Update: Thursday, Nov. 8, comments from Roger Wykle.
There will be a couple new faces on the Moraga Town Council, including that of Roger N. Wykle, the top vote-getter in Tuesday's election.
Wykle with 3,599 votes finished more than 500 votes ahead of the second-place finisher, incumbent (Mayor) Mike Metcalf. Finishing third and gaining a seat was Phillip Arth with 2,986 votes. Finishing out of the running was incumbent Karen Mendonca with 2,235 and Seth Freeman with 1,898.
Wykle comments
"Overall, it was a very positive experience," said Wykle in a telephone interview Thursday about his first occasion of seeking elective office. "I definitely had a great team of supporters and campaign committee. There were a lot of moving parts."
Wykle had an Election Night get-together for supporters. The first returns came in at 8:30 with a handful of precincts counted. "As the engineer, I was saying, 'Hang on,'" said Wykle.
Asked at what point he felt his message was getting through to voters, Wykle chuckled and answered that was at 11:35 p.m. Election Night. Then, nine of nine Moraga precincts were reporting. It was clear Wykle was the top vote-getter.
Wykle in campaign appearances advocated the preservation of open space in Moraga through upholding and defending the town's general plan. He has served on the planning commission for nearly three years.
Wykle and fellow newcomer Phil Arth are due to take office at a meeting on Wednesday, Dec 12.
Contra Costa County's number-crunching elections website shows that Wykle led in eight of nine precincts — finishing second in the smallest precinct with 27 total votes in Precinct 9739 (I think it's a precinct for absentee ballots, but I was unable to confirm that). See chart that accompanies story.
Wykle, a retired Coast Guard commander, serves on the Moraga Planning Commission.
In the goals on his campaign website, Wykle says he will:
- Preserve Moraga's open space, ridgelines and semi-rural character.
- Exercise fiscal responsibility.
- Support our schools and youth/recreational programs, and strengthen cooperation between the Town, the School District, and Saint Mary's College.
- Act to revitalize Moraga Center and support locally owned businesses.
- Encourage and listen to public input.
- Strengthen our General Plan to better reflect community priorities.
Arth, a member of the town's Audit and Finance Committee, cites his decades-long experience as a Certified Public Accountant in bringing heightened fiscal discipline and awareness to the town council. he advocates arriving at a financial consensus to improve town roads — a goal that got a boost Tuesday with the voters' approval with a 70.07 percent yes vote of Measure K, a 1 percent sales tax targeted for town roads.
"I don't think I ever had a time when I felt confident I had the votes," Arth wrote in an email. "The competition was impressive, and I was just dedicated to seeing the process to a conclusion that represented by best effort."
Mendonca statement
Mendonca encountered a local campaign targeting her as an individual, citing her positions on the Rancho Laguna Park issue. It included lawn signs and a StopMendonca website.
In an email Wednesday, Mendonca stated: "Although the weeks preceding the election were most disconcerting as to their constant and targeted negativity, I did not think that most Moraga citizens would be deceived by this approach. When I saw the first set of preliminary returns last evening, I knew that my assessment was incorrect and that the very personal and targeted visual and verbal assaults had taken the ultimate toll on this re-election campaign effort."

High prices and low supplies of the gas "helium" have deflated business for some local party stores.
Three major overseas helium suppliers have been off-line due to maintenance issues. The slow down has depleted supplies available for the balloon business.
A government plan for much needed equipment repairs in a U.S. facility should have supplies "sky high" by November, just in time for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The Edmond Sun
An infrastructure improvement plan to maintain the state Capitol and better utilize other state-owned buildings was signed into law Tuesday by Gov. Mary Fallin.
House Bill 1910 by House Speaker T.W. Shannon and Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman would liquidate underutilized assets, while also funding and repairing vital assets to the state, Shannon said.
The Long-Range Capital Planning Commission will first address the repair of the state Capitol, and later develop an eight-year plan to address other infrastructure, repair and maintenance issues, according to Fallin's office.
"It's important we maintain and improve state assets, rather than watching them deteriorate," Fallin said. "House Bill 1910 puts us on a path to ensure state infrastructure and buildings like the Oklahoma Capitol are well-maintained and cared for."
Shannon said the Legislature is committed to becoming better stewards of the people's buildings and the taxpayers' money.
State officials will continue to be required to study and identify underutilized properties each year.
Fallin agreed with legislative leaders last week on a $7.2 billion budget for Fiscal Year 2014. The budget blueprint targets funding increases to education and health, child welfare and state infrastructure.
The budget deal includes $30 million for the State Buildings Revolving Fund and $60 million for repairs and renovation of the State Capitol.
The measure passed May 1 in the House of Representatives 74-23. All members of Edmond's delegation voted for the measure, including Rep. Marian Cooksey, Rep. Randy Grau, Rep. Randy McDaniel, Rep. Lewis Moore, Rep. Jason Murphey and Rep. Mike Turner. It passed the Senate on a 42-3 vote April 24 with all four Edmond-area senators voting yes on the measure. Those senators are Sen. Clark Jolley, R-Edmond, Sen. Greg Treat, R-Edmond, Sen. Rob Johnson, R-Kingfisher, and Sen. A.J. Griffin, R-Guthrie.

EYA, the developer of a new townhome community near Little Falls Parkway, has opened a downtown Bethesda sales center and is pricing the "luxury" units from $1.37 million.
In a news release last month, developers described the planned 30-townhome community, dubbed Little Falls Place, as "modern" and "urban" with "walls of glass to capture the scenic views of the parkland and Capital Crescent Trail."
The development is being touted as a wooded enclave with the added amenities of nearby downtown Bethesda and Friendship Heights.
According to the community's website, which reveals new design details, pricing begins at $1,375,000 for "The Berkeley," a 2,430 square-foot townhome with three bedrooms, two and a half to three and a half bathrooms, and a two-car garage.
Little Falls Place will include "expansive outdoor spaces" complete with rear yards, balconies, and rooftop terraces with outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, according to developers.
The Berkeley units will boast 1,130–1,325 square feet of outdoor space, according to the website.
Slightly larger, "The Carlton" units also feature three bedrooms and a two-car garage, but will include a library, 2,635 square feet of interior space and 1,200–1,265 square feet of exterior space.
Pricing for those units begins at $1,425,000, according to the site.
Twenty-five of the units will be "luxury townhomes" with two-car garages, along with five moderately-priced units with one-car garages.
"What we've envisioned for Little Falls Place is a rare blend of vibrant city living in a peaceful, relaxing setting," said Bob Youngentob, EYA president and co-founder. "There aren't many places in Washington where you can achieve this level of access to world class shopping and dining, yet enjoy acres of nature preserves and onsite trail access."
According to the site, the homes are set to be built with "a mid-century modern architectural style with materials selected to bring the outdoors in, such as quartzite stone veneers, decorative steel railings and floor-to-ceiling aluminum clad windows."
Visit the community's website for more information.

HOUSTON -- Michele Frietsch, a mother of two, has a story she feels very strongly about sharing.
"It touched me," Frietsch said. "It was one of those moments when you're overwhelmed as a mom, and you're panicked. And somebody does something nice for you.
The story begins at a Kroger in Katy. It was the Monday after Thanksgiving, and the fridge was bare. Frietsch and her children drove 20 minutes to the store and began shopping for groceries. When she went to check out an hour and a half later, she discovered she had no wallet.
"So there's the I have no card and no money panic," Frietsch said. "And then there's the I have a cart full of groceries panic. Now what am I supposed to do?"
Then something remarkable happened.
"This woman just comes up and asks if she can swipe her card for me," Frietsch said.
Now we're not just talking about a carton of milk or some eggs. We're talking about $130 worth of groceries and the mystery woman refused to give her name.
"She said don't worry about it. You have your kids here. Your cart's full. Just go home, enjoy the holidays and do it for someone else," Frietsch said.
In other words, pay it forward, which Frietsch fully intends to do.
"If you can just show a little kindness, no matter who it is, I think it eventually works its way around, and that just makes everything better," Frietsch said.
If you would like to do something to Pay It Forward to someone in need or if you have a need with which you could use some help, please click here for more information.

David and I decided to take advantage of the Glacier Point Road being open this late in the season to photograph the sunrise with Half Dome. I'd recently posted to Google+ a collage I'd made with David's cast off photographs and trial prints of my giclees. A fellow photographer on Google+, Vincent Goetz, offered his cast off photographs for collage use as well. He decided to be at Glacier Point for sunrise also.
Raven Collage
The three of us were disappointed there wasn't a cloud in the sky at sunrise so our next stop was Bridalveil Creek on Glacier Point Road. The creek was frozen solid and the temperature was 19 degrees. Even the ravens looked cold. They were walking half squatted as if trying to keep their legs warm.
Boring sunrise.
Raven huddled on a branch.
Breakfast at the Ahwahnee was next on our stop. Vince was driving ahead of us in his truck. In the valley he came to a stop by the chapel so a bobcat could cross the road in front of him. None of us had seen a bobcat in Yosemite before. It was very healthy looking.
Bobcat in the Chapel parking lot.
Our other photography interest was the late afternoon moonrise. We wanted to be in the Tuolumne Meadow/Tioga Pass area. As we left the valley after breakfast, we stopped at Bridalveil Creek along the main road in the valley. David was interested in ice pictures, then we headed for 120. Though it was a sunny day, at 12:30 it was 35 degrees.
Tioga Pass is now open the latest in the season on record, which gives us a chance to explore the area in winter. We stopped at Tenaya Lake which is frozen solid and had lots of people on the ice engaged in various activities. There were ice skaters, ice hockey players, lots of people playing and a few with picnic tables set up on the ice. It was really creepy to stand on the shore and listen to the ice making lots of weird and distressing sounds. You could see the ice move as well. I decided not to walk around on it.
Tenaya Lake.
Around 3pm we stopped at a pull out near the Tioga Pass gate. We had an hour before the moon rise. The wind was bitter cold. We could photograph while we waited or we could drive down to Lee Vining and have a meal. We chose the latter.
Ellery Lake, elevation 9538 ft, taken through the window as we drove by. I really liked the long shadows on the surface of the ice.
Mono Lake was a gorgeous deep dark blue as we dropped down the grade. I wish I'd gotten a picture of the lake….and of the moon rising over it. By the time we'd finished our meal the moon had risen quite a bit. We dashed back up the grade and found a pull out to photograph the moon. It was so cold with a blasting frigid arctic wind.
The colors of the meadow were stunning.
The view behind me, which Vince suggested I turn around and see. It must have been a beautiful sunset at Tenaya Lake and Olmstead Point.
My last picture of the day, and my favorite. Perhaps I was still shivering as I took this through the windscreen. It's very Bill Neill-ish without even trying, a happy mistake.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Not long after the temperature dipped and a steady rain began to fall, Sunday's Frontier League showdown with Florence got away from the Traverse City Beach Bums.
It's also about the time that Florence third baseman Jacob Tanis began to heat up.
Tanis slugged two home runs, had six RBIs and scored three times, spearheading a burst of nine runs over the final four innings as the Freedom took down Traverse City 10-4 at Wuerfel Park in the first of three games between the top two teams in the East Division.
"It was a nice team effort. We had a lot of guys on base today. We had a lot of big hits and great pitching," said Tanis. "The two top teams in the league going at it. We really came together offensively and defensively, so it was a great team win for all of us."
The Beach Bums were leading 2-1 when things went south, starting with an infield single by Alijay Davis and followed two batters later by Tanis' first homer — a two-run blast with two outs that put Florence ahead for the first time.
Traverse City went back in front in the bottom of the sixth as Chase Burch and Carlo Testa slugged back-to-back solo shots, but that lead lasted only until the top of the seventh when Byron Wiley led off the inning with a solo homer of his own that tied the game 4-4 and got Traverse City starter Scott Dunn pulled from the game. Dunn, who entered the contest with an 11-0 record, was looking to set the franchise record for career wins but ended up with his second no-decision of the season. In six innings Dunn allowed four runs on six hits and struck out four.
Matt Miller (0-2) came on for Dunn and ended up getting tagged with the loss when he hit Junior Arroyo with a pitch to start the eighth inning and Arroyo scored the go-ahead run on Jeremy Hamilton's RBI single. The Freedom plated five more insurance runs off Beach Bums reliever Burny Mitchem in the ninth, four coming on Tanis' two-out grand slam. Two walks and a hit batter loaded the bases and set the table for Tanis to add to his team-leading 47 RBIs — good for third in the Frontier League.
Steve Matre (2-0) only pitched one-third of an inning, but ended up getting the win for Florence. Matre came on in relief of Jason Wilson, who gave up two runs in the first three innings, but settled down and retired eight batters in a row at one point. Wilson allowed seven hits, four runs and struck out four.
Three of the Beach Bums' runs came via the long ball as Scott Woodward hit his first homer of the year in the third. Burch drove in Traverse City's other run, knocking home Jose Vargas with a two-out single in the first.
"Unfortunately it didn't go the way we wanted it to," said Burch. "That's how it goes sometimes. We didn't pound the zone and they took advantage."
The loss trimmed Traverse City's lead to two games heading into Monday's contest.
"It means a lot," said Tanis. "We just wanted to try and come out here and make a statement, get this first game and get back on a roll. We've been up and down a bit since the start of the second half. It was nice to get this one."
Burch agreed that the series is important, though he didn't place any special significance on the three games that started this week's six-game homestand.
"Every series is really big, especially when guys are battling with us for first place," he said. "Every one from here on out is going to be huge. We've got to try and win every one of them."
Johnny Omahen will take the mound for Traverse City (37-24) in tonight's game. Chuck Weaver is the scheduled starter for Florence (35-26).

I love the new horror shorts too, for the longest time they virtually did away with their horror shorts and now I see that they're uploading a new one every monday.
Personally I'm fond of the stuff FEWDIO puts out there, they seem to have a pretty broad spectrum of appeal, a little violence, a little gore, a little humor, and yet they still manage to provide suspense which is what I like to see from a short film.
Can you guys give my firstmozz on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 - 6:00pm
Can you guys give my first horror short a watch its called "Seven Minutes"
I would love to know what you thought of it :)

Career talk for women
To test your mental acuity, answer the following questions (no peeking at the answers!):
1. Johnny's mother had three children. The first child was named April. The second child was named May. What was the third child's name?
2. A clerk at a butcher shop stands five feet ten inches tall and wears size 13 sneakers. What does he weigh?
3. Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain in the world?
4. How much dirt is there in a hole that measures two feet by three feet by four feet?
5. What word in the English language is always spelled incorrectly?
6. Billie was born on December 28th, yet her birthday always falls in the summer. How is this possible?
7. In British Columbia you cannot take a picture of a man with a wooden leg. Why not?
8. If you were running a race and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now?
9. Which is correct to say, "The yolk of the egg is white" or "The yolk of the egg are white?"
10. A farmer has five haystacks in one field and four haystacks in another. How many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in one field?
1. Johnny.
2. Meat.
3. Mt. Everest. It just wasn't discovered yet.
4. There is no dirt in a hole.
5. Incorrectly (except when it is spelled incorrecktly).
6. Billie lives in the southern hemisphere.
7. You can't take a picture with a wooden leg. You need a camera (or iPad or cell phone) to take a picture.
8. You would be in 2nd place. You passed the person in second place, not first.
9. Neither. Egg yolks are yellow.
10. One. If he combines all his haystacks, they all become one big stack.
Okay, some of these are a bit corny. But they all illustrate several brain idiosyncrasies that affect how we make decisions in the world.
Thanks to the way our brain works, we have a very strong tendency to see what we want to see and what we expect to see. This has huge implications when studying our customers, markets, competitors, and other data that influences key business decisions.
When we only see what we want or expect to see, we miss competitive threats because our brain tells us a threat couldn't possibly come from that direction. We miss opportunities because we only see what has worked in the past rather than what could be. And we miss major market shifts and changes in customer needs that seem obvious in hindsight but are easily overlooked when focusing on what we already know.
Our brain doesn't like information gaps, so we tend to jump at the first answer/solution that looks good rather than take the time to examine all the data. This is especially true in a world where we receive more information every day than we have time to assimilate. Finally, our brains love to see patterns and make connections. This trait serves us well in many ways as we move through the world. But the brain doesn't always get it right.
For example, how did you answer question #1 (be honest)? For most people, the first word that pops into their head is "June," because the brain quickly spots the April/May/June pattern. Upon re-reading the question and analyzing the data, the answer "Johnny" becomes obvious.
And what about the man with the wooden leg? Your answer depends on how you interpret "with." Does it refer to the man with the wooden leg or to the camera? A bit of a trick question, but it clearly illustrates how the language we use shapes the way we look at the world.
Perhaps the best example of how we miss things is the egg yolk question. Everybody knows egg yolks are yellow. But the question's phrasing puts our attention on selecting the correct verb, so we overlook an obvious piece of data and an even more obvious answer.
We can't change how the brain works – at least not yet. Give science another 50 years and who knows what our brains will be doing! For now, we can become more aware of how our brain works, then pause from time to time to consider what we're missing. This includes the data we're unconsciously screening out as well as different sources of data to counterbalance what we expect to see.
Get in the habit of teasing your brain. You'll be amazed at what you end up seeing that you didn't see before.

Training The Brain Of An Entrepreneur
The human brain is so incredibly powerful. Sometimes, it may be a little too powerful. There are so many times where the mind figures out the answer to a question without actually stopping to read the whole question. So many decisions are made automatically without actually getting all the facts. When I developed Brainetics (www.brainetics.com) I worked with kids of all ages and ability levels and while the kids were able to learn how to multiply huge numbers in their head and memorize so much information, as their minds were getting stronger I would occasionally give them a few trick questions to show them that they cannot let their brain work so fast that they are not listening to the question. One of my favorites I used to give kids I work with was: If there are 12 apples and you take away 8 how many do you have. So many kids guess 4 because that is the first thing the mind calculates. But, upon really focusing on the question: If there are 12 apples and YOU take away 8, how many do YOU have? The answer is easy, it is 8. Although you can train your mind to accomplish incredible things, nothing takes the place of focusing and actually knowing what the question is before deciding on the answer.
Mike Byster
As I was going to St. Ives . . .
thanks for your comments and additional brain teaser. The brain is indeed powerful and wonderful and a bit troublesome for us at times!
Its also about learning what type of logic the examiner wants. Somebody who has gone through this test once will be able to score much higher if he were to take a similar test with another set of questions by the same examiner. This is why tutorial classes for facing different kinds of examinations are doing great business.
excellent point Pradip! We recommend a process called pre-thinking or a pre-mortem before any significant initiative or project is launched for exactly the reason you note in your comment. Once you have seen it and know how to pause and think about it a little differently, it is amazing how simple the teasers are. It is when we are running so fast at work that we forget to slow down just a bit to really think!
Fabulous article – a quick quiz, followed by a lucid explanation of how we tend to pay attention to only those points that our brains are used to or that we WANT to see… A must read for all 'i-know-it-alls'
thanks so much Aishwarya. It was fun to put together to illustrate some of the traps we encounter when we run too fast and forget to use our brain effectively!
After long years of working (30 in all), I still end up in the same mess following my thought, instead of analysing the question. Over confidence, I think is the reason.
yes, overconfidence as well as familiarity can be trouble spots for our brain!
Half of these are based on poor grammar, though still not complex. It is not so much a brainteaser as ambiguity caused by poor knowledge of the language and how to construct a proper sentence.
Holly, good job.
Our Brain is enigmatic and not enough research is being conducted in the field to harness the power of the brain. Thanks for the great article and shedding light on the workings of the brain.
I answered all the questions correctly. Why? I understand English, but it is not my first language: I read a bit 'more slowly as I read in Italian. If the questions were in Italian, then I too wrong.

Working After Age 62 Can Affect Social Security Payouts
High earners shouldn't collect early while still working.
Dear Planning to Retire,
I make about $45,000 per year. Should I start drawing Social Security even if I have to give half of it back? I just turned 63. I still am working and will probably work for another two years.
If you collect Social Security and earn a certain amount of money by continuing to work, some and possibly all of your benefits can be withheld. But you don't lose those benefits forever. At your full retirement age—for you it's age 66—your benefits will be recalculated to a higher amount. But, in your case, because you are earning well above the earning test limit, the amount is the same as what you would have earned simply by delaying claiming, according to calculations by Hugo Benitez-Silva, an associate professor of economics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
I asked Hugo Benitez-Silva to help address your Social Security options with some scenarios.
Delay claiming. Benitez-Silva calculated that if you stop working and begin claiming at age 63 and 2 months (assuming you were born June 1, 1945, and claim in July 2008), you will receive $1,003 a month. Continuing to work and waiting until age 66 to collect would net you $1,237 monthly and grow by 8 percent for each year you delay claiming after that up until age 70.
Claim and keep working indefinitely. If you sign up for Social Security and keep earning $45,000 a year, 50 cents of every dollar over $13,560 will be withheld from your check. So, you will effectively not receive any benefits until nearly age 66 unless you stop working or earn less money. The year you reach your full retirement age, a new formula kicks in. From January of that year until your birthday, you can earn up to $36,120 without penalty, above which your Social Security check is reduced by about 33 cents for every dollar earned. And once your birthday passes that year, the earnings limits no longer apply and you will receive $1,237, Benitez-Silva calculated. But that amount won't increase for continuing to work after age 66.
Retire at 65. If you claim now at the $1,003 rate, and retire at age 65, you will receive $1,003 from 65 to 66 and then $1,154 from age 66 on, Benitez-Silva calculated. (The same as if you had originally claimed at 65, except for that lower benefit the first year.) You can check out some other examples here.
"If someone plans to work well above the earnings test limit until after the early retirement age it seems that little is gained from claiming early, and the person might be equally well off by waiting until the age at which she stops working," explains Benitez-Silva. "Of course, that only works if someone thinks they are going to live long, are patient, and have other good sources of income during retirement."
Working also carries other benefits like being able to tuck more money into your IRA or 401(k), keeps you active and engaged, and lets you pay living expenses without dipping into savings until you can claim the higher amounts.
Here's an article about the ways work affects Social Security benefits.

The News & Observers Andrew Kenney opened his recent story on a massive development planned for Chatham County by quoting lawyer and pilot Bob Epting quoting Thomas Wolfe. As he gave an aerial tour of the vast, heavily wooded site, Epting said, Thomas Wolfe said, The forest creeps up on Chapel Hill like a great beast, and you can see what he was talking about.
Now the Chatham County town of Pittsboro is sensing the approach of another enormous presence. Its not a forest of trees. Its a forest of homes.
Developer Tim Smith, backed by funding from SAS co-founder and CEO Jim Goodnight one of the 100 richest people in the world wants to build a mega-development in one of the Triangles last, vast stretches of undeveloped private land. The development, called Chatham Park, would be home to 60,000 people and include 22,000 homes and clusters of corporate campuses, all spread across 7,500 acres.
Smith wants Pittsboro to extend its borders to include Chatham Park, a move that would effectively make the town into a different one. With a current population of about 1,500 families, Pittsboro would be swallowed by the community it took in.
Town divided
The scope of the change has divided the town and moved town officials to delay approval of Chatham Park. Going slow is a wise approach to a proposed change this big, but prolonged delays or rejection of the proposal likely are not options. Smith, the developer behind the well-regarded Wake County golf developments of Preston and Wakefield, knows how to get things built, and he has in Goodnight the funding to find a way. He also has a hefty tax bill to spur him on. Holding on to the $100 million property assemblage is costing $750,000 a year in taxes.
Smiths alternatives to a giant development in Pittsboro include smaller, county-based developments or petitioning the legislature to make the development a town of its own.
The issue for Pittsboro isnt really whether to allow Chatham Park. The issue is how to allow it. The debate should focus on the approval process with an emphasis on shaping Chatham Park into a development that reflects the towns rural heritage and its closeness to the land.
A bold vision
Its fortunate that Smith shares that vision. Chatham Parks master plan calls for development that blends with nature and reduces its carbon footprint through use of solar energy, electric cars and a design that encourages walking. He wants a community thats big, certainly, but also better. He envisions a planned community built on concepts and featuring innovations that developers and planners would come to North Carolina just to see.
While Smith has sketched an appealing vision of a planned community that will grow for decades, there are tough technical issues about expanding Pittsboros utilities and services. There are also issues about public transportation and traffic and the impact of the project on the Haw River and adjacent Jordan Lake, the water supply for 300,000 people.
Pittsboro would be wise to be methodical in listening to its residents concerns about the project and doing all it can to have the plans accommodate those concerns. And Smith would be wise to be patient and to listen. That part of the process appears frayed. Some neighbors feel like their misgivings are being ignored. Pittsboros newly elected Mayor Bill Terry said he understands that Chatham Park could be a community of rare quality, but he said, There are days that I dont feel like were being dealt with as equal partners in the process.
The first part of this development must be developing a strong partnership. Chatham Park should come to Pittsboro as a great asset, not as a great beast.

You can tell these guys come from doing audio but I have to say I liked the random/unrehearsed chat. I'd have to give it a few more episodes though.
I also wonder, as many here do, how this would fit into Rev3's current line-up. We already have TRS which covers most of this stuff.
Twitter - Facebook - Tumblr - The Super Bar - Cloudica
I just want to say it's a little unfair to compare this show that is on it's first episode to the tons of other shows on this site that have been shooting much longer. One episode is not enough time to judge a show...give it time, they will get more comfortable in front of the camera and their show will develop. I liked the show because nothing was really forced...(ok, except for the whole alcohol thing LOL I'll admit that was pretty awkward) it flowed pretty naturally, it wasn't scripted and they weren't trying too hard to make people laugh. Maybe the topic is covered by rev3 too much but that's rev3's problem not BDNS.
The people who aren't happy with the show need to realize shooting something like this isn't easy...it's live and improvised. If you think you could do better than get your own show and let us all know how it goes for you. I, for one, would be petrified to go live on camera and talk about anything even if I know everything there is to know about the subject. Even if I thought about forever what I was going to say, I'd probably just sit there like a deer in headlights lol. Yeah the show wasn't perfect but tearing it apart right off the bat is a bit harsh.
I don't have much else to say besides good job nerds and hope rev3 has you back for more episodes. I hope the negative comments don't discourage you guys just keep doing what you're doing.
Look, I was introduced to this place as a whole by Marc, after he repeatedly hyped up the show and guess what after watching it, I wasn't disappointed. It may sound biased as someone who was already a fan of him, but at the same time I think that would give me a better look into it. I know his style I know what he can do and if he gave it anything less than his best we would know it. Him along with James and the rest of the crew did a great job for their FIRST show and I hope to hell they have more of them. It may not be the greatest thing ever to some people, but it hits a perfect niche that will surely be able to keep the interest of enough people and with Marc on board, it gives the show a huge increase in promotion as those of us who were already fans always help our own and will make sure this show is at least given a chance by a hell of a lot more people
I've been a friend (IRL) of these guys since the early days of their radio show, maybe I can help clear some things up.
BDNS is not supposed to be a review show like TRS, or even specifically a gaming show like Co-Op. It's a group of guys hanging out in the living room for an hour a week, talking about whatever comes up. Trash-talking, girl-chasing, ranting and raving about all the stuff you love and hate.
They used the Co-Op set because that's what was available for no budget.
Although the show has been around on radio and podcast for a few years, not all the old hosts came along to this incarnation, and also it's a whole new behind-the-scenes crew. So it'll take a few episodes to smooth things out. Think of it like Star Trek TNG, pretty lame at the beginning, but then it turned out great once everyone got settled in.
About the Annie thing, she and the guys go way back. There's no way they would have done that bit if she weren't cool with it.
I'm glad Revision3 gave them a chance, and if they get picked up I'll be tuning (logging?) in every week.

As a long time fan of Marc's work on Lexationships on You Tube I had to check out this show. I thought from a rough beginning they did a solid job for their first live show. Certainly enough for me to check out future shows.
Given some of the horrible shows I've seen online I thought this had a lot of potential.
Marc has some excellent previous work on Lexationships and his stand up work and he brought his usual charisma and comic timing to the show.
The other guys on the show have good chemistry and given more experience working on a live show I think they could really bring something to this site.
I watched it and was entertained and that's the main thing.
Looking forward to the next episode.
Hmmm, I dont see why the critiques of this show are labelling followers of the stars of this show as biased. Does that mean if I enjoy certain work of an actor, actress, musician etc., it means I am unable to offer an informed opinion of an objective nature because I have enjoyed their work in the past. Simple analogy...I can sit here and be a fan boy over the original trilogy of Star Wars films and then offer an opinion that The Phantom Menace was an utter pile of pooh.
Furthermore, all opinions need to be respected I believe, but anyone feeling this missed a beat for me personally was way off base. It was fun to watch and look forward to them expanding on this episode. Pilots are there to see if there is any magic to pick up on...not to be wondering whether its going to win the next Golden Globe. If you go back to any hit show whether comedic, dramatic a little from column A or a little from column B, most by the standard of any show are a bit...well...meh. This was far from meh and I usually put this down to people not liking this sort of work as people that feel the need to offer an opinion on the net because well...George Lucas wouldnt care less what they think of the Phantom Menace.
To the cast, keep living the dream, personally I think you are onto something special and pay no attention to forum posting wannabe Siskel and Eberts who cant afford a trip to the Hollywood sign let alone make a decision on its behalf.
Pilot was bland... Star wars is an over-talked about topic.
I don't really connect with any of the hosts. Too geeky... It doesn't bring anything new to the table.
And it's YACS... Yet another couch show on Revision3. I can't help but absolutely hate this show right off the bat.

On Saturday evening, the Perkiomen Valley Marching Vikings headed to Central Bucks South High School for an invitational competition for high school marching bands from around the state. The 8th Annual Sights and Sounds Marching Band competition was held at the CB South football field at Folly and Pickertown Roads in Warrington. The event was open to the public.
"The students spend a good part of their summer and four or five days a week outside school hours rehearsing for a production of this extent," said CB South Band Director Michael Robinson. "Their hard work pays off with the level of musicality and performance. The program [was] really worth seeing; on Oct. 13 the community [could have] also enjoy[ed] numerous other high school marching bands at Sights and Sounds, as well."

Parents looking to save money for their child's college education might want greater stability than investing in the stock market but need more growth than what savings accounts offer. One option that could be more palatable: age-based 529 education savings plans.
These plans, designed for families to save for education, are comprised of a variety of investments at varying risk levels—including mutual funds, bond funds, and savings accounts. As the child ages, the fund automatically reduces investments in higher risk, stock market-based investments, commonly referred to as equity investments. The changes happen in age bands, depending on the age of the child for whom the funds are being saved. For instance, industry experts say, you'd expect a less risky set of investments in a 16- to 18-year-old bracket than in the 10- to 12-year-old band.

According to Morningstar's 2011 "529 College Savings Plans Research Paper and Industry Survey," between August and September 2011, parents and grandparents chose age-based plans with investments beyond savings accounts—such as money invested in the stock market—for younger children while they increased safer investments for 14-year-olds.
There are four main steps parents and grandparents should take when choosing age-based 529 plans:
1. Consider personal risk tolerance: Risk tolerance is the degree to which a person accepts risk within their investments. For instance, if someone has $5,000 invested in a mutual fund, would they want to sell their funds if the value dropped 20 percent to $4,000? Another person may get rid of the mutual fund if it dropped 10 percent to $4,500.
Sometimes risk tolerance is based on a need, such as not being able to wait for the possibility of investments increasing in value because a child starts college next year. Other times, it's based on an emotional reaction. If a parent is uncomfortable with investments that could rise or fall in the stock market, financial experts say, no matter how much an investment is predicted to grow in the next five years, he or she might prefer to opt for something less aggressive.
Since age-based 529 plans are sold in conservative, moderate, and aggressive options that contain a variety of investments, it's important for potential 529 investors to rate their overall risk tolerances. Since an individual's risk tolerance is both an emotional and financial decision, Vanguard offers questionnaires to determine risk tolerance levels.
One question asked: "From September 2008 through November 2008, stocks lost over 31%. If I owned a stock investment that lost about 31% in 3 months, I would… (If you owned stocks during this period, select the answer that corresponds to your actual behavior.)" Other questions ask about income stability and amount of time until the funds are needed.

2. Balance security and growth: Ultimately, the goal of saving for college is to pay for it. The best way to do that, experts say, is to choose a diverse group of investments so part of your funds are always secure, while the rest can grow in funds that have great records of growth.
"Don't choose too conservative or too aggressive," says John Heywood, principal for Vanguard's retail investor group. "On the conservative end, you could choose a conservative age-based track or an all-savings-account option with an extremely low interest rate. The savings account option could make sense for someone close to attending college, but not if your child is 3 years old."
3. Compare options among 529 plans: Parents and grandparents who aren't happy with one plan's age-based offering can consider age-based options among other 529 plans within or outside their state. According to Morningstar's "2011 529 College Savings Plans Research Paper and Industry Survey" author Laura Lutton, "One plan may get less equity heavy when the child turns 3 while others may stay constant until age 5 or older."

CLARKSVILLE — The Clarksville Plan Commission has approved three district development plans, with the promise of several new businesses coming to the town.
"I was elated," said commission member and Town Councilman Tim Hauber. "It looks like we're getting some tenants in those buildings."
The district development plans include renovation and new tenants for the old Bigg's grocery store at River Falls Mall, new buildings and an expansion to an existing structure at the old Value City property along Eastern Boulevard and the construction of a new assisted-living community near Progress Way.
Several new businesses are in negotiations to come to the old Value City site, according to Eric Goodman with developer API, including SVS Vision Center, Little Caesars Pizza and Subway. The district development plans call for two buildings to be constructed on a tract near Eastern Boulevard. Subway and Little Caesars would have drive-thru lanes, and both restaurants would reside in multiple-tenant buildings ranging from 4,000 to 4,500 square feet.
Another tract towards the rear of the Value City Property will see the construction of two buildings, 10,500 and 9,000 square feet in size, respectively. Each will be host to global medical companies, Goodman said.
Retail locations in the building where Indiana Downs is located will be combined and expanded by 8,000 square feet to woo a national grocery store, Goodman added.
General retailer Gordmans is planned to serve as the anchor store for the old Bigg's location at River Falls Mall. Gordmans offers brand-name fashion at "incredible savings" and an easy-to-shop layout, according to the company's website.
The Mainstreet retirement community near Progress Way will be located on what used to be a trailer park, Councilman John Gilkey said. The assisted-living facility will provide residents with the hospitality-based setting of a hotel, with private rooms, private baths and many as 15 unique destinations within the facility. The Mainstreet development will add about 120 new jobs to the area, Hauber added.

Ok, I just put this together a few mins ago, looking for a new routine, I currently train every other day focus on bench, rows, deads, squats, C&J, Snatch, Im just looking to shake things up a bit.

If I were to start from scratch as a young 13 year old again, I would do every press, squat, and perhaps deadlifts, for my entire career with chains. -- Dan John
Yea I have been trainign for a while, I don't normally plan out weigth and reps, I usually go by instinct and vary reps and wieghts every workout, but I do make sure I am constantly progressing.Originally Posted by MixmasterNash
Thats a strong lookin routine in my opinion, Oly lifts are taxing though I personally could never do PLing and OLing at the same time but if thats your fancy do it up brother!
Thanks, Yea they are taxing, but I don't plan on using max weight for them, maybe 65-70%, they are kind of taking the place of Lower Body Dynamic effort if this were a true PLing routine.Originally Posted by KevinStarke
Sounds good to me man, should get real strong with that split.
I'm with MMN, maybe use your oly day with one of the big lifts and do an amount of accessory work, alternate each cycle? Maybe be swap out your front squats for over head squats, and cleans somewhere on upperday.
I totally agree w. Mix. If it were me, I'd be changing the ME exercise at least every two weeks (and the aux. exercises a little less frequently), and put another day off in that rotation.
A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

After walking out of Wal Mart with a stolen laptop on Tuesday morning, store security believes a shoplifter returned to the store the following night and used the same method to take a second computer.
Security noticed a man in a black cap and blue sweatpants walking into the store's electronics section just before 12 p.m. Tuesday where he used scissors to cut a security cord securing an Acer laptop to a table. Security told police the man walked out of a fire exit with the $628 computer and left the area on Hamilton Ave.
The following night, at about 9:24 p.m., security says the same man returned to the store and did the same thing, cutting the security cord to a $648 HP laptop and walking out of a fire exit with the computer onto N Broadway.
Wal Mart security has provided the White Plains police with security footage of the thefts, but there are no suspects at this time.

Cars: Thursday Barrett-Jackson Car To Watch — 1969 Dodge Super Bee
Posted by Tom Jensen at 9:43 am
Mopar muscle cars are red hot at the 43rd annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction.
On Wednesday, a beautiful 1970 Dodge Challenger crossed the auction block at a hammer price of $92,000, which ranked it as the No. 4 top seller out of the 429 cars sold in the first two days. Not far behind in the No. 6 slot was a 1968 Plymouth Satellite custom convertible that fetched an eye-popping $80,000.
So today, when the quality of cars continues to build and prices continue to rise, we'll be keeping a special eye out for Mopars.

Posted by SPEED at 9:32 am
By Kevin Mackay, Walt Thurn and Matt Stone
An amateur Corvette L88 team beat the world's best GT cars in this world record holding No. 57 "Rebel" L88 Corvette. The story about how this amazing Corvette became a world- beater begins with two Tampa, Fla., businessmen, Dave Heinz and Or Costanzo. Heinz owned Dave Heinz Imports, a Tampa dealership that sold new Jaguars. Costanzo was the new car sales manager for Ferman Chevrolet.
On weekends both shared a common passion — racing Corvettes. Zora Arkus-Duntov, the famous General Motors engineer turned high-performance department director, was always on the lookout for ways to support successful Corvette teams, including the Heinz and Costanzo Corvette. The fact that Costanzo worked at Ferman Chevrolet helped, giving him open communication to GM.

Local prosecutors are warning consumers about two potential Craigslist scams.
Officials say the scams are fake, costing consumers money.
The first scheme targets people answering job ads on Craigslist for housekeeping and cleaning positions. When the consumer answers the ad, they are sent a fraudulent check and asked to cash it. They are instructed to keep a specific portion of the check and Western Union or Money Gram the remainder to a third party. If you cash this check, within a few days your bank will contact you and demand full refund of the amount of the check cashed.
The District Attorney's office also says scammers are posting rental properties on Craigslist that are not legitimate. In some ads, the postings show property for addresses that either do no exist, or may exist at a particular address that is not for sale or rent.
The posting is generally accompanied by a fictional story where the homeowner is out of the country with an emergency. The rental price is far below the comparable market rate. The consumer is instructed to fill in what appears to be personal information qualifying the person to rent the home.
This type of scheme is simply a way to either get the consumer to send a deposit or provide personal information to the scamster who posted the fake listing.
Contact the District Attorney's office at 316-660-3600 if you think you may be a victim of these crimes.

APEX — Kendall Massey and his Wake Forest secondary mates knew the outcome of Friday night's 4AA eastern regional football championship game was on them before head coach Reggie Lucas even put that idea out there.
"When you face a passing team, you know it's on you," said Massey, a senior cornerback. "If we make plays, we win the game."
So they weren't shocked when Lucas, just moments before the Cougars loaded the bus to face Middle Creek, told his defensive backs to go win the game.
"I believe that's the way you win football games with your defensive backs making plays and tackles," Lucas said after Wake Forest's 24-23 victory over the Mustangs.
The Cougars (12-3) did just that after falling behind 14-7 to Middle Creek on two wide receiver screen passes that went for touchdowns against Wake Forest's blitzing defense.
But a switch to a defense that relied on the Wake Forest defensive line to put pressure on the quarterback caused problems for the Middle Creek offense.
The Mustangs threw for 281 yards and three touchdowns on the night, but they didn't get the big gains and long runs after catches that had helped them in their previous 12 wins this season.
"They were hurting us by running behind the line after they caught screen passes early," said senior cornerback Chris Leonard, who spent most of the night lined up across from Middle Creek standout receiver and East Carolina recruit Curtis Burston. "Once we made the defensive adjustment and got some help from our linebackers we really cut those down."
The Cougars shut down the Mustangs' deep shots, for the most part. Massey had a pass breakup on a deep ball from quarterback Brant Grisel to Keon Smith in the second half.
"We've got an amazing front-seven group," Massey said. "They can really adjust on the fly and when we went to more of a coverage defense we tackled a lot better as a team."
Middle Creek's Mike Castellano said his team would have liked to run the ball more against the less aggressive approach up front by the Wake Forest defense, but the Mustangs' backfield has been ravaged by injuries this season leaving few options.
After the go-ahead field goal, the Cougars had to make the game-ending play. Middle Creek completed a screen on fourth-and-8, down 1 with less than a minute left, but Massey and senior safety Nic Deluke led the group that pulled down Mustangs' receiver Jay Schuller a yard short of the first down.
"Coach always says as a defensive back you have to make plays," said Wake Forest sophomore safety Ki'Mon Small. "You want that pressure as a DB."

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Before the first sewer lines were laid down in the City of Lockport, the Eighteenmile Creek was used by residents as one avenue to depose of wastes; residential outhouses and a communal garbage landfill were other means. Manufacturing plants also had a big impact on the creek with many disposing of their waste by-products directly into the creek.
The ongoing abuse of the creek made for a very unpleasant smelling and appearing scene; so much so, that the city of Lockport decided to enclose, cover and contain the creek underground within the city boundaries. This made conditions more livable but the abuse to the creek continued.
It was not until the beginning of the twentieth century, with the population growing, construction of better streets and roads for the new invention of the automobile, that there was insight for the construction of underground water and sewer lines.
The sewer system built not only was designed to take away household sanitary waste but also manufacturing waste and storm water flow. Because the sewer system can receive both sanitary and storm flow, it is called a combined sewer system. Storm receivers were built within the street / curb construction to prevent and alleviate flooding and ponding on the streets after a storm event.
With a storm event, the volume of water can be tenfold from that of a normal non-storm event day. A wastewater treatment plant is designed to handle a certain maximum flow for proper, full treatment. With this in mind, the sewer system can also only handle a maximum amount of flow. If the maximum amount was exceeded within the sewer lines, there were many "relief points" built throughout the system. These "relief points" are called "CSO"s (Combined Sewer Overflow) and are designed to spill the excess amount directly into a nearby waterway.
There will be more about that next week, when I discuss some of the things that happened with last month's incredible downpour that overwhelmed our system.
As the years continued to go by, the practice of some industries to discharge directly into the creek continued until as late as the 1960s. With the emergence of the environmental conservation movement of the 60s and the call for accountability for the care of nature, the Clean Water Act of 1972 was passed by congress and signed into law by President Richard Nixon. This was the first national call for the pro-active care of all the waterways in the United States.
With this law came federal monies for municipalities like Lockport to enlarge and acquire the latest treatment technologies for a more stringent cleaning of our waste waters. Also empowered by this law were the agencies such as the DEC and EPA and Health Dept. to regulate, govern and oversee for the proper treatment of waste water and to hold those responsible for treatment accountable.
Since the Clean Water Act of 1972, regulations and requirements issued by the regulatory agencies have become more and more stringent over the years. It can be a challenge for treatment plants to keep up with the new regulations when dealing with an older plant and sewer system.
The ideal thing for the city of Lockport and many other municipalities with old combined sewer systems is to be able to separate the sewer system into a sanitary system and storm system so that they are no longer treated in the same manner. To separate the two at one time is not practical or could the tax payers of the city be able to shoulder such a burden.
In recent years, there is an ongoing effort to close all of the CSOs within the old sewer system. Of the original 32 CSOs, only 12 are still in existence and of the 12 only three are seen to sometimes activate during extreme high storm flow, the other nine will be in the process of being closed in the near future. Money is the key to any changes that have, and will be made in the treatment of wastewater over the coming years. Balancing what can be done with what we have is the solution and resolve.Doug Sibolski is superintendent and chief operator of th City of Lockport's wastewater treatment plant.

NO NO NO GOOD ASIAN HORROR MOVIES !!!!!!!!!!! The best is old black and white 60's The American 70's-80's I think R the best.. The old Drive in B movies
Reincarnationcocoafangs on Saturday, June 9, 2007 - 6:15pm
This was a fun movie. I feel the climax needed some more punch - People just dropping dead isnt really scary, but the whole movie is a creepy puzzle that's fun to pick through. Asian horror often focuses on young women, but the twist in this one is unexpected and unique. Totally worth the watching (and reading for you lazy bums).
Reincarnationjosephkamiya on Saturday, June 9, 2007 - 8:12pm
I really dug "Reincarnation." I think Shimizu-san really needed to deviate from "The Grudge" series again (the first time being for the quick making of "Marebito," which also produced wonderfully macabre results).
"Reincarnation" had a really creepy atmosphere. There are a few frightening moments, but man, that atmosphere really made the film for me.
The whole deal with different time periods and transitioning from past to present to future to past again was a nice touch.
The partial absence of the typical "J-Horror" cliches and archetypes was also a plus for me. I'm glad to see Shimizu-san continuing to show off his talents in creating suspense and disturbing imagery, which is what makes the "Ju-On" films stand out from the rest of the J-Horror bunch.

I enjoyed watching this movie verryyy much. I thought most of the horrorfest movies sucked, but this one stuck out to me.Takashi Shimizu did an excellent job( he always does).It didnt really scare me all that much but i definitly got creeped out and jumped at one or two parts.
So if your looking to see how this movie is, definitly rent it :
