Budget Accommodation Europe Russia
Moscow, Russia
Overall is ok. It's comfortable and quiet at night. People speak fluent English and are very helpful.
The downside is that the location is a bit hard to find. It would be great if more photos are provided to help the traveller find the building. Moreover, the locker is a bit small, and the bump bed shakes easily.
Moscow, Russia
very friendly people!
very nice decorated: everything brand-new, lots of colors and clean!
nice view, nice place, opposite of metro-station Tulskaya, 3 stops from the red square!
definitely a good place, even more if you consider the low price

This recipe makes a delicious cheese sauce, providing you assemble it the right way! Bring the milk to a boil with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper (left out the food coloring), then whisk in the milk-corn starch slurry. It will thicken almost immediately. Let it boil for a minute or so, stirring the whole time, then remove it from the heat and stir in the cheese. The sauce has a great consistency and is very tasty. It does have a slight grainy texture, but ANY sauce made with real cheese is like that. We had it over corkscrew pasta and it was like fancy mac and cheese, would be excellent over broccoli or cauliflower. My boyfriend thought it tasted like something you'd get at a restaurant.
Antram & Main
Please listen, save your cheese milk cornstarch and time and look for another recipe. This does not cook right and we have tried it a few times and have learned the hard way! Like most of the other people are saying, it DOES go grainy and is way way too runny and the taste and looks of it is ugh. Me and my fiance spent way tooo much time on this and wasted milk cheese and now have nothing to dip our coliflower into.
This is the best cheese sauce I have ever made. I used Cheddar. It worked the first time I made it - perfect texture, NOT RUNNY... quick(5 min.)/simple/mmgood!

My Email Digests
someone please tell me how to make them stop!
I can't sit still, I'm here at work, so far I've walked around the parking lot, (big parking lot) took me 20 mins to go and come back.
did a patrol around the warehouse, (big warehouse) took me 20 mins to go and come back.
I'm done all my stretching exercises- deep breathing etc.
so far, it will stop for a couple of mins. then start back up again.
my doctor said, that we have to retrain out bodies. so, even if it's 2 mins. of less pain, then that's a start.
THAT DOESN'T help when I sitting here squirming and fidgeting in my seat.
I even cry out, as if someone was pinching me or something like that.
I called the doctor on Fri. they told me to keep doing the stretches,
also, that I could take a muscle relaxer 1/2 tablet when it's really bad.
they were also going to ask the doctor if there was anything else I could do.
ha! never got a call back.
these pills make a person sleepy, so she didn't want me to take them because I have to drive 15 miles or so, at 1 :00 am .
pills are only 10 mgs. to me that doesn't sound like much.
the medicine is called cyclo --- something or another, I saw it somewhere that is a common prescription that is given out to FM people.
very bad last night,
I decided to do a bad thing,
I took 2 of the muscle relaxers before leaving work around 12:30 PM. that way, I should be fine driving, as it takes at least 90 mins before they start working.
still had major creepy crawlies etc. I got up at 4 am. took a hot shower, took another muscle relaxer and went back to bed, where I got to sleep and slept till 11 am.
felt good to sleep.
ok, now I'm back at work,
I can feel them wanting to start back up.
I'm trying to nip them in the bud, before they get real bad.
so, all the walking-stretching etc.
oh help!
It sounds like when I was reducing the Valium my body was dependent upon. Are you trying to wean off anything like that, to cause those symptoms? Or is it FM? Could it be anxiety?
I guess the muscle relaxers work for you. Next time try just a half though and see if it is enough. Those things can cause dependence but they are a miracle drug too.
Be well,
I took the Cyclobenaprine...and my understanding was that it was like a big Ibuprofin...an NSAID...so that shouldn't be causing all these itches...but it does make me very sleepy..so I do hope you don't try driving with them again..ugh...It would be awful to fall asleep at the wheel..
I am glad you can walk around a lot at work !!! The other thing that might be happening...is that nerves can get damaged..and then they can do this..and it does take time to get better...you have to hang in there...I do hope your doc returns calls and helps you through this bad time..I think there are things they can give you to help...
It's not an itchy creepie crawlies,
it's the muscle cramping yet NOT actual cramping. It runs around my shoulders, down my back etc. Like electricity running through.
no, not weaning off any meds. so don't think that could be it.
I've had this for years and I thought I was going crazy. Then a sister of a work friend, told me, her SISTER has the same thing. She also has FM.
Wven went to the ER when I had a gall bladder attack, which caused the shoulders neck, back thingy.
In fact, the doctor made a point of saying in his records that I seem more bothered by this than the gall bladder. don't have to worry about the gall bladder any longer, got that removed last summer.
it's so helpful to see that someone is willing to listen and to care
well made it home ok, wasn't sleepy at all.
so, that was good,
still got the thingy in my neck- all the way up to the base of my skull.also the -shoulders-back.
it's not as bad today as it was before. Yet, you'd think the muscle relaxer would have helped more than it did.
Just a thought might try.You would think ice would cause spasms, but not if used intermittently with heat, 15 or 20 on, 15 or 20 with other.
the feel of something going up and down your spine, like bugs crawling all over you.
I've had this before I started taking medications, so I know it's not that.
I had got so bad one time I was having a gall bladder attack, so went to the ER. Doctor wrote down that I was being bothering MORE by the tingling etc.
I had that sort of feeling, but it was a very negative reaction to a medication I had been on for a year. Please call your doctor and make sure it couldn't be any medicine you are on.
Pam in Savannah
So, can't be meds.
is this a symptom of FM?
I've found out that I have to take it more like 4 hours before bed, or I won't be relaxed enough to sleep.
Doctor said I could take 1/2 pill during the day, but it sure didn't help me on Friday.
not worried about going to sleep, I'm still having problems with that.
last night, I went to bed at 11 pm, normal bed time for me.
then woke up at 1 pm, couldn't go back to sleep till after 3 am
I guess you are not alone with this feeling. I hope some of the suggestions you've received will help.
I hate not being able to sleep well. It seems to strike so many of us with FM.
Be well,
it also kind of feels like when you get cold, and you start shivering, but you try to stop it by not moving and holding it inside.
also, kind of like being hypersenitive to touch, without someone actually touching you.
maybe I should just call it the skin crawling.
I'd told them about it in the past, that was why they'd given me the muscle relaxers.
your, right, it's generic for Feleril,
I can still be up and down all night, taking one.
Last night was a killer, Took my med. 2 hours before bed so that was around 9 pm, went to bed at midnight,
didn't get to sleep until after 2 am.
then I stayed asleep until around 9am, (phone call) then went back to sleep until 11 am.
I know the doctor said, to go to bed and get up every day at the same time,
no sleeping in,
I was
ok, IT'S NOT a feeling of bugs crawling, it is more like a muscle twitching or muscle spasms. After doing the research with words such as creepy crawlies, and Restless Leg Symdrome, bugs crawling all over you, I know know what it ISN'T.
Creepy crawlies is a bit different, though some combine it with the same thing.
muscle spasms, like the feeling of a TENS unit, that is turned on way to high, to where it's making the muscles actually JUMP.
yes, it can be a symptom of FM along with Menopause, dehydration low blood sugar. and assorted other things,
- Alcoholism
- Anticonvulsant drugs such as topiramate , sulthiame , and acetazolamide
- Dehydration
- Low blood-sugar (Hypoglycaemia )

Earlier this week, we asked HuffPost Quebec readers to explain the student movement to the rest of us -- the real deal on protests that have racked the province since plans to raise tuition fees were announced in March 2011.
Finance Minister Raymond Bachand's announcement became a flash-point for thousands of students, who balked at the $325 tuition raise.
Over the next five years, the total increase would amount to an extra $1,625. Even so, the total tuition would keep the province's rates among the lowest in the country. That's become a popular refrain among government officials, looking to define the protest as simply tuition outrage. In May, the Jean Charest government ushered in sweeping emergency measures -- the much-reviled Bill 78 -- to counter swelling street protests.
But, as HuffPost Quebec readers pointed out, the trouble in Quebec runs much deeper than a tuition hike.
Now, we turn to our HuffPost Quebec bloggers who have been grappling with this crucial question at a turning point in the province's history.
Here's what 15 top bloggers have to say:
Annick Vigeant, Translator, blogger and co-founder Quelque part
On the significance of pots and pans protests:  In allowing the situation to further deteriorate for its own purposes, the government awakened certain buried frustrations that otherwise, would have been left untouched. Such a crisis would never have been born in the hands of a responsible government. Annick Vigeant on The Blog. Visit also Quelque part
René Forget: Comedian and ex-police officer
On the role of police in this conflict: Open your arms to the students, negotiate a truce, and succeed where the government has failed. You are the police, you must be calm when we are angry, strong when we are weak, flexible when we are unrelenting, you must listen to us, reassure us, and guide us. You, the police, must save us, even if it's from ourselves. René Forget on The Blog.
Giscard Tremblay: Blogger
On future elections:  Let's imagine that Charest calls an election right now. Who are we going to vote for? Jean Charest? He's clearly not a leader. Pauline Marois, Charest's red square opportunist? No, thank you. François Legault, who pushed Bill 78, and who welcomes into his party the dejected from the right and left? The ADQ (Action Democratique Quebec), it's so empty... Oh wait! It's the CAQ (Coalition Avenir Quebec) that's so empty! Québec Solitaire (sic)? Giscard Tremblay on The Blog.
Christine Fréchette: Analyst, American politics
On Bill 78: Now, if the government truly wishes to regulate the revenue problem of universities, all it has to do is announce it will take the estimated cost of Bill 78, and invest it into Quebecois universities. Christine Fréchette on The Blog
Francine Pelletier: Journalist, director and scriptwriter
On violating Bill 78: Sometimes, there are actions more worthy of respect, and certainly more brave, than to simply genuflect, to bend down before the law. Naturally, we understand the needs of jurists and politicians to reiterate their attachments to democratic rule since it's their meal ticket. The problem is that democracy does not go exclusively on the side of the law. Democracy measures itself just as much, and sometimes more so, on the side of dissent. Being able to oppose that which strikes us as unjust is just as important, and somewhat more complicated, than going to vote. Francine Pelletier on The Blog
Simon Delorme: Political science student, Université de Montréal
On protesting: As I said in my introduction, I am not a radical. I am a citizen. The average individual. A John Doe. I don't want to overthrow the government, the state, or capitalism. I just want to express myself peacefully. Simon Delorme on The Blog
Victor-Lévy Beaulieu: Writer, playwright and editor
In his letter congratulating radical student leader Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois: As Jean-Paul Sartre said, we are never radical enough, especially when we are young, and have before us so many dead corpses of the past. Victor-Lévy Beaulieu on The Blog
Pascal Henrard: Writer
On the tuition increase: At first, I was for the tuition hikes and against the strikes. I found it normal that everyone ought to pay for what he gets. I was never affected by the government beating us over the head with its sleep-inducing statements that all students had to "pay their share," but a little bump in tuition, I told myself, couldn't do much harm. Or at least, as far as my own comfort was concerned. Then I changed my mind. Pascal Henrard writer Blog
Pierre Luc Brisson: Former political attaché
On Jean Charest: He must have nine lives. Every time he seems weakened by a crisis, or by the resignation of one of his ministers (Séguin, Bellemare, Couillard, Mulcair, etc.), he amazes political pundits by bouncing back; a true political cat, always with a trick up his sleeve. Pierre Luc Brisson on The Blog
Vladimir de Thézier: Co-founder of political party Option nationale
On free education: They keep rehashing the comparison between the rest of Canada and the United States in the hopes that Quebec will be able to imitate them. We cannot remove our gaze from North America, and therefore, forget our friends in Mexico who enjoy free education at the university level. Economic discourse champions the concept of globalization, but when it comes to financing our education, we've become short-sighted, chained to the American-Canadian model. Vladimir de Thézier on The Blog
Martin Lavallée: Graduate student, Université du Québec à Montréal
On having top-ranking universities in Quebec: In the context of a government that is deeply in debt, and is not in a position to finance our universities, the increase in tuition seeks to respond to the costs that arise for advanced research and assistance in recruiting the best international students. All of this is in the aim of having our universities recognized as "prestigious" and of "international renown." But the question remains: Are Quebecois students prepared to pay more so that their schools are recognized internationally by a minority of individuals whose criteria is that of a neoliberal global market which seeks to meet the needs of private corporations? Martin Lavallée on The Blog
Reynaldo Marquez: Lawyer and journalist
On why we should raise tuition fees: The tuition freeze of the past nine years cannot continue. Remember, we're coming out of an economic crisis, and our exports have been diminishing, or at best, stagnating for the past two years. This is not counting the fact that Ottawa has reduced funding for post-secondary education as part of its plan to reduce the deficit. Our public finances are in bad shape. The freeze was a luxury; we don't have the means to maintain it anymore. Reynaldo Marquez on The Blog
Lise Ravary: Journalist, media personality
On why she supports the tuition hike: The examples of western nations where university is free do not reassure me in the slightest. In Scotland, where university is free for citizens, there is a rationing of places. St. Andrew's, the McGill of Scotland, accepts only 30 per cent of Scottish students. The rest of the students are foreigners (this includes the English) because the university doesn't have the means to accept more Scots. In France, where tuition is exceptionally low, the grounds are falling apart, people freeze in corridors during the winter, the libraries are devoid of recent books, the best professors are nowhere to be found, thousands of students pile themselves in the same auditoriums, etc. The system is broken, say French professors. Lise Ravary on The Blog
Marie-Lyse Paquin: Blogger and web consultant
On Quebec's youth and Bill 78: I am one those people who believes ideas are what change the world, not technology, not money; ideas! And these ideas have been circulating for quite some time now. There are those who say youth preoccupy themselves with everything, but even when they're confused, they can still see the bankruptcy of the system. Marie-Lyse Paquin on The Blog
Mélanie Joly: Managing Partner, Cohn & Wolfe
On political cynicism: Not only must the government face its increasing unpopularity, but also the fact that those elected are the victims of the devaluation of their offices. Not only have we lost our confidence in the government, but in our representatives in the national assembly as well. Mélanie Joly on The Blog

In the second optimization level, we saw that a number of alignment optimizations were introduced that had the effect of increasing performance but also increasing the size of the resulting image. Three additional alignment optimizations specific to this architecture are available. The -malign-int option allows types to be aligned on 32-bit boundaries. If you're running on a 16-bit aligned target, -mno-align-int can be used. The -malign-double controls whether doubles, long doubles and long-longs are aligned on two-word boundaries (disabled with -mno-align-double). Aligning doubles provides better performance on Pentium architectures at the expense of additional memory.
Stacks also can be aligned by using the option -mpreferred-stack-boundary. The developer specifies a power of two for alignment. For example, if the developer specified -mpreferred-stack-boundary=4, the stack would be aligned on a 16-byte boundary (the default). On the Pentium and Pentium Pro targets, stack doubles should be aligned on 8-byte boundaries, but the Pentium III performs better with 16-byte alignment.
For applications that utilize standard functions, such as memset, memcpy or strlen, the -minline-all-stringops option can increase performance by inlining string operations. This has the side effect of increasing the size of the image.
Loop unrolling occurs in the process of minimizing the number of loops by doing more work per iteration. This process increases the size of the image, but it also can increase its performance. This option can be enabled using the -funroll-loops option. For cases in which it's difficult to understand the number of loop iterations, a prerequisite for -funroll-loops, all loops can be unrolled using the -funroll-all-loops optimization.
A useful option that has the disadvantage of making an image difficult to debug is -momit-leaf-frame-pointer. This option keeps the frame pointer out of a register, which means less setup and restore of this value. In addition, it makes the register available for the code to use. The optimization -fomit-frame-pointer also can be useful.
When operating at level -O3 or having -finline-functions specified, the size limit of the functions that may be inlined can be specified through a special parameter interface. The following command illustrates capping the size of the functions to inline at 40 instructions:
gcc -o sort sort.c --param max-inline-insns=40
This can be useful to control the size by which an image is increased using -finline-functions.
The default stack alignment is 4, or 16 words. For space-constrained systems, the default can be minimized to 8 bytes by using the option -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2. When constants are defined, such as strings or floating-point values, these independent values commonly occupy unique locations in memory. Rather than allow each to be unique, identical constants can be merged together to reduce the space that's required to hold them. This particular optimization can be enabled with -fmerge-constants.
Depending on the specified target architecture, certain other extensions are enabled. These also can be enabled or disabled explicitly. Options such as -mmmx and -m3dnow are enabled automatically for architectures that support them.
We've discussed many optimizations and compiler options that can increase performance or decrease size. Let's now look at some fringe optimizations that may provide a benefit to your application.
The -ffast-math optimization provides transformations likely to result in correct code but it may not adhere strictly to the IEEE standard. Use it, but test carefully.
When global common sub-expression elimination is enabled (-fgcse, level -O2 and above), two other options may be used to minimize load and store motions. Optimizations -fgcse-lm and -fgcse-sm can migrate loads and stores outside of loops to reduce the number of instructions executed within the loop, therefore increasing the performance of the loop. Both -fgcse-lm (load-motion) and -fgcse-sm (store-motion) should be specified together.
The -fforce-addr optimization forces the compiler to move addresses into registers before performing any arithmetic on them. This is similar to the -fforce-mem option, which is enabled automatically in optimization levels -O2, -Os and -O3.
A final fringe optimization is -fsched-spec-load, which works with the -fschedule-insns optimization, enabled at -O2 and above. This optimization permits the speculative motion of some load instructions to minimize execution stalls due to data dependencies.
hi, follow the "Listing 3.
hi, follow the "Listing 3. Simple Example of gprof" but when using -O or -O2, the profile is "Flat profile".So how to resoult it?
my step is:
1: gcc -o test_optimization test_optimization.c -pg -march=i386
2: ./test_optimization
3: gprof --no-graph -b ./test_optimization gmon.out
4: the result is:
Flat profile:
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
no time accumulated
% cumulative self self total
time seconds seconds calls Ts/call Ts/call name
0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 factorial
if add -O2, the result is:
Flat profile:
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
no time accumulated
% cumulative self self total
time seconds seconds calls Ts/call Ts/call name
single optimization flag without level
Any optimization can be enabled outside of any level simply by specifying its name with the -f prefix, as:
gcc -fdefer-pop -o test test.c
In current versions of GCC it is incorrect ( http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#optimization-options ). Single optimization flag without optimization level doesn't work. I don't know what about old versions.
gcc 4.2.3 vs visual c 2005
I just compiled a code under gcc cygwin and visual c 2005 in a lpatop with dula core intel processor.
The debuggable gcc code was about 2x times than faster than visual c++ debuggable code
however the situation reversed when i used O3 optimization in gcc and "release" optimization in visual c.
now the visual c code is 2x faster than gcc.
i did not expect that large a difference; it is HUGE!!
am i missin gsomehting or anybody else has noticed similar thing?
visual c++ optimizations
apparentely, MSVC uses a few insecure optimizations counting that the developer created a secure code. Probably thats why its debug build is slower.
I've seen lots of situations where gcc code gives a error right away, and promptly showing me and bug and MSVC happily executing a code until it finally stumble upon a non-static field of a class and finally giving a error. For me , this is simple misleading and thats why I prefer gcc
Detailed article, that is great!
You wrote very detailedly!
It is really useful for me right now since I am doing my thesis work on optimization under Linux. Thank your so much!
Someone should write some
Someone should write some "C" code and a few scripts that will enable / disable every compiler option and then print out which options worked best for _your_ particular system.
A benchmark that would specifically test each option (as opposed to using a single benchmark, and huge) could be written.
EG: no point in benchmarking if we should use:
gcc -O2 -O3 code.c -- One disables the other
gcc -fno-gcse SSE2_code.c
Benchmarks need to have a 'large' effect on the option that is being switched.
This could be ran overnight (or on multiple machines, each doing part of the testing) and results provided on a web page somewhere.
Experts could put in thier two cents and a wiki of snipperts could
be fed into a code compilator (not compiler, just a bunch of scripts) that would compilate all the snippets and produce a final program to be compiled on many different machines.
This way we could figure out that if we had such-and-such a system then "how-often" (what % of the time) would we simply be better off
to use a particular option and when is it more likely based on that TYPE of program we are running (wordprocessor vs. MultiMedia app).
EG: If you have a Pentium is is ALWAYS (or should be if gcc is correct) best to use the -march=pentium option - BUT - it is NOT always best to use "-fcrossjumping" (though it _could_ be for certain applications).
The output of all this could simply be a half dozen command line choices for each processor - including a "general purpose 'best'" setting and a "quick compile with great optimization" setting (for intermediate builds).
This is something that a few dozen people need to work on to get the ball rolling and then the rest of us need to pitch in and compile the resulting test scripts to check for errors. With everyone's help we should have the so-called answer(S) to "which compilation options should I use for machine-X when compiling applcation=category Y.
Just a thought ...

Minor comment -- -O defaults to -O1, not to -O0.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

MAAC Semifinals
Iona 79, Niagara 72
How Iona Won: The Gaels dominated the inside, making it imperative for Niagara to shoot it well from the outside. That didn't happen. The Purple Eagles launched 33 shots from behind the arc and made just seven. They were 21 of 36 on two-pointers. What's more, Niagara scored just 12 points off 14 Iona turnovers.
Player of the Game: David Laury, Iona's 6-8 sophomore forward, was sensational. He had 20 points and 17 rebounds, giving him 44 points and 33 rebounds in two games against the Purple Eagles.
Best Supporting Role: Taaj Ridley, Laury's front-court mate, is benefiting from the room that opens because of Laury's presence. His 16 points were two off his season high.
Best Player (Losing Effort): With Tahjere McCall out injured, Marvin Jordan played all but a few seconds, scored 11 points and handed out six assists. And no turnovers.
Ellis Island: The Gaels don't develop freshman. They scour the country for players looking to transfer. Momo Jones came from Arizona. Tavon Sledge from Iowa State. Ridley, Laury and Tre Bowman were juco players. The only Gaels who came straight from high school: freshman A.J. English and junior Sean Armand.
Stat Check: Iona shot just five second-half threes to Niagara's 15. They both made two.
What It Means: Iona, an NCAA at-large team last year, looks to secure a second straight trip to The Dance with a win in Monday night's MAAC title game against Manhattan. The Jaspers are only the second No. 6 seed to tourney history to make the final. Niagara will play in the NIT, its prize for winning the conference regular-season crown.
They Said It
Niagara's Antoine Mason picked up his third foul when Momo Jones drew a charge with 6:17 remaining. Here's Jones:
"I've known him since I was a young kid. He's a power player. I knew he wanted to go right and I kept telling coach, 'Coach, all he wants to do is go right. All he wants to do is go right.' That was just the mindset. Make him go right. Take a charge. I think he had maybe two or three at that time and I knew if I could get that charge he would slow down and not be as aggressive as he was. I think that charge really set him back and he wasn't as aggressive as he was early on."
Iona coach Tim Cluess: "When we have four of five guys giving us good contributions and other guys coming off our bench and helping us in different roles then we're a pretty good basketball team. And right now we're a pretty good team."
Niagara coach Joe Mihalich: "Our hearts our broken. At the same time, as I said to the guys, at the same time there's a lot of guys whose hearts are broken and they've turned their uniforms in. We're not doing that."
Mason on Niagara's second-half shooting woes: "We just didn't hit them in the second half. The first half everything was going in. We got to make sure if it's not going in we got to mix it up."

A businessman that was seeking to capitalize on the potential of industry around River Ridge was met with a denial on Tuesday — even after his same request was approved in 2008.
Red Ball Recycling, which was aiming to take advantage of River Ridge's explosive growth and the connection of the east-end bridge, was granted a positive recommendation for a zoning change by the Jeffersonville Plan Commission, only to be denied by the Jeffersonville Board of Zoning Appeals just moments later.
Red Ball, being represented by attorney Jack Vissing, presented the development plan to locate a recycling business at 4016 Utica-Sellersburg Road. The plan would include a 4,800-square-foot-building and a storage yard on nearly eight acres.
The property is located off of Utica-Sellersburg Road, between Shungate Road and railroad tracks that run along Ind. 62.
"[Jeffersonville] approved the exact variance at the exact site in 2008," Vissing said.
Owner of Red Ball Recycling Brian Donaghy, who at the time was working for another recycling company, filed the request with the city, but said that the deal fell through because of the downturn in the economy.
When he left his former employer and started his own business, Donaghy returned to the same property to locate his business.
"It felt like the logical choice," he said.
The company would accept scrap metal, including vehicles, and then send the metal off to a different site to be recycled.
And if the company were allowed to locate at the property, it would be in an advantageous position to capitalize on nearby and expanding businesses and industry.
"They are also located in a strategic site," Vissing said, citing access to the Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville and River Ridge Commerce Center. "There are a number of sources that feed them."
But one of the concerns voiced was of the traffic that would be generated in the area.
Charles Newton, owner of B & J Trucking Service Inc., said he was concerned with the amount of trucks that already access the road.
"There are seven trucking companies there," he said. "There's probably 300 to 500 trucks that come back-and-forth there every day. If it's not developed properly, we are going to have a major problem with traffic and safety."
The request to rezone the site was approved 6-1, with Plan Commission Member and City Councilman Ed Zastawny voting against.
Several conditions applied to the approval including the board of zoning appeals approval for a use variance for recycling.
Vissing explained that a use variance was requested by the board of zoning appeals because the only place that is zoned for industrial recycling use is inside River Ridge.
But the request to the board of zoning appeals for the variance was denied by a vote of 2-3 with board of zoning appeals members Rita Flemming, Marty Chalfant and Josh Rodriquez voting against because they believed the change would adversely affect the surrounding property owners.
The most common reason for the plan commission to offer an unfavorable recommendation was cited as spot zoning — -where one property is zoned to fit a specific use in contrast to the surrounding use of the other properties.
Plan Commission Member Brent Roberts explained that the issue with spot zoning extends beyond the specific plans presented Tuesday night. If the rezoning is approved, the property can be resold or developed under any of the acceptable uses in the new zoning classification.
Roberts said his concern for some of the properties to be rezoned were "what it could be ultimately."
Among the requests that were viewed as spot zoning were requests from: Sprigler Concrete Co. to rezone a lot on Coopers Lane where it would construct a contractor's office on more than five acres; a home health business that is already in operation, but failed to request the zoning change on Eighth Street; and Industrial Air Centers Inc. which filed a request to rezone a portion of the adjacent property where the business is already located in order to expand the business. All of the requests were met with unfavorable recommendations for the zoning change and will be passed along to the Jeffersonville City Council for a vote.
One request was given a positive recommendation to rezone a property at 2004 Utica Pike from low density residential to low density multifamily residential. Kevin Guernsey, who plans to redevelop the property into a duplex, would be allowed to put four units in the existing property, but assured the plan commission board and the neighbors only two units, which would carry a high-end price tag, would be developed at the site.
"The fact is [the property] has been vacant for four years," said Plan Commission Member and City Councilwoman Connie Sellers. "It doesn't do the neighborhood any good to have a house that is falling apart. I just see this as a better option than letting it sit vacant."

So with the news of the Big 12-SEC bowl game merger, the thought came to me. We will likely never see the SEC champion. We probably won't see the Big 12 champion. When you are talking about taking the top four teams in college football into the playoff system, most years, those teams will be involved. Last year, 2 SEC teams would have been involved. Oklahoma State probably would have made the top four too, along with Stanford. So the new big bowl game would have featured... Arkansas vs. Kansas State? Funny thing is... we got that matchup. They called it the Cotton Bowl.
So you see my angle for Texas vs. Texas A&M here. It could happen.

Daily Item
---- — The political atmospherics surrounding Attorney General Kathleen Kane and Governor Tom Corbett drew the spotlight to the collapse last week of the scheme to outsource Pennsylvania's $3.5 billion state lottery to a British company.
It fell to General Kane, barely two months in office, to review the state's contract with London-based Camelot Global Services. She found the contract did not meet the measure of state stature or constitutional standards, which left the lottery under state employee management and the Camelot contract in a state of confusion.
While the particulars are not trivial and may be argued within the wonkish weeds of legal opinion and revenue policy, there is a big picture measure being missed in the Corbett administration's commitment to privatization.
It takes us back to the "you didn't build it" national divide so frequently chanted at separate party conventions last summer.
Free enterprise enthusiasts emphasize the industrious, risk-taking, pioneering entrepreneurs unleashed from crushing taxation and regulation. They emphasize individualism.
Those who see strength-through-unity emphasize economic progress as the offspring of a social contract that creates the context for individual success through public investment in transportation, education, well being and peace.
Both viewpoints properly borrow from each other. But they should not steal, which, regrettably, appears to be the Corbett administration's definition of privatization.
The governor's policies bend toward the sale or outsourcing to private ownership and management such revenue-generating assets as the state liquor store monopoly and the state-run lottery system and market-capture opportunities that result from compulsory public education.
The very reason these enterprises are attractive to the private investment is that they are state-enforced opportunities. They are brands, markets and value created by laws, regulations and capital extracted and invested under threat of imprisonment.
What startup company would not succeed if armed with the tax-free, regulation-exempt power to separate the world between investors and inmates? There is no genius in that.
When the public acceded to or embraced these public services for the greater good, that bargain came with the promise of responsible management and accountable ownership. That was the contract.
A temporary occupant of the executive office should neither have nor believe he or she has the authority to auction away Pennsylvania's public property without the expressed consent of the owners -- in this case, the voters through their elected representatives.
To do otherwise is to confuse privatization with plunder.

Stuffing Christmas stockings with oranges a century or so ago seems these days such a quaint way to celebrate the holidays. Try that one on your kids!
Our modern-day ambivalence, however, betrays how little thought we spare for the seasonality of fresh citrus fruit, once a marvel in the depths of winter, not least that it could be transported across the country from sunny, southern orchards to snowbound stores.
12 seedless clementines, divided
2 1/4 cups superfine sugar, divided
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing pan
Zest and juice of 1 lemon, divided
3 eggs
1 (10-ounce) package (2 1/2 cups packed) blanched ground almonds
1/4 cup farina (Cream of Wheat)
1 (7-ounce) tub Greek yogurt
Cheesecake Cream (recipe follows)
Thinly slice 5 of the clementines, rinds on, horizontally, discarding ends.
In a small pan, combine 1 1/4 cups of the sugar with 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a simmer. Add clementine slices, cover and cook until slices are tender, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, grease a 10-inch springform pan and line with parchment.
Use a slotted spoon to lift clementine slices from syrup. Arrange slices neatly over bottom of springform pan, overlapping where necessary. Zest remaining 7 clementines. Divide zest half, reserving 1 portion for cheesecake cream. Squeeze juice from 4 zested clementines.
Stir clementine juice into syrup in pan. Boil gently uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or to desired thickness — up to 30 minutes if you prefer a thicker sauce. Set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Beat remaining sugar with the butter, lemon zest and half of clementine zest until pale. (Reserve lemon juice for cheesecake cream.) Beat in the eggs 1 at a time.
Peel 3 remaining zested clementines and separate into segments. Place segments in a food processor and process until pulpy. Stir pulp into butter-sugar mixture, along with the ground almonds, farina and yogurt. Mix until smooth.
Spoon batter carefully over candied clementine slices in springform pan. Bake in preheated oven until a skewer inserted near center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cake in pan on rack. As cake bakes, make the Cheesecake Cream.
Invert fully cooled cake onto serving platter. Peel off parchment. Serve wedges of cake topped with a dollop of Cheesecake Cream and a drizzling of syrup.
Makes 12 servings.
CHEESECAKE CREAM: In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, 7 ounces Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup superfine sugar with lemon juice and clementine zest reserved from above recipe. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tasting of summer, oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes brighten winter days with their sweetness, tang and zest. At their height, citrus fruits are plump, smooth-skinned and have that floral, faintly antiseptic aroma that tickles the nose. Although many types of domestic citrus store well, and many are imported from around the globe all year, grapefruit and oranges purchased in fall are pale shadows of what's in store for shoppers who can wait a couple of months.
Christmas provides the perfect occasion for growers to market the variety of mandarin oranges known as clementines, often branded as Cuties. Packed in their own 5-pound box, these tiny, easy-to-peel fruit deliver the citrus season's first gift. And shoppers are buying plenty. McClatchy News Service reported in January that California orchardists are planting more mandarins than any other citrus.
As the country's second-largest citrus producer, our neighbor to the south meets most of the demand for fresh fruit, from early November to April or May, depending on variety. Florida's production is larger, but most of it goes to orange juice, about 40 percent of the world's supply, according to McClatchy. Except for south Florida's Key limes, virtually all limes sold in the United States come from Mexico.
Americans can thank Christopher Columbus for introducing citrus — among other foods — to the Caribbean on his second voyage. Citrus's eventual dietary significance to sailors persists in the term for the fruit's primary acid, "ascorbic," which means "no scurvy." In addition to its vitamin C, citrus contains a chemical compound, limonin, found to prevent several cancers, including those of the mouth, throat and stomach.
Even without health to recommend them, citrus strikes a balance between sweet and bitter flavors like almost no other ingredient in the kitchen. And the fruit's rind, juice and pulp all can be used to different culinary purposes. In their native Southeast Asia, citrus is a critical component of cooking. Citrus also is celebrated in many Mediterranean dishes, owing to the ancient Greeks' and Romans' widespread cultivation.
Millennia of cross-breeding have yielded numerous varieties that are sweeter, juicier, lower in acid and easier to peel than their predecessors, as well as being visually stunning. Some examples are Moro blood oranges, Cara Cara navel oranges, Satsuma mandarins and Honeybell tangelos.
Because each fruit has a distinct appearance and flavor, it's hard to imagine shoppers losing their appetite for citrus before summer fruits appear. But the most enthusiastic and well-intentioned of us can stall halfway through that box of clementines, leaving them to languish past their eating prime.
When that happens, consider reviving them — and almost any other citrus — in a simple syrup. Then spoon the simmered slices with infused syrup onto ice cream or all-natural yogurt, layer them with French toast or arrange them on top of store-bought cheesecake for instant elegance. Better yet, bake your own cake with this recipe from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Richmond city officials say two police officers investigated for allegedly making inappropriate comments during President Barack Obama's last visit to Richmond in May are no longer employed by the city.
A spokesman for Mayor Dwight C. Jones' office said Friday that the two officers ended their employment with the city on July 6. It was unclear whether they were fired or left on their own accord.
The move followed recommendations from police officials and an internal investigation after Obama's May 5 stop at Virginia Commonwealth University's Siegel Center.
City and police officials couldn't provide details of the investigation or the nature of the comments.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that federal agents determined that the remarks were not criminal in nature and considered the matter resolved.

McAuley's Chase Damer opened his first season on the golf team as the team's fifth player. He will finish the season at the state meet.
"Chase is in his first year golfing, and he's come a long way," McAuley coach Brenden Gubera said. "He was our No. 5 when he started the year, and now he's pushing No. 2 or No. 3. To come out for one year of golf and qualify for state, that's quite a feat on his part. He's put in the effort and the work to do it."
Tipton (337) edged Drexel (338) by one stroke to win the team competition of the Class 1 sectional meet Monday at Schifferdecker Golf Course in Joplin. Tipton and Drexel qualified full teams to next week's state meet at Silo Ridge Golf Club in Bolivar.
The 12 best individual scores not from Tipton or Drexel also qualified. Purdy's Phillip Roller won the sectional with a 76. McAuley's Connor Schlegel (84), Zach Crossland (86) and Damer (90) and College Heights' Cole McAlester (87) were among the 12 individual qualifiers.
McAuley was third in the team standings with a four-man score of 353.
"We set a goal to qualify as a team, but we came out a few shots short," Gubera said. "We had chances. We left a lot of putts on the greens today. You can't do that."
Still, the Warriors feel good about advancing three to state.
Schlegel, who recently signed to collegiate golf at Rogers State University in Claremore, Okla., returns to state after tying for 15th last season.
He said he wasn't pleased with his 13-over-par effort on Monday but is glad he gets another chance at state. Schlegel shot a 44 on the front-nine at Schifferdecker but rebounded with a 40 and the final nine holes.
"I had a pretty rough round actually," Schlegel said. "I started off pretty bad on the front, but I hung in there at the end.
"I live to fight another day. So I can shoot my low round at state. That's all that matters."
Crossland and Damer are first-time state qualifiers.
Ethan Koechner led Tipton with a 6-over 77, and Trevor Cooley led Drexel with an 80. Other individual qualifiers were Cole Camp's Matthew VanHolten (80), Windsor's Trevor Warlen (83), Cole Camp's David Martin (84), Sacred Heart's James Lucchesi (86), Crest Ridge's Justin Evans (89), Cole Camp's Karstan Luchini (89) and Stover's Brock Nolting (89).
The state meet will be Monday and Tuesday at Bolivar.
"We'll go up Sunday, play a practice round and see what happens," Gubera said.

Joseph Tucker, 29, was riding his bicycle on a San Francisco street when the driver of a van owned by Lorrie's Travel & Tours, Inc., collided with him near an intersection. Tucker was ejected from his bicycle and fell to the ground. The van driver left the scene of the accident.
Tucker suffered dental injuries and four jaw fractures. He underwent a lengthy surgery and required wiring in his mouth. He also required veneers and crowns, which necessitate ongoing dental work. His medical expenses were about $150,000. A bank account manager earning about $23 per hour, Tucker missed about two months from work.
Tucker sued Lorrie's Travel, alleging it was vicariously liable for the actions of its unknown driver. Tucker also sued two purported drivers, Rufino Mejia and Edgar Abecendario, alleging negligent driving.
Abecendario settled before trial for $8,500. Lorrie's Travel also settled before trial for $250,000. The jury awarded about $593,200.
Citation: Tucker v. Lorrie's Travel & Tours, Inc., Confidential Dkt. No. (Cal., San Francisco Co. Super. July 26, 2012).
Plaintiff counsel: Lenore R. Shefman and AAJ member Shaana Rahman, both of San Francisco.

Last week I embarked on a road trip to Oregon like I hadn't done since my college days. Back then I would travel to Eugene to watch my Huskies destroy the University of Oregon Ducks in football.
For the record, the University of Washington has won more college football national championships than Oregon, with one. Do the math and you can deduce, the number of Oregon championships.
Last Saturday, I stayed in Seattle to watch the University of Washington spring football game at Century Link Field, the temporary home of the Huskies next season.
The defense made me optimistic about the 2012 season. The offense was downright offensive and made me want to drink Oregon Pinot Noir. That would have to wait a day.
On Sunday morning I flew to Portland, where our Oregon odyssey began. Crammed in a van, we covered Oregon wine country over the next four days from the Willamette Valley by the Washington border to the Rogue Valley almost to the California border.
Four writers from California, yours truly as the only representative from Washington, and the Oregon state wine industry each professed the virtues of the various wine regions. The preference and bias for wines, neatly falling by local allegiance, were as clearly defined as the state borders.
Furthermore, a clear division (in some cases animosity) became evident between American Viticultural Areas within each state. Like the Civil War, Oregon was split between the north and the south of the state. California's ugly stepchild wine regions were Temecula and Mendocino County. As for Washington, even more specifically Woodinville, I was reminded of the division between wineries based in Woodinville versus wineries with tasting rooms in Woodinville but based elsewhere in the state.
There are slightly more than 400 wineries in Oregon. There are almost twice as many in Washington state, at around 750. California has five times as many as Washington at almost 4,000 wineries.
During the course of my work I try wines from all over the world. I believe it gives me a clearer perspective on the wines of Washington that are the focus of the Cork Dork column each week. And I'm here to tell you that Woodinville competes toe-to-toe with the best and largest wine regions of the world.
Granted, most of the fruit that goes into wines made in Woodinville comes from vineyards east of the Cascade Mountains, but the variety and quality produced in Woodinville is remarkable at every price point. Woodinville does not have the climate to ripen vinifera properly. What Woodinville lacks in grape growing conditions, it makes up in innovative and precise winemaking.
Most of Washington doesn't provide the conditions to make Pinot Noir like they do in Oregon. That singular reputation for spectacular food-friendly Pinot Noir has positioned Oregon wines across the country better than wines from Washington, where growers and winemakers continue to experiment with new varietals.
In Oregon, Pinot Gris is the leading white varietal. Chardonnay has made tremendous strides over the last decade or two since many of the growers and winemakers have focused on Dijon clones of the varietal.
Over the next decade or two look for Rhone, Bordeaux and Rioja-style varietals from Southern Oregon to thrive. Abacela in Roseburg is already making world-class Tempranillo and Albarino as good as the wines in Spain, and Viognier and Grenache-based Rosé that compares to the wines of the Rhone.
Many of the other wineries in Southern Oregon, such as Brandborg Vineyard & Winery, Cowhorn Vineyard, Del Rio Vineyards, Folin Cellars, Quady North Winery and Red Lily Vineyards, are making outstanding wines with hot weather varietals such as Tempranillo, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Viognier in a more elegant style than in Washington or California. Northern Oregon producers Domaine Serene and Ken Wright Cellars make outstanding wines with Southern Oregon fruit under the labels Rockblock and Tyrus Evan, respectively.
For one current measure of how Washington compares to Oregon and California, I turned to the 18th annual Pacific Coast Oyster Wine Competition, organized by seafood guru Jon Rowley of Jon Rowley & Associates. Yours truly was one of 25 judges in Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco selecting the 10 winning wines.
Washington showed the best in the annual Pacific Coast Oyster Wine Competition completed last week with four of the 10 winners hailing from the Evergreen state. Kirkland's Cedergreen Cellars won for its 2010 Sauvignon Blanc.
Oregon and California had three wines each among the 10 equal winners, as Rowley likes to say. See below for a complete list of winners.
In judging the wines, Rowley urged us to first smell and then chew the oyster before taking our first sip of wine to rate the "bliss factor." Generally, dry, crisp and clean wines pair best with oysters.
Look for the winning wines at local oyster bars, restaurants or at the Taylor Shellfish store in the Melrose Market on Seattle's Capitol Hill. Most of the wines are also available at specialty retail stores or supermarkets at under $15 a bottle.
2012 "Oyster Award" winners:
Cedergreen Cellars 2010 Sauvignon Blanc
Hogue Cellars 2010 Pinot Grigio
Milbrandt Vineyards 2010 Traditions Pinot Gris
Sockeye 2010 Pinot Gris
Brandborg Vineyard & Winery 2010 Pinot Gris
Foris Vineyard Winery 2010 Pinot Blanc
Van Duzer Vineyards 2011 Pinot Gris
Dry Creek Vineyard 2011 Dry Chenin Blanc

In Detail
PhpMyAdmin is a well known and popular open-source tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Internet. Currently it can create and drop databases, create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields, execute any SQL statement, and manage keys on fields. While most MySQL developers use routine features of phpMyAdmin every day, few are aware of the power and potential of its advanced features. This book builds a solid understanding of the core capabilities of phpMyAdmin before walking you through every facet of this legendary tool.
MySQL is the most popular open-source database, used by millions of developers and supporting numerous large dynamic websites and applications. MySQL acquired this wide popularity by virtue of its open-source nature, performance, reliability, robustness, and support for various platforms. This popularity has also been helped by the existence of phpMyAdmin, the industry-standard administration tool that makes database management easy for both the experienced developer and the novice.
The powerful graphical interface that it provides to MySQL has made phpMyAdmin an indispensable tool for MySQL and web developers. Every phpMyAdmin user can benefit from unlocking the full potential of this powerful application. Whether you are an experienced developer, system administrator, web designer, or new to MySQL and phpMyAdmin, this book will show you how to increase your productivity and control when working with your databases.
This book is an upgrade from the previous version that covered phpMyAdmin Version 2.8. Version 2.10 introduced a new GUI for relations, called Designer, and version 2.11 adds support for creating Views from query results, manages triggers, procedures and functions and has an improved interface for servers handling large number of databases/tables.
This book is a tutorial that systematically explains and demonstrates the potential of this tool. It then goes on to show the less well known and generally under-used features and capabilities of phpMyAdmin in depth.
Who this book is for
Whether you are an experienced developer, system administrator, web designer or new to MySQL, phpMyAdmin is a must-have tool for anyone who needs to manage MySQL databases and tables. This book is a must-read for every serious phpMyAdmin user who would like to use this outstanding application to its full power.

High blood pressure (hypertension) during pregnancy — whether you develop the condition before or after conception — requires special care. Here's what you need to know about high blood pressure and pregnancy.
High blood pressure during pregnancy poses various risks, including:
Sometimes high blood pressure is present before pregnancy. In other cases, high blood pressure develops during pregnancy. For example:
Warning signs of preeclampsia — which can develop gradually or strike suddenly, often in the last few weeks of pregnancy — may include:
Swelling (edema), particularly in the face and hands, often accompanies preeclampsia as well. Swelling isn't considered a reliable sign of preeclampsia, however, because it also occurs in many normal pregnancies.
If you develop signs of preeclampsia, you and your baby will be closely monitored. Sometimes bed rest or hospitalization is recommended. The only cure for preeclampsia is delivery of the baby.
Any medication you take during pregnancy can affect your baby. Although some medications used to lower blood pressure are considered safe during pregnancy, others — such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and renin inhibitors — are generally avoided during pregnancy.
Treatment is important, however. The risk of heart attack, stroke and other problems associated with high blood pressure doesn't go away during pregnancy. And high blood pressure can be dangerous for your baby, too. If you need medication to control your blood pressure during pregnancy, your health care provider will prescribe the safest medication at the most appropriate dose. Take the medication exactly as prescribed. Don't stop taking the medication or adjust the dose on your own.

NEWPORT, R.I. — A police officer at Naval Station Newport has died after being struck on the base by a government truck driven by another Navy employee.
A base spokeswoman said Friday that Frank J. Lema, Sr., a detective who had worked 21 years in the base's security office, was hit around 1:30 p.m. on Thursday. He was taken to Newport Hospital, then Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, where he died at 10:15 p.m.
Spokeswoman Lisa Rama did not identify the driver and did not give details of what happened. She said the accident is being investigated jointly by the Navy Criminal Investigative Service and the Rhode Island State Police.
State Police Col. Steven O'Donnell said his agency was assisting with forensics and accident reconstruction.
Rama said NCIS is involved because Lema worked for base security.

Dave Thier, Contributor
I write about video games and technology.
Nobody knows quite what to do with the Wii U yet. That's not uncommon for a new console. Beyond the always quixotic Nintendo, both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 launched to a suite of hardware and software problems. Even for those who must have what's new, buying a console at launch is oftentimes a recipe for frustration. Combine that with the new gamepad technology, and reviewers are cautiously optimistic about the future of the Wii U – enamored of the technology even as they are hesitant to recommend actually buying one. We here at Forbes will be letting you know what we think soon, but until then, here's what people are saying around the internet:
JC Fletcher, Joystiq: "The GamePad, even if it doesn't feel like the linear progression of game console technology we'd expect, does feel like a futuristic leap. It's rooted in classic experiences, but adds weird new possibilities. Nintendo has always excelled in taking unexpected steps, and this is one of them, even if it lacks the immediate "aha" appeal of the Wii Remote, or whatever it was people saw in holding the middle of the Nintendo 64 controller."
Stephen Totillo, Kotaku: The Wii U is for a new way we live. It's for the era of four people going to dinner, theoretically being together, but all also being off in their own worlds via the cell phones they keep checking. It's for the husband who watches TV and has his iPad nearby while the wife is on her laptop in the same room. It's for the teenagers who text in the movie theater. It's for any of us who, even when we are together, are off in our own worlds. That is how you play the most interesting Wii U multiplayer games. You get together with someone in the same room. You theoretically play the same game, but the Wii U's two screens let you dive into your worlds separately and—this is important and makes this more than a LAN party—lets you interact through your two portals with different sets of controls, doing different things.
David Pierce, Polygon: Nintendo's facing an unfortunate chicken-and-egg problem. Developers won't devote the time to making their Wii U games sing unless a lot of people buy the console, and plenty of shoppers will skip over the console unless the games are great. Nintendo can't rely on its lead-in, either: Wii sales have plummeted in the last year, falling at a much faster rate than its even-older Xbox and PlayStation competitors. The novelty factor of the Wii may have worn off, as customers demand more media features and a better gaming experience — Nintendo has to prove once again that it's a real competitor.
This is the first Nintendo console in two decades that I haven't bought at launch. The Wii was just a massive disappointment to me, and I don't feel like Nintendo has learned anything. I'm sick of every new piece of hardware from them feeling like a new gimmick rather than a fully realized experience.
Hear hear!
I understand you're trying to be fair here, but you're not being overly accurate in your statement: "both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 launched to a suite of hardware and software problems."
The only problems the PS3 encountered that were widescale enough to be worth mentioning were the reports of violence at retailers on launch day. The console itself was extremely reliable straight out of the box and continued to be reliable for the entirety of it's existence. The biggest problems that the PS3 faced were the PSN outage and the leap year bug. They were pretty minor in comparison to some consoles in the present and past, regardless of the drama that some tried to create.
Anyway, I'm not trying to sound like a raving fanboy or anything, but the idea that the PS3 launched to problems is not true. It was a very smooth launch, even if it didn't come into it's own until 2008.

To put it politely, the cinema of Rob Zombie is fairly polarizing. Some folks love him, some folks hate him, and there just aren't a whole lot of people in the middle. Over the course of 10 years, he has made six feature films and one of the fake trailers for the Rodriguez/Tarantino experiment, Grindhouse. Chances are, you either think all of his films are good or, at least, have some kind of merit or are just revolted by the notion that anyone allows him near a camera. The Lords of Salem is unlikely to make anyone jump from his or her respective camp, but it's also his best film to date and an amazing piece of contemporary horror.

There's new information regarding last month's chemical spill on Interstate 81. On February 5th, a tractor trailer carrying chemicals caught fire after the brakes began sparking. Traffic was backed up for miles and several people from the Fort Defiance area were evacuated from their homes.
Now the company that cleaned up the spill is suing the trucking company. Hazmat 2000 is asking for $88,000 from Logistics International for the work it did. It took about five days to clean up the spill.

TRAVERSE CITY — It was a dream come true.
Burt Lake Northern Michigan Christian Academy's Aaron Chatfield has been named to the Michigan soccer Dream Team.
The Michigan High School Soccer Coaches Association announced the selections today.
"I was very shocked," Chatfield said. "I didn't think that was going to happen. That was a big surprise to me."
He's the first Dream Teamer from northern Michigan since Traverse City West's Casey Townsend won back-to-back Mr. Soccer awards in 2006 and 2007.
"I'd like to thank all the people who spoke on my behalf — people that thought I deserved it," Chatfield said. "I don't know whether I do or not, but I guess someone thought I did. And all my teammates in past years and this year that have helped me to be able to do what I've done. And I thank God."
He's just the fifth Division 4 player to earn a Dream Team spot since its inception in 2001. Prior to that, the association only chose Mr. Soccer in addition to all-state teams.
"I was very thrilled to hear the news about him making it," said Lee Chatfield, Aaron's older brother and NMCA's coach. "It's an honor to get that award, because so many people have to speak on your behalf. It isn't an award that's handed out flippantly. So it's humbling, and we're very thankful for everyone who spoke on his behalf."
That includes Petoskey head coach Zach Jonker, who is a vice president of the coaches' association and pushed for Chatfield after the Northmen saw him in action.
"To have a team in high school that doesn't perform well and to still get an award like this, it's quite an accomplishment," Lee Chatfield said. "I thought it was a great way to cap off Aaron's decorated career. I was a little stunned after I heard the news, but I thought it was very deserving."
The Eagles finished the season 14-10 this season, when Aaron scored 68 goals, a mark that puts him third on Michigan's single-season goals list. He finished with 201 career goals, becoming only the fourth player nationally to hit the 200 mark.
"None of that comes without all the hard work of all the teammates that have been around him for years," Lee Chatfield said. "It's an accomplishment for our school and our community is proud of Aaron."
