nice beaches.
panama - take a canal cruise, that is awsome. if you don't want to spend the money, just go hang out at the locks for a few hours. honestly, the rest of the country isn't that impressive, and is a little seedy.
if you are including mexico in your trip, go to mexico city, also an awsome city. I'd hang out at girabaldi square one night, hit the late night toco places in contessa neighborhood, and get to the anthropological museum. the latter is good enough reason to get to mexico. the pyramids just ouside of town are also worth seeing.
have fun. If you end up going to any of the specific towns I mention, let me know and I will get you resteraunt recomendations.

"I liked the shoe, but unfortuately I have to exchange it. I would get another size, but there aren'y anymore available in the color or another size. I am a true 8.5 and have a wide foot. I don't always have to purchase a wide. I purchased a 8.5 and when I tried it on, it looked like I squeezed my foot in and it was so narrow that my food spilled over on the side (not a good look). The fit was very, very snug all around, but it was truly comfortable to stand in. The padding is very good on the inside. I felt light on my feet, but just couldn't move. If I were able to, I would have tried a 9.5 becuase I'm sure the 9 would not have been too much more room."

Powerball fever
Bristol, Va. - Many Tri-Cities residents bought Powerball tickets for Wednesday night's big drawing.
The Powerball jackpot was up to $400 million dollars, the fifth highest it's ever been.
Area convenience stores told us they sold Powerball tickets all day.
Mandy Feathers, a sales clerk at George and Sids Convenience Store on Commonwealth Ave., told us sales picked up all week.
People bought multiple tickets, she said, even though they cost $2.00, a dollar more than the Moneyball tickets.
"We've had a lot of multiple ticket sales, like 5 tickets at once so $10 tickets," Feathers said.
The big jackpot made many customers add the tickets to their purchases at the last minute in hopes of winning big, she said.
"When it's this high yes, they say I've heard about that and they go ahead and get it," said Feathers.
Fewer offices seemed to pool money for a ticket this time around, she told us.
"A lot of individual sales, a lot more individual sales," Feathers said.
Many customers told us they were only buying one ticket for themselves.
The customers we spoke to said they have big plans for the money.
"I'll be far away from here in Hawaii," said ticket buyer Terry Ratliff. "Somewhere taking it easy, pay off everything, taking care of friends and family."
Another customer said he'd move to Miami.
"I've always loved Miami," Jacob Holley told us. "I have a cousin who lives in Miami so I plan on moving there and maybe buy or start a bar or something. A little sports bar, something to do."
A sales representative at Andy's Market, in Bristol, Va., said they saw twice the number of customers Wednesday compared to usual, and they told us they sold 200 tickets to one person.

- Sort by:
The Macoupin County Courthouse, built in 1870, used to be the largest county courthouse in the United States, with the possible exception of one in New York City. It was even larger than the Illinois Statehouse. While the courthouse still serves as the seat of county government, it has also become a showplace that attracts tourists, architects and artists from across the country, as well as overseas.
The Historic District includes the Macoupin County Jail, Million Dollar Courthouse, and the largest collection of Sears & Roebuck mail-order homes in the U.S.
The historic 1869 Macoupin County Jail was designed by E.E. Meyers. It was built using the "cannon ball" method which prevented jail breaks by making it nearly impossible to remove the blocks. This unique medieval-inspired fortress housed many lawbreakers during its 119 years of use, but only one prisoner escaped. He was soon apprehended a few blocks from the jail.
Macoupin County Historical Society Museum
The Macoupin County Historical Society Museum is housed in the John Anderson mansion, originally built in 1883. The main house is a museum with exhibits that chronicle the development of Macoupin County and its citizens. In addition to the mansion, several other buildings on the grounds emphasize the county's history: a one-room schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, church, wash house, granary and herb garden.
One of the oldest colleges in Illinois, founded in 1837. Blackburn is also one of only seven colleges in the U.S. where students work in exchange for tuition credit, and the only one whose Work program is student-run. This keeps Blackburn's tuition among the lowest of all private colleges in the United States. Over the years, students have literally built Blackburn, brick by brick; the only college campus in the United States to be largely built by its students.
This memorial in Valley View Cemetery honors Edward Coles, the second governor of Illinois (1822-1826). A former slaveowner from Virginia, Coles became an abolitionist and won the 1822 gubernatorial election as the candidate of anti-slavery forces.
Madison County Historical Society Museum & Archives
The 1836 Weir House is filled with an amazing display of artifacts representing local and county history, in addition to a historic research library.
The Main Street Gallery was created to display the works of juried artist. The art is professionally shown and is available for sale. Blown glass, pottery, paintings, drawings, metalwork, and jewelry are just a few of the art pieces available.
Architectural Ceramics has a great selection of ceramics for home decor, gifts, and more.
Arts of Fire has a pottery painting studio, ceramics painting, silver jewelry, and parties.
Colonel Benjamin Stephenson House
This two-story brick home is a wonderful example of Federal-style architecture from 1820. Col. Stephenson, who was a contemporary of Lewis & Clark, moved there in 1809.
Edwardsville Children's Museum
The museum focuses on expanding young minds through a variety of educational programs. It is available for birthday parties and field trips.
Children's Museum of Edwardsville
Toddlers to 12-year-olds can enjoy the unique interactive exhibits and seasonal events at this fun children's museum.
Opened in 1909 as an opera house and a meeting hall for the Independent Order of Oddfellows, the Wildey has undergone many transformations through the years. The most recent one is a $2 million renovation inside and out.
Civil War Monument at the Veterans' Memorial
This monument honors generations of soliders who sacrificed their lives for their country.
Bond County One Room School Museum
This museum is a living monument to the more than 72 one-story schools throughout the nation that served to educate children and host community gatherings.
Ten Talents Gallery features handmade, individual, and unique items by Illinois artists. We offer such items as jewelry, watercolors, ceramics, wood carvings, and much more.
Farm implements, tools, tractors, and other equipment are featured that date back 100 years. The museum is open for special events including the Outhouse Festival in the fall.
The museum, located in the original college building on the campus of historic Greenville College, features hundreds of sculptural pieces by Richard Bock, best known for his work with famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Originally built as a private residence in the 1870s, the house now holds an extensive collection of Civil War memorabilia, World War I bond posters, Native American artifacts, domestic arts, and items from local manufacturers.
Bring your children and show them a glimpse into education before the 20th century. Located on the Jr. High grounds, this schoolhouse was restored by the Bond County Retired Teachers Association.
The marquee dates back to the 1920s, but the audio-visual equipment is state-of-the-art. Three screens show first run movies on the ground floor, with a coffee shop and bistro upstairs.
In the park next to Hamel School, this building was built between 1820 and 1852 and moved to Hamel in 1980. Artifacts from the period are displayed inside.
Louis Latzer, the founder of the Pet Milk Company, built this homestead for his wife and family in 1901. The home had many modern features of the day, including running water pumped by hand to a holding tank in the attic, a manufactured gas light system, speaking tubes between many of the rooms and one of the first telephones in the community.

SHUTDOWN: Courts should not be affected
Published: October 1, 2013; Last modified: April 28, 2016 03:11PM
The potential of a government shutdown isn't expected to impact the judicial districts in Colorado.
Chief Judge Deborah Eyler, of Pueblo's 10th Judicial District, said Monday that while there may be some federal money that comes to the Colorado Judicial Branch and eventually trickles down to the districts, a shutdown isn't likely to hurt Pueblo.
Rob McCallum, spokesman for the Colorado Judicial Department, said that the state doesn't anticipate any problems with its grant status nor any impacts to the department.

Favorite lyrics... Hard one, I have to pick up something hipsterish and poetic just to look cool, cewl and kuwl. Although, I am pretty sure it's something by Joy Division (which isn't hipsterish, at all), Disorder is slipping through my mind. Probably due to emotional values.
So just for contributing's sake:
Joy Division "Disorder"
I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
New sensations barely interest me for another day
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away
It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow
What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again
I'm watching you, I'm watching her - I take no pity from your friends
Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now?
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold - then you know
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling, feeling, feeling
Talking about Tupac...favorite song here
[Tupac Talking]
Only God Can Judge Me
(is that right)
Nobody else, Nobody else
All you other muthafuckas
Get out of my business
Perhaps, I was blind to tha facts
Stabbed in tha back
I Couldn't trust my own homies
just a bunch a dirty rats
Will I, succeed
paranoid from the weed
And hocus pocus try to focus
But I can't see
And in my mind
I'm a, blind man doin' time
Look to my future
cause my past is all behind me
Is it a crime
to fight for what is mine
Everybodies dyin'
Tell me, Whats the use of tryin'
I've been trapped since birth
Cautious, cause I'm cursed
and fantansies of my family
in a hearse
And they say
It's the white man
I should fear
But, it's my own kind
Doin' all the killin' here
I can't lie
Ain't no love, for the other side
Jealousy inside
Make 'em wish I died
Oh my lord
Tell me what I'm livin' for
Everybodies droppin'
got me knockin' on heaven's door
And all my memories
is seeing brothas bleed
And everybody grieves
But still nobody sees
regulate your thoughts
Don't get caught up in tha mix
cause the media is full of dirty tricks
Only God can Judge me....
Only God Can Judge Me(repeated several times)
I hear the doctor standing over me
screaming I can make it
Got a body full of bullet holes
Laying here naked
Still I can't breathe
something evil's in my I-V
Cuz everytime I breathe
I think they're killing me
I'm having nightmares
Homicidal fantansies
I wake up stranglin'
from my bed sheets
I call the nurse
cuz it hurts
To reminisce
How could it come to this ?
I wish they dind't miss
somebody help me
Tell me where to go from here ?
Cuz even thugs cry
but do the Lord care ?
Tryin' to remember
But it hurts
I'm walking through the cemetary
talkin' to the dirt
I'd rather die like a man
than live like a coward
there's a ghetto up in heaven
and its ours
Black Power
Is what we scream
As we dream
In a paranoid state
And our fate
Is a lifetime of hate
Dear mama, can you save me
And fuck peace
cuz the streets got our babies
We got to eat
No more hesitation
each and every black males trapped
And they wonder why we suicidal
walkin' around strapped
It's the police
please try to see to this
there's a million mutha-fuckas
Stressing just like me
Only God can Judge Me.....
Only God Can Judge Me(repeated several times)
Powers that judge can not kill me
but only make me stronger
I don't see why everybody gotta feel
as thou that they gotta tell me how to live my life,
Let me live baby
Let me live
(Rappin 4-Tay)
Pac I feel yah
Keep servin' it on the real ya
For instance, sayin'
Playa hatin' marks wanna kill yah
Would you be wrong
For bucking a nigga into the pavement
He gonna get me first
If I don't get him
If you better start praying
Ain't no such thing
As, self defence
In the court of law
So Judges when we get to where were gonna
we're in the cross
that's real
Gotti, lurk thee
Creep tha fuck up on him
Sold a half a million tapes
No everybody want him
Now talkin' behind my back
Like, a bitch would
Tellin' them niggas, "you can fade us"
Punk, I wish you would
It be the same mutha-fuckas in your face
gotta rush up in your place
to get your safe
Knowing you on that paper chase
grass, glass
Big screen and leather couch
My new shit is so fine
I already sold a key of ounce
Remember Tupac and 4-Tay
The same two brothas dodgin' bullets
And represtin' the Bay
Pac when you was locked down
That's when I'll be around
Start climbing up the charts
so sick but they try to clown
that's why they ride the band-wagon
Still we draggin' sellin' live
Don't think I don't see you playa haters
I know you all wear disguises
Guess you figure you know me
cuz I'm a thug
that love to hit the late night club
drinkin' buzz
living lavish like a playa all day
I'm 'bout to floss 'em off
Playa stick with 4-Tay
Only God Can Judge Me

Slacker Cons :-)
"These are fun, laid-back Converse, with the loose laces & elastic back. The colour is nice & bright & they're distressed enough to where they look somewhat worn-in already but not like they're falling to pieces. They'll last.One thing to note is - The sizes listed on here are the TRUE sizes, NOT the Converse size (you would usually go down a size or 2 when buying Converse; normally if you're an 8, you'd buy a 7 in this brand, for example) so buy your regular size when purchasing from DSW. I did get them a little smaller cos of the slip on factor; they not uncomfortable though & I expect they'll break in a bit with wear, which is what I wanted. That works for me but figured it was worth mentioning."

The SouthEastern Utah OHV Club partnered with Millsite State Park to host a poker ride to benefit the park. Many club members along with people who were camped in the park came together to make the ride.
The course for the day began at Millsite State park and continued up Ferron Canyon to the Wrigley Reservoir turnoff. Just past Wrigley, the course turned onto the "Hunter's Highway" trail. Riders continued on that trail back into Ferron Canyon to Dairy Point, and then back down the canyon to Millsite State Park.
Following the poker run, riders were treated to a hamburger and hot dog dinner. Prizes were then awarded to the riders who drew the best poker hand throughout the ride.

Legend has it that King Harold "Bluetooth" Blattand, who ruled Denmark during the latter part of the 10th century, was so fond of blueberries that his teeth were stained blue. Others claim he had a dark, almost blue complexion.
No one really knows for sure where the king got his unusual nickname. In any event, Ericcson, a Swedish company, chose to name their new wireless technology in his honor and called it "Bluetooth" - a rough English interpretation of the word "blattand." For the logo, they chose to merge two characters from the ancient runic alphabet.
Naming the technology after King Harold, who is best known for uniting Denmark and Norway, is very fitting considering that Bluetooth is a wireless technology designed to join devices together and allow them to communicate with one another.
Even though Bluetooth is still not fully mainstream in Carbon and Emery counties, it has actually been around for some time. Ericcson unveiled the new wireless technology with its interestingly odd name in 1994.
Later, in 1998, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) was formed by several major technology companies to promote widespread adoption of Bluetooth. And by the year 2000 dozens of companies had joined the crusade and pledged to support it.
Although Bluetooth is a wireless technology, it is not a competitor to Wi-Fi. Bluetooth serves a very different purpose. Where Wi-Fi allows computers to talk to other computer networks (like the Internet, for example), Bluetooth allows a myriad of devices to communicate with each other. It does this by pairing one device with another.
For example, Bluetooth can connect headphones to portable media players. It can connect headsets to cell phones. It can even connect PDAs to notebook computers. It does all of this without wires.
Once paired, the devices become what is called a "PAN" - a personal area network.
Once two ore more devices are connected, Bluetooth can be used for a number of things. Music can be transmitted to headphones, address books can be synced between PDAs and computers, files can be transferred between devices and so on. The sky is the limit.
But not all Bluetooth-enabled devices have all the same capabilities. Many cell phone providers, for example, have removed the ability to transfer files to the phone via Bluetooth to discourage people from making their own ring tones. The documentation that came with the device should explain exactly what Bluetooth features are available.
Pairing Bluetooth devices often requires that one of them is put into "discovery mode." The one device then detects the other and attempts to connect. The user may then need to provide a pin number or password to complete the connection.
Compared to other wireless technologies, Bluetooth (approximately 2-3 megabits-per-second, or Mbps) is just slightly faster than infrared (less than 1 Mbps), but far slower than Wi-Fi - even slower than the aging "B" specification (formally called "IEEE 802.11b"), which operates at a speed of 11 Mbps.
Bluetooth is even a far cry from faster wireless networking speeds like "G" ("IEEE 802.11g"), which operates at 54 Mbps, or the recently debuted "N" ("IEEE 802.11n"), which operates at a blazing speed of 100 Mbps.
Bluetooth also has a much shorter transmission range than Wi-Fi at less than 30 feet. Wi-Fi devices, in contrast, can often communicate at distances of over several hundred feet, and in some cases even several hundred yards.
There are a number of reasons Bluetooth was designed to operate at such a short range. First, shorter ranges mean less interference with other Bluetooth devices. Second, shorter ranges also help prevent security breaches or data theft. But most importantly, shorter transmission ranges help preserve battery life. This is very important since most Bluetooth devices are in fact battery powered.
But short transmission ranges aren't the only security mechanism that Bluetooth employs. Device to device encryption is used to keep transmissions private. This is a very important feature to have when in densely populated areas like airports, malls or even at community events.
Unfortunately, security experts have shown there are some fairly serious flaws in the way Bluetooth devices negotiate encryption, especially in older devices. Newer Bluetooth standards should help alleviate these problems, however.
To further battery life and prevent security attacks, many security experts still suggest turning off Bluetooth features when they are not in use, especially on cell phones or other devices that are carried virtually everywhere.
And most importantly, consumers should check the documentation that came with their Bluetooth enabled devices so they know exactly how the Bluetooth features work.

One of my new favorite brands
"I found these on sale on line and bought them on a whim. The reviews said they ran narrow but even with wider feet I find the fit to be good. I haven't worn them for more than a few minutes yet but when I do they are one of the more comfortable pairs of heels I own."

"I needed a nice heel that I could wear for work and not kill my feet if I wore them all day. Usually I bring a second, flat pair of shoes to work with my but with these, there's no worries! They're totally cute with pants or dresses/skirts and they're not so tall that my feet get cramped after a couple hours.The only thing is that the left shoes is a little bit tight around my toes, but I'm sure that'll loosen up the more I wear them!"

As Douglas County entered a Stage 2 Fire Restriction this past week, the Highlands Ranch Community Association made the call to postpone its annual Fourth of July fireworks show for the second consecutive year.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office's call to enter a stage 2 ban, which prohibits the use of personal or professional fireworks, came on the heels of a week that saw a four-acre brush fire break out in Highlands Ranch, the Lime Gulch Fire burn 500 acres in adjacent Jefferson County and a handful of other fires around the state.
"If we remain in stage 2 there will be no fireworks," said HRCA spokeswoman Jamie Noebel. "And the chance of that changing is slim to none. Unless we get a lot of rain in the next week, it will be hard for that call to be made. I don't see it happening."
Even if the county shifts restrictions back to stage 1, which only prohibits the use of personal fireworks, but allows for professional shows, Noebel said the community association would have to seriously assess what the most responsible thing to do is.
"This isn't a joke anymore," she said. "This is very serious stuff. It's unfortunate we have to do this, but it's absolutely the right thing to do. We'll set the clock back for a day again, and wait to celebrate at Oktoberfest."
If the county reverts to stage 1 prior to the Fourth and the HRCA makes the call to go ahead with a fireworks show, Noebel said it will be posted at www.hrcaonline.org.

I had my doctor visit this Monday. At my appiontment I was right at 37 weeks. My mom told me they would check to see if I was dilated any and they didn't check that at all. They did blood pressure, weight, measured belly (which was measuring 38 when i'm 37) and listened to my baby's hearbeat, also asked if I had any contractions. I haven't had any contractions I've never even had one the whole pregnancy.
Should they have checked this? When did your dr start checking? Should this be something I should ask for? I was actually kind of curious to know.

Great boot!
"i first tried these boots on in the store and they fit great and were comfortable. I have very skinny legs and these are not too wide. I ordred them off DSW.com and they are very stiff and look a little cheap then what I remebered from the store. They will take some time to break in."

These boots were made for walking...
"The first time I put these boots on the first thing I thought was "Man, these are some quality-made boots!" Seriously, I've tried on some other boots and I can really tell that these boots are really well made. The leather has the perfect amount of leather sheen, not too shiny. I got the dark brown boots, which is the perfect shade and exactly what I was looking for. I have pretty average sized calves, and these boots have a small gap in the back, but not big enough to make them unflattering. It is also a more stiff boot, which is exactly my style. I tend to like more structured riding boots as opposed to the slouchy look; it can definitely hold its own. All in all it's a beautiful, basic riding boot that I plan to be wearing every chance I get!"

We love a well-placed dose of confidence translated into a sexy piece of denim, and we can't think of a better way to do it than with these amazing sheer-panel jeans. An oversized grandpa cardigan and studded camel bag gives this outfit the perfect touch of chic demure, but we love how the platform ankle boot keeps this outfit on the edgy side. Want to get really edgy? Trade in the cardigan for a moto-style leather jacket and throw in a killer clutch and your ready for a night out in the city.
Score a pair of these sheer-paneled jeans? We love these Siwy Denim Sophie jeans.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Sen. Bob Bennett came to Emery County on March 7 for a visit with county residents. Sen. Bennett offered some insider's observances to the climate in Washington DC at the present time. Sen. Bennett said everyone is interested in the future right now. He is interested in the future of Utah in particular. Problems in Utah are tied to Utah's rapid growth over the past years. Utah has changed dramatically as a result of this growth. There are problems in education and transportation.
In rural Utah public land use problems and wilderness are major issues. Federal lands make up 60 percent of Utah and federal and state lands combined cover two-thirds of the state. These problems will only become more pressing in the future said Sen. Bennett. "Utah has been discovered by others and there is a real in-migration to Utah. It used to be our greatest export was our children. Gov. Rampton introduced a program several years ago to ask former Utah residents to move back home. We don't have that problem any more," said Sen. Bennett. It used to be said the California State Legislature was the best economical stimulus for Utah business. They passed legislation making it difficult to do business in California and a lot of those businesses moved their business to Utah. Utah has a better business climate.
Sen. Bennett said he sits on the energy appropriations committee and the water appropriations. He gave up his agriculture seat. "Energy and water are essential, the whole world is concerned about oil and its future. Water is the new oil. We in Utah understand that. I am in a position to be helpful to Utah with those positions," said Sen. Bennett.
Businesses have a major problem in high health care costs. Sen. Bennett said Sen. Wyden asked him to look at his proposal for health care reform. He told Sen. Wyden he would be happy to look at his proposal as long as it wasn't a single payer government system. Sen. Bennett said his health care system, gives people individual choices. His proposal also has score, which in Washington language means the proposal has been looked at by the accountants and they have attached a figure to it on its cost to implement. "Every time anyone tried to score health care in the past the response has been it's too expensive and we can't afford it," said Sen. Bennett.
Sen. Bennett said both he and Sen. Wyden attended Pres. Barack Obama's summit on health care recently and he told the administration that his health care proposal has score and is scored at revenue neutral for the first two years and will save money in subsequent years. The Obama administration is leaning towards having the government run the health care system. Senators Wyden and Bennett can save the government money. "Utah business will be affected if we can bring down health care costs," said Bennett.
Bennett discussed the Washington County land use bill currently in the House right now. He said they have been working on ways to resolve the impasse over wilderness issues for the past 15 years. People said it couldn't be done. In Washington County there are scenic vistas that do qualify for wilderness, but there are thousands of acres that don't need that level of protection. The Washington County bill brought the environmentalists to the table along with all the other stakeholders in the area including the county commissioners. It is Sen. Bennett's hope the same can be done in other counties, but he doesn't think subsequent bills will take as long to work through. It is his hope to resolve the issues on the ground and disappoint the Sierra Club. Everyone has liked the approach with the Washington County bill. The county commissioners were on board, the Wilderness Society was on board. The Democrat majority in the Senate passed the bill and it is now in the House awaiting confirmation. "They said, Sen. Bennett we like what you've done. This has been very satisfying that the Democrats will work with you. I've built credibility. The American economy is still doing better than anywhere else in the world. For all the problems we are still the most resilient in the world. We will get through this and emerge even stronger," said Bennett.
Bennett fielded questions from the audience. One question centered around energy and the future of oil and gas exploration and coal in the county. Bennett said the government has been very short sighted on energy. The issue has been looked at in small increments and the whole energy picture hasn't been addressed. The demand for electricity is increasing. We use more electricity than in the past. One group says carbon emissions cause global warming. The oil and gas leases recently cancelled were the product of several years of public process and study. They were not midnight leases signed into effect by the Bush administration as it left office. The leases were auctioned off publicly after the election. They were seven years in the making. "They met all the tests. They were clean and proper and all they needed was for the Secretary of the Interior to sign final approval and he didn't do it. They say you shouldn't have fossil fuels because of carbon emissions. We need more and more energy all the time. If you say, no fossil fuels and you say no nuclear, then where are we going to get the energy. The answer is not solar and wind. The sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow. To capture and produce solar energy you need large solar panels. I ask them, do you want your wilderness areas covered with large solar panels. It also takes large amounts of water to produce solar energy. Electricity from coal actually uses the least amount of water. We can work hard on renewables, but we need to look at the whole picture. I want to explore tidal energy and hydro-power. I am not a fan of ethanol. I believe fields should grow food not fuel when we have other fuel sources available. The promised land where all energy comes from renewables is 30 years away. All the technology to do this hasn't been invented yet. Fossils fuels will build the bridge to this promised land. We can't do it without them. If that's the way it's going to be then we need to get about the way of creating and developing fossil fuels here and not buying fuel from people who don't like us," said Sen. Bennett.
Sen. Bennett was informed of a coal gasification plant likely to go in near Green River and asked him for his support of this project.
Sen. Bennett told of how they handle energy in France. In France 80 percent of their energy needs come from nuclear power. They also use tidal energy. The gas plants are turned off when the tidal energy kicks in and it saves energy. They also reprocess spent nuclear fuel rods. The rods are still full of energy. They cut them up and put them in a ball with broken glass and mix and heat and they turn into a globule. Waste is stored in a building. They reprocess it.
A question was asked about the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Sen. Bennett said the Clinton administration couldn't get it designated wilderness, but it is managed pretty close to wilderness. Bruce Babbit, secretary of the interior in the Clinton administration told Kane and Garfield counties they would make a lot of money on tourists. Sen. Bennett said the tourists come and ask, 'where is it'?
Someone asked about the illegal immigrant problem. Sen. Bennett said we must be in control of our borders and we must have a high fence, but the fence must also have a wide gate which will allow laborers to enter the country with a work permit and then return home when the seasonal work is done. Sen. Bennett believes most of those workers just want jobs and the border patrol can deal with the terrorists and drug dealers trying to cross the border.
Sen. Bennett said he voted against the stimulus package not because he is hoping Pres. Obama will fail, but because he doesn't think it will work.
The stock market doesn't like the direction things are taking; the market is telling you it won't work. Confidence has been eroded. People with any capital are at risk with the current proposals. Logical solutions must be looked at for current problems.
Sen. Bennett said too much is being spent on the wrong things. The country can swallow a certain amount of deficit while things turn around, but the earmarks that have been tacked onto the bill will not stimulate the economy. "We need to focus spending on things that will build the economy. We need roads and bridges. We need to stimulate the economy with tax cuts, the right kind of tax cuts; forget about cap and trade; I'm not for nationalized health care," said Sen. Bennett.
Sen. Bennett was asked how he feels about Pres. Obama. He said, Pres. Obama is a real human being and not a phony. "He is real genuine and very smart, but he is a complete rookie and I think he is in over his head. My advice to him, is to stop campaigning and start governing. Everybody on that White House staff will tell you what you want to hear. That White House is a trap and you don't really hear what's going on. He only goes to controlled events with controlled questions," said Sen. Bennett.
Sen. Bennett encourages Pres. Obama to get out and figure out what's really going on and not just rely on staff members for his information.
