we already have since at least 2005 one wild honeybee hive in the yard and if this one decides to take up housekeeping nearby there's nothing we can do about it.via: email forwardThis is a video taken by a State Trooper dashcam.

Looks to be accurate, but the news link I've found is in Russian, so there's some translation haziness to be had, so some of this might not be 100% definitive.
Best I can tell the accident occurred on the M-7 Highway in Russian near a village called Omutishi in the Petushinsky district of Russia, about 190 miles west of Moscow.
On February 12, 2012, about 6:20 p.m local time, a Nissan Navara SUV driven by a 32 year old Moscow resident identified only as Alexander did lose control, briefly made contact with what the article calls "a Gazelle" which I'm assuming is a make or model name of a vehicle or a translation quirk, and then drifted into the oncoming lane where it was hit head on by a Freightliner Big Rig. The driver of the SUV was killed and the driver of the Big Rig suffered moderate injuries.
I can't figure out exactly from the article where the video came from. The article mentions a "Office of Traffic Police" but I can't tell if that means it's a dashcam video from a police car or that's where the report is coming from.
Apparently this particular stretch of road is notorious for it's accidents, being the site of several deadly accidents in recent years, including a bus crash that killed 12 in 2009, a crash that killed a family of 3 in 2007 including a famous Russian actor named Aleksandr Dedjushko. ~ read more

ACT 199 of the 2011 regular session of the louisiana legislature renamed and designated the kcs railroad underpass on main street a/k/a la. highway 165 in pineville, louisiana, the "fred h. baden underpass."
unfortunately, we missed the unveiling ceremony. it was this morning at 10:00 am.
that's a shame too because nowhere in ACT 199 does it authorize the pineville mayor, city council or the department of transportation and development to name the kcs underpass anything other than the "fred h. baden underpass;"
the obvious question to have asked the mayor, the city council and dotd would have been: where do you all get off acting contrary to the law? when after all the louisiana legislature legislated and passed into law pursuant to article iii, section 2(A)(4)(b)(i) of the constitution of louisiana and the governor signed -- a simple one page bill -- which plainly says that the official, legal name of this structure is the "fred h. baden underpass," not some psychobabblistic-mumbo-jumbo of a "fred h. baden memorial gateway"?
and ... "gateway" to what? it's a freaking freight train underpass -- it's mindful of uh ... hobo's, boxcar willie n shit.
what's more, they've unnecessarily squandered a fortune in taxpayer money on, among other things, landscaping, masonry work, lighting and light poles, paint and painters -- painting a bridge is not cheap, when what they should have done, if they were really fiscally responsible people, especially in these perilous times (for instance there is a report in today's town talk featuring pineville about how high gas prices "pose problems for public spending plans") was to have spent a few bucks on a couple of brass plaques and bolted them to the underpass and had an inmate go out there every morning to polish them with a $4.00 can of brasso and a rag.
the mayor and council with this ludicrous "gateway" facade scam has also obligated future generations of pineville taxpayers to have to shell out big money to maintain it just so.
what an insult to the memory of a man who was known for his fiscal thriftiness.
this "gateway" baloney makes even less sense than all the trashy electronic billboards the current mayor and council have encouraged and allowed to proliferate around town.

UPDATE: gannett/the alexandria daily town talk saturday 24 march 2012
on the second day of spring 2012 a perfumed prince is out harassing the commoners.
perhaps we would have some respect for the police if they were out investigating and arresting crooked politicians, elected and governmental officials, white collar criminals and other treasonous, traitorous rats who are destroying this country -- rather than spending all their time out writing "speeding tickets" to citizens who are merely attempting to get from point a to point b on roads that their tax dollars already paid for and upon which they have a right to travel.
when we first posted about mayor roy's fourth supplemental and amending petition back on 24 january 2012 the mayor's petition wasnt on the rapides clerk of court website -- despite its being filed in november 2011.
it is on there now ... and wow! councilman roosevelt johnson is in deep trouble if the mayor can civilly prove not all but just some of his allegations.
if mayor roy wins, councilman johnson will likely have to "forfeit his office" and perhaps even face criminal charges;
not only councilman johnson but also councilman edward larvadain, iii and councilwoman mitzi gibson are named as co-conspirators.
it appears to be quite possible that mayor roy could have all three removed from office. wouldnt that be something?
shame, shame on gannett/the town talk and kalb for shirking their journalistic responsibly and instead suppressing and covering up the news of reporting this extremely important court filing concerning the inner workings of city of alexandria, la. government.
the mayor's petition begins from page nineteen of the .pdf.

while this opinion is "not designated for publication," we cant imagine why louisiana's main stream media chose to suppress and cover up the reporting of it.
especially, considering all the braying they do over the importance of the states so called "sunshine laws."
the msm annually devotes an entire week to it; they refer to it as "sunshine week."
anyway, while this is a "not designated for publication" opinion what it does do is lay the groundwork for acquiring a copy of the actual audio recordings of court proceedings via a simple La. R.S. 44:1 et seq., public records request.
can you imagine what a boon this is to not only for main stream media but more importantly for bloggers and for other private citizens?
it's only a small leap to make that if the audio recordings of court proceedings are public record -- then court room observers must be allowed to bring in their own audio and video recording devices -- perhaps as long as it's done discreetly and unobtrusively. thankfully today's modern digital audio and video recording devices allows for this.
sooner rather than later most court proceedings will be streamed live online. technology, the modern era and louisiana's well earned reputation for judicial corruption and misconduct demands it.
it might help to to put a stop to the more flagrant violations if the judges as well as the attorneys knew that the public was watching.
so, the louisiana supreme court should stop making excuses and promulgate the rules and mechanisms necessary to make it happen.
props to honorable a. j. kling, jr., judge ad hoc, for getting it right at the trial court level.

so this morning we emailed mr. goins the sound file clip with a request to confirm or deny the rumor.
moments ago, mr. goins responded and stated that "there's a possibility for the future."
thats of course politician speak for yeah i'm in.
the next election for alexandria mayor is in the fall of 2014.
on 14 march 2012, in an unprecedented and historic event, the iranian parliament -- after twelve attempts, finally managed to summon president, mahmoud ahmadinejad, before it to answer some ten questions:(1) the budget iran's subway was supposed to receive;
the similarities between iranian governmental goings on and those of the alexandria, la., city council and mayor are striking.
(2) the 1.6 million jobs the government claims to have created;
(3) the money that was supposed to have been redirected from subsidy reform to industry and agriculture;
(4) the president's eleven day sit-in that defied the orders of the leader regarding iran's intelligence minister;
(5) the president's comment on the parliament's power;
(6) the delayed nomination in appointing a sports and youth minister;
(7) the $1.2 billion dollars allocated to cultural affairs in the annual budget;
(8) the dismissal of the foreign minister, manouchehr mottaki, while in senegal;
(9) the president's criticism on live t.v. of the conduct of iran's moral police;
(10) the comments made by the president's chief of staff about the iranian way of being a muslim.
it makes us wonder if the iranian parliament has been observing and getting tips from the alexandria city council on how to conduct an investigation of its executive - or vice versa -- because they both dont seem to accomplish much of anything.
also, it's amusing how president ahmadinejad and mayor roy are so alike in how they are both arrogant and long-winded; yet are smart enough -- or perhaps blessed by good fortune, to manage time-and-time-again to make complete and utter fools out of their opposition.
we guess that politicians the world over really are all cut from the same cloth.
