According to a report on CVG, Overkill Entertainment - developers of multiplayer shooter Payday: The Heist - are currently working on a new Left 4 Dead title.
While some kind of crossover title was announced between the pair last month, this report is a little more specific, claiming that the new game is a Left 4 Dead prequel that tells the story of how the zombie outbreak came to kill, well, almost everybody.

Lionsgate reports that The Age of Adaline claimed first place on Friday with a healthy $4.96 million. That's just 10 percent below the first day of The Longest Ride, which is respectable given Adaline's lack of a built-in fan base as well-established as that of Nicholas Sparks. The film has similarly modest early word of mouth with a 72 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, while critics gave it a 53 percent. BoxOffice projects $13.5 million for the weekend in third place.
In second place Friday, Furious 7 eased 42 percent to $4.8 million. That brings its domestic haul up to a staggering $307.1 million in 22 days of release. Universal is projecting a $16.3 million, which we think will land it a fourth consecutive weekend box office crown.
In third place yesterday, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 added $3.75 million, down 49 percent from opening day last week. With $32.2 million in the bank through 8 days of release, the film is pacing 34 percent behind its predecessor, but is still performing well overall. BoxOffice projects a $13.6 million sophomore frame in second place.
Unfriended claimed $2.0 million yesterday, off 71 percent from opening day last week. The film's 8-day tally stands at $20.9 million. BoxOffice projects $6.0 million this weekend.
Home took in another $1.825 million for a 26 percent week-to-week decline. With $146.8 million earned thus far, look for a $7.9 million frame.
Ex Machina pulled an estimated $1.71 million as it expanded into 1,255 theaters for wide release this weekend. The strongly reviewed sci-fi film (90 percent) is also generating great word of mouth among viewers (89 percent). It'll be interesting to see how the film holds up from here. BoxOffice projects a $4.5 million weekend.
Meanwhile, Open Road's Little Boy bowed to $1.35 million yesterday. Although critics haven't taken to the film (14 percent), audiences are thus far giving it their approval with an encouraging 87 percent score. BoxOffice is projecting a $3.9 million opening weekend.
The Water Diviner took in $374,000 from its limited 320 location opening yesterday, scoring an "A-" CinemaScore in the process. The Russell Crowe-led and -helmed flick could net around $1 million this weekend.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to know what you thought about this topic. If you are interested in someone as more than a friend but their education level is lacking and they dont seem to have any future goals to further themselves on any level would that sway you from entering into a relationship with them? Personally, the education level differences don't matter that much to me as long as they have some sort of goals for themselves, whether it be in regards to education, career, etc. Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First Korean Job Discussion Forums Forum Index -> Off-Topic Forum All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1 Jump to: Select a forum Forums:----------------FAQJob-related Discussion ForumGeneral Discussion ForumOff-Topic ForumTravel ForumCurrent Events ForumTechnology ForumBuy/Sell/Trade Forum You cannot post new topics in this forumYou cannot reply to topics in this forumYou cannot edit your posts in this forumYou cannot delete your posts in this forumYou cannot vote in polls in this forum This page is maintained by the one and only Dave Sperling.

Private Outdoor Hot Tubs
Since 1982 Finnish Country Sauna and Tubs and Cafe Mokka has been an oasis for those seeking the relaxation and peace of mind that the Finnish sauna and hot tub experience can provide.
The outdoor hot tubs are private and, therefore, clothing optional. The traditional Finnish sauna cabins are also private.
Cafe Mokka is named for Barcelona's Cafe Moka, which is mentioned in George Orwell's novel, Hommage to Catalonia. Cafe Mokka, like Finnish Country Sauna and Tubs, is a fixture in the daily life of Arcata, California. Besides it's standing as a mecca for conversation and cultural stimulation, it is Humboldt County's oldest coffeehouse and is proud to serve "pre fad" old world style expresso drinks.
Sauna, tub or coffeehouse patrons can relax by the fireplace or at tables outside around a pond in the middle of a Scandinavian wood of birch and conifer trees.
Our fireplace is burning on cold days and the espresso machine is always ready. We feature a variety of pastries, Scandinavian open-face sandwiches and soups with fresh bread. Beverages include espresso drinks, chai, Italian sodas and a wide variety of teas and juices.
Sunday through Thursday from 11 am to 11 pm
Friday & Saturday from 11 am to midnight
Corner 5th & J, Arcata CA

Story highlights
- Bob Greene: With advent of digital age, paper use and demand has dropped like rock
- In fact, by 2015 paper use could fall 21% -- and then over 40% more in the 15 years after
- He says new ad campaign (you'll likely read online) makes plaintive case for paper's value
- Greene: One can marvel at, use digital media, but save spot in your heart for beauty of paper
While the rest of the world last week was fixating on the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel, waiting to see whether the smoke would be black or white, it wasn't the smoke that intrigued me.
It was the stuff that was making the smoke.
The cardinals, after casting their ballots in each round of voting for the new pope, burned those ballots, as is tradition. The burning ballots created the smoke the world witnessed billowing from the chimney.
The ballots, of course, were made of paper.
Which sometimes seems like an endangered species.
Had the cardinals voted on iPads, they couldn't very well have tossed the sleek tablets into the chapel's cast-iron stove.
Yet an all-but-paperless society is where some experts argue we are headed. The digital upheaval has gathered such force that every business that once depended on paper has felt the earth shift. Newspapers, magazine publishers, book companies, bookstores, offices of every kind ... the transition to digital is beginning to feel as profound as the revolution once ushered in by the invention of moveable type.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune recently noted the precipitous decline of the North American paper industry: "River towns in the forest from eastern Washington to the coast of Maine have lost more than 100 paper mills in a wave of consolidation in little more than a decade ... North American demand for three types of [coated] paper [has] fallen 21 percent." The Boston Business Journal last year quoted equity analyst Matt Arnold: "There's a secular shift to paperless. It's an overarching mind-set."
All of this echoes a 2011 projection by the research firm RISI, which advises the global forest products industry: "By 2015, most publishing paper end uses in North America, such as magazine, newspaper and book publishing, will fall 12-21 percent, compared to their 2010 levels." The firm went on to project "another 40-50 percent fall over the next 15 years."
Thus, there is a special fascination to a promotional campaign developed in recent years by Domtar, one of the world's largest manufacturers of paper. The campaign is not just for Domtar products -- it is for paper itself, no matter where it comes from or who sells it. The theme is: "Paper Because."
The campaign, hoping to persuade people, proclaims:
"Paper is good. Pass it on."
It offers heartfelt reasons:
"Paper means that you mean business."
"Paper is personal."
"Sometimes understanding the big picture means spreading it all out on the floor."
"Opening a nice envelope is surprisingly exciting."
I hasten to say that I'm not knocking those messages -- I agree with every word of them.
I just find it illuminating, and more than a little melancholy, that we have reached the point at which those messages are deemed necessary -- the point at which the paper industry feels a need to convince people that paper is important.
Before the digital age, the presence of such a campaign would have been puzzling. Tell people that paper is essential to their lives? What else were they supposed to write on -- rocks, using carving tools?
It would have been like running promotional campaigns for air, or for water. Such things did not need promotion -- they were indispensable.
(And, of course, there is the fact that, as clever and well executed as the "Paper Because" campaign is, I found it and browsed through it completely online, on a screen.)
A screen is where you are almost undoubtedly reading these words, too. But before I hit the button to send my editors every column, I print out a copy and do the editing and proofreading by hand, on sheets of paper, with a pen. I love the breadth and scope of CNN's digital reach -- the speed and efficiency with which the stories on this site are delivered around the globe makes me think of it as a planetary paperboy with the strongest arm in the world.
But there's something about paper. I'm currently about halfway through a copy of Time magazine, cover date September 25, 1950 (yes, I'm a little behind on my reading, but I'm slowly catching up). I'll often buy old magazines not just because I find them to be a wonderful way to delve randomly into America's history at precise moments in time, but also because, at the end of a day spent staring at shifting, constantly updating images on multiple screens, there is something calming about holding carefully laid out and edited sheets of paper, and luxuriating in the steadiness of it all.
Maybe you're the same way. Maybe not. Perhaps the magic of paper, and all it has always represented, is something you could just as well do without -- a source of clutter and mustiness.
But as magazines and newspapers and books and business offices and schools make their inexorable leap into the digital future, there's nothing wrong with acknowledging just how nice the tactile, comforting, here-when-you-want-me world of words and pictures on paper has been, even while recognizing and appreciating the marvels of the new way.
I'm very glad that you've found your way to these words on whatever screen you may be reading them, and I don't think any of us are fooling ourselves into thinking the paper-to-digital course will suddenly be reversed. To use a phrase connected to another once-ubiquitous part of our daily lives: That train has left the station.
But you have to hope that the departure has not been total, or at least that it won't become total for a good, long time. In that promotional campaign, there is one line that is meant to be perky and cheerful -- a line that somehow also sounds kind of bittersweet:
"Hi. I'm paper. Remember me?"

Track Contacts and Opportunities on the Web
Manage Employees, Project Time and Expenses
Track Software Bugs and Project Issues
OfficeClip has applications for your marketing, sales, project and support teams
See our Roadmap.
A Contact Management System (CMS) is an integrated office solution that allows organizations and individuals to record relationships and interactions with customers and suppliers. This information includes all emails, documents, jobs, faxes, a calendar, and much more. This type of solution is gaining popularity as more companies want to control all this information from a single integrated application instead of having different proprietary applications that utilize their own data collection systems (Wikipedia).
With contact manager you will be able to track prospects and customers and detail history of each change, in addition to tracking notes, events, tasks, documents, emails, etc.. In addition it allows you to send email campaigns to your prospects and customers.
Even though our contact management system is contact focused, it can also track accounts (customers), opportunities and campaigns. Each application contains comprehensively canned and user-defined reporting that helps management get a 360 degrees view of all the contacts.
Our timesheet feature allows your employees to enter and track hours, as well as daily descriptions of task and goals completed. It also gives you the ability to approve and deny employee hours before this data is routed to accounting.
The expense tracking system allows you keep track of employee, project and account expenses with ease.
OfficeClip Issue and Bug Tracker Software allow your company to keep a list of issues reported by customers or employees. The tracker also allows you to update and resolve reported customer issues.
"OfficeClip has been easy to learn, use and navigate for us at BT. We have found it a useful asset in managing and organizing our projects."
"This product has been a lifesaver! We are very happy with the product and support"
"We have been using the OfficeClip tools for more than seven years to share corporate documents and track time for more than hundred associates"

What a fun and entertaining read! Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, this surprising little gem is a literary novel that was long listed for the Man Booker Prize. It is a brilliantly conceived and expertly executed comedy/farce. It's actually a stage farce in novel form. The basic story line begins simply enough.
Oliver Fox arrives on a Greek island and makes a split second decision to assume another identity. In the arrivals hall, a long line of taxi drivers are waiting with signs of people's names. Oliver decides to be "DR. WILFRED NORMAN" and enters Dr. Norman's life. Haven't you ever been tempted to do that kind of thing? When poor Wilfred arrives (to deliver a lecture at a prestigious conference), there is therefore no one left to meet him besides the taxi that was meant for Oliver Fox, which delivers him to a villa and a rendezvous with Oliver's latest fling. And to top it all off, their luggage has been confused as well! Of course a whole series of mishaps and misunderstandings ensue, creating a hilarious story that I found very enjoyable indeed. Highly recommended!

Colorful Cooking column: No tricks, just healthy treats
When my daughter celebrated her seventh birthday, we made spectacular cupcakes in bright colors with enormous gummy characters to share with her classmates. Upon arriving in the classroom, I was not surprised when a Star Wars clad, brown-haired boy asked, "Is that nut free?" Schools have been nut free for a while, and no mother dares bring a nut near an elementary school function.
The kids started squirming as the teacher commanded attention. Then an athletic, pig-tailed girl inquired, "Is there red dye number five in the gummies?" It didn't stop there; another student asked about gluten and another about sugar substitutes. It woke me up to the idea that kids want healthy food, too.
Halloween parties are everywhere and all include food. In order to stay true to Colorful Cooking, which adds fruits and vegetables to all meals, I have tried and tested healthy, kid- and adult-friendly, nut-free Halloween appetizers.
All the kids have loved the nutty owl that covers a banana with peanut butter, adds pecan wings and candy corn beaks, but if you are heading to a classroom party, then try out the molasses owl that is adorable and nut-free. If you brave the graveyard of kids and sticky food, then you can set up a station and let them assemble the owls by painting the molasses onto the banana and sticking the oatmeal, Cheerios and pretzels on to make the owl.
Visit my website for more fun Halloween recipes. For a classroom party, try the cheesy bats, which are easy to assemble and a protein rich snack. The easiest treat, baked French fry fingers, are simple, and all monsters love fries. For a more grown-up version, dip the fingers in dark red chipotle ketchup. For more Halloween-inspired party foods, visit http://www.colorfulcooking.com, where you'll find recipes for hearty skeleton skins, Dracula bagels and goblin sandwiches. Happy Halloween!

Webster University Confucius Institute Receives Prestigious Recognition
Feb. 7, 2013
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 7, 2013 – Thanks to a long list of outreach activities – ranging from
teaching Chinese language and culture classes in 42 St. Louis-area K-12 schools, to
hosting two-week Chinese immersion trips each summer for local high school students,
to conducting workshops for employees of St. Louis companies that do business in China,
just to name a few – the Confucius Institute at Webster University was recently named
"Confucius Institute of the Year" by HANBAN, the Chinese Ministry of Education.
"The 'Confucius Institute of the Year' award is a great honor for Webster University and a reflection of our continued commitment to international education, not only for our students, but also for the community at large," said Deborah Pierce, who directs Webster's Center for International Education and Confucius Institute. "To be selected for this award out of more than 400 Confucius Institutes around the world is a testament to the hard work and dedication of those who have worked in Webster's Confucius Institute over the past five years and the support the Institute has received from the University administration."
The Confucius Institute at Webster University receives funding from HANBAN and is sponsored by Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU). Established in 2008, it is part of an international network of Confucius Institutes in 66 countries worldwide. Confucius Institutes are dedicated to promoting the understanding of Chinese language and culture, and to fostering friendly relations between China and the world.
Webster's Confucius Institute also offers adult continuing education programs and cultural events. Upcoming events and education programs include:
- A Chinese New Year Celebration for 2013, Year of the Snake, on Tuesday, Feb. 12 from noon to 2 p.m. at the University Center's Sunnen Lounge, 175 Edgar Rd. in Webster Groves. The event, which is free and open to Webster students, faculty, staff and the public, will feature Chinese food, entertainment, a Chinese New Year presentation and activity tables.
- Beginning on March 4, a 10-week Tai Chi class will be offered on Mondays from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and on Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., in the Emerson Library Conference Room, 101 Edgar Rd. in Webster Groves.
- An 11-week calligraphy class will be held on Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. in room 117 of the Sverdrup building, 8300 Big Bend Blvd., beginning Feb. 28.
Both classes are free and open to Webster University students, faculty, staff and the public. To register for either class, contact Emma Laheus at 314-246-2200 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Cheese and mushroom casserole with chicken
This casserole is simple and delicious, and makes a perfect snack during a picnic (bento anyone?)—you should use it as a basic idea for a casserole, since the pasta sauce is the stable and the most important piece of the meal. It's also a very tweak-able recipe! :-)
Whole-grain bread rolls
There are not many things that can beat the whole grain bread, unless it's 8 delicious little whole grain breadrolls ;-) These are perfect for breakfast, and you can easily prepare and bake them in one evening, for e.g. Sunday breakfast! :-)
My fool-proof recipe will be a great fun, and a good addition to your baking arsenal.
Salami frittata
Hot, savory and full or aroma, that's literally an omelette on steroids that smashes my hunger during dark, cold autumn days :-) It's also extremely easy and pretty fast to cook!

ALWAYS: Tapping into its Florentine heritage, Gucci is crafting a special eau de parfum, Forever Now, slated to debut at the Gucci Museo in Florence this week, concurrently with the opening of the "Cindy Sherman: Early Works" exhibit.
Gucci creative director Frida Giannini and perfumer Lorenzo Villoresi collaborated on Forever Now, which is intended to evoke the fashion brand's history and modernity as well as its connection to Tuscany, through use of ingredients such as Florentine iris grown in the hills around the city, as well as bergamot, orange blossom, lavender and leather. The base is composed of a rich blend of amber, musk, patchouli and vetiver.
This story first appeared in the January 9, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
"Just as the Gucci Museo represents the remarkable narrative behind our iconic products and motifs, so this new fragrance subtly conveys the elegance and sophistication of our roots," said Giannini.

Daily Veg: Roasted Carrots from Fatty Cue
Editor's note: January is Vegetable Month on Serious Eats: New York! Every day this month we'll introduce you to a different vegetable dish we love. Do you have a veg dish to nominate? Let us know!
Have you seen the latest Muppets Movie yet? (At least once, I hope?) Then you know the "Are You a Man or a Muppet?" song where Jason Segel's character and his little brother Walter (spoiler: a muppet) sing about their personal identities. "If I'm a Muppet, then I'm a very manly Muppet." That's how I felt about these roasted carrots ($12).
Are you carrots or beef? If you're carrots, then you're very beefy carrots. The carrots, roasted until practically blistered, are coated in an unctuously beefy brown glaze made with marrow, that incomparably rich, scoopable fat-goop tucked into the bones. You almost forget there are carrots in this carrot-headlining dish.
You also have to really like tamarind, which brings a slightly sour stickiness to the glaze. Kaffir lime adds a vibrant splash, reminding you too of Fatty's Southeast Asian flavor profile. It's a heavy, rib-sticking carrot—very beefy carrot (hope you're singing by now)—dish served in a little cast-iron skillet.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — The West Bank city of Ramallah is not internationally known for fashion, but organizers hope that its Palestinian Fashion Week will draw more attention to local designers.
The three-day show, which ended Saturday, saw models prowl the catwalk in the only major fashion show in the Palestinian territories. Their outfits included both short dresses and conservative frocks with headscarves.
The collections showed a blend of traditional Palestinian embroidery and modern designs. A creation by Jordanian-Palestinian designer Intisar Abdo mixed Arabic calligraphy on chiffon for a stunning evening dress. Designer Fayzeh Pearl showed off more traditional designs, including beaded wedding dresses and colorful formal attire.
Tamer Halabi, an organizer of the event, said the show in part shows that we Palestinians exist.
We are surviving, we have talents, we have designers, and we can compete with world fashion houses, Halabi said.
Here's a series of Associated Press images from the fashion show in Ramallah.

Chili-walnut scrambled eggs with rucola
I was busy today with shopping and home chores, and needed something to snack on and get some energy kick. I managed to buy some chili peppers earlier today, and decided to make a savory scrambled eggs with a delicious, energetic spicy twist! :-) And oh my, that was both tasty and exciting!
Baked cake doughnuts
Traditional-made doughnuts are made with yeast dough, and deep-fried to make a fluffy, delicious spongy cake. It requires a lot of work to cook them, though, but for quick snacks (Sunday breakfast maybe?) the easier way are the baked cake doughnuts—which are spongy, fluffy and delicious too! You can enjoy them bare (like cakes), or glazed (like traditional yeast doughnuts), or stuffed if you overfill the form by any chance! :-)
Whole-grain bread rolls
There are not many things that can beat the whole grain bread, unless it's 8 delicious little whole grain breadrolls ;-) These are perfect for breakfast, and you can easily prepare and bake them in one evening, for e.g. Sunday breakfast! :-)
My fool-proof recipe will be a great fun, and a good addition to your baking arsenal.
Creamy scrambled eggs
I love the creamy texture of scrambled eggs, but I strongly dislike the idea of eating eggs raw, so I hacked a scrambled eggs recipe to be both completely set, creamy, and pack a crunchy punch as an extra. It's so delicious with fresh bread or toast, and the consistency makes it spreadable like a cottage cheese! I come back to this recipe quite often, because it's simple, fast and feels luxurious ;-)

Map of our Baltic Capitals Itinerary
|Viru Gates from 15th Century
This is the day we did the most walking, and most of it was on cobblestones (which I don't recommend 3 1/2 months after rotator cuff surgery.) Tallinn, Estonia is a walled medieval city that used to be part of the USSR. I did enjoy the architecture.
|View from Viewing Platform
|View from Tower at Tallinn City Museum, Alexandr Nevsky Cathedral in background
The City Museum is located in a medieval merchant's dwelling in the center of the Old Town. There is a cafe at the top of the tower.
|Inside the Bastion Passage, below the City Museum
We toured the museum, went to the Maritime Museum, then ran back to the City Museum for the Bastion Passage tour in English. It was very interesting, except for the hokey ride to the future at the end of the tour. The wall was used as a bomb shelter during World War I.
|Cannon inside the Maritime Museum
|Ship in the Maritime Museum
|Early Diving Suit in Maritime Museum
|Blend of Medieval and Modern architecture
We are not sure what this large building is, but it is about the size of a city block, and has LOTS of steps (more than I care to remember.) If you visit Tallinn, the Maritime Museum is near the entrance to Old Town, not far from the cruise terminal. You can get a combo ticket to the Maritime and the Seaplane Harbor Museums, where you can go under a submarine. It is only about a 15 minute walk from the Maritime Museum, but in the opposite direction from the City Museum with the Bastion Passages. In case you haven't figured it out, we walked past the Maritime Museum, to the furthest corner of the town (City Museum), then back to the Maritime Museum, then back to the City Museum for the Bastion Passage tour, then we tried to make it to the Seaplane Harbor Museum before boarding the ship. We might have made it, but I think we got a little turned around, and someone decided we'd only have 15 minutes at the Seaplane Museum before sprinting back to the ship (you guessed it, that would be me.)

Vail Daily letters to the editor
Vail, CO, Colorado
I'll go with a track record
Response to Jack Van Ens' Oct. 7 commentary: Sunday morning I read another of Jack's disturbing commentaries on all the things wrong with Republicans.
I, too, grew up in a household in which my parents were staunch supporters of Ike. In addition to supporting Ike, unlike Mr. Van Ens, my God-fearing parents were ecumenical about other religions. In fact, unlike Mr. Van Ens, they were also ecumenical about the opposing party.
Perhaps Mr. Van Ens would better serve the readers of the Vail Daily if his by line identified him as a leftwinger rather than a man of the cloth. I find his continuous Republican bashing very disturbing.
In my religious upbringing, men of the cloth looked for ways to bring people together, not tear down those they disagreed with. In fact, I never could determine who the men of the cloth that I looked up to disagreed with.
Jack, I am almost finished with Mitt Romney's "No Apology," and unless there are two versions, you are reading with a very jaundiced eye. In virtually every passage I have read thus far, Mitt talks about how he worked with other politicians and government officials of all stripes when he was governor of Massachusetts.
Oh, and for you to suggest that the Mormon Church "accents" a "can-do, take charge, get out of my way so I can succeed" spirit is an insult to the Presbyterian ministry. Really!
I can only imagine Mitt's response to your suggestion that he sees Donald Trump as a role model. Really!
Mitt's track record as a "take charge, get things done" leader so far surpasses our president's record that it isn't even worth discussing.
I'm no big fan of the way in which all our politicians conduct themselves. That said, what we really need in our next president is a leader with a track record of success rather than someone whose only notable accomplishment in the past three-plus years is burying us in a mountain of additional debt.
I'll vote for track record all day long.
Mike Kieler
Layman for commissioner
Jeff Layman has long experience in public service in Eagle County. As a leader in law enforcement and lately as general manager of a metro district, he has served his community well in good times and in bad.
He is a leader who has a proven track record of being able to achieve consensus among many different faction on a wide variety of issues. It is this ability that will make him an outstanding commissioner for Eagle County.
The twin challenges facing county government for the next few years will be balancing the needs for essential services with the specter of a seemingly ever-falling revenue streams.
In the past, Jeff has managed both budgets and personnel in tight economic times and is well positioned to do so in the future. He will represent the views of the entire community in the tough decisions to come.

Fire district needs funds
We are seeking citizen help and support.
The Citizens Campaign for 5A group supports the Eagle River Fire Protection District's 3.77 mill levy, which is on the ballot for this November's election.
As you are aware, Eagle River Fire has experienced a severe revenue decrease due to recent unprecedented drops in property values in Eagle County, with another 20 percent decrease projected. The district receives 90 percent of its revenue from property taxes.
In response to the decrease, the district has: cut 70 percent of its administrative staff; implemented rolling station closures; deferred critical equipment purchases (including apparatus necessary to fight a large-scale wildfire in our area); used funds from critical reserves for operations, but still must close stations.
Your local fire station is not staffed 24/7 at this time. If the mill levy does not pass, two stations in the district's service area will permanently close in 2014.
Voting yes for 5A will: ensure your local fire station is staffed 24/7; ensure your insurance costs don't increase due to lack of nearby fire protection; ensure the district can purchase critical equipment to effectively respond to a large-scale event, including a wildfire; ensure your family, your home, and your community are protected.
The Citizens Campaign for 5A would appreciate your time and/or monetary support to promote this critically important ballot measure.
To donate or to receive more information, please call 970-306-7444, email us firstname.lastname@example.com or visit http://www.erfpdvoteyes.com.

Ryan for commissioner
In this election season, we are inundated with information all about candidates and what they are going to do to change our world and make it so much better, as if your next breath after the election might rely upon it.
These politicians spew out numbers loosely to sway you, throw out somewhat skewed information as if it were fact, and we absorb it all hoping to make the right choices for our lives and our families.
So, really? I would not be writing this letter unless it really meant something to me and I felt strongly enough to share it.
Jill Ryan is not a spewer. She is an information gatherer and a thoughtful leader already. She worked for the county for five years, leading the public health agency. Before that, she directed two programs at the state health department.
She has a lot of managerial experience. Her style is one of collaboration and partnership. She is a member of the Eagle County Planning Commission and is well practiced in truly caring about the future of this amazing place where we live.
She is conservation-minded, but is compassionate about the future of Eagle County and moving forward thoughtfully, making the best choices for our quality of life within Colorado.
Jill cares deeply about long-term river health and believes strongly in open space and the advantages of public access to the pristine beauty that surrounds us. She is aware of the economic advantage that it brings to our area.
Last spring Jill met with the Watershed Council, not to campaign, but to learn. She asked thoughtful questions, took notes and has since volunteered with a shovel on the river. She has met with numerous other non-profits and groups to learn about the issues of importance that affect the lifestyle that we live here for.
A vote for Jill Ryan would be a thoughtful vote that will positively impact our county.
Elena Jones
Bruce Brown for DA
I have been practicing criminal law since 1979, and have been a prosecutor and a defense attorney. My cases have ranged from minor traffic matters to death penalty cases.
The philosophy and leadership of the district attorney's office is critical in the criminal justice system.
Eagle County has an election for district attorney this year. I know both gentleman running for this position. If you are happy with the district attorney's office now, and are happy with the leadership of that office over the past nine years, then you will want to vote for Scott Turner, Mark Hurlbert's assistant.
If you want fresh and enlightened leadership in the DA's office, you should vote for Bruce Brown.
It's time for a change. Please vote for Bruce Brown for District Attorney.
Joe Kirwan
Layman for commissioner
For over 30 years in Eagle County, Jeff Layman has demonstrated the ability to work with a wide range of opinions and arrive at solutions.
His educational, budgetary and professional accomplishments will be of a particular benefit as a county commissioner. Jeff knows the people and economic needs of Eagle County due to extensive community involvement in key positions.
Jeff is what Eagle County needs now, a proven problem solver throughout his career, the person who can represent all of us on the Board of County Commissioners.
Lyn Morgan
Open space is important
To my surprise, the $4 million open space tax seems to be the main item of contention in the 2012 county commissioners race. As it is such a small part of the $84 million county budget, far, far less than law enforcement, roads and bridges, health and social services , for instance, and is not even a discretionary expense for commissioners but one provided for by statute, I am amazed.
Do some voters fail to understand how much bang we get for those bucks?
Personally, I am careful in my own spending, looking for ways to cut expenses while being generous with friends and family. I don't own a smart phone and have only an expanded basic cable service, for example.
Therefore I do not regard the amount of open space tax I pay as trivial. I am, however, happy to pay this one, as I get so much from it, as do most Eagle County citizens.
I hike and watch wildlife on many of the parcels, especially enjoy recently increased river access, and always see many, many members of the public doing the same. I believe it increases my and others' quality of life in this county, as well as enhancing our property values. Why would we then want to repeal this statute?
Furthermore, it makes little sense for the local economy. In recent years $89 million in GOCO and other partners' funding has flowed into Eagle County and its economy as match of our local tax contributions. This has produced recently an extension of the Miller Ranch park and open space along the river, boat access areas where few had existed on the Colorado and elsewhere, protection for special places like Pitkin Falls off Lupine in East Vail, and most recently working with Homestead homeowners a large linkage of public and private lands in a heavily populated part of the valley. And the actual list is much longer. Without local seed dollars from the open space tax, these projects would not have happened.
The personal and community benefits leveraged by this tax make it more than short-sided to eliminate it. It would be cutting off our nose to spite our face. Even risking its loss by allowing a vote on it at a time when many are embittered about all government and taxation would be foolish.
This community recently voted down tax issue for local schools and fire protection. Let's get some distance on the Great Recession before we look at cutting or sunsetting the open space tax.
Anne Esson
Layman for commissioner
With great pleasure I offer my enthusiastic endorsement of Jeff Layman as Eagle County commissioner, District 1. I have known Jeff for over 20 years, and he has always been a consummate professional, clear thinker, one who listens, and an individual who gathers the facts before making a decision. I'm extremely confident his decisions will always be best for Eagle County.
As a Vail policeman, police chief in Avon, Eagle County undersheriff, and now as the community manager for Eagle-Vail, Jeff has proven to be a facilitator of ideas, always working to bring people together for a common cause. I believe these skills will make Jeff an excellent Eagle County commissioner.
Jeff possesses high moral character, is a devoted husband and father, and is a caring and compassionate individual who has served on many different boards and has always made a positive impact. His willingness to serve as Eagle County commissioner will be of great benefit to all county residents.
Ken Wilson
Priorities in line
Recently, the Vail Daily raised the question of whether we are placing a priority on open space over education and the school district. I would like to point out that Eagle County taxpayers spend $64.8 million annually in taxes for our school district, compared to just $4 million annually in taxes for our open space program.
That's $64.8 million for schools versus $4 million for open space.
Obviously, we do not have our priorities wrong. We spend 16 times more tax money on schools and education than we spend on open space.
I agree that we need to give very high priority to our schools, and that educating our kids is the No. 1 number one issue. I am very glad that we place a value on local education to the tune of $64.8 million.
However, there are also other priorities in Eagle County, and one of those is to provide the people of our community with open space protections and local conservation programs so that we save and protect the mountain landscapes, the alpine rivers and the unique wildlife habitats that make Eagle County special and fuel our tourism-based economy.
I don't think spending one-sixteenth the amount on open space that we do on education and schools means that we have misplaced our priorities. The people of Eagle County deserve great schools, and we deserve open land and accessible rivers to view and enjoy. I'm glad that we live in a community that provides funding to both programs in proportion to the priorities we place.
Remember these numbers: $64.8 million for schools versus $4 million for open space. Let's work together to have the best schools and the best open space programs to complement what we already have — the best county, the best ski resorts and the best community in the state of Colorado and the world. Yes to schools, and yes to open space. We can and should have them both!

Fiat CEO sees 50 pct chance of Chrysler IPO, prefers buyout
KOKOMO, Indiana - Sergio Marchionne, the chief executive of both Fiat and its majority-owned Chrysler Group LLC unit, said he sees a 50 percent chance that Chrysler will go public but would prefer that it be fully merged with Fiat.
Fiat shares ownership in the smallest U.S. automaker with a retiree trust fund affiliated with the United Auto Workers labor union. Marchionne said he would prefer that Italian automaker Fiat buy the trust fund's holdings.
"My preference is to be one single company," Marchionne told reporters in Kokomo, Indiana, on Thursday. "We belong together."
Over the last four years, the two automakers have been blending their operations as Fiat has increased its stake in Chrysler, said Marchionne, who has been CEO of both companies since Chrysler emerged from bankruptcy in 2009.
Fiat, however, has been odds with the trust fund over Chrysler's worth. The fund is under pressure to squeeze as much value as possible from its Chrysler holding to pay for medical benefits.
Marchionne was speaking at a plant in Kokomo, Indiana, where Chrysler announced it would invest $374 million in four Indiana plants to support production of its more fuel-efficient eight- and nine-speed transmissions by the end of the year.
The move will create up to 1,250 jobs in Indiana, including as many as 850 jobs at the company's new Tipton Transmission Plant, Chrysler said on Thursday. Chrysler is spending $162 million to make a nine-speed transmission at Tipton. Production at Tipton is expected to start in the first quarter of 2014.
About $212 million will be invested in the Kokomo Transmission, Kokomo Casting and Indiana Transmission I plants to make the eight- and nine-speed transmissions. The money will be used to install additional tooling and equipment needed to make Chrysler's eight- and nine-speed transmissions by the fourth quarter of 2013.

DR. KATZ: Perils of ping-pong science
ACCORDING to a recent New York Times op-ed by Paul Campos, a law professor at the University of Colorado, our "fear" of fat -- namely epidemic obesity -- is, in a word, absurd.
Campos, the author of "The Obesity Myth," who has established something of a cottage industry contending that the fuss we make about epidemic obesity is all some government-manufactured conspiracy theory, or a confabulation serving the interests of the weight loss-pharmaceutical complex, was reacting to a meta-analysis, published last week in JAMA, indicating that mortality rates go up as obesity gets severe, but that mild obesity and overweight are actually associated with lower overall mortality than so-called "healthy" weight.
This study -- debunked for important deficiencies by many leading scientists around the country, and with important limitations acknowledged by its own authors -- was treated by Campos as if it was a third tablet on the summit of Mount Sinai.
Treating science like a Ping-Pong ball is what is absurd. It's also scary, as is the obesity epidemic.
As for the meta-analysis, a study designed to pool the results of other studies, the first, obvious limitation is that it examined mortality (death) but not morbidity (illness).
The Global Burden of Disease Study, recently published in The Lancet and sponsored by the World Health Organization, the World Bank, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is widely acknowledged as one of the most comprehensive epidemiologic assessments in history.
What it shows, among countries around the world, is that we are living longer, but sicker -- and that obesity is one of the important reasons for the latter.
Thanks to the cutting edge of biomedical advance, we can often forestall death; but high- tech medicine is not remotely as useful for cultivating health and vitality.
When people get sick, they generally lose weight. The new study was in no way adjusted to exclude from the analysis people who were thin because they were sick. We have long had evidence that among older people, hanging on to weight is associated with better outcomes than losing weight. There is, as well, an enormous difference between being lean because of eating well and being physically active, and being lean because of anorexia nervosa or routine cocaine use.
The meta-analysis was blind to any such distinctions.
And there is the fact that while overall obesity rates in the U.S. are showing signs of stabilizing, the rate of severe obesity -- the very variety even this meta-analysis associates with a 30 percent or more increase in mortality risk-- is "skyrocketing."
The evidence that obesity is genuinely harmful much (though certainly not all) of the time is both vast, and incontrovertible.
As noted, the Global Burden of Disease report indicates that mortality is not the real menace -- it's morbidity.
Obesity is consistently, powerfully associated with the risk of chronic disease. When I was in medical school, we learned about "adult onset" diabetes. That is now called "type 2" diabetes because it occurs routinely in kids as well. It occurs routinely in kids because of epidemic childhood obesity.
The Centers for Disease Control is projecting that by mid-century, up to 1 in 3 Americans will be diabetic, due almost entirely to epidemic obesity. The trend is already well under way.
For those doubting, as Campos seems to, that obesity is the cause of all this diabetes and chronic disease, there is the Diabetes Prevention Program, which demonstrates that a 7 percent loss in body weight produces a 58 percent reduction in the development of diabetes among high-risk adults.
Studies spanning 20 years show a decisive association between healthful lifestyle practices, with resulting weight control, and a dramatic reduction in both chronic morbidity and premature mortality.
Unlike Campos, who is a lawyer, I am a doctor. I take care of patients, including those wrestling with weight control. Over 20 years, I have seen the changes in health and vitality when people who are obese become lean through the application of sensible and sustainable lifestyle practices.
The new meta-analysis may suggest that the range of "normal" for weight could be expanded, although it by no means proves it. But at the population level, epidemic obesity is decisively established as a clear and all-but-omnipresent danger. It is absurd to suggest otherwise.
And it's those who do so, who play Ping-Pong with science because of misguided bias or motivated self-interest -- who threaten to forestall the societal action needed to turn this toxic tide. I find that pretty scary.

I wanted to mention that other members have emailed me and stated that they see their banner gone as well.
please help me.
Do you see a broken image with an x ?
I see all of them including yours.
Are you running any kind of ad blocker? I have had other people look and they can see all the images as well.
Hi Leah,Originally Posted by childcare
I took a look at this for you with both Internet Explorer, and Firefox and do not see 80% of images missing. I see at most five or six out of 250 sites, but those are explained by incorrect image urls being used for those sites, or the sites not being available any more.
If you use Firefox, you can right-click on the image and click on "View Image" on the ones that are broken. There is no corresponding functionality in Internet Explorer unfortunately.
The other thing I noticed is that some of the sites that are hosting their own images are slow to load their pictures.
Some of the sites don't even load.
I hope this helps,
- Tim
My site banner also disapeared and my site loads fine and my banner is correct.

Utah Ranked #1 Pro-Business State for 2013
July 16, 2013
SALT LAKE CITY – Independent research by Pollina Corporate Real Estate puts Utah at the top of its list of Ten Pro Business States for 2013.
"Pollina's #1 ranking comes as no surprise," said Governor Gary R. Herbert. "Utah is open and ready for business. Taxes are low, entrepreneurial spirit is high, and our skilled work force is educated and highly motivated."
Brent Pollina, Vice President of Park Ridge, Illinois-based Pollina Corporate Real Estate and co-author of the 2013 study, said, "America's most pro-business state for the second consecutive year and again making it the brightest star on the American Flag. Utah is a symbol of economic growth and prosperity that other states should emulate."
In 2011, Governor Herbert initiated a review of the State's then 1,969 administrative rules. It resulted in the revision or elimination of some 368 rules that inhibited business growth. The Governor challenged the Utah business community to create 100,000 jobs in 1,000 days. At the half way mark, Utah has created 63,600 jobs and the unemployment rate of 4.6 percent is far below the national average. Jobs are growing jobs at 2.6 percent, nearly twice the national rate.
The Pollina Top 10 study is considered a "Gold Standard" for evaluating states. The research identifies states with exemplary pro-business policies that counteract the effects of economic instability. The authors of the study point to Utah as a guidepost, not only for other state governments, but also for the federal government.
According to the report's co-author, Utah is the first state west of the Mississippi to rank #1, affirming the Beehive State's role as a regional leader at the "Crossroads of the West" in several key areas of economic development, innovation and entrepreneurship.
"Utah first broke into Pollina's Top Ten study several years ago. Governor Herbert's leadership has fostered the success that has elevated Utah to its #1 ranking," said Spencer Eccles, executive director of the Governor's Office of Economic Development. "Utah maintains strong public-private collaboration, budgetary discipline and a commitment to an ongoing talent pipeline."
The Pollina Corporate annual study was co-published with the American Economic Development Institute. The comprehensive report analyzes a state's pro-business environment across 32 individual measures that state governments control, including taxation, human resources, economic incentive programs and state economic development efforts.
Specific measures that helped determine Utah's top ranking included right-to-work legislation, business tax structures, energy costs and educational attainment rates.

GENEVA - Reflecting signs of progress at ongoing Iran nuclear talks, the country's foreign minister said Wednesday that his country would meet again with six powers within weeks to further discuss ways to ease fears his Iran may want atomic arms. Mohammad Javad Zarif's posted his comments to Facebook as the U.S. and its negotiating partners were sitting with Iran for a closer look at what Tehran is describing as a possible breakthrough deal that could lessen suspicions about its nuclear goals and lead to the easing of sanctions on the Islamic Republic. Iran says it is not interested in getting the bomb. Its proposal Tuesday to the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany focused on their demands that uranium enrichment and other activities that could be used to make nuclear arms be stopped or reduced. No details were made public. But comments from Western officials meeting with Iranian negotiators indicated interest in the proposal, described by Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi as designed to allow Iran to leave the "dark" path of international isolation. Previous rounds have often been fitful and sporadic, reflecting the deadlock between the two sides. Zarif's Facebook comments that negotiations will resume "in a few weeks" strengthened expectations that some progress was being made. He said the follow-up will also be held in Geneva, the venue for the ongoing talks. Zarif said the six powers welcomed Iran's "new approach," and urged reciprocity, calling on the powers to also show a "new attitude." Iran's version of success is for painful international sanctions to be lifted in exchange for possible concessions it had been previously unwilling to consider, such as increased monitoring and scaling back of uranium enrichment - a potential path to nuclear arms and the centerpiece of the impasse with the West. International talks designed to reduce fears that Iran may make such arms have been stalled for most of their 10-year history, with Tehran insisting it has no interest in weapons production, while resisting both enticements and sanctions designed to force it into ending uranium enrichment and other activities that could be used to make weapons. But negotiations appear now to be driven by the new wind generated since reformist President Hassan Rouhani was elected in June. Wednesday's meeting started several hours late, as the six powers discussed further steps among themselves before the talks resumed for a closer look at the proposal. Asked for details beyond broad outlines made public by the Iranians ahead of the talks, a member of one of the delegations at the table said the plan offered reductions in both the levels of uranium enrichment being conducted by Iran and the number of centrifuges doing the enrichment - a key demand of the six powers. An Iranian official said any plan would be implemented in three stages lasting from six months to a year. Both men demanded anonymity because they were not allowed to discuss the confidential plan. Iran's state TV, which closely reflects government views, said Tehran offered to discuss uranium enrichment levels. The report also said Iran proposed adopting the additional protocols of the U.N.'s nuclear treaty - effectively opening its nuclear facilities to wider inspection and monitoring - if the West recognizes Iran's right to enrich uranium. But the Iranian official said any acceptance of the protocols would be one of the last steps in implementing the plan.

Want to Build Your Own Container Home?
I've been receiving a ton of requests for information about floor plans, container specs, renderings, container sales, etc… so I've decided to start a section on the Big Boom Blog dedicated to building spaces with Shipping Containers. As I create and find valuable information that pertains to the ins and outs of building with shipping containers, I'll be posting it here…. actually the container posts will go here.
If you have specific questions about building materials or designs please send me an email through this contact form here.
An Interview with Adam Kalkin – "Father of Container Homes"
Kalkin is considered by many to be the "father" of shipping container homes. In my eyes, he pushes the creativity in the design more than anyone else. His website has a full portfolio of his concepts and creations: http://www.architectureandhygiene.com

Greetings from Shorne Woods! From the 9th to the 31st of July, schools, volunteers, members of the public, local archaeology groups and societies worked on the excavations taking place at Randall Manor. The excavations form part of a wider community archaeology project to investigate the archaeology and history of the Shorne Woods Country Park. On the Day of Archaeology itself we were all hard at work trying to understand the latest in a long line of questions prompted by our excavations. How do the different building phases relate to each other? How many times was the kitchen rebuilt? Do we have a bakehouse, a brewery or even a smokehouse structure in the north east corner of the site? We have been running a daily blog about the dig on our facebook site www.facebook.com/archaeologyinkent and also have a page at www.kent.gov.uk/randallmanor
One of our youngest aspiring photographers on site has also taken a series of shots to reflect a Day in the Life of the Randall Manor Dig and I will be posting these on facebook shortly…
The manor site was occupied from the 12th century through to the early 16th century, with our pottery assemblage and historical research in agreement over the main period of occupation. The manor was home to a branch of the de Cobham family, who lived at the site from c.1250-1360. We have what we believe to be a large timber hall, it's northern end rebuilt in stone, with an additional building containing a garderobe then built onto the main building. Detached from it all is a kitchen building with successive tile and then stone hearths.
Elsewhere within the Park we have a large scatter of mesolithic waste flakes, an RAF and Army Camp and the remains of a twentieth century clayworks. LiDAR has revealed an extensive collection of earthworks relating to all periods of the Park's past, that we still need to groundtruth!

Patti Smith is a genre-shaping punk rocker, poet and visual artist. She can now add award-winning writer to her list of accolades.
Smith, best known for her 1975 album "Horses" and a famous cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Because the Night," was awarded the National Book Award for nonfiction on the strength of her memoir, Just Kids, reports the New York Times.
The book focuses on Smith's time in New York City in the 1960s and 70s and her relationship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe.
U.S. & World
"I dreamed of having a book of my own, of writing one that I could put on a shelf," she said upon accepting the award at the 61st annual awards at Cipriani Wall Street in Manhattan. "Please, no matter how we advance technologically, please don't abandon the book. There is nothing in our material world more beautiful than the book."
In a notable omission, Jonathan Franzen's critically acclaimed "Freedom" was not nominated.
Other winners included Tom Wolfe who received the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters and Jaimy Gordon who won in the fiction category for "Lord of Misrule."
The winners received a $10,000 check and a bronze statue. The awards were hosted by writer and comedian Andy Borowitz.

What desktop processors are AMD planning to release during the final three months of the year? A leaked roadmap slide reveals all. And its first 'Deneb' desktops will debut in January 2009.
The slide, sent to Spanish-language site ChileHardware, highlights 8 October as the next entry on AMD's calendar. On that day it'll launch the 2.5GHz, 95W Phenom X3 8850 and the 2.6GHz, 45W Athlon X2 5050e.
The following month, we'll see the arrival of the 1.6GHz Athlon 2650, a chip that consumes a mere 15W, though it's only a single core part. However, it'll be accompanied by the dual-core Athlon X2 3250e, a 1.5GHz chip that consumes up to 22W.
December will see the launch of a second, clock-unlocked version of the Phenon X3 8850.
AMD's 'Deneb' core: launching in January 2009
The December section of the roadmap also lists a pair of quad-core Phenom X4s, one clocked at 3GHz, the other at 2.8GHz. Neither has a model number, but they're Deneb 45nm chips said to be "under embargo until Jan 8th".
That's the second day of next year's Consumer Electronics Show, so AMD's clearly out to make a big splash at the show with its first so-called 'Stars' desktop CPUs, both 125W beasts, despite the shift to the 45nm process.
So while Deneb will launch next January, AMD seems to be gearing up to get them out the door before the end of 2008, allowing it to rightfully claim the part shipped in H2 2008, as it promised in March this year.
The roadmap also refers to a November release for "AMD Ultra-Value Client (UVC)" processors. These are almost certainly Geode parts, suggesting AMD's preparing to tackle Intel's desktop Atom processors in the 'nettop' market.

The upside to that, of course, is no football and the 35th anniversary Blu-Ray copy of John Carpenter's Halloween!

Some of the best opportunities for contributing to astronomical research come through the AAVSO's Observing Campaigns, which are observing projects requested by individual researchers with a specific goal in mind. Some Campaigns are designed to last for a long time, and the results aren't known until well after the campaign concludes. But some campaigns pay off immediately. Our campaign on the bright star b Persei is an example of the latter, with a handful of AAVSO observers getting exactly the right data, at the right time, right away!
January 12, 2015: Photometry by P. Benni (AAVSO observer code BPAD; Massachusetts, United States), D. Collins (CDK; North Carolina, United States), F. Campos (CFRA; Catalunya, Spain), and F. Melillo (MFR; New York, United States) suggest that b Persei may have entered eclipse around JD 2457033.6 (2015 January 11.1 UT). Time-series photometric observations of this bright star are urgently requested beginning immediately, and continuing for the next two weeks (through at least 2015 January 26 UT) and possibly beyond.
